ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Friday. I thought you were going to say Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day. But of course the end of the week is much more important to you than love and such. Than Valentine's Day, sure. That might be a one-way street because somebody's actually asked me to drop this off.

No, they have. Yes, they have. Some flowers for Fletch. Is this a set-up? Is this a set-up? It's not a set-up. Somebody messaged me yesterday saying... You've got roses.

Somebody messaged me yesterday saying, if I drop roses off to your house, can you please deliver them? Really? And this is not a set up. It's not a set up. You're going to need to trim the bottom of those and get them in some fresh water. You've got red roses. I'm so cynical.

That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Are you going to share? No. What? That's pretty funny. Anyway you going to share? No. Oh. What? That's pretty funny. Anyway, moving on. You can't do that.

You can't do that. What do you mean you can't do that? I can do it. You read the card and just had a laugh and put it away. Smell the roses. They're lovely. They're great. You've got to smell them. Is it someone having a laugh? Yeah, it's just my friend having a laugh.

Because we are, actually a few of us are going out on Valentine's. Well, we just organised something and then realised it's Valentine's Day. Cute. Yeah, so. You're going to the theatre, I was told. We're going to the theatre, yeah. We're actually going to a show. You're going to a show?

Yeah. A theatre, a theatrical. Well, he was a Wellington patron of the arts some years. We're actually going to a show. You're going to a show? Yeah. A theatre, a theatrical. Well, he was a Wellington patron of the arts some years back. I know, I have been. You're actually a member, Megan. You might have forgotten. He just did that for cheap tickets to Bon Iver. Bon Iver, that's right.

I had to sign up and become a patron of the arts. What are you going to go see? Do you know what it's called? No, I don't know. Friends organising it all. Theatrical group date? No, I don't know Friends organising it all Theatrical group date Yeah, I don't know I was just more excited

because Aperol Spritz was mentioned Oh, okay Three Aperol Spritzes That's the way to get you Yes, it is involved in anything Yes Coming up on the show

the top six and what a big weekend Well, actually is it a big weekend for Huntley or is this the death knell? This could be the final nail. In Huntley's coffin. For Huntley.

Yeah. The Waikato Expressway is going to be open for a little bit of a walk, bike tour. Now, this has been, as a Waikato lad, this has been a long time coming. How much is this going to shave off the journey between Auckland and Hamilton? Well, given that Huntly can bottleneck, and I only tend to go down there in the weekends, or when other people are, and I do get a bit of traffic there, I think this could shave 15, 20 minutes off the journey.

You reckon that much? Yeah. Wow, okay. So basically, if you're southbound, gets off before Huntly. Yeah. And then rejoins at the Waikato Expressway just past Taupiri there. Wow, okay. And I'm just looking forward to it.

This has been wrought with controversy. Yeah. Because there was a steel situation. They didn't know the quality of the steel being used. Right. The concrete, it's all legit now. Right. And this weekend it opens for a walk.

Oh, you know. And a half marathon, I think. Oh, really? Okay. And your top six deals with this. Yes. The top six things we'll miss about Huntley. Because it'll be bypassed now.

Yeah. There shall be no reason. Do we broadcast to Huntley? Oh, very clearly. Okay. Very, very clearly. All right. But I mean, it's not in jest, is it?

No, it's six things we'll actually miss. We'll actually miss, yeah. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, story time. Three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan must pick one headline only. Headline one, man arrested on right on.

Headline two, doomsday timeshare. And headline three, company's old, new, unfortunate name. Old, new, unfortunate name. Unfortunate name. Yeah. But I've got a bit of a tickle in the back of my throat. If you guys have made me sick. Oh, you're getting it.

Unbelievable. It's completely... Yeah, you're doomed. Yeah, I'm doomed, aren't I? Absolutely doomed. I thought you'd want the Doomsday timeshare. It sounds up your alley. Yeah, but then...

Yeah. Well, it is. But then imagine if it wasn't your week when the end of the world actually happens. Very good point. Yeah. Yeah. But it would be good fun.

I kind of want the last one. Yeah. Oh, new name. Okay. Yeah, we could go with that. Sure. Okay. Loading, loading, loading.

Probably could preload all of these before. But as you may have heard, yesterday or the day before, coronavirus has now been called COVID-19. Yep. Which, as previously mentioned, I think is too late to change the name. Like, it's always going to be called coronavirus, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah. Like, have you ever heard, in conversation the last couple of days, someone drop COVID-19? No. Just corona, right? Yes. Well, that's

its official name, according to the World Health Organization. When they announced this, there was a company in Arizona called COVID that went, oh. Oh, no. What did their COVID stand for? So they have been a company,

they actually are a company out of Amsterdam. They have been a company. They actually are a company out of Amsterdam. They have been a company for 40 years. They make high-quality audiovisual products like cables and plates. Cables and plates. I don't know what plates. Like gold. I don't know.

You know, connectors and stuff like that. And so they were actually, there's an article just about how they were at a large trade show in Amsterdam. A company out of America, they were in Amsterdam for a trade show when the news broke that it would be called COVID-19. It's just a big article about how they were all extremely surprised and confused, but they're just making do with it. Apparently, the web traffic for their website went up astronomically. Because they were in the Google results. Because they are, yeah, COVID. Oh, that's unfortunate.

Yeah. But yeah, no one's calling it that. No, exactly. No, it's not going to catch on. Wow. Excuse the pun. Yeah. Well, that's like...

It will be contagious, but the name change won't. You remember ISIS hairdressers? They had to change their name. Yes, that's right. There be contagious But the name change won't You remember ISIS hairdressers They had to change their name Yes that's right There was quite a few ISIS businesses And they were like Oh god damn it

Yeah But yeah It's unfortunate Okay Unfortunate name change Imagine if a terrorist organisation Beaufort and Co started up Your cafe would be ruined

Yeah Sort of like a real Like a boutique terrorist organisation. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bespoke. Bespoke. Yeah. We're not a big organisation, but when we do things.

We do things. Classy. Yeah. What is that one? Artisan. Artisan. We're an artisan terrorist group. We've replaced the stock handles on our

AK-47s with this lovely mahogany. Mahogany, rich mahogany. And yeah, we've got knitted covers. And we've crocheted our own balaclavas. One of the more breathable. Yeah, Beaufort & Co.

Really terrorising the Middle East. Yeah. Good lord. Flesh for an Amegan. The podcast. Good lord. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. In the Marlborough Sounds, there was a dive. Yeah, there's a marine reserve there. Beautiful. I've never personally been, but I've got friends that regularly go there. There's another

friend of these that's got a place. It's beautiful, isn't it? Oh, it looks stunning. Yeah. All the videos and photos and stuff they have from down there look amazing. But there's a massive marine reserve there. And home to some endangered species and some very specific New Zealand species. There's also a nesting area there for the king shag. Oh, okay.

Which, as the name would suggest, wears a crown and rules over the rest of the shags with an iron fist. However, when a recent dive went down, the divers returned with some 40 golf balls. Oh, okay. Found in the Marlborough South Marine Reserve. Oh, dear. 40 golf balls. The owner of the dive center, Stuart, he put it on their Facebook page saying this is unusual. Yeah.

And does anybody know maybe somebody's been trying to throw the balls at the king shags to scare them off? This is a king shag nesting area. And one local said, oh, actually, we live on the other side. And we hit golf balls because we know it's 250 metres if we can land them on the other side, and we hit golf balls because we know it's 250 metres if we can land them on the other side. So the ones in the water have fallen short of the 250 metres, but we weren't trying to hurt any birds. We didn't know there were birds over there,

but there should be some more golf balls down there, probably about 3,000 around if you could. Oh, my God. 3,000 golf balls. Wait for it. There should be about 3,000 down there. Could. Oh my God. 3,000 golf balls. Wait for it. There should be about 3,000 down there. Could you please

return them to our jetty? Wow. So they could, because obviously they're buying these golf balls off a driving range or, and it's costing them money.

Wow. And heading them into a marine reserve. How much money do you have if you're teeing off into the ocean and losing thousands of golf balls? Too much.

Probably the same amount of money that would get you a place in the Marlborough Sounds. Yeah, true, yeah. That's true. So, obviously not seeing the problem with it, but researchers have said that golf balls do have a toxic effect. Oh, really? When they slowly break down in the water. Apparently a polyurethane elastomachel

and a synthetic rubber core also added in there, zinc oxide, benzoyl peroxide, blah, blah, blah, a few different things. And when it breaks down, it can leak and have a toxic effect.

Did you ever, as a kid, put a golf ball in a vice and then hacksaw it in half? No. And when you cut through it, it unwinds and goes. Because there's heaps of rubber band in there and a cork middle. It's real interesting. I don't know if they do them.

I know there's some different ways of making a golf ball these days. Golf balls have changed. I think you're going to say when you were a kid, we used to play golf. And when we got to the eighth hole at the Morrinsville Golf Course there was a lake and it was a

a tricky wee hole yeah right because you had to go up over the lake onto the green but if you hit the finger it would roll into the lake nine times out of ten

I've had that happen at mini golf before almost the same some kids made a good amount of pocket money for going in getting in there

because they must have to send divers into Lake Taupo for that hole-in-one challenge. I think so, yeah. Because that's a tiny pontoon. No one's landing on that. Well, and if you do, it'll bounce straight over. Yeah. How long until they're not allowed to do that anymore?

