The ZM Podcast Network. Hey! ZM's Fleetspawn and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fleetspawn and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee. For only $4, conditions apply. I hope this weather clears up before tomorrow

because producer Jared and I might be struck in the perfect low tide to go and retrieve that magnet we lost last week, magnet fishing. Yeah, now the problem is your perfect low tide actually coincides with a lot of Executive Internania's meetings tomorrow. Well, I'll take my lunch break early tomorrow and go down through my lunch hour.

I worked out that 10am is the ideal time. Absolutely not. We can all go. It would be a great night outing. No, we've got meetings till 11.30. No, no. This is the first I've heard about this and I'm not impressed. 11.30. Don't let him go.

Maybe the meeting will go faster. It'll definitely go faster. Waffling on about shit. And I'll be back faster because I'll hope to catch that meeting. Also, you've got terrible weather this week for magnet fishing. It's raining and windy all day. Well, no, this is just retrieval of magnet. Well, what's the tide today?

There's a bit of blue sky out there now. Off you go. Do it today. I don't know what time the low tide is. I feel like later in the week was more opportune. Yeah, you're not getting that magnet back. Yeah, tight. There is a big red rope tied to it.

Current. Still. It's stuck. The car couldn't pull it out. That must be wedged in there well. Yeah. We'll see. You're not getting it back.

You'll have to go the other way. And then you'll cut yourself on the oysters on the rocks. Delicious. Well, I ordered some more magnets to replace this magnet and then got given a magnet, so I'm quite magneted up at the moment. You don't need that magnet back. Last night I was taking out these magnets that I purchased online

and I had a box open and a magnet in there and I pulled another magnet out and I shit you not, the magnet in the box jumped out of the box about 20 centimeters and was like bang and smashed together with the other magnet. Oh my god what about your fingers? Well luckily I was holding that other magnet

by the top. Oh right. Otherwise oh my god it would be like slamming your fingers between two hammers they were coming together fast and hard and then I had to pull them apart and that was nearly impossible. Yeah, right. Absolutely crazy.

That makes me think that plot line of Fast and the Furious with the magnets in the truck would not have worked. They would have just stuck together. Powered magnets. How many gauss are the magnets? How many what? Gauss. G-A-U-S-S. Is that the technical term?

The unit of magnetic field. Gauss. I don't know. I don't know. Lots. Lots, though. Is that the technical term? The unit of magnetic field. I don't know. Lots. Lots though. Is that bad for your body? Great, it's pulling all the heavy metals out that I get from drinking non-filtered waters. Yeah, stay tuned as

Vaughan may lose a finger or his life with his adventures of magnet fishing. Thanks Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleets Vaetspawn and Megan as you heard in the news are some high winds around the country the passes in the South Island and in Auckland the Harbour Bridge Covered in snow Wind

Wind Wind And snow No snow Did they not get any snow down south? No, it's coming. Oh. It's coming.

It's wind at the moment. Right. It's windy. One at a time then. Now, getting over the Harbour Bridge this morning, Executive Intern Anya, the Tucson, the little Tucson. Yes. How did that go?

I thought about it strategically and I went on the inside lane so that I wouldn't blow off. There'd be less risk going over the side. And you didn't blow off? No, still here. I thought you'd be more likely to blow off because the wind would blow you across the bridge. You'd hit the thing with more speed, whereas if you were on the outside lane, it would just be a little nudge into the rail.

Nah, because then you've only got one rail and you're over the side. Oh, you're inside. There's the two gaps, isn't it? Yeah. How did you go, Jared? The bits struggled, but we hugged the rail by the big drop. Oh, yeah. Because we fly by the seat of our pants.

Right, so you were on the side. You didn't go the middle lanes. No. Okay, and did you just stay in one lane? Mostly. The wind kind of pushed me to the right and then back to the left a little bit. You were zigzagging. Yeah, zigging and zagging.

I reckon if the bits went in the harbour, we could go magnet fishing for it. One person could pull that car out. Yeah, yeah, it's light. We'll just get a good grip on the roof. We'll be able to pull that bad boy right back out. Well, yeah, take care if you're out driving this morning. Winds on the harbour bridge are up to 110km this morning.

I've never seen so many branches on the road. Right. Like, I was sure there must have been some sort of tornado situation. But no. It was just apparently insanely high winds. The trampoline had jumped out of the ground and done a roly-poly this morning. Great. It must have been what the dog was barking at.

The power was going off and on all night. Yeah. Hell of a time. Hell of a... Well, you'll rebuild, I'm sure. We will rebuild. I already flipped the tramp back over. Oh, so you've rebuilt. Well, you'll rebuild, I'm sure. We will rebuild. I already flipped the tramp back over. Oh, so you've rebuilt.

Yeah. Okay, good. I've rebuilt. All before work. What a day. What a productive day so far. Coming up on the show, we've got the top six. Yeah.

Did you know Waka Kotahi, the Ministry of Transport, they've got to move some endangered bats to build a road. I didn't know we had endangered bats. All of our bats are endangered. They're our only native mammals. Let them go. That's why, because you need to see them. Have you not seen Batman and Plague stuff?

But have you seen our bats? Our bats, compared to Australian fruit bats, are like Kiwis compared to eagles. Oh, right. They were left on this island right. Like, they were left on this island for so long they were just kind of like, oh, I don't know

if I can be bothered flying. I'll just crawl around using these wings. Do our bats not fly? Not very well. These ones, these are very little. They're a crawly bat.

Imagine what our Batman would look like. Like a home brand Batman. Crawling on the ground. Yeah, like a Pam's Batman. Yeah. He'd probably just get blazed and watch some telly, to be totally honest. Dressed as a bat.

All right, we'll be top six dealing with that. I'll tell you how they plan to encourage these bats to move somewhere else and give you the top six other ways to move bats. All right, also got a chance for you to win a Brands Basket. All thanks to brands.co.nz. Before seven, we're going to need two callers, and you've got to guess the value of our Brands Basket, all thanks to brands.co.nz. Before seven, we're going to need two callers, and you've got to guess the value of our Brands Basket today. We'll give you some more details about what's in that

so you can work that out soon. I'll give you a chance for you to call through. When you hear the activator, next though, Qantas, the Australian airline, selling off some things. Chance for you to get a bit of plain memorabilia. You'll be into that. Nah, I don't know about this one. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.

Qantas giving you the chance to bid their set up an auction. Bid on a couple of old business class A380 plane seats. Oh, when you said old I thought you were going to tell me about like you know you say old, old like 1960s going to tell me about like, you know, you see old, old, like 1960s

business class. And it's just a seat. It's a couch. It's like what we sit in now. But a bit bigger. Oh no, I always think it looks like a couch. Yeah, but an uncomfortable one that doesn't recline. Yeah, but they're all having a smoke and like eating a full-blown roast meal. Yeah, and they're all dressed

in suits. Yeah. Because it was like, that's what you did. That's what I saw yesterday. It was comparing travel on planes in like the 60s and all the men are in suit and ties. Yeah. And then it said 2021 and it was a guy who had just taken a photo of a person sitting in front of him with a hat that said, show us that butthole.

Yeah, that's where we are as a society. That's a good snapshot, really. My dad puts on a collared shirt to go on a plane. Does he? Yeah. He'll just go in shorts, but he'll put on his boat shoes. Right, but he never would just wear a T-shirt. No, I think, no, I can't think of when I've been on a plane with him

or seen him on a plane where he hasn't been wearing a collared shirt. It's pretty cute that he still dresses up. Oh, yeah, he's got to dress up for travel. Well, you can only bid for these business class. They're A380. You know the double-decker planes? Yeah. They're the old business class seats in that

because apparently Qantas are getting rid of a whole lot of those planes but also changing their business class. So do they have to get rid of, do they have to return them without seats? Who are they returning it to? Who are they selling it to? Who are they selling it to? What will these A380s be doing? Stripped down for parts? I don't know.

