Dry socks I can do But I'm going to need them back because I've become quite fond of my socks. Today on the show, last day of Freeride with the movie Free Guy. So 8 o'clock, a chance for you to get your boring mundane bills paid off. Just got to get through when you hit the activator. Georgia with a chance at midday and Brianne Clint this afternoon at 5 o'clock. The last day for that. The top six is coming up soon.

Yeah, the top six other things smartwatches should be able to do. Apparently, the next Apple Watch will be great for tracking your ovulation. Really? Oh, if you're trying for a baby. So it'll be like, beep, beep, beep, beep. And you look down a little bit like, get down on it, get down on it, get down on it. Yeah, right. If that's the chosen song.

That's quite sexy, isn't it? Beep, beep, beep, beep. Okay, quick. Nothing like your watch telling you to do it. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Scheduled romance now happening. Alright, five past six. Next on the show. Those lights in your house can go different colours. Very expensive. The Philips Hue's.

Yeah, they can also do something else now. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. You know Philips Hue lights? The... What do they call them? Smart bulbs? Is that the official term for this? So they're a big booty bulb, but they've got a Wi-Fi in them.

Yeah, and they've got LEDs in them, and they should last forever. And they can change colours. Yeah. Oh, God, that's... I don't... There's an app, and you can program it, and you can have like, this one's the lounge one, this one.

And someone told me they also create like a web of Wi-Fi. So it's like a Wi-Fi extender as well. Oh, okay. Because they connect to your Wi-Fi. Like a mesh. Like a mesh. Right, wow. Of Wi-Fi throughout your house.

Just me or I don't know if it's because I see so many people's apartments in the city, but I just find multicoloured LEDs in people's apartments so tacky. When someone's got a purple and then they've got a green in one room and I'm like... I was just trying to think of what colour I would set it on and I can't really settle on one. Do like a light blue or something for the whole house. Don't do multicolours. Maybe that's why in apartments though you see one person's red and then next door is a person

Who doesn't even know that their neighbour has red And they're like Purple And green's on the other side It's just so tacky Don't you think? Yeah I would have them on white

99% of the time But I love that Somebody had it set up So they could be like Alexa, sound the alarm And their lights would flash red and blue and it would be like on all the Alexa units Then you could play that Nicki Minaj song.

And that's how they knew they would tell their kids that it was dinner time. Oh my god, amazing. See, I want it just for that. And you can do all those sorts of things. You could be like, Alexa, set the mood because it connects to your It can go red or purple, whatever you've set it to.

And then you could also tell Alexa to turn off your lights, right? Yeah, you could be like, Alexa, kitchen light's on. And it would turn the lights on before you got there. So the monsters would go away before you got to the kitchen. Yeah, because they don't like light. No, they can't. They can't stand light. Yeah.

Especially LED light. Yeah. But now, God, we haven't even got... We've got excited about these. Because that's the thing. Every time I see them, I'm like, okay. And in my head, I run through even got it. We've got excited about these. Because that's the thing. Every time I see them, I'm like, okay. And in my head, I run through how many light bulbs we've got in our house. I'm like, it would cost me thousands of dollars.

I've got two. But they're just in the box at home. Because I got them when some power company gave them to me. I remember when a power company was giving them away. One bulb is $38. A Philips Hue LED smart bulb, $9.38. Do you have to buy a base? You've got to buy a base.

So a base kit, Mighty Ape have one for $299, and that gives you three bulbs and the little routery base kit. So $300 for three bulbs and a base kit. So I've done my lounge. Yeah. Now I've got the kitchen. Yeah, there's lots of lights and different sorts of lights as well.

I don't know if it's... Yeah, see, I've got the ones that are set into the ceiling. So I couldn't do these. Yeah. But I also am like, you know, two steps away from a light switch at any time. Yes. So I don't see the point of having an automated home.

Well, yes, but this is something that your current light bulbs can't do. Okay. The next update will have a music sync option that works with Spotify. Now, apparently it's had a music sync option where you could be like, you'd say the genre and it would go to certain colors. Or it might be able to, you know, if you pre-programmed it at how many beats per minute the song is, it might be able to, you know, if you pre programmed it and how many beats per minute the song is, it might be able to do it. But this one, well, you

won't need to do that. It will read it. Okay. From Spotify and the lights will... So you could have a disco at your house and the lights will be in time to the song that's on Spotify. Wow. Okay.

Fletch is not impressed. No, I'm just thinking like, I couldn't do this and I'd have to buy lamps. Because all my bulbs are... You've got downlights with those lights. Yeah, I've got wall lights down with the downlights and then I've got ones in the ceiling. So literally, I don't have a single light bulb fitting

that could take one of these. Sorry to hear that. Maybe if you get a Christmas tree and just get an attrition to put E27 screw bayonets on it. Yes. That sounds great. Yeah.

And you can have a dance and Christmas tree, which is what you can get from an ordinary Christmas tree. So again, a waste of money. But yeah, you're going to be able to have a disco in your house where the lights go in time to the music all by themselves. Wow. That's good stuff. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.

A woman has been arrested, a 24-year-old woman. She went on holiday to Hawaii, but you're supposed to have a vaccination card. You have to prove that you're vaccinated to avoid the quarantine. They've done pretty well in the whole pandemic. Haven't they, Hawaii? Yeah, I guess being an island. They apparently did really well.

And then when it opened up, they felt that they weren't vaccinated or prepared as well as mainland the U.S. had been. And then everybody went to Hawaii for a holiday and dragged in a whole lot of native Hawaiians. Then was struck with COVID. And they were like a higher risk. Yeah, right. At higher risk, yeah. So if you travel to Hawaii, you have to do 10-day quarantine.

It's mandatory. Unless you can produce a vaccination card. So this woman, she didn't want to do the 10-day quarantine. And she forged her own vaccination card. Because people have been caught selling these. There was another story a couple of days ago of a woman caught selling them. Who raised these people? I know, right?

Who raised these people that, can you imagine? My mum would have been, stop being so selfish. I don't know. It blows my mind. Yeah, it is America, right? America is screwed. Yeah. So, I mean, there's stuff on there that you can't really forge,

like the lot number, but she's made it kind of like... Well, why can't you forge that? Well, because like... They don't know. At the airport, they don't know what lot number is. Make up a lot number. Lot 14782. Done.

No, but it's supposed to have letters already. We'll just... We're only up to lot four. I don't know why you went for thousands. Everybody shares theirs online, right? You just copy somebody else's. Oh, dodgy. So it wasn't the lot number that got her called out. It was the spelling

of Moderna, which is the vaccine that she got. Yeah. Well, she says she got. Yeah. Moderna. M-O-Derna is how you spell it. She spelt it Moderna. With an A.

Moderna. Moderna. And they were like, I'm not sure that someone who was giving that vaccination would have spelt it like that. So they got in contact because she actually made it to Hawaii. Oh, wow. Okay. spelt it like that. So they got in contact because she actually made it to Hawaii. Oh, wow. She got in contact or the people in Hawaii

got in contact with Delaware where she said she got the vaccine. They said, no, she's not on our records here. Yes.

She was not counting on people doing their background research. Yes. And she was held in custody on 2000 bail and then she got bailed out

but she is going to appear in court. Wow. And I'm guessing no holiday. No holiday. She'll get turned back around. Nah, she didn't get a holiday in Hawaii. Good.

Suck it. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. In the next few weeks, the seventh version of the Apple Watch is going to be revealed by Apple and they have said it won't be this one is going to be revealed by Apple.

And they have said it won't be this one, but it might be the next one. Might have a blood pressure sensor. Okay. Which is very interesting. And also a thermometer. And those two things combined, Captain Planet, will help with fertility planning. Oh, okay. Apparently also measure the speed of a wave of a heartbeat that goes through the arteries using sensors.

So not just how many beats, but the speed of the heartbeat. Which I don't know what that would. Would that be another fertility thing? Or is that just something else that they've whacked into this health update? I don't know. Yeah, maybe it is. What is the speed of a wave? Because temperature is. Yeah, because it goes up, maybe it is. What is the speed of a wave? So what your watch...

Because temperature is... Yeah, because it goes up, right? Yeah. So your watch could be like, okay, now's the perfect time to make a bear bear. Yeah. You're like, quick, Gareth, meet me at home in 10. Get me done, Gareth.

