ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. It's five past six. Day eight. One week. We're one week down. Three to go. That's how that works, baby. Yes. I was real proud of one week And then I said three to go

And I was like Oosh Yeah One week since you looked at me Also I think we all secretly know It's going to be more than four But let's not talk about that now But it's important to seed the idea

So it doesn't come as a huge surprise When it gets announced Yeah that is All about managing expectations And life isn't it Can I play that Bare naked lady song In the background

Yeah It's been one week You don't remember that song Why would you want All about managing expectations in life, isn't it? Can I play that Bare Naked Lady song in the background? Yeah. It's been one week. You don't remember that song? Why would you want... In fact, nah. I'm going to play that tomorrow for... Friday Flashback. Friday Flashback.

Oh, okay. I'm on board with that. What are you changing? Are you going to change the lyrics? It's been one week since you... A couple of days since you got locked inside your house. Can't see people outside your bubble. People love a parody in isolation.

That's one thing I've learnt from the internet. They've got time for their parodies. They've got time to work on their parodies. Yeah. Yeah, okay, good. That's taken care of. Do you remember when every band sounded like the Barenaked Ladies? Yeah.

They did well, though, because the other one you remember. Yeah. Harvey Danger. Flagpole Sitter. Oh, yeah. That was an absolute banger. That was another. I'm going to Google bands that sounded like Beer Naked Ladies.

Hold on. Bands that sounded like Beer Naked Ladies. Play that Flagpole Sitter song. That was such a great song. I was a- Flag. Oh, that didn't look right. Flagpole. Paranoia, paranoia.

Everybody's coming to get me. Never let me. Then the original's not on Spotify. Harvey Danger. It's not on there. It's all like covers. What? Harvey Danger. Are you on's not on Spotify. Harvey Danger. It's not on there. It's all like covers. What? Harvey Danger.

Are you on Spotify Premium? Okay, Harvey Danger. No. Megan, excuse. No, no, excuse me. I'm on Spotify Premium. No, that does affect your searching, doesn't it? I'm on Premium.

Geez Louise. Are you? When did you go to Premium? Ages ago. No way. That's a tax deductible company expense. Also ages ago. It's not on there. So it's believable. They don't have... Flag, so ages ago. It's not on there.

So it's believable. They don't have Flagpole Sitter by Harvey Danger is not on Spotify. Harvey Danger and lots of other songs. Oh, now we need to know why Flagpole Sitter is not on Spotify. It must be a music company thing. We'll go on YouTube. We can't not have the song now. And there'll be people listening that don't know what song we're talking about.

Are you kidding me? This song reminds me of a sixth form trip to Wellington. We took a bus all the way to Wellington to go to Lake Te Papa and stuff. Okay. What a shame it's not on Spotify. It's had 5 million views and it was only uploaded in 2014. By No Sleep Records. I want to look into why Harvey Danger played Pulse of the Sun on Spotify. This could be another podcast series to go with the Why Did Vector Arenas.

Why did Vector sponsor Vector Arena? Yes, power to the people, the Vector Arena story. Can someone start making cover art? Someone who's talented and stuck at home. You must sing the chorus. Yeah, because every good podcast needs some cover art. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then even if we don't have the podcast,

we've still got the cover art. Yeah, we can just pretend we had a podcast and then we faced a whole bunch of litigious issues, which meant that we couldn't release the podcast. Yeah, sure. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I thought this was a cute story about a little country road and a dog driving the car.

It's a little bit more full on than that. In the US US one driver decided that the freeways are pretty much empty. So it's a great time to teach their pitbull how to drive. It's not as silly as it sounds. Remember we had

Mark Vetti and that dog drove your little MX5 that time. That was super cute. It was in a car park though. Yeah. Not on a free time. That was super cute. It was in a car park though. Yeah. Not on a freeway. They were our dogs. Oh yeah, that's right.

It was Lulu and... Oh, but Leo couldn't reach... No, it wasn't Leo. It was Bruno. Oh, was it Bruno? The beagle, yeah. Oh, R.I.P. R.I.P. Bruno.

Oh, that's... What a good dog. Yeah. What's wrong with Leo? I didn't say that. I just said Bruno was a very good dog. Oh, Leo's a good boy. He was a beagle.

He was super cute. Yeah. So, yeah, one driver took his pit bull out on the freeway and decided to teach him to drive. So the authorities were called when everyone's like, there's an erratic driver on the freeway, as you'd imagine. But wasn't just swerving all over the road. It had crashed into

two vehicles without stopping. Oh my God. The police then ended up in a pretty high speed chase, 175 Ks. Wow. They were chasing this car, still driving absolutely recklessly, quote. When they pulled up alongside the car, they looked over to see that the pit bull was driving while the owner steered. It was just kind of like...

In the pit bull's defence, it was trying to find pit bull on the radio. How was the pit bull accelerating? Or was the owner... I was just thinking that. Maybe the owner had the leg over accelerating. Yeah. It would be the only way, right? Surely. Yeah, because the dog surely wouldn't be able to reach the...

The pedals. Unless it just had its foot flat to the floor. I don't know. But didn't stop when they saw the police ended up going down a mountain bike trail and crashed. So they ended up using spike strips to bring it to a stop. Oh, wow.

The guy was just absolutely, I don't know, just like, this is what I'm doing. See you, police. But I don't know. Weird. Also, you've got to worry about your dog, like, when you crash to a halt. Like, what's going to happen to your dog?

At least he had his seatbelt on. I don't know. It's so weird. People have got too much time on their hands at the moment. Yeah, going a bit crazy Yeah ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast Just a quick update

I've messaged Sean Nelson Lead singer of Harvey Danger To ask why Flagpole Sitter's not on New Zealand Spotify As a slight bit of research found a subreddit Where somebody asked why they can't listen to Flagpole Sitter And somebody said, what are you talking about? I can see it. So I believe it's a regional issue.

Geographic block. Ouch. So I don't know if in the US, Flagpole Sitter is. Well, let's all A-OK. The investigation continues. In our Harvey Danger podcast series called, oh, what can this one be called? Flagpole Sitter. Something Sitter.

Flagpole Sitter. Regional Sitter. Where do we sitter? Where do we sitter? Where do we sitter? Where do we sitter? Where do we sitter on this? Where do we sitter on this?

That's an ongoing. A podcast special. I like this. We better start recording these podcasts. The Harvey Danger podcast. We've got time. We may as well record them. I mean, there might be only one or two parts, but fascinating. And we need to simulate some music

and we'll be like, after the break. That's what they always say on podcasts. And should we have a MailChimp? Now, MailChimp hasn't sponsored any podcast that I've been listening to. It's always brought to you by other podcasts that that podcast company makes. And then Fracture, who prints photos on glass. I've been listening to it. Yeah, right, okay. It's always brought to you by other podcasts that that podcast company makes. Ah, right, okay.

And then Fracture, who prints glass, prints photos on glass. Okay, great. That's what they do. Yeah. Anywho, locals in the Hawke's Bay, no, locals in Hawke's Bay, I don't like it when you say my Hawke's Bay.

No. They'll turn on you like a bunch of rabid Art Deco 1930s flappers and strappers or whatever. They'll get one of those machine guns with the big round thing. Tommy gun. Yeah. Dang, you caught us the hawks brain, did you? We're Art Deco, she. That's why we always dress as gangsters and drive cars along the waterfront.

So general practices are in the need of scrubs. These are your doctors, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, the GPs. The local doctors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they need scrubs because all the scrubs are being diverted. There's a shortage of scrubs. It's kind of around the world.

Yeah. A lot of medical shortages. But locals have started to do some sewing because people are in isolation with time on their hands. And you know the old saying, the devil makes work for idle hands? Yeah, sure. Idle hands make the devil's work. I thought it was idle hands.

The devil is... Makes work for idle hands. I've just Googled, idle hands are the devil's workshop. There's multiple takes on this. This is also something we will investigate in our upcoming podcast series.

The original one is idle hands makes the devil's I've never heard this one. Idle lips are his mouthpiece. So you should

just continue talking non-stop just so that you don't stop and go, Hail Satan! Or something like that.

No, I didn't move my lips. It means like not saying anything is just as bad, isn't it? The devil finds work for idle hands. There you go. You've got to speak up. It's Bible.

It's Bible. It's really old, so I'm imagining it's been through a few translations. But I catch the origins of that saying in our upcoming podcast series, Idle Hands. Where's Jesus? The devil's story. Yeah. Idle mouth is the spinoff. Yeah.

Okay. Of Idle Hands. Tell me your idle mouth. Can you stop making extra podcast work for us? We've already got two. All these amazing podcast ideas we're having. I'll write them down. You write them down. Idle Hands? Question mark. It's got to have Tell you what, it's a time for diversification. Write these down. I'll write them down. You write them down.

Idle hands? Question mark. It's got to have a question mark in it. Wash your idle hands. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Washing your idle hands?

No, that's the devil spreads COVID-19, an investigation series. Anyway, locals are. It's a spin-off of the devil wears Prada. Yes. The devil makes you not of The Devil Wears Prada. Yes. The devil makes you not wash your hands while wearing Prada. You're just getting all these... This is a great brainstorm. I'm glad everybody was here for it.

So these... Junu, if you've got a basic understanding of economics, and if you don't, check out our upcoming economics podcast. That's one we're definitely not doing. Supply and demand, the podcast story. There's a shortage, so they've spiked in price. So locals are stepping up and sewing. Sewing pairs of scrubs.