Or is it because they go in and get the balls? I think they do go out. I've read they go in and they get divers to get them out. But yeah, this guy whacking golf balls I couldn't see a problem with. So do you reckon he can be charged? Well, there's no mention of that in any of the articles or reports I read.

It's a marine reserve. But he's not... There's no proof that... Maybe it's only a crime until he hits a dolphin. Correct. You know, and then we can press charges maybe. Yeah. But until that happens.

They've got photos of the sort of fish that live in there. Very interesting looking. Are they pretty? Aquatic. Not like pretty in the... Nemo? No. Oh, okay.

Well, no. Well, what? I'm not going to get out my glass-bottom submarine and have a look around there if they're not pretty. Yeah, no, they're not like what you're thinking of, like a tropical fish tank pretty. Yeah, not like that. No.

Okay, yeah. But they're all equally important. That's true. It's pretty. That's true. Until they get churned up in the inter-islander blades. Oh, my God. It doesn't go in there, does it?

No, I don't believe it. No, he shouldn't be fanging around in there, does it? No, I don't believe it. He shouldn't be fanging around in there if he's not allowed to hit his golf ball. No, I don't think the inter-islander isn't going through a marine reserve. Just saying that the fish could swim into the path of the inter-islander and get sucked up into the...

I don't think they'd go out there. Okay, great. From the ZM sink tank, this is the top six. Oh, it's exciting. It opens today. This is the Top Six. Oh, it's exciting. It opens today. This is the expressway that will... Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip.

Huntley. Out of the Auckland to Hamilton. Hamilton to Auckland commute. I think they call it bypassing. I like to imagine that. Snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, snip. Blessing today. And then a formal event and lunch on the highway I had to imagine that. It'll be open to the public to walk, run, cycle and bus along the new stretch of tarmac. Yeah.

Saturday also features the Expressway Classic Half Marathon. Right. Where you'll be able to run through the Taupiri Range, which is where the road goes through now. Right. It's going to be pretty exciting. You're not going to be able to start the race after 10.30. No, the race is capped at 10.30. Does that mean you've got till 10.30? Yeah.

From 7 till 10.30, so you've got three and a half hours to do this. Yep. And then they're just going to open it up. So if you're a strength... Not to the road. Not to the road. Not to cars.

That's when they start. I can't run over. That's when you start your walking, cycling and the bus rides. I know that I'd get one over. Come on, slowpoke. We've got to open this to the trucks. The trucks are just going slow behind you.

It's good in the centre. Don't open the truck, please. Initially kept at 100 kilometres an hour, but then it will be one of the sections of New Zealand Road with a speed limit of 110. Good. I like those 110 stretches. Yeah, but it does mean that we have to say farewell.

Haere rā, Huntly. The top six things say farewell. Hurray to Huntley. The top six things we'll miss about driving through Huntley. Number six, that shop on the south side of Huntley that sells crystals, candles, and dragon stuff. It's a purple shop. Dragon stuff. Dragon stuff. Okay. Yeah, they've got dragon-y, sculptury stuff.

Paraphernalia. Yes. Beside the, you know, if you're going through, you might be thinking, where's that? You drive through Huntley, there's another shop. It says surf skate specials. And it has an orange flashing light outside. Yeah.

It's a classic. Yeah. If you're wondering where you can still get a pair of DC shoes that you might have worn in 2006, right there. Right there. Yeah. Right there. Number five on the list of the top six things we'll miss about Huntley.

The top twins and rugby league legends murals. Oh, yeah. The top twins mural is a classic whenever you drive through. It is. Yeah. It's an absolute icon of some New Zealand icons. And we'll miss it dearly. Number four on the list of the top six things we'll miss about driving through Huntly.

This one comes from executive intern Anya, whose boyfriend who actually, did he write this article? He works with the people at driven.co.nz who put together this article. He sits next to the guy that wrote this. Wrote the article. Now, he is also a Waikato lad. So you drive down every now and then Yep

I frequent that little town And you will miss on the north side of Huntly The real fruit ice cream No That wasn't the one we were talking about Oh I'm sorry North End Motel North End Motel

Yeah yeah yeah that one You're ruining the list The motel Okay I'll give you the real fruit ice cream Sorry it's a two for one You stop at that and then, as described by Anya, and I've driven past it all my life, never once stopped there, never once

stayed there, never once been inclined to. Executive intern Anya describing it as the sort of place that looks like it's hireable by the hour. Yeah, right. You know, you might pull in there with a 100 tinder match up.

Yeah. Park the Mack truck on the side of the road. Okay, great, yeah. Yep. That's safe, though. Better than doing it while you're driving. Yeah, no, that's true. Number three on the list of the top six things we'll miss about Huntley,

stopping and making the power station chimneys your diddle by lying on the picnic bench. We did that, didn't we? Yeah, many people do. You can lie on the picnic bench. I don't think I've ever? Yeah, many people do. You can lie on the picnic bench. I don't think I've ever done that. Rest your ear. Yeah.

Position the camera just right. Yep. So you've got to double... Well, it looks like you've got two diddles. Two smokestack diddles. Yeah. Do you know they don't need

them any longer? I don't get rid of them. Are you supposed to say why? Why? Because they're long enough. Oh. They're not actually getting rid of them. All right, dad joke. You guys, you're going to miss out on... Why? They're long enough. Oh. They're not actually getting rid of them.

Alright, dad joke. You guys, you're gonna miss out on... They don't need them any longer. You're gonna miss out on two classic dad jokes now. Yeah.

Because you bypass the Topri hillside... Cemetery. Cemetery as well, which is a classic to say, do you know where they're buried on a hill? And the kids say,

why? And you say, because they're dead. And then that, and then the... I like that one. you say, because they're dead. And then that. I like that one. They don't need them any longer. And then, why not? They're long enough already.

Those are two classic dad jokes. The generations of dads to come aren't going to be able to tell their kids if they want to get from Auckland to Hamilton in the best time. Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six things we'll miss about Huntley, driving past the countdown and saying, that's the countdown where the guy that won $26 million worked. That's right.

You always say that. Trev from Tikofota, just up the road from Huntley. He worked at that countdown when he won the $26 million, and he told John Campbell that he'd be back at work on Monday, or he'd give him $26 million. He wasn't back at work, and he he'd give him $26 million. He wasn't back at work, and he still owes John Campbell $26 million. Yeah.

That is one of New Zealand's biggest injustices. I think John Campbell's let it go. You're the only one that has it. He shouldn't have. He shouldn't have. And the number one thing we'll miss about Huntley when the bypass opens and will no longer be popping through,

the Decker sign. Of course. They should probably just move that. Yeah. To the motorway. Yeah. To the side of the motorway. That'd be lovely.

So people can still see it. That's today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now, news out of Australia, there is actually a Facebook page called Bring Back Marble. Marble chocolate. Do you remember Cadbury Marble chocolate? Yes. So it was

milk chocolate and white chocolate. Yeah. Swirled all around. So it was like Dream, was it Dream chocolate? Yeah, but Dream was no, Top Deck was separated. Yeah. Dream was just white. Yeah.

And then the marble was... And this was a swirly version of top deck. Yeah, it was swirly. But it made it look like, from the photos I'm looking at, like the base was mostly milk chocolate. And then the top was white and there were swirls through it. Oh, that's right. And you could bite the top bit off.

Remember? Did you ever used to do that? Would it come apart? Top bit swirled, it would come apart. Okay, so you're. And you could bite the top bit off. Remember? Did you ever used to do that? Would it come apart? The top bit swirled, it would come apart. Okay, so you're saying they made the base and then the marbled bit was plonked on top. Which was kind of like what top deck was, but top deck was very nice and uniform, whereas marble, it is... See, I think that's why I prefer the top deck.

Because you knew that the bottom was just... No, I like that they were separated and if you wanted to just nibble the top, you could. There was options. The group, the Facebook page Bring Back Cadbury Marble has 20,000 members. It was taken last on shelves in Australia and New Zealand eight years ago. Really? Eight years ago. And somebody on this Facebook page has shared a box,

a Cadbury box out the back of a supermarket with the sticker on the side of it, Marble Trial 2020. Ooh. And it is a box full of marble chocolate. So it looks like they are bringing back

Cadbury marble. Surely we would have got a little sniff of this. A little sniff of this. I think this is our sniff. This is it. It's waiting to be... How do we get all the way

to the supermarkets without... Well, I think people that work for a company have to remain quiet. Yeah, they're supposed to, but they don't. Yeah, they tell their family, yeah. We always hear from people

being like, you know, I can't see how. And the minute you include like supermarkets, loose lips. Yeah, loose lips, supermarkets. But yeah, apparently it's happening. Yeah.

In Australia, which means it'll happen here. Has anyone texted in a sleuth from a supermarket? No supermarket sleuths have messaged in yet. Not yet. But we do have the odd Cadbury person message in, don't we? We do. No, they don't. Shh, don't.

Well, no, they don't work for Cadbury. No, they'll just work in the industry. Yeah. They'll know. You know, speaking of a little bit of sleuth, a little bit of inside, I've got to tell you about this TV show I'm watching. Yeah. McMillions.

