Play! The names Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the Maccas app to get McCafe rewards today. Now, this will be the last podcast for the break. Yeah. We've got a two-week break, so...

There'll be the best of podcasts tomorrow, but that's... Yeah. Bits of podcasts that have pre-existed. So Monday the 26th of... Jesus, 26th of July. This month is going fast already, isn't it? Yeah. That'll be the next... If you're overseas

in the Northern Hemisphere, that'll be the 25th, won't it, for you? Yep. So the 26th... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What? That Northern and Southern doesn't determine what date it is. That's sort of more of a West and Eastern situation. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What? Northern and Southern doesn't determine what date it is. That's sort of more of a Western-Eastern situation. No, but it'll be on your 25th Sunday that the podcast will be available. Not if someone's in Japan.

Well, you know what I mean. They'll wake up on the 26th. Fucking America and the UK. You mean West Coast of America. And the Eastern. And the UK. I don't even know if the UK, it would go up at lunchtime, which would be their midday.

I feel like this is semantics, Your Honour. It doesn't matter. No, the lunchtime, which would be their midnight. So when they woke up, it would still then be. The 26th. Yes. Okay. Well, whenever.

The 26th of July, Monday. I thought you made a real point on being the date thing. Then you said Northern Hemisphere, which is incorrect. Our Asian listeners, they'll be getting it mere hours. They'll wake up to it on the 26th as it gets put into the RSS feed or whatever feeds the podcast machine. Well, I don't even know if they'll be paying attention, especially our Tokyo listeners, with the Olympics on.

Olympics will be happening, won't they? That'll be paying attention, especially our Tokyo listeners, with the Olympics on. Olympics will be happening, won't they? That'll be front and centre. Still debating whether that's got spectators. I thought we'd agree on that was a bad idea. Very poor idea. You'd think a giant sporting event would be a poor idea as well, but who knows?

I also want to double down on the fact that I think that's a poor idea. Yeah. So, yeah, we'll be back in two weeks. Yeah. Or if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, three weeks. Again, that's not how it works. No, see how ridiculous it sounds, though? It's not out by hours. It's out by a week.

No, but I'm saying as you start down this trail of misinformation, you might as well be denying COVID in the Northern Hemisphere. Okay, well, in the Northern Hemisphere, 2020, on the 26th of July, that's when the podcast will be on. Are you going back a year now? Well, no, because they are back in 2020. It's a year ahead, but a day before. God, watch out. You guys have got a lot coming. Thanks, Rachel.

Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleech, Vaughn and Megan. A couple of minutes after six o'clock. Vaughn Smith plugging his headphones in. Should we, as a group right now, turn off our alarms? This is... Oh, yeah, we've got to... Oh, my God, don't.

Nothing feels this good. How do we do this? I always forget every time. So we go... Two-week break coming up. Clock, alarm. Yes. No alarm.

Change. Wake up alarm. Don't make that noise. Good. No alarm. No alarm. There you go. No alarm. No alarm. There you go. Suck it, alarms.

Hey, you got a child. That's your alarm. I got two, but I can snooze that alarm all day, baby. Are your kids now at the age where they leave you alone on the weekends when you need to sleep in? Yeah. Good. Oh, wow. That must be nice.

There was a time where I figured out that, how old would they have been? Indy was maybe five. Okay. And August was three by maths there. I'd make them a lunch the night before. Yeah. And so they'd get up. Because the only thing they ever really woke you up for, because then you'd turn on the

TV and get the iPad and everything, but they'd get hungry. So they'd have like a little packed lunch. For breakfast. Yeah. And they'd love it. Right. And now... But why didn't you make them breakfast?

What breakfast could you make them the night before? Cocoa pops. Oh, get soggy. Yeah, that's their fault for not being able to put milk in. No, you'd make them a lovely sandwich. Yeah. Sandwich. And that'd keep them awake.

And they'd get you a little sleep in. Those are the early days of breakfast radio. Now we're cursed with the fact we've been doing this so long the body gets to about 5.30 on a weekend and it's like, you've slept in! Panic! Wake up! Yeah, wake up, get out! Coming up on the show,

we are going to give away $2,000 cash before 7 o'clock all thanks to Fussy Cat. There is a picture on our Facebook page, FVMZM. It is a picture of a beautiful cat, Fussy Cat bowl of kibble. You've got to tell us how many pieces of kibble there are. Before 7 this morning. So the early bird gets the kibble. Now, yesterday, we gave out a, you've got to guess how many pieces.

We've nailed it down to five. We've kind of got it down to a range of five. So it is somewhere between 1635 and 1640. So you've got a one in five chance of guessing that or getting that right. If you get through, we'll take five callers guessing that or getting that right if you get through. We'll take five callers. And then every caller, the chances get better. Well, yeah, exactly.

So your chance is coming up. Listen out for The Activator with Fussy Cat, the top six on the way. Yeah, someone's been naming their babies after heavy metal bands, rock and roll bands. I saw this. David Farrier did an article on this. Yes.

Is this woman Kiwi or American? There are Kiwis. Right, okay. I haven't read his article, so I'm not sure which this particular interviewee is. Okay. But your likes of Metallica, Pantera. Jesus.

The bands that my mum was scared to have me listen to in the 90s, and now those mothers are naming their children after them. Well, I've got the top six friendlier band names that are also good baby names. Okay. All right, it's coming up on the show. And next, I'll tell you the top-selling toy for this year has also been for many years.

Tell you what it is next. Is it a Super Soaker? Do they still even sell super soakers? Yeah, girl. Do they? Okay. Oh, my God. I might actually buy one this summer.

Am I allowed to? Because you're an adult. You can afford the best one. Do what you want. The one with like, because I always wanted the one with multi tanks. I had a backpack tank one. Did you? What, like a flamethrower?

Yeah. And it just squirted every time you pumped. Wow. Rich guy over here. I was one of those ones that had the base that you just jammed on and the hose filled it up automatically. Oh, yeah. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The Warehouse has revealed their most popular toy of the decade. They actually just released their top ten list, but it happens that the number one spot has been number one since 2001. Wow. And it's right on school holidays. I see what they've done here. Very cunning from the warehouse. Yeah. Do you want me to

tell you what the top toy of the decade? It's two decades though, right? Since 2001? Yeah. Do you want me to tell you what it is or do you want me to run up the list? Of the last two decades. The top 10

is this year. This year. Okay. But the number one spot is the same. Yeah. Run up the list. You're going to finish the list. It's got to be a classic, right? Like a Barbie.

And it's not a super soaker. It's not a super soaker. Okay. Okay. No water pistols on the list at all. Number 10, Barbie Fashionista. Vaughn, do you know what that is? Barbie Fashionista.

Specifically Barbie Fashionista. Because we've got a fair few Barbie. We're a Barbie household. Yeah. It's the only Barbie on the list, actually. Out of the top ten. So Barbie Fashionista is the range of Barbies where Barbie did everything. Barbie was in a wheelchair.

Barbie was curvy. Barbie was an astronaut. Barbie was a scientist. Oh, right. Okay. It gave representation to... Barbie. Yeah, Barbie really thought...

Call that Barbie overachiever. She's got all those jobs. She's got all those things. Different Barbies. Right, okay. Number 10 is the Nerve Vortex Mega Howler. That's a classic, right? Yes.

We've had a few of those in the office over the times, haven't we? We haven't had one in this office. This would be a good office for an open plan long. Yeah, for the howler, yeah. Yeah, I'm sure the people in between would love it. I don't care. Number eight is pillow pets. It's a pillow, it's a pet, it's a pillow pet.

We got given pillow pets, remember? No, I feel like she doesn't remember. It's a photo of. We all got given pillow pets. Remember? No, I feel like she doesn't remember. It's a photo of us. Oh, I don't remember. With pillow pets. I think I gave it to you to take home to your kids. Probably. So, yeah, the memory's gone.

I didn't hold on to that. Just wipe that from so much room up there, right? Only hold on to the good stuff. Number seven. This is the Warehouse Top Ten Toys. Monopoly here and now. Okay. How's that different to your standing game? Is that the one where you catch? Only hold on to the good stuff. Number seven. This is the warehouse top ten toys. Monopoly here and now. Okay.

How's that different to your standing game? Is that the one where you can't cheat from the bank and it's all electronic? I don't like that one. It's the one where... They have an electronic bank one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most of them... PayWave. Yeah.

