Because a lot of people were inconvenienced. Oh, yeah. Also by fires now at the moment as well, sadly. All the time, fires just either warming us, cooking our food, or being a general pain in the ass. Yeah, really. warming our arse, cooking our food, or being a general pain in the arse. Yeah. Right? ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletchforn and Megan.

The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletchforn and Megan. Happy Tuesday. Good morning. Hi. Happy Tuesday. It's been happy Tuesday.

I was like, happy what? It felt like we're just, it was going to be like, happy... Something. Arbor Day. Is it Arbor Day, is it? No, I don't know when Arbor Day is. I just always remember that was on the calendars that Mum and Dad had.

I was like... He used to plant a tree. There's a tree about trees, isn't it? Yeah. I was like, I don't know why that's on a calendar. Just to remind you to pick up a tree. Yeah, but it's not a public holiday. Right.

It's Mad Hatter Day. It's Badger Day. I mean, there's a Noodle Day. Badger and Noodle Day. I want everyone to imagine a badger wearing a funny hat eating noodles. Now, there's a Happy Tuesday. That's, yeah. Coming up on the show, the top six.

Yeah, ASB Bank. Do you say ASB Bank? No, because it stands for ASB. It does. It's like saying pin number. The N already stands for number. You're saying personal identification number number. That's what they say on The Answer, isn't it?

ASB. Do they? I don't know. The people who look after your money or give you money that you have to then pay them back more money for having their money. Yeah. They are sponsoring Eden Park. Yes, apparently it's leaked, hasn't it?

It's going to be announced today. Is this the first time Eden Park? Yeah. Because Mount Smart Stadium for years was called Ericsson Stadium. After the Warriors. When the Warriors. Yeah, the cell phone makers. Ericsson. Remember When the Warriors. Yeah, the cell phone makers.

Ericsson, remember those? Wow. Yeah. And then, of course, you've got your stadiums around the country. Sky. Sky Sports. They do the Caketon. Stadium do the Caketon and Wellington.

Before that it was Westpac. Yep. Yeah. I mean, then Crushage. Lancaster Park was Lancaster Park for years and then that got sold. AMI Stadium. And Jade before that. Yeah.

So it's the way it is, I guess. ButI Stadium. And Jade before that. Yeah. So it kind of, it's the way it is. But Eden Park's always been Eden Park. Yeah, I guess. But now it might be ASB Park. Maybe struggling a little bit. I mean, people are probably still No sport.

Eden Park. Yeah. But it's going to happen. ASB Park. So I've got the top six features of ASB Park. All right, coming up on the show. Next, Gucci wants to fight toxic gender stereotypes.

Okay. With a very expensive garment. So they're not fighting poverty issues, they're fighting... No, one at a time. Right, okay. Make a line. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

I would say this has been Gucci's mantra for a while because they are fighting toxic gender stereotypes. Right. But it's been picked up because they have specifically released a dress for men. Right. It comes in different colours, but the colour that's been put out there is orange. It's an orange tartan. It has a...

Isn't that what Annie the Orphan Annie wears? And Annie? And the musical Annie? My immediate reaction was... Very similar. Well, it is supposed to hark back to childhood because it's got a Peter Pan collar. It's got a little ribbon

tie waist like if this was blue or green it would be a school uniform right oh it's similar to yeah like a 1930s school uniform yeah yeah um it does come in other colors but i i don't know what they are i mean let's be honest unless you're harry styles you 1,700 pounds. Yeah, so that's like three and a half. That's three and a half-ish thousand. That's just ridiculous. Because everyone's like, yeah, but that's standard for like if you're buying a Gucci dress. That's standard.

You go to Gucci stuff costs. Yeah, girl. That's why you go to Thailand. They had the grass stained jeans last month, didn't they? Yeah. They were 600 pounds. I could give you my old jeans if you want. Gucci are the people that are responsible for dressing

Harry Styles. So this is why you can tell. Like it's been their thing for a long time. Like he wears you know, like lacy jumpsuits and pearl necklaces. Yeah. And I love that about him, that he's confident enough to pull it off.

But he can pull it off because he's hot. The creepy thing about this dress is it looks like you're trying to look like a little kid. There's something very childlike about it. So it's not even the fact that it's breaking the gender norms. It looks like the guy, that model is trying to trick you into thinking he's a little kid.

I was waiting for one of the comments was like, I can't get over the fact that this just looks like two kids on top of each other, shoulders, trying to get into a bar. But most of the comments have nothing to do with the fact that a guy's wearing a dress. It's just that the dress is ugly. Ugly and super expensive.

Someone's like, yeah, it's $3,500. Just go to the Salvation Army and you can probably get it. 100% looks like something you could get from the Nana bin at the Sally's. But I don't, I mean, I don't mind it. It's supposed to, it's styled to be worn over top of like ripped jeans. Okay, so Mr. Toyboy turns up. He's like, I've been shopping. Sit down on the couch.

Because you know when you buy something new, you sit your partner down and you do a parade for them. Yeah. And he comes out. Fashion parade. He comes out in that. To be fair, I probably would have rather him started with like something cuter than that like even though you know how i pitched the lace jumpsuit like i would have rather started with that but i mean he wouldn't it's so hard

it looks terrible i just if it wasn't orange would help I would hit the roof Even if Sade said 1700 pounds How much was it again? 3,500 Look

She just wouldn't No 3,500 dollars Crazy No way Plus you're going to walk past a primary school and they're going to

call the police Yeah 100% I mean the thought was there. Yeah, yeah. Oh, they missed the mark by a mile. For the backstory, during the first US presidential debate, Donald Trump failed to condemn white supremacy. And when a group called the Proud Boys were mentioned,

he said, stand back and stand by, which is pretty much just saying guns at the ready, lads. If I lose, we're not accepting this. He's white supremacist. Peak 2020. And I'd never heard of the Proud Boys before this. No, me neither. And there was this whole section of like redneck dudes

with bulletproof vests and guns and stuff calling them the Proud Boys, Proud Americans. You know, the usual situation there. And well, it was at that stage that gay Americans were like, you know what? No way. We own this. And started to reclaim the hashtag Proud Boys. And then guys, gay dudes all around the world got on board as well. And we're just like, well, if there's one thing that these redneck, homophobic, racist, gun-toting rednecks are going to hate, it's that we hijack the hashtag with pictures of

dudes kissing and dudes on their wedding day, dudes on their day of adoption. Just dudes. Men enjoying a life with another man in a romantic fashion. And I started seeing it on the internet. I was like, this is cool. Yeah, so just flooded Twitter and Instagram with photos. And people were all sharing it. And it was the Canadian Armed Forces,

the official Twitter account of the Canadian Armed Forces that shared a picture of two men in the Canadian Armed Forces locked in a loving smooch. I love that. In uniform, yeah. And I got a couple of messages yesterday. I just saw like Instagram DMs pop up saying, when did you join the Canadian Armed Services?

I was outside and I was like, I don't get it. And then I got like the third one. I was like, what the hell is happening? But then I thought it'll be a dude with a beard who's wearing a beanie and he's in the Canadian Armed Forces. Classic. Because you get tagged in every guy with a beanie.

100%. And most of the time because people also tag me and say, this is Vaughn. I'm like, ha ha. Because it's just,

it's sometimes. All it is is a beard and a beanie. Yeah. And sometimes it's just a bald dude with a beard. It's baldest is what it is. And beardest. However.