They'll sell them to other plane makers or whatever. But they've got two up for grabs. But would you want a manky seat that thousands of people have slept in and farted on? Nah. Even if you gave it a little, what's that thing you hire from the supermarket? A rug doctor. With the couch attachment. Yeah, with the couch attachment.

Would that still be? Don't do that in winter, by the way. That takes a long time to dry. That's a summer activity. Is it? The rug doctor and the couch. Yeah, right. Have you had a wet experience?

I've had many a wet rug doctor. A damp carpet. Yeah, right. Yeah, took a while to dry. You can only bid for these old business class seats using Qantas points. So like their version of air points. Oh, so they want everyone to burn through their Qantas points so they go back to paying

actual money for flights. Uh-huh, because I think everybody's kind of accumulating points in the last year or so. So if you have 350,000 Qantas points, which I think is a lot. Like I forget. Good God. I think I got a flight to Sydney once with Qantas points, which I think is a lot. Like, I forget. Good God. I think I got a flight

to Sydney once with Qantas points, and it was maybe like 30 thousand points, or 40 thousand, so you need a lot. Yeah. Is that how much they want for the chairs? Yeah, that's how much it is. The opening bid, 350 thousand Qantas points. God, look.

So, yeah. But again, if you want that manky seat, oh yeah, no, it's not... Oh yeah, no, it's not even that nice. Are you having a... Yeah, it's not even like... I was thinking... Oh, no. You'd actually just... You'd better

go to the store and buy a Lazy Boy or a couch. Yeah. But is it for collectors of... I'd say so, yeah.azy Boy or a couch. Yeah. A nice couch. But is it for collectors of... I'd say so, yeah. It's aviation nuts, right? Aviation nerds. Yeah. 16 past six. There are consumer laws that Gen Zers don't know about.

And? And me. Megan's reading the article. Young millennials as well. Yeah, right. Megan's reading the article like, I didn't know half of this. Yeah, informative.

Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. MB, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment have done new research and they have found that a lot of Gen Zers don't know their consumer rights. So that's people between 18 and 26 are less likely to know their consumer rights. You know why?

It's because they didn't have to grow up watching Fair Go with mum and dad. So you get your consumer rights drilled into you by Kevin Milne. Yeah. And Pippa Wetzel. Well, no, Pippa's a late addition. Oh, she's a late. She's now.

Hayden. Hayden and Pippa. But, yeah, back in the day you had old Kerry did it as well. Kerry Woodham. Yeah. She was a Fair Go staple. Yeah. You'd just be like Take them to fair go

I'm gonna take you to fair go And then Target came out With it's plumbers Having to play with themselves Into the under drawer And that was all too Like Hollywood And everybody

Stopped It was builders Builders and plumbers Playing with themselves No Tradies Builders sniff the knickers Oh yeah sorry

Plumbers played with themselves Yeah plumbers do that Which is worse I beat you now I beat you now I'm a foul of a sniffing knicker I beat you There are yeah plumbers do that which is worse uh oh i think now i'm not a fellow i bet you there are still plumbers disagree there will be that still go into a house and think i could be on target not sniffity knickers today good and you know what that's good if i wasn't home and i was getting a tradie coming around, I would print something off that said, proposed next season of Target and I'd leave it on the table.

Like, confidential, plan for next season of Target by TV producer me. And then just leave it on the table so they'd see it and they'd be like, ooh, better stay out the knickers drawer. So yeah, they didn't know their consumer rights. They hadn't heard

of the Consumer's Guarantees Act, which sets the rules about warranty of goods. I didn't know that you could return a product if it was faulty. So you can return a product even after the warranty has expired. What, you thought that you had to do it within 12 months? Within the warranty time, yeah. Yeah, right. But no, because there's a fair expectation that if you buy something like a fridge or

TV, that it will work for longer than 12 months. Right. Who knew? I think most people. Not everybody. They didn't know it. Producers didn't know it. Really?

Also. It can't be bought for commercial use. It has to be brought for private use. Personal use. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Personal use. 100%. But yeah, if you bought, say you bought a blender and it lasted 13 months, you'd take

it back because there's a fair expectation that that would last a few years. Yeah. I did not know that. What's the point of buying like an extended warranty? That's the thing. It's not a scam, but it's not worth the money. Less argument. You get less argument.

Less argument when you take stuff back. What? What? I had no idea. Also, a lot of people didn't know, 28% didn't know that a WebAdrex ending in.co.nz doesn't mean the business is based in New Zealand. I thought that was a given. No, it's just like the New Zealand branch. Anyone can get one.

But I mean, I knew that there was a Consumer Guarantees Act, but no one's sitting down to read that. No. You just trust retailers are going to be like, no, you can't do that. You can do that And No it turns out They're not

Yeah cause they were trying Cause I went to a retailer A big retailer once And I think they were In the news for this And they were like No no we're not giving you Your money back

You can have a store credit I was like no That's not the That's not the rules If they told me that I'd be like Oh okay Yeah

I can't Okay sweet I reckon Younger people don't know about it because they didn't grow up with parents who kept every single receipt. Yeah. My parents had, I always kind of wondered what it was,

but it was this thing and they kept every receipt of everything they bought. But also you couldn't go to Kmart and buy a $12 kettle. No, exactly. Like that's the other thing. You went to some like local electronic store and Morrinsville, it was Heathcote Appliances. Yeah.

And they knew everybody. So you'd go back in, and you'd be like, Steve, this bloody iron shit itself. Steve would be like, you're kidding me. Give it here. Grab one off the shelf. Get out of here. Whereas now, if you buy an iron from Kmart, and it's $19.

And then it breaks. You're like, oh. Get another one. And then literally chuck it in the like, oh. Get another one. And then literally chuck it in the bin and then go online and complain about climate change. Chuck it in the bin and then go online and be like, they're not doing enough. They're not doing enough. Gen Z.

Yeah. From the first class ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hey. Hey. the top six. Hey. Hey. Now, listen up. The transport agency, Wakakutahi, it plans there's a proposed route or route,

depending on how you like to say it. I say route. Route. I do too. I say route. But the thing at home with the internet is the router. Yes. Yep. Uh-huh. Route. I do too. I say route. But the thing at home with the internet is the router. Yes.

Yep. Uh-huh. Yep. I think that's how it's said. And when you have someone over for the night, you route them. They're rerouted, yes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, 100%. So, man, you're a mean route. And that's not offensive because it's not the right word I see it If anyone wants to dare try to complain about that Have a go Okay, after that statement I'm just going to take some time for myself

Okay, I'm You like to eat at restaurants? I like to eat I can't find the time I'm going to take some time for myself I thank everybody for their time. This, of course, is my call. Okay.

This is quite sudden. I know it is. I better do this first. Okay. Waka Kotahi, the transport agency, they're building a proposed new router, Mount Messenger Bypass State Highway 3. Oh, this is where you drive from the Naki,

from Plymouth, if you go to Auckland. Correct, Armando. Or the Waikato. So there's a problem. The long-tailed bat lives there now. This is an endangered bat. And I'll show you a photo of it. Because like,

I don't mean to be rude. Our bats are pathetic. Oh, that looks real fluffy though. They're all crawling. It's fluffy. The problem is you won't get a lot of... I might be wrong, but I don't think they're big flyers.

They're big fans of crawlers. They're like the kakapo of the bat world. You just won't get a lot of sympathy from people in the Naki because that road is such a horrible drive. It's been needing a... Oh yeah, by all means save yourself 20 minutes and bulldoze the bats. So

how they plan to relocate them is basically finding where they roost and pretty much filling it up with Space Invader. You know that stuff you squirt into like a wall when you've got a hole in it and it provides a backing and then you plaster it? Do bats roost? They roost. Yeah, that's the term.

They roost inside like rotting logs and... Oh, not a cave. Well, cave life. A big cave structure. Nah, see Batman. Okay. Got them wrong there. They'll just kind of

especially our ones. Yeah. So yeah, they're just going to kind of it seems they're just going to fill in the cracks, crevices, holes

and potential former and future roost sites. Imagine coming home to your house and someone's filled it with space invaders. Oh, my God. And you're like, I guess I have to find another place.

