ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Four minute showers.
Are you saying that long or it's short?
Well, that's short.
Yeah.
I'd probably be five or six. I wouldn't be much longer.
Why don't people, you're just standing there right after that?
Yeah.
You're just standing there in the hot water.
In summer I won't have as long a shower. No. In winter maybe because you're all
cold, just like warm up. Yeah.
Well, no Vaughn today.
Get the message this morning in the
group chat. He's got a
sore throat and a headache.
I mean, the rest of us
would take a panadol. Do you want to say
what you really said? No. Megan
has not been happy
about this this morning.
No.
She's like,
he better be effing dead.
He better be on his
effing deathbed.
Take a Panadol, mate.
Oh, my God.
You know when Vaughan
gets a tickle in his throat,
he's gravely ill.
So let's just all be respectful.
Because he did plant the seed
yesterday, didn't he?
And you said,
you better be.
I'm not in the mood to deal with your man flu this week.
I said, if he calls in sick, I'm not coming in.
And then he left it till I was in here.
Yeah.
He knows.
He knows.
But that's great.
Does that mean, Anya, Executive Producers,
do we divvy up his pay between the rest of us now for today?
Yes, I like that.
Because that should be a thing, shouldn't it?
Absolutely.
Let's do it.
I'll send an email to Bogsy right now.
That'd be great.
Thank you.
So if we're going to carry the load.
Yeah.
Just be a bit nicer, wouldn't it?
Make today a bit more bearable.
I also think we should charge Vaughan for some catering because we need extra energy.
Absolutely.
All right.
Send him the invoice.
Yeah.
Sounds great.
Now, coming in on the show today,
The Mill from The Bachelorette.
Daral.
Daral the Mole.
Yep.
Have you talked to him on your podcast?
You have, haven't you?
I have, and he is lovely to look at and talk to.
You've got a crush on the Mole, don't you?
Yeah, he's got some real charisma going.
He's a very attractive man.
You're in for a treat.
You've got the weirdest tasting guy.
Get out.
Hey, what are you saying about Daryl?
No, I just...
Nothing wrong with Daryl.
It's just like, you've got your boyfriend
who looks completely different to your boyfriend.
Yeah, look, I'm a smorgasbord.
Like a little bit of everything.
And the guy off the chase is completely different to the other two.
Oh, Megan Louise Pappers, throw me under the bus.
You've got a crush on the beast from The Chase.
I said he had a nice smile and he'd be very smart.
Right.
All right.
He would because imagine you're having dinner or you're making dinner
and The Chase is on.
He'd know all the answers.
He would.
I'm telling you.
Hot and smart.
He's a double threat.
Also joining us on the show this morning, Ursula Carlson.
I usually have one to like, because you know I'm a big fan of hers.
You're a fangirl, don't you?
Yeah.
Has she got a show coming up?
Is that what we're talking to her about or have you been paying attention?
I believe there's an exciting announcement to come.
Oh, okay. Yeah. So it'll be a show, won't it? talking to her about or have you been paying attention? I believe there's an exciting announcement to come.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So it'll be a show, won't it?
Maybe.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to say it yet. Oh, right, okay.
Say big things coming.
Hashtag big things coming.
Exciting announcement from Ursula.
Hashtag big things coming.
And also, ZM's $100,000 secret sound.
Current jackpot, $50,000.
So this is secret sound. Current jackpot, $50,000. So this is the sound.
We're going to give you a crack at that at seven.
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's story time.
Well, with Vaughn sick with the man flu.
I get to decide.
You get free reign, Megan.
Well, three news headlines,
interesting odd unusual news stories, interesting, odd,
unusual news stories, and just pick one. Headline one,
water skiing squirrel under investigation.
Could be on a video.
I'm going to Google it.
Well, it is a video, but it's obviously lost
on radio.
Headline two, Brazil tourism
Brazilian, it just says
Brazil tourism board keeps it real.
Shouldn't it be Brazilian Tourism Board?
Brazil Tourism Board.
Or Brazil's Tourist Board keeps it real.
Headline three, legislator wants to crack down on ice cream licking.
Those are your three news headlines.
Oh, my God.
The squirrel.
The squirrel.
The squirrel.
I suck at.
Do you get real excited when you're overseas and you see squirrels in the park?
And you're just like, ah!
And then I video them and all the locals are like, it's...
I know because it's like people coming here and like, I don't know, like taking pictures of...
Seagulls?
Like seagulls or like sparrows.
But they're so cute.
They're little tails.
Yeah.
And then they hold their food and they nibble it.
Super cute.
I kind of want the ice cream licking.
Okay.
Legislation.
They're cracking down on ice cream licking.
Yes.
You may.
Okay.
So you may remember this from.
Hang on.
Continue to the site.
I've just got a pop up ad.
Unbelievable.
You may remember last year there was a viral sensation around July.
I think it started on Twitter.
Yeah.
I don't know if it was a TikTok thing.
I don't think so.
I don't know if it was a TikTok thing.
I don't know if it was a TikTok.
No, because I think it was kind of pre-TikTok.
Right.
From what I've read here, people would go into supermarkets,
open the lid of ice cream, and lick them and put them back. I remember that. Do you remember that happening? TikTok. Right. From what I've read here, people would go into supermarkets,
open the lid of ice cream and lick them and put them back.
I remember that.
Do you remember that happening? Didn't we have one in New Zealand?
Did we?
I don't know.
No, not here.
I think it was overseas.
Okay.
So people would just, and then put the lid back on and put it in
and then someone would buy that.
Yeah.
Someone would buy that ice cream.
Don't they have little things on the side?
You have to crack that little sealy button thing.
You have to crack the seal.
Some of them have that bit of paper, don't they?
The ooh-la-la ones, you know, those little ones.
Well, there is a lawmaker in Arizona who wants to stop this,
and he is proposing that it become a crime
because apparently they were able to catch some of these people,
but there were no charges brought because existing law didn't specifically address the issue of opening ice cream or food,
licking it and putting it back.
Could it not be like stealing?
So the new law would make it legal to knowingly introduce, add or mingle any body fluid.
What are you doing?
I'm mingling my body fluid, foreign object, not intended for human consumption
or unsanitary surface with any water, food, drink
or other product consumed by a human being.
What about when people were putting needles in strawberries?
That was food tampering.
We have a law for that, don't we, in New Zealand?
Yeah, food tampering.
We've got a food tampering law, don't we?
And also maybe because that's like sharp
as opposed to bacteria. Yeah, whereas I don't know if And also maybe because that's like sharp as opposed to bacteria.
Yeah, whereas I don't know if you could just lick a strawberry
and put it back. What people would, if you could
be done for that. Yeah.
They would be subject
to a class 2 misdemeanor if this becomes
law. Up to $750
in fines or four months in
jail. If no one eats
a contaminated product and the damage
cause is less than $1,000,
the penalty jumps to a year
in prison if somebody eats the
ice cream. Wow.
All the damage is more than $1,000.
If the violator publishes
a photo or video
of the contamination on an internet
website. So they video themselves
and put it on TikTok, Instagram.
It goes up.
Really? It goes up to a class six misdemeanor.
Imagine going to jail.
Yeah, but I haven't seen any more like ice cream banditry.
No.
Online, but yeah, crazy.
Good Lord.
You're in jail, what are you in here for?
Lick some ice cream?
Videoed it?
Yeah, what are you?
Murder.
Yeah.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
We are a couple of years away from female Viagra.
There's a picture, and I don't know if they're just having a laugh
or whether it is actually going to be a pink pill.
Oh, yeah, it's blue.
It's blue for guys.
So researchers have said that they're working on a Viagra-like pill
which will boost
female sex drives. And yeah, it's
two years away. Do you know Viagra
was released in 1998?
Yeah, because it was a
heart medication. It was one of
those accidental discovery
things. They were giving it to all these like
old mates in rest homes and
yeah, it was stopping them
rolling out of bed.