Apparently a pair of scrubs can get as high as $148. And even I was reading in the US, like states are having to outbid each other in the United States for medical supplies. Oh, that sucks. Like New York has to put up, has to battle with like California or other states. And so they end up paying so much more for,

like the whole thing's messed up. And then of course, I was reading yesterday, Australia was sending a whole lot of stuff to China to sell to them. But then they also need that kind of stuff there. The world's just crazy. Do they need a specific type of material? Because I only bought T-shirt material for lockdown.

So the local patchworking and quilting group were approached for the sewing, but they need 700 pairs of scrubs apparently, so they need more volunteers. So, yeah, you could probably make them out of T-shirt material, right? And if it's a little bit, if the collar's a little bit wonky, like, who cares? So they'd use it once and then throw it out or wash it? I think they would. They'd wash it?

Each practice will be managing how scrubs are hot washed daily after wear. But they also have a washing machine installed on site because most of the time I guess that there's a company that comes that does all the washing. Yeah. Elskow. Ain't nobody dope as me. I'm just so fresh and so fresh. installed on site because most of the time I guess that there's a company that comes that does all the washing. Yeah. Elko. Ain't nobody dope as me. I'm just so fresh

and so fresh and so clean, clean. Elko. Join us for our upcoming podcast series. Elko. Ain't nobody dope as me. I'm just so fresh

and clean, clean. The tea towels in your workplace story. Stop making us work. Write that down. Stop making us tea towel work. How do you know about Elskow?

Elskow. Two reasons. It's written on all their tea towels. Oh, yeah. And two, I used to live just down the road from the Elskow. I used to run past it in Kingsland. The washing, where they wash them all. Yeah.

And that's why I say Ain't Nobody Dope as Man just so fresh and clean, clean. Because they had parks and it would be like the dirty park where you'd park your van with the dirty details and then it would say fresh and clean on a park where they'd load the truck that was fresh and clean and somebody literally graffitied on it, ain't nobody dope as me, I'm just so fresh and clean, clean.

Brilliant. The Elko story. Stop making us do extra work in podcasts. But this is the thing. We've done nothing. But it makes it sound like we've got a wicked podcast library. Which we can work on. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. Well, I've been dropping in with a little bit more again lately. Getting back into the fortnight. Yeah, had a couple of seconds yesterday. Very close to a first place in Jaws. Have you not downloaded Call of Duty? Ah, that's still downloading. Yep.

Well, I almost downloaded it and then it needed an update. I was like, how bad can the update be? 42 gigs. Oh, wow. Okay. I'm really testing the old PS4's storage ability. But I'll tell you next a story about somebody who made a big Fortnite mistake and it's cost them a fortune.

All right, this is next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, the podcast. Hey, B-ballers and B-girlers, do you remember Kendrick Perkins? No. Yeah. He played for the likes of the Boston Celtics. Oklahoma City Thunder and the New Orleans Power Rangers. Oklahoma City Thunder. And the New Orleans Power Rangers.

You got it. Won an NBA championship in 2008 with his team. The Boston Celtics. Correct. Yes. Good work. Good sports from you. Great sports. Great sports knowledge from you.

Is it Celtics or Celtics? I always say Celtics. Sports in the news. Yeah, well, I imagine that's why this story is made. Made the news. Okay. Kendrick Perkins, he went to buy something in the store with his credit card and it declined. And he was like, impossibly.

Please, I'm a former NBA star. I've got lots of money. He's like, I've got a $16,000 US dollar limit on this card. Impossible that it would decline. Yeah. $10,000 limit on this card, impossible that it would decline. And so he went and checked, and his kids had racked up $16,000 worth of Fortnite booze. How do you even do that?

They went into the store and bought everything available, basically, because they were in isolation, because they were in lockdown, they're stuck at home. He said that was bad enough before this, but all they do now is play Fortnite. And he said, yeah, they literally went in and bought every skin every day for a month and went into the store and just bought every single thing they could. And he didn't notice on his credit card because, well, he's rich. He doesn't notice.

He doesn't check his credit card. He doesn't check it? Well, he did when it maxed. Yeah, right. He probably thought he had a pretty good handle on exactly how much money had been spent on there. Did it say how much? $16,000.

Is that how much he's got on his credit card? That was his limit. That's why he said it's impossible. That's so much money on a credit card. I'd never pay that back. Yeah, it's $27,000. $27,000 New Zealand dollars. How is that possible?

That's nuts. I know he's got multiple kids, so maybe they had multiple Fortnite accounts all linked to his credit card, so they were all buying. So I just don't know how you would spend that much money on Fortnite stuff. Like, yeah, $10 a skin. That's a lot. Is there only $10?

Okay, right. How many skins are there? Like, ebbs. Oh, right. So they were just buying all of them. Then you can buy dancers and all sorts of things. Oh, yeah, right. It'd add up.

Yeah, but that's a lot. I think maybe he'd also signed up for a Pornhub premium because they were doing a week free, but you still had to put in your credit card details. Actually, they're doing the... It's all free at the moment during isolation. They came out with one of their promos. But remember to cancel it because they do have your, it's one of those free trials.

Who's messaged you about porno's free trial? No one. It's because usually it's your mum that will flick you a message during the show to confirm something's right. Yes, your father signed up for that. Ben's like, can confirm, yeah, premium porno. Can confirm, yeah, but they do want your credit card, so yeah, we've got to remember to cancel that. Alright, Megan, you've got the latest. Mark Wahlberg has

documented what his daughter is doing to him in lockdown, details me. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. The latest. Pretty much the whole world is in varying stages of lockdown, and Mark Wahlberg has found himself in quarantine with his children.

So he is letting his daughter work on her skills, shall we say. Okay. And he's been getting a pedicure, a pink nail polish. Yeah. Look on his hands. Painting my hand. Okay, so 15 days into quarantine now, I'm getting manicures and apparently a full makeup.

She's got her whole kit there. Yeah, this is what's happening now. Looks pretty cute. Yeah. He's famous for his routine, his massive day that starts at like 2 or 3 a.m. Well, I don't know. No one's doing it. He's probably just doing

half an hour of Les Mills in front of the TV in the morning. Yeah, he gets up at like 3am, wakes up for two hours, has breakfast. Although he's probably got a gym at home, so he probably is. Yeah. Who knows? Madness. That is the latest. For more, go to ZM Online.

All right, the top six is next on the show. Club Penguin is back, baby. So we are compiling a list of the top six games you need during an isolation period. Tell me a bit more about this return of Club Penguin. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Clark's back. Clark's back.

Clark's back, yep. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Well, in 2017, the game Club Penguin, which is an online game, 2005 is when it started. It was massive, but in 2017, due to dwindling numbers, it got shut down. Well, according to the official Club Penguin online Twitter account, they've updated their website and they were preparing for a new era of Club Penguin online.

The transformation has begun. Good timing from them. Everyone's inside. Everyone's inside. Great time to get back on that video game buzz. Six million people have already pre-registered. Wow. And I wondered if you'd be able to get your old Club Penguin...

I don't know. Yeah. Club Penguin login's back. Of course, Animal Crossing's massive. This is on the Nintendo Switch now. Everyone's playing Animal Crossing. What happens on Animal Crossing? Just looks real cute. I don't know. They just walk around as animals.

Every day you're like, gosh, I should have got a Nintendo before the lockdown. I see people because I see people playing Animal Crossing. And I'm like, I want to be doing that. But the top seven in top seven? Don't make it

for yourself No no Top six games you need during an isolation period Oh my god how cute is this game Animal Crossing

Yeah I know Can you play it on anything else other than Nintendo? No I think it's a Nintendo It's one of those games that's too cute

to be on any other platform You know how Nintendo does those games that are just too cute What are you doing there? You're washing your animal You got a little bunny pal platform. You know how Nintendo does those games that are just too cute. What are you doing there? You're washing your animal. You got a little bunny pal.

It seems like the sort of game I could get away with buying to say to Sade, oh you know the kids The kids will love it. And then they're like Dad's not letting us have a dinner on Animal Crossing. I say because you don't know the intricacies of it. Shut your mouth. You go to the website and it introduces you to all the different characters and then it says today is Tammy's birthday. Shut your mouth. Go to the website and it introduces you to all the different characters and then it says, today is Tammy's birthday. Tammy the monkey.

Happy birthday, Tammy. You freak-ass looking monkey. Okay, that's not cute. The llama above it is cute, but Tammy freaks me out. The monkey of Toy Story 3 that clangs the alarms to let the big bad bear know that they're trying to escape. Top six games you need during an isolation

period. Number six, don't connect four. Yeah. Don't connect. Stay distant. It's a game of connect four where when your coin actually touches the other person's coin, it's bad. Yeah. It's real bad. Number five on the list of the top six games you need during an isolation period, the game of life.

To win, you just stay away from every other player. Stay as far away as you possibly can. We're all playing that at the moment. Number four on the list of the top six games you need during an isolation period. Operation. It's not like water on the knee or anything. It's just intubating a lot. Oh my god.

Horrendous. Grub. But you've got to learn the skills. Yeah. In case it needs to be done. Number three on the list of the top six games you need during an isolation period. This was built in on the Sega Master System 2. Alex Kidd not in Miracle World. Alex Kidd staying the F at home. Oh, yeah.

He's not out and about shooting that firing or riding that bike through that forest. Good. Get back inside. Number two on the list of the top six games you need during an isolation period. I thought this because there's no sports on telly. Journalomu Rugby. The original Journalomu Rugby. The original Journal of Rugby. Yep.

