Starting point is 00:00:00 ZM. Head music lives here. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletchvorna Megan. Had my bloody feet up, I was relaxing. You haven't even got your headphones on. I've got them out of the bag, that's the most important part. Oh God. I haven't put them on my head yet though.
Starting point is 00:00:18 It's Tuesday, it's only Tuesday. Here we go. Ooh, ooh, ooh. They were loud, that was too loud. Broad we go. Ooh. Ooh. They were loud. That was too loud. That's the mess we're dealing with today. Broadcasting professional. Yep.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Let's do this. There we go. Yeah, we're ready. Let's do this. Vaughan's ready. We may continue. Snuck up on me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Top six is coming up, Vaughan, and a new wave of reality TV shows are coming. Yeah, apparently seniors don't feel that they are being represented in the reality TV game. Fair call. So they want some reality shows, which is all good by me. Yeah. Oh, my God. Because they are still watching television.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yeah. Everybody else maybe is moving away from your traditional terrestrial television. And I would totally watch them on reality TV. Yeah, so the top six senior reality TV shows that I've got on my drawing board are coming up in the top six. All right, ZM's $100,000 Secret Sound with Save My Bacon. Current jackpot, $51,000. Chances this morning during the show at seven and eight.
Starting point is 00:01:25 You're going to have a crack at that secret sound and win. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, you must deliberate and pick one headline only. That's how story time works. Headline one, passengers hold on for 10 hours.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Headline two, police crack the case. And headline three, bank regrets any inconvenience caused. Why hold on as in couldn't go away? Yes. For 10 hours. Was the toilet
Starting point is 00:02:01 broken on the plane? No. Was someone in the toilet? No. There was no toilet. There was a toilet. There were several toilets. Okay. What happened to the toilet? What happened?
Starting point is 00:02:15 I like the bank one too. Okay. What's the middle one? Police cracked the case. What do you want today, Vaughn? The toilet one. Okay. I think.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Story number one, please. Story number one. Okay. We go now to KLM Airlines, which on a recent flight to or from Korea. It was a 10-hour flight from Amsterdam to Seoul's airport on Monday. They are, KLM, are being accused of being discriminatory because they had a sign on the toilet in Korean saying that the lavatory was for crew members only because of fears of coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:03:05 For all of the toilets. Yeah, so apparently passengers, yeah. only because of coronavirus. Because of coronavirus. Yes. For all of the toilets. Yeah, so apparently passengers, yeah. That's more than discriminatory. I know. Basic human rights. They were only in Korean, the signs. They weren't in English.
Starting point is 00:03:20 So that's why people are like, come on, what are you doing? But I don't know if it's a crew member that's done this as opposed to the airline. Right. But they're having to deal with it now. They're saying it's a human mistake. We don't take it lightly. And we're deeply sorry. Yeah, because if you or I were on the plane, I wouldn't be able to read that.
Starting point is 00:03:41 So I'd just go the taller. Yeah, well, I just would have gone. But also, I just would have gone. But also, I just would have gone. Like, I would have made a scene. Like, what do you want me to do? Like, wee on the seat or the aisle? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Wow. And, like, 10-hour flight. Yeah. Because I don't know about plane routes. I always break the ceiling early on a plane. Yeah, me too. Especially a long flight. As soon as it takes off, I'm like, oh, need to go.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah. I never really thought about flying between Korea and Amsterdam. Why? I'm just looking up the flights now. You can do it. Yeah. You can. Ten hours? Eleven and a half hours is the fastest according to this.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Oh, okay. Oh, no, that's from Korea to Amsterdam. So maybe Amsterdam-Korea is faster because of the... It's going the other way. You just go up and let the earth spin underneath you. Yeah, pretty much. And yeah, yeah. It's a bit quicker, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah. And it's not too badly priced, $1,000. Mm. I mean, you've got to get to Korea first. You're looking at flights. To go on to Amsterdam. No, it's just, you know, these things interest me. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:46 ZM. Airbnb. If your folks are running an Airbnb in your bedroom because you moved out and wanted some more retirement money, if not buying a house in the sweet spot that was the 80s, it wasn't enough, and they're making some money off Airbnb, there's going to be some regulations coming into place by the looks of things. I've got friends that have their spare rooms on Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah. So what's the situation as it stands? Because surely you'd be running it like a business, right? Because then there's the ability to claim back expenses. And you would have expenses. Most people are just like, ah. Don't worry about that. Just do it. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Okay. I don't know, I think people are, and a lot of people do it like they get the lease of their house and that's bad, because some people have had to pay back what they've earned on Airbnb to the landlord doing that. Hold on. People have been subletting. Yeah. Have you not? There's always been in the news a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:05:46 And they've taken them to court or to tenancy or whatever. They've had to pay it back. 100% that's happened. In Wellington, I was reading an article that happened in Wellington. Because the landlord noticed the listing. Yeah, yeah. On the site. It was like, that's my house.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Because it's illegal, right? Subletting. Subletting's illegal. I don't think people, I don't think everyone knows that. So if you rent off someone, you then can't profit off that renting of that property because that doesn't belong to you.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Yeah, basically. But then it's hard because then if you've got a flat and your flatmates are way over summer and they're like, well, let's just make a bit of money off the room. Why shouldn't you? Is the flatmate allowed to rent it to somebody at the same price
Starting point is 00:06:27 just to cover their expenses? I mean, I don't think so. Or is that outside the agreement? I think that's still... Wow, okay. So apparently Airbnb is going to be becoming part of, like, the structure of how rentals and everything are run in New Zealand. So they'll be sharing information with the IRD.
Starting point is 00:06:45 With the IRD. With the IRD. So you're not going to be able to rent out something. Yeah. Okay, without the IRD knowing. Yeah. Oh, God, they... And regionally, there's going to be different...
Starting point is 00:06:55 It's not fun. Because places like Queenstown, where there's a horrendous shortage of actual accommodation for people who are living there and trying to work, and obviously that's... People need places to live when they're working down there and they need a lot of people working there for the tourism industry and surrounding areas.
Starting point is 00:07:11 So there's no places for them to live because the people who own the properties can make so much more money off Airbnb. But then that also competes against accommodation places. Yeah, and that's why a lot of big cities have banned Airbnbs. Is it Berlin? There's quite a few. Thailand? Bangkok? Yeah, and that's why a lot of big cities have banned Airbnb's. Yeah. Is it Berlin? There's quite a few. Thailand?
Starting point is 00:07:27 Bangkok? Yeah, Bangkok had banned them. We'd booked one when we were going there. Yeah. Started last year. Yeah. But then between us booking and us going, they banned them. And what did you...
Starting point is 00:07:38 So we had to be on the... Like, the guy said, oh, when you get here, don't say anything to anybody working in reception. Oh, wait, did he still stay there? Yeah. Don't say anything to anybody working in reception. If you've got any questions, call this number, your friends. You're our friends. This is my name.
Starting point is 00:07:55 This is my wife's name. If anybody asks, address us by our first names. Pretend you're our friends. Whoa. Wow. Imagine if your whole family got to prison For staying at an Airbnb I know You get to stay in the Bangkok

Starting point is 00:12:40 And it gets out of the wall. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and out of the wall. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering phase four. This is the post. Phase four. Post Avengers Endgame world.
Starting point is 00:12:58 We had Spider-Man. Yep. Far from home, but apparently that was tagged onto the end of phase three. Black Widow's coming But of course Spoiler alert Give it a beat Give that a beat
Starting point is 00:13:10 She died in Endgame And she's not coming back So this is set before Endgame somewhere Why did they do that? So that technically might do Phase 3 as well I think she'd I think all the people that died in The last one
Starting point is 00:13:23 Had probably had enough of playing the characters that have been playing them for so long. Like Robert Downey Jr. who had been Iron Man for 10 years. Same with Chris. One of the Chrises. Evans. Evans, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 There's so many Chrises that play superheroes. So the next major one is going to be the Eternals. It's a little bit different. They're kind of like an offshoot of humanity who live forever that have been like on the moon or something. Or just milling around. Why weren't they helping out?
Starting point is 00:13:52 I know. During Endgame. They could have really used their help. They sound like my kind of superheroes. And lazy. Just hiding around. Just like we could go and help, but it's so far away to Earth. Just waiting.
Starting point is 00:14:07 So it is going to feature, the Eternals movie is going to feature the first gay kiss in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's going to be between two dudes as well. Yes. Okay. Because Star Wars had one that was two females. Oh, because I thought those other two guys were going to hook up in Star Wars and you were was two females oh because I thought those other two guys
Starting point is 00:14:26 were going to hook up in Star Wars and you were like everybody thought they were going to hook up but then in the last one Rise of the Skywalker
Starting point is 00:14:33 Poe had a whole romance with Kerry Russell Felicity she was the one that was under that helmet that's right yeah so also adding to it it's going to be
Starting point is 00:14:42 a gay kiss it's going to be two guys one of the actors identifies as a queer Muslim actor. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:49 So he's going to be involved in the first man-on-man kiss. He said it's already been filmed. So what kind of kiss? Like, is it, oh, you've got details? Well, no, it's important to know what kind, Megan. It could just be a little peck on the cheek. Like, I'll see you after work. Love you.
