Hello, welcome to the Fleeche Water Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the Maccas app to get McCafe rewards today. Just before we start the podcast, a little podcast intro. Executive I've put in my work outlook calendar that I need to get straws that are the shape of something. Penises. Penises. Penises. Penis. On the way home from work today

because it's my sister's hens do this weekend. Oh, I'm thinking them from Look Sharp. No, I already had a look at Look Sharp and they didn't have any. So I need to remind myself on the way home I've put an official calendar reminder in Oh, must be penis Is this going to be your first time in a naughty store? No, second

But the first time solo Yeah, I've been before a couple of times Like with the gals For a rambunctious time But this will be my first time solo Like on a business shopping mission I think they'll be expensive How much are you expecting to pay?

I was hoping for like the $10 or less For how many? They won't be spendings will they? The first thing that's come up when I've googled Oh no that's page not found My question is, do they do Paper penis draws? Yeah I was wondering that too.

The penis wouldn't be paper. Okay, bachelorette party dicky straws, coloured, so there's purple, pink, the various different colours of the veins you'd say. Lovely. $11.99. Is there a dark blue one that's kind of scarily dark blue that maybe

you think it's going to fall off or something? No, there's not one of those. But a dark purple. A couple of purples. $11.99 for a pack of 10. How many do you need? I only need 7. Do you think I could take 3 out the pack? It's weird because you don't go to a stag do and drink out of a vagina straw, do you?

That's a fair point. Like, yeah. I just spat. You don't, do you? No. What? I, do you? No. Vaughn? I feel this is very cliche. It would be a straw. It would be more of a cup, wouldn't it? Oh, my God.

I don't know. Yeah. Anyway. There you go. Well, there you go. So that's not bad. But lots of things happen at Hen's that don't happen at Stag Do's. Like the male stripper doesn't get the woman up on stage and, like, rip down her pants by surprise.

It wouldn't fly. No. It wouldn't fly the other way around, would it? No, yeah. No, that wouldn't be cool at all. Everyone would be like, oh, hold on, turn off the music. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She's ripping your pants down, not the other way around.

Yeah. Do you want to hear the description for these penis straws? Oh, by all means. At your next party, have your guests wrap their lips around these festive straws. Each straw has a Dickie mouthpiece that looks so inviting, your guests will be looking for their own Dickie straw. At your next party.

I don't think that would have flown at my baby shower. Yeah, I was going to say, next party is like Christmas. That would be the perfect time. Mother-in-law wrapping her lips around this. It would be great to take to family Christmas to see how long it was before somebody noticed that they were sucking on a penis straw. Yeah, got to mention your dad. He's like, what's this?

Whoa. God, that really. That's going down, isn't it? ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fleece, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleech, Vaughan and Megan. Because that's what I needed this morning, a sucker punch from a microphone. Megan smashed herself in the face. Megan's in a grumpy. You are in a grumpy this morning. Why does Fletch an effing amateur? Because he said something about Gucci's having to come all the way from Italy.

You can get Gucci's in New Zealand, you amateur. I was like, wow, okay. I didn't have a lot of sleep, okay? Tough times. Tough times. Well, you've got to be prepared. This is what your life is going to be for the next wee while. Yeah.

No sleep. Yeah. It's definitely preparing me. It's good times. Yeah, well. What? It's what I do. I do the oh well thing. Remember? I do it all the time.

Oh well. You're a scared executive aren't you? It wasn't that loud. She is right beside you. I think everybody's ready for holidays aren't they? Yeah. The top six is coming up. The Olympics. Break dancing

at the Olympics. I've got the top six. So this is in the Olympics. Next Olympics. Not the Olympics. By the way, I didn't know they were saying

Japan's ready in April for the Olympics. No. I'm like July. July. That's too soon. Everything's not going to be ready by then. they reckon it No. I'm like July. July. That's too soon. Everything's not going to be ready by then.

they reckon it's... The vaccine started yesterday or something. Yeah, did you see all the old birds are rolling out on the news for a shot? Did you see William Shakespeare

was the first man in the UK? William Shakespeare? Yeah. William Shakespeare. A man named William Shakespeare got the first... Really?

Yeah. I thought you'd confused another William. William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was the first Really? Yeah. I thought you'd confused No. Another William. William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare was the first man to get the

UK vaccine. See his parents knew what he was doing. What they were doing there. Their last name's Shakespeare. Yeah Maggie. Maggie and William Shakespeare. Is that Mrs Shakespeare?

No. Maggie was the first person. Yeah. She didn't flinch at all when she got her jab. Really? Maggie. She was like 90. I remember, yeah, my nana said,

you start feeling pain when you get older. I remember her saying that. She had an infection on her leg. And I was like, that must be sore. She's like, nah, you're my age. You don't feel pain anymore. I don't know if that's a good thing or makes me sad. Ultimately, it wasn't.

I've got a friend going to the Olympics. His flights just got booked like this week. Oh, okay. We've all got bloody Olympic friends, do we? He's your friend as well. No, I'm just saying it's happening. So Tokyo will be next year, by the looks of it, hopefully, with everybody vaccinated.

And then Paris, 2024. Yeah, so there's a smaller gap between the Olympics, Judah, that have been delayed from 2020 to 2021. And yesterday they announced that there will be some new sports. And people are like, ah! Yeah. So I've got the top six sports we might see in 2028, if 2024 is any indication.

Because they're doing break dancing. Do you know, I reckon 100% they should bring back Tug of War. That's right. Tug of War was at the Olympics. Like, how amazing would that be? It's the Olympics. It's not a beach fun day, boys. It's not a community beach day.

You can watch Tug of War at an Olympic level and tell me you wouldn't watch that. Just the most hulking dudes You can imagine Just heaving on a rope Like Belarusians And like Russian dudes Just monsters

There'll be some drug tests after that eh Oh yeah There'll be a lot of fails too I don't know how everyone's got their hands on this letter But it might be because Kim Kardashian has handed it over. But Joe Exotic from prison, which is where he still is, is hoping that Kim will help him get out of prison. Because she's big on criminal justice reform. She's been getting people presidential pardons for very harsh

convictions. She's been to the White House before, hasn't she? She has. She's had Trump's ear before. So he is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence. Is he a year in? Yeah. We got the show

this year. But was he already in prison? He was already in prison. He was already in prison. Right. So it might be closer to two. So I can read you part of the letter that he wrote to Kim Kardashian asking to get out of prison.

What is he in prison for again? He was convicted of plotting a murder for hire against Carole Baskin. That's right. Among other charges. I think there was charges related to the Tigers. Yeah. The hire against Carol Baskin. That's right. Among other charges. I think there was charges related to the Tigers. Yeah. Like, I mean, it was a great show because it was, you know, like absolute trash.

Train wreck. A train wreck. But he does deserve to be in prison. Let's not forget that, right? Yeah. Like nobody's saying, oh, he should be free. Really, are they? No.

Only him. Only him. Only him. Yeah. Because that's the thing. She does criminal justice reform, but these are for people who have first-time drug offenders 30 years ago and get life in prison for non-aggravated, yeah, not quite what Joe's doing. Yeah, exactly.

He was organising a hitman. Like, that's bad. Yeah, and killing tigers. So he said, I know you've never met me and you may never want to. However, I do believe that you hold the values of our justice system dear to your heart. I'm writing you this letter not as Joe Exotic, but as the person, Joseph Maldonado Passage,

asking you to please help me by just taking 10 minutes out of your life and placing a call to President Trump to look at my 257 page pardon. It's all the evidence I'm innocent and ask him to sign my pardon so I can return home to my husband, Dylan Passage,

and my father. Trump's not going to want to spend his last days as president reading 257 pages. He doesn't. Famously doesn't read. He doesn't like reading.