PS1. Absolutely classic. We could get some live commentary happening because there's all these commentators that aren't up to much. Yeah. Have we thought about that? What?

Commentators. So the sports that people love that aren't happening, like NBA is a great example, or FIFA. Yeah. Because they bring out a video game every year. They're always massively popular. The commentators and everything just commentate people playing them online. Yeah, that could be a great idea.

The best games get broadcast. Yeah. Esports. Who knew, eh? Yeah. Megan didn't even think they belonged at the Olympics, and now look, they're the only sport left. And number one on the list of the top six games you need during an isolation period,

Grand Theft Auto. But not for, like, stealing cars or doing any of the missions, just being able to walk around a city again. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Just being able to go wherever you want and walk into a crowd and, oh, the good old days. That's today's top six.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Next on the show, we're going to be talking to Kurt. Kurt works at Chorus. He is the network strategy director. We're going to see how hard we're pushing the podcast. Next on the show, we're going to be talking to Kurt. Kurt works at Chorus. He is the network strategy director. We're going to see how hard we're pushing the internet. Well, we're all locked at home. And Vaughan's probably going to try and angle for an upgrade to some fiber. 100%.

Yeah. 100%. I don't know how much four and a half Ks of fiber is going to cost because I've seen how close the nearest fiber thing is. Yep. But it can't be that much. Just for one person? Just for me. Don't worry. We don't have to worry about running it

any further than my house. Okay. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Well, people are stuck at home, aren't they? Watching documentaries about tigers. Well, that's what you think you're watching it about, but it turns out the tigers are playing a very small role in the Tiger King. Yeah, aren't they? It's all about the humans who are crazier than the tigers, but it turns out the Tigers are playing a very small role in the Tiger King. Yeah, aren't they?

It's all about the humans who are crazier than the Tigers. But we are testing the internet. We're really pushing the boat out and joining us on the phone from Chorus, who look after the internet lines and other tech stuff. Kurt, good morning. Hey, how are you? Good, thank you. Now, last week we read that we'd set a new New Zealand record for our usage.

Yeah, that was right on Friday night. We had a number called three terabits a second, so that was pretty spectacular, yeah. And have we managed to do, like, how have we done this week? Have we... Well, it's all softened down a bit. We're running now, that number's more like about 2.6 or 2.7. And so I think, you know,

last week there was just that big surge when people first got used to working from home. And then, of course, Call of Duty released a new game. And I've heard you guys have been downloading that all week. So that's probably contributed to the peak, you know? No, in fact, let's chat. Because this three terabytes,

I'm contributing very little to it because I'm on ADSL or VDSL or whatever, and I've looked on your website when you plan to bring fibre to my rural area, and it's not even on your to-do list. I was wondering what I need to do, Kurt, to get myself bumped up that list. Well, I think you have to talk really nicely to me. Kurt, Kurt. I am, I am.

I can only get nicer. That's always a good start. Yeah, look, hopefully we get to do some more fibre out there in

rural New Zealand, so that'll be a great thing to do. What do you drink, Kurt? What do you like? What's your favourite chocolate?

I don't think Kurt's open to bribery. Do you like flowers? Yeah, well, I just like a really, really strong long black in the morning.

Okay. In fact, actually two strong long blacks in the morning keep me going. You could get Kurt an, long blacks in the morning. We can give you an espresso. Keep me going. You could get Kurt an espresso. I could. That sounds delightful.

Yeah, I could get him an espresso. All of a sudden, Vaughan's got ultra-fast broadband. Boom. Small price. So are we in danger of, like, hitting a limit or being throttled back or, you know what I mean? No, look, there's not really any hard limit. So we can handle three and a half to four terabits a second.

Oh, that sounds like a goal. It is. It is. Go for it. You know, I challenge you guys. And we have this thing called a congestion-free network, which means we promise to always make sure there's more capacity than what people need.

Wow. So if you promise to use more, we'll promise to put more in. How about that? Oh, this sounds great. This sounds great. Can you see, like, what websites traffic, you know, is favouring? No, we don't. We just carry bits of data.

Okay, okay. So that's all. That's all. That's all. We just carry bits of data. I love that you like what people are searching. No, I was just wondering if you could give us, just wondering if there was a percentage you could be like, oh, yes, there's one very popular segment.

No, what we know from overseas research is that the things like YouTube and Netflix, and at the moment, Zoom is the big one. Zoom meetings is one of the key things. But it's the usual people watching Tiger King on Netflix and watching cat videos on YouTube and all that sort of stuff is the usual main thing that caused the data usage. Because what's normally New Zealand's peak time

and have you seen that change while we've been in isolation? Well, peak time's nine o'clock at night and that hasn't changed. But we've had a huge increase of traffic during the daytime, obviously with people working from home, but the internet's not usually busy in the daytime, so having all that increase in the daytime is actually really easy to support.

But the one interesting bit is the upstream traffic. That peak has shifted from 9 o'clock at night back to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And that's upstream. So that's people sharing content with each other at work and doing Zoom meetings, we think. So that's been the big benefit that people have had. Or Call of Duty.

You mean uploading Call of Duty? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, because you're uploading right if you're playing live, right? You've got to be sending data packs, yeah. Yeah, well, actually, interestingly, playing doesn't use a lot of data.

That's more about getting a low ping time, you know, low latency. Low pings. Yeah, low ping, short kill time, if you call it that. Yeah.

The big data usage with gaming is when you download your updates. Right. There was actually, on Tuesday night, there was a Fortnite season 12.3, if anyone's still playing that.

Yep, yep. That caused a little bit of a surge on the network because, of course, they released that at 7 p.m. New Zealand time. Oh, right. Right at our peak time. Brilliant. Terrible timing. Terrible.

Fascinating stuff. Thank you so much And thank you To everybody at Chorus Who's bringing us the internet Because we're being screwed without it Yeah imagine what this would be like without it It'd be horrible

We'd have to talk to people Kurt and that'd be awful Alright thanks Kurt We are going to live stream On our Facebook FVMZM If you would like to Join the show this morning

From the comfort of your bed. I didn't mean that to sound creature. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Would you agree that at the moment it's not a great time for car troubles? Absolutely yes. I am having car troubles. Yesterday

when you said your car was like hehehehe I was like uh oh. It was like, I was like, uh-oh. It was laughing, like Vaughan. Well, this morning it's just like, Alright, well we can deal with your car issues soon on the show. Also, we sent a couple of people some homework yesterday. We're going to

play homeschool and catch up with them and see if they did their homework yesterday. So Emily was set the assignment of a one minute presentation on Lady Di. Oh, cheers to Lady Di. And then later in the show, Jackson's going to do his one minute presentation on waterlocks, the canal system used to get a boat

to a different level. Yes. I can't believe he chose that. I know, he did choose that. That's fascinating. That's a fascinating subject. Have you ever been in a waterlock? No. Oh, it's fantastic. Thrilling. It's quite boring, but yeah.

Oh, right. Thrilling. Thrilling for some, yes. Next on the show, though, there have been reports out of isolation. Those people that have been forced to quarantine in hotels, camper vans, motels. When arriving in New Zealand during this testing time. And there's a bit of a discrepancy with some of the accommodations. So those that are coming back into the country

must prove that they have a place to self-isolate. So for example, if you can land in Auckland International Airport and you're going to your home or your aunties or your friends, they've got a room, that's okay, right? Yeah.

If you can't, like you have to get to, I don't know, somewhere down country and there are no flights, you will be put up in a hotel, a motel

or a camper van because I don't know if you've seen, they've turned Ellerslie Racecourse, which would normally be gearing up for the Easter show. Yeah, into the flashiest gypsy retreat you'll ever see. Yeah.

It looks like a traveller's, like, they've all just pulled in. Yeah. It looks like one of those. It's a gypsy fair, but everybody's got a lovely Brits. Those boomers over a long weekend will all do the camper van clubs and they'll all meet somewhere. It looks like that. Great uncle who used to live on the other end of the farm

that we grew up on, he used to belong to the caravan club. I found it fascinating. People would just turn up on a Friday night and they'd just stay in a paddock and they'd just get OTP and all weekend. Now looking back, I don't suspect there was some sexual misadventures at play. Absolutely. Why does it have to be sexual? Oh, we're looking into it.

It was. In my new podcast series, which goes behind the scenes of caravan clubs. It's called Behind the Net Curtain. They always have net curtains and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you've just joined the show, we've been brainstorming podcast ideas all morning. Yeah, and they're all deep dives. They're all investigative pieces.

So if you can't find a place to self-isolate, the government will put you somewhere. Now, this is where this news story comes to us from. The Booth family, they got back from Rarotonga on Saturday. Now, they're from Wellington, by the looks of it, and they couldn't get to Wellington. So obviously the government doesn't want you to infect people, possibly infect people, I should say, on your way back home.

So they put you up somewhere. And it could be the camper van club. It could be a hotel or a motel in South Auckland. What about if my camper van podcast is called RV There Yet? RV There Yet. I like that one. RV There Yet. Did someone message that in?

