ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast.
Thanks to McCafe, barista made coffee available from drive-thru and McC delivery at level 3
and also dine-in at level 2.
Yeah, last night I showed Shade my gift from Brian, if you've missed that podcast two days ago.
Yeah, also the video accompanying
accompaniment they're on our socials video i'm not sure if we needed visuals beautiful visual
it was a great visual uh vaughn received his very first pair of uh jock straps i think it's just a
jock strap jock strap yeah yeah why would you say a pair of undies but not a pair of jock straps
yeah a pair of jocks a jock Yeah. A pair of jockstraps.
A jockstrap, yeah.
Interesting, interesting.
The English language continues to be fucked there.
Yeah, so I put it on last night.
I told Shade about it, and she's like, that's interesting.
And then she's like, who we're like.
And she was also in the absolute naive dark about this being the favorite underpant
for a sexual encounter of a homosexual male bottom.
Yes.
That is bottom as in...
We get it.
In the sexual equation, there's a top and a bottom,
not a bottom as in the arse.
You know, like the bottom of a Lego piece,
the top of a Lego piece.
No, technically, no.
What?
That would have to be flipped upside down
because the bottom plugs into the top in Lego,
whereas the top plugs into the bottom in a homosexual encounter.
Well, they could be on top.
Who?
The bottom.
The bottom.
Yeah, but you're confusing people there who we are explaining this to.
I mean, if you know, you know, right?
It's a terrible analogy.
I-Y-K-Y-K-Y-I-I.
Yeah.
You know, you know, you know.
So what was the feedback like when you...
She was very, very...
She says, that's very interesting.
Wait, was it...
You were wearing them...
She was in the shower and I...
No, no, no.
I took it all off and popped on the...
What was the ass badger?
What was it called again?
Car thrust.
Pig, pig, dirty pig.
Filthy pig.
Nasty pig.
Nasty pig.
I knew it was an animal and I knew it was some sort of negative.
Yeah, connotation.
Connotation.
So my nasty pig jockstrap.
And yeah, I went in and I said, what do you think of that?
So just wearing that.
Yeah, she rubbed the condensation off the shower glass and went, very interesting.
Right.
But not aroused?
No.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
It was very little arousal both on her behalf and my behalf.
I should have perhaps gone semi-aroused.
Filled out the pouch a bit more.
To give the pouch a slightly more plump look.
Okay.
But nah, so that's just the brand.
Maybe you need to go for a high-end, like an Aussie bum brand.
No, I don't think there's anything wrong with Nasty Pig.
I'm open to doing some paid posts for Nasty Pig.
Right, okay.
Oh, my God, can you please?
I'm not.
No.
All right, well, thank you to Brian for that lovely gift.
Yes, thank you again, Brian, you naughty, naughty man.
I guess that will go in the dress-ups drawer for another day.
Well, I got that g-string that time, the front pouch on it,
you put your penis into, like into the back of a rooster
puppet.
Do you remember that one?
Yeah.
It was like a red.
So you had to be pretty warmed up to get in there.
That hung around for a while.
That got chucked out in the house move at the end of 2018.
Thanks for that, Brian.
Thank you.
Thanks, Rachel.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show
Fleach Vaughan and Megan, happy Thursday morning
To everyone except the gang member that took COVID down
And Brian Tamaki
But that goes without saying
Yes
And police have said this morning
That if you did receive drugs from this courier with COVID, please destroy them.
Even though there's no, I don't know if COVID can stick to a baggie.
Unsure.
I'm no scientist, but I wouldn't take any chances.
Not taking any chances.
But yeah, seriously, bad news.
So yeah, if you're feeling unwell in the Waikato surrounding areas today,
don't go to work.
Get tested.
Soon as possible.
Stay safe out there.
I had to make sure my mum's drug dealer wasn't that guy.
Did you?
Okay.
Christina, you're still getting weed from the same person.
I'm only kidding.
My mum doesn't smoke drugs.
No.
She bakes them.
Valium from Thailand.
Oh, she's going to run out by now.
She loves her little yellow pills,
her little yellow sleepy pills from Thailand.
Oh, no.
She'll be running out.
What's she doing?
She wouldn't dare think about actually going to her doctor
and asking for Valium.
That would be absolutely unheard of.
But she'll buy them from a pharmacy in Thailand.
She doesn't speak the same language as.
Probably, you know,
she'd just speak to them very loudly and very slowly
and describe the pills she wanted.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
They're yellow, dear.
They're yellow.
And then she'd point at something on her shirt that was yellow.
Yellow triangle.
Triangle.
And then she'd make a triangle with her hands.
Sleepy I bet at least the Thailand pharmacists have had
A good couple of years of rest and relaxation
At least
From all the tourists
Coming up on the show, the top six
Yeah, we're having a vaccination day
It's a national holiday
Imagine if it was a national holiday That might get people excited It's called a weekend It's a national holiday. Well, it's almost Saturday. Imagine if it was a national holiday.
That might get people excited.
It's called a weekend.
It's called the weekend.
And we're going to, gosh darn, do our best to get everybody vaccinated.
So that's not this weekend, but next weekend.
Yeah.
I believe the 16th of October.
Does that sound right?
Big push.
Well, yeah, because what are we now?
It'll be the 9th, 8th, 7th, 16th.
Yep.
And they want everybody to come together.
All the political, civic, local leaders.
Yeah.
Put your differences aside.
Reach out and don't touch somebody's hand or face.
Let's get vaccinated and make it a better place.
That was just off the cuff.
Yeah, good.
Well, if they need that song, that's a good start.
All right, well, the top six dealing with this National Day.
Yeah, the top six things we can have at this National Vaccination Day.
All right, coming up on the show, 7 o'clock and 8 this morning,
all thanks to Neon, ZM's $50,000 secret sound,
currently at $10,000.
And this is the sound that everybody is trying to figure out.
Your chance to get through the activator just before seven.
Next, the science behind why men and women feel the cold differently.
Why you're wearing a T-shirt and I'm wearing a jacket in the studio.
Well, it's very high.
You're not warm in here.
It is warm.
It's too warm in here.
No, I'm just right, actually. That'd be right. ZDM's F high. You're not warm in here. It is warm. It's too warm in here. No, I'm just right, actually.
That'd be right.
ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan.
We don't argue.
It's kind of just resigned to the fact
that I wear a jacket in studio
and you guys wear a T-shirt.
It was my surprise the other day.
You were like,
oh, it's very warm in here, isn't it?
Sometimes it does get too warm
and I agree with you.
It needs to be turned down.
But most of the time you guys are like,
oh, it's really hot in here
and I'm just right.
And then Georgia comes in
afterwards
because the two studios
are air conditionally linked
and then she's like
I'm freezing.
Yeah.
We're like shut up.
And then sometimes
you come in in the morning
and the night show
and the afternoon show
I've had it on
too hot.
They love a hot
sauna in here.
Sauna studio. Well you're always like on. Too hot? They love a sauna in here. Sauna studio.
Well, you're always like, aren't you hot?
Well, it turns out the women actually do need the heating turned up.
And this is probably like so many people have fights with the air conditioning.
So a study and scientists have revealed that the female species,
and this isn't just humans and some animals as well,
they're drawn to higher temperatures because of an inbuilt
evolutionary difference. I see you're a problem
for everybody then.
Bears,
whales.
The variation in the...
Yay?
Yeah, well, it's not COVID. Is it cold?
Is it too cold in here? No, I made my drug
dealer take tests before he
gives me my meth for the month.
Okay.
So the variation in metabolic rate is one reason.
Right.
Because guys crank that higher than females do.
But interestingly, it goes back to like caveman days.
So females, they would segregate where they sleep and stuff
because they would prefer it warmer than males
and that might have something to do with the fact
that keeping females and babies away from predatory males,
so the males would, you know, like scope out the space
and any, you know, like predatory males that would come along
wouldn't then see the females and the babies
because they'd be in a separate area.
Hidden away somewhere else.
What, like in a cold cave somewhere?
A warm cave. Oh, a warm cave.
Right, okay. I thought you
might have been a buffer for any sparks and embers
from the fire.
And females might
also prefer warmer climates to
protect offspring
when they were too young to regulate their own body temperature.
Yeah.
And so now here we are in 2021
and we just can't keep the air con at a constant level
because our ancestors did this in caves.
Yeah.
Interesting.
And they had a little woolly mammoth as the vacuum cleaner.
Oh my God.
They used to push it around in their hand.
They did.
How did you turn it on and off?
Pull its tail.
Yeah, and they had a little piggy under the sink,
and that was the garbage disposal.
100%.
And Wilma Flintstone had a bird that she held by the beak
and used its tail feathers to dust the house.
Those were the days.
Good old Flintstones.
Better days, better times.
Simpler times.
Simpler times.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Well, a Reddit post in the Reddit forum Am I an A-hole?
I love that forum.
Has gone viral.
So this is a wedding photographer,
a wedding photographer posting about his experience.
He posted, he said he'd take photos for a couple.
Now, I don't think they had a lot of money
and he was doing it kind of as a bit of a favor.
So I think he was getting $250 to shoot the whole wedding day.
That's good, eh?
That's like real cheap.
What?
Yo, that's real cheap.
That's real cheap.
Real cheap.
Because how much would a wedding photographer cost normally?
It varies.
A lot.
Thousands.
Especially if you get like a video and photography package.
And they've got a couple of photographers and they follow you around all day.
And then they might do a little bit of a touch up on some of their photos.
They're professionals. Right. and then they might do a little bit of a touch-up on some of their photos.
Professionals.
Right.
So he doesn't sound like he's an actual pro-pro,
but he does do a lot of photography.
It's his friend.