Open the door. You know how you're once the door's open, you're just kind of like looking down. You walk in, you're like. Yeah. What the hell? Come in. So apparently this is a very controversial way of doing it. So I've got the top six ways to get bats to move on.

Okay. Number six on the list of the top six ways to get bats to move. Tell the bats that you've got family moving back from overseas that need the rental so they've got like 30 days to clear out. Okay. Yeah. It's just you've been good bat tenants, but, like, we've just got family coming back. And then you drive past the flat in, like, three months,

and there's another group of students living in there. You're like, oh, you just didn't like us. Yeah, you didn't like us, and you wanted to hike the gotcha. Number five on the list of the top six ways to get bats to move are finding out that the bats have a dog and then evict them for a legal pet. Okay. Say you didn't want damage to the hardwood floor have a dog and then evict them for a legal pet. Okay. Yeah. Say you didn't want damage to the hardwood floor from a dog running around,

and that was part of the tenancy agreement, and they breached it. No pets, so they're going to have to move. Number four on the list of the top six ways to get bats to move. Make the log so untenable that they have to move out because it's bad for their health to live there. Yeah, right. And that's like a log, so imagine how damp it would have to be. Yeah. You'd really have to have full-blown dampness.

Number three on the list of the top six ways to get bats to move rather than just filling their home with Space Invader. Tell the neighbours that they're related to the bats that caused COVID. They'll run them out of town. They'll run them out of town. Yeah. You bet. You absolutely bet they will.

Number two on the list of the top six ways to get the bats to move out rather than fill in the household space. They better plant drugs in the house. Yeah, and then call the police. Yeah, call the police. Exactly. They come. They're arrested.

Maybe the kid bats are left behind. They're taken into care. Yeah. And there you go. You can build your precious roads. And number one on the list of the top six ways to get bats to move, hike the rent, baby. Yeah.

Hike that rent. That is today's top six. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Drive safe if you're on the roads this morning, especially in Auckland. Winds of up to 110 k's. It's been some wild few hours this morning between three and five shipping containers, trees down.

Check on your grandparents because those really heavy cast iron white furniture they have outside, two seats and a table. You know the one. Everybody's grandparents have one. That may have blown over. Those will be on the lawn. They could hurt themselves lifting them back up. Those things are

insanely heavy and wildly uncomfortable. Were they ornamental furniture or did they actually serve a purpose? I never saw my grandparents sitting on these. No.

Horrible things. Now this is a warning that you may also pass on to your grandparents or the boomers in your life or just your gullible millennial chums.

Yeah. The $3 Dyson vacuum that is being advertised on places like Facebook. It's a scam. Okay, guys, it's a scam. I thought that a $1,000 vacuum cleaner. Yes. I mean, they go from anywhere between $600 and $1,200.

The ones that are being advertised, the Cyclone V11 Dyson starts at over $1,000. Yeah. There's no way. So there's not a $3 one. It would cost Dyson more than $3 to make that. Yes. Like, let's get realistic, people. Wildly so.

So you may have seen it. It's Dyson. It says Dyson New Zealand. It doesn't have a blue tick or anything. Dyson sells the remnants of the previous Cyclone V11 model for $3. Hurry and get one by just filling out the form. Uh-oh. Ah, yeah.

So what, you give them all your details? It actually looks like a sports reporter, Ashley Tullock, standing in front of that screen. I wonder if they used her or somebody's photo. It might not be. I guess she's got it in $2.99. Who's believing that? That's the other part about this.

That's insanely poorly photoshopped. They put the sign on saying $2.99. So the idea is obviously they get your information and then they can use that for mischievous purposes. And you don't get a $3 dice in. Yeah. This is Pack and Save kind of experiencing another blip of the whole, oh, for the first 500 people, it's a $1,000 voucher and no one does the maths

of that costing Pack and Save half a million dollars. Yeah. So there is, even though I thought last year there was a good concentration on it because everybody was spending so much more time online about fake news, fraud, scams, these sorts of things. Apparently it is still happening in New Zealand. New Zealand has lost $3 million to online scams in the first quarter of 2021 alone.

And that's the ones that reported it. Exactly. Because how many people would be too embarrassed? Totally. Do you still have a system for your mum, parents and people

in your life where if they're worried about something they just ask you? Yep. They call, they ask, it'll be a judgment-free zone.

Yep. Which is hard sometimes to keep it judgment-free with some of the questions about things I've seen online. Because it's like, no, you're not winning that flight centre voucher.

Yeah. No, keep a straight face for them and then come and talk about it on the radio and we can have a laugh. We can laugh about it later. But, yeah, that's the sort of thing. You're just doing what every good son does. We should do. Protect his inheritance.

The weird part. Exactly. Exactly. The weird part about it is these were the people that raised us on the saying, if it's too good to be true, it probably is. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, what happened to that? And make sure he's got the lollies before you get in the van.

Don't get in on the promise of lollies. See the lollies. Or grab the lollies and run. Yeah, yeah. That's what mum would say. So two jobs today. Make sure your grandparents' furniture hasn't blown away. Uh-huh.

Make sure auntie and mum and dad aren't falling for online. For a $3 Dyson vacuum. Yeah. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. This study kind of has remind me. Reminded me? Reminded. Remound me.

The post tense of remind, of course, remound. Yeah. I've been remunded. No, I've been remanded. No, remanded, this is already a word. Yeah, that's course, remound. Yeah. I've been remounded. No, I've been remanded. No, remanded, this is already a word. Yeah, that's prison. Remended. Yeah.

That's where you remand something over. Anyway, look, this has reminded me that I have had a very, very, what they call nuclear family textbook existence. Yeah. I grew up in a family with both parents who are still married. They still are. All of us. Yeah.

I had a brother. I had a sister. You know, we never went through. At the time, we thought we were going through hard times because mum wouldn't buy us a starter jacket. Sure. Someone had a starter jacket. But they were going through other stuff in life, you know?

Their parents were separated. Yeah, when you talk to, like, when you look at all your friends and people you work with, like, that's pretty rare, because it would be over more than half. Yeah. Whose parents aren't still together. By the end of it, right?

But there's been a study, the Otago University study has talked to 15-year-olds. Yeah. And only 47% were living with both their biological parents. Yeah, right. So, yeah, under half. Okay. Wow.

So, a lot of people were living in what is called a traditional nuclear family. Yeah, right. And it's not as common as it once was. Wow. Yeah, right. And it's not as common as it once was. Wow. Yeah, I know. I just, I mean, there's a lot of separation and they might live with dad and mum, but at different times and they split their time between.

And, you know, you see it and you hope for the best that mum and dad can continue to, you know, raise them and love them and share the time with them and everything. But yeah, just kind of like less than half now of these surveyed. And they said it was a good spread across, you know, the people that they surveyed. It wasn't just all high earners or middle earners or low earners.

It was kind of spread across the board. Yeah, right. The board of families. Yeah. 44% were either in a sole parent or some form of multiple resident care, like grandparents or extended family. Wow. 80% of 15-year-olds lived with a non-nuclear family member, for example, parents' new partner, or an extended family member,

like grandparents had moved in, maybe to help with the childcare because mum and dad needed to work, but the grandparents were of the age to retire. So, yeah. 94% had moved house at least once and over half of them had moved house more than five times

by the time they were 15. Yeah. Did the study look into who got more of what they wanted like starter jackets? No, starter jackets

didn't come into it. By playing parents off against each other. Is that what you mean? Yeah. Or like with grandparents and being like, oh, no, I need it. I like that. My nan would look at a starter jacket and be like, how much?

Yeah, no way. What, four? No way you're getting that. I'll knit you one. I like that that's where you first went is how can I get my starter jacket? Yeah. Yeah. I'll knit you one.

So, yeah was 13% Were in shared Parental care arrangements After their parents Had separated So that was like Only 13% Whose parents

Had separated Yeah Were like Equally shared amongst Yeah right Wow Yeah That's just

Yeah Another reminder You know So like being in the Minority for once I don't like it. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Being a Disney princess fan could make your children hold more progressive views, especially on gender.