However. However. This dude does, at this angle, bear a striking resemblance. To me, that's not where it ends. Because the guy that he's kissing has the exact jawline and shaved head of Fletch. It looks like we're kissing on the mouth. The first time I saw that picture yesterday, someone just wrote, can you see it? And I was like, is that porn?

And then I saw your wife comment, holy shit. Now, I believe if we go to the social media desk, Mountie, you've put the photos up on Facebook and Instagram. And how's the engagement been? It has been overwhelming. Yes, overwhelming. Give the people what they want. Yes.

More gay content. I love, in the background there's a guy, and you can only see a little bit of his face, and someone says, is that Patrick Gower taking that photo back? They're like, everyone in this photo could be a New Zealander. But yeah. It does look, it photo could be a New Zealander. Wow. But, yeah. It does look, it's very straight, like doppelgangers.

Yeah. That's the word we need to use here. But that's the thing. I wanted to find the guys because you can't see your one's face just the side. The jawline, the shaved head. Like, how you have your facial hair. You look completely different. I know, that's what. Don't ruin it.

But it's just that angle. I had a little bit of a look last night, but there was no names in the photo. It's not like Sergeant Major Barry. Steve Barry. Locks lips with... Imagine if his name was Vaughn too. Oh, it would be

a lot. But I tell you what, it did get people quite excited in the comments, Megan. That's what I said. Give the people what they want. TV One Breakfast weather presenter, Maddie McLean. Said, this is my new red tube. Dreams are coming true. This is what the Google search has been about for years.

Yeah. Well, this is. That used to be the way. I haven't Google searched that for a while. Shall I try? Ah, Fletch. I mean, I've had two kids that have been married 10 years. You'd think it would have dampened down slightly.

No, it doesn't. Autofill for me. It doesn't come up. Ah, Fletch and Vaughan. It just... No, it just goes, how old are? That's the... Oh.

I like it better when people want to know if we're gay or not. Not old. Yeah, how old are Fletch and Vaughn? It's not doing it for you either. Nah. Is it doing it for you? Because it's different for everyone's Google search, isn't it? Just type in R...

R... Fletch. And Vaughn. What does it say? I just put is... How old are... Fletch. And it says, is Fletch from ZM single?

Oh, okay. Oh, hot. Well, it's probably this photo. It's probably this photo. Is Fletch a building in a New Zealand owned company? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. From the self-driving ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

ASB. ASB Park. The name is yet to be decided, but ASB Bank, even though the B stands for bank. It's a real sticky point, isn't it? It doesn't feel right saying it. It's like when someone says, enter your PIN number. I'm like, it stands for personal

identification number. Well, Eden Park sold the naming rights to ASB Bank. They call themselves ASB Bank. I'm just going to roll with ASB Bank. It doesn't feel right. Okay. Sometimes you got to do things and they don't feel right. Yeah.

It's life, baby. It is. But it could be renamed to any minute. They could get, it just, it could be ASB Park. It could be Stadium Arena. It could be renamed to any minute. It could be ASB Park. It could be Stadium Arena. ASB Eden Park. Yeah. I don't know.

They've probably paid an agency several hundred thousand dollars to come up with that name, even though they probably could have just done it themselves in a five-minute staff meeting. Anyway, that's how agencies work. But we're not here to discuss that. So there's going to be a Bledisloe Cup game there because Auckland's gone back to level one.

Yeah. Wednesday night? Yeah. So that's when we're going back to level one. Rugby game's on. That'd be a weird night for a rugby game, wouldn't it? Nice though. Midnight. Because we can have the longer evenings. Yep. Kick off at 11.59 Wednesday. Yes. Level one. Boot! And then we're going to have the longer evenings. Yep. Kick off at 11.59 Wednesday. Yes. Level one.

Boot. And then we're away. So the top six today is the top six features, because that's the one thing you can put your name on it, but you've also got to bring a little bit of your brand, don't you? Yeah. The top six are other features of ASB Eden Park. Number six, the hot chip vendors are now behind bulletproof glass.

And if you get too yelly, they can push a button and the screen just goes. Yep. And drops down. I mean, that's good. Yeah. That will protect you. But number five on the list of the top six other features of ASB Eden Park. Speaking of snacks, they also now sell hot peanuts from the Cashin the Elephant Memorial

Peanut Stall. RIP Cashin. And is the elephant yellow? It was a yellow elephant. Yeah. Do you remember? And you get them in a little elephant container. And the stall's yellow.

There's always money in the peanut stall. Yep. Number four on the list of the top six other features of ASB Bank Park Eden Park thingy. The chairs are now comfier. Oh, okay. Because you do a lot of waiting. You know, bank chairs are always just

a nice chair. My bank has low chairs. Oh, okay. I haven't been in for a long time. That's actually unfair of me to say. They might have changed the chairs. They might have boosted the chairs somewhat.

Because it only would have taken a couple of old people aka the only people still going to banks. To not be able to get up. To not be able to get up. To be like, we need some taller chairs. Number three on the list of the top six other features of ASB Eden Park. Ira Goldstein

is now the CFO. Oh my god. Goldstein! From the ads in. Oh, my God. From the ads. From the ads in the 2000s. Yeah. What a blast from the past. I just did a light Google to try to find more about Stephen Mellor, who was the actor that played Ira Goldstein in the ASB Bank ads. And I can't find him on any social medias.

He was born in 1954. I don't think he was a mainstream actor, was he? So he's 60. Are you talking about the boss or actual Goldstein? No, actual Goldstein. Okay, right, yeah. He's not that old. No, I know, but that's why.

He used to be around somewhere. Yeah, he's got to be somewhere, right? He was in Sleepless in Seattle as well. Was he? Yeah, he had a small bit part. I remember him being in a few B-grade movies as well. Like he'd probably be like, Goldstein!

Because everyone in New Zealand just knew him as Goldstein from the bank ads. He was Goldstein for 11 years. That's a hell of a long time to be. They need to bring him back for a retro campaign. But he'd have to be in quarantine

for two weeks. Yeah, that's how the ads start. Oh yeah, he's in quarantine. And he's on the phone to the old boy. Yeah. And like, yeah, boss, I'm going to be in quarantine. But ASB's made banking easy on a mobile app. Because there wouldn't have been mobile apps then, would there?

Man, I mean, what? Pay me money. I'm a bloody one-man advertising agency over here. Get him out. And it's Goldstein. Although, did you know the guy that played the boss, he was Australian. He wasn't even American. He was acting.

Really? Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six other features of the ASP Eden Park is everything's on chains. Pens. Everything that can be moved is on chains. The seats. Brilliant.

The seats. Okay, good. But it's all those little chains. It's all those little pen chains. Those little series of moved. Okay. The seats. Brilliant. The seats. Okay, good. But it's all those little chains. It's all those little pin chains, those little series of balls. Yep. All joined together with a tiny... You could probably yank them off if you really wanted. And number one on the list of the Top 6 other company...

Sorry, other features of the ASB Bank Eden Park is they're secretly rooting for the Australians every time they play there because they're owned by for the Australians every time they play there because they're owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. They can't lose it in the Bledisloe then. Nah, it's a win-win. It's a total win-win. That is today's top six.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. The general election is on the 17th of October. Early voting has started and yesterday, guys I was democratic. You voted? I voted. Yes. Because you know started. And yesterday, guys, I was Democratic. You voted? I voted. Yes.

Because, you know, I like to get these things over and done with. And you don't like to be in a queue or around people. Were there how many? Did you have to queue? So I caught up with a friend at lunchtime and we had a coffee and went and voted. Cute. And because it's level two, it was a little bit like you had to sanitise and then you had to get a pen.

