ZM. Head music. Live ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Just behind the scenes.
We've delved into our internet usage to find out how much internet we're using at home.
And I've just, I'm with Orcon. I can pull up an app, and since lockdown, look at my bar graph. Whoosh.
It's massive.
Yeah.
There's one day that you're just like absolutely chomping it.
Yeah, I don't know if that was downloading Call of Duty.
It would have been.
Maybe, yeah.
See, because there's 20 gigs in one day.
You remember my week-long efforts to get Call of Duty on rural broadband?
One, two, three, four, five, six, and then it's dropped back down.
And there's probably a couple of Fortnite updates in there as well.
So how much do you use in your house of four people?
What's your average?
Average daily usage, 21.29 gigs.
I'm 7.7 gigs.
I remember when I was flatting, our
monthly internet was 35
gigs, and that was for like six people
in our flat. And occasionally we'd
go over it. And we're using 21
a day.
But that's the thing, you get faster internet
like Fiverr, and you just use more
of it. Yeah.
So my predicted usage, because
I was talking to the neighbour, because we
have rural broadband, which is hard
to say.
And he's like, oh yeah, we've got this really fast
one. It's $150 for
120 gigs. I was like, ooh, I reckon
we might be a bit over 120 gigs, Ray.
319 gigs
predicted usage.
A little bit over.
Wow.
Two and a bit.
Oh, there's so much Netflix in that.
Do you know I didn't even leave the house yesterday?
Didn't you?
Like, I know that we're not meant to.
But like for a walk or something.
To the supermarket or a walk, yeah.
And then like last night I was like, oh my God, I haven't actually left the house today.
What was your clothing like?
Like were you in pyjamas?
Undies most of the day.
Yes, I'll play, I'll play. Undies, just undies.
Yep. And then it was
like, I had to go to, well I was like, I better
get ready for bed. It was like 9.20 and I was like
I better have a shower for the day too. I was like
not a good day yesterday.
Not a good day. Yeah.
Sounds like a great day. Yep.
I haven't had a day yet where I've stayed
in jammies all day.
Well, we've got, um, we weather's meant to pack up on midweek-ish.
And we've got two weeks off.
Yeah.
It'll definitely happen in there.
I reckon we aim for it.
Okay.
We'll stay in contact.
Jammies day.
Cool.
I'm going to have to do my yard work in my jammies, but that's all right.
All right.
Winnie the poodle in the lawn will look great.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's been twins born in India
and their names are what has caught everyone's attention.
So on the 27th of March, they were born,
which is three days after the nationwide lockdown.
That began on the 24th of March in India.
Yep.
So the woman was rushed to hospital on a motorbike.
Yeah.
On a motorbike.
Husband rushed her to hospital on a motorbike.
How do you do that when you're doubling?
You kind of have to...
She has to turn around and face backwards.
You strap her on.
That's true.
Right.
Because then if the baby's born,
it's brought onto that little carrier at the back.
Unless she does the driving and he's on the back.
Fair call. Yeah. Fair call.
Yeah.
Fair call.
That's pretty actually handier for the belly.
Yeah.
They said with vehicular movement stopped,
so you're not even allowed to drive around in India.
I don't think so.
I think it's nationwide lockdown.
Yeah, it's essential only, I think.
So they said it was quite difficult to get to the hospital,
but they did make it on motorbike.
They had quite a few difficulties, very little assistance.
And then they decided to name their fraternal twins after the pandemic
to remind them of the difficulties they've faced in this time in their lives.
Oh, God.
Why would you want your twins to be a reminder of the difficulty?
Okay, brace yourself.
They are Corona and COVID.
Not even,
I was expecting something
a little bit more subtly,
like Quarren and Teen.
Sure, right.
Teen, if you met Teen by themselves.
Or Lock and Down.
Yeah.
ISO and Bubble.
Yeah.
ISO and Lation.
Yeah.
No.
Social and distancing. I'm Social. Really? And distancing.
I'm trying to find out.
COVID and Corona.
Which one?
I think, which one's which?
I think the boy is Corona and the girl is COVID.
Right.
COVID, if you didn't have any, could be cool if you didn't.
COVID kind of sounds like an Indian name.
Yeah, right.
Sounds like a movie star's name, doesn't it?
Yeah.
COVID Smith.
Yeah.
There you go.
That's not probably, I don't know how popular the name Smith is in India.
No.
Yeah, true.
Coming this summer in Bollywood's biggest release, it's COVID Patel in.
Yes.
Isolation.
Right.
That could work.
Yeah.
COVID Patel actually rolls off the...
That really does.
Very nicely.
Although let's not be too quick to judge India and these twins' names
because we have on our box...
A long history of terrible names.
Now, do we have...
I know that Benson and Hedges were banned.
That didn't go through.
Black and Decker was allowed though, as I recall.
Yeah.
The twins.
We've got twins in New Zealand Called Black and Decker
There's more too
What else is there?
There was that bus stop
The one named after the bus stop
The twins
Bus and stop
No no no
It was just named like
Number 32
Oh right
Remember it was named after
A bus stop
I just googled New Zealand's weirdest names
but it's just like bringing me up like 20 worst
baby names. Oh okay, this is
20 worst baby names of 2019
revealed. But that's
international. See like
at least the pandemic is all consuming
and it has really greatly affected their lives
and like what's
Black and Decker's excuse?
You really like
their drills. Huge fan of the
power tools. Well you don't see too many
Black & Decker anymore.
There's that famous list
this is on the Huffington Post of baby names
that were tried in New Zealand that
have been banned. Yeah.
So there were six requests for Lucifer
from 2001 to 2013.
Tallulah does the hula from Hawaii.
That's right.
A New Zealand family court took custody of the nine-year-old girl
so that her name could be changed.
Anal.
Someone tried to name their child Anal.
That may be Anal, but it's about exactly the same.
Chuck another N in there.
Maybe a, what is that thing called? Well, it's like about exactly the same. Chuck another N in there. Maybe a...
Well, it's like a mile Clooney.
Yes.
She's very close. But that's a whole
letter difference, Megan. Yeah, I know, but yeah.
And we don't call it a mile, do we?
We call it
Emil.
Baron.
Exactly. Like Baron Trump
That's the little lady
Stallion
Okay
So Stallion's
Tried
What
Sex fruit
In 2008
What
Some people shouldn't be allowed
To have kids
That's the fruit of their sex
They're just doing it
Literal
Oh my god
Sex fruit
Four real
But four as in the number
And then real
That was
There's been
It had been denied request.
Rogue, like the X-Men character.
Fish and Chips.
Apparently someone tried to name their twins Fish and Chips.
I don't know if your name was Fish or Chips.
Constable.
Which one would you rather?
Fish or Chips.
Because at least you could shorten Chips to like Chip. Sounds like, yeah, Chip. It sounds like a nickname or chips? Because at least you can shorten chips to like chip.
Sounds like, yeah, chip.
It sounds like a nickname.
Fish, you should shorten it to fee.
Like Fiona.
Right.
Fee and chip.
Sure.
Saint, Princess, Twisty Poi.
Someone tried to name their kid Twisty Poi.
There's all the titles like Sir and Justice.
Someone tried to call their kid Queen Victoria
Keenan got Lucy
I don't know what that was
Somebody just a full stop
Yeah there's been a few
Really we can't throw stones can we
Because we live in a glass house
Next on the show
West Aucklanders have ruined it for everybody
No West Aucklanders haven't ruined it for everybody
Aucklanders have ruined it for West Aucklanders Z West Aucklanders haven't ruined it for everybody.
Aucklanders have ruined it for West Aucklanders.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
So in West Auckland, there's a thing called the licensing trust,
and it means that you can't buy booze in the supermarket.
You've got to go to only liquor stores.
Same in Southland, right?
Yes.
Southland licensing.
Yes. That's why they have all those nice stadiums.
Yeah, you might be like,
how's Invercargill got an indoor netball stadium?
And Tim Shadbolt.
Well, yeah, he doesn't come for nothing.
And a velodrome and that sort of stuff.
Well, it's through this.
And so that, I don't know how,
because it always seemed a bit sketchy,
but West Auckland was allowed to keep their booze stores open
as there's no beer, wine or cider in the supermarkets.
Yeah, right.
Which is all you can buy in the supermarkets.
You can't buy RTDs in the supermarkets.
You can't buy straight bottles of Jack Daniels in the supermarkets.
No.
However, because these liquor stores were staying open
and you could just walk in,
you could buy the spirits there.
Yeah, right.
So it's a bit of a spirits there. Yeah, right.
So it's a bit of a loophole.
Oh, it's a glaring loophole.
Now, on Friday, I did the week shop.
I stopped on the way home from work and I did the weekly shop.
You missed our meeting, didn't you?
I can't believe,
Fletch rings me, he's like,
why are you at staff meeting on Zoom?
And I was like,
it's not time for staff meeting.
It took me so long to do the shop.
And I tried to join the Zoom. Everyone was in the staff meeting the shop. And I tried to join the Zoom.
Literally everyone
was in the staff meeting
apart from you.
I tried to join the Zoom
and that number
wouldn't work.
Anyway.
So anyway.
Everyone else managed
to do it.
Pretty riveting staff meeting.
It did take Bree a while.
But she got there.
But she figured it out.
She got there.
Well, I was in the
supermarket loading up
my trolleys onto the
conveyor belt.
I said to the girl,
I was like,
I'm really, really sorry.
This is very rude. I'm going to try to, I was like, I'm really, really sorry. This is very rude.
Yeah.
I'm going to try to go on my phone.
She's like, absolutely fine.
I've dealt with far ruder this morning already.
And I said, well, that makes me sad to hear.
And then I couldn't get through.
I was like, no need to be rude.
I can't get that to work.
And then afterwards, I got petrol.
Yeah.
Now, right beside the petrol station At Westgate
In West Auckland
The Z
Is one of these
West liquor outlets
Right
The line
To get into the booze store
At my estimates
Five times as long
As pack and save
Next door
Like pack and save line
Was kind of long
But it was moving
And
There was not
Nearly as many people
Lined up to go
And get their groceries Yeah At 10.30am on Friday morning as there was to get into the booze store.
