ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Oh, minus Megan who's suddenly sick today. But we welcome back Vaughan. We've got a rotating loss. Does this mean I get a day off tomorrow? You get tomorrow off. Is that how it works, Anya?

I should get a day off because I've been here the other two days? I think you'll find in every other office ever, that's not how it goes. Right, okay. Yeah. For the record, I still have taken the least amount of sick days on the show ever. To be fair though, to be fair. I don't know. If we go historically, he took about three weeks off for measles once.

No, that was adult chicken pox. Oh, it's adult chicken pox. Otherwise, I never have a day off. But you never have any stress, do you? I mean, Megan's got the cafe, Vaughan's got the kids. She's got you there. Well, yeah, but I choose not to have a cafe and kids, so I'm just choosing a stress-free life.

That's true. I don't know. Lucky for some. Lucky for some. My children aren't stressful. They just bring home an array of bacteria and then rub it all over the surfaces and then I lick

the surfaces and that's why you get sick. That's alright. You won't hear me complaining because I'm not here when I'm doing my complaining. Yeah. The top six coming up, Vaughan. Someone made a nuclear reactor for a science fair. A little OTT, if you ask me.

What happened to tossing a coin a hundred times and seeing which one came up more? Is that what you did? No. No. That was a legendary science fair at our school. It was an easy one, wasn't it? Very easy. And I think they got okay marks.

Right. You can actually buy this nuclear reactor on Trade Me. Yes, you can. Huh. The top six things to do with your tabletop-sized nuclear reactor. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Billie Eilish on ZM performed, what was it, yesterday at the Oscars yesterday, and then they missed off, who'd they miss off? Luke Perry. Because they put up all the people that had died in the memoriam. Is that what she sung to? Yeah, and then they flashed up. What song did she sing?

Yesterday. What song did she sing? What do you mean? No, it was yesterday, the song. That was when it happened. Yesterday. Oh, the Beatles song. Yeah, that song. I thought you were telling me it happened yesterday. Of course it happened yesterday. Right.

But they missed out Luke Perry. And who was that other guy, the Disney, he died as well, I don't know. Walt Disney. No. I don't know. No, someone in a Disney show. I don't know. Yesterday.

The guy that was the dad in Home Alone. No. It was like a young guy. The kid off Everyone in Home Alone. No. It was like a young guy. The kid off Everyone Loves Roman. No, I don't know. Anyway, they missed out. What did he die of? I don't know, Vaughn.

Do you have his post-mortem results? I don't know. Can you send them to me in a PDF? I'll send them to you in a PDF. No, send them to me in a doc. Right. Because I can't edit a PDF because I refuse to play for Adobe. Right.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Because I had Adobe, and then they went to a cloud-based service. Oh, so is Photoshop and all of that. Yeah, that's the Adobe suite. Why isn't it all a cloud-based service now? It's very hard to pirate. I had the pirated version.

I know you did. And now I can't use it. Which is why they've gone to a cloud. It's unbelievable. All right, story time. Three news headlines is why they've gone to a cloud. It's unbelievable. All right, sorry time. Three news headlines. Still really want to know who this Disney guy was. Oh, for crying out loud.

Oh, no, you, you. Who was missed in the In Memoriam Oscars 2020? Luke Perry. Someone Boyce? Cameron Boyce? Yeah, that's him. Cameron Boyce. He was a young guy.

He died of a heart condition, an undiagnosed heart condition, right? Correct, yes. Right, there we go. You're happy now? Yeah. Someone called Haig and Conway were also missed, apparently. Oh, right, okay. Yeah.

Wow. Head, right. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Headline one. Like yesterday, Megan got free reign. You get to choose today with no Megan here. Headline one. Husband joins wife in jail. Headline two. Woman sends selfie and finds out she isn't alone.

And headline three. Australia's biggest potato is for sale. Scott Morrison. Political dig. He's a potato. Two, send selfie and realise that she's not alone. Okay, you want that one? Sounds spooky.

All right, okay. Is that Parasite yet? No. That won Best Picture yesterday at the Oscars. So that tells me it's going to be a horror with a good ending. Because, you know, that's always the weak parts of horrors is they always have a stink old ending. Yeah. Must have a good ending.

Well, a girl called Olivia is in the news because she was hungover and sent a selfie to some friends in her hoodie. Just said, hey, I'm a hungover POS. Yeah. You know, how are you? That kind of thing. And that's when friends let her know that she wasn't alone. Because in her selfie, in her hood, was a giant spider, like literally right by her head.

Oh. So she's got her hoodie on, like the hood over her head. Yeah, and the spider's just in there. And she hasn't seen that. No. So friends screenshot it and circled around the spider and said, Han.

Han. Don't want to alarm you. But then, by the time you got that back, that spider totally would have moved. It would be further into the hoodie. What would you... That's a bit yuck. The other day, my dad said, I think a leaf has fallen into the back of my high-vis shirt.

Oh, yeah. He said, can you check if that's a leaf? And he pulled his thing back. It was the biggest praying mantis I've ever seen. And it had that real fat bum. You know how, I think it's a pregnant praying mantis. Oh, right. Is he the pregnant praying mantis on him?

Yeah, in the collar. Did he not feel it move? That's what he thought it was, the leaf. It must have just, he said it must have recently got into the space. And did he, was he like, ah? Nah. Nah. I just got it out. Okay. Don't be scared of a praying mantis. Nah. You're fine, was he like, ah? Nah. Nah. I just got it out. Okay.

They're not to be, don't be scared of a praying mantis. Nah. They're fine, aren't they? They're fine. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Experts have said how much sex you should be having to remain happy. Okay. And

it differs on your situation. Living together, married, how old you are. It all depends. Okay. And apparently, at least once a week is the baseline. Okay. Yeah. But if you've just washed the sheets, you don't know.

Like if Wednesday night's your night, you know, that's coincided with the fresh sheets. Yeah, you know. Put it off till next week. You missed yesterday, but executive intern Anya said she washes her sheets every two weeks, not every week. Yeah, that depends what's been happening. I mean, it's disgusting. As I pointed out yesterday,

nobody else's sheets see as much actions as carpet of Fletchers. Yes. And you've got to... You can't be washing the... You can't be over-washing the Sheridans. They might be a higher thread count, but that's... Well, you can wash... The Sheridans can handle multiple washes.

Well, what are you washing them with? That's when you buy a quality linen. Yeah. Well, what do you mean, what are you washing them with? And then how do you dry them Just on the clothes horses How do you have a clothes horse Big enough to accommodate

A king bed sheet You just have to kind of Tuck it in and then That is No it's not going to dry No it dries It dries 100% fine The Sheridans can handle

Like multiple washes It's a quality linen From the outset That's your thing Buy a quality linen I couldn't agree more It's important to invest's a quality linen from the outset. That's your thing. Buy a quality linen. I couldn't agree more. It's important to invest in a quality linen. But I'm with you on,

you put the new sheets on, you don't want to mess the new sheets up. Especially if you have to go to the effort of origami-ing it. Yeah. To dry. To dry properly. It's just apartment living.

You just get used to it. Right. But then in this study, where experts have weighed in, they said in their studies they were finding some people do it 14 times a week. Discuss. Discuss. 14 times. I mean, that's twice a day.

That's how often I shower. Yeah, right. Okay. Twice a day. And sometimes I'll skip one. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of time. I mean, if I didn't have a job, sure.

By the eighth time that week, it would be a lot of time. Yeah. Like. It would be, hope the sheets were being washed at the weekends. Wow. Every weekend. What would you do for sheets? Well, you'd have to wait until you put them back on.

I wouldn't even think you'd run with a cotton sheet, would you? You'd just have a tarp. Flick the tarp out and then fold it up and get it there. One of those painting canvas

kind of mats that you lay down that you get from Bunnings. One of those. Yes, yes, yes. Or just a completely disposable paper situation. But yeah, it changes

throughout your lifetime at different ages and there's a spike completely disposable paper situation. But yeah, it changes throughout your lifetime at different ages. And there's a spike again in later life. Okay. Well, yeah, I don't know. Oh, that's the rest time. That's when you, again, you've got less time. Yeah. Or more time, rather.

I watched a short clip. It was a promotion of a show about rest time living. And some new guy moved into this rest time and pretty much had sex with every woman in there. But he himself brought chlamydia in. Right. From his antics. What were you watching?

It was this show about an American rest time. What, like a reality show? Well, kind of like, you know, like a reality show set in a hospital in an ER or the birthing unit ones like that, but in this rest time with a hospital care situation. Yeah, right. He dragged it in, but he said, they

asked him about safe sex practices and he said, well, I'm not going to get any of them pregnant. And he had STDs and stuff were a foreign concept to him. Yeah, right. Because he got married in like the 60s. Yeah, right. And didn't have to even worry about it. Didn't have to worry about it again.

And then his wife died and then I don't know where he picked up the clamp from. And then he dragged her to this rest home. And they were all very angry with him. They didn't care that he was sleeping with everybody, but the fact that he dragged her through the front door. From the ZM think tank,

this is the top six. Hello there. A nuclear reactor that was built for a science fair. This is a working nuclear fusion reactor. Comes with deuterium.

