Oh, a million bucks. Wonderful. A million bucks. I woke up this morning and I was... You're in a petri dish. I know. I woke up this morning and I was like, and I was like, oh, I better not be getting what they had. But then I was like, well, maybe I'll have a sick day. Maybe Friday would be a good day for a sick day. Thanks for doing the buttons.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Who's going to press the buttons if I'm not here? Can't be that hard. No one's going to push the buttons. Producer James is gone. Yep. Executive intern Anya might have to press the buttons. She knows how to, so. Yeah, but she's shaking her head.
Starting point is 00:00:43 She doesn't want to. You push the buttons on your podcast, don't you? I do. Like, I know how to do it. Yeah, I just don't really want to. So, did I see you got a producer for your podcast? Yes. Two?
Starting point is 00:00:58 Who do you think you are? No, I've seen Mountie. Oh, yeah, Mountie helps out, yeah. So, all of a sudden you get above our podcast in the ratings. Yeah. And then you get a producer. Do you guys have a barista or is that just us as well? Unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:01:16 You should get one. You guys should really try it, sweetheart. God. Well, I tell you what, your podcast is screwed when The Bachelorette finishes You're such a Right That's that then isn't it And then
Starting point is 00:01:30 you're going to have to be the one to lay off your producers How's that going to feel I think we all know there's a finite shelf life to this show No one's under the impression
Starting point is 00:01:38 it's going forever It's probably better to lay them off than have them all quit like has happened for us recently Well This is true.
Starting point is 00:01:45 You've got your hair. Yeah. Fair call. Although they did last a while, so that's good, isn't it? Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's very quiet in the producer's booth now.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Coming up on the show, the top six. Vaughan Smith. Yeah,'s um a free adult fun toy giveaway this is for valentine's day isn't it yes good publicity for this adult so thursday the day before valentine's day between 12 30 and two yep uh there's gonna be a giveaway of sex toys in Aotea Square of all places. Aotea Square. Aotea. Sorry, that was terrible, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yeah, it was. So I want to say teka water rather than teko fata. It's ingrained and I'm doing my best to remedy that situation. Is there going to be judgement when you rock up?
Starting point is 00:02:42 I hope a Christian group finds out about it besides the protest. Do a protest and then get a sneaky one on the way out. Yeah, but I don't think that goes against... Christian values. Yeah, like God still is okay with the big... Well, he's watching.
Starting point is 00:02:56 He's watching. Oh, is he? No, but he can't see through your roof. No, but you're not supposed to like... What kind of roof have you got? Well, it's just a normal roof, isn't it? Oh, no, he can't see through color steel, but he can see through everything else. What about tents?
Starting point is 00:03:07 That's why we went colour steel. Can he see through tents? Tents? Yeah, it's thin. He's basically in the tent. Right, okay. He's always around, isn't he? So he'll know if you're using an adult fun toy.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Yeah. Well, you've got the top six dealing with this. Yeah, the top six things to know about a free sex toy giveaway. Right. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Well, story time, three news headlines. And we're going to make a deliberate discuss debate which headline you'd like.
Starting point is 00:03:37 We'll delve into that story. Headline one, couple facing possession charges. Headline two, just in time for Valentine's Day. And headline three, free denny's with a catch. Those are your three headlines. Free denny's with a catch. Yeah. What kind of catch?
Starting point is 00:03:58 It's got to be your birthday. And you've got to be dining with three or more other diners. Is that a thing? You know, it was no buffet. I remember some buffets had that. Didn't Valentine's do that? Your kids would dine free on their birthday? Yeah, and Denny's. Did they?
Starting point is 00:04:12 I'm sure Denny's. Denny's. You can't just say that. Because when you go to Denny's. No, I'm not saying they do it anymore, but I'm sure they used to. Right. Everyone used to always be singing happy birthday. Denny's diners also offer a free birthday meal
Starting point is 00:04:26 dubbed our gift to you on your special day. However, you must dine with at least one other paying guest and the terms and conditions require a free meal to be the one that you, the birthday person, consumes. Oh, that's all good. So can I have the biggest meal? It's like you have to go with one other person, but if you go by yourself, it'll be like, it's my birthday.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And they're like, no, you don't have any friends. Fine, I'll buy two meals. And I'll only pay for one and I'll have the other takeaway. You're already there by yourself. Give them a free meal. I would just wait for someone to come along
Starting point is 00:04:58 and ask if I could join them. Oh my God, that's even sadder. Dude, that's even worse. Imagine if you went, it's my birthday and I want a free meal but I don't have anyone to eat with.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Can I join you guys? Can we go to Denny's for my birthday just because I don't want to pay? Yep. That sounds great. There's one right on the road. I know. Dad's right on the way.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Should have got excited. Why? Because he hadn't seen one. Right. In New Zealand. Oh, okay. He hasn't been looking, obviously. No, no, obviously.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I've heard about them. Okay. So do you want the Denny's story or do you want which one? Just in time for Valentine's Day or couple facing position charges? Oh. Or Denny's. Yeah. I kind of want Denny's.
Starting point is 00:05:43 What do you want? Yeah. Okay. Me too. Denny's. A lot of free advertising this morning, haven't they? Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's. Yeah. I kind of want Denny's. What do you want? Yeah. Okay, me too. Denny's. We've got a lot of free advertising this morning, haven't they? Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's. Yum.
Starting point is 00:05:52 That was the jingle, right? Yep. The most uncreative jingle of all time. It sounds like Ford came up with it when they were like, have you got that jingle ready? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's 4.45 on a Friday. Okay, go.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's, Denny's. Yum. Shit, that was amazing. You got music for that? Yep. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Ding.
Starting point is 00:06:22 And you can go home now. Yeah. Literally, that's exactly what happened, you can imagine. Well, in America, Denny's has set up a pop-up chapel just in time for Valentine's Day this Friday. If you go along and get married, you get free Denny's. Oh, so they've extended it not only now on your birthday but your wedding day. Yeah, for your wedding day as well. Just the bride and groom? Or the extended wedding party?
Starting point is 00:06:50 Well, I think just the bride and groom but they do have a chance. This is in Vegas. It's obviously the home of the shotgun wedding, normally with Elvis. No mention of Elvis. But yeah, Valentine's Day promo with a wedding package. Yeah, still cheaper than your local reception hall.
Starting point is 00:07:05 It will still cost you $200 because obviously you've got to get the marriage license. And they've got to have staff and stuff. But they will be offering $2, $4, $6 and $8 drink specials for your guests. That's lovely. Does it say what those different drinks are? Well, no, it doesn't. No, but I'm assuming maybe the $8 ones are the cocktails. You do get complimentary wedding pancake puppies and a champagne toast.
Starting point is 00:07:31 I don't know what pancakes are. Are they little puppies? Are they pancakes in the shape of puppies? Maybe. A wedding pancake puppies cake. Are there balls? Are there balls? Pancake balls.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Pancake balls. Oh, yum. Like a ball of pancake. Yeah. No need to register. You just pop up, you turn up on Valentine's Day, and you can get free Denny's. Great.
Starting point is 00:07:51 If you get married. That's in, obviously, just Las Vegas, and not here in New Zealand stores. No. But as one previously mentioned, if it is your birthday, cash in. On your birthday. And you're dining with at least one other person.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yes. Your meal will be free. Flesh, Vaughan Get married on your birthday. And you're dining with at least one other person. Yes. Your meal will be free. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. What you eat may be affected by who you follow on social media. So scientists have discovered that if you follow friends that tend to eat pretty healthy, you'll be eating more fruit and vegetables. Well, I follow Vaughan and he's always barbecuing meats.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I was just watching First We Feast and that hot sauce one where that guy interviews them while they're eating hot wings. Don't say it like that's a common thing that everyone knows about. You know that. No. The hot ones. He gets all the biggest
Starting point is 00:08:45 interviews. Does he? Oh yeah, everybody. All these celebrities are like eating wings. They eat really hot wings. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:08:52 They're all like, you've seen Paul Rudd, have you seen the Paul Rudd one? No, I haven't seen any. Where Paul Rudd says to him, look at us. I think this is just
Starting point is 00:08:58 in your meat community. No, it's not. It's not just in the meat community. I've never heard of it before. The hot ones. I'm sure it's called the hot ones. The hot ones. Okay. Oh, I've never heard of it before. The hot ones. I'm sure it's called the hot ones. The hot ones.
Starting point is 00:09:06 Okay. Oh, I've never heard of it either. So what if you follow people? Yeah, so it's more friends and family. So if you're like, it's not so much celebrities, but if your people in your social groups are eating well, or if they're eating bad, it's going to influence how you eat. So if you're following lots of people who are, like, posting, like,
Starting point is 00:09:26 fitspo and, like, healthy things, you're more likely to eat more fruit and vegetables. And vice versa if they're like, look at this. But nobody, like, we're all going to a restaurant and we take a photo of our delicious, you know, unhealthy meal like a burger. No one's taking a picture of their fruit bowl. Oh, I'm the opposite. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:44 On my social media, everyone's posting pictures of their smoothie bowls and their salads and stuff. But it's what they don't post afterwards. You're not posting your treats and ice creams afterwards. And when a whole bag of biscuits falls in your mouth. Yeah. I hate that. God. Why do they make them fall out of the bag so easy? I know. They need to be in the bag harder. And then they all go mouth. Yeah. I hate that. God. Why do they make them fall out of the bag so easy?
Starting point is 00:10:06 I know. They need to be in the bag harder. And then they all go in. Yeah. Oh, man. But apparently, what did they say? It was a very,
Starting point is 00:10:16 oh, that obesity can spread through communities like a social contagion. So if you or your friends are overeating, then... So I've got to wear a mask now because of obesity. Yeah. That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:10:28 They'll just stop the food going in your mouth hole, so yeah, that'll work quite a treat. Stop the biscuits. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Sir Elton John has been doing some shows around this lovely country of ours. Yeah, and last Auckland show is what, this weekend? Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:44 We're going, Sunday, aren't we? Yes, yes. Looking forward to it. Looking forward to it. Hot date with Vaughan's parents. Yep. They're going to be... So they've done two big concerts in a row.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Yeah. They went to Queen with Adam Lambert. Right. How are they holding up? Well, now they're going away for a week of four-wheel driving in the South Island. What? Just lift it up. Is that getting out of control, spending your inheritance?
