Fletch is going to witness a legal document signing.

Okay, when do you need me to be able to... now?
Now. After we're done here.
I need to get a hot chicken from the supermarket.
Can we get a hot chicken?
On the way, yeah, absolutely.

What am I witnessing here?
Am I...

Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm just witnessing...
Like, you need two signatures.
I just thought to...
I'm a business babe, And you're a business babe

To sell to some of your friends
Right

Yeah.
You want to run your own business.
Why are you paying somebody else, you know, to work for them?
Okay, I don't know what I'm signing up for, but I'm in for it.
I'm entirely fair that he gets to be your emergency contact and a witness.
I'm starting a church next week, and you're more than welcome to be the first person to
tithe 10% of your pre-tax earnings to that.
Yeah.
Can't work.
I'll get you signed up
for that.
As executors of the will,
Megan,
and boss business babes,
it's a hard line.
You wouldn't understand.
Yeah, you're not.
No, definitely not
up to speed
with running a business.
Your parents don't trust you
enough to be the executor
to have you as
the executor of the will.
No, not yet.
The power of attorney as well.
My brother's not
one either though,
so it's not as if
I'm like less than him.
You'll be that lady
in the news and your mum's bloody on the couch and she can't move
and you've spent all of your money on shoes and ASOS.
And then you'll be like, I'm not taking her home.
You just said she can't move.
She doesn't need shoes.
No, you're buying them.
Yeah, for me.
With her money, yeah.
Yeah, but she doesn't need shoes.
Yeah, but she can't move.
She needs care, but they've got no money left because of your shoes.
Oh, she needs care.
Okay, yeah. Yeah. Oh, but they've got no money left because of your shoes. She needs care. Okay, yeah.
What are you just going to let her...
See, this is why you're not executor of the will.
So much responsibility.
That's a lot of responsibility.
So far, I have had to do nothing.
Yeah, well, it's not a
good thing when you do have to become an executor.
Yeah. That's the problem, isn't it?
Well, that means your parents are dead.
Yeah.
And I'll be crying and I'll be trying to read all the small print. Yeah That's the problem isn't it Well that means your parents are dead Yeah Yeah Yeah It's quite hard to
And I'll be crying
And I'll be trying to read
All the small print
Yeah
And I'll be like
Tell me what that says
I hope I don't get ripped off
By some
Never do well
What?
Near do well
Ah he was a real
Near do well
ZDM's

ZDM's Fleshch Vaughan and Megan. Play.
ZDM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Megan.
Happy Monday.
Thanks.
Lorde tickets go on sale today at midday.
Oh, yeah?
So who's going to be in charge of buying those?
Um, well, not me. Not Vaughan.
Because I will forget
leave it with me
I'll remember it
like 5 o'clock
this afternoon
I know you would
and all the tickets
will be sold out
because these are
going to go like
hotcakes
I've already set
a reminder on my phone
so I'll buy them
okay cool
I'll sort that out
we do today have
a Lord Tickety
Wickety Blitz
so from 8 o'clock
until 5 today
every hour
we have a double pass to give away so 8 o'clock until 5 today, every hour we have a double pass to give away.
So 8 o'clock, the very first chance.
Listen up for the activated win double pass to see Lorde.
And then every hour today on ZM.
Coming up on the show, the top six.
Yeah, the government is looking at buying managed isolation facilities in the form of already built hotels.
So they'll just
pay the companies.
I guess so, yeah.
Take them over.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
And they'll be managed
isolation facilities.
The top six names
for those government
MIQ hotels
coming up.
And I'm just trying
to figure out
how to turn off
encryption on my emails.
I don't know
what happened here.
Sending encrypted emails. Yeah. It was a joke.. I don't know what happened here. Sending encrypted
emails. Yeah. It was a joke.
I don't know how
to turn it off. Also coming
up on the show, we've got a chance for you to
win a Fussy Cat
prize pack worth
a bit of cash.
A million dollars? A million dollars, no.
But we do have a $2,000
cash prize. We'll explain how this works soon.
Town City win.
If you've got a cat in your life, fisicay it.
Now, if you're up and you're working now,
chances are you might be home a little bit earlier in the afternoon.
Well, how would you pass that time and add to your productivity?
I'm going to tell you next on the show.
It's good, though.
It's not, though.
It's not one of those, like, breathing exercises.
It's not one of those.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Afternoon sex.
Delight.
Delight.
Delight.
Which is why it's delightful any time of the day.
But apparently it is good for the productivity.
Taking a break from work if you're working from home.
Oh, I was going to say.
Because this comes out of Australia
where New South Wales
and I mean,
there's a few that have lifted.
A few states that have lifted.
A lot of people
doing the old work from home.
Yeah.
Stay home orders again.
Reckon that
having a little afternoon nookie, good for production because the chemicals
that are released in your brain reduce stress, boost the immune system, help you sleep well,
help you feel great, and can give you a little bit of a boost to get through the rest of
the day.
And also apparently creative levels.
Higher.
After a little... If you're at work, though. Yeah, if you're working... Well, that's why it's working from home. Oh, yeah. After a little...
If you're at work, though.
Yeah, if you're working...
Well, that's why it's working from home.
It works better.
Or maybe workplaces need to start doing conjugal visits,
like in prison.
Like in prison.
Like a nookie room.
Yeah.
Gross.
Yuck.
Yuck.
What room would that be?
The meeting room, eh?
Here?
No, the meeting room's got windows on all sides.
The boardroom.
No.
Yuck.
Just to know that your fellow workmates have also been in there.
Yeah.
Isn't there a wellness room here?
Where you can have a little nap?
They've been in the wellness room.
It's not.
It's like a cupboard.
It's not like a...
It made me feel well.
I just went looking for it one day.
I was like, I've got to know what this is.
Because you see about in the company emails.
It was like a
small, it had a jug and a sink,
a miniature bench.
It sounds like it needs some bamboo
screens and some tie, you know that
music. Spa music. Tie spa music.
When you go and get a massage.
It's like hits, but it's done with flutes.
Right. Yeah, it's like a dell.
It's like a dell music. It's a dell. No lyrics.
Yeah, but it's just like pan flute.
I'm imagining they don't pay royalties for playing that.
I actually don't know the idea of royalty.
It's enough that it sounds like Adele.
Is that what you want to make love to?
Adele pan flute?
No, I'm saying the wellness room needs a Thai massage vibe.
You need some Thai spa music Bruno Mars for your lovemaking.
Yes, yes.
That's lovemaking music, baby.
Well, this study, these thoughts by this sex expert,
this love coach, were backed up by a furniture company called Koala.
They did a whole lot of, what did you develop?
Were they just letting their employees run rampant?
No, no, no.
So they did a survey and a study because they're releasing a brand new range
of like home office furniture.
Okay.
So they wanted to know what people needed and what people wanted
and what their day looked like when it was working from home.
Not only where they sat, you know, how they did their work,
but also what they did to take a break from work.
So there were people who had like a power nap,
people who took a break to do chores.
That was a quarter of people who did like chores on the company
when they should have been working.
Also a quarter of them had a power nap.
One third, so 33% versus this 25% for chores and a nap.
33%.
Afternoon delight.
Making love on the company dollar.
And they were more productive afterwards.
Yeah.
Okay.
And they said it had boosted their relationship
and they were doing things like they'd start a little bit later
so they could have breakfast together.
And they'd have joint lunch breaks and stuff. Spend time with their partner when they were doing things like they'd start a little bit later so they could have breakfast together. And they'd have joint lunch breaks and stuff.
Spend time with their partner when they were working from home.
Oh, well, touch wood, we're not locked up anytime soon,
but good to know if there is another lockdown.
For you.
For just in general.
Yeah.
In life.
Well, you're free in the afternoons.
Of course I am.
But it'll be lockdown.
You won't be able to just get about.
Yeah.
ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan.
To Brazil we go now.
A 71-year-old man was riding his motorbike.
Can you imagine being 71 and riding a motorbike?
