Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to McCafe for great tasting barista made coffee. On the go, and that's another week down, another week closer to Christmas. How many people do you reckon will be doing Christmas shopping this weekend? Because you mentioned earlier this week you haven't even started. Fuck all. I know. Surely.

I'm weddinging all weekend too. Nobody's started already. Yeah, but the absolute minority. We've done our Secret Santa assignment. Allocation. Yeah, so we know who to get for. Yeah. We should actually do that in my family.

There's only four of us. Oh, and a couple of nieces. Yeah, that'd be perfect. I love at Christmas you forgot about the children. The very thing kids look forward to all year. And you're like, yeah, my family, there's only four. Oh, Uncle Fletch, did you bring us anything for Christmas? Christmas.

Get away. Back up. Normally just a couple of instant kiwis go down well. Do they? For the children. Do they play with you or do they know, like I did with my granddad, you just stay away from him? Oh, my God, I had to read a book last Christmas.

What's that one where my bum fell off? That one. Oh, yeah, I need a new bum. God, and I got so over it. I was wanting more and more. I was like, we'll just take a wee break here. I can't believe I. I wanted more and more. I was like, we'll just take a wee break here. I can't believe I would love to have seen that. Yeah.

It's so awkward. I'm not very good at it. You're bummed because you've got a crack at the back. Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. Yep. I can tell you. We'll just skip right to the end.

And they read so slow, don't they? It wasn't broken after all. It was just a crack. Do the voices, Uncle Fletch. Ah wasn't broken after all. It was just a crack. Do the voices, Uncle Fletch. Ah, for fuck's sake. Isn't there a fucking audio book of this? Hold on,

we'll find it on YouTube and you can all fuck off. Can't you just run around outside? Your uncle's trying to drink to numb the pain

of Christmas. Oh my God. Wow. Yeah, wow. No guys, jokes. At the start of this you're like, I'm way closer to Christmas. Like I said, you really enjoy. I know.

Then I forgot that I won't be able to go away this Christmas and I'm stuck at home. Cool. Anyway. Cool, cool. Maybe I'll get a Christmas tree this year. Have you not got one? No, because you know, every year I'm away, so I don't bother. Yeah, get a big, tiny one.

A big, tiny one. I've got a spear. Do you want my spear Christmas tree? Um, what have you got? You've got a fake one. The other one's only little, but you've only got an apartment,

so you can have my spear Christmas tree. But then I've got the cat as well. That's going to come into play. I'm crashing down. Yeah. ZM. Hit music. Live the air.

Fletchforn and Megan. The podcast. Play. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Play. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Vaughan, I believe it's your mic. Hello, Test. Yes. Okay. Megan. Brilliant. Now, Megan's on a long cord because she's pregnant and can't be exposed to toxic fumes. Because if you've just joined us, we had a studio fire earlier this morning.

And we have just dealt with the Tauranga Fire Department, the service rather. Lovely. From the Gretton station. Lovely. It might have been a little bit of an overkill, calling 111. Yeah, but no, you're best to be safe. And I've just eaten a pie to relieve my stress. I believe we don't have Megan.

Oh, that's not working. Oh, what about now? Do we have Megan now? Give us a little... Hello. Yeah, I see what happened. There we go. We're actually doing this blind.

You didn't put the button up? Oh, no, sorry. I should say deaf. Yeah, because we can't hear go. We're actually doing this blind. You didn't put the button up? Oh, no, sorry. I should say deaf. Deaf. Yeah, because we can't hear anything. We're just talking. Usually we've got headphones on and we can hear everything that's happening in our own headphones, but not today. Turns out that's what caught fire.

The headphone thingy. Yeah. The monitor. But we're underway. We're back in the studio and I believe we're good to go now. Megan, you're all good? Yeah, I'm all good. This is one of the most bizarre shows we've ever done, but we're here.

Now, how did you like starting the day with the fire department? Oh, there was one that was really nice at the end, eh? Giving us the debrief. He was really pleasant. I think that's part of the... Information is sexy, is what she's saying. Yeah, the complimentary service is the debrief. Yeah.

After your house burns down. Now, that was a good fire, that one. Yeah. That burnt quick. You have lost all your belongings. And it was all through a fan heater that you shouldn't have had going so close to the curtains. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. A study has found the top traits that make up a good friend.

So let's start with us. Oh, they can't be too hot. What? What makes you a good friend? You just said, I can't be too hot. They can't a good friend? You just said, I can't be too hot. They can't be too hot. Why? Because then you're just attracted to them.

Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, you don't want that sexual tension ruining your friendship. Thankfully, you blew out in your 30s. Oh, my God. Wow. Wow. If it was true, I wouldn't have said it. So you know I'm just joking.

Yeah, thanks. You're ageing gracefully. I don't know what your secret is. Perhaps nothing outside of this place to worry about. How come Fletch isn't ageing? Well, what does he have to worry about? He's got scheduling. He's got to schedule all those appointments.