Quick, quick, the window is closing. I can't find what that pulse wave analysis methods. It's a thing, but I don't know what it means. This forces blood into the ventricles. The SA node sets the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat. Maybe that changes when you ovulate. Maybe. So they're saying that that will be worked in.

I've got the top six other things that maybe we could work in. Okay. To smart watches. Number six, count how many chips you ate. No. Like steps, except guilt. No, thank you. It's like when you're walking.

I walk home and my watch is like, bling, are you walking outside? Would you like to record an outdoor walk? Yeah, it'd be like you're eating a bag of chips. It's like, bling, are you eating chips? You're like, leave me alone, watch. You're eating chips again. Are you okay? Number five on the list of the top six things

other smartwatches should be able to do by now. Know what you feel like for dinner before you do. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's been around. It's been around. Yeah, it's been around. It's like, it's been a while since you've eaten in the form of tacos.

Like, yes, watch. Which you're right. And the watch knows because it's upside down. Oh, yeah, yeah. It does that action. Forcing it. I think you've been doing something else. Yeah, it could.

It could definitely. Are you, would you like to record eating tacos? You're like, not now, watch. I'm in the middle of something. Number four on the list of the top six other things smartwatches should be able to do by now. I'll warn you when someone you want to avoid is in the area. Oh, yes. Yeah, that'd be good.

Oh, my God. They're in your proximity. No, but they have to have a smartwatch, right? Yeah, or their phone. I couldn't warn you when I'm around the corner. It would be like find friends, but dodge enemies. Yeah. That'd be a good idea.

That's so good. Work on that. Dodger X. Yeah, X Dodger. Oh, my God. Number three on the list of the top six other things smartwatches should be able to do by now are be a taser. Like if you're walking and you don't feel safe and you turn around and you're like,

hey, Siri, tase. Yeah. I reckon that would accidentally electrocute you though. Yeah. Oh, no, you'd have to, because you know when you put, you won't know this Megan, but let me tell you from up in my ivory top, when you first get your Apple watch and you put it on, you have to say what arm you have it on. Right.

Because I've got it set for right wrist. Right. Dial back. But you can have it anyway, but you've just got to set it the right way, otherwise it'll be upside down. So you'd really need to set which way your watch was, because if you went tase and it shot you in the face, it'd be one of those days where Siri's like,

ding, sorry, what did you say? You're like, I didn't quite get that. Just a minute. You're like, come on, tase him, tase him, tase him. Number two on the list of the top six other things smartwatches should be able to do by now, a bad breath tester. Oh, yeah, good.

So you're like, how's my breath? And it's like, ooh, damn, son. Damn. You need one of those Eclipse strips. You need a mint. Yeah. Do you remember those little plastic strips? Yeah.

Let's talk about them recently. They were Listerine strips. They were Listerine strips. Yeah. And you popped it on your tongue and you were like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It dissolved, but it burned. Yeah. Yeah. Do you popped it on your tongue and you were like... It was just a little bit of bird. Yeah.

Yeah. Do they still have them? Don't know. I thought they were Eclipse did them as well. Maybe. I was just thinking those little Listerine pocket packs. Yeah. Yeah, they still do them.

Yeah, they do. Yeah, the Listerine pocket packs, fresh burst strips. I might do that, but just for me, because wearing a mask in the supermarket, you're ever aware that you've had three coffees in the morning. Yeah, I ate Doritos. Sweet chili. Sweet Thai chili Doritos. And put a mask on, and I was like, Jesus.

I was like, that's confronting. Pungent. And number one on the list of the top six other things smartwatches should be able to do by now, be car keys. Oh, yeah. For like those cars that are like, oh, yeah, your keys are in the car, which are bad because my wife just leaves the keys in the car the whole time. I'm like, you know, that means somebody could just walk straight into our place and steal our car.

And she's like, they wouldn't. I was like, oh, yeah, no, they wouldn't. Of course not. That's not how criminals work. Yeah. If you have a Tesla, it is. So I think it's less about the watch and more about the car. If you've got a Tesla, is your watch a key?

Yeah, your phone. So I mean, your watch is the same. Yeah, they're working on your phone being the car key. Yeah. Can we, like, backstab it so it works in my 1967 Land Rover? It's never going to work in that or your Honda Accord either. Oh, guys, that makes me sad. That's today's top six.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. This was on a news website under national crime stories. Okay. Skateboarders steal KFC at drive-thru. I love that this is under crime. Yeah. Well, it's about as crimey as it's getting at the moment. Oh, no, it's pretty crimey out there.

Well, that person escaped from MIQ yesterday. That was crimey. That was crimey. That was crimey as it's getting at the moment. Oh no, it's pretty crimey out there. Well, that person escaped from MIQ yesterday. That was crimey. That was crimey. That was crimey and COVID. That would be a double whammy that could go into both of the headlines. So, Queenstown opened level three. Not opened, but level three in Queenstown. Well, that's right in the

middle of town. Yeah. It is that KFC, right? I'm sure there's no other KFCs in Queenstown. No, there's not another one. Yeah. It is that KFC, right? Are you sure there's no other KFCs in Queensland? No, there's not another one. Yeah, so some people were going through the drive-thru. They were waiting for their approximately $90 worth of KFC.

So they hit level three. They probably just wanted to get a couple of bits for tomorrow. $90? Thank you so much. As soon as the order was placed, a couple of teenagers snaked through on their skateboards between the car and the window and grabbed it

as it came out the window and snaffled it. But because traffic was so good, busy, sorry, bad, they couldn't give chase to them. But where would they have gone? They headed towards the rugby grounds. I was going to say,

a little park. But that's just right. That's just getting out of their drive-thru and just heading right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of things down there. Oh, my God. That's so cheeky. They were yet to be identified, but they were reviewing security footage.

What time was this? Because, yeah, when it gets to, like, 5 o'clock, there's a real snaking of cars. 8.30 p.m. on a Wednesday. Oh, okay, right. And you've got the cover of Darkness here as well. Yeah. That's a late dinner. Cheeky shit.

Cheeky little shit. And did they end up giving them more? Oh, there's no word on it, but surely. Surely. Because technically they got it before

they delivered it to them, right? Yeah. So there was that. Also, those KFC thieves breached two people's bubbles. Oh, yeah, they did. Yeah. Because the car people had their windows down and they were right there.

And the KFC people had the window open, so they were right there. Is that what made it easier? Maybe the distancing? Maybe. Because were they actually passing? Yeah, maybe they had to pass it to them. Longer to pass. The police said they also issued an infringement notice for a man paddleboarding across Lake Wakatipu,

but that's just because paddleboarding looks dumb and they thought it was a bit of a nerdy activity more than... God, so there's a whole lot of crime going on in Queensland at the moment. Oh, yeah, top-notch crime. They're really missing those Australian tourists, aren't they? Yeah. Now they know real drunken crime. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.

I see this guy made $3,000, this is New Zealand dollars, in a week doing this on TikTok. However, that was his first week and he's now kind of lost count of how much money he makes. Oh, I'm sorry. Imagine losing count of how much money you make. His first week. So, basically people

pay him to test their girlfriends' loyalty. Wait, he's testing girls' loyalties? I assumed. He should branch into testing guys' loyalties. He'll make more money. Yeah. Although are guys less insecure?

No, because it's guys asking. Yeah. It's guys asking. Yeah. So basically, he said this guy once DM'd me and asked me to do a loyalty test on his girlfriend. And then he made a video about it and the video blew up. And then people were like, can you do one for me? Can you do one for me?

He then said that people started offering to pay. How hot is this dude? He's pretty cute. Gotcha. So he then... That's all Megan will say in case Mr. Toyboy's listening. In case he's up listening to us when he's having an early morning workout in the Pappas Pump House. Show me a photo of this guy. So now he said, I make at least...

Oh yeah, he's right up your alley, isn't he? $200. Shut up. I make at least $200 in a day. If people ask, I say I charge $10, but most of the time people say I've got this amount of money. And then they just offer it to him. So he doesn't work.

He said I make enough money now to like not work a nine to five. So this is what he does for a job now. And so basically he'll slide into the DMs of whoever he's told to and do, hey, hard eyes emoji. And then basically they'll entertain him or they won't. He said either they'll be like, hey, I've got a boyfriend. And so he's like, yeah, you passed. Or.