But I can just see Donald Trump being like, ha, jock, Zodic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll get me some press. I'm on the pardon roll. I was pardoned too. What did he do?

Well, there's talkie. He didn't kill them, did he? Out. Out. There's talkie even wants to give himself a pardon, a pre-pardon. Yeah. And his family.

And everyone's like, can you do that? Weird. Apparently so. Unprecedented times. himself a pardon a pre-pardon yeah and his family and everyone's like can you do that weird apparently so president yeah well i mean it might give us another season of tiger king so maybe you should do it because that was absolute train wreck television it'll be in the um negotiation only if trump can be in there i don't think that you need to get joe exotic out of prison to get more train wreck American television. Just given their behaviour this year. Train wrecks built in now. They're cool.

16 past 6. Is it though? Because of... An old man's sad, guys. This is not what I want, you know, heading into Christmas. No, no, obviously. I don't think any of us need. Want sad granddad. No, but it's because his wife passed.

Oh, my God. Well, he's invited. What? Why are we talking about this? It's really sad. Because I'm imagining there's going to be like a really ultra cute follow up. You're imagining. No, the internet will come through for this guy.

So he's in the UK. His wife passed during the COVID lockdown. How old is he? He is 75. So not even that. It's not really that old. No, not in 2020. 2020's not that old.

What are you looking at? Hedge guy's back. The guy that cuts the hedge real straight. Today is looking up. Today just turned a quarter. The guy that cuts the hedges outside's back. Who does the really straight hedge? Is it the same guy?

I think it's a different guy. Is it a young? I'll be able to tell. No. I mean, it's not. He's just doing little bits. He's not doing it with a blade, like a big blade thing. No.

He really doesn't want to wave to me. It's a different guy. It's a different guy. He doesn't want to wave to me. No, he's just cutting a little bit with a secateurs sort of situation. Oh, no. Yeah, because that doesn't look as straight now, does it? Maybe, what happened to that guy?

Well, maybe there's multiple people that work for that hedging contractor or the gardening place and they like to change it up. I reckon he'll really love it if you go outside and tell him that it's not straight. Why is he just doing little bits? I don't know. Maybe he thinks that's enough. It's just a trim. It's just a little trim.

No, he's just a little bit. There's no rhyme or reason as to why he's trimming although. He's pulling off the dead leaves. Are we going to talk about the whole man

or the hedge? To be honest, the hedge is a happier story even though he's trimming it just for secateurs little like leaf by leaf. Yeah. Is he collecting the leaves?

Yeah. Yeah, he is collecting. He's got a rubbish bag down. Oh, okay. It's an interesting situation. Well, yeah. collecting. He's got a rubbish bag down. Oh, okay. It's an interesting situation. Okay, so the 70 posted on the hedge. The 75-year-old Tony, he has passed out invitations around town. Oh, God, I thought you were going to say he's passed out.

For company on Christmas Day because his wife, his soulmate Jo, has passed. Do they not have kids? No. Or I'm guessing maybe COVID as well, they can't invite them around to Christmas anyway. But then he's inviting people around because he doesn't want to spend Christmas alone and he's even got, he must have a sign writer in the

family. Okay. Or he must know a sign writer or maybe a sign writer put the thing up in his window because he's got like a window display that says, I have lost Joe, my lovely wife and soul mate. I have no friends or family, no one to talk to. I find the unremitting silence 24 hours a day, unbearable torture.

Can no one help me? Oh, buddy. Yeah, he says, I love cooking. I'm a bit of a wine connoisseur. Right. My desire to cook depends on who will join me. But yeah, he said he does have family, but like spread around so the travelling

part. And he's 90. Yeah. Yeah. No, he's only 75. Remember we said 75 and we were like, that's not that old in 2020. Yeah, that's not that old. Oh, I thought he was 90. I've got, oh, he'll be fine then. Why did I think he was 90 this whole time?

He'll be one of those old mates that thinks he wants company until company comes around and he'll be like, shush. Get out. I'm watching the chase. Don't yell the answers out. I also know the answers. There's been a Kmart recall. If you bought this product between September and November 27,

September 26 to 27th of November. Is it pyjamas? No. No, not this time of year. It's always your winter jammies that, yeah, they need to be warned about flammability on because people get close to an open fire or a heat source, don't they? It's something seasonal. It's a

festive wreath. So a Christmas decoration essentially, you know like a round wreath. You put it on your door A round wreath Yeah you put it on your door It's made from wicker And it's got like

Plants on the front of it Yeah Well it hasn't been Given the treatment It was supposed to be To get rid of like little Germies and bugs and stuff And anything living

Yeah Because what do they do Is it fake Like plants and wicker and stuff? Or do they like reason the hell out of it and treat it somehow? So everything's killed? Or is it all fake? I would have thought that the plants would have been fake. Maybe it's the wood, right?

It'll be something in the wood. Sorry, I didn't mean to. I was trying to yawn. But then I was like, I know the answer to this. It's the wood won't have been treated sufficiently and it could be

something like there could be little insects living inside the wood oh okay right like it's a biosecurity little organisms orgasms

orgasms yes yep always getting people into trouble orgasms um but all the leaves

and everything you're right the mind wandered um all the little leaves and everything You're right The mind wandered All the little leaves and stuff would be fake Right okay So yeah It's a Hazards to our native plants

In New Zealand That's quite serious then isn't it Yeah Wow Christmas decoration And then yeah Like could have little buggies And organ

No Could have what Organ Organ Why can't I say organisms In it Yeah There we go Buggy's an organ... No. Could have what? Organ... Organisms. Why can't I say organisms? In it. Yeah.

There we go. Not orgasms. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. From the exotic ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

Welcome to the top six. Looking at the Olympics in 2024, there's going to be some new sports added. And they said they want to focus on the new sports bringing more youth into the Olympics. Like youth sports that look at youths. And also more gender equality. Okay.

They want female participation to be 50% at Paris in 2024. It's been working its way there. Rio in 2016 was 45. Tokyo 2020 will be 48. And then hopefully Paris in 2024 will be 50-50. Tokyo Olympics look all set for July. Yeah. Which is interesting, yeah.

Even though a lot of countries Like Australia Just yesterday They're again saying There won't be a lot of international travel Until like at least The mid kind of year But all the athletes

Who have to have a vaccine right Yeah Should they be prioritised To be vaccinated So there will be 11,092 athletes In Tokyo apparently Okay And the to be vaccinated. So there will be 11,092 athletes in Tokyo, apparently. Okay.

And the four new sports also focus on urban youth. So there's skateboarding, sport climbing, which is like rock climbing, but obviously not on rock. So it's just called sport climbing. Yeah. Surfing and breaking. That is break dancing. Wow.

Those would all be so cool to watch. Surfbing. Yeah. Surfing and breaking. That is break dancing. Wow. Those would all be so cool to watch. Surfing. Yeah. Oh, they're going to make their own wave pools. I was like, how can they film at the beach and guarantee waves? Yeah, no, they might have those specially made wave farms. Oh, yeah. The Kelly Slater that has that wave farm,

they call it a surf farm or something. That's so cool. Yeah, it's just like a perfect wave every time. Yeah. And if you're doing exactly the same waves, it's just like a perfect wave every time. Yeah. And if you're doing exactly the same waves, that's got to be better for surfing competition, right? Because everybody's getting dealt the same hand. Yeah, that's true.

What are you Googling? Surfing in France, a guide to the best surf spots. Right. So there are some spots. Yeah. But it's not really renowned for its surfing, is it? I don't think so. You never hear it.