Starting point is 00:11:07 I know. That's very rude. There better be lots left. But yeah, and then this is the last thing before they head home. Right, okay. Never again in February. That's what Dad kept saying. Why?
Starting point is 00:11:20 It's too hot? No, it's too much to do on the farm. Oh, yeah, right. Too dry. Too dry to be bloody skiving off on the farm. Oh, yeah, right. Too dry. Too dry to be bloody skiving off around the country. You've got to live life. Elton John doesn't come in winter, does he? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:33 He's a bear. He hibernates, doesn't he? He hibernates, yeah. He eats a lot and then goes into a cave. Yeah. Eats a lot of salmon and then goes into a cave for winter. Well, he's well known for being a diva. The Gucci handbag incident on the private jet in Australia was captured on camera.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Very hilarious. You can tell he's a grumpy old prick sometimes. Yeah. But a hell of a showman. He's like you. Puts on a hell of a show but a real grumpy old prick. Give you millions of dollars and lots of adoring fans, you would be exactly the same. You'd throw your Gucci out the plane too.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Yeah, Alden John hair plugs in no time. You'd have some big purple specs. Shiny suit. Oh, I would. So a story going around that one of the opening acts that played at the Mission Estate concert in Napier will not be joining for the next concert because they woke him up from his pre-gig nap.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Now, apparently he gets to the venue and pops in a little snooze. Right. Because he is, how old is he now? 70 something. Elton John is... 72 years old. 72, yeah, wow.
Starting point is 00:12:49 So yeah, just a little nun. 25th of March, his birthday. Before he bangs out the piano. So the story of what ended last week was that this band woke him up. That was the story. But now the story has they've been cut. And the organisers have said it's due to a scheduling conflict
Starting point is 00:13:09 but the band's like no it's not. Scheduling conflict means Oh yeah whenever anyone says oh the scheduling conflict means tickets aren't selling. Tickets didn't sell
Starting point is 00:13:20 and they had to cancel. Or you got fired because Elton John you woke Elton John up from a nap. Those are the two things that actually you got fired because Elton John, you woke Elton John up from a nap. Yeah. Those are the two things that actually makes. Imagine if Elton John fired you.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Yeah. I'd want him to do it personally, just so you had a good story to tell. Do you think it was because that story got out? About them waking him up from the nap. Rather than waking him up from the nap. Yeah, either way. They made him look like a diva. And that's why they got him. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:13:49 But I don't know if he's bothered by that, is he? No, I was going to say. He throws Gucci's out the plane. Yeah, if you were that bothered about your diva behaviour, you wouldn't have been doing it for the last 25 years in public, any opportunity you got. Yeah, that's true. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Hello there. That is the top six. Hello there. That did not sound creepy. No, that was... I hear what you're just about to do. That also wasn't how I intended that to happen. Hello there. Tomorrow at Altair Square in Auckland, there's going to be free sex toys handed out.

My friend tells me that the basic version doesn't hit the spot, but the second version, bellissimo. Oh, wow. Okay, fantastic.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Thank you. Allegedly. I'm turning your mic off now. Executive producer, thank you. There's another one called the Satisfyer Vibe. That has not got anywhere there. Satisfyer Vibes to me sounded like the small pocket version. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Yeah, right. No, not for you. Not unless you're wearing cargo pants. So they're actually giving those away? Yeah. Wow. What other ones? And a whole bunch of other products handed out by the angels.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Right. Aren't they worth like 70 bucks or something? Yeah. I'm sure this will be while stocks last. And they've got their free publicity, haven't they? Oh, definitely. Working a treat. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:16:29 So the top six things you need to know about the adult fun toy giveaway. Yeah. Number six. Don't just take them from anyone in Altair Square. There are some people there that are probably just giving out old sex toys. Look, it's an interesting place. Be careful. Check who you're getting it from. Some people there that talk to
Starting point is 00:16:51 pigeons exclusively. That's where I famously kicked a pigeon there. Do you remember that? Yes, I won't ever forget. I thought it would move and it didn't. Well, they do. Yeah, they normally always move. Not this one. It was live on the radio too. I probably would have been cancelled for that if it wasn't nowadays.
Starting point is 00:17:08 You probably wouldn't have told everyone that. Animal cruelty. But that's a pageant. Doesn't matter. It's a living thing. Nah, there's too many of them. Number five on the list of the top six things to know about the free adult fun toy giveaway. There's an old Smith family saying.
Starting point is 00:17:26 There we go. If a sex toy's free, always give it a good wipe down. I mean, I'm sure they'll be in their packets, but sure.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah. Yeah. Still can't hurt, can it? Not with coronavirus going around. This is true. Your mum,
Starting point is 00:17:41 Christine, installed in you over your... Oh no. She... Jesus, I think you're about to say something else. Oh, okay. Yeah, other side of the family.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Other side of the family, very prudish Catholics. You don't talk about it. Number four on the list of the top six things to know about the free adult fun toy giveaway. Best to get some batteries on the way. Nothing's worse than opening your Christmas presents and not having batteries. And even if they do come with batteries,
Starting point is 00:18:11 they're always those cheap ones that don't last long. Yeah, you've got to get some, I mean, what? High-trans device. You want your Everettys, you want your Energizers, you want your Duracells. Yep, you want a good battery in there. Don't cheap out on the batteries. Number three on the

Number two on the list of the top six things to know about the free adult fun toy giveaway. There's going to be a password to get the goodies. Oh, okay. Yeah. One lowercase, one uppercase, a special symbol, a number,
Starting point is 00:18:54 and tick the squares that contain a vehicle and prove you're not a robot. No one said it was going to be easier getting your sticky fingers on the sofa. I didn't even think about that when I was writing it down. No one said it was going to be easy getting your hands on a Satisfyer. Yeah. And it shouldn't be either. You should have to work for. Yeah, you should.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Pleasures that extreme should require effort. Yep. That's almost a saying there. Yeah. You know, like the harder you work for something. Yep. That's almost a saying. There's almost a saying there. Yeah. You know, like the harder you work for something, the more you'll enjoy the reward. Pleasures that extreme should be... I'm sure there's one already.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Someone's already come out with that. Pleasures that extreme should be fraught with efforts. Unparalleled. That's really good. I've been listening to a Stephen Fry podcast. Oh, you're right. That man talks in some big words He does And number one on the list of the top six things to know
Starting point is 00:19:50 About a free adult fun tour giveaway Remember they're fun but they're not humans We still need that human interaction Who are you trying to convince? Don't replace us in the bedroom Is that what you're trying to say? Pretty much These things can't get the spider
Starting point is 00:20:05 out of the bathroom, you know? Yeah, true. They might need us to help out with stuff. We can do the washing, I don't know, do the dishes they're doing. Why won't you come out? Come out of the room. Unlock this door.
Starting point is 00:20:18 That's today's top six. I think you've paid for it. With all those free plugs, you've definitely got a free one. It's the least they can do. One. Did you not hear? He doesn't want a free one. It's the least they can do. One? Did you not hear he doesn't want a free one?
Starting point is 00:20:27 He's going to replace him. Oh look, I don't mind. Flesh, Fawn and Megan The Podcast ZM There has been
Starting point is 00:20:35 a ongoing study in Australia at the Edith Cowan University. Okay. I didn't know who Edith Cowan was. Now obviously
Starting point is 00:20:44 an Australian scholar of sorts. Yeah, I mean I don't know who Edith Cowan was. Now obviously an Australian scholar of sorts. Yeah, I mean I don't think it matters. Well... It doesn't matter. She's a social reformer who worked for the rights and welfare of women and children. So I think you'll find it does matter. Well, not in the scheme of the story. It doesn't
Starting point is 00:20:59 matter. Well, it does because that was why they would study it because they've looked into parenting and families and they studied hundreds of groups of parents over a five-year period to find out what makes the happiest parents. And apparently the answer is four children. Four? Now, you have two.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Do you want four? That's heaps enough. That's getting a minivan kind of stuff. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. Even three is the next level up in vehicle. Now you grew up in a family with three kids. You had two, a brother and sister. Yeah. How do you think that was?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Oh, my parents weren't happy. No. They needed one more. They were always yelling. Smacking. Screaming. Frustrated. Busy. Tired. Crying Angry Hungry
Starting point is 00:21:48 See I think two would be The perfect amount Wouldn't it But that's the thing I thought a while ago I was gloating Because it said The happiest combination
Starting point is 00:21:55 For children was two And that they were both Two girls Oh right That was the happiest Parent combination Yeah right And I
Starting point is 00:22:02 Two boys Told everybody no That was well down the list Yeah that was well down the list. Yeah. That was well down the list because they eat everything and what they don't eat, they destroy. And then they fight. Yeah. And then they fight with the energy that they've got from all the food that they've been eating.
Starting point is 00:22:14 All the white bread and biscuits. That's like what parents feed two boys. Boys. Just the cheapest calories that are obtainable. Basically, yeah. And that's basically $1 loaves of bread. Loaves of bread, yep. And the cheapest biscuits.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And the farm-baked biscuits. Yeah. Apparently, when you have four children, you feel more supported socially, so maybe you feel safer about the future. What, because all your kids are going to support you? Well, no. If you've got four, chances are one of them's more likely to support you, I guess. Well, four of them are just all going to be losers and not going to be able to support you. Well, no. If you've got four, chances are one of them's more likely to support you, I guess.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Or four of them are just all going to be losers and not going to be able to support you. Yeah, you're going to be drained dry by four of them. Yeah, you've got to feed and, like, educating and raise four kids. That's so much money. And apparently the youngest will gain independence from a young age
Starting point is 00:23:00 because they always have the sibling buddy. Well, and, you know, the siblings do all the hard work, like the going out late and by the time they... They break all the rules. They break all the rules, so then by the time... That's such an older child thing to say. Well, we're ground breakers.