Does he tell them that they passed? No, no, no, no. No, he'll just screenshot it and send it to the boyfriend. But sometimes they say, hey, I've got a boyfriend. And then he's like, I don't care. And they're like, I don't care either. It can be our little secret. And that's when he goes, screenshot, and sends it to the partner.

But is flirting with someone on TikTok in another country, is that even cheating? It doesn't feel good. No, it doesn't. Nah. So he said the most he got sent was 700. This is American dollars. 750 American dollars. He said, the most he got sent was 700. This is American dollars. 750 American dollars. He said, I guess he was rich, but his girl failed and he still sent me the money.

Wow. So he charges after or before. You pay on. I might try this. Yeah. I guess they pay once they get the result either way. Right? Because then he's done his job.

Yeah. So either... The thing is, though, like, you can see his video and you can see his handle and his name and everything. So, like, has he just... He's outed himself. Yeah. He's just outed himself as the...

Also, imagine a guy messages him saying, I need you to test my girl. Yeah. And he says, hey, heart eyes. And she says, oh, hey. And he's like, oh, do you want to exchange nerds? Obviously, I'm really good at this. You can tell by this.

I'm stuttering my way through it. And she's like, oh, no, I've got a boyfriend. He's like, okay, screen cap. Oh, she passes, sends it to the boyfriend. Then he should say to her, hey, send it to her, say, hey, your boyfriend tested you. Do you want me to test him? And then he's got an account that's just a girl's picture,

and he's like, hey, heart eyes. And then he can double dip the chip. Oh my god, double dip. I thought you were going to say, she's like, oh, I've got a boyfriend. He's like, oh yeah, all good, screenshot, send it to the boyfriend. And then continues on with the conversation. I could do that too. Oh, okay.

Send me your number. Wow. Well, there you go. If you want to make some cash in lockdown. Loyalty test on TikTok. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Old number. Wow. Well, there you go. If you want to make some cash in lockdown. Loyalty test on TikTok. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Old people. Yes. My thoughts would always have been when you retire,

you retire somewhere slow, somewhere relaxing. Yep. With a nice climate. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's why everyone goes to Florida or in America, right? Yeah. And then they get Like a retirement They live in a village

Not like a retirement home More like a village Where they've got Their own house But they've got Like communities and stuff Yeah it's nice and flat And it's warm

Yeah one level houses Yeah Because you don't want To be walking upstairs When you're old No no So I always Although

Do you guys want One of those Stair lift machines Yes Of course That go up the stairs You sit on a seat? Yeah.

Oh, my God. How cool would that be? You do that thing where you go out, you're like, left my wallet upstairs. It wouldn't be fast enough for you. No, it's not. It would be so annoying.

You'd be found dead at the bottom of the stairs because you jacked up your stairlift and it goes super fast and it throws you off your end. Or they'd find you dead halfway up the stairs and they're like, why didn't you take the chair thing? I was too slow. So he dragged himself up the stairs and he had a heart attack halfway up.

But he lost both of his legs to gangrene. Yeah, well, still, he reckons he was quicker. But apparently retiring to the city is the best idea. I've always thought retiring to the country would be dreamy. Because it's peaceful, quiet. Yeah. Retiring to the city is the best idea I've always thought retiring to the country would be Dreamy Quiet Big lovely views Do they say why in the study? Is it that there's so much going on

It keeps your brain busy And active I love Living in the city Some people are like I don't know how you can live in the city I could not live in the city So much going on but I love it I love living in the city. Some people are like, I don't know how you can live in the city. I could not live in the city. So much going on, but I love it. I love big cities.

It's like when I travel, I love going to big cities. I used to live on Queen Street in Auckland, and I loved it, but the noise. No, it wasn't living, Megan. You were in a sleeping bag outside, so pray. You located temporarily. Your credit card Debt got too much

You had to clear Your bankrupt But it was great Because I used to Throw away a lot of stuff Yeah You had so many Slogan tees

So many Like Child sized Neon green Slogan tees That is the only thing It's a noise But then depending on

Where you live You want to say At your place After a radio awards I couldn't I was just like What was that What was that What was that Oh yeah like If I live You want to stay at your place After a radio awards I couldn't get I was just like What was that What was that

What was that Oh yeah like If I go Like if I stay at yours Or stay at mum and dad's In the middle of nowhere It's so quiet I can hear

I can hear myself And I'm just like But then Does that keep you awake Yeah it does It's silent It's weird You don't have your city white noise

I love a white noise and a hum Yeah Yeah But no apparently it's just busy It keeps you going. There's things to do. You're more likely to do a range of activities rather than just what's put on your plate and you get bored with it and you stop

doing. This is great news for you because your father in law has just moved to the inner city. Oh yeah, he's going to live forever, baby. He's going to outlive all of us. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the key. So then he's yours to take care of. He actually lives so close to you now I know

He'd be like, I've got a question about my printer It won't connect I'm like, you know who would love to sell this from to you? Tech savvy and patience of a saint Especially with old people who will not listen properly Carl Fletcher Don't even think about it Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Megan

Justin Bieber, Chance the it. Play ZM's Fletch, Fawn and Megan. Justin Bieber, Chance the Rapper on ZM. Fletch, Fawn and Megan, 14 past 7. So that was better. That was a lot more palatable. I've been getting stuck on the live stream for having a louder voice than everybody else. But I'm just sorry I project. No, no, no.

I don't know if it comes across listening. It's very much in studio. Sometimes you'll start the break and I won't have my headphones on yet. When you do your time, station tag, station ID, announces his name.

It's really loud. It's like the equivalent of this. This is how we talk. You'll be like, okay, we're going on talk and you'll be like okay we're going on and then you'll be like ZM it's 17 minutes past 7 and it's not like jocky like radio jock

I'm just saying it's very the difference is very loud how many years have we been working through that and you're telling me this now because I forget about it

until we'll do a break and I won't have my headphones on at the start of it and then I'm like yeah that's a lot I must say something and then I forget it is what it is okay so deal with it no no no break and I won't have my headphones on at the start of it. And then I'm like, well, I must say something. It is what it is, okay?

Yeah. No, no, no complaints from me. Megan and I deal with your constant lateness and it is what it is. Yeah, I mean, he's saying you're loud. But you know why I'm late. I tagged you in that meme this week why I'm late. There's that meme thing and I always get tagged in it whenever it's on. It's like if you had to invite somebody

to a function and you got a million dollars if they were late, who would you invite? Yeah. Vaughn. I get tagged in it all the time. And so I tagged in Fletch

and my wife saying, see, this is why I'm late. What if it's the million dollar function? You've got to. All right. Well, the Paralympics are on Yeah baby Sophie Pascoe

Last night Yep She What Wow so close Oh Yeah no No medal

Unfortunately for the last Event for Sophie I feel like fifth Is better than fourth And because You just miss out on a medal Fourth you just miss out On a medal

Fifth you're like, oh, okay. Okay, well, you can feel that way. That's not at all how ranking works, but you're more than welcome to feel how you feel. You travelled and trained all your life to get to the Olympics and come fifth. You're stoked, Megan. I mean, it's not as if it wasn't a successful campaign for Sophie.

Exactly. It feels like, that's okay. She gives it. I mean, I'm not saying that the athletes don't all give it everything they have, but man, she gives it everything. She's vomiting. They show it afterwards. She gets out of the pool.

She blacks out. She has a vom. She gives her oxygen. Yeah. Jeez, girl. God, I don't give anything that much of it. You really don't. Mind you, if I tried to swim 50 metres, I probably would look like that.

Yeah. But I wouldn't be winning medals or setting any times. Yeah, that's for sure. All right, we've got some events happening today. 12.35, Sarah Ellington in the paracycling road race. Some more swimming. Nikita Howarth in the 50 metre butterflyre butterfly as she advances from the heats. Just before one at nine o'clock tonight,

she'll be going into the final. Parakanoeing continues. Men's KL3 semi-final for Corbin Hart. And Scott Martlew. Why did I stumble on that? Matlew. Martlew. Sorry, Scott. Your name is confusing.

Scotty. And KL2. This is a medal race at 10 minutes past 2. Oh, okay. Okay. The para-athletics. Anna Grimaldi in the long jump. This is a medal.

This is medal, by the way. Medal contention. And Holly Robinson in the javelin. That's also medals. She gets to throw a javelin today. Oh, okay. You threw a stick yesterday like it was a javelin today. Oh, okay. You threw a stick yesterday like it was a javelin?