I can't imagine riding a motorbike.
I can't trust myself.
Yeah, I couldn't trust myself now on a scooter even.
He was driving along and I think they haven't seen what happened,
but he felt unwell.
Maybe it was a heart attack or something.
And he just crashed off his bike on the side of the road.
Oh, buddy.
The ambulance came and they pronounced him dead.
Oh, God.
They were like, oh, yeah, he's dead.
He's gone.
They put him in a body bag.
They zipped it up.
You can see a picture here of the body bag next to a helmet.
And that's when local TV news came.
They were like, oh, heck, someone's died on a motorcycle accident.
They're filming the scene.
And that's when they noticed the body bag moving.
And so they go over and unzip it.
They go over and unzip it.
And they see a little bubble,
ear bubble on the side of his mouth.
He wasn't dead.
The paramedics had pronounced him dead.
He was not dead.
He was alive.
And they unzipped the bag.
They got the paramedics back.
They did some CPR.
They took him to hospital.
And he's still in hospital,
but he is alive.
And that's the second time in like a year
or so this has happened in brazil i happened to an 81 year old who apparently didn't make it after
surgery uh they took her to the morgue uh and then staff discovered her on the floor she'd got up
or got out of wherever they were keeping her and they were like what yeah so i don't know if they
are they putting the heart monitors on the right spots?
Are they just like listening at the chest and being like...
Doing that thing where you hold a mirror under the nose
and if it fogs up, they're breathing.
It's not World War I, mate.
I've seen pictures of these old people.
They look dead.
They look very old.
Like, you just look at them and...
So you think it's purely observational
They're like
You look at them
And you're like
They're old
That old mate didn't survive that crash
Like look at them
They're old
They're not moving
Let's assume they're dead
Yeah that would be me as a paramedic
Because then you get to go home sooner right?
No
God
Yeah they're like
They have plans or something
I don't know how it works
But yeah
Cutting a few corners in Brazil
The Phuket Sandbox initiative Is allowing tourists But yeah, cutting a few corners in Brazil. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
The Phuket Sandbox initiative is allowing tourists to move freely on the island if you are fully vaccinated.
No quarantine required.
So you can go to...
We just can't get back.
That's the problem.
Oh yeah.
Forgot about that.
You forgot about... I'm the type of person
that will book it
and then be like,
oh, shh.
MIQ.
Oh, I need that voucher thing
that's really hard to get.
Also, the island of Phuket,
it's not often considered an island
because it's literally like
right next to the land.
It's just like a peninsula
with a bridge to it.
Yeah, I never thought of it as an island.
Yeah, you don't think of it as an island because it's so close.
Like you could literally like swim across the part that separates it quite easily.
But Thailand lost $50 billion in tourism revenue last year.
Yeah, that'd be hurting.
But would you want to like be one of the first tourists to go back?
It would be amazing because you get all these amazing beaches to yourself,
but you would get hassled.
Well, yeah, like you said, 50 billion of their GDP disappeared
when tourists weren't allowed to go there anymore.
So, yeah, people are going to be hurting.
But also a lot of street vendors and businesses have closed
just because they don't have the tourist facilities.
Well, I'm sure that's good because a lot of Europeans go there
and a lot of Europeans are vaccinated.
So good for them.
Good for them.
Lucky for them.
Yeah.
Because I think, did Bali open as well?
Is Bali open?
But again, same thing.
You need to be vaccinated.
And then coming back to New Zealand.
Coming back, you'll never get back.
Yeah.
Unless you want to pay the MIQ if you can get a voucher.
Well, you've probably got to book your MIQ before you can do anything else.
Yeah.
But then do you have to, having not booked MIQ,
do you have to say where you're coming from?
I think so.
You've got to have your flight and stuff.
Right.
Yeah, because I've seen a friend's got a voucher.
You've got to have your flight number booked. I. Yeah, because I've seen a friend's got a voucher. You've got to have your flight number booked.
I believe so because I saw my friend's voucher and it said their flight
because they're going to the Olympics.
Yeah.
Coming back, it's got the flight and it's got like a little code thing,
so it's all booked in.
Right.
So you need the flights before you book MIQ, but then there's the catch-22.
And if you're on holiday, you've got to pay as well.
And tack two weeks on to your holiday just to sit in a hotel back in New Zealand.
No.
Gotcha.
Not worth it, is it?
Not really.
Well, good to know Phuket's open.
Yeah.
ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan.
This is elementary school, so that's primary, right?
Primary school?
Yes, I believe so.
American primary.
This is in Baltimore,
in Maryland. They have
tried something different to detention.
So when kids misbehave,
they get sent to what they're calling
a mindful moment
room. It is a program.
And they've been doing it for a few years. So
basically the kids go into this
room, and there's a teacher there all the time,
so it's like detention.
But instead of being punished and doing, I don't know, writing lines or whatever,
they get the opportunity to stretch, practice yoga and meditation.
So it's supposed to get them to calm down, wind down, relax when they're stressed out and when they're having, you know, like some kind of meltdown.
Does it work?
Have they said if it works?
Apparently so. So the kids, after they're having, you know, like some kind of meltdown. Does it work? Have they said if it works? Apparently so.
So the kids, after they do their stretching and breathing,
and there's pictures of them doing it.
It's pretty cute because they're, you know, primary kids.
One of the kids said, I did some breathing.
I had a little snack.
I got myself together.
Then I went back and I apologized to my class for the disruption.
Okay, that's pretty good.
That's good.
And it's going to be like, does it work?
Does writing the same line over and over again work?
Does copying the rules work?
You go back and you're still pissed off.
What do they do for detention now?
Like, we did lines, right?
Or you wrote numbers backwards from whatever, a thousand?
Oh, really?
That was one, I think.
Did you get detention?
I never got detention.
Oh, that's smart was one, I think. Did you get detention? I never got detention. I was a cheeky,
like,
You were a goody-goody.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just like to graze up the teachers
more than I got in trouble.
Wasn't it an old system? You got your name
on the board,
or whatever, it got recorded, and then
the first cross was
the short detention, and then the first cross was the short detention
and then the next one was the long detention.
Oh, no, I thought it was like third strike detention.
No, in ours it was name.
That was your warning shot.
Name on the board was the warning.
Yeah, I remember that.
Short detention, long detention, and if you got three,
you were out of there, pal.
You were going to go and see the Prince of Pal.
Who was not your pal.
No, no. Because they had other stuff to see the Prince of Pal. Who was not your pal.
No, no.
Because they had other stuff to do.
I don't know what they do now.
But then it just makes you angry and you huff off down to the Prince of War and you're like, I don't deserve this, you know?
Yeah.
You go into a room and you get a snack and you just get told to do some yoga
and breathe, you're going to feel pretty chill afterwards.
Stay mindful.
Although the fat kid in me sees snacks,
I might intentionally...
Misbehave more.
Yeah, but I don't think they're giving out
like a bag of burger rings.
Oh, because in my mind it was rations.
Or a slice of apple or a...
Okay.
Yeah, but still, would you do maths
or would you sit there and do breathing and have an apple?
Like one definitely sounds better than the other.
Yeah, maths.
I'd skip maths for a yoga retreat.
It's a quiet time.
From the ZM clickbait room, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Great news.
Crucial vaccine shipment has arrived two days ahead of time.
But the bad news is we weren't home,
so the courier just chucked it at the door.
Oh, we've got to go to the bloody courier depot in the middle of nowhere.
But at least they kept it refrigerated.
Oh, wait, they didn't.
How cute was Chris Hopkins when he was talking about he tracks the flights
and then he watches the live stream of it being unloaded?
I was like, you're a nerd.
I love it.
And he loses sleep.
He does when he thought he was running out.
So 150,000 of the COVID vaccines from Pfizer, so the good ones.
And then it's meant to be ramping up as well after that, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then we're just like, keep them coming, Pfizer,
and chuck in some stiffy pills while you're at it.
See, that'll get the old mates down to get vaccinated,
chuck in a free Pfizer stiffy pill.
