Welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's all thanks to McDonald's. Your Macca's favourites are back at drive-thru and McDelivery. ZM. Hit music. Live the air. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. The light at the end of the lockdown tunnel. Oh, I know. It's so close. Not yet, not yet. So close, it's so close. We know a bit more of what it's going to look like, but we don't know when it's coming. Let's not hurry this thing.

We can go to it. So long. Get our hair done. You're talking to two bald men, Megan. Get our nails done. Do you want to come with me and get your nails done? I think the technical term, the objective for getting your nails is getting your nails dead.

Getting my nails dead. Getting my nails dead. We could get our nails done. I've not been chewing mine a bit in lockdown. You can getting your nails dead. Getting my nails dead? Getting my nails dead. We could get our nails done. I've not been chewing mine in lockdown. You can get your nails dead. Dead, okay, sure. Getting my nails dead. Miss Elliot, remember the great philosopher. Are we going to be able to get relaxing time

massages? Yeah, I believe so. Really? Those are very touchy. Yeah, they're probably going to have to wear a PPE. So, I mean, it's going to be relaxing but you'll, like... And instead of oils, they're using hand sanitizer. It's rubbing all over my body. Can you imagine getting a relaxing massage and they're wearing latex gloves?

Oh, baby. Like, just imagine that. Oh, my hairs. It's pulling my hairs. And they're like... Rather than the, you know, the gentle lapping of oil being poured from a small ceramic jar, it's like... God, imagine how bad you'd smell after a rubdown with...

Bad shit you'd smell clean. Hand sanitizer. The Prime Minister joins us on the show this morning at 10 to 8 to discuss the move whenever that happens. And she was careful to reiterate that at their press conference yesterday. No decisions being made yet. No decisions being made. She'll be

on the phone with us at 10 to 8 this morning. The top six coming up. Mother's Day on Sunday. Yeah, the top six ideas for a last minute Mother's Day gift from inside the bubble. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. A survey's been done and it's found that parents are opting for more positive-sounding baby names.

Hmm. Just recently. As opposed to what? Naming their kids negative? No, just neutral. Right. What's a neutral name? Claire.

No, because the skies are clear, you know? Yeah, okay. That can be positive. I always call Claire's Claire Bear. Megan. And then that makes me feel... Yep, Megan's pretty neutral. Neutral, neutral.

Megan even sounds negative because... Why? Megan. Megan. Meg. Neg. Neg, negative. Yeah, negative.

It's got an N in it. Negative. At the end, that could be at the start. Right. Okay, sure. My name's Megan. That's spelled M in it. Negative. At the end, that could be at the start. Right. Okay, sure. Vaughn. My name's Megan. That's spelled M-E-G.

They're like N-E-G. Oh, my God. Negative. Like that. Vaughn. That's just a noise. Yeah. So what are positive baby names?

So they've categorized them. There's hero names like Bravery, Florence, Maverick, Hero, just straight up Hero. Okay. Or Wix. What's Wix? Is Wix a hero? That's a Twix. Is Wix a hero from something? Because Maverick's... Wix is

create your own website. Okay. Virtuous names Hope, Faith, Charity, True, Constance, Patience, Promise. This is hippie stuff. This is that. This is Gloria Vale. This is real hippie.

Yeah, that Gloria Vale name, because it is. It's like putting it out there. Yeah. It's like, oh, I'm going to call my kid Hope, because then they'll bring hope. But over the last few months, you've seen these names take a resurgence and a peak. Wow. Okay. Happy names, straight up happy names.

Bliss, Joy, Solomon, which means peaceful and Pax, which means peace as well. Right. And then Harbour, Haven,

has made a resurgence. And then names with colours like that are just colours, Iris, Indigo, Blue. Oh, Blue, like a guy's name,

Blue. Right. And Red a guy's name, Blue. Right. And Red. I've seen a resurgence. Really? I thought that was just a nickname for ginger people. Yeah, Red is an actual name. I've heard someone called Blue, but I've never heard anyone called Blue. Well, Blue Ivy would be the most famous one.

But I've never heard Red. And they've also listed some names that have fallen in popularity. I'll read these out and you can probably figure out why. Okay. Cora. Corin. Karina. Corona. Lachlan. Lockie. Rona.

Ronan. Viola. Violet. Violet. Violet and Violet. Yep. And Vira. All falling in popularity. I don't even think about the name. Ronan? Ronan.

Or Ronan. Yeah. Oh, yeah, Ronan. Or Karina, but close to Corona. Yeah, but close to Corona. If you haven't plugged out your vowel sounds, that could easily have been Corona, couldn't it? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

New research has revealed how working from home during the global pandemic is affecting our mental health. And apparently we're clocking in more, I say we, people working from home. Because we're lucky we get to come into work. But people working from home apparently are working an extra 28 hours of overtime a month. Because there's no parameters.

Like you're... You're already there. Yeah, when you come into work, you can use that as the, well, I'm at home now. Yeah. That's, I don't have to do that until I go in again. But like if you're at home, there's, yeah. The average person's travel out of the situation. Yeah.

You know, even if you just use that travel time at work, you would, at home, to work rather, you'd be clocking up easy another hour. Right, so they surveyed a whole lot of people in Britain and they found that almost half, 47%, had faked being busy

while working from home as they fear that they may lose their job if they're not busy. Right. And it's hard too because, like, you can't say you're busy doing something else. Like, if you get an email being like, can you do this now? Well, and that's the thing.

They said that a quarter of people in the study, 25% felt pressured to respond more quickly and be available online for longer. Because they thought, well, if they don't get back to an email straight away, people are going to be like, oh, well, they're just at home pissing around. Yeah, what are you doing? You're obviously not working. And so people are actually, it's actually gone the other way and people are stressed about, I guess, being accused of not working hard

and are therefore now doing more. And this is in the UK where their work ethic is known to be... Slack. Slack. That's why we can roll over there with a casual attitude and people are like, man, Kiwis work hard. I know. What?

Us. Really? And then you're like, oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Woo, I love working. Yeah. Wow. Actually, I. Woo. I love working. Yeah. Wow. Actually, I feel like this pandemic has been me moving to Heathrow

and putting on a little bit of weight. Oh, yeah. Just all the biscuits. Quarantine 15. Quarantine 15. Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. From the ZM Think Tank. This is the Top Six. Hello there. It's Mother's Day on Monday. Ah, Sunday. You've just accidentally done that thing you hate, haven't you? Mm-hmm.

All right. We can move on from that. So... What day is it? Mother's Day is Sunday. Thank you. The end. The top six today deals with ideas for Mother's Day gifts from inside the bubble.

Hard to get out. Yeah. It might be hard to get out. You don't want the kids just, you know, wandering around. Farmers looking for a pair of stockings for their mother. I'd love to see them get into farmers to try and find some stockings. Exactly. It can't happen.

Yeah. So you probably have to source a gift. We're having a craft-a-noon on Saturday. That's where we're going to spend the afternoon doing crafts. Okay. Making Sade something that she'll no doubt love and cherish forever. You should use that old PVC piping you've got behind the shed and make a potato gun for Sade.

Imagine how much fun that would be. I love that. And then you can fire spuds at your neighbours. At those cockatoos. Yes. Imagine clearing out a cockatoo with a potato. Would life get any better? We've got different goals.

Loading up the potato gun with, what did you use for accelerant? Like fly spray or something? Yeah, sure. I can't remember. Fly spray in your potato gun? It was like a slingshot switch. No, it's like compressed.

You've got to compress. You block it and then you plumb it full of accelerant and then you've got an igniter in there from like an old barbecue or something and you click it and it goes and it just expands out and it blows the potato out. It's science, Megan. Imagine canoning

a cockatoo with a potato from a couple of hundred metres. Good. Life doesn't get better than this, baby. I'd be so psyched. And before I hear about it, the cockatoos are an invasive species and they're a pest

and they are bullying the beautiful native hawk. Oh, yeah. The New Zealand falcon that we've got around our house can't get up to bloody anything. Last time I was at your house, I saw them teasing a kitty-doo.

They were. They were like, fatty! Oh, fatty! Disgusting. You're a drunk, fatty! That was our bird of the year two years ago. Rude. Disgusting. You're a drunk fatty. That was our bird of the year two years ago. Rude.

Disgusting. So the top six ideas for a last-minute Mother's Day gift from Inside Your Bubble. Number six, don't leave your wet towels on the floor. What a gift. What a gift to give your mother. Pick it up and put it on the bloody towel rack. And if it's too wet, put it in the laundry. Mums love telling

you that. In the basket. Eesh. I don't think I ever did it as a kid because I think we would have screamed at. Maybe whipped with it. That would have sorted you out. You can't do that anymore. It's PC madness Leighton. Mum's classic line was, don't

hang your towel on the floor. It's not where it goes. Oh, that's a good mum line. It's PC madness, Leighton. Mum's classic line was, don't hang your towel on the floor. It's not where it goes. Oh, that's a good mum line. That's a good mum line. Number five on the list of the top six ideas for the last minute Mother's Day gift from inside the bubble. That pack of biscuits that you hid

at the back of the cupboard. Yeah. Those are mum's biscuits now. Those are mum's biscuits. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six ideas for a last minute Mother's Day gift from Inside the Bubble. Let her decide what to watch on television.