And then you go up to the lady and she finds your name in the big roll, electoral roll and then crosses it out with a ruler and gives you the forms and then you go in the little cardboard booth and then they were like no photos but I was like I'm taking a photo I'm Instagramming this

You were encouraging people to vote I hope you hashtagged. No, I just put it on my close friends story. So I don't want to get in trouble. I got that. Did you hear that? Yeah. Also, I feel like close friends on Instagram,

it's the wrong term. What would you call it? I don't know. I've only got one close friend and it was Sade because I wanted to test close friends. Right. You have to nominate who your close friends are. Annoying.

Could not be bothered. I just send them a WhatsApp. But it was a bit anticlimactic because the pen didn't work. So I had to go back. What kind of pen was it? A felt pen or a poor pen? No, it was just a real cheap white pen. And it didn't work.

So I rubbed it on the box on the voting booth. And that didn't work. That is my every general election. The box have got the scribbles on the wall. Because someone else is like, this pen's not going properly. Someone else had scribbled their pen on there. And you wouldn't want to lick the pen. No.

Because usually if it's your pen, you'll give it a little lick. But then when you're finished with the pen, you put them in a box and they re-sanitise them. Oh, wow. But I don't think that would be a thing in level one. So I got a new pen, voted, done. What is to stop? You know how she rules out your name?

What if you like ran to another election booth and like... Yeah, I don't know actually. Do they just, when they're counting them, they're like, okay, this guy's put in multiple. Yeah, because I think your number's on it. Right. So they could probably see that you voted twice. Yeah, right. If that was the thing. So this is what I wanted to ask.

There was this old lady who would have been like 70 or 80, 80 probably, like retiree, and she had a national ribbon on. And she was just sitting on a chair in the corner, like kind of eyeing everybody. My Auntie Elaine used to do that. Auntie Elaine, did she? But are you allowed to do that? As a little kid, we went to the school on election day

and she was sitting there with a big national badge on and I was like, what is that? Because I didn't know anything. And Mum's like, that's one of the political parties. And then when I got a little bit older and learnt that they had to take down the hoardings on election day, I was like, should she have been allowed to do that? As a kid, I had this big, blue, bloody,

ribbony thing in my mind. And then mum was like, no, I don't think she was supposed to, but it was isolated, cuter voting poll. It's pre-election day, so maybe they are allowed to. That's what I'm wondering also. It is weird that people can vote

at a polling station, yet all the hoarding's still up. But they're doing it the wrong way round. You want someone intimidating. You want like a gang member with a baseball bat wearing the insignia ribbon. She didn't intimidate me into

voting either way. Just a cute little old lady on a chair. She didn't eyeball you on the way in or out? No, she was eyeballing, but it wasn't intimidating. But maybe she was cute. She was weighing up Crusher. See, if she'd had baking, you would have been a swim boater. You're not allowed biscuits or anything. But maybe she was cute. She was weighing up Crusher. See, if she'd had baking, if she'd had baking.

You would have been an easy, you would have been a strong voter. You're not allowed biscuits or anything. You're not allowed anything to coerce them into voting for you. Did you vote in the referenda? I did, yeah. The legalising of cannabis and also the end of life choice. Yeah, I voted in all of it, yeah. What did you do for those ones?

I'm not telling you. Why not? Well, I'm like Jacinda, I'm not. Double yes? I'm not. Of course, you know I'm all about you. Why not? Well, I'm like Jacinda, I'm not. Double yes? I'm not. Of course, you know I'm all about euthanising nannies.

Especially that bloody woman sitting around with her bloody national rosette on. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho, ho. 79 days, 17 hours and five lot like Christmas. Oh, oh, oh, oh. 79 days, 17 hours, and five minutes until Christmas. Did you say 79 days? 79.

So 11 weeks. Is that right? 70. The 70s. Yeah. Yeah, just over 11 weeks. It honestly feels like it was just last week we ticked over to 99 days away. Oh, yeah, we're motoring now.

Wow. And reports of Christmas penetration, while they were a little slow to start with, have ramped up somewhat. We can just write this off to 2020, I think. Yep. For being the reason for a slow start. Well, let's start with a report of baubles aplenty. Emma said, I was in Kmart, and you know where you line up?

Yep. For the exit or the pay. The checkout area. That's what I was after. Checkouts. And often it's lined up with lollies either side. Yeah. It was all Christmas baubles of all different shapes.

Oh, wow. Sizes and colours. Because why don't they just put the checkouts by the door? They want you to get in the middle, don't they, so you buy more stuff. Yeah, I don't know why that changed. There must be some shopping psychology to that. Because sometimes that line for the checkout is ginormous. Yeah.

I'd love to see them put more self-serves in. Yeah, and it weaves and it ties up the middle of the store, doesn't it? Yeah, it's weird. It was an interesting move. Next, for reports of Christmas penetration, Freya sent in a photo of a Auckland Transport bus. Okay. And you might be thinking, how do they get Christmasy?

Does it have a Christmas advertisement on it? The little signs. Yeah, the little digital sign on it. This was in Auckland on last Tuesday, Christmas penetration. It said Merry Christmas on the little digital sign. Yeah, they do. They get a little bit creative because sometimes they have the rail replacement buses and they say, I'm a train choo-choo.

And that makes me chuckle. It always makes me feel happy too. But I don't know if they were just testing the sign or what, or that was just one bus driver's getting, like, do they have any say in what their signs say? I hope so. Getting festive. Well, they push the button in the bus, don't they,

to choose which route displays. Oh, right. So they might be able to scroll down to. Yeah. Because it's like, sorry, not in service. I'd rather just have Merry Christmas. I don't know if they'd be able to write their own, though, or their pre-programmed,

because that could leave that open to a jilted employee. Yeah, someone having a bit of a bad day and telling them. Because I just put sorry not in service all the time and go for lunch. Take it to the beach for the day. Yeah. Rosie's also sent in a report from the warehouse. We have

had the warehouse popping up with Christmas bits and pieces but it's the Christmas cards. The big stall of Christmas cards is out. Oh, yeah. So that's been rolled out in Northlands, the Christmas card stall. And this report as well, Ballantyne's, who love a bit of Christmas. Oh, they do.

Ballantyne's Christmas shop is officially opened. Lower ground floor, which lower ground floor, you call that a basement, don't you? The Christmas store is open. floor, which lower ground floor, you call that a basement, don't you? The Christmas store is open. You can buy stuff there and they've got trees. Lovely. Very like top end looking wooden ornaments. Ooh la la. And a report that

really tickled my fancy. Cameron reported this, spotted at the depot, says Cameron. Cookie time Christmas buckets are out for delivery. And it's pellets, wooden pellets, and on those pellets, massive boxes, and inside those boxes, the buckets of cookies. Oh, yeah. Get in me.

And it says, yeah, Christmas cookies, Cookie Time Christmas cookies on the side. So that's how you know that it's definitely those. All right. So 79 days away from Christmas, and with all that in mind. Elves, get wrapping. Santa's big sack is full of presents and toys. No, the presents. Wrap the presents.

Sorry, boss. Right now, Christmas penetration is at... 48%. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Fleshfawner Megan, the podcast. ZM. Fletchvorna Megan's Audio Ninja Warrior. Well, it's like Ninja Warrior on TV,

except you don't need to be muscly and ripped. You're all just, like, unbelievably strong for your size. Yeah. Sometimes you see them and you're like, oh, they could be really good because they don't look like they weigh a lot. Yeah. Whereas the big muscly people look like they're going to really have to work it because they've got too much muscle.