Yeah. You've been inspired? Did it jam into the ground how it's supposed to? Nope. Landed back first. Landed ass first. That was the hardest thing

about javelin. Yeah. You think it's just going to stick in the ground like that? That ends the fatter, heavier end. Of course, I'm going to obviously

throw this so far that it'll have time to counterbalance itself and gravity will do the rest of the work. But no. Not like the John Mayer song Gravity at all. Gravity did nothing. Apart from bring the stick down arse first. Very hard to throw a javelin. So best of luck to all our competitors today.

New Zealand currently 23rd on the medal table with four golds, three silver and three bronze. A total there of? Oh, I don't know. Four plus three plus three, Megan. Seven plus ten. We got there. Yeah.

What did you add to give the first? The threes or the four and the three? The seven and the three. Yeah, I mean, that's how I did it. Good showing you're working there, guys. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. So we're in lockdown. If you're in level three, level four,

we're binging a lot of TV. And it's okay. Whatever gets you through. Go on. Have Chorus released any more stats? Because you remember at the start of lockdown, they were like, oh, guys, we nearly used all the internets. Yeah. And, like, I would hate to see what we've done in the last, like, two weeks.

The joke's going to be on all of you when the Fibre network crashes, but copper wiring is still going strong. And those of us on AD or VDSL or whatever it is. I'm on fibre and I had buffering last night. Yeah, actually, I had buffering. Excuse me. You paid for the big one. You got the fattest pipe. I've got ultra fast broadband and I had buffering the other day.

I don't know if it was that website though, but I was like, oh, this never happens. I was like, okay, New Zealand, calm down, we're watching too much. I told you you don't need to watch porn on 8K. How many times do I need to say 540 will do you fine. No. He's like no, 1080 at the end.

No. So today we're talking about guilty pleasure shows. I don't think you two would have seen many if any of these. I'll be the one to judge. Too Hot to Handle is the first one on Netflix. I have not seen any

of these shows apart from the first season of the second to last show you're going to mention today. You loved that. Did you? He loved it. At the time. Oh my god, it was so good. I think you should make it the last show on the list so that people hang around to see what show it was so good. I think you should make it the last show on the list so that people hang around to see what show Fletch loved.

I only watched like the first one or two seasons. I think we all know why. Okay, carry on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, okay, we'll get to that. So Too Hot to Handle on Netflix is two seasons now. It's about potatoes. It's about... You just got out of the oven, they's about potatoes. It's about...

You just got out of the oven, that jacket of potatoes. It's a dating show, if you didn't know. So basically they have to go on this dating show and then remain celibate. And they have a chance of winning $100,000. Yes. And then you can like really see the adult, dumb adult version of that test they do for kids

where they're like, if you don't eat that marshmallow now, I'll give you eight marshmallows later. And they're like, okay, I'm going to eat a marshmallow now. But adults, and it's not a marshmallow, it's boobies and a doodle. Not on the same person. Would you be waiting for the eight marshmallows or would you be playing with the boobies? I'd play with myself.

Like I do right now. You're not allowed to do that either. waiting for the eight marshmallows or would you be playing with the boobies? I'd play with myself. And then what? Like I do right now. You're not allowed to do that either. Oh, I'm not going on this stupid show then. No, but they don't know they're on the show

until they get there. How do they know that you're not playing with yourself? His camera's everywhere. I'm very good at playing with myself on the down low. Do they have a laundry?

I'm not above that. Too much information. I don't know. Jesus. Not recently, but God, it's Vaude Smith, guys. I'm not going without. Why is he short? Okay, so it's safe to say you won't be on Too Hot to Handle.

I don't think I'm hot enough to be on the hot part of Too Hot to Handle. I can definitely handle it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, they might do a Two Handle show. Just that. No, I'm a one-hand guy. Certainly no need for two hands. Oh, jeez.

That would only make me feel inadequate. We're only up to number one. Just one hand. Just one hand. Don't put two hands on it. I always forget that this is out. Neon has the Gossip Girl reboot. So it's eight years after the original Gossip Girl went dark

and a new generation of New York private school teenagers go under the surveillance of Gossip Girl. Right. I need to watch this. Has it aged well, Gossip Girl? Do you know there's certain ideas that were good at the time, but now like

I don't know maybe it's been changed slightly but like taking someone's private life and like putting it online is like what's that called?

Doxing and all that now it's very much frowned upon the Digital Harm Communication Act Yeah Well I mean people send it in

about other people anonymously so Right Yeah they're not getting caught. Shoreland Street is on there. So Shoreland Street is a drama. Yes, we're aware.

Shoreland Street is wild these days. If you don't watch it for a while and then you tune in for one episode, like wild stuff happens. Yeah, right. Well, you've got to keep people hooked in, don't you? I know, but it's getting like

Days of Our Lives level wild sometimes. I just saw a hen's party, a bit of a hen's party last night when my show was buffering to reset my connection. That's one of the characters and her partner, he's been cheating on her and she was just kind of turning a blind eye to it. So she knew? Yeah, but she was kind of like pretending it wasn't.

And then she told him in front of everybody that she was pregnant when she wasn't pregnant. And then so it's not going to last. Okay. And I don't watch it on stream. I've just picked that up from the trailers. Wow. That's good. Gilmore Girls.

I always say Gil's. It's on Netflix. Yeah, people's guilty pleasure. Yes. Below Deck. This was on the reality list as well. Yeah, people love that show. Yeah, it's people working on yachts.

So it's about the drama of the crew working on the yachts between them and then also the rich people that come on board the yachts and their crazy demands. Yeah. It's pretty good. That's on Bravo and on Netflix. And then New Zealand or Asia listen to the podcast. Oh, Kilda.

Hi. Hi, girl. Maybe share a link to the podcast, get our numbers up. I don't know, just to do your part. We've provided you with hours of endless entertainment on your boat there. I mean, you've done the same for everybody else, but I still feel like I've got the short end of the stick. Okay, okay.

And last on the list is the one that Fletch loved. Well, I watched the first season. No, you didn't. You said for a second. Three. How many seasons were there? Four. No, I never the first season. No, you didn't. Three. How many seasons were there? Four. No, I never watched that many.

It went on for heaps of seasons. Heaps of seasons. Desperate Housewives. Oh, yeah. When it first came out, but everybody watched it when it first came out. It was massive. What was the first season's big mystery?

A murder? And there was a fire. And they were trying to work out who. And the pirate's jug. Remember that? The narrator was murdered, right? And then Felicity Huffman went to prison. In real life.

In real life, the college scandal. Yeah. Bribing people. Terry Hatcher's been quiet lately. Well, she's not been on my radar. That was going to be the Terry Hatcher renaissance there. Okay. After she was Lois from Lois and Clark in the 90s.

Yeah, what is she doing now? I don't know. What happened to the Paul boy? Jesse Metcalf. Jesse Metcalf. Let me have a look. I mean, that's why most of us were watching it, right? Furious Googling going on here in studio.

I think his metabolism caught up with him at one stage. But we've all been there. I'll happily say I definitely am. Yeah, right. I definitely have. Oh, he was on Chesapeake Shores. Who? Jesse Metcalf.

I don't know. I've never heard of that show. He was on John Tucker Must Die, but that was 2006. So that was peak Metcalf. He's having a quiet time, isn't he? Peak Metcalf. He's 42 years old now. What?

Is he? Yep. The pool boy. Which one was he hooking up with? Terry Hatcher. No, Eva Longoria. Oh, she's doing the ads now for dyeing your own hair at home. Pool boy. Which one was he hooking up with? Terry Hatcher. No, Eva Longoria. Oh, she's doing the ads now for dyeing your own hair at home.

Have you seen the ads? She's like, I'm doing great. So it's all going well then. ZM's Flesh Worn and Megan. Clay. ZM. A lovely story from Woolworths. So this is in Australia.

But you can do it in New Zealand at the moment. If you do like the click and collect supermarket shopping. Yep. You can write a little note in the notes section after you've ordered everything. Like, I like green bananas. Yes. Yeah. Choose the really big kumara that'll be easier to peel.