So he's like, okay, $250, that's fine.
So he explains in this post that all up it was a 10-hour event and that he ended up starting around 11 a.m.
and was finishing around 7.30.
Now, it was around 5 o'clock that food was being served,
and he was told that he couldn't stop to eat
because he needed to be a photographer taking people
and that they wouldn't feed him.
No one wants to have their photos taken while they're eating.
No.
No one wants to be, like, caught mid-gob of a...
Like, what are those
Canapes
Yeah yeah yeah
No I was trying to think
Of like a specific canape
Those salmon cake things
But you've got to cater
For your photographers and stuff
Well yeah
And so that's when
The groom said that
He told the groom
Look I need
Can I just have 20 minutes off
For a little bit of a
You know rest
Because I've been going non-stop
Everyone's eating
I'll eat too.
And that's when he said no,
that he either needed to be a photographer,
keep working, or leave without pay.
And that is when the photographer snapped.
He deleted all the photos in front of him
and took off saying,
I'm not your photographer anymore.
Or friend.
Or friend. They make hangry decisions.
Yes, and then that's when he turned to Reddit
saying to the Am I an Arsehole forum
Wait, who turned? The photographer or the group?
The photographer. Oh, okay.
Yeah, and the posters
had like thousands of comments
and the majority of
people sticking on the photographer's
side. Really? Yeah.
Um, yeah, okay. I mean
the person was a jerk but
you can't get those photos back.
Yeah.
I would have held them ransom.
Yeah. I would have held them ransom.
To get your money. Like I would have stormed
off and then they would have been like, okay, okay
you can have some food. I'd be like, huh, I won.
I get food.
Can't believe you deleted them.
Yeah, but they're gone forever.
At this stage, you're at the reception.
So all the ceremony's been done.
You're not getting any photos of that.
Unless people had cell phone photos.
And probably not, given the way weddings are these days.
Yeah, because they're like, no photos on Facebook media.
They have heaps of photos of themselves,
but not too many of you.
And you'd be like far away if you were.
How dare.
Yeah.
Well, that'll teach you.
Yeah.
So look after the little guys.
Especially when your friends are doing you a favour.
Yeah.
For $250 for a whole day of wedding photography.
From the sophisticated ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.
Hello there.
A national vaccination day planned for next Saturday.
Not the Saturday.
The next Saturday.
Ten days time.
Thereabouts.
As a push to get people vaccinated because this means if you get vaccinated,
you can get your second jab before the summer holidays.
Yeah.
Also, yesterday they were saying that if you've already had your jab for three weeks or more,
you're waiting for that six-week marker, you can bring it forward.
Right.
Just because they're worried that, you know, it's getting out there.
Right.
Okay.
You can get your second.
You can get your second.
Or you can just wait for the six weeks if you're happy to do that.
Whatever.
I was wondering, we've had lots of breakdowns about vaccinations.
Like, I see that New Zealand Indian population is leading the charge.
Yep.
Followed closely by people of Asian descent.
Yep.
And New Zealanders.
And I was thinking we need a whole lot of different demographic breakdowns.
Oh, okay.
To make this more competitive. Oh, okay. To make this more competitive.
Right, okay.
So I googled what the current LGBTQI plus vaccination rates are.
While we don't have the results in New Zealand, in America, over 92%.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
And that was in August.
Over 92% of LGBTQI plus adults have been fully vaccinated.
Wow.
So, Brian, do you want the gays running the world on the other side of this?
Or are we going to get vaccinated so we can continue getting back to all that bullshit after this?
Who runs the world?
Gays.
I'm just saying,
they're vaccinated.
Today's top six are the top six things to have
at the National Vaccination
Day. Number six,
sausage sizzles.
That'll get the crowd in. Ask
Mitre 10. Bunnings.
But, BYO sausage
and BYO stick. They'll just
have fires burning in drums.
Maybe they could have a little slide.
Your sausage rolls down at a two metre distance.
Like, you know how much fun it is
with those automatic pancake making machines
to watch the fingers.
And then it slowly goes along the conveyor belt cooking.
I'm going to be 40 in February.
I'm imagining I'm going to be watching
them pancakes be made forever.
Look at it go. It's not bubbling yet. Oh them pancakes be made forever. Look at it go.
It's not bubbling yet.
Oh, the bubbles have started.
The bubbles have started.
It's not going to be cooked evenly on both sides.
Plop out the end.
It's cooked evenly on both sides.
Good stuff.
Gosh darn.
Number five on the list of the top six things to have at the National Vaccination Day are the pokies.
People love the pokies.
They do.
And when you get your vaccination,
you get to have a Max Lyons Max bet.
So it's a bit of an all or nothing full-blown spin attack.
And then you get your payout at the end.
Number four on the list of the top six things
to have at the National Vaccination Day
are a raffle.
A meat raffle.
That gets people down to the Razzamos Tuesdays.
So you have a meat raffle and the ticket is your vaccination.
Why not?
To win a bloody pork shoulder.
Oh, did I win Lotto last night?
Did anybody win Lotto?
Did anybody win Lotto?
Did you buy a ticket?
I knew it would hit the magic mark.
You would have bought a ticket.
It's got to that amount where I'm like, okay, I'm buying one now.
I got one on the app.
Are you going to do it on air?
I would love to.
No, you can't check till seven, right?
Oh, God, I wish you could gamble in the dark hours.
Why not?
What if you...
Why can you only gamble when it's daylight?
Vampires.
Oh, okay.
They've got a gambling problem,
so they try to make it really hard for them to gamble.
You don't need vampires out of control at casinos, that's for sure.
Well, they live forever, you see.
What would you do if you did it on air and it's like,
you are a winner of something, a million dollars?
Oh, I wouldn't say.
It'd be like, bing, bing, bing, bing.
And he'd be like, oh, I've got a bonus ticket.
In other news, you can all get it.
He's gone and then Fletch just leaves.
Yeah, I was like, man, he really put his whole career in a bonus ticket, guys.
Number three on the list of the top six things to have at the National Vaccination Day to get people on day on.
That game where you buy a square on a field and then the cow gets let loose on the field.
And wherever the cow does the poo, that square wins the prize.
Is that a rural school gala thing?
Did you not do that?
No.
We don't have cows in the city at our schools.
But someone would have a cow connection.
No.
I don't know anyone with a cow connection.
I've got a cow.
You've got a cow connection.
I didn't know you when I was like young.
You lived on like the fringe.
There could have been a sheep.
There could have been a goat.
It was as long as an animal defecated.
Oh my God.
Somewhere on the square.
So a grid would be drawn up.
Yeah.
And you'd buy like, it was like battleships. You'd buy like D7. Oh my God. And that would be the square. So a grid would be drawn up. Yeah. And you'd buy like, it was like battleships.
You'd buy like D7.
Oh my God.
And that would be one square.
I didn't win lotto.
It's gone to 26 million.
Is he lying?
I'm going to have to buy another ticket.
That's good because I didn't have a ticket.
Oh, but two people did win half a million dollars.
That could be you.
I would love that.
I don't need a million.
Half a mil would be just wonderful.
Shut up.
Who wants half a million?
You can have 26 on Saturday.
That's loser speak.
Yeah, so basically when you get the jab, you get a square.
And then we all socially distance and watch a cow do poos.
Okay.
It's a fun game.
I didn't know you guys didn't do that.
Come around here with your cute old school gala stories from the rural.
Did you have the one where you could pay $2 to smash a car up?
Yes.
That was not...
Even at the time, I'm like, that seems unsafe.
And I was like a crazy teenager.
Yeah, there was an old car and you'd pay like 50 cents or a dollar
and they'd give you a hammer and goggles.
Eventually you saved the goggles.
How many wax?
Oh, I just...
You got like a minute.
You got like a minute and you'd go in there
and you'd just bash the shit out of someone's mum's old Honda Crown.
And then there was another one, a ride where they'd tie sacks to, like, a robe and a tractor
and they'd just tow you around the field.
Magic carpet rides?
Yeah.
So cool.
We used to do that at home.
You're not allowed to do that now, though, eh?
Nah.
God.
You could go, as long as it was slow.
Nah, I bet you couldn't do that now though, eh? Nah. God. You could go, as long as it was slow. Nah, I bet you couldn't do that now.
I was going to do
magic carpet rides
for like my nieces
and nephews at Christmas
but then be that
crazy uncle that
tries to put them
sideways into a fence.
Yeah, that's a good
Do you have anything
on the farm let
we could just smash?
Yeah, smash his
bloody Honda.
It's fallen to bits anyway.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, two bucks.
It looks like it's been in a gala wrap all day.
It looks like someone came in with a little bit of a weak hammer.
Number two on the list of the top six things to have at the National Vaccination Day.
A silent disco in your cars.
Oh, yeah, nice.
People love silent discos.
They do.
Not my cup of tea.
You look like a dick.
Are you having fun?
What? What channel are you having fun? What?
What channel are you listening to?
What?
Take your headphone off.
What channel are you listening to?
Oh, four.
What are you listening to?
Oh, two.
Cool, man.
Hey, this is a fun corporate retreat, hey! And number one on the list of the top six things to have at the National Vaccination Day
to get people on down, a petting zoo.
But don't worry, all the animals are fully vaccinated
and will regularly be doused in hands.
Good.
Fully dipped.
That's today's
Top 6
ZDM's Fletch,
Ron and Megan
Sam, a 25 year old
From North Carolina
She has shared
The mortifying story
Of her first date
With her boyfriend
She says
First date with my boyfriend
So I imagine
They're still together
After this
Why do people
Put these stories out there?
Like they put them out
Online
And then we find Like we're talking about this in New Zealand.