Yeah, get a vaccine and a stiffy pill.
We'll call it the Pfizer double.
What do the women get?
A husband with the stiffy pill.
You get a horny husband.
Great.
But you are right.
I'm not thinking about our lesbian cohorts.
Yeah.
A stiffy pill for you too.
Or a Xena calendar.
A Xena calendar.
A Xena princess warrior.
That's true.
She's an icon.
Right.
And a discount on a Mazda BT50.
Sure, sure.
All right, the top six names for the government MIQ hotels,
because I'm thinking of buying a couple, only a couple.
Right, so that they're permanent facilities.
Yep.
Right, okay.
So there's 31 hotels
across New Zealand
currently being used
as MIQ facilities.
They think long term
they might, you know,
have a couple.
Do you reckon they'll
buy the jet park?
Jet park will be like,
thank God for that.
God, because we were
never going to brand
our way out of this one.
Rebrand.
Look at this face.
Have I ruined your list?
Well,
you'll have to think of something else.
There'll be no number one.
He's sulking. He's packed his
soul. There'll be no number one. No one will remember
by then. There'll be no number one.
Everyone's got to act like it didn't happen.
Number six on the list of the
top six names for government MIQ hotels.
M-I-Q-E-N-S-T-O-W-N.
Trick people into thinking they're going to Queenstown.
It's not Queenstown.
They're going to what?
South Auckland.
Yeah.
Okay.
Then I'm definitely not going to Queenstown.
Number five on the list of the top six names for the government MIQ hotels.
The Huntley Hilton.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
I reckon we build something in Huntley.
Okay.
And then just call it the Hilton.
But are they going to build all new hotels? No, I think they're going in Huntly. Okay. And then just call it the Hilton. But are they going to build
all new hotels? No, I think they're going to buy
existing. Oh, okay.
Number four on the list of the top six names of the
government MIQ hotels that they might
buy. The Park Hyatt. Oh, was that a
sneeze?
Because it sounds a little bit like a
sneeze. Number three on the list of
the top six names for the government MIQ
hotels.
The holiday inside your room for two weeks.
Because you ain't getting out of that room for two weeks.
I'm just looking, how much does a hotel cost?
Like, you know, you never see hotels for sale, right?
Yeah.
But then that's the other thing.
If they're buying one that's part of a major chain, they have to buy it off the chain.
Yeah.
The Park Hyatt in Auckland has been rumoured to cost more than $1 million a room to build while other hotels were closer to $300 to $350 a room.
A room?
Depending on how many stars the hotel is.
Good Lord.
Woo!
That's a lot.
I wouldn't have thought it would have been that expensive.
Just economies of scale.
An article from 2018,
New Zealand hotel construction cost ridiculous.
Why?
No doubt.
What if they contracted it out to Sky City?
So there were pokies in every room.
To pay for them.
Yeah, it was called the government Sky City managed isolation facility,
but every room had some pokies in it.
To try to pay back the...
Sure.
Well, nobody's paying their bloody bills, are they?
Exactly.
We'll get it out of them one way or another.
Number two on the list of the top six names
of the government MIQ hotels, Club Medical Observation.
It's not quite as tropical as the original Club Med,
which you don't hear about anymore as much.
Well, no, because no one can go.
No, but even before that, you didn't hear about Club Med as much.
It's a bit of a, what, an 80s, 90s brand.
I think it was a 90s, 2000s, absolutely a hot spot.
Yeah, right.
And number one on the list of the top six names for the government AMIQ hotels,
we might as well call them Jet Park Hotels because that brand's buggered anyway.
See?
Oh, I've already said that.
Wait, no.
I already said that. Wait, no. I already said that.
I know.
You bloody did.
Great minds.
Great minds.
Great minds.
Great minds.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
A 40-year-old UK man.
Oh, warning.
This is going to make you absolutely cringe.
This is what is thought to be a medical first.
I also think we need to stop down precisely before you say the words again
as a reiteration to just take a deep breath
and make sure you haven't got food or water in your mouth.
Okay.
It's a medical first.
It's making history.
This injury occurred during sex time.
A 40-year-old man has...
Okay, you're about to say it?
Not yet.
Okay, remember.
I thought you still got it on.
No.
The first documented case of, again, warning.
Warning.
I'm about to say it.
Warning.
Warning.
I'm going to hold mine just in a kind of a brace position.
A vertical penile fracture during sexual intercourse.
How is that even possible?
There's long ways.
Because normally like...
There's long ways.
Yeah.
Yeah, normally it's horizontal,
they said,
when they get a fracture.
Yep.
Because there's no bone.
Like, that's the thing.
There's no bone in the pain.
No. They call it a fracture because it feels like that
But it's when you rupture
The rubbery sheath of tissue
I don't have one
Imagine being a medical first
That's when you get more doctors
Coming into your room to have a look
They're like, hey Terry, come and look at this.
This guy's gone a long ways.
They say, can we take photos of this?
For a medical journal.
This has to go in the journal.
Yeah.
And they're all, like, clambering over themselves
to be the doctor that gets their name under this discovery in the journal.
Can I say, like, what they wrote down as how this injury occurred?
Oh, please do.
Something to be avoided going forward, gents.
The 40-year-old man, his penis buckled against his partner's perineum.
The gooch, right?
That's the gooch, right?
Male or female?
Because everybody's got a perineum.
Oh, actually, no.
It doesn't say.
It doesn't say, yeah.
So he's gone out and then he's missed on the re-entry.
And he's hit the wall.
This male or female has a rock hard gooch.
Dry as a bone too, I'm imagining, because there's no movement.
It just hits grips and twists.
Yeah, there'd be some power coming through.
Absolutely.
Yeah, this is like, do you know in those movies
when there's two planes or jet fighters are fighting each other
and the other jet goes into the mountainside?
And they miss the hole in the wall or the tunnel
and they've just exploded into the canyon on the side.
Yep, that's it.
So apparently it feels like...
Except it didn't explode, it just split down the middle.
Like a plane hits the mountain and the plane just goes
and it buckles down the middle. Apparently it feels
like a broken bone. Oh god.
So that has to have surgery
because obviously if they don't fix it then it could be
permanent
dysfunction of... Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's a world... That's a medical
first. It's a world first.
Surely not, but someone's just not owned up to that.
You know how guys are like really bad at going to the doctors?
I think the pain would override any embarrassment here.
Yeah, surely, right?
What do you mean they just whacked a splint on her arm?
Put a couple of stick-
Jesus.
A couple of Panadols, a couple of Popsicle sticks and tape.
We'll just spling it at home.
This is going to make you cringe.
They said usually when there's like a rupture of this kind,
they hear a popping sound.
I've heard about this.
I've heard about the mythical pop.
I've heard about the mythical pop.
Oh, God.
Okay, that's horrible.
Yeah.
You okay?
You're still holding it.
It's horrible.
I've got so many more questions for the guy.
I know the poor guy is going to be
Like
Questioned a lot
But I'm guessing that's good
Leading up in the medical journal
Yeah
I don't think they name him
He's just a 40 year old UK man
We don't know any more details
That's one of many
Many many
So
At the risk of making us cringe even more
We'd like to know what your sexy time injury was
And it could be like Saturday and Monday But like a result of And then you like cringe even more, we'd like to know what your sexy time injury was. 7am Monday.
But like a
result of and then you like
I don't know, fell out of the shub and
What? Who's doing it
in a shub? Unless you've got
that. You don't have sex in a shub.
Who were you pointing at?
Does somebody have a shub injury?
No, not an injury. You don't have sex
in a shub because it's got the...
The bottom is uneven and it's slippery.
And it's curved.
It's not a flat bottomed shower.
I feel like it's a life lesson.
Live a little though, eh?
No, because you put it in the corner for stability,
but it won't.
It could go up, it could go down.
Yeah, but you need one of those mats, you know,
with the little octopus suckers on them.
Yes.
A grip mat.
Like at the ridges, yeah.