The line was insane.
Now, I thought, West Aucklanders love a drink.
It's Friday.
That explains it. Then I read later in the day that Aucklanders were flooding from all over the greater Auckland area
to get to West Auckland booze stores because of this loophole that you could still buy spirits.
That makes sense to me because my local one as well, there's always a line.
Even when the supermarket, there's no queue.
Any time of the day you go to the supermarket, there is always a big queue for the liquor store.
And I couldn't understand why.
Well, because people have been boozing their way
through this lockdown to numb the pain.
And people have been travelling from all over Auckland
to come to these liquor stores.
Well, someone has tightened up the sphincter of the loophole.
The liquor store sphincter has been tightened.
The liquor store sphincter has been tightened.
Is that an operation?
Is that just a stitch or is it?
I don't know.
I think it's just a squeeze, I think.
You ought to be careful.
Kegels.
Kegels.
Liquor store kegels.
Liquor store kegels.
The sphincter has been tightened.
And you can only buy what you could buy in a supermarket now.
Beer, wine.
Beer, wine, cider.
The smart thing was they didn't tell anybody what was about to happen.
Yeah. Because you imagine the rush that it was about to happen. Yeah.
Because you imagine the rush that would have been in there.
Yeah.
That whole situation.
So now you can only buy at those what you can buy at the supermarkets.
Right.
But what if you ask them nicely?
Just slip them a 50.
Or what do you reckon they're doing putting up with some of those?
Do you remember when supermarkets couldn't sell?
Maybe it's still the situation.
Supermarkets couldn't sell booze on a Sunday and they had those pull-down screens.
That's right.
But it was like tinting on a bus window.
Like it was just that tiny honeycomb pattern.
And if you looked really close, you could see through it.
Yeah.
You can see some line red through there.
But no, it's Sunday.
The Lord's Day.
And the Lord doesn't drink red wine.
ZM's Fletch Warner Sunday, the Lord's Day. And the Lord doesn't drink red wine.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Hilary Barry, I think a couple of Fridays ago,
the Friday just gone would have been the second, I believe,
of formal Friday, a working from home excuse to get out of your pyjamas and put on a frock.
Yeah, something nice like a suit even.
You're stuck at home, but why not dress up?
You know, treat yourself.
Hillbaz has been leading the charge, many people joining her.
And it actually received some international recognition from Jimmy Kimmel.
Tomorrow, I and hopefully you will be dressing up for a special occasion known as Formal Friday.
My wife Molly came up with this idea a couple of weeks ago to give ourselves some sense of normalcy.
Even if you're alone, put on something nice once a week on Friday.
Get all gussied up to eat Hot Pockets from the back of the freezer.
Formal Friday has even become a thing in New Zealand.
A TV host over there named Hillary Barry posted this photo asking, too much?
No, not at all.
Oh, great. Yeah. Share the photo, Hillbaz, not at all. Oh, great.
Yeah.
Share the photo of Hillbaz all dressed up.
American talk shows at home with no audience are so weird.
I know, just not hearing laughter.
Yeah.
It is bizarre.
And you're seeing all their homes.
Are you judging any celebrities' homes?
Just all of them.
I mean, they're all better than mine, but it's still weird to see behind the scenes.
You're getting this massive peek into these.
You'd never normally see their houses.
I'm not a huge fan of Jimmy Kimmel's feature wallpaper
in that room behind him in his home.
Oh, really?
Very floral.
Yeah.
Like, a bit too much for me.
What if a plane?
Right, well, I'm sure maybe give him some feedback.
Should I message him?
Yeah. He'd probably love to hear from me. Sure. All right, Megan automatic? Right, well I'm sure maybe give him some feedback. Should I message him? Yeah.
He'd love to hear from me. Sure.
Alright, Megan, you've got the latest next.
If you've finished Tiger King and you're feeling withdrawals,
I've got some news for you next.
ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.
The latest.
So,
if you've been watching Tiger King
on Netflix, and
maybe you've finished it and you're feeling withdrawals
I did
because I absolutely
smashed it out
like a couple of weeks ago
I know
Well Vaughan
you're drip feeding it
aren't you?
No just finished
just finished
just finished it the weekend
Well you haven't
So apparently
we are getting
another episode
Jeff Lowe
who is
the new owner
of the zoo
Oh the dude
who loves an Oakley hat
with a bandana underneath
Yes And a very We were like yeah he really knows his one look eh is the new owner of the zoo. Oh, the dude who loves an Oakley hat with a bandana underneath.
Yes.
And a very... We were like, yeah,
he really knows his one look, eh?
Yeah.
Just really...
Different bandanas to go with different outfits.
Yeah.
Yep, that guy.
So he is the new owner.
He announced that there's going to be
another episode in video,
which was going to a guy
that plays the Los Angeles Dodgers
who is a massive fan.
It's really weird.
Take care, guys.
We love you.
Netflix is adding one more episode.
We'll be on next week.
Next week, yeah.
We're filming here tomorrow.
Take care, stay safe, and put your mask on.
He said filming here tomorrow.
So is it like an update on?
Yeah.
I was quite keen to see how that park turned out.
I like a lot of earthworks.
They were really getting in there with the digger.
Mind you, he wasn't doing bugger all, was he?
No.
Would they be allowed to go to prison and interview Joe Exotic?
I don't know.
Over the phone, they'd probably kill him.
Somebody has, but that was through the glass, wasn't it?
Yeah.
Hmm. Oh, I can't wait. I don't know when we're going to get it in Somebody has, but that was through the glass, wasn't it? Yeah. Hmm.
Oh, I can't wait.
I don't know when we're going to get it in New Zealand, but like.
What's their filming next week?
That's a quick turnaround.
No.
It'll be surely longer than that.
It'll take ages.
He said it was dropping.
Didn't he say it was coming soon?
At the start of this?
Yeah, but he said dropping.
I don't know if you watched the show, but that guy talks an insane amount of shit.
A lot.
Yeah, that's true.
All the time.
That is the latest.
For more, go to ZM Online.
Top six is coming up.
Yeah, the top six clocks
that are going to be wrong
for the next six months.
Daylight savings yesterday.
Good time for daylight savings.
Isolation, when time doesn't really matter anyway.
Yeah.
But the top six clocks
that will be wrong for six months.
And next, if you are having weird dreams in isolation,
you are not the only one.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Have you had more dreams that you remember during lockdown?
Because I definitely have.
Not weird, I always have weird, weird dreams.
But I feel like I'm remembering them every night.
I don't know.
I've been obviously having a lot of cheese,
so that never helps.
Cheese dreams.
Yeah, maybe that's a direct relation.
Because, you know, that's what they say.
You have lots of cheese before bed.
Always have weird dreams.
I saw that ad last night for changing your smoke alarm batteries
because it's daylight savings.
And they said when you sleep, you lose your sense of smell.
And I really thought about it when I was watching the ad.
And then last night, my dreams were pretty much all scent based.
Really?
Yeah, right.
Okay.
Because I guess you lose the ability to smell what's around you, but your brain can still
perceive what a scent is.
Yeah.
Do you guys have that dream when you really need to go wheeze and you keep dreaming about
going to the toilet?
Yeah.
And then you wake up and you freak out and you're like,
oh my God, fuel.
I didn't wet the bed as an adult.
Fuel.
So, yeah, everyone's having a lot more dreams in isolation.
A dream expert is actually, has,
I'm trying to think, a dream expert actually, her title?
We'll just go with that.
Dreamologist.
Margaret is her name.
She's a dreamologist.
And she's been discussing why we're remembering more of our dreams
and even into what a few of them mean.
So this is science then.
Vaughan, it's not 5G towers.
Calm down.
No, it's not like eerie fairy stuff.
It's quite literal, these examples.
Can you just hold your cynicism for two seconds?
I'll hold it.
So when there is anxiety in your life,
you're obviously taking it to bed
and you don't get rid of it as soon as you go to sleep.
So right down to individual crisis
that might be going on in your lives, but this is obviously
on everyone's mind. Yeah.
So everyone's thinking about it when
they go to bed. So we're dreaming
a lot more and we're having different
types of dreams. See, that makes sense.
Because we're all a bit anxious. Definitely had some
weird COVID dreams.
Do you remember what yours were about? Nah.
So there's one... Are they sexy? Who's having sexy COVID dreams. Do you remember what yours were about? Are they sexy?
Who's having sexy COVID dreams?
No, but I was just thinking
he's not allowed to play around
like he usually does.
Excuse me.
There's a yearning.
Oh, right.
That's underlying.
Yeah, right.
Right.
So one that some people might be experiencing
is when you are trying to shake something off your body.
So it might be a spider.
It might be like a dog, a big wet dog jumps on you
and you're like, get off me.
Anything where you're like, get off my body.
Apparently that's because we're trying to avoid
getting contaminated by the virus.
We're all trying to isolate and don't touch me.
I got bitten by a rat in my dream last night. Oh, there you to isolate and don't touch me. Don't.
I got bitten by a rat in my dream last night.
Oh, there you go.
So you just caught it in my finger.
Ah, get off.
No, I was trying to hold on to it because I needed to get it to somewhere
where I could kill it.
But it was biting me.
So I was like, oh.
But then afterwards,
I did have great concern as to what.
Yeah, right.
You might be experiencing missing a phone call,
being late or turning up to something
and you've missed it.
And that's because all our schedules are out of whack.
You're not going to work.
You're not going to meetings.
So that can be to do with your anxieties around that.
See, it's not eerie, fairy-vorn.
Missing family members.
So you might dream that your family members have passed away or your animals have
passed away or someone who you're not
in close contact with that you usually would
be. That's where that
anxiety comes from. So it's literally just
our everyday lives that are being
transferred to our dreams.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast.
Next on the show, the Top 6.
What's on the Top 6, Vaughan?
Well, coming up in the top six,
I'll tell you
in the top six
something.
What is it?