Starting point is 00:15:02 It's been, which is far more real. Yeah. If they've been together you after work. Love you. It's been, which is far more real. Yeah. If they've been together for a while. See you later. What do you want for dinner? I don't, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I don't care. No, no, it doesn't worry me. The 43-year-old said it's been filmed and it was a beautiful, very moving kiss and everyone on set cried.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Aww. Yep. What was happening around it? Is it like the end of days kind of kiss? Well, that makes it sound like someone's dying, right? Yeah, someone's, yeah. Like they're bleeding out, they have a gay kiss, and then they drop dead.
Starting point is 00:15:38 They have a gay kiss? They have a gay kiss. I'm bleeding out. They just have a kiss. I'm dying. Try the gay kiss. And that doesn't work. They just have a kiss. I'm dying. Try the gay kiss. No. And that doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:15:47 That did nothing. Yeah, right. Yeah, so it's going to be in the... Right. In the eternal... Well, that'll get some people riled up. That's good. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I like when something as simple as two consenting growing adults because it gets people riled up. Exactly. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. There's a scam going around. consent and growing adults because it gets people riled up. Exactly. There's a scam going around. You need to be aware of this. This one's been taken down, but this one,
Starting point is 00:16:15 these sorts of things pop up all the time. And if this sounds familiar, like you filled your details out for it, or you saw your parents share it, or someone in your life share it. You might need to do something. I don't know who's falling for this. Like, don't people do that?
Starting point is 00:16:31 I mean, I'm the worst at maths. But even I know that this maths doesn't add up. So there was a fake ad. It said, pack and save. We're giving away a $1,000 voucher per household to celebrate 35 years in business. So you couldn't be greedy and go on and claim it for multiple people in the same household. But if you went and filled it in because you have been identified as a daily visitor,
Starting point is 00:16:53 we will give you $1,000 to spend at Pack and Save. A daily visitor? Yeah. So maybe people thought that not everyone was getting this email. No, it was a Facebook email. So there are... No, it was a Facebook ad. Oh, it was... One of those pop up.
Starting point is 00:17:08 You know, and it's like, it's a Facebook page, and it'll say, like, pack and save, and it'll be yellow, but then when you see the address, it'll be, like, facebook.com slash pack dot n dot save 84762, or, like, there's some obvious things to look out for that makes them fake. Or you click on the page and it's got like 300 likes and no blue tick. Whereas Pack and Save will have thousands and thousands of likes and a blue tick. But also, I've just done the maths.
Starting point is 00:17:39 There are 1.549 million households in New Zealand. So even if you estimated that there were one or two million households in New Zealand. So even if you estimated that there were 1 or 2 million households in New Zealand and they were giving away $1,000 per household It's over a billion dollars. It's ridiculous. So how many 1, 2, like I've got 154 and then 1, 2,
Starting point is 00:17:58 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 digits. 15 billion? 15 billion. 1.5 billion. I don't think Pack and Save15 billion? $15 billion. I mean... $1.5 billion. I don't think Pack and Save can afford $1.5 billion. I mean, they're doing okay. They're doing great.
Starting point is 00:18:09 They're doing okay. But do they have enough to give away $1.5 billion in free vouchers? Probably not, no. So, you're just going to be wary of these sorts of things. If it doesn't add up or it seems too good to be true, yeah, it's probably too good to be true. Because you've got to say something when you see your auntie or your mum or whoever share one of those Land Rover.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And there's heaps of them, flight centre vouchers. A couple of weeks ago there was a real spurt of these and they were all, we've given this away, but Christy of Nelson hasn't answered her phone or got back in touch with us. So if you'd like to win this caravan, this huge little home caravan type thing,
Starting point is 00:18:49 just simply share and comment and like our page. Man, I saw so many people sharing those. I know. People fall for it all the time. But I guess it was a little bit more believable because it was just the one of them and they were like, this was a prize, but nobody won. Nobody picked it up.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Come on. And come on, that's not believable. What boomer is winning a caravan and not picking it up? I know. That'd be there in a heartbeat. Welcome to the Fleeche Warner Megan podcast, brought to you by McCafe, for great barista-made coffee on the go. We've just had a message in from Ray Ray.
Starting point is 00:19:27 All she wrote was, yep. Well, that's a classic mum response. She's got things to do, she's busy. Well, Megan's parents are into something new. We're going to talk about this soon on the show. Soundkeeper Gary, good morning. Morning, guys. All right, so $51,000.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Still haven't budged from $51,000? I'm happy at $51,000. That's still lifeged from $51,000. I'm happy at $51,000. That's still life-changing, so let's do that. It is. Hayden, $51,000. Is that life-changing enough? It will be, mate, yeah. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:53 All right, so here is the sound. $51,000. It's all yours. You've just got to tell us what the sound is. I reckon it's a box taper taping up a flat pack box. Oh, like those, it's like a handle with the tape on it. Yeah, it's got the fin on it. You stretch it out and then you just... It does sound like that.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah, you're slapping it on the box and then dragging the tape out. Oh, yeah, that's a really good guess. Yeah, because when you stretch it out, it's like... Yeah. Yeah. So just confirming the action there, Hayden, you have to slap on the tape first, then pull it? Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Action's very important. Hayden? Yeah? Action's very important Hayden Yeah That's not the secret sound That was such a good guess though That was so good Hayden Back to work then Yeah back to work Back to work
Starting point is 00:20:57 Sorry about that mate Sorry mate ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast There's a guy by the name of Walter Semkiew. Semkiew? It's S-E-M-K-I-W. Semkiew?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Semkiew. Why are you singing it? Because it's like keel. Semkiew. Keel. Semkiew. Walter is his name. How terrible is that person at the airport?
Starting point is 00:21:22 Because do you notice when there's like 10 passengers that haven't boarded yet and you can always hear that little pause before they get to the person with the hard name. I just hit it hard and be real confident. Bing bong. We're just still waiting on passengers. Stephen, Elliot, Christine, tree, mic tissue box, and weedy moo, I'm Tuckermina Moo. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:21:55 They massacre the names. You're like, oh, no. Weery moo. Weery moo. If I was Weery Moo, I just wouldn't go out of protest Get my name right and then I'll be there Wittamoo Um
Starting point is 00:22:12 Wittamoo Wittamoo Gate 7 Come on Wittamoo Your flight's boarding So Walter Please just Don't laugh straight away. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:28 Okay. Walter believes in reincarnation and has been studying it for a long time. Now, he has said that in between lifetimes, we have soul group partners and we plan a group incarnation on earth. And that's, we plan where we incarnation on earth and that's we plan where we're going to incarnate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:51 He's saying that you enter your lives or your next life with your friends. Oh my god, what if I'm sick of my friends? What if I've got a rubbish group of friends? I wonder if that means we're stuck with you forever. And what if we won't come back
Starting point is 00:23:07 as humans? We could come back as birds. As hedgehogs. No, I don't. I think he means people. Nah, that's the thing about reincarnation. No, you should come back as a moth. As anything. What if we come back as a dolphin? No, you come back as what you've earned.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Oh, what does that mean? What? That's why, what religion is it that believes in reincarnation? The seven, is it Hindu? And they say you come back next time as what you've earned in this life. Right, so that's why I do a lot of charity work. That's why, yeah, yeah. So I'll be a caring, thoughtful, and patient.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah. Well known for that. Yeah. You'll come back as. Okay. Yeah. You'll come back as... Okay. You're going to come back as a cicada. I'm going to come back as a ferris wheel or something, aren't I? And everyone's going to have to sit on me.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Or is it only living things? I think you've done enough of that in this life, to be honest. You're cheeky. And people are like, ah, let me off. That's off. And you've got some real, like, questionable safety practices. But how does that work, say? Because we don't all die at the same time.