Oh my God.
Because they were like,
well, what's happening down here, doc?
Yeah.
And then they were like,
oh, we've hit a moneymaker.
Because I just Googled Pfizer,
who makes Viagra,
generated 640 million US dollars
in 2018 alone,
just from Viagra.
Wow.
That's not even taken into account all over the world.
Yeah.
Well, female sexual dysfunction is a thing,
and this is what it's going to help.
So it will just boost female sex drive.
Around 40% of women suffer from FSD.
Right.
So it's needed.
Yeah, because it's,
I never really thought about that because with guys
you've got to be able to,
that's why you need the blue pill if you
can't. Yeah. Yeah, right.
Yeah. But they tested out,
they have actually gone to like human
testing. So 940
women. Imagine being on that panel.
They had to keep a diary. Signing up for a drug test.
Yeah. You do one of those weekends.
When you sign up, do you not know what it is?
I don't know.
Do you think they'd tell you?
Just try this pill.
Yeah, and then, do you feel horny?
They get that Austin Powers impersonator.
And he's like, yeah, tell me, do I make you feel horny?
Yeah.
And then they have to write about it in their little diary.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm just reading more, but I can't actually talk about that.
Egan, give us an insight into your Thailand story or nah?
Egan, that was off air.
Unbelievable.
The pharmacy, let's just say the pharmacy's over there, very loose.
Yeah.
Apparently they've cracked down on that though.
Yeah.
Which is probably a good thing.
It's probably a good thing.
You're not going to see blue anymore.
Apparently that's a side effect.
Right.
Yeah.
We're all just like, are we going blind?
Is this forever?
Anyway.
Is that a story for another day?
That's definitely not an on-air story, Megan.
That was, you know, when we were offair and I was telling you that hilarious story?
Yeah. Yeah, that was for off-air.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
United Airlines.
They
have come out and said that they are
training crew to do
something, to deal with something that
passengers are doing.
Mile high club. They really
shouldn't have to be told not to do.
Is it the mile high?
No.
Going into the toilets?
No.
Getting, like, taking their shoes off?
Like you did.
Once.
Famously once and stunk out a whole plane.
No, it's not drying.
Have you seen that?
There was that person the other week drying their socks with the air vent.
What?
They must have had wet socks or, like, sweaty socks.
In the main cabin. They were holding it up to the air vent to dry? They must have had wet socks or like sweaty socks. In the main cabin.
They were holding it up
to the air vent
to dry their sock.
Not that.
Okay.
It is people watching
porn on planes
on their iPads
or their iPhones
or their devices.
Wow.
And they've actually
kind of been shamed
into doing this.
There is a
there's a list
that's been made up,
the US National Centre of Sexual Exploitation.
They do a dirty dozen list,
which shames companies that maybe don't do enough
or facilitate things happening.
Yeah, right.
Under their watch, I guess.
The only airline to make the list was United
because apparently, yeah,
people have been caught or seen.
But many other airlines, just in this news story,
there's someone was on a Delta flight.
They said, would you like porn with your pretzels?
And there's a video of someone on Delta in their seat
watching something on their phone
and someone's just put it on Twitter
just to try and shame them.
Who's watching porn on a plane?
I know.
Because I get like real embarrassed when there's like, I'm watching something and then like
there's a sex scene or something and you're like, oh my God.
I was on the plane yesterday and I looked over and this girl was watching this, lady
was watching this, must have been a movie or a TV show and there's like all these like
shirtless hot guys.
And she was kind of like this.
She was like, like kind of waiting for that scene.
Like, oh, I'm not really watching this.
Yeah.
I'm watching this.
You suddenly become very aware of everyone else around you.
That's on the in-flight entertainment system.
Yeah.
That's allowed to be there.
You would imagine.
Yeah.
And the one scene could,
you know,
like you didn't know it was going to be in there.
Yes.
You haven't purposely gone to go and watch a sex scene.
Whereas if kids are around.
Yeah.
That's what people have the problem with.
And rightly so.
You shouldn't watch porn on a plane.
I think we all know that.
Also, I don't.
Like, what are you going to, what's the end game there?
That's what I was going to say.
I didn't know how to say that.
What's the end game?
Like, wait till you get there.
That's so weird.
Or do it before you.
And how, so does it say how they're supposed to approach them?
What do you do
Do you just go up
And be like
Excuse me sir
Or it said that
It will commit to help
Flight attendants
Stamp down
On the watching
I don't know
It doesn't really say
Just that they've
Strengthened their training
I guess how they're going
To respond to people
And maybe ask them
Politely not to do that
And then if they say no,
taser them, tie them up down the back of the plane.
I don't know.
What would you do if someone beside you
started watching porn?
I would just be like,
are you kidding me?
This is actually happening right now.
Would you say anything to them?
You'd have to.
I wouldn't.
I'd just press my call button.
You deal with this.
Or you could get up
and then go and tell someone down the back, like pretend you go to the toilet. Oh, immediately I was like, I'd just press my call button. Be like, you deal with this. Well, you could get up and then go and tell someone down the back,
like pretend you're going to the toilet.
Oh, immediately I was like, I'm in the middle seat
and I have to get past them though.
Oh, yeah, right.
Are they on the aisle?
Yeah.
Right.
I don't know who does that.
But yeah, in this article, there's literally,
it's tagged in posts of people online that have seen people on planes.
Wow. doing this.
It's a problem, and that's why United Airlines have had to
include it in their crew training.
No shame. I know, right?
Alright.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast. ZM.
Oh, I'm so grossed out.
There is something we should be doing once
a week, but I
have never even thought about doing this.
Is it washing your sheets?
Because it grosses me out when people don't wash their sheets at the weekend.
Yeah.
No, we have spoken about this.
I'm like, every fortnight I wash my sheets.
No, even in summer when it's all sweaty and manx?
I'm getting nods in the producer's booth.
Oh, yeah, but that's...
Georgia, how often?
Same, exactly, every fortnight.
Depending, though.
Every weekend, do it every weekend.
What if we're not here?
Yeah, I don't have time.
There are more important things to do, Fletch.
You're very quiet, aren't you?
No one else's sheets seem as much action,
so they don't need us regular watching.
You're saying Fletch's, what are you doing?
Don't turn this back around on me because I'm hygienic.
It's understandable, you need a frequent wash.
You need Jesus too.
Good from you, good from you.
The sass, you need Jesus.
I don't think Jesus can do anything.
I just walk by a church and I turn warm.
So we should be.
Actually, how often you wash your sheets every week?
Yep.
How often do you wash your reusable bags?
Your grocery bags?
Never.
I've never, ever washed them.
Are you saying we should be doing that once a week?
Yes. When you think about it, you put them. Neither have I. Are you saying we should be doing that once a week? Yes.
When you think about it, you put them down on all these surfaces.
You put...
And the supermarket.
You put them down on the self-serve and the trolleys.
Oh, yuck.
And also you should be using certain bags for certain things.
Don't cross-contaminate because you're putting your meat juices in with your apples.
I put my meat juices in with your apples. I put my meat juices
in the same bag.
Yeah.
So they're saying
you need to wash it
at least once a week.
And...
I'm guessing
old manky sheets
McGee's out there,
don't you?
You don't wash your...
Nah, never.
Never.
Never.
But do you think
they could do
even a gentle wash
because don't they have
a cardboardy bottom bit?
You take that out.
You take that out?
Yeah.
But then you've got to wash that too.
Give that a spray and wipe maybe.
Oh, yeah.
With a nice chemical cleaner.
It's a lot of effort though, isn't it?
I mean, I've survived this far.
Are you saying just buy new ones?
No, just keep going the way you're going.
What does it tell you?
Because you think about it, if you're buying tins and stuff, they're already wrapped, right?
Yeah.
What does it matter?