The clocks.
Something about your clocks
being wrong.
The top six clocks
that are wrong
for daylight savings.
Vaughn's making a coffee.
Well, here he goes.
We're on air.
We're just teasing
your segment, mate.
I heard that
from the office.
What did you hear?
And you still came in
at a glacial pace. How do you hear? And you still came in at a glacial pace.
How do you think?
Thank you.
That's actually very speedy given the current global warming situation.
You were moving slower than a senior citizen on a pedestrian crossing.
Well, I had a hot cup in my hand.
I was.
I heard that.
It was all true.
We take none of it back.
The top six is next.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
From the ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello there.
Today's top six, the top six clocks that will be wrong for the next six months.
Daylight savings yesterday.
A lot of clocks,
probably half of the clocks you own automatically update,
your phone, your watch.
If you've got a flash watch, otherwise it's manual.
I'm one of those people that just leaves the clocks flashing
at whatever time the appliance was last turned off.
Yes.
That's a classic.
Yeah.
Also, the minute you say that, it's the when you say,
I've got a power cut.
Yeah. That's the universal sign say that, it's when you say, I've had a power cut. Yeah.
That's the universal sign of someone's about to ask you
if you've had a power cut.
So the top six clocks will be wrong for the next six months.
Number six, the clock in your kid's Barbie house.
That thing's never right.
I've looked at it and I was like,
how can it always be 10 to 2, Barbie?
Or...
Is it an actual clock?
Well, it's a little stickery clock on the wall.
Hey, but it's right twice a day.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, even a broken clock's right twice a day.
It's true, man.
It's true.
Number five on the list of the top six clocks
that'll be wrong for the next six months,
the one in your car.
No one ever changes that, eh?
I have one.
I have got two, and I can change one of them,
and I have no idea how to change the other.
So one where the radio thing is,
and one where I'm looking when I drive.
Oh.
And I can change one easily.
Oh, now you've got it.
You've got to press the button that you press
to start your kilometres again.
There'll be a way to...
No, that's the one at my dashboard.
I've got that one fine.
The one by the radio, no idea how to change it.
Blows my mind every time there's daylight savings.
I have to completely relearn how to do it.
You think having the car that long and doing it twice a year,
you're like, oh, I'll remember how to do this next time.
But the next time you're like, oh, God, what do I do?
You just leave it.
Leave it a lot of the time.
Number four on the list of the top six clocks.
It'll be wrong for the next six months.
Your parents parallel imported Huawei phone,
but that's mostly because it has its time zone set to Wuhan.
That's something you're going to get asked about.
Yeah.
Can you imagine all the tech problems your parents are going to have
when this isolation's over?
Oh, my God, yeah.
I've been asked about a few,
but I'm like, look,
is it super urgent or can it wait?
I think Dad got his bloody
Netflix working again last night
because he couldn't use it last night because everyone on the family
was on it. Too many screens.
I was going to update for him and be like,
update to premium.
Oh yeah, choose it up.
It's been so good because his Netflix
has been broken
so they haven't broken.
Just deal with it.
Slash didn't know
how to use it.
I mean,
or you could just
pay for it yourself.
Yeah.
Do you reckon
they'd even notice?
Comes off mum's credit card,
she wouldn't know.
No, what, no,
Fletch is saying
pay for it yourself.
Oh.
Like get your own
Netflix account.
Absolutely not.
Pay for it yourself
using your parents'
credit card to upgrade
your existing plant and wall screens. Isn't paying for it yourself using your parents' credit card to upgrade their existing
plant and wall screens.
Isn't paying for it
yourself?
Real independency,
Megan.
Yeah.
Number three on the
list of the top six
clocks that will be
wrong for six months
are your town's
local clock tower thing.
Yeah.
You know how all
small towns have
a little clock?
Yeah.
Morrinsville really
splashed out and
decided to get a
clock to go in a cow?
No. It's actually a very good call. They should have one out and decided to get a clock to go. In a cow? No.
It's actually a very good call.
They should have one of those giant cows with a clock in it.
Yeah, and its belly.
And the tail is tick, tick, tick.
Oh, that would be super cute.
And it moves, yeah.
That would be super cute.
Now, we've got a digital clock.
It's on the corner of Thames Street and Stadham Street.
Does it switch between the temperature?
Yeah, it does.
And then every time you drive past, mum's like, oh, it's a degree warmer today.
No, it's always so wrong with the temperature.
It's not even funny.
Mum's listening to the show.
She said, I don't know if you update.
Watch her Netflix.
Nah, she won't.
Nah, she won't.
Not for a while.
Not for a while.
Number two on the list of the top six clocks
that'll be wrong for the next six months.
The microwave clock.
Yeah.
Unless you're up at midnight one night
and then switch it off at the wall
and switch it back on again.
And then not only do you have the right time,
but you have,
it flashes.
Set your alarm
so that you can get up at midnight
and turn it off and on
and then go back to sleep.
Yeah, off and on,
back to sleep,
and it's at the right time.
Great idea.
Easy peasy.
And number one on the list
of the top six clocks
that'll be wrong for the next six months,
every clock on the Chatham Islands.
I've got a problem with the Chatham Islands.
What's your problem?
New Zealand, right?
Yeah.
Fall in line.
Is it not under us?
What is it there?
Right now, the time in the Chatham Islands is 7.37am.
What?
It's a little bit ahead of us.
I've got a problem now.
It's a little bit before us. 45 minutes ahead of us. It's a little bit ahead of us. I've got a problem now. But it's a little bit before us.
45 minutes ahead of us.
It's a little bit before us.
It's 7.43 now, so yes.
But go even.
It's 45 minutes ahead of us.
Why?
Fall in line.
I've got an issue now too.
Just have it so that your son comes up a little bit earlier.
God, I wish you didn't tell me that.
I know.
Does Gisborne stick out further than the Chatham Islands?
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Well, then they deserve
to be ahead of us.
That would be like
Gisborne saying,
sorry, New Plymouth,
we're nipping forward
half an hour.
Yeah.
And New Plymouth saying,
well, if you're nipping
forward half an hour,
we're falling behind
10 minutes.
It's not even.
And Wellington's just like,
guys, stop being silly.
We're right in the middle here.
Yeah.
And Kai Tai's like, where do we stand on this issue?
Yeah.
There's a lot.
Just everybody just, I'm just the Chathams that have fallen in line.
There's not that many of you.
For the greater good.
Yeah.
Please be on the same time as us.
It bothers me that New Zealand has two time zones.
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
That is today's Top 6.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I do like it. That is today's Top 6.
Coming up, we're going to talk to Lauren,
who was set homework on Friday for homeschool.
She was given the topic of daylight savings,
so she's going to report back to us. Oh, how physical.
Very topical.
Very topical.
A one-minute report on daylight savings.
Let's hope she did her homework.
Before that, we're going to be talking to somebody else.
His name's Jack,
and you may have seen him and his family doing the lockdown boogie.
Family lockdown boogie online.
So, because that's an original number, isn't it?
It's not like, yeah, they just took a song and, like, they wrote the song.
No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's incredible.
Wrote it, recorded it.
There's a music video.
There's a dance.
As of this morning, 3.5 million views for
the lockdown boogie. My mum would not have let us
dance on the bench. Oh my god, there's a scene where they're up on the bench.
Absolutely not.
But mum's up on the bench as well. They must have loose
bench rules in this house. You know, the minute that
scene was finished filming, mum would have had the spray
and wipe out. Give me that. Far right.
Well, I hope this video goes
well, Jack, because we've been up on the bench.
We'll talk to Jack next. Also coming up on the bench We'll talk to Jack next
Also coming up on the show
The Queen is about to deliver an address
And you know she only ever does the Queen's message at Christmas
I'll say it now
What?
I've got a prediction
What?
She's stepping down
Nah
It's going to be one of those
Let's get through this kind of rousing
She's not going to step down now
Too much uncertainty.
I'll go on record. It's a
wild bet, but if it pays off.
Well, what's going to happen? You're going to feel smug and right.
And there is no greater
reward. Well, we'll update you with
the Queen's message once that's come out.
Are we not going live with it?
I love the Queen's message.
I love Christmas. Nothing says Christmas
like sitting down and watching you. Right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and I love the Queen's message. I love Christmas. It takes so long to get to the point.
Yeah, she does.
It was on.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
We're going to talk now about a New Zealand video that's gone viral.
3.5 million views.
Yeah.
It's called The Family Lockdown Boggie.
We're stuck here in the house for the next four weeks or so.
And we won't be going out because the government said no.
Just my mother and my father and my sister and me and little Maisie too.
So for the family sanity, can't you see what we must do?
Hey, Graham.
Yeah?
Do you want to move?
I want to move.
Hey, Joe.
Yo.
Can you feel the groove?
So up to 3.5 million views, we have to talk to the creator.
Jack joins us on the phone now.
Good morning, Jack.
Morning, guys.
How you doing?
Good, mate.
How does it feel to have 3.5 million views?
It feels absolutely so strange.
I can't get my head around it.
Do Joe and Graham have any idea how intense this is, how big this has gone?
Yeah, I think they're
both pretty blown away as well.
Yeah, it's been a crazy
weekend. We've all been
locked to our phones and our laptops
just giggling as the views go up.
It's just so silly.
How long did this take
to film?
We shot the video over about four different evenings.
Because, I mean, as you can see, there's a lot of costume changes to get through.
A lot of different setups.
Yeah, so about four different evenings we filmed it
and I sort of started editing after we finished shooting each night.
Who was hard work in the choreographer routines?
Dad? I wouldn't say he was hard work in the choreographed routines? Dad?
I wouldn't say he was hard work.
He was the least experienced dancer.
I'll put it that way.
Was it hard teaching him a shimmy?
He brought his own flavour to the shimmy.
Yes, he did.
Yeah, but no, the rehearsals process of shooting some of those moves was pretty hilarious.
And what skills did everybody bring to the table?
Did you do it all?
Did you direct the video?
You said you edited it.
I assume you wrote and sung the song with guest vocals from the rest of the family.