No, I just Googled caravan puns. Okay. Well, their birth family got put up at a five-star Auckland hotel. And I wondered if this was one of the isolation hotels because I, on my walk to work, walk past this hotel. It's by my house, by my apartment. And there's a police car stationed outside. And one of my friends who's

a cop, he's actually on one of these details at another hotel. And they're basically posted there. Just to make sure no one leaves. Yeah, to make sure no one leaves to check in on those people to make sure that they are self-quarantining. And they are being put up at the So Hotel, the Booth family, and they're giving three meals a day, free Wi-Fi, laundry services,

and fresh linen. And the government picks up the tab. Wow. Wow. Yeah, and apparently when they take you or they say, okay, we're going to self-isolate you or quarantine you, they don't get a choice. They don't know where they're going. Right. They just get in the car and they're either going to self-isolate you or quarantine you, they don't get a choice. They don't know where they're going.

They just get in the car and they're either going to a camper van or a five-star hotel or a motel. And I mean, obviously, they said they're bored. They're very grateful. But, you know, they'd obviously still rather be home. It's not a holiday, even though it's a five-star hotel. What if you could send your kids to the caravan part and you got to go to the five-star?

To the fancy hotel, yeah. I wonder who decides who goes where. Well, apparently it's all just authorities and I'm sure they're just like willy-nilly, even it out. Well, this is exciting because, you know, you always try to get an upgrade to business class when you check into your flight. This would be like you meet the person in charge of this

and you try to be real nice to them. I know. Maybe get them a bottle from Duty Free. Yeah, you'd be like, hi, how's your day? Yeah. They're like, step away from me. Don't breathe.

I would just have this bottle of Pinot Noir. I would just feel this kind of oozy, smoothie, arse kissing and put you in a camper van or a one-star motel with a spa bath. What if they were hot? Oh, they'd get a five-star. I would love to know this, actually.

If it's decided before or they see photos of them and they're like, hot, five star. Because here's the thing, like, if the government puts someone like a real flaming mongrel in a five star hotel and they mess it up, like, who's footing the bill for that? Surely they will. The government's not going to pay if you trash the hotel room. The police are just downstairs. I'd get them to come up with a taser. But I tell them to... Maybe you've got to taser people from behind a plastic shield now.

Fine. You know those riot shields? You slide a little wind thing across, you stick your taser out, and you're like, poof, and then they drop. Yeah. Arm and head resuscitating. No, I'm not doing it. Next on the show, it's a brand new segment with all of us isolated and at home.

It's time for some learning. We're doing homeschool. Emily is going to teach us about Lady Di. We gave her her homework last night or yesterday morning. I hope she bloody did it. Oh, yeah. What are we going to do if no one's done their homeschool homework? Oh, there we are.

A new segment called Detention. What are we going to do if no one's done their homeschool homework? Oh, there'll be a severe reprimand. Detention. A new segment called Detention. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Homeschool. Homeschool is, uh, everybody's homeschooling their kids. I know someone's like, ah, school holidays.

But, you know, we forgot. I mean, nobody doing this is at school anyway. No. It felt like school holidays the week before it was school holidays too. Yeah. Due to schools being shut down. But we thought we'd get a little of the homeschool, and every day we assigned some subjects.

And then the next day, 24 hours or thereabouts, we hear back from the people that we assigned the subjects to, and today joining us, the first of two, Megan's just punched the desk. It sounded like it hurt. Yeah. Emily is here to do her one-minute presentation on Princess Diana. Good morning, Emily. Good morning.

Now, how was your research in the last 24 hours into Princess Diana, the People's Princess? Oh, very in-depth. I got the whole flat involved. It's Princess. Oh, very in-depth. I got the whole flat involved. It was great. Oh, okay. How,

maybe I'll save these questions for after the assignment because I don't want to. Or you'll have to ask questions to the person. Well, no, I think we can ask questions afterwards. Okay. So she does the presentation

then we ask questions as a panel. Okay, so shall I start the timer? Yeah. You have one minute. Hang on, sorry, now I'm on. I was on the timer? Yeah. You have one minute. Hang on, sorry, no, I'm on. I was on calculator. I was on calculator.

I needed to be on stopwatch. Drag down the menu and click on. It's all the buttons I put in one minute and then it was like plus, minus, whatever. Okay, your one minute presentation, Emily, on Princess Diana starts now. Okay, so I'm going to spin this very BuzzFeed-esque style with five facts you don't know about Lady Diana

unless you Googled it last night like I did. Okay. Fact number one, her favourite band was ABBA. However, her dreams of being the dancing queen were ruined as she was told she couldn't be a ballerina because she was too tall. Oh! Fact number two, she wouldn't dominate,

oh, she would dominate, sorry, the coronavirus teddy bear hunt as her house was apparently filled with soft toys. Fact number three, Prince Charles dated her older sister first but was seemingly all good with keeping it in the family as he was also her sixteenth cousin. Fact number four, she gives a new meaning to the term British roast as she apparently called her haters velvet headbands as she felt the fashion piece was childish and reflected the comments they would say about her. Oh, that was a hit.

Fact number five, she died on my boyfriend's birthday. Yep. So that's the best lesson. Yeah. Wow. That was awesome. Okay, let's get back to the, I didn't know any of that. But I didn't know that Prince Charles dated his sister.

He watched The Crown, isn't it? In The Crown? I'm not up to date with The Crown. Oh, okay. Is that serious? Or maybe it was in a doco I watched. Yeah. That's interesting.

Very interesting. And Sass calling her haters velvet headbands because they were childish and reflected the immaturity of those people. That was really a good presentation. And I liked your original presentation style rather than delivering it as a speech. A small bite-sized digestible pieces. Alarm BuzzFeed, as you see. Thank you, thank you.

I thought it could be digestible easier. Okay, I'm giving you an A for that, Emily. What are you? I think we should hand out marks. Yeah. I'm going to give you an A minus. Oh, okay. Why an A minus?

Well, if you gave someone an A or an A plus, that means there's no room to improve, and it's important to... I'm giving you an A plus because I+, that means there's no room to improve and it's important to... I'm giving you an A+, because I don't think there is room for improvement. She was bang on time. We all learnt something. Her style was unique. Yeah.

And delivery was perfect. Thank you. Stop being so negative, Vaughan. No, I'm not being negative. Congratulations, Emily. Thank you. An A across the board there on average, I'm guessing. Just confirming also, what's your boyfriend's birthday?

The 31st of August. Yeah. 1997, I remember the day I was mowing the lawns and Chris Jensen rung. He was my friend at high school. He said, I've just read on teletext, Lady Di's been in an accident. I said, Mum, Lady Di's been in an accident.

She said, okay, finish the lawns. Christine's not recognising the gravitas of that situation. No, not at all. All right, Emily, thank you so much. We don't have anything for you, but maybe we should print out a certificate. Yes. And email her a PDF.

Yes. And you can print it yourself. We're not printing. What is a stock you prefer? Yes. I prefer a hefty stock. And, you know, postage at the moment. Yeah.

We don't want to contaminate your bubble with our bubble. An email PDF is simply cheaper and easier for us. I was going to paint it as healthier for the current environment. We should get some clip art in there as well. That would be really cool. We'll design that. Emily, thank you. We are going to hear from our second presentation just before 9 o'clock this morning between 8.45 and 9.

Jackson's got a lot to live up to. Jackson will deliver his homeschool presentation on water locks. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Car troubles. I've got car troubles. And the ever-reliable 2003 Honda Accord. Non-spawn. Not the...

Surprisingly, Honda aren't spending money getting me to tell you about a car that came out 17 years ago, which surprises me. But the Accord, yesterday I went to start it to come to work and it went ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka, but nothing. So when I got home, I hooked up the Hyundai's battery to go. I've not been paid by Hyundai either. The Hyundai's battery via jumper cables to the car.

Oh, okay. And it started. Oh, okay. So I left it running for a while to deliver charge to the battery. Then I turned it off. And then this morning I went out to, again, start the car to come to work. And it was even less of a ticker, ticker, ticker, ticker, ticker. Right. Question. Right.

Question. Yes. When you started your car, did you just leave it in the driveway running? Yeah. You're supposed to drive it round, sweetheart. Where am I supposed to go, sweetheart? Drive it around your neighbourhood. You're supposed to drive it to charge it.

You can't just leave it running. It's not essential travel, Megan. Well, it's essential because it seems getting as essential. He's supposed to drive it to charge it. I think he's supposed to leave it running because then I turned it off and turned it back on. So it's the alternator. Turned it off and turned it back on. Well, he doesn't know because he didn't charge his battery properly.

But I think it's an alternator. Yeah. Because nothing happened between then and then. No, but you didn't charge it properly. You didn't charge it properly. So today I'll do the same and I'll drive around the block. Drive around the block. But then it must be the alternator.

As someone who constantly had battery troubles with my old car, I had a tiny wee battery. Remember I had like a motorbike battery? Yeah, you did have a tiny battery. That was really small. Every time I needed to get it jumped, they always said to me I had to drive it round. I couldn't just leave it running. Because it doesn't charge it properly. Was that a battery? Yeah. But then he has

driven it today to work. No, I didn't. I drove the other car to work. Because this morning when I woke up it was a ticker, ticker, ticker. Oh, I thought you jumped it again. But yesterday when I left the house, I always locked the door behind me to a part where you can't unlock it again. It has to be unlocked from the inside. Yeah.

And so I had to bang on the window and I had to be like, should I wake up? Should I wake up? I'm having car troubles. She said it was terrifying. Because all she could hear was... Because that's what burglars do. Can you let me in?

No, she couldn't make out any words. She could just hear. Everybody just thought it was a moth. Well, no, there was no lights on. There was no lights on, so there was nothing in it for the moth. Yeah, right. The moth was like, turn the light on, come on. A big puriri moth.