Because I think I speak for mum when I say we've all seen enough slime videos, compilation of TikTok dance videos, and Ryan's toy review-esque unboxing videos. Yeah. For now. For now. For now. Let mum have a go. Let mum have a go.

Yeah, let mum have a go. Let mum decide a go. Yeah, let mum have a go. Let mum decide what she wants to watch on telly. And then she'll flick through the channels and she'll be like, nothing's on. And then she'll have to

surrender the remote back to the kid. Yeah. Oh, God. Number three, and I'm not kidding about this one, for an idea for Mother's Day gifts from inside the bubble,

sort the linen cupboard. Oh, yeah, okay. Oh, no. Yeah. It's a horrible... I don't want to. It's a horrible job. But if you do it for your mum, she will love that. Unless you do it wrong.

Unless she's one of those really pedantic mums. Yeah. Maybe kind of don't change it. Like keep the linen details where the tails are, the face cloths where they go, etc. The sheets where the sheets sit. But just give it a tidy up. A bit of a zhuzh.

Roll the towels too. You'll get more storage space if you roll the towels. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six ideas for a last minute Mother's Day gift from Inside the Bubble. A bottle of breakfast wine. That's just where you write breakfast on the bottle of wine. That sounds like the best one

on the list. And no judgement. You're not allowed to judge with mums. You write that on the bottle of wine. That sounds like the best one on the list. And no judgment. You're not allowed to judge. Yeah. She'd write that in brackets. No judgment. Yeah. Breakfast, wine, in brackets, no judgment. A no judgment noir from Central Otago.

And number one on the list of the top six ideas for a last minute Mother's Day gift from Inside the Bubble. Silence. I'm not kidding. Just everybody not make noise for a few hours. How good would that be? That'd be lovely. That'd be heavenly.

That is the top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I think we're going to get a telling off now. No, we're not. Are we not? Have you done something wrong? No. I haven't done something wrong.

I neither. I followed the rules to the letter. Joining us on the phone, Assistant Police Commissioner Richard Chambers. Good morning. Good morning to you all. Thanks for joining us this morning, first of all. Appreciate that you guys are pretty busy

at the moment. No, pleasure. Absolute thanks for the opportunity to come on your show. So, Level 2 is not yet in place. Yesterday we heard what it's going to look like and I think some people got a little bit ahead of themselves. Yes, that's right. Look, Level 2 is on the horizon.

It's something that we can all look forward to. But for now we're still at Level 3. So we've just got to ensure everybody just hangs in there for a little bit longer. So this weekend it's business as usual if that business is how we've just got to ensure everybody just hangs in there for a little bit longer. So this weekend it's business as usual if that business is how we've been behaving previously? Yes, yes. No, we all know what's expected of us at Alert Level 3 so my colleagues will be out across the country again

as they have been for some weeks now just making sure that everybody is doing the right thing and it's not just about doing the right thing for themselves it's about doing the right thing for our whole country and all those communities out there. Do you think people hearing the low level of cases and, you know, a couple of days of zero cases, have you found people have been slacking off a little bit? Well, yeah, I mean, the country's been doing exceptionally well, and that's something we

can all be proud of. But there is a small handful of people that are letting us all down, and everyone knows what the rules are now, so there's no excuses. And particularly last weekend, we saw the temptation to have a little party or a gathering bigger than it should have been was unfortunate, actually. And the police have taken an approach where we're educating those people. But if they don't take our advice and do the right thing, we've got mechanisms to enforce it. Tasers.

Mechanisms is a very nice way of saying handcuffs. To be honest, if you came around and were just like, you know, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. That would hurt more. Yeah. Oh, no. If that worked, Megan, there wouldn't be criminals over there. Yes.

If that worked, Megan, there wouldn't be criminals over there. Yes. True. If that worked across the board. So you say police are going to be out. I've noticed when driving to work and home from work that there seems to be more police presence around. So can that be expected this weekend as well? Yes, absolutely. We will continue to be out there visible in communities.

We're not only just checking in on people to make sure they're abiding by the rules but we are also visiting places like supermarkets and pharmacies and other locations where people can go to do their shopping or whatever it may be. So it's not just about stopping people on the road to make sure they're doing the right thing.

It's also providing that reassurance across places where the public will visit. I always remember when you were in the club and the police would come through just doing a little bit of a swoop, bit of a check. And you'd always be like, oh, the police are here. And then at the supermarket last week, the police walked in and I was like, oh, the police are here. I was like, my life has changed.

My life has changed quite significantly. Well, thanks very much for joining us this morning. And thanks for everything you guys have been doing over the lockdown. Level 4 and Level 3, the New Zealand Police have been out there, frontline staff. So we, as the public, really appreciate it. Thank you. Thanks for your support.

Cheers. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I don't think I've ever been so excited to go to the gym. I know. I'm excited that that's opening in Level 2. Whenever Level 2 comes, we don't know, but assuming it so excited to go to the gym. I know. I'm excited that that's opening in level two. Whenever level two comes, we don't know, but assuming it'll be mid next week. Yeah, gyms will be open,

but they are going to look a little bit different. So exercise, who knew this was a thing? Exercise New Zealand chief executive. Exercise New Zealand. Richard has given us an idea of what gyms will look like. So group fitness classes, first of all, much like when you're lining up for the supermarket or whatever, will have markings on the ground.

Might be an X on the floor that gives you an idea of your space and when you need to be for group fitness classes. So they're spaced out. I'll do a few of those during the week at, like, lunchtime, and they are always packed, especially at lunchtime. When you do, like, a weights class,, there's like, you have one metre square. Yeah. And then the next person's like right beside you.

Yeah. So yeah, they'll be spaced out and you imagine they're less people in a room. I wonder if they're going to start taking bookings for those, like they do for like some of the cycle classes. Yeah, because they run out of bikes. Yeah. I'd say so. And then those bikes are going to have to be a bit further apart, aren't they?

Yeah. Yeah, that too. Or they'll just have someone counting on the door and then be like, no, we're max, maximum capacity. One of those clickers.

Yeah. When you're counting the sheep or the guy in the room, you're like, click, click. I'll probably still get turned away for white shoes. It's just the story of my life. Yeah, exactly.

Do the hockey heels just get to go to the front? Yeah, exactly. Life, man. And then they're just going to get hotter. Yeah, I know. It's a vicious cycle.

And then when you use any equipment, so like pump bars in classes maybe or just in the gyms, spray bottles and hand sanitizer are going to be everywhere. I'd imagine they'd have them every couple of machines, if not every machine. Yeah, and you're obviously going to have to use them

after you use the machine. You're supposed to, but a lot of people don't because everyone's going to be using the same equipment and they're going to have, you know, like sweat on them. If you're doing a weights workout and you were hand sanitising after every, like,

set, your hands are just going to be, like, crusty after the end of that. But it like soaks in. It like evaporates. But is anyone else finding like layers of their skin peeling off from all the hand washing and sanitising? Moisturise, babes.

It's just the world we live in now. It is. And then all the machines, they're going to have to space them out. Yeah, right. So, yeah, I don't know. Maybe there'll be more demand for machines. I'm not sure. Because will everyone hit the gyms hard?

I'd say so, yes. Because we've just been in our houses eating for five weeks. The gym I went to was close to a cluster outbreak. Oh, really? No, no, you shouldn't just like wildly panic about that sort of thing. Because it's all been checked. There's checks and balances. But yeah, I don't know.

And like a lot of us have gotten used to doing workouts from home now. Oh yeah, workouts from home. That's what I was going to say too. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Home school. Well, during the lockdown, we've been setting homework. Yeah, so every day we've given homework to people. They have to do a one-minute presentation on a topic that they've chosen.

And Tara joins us this morning. Good morning, Tara. Good morning. Now, we gave you three subject options yesterday, and you chose on... Enrique Iglesias. Yes, that's the one. Megan just put up a concert from... It was January this year.

He actually does still look 25. Yeah. Insane. Ridiculous. Yeah. He's not aged. Well, Tara, you have 60 seconds to present to us now on Enrique Iglesias. Go for it. Okay. Enrique Iglesias was born in Madrid,

8th of May, 1975. He's the third child of Spanish singer Julia Iglesias and Filipina socialite Isabel Pricer. Raised by his mother until he was six, until 1981 when his grandfather, Dr. Julia Iglesias Puga, was kidnapped by the armed boss group ETA. And for their safety, Enrique and his brother were sent to live with their father in Miami.

