Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, brought to you by McCafé. Grab yourself a delicious barista-made coffee for only four dollars. All right you lot, listen up, it's story time. Story time, I have trawled the internet looking for interesting news headlines. Very hard, very hard to find non-corona stories. Oh, yeah. In fact, one of these is a... These are the three stories on the internet. Oh, it's one of them. Well, one is, but it's a lulz.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Okay. Corona story, if there is such a thing. Headline one. Vaughn and Megan, I'll read three headlines. You've got to pick one only. Headline one, woman's bar of soap gives the internet some much-needed laughs. Headline two, man's plan to avoid toll fails twice. And headline three, roundabout stops getaway car.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Someone crashed into the roundabout. Yeah. Was it a roundabout? Because you can go over some roundabouts, those concrete bumps. You can go over them. But you can't go over one of the garden. I like going over those. You know they're not roundabouts, but they're roundabouts, those concrete bumps, you can go over them. I like going over those. You know they're not roundabouts, but they're
Starting point is 00:01:07 roundabouts? Yeah. It just feels real naughty, but like it's not really naughty. But you see all the time marks of everyone else who's done it before you. Feel a bit like Vin Diesel. Yeah. But like who else has been in those movies?
Starting point is 00:01:23 Can't say Paul Walker. Michelle Rodriguez Yeah The other one Jason Statham Yeah He was in one And then they had a spin off
Starting point is 00:01:34 Because that rock Didn't get on with Vin Diesel Yeah He's like There's only room For one bald guy here The rock was that one Was it
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yeah Bit of Fast and the Furious Okay Toll Avo avoiding toll twice. Yep. Or a woman's bar of soap gives the internet some much-needed laughs. Let's go with the laughs. But the bar of soap's got Corona written all over it.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Yeah. You're not wrong, Vaughan Smith. Soaps, hand sanitizers. Do you want it? If it's a funny story, then maybe we do need the funny. Yeah, well, no, it is. It's certainly funny. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:08 As the headline says, gives the internet some much needed laughs. Well, we go to Ireland now. I'll just show you. That's her bar of soap there. Okay. Can you see that? How would you describe that bar of soap? It's cheese.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Is that cheese? Yeah, it's cheese. Oh, sweetheart. She hit the internet after she was wondering why a bar of soap wasn't foaming. Lathering up. Yeah. Actually, I apologise to the Irish listeners and to Ireland
Starting point is 00:02:37 because while the story is on the Irish Post, it's actually a woman from Vancouver in Washington who thought she was doing a bit to stop the spread of coronavirus by thoroughly washing her hands. In fact, the state of Washington was one of the first state's hardest hit in America, wasn't it? Yeah, that upper part.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Where did that piece of cheese come from though? Well, she posted the tale on Reddit. She said the cheese ended up being mistaken for a bar of soap because it was left out of the fridge following a drunken late night snack. Oh, okay. So maybe it was on the bench.
Starting point is 00:03:11 So she woke up the next morning. She assumed that it was a bar of soap. She was also keen to stress that she does actually have a yellow bar of soap. Because it is that same yellow colour that soap was growing up. What was that soap called? Oh, it was a sunlight soap. Like a laundry detergent soap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mum would rub it on
Starting point is 00:03:34 but it was always in the laundry so you'd wash your hands with it. But you think of like when you go to stores like Lush and people that do soaps, they're very light, you know, they're blocks. They're blocks, aren't they? They're cut. Like cheese, yeah. But would you not, when it didn't lather up, would you not give it a sniff or something?
Starting point is 00:03:49 It'd be like very cheesy. Well, yeah, well, she said she uses liquid soap for the dishes, but bar soap like this is better on her hands after she does the chores. So it did take her a couple of days, and she was like, why isn't this foaming? And then that's when she came to realise that the soap was actually Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Well, yeah, it did look like a cheddar. Yeah, it looks like a cheddar there. It could hold a sharp edge. Yeah, so she kind of outed herself on Reddit and has now gone viral and is again providing the internet with some much needed laughs. Oh, bless.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah. Oh, bless. All right, it's 13 past six with some much-needed laughs. Oh, bless. Yeah. Oh, bless. All right, it's 13 past six. Next on the show. TikTok. Worrying. A worrying trend that has been revealed. There's been a leaked memo.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Yeah. Oh. Yeah. From TikTok HQ. Where you'd imagine everybody just dances around the whole time. I love a leaked memo. Oh, you're nothing better than a leaked memo. This is a juicy leaked memo.