I do have a lot of scheduling problems. Appointments, making sure that they don't overlap. Yeah. You got too many clients if you're having a booking issue. You know what I'm saying? No, I just have a busy day, you know. I've got to fit in the gym and cat time and Netflix.

Okay, this isn't about me. You're scheduling what most people do to relax, by the way. Well, you've got to be planned. So the top traits that make up a good friend are revealed. They give presents. No, that's not one of them. Not hotness. Any other guesses?

What about when you said presents, I thought you meant like their presents. Like they're there for you, right? Like in your time of need, they're a present being. Like caring. Do you mean that? Caring? Is that what you call it? Caring?

The number one thing that people want in a friend as the top trait is loyalty. What does that mean though, like for a friend? Well, coming in second at 66% was trustworthy, which I would have thought is kind of the same thing, right? Like loyalty is being trusted? Trust is certainly an aspect of loyalty, right? Yeah. That you're loyal to them, that you can trust them, are very similar traits.

Yeah. So in at the third place was kindness. Oh, yeah. That's kind of a given. You want your friends to be kind. If your friends aren't roasting you, do they really love you? That's a good New Zealand, that's a really good new zealand point you've got there but your friends should also know when the roasting needs to like where the line for the roasting is yeah yeah a

caring roasting because it's just like an actual roast you don't want to burn the roast exactly you don't want to burn your loyal caring kind friendship sometimes you've got to turn the heat up because you want a bit of crackle but you've got to know when you might dry it out or burn it. Yeah. Yeah. And lots of gravy, lots of moisture during the cooking. Yeah. I don't know.

Now I'm actually just talking about roasting. So spray your friends with water quite a bit to keep them hydrated. Yep. And succulent. Season well. Season well. Season very well. So what are you doing?

Just putting some rosemary on you. Stay still. I'm wrapping you in rosemary. Rosemary. What was that? I don't know. I think I wanted to sound flasher. Rosemary.

Rosemary. Stay still, darling. I'm just wrapping you in rosemary. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast. ZM. ZM's famous epic mates with Lisa's Marmite Hummus. All right, now, if you are just joining us this morning, we're in Tauranga. We had our bangers bingo last night at the Carlton.

What is AI? Artificial Intelligence has analysed a whole bunch of couples and they have found out what makes relationships work it's from lots tons of different countries

including New Zealand Have you seen AI analysis of things? Like they'll watch A series of movies And then They'll let the AI Write the next in the series

Like Horrendous Yeah But like terrifying What it picks up on We're letting them Away with too much I know

We're giving them Like before we know it They'll be our overlords Our masters And they'll be Giving them guns And it'll be like a Terminator movie.

If anyone has just tuned in and we're talking about AI this is not Fletch on Foreigners that sounds like you just gone you sounded like you'd gone full

off right there. No! They're our overlords! We can't give them guns! They're gonna take over! They took my germ! But this sounds like something they shouldn't

be able to do. Like analyse what makes a good relationship. It's pretty crazy when you read these AI articles. So, yeah, they've studied almost 12,000 couples from a bunch of countries, including New Zealand. So how did they do this? Did they put the couples into a machine and then was it like... Exactly how they did it.

Or maybe their interactions where they've let them have access to their messages to each other. Oh, maybe, yeah. Or put in things like age and all that kind of thing. Yeah. Okay. So a lot of people think that... I mean, we all think it's the person you choose. So it's the individual.

I love the individual. I love their traits and everything. And together we make a great couple. Well, apparently it's less about the person you choose, their individual personality, and more about the relationship that you build together. So it's the dynamic, the fact that you build shared normality, you have in-jokes, you have shared experiences,

and you build that life and relationship together. It's more about what you do together than it is about the individuals. I've heard something similar to that. I talked to someone who was in an arranged marriage. They didn't know this person before they got married. They got married at like 18. It was just what was expected of them from their family and their culture. And they were in their late 30s now.

And they were saying, and I kind of get it, they didn't do much before they got married because their families were so conservative. Yeah. So when they were experiencing all these firsts, it was with a person who was also experiencing their firsts, and they had all this bridged experience. Like they don't remember going overseas with anybody else

or what it was like going single because they never did it. They only were with their partner. So it was this exciting new adventure, and that person was there for all this exciting new stuff. But what if that other person's a dick? Well, I mean, it helped that they weren't a dick. Yeah. They seem to be, yeah.

I watched Indian Matchmaking on Netflix. It's a reality show. I mean, it's fascinating. Because I was always like, oh, arranged marriages, that must be so hard. It makes more sense when you watch the show. I mean, it's fascinating. Because I was always like, arranged marriages, that must be so hard. It makes more sense when you watch the show. You're like, it's kind of like, they still go

date, they still have dates, and they can still say no. And you know, Western culture was like, really big on arranged marriages, and still are in some areas where like, wealth is expected to marry wealth. So you get to pick from possible suitors of the same class, but it's just

kind of not as big a deal anymore. So it doesn't happen. But that was only like 80 years ago that most people were expected to marry someone that their parents approved of and kind of like picked out for them. I guess as long as your fundamental morals are similar, it's more about the relationship and the

experience you have together. Yeah. And if they're hot and the experiences you have together. Yeah. And if they're hot and not a dick. Yeah. That certainly helps. Very important. But that's what AI analyzed over all of these. Wow, that's fascinating.