Starting point is 00:24:15 No, maybe you just have to hang around and wait. So do we all have to wait until we've all... There's a few gaps to this story. Oh, yeah, obviously. But do you just wait in this kind of waiting room until all of your friends have died and then you go into the next life at the same time? And then they format you so you can't remember anything from last time.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Like a USB. You pop you all down and you find each other. No, but some kids remember. You'd be hard to eject. You know, all those stories about those kids that start talking about crazy past lives that they should know nothing about. That's some freaky stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:44 That happens. I've read freaky stuff. That happens. I've read some of those stories. Freaky kids. Yeah. And Kim Kardashian and her family believe that Sam is their dad, Reign Karnadish. Yeah, okay, so it promotes slim tea. So let's calm down on taking their word for anything other than bullshit.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I'm just saying I'm open to it because you know I'm open to anything you of all people shouldn't be you'll get stuck with us again you should be like actively protesting against this being a thing
Starting point is 00:25:12 I hate it yeah I'm not down for it ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast Elton John the concert that was to be tonight Tuesday
Starting point is 00:25:21 has been rescheduled till tomorrow doctor's orders yes and then Thursday's should still go ahead Tonight, Tuesday, has been rescheduled till tomorrow. Doctor's orders. Yes. And then Thursdays should still go ahead. So they say. I just don't know how, with pneumonia,
Starting point is 00:25:36 he's even contemplating doing it tomorrow night, even with this gap. Well, yeah, and we've all lost our voice, right, and been sick. It doesn't just take a day or two. And we don't sing for like three hours. But even if he manages to get up on stage and do tomorrow's show,
Starting point is 00:25:47 is he going to be able to back it up straight away the next day with another one? I mean, I hope so. I feel sorry for everybody because so many people at the concert on Sunday had come from out of town.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Some of them flying in for the weekend. But wouldn't you rather, this is what I don't understand, wouldn't you rather if you were flying up and you'd paid for the flights and accommodation and everything, wouldn't you rather, this is what I don't understand, wouldn't you rather, if you were flying up and you'd paid for the flights and accommodation and everything, wouldn't you rather see 17 songs, an hour and a half from Elton,
Starting point is 00:26:10 than nothing? And that's the thing. He did 16 out of his 25 songs, they're saying. I don't feel like I want a refund. I'm not that fussed about it. Like, it happens. Yeah. It would have been nice to get a few more songs. But then if there's seats
Starting point is 00:26:25 available for tomorrow night and Thursday but you couldn't afford to go and you could get a refund so you could buy tickets to that night. Oh, yeah, true. Yeah, true. Let's see how some people might want a refund so they could actually see the whole show. Well, some people are and it
Starting point is 00:26:41 did take a while because I don't think when people saw him on stage crying and upset, people weren't like, I need a refund. They went to bed and woke up the next morning and were like, okay, now I need a refund. I've pushed the vision of a 72-year-old crying man who gave it everything he has. I've pushed it right to the back of my brain and minimalised it,
Starting point is 00:27:02 and now I want my money. So Consumer New Zealand's head of research, Jessica Wilson, has told media that concert goers, she believes, are in fact entitled to request a partial refund following Sunday night's show being cut short. How are they going to work out a partial refund? Everyone else is just like, you know, the entertainment company and Ticketmaster are just like, what?
Starting point is 00:27:26 Well, technically, you still saw a show. And it wasn't as if it was like 20 minutes or half an hour. Yeah, you still saw a good chunk of it. If there were like four songs, I can understand wanting a refund or the show being rescheduled. He performed for longer than I think Justin Bieber did when I saw him here. And probably better. But what about the fact that these were the songs we missed out on? Yeah, but...
Starting point is 00:27:51 Daniel, don't let the sun go down on me. Bitch is back. I'm still standing. Crocodile Rock. Saturday Night. Your song, the solo, and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Bangers, bangers, bangers, bangers, bangers, bangers. But you can never guarantee that when you go to a concert,
Starting point is 00:28:06 they are going to do the songs that you love anyway. You never guarantee. Yeah, that's true. You don't sign up knowing what's going to be sung. I mean, you have a fair idea, especially with the greatest hits. The show promoter spoke to Newstalk ZB on Monday night, last night, and said there won't be refunds. They said that the show was just six songs short of a full set.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Ticketmaster made no comment on Monday. Six songs short. Consumer NZ were like, you should be able to. So I don't know if people are going to go ahead and try it on. That's interesting, though, because you said, what, 16 or 17 out of 25. That's not six songs short. Well, yeah, that's true, yeah. Are they not banking on people looking at the set list online?
Starting point is 00:28:54 Well, because that's what we've done. Yeah, yeah. I was going from what happened in Dunedin. Yeah, right. Interesting. Right, so they're saying that you should, in the first instance, go to the ticket agent, the place where you bought your ticket from. If you have purchased tickets online, like Trade Me, from someone else,
Starting point is 00:29:10 you're probably a bit screwed. But yeah, you should try, I guess, Ticketmaster first. Well, if you feel that strongly about it, give it a burn. Give it a nudge, yeah. I don't know, it seems like a lot of admin. Already, I just can't be bothered. You've tripped me over with admin. Although I did pay for your ticket,
Starting point is 00:29:30 so I could get a partial refund for both and not tell you and pocket the money. And you did just make it seem like it was going to be too much work, which immediately put me off from further input. So I could easily get away with a sweep. How much do you reckon we'd get? I don't know. How are they even going to work that out?
Starting point is 00:29:50 I know, yeah, that's the thing, yeah. Ticket prices were all different. What an absolute nightmare, eh? Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, it's streaming now on Amazon Prime from the Matt Damon, Jason Bourne universe, Treadstone. Tell me about Treadstone. Treadstone, What is that?
Starting point is 00:30:06 The ultimate weapon. They don't even know they've got these skills. They're a cadre of sleeper agents deployed under normal cover lives with no memory of their training. These people are still out there, asleep. And someone's waking them up. Please don't make me do this.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Action! Action! Action! Pat! And someone's waking them up. Please don't make me do this. Action packed. Action packed. And joining us on the phone, the star of Treadstone, Jeremy Irvine. Good morning. Hey, guys. How are we? Hi. Really good.
Starting point is 00:30:35 This is nice. This is weird. I mean, I'm so used to chatting to you guys on DMs on Instagram. This feels actually kind of odd talking to you. I know. I would say face to face, but voice to voice. Voice to voice odd talking to you. I know. I would say face to face but voice to voice. Voice to voice. Using telephones.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I know. I've gone through this 10 year farce of becoming an actor just so I can go on my favourite radio show. Oh, that's such a greaser.
Starting point is 00:30:56 What a charming lad. But finally, we've managed to have a conversation and it's because of Treadstone, this TV show on Amazon Prime. Yes, the Jason Bourne series, which, yeah, as you said,
Starting point is 00:31:10 is out on Amazon Prime. But as I also told you on Instagram, that's not what I want to come on the show for. I want to come and talk about your pubic hair habits and all the usual stuff, which is what I tune in for usually. Yes. So, you know, if we could just skip over this whole bit of me, like, you know, toting my show around.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Well, Megan's lasered. As fast as we can to get onto the good stuff. Megan's lasered all of hers off. Hey! So have you. No, he's only lasered his back. I actually... His back door pubes.
Starting point is 00:31:36 I know he's heard this chat before, but I actually feel uncomfortable talking about it in front of Jeremy right now. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, what's weird is like the places where you have told me all about your pubes. You know, I've been on aeroplanes or, you know, I've been in like, I've been at work,
Starting point is 00:31:52 in like a work environment, listening to you guys talk about your pubes. So to me, this is fantastic. This really is a dream come true. I don't know if I should feel like that's a major accomplishment or if I should feel like that's a major accomplishment or if I should be embarrassed
Starting point is 00:32:06 yeah but Treadstone Vaughn has legit watched it and he really liked it I sat up late to get it done to finish it so I felt like I'd done all my homework
Starting point is 00:32:16 sweet man thank you it was a lot of fun to shoot we shot for it was a whole year of filming in Budapest I was going to say I think Fletch was there over the summer.
Starting point is 00:32:26 We tried to hang out, but it didn't work out. Yeah, it's a gift. A whole year of filming. Yeah. I know. I'd see your stories. And yeah, you were there for so long. And for what?
Starting point is 00:32:35 How many episodes were up? I was there for so long. Ten? It's like ten episodes. But the way that TV is now, like the budget they throw at these things is like doing movies. So it's like shooting 10 movies and this was, I mean, this was crazy, you know, I mean, I'm very
Starting point is 00:32:49 lucky, I've been in a few, like, big films but this was kind of next level budget, we had, we were shooting all over the world and, like, five different crews, like, one would be in the Arctic Circle the other would be in, like, Columbia in the rainforest and I'd be stuck in Budapest the whole time
Starting point is 00:33:05 but it was it was cool it was really cool In the show you do lots of fighting there's heaps of fights and stunts you must have done some like tactical weapons training is that like a pretty cool part of being an actor getting to do all that
Starting point is 00:33:21 fun stuff? Yeah I love all that stuff I mean who wouldn't all that sort of stuff that you pretend to do all that fun stuff? Yeah, I love all that stuff. I mean, because who wouldn't? It's sort of like all that sort of stuff that you pretend to do in your garden when you're sort of seven or eight years old. But, yeah, I love all that stuff. I went to a school that was quite sort of big on the old sort of army and military stuff. So, yeah, it was kind of fun. I wanted to go into the army before I got into being an actor.