As apparently somebody's science fair. From Blenheim. Buy now $4,000. Starting price $3,000. How old was the person that made this? Like actual school science fair from Bledham. By now $4,000, starting price $3,000. How old was the person that made this? Like actual school science fair? Yeah, yep.

What? He's a former Marlborough Boys college student, Samuel Lee. Okay. A little bit about Samuel. One of his other passions is playing the violin. Okay. He's been in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, National Youth Orchestra. And a bit of a science buff as well.

Sounds bright. Yeah. Now, question. Did mum or dad help with the science fair? I think it's fair to say somebody had an input. I mean, just the cost of all the bits and pieces alone. Like, at least funded by mum and dad. You would imagine mum and dad are funding his terrorist organisation.

That's what it sounds like. The bank of mum and dad. Yeah, right. Well, it was like Osama bin Laden. Yeah. He was from a very wealthy family. He's not a terrorist born. Looks like one.

Looks like he's got the fuzzy hair and the glint in his eye of someone who's, like he's got the Albert Einstein hair. Right, okay. He's got a little something going on there. Bond villain in the making. A Bond villain. The top six things to do with the nuclear reactor science fair are, number six, power a small town.

Okay. One that we don't mind being a smouldering wasteland if it all goes badly. Okay, yeah. Because we'll have to write off a lot of the land around it, won't we? Taihape? Happy with the... Taihape putting the hand up? That's very beautiful, that.

Okay, then, where do you want to turn into a smouldering wasteland? Chatham Islands. Rolleston's too close to Christchurch. Yeah, Chatham Islands. Chatham Islands. Yeah, because if it all goes bad, it's out. Too windy, it will blow all of the stuff here. Not if the wind's blowing the other way.

I think it only blows one way. It does it. This way, whatever way the trees are leaning. Right. Let us look at which way the tree leans, and then we'll do the rest. Number five on the list of the top six things to do with the nuclear reactor science fair. Just change the font and say it was your science fair and enter it. Brilliant idea.

As your own science fair. I don't know if that's allowed, is it? Why'd they ask you how you did it? It's all written up there. You tell them to read. Yeah, right. I've done all the work. I've shown my working.

Just read that. Well, you could probably ask this guy you're buying it from to give you the Word document, any kind of science fair kind of thing that he wrote and then just change it on a USB he'd probably do that

yeah probably do that I'd say that for that amount of money yeah number four on the list of the top six things to do with a nuclear reactor that was a science fair

use it to cook popcorn a little bit quicker than your conventional microwave like in a second that'll get it done and leave no pesky kernels at the bottom that are very hard on the teeth.

Number three on the list of the top six things to do with a nuclear reactor, science fair, melt crowns on it, like at school, on the old incinerator. Yeah. Or the radiator. Yeah. We had a, I went to a small rural school.

We used to burn all our rubbish. At the end of the day, one of the... I don't think you can do that now. I went to a small rural school. We used to burn all our rubbish. At the end of the day, one of the... I don't think you can do that now. One of the jobs was incinerator. Right. Someone had to mop the... Weird thinking back on it, we never had a cleaner at school. It was just all the students to the jobs at the end of the day.

School finished at 10 to 3 and you had 10 minutes to do your jobs. Quite smart from then. Somebody swept. Somebody would mop on occasion. Yep. And somebody would take all the rubbish over to the incinerator and burn it. But you'd take a pocket full of crayons as well. And when you'd lit it on fire, you'd hold the crayons on the side and melt the crayons

down the side of the... And then you went to World War II. No. Post-World War II. Thank you very much. Number two on the list Of the top six things To do with a science fair That's a nuclear reactor

Buy it and put it in the garage I'm pretty sure You'll find a use for that one day That seems like a That seems like a price Too good to say no to Yeah And number one on the list

Of the top six things To do with a nuclear reactor Science fair Become the world's next Great villain Yeah Every great villain Needs a nuclear reactor at their disposal.

Don't they? That is today's top six. The Diamond Princess, that's definitely a cruise ship. You only need to hear those words. Yeah. Tell your name a cruise ship. Odyssey of something. Odyssey of the ocean.

Yes. Ocean Odyssey. Neptune's Divine Carrier. Princess. Did we say something princess? You could say princess princess Odessa of the seas. The seas. Yep.

Chuck a princess. Yep. Ocean princess. That's definitely one. Yeah, that's definitely one. Blue princess. Chuck anything blue with a royal title. Yep. Emerald, Duke Emerald. Yes.

Duke Emerald of the liquids would be a good one. I think you name a cruise ship. Yes. Turquoise, turquoise floater. Yes. Maybe a little bit of Greek mythology I can imagine this is the exact conversation that happens at P&O Or Royal Caribbean when they're trying to name a cruise ship

Yes Aquatic Poseidon Yes Prince, Duke, Arch, Nemesis, Poseidon They love an Elizabeth A Kiwi Well, that's your royal That's in place of the princess of the sea.

You would say Elizabeth of the ocean. Anything of the seas, really. Yeah. H2, H2O, King H2O of the seas. Atlantia. Yeah. Sure. God, what fun that would be.

Naming cruise ships. All right, guys. P&O AGM. Got three new cruise ships in the water this season. Start chucking some words on the table. We're going to draw three randomly out of a hat. That's what we're going to call our new cruise ship. I love it.

But Diamond Princess is the cruise ship that currently is in quarantine due to coronavirus. So this is on Japan? Just off the coast of Japan. Yep, yep. 66 confirmed cases of coronavirus and people locked in their cabins. Yeah. Now, is this the one where Megan and I talked yesterday,

the Australian couple from the Goldie droned in some wine, some cases of wine. their cabins yeah now is this the one where uh megan and i talked yesterday the australian couple from the goldie droned in some wine some cases of wine i think this was the same cruise ship what a drone can carry cases of wine but apparently i don't know but they have these kind of drones in japan because how'd they do it well i think they just got it droned onto the ship i hope they didn't cough on the drone. That would have carried the... Well, yeah, because we learned yesterday that coronavirus is airborne. Yes. So we're all screwed.

Yeah. We're not just on surfaces and in close proximity to people. Yeah. So they're trapped in the cabins. Numbers of the coronavirus are escalating as well on there, and there doesn't look to be any end in sight. So it's basically become a prison. Yeah.

Really, hasn't it? Small groups, you're allowed, yeah, it is like prison because you're allowed out onto the deck in small groups for like an hour and a half a day to stretch the legs. Right. But as you say, like, how long can they remain out there? Yeah. Because cruise ships, obviously, if you rationed the food on there,

you could live for a thousand years because it's a gluttonous. It's a gluttonous, never-ending hole of schmorgie boards. But, yeah, how long can they make it last? I wonder what the plan is. I guess just wait it out and then everyone gets either sick or just over it. And then they can go. But what if somebody on there dies with the coronavirus? Dies of the coronavirus?

Are they being... I don't know. What do they do with the board? Put it in the casino or something. I don't know. That's the warmest part of the ship. I don't know. Put it in the freezer.

Take it somewhere. Yeah. I don't know. It's crazy. It would actually be a horrible situation to be in. Oh, really, truly awful. Especially because you're on this cruise of a lifetime. You're on holiday and all of a sudden you're in a prison.

And you can see, if you were on the right side of the ship, which way, if you're staying on the port or starboard. I don't know. I don't know. I don't go on boats enough. No, I just always say left and right. Yeah, me too. I figure I'm not on the Navy or ever going to drive a boat.

You've already got a boat. You're posh enough. You don't need to have different directions to everybody, okay? Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. There's a water shortage in Auckland. If you're on tank water, you'll definitely know this by now. Living

semi-rurally, the local Facebook page has been lit up with people saying, I'm out of water. Where can I get water? And finding out that there's like a three to four week wait list. For like tankers to come. Yeah, yeah.

For water tankers to come and drop off water. But also that the areas where they get the water from, the potable, potable, potable water. Is that what it says? Potable. Potable. What Is that what it says? Potable. Potable. What does that mean? You know when you go to like a,

you go to a dockyard and it says this water is potable. Potable. You know, potable. No, I've got no idea. You know what it says? It says this water is potable. It says portable. No, it doesn't say portable.

It says potable. Potable water. Well, you've got to boil it. Potable water. All right. Prepare to learn. Drinking water is also known as potable water. It's water that is safe to drink or to use for food preparation.

Potable water. I don't know why it's called potable. That's stupid. I've never heard that in my life. It's written everywhere. How do you go to the Department of Conservation Arts and not see it? This water is potable, but we recommend boiling before usage. Oh, because maybe I've just always

thought it said portable. I don't know. Holy moly, you've never noticed. Wow, I learned something today. Amazing. So for some reason that means safe to drink. So there's outlets where you can get potable water. Right. And it's where a water tanker might tap into a local mains

situation, fill up their tank, and then they can go put it in. But apparently even those are under stress. Yeah. And Aucklanders on a whole are being urged to take shorter showers. However, some areas are more affected than others. Right. I'm a short shower anyway.