Starting point is 00:23:13 We have to do the hard yards. Yeah, right. And then you younger ones sweep in, sweep in, and you don't have to do anything. I think you'll find us middle children are the sweet balance. You're the attention seeker. Not first, but then the last one always ruins everything. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:23:29 And the first one ruins everything. And then we're in the middle just absolutely making it great. Absolutely being perfect. But then also having four children, you're running the risk of having two children with middle child syndrome. Yeah. That's a big. You basically do have two middle children. Yeah, that's a big. Four's an example that one's enough. One middle child syndrome. Yeah. That's a big. You basically do have two middle children.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah, that's a big. Vaughn's an example that one's enough. One middle child will. All right, Soundkeeper Gary's in. Good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. You've got a big pile of money there. I see this symbolic representation of $100,000 sitting in front of me,
Starting point is 00:24:08 and my face is on it. I don't, too. Not legal tender, though, is it? Gas bucks. Gas bucks. Jesus, they're actually, like, properly printed and everything. God, you know someone's going to try and use one of those at a dairy, and then we'll be in trouble.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I want nothing to do with this. Are you confirming this is not the $100,000 they would get? No, definitely not. All right, so our $100,000 secret sound, it's all thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. And this is the secret sound. Teresa, good morning all right we've heard the sound over and over again we can a bit do you think you've got an idea of you being like have you this your guess now have you been thinking
Starting point is 00:24:58 for a while this is it yeah it was just pretty much when I heard it the first time it sort of came to mind and I've just stuck with it. And then I don't think I'll change it until we get a clue. Okay. And then we'll go from there. All right. Well, all you could change your mind now if you're wrong, right? Well, you're only allowed one guess.
Starting point is 00:25:18 If I don't get it right, obviously I'm going to have to change my thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. So $51,000, Teresa, is all yours. You've just got to tell us what this secret sound is. All right. I think it's opening an ice block and taking a bite.
Starting point is 00:25:39 It'd be a very quick opening and bite, wouldn't it? Yeah. But it could be like, you could be really close and the microphone could be really close to it as well. So like, it's playing down the wrapper of like a frugia or something and then taking a bite. Frugia. You've got a new flavour.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Have you seen the new flavour? Why? What new flavour? I forget. It's a raspberry. It's got raspberry in it, I believe. Raspberry and lime. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:01 I only saw the poster walking there. Ah, you know I've got no time for a raspberry. It's beside the point. You'd be hard-pressed to go past a frugipineapple in my books. That's the worst one. The grapefruit one's good. That's got a good bit of tang in it. But I'm on the pill and I don't want to have a baby.
Starting point is 00:26:22 It's a very crackly bite, though. It is. Teresa. Yes? Scratch this sound off your list, mate. Okay. That is not the secret sound. Awesome, thank you.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Okay, thanks, Teresa. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. 2008 that Mitre 10 released the ad featuring three young fellas. In the sandpit? Yep. Talking about a job? Because it's been recreated, if you missed it. Seven Sharp did it last night.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I've got the old ad just to bring everybody up to speed. Nobody forgets this ad. Everybody knows this ad, right? Yeah. Yeah. What are you doing this weekend? I'm putting up a retaining wall. Doing it yourself?
Starting point is 00:27:08 No, I'm going to get some bloke in. Oh, come on, mate. Do it yourself. She's pretty big job. You're right. Hey, Josie! Huh? Give us a hand with the job Saturday.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Mate, you're dreaming! No surprises there. DIY. So, super cute ad. And that played for years. Do you know how long that played for? Forever. Forever.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I feel like I still see it on TV every now and then. Yeah. Like, if you asked me when that came out, I would have been like, I don't know, five years ago. Yeah, no. I probably would have gone longer. Because it was five years ago? Yeah, no. I thought it would have gone longer because it was 12 years ago. It was 2008.
Starting point is 00:27:48 12 years ago, wow. When they said that they were getting them back together yesterday, I saw photos of these three lads. I was like, oh, they look like they're in their 20s, so they must have been eight, nine when they did it. That's 16. They were four when they did it. What?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Like, every single one of them could be used in one of those hidden camera stings of a booze store where they see if they ID dudes. You're kidding me. Because I saw them and I thought the same thing. I thought, oh, they're in their 20s. They must have just looked like young eight, nine-year-olds when they did it. But no. They were actually, wow.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Yeah, they're still all at school. They're talking about how they were at school. 16 and stuff. So we've got the new ad. This was on 7 Sharp last night. They recreated it. What are you doing this weekend? I'm putting up a retaining wall.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Doing it yourself? No, I'm going to get some bloke in. Come on, mate, do it yourself. She's a pretty big job. You'll be right. Hey, Jonesy. Huh? Give her the hand with a job Saturday.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Mate, you're dreaming. Aussies. No surprises there. If you saw that ad first without the context of the old ad, it would be very confusing. It would be very weird, yeah. They acted better when they were young. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:10 Yeah. Yeah. So cute. But they've been in an ad, and they said they still get recognised by it. You're kidding. Yeah, I know they don't even look anything like they did when they were four years old. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:23 And it got us to thinking there's been hundreds of ads, thousands of ads. Yep. With thousands of people in it. Yep. And five people listen to this show. Yep. Who's been in an ad? It doesn't even have to have been a TV ad.
Starting point is 00:29:38 It could just be a print ad. What about like you work at Bunnings and they're like, we need you to be in the ad. Because I know Jesse who's on The Bachelor. Yeah. The Bachelorette. He worked at Bunnings. Remember, he was in an ad. He told us he was in an ad and they didn't pay him extra.
Starting point is 00:29:54 What did he say? Because I was a so-and-so specialist, right? Yeah. And he was just like, yeah, I love Cholibans because they're great for summer. And then everyone just takes a piss out of you for the next year because you did the ad for buddings. They're just using what they've got. You ran a stop smoking campaign ages ago.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Correct, Megan. And you know what? Smoking numbers dropped dramatically. So you're welcome. Youth using backpacks certainly didn't, did they? Backpack usage. Did you have a backpack in your backpack? Yeah, because I went
Starting point is 00:30:25 And I scooted there On my scooter And I walked in And I had a backpack on They're like Leave the backpack on Because youths wear backpacks Yeah
Starting point is 00:30:36 To school and such I was like Okay It was your hat Semi sideways Yep Semi sideways You didn't want to
Starting point is 00:30:42 Fully commit sideways They had somebody else with a hat on with glasses and they said take the hat off. I was like, nope because I hadn't shaved my head properly so I just looked weird. And so yeah, I put it a little to the side.
Starting point is 00:30:58 And then I had the address of the place where they were doing the photo shoot written on my hand in Vivid because I couldn't find a pen. And I was like, if you've got somewhere I can wash this off? And they're like, no, leave it on. It looks cool.
Starting point is 00:31:11 It's authentic. I was like, this is weird. Yeah. And then so Vaughan became that guy wearing a sideways hat with a backpack and a bit scrolling up his hand. Which might have looked a little bit like a tattoo, but it wasn't. So, mate, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:31:24 maybe you're an extra in a TV ad or you had a starring role. Whatever. Have you been in a TV ad? The Mitre 10 boys in the sandpit on the TV ad, they're all growing up now. How many years later did you say? 12 years later. 12 years later. They're all growing up.
Starting point is 00:31:39 They're only 16. Yeah. But they have, like, grown. Oh, they look like 20-something. Kids will grow up. Kids change. Between the ages like grown. Oh, they look like 20 something. Kids change. Between the ages of four and 16 they look different.
Starting point is 00:31:49 So the ad was recreated last night and we want to know, it's got us talking about TV ads and if you've ever been one, if you've had
Starting point is 00:31:54 a starring role in a TV ad, I mean, I don't want to brag but we're actually, don't forget we're in the latest Secret Sound TV ad.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I make a sheep noise. Oh yeah. What do you make? I'm not sure what that noise is. I mean, some of our finest work. Yeah. So we're getting text messages and getting calls from people who have been in TV ads. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Mia, what was your big starring role? So when I was 13 years old, I signed up to this ad agency and I was asked to be the face of Clean and Clear and I was so excited and I did it. But in the shop, my skin looks awful. It's all about having terrible skin. But I was 13 and I was just going into high school. It was the summer before high school. So they used you as the before, not the after. Well, they did both,
Starting point is 00:32:49 but it was the before that was traumatic. But so what did they do when you were the after? Did they come back when you had clear skin or did they just put heaps of makeup on?
Starting point is 00:32:58 Makeup. Oh! No way! Oh my God. So like the first one, like I've got my hair in a ready bun and, like, no make-up. And, like, I'm 13, so, like, I do have really bad skin.
Starting point is 00:33:10 And then the second one, it's, like, hair down and straightened and, like, make-up. And I'm like, oh, my God. Wow. Lifting the lid, eh? That's amazing. Mia, thanks for your call. Tommy, what was your big starring role in a TV ad?
Starting point is 00:33:26 Yeah, go ahead, guys. We were at boarding school at Auckland Grammar up in Auckland, and a whole lot of Apostle boys got asked to shoot down to North Harbour Stadium and film a Nutri-Grain ad. Oh, okay. Still on YouTube if you want to look it up. Oh, good. It was with a couple of – well, we were at Auckland Grammar,
Starting point is 00:33:43 and King's College was like our rival. Yeah. And one of the main boys in it was from King's. Right. And he was the pretty boy getting the makeup all day while we were all running around and pretending to get dirty. Playing rugby. It was good fun. Probably because you eat yucky muesli or something.
Starting point is 00:33:58 Yeah, maybe. We got free Nutri-Grain bars all day, though, so we were all pretty chuffed as hospital boys. That was your payment? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was good enough. Wow. You were just stoked to be on the TV. Yeah. No're all pretty chuffed as hospital boys. That was your payment? Oh yeah, yeah, that was good enough. Wow, you were just stoked to be on the TV. Yeah, no, we were chuffed. Yeah, no, it was a bloody good day out.
Starting point is 00:34:11 You do know, people are messaging in saying people earn thousands of dollars for doing this. Oh yeah, but Nutri-Grain bars versus money, I mean what was I going to spend it on anyway? It's good currency when you're a teenager, it's true. Thanks Tommy. Arpie, what was your big starring role in a TV ad? Hi there.