So does that mean every Summer Olympics would have to have a beach or... Or a surf... At least a wave. You wouldn't have... A wave pool. You wouldn't have a wave pool for the Olympics. Come on. But only big countries get it.

Yeah. And crazy amount of facilities get built. Yeah. And then you can't guarantee over that period of time that you're going to have enough decent waves. And the weather might be, yeah, yeah, not in your favour. Could have bad wind. I'm still saying bring back tug-of-war.

Big fan of tug-of-war being an Olympic sport. Just how big people are and how strong they are. That would be a hell of a watch. So the top six sports I've got proposed for the 2028 Olympics. If it's a youth and urban focus. Right. Number six, avoiding someone by pretending to be on your phone. Should be a new idea.

Good idea. Sport. Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty good at that. That's a cracker. I think I overreacted that, though. Mom, hello?

Oh, I've got a message. Oh, my God. Mummy, are you in trouble? Must I come and support? I'm just going into the warehouse. Is it urgent enough that I can't shop? No? Okay, I'll call you back on the way out.

And then you can call them back on the way out. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six sports for the 2020 Olympics if focusing on the youth out. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six sports for the 2028 Olympics if focusing on the youth urban. Stopping eating Pringles before polishing off the whole tube. Good luck with that one. Yeah. Too hard.

Even the best trained couldn't stop there. Number four on the list of the top six sports for the 2028 Olympics if the youth urban focus continues. Not procrastinating. That's worth just across the board with continues. I'm not procrastinating. That's with just across the board with everything. I'll do that soon. I'll do that just after this.

That can wait for tomorrow. Number three on the list of the top six sports for the 2028 Olympics. Telling someone you should totally catch up with absolutely no intention of ever catching up. Yeah, I do that all the time. Until next time you say you should catch up. I feel like you have the intention in the moment

and then afterwards you're like, oh, yeah. I've said it to a few people lately, a couple of people, and I actually meant it. Really? I know. Wow. It was weird. But have you followed up? Yeah, I have. Then like a couple of days later I was like, hey, I know everybody just

says we should catch up, but we should probably actually catch up. Now they're ignoring you. Oh my God. They didn't mean it. Yeah, they didn't. Amazing. Number two on the list of the top six sports of the 2028 Olympics if it's a youth urban focus.

Just having one drink. Just one. Just one. Why? What? Just one. Just one drink. Yeah, I'll pop in, but. Just one. Just one. Why? Just a quick drink. What? Just one. Just one drink. Yeah, I'll pop in, but just for one.

Oh, you can never stop after one. Yeah. They've opened the bottle. It'd be rude to... Make the... That'll be mad. ...start. And number one on the list of the top six sports for the 2028 Olympics,

if it's got a youth urban focus, having a conversation with someone where you can't recall their name and just calling them mate until you either remember their name or hear somebody else say it. Yeah. That's a real challenge. Hi babes. Yeah. Oh my god, how are you?

Hon. Mate, how are ya? That's the tone. It's always like, g'day mate, how are ya? That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and That's the tone. It's always like, g'day mate, how are ya? That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well,

a study's been done looking into the type of music that people listen to, to work out. And interestingly, they asked thousands of people, 65% of people that did the survey

and responded said that they would have no motivation to exercise without their workout music of choice. Without music. I'm the same. Like, said that they would have no motivation to exercise without their workout music of choice. Without music. I'm the same. Like, I forgot my ear pods, headphones, to the gym yesterday,

and I was like, ugh. Did you still work out? Still worked out, but not the same. Like, just being inside. Like, there's music at the gym, but it's not as loud, and it's not as like,

I don't know, it's not your music? It's not as like i don't know it's not your music your choice nah so that was quite interesting whereas you're like pod i know a few people listen to podcasts at the gym and um if i'm doing cardio on the machines just watching shows on an ipad right um yeah totally it's all about distraction the reasons people chose uh music to listen to during the gym are 32% to boost the mood, to help focus, and to get in the zone. And only 19% as a distraction from the physical exertion. Yeah. So that's why you choose the podcast. Yeah.

So they obviously ask people all about the types of music they like. And a lot of classics and a lot of real cliche, um, songs. Yeah. Top five. I've got the top five workout songs. This one surprised me.

Kelly Clarkson, stronger. Now this is a live, a live version of this song. Is it because it's got stronger in the title? Yeah, when it gets into the... Yeah, that's motivational. Amps you up, doesn't it?

The fourth most popular song for workouts. Really? Yeah, it gets a bit cliche now. This is from the National Party ad, isn't it? It is, actually. It was This is from the National Party ad, isn't it? It is, actually. It was first made by the National Party. In 2011 or 2014? Yeah, and then Eminem ripped it off.

Yeah, classic. But again, it has that build-up though, right? It does, and then gets into it. So that's the fourth most popular workout song. Welcome to the jungle, Guns N' Roses. I don't think I need him screaming in my ear holes. Already I'm quite amped. I don't even like this song.

But I'm like, okay, okay. It is a classic, but I wouldn't have thought about it as a workout song. And there it goes. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe like in the spin class. Were you just imagining yourself on the treadmill there? Yeah.

Yeah, if you're in a spin class and you're all peddling to that, I could get behind it. Yeah, so there's a group workout song to my mind. Yeah. Oh, yeah. This is the most stereotypical cliche song for an ad. Or, you know, like at a pre-sports build-up and they're doing the match reporter.

They're like, whoa. You're just like, oh, come on, get another song. But again, it's number two on the list of the- Great use for Survivor. Yeah. The band. I know, like, how much do they make? Do a Google.

I'll do a Google. They must make so much money on royalty from TV ads and even just plays every year. Because that song, when would that have come out? The 70s? Or the 80s? Early, really early 80s. The number one workout song. This again is pretty cliche.

Yeah. Like this reminds me of basketball and sports build-ups. You know, get the crowd like... Yeah, pumping. Clapping along and stuff. D-fit. D... Just like a basketball.

Yeah. So those are the top workout songs. But again, anything, any music, people will just have music just to amp themselves up. I'm guessing most people have their own playlists. Oh, Survivor sued Sony over Eye of the Tiger Royalties in 2014. Oh, okay. I still don't have an exact number.

Because were they not getting them? 1978, they signed a deal. The group is entitled to 50% of the money from sales of its licensed masters. Only 50%? Yeah. So, like, everyone else is getting the rest. That's nuts. Mad, eh?

It doesn't have an exact of how much they would get. But yeah, they would still be getting royalties. Is this song still played all the time? I can't believe that Snoop Dogg's Sweat isn't on there. Yeah. I thought when you started reading this out, I thought Snoop Dogg, that Snoop Dogg song, Sweat. It's still used all the time.

It's quite cliche as well, isn't it? Producer Jared, relatively new relationship happening. We're watching it unfurl. Blossom, aren't we? We're watching it blossom, aren't we? Yes. Right in front of our eyes.

Like a flower. We've met the GF too. Yeah, we did at the weekend. Absolutely lovely. Very cuddly, weren't they? Oh, don't start that. It was cute, but I just didn't know. I don't think I had pick stocks pegged as a cuddly guy.

He's a South African lad. Of course he is. Very in touch with our feelings. Yes. Right. So it's going well. So this isn't about you. This isn't you.

You haven't dropped the album, right? Jared. Jared. Have you? This isn't part of the story, guys. Oh, my God. No, because this is unknown to us. This is unknown to guys. Oh, my God, no, because this is unknowns to us. This is unknowns to us.

Oh, my goodness. Did you actually? Yeah. When? Was it after Megan's baby shower? Yeah, it was after Megan's baby shower. What's that? Oh, and all bloody tanked up on gin.