Yeah.
Why have you got your head buried in your hands, Executive Intern Anya?
Do you have a shub?
She just knows the life lesson not to.
David, will I have a shub?
No, no, no, no.
Does your new place have a shub?
What is the bathroom situation at the new spot?
Just a shower. Just a shower. Okay. I feel like we're not hearingub? No. What is the bathroom situation at the new spot? Just a shower.
Just a shower.
Okay.
I feel like we're not hearing a story here.
It's a safer option.
I feel like we're not.
That's a shub.
The shub's a dangerous place.
Okay, so you'd like to hear from people this morning that have had a 60 times injury.
Yeah.
We don't need to be too graphic about it.
No, and it doesn't have to be of those areas.
It can be like an injury that occurred just... Yeah, because you fell out of
the bed. The shop.
Then you can lie and say I was
walking backwards and I slipped
over and banged my head, but if it's
specifically to the genital area, you've got
to pretty much tell them the truth.
Huge argument in studio
if it's pro or anti-foreskin.
Oh, okay.
We're asking for your medical.
I've just found another aspect of my foreskinned brothers
that makes me think it's a bad idea to have one.
We're asking about your sexy time whoopsies.
A man in the UK, it's believed to be a medical first,
has split his sausage long ways.
That's not what they wrote in the medical journal,
but sure.
Oh, my God.
You know when you're cooking them on the barbecue and you god, you know when you're cooking them on the barbecue
And you're cooking them too fast and they blow apart
Leaves ways
And that's why you don't
Cook pre-cooked sausages
Because they are more likely to pop
And that is what actually got us talking about
The fouries
Because a lot of people have messaged
They're calling them fouries, they're trying to sound cute
At least deliver them the scientific name A lot of people have messaged in about... They're calling them fouries. They're trying to sound cute. At least deliver them the scientific name.
A lot of people are messaging in saying that they're the banjo string.
Now, I didn't know.
I don't know about that aspect.
I was relieved of mine as a wee baby.
I don't remember anything and I've got no regrets.
And I haven't had any complaints.
I don't think that question's appropriate for one of your actual
afterwards.
So, tell me. It's a lot of moisturiser.
A lot of moisturiser.
A lot.
But I tell you what, it's very youthful looking
because it's had the
best moisturising regime in my
entire body.
Sorry, this is a bit
R-rated perhaps.
So does, answer me this, and this is a serious question.
I do not know.
Yeah.
The banjo string as it's locally called,
it attaches under the penis as the penis.
And the back.
At the back or the bottom.
Down to the, yeah.
And then does it attach to the foreskin?
At the frontskin? Yeah.
At the front?
The back.
The back.
If you're looking down at it, it's the back. It can only go back as far as it was forward.
Are you kidding me?
Or just look at the picture.
At least get rid of that bit.
That sounds restrictive.
Oh my God.
Don't you want to have something on the way up?
This is happening on the radio.
You want to get it all the way down.
You don't.
Okay, anyway.
That's fascinating.
I'm 39 years old and I had no idea.
That's interesting, isn't it?
I had no idea.
Fascinating.
I guess you've only ever seen yours.
Correct.
Yeah.
I've seen others, but not closely enough to be like,
you haven't been.
What's this hair?
Yeah, right.
What's going on here then?
Okay.
Well, anyway, people have broken them.
Somebody said, my husband.
We're not trying to call this person.
They've literally just messaged in.
And my husband snapped his, let's call it its proper name.
Frenilum.
Frelinum.
Frelilium.
That's a flower, isn't it?
He's that.
Perineum.
Perineum.
That's the other side.
That's the one by the butthole.
My husband snapped his and this Wednesday he's having surgery to get his foreskin removed.
Because the snap was so bad.
Good Lord.
Oh no.
That would be weird.
That's like getting a brand new penis.
You're already married to him.
You were pretty much set on that one for the rest of your life.
And now you get a brand new one halfway through.
And what about him?
It's so different. He's been with that one for his whole life and suddenly it looks
different. It's exciting. It's like
a renovation. It'd be like getting your car back
from the panel beaters but they left the bumpers off.
No, that's
it sounds like a dangerous
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Slander.
Slander. Solander. Slander.
So many, so many stories of that specific injury.
So many men, so many women who have experienced that injury on their partner,
be it a long-term partner or a very short-term partner.
That would be traumatic.
That's a great sound.
Maybe don't read those ones out if they're that bad.
No, no, no.
And then there's ones like this.
Back when I was eight, they mentioned their full name in the text,
and I'm not going to read it because I feel like it's one of those ones
where you send in your mate's story on their behalf and try to out them.
When I was 18, I met up with a young lady down at Salford Point in Rotorua.
We obviously had to, if we wanted to partake in the deed, it was in the car.
It's certainly not like in the movies.
I got major cramp.
Then I went to meet her family for the first time.
I came limping into the house.
They asked what happened.
I had to make up some story about tripping over backwards
over those little barrier chains rather than the fact
that I'd just endured intense cramps.
Was that a Suzuki Swift or something small?
I don't know.
No.
Yeah, you'd need a big car.
If you're over six foot, you need a station wagon or a Delica,
one of those Mitsubishi Delica vans that everybody was driving in the 90s
that were either green or maroon red.
Right.
Let's take some calls.
An anonymous caller, you had a sexy time injury.
Yes, I did.
Okay, so what did you do?
What did you get injured?
So I had an unstable shoulder.
My right shoulder was pretty unstable.
I had an old sporting injury.
Okay.
And I was with my ex at the time.
It was a bit of an afternoon event.
Okay, yeah.
And it was getting pretty energetic,
and I sort of, we're trying out new things,
and I sort of tried to reach a bit longer than I should have, and my shoulder popped.
Oh.
You dislocated your shoulder during sexy times.
Yes, I did.
Who popped it back in, them, or did you go and get a professional to do it?
Because it was pretty unstable, I sort of managed to get it back in myself.
It took about 10 minutes,
but once I got it back in,
yeah, we sort of carried on.
Oh!
Wow!
Just a little 10-minute injury break.
Commendable.
Yeah, okay.
Nothing can stop a man.
I broke three ribs during a vigorous session.
Good Lord. That's a... Jesus! Wait, there was... I broke three ribs During a vigorous session Good lord
That's a
Wait there was
Did it like hit something or
No explanation given there
As to how
I've x-rayed
Oh god it's always good to hear from a radiologist
Of all the medical professionals
I think radiologists have some great stories
You know the police came out and said get better work stories But radiologists have some great stories. You know, the police came out and said, get better work stories,
but radiologists have way better work stories.
Radiologists.
I'd have a file if I was a radiologist of all the cool things I'd x-rayed in my career.
I've x-rayed a few sexy time injuries.
Some of the more interesting ones was someone threw their hands up in the air.
They just don't care.
Must have just been like, they said it was in
celebration and they put their fingers straight into
a ceiling fan.
Somebody else
needed an x-ray
on their facial bones because apparently
it got vigorous and
they slammed their own face into the
bed head.
I mean, that's just a general life rule.
Check the hardness of anything before slamming your face into it.
Well, see, why are you telling the radiologist that?
Like, say it was you tripped and fell or something.
Yeah, yeah.
And I didn't expect any of our stories, people texting,
and we've had so many stories, a lot of which are unfit for broadcast,
and you've heard how far we've taken this.
So you can only imagine how much worse they are.
Oh, yeah.
There was one call I stopped putting on air because I was like,
that can't go on air.
That's very.
So I didn't expect any of our text messages to start this way.
It wasn't me, but it was my mum.
Oh, okay.
No.
So mum's obviously told you about this.
Yeah. Mum was in the throes, okay. No. So mum's obviously told you about this. Yeah.
Mum was in the throes of it.
Yeah.
Fell out, rolled off.
Fell out of bed, smashed her head on the side table, knocked herself out and was stuck between
the tiny gap between the bed and the side
table. Oh my god.
Mum.