So you can't cheat anymore. It's horrific. It's also when you start playing, it magnetises itself to the table so you can't uproot the whole thing. It's half the fun when you're losing. Number six is the Hot Wheels gift pack. Okay. Number five of the top ten most popular toys at the warehouse is the trash pack.

What's that? Oh, they're little rubbish bins. What? Toys, little rubbish bins. Yeah, it's like, do you remember? Itty Bitty Bins or whatever they were called. So these little characters. So the idea is you buy this bin and it's got slime in it

so you don't know what character you're getting. It's one of those ones where you could end up with five of the same but you keep buying them in the hope of doing the whole set. Can you finger through them in the store? Or are they sealed? You never finger through the slime pack in the store. You know, you have to take it out of the plastic, pop the lid off and get your fingers in there.

Right. Number four. Lego minifigures. I would have thought Lego would have been higher, but it's I think this is such a huge range of Lego. Number three is Zero Bunch of Balloons. That's the one where you fill up with balloons. On the tap.

Fills up with water bombs real quick. Number two, Beyblades. Oh, okay. That's still a massive thing. I've been waiting for my girls to be like, we want to try Beyblades. But they're not. Why don't you just buy them a Beyblade stadium and some toys so that they force them into it.

And then I buy all these Beyblades and stuff and then they're like, oh, we're not really into it. I'm like, well, someone's got to use these Beyblades. So the number one

is from this year and also the past 20 years. The number one toy at the warehouse is the Hot Wheels basic car. So just a basic Hot Wheels car. Wow, okay. So not even like the set with tracks or anything? No.

Wow, okay. Just a Hot Wheels basic car. There's so many. And like grown-ups collect them, right? Crazy amounts. Yeah. Yeah, they'll just sit, they'll go car shows and stuff. There's always tents full of matchbox and Hot Wheels,

and you're always like, what? And then there's just these old dudes being like, I need this one in. It's kind of timeless. I had little cars when I was little, like a whole collection of cars. I used to play car park. Whoever owned our house before us must have been into them because I find them everywhere.

Even now, we've been there for a couple of years. I'll be mowing the lawns. I'll be like, what's that? And then I'll hop off and scratch it, and they're just, like, smooshed into the dirt. I would have found, like, 60-plus. Oh, my God. What?

Cars just strewn around the property. Wow. Up trees. And, like, I've been pulling out, like, plants, and they've been in amongst the roots. West Auckland, Dave. That or the naturally occurring. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan.

This is groundbreaking. In the UK, women are going to be given access to the pill over the counter without a prescription. So this is the first of its kind since the pill was licensed 60 years ago. Because this is a, obviously it's just a pain having to go to the doctor all the time. We always talk about this. We're just like, you have to get a prescription. So even if you call and get a repeat prescription, at my doctor, they still charge you for the prescription. And then you've got to go pick it up and you've got to take it to the pharmacy. And then sometimes they'll stop you and they'll make you go to the nurse and do a checkup, like blood pressure and all that.

The pharmacy does? No, no, no. Oh, the doctor. Yeah, right. Okay. So, yeah, I mean, it is a bit of a pain in the bum and they only give you a certain amount to last. You know, they don't give you years. Yeah.

Does it go off? This might be a silly question, but why do they limit it to three months? No, they limit it. It's not a pottle of yogurt, is it? But some things do lose their effectiveness, right? Like sunscreen's an active ingredient. Yeah, medication generally has a lifespan of like a year or something, right? But you only get three months or something.

Yeah, so why? Because I think you're supposed to go in and get your blood pressure checked. Oh, right. To make sure it's not changed how it's affected you in other areas. But then is that going to be the thing the pharmacy has to do now? So, yeah, you can go to the pharmacist and it's only at licensed pharmacists. So I guess they, I mean, it doesn't say that they're going to like do your blood pressure or whatever. But yeah, I guess maybe they'll ask you a couple of questions.

Right. But it's going to be available to all women in the UK of childbearing age. So that includes teenagers. Yep. Yeah, right up. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

That's so good. So do that here. Do it here. It's only two pills. And I understand that like a lot of people don't. That's so good. So do that here. Do it here. It's only two pills and I understand that like a lot of people don't. Those aren't appropriate. They should have a blood pressure, like the thing is you put in your NHS number

or that's their thing, but whatever ours is, NFL number. And then it's like, are you Megan Pappas? You're like, yes. And it's like, insert your arm and you put your arm in

and it's like, blood pressure. Make put your arm in And it's like Blood pressure Make sure that your Blood pressure's all G Because have you been Like the pharmacists Have blood pressure things now And you just like Stand over there

And you do it But I don't know I'm like Oh is that good You just stand there And do your blood pressure In front of everyone It's just for your own benefit

Well your blood pressure Would go up Because you were Slightly more concerned About being hot Yeah I get real My heart Because you know

That thing squeezes your arm so tight. I'm just like, oh my God, and my heart rate's going to go up and they're going to see. And then you start panicking. They're like, this is very high. It's very stressful. There needs to be a new way to do that. From the dusty ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there.

Well, I'm here to tell you a story about a New Zealand lady who has three children, and they're named Metallica, Pantera, and Slayer. David Farrier's webworm, which has such phenomenal content. Oh, he's always delving into some incredible subjects. It's always awesome. It's always like a really interesting, factual, deep dive into conspiracy theories. Or he found a woman with three children named after 80s metal bands. Slayer's just not a nice word. Like Metallica and Pantera's, you know.

But Slayer. Just every name should go across a desk and it gets yay or nay'd. Because these kids. But it does, doesn't it? Like, I can say New Zealand, they'll ban. There's certain names that, like, Swearwood's a ban, Swearwood's a ban. Anything with a royal title or the name royal in it. There has been...

Punctuation. Violence, Chardonnay and number 16, Bus Shelter have been tried but failed. Chardonnay. Number 16, Bus Shelter. Come on. So she's named her kids, yeah, Pantera, Slayer, and Metallica.

I'm thinking you name your children after your favorite bands, but you've kind of got to disguise it. Right. A little bit. So that's today's top six. The top six friendlier band names for your kids. Okay. Number six, Floyd.

As in Pink Floyd. Oh, yeah. So you're getting the tribute to your band in there. Yeah. Your kid's also got kind of an adorable name, Baby Floyd's Kind. That's pretty cute. Yeah. But there are people, that's not an uncommon name.

Floyd. I would say it was dipped in popularity significantly. I don't know. Yeah, it was like over 50s, I would say, as Floyd. But it's almost done the full round. That's it was like over 50s, I would say, is Floyd. But it's almost done the full round. That's super cute for a little baby, Floyd. Floyd is of Welsh origin and it literally means

of grey hair. Oh, okay. So that's a perfect name. Floyd Mayweather and Floyd Patterson are the two famous Floyds. It reached its popularity in about 1930 and it's just been

dipping ever since. A spike in about 2016. That might have been when Floyd Mayweather was back up. Oh, yeah. It has dipped right back down into 2020.

It went back up in 2020, though, the name Floyd. They have another little jump. Yeah. Still number 173 on the names list. It's down there. Number five on the list of the top six friendlier band names for your kids.

Number five, Leon, as in the Kings of. Leon. Leon. Nice, okay. You can get that in there. Number four, you could call your child Evan. Evanescence. Evanescence.

Nick Jonas.

No, Nick as in Panic at the disco. Oh, okay, you're nice. But also Nickelback works really well if you're a huge Nickelback fan and you somehow manage to have sex with somebody. I think if you're a huge Nickelback fan, you're calling your kid Chad. Let's be honest. Nice tribute. Chad. Nice tribute.

Chad. Number two on the list of the top six friendlier band names for your kids. Zep. Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin. Bingo.

Yeah. It's really had a bounce back lately. There's some real little ratbags called Lincoln out there. But yeah, a little tip of the hat to Lincoln Park. That is today's top six. Woodville, the small town at the foot of the Tararua Ranges, has decided upon a new slogan. 1,600 people live in Woodville.

Okay. So you can imagine this would have been quite the ferocious debate. Hot topic. The ten finalists, junction to your next adventure. That could be anywhere. It could be anywhere. That's not what we want

here in Woodville. No. We want ones that stands out. Yeah. Woodville heart of the Tararua. That's cute. It's got their name. Yeah. It says, heart of the Tararua. That's cute. It's got their name. Yeah. It says, you know, they're the beating heart

of the area, perhaps. Yeah. Woodville, town of treasures. Eh, that could not. At least you got treasures. At least you got actual treasures. Sounds like a pirate-themed town.