Yeah, but she's got so many views on TikTok now.
Yeah, I was going to say.
It's for the TikTok.
It's for the TikToks.
Okay.
So she wore, and she put up a picture because someone was like, I need to see these shorts now.
So she's wearing little short denim shorts.
She wore them, and they were very uncomfortable, she said,
for eight hours.
She didn't wear uncomfortable clothing.
Comfort should be key.
Yeah, that's why I don't like shirts.
I myself am in.
Farsham, Baba.
Most of the shit I wear is uncomfortable.
I still can't believe people would put themselves through that.
I am in the purchasing lounge of some shorts,
meaning I'm in the market to buy some.
Where do you buy a nice pair of casual, comfortable shorts?
Not jorts.
I don't want to be a jorts guy again this summer.
Maybe jorts on the odd occasion, but I've been jorts for years
because they're comfortable.
I don't know if I've ever seen you in other shorts.
Just ordinary shorts.
No, you don't. You either do. And I don't want to I've ever seen you in other shorts Just ordinary shorts No you don't
You either do
And I don't want to be like basketball shorts guy
And I don't want to be board shorts guy
What about sweet pants guy?
Sweet shorts
The pockets let me down
You don't like the pockets
Yeah
Wow okay
And when you see someone in sweat shorts
Like you're like
Are they trying to show me their bulge
And there's nothing like
What about some denim cut offs?
Some booty shorts Some booty shorts?
Some booty shorts.
Could do.
Okay, well, good luck with that.
People are like a hairy back of the leg on a pale back of the leg.
Is that in fashion?
Sure, yeah.
Absolutely.
Hot.
So this woman, she was somewhat stuck in her pants for eight hours,
these tight denim wedgie shorts.
She knew they were uncomfortable but was like, oh, well.
When she finally got them off, the next day she was like,
ow, something hurts on my butt.
So she went to the doctor.
They gave her antibiotics.
But then a couple of days later, she couldn't walk.
And she went to the hospital.
She had sepsis and cellulitis.
They were going to cut off a part of her butt.
What?
Because it had gotten so infectious.
She had an infection.
So she cut off the circulation effectively.
No, I think she got like a graze.
Oh, right.
Like a rashy rub.
Oh, right.
Chafing it.
Oh, my God.
But like, this means that it had rubbed raw.
She couldn't walk.
Where did she go on the date?
It looks like some sort of festival or something.
So she's like sat in something.
Or like sat on a chair and somebody else,
there's been something gross on it.
Yeah.
Oh, that is manky.
These shorts that she knew were uncomfortable and tight.
But she's like, hey, never mind.
I mean, she should have taken them off at the time but they were very tight.
This is why I don't do
uncomfortable clothing.
I don't own shirts.
I don't own like one or two shirts
for a suit. Is it the collar? Yeah, I just feel
restricted. This is one of these shirts.
This is the most comfortable shirt. You can tell by I wear
it every single day. Yesterday I got a stain on it and I was like
ah! And I stained a stain on it and I was like, ah!
And I stained and I removed it and I washed it and I dried it and I put it back on for today.
It's the most comfortable shirt.
Because you love it.
It's so comfortable.
It's kind of like a swan dry Bushman's kind of.
I don't know what it is, but the buttons don't go all the way down,
which is also great.
Right.
Because when the buttons go all the way down, you've got to do buttons up.
And that's boring.
I get really bored doing up buttons.
It's time I could spend doing something else.
Yeah.
That's why I wear t-shirts.
No buttons.
Yeah.
Buttons suck, man.
I feel like they did a focus group with like farmers and were like, what do you want in
a shirt?
You know what else it's got?
You got a pen?
Has it got a pocket for a pen?
It's got a pocket for a pen. It's got a pocket for a pen.
Like behind the actual pocket, there's a slot especially for the pen.
You actually do get a lot of compliments about that shirt.
I've heard you get compliments about that shirt.
Well, that's the thing about it.
Don't compliment a guy's clothes unless you 100% mean it
because the minute he gets a compliment on it, he'll wear it every day.
Like you are.
That's me.
Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan.
Well, Halloween's at the end of this month.
And there's costumes, many costumes.
I guess there'll be no trick-or-treating in level three.
No.
Level two for the rest of the country, that'll be acceptable.
Will it?
As long as it's down a distance.
A distance.
Like there's a bowl.
You could have a chute for your lollies.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, a bowl, everyone's just sticking their hands in it.
Yeah.
And that's a problem, isn't it?
Yeah, you could have a little chute.
Yep.
A lolly chute.
That's pretty good.
Like a whole bunch of downspout from your guttering.
Yeah.
And just slide lollies down it.
So don't forget to put that back on before it rains.
Well, there's one of those costumes you can buy, like, you know,
from your look shops that comes in a plastic
bag. If it's like Mario, to
get around copyright, they say
Hero Italian Plumber. Oh, and there's, you
can get the Foreign Reporter,
which is Borat.
There's a Foreign Reporter.
To get around that. Yeah, they get around all the copyright.
Yeah, yeah, by that. So there's one of those
in a plastic bag, comes with a wig, some glasses, they get around all the copyright. Yeah, yeah, by that. So there's one of those in a plastic bag,
comes with a wig, some glasses.
It's called the Karen.
Okay, wow.
This is still, like, my girls play Karen.
There's, like, this game called Karen.
What?
Well, I think it's on Roblox, which they play.
Right.
And in it, someone's the Karen,
and they've got to go around just, like,
complaining and making everybody's life miserable.
It's that much of a thing that we're even teaching our kids what a Karen is.
Yeah, yeah.
The name's gone.
It's done.
It's done.
Change your name.
But yeah, there's been like mass complaints from Karens about the fact that there's a Halloween costume named after them.
Well, I was talking to my friend the other day.
He was like, I would love to go as one of the Squid Game minions.
And I was like, oh, I reckon it would be like a fencing mask.
Because do you reckon those are fencing masks or some kind of?
Yeah, there was too many of them for it not to be an already established.
But I tell you what, I quit Google and they are, when I say they,
the factories are onto it, man, because you can already buy.
They're cranking it.
You can already buy those Squid Game minions.
Yeah.
You get the whole costume, the pink overalls,
you get a harness, everything.
Producer Jared just messaged through saying
you could paint a sieve black and put it over your face.
Just spray paint a sieve.
And just twink out the triangle.
On a total budget.
They must be fencing, because they look like fencing masks, right? Just spray painted a sieve. Then just twink out the triangle. On a total budget. They must be fencing, because they look like fencing masks, right?
Just spray painted black?
Yeah.
Well, no, I think fencing masks come in a range of colours,
so they've probably just got a black one and then put the triangle
or the circle or the square on it.
I bet that person that opened a fencing store in New Zealand was like,
oh, I don't know if I should open the store for the 10 people
in New Zealand that fence.
But if I'm going to open it, now's the time, the Olympics.
Now's the time.
They do it, and then they open it, and then this happens,
and all of a sudden there's only so many fencing masks.
It's like, what is happening?
Wasn't the Olympics great for our chosen sport?
ZM's Fleshborn and Megan.

Dylan joins us good Good morning, Dylan.
Hey, how's it going?
Good morning.
It is good, Dylan.
Now, Soundkeeper Alves joins us from her home, socially distanced.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Hello.
Now, Dylan, the secret sound.
When you first heard it, what were your thoughts?
Well, I was sitting in my car at the time when I heard it and I was just
playing around and I think it might be something inside the car. Okay, this would not be the
first time a secret sound has been located in the car. Okay, Dylan, for $10,000, what
do you think the secret sound is? I think it's the winding up and down of the electric window button.
Ooh la la.
An electric window going, yes, going up and down.
I can just imagine you doing that 10 times.
So is it the window connecting as you wind it up or you mean the button, pushing the button?
The button.
Okay.
Very clunky button you got there.
Dylan, you got a clunky old button.
Thanks for that, Vaughan.
Okay, has it related to the clue at all?
How did you connect it there?
Well, a lot of people are going through drive-thrus,
KFC, McDonald's or whatever, and they're winding up and down their windows.
Probably going through the show sponsor's drive-thru.
Yeah, I'd say Prime Cafe.
Be the one they're going through, Dylan.
Sausage, deep-fried muffin, please.
Absolutely, yeah.
One of your delicious coffees. Delicious coffee this morning, yeah, absolutely.
Enough of that, though.
Time to let you know if that's the correct secret sound
and i appreciate all your efforts dylan but i'm gonna have to say no that isn't the secret
unfortunately not but uh every guest that gets through this week does win a one month
neon subscription so that is all yours well done thank you Thank you very much. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
So nearly a third of people, this is
aged between 25
and 34, and it is in
the UK. I don't know if
it would be the same here. No longer
trust banks, and they stash
their cash at home somewhere.
Which, if you've got a bit of cash
at home, and you get
burglarised, or your house burns down.
Was this, we spoke on air to someone who was digging up jars of money, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So would that have been, why?
Because they were like not trusting a bank.
Digging holes in the garden.
In New Zealand, and I think it's changing at the moment, but I don't know if it's kicked in.
We were one of the very few places in the world
where banks didn't,
you didn't have a guarantee for your money and savings
in your account.
In the world.
You didn't have a guarantee?
No.
So I think at the moment,
they're working on up to $100,000.
That money's guaranteed by the government.
It's like the world's least fun casino.
Yeah.
So I can see why maybe if, you know, COVID's happening,
the world's crumbling and they're like,
oh, well, I don't want to trust my money in the bank.
It's not guaranteed.
So the money in the bank wasn't guaranteed,
but the money we owe the bank is guaranteed.
In forms of like mortgages and loans and stuff, guaranteed.