There they were raised by their nanny, who Enrique later dedicated his first album to. As a beginning musician, Iglesias did not want his well-known family name, Iglesias, to advance his career. So as a teen, he borrowed money from his nanny and recorded a demo cassette tape under the stage name Enrique Martinez with the backstory of being a singer from Guatemala. He then changed his stage name back once his career kicked off. Enrique is one of the best-selling Latin music artists with sales estimates of over 70 million records.

He is often referred to as the king of Latin pop with 10 albums, 2 No. 1 Billboard hits, 5 top 10s and 25 in the Billboard chart. estimates of over 70 million records. He is often referred to as the king of Latin pop. With 10 albums, two number one Billboard hits, five top tens, and 25 in the Billboard chart. After 25 years of a success in the music, modeling, and acting industry, Enrique Iglesias still continues to produce timeless bangers for us all year after year. He has a father of three.

Oh, carry on. Carry on. He is enjoying life with partner Anna Konnikova with their third daughter only born four months ago. Congratulations, Enrique, and happy 45th birthday. Yes, great, great homework assignment. I can't believe he's 45. I know. That is ridiculous.

I know. That is ridiculous. I did not know that he was Filipino. I had no idea that his mother was Filipino. Really? Yeah, he has Filipino, Spanish, and American passport, apparently. Oh, wow. Man, his dad had so many kids.

Yeah. Well, you know, a traveling musician, you just wouldn't. Wasn't it his dad that they estimated how many women he'd slept with and it was something like 3,000? Oh, my word. Did it fall off? I'm giving you an A for that today. And just also a plug for my Friday flashback,

we'll be on Enrique Iglesias to celebrate his birthday. Megan? I'm giving you an A plus because it's Enrique. Yeah, good call. Vaughn Allen Smith? Yeah, it's an Because it's Enrique. Yeah, good call. Vaughn Allen Smith? Yeah, it's an A for me as well. Yeah, good stuff. Tara, congratulations.

We'll send you a homeschool certificate there. Have a fantastic weekend. Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Uncle Tim. Tim, you're weird on Morrison. One of the nicest guys.

He's so... Every time we talk to him, he is hilarious. I love interviewing him. And he's always got energy. He's so Every time we talk to him He is hilarious I love interviewing him And he's always got energy He's never been tired Of interviews Whenever we've spoke to him When did we last speak to him?

Moana? The Moana press conference? Do you know what I always love about him? Is he's always so thankful Yes He always says Thank you so much It's like

Of course Thanks for having me And like a lot of A lot of actors If you said to them, you're not in Guatemala now, you know, they'd be like, oh, I'm better than that now. The 30-year-old catchphrase.

But he doesn't care, right? He loves it. He loves it. Yeah. Loves it. Well, he was in Star Wars. He was in the Star Wars prequels. He was Jango Fett.

They cloned Jango Fett and made all the clone troopers. Does he go to all those like Comic Cons everywhere? He would be guaranteed to be able to turn up to any of them forever and people would still

pay money for his autograph. Wow. That's amazing. He was like all of the clones in the prequels. He provided the voice for all of them. He's so cool.

Amazing. So when news broke that Taika Waititi is helming a Star Wars movie, of course, who do you talk to? You talk to the other Kiwi that's been a big-name player in a Star Wars movie, and Uncle Tim had this to say. One minute he's shooting short films outside the Te Kaha pub. Now he's shooting a big movie called Star Wars. He's looking forward to the new Star Wars

where he might see a planet full of Maori. I think he should put Jacinda in the movie as well for all the great work she's done. Princess Jacinda. Princess Jacinda. How good. Wow. He's just like, this is how this will work.

She's done good. She's done good. Do you know what, though? I don't think it's a stretch to have, I think there might be some Kiwi cameos. Because how many

celebrities have done cameos as like stormtroopers and we've found out after. Daniel Craig did one. Yeah.

James Bond was in The Force Awakens. Was it the last one? The last Jedi or The Force Awakens. No, I think it was The Force Awakens. And then comes out

after the movie and says, I was a stormtrooper. Always wanted to be one. Just like an extra. How cool is that though? It's now your time to just like slide into Taika's DMs and be like, hey, I'll be masked.

I couldn't come back here. Not because I'd have a big head, but because like, what am I aiming for now? Have I got to be part of the Star Wars universe? I know. I'd be a puddler I'm almost I've got little like

wells in my eyes You're welling up It's not happening but like that and I've got goosebumps just even possibly thinking about it Like if Taika said to you Vaughn I'd love you to be a stormtrooper

you'd just be like I'd melt Yeah We don't know what it's going to be though There might not be stormtroopers but even if it was like we want you to be a cleaner on the spaceship.

What? Oh, I'd do it. Oh my God, I'd do anything. Even if I was sitting inside a droid. What if you got shot though and died? You'd do it?

I'd be honoured. Oh, you'd be honoured. I'd throw such a death. People online would be like, what's that guy's backstory? And then they'd invent it and I'd be like, this is beautiful.

No, you'd be like, ah! They're like, Vaughn, your death is subtle in the background. Just die in the background suddenly. But if I die suddenly, I won't get the backstory. But I don't think Jacinda would be, we should ask her. Well, here's the thing. We're talking to her at 10 to 8 this morning.

So I think we should ask her if she's open. Yeah. We could just play what Uncle Tim said. Yeah. Because I don't think she'd be a princess. Although in saying that, Princess Leia was more, she wasn't a princess in a Disney princess,

old school, helpless Disney princess way. She was getting it done. Well, she's got to be a good guy. She can't be like, dressed in all the grey on the, on the, on the,

yeah, no, you're right. Like a commander or something for the Empire. Or the Sith, or whoever the bad guys were at that time. You did real well. Did I do real well? Who would you, what would you... I think you'd be an Ewok. Is that...

She could be an Ewok. And you'd just walk around being like, I'm real cute. Yeah, but you'd walk around on your knees and you'd see your knees hanging out the back, you'd see your feet hanging out the back of the Ewok costume. Because I'm imagining we're going to be on a budget here. Yeah, but you'd walk around on your knees and you'd see your knees hanging out the back, you'd see your feet hanging out the back of the Ewok costume. Because I'm imagining we're going to be on a budget here. Yeah, obviously.

What would I be? Have you seen Jabba? I wasn't going to. I wouldn't have seen it. I know better to say that. But I did think about saying it for comed and effect. Yeah.

Who do you want to be? I like that one with the big floppy ears and the big lips. And it's like... Is it that one? Jar Jar Binks. Yeah. Isn't it like slightly pink and it's got big lips? I've never been more disappointed in you.

It's slightly pink and it's got... Than right now. Right, okay, great. He's a me, me and Pink, sir, my son. No. What are you thinking? The most despised character in Star Wars history. That's okay.

I'll turn that around. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. It's Polly, Molly, Molly, Molly, Molly. Polly, Molly, Molly, Molly. Come on. Right, Polly Moly. Our Polly Moly today, we want to look at the Level 2 lowdown. What you're feeling for Level 2. We're not there yet.

Hold your bloody horses. Yeah, well, Jacinda spoke yesterday at the press conference. Why are you whistling? That was like a get in behind. Oh, okay. No. I'm going to face. Oh, okay. No. I'm going to face away from the microphone. No.

I'm going to face away from the microphone. Vaughn always does these whistles in the office and they're too loud. Okay, good on you. You grew up on a farm, cool. Show off. No, my granddad always said, you should learn to do it without your fingers because you don't want to be sticking your dirty fingers in your mouth. Fair call.

And, you know, he died 10 years ago. He knew. He knew. He knew what we were going through. But, yeah, so we've been told that Level 2 will be announced maybe on Monday. When we're going. But we still don't know. So, question number one for Level 2 Lowdown of PoliMoli.

Who would you rather have over for a tupper tea and a Tim Tam? The options were Simon Bridges and Dr. Ashley Bloomfield. What time can Satan make it? And Dr. Ashley Bloomfield. That's an unfair. That was unfair

from the get go. 95% Dr. Ashley. One comes on TV and you're like, yay! A professional opinion. And the other comes on TV. Good to know that we've got 5% young gnats voting though in that poll. Yeah.