That's right.
Yeah, no, I did all that.
But come shoot time, everybody brought something to the family. That's right, yeah, no, I did all that, but come shoot time everybody brought something to the table, they were all offering
great ideas of what the next shot could be. My mum
took the lead on the costuming, which I think we can all agree
was excellent. Phenomenal. Yeah, no, it was definitely
a team effort. Who was responsible for the dance moves? Because it's
quite a routine. It was pretty cool. That's my friend Anna Robinson
who is an amazing
and semi-professional hip-hop dancer and choreographer.
Oh wow. So yeah, the moves we are doing
are nowhere near what she is capable of.
So when I had the idea,
I sent a message to her, the song, and
said, do you reckon you could come up with
some moves for this? And she sent me
back some videos of her teaching us
how to do them. Wow, amazing.
Yeah.
Choreography over
FaceTime.
That's right, yeah. So with two
more weeks left,
have we got a sequel planned or are we just going for the one hit
and that's it?
The family returns.
To be honest,
I didn't have anything else planned.
I'm quite looking forward
to just wearing track pants
and swanning about the house
and doing nothing.
I've been doing that
and it's been great.
You should.
Yeah, I think I'll indulge
in a bit of that.
Controversial move we mentioned before,
being allowed up on the bench in the kitchen
and mum was even on the bench.
Did she allow that move?
Yep, she did allow that move.
There were some concerns about safety,
but we tailored the dance moves we did up there
to minimise the risk.
Oh, good health and safety protocols.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
That was our biggest concern.
No, we wouldn't want to risk putting extra strain
on the first responders at the moment,
so we were very responsible.
Exactly.
Well, Jack Buchanan, thank you so much.
He is the creative director behind the family lockdown boogie.
Enjoy your viral moment, Jack.
Cheers, guys.
Thanks very much.
All right, 14 past seven.
Next on the show, another edition of Homeschool.
We're all learning in isolation.
Lauren's going to teach us about daylight savings.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Homeschool!
Lauren is joining us on the phone.
She was set the task on Friday for Homeschool
to teach us about daylight savings.
Did you do your homework, Lauren?
I definitely did my homework.
And I can only say, I'm so...
I wouldn't do this for anyone else unless it's 7 o'clock for you guys.
Oh, thank you.
We appreciate that. I was just wondering what we do
when someone actually hasn't done their homework.
They get detention. We haven't
figured out what detention is.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, wait. We'll do the opposite.
They've got to go out and get it.
Whoa, whoa.
I don't know.
We've got to be harsh.
Send them into the eye of the storm.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Lauren, you are going to have one minute to deliver your presentation on Daylight Savvy.
I'm just stalling until I can get my timer going.
Here we go.
Lauren, your one minute starts now.
Alrighty.
So we all know what daylight saving at time is.
Actually, it's not daylight savings
because the whole point is that the time saves daylight.
And actually, it's been around for a while.
The first country to put daylight savings into action was Germany
in World War I to save fuel because everyone was using
their lamps at night and it was using too much
coal. So they thought if they got everyone up earlier
they'd go to bed earlier and they wouldn't use so much
coal. But the idea actually originated
from a New Zealander in 1895
and he was an etymologist
called George Hudson and an etymologist
collects bugs and he thought
if we push the time back two hours
you have plenty of time to collect bugs. And he thought, if we push the time back two hours, you have plenty of time to collect bugs.
So he proposed the idea.
It didn't actually take on,
because no one thought two hours was a good idea.
But eventually, obviously it happened in Germany,
and now 70 countries worldwide do daylight savings.
The reason it makes you feel so gross
is because it messes with your circadian rhythm,
which is like science talk for your body clock.
And yeah, it just makes you feel tired and gross, and it can make you get a heart attack circadian rhythm, which is like science talk for your body clock.
And, yeah, it just makes you feel tired and gross.
And it can make you get a heart attack or increase fatalities and car crashes.
Wow.
I can't believe that bug guy just wanted everyone to change so he could go out and collect bugs. I thought it was to benefit farmers.
It's to benefit a guy who's collecting bugs.
He's like, guys, the whole country.
He's an entomologist, not to be confused with an etymologist,
which is someone who likes words.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
That's good.
I like a little bit.
I didn't know the German thing either.
I didn't know.
The Germans.
The Germans.
Wow.
So efficient.
So much learning.
I'm giving you an A for that presentation.
Oh, my gosh.
Yay.
You're welcome. you're welcome.
I'm giving you an
A minus.
Oh, okay.
Oh, no, no, don't.
There's no need to be a bitch. No, because
some of it I already knew.
But A minus is good. What did you already
know?
Like, that it was
put your clocks back and stuff.
No, that it means it's your circadian
rhythm and that kind of thing.
Okay, alright. A minus isn't bad.
I'm giving you an A as well.
Okay, there you go. I mean that's
an A average, isn't it? Yeah.
I don't know, it's like an A.
A little minus.
An A, half a minus.
Lauren, congratulations. Thanks, Lauren. Great that. Thank you. I don't know. It's like an A. A little minus. An A, half a minus. A little minus.
Lauren, congratulations.
Thanks, Lauren.
Great homework.
No worries.
We've got another presentation coming up later in the show.
Do you remember?
Remember what? Lockie is doing French fries.
That's right.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I'm excited about this presentation.
I don't think Lockie was.
What could he possibly tell us about French fries?
Well, wait and see.
Next on the show, we're going to delve into the Queen's message.
She has done a special broadcast.
Has it happened?
I believe it has.
Is it happening?
It's the Queen.
She's loading it in now.
The executive intern, Anya, is behind the scenes loading that up for us.
So we'll hear from the Queen next.
Vaughn is betting $10 that she's stepping down from being the Queen.
I'm saying it's rubbish.
It's going to be a message of hope and solidarity.
Stay at home.
And also $10, do you reckon she'll mention Prince Andrew?
$10 says Andrew won't be on the agenda.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, the podcast.
The Queen, we thought it was a live address.
It was not a live address.
She has...
We've been absolutely played for fools.
It was pre-recorded.
And then dropped it.
She dropped a single.
So it's not live.
No, she...
Well, she shouldn't say live.
She said live.
Yeah.
It's like when someone lip syncs on a performance.
That's not live.
It's not live.
Were they worried she couldn't do it live?
She needed breaks or something?
Maybe.
She had trouble reading.
Old people need to go wheeze a lot.
She's addressed the world.
So the clip that I've got here is four minutes and eight seconds.
Now, do we want to hear the whole thing?
No, we do not.
You saw how well the crown did on Netflix.
Yeah.
Executive Internania, you've loaded this for us.
Do we want to hear the whole four minutes?
To put it politely, she could have made it punchier.
Right.
Yeah.
She was on.
A little, yeah.
The front bit's good.
The end bit's good.
If this radio show was in England, you'd have your head chopped off for saying that.
Yeah, they love old bloody Kiwi too.
But also, if you were ever to describe this radio show,
it would probably be wabbed on a little bit.
Could have been punchier.
Start was okay.
The end was all right.
Lost their way in the middle.
They should have their heads chopped off,
that kind of thing.
Okay, well, the Queen.
Now, it's been described as arousing.
Arousing?
Rousing.
You definitely said arousing.
It's been described as an erotic speech.
Arousing speech.
Arousing speech.
Yeah.
But no mention of...
England as a nation have reported rock-hard nipples at the Queen's erotic speech.
Okay, let's cross now to...
Whereabouts is she? Windsor Castle?
I don't know.
Or the palace?
Green screen.
Let's cross now.
She's in her bunker.
Let's cross now to the Queen's social media green screen
for her address.
I'm speaking to you at what I know
is an increasingly challenging time.
A time of disruption in the life of our country,
a disruption that has brought grief to some,
financial difficulties to many,
and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.
I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line,
as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who
selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home, in support of us all.
I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every
hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times
i also want to thank those of you who are staying at home thereby helping to protect the vulnerable
and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Does this podcast have double speed? We are tackling this disease.
And I want to reassure you.
Does she say anything at like...
Is there any like real riveting stuff?
This is a bit like...
It lacks a bit of...
I can see what she's trying to do
and no disrespect intended
to rouse the spirits.
Yeah.
It needs some like
blockbuster music in the background. Yeah, right. Should I load up some blockbuster music in the background.
Yeah, right.
Shall I load up some blockbuster music?
Like Michael Bay or something?
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Self-discipline, of quiet, good-humoured resolve.
Here we go, you got mine?
And a fellow feeling still characterise this country.
The pride in who we are is not a part of our past.
It defines our present and our future.
That's a quaint.
Oh, I was hoping...
What was that?
I don't know.
Right.
It's lovely.
But great point there.
It's an expression of our national spirit.
Showing some love for the essential workers like we all are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And appreciate them.
I think you say you got 10 bucks.
I thought she was announcing her retirement.
She's not going to retire at a time like this.
Nah, but I thought this would be the chance for Charles to hit the ground running.
He said COVID.
He needs to recover.
No, no, because he's good.
He can speak from that experience.
He would be like, I've had it.
It's pretty bad.
Yeah.
But I'm worth billions of dollars.
So you guys can probably pull through all right too.
For sure.
All right, Megan, you've got the latest.
They were on and then they were off and then they were on again
and now it seems like it's over for good.
Tell you who next.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
The latest.
Jessie. Jessie, Jane and Chan and Megan the podcast. The latest. Jessie
Channing Tatum
have broken up again.
So they were on
then they broke up
and then they were
on again. Right.
And then isolation happened
and they're like nah this is definitely
off again. So I don't know whether they
went into isolation together or not,
but it seems like it's permanently over.
I wonder if she was two hours late for everything
like she was that time we went to interview her.
And then he's like, no sympathy from you.
She was telling someone off, remember?
Was she?
Yeah, we heard it.
That didn't take two hours.
She didn't give them a two-hour dressing down.
Yeah, true.
It was a long dressing down.
But they probably deserved it, to be fair.
But it seems like it was amicable.