A moth doing an Adam Sandler impression. So this morning I didn't do that. I went back in and got the keys and drove the other car to work. So there is another car. Don't get me wrong, but what do I do? Some people have said it does sound like a battery problem. You need to properly try and charge it. Try swapping over batteries.

I'm not swapping over batteries. But I'm going to push it down to the road and call Roadside Assist. Oh, my God, what a great idea. That is a great idea. Because I've got it right and I never use it. But can they not just come to your house? But they don't give you a new battery, though, do they? They just get you.

They will give you a new battery, but you have to pay for the battery. But you don't pay for the roadside assist. But then they might not have a battery on them. Are mechanics named essential services? Yeah. Surely. Yeah. So just get a mobile mechanic.

Just jump it and drive to the mechanics. No, because I haven't seen any of the usual mechanics in my area open. Oh, right. Right. Yeah, okay. I think I'm going to just push it on the side of the road and then call the right side of the road. Is roadside assist still happening?

Is that an essential? Well, that's an essential. Like if you broke down, surely they'd be considered. Well, you'd have to stand away from them and... A top-notch emergency service, right? Yeah. Yeah. Because normally you could just go somewhere

and they can get that machine and check the charge on your battery. But you can't really do that at the moment either. No. Amy's on the phone. She's having car trouble and you're an essential service worker, Amy. Yes, I am. What area are you working in?

I'm in Carpity. Okay. But what essential area? Like, what do you do? Oh, I work for a service station, mobile. Oh, okay,

right. And you're having car troubles too? Yeah, and mine can't really be fixed by visiting one of the few essential mechanics

that are open because they are open but they can't order any parts in. Oh, right. So unless they had a spare part

or parts in stock, they couldn't help you. Yeah, pretty much. So what do you have to do then? I have had to get someone from my bubble to drive me past my grandma's house where she's put her keys outside. And now I've taken her car for this whole lockdown period. Oh, that's handy. Because she's 83 and isn't allowed to leave.

Well, she shouldn't be going anywhere anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay, well, that's a lifesaver. Amy, thanks for your call. And thanks for bloody working so we can all get fuel as well. True.

Sean, this also happened to you and you're an essential worker. Yeah, yeah. My car decided to, I think it was this cat converter, decided to die on me. What's a cat converter? Does that, you put your cat in there and it turns into fuel? Turns into fuel, like on the back of the DeLorean on Back to the Future. It was rubbish, but in this one you shove stray cats in.

Yeah, absolutely. Right, all right. Doing the SPCA a real good service. Yeah. That was so dark, Sean, but I love it. And I like cats. The prettiest of it

was how calmly it was delivered in such a dark content. Obviously, I love cats and I'm not condoning that. Obviously, Sean's joking. There's no sort of catalytic converter

of converting cats into fuel. And so, what are you going to do, Sean? What have you done? Well, actually, I rang around a couple of mechanics

and one of them agreed to have a look at it. So, if you tell them you're an essential worker, they might have a wee look. Yeah, right, okay. Okay. That's good to know. Thanks for that.

Thanks, Sean. All right, any other messages, Vaughan, with any other kind of guidance for you and other people that have car troubles at the moment? We can still get most parts to keep vehicles on the road. It just takes a little bit longer. Instead of your usual overnight, it's maybe two to three days. Okay. Right. Yeah.

Right. Well, there you go. Just ring around today and find a place that's open. Well, just drive your car around the block and charge the battery properly. I'll try that today. I'll be like, kids, because this is the level of excitement now. The kids haven't left the property since the lockdown happened. Oh, we've been for a walk up the road, but we're like, kids, who wants to

come for a drive around the block? Because it's an essential driver. Yeah, because I'm going to charge my car. Yeah. And I'll be like, kids, who wants to come for a drive around the block? Because it's an essential drive around the block. Yeah, because I'm going to charge my car. And I'll be like, whoa, Dad, this is crazy. Did you get some road trip lollies too, just for around the block? Yeah, that's not a bad idea. I'm just thinking of any excuse to justify eating

at the moment. Aren't we all? Alright, Megan, you've got the latest. Samuel L. Jackson has delivered us exactly what we need in lockdown. I'll play it for you next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The latest. Samuel L. Jackson has read,

and a lot of people have been asking him to do this. He's read Go The F To Sleep, which is made by the same person. No, he hasn't read Go The F To Sleep, which is made by the same person No, he hasn't read Go The F To Sleep. It's made by the same person that wrote Go The F To Sleep. It's Stay The F Home. Yeah, they've yeah, it's been rewritten.

Yes, so he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. They're doing their shows from home and Skyping in people. I'd just like to set the scene a little bit. Samuel L. Jackson was in full purple. He was wearing a purple T-shirt, a purple jacket, and a purple, is it like a beret? You know, beret?

Oh, yeah. That was purple too. It was like a lilac-y purple, and he's sitting on his brown leather couch, reading us, stay the F home. Stay the F at home. The runner is spreading. The rona is spreading. The F is no joke.

It's no time to work or roam. The way you can fight it is simple, my friends. Just stay the F at home. Now, technically, I'm not a doctor. But motherfuckers listen when I read a poem. So here I am, Sam f***ing Jackson, imploring you, keep your ass at home. It goes on.

Yeah. That is the latest. For more, you can go to ZM online. All right, it's 19 minutes away from 8. Next on the show, we've had some correspondence from someone in isolation with their flat. Someone in lockdown and they want to know if they are a bad person. Lockdown edition.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Am I a bad person? Okay, this is an am I a bad person from lockdown. We need to listen to her plight and decide whether she is a bad person. Yeah, so we need your help listening because...

I just nodded and he nodded the microphone. Wow, okay. I'm wearing glasses inside and it's... Yeah. I'm not used to it.

We're live streaming FBMZM on our Facebook. Megan's wearing sunglasses because she's got a shamalose on her eye. Shalazian. Like it's like a sty.

But it's getting better. Yeah. I think you've I reckon by Monday you're over the hill. With the glasses free. Yeah. Good.

Okay. So back to Am I a Bad Person? When you want to look in her eyes again. Good. I miss looking into your eyes. Oi.

I'm making fun of you. Listen to me. Oi. I'm not fun of you. Listen to me. Oi! I'm not making fun of you for my benefit. React, please. Is that the way to stop it? I just ignore you. Just ignore me. I'm like Tinkerbell. I am

Tinkerbell, by the way. You know, Tinkerbell, like if she wasn't getting attention, she's sort of losing her magic and having a little half. Eleven years we've been doing this together and I should just ignore you. She's totally ignored me. I lost my power. But now I'm back, baby. Look at you all looking at me. Yeah, look at me.

Look at me. Okay, am I a bad person? We've received this on an email. I am a girl in a flat of seven. And at the start of the lockdown, we all agreed that we wouldn't hook up with one another within the flat to avoid

drama. Was this a sit down flat mating? Okay, guys. Sounds like it. We've got to stick to our chores and also let's not hook up with each other. Yeah. But then that's the thing. We could be isolated for a long time. Yeah. So flatmates are going to start looking good soon. But that's the thing. Then it creates

drama, doesn't it? Yeah. On the weekend, we got pretty loose and I ended up sleeping with one of the flatmates. The weekend? It was three days into isolation. Yeah. They were getting boozed. It's a guy that I know one of my female flatmates

is kind of keen on, but it seriously didn't mean anything. We both mutually agreed on that. But now my female flatmates is kind of keen on, but it seriously didn't mean anything. We've both mutually agreed on that, but now my other flatmates are livid because we all agreed we wouldn't. Am I a bad person for hooking up with a flatmate when I said I wouldn't? I see where they're coming from and I didn't want to hurt anyone,

but on the other hand, I feel like it's my call as an adult and a girl's got needs and a gal's got needs. Yeah, I don't think she's a bad person. I mean, it's probably not ideal given the current situation and that it could make things awkward with seven people living in a flat. Her female flatmate is kind of keen on him. Is she a friend or a flatmate?

I just checked. To avoid any of this, Adult Toy Megastore is still open and shipping orders. They say our distribution centre has been cleared to continue shipping orders. A free gift. That's not a bad free gift. What is it?

Did you end up? No, I haven't yet. Okay, you're right. Yuck. What? Oh, no, you mean get one for Sade. Is that Did you end up? No, I haven't yet. Okay, you're right. Can you? Yuck. What? Oh, no, you mean get one for Sade. Is that what you're meaning? Well, get some for yourself too.

I don't know. No, I haven't. The Satisfyer Pro whatever. What's the one that everyone's raving on about at the moment? Satisfyer Pro 2. Yeah. But there's so many different Satisfyer Pro 2s. So you're saying if she'd just gone online...

Yeah, go online if a gal's got needs. Yeah, but I mean, she got drunk and the gal had needs right then and there. You know what I mean? Yeah, assuming that the friend is keen on the guy, she'd kind of break the code then, wouldn't she? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But also, if they all agreed not to and the friend wanted to anyway, then it was only a matter of time before she broke the agreement as well.

Okay, well, let us know what you think. 0800 DARS at M. You can text 9696 or if you're on our live stream, FEMZM on Facebook, leave a comment. Is she a bad person? Yes or no? Hooking up with her flatmate when they all agreed they wouldn't. And maybe you've been in that situation in a flat,

maybe pre-lockdown, where, you know, things got awkward because there was a hookup. Give us a call. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Comedians in isolation. We talked to our favourite New Zealand comedians in isolation. Find out how they're dealing with their time in isolation. So, Tom Sainsbury, who is the guy who was made famous with his Paula Bennett.