But you'll produce and then you put meat in.
But I've got my produce in my little mesh bags, which I never wash.
Right.
But it's also, you're putting stuff, you're putting it down in the supermarket, you're
putting it down in your house.
Yeah.
It can pick up any kind of germs.
We're not alone though.
Our Instagram poll, do you wash your reusable grocery bags?
89% of respondents say no.
Oh my God.
So there's 11% of us that are washing them.
In this study that I'm looking at, 97% said they didn't wash them.
Oh wow.
Never even considered it.
I never even thought about it.
And then you also, you put them back in your boot and that's manky.
And have you ever put like, because I'm pretty sure I've put gym stuff in there once when I didn't have, like, shoes and stuff.
Oh, yuck.
Yeah, that's manky.
Yeah.
Hey, this is a safe place for opening up.
Hey, maybe today, after you've done your sheets, or maybe in two weeks' time when you've done your sheets, Anya, let's wash our reusable bags.
Hang them on the line.
God, we already have to remember to take them and put them in the car.
But then we're turning into mum and nana.
If you're washing, like, plastic bags and hanging them on the clothesline,
do your nanny ever do that?
That means you need some more friends if you're getting to that point.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
So pizza is a very dangerous food, it turns out.
Right.
In the United States, there is a record number of people going to the emergency room, and it's related to pizza.
More than avocados?
I'd say up there.
Because avocados, it's amazing how many people stab their hand.
Yeah.
I'll always use the bench.
And some of these injuries are similar to that.
So it's not just eating the pizza.
Right.
People are stabbing themselves with knives when they're trying to cut the pizza.
They're slicing their fingers with those pizza rollers.
Oh.
But in America, it went up by 50%.
People who are hurted themselves.
Hurted?
Hurted.
Oh, my God.
People who hurt themselves after doing stuff with pizza.
Right.
There were 3,800 visits to the emergency room
after dealing with pizza.
Some of these included falling up or downstairs
carrying pizza boxes.
Some of them are big though.
Yeah, because if you have one of those giant pizzas,
the New York style pizzas,
yeah, that's almost as wide as the stairs.
See where you're going.
I get that.
Yeah, so 3,800.
Also like lots of cutting the fingers.
One of my favourite, that sounds weird to say because he hurt himself,
but a guy forked his mouth with,
he was trying to eat pizza with a fork
and scraped the roof of his mouth with a fork.
That'll teach you for knife and forking.
For using a fork.
Yeah, don't use.
Someone swallowed.
It's like when I see people knife and forking with chicken wings.
Oh, no, that's madness.
Pick them up and eat them.
No.
And burgers.
Don't order chicken wings if you're not prepared to get your hands dirty because that's.
You know, you're at a restaurant and everyone's doing burgers and there's always one that's
knife and forking.
It's like, no, just pack it up and make a mess.
It's a burger.
It's allowed.
Yeah.
Someone swallowed their tongue ring after eating a slice of pizza.
And yeah, lots of cutting their hands.
So just be careful when you...
But some of these sound like they're making their own pizza.
Too expensive.
Oh, yeah.
It's always cheaper to...
Just order it.
All thanks to Save My Bacon, you could be winning the cash.
Thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis.
And up this morning is Emily.
Good morning, Emily.
How are you? Emily. I'm good. I'm well. Emily. How are you?
Emily. I'm good.
I'm well. Hello. How are you?
Well. Not... Yeah, you're well.
You're well. Just well. I think that's better English. You're supposed to say, I'm well.
Yeah, well, you're not sick like Vaughan, so you're
well. You are well. Well, she might have a
headache and a sore throat, but, you know, she
took a Panadol.
Soundkeeper Gary, good morning.
Good morning. I'm back.
You said to us before you had an old man weekend.
I did.
What's an old man weekend?
Well, I went strawberry picking on Thursday.
I went to Queen on Friday.
I gardened all Saturday and I was in bed by 8 o'clock on Sunday.
That's an old man weekend.
That's an old man weekend.
All right.
Well, the current jackpot, $50,000.
Or maybe not.
Maybe not yet.
Is this our very first secret sound jackpot?
It is.
It is.
Yes.
Obviously, we had a bit of a kerfuffle on Friday.
This is making up for you not turning up to work.
Yeah, basically.
You did a born on Friday.
That's right. Yeah, basically. You did a born on Friday. That's right, yeah.
That was my turn on Friday.
So I thought to make up for it, we're going to raise the jackpot to $51,000,
which is officially a new Secret Sound record.
We've never given away more than 50 grand.
Yeah, but is this your tight asses jackpot ever?
I'm spinning it here.
I'm spinning it.
Come on.
It did sound like a bit of a spin.
Well, $51,000, Emily.
How does that sound?
That sounds amazing.
What would you do with that cash?
I'd have to pay off maybe some loans
and save the rest.
You're so responsible, Emily.
That's what she's telling us.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe a bit of shopping.
Okay, well, our secret sound.
This is it.
I had a lot of questions over the weekend.
Do you know the secret sound?
I think it's this.
Someone said, and then someone hit me up,
and they were like, it's definitely chips.
It's a packet of chips.
I was like, that was a guess last week.
So, no, it's not a packet of chips.
Listen, would you?
$51,000 is yours if you can tell us what that sound is, Emily.
What do you think it is, mate?
Okay.
Is it a party popper?
Right. Like one of the ones on the string.
Yeah, are we talking like the smaller one
or like those big ones that we shoot off sometimes?
Like a small one.
Yeah.
Because I gasp after I pop it.
I'm like, it always gives you a fright.
But you're assuming the gasp is human, not the sound.
Yeah.
So it's like the string, the pop, the fright from doing it,
and then the frills coming out.
The frills.
The confetti.
Yeah.
I get that.
That's a good guess.
It is a popular guess.
I see it quite a lot on the socials.
So you're doing everybody a favour, Emily.
By eliminating it.
It is not the secret sound.
Oh, Emily, good guess, though.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Vaughan's sick today.
Just the latest update, still headachy and man flu symptoms showing.
Carrie.
So the Bachelorettes, there's two of them, Lily and Alessina.
And they are good friends, it seems.
They've next leveled.
They've leveled up in their friendship.
It's quite an odd, because it's been done before in Bachelor history in the US.
Yeah.
Where they've got two of them at once.
Yeah.
And they're not really competing against each other, are they?
No.
I feel because they're into different.
Different guys.
Yeah.
They're different stages in life and stuff.
And I also heard that they refused to do the show if they were going to be competing for guys.
So they'd made an agreement that they were going to work together
and if one of them really liked a guy,
then they'd have a discussion about it
if they both were fighting over the same guy.
They didn't want to fight.
Certainly make for better TV if they wanted to fight.
I mean, that's probably what they were hoping for, right?
Yeah.
So the Bachelorettes, they are obviously going to Argentina
and they have got matching tattoos.
On their last day in Argentina, this is on their socials,
they got matching tattoos which says muchos novios.
Novios?
What does it mean?
Muchos novios.
It means many boyfriends in Spanish.
Yes.
I love that.
Brilliant. So it looks like they both got it on their leg, bottom of their Yes. I love that. Brilliant.
So it looks like they both got it on their leg,
bottom of their leg.
Many boyfriends.
Nobios.
Yeah.
With a little asterisk,
by the way, I was on The Bachelorette.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's very much a Lily thing to do.
Like, I totally get that she did it.
But yeah, Lucina got a matching one.
Whereabouts did you say?
On the leg.
It looks like on the bottom of the calf muscle.
Oh, okay.
So that can't be hidden easily apart from if you're wearing pants.
If you're wearing a tall sock.
Oh, yeah, pants.
Megan's like, how do I cover up all of my leg?
A tall sock.
Or pants.
Pants is more logical.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, God, I've got to go out tonight. I don't want people to see my tattoo. Got to wear long socks again. Sock. Pants. Or pants. Pants is more logical. Yeah, it is more like, yeah.