Absolutely.
They'll come after you for that.
Interesting.
But yeah, I don't know too much about it.
I just know that it's, yeah, they're working on making that a thing.
Right.
Whether it's already kicked in or not, I don't know enough.
But 42% as well think that the banks make their money through hidden charges.
So that's also leading to the mistrust.
They don't want to pay, you know, like extra charges.
But where are you hiding your money?
Yeah, and so the bank might
charge you $5 a month or whatever
and that's X amount a year, but how much
are you going to lose if someone breaks into your house
or your house burns down? Yeah. And you lose
tens of thousands of dollars. They would get their wages
paid into a bank account and then automatically remove it.
I'd say so, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Because can your work pay you cash?
No, no.
No, because the erd will get involved, right?
Probably.
The erd will be like,
eh, hello, what's going on?
But then you're like,
okay, they gave me cash
and then I'm going to give the erd
my taxes and cash.
They could give you cash.
They could.
But they'd take out the tax before.
Yeah, but the minute you've got more than two employees,
can you imagine what a pain in the ass that would be?
Payday, all right, I'm off to the bank to get all this cash out
because you guys want to be paid in cash.
Yeah.
This is what it'll be after PAYE.
I don't know of anyone that does that here.
No.
I just never really considered the necessity of them.
Like, if you actually didn't trust them, what would you do?
Because you still have to have a bank account to get it paid into,
like, to save the work.
I guess you could get Bitcoin, but then that's,
you got $1 today and then you got $1,000 the next day
and then tomorrow you got minus 50.
It seems to be very all over the show.
My Bitcoin mate just sent through,
because I meant to send a GIF or a GIF,
but I said GIF, through to the group,
but I accidentally clicked on one of the Bitcoin as a rocket.
And he's like, yeah, have you read?
And I was like, no, I don't care.
And his Bitcoin's gone crazy.
It's on the up, which I know a lot about stocks.
Great time to buy.
Famously, it's not.
But yeah, it goes up and down.
It's up.
Are you looking at?
No, no.
A friend has messaged saying his dad used to pay three guys in cash until three years ago.
But I'm assuming you take the tax out and then you'd be-
What a pain in the ass.
Yeah.
But I guess they don't trust banks. I just feel like- Yeah, take the tax out and then you'd be... What a pain in the ass. Yeah. But I guess they don't trust banks.
I would just be like...
Yeah, take the tax out.
Yeah.
I'd take a little...
I'd be like, yeah, I can pay you cash, but I'm taking 20.
Oh, they didn't have internet banking.
They didn't have internet banking.
But then you don't need internet banking.
Surely you'd go to the ATM yourself, right?
Yeah.
How do you do online shopping?
That's me out.
That's you gone. Yeah, how would you? What a right? Yeah. How do you do online shopping? That's me out. That's you gone.
Yeah, how would you? What a punish.
Yeah.
Got paid in checks. At my first
radio job, I got paid in checks. And meat
packs. Didn't you get a meat pack? Well, the meat pack would be if your check
bounced. Oh, right.
Okay, yeah, right. I got on very well
with the guy in charge. Right. How did the
IRD office take to you turning up
with like a bit of mince as your taxpayer?
Well, no, that wasn't the problem.
They would turn up and want 20% of the sausages.
You were like, too late.
I was keeping the IRD fed, you know,
Friday afternoon sausage sizzle,
thanks to the people working at the generator in Hamilton.
Next on the show, Megan's face
has become an issue on social media.
It's been discussed
in comments online.
Thanks for that.
Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan.
Did I turn that off or did you not turn it on?
You turned it off.
You always fiddle with your buttons.
You're not going to help the spree that I was reading yesterday.
Megan made the mistake of reading a comment section.
I thought you were going to say of having a face.
Not just our comment section, a comment section of which was about this show.
There was a wee snippet of our show.
A wee snippet.
Because lots of people think that we talk about the vaccine 24-7 all the time.
We haven't talked... Oh, yeah, we have.
We've talked about it once today.
Hey, I mean, sue us for wanting people to be safe
and have some freedom in a summer.
Yeah, so there was a snippet that went out onto some news sites yesterday
of us talking about the vaccine.
Vaughan was comparing it to,
I thought it was a great analogy of a seatbelt.
What was your analogy again?
You wear it and it keeps you safe.
Yeah.
Not every time you go in the car, there's going to be an accident.
Yeah.
But your best chance of surviving a car accident is a seatbelt.
Yeah.
Now.
What about this one?
The comment section.
There's a cruise ship, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I like this one.
Now, it's used that one that Costa Concordia.
Yeah.
But it's just a bit of imagery.
Yeah.
There's a story about people on a boat.
One guy decided to dig through the floor of his cabin.
Water flows and the other passengers are pissed, but it's his own cabin. And the guy argues, why One guy decided to dig through the floor of his cabin. Water flows in.
The other passengers are pissed, but it's his own cabin.
And the guy argues, why should it matter to you?
It's only my cabin.
But you're sinking the boat?
Yeah.
Personal choice.
I'm going to go so far.
We're all on the same boat.
Look at that.
That's good stuff.
I have a blanket rule for the sake of my own mental health to not read comments.
Often I don't even open the text machine.
Sometimes I get into the
comments and then I start clicking on people's
profile and I'm like, wow.
I can see why you said this.
I don't do it for stuff on vaccines
and I definitely don't do it on stuff
that involves me. Right.
So I broke two rules yesterday
and I looked at
the comments. There was
a lot, but one of them, shout out to Terry, who commented.
By all indications from his profile picture, is a supermodel.
Yeah, well, it doesn't like.
It looks like he's an international model.
With a name like Terry.
Terry said in this video, watch Megan's face, though.
She looks like she's trying to convince herself
to believe the lie they're telling.
Lolol.
Because the clip is of us saying
that we're not asked to talk about the vaccine we choose to.
We're certainly not told to
because if we're told to do anything,
we won't do it.
We won't do it.
Yeah.
That's had 65 likes and lots of laughy faces.
For your unconvincing face.
I'm glad everyone's getting a kick out of my face.
That's just what my face looked like.
That's just what your face looks like when you're listening.
Or when I'm just absolutely sick of hearing from these people.
But yeah, I'm so glad everyone got a kick out of commenting on my face yesterday.
That actually really upset me though, because we weren't, we,
why do I even bother?
Don't worry about it.
I don't like being called a liar.
Thank you very much.
But someone said, the Vax is not like wearing a seatbelt, Vaughn.
The Vax is putting something inside of you. And I do appreciate Mike's comment that said,
you can put a seatbelt inside of you if you try hard enough.
Comment of the day to Mike there.
Good work, Mike.
ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
In New Zealand, more than 60% of the almost 50,000 tonnes of food thrown out by hospitality and retail sectors are still edible.
60,000 tonnes?
50,000 tonnes.
Okay, sorry, 60%.
A million tonnes?
That's a lot.
It is a lot.
It's still edible.
And so this isn't a new app, but it is new to Wellington.
So Foodprint has been in Auckland for a while now,
but now Wellingtonians can join Foodprint.
So the idea...
But we've talked about this before, this app.
We have.
Yes.
Because my cafe was signed up to it.
So the idea is basically you connect with restaurants, cafes, food retailers,
and instead of them throwing out food that is at the end of the day
or they don't want to, you know, you can't put it out the next day,
they put it up from between 30% to 90% discount.
Right.
And you can check retailers and cafes near you
and go and get cheap food, cheap lunch.
So would you put that up like an hour before you shut? Yeah.
Okay, right. And then, well, I mean, you can put it up
any time of the day. What would be an example
of food that couldn't be
cabineted the next day? Like
sandwiches. You couldn't do a sandwich
the second day? No, I reckon some places
do. You bite into them and you're like,
this is two days old. Yeah.
Or you wouldn't really want to. Especially
if it's got like meat in it.
Yeah, yeah. Or salad and stuff.
Any creamy things?
Like what about a donut?
Two days max.
We never had.
You never had any left over.
I don't know.
Because donuts would go stale.
Yeah, what about a kazi square?
A kazi square would probably last another day.
Are you frigid?
I always thought.
Slices and cakes would last a bit longer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I always thought a kazi was just like absolutely, you know,
like isn't custard bacterial in itself?
It seems really spongy, like it could soak up some bad stuff.
But you're refrigerating it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Refrigerating.
Okay, so end of day two, there's a kazi square going, is there?
Yeah.
So, yeah, you can just go on there and look at places near you
and they could be offering up, you know, like some of their,
I mean, it was made a little bit earlier, but it's cheap food.
Because, you know, in the supermarket, I love a reduced to clear item.
Me too.
I love a reduced to clear.
I will always buy reduced to clear stuff.
That you don't need because you're like, this used to be 10 bucks.
No, but even because I buy stuff, like I'll go to the supermarket
because I live next door to a supermarket.
I'll go every day or two.
So I'll normally be buying for that night or then.
So I don't mind buying something that's reduced to clear
because I'm going to eat it that day.
Is there, what's the best day for reduced to clear stuff?
I reckon there's a day.
No, it's every day for like your deli
or your meats
or all kinds of stuff.
Because I went recently
and it felt like
all of the meat
was like half price.
Right, there's a big
reduced to clear freezer.
Might have been Thursday.
I think they just go through it.
There's someone at mine
that's always going through it
and they're looking
at the best before dates
and if they're saying
it's close,
they're like,
chuck a sticker on it.
So good.
And I'm like,
I'll take that.
Do you know,
speaking of this app,
I forgot to tell you guys.
Guess what?
What?
He lives in an Uber Eats
map zone now.
Oh!
They extended you.
You know,
thank you.
Congratulations.