So this study was done with 300 boys and girls when they were in preschool and then they studied them five years later. Yeah. And, you know, they watched a lot of Disney princess films in that time and they studied their attitudes toward gender before and after. So they've found that, and these are probably more progressive Disney films. So we're talking like your Frozens, your Moanas, rather than like maybe Little Mermaid, which isn't so progressive when you rewatch that.

I think they've definitely evolved. You look back, you had your damsels in distress, your Snow Whites. Your Cinderella's. Yep, Cinderella's, Sleeping Beauty. Yeah. Little Mermaid. That was my favourite, and then it's really not a good,

it's not a great message. But now you've got your Moana, you've got your Frozen's, Tangled, Princess and the Frog. What other? Who am I missing? The more modern ones. Mulan, yeah. Actually, would she have been the original?

Yeah, I'd say so. The original badass Disney princess. Yeah. So they found that those who watched Disney princess films and played with related toys at age five had more equal views towards women. And so I guess that's counting boys. Yeah. Children who preferred the more independent princesses, such as Mulan and Moana, did not display less gender stereotypical views than those who liked Cinderella. Yeah, right. It said that Princess engagement

was associated with lower adherence to masculinity and higher body esteem. So they felt better about their bodies. Uh-huh. That's good. And it was not associated with gender stereotypes later on so they were less likely to adhere to the

stereotypical gender stereotypes and it said it included boys and girls so let your boys watch and play with princess dolls yeah because they're like adventures and there's always like the comical male relief as well

if they're looking for a character to play. Yeah. Moana had her Maui. Yeah. Rapunzel had her Flynn Rider. What Disney princess would I be? You haven't even watched half of them. I know, but which one would I be?

Real. My favourite is... You'd be one of the old school ones. She's, borderline whether or not she's considered a Disney princess is Merida from Brave. Real. My favourite is You'd be one of the old school ones. She's borderline whether or not she's considered a Disney princess is Merida from Brave.

Okay. She's awesome. Why is that border why is that because she it was Pixar. Oh right okay.

Not like Disney Studios. I think it was the pics of the side ones the people that do like Toy Story and stuff.

But she's still like under the Disney umbrella. Right. What Disney princess would you be? You'd be Cinderella's sister. It's not a Disney princess. She's a princess.

She's princess adjacent. I don't want to be a Disney princess adjacent. You would be... I think you'd be Snow White. Really? Yeah. Okay. Why? I think you'd be Snow White. Really? Yeah. Okay.

She wasn't happy with one guy. She had to move to the bush and live with seven. I wish I'd never asked. You do want to live in the bush. I wish I'd never asked. With seven little men. And you cook and clean for them. Oh my God. That's not very progressive. Except you're gr clean for them. Oh my God. That's not very progressive.

Except you're grumpy. Yeah. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. What a final week of the Tokyo Olympics. Yep. Day 12 today. A recap from last night. I went to bed early, so I missed the hockey.

How did we do in the hockey? We lost 3-0 Against the world number ones though The Netherlands are an absolute force To be reckoned with on that turf my friends I think congratulations to the Black Sticks For keeping the The current gold medalists Oh no wait it was

Anyway whatever They were an amazing hockey team They kept them 3-0 Yep Also the equestrian Now I will admit Oh, no, wait, it was... Anyway, whatever. They were an amazing hockey team. They kept them 3-0. Yeah. Also, the equestrian. Now, I will admit that yesterday I received some quite angry feedback from a horse person when I said the horses should get the medals and not the people.

Now, that was in jest, of course. Yeah. But I do think... I'm not saying the humans shouldn't get a medal, but the horse should get a medal. Well, they're technically doing the jumping, aren't they? Exactly. And I was told, have I ever jumped a 600kg beast over a pole?

And I said, your mum, and they weren't happy about that. That's actually a good point, though, because you do have to control the 600kg beast. Some bloody oats. And your cute little hats and some barley. The hardest part would be holding a steel wallet, taking it to adjust cuts to get its hair down there.

Well, trotting it through the wall. We'll take you show jumping and we'll chuck you on. There's absolutely no need. I know I can't do it, but I'd like to see them do it without the horses, is what I'm saying.

Yeah. Anyway. We'll share the medal with the horses. All that back and forth with the equestrian, listening to the show when it was obviously just a bit of a joke.

The equestrian team, 11th, 22nd and 24th in the individuals and then 5th overall in the team eventing. Right. And Laurel Hubbard competed last night in the women's 87kg plus weightlifting and did not place. Did not place.

But if you get the audio there of a chat with Laurel afterwards about how it's been at the Olympics. I'm not sure it's possible for any person to really block out everything that's happening in the world. But you just do what you can and get on with it. Yeah, she hears your nasty comments and she is a person. Yeah, imagine the whole world having an opinion about you. It would be horrible.

That would be horrible, right? Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Now, today, medal chances of Peter Birling and Blair Tewkes, 49er. Because that was postponed because of the wins. Yes. Probably our best chance at a medal today. That's what I'm told.

Right. That's what I'm told. Tuesday, the 3rd of August. Other people competing today. Nick Willis. Him and Sam Tanner are running in the 1500 metres. Lisa Carrington's back in the kayak. Did you see?

Lisa Carrington is in a league of her own. She's a machine. Is she a robot? She might be. She's almost a boat length. I know. Is she a robot? She might be. It was almost a boat length. She was like, see ya. And then the doubles yesterday with Caitlin Regal. It was like in a tandem bike.

I reckon Caitlin could have stopped paddling because Lisa was doing the paddling and just went, yeah, I'm paddling. Keep going. When you're on the back of a tandem bike and you give up. No, that's a team effort. No, no, it's a team effort. But I'm saying she probably could have taken it easy. Who else have we got competing today?

Anton Down Jenkins on the three-meter springboard. Yeah. Yep. Hatton and Hoskin in the kayak doubles, and Carrington and Regal in the kayak doubles. Snow Hanson and Wilcox, that's two people. One's got a hyphen name. It sounds like a law firm there, Snow Hanson and Wilcox.

It does. They're in a boat. It really does. I'm sorry, I don't know what kind of boat. I'm just, oh, actually, I can click on this little information thing and it will tell me. Oh, my God. This is so informative every day. It's just...

Sailing. Sailing. Okay. It's got 470 written beside it. Sailing and legal. All your legal requirements. David. I can never say his last name correctly.

Nika. Nika. Yeah. I keep forgetting Which one's the silent one The N or the Y He's guaranteed a medal But

He's up against Is it the Russian Who's never lost in four years So if he's going to get a gold He's got to absolutely Annihilate this guy He has a medal boy from Hamilton I don't like watching him getting

It's too cute a face I know He should be doing a sport where the face isn't touched He should be allowed to touch his face Get him on the back of a horse Up high so everyone can see the beautiful face Yeah right Was it his last fight where

They nibbled on his Yeah No he just like got a little And the other guy looked like he'd Oh yeah yeah yeah Yeah well that's a guy And he's a good-looking boy from Hamilton. Him and I have a lot in common.

Birling and Tuke, as previously mentioned. Josh Jr. as well. That's medal contention. And the cycling. Did you guys see any of the cycling yesterday? No. Did you see the Australian guy? The Australian handlebar just snapped.

His handlebar snapped on his bike. He was doing the velodron, the pursuit thing, and he is going full tilt, full tilt, and his handlebar snapped off. He ate shit. If you ever wondered what it would be like to fall on that polished ground, it ripped his skin up.

It ripped his skin up. It tore his uniform. The dude just got up. Smashed his nose. They had to repair the surface because he hit the ground so hard. Oh, wow. They said, oh, we're going to need to stop this and make sure the ground's all sweet.

So we've got women's team pursuit, men's team pursuit, and men's sprint today on the cycles. Aren't we up for a medal? Like, aren't we guaranteed some sort of medal in team pursuit? Knock on wood. And the men's because of the Australian act. It doesn't have a little medal thing beside it but maybe. Maybe.