Literally the only note I write in my shopping is, please get me green bananas. Really? Yeah. Well, yeah, you're right about the smooth kumara. I hadn't thought about that. I don't want to be kumara, a nightmare to peel. And there, it's, I always when I'm getting a kumara, I always give it a think in my mind, how am I going to

peel this? What's an appeal of attack? Cut it on the crease pre-peel. That's not a bad idea. And then peel. Yeah, I have cut it in half sometimes but nah, you've got to. I go for a kumara that doesn't need a peel. Maybe cut out the odd blemish, but I'll give it a scrub. Are you one of those people that will peel a bit of a potato or a kumara like 18 times just to get one little notch out?

Yeah, same. And then you've got a flat side of your spud and then you look at what you've wasted and you've wasted like a quarter of a spud. Same, yeah. Good to know I'm not alone there. I think everybody does that. Well, yeah, you can leave notes in there. I don't know why supermarkets give people the option. Just opens them up to people complaining about unnecessary stuff, right?

Yeah. So these are some of the notes that people have left for the Woolworths. In Australia, I thought this was really nice. Stay positive. Without people like you to help people put food on the table, we'd In Australia, I thought this was really nice. Stay positive. Without people like you to help people put food on the table, we'd be in trouble. You guys are heroes. Aw.

Thank you to the staff member packing our groceries. During this time, we greatly appreciate it. Hello, personal shopper. Just remember you are a human. Remember you are worthy, and we will all get out of lockdown together. Aw. Thank you for your hard work.

Keep it going. That's so nice. Thank you. You can go a long way. And you for your hard work. Keep it going. That's so nice. Thank you can go a long way. And here's one for you. You're a personal shopper. You work hard every day to handpick order online for customers and we really appreciate it. That's nice.

I feel bad for just writing green bananas. Yeah, but it's, I mean, if you look at the locations of interest, there are so many supermarkets on those lists. Yeah. And, you know, these people. Well, it's the one place people could still go in lockdown, right? Yeah. And so these people are, you know, out there working.

And, you know, they're in danger, aren't they? They are. Yeah. And people are rude to them. It's horrible. But it's good to see some niceness. Yeah. And that's what we want to know this morning.

Like customers, we hear the bad stories about customers, but what about the good stories? What about the nice things that customers have done? The good customers. Yeah, I wonder if you're going to be... Celebrate the good. I wonder if we're going to be struggling here. Because people generally, when dealing with retail

or any kind of customer service, are assholes. Hospitality. Yeah. Et cetera. When you were running the cafe, I remember you saying you had some, like, favourites, some nice customers. I just think, like, if you're there for long enough, you're going to When you were running the cafe, I remember you saying you had some like favorites, some nice customers. I just think like if you're there for long enough,

you're going to get the good and the bad, right? And we had some really lovely people. So when I got pregnant, I had multiple people brought in knitting, like knitted stuff for little B. And then like came in and said, what color would you like? And knitted things specially for him.

We got, like, little notes left on tables. People would write things on napkins and leave them on the table. Oh, like their number for Andrew when you were there. Oh, no, that's right. He told me that happened when you were there. He only messaged the whole month back. So we want to hear this morning. We want to hear from you this morning.

Oh, 800. Megan just snatched at their phone. You take care of this fletch. I've got a couple of very angry messages to send. 0800 dials at M. We want you to give us a call now. You can text as well, 9696. When were customers good people?

What did they do? What were nice things that you've experienced in your line of work when dealing with customers? Well, supermarket workers that are packing click-and-click deliveries are receiving lovely notes from the public. Yeah. All is not lost in humanity, guys. People are so nice out there. Yeah, so we want to know, like, we want to talk about the good side of customers.

Yeah, the time when customers were nice. Sean, what happened? Yeah, just before lockdown, I do marketing event hire, and we're setting up for our wedding, and we first arrive, we get this amazing coffee, and we're like, oh, this is a good start to the day. And then when we get to lunchtime, we have this amazing spread, like everything you can think of, ham, beef, rolls.

Oh, my God. It warms your heart. It was a bit of a wet and cold day, but it was amazing. And they just put on lunch for you and you didn't expect that? No, I didn't expect it at all. So we always appreciate that

because, you know, you're actually not stressed at all with some people. Do you think it's a thing of a bygone era? Because I always remember my Nana saying, like, if you've got anybody at your place and it's a meal time, you've got to feed them. Yeah, but then you don't know if your tradie could be a vegan and then all like, if you've got anybody at your place and it's a meal time, you've got to feed them.

Yeah, but then you don't know if your tradie could be a vegan. And then all of a sudden you've offended them with some shaved ham. If he was, he'd be fired. If my tradie doesn't turn up in the morning with a pie and a large energy drink, I'm sending them away. Yeah, our company policy is you can't say no. So, you know, you get off a beer at the end of the day, you can't say no. You know, a good coffee works out well. Oh, nice. Good to hear, Sean. So, you know, you get off a beer at the end of the day, you can't say no. Boy, you know, you go for coffee.

It works out well. Oh, nice. Great. Good to hear, Sean. Thanks, you're cool. Some messages in. When were the customers actually nice?

When I was working at a supermarket at the Lotto store, I sold a customer a $1 scratcher. She scratched it then and there, checked it, and she won the top prize,

$10,000. What? She came back a week later and gifted me a card with a $50 shopping voucher in it. She absolutely didn't need to. Yeah, because that was your job. Yeah.

It's lovely though. But you probably owed them that $50 if you said something punishing like, I hope it's the winning ticket. Oh yeah, the customer owed them. Yeah, yeah. Is this the winning one? And then they scratch it.

It is the winning one. Do you have some sort of magic powers? Are you a genie? Hannah said, when I worked on a check a checkout, I was leaving to start a new job and word got round and a number of my regular customers all got me leaving presents. They also got me Christmas presents every year.

That must mean you are pretty special, pretty good. I'm not that familiar with my checkout people. Like, I see faces and I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember them from some other time, but I never talked to them. Well, maybe you should stop being a prick and... I spent all my time in the bakery talking to the baker.

We're talking about when customers were actually good people. When they were nice. Not the monsters that we always hear about. In retail, especially. Yeah, yeah, there's a few of them. So we want to know the good things. What have they done? to know the good things. What have they done?

What are the nice things they've done? Some text messages in. I used to run a cafe and one customer always gave me chocolate cake. They've already got chocolate cake. That's the other way around. You've got to give them something that they don't already have cabinets full of. Yeah. That's like taking your liquor store owner a bottle of booze to say thanks.

Thanks for all the booze. But then you're standing in front of a cake all day, but you don't eat it because it's your profit. But you probably also don't eat it because once you start, it would be a slippery slope. That's why I could never be at a cafe. I'd be like, oh, end of the day, caramel slices, leftover ginger slice too. And then the other owner would be like, Vaughn, it's 11 o'clock in the morning.

I'm like, you know, end of the day. I can't have it going off. Same with a bar. You'd be like, oh my God, there's a whole bottle of whiskey left. Yeah. Oh no, you don't want to cork your whiskey. I better finish this. I better finish this bottle.

Steph, when was the customer actually nice? Well, not very often. But sometimes they come down with me. Yeah. And so I was, I think it was like Christmas time last year and I had a customer who was just like, oh, I really need this. And I was like, oh, we've got it,

but I don't know if I can give it to you. And I was just kind of arranged a few things. So a different customer didn't get it. And just before we shut down for Christmas, I got sent two bottles of pink gin. Oh, wow. Not one bottle, but two.

I know. And what about the customer that you ripped off to look after your favourite? Well, look, we don't talk about that customer anymore now. They're in jail. Well, but that's nice. What they don't know won't hurt them.

Exactly. And that's nice. So they obviously thought, you know, you went out of your way and you helped them out and they hooked you up. Well, exactly. And I find, well, especially in customer service, like if people are nice to you, you kind of go your extra way. Exactly. For them too. Totally.

This is a lesson. It's like, I don't want to help you. No favours. Exactly. Hey, Steph, thanks for your call. Tori, when was the customer actually nice to you? They gave me $100 when I went on an Aussie family trip. Really?

Yeah. As like a tip? Yeah, yeah. So they waited until they finished up with their dinner and gave it to me in an envelope and told me to spend it with my family. Oh, that's nice. They would tip me most times when they come into dinner,

about $20 each time. Wow, that's so nice. I like that they gave it to you in an envelope. They're like, don't tell anyone else because some places share the tips. Yeah, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. No, they've got a tip just for me. And yeah, I wrote a really lovely note with it as well.