Yeah, and Gingerbread the Cat. Oh, he's fantastic. And he's always my favourite on Have You Been Paying Attention. Yeah, he's my favourite too. I only watch the episodes that he's on. Same. If you wanted to hurt my feelings, you've achieved what you set out to do. Great.

He's on just after eight. Am I a bad person? All right. We're discussing whether this person is a bad person or not. She's a girl in a flat of seven. When they started the lockdown, they all agreed they wouldn't hook up with anyone to avoid flat drama. She has since, after the first weekend,

hooked up with one of her flatmates. But she also knows that one of the girls has kind of feelings for this guy. So it's a potential breach of the girl code. Yeah, and breach of the flat rules that they put in place. This isn't going the way I thought it would go, to be honest. Casey, what do you think? Is she a bad person? Bad person.

You think she is? Yes, yeah. Okay, right. But why? Because of the girl code or because the flat is? Yes, yeah. Okay, right. But why? Because of the girl code or because the flat agreed? Yeah, I agree with what Megan said pretty much. Right. It's just like, you know, I get sick of when people say,

oh, it didn't mean anything, but it means something, you know, to someone that you live with. That's true. It's just a bit of a, I don't know, bullshit. It's almost more hurtful when they say it didn't mean anything. That's true. It's just a bit of a, I don't know. It's almost more hurtful when they say it didn't mean anything. Yeah, exactly. Why'd you do it?

Have you had personal experience? Oh, no, not really. But just like, you know, you hear that a lot from like, well, not me personally, but friends saying, oh, it didn't mean anything. Yeah. If you care that much, you know, yeah. For sure oh, it didn't mean anything. Yeah. Yeah.

Right. If you care that much, you know, yeah. For sure. Casey, thanks for your call. Zoe, is she a bad person? Yes or no? Nah. I don't think she's a bad person at all. Nah.

See, I don't think so either, but you're actually in the minority, Zoe. You and I. What's the latest poll result at, Megan? 67% think that she is a bad person. What about the fact that she knows her flatmate has feelings for this guy? I just don't, like, they're going to look back at this and laugh, you know? Yeah.

Like, I don't think that it's that much of a big deal. People probably listening right now are probably thinking that I'm... You're the person that did it. You just, to be honest, you just sound super chill about everything. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. They'll get out of this and they'll be fine. That's a good rule, actually. Yeah, what happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. They'll get out of this and they'll be fine.

That's a good rule, actually. Yeah, yeah, it is. Because then that whole flat could get to know each other very well. And that's actually just a good thing for COVID-19 as well.

If you stay in quarantine, it stays in quarantine. Yes. Stays in the bubble. Yeah. Zoe, thanks. You called some messages in, some texts.

Somebody said, why make a big deal out of it? It's happened. She already pointed out the girl's got needs and he was just there to accommodate her needs. What a good guy.

Maybe she shouldn't be worried am I a bad person when she'll be saying, what a good guy. You can't say that every time someone gets hurt. Oh, it's happened now. It's in the past.

It's in the past. Yeah. She's fine. Not a bad person. Both consenting adults. It really has nothing to do with the others. Yeah.

Get it on. Huh. Huh. Well, there you go. 67% saying bad person. Bad person. I think they should readdress at the end

of lockdown because I... Yeah. Yeah. Comedians in isolation coming up. Tom Sainsbury joins us on the phone next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

If you're using House Party, it's the new app that people are using to talk to each other. And have junkies and stuff. It's real clunky. I mean, I've got it and I'm using it. I find the video part of it quite good though. Good quality. Yeah. People aren't locking their rooms either. Like, do they know they can do

that? You lock your room so people can't just jump in. And they can't see who you're in the room with either. Oh, that's cute that they call them rooms. I haven't downloaded it. I always do this classic thing where I let everyone else try it out first, and then I'll jump on later. Yeah. And I might be the one having a laugh

after being the last to jump on board. There's been a bit of drama with House Party. We want to talk about that soon. But next on the show, Comedians in Isolation. Yeah, we're going to be talking to a friend of the show, Tom Sainsbury, about where he is and what he's doing during this four-week lockdown. And when we're getting more gingerbread.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Comedians in isolation. We talked to Ursula Carlson, and we thought we'll talk to some other comedians about what it's like being in isolation. These are people that thrive on an audience, thrive on feedback.

It's there. The laughs are there. They're oxygen. The applause is there. Susten. The oxygen, the applause is there. Sustenance. And at the moment, maybe they're being deprived of it. And we're joined by Thomas Sainsbury. Good morning to you, Thomas.

Hi. Hi. My favourite. Now, how are you doing, Tom? Well, I just sort of come and knock on the window and come in and see you guys. But I'm Not allowed. No. I mean, we'd love to have you, but you might have something.

I know. And vice versa. Oh, yeah, totally. Yes, we could definitely be sullying the water. Are you in what part of the country are you in lockdown? Because you're from the rural, is it Matamata or Waikato area? And there's a lot of clusters there, Tom. I know.

Okay, so basically someone's issued me this article saying, look, Matamata, because Matamata's my hometown, and they're like, Matamata's the new epicenter for the coronavirus. And I read the article, and it was like the pub, so the local pub readout had an event there, and suddenly everyone's getting sick from that event and that was where

I did my show at that time. I was like, oh no, I'm the one that's brought down the coronavirus but thankfully

it was the St. Patrick's Day party, not my show. So what date was your show there? Like just, like a few days beforehand. I was like,

oh my gosh. Lucky. Oh my gosh. Lucky. Oh my gosh. I was thinking that would be just my luck, but then we kind of wasn't. Do you do like a meet and greet afterwards with everyone? Yes, I did. Meet and greet, hugs, kisses, making out with them all, you know. It's a matter of way. Wow. Okay, but are you

isolating there with your family or are you in Auckland? No, I'm in Auckland. God, I like how disgusted the very thought of that was. No. Exactly. Absolutely not. Right, but obviously are you keeping in contact with your people?

Because as you say, it's the epicentre. You want to know everyone's playing safe. It is. Okay, so my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law both have it. Can you believe this? Do they? Because of coronavirus. Yes, but they're on the mend already.

Okay. But they haven't given it to their family members. So I think that speaks volumes about the intimacy in my family. Because you said your brother-in-law and your sister-in-law both have it. Yes, but their partners. So my brother and my sister don't have it. But the people that they are married to do. Yes.

Is there some questions that need to be asked? I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. That is so weird that they wanted to have it. She's going to be an awkward Sainsbury's family Christmas. I know, it sure is. Oh my gosh. I guess us Sainsburys are just really distant. Distant partners. Wow.

But then good. There we go. Yeah. Wow, okay, okay. Are you going a bit crazy in isolation? Like obviously you've got a creative outlet with your social media channels. I do. I've been doing my own private concert,

well, no, my solo concert for my fans on Instagram. Yep. So I've been singing Dirty by Christina. I saw that one, yep. And then Sexy Chick, but, you know, the older version from Akon. And I also did Let's Get It. The original version of Let's Get It. Let's Get It, the original version of Let's Get It started by Black Eyed Peas.

Yeah, controversial. Yeah, great. Very controversial title, isn't it? Yes, it is. So you're kind of loving it because you're just getting to create content with no pressure to leave the house. Exactly, it's my dream come true.

You're not stuck in your hometown Where it's ripping through there You've got No, exactly You've got your distance from that Exactly I can just lie on my couch I think my only problem is motivation

You know, hours You just lie down on the couch And hours have suddenly gone by Yeah We're a week in now Have you done any Les Mills on TVNZ classes? No, absolutely not. Yeah, I've thought about them, but I certainly haven't given any a go.

I'm more into, yes, yes. Don't hate me, but the people want to know, when are we getting more gingerbread? I know. Megan, can you stop being a fangirl? Wow, I've been doing them every Monday, but I think I need to increase his kind of... Because what else are you doing?

You just said that you're lying on the couch and hours fly by. I know. Well, that's the problem. It's like when people are like ringing up for meetings and they want something from you, I've got no excuse. Yeah, because you can't say you're busy. No, you can't. calling like ringing up for meetings all they want from you i've got no excuse yeah because

you can't say you're busy yeah you can't yeah are you what how many zooms are you having how many zoom meetings i know zooming i didn't even know zooming existed a week ago but anyway so many zoom meetings like every day some kind of zoom meeting yeah yeah yeah man i'm avoiding them quite well i like to think I'm doing quite a good job Of not having to go To a Zoom meeting Yeah

Well hey thanks Thanks for having a chat to us This has been Oh I love you guys Yeah Oh we love you too That's um And yeah

Just keep a social distance From your family As apparently they do From each other Exactly Exactly Even when they're cohabitating Yeah

Unless Exactly Unless The Sainsbury's are immune. Oh. They might. They need to get me in. Yeah, they need to do some tests on me and find out what my antibodies are. Yes.

Even in a lab. Yes. Yes. A dissection. Exactly. Yes. Well, that sounds painful. All right, well, we'll put that forward to the CDC.

Thanks for joining us, Tom. Thank you, guys. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Past Party, it's the new app that everyone's downloading. It's more for social stuff, right? Because everyone's doing Zoom or Teams for business. It's not a business thing. No.