The robots. The robots decided after looking at our relationships. Wow. So there's hope for Fletch yet. If the robots can work it out, maybe you can too. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. I was joined in studio by producer Jared. He was just telling us of an incident. Should we call it the incident?

Yeah, which we thought, well, we must share this. We simply must. And what an absolute start to hear from people with stories of their own of this type. You were home alone yesterday. Let me set the scene. You're home alone.

Scene set. Yes, I was home alone. I already set that scene, Jerry. The scene's been double set now. You're double setting. So as I was saying, I was home alone yesterday. Is this PG, this story? Yeah, it's very PG.

So you guys don't know this, but when I go home, I have like a general little sing sesh. A sing sesh? A little sesh on the sing. Every day? Most days, yeah. Are you a theatre kid? I used to be, yeah.

Oh, my God. Wow. I never knew that about you. I never knew that about you. I actually, I went to school with someone who was in the Book of Mormon, but we don't need it. Oh, wow. Why did you not end up in Book of Mormon? Oh, I went to school with someone who was in the Book of Mormon, but we don't need it. Oh, wow. Why did you not end up in Book of Mormon?

Oh, I just wasn't good enough. Oh, yeah. Okay. What role did you play at school? The most notable was Peter in Jesus Christ Superstar. Okay. I don't know that. I was going to say, you did Book of Mormon at high school?

That is not legit. Hello. My name is Peter. Okay. So you're having a sing session home,. Hello, my name is Peter. Okay, so you're having a sing session home, reliving the glory days of Peter. Yep, exactly. So I was out and about in the house, had my headphones on, having a right little groove, and then nature called

and I had to go to the bathroom. But I didn't take the headphones off. I did my business and I carried on singing while on the toilet. What were you singing? Like what specifically? What song? Bit of a throwback.

Now You're Gone by Bass Hunter. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. When you said everything, I was imagining a song that like was. Wow. Like a singing song, not just like some doof doof song. Yeah. Like that was, wow. That was something. I'm just going to pull me up some bass under.

Let's pull that up because that is, what a track that is. Now you're gone. I realise my love for you was wrong. Can you just give us some, please? It's early, it's really early in the morning. I haven't warmed up. You've had theatre training. With the pictures hanging on the wall.

Yeah, I want you to join in. Now you're gone. I realise my love for you was strong. He's actually pretty good. That's not bad. That's not bad. Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.

That's why we're working on the radio. It was just like we had bass on from the studio. So wait, you were in the toilet, number one or twos? Number twos. Oh, number twos. And you're like, now you're... And you flush it and the deliverance are just like so poignant. It was a magical moment.

Right, okay. So I finished up, washed my hands for about 20, 30 seconds. Thank you. Thank you. Went back upstairs and I see my flatmate sitting there and he's like, bit of bass on track. So good. So good.

I was mortified. Earlier when we set the scene thrice, you were home alone, you weren't home alone any of that time. I was, but it was a lengthy bathroom session. Right, so he arrives home, he hasn't seen you singing bass hunter in the house, just arrives to you shitting.

Now you're gone. That is not a toilet song. No. No, but it was what was playing. I was going through like a Bass Hunter playlist. This is Bass Hunter.

Oh, really? There's a playlist? What are you talking about? There is a playlist. There is a playlist. This is Bass Hunter. Really? There's a playlist? What are you talking about? There is a playlist. This is Bass Hunter. 14,000 people follow that? I'm one of them. And Jared's one of them. Wow.

Does he have any other songs? Yeah, he had one other one, didn't he? Yeah, this one. This dude is, I would say, the wackiest person we've ever met. He was friendly, but... Very friendly. Kooky. Very kooky.

Like a dog that sniffs around your privates friendly. Like, okay, you're a bit friendly. Like, that's what you say. You're a bit friendly. For the record, Bass Hunter didn't sniff around our pants. Snuffed around my pants? Snuffed around them? Snuffed around...

No, he didn't. Right. Now, obviously, if you'd known, you would have shut the door. Oh, the door was shut, but I was belting it. Okay, well. Right.

So we thought on the back of this hilarious story of Jared singing Bass Hunter, producer Jared singing Bass Hunter, thinking he was home alone, we wanted to take some calls, maybe make you feel better, Jared. Oh, yep, appreciate it. Of those times when you thought he was home alone. We wanted to take some calls, maybe make you feel better, Jared. Oh, yep, appreciate it. Of those times when you thought you were home alone and maybe you'd gone up to something.