Starting point is 00:04:50 We'll go there next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A leaked memo from TikTok headquarters has said that TikTok's moderators were asked to suppress content by people deemed speechmark, ugly, and speechmark. Wow. The Intercept, an online website news forum-y situation. Yep. Apparently, moderators were said to sort through content featuring users with abnormal body shapes.
Starting point is 00:05:21 What? So if you had an abnormal body shape, they were like, no. Chubby people, obvious bare bellies, and people who were either obese or too thin. Then they'd also look at the faces, disfigured faces, obvious facial scars, and people with a lack of front teeth. Now, if
Starting point is 00:05:38 there's one thing the internet taught us, it's people with a lack of front teeth. Funny, that's good content. It's how they lose those teeth. Remember my brother went viral, didn't he? He had a missing tooth. That's right. Get him on the TikTok. With his missing teeth.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Don't encourage that. Please don't encourage that. Well, he's got no bloody NRL season to rear up about, does he? Are they still going ahead at this stage? I don't know. So the policy document read, unlike diversified videos of which the content itself is mainly the focus and the non-diversified content,
Starting point is 00:06:08 the character himself, herself, is basically the only focus in the video. Therefore, if the character's appearance or the shooting environment is not good, the video will be much less attractive and not worth being recommended to new users. So if you log on to TikTok, you open TikTok, it's only going to recommend to hot users. So if you log on to TikTok, you open TikTok, it's only going to recommend
Starting point is 00:06:26 to hot people. If you're new as well, more so because it's trying to get you hooked. Which, I mean, if you've been on TikTok, you realise how easy that is. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I didn't necessarily think it's because the people you were saying were attractive. I just thought it was because their videos were more popular. They hook you in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah. Wow. So, yeah, people are upset about that. Have they replied to that or said anything? Everybody's upset about that apart from people who are doing really well on TikTok. They're like, oh, my God, thank you. Oh, my God. I thought it was my content, but it turns out it was my looks the whole time.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yeah. So, apparently men, specifically specifically men with older brothers. Yes, that's me. That's just you in this room. The older brother. Fletch. Singular. Fletch is the oldest brother.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Oh, the older, yeah. Apparently men with older brothers are more likely to be gay. I don't know is that I thought it was men who liked kissing other men made you more gay didn't know it was
Starting point is 00:07:32 particularly related to brothers so researchers have looked at almost five and a half thousand men right and found those with an older brother
Starting point is 00:07:42 were 38% more likely to be gay but they don't know why could it just and found those with an older brother were 38% more likely to be gay, but they don't know why. Could it just be coincidence? But then having like older sisters or sisters in the mix, that wouldn't really, that doesn't affect anything. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Right. No, and having a younger brother doesn't impact your sexuality either. Right. But could that just be, do you think that could just be a coincidence? Who knows? Who coincidence? Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? 5,000 doesn't seem enough.
Starting point is 00:08:12 One of those articles that they post on Facebook so that people tag in their brothers and go, ha ha. It seems like an older brother who's a statistician had a younger brother and he's just like, yeah, still thinks it's funny and still thinks it's even tease worthy
Starting point is 00:08:27 and set up these stats just to say this. So there's been previous studies. This also sounds silly. Yeah. There's been previous studies that each additional
Starting point is 00:08:39 older brother increases a man's chance of homosexuality by around a third. Nah. Diminishing returns. What does that mean? Like, it doesn't mean if you've got three older brothers
Starting point is 00:08:51 you're guaranteed to be gay for the fourth. One third, two thirds, three thirds. Yeah, it's happening. Well, it literally says while having three older brothers more than doubles the odds. But then I know a guy, he's gay and his older brother is gay as well And there's four of them
Starting point is 00:09:09 So they're at the top and the bottom Oh, in the middle Yeah, in the middle Aren't gay Nah But my dad was one of five brothers Yeah And they're all heterosexual
Starting point is 00:09:19 So far I mean, there's no I mean, this is obviously a study that looked at 5,000 people. There's no one knows. But they can't explain it. So I would just, I think it's just coincidence, surely. Oh, well, at least it wasn't a story about coronavirus. Oh, but now it is because you've known it.