Oh, God, I've got to go out tonight.
I don't want people seeing my tattoo.
Got to wear long socks again.
With my dress.
Yeah.
I think it's because you hardly ever wear pants, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You were like, what would I do?
Long socks.
Yeah.
So the two of them have got matching tattoos now.
And obviously because they went through this whole experience together,
it's like brought them closer.
That's an early, like that's an early friends tattoo.
But even if they don't end up staying really close friends,
the tattoo means something individually.
Like it was quite an intense time in both of their lives.
Yeah.
And it's a good, obviously good memories for them.
Yeah.
And lots of people,
I know I have so many friends that get matching tattoos.
Most of them,
they would stand alone
on their own.
So even if your friendship
falls apart.
So you would never get
like a best friend's name?
No.
But maybe something
that symbolises
your friendship together?
Yes.
Yeah,
that could stand alone.
You say,
how many people do you know that do?
Because I know like one.
Four.
I know four people off the top of my head.
I guess that's lots.
Yeah.
I mean, I guess it's lots in the scheme of things, like all your friends.
And me and my best friend have always talked about getting matching tattoos, but I don't know what.
But you've got your cute matching jackets.
You and Ali got matching jackets.
Yeah, we've got best friend jackets.
So that's like the next.
That's fine because you can just wear those out every now and again.
And it's not, you know, permanently on your skin.
On your body.
Yeah.
But then neither of us have tattoos.
So we're not tattoo people really, are we?
Like you say you've talked about it, but you will never will, will you?
I don't know.
Do you still?
Because I'd get Andrew's name tattooed on me.
And I know what people think about that but I'm like
if we broke up I'd just be like
aha that's my ex-husband.
Yeah true yeah.
Or you could just get it covered over and turn into
like a couch or something. Like a
knife.
That's slightly scary.
Post divorce. Yeah.
I think we've got to, I'd love to take some calls on this.
Do you have a best friend matching tattoo?
And are you still friends?
Bonus points if you're not friends.
Yeah.
And bonus points if it says like their name and you're not friends.
But maybe it is, maybe it's something cute, symbolizes your friendship.
Yeah.
Do you have matching friend tattoos?
0800 dials at M.
Give us a text 9696
Me, you and Vaughn should get matching tattoos
Cute
You're just like no
Absolutely not
Why not?
What could we get?
Skin matching jackets
Okay, let's do that then
Because yeah, we're eventually going to fall out, aren't we?
This is going to last forever.
We are talking about the Bachelorettes
who have revealed that they have best friend matching tattoos.
It says muchos novios.
Sorry if I'm saying that wrong.
Spanish for many boyfriends.
And they got it in Argentina.
Not wrong.
It's the Bachelorette.
There were many boyfriends.
Yeah.
Brilliant.
That tattoo makes sense on its own if they don't end up being, you know, like besties forever.
For sure.
For sure.
So we want to know from you this morning if you've got a best friend matching tattoo.
Some messages, Instagram, DM.
Four of us got care bears.
Don't talk to any of the other three anymore.
Dumbest idea ever.
Why Care Bears?
I don't know. Maybe they were young and it was cute.
Yeah. Did they all get different Care Bears?
Well, at least
it's like, you know, it's not like a
lock and key, you know.
Me and my sis have a sun and moon
on our ankles. Imagine being
like that close with your sister or brother.
I know.
That's weird, eh?
Because my brother would want something real bogan.
He'd get one of those rotary things, eh?
Or like someone doing like that.
What's that symbol?
Like rock on.
Like a rah.
Yeah.
Like a, what would he do for to Holden?
Holden.
Holden.
You're a Holden family, eh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Probably get a Holden logo.
Imagine if I came to work with a Holden tattoo. eh? Yeah. Yeah. Probably get a Holden logo.
Imagine if I came to work with a Holden tattoo.
Oh, you'd never hear the end of it.
It'd be like, we'd have to do something.
We'd have to get that on the billboards.
Yes, me and my sister were both born on the 24th and both have the number 24.
Somebody asked this message in, yes.
Thanks for elaborating on that.
That's great.
Me and my best friend both have a dog wearing a girl guide sash drawn by my 14-year-old brother.
Wow.
Brilliant.
Yes, me and my best friends have the same tiny heart.
Oh, see, that's so good.
So that's cool because that can stand alone.
Yeah.
I just thought of another one.
My friend Luke and his best friend have the Friends logo.
Oh, my gosh.
Do you remember that?
Yes.
Makes me laugh.
It's under his sock.
It's always under the sock. Okay, so he can cover it up.
I like saying, hey, show everyone your tattoo.
Of course you do.
Of course I do.
We'll take some calls.
Paige, you and your best friend have matching what?
Paige.
Oh, g'day.
That's me.
You're up, babes.
Me and my best friend, a.k.a. my boyfriend, went to Bali and got matching butterfly tattoos.
How does that look on him?
It's really good.
He went balls to the wall.
His is way bigger than mine.
And it, I don't know, suits him.
Where is it?
On our arms.
Okay.
Right.
So he's got it in the same spot too.
He went real big.
Yeah. I mean, he's got it in the same spot too. He went real big. Yeah.
I mean, he has to compensate.
For what, Paige?
What?
Paige, I mean, you're on the radio.
I'm not a morning person.
This is making my morning fun.
All right, Paige, well, good luck.
You might have to get a big tattoo there to make up for that.
Exposure on the radio.
Thanks for that.
Sophie,
you've got matching tattoo with who?
Hey,
so we didn't end up going through with the tattoo because it was with my best friend.
We were going to get like a symbolic cutesy one.
Yeah.
And the day before our booked in date to get it done, I found out she slept with my boyfriend.
And she thought she was pregnant.
So to say the least, it was worth losing the hundred bucks deposit.
Oh my God.
So she obviously knew all that and she was still going to get a matching tattoo with you.
Yeah, I only found out because my other best friend had been, she'd been
bragging about it to her.
What? So what were you
going to get tattooed on you?
We were just, you know, the sun and moon
that they talked about earlier with the
sister and the two sisters.
Yeah, we were going to get that because
of our hair colour. Right.
And we, yeah,
it was a good idea to not go through with it in the end.
That was.
Oh my God, you came so close to having a permanent reminder that your best friend's a piece of
shit.
Hey, Sophie, thanks for your call.
Ask some texts.
May I do it?
Yes.
Someone said me and my mate have matching tattoos on our bum.
Actually, I don't know if I can read what that says.
I'm glad I pre-read that.
It's, um,
yeah, yep. You forget when Vaughn's away
how good he is at pre-
He self-censors and pre-reads ahead.
Yeah. Someone,
my wife and her brother,
so they're siblings, they have
their dad's signature after he
passed away. That's
nice. That's nice.
My brother and I.
No, because you know some people have an ugly signature.
Yeah.
Unless it was an ugly signature.
Like Vaughn's is just Vaughn. Oh, yeah, it looks like, yeah.
Vaughn.
Yeah.
So many people getting them with their siblings.
It's so crazy to me.
It's so weird.
You get on with your, like, brother or sister.
And you have, like, both can agree on an idea.
Yeah.
My brother and I have puzzle pieces.
We're twins.
That's cute.
I like that.
Oh, my God.
Do you know, I saw a lady the other day, an old nan, waiting for the plane.
She was doing a puzzle on her iPad.
Do you know you can do puzzles on an iPad?
And she was dragging the pieces, and she had, like, all the little pieces in the corner of the screen,
and she was dragging them out. I was like, nan little pieces in the corner of the screen and she was dragging them out.
I was like, what's that called?
No, that sounds fun.
That sounds great because you can take your puzzle anywhere because you know how if you're
doing a puzzle at home.
I know you can't take a puzzle on a plane.
Yeah, you can't pack it up and take it with you.