Yeah. Woodville, highway haven. Eh, man. Sounds skippable. Sounds skippable. Yeah. Meet me at the junction.

Eh. Hmm. Hidden treasure beneath the clouds. Mention of treasure again. It just sounds like your town's always cloudy. Yeah, no thanks. Woodville. Rest, relax, refresh.

Nah. Nah, it sounds like a police long weekend driving message. Yeah. Or a day spa. Cheap day spa. Wonderfully Woodville. I like the alliteration. Yeah. Or a day spa. Yeah. Cheap day spa. Wonderfully Woodville. I like the alliteration. Yeah.

But... Doesn't say much, though. Nah. Woodville, Jewel of the Tararua. Nah. Nah. Everyone's a jewel of something, aren't they? I don't really like any of those.

Funky Junction. The winner. I've saved the winner for last Because this is what they've described on And this is what they've settled on Yep for Woodville All good in the wood Yep I like it

Good work Woodville So apparently there was only like Two real competitors in it But it's all good in the wood one What was the other competitor? Is it the one we're kind of late? The one The other one

That came close Was Heart of the Tararua Yeah right one, the other one that came close was Heart of the Tararua. Yeah, right. That was the other one that came close for Woodville. All good in the wood. All good in the wood. See, I would stop and take a photo next to that sign. I think that's the key, isn't it? There's a lot here because it's got that, you know,

it's all good in the hood. Yep. It's all good in the wood. Anything with wood in it, there's a bit of, you know, innuendo. Yeah, it's good. So, yeah,

they're going to change it up. It was the local bar lady that kicked that off. Apparently, she used to have it on t-shirts in the bar. All good in the wood. Yeah,

right, and people would buy them. It was a bit of a saying that everybody in the bar would say, are you all good? Yeah, all good in the wood.

They need to get a giant sign with that on it that you can sit in one of the O's. So all good? Yeah, all good in the wood. They need to get a giant sign with that on it that you can sit in one of the O's. So it's like, you can pull over before you get to Woodville. You and your friend

faces in the O's. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like one of those signs. It's all good in the wood and you can poke your face out. Yeah. That'd be cute. That's good.

And then people would put that on Instagram and people will visit your town or just drive through it still. Stop and get a phone. But they might just stop at the sign.

Yeah. And get a phone. Well then you've got them stopped. And it's up to you to have a pie shop nearby that wafts. The smell of pies wafts. Yep.

And then they'll be, so you've got them with visuals and then you've got them with scent. Yep. And then you're obviously going to taste that pie and then give them

a quick feel up. And then, God, you might even stay for a drink at the pub. What? Yes. You might even stay the night.

That's where you get the feel up. Yeah. At the pub. What's the other sense? Why are you getting a feel up? Well, I'm trying to please all the senses.

So I've had sight, smell, taste, touch. What's the other one? You don't need to be feeling everybody. Hearing.

Hearing, yeah. The Woodville Pipe Band. We could do our small town makeovers, like marketing and makeovers. Totally. Put that on your LinkedIn. Done! Oh, yes! I've been looking to update the LinkedIn.

I know you have, babe. Small town marketing makeovers. Marketing makeovers. Brilliant. Love it. This is real good. Play ZM's Fletlesh, Fawn and Megan. Know Your Stuff NZ.

They're the people who run free drug checking services at festivals and events. And they have released some stats which are worrying. Okay. So they checked 2,744 samples at 27 events between April 2020 and March 2021. They found only 66% of MDMA was actually MDMA. Wow, that's a big roll of the dice.

So if there's a group of 10 of you, on average, four of you will not have what you're expecting. Yeah. Methylene diodramethamphetamine. That's why they call it MD expecting. Yeah. Methylene diodramethamphetamine. That's why they call it MDMA. Yeah. It's got an M in there. It's the active ingredient in ecstasy. So instead they found 350 samples of eutalone,

which is bath salts, commonly known as bath salts. But people didn't know that that's what it was. Right. And so it's bath salts. It's literally like, I love a soak in a big bag of Epsom salts. But people didn't know that that's what it was. Right. So it's bath salts. It's literally like, I love a soak in a big bag of Epsom salts. That's good for you. Oh my god, that is so you pour it in the bath and you just lie in it.

There's something magical about those salts from Epsom. David Seymour probably blessed them. Magnesium for your body. I think it's a different kind of Epsom salts. But okay, yeah. It's just white and crusty, so I assumed it was the same. So the bath salts that people are ingesting, thinking they're taking MDMA, are different to Epsom salts?

Yes. Oh, why are they called bath salts then? Fuck, yes, man. What are bath salts? I didn't know that was a genuine question. I don't know. I 100% think they were. It's a drug.

It's a stimulant, right? The name derives from instances in which the drugs were disguised as bath salts. The white powder granules or crystals looks and represents Epsom salts, but differ chemically. Oh, wow. Okay. I honestly have lived my whole life thinking people were eating bath salts. Yes.

And I'm like, wouldn't you know? You'd be like. Oh, no. So that's crazy. Yeah. And the side effects of bath salts, anxiety, headaches, stomach upsets, agitation, paranoia, vomiting, convulsions, and death.

So 68% of people who had their substances tested um said they if they knew it wasn't what they expected they wouldn't take it which is why this drug testing is so important because yeah like only 66 percent is what you actually think it is that's scary that's yeah it's such a it's it's such a hotbed isn't it it, to get involved in like politically, like politicians are like, well, just don't do drugs. And it's like, well, that's not going to work. That has never worked. It's famously never worked for anything.

And then people are reluctant because they think, is this a trap? Because this is like a professionally organised operation that's testing it, but couldn't the police just be doing this and then we're in big trouble? But at least we didn't have last summer with, you know, dead people at festivals because of drugs. Yeah. Because there was some testing.

For sure. Yeah. And also just that was 66% is way worse than what it was the year before. It was 90%. Bath salts. Or, oh, you're saying 90% before was MDMA. 90% of the drugs were what it was the year before. It was 90%. Bath salts. Or, oh, you were saying 90% before was MDMA. 90% of the drugs were what they said they were. Now it's down to 66%.

And it could be due to COVID and, like, shipping and things like that. But it's ruining everything, COVID, isn't it? Just be careful. Yeah, be safe out there. I hope I'm not the only one Well, this is a segment of the show where somebody puts their hand up, they come forward and say, I do this thing. I think I'm the only one that does this. And normally, 99.9% of the time...

I don't think we've ever had one where nobody's... But we also haven't done it a hundred times, so maybe, you know, it's around the corner. Well, yeah, exactly. I think maybe today could be the day because Julia joins us. Good morning, Julia. Good morning. Oh, I'm just giving babies. Now, there is something that you do.

For the record, we're all quite disgusted by this, Julia. Yes, I'm not a monster team. Like, let's just be fair. Wow. What is it that you do that you think you're the only one that does? I eat, sometimes I eat Marmite directly from the jar. Like, you have spoonfuls of Marmite from the jar. Well, I mean, I don't have massive spoonfuls,

but I will eat it directly from the jar, yes. See, I've been known to eat honey and peanut butter and jam from the jar because it's delicious. Sweet, sweet and flavourful. Yeah, yeah, but not Marmite. No, it's good. It's like a big savoury hit, right? Like sometimes you just need something.

You need a big savoury hit. I kind of get that because, you know, sometimes you eat a bag of chips and you just like really dig in the flavour. It's not about the chip. It's the flavour. And you're just getting like this big mouthful of flavour. Yeah, but it's Marmite.

Like it's very – when you make it on toast, what's your ratio? Do you have it quite thick? Well, it's large. And I was thinking about it. And I think because I was the third child, my mum didn't really, like, parent me into, like, how to make toast properly. She'd given up. She's like, I'm sick of these kids.

She's like, you just make your own. And I think from there, I never really learned how to spread. Like, obviously, I can. But I think I grew up just with, like, blobs of marmite all over my toast. Because my taste buds kind of directed me. There's high tolerance, and so it's like

that mixed with it's a comfort thing for me, so if I'm sick or really overtired or whatever, I really want marmite toast or marmite and chip sandwiches or whatever. And sometimes I just really want something really savoury. And instead of like turning my bimmies with toast,

I eat Marmite from the pot. You're not one of those people that puts a spoonful into like hot water, are you? Like drinks Marmite. Oh, no. But I do put it in like casseroles. I did this recently with a bit of cooking. I put Marmite, a big thing of

beef stock, and then added and stirred in marmite into it when it was hot and that was good. Yeah, that'd be yum. Okay, well, Julia, we want to now open up the phone lines. 0800-DIALS-IT-M. Text it as well, 9696.