I don't dilly-dally in the shower. You are a short shower. I'm a short shower. I'm in and out. Yeah. Emergency filling stations have been set up in parts of Auckland at some businesses such as Mitre 10 Mega in Albany. I saw them.

And Whangaparoa. And they've offered water to some residents who obviously have run out with their tanks. And a water tank driver has said this is the worst he's seen 20 years in the trade. Of shortage of water. Of shortages. Yeah.

That's crazy, isn't it? Well, we're on tank water last summer, but it was such a wet December. Yeah. They were never low. But then we've got one of those holes in the ground. You've got free water. I've got a bore. You've got free water.

210 metres down that hole, guys. I wouldn't tell people this. Because when the apocalypse happens, or the water shortage happens, they're just going to drive a tanker through your gate and fill up. No, they won't. Why won't they? Because guns, I guess.

If I know anything about a post-apocalyptic world, you're a doomsday prepper. Everybody's got a gun. Yeah, right. But yeah, so I don't want to rub it in anybody's faces, but I've been running a hot sprinkler program on my lawn and that thing is green. Certainly rubbing it in people's faces.

That is green. You should be offering to fill up some people's tankers. I offered it to some of the neighbours. The neighbours? Oh, you did? Okay. They were alright though. Okay, they're good.

They're doing well next door. Norma. Yeah. She's, they've got two tanks but they checked it the other day. Dave checked it. Yep.

And they've got about half left in each. Old Norma. I said, how do you do it? But then of course I've underestimated the boomers. They can live on next to nothing. They can, yeah.

They probably do short showers anyway. Well, they've said they're not using the dishwasher. They said a lot of water goes down the drain using a dishwasher. They can, yeah. They probably do short showers anyway. Well, they've said they're not using the dishwasher. They say a lot of water goes down the drain using a dishwasher. Oh, I'm not going to do a hand washer and a quarter full sink. I'm still using the dishwasher. Oh, do your part. I do with short showers.

Oh, short showers, but you do the dishwasher. But I'll still do the dishwasher. And no averages out. Soundkeeper Gary's in. Good morning. Morning, guys. A bit nervous being in here. I don't want to get sick.

We don't need you getting sick because there'll be no secret sound. That's the thing. Do we postpone secret sound if I get sick? Or do I just have to... No, we'll put a broadcast unit in your house and quarantine you if need be. The secret sound must continue. We could have a live stream of you and you could just nod or shake your head. Yeah, like a gladiator.

The guy who won Best Actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thumbs up or thumbs down. Yeah. So it is the $100,000 secret sound with Save My Bacon. A brighter way to borrow. Current jackpot, $51,000. We had a jackpot yesterday in your absence, Vaughn.

Did you? Just to bring you up to speed. Thank you. And having a shot this morning is Tara. Good morning Tara. Good morning. How's it going? Good, good. Alright, $51,000 is on the line. This is the secret sound.

What is it? Okay, I am thinking What is it? For $51? Okay, I am thinking it is one of those sport drink bottles that you need to squeeze to release the contents. But picture this. It's sitting on the bench. It's had water in it. And you give it a pump.

It disperse some air. And then you release it and it sucks the air back in. Yeah, do you know I've had that? I had, because I had my gym drink bottle, the exact one you're talking about, in my bedroom one night because I was thirsty. Yeah. And I had a drink, and it was like real late at night,

and I put it down, and it made this wheezing sound like a ghost, and I was like... It was slowly sucking the air back in. Yeah, because it sucks the air back in, and it was like... That's right. You're talking about like a cycling drink bottle. They always pull it out and they little carry it

down there and they... Well, Gary does e-bike. I do, but not strenuous enough to have a drink. It's never strenuous on an e-bike. Why do you always wear bike pants then, Gary?

That's what I want to know. With a banana tucked in the back of your bike shirt. Yeah, that's a chafing issue. With a banana tucked in the back of your bike shirt. Yeah. A little gel pack. Ready to go, baby. It's not a bad guess.

Tara. Well, that all depends if she gets it right or not. It's not a bad guess. Tara, that is not the secret sound. Oh. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Valentine's Day has come out. Yeah, on Friday. 12th is Timber Wednesday.

And then 13th. It's Friday. Yeah, you're right. Like, just why didn't you believe me? I'm terrible at A, trusting you, because you just couldn't say seven. And B, I'm terrible at working out how many days. Yeah, same.

I have to go in my head on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I have to match it up on my fingers. I know, same. Yeah. Tuesday, 11. Wednesday, 12. They go through like that. Yeah.

But anyway, so you're likely to say heaps of stuff about love. Yeah. It's a real time. They'll crank out the old classics. Oh, the media. The media love it, don't they? Scumbags. The scumbag media.

Scumbags. Scumbag media. I was reading an article on how not to gain weight as a couple. I mean, you might be into it. Sure. You might. But that's the thing. You get all happy and you do like desserts and stuff, don't you?

And delicious treats. There's been studies that show the longer you are together, the fewer fruit and vegetables you eat. Really? Yeah, you just eat more like takeaways and stuff. Well, that's the thing, you're like, what should we do for dinner tonight? Not this argument again. I know, the same discussion every day. Get takeaways.

Well, okay, before we start, let me tell you what happened at our house yesterday. Okay. Which, by the way, I'm contemplating trying today on Taco Tuesday. You've... What? You've got the taco holders, right?

Yeah. Perfect. Oh, great. That's what you need. Because Sade said to me, I'm going to try something. The kids wanted tacos. Yeah.

Kids love tacos. Kids wanted tacos for dinner. You were right with that. I'm like, yeah something The kids wanted tacos Yeah Kids love tacos Kids wanted tacos for dinner You were right with that I'm like yeah that's fine And she said I'm going to try something different For the shells Yeah Of the tacos

Okay Because we're a soft shell household Oh of course So am I I mean if Megan was here She'd be like Hard shell Well thank god she's not here

I've had enough of this Hard shell nonsense Yeah So Shade says Last time we had tacos God she's not here. I've had enough of this hard shell nonsense. Yeah. So Sade says, last time we had tacos, because she's doing a keto thing at the moment. Right. She made these keto wrappy things. Yeah.

And they were fine. They were quite yum, soft. And she baked them so they were like super fresh and stuff. They're like a tortilla, but they're a keto version. Okay. Or something. But it tasted fine, so I didn't mind. Yeah. And she said, I'm going to try a different way of doing it. Yeah.

And I was like, that's cool. I'm on my deathbed. Yeah. Yesterday, of course. Yesterday, I'm not feeling well, so I'm lying on the couch, and I could smell something, and I said, that smells like pure cheese. Yeah. And she said, it is pure cheese.

This is what she made the taco shells out of. Cheese. Grated cheese. Yeah. And she said, it is pure cheese. This is what she made the taco shells out of. Cheese. Grated cheese. Yeah. And you put it on baking paper. Yeah. Into the shape or the size of the tortilla. You like pack it in.

Just normal cheese. Normal grated cheese. Okay. You could probably buy it pre-grated. I mean, these. But bang for your buck, you're going to get more cheese if you buy the block and grate it yourself. Yeah. But also like these taco shells that you're making out of cheese are literally probably worth $20 each.

They're probably worth $20 each. No, no, no, no, no, no. There wasn't that much cheese. Okay, right. Because you don't want it thicker. You don't want it too thick. Right, okay. So on the baking paper, it melts.

And it melts. You've got to watch this thing like a hawk. Okay. Because you don't want it going too hard, too fast. And when it gets gooey and goozing, you take it out. And Sade had two of our taller drinking glasses upended with a thick rolling pin across the top. Oh, okay. And then she would lay them over that where they would then harden.

Oh, my God. And making a taco shell. But they wouldn't go hard like a crispy taco shell. They'd go chewy. Oh, yum. Now, was she grilling or baking the cheese? Good call. I don't know.

Let me ask the question now. Oh, she's online. She's just messaged me. I feel like it would be a grill because you'd need that crispy. Those cheese tacos, grilled or baked? Yeah, thank you. Or fan baked. Fan baked? Fan baked or baked? Yeah, thank you. Or fan baked. Fan baked?

Fan baked or baked? She's just Because I always do a fan baked because I'm like why would I do a normal bake when I could do a fan baked? Well, we've talked about this is because that's still there

for the likes of the Pavlova or the very good fan baked. Fan baked. She fan baked. She fan baked. That's what she said. So, okay

and what did you put in these tacos? Not mints. Mints. That's what the kids love Kids love mints Kids love mints Don't they The mints in their tacos Yuck

Here's the weird Here's the weird Okay When you put the mints in the Grated cheese taco shell Yeah does it melt No It wasn't super hot mints

But you could put lettuce or something down first You could put something else down. You could put like a guac down first. God, that's good. The grease dripped through. The mints, the grease. Because you know when you cook, the mints, there's always a bit of grease. The grease dripped through.