Okay. And you know McDonald's Monopoly, the game that you play? Famously, there was a huge fraud in America years and years ago. Is it about that? It's about that. They talk to the FBI agents agents and there's this one guy and at the start you find him really annoying and then you're like, okay, I actually really like this guy.

He was this young go-getter who wanted to like solve a case to make his name and he kind of got the sniff of somebody ripping it off. And the story of how they did it and how many people were involved and how McDonald's had no idea it was happening. They were ripping off McDonald's? Yeah, they were the ones because they were getting the prizes, these massive prizes,

and McDonald's was the one that was paying out the prizes. So it happened between 1989 and 2001 with McDonald's Monopoly. This was in America. And $24 million. Whoa. That's a really great story. And there's a podcast as well. 2001 Yeah With McDonald's Monopoly This was in America And 24 million dollars Whoa That's a really great story

And there's a podcast as well Is there? I might listen to that afterwards Because I always find you get a bit more With a podcast Yeah Like the Chernobyl TV series Each one had a podcast

That was added more to that It's on Neon If anybody wants to Oh my Neon ran out I just Sign up for a week wait though because there's only

two episodes out right do another one set up another email that's what I did with Apple TV I tried to watch that Good Morning

I'll watch it all in seven days. Watch the first episode. Forgot, and they charged me $8. Gotcha. Oh, good Lord, that's terrible.

So now I've got three weeks to watch it. Otherwise, they're going to charge me another $8. Go. This is the cycle. This is how they get you, isn't it? Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast, ZM. A Waikato Holiday Parks's ad for new management wanted has raised some issues in the South Waikato Times. It says a couple required for full-time holiday park manager position in Tokoroa. This is a live-in position.

I have since read a bit more and learned that this isn't really a holiday park as we would know them. More full-time residents. Oh, okay. Had a rough time. Yeah, right. Trying to get back on their feet maybe. Okay. And this is, you know, what they can afford to live in at the time.

But it says the requirements of the management position. Experience in management and in hospitality. Okay. Able to solve problems. That's me. Wife must have knowledge of Microsoft Office, telephone multitasking, and be good in communication of a quiet disposition.

Now, that's where the issues arise. Wow. Where's this ad from the 1950s? Well, it's Takarau, so yeah, pretty much. They did talk to the guy who put the ad in the paper. He's 71 years old. He used to run it himself but I think he's tried to sell it

but not really had any interest in people buying it. Yeah, right. And to be honest, from what he said, it doesn't sound like he meant it with any malice. Malice, right. Yeah, he didn't stand out and be like, women have got a role and it's inside. Yeah. It wasn't like he's like, look, the woman, the

wife, the partner, the whoever can do the weed eating or the motor mower or drive the courtesy van. I don't care as long as it's inside. Yeah. It wasn't like, he's like, look, the woman, the wife, the partner, the whoever can do the weed eating or the motor mower or drive the courtesy van. I don't care as long as it gets done. And the husband can do the computer work.

So, but what does he mean by the wife? So the woman has to have a quiet discussion. So he said in his experience if you're easily

angered, woman or man, man or woman. Whoever would be in charge of the office work to get maybe a tenant's Mr. Rent payment. Or there's money owed. He said he's found

if you're aggressive it will only make people harder to deal with. But it sounds like he just wants the wife to be in the office, to shut up and stay in the office. Yeah. Yeah, but he said not the case.

He's like, if that was how it was interpreted, I am sorry. I do apologise. I get what he means. But see, this is one of those cases of they've talked to him. He's explained himself. There's no need to cancel him. No. I don't think so. He's just himself. There's no need to cancel him. No. I don't think so.

He's just old and now of an older generation. And he said, I apologise. I didn't mean any... He maybe just should have got a bit of a hand with writing that. Well, that's what he said. He said, should the paper have not known better before they printed it? To say to me, don't say that. Just say person one, person two, or this is a job for a partnership.

Yeah, right. Yeah, but certainly didn't mean any harm. But I tell you what, I got some photos of this caravan park, and there are some rad old retro-looking caravans. You don't need a caravan. You don't? I need a caravan. I think I need a little caravan.

No, you do not. You definitely don't. A little caravan. It's a nice-looking red one there. No. Little caravan. I'll give it a year until he's got a shitty 1940s caravan. It's a nice looking red one there. No. Little caravan. I'll give it a year until he's got a shitty 1940s caravan. Yeah.

He's living in it out the back of his little farm. Yeah. Cute. Cute. Shadow will have the house and the kids and I'll just have the caravan. She'll be like, I see your dad in his caravan. I think he's a bit sad. I can hear him crying.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. ZM. ZM. $100,000 secret sound. With Z by Megan. Thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis.

Soundkeeper Gary, good morning. Good morning, guys. Is the Prime Minister going to have a guess? A little bit later? We can play it to her, yeah. I mean, she's running her country, Gary. She doesn't have time for these shenanigans. But more money for, you know, the economy and all that.

The budget and stuff. Drop in the ocean. $51,000. Well, it might fit some potholes somewhere. Yeah, what happens if she gets it right? I don't think she's well within her rights to win it. Well, no, but she's not technically called at the right time. And she's not allowed to receive gifts.

Oh, yeah, that's true. She'd have to... Oh, my God, imagine if we got her fired. So we gave her $51,000. Check it. Well, it's not a gift. She earned it.

It's a prize. Yeah, true. It's tax-free. Aidan, good morning. How's it going? Good, mate. Good. All right.

This is the secret sound. Yep. Which has been poured over a lot. $51,000 is yours if you can tell us what that is, Aidan. Is it the adjustable lever on an office chair? I've got a button. I don't have a lever anymore.

Oh. Megan just put her chair down. Your chair goes down when you press a button. Okay, let's have a listen again. That's not bad because there is like a noise when the chair kind of... It's that... And then they've also, some of those lever ones, you can lock your chair, can't you, the back bit.

So that kind of... And sometimes if you're not expecting it to go down, of those lever ones you can lock your chair can't you the back bit so that kind of yeah and sometimes if you're not expecting it to go down you get a little fright yeah you go Aidan it fits

with the clue but it's not the secret sound ZM's Fletch Warner Megan the podcast there is a video online of a lady. She's in a plain seat.

Yep. And behind her, in the row behind her, is a man. She says punching, but it's more like he's just jiggling. I'd say he's jiggling. He's tapping it. It's a proddy jiggle. He's jabbing the seat. He's jabbing it with his fist.

He's got a clenched fist that he's pushing. What do you call it when you clench your fist and you push something? It's a punch. Clenched fist. It's a jab. He's jabbing the seat. He's jabbing the seat. Jabbing the seat.

Because it's not as aggressive as a... When I read the description, I was like, he's like... No, he's not. Treated like a punching bag. It's not, yeah. No, no, no. But he's not. He's jabbing it.

That's a good... So he jabs it. She says nine times before he becomes resigned to the fact that she has reclined her chair. Yeah. And she put it up. It looks like more than nine times. Another passenger's filming this because everyone's just like, what is going on? Yeah.

I thought she was filming it. It does look like selfie. Oh, no. I thought it was like another. Oh, maybe she selfie filmed it. She was with a long arm because it looked like the other person was doing it. I think it was just a little plane. Oh, really?

Yeah, right. It was so far forward. And she put it up online expecting overwhelming support for her. For her. She did get a fair bit of support saying that's, you know, not a grown-up way to handle these things. Yeah. But a lot of people were saying, my God, that plane is tiny.

How dare you recline your seat? Yeah, I'm on his side. I don't think you should recline a seat in a small plane on a small flight. A short flight. There's an etiquette. If you're going on a long haul flight, say 12 hours after dinner,

and you're going to go to sleep, sure, put your seat back. That's fine in New Zealand, but in America their domestic flights are on tiny planes and we're not talking like an hour. Yeah, sure. You could be there four or five or six. So there's a long

time. And none of their planes are roomy. Is that the United Airlines? They really cram me in. I always reclaim my seat. I don't care. It's got a button I'm putting it back. Especially since he's going to be a dick about it. I'm definitely not putting it straight back up now.

Oh, I'd recline it anywhere. No, but would you? Okay, so Christchurch to Auckland. Would you recline? Yep. You are a monster. There's no... But you can recline your seat too.

Yeah, but then... That's getting more room. The recline isn't too Yeah but then Thus getting more room The recline isn't a great difference It's not lie flat It might give you a couple inches though So get over it then when you're sitting behind A couple inches make a world of difference Do they?

Oh yeah You just said it's not a massive recline So why does it bother you? But it does bother me when the other person puts it back Because then I get less room. So recline your seat. No! What about those things that were for sale where if you got on the plane and you clipped them onto the seat

in front of you so they couldn't recline? I know. Those were simply devilish. You clipped them onto the arms of the tray table and it stopped the seat sliding back past those. Genius. Yeah, so people couldn't recline in front of you but also those caused a lot of arguments. Yeah, they did. Because you are entitled to

recline your seat. That's why you can. Yeah, exactly. But have you ever been in an argument about it? Yeah, because once when the food's going around, you always put your seat back up. The staff are pretty good. They'll tell people to put their seat forward. I've been in a

flight where literally the person in front of me wouldn't put their seat back up and the food was in my lap pretty good. They'll tell people to put their seat forward. I've been in a flight where literally the person in front of me wouldn't put their seat back up, and the food was in my lap pretty much. See, in that, I would have probably started jiggling the seat or done a couple of knees in the back of the seat on purpose. Yeah, but I'm not one to get into a fight. Yeah, right. Or just eat in really aggressively.