Were you? Yeah. There were a few gins. Yeah, I'm like, but this isn't your story. There were a few gins. But this isn't your story. This is a friend's story. I don't know if I'm done with this story yet. Who said it first? Who said it first?

Was this after you left Dr. Rudy's? Was this just after you left Dr. Rudy's pre the gunshots the other night? This was pre gunshot. This was pre Rudy's. Okay. Oh, really? Okay. I can't imagine if you'd said I love you and then you'd been shot at Rudies. Yeah, it would have been terrible.

That glass ceiling just told somebody that he would love you. Should we move on? Yeah, let's move on. Let's move on. But it's been reciprocated or? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so it was both parties said it. That's nice. That was an unexpected story, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was, man. We just got there. A little bonus there. That's nice. That was an unexpected story, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. We just got there. A little bonus there. Exclusive. Yeah. Okay. So, but this isn't about you. No, not about me.

A couple of weeks ago, we went to like a weekend away and one of Emma's mates was like, Oh, I've got a little friend with benefits situation happening. So I'm going to invite him around. And they've only met a few times, and then we find out the next morning in the girl debrief that he dropped an L-bomb. This is a casual hookup. This is like the most casual of casual hookups.

Again, was gin to blame or alcohol? Potentially. Right. But I believe he doubled down on it the next day. Wow. He remembered saying it. So after a couple of hookups. Yeah.

Dropped an album. And how was that in the girl debrief, the girl's debrief the next morning? I can't believe you got invited to the girl's debrief. Yeah, it was my first time in the girl's debrief. Wow. I love a girl's debrief. I've been to a few girl's debriefs. Not all of them, but I've been to a couple. It's pretty. She's full guys. She's full boys. It's day brief i've been to a few girls debriefs not all of them but

i've been a couple it's pretty it's she's full guys she's pretty sacred to be invited to one i know yeah you do feel honored yeah i felt privileged um yeah a lot of squealing a lot of and yeah other stuff yeah it was crazy were you at the girls debrief when you dropped the album the next morning no no no no no no if you're the subject of the girls debrief when you dropped the album the next morning no no no no no no no if you're the subject of the girls debrief you're never invited to the girls yeah the turnaround on the girls finding out about our little situation was incredibly fast incredibly fast we were at another party like half an hour later and they were like oh so they knew then. Yeah, it was crazy. So what happened with the album dropped?

So apparently they were like having a little cuddle in bed and he was like, I love you. And she was like, I love you. I love you. But what was the outcome in the debrief? What was, what was, is she like, this is great? No, she dropped that dude real quick. Oh, wow. She was freaked out.

Okay. He misread the situation. I Oh, wow. She was freaked out. Okay. He misread the situation. I think we were all a little freaked out. Yeah. Yeah. And then, so we were talking about the album being dropped super early in this, and then producer Mountie pipes in. You and Nick said it real quick.

Really fast, yeah. Like your third date? Yeah. Third date! So how long from meeting him to saying I love you, how many days was that? It would have been within the week. Wow!

These weren't just like date dates. They were like intimate meetings. Right, rendezvous. We had spent quite a bit of time together. And you've been together for years now, haven't you? Yeah, so we said I love you within the three days of whatever

and then three months we moved in together and now it's been six years. Wow. It felt like a slight dig as you moved your hand in there. I don't think you were just like, I don't have a ring on this. No, we moved really fast and then things really just... So we want to take your calls.

0800 DALES AT M. Give us a call now or you can text 9696. How soon did you say I love you? And did it go good? Good or bad? Yeah. You've got the Mountie example

where it went great, still together six years later and you've got the it was over in two days bad example. Yes. Oh, it was two dates, wasn't it? Couple of hookups. Yeah, couple of hookups.

0800-DARLES-AT-AIM, give us a call now. You can text as well, 9696. I love you, Harry. I was going to say, how long did it take you to say I love you to Harry Styles? It was pretty quick. We're talking about how quickly you dropped the album. Well, we got onto the topic because producer Jared told us

one of his middies' best friends had it dropped on her by a casual acquaintance. Yeah, two dates. And the album came out. She was like, I'm out. But then it came out that producer Jared's dropped the album. They haven't been together that long. And producer Mountie,

she had the album after a few days. Three days. It's very confusing for you too, eh, to have people that in touch with their emotions. What happened to the good old days of waiting to wait for a year? That's what I did. People often say to me,

Vaughan, what's the secret? How did a straight 10 like you pick up a what? Get another 10. Straight 10. Right. And I said, well, you've got to make him wait.

Make him wait. Dave, how long was it until you dropped the L-bomb? So mine was the first night because I was on the old Jolly Juice. And then within a week later, we moved in and we've been

five and a half years as a baby. Oh. You're the first. When you know, you know though Dave. Oh mate, I reckon that's

the same thing. Obviously Alcoa was a bit influenced but hey. How did you say it? Did you say gosh I love you or love you

or? In the midst of the moment I was like I love you and she was like I love you too and don't know how midst of the moment, I was like, I love you. She's like, I love you too. And don't know how all that went down, but yeah, that was it. What? Wow.

Wow. Hey, but you've been together five years, you've got a kid, that's awesome. Yeah, like a week later, she texted me. Oh, no, I texted her, I was like, do you want some company? And she was like, yeah, all right. And then there was a lesson. So you said, I love you, and then it waited a week. Oh, yeah.

And then we texted, and then literally, I don't know, you know love you, and then it waited a week. Oh, yeah. And then we texted. I don't know. The show was less than a week. And I was like, do you want to come here for a couple of days? And she was like, yeah, all right. And that was it. You never left. Wow.

Never left, man. I'm like a bad smell. Wow. As you can't get rid of your Dave, that's brilliant. Thanks, mate. Penny, when did you have the album dropped on you? It was after we spent our first night together. It's not Dave, is it?

No. I wish I could give you Dave's number just in case it all falls to bits. Was it alcohol related as well? No, no, because it was the morning after. Oh, okay. Wow. Who said it first? How does it come up on conversation that quickly?

Oh, I think he just sort of, you know, we woke up in the morning and he was just like, I love you. And I said, no, you don't. Yeah, shouldn't he have said something like, I think I might love you or I think I might be falling in love with you. That's a better way of saying it, right? And then you have to say something like, oh, yeah, that's nice. That's funny what was what was your name again just to make sure i've got it right wow and so how long did you stay together are you still together now um we would be uh unfortunately

he passed away a couple of years ago penny penny, that's heartbreaking. Yeah, but we were together for 20 years and had got married and had two kids. We've just been absolutely note-bots there, haven't we? We were rollercoaster Penny. I was all like, this is cute. Oh, Penny. Yeah, so, I mean, we moved in about a week later because I needed somewhere to stay

and we just never really moved out again. Oh, Penny. Oh, I wasn't meant to be. Yeah, yeah. And it took me a lot longer though to say I love you back. I was like a few months in. Oh, right. So he said it and you were like, ha, ha.

I'll just leave this for four months. Yeah. Leave this to mature a little and see what happens. Yeah, nice. Penny, thank you for your call. Thank you for sharing that. Anonymous, how long did it take you to drop the album? At least three days.

Oh, okay. And was alcohol involved? Probably. I was on a holiday in Bali. So we had spent, it was, yeah, she was a foreign girl to me. And I dropped the I think I love you line to her and she sent it back. And she's still in another country at the moment. And we stayed in contact for a good solid years.

We went on to different places in the world and stayed in touch. But now we've kind of drifted off into different paths. But yeah, at least three days. COVID's kind of keeping the countries shut. Anonymous, thank you. Ask some text messages. The album. Someone said one month till we said the album.

Just past our 10 year anniversary, two kids, and we were 15 and 16 when we got together. Oh wow. Holy moly. Album at three weeks. He asked my folks to marry me after three months. Married after two years. Together 15 years. Three kids in the mix.