Starting point is 00:09:43 ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. What's happened? Coronation Street. That was a laugh. I wasn't crying. It sounded a bit like I was crying, but I wasn't crying. I was laughing.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Coronation Street has banned on-screen kissing for the foreseeable future. Till this whole COVID-19 thing blows over. They said that sort of kissing unless people have not been in the
Starting point is 00:10:21 vicinity of others is exactly how this thing gets around. Yeah. So no on-screen kissing. Which is weird. I don't remember. I don't watch a lot of Koro, but I can't remember seeing a lot of kissing anyway. No.

Starting point is 00:14:53 Now, one thing I've noticed personally just before, is we're going to talk about the people who are wearing it. The wrong people are getting a lot of heat in this situation. The frontline workers. People working in supermarkets, for example, are being harassed by shoppers because, oh, you don't have enough pasta on the shelves or where's the toilet paper?
Starting point is 00:15:15 Look, Stephanie, who's presumably paid minimum wage or barely more, that's not her fault. She doesn't need your shit. She's trying to keep a job In a time where Jobs you know Are gonna be Are gonna be cut back

Starting point is 00:15:50 the people losing it might have been through a whole lot of stuff that day as well. Yeah. We've just got to be a bit careful. Got to tread lightly. Love. Lots of love. What we need is more wholesome content. Wholesome content, yes.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I, yesterday, spent some time in the paddock because one of my bloody chooks, okay. Which one? Rob. Caitlin. Caitlin. Okay. Because they're the Clark Dashihans,
Starting point is 00:16:12 they're named after the... All the Kardashians. And I understand that Caitlin's a Jenna, but we had eight chooks. By the way, I don't think I ever, because people ask me
Starting point is 00:16:20 every time, Courtney's dead. Oh, Courtney died, yeah, that's right. Courtney disappeared for a while and then we found the dead. Courtney died. Courtney disappeared for a while and then we found the dead body of Courtney. I get asked that
Starting point is 00:16:29 whenever there's a chicken video. I'd be like, did Courtney come back? And I have to break it to them. She wanted off the show real bad. She wanted out.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I would have done that. She packed up Lord Disick and... I would have done that thing some sitcoms did and just replace a character with another actor. Now that's another
Starting point is 00:16:44 interesting bit of chicken chat. Right. You just can't introduce a new chicken. Who knew? They'll get smashed. Oh, really? There's a pecking order. Literally, you know the saying, a pecking order.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah. It's about birds that live in flocks. Okay. So one of my chickens, Caitlin, despite my best effort and quite the investment, it still manages to get through the fence, even though there's mesh and stuff getting through the fence. So I went and laid in the grass to try to spy on her to see where she was getting through the fence.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Wow. You've got way too much time on your hands. You can't go into isolation because I don't know what will happen to you when you get out. I was, we were talking about isolation and Sade said, we need to isolate on the property, right? It's not just in the house. I was like, yeah, on the property. She's like, I think you should set the tent
Starting point is 00:17:30 up in the paddock. Okay. Because I can't have you here the whole time. Yesterday I... You should have finished the tree house. You could live in the tree house. Yeah, no, that's good. That'll be on the... If we get isolated, that'll be on the list of things to do. So I'm out there lying in the paddock and I start putting up some videos of me trying to bust this chicken's escape.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And I started getting messages from people, New Zealanders and some people from other parts of the world, but people that were overseas quarantined to like one bedroom apartments. Oh, wow. Someone actually said, would you just be able to send me a video of you running your hand through the grass? Because I'm a New Zealander. I grew up on a farm. I'm in a one-bedroom apartment isolated for the next 12 days. They were two days into it.
Starting point is 00:18:16 And I just need it. So I sent them a video of the grass and they're like, well, that's the good stuff. Yeah, right. Oh, my God. That's sad. And just seeing a cow. Someone's like, I haven't seen a cow For like a year
Starting point is 00:18:26 Send me another picture Of the cow So it's I don't know It's crazy isn't it Yeah But if you're hot And you look good in undies
Starting point is 00:18:34 Maybe put that out there as well Because people I can't provide that personally I mean if you're that desperate Yeah Fletch will help you out I don't think people Want that either, Vaughn. Someone will.