You ever got a finger load of Vegemite? Well, same thing. Finger load of Vegemite? Well, same thing. Finger load of David Deas food. Very different. Very different. All right, so give us a call. 0800-DARN-SITEM-9-6-9-6. Is Julia alone?

Do you eat Marmite by the spoonful from the jar? All right, we're going to come back next, Julia, and see if you're alone. Well, Julia joined us just moments ago. If you missed Julia, she eats Marmite from the jar. Just if she needs a savoury hit. No one need to feel attacked, but it's just, it's, yeah, it's not a free burn, is it? But you have wondered if you're the only one that does this, Julia.

Yeah, I mean, I hope not. I mean, it's a delicious condiment. It's just such a concentrated. Yeah. It's a latte. Even with toast, it's got to be, for me, a lot of butter and just a light coat of Marmite. Yeah, no, I can't taste it that way. Julia, you will be happy to know that Sarah has called in. Sarah, you also do this.

I do. I love Marmite so much. How much do you reckon you go through, Julia? Oh, I guess it depends on my, I don't know. Like, I go through a big jar because I have children and they also love Marmite. They don't eat it out of the jar. What a big jar. Yeah, we go through a big one probably a month. How big when you're eating it from the jar, Sarah? Like a teaspoon?

Yeah, a teaspoon. I'll make Marmite toast and then I'll continue, this sounds really gross, I'm so sorry, I'll continue to let liquid off the knife. You are a mum! That's the very thing you tell children off for. Yum, and then I'll just kind of put the knife back in the jar

and then I'll just keep licking it for a while. Ooh, goobies. That's nice. I love it. Sarah, thank you for sharing. Oliver, you also do this. Yes. I was happy when I heard Julia does it.

You were like, I've found my people. Yeah. I think it's an intense flavour thing for me because I do the same with, like, curry paste straight from the glass jar. What? My dude. You've got an iron gut. I used to do blue cheese on blood sausage even when I hung over.

Wow. You are all about intense flavours. Do you think there's something, something like stunted about your taste buds or something? Yeah, burnt your taste buds. Yeah, oh yeah. Intense flavours. Did you get mustard on the tongue or something when you swore as a child and like your taste buds had been

obliterated? I don't know. It's almost that same feeling when you like, you have a short black in your jaw, it almost goes like I don't know. Yeah, I know what you're saying, Nat. Yeah. It's like your mouth is screaming. How drug addicts describe

a hit. Oliver, thanks for sharing. Philip, you also eat Marmite from the jar. Yep, so much so that every time we go to the supermarket, I get my own separate jar. What size jar are you rocking?

The big ones. Is that why your voice is so deep? The Marmite's kind of like smoothed the whole situation. It's like, hey, this is my Marmite voice. Well, that and it's my morning voice. Oh, yeah, okay. It's your Marmite morning voice. Well, that's sexy, Philip. Take it to the bank, mate.

So you're getting a big jar of Marmite. How long does that take you to get through? Usually every two to three weeks we get more Marmite. Oh, my God. Those are things. You guys need to join up with, like, Gilmore's or a wholesaler and get one of those. Yeah, get, like, catering-sized tubs.

Yes. Stick your face straight in. Philip, thank you. Some text messages in. Julia, this is easily the biggest response of positive feedback we've had in any one of these. I hope I'm not the only one. Thank you. My people are out there.

I love you. You've got your people. Marmite should release a special jar. Oh, you know how pics do those little squeezy sachets? Marmite slugs. Marmite sachets? Marmite slugs. Marmite slugs. Marmite slugs. Yay!

Or like a Marmite jar with a limited edition spoon cranked to the side. You know when you go to, like, a buffet breakfast and they have those little sachets? Do you just grab one of those and lick it straight out? I stashed them in my car. Yeah, I had them in the handbag for a little treat. Wow. Somebody, some messages in. Somebody said, my record is destroying a big jar in one sitting.

What? Has he pooed? That's exactly what I was going to ask. It must just come, like the next time they poo, it just must be pitch black. Yes. And just slip straight out of them. And smell like Marmite. Smell like a brewery.

It's disgusting. Somebody else said they watched their sister do this and they thought they were eating like a dark chocolate ice cream, but then they realised that she was just smashing a jar of Marmite. Someone said, tell your caller in the UK they've got chilli Marmite, which is like a spicy... Oh, no, listen to that. See, I'd love that on toast,

not by the spoonful. Someone else said, ask your caller if they do what I do. Just when you've finished having a couple of spoon loads, you get a finger load and rub it on your gums for later. Oh, that's the next level, but I should try it. Yeah, it really takes ages

and the flavour just kind of hangs around in your mouth all day. Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah, rub it up. You've got brown teeth though. Does that get into the bloodstream quicker on the gums? I don't think so. Yeah, shoot it between the toes. It'll be, leave no marks.

What have you got between your toes? Marmite, the guy on the radio said to put it straight between my toes. Julia, thank you. Thank you for sharing and opening up this morning. You've really, I think you've made some people feel united. I'm all about making people feel inclusive here. Okay, well, you get back to the big jar of Marmite, Julia. I will, thanks.

ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM Too Hot to Handle Season 2 It's on Netflix now I've already been through the whole season And we're joined on the show now By the Kiwi Chick Larissa, good morning

Hi First of all How did you get on the show? How did that come about? I got a message on Instagram Which at the time It seemed a little bit weird Like a message just from this, his personal account saying,

do you want to apply to be on the show? And then asking me lots of like questions about sex. So I was kind of like, this is a scam. That sounds like a trap. Yeah. So yeah, it was definitely a bit strange. But then as the process went on, it became like Zoom calls and more people got involved. And I was like, okay, this is just some horny dirt in this room.

Wow. Because for the people that don't know the show, the idea is that you go on, there's prize money to be won. There's $100,000 to be won. But every sexual contact that happens on the show incurs a penalty, a monetary penalty off the prize money. So... Imagine if this was real life.

Fletch, you'd be at the bank, mate, being like, please don't take my house. They'd be like, sir, you can't keep putting these sexual conquests against your mortgage. You're like, please, two more. Even with the skyrocketing property prices of Auckland, we can't keep up with you. I feel personally attacked.

Did you know, like, this was a show that you were applying for? No, they told us it was a show called Parties in Paradise. And they had, like, fake, when they put this up from the airport, they had, like, a lanyard, a fake T-shirt. All the crew had T-shirts saying Parties in Paradise. There was even a fake host. Yeah, for the first season. So they tried to cover it up.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah, for the first season. So they tried to cover it up. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. That's so crazy. And then you'd obviously seen the first season and knew about it, right? Yep, I did. Okay. So as soon as Lana pops up, you're like, oh, God, here we go.

Yeah, I think you hear me scream when I see her as that. And then beep. Female dog. Did anybody, I haven't watched the show, but did anybody take it really badly? Were like, this isn't what I signed up for, I've been misled?

Like, because it is, you've been lured there on false premise really, haven't you? I think it was like a bit of it because a lot of people were annoyed and then I think they also realised like, oh, this is a big show, like this is a good opportunity. So

I think it was like a bit of both. So you're like we'll do this for the gram. Yeah. Did you know that it was going to be Netflix when you signed up? I knew it was going to be like the biggest streaming provider. That's what they said. So I kind of did have my like I did have a little bit

of an idea or like a little a little bit curious, but the fake host a little, I was a bit curious, but the fake host and everything threw us off. Wow, okay. You describe yourself as Elle Woods because you're also a lawyer. Are you in New Zealand now? Or whereabouts in the world are you? Yeah, I'm actually in Auckland getting ready for work.

What? Sounds like you're in a bathroom. Yeah, I am. So when did this film, was it pre the pandemic? No, it was actually filmed in like November, December.

So I had to fly over during COVID, which was crazy. Wow. And then come back and do quarantine and that's insane. And did you have to

obviously keep it a secret from friends and stuff as well? Yeah. So I think everyone thought I'd gone to rehab or something because I was like off my phone for six weeks. No one knew where could she be. I just said I had a social media detox.

So they were all like, this makes more sense when they heard about the show. Right. And was it insane filming that? Because, I mean, it's an incredible location. Was it insane getting away during the pandemic? Oh, it was amazing. And just like being where I was, I felt so blessed because obviously it was super hard to even get there. I had to get so many different flights and like 19 hour stopovers at each place. So when I was there, I just felt super lucky.