Starting point is 00:34:26 So we knew the agency that were creating a home loan ad for Kiwi Bank. Yeah. And they needed to find a dog-loving couple. And my husband and I, we've got two big dogs. And so we're like, yeah, put our hands up. We went and did it. And so the dog was actually a Bernese mountain dog that we had to work with.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Oh, cool. So we actually were, we got quite a lot of airtime actually on the ad. And we were like the couple right at the end of the ad where we get this massive Bernese mountain dog jumping on the couch and separating my husband and I and coming with us. Wow. I've always wondered if the couples in ads are real. You know like sometimes you see a couple on an ad and you're like they wouldn't be together. Yeah well in our case we actually were.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Yeah wow. There's an ad on TV at the moment where the husband and wife definitely aren't together. You're like come on what's the story here. She's too hot for her. Way too hot. What? That's so mean. Nah. He has a great personality. What's the story here? She's too hot for him. Way too hot. Come on. That's so mean.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Nah. He has a great personality. He has personality. Hey, Arfi, thanks. You called some text messages. I was in an ad for the Nissan Bluebird in 1993. Oh, okay. I was about four or five at the time.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah. I was cast. My friend was also cast. We were both gingers. The ad, two ginger kids and a dog. It made it seem like our parents forgot us. Yeah. And then the car reversed and we celebrated and we jump in.
Starting point is 00:35:55 It's like, yay, they didn't forget us. We're gingers and we get to go home in a Nissan Bluebird. I think I remember that ad. Really? Yeah. Do you think that the parents took them off to Nan and Pops and then used the ad money to go to Fiji for a holiday without the kids? Well, you can't take a ginger to Fiji.
Starting point is 00:36:09 They'll burn very easily. What was the point of the reversing? Was it like, this is Bluebird now with reverse. Like, what was the... Yeah, they were actually one of the latest car models to get a reverse feature. Here at Nissen, we don't believe in reverse. We go forward only. No point looking back.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Somebody, I was in an ASB ad eight years ago. Oh, okay. Great Money as one of the main characters. Yeah. Thought this is me.
Starting point is 00:36:38 This is the start of my acting career. Followed up with an audition for a McDonald's ad was declined. Yeah. And then a diamond company declined again, and my fragile ego couldn't take any more.
Starting point is 00:36:49 You couldn't take the rejections. You're out of the game. Dip out. I was in an ad for Night and Day. And one day I was in the uni library, and someone said, hey, you're off the Night and Day ad. That was weird. Somebody else was in that No More Beersies ad.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Oh, okay. It was one of the chicks being piggybacked up K Road. Yeah. It took three takes. It was heaps of laughs and then they paid us money. I was like,
Starting point is 00:37:13 this is awesome. Easy. A drunken piggyback on K Road. Yeah. Easy. Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:37:21 ZM. Now, Megan, Vaughan and I have something for you that we saw online. So we're not claiming this is our idea, but we just thought this could help you and other people with their online shopping. Okay. Now, how much online shopping have you been doing lately?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Have you been good? I have actually been good lately. Yeah, no. The courier was stopping across the road yesterday, and I was like, is he going to come here? Have I bought anything? No. No, he's driven past.
Starting point is 00:37:51 We're all good. Where are you going? Yeah. No, I don't think I have. Not here. Okay. I don't think I've had any delicious in the past five days. How many pairs of shoes do you think you own?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Do you know what? I just sold five in a garage sale over the weekend. You had a garage sale? Yeah. You didn't tell us. We were a big community garage sale. Oh, right. Okay, so everyone pulls together.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Yeah. But then do you have to put your stickers on your stuff and then wait for people to buy your stuff or do you leave it? No, you do it at your own house and everyone just goes around the whole neighbourhood. Oh. Isn't that a bit legendary?
Starting point is 00:38:22 Yeah, it is. Yeah. Our community's quite well known for this. It happens the same time every year. Right. And so you sold five people. I did. What else did you sell?
Starting point is 00:38:31 Anything else? A few clothes. So was it all your stuff or any of Mr. Toyboy's? No, no, just lots of stuff. Lots of stuff. Right. So all yours. Like clothes that you didn't really need to buy in the first place.
Starting point is 00:38:43 How many of them still had labels on? One. One. Well, anyway, this particular shopping, it's a shopping tool and it helps you buy shoes. Because what's the biggest problem when you see a pair of shoes online? I want them. You're like, what would they look like on me? Like, do you think that?
Starting point is 00:39:04 Yeah. Where are you going with this? Just reaching into my pocket. Oh my God. For a mini Megan cutout, laminated, with no shoes on. No feet, in fact. The feet have been cut off.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I thought you meant helping me as in like curbing it. No, this is not helping me buy them. No, we've given up on that. So basically what you do is go to a shoe shopping website. This is actually pretty legit. This is actually pretty legit. Also, that's just one outfit.
Starting point is 00:39:36 You could make yourself more of a paper doll situation and have outfits available. Because if like you're trying to find a shoe for a particular outfit, like a dress or whatever, which I often do. Dress up in the outfit, take a photo, print it out as a little, like maybe, what would that be? Four or five inches high? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:53 And then hold it up to the screen, the shoe shopping screen. Like, what are you on there? You're on ASOS. Iconic. Iconic. Actually. And so, see what I mean? Oh, those look cute. Oh my god. It's so good. And so, see what I mean? Oh, those look cute. I'm like. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:40:07 It's so good. And there's also the option of just having your head on a popsicle stick. And getting the outfit and then lowering your head in to cover the. Right. Yeah, the model. See? Those. You were laughing, weren't you? I want all of these shoes now.
Starting point is 00:40:22 This is such a great idea. This is mini Megan. So, you print yourself out. And I mean, if you've got the office laminator like we do. It will last a long time. It will last a long time. It will last an extra long time. I'm so on board with this.
Starting point is 00:40:34 I thought you were going to like try and stop me. No, absolutely not. You mean help me as in like help me buy shoes? Actually help you, yeah. Okay, great. So if you're making one at home, of course, you just chop your feet off in the actual photo. Yeah. And then yeah, just hold that above the shoes and it
Starting point is 00:40:47 looks like you're wearing the shoes from the website. It's very hard to describe on air but yeah, it does look really, really good. I think you've done a great job of describing it. You just said print a picture off of yourself and cut the feet off. That's pretty what you've done there. That's a great description. It's just when you see it
Starting point is 00:41:03 in action though, it's quite amazing because it does look like you're wearing those shoes. It does. We'll get a video online. Do you have to zoom out of the shoes? What if it's like a big picture of a shoe? You can just zoom in your screen, yeah, or zoom out. Yeah, okay, control it that way.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Zoom in or out, yeah, just to make the shoes fit your feet. Oh, those don't look any good. But see, you might not have known that because you didn't have mini Megan. This is so great. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The most popular wedding destinations around the world have been released. These are cities.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Now, you've been invited to a wedding this year in France. France, in France, the south of France. And they're from New Zealand. Yeah, well, French family, yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:55 and they were like, whoever can go. Yeah, but I mean, that's why you have a destination wedding though, so you hope most people can't. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:42:01 you want to cut the numbers, don't you? Keep your numbers down. But then sometimes they guilt you and it's like, well want to cut the numbers, don't you? Cut your numbers down. But then sometimes they guilt you. And it's like, well, have it at a reserve here. Reserve? A reserve or a park.
Starting point is 00:42:10 A reserve at a Department of Conservation reserve or a Stat Highway 1 rest area. And then I'll come. Or a duck pond. Yeah, when it's in Fiji, Rarotonga. But it's good when they, like, pay for accommodation. Because, like... Oh, I don't know anyone that's done that. Who's paid for accommodation? Oh. Are you getting free accommodation if you're saying in a chateau
Starting point is 00:42:30 megan that's just what they call houses over there no it's not yes it is it's uh it looks like a um castle yeah but you always say on buzzfeed those are like seven bucks. Yeah. It's like, in 25 castles you can live in in France, it's seven bucks. It's like, all right, BuzzFeed, calm down. I'm sure there's a lot of associated costs. Yeah, I'm sure there's taxes. Yes. Monstrous power bills.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Yeah. Staffing issues. Crumbling masonry. Well, I don't think this list is quite exotic. Okay. Because I think if we did one for New Zealand, it would be like a bit more like Raro, Fiji. Yep.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Maybe a lot of the islands, yeah. Te Kuiti. Te Kuiti is a thriving wedding destination, Vaughan. Beautiful spot. You just don't know. Beautiful spot. Get the wedding photo by the big shares that look like a C&B. Yep.

Starting point is 00:43:46 The Lorre Valley in France. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've heard of that. The Lorre. I mean, you could be going there and staying in your house. In France. In my chateau. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:43:57 Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. I mean, if you don't want to get mugged, sure. Yeah, what an interesting place for a wedding. Oh, it's beautiful, but there's a very high mugging rate there, but, you know, it's still a beautiful place. Try to chase someone down for your purse when you're in your wedding dress. I feel like they wouldn't mug you if it was your wedding day. Because anyone, you're not carrying anything.
Starting point is 00:44:18 If you're wearing a bride's... Right, everybody else is carrying it for you. You mug the bridesmaid because they carry all the bride's stuff. They've got everything, yeah. Brisbane? Made the list? Whatever. Really?
Starting point is 00:44:31 Yeah. Oh, but you know what? The Goldie. Yeah, but they would say Gold Coast, wouldn't they? They wouldn't say Brisbane. Can you get married at Murphy World? Or the Corumban Wildlife Sanctuary? You could.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Which is a great way to spend a day But I don't know about a wedding There'd be people that do their honeymoons there But I wouldn't imagine here Maybe they just do both Australia actually features three times on this list Perth is next Okay I've never been to Perth
Starting point is 00:44:57 So I don't know It's beautiful But it's very Yeah it's not I wouldn't say it's a wedding destination They'd ride up your alley If you wanted your wedding reception crashed by a bunch of drunken Kiwis with more money than sense.
Starting point is 00:45:08 This is true. With a few days off from the mines. Yeah. Mallorca? Okay. You don't say the JA. No. Sydney is number two and then Vegas is number one.