So it was really nice. Oh, that's so nice. All right. Tori, thanks for your call. Ask the messages in. Somebody said, I work at a supermarket and I've been getting some really nice messages on the weekly click and collect for regular customers that can't come in. One morning it was all just a bit too much and I had to have a cry in the storeroom.

Because of the niceness. Like a happy cry. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. And that shows how vulnerable they're feeling. Yeah. As a florist, we're always getting phone calls thanking us for the beautiful bunches of flowers that people received. Oh, yeah.

So they get the flowers but then they probably say thank you to the people that gave them the flowers but then they skip the middle man and thank the florist. This is making me feel

like a bad person. I would never think to ring a florist and be like my darling I just received a bouquet of flowers from your florist.

You'd thank them if they made an amazing arrangement. You're not going to thank them for, like, putting six roses together, right? No, I'd imagine these were quite something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but they ring them and they say they were beautiful, and not only were they beautiful, they've lasted much longer than I thought they would.

And then there's even some people that receive flowers from us from somebody else that will drop off cuttings of greenery from their garden and be like, I just thought you could make this and you could put this in your bouquets. That's so lovely. That's saving them money. That's saving the florists money. But what if it's some manky hedge clubbing?

They're like, oh, thanks. And then in the bin. Leave it to us. Yeah. But what if some old girl comesbing. They're like, oh, thanks. And then in the bin. Hmm. Cool. Leave it to us. Yeah. But what if some old girl comes in and she's like, I've got so many peonies.

I don't know what to do with them. I've got to bring them in here. You're saving your money on your peonies. All right. Next on the show, it's my pick for Flashback Friday and going for a song

that was number one this very day in 1997. It was number one this very day in 1997. It was number one in Australia, here in New Zealand, all over the world, Europe. It was in probably most countries top 10 songs of the year. From an actor slash artist. Yes, and also in a movie. Okay.

And a role that this actor played is also in the news this week. Friday Flashback. And it is time for my Friday Flashback. Today, this was a song that was number one all over the world in a lot of countries. He actually, he wrote this and performed the song. Did he write it? Yes, he was in the song. Did he write it? Yes, he was in the movie.

What song did it sample? Was it? It was definitely like, was it a Stevie Wonder song? That the beat and everything's taken from? Oh, I don't know. It samples Forget Me Not by Patrice Ruchin. And features him rapping throughout the song. Now this song won the Grammy Award in 1998,

the following year, for Best Rap Solo Performance. Can I play the forget-me-nots as a clue, as an audio clue? Absolutely. Okay. Oh, too obvious. Too obvious. Too obvious. Too obvious. What obvious. Too obvious.

What did he even do? It's even got the clap. We literally just rapped over the top of this. Yeah. I mean, everybody's got it now, right? It's Will Smith, Men in Black on ZM. It's your Friday flashback. It's the MIBs. They come to MIBs. a flashback. Make contact The title held by me, MIB Means what you think you saw, you did not see

So don't play B, what was dead is now gone Black suit with the black ray bands on Walking shadow, moving silence Guard against extraterrestrial violence But yo, we ain't on no government list We straight, don't exist, no names and no fingerprints Saw something strange, watch your back Cause you never quite know where the MIBs is at Now, from the deepest of the darkest of night

On the horizon, bright light, inter-sight type Camera zoom, one of your pens in doom But then like boom, black suits fill the room up. Quick to quickness, talk with the witnesses, hypnotize up, normalize up. Living memories, turn to fantasies, ain't no MIBs, can I please? Do what we say, that's the way we kick it, you know what I mean? Let's give a noisy cricket, get wicked on you. With your first, last, and only line of defense Against the worst scum of the universe So don't fear us, cheer us

They won't let you do what you remember Here come the men in black Here they come Galaxy Defender As your Friday flashback on ZM, Will Smith, Men in Black, you could not escape this song. New Zealand's number one song this time, this very moment in 2000, no, sorry, 1997. Hey, you TikTok kids. That had a dance. Learn that one. Oh, yeah, it did.

It'd be a good TikTok dance. People didn't ask too much of the dancing in the 1990s, guys. If you could just clap in time, it was pretty good stuff. Remember I had slide with me, just slide with me. Rule with me, just rule. And the aliens, the CGI aliens were like, whoa, that must be real. So the reason we play that this morning, the reason I picked that is because in the last couple of days, there is news of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot.

It's just called Bel-Air this time. Yeah. Now, they have picked a guy from, do you know where he's from, this actor? No. Where do you think? In? West Philadelphia. Oh, yeah, he's from, the sector? No. Where do you think? In? West Philadelphia. Oh yeah, he's from Philadelphia.

Jabari Banks is his name. And his name's Banks! Yeah, I know. That was their family's last name. Yeah. And Will Smith called him on a Zoom call and told him that he had the part this week. And from the deepest parts of my heart I want to say congratulations to you.

You have the role of Will on Bel Air. And he's pretty stoked. How old is he? Would he even have been born when Fresh Prince of Bel Air was? No. He's so new that he's not the first thing that

comes up when you go, like the news stories are but there's no like, I don't think he has a Wikipedia or anything.

Pop Sugar have done a Things You Need to Know about him. Okay, so the final episode of the Fresh Prince of Ballet, what

year do you think it was? Around then? No, was it in, I don't know. You didn't say anything. 1999.

You didn't say around when 1999? You didn't say... Yeah, you just... Around when that song was out, 1997. 99? 96. What? It ran from 1990 to 1996. Because he left that...

That's when he did the acting and the music. So Jabari wouldn't have been alive. That would mean he would be 25 years old. He doesn't look 25 years old. No. So he wasn't even alive when it finished. Wow, that's crazy. That is crazy. Yeah.

Do people like it? Yeah, yeah. Good feedback. Good feedback. Of course people liked it. The first time I saw the song was on an ad for the All Blacks. And I thought Will Smith had written it for the All Blacks. So that's a younger. Ah, because the... It's a younger.

It was the... Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand safety video. That's right. That was punishing. That might have been it. Oh, and didn't Israel dig? He rapped.

Oh, that's right. It's probably been the best thing about this pandemic. Those bloody videos have calmed down. Mr. Taka, hey, Mr. T. She just needs to get him home. Yeah. Okay. There is

something on TikTok. It's a red flag but not everyone agrees. So I wanted to put this to you everyone and see where everyone sat on this. So a woman has gone viral. This is 7.9 million views this has got. Okay. Where she shares footage. So you know how in America lots of people have doorbell cam got. Okay. Where she shares footage. So you know how in America lots of people have doorbell cams?

Yep. So she shares the footage of her own. What's the famous brand? Ring. And it's like the button is also the camera. Yeah. And it's motion activated. It's so when people drop off parcels and packages,

you can see who they are and make sure no one steals them. And then everybody sees like people stealing their packages. Yeah. Because not everyone's clued on to the fact that those doorbells are also cameras. Yeah. Yeah. So she shared the footage

of her own doorbell cam. So it's her walking up to her door after a date. So she's gone out with this guy. It's night time. She walks up to the door and she says, red flag number two, I will be ghosting.

Because he didn't wait until she got into the house before driving away. So she's walking up the stairs and he's gone. And then she's unlocking the door and walking in. Huh. I wouldn't have even thought about that. Is that bad? It would have been a red flag, but I would have been like, huh. Didn't even see me in. I think It would have been a red flag, but I would have been like, huh, as well. Didn't even see me in.

I think it would have been a walk to the door. Or is that a little presumptuous that you're going to be invited inside? Yeah, you're trying to get in there. Yeah, I mean,

if you liked them and you walked me to the door, I think that would be nice. I wouldn't have even thought about, I would have, if you were dropping someone off and there were people around

that looked sketchy, then yeah, I'd wait. But if it was like a suburb and there's no one around, then I don't know. My husband always does it. So she sees red flag number two. Just for reference, red flag number one was he didn't open any doors for her, which she didn't appreciate. Right, can you not open doors?

No. I don't care if people don't open doors for me, but my husband also did that as well when we were dating. But I think that's like in South Africa you wouldn't leave someone, you wouldn't leave a girl at the door to get inside

by herself. You don't even stop at traffic lights in South Africa. So maybe that's where that comes from. In New Zealand you're like, she'll be right. See, like, get inside. Yeah. Also, producer Carwen at the social media desk, you raise a very good point about this. If somebody walks you to the door,

if you're flatting and you're going on a date, it's a bit awkward. Yeah, a little bit because if my, especially for me, my door is right next to the lounge if my flatmates are right there. It's going to turn into a Comedy Central roast. Or just everyone peering through the window at you. But would you just say in the car,

like, don't want me to the door or anything because my flatmates will be looking? I think you just do the little goodbye in the car. What was that hand signal? A little goodbye, you did something with your hands. Just like a... Oh, okay. I thought it was...