Jumping individuals. So there's three more horses that deserve medals today. Cheeky. Tom Walsh is doing shot put. Julia Ratcliffe in the hammer throw for the medal.

Yep. And Jack O'Gill also shot putting today. So lots of Olympic action. Lots of action today from the Kiwis. Yeah, you thought we were winding down.

No sirree, Bob. We're out for those medals for our horses. ZM's Fletchbourne and Megan. Play ZM. Fletchbourne and Megan's Community Notices. Have you ever ridden a pushbike on a velodrome? No. No.

I've ridden a, like, not racy bike on a concrete velodrome that was in Hamilton East once, and it was horrible. So I'm just imagining that wooden one. We just showed Fletch the video of the Australian dude crashing. Jeez. He ate it. And then they averaged, I might be wrong, but they were averaging 80 k's an hour.

Oh, he's going so fast. So fast. Yeah. At the deck. But it was kind of exciting, right? be wrong, but they were averaging 80 k's an hour. Oh, he's going so fast. So fast. At the deck. But it was kind of exciting, right? It was. Yeah, okay, good. That wasn't just me.

Community notices is a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook pages. These are the posts, the photos, the for-sales that you might see that catch your interest and you're like, ha ha, more people should see this that don't just geographically live in my proximity. Yeah, if you see anything pop up on your local Facebook page, it tickles. Tickles your fancy. Send it in to us, FVMZM, on Facebook or Insta.

Now, she's a superstar of the Mount Maunganui Notice Board, Jamelia. Okay. Jamelia's a superstar. Yeah, I like the song. I see what you did there. I feel it really got as much as a dessert from you on that. Stop locking your cars after 8pm at night. Hear me out.

Okay. Okay, Jamelia, I'll hear you out. Some of us have small children and would appreciate it if you'd lock your car with the beep beep noise before 8pm. If that's not an option, then at least disarm the beep beep noise from under your hood. I've heard from numerous neighbours, myself included, it's unwanted and unneeded. Once you've parked your car, lock it and be done.

It's not an all night routine unless you're coming to my home to put my children back to sleep or you're hiding drugs in your car, so please stop. I already have one neighbour under my radar for drugs and another for tax evasion, so I'll call the police if this continues. Have some respect. There are families that live here. We are a community. Thanks. Wow. She's got tags on everybody. Why? How loud are these?

The kids wake up and... No louder than a car driving by or anyone with a loud stereo. Yeah. Weird. But there's a few people saying Yeah. Weird. But there's a few people saying, I agree. How many times do people go to their car at night? But there are other people saying

it's none of your business how many times I go to my car at night. They're free to do that. If I finish work at 10 o'clock, I'm not disarming the doot-doot. Can you lock it with a key and it doesn't beep-beep? But that doot-doot was also like the immobilizer, right? Yeah, which you need.

So then, yeah, if the immobilizer's not on and they get in, your car's going to be easier to steal. Yeah. Anyway, it was one of those posts that certainly got the community talking. 500 odd likes, most of which were laugh, reacts, and hundreds of comments. Hundreds of angry comments. This one from a community notice board for dungeon masters and storytellers. Now, this is a little bit of D&D.

There he is, producer Jared, big fan of Dungeons & Dragons. Dungeons, masters, and storytellers. Hey, group, thanks for the ad. I'm new here. I'm a single kinky daddy dom looking for a subslave who will only serve the daddy dom for real life in my new home. Now, what we've got there is a case of mistaken page identity. Oh, yeah, right.

Okay. I was about to say, what kind of people are you playing these Dungeons and Dragons with, Very different. What's the page called? Dungeon Masters and Storytellers. Yeah, so they've got that confused with the other sorts of dungeons. Is there a profile picture?

No, it's been scribbled out. Join me as we catch a flight down to Invercargill. This one comes to us from Invercargill. Trying to order a taxi in Invercargill. And it says, I can order it only by fax. Order your taxi by fax. [phone] is the fax number to order a taxi. Really? How is that business still running?

Coming soon, you'll be able to order a taxi using your smartphone. Not yet though. As now, as Raewyn writes, I'm trying to order a taxi in Invercargill. I guess I'll just whip out my fax machine to order a taxi.

Yeah, wow. But no smartphone way to just a fax. Somebody got in touch with us. Nikki is her name, and she said this is a community notice, a weekly occurrence in Whangamata, and it gets out of control in the summer. Okay. Patrick writes on the Whangamata

notice board. Afternoon great and wonderful peeps of Whanga. Is anybody heading to Waihi or Thames today? I've got a crippling hangover and I'm in serious need of KFC. We'll pay for your services appropriately thanks in advance. So that's yeah, people need to get through to get the old

greasy dirty bird there and Patrick's willing to pay for the for you to transport that for him. This is like a thriving business opportunity in the small Coromandel beachside town. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to ours, FVMZM on Facebook. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Is there any greater joy in life than saying I told you so? Getting married, having two children, seeing, you know,

friends have successes. All pale in comparison to a good I told you so. It's probably this bitter, drunk Irishman that lives deep inside me. He's like, do it, do it. Say I told you so, let them have it. I love it. But I've got to the point where there's been a couple of examples lately with my mum, one of which was when they went to Australia. Yep.

And they got stuck there. They thought they might got stuck there. And she said, go ahead and say it. And I was like. Because she's a real I told you so. That's where I get it from. All of this deep down repressed Irish Catholic guilt comes straight from my mum's family.

And there are generations, you can look at generations of photos and see it in their eyes. You didn't say it. I didn't say it. Okay. No, you didn't say it, but if she saw your face, your face says it. It was the same when they got their dogs and they didn't automatically have pet insurance.

And mum tried to be the tough farmer and be like, well, if something happens, it's going to be cost that much. They'll just have to, you know, be put down. And I was like, here we go. And then the dog hurt itself. Yeah. And they said two scenarios. It'll come right after a week or it's going to cost $8,000.

What? Mum was like, say it. I was like, mum, I would take absolutely no pride in saying it. Plus, if you know I'm going to say it, it's pretty much already been said. Job's done. Job's done. You know I'm thinking it, so that's enough. You just look at her and raise your eyebrows.

She's gagging to get one back on me. Yeah. So I feel like this is how it works between me and my mum. Yeah. It's just a battle of I told you so's till one of on me. Yeah. So I feel like this is how it works between me and my mum. Yeah. It's just a battle of I told you so until one of us dies. Yeah. Like, if you're a long time listener to the show,

you'll be aware of a lighthearted agreement I have with my mother that I'll smother her with a pillow one day. Yep. But I almost guarantee I'll be doing it and I'll chicken out and I'll stop but she'll look at me and she'll be like, I told you so.

I knew you couldn't do it. I told you. And I'll stop, but she'll look at me and she'll be like, I told you so. I knew you couldn't do it. And I'll be like, yeah! And I'll go back on. I'll be like, oh, you can't win the last I told you so! And then I go to jail for parenticide. Is that what it's called? Yeah, I believe so. Maternicide? Anyway, so I want to

make this, I'm going to say super vague, because I don't want to get them in trouble, but they were recently presented with an ideal opportunity to say I told you so to their partner. Yeah. That's the best I told you so, by the way. Yeah. The nearest and dearest. The I told you so.

Oh, that's a good feeling. I couldn't pass it up. I'd look Sade directly in the eye. You'd just kill yourself in so much trouble. And she'd know it was coming and I'd be like, I told her. I told you so. Just experience a joygasm. And I'd feel like I'd be draining her soul and I'd be powering my own.

It does feel good, though. Some sort of egotistical maniac. I was right. I knew best. So what was your friends I knew best. So what was your friends I told you so? I'm not saying. I'm remaining vague. But he had the opportunity to say it to his partner and he

didn't. I said teach me your superpower. That's what he said. He's like it didn't need to be said. They were already feeling it and I didn't need to say it. I was like that's when you smash them with it. That's when you grab the I told you so like a bat and just. It's important they know that you told them you were right.