Wow. Set it within three weeks. Began together nine years in January. It was love at first sight. Two weeks, he said he loved me. Just after I said to him that I loved you, we've been married for 28 years. So there's a lot of good stories.

Mind you, people are like, yeah, I said I loved her and we got married and we got divorced. Probably aren't calling, are they? No. No one wants to share that story about rushing into it. No. Keeping up to date with the news just became a little easier. As at Heralds new podcast the

Just going to go to myfavor favoritechristmasclop.com. 13 and some? 15 days and 16 hours until Christmas. Did you see the photo of all those ships that are lined up in the Gulf, outside Auckland, in the water? No. All the container ships? Yeah, some of them have turned around.

Because all the retailers are like, where's our stuff? Where's our stuff? That's our Christmas presents. Yeah, I knew. I heard it was because Phil Goff wanted to play a real-life game of Ship Came Into The Harbour at the Auckland Council Christmas Party. And he's waiting until... Yeah, they're all going to sit at Rangitoto,

at the top of Rangitoto, and they've got to call it as it comes in, and if you're wrong, you've got to drink. That actually sounds so fun. Like an actual real life ship came into the harbour. Yeah, that'd be fun. Consumer electronics. You could be there all day. All right, it's time now

to play Naughty or Nice, the 12 Days of Fletchmas. We're going to meet our nice lister this morning first Brandy good morning good morning now why are you does this really bother him

is this music for the nice list from Home Alone yeah it does it does feature it's the Home Alone music right isn't it when he goes out at night and goes see it's like the happiness when it's like...

I think it's just generic Christmas happiness. Because he starts to get sad because he's missing his family. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's when they come back the next morning too. He wakes up and... Come on! Brandy, why are you on the nice list? I put myself on the nice list because I have offered to work

for my work mate after our Christmas due the Sunday morning after. So she can get drunk and not have to worry about working hungover. Oh, that is nice. Why did you do that? Well, it's her last one. She's resigned.

So I thought she may as well go out with a bang. Screw her. It's her last one she can work on. Yeah, she can be hung over. She's got nothing on when she vomits on a customer. That's sweet. She's already leaving. That is nice of you, though.

That is very nice. Very selfless, isn't it? Yes. Okay. And just generally, you've been nice all year or just this once? Yeah, I want to say all year. Okay. Okay.

It is the home of my music, by the way. Elle messaged. She said... It is. Thanks for noticing. Hey, Elle. We always notice you, Elle. We always notice. Who's on the naughty list? Briony, you... I was going to say you naughty little...

You naughty little... Briony, you're on was going to say, you naughty little... You naughty little... Bryony, you're on the naughty list. Why? I'm on the naughty list because my sister owed me $20 from a supermarket shop that I did for her. Yeah. And she said she would pay me back, but she didn't. So I said to my family that I would make dinner

and I made a beef dish. And I know my sister hates beef cause she thinks it's too chewy. Yeah. So she came over and she's like, what the F is this? And I'm like, oh, it's a beef dish. And she's like, but I hate beef. Why would you make this?

And I was like, oh, I completely forgot. So then she left and made herself her own dinner. And I got left with leftovers for lunch the next day, and I got my $20 back. You got it back with the leftovers. Also, I try to do nuts and noodles, it's too chewy. That's not on the beef, that's on how it's cooked.

And that was one bad experience that's tarnished it. That's just, sorry, I got a little meat right there. I found it coming, I found it coming off. Yeah, I felt that as well. It's how you cook the meat if it's chewy. Give me some. Okay, so,

but she gave you the $20 or you reclaimed that in beef value and leftover value? Oh, no, no. She gave me the $20. Before you told her that it was beef for dinner?

No, after. After? She still gave you the money. She still gave it to you. You did it on purpose. You're on the naughty list because you purposely cooked something you? You did it on purpose. You're on the naughty list because you purposely cooked something you knew your sister wouldn't

like. I like that. Because it means more for you. That's a great idea. Yeah, it is good. That's why dads buy yuck lollies on road trips. Yeah. Because they don't want to have to share with the children, so they'll buy something the

children don't like. Well, I am picking today, Brandy. I'm picking you. I'm picking today Brandy. I'm picking you. I'm picking the nicest because Bryony got her $20. Yeah. And her revenge. And she got her revenge, so I think that's enough. It's really nice what Bryony's doing.

And it is really nice what you're doing, Bryony. Don't tell people I picked the nice one today. Can I open your present now? Yes, please. You have one. Oh, okay. Here we go. You have one for yourself.

don't we have the 12 days of Fletchmas get those in your ears to block out the people on you were looking at the board like you wanted to steal those I saw that look I know that board Smith look.

I did get a little bit of a look there. But I was just thinking, great also for putting in when you're working that extra shift to ignore everybody else. Oh, yeah. Good luck with that. If you would like to register

for the naughty or the nice list, ZM online, and we'll do it again tomorrow, the 12 days of Fletchmas. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Google has released its year in search for 2020.

There's a few things that are pretty obvious on here. So I have for you. COVID. I was going to start with news events. The top three news events. Coronavirus is number one, yes. Election. US election.

Yes, number two. COVID. It was another big thing that happened. Bush fires. Yes, start of the year. Always forget that. Australian fires. Yeah.

There's a few things on here that you're like, oh my God. Yeah. That was when, that was Jan Feb. Because I thought the worst the year was going to get was when Alton John went off midway through that concert we were at. I was like, good one 2020. Yeah. Yeah.

Could this year get any worse? Yeah. I know. So overall searches worldwide. Coronavirus, number one. US election. This is different to the one I just read to you. That was news events.

US election results. Number three was Zoom. Because people are like, what is, or they just wanted the link to download. Download it. What is it? I need it. Wow, that's massive. That was number three.

Wish I had Zoom shares. Oh, me too. I wish I'd bought Zoom shares at the start of the year. Yeah. Didn't even know it was a thing. Yeah, people are still Zooming. Well, you think about it like New Zealanders might not be Zooming all that much, but the rest of the world is.

True, because then you see an interview with a celebrity and they're doing it on Zoom still and you're like, oh, yeah. Good Lord. Number four is Seesaw. So this is an app that's used in classrooms. Yeah, in America, it's most schools are using it for online learning. Kobe Bryant is in the overall searches. That's right, he died.

January. Was that January? We were like, oh, that's awful. Ministry of Health, Education Perfect, Work and Income are all in there, sadly. And Naya Rivera and rounding off the overall searches is Sharesies. Please don't start with your Sharesies. Shit, I might have some money sitting in my Sharesies account that needs investing. Too late to go on Zoom.

You got out of Sharesies as soon as you'd profited off a whole lot of people's misery. I know, it's horrible. I'm out of Sharesies Too late to go on Zoom Yeah You got out of Sharesies As soon as you'd profited Off a whole lot of people's Misery I know it was horrible I was like I'm out of this I'm not cut out for this So global figures Do you wanna

Oh this is cute Okay Kanye West made it in there Because he was running for President Yeah He did that cute Carole Baskin

Was in there Joe Exotic Yep Elon Musk Was What did he do? Was it the rocket this year? SpaceX, yep. Was it this year? Yeah.

Huh. Tom Hanks is in there. Everyone was like, oh my God, are we going to lose Tom? Yeah, because he was like the first big name with COVID, eh? He was the first to leave. Yeah, and then we go into political figures. Joe Biden, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, and Kim Jong-un was number one in the global figures searched in 2020.

Because everyone thought he'd died. That's right. And his sister had taken over. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I have questions. How to, what is, and why? The top Googles.