Yeah, right. It was weird. But they weren't crunchy. They were chewy. I was on board because it wasn't fully crunchy. So it didn't like crack and break and taco go everywhere. So how do you not gain weight as a couple? I would imagine not doing that would be a great first step.

Not eating straight-ass cheese, straight cheese, no carbs. Or was it carbs? I don't know. What's keto? No carbs? I don't know. What's the keto? I don't know. No carbs? Yeah. Or was it carbs? I don't know. What's keto? No carbs? I don't know. What's the keto? I don't know.

No flour? I don't know. No starch? Do you know what keto is? Do you know? What are you allowed? Because she was like, cheese is okay. I was like, this is the craziest diet I've ever heard of.

Yeah, it's like you're having an anti-pesto platter every night. It is sick. It's like olives. There's no fat. No, heaps of fat, no carbs. Right. Yeah. Is there no carbs in cheese?

I don't know. I hate a lot of it, and I don't lose any weight. I don't know if I'm doing it right. Right. Right, okay. Cook together, move together, share your stress, have a favourite night, sesame seeds are high in calcium, blah, blah, blah. That was the list.

Yeah, that was the list of how not to get fat in a relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Or just avoid a full cheese taco. I feel you're going to need to put up this how-to recipe for people as well, because I feel this is people are going to want to know this recipe. Somebody said I had cheese tacos last night as well.

Okay. These people are onto the cheese bars. Yeah. They burnt the taco. Oh, God. That's the thing. Like I said. You watch it like a hawk. Watch it like a hawk. See, I'm going to need to know the temperature setting too. Oh, I can find out.

See, I feel like I'm just going to end up having these tonight and I'm just going to be eating the taco filling and the cheese will be in the sink for the insincerator because I burnt it. Oh, because you burnt it. No, you've got to watch it. Yeah, that's a good point. Who you having over for taco Tuesday?

You could get distracted. Okay. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. Well, Netflix have announced that they are giving you the chance to change something that has been annoying me and

a lot of people for a long time. Do you know what I'm talking about? What would be the most annoying thing about Netflix? Apart from the fact that sometimes you scroll for 20 minutes and you can't find anything. Yeah, probably that. Apart from that. The autoplay.

The autoplay on Netflix. When it starts playing the next episode. Or when it just starts like, for example, I'll turn on my TV, put it on Netflix. I'll be like, oh, just go grab a drink or something. And then on the home screen, whatever the new thing is that they're trying to make you watch, it just starts playing. Or you go in to read.

It starts playing. Or the trailer for it starts playing. The trailer or. Why is that? That's not annoying. That's why. No, it's annoying. But then also, like, episodes will just start playing.

Like, if you go to read what a show's about, it'll just start playing. Oh, if you go to read what a show's about, it'll just start playing. Oh, if you go to read what a show's about, you get the little trailer, you get the little snubber. That can be annoying, but only because it gives me a fright. Yeah, right. I start reading about what this is going to be about, and then it, boom. Well, Netflix have, as of a couple of days ago,

given you the chance to turn autoplay off. How do you do it? Well, you've got to get, you've got to, because I looked last night, I read these stories, and I was like, well, this is great news. I'm going to turnlay off. How do you do it? Well, you've got to get, you've got to, because I looked last night, I read these stories and I was like, well, this is great news. I'm going to turn this off. Went into, on my Samsung, in settings and I couldn't find it.

So I was like, well, maybe they haven't brought it out yet. But I'm reading now. Wait, you went into the Samsung settings? No, in the settings on the Netflix app. I was going to say. Of course, I'm not. You really boom it that way. I'm not a boomer.

I've gone into settings. I can't find it. You've got to go into a web, you've got to do it from a web browser settings. And I never use Netflix on my laptop. So sign in and then you can turn off autoplay and then it won't just start playing things, which is so annoying.

I'm so happy about this new feature. I don't know why it always wound me up so much when Netflix just start playing things, which is so annoying. I'm so happy about this new feature. I don't know why it always wound me up so much when Netflix just started playing things. Right. I'm like, I'll tell you when to play Netflix. I've never had... You've never had a... I've never turned it on and walked away to do something.

I kind of do all my prep pre-sitting down. Right, okay. Once I'm down, I'm down. Yeah, right, because then I'll be like, maybe I'll just squeeze in a quick wheeze. Once I'm sat. Go to the. Yeah, right, because then I'll be like, I may be able to squeeze in a quick wheeze. Once I'm sat. Go to the bathroom, come back, and it started playing something. That's when I go wheeze is the minute the series goes to the credits.

Yep. Because I know that little things that come up at the bottom of the TV being like, play next episode. It's happening, it's happening in three, two, one. Yep. And then it starts the next one. That's my run time. Yeah, but then it starts playing.

Because they'll let you see the director, they'll let you see a couple of the main stars. And then they starts the next one. That's my run time. Because they'll let you see the director. They'll let you see a couple of the main stars. And then they're tapping out. Yeah, and then they're like, the rest of the people who put their life and soul into this production don't matter to us at all. It is literally impossible for you to see who the grip boy was. Yeah, I don't care.

I don't even know what a gaffer is, but I don't care who the location manager was. You don't need to know what the gaffer does, but it would be nice to know who the gaffer was. Yeah, I don't care what the gaffer is. But I don't care who the location manager was. You don't need to know what the gaffer does, but it would be nice to know who the gaffer was. Yeah, I don't care who was doing the catering on Mission Impossible 2. It doesn't matter. We don't need to see all that. No, you should have used the TV series

as an example. Well, I don't know. Because Mission Impossible 2 wouldn't automatically lead into Mission Impossible 3 playing. I believe that's a two separate movies that wouldn't carry on. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're watching Jurassic Park and it gets to the end, it doesn't be like, next episode, and go into Jurassic Park 2. It should. It should.

Well, not anymore because I've turned it off. You've turned it right off. It's not happening anymore. But it's that as well. What do you mean, that as well? You told me it was just the trailers that were stopped. No, autoplay, whatever autoplay is. Next episodes. Next That as well. You told me it was just the trailers that were stopped. No, autoplay. Whatever autoplay is. Next episodes.

Next episodes as well. Yeah. See, I like when it does next episodes. But people feel obligated to watch. Yeah. I mean, that's why they've done it. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, done. And you're like, it's one o'clock, but okay. I've got to find out if the team make Matt in Daytona.

It's a chair reference. Have you watched Chair yet? No, not yet. It's a chair reference. Have you watched Chair yet? Nah, not yet. It's all my loss. But have you finished Sex Education yet? Not yet. So good.

I'm making my way through. Very, very, very good. We asked the question if you've ever been in a workplace relationship. Yeah, if you've ever dated anybody from work. Yeah, and in a little

online polymoly. I would have thought this would have been a lot closer because you spend so much time with people at work. It's easy to develop a relationship, isn't it? Or to see why that'd be terrible

to be in a relationship with. But that also is true, yes. Yeah. But lots of people do. Yeah, so 64%, 66% of people said no way. That they haven't been in a relationship with people at work.

Yeah. Now, I mean, we did ask relationship. We didn't say hookup. True. I think if we just said, have you had sex with someone from work, this might be a lot higher. Yeah.

But 34% of people said yes. They have. They had one. But somebody messaged in when they heard us mention this just before and said most of their girlfriends have been from the workplace. It's the easiest place

when you work a lot of hours. Yeah. To meet people. Because Executive Intern Anya, you, your boyfriend works here, but you met before here,

didn't you? Yeah, we were flatmates. Ah, see, flatmates. Yeah. Ananya, your boyfriend works here, but you met before here, didn't you? Yeah, we were flatmates. Ah, see, flatmates. Yeah. And studying at the same time. That would be even less, I think, less people would have hooked up with flatmates than workplace because there's so many less people to choose from.

And it's so, like, I feel like... It's just a numbers game, baby. People get grumpier at you in a flatting sense I think rather than Like if you know You didn't put the rubbish out When it was your week or Didn't do the dishes

Sam's called up Sam you have dated someone from work Yeah good morning guys How did that go though So we've been together for four years now, and we're actually planning our wedding at the same place we met. What, work? You get married at work? Yeah, he was a chef and I was a waitress at a wedding venue.

Oh, wow. That's handy. Are they cutting you a good deal? Oh, I think so. Haven't quite broached that subject yet. Least they could do, you work there. They're not going to. It's a wedding, isn't it? If it's not being talked about yet,

they're not going to. So was it there a moment when you're like, maybe we shouldn't be doing this because we work together? No, not really. We'd worked together for like two years before we actually got together. So it was just kind of a natural progression, I guess. Right.

And over those two years, there was nothing that annoyed you greatly about him? No, not really. He always gave me the nice food that was left over. Oh, a doggy bag. Feed you the scraps. Yeah. That's what everybody wants in a man. Well, I wouldn't be saying...

You could be a scare isolate. Yeah, I wouldn't be saying no to some free food. Oh, yeah, over-catered. Yeah, exactly. They'd be like, oh, yeah, there's 66 people at this wedding. Hey, yeah, thanks, you call Sam Anonymous. You married someone from work? Yes, I did.