And that's why his marriage will last. Yeah. And mine's on tenterhooks all the time. All the time. But I would love to know when you didn't even need to say I told you so. Yeah. Tell us the situation. Tell us your I told you so moments.

Yeah. Say, tell us if you get more joy out of a look that says I told you so without actually having to say I told you so. Because it's like you said it. Really, isn't it? Oh, when they look at you and they're just like, and they're waiting for it. It's just that glint in your eye.

Yeah, and you're just like. That glee that they can see in your eyes. I'm not going to say it. And they know you're going to say it at some stage. Yeah. Put that one in the back pocket for an argument that you're losing. And then they've got you and be like, what about that time? It's like a pick up 16.

It really is. You're playing a game of Uno. It's a skip, a pick up 16, and then you say Uno. And just as you're about to play the last card, you're like, I told you so. Boom. All right, so 0800-DARLS-IT-M, 9696. Give us a call or a text now. When did you not even need to say, I told you so?

We're talking about when you didn't need to even say, I told you so. You gave someone fair warning. You told them maybe their idea wasn't a great idea. They decided to do it anyway. There are some amazing stories coming through. Anonymous, when did you not have to say I told you so? Hey, so early last year my father-in-law and I

were having a conversation and I said I was going to go stock up on the kids' clothing because I work for an import company and I was like this COVID thing, man, it's going to hit all the imports and there's not going to be much stuff on the shelf. He just missed me and told me it was just the flu and I was being paranoid

and it wouldn't come to anything. Wow. Cut it out of there. What is the latest on that? I think when he got COVID, he sort of started to realise it's not just the flu.

Oh my God. Holy shit. He got it. Yeah, and the same with my sister-in-law when she got it. I kind of think they realised it's not really just a fluke.

No. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I totally ought to start a conversation. Did you? I mean, I would have wanted to say it. Tell me so. I so, so want to say it, but I kind of don't have to

because they're in the UK and they can't come out and see us, so it kind of speaks for itself. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? Amazing. Hey, anonymous, thank you for your call. Some text messages. When you could have said I told you so, but chose not to. I lent my friend a mandolin.

Familiar with a mandolin? Yeah. It's a small stringed instrument. And the Disney series, the mandolin. The mandolinian. Mandolinian. It just goes around the galaxy playing annoying bard songs. Yeah.

Bardsong? Bard songs. Lent my friend a mandolin. G gave the warning on how to use it safely. Okay. He was all shitty and said, I'm not stupid. The drive to the hospital to sew his fingertips back on was fun. And it didn't seem safe. That's what I messaged him back.

It's not the instrument. There's a meat slicer. I just messaged him. I was like, wait, a mandolin isn't the instrument. There's a meat slicer. I just messaged them. I was like, wait, a mandolin is in the instrument. And I Googled it. Did it autocorrect from mandolin to meat slicer? No, there is a slicer called a mandoline. It's mandolin, but it's got a knee on the end.

Now, the person that texted in failed to mention. Oh, my. It's like you see them cutting the luncheon at the supermarket. Yeah. Is that the one that Mickey Rooney punched in that movie, The Wrestler? And the little skinny veggies. You can do your... Yeah.

No. Okay. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. We're talking about when you didn't even need to say I told you so. Or maybe you did, but you resisted. Or maybe you just full on smashed them in the face with I told you so. Some great stories coming through. My husband and I took the kids out on the farm to play in the snow,

reads this text message. Yeah. When heading home, he wanted to take a shortcut. I suggested in the icy conditions it would be too slippery. Yeah. He told me he knew best, and as we headed down the hill, our can-am tipped over and threw us and all the kids out. He smashed the roll frame and did his AC joint.

I made sure I drove through all the potholes while heading to the emergency room in my own way of saying, I told you so. My partner's car insurance had lapped. I'd been telling her for weeks she needed to sort out her insurance. Anyway, September last year with the Hawke's Bay floods, I was driving home, came down my street, the water all of a sudden got very high and my car was written off. All good.

I had insurance. Yep. I got home. She was then freaking out as the water was written off. All good. I had insurance. Yep. I got home. She was then freaking out as the water was quickly coming up our driveway. We spent hours in the pouring rain

trying to get her car up onto wooden pallets to keep the engine out of the water. We managed to save it but she had the audacity to tell me to hurry up as her seats were getting wet

from the rain. I would have let that car absolutely get submerged and then just give this look like... But it's going to cost you too. I told you. So? Tamara, when did you not even have to say I told you so?

Okay, I just need to give a little bit of backstory. Okay. My friend and I were house-sitting for a family friend of hers whose husband had just died and she was elderly. And we were house-sitting for a family friend of hers whose husband had just died and she was elderly. And we were house-sitting for her and keeping her house clean, etc. And we'd had an argument about something and my friend was in a house and we were doing angry cleaning. This was at 20 years old.

And she started to vacuum out the inside of the dirt cage of her beloved canary. Okay, I know where this is going. Well, we were kind of at a tiff with each other. I was like, that's a really bad idea. And she was like, what? And I was like, oh, you know, I put my hands up. And next thing, you hear the sound.

I don't even know how to do that sound. And I was just like, oh my God. Yeah, that sound of the canary. Did the bird ting up the tube? Yeah. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. And then you look at the Dyson and it's cyclonic and the bird's like, ow, whoa, whoa.

Yeah, and, yeah, the bird did not survive. Oh, my. So she lost a husband and a budgie. That's right. Yeah, and to make it even better, I can only tell this story because my friend's in Canada because she still to this day, this is 20 years later, she can't talk about it.

Oh, wow. And you just looked at her. You didn't need to say, I told you so. Yeah. Yeah. And we went to the pet shop with the body of the canary to try and replace the canary. They look the same.

Amazing. Hey, Tamara, thanks for your call. We asked on Instagram, here are some of the responses. My partner made four buns for lunch. And I said, you won't eat all those. He said, I will, so I'm starving. He ate two and then was full. Didn't need to say, I told you so.

The brother moved to Auckland and I said, you won't last a month. Three days later, he moved back. Couldn't resist it. I ain't decided to do that. CDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

I don't know, you're... Kay that I'm thinking of is a great woman. Same. Yeah, she's a great woman. Everyone knows a good Kay. Do we all know a good Kay? Yeah. Yeah, now we know your mum too.

Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. Well, see, Kay, I'm thinking obviously she's married to a Murray. Oh, right. Okay, well, Nikki, it's a bonus round. If Vaughn can guess your dad's name, one guess, one guess only, no questions, you get an extra $100 cash. Vaughn. One guess only. No questions. You get an extra $100 cash. Vaughan.

Robert. Rob. Kay and Rob. Oh, Kay and Rob. Kay and Rob. Kay and Rob. Caught up with Kay and Rob at the weekend. Yeah.

Oh, how are they? Oh, she cooked us chicken stir fry. I tell you that much. And afterwards, we had a bloody Captain Morgans. Captain Morgans with, of course, sugar-free. Yeah. Sugar-free. Okay, one guess.

Rob's good. I kind of can't shake Murray, so I think it might be like a Mike or a Matt. Matt. Matt and Kay. Now, Matt's too young. Too young, yeah. Mike. Might be a Mike and Kay or a Grant and Kay. Grant. Grant. Oh, okay. Now, Matt's too young. Too young, yeah. Mike. Might be a Mike and Kay.

Or a Grant and Kay. Grant. Grant. Oh, okay. Grant's spot into my head. Where did Grant come from? I don't know where Grant came from. Grunter.

Grant. Probably calls him Grunter. Grunter. When you're home for dinner, Grunter, the chicken stir fry's almost done. You know I don't like to overcook it. Although that's something a mum would never say, because mums famously love to overcook things. There was a chuckle from Nicky. Really?

From a grunter? Are you going to lock in grunter? Are you going to lock in grunter? Grant? Nikki, what is your dad's name? My dad's name is Vernon. Vernon!

Oh, you would never have gone there. Never in a million years. No, I wouldn't have gone Vernon. I was miles away from V. Hey, well, Nikki, it's not grunter, but you do have got Vernon. I was miles away from V. Hey, well, Nikki, it's not grunter, but you do have $100. Yay, thank you so much.