Yeah. Why did you leave? Because, you know, like there's people that get, you know, evicted and stuff, but you're the only person who left. Why did you leave? Because you know Like there's people that get You know evicted and stuff But you're the only person Who left Why did you leave? I actually like Left a little bit Later than it looks like

I left It was because Like it wasn't just because Me and Nathan entered things Which is a little bit What it looks like Yeah But I woke up the next day

And like the villa Was quite different Like there was only Three days left And there was like It was very couple-y And there was just like Nothing left for me to learn Like the focus was quite different. Like there was only three days left and there was like, it was very couple-y and there was just like nothing left for me to learn.

Like the focus was really on couples and I wanted to leave like having had a fun time and feeling positive. So I don't know, it just made sense to me. It just felt right. It kind of feels like

you got forced into a relationship a little bit with Nathan. Was there someone else on the show that you're like, oh, I wish I could have been with them? Probably Peter. You guys don't, but the problem was he's way too young for me. He's seven years younger than me.

But you guys don't see it, but he's actually like the sweetest guy. He's so gorgeous. He is cute. But we kind of just see like this player side of him, which when I watched back the show, I was like, um, I did not know Peter would like this. But yeah, I think if he was older, I would have been of him. When I watched back the show, I was like, I did not know Petey would like this. But yeah,

I think if he was older, I would have been on him. Age is just a number. What is it? Half your age plus seven. So he's just that. I don't know. How old's Mr. Toyboy?

No, I'm well in that range. Let's go back to you. Well, was there anyone on the show that you didn't like? No, I liked everyone. I just, yeah.

No, I got along with everyone. I might only be close with certain people now, but there's definitely no one that I didn't like. Did you ever think, shit, I'm in Europe, I'll just stay? Like, did you think I could, because you're a lawyer, you could work anywhere, right? Well, I was in the Caribbean. I was in Europe, I'll just stay? Like, did you think I could, because you're a lawyer, you could work anywhere, right? Is that? Well, I was in the Caribbean. I was in Turks and Caicos.

I don't think there's any law firms there. Oh, I bet there is. It sounds like a money laundering hotspot to me. I think we've got some really unethical work. Jump over to the Caymans. Oh, right. I thought it was filmed somewhere off the coast of Europe. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. Yeah, good stuff. And we're just

hanging up for the reunion episode. Were you, like, involved in that? We actually, there's, like, a kind of informal reunion show out at the moment on Netflix, Instagram Live, which we just did, like, a Zoom call. So, yeah, we all talk about, like, who's still together

and what we've been up to since the show. I would love if they could get us all back to that villa and we could have, like, a person reviewing them. That would be crazy. Yeah. Someone touch that. That would be worth another two weeks in quarantine just to get to the Caribbean.

Especially if Lana wasn't there. Yeah. No, well, thanks so much for joining us on the phone. Yeah, loved watching it. Larissa. Yay. Thank you. Larissa. Yay. Thank you. All right.

Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. Well, a study's been done. Now, this does, this is American, but I'm sure it would transfer to New Zealand. The average age of financial recklessness. What do you reckon the study's found? What age? You're saying daily

at any age. Yeah, I can't really pinpoint. Like maybe early 20s or like when you're studying maybe. But you've got it more together now than you did in your 20s. I've got a mortgage. Oh, yuck. You're like a grown up and adult. Yeah.

But I wouldn't say I'm... Put me in front of a. Yeah. But I wouldn't say I'm, yeah. Put me in front of a laptop or hit me with a sale and I'm there. I was online shopping at quarter to four this morning while I was on the toilet. What were you buying? I was like, oh my God, someone, there was a sale in my inbox. I was like, oh, what is it?

Okay, let me see. I didn't buy anything, but I did peruse. What kind of stuff? It was like kids clothes. It was like a 40%. I didn't buy anything. Yeah I did peruse. What kind of stuff? It was like kids' clothes. It was like a 40%. I didn't buy anything. Yeah, that's a low point. You're on the toilet.

I was prepared to buy. I wondered how this would go for you because you online shop a lot for yourself. Mr. Toyboy also likes the nicer things in life. He likes some shopping and stuff. And I wondered if your kid was going to be a kid rocking around in like track pants with holes in it while mum and dad were like designing clothes. No, I did wonder that too, whether I wouldn't like spending money on him, but

it's just transferred. I know. Yeah. I've seen he's always impeccably dressed. Thanks. And I'm thinking he's going to be one of those like really well-dressed kids. That's just another third of debt. Yeah. So, the average age Of peak financial recklessness

Is 22 Okay So that is the time that people surveyed Said that was the time they took the most risks But also I guess it's that age Where you leave uni or study And then you're not getting paid the most Because you're in an entry job

You might be an intern So you can get lines of credit or study, and then you're not getting paid the most because you're in an entry job. You might be an intern. You are not getting paid. Yeah. So you can get lines of credit. Actually, I was really bad then because I would buy stuff way out of my price range because I was at a new job and you wanted to look the part. It's the champagne lifestyle on the beer budget.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. That was me. No, I still just spent all my money on food then. And PlayStation games. Oh, I still just spent all my money on food then. And PlayStation games. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The average respondent said it was about 25 when they finally realised it was time to grow up

and take charge of their finances. 25? Some people that charge through 25 still with a cavalier attitude to finances. You can make it 45, Megan, if you want to go. Okay, yeah. ZDM Splash, morning, Megan. Yesterday at the gym, I finished my shows,

because that's my trick to trying to forget the fact I'm on a treadmill and stuff, because I watch Netflix shows and different shows, and you say I watch Loki. I've seen you at the gym with your big iPad watching shows. You go real hard. You're not one of those, like, average treadmill. Oh like average treadmill or like you know, you go hard out. You're there. Yeah, does it always look shaky? You might as well blow sweat

over everything. Yeah. I don't know. I think you just get used to watching. Focus your eyes. I'm like a pigeon, you know, my body's moving and my head somehow remains perfectly still. You're a gym pigeon. You're a gym pigeon. I'm a gym pigeon. Yeah.

So I did that and then I had some time up my sleeve and I was like, the weights, the dreaded weights part. I don't go into there too often, but I was like, I'll go in there. You're more of a cardio guy. I'm more of a cardio guy. So I was like, I can't take the iPad in there and watch it. That doesn't really work by then. So I propped it up on a shelf so the Bluetooth would reach.

Okay. And I was like, what am I going to listen to? Because usually I listen to a podcast. Yeah. You can't do weights and listen to a podcast. No, I always listen to podcasts if I'm going in there. But yesterday I was like, well, I'm not going to get a whole podcast in. Right But yesterday I was like, well, I'm not here to, I'm not going to get a whole podcast in.

Right. And I'm like, what am I going to listen to? And I was like, I know what I'll listen to. French-Canadian songstress and legendary performer, a favourite of everybody. Yeah. Celine Dion. What song?

I skipped, it was her top five on Spotify song? I skipped. It was her top five on Spotify, but I skipped the one from Titanic. You don't like that one, do you? I'm not a huge fan of that one, so I'll be able to tell you exactly. It's Celine Dion. It was Because You Loved Me. Oh, yeah. Okay, that's an absolute classic. Yeah, yeah, that's what I started on.

It's not really like pumping iron music, though. Isn't it? You listen, if you find that song, you listen to this and tell me that this isn't great music to pump iron to. The timing. Up. And down. And up. And down.

I love, like, you know. And it's just emotionally charged. You need that little push through. I don't like listening to it. I hate the music they play at gyms. It's the worst. I wish they would invent a device. Because you know you always see a tough guy walking down the street with earbuds on.

Yes, I know what you're going to say. And you're like, I wonder what he's listening to. And you're like, it must be something real manly. And then if you had this device, it would be like... Just imagine seeing Bearded Vaughn, Pumped and Iron at the gym, and he's like... You'd be like, you'd look at... You'd look at you and think,

he must be listening to a Nickelback Greatest Hits. You were my... Oh, yeah. You'd look like a Bogan rock listener. I'm biting. Oh, yeah. You look like a Bogan Rock listener. I do not. I look like a Celine Dion listener. As I'm gliding through the weights area. This just doesn't, like, fill me with energy.