Starting point is 00:33:40 So I always like playing with the – it's always fun to play with guns in that way i mean i'm very anti people having them but on a film son it's uh on a film set it's kind of fun um so yeah i mean it's great but it's also these funny like action sequences you'd think would be the most fun to shoot and actually they take so long like it's it's long stuff and we did everything everything that you see on the screen in Treadstone, we actually did for real. So it's all, you know, it's not CGI. All the action stuff actually happened, which is great, but it does mean it takes forever,
Starting point is 00:34:16 and, you know, you're constantly getting injured. I punched a stunt guy's teeth out, and my stunt double got pretty beaten up as well. And, yeah, we had some shockers, but I don't know. It's, you know, obviously it's, yeah, I mean, it's great fun. I'm talking it down. It's a lot of fun, especially when you're running across rooftops. That's what I like about, about your Instagram though.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Cause like you put up a, you learning to do one of the scenes in Treadstone, right? Oh yeah. Yeah. Like the little fight videos and stuff. Yeah, you do little behind-the-scenes, and then you were on the red carpet ages ago, and you're just hanging out with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan and stuff, and you give quite a bit of insight into behind-the-scenes.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I love it. Well, I hope so, because seeing as the industry I've been in for, I mean, probably most people in New Zealand won't know this, but I've been doing this for 10 years now, so it's been fun. I mean, the film you in New Zealand won't know this, but I've been doing this for 10 years now, so it's been, yeah, it's been fun. I mean, the film you're talking about is Mamma Mia, which, by the way, Megan, I hear you're not the biggest fan.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Oh, my God. I mean, what were you expecting? Henry V? Not Shakespeare, darling. It's bloody, it's Mamma Mia 2. To be fair, I It's bloody Mamma Mia 2. To be fair, I hadn't seen Mamma Mia 1, so I was playing catch-up as well. Yeah, I mean, honestly, you don't need to see Mamma Mia 1
Starting point is 00:35:34 to get the gist of what's happening in Mamma Mia 2. I mean, it's ABBA singing sort of held together by a very loose plot. And, yeah. But, look, I'll do my best. One day, hopefully,
Starting point is 00:35:48 Megan, I'll do something that you approve of. I'll keep striving. I'm still like so jealous that you were in a movie with Meryl Streep. Did you guys like?
Starting point is 00:35:57 And Cher. Yeah, she's great. And Cher. These guys are fizzing about you being in there with Cher. That's crazy. What would that does right?
Starting point is 00:36:03 Meryl Streep is lovely and everyone was great on that. Just awesome. Like awesome. Like really crazy. What were their days like? Meryl Streep was lovely and everyone was great on that. Just awesome. Like, awesome. Like, really cool. I mean, the only, I guess the only difference when Cher came on set,
Starting point is 00:36:12 she sort of had her own, like, you have what sort of, you have sort of unit base, which is where everyone's trailers are. Yeah. And it was all sort of normal. And then Cher showed up and suddenly another unit base
Starting point is 00:36:24 sort of appeared with, of course, a few trailers. Sheer land. it was all sort of normal and then Cher showed up and suddenly another unit base sort of appeared with a few trailers. Sheer land. Yeah, Sheer land, exactly. Sheer trailer park. I want to come to New Zealand. I've never been. I've never been to the NZ. So I was really hoping that maybe I've got a nose
Starting point is 00:36:38 probably big enough for the Lord of the Rings TV series. They're looking and that's going to be a big one and not too far from my house. They've got a honker big enough.
Starting point is 00:36:48 So if you want, if you wanted to, I don't know, crash for a, I'll say a week tops. I don't want to. Absolute max. Don't say that.
Starting point is 00:36:55 That's so much more generous than I've ever with people. But thank you. I will. I just don't want to stay with the cows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If it's like one night
Starting point is 00:37:03 in your house then another night in the smallholding, I'm all right. I'd love to come and meet you guys in person one day. It'd be a dream come true. Absolutely, our pleasure. Thanks so much for chatting to us.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Treadstone is on Amazon Prime now. Ten episodes. Get out there and give it a good binge. Thank you so much. Thanks, Jeremy. Thank you, Jeremy. All right, that's enough. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan

Starting point is 00:37:50 That's terrifying. Because I was a grown adult when you got married, and that was 10 years ago. Time doesn't slow down, guys. Yeah. What do you, before we get into this list, what would your number one be? I don't know Do as you're told Okay
Starting point is 00:38:08 Do as you're told Well it's working I mean I'm just wondering It's working obviously isn't it? Yeah So do as you're told I don't know Yeah right
Starting point is 00:38:16 Be annoying That seems to be something I do That works That's not driven her away Be super cute That's pretty helpful Yeah that's pretty helpful That's pretty helpful. Yeah, that's pretty helpful. That's pretty helpful.
Starting point is 00:38:26 Yeah, right. Yeah, leave stuff on the bench. Lots of stuff on the bench. Lots of stuff on the bench. Just get home and just put everything in your hands on the bench. But I like leaving stuff on the bench. Me too, because then you know where it is. It's on the bench.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Yeah, that's what it's for, stuff. What are you leaving on the bench? You name it. If I carry it in, I'm leaving it on the bench. No, I leave the bag on the floor at the end of the bench. Okay. Because that's good. It'll be there the next day when I get up to go to work.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Oh, my God. Well, that's like you're trading her keys, wallet, mail. You need to keep her keen. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's lasted this long, but... Messy side of the bed. Every year is an amazing achievement.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah, that's like... I'm taking, like, clothes off and being like, don't wash those. I might wear them tomorrow. Okay, yeah. Any of these on the list of the... You're playing it fast and loose, are you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:12 No, none of these are surprisingly, they're not on the list. I'm going to go from nine to one. Okay. Nine. The nine lessons on how they've made their marriage work for 17 years. Make your marriage your highest priority. Oh, yeah. Number eight, want the other person to win.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Who's wanting them to lose? No, no, no, not against each other. You just want them to win. It's just being supportive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being supportive and yeah, exactly. You want them to be great at whatever they do. That's totally. But you can still beat them at Pictionary and Monopoly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Oh, yeah. And arguments. That would actually be another point of mine. Don't play games. Yeah. Don't play board games. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Cranium specifically. Seven is hold each other to a high ass standard. But I don't think that's happening in your marriage. What? Like, what do you hold them to be like, this bench needs to be tidy.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. No, she says that all the time. Cleanliness is godliness. And I'm like, yeah, I will. And then I run away and hide in the, not tidy their bench. Yeah. But do they mean that in a different way? Maybe?
Starting point is 00:40:23 Hold each other to a higher standard. Yeah. Like, they mean that in a different way? Maybe? Hold each other to a higher standard. Yeah. Like, always expect the best. How are you interpreting that? Like, more of a, like, morals and a, you know, like, that kind of thing. Oh, yeah, maybe. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yeah. Expect the best. Yeah. Like, you know, they don't cheat on you and stuff. Oh, that's always, yeah. Oh, that's just a given? Yeah. Number six is forgive mistakes fast.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Oh, like don't hold on to them. Yeah, because I always read it's not how often or how much you argue, it's how quickly you make up and you get over the arguments. Yeah, right. Yeah. Be a good leader and a good follower. I don't know what that means. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:41:02 That means share responsibility, right? Like some things you're the leader in, you're the boss dog in, and then when they're boss, be a good follower. Right. Do what you're told. Oh yeah, that's a good one. Remember when I said do what you're told? Yeah. You had one of them.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Yeah. So this is the nine lessons that a couple have learnt over their 17 years of marriage. We're up to number four. Be honest, especially when it's hard. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, that's... Lie, but make it seem like you're being honest.
Starting point is 00:41:32 No. Especially when it's hard. No, because I can already think of a couple of things that if he'd just told me, it would have been fine. Oh, like what? Remember when... Did I talk about this on here? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:44 I can't remember. Maybe I was. Tell us. I can't remember. Maybe I was. Tell us. It's just us. No. It's just born in me. I'm pretty sure there was an ex that I didn't know was an ex.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Oh, I know. We hung out all the time. And then you found out there had been a history. Yes. I was like, should have been told by you, not by your friends on a drunken evening. Number three, lift each other up. Okay. That's like, want each other to win though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:13 That's like, be the biggest cheerleader. Tom and Lisa are... Are doubling up here. Don't double up, Tom and Lisa. It's really eight, Lisa. You're just trying to stretch it to nine. Number two is communicate obsessively. Just like talk, communicate.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Because then there's no room for anyone misunderstanding anything. Yeah. Because it's just talked about straight away. Yeah. And no silent treatments. Man, that's my favorite thing to do though. How good is a silent treatment? It's so effective.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Such a treat. And number one, this is the nine lessons that this couple have learned over 17 years of marriage. The number one lesson is have sex often. Good, okay, good. Everyone's just nodding in the studio. Yeah, good. It's fun. It's an enjoyable thing to do, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yes. It's a great way to spend a couple of minutes. Four play included. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Is that a way to spend a couple of minutes? Foreplay included. Not allowed to take the piss out of my parents. Okay. But I had a chat with mum yesterday, caught up, she was telling me what's up with them. She was in a very cheery mood
Starting point is 00:43:23 and she said, you'll never guess what me and your father have done. And I was like, no, I'm not even going to guess. Because it's, bear in mind, they're nudists. Yeah. Naturalists. Naturalists. They're very relaxed, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Open people. Yeah. It could be anything. Yes. I'd be worried at this point in the conversation. Yeah, so she was like, well, me and your father, we've been meditating. And not only, they haven't been doing it at home. They decided to go to like the Buddhist temple down the road.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Right. And go and meditate for an hour. How did they get into this? Because I couldn't imagine my parents sitting still for an hour. No. Not my mum. Both of them are always doing something. They've always got to be doing something.