And also, you have to sum up who's sitting in the seat too. Yeah, exactly. Like if it's a kid they a patched gang member? Then you always give them the evils. Yeah. Yeah. I've been doing that wrong. I famously did that once.

I was giving the patched gang members the evils. Yeah. But being scared of the children. Yeah, give it to the kids. I've been doing that the wrong way. Yeah. Give them the evils. They stop.

Right. Maybe start crying. Okay. But yeah. Wait, who starts crying? The patch gang members? Yeah. Okay, good.

Because no, kids are worse with that when they kick the back of the seats. Jiggle, yeah. Jiggle, they don't know they're doing it. Oh, you'd always rather have a kid in front of you than behind you. Yeah. For the seat. Because here's the other thing. If the person behind me is, say, a little old woman,

I'll much more be likely to recline because she's not going to need the room anyway. Whereas if it's a big giant man, I'm not going to recline my seat into that because he'll get all angry at me. So you look before you recline to assist the situation? I do because I'm courteous. There's etiquette to this. But again, not on a long, on a short flight.

I'm not going to bother reclining. Yeah, right. You don't get that much anyway. But I like to have a nuns. Yeah, true. And a recline on a short flight. I'm not going to bother reclining. Yeah, right. You don't get that much anyway. But I like to have a nuns. Yeah, true. And a recline helps there. Yeah. Somebody messaged in, try being tall and having your knees against the seats before the seat

even goes back. Yeah. You'd be better to pay the extra money to get one of the seats. But then sometimes you might not be able to get that seat. Like they might be sold out. The exit row might be done. Right. And that's the thing. If there was Right. Hey, tall people have their moments.

I'm short and I can't reach anything. So we all have our moments. You're saying that life kind of evens it out. Yeah. Okay, by you needing to buy a seat later and they don't need to. Yeah, exactly. Okay, right. Bingo, it all works out.

I'd like to know if you've ever been in a seating dispute, perhaps. A seating war? Yeah. Are we going to a seating dispute, perhaps. A seating war? Are we going to open this up to any kind of seating war, like maybe a stadium seat or a movie seat or any kind of seat? Yeah. Like when have you been in a seating war? Yeah. Okay.

Maybe there was a double up on tickets? Yeah. Oh, I don't like when you go somewhere and you've got specifically allocated seats and you've maybe chosen those seats for a reason. Like in the movies and someone's like, oh, just sit along there. I hate that. Do you remember that woman who had a buffer seat

and I was like, oh, if you guys shuffle over one, then these two people can sit here? Yeah. And she was like, no, I'm fine where I am. Yeah. It's like, ooh. Yeah. Okay.

Didn't want a bar of it, eh? No. And that wasn't allocated either. No. That was just general seating, wasn't it? She wanted the buffer. Just being a BI. Yeah. It's like, oosh. Yeah. Okay. Didn't want a bar of it, eh? No. And that wasn't allocated either. No. That was just general seating, wasn't it? She wanted the buffer. Just being a BI. Yeah.

All right. 0800 Diles at M. You can give us a call. 9696. Have you been involved in a seating war? Where was it? We want to know if you've ever been involved in a seating war. There's a video online of a woman reclining her seat and a man jabbing it nine times.

Small plane too. Small plane. I'm on his side. I don't think he should have reacted like he is. It's a real dick move. Like, you know, why not say to the lady, hey look, I've got no room to breathe back here. Please. When he ate, he was like, can you put your seat up?

Because, you know, I'm eating. And she was like, yeah, she put her seat up. And then once he was done, she put it back. And then he'm eating and she was like, yeah, she put her seat up and then once he was done she put it back. And then he started jabbing it. Because he's a mature grown up. Oh, was it after the dinner service that he jabbed it? Yeah. I thought it was when she first reclined. The minute that thing goes, bing,

on the plane and you're just like, pfft. Back we go. Because you want them to get it early so they can adjust to it. Yeah. If you leave it until halfway through the flight get it early so they can adjust to it. Yeah. If you leave it until halfway through the flight, it's going to be a real shock to them. Yeah, right.

That's how it works. So some setting wars, some text messages in, somebody said, does this count for family? Because it has come to physical blows of a shotgun between our siblings. How many fights have there been over shotgun? I witnessed one once where a guy called Shotgun and another guy sat in the front seat and refused to get out. I was like, well, this is a weird move.

This is a dick move. And then there was this massive stoush. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, there was like physical dragging. Okay. Anonymous, you've been involved in a seating war? Yeah.

I was a flight attendant a couple of years ago and we had a talk to a woman sitting behind this dude and I think he was quite big and he put his feet back and she was like, put your feet forward. And I was like, no, I'm not putting my feet back. She was like, put your feet forward. And she was being really aggressive. And so they started having this argument

and she literally punched him in the face. Shit! Was this in the face. Oh! Shit! Was this in the air? Yeah, we were in the air and it just happened. And she just punched him in the face and all of the passengers were just like, I am very, very sad. And in the end, she ended up being retained. The staff had to take like, take her,

and then she was taken off the aircraft by the police once we got there. Wow. And I'm assuming she would have got charged with assault. Well, we don't know what happened. We don't, you know, hear anything like that. But it escalated very quickly. Wow. So how are you?

Who's in the right? Like, what are you supposed to do when there's an argument About the reclining seat You just Like you just Go find the middle Man you know Like you've just Got to compromise

And a lot of the time The crew have to get involved Because people get Really really Pissed off about it And so then they start Pushing the call down And they're like

What is this And you're like No I'm still allowed to And so you've got to Kind of like Become their counsellor And they're like Okay well Alright I'm still allowed to. And so you've got to kind of like become their counsellor. And you're like, okay, well.

All right, now does this go? Yeah. Do you think you could put your feet back maybe an hour and then put it to work? Tell me about your childhood. When did this start? Yeah, I don't know. Amazing. Hey, anonymous, thanks for your call.

Another anonymous caller, you've been involved in a movie seat war. Yeah, that's right. Okay, so what happened? So it was a sold out movie and my auntie is taking myself and my sisters along. There was someone

sitting in our seats. The movie hadn't started yet so we asked them to move. She did. She shuffled along so we could fit in. And as we sat down, she sneezed all over my sister's ice cream. What? Okay, and did that make another argument? Uh, no, but I really, really wish my sister had accidentally dropped her ice cream on

the lady. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. She's like, oh, but I want to eat it, though. Brilliant. Anonymous thanks. You called some text messages. She's like, oh, but I want to eat it though. Brilliant. Anonymous thanks you. Call some text messages. Here's an interesting one.

Okay. Somebody said, I was on a flight from Hong Kong to Auckland and I ended up with a row of four all to myself. Oh. So I lay down. I've had this happen and it's just amazing. A woman came and sat on the far end and pushed my feet off so she could recline.

Sit down and have two seats to her two of the four seats. Oh, okay. Interesting. What do you make of that? You were there first but then you are hogging four seats. I don't know what I'd do with that. It's kind of your it's your seat so it's your room. Yeah, that's the luck of the

drawer. Yeah. It's supposed to sit where you sat. Yeah. Yeah. And she came and didn't say, can I have one of these seats or anything? She just pushed her feet off while she was sleeping. Do you know, you should have been like, excuse me, I bought all four of these seats. Oh, yeah. Yeah, prove it.

I'll play. Prove it. I bought, and they're like, but that would be more than business class. Yeah, but I just like. I know it doesn't make sense. I'm just a man of the people. Yeah. I like to sleep on a plane, but I like to do it uncomfortably across four seats.

Okay. That's why I'm back here and not up in business. Yeah. Somebody said, oh, okay. They went to one of those cinemas with reclined seats. Okay. Where you can sit with your partner in a little two there. Yeah, the love seats.

Yeah, the love seats. Do you reckon those will be all sold out tonight on Valentine's Day? I'd say so. Yeah. But this person who messaged in, they just bought one of them. Okay.

Because they just like the comfortable seat. Yeah. So then a guy arrives with his girlfriend and sees that he's bought two, but they're on, his girlfriend's in with him, with the stranger, and the guy's in the next one along.

Right. And he says, can you switch? And he's like, no. Come on. You may as well, right? Wait, did that person then have to sit next to a stranger? Or were they going to have a whole two to themselves? No, they had to sit next to a stranger.

Because they said it was full. No, that's fair enough. You don't want to sit next to a stranger in a love seat. Well, you'd evaluate the situation, wouldn't you? You'd be like, who do I want to sit next to a stranger. Oh. Oh, yes. Because I said it was full. No, that's fair enough. You don't want to sit next to a stranger in a love seat. Well, you'd evaluate the situation, wouldn't you? You'd be like, who do I want to sit next to in the movies more? Yeah, that's true. This girl who's come with this guy. Yeah. How many snacks has she got?

Okay, yeah. Yeah, because you're going to have to sit by a stranger regardless. Yeah. So you might as well just move and let them have it. Do they clean these love seats? They're leather, aren't they? So they'll probably give them a wipe. Like a light for breezing.

It's not. It's very public. It's very open. Oh, okay, good. All right. So they're not like a pod capsule. No. Oh, no.