And Channing Tatum is back on Raya, which is that celebrity dating app.
Right.
Why does he need to be on that?
I don't know.
But you have to be, like, accepted to be on that.
It's not, like, something that anyone can go on.
But his bio, apparently apparently on Raya says,
and yes, I used to be a stripper, sorry.
So I don't know if that's like an insight
into why his relationship didn't work out at all.
But I don't see that being a problem.
No, no.
Added skill set.
It'd just be good for someone to finally use
that stripper's pole I had installed in my house.
This has been going on.
Originally it was for structural reinforcement, wasn't it?
But it also turned out it was quite...
You've got lots of time in lockdown now
to get good at your stripper skills.
Fitness, and I'm like, all right, well, I'll buy the pole.
One class and that was it.
You should do pole fitness.
You'd be so great at it.
I don't think so.
I'd just love to see it.
Do male strippers use poles as much
as female strippers? Because I thought the idea
of the pole usage was it's phallic
energy.
Oh, they're sliding up and down the pole.
But guys,
do you think
that the reason that pole
dancing started was there was a strip club
and they were just actual beam supports?
Yeah.
Yeah. Structural reinforcement. Like scaffolding was a strip club and they were just actual beam supports. Yeah.
Structural reinforcement. Like scaffolding?
The strip club was getting reno'd and then all of a sudden it was sexy
and everyone wanted it. They lubed one up.
By accident there was a lubrication
explosion. I found a male pole dancer on YouTube.
Okay.
That's a male pole dancer because it's evolved now into
fitness. I'm still talking about stripping.
Because you remember when the Auckland
Altair Centre
underground car park
got reinforced
and there was a lot
of poles in there
and strippers were using
that as sort of
a parkour
parkour
urban stripping
situation.
It was quite
artful to see.
You want to give it
a wipe down
between uses though.
Yeah.
Especially in this
current climate wipe everything down.
That is the latest for more Go To ZM Online.
Coming up before 8 o'clock, there is news on Tiger King.
If you thought you'd seen all of Tiger King, well, it turns out you haven't.
Also, Joe Exotic has done an interview over the weekend from prison.
Four questions were asked, and the answers are so good.
Next though, we're going to play another round of Fridge Bingo.
If you'd like to play, 0800 DALZM right now.
You just need a fridge.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Fridge Bingo.
Well, Fridge Bingo, it's the new isolation game.
We've all got a fridge at home.
Well, I hope you have.
Well, not everybody. A lot of them are chock-a-block at the moment isolation game. We've all got a fridge at home. Well, I hope you haven't.
Well, not everybody.
A lot of them are chock-a-block at the moment.
Yeah.
With all kinds of goodies.
Yeah. We're stuck at home.
Yep.
You do your big shop and you fill it right up and then...
But then there's also that stuff in the fridge that's been there forever
and you should get rid of it and you don't.
Like saucers.
Yeah.
They go off, don't they?
But you just leave them there.
Condiments, nah. You can't be just leave them there. Condiments, nah.
You can't be able to deal with it.
They do, nah.
Condiments do.
Maggie and I had a big fridge cleaned out like six months ago, and I was amazed at the amount
of condiments Parsi used by.
Oh, yeah.
You'd be amazed.
But they've got that much stuff in them.
You'd be right.
That much shugs in them, they'll pretty much last forever.
Yeah.
So we want to, we're just going to randomly ask,
we're going to say items.
This is like how bingo works.
And it's the first person to have three of the mentioned items.
Now, we always ask for proof at the end of the game
for you to send through a photo of your fridge
with said items in fridge.
If you're lying, I don't...
You get the prize taken off you?
Well, there is no prize.
It's just a...
Just send it a ring up and tell you off.
Yes.
One of those...
And you'll be charged under the Health and Safety Act or something.
For lying.
For endangering the public.
Yeah.
You'll get a David Clark telling off.
Tyler, good morning.
Good morning.
How are you today?
How was your weekend in ISO?
Oh, great.
I was at work, so it was good.
Oh, okay.
What do you do for work?
I'm a nurse.
Oh!
Tyler, round of applause.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Thank you, Tyler.
Thank you, Tyler.
Thank you for your service.
You're welcome.
Now, Tyler, how's the fridge stock at the moment?
Good.
It's pretty chuckablock, I think.
Okay, good, good.
Well, you'll be a formidable adversary.
For Kate.
Yes. Prepare for yourself, Kate. Kate, good, good. Well, you'll be a formidable adversary for Kate. Yes.
Prepare for yourself, Kate.
Kate, good morning.
How are you?
Oh, I'm out.
Is yours looking a bit skint at the moment, is it, Kate?
No, I'm not a nurse.
Oh, you're not a nurse.
All right, you just want to.
It's not about that, Kate.
It's about what's in your fridge.
Oh, no, I've got a pretty hefty fridge at the moment.
Also, Kate Kate there's
absolutely
no prize
so
it's not a
problem
it's just
pride
everyone loves
a nurse
I believe
there's a
certificate as
well that you
can put on
your fridge
oh perfect
I just looked
at the producers
like make a
certificate
that was a
certificate for
the school
thing
just change the word homeschool to fridge bingo I just looked at the producers like, make a certificate. That was a certificate for the school thing. No, we can do a certificate for this.
Just change the word homeschool to fridge bingo.
And put a fridge instead of the notepad.
No need.
All right, Tyler.
We should get some of those blank certificates.
Remember blank certificates at school so they could write in what you'd done.
Yeah, that's good.
Tyler, you buzz in with ding if Vaughan mentions something in your fridge.
Kate, you buzz in with dong.
Okay.
Tyler, ding.
Oops, ding.
I'm just writing this down so I don't get confused.
Dong.
Kate, dong.
Here we go.
The first item for Fridge Bingo today.
Who's got an onion?
Yes, Dong.
Oh, both an onion in the fridge.
Now, what state is the onion in?
Is it half an onion left over from something?
Yep, last night.
Yep.
Okay, and plans to use that today, Kate?
Maybe, actually.
Because if you don't use it today, Kate,
it's not going to be any good.
It's not going to be any good to you.
It's in a container,
so it's not like you can get out.
Oh, you know, Kate's right.
I've got a red onion in a container
for salads last ages.
Smart.
You?
I just chuck it in there.
We didn't ask Tyler what state his onion was in.
Was it a whole onion?
Oh, sorry.
I'll stop the randomiser.
I wouldn't put a whole onion in the fridge.
Tyler, how's your onion?
Yeah, it's good.
I've got a whole onion in the fridge.
Now, do you keep onions in the fridge pre any usage?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
No, they're a cupboard item.
No, with the potatoes and the garlic.
You bango, and then it goes in the fridge once you've used half of it.
Otherwise, they start to grow those sprouty things.
Oh, and if you leave it months.
What are you leaving it there for?
How are you leaving it there for?
I forget about them.
That's why I put them in the fridge.
It's going to go soft and shrinking on itself.
Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh bingo.
Let's maybe get a shorter one of those next time.
I can zhuzh that up.
I can do that.
I can put that into my thing and speed it up. Oh, I'll edit it right now to be shorter.
Can you speed it up? Don't shorten it. Just speed it up. Oh, I'll edit it right now to be shorter. What's the item?
Can you speed it up?
Don't shorten it, just speed it up.
No, I'm just going to start.
Where would you like it to start?
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't touch it.
I'm editing it now.
Don't touch it.
Oh, my God.
It's the after show chat.
That'll do.
I'm starting.
What?
It just needs to be compressed.
Well, we can't do that now.
Tyler and Kate are waiting.
Sorry.
Next item for fridge bingo, bickies.
Biscuits.
In the fridge.
Bickies in the fridge.
Ding.
Ding.
Ding.
Nice.
Tyler, what kind of bickies have you got in the fridge?
Chocolate bickies, surely.
Tim Tam.
Yes.
Now, what's your favourite Tim Tam, Tyler?
The salted caramel one From
Yeah they're delish
Oh yeah good good
I put a packet of mint
One of those mint slices
Mint slices
Yeah they go in the fridge
Because I thought
What I'd do is I'd open them
And had a few
And then I was like
I'll put these in the fridge
And then I just ate them
Quite quickly after that
So Bickies live in the cupboard
Until they're open right
Yeah and then the fridge
And only chocolate biscuits
Yeah only chocolate biscuits Okay Yeah, only chocolate biscuits.
Okay, we're all on the same page here.
Okay, Tyler takes a 2-1 lead.
Cordial.
Who's got some cordial in the fridge?
What's gong? Oh, Kate, you got cordial. Mr. Chip's cordial in the fridge? What's gong?
Oh, Kate, you got cordial.
What constitutes cordial?
Oh, my God.
Barkers, orange, barley, and passion fruit vegans.
Oh, shit.
We didn't know the queen was on the phone playing fridge bingo.
Orange, barley, and passion fruit.
We love it.
When my dad's been really good, mum will buy him a bottle of Barkers,
but he's not to go through it too quickly.
Because there's a lot of sugar in that, eh?
There's a lot of sugar, yeah.
You're supposed to be looking after your cholesterol.
I've also got cherry and pomegranate.
Pomegranate.
Oh, my God.
You've got a range of cordials.
Yeah.
All right, so that's one apiece.
Okay.
Two apiece.
Two apiece.
Just saying.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Now, this is a controversial one.
Vegemite.
Who's got Vegemite in the fridge?
Correct answer.
Correct answer.
Vegemite doesn't go in the fridge.
Roll it again, Fletch.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Broccoli.
Ding.
Oh, no.
No.
I ate it last night.
You ate it?
Kate ate it.
Tyler, congratulations.
You have taken our fridge bingo today.
It was close, but Kate ate the broccoli last night,
so you've only got yourself to blame, Kate.
Stupid Kate.
Stupid broccoli.
Stupid delicious broccoli.
Was it a stew fry last night, Kate, with the half onion?
Oh, no.
Oh, no. It wasn't. What was for fry last night, Kate, with the half onion? Oh, no. Oh, no.
It wasn't.
What was for dinner last night?