Starting point is 00:44:17 If they're not working, they're pottering. Yeah. Doing something. So, yeah, no, she said that her friend had done it. Yeah. And she swears by it for aches and pains and all kinds of things. Right. Well, a little bit of clarity, a little bit of mental rest.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Yeah. So, they went and did it and they went for an hour. They did an hour of meditation. I've tried. Have you ever tried? I've tried the app and everything. I get real bored. My brain races. But that's the whole point is you get better at it. One time I freaked myself out. Why?
Starting point is 00:44:50 I started thinking all like deep, super deep. Is that a scary place in your mind? Yeah, I was a little bit freaked out and then I was just like... The whole point is to try and train yourself to think about nothing. It's very hard to think about nothing. Super hard. So she said. It's very hard to think about nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Super hard. So she said they did it. She loved it. And then afterwards, she was like, they give you a meal too for a gold coin donation. They had lovely salads and breads. Okay. She loved it. Some dahl.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Then she had the best night's sleep ever. And I was like. Relax, set them on. Good on you for trying something completely out of your comfort zone. So are they going to go back? Yeah, 100%. Now, she said that there's also an option
Starting point is 00:45:33 there where they, I can't remember what she called it, they play drums or some kind of instrument. Singing bowls. Singing bowls. My mother-in-law, surprise, surprise, she did a singing bowls course
Starting point is 00:45:49 in Nepal. Yeah, she sat one on my bald head once and played it. What did it do? It's just like the vibrations. I get the vibrations from the sound. I think they're very relaxing, sounding and nice in the sound,
Starting point is 00:46:02 but she was telling me it was healing, man. I was like, give me a break. Was it growing your hair back? No. No. As you can see. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:09 But, yeah, the healing vibrations are. Right. So they're going to go back and try that. They come in all shapes and sizes. There's big enough. They sink the sinking bowls and they sit in them and they're wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah. Like a big adult Anne Giddies.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Wah, wah. Yes. And you're a big, beautiful nude baby. Yeah. Why are you nude? Meditating. Because all the Anne Giddies babies Wow. Yes. And you're a big, beautiful nude baby. Why are you nude? Meditating. Because all the Anne Giddies babies are nude. Oh, don't get nude at the Buddhist temple, I don't think. No.
Starting point is 00:46:32 No. Well, good on them. I know. And they're going to keep going back. And she said she had a great night's sleep, so I was like, well, whatever works. I was just proud of them for giving it a burn. Now there's one on this afternoon.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Is there? Yep. If you just Google. Singing bowls or just... 5.30 there's the free meditation and mindfulness training at the Nelson Buddhist Centre. I think you should do this, Vaughan. Then tomorrow they've got the Dharma Clinic.
Starting point is 00:46:56 What's that? Jeffrey Dharma, is it? You learn about it. I don't know. Famous serial killer Jeffrey Dharma. I don't know. Yeah. Unsure.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Well, good on them. Yeah. But I thought off the back of this, I'd love to know what your parents have gotten into a little bit later in life. Especially a year later in life because it might be a complete different change because, you know, the kids move out of home.
Starting point is 00:47:17 Maybe they retire or semi-retire and they take up a new hobby, which is bizarre. Yeah. It's a little bit left to centre, but I thought that, like, they would. Especially because you're used to your parents just being stuck in their ways. They do the same thing.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Yeah. And they don't really change. Yeah. But then why would they? Because they're comfortable. But then maybe they do, they find a new hobby. Yeah, I'm quite proud of them for that. It's the hobbies that are generally most unexpected.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Because your mum's always golfed though, hasn't she? Does she still golf? No, she didn't always golf. But when did she take that up? When you all moved out of home? Yeah, the last few years. No, she's been playing golf a lot lately. I've been very busy.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Travelling. Yeah. Getting around. Spending all that inheritance. All right, well, give us a call. 0800-DANCE-IT-M 9696. Have your parents taken up a new hobby
Starting point is 00:48:09 and what was it? Megan's parents have taken up meditation. Yeah, Dad wants me to say it's you've got the wrong place for and they're going to the Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Centre. I was looking at the Nelson Buddhist Centre.
Starting point is 00:48:26 So there's a couple competing. Is there any sort of inter-Buddhist beef? I don't know. I mean, they don't eat beef. I don't think they have beef. I think it goes against... Yeah, they're too chilled out to have beef. Maybe they have a singing bowl off. BONG!
Starting point is 00:48:39 WOW! What you got, fool? BING! BING! BING! BING! BING! BING!

Starting point is 00:50:51 Okay. Because I don't – I mean, sometimes if I'll be doing a hike or whatever, and you see like a wood pigeon, I'm always like, ooh, it's a wood pigeon. Or you see a pretty bird, you're like, that's a pretty bird. But that's the extent of it for me. I can't understand why people would want to get out binoculars and sit and wait for birds and look at them. You know? Yeah, so I'm sort of the baby.
Starting point is 00:51:11 So when I left home, I guess she's got more time on her hands. So she's made friends with another lady down the road and they go out on these hikes together. And she's got a nice fancy camera that she takes around with her now and tries to take photos of them before they fly away and it's all very exciting. And do you give her a call and she's like, the weather's great and then she's like,
Starting point is 00:51:34 I saw a kitty-doo today? Yeah, yeah. I'll often, if I'm out and about and I see like a tui in the garden or something, I'll try and take a photo and send it to her and be like, you won't believe what bird I saw. Mum, you won't believe it. She's like, it's cute.
Starting point is 00:51:50 It's cute. She's like, those stock standard losers are everywhere. Wow. Brilliant. Lauren, thanks for your call. Madison, what did your parents get into? So my parents about a year, got into F45. Oh, do they tell you all about it?
Starting point is 00:52:10 They do, they do, but they also go at 5.45 in the morning, so I am asleep and I don't hear about it that much. Wait, do they put up their heart rate and stuff on Instagram? My dad measures his heart rate, but he's not really an Instagrammer. I think, you know, 48 is a little bit... Out of Instagram's demo. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah, yeah, a little bit out of Instagram. You've got to put it somewhere. You've got to do the screencap of the Lionheart and put it on the grant. I think it just comes to email. He just, you know, shares it with the family about how exciting his heart rate is. He prints it out.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Old school. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, just by word of mouth. Right. And so, mum and dad getting ripped? Yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I went, you know, for about a month with them. And the first couple of times, I genuinely thought I was going to vomit. So, I was like, oh, you know, this is too much. Go, you guys. Good on you. Brilliant. is too much for me. Go, you guys. Good on you. Brilliant. Madison, thanks for your call. Blair, what did mum take up as a hobby?
Starting point is 00:53:12 Yeah, mum took up drums at like 60 years old for about five years. Drums? Like a drum kit or like marching drums? No, like full on drum kit in like the lounge of the house there. Yeah, full on. With the intention of like being in. Yeah, full-on. Wow. With the intention of, like, being in a band or, like, just for fun? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I don't know. Like, she was in the brass band. Thought it would be brass to drums. It's a bit different, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's all music, baby. I could just imagine her doing that Phil Collins. It was hilarious going home to be fair. God, did the neighbours hate it? Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Well, they were pretty far away, so it was all right. Oh, okay. Rural mum. Yeah, nice. Thanks, you called back. Rural drum mum. Lisa, you're the parent that's taken up something. What did you take up?
Starting point is 00:53:56 Well, when my youngest child left home, I was down living in Cappity, and so I'd gone to Wellington, and I got into stand-up comedy. What? Oh, wow. Wow. What a thing to just jump into.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Had you always had an interest in that or you just thought you'd give it a burn? Yeah, I'd always wanted to but I'd never been brave enough and also I was too tired, you know. Wow, and so do you do it quite a bit or did you just do it a couple of times or? Yeah, I got really into it. I did an hour show in the Fringe Fest,
Starting point is 00:54:29 and I won an emerging performer award. Oh, my God. An hour. Yeah. Look at that. That's amazing, Lisa. Awesome. Yeah, it's really good fun.
Starting point is 00:54:39 I recommend it. I still wouldn't do it, but I'll take your word for it. Lisa, thanks for your call. Some other text messages. My mum never once cooked or mentioned an interest in Chinese food when I lived at home, but she has informed me that she's been doing a Chinese cooking class night school for a little while.