Starting point is 00:45:21 For exotic wedding destinations. Yes. Yeah. Well, a lot of people would just do the wedding in Vegas, wouldn't they? Yeah, the quick wedding. Do the whole lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Get it out of the way. Just have a party back home. Yeah. So are you going to do this France wedding? I think so. Who's going to run the cafe? Don't know yet. Vaughn and I can do it.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Shit, no. I'll burn it down. Absolutely not. Well, no, you've said it now, so we won't get insurance. Or no, you'll just go to jail for arson. I was just joking. I'm not going to do it again. I'll burn it down.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Okay. I think that's still... You'll get your insurance money. Okay. Valentine's Day is Friday. We thought we'd help you out and ask what everyone is into in terms of presents for Valentine's Day. Yeah, ran some polls on our Instagram over the last 24 hours. Yes.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Some of these quite surprised me, actually. Really? Yeah. Because I would agree with the results of most of these. What surprised you? May or... Maybe one... Yeah, run through them.
Starting point is 00:46:24 I'll run through them here. Okay. surprised you? May or... Maybe one... Yeah, run through them. I'll run through them. Yeah, okay. So the first one was, is it cringe for a boyfriend to gift sexy lingerie? Don't do that voice. No, I don't think I want to know actually. I don't want to know.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Early on. You got... By then it just... Sade some sexy knickers? Yeah, but then it just didn't... See, I think it's more of a risky game early on. I reckon that's like husband territory.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Right. It's where they know you've been with them for a while. What did the poll say? 57% said it was cringe. 43% were like, I'd like it. I think that was the one I was like, maybe I thought that would have been more. And also, I think it depends on the partner. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Because like either they are kind of good at guessing that thing or you know it's going to be bad. Yeah. Then you have to pretend to like it and they probably spent lots on it. Yeah. Heart-shaped jewellery. I knew that. No, I knew that wasn't going to be a big.
Starting point is 00:47:20 88% said no. Cringe. Yeah. Okay. And, oh, I've got to imagine if a guy out there is listening now and he's already got the heart-shaped jewelry. Take it back. Please.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Get a refund. I'm so sorry to be the one to tell you this, but. Yeah. Unless your girlfriend's in that 20% of. 12%. 12%. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Even less. Right. Okay. How much would you spend on a Valentine's Day present? The average is $50. Around $50. Right, okay. Is what people say is okay.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Okay. Is that to spend or be spent on? Either way. Yeah. Don't do... Do you know what you're doing, Vaughan? Nothing. Nothing?
Starting point is 00:47:58 Because she got the kitchen. You still going with that? Yeah. She got the kitchen, Reno? Yeah. How long are you dining out on that for? Her birthday too? For a long time.
Starting point is 00:48:06 No, because Shardé's birthday's a day after Valentine's Day. We've agreed that. Oh, so just do the joint. Just some pleasantries on Friday. Some pleasantries. And then Saturday we'll have a meal. Okay. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:20 A meal. Okay. Like a nice meal. Oh, yeah. Like a meal out somewhere. We'll eat a meal on Friday as well. A food court? No, it'll be a nice meal.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Oh, that's nice of you. Okay. Cool. Yeah, nice. Chocolate or flowers? Chocolate? I would always go flowers, but I'm in the minority. Well, only just.
Starting point is 00:48:39 52% would prefer chocolate. We've got some flowers. I've got some flowers just for no reason at all. Okay. The start of last week. They didn't last long in this heat. No, that's the problem.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I got Sade flowers. Oh, see, no, because you look guilty when you buy flowers. What did you do? No, she thought I got them free from work. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:59 So you can't win. She's like, oh, why did these, who sent these to work? I was like, nobody. I actually, I did actually purchase them. Did you have the receipt to prove it? I had the, yeah, why did these, who sent these to work? I was like, nobody. I actually, I did actually purchase them. Did you have the receipt to prove it?
Starting point is 00:49:06 I had the, yeah, but then you don't want to be waving that around. Because it kind of kills the moment. She doesn't know I'm banking. What was your motivation? I was just driving home. And you saw them. Very out of character. No, but it looks weird.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I went a little out of my way. It's very, it's not, yeah, it looks dodgy. Even I'm like, what have you done? No, I hadn't done anything. Yeah. Apart from buy flowers. Okay. But then they, this heat.
Starting point is 00:49:30 They didn't like the heat. Hang on, did you buy a power tool or something? No. Huh. No, it was an absolute guilt-free purchase. Is this a forward plan? Remember that time I got your flowers? No, it's because she cheated on you in your dream.
Starting point is 00:49:44 It was before that. Was it? Okay. Still, we're watching you. We need to get to the bottom of this. We're watching you. Yeah, that's the only thing about getting someone roses too, especially. They die so quickly.
Starting point is 00:49:55 And they're super expensive at Valentine's. Yeah. Do you feel obligated to have sexy times on Valentine's Day? Right. That's a good question. Because this is the romantic day because this is the romantic day. The romantic day. 54% said not really.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Not really. But it's on a Friday. Yeah, that's true. Is that one of your, hey, we should, you know, there's no work tomorrow. Well, if I'm in bed two minutes unattended, I'll be asleep. Yeah, hey, we should, you know, there's no work tomorrow. Well, if I'm in bed two minutes, yep, unattended, I'll be asleep. Yeah, right, okay. So that's why she lets you go to bed first.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Yeah, yeah, she's like, you pop off to bed, I'll be there soon. All thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. Soundkeeper Gary is in. $51,000 is our current jackpot. Still thinking about what I would do if I had that kind of money. $51,000. Would you invest in your bees? I've got enough of the bees.
Starting point is 00:51:00 The bees are going fine. I think I would go down the e-bike route and go with an electric vehicle. Someone rode past me on an e-bike yesterday when I was out cycling for fitness. This guy was going so fast on the bike. He went past me so fast. I just couldn't believe it. Did he turn around and go, I gave him this look like,
Starting point is 00:51:25 well, you're not actually doing anything. So what's the point? No, but he can assist the electric. He may as well have a scooter. Anything you want to say to that, Saskia? Studies have shown that e-bike exercise is 80% of a normal bike ride. 80?
Starting point is 00:51:41 No. 80%? No way. Do you use Map My Ride? Yeah. Yep, have a look. But you're not turning your legs to power. So Map My Ride, is there a different setting for e-bikes?
Starting point is 00:51:52 There is. You can go, I was on an e-bike. There is. Studies have shown. I'm not going to tell you what study, but studies have shown. Some study you've made up in your head, Gary. All right, well, you'd spend it on e-bikes. Carolyn, good morning.
Starting point is 00:52:03 What would you spend $51,000 on? The kids are talking about going to Disneyland. Oh. Oh, yeah. It's the happiest place on earth. But then secretly, you could just give them to the grandparents and go to, like, Bali or something.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Yeah, of course, yeah. I don't imagine you could do Disneyland and Bali. Bora Bora or the Maldives, even. Ooh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that would be nice. Well, Carolyn, this is the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:52:33 For a trip to Disneyland and all that cash, what do you think the secret sound is? Originally, we thought it was cracking an egg, but that's already been taken. It is.
Starting point is 00:52:43 We thought maybe it's opening an egg, but that's already been taken. So we thought maybe it's opening an ice cream container. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Because then that's kind of like a peeling back sound.
Starting point is 00:52:57 It is, yeah. You peel back the lid and it makes like a creaky like... Have you already taken that little safety tab off? Yes. Yes, okay, right. So it's already previously been scooped? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Maybe it's over that crusty bits, the icicles. Yeah, maybe someone's already scooped all the gummy lollies out of the goody-goody gumdrops. Yeah. That's a good guess. Sounds good to me. Mm. Caroline. That is not the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Harsh. All right, Caroline. Well, rainbow's in for you. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Well, back by popular demand, after two episodes, I bet I can guess your mum's name. Vaughn Smith asks five questions and then has 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. And if he can do that, you win $100 cash.
Starting point is 00:54:01 There is a bonus round if he does that, where he has one guess at your dad's name for another $100. Controversy. There was some controversy surrounding last week. I was accused of cheating. I don't know how I would cheat. Because you have guessed the mum's name both weeks, people are saying
Starting point is 00:54:20 well, is this set up? Somebody said that I would have time to do Facebook research? No. On our caller? No, there's not the time. I've shut my laptop entirely. You've shut your laptop.
Starting point is 00:54:31 Blank paper. I'll be sketching. I'll be writing names down as I ask questions. Right, okay. But you don't have, like, a list of old mums' names. Well, we've all got a list of old mums' names. Yes, that's true. All of our mums' friends and stuff.
Starting point is 00:54:44 True. Okay, well, playing this morning, we welcome to the a list of old mums' names. Yes, that's true. From all of our mums' friends and stuff. Yeah, true. Okay, well, playing this morning, we welcome to the show Michaela. Good morning. Good morning. All right, so five questions for Michaela. Question one, how does mum like her coffee, Michaela? She's more of a tea drinker. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:03 That says a lot. That says a lot, yeah. That tells me a lot. Okay. Tells me a lot about mum. Does it? My English background, maybe. Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:55:11 True, yeah. What was mum's last overseas trip? CG, actually. Oh, I thought you were going to say Noosa. Has she been to Noosa? No, I don't think she has. Okay, yeah, all right. That's probably another clue, actually. Vaughan's just jotting down some... going to say Nusa. Has she been to Nusa? No, I don't think she has. That's probably another clue, actually.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Vaughan's just jotting down some... I mean, like, a detective over here. I'm just imagining the sort of name that would be said across the pool in Fiji. Like, Dad would be like, Babs, do you want another Mai Tai? That sort of thing. Yeah. Like, what goes well across the pool in Fiji.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Right, okay. Guys, how many questions have I asked? Two. of thing. Yeah. Like what goes well across the board. Right, okay. Guys, how many questions have I asked? Two. Two, that's two. So you've got three questions. What are your siblings' names, Michaela? Like what are your brothers and sisters called? Liana and Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:55:56 See, I would have asked her mum's siblings. He's still got more questions. I asked that last time. I like to change it up. You like to change it up. You like to change it up. Spice it up. Okay. What kind of car does your mum drive?
Starting point is 00:56:10 A Ford Focus. Oh, that's a mum car, isn't it? A Ford Focus. It's a reliable mum car. Doesn't your mum have one of those? No, my nan does. Your nan does. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:21 I feel like, I'm not asking the question, Michaela, but I feel like the colour of the car would be like a good question for the future, Borden. A question to ask for the future. Like, do you think colour matters for Michaela's mum? I don't know if it does. I don't know if it gives you a shush into their personality. Yeah, okay. Well, what do you think about my mum?