Wow, okay. And at the start, though, were you just like, maybe we shouldn't be doing this because it's a bit taboo? Not really. There's been seven other couples get married from my workplace, so we knew we weren't the only ones. What industry do you work in? Accounting.

Accounting? A sexy industry. I thought you said I can't say. But it sounded like accounting. No, she said accounting. Yeah, I know, but I thought initially you said I can't say. She said I can't say. But it sounded like accounting. No, she said accounting. Yeah, I know. But I thought initially you said I can't say. She said I can't say.

Then you, okay, yeah. Then I said accounting. Accounting, yeah, right. And then we said accounting seven times each. And cemented it as indeed the accounting industry. Is it a big accounting firm or are you like a little accounting firm? I'd say probably like about a medium-sized. Okay, who did the budget spreadsheet for the wedding?

Definitely the husband. Yes. Someone's doing it, eh, if you a medium flow. Okay. Who did the budget spreadsheet for the wedding? Definitely the husband. Yes. Someone's doing it, eh? If you're an accountant. Yeah. There'd be arguments about it, though. There'd be arguments about spreadsheets. I prefer to format my cell to three decimal places.

What does that even mean? You know, when you go to like format a cell in Excel, it's like how many decimal places do you want? Sexy stuff. Fleshforn and Megan, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Oh, a drama.

Mountie, who is at, I believe, this morning at the social media desk? Yeah, why not? One of the, we've got so many desks. We've got so many desks. We have a myriad of desks. Oh, a myriad. Good use of the word. A plethora. Oh.

Of desks. And today you find yourself sitting at the social media desk. You had an incident with your bus driver this morning. I did. It was very embarrassing. So this was a different bus driver. You usually have the same bus driver. I hope your ordinary bus driver's okay.

Yeah, me too. Or maybe they've got an upgraded route. Yeah, they get different routes all the time, don't they? Is there like a, I mean, this is just a question I can maybe look into later, but is there a hierarchy of bus drivers and you aim for a specific route? I don't know. I think you'd want a different one all the time to keep your job. Variety.

But then some people might like the routine. Consistency, yes. Yes, they know where to stop, when to stop. The traffic light phasing. Yeah. They. Yeah. The traffic light phasing. Yeah. They've worked out the traffic light phasing. Yeah. Anyway, you had a different bus driver this morning.

What happened? Okay, so basically my morning routine is that I will put on my headphones, I'll grab my coffee, and I'll walk to the bus. And when I get on the bus, I'll leave my headphones on, say good morning, and be on my way. Tap. Do you tap? I do.

I tap on. Yep. Because there's no need for a lot of interaction there. So tap. Morning. Go on. Yep. No problems.

However. Today was different. It changed my life. I fear that I have been being very rude by hopping on the bus and not removing my headphones while saying good morning. No, you can do both. Because they're over the ear ones. Yeah, right.

They're noise cancelling. Right. So he's just like, well, I can't talk to you anyway because you're not going to hear me. He just kind of rolled his eyes. Oh, passive aggressive. Very jolting. See, I think a tap and go,

the bus driver doesn't have time to chat to everybody getting on the bus. But you should. I always like to do a hello and a thank you driver. Yeah, me too. Thank you driver. I always do a thank you driver, but you don't need to take your headphones off.

No, you don't need to do that. What about this? People at home, I'm now with one finger just pushing a headphone just back off my ear a little bit. That would then open up the lines of communication if they wanted to. Well, my hands are full. I've got my keep cup in one hand. Oh, yeah.

Hands are full. Phone and tap card. Yeah, right. And you're just tapping. Yeah. You're not interacting. It's not like there was a guy who served coffee in the area of work. Yeah.

Around our area. Yeah. And he used to leave his earbuds in. Oh, yeah, yeah. I wasn't a huge fan of that. But then nobody could still hear you and they'd still talk to you. Yeah, but... Well, some people leave one in, don't they?

One in, you just look like a modern real estate agent. Right, okay. You'd always rag on people for having a Bluetooth headset on. Yep, yep. Because how important do you think you are that you don't have time to lift your phone to your head? Yep. But that one thing now, you just look like a modern version of that. Yeah, right.

But is there a list of times of jobs where it's okay to leave the headphones on versus when they need to be taken off? Supermarket. Yeah, see, I've gone to the checkout before with my gym headphones in and I'll pause them but I'll still leave them in. You'll leave the headphones in. But is that rude? Maybe because they don't know if you've paused it or not, right? Yeah, it is kind of rude. But then I'm like, I don't want to take them out because then I'll lose them.

And then I have to put them back on. And then I've got my hands full. Yeah, after that. Okay, so is there service jobs? You certainly wouldn't work in service with headphones in. No. Like serving coffees, apart from the do-do. Well, some people do.

Some people do. They did it? Yeah. Okay.-do. Well, some people do. Some people do. They did it? Yeah. Okay. So whereabouts have you seen people wearing headphones and was it acceptable? Do you want to take some calls on this and see? Yes, and some text messages.

Right. Okay, maybe you've been in a situation where you've been wearing your headphones and someone told you off. And do you think it was like valid that they told you off or not? Yes, they told you to take them out. Or they wouldn't deal with you until you had removed them. Yeah, sure.

Okay. Okay, well 0800-966. Where were you wearing headphones and someone told you to take them out? Like they weren't going to deal with you until you removed your headphones. I feel like a lot of parents have to deal with this with kids as well. Because did you ever just always have your headphones in so you didn't have to? Like going out for dinner and you see families and there's a kid at the table with headphones in. Like that's...

I would have got a hiding. Can you imagine it? Talking about etiquette with headphones and when and where it's okay to wear them. Somebody said they went into a service station. Yep. Nobody said they went into a service station and the person in the service station indicated that they wanted their headphones taken out before they could. And they didn't have them on,

but they just had them in. Yeah. And they took them out and they said, and the sunglasses. And they made them take off the sunglasses. That might be a security thing though, because everyone's stealing petrol. Because I've been into a bank

and they're like, take your hat off. And I'm like, ugh. Like what, I'm stealing my own money and they're like, take your hat off. And I'm like, ugh. Like what, I'm stealing my own money with this card and ID I'm giving you. The people who steal petrol don't walk into the petrol station

with sunglasses on and be like, I'm stealing that petrol and you'll never know who it was. No, sometimes they have to go in for like a muffin and coffee. They're not very good

at stealing petrol. Well, I know, but they're getting better, closer up security camera footage of themselves for the sake of a coffee and muffin. No, criminals don't think about these things, Vaughn. So the etiquette with wearing headphones.

Maddie, what are your thoughts? I feel like you shouldn't wear them. And I've been at a party and someone was wearing their AirPods when there was music playing and everything. Yeah, see, that's weird, but it's because AirPods have become a fashion accessory, haven't they? Yeah, I guess.

In their own right. So, I mean, I'm guessing they didn't have them on, but they just had them in. I don't know. I don't know. Are they noise cancelling, the AirPods? I'd lose them. I don't think the Apple ones are.

I don't think they are. That's a ridiculous thing. I have them at a party. Thanks, you call Maddie. Callie? Oh, when I used to live in London, there used to be a cafe on Portobello Road that literally had a sign at the counter

saying we won't serve you if you're on your phone. I've actually been called out by someone in a cafe for wearing headphones. But I paused them It sounds good Yeah, I kind of get it Because you do, you're talking to these people You know, you've got to order your coffee

It's like, it's just rude when you're on your phone Like having another conversation And then I reckon good for them More people should do it Would you be happy working on the other side of the counter If the person said, they were on their phone And they said, can I just, hold on just a moment and they put their phone down and then they made the order, then they went back to the

phone? That's okay. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, good call. Thanks, Kelly. Some text messages in. I used to work at Domino's and we'd call out the name of the order when it's ready. I am so guilty of this at so many places when they call out the

number and I've got my headphones on. Yes. They said the person who made the order had noise-cancelling headphones on. We were busy. Yeah. And they didn't hear their name. Half an hour later, they came up to the counter and said, where's my order?

I've been waiting for an hour. And we said, we've been calling your name for like 20 minutes. Every few minutes. Every time another order was ready, we'd also call out your name and you never came forward because of your headphones. Yeah, that's on them. They wouldn't believe us and then they wouldn't agree to it

and then a few other customers were like, yeah, mate, we've been here for like 15 minutes and they've been calling your name heaps. So we asked on our Instagram with a poll, is it okay that we headphones are being served? No, rude. 90% of people. Right.

Somebody said our company got offered a really sweet deal on some very nice noise-cancelling headphones. An email went round saying the company's getting a special price. So everybody bought them. Everybody was like, this is a great price. Who could say? And then everyone started wearing them to work. And then the company banned wearing headphones at work.

Because that's another etiquette thing, is wearing headphones in like an office. Which if I had to work in a mind-numbing office all day, I would wear headphones. I would wear them because I'm too easily distracted. Yeah. So I would hear someone talk about something over yonder, and I'd be away from my desk having a chat,

having a goss, a chinwag. Yeah. That would be why I would have to wear headphones in an office. For sure. To stay focused and on task. So, yeah, most people are agreeing, rude. $100,000 secret sound. With Save My Bacon.