You know what I mean? No, it's not like you need something with beats per minute. No, you don't. You absolutely don't because then you'll be rushing it and you'll hurt because you rushed it. Yeah. You'll hurt because you rushed it. Slow. You'll hurt because you rushed it. Slow and steady, baby.

Feel the burn on the up and the down. Yeah, right. And this song really kicks it like two-thirds of the way through. It really kicks it up a notch. Yeah, just in time for your second or third set. Yeah, so the actual song that I was listening to, I need another Celine Dion song. It's all coming back to me now.

Oh, that's got a bit of BPM. And that's got a real, that'll really get you. I've only got Meatloaf. It's all coming back. What? Is that what it's called? It's all coming back to me now. Celine Dion.

Search by artist. God, do I have to tell you how to do it? The sexy wheelbarrow strikes again. He has to tell everybody how to do his job, how to do their job. It's not like a Google search. This is a real arranged by artist. Yeah, and what's it called? It's called, it's all coming back to me now.

You put an apostrophe in. Oh, there's no apostrophe in the system. Oh, that's atrocious. I mean, if you searched by artist from the get-go, you would have found it. Yeah, I mean, I would have attacked it like that. What are you doing now? I'm putting it in to play it, aren't I? This song, by the way, is rock solid a jam.

Oh, I'm thinking it's a Friday flashback for me. No. After I work out. I'm going to fast forward it. So you're at the gym. Yeah. I'm listening to this. I'm doing bench press at the stage.

Look at this. Listen to this. How much are you benching, bruh? Not much at all. Well, I'm not surprised you're listening to Celine Dion. Not much at all. Okay. But then I'm kind of getting, I'm done,

and I hang up the old thingy, and I'm walking back to the shelf, and there's someone there kind of like standing there, and they're looking at the iPad. Yep. Because I've got the iPad open and up, and so it's showing. And they're like, is that your iPad? Yeah.

I was like, yeah, yeah. It's why? Is everything all right? And they're like, hey, listen, it's Celine Dion. I was like, yes, I am. They're like, huh, didn't have you pegged for a Celine Dion listener. Yeah, because you look like a Nickelback. I don't look like a Nickelback listener.

I don't look like a Nickelback listener. And they said, how did that go? I was like, you know what? Surprisingly well. Yeah, because you look like a Nickelback. I don't look like a Nickelback listener. I don't look like a Nickelback listener. And they said, how did that go? I was like, you know what, surprisingly well. Yeah, right.

And so this gentleman said, well, I might give it a go. And so now he's, Jimmy, he started his weights routine with a bit of Celine Dion. Did he look like a Nickelback listener too?

He didn't look like your typical Celine Dion listener. Yeah, okay. He looked more like he'd listen to Avicii. Well, I mean, that makes more sense. That's better gym music.

Yeah. He looks like it was all the gym effort was for a singlet. Like one of those stringy singlets that drops around and his nips

always falling out the side. Yeah, okay. It was his skipping leg day, brah. He's slamming long whites. Yeah, okay. That guy.

You've got a picture of what this guy now. So he doesn't look like a silly Indian listener, but yesterday. He's slamming long whites. Yeah, okay. That guy. You've got a picture of this guy now. So he doesn't look like a civilian to you. I'm listening to it yesterday. Well, look at you. There we go. The BPM's kicked up. Changing the norms.

Oh, my God. All right. Well, we're going to change tack next. It's Friday flashback, and I've got a song. Yeah, it'll be a dud compared to this. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Oh, my this. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Oh, my God. Oh, baby, baby, baby.

Friday Flashback. But it's my pick for Friday Flashback. The rules are it's got to be at least 10 years old, and this song is 10 years old. Came out 10 years ago. It's got to be a banger, and I believe, yes, this is a banger. It was number one in Scotland. Say no more.

Andy's messaged in. Yep. He said, it better be Celine Dion. It's all coming back to me or I'm out. Are you making up text messages from listeners? Oh, yeah. Well, Andy, you'll be disappointed, unfortunately. Well, Andy doesn't control the show.

Hang in there, Andy, because we're on two weeks break. And then at the end of the week back, I guarantee you, I promise you'll be disappointed, unfortunately. Well, Andy doesn't control the show. Hang in there, Andy, because we're on two weeks break, and then at the end of the week back, I guarantee you, I promise you, nay, I will deliver to you by hand a Celine Dion. No, Celine's not enough of a banger. Says you. So this song, number one in Scotland, actually, was number six in New Zealand. The artist has some help with the song,

but the artist once dated Taylor Swift, once posed for Armani underwear. You know who it is now, right? Yeah. Hot. Today's Friday flashback. Calvin Harris with Khalees and Bounce. On to them. Bounce.

Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. I can't believe it every day and every night. It's getting better with you out of my life. It's like a flick to switch and now I'm feeling good. No way of stopping now now you wish that you could When the weekend comes I know I'll feel alive You will be the last thing on my mind

Came out ten years ago at today's Friday Flashback. Just quickly, if you'd like to play, I bet I can guess your mum's name. 0800 dial ZM right now. Feedback from Friday Flashback. Surely this is an absolute wave of positivity.

This reminds me of average clubbing at the Cook in Dunedin. Rude. Hard pass. Fletch failed. Celine would have been much better than that. Celine would have been a great choice. Fletch, you failed by not doing Celine. So this is...

Hang in there, New Zealand. Hang in there. I know someone said this is finally a true banger. Who picked this? Go to the head of the class. Thank you. That's actually from your number, though, so I don't know if that counts.

I just felt we needed some positivity in there. Someone said, I can't wait for the sexy wheelbarrow to take control of Friday flashback and save us all. And that's from your number. Stop referring to yourself as the sexy wheelbarrow. You've even changed your name in our group chat to sexy wheelbarrow.

No, Jared changed it because I'm raising wolves out there and he respects the alpha of the group. If you missed it yesterday, the sexy wheelbarrow, because I'm the wheel of the wheelbarrow and you two are those two useless legs on the show. When we're stopped, when we're not moving anywhere, you're needed for balance. But, you know, when we're on the go, it's all on the wheel.

If you're the wheel, the rim's falling off and the tyre's flat. The tyre could do with a bit of pressure. The tyre just needs a little bit of a pump. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Well, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Vaughn will ask a listener five questions about their mum and then have 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. Vaughn will ask a listener five questions about their mum and then have 15 seconds to guess their mum's name. And joining us this morning is Taylor.

Good morning, Taylor. Good morning. All right, so Vaughn... She sounds smug, doesn't she? She sounds like she's ready to get one over the sexy whale barrow. Now, Taylor, we're going to ask five questions about your mum. And if Vaughn can guess her name, $100 cash. And you've only got like two wrong this whole year.

Right. Okay. Now, this isn't one of the questions, but you sound like one of our younger callers for I bet I can guess your mum's name. Yeah, I'm 14. 14. Okay, so that's a clue.

Yeah, that's a clue. You got a freebie. Because the mum's name could be not your typical like older mum's name. It could be a younger mum. Okay. I said it wasn't one of my questions. Okay. Well, no more freebies. But I could have a 14-year-old. Do you know what I'm saying?

I've got a 9-year-old. Holy. There's been a bit of that lately. Okay, so I'm thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, all right, all right, all right. So you might have to tilt younger today. All right, tilt. With your guesses. What do you mean? No, I liked it.

It was, yep. What's your mum's middle name? Question one. What's your mum's middle name? Question one. What's your mum's middle name? Michelle. Is that cheating, that question? Why? No, because it's like asking the sibling's name.

See, I guess so. It gives a good sense of what her other names could be. But you're getting... Now you're looking for something that kind of goes with Michelle. Mm. Like Sarah Michelle Gellar Yeah that's good I'm going to put that down That and the fact that Every second girl

I went to school with Was called Sarah Yeah okay Brian was a massive Okay What's your mum's Like if she's going to Bake a treat

What does she bake? Banana cake. Now, does she go lemon or chocolate icing? Lemon. Yes, good woman. Good. Your mum is a good human. If you'd said chocolate, I would have cancelled your mum.

Does she cook it in the microwave? No, she cooks it in the oven. Okay, good. Because there was this weird turn of events about the late 90s where everyone started putting cakes in the microwave. Christine still does it. Don't get me wrong, it leads to a very moist carrot cake. Does it?

Far moister than you'd imagine. Okay. Huh. Okay. Natalie. Yep. All right. A lot of Natalies in the 90s.

What's your mum's coffee order? Is she coffee or tea, or what is she getting? She's getting a hot drink. She likes lattes. Oh, okay. Is that a younger mum drink, or is that an older mum drink? That's an older mum's drink, isn't it? Yes, and maybe you need to go back older.