Starting point is 00:56:41 She's got the green Mazda. What do you think about that? She suits it. Yeah, she does suit it. She's a go-getter. It's a jazzy colour for a go-getter, a move or a shake or a rocker or a roller. Bev, what do you say every time you see a Mazda 2?
Starting point is 00:56:54 She won't sit still. No, she won't. No, she won't. She's a go-getter. I mean, it's the same fuel efficiency to go all day. Green means go. It's the same colour as Kermit the Frog. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:57:04 How many more questions have you got? One more question, Vaughn. I've only got one more question. Yeah. I believe so. Are you and mum and dad still married? Yes. I feel like that won't help at all.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I feel like dad's not going to help at all. Why wouldn't that help at all? That's a big... Really? That's a big clue. Okay. I'm going to put that in there for good luck. That's been in there before. All right, Vaughan Smith.
Starting point is 00:57:31 You have 15 seconds to guess Michaela's mum's name. Now, Michaela, if Vaughan says at all during that 15 seconds your mum's name, please yell out stop. Okay. Or mum. Mum or stop. Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! Mummy! Please yell out stop. Okay. Or mum. Mum or stop? Mummy. Mummy.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Mummy. Okay, yell out mummy if Vaughan says your mum's name. Vaughan Smith, you have 15 seconds. Wendy, Mary, Susan, Fiona, Linda, Donna, Sandra, Leanne, Christine, Gay, Debra, Robin, Nicole, Nicola, Kim, Tracy, Tanya, Joanne, Jenny, Karen, Evelyn, Wendy. Oh! You said her sister's name, but not her name. Oh, what was her sister's name?
Starting point is 00:58:19 Joanne. Joanne. I feel like you're in the wrong vintage. You think I went a little too old? Yeah, I do. You think her mum's a bit younger? Yeah. How old's your mum?
Starting point is 00:58:28 See, you could have asked how old her mum is. How old's your mum? She's 49. Yeah, see? You went too old. You think I went too old? I can imagine a 49-year-old Tanya. No.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Maybe a 40-year-old Tanya. Okay, I guess we'll never know what your mum's name is. Oh, do we not get to play? No, we don't get to know if I don't guess. We can't not know. I'm going to tell the name because I think people playing along at home would like to know. Helen. Michaela, would you like to tell us?
Starting point is 00:58:57 Sure. Bronwyn. Bronwyn. Bronny. Bronwyn. It's Bronny and Bruce. It's her dad's name's Bruce. Bron. It's Bronny and Bruce. It's her dad's name's Bruce. Bruce.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Bronny and Bruce. Oh, the double B. It's Bronny and Bruce. Well, Michaela, you don't win any money. Oh, bummer. Oh. Sorry about that. Michaela, daughter of Bronwyn.
Starting point is 00:59:19 And Bruce. Son of Bruce. No, that doesn't work. Daughter of Bruce. Daughter of Bruce. Yeah, that's right. That has to stay consistent. All right, well, I mean, it wasn't a raging success this week,? No, that doesn't work. Daughter of Bruce. Daughter of Bruce. Yeah, that's right. They have to stay consistent. All right, well, I mean, it wasn't a raging success this week,
Starting point is 00:59:28 but I think that was still fun. Mm. And we should bring it back next week. No, we never do it again now. No. Back again. Now that you've failed. Because you're lost in your soul games.
Starting point is 00:59:37 It's no use continuing once you're losing something. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Not that I want people to, like like break up before Valentine's Day But It was only a couple of days away But relationship expert Tracy Tracy Cox Okay just Tracy
Starting point is 00:59:54 Tracy I imagine in business card Trace Trace to her friends Relationship expert Trace She has revealed red flags that your partner is still hung up on their ex. Some of these sound very familiar.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Not for me, not for me, just other people. You said that and I was like, oh, okay. No, no, no, no, other people that I know. If your partner says that they weren't expecting the breakup, they weren't expecting it, that can be a bit of a red flag that they are still emotionally tied to the situation.
Starting point is 01:00:30 You mean they weren't expecting their last breakup? Yeah. Right. They weren't expecting their partner to break up with them. Because then it's a shock and there's obviously still residual feelings. Yeah, right. And they didn't get the closure. They didn't get the closure, yeah. That is a little bit of a red flag.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Okay. That doesn't necessarily mean that they're still hung up on them, though, but I guess that's something to look out for. If they're still living together. Obviously. What, you're with someone who's still living with the ex? Who would be doing that? Surely that doesn't happen.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Well, unless they had a house together. Like doing that? Surely that doesn't happen. Well, unless they had a house together. Like, that could actually be a legitimate thing. Yeah, but you'd move out, wouldn't you? Well, you would want to, but then
Starting point is 01:01:13 you might have half a mortgage with them. So it might just be easier to live with them. I mean, as horrible as that would be. I just would not
Starting point is 01:01:22 get involved if that was the case. Yeah. Probably a good idea to avoid getting into another, like, intense relationship when you're still living with them and trying to sort out that situation, though. Another red flag that your partner still hug up on their ex, it's like they never left.
Starting point is 01:01:40 So you can see evidence of them everywhere. Oh, okay. Photos and... Right, mementos. My now mother-in-law had a picture of my husband's ex on the wall for ages. It was like the two of them. What?
Starting point is 01:01:55 Cuddling in a photo. It wasn't a good photo of him and that's why she had it up. It was at his sister's wedding. You should have put a sticker over it. But it was just the two of them. I was like, can we maybe take that down now? I don't need her looking at me with that smug look on her face the whole time. Get it off the wall, please.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Was she hot? Yeah, she was hot. Real hot? Pretty hot. Okay, yeah, good. Okay, so you take it down. But I don't think that's why his mum kept it on the wall, because she was hot. Oh, yeah, true.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Yeah. But I was like, is she still hung up on the ex? Does she think she's better? Maybe she liked her. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah. And I was like, is she still hung up on the ex? Does she think she's beat it? Maybe she liked her. Yeah, maybe. Ouch. It's gone now. How long ago did it go?
Starting point is 01:02:33 A few years. Okay, that's okay. It's been a few years. I bet she said she's still got it in her drawer. Or like, did you make her shred it? Did she keep the frame? Did she keep the frame it was in? Like, is there something else
Starting point is 01:02:45 in that frame? Is there a photo of you and him in that frame now and him and her are still behind you? Okay well she wouldn't throw out a frame so where's that frame gone? I don't know. The photo is still there somewhere else in the garage maybe where you don't go in their bedroom. She just goes to look at it every now and then. Gets it out. You're on sweet and she wakes up and she's like
Starting point is 01:03:02 good morning sweetheart. If they talk about them constantly This is a red flag That your partner's Still hung up on their ex Yeah I feel like that's a given I read somewhere
Starting point is 01:03:12 That if you Even if they talk about them negatively If they're constantly bringing up A name of someone Anyone They're constantly talking about them Yeah Not a good sign
Starting point is 01:03:22 Not a good sign And they're still really good friends. See, I would have thought that that's maturity. Yeah. You know, for a serious relationship.
Starting point is 01:03:31 If you're with someone for so long. Yeah. And then if there's children involved. Yeah, but also if you split up and it's amicable. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:38 Like, you can still be friends with people. But this goes on to say that being friends is one thing, but if the partner calls or the ex calls up and asks if they can help them with something and then they drop everything and rush over and go to help them,
Starting point is 01:03:52 that's not necessarily a good sign. Anyway, happy Valentine's Day. I mean, I hope that hasn't got anyone in trouble. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. It's time for Fact of the Day, day, day,. ZM. It's time for... Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the Day is about bubblegum flavour. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Just the flavour known as bubblegum because I... My favourite jelly bean flavour. Bubblegum. The Oh, yeah. Just the flavour known as bubblegum. My favourite jelly bean flavour. Bubblegum. The blue one. Yeah. It's also the flavour of the ice cream and goody gumdrops. Yeah, which is why I love that as well because that's my favourite ice cream. Bubblegum flavoured ice cream. Well, bubblegum flavouring, I can tell you what's used to produce the flavour.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Oh, is this going to ruin it for me? Is it gross? Well, I can tell you the artificial. It's the flavour. Oh, is this going to ruin it for me? Is it gross? Well, I can tell you the artificial... It's not beaver glands, is it? Flavour, and then I can tell you the natural... Okay. The artificial flavouring's called esters. You mixed a little bit of methyl
Starting point is 01:04:57 cisophlate. Okay, yeah. A little pinch of ethyl butyrate. Yeah, all the food scientists right now are like, this is great. Benzylacetate, teaspoon of benzylacetate. Oh, yeah, okay. A little shake of amylacetate. Not amyl nitrate.
Starting point is 01:05:14 That'll... Not amyl nitrate. What's that? Sure change bubbled up. What's amyl nitrate? Somebody Google on your own time, kids. You leave it cleans your couch, Megan. You leave it cleans your couch, Megan. You leave it cleans your couch, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Cinnamic aldehyde. Okay. But if you want to go natural bubblegum flavour, it's a combination of banana, pineapple, cinnamon, cloves, and the mintiness of wintergreen. I wonder if you could just pump a taste of Listerine in. Peppermint Listerine. Instead of what?
Starting point is 01:05:44 Or Plax. Instead of what? Or Plax. Instead of what? The wintergreen. Yeah. Is that where you get the slightly minty? Yeah, right. No, because it's not like the full-blown flavour of Plax. I found my pink Plax.
Starting point is 01:05:59 Oh, you love the pink Plax, don't you? Tell me your thoughts on this. Green tea Plax. I like that. I like Plax. Plax is a i like plaques because i had this argument with friends uh like a few months ago they were like we always get listerine and that burns my mouth it's a lot like i can't swirl it around for like whereas the plaques is a lot more placid and it says on the back do not drink water down oh Oh, no, but they just say that because... What's the flash word they use for water?
Starting point is 01:06:25 Dilute. Dilute. They just say that because then it makes it go further and they don't get their money's worth. Exactly. But I don't feel like it's cleaning my mouth unless it's like on fire. But the dentists water it down, don't they? They have a different thing.
Starting point is 01:06:39 You're talking about the little mouthwash on the side? Yeah. That's different. No, it's watered down Listerine. That's a different... No, that's a different product. No, it's not. It's a different product. It tastes different. I don't think the's watered down Listerine. That's a different, no, that's a different product. No, it's not. It's a different product.