Maybe they send it around to young gnats. I like to think the young gnats were more making up 10-15% of the voting but even they'd rather have Ashley round. Yeah, now put Judith Collins in the mix, those young gnats might have voted the other way. Yeah. And level two, we're being encouraged to travel around our own country because we can't go overseas. We've got to support local

tourism. So where will you travel to first? The options were North Island and South Island. Very close. 51% are going to go to the North Island. Is that just everyone switching over? Maybe, yeah. 49% South Island. I'm from the South. Travelled around a lot of the South Island. You've just everyone switching over? Maybe, yeah. 49% South Island. I'm from the South. Travelled around a lot of the

South Island. You've got to do that. Yeah. Yeah, well that's something you're going to be able to use the next year or so to take off a few New Zealand places you haven't been. Are you following that Facebook page that popped up? New Zealand Made Products. Yeah. I think

there's 100,000 people on that page now. Oh wow. And basically New Zealanders products. Yeah. There's some, I think there's 100,000 people on that page now. Oh, wow. And basically New Zealanders who make things put them up saying, you know, this is what I make and this is how you can order it. And a lot of people have been popping up like little boutique accommodations. Oh, yeah. Let me tell you. There's some talented people on there.

Are there some pods in the forest? There's a pod up a hill with a wood-fired spa pool. Oh, my God. That sounds delightful. That's got me running all over it. Do they change the water after each guest? Then they run it in from a fresh mountain spring. I hope so.

Because I'm not checking into that pod after some... And then you empty it and a slurry of human skin and filth washes down the yuck. I don't know. Hot tub folliculitis. Hot tub. Would you go on a dating app, date, in level two? Okay. I don't know what Sade would think about it, but I'd be willing to try.

This is an interesting one, though, because we're not out of the woods yet. No. Even at level two. You know, are you supposed to do that? Well, you're allowed to open your bubble, but you've got to have a two. I mean, what, are you going to go on a two-minute date? Yeah. 84% said no, they wouldn't.

I thought that might have been higher after people being locked up in their houses five weeks. I thought the yes would have been higher. Yeah. More people would have. Yeah. Right. Do you miss gatherings. Yeah. More people would have. Yeah. Right. Do you miss gatherings of more than 100 people? No.

You don't? I don't. 75% of people said no. I miss concerts. Oh, yeah. Same. Because I love my concerts. Same.

I found this other outlet for music. It's called the radio. And the good part about it is when you listen it's not just the same band playing all of their songs

it's a whole bunch of different bands playing all their biggest hits. But then there's like these people that talk in between. Oh don't get me

started on them. They're annoying. God I hate them. I hate them. The stupid voices. Yeah. The media right? Oh don't get me started on the mainstream media. They want them. They're stupid voices. Yeah. The media, right? Oh, they get me so on the mainstream media.

They want me to vaccinate my children. Has how the pandemic been handled affected how you intend to vote in the election? 52% said no. Okay. And 48% said yes. Final question. What will you do on the first day of Level 2?

The options we'll see are friends and family or eat at a restaurant. The answer, 83% will go and see family and friends. That's heartening. And then afterwards go and eat at a restaurant. Imagine if you're like, nah, they can wait. I'm going to get some food. Because what are you going to do when your cafe opens? Put up some perspex screens or just space the tables?

Space the tables out. Right. And then each table is only supposed to have one server because people can't come up to the counter. And there's lots of rules and we keep a record of everyone who comes in for contact tracing and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, it'll be different to be around people, right? I'm not used to it.

Yeah. I don't plan on ever being around people. You've been loving this. Ever again. Introvert. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. One of the most watched shows on Netflix at the moment is Afterlife Season 2, the Ricky Gervais show about a man coping with life after he lost his wife.

His soulmate. Yeah. Yeah. And how he's doing. Season 1 was outstanding. And then you thought, how is he going to be a Season 2? And Season 2 came and knocked it out of the park. He has put on social media this week that thanks to you lot liking Afterlife Season 2 so much,

Netflix has suggested I get off my fat ass and make another one. So he has confirmed that Season 3 of Afterlife is happening. It's so good. It's confusing to me because Ricky Gervais is funny and it sounds sad. But it's both. It is so hilariously funny at times, but then also punches you in the feels. Wildly inappropriately funny.

Yeah. At times. So like there's times I was like, oh, my mum would like this. And then something happens, I'm like, my mum would not like this. Yeah. She would not be on board with that,

being used as a joke. I've watched season one, but I haven't watched season two. And all I've seen is just everyone being very emotionally traumatized by the final episode. Yeah. Thoughts. Yeah. Yeah.

There's little bits and pieces throughout that'll get you, but yeah, the last episode's really quite something. Okay. But it's super easy to binge because each season's six episodes and they're like 25 minutes. So you could do it in a night. These days. There's a guy with no other

obligations. Easy. Do that in a day. Piece of cake. Oh yeah, kids. They get in the way. Lock them away. Well, not just kids. Cafes and stuff. A lot of people have got a lot of other things to deal with at the moment. But

Fletch and I were just talking about another show we watched last night and it was on terrestrial television, which I didn't think you watched. What's terrestrial television? Not online. Oh, normal TV. Normal TV. Yeah, normal TV. Because I never watch normal TV. But the news, I had it on for the news, obviously.

Yeah. And then I just stayed on and I was just pottering around. And then the show came on. And it was, what was it called? My Dream Home or something. Yeah. Imagine. So it's your normal, you know your normal, here's a couple's crappy home and they renovate it.

Yeah. But it used VR technology. Yeah. To show you what the home would look like. Yeah. And it was just this really – They walked in – they put on virtual reality headsets. Because when we renovated – when we renovated, my mate is a draftsman,

so he had a computer program that could do it up. You could kind of see what it might look like. And he always put funny things in the background because, like, out the window they had to put, like, pretend gardens and stuff, and he'd always put someone lighting a fire or someone with a gun or something. I like that because that was just for me. Still very crude though, like 3D.

Oh, 100%. It's a rough idea of what it might look like. But this one last night, they put on the virtual reality headsets and in this big open space warehouse, so not even in their actual home, they walked through what the house could actually look like and got a full-blown feel for what it would be like. And then they actually came back and showed what they'd renovated it because they didn't always stick with some of the designs.

No. And it looked exactly the same. Imagine if you're trying to like pick colours and stuff, you just walk through and be like, change it to green. No, I don't like that. Change it to pink. Well, Vaughan and I did have a bit of a debrief about this and we did not like their

colour selection. They went for a blue bedroom. Yuck. A blue bedroom? A blue bedroom with copper glitter in the paint? Yeah, they put glitter into the paint to make their walls sparkly. Vaughan and I were like, no. Copper inserts in the light shades. Yeah, that's fine, but don't put

sparkles in you. And then they had this tall boy dresser at the end of their bed. And they went for green joinery. Green. That's a 1980s mistake. Yeah. Anyway, so we had a riveting night last night. We should have one of these shows. Where we just go around and mop people's houses.

But it's no, people come to us with like, these are our plans. And we say. But we've had them all drawn out and we're like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Whack on this virtual reality headset. We're like, green joinery. Or we just take them to like a suburb of leaky homes that were built in like the late 90s, early 2000s. And we're like, look at what these look like.

All right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Fridge Bingo. The Celebrity Edition. Well, it's Float at Home tomorrow afternoon, 3 o'clock. Yes. On the ZM Facebook page. Be sure to tune in from the comforts of home.

That's right. 660 Mitch James Drax Project, Saatchi Foley and Paige. And we're all doing this for Music Helps, providing support and hardship assistance to the Kiwi music people, like behind the scenes, all of those involved with all the concerts and events that you go to during these times.

It's all to support them. Because yeah, no work. No concerts equal no work. And joining us for this game of Float at Home Fridge Bingo is Chris Mack from 660. Hello. Yo, how you guys going? Hi.

It is great to know that the intro is like, we're doing this for everyone who's behind the scenes, but nothing about them. Here's the person on the stage. Yeah. Yeah, but Steve that goes, he's busy. He can't.

He wanted to. It's not a good interview. I don't want to be stereotypical, Chris, but I imagine a musician's fridge is just full of beer and ciggies. I mean, part of that's right. I mean, and part of that doesn't really need refrigerated. Soggy ciggies. Well, I don't, Mike.

I don't know where you put them. You put them in the butter conditioner. Where they should be. Okay, and is your fridge well stocked at the moment, Chris, for fridge bingo? I think I'm going to be a bit embarrassed, to be honest. It's not in a great shape, but we'll find out. We'll see what you say.

All right, well, your buzzer, Chris, will be ding. Okay, ding. And let's meet your dong. And today it's all about the bass, no treble, because it's bass player from the Drax Project. Sam, hello. Hey, I wouldn't say that I'm Chris's dong, but, you know, I am. You are the dong to his ding.

I will definitely accept that as my buzzer. Sam, come on, Sam. Don't put yourself down. You're definitely my dong. Okay, thank you. Thank you for accepting me into that. All right, well, Sam, if you've got an item in your fridge, you buzz in with dong.

All right, are we ready to play Celebrity Edition of Fridge Bingo? I'm in. That's right. The randomiser is randomising. Celebrity edition of Fridge Bingo. I'm in. That's right. I'm in. The randomiser is randomising. Oh! A cauliflower. Oh, no. No.