That's what I hadn't... Yeah, no, I've got a feeling she's going to be a younger... I'm on the younger side of things. How did your mum and dad meet? What's the story there? What's their origin story? Well, they actually met while they were drinking. Everybody meets while they're drinking.

Spoiler alert. That's how you and your wife met at the outback. 100%. But was it like at a bar or at a party or through mutual friends or? They were at a party together. Okay. Now you're just putting down people's names that you've met at parties for? This is how this works, isn't it?

You're not going to get this one. The party animals. You reckon it's thrown them. Yeah. I think you are lost. Laugh it up, Chattels! Now, if you're 14, I'm imagining at this time of the day, you're like with your mum.

Yeah. Are you on the way to school? Yeah. You're not allowed to talk to the mum. I just want to hear the mum's voice. Yeah. Hi, guys. Hi, mum.

Keep talking, mum. What have you got planned for the day after you drop Taylor off at school? Well, I'm actually going to work. Okay. No more free questions for you, Gordon Smith. No, no, no. I was just going to ask you what she does for work or anything. Okay.

Okay. She doesn't sound like an old mum. How many questions is that? Is that all of them? That's all of them. You talk to mum for a couple of minutes. I'm definitely short on my list. Okay. She doesn't sound like an old mum. How many questions is that? Is that all of them? That's all of them. You talk to mum for a couple of minutes, I'm definitely short on my list. Okay.

Oh, no, I don't want to ask that. No, because I'm just going to ask questions, but it'll give stuff away. Yeah. I honestly think you're going to be stumped, sweetheart. All right. Well, Vaughan Smith, you now have 15 seconds to guess Taylor's mum's name.

Wait. Give me 10 more seconds of names. Listen to you evilly laughing. I love it. I'm going to go Julie and a Julia because I don't want to get tripped up on the vowels. I might go Julio as well, although that's pronounced Julio. That's also a male's name. Okay.

Says you. Now I'm just doing different versions of the names I've already got. Okay, well, you now have 15 seconds to guess Taylor's mum's name. Taylor, if you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughan, your time starts now. Emma, Louise, Jennifer, Sarah, Sarah, Laura, Natalie, Kylie, Renee, Hayley, Jennifer, Rachel, Katie, Claire, Sian, Amber, Vanessa, Julia, Emily.

What? Sorry, what? What? Are you kidding me? Your phone just cut out, Taylor. Did he say your mum's name? Yeah. Which one?

Sian. Sian. Sian. How did you get Sian? Yep. Which one? Sean. Sean. How did you get Sean? I went to school with a Sean. She was my age and her family owned the bakery. They were connected to the bakery. And her brother owns a bakery in Hamilton now. And they do microwave banana cake.

They don't do microwave banana cake. How did you guess Sean? No, I just wrote down people I went to school with. I'm going to be really interested to see actually how old her mum is. How old is mum, Taylor? From 36. Okay, yeah. 36 in the area there.

Oh, my God. Okay, Sian. How did you get there? That's a shout out to Sian Simmons. Bonus round. By the way, free this. Have a go at guessing your dad's name. Got the bloody wheelbarrows wonky at the moment, isn't it?

Is he? How did you get that? No, I told you it's because the baking and then the bakery and I was thinking about people and then the banana cake got me thinking about that. And it's a real insight into how your mind is scattered. Taylor,

now there is a bonus round. I didn't even get to the end of my list. I had all the other girls I went to school with to get through. You have $100 locked in, Taylor,

No, Steve wouldn't have ever been on my radar. Hey, Taylor, well done. $100 cash is all yours. Amazing. Thank you, guys. All Taylor, well done. $100 cash is all yours.

Amazing. Thank you, guys. All right, well done. And your mum's here as well. I bet she's stoked. Have a nice day, Sian. Thank you. Sian Michelle.

I hadn't thought about that. I remember learning a bit of Sian Michelle. That sounds French and flash, doesn't it? It does. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. This morning, before the show, something transpired. Something transpired that I could have told you was going to happen because I've got long-running beef with this particular individual.

Executive Intern, can you please come into the studio? Please enter the studio. There was an incident this morning with a famous New Zealand broadcaster, a much-loved New Zealand broadcaster, a much loved New Zealand broadcaster, Tony Street, who Vaughan has a long running beef with. Daughter of the nation. No one ever believes me that she's

a cold hard killer. No one ever believes it. Executive intern Anya, what happened this morning when you arrived to work, you parked your car in the basement. What happened? I want to die. I know. Now did we check, Tony Street joins car in the basement. What happened? I want to die. I know. Now, did we check, Tony Street joins us in the studio, did we check you for weapons on the way in?

Because you have been known to pack a switchblade. Yeah, well, this is the first time ever I've been accosted like this and I'm quite frankly shook. She's backed into a corner, guys, and this is where an animal like Stretty is at her most dangerous. Are you aware, first of all, the reason we summonsed you to the studio? Oh, I've just been filled in by one of your producers

and I thought Anna was one of the nice people in the office and it turns out she's a sellout. Yeah, so... Anna, explain what happened this morning. I could read the group chat. Oh, wow. Just read it out, yeah. Oh, on the chat? It's in print? Yeah. To the group chat. Just read it out. On the chat?

It's in print? Yeah. To the group chat. There's a real paper trail. Oh, where is it? How long ago? God, we've talked a lot since this morning. This came in at 5.21 a.m.

Anna, when you're two meters away from the lift and Tony streets's inside it frantically pressing the close button 40 times I feel like I need to defend myself here Can I have a right

of reply to that message since I wasn't CC'd in You're on it You're on it Street doth approach the bench Okay

So it's 5am or 5.21 to be specific It just really called me out at my late arrival. So you're in the car park. It's a bit creepy down there. There's not many people there. I've just been away all week, feeling a bit tired, a bit jaded.

And I'm at the lift and I can feel someone coming. It feels like about 100 metres away. Yoo-hoo! I'm thinking, stalker! And I'm thinking, do I wait? She does have the footprint of a stalker and I'm thinking do I She does have the footprint of a stalker real Bit of a stomp

Do I wait for this person but I was a little worried, I was only thinking of Anna because I thought if I pop around the bollard right now, she's going to get freaked out at 5am, so I'm thinking I don't want to scare her, I'll do the nice thing because you know, Megan I've opened the lift for you many times to be fair

she likes me better than you clearly and I thought no I'm not going to do that to whoever this person is I didn't know it was Anna I thought I'm not going to scare them I'll just get in the lift and leave them to their 5am process on a Friday now that's I would say then how would you defend the fact that as the lift started moving and going up

you yelled I don't share the lift with producer scum. And then said, take the stairs, lifts are for superstars. We've actually got on security. We've got on security camera. What I will say is I did push it about four times because I have a real aversion to lifts. I get claustrophobic. Right. So I ain't waiting for no one.

I just need to get up and get out of that thing. Get up and out. Also, lift conversation at that early in the morning. Like, I haven't spoken to anyone. And sometimes you're like, hey. It's so awkward. I was doing, I thought, Anna a service. Is Anna always like this?

Is she always like, tattletale? Yeah, yeah. She's a nut. Oh, my God. Kick a she always like tattletale? Yeah, yeah. She's a nut. Oh my God, kick a dog while it's down. Snitches get stitches. Wow. Wow.

I feel sorry for you three having a producer that, you know, doesn't have your back. So you hear it's coming out now, aren't you, right? Yeah, yeah. It's coming out.

You're starting to see it. You're starting to see the real side of Tony Street. Yeah. Streetie. Kelly, you've made a powerful enemy today. A powerful enemy. Well, any final words?

Before you get shivved on the way out? Yeah. I'd like brainstormed possible topics we could talk about from my car to the lift. Oh, so now you're saying I'm incapable of banter. It's my job. No, I thought I needed to come in with a hot opening line. And you closed the lift on her.

What's your hot topic? Up to much this weekend. That is hot. I would have responded had you given me the chance, Anna. As the doors were closing, though. None of your business, you producer. Thank you, Tony Street. Have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks, guys. Anna, see you in the lift next time. Watch out. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Fact of the day, day the world's longest conveyor belt Is it at an airport? No That was going to be my guess

Or a factory? No Well, it's kind of. A mine. Yes. Oh, you got it. What are they mining? Gold.

Coal. No. Salt. Diamonds. No. What did you say? Salt. Closest so far.