Yeah,
I literally did nothing
but I'll take this round
of applause.
We're in the same zone
but now you're going to realise
that there's only like
three eateries on there.
No,
I was surprised. Oh really. But there seems to be
some sort of additional rural fee.
Yeah, because you live in the middle of
nowhere. Yeah.
It's a farmlet fee.
But somebody I've never met lives
up the road and they were like,
okay, so I've seen you run past my place
and I want you to know
you must live close.
And I was like, well that's insulting. That makes it look like I can't run very fast.
This is a stranger on Instagram.
Yeah.
I've seen you run past our place,
which means that you're probably
within the new Uber Eats area.
I was like, shut your face.
And I checked and yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
You finally got Uber Eats.
So you'll be running past their place some more then.
Yeah.
After all these Uber Eats. I will need to. I will running past their place some more then. After all these Uber Eats.
I will need to.
I will certainly need to.
Play ZM's Flesh Fauna Megan.
Megan Trano and her husband, who is Daryl Sabara.
He's a Spy Kids dude.
Yeah, because when you said Megan Trano's husband before,
I'm like, who's she married to?
Because he is somebody and he's a guy of Spy Kids.
Right.
And he's 29 now.
What's she been doing?
She's releasing music.
Oh, that's nice.
Kind of like a one hit wonder.
I just love it when you say that.
They love that.
What have you been doing?
Just my craft for ages.
Thanks for listening.
Five more albums after that one song everybody knew.
Oh, cool.
That's cool.
So they've recently moved into a new house and they were very much involved
in the design and construction.
So when they
did the couple's bathroom,
they requested something a little bit
different. His and
her showers or
you know, I've always thought a double
shower heads would be cool.
People always do the double basins
with the mirrors,
which is great because you can get ready at the same time.
Yeah.
But, like, how cool would double showers be?
So cool.
But then you'd have to have good pressure.
I wouldn't forego the pressure.
Otherwise you'd get angry at your partner for trying to shower at the same time as you because you'd be like, yeah, this is good,
and then they'd jump in and steal half the pressure.
Yeah.
I'd need to sort the pressure out, but that would be absolutely amazing.
Yeah.
So she said when they built the new house, they were kind of like,
is there anything weird or special you want?
And so she was like, can we please have two toilets next to each other?
His and hers toilets.
They literally have, exactly how you're picturing it in your mind,
two normal toilets side by side.
You probably wouldn't even be able to stand in between them. They're that close it in your mind. Two normal toilets, side by side. You probably wouldn't even be able
to stand in between them.
They're that close.
Really?
Yeah.
She said that because they had a baby,
they often have to pee at the same time.
But wouldn't you have a toilet in another room?
You go to separate toilets.
But yeah, and then she said,
to put everyone's mind at ease,
we've only pooped together twice.
So why do you need these toilets?
If it's something that's only occurred twice.
No, on these toilets at the same time.
No, but that's what I'm saying.
They've only needed to poop at the same time twice.
Well, no, because they pee together often.
Does he sit down to pee?
I don't know.
Surely not.
It might be a good chance
for them to catch up.
But then that would be weird
if someone was sitting
and you were standing
and you were peeing
right beside each other.
Also, like,
it doesn't matter
how much you love your partner,
poos is poos.
Yuck.
I am not,
we don't have an open door policy
in the bathroom.
Right.
Showering, yes,
not when you go into the toilet.
Well, I was all about
the open door policy until Sade critiqued my wipe.
Okay.
And then I was like, you know what?
You can't be here for my wipe.
You can be here for my business, but you can't be here for my wipe.
Oh, okay.
She laughed at me because I stood.
She laughed because I stood.
We'd been married for like-
I stand.
I know.
We'd been married for nine years.
So we'd been together 15 years.
And she's like, wait a minute, what's going on here?
I'm like, what do you mean?
She's like, you stand to wipe?
I'm like, I'm not sitting and wiping.
I'm not sitting and wiping.
I'm a stand to wiper.
I'm a guy thing though, because like you're used to standing for half the time in your toiletries anyway.
Yeah.
Oh, stand to wipe.
Angles.
Yeah, angles.
Really get in there.
Yeah, really get in there.
I don't need my husband to know about if I stand or sit.
Do you know what he does?
No.
I reckon he'd be a sitter.
Okay.
What does that mean?
A sit and wipe.
And a foam.
I was going to say he probably takes a quainter dump.
I know he does a dab for number ones.
Because the toilet paper gets torn up on the roll
and I'm like,
what happens there?
Oh, does he not take a whole square?
He tears some off.
What?
No, he doesn't take a whole square.
Even if you're going to dab
after a number one
just to, you know,
clean up any residue.
I don't have one.
I can't comment.
I'll take a whole square.
Right.
It's not World War II.
We're not rationing loom paper.
Yeah, does he hang the tea bags out
to give them to the guy?
I mean, come on. Does he wash a plastic bag for another? No, no. We're not rationing loo paper. Yeah, does he hang the tea bags out to give them to the guys?
Come on.
Does he wash a plastic bag for another?
No, no.
Well, off the back of Megan Trainor and her husband sitting side by side on matching toilets,
we'd like to know what you and your partner do
that is a little bit weird.
Gross and cutesy.
It could be cutesy, yeah.
That everyone else is like, you do what?
I could almost imagine
you and Mr Toyboy having matching
toilets. There's bound to
be something we do that everyone thinks is weird, but
when you're in it, I don't think it's
weird. What do we do?
We're very, like, very
lovey-dovey. Right. So you
want those kind of things that
show how close couples are
that some people might find a bit
like when couples pick
each other's pimples
yeah some people do
that with people they're
not even partners with
that yeah that's weird
how long do you leave
it before you
I don't like stranger
pass
you what
I don't like stranger
pass
oh I thought you said
I like strangers pass
I was like you must
leave
yeah how long do you
dive in for a pimple
pop how long do you
leave it?
He doesn't let me, ever.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
All right.
Well, 0800DARLS.M is the number you can text as well.
9696.
How close are you with your partner?
Is there something you do that people are like, nah.
But we're talking about those gross, weird little habits you have as a couple.
You're so close and other people think, oh, that's weird.
Yeah.
Megan Trainor and her husband have matching toilets next to each other
so they can poop at the same time.
We are endeavouring to get somebody on the phone.
We just hope they answer when we call.
Oh, please answer.
It's out there, man.
It's the weirdest.
Erica, what do you and your partner do?
We often share toothbrushes.
Wait, wait.
You only have one toothbrush,
or in a pinch you would use each other's toothbrush?
Well, it's more my partner than me,
but I will have a toothbrush,
and he just won't buy one or won't get one,
so he just uses mine more often than not.
They're like $3, Erica. I know.
I didn't know about it for a while
until he kind of
confessed to it, and then I guess I just
was like, oh, well, he's been doing it for so long, I guess
I don't really mind anymore. Yeah, it's gross, but
in a pinch, you'd let it happen.
But he's just... Yeah.
Wow. Good luck
out there. Good luck. I mean, he kissed
the dude. Anything in his mouth is probably in your mouth anyway.
Exactly.
Some messages in.
So many coming in.
A reply on Instagram.
I let him shave my armpits.
You let him.
So that means he's arsed.
No, I wouldn't let anyone shave me.
You're the razor?
Yeah.
You're not a control.
The angle, the pressure.
I tell you what, we're hearing from a few people who've got the old dual shower head.
Oh, good stuff.
Yes.
And do they recommend it?
As long as the pressure.
Or does it make the shower pressure go half and half?
I know they said it's fine, but I guess they built their house,
so they must have specifically, you know, that must have been as specific.
They are living the dream, these people.
But no reports of matching toilets.
Somebody said we're a nine-hour drive away from each other,
but we still do all of our business on FaceTime together,
like even have showers at the same time.
Your phone would get foggy.
Oh, just so I call you back in five, I'm having a shower.
I could understand if you sat down for a long toilet break,
you might keep on FaceTime.
How close are you and your partner?
It started out weird and now I just, I don't know, I feel dirty.
Guys, you are grim.
How close are you and your partner?
Maybe other people find these habits gross.
Jennifer, what do you and your partner do?
Every time we have a cappuccino or a frothy sort of coffee together,
I give him the froth off my coffee.
That's pretty cute.
So do you, like, scoop it into his coffee so he's got extra froth?
Yes.
Or he'll just take the froth off the top and then I'll drink it.
Yeah.
Will he go...
See, you know what, Jennifer?
Thank you, because that's cute.
We needed the light-hearted one.
Jennifer, if you've got fragile ears, I'd recommend just taking five
because we are hearing from, yeah, there are some out there ones.
Charlotte, what do you and your partner do?
We share.
I'm a little bit like, oh, God, hopefully someone else does this.
We share the same towel after the shower.
Oh, okay.
And do you put the towel back and use it every day or do you get a clean one every day?
Well, no, we do change it out a lot more regularly than others.
So I guess that's probably the bonus.
But I sort of guess we're like, it's a clean body, which we're just drying it.
Yeah, but who goes first? I'm starting to assume that no one else does this, so we're like, it's a clean body. We're just drying it.
Yeah, but who goes first?
I'm starting to assume that no one else does this, so I'm like, shit.
Because men famously drag a lot more water out of the shower than females.
This is very true.
So we do change it a lot because my husband tends to sort of nab it first and I get quite pissed off with that.
Right, yeah, you need to go first.
If only you could have your own towel, Charlotte.
Well, you know what? It's so far away. Yeah, yeah, you need to go first. If only you could have your own towel, Charlotte. Well, you know what?
It's so far away.
Yeah, this is the compromise.
Okay, well, you know what, Charlotte? That's not even
on the worst end of things.