Okay, good. No. You wouldn't run the risk. You just pay too much for a movie to be... Canoodling. Yeah, to be canoodling. Correct. I mean, maybe a light handhold, sure,

but when you paint that much... Oh, I did not think that was where that was going when you said it with hand. I've got five movies on Netflix right now that you can watch by yourself on Valentine's Day. This list comes to us from ZMOnline.com, along with a lot of other great content. If you forget what I'm talking about and you want to reference it later.

It's good. It's good for you. Company synergy. Yeah. There's station synergy there, isn't it? Yeah. Just different branches of the ZM tree synergising. Good.

I thought someone went to the trouble to write this up. Might as well get a good plug in there. Yeah, no, it's good. Mountie did it. It's good. Was that a good shout out? Yeah. Yeah, great.

Did you compile this, Mountie? Or did you just steal it from somewhere else? I mean, I rewrote it. Yep, hot play. Hot play for you. That's how the internet works. That's how I do my job too.

And I like how you rewrote it. It's really up my alley. Now, do you cry at these kind of movies, Mountie? I wouldn't say I cry at them. It definitely just kills a couple of hours. Alright, okay.

So all of these movies are on New Zealand Netflix? That is correct. What about you, Anya? Do you like a cry to a good old rom-com? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know you do. Yeah. Especially the first one on this list gets me every time. I've never seen it. The first one on this list? Have you time. I've never seen it, the first one on this list. Have you not?

No. You simply must. First one is Dear John. It's Channing Tatum and Amanda Seaman. I haven't seen this because this is a guy that wrote The Notebook and I was like, nope, he got me with The Notebook. Yeah, right. So they fall in love.

He has to go back to do army stuff. Army stuff. It's what Mountain Road. I've got to go. I've got to go, darling. Where are you going, John? I've got to go do army stuff. Will you come back?

It sounds sexy. When I'm finished doing stuff for the army. So obviously he's going to die doing army stuff. Well, I don't know. It depends what stuff he's doing for the army. Is he doing the bang bang stuff or the rebuild stuff? I don't know. Miscellaneous stuff. Well, it sounds like there'll be some the army. Yeah, okay. Is he doing the bang bang stuff or the rebuild stuff? I don't know. Miscellaneous stuff.

Well, it sounds like there'll be some heartbreak. Yeah, right. Friends with benefits. This is what Mountie wrote in the article. Justin Timberlake may give many the ick

because he does now. Like... Yeah. He kind of gives me the ick a little bit. Because he's gone all dad dance. Yeah.

Yeah. And then he held hands with that girl and it's like, well, I'm not cheating on my wife. It's like, what? You are. So Friends With Benefits, but Mila Kunis is in it

and there's lots of sex scenes in it. So maybe don't watch it with like your parents or your siblings. Who's sitting down to watch a movie called Friends With Benefits? With their parents? You know how you always start watching a movie and then you realise there's like sexy bits in it. You know how you always start watching a movie and then you realise there's like sexy bits in it and you're like,

damn it. Fifty Shades Free. In fact, I think all of the Fifty Shades are on Netflix. Yeah. But are they going to make you cry? Nah.

Nah. Not really. Well, not that kind of cry. You can be crying all day if you buy yourself a Valentine's Day. This is true. You've got to spice it up. Yeah.

Twilight. All the Twilights are on there. No. That's a big no from you. A big no from me. A waste of time. No, I always go back and watch the end couple. That's really good.

It's a bit more action. Okay. And The Notebook is on New Zealand Netflix. That would be the number one movie to make you cry on Valentine's Day. This is a good one if you've just started seeing someone. Right. You notebook them to see if they've got feelings. How they handle it all.

If they're a human. Have you ever been notebooked, Fletch? And if they don't cry. Then you're like, well, maybe this isn't for us. Yeah, right. Yeah. Now, what was that documentary that made every single person cry that we told you? Zachary.

Yeah, Zachary. Oh, that will, if somebody doesn't cry watching that, they're not human. That ruined me. Not today. Oh, it's not a Valentine's Day movie. No, no, no. Oh, no, it's not a Valentine's Day movie. No, that's just, I wish I'd never seen it.

It's really upsetting. They need to make a rom-com with action and explosions. But someone said that's just what James Bond is. Yeah. No, James Bond isn't a rom-com. But he's always like after the... Right, yeah. Night and Day apparently is a rom-com. And This Means War with Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine.

James Bond isn't love, Megan. It's lust. It's not real love. Know the difference. It's not going to last. No, it's not. ZM's real love. Know the difference. It's not going to last. No, it's not. ZM's Fletch Warner Meghan, the podcast. It's our first chat of the year with the Prime Minister

who joins us on the phone, but I'm not going to say Happy New Year because we're already halfway through February. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good morning. Happy Valentine's Day. I think you can say Happy New Year whenever you see someone for the first time.

Yeah, okay. What about in March? Well, then it's just awkward because it's been too long since you saw that person and clearly you're not close. So you don't really wish them to have a Happy New Year. It may be. And Happy Valentine's Day to all of you as well.

I only realised after I'd left the house that I hadn't recognised that with Clark. Well, then to be fair, he hadn't recognised it with you then either. Totally true. Totally true. We exchanged logistical texts and then just PS people.

It's very romantic. So you don't think there's any plans for today then? This is not a good start for that, no. Maybe he's trying to play it cool. Yeah, maybe he's secretly got you something and it'll be there later. I don't think so. Okay.

To me this morning was a picture of me having left the bedroom looking a little untidy, so. Oh. Brilliant, okay. I'm sorry, some of us just don't. And me messaging back with a little snacky, happy Valentine's Day. Brilliant. Okay. I'm sorry. Some of us just don't. And me messaging back with a little snarky, happy Valentine's Day. Yeah. Some of us have got a country to run.

Sweetheart, how about you flick the duvet? Yeah, you just snuck your fingers into the head while we've been as well, didn't you? Yeah. Have you ever used that on him? Sorry. I'm just, I'm trying to run the country. No, very rarely. I find that doesn't go down very well. Yeah. I mean, I've already had one divorce, so I'm not going to use that on him. Sorry. I'm just trying to run the country. No, very rarely.

I find that doesn't go down very well. Yeah. I mean, I've already had one divorce, so I'm not, yeah. Yeah. You've got to try these things, though. Of course, he can always throw back that he's only the primary caregiver for our child, which also ranks highly. Yeah.

Yeah. That's true. Yep. Both of these things I can see not conducive to an ongoing healthy relationship No, no, that's right Is this, this is an election year is it going to get, is it going to get mucky do you think?

Look, I hope not, I mean there's always you can't have an election year without a good robust argument You can do it, you can do it with a certain tone, so I hope not Relative to other countries without a good, robust argument, you can do it with a certain tone. So I hope not. Relative to other countries, New Zealand's always been pretty good.

And so I think we can set the tone. Right. Because, yeah, is it too easy? Like looking at America, the thems and the ussers are very clearly drawn. Do you think it's going to be too easy for New Zealand to get involved in that sort of situation? They've also been, I mean, I don't know if you've ever, you probably have seen some of the attack ads

that they run in America. They've had a long history of campaigning like that, whereas Kiwis don't really like that style of campaigning. It's not really us. And so I think ultimately if we just know our audience and make sure that we stick with the kind of campaigning people prefer to see in New Zealand, then we should be all right. But time will tell.

Time will tell. Right. And is this the year where you'll ask me to reprise my 1993 role as your deputy? I can start my own party and stuff. I don't have to, like, drag the whole Labour Party down with me, but... You know, I mean, let's talk about that. What would your party be called?

The Vaughan School Party Political Party? No, I hadn't given it too much thought, Megan. The Future. Is there a Future Party? United Future. United Future. Yeah, it's kind of taken. It's been done.

Future's the word that's done. I don't know if you're going to launch a new political party, you've got to have some sort of a hot word. I don't know if it'd be too far left for you, Prime Minister. He's got an electric gate now, so he's a pretty different person than what he was at high school. I'm centre left. You've installed an electric gate.

No, I didn't install it. It was there when we got the place. Oh, was it? Okay. Yeah. It continues to use it, though. We're not going to pull down an electric gate and be like, oh, this is a bit too 1% for me.

You did buy a place with an electric gate. That's all we need to know. Yes, to keep the poor people out, Megan. Oh, my gosh. I thought you were going to say animals, but gate. That's all we need to know. Yes, to keep the poor people out, Megan. Oh, my gosh. I thought you were going to say animals, but okay. No, it's to keep the animals in. Right, okay. I can't see Jacinda making a coalition with you.

No, probably not even just after I said to keep the poor people out. That would probably be enough to have ruined the possible collab situation. What else have you got on your plate? What else are you dealing with right now? Today, I'm off to Hamilton. You'll appreciate that. Are you going to the opening of the Expressway? Actually, we are.

That's not why I'm going down, but today there is another park completed around Huntley, so thank you for asking. I'm actually going down to speak at a conference and then open a school gym. A school gym? How do you open a school gym? Is there like a ribbon ceremony?

Often ribbon, often ribbon, yeah. There's many and varied ways that people have you open things. Once an avocado conference threatened to have me slice open an avocado. We drew the line. The conference is open. We drew the line.

And then you say something like, the we drew the line. The conference is open. We drew the line. And then you say something like, the stone's very big. Stone to flesh ratio is not good. What school gym are you opening? I'm going to St. John's today. Ooh. Yes.