All thanks to Save My Bacon. A brighter way to borrow $51,000, the current jackpot. Soundkeeper Gary is in. Good morning, guys. How we doing? Good. How's your new soundkeeper uniform coming along? Oh, Guido from Sweden is supposed to be sending it.

I haven't heard from him in a week and a half. Yeah. Is it an AliExpress one? Because, you know, I got something off AliExpress who still hasn't turned up. Because my taco holder's turned up. Yeah. Pretty quickly from AliExpress considering. But it can take ages.

Yeah, but you know what? I can't even remember what I ordered off AliExpress. But I just know I ordered something. Go into your email. Yeah, I've been meaning to. Did you get a confirmation email? Yeah, but I deleted all of it. And search AliExpress.

Yeah, I've got to log in. But I know that, because you know it always takes two months to get here, but I've actually forgotten what I ordered. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Gu I know that, because you know, it always takes two months to get here, but I've actually forgotten what I ordered. Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Guido hasn't. The last message he said was, hey, you forgot to give me your address. And then he put a smiley face. He's one of those people who put emoticons in strangers' emails.

Right, maybe you shouldn't be that person that forgets your address when we need our uniform for the secret sound. Wait, was it actually colon hyphen bracket close? Correct. Because when you said emoticon, I was like, we call them emojis now, but he went full-blown... Actual, yeah, right, okay.

Wow. Well, you're there with the sleeveless money suit. And the smoky hat. Adapted for summer. Alexander, good morning. Yeah, g'day, how you going? Good, mate, good. All right, $51,000 is the current jackpot.

What would you, have you thought, just while you've been on hold there, have you thought, if I get this, like, what are you going to spend the money on? Probably an overseas trip somewhere with my girlfriend. Oh, nice. Okay. Yeah. 50 grand, you'll go wherever you want. Yeah, I know.

Probably Europe. Would you go, do you think you'd go first class? What was that? Would you go first class? Like business class? Or business? Yeah, I think it's one of those things, if I won that money,

I'd still have to splash out and see how the rich live. Yeah. Do it. Yeah. Okay. I love this kind of carefree attitude. Those people that call up and they're like,

I'm going to save it. Nah. I've got to spend it on something fun. All right, Alexander, let's have a listen to the secret sound. I always wonder if you're going to do three or two. Yes, I vary it up, Gary. I vary it up. All right, $51,000 is all yours, Alexander. You've just got to tell us what that sound is.

I think it's a garden sprinkler. You know the ones that release the water and then pivot back to the other, like, to the opposite direction and then spin it back around? You know what I mean? Like a... Yeah, those ones. That's the sprinkler game I'm running. Or is it one of those ones that, like, sits here and it kind of goes up

and it makes a... Oscillating sprinkler. Yeah, one of those. Yeah, I'm it kind of goes up and it makes an oscillating sprinkler? Yeah, one of those. Yeah, I'm thinking the ones that project it out and then rotate back around. Like the dance. Like the dance move, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, that's a hot game. And that could be the water landing on something, couldn't it? Yeah, I'm thinking the water coming out and then as it rotates back around. Right, okay. Slightly more sped up. Yeah, right. Okay, well, business class flights.

Paris. The south of France, maybe. Oh. The north of Italy. Eastern Europe. The west of Germany. Oh, Berlin. The east of Italy. Maybe Eastern Europe. The west of Germany. Monaco. Oh, Berlin. The east of Spain.

London. The Scandinavian countries. You'd be rich too. You could do those. Not for long. Not in Norway, baby. That's true. Alexander.

You're heading to Queenstown in Coach, my friend. That is not the secret sound. Ah! Hey, Megan, just before we get started on Don't Get Fletched Started. Oh, she's not here. Fletch. Yes, Vaughn. I hear yesterday you had a kitchen-based issue. I actually had a couple of kitchen-based issues yesterday, Vaughn.

Well, start with the one that's not the main Don't Get Fletched Started. What's that one? You know when a jar's got not much stuff left in it and you use that rubber, what are those called? Is it a spatula? Or a scraper? A rubber scraper. Or a spatula. You know those things?

That broke off. That broke. Was it connected? Yeah, it was connected. The handle broke off inside the end. So that was just a bit of a... Yeah, rubber spatula. Because I had a rubber spatula and the end would disconnect from the handle. Same, same. And I put it in a jar once

and I went to remove it and it plopped off in there. For the life of me, I couldn't get it out. It was too skiddy. Yeah, maybe we had the same brand of... But anyway, that broke off in there so I've got to buy a new one of those.

So I was upset at that and I... What were you making? What was in the jar? I was just doing lunch. I was getting honey out, the last of the honey in to make because I was upset at that. What were you making? What was in the jar? I was just doing lunch. I was getting honey out, the last of the honey, because I was making a delicious dressing for an Asian salad. So I was at the supermarket, and I'd actually seen a big bowl, and I was like, I need a big bowl,

because I've always just had smaller bowls, and everything goes everywhere. So I was like, I'm going to splash out and treat myself today and buy a big mixing bowl. Wait. What? Don't buy a singular mixing bowl. You buy the nesting. I know.

While I was at the supermarket, I was like, it would be nice to buy a big three-piece, big bowl set. With different sizes for different bowls. It was getting close. I needed a big bowl. I was like, it's only $12. You rushed. No, it was a good bowl.

It was a good bowl. Well, what I thought was a good bowl. This is where my issue started. Because I was in a bit of a rush. And it had places to be. And at the bottom of this giant bowl was the thing, like a label that said bowl. Like it was...

In case you picked up this metallic thing. Yeah. Thing. And you were like, well, why wouldn't you want this? And you're like, what the hell is this? No, it had the big, like the Wiltshire. It was a Wiltshire. And then it had like...

Oh, okay. They didn't brag about the labels you can afford. Very ooh-la-la. Wiltshire made in England. Is that a ooh-la-la bowl? I don't know. Sounds it, doesn't it? Well, anyway, so I'm like, well, I'll give this a rinse,

and I went to pull out the little paper thing at the bottom of the bowl, and it was stuck to the bowl with two, what I'm guessing was some kind of double-sided goo, and for the life of me, would not come off. And I was like, I do not need this in my life. And that is, if you're going to get me started on things, it's people that sell products with stickers on them that don't come off.

Like, you know, here's an example of a good sticker that comes off. Apples. Yes. And. Bananas. No, you know when you buy Sistema, the labels on Sistema. Yes. Beautiful peel-off labels.

However, I'm wondering, that feels like a very plasticky label, doesn't it? I don't care. This anti-plastic revolution we're having. I don't care. Are people moving away from plastic and going back to the paper? But it's when there are barcodes left on things. Yeah. You know, and you can't.

I think it's an adhesives issue. I think it's the people that make the bowls issue is you don't need to stick that on that much. Use some, roll over some sellotape. Like, it's not necessary stick that on that much. Use some, roll over some sellotape. Like, it's not necessary for that to be stuck. That could come off in transit. So I had to,

you know, dissolve it. I mean, I don't know who invented that, but they need a prize. I think they did get a prize. Lots of money. Yeah.

Lots of money. Cash money. Because that stuff dissolves everything. And so I had to, but there was this time consuming, and so it took me probably 10 minutes to get this sticky label residue.

And as you said, you had places to be. I'm very busy. Such a busy man. Never tells us what happens in those hours when he's not at work, but always busy. So finally I'm scratching. I had to, even with the dissolver, I had to scratch with my finger to get this adhesive off. And then you're left with a little bit of a... 10 minutes.

And then I rinse the bowl out with hot water to get rid of the dissolver. I dry the bowl. I turn it over and there's another effing label, a barcode. On the bottom. But that's all right. That's not touching your food.

Leave that one there. That'll come off the dishwasher. I did leave it there. I'm like, that's for another day. Dishwasher can take that off. Yeah, the hot water will peel that off. But God, I mean, I get why they do it

for some labels because they don't want people shoplifting and peeling off a barcode and putting it on something else. Okay, I see. That's why some of the barcode labels are tough to get off or they have those cuts in them so you can't rip them off. So when you pull them off, it falls to bits. But some things, oh God, it really rolls me up.

And I was going to email them, but then I got busy. Wiltshire. The bald busy. Wiltshire. The bowl people. Wiltshire. Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if they're in New Zealand. I don't even know this brand,

but I was like, I wanted to email them and say, you need to use a less sticky adhesive. Because they took 10 minutes of my life. Wiltshire. Oh, no, no.

This is the bowling club in Wiltshire. Oh, there's a bowling club? Yeah, yeah. There's a few actually. Maybe do they do bowls? Do they do bowls? They bowl.

Right. The Wiltshire, the home there. Does that not annoy you when labels don't come off? Sticky labels? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very much so.

Okay. Well, thank you. Once we had one on a casserole dish. Right. Now, if it had been on the outside of the casserole dish. Right. Now, if it had been on the outside of the casserole dish, I shan't have given it a second thought. I would have let the oven take care of it.