Okay. Okay. Do you want to do the top three how-tos? How to... Make a bread. Change a tyre. Make bread. Yeah, make bread.

Everybody was making bread. Make sourdough. Yeah, you're right. Second to last was how to make bread. How to make a mask. How to make a face mask was number one. Oh, wow. Nailed it.

How to make hand sanitiser was number two. Vodka. Should everybody join that? Vodka. Because you had to make sure it was the right amount of alcohol to kill buggies. How to vote in New Zealand.

Okay. Yep. And how to lose weight was the next one. Fast. Because of all the bread. Yeah. What about Kiwi Celeb Searched?

I always like that list. Kiwi Celeb, do you want to know number one? Jacinda. No. Jacinda's not even on the list. Oh, maybe she's not considered a celebrity.

Maybe that's under the call to Ashley. I just thought because we all knew. Ashley Bloomfield. Ashley Bloomfield is number three. Who beat him? A rugby player. No. Okay. Israel Adesanya was number two.

And Hayley Holt was number one. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Most searched Kiwi celebs in 2020. Top three aren't even rugby players. Huh. Wow. I'm just trying to think. There was one rugby player second to last.

It was Dan Carter. That's different for us. Hey. It wasn't as much rugby this year? Yeah, they probably did. Yeah. Not as many international fixtures. Yeah. Lots of it didn't happen. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. So if you haven't seen, at the moment,

Jimmy Fallon has done a recap of 2020, 2020 The Musical with Andrew Rannells, who you may recognise if you watched Girls. Yes, he was like the gay best friend, right? Flamboyant gay best friend, yeah. So he was like the gay best friend, right? Flamboyant gay best friend. Yeah, so he was in that. And he was also the original Elder Price

in the Book of Mormon musical, which I didn't know until yesterday. I didn't know that was the same guy. Him and Josh Gad was Elder Cunningham and that's kind of what got Josh Gad into Frozen and his role as Olaf and now we all know who he is. So, they do a recap of 2020 in the style of all these different musical songs.

And one of the songs that it was Hello from the Book of Mormon. Yeah. Now Sade and I were watching it and we were like, this is so clever. And then afterwards she's like, I can't believe we saw the Book of Mormon at the start of this year.

And then like a week later, COVID lockdown, all the people in Book of Mormon had to go home. Yeah. I think it had done the opening night in a couple of shows and then they shut it off. Yeah. So we listened to probably my favourite song on that. Shall I get it going in the background?

There's no swearing in this one. Because if people haven't seen it, it's the South Park guys wrote and created Book of Mormon. Yeah. And it's quite offensive. But this song's not. This song's fine. I still can't believe how popular it is given its offensive nature.

Oh, I haven't got my headphones on. I just heard the doorbell. You haven't plugged in your aux cord, Vorna. There it goes, plugging that in. Yep. Hello, my name is Elder Grant. Right. It's a book about America.

It's the very start of the musical. It's probably the least offensive song in there. And super catchy, amazing Grant. Right. So it's about, it's the very start of the musical. Yeah. It's probably the least offensive song in there. And super catchy, amazing song. Yeah. And so Sade and I played this and the girls were like, what is this from? I was like, oh, it's from the musical we went and saw. And they could remember we went out and saw it.

And they were like, oh, it's funny. And there's one line where it's like, hello, I'm Elder Smith. And they were like, ah, it's Sade. So they got all excited. And then when they went to bed, they wanted to listen to it again. Yeah. So we listened to this again. And then August said, I've got an idea for a song.

I want to write it down before I forget. Oh, God. Okay. And she wrote down. They're going to want to watch this musical now. No, no. They are going to. No, not yet.

Yes, they are. They're going to watch it on YouTube when you're not around. They might watch, well, yeah, okay, that's a fair clue. Just YouTube Book of Mormon and that. And then get the hello and then the rest they'd be lost on. And she wrote down, hello, my name is Jesus Christ. I would like to give you my book from China. So she's changed it slightly.

She's probably not wrong. That's probably where they're printed. That's pretty, yeah, well, it's the cheapest place to changed it slightly. She's probably not wrong. That's probably where they're printed. That's probably, yeah, well, it's the cheapest place to get it printed. But, I mean, listen to this catchy little ditty in the background. You can see why they were drawn to it. It sounds like it could be from Sesame Street or something. Oh, 100%.

So you were getting a bit of grief about your parenting. Well, no, people are like, well, I think that's about the only song that's at all appropriate for children to listen to from that soundtrack. And I said, yeah, yeah, definitely. Someone's like, stop it before song three. Avoid the following song. Someone said, oh, yeah, my kids love this.

I accidentally let it go on to the next song once, and I came back into the room, and they were just like wide-eyed. But she's trying to work her way back into the graces of God this morning. She said she wants to do family grace at Christmas this year. Don't look at me like that. I know.

Do grace because my nan's like Catholic. Yeah, right. Catholic nan. I imagine the tradition will disappear at some stage. So she's written down this morning, apparently Sade said she's turned a corner of her slightly

heathenistic ways of writing her own version of the Book of Mormon. Dear God, thank you for this amazing food and our wonderful family. Amen. So she'll be back in the will. Is that long enough? That's all that's required. No, that's all you need. That's how Catholic our family is.

Two lines tops. If it goes on, everyone's like, the food's getting cold. Come on, come on, come on. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. 15 days away from Christmas. That is two weeks tomorrow. Oh, my God, Fletch. You have such a sad face.

15 full days. Yep. But you've still got today to get through. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? There's like 15 hours in today, but then 15 full days to go. Right, okay. Semantics, Your Honour.

Because to me, tomorrow you would say 14 days, which is two weeks, but I don't want people thinking it's a Thursday Christmas. It's a Friday Christmas. It's a Friday Christmas. It's a Friday Christmas. Have we still got that big tropical cyclone heading our way? Correct, yeah.

Just in time. I saw US weather models last night. I decided to do a bit more of a deep dive. Yep. Slamming right into us. Just before Christmas. In the week before. So in the week before,

it's going to be up in the Pacific between us and Australia. And that's at the point where they're like, this is where tropical cyclones could go. That way to Australia or this way to New Zealand. Well, let's all blow it over there.

Yeah. They deserve it. They need it. It's very dry. Yeah, exactly. But Kiwis should be used to not expecting a sunny Christmas.

Yeah, you know it goes either way. Summer's coming a bit later. Yeah. But yeah, 15 days till Christmas and I thought we could delve into what your go-to Christmas song is.

I'm against this segment. I just, I'm over it. I'm over Christmas already. You're not going away for Christmas. So this is a very depressing year for you. Yeah. And you're listening to Christmas music all the time. Oh my God.

I'm so deep in the Christmas albums. I've been listening to the Buble like that's a given. I've hit that hard already. Yeah. Sia's Christmas album

is so good. Sia has a Christmas album. Yeah. She has a song called Puppies Are Forever not just for Christmas. Did she use one of the songs to explain why

she adopted 18 year olds? No. I just feel like that. They're going to want a just for Christmas. Does she use one of the songs to explain why she adopted 18 year olds? I don't know. They're going to want a puppy for Christmas. But then they'll leave bloody home and she'll be stuck with the dog. Yeah, probably. Like all kids do. Okay, I'm looking at Sia's, you can see her face! No, that's Maddie Ziegler

on the front cover. Had you thought you'd finally seen Sia's face? I thought she'd made a huge mistake. Everyone can see her face. Okay, so she's got songs called Santa's Coming For Us, Candy Cane Lane, Snowman, Snowflake. Snowman is the best song. I feel like every singer wants that Mariah Carey

All I Want For Christmas. They want that next big Christmas song that gets that Why wouldn't you go see you through? If I was an artist, It's exactly what I'd want Isn't that how Hugh Grant Made his money in that movie About a boy His dad or he

Wrote a Christmas jingle And then he just Sat back baby Yeah If you were an artist Why wouldn't you want A Mariah Cariola Christmas situation

And we google this every year But I seem to remember It's something Two and a half million dollars In the US alone For royalties Yeah From that one song She could probably spend Pretty dollars in the US alone for royalties. Yeah. From that one song.