St. John's. Yes, St. John's is mixing up today. And then I'm coming back to Farewell Mike Moore. It's mixing up today. And then I'm coming back to Farewell Mike Moore. It's his funeral today. Right. A bit of everything. Yep, very mixed day. Thank you for asking.

There's a bit of roading in there just for you as well. Yeah. Now, Prime Minister, just before you go, we are running the Secret Sound competition at the moment, and we thought it would be great if we could get the Prime Minister to have a guess at the secret sound. But we can't give you the money if you're right. Okay. Okay, this is it.

Any idea? God, it almost sounded like a printing press or something. I'm way off, aren't I? There's probably been things... We don't know. Like a hole punch or something. That's a famous guess, it is.

Everything sounds like a hole punch, as it turns out. Yeah, I've spent too much time in the stationary room. I'm sorry, that's all I've got. Big fan of stationary. I look forward to finding how far off the truth I was. Yeah. Don't we all. Have a good day.

Thank you. Enjoy that gym opening. I hope it's not too traumatic given that you did suffer a shoulder injury. Yes, I did. Thank you. Thank you. It's really, actually, really haunting me at the moment too. Thank you for remembering.

The listeners won't recall that we share the traumas of a shared PE teacher back at Morantle College. My mum told me he's still there. He is still there. Yeah. Least said about that. We've both been in trouble for days. Sure is.

It sounds like you were going to cut their funding or something. Do it. Cut his funding. Remember what he did to us. Bring him down. Cut his funding. Anyway, he's us Bring him down Cut his funding Anyway He's got to go to work today So

Probably going to get asked about that Have a good weekend Good to chat You too Making borrowing better For financially responsible Kiwis The current jackpot $ $51,000. Soundkeeper Gary.

Good morning. The Prime Minister just moments ago on the phone said a printing press, a hole punch. Was she even close? I'm not going to say. I'm going to hold on to that and see if anybody wants to use the Prime Minister's guesses, I like to think.

I thought we were going to get a free tick off. Yeah, I was too. On the website, just an hour doing guests. Kylie, good morning. Hello. Hi, Kylie. Hello. You've got through $51,000.

Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to just get through. Well, you're not yet. You've got to guess it. You can't just say she's got through $51,000. I was just giving a dramatic pause for effect, Vaughan. Right. I was letting that sink in because that's, you know, a lot of You've got to guess it. You can't just say she's got through $51,000. Just giving a dramatic pause for effect, Vaughan. Right. I was letting that sink in because that's, you know, a lot of money you could spend, Kylie.

I feel like I'm half a winner already just getting through. It's exciting. Yeah, all you have to do to get that money is tell us what this sound is. Oh, I hope I get it. All right, well, that is the secret sound for $51,000. What is it? I think it is a gas stovetop where you press the button to ignite it and the gas shoots out and ignites like you're cooking.

What a good guess. Yeah, it could be. Fingers crossed. So that gasp isn't a gasp. It's like when it goes... Yeah. It's a gas. Yeah, right.

Yeah. That's exactly what it sounds like. That's exactly what a gas stove sounds like, Vaughan. Soundkeeper Gary. Kylie, can I entice you to maybe change your guess to the Prime Minister's guess? No, I'll leave that one with Jacinda, thanks. Okay. Just confirming, don't want to change your guess.

No, I don't want to change my guess. Why do you want her to change her guess? Kylie. Yeah. Maybe you should have changed your guess. Oh, Jesus, Gary. You're such a tease, Gary. He's so good at the suspense.

Good or just an a-hole? I'm just going to stick with good. Okay, you're a nice person, Kylie. Friday Flashback. It is Valentine's Day today. We're going to talk about this soon, your worst Valentine's. But I thought today, and I've run this past Megan. I've been in discussion with Megan about this form.

Don't bring me into this. What? No, I do love this song. This is a great, I thought we need a song that's like a nice lovey-dovey song. And like Fletch needed help, obviously. He's not really good at this.

So one of the main, and I've just had, I've just, because I wanted to check this song, is a lovey-dovey song because I thought it was because it's been on. The lyrics are like

ambiguous and artistic. Yeah. You're like, what does it mean? But this has been in a couple of big rom-coms. 500 Days of Summer. Yep, it has been.

One of the main messages in this song is that you should not only live in the moment but share it with someone else as well. Oh. Born. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay. live in the moment but share it with someone else as well? Born?

Okay, yeah. Is this Hakuna Matata? No, it's not. That would be a good pick though. I'm going to be like, you're going to do that next week. Hakuna Matata? Yeah.

Well, I just say we just play the whole original Lion King soundtrack from start to end. What, but just between eight and nine? Yeah. Okay, great, yeah.

I think everybody would be down for that. I'd be fine with it. Absolutely. I'm not fine with it. You know I only just watched Lion King like four years ago for the first time. That's not our fault. This song was number 14 in Australia. It went really well in the UK.

Only made it to number 34 in the charts here. I just wanted to mention that bit. I would have left that out. Yeah. I guess so. In Australia, it went really well. In the UK, it only made it to number 34 in the charts here. I just wanted to mention that, but I would have left that out. Yeah. I guess so. Somebody's already guessed. Have they? Someone text messaged in.

They've got it right. I just saw there, and then I looked at the machine, and I can see they matched. And you can see that they're right. So today's Friday flashback on your Valentine's Day is the temper trap and sweet disposition. On set M. Sweet. Sweet. Yeah. Leave it to me. It's the temper trap, sweet disposition, happy Valentine's Day.

That's my pick for Friday Flashback. Megan, you love that. I love that song. They're a great band. So are Alive. Was that at a big day out? Yeah. One of the last big day outs?

What are they doing now? Make more music. Have you looked into it? They might be. No, they might be. I think I did listen to the album after this and it was a bit... It wasn't. I wanted every song like that, but it wasn't.

So they hit a good streak. Yeah. Nothing since. Was it good feedback? Did people like it? Yeah, pretty good feedback. Pretty good feedback. So banger.

Not a clanger. You're welcome. A lot of, I tell you what, a lot of early support for the Lion King hour next Friday. Yes. I'm down for that too. We're not doing an entire hour of Lion King. I don't know how long, actually, Lion King soundtrack. If you don't let us play it.

And I'm talking original Lion King soundtrack, not 2019. Oh, not yet. No, that was rubbish. I'm talking 1994. It wasn't rubbish. If you don't let us play it, Vaughn and I will sing it. What would you prefer? I'm in charge of the microphones.

I'll just turn them off Okay so you've got Yeah you've got Your circle of life That's four minutes I can't wait to be king Two minutes fifty Great song

Great song Jeez Then you've got Be prepared The scar number At three minutes forty Now that No I love that song

That was good That was good in the remake But I tell you what No it wasn't No Not as good as the original I'm saying I liked it It was poetic and stuff It was different But not nearly as good in the remake, but I tell you what. No, it wasn't. No, not as good as the original. I'm saying I liked it. It was poetic and stuff.

It was different, but not nearly as good as the original. Ross Boss is never going to let us do an entire hour of Lion King. It's not happening. Hakuna Matata. He loves Lion King. Did you see him? He cried in that movie. Yeah, I know.

Can You Feel the Love Tonight at 2 minutes 57. Then you've got a few Hans Zimmer scores. We're not playing Hans Zimmer scores. We're not playing Hans Zimmer scores. Probably skip those. Then you've got the Elton John circle of life. The Elton John,

I just can't wait to be king and the Elton John Can You Feel the Love tonight. Yeah, it's good stuff. Is it? Yeah. Is it? I think you'd probably

get an hour there. Maybe. So, oh, he's messaged. Who has? Ross. It's not entirely out of the question. Oh, he's messaged. Who has? Ross. It's not entirely out of the question. One song, Max.

One song. What's this? I'm sorry, Mein Führer, but this is 1939 Germany. You've not tricked us all into your way of thinking. A few more

checks in your support. Don't be afraid to let Fletch know that the Lion King hour is out there. And then after that we'll do the Aladdin hour. Maybe just do a Disney hour. We're not. Okay, but right now while that's just bought up, I'm going to

put that pot on the back burner and turn that down to a low simmer. Put the lid a little bit open so that it doesn't bubble over. Yeah, I'm not having it bubbling over. Because I hate it when it bubbles over and then it hits the element. There's steam, there's burning on the element. Yeah, because it's one of those old coil elements. Yep, yep, yep.

Yep. Okay. It's one of those old elements. So we're just going to simmer the Disney owl on the back. Okay, good. Just back there. Now, moving the pot onto the boil, we want to talk about your worst Valentine's ever.

Now, we wanted to do this because then it's going to make people feel better today. If they're not having a super great start to Valentine's Day, like the Prime Minister before who forgot. And didn't get a Valentine's herself. A passage message from Clark. The bedroom being a bit dirty. Not dirty.

Unkept. Unkept. Unkept. Untidy. Messy. Untidy. That's what I was after. Untidy. From the partner.

Maybe it's not been a great start to Valentine's for you. What's been your worst Valentine's? Something happened. Maybe it was a date that went horribly wrong. Maybe it was, I don't know, that was the day you found out your boyfriend was cheating on you. I tell you what, you're kidding. Already those stories coming in. Already those stories coming in. No way. Yeah. Well, you got dumped on Valentine's

Day. When did you get dumped on Christmas? That's not as bad. At least you've still got presents to open. It doesn't feel right laughing when you're not laughing with us. Yeah, why aren't you laughing? If you could laugh with us, that'd be great. I'm not really't really laugh yet.