I know.
I need to know the name of that.
And then the other thing is the other day, I don't know why I've been exposed to puzzles
a lot because, you know, last week I would never
have had these stories
but I saw an all black puzzle.
All the pieces are black.
Yeah, okay.
Now, I want to see
that old lady
go home and do that one.
I've done one
where it's just like,
you know,
like a newspaper.
I've done that
because it's really hard
because there's no picture
to create.
No, but that's not as hard
as an all black puzzle.
It's just lots of writing.
Yeah, but it's still, you know which way the pieces go up.
That's the big start.
Yeah, I'm working my way up to the black one.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
We'll do an all-black puzzle and then come back to me and I'll be impressed.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
I bloody knew that when we saw a picture of all of the friends together,
so Rachel Ross, blah, blah, blah, blah of the friends together, so Rachel, Ross,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. No, actual names.
Actual names. Jennifer,
Courtney, Lisa, Matt, Matthew
and David. Dave, thank you. All together.
Yeah. That there was something
happening and they've denied that there's going to be
like a new series.
They've denied there's going to be any kind of reunion.
Did you see over the weekend Chandler
finally got Instagram?
I followed all of them just yesterday.
Yeah.
Because I was like, oh my God, they're actually all on there.
Yeah.
He literally was the last one to do it.
When I looked, he had like 4.5 million followers.
When I looked, he had like a million.
So he's going up. And one post.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it seems that there will be a reunion of sorts.
Now, this is going to be a special.
All of them will be there.
It's rumoured that they will earn around $2.25 to $2.5 million each
for this one-hour special.
So it'll still be filmed like in front of a live studio audience.
It'll be exactly like it was filmed?
It's not going to be an episode.
It's going to be like an interview situation.
So Ellen DeGeneres is going to do a sit down with all of them.
And it will be retrospective interviews with the cast.
Maybe they'll show bits and then explain them.
I don't know.
But it is going to be like interview type format.
Because when I heard all of this at the weekend,
I was like, they're just going to do a big hour long episode.
No, not an episode.
Oh.
Yeah.
Boo.
But then I don't know if I'd want to see an hour long episode.
You know what I mean?
Like it might not be as good as.
I don't think they want to do any more like episodes
because just leave it how it was.
Yeah, right.
Originally they were offered a million dollars to do this
and they turned it down.
So you know they're getting more than that.
Just for an interview?
Yeah, for an hour-long interview with Ellen.
That is nuts.
That's $12.5 million for just them
and that's not including how much they have to pay Ellen to do it as well.
So this is why it's on HBO
because that was my other question is
why would it be on HBO when it was on NBC because that was my other question is why would it be on HBO
when it was on NBC?
Friends was an NBC show
it was like in America
like a network there.
Yeah.
I was like how can HBO
just come in and make a show?
But yeah it's just
an interview series.
Wow okay.
Yeah.
I'd still watch it though.
Oh yeah everyone
that's the thing
you pay 12 million dollars
it's gonna go around the world
it's gonna be watched
a bajillion times.
And have they ever done an interview all together?
I don't remember saying.
Yeah, I don't think so, no.
We don't know when this is happening
but yeah, it's coming. Right, and then they're like,
and Chandler, how's it been?
Yeah. Because that's going to be an awkward
like, you know, if they get 15 minutes each
he's going to have to talk about
the drugs and everything there, isn't he?
Yeah. I mean, you know, getting paid all that money, you've got drugs and everything there, isn't he? Yeah.
I mean, you know, getting paid all that money, you've got to kind of spill the details.
Yeah.
He's obviously quite happy.
He's been quite open with it recently.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
If you go to a bar club in New Zealand and you get your ID scanned now, it's going to be more and more common.
You may have experienced this in Australia.
I've seen this in Australia where you go into a bar,
you've got to swipe your driver's license,
or I'm assuming maybe your passport as well,
and then it takes a photo of you and it stores your info.
If you're good, it's deleted.
What is it?
If you're ever kicked out of a bar,
because I've had friends in Aussie tell me about this,
if you're kicked out or anything, you cause
trouble, they've got a record of you
and you can be banned from like all the bars in
Sydney that use the same system.
It's all linked up. It's called patron scan.
Yeah, so the same
system will be used here
as is over there. So yeah, if
you're naughty, you're not going to get in here either.
So they literally yeah, if you're naughty, you're not going to get in here either. So they literally can see
if you are naughty in any aspect of your life
and it's not designed to be like Big Brother.
It's supposed to stop criminals coming in
or like people who like to cause drama.
Like just start fights and stuff.
What about people that reach behind the bar
because they're waiting for a vodka cruiser and they just get sick of waiting. So they grab the coke fountain and put, right. Yeah. What about people that reach behind the bar because they're waiting for a vodka cruiser
and they just get sick of waiting, so they grab the coke fountain and put it in their mouth?
Should you deserve to be kicked out of a club for that?
And have a black...
Waiters and bar staff love it when you do that.
Because it saves them time, you know?
Yeah, of course it does.
When they're really busy, just reach across, help yourself.
They don't have to serve me, exactly.
Yeah, they love that.
It's definitely not getting you kicked out.
I've always wanted to use that little Coke gun.
Is that a thing?
You guys don't care?
I've worked in a bar and used the Coke gun.
Oh, so you know what it's like?
Is it cool?
I've never put it in my mouth.
No, yeah, but...
Despite having wanted to.
Because what do all the buttons mean?
How do they know which is Sprite?
It's got written, like there's S and like...
Okay.
I think Coke had Coke written on it.
Okay. Soda. I don't know, it's written on it. Okay. It's really written, like there's S and like, I think Coke had Coke written on it. Okay.
Soda.
I don't know.
It's written on it.
It's really not that exciting.
Well, of course it's not exciting for you because you've used it lots, but I've never used a Coke gun.
Right.
It would be super exciting for once.
The best bit is when the syrups run out and then you take a big swig of that and it tastes awful.
Oh yeah, I've had that before.
I've been on the receiving end of that.
Yeah, and I bet they heard about it, didn't they?
This is flat.
Yeah, but in Christchurch,
there's bars in Christchurch that are using this already.
Okay.
So just behave yourselves.
Otherwise you might be banned.
And I'd say it goes both ways if you're naughty in New Zealand.
Kind of fair enough.
If you're starting fights and nobody wants that,
if you're getting banned from places because you're a shithead,
then fair enough.
Dealing with people on a reg sober sucks.
Imagine the bar people.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know how they do it, eh?
Dealing with lick it up people must be terrible.
Yeah, but apparently it makes people,
once you scan their ID when they go in,
it makes people behave themselves a little more.
I bet it does. Yeah, because they've got your
ID. But yeah, that's amazing that if
they're using it across, if it's big in Australia
then yeah, you go to Australia and you cause trouble.
Or vice versa. Or vice versa, yeah.
If you cause trouble here and then you go on holiday
to Aussie, they're not going to let you in over
there either. God, there'll be
a few Gold Coast holiday
coming back to haunt people now, won't there?
Yeah.
Joined in studio by Daryl the Mole. a few Gold Coast holiday coming back to haunt people now, aren't there? Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan,
the podcast, ZM.
Joined in studio by Daryl the Mole.
Kia ora.
Good morning.
Weird calling you the Mole.
Mole.
The Mole.
The Mole.
I'm used to walking down the street now and people going,
Mole, Moley, Moley, Moley, Moley.
Haven't heard that before, brother.
Really?
Yeah, really, really.
Especially down Ponsonby for some reason.
Classy people.
They love it.
Wow.
Well, this is, how exciting to do what you did
because you go and undercover, you're getting all the goss.
It was cool.
You're in on it.
It was a lot of fun.
And being in on it was the clincher for me.
I got rung up and they said, do you want to be on the show?
And I said, absolutely not.
And then they said, no, no, you're going to be an inside guy, a mole.