Starting point is 00:18:48 It's the internet, baby. Someone will want it. What an absolute underhanded compliment. Someone will want that. Whatever you've got going on, when you're in your knickers and you look in the mirror, there will be someone on the internet that will be into it. That's a high praise.
Starting point is 00:19:01 That's a compliment. And I can guarantee that's the truth. Okay. ZM's Fletch, And I can guarantee that's the truth. Okay. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. All right, Soundkeeper Gary, good morning. Good morning. Now, you released a clue yesterday. Two clues yesterday.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Two clues yesterday. Two clues yesterday. That's right. One with some emojis in it, and the other was three simple letters. Three simple what? Letters. Letters. Three simple letters. We've got letters.
Starting point is 00:19:35 We've got numbers. We've got words. We've got nums. Okay. Right. So you can see those clues on our socials. See them online. The video as well.
Starting point is 00:19:45 It's somewhere in there, so that might help you as well. $100,000 is the jackpot. Good morning, Melissa. Good morning. All right, so did those clues that came out yesterday, did they help you? Yes and no. Classic answer.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Okay, well, let's have a listen to the secret sound. For $100,000, Melissa, what is it? Okay, I've got all the other clues seem to line up, but the last one, BWR, couldn't work that one out. Okay. I think that the secret sound is a bag of coffee beans being dropped on the bench and then picked up and the sound of the beans moving as you pick the bag back up again. Okay, that would explain that sound at the end.
Starting point is 00:20:37 It does sound like that could be beans. I always thought maybe that was water. Yeah, could be. I don't know, like maybe, or a liquid? No, it sounds more like beans to me was water. Yeah, could be. I don't know, like maybe or a liquid? No, it sounds more like beans to me than water. Yeah, right. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:55 And there is, the barista is in, the coffee station was in the video, wasn't it? Most definitely. Yeah, there's a few references to coffee in there. In the video.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Okay. Melissa. Hey. How are you feeling? Um, good. Yep. Melissa. Yes. Melissa, that's not the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Gary, with your big, long pauses. That was a big pause. At least I let you pause. I let you pause. You did let me pause. Thanks for letting me pause. Yeah, a lot of people can't handle the pause, can they, Melissa? Very true.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Hey, thank you so much. We will give you another shot at 8 o'clock. Do you think now, with your two clues yesterday, people are on to you? Yes, it's massive, especially that last clothe. Megan, have you had a look at it yet? You kind of dressed appropriately for that clothe. Gary. Just to add.
Starting point is 00:21:56 How would you say Megan is dressed now? Like a... No, let Gary describe it. Oh, no, no. How am I dressed? Let always. I can't talk. No, let Gary describe it. Oh, no, no. How am I dressed? Letters, I can't talk. She's dressed like a 1700s ship boy. Can we get a photo of Megan up on our story?
Starting point is 00:22:13 Yeah. You can imagine her on Captain Cook's Endeavor, right? So you're talking specifically about my top. Or a barrister without the wig. Okay. A barrister. You know how they wear those like... Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:22:25 It's got a pussy bow. I beg your pardon? It's called a pussy bow around my neck. It's called a pussy bow. Weird. Now I'm just even more confused about what the sound is. Fleshfawner Megan, the podcast. ZM.
Starting point is 00:22:39 It's holy moly, moly, moly, moly. Holy moly, moly, moly. Come on. Holy moly, we ask you a bunch of questions on our Instagram, FVMZM, and then give you the responses. And I tell you what, we get thousands of votes. So you'd pretty much take this as that's real. It's gospel.
Starting point is 00:22:59 It's gospel. It's the Friendship Edition today. And the first question we asked in Holy Moly Friendship Edition, are you friends with someone you wish was more than a friend? It's the friendship edition today. And the first question we asked in Poli Moli friendship edition, are you friends with someone you wish was more than a friend? It's very one-sided. But that would be like romantic, right? Not just I'm friends with them, but I want to be best friends. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:23 It means you've got a crush on your friend, right? Yeah. You want to be more than friends. Right. 85% said no. So 15% said yeah, they do. Right, okay. It's awkward for 15% of the population now, isn't it? Tell them.