I thought it was like 20 years ago. It's 20 years ago this Christmas. It'll be 20 years. I think after that, I think I'll be able to have a laugh with you. Okay. All right, so share with us now. 0800-DONES-AT-HEM. 9696 to text.

It's Valentine's Day. You just dropped a dab. Yeah. You did like a dance to Mitch James and then dab. That was weird. That really went on. Not again. Don't do that again.

It's Valentine's Day today. Yeah. And we thought just to make it better for those out there that maybe don't have a Valentine's Day, we'd share some horrible, horrific Valentine's Day stories so that in comparison, your day is peachy. What about, has Mr. Toyboy got you anything today, Megan? No, do you know what? I was like,

I'm going to be a strong independent Wahine and say, I got this day, sweetheart, don't worry about it. What, so you're doing something for him? Yeah. But shouldn't you also expect something from him?

What? What are you laughing about? What? What? Best not say. Did you ever thought that it is better in your head vaughn just acted it out it is peace not was that pretty good is that how you do it you're right yeah okay no not that thanks though no i don't think they had that attachment from peaches and Cranberries.

Yeah. Carry on. Not yet. What? Do you want to know what we're doing? Yeah, I want to know what you're doing. We're going out for dinner. Where are you going?

To this new place that I knew about. Imagine if you and Megan end up at the same place. No, he's not going to this place because it's nice. I'm going to cook a steak at home. So romantic. I said, no, I said. Really? What do you want?

She said a big juicy steak. Is that a euphemism? Well, I hope not, because I put a lovely big juicy steak. I'll be too full of steak for any... Yeah, right. Playing around afterwards. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, right. We're going out for dinner. I don't want to tell you the rest of it, because, you know...

I don't want you to be like, bleh, and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, let's take some stories now of those worse Valentine's Day that you've had. Those horrible moments. This is a great start to a text message. I'm deathly allergic to berries. Berries. Oh, okay.

Berries and cream. What else? Berries and cream. Berries and cream. I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream. It's an ad on YouTube. Google it. When my current boyfriend and I got together, I thought I had told him.

Yep. I had not. He took me out for Valentine's Day dinner at a restaurant. Everything was going swimmingly. Unbeknownst to me, the dessert he'd ordered had blueberries in it. I had a few bites, started feeling a little funny, and I asked the waitress, started feeling a little funny, and I asked the waitress,

blueberries and waddles. So I asked the waitress what was in it, and she had confirmed dried blueberry dust. Oh. Because I was going to say, how would you not be able to tell? It would colour it or... Yeah.

But if it's dried dust, yeah. Our nice dinner turned into an EpiPen and an emergency trip to the hospital with him freaking out that he'd killed me. A couple of months into our relationship. What? But they're still together. Yeah, I was going to say, sometimes the trauma can bring you closer together. But don't poison your partner.

No. I'm not encouraging it. We're tripping apart. You know what's going to fix this? Poison. Imagine never being able to eat berries, like raspberries. All the good berries. All the good berries. All the good berries. Strawberries.

Jess, good morning. Good morning, how are you? Good. Now, what was your worst Valentine's Day ever? So it wasn't me in particular, but my parents actually got separated on Valentine's Day. Oh, wow. Why not at least do it after, the day after? I don't know.

My mum had been away overseas and arrived home about one o'clock in the morning on Valentine's Day. And my dad was waiting up for her. Okay. And yeah, some things that obviously happened during the time she was away. Oh, okay. That's it. Yeah. Wow.

And so for Valentine's Day for you is always the anniversary of your parents separating. Yep, so I always ring my mum and say happy separation day. Oh, what was... She loves the reminder. Are we joking about it now?

Are we allowed to joke about it? Yeah, we do because it was 20 years ago and they get on quite well now and it's all water under the bridge. But, yeah, it was a bit rough for the first few Valentine's Days after that. Yeah. Okay, well, again, that's making people feel good now listening.

Yeah. At least their parents didn't break up on Valentine's Day. So thank you for sharing, Jess. We'll take some more calls. Emily, what happened? Your worst Valentine's Day. Hi. So I got home from work, and my boyfriend hadn't done anything for me. He was fast asleep. Hi. So I got home from work and my boyfriend hadn't done

anything for me. He was fast asleep. Okay. I couldn't wake him up. Can I point out at this stage, the Prime Minister just moments ago said her fiance hasn't done anything either. Clark hasn't done anything. Oh, it just must be a trend on Valentine's Day. Okay.

And his phone kept going off and I was like, what the hell is going on? So I had a lot of a snoop, as you do, and it turns out he had about 10 other girlfriends, which he'd asked all of them to be his Valentine as well. What? How old were you? 14? No, this was probably about two years ago.

And he had 10 on the go? 10 on the go? Yeah, yeah. So he was just a serial girl cheater. Yeah, cheated with other girls. He should have just been picking up some overtime at work. Work a few more hours, you know. Keep yourself busy.

Yeah. I know, right? No wonder he was asleep when I got home. Well, he was knackered. He had 10 to keep up with. Oh, my God. Exactly. Emily, thanks for your call Anonymous

Your worst Valentine's Day ever What happened? I found out My partner was cheating on me After ten years Ten years Ten years How did you find out

How many of those ten years Had he been cheating on you? For the last like five Wow okay And on Valentine's Day of all days years had he been cheating on you? For the last, like, five. Wow, okay. And on Valentine's Day of all days? Yep. How'd you find out? Did he write the wrong name in the card? Um,

My worst Valentine's Was the one that didn't exist In 2017 We left Canada On February 13th And arrived in New Zealand On February 15th And my husband said

Well the day didn't exist So I don't have to Get you anything He's got you on a technicality But wouldn't you have Flown over somewhere No you wouldn't have Nah Yeah okay anything. He's got you on a technicality. But wouldn't you have flown over somewhere? No, you wouldn't have. Nah.

Yeah, okay. I'd just sort of gone. God, imagine if you left New Zealand on Valentine's Day and then had to do another Valentine's Day. International Valentine's Day. How awful. Double Valentine's Day or double presents. I'd demand double presents.

Yeah. Worst Valentine's Day, I drank the last of the milk last night. And my partner got mad because he can't have a smoothie this morning. He spent the whole morning ignoring me to the point where I cried in the shower. Oh, my God. Over milk. Oh, don't cry over no milk. What's in the...

We'll just put water in the smoothie, right? Like for a while. No, you can't have a smoothie with water. No, water. You've got to have a thick consistency in the smoothie. I'm sure he could have found something that would have made it. Or go to the dairy. How far away is the dairy or the nearest servo?

Yeah. Or the nearest cow? Yeah. Milk and cow. Cut out the middleman. Exactly, yeah. Cut out the middleman. I don't know if that's recommended, but sure.

My ex took us bungee jumping for Valentine's Day. We went first thing in the morning and I ended up needing an ambulance after vomiting for two hours on the riverbank at the bottom of the jump. Oh my god. I had to stay in the hospital until late in the evening. Okay. Because it turns out that triggered wild vertigo. Yeah, I was about to say vertigo, yeah.

Good lord. Lucille 2. Lucille 2. On the way to hospital, he pulls out the phone and asks if I want to watch a video of the jump we did because he had a download of it. That's um... Not right now. Maybe later. Maybe later on. Found out

I was pregnant with my first on Valentine's Day morning. I thought it would be the best gift ever. Told my partner at the romantic dinner at the restaurant I manage. He broke up with me in front of everybody. Not in front of everybody. Oh up with me in front of everybody. Not in front of everybody. Oh my god.

In front of everybody. That's the worst. Okay. Someone said, I bought myself a nice cake for Valentine's Day because I didn't have a partner to buy me anything and I dropped it. Oh. Well, I mean. No.

Okay. Going from the partner breaking up with the pregnancy. Well, I mean... No! Okay. Oh, that's really sad. Going from the partner breaking up with the... Yeah. Oh, wow. Pregnancy to that. Someone said, you triggered them with your song choice, Fletch.

It's always been our anniversary on Valentine's Day. Sweet Disposition that you just played was our song. I found out on Valentine's Day, she cheated on me with multiple people. Oh, no. And so I played that song on... On what would have been their Valentine's. Yeah, right.

Okay, apologies for that. Great song. It's still a great song, though, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. I said that even though, yeah, Painful Memory is still a great song. Okay, well, thank you for sharing your Valentine's, your worst Valentine's ever.

I hope you're feeling better today, maybe. I don't know. Megan, why are you laughing? There's a lot to take in from the last 10 minutes, isn't there? There is. Okay. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. It's time for

Fact of the Day Day, Day, Day, Day Today's Fact of the Day is if you really want to celebrate Valentine's Day in the traditional sense. Yep. There will be blood. Ooh, you've got to shoot them with a bow and arrow. Like that thing.

Angel. Cherub. Cupid. Cupid, yes. A cheruby situation. No, it's, so Valentine's Day, they think, was situated here on the 14th of February. Yeah. To take over from Lupercalia, which was an annual festival.