God, I'm good at this game. Some kind of mineral. Pepper. How do you think pepper is? Mixed herbs. Mixed herbs. Tuscan spice. Paprika.

What's close to salt? Wait, I'm not done. What's another mineral? Iron. It makes up 1% of our body. Water. It's a mineral. What are you talking about?

You'd be a raisin. You'd be less than a raisin. You'd be dust. Magnesium. Sulfur. No. Sulfur. No. Sulfur. No.

What are you mining? Sulfur. No. P on the periodic table of elements. I think it's about number 14. Pepper. You were right. We have 1% pepper in us.

Hydrogen, helium, pepper, salt, phosphorus. What's in a banana? Phosphorus. He's got it. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Wait, I've got a sound effect. Oh. phosphorus. What's in that banana? Phosphorus! Ding, ding, ding, ding! Wait, I've got a sound effect. No! Do it again.

Oh, no, that's the wrong one. That sound effect sucks! That was horrible. Let's get a new... Can we get a new dinger? I don't like that. I don't want a dinger. Delete them all.

Delete all of them. We can just say yes or no, and then we'll know for sure. So this is a super long convey-about system in the western Sahara. Okay. I listened to, I won't lie to you, I listened to like a good 45 minute podcast about this convey-about. Of course you did.

And just kind of like about western Sahara. Wow, I googled it. Have you seen the picture from space? Oh no. Yeah, it's real cool because it's phosphorus. So while it's on the conveyor belt and the wind always blows from the north and all of this white stuff south of it is phosphorus that's just blowing off the conveyor belt. How long is the conveyor belt?

The conveyor belt from, they always say it in miles. Now, I'm a kilometres man myself, so I'll. It's like 1,400. It's the equivalent, the convey about system is the equivalent of a convey about running from New York to Texas. Wow. Make it in New Zealand the length of the country or to be longer. Easy. Easy the length of New Zealand.

Oh my God. Easily the length of New Zealand. Is it frustrating when they're putting the phosphorus on at one end and the checkout check at the other end hasn't put the thing on? Yeah, it just keeps running. And then you're paying for somebody else's phosphorus. And then you're like, no, no, no, I can take that off. You're like, I want to put some more groceries on quick. So this phosphate rock is like millions and millions and millions of years old.

Basically, it used to be in the sea and it's like compressed animals and shells and everything. And it boils down to phosphorus, which is, of course, like an agricultural fertilizer. And it's super valuable. Unfortunately, the people of the Western Sahara have never really profited off it. The Spanish initially set it up. And then when everybody just walked away from Africa after the mess they made, the colonializing, Morocco were just like, we'll have that. And the people of the Western Sahara were like, no, you won't. Morocco were just like, we'll have that.

And the people of the Western Sahara were like, no, you won't. And they were like, yes, we will. Was it not cheaper to get a train? No. Or is it too sandy? No, just to have it built. Yeah, well, there's the engineering, the building of it. But they were literally like, well, train,

you have to reinforce everything. If we just run a conveyor belt, the amount of weight at any given point of the conveyor belt is next to nothing. Yeah, right. And it'll just crank along. So it goes convey-about and then it'll drop onto another convey-about and they absolutely don't seem too fussed about how much they're losing. Yeah, right.

Because I watched a video of it as well. By the way, every single part of me wanted to sit in a box at one end and ride it to the other end. Oh, yeah, that's so fun. Yes, it's like the airport. You can't do that there either. No, that's very funny about that. Once you go through the little flaps,

you may as well go to court as a terrorist. Yeah. So you go behind the scenes of an airport. So when it's absolutely cranking for an hour, it can transport 2,000 metric tonnes of phosphate rock. I'm going to need to YouTube this. How fast does it go? I don't know. It changes

speed depending on how much they've got because if they're loading it down with heavy rocks, I think they have to slow it down a little bit. And it's been a thing in the area if, like there's been when the Spanish were in charge, for example, and people wanted the Spanish people gone, they'd just burn down a section of the conveyor belt. I was going to say

how do they know if a part's broken? It was absolutely an absolute nightmare. So you guys should definitely have a Google of this because you can see it from like satellites and stuff. We've got amazing photos of this insanely long definitive line. So today's fact of the day is the world's longest conveyor belt is in the Western Sahara and it transports fertilizer. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. I remember you saying this, Vaughan. Well, I watched it. For some reason, it popped up in my Facebook feed. You gave somebody some advice just days ago. Uh-huh. I said, do you know Monstera is when they shoot out those little roots? I've got one of these, and I nearly did the same advice.

This is houseplant Monstera. It shoots out those little roots. I said, pop those in a little glass of water, or a little receptacle, shot glass, or a little jar, and that will lead to new pups, which are like leaves and branches and stuff. You saw something on Facebook, but you didn't try it yourself and you passed it on as fact? Yes, I did.

So, Carwen. That's why I'm also anti-vaxxer. Carwen, at the social media desk, you've got a Montserrat with one of these rooty offshoots The air roots Because I normally cut them off Yeah I cut them off too Yeah so mine's grown quite a few

And over the time Repotting and everything I've cut them off But there's one That's quite big right now The lady in the video said When they're in the jungle This is the way they search

For a new water source Should their current water source dry out and so then it can be like open up tap two let's get that flowing into the Monstera and then she actually had like she put it in the water and then she had a time lapse and it sprouted new pups.

Right well Carwen did just this Vaughn. Except mine hasn't sprouted new leaves one of the leaves is going yellow. So it's dying. Hell. And it turns out on further investigation, aerial roots

do not need to be put into water. The plant uses them to climb and cling to trees and whatnot in the wild. If you put them in water, they're probably going to start developing actual roots. However, it's also just as likely that they will go brown and mushy. Yeah. Okay.

So don't do that. Not every time. But there's something else you can put into water. There are different roots. There's different roots, but they're like the roots that should be in water or should have formed under soil anyway. Right. Okay. So is there anything you'd like to apologise to Carwen for?

What you've seen here, Carwen, is a good life lesson, okay? You should actually be thanking me for doing your own investigation before believing a perfect stranger in the street. You're not a stranger in the street. You're a work colleague. You're a trusted. You have a fun lit I literally

Who watched the video with me There was a time lapse And then it went Did you have to cut the end off No Well I didn't cut the end Cut a bit off So the water could get in maybe

Maybe your dying leaf Is another problem Yeah maybe this is your fault My plant In fact No no It is your fault No In fact, no, no. It is your fault. No, I have quite a few houseplants

and they are all thriving. This is the first issue and it is your fault. And it's Vaughan's fault. Right. Okay. This is classic Gen Z. It's always somebody else's fault.

Classic boomers sharing information on Facebook that's not gospel. And then making it everybody else's problem, but they're right. Play ZM's Fleshphone and Megan. TikTok is the world's seventh most used social network. 699 million global

active users is at the start of this year. So they have started to allow, they're actually creating a new thing called TikTok resumes. So it is going to let people upload videos to apply for roles. There are

some businesses that are on board already. WWE, Target, Shopify are just some of the big ones. I guess if you were going into retail or something, at least you'd know if someone was fronting a video or doing a stupid dance that they've got, like, they're personable, right?

Yeah, and creative. And creative, yeah. Is it for working in their social media? Because if it's the biggest social media, you want to know the person has got a grasp of the most popular social media. It might just be working the checkout. No, it's not specifically for social media.

It's just for general recruitment. Because it doesn't, they can do whatever they want related to the job to apply. The video can be whatever they want. Oh, right. To show their skills. It's literally just TikTok resumes. Yeah, that's how we've got it down to with our attention span. Like that's where we've got to.

But a CV should be a page. Yeah, that's the generally agreed upon length of a CV. Because I used to list all my like high school achievements. Oh, really? I went up to like 16 pages in my CV back in the day. My first CV when I was trying to get a job right at the end of high school, it was a bit of a joke,

but also I thought they needed to be thick. I put in a certificate I got for calf club at primary. I put in that I did like- You got the job calf club at primary. I put in that I did like- You got the job, though. Suck it! I put in that I did road patrol at Intermedia. I was in charge of the road patrol. Didn't everyone have to do road patrol?

It wasn't like a- No, it was a select few. Yeah, and it was the kids that- The kids that what? That showed leadership. I was controlling traffic. I could make trucks. Did you have the whistle? Yeah, I had the whistle.

I was on the whistle side. I don't know if you should have had the whistle. You were like.