Right. Okay. So that wouldn't be a red flag for you because you just wouldn't want the embarrassment. No, I think they should still watch that I get inside. But not walk to the door. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Good. Okay. Good point. Yeah. I would be a little bit like, huh. Okay. Because like you'd turn around and do like a little wave before you walk in, right?

And they're already gone. You're like, oh. Who do I wave to? Sweetass. I would find that a little bit weird. So we did a poll anyway just to check the nation's vibe on it. And so we asked you is it rude for someone to drive away before you get inside. 66% of people said yes.

It is rude. Even if you don't think it's rude, the majority of people do. So just do it. Just do it. Yeah, you don't need to get out of the car. Just linger for a little bit longer to make sure they get inside. And then give them a beep beep. Yeah, and just go to places with automatic doors. So that No always do it Beep beep And go to places

With automatic doors So people like Megan Are going to be like You didn't hold it open for me I don't know how doors work I mean you don't have to Pay for my food I'm a grown woman

I can do that myself But like opening a door Would be nice You know Bit of chivalry Wouldn't go on me You go to the casino It does it

Yeah yeah exactly They've got that big round one. You're taking me to the Cassie on a date. The big round. Or for the wings at Andy's. Oh, yeah. I hope you don't mind me slopping food all over my face. That's happening, baby.

They're saucy wings. With your club deal, you get the parking discount, don't you? So you're right in there. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. But when did we go on to level four now and three? Three weeks back. Okay. And we didn't have a lot of notice.

People, businesses had to rush. 18th. 18th. So businesses had to rush, you know, prepare for the lockdown. Yeah. And movie cinemas. Hours noticed. Yeah.

Movie cinemas, no different. No. They were back in full flow. We were getting movie releases of things that were just being released online elsewhere in the world. Yeah. The smell of popcorn and frozen Cokes. Yeah.

Choc Tops. Yep. He's naming everything in the movies. Oh, wait. The stuff that's specifically movies. Yeah. I wasn't going to say like M&M's because you can get those anywhere. You know what I miss at the movies?

The pick and mix section. Bring that back. I know it was overpriced, but I loved it. Yeah, I loved it too. It? The pick and mix section. Bring that back. I know it was overpriced, but I loved it. Yeah, I loved it too. It's a pick and mix, I think. I don't think pick and mix are ever going to hit the strength that they once had because of COVID. I don't know. Even afterwards.

No, but these tongs. Do some of the hoitzes have, do you say hoitz? Hoitz. What's the plural of hoitz? Hoitz eye. Hoitz eye. Some of the hoitz eye, I think, have them. Maybe.

Yeah, I don't know. Okay, right. Maybe not. Right. Well, it's not have them. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, right. Maybe not. Right, well, it's not a Hoytsai or a Readings or an Event Sai. It was Timaru's Digital Movie Max. So I'd imagine that they, on the eve of the lockdown, were like, heck, we've got to change our phone recording to say, because they have a phone recording.

This is very old school, by the way. Movie line. Well, this is still how old people, they either get the movie times out of the paper or they ring the movie line and it's just a voicemail that gets changed every day. And it's like, we've got Harry Potter's on at 10.40, 2.40 and 6 p.m.

Yep. Exactly. That's all it is. It tells you the times that it's on. Now, I found this on Reddit last night. Now, Reddit is a huge collection of wildly sceptical people, and everybody seemed to think it was pretty genuine. Yeah, so you don't think this is made up?

No, because the number at the top of the screen that the guy is calling is also the number you can call for Timaru Movie Max. That could also be fake, though. That could be fake. Very though. That could be fake. Very easily. That could be fake, but somebody's gone to the effort, so even if it is fake, they've done it well. I appreciate the authenticity of it.

So this was last night on the Timaru Movie Max movie line. Yeah. Hello, and thank you for calling Movie Max, Digital Cinema's Timaru. We are currently closed until... Hello, and thank you for calling movie max digital cinemas tomorrow we are currently closed until level two you can see more hello and thank you for calling movie max digital cinemas tomorrow we are currently closed until we reach level two. You can check our website for updates on...

No. Hello and thank you for calling Movie Max Digital Cinema Timaru. We're currently closed until we reach level two. You can check our Facebook page and website for information on screening times and upcoming movies. Thank you. Yay! There was a little word

he tripped on, but he was like, I'm not going back on this one now. It's done. We can all relate to that. Presuming he had it written down though, right? Or was he just gone by the seat of his pants? We all read scripts and mess them up and have to start over and over

again. You should hear us sometimes doing an ad. It might take us 10 times. And the more you stuff up, the more frustrated you get. Yeah, the more you're like, argh! Executive Inter90, could we put a call through to see if that's been fixed? Because when was that?

Last night? Well, I saw it on Reddit last night, but it might have been. Hello, and thanks for calling. I'm Ricky Max, Digital Cinemas, Timaru. We are currently closed until we reach level two. You can check our Facebook page and website for updates on when we will be reopening. Thank you.

Oh, Megan! Megan! The last little one. The last one. When did he re-record it? When we will be. When we'll be. He's like, I'm not going there.

I'm not re-recording that. You know what I'm saying. They know what I mean. Suck it up, you mate. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Fact of the day, day a man called Arthur Wynne from Liverpool. Okay. Home of the Beatles, innit?

Yeah. We've been there. Lovely. Lovely. We crossed the river Mersey. Mersey. Mersey. Mersey. To the other side and then just came straight back.

You're begging me for Mersey. Yeah. There's like a hundred songs about the river Mersey and you chose to not sing any of them. Brilliant. What do you think Arthur Wynne did on the 21st of December 1913 in Liverpool? It was a world first. He was a journalist.

Oh. What year? 1913. Was it something to do with his work? Yep. Oh, he interviewed someone. Did he interview someone? It wasn't an interview.

Did he invent a type of... He invented... Typewriter. No, not a typewriter. Recording. He did an investigative piece. No. He went undercover. No. an interview. Did he invent a type of typewriter? No, not a typewriter. He did an investigative piece. No. He went undercover. No. He said yes, he invented something. He invented

the dictaphone. It's still in the paper. To this day. The crossword. Bingo. He invented the crossword. In 1913? I figured crosswords had been around for hundreds of years. Yeah, since words. Yeah. As soon as there were words there were crosswords had been around for hundreds of years. Yeah, since words. Yeah. Yeah, as soon as there were words, there were crosswords.

Someone wrote down a word and then they wrote one long way, and then they're like, oh, my God. They intersect on a vowel. Exactly. Wow. Yeah, and the lead up to Christmas, I guess he just had space to fill on the Sunday paper. Huh.

And so he was like, all these words intersect. It looks a little bit different too it's actually i've got the actual exact world's first crossword puzzle right here oh it looks like a pyramid it's not well no diamond two pyramids okay it looks like a pyramid had a big puddle in front of it and then you saw the reflection of the pyramid in the puddle as well as so it's like a diamond okay but with a hole in the middle. A hole in the middle. A diamond donut. And it's not like one down. It doesn't say

like one down. It says one to 32 because look, he's numbered he's numbered every square that's on the outside and then so he doesn't say like two across it's two to three. And so you count one, two, three, four, five letters.

Oh, right. Okay. That's exciting. What bargain hunters enjoy? Two to three. What do you think? Just sale. Sales.

Sales. Correct. Yeah. Correct. Good. Well, that was it. It wasn't an easy. It sounds like an easy one because I see one of the words is fun.

It doesn't look very cryptic that was a default he put that in oh to teach people as like the title of it because he didn't have them called crosswords he was just like this is something fun for you to do okay so it kind of took off and went a little bit crazy people were like i really like that puzzle he did yeah right the puzzle so he's like i'll do another one next sunday and then it started spreading in the early 1920s. Other newspapers picked up on them but were like, no, we're not copying him because we're not even doing the same shape.

And that's when it branched out and it became more of a square of any size. And the bits that weren't going to be filled in became filled with black. So he didn't actually call it a crossword. He was just a puzzle. No, word puzzle.