We had couscous, Israeli couscous with roasted vegetables
and we roasted the broccoli and...
God, you and the Israeli couscous here.
Can't get on board.
Dark as juice.
Can't get on board with couscous.
Thanks so much for playing, Kate, and congratulations, Tyler.
Another round of applause for winning and just for being a nurse
and providing that essential service.
And you're cool too, Kate.
Thank you.
And a certificate.
Kate already won.
She's got two different bottles of Barker's Cordial in her.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Tiger King's on Netflix.
Everyone's going crazy for it.
A lot of people have binged and finished already.
We have heard from Jeff Lowe.
So Jeff owns the Tiger Park at the end of Tiger King.
He's the guy who currently owns it.
Bandana wears a cap.
He has given us a little tidbit of information.
He was talking to a baseball star in America
because he was a massive fan,
recorded a little video for him.
And it ended up going viral
because of this little tidbit of information.
Take care, guys.
We love you.
Netflix is adding one more episode.
We'll be on next week.
We're filming here tomorrow.
Take care, stay safe, and put your mask on.
So if you believe him, one more episode still to come,
and if you're filming tomorrow.
Yeah, if you believe him.
Because that's kind of the bit there, isn't it?
Don't believe him.
He does talk a lot of crap.
He'll take your tiger park.
It's kind of contradictory because he says it'll be dropping next week,
but then we're filming.
So it must be a where are they now kind of catch up.
Yeah.
But I've just realised the interview.
So Joe Exotic has been interviewed from prison.
Right.
It was Netflix who interviewed him.
Oh, okay.
They must have talked to Joe in prison for this follow-up that they're going to drop at some stage.
So they have chatted to Joe.
It looks like he's still got his mullet, but it's not dyed.
It's brown.
Is he allowed to have all of his piercings in jail?
It's a fuzzy video, but it doesn't look like he does.
That eyebrow room was almost about to fall out by itself, wasn't it?
I was just hanging off a delight.
God, let's not forget his's Prince Albert with padlocks.
Did that make you do a little vomit in your mouth?
I'd forgotten about it.
Now you've reminded me.
I think my brain put it in a...
Yeah, you're welcome.
Sealed section and you've just opened the sealed section.
So Netflix has shared this
and they asked him four questions.
First question,
what's it like seeing the show get so popular?
You know, it would be nice
if I could actually
see me being famous out there, but
I've seen these things all
year and a half now.
Oh, that's the thing. He wanted to be famous his whole life.
So bad, mate. And now he's really famous.
And now he's actually really famous.
Like, peak famous. And he can't
see it. What's something you want
Tiger King fans to know?
Go sit at the cage with your animal for a week.
I mean, when I left the zoo and I sent my chimpanzees to the sanctuary in Florida
and imagine what my chimpanzees went through for 18 years.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Like, he doesn't agree with locking up animals anymore.
Because he himself has been locked up.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
How are things with you and your husband, Dylan?
The short of time is I was married to Dylan,
and still married to Dylan, you know,
eight months before I got arrested for all this.
It's been a year and a half of sleeping in a car
and going from couch to couch and house to house,
and I can't thank my husband enough for standing beside me.
And the last question that Netflix posed to Joe Exotic was,
what message would you send to fans of the show?
I'm done with the Carol Baskin saga.
It's now time to turn the tables and Joe get out of jail.
A free man and exonerated
from all these charges.
He's done with the Carol Baskin
thing. That's what he wants us to believe.
And then you'll get out.
Yeah. Has anyone heard from
Carol?
Hi there, you cool cats.
Was she doing?
I did see some stuff last week.
I think from her husband and from her,
I think just through her Facebook page, Big Cat Rescue.
He was a weird man, right?
Yeah.
Well, yeah, I think Netflix are interviewing him.
And like Jeff Lowe said over the weekend,
looks like we're getting another episode,
whether or not that's next week or soon,
but it's happening.
Because we got follow-ups, didn't we, to Making a Murderer as that kind of unfolded.
Yeah.
After all the Netflix hype.
Well, I just see, I'm just looking at some headlines.
Carol Baskin slams Netflix series that did not care about the truth.
All right, Carol.
Well, does not get the truth get an eye of a good gun?
Never.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Next on the show, our Comedians in Isolation series
visits somebody who's had a couple of big viewed videos
over the isolation period.
Mel Bracewell's going to join us on the show.
Also coming up, Google have been tracking our phones
during lockdown.
In fact, they've released a report kind of all over the world
of who's kind of following the rules the best.
Oh.
And which towns in New Zealand?
A staying put.
A staying put.
Staying still.
Yeah, so we'll go through that list soon on the show.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Comedians in isolation.
There's many people you can feel sorry for in this situation,
comedians amongst them.
They feed.
They lap up.
They love that attention, the applause in person.
So we're trying to help them out.
Some call it charity.
It's just us doing our part.
And one of those comedians is Mel Bracewell.
Good morning, Mel.
Wow.
Thank you so much for your charity.
Yes.
I mention it.
You know what?
I woke up this morning and I was going,
oh, I really hope we're still doing this interview
because, you know, my attention levels are at an all-time low.
Yeah.
They are in desperate territory,
and so this is actually just kind of tidying me over for the week.
So thank you so much.
Because you've been getting what we call synthetic attention.
That's likes on Instagram, views on videos,
but it's a synthetic, it's a synthetic.
It doesn't really hit the spot, does it?
Yeah, exactly.
It's sort of, you know, I feel like
eating some chocolate
and then there's just kind of, you know,
you eat a date or like some
sort of dried fruit to get that sweet
sweetness. It's not the same.
No, no.
You've knuckled down.
You've been cranking a lot of content in this
isolation. It's funny.
It really is
desperation, I think.
And a lot of time.
A lot of time. I've had a lot
of screen time. Most
of my days are just, I'll look at
Instagram or something, and then I'll be like,
okay, I wonder what's happening on Facebook. And by the
time I've looked at Facebook, I'm like, there's probably
new updates on Instagram.
I think you're describing most people's day.
I'm just in a constant loop.
Every day is blending into another.
What is today?
I don't know.
Now, there's a couple of videos that have gone pretty crazy.
One where you made a nice sign for your neighbour.
Yeah.
She tells you to F off and that was actually
set up. That was your mum.
Don't give it away. No, no, she's since revealed.
She's since revealed because your mum
had to come out and be like
I'm actually a really nice lady. Mel made
me write the F word on a piece of paper.
I know. I know.
I did rope my mum into that. It is quite
lucky because I'm staying with my brother
and my mum just happens to live next door.
And I was like, OK, I've got to rope some mum content into it.
And she was like, oh, why don't you just get Cherie to do it?
I'm like, mum, it's funny if it's you.
Cherie's my sister.
And so, yeah, yeah, I told her to do it.
But then she started reading the comments of everyone going,
oh, that's a withering old lady.
What a horrible person she is.
Oh, no.
She's like, oh, this is so cruel.
We're like, oh, my God,
that's why she lives alone,
because she's so horrible.
I'm like, oh, no, we better reveal this
before the bullying gets out of control.
Oh, my God, you exposed your mum to the trolls.
I really did.
I just, I bit her in the tiger cage, covered in stakes.
I like, when did you realise that you looked like Jacinda Ardern?
I just, to be honest, it was probably right at the end of filming that video.
Like, I just kind of started filming it because I was like,
oh, I'm okay at makeup.
Maybe I can try and make this work.
And then my brother caught me filming this video,
and I was like, do I look kind of like DeSindor Ardern?
And I understood at that point.
He was like, yeah.
Oh, wow.
I only really saw it after I had kind of uploaded the video.
I was like, oh, yeah, with the jacket and the cheekbones.
I'm sure people will believe it,
but I didn't expect as many people to kind of think that.
I saw one guy's comment was like,
why am I watching Mel Bracewell put on makeup?
Hang on, what did Jacinda Ardern do with Mel Bracewell?
Yeah, I know.
It was one of those things where, you know,
in typical circumstances, I was like, oh, of those like weird, you know, in typical circumstances
I was like, oh, maybe
like Jacinda will reach
out and I'm like,
Jacinda's busy.
She's got a little
to do.
She doesn't need to be
commenting on my
TikTok.
How far through
sending that to her
and a DM did you get
before you're like,
no, no, no, no,
it's not the time.
I was sort of going, oh, it'll happen organically. I was like, no, no, no, no, it's not the time. It's not the time. No, I was sort of going, oh, it'll happen organically.
I was like, no, it won't.
There's a pandemic happening.
We're all far out.
Chill out.
My TikTok game is on fire.
Well, have you got more planned for the week or are these,
you're out now for the rest of the isolation,
you're just going to sit there going between social medias?
Oh, that's the problem is that I was like
Oh, you know, I've got all this time
I'm going to pump out all this content
And then I realised like all my content is just two videos
And now I'm like, what do I do now?
You're learning the importance of spacing out your successful posts
I know, that was rookie era
Rookie era
Well, good luck
Here's a bit of
That's just a a bit of,
that's just a little bit of.
Oh my gosh.
Thank you so much.
Some applause.
Actually loving the TikToks though. Yeah, no, very, very good.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
At Meladoodle.
Thanks guys.
But just tone it down
because when you guys
start doing good stuff,
our boss is like,
do more of that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right. Thanks Mel're like, yeah, yeah. All right.
Thanks, Mel.
Thanks, bye.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
COVID lockdown.
So we still haven't made that.
Day 12.
Nah.
I thought about it, though.
And that's what matters.
It's the thought that counts.
It is the thought that counts. It is the thought that counts.
It's final countdown.
I mean, you know that.
But, but, but, but, but, but.
Carry on, boy.
Better late than never.
Such a good song.
Illusions.
Yes.
Illusions, Maguna tricks.
A rest of development reference there.
So Google's been tracking.
They can track us
You're a fool if you think that
You're not being tracked
Well you can
They've come out and said
You can obviously opt out of this
It's not like they've been doing it secretly
I've left it on
Because remember there was that big thing
Saying how you could turn it off
But I've left it on
Because I don't ever want to be accused of murder
Me too
And I'll be like
I wasn't there
Look at my location
Me too
This is what Netflix true crime shows are doing to us.