Audio Ninja Warrior, you need to navigate your way through the course using sound effects. And you need to do it faster than your competitor. We tell you the sound effects as you're about to do it. And joining us today to play Audio Ninja Warrior, Jess, hello. You just looked at the screen. Hello.

Hello, Jess. Sorry, Vaughn was about to introduce the wrong person. Oh, was it? Did you go to Amy? Yeah. I looked up there and I could have sworn. Maybe because I thought green for go. Because Jess is green and now she's red, eh?

Red means on air. Red means on air. Green doesn't mean go. You know how we've worked here for like six and a half years and the phone system's been the same the whole time? Hey, hey, hey, hey. The day we don't learn something is the day something, something, something. Yeah.

All right, Jess. Now, Amy is actually in the cone of silence, so she can't hear the sound effect course. We're going to give you a sound effect, and you've got to make the sound effect, and when we're happy with your sound effect, we move on to the next obstacle.

Okay. All right, are you ready? Amazing. Oopsie, I accidentally opened the calculator on the stopwatch. Where's the stopwatch? There's the stopwatch. Oh, my stopwatch? There's the stopwatch. Oh my God. Are we ready? Okay, Jess,

are you ready? Are you ready? That's a feline of questioning. To be totally honest, Jess. Not wrong, Jess. Not wrong. Not wrong.

He is now. Let's go. Creaky Gate. Oh, that's really good. Baby Crying. Yes. Oh, wow. Chainsaw.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, it says here on the show planner, after Audio Ninja Warrior, which we've just done,

Joseph Parker, who, and the fight has been announced today, his next fight. Yeah, it is going to be on the 11th of December at Spark Arena, the biggest fight in New Zealand history, fight of the century, Joseph Parker Jr. And we welcome into the studio, not Joseph Parker, Executive Intern Anya. What's happened here?

There's been a whoopsie. What is the whoopsie? Did you guys know it's Tuesday today and not Wednesday? Interesting. I would have assumed it was Tuesday as yesterday was Monday. These days, they blur into one. Right. Yeah. Sorry about that.

But yesterday was Monday and you still said that it's tomorrow. Yep. And Tuesday follows Monday. Famously. This is news to me. Wow. This is the first time you've ever done this. I know. I'm so sorry, everyone. I'm sorry, you guys.

I'm sorry, anyone listening. I'm sorry, Joseph Parker and his manager, who I've just frantically called, being like, hey, is Joseph around the corner? No, he's not. I quickly thought maybe I'd better just double check. So, look, it's not a sporting legend, but it is me rambling.

So, it's just as good, I reckon. Wow. All right, tomorrow then. Tomorrow, 7.15. Same time tomorrow, Joseph Parker. Well, I'm going to have to rewrite all of my questions because they were very time sensitive. They were like, what do you think of today's sushi of the day at St. Pierre's? Like, what are you going to get? What's your sushi of the day choice? You're going to have to change it to tomorrow's sushi of the day at St. Pierre's.

Like, what are you going to get? What's your sushi of the day choice? You're going to have to change it to tomorrow's sushi of the day. Yeah, like, what are you doing for Taco Tuesday? You won't be able to ask him that. What did you think of Monday yesterday?

That was another one of my questions. God, all of these can't be adjusted. I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board. All right, well, Joseph Barker on the show tomorrow. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. The Social Dilemma. It is a documentary on Netflix that is creeping people out with their social media. A lot of people deleting it and stuff after this. Yeah, you guys still haven't seen it, have you? No. I'm trying to do a couple watch, but, you know. There's a lot of watch.

And a lot of people say it's like quite scary, like quite, not scary as in like forcing. It's in your face. But quite. Confronting. Yes. Of your own habits. A lot of people, yeah, deleting social media,

different forms, and I'm just like, I don't know. I like my little ignorance bubble at the moment. Yeah. I mean, I don't think there's any, you watching it, I don't think there's anything that would totally shock you. Right. Like, I at the moment. Yeah. I mean, I don't think there's any, you watching it, I don't think there's anything that would totally shock you. Right.

Like, I think you know. Yeah. But it's just a reminder. Calling out, does it call out all social media or primarily Facebook? All. And it talks to a lot of people that used to work in the early days of Facebook and Instagram. Okay. Like, for example, the guy that invented the like button.

The like is in the documentary. Oh, yeah? Mm. So, Mark Zuckerberg and the team at Facebook are like, hey, this is not fair. And they've actually released quite a substantial statement with what is wrong with the social dilemma. Now, first of all, their first point is about addiction.

So, the claim in the social media is Facebook builds its product to create or is like get you addicted to it. Yeah. Addicted to the product. They say it's to create value, not to be addictive. Unused feed teams are not incentivized to build features and increase time spent on our products. That's like an absolute, like how can you even say that?

That's an absolute lie. Like everything about like notifications and everything that loops you in, like you finish watching a video the next one starts. All that is to keep you on the platform. They said in 2008 we changed our ranking for news feed to prioritise meaningful social interactions

and deprioritise things like viral videos. In 2008? 18, sorry. I was going to say. This led to a change and a decrease of 50 million hours a day worth of time spent on Facebook. Yeah, remember that was

when we got the algorithm. Everyone here was like, the algorithm's changed. Then they said, you are not the product. Facebook is funded by advertising so that it remains free for people. Remember what's the old saying?

If you're not paying for something, you're the product. You're the product. That's what they say. Algorithms. Facebook algorithms is not mad, which is what it gets called in the social dilemma. It keeps the platform relevant and useful. So they're saying they're using algorithms

to improve the experience for people, not to be, I don't know, whatever else. Yeah, right. They're saying it's supposed to help improve the experience for you. Right. So that it's only things that you're interested in. Yeah. I mean, I think we all agree.

We're all hooked. We went out for dinner the other night and didn't take phones, mostly because both of our phones were about to run out of batteries, so and didn't take phones. Mostly because both of our phones were about to run out of batteries. So we didn't take phones. Yeah. Had to manually sign in on the COVID registration, which was weird. Although apparently that's dropped by like half, people using that app. I'm still checking in and using it.

But yeah, it was actually really good. We said afterwards it was good. You talk to each other and stuff. Yeah. But there was no just like, you know, even when your phone's sitting on the table and you've got it face down, there's a moment of silence, you just have a little look. And it might not get you every time,

but if it gets you one in five times when you're looking, and you were looking once a minute, because you do, it's just sitting in front of you, that's how stuff works,

it grabs you and then takes you away from the table. Another one they addressed was elections. They said Facebook has made investments to protect the integrity

of elections. They did acknowledge in 2016 investments to protect the integrity of elections. They did acknowledge in 2016 they had some problems, but they said that this documentary has failed to reflect upon the changes they've made since then. Yeah, but it wasn't because they wouldn't talk about the changes they've made since then. Remember last time people asked,

what changes are you making for the next election? And they were like, secrets. A lot of this does sound like Mark Zuckerberg stamping his foot and being like, this isn't fair. We've done things since then. And now he's about to put on way too much sunscreen and go for a surf. Just go out and relax. Also, by the way, it's 10 years this year since Instagram started.

Instagram's 10 this year. Can you believe that? Wow. Wow. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Do you want your intro? Megan's baby diary. Thank you, Fletch.

I went to get a pregnancy massage. Very lovely gift from my show colleagues, actually. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you, everyone here. So I didn't actually know what that involved, but you get a massage on your side and they put pillows under you. What's it called?

Mama something. She's got them all the time when she's pregnant. She's like, I need one. And I'd be like, okay. I almost enjoyed it more than a normal massage. I just lie on my side. I fell asleep a couple of times because I caught myself snoring.

