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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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?
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...
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.
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
Hilton though
So
Oh that's true
Yeah
Fair call
That's not as nice as it sounds
No
That's a prison
Right
So if you're Airbnb-ing
And you're not paying any tax
You are now
Yeah
You're about to be
You are now
From the ZM Think Tank
This is the Top 6
Hello there
The Bachelor Senior Edition May just be happening in America.
Oh.
The cast, the producers of The Bachelor now casting seniors looking for love.
Are you in your golden years and looking for romance?
The producers of The Bachelor are looking for outgoing and active single men and women
for an exciting new dating show.
This bachelor mansion better be on one level.
Yeah, no stairs.
Do you think the seniors would be bitchy?
Absolutely.
Have you ever heard your parents go on about someone?
And then the next time they see them, they're like, hello.
Or they call them on the phone, They're like, oh, bloody.
G'day, mate.
How are you?
So, yeah, they're looking for a senior's reality show.
Okay.
So today's top six is the top six other senior reality shows that we need.
Now, once they've done the senior bachelor, this could be a spinoff
because, you know, the bachelor begot the bachelorette. Yep. Begot the two bachelorettes. Yeah. This could be a spin-off because, you know, The Bachelor, Begot, The Bachelorette.
Yeah.
Begot, The Two Bachelorettes.
Yeah.
Number six on the list
of the top six senior reality shows
based on The Bachelor,
The Widower.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm imagining if they're over 65
it might have been
The Widower anyway, right?
Yeah.
Because if you've made it to 65
and you've never had
like a long-term partner,
then you probably don't want one
by that age.
Probably couldn't be bothered.
Nah.
It's all the admin.
Yeah.
Number five on the list
of the top six senior reality shows
based on the Kardashians reality show
is keeping up with the amount of pills
you have to take.
Have a lot of pills.
That's why they have those
little click-clack containers
days of the week.
What am I, Nana?
Well, she would have...
They wouldn't have all fit.
Oh, really?
Nah.
That's a lot of pills, eh, to keep going.
A lot of pills.
So many pills.
I'd need one of those containers because I'd forget
because sometimes I'm like,
have I taken my multivitamin today?
You go do a wee and if it's bright, you have.
Yeah, you have, yeah.
That'd be a great scene on keeping up with and if it's bright, you have. Yeah, you have. That'd be a
great scene on keeping up with the amount of pills
you have to take. Yeah. Number
four on the list of the
top six senior reality
TV shows, The Amazing Race
to the Bathroom.
Sneaks up on them.
Have to make a quick step down
the hallway to the bathroom, but be careful
because the rug's upturned.
It could be a very amazing race.
What if possibilities for tie-ins for sponsorship,
like you could have St. John's in their media alert?
Yes.
You know, worked in there?
Yeah.
Hand rails in the bathrooms?
Those, those, yep, those sell.
One of those seats that I had.
To go up the stairs.
Oh, no, what?
Oh, those two. Over the toilet. You know, if you can. To go up the stairs. Oh, I know what. Oh, those two.
Over the toilet.
You know, if you can't sit down all the way.
Oh, yeah.
One of the frames over the toilet.
Sort of the...
You used to sit on one of those when you had your operation.
The scaffolding for taking a shit.
Yes.
Oh, classy.
Mr. Scaffold.
Hello, Mr. Scaffold.
Hello.
I need some of that poo, Scaffold.
Don't know what you're talking about.
Number three on the list of the top six senior reality TV shows.
Project Run.
Away from the nursing home.
They love.
I run away from the nursing home.
Yeah, they never get far, though, do they?
They see an open gate and shuffle they go.
Yeah.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
They get as far as the muffin break and they see that and they're like,
I'll just pop in for a cup of Cheney.
That is old people burly.
Oh, yeah.
It is.
A muffin break.
A muffin and a coffee.
Or a coffee club or an Esquire's.
That's why they've got so many of them.
Yeah.
Draw in the lost old people.
Number two on the list of the top six senior reality TV shows,
Hell's Kitchen.
You've led a rather mischievous life.
You're going to hell.
Yeah.
But you might as well spend your time in the kitchen trying to bake things,
maybe bake things and give away to people to get some brownie points.
They're not going to Hell's Kitchen.
And number one on the list of the top six senior reality shows based on Survivor,
it's just called Surviving.
How long can you make it?
Yeah.
How long will you last?
How long?
And when you're not eliminated, they just... Well, you are eliminated from life.
They euthanize you?
Yeah.
Right.
You've got on your life support and they say,
sorry, the tribe has spoken.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
a gay kiss
it's going to be
two guys
one of the actors
identifies as a queer Muslim actor.
Oh, okay.
Right.
Yeah.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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
Wittamoo
Wittamoo
Gate 7
Come on Wittamoo
Your flight's boarding
So Walter
Please just Don't laugh straight away.