I've got nothing to hide.
But also, I like sharing because we all use Google Maps and Waze and stuff,
and you want to know what the traffic's doing.
So the more people sharing, the better it is for that kind of stuff.
Turn on Find Friends then.
No.
Let me know where you are.
Absolutely not, Vaughn.
Turn on Find Friends.
I mean, for the next three weeks, I'm in my apartment.
How do I know?
It's the COVID lockdown.
It's going to work good.
It's going to work good.
It's going to work good.
So, day whatever, and tracking us, they're letting us know who's obeying the rules.
Aucklanders, a large dip in Aucklanders who have stopped going to work.
I guess it's just people leaving at your traditional work hours.
64% of Aucklanders have stopped going to work. I guess it's just people leaving at your traditional work hours. 64% of Aucklanders have stopped going to work.
But then Gisborne and Southland at the other end of things,
they've only seen a 47% to 48% drop.
Right.
And then I'm imagining a lot of Southland, for example,
there'd be a lot of rural work,
which has been deemed essential, farmers, et cetera.
And Gisborne, people are just going to their drug dealers
earlier in the morning.
It's pretty amazing how they can do this.
Yeah.
Because some countries, correct me if I'm wrong,
are actually using it, like seriously using this.
Yeah, to get people in trouble.
Yeah.
And this is also, they are asking you now
when you come into New Zealand,
if you're going to go into self-isolation,
they ask you for permission to track you so that they know you're not leaving.
Yeah, I know some privacy experts have an issue with that,
but I think it's kind of unprecedented times.
We need to be tracking everyone, don't we?
I kind of don't even think they should be asking them.
Just track them, two weeks.
Make sure they're not leaving.
So then they looked at the different areas.
Yeah, there's a couple of fruit flies in the studio.
Megan and I have got one each.
It's your turn, Fletch.
I just had one in here.
We've left you the biggest, juiciest fruit fly.
Okay, good.
I'll get that.
Carry on with the data.
If you hear a clap or us being distracted, there's a fruit fly.
What regions have been behaving the most?
Nelson and the West Coast have been very good at following the rules.
Google recorded a 100% drop in visits to non-essential businesses and 81% to parks.
However, my question is non-essential businesses wouldn't be open,
so what would be the point of going there?
Well, but why are people going?
Exactly.
And Auckland is the worst, apparently an 89% drop in visits to non-essential businesses
and a 70% drop to parks.
But Auckland is like, you put up that video of your bike ride.
Oh, it was nuts.
And there was just people everywhere.
Yeah.
I mean, to be fair, most people were spacing and distancing.
But there were, again, people running past like a foot away from another person.
I walked past someone on my walk yesterday
and she was right beside me and let our dogs touch.
I was like, no, no, are you even watching the news?
Yeah.
Some people just don't get it.
But then I read Aucklanders and Wellingtonians are still going to parks.
They're not avoiding them as much as the rest of the country.
But also you're talking about the cities with the smallest average living space as well.
Yeah, that's true. So maybe to get the feet in some
grass. Well, because we're allowed
out for exercise. As long as you're spacing
and you're staying close to home, it's
fine. Yeah. As for
the advice for staying home completely,
Otago is apparently leading the way with
a 39% increase in time spent
at home.
Okay.
I was on fruit fly watch. Yeah, you were on fruit fly watch and I caught the fruit fly.
Here he is.
Get it, get it.
Get it, get it.
Get it, get it.
He's coming back to you.
He's coming to you, Fletch.
Oh, I've lost it in the black wall because the walls are black.
Yeah, he's clever.
And the fruit fly is kind of semi-camouflaged.
This is gripping, actually.
Well, it's an episode of Breaking Bad where they're in the meth lab
and they can't get that fly.
You can join us on our Facebook Live.
Oh, it's real fast, that one, isn't it?
It's a fast bugger.
Oh, it's behind you.
No.
You can join us on our Facebook Live feed as we continue.
See how this goes down. We continue the hunt for that pesky little fruit fly who may have come in with a man and a mandarin skin.
I don't want to swoop in and just absolutely destroy its life, but do we have any raid?
I'm all for it.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Currently still trying to catch the fruit fly in studio.
It's time for...
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We need that Iron Dome, that Israeli defence missiles.
You know those things?
What do you mean?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Have you not heard about the Iron Dome?
No.
Oh, wow.
Is this today's fact of the day?
No, no, no, no, no. Oh, completely unrelated.
Okay.
I thought you would have been all over the Iron Dome.
It's this missile defence system over the Israeli attack.
I had no idea, Vaughn.
And it locks up any thing coming in. It's like... Oh, and shoots it out. Yeah, it's a real tiny had no idea, Vaughn. And it locks up any like thing coming in.
It's like...
Oh, and shoots it out.
Yeah, it's a real...
Oh, that's exciting.
...pinty Stark-level stuff.
Okay, let me delve into some research on that.
Yeah, so the Iron Dome, you'll love it.
There's been documentaries.
It's a fruit fly.
I thought I saw it by Fletch.
So, I sourced this fact that...
Get him.
Oh, we got it!
We got it!
Hey!
You also hit that TV and it's not working now.
And there's big fingerprints on it.
But hey.
It's gone. What is that song called? Because now I need it.
Can we tell the tech department that that TV just stopped working?
For some reason.
Because if I press it, it goes white.
I think that a giant 42-inch television is a good trader for killing a fruit fly.
What are you doing? He's trying to find that a fruit fly. Yeah, I do too.
What are you doing?
He's trying to find that song.
Is it Greek?
I got it.
Is it Greek?
It's Jewish.
Hey!
Gosh, this makes me happy.
Great stuff.
Okay.
I don't know.
I don't know what's happening on you. Is he lyrics in this or is it instrumental?
Oh, this is instrumental.
Oh, we needed the lyrics.
Okay.
What about this one?
Have we done fact of the day?
No.
No, not yet.
Guys, it does seem a bit over the top,
all this celebration just for me killing a fruit fly.
It was the last of the three of them.
It's going to get in there. I don't want to... Okay, today's fact of the day.
Today's fact of the day.
I was doing the dance.
That's great.
That's like doing a squat every time.
I like that Mountie put an update on the live stream.
We call the fruit fly.
We won't be beaten.
We are humans! Let's also
delete that. Delete all the
footage and evidence of me breaking that
television screen. I think she actually
did catch it on. Look, your
fingerprints are all over it.
Do we still need to do Fact of the Day? Yes.
Yes, we do. Paul's just
catching his breath.
Yeah, I did get pretty low.
Tammy on the live stream said I got pretty low.
Have we done the fact of the day?
I could get lower if I had a stretchier pant.
I'm going to go home and do that dance.
That was a great workout.
That's going to be my...
You're going to bust your knees out.
I should do an at-home workout.
You'll bust your knees.
No.
No.
Okay, today's fact of the day is, and this is, as I said, I sourced this last night pre-fruit fly problem.
Okay.
It's about those bug zappers.
Oh, okay.
You know when you have one outside, it's a blue light generator and they're flying and then they go.
Yeah.
So, today's fact of the day is research has shown that when insects are electrocuted.
Yeah. Today's fact of the day is research has shown that when insects are electrocuted, yeah,
bug zappers can spread a mist containing insect parts, viruses, and bacteria
for six foot, seven inches, or two meters from the device.
Ooh.
So that means if you have food within two meters underneath the bacteria,
the viruses, and the insect bits and pieces could settle on food in that vicinity.
Do you remember back in the day food places used to have them?
Like in kitchens to get rid of them.
Yeah.
You don't have them anymore.
No.
Well, you could have it outside.
But there have been some scatterproof designs, but nobody has successfully removed it altogether.
You're still puffed, aren't you?
It's a good workout.
A little bit puffed, yeah.
I'm going to put that on and just run around my house.
I was expecting the gene, the gooch of the gene.
The gusset.
To rip.
Really bust and blow out.
Yeah, because I was going down,
but that actually speaks volumes for these genes.
What were these genes when we got them? Kasubis. Kasubis. Oh my God, they're not going down, but that actually speaks volumes for these jeans. What were these jeans when we got them?
The Subies.
Oh my God, they're not going to blow out.
No, well, you wouldn't expect so.
Subies are quality jeans.
I didn't pay for them, but you tell me how much they cost.
You would never pay for Subies.
Hold on, let me just steal my Spotify back off my family again.
They're playing bloody Drake.
Can you tell them to stop using...
They're playing Drake at home.
Tootsie Slide.
Tootsie Slide at the breakfast bar.
Here you go.
Give me that.
Give me that.
This is another version.
No, I don't like that version.
Okay, let's finish up.
Oh yeah, that's good.
I like that.
This is slower.
No, it's going to kick it.
I quite like the ones with the...
Okay.
I like the berries.
Let's do the jingle for Fact of the Day.
Hey, we got the fruit fly.
So today's Fact of the Day is that when bugs hit those bug zappers,
bits of bug viruses and bacteria can spread for up to two metres.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
There's another one.
We're going to...
Yay!
The ballet voices are singing bells are a ringing dance.
Everyone dance.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
The latest.
Selena Gomez has opened up and revealed a diagnosis
during a 20-minute conversation she had with Miley Cyrus
on her Bright Minded series, which is on Instagram Live.
I discussed that after years of going through a lot of different things,
I realised that I was bipolar.
The two of them, I don't know the ins and outs of their...
They've had beef, right? Because they've kind of... I don't know the ins and outs of their, they've had beef, right?
Because they've kind of.
I don't know.
It did seem weird seeing the two of them talking because Miley's still friends with Justin Bieber.
And yeah, but obviously they've put all that behind each other.
Miley said that Selena reached out and just sent her a butterfly emoji in her DMs.
And that's how this all came about.
But yeah, the 20-minute conversation between the two of them is very personal.
And they speak a lot about mental health.
It's worth a watch.
They were both Disney kids, eh?