Yeah, but it's inside. But it was on the inside. So I got out the scraper for the ceramic oven top, and I was like going underneath. Now, that was all going well until I got to the end, and then I put a big scratch in it. Yeah, see? I got told off.

There's no need for that label to be so adhesive. What is the, what's the idea behind that? Well, they're having too many labels go I don't know, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Somebody, some messages in. Okay.

Coconut oil. Oh, okay. Gets the stickers off if you're ever out of Dissolve It. Okay. And somebody said, I had a good argument with somebody in Stephens.

Stephens? Okay. About how hard it was to get their stickers off their bottles. Thank you. Yeah. I'm not alone.

I bought dog balls from Kmart and the entire sticker on the bottom wouldn't come off and it was on most of the base. I couldn't get it off.

It's so wild. Why not a couple of blobs of glue rather than the entire label thing? Yes, thank you. So very adhesive. I'm thinking this seems to be some kind of legislation or law maybe.

Yeah. See, if we were in the EU, they'd get it done. They would, yeah. They'd chuck crazy rules around left, right and centre. They'd be like, from now on, the rule is no more than two blobs of agreed upon adhesive. And that's fair enough. Or just some sellotape. Because then it easily peels off.

But I think from now on, I'm going to take these bowls back into the store and say, you remove this. But that's really more time than it would take to actually remove the label. Who at the supermarket's job would be to deal with that? Well, I don't know. I knew they would cause so much confusion in the well oil machine

that is a supermarket. Trolley boy, leave the trolleys. Oh, I'm not the trolley boy. Shouldn't have to do it. He should be the service manager. They're too busy. They get paid for. Managing service.

They're not paid to actually get your stickers off. I'm not paying for a bowl with an adhesive in it. I don't want a bowl that's a bowl. Right. Without adhesive. Anyway. Well, you're not alone. Many text messages of support coming in.

Thank you. Fleshforn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. At the weekend, Indy. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. At the weekend, Indy, my daughter had her eighth birthday party. It was a sleepover. Yeah. It was loud for quite a while.

Yeah. But at one stage, we went to get the pizzas and the Land Rover, and everybody's in the Land Rover, and we're driving along, and there's a game of I Spy kicks off. Okay. And I Spy with my little eye, something beginning with W. Now, the rules were it had to be in the Land Rover. Okay, right.

Because otherwise it could be anything. W and in the Land Rover. Why does it have to be in the Land Rover if you're driving? I Spy is much more fun when it's... But it's a constantly changing landscape. Well, that's what makes the game harder. No, because what you spy, if it's not guessed almost immediately, it could be gone.

Good. So it could just be guess a word starting with... Right, that's why when they start with the letter, you've got to be eyes open. You look for a very geographically specific thing to lead with I spy. Well, it was W. Okay. In the Land Rover.

No, I'm out okay seatbelt seats a wing mirror no I'm out it was window window

oh the window okay window window was the end answer oh when answer right but when things were getting oh god that was so easy tossed

I know it was right in front of you bloody kids quite literally yeah, when things were getting tossed around. Oh God, that was so easy. I know, it was right in front of you. Bloody kids. Quite literally. Yeah. So when it was getting tossed around, Indy said,

is it wanker? And none of the kids batted either. And I went, oh, wait a minute, I'm her dad. So I've got to intervene.

I was like, what did you just say? And she said, wanker. Right. And I've got to intervene. I was like, what did you just say? And she said wanker. And I said, do you know what that means? And she's like, no, is it a word? I just kind of made it up. I thought I was making up a sound. Made it up. And I said,

no, no, it's like a swear word. And because she's the innocent one, she hasn't said it again since. If this had been August, I'd imagine we'd be hearing it a lot. But she's the innocent one yep she hasn't said it again since if this had been August I'd imagine we'd be hearing it a lot a lot yeah but she's the innocent one

she's like oh my god was it a swear word it's like yes she's like what does it mean because we've talked about

how swear words mostly have origins yeah right and she's like what does it mean what is it yeah what's a wanker

so at this time, I've said it's a swear word so all the ears are listening now. Yeah, all the kids are listening. The Game of Ice by is ground to a halt. Yeah. And they all want to know what it is. Yep.

And I say, it's just a swear word. We don't say that. It's just we don't say it. We don't say it. It's what you would say to someone. Yep. And then someone in the back pipes up. So you would say it, you are a wanker, is how it would be used.

And I say, yeah, yeah, okay, that's cool. We've established how it's used. We don't need to say it anymore. Right. A few more examples were thrown my way of how to use it in its correct context. Yep. I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep. Right.

Let's forget that. What was that letter again? And then later on she says to me, I'm sorry for saying that. I didn't know what it meant. I just thought. So innocent. I know.

And I was like, oh, that's okay. That's okay. But where did she hear it from? She records, she just chucked some sounds together. Really? And came up with it. Awfully. This is reminiscent of the time.

No, I don't say that. No, you don't really say it. Nah. She's more likely to say like some other harsh, more. Yes, well this is like the first time I said the C word. At the dinner table when I was probably seven or eight. Yeah, right. How old she is now. Yep. I don't know at all what it meant. Yeah, right. Somebody bantered it around at primary school quite loosely. And I went home and I thought it might have meant like, you're being annoying. Yeah, right.

And I think my father told me to eat with my mouth shut and I responded by calling him. Wow. I know. I was thrown. Yeah. It was the 80s. It was still legal.

Yeah. I was thrown from the dinner table. Yeah, I don't think it was legal in the 80s, but it was done. To throw your children. Yeah. Was it not? No, I don't think so. I was thrown. It was a lino floor, so I sk was done. To throw your children. Yeah. Was it not? No, I don't think so. I was thrown.

It was a lino floor, so I skidded and rolled when I hit the ground. But I learnt from then on out that word is not... I've never said it in front of my parents again. Yeah, right. The C word. Out of fear that my now 64-year-old father could still throw me. Could throw you across. If he really wanted to.

So we've learnt that word. And are you just waiting for the other parents to get in touch, just wondering why they're kids? I have been wondering if I'm going to hear from anybody when that word gets thrown around throughout the week. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Right now it's time for Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day is that in Georgia, in America, that is the state of Georgia, just outside Atlanta, the nearest and biggest city that you might be familiar with, there is the Georgia Guidestones, which is a mysterious monument on how to reestablish civilization. Okay. So this happened in 1979. A man under a pseudonym approached a granite company, which I'm guessing

weren't making too many benchtops then because it was probably the age of Formica. It wasn't in vogue in fashion. No, to have a granite or many benchtops then because it was probably the age of Formica. It wasn't in vogue and fashion. No, to have a granite or stone benchtop. So he approached and said, I'm going to need some massive slabs because I want to build a monument. And they were like, okay, this is going to cost quite a bit. And he's like, not a problem.

I've got some cash. I've got lots of cash. But no one ever knows anything more about this guy other than the fact he's obviously using a fake name. Yeah. And he has tons of cash. And he's wanting to build a monument. And he's got a bit of land and he wants to build this monument.

Okay. So on the monument, which was finished in 1980, there is written on the front that says, Let these be the guide stones to an age of reason. And this is in eight different languages inscribed all over. So that's great. Options. It's not necessarily the people who survived the apocalypse

are going to be English speakers. Yeah, true. Or have Google Translate on their phone to be able to hold up. But in 1980, that would have been some sci-fi stuff. You're going to be able to hold your phone up and it's going to be able to live translate a language. So English, Spanish, Swahili.

Yeah. A long way from home. Speaking Swahili in Atlanta, Georgia. Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Okay. And there's rules and sort of like guides on how to re-establish civilization. Also on there, it works as an active sundial.

Right. And it also has north, south, east, west. Apparently there is a crucial time capsule buried under it. Yeah. To help re-establish society. And no one knows who this guy was. Weird. Really weird act.

And they reckon it costs a ton of money, and it's now being upkept by local council. The council pays to mow the lawns and stuff around it. But the land was owned by this guy, and it was all paid for. But if everybody else died, and you found your way to this monument, you'd know it all, wouldn't you?

How to reestablish life. I don't know, make some more babies? I don't know. It says some of the things on there are humanity should never exceed 500 million. Right. Because that's where it blows out of balance with nature. Okay. Screwed that, haven't we?

Yeah, yeah. Balance personal rights with social duties. Leave room for nature. Do not be a cancer of the earth such as we were. Oh, okay. So a little bit. Yeah, it's kind of coming true, isn't it? But it's really, you can go there.

It's all signposted and everything. Yeah, right. But the origins of it are really mysterious. And no one knows who this guy is. And they don't know if he's alive or if he's dead or. If he was from the future trying to warn us. Imagine that. Well, you just got a lot of conspiracy theory on. Yeah, you're just going to put a conspiracy theory on it.

Yeah, didn't I? Also written on there, dead languages, Babylonian. Yep. Also classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Oh, okay. Are written on there with instructions on how to control, alt, delete, revert, revert humanity. Good.