We have some other brassiasque, I think they're called. Oh, brassiasque. From the brassiasque family. Have you got a broccoli, Sam? Yeah, yeah, but no collie, unfortunately. Okay, okay. That was a good word from Sam, though. It was.

It was very knowledgeable. Do you think he should get half a point, Chris? I think he should, yeah. That's brilliant. What's the word again? Brassiasque. Brassiasque? Is it brassiasque? Brassiasque. I thought it was brassicasque. Brassicasque? Brass, brassius. Brassius? Is it brassius?

Brassius. I thought it was brassicus. Brassicus. Brassicus. Brassicus. Did he get the word wrong? Yeah, I'm removing the half point. Take away the half point.

Spin up our next. This one, surely. Leftovers. Dong. Sam. Dong from Sam. Sam, what have you got leftover-wise? We've got some sort of stir-fry, noodle stir-fry with chicken and mushrooms and capsicum.

Wow. How long has that been there at a guess? Oh, you'd have to ask my flatmate, but I'd say at least six days. I think that's ready for the bin. I wouldn't be eating that. It's taking a one-way trip to the bin and then rinsing

out the plastic container and popping that back in the drawer. Spin up another one. Oh! Hey! Individually wrapped cheese slices. Yeah. Ding, ding, ding.

Ding. That's a ding. Chris is on the board. I was so excited to get one, I forgot what I had to say. I felt like you'd be too good for this, Chris. Well, no, here's the thing. Because I own a bar and in that bar we have like

American cheese for our cheeseburgers. We brought some of that home and so that's what we've got. Delicious American cheese. Is that their orange like jack cheese? Yeah, it's that kind of, I don't think it's even officially like technically cheese. But it's that kind of, I don't think it's even officially, like technically cheese. But it's right on a burger.

America. America. All right. All right, so one all? Yeah. America. A brownish banana that you're saving maybe for muffins or something. Who keeps a banana in the fridge?

I mean, I've got a banana, but I don't have it in the fridge. No one keeps a banana. Well, no, that's when they start going too brown and you're like, well, I'm not going to make muffins today. I'm going to make them in a couple of days. You pop it in the fridge so it doesn't go too manky on the... Are we counting the freezer? Oh.

Section of the fridge as well. Because that would be a smarter place to put it, actually. It would be. But you'd want to peel it first because they're a nightmare to peel once they're frozen. Are we accepting that? I mean, technically, are we doing it? Have you got one in the freezer? Yeah, that's a big dong for me.

That's a big dong. Big dong for Sam. We've got a few in there. Good for smoothies if they're frozen, aren't they? Yeah. The bananas in the freezer. Again, peel before freezing. Yes.

You're going to have a bloody nightmare in your hands. Otherwise, right? I'm so stressed about this now. We're loosening. Boop. Bop. Hey! A limp vegetable that probably needs to go in the bin.

Oh, hard dong. Hard dong and a hard dong. Yes. What is that? A carrot. No, we need to go in the bin. Oh, hard ding. Hard ding and a hard dong. What is that? A carrot. Nobody needs to know what it is. Carrots? Oh, mate, you name it. I've got a limp one.

Okay. So quite a selection of limp vegetables there, Chris. Mine's a cucumber. What a limp cucumber. Yeah. Cucumbers are gross when they go past because they just turn to like mushy green water, don't they? Sam, what have you got?

Well, that was Sam. That was Sam. Oh, that was the cucumber. Sam's got the cucumber. Chris has got an array of limps. I've got a selection. I'm holding in my hands right now possibly the most disgusting looking cabbage I've ever seen in my life.

Okay. Cabbage. You buy it with good intentions and then it just never gets eaten. I'm going to make my own sauerkraut, said a whole bunch of people with a brown shitty cabbage in their kitchen. If you'd said sauerkraut, I would have zinged you. How good is sauerkraut? I tell you what, I've got an entire, I don't have much, but I've got an entire row of hot sauces and beer,

and that's about all the takes on my fridge. Yeah, that is a great sounding fridge. And the ciggies. Fantastic. Well, Sam from Drax Fridgey taking out... Drax takes it out. Well done. Thank you.

Celebrity fridge bingo. Congratulations. So we have a certificate in the mail or email, I believe, for you. We're emailing those. I'll put it on the mental piece. Or the fridge under a magnet. Yeah, that'd be perfect, actually. And thank you guys so much as well for performing.

It'll be tomorrow. Float at Home 660, Mitch James, Drax Project, Sachi Foley and Paige. Thanks so much, guys. Thanks, guys. Cheers. Congratulations, Sam. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

And we're joined on the phone by the Prime Minister of New Zealand Good morning Good morning Good morning, good morning Now we learned what Level 2 might look a little bit more like yesterday Yeah That's exciting to know that that's on the horizon It is, it is exciting of course

We make the decision on Monday So I unfortunately can't give you any hints as to what might happen because we're waiting on all the latest data and decision and for Dr Bloomfield to help us make that decision. Yeah, and could people ruin it for themselves this weekend? Oh, there's always the potential that we could ruin it for ourselves. Yes. So, yeah, I do need people just to hang in there.

You know, doing what we've done has worked so far. So that's a good reason to stick to it. Now, what are you looking forward to most about Level 2? Because Dr. Ashley Bloomfield was looking forward to giving his friends and family a careful hug. I did love that. Me too. I almost said to him that I'd like to see

what a careful hug looked like. So, best not. That would be unprofessional. Do you know, are you on the list of friends that he'd like to give a careful hug to? I have not asked him who is on his list of careful hugs. I imagine it's like just a light embrace. It's like when you're hugging an old person. Yeah.

Yeah. Just a very gentle hug. It's not too much pushing. It's like when you're hugging an old person. Yeah, a very gentle hug. It's a light hug. It is one of those things that I've been asked a lot, how much physical contact you have. A lot of people are asking me about Tinder. I'm not going to say that. Do you want to give the...

Because we asked on a poll earlier this morning about dating apps and 85% of people said... 87% said they still wouldn't go on a dating app date in level two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And look, actually, I do expect people to be cautious for a while. I mean, we're basically saying these are the rules, we're going to keep running.

But actually, a lot of level two is a lot of personal responsibility. We're just saying to people, don't open yourself up to lots of random contacts with people because no one wants to get the call to say, sorry, you need to stay home for two weeks because of someone you didn't keep distance from. Who's on your list for a careful hug? Well, actually, probably the people that I'm with at the moment

are the ones that, you know, that I'd have top of my list. But I haven't been, Auckland's obviously where I live most of the time. We haven't been home for seven weeks. And so, yeah, so Clark packs my bag for this period of time in isolation. Oh, how did that go? Well, I can tell you that on weekends, I have to wear his clothes. So that's what we have at the back of our house. Well, your lawns.

Do you want me to pop around and mow your lawns? Do you know, actually, you say that in jest, but I am quite worried about what the lawns are looking like. I'm 100% not joking. If you've been away for seven weeks, we've had some tremendous growth over the last month. I've had to mow weekly. I've seen it's been raining. I am worried been away for seven weeks, we've had some tremendous growth over the last month. I've had to mow weekly. I've seen it's been raining.

I am worried. My sister lives nearby but that's a low trust relationship when it comes to lawn mowing. Yeah, you trust me higher than you trust her on the lawn mowing situation. Oh, I would and she wouldn't be upset for me saying that. I imagine she did. Mother's Day on Sunday, have you got anything planned?

Do you get a day off or? Sunday's usually the day I do cabinet papers, so that's probably what I'm going to do. But I didn't mean to make it sound that sad. I just felt bad for you. Thank you. I imagine Clark. Clark's actually really, he's super thoughtful,

so I imagine he'll probably do something. Although he did try and tell me the other day that it doesn't work like that, that it's an evil nothing, that he's meant to only do things for his mother, and it totally needs two-year-old responsibility. This is his first time around the block. I can speak from experience that that doesn't wash. Well, no, this is his second time. No, but I mean his first child is what I mean.

Oh, right, yeah. Give it a couple years, and you've received nothing for a few years in a row. It could change. And finally today, we need to cover this because Uncle Tim, Tim Uweta-Morrison, spoke this week about Taika Waititi's next Star Wars movie. And Uncle Tim thinks you should have a starring role. Belize, I didn't say that. That is hilarious.