And yeah, thanks to mum for having me. And Verns. Vernon and Vorno. Send our regards to Kay and Vernon. Kay and Vernon. Kay and Verns. Any happy stir fries.

May they have many happy stir fries together. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. This debate started with a TikTok that's gone viral. Unpopular wedding opinions. Cash bars. Let me get this right. You invited me to a wedding and you want me to pay for my own drinks? How about hell no.

If you can't afford to serve at least beer and wine, don't have a wedding. Elope. Having a cash bar is as tacky as a guest bringing you a toaster. So going to a wedding and having to bring cash to pay for your alcohol. Is that a cash bar? Is that a not? Okay.

It's just what it's called, right? It doesn't have to be in cash because that's a double inconvenience. I'm paying for drinks and I have to take cash. Yeah, I'd imagine they'd be F-poss. Right. But you've still got to pay for your drinks. Paywave? You know paywave is an extra fee for the retailer. I don't want to put it in my pin every time.

What is the difference between going to, I know a wedding is like more inconvenient sometimes to get to and stuff, but like if you're going to say a big birthday, you know, at a bar or something, if you're going to say a big birthday, you know, at a bar or something, you wouldn't expect the person throwing

the birthday to pay for everyone's drinks. Yeah, but why is it that we expect a wedding to be fully free booze? Because it's

been like that in the past. Yeah, right. But I, that's a good point actually. I never thought about that because you do go to like, you go to celebrations

and you would pay for your own alcohol. You wouldn't expect them to pay for everyone's drinks. Wow. Speak your mind, Vaughn. I pay for everybody's drinks. Everybody else should have to do what I do. As someone who's had two weddings, I've paid for everyone's drinks twice. Yeah.

Yeah. Just don't invite me if you want me to pay. I need alcohol to function at social events. But that's what people are saying is that a wedding, they're paying for transport too. Then they might have to fly or drive to your wedding. They might have to buy or rent a dress or a suit. There's accommodation to pay for if they're out of town.

So they're putting all this money in and you can't even give them some free drinks. That's kind of like one way people are looking at it. But then like, don't come. If you're going to begrudge your friends that much about watching them celebrate their love, then don't come. Have you ever been to a wedding that's had a cash bar?

Yeah. I wouldn't mind. No? Really? I didn't do it either time, but I didn't mind so much. You're not like a mammoth drinker. I'd have a couple of wines. It's about a wedding as soon as the ceremony's done.

There's a platter going around with champers on it, and you're like, oh, let's get silly, and then you're real drunk and it's only 5 o'clock. You're like, I'm going to be in bed before midnight. This is like everything it should be. No, I don't want to make

a dick of myself in front of other people's relatives. I just find that you've just got to get through. It's so boring, most of it. They're quite long.

So if you booze, it goes a lot faster. For someone who hates weddings, you go to a few. I know. And they're running at a 50% divorce rate as well. Sorry. It's a success. You're half of that divorce rate. Yeah, you are. I'm. And they're running at a 50% divorce rate as well. Sorry. That's a success.

You're half of that divorce rate. I'm adding to that statistic. Yeah, you are. So we asked on Instagram, we ran a poll and thousands of votes. So this is, and it's quite 50-50. Well, 52% of people, to be exact, say cash bars at weddings are fine. Whereas the other 48%

say no, tacky, or not on. Yeah, see, I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, I mean, it's not the end of the world. I would want to know it's a cash bar. Yeah, absolutely. Because if I got to a wedding and didn't know. 100% you've got to have the heads up. Yeah, I've missed a chance to preload or just sneak a little flask of carubarine.

Yes. And then you adjust their wedding gift, right? Accordingly. Yes. What, so they get less? Yeah. Right, okay. So we have had some text messages even since we started talking about it.

Okay. Birthdays every year, a wedding should ideally be only once, really. So, yeah. Yeah, Megan. I feel your judgment. Some of us practice and then get it right. Make perfect. Yeah. Irish weddings in Ireland, you have to pay for your judgment. Some of us practice and then get it right. Make perfect. Irish weddings in Ireland, you have to pay for your drinks.

It's just what's done there. Yeah, but Irish, I mean, it's stereotypical, isn't it? They can drink a lot. Yeah, they bankrupt you. But then like Kiwis, they drink a lot. Went to a wedding and had to BYO. Now, BYO is better than cash bar because you can take what you want, drink a whole bottle. But

they wanted cash for a gift and it was in stinking Waikuku. That's their words, not mine. I've got nothing against the great onion growing capital that is Waikuku. Great onion there. Went to a wedding with a cash bar last year. It was a drivable destination wedding and the

couple paid for everybody's accommodation so then I was more than happy to pay for the drinks that's fine if you're paying for the accommodation yeah if they're giving you something there

yeah one thing I've come across a lot is that the bar is being subsidised so it might be a cash bar but the drink only might cost like around two to five dollars oh that's good

but not cocktails because I put money on the tab no not cocktails yeah they do beer I mean I'm a beer and wine guy. Yeah. I'm not expecting top shelf or anything at weddings. Yeah.

But I, yeah, I think beer and wine. I mean, after my first wedding where people were having a vom in the garden during the speeches. Yeah, vom. Looking at your table. I didn't vom in the garden. I vommed on the wall time. It was your table. It was our table.

But it wasn't us. But you chose to sit them with us. That's on you. I did question the free drinks the second round. We behaved ourselves. It was our table, but it wasn't us. But you chose to sit them with us. That's on you. I did question the free drinks the second round. We behaved ourselves. That would be a good, yeah, if you knew you were having, like, people there who are massive drinkers make it a cash bar.

Our wedding, we did BYO booze. It was a camo wedding. So I'm assuming everyone's in camouflage. But how did you see everybody? Well, you didn't. The wedding photos are absolutely, It's like a magic eye. You're going to change your depth of focus to see the bride. My wife and I supplied all the food.

Crayfish, venison, blue cod, lamb, pork. So they did all right. Yeah. That's cool. So that was supplied like an insane amount of food. Camo, sounds like they're hunters. Sounds like they're hunting together all their food. And BYO, again, I've got no problem with a BYO.

I'll grab a bottle of whiskey on the way to a... I was thinking a bottle of wine, but okay. How long were we there for? All day. So two bottles of whiskey. And I better grab a bottle of wine just in case. I'd probably BYO some snacks too if I was taking a couple of bottles of... I wouldn't if there was all that food there.

I would literally sit at the food table. That's not where the guests table. I'd be like, that's not where the guest set up. I'd be like, where this guest sits. Third wedding, I'm doing a cash bar. 100%.

Let's be honest, third wedding, you'll just go into the office and getting it done in the office. Birthday marriages in front of the pergola with the fake greens on it.

CDM's Fletchborn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about when rock and roll went to the Olympics. What? Fact of the day

during the Olympics run. It's about the Lithuanian basketball team, who in 1992 won bronze at the Olympics. And to be honest, this has all the hallmarks of a movie in a kin of Cool Runnings. Yeah, right. Oh, I love Cool Runnings. You know, a little bit of a fish out of water.

Not that no one had ever heard of Lithuanians playing basketball. They were actually a very good basketball country. They won the European League in the lead up to the 1992 Olympics. I think it was all the leakage from Chernobyl made them quite tall. Very long. Very long people. Very long, very stretched out Lithuanians. However, financially strapped meant they could not get to the Seoul Olympics.

Okay. They were not favourites to even place, However, financially strapped meant they could not get to the Seoul Olympics. Okay. They were not favourites to even place, but favourites enough that they had qualified to go to the Olympics. But due to financial restraint, they weren't going to be able to go to the Olympics until band The Grateful Dead stepped in. You may have heard of The Grateful Dead, but not actually heard any of their music.

If your dad has a photo of him like the 70s that he'll like occasionally pull out to show you how cool he was and he had a big handlebar mustache and a tie-dye t-shirt and one of those real big swapper bottles. Yeah. He knows who the Grateful Dead is.