You weren't the only text. You're not alone.
You're not alone. Charlotte, thank you. Our message is in.
My ex used to
pick my belly button lint. She
considered it a real treat.
Cuddle me up onto the couch, roll up my t-shirt and start... That's kind of cute.
Picking the lint out.
Um, yeah, there's...
I tell you what, lots of people sharing towels.
Lots of people saying that towels are absolutely...
Oh, so not alone there.
No, no, we cut each other's toenails.
Oh, I couldn't let someone do that to me.
No, because that's like the shaving.
You need to know how close you're going.
But they get a pedicure, don't you?
Yeah.
And they shape your toenails and stuff.
They're professionals.
Don't you and Mr. Toyboy give each other food?
You feed each other?
I feel like Vaughn's told you.
Wasn't you told off?
I've told somebody off for feeding another adult at the table.
Yeah.
We were out for dinner and they fed each other and I was like,
excuse me, we're at a restaurant and we were all adults.
But I don't know, I feel like...
More than likely.
Definitely you are capable of it, but I feel like...
Right.
There's not too many people I'd be comfortable telling off in public.
You are one of them.
Well, the things that you do with your partner,
the close things you do that other people might find gross.
Gazza?
Hey, team, how's it going?
Good, thank you.
How close are you and your wife?
What do you do?
I think some of the things, she helps me pee sometimes.
She helps you pee?
How does she do it?
She holds it?
Yeah, yeah.
So when we first got together, it was sort of, you know,
love at first sight and whatnot.
And she sort of yelled one time from the lounge, you know,
do you need some help?
And I was like, yeah, sure, go on.
So she came flying in.
But when I'm flying in, she could have meant anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, and proceeded to hold it and shake it.
Not more than twice, otherwise, you know.
Yeah, that's the rules.
Yeah.
Okay.
So she does this more than once.
She's done this more than once.
Oh, at least once, maybe once a week.
It's fascinating for women because we're not used to pointing and aiming.
So I kind of get it.
That's the good thing is that if she misses
then I can just keep blaming her.
Dude.
Gazza, thank you for sharing.
Alright, thanks. Have a good one. Thanks, guys.
Yeah, you too, Gazza.
This text kind of
y'all need Jesus.
Y'all need Jesus Y'all need Jesus
Not wrong
I'm happy that Gazer and his wife are happy
You know
Somebody said I bought one of those things
And I've seen these advertised
They look like a pen spring
Like you know
You know springs from inside pens
Yeah
Maybe a little more tightly wound
On the end of a stick
Yeah
And they
To get earwax out of your ear.
Because the idea is you just put them in and then you just twist them in.
Oh, that doesn't sound good.
It's better than, because when you go in with a cotton bud, it can just push it down.
Now I've got a gaping ear hole, so I've got no problem with a cotton bud.
I can go in and absolutely clean as a whistle.
But since we've got this machine, since we've got this stick,
I love cleaning my partner's air wax out with it.
It's an absolute treat.
I chew the skin off my husband's fingers when mine are too sort of chewed.
Oh no, that's nasty.
I do that to myself. I wouldn't do it to another
human. Yeah.
Because you wouldn't know when to stop.
Because you know when to stop on yourself
because it starts to hurt.
A few
pimple poppers. A A few pimple poppers.
A few back pimple poppers.
That's the light
end of the stick, really.
There's some we can't read.
What about the
are you going to read out the lesbians one?
Yeah, when my partner does wheeze
I'm not going to be sick.
I just realised I need to
catch up with your swallowing.
Okay, me too. Are we all. Catch up with your swallowing. Yeah. Okay.
Me too.
Are we all up to date with our swallowing?
Yeah.
These lesbians have got us worked up, haven't they?
No.
You know what?
For the first time in my life, I can proudly say they haven't.
When my partner is going wheeze, I'll just sit on her lap for a few extra cuddles.
Wow.
Just wait a minute and then get cuddles.
Why just sit on someone's lap on a toilet?
They're happy.
I mean, they said it works both ways.
They both will do it to each other.
Right.
Okay.
I'm going to try that today.
I was going to say, don't knock it till you try it.
I'm going to bust the door open like the Kool-Aid jug.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. And then she's going to be like don't knock it till you try it. I'm going to bust the door open like the Kool-Aid jug. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
And then she's going to be like, what are you doing?
And I'm going to be like, it's time for some extra cuddles, baby.
And then I'm going to sit on her lap.
And tomorrow when she divorces me, Fletch, I'm going to need to stay in your spare room.
Absolutely.

Soundkeeper Al's is standing by and we welcome Kate.
Good morning.
Hello.
All right, Kate. You sound very happy this morning, very chipper.
I am.
Oh, my gosh, I would have pressed that redial button,
I reckon, about 90-something times.
Well, it worked.
I got through.
It's worked, it's worked.
You managed to get through.
Now, Soundkeeper Owls is standing by.
This is the secret sound.
A lot of people think maybe it's wooden or is it something clicking into place or rolling into place?
Yeah.
Sliding.
What do you think it is, Kate, for $10,000?
So what I thought is once a vaccination needle,
you've had your vaccination, right?
Yep. And the needle is, the used needle is getting disposed of,
like put into that used needle disposer.
So it clicks down, you know, once the nurse has done their thing and the needle clicks into that disposer. So it clicks down, you know, once the nurse has done their thing
and the needle clicks into that disposer.
Do you sometimes see those in, like, public toilets
where people can dispose of it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, same thing.
Yeah.
Right.
Did you hear this when you got vaccinated?
Yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, that yellow box that they have attached to the wall,
that safety disposer box. So I just thought, oh, yeah, that yellow box that they have attached to the wall, that safety disposal box.
So I just thought, oh, you know, vaccination is so massive at the moment.
And I thought, oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
We are being paid to tell everyone about it, aren't we?
No, we're part of the media.
That was sarcasm.
Soundkeeper Owls, are you vaccinated?
I am.
I'm double vaxxed, baby.
Double vaxxed.
Congratulations.
Well, that means you've had two opportunities to record that sound.
That is true.
I could have brought my little recorder device into the booth.
I am scared of getting vaccines, though.
So was I focused on getting it recorded?
Are you scared of the needle?
Yes, a little bit.
It was a bit of a moment.
But I'm okay.
Did you see the thing, quick side note,
did you see the thing that's been developed?
It was on 7 Sharp last night.
They've developed, like, it's a phobia thing.
You wear, like, augmented reality goggles
and it slowly gets you used to the things you're scared of.
Oh, okay.
It's been developed by this,
yeah, it's been developed by this Auckland company.
It's very futuristic.
Well, for $10,000
Is it the
secret sound?
No, I'm sorry
Katie, it is not.
Hello.
Please.
Okay.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Not a bad guess.
We do have this week, though, every guess it gets on here,
a one-month Neon subscription.
So you've got that.
Yay.
Thank you so much.
Well done.
Awesome.
And 11 o'clock is your next shot at the Secret Sound Thanks to Neon

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan.
Well, earlier in the week, was it Tuesday?
It was Tuesday, yeah.
Tuesday.
I got a speeding ticket on the way to work.
My bad.
In Vaud's defence, they moved the signs.
They changed the speed limit.
It was an 80 and they've moved the 60 a few more hundred metres down
and I got pinged just going into the new 60 going 80.
But somehow that defence didn't stop you from getting a ticket.
No.
And so then I've ever since, gosh,
I've just been really paying extra attention to the signs.
I've been obeying the speed limit.
Yeah.
You're on good behaviour.
But this morning on the way to work I got pulled over again.
Same place or
different? No, no, no. This was on like the side
of the motorway. So different cop?
Different cop. Okay. Different cop.
So this is why
yesterday Fletch messaged me saying
don't hate me and I was like oh my god
what have you done? What?
What have you done?
Don't hate me but I need you to come in here. That's done? Don't hate me, but I need you to come in here.
Because I'm beautiful.
Don't hate me, but you're going to need to bail me out.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't hate me, but I'm the gang leader that...
I've been caught going to Carpia with these baggies.
With drugs.
And I'm in trumps.
Don't hate me, but I'm going to have to recall my bicycle and pump.
Or two later, I hate you.
For wanting to bring your own back.
You have been enjoying in lockdown
level three here in Auckland using my bicycle.
But no, it's this push
that makes me need to purchase my own
bicycle. Yeah, well I've been
walking, because I've been doing walks.
Yeah. And now I'm allowed to cycle,
my physio says. Oh. Progress
guys, progress. And I've seen heaps of, my physio says. Oh. Progress, guys, progress.
And I've seen heaps of bike shops open.
But I don't know if they let you try them out.
No, I don't think so. Because you want to try them.
You want to try before you buy the old bicycle.
So you said you've done your online physio
and he wants me to get out there hitting the roads back.
I said, absolutely not a problem.
I'll bring it in tomorrow.
So I, this morning before coming to work,
gave myself an extra five to safely load
fletcher's bike onto the back of the car the car i took shardae's car because it's got a tow bar
and we've got one of those old things from the 1980s that like screws onto the toe the old bike
and i think pretty sure i stole it from my parents One of those things where one day you're like, I'm going to borrow this. And they're like, don't answer.
And you're like, mine.
So I got my lawnmower too.
Can I buy a lawnmower?
My old lawnmower.
Can I buy a lawnmower?
Okay.
And they didn't miss a lawnmower.
I think they just forced their hand to buy a new one.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
So, yeah, I've got this bike rack.
So I put that on.
Load your bike on.
Safely secure it.
Did you use one of those elastic bandy stretchy things?
It's an old tire tube.
Oh, okay, that doesn't sound safe.
You hook it over the top and then you tie it around the bottom.