And then you find out, oh, someone's back home from work early. Or mum and dad are back early. Now, there may need to be some self-censorship of these calls when you call in. Okay. I feel like some of the messages we're already receiving.

Good. Brilliant. I can't wait. All right. 0800 dial ZM is the number. You can text 9696. When did you think

you were home alone? Producer Jared told us he thought he was home alone. Now you're gone. Cranking a bit of The Hunter. So in his noise-cancelling headphones. Went to number twos.

Kept the singing going. Washed hands. Continued to sing bass under all this time. Then arrives back upstairs to find a flatmate, a home, and enjoying the show. There are some funny calls and texts coming through. We want to know when you thought you were home alone,

but you weren't. What were you up to? I'll leave names out of it. Oh, Vaughn's face. I was trying on my mum's bra and she walked in. I was 12. So like,

a curious age. That's, yeah, curious. Male, but that's just, that's a very curious age. I wonder if that got brought up at the 21st. I would hope so. I don't know. Who knows?

Frankie, when did you think you were home alone? It's a little bit of an awkward one, this one. So me and my flatmate, we had a wee bit of a thing going on, and we'd been hiding it from the rest of the flat. So one night, one day actually, we thought we were home alone and we were having a good time

just getting down and doing what we needed to do but we actually found out one of our flatmates was there on a silent work call and was in his room and had to come through and tell us to be quiet. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Wow.

See, this is what COVID's done to us, working from home. We had to sleep with our flatmates. I had no choice, really. No. Absolutely. Options are limited. Frankie, thanks for your call. Millie, when did you think you were home alone?

So, me and my boyfriend were doing one of those really annoying, like, clean eating things. He wrote me into doing it because he was doing it with his gym. And I got, like, three days into it. Absolutely hated it. Went full gas on the fish and chips. Went and bought some choppy pots. Oh, yum.

Wollies. Went, like, absolutely ham. Got home. Thought that he wasn't home from work yet, and turns out he'd had a sick day, and he walked out and he caught me. It was sick because he was only eating bloody celery sticks. He should learn his lesson.

And what did you say? Go full gas on some toffee pops. Yeah, full gas on the fish and chips with the toffee pops. And he was so angry though. Right. So he didn't join in and you didn't give him a toffee pop? No, he was really mad. Oh, you should have said, you know what would make you happy? A toffee pop.

Have a chippy, sweet pie. Yeah, thanks for your call. David, when did you think you were home alone? Oh, yeah, this was a few years ago now, but parents had gone out for the night and I was like, sweet, I'm home alone. What does any teenage boy want to do when he's home alone? And I started practicing my juggling.

Vicky Dillon's got talent. But then mum and dad came home, and mum was peeking through the window, and then apparently the video kind of managed to make it into my 21st slideshow, and I never juggled again. Wait a minute. Were you juggling or playing with yourself? I was juggling. Were you actually juggling?

I thought this was all being metaphorical. I thought it was a euphemism. Yeah. Same. And then I was like, rude that your parents would catch you masturbating and put it on the wall. And video it. It was one time, guys.

It was one time. Yeah. Wow. Hey, we all regret juggling too much when we're teenagers. I went blind in my early 20s because of too much juggling. David, thanks. You call some text messages. I was singing and dancing around the house to Man I Feel Like a Woman

by Shania Twain. Oh, good job. Absolute banger. I was practicing kissing when I was supposed to be hanging out at the washing when I was 12. So I'm imagining the shirt gets hung up and then you put your arms around the hanging shirt and then you address where the person was. Maybe your tongue in a pig.

I don't know. You would have wanted to tongue one of those spring hat ones in a friend to flick off in. You would just die of embarrassment. I thought I was home alone and I got caught grating cheese directly into my mouth. Followed by chocolate sauce. Cheese and chocolate sauce.

Okay, I'm not going to mouth that because I haven't tried it, but okay. And I thought I was home alone. I wasn't and I was caught using the spa pool jets in a certain way. Laugh, sweat face, laugh, sweat face, laugh, sweat face. Not an easy explanation there.

You want to be careful too because if you slipped, you could get filled up like a water balloon. And then it's all going to come out and it might bring some stuff with it. You know? Wait, is this a male or a female? Female. Yeah, I pictured a female for some reason. Yeah.

Personal experience? No. No. No. Okay. Just wow. Wow. People listening in pool shops just must be like, not again.

Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Play. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Megan currently broadcasting out of our Tauranga studios.

And just to bring you up to date, if you're just joining us, we had a studio fire this morning. Yeah. We went to plug our headphones in and it started sounding funny. Eee. And then I was like, I think I first said, I can smell something burning. Yeah, and that escalated really quickly. Because you said, no, it's definitely getting worse. So I said, is it?

And Vaughan, you said, well, I can smell it now too. I was straight like a beagle at the airport trying to find the source of that smell. You d said, is it? And Vaughan, you said, well, I can smell it now too. I was straight like a beagle at the airport trying to find the source of that smell. You dived, there was smoke. You dived straight into that. Yeah, no way.