So today's fact of the day is if you're ever in Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, Georgia, you can go see the mysterious monument known as the Georgian Guidestones. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. May have already been tagged on this. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. May have already been tagged in this on Facebook.

Anya's probably tagged a new friend. Who did you tag in this? Molly? No, Sinead. Has Sinead and Molly met? Nah, they're beefing. So this is, yeah. I knew they would be.

They're not, they're not. They are. So you made a new best friend, Sinead, you met her on the plane. Yeah. How does your other best friend feel about this? Longtime best friend, Molly, is hesitant. She should be. She should be suspicious. So who did you tag in this post that Vaughn's about to talk about? I tagged in Sinead, new best friend on the plane,

because she works close by and we had a about to talk about. I tagged in Sinead, new best friend on the plane, because she works close by and we had a lot to talk about. Well, we have a lot to talk a bitch about on the reg. I see her probably more regularly because we work closer together. God, she's number one friend now. Her name's too Irish-y sounding. What does that matter?

Sinead, the most Irish-sounding female name possible. Is that only because of Sinead O'Connor nothing compares to matter? Sinead. The most Irish sounding female name possible. Is that only because of Sinead O'Connor nothing compares to you? Irish? And then the last name's got an O and then a comma. Yeah, okay. She could only be more Irish if her name was Sinead O'Dwiel. I don't actually pick my friends based off their level of Irishness. Oh, Vaughan does.

Oh, you do? Molly's your other friend. She sounds very Irish too. What's her last name? Foster? Yeah, because he's of Irishness. Oh, Vaughan does. Oh, you do? Molly's your other friend. She sounds very Irish too. What's her last name? Foster? Yeah, because he's an Irish bar, Molly Malone's. It's just a very Irish name.

What are you talking about? Can we talk about the bitching thing, please? Hmm? Yeah, you have gone off track. Molly, you'll gaff again. So this is, you've tagged in Sinead, and that's a big call.

But it is important to your health to have someone to bitch with. So like have a bestie or like a friend where you just, or you both just like lay it out. That's just us in here every morning, isn't it? While the songs are playing. Shall we ask Fletch, who did you tag in? Oh, I haven't tagged anyone in this post. Who would you tag in?

I don't, I wouldn't tag any, I'd tag Vaugh in this post. Who would you tag in? I wouldn't tag anyone. I'd tag Vaughn. Probably. Because we love a good bitch, don't we? We love a goss. We love a goss. I've actually got a lot of goss from the weekend. We haven't, because you were away yesterday,

haven't had a chance to catch up. We've got phones. You could have messaged me. Yeah, but it's better in person. Is it that sort of? There is that level of goss too, eh? Yeah. There's message goss,

but then there's the goss that you need to see their reaction. Yeah, that's why I'm waiting to see your reaction. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. That's good. That tells me it's going to be next level goss. But it's very important,

and it's great because you have to know this person. Vent Buddy is another name that's tossed around in this article. You have to know that they won't judge you for your judging. Oh, you're right. Yeah. This is also you and your wife. It's a judgment-free judgment. Oh, you love a goss.

That's the secret to our long-term, our marriage success. Yeah. And then we can be like, all right. And then we know that it's time to have a bit of a go at it. Bitch session. Yeah, right. Yeah. And then we can be like, all right. And then we know that it's time to have a bit of a go at it. A no holds barred bitch sesh, yeah. Yeah, right, okay.

Not in front of the kids though because we realise it's a bad habit that we don't necessarily want to pass on. Like, if one of them somehow harnesses

Yeah. the, the, the inherited vent, the venting bitchness from both of us. Yeah.

We could have the next great superhero on our page. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. We talked about the pure cheese taco shells before on the show. Now, you're doing Taco Tuesday? I'm going to make these for Taco Tuesday. So this is where you grate cheese onto baking paper, and you put it over a rolling pin, and then it hardens and goes chewy.

And then you fill that like you would a taco. Yeah. So you, very simple, but you seem really caught up on getting a recipe for it. Yeah. So I've got you the recipe. Thank you. And I just wanted to know like oven temperature, what cheese? Because does the cheese matter?

Cheddar cheese. Cheddar. Cheddar cheese. Accordingeddar. Cheddar cheese. According to this recipe, cheddar cheese. Because you probably want like a high fat cheese, right? Yeah.

Maybe, I don't know. Parchment paper, not waxed paper. Now what's parchment? That's what you would write a letter to the Israelites, wouldn't you? On parchment paper

and have it sent via John the Baptist. Not waxed paper. Not waxed paper. Well, baking paper is parchment paper, isn't it? I thought baking paper was wax paper. No, it's not waxed. Is that parchment? So.

What? I don't know. Googling. Yeah, it's baking paper. Okay. It's not waxed. I've always thought that was wax paper. It's not waxed. It's waxed. Okay. That's wax paper. Okay. It's not waxed. I've always thought that was waxed paper. It's not waxed.

It's waxed. Okay. That's waxed. But anyway. So, hold on. Hey, Siri. What's 375 degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius? 190 degrees.

There you go. 190 degrees. Yeah, good. Preheat the oven. Okay, yeah. Oh, always preheat. Jam that in there. One rack on the upper third. One degrees. Yeah, good. Preheat the oven. Okay, yeah. Oh, always preheat. Jam that in there. One rack on the upper third, one rack on the lower third.

Yep. Do it on both. Now, there might be a bit of switch-o-change-o here. Yeah, right. Five minutes, swap positions, five minutes in the other place, because apparently that'll crunch it up some. Okay. But then when you take it out, hang her over to a rolling pin,

and you'll get the nice hangy thing. Can we do one of those text backs? Like if people, don't shake your head. That's not a positive attitude. I need a little get-go from my executive intern. Nah, I've had enough, eh? A little cha-chang-chang. My answer is thank you, no.

I'm going to send you this link. I'm going to feel like Josh Emmett doing one of his big stories and making something delicious. Can you imagine if Josh Emmett made something and the only ingredient was cheese? Josh Emmett, if you're listening. That would be outlandish. I'm going to message him. Group chat, boom-fa was cheese. Josh Emmett, if you're listening. Outlandish. I'm going to message him.

Group chat, boomfah. At the bottom of that, there's a recipe. Now, what I want people to be able to do is text recipe to 9696 and it will send them back a link to that recipe. This smells like extra work, so. It tastes like extra work too. Cheese. 100% cheese.

Will we be paid in cheese if we do extra? Are you kidding me? Have you seen how much cheese costs? That's the thing about this recipe. You're going to have to use a whole block of cheese just to make your taco shell. Well, they're saying a third a cup of grated cheese per taco shell.

And you know how many I ate last night? Six. I ate two cups of cheese last night. And I had some dreams. You had some dreams. I bet you did. Some aspirations. Yeah.

Some dreams. Some visions, actually. I think I saw the future. Yeah, right. In a couple of them. But anyway, if it is takashow. Why don't we get it up on the Insta story later so people can swipe up for the recipe.

That'd be a lot easier, wouldn't it? Just keep an eye on that. Yeah, but I want to give them options. You can't just set up a text thing right away an eye on that. Yeah, but I want to give them options. Well, it's too, you can't just set up a text thing right away, Vaughn. Okay, cancel the text. Cancel the text thing.

Has the text thing been cancelled? Well, you're not picking up on the looks. What I want to do is I want to get this text thing set up and then I want some promos to run throughout the day saying some promos.

You want trailers about cheese. Georgia, you've got a show coming up next. Promo this. Yeah, well, I love cheese. She's on board. So I'm all about it. So wait, you want Georgia a show coming up next. Promo this. Yeah, well, I love cheese. She's on board. So I'm all about it. So wait, you want Georgia during her daytime radio show.

To promo the text code recipe. Right, so for example, she would say, ZM, hi, I'm Georgia. That was Post Malone. I don't think she'd say, hi, I'm Georgia. Have you done a radio show before? She'd be like, ZM, go. Post Malone. Yuck.

I don't think she'd say her name. Well, how would you do it? Okay, do a voice break. How do you do it? Mentioning the cheese recipe. ZM, Georgia here. Georgia here. She didn't say, hi, I'm Georgia.

I could, though. Georgia here. Okay. You don't be like, are you a cheese lover like I am? Bingo. Yeah, because you've hooked me now because I'm listening. And you know what? I am a cheese lover. Unless I'm lactose intolerant. Yeah, but.'ve hooked me now because I'm listening and you know what? I am a cheese lover

unless I'm lactose intolerant. Yeah, but... Then I still love it but it's bad for me. Vegan cheese. Yuck. But you could possibly have it though. I don't know if it would

form into a shell. I don't know if vegan cheese would work in the tacos. Okay. You've got the point. You've got the point finger going. A little cheesy finger point. Also, if we are going to give out this recipe,

no one's allowed to make it with mints. Yes. I had it with mints. It was absolutely fine. What are we talking about? Hey, thanks for having me today. I've had fun. I might come back tomorrow if that's all right.

Oh, yeah, that'd be lovely. Do I work here? You do. Great.