Starting point is 01:06:46 It tastes different. I don't think the dentist is watering down Listerine. They are. They're tight arses. The other day, I went into Cracker Jack. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I love Cracker Jack. I have been there, yeah. And when I was in there, I was looking for something else, but I saw they had my pink plaques. Yeah. Yeah. The pink plaques.
Starting point is 01:07:00 What flavour is that? Bubble gum? I can't even remember the flavour of it. Nah, it's not bubble gum. Well, that's counterproductive. Cleaning your teeth and then mouthwash it with bubble gum. So I came out with five bottles because they're the little bottles. And Sade said, what have you got there?
Starting point is 01:07:14 You turn me on when you talk about bulk buying because you know I love a bulk buy. No, I'm right here. Do it in your own time. Cracker Jack's the place to go. But they were small bottles, not big bottles. Oh, yeah. And she said, what have you got there? And I said, that mouthwash I like.
Starting point is 01:07:25 And she's like, you don't buy mouthwash from Cracker Jack. And then she got real snobby about where it's okay and not okay to buy mouthwash. It's the same mouthwash. And she said, no, it's parallel imported. And I was like, yeah, but it literally says Australia on it. Let's get fine. And she's like, no, that's a supermarket or a pharmacy purchase. No, it's not a pharmacy purchase.
Starting point is 01:07:47 It's too expensive at a pharmacy. Well, there's got to be one of those big chemist's warehouses next door. She said, you should have gone there.
Starting point is 01:07:52 I said, I can't guarantee they're going to have my plaques. Yeah. And you got your, she's just been a snob, a mouthwash snob. And then we started listing things
Starting point is 01:07:59 that you could buy from Cracker Jacks. Yeah, right. She wouldn't need cereal from there. Yeah, it's yum. It's yum. It's the same. Exactly the same. Yeah. Oh, she's just, you shouldn't have told her, right. She wouldn't eat cereal from there. It's yum. It's yum. It's the same.
Starting point is 01:08:06 Exactly the same. Yeah. Oh, she's just, you shouldn't have told her, mate. It's all up here in the head. 100% of it. That's why people can't do home brand stuff. The other day,
Starting point is 01:08:13 I made her a cup of coffee with milk and it went off 10 days before. Oh, 10 days. It was its best before. She couldn't taste the difference. Did they have chunks
Starting point is 01:08:21 at the top? I said, how was that milk? Oh, you didn't tell her. It was green top milk. Oh, yeah, green top milk. That lasts forever. I said, how was that milk? Oh, you didn't tell her. It was green top milk. Oh, your green top milk. That lasts forever. I said, how was that?
Starting point is 01:08:27 Because it's watered down. The dentists do it. They get into the milk factory and water it down. Dentists are watering everything down. I know. So I said, how was that coffee? She said it was fine, and then I didn't say any more. But she's in the car now, so.
Starting point is 01:08:40 She knows. She knows. It was a little bit old, but you were fine, see? And you were absolutely fine Anyway what was fact of the day It was how to make Bubblegum flavour Oh that's right
Starting point is 01:08:48 Or the combination Of existing flavours That were put together To make bubblegum flavour I can tell you again today It's fact of the day A natural bubblegum flavour Can be made by
Starting point is 01:08:57 Combining banana Banana Banana Banana Pineapple Cinnamon Cloves And wintergreen
Starting point is 01:09:04 Fact of the day Day Day Day Day Banana. Banana. Pineapple, cinnamon, cloves and wintergreen. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A UK man sparked this controversy online, but it's not, you know, really like in the scam and things like controversies or controversies online are bad, real bad. This one's just kind of an interesting talk point. Yeah. But some people are very fired up about it. He said you shouldn't be eating the batter when you get fish and chips because it's only
Starting point is 01:09:44 there to protect the fish during frying. You peel it off and throw away and then you eat the fish, not the batter. The batter's the best bit. It's not a salt crust because that's what you put around meat to protect it. Yeah. But you don't eat it because it's not pleasant at all. A salt crust is a drying, using the drying process, right? It like draws the moisture out and seals it in.
Starting point is 01:10:07 But yeah, you take off that. No. Yeah. Because isn't that how like meat pies and beef wellingtons and stuff were actually created? They used to put like the crust around it was actually to protect the meat. And then people were like, yeah, we could actually eat this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's quite delicious.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Maybe not after a week of protecting the pie. Yeah. No, that would be could actually eat this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's quite delicious. Maybe not after a week of protecting the body. Yeah. No, that would be a little bit much. Yeah. But my kids do this except the other way around. They'll get fish and chips and then just pick the batter off and eat that and then be like, oh, I'm full. And I'll be like, you're not full.
Starting point is 01:10:36 No. You're not full until you've eaten that fish. But fish is real expensive. I know. That's why they don't get it anymore. Right. They get a sausage. Or they just do crab sticks for them. If they're not going to eat the meat. They're why they don't get it anymore. Right. They get a sausage. Or they just do cramp sticks for them.
Starting point is 01:10:46 If they're not going to eat the meat. They're not going to eat a cramp stick. No, you get potato fritters. Potato fritters are legit because you get potato fritters and chips, and it's just a chip in a different shape. Yeah, it is. But it's been battered as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:00 So it's just like an expressway. It's like a bus lane to a heart problem. Like no one else is in that line, baby, and you're getting there super quick. But people aren't quite divided by this online. Like a lot of people do this. Yeah. Weird.
Starting point is 01:11:14 God, us the talking just hear about like the wrong way of eating things. For example, I hate seeing someone pick a muffin to pieces. Oh, hell. Like when someone like has a muffin and they. What the hell? Like when someone has a muffin and they fold down its paper barrier and then pick at it. What are you supposed to do?
Starting point is 01:11:31 Just shove it in your mouth? Take bites of it? No, you don't take a bite of a bit of it. You take a big chunk of it and bite it. You don't bird it. You don't bird it.
Starting point is 01:11:39 You're not a sparrow. Put it in your mouth. Or you cut it up with a knife and then you... And then you eat the smaller bits. Yeah, but I'm talking about sparrow. I'm talking about picking at it. Put it in your mouth. Or you cut it up with a knife and then you... And then you eat the smaller bits. Yeah, but I'm talking about sparrow. I'm talking about pecking at it.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Don't peck at it. Oh, see, I don't mind pecking at a mouse. I love pecking at it too. What about a cupcake? You rip it in half and then you flip it upside down and make it an icing sandwich. Yeah. Is that allowed?
Starting point is 01:11:57 That is a legit way to eat a cupcake. Okay, what about this? I know this is sometimes frowned upon, but if I get a crunchy bar sometimes and treat myself, I ate all the chocolate around the sides. You'll pick off the chocolate. Can you try and bite the top so if you get it just right, that whole line of chocolate will come off in one.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Yeah, or you get half of that whole line of chocolate. Yeah. That's why when I always get a crunchy bar at the service station or supermarket, I'll just give it a little wiggle to see it's not broken. Otherwise, it ruins the whole thing because I tried to do the whole thing without breaking it. My mate's dad, once we were talking about that, and he's like, he heated up a wire.
Starting point is 01:12:32 Yeah. And then sliced off the chocolate with a hot wire. But that's cheating. It was pretty cool to see at the time. Because the wire was so hot, it kind of melted the hokey pokey bit. Yeah. And it made it look like its own bar. You could probably get one of those from Spotlight
Starting point is 01:12:47 because that's how you cut polystyrene. A hot wire. A hot wire. Yeah, same situation. Okay. Well, you just. That would be so young, hot, like a bit gooey. Have you ever seen someone open a Kit Kat.
Starting point is 01:12:57 We don't need to discuss people who do that. They are inhuman. And bite long ways. So they bite across all four rows. No one's doing that. No people do. Unless they're doing bite across all four rows. No one's doing that. No, people do. Unless they're doing it to wind someone up. No one's just doing that when they bite themselves.
Starting point is 01:13:09 I've seen someone do it. Or a person that eats a taco from the top. Oh, no one's doing that. What? No one's eating a taco from the top. Because you're just getting the topping. Because then all your mints. I've seen people eat a taco from the top.
Starting point is 01:13:20 Because you love your mints tacos. Not people that I eat with. Yeah, right. Well, I've been in a Mexican restaurant with the tacos and someone's gone top taco, gone down on the top of the top. Because you love your mince tacos. Not people that I eat with. Yeah, right. Well, I've been in a Mexican restaurant with the tacos and someone's gone top taco, gone down on the top of the taco.
Starting point is 01:13:28 Put the taco in the palm of your hand and pop in with your finger and make a tuck and then you hold that end and then you force the other end in the mouth.
Starting point is 01:13:37 You can't do that with a crispy taco. No, you can't. That's why you don't use crispy tacos. I wouldn't make those hand gestures in public to be honest.
Starting point is 01:13:42 It looks like you're doing something. I'm missing the taco. I'm missing that. I'm saving public, to be honest. It looks like you're doing something. Oh, I'm missing the taco. I'm missing that. I'm having a bit of a laugh. Right. Okay, let's take some calls. Dear Vaughan, we're not going to be able to use this video online when you're doing that.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Cut to Megan or something. You were doing it originally. I was looking away, so I didn't have to see it. Yeah, right. So we want to take some calls. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Do you know someone that's eating something the wrong way or have you witnessed someone committing one of these food crimes?
Starting point is 01:14:11 Maybe you are one of these people that does approach eating something a bit differently and maybe you do get a bit of stick for it. Talking about the foods that you eat differently. For example, people eat foods, maybe you've got a block of chocolate and they eat around the edges, like I do for a crunchy bar. Somebody said, speaking of blocks of chocolate, somebody said if we get a
Starting point is 01:14:31 king-sized block of chocolate, their dad unwraps the whole thing and eats it long lines. What? What, like breaks off a whole long line? Like a big Tetris, the big red Tetris. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the long he doesn't go row by row, he big red Tetris. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the long. He doesn't go row by row. He goes column by column.