Do you want to borrow my massage gun? Nah. Oh my God. Hold on baby. It's great for the knots. But so yeah I recommend one person said to me look if you

have got a pregnancy massage get it earlier because I left it till real late. And then I realised I should have been getting them the whole time. Right. Because it's so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Basically, that's what happens. It's not the massage, though, that I want to talk about.

I had, and like, I honestly don't mind. Lots of people give you advice. Some people's advice is to don't take advice. And that's, all of it is welcome, honestly. But it wasn't so much advice, just more a heads up of something that happens and this was at the massage.

The person who was like, you know, you fill in a sheet of everything about you and she said to me, now when I was pregnant, my feet changed and I was like,

oh yeah, they swell, like your ankles swell and your sore feet. She said, no, like they grew and they didn't go back. They changed size. So she went from a seven to, she said, now an eight and a half or a nine on both feet.

Are you kidding me? No. I was like, no, and never went back. And apparently not. That's a decent change in size. That's the first thing. I went, do your feet, and then it auto-filled to grow after pregnancy. And yeah, after pregnancy, women have bigger feet.

Pregnancy may increase a woman's foot size, a change that appears to be permanent, according to a new study. Not everybody. Not everybody. Yeah. But panic ensued, because... You have a hell of a shoe collection I have a shoe cabinet

And some of them are quite expensive aren't they? I Yeah Depends who you're asking Oh yeah they're not expensive to Megan You're asking Mr Toyboy She's had them for ages And now she's got them on like special

Yeah and Some of them before we were together Yeah But what am I supposed to do there? Also then she went on to tell me that her sister had like a cute little button nose and then got pregnant

and afterwards she said her nose widened and she referred to her as Princess Fiona. The green one. From Shrek. The green Princess Fiona from Shrek now.

And she said her nose widened and never went back. So not only like your feet could grow, but your facial structure could change. I just Googled that. True as well. Got some terrible news to break to you about your vagina. Out the sunroof.

Go out the sunroof. I went out the sunroof. Yeah. Never looked back, did you? No. Okay. I mean, I know I've never given birth or been involved in having a baby. But how have I got this far in my adult life and never heard that a woman's feet grow during pregnancy?

Did you know that? No. I assume Sade's didn't because she's, yeah, the same. She wouldn't see it. Yeah, yeah, surely. Yeah, it obviously doesn't happen to everyone, but it can. That is mind-blowing. But I guess it's like a hormonal cocktail growing a baby in Shiger.

It happens. I'm a female, never been pregnant or anything like that before, but like known women. The amount of things you're like, who, what? That happens? I never knew that. Maybe they tell you this stuff, but they tell you after the, where it comes out and your mind's just like stuck on that.

So you don't hear all the following. Yeah. The follow up tidbits. Okay. Well, I would love to know if this has happened to people. Have you experienced a physical change that has stayed? Whether it was your feet growing, something on your face changing? The nose thing I

just googled and it says swelling but did your friend's nose stay that way? Her nose stayed that way. It completely changed. Wow, okay. Because Kim Kardashian's lips went bigger and everyone accused her of getting lip injections but she said it was pregnancy.

But that was the baby. Wow, okay. All right, well, I'll wait $100,000. That's the number, 9696. I'm finding this absolutely fascinating. What changed during pregnancy? And didn't go back. Maybe your feet grew and you had to throw out all your shoes.

I'd love to hear from someone that can tell Megan that because that would be hilarious. Just cut the ends out of them and just poke your toes through. Make them all peep toes. Megan, you found out during a massage that feet can grow and stay a different size after pregnancy. I knew about foot smelling and all that

and maybe you couldn't wear your shoes until afterwards, but I didn't realise some people's feet stayed... Larger. Larger. Yeah. Are we just talking physical changes? Somebody said there's been, they were pregnant

and they wouldn't have called their sexual appetite thirsty before. Oh, okay. Ever since they totally changed their sex drive. Really? Not just during pregnancy, but since. No, then afterwards. Oh, wow. After the baby, they've had a far higher sex drive.

Well, I guess that affects everything, right? That's interesting. Hormones. Because you hear it go the other way as well. So I guess. Yeah, right. And that's, we've had so many people messaging about their hair. I would say the most common text we had in was about a change of hair.

I remember Sade said she felt like her hair was thicker and you could see it. And then after the kids were born, the hair all fell out, like molting it. Right, like a cat going into summer. Yeah, exactly like that. Like all over the pillow and the shower and everything. And people saying that their hair went from super straight to like tight ringlets. Did she get furballs and cough up on the duvet? Yes.

I told her to stop licking it, but she wouldn't be told. They just can't. She wouldn't be told. Megan, what changed during pregnancy? For me, I got alopecia. Really? Wow. So you went the opposite of everyone we're hearing from

that's hair went full thick and stayed in. Yours all fell out. Yeah, completely. Everything. Yeah. And did it stay like that after pregnancy too? About six months. But they told me that it wouldn't grow back at all.

But it has. Wow. And so did you lose everything? Did you have head-to-toe alopecia or just spots? Yeah, yeah, head-to-toe, yeah. Wow. And then six months later it grew back? Yeah.

And where are you at now? How long ago was that? Four years. And your hair's all grown back? Yeah, it's nearly down my lower back. Wow. That's crazy. And did you know that was even a thing

or any of this was a thing before you got pregnant? No, apparently alopecia during pregnancy is pretty rare. Yeah, right. Okay. Wow. And you've just been pregnant the once? Yeah, yeah. I'm too scared to do it again.

Yeah, well, what if it doesn't grow back? Yeah, exactly. Wouldn't you? Yeah. And then you'd have to resent that kid the whole of their life because you made mummy bald. That's how parenting works. Thanks for your call, Megan.

Sarah, what changed during pregnancy? I grew hairs in strange places that have stayed growing. Okay. They've stayed growing. Whereabouts, if we may ask? On my chin and around my knees. Around your what? Nipples.

Oh, God, your phone cut out. We were just like, I don't know if that's a body part. Right, so. Oh, God, how do you pluck those? You just, you pluck. Yeah. Wow. How many?

Or is it more of a case of a coarseness in a few or lots in thin? Oh, no, it's like a few fine, you know, here and there around the areas. Yeah. Not too bad, but very noticeable. Right. Do you think off and on we'll do the laser on the nips? That would hurt, hey? Oh, good man.

You could. You could if you went in a long-term relationship and you're trying to impress someone, I guess. But if you've given up, don't worry about it. I let myself go. Hey, Sarah, brilliant. Thanks for your call. Sean, what changed during pregnancy?

Yeah, my younger sister, she had a baby a while ago. Her fingers grew. What? Out of all things, yeah, her hands grew quite, her fingers are quite long now. Right. Short, stubby hands. What?

To long fingers? Yeah. And did she have to get new gloves? Like your ski gloves and your winter gloves, you'd have to be like, buy the next size up. Yeah, yeah. Brilliant. Hey, Sean, thanks for your call.

Some text messages. I developed a whole bunch of new allergies during pregnancy that have never gone away. Oh, wow. Is this making you feel comfortable with your upcoming pregnancy? Yeah. It's crazy. I guess growing a body inside you would have effects on your body.

Yeah, for sure. I already had a big nose. So when I got pregnant, I hurt people's feet getting bigger, which didn't bother me. But my nose swelled up three or four times its normal size. It did go back to normal, but it was concerning for a moment then. Yeah. Wow.