Yeah. The fun word puzzle of Arthur Wynne. So today's fact of the day, it was on the 21st of December, 1913, that the first crossword puzzle was printed in a newspaper. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZDM's Fletch, Ronan Megan. There is a stat out which is quite surprising. Thank you, Fletch.

The stat is 83%. What? I thought I made it clear before I didn't want to do this. I don't want to do it either. I thought I drew a line in the sand. I said nobody cross this line. You offered no alternative for two other voice breaks. I offered the alternative. One was too serious.

Can you keep Ugg boots fluffy? Okay. So you're throwing that now because we should save that for next week. Well, we can do that next week. Yeah, put it on next week's agenda. There you go. And what was the other thing? The bus dog on the buttons told me I had to do it. My other one was, what was the other thing? on the buttons told me I had

to do it. My other one was, what was my other one? The Greyhounds. Oh yeah, Greyhounds.

That industry has been put on notice. Good. Good. About time. The Pacifica Church said

they still haven't heard from Judith Collins. Even though she swears she's in touch with the Pacifica.

But she does have a Samoan husband. I'll tell her. Yeah. Are you just going to keep reading headlines

until we run out of time? That's a great idea. I was tell her. Yeah. Are you just going to keep reading headlines until we run out of time? That's a great idea. 83%. It's called filibuster. Friday filibuster. When I don't want to do anything, I'll just start talking and I don't want to refuse to stop.

You're going to get in trouble in a minute. Yeah, we'll stop it. 83% of people. Stop blathering. You keep talking over my stat. It's nothing personal. 83% of people. Are we okay? Now, he's angry at me too. I's nothing personal. It's nothing personal. Are we okay?

Now, he's angry at me too. I don't care. It's Friday. You guys got two days to carry on. Carry on. 83% of people invite individuals they don't like to weddings. That's a given. That is a lot, right?

That's just a given. But is this at the time? Because I can look back at my wedding and be like, wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't, don't know why I did, wouldn't, wouldn't, wouldn't with guests. But it's because you worked with a whole lot of them, and if you didn't, it would have been very awkward. Yeah.

I would have dealt with it. Would have been nice to know we were moving radio stations then, eh? It was a little before. It was a little before. Yeah. It was a little before the offer came. Vis-a-vis. Vis-a-vis. I had a wedding at that radio station too, so there's lots.

Yeah. I mean, you two were among, because I've had two weddings. You two were among. And Ross Boss. The very few amount of people that were actually at both. Yeah, you two, Ross Boss. Well, when I have my second one, I'll be sure to invite you as well. Thank you.

Thank you. It'll just be a renewal of the vowels. Very few. Vowels. Why did I say vowels? I meant vowels. It's because it's a snapshot in time. But they're talking about at the time when you invite people,

you don't like them. So we want to ask the question this morning because if 83% of people had someone at their wedding they didn't like, who was it? And how bad did you hate them? Do you both have to dislike them? Because what about the case, and I always feel, I've had a couple of friends, females, who are marrying a man that they love. They're not so keen on one of his friends who is now being added

to the bridal party. Oh, yeah. Do you both have to dislike them or are we also accepting that you invited someone that your partner likes that you did not like? I think we'll accept that. Okay. Yeah, 100%. Because what if your partner's like, I'd love my ex to come?

And you're like, oh, no, no, no, no. Only if they dress in a potato sack. Do you want this meeting to go ahead, sweetheart? I get to pick what they wear. Well, give us a call. So 83% of people invite people to their weddings that they do not like. Well, life is too short to be inviting people to your wedding and paying for them. That's why my second one, there was like 50 people there.

Yeah, also that and you don't have that many friends. That too. Yeah, you'd alienated yourself. Exactly. You'd alienated yourself. Quality over quantity. Exactly. You'd alienated yourself with your QAnon theories and your Trump support. Hey, hey. And we were like, no. We're on stand-by because we know it's just a phase. Megan's just online ordering ivermectin.

No! Don't even say it. No, she's doubling now. She's vaccinated and ivermectin-ing. You don't need to order it. We'll go see my dad. He's got the pour-on for when he delices the cows! We'll get you through the stockyards! Oh my gosh!

Give you a nape to nape to tail? You should tell your dad to lock up the ivermectin before these bloody nut bars. What's the brand and they're like dousing the sheep? Pour-on! Ivermectin pour-on. For those that have missed the news, anti-vaxxers are now

taking Ivermectin. Orally, by the way. Orally because they think it cures COVID. I don't even think you should say it. It's just stupid. Well, Joe Rogan, who's an outbar, he's got COVID and he's taking it as well. This is Trump in the bleach all over again.

Don't listen to Joe Rogan's focus. I only listen when he's got a guest on that This is Trump in the bleach all over again. You're still listening to Joe Rogansville, girls. I only listen when he's got a guest on that I like. Well, you're enabling. We want to know if you had someone at your wedding that you didn't like. Well, it turns out, yes. There are many people that did. So many people. Somebody said that their husband's ex,

who had become a girlfriend of one of his mates. Okay. Oh, that sucks. Making her way around the friend group. Has she got an invite? My mum's new boyfriend got invited. Did not want to invite him. 100% my stepsister.

I only invited her out of respect for my stepfather. That's kind of nice. Yeah. My best, the best man's new not nice girlfriend. She wasn't invited. She just booked flights and showed up. Those people get seated at the back table, don't they? Yes.

Do you remember when we were at the back table at Megan's wedding? Because I knew it would be the rowdy table. And then we made front table at the second one. So next time I reckon we'll be in the bridal party. So 83% of people reckon they have invited someone to their wedding That they don't like Are we still doing this? Are we still doing this?

We got down a whole of Alternative music during the song I'm pretty sure I put both Amy good morning Who was at your wedding that you didn't like? Morning guys Morning Amy My dad wanted to Inv invite one of his brothers,

which is, you know, the old obligation invite. My husband hadn't actually met him before, and I hadn't seen him for about six years, but I thought, okay, yeah, that's fine. Wedding went all good. That was great. And then at the end, when I was starting to say goodbye to people, he came up to me, proceeded to look at my stomach and make a comment about future babies. And I thought, oh, very presumptuous, but okay, whatever. And then

he stood on my dress and pulled me up for a hug and actually broke my wedding dress. Was your uncle Mr. Bean? Feels like a Mr. Bean thing. I would have forgiven him if he was. But no, he stood on it and actually broke the strap. And I had to sort of go, oh, no, that's absolutely fine.

And the guy was the wedding host was actually trying to help me fix it, but couldn't. So I had to get changed into something else for the rest of the evening. Have you even seen that uncle since? Nope. Not at all. Waste of invite, eh? Amy, thanks for your call.

Anonymous, who was at your wedding that you didn't like? It was my mother-in-law. Well, she's now my mother-in-law. Oh, you have to invite her. Wait, is she still currently your mother-in-law? Yes, she is. She was quite passive-aggressive about the fact that she didn't like me before the wedding. And then at our wedding, she got really drunk and told all of my family that we were effing nuts for wanting to have children.

And the morning of our wedding, I found out I was pregnant. Why did she think you were effing nuts for wanting to have children and the morning of our wedding i found out i was pregnant why did you think you were effing nuts for wanting to have children she'd had children yeah apparently um having children stopped her from doing all the things she had wanted to do with her life oh wow wow wow good sounds like the mother-in-law from White Lotus. Bit crazy, bit crazy, the TV show. Which one's the mother-in-law from White Lotus? What ep are you up to? I've only done three. Oh, she's coming in the next ep. Spoiler alert.

Thank you, Anonymous. The message is in. Somebody said the person I invited to my wedding that I didn't want to was my wife, now ex-wife. Yeah, okay. Okay, buddy. I get you. I see what you're putting down there.

Somebody said, to appease my mother-in-law, to appease her mother-in-law, my friend had three people she didn't even know at the wedding. And it was a small wedding. Because some people give their parents, like, an amount that they can invite. We did that. I don't understand that.

We did that. Because they can invite whoever they want.. I don't understand that. We did that. Because they can invite whoever they want. Even if Sade's dad didn't have as many friends, so he ended up inviting sort of like second tier people. Oh, what? Like the person from the supermarket? Yeah, yeah, like the postie. Yeah.

And then he said, do I have to still buy them a scorch armors this Christmas as they came to your wedding? I was like, I don't know. this Christmas as they came to your wedding? I was like, they're completely up to nothing.