Starting point is 01:14:47 No, that's weird. It's because he wants more because he could just have two rows. I don't know what his problem is. Yeah, I'll open up a block of chocolate and just do the first two rows and then have a go at those and then the next two. Come back. And then if you snap it and it doesn't go perfectly across, you have to, of course, take that next line as well.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you do, you do. And just keep going until it's a flat end. Yeah. That totally happens. Someone said, I peel my Cheerios because I can't stand the flappy end. Oh, yes. I love it when they peel in the pot because then it's less, like it's done half the work for you.
Starting point is 01:15:18 There's less flappy ends. Ruth, how do you eat a pie, Ruth? Hi, I eat it upside down. Like, I'll open up the wrapper, and for some reason, it's always been, like, the pastry lid at the bottom, and I've always eaten it that way, as far as I can remember. What if the lid's not properly sealed? Then we have a problem.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Houston, we have a lap stain. Hey, thanks, you're cool. Cass, how do you eat nuggies? I do this with grapes and nuggets. I will always peel off the outer coating or the outer skin with my teeth. Why? That's like peeling a fish finger.
Starting point is 01:15:57 You don't want to see the insides of a fish finger. No, with grapes and nuggets. Oh my god, we're best friends. I do that with grapes too Grapes and nuggets. Oh, my God. We're best friends. I do that with grapes, too. Yes! And nuggets.
Starting point is 01:16:08 You bite the nose off. How long does it take you to eat a pack of grapes? It makes it last longer. Yeah, it definitely savours them. But what's wrong with the skin? It's not... No, you still eat the skin. It's kind of like you get the sour bit first,
Starting point is 01:16:21 and then you get the nice sweet bit afterwards, like a treat at the end. And it's so soft when there's no skin. It doesn't have that initial like, oh, okay, Cleopatra with your bloody peeled grapes. I'm totally with you. Oh, my God. I can't believe all these. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Starting point is 01:16:36 Wow. Okay. I would have thought you would have been. I had no idea I worked with one. Somebody messaged in saying they were babysitting their neighbour who was four at the time. She asked for a wine biscuit. They said, sure, have a wine biscuit.
Starting point is 01:16:49 Yep. How she ate the wine biscuit was she held it like a wheel and just twisted it and ground it down against her teeth. Oh, I've done that too. Oh, I've done that
Starting point is 01:16:56 with a cameo cream. Mum always used to buy cameo creams because she knew I didn't like them. But after school, I would just open them up, eat the icing and throw away the biscuit.
Starting point is 01:17:07 You waste of cocoa. You monster. The biscuit was chocolate. It's yummy. No, it wasn't. It was like a yuck. It was cocoa. Yeah, it was a
Starting point is 01:17:13 multi-cocoa. When mum's at you, you're like, I've got to sneak a teaspoon of cocoa and you go, yuck. Did you ever make icing?
Starting point is 01:17:23 Yeah, that was pretty good. Alright, we'll take more of your calls and texts next We're talking about You're alright, hey Last break to go, mate One break I reckon, you know I could give you In the absence of James
Starting point is 01:17:39 I reckon I'm almost deep enough for a Go Daddy No, it's weird That was good So that's a bit weird for me I felt like I was going to get spat on I reckon I'm almost deep enough for a go daddy. No, it's weird. That was good. So that's a bit weird for me. I felt like I was going to get spat on. Oh, yes. Talking about the weird, unusual ways that you eat food.
Starting point is 01:17:55 And it's incredible. Like people eating pies upside down, chocolate bars around the edges. Somebody said, and I've seen people do this, that I just don't have the time or the willpower to eat a biscuit other than all at once. Yep. But someone said you peel the top off the Mallow Puff. Oh, that was the first thing I did.
Starting point is 01:18:12 And then you go and suck in the Mallow Puff off the top of the biscuit. But then you're left with a real dry, the boring biscuit. It is chocolate coated on the bottom. I used to bite off the biscuit first off the bottom and then you peel it. Yes. Yep. Yeah. That's a good way to go because then you're doing the work.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Yeah. Yep. Before the reward. And you're eating the boring bit first. You don't want the reward before there has to be work. Yeah. And isn't it something in 2020 we refer to eating a biscuit as work? True.
Starting point is 01:18:38 Fiona, how do you eat a chocolate bar? I eat around the edges and then if it's a Kit Kat, I'll eat from the top to the bottom after I eat around the edges, and then if it's a Kit Kat, I'll eat from the top to the bottom after I eat around the edges. Wait, you would go all around a Kit Kat? Yeah. Each individual finger of the Kit Kat? Yeah. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Wait, so in this hot weather, it would melt. It'd be a milkiness. Oh, no, but that's the best part. Nestle chocolate melted is amazing. No, but what about, say, for example, a Morrow bar or something? Would you go all around the outside of a Morrow bar? Oh, no. No, no, that's too far. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:19:11 So what, just a hard bar? Yeah, so like a crunchy or a Kit Kat or like a picnic or something. Picnic's a hard one. There's a lot of... Yeah, you see, you... A lot of undulating texture. You sound like the passenger side would be a mess or your driver's seat would have a lot of little peanuts on it
Starting point is 01:19:29 and chocolate melts. There's napkins. A lot of napkins. A lot of napkins. Fiona, thanks for your call. Molly, what is it that you're reading a little bit differently? So when I'm drinking a canned drink, I only pop the tab like a tiny bit.
Starting point is 01:19:44 No. No. No. I used to do that. And then you'd tap it a little bit and get a little bit of drink in the gutter and then you just slurp it. I never grew out of it. I never grew out of it. I just keep doing it and I can't stop. And so do people just see you do
Starting point is 01:20:00 this and they're like, what are you doing? Yeah, my friends, every time they're like, oh, you're not again. And I'm like, I can't, I have to. If you were in an event and they popped the can for you all the way open, what would you do? I'd just be really sad.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Also, it makes it last so much longer, eh? Get a straw, Molly. Get a reusable straw. Molly, thanks for your call. Some other text messages. I saw a colleague eat a muffin with a knife and a fork. What? We've got more knives and forks. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:31 My brother's friend came around for dinner and ate a pizza piece of pizza piece of pizza. Pizza. Pizza. Yeah, there we go. With a knife and a fork. No, I was with someone last night and they got a knife and fork. I was like, what are you doing? Sometimes I'd eat pizza with a knife and fork.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Why? If I was meeting someone for the first time, I'd probably do that because I don't want to be like looking all gross. Don't set unrealistic expectations of how they expect you to be. No, I'd start off with high expectations of me and once they like me,
Starting point is 01:21:00 then I'd show them my uglies. I want them to see cheese dribbling down my chin so they get me at my worst and then I can only get better. Right. Yeah. You could get far worse than that. Somebody said,
Starting point is 01:21:11 I made a new friend and when we went to get KFC, we went through the drive-thru and he leaned across and popped open the glove box and had his car cutlery in there and he ate KFC with a knife and a fork. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:21:24 But then do you know some people can't I know I didn't know this but some people can't take chicken off the bone you know like a hot rotisserie chicken I always get them
Starting point is 01:21:32 great in salads and some people can't deal with that the bones it gives so much flavour during the cook I don't like the like the
Starting point is 01:21:40 is it the veins or something yeah all the good for you actually all the internal bits. Somebody said my best friend ate a Fijo a whole, skin and all. She got a sit-down lecture from our family on how to eat Fijos properly.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Someone said, eat a rice cake upside down. People always freak out when I do it, but it'll change your life because all the flavour actually hits your tongue, not just burns the top of your mouth. So it burns your tongue instead of the... It doesn't burn the tongue as much, they said. It's more of a flavour sensation. Are you still eating these polystyrene crackers?
Starting point is 01:22:11 You were big on those. Yeah, they're delicious. Okay. Peanut butter and banana on top is delicious. I get a Subway meatball sub and I eat all the meatballs out of the sub and then I eat the bread that's soaked in the meatball sauce. People are whetted out by this but that's life.
Starting point is 01:22:28 It's like, deal with it. My husband butters scones. He cuts them vertically in half and then pushes the butter in and slams them shut again
Starting point is 01:22:35 rather than cutting it horizontally like a normal person and then the butter The butter runs out. It's got nowhere to run. But he says this way, if you do it the other way
Starting point is 01:22:43 the butter only goes on the bottom half. But then do flip around. Yeah, on the top and the bottom and then push it together. Someone said, my partner eats everything the wrong way. He opens a block of chocolate and just takes a big bite, doesn't break it. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Does this with Kit Kats. He eats pies sideways. What's sideways? No, you have to approach from the top. From the skinny. How do you eat a pie sideways? Well, you have to approach from the top. From the skinny... How do you eat a pie sideways? Well, you know, it's long, right? A pie is long. Oval long.
Starting point is 01:23:11 A pie is circular. Circular. Well, I mean, they can be oval. I was imagining he just goes like sideways, sideways. Oh, right. Like some sort of anaconda. Oh, no, but then it runs out. Then it runs out.
Starting point is 01:23:21 He also opens chip packets upside down. No, but then I get that... You've got to write it with the writing. No, because the flavour goes straight to the bottom, doesn't it? But then I like getting all the little chippies at the end and all the flavour and then running my finger through, licking it, running it through again, getting all the flavour and the little dust, chip dust. It's real yum. Why make out like you don't do that?
Starting point is 01:23:42 Somebody said I was yelled at at a dumpling restaurant for eating my dumplings with a knife and a fork by the lady running the place. I don't know what she was yelling at me. You don't need to cut, though. There's always someone like Megan. Can I have a fork, please? No.
Starting point is 01:23:56 Use chopsticks now. I can use them now. My friend eats an apple, like, from the bottom up. Like, doesn't Eat around the apple Right And then dispose of Or eat the core No you all go
Starting point is 01:24:10 You go round round round round round Top or bottom Depending how hungry you are I always eat all the core Tomorrow I'm going to try this I'm just going to eat it from the bottom I'm just going to eat through the apple No but the little stalky bits
Starting point is 01:24:23 At the bottom That's okay How do you just... Oh, that's really weird. Because now, how am I going to eat the rest of the apple? I could go down, down, down, down. Yeah, I think that's what you do. That's up, up, up.
Starting point is 01:24:35 Try it on the core. Just hit the core. Hold the core and eat towards your fingers. It's got a little pee-pee in the middle of it. A little stalk, but look at it. It's never stopped you before, mate. Get into it. ZM's Fletch,