My boobs were double A's before, and they went to a D, and they're still that 30 years later. So it changed the boobs totally. Wow. I had to get my wedding rings resized as my hands got bigger and never went back down. But they weren't swollen.

They were just bigger hands. So there's another story of the bigger hands. My eyesight improved. Really? I had to get my glasses prescription changed. I went to the optometrist and they said, oh, your eyes have actually got better. That does occasionally happen during pregnancy.

Wow. So some things are like beneficial. Yeah. But at the moment, the list of potentials, your feet could get bigger and you'll lose all your shoes. Your nose will go massive. And your already fine eyesight couldn't get better. So it'd probably go worse.

And the nips and the hair. Yeah, right. Okay. But there's a prize at the end for all your suffering. Yeah. That will one day say, I hate you. I hate you. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

School holidays at the moment, and we've had a lot of signs popping up around our house. Okay. I think I remember this. Our previous school holidays, there seemed to be a real sign buzz, but now the signs have got a little bit competitive. Signs get put on every door of the house. Okay.

Different signs. And are you not allowed to go into rooms? Yeah, there's certain rooms where you're not allowed to go into. Staff only, it says on one of the rooms. That was apparently when hotels was being played at home. It was staff only. And what have we got at the moment? It started yesterday with a do not come in sign, which then changed to I'll just confirm it. Yeah, Indy's room. Go away if you're not on the list. Do not come in sign. Okay. Which then changed to, I'll just confirm it. Yeah, Indy's room.

Go away if you're not on the list. Do not come in. Were you on the list? Well, that's the thing. There was no list. So then obviously that had to be added when inquiries were made as to where this list was. The list of people that can come in my room was then added. Friends.

It's a bit non-specific, isn't it? Mum and dad. So there you go. I'm on the list now. Indy, on her own list, just to clarify. She's allowed in her room. And animals, animals on a whole are allowed in her room. But not her sister. But not Augie.

Well, yeah, I'm not sure because August had one on her room that was pretty much the same. Okay. And they have competitions on who's got the nicest handwriting. And their rooms are right opposite over the hall from each other. So they can open their door and see the other person's sign if anything's changed and then

make those changes to their sign. But are they fighting? Nah! Because that's what I said. What's going on here? I did that dad thing where you walk into a situation that's already well underway and you're like, Alright, what's going on? And you're that dad thing where you walk into a situation that's already like well underway and you're like alright what's going on? And you're all of a sudden

the most aggressive person in the room but that's dad's things and they're like no we're just making signs for our doors. I said well I don't know if I'm happy with sellotaping

on the door. Oh yeah I was never allowed to sellotaping. Wow you got to say that. Dad move I know. We were never allowed to. We had plain wooden doors but you were never allowed to. We had plain wooden doors. But you were never allowed

to stick. Oh, I think we used Blu-Tack. But you had to always roll off. Roll off. You've got to remember the Blu-Tack rule. Push on.

Roll off with the phone. And Blu-Tack also, you couldn't leave it on for a long time with an oily bit in it which would stain. Yeah. And that was a big problem.

There's no respect for the wood because wood would stain. But wood wouldn't pull off if you had sellotape on it. But regardless, irregardless, we weren't allowed. But then signs. So Indy's got a big sign. August's got a big sign. We've got a sign on our door.

I didn't make it. Shada didn't make it. It's like mum and dad's room. Okay. Stay out. Right. So that's good. That's been set it out.

All with sellotape on the door? All with sellotape on the door. But the sign that took the prize was I found this sign because this is a temporary sign. Okay. It's for the toilet door. It says, stay out. I'm currently taking a big fat poo. They're your kids, eh?

And I found out that they will put that on the toilet door after I go in. Really? Yeah. So I don't know if I was the original target of this poo shaming. Right, okay. But now it just gets used when someone goes into the toilet. Somebody else has to stick the sign on the door to indicate to the rest of the family that someone's in there taking it.

I mean, the little locked sign, you know, you can tell when the door's locked. Yeah. Because the little thing's twisted around. But that wasn't enough. It needs a big sign with quite bold orange text too. Yeah, right. Okay. So if you guys want some signs, I've got a couple of little sign writers in the making

that I can put to work this afternoon for you. Thanks. Are you going to leave these signs up when people come over? The last sign stayed up a long time. I said to Shadow, why are we leaving those up? And she's like, I'm scared to pull the sellotape off because it's been on there for so long it might take the paint so it could survive a little bit.

I'm just saying, I don't want to be poo-shamed when I go in the toilet. I know. You go in and everyone's like, quick, Megan's in there. Big fat blue sign on the door. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Okay, TikTok Tammy man. He's gone viral for a video about tampons. His name is Chris Patron.

And basically he was asked by someone why he has so many tampons and pads in his house. Who asked? Wait a minute. You know how on TikTok you put up a little box and it's like reply to whoever and you share the question. But had he done a video where someone had seen the tampon? Must have. Did he have like a bouquet of tampons in the background? He's got a little box, a little container that's got various.

And they're kind of sticking out. Yeah, so the question was, hey, I'm new here. Why do you have so many tampons and pads in your house from Natalie? And this is what he said. I live alone. I'm a single guy and I have some friends who are women. I'm also interested sexually in women, so I might have some women come over. So in order to make sure that every guest in my home feels comfortable and taken care of,

I like to have tampons, pads, Midol, things like that in my bathroom stocked up for them just in case and just as a way to be more considerate to the needs of others. Right. And he shares his the needs of others. Right. And he shares his little box of goodies. Midol is a drug marketed for menstrual cramps.

Period pain. Yeah, period pain. Right. Yeah. So I think that's, okay, and then this morning, like, debate ensued, because I thought that was very sweet. His intention is very sweet. Because if you're ever out, and it might be you're out at the clubs or whatever, or you might be at someone's house and you look for another female, sometimes you don't even really know

them and you're like, hey, oh my God, do you happen to have a tambour? And if you went to your friend's house and you knew he just had them, you'd be like, Chris, can I have one of those tammies? I think it's really sweet. He's looking after his friends. That's weird. I don't think he's weird he's got them, but I think it's weird that he's grandstanding them. And obviously he had them in the back of a TikTok video on display so that

someone would ask. Is there proof she asked or he's just like, somebody asked? No, it's got the reply. It's got her name, her username and everything. Okay, that could be a set up. It's just a bit odd. It's a bit odd. It's got her name, her username and everything. Okay. That could be a setup. It's just a bit odd. It's a bit odd. There's something about him that I've got no problem with it.

I've got no problem with it. I think it's a great idea. But I just think he's only talking about it to make himself seem like a champ. Like he's trying too hard. Yeah. That's my problem. No, but I just like that he's trying. I just think.

You think it's cute? Yeah. Because you've got to celebrate when people try. You know? Even if you do think it's creepy. Mountie was with us. Mountie was on team. Mountie's cynical about it. Weren't you, Mountie? Yeah, I usually give people the benefit

of the doubt, but something just wasn't sitting right. There's something off, eh? He's trying too hard. There's something... It's like, guys, I'm the perfect guy. Yeah, that's what it was. It was like an ad to date him. We always go on about how guys are like this and that and when one tries, you can't kick him and be like,

you're trying too hard, mate. There's a subtlety to it. It was a real grandstand. Guys, if you are wondering where the perfect guy is, it's me. He's over here with a jar full of tampons. Well, until proven otherwise, he could be the perfect guy. Executive Internania, what do you feel?

How do you feel? I think this is just some tall, poppy behaviour, and you guys wish that you'd thought of having a Tammy compendium in your home. Yeah. Well, yeah. Don't kick Chris because he's grandstanding. Yeah. He's doing it in the right way.