I've got the clip here. Listen to this. I think he should put't see that. That is hilarious. I've just got the clip here, Prime Minister. I think he should put Jacinda in the movie as well, for all the great work she's done. Princess Jacinda. Princess Jacinda. Maybe a distant relative of Princess Leia. Yeah. Well, no, she was of the Skywalker family. We're finished with that saga. I don't know

Star Wars. Are you at all... I don't recall you being like a Star Wars fan or anything. Don't ask me any, you know, detailed questions. But I watch and enjoy even the more recent works. So, yes, but I'm not nearly as obsessive as some of my wider family members about it. What sort of character or what would you love to be playing? Sometimes you notice the females always have

some amazing makeup and hair. I don't know if that's just my observation, but yeah, no, I don't know if I would choose a character. Just a suggestion is nice. Would you be alright with a cameo

or a little kind of role at least? Even in the background? Would I? It's a yes. It's alright to say yes. Am I allowed to do that kind of thing? It's not indulgent. It's not indulgent to say yes. I think Simon

Bridges would have a field day. You've used your office to get a role on Star Wars. Exactly. No, you haven't. No, you haven't. Life is not simple in this job. Oh, God, imagine

it as a pre-election debate. How can we vote her in again? She's already thinking about being in a Star Wars movie. Wonderful. Wonderful. She doesn't need that headline today. No.

No. No, I do not. All right. I want the headline to be, Prime Minister of New Zealand reluctant to star in a new Star Wars movie. No. Awkwardly avoids questions. Awkwardly avoids, will not confirm rumour,

she will be in a new Star Wars movie. Yeah. Brilliant. I love it. This is how it be a new Star Wars movie. Yep. Brilliant. I love it. This is how it starts, you guys. Yes, yes, yes. And when you're wielding a lightsaber, don't forget to thank who made it all in motion.

Tim. Tim, you were a Morrison, yes. We tried to hog his glory. Thank you very much for joining us. And just thanks for prime ministering very well lately Thank you guys ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The Podcast

There is intense debate in studio because it is my pick for Friday Flashback and we have unanimously decided that we will use this opportunity today to celebrate the fact that Enrique Iglesias is 45 years old and still looks 25.

I watched a concert from January this year. He looks 25. Tara, earlier in the show, if you missed it, did a homeschool project for us on Enrique. His mother was Filipino and his father was Spanish

heartthrob, Julio Iglesias. Yeah. Julio Iglesias. So now it's come down to Balamos, Rhythm Divine or... Hero. Hero. Now Hero... Or Anya's...

Escape. Do you know what? The livestream won Escape too. Do they? No, they don't. No, they don't. They don't know what they want. I think they do.

They're here on a Friday morning watching us blather on about nothing. They don't know what they want. I think they do. They're here on a Friday morning watching us blather on about nothing. They don't know what they want. Escape is a classic. Escape. They need to be told what they want. They need to be told what they need. And they want Hero. Someone wants a Hero.

How can be a Hero, baby? A worldwide number one. The only situation is it's not like a real banger. It's like a real sing-along. It's a sing-along, though. Super sing-along. How can be a Hero, baby? Tammy has said either one is good because he's underrated.

So I feel like we'll be happy with anything. Can you see everyone voting for escape now? Look, everyone's voting for escape. Everyone is saying escape, so I think we should give the people what they want. No, no. Hero, hero, rhythm divine. And hero seems fitting at the moment. Hero?

Yeah. Do you think? It should be hero. We can dedicate it to Dr. Ashley Bloomfield. He's our hero. Yes. And the frontline staff. Is it appropriate to be like, we can kiss away the pain?

Not yet. Not yet. But we can give you a gentle hug away the pain. A careful hug away the pain. And level two. All right. So are we going for hero? Well, it's up to you. It's your throw a flashback.

God, I don't know. Are you saying that was his biggest song worldwide? That was a worldwide number one hit. Usually this is the banter that goes on off-air usually. Yeah. Anya's saying stop being a dictator, Vaughn, in the group chat. I'm not being a dictator. I'm being a fun dictator. I just thought

it's just a dick. Good. Someone said I honestly thought he'd only ever done Hero. I mean, he's one of the biggest selling Latino artists. Like, on his Wikipedia discography page, which says every song and album he's ever released, the first column is Spain. And literally everything he does just goes to number one.

Yeah, right. Apart from his song with Pitbull called Move to Miami, the Spanish were like, no. No, Miami, no. Friday flashback. All right, so are we going with Hero? Yeah. And dedicating it to...

Somebody said... Wait, we've already done Rhythm Divine for Flashback. Once upon a time. Okay, did we? Way back. All right. Well, your Friday Flashback. He turns 45 today on Enrique Iglesias' Hero.

Is this you, Dr. Ashley? Yes. Sit in. He's whispering. He's whispering. Oh! You can be my hero. Okay. Would you dance. Oh. You can be my hero. Okay.

Would you dance? Oh, God. If I asked you to dance. Would you run? And never look back? Would you cry? If you saw me crying? Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips? Would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this. Now would you die for the one you love? Hold me in your arms tonight. I can be your hero, baby. I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever

You can take my deep breath away Would you swear that you'll always be mine? Would you lie? Would you run and hide? Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind? I don't care if you're here tonight I can be your hero, baby

I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away Oh, I just wanna hold you I just wanna hold you Oh yeah Am I into thee? Have I lost my mind? Well, I don't care You're here Tonight

I can be your hero Baby I can kiss away The pain Oh yeah I will stand by you Forever I can kiss away the pain. Oh, yeah. I will stand by you forever. You can take my breath away.

And I can be your hero. I can kiss away the pain And I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away You can take my breath away ZM. Fleets, Warner Megadeth's your Friday flashback today. He turns 45, still looks 25. Hero on Ricky Iglesias.

Happy birthday. Wasn't the most upbeat song, but what an absolute sing-along. We needed it. Yeah, we did. In these times. Said, while that was playing, we were imagining a slow motion black and white montage of Dr. Ashley Bloomfield stepping up to the podium. Yeah.

Hot. Good work. Delivering it with that. That's a real reassuring face, isn't it? Can I request someone put that together today? Because I don't have the skills. I like that idea too. I don't like doing things.

I like suggesting things and then walking away from someone else. That's why you'd be so good at management. I've always said that. How was the response from the public? The listening public. That's my worst. Sorry. Don't make that noise.

That's why I wouldn't be good at management. I'd be up in front of HR. I'd be like so Carol

you're here to discuss your pay review. To pass the time while I was looking for

my notes and I'd be at HR and notes and Carol would have a payout. Another payout.

I'd be saying to the board I promise I won't do it again I know it's the third time It's happened I get nervous Alright Good song It's our wedding

Alright Someone said It's our wedding song Oh Okay You can be each On this hero Okay what a banger

You did well Fletch Someone said A tad morbid But I can see the intention was good. Not morbid, it's uplifting. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Well, it's a special edition of I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name today.

And we're switching it up a little bit because Mother's Day is on Sunday. And thanks to Interflora, we have the prize, a bouquet of flowers from Interflora delivered to her with a contactless delivery, which is an option for Mother's Day. Interflora doing their thing for Mother's Day. So, you know, don't forget about mum. Get onto that today. Get in touch with Interflora. Those flowers are still being grown.

Exactly. Was that meant to be some kind of philosophical? You can't stop the flowers from growing. Oh, that's beautiful, actually. That's beautiful. Oh, God. Carol, come back. Hilary joins us this morning. Good morning, Hilary. Good morning. Oh, God. Carol, come back. Hillary joins us this morning. Good morning, Hillary.

Good morning. Oh, Hillary. Great to hear from you. In a change-up today, we're going to try and guess your son's name. Now, normally how this works, you would ask five questions, Vaughn, and then try to guess somebody's mum's name. But as you've probably worked out listening at home, it'll be five questions to guess your son's name.

Now, how many sons do you have? Just one. Just one. Because that was going to be maybe a spanner in the works as maybe there'd be two or three. There'd be multiple sons. No, we're going because we've got the son on another line. Okay.

That phone line currently labelled as Mystery Son. So we don't know that son's name. Okay. But hey, you're on the phone. I bet I can guess your son's name today. So, Hilary, I've got five questions. Okay, fire ahead. What year was your son born?

Oh, no. Hilary! Hilary! It would be particularly momentous for you, I would imagine, Hilary. Yes, 98. Are you sure, Hilary?

That's your final answer? I don't care. Hang on, let me just... Can I have a mystery? Son, Are you sure? That's your final answer? Hang on, let me just, can I, Mystery Son, were you born in 98? Oh, come on. It was my birthday at, what, in lockdown. You should know this. Oh, yes, I was. 98, alright. Was it a confronting moment for you, Mystery Son? Yes. We both have terrible phone

lines. Wait there, wait there. Are you both on the uniden? So, 98, 98, just clocked in at 22. All right, good. Okay, Mystery Son, just pumping you on hold there. Thank you, Mystery Son. Hilary, is Mystery Son a bit of a scallywag? No, not really.

Not that Hilary knows. So you'd say he's a good boy? No. No, I'd say he's a good boy. Okay, all right. Does Mystery, we've established that Mystery's son doesn't have any brothers, but does Mystery's son have any other siblings?

Yes. Mystery's son has a sister. And what's the sister's name? Just as a side. Are we allowed to ask that? I don't know if you're allowed to ask that. No, because you're giving him a freebie then. He's not my competitor, he's my ally.