You were a hero. Full of the smoke, guys. Full of the smoke. I ran out of the studio when I saw smoke. I'm just a man in his arrow. But we did get a visit from the fire service.

So thank you. Shout out to the Tauranga fire service this morning. Yep, Gretton Station. Shout out to the Tauranga Fire Service this morning. Yep, Gretton Station. Yep, for coming down and extinguishing the flames. And yeah, we soldier on and coming up on the show. Okay, tone it down, Trump. Okay, mate.

You're not broadcasting from soldering, like, ruins. Yeah, from the remains of a war site. I don't know. Broadcasting from Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1997. The super brave Fletchford and Megan radio program

won't be stopped. We are. We're super brave. Coming up on the show, we've got your chance to win with a COVID rain check. All thanks to Save My Bacon.

You've just got to register at ZM online and we could be hooking you up. We're going to do another Poli Moli. This is the cheating edition. Juice there. Friday Flashback. See them online and we could be hooking you up. We're going to do another PoliMoli. This is the cheating edition. Juicy.

Friday Flashback. And it's a Friday tradition. A little bit late. It is nine minutes past eight. We can blame the fire and our brave broadcasting this morning for being late. Bravery knows no time limits. It really doesn't. And this Friday Flashback, it's my pick this week,

came about because yesterday 660 announced their 660 Saturdays. And with them, the lineup changes were at the different venues and locations. And in Christchurch in particular, Dave Dobbin will be joining them. On the Waitangi Day, that's a huge lineup, along with Broods and a big lineup. The Dobbs. Should we say again that if they do go on stage together, that was our idea? Yes, and this is what gave

me the idea for Friday Flashback today. This song was number one in New Zealand for eight weeks. For a New Zealand song to be number one in the charts for eight weeks is pretty huge. It was four weeks in Australia and number one in 1986. Wow.

And Dave Dobbin wrote this song for a movie, the Foot Rock Flats movie. A dog's tail. Yeah, a dog's tail. I think it's one of the best New Zealand movies ever made. It's quintessentially Kiwi. Yeah, so he was writing this song and he's like, you know what? I think it needs a little bit more. It needs some of that, it needs that kind of gospel choir feel.

Right. So that's when he got the herbs in. Okay. As like a bit of the backing. So today's Friday flashback, it's an absolute key. What are you shaking your head for, Onya? Do you not like this song? She wasn't alive when this

Someone said, yes, nice work, Fletchy Poo. Thank you. That's my cute nickname when I'm in the good box. Someone said, I'm a firm believer this should have been our national anthem.

When we had the flag referendum, we should have had a national anthem referendum too. In fact, how is he not Sir Dave Dobbin? Is he? Is he? He should be. Is he? Is he? Did he turn it down?

I don't know. He's got the air about him and someone will be like, I don't need that shit. I believe, Producer Jared, when you came from South Africa, did they make you listen

Oh. Peter, Peter Millimeter. I just thought everyone had done this. I, like, started the relationship ages ago. Oh, just to see if there was any overlap. If there was any, like, hot girls that he was just, had to see if there was any overlap. If there was any like hot girls that he was just

Little goat bleeder. Oh, I thought you said bleeder. I thought you said bleeder too. But doing that to your friend, that's pretty, that's an a-hole move. Yeah, someone said, without my knowledge I was, it ended the friendship over it. But doing that to your friend, that's pretty, that's an a-hole move. Yeah. Someone said, without my knowledge I was, it ended the friendship over it. Yeah, right. So they used you as an alibi and you didn't even know about it.

That's bad. Wow. Is flirting online cheating? What kind, what are they saying? Like, what kind of flirting? You flirt and you get a discount. That's not cheating. That's a discount we can all enjoy. Yeah, no. I'd be all right with that? You flirt and you get a discount. That's not cheating. That's a discount we can all enjoy.

Yeah, no. I'd be all right with that. Save a penny, save a pound. But if you're writing it online to someone on Messenger or... You'd have to say yes. Karen at farmers.co.nz. How about you make that a Red Deer special? That's flirting for a discount.

To get a discount. Yeah. Karen's not in charge of the, that's head office that does the specials. Pop me through as a friends and family. And even if it's not serious,

I'm just ignoring you. Even if it's not serious, it's still like disrespectful, right? Yeah. 76% said yes it is. Not cheating, but it's not right. We should have done the question,

are you allowed to like a hot model's photo on Instagram? Are you allowed to like it? Yeah, because what's that model got outside? Her stunning good looks. Okay, let me rephrase the question. Are you allowed to like a hot model who lives in New Zealand's photo? No.

Absolutely not. Don't be foolish. Don't be silly. Absolutely not. Don't even say those silly things. The last question was, how did you get revenge on a cheater? I trashed his TV and Xbox is one.