Oh no. Do you think this is like a mum
who's got like a super cool open relationship with
her teenage daughter now
as like she's single, she's like, okay, this
happened to me at the weekend, girlfriend. Grab a Prosecco, you're never
going to believe this. Or this is like mum's like
telling the story of back
in the day this happened to me. Oh, I don't know.
Either way, I probably wouldn't want to know, to be honest.
Thank you for you sharing.
And I tell you what, many dislocations.
Really? Many dislocations.
Be careful, be careful out there.
I got a
knee to the face.
Fat lip before going out was great
explaining what happened that night.
This is why it's great just to be plain and vanilla, right?
Don't point at me, bitch.
Why don't you
point at old mate over there?
Oh, I'm very happy with vanilla ice cream.
Every now and then add some sprinkles and maybe a bit of chocolate sauce,
but no, base, very vanilla.
ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan.
You know, when you get off the couch, you're like, oh.
Get off your chair, you're like, oh.
Or picking up a box or something heavy, you're like, oh.
Or just sitting down sometimes.
What age do you reckon you start doing that from?
30.
25?
25, I reckon.
You just vocalise your movements.
Yeah.
But when you think about it, tennis players do it and weightlifters do it.
Yeah, who's that annoying tennis player?
She's renowned.
Maria Sharapova. Maria Sharapova.
Maria Sharapova, yeah.
Sounds like a hungry seagull looking for chips.
But weightlifters do it too when they're...
Yeah.
Oh, people at the gym who have to do it every time they're like pressing weights or something.
They're like...
There's some real vocal people just like like do it, do it quietly.
Getting off the couch and lifting a heavy weight,
very different things.
But apparently the reason you grunt could be for the same reason
because studies have suggested that it activates
your body's sympathetic response.
So like your fight or flight instinct
and it triggers more forceful muscle contractions.
So like it literally is helping you do
either the weights or just getting up off the couch
is really hard.
So if you grunt, it makes it easier.
Yeah.
Your body's dropping.
Exactly.
The grunt is helping you do it.
So I guess when you're younger,
you don't need that assistance.
Right.
And then when you get older, you need a little bit of help.
The grunt is helping your muscles get up off the couch. Yeah, because have you ever seen a real old person get up?
They're just like...
I give myself a, here we go.
Like you turn it into a, you know,
like a little bit of a motivational saying for yourself as well.
So there's something for the body and the mind there.
Okay.
Here we go.
So it's good for your muscles.
One more time.
Okay.
This will soon be over.
I mean, that's why people grunt at the gym.
Yeah.
It's helping.
And that's why Maria Sharif, every time she hits the ball, she needs a grunt.
She's giving a little bit extra.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Oh, yesterday was good. Spent the day doing Yeah, right. Okay. Play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Oh, yesterday was good.
Spent the day doing some lawns.
Mm.
Mm.
Cool.
Did the lawns.
Come on.
Took my time with the lawns.
You get very excited about your lawns.
I love clearing the schedule for a good day.
Did you do the lines and the lawn like a proper rugby stadium?
I do my best.
Look, I'm running some cooier grass.
It's not the best grass in the world.
Especially lately, we've had like five frosts in a row
and it's feeling bad.
Did the lines.
Yesterday, we went diagonal because you're supposed
to change the direction that you mow.
Okay.
I've been horizontal.
I've been vertical.
I'm going one diagonal.
I'm going to go to the other diagonal next time.
It's good lawn stuff.
I just literally saw the producers yawning.
They can take a break.
Take five.
I got this.
I feel you, sis.
I got this.
So it was lawn stay yesterday.
It's an exciting weekend for you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got out the edge trimmer and did all the side of the driveway,
the concrete straight up there, went round,
makes it easier around the trees with that
so you can do the right on lawnmower.
Cool, man.
It was all going beautifully.
It was a beautiful day.
Yep.
Lovely weather.
Love that for you.
Had a full charge of my bloody noise-cancelling earmuffs
so I could listen to podcasts and educate myself on different manner of things.
Cool.
Got to the end of it, time for a tidy up, got out the leaf blower, went around blowing
all the grass bits off the concrete.
You love your toys, don't you?
Love them.
Love them.
So then I got into the pool area and I was doing a clean out in there with the leaf blower,
blowing all the bits and pieces off.
Then I was like, because I'd been cleaning the pool, I thought I better put the cover
back on the pool. So I was like, because I'd been cleaning the pool, I thought I better put the cover back on the pool.
So I put the leaf blower down.
Wait, you were doing the blowing around the pool
with the cover off?
When I was blowing stuff away from the pool.
Oh, okay.
I walk around the edge of the pool
blowing it away from the pool.
Yeah, right.
Now I put the leaf blower down.
I didn't turn it off.
Okay.
So then I'm fidgeting about with the pool,
getting that all sorted,
and I turn around and I see the leaf blower
dancing towards the pool.
And so I haul ass to get around to it,
and the leaf blower's like, no.
And I go, and it vibrated its way.
And I just watched the leaf blower go,
oh, my God.
I grabbed it by the snout and I pulled it out.
Was it still going?
No.
Oh, no.
She's gone.
It was steaming.
Can you fit one of those in the hot water cupboard?
I'm imagining it's like a smartphone.
No, put it in some rice.
I need like a...
You know when you see like those big sacks of rice
and you're like, who's using that much rice?
That guy whose leaf blower fell in the...
I wonder if that would work.
Can you please try?
No, because then wouldn't the rice...
Doesn't rice work because there's no...
The things you use, like your phone,
there's no gap big enough on a phone for rice to get into.
But if I put the leaf blower in rice,
it would just be full of rice and not water now.
And then I would start it and I'd have a different sort of problem.
Yeah.
Oh, what a horrible day for you.
I feel like we should start you a GoFundMe.
I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm really glad that you've put that forward.
Losing your leaf blower in the pool.
In the pool.
Oh, wait, how will you survive this?
I don't know.
I mean, my only hope is to dig deep and rebuild.
Yeah.
At this stage.
We need to start a new feature like the weekend of the one percenter.
Yeah.
Well, then I was talking to Hosking.
He helicoptered back from the lifestyle block.
Yeah.
And I said, how did you get in on this?
I've got to get in on this helicoptering back to the city.
He wouldn't tell me.
Yeah, no.
I think it's called earning way more money.
Yeah.
We can only, we hope.
So do you have to buy a new leaf blower now?
Well, I don't know.
We have to pick up the leaves manually.
Oh, again.
I will not.
Oh, let's add to that GoFundMe.
Yeah.
Babes.
But I thought that's what the GoFundMe is.
A rake.
We'll get you a rake.
I mean, I'm assuming that's how much we'll raise.
The disgust on your face at the thought of a rake.
A rake.
Well, that'll teach you for vibrating the leaf blower into the pool.
It danced across.
It was like, cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha, cha-cha-cha-cha.

I feel like we spoke about this recently, how people split bills in relationships because some people have separate money, which baffles me.
Yeah, like they just have their own accounts.
They never have a joint account.
Yeah.
This tweet has gone viral because it's a different take.
It's a hot take on money
In a relationship
And how you split it
I know this will be a hot take
For people
I know this won't be a hot take
For people with sense
But the division of financial responsibility
In a relationship
Should be equitable
Not equal
So if you make three times
What your partner does
You should pay more
Because you can
Do a two-1 split
and cover 70% of the bills.
Nah.
But that makes sense,
right? You earn like three times as much,
you can afford to get dinner more.
No, well maybe they shouldn't
want to go out for dinner as much.
Maybe you can go out for dinner and they can
just eat noodles at home. Yeah, right.
If you're in a relationship though, like a long time, like a long time,
that's why you put it into one account, right?
Because then essentially you are.
The person who earns more money is just paying more, right?
Because everything comes out.
Yeah.
But I guess if you're just starting dating
and one of you earns way more than the other,
like that could get really contentious.
Well, yeah, and then the other person could feel like they always have to, I don't know,
spend more or maybe borrow more or tick it up.