All right. So what's the sister's name? Am I allowed to answer? Yeah, absolutely. I like that Hilary's double checking. Yeah, good on you, Hilary. You've got clearance, Hilary. Yeah, just got to be cautious, you know.

Yeah. Go ahead, Hilary. Her name is Nicole. Nicole. Nicole. Okay. Nicole. Yeah, that's a good, that's a classic.

Now, is Mystery Son named after anybody in the family? No. Not a family name? Okay. Yep. No. That would then, sometimes there might be an older name in the mix because he's named after great granddad Bartholomew or something.

Yeah, sure. That's a no. What's Mystery Son's favourite meal? What does he love you cooking? She didn't know when he was born. The whole 22 years has been a blur. Hillary's like... He must eat. He's quite partial to nachos.

Oh, yeah, okay. Nachos. Yeah, good, okay. Nachos. I don't know how that indicates someone's name, but sure. Are those your five questions? Those are my five questions. All right, Hilary,

Vaughan is going to have 15 seconds to yell out as many names as possible. If you hear your son's name, please chime in and say stop. That's my son. Here we go. Joshua, Matthew, Sam or Samuel, Liam, James, Jack, Daniel, Jacob, Ben, Thomas, William, Cameron, Dylan,

Jordan, Michael, Connor, Ethan, Caleb, Ryan, I said Ryan, Luke, Nick, Nathan, Jaden, Alex, Mitchell, Joseph. Jaden, I just laughed at you. Wow. What's his name? That's his name now.

Yeah, you can say his name now because I've failed. His name's Hayden. Oh, why didn't you get Hayden? Hayden is a classic Kiwi name. Hayden and Nicole. Hayden and Nicole. Hayden, welcome, why didn't you get Hayden? Hayden's a classic Kiwi name. Hayden and Nicole. Hayden and Nicole. Hayden, welcome back, mystery son. Do you like nachos? Yeah.

Okay, just checking. Just because she didn't know your birthday and stuff. That was a Thursday night classic. Thursday night nachos. That's how I play. We do nachos on a Thursday too, sometimes. Yeah, yeah, growing up. We never had nachos growing up.

No, because it was mints. It was a classic with mints. Yeah, we'd just have mints and we'd have spag bol. Yeah, right. Mama defrosted some mints. Okay. All right, well, we've got for you, even though you couldn't guess the name, Vaughn.

Yeah. We're going to give you these flowers from Interflora, a bouquet of flowers from Interflora delivered with contactless delivery. Hilary, congratulations. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day. Thank you.

Thank you, mystery son. Hayden, you still have to do something for your mother. Oh, yeah, I've got something lined up. Oh, he's a good boy. Oh, can't wait. He's a good boy. That was very sarcastic, Hilary. Does he not normally put in a good effort?

Yeah, well, they usually do. His sister is in Australia, so they usually do. Okay. I don't know if you'll get his munch this year because you've got his year of birth. Yeah, true, true. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's been a study that has looked into the most popular home decor things

that will get you the most likes. Oh, so you've been given this weird subject. I just said that. Just after we roasted Fletch for it. He just said to me, do you want to talk about this? And I said, no, you should. And he's like, no, you do it. No, no.

He didn't like when we were like, what? Before. So he's handed it off. That is unbelievable. He's passed it to me. I was like, is it because it's home decor or is it supposed to be girly or something? No, not at all. I think you'll deliver this list the better out of all of us.

Oh, don't reverse psychology me. Hey, just quick note. Yep. Facebook's been in touch. Yep. Our live stream featured too much Enrique Iglesias and we've breached copyright laws. Have we?

Yeah, apparently. It contained 36 seconds of audio owned by permanent claims. Uh-oh. Oh, shit. So what does that mean? I don't know. Do they not hear us singing? That means our singing was so on point.

They probably thought I was actually Enrique. Yeah. They couldn't tell the difference. I don't know if that's something that needs to be done. Or what that says to me is that the singing was so bad that only for 36 seconds of the song did it know that it was a song.

Because the whole song actually played. The whole song actually played four minutes, so technically. Right. Yeah, right. Okay. Oh, we'll deal with that later. Talking about decor trends now. So yeah, these are top 20 that will give you the most likes on Instagram. Right. If you use the hashtag.

Posting at your home, using these hashtags, you'll get likes. Yeah. Okay. Because that's the world we live in. Dude, there's 20. Where do you want me to start? 10. Oh, I don't know how to say number 10.

Ceramic. Ceramic. Oh. Ceramic. Ceramic. Two words. Oh. Ceramic. Two words. It was two words, right? And you thought because it was a hashtag, it had to be one long word.

What is that? Ceramic. Where? Pot. Ceramic tiles. Ceramic tiles. What's this word? Ceramic. Ceramic.

Tools. Teles. Ceramic. It looks like ceram- like. Oh tools. Tellies? Ceram-a-titties. It looks like ceram-ticles. Ceram-a-titties-ticles. I'll give you that. When it's together in one word, ceramic tiles looks like ceramic-titties.

Show me. I want to see what it looks like. What's number 10? That's too small. I can't see all the way over there. Ceram-ticles. It looks like ceram-ticles. It does, but I'll give you that. That's hashtags small. I can't see all the way over there. Ceranticles. It looks like ceramicals. It does a bit.

I'll give you that. That's hashtags. Ceramicals. Ceramic tiles, 172 mentions. Okay. Number nine is log burner. Hashtag log burner. Oh, God, I love saying, because, you know, I love cabin porn.

That's one of the Instagram accounts I follow. That's not porn made in a cabin. That's cabins. Cabins that are,ins that are porn to the eyes, basically. And yeah, some of the fireplaces they have are amazing. So the decor trends that are going to get you the most likes on Instagram, number eight

is hashtag bay window. Like a window seat? I hate bay windows. Aren't they really 80s? Is that a window seat? Yeah. And they put a cushion on top and people are like, I've just been reading the latest R.L. Stine Goosebumps book in my window. It's a little reading nook. Yeah, it's like a reading nook.

I can't get comfortable in them. I'm too wide and I'm too long. They're not deep enough to sit. Oh, that's not just me? How about your body? And I'm in a seat to lean back and you can't lean against the window. No, they're bloody stupid. They're pointless. So I've been told. Oh, that's not just me. And I'm lying in a seat to lean back and you can't lean against the window. No, they're bloody stupid. They're pointless.

Oh, my God. Number seven is hashtag hanging plant. Hanging plant. I feel like that should have been way up. I've got one of those and it is slowly dying. Oh, my God. I've got so many hanging plants. Do you want me to bring it to my...

Bring it in and I'll nurse it back to life. Yeah, but then you'll bring it back and it'll just die again. I think there's something in the apartment. You? You. And a subtle lack of hydration. Yeah, right. Or too much.

Number six is a feature wall. 250,000 mentions for a feature wall at home. But does that equal likes? I thought feature walls... Well, it depends if it's artwork or it could just be like nice coloured walls. Right. I don't know.

Are people hashtagging feature wall when you go to like a flower wall? You know, that's not in your house. Hashtag smeg. You know those smeg fridges?

350,000 mentions for the number five. Because they sell, because I remember when I was looking at fridges once, they sell those fridges that look like

they're old fridges but they're new. And coloured. Hashtag pantry. 371,000 mentions. That could be a euphemism for something else. Could it be? I don't know.

Kitchen island. Oh, yeah. I want a kitchen island. Do you have a kitchen island? We've got a breakfast bar. What is the difference? So the breakfast bar is joint to the main kitchen bench. The mainland.

It's part of the mainland. But an island is by itself. You've got to have a fair bit of room, a fair bit of kitchen real estate to be rocking an island. Yeah, that sounds lovely. Because you've got to be able to get around it. You kind of want to, you know, just shy of a metre gap either side of it.

You're costing yourself a lot of bench space. But by all means, if you've got a sprawling country estate with a large kitchen, bang yourself on an island. Quite the look. And number one, 582,000 mentions is a macrame wall hanging. I know some of those have got, they've kind of come back

into fashion, haven't they, those? You know, like people put a bit of driftwood and then it's got like usually beige material hanging down in the design. That's quite cool. I mean, I wouldn't. I mean, it's not for me. It's not for me, but someone, for someone.