Yeah. In the ancient times. And apparently a purification. So a purge. So you think of the movie The Purge. It was a purging. So you think of the movie The Purge. The Purge, yeah. It was a purging of all things evil and to release health and fertility in Rome. Okay.

In the city of Rome. Lupicalia apparently named because of what they called wolves at the time. Lupus. Yeah. It was wolves. What was the link to that? And you know the movie you were talking about before? The Twilight movie.

The Twilight, yeah. That has something to do with, I remember hearing that. Oh, right, okay. Because they were werewolves in that. Yep. So they also called it Februitus. And there was a februa. And that was the tool used for purging evil.

And that's where February gets its name from. So what did they do to people? It was a festival. There were sacrifices to be made. Human? Kill them? No, no, no. There was a goat and a dog.

They were to be sacrificed to the god. Then there was a sacrifice of salted meal cakes. What? No, what? What, like chucking away a salted caramel pudding? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. A meal of, no, not a salted caramel pudding. Oh, because I was like, I don't care what I'm sacrificing.

I'm not sacrificing a salted caramel pudding. No. Like chucking it in a volcano. I mean, I was very upset about the goat and the dog, but you're... But you thought for a moment there was a salted caramel being wasted and you were ready to absolutely put your foot down. Absolutely. No, a salted meal cake, like a cracker.

Yeah. Far more like a cracker than a sweet treat. Sacrifice that to the love gods. So then people would approach and their foreheads were anointed with blood from the knife that had done the deed. Okay. And then it was, when would you get some? Salted meal cake.

No, it's in Valentine's Loving. Oh, no, there's no loving. So then they would be... You would clean yourself with wool that had been soaked in milk. Right. And that would make you laugh. And that's how they knew that it had been a good sacrifice. Okay.

If you laughed. If you didn't laugh, it probably needed to be done again. And then there was a feast. Okay. Where you'd eat a lot. Yeah. That's how feasts work. And then you would run in an anti-clockwise direction around a hill.

You're running after a feast. Yeah. It's weird what humans believed, eh? Stupid. Do you think people will look back on us in 500 years and think, stupid? 100%. Yeah. 100%.

100%. Yeah. Many of the, this is a translated piece from a verse that was found. Many of the noble youths would run up and through the city naked on this day. After the feast or before the feast? Because I'm not running anywhere naked after a feast. I'd want to do a pre-feast run. Pre-feast run.

If I'm going to be nude. Yeah. Many women of rank also purposely get in their way. Oh, okay. Believing that they will get pregnant after being run into. Oh, really? Yes. And that was kind of like the idea.

So there was fertility. I can just imagine Megan seeing them run down. She's like, I'm going to stand in front of this hot one. I'm in your way. Oh, the hot one's moving. I'll get you a hot one. Just try and get past it. Just a rolling barrier, like a game of Bull Rush

but nude. Wait, am I nude too? Because that was when you were a kid and you were playing Bull Rush, you always tried to get the hottest person, right? I don't know, I went to an all-boys school. You just play catch and kiss. You don't bugger around with Bull Rush. Drop a shoulder into the hoodie.

Knock them down and you're like, I'm sorry, that wasn't at all how this was supposed to go. So today's fact of the day is if you want to

celebrate Valentine's Day correctly, sacrifice a goat, have a big feed and then run nude into hotties. Fact of the day,

day, day, day, day. I do, do, do, do, do, day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Fletch Warner Megan, Harry Styles, who is probably fortunate he's not in studio with us because Megan just told us what she'd do to him on Valentine's Day. It's very inappropriate.

Not the only one. Take him for a lovely meal? Yes. Anyway. Wine and dine. That sentence doesn't need finishing. There has been some information released by a site I've never heard of, Pocode.com

they do like specials and like if you know when you're buying something online and it's like you get to the checkout part and it says

redeem code and you're like well I'll just google one yeah I do that this what I seem to have from what I can find

yeah this place is one of those websites to choice find when you're looking for discount codes. Okay, right. And specials and ways to get free delivery or whatever. So according to that, and they said they used keywords when people were searching for things.

Yeah. Ahead of Valentine's Day, they used things like Valentine's Day, flowers, love, and other keyword searches that you would associate with Valentine's Day to draw a map of where the most romantic parts of the country are. So technically it's the most romantically curious because these are the people... That's what I... Exactly. Or the most romantically frugal.

People who are looking for discount codes. Yeah, those are people who need assistance as well because true romantics can figure out what to do themselves. Exactly. What can I do in this area for Valentine's Day? Yeah, yeah. And then restaurants might be having specials

or something. So, according to them, they have that though, carry on. Don't open your bag of peanuts, mate. It's not for a snack.

Well, they've got a snack. It's definitely not a bag. Good Lord. The most romantic regions or the places that ask Well, they've got a snack. It's definitely not a bag. Good Lord. The most romantic regions or the places that ask the most questions. Any guesses into which area of New Zealand? Like the biggest cities. Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland.

They just sound like... Because there's more people, so they're more romantic. We're more... Well, Canterbury as a region asks the most questions. You know why? Because of the punting on the Avon. It're more romantic. We're more, well, Canterbury as a region asks the most questions. You know why? Because of the punting on the Avon.

It's very romantic. Are you joking? Because that's actually very lovely. I wasn't joking. I'm saying that's very romantic. Yeah, it's so nice. It's pretty good. Number two was Gisborne.

Gisborne apparently are a very romantic region. Now, does this, if we had a transparent sheet, like an OH, what were those things here? Primary schools? Overhead projector. Overhead projector sheet. OHT was what went on the OHP. Okay, so if we had an OHT and we overlaid these stats

with the STI stats. Well, Gisborne, of course, would that correlate? Yeah, it probably would actually. Auckland, Wellington, and the Waikato finish the top five there. But if you go to the least romantic regions, this is maybe areas

where you shouldn't be expecting too much. Oh, these people are so clued on, they don't need any help. Yeah, right. The West Coast. Okay. Comes in last. The Bay of Plenty.

Next up. I was going to say, the West Coast, they don't strike me as very romantic. You're stereotypical get work done West Coaster. They're a rugged, hard type. Yeah. And that's just the woman.

Yeah. They muck in. Yep. They're a simple, good feed. Yep. She bloody knows I love her. Yeah. I tell her every day.

Tonight I'll feed her and I'll bed her. That's how we do things down here on the West Coast. Because they call it bedding their partner. Do they? Bed, okay, right. To bed them. Beat. No, no, no.

What the hell did you just say? To bed them. Yeah, bed them. Otago, down there. Okay. Maybe because of majority student population. Students can be romantic, can't they? Yeah, they love a discount, but I'm saying

the older population won't bother. There's older. The Tasman region, Marlborough, and then Nelson. Not very romantic. They're not searching for things romantic or discount codes for it. They probably just know how to get it done.

Would you please stop playing with that butt plug? You've been asking for that this whole break. You took it out of his bag right at the start of the break and you've been waving it around. He tried to pull it up saying peanuts and you continued to play. And you kept going, I gave you a way out. I offered you the door.

I held it open for you, but you didn't. Why do people send us these things? Happy Valentine's Day. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the door. I held it open for you, but you didn't. Why do people send us these things? Happy Valentine's Day. He's been reading about a British man with an unusual collection. He collects fruit stickers. Okay. From around the world. Oh, okay.

That's pretty cool. Isn't it? He's got like... I was going to say, this doesn't look like a stamp collecting book. He's had this book specially designed. Right. And it's got one, two, three by five.

That's 15 by my math. Yeah. 15 squares on each page. And he, what, goes to another country, has a mandarin or an apple. And takes the sticker home. Or people know this about him now, so they save them when they go overseas and bring them back.

And he pops them on. But that's cheating if someone brings you a sticker. Like, surely you've got to collect them all. Yeah, that's what I think. No, no, it's like stamp collecting. You could always trade. You could do trades. People would bring you stamps.

People are into weird things. It's like, do you know those people that go to hard rock cafes or Starbucks's around the world and they're like, I've got to buy a Starbucks mug from Sydney. Yeah.

And then they go to Los Angeles and they buy a California Starbucks mug. Yeah. Yeah, but then they, it's mementos

just because you don't. Of a Starbucks mug. You have a collection. You collect things. I don't collect anything. Notches. Not don't collect anything. Notches. Notches in your paper. But yeah, he's got so many of them and he's very proud of them.

He's a graphic designer, so maybe that kind of weighs into it as well because they're all different and they've all got different designs. I'd be interested in seeing his stickers. Yeah, I'd sit through. I'd sit through. A minute of it? A couple of minutes of it. Absolutely, Max.

I'd have a peruse. And that's it. Because I mean, they're not like, I mean, they're not overly designed, are they? They're just barcodes, aren't they? Well, no, no, no. A lot of them don't have barcodes. A lot of them are PLU numbers. Yeah, right.

Or what the fruit is. Some of them are as simple lot of them are PLU numbers. Yeah, right. Okay. Or what the fruit is. Some of them are as simple as that. Or just the brand. Yeah, right. Okay. The soldier, the apple. The cicada banana. He's got a couple of cicada bananas in the mix there.

Because that's got the lady with the bananas on her head. Yeah, right. Okay. There you go. Wild start to your weekend. Calm down. ZM. Head music. Live ZM. Flesh, fauna, Megan. you guys wild start to your weekend calm down