It's your friends. So everyone downloaded it. They were doing very well. Except Megan. Yeah, I haven't downloaded it yet. I don't want to invite. I don't like talking on the phone. And now this influx of like calling each other and FaceTiming.

I'm like, I can't do it. There's the worst part about House Party is that I got a notification that loves bombarding with notifications. Oh, you've got to turn those off. It's annoying. I got a notification and I was trying to get rid of it. I clicked on it accidentally. It opened up the app and then I was- You're videoing with them.

Yeah. No, but it wasn't even like that. I opened it up to clear the notification and then all of a sudden I was on another video chat with another friend and I was like, did I call you? And he said, no, it said you were in the house and I accidentally clicked on it and we've connected. I was like, but it didn't even ask me if I wanted to talk to you.

And he's like, I know it just doesn't. What if you were naked? Exactly. You've got to lock. You've got to, yeah, it's a crappy app. But you can't lock if it doesn't exist. Can you? I don't know if you can, yeah, I don't know.

It's a terrible app. You can't lock it until you're in the convo. It gives me so much anxiety when you guys are talking about it. Yeah. Because I just don't, I don't talk on the phone. I talk to my parents and my husband. Yeah. That's it. Because I just don't, I don't talk on the phone. I talk to my parents and my husband. Yeah. That's it.

So I just don't want to. Yeah, although on the Zoom Friday night drinks the other night you were getting into that. You must have had some daiquiris. She's actually white. Those daiquiris looked amazing.

I'd do it on later and you were just like, hey! I was like, whoa. I was drinking the last of the methylated spirits because I'm drunk, house dry,

and you were drinking daiquiris. Yeah. I bought a lot of frozen strawberries pre-lockdown. But house party, there was, in the past few days, there was a lot online, on socials, about there being a hack or that they were delivering details about the users. So this was Tuesday, kind of late Tuesday afternoon, this started spreading the news stories.

So on Twitter specifically, there were users claiming that Spotify, PayPal and iCloud accounts had been compromised and they were saying that Houseparty was to blame. So a lot of people then on trending, there was how to delete Houseparty account. That was a worldwide trend. Obviously, the House Party, the Epic Games, the creator

of the app, came out and were like, this is not true. They're the same people as Fortnite. So they, Fortnite, bought this app, yeah. So they had tweeted, we are investigating indications that the recent hacking rumours were spread by a paid commercial

campaign to harm House Party. We're offering a $1 million bounty for the first individual to provide proof of such a campaign to bountyathouseparty.com. Because there was a problem. I was asking people on that Tuesday night after the news broke

and all these stories were going around from New Zealanders and people that I knew. Oh yeah, my friends had money taken from their credit card. My friends had this. And there were lots of those. And I was trying to, like, so we could talk about it on the show, ask these people, who is this person?

Are they a friend of a friend or your friend? And they were like, oh, it's a friend of a friend. I don't have their name. And so it just kind of all these dead ends were starting. So we couldn't actually track down anyone who directly felt affected by it? No. Huh. There were, a friend had some friends that had some fraudulent credit card activity,

but it wasn't, they don't know if it was from that. They couldn't guarantee that it was from House Party. Yeah. Well, I say we launch a six-part investigative podcast. Called what? Well, I've got House Party of Lies. Yep. Loose Lips Sync Apps.

Yes. Which is kind of like the sub text of it. If you've just joined the show, Vaughan's been floating podcast ideas all morning. Well, I say we try and find the people who did this paid commercial smear campaign and get that million dollars. House Party of Cards. The story of the rise and fall of House Party.

Well, judging from the fact that I was on it yesterday, people are still using it. Yeah. But again, like any app, don't link your... Socials. Don't link your socials anyway. That's what I was talking about when I said to Sade,

oh, people are having money taken out of their account. And she's like, how are they getting into your online banking? Or even how would anyone get into your socials? You've always got to put two-factor authentication on. So you get a text or another device has to access that. Yeah. And then you can't go wrong. So, yeah.

As soon as you put it out there, then an app might be like getting into your details. A new one that came from nowhere that's super popular that everybody got. It's easy to freak people out and that you weren't careful enough when you downloaded that. Because I noticed people, a lot of people I knew, changed their passwords and also even deleted it because it would have like deleted user in my friends list. Oh, right. Yeah, so a lot of people I knew changed their passwords and also even deleted it because it would have deleted user

in my friends list. Yeah, so a lot of people did. So it definitely would have hurt them. I unlinked my other social accounts. Right. But that was all I did. Also, it's made by Epic Games. They're a massive company.

It's not like it's a random little app. They know what they're doing. Do they? If they do, they should make a bigger app. Well, I hope so. It's real clunky. Right. Still haven't downloaded it.

I haven't found the problem with the clunkiness that you're identifying. I don't know. It's just not very user. Aesthetically pleasing. Yeah, I don't know. Right. Yeah. I mean, it's fun.

I can't find the settings cog. Good to catch up with your mates. Yeah, that's what I mean. Where's the settings cog? It's there. You've got to go into the, yeah, it's just clunky. But I mean, it's good in the way that you can catch up with your friends. We're all isolated.

And, you know, it's given us a bit of fun that way. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. It's time for... Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the Olympics, which has been delayed until 2021. But then my question is, do we go on that four-year cycle now or is it going to be 2021 and then 2024?

Well, whoever was holding the next Olympics will still have the same amount of time to get ready. No, they would just do it at the same time, wouldn't they? So they do it at 2024? Yeah. This is really annoying because I'm peaking at my skeet shooting just in time for the Olympics. You say that, but imagine being an athlete.

I was peaking at my peaking. Yeah, so now I've got to hold off and peak later. But it's possible. I was reading today Wimbledon for the first time since World War II has been

postponed or cancelled. Postponed? That's crazy. The Wombles will be furious. Oh, shit. I think it's getting worse. Callback.

How's that for an ultimate niche reference? Remember the Wambles of Wimbledon. Wamblin' free. Don't say Wimpleton. Wamblin', Wambles are Wamblin' we. Wimbledon. Or something.

Not Wimpledon. Wimpleton. Wimpleton. Wimpledon. Wambles of Wimbledon. The Wambles and the Sisters. Who's at home time? Wambles.

Fame song. No, we don't need it. Don't we? Also, I only know about it because you've taught me about them. Yeah. I don't remember it looking so, like, budget. Hold on, there's an ad. It's about buying the right car.

Now's not the time. No one's going to a car yard in the current climate. Here we go. I don't know, Anya. I don't know. I honestly don't think I've ever heard this before. These boomer references

that we don't get. Oh, whatever. Is it sung by the Beatles? The Wombles are Wimbledon, Womble and Free. No, Wombles are we. The Wombles. It doesledon, Womble and Free. No, Wombles are we. The Wombles. It does sound like the Beatles, though.

They lived in Wimbledon. Am I saying that right? Yeah. And they picked up rubbish. And then the tenants came along and they got evicted. They just bulldozed. Bulldozed the Wombles. Wombles were dead.

Wombles were getting crushed left, right and centre. They were like, no, we only pick up... The diggers came in. That's just progress. Smashed them down. They were like, gentrification. Wombles were chaining themselves to diggers. Like Greenpeace workers on oil rigs.

Yeah, and people were like, oh, my God, the amount of Womble carcasses that are under that tennis court. I think about it every time I see someone playing tennis there. Roger Federer's got no idea what's under his Nikes. He really does. The bodies of Womble's spread. Shame on you, Rafael Nadal. Shame.

Shame. Where's that big bell? Where's the big bell? Behind you, behind you. Shame, Womble. People on the live stream are like, how does this relate to the Olympics? Shame. They bowled the Wombles.

You know what we need? You know what we need? An investigative podcast into the death of the Wombles. Yes. And modern day tennis players that will not recognise that they are playing on the site of genocide. Where Wombles once wombled free. Shame! What would the podcast be called?

Wombling No More? Wombling Wobbly Wobbly Wimbledon. You're a womble. Wombly Wimbledon. Yeah. The Untold Story. We'll have a think about that. Okay.

Did you do the fact of the day or no? No. I can't remember. We're only three minutes in. Of course I haven't done fact of the day. What's the age? Somebody's asking on their live chat, what's the age group that will remember the Wombles kids TV show?

Oh my absolute. Boomers. Boomers, yeah. People older than me. I just remember, I don't even remember much apart from, we had a Wombles book, which is probably why I remember it more. Right, okay. But then we got that off someone older than us. Yeah, right. I don't think they much apart from we had a Wombles book, which is probably why I remember it more. Okay.

But I think we got that off someone older than us. Yeah. I don't think it ran for that long. It was big in Britain. I will absolutely smash you with this bell. The Wombles. Shame. Anyway, it's a horrible thing. The Wombles are fictional pointy-nosed furry creatures

created by Elizabeth Beresford. And, okay, so the original TV was books. This is fact of the day. We're not doing Wombles. Yeah. See, somebody on the live chat, Cinder, who's 20, never seen the Wombles. Huh. Interesting.

Well, you've learned something today. I'm 29 and I've never seen the Wombles. You can't even work out how old you are. I can't be sure to trust that you've never seen a Wombles. You can't even work at how old you are. I can't be sure to trust that you've never seen a Womble. Today's fact of the day isn't about Wombles, although... Wombles!

No, stop. Carry on. I think of the children. I think of the ball boys running out to get the ball. They don't know what's buried underneath them. Corpses of Wombles, young and old.