You get to get in there and infiltrate and all that sort of thing.
And as somebody who doesn't particularly like reality TV,
I thought I can be the ears and eyes of the many people who are like me
and, you know, we think we're above it.
But I had fun and I got to, you know, do what I did.
It was good.
Yeah.
Well, there was a dramatic moment last night that we need to talk about.
Oh, heavens.
Quinn, I've had my doubts about you from the beginning,
but it's become apparent after talking to Daryl
and after your behaviour last night
that the truth is you're not here for the right reasons.
And so Lily and I have decided
that you won't be joining us in Argentina.
The music is so intense when you don't have the visuals.
It's like...
No matter how intense that music was,
it was nothing compared to how I felt standing there
knowing that he was going to go.
Obviously those watching are in the know,
but the backstory is that everyone is going to Argentina.
Yeah.
So the announcement's made at the rose ceremony.
Everyone's going to Argentina.
And then the next morning you show up.
Oh, there's one more step.
Everyone gets in the vans to go to the airport
to go to Argentina airport to go to
Argentina. Uncle Art
comes out and says, boys, come out of the bus.
Stand here. Lucina's got a secret.
Daryl walks out. Bombshell.
You're kind of like the snitch.
How have the guys reacted?
Have you spoken to Glenn,
for example, since? I have.
I have. In fact,
okay,
so I've caught up with Glenn
since it happened.
Yeah.
It's not a secret
that these things get filmed
earlier on, right?
Yeah.
So I have caught up
with Glenn later on.
I said,
mate,
I owe you a beer
to be honest.
And we had a chat
and it's just for TV
and all that sort of thing.
I broke up.
I'm trying to,
you know,
make the guy feel okay.
And he was,
it was,
it was all good.
It was all good.
But he,
yeah,
nah,
he's just an interesting cat. Right. And the reason he was it was all good it was all good but he yeah nah he's just an interesting cat
right
and the reason he was sent
home
yeah
is
several things
um
is because
Glenn
no he
yeah
he was just an interesting dude
and I think
um
I didn't need
as far as a mole goes
as far as somebody's
trying to find
inside things on guys
I didn't need to do much on Glenn because he was so overt about how he was.
And I was like, dude, are you really like this?
This is amazing TV.
I don't need to do anything.
But the clincher for us was he kept flipping and flopping between Lucina and Lily.
And he was team Lucina all the way.
And he even gave her the letter earlier on and all that.
And then he switches pretty quickly to Lily.
And then he goes for the double handhold with Lucina.
And it's like, nah, you're out.
It's too much.
Yeah.
And that was the clincher.
But there's been backlash online.
That was a ruthless way to tell him.
I think it's karma.
I think it's karma.
He doesn't deserve to go to Argentina. He didn't deserve to go to Argentina. I don't think so's karma. I'm totally, I think it's karma. Yeah. He doesn't deserve to go to Argentina.
He didn't deserve to go to Argentina.
I don't think so, no.
But then why are people outraged because this is reality TV and this is what happened?
I think the outrage stems from how it was done, right?
It should have, a lot of people are saying it should have been done at the rose ceremony
rather than say, yes, Glenn, you're going to Argentina and then no, you're not.
It was pretty mean.
It was mean.
But again, you're absolutely right.
It's reality TV.
I mean, it's television.
They're trying to create, they do create drama
and the situation, what happened had to happen.
The way it happens, you know, it's entertaining, I guess.
But that's real life.
If you're a douchebag, sometimes bad things happen.
That's right.
But you didn't get to go to Argentina either.
No, I was pregnant about that. Well, you're just like, come on, you need a mole in Argentina. That's right. But you didn't get to go to Argentina either. No, I was more excited about that.
Well, you're just like,
come on, you need a mole in Argentina.
Right, right.
I was like,
come on, give me a couple of weeks.
Ole, I'm ready for it.
No chance.
So last night I watched the show
and I was like,
whatever, dicks.
Damn it.
Fine.
So as someone who does have the inside
on all the guys,
who's your favourite?
Who do you reckon
should be with each
of the bachelorettes um i like for lily i like terrence yeah and i like probably jesse has yeah
those two guys personality wise they suit her because she's crazy we love jesse because we
know jesse he's worked here for many years.
He's a nice boy.
He's a good boy.
When I saw him fart on the couch, I was like, oh, God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How's this going to go?
That's the Jessie we know.
Oh, they didn't show.
Okay, no.
There's a lot they probably couldn't show. One thing they didn't show.
This was classic.
It was one of the best things of the whole experience being there.
He gets on his back, lifts his legs up,
and does the most amazing lit fart.
Yep, that's Jessie.
It was just like whoosh whoosh
I've never seen
such a pyrotechnics
display out of a bum
but I think Lily
would appreciate that
she would
she wasn't there
at the time
but I'm pretty sure
Lucina would not
appreciate that
yeah
and for Lucina
Lucina's probably
treated someone
that's burnt their arsehole
probably
she probably knows
why you shouldn't be doing that I think Lucina who would be good for Lucina's probably treated someone that's burnt their arsehole. Probably, yeah. She probably knows why you shouldn't be doing that.
I think Lucina, who would be good for Lucina?
I think, you know, I would have said, I would have said Kurt.
But he's no longer with us.
Yeah.
This is hard.
I'm trying to remember who else is out there.
For a moment there, I was like, did he die?
Oh, no, he got sick.
No, no, he's no longer with us.
He's jumped off the planet.
No.
Who else is there Steve
Steve
Uncle Steve
straight away
you're like Steve
Steve
I forgot it
how could I forget
Steve he was my
roommate
Steve's a good dude
yeah
like such a lovely
guy and real honest
and last night
a mob
Aaron
tried to throw him
under the bus
with you know
telling Lucina that he smokes cigarettes.
Yeah.
But that's for Steve to tell, not for Aaron just to go, oh, by the way.
Yeah.
And then the way Steve had him up toward the end of the show,
I was like, that's awesome, bro.
Yeah.
You know, he was just like nailing it on the head right then and there.
Yeah.
And just really cornered him.
And I thought, that's a really, that's a cool man that you did that.
Yeah.
Wasn't terribly aggressive.
He was just like, don't even do that to me.
Straight up.
Yeah. There were some moments where they, people discussed you cool man that you did that. Yeah. Wasn't terribly aggressive. He was just like, don't even do that to me. Straight up, yeah.
There were some moments where people discussed you being a mole,
maybe possibly.
Was there any more that they didn't show?
Or did people have no idea?
How onto you were they really, do you think?
At the end of it all, I spoke to them and none of them had any idea except Terrence.
Yeah.
Terrence was, Terrence, I love impersonating him.
Terrence was just like, oh, mate, I had no idea. You're great. Terrence was, Terrence, I love impersonating him. Terrence was just like,
oh mate,
I had no idea.
You're great.
You're brilliant, man.
I had my suspicions
at the beginning, man.
But yeah,
nah, nah, nah, nah.
You're just all good.
So,
no,
Terrence was the only one
who came close
but no one confronted me
with it on the show, no.
Yeah, right.
Right, okay.
What a cool experience.
It was a very cool experience. I would, I never thought, you know, when I got asked to be on the show no yeah right okay what a cool experience it was a very cool experience i would uh i never thought you know when i got asked to be on the show it was at 12
o'clock one day and my morning i got up in the morning thought it was going to be a normal morning
and by the end of the day i was on the show and it was that quick wow and i'd never thought as a
40 year old not 37 sorry for lying to the country about that. As a 40 year old, I'm like, what the
frack am I doing here?
It was fun.
Good on you. Daryl the Mole from The Bachelorette,
we've enjoyed watching you.
Thank you. R.I.P.
R.I.P.
R.I.P.
All thanks to Save My Bacon, a brighter way to borrow.
It's $51,000 now, Soundkeeper Gary.