Yeah.
This is Demi and Miley and Selena.
But I don't know about the beef.
And then the Jonas boys.
Yeah, it's a long history between all of them.
That is the latest. Those Jonas brothers are at the centre of a whole bunch of trouble, aren't they? Those Jonas boys. Yeah. It's a long history between all of them. That is the latest.
Those Jonas brothers are at the centre of a whole bunch of trouble, aren't they?
Those naughty boys.
Joe and Nick.
What are you doing?
And Kevin.
Kevin's not naughty.
Kevin's a very good boy.
Yeah.
He's a good boy.
There's a few broken plates on the floor.
We moved on from that song from the Jewish community
to the song from the Greek community.
What's that called?
Zorba the Greek.
The Greek wedding celebration song.
Yeah, so of course had to smash some plates.
Anything to get us through isolation.
I can't believe you did it, Fletcher.
I tried to stop you.
A TV and then three plates, Fletch, really?
Yeah, it's been a big day for you.
You've really stepped out of line.
Home school!
All right, time for another edition of Home School.
We see you the...
Oh, is it lunchtime already?
Playtime.
No, it's the start of school.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
We see you the homework and you must report back.
Lockie, good morning.
Hello.
How was your weekend in isolation, mate?
I did nothing.
That's okay.
Did you do your homework?
Oh, no, no, no.
I did that.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
Nothing else.
Absolutely nothing to do.
Okay.
Well, that's all right.
It's the same as all of us.
I know.
I feel like we're all in the same boat, so I don't feel bad saying that.
I got to work today.
Megan was like, what did you get up to?
Oh, weekend.
Same as you, just stayed inside.
Yeah.
All right.
You have one minute, Lockie, to deliver us your presentation on French fries,
and your time starts now.
All right.
So when I did the first little bit of research,
I saw that apparently they're called French fries because they were invented in Paris in 1789.
But then this seems like quite the controversial topic because in the 1600s, there's evidence that Belgium started eating fries as a fish substitute.
So a little bit perplexed.
Anyway, we move on. They only really started becoming really popular in the early 1800s
when Thomas Jefferson was obsessed with them and introduced them,
not introduced them to America, but sort of made them the thing.
Right.
And, yeah, so that's where that sort of started having its turnaround
to becoming, like, the thing we have today.
And other little fun facts. That's where that sort of started having its turnaround to becoming like the thing we have today.
And other little fun facts.
Americans eat around 30 pounds of potatoes per year, but Belgians eat a third more fries
than Americans.
I didn't do the math on that, but quite a bit.
And then the best potatoes for french fries are russets.
And the US Congress tried to change the name of french fries to Freedom Fries in 2013,
but failed.
And that actually irks me to the nth degree.
It's so stupid.
Yay!
Lockie, brilliant presentation.
Thank you so much.
I think I remember them trying to change them to Freedom Fries.
Stupid Americans. That's actually ridiculous.
It was like sauerkraut became like liberation cabbage or something.
Like everything with a German name got renamed.
Now, what's our favourite type of fries?
Do we like a thick cut?
I prefer a thicker cut.
A shoestring, a crinkle.
Crinkle, I feel were big in the 90s
with mums in the oven.
If I'm getting an oven chip, though,
I'll definitely get a crinkle. Because I don't even consider anything
other than a shoestring fry a french fry.
Right. Because if it goes thicker, it's just a chip.
Just a chip, right, okay. I mean, I know it's been
deep fried, but if you don't go for french fries and
fish, do you? You go for fish and chips.
Do you have a favourite, Lockie?
I do love a thick boy. I love,
love, love, love one.
Me too.
You give that.
Okay, so all things said. I'll start with the
grading. Look, I was,
you were a bit loose with
numbers, facts and figures.
I was thinking a B, but then at the end with your thick boy
talk, it's bolstered.
It's an A for me.
It was for you, Warren. It was for you.
It's an A
plus now. I'm not going to lie.
Later he gets you everywhere.
It's an A plus from me.
We love tips on the show.
Lockie, congratulations.
We have a certificate, a homeschool certificate for you,
which we'll send out in the post when posties are allowed out.
Amazing.
To deliver non-essential mail.
Yeah.
To deliver non-essential mail.
Thank you so much, Lockie.
And school.
School's out.
I'll give it more of a ring.
It's home time.
School's out.
School's out.
You know, we had, in my primary school, we had one of these bells.
Did you have one of these bells at primary school?
No, yuck.
We had an electric one.
Poor.
We had a big copper bell
that were like,
you stood underneath
and went ding, ding, ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding,
but then it got stolen
and melted down
so some crackhead
could feed his habit.
That's what my dad said.
That's why mine
spills in the land,
my thing.
I got stolen
so some crackhead
could feed his habit.
I hope he's happy.
ZM's Fletch,
Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So we have to social distance at the moment. I got Stalin, so some crackhead could feed his habit. I hope he's happy.
So we have to social distance at the moment.
We are in our ISO bubbles and you can't go out for a date night.
So I've got a few ideas on how... I didn't come up with these.
Stop looking at me like that.
No, because I know you're going to say what you and Mr Toyboy are doing.
Ready for this one?
That's a cute idea.
So if you are living with your partner in your own isobubble
and you want to do a date night,
here's a few ideas on what you can do.
Okay.
These ones I didn't make.
I didn't come up with these.
Have a dance party in your living room.
So they say to create a collaborative playlist.
And this includes nostalgic songs.
If you're married, maybe some from your wedding.
Maybe you have a song that reminds you of when you first met.
You can do just your favourite songs at the moment.
Cool.
What was our anniversary yesterday?
It was our anniversary.
It was our anniversary yesterday.
Yeah.
How many years?
Vaughan Scott.
17 years.
I did not forget.
Classic Vaughan forgot. I years. I did not forget. Classic Vaughan forgot.
I was waiting all day for the text
and it finally came through later in the day.
Happy anniversary.
Did you do a tribute on social media
like Fletch did for you?
I just reposted his tribute.
Lazy.
But that's how this works.
Yeah, right.
Lazy.
So yeah, create a playlist
and then dance in the living room together.
That's pretty cute.
Host a virtual double date with
another couple.
You can even spice it up with a game.
On Zoom or something? Yeah. Okay.
Get creative with some arts and crafts. You can do
it together. There's lots of instructional videos on
YouTube. Okay. That's
an option. Like a pottery wheel.
That's probably your sexiest art
and craft, eh?
How many pottery wheels have you found in that movie Ghost sold?
So many.
So many.
But that's the trouble is like if you pick up a new art and craft,
you're probably not going to have the supplies you need.
Nah.
Because I don't think pottery wheels are essential services, are they?
But dazzling is though.
So if you want to Joe Exotic some jeans.
Yeah, right.
This is a great idea.
Take an online dance lesson.
Do it in your lounge.
There's YouTube tutorials for this
and you can do it together.
Okay.
That's pretty cute.
I've got one of those coffee tables
that's a real shin attacker.
Oh, you'd have to move that.
Unless you were going to do tabletop dancing,
coyote ugly style tabletop dancing.
There'd be no dancing on the table.
No dancing on that table?
It's a low table.
You wouldn't hurt yourself if you fell off.
Yeah, but it's not to be stood on.
I don't know if that's structurally integral.
Especially not if you've been in that banana cake
and you're planning your three mac and cheese.
No offence.
I'm also in the same boat.
I wouldn't get up on your table.
Ow, I feel physically attacked.
But yes, I will be having mac and cheese tonight.
If I don't arrive at work tomorrow,
it's a cardiac arrest.
And the last tip on this list
is take a workout class together.
You can do,
there's lots of exercises
that you can actually do
physically together.
And then you can move on
to like doing TikToks.
You know how people do it
like balancing TikToks
and their partners?
Oh, I've seen that, yeah.
Either it'll go well
and it'll be a good one
or it'll fail.
And it'll be a bit later.
You won't be spoken to
for the rest of the day.
Yeah.
If it goes bad.
Why?
Because of the balancing and the...
Because it'll be your fault.
The weight imbalance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There'll be issues there.
Or you're just going to move your leverage point
if weight's an issue.
Oh, so what?
My leverage point's different than yours.
Is that you calling me fat?
No.
Are you dumb?
Did you not study physics?
So you're calling me fat and dumb.
See how what I've done there is I've made them not fat,
but now they're dumb.
Yeah.
They can't be angry at me because it's the lesser evil.
In their mind.
True.
That was...
I found another...
You know, I'm on my...
I'm on a bit of a binge at the moment of cultural celebration songs.
Yeah.
We've had Hava Nagila.
Yeah.
We smashed some plates of the Zorba the Greek before.
I've just found the Italian celebration song.
Oh, yeah.
Tarantalla, Napolitana.
This is a good one, eh?
Yeah.
Do they smash plates?
What do they do?
Eat pizza.
Hey!
Don't they? Oh Eat pizza. Hey! Don't they...
Oh, yeah.
Hey!
Hey!
You can throw something up in the air.
Pizza.
Pizza dough.
Yeah, yeah, yes.
Yeah.
Hey!
Well, that is our show today.
Is that it?
Are we done?
That's it.
Home time.
Well, after you vacuum out the plates that you smashed.
And you have to clear out
All your mandarin skins
So we don't get any more
Fruit flies
Yeah fruit flies
Kick this all off
Let's not forget
It was your
Abandoned mandarin skins
On Friday
That attracted the fruit fly
That initiated the hunt
That then we celebrated
A successful hunt
Of the fruit flies
I got a little bit
Carried away
And I smashed
Yeah
So it's my fault
He smashed the plates. Okay.
Five minutes away from nine. We've got
90 minutes of non-stop jams coming up if you
missed any of the show today. Watch
the live stream, FBMZM on
Facebook. That'll stop soon and then you'll be able to watch the
whole show or podcast wherever
you podcast. Have a fantastic day. Be
safe. Keep your distance.
Clean up your mandarin
skins. It's what we've learnt today.
Yes. And celebrate the
cultures of the world. Yes.
Great words. Amen.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