And then what if the person who doesn't earn as much is like,
can we go to this expensive restaurant?
Oh, that's cheeky.
And you're like, well, no, because I'll end up paying.
Yeah.
And it's going to cause.
So you're saying the person that pays also
has the ability to
lord it over the person that doesn't. No!
You can't lord it. No.
Because that's going to end up...
Right, I'm reading between the lines here, Pappas.
What you're telling me is to lord this over
people. You're saying everybody who's...
Okay, what if...
Okay, she's winking at me now. She's saying find subtle
ways to lord it over.
That means the person who doesn't eat, like, not that I agree with this,
but the person who doesn't earn as much would feel like they'd never be able
to suggest what you're going to do.
And I agree with you, Megan.
They shouldn't be able to suggest.
They should follow your lead as the bread earner.
Yeah.
Yeah, gotcha.
What's that?
What are you mouthing?
Slave.
I don't know if I'd go as far as call them your slave.
But, you know, again, I'm not disagreeing with you.
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it.
If you've been with someone for a long time,
you're not going to care, are you?
Yeah.
I don't think it would last a long time.
No.
If you're splitting hairs when it comes to money.
Imagine it would not be a fun person to be in a relationship with.
Yeah, like you owe me $42 for that weekend out.
It would be so hard to be in a relationship with someone
who earned like way more money than you, I reckon.
I reckon I could do it.
Oh yeah, 100%.
I reckon I could probably do it.
As long as they were willing to give you some.
I reckon I could relax into that.
Not working.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, definitely.
Just, yeah.
So we asked on Instagram about this and splitting the bills.
Do you do this with your partner?
Somebody said pro rider.
He earns more, so he
pays more. We split about 60-40%
That would be their ratio.
Somebody else said we split everything 50-50.
But they earn different
amounts. Doesn't say.
They don't say. Somebody else said
50-50, but I do earn more than
him, so I put more into our
house deposit and pay more for extra stuff.
But like, you're getting a house together.
You're with someone. Yeah. And if you
had a joint account, you'd just be paying more anyway.
Someone else said it all comes out of our joint
fund if they go out.
50-50, we both use it. I pay for groceries.
He pays for big ticket items.
We alternate who pays for what,
someone else says. And someone says
half everything except he pays for Sky so he can watch sports.
That's on him.
I don't watch any sports, so you have to pay for that.
But then you want to go watch sports and you're watching the E! Channel.
The Kardashians or something, yeah.
Yeah, you're still getting the benefit, aren't you?
You just do that when he's not home.
Gotcha.
Make sure you change your back.
And then you go to turn on sports and it's on the E! Channel.
I'd be asking for a $10 fee every time you were doing that.
Yeah, it gets hard, doesn't it, when it comes to money?
Well, some of those countries that some countries or places have brought in speeding tickets,
if you earn more, you pay more.
Right.
That's getting back to that whole equity thing, isn't it?
It kind of seems fair, doesn't it?
Unless you earn more.
I mean, yeah, I don't know.
I don't want to get into it.
I feel like there's going to be an argument.
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
102-0 was the score when the All Blacks played Tonga
at Mount Smart Stadium over the weekend.
I didn't watch it at all.
I don't want to.
No, I just saw the news alerts come through,
and I was like, oh, that's a hiding.
But, you know, they did try their best, didn't they?
Ouch.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
102.
Did the All Blacks feel like, you here you go, you have a go?
No, they don't want them to do that.
When you got, what, pity points?
Yeah, no.
That's a different stream than me and Tom,
or I'll take any points, pity or not.
No one wants pity points.
They'll be like, we're going to pretend to tackle you
and you pretend to fend us off and we'll throw it.
I'll be like, thanks, guys.
This is international rugby, not like kids rugby.
I don't care.
Oh, why do they keep scoring points?
We have learned our lesson.
Like if you were in cricket at school,
if you were scoring too many,
like they'd sub you off at like 30 runs or something.
So if you were just like leagues above.
Or if you were too good,
they'd like sub you off to let other kids have a go.
Whenever the other team got like heaps of points
and you hadn't got any yet,
I'd just throw the ball down and be like,
I don't want to do this anymore.
You're a big suck.
You've won.
You've won.
There was a game of hockey where i
think i just like put out the feelers to the team we're not we're just chucking them half time
i don't feel like we're gonna score here i don't feel like we're gonna win
this isn't close it's a trouncing what was your um biggest hockey defeat it was against i remember
it it was against umauraki Plains College
but unfair.
In Ngati,
they had their own turf.
Like Ngati had nothing
else going for it.
Tea rooms,
that weird crystal museum
where you can get an opal or two.
Good tea rooms.
I've had a good Lamington there.
Yeah, yeah,
not a bad tea rooms.
Not a bad tea rooms.
But they had a turf.
Like an Astro turf.
Yeah.
In the late 90s,
2000s.
We didn't have, we had a field, a grass field,
and no one rolled it or anything.
No one cared.
You just said there's not much else there.
Let them have their turf.
That's why I'm kind of like, okay, you have your turf.
Right.
But it meant that their hockey team was like.
Real good.
So their rugby team was good, but like because hockey was there,
they got a lot of the people who were just great athletes.
Oh, right.
Okay.
It sounds like a lot of excuses from you.
Oh, no.
I'm not excusing it.
They obliterated us.
How much?
It was in the 20s to nil, which in a game of hockey is a savaging.
That's 103 nil.
Our goalie cried at the end.
Oh, the goalie.
I couldn't stop them. I'm like, bro, no. Oh, the goalie. I couldn't stop them.
I'm like, bro, no, no.
Nobody could stop them.
Paul would seduce that.
I wanted them drug tested at the end of it.
They definitely would have failed the weed one,
but I mean, that's not a performance enhancer.
How did you make the rep team?
His mom was the coach.
This is well established.
That's right, yeah.
She wasn't a coach until it already made the team.
Until you beat the team.
She stepped up at that stage.
But no, it was an obliterating.
Yeah.
Yeah, and that was the game we were at halftime
where it was already like 11-0.
I was like, should we just,
they can't stop us from going home.
Yes, I get a bit sulky as well.
I don't like losing.
Who plays to lose?
It was kind of sulky slash just like demoralising.
We could just say to them, hey, look, we're getting smashed out there.
Why don't you guys play each other for the second half?
We've got a 40-minute drive back to Morrinsville.
See you later.
Thanks for the obliterating.
I mean, there's no doubt who the better team was here. I don't mind
losing, but there's a difference between
losing and not scoring and getting
smashed. And just getting absolutely thrashed.
We thought on the back of the
Tonga 101, was it 2-0
or 103-0?
We wanted to talk this morning, open up the phone lines
about your monumental sports defeat.
How bad did you lose
a game?
Was it with a score in the hundreds?
Or was it without scoring?
And were you a sore loser about it?
Or did they mismatch your teams?
Like maybe you were playing in the wrong league accidentally.
Oh, the wrong grade.
Yeah, when you do really well in grading and then never again, never win another game.
That's why in grading, I remember the indoor cricket,
you'd always throw all the games.
Yeah.
So you get in the bad.
So you get in the bad in the good league and you're way better.
And then everyone who deserves to be in that grade
gets absolutely thrashed by your team.
Because it's about winning, Megan.
It's not about losing.
I often think that with like the under 85s, the KGs in rugby,
if there's a really good team in the under 85 KGs,
make them play the big boys.
We'll see how good they are when a dude's got 50 kgs on them.
We are talking now
your biggest ever sporting defeat
after the trouncing of Tonga
at the weekend by the All Blacks.
Yeah.
God, they played hard
with a lot of heart.
A lot of heart.
You know, it's not nice to watch.
You want a close game, don't you?
Just sporting events on the whole with crowds and stuff,
we should be thankful for at the moment.
Well, yeah, exactly.
That's true.
We're back in business, baby.
More than a lot of countries have.
Yeah.
So we want to know your biggest sporting defeats this morning.
There are some great stories coming through.