She could probably spend pretty quick. Yeah. Phenomenal royalties. Right. But you'd like to take this moment Megan to ask people

their favourite Christmas song. Yeah you go to. This just sounds like you want to hear Christmas music. Does it? Does it? There's absolutely

not one Christmas song that doesn't make you make that noise. Not one. That you can think of that just tickles your fancy just a little bit. What about Do They Know It's Christmas? Do they know? Because they don't know it's Christmas.

But the bells do. Yeah, that's all right. That's a did and a net. Okay, maybe that one. Maybe that one. It was white Christians forcing their holiday on people who weren't their religion. So, you know. Yeah.

Is it problematic in 2020? What about Wham! Last Christmas? Is it Wham? Yep. Last Christmas. Okay, right. Okay, well, you can give us a call. I'll 800-DALZI them and tell us your go-to Christmas song, your favourite,

and Fletch will give them a burn. Fletch will give you a rating of out of five meh. How much he hates it. Five is full hate, one meh is he could probably hear it. I can't be the only one that hates Christmas songs. Oh you know someone's

messaged in, I'm with you Fletch. Hating Christmas. What's that like? No don't get me wrong I love presents you, Fletch. Hating Christmas. What's that like? No, don't get me wrong. I love presents. I still want presents. No. 15 days until Christmas.

And also because I want to hear a Christmas song. And partially because it annoys Fletch. We want to know what your go-to Christmas song is. Your favourite Christmas song. There's some crackers. Good morning, Cam. G'day, guys. How's it going?

Good. You don't sound like a guy that likes a Christmas song. I bloody love Christmas songs. They're wicked. Don't you assume on behalf of Kiwi lads that they don't love a bit of Christmas songs? So what's your go-to, Cam? Now, mate, this has got to be a quintessential classic. You spoke about it before. Last Christmas by Wham.

Oh, see. It's a sick... Did you just hear the noise Cam made? Such a good music video too. And I mean, I've got to say, RIP George Michael. He passed away, he was at Christmas Day in the UK about three years ago. Did he pass away on Christmas Day? Yeah, it was just after Christmas. Yeah, it was Boxing Day for us.

But yeah, and oh. If he'd hung in there a few more days, the royalties from this song alone. Oh man, I'm not ashamed to say I shed a little tear for him. How long ago do you think it was? Give me your guess as to what year it was, Cam. 2016?

Yes, correct. Four years ago. He knows. Four years ago, this Boxing Day. You're not getting one past Cam, mate. No, he's a big George Michael fan. Brilliant. Absolutely.

Cam, thank you. Well, there you go. He's pleasant. I mean, I'll give you this. Not a bad Christmas song. What do you give it out of? Five meh. Five being the worst you've ever heard.

One being you could probably. I'll give it a meh. One meh. One meh. So that's about as good as it gets. That's good. Thanks, Cam. James, good morning.

Your go-to Christmas song? Well, it comes from a 2006 artist that changed the world. I feel like that's sarcastic. Such bangers as Now You're Gone and All I Ever Wanted. He did a rendition of Jingle Bells and it is the best bass hunter i've got it because you know a drop's coming yeah i'm imagining it's coming i'm imagining it's coming. I'm imagining it soon, James. It's coming. I'm fizzing already. Now. Now.

No. No. Oh, my God. If you are any sort of fitness instructor and you're not using this at this time of year, you need to kick up the arse. You should have your PT licence revoked. Yeah.

And 45s will be going off around the country. Yeah, they will. Oh, my God. And everyone in the neighbourhood will hear it because those people have no idea how to listen to music at a reasonable volume. I remember we met Bass Hunter in the 2000s and it was like a sub-owned...

It was like Sacha Baron Cohen was doing a character. Weirdly, I haven't talked about him for like 10 years, but this year we seem to have talked about Face Hunter quite a bit. He promised to come back after he did his New Zealand show, and I am still waiting. Wow. You're holding him to it all these years later. Yeah.

Amazing. He loved the ladies, as I recall. I'll give you one more for that, because that's... It almost sounds like a crazy frog Christmas. It does. Thanks, you cool. James, Caitlin, good morning. Good morning.

I can't believe you just cut that off there, Vaughan, just like that. I thought I was getting prepped for Kate's. What's your go-to Christmas song, Caitlin? Mine would be Pentatonix, The Little Drummer Boy. Oh, they're the ones that go – Yeah, I mean, that was probably quite rude to their hours of practice. Oh, I know. I wasn't saying we were as good as them.

I was just saying that's what they do for people who aren't familiar. Right. Have you managed to find it? Yep. Pressing play there. Why is it not coming through? Oh, your thing wasn't on. You had it down.

Don't blame me. Oh, there you go. Chicka, chicka, chicka. Oh, I thought that was part of the song. Man, that's shit. This is a shit party because you're like, chicka, chicka, boom, boom. Oh, my.

Oh, okay. It is, it is. I'll take my hat off to them. It is quite amazing how they do all that. It is, it is. I'll take my hat off to them. It is quite amazing how they do all that. It is, it is. And there's only how many of them? There's five of them? Yeah, thanks, Caitlin.

Marsha. Marcia or Marsha? It's Marcia, but I always get Marcia. Oh, no, you'll have Marcia. You shall have Marcia today. Marcia, good morning. What's your go-to Christmas song? It is Snoop Dogg, Winter Wonderland.

Have I heard this before? Christmas song? It is Snoop Dogg, Winter Wonderland. I don't... Have I heard this before? That's off the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack. Yeah, that's it. It's awesome. And I chose... It was awesome. Okay, let's listen. I don't think I've ever heard this.

No, neither. Yeah! Oh my god, I love this. One man. It gets better. Gotta give it a chance. Oh, it gets better? Yeah. There's no swearing.

Is there swearing, Marcia? There wouldn't be on Pitch Better. No, no, no. No, and it comes in and it's just great. It's awesome. Anna Kendrick? Yeah. Gosh, she's got a lovely voice, doesn't she?

Your kids will love it. Okay, is there a bit we can fast forward to? I could just give a... He has such a sweet voice. He has a little bit of a rap in the middle. Is there? Well, I'll shoot in the middle there. Are you remixing that?

Or is that how it's produced? No, I'm fast forwarding through trying to find that rap bit. He does have not a bad relaxing sort of voice sometimes, eh? Go back to Bass Hunter. Thanks, Marcia. That was lovely. Your go-to Christmas song there. Thank you for your text What?

Someone said Because you know how I said The bass under song Sounded like a crazy frog Somebody said We've still got the crazy frog Christmas album We don't need that

Yes we do It's Christmas I would I would love to see a panel of experts on humanity sit down and explain this. Mike, do you know what I mean? I want a mental health expert. I want a psychiatrist.

I want a psychologist. I want a neuroscientist, but what part of the brain did Crazy Frog activate? Yeah. And then in the videos, it had a little blue diddle. Remember that? And everyone was

okay with it. Ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding. Jingle bells. It's just Jingle Bells. Oh, I know. What's this one? Campbell bloody love this. It's Last Christmas Crazy Frog.

See, it's not even about the frog anymore. Someone else is singing. There's some bong bongs in the background. Oh, my God, I love this. I love this. Oh, my God, we found it. Do they just sing or do they just do bing bing? Oh, no, here we go. We'll find out.