Okay. But the band heard of Lithuania's basketball team's plight and decided to fully sponsor the team on one condition. Their uniform for the games was completely tie-dye. And Lithuania said, absurd, bloody lootly. And oopsie, spinning it around to show you the photo of them accepting their bronze medals

at the 1992 Olympic Games in full tie-dye. It's kind of come back in fashion too, the old tie-dye, in the last year or two. Some of those have an unfortunate tie-dye pattern on their crotch. Yeah, it looks like they weed themselves wearing hyper-coloured T-shirts. Because when you do a tie-dye, I've never done it. I've seen it done. You bunch it up and you rubber band or tie it really tight right

and dip it into different. Yeah. And then when it opens, it's like a big. Yeah, so it seems they may have put the initial rubber band right on the crotch and then folded it up rather than doing it on the side or something.

It was so successful that the following games in 1996 in Atlanta, Lithuania went on to get bronze again and then again in Sydney in the year 2000. And in 1996,

they again wore the tie-dye track suits this time. In honour of the people that made it possible for them to go to the Olympics the time before. Are they still wearing tie-dyed now? No.

And apparently it made tie-dye sales go absolutely through the roof at the 92 Barcelona Games. Oh, yeah. Because you could buy your team's uniform when you were there supporting your country. And Lithuania couldn't keep up with how many people wanted the tie-dye. And it may, there are people who think,

it may have restarted the tie-dye fashion of the early 90s. Oh, wow. Because it was televised so much on the Olympic Games that everybody watched. So today's fact of the day is that the Grateful Dead once helped Lithuania win a bronze medal at the Olympic Games and all they had to do was wear a tie-dye t-shirt. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Can I just say quickly, someone's just messaged in on the motorway.

And before when we were playing, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Yeah. Kay was the mum. Vernon was the dad. Yeah. They just said, they just missed that on the photo of the number plate that said Kay, but they're driving beside Vernon Logistics Transport. They're freaking out.

They're freaking out. They're freaking out. They think that it's a simulation or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know.

They just said they're freaking out. I don't want to put it in their minds. Yeah, it's just coincidence. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Coincidences can be scary, but don't be freaked out by it. In Australia, a mother's been fined $50 because her child, her two-year-old son, did a wee in the ball pit. Can you legally do that?

Wee in the ball pit? I know you can wee in a ball pit. You mean charging him to clean? Yeah. Can you enforce that? Apparently, they showed her their terms and conditions, but flashed them up real quickly and said, see it's his hair, and then put them down.

She said she's since looked at their terms and conditions on the website and can't see it replicated there. Right. But she's also of the opinion it wasn't in the ball pit, it was by the ball pit. But they said they found weeds in the ball pit, and they can't pin it on anybody else, so this two-year-old's getting stung.

They also said this kid's weed in lots of places in this cafe. So she's a regular. This kid's very at home there. Right. But they said usually it's very simple in the cafe because it's a concrete floor. So they just. Right. Done.

But the ball pit's obviously slightly more problematic. Is it not wearing nappies? Or does it seep out? It's not wearing nappies. Two years old. May think it's beyond nappies. May have not wearing nappies? Or does it seep out? Is it not wearing nappies? Two years old, may think it's beyond nappies, may have taken the nappies off. It doesn't sound like it. Toilet training.

Maybe, yeah, toilet training's not going fantastic. Oh, this is why, yuck, ball pits. I remember. Ball pits are so gross. That's why fast food places got rid of ball pit playgrounds. Yeah, because they were grim. 100%. Look, I can remember

like pretty much emptying we'd go there maybe sort of pushing the limit on how old you can be when you're in there because it was like no one over 12. And you were like 16.

And a 13 year old man was like give me a break. Yeah. Give me a damned break. And we'd empty them out and you'd always find like coins and stuff at the bottom.

Oh, okay. And any liquid down there we just assumed was water. Soft drink. But now thinking liquid down there we just assumed was water. Soft drink. But now thinking about it, yeah, it wasn't, was it? It's wheeze.

It might have been wheeze. Might have been wheeze in the ball pit. That's the thing. How can you pin that on one kid? There's probably like, I mean... Well, the problem is he admitted to it. Like the mum was wiping up the area when somebody else came in and said,

oh, what's happened here? And she said, oh, he's just had a wee accident. Oh, yeah. But I've wiped it all up. And they said, oh, there looks to here? And she said, oh, he's just had a wee accident. Oh, yeah. But I've wiped it all up. And they said, oh, there looks to be a dribble from here into the ball pit.

And then some other kid was like, there's weas in here. There's weas in here too. That is so grim. Yeah, it's, COVID sure changed my approach to those like soft places. You know, like the foam,

everything's covered in foam. They call them soft play. Yeah, right. Everything's covered in foam so kids can't get like a bar to the face and bleed profusely. But there's a lot of dribbling and a lot of touching. Everybody's touching everything.

Yeah. Yeah. If you were like, give yourself a dip in the dead hole before you go in and when you come out, maybe. But yeah. Anyway, this kid's waiting up. Mum's had to pay a $50 fine. She's not happy.

No one tell Bashan that ball pits exist because he's not going in one. Ever. You're going to deprive your kid of all the fun stuff because you don't want him being gross. Yeah. Makes sense.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. This has blown up after a comedian by the name of Tanya Hennessy. She posted this on Facebook and lots of responses, thousands of responses

from florists. The question was, what is the craziest thing you've seen or written on a card from florists. The question was, what is the craziest thing you've seen or written on a card from florists? Oh. I always think about this. Because I was right,

get them to write silly things. But it's always like silly things. Yeah. Like cutesy silly things. Yeah. Yeah, right. Sometimes you're typing and you're like, someone's going to have to read this.

But like, when you said it, then I automatically thought of like... Cheaters. Yeah. Yeah. What do cheaters write on their cards when they send their cheaters,

when they're cheatees? Well, it's more the fact that they ring up and often send two lots of flowers. So let me read you through some of these. What at once? Money bags? One said, I hate to send I love you cards to both wife and mistress in the same order.

My husband sent me flowers once and the card said, I love you, that's all. Because the florist said, would you like anything else? And he said, that's all. So she wrote, I love you, that's all. I had a trainee, a junior trainee that thought LOL only meant laugh out loud.

Does to us. But you know how parents sometimes think it means lots of love. So thank goodness she checked the messages because they said, Dear Mary, so sorry to learn of the loss of your husband, Barry. Laugh out loud. Your friend's at work. Another one, Dear Baby Daddy, I'm keeping the baby and I don't want this to be a secret anymore.

It was a single red rose delivered and the wife answered the door. Oh. Yes, I'd be all about it. I'd be like, I'll do this delivery. Yeah. This one, I had one where a woman called me begging to tell her who the flowers were from because if she took them home and they weren't from her husband, he'd find out she was having an affair.

But if they were from him and she didn't thank him, he'd find out she was having an affair. But if they were from him and she didn't thank him, he'd work out she was having an affair. So she's like, who are these flowers from? The husband or the guy? Do you understand? Yes. Yeah. Wow.

They must happen all the time. Someone said, I received flowers on behalf of my mum at her funeral. The cards said, get well soon. Just all they've got there is a timing issue. Yeah. Yeah. Great intent, slight timing issue. Someone said they mixed up the flowers

between someone whose mother had died and a wedding anniversary. So the bereaved got congratulations and the anniversary got deeper sympathy. The company didn't live that down for a while. More cheating stories, though. That must have been all the time. Who's got the gumption to turn up and be like, okay, two bunches.

Some people must. They best be the same size. Because imagine if you're like, I'll just get the wife just like that smaller one and then get the mistress that big bunch. That's not what Alan Rickman did in love, actually. Remember, he bought the jewellery. He bought the jewellery. Yeah.

He gave the mistress the good stuff. Yeah, he gave the mistress the next one. Well, you've got to impress the mistress. The wife's already there, isn't she? Legally. Legally, yeah. ZM's Fleshworn and Megan.