Toby's called up.
Toby, you went all the way to Lithuania.
Yes, that's right.
Okay, and what sport was that for?
That was for ice hockey.
So it was the New Zealand World Champs over in Lithuania.
We were in the B-Pool sort of second or third division, and we went over there and played against Lithuania were in the B-Pool sort of second or third division.
And we went over there and played against Lithuania
and, yeah, and other teams like that.
And, yeah, we didn't do the best, to be honest.
What was the score?
Against Lithuania, it was 25 to 4, I think it was.
Oh, that's an ice hockey.
That's a hiding, isn't it?
Yeah, and I was the backup goalie,
so I jumped on for about, I don't know,
seven minutes and led through seven goals.
I always wonder, because I know that you get them under the,
they mostly go under the legs, don't they?
They're quite low, aren't they?
Why don't they get a really big, fat person?
Well, I'm pretty big myself, so it still goes through.
Because you have all the pads.
And all the pads too.
Are you allowed to lie on the ground in front of it?
Yeah, but they'll just shoot it over top of you.
No, but get another guy to lie on top of you
and then use the other guys to score the goals.
Is that allowed?
I wish it was that easy, but it's not quite as easy as that, unfortunately.
Yeah, I don't know if you think that.
You only have one goalie, not two.
So the guy lying on top of you would have to be wildly underpadded
and just take one.
Yeah, but I'm saying that if you're allowed to lie on top of another player,
if there's nothing to stop you, you've just covered the goal.
You're literally allowed to have a fisticuffs in the middle of the...
There's a lot going on on ice hockey that you don't understand.
Thanks for sharing, Toby.
We are some text messages in of other massive defeats.
Also, I want to know
how well New Zealand,
if we lost 25-4
to Lithuania
in like the third,
second or third division,
like imagine if we played
Russia or Canada.
Oh my God,
it'd be 100-0.
It'd be Atonga
versus All Blacks
all over again.
Someone said,
I was selected to represent
our school,
our small rural school
at a inter-school
cross country.
Okay.
I thought I was a pretty good runner.
It turns out our school must have been terrible
at running because by the time I got to the
finish line for the cross-country, everybody
else had finished and most people had started packing
up to leave.
You shouldn't be allowed to pack up
until everyone's crossed the finish line.
It's like when they start packing up the marathon cones and people
are still going.
That's why I'm not running a marathon. I mean, one of the
reasons. Have you ever done one of those slow pack-ups
where you're waiting for people and you're like,
and you just like pick up a cone, but you're
kind of like, da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, that's
you whenever we have a party at your house
and it's nine o'clock. Oh no, there's nothing slow
about that pack-up. It's like,
lights on, be like, alright, this bag's for rubbish,
this bag's for a sucker, and get out of
my house. So we're picking up the hints here, Vaughan.
Somebody said we got absolutely obliterated at cricket,
but the problem was they went first in batting.
So they put some massive score on us and then bowled us out for nothing,
whereas if you're going to get obliterated in cricket,
it's best you bat first.
Yeah, and then you're home early.
So then they only have to beat 30. Your score,
yeah. Someone said,
we had it both ways. Definitely
less degrading to do the one where
you bat first and then they just have to chase you.
So if you're a team like that, you win the toss, you want to
bat first. Yeah. Every
time. Just get obliterated, you get to go home early.
Head to the club rooms. A little bit early. I think you're
in the wrong grade if that's happening every Saturday.
Yeah.
Someone said, we did an exchange when I was 14.
We did an exchange with another school for rugby,
but we sent our under 15s and the team, no, sorry,
we sent our first 15, but when we got there,
the team they were playing was the under 15s.
Oh, no.
They just absolutely destroyed them. It was an 89-point hiding.
Oh.
That's rough.
Looks good on the honours board, though, on the school honours board.
Yeah, it does really look good.
And they won't make that mistake again.
Somebody said, when we were in a cycling team,
I was a cyclist and I'd never been on the podium.
And so the other three girls on my cycling team,
when we were approaching the line they went behind me
and strayed to block
the road so no one could get past and I was
in front I was finally going to be on the podium
but then as they were doing that
a girl from another team came up
and went around them onto the
other side of the road which should have got her disqualified
but didn't so then when she got
passed they just gave up on me and chased her down
and they got she got first and they got second up on me and chased her down and they got, she got first
and they got second and third.
And I still never ended up
on the podium.
This chick's like,
why are they going so slow?
And then we're back in.
Our basketball team
got destroyed 200 to zip.
Oh no,
that's so bad.
That sucks.
That's how many points
are scored in a good basketball game,
but they're split evenly between the teams.
Was that a three-pointer every five seconds or something?
They're also not getting any in.
Not a single one.
So it's good.
It happens to lots of people.
It's character building or something, eh?
No, it's not.
It's character destroying.
It could stay with you your whole life, Megan.
I don't know if you've been reading these text messages that are coming in.
A lot of these happened in the 90s.
Very scarring.
ZDM's Fletch, Ronan Megan.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day, at the moment in the Northern Hemisphere, it's summer.
Yes.
And a very dry summer.
We just had the 4th of July celebrations in America over the weekend.
Heatwave in Canada, the hottest temperatures ever recorded in Canada.
They say heatwaves are far more deadly than any other weather event.
We don't think about them because they are always accompanied with, like, days at the beach.
Yeah.
And, like, pina coladas.
Yeah.
Mai tais, mojitos.
I could just run through a list of delightfully fruity drinks that you could drink during a heat wave.
But there's nothing more deadly.
Like, hurricane season doesn't kill as many people as when there's a heat wave. And they called it a heat dome in Canada.
Did you hear about this?
No.
So it's just the way that the weather is made a dome and the heat couldn't escape.
Fantastically explained, Dan.
Thanks for that.
I'm not a meteorologist.
I just saw the news stories, heat dome.
And I was like, that sounds very hot.
It circulated.
It went up.
I got caught creating this heat dome.
Well, in today's fact of the day is in Europe,
forest fires are more dangerous than in other parts of the world.
Want to know why?
Yes, Vaughn, why?
Why?
Because of World War II ammunition and munitions
that were just buried at the end of World War II.
So you may be familiar with World War II,
a period of 1939 through 1945 where Germany took on the world.
They lost.
Yeah.
But the main theatre of battle was mainland Europe.
Now, bombs got dropped all the time.
A lot of bombs didn't explode.
There were situations at the end of the war where it was just easier
to dig a hole and push things in than work out what to do
with all this leftover ammunition or bombs and stuff that didn't work
or were too heavy to cart back across the country.
However, it does mean there's swathes of land throughout Europe
where just under the surface are explosives that still could explode.
Well, Germany's always, little parts are always getting evacuated
because someone's reno-ing their house and they find a bomb.
Yeah, all the time.
Or they're either taking down a building and putting up a new one
and they find bombs like in the cellar or sitting concrete underneath there.
So in the forest, it's not often thought about,
but just under the surface, bombs, et cetera.
So there's this kind of rule,
if there's a forest fire in an area
that there hasn't been a forest fire in
since the end of the war,
they approach it with caution.
Yeah, because it'll...
It's a fire, set up a bomb.
There was even a situation where,
this worked in Sweden,
there was like a little bit of like war stuff in Sweden,
but not like there was down in Germany and France
and around there,
but there was a forest fire.
They dropped a bomb on it,
a specific sort of bomb on the forest fire
to rob the area of oxygen,
which would put out the fire.
So they did it,
but then that bomb set off another bomb
that was in the area.
So they said, that's obviously not a technique we can use
on mainland Europe given how many bombs are under the surface.
We don't want to use bombs to set off more bombs.
So now they've got this situation where if there is a fire in an area
where there hasn't been a fire before, it's like approach with caution.
It's not just charge in with fire engines and try to put it out.
Don't want that cartoon man with his arrow getting maimed.
Blow into smithereens.
Instead of getting a new cartoon.
Yeah.