Last Christmas, I know. Here we go. We'll find out. And I reckon in a thousand years, you'll be able to play Crazy Frog to kids. And even then, they'll be like, what's this? I love it. Oh, nice, nice. Crazy Frog's got some talented friends. When's the small bling bling? They always get put on at the end of the line. Here we go.

BING BING! I would have put one there. Yep. There's not enough bing bings. BONG BONG! I would have put one there. BING BING! The chorus has got to be loaded with... Yes! Bang, bang. No, we're hanging out for Crazy Frog today.

Oh, bang, bang. Do the ring-ding. Do the bang, bang. Here we go. Oh, my God, I'm here for this. Why do we find that so amusing? Best Christmas song ever. Uh-huh.

I have just found out something shocking about these two Crazy Frog songs. What? Released the day George Michael died. This probably killed him. Oh, my God. Okay, well, everyone now can finish that on their own time. Can we hear one more? Oh, okay.

I want to, for the record, Your Honour, Fletch requested we listen to more. Here we go. Wow, I think we've found the greatest Christmas song of all time. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, you'll remember a few fact of the days ago I told you about King Camp Gillette, the guy that invented Gillette razors.

Yes. And the fact was just that his name was King Gillette. That was his first name. Just blew my mind. Today, I want to tell you about Clarence Leonidas Fender. Guitars. Correct. American inventor who invented the Fender electric guitar.

The Stratocaster were all like the big guitar brands. Today's fact of the day is he couldn't play a guitar. What? Isn't that crazy? The guy that invented the... The guy that invented what is like the most iconic guitars in the world. Yeah. The Telecaster, the Stratocaster, the Fender Precision Bass, the Fender Bassman Amplifier.

He invented all of these things and he couldn't play guitar. But who did the design of the guitars? He did. But he didn't even know what made a good guitar. Well, apparently he knew what made a good guitar, he just couldn't play it. He knew what it took to have a good electric guitar. Yeah, right.

But no, he could never play the guitar. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and he couldn't play, he was the first person to be put in that couldn't play an instrument. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. When Jimi Hendrix played his guitar, somebody's like,

oh, it must be good to see someone playing a guitar so well. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, he's pretty good. And they're like, oh. Yeah, he's pretty good. Can you play it? And they're like, and that's kind of how they found out. And he's like, oh, no, no, I don't play them.

I can't. Never learned. Wow.'s kind of how they found out. It's like, oh, no, no, I don't play them. I can't. Never learned. Wow. Just kind of had an eye for invention. Do people that design planes fly them? No. Not always. Not necessarily.

Like aeronautical. No. I wouldn't. Maybe not. Not pilots. Because they'd have to be pilots. Yeah. They just know the physics.

But then if you pick up a guitar and play it wrong, 200 people aren't going to die when your guitar plummets into the ocean, are they? That's true. That's a really good question about people inventing things that don't actually end up using them. So today's fact of the day is

the guy that invented the Fender, the very famous Fender brand electric guitar, Clarence Leonidas Leo Fender, the very famous Fender brand electric guitar, Clarence Leonidas, Leo Fender, could not play the guitar. Fact of the day, day, which is a UK website. I'm pretty sure this would work here, though. There is an app, EGRE.

So it's like agree, but EGRE. It is a free download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. And the first three eGreements are free And then they start costing 99p per eGreement Now what is an eGreement? You can get this here in New Zealand I've just seen it Get it done

eGree Let's agree to eGree For all of life's agreements and disagreements. So the co-founder, Aras, said that protection's a key word. It's vital for the next generation of go-getters that are able to protect themselves and their interests. And this is about, I don't know, you might share an idea you have with somebody.

Okay. And then they could steal it. And because you just had a talk in person, they could just deny it. Yeah. I'd never said that to him. Basic legal framework. There's 17 types of contract you can draw up and there are a few with

regards to relationships. So there's like if you're going to send someone a nude, you would get them to agree. Not to share it. Not to share it or put it anywhere or it's all in the contract. Wow. It kind of takes the heat out of the moment though, doesn't it anywhere. It's all in the contract. Wow. Kind of takes the heat out of the moment, though, doesn't it?

If I could just get you to sign this. Save the embarrassment later on, though, right? Would you do a prenup on there? Like any kind of serious legal thing, you'd probably want to actually go to a proper lawyer. Well, I don't know, actually, because it says about keeping digital relationships private and for those looking to set ground

rules after a breakup or separation. So kind of, maybe like an entry level prenup. Because you hear about, you know, like back in the days when Justin Bieber was a bad boy and there'd be parties and you hear of celebrities that have big parties, people have to leave phones at the door and sign non-disclosure

agreements. So they can't say I had this wild night with X celebrity. Yeah. This happened, this happened. So they sign their lives away. I'm wondering if that would, you just get them to do it on an app now. And then you could sue them. Yeah.

Because you've got the legal framework of someone that made an agreement and you've broken a legally binding agreement. Should we do that at our parties? Oh yeah, our wild parties. We all sit down and have a couple of drinks. Hey, I'm just going home real early. I know it's 8.30. Can you just sign this contract just to say that

the only legal agreement would be Fletch has to say goodbye before he leaves, not just disappear into the night. Look, as I've said, you ghost parties and then you don't get hit with a, oh, stay and drink another one. How awful that they want you to hang around. Yeah, evaporate into the night. Look, as I've said, you ghost parties and then you don't get hit with a, oh, stay and drink another one. How awful that they want you to hang around.

Yeah, evaporate into the background. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. God, I know like 2020's dealt some stuff, guys, but it's not over yet. The former head of Israel's space program.

Yep. This is Professor Hamashid, who, before I tell you what he said, he holds a degree in electronics engineering, a master's in performance research, and a doctorate in aeronautical engineering. Wow, so he knows his stuff. He's a clever cookie.

Well, he has said that aliens are on Earth and they've made an agreement with President Trump not to blow their cover. Of course they have. President Trump agreed to stay quiet while the aliens conduct experiments on Earth and they want to wait until humans are evolved more and have

a better understanding of the galaxy and the other living beings within it. Right. Before they're like, hey, we're here too. Yeah. They should have done this when the last Star Wars movie came out. Or like now with The Mandalorian.

Good promo. Great time for aliens. Yeah. We're understanding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can take it. Why trust of all people to trust? Why would you trust Donald Trump?

Apparently it's something that, according to this guy, that the US president knows about. There's an agreement between the US government and the aliens. They signed a contract with us. Because aliens, of course, would be doing paper and pen contracts. They too are researching and trying to understand the fabric of the universe and they want us as helpers. Huh.

I was watching a news panel the other day and they were discussing life after Donald Trump and people are actually seriously worried that he knows all these secrets and that he's just going to be now a citizen on Twitter and won't be able to keep his mouth shut. Because even when he's been

president, he's talked about secret weapons. Yeah. And remember he accidentally tweeted that secret aerial photograph of an, was it an arms base or something? Yes. And people are just like, well, he's not going to be president, but he knows all this stuff. And he's going to want to feel important.

Yeah. And he's going to rock the boat. Yeah. Could still totally be out there. Apparently, and then it points to an article in 2019 when he was asked about the aliens, because I can't remember, but when he was running for president, he said if there's alien secrets, he'll tell people.

And so someone said, are there any alien secrets? And he's like, nah. Now that's kind of what the guy would say who just signed an agreement with the aliens. I was going to say, no one's going to believe this, but 2020 has proven and shown us that people believe anything. And this is coming from a guy with like a master's degree,

a doctorate, a degree in electronics engineering. They've also got a base on Mars. Now, that's underground on Mars. That's why we haven't seen it. Oh, is that? Okay, you're right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