You've given us a generous jackpot.
I have, and $50,000 is the most money we've given away,
so now it's a record.
And I want to find out whether or not this is the most money
ZM's ever given away.
Did we not have a 60? No, we didn't. I thought we had a 60,000. No, it was a or not this is the most money ZM's ever given away. I need to go back through the molds. Did we not have a 60?
No, we didn't.
I thought we had a 60,000.
No, it was a 50,000 was the most.
That's it.
This is the highest anyone's ever won if they do win it.
And, you know, it's a $100,000 secret sound, so it could go higher.
It can only go up from here.
Are you going to say this every time?
I mean...
Every time there's a jackpot.
This will be the most we've ever given away.
Record, record, record
That's right
But we've all had a four day brainstorm
So it's time to really, you know, dig in here
Yeah
And see if we can give away 51
Which is a new record
Alright, well, playing for the $51,000 this morning is Emma
Good morning
Hi
Alright
Have you tested this sound at home?
I haven't tested it, but I've YouTubed it,
and hopefully it's what I think it is.
Okay.
All right.
So let's have a listen for the secret sound.
Maybe if you haven't heard it.
Well, maybe you have,
and that's just giving you some kind of PTSD.
PTSD.
All right. $51,000, Emma, is all yours.
It's a life-changing amount of money.
It's my, I don't know if you've heard Soundgiver Gary,
it's the most we would have ever given away.
For $51,000, what is that secret sound, Emma?
So is it tapping an ice cube tray on the table
and then turning it and cracking it?
Oh, my God.
It does sound like that.
Soundkeeper Gary, correct me if I'm wrong,
but was that not a previous secret sound?
Hey, Emma, are you new to secret sound?
No, I'm not new to Secret Sound.
I've listened to all the other ones.
Oh, wow.
Maybe you went for the same thing.
No, true.
Yes, that's true.
We're not going to give away the most money we've ever given away
and do the same thing.
Take people off the scent because they're like,
oh, it can't be that because they've done it before.
Emma.
Yes?
If you
played Secret Sound last year, you
would have won $51,000
because it was last year's
Secret Sound. But it's
not this year's Secret Sound, Gary.
It is not this year's Secret Sound. But it's not this year's Secret Sound, Gary. It is not this year's Secret Sound.
I'm sorry.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
We are joined on the phone right now by the best bit of,
have you been paying attention?
Ursula Carlson, good morning.
Hi, I love what your loyalty's like.
Well, to be honest, Vaughan's away today.
And that I'm a bitch.
Yeah.
The best part. You know, Vaughan's away today. And then I was a bit. Yeah. The best part, you know, Vaughn's away,
so I'm a bit salty with him today.
I mean, he's obviously faking it.
Yeah.
Obviously.
Also, he'll make a miraculous recovery
for having been paying attention.
That's what I said.
He's all commitment to his TV show,
but where is he today?
Yeah, and I mean, for TV,
it's not like you need to look at best or anything, you know.
They're all
dripping snot on the desk.
And giving it to you?
Yeah, no, thank you. Has he been
out of the country or no? No.
No, I don't think there's any fears
there. You'll be right. Okay, just double
checking. Okay, I mean, you could always quarantine
him tomorrow anyway, just put his podium right
at the back, maybe. Yep. I mean, you could always quarantine him tomorrow. Anyway, just put his podium right at the back, maybe.
Yep.
Yeah.
To the side.
So, hot off the printer this morning, I'm reading this.
You have three shows coming up, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in July.
Yes.
And it's not a national tour.
I have to say that because as soon as I go, I'm on tour, then people go, good to see the whole of South Islanders in Christchurch.
Yeah.
I love that, don't they?
Yeah, yeah.
What about Oamaru?
I was there last year.
Yeah, what about her?
Okay, so tell us about the show.
The show's called All The Rage.
And I decided to write this show because I think as a people we're getting
angrier and angrier
and I think of crack war
but I also think we as a people are trying
to fix our rage
you know we're doing Pilates
we're doing yoga, we're doing meditation
we're so limber and angry
and I was like
why are we trying to fix it?
We need a certain level of rage in society.
Otherwise, we don't work.
You need that level of fear
of someone that could pop off at any point.
Otherwise, we don't move as a society.
If no one gets angry,
then we'll all just be stuck
at an intersection somewhere.
Do you think it has become a bit of a sport to be outraged at, you know, the littlest things?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
And we try and outdo each other.
You know, like sometimes you think you're all right and you say something
and then someone will get offended and you go, that is outrageous.
I respect dust.
I've always had dust in my life
and you're just here
destroying all the dust
you know
It's been a big year
for you though, there is another
Netflix special coming
Yeah, in May, so
watch out, although I see all those
Americans getting their Netflix specials
and they have to pull and it's beautiful
and, you know, getting on their private plane.
The difference between a New Zealander getting a Netflix special
and an American is like,
this year I bought a 12-foot above-ground pool for my kids.
Yeah.
That was good.
Above ground.
Wow.
Yeah, right.
The one that's blue on.
Imagine if you're in America,
that probably could have been level with the ground.
Yeah, well, I mean, I'm not dreaming too big at this point.
I am in my mid-40s.
Do you get one of those big fancy intros
that the comedians get in America
when they do a Netflix special?
No, mine just says,
please welcome to stage Ursula Carlson.
I said, don't build it up too much, you know?
I don't want the audience,
because it's a global audience, it's going
global in May, and I don't want the global
audience to think, this should be good.
Maybe we've done The Bachelor
or something. Yeah, it's all about
managing expectations.
I want people to finish watching it and go,
well, I didn't
throw up. It was alright.
I hate it.
Yeah.
What just happened? One of those
that you just zonk out and you go,
how did that end? Was it alright?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you one of those comedians that's like
no phones at the show,
no recording and stuff?
No.
You don't care?
I don't care.
I usually say to people, you know, like don't record it.
Try and live in the moment.
But I think people are so focused on my accent anyway,
they don't have time to get their phones up.
They're like, what the hell is she saying?
Where is she saying? Where is she from?
Well, Ursula is going, oh, it's not completely all around the country.
No, don't say that.
Don't say nationwide tour.
No, no, no.
Three locations, three locations.
And no particular order.
None of them were my favourite.
It's obviously Auckland.
We're better than everywhere else.
It's called All The Rage.
And our tickets for the show go on sale this Wednesday at 2pm.
Yeah, Live Nation pre-sale starts on Tuesday tomorrow.
All the details are at livenation.co.nz,
and we've actually got a double pass to go away right now.
If you call a 10, we'll give you that double pass to either you can choose Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch.
Ursula Carlson, thank you so much.
Thanks for having me, and enjoy the day with our born.
It's been lovely so far, to be honest.
It has, actually.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
The Diamond Princess is the cruise ship that is quarantined outside of Japan.
Isn't there three around the world at the moment?
Yes, and some Kiwis are on one of them.
Yes, that one, I think, is it the Diamond Princess?
Yeah.
So there's 3,700 passengers on this ship,
and they're quarantined.
They just have to hang out on the ship and not talk to each other.
Question, does the buffet still run?
I don't know.
Because I've heard that some of them have to ration food.
Surely it doesn't, because, well, they're all going to go down there in ships
and then touch the food. Well, yeah, because you've got to're all going to go down there in ships and then
touch the food. Well, yeah, because you've got to stay in your room.
Do they bring your food to the room? They must be
doing room
service, which, for 3,700
passengers.
That's crazy. Or they're just doing little lunch bags.
It would become a prison. It goes from a floating
paradise city to a prison.
To a prison. Well, an Australian
couple obviously were feeling cabin fever.
And they decided to get a couple of cases of wine delivered.
But obviously they're on a ship.
They got it delivered by drone.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
A couple of cases.
I've heard some places do. But it's in, whereabouts is this ship?
Quarantined.