You're only doing this because you haven't seen Ross Boss join the live stream today. He's obviously not listening. I think if he was there, this could go for three to four times as long. We'll test the limits. I know. Today's fact of the day is there is no city that has been turned down more in their Olympics bid than Detroit. Oh, yeah. Having been to Detroit, I can completely understand why. But it wasn't always. They originally tried in 1940. They won the 1940s game.

So in the 1930s, they had baseball, they had hockey, they had football teams, they had boxes from the area and they tried, but they failed. Then again, they tried for the 1944 games. They were told no. The 48 games, they failed. The 1952 games, sorry Detroit. The 1956 games, you'd be beginning at this stage to think maybe it was you and not them. Yeah, absolutely.

It's so cute. They kept trying though. When was the heyday of Motown and Ford? So like 50s and 60s was when it really took off in Detroit. They were massive. It was one of America's nearly the biggest cities in America. It was, yeah. Because that's why they had all those incredible mansions

that all went like... That were abandoned and derelict. 1950, Detroit was the wealthiest city in America. Yeah. Wow. And now that's what makes it so fascinating

all these documentaries about how it was just abandoned. Google the Detroit train station. Oh my God, it's beautiful. The Grand Central Station. It's incredible.

And it was just left to rot, basically. What? It's incredible. And people over the years have broken in and there's amazing Instagram accounts

you can follow on Instagram. Did you go visit it when you were there? Yeah, I was there in the 2000s and it was weird. Did you take photos of the Detroit train station? No, because it's always like fenced off. You've got to actually break in. It's like the major parts of the city are just like the red zone was in Christchurch. Just keep people out with temporary fences. I'd walk past like old skyscrapers

that in like the 50s or 60s would have been, like you say, the richest city in America and they're just abandoned. Yeah. No one's in there. It's the industry.

They tried again in the 1960s for the 1960 games. Apparently there was an amazing bid put together, one of their best bids, but again, they did not. Yeah.

Do they get feedback when they, or do they just get a no? Are they not like, hey, here's your work-ons. Persistently pushed on for the 1964 games. We're told no. 1968 was their eighth bid. Again, they didn't get it.

1972, they said, we'll do the 1972 games. That was officially bid nine. And they were told no again. So it was at that stage that they gave up. Yeah, because that's when they kind of started declining. Nine unsuccessful bids and pretty much sequential as well. All in a row.

It is you. It's not me. It is you. At that stage, you've got to be thinking it totally is. So today's fact of the day is that there's no city that's had more unsuccessful attempts at hosting the Olympics than Detroit. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Somebody's just messaged in saying that Wombles lived at Wimbledon Common

down the road from the tennis That's what they want you to think Yeah Big tennis has you believe that Big farmer Yeah Has covered this up This is colonialism

At it's absolute finest They're like No no remember You've always lived down there Yeah And then they take a generation of children Of Wombles The forgotten generation

Gone And then they move them on And they build a tennis arena And then the Wombles, the forgotten generation, gone. And then they moved them on and they built a tennis arena and then the Wombles are like, maybe we have always lived here. 23 minutes. Megan has got the... Left in this shit. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.

Homeschool. Homeschool. We're setting you assignments. We give you one day to do the assignment on a subject. We all pick a subject and you pick which subject you would like to do your assignment on. Yesterday, Jackson called us and wanted to do his assignment on Fletcher's topic, water locks. Yes. Now, you often see them in canals.

If you've been to the UK, the canal system's all through the country. The Panama Canal. Yeah. That's a water lock, a big one. You can get a boat over a hill if there's a water lock on it. Exactly. And Megan didn't even know what one was. A lot of people didn't.

I was just wondering if it's a water lock in a key or a water lock. We get in there and it locks. No, no, lock is Scottish for lake. Oh, okay. This lock is you get locked in there. Lock the water in. You lock the water in. Well, Jackson, you had 24 hours to do some research on water locks.

How did that 24 hours go for you? Yeah, it was very good. You've pretty much done half my presentation there, so that's good. Oh, I'm very sorry about that. Oh, you did? You've ruined the specs. Because I said you could get up a hill. Sorry.

Yeah, no, I was just trying to just, okay. Well, hey, that's all right, Jackson. Don't. I've got plenty of information. You've got plenty. It has been great researching, actually. Okay. There's lots out there.

So there you go. People are very interested in them, so. Thank you. It was a great subject. Well, they were a fascinating feat of engineering. Vaughan. Shut up. Stop ruining his presentation.

I was just saying why people are fascinated by them. Jackson, you have one minute now to present to us and the nation water locks. Please go now. All right. So imagine this. You're travelling along the river and there's a hill in the way as the river flows over. Now, this is where you need your water lock. So how it works, you drive on through the first gate.

That shuts behind you. Then the gate ahead of you will then open at the bottom, allowing water to flow through and the level of the water now rises up. When the level of the water rises to the same height as your desired height, then the pressure will be even and you'll be able to flow through and continue on your journey. Think of it like an elevator, but for boats with water. Yes! So one thing, obviously you can do it with small boats,

but now they obviously do it with massive boats and ships and containers with Panama canals and travel the whole continent. The largest, world's largest lock is in Belgium. It's 500 metres long, 68 metres wide, 17 metres deep. And Leonardo da Vinci, he invented the miter lock, which is still used very commonly today. For you that are handymen like Fletch and Vaughan, you'll know a miter joint.

It's very similar. So you put your hands together. This is the interactive part of the course. Put your hands together, and then like you're going to clap and then touch your fingertips together. Now you've kind of got like a point. Now that's what a miter lock looks like. Now the water will be pushing against the outside of your hands, keeping it to the pressure against the lock, keeping it closed. And then when water flows through, it'll hit the inside of your hands and then open up in a way you can go in your boat.

Brilliant. Wow. Let's just go to Executive Intern Anya who just looked so educated throughout that entire presentation. I was apprehensive about the water lock topic. Shame. Shame on me. But boy did I learn something.

That was great Jackson. That was really good Jackson. Your enthusiasm made me enthused, you know.. So was I. That was great, Jackson. That was really good, Jackson. And your enthusiasm made me enthused, you know? Oh, that's good. And he explained it in simpleton terms, you know? I loved the elevator for boats. Yeah, that was good. He explained it in simple terms, not

simpleton terms. What's a simpleton? Simpleton's a horrible way of describing somebody. Oh no, no, not that. He didn't do that. Oh, God. In layman's terms. Jackson, I am giving you, because this was my subject and I am very impressed with your homework, an A-plus on that. Probably my first ever A-plus.

Thanks, Greg. Good, yes. I'm going to give you an A-plus too because we had multimedia in there. We had actions to do. We did. We had a great way of explaining it. I loved your explanations. Vaughan? I had actions to do. We did. We had a great way of explaining it. I loved your explanations. Vaughan, I'm going to give you an A.

God, you're so hard to impress. I'll take it. That's really, really good. You got better marks than Emily. Yes. Well done. Congratulations. What a great edition of homeschool.

Will we do this again? I think we'll have to do this again. I think we should do this every day. We have to learn something from both our we should do this every day we should alright thank you so much Jackson we will be sending you a PDF

certificate of achievement in the email post on email on email print print out

post lockdown ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast that is our show today be safe out there. Be nice to people. Yes.

Be kind. I went out for a bike ride around my place. Did a little couple of loops on the old bicycle for some exercise. Saw the police telling people at the beach to go home. Like this old lady had a dick chair, her sun umbrella. Yeah. And the cop was like, go home. And then coming back, another little bay, the police had to tell a group of like 30 or 40 people,

this is yesterday, to go home. Oh, good God. But we saw them on the news all debating with the police about why they should be there. Nutso. Did you see the guy driving along the beach towing wakeboards In the water

What? No And the police sent him out And one of his excuses Because there's an article On all the excuses The police have had After one week of

Lockdown He's like I was just clearing out Some room in the garage How is that even A relevant excuse? Yeah no it's not Nuts

Content, they do. Run us through our list today. Well, we've got a name for our Wombles podcast. If you've been listening, in fact of the day we talked about the Wombles and how they were just murdered in their hundreds of thousands to make room for a tennis court. Court of Corpses.

Wimbledon's Dark Past. Yes. Orn and Glory. That's our podcast where we look into man, you reckon my handwriting's bad. The rise of boomer mobile sex cults. Yeah, because they all get in their sex caravans.

And they like congregate in their mobile homes and that and different paddocks around the country and well, it all happens there. Elskotowels, a history of being so fresh and so clean clean. How do they get into your work kitchenette? We investigate that in a four part

limited series podcast. What else? Well, of course, yesterday we established Power to the People, the Vector Arena story. How did Vector, the Lions company, have the money to sponsor a major arena for so long? I'm looking forward to producing that podcast.

Flagpole Sitter, an investigation into why Harvey Danger's for so long. That's right. I'm looking forward to producing that podcast. Yeah. Flagpole Sitter, an investigation into why Harvey Danger's Seminole Classic Flagpole Sitter is not available on New Zealand Spotify.

Did he reply to you? You messaged the lead singer. No, not yet. Not yet. Is he a big Twitter user? He tweeted on March 30th. Okay.

He's based in Texas now. And we're still working on that one about washing your idle hands. That was about how idle hands are the devil's tools or something, right? Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. Yeah, that was a work in progress. Should I scratch it? I'm scratching it. Say scratch that.

All right, have a great rest of your day. We'll catch you back tomorrow from sex.