Oh, wow. Okay. Lost a bunch of weight, dyed my hair, got a toy boy and living my best life. He came crawling back. Best revenge was saying

I was too good for him. Oh. Oh. Peter, Peter, refractometer. Yes. Your list is getting really running out. If we could wrap this up, that'd be great. Oh, someone kept the dog. Oh. Peter, Peter. refractometer. Yes. Your list is getting longer. I'm really running out. If I could wrap this up, that'd be great.

Oh, someone kept the dog. Oh, Peter. Excreta. And the last one is, I got with her mum. I got with her mum. Yeah. Wow. Holy shit.

Shortland Street wouldn't even be ready for that storyline yet. No, I don't think so. I mean, they're pretty progressive. Yeah, but. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We're in a studio that was on fire earlier, but Megan's in the office.

That felt like a solo out in the office. Yeah. She's out sitting amongst the Bay of Plenty Times journalists singing some stupid song. They're like, sorry, sorry, sorry, Sergeant. I'll just have to wait there on that serious crime issue. We've got someone singing a ridiculous song in the studio. Today's fact of the day is about the rainbow song. You know the rainbow song?

The one that Kermit sings? No, not the rainbow connection. Red and yellow and pink and green. Purple and orange and blue. So that's the song. That's how I remember what colours are in the rainbow. But there's also roidjibiv. You know roidjibiv?

Yep. Red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, violet. Yeah, rojibiv. Huh. So violet is exchanged for purple. Yeah. But the other one is exchanging indigo for pink. And indigo and pink aren't nearly the same colour.

No. So why is it in there? And which one is it? Is it pink or is it indigo and pink aren't nearly the same color. So why is it in there? And which one is it? Is it pink or is it indigo? Well, for the answer, we turn back to the man that kind of is responsible for pointing at a rainbow and being like, interesting. I wonder how that happens. Sir Isaac Newton. Right.

Okay. He broke it down and the only reason he put the seventh colour in because if you know, if you did art you know you've got your primary colours. You've got your yellow, your blue and your red. Yellow and, I mean, yeah, yellow and blue make green. Yep. Red and blue make purple. Orange

is made from red and yellow. So those are your purple colours and then those are your secondary colours. Right. The ones that they make. However indigo is a tertiary colour. It's a mixture of one of those colours and then those are your secondary colours, the ones that they make. However, indigo is a tertiary colour. It's a mixture of one of those colours and a secondary colour. So what's the fact of the day? Today's fact of the day is the only reason that there's seven colours listed in the Rainbow Song or Roy G Biv is because Isaac Newton was scared of the number six.

What? It's a connection to the occult. You know 666, the number of the beast? Six is like an evil number. When he broke it down, he's like, okay, so the primary colours are there, the secondary colours are there, and he's like, six colours, people aren't going to be on board with this. They're going to think it's a sign of the devil,

but rainbows are beautiful and the splitting of the colour, of the light spectrum. So when was this happening? What year? This was in 1665. So their version of the 5G people were around then. Yeah. Yeah, the occult.

Terrible. You know, you think it was like the Middle Ages and stuff. Yeah. Scientists were still being strung up if they said that the sun wasn't the center of the universe. They'd burn you if they thought you were a witch. Yeah. You wouldn't be able to wear those heels you've burn you if they thought you were a witch. Yeah. You wouldn't be able to wear those heels you've got. They'd think you're a witch.

Yeah, rude. And then they'd drown you and they're like, she survived, she's a witch, burn her. She drowned. Don't worry, everyone, she's dead, but she was innocent. That was the way of testing a witch. On colours, Megan is absolutely fascinated with the guy on YouTube and his colour, his paint colours.

Oh. He guesses. No, this is on TikTok. The guy who mixes the paint. Yeah. And then he guesses the colours. Christian guesses what paint's going to come out. Yeah.

And that's the idea. You play along with this guy who works in a paint shop. Yeah. And he puts a, he doesn't tell you what the base is. You look at the base and you're like, is it white or whatever? Yeah. And then the colours get added and you've kind of got to make a judgement of how much of what colour getting added,

how it all mixes together, what colour comes out. I've seen them do it at Mitre 10 in Bunnings because I've gone and got paint. It's great fun. But yesterday that one we were watching, it looked like it was going to be poo brown or orange and it came out grey.

It's amazing. Do you reckon I could just go to Mitre 10 and sit there and watch them all day and be like, oh, what's it going to be? Yeah, block your ears when someone's making their order. Yeah. But like, surely like 99% of colours ordered at Mitre 10 and sit there and watch them all day and be like, oh, what's it going to be? Yeah, block your ears when someone's making their order. Yeah. But, like, surely, like, 99% of colours ordered at Mitre 10 are just a different shade of white.

Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, so today's fact of the day is there's only seven colours listed in the alphabet song or rojibiv because Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered white light spectrum, which is a rainbow, thought people would be scared of it if it only had six colors associated. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

The bounty at the social media desk was, we've just witnessed the triggering, because a moment of realisation, if you will, that a song that she did a dance to as a child was not at all child appropriate. Very inappropriate. So how old were you when you danced to the song? I would have been 10 or 11.

And the song, I mean, you can see why. What's that? What's inappropriate about this? You just wait. Sweet sugar candy man. Is the candy man not to be approached? Well, no, because of type 2 diabetes. No, it's, come on, you know the song.

I know the song, but I've never looked at the lyrics. Well, I mean, tattoo's fine. There you go. Oh, yeah. A 10-year-old shouldn't be dancing along to that shit. It was choreographed. Wow. So the song was played over and over and over.

What was the action when it got to that line? I feel like... Was it like a bat? I feel like I may have wiped it from my memory just out of trauma. Because the alternative

is after she says that... This one, listen to this one. Makes me cherry pop. Makes me cherry pop. Wow. Okay. This is... I never realised how inappropriate this was.

I just thought it was a feel-good song. Well, I didn't realise that at the time. It's such a fun bop. It's a banger. Yeah. And the video was like three different Christina Aguilera's in World War II times, rousing the troops. Yeah.

Blonde Christina, brunette Christina, redhead Christina. All your flavours of the rainbow. Wow. Okay. And the All your flavours of the rainbow. Wow. Okay. And the parents didn't notice at all? I don't know. They didn't say anything. You must find this though now with your young girls.

Especially with, because you know, especially in 10 years ago, between then and now, we've got a bit looser, haven't we? As a, you know. Do you know, what's that song where we sing, on the radio they take out the... Yeah, the A&T. Yeah, yeah. What's that song?

I don't know, I don't know, say so. Say so. Doja Cat, yeah. Doja Cat. So the girls love that song, and on the radio it takes out the bit, but there's a bit where they have noticed that it's on when we listen, not on the radio. Yep.

And it's a really, like, the music kind of stops down around it. And it goes A's and T's. A's and T's. And they love saying that. And you're like, ugh. Do they say the full words? Yeah, I think so. Probably because they've heard me say it.

Because it gets to the part of the song where it stops and I say it. Every time that plays on the radio and it stops, I'm always like... Everybody does. So we were wondering this morning, thinking back, what were the inappropriate songs that you can remember from your childhood? Now, maybe think about it a bit more. You shouldn't have been doing a 10-year-old

choreographed dance or song that, you know, at the end of every chorus talks about the panties dropping or the sherry popping. I don't remember. Do you ever remember singing a song or Megan? Nah. I'm sure there would have been. Like censorship maybe back in the what was it,

50s for you was probably about Excuse me? Any drop of ankles would have surely got the radio changed don't you? My husband's younger than me

just a little bit. He said that he sang along to Shaggy it wasn't me and had no idea what was Oh my god the lyrics of Shaggy's

it wasn't you. Yes. Shaggy's it wasn't you. Can you please part that song? I certainly can. Singing all the words to that song is a little bit inappropriate. This is just the next Christina song.

Okay. Well, that's saucy. Because this guy's like, hey, Shaggy, I've been doing, I've been caught. I've been having. Relations. Relations. Shaggy's just like, get in here, young gangster. I'll teach you the ways that Shaggy gets himself out of trouble.

And he's like, teach me, Shaggy. And Shaggy just says this. No, that's that kid. He starts singing. He's explained what the problem was, but now he's singing the problem. Yeah. We were both butt naked. Banging on the bathroom floor.

Oh, my. And Mr. Toyboy. Yeah, when he was little because shaggy came to new zealand right and he's at western springs yeah and that was when my husband lived across the road and so they went and peered over the fence and was singing along to shaggy singing this but this was a massive song this was everywhere yeah but it's again it's one of those songs it's sound it's feel good on the outside isn isn't it yeah but when you yeah you don't really pay too much attention to the lyrics to what Shaggy's telling him to say it wasn't me

yeah so we're banging on the sofa yeah imagine the tiles on the bathroom floor were quite hard so you'd want the sofa for something. Anyway, we would like to know what songs you can remember now looking back that you loved as a child but were perhaps a tad inappropriate. All right, give us a call. 0800-DARLS-IT-IN. Mounties told us this morning hearing Christina Aguilera's Candyman has made it obvious to her now as an adult

that it should not have been their dance recital song for when they were 10 in dance class. Yeah, there's popping cherries. There's panties dropping. And that's just two of the lines, of many lines that make it inappropriate. But we want to know, looking back now, what songs did you love and perhaps sing that were

maybe inappropriate for children of your age? Yeah, Briar, what was one of those songs? Hey, guys. So, do you guys know This Love by Maroon 5? No way. I saw it written beside your name, so I got it queued up. Oh, perfect. So, when I was about 12.

Yep. Okay. Go on. When I was about 12... Yep. Okay. Go on. When I was about 12, I was on SingStar back in the day. Yeah. I love doing concerts with my family. I probably still would now to be fair, because who doesn't love attention?