Okay, so you're on a first date with Chris. Yeah. He's like, come over, we'll watch, I don't know, what are we going to watch? I'm not coming. What are we going to watch? Friends of Jesse wants other things because we've both seen it. Yeah, yeah, we've all seen it. You put on something that, yeah, you don't want to waste time on.

Yeah. God, that's a real struggle. An Adam Sandler movie. Nah, that's a real roll of the dice. You don't want to go anything too violent. That's not everybody's cup of tea, regardless of gender. Guys or girls sometimes are violent. Stuff's not for everybody.

So you're too action-packed. Ooh, ooh, what a question. Well, anyway, in your mind, whatever. What the perfect thing is to watch. He's like, come over and watch it. And you're like, oh, yeah, I've been hearing great things about this. He's like, oh, just before we start,

if you need tampons in the bathroom. He's not going to do that. It's too David Brent. It's like Ricky Gervais or David Brent or Michael Scott from The Office. It's like two finger guns. I don't know how you'd bring it up because you wouldn't be like sitting on the couch

being like, oh my gosh, I forgot. You'd just have them there, right? Hey, Chris, do you have any? How would you bring it up? You wouldn't. You'd have them in a bathroom. But yeah, just my... Yeah, if you walked into the bathroom

and you saw like his compendium of menstrual products, you would be a little confused. Someone messaged in saying, my teenage boys have first aid kits in their cars and have tampons and pads in there for women as their mother. I've taught them that is normal. Now that's fine.

But they're not, they don't have them in, like if you're driving, you know how Volkswagen Beetles have inbuilt vases? For the flowers. It's like you're driving around with a mini bouquet of tampons in there. But like, out yourself.

I think it's great. But that's great because they're there, but they're not going to start driving and say, just before we go, in the glove box, tampons. I'm a great guy. But I think it's also normalising the fact that you could ask your guy

friends, you know? Absolutely. If any female that I'm friends with said, would you mind buying You could ask your guy friends, you know? Absolutely. On the off-chart. If a female that I'm friends with said, would you mind buying, like nipping out and getting something, I would have absolutely no problem. Yeah, and I totally would ask you. I'd ask Fletch for shits and giggles, but Vaughan would totally. I'd do it.

I'd do it. Vaughan would totally go and get them. I mean, I'd have no idea what I'm buying. You'd be like, you need to write down what. What's a maxi? So you can ask her because she's just your friend. Yeah, not a stranger. Never ask your partner.

What size are you after? I don't know if you should know that or if there's a wrong answer or I don't know, but that one, you should know that. Yeah. You should know that. I just think it's good. It should be celebrated. Don't knock him down.

It should be celebrated and I think totally, but. It should be celebrated, and I think totally, but there's just, if you watch the video, he's wearing a bandana. That was Paul's first question. What's he wearing? I thought he'd just got in from a run or something. It looked like he'd just been doing some Cobra Kai-inspired karate. But no, he's just.

Fleshfan and Megan The podcast ZM Fact of the day Day, day, day, day What Les Mills class Are you going to do today? Piss off.

He's looking at the timetable. What are you going to do? Planning your day? What times? No, I'm going to do CX at 11.45. I am. I just Googled that just pre-us. It's presumptuous you'll be out of here before lunchtime, champ.

You've got a lot of work to do. That's why I was like, I wonder if I'll get to this today. But anyway, carry on. What is CX? Core. It's core, yeah. What's why I was like, I wonder if I'll get to this today. But anyway, carry on. What does CX? Core. That's core, yeah. What's the X stand for? I don't know.

Core Extreme. Yeah, extreme. You know, anything fitness has to have an extreme name. Oh. Today's fact of the day, actually, I heard this on a episode of a podcast that I've just been absolutely lapping up like this. Like a cat with a bowl of milk. The podcast you may have heard of it.

It's been around for over 10 years. It's called 99% Invisible. It's all about like design and stuff. And it's about things that you don't think about, but you see every day. Okay. Or like the design thought that goes into it. You always do that.

Oh, this. I feel like I'd like this podcast too. You would. Here's the good news. There is 412 episodes of it out. Good lord. And it started,

at the start, they were short, but as it goes on and people love them and everything, they're getting longer and longer. Right.

And it's hosted by a guy called Roman Mars. Okay. What a great name is that? What a great name is Roman Mars? Roman Mars. And he goes, this is 99% invisible and I'm Roman Mars. Okay. What a great name is that? What a great name is Roman Mars? And he goes, this is 99% invisible

and I'm Roman Mars. That's how it starts every time. So if I called my son Roman Mars, he would absolutely not say it was a great name. He'd be like, what have you done? I've never thought about it.

I feel like you're gonna, you're gonna have a really unique name. Yeah, everyone will hate it. I don't care. Don't lead with everyone saying they hate it. No, because I'm seeing the bar low. Oh, you're doing that thing.

Where you're like, oh, it's going to lie. You think it's really weird and then you come out, oh, it's actually not that bad. Oh, that's not that bad. That's what they'll say. She said it was going to be weird. That's not that bad. Gucci. Are you calling it Gucci? No. Is it like, um, what's that person with the cat that you always like? Carl Lagerfeld.

Yeah, it'll be Lagerfeld. No, because then I'd have to call it Carl. Great name. Excuse me. Yeah, it'll be Lagerfeld. No, because then I'd have to call it Karl. Great name. Excuse me. Lagerfeld. Anyway, Roman Mars and his podcast, 99% Invisible, talked about during the Cold War, after World War II and Soviet Russia, it wasn't like America's 1950s was all pretty much Greece.

Right. It was all rock and roll and greasy hairdos but there were young people in the Soviet Union that wanted that life they wanted parts of that western culture but it was just flat out no so they had all this music this amazing music coming out of the states

in the 1950s that they couldn't get in because you can't smuggle a vinyl very hard to fit in because they're so big. How they ended up getting the music was somebody worked out in the Soviet Union. All they had to do was get one in and then they could duplicate it. But what would they duplicate it on? Because surely like the vinyl that it was pressed on would be hard to get.

They got old x-rays. Oh, yeah. You know when you get your x-rays? You'd have a ton. Everything's falling apart on you. You could have the whole bloody discography of whoever. And they would put the music onto the x-ray. Oh, yeah. Using the same sort of technology,

but it was much easier to do because it was thinner. It wouldn't last as long as a standard vinyl, though. Right. Oh, yeah. And then with a cigarette, they'd burn a hole in the middle but it was much easier to do because it was thinner. It wouldn't last as long as a standard vinyl though. Right. And then with a cigarette, they'd burn a hole in the middle so that it would sit on a record player and it was just thick enough. And it's a little bit thicker than our x-rays are now, which are a bit floppy.

But these were a little bit thicker. And yeah, you could get music pressed onto the vinyl. And it came to the point where the black market, the people selling these, it would be like, for example, the Beatles. I'll use them as an example. The Beatles would be Skull. So if you saw a Skull X-ray, that would be a Beatles record.

So you could put Harry Styles' fine line on my hip X-ray. Yeah. Harry Styles could be hips. Elvis could be arms. It became artists became associated with different X-rays of body parts. Wow. Of people. Yeah, so today's fact of the day is in Soviet Russia,

they made their own records on old X-rays. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There's been a rescue in New Zealand, and the man who rescued a grandfather and his granddaughter from mud, a king tide was coming in. So a river was rising because it was near the sea. Oh, yum. A man that rescued the grandfather and granddaughter from the mud then found himself in the predicament of being stuck in the mud as the water came in.