Okay.
And then I also, because I am aware that if you don't tie the tire to the frame,
the handle can go flop, flop, flop on the way in.
So I tied that.
Secure load.
I'm on the way to work.
I'm not breaking the speed limit because I've set the cruise control in Sade's car.
Okay.
To 109 kilometres an hour.
It's 110 they get you.
I reckon they'll let it slide.
That's not a thing.
At that time in the morning, they're going to let you hit 110.
Unless your speedo's out by one and you're going 110.
Right, okay.
But then you're going to be like, come on.
So you get a ticket for going 109.
No.
I get pulled over.
No ticket issued.
They just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing an early morning barrier break.
Because I had a bike on the back.
It looked like I'd packed up the family and we were trying to get out of town for the school holidays.
Because it's school holidays as well.
And I'm driving our Santa Fe, so family vehicle.
Bike on the back.
Really early in the morning.
I'm fitting.
I'm ticking all the boxes.
I'm being an entitled prank with a beach house, you know.
Except you don't have the beach house.
I don't have the beach house.
No.
So they pull over and there was the usual, like you get pulled over and then they wait a bit and they're obviously just running your plates
to make sure.
Yeah.
They need to work out if they need the shotgun out of the boot.
They come out and they're like, get out of the car.
And he's like, hi.
And I was like, good morning.
And he's like, where are you off to?
And I said, work.
And it's the first time I've shown my essential workers letter.
Oh.
Damn it.
I'm amazed that you even printed that out and have it in the car.
No, I'm executive intern.
Anya printed it out for me.
And I put it in my bag.
I said, it's in here somewhere.
And I was like, you know how my bag's like literally.
Oh, yeah.
My bag's just full of all this crazy junk.
Was it covered in squished banana?
Yeah.
Yeah, there was a bit of old banana.
There's some masks.
What's that?
Some stickers.
A book about Kiwi toilets.
Yeah. Great. And then I found my essential workers letter. about Kiwi toilets. Yeah, great.
And then I found my essential workers letter
and it was like, oh yeah, so not off for a holiday.
I was like, oh God, I wish, eh?
And it was like...
And we both cried.
Okay.
And I thought it was very therapeutic for the both of us.
Okay, great.
Because, you know, this man is a front line officer.
Absolutely.
He's probably seen some bloody awful things.
Oh, yeah.
All the time.
Let alone now.
So we cried.
Yeah.
Had it been a different level, we may have embraced.
Yeah.
But we didn't embrace.
Right.
And then he just let you on your way.
And then he was like, have a good day.
I said, you also have a great day.
That's lovely.
And then went to work.
Do you think it was in his system that two days earlier
you'd been caught speeding?
Different car.
Oh, yes. Different car, but same licence.
Yeah, but
he looked at the licence
but it wasn't like he scanned it like last time.
He was literally just like, what's up?
Yeah, right.
I'm not off to the beach house.
We can only dream. Yeah, right. Yeah. I'm not off to the beach house. I'm not off to the beach house.
We can only dream.

Samantha, welcome to Refund Your Date.
This is a segment of the show where we hear about people,
in this case, Samantha, who you all just met,
about their date that they said was so bad
they could probably do
with a refund of it.
Yeah.
Of what it cost them.
So now is when we hear the song.
The song,
we hear the story.
You can sing it if you want.
If you want us to provide
some instrumental backing track
so you can sing the story
of your bad date,
that's something we can do.
Beyonce got to you,
didn't she?
Yeah.
If you want everybody
to switch off the radio,
I could sing,
but it's probably
not the best idea.
No, this is good.
At least you know
your own ability there,
Samantha.
We won't see you
making a fool of yourself
in the first few episodes
of a televised talent show,
will we?
No.
Samantha, tell us
what happened on this date.
So I chatted with this guy
on Tinder
and then he sort of said, let's go out for dinner. So I chatted with this guy on Tinder,
and then he sort of said, let's go out for dinner.
So we went out for dinner, and we sort of got some food,
and, like, the conversation was pretty stale.
And so then it came to, like, the waiter coming up and asking if we wanted desserts,
and I was kind of like, surely not.
Like, we're not going to go ahead with this.
And he just ordered two desserts, and I was like, okay. I wasn't
really that keen on it. Two desserts?
Like, one for him, one for me.
What desserts did he order, though?
Tell me the flavours.
Oh, they were chocolate brownies.
Two chocolate brownies. I know wrong with chocolate brownie,
yeah. Okay, okay.
So it was good, like, but then I had
some of it, but I wasn't that hungry, so then he
like, ended up finishing off mine. Yeah. But then I had some of it, but I wasn't that hungry. So then he, like, ended up finishing off mine.
Yeah.
And then I went off to the toilet,
just sort of before we, like, part ways and whatnot.
Okay.
And then I come back out and he's not at the table.
And I was like, okay.
Maybe he's just gone to the toilet himself.
Okay.
About, I want to say about maybe 10 minutes went by
and I'm kind of sitting there, I'm like, this has been a while, like, kind of excessive on a date to go to the toilet himself. Okay. About, I want to say about maybe 10 minutes went by and I'm kind of sitting there,
I'm like, this has been a while,
like kind of excessive on a date
to go to the toilet for that long.
So I went to the bathroom
and a guy was coming out
and I said to him,
is there anybody else in there?
And he's like, no, no, there's nobody in there.
And I was like, okay.
So I was kind of like,
I wanted to think the best in people.
So I kind of just was like,
what do I do here?
Like, I don't want to just leave.
And then I hop onto Tinder where we were chatting and he's unmatched me,
which means he's no longer in my chats for me to message him.
Oh my God.
He dine and dashed.
Yeah, and I was like, this is really awkward.
So then I go up to like the register to talk to them about like paying for it and he didn't pay for
anything. He literally just left
and I was kind of like, I'm
pretty sure he planned this from the get go.
Oh my god!
Because why would he have ordered desserts?
Like that was where I was like, okay, this
conversation's not great. Why would we continue this
any longer? And I think he did it
and then he finished mine and I was like, dude, this guy's
just trying to get a full on meal. And then he finished mine and I was like, dude, this guy's just trying to get a full on meal.
And then he scarps.
And he left,
yeah.
Had beers,
had some ribs.
I can't be angry
at the guy
who had beer
and ribs and brownie.
Those were faves.
I would have asked
the restaurant
for the security camera footage
and I would have like
got my money's worth
out of paying
for his dinner.
Spread it online. He was like, I'm not paying for it and was like, I think money's worth out of paying for his dinner. Spread it online.
He was like, I think Tinder's not for me.
So you never, like, tracked him down afterwards or never heard about him ever again?
Well, there's not really a whole lot of personal details on Tinder, you know.
It's just the name.
Once he blocks you.
Yeah, once he's done that, it's kind of like, I didn't have his phone number.
I didn't know, like, his surname to find him on Facebook
and be like, dude, you owe me half his meal.
You've really got to stalk these people pre-date, Samantha.
Get her Instagram, get his number.
Well, when you're married for a period of time
and then you become single,
you're kind of new to this whole Tinder buzz.
Oh, my God, that's my worst nightmare,
that I'll get dumped and have to go on Tinder.
All right, Samantha, how much did this date come to after he dined and dashed you?
It cost me $170.90.
$170.
Is that P-O-S?
Yeah.
So what part of the country are you in?
In Hamilton.
In Hamilton, okay.
So what's his name?
First name.
But you said you never found out his last name, right?
No, I never found out his last name.
So let's have a...
It was Jeff.
Jeff?
Oh, don't go on a date with a Jeff.
What sort of age range is Jeff?
He was 35.
Jeff was 35.
And what was this?
According to his Tinder profile.
That was this year?
Yeah.
Or would Jeff be older than that?
Yeah, it was back in May.
Okay, in May. We just hear a 35-year-old called Jeff in Hamilton.
Dine and dash.
Dine and dash.
And our friend Samantha.
With the bill.
That is unbelievable.
Be warned.
He contacts ZM so I can get my money back.
Yes, Jeff.
Do the right thing, Jeff.
Well, Samantha, that's why you're on the phone with us,
because it is refund your date.
We're going to put the refund now into the date refund of $3,000.
Yes, correct.
Your date refund request has been...
Absa Jeff and Lutely.
Refund.
Congratulations.
So $170, Samantha.
All yours.
Well done.
So now he owes you guys, not me.
Yeah, he does.
No, don't worry.
We're the Bay Corp of radio stations, baby.
We're taking on that debt, and we're going to go around in baseball batters' kneecaps.
Yeah, so if your name's Jeff, and you're around that age, and you live in Hamilton,

Fact of the day, day what the best thing before sliced bread was.
The best thing since sliced bread.
Since sliced bread.
The best thing since a loaf of bread.
When sliced bread was announced, it was referred to as the greatest step forward in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.
Oh, the greatest thing since bread was wrapped.
So before you said this is the best thing since sliced bread.
Yeah.
Which if you've tried to cut your own loaf over lockdown, maybe you baked your own loaf.
One side's always thick.
The other side is thin.
Yeah, and if it's like super fresh bread
and you're going through it with the knife,
you can't push down on it or you'll squish your bread.
It's a tough one.
You squish your bread.
It's hard out there.
It's tough.
It's the last thing I needed.
Luckily, they slice it for you.
Yeah, I know.
So good.
So good.
But what about buns?
What about if you're making burgers and you've got to slice your own buns?
Most burger buns are pre-sliced now, though, aren't they?
Have you tried those bread-ish buns yet?
No.
Oh, I haven't tried those ones you recommended.
From the supermarket.
You simply must.
Are they made in New Zealand?
No.
They must be.
No, they must be.