Someone will, yep. Yeah. Well, that's number one on Instagram. It's a bit like a dream catcher. Yeah. But it's all made of wool. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, the Enrique Iglesias live stream debacle,

the fallout continues. We just received a message on Facebook before that we used 35 seconds during our Facebook live stream of the song Hero. Well, the fallout continues, Vaughan. Yeah, the live stream's now blocked in Canada. Okay, so apologies to our Canadian listeners, viewers this morning

Yes On the live stream Because we I don't know what we've done But we've wronged Enrique Iglesias In Canada Yep Canada

Yep For some reason I believe is Is that the home of the Enrique copyright? That's a very good question Okay Maybe they have a stricter rule Okay

Yeah Canada Your content is no longer viewable on Facebook in the specified territories of Canada. If you submit a dispute, your content may be restored. It seems like we're all

going to court for that, doesn't it? We don't need to go to court. We just need to... Oh, send a message. Send a message to Facebook saying, I believe there's been

a Canadian-based mistake. Well, if we're dealing with mistakes in Canada, it must be time for... Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Today's fact of the day is that in 1952, a nuclear physicist used a mirror and a nuclear bomb detonation to light his cigarette. Wow.

I don't know how close he was. And he's probably dead now either by old age, cancer from cigarettes or cancer from the nuclear bomb that he was standing close to. So, yeah, he worked out. He said, well, the amount of energy that comes off a nuclear bomb, it comes off in all sorts. It comes off in heat. It comes off in shockwaves. And it also produces an insane amount of light energy.

Now, if I use a concaved mirror. That's correct. Concave. So the bomb's over here and it's sitting that side? Yeah. Concave. So the bombs over here and the – sitting that side? Yeah. Concave. Thank you, Megan. I knew you knew that for some reason.

We've talked about this before. Concave is – What's convex? Looks like a cave. Looks like a C. And convex is that. Ah, the one. Oh, yep.

Oh, no, because that's concave as well and that's a backwards C. Yeah. That's a – Okay. So concaved mirror. I should be able to light my cigarette. Okay. So he did so and it was a rumour for a very long time,

but then it was confirmed in a book published in 1986, Under the Cloud, the Decades of Nuclear Testing. It chronicled his lighting of the cigarette in detail, of how he did it and why he set out to do it. We've all been at a party with a smoker that doesn't have a lighter. You know, the toaster comes out, a piece of paper, the stove. My favourite is where they huck it over

a gas element on the stove and they get their face too close and then they lose a bit of eyebrow. Or their hair or there's a bit of a smell. Yeah, true, they're a resourceful bunch, aren't they? Addiction makes people pretty resourceful. So today's fact of the day is in 1952 Yeah, true, they're a resourceful bunch, aren't they? Addiction makes people pretty resourceful. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is in 1952,

a nuclear physicist, who you thought might have been a bit smarter, but apparently not, lit a cigarette with a mirror. Fact of the day, dayughan and Megan, the podcast Now yesterday, if you were part of the program at around about this time Give or take 15 to 20 minutes either side of current time You may have heard Missed nothing We had a situation here at work where due to bugger

all people being here, they had ixnayed the music in the bathrooms, leading to hearing a lot more bathroom noises than one had grown accustomed to, nor wanted to hear. We were assaulted by something quite... In the men's toilet. Yeah, oh. This wouldn't happen in the females' toilets. No, see, I don't agree with that because whenever there's like a big problem,

it's always the females' toilets. Yeah, it is. Like, remember the phantom pillar? Do I what? That was in the females'. That was. And I thought that was grossly exaggerated. Yeah.

It was not. It was not, exactly. It was an intense situation. Well, we reached out to someone who we believed could help. The lovely Chris Bradley joined us yesterday, and he said he had to run this up the chain of command. We tried calling Bogsy, the CEO. Did he ever get back to you?

No, he didn't actually. He raised a very good point. Here you'll be getting, I'll bring this up at the next board meeting. That's right. I've been added to the board. They just don't know it yet. Facilities we heard we had to hear from and we're joined

now on the phone by the lovely Chris Bradley to give us an update on where we're at re-music in the toilets. Chris Bradley, good morning. Hello, good morning. Now where did we get to, Chris? Well, I thought that I would send this up

the chain of command. So I sent an email to facilities yesterday. Actually responded to the email where I was asked to turn it off. All right. And said, hey, the guys in ZM would really like to be able to sing in the toilets. Thank you. So could we turn it back on? And I got an email this morning saying, yeah, go for it. Oh, this is fantastic news, isn't it?

Okay. I really expected more assistance. Right. Yeah. I mean, I did as well, but that's all right. I'm really, yeah. People are very reluctant to say no to the lovely Chris Bradley. Yeah.

Well, thank you. I guess so. I think random applause to lovely Chris Bradley for bringing us music while we use the toilet here at work. Yeah, thank you. Excellent. Is that all? It's back on. Thank you so much.

Let's enjoy it. Who's in control of what station it's on? You can actually change it in the reception, but that might be a little secret between us. Chris Bradley. Oh, really? Because, yeah, the receptionists aren't manning the reception. They'll probably be back in level two.

Yep. Because I get real offended. Like, they have to rotate it around, but some days it's on the same station two days in a row, and I'm like, excuse me, it's someone else's turn. It's our turn. It's our turn. Thank you very much, the lovely Chris Bradley. Great to hear from you.

No problem. Have a lovely weekend. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, she's one of New Zealand's leading food influencers. Executive producer intern Anya, not only does she run this

bloody behemoth of a radio show, also in her spare time... Eats a lot. I wasn't going to say that. I was going to say food influence. Let's call a spade a spade. Right. Now, how have you found food influencing in these lockdown times?

Have you even posted? I haven't posted. I follow you, but you haven't posted in ages. Now, I was very excited to move into level three because it means that I could have some professional noms again. But, you know, things that come in a polystyrene box just don't look hot on the gram. You could do like a takeaway, you know, things that come in a polystyrene box just don't look hot on the gram. You could do like a takeaway

update. Takeaway special. Yeah, I always put in the most effort in. Similar cheeseburger situation, a cheeseburger off if you will. Or get it home and replate it and do a photo shoot before it gets too cold to eat. Yep, I like where you're going with this. In the times

of level four though, I got so desperate where you're going with this. Yeah. In the times of level four, though, I got so desperate that I started to recreate my own takeaways. Yeah, this got us interested because you're taking on something, you're a bit of a famous. Yes. Lone Star Ribs. Okay.

I've only been to Lone Star maybe once or twice. I don't actually think I've ever had their ribs, but a video popped up on Facebook saying saying here's how to recreate the ribs. And I was like, heck yeah. A lot of fast food restaurants in places around even the world have been posting their secret recipes. And I'm like, why are you doing this? Because when it goes back to normal, you're a competitor down the road.

No, because people are realising, oh, the competitor could get on board. Well, yeah, unless they're leaving out any secret ingredients. No, because people then make that one thing that you've posted and go, yum. I wonder what else they have. That's what I'm thinking. I'm like, maybe I need to make this Dixie chicken everyone else in the comments wants. Did they post a recipe for the Johnny Cash stash? That's my fave.

Not that I've seen. I believe there was a prawn-based dish. Oh, okay. And the ribs. That was the only one so far. Lasso of hog. That's my favourite. I don't know what you just said. Yeah believe there was a prawn-based dish. Oh, okay. And the ribs. That was the only one so far. Lasso of hog. That's my favourite. I don't know what you just said.

Yeah. That's a good one. Have they ever thought about using a thigh for some of the chicken dishes? I'd love to get in their ear. Is this the future of... Because the breast can get a little dry. Is this the future of eating? They put all these recipes into one place.

On a list. And you make them at home. I don't know if into one place. On a list. And you make them at home. I don't know if I can get on board with that. You get given a list and then you go, I want that one and then it appears in front of you. But I had to write out my own list

because it was a video and I had to keep re-watching it. Oh yeah, I hate those. Put the recipe in the comments. Who put it together? I believe it was executive chef, his name was Gerhard. He did a piece to Cam

at the start and he showed the beautiful ribs. Oh God, me and my made them the other night. They were incredible and yeah,

I had to email myself the recipe and write notes. Right. It's pretty cute. Why didn't you post that? Well, because it just didn't look great at the end.

I need to work on my presentation. It's a bit sloppy. Did it turn out sloppy? It did actually, yeah. Oh no. It's delicious but not beautiful.

Yeah, I had a friend, he made orange chicken from some, it's like, you know, it's just like a Chinese takeaway place. Do you know how much sugar is in that?

Because he sent me the video and I was like, oh. But then, you know, I ate a pack of biscuits that night so I didn't really, I should have just had the orange chicken

with all the sugar in it. Yeah, but the fact is when you eat a pack of biscuits, you know you're eating sugar, but when you eat orange chicken, it's disguised. I know. It's disguised as protein. Yeah. Yeah. So what's next?

What are you looking to recreate? Well, I did dumplings, but I could only find wonton wrappers, so I need to find the correct wrapping and then re-attempt that. Because the bones were there, but it was incredible. Yes, I need to do that. Because in the fridge freezer section, they've got them. God, don't stumble into the sex section of an Asian supermarket. Very confusing.

Very confronting. Very enticing. Sushi, when you're just looking for some bok choy. Don't be using bok choy for that. Bok choy is a very unsexy vegetable. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast,