Starting point is 00:54:56 So she's into Asian cuisine now. My mum joined two colouring in groups. Oh yeah, adult colouring in. I like that. It's very soothing for in groups. Oh, yeah. Just get together and do colouring in and chat. I like that. It's very soothing for the mind. Again, another one soothing for the mind. My Burma parents took up yoga.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Did it regularly, really enjoyed it until someone let out a little fart and my dad couldn't stop laughing and they got kicked out and told not to come back. That's a bit rough. Yeah, that's a bit rough. My parents, after years of being anti any kind of drug, took up cannabis use recreationally after we moved out. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Best thing that's ever happened in my life. Are they just super chill now? The message must have just been super chill. It'd be weird going back to mum and dad's place and they've got a Bob Marley flag on the wall. They'd be like, did you burn the chips? Sorry, dad, I forgot the chips. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:55:42 $100,000 secret sound chips. Oh, man. All thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. Soundkeeper Gary. Hey, guys, how we doing? Good, good, mate. Wonderful. $51,000, the current jackpot,
Starting point is 00:56:03 and still, no, you're not budging on that? Not budging on it, but I am thinking, who do you think would be an ideal person to win fifty one thousand dollars like someone who just like no oh okay like someone who's like done in their homework and like read all the clues or just someone who just randomly picks up the phone and goes oh i might just play this anyway well if i can't have it i don't care as long as they're not going to, you know, save the money. No, someone who, when they win, goes, this is my first time trying to call. Yes. Oh, I just turned on the radio and I heard it and I was like, oh, yeah, I know what that is. And I thought I'd call.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And, yeah, it just went straight through. You answered. Here I am. That would be mine. That would be amazing. I want the person that wins to say, I'm going to squander this all right now. I don't want someone to say, I'm going to put this all on a interest-saving term deposit. I want a holiday out of this.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Not a great time for a term deposit. No, it's not. You may as well spend it. Yeah. All right, Rebecca, good morning. Good morning. Hi. Sorry, I'm a bit sick.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Oh, God. Okay, all right. Did you get it up out in John? No. Okay, well, hopefully you can make it through this set, God. I'm a giant cat. Okay, all right. Did you get it off Alton John? No. Okay, well, hopefully you can make it through this set, Rebecca. $51,000. What would you do with that money? It's a life-changing amount of money.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Well, I've actually got two little boys, two years old and 10 months. I'll have to put a little bit away for them. Like $100. That's so much to them. Kids don't know. Kids don't know. Kids don't know. We'll just buy them lots of lollies. They'll be stoked.
Starting point is 00:57:29 All right, Rebecca, that money is all yours if you can tell us successfully what the secret sound is. Okay, I think it might be locking and then turning a combination lock. A combination lock, like one of those, like on a suitcase. Yeah, like you lock it in and then you turn it. Like, or like on a, yeah. So like the numbers, you've got to do the numbers
Starting point is 00:57:55 and so you lock it and then you scramble it so nobody can just... No, I was thinking more of the ones where you actually have a dial. You mean a padlock or a safe? Yeah, that's the one. Okay. Can we have one more listen? Is that alright? Yep. Locking
Starting point is 00:58:17 and turning. Are you picking padlock or safe? Because you've got to be specific. You can't just be vague. Okay. I don't know be vague. Oh, okay. I'll go. I don't know if you guys have one. Probably safe.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Let's go safe for the $51,000. Just clarifying the money. Yeah, yeah. The $51,000 and the safe. Okay. The safe is not the secret sound. Oh, Rebecca. All right, thanks anyway.
Starting point is 00:58:46 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The cluckdashy hens. Yep. Our chickens. Great layers. An egg a day. Oh yeah, I had an omelette from your eggs on Sunday. Yep.
Starting point is 00:58:58 And I thought I was going to get a double yolk because it was a real big one. No. But it was just a real big egg. Oh, that's important. Your eggs are more orange than free ranges from the supermarket. Well, that's because they are. When I get home from work, I pop open the food colouring.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I'm like, eat your food colouring. I pop open the gate and the clucked ashy hens go rogue for the whole day. That's like fluorescent orange. Do you know that your eggs are almost too eggy for me? It's like, ooh, ha, ha, just full on eggs. Should I worry about your chickens? Because some of those eggs don't fit in the egg holder. Like those poor chicken cloacas.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Cloacas, that's the hole it comes out of. Yeah. That's the everything hole for the chicken. Yeah. That hole, a couple of those must be worn. Yeah. They're giant eggs. Stretched clo worn. Yeah. They're giant eggs. They've got stretched cloacas.
Starting point is 00:59:47 Yeah, they're giant eggs. I'm not complaining. So I had been trying, because they go next door to Norma's and make a real mess in the mulch. She's called you. I love Norma. She's lovely. Yeah, she's called you a couple of times to come and get your cocktails. Come and get the chickens.
Starting point is 01:00:01 Yeah. Come and get the chocks. But I had been opening the gate and then chucking them some chicken feed close to the house. And it means they've been hanging around a bit more. Okay, but not enormous mulch. Not enormous mulch. Another place I go is the neighbours have got like a swamp area.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Now, they love going down there. And I don't know what they're eating down there, but that could be the secret. Yep, baby eels, worms. You think of all the bugs and creepy crawlies that live in a swamp. Those chickens are having a great old time down there. But at the end of the day, it's a chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook. And up they come. They'll come out of the ground.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Do they come when they hear? Yeah. Where are their ears? That's how I used to call my chickens too. Chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook, chook. Where are their ears? Because they don't have earlobes. Yeah, behind their...
Starting point is 01:00:45 Have you checked the flap? They've got hair. They've got a little... Is that a flap? A little feather flap. And you pull the feather flap back and there's a little hole. And that's the colour of the egg. What?
Starting point is 01:00:56 Andy told me she said she watched a YouTube video about chickens and there's a part of... There's one particular part of the side of their head and that's the colour their eggs come out. You should get a purple felt and colour it. I don't know if it works like that. Doesn't it? So down to the swamp they go
Starting point is 01:01:16 and they eat all manner of native blizzards and skanks. And then they come home. Well, the other night, Seven came back. And we were missing one of the clucked ashy hens. And I thought, well, one of them might just be lingering. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:01:36 I'll shut the others in to protect them from foxes that don't exist. Stoats, ferrets, that sort of thing. And the next morning, let them out. Next day, called them. Seven came.. And the next morning let them out. Yeah. Next day called them. Seven came and I was like. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 01:01:48 I said to India, I was like, we're missing a chicken. And she can identify them because they've got different coloured bands on. Yeah. Yeah. And so she comes down, does a quick look around. It's Courtney Cluck-Dashy Hen that's missing. Oh. Phew, it's not Kim.
Starting point is 01:02:01 She's left the show. She doesn't want to be a part of it anymore. Yeah. It's real life and the cluckdashy hands. Yeah. So I do not know where this chicken is because it's been a few days now. Oh, no. And it hasn't come back.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Is Indy going to? Do you think you could replace it with another band? Would she notice? No, she's because, Yeah, no, because when... Well, she didn't have a band when she went missing. Right. Because every now and then they come into the section and the dog chases them and they freak out in the band.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Somehow they get the band off. I don't know. I don't know how the band works itself loose while they're running so fast from the dog. But I... And I went looking yesterday because I was like, if she's dead,
Starting point is 01:02:44 dead, met her end, I'll be able to start smelling the chicken, won't I? TMZ will be all over that scene wanting the photos. Courtney Clark bashing him. So I began doing some research
Starting point is 01:02:55 and I believe the pukeko may be responsible. What? Pukeko, they're pretty vicious. Do they attack other birds? Yeah, they kill ducklings
Starting point is 01:03:07 They kill and eat ducklings Oh my god You might just think they're cute, long-legged things That turn the light on and off on that energy But they're not, they're vicious They're vicious They're really territorial They'll kill ducklings
Starting point is 01:03:22 And also have been known to kill a chicken. Oh god. Well did you find any remains? I haven't found any feathery remains, no. Oh my god, poor Corny. I mean fingers crossed we've not got a body so technically we don't have a murder. But this could be a cold case that haunts you for your whole career. If Netflix documentaries
Starting point is 01:03:40 have taught me anything, until there's a body we don't have a homicide. We should make your spare room into one of those cold case rooms where we put up a picture of the chicken. Yes. String to the swamp. Red string. String to the poo geckos.