But I full on got my performance on, and they just stared at me, just stunned guns, and did not know how to react. And then the next day I woke up, and my SingStar game was gone. Oh, really? Oh, they took it away. Yeah.

It's one line, isn't it? Is it? It keeps you something every night. Oh, right. And I remember I never knew the words until singing Caesar and seeing it written down and being like, I think there's a double meaning to that. It's once you read them, you're like, wow, that's what I was saying?

Yeah. She's not just coming around to see him. She's coming to visit. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think mum and dad interpreted it that way either because Sensa got taken away. It did.

Brian, thanks for your call. Sophia, good morning. Good morning. What was the song that as a kid you probably shouldn't have been singing? Well, it was in primary school. We were doing a pantomime and it was for Peter Pan. And me and some of the girls were mermaids. And the teacher said, you guys can choreograph your own dance.

So it was a pantomime and we were like, oh my gosh, yes, so exciting. And the song Womanizer by Britney Spears had just come out this is confusing for so many levels you were married

you were in Christmas Peter Pan pantomime and you choreographed the children within the Peter Pan world to know

Britney Spears Womanizer yeah and we had we like put Peter Pan in like the middle on a chair and we were like dancing around to the song.

And luckily, the teachers were like, well, can we see the dance before like we do the show in front of everyone? Yeah. So we showed the teachers and they were horrified.

They were like, no, absolutely not. Well, that'll teach them to skimp on the choreography. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, okay.

That's probably not good for young kids to be singing, is it? Dancing around Peter Pan. Is Peter Pan even a womanizer? Isn't he a forever child? Yeah. We didn't know

what womanizer meant. Yeah. Oh, my God. Fair enough. know what womanizer meant. Yeah. Oh my God. Fair enough. Because there's a lot of women. No, it was just that. Yeah. Women, we're women.

Brilliant. Sophia, thanks for your call. Caleb, what was the song that you probably shouldn't have been singing as a kid? Look, it was Justin Timberlake's

Sexy Bag. Oh, okay. I can get that. You couldn't escape this song when it came out. Like, I think it was the number one. I'm bringing sexy back. That's kind of funny to imagine a kid being like, I'm bringing sexy back.

Yeah. Yeah, but the lyrics aren't as, it's just sexy is the only. No, because then it goes, them other S's don't know how to act. Oh, yeah. See, we've forgotten ourselves. You mute those. And in the radio version, I think

it was them other boys don't know how to act. Yeah, brilliant. Oh, hold on, I'm looking at the lyrics here. It says, dirty babe. You see these shackles, baby, I'm your slave. Oh, so it's a bit of white. I'll let you whip me if I misbehave Okay, yeah, probably not ideal there, Caleb. Thank you.

That song's never sounded less sexy. Take it to the chorus. Rude. Go to the back. VIP. Yeah, this is a new segment where Bourne sings along and dissects songs. Yes.

I'm looking at these lyrics. There's a lot of inappropriateness in that song, actually. Some text messages in. Yeah, some other songs that you maybe sung along to as a kid. How about this one? Spice Girls. To Become One. Tonight is a no. I become one. Tonight.

Oh, my God. I know. I know. I'm just in life. Like they're getting married. No. They're putting it in the other one and they're becoming one. What do the lyrics say? I dream of you and me together.

Say you believe it. It's all about getting down to it. No. And becoming one. That's my childhood. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Well, mm-hmm.

Be for real. Don't be a stranger. Come on. Get a little bit closer, baby. Get it on. Get it on. Because tonight is the night we're two become one. Wow.

Wow. Come a little bit closer, baby. Get it on. Get it on, get it on. Wow. Because tonight is the night where two become one. Rude. I need some love like a wow. Yeah, I know.

It's all there. If you actually listened really closely, you could hear Victoria Beckham in that. No. That was Jerry doing another track. Oh, right. Okay. This one we've had text messages about.

Gotta get that. Boom Boom Pow. Boom Boom Pow. It's just about gum powder, isn't it? Nope. It's about Boom Boom Pow-ing. Wow, okay. I can't remember the lyrics in this song other than Boom Boom Pow.

There's a lot. I can see why there's a lot of boom, boom, pow. Satellite radio. Y'all get hit with the boom, boom. But no, that's about trying to get down to the boom, boom, pow and organising the next boom, boom, pow and having some more boom, boom, pow. I love this, though, because of the way the person sets this scene. It was Christmas.

Okay. 1992. Yeah. So we're going back quite a few years. Yeah. The family got together and we now, we have a family reunion Christmas. The idea is the kids put on a show. Okay, that's good. So picture eight-year-old me strutting out and pressing play on the cassette and this song comes on.

Do you know this song? The divinals, I touch myself. I love myself. I want you to love me. Hey, self-revellment. Yeah. Not from an eight-year-old. Not from an eight-year-old.