Oh, my God. And it was at that stage he thought thought I know how to get out of here and it's all thanks to Dora the Explorer. He's like, wow. There's a scene and he took himself I imagine he entered his mind palace, accessed his extensive Dora knowledge and I'm talking Dora

the, and the Lost City of Gold. The movie. Like the movie where it's real life Dora, not the animated Dora. Okay. Not the animated Dora and the Lost City of Gold. The movie. Like the movie, whereas real life Dora, not the animated. Okay. Not the animated Dora. Although I'm imagining that saved many people. Because there was a scene in that movie apparently with quicksand. Quicksand, yeah.

Which, by the way, I thought we would have seen a lot more of. As adults. Yes. It seems to have been a very scary thing in the 80s and 90s, quicksand. But anyway, this is the advice. This is when Dora and her friends are stuck in the quicksand. It's a classic. How do we get out of this stuff?

Rule number one of quicksand, don't panic. You'll only get sucked in further. Don't panic. And do you lie on your back? She's lying back now. Yeah, right. I mean, you talked over Dora's valuable advice. Evenly distribute your weight.

People will sink in quicksand and they'll be like, I would have known, but Fletch talked over Dora's valuable. So yeah, lie down on your back and distribute your weight, basically. And then her and her friends will do it. But I remember that was the advice to get out of quicksand in all the freaky movies and stuff, right? But if my feet are sinking into the mud or quicksand, I'm not going to lie down in it because I'll just sink

and then suddenly it covers my mouth. Also, it feels like mud is different to quicksand. Yeah. There's heaps of YouTube how to get out of quicksands. Because I guess the closest thing to quicksand that looked like quicksand was when there was all that liquefaction from the earthquake because it was all like that super soft sand that just got bowled up and it was mixed with water so much that, you know, it was hard and then you tapped it and it was like cornflour

and it went soft. That's why Indiana Jones had quicksand. That's probably what scared kids. Which Indiana Jones had quicksand? Was it? I want to know. Temple of Doom? Raiders of the Lost Ark?

Yeah, one of them. Okay. Probably all of them. Probably all of them had that. Another thing I learned about Indiana Jones is if someone, a witch doctor

was going to try to pull your heart out, you could avoid that too. Yeah, it's weird. So you normally run estuaries. So where the river meets the sea. Well, this is where this happened. Where fresh water meets salt water.

And while quicksand can exist without salt, it often contains that as well. So that's when we're more likely to find quicksand. So essentially it is quicksand that he was stuck in. Yeah, well it was a king tide was affecting the Waitara mud flats. But I just love that a man

is like, I remember having to painfully sit through Adora the Explorer movie with my kids and now that has taught me. Saved him. Or, looking back on it now, he's like, I wish I'd just said it was Indiana Jones. Yeah. Because he's down the pub, they're like, here he is, Dora the Hero. Never live it down.

But, okay, here's a question I want to know. Has a movie ever taught you, or a TV show, anything valuable that you've used in life? Oh. Can you think of anything? There was a video game called Army of Two. Yeah. And you worked in co-op, and when you shot somebody, you'd repair them, and if they're bullet hole, you'd shove a tampon in there.

I remember being taught that in bushcraft and safety and stuff. You could use them. Gunshots and wounds, you use a tampon. Jesus, where were you living bushcraft? And if you shoot someone. Executive intern Anya, what's the movie taught you? She's the Man taught me that if you get a nosebleed, you pop a tampon up there and hunky-dory. Worked for Channing Tatum. Was he in that movie?

Yeah, dog. That was like one of his breakout movies. Amanda Bynes, right? Yeah. Channing Tatum, the guy that she had the crush on. Yeah. Mine are all like vapid. My life as Marilyn taught me,

you can never wear too much mascara. I remember that. And then like the devil wears Prada, don't wear florals in spring. Why don't you wear florals in spring? Why don't you wear florals all the time? Because she rolls her eyes and says groundbreaking. Oh my gosh.

But nothing like serious like, well, that would save my life. Okay, well, I want to take some calls on this. 0800-DARLS.M. Give us a call now or text in 9696. What has a movie or a TV show taught you? Any life advice or any situations that you got into that you're like, yes, this is perfect. I recall now.

I bet Friends has done it. I bet people. Oh, you pee on the jellyfish thing. That's where I first learnt that. Neutralised. Yeah, that's an iconic scene, that one. Nick, what did you learn? Well, I learnt from Turbo, from Outback Truckers, that if you're ever in doubt with your financial situation

on how much money's in your bank account, you can just pay with your chequebook and then hope between the time when the person that you've paid is going to cash the che check that the money comes into your account to pay for it. That is some solid financial advice from Turbo. And from like a time in the 80s or before, like are people still using checkbooks? I don't think we have them anymore, do we? No, well, this was a couple of years ago, I think I watched that.

And so, yeah, they probably have become a bit extinct now. Yeah, right. Yeah. No well this was a couple of years ago I think I watched it and so yeah they probably have become a bit extinct now but yeah Yeah the old post adding a cheque that was a classic back in the day

you couldn't cash it all they knew that there was going to be a bit more money in the account Alright thanks Nick Vanessa what did you learn from a TV show?

Hey so I learned from MacGyver or Richard Dean Anderson that if you're buried by an avalanche, if you dribble out your mouth, depending on which way your dribble goes, is the way up to start digging.

Yes, because you don't really smile. No, you dig opposite the dribble. Yeah, well, so if it dribbles down your face. Follow the dribble. I was like, don't follow the dribble. It's going down. No, yeah. Yeah, you go the opposite way

to find your way out. Because you won't know, you'll be so disorientated you won't know which is up or down in an avalanche because you just surround yourself.

Yeah, if you get tumbled around. Oh man, as a kid I thought every episode of MacGyver was just like full of amazing lessons. Totally.

Vanessa, thanks for your call. Some text messages? Some other lessons that you've learned from movies or TV. Somebody said, my thing I learned from Shortland Street is the murderer is always probably the hot guy. Yep.

Somebody else said from those alien movies, you just have to nuke the whole planet. It's the only way to be sure. Yep. Someone said Bear Grylls is like this. Every time I watch an episode of Bear Grylls, I get taught something. Like he taught me one time how to get water from elephant poos

and how to stop a bleeding nose. You just push your top lip under your nose because apparently that's where the blood comes from. So if you push it, it blocks off the blood for the capillaries inside the nose. If your car is submerged, you don't try to open the door. You'll never be able to because of the pressure from the outside. You smash the window. And remember to hold your breath just before the water starts pouring in.

That's a good one to remember. You don't want to remember to kick out the window, but forget to take a breath just before it. You need one of those, you know those hammers you always see on the bus or train? And it's like, oh, they smash the whole glass windscreen. Always wanted to use one of those. It's going to be my dying wish. Dora actually taught,

somebody else said, Dora taught me that Corona is Spanish for crown. Oh, okay. So when everyone was calling her the COVID-19 coronavirus, I said, oh,

that must have something to do with the crown. And then it did. They said it's because it looks like it has a crown around it. So yeah, yeah, yeah. It has some little spikes, doesn't it?

Yeah. Like a crown, yeah. See, I learned how to spell the word opposite from the show High Five. Even now I spell it or hear the word, I sing the song about opposites. Never heard a high five song for opposite, but those things do stick with you.

Yeah. That was good. Lots of learning from TV, eh? ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZDM's Bree andch, Vaughan and Megan The Podcast If you enjoyed this podcast why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app