Starting point is 01:03:53 The poo geckos. Locations. Yep. Possible motives. Yep. Well, the poo geckos are absolutely high on the motive list. Yeah, but then that's prejudice. We've gone in with a prejudiced mind.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Yeah, you're right. So, you know, this is how people get wrongly accused of things. Or you should get your drone up today. That's what I was thinking. Yes. Or just drive around the neighbourhood being like... I do a drone search. I never thought about her going that way.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Because like cats, they go to someone else's house to get fed. Maybe she's just gone to the neighbours. It's about time we put GPS trackers on all the chickens. Yes. Track them right now. Imagine their little antennas. Oh, I just want little GoPros on them. Yeah, but people always send me, this is the problem now when you,
Starting point is 01:04:35 you know from your cat days, people have sent me chicken tutus. Not to wear, but like links, being like, you should buy these. You should though. For your chickens. And it's tutus and helmets right but then I looked into that
Starting point is 01:04:48 that's needed because if there's a chicken getting picked on they literally pick them and they need helmets to stop the others picking their brains if Courtney had had a helmet
Starting point is 01:04:55 she would have survived the motorbike accident okay well we've got to get you we've got to get them helmets yeah absolutely to protect them from the pokeok it goes
Starting point is 01:05:05 We're all involved in this cold case now In this murder investigation Yes That doesn't have a body No body but Stay tuned for episode two I think we're going to need an intro Yes
Starting point is 01:05:18 You know those Netflix Like those real broody Broody Yeah Yeah Okay Someone said Norma's killed her. Norma wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:05:28 You smell any roast chicken next door? She's going on the board with a string between the chicken and Norma. She's a suspect. Wow. You're not willing to discount anybody. She is a suspect. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Starting point is 01:05:42 ZM. If you missed yesterday, we were discussing Fletch was wearing, accidentally wearing his new cap that he got for Christmas in the mall. The problem is this cap had Daddy written on it. It was a joke present and I just grabbed it, left the house. Didn't think anything of it. Absolute shock when I saw that in the mirror. You can see a photo of Daddy himself wearing that hat
Starting point is 01:06:05 and smirking on our Facebook page. Because I was trying not to laugh when I sent that to the group chat and then you guys posted it on the socials.
Starting point is 01:06:14 Oh. Unacceptable. How terrible it must be to have personal stuff that you share with each other shared on the radio. How horrible. Isn't it?
Starting point is 01:06:22 It really is. Also, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Scratching the surface. Barely a smudge on the surface. But in the photo which was uploaded as you sent it, it was in reverse. Now, I took it upon myself to reverse it again so it's in the right way.
Starting point is 01:06:45 Now, look, this is your face ordinarily. And it looks like a little bit cheeky and a little bit flirty. Yeah. A little bit cheeky, a little bit flirty. But I found the face, your cheeky, flirty face when it was mirrored. Creepy. It looks completely different. It does.
Starting point is 01:07:02 How weird is that? I don't know. It's exactly the same expression, but just around the other side of your face, and it looks a little bit creepy. I'm trying not to laugh, and it's my one side smirking a bit more. Have you found that before, though?
Starting point is 01:07:13 You look in the camera, and you're like, cool, and you take a photo, and then when it flips it, you're like, no, absolutely not. It's just your face. I just couldn't believe how different that expression came across. Well, either way, it wasn't a photo for publication. That's the thing. It was for group chat only.
Starting point is 01:07:34 So, yeah, again, that's on our Facebook page. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. And Instagram. So, yeah, the reason we're talking about that photo is because I would like to mention one of the comments on the photo on our Facebook page. It's very interesting someone has commented and said and worth 62 million too hashtag sugar daddy with a shh emoji now attached this is news to me attached is then uh, like a website that's got a whole list of details
Starting point is 01:08:08 about you. It's all about, and they've got the right person because it says radio host, it says your age, cancer is your star sign, it's got your birthday. This is, because you know I love when we talk about celebrities to go to Google Net Worth

Starting point is 01:10:17 It's plural. I have a bicycle. Singular. It's got a section where it says age, height and body measurements. It actually says your height and weight is not available right now. Good. I don't need to be fat shamed on a website. Who is Carl Fletcher dating?

We don't have information right now about Carl Fletcher's past relationships and whether they've been previously engaged, but he has no children. Where did they get $62 million? And where did they get all this information? I know. Who did this? If you're holding out on us.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Now people are going to think I've got $62 million and be hitting me up for money. What is that $62? US million or $62? Can I have a Tesla, please? Well, that means I'm almost a hundred millionaire. I just want a car. Can I have a car? And New Zealand dollars. I don't have 62 million dollars.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Liar. Liar. Megan, you work for the same company. Yeah. Yeah. You know I don't have 62 million dollars. Yeah, Vaughan's the one with the gated house. Yeah, you've got a, how much millions do you have?
Starting point is 01:11:20 74 million. God damn it. That's why you've got an electric gate and a treehouse. You're not allowed to have an electric gate until you're worth $70 million. Right, okay. And then they actually say congratulations and they gift you the gate. Right. And you're like, man, the rich get richer.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Free electric gates. What next, baby? Can we take that down? No, why? Or should I update it to my actual net worth? Just a big mortgage with the bank. It might help you in your dating life. What? Because everyone thinks that, we should update that part.
Starting point is 01:11:49 We should. We should. There's some details to this thing there. And his height and his weight. And also his EFTPOS card number, because I know the pin for that. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. It's time for... Fact of the Day, Day the Super Soaker was invented by a NASA jet propulsion laboratory.
Starting point is 01:12:26 Oh, what for? Inventor. For space? Or it's a side project? No, well, he was trying to invent ways of pushing water around. And then apparently he gave a little squirt and he was like, that was fun. And thus
Starting point is 01:12:41 invented the Super Soka, originally called the power drencher. The super soaker is just as bad as the power drencher. Yeah. Yeah. I like how he just slightly changed it, got some marketing involved. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:00 And it took off. In 1991, in its first year, it sold $200 million in sales. Did he sell it to? He sold it to Hasbro. Right. In 1995. But then in 2013, he actually sued Hasbro because he was like,
Starting point is 01:13:18 I don't think I've been paid the royalties that I'm inclined to. Having seen Super Soakers sell for the last however many years. And in November of that year, he was awarded $73 million more in royalties. Wow. He's sweet. He's all good then. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:36 He's inventing something. Yeah. And it makes money while you sleep just by selling. It's the dream. It's the dream. That's why I've got $63 million. 64, wasn't it? 64, sorry, yeah. 62. 62. 62, yeah. It's the dream. It's the dream. That's why I've got $63 million. $64, wasn't it? $64, sorry, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:46 $62. $62. $62, yeah. Whatever, $60 something million. Are you confused with my $74 million? Yeah. My $74 million. Yeah, so he's 70 years old now
Starting point is 01:13:56 and he just chills. Lives at home with his wife and it says they're four children, but if he's 70, that'd be old. You'd hope that would have moved out. Mind you, their dad invented the super soaker and he's got heaps of money.
Starting point is 01:14:08 I'd be leeching off them forever, yeah. Yeah. Just get them to add another wing to the house and you have all your family and everything in there. So today's fact of the day is the man that invented the super soaker was working for NASA at the time. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:36 Holden have announced that they are quitting New Zealand and Australia. And these cars are, well, they've just been around Australia and New Zealand forever, haven't they? They've been a part of a lot of memories growing up. Oh, yeah, for sure. Even if you don't care about cars or the whole Ford and Holden battle, chances are you've probably grown up riding in one or being arrested by the police and riding in one. And popped in one. Yeah, popped in one. Yeah. Popped in one.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Granddad might have had one. My dad had a Kingswood. A blue Kingswood growing up. And then we had a Commodore as a family car. Yeah, we had a Commodore as a family car. Did it have louver windows on the back? Yes. They were a classic in the 80s, 90s.
Starting point is 01:15:18 My first car was a Holden. It was a little Barina. Oh, yeah. My family needed it to be my first car. You had the Holden? Yeah. I was just thinking we need a sad song in the yeah. My family and the two of us. You had the Holden? Yeah. I was just thinking we need a sad song in the background. I just Googled sad rock songs.
Starting point is 01:15:28 Sad Bogan. Oh, what have you got? Sad Bogan songs. Nickelback Photograph. That's not a sad song. No, that's a nostalgic song. Anya, are you saying that's a sad song? Yeah, that's a laughing song.
Starting point is 01:15:40 I put the absolute smile on my doll. He literally says, look at this photograph every time. I know it makes me laugh. Lyrical genius. Yeah. Go back to the drawing board, please, Anya, and find us a sad, bogus song. What about, like, Metallica 1 or Fade to Black?
Starting point is 01:15:57 For whom the bell tolls. Oh, yeah. Because the bell tolling's like the end of it, right? Yeah, right. Or something. Winds of Change. It definitely needs to be Metallica. Oh, the Winds of change. It definitely needs to be Metallica. Oh, the winds of change.
Starting point is 01:16:07 No. But maybe too soft. Do, do, do. I don't know, tobogans do sad songs. Yeah, they do. They've got emotions. Tobogans have feelings too. Do they?
Starting point is 01:16:16 That's why they grow the mullet song, so they can pull it around and wipe their tears away with them. It's like a little tear napkin. It's like eyelashes for the neck. And you just pull It's like Eyelashes for the neck And you just pull it around your chest Eyelashes for the neck Tap tap it No
Starting point is 01:16:31 This isn't Bogan Well Vaughan said it's on the list Of the saddest Bogan songs No Well I don't know Find me another one And I'll play it I just reckon
Starting point is 01:16:40 I just reckon Metallica Just search Metallica And put on Do Metallica 1 Just how many songs and put on... Do Metallica 1. Jeez, how many songs have you got playing there? I don't know, mate. While Fletch finds it, I'll tell you, I've found a summary of what it means.