And it's off the coast of Japan.
Right.
Oh, okay.
So they've got drone deliveries.
Yeah.
Amazing.
How do you lift a bottle of wine or a case of wine in a drone?
Must be a full-on drone.
They got in touch with a wine club.
Yeah.
Or they offered to deliver them some alcohol by drone. Must be a full-on drone. They got in touch with a wine club or they offered
to deliver them
some alcohol
by drone.
Right.
But two cases,
that's 12 bottles, right?
Yeah.
That's heavy.
That's how I'd want
to go out.
A couple of cases
of wine
quarantined on a ship.
There are a couple
of boomers
and they're holding that.
Whereabouts are they from?
Australia.
Oh, brilliant.
Yeah. It was going to be New Zealand or Australia they from? Australia. Oh, brilliant. Yeah.
It was going to be New Zealand or Australia.
That was my pick.
Or British.
Yeah.
Or the British.
British Boomers, Australian Boomers, or Kiwi Boomers.
Yeah.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Minus Vaughan today who's sick,
and so that means we have to do the Fact of the Day jingle, Megan.
As a duet.
As a duet.
I mean, unless intern Anya, do you feel like doing Fact of the Day jingle, Megan. As a duet. As a duet. I mean, unless intern Anya,
do you feel like doing Fact of the Day jingle?
Would you do some backup?
Yeah, treat Anya today.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no, I didn't think you were going to say yes.
Is it out already?
No, we've got to do it because I feel too exposed
when it's just two of us.
Nope, you can't have me now.
Yep, joke's on you.
Okay, fine.
Bon voyage.
All right, it's time for...
Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do. Probably could have used you there,
Don't screw your nose up.
Yeah, look, it lacked a little bit of something.
Yeah, maybe on the way out you'll do better.
It lacked that high nasally.
Yeah, I was going to say,
it wasn't the bass that it lacked.
Yeah, because I do the bass, don't I?
With my deep voice.
Sure you do.
Yeah.
Well, with Vaughn being out today,
I've got a fact of the day for you.
We're pretty strong.
We're pretty powerful beings.
But pound for pound, scientists have discovered what the strongest organism?
Organism?
Yeah.
Yeah, because it's not orgasm.
I don't know.
Am I saying the right one?
I don't know the fact of the day.
The strongest organism on earth.
It is... What?
Yep.
No, it's not us.
No, it's not humans.
Oh, no.
Oh, you were so close.
Ants.
No, but they must be pretty strong.
Yeah, because they do like big bits of food and they're like real little.
Yeah, like way bigger than them.
And there's Ant-Man as well.
So I mean, I'm just...
Famously very strong.
Yes.
No, it's gonorrhea.
Okay.
So apparently the bacteria or whatever they are in gonorrhea can pull with a force equal to 100,000 times their body weight.
Oh, how much does a gonorrhea weigh?
I don't know.
Like, not a lot.
How much does... How do you spell gonorrhea way? I don't know. Like, not a lot. How much does,
how do you spell gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea.
Gon-o-r-r-r-ea.
Oh, now I've got all the
Google search autofill
was like, how much does it cost?
How do you get rid of it?
So that equates,
if we were going to do it as a human,
that would mean one human
could pull 10 million kilos.
Whoa. Yeah.
Okay, wow. That's real strong.
Is gonorrhea one of the ones you can get
rid of? Now IT are going to flag me
because it's all like...
Don't go to images.
Don't go to images.
We don't need to see that. That's a lot.
Okay. Yeah.
Is gonorrhea one
that you can get rid of? Yes. That's a lot. Okay. Yeah. Is that something, is it, is gonorrhea one that you can get rid of?
Yes. Yes.
It's herpes, you can't. That's for life, yes.
So they can pull 100,000 times
their body weight.
They bundle together, so like literally
like. Question though,
if you're going to the Tokyo Olympics
and you're doing like weightlifting,
is it worth getting gonorrhea?
No, I don't think it makes you stronger.
Are you sure?
I think the bacteria within you are strong and they fight you.
Yeah, but they'll help you lift the snatch and jerk or whatever it's called.
No, I don't think that's how it works.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm pretty sure they're fighting you and you're trying to like lift the weight.
Oh, yeah, okay.
So that's why it probably hits you for sex.
Yeah.
Because you're just like, okay, yeah, right.
So today's fact of the day,
the strongest creatures on earth are gonorrhea bacteria.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Flesh, fauna, Megan, the podcast. ZM. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Totally get that because they say that dogs never let you down. Well, I hope Mr. Toyboy is not listening.
No, I mean, I like my husband, but I understand how other people would say that
because I always say to my dog, I'm like, oh, you're always so happy to see me.
Okay, so say, for example, they're rounding you up to take you to the coronavirus quarantine centre.
Yeah.
And you've got to pick one, Mr. Toyboy or Leo the dog.
No, I'd pick, I'd take Andrew.
I'd take my husband.
You'd leave the dog?
Don't say that.
I'd want to take Leo too.
Can animals catch it?
Not dogs.
I don't know.
It came from animals.
Yeah, it did, yeah.
No, if he's okay, I want to take him too.
But this is literally almost half of people in a relationship
see that they understand that dogs,
while they don't take you out for dinner and everything,
they treat you a lot better and they stop you from being lonely.
Unless you've got a shitbag dog that eats your couch and stuff.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah, most of the time they're low maintenance.
So think about that.
We're leading up to Valentine's Day.
Instead of like going all out with roses and like chocolates
or taking them out for dinner,
just wag your tail and hump their leg.
That's all they really want.
Flesh, fawn and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
This is the world that we live in now.
I'm going to sound like an absolute old mate boomer calling talk back.
But in Nevada, in America, parallel driving, parallel parking in the license test was too hard for a lot of people.
It was leading to a lot of retests and fails.
And so they have got rid of it.
You don't have to do it.
You do.
You no longer have to parallel park.
It's not a requirement on Nevada parking tests anymore.
Do you have to do it to pass in New Zealand?
Oh, I don't know.
I'm pretty sure you do.
I thought that you could fail the parallel parking part and still get your license.
You can fail a couple of things.
Right, yeah.
God, I don't know,
it's been so long
I can't even remember.
Because I don't think I did
parallel parking.
I remember doing it,
I remember doing a hill start.
Did you do it?
Yeah.
But you're in Nelson,
there's only like four hills.
Well, I,
hill loosely,
like a rise.
Yeah, right, okay.
But still,
enough to make your car
roll backwards,
that's terrifying.
Yeah.
But yeah,
apparently too many,
it was too hard,
too many retests so they just got rid of it.
Can you parallel park?
Absolutely.
Maybe on the second go.
No, I'm pretty good.
I'm actually pretty good.
Right.
But that's, do you ever have those times when you're with people
and you have to spend a good five minutes debating if your car will fit?
Yeah.
And then I love it when I'm like, definitely not going to fit in here.
And they're like, no, we can. And I'm like, okay. And then I love it when I'm like, definitely not going to fit in here. And they're like, no, we can.
And I'm like, okay.
And then we can't fit.
Or like when you're having to do it in front of, like you're parking outside like a cafe
and there's a van sitting outside.
Yeah, no.
Bags not.
Oh, pressure.
You know the trick though, eh?
You line the back of your car up with the back of their car up.
Yep.
And then swing the wheel all the way.
And then boom, you're in.
I'm a pro.
You're a pro.
Well, you've parked an 18-wheeler truck. Yeah. Parallel Park. Famously on the show. Yeah car up. Yep. And then swing the wheel all the way. And then boom, you're in. I'm a pro. You're a pro. Well, you've parked an 18-wheeler truck.
Yeah.
Parallel Park.
Famously on the show.
Yeah.
Many years ago.
In heels.
Thank you.
In heels.
I'm glad you remember.
I remember that detail because we wanted to make it hard for you and you still did it.