Okay.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I hate it
yeah I'm not down for it

And then Thursdays should still go ahead.
So they say.
I just don't know how, with pneumonia,
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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?
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...
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,
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.
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?
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,
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,
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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?
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
The Podcast
A couple who have been married
for 17 years
have gone viral
they have
she had a picture of them
holding the nine lessons
we've learned
over 17 years of marriage
Right
Tom and Lisa
are their names?
17
They don't look that old
No they don't
they look quite young
17
how many
what your wedding anniversary
is 10 this year?
This will be 10, yeah, in November.
I can't believe that's been 10 years since your wedding.
That's crazy.
I know.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Oh, yeah.
And arguments.
That would actually be
another point of mine.
Don't play games.
Yeah.
Don't play board games.
Yeah.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
WOW!
What you got, fool?
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!
BING!

So thanks for that
Oh please don't ban them
Because of my stupidity
And pure thoughts of singing bowl battles
Some text messages in
My mum who gave up her career to be a stay at home mum when we were born
Took up photography as a hobby
And she won a national photography award
Oh wow
That's cool
We're so proud of her
My dear dad has never been a coffee drinker
But at 60 years of age
He said I'm getting tired all the time
So he's taken up drinking coffee
So that's his news I'm getting tired all the time. So he's taken up drinking coffee. So that's his new...
I'm getting tired all the time.
That would probably work for him though. The rest of us
were all jaded from too much coffee.
He's hitting it hard at 60.
And he's getting a second
wind on life. My parents do
canning.
Canning.
Canning.
My parents do...
Canning. Canaling?
Canaling.
Yeah, in the canals.
Yes.
On the boats.
Canaling.
Canaling.
For a moment there, I thought that was...
No, it's not said canal.
I know, but you don't say...
No, it said canal.
Canaling.
Canaling.
That's what I said.
Canaling.
Canaling.
I said canaling.
And I said it even worse.
Canaling.
Canaling.
Isn't it canal?
Cannelling.
Yeah.
They love it so much, they bought a canal boat over there.
And now they just dump the dog at mine and say,
we'll see you in six months.
Oh, good Lord.
They're going cannelling up and down France.
Canal.
Canal.
It's one of those.
It's gone now.
Laura, what did your parents get into?
Hi.
My mum has recently got into bird watching, which is quite interesting.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
Old school.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, just by word of mouth.
Right.
And so, mum and dad getting ripped?
Yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
$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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
and I believe
the pukeko
may be responsible.
What?
Pukeko,
they're pretty vicious.
Do they attack other birds?
Yeah, they kill ducklings
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
You know those Netflix
Like those real broody
Broody
Yeah
Yeah
Okay
Someone said Norma's killed her.
Norma wouldn't.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
and we're always like, oh yeah, that celebrity's worth this and this.
And I'm like, how do they get this information?
Well, that's obviously completely made up.
This is celebstrendingnow.com slash Carl Fletcher net worth.
This has a lot of personal information on it.
It does.
This is freaking me the F out.
So they've got your birthplace wrong.
It says you were
born in Auckland.
I was born in Wellington.
Yeah.
But it's got you
right birthday,
23rd of June.
Radio personality
who became known
as the host of
The Breakfast Show
with Fletch,
Vaughan and Megan.
I got a shout out.
On ZM.
It says you're
similar to Ryan Seacrest.
Wow.
Wow.
In more ways than one.
Well, I do love a giant...
Pause.
Paycheck.
Pause.
Ah, pause.
Pause, yeah.
Right, yes.
So it says he is ranked on the list of the famous people who were born on June 23rd.
He is one of the richest radio hosts born in New Zealand.
Wow.
Wow, I know.
Like, at this point, I'm like, interesting.
He's also on a list of the most popular radio hosts.
Carl Fletcher is one of...
Oh, now we know it's bullshit.
How dare you?
It says that you're...
I won't say your age.
I never tell a lady's age.
But then it says go on to net worth.
His estimated net worth
for salary income cars,
lifestyles, has been
updated and you are worth
$62 million.
$62 million.
I don't even need to win
Secret Sound. I'm worth
$62 million.
Wow. Like did I win Lotto and not know about it?
Are you not telling us something?
For the record, because people are debating this in the comments,
I do not have $62 million.
I don't even have a million dollars.
Who wouldn't be here?
I don't even have a car.
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?
There are usually many rumours surrounding your favourite celebrities.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
$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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Vuittons.
Louis Vuittons.
Christian.
Christian.
Yeah.
Christian Libertons.
Christian Liberti.
Yeah.
A high class bogan.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Somebody said...
We're talking about your Holden memories.
Yeah.
Bowing out.
I remember having adult fun times
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Yeah.
But anyway, that's life.
Some holding memories.
We've got our memories.