Starting point is 01:16:52 The Holden brand will be retired by 2021 in Australia and it will lose its local design and engineering departments, which is like up to 800 local jobs lost, which I reckon is quite sad. It is. Yeah, right. Okay. Oh, right. Okay. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 01:17:07 That's got Megan. There'll be no more roaring of the Holden engine now. Conrad straight off. Bathurst, mate. What will it be without the old red line? Brockie's turning out rolling in his drape. So they're not going to do
Starting point is 01:17:28 like V8 supercars anymore? They're not doing anything in the brand itself. That's actually really sad. Yeah. That's actually like... And even like Ford. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:36 Ford were like, where are you going? Where are you going, mate? Fella. It's just a car, though. It's just a car. It's just a car. All the Ford people too.
Starting point is 01:17:44 It just annoys me because now they're like, well, we won that one, didn't we? Forever now. No, the actual official brand were like, we want to thank them for keeping us on our toes and inspiring us to always aim higher. We'll miss you. Oh, that's really sad.
Starting point is 01:18:00 I just like to imagine it's two cars talking. We'll miss you. Yeah, and the Holden's like, I'm infertile, mate. I can't have any babies. And the Ford's like, oh, shit, mate, that's hard to hear. I'll go on for you, though. Yeah. Go on.
Starting point is 01:18:17 So it's just a car, isn't it? Like, we'll buy another car. It's an institution. We're a nation of car lovers. Have you seen how many roads we've got? They're everywhere. Yes. Bloody everywhere. Yeah, we'll buy another car. It's an institution. We're a nation of car lovers. Have you seen how many roads we've got? They're everywhere. Yes. Bloody everywhere.
Starting point is 01:18:28 Yeah, we are. I mean, I don't get the whole Ford and Holden thing. We love Holden so much. There are police cars. What are we going to have now? Bloody Ford. Mate. No, we've had Ford.
Starting point is 01:18:38 We've had bloody Ford police cars. Yeah, I won't get in one of those. No, no. Imagine being arrested. Megan gets arrested, drunk and disorderly. She's like, I'm not getting out of the back of a Ford. I'm not getting out of the back of a... I'll walk there.
Starting point is 01:18:59 I'll have to push it to the police station because it'll be broken down on my right. Uncuff me and I'll push that. We want to know your Holden memories. Your Holden memories this week. Oh God, do we? Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:13 Maybe it was a fat skid. Most of my Holden memories are fat skids because they grew up in Myronsville and where they used to have a burnout competition. I just remembered I have got a great Holden moment.
Starting point is 01:19:26 Go. Shall I tell it now? Yeah. So we all got in the car to go to school in the Holden Commodore with the louvers. And mum reversed out the garage door because she hadn't opened it. The louvers, she just thought it was the louvers making it dark.
Starting point is 01:19:42 But that was great because then we got a flash up roller door, like a garage door. Oh, not one of the ones that went on it. It was like a concertina. That was her play all along. Probably was. It was actually probably mum ripping off insurance. Unbeknownst to us kids.
Starting point is 01:19:58 But anyway, the holden, I tell you what, not even a scratch. Oh, really? So was there any damage to the louver? No, shit, no. The louver was just plastic. So there you go, there's my hold to the louver? Shit, no. Louvers were just plastic. So there you go. There's my hold of memory. Is that what we want?
Starting point is 01:20:08 Stuff like that? Okay. Are people being mean on the text machine? Because I can't be able to look at it if there's four people giving me shit. No, no, no. No one's being mean. Everybody's being pretty... Don't forget you're a bogan sometimes.
Starting point is 01:20:19 That's been pretty friendly. Somebody said... A bogan with Louis Vuitton. We're talking... What are those shoes with Louis Vuittons. We're talking... What are those shoes? Louis Vuittons. Like Gucci. Christian Vuittons.
Starting point is 01:20:30 Vuittons. Louis Vuittons. Christian. Christian. Yeah. Christian Libertons. Christian Liberti. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:36 A high class bogan. Yeah. Exactly. Somebody said... We're talking about your Holden memories. Yeah. Bowing out. I remember having adult fun times
Starting point is 01:20:45 in the front seat of my Berena. Paul's story. Berena? This small... Oh, we've got them on the phone. Which one? Anonymous. Anonymous, down there.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Anonymous. Fun times in a Holden Berena. I know, right? Was there enough room? Um, no. We had the door open. You were in the front seat and you had the door open? I had to have the door open, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:14 So were you across the two front seats? We get it, Paul. No, no, no, we don't get it. No, no. Oh, my. No, we were in the passenger seat with the door open and the seat back. Right, right. Now we're trying to get in there.
Starting point is 01:21:28 We're getting there. We're getting there. Oh, my God. My face distorts every time I think about it because I'm like, oh, my God, because that was like 25 years and probably 25 kilos ago. All right, anonymous. Thanks for your call. I tell you what, there has been some
Starting point is 01:21:49 lovemaking in Holden's over the years. I bet there were some babies conceived. People conceived in Holden's. Well, there is. Yes, we conceived our three-year-old in the back of a Holden barina. So at least they moved to the back seat. God, there's not much room in the back seat though. No. But maybe that speaks volumes for the room of a Holden barina. So at least they moved to the back seat. God, there's not much room in the back seat though.
Starting point is 01:22:06 No. But maybe that speaks volumes for the room of Holden Barina. The roominess. Yeah, well, put the seats forward and the back seat back a bit. Somebody else said, I had a cheeky passion with my now hubby's HQ ute the night I met him. Probably the Holden sealed the deal. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:21 The Holdens. It's out there. Yeah. Dad used to tell mum we were going up to Mitre 10 and we're going to Donuts in a dirt car park in the Commodore. Fond memory. Oh, my God, Dad. That's brilliant.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Because you're worried that you're not going to be able to go to Pukekohe with your dad. No, me and Dad used to go, like, watch the V8 supercars at Pukekohe. But he only went for the Holdens. Yeah. But now you've just got to find another brand to get behind. But I am a big fan of Scotty McLaughlin. He races for Ford now, right? How do you even know that?
Starting point is 01:22:58 How do you know that? You know that I'm a bogey. Put your weight behind a nice car like a Citroen Clio. Megan and her dad can root for the Citroen Clio. Let's take some calls. Sam, what's your Holden memory? So I was studying back at home a few years ago, and I hear this scream.
Starting point is 01:23:34 Oh, what's that? And I walked down the street. Mum was at her neighbour's, and she was inside having a cup of tea, and her Holden Astra had rolled down the driveway, gone round the corner, and down a hill into someone's garage. I've done that too. But it was a Toyota. The worst thing was the dog was in the back.
Starting point is 01:23:58 Oh my God, oh my God, the dog's dead. But the dog was all good. He was just, yeah, he was just chilling in the back. Oh, nice. Oh, my God. Thanks for your call, Sam. Pat, what's your Holden memory? Yeah, mate, back in the 80s, I worked for the Australian High Commission in Wellington, and they had the
Starting point is 01:24:15 70s model, early 80s Holden Statesman Caprice. Okay. All class, mate. That's what they made, and unlike any other high commissioning embassy, the flag mounted right in the middle of the bonnet. Made a statement all around town. That Aussie flag perched there in the middle of that.
Starting point is 01:24:37 Yeah. Holding. And in my time, mate, they changed it out. You know what they changed it for? What? A Ford. Ford LCD. Oh, bloody hell. They changed it out. You know what they changed it for? What? A Ford. Ford LTD. Oh, bloody hell.
Starting point is 01:24:47 And every High Commission and Embassy had a Ford LTD. Unbelievable. Treason. It is. High treason. It is, Pat. Thanks for your call. Deb, what's your Holden memory?
Starting point is 01:25:00 So growing up, we had a Holden Commodore, as everybody did. And the number plate started with katie so we always called it katie and um when my parents sold that car me and my sister burst into tears and we were so upset because that's the only car we'd ever known so it was like losing a member of the family he's gone i thought you were going to tell a story about how you'd learned to drive in katie and katie's still in the family, but RIP. Katie's out there somewhere. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:28 Unfortunately, she was already gone by the time I learned to drive. I did learn to drive in a 40s course. Oh, boo. Is that what you say, Megan? Boo. Hey, Deb, thanks for your call. Some other text messages in. Holding memories I remember smoking ciggies
Starting point is 01:25:48 With my cousins and my uncles It was the only place in their house That stunk enough of cigarettes That you could smoke there and no one would know you'd been doing it Yeah, that's true Bless I have a 1992 Holden Commodore I stopped in traffic on the motorway
Starting point is 01:26:03 And a Mitzi went right up me ass. Love that they know the make of the car. Bloody Mitzi. Bloody Mitzi. And his car was completely written off. Water and oil was pouring out everywhere. Totally undriveable. I got one cracked taillight.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Oh, yeah. Remember, someone ran into the back of me in my Berena. It was like a flash-ass Peugeot, and it ruined the front of their car. There was not a scratch on my little Barina, 1980 Barina. The Barina keeps on Barina-ing. You've got a tough behind. Yeah. So good they named a sign machine after it.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Yeah. But anyway, that's life. Some holding memories. We've got our memories.