You wouldn't get internationally shipped bread. That's bloody be. No, they must be. You wouldn't get internationally shipped bread.
That's bloody madness.
No, they must be.
It's madness.
You know, it's great.
They're brioche, best burger buns ever.
Are you Googling to find out what name they are again?
In the blue packet at Countdown.
I don't know if other supermarkets have it.
They might.
They might.
I haven't seen it at my New World.
It's Brioche Gourmet is the brand.
Okay, well well you can source
your own burger buns.
No, no, no, no.
This is a journey
we're all on.
No, you can source
your burger buns later.
Brioche burger buns
with sesame seeds?
Yeah, there's a range.
There's rolls.
Oh, okay.
These look great.
Also, bring a hot dog
with a brioche bun.
Can you please all try that?
A hot dog?
Yeah.
I would.
A brioche bun dog bun.
So it's still the same shape.
But it's brioched.
I'd run for parliament on making all bread brioche from now on.
What?
Again, explain to me.
This has been explained to me before.
What's the difference between standard bread and brioche?
I don't know, but it's butter.
Yeah, lots of butter.
More butter.

In the place of what?
Milk.
Space.
So no ear holes.
They fill the ear holes with butter.
I'm on board.
Basically.
I'm on board.
And I also want to say, I didn't need convincing because I have tasted brioche and I'm like,
this is delicious, but I just needed to know the background of it.
Made in France.
Well, how's that getting here?
It's still so fresh. How's that getting here so fresh? I don't know. Good background of it. Made in France. Well, how's that getting here? It's still so frosh.

Good luck.
Magic, okay.
Just magic.
You're right.

this was in 1928, by the way, we're only like, hang in there.
We're seven years off celebrating the 100th anniversary of sliced bread.
I'm so warm and excited. If you needed any reason to hang in there. Yep, that's it. Hang in there we're seven years off celebrating the 100th anniversary of sliced bread I'm excited

yeah I don't think
it will
put me out of my misery
but when sliced bread was first announced in 1928,
it was referred to as the greatest step forward in the baking industry
since bread was wrapped.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, The whole thing is if you're going to sneeze, never hold it in.
But what about now in the COVID world?
I had to sneeze the other day in public and I was just like, oh, my God. So self-conscious.
I know.
You're ready for men in, like, pink boiler suits to pop out and grab you.
Yes.
You're coming with us, number four, five, six.
Yeah.
What, because I sneezed?
Yeah, this is how we do it now.
But, yeah, apparently apparently According to the experts
You can permanently
Injure your throat or lungs
Well yeah because it's a
Whole lot of expulsion pressure
Right so
And it's all connected
I would have thought
It would blow your eardrums
I know someone that put their
Maybe their neck out
Or something
Because they
Tried to like
Stifle their sneeze
And hold it in. Right.
And you just can do yourself damage.
That's so powerful. Somebody, I know
like they got a, you know,
every now and then someone will have a red
blot on their eye and they've like popped a blood vessel
in their eye from like screaming or
I know someone that did that bungee jumping.
Yeah, so the same thing, the pressure, they
said that it was a sneeze that they went
and they just like backfired inside their face
Like a
Yeah
So this is what I wanted to
On the back of this article
Ask this morning
Right now
If anybody listening
Has had a sneeze injury
Like maybe it wasn't
Necessarily
Maybe you sneezed
But then you tripped
Right
Or maybe you sneezed
And you were trying to hold it in
And you put yourself out
Your back out
Or your neck
I always think like
You know
A sneeze I always think like, you know,
a sneeze.
I always think about when I see Formula One.
I'm like, they're going so fast.
Not necessarily sneezes,
but I'm like,
if just one little thing went wrong
and they're like, ah,
like a rabbit ran on the road.
I even think like,
if I was busting
and I had to drive a Formula One car,
that would still affect my driving.
Yeah.
Oh my God, I was busting.
Yeah, but you imagine if you were driving a Formula One car and you were going my driving. Yeah. Oh my God, that's exhausting. Yeah, but you imagine
if you were driving
a Formula One car
and you were going
through one of those
tight chicanes
and you're like,
you just went boom
and your Ferrari
would be like.
That's why they always
check the pollen forecast.
Right.
For spring races.
And they all take
their anti-estimates.
They have to squirt up
the old schnozzle
before they start
to reduce hay fever symptoms.
So 0800-DARLS-IT-M.
I want to take some calls now and you can text 9696.
Have you ever had a sneeze injury from either holding it in or you've sneezed and something's happened?
Driving heavy machinery.
Maybe you were driving and had a sneeze and you crashed.
Sneeze injuries.
Lots of them. How about this one? and you crash. Sneeze injuries.
Lots of them.
How about this one?
Is holding sneezes in a legit thing?
I have to get a needle in the eyeball every eight weeks due to a burst blood vessel.
I had no idea why it happened,
but I've always held my sneezes in.
There's correlation there, but it's not causation.
Well, I'm not a medical professional.
But maybe you should mention it to your medical professional.
And see what they say.
Because that pressure's got to go somewhere, doesn't it?
That's why these injuries are happening.
Yeah.
I sneezed and cracked my ribs.
Good Lord.
Says another text message.
Wild.
I've been known to sneeze 30 times in a row.
Try that while driving.
You just have to pull over.
I've also put my neck out three times while sneezing as well.
Isn't that that thing they say that...
No, it's not true because I always sneeze five times in a row.
Yeah, but is eight the magic number?
Eight equals the big O.
Well, I haven't...
It doesn't give you it.
I thought you'd just be there just like...
It definitely doesn't.
I'm definitely dying.
What was that noise again?
That's an orgasm, right?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what they sound like.
Okay.
I've never heard a female one.
Try as I might.
Try as I might.
I've given them a God's best, you know.
They're a myth, aren't they?
I've never been there during one.
What's that?
You've never been there during one?
No, no, God, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
I've seen them on computers, but I think they're actors.
Right, okay.
It's like a unicorn, you know.
I've seen one of those in a movie as well,
but it doesn't mean they're real.
Mason, you've had a sneezing injury?
Yeah, I have the
attempt. Okay, so what happened?
So it was actually my brother's
wedding. Okay.
I got up to do my normal thing and give the old speech
for the old brother. Yep.
I sort of had a bit of a sneeze, so I asked everyone if they could
sort of hold off for a bit to get this old sneeze out and after sneezing i ended up turning into shrek
um my left eye socket actually puffed up and slowed up couldn't see out of my left eye and
i thought everyone was laughing at my joke but it turned out they were laughing at me you sneezed
your eyeball out yeah so my um left eye socket actually inflated.
Oh my God!
So what had happened was...
Oh wait, so it went in under the air that you would usually sneeze out, went under the skin?
Went under the skin and straight up through into the eye socket there, champ.
Oh no!
I love it how everyone's just laughing at you, like no one's like, um, Mason are you okay?
Oh exactly, I thought my joke was hilarious but it turns out it wasn't a joke at all.
And so did you have to leave your brother's wedding and just go to hospital?
I stayed there for an extra couple of hours. I actually thought I was going to be in there
for the night. So I thought, well, I'll drink as much as I can and then I can get it done.
Jesus.
Save on anesthetic.
As Kiwi as it gets, isn't it? Brilliant.
Exactly.
And then, so What did they do
When you went to A&E
So I went to A&M
Initially I spoke to them
And she wasn't looking at me
So I thought
Oh you know
It can't be too bad
And she sort of looked up
To take the last bit
Of my details
And she was like
Oh right
We're going to have to
Get you straight in there now
So we went straight to A&M
Why was no one
At the wedding
Saying that to you
Oh was that sorry Why was no one At the wedding saying that to you?
What was that, sorry?
Why was no one at the wedding acting like that?
Oh, they all fucking thought it was funny. We were all sitting there half-puss, half-eye.
Like, you know, we're just having a good day.
You're like, ha, your eye's hanging out here.
And they don't want to take responsibility for it
because then they've got to leave the wedding
and take it to the hospital.
That's not the worst part, Shem.
The worst part is they've got it all on bloody camera. That's not the worst part, Tim. They got it all on bloody camera.
That's good.
Amazing. Mason, thank you for sharing
some text messages in to finish
up. I was off work eight months
with a damaged disc in my back. Went back to
work for a month. I felt a sneeze coming on. I was
like, uh-oh. Sneeze redamaged my back
six months more.
You've got to let it out, these sneezes.
Yeah.
Are you pre-reading?
Pre-reading that one.
Oh, okay.
I'm 35 weeks pregnant.
This is not where the sneeze story's going.
Right.
Car crash.
I got hit from behind.
Two nights in hospital because it started very strong contractions.
Didn't know when I was really in labour.
A few weeks later, because those contractions never stopped,
they just carried on.
I had a condition where I had to have a C-section, so I wasn't allowed was really in labour. A few weeks later, because those contractions never stopped, they just carried on. I had a condition where I had to have a C-section,
so I wasn't allowed to be in labour.
So not knowing the difference, it was, you know, nearly catastrophic.
Turns out it was all triggered by the car crash.
The guy behind me had sneezed.
What?
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Somebody else said sneezed.
Okay, we're all waiting.
We're all waiting for you, bloody.
Fill us in.
You all right there?
Okay.
Breathe.
Sneezed once and shat myself in the car.
I did have a crook guts and I knew it was only a sneeze away.
Oh, no.
That's the worst. I was like, Megan and I, when was only a sneeze away oh no that's the worst
Megan and I when we're leaving work
we like check that
we don't need to go to the toilet
just check because we both drive
about the same distance
and nothing's worse than
just leaving work
and then being like
oh should have gone when I went
definitely happened
get it on