So today's fact of the day is when there's a forest fire in Europe,
it's just not the fire that's dangerous,
it's all the bombs just under the surface from World War II as well.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Now, I've looked up more about the heat dome.
Go on.
It's where it occurs when the atmosphere traps hot ocean air like a lid or a cap.
Cool, man.
How?
I don't know.
Like high pressure systems.
Read more.
And La Niña Niño.
You read the subheading.
I read a little bit more into this article.
Was La Niña Niño real or was that just global warming?
Remember everyone was like all of a sudden it became a thing.
No, it's a thing.
It's real.
Okay.
I just thought they were like, oh, yeah, no, this is another one of those La Niña summers.
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again.
Actually, it's just, yeah, global warming.
Guys, I was lying.
ZDM, Spledgeforn and Megan.
So, inheritance is what you get when your parents or your caregivers pass away.
And they leave you some money.
Or you might get a big, huge debt.
Do you have to take over a debt
If you're
I don't know I'd be in the bank being like
What's this but this is your mum and dad's mortgage
But I hate them
We didn't talk for years
I hate them
They died before I got a chance to tell them
I hate them
How does that work though
If you were in the will you'd take it over right
You get oh god bags God, bags not.
But if it was debt, if it was debt without any form of reward,
like if it was a mortgage but you got the property.
You could sell, yeah.
You could be like, okay, and then sell the property, right?
And then what if it's debt with nothing?
It's just credit card debt.
I'd be like, sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
My mum was a dumb bitch.
I don't know if'm sorry, my mum was a dumb bitch. I have nothing to do with this.
I don't know if that flies,
that argument.
I can't believe you said that
about your late mother
who ticked up a lot
on her credit card.
That would be so much fun
to say to a credit card person.
I would just,
oh yeah,
even for a couple of thousand bucks
I'd say that about my dad.
Oh my gosh.
Well, I know that
your student loan,
that dies when you die.
It dies with you.
But I think that's like the only thing.
Wow.
Really?
Yeah.
So researchers at the University of South Australia,
they have looked into the changing mindset of young people
when it comes to inheritances.
Yeah.
So apparently younger generations are now starting to think
that no one owes them anything
Even their families
So they're okay with their parents
Spending what would be their inheritance
I feel like this is the parents
Have spent all that saying
No one owes you anything
As a lead up to their retirement
So they can do things like go on trips
And buy caravans and stuff
And no one's questioning it
In my mind it's not your inheritance
until they're gone, right?
Before that, it's their money.
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, obviously there are a few
people that feel that way.
You can't say that's my inheritance.
It's not yours. That's called their money
until they're not there anymore. Then it could
be considered your inheritance.
If they've left it to you.
But they haven't.
So this study looked at how people feel be considered your inheritance if they've left it to you. But they haven't. Yeah.
So this study looked at how people feel.
And is there a percentage of Australians?
Because we've asked on our Instagram poll, FVMZM, how do you feel about your parents spending your inheritance?
And, you know, do you care?
85% are like, nah.
Wow.
And that's good.
But there's still 15% of people out there that are like, yeah,
maybe they should be buying that caravan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which is ruthless.
It's ruthless, right?
Yeah.
I mean, they've worked hard for it, right?
I don't feel like they should just.
But what if they just come from a long line of entitlement, you know,
old money?
Yeah.
How, like, their parents did the same from their parents
and their parents before them.
But then, I don't know, give it another 10 years
of completely unaffordable housing and maybe this view will change
when people aren't able to buy houses.
And I was going to say, if mom and dad want to,
I mean, who am I to begrudge them?
If they're going to leave me something, then go for it.
You've got enough out of them when they've been alive.
Yeah.
They still fill up your car
when they can't see you.
they want to,
so who am I to begrudge them of that?
I'd be like,
I would love to see your parents
leave an order like the SPCA or something.
Oh,
that would be kind of cute.
Like all of it?
All of it?
All of it.
Who is the famous,
is it the Gates?
No,
your brother still gets his
because he told them that he just straight up won it.
Whereas you've dilly-dallied around the subject.
They're just like, well, we'll see, we'll see.
Is it the Gates kids, Bill and Melinda Gates, who said their kids get very little?
A tiny amount, but it's still in the millions and millions of dollars.
Oh, yeah, okay.
So it's not hundreds of millions.
Percentage-wise, yes.
Yeah.
It's not a lot.
It's enough to get by.
Mummy, why are you leaving me $10 million?
That's bullshit. It's Jeff Bezos' wife Mummy, why are you leaving me $10 million? That's bullshit.
It's Jeff Bezos' wife that's just been on a giving away spree.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, she kind of built Amazon up as well in their divorce.
And I know people were a bit miffed when people were like,
she's getting half of it.
Well, yeah, she's fully entitled to half of it,
but she can't give it away fast enough.
Because Amazon stocks have gone up so much.
She's given away, like, I think she's given away billions of dollars
and is worth more now than she was when she got her...
That's insane, eh?
Yeah, she took over half of the Amazon stock
because it's making so much money.
Will you be my mummy?
I was going to say, is she allowed to adopt me?
Is that possible?
Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.
Reddit asked tattoo artists,
what are you sick of tattooing?
Like what do you get asked to tattoo all the time?

I've seen so many of those.
Triangle, circle, line in the middle.
Yeah.
Anchors.
Anchors?
Usually accompanied by the words, don't sink.
What?

Taylor Swift.
It looks like a Taylor Swift album, her latest album.
Looked like a hipster tattoo.
The entire Bible.
The entire Bible.
Oh, anything from the Bible.
Yeah, so I think some tattoo artists are saying in my entire career
I've probably done the whole Bible by now.
Right. Given there's a Bible passage about
how you shouldn't scar your body permanently.
Little moon and
sun combos are some of the most, this is
the list that tattoos have said are the most
commonly requested and they're over
doing them. Palm trees.
In America the Declaration of Independence
is a big one.
Pocket watches surrounded by
roses.
That seems quite niche.
Paragraphs
in Latin.
Like maybe some, get your school motto.
Carpe diem.
Bar codes. What was the
TV show in the late 90s? Dark Angel.
Jessica Alba.
They were genetically engineered and they all had bar codes on them. I remember I was waiting to use an ATM and I saw a guy,
this is like years ago, probably when that TV show had just come out,
and I was like, that is so cool.
And I think Hitman had it as well, the video game that they made.
Timothy Olyphant did that movie.
Tiny cactuses.
Apparently people get tiny cactuses.
The most commonly requested tattoos that tattoo artists Tiny cactuses. Apparently people get tiny cactuses. The most commonly requested tattoos
that tattoo artists are sick of doing.
Latitude and longitude coordinates.
Maybe where you were born
or maybe where you met your wife.
You could have the longitude and latitude
of the Outback in Hamilton.
I'll just get the Outback logo.
Cut the work out of it.
Sugar skulls.
You know, like the Mexican skull.
Mexican is why I don't have a dead look.
Bridges from the local city.
Apparently people are getting bridges.
Big fans of civil engineering.
I like that.
The Hamilton Bridge.
Well, there's seven of them.
Which one will I choose?
A moustache on the inside of a pointer finger
so that you can put it up to your nose
and pretend you've got a moustache.
Tree silhouettes.
Tiny Roman numerals.
Astrological signs.
These are tattoos that tattoo artists are sick of doing.
Face tattoos on
18 year olds because they
haven't probably realised that that's
permanent.
Octopuses.
So many people are getting octopuses that the tattoo artist is doing them.
Somebody said, a tattoo artist said, I'm completely sick of octopus tattoos.
Everyone who has one thinks they're insanely unique and doesn't realise it's a ridiculously popular tattoo.
Really?
Another one, snakes, skulls and snakes coming out of skulls.
And lastly, infinity loops.
And you know one that wasn't on the list? Playboy bunny tattoos. Skulls and Snakes Coming Out of Skulls, and lastly, Infinity Loops.
And you know one that wasn't on the list?
Playboy Bunny Tattoos.
Yeah, because you never get sick of drawing them.