Starting point is 00:23:37 Just tell them. The second question is... No, because I've been on that. I'll step in, Your Honour. I've been on that. We're friends with somebody. I'll step in, Your Honour. I've been on that. We're friends with somebody. Yeah. Not currently, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I was a younger man once. And you tell them and they're like, oh, but I don't want to lose the friendship. Oh, they've actually friendship-ed you straight away. Yeah, yeah. Friends-owned you, rather. Oh, my God. It would have to be the best relationship ever to be better than this friendship. But then what's the alternative? And I'll tell you what, I'm Friends owns you, Robert. Oh, my God. Like, it would have to be so, the best relationship ever
Starting point is 00:24:05 to be better than this friendship. But then what's the alternative? And I tell you what, I'm not friends with him anymore. But what's the alternative? You sit there and you, like, hang on to what if, what if, what if forever? Yes, trust me.
Starting point is 00:24:15 You've got to sit. For a long time. Either get it on or set them both free. Yeah. You know? It's good advice. Is it? Is it?
Starting point is 00:24:23 Is it? Does that work? You sounded sarcastic when you said that. No, no, no. Like, looking back. Oh, right. Okay. Life's short.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Don't waste your... I mean, yeah. Read your own situation, right? It was so philosophical. Life's short. I mean, yeah. Yeah. What?

Starting point is 00:25:01 Mahatma Vaundi. Mahatma Vaundi. Good. I'll doi. Mahavondi. God. I'll do it. Have you ever... Well, all right. If I must give people advice, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Have you ever had a friendship end because of a new relationship? Yes. So that means... You... You... Right.
Starting point is 00:25:20 You lose a friend because you start spending more time with... Or many. Yes. Or they don't agree with time with... Or many. Yeah. Or they don't agree with your new relationship or partner. Yeah, that's true. I hadn't thought of that possibility.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Or they like them and you went there. That kind of stuff. I guess it could be many. So not me. 56%. Wow. But it's pretty close, yes. 44% have lost friends.
Starting point is 00:25:41 That's a lot. Because of a new relationship. Wow. Next question. Are you friends with someone just because you've been friends for ages? And it's just what? What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:25:52 It's just... You're friends, but... Basically, if you met them now, are they the sort of person you would be friends with? Would you move in the same social circles? Or... And someone who you're just like,
Starting point is 00:26:03 yeah, I'm friends with them, but it's just because you've been friends with them for ages. But then they're still your friends, right? I don't think so. I don't think I'd be friends with someone if we weren't. You would say no in this situation. 61%
Starting point is 00:26:17 have said yes. They are friends with someone just because they've been friends with them for ages. Somebody actually replied to that one saying, yeah, because making new friends is hard. So it's not even the fact that they're just keeping them around.
Starting point is 00:26:33 It's like literally, I can't be bothered trying to do this whole thing again. Yeah. True. Yes. Do you wish you had more friends? 49%. Nah.
Starting point is 00:26:44 49% said no. 51% said yes. That's interesting, isn't it? Yeah. I'm not sure. Some days, yes. Some days, I might. When Ali's on tour.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah, when Ali's away, I'm like, oh, I wish I had more friends. I have no friends. Yeah, it's quite a good idea to have more than one, I think. Yeah. Yeah. That's true, actually. Yeah. Fletch, do you wish you had more one, I think. Yeah. Yeah. That's true, actually. Yeah. Fletch, do you wish you had more friends?
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't know. I'm all right. You've got a lot of friends. You've got a big friend circle. You're probably more social than the three of us. Those friends that you hang around with all the time, and then you've got those friends you don't see for ages because they might live overseas or whatever,
Starting point is 00:27:19 but you catch up with them, and it's like you've always been hanging out. You're a bit like Midori. Like everybody likes you, but just not too much. A couple of glasses at most. Yeah, you're like, I've had enough Midori for a month. Excuse me? Some people love Midori and have it every day.
Starting point is 00:27:42 And I'm great in a QF. I love that you're okay, that you're Midori. You're just trying to defend yourself. People have too much Midori and it puts them off for life. Oh, no, I can't do Midori. I did it all weekend once. I feel like this is personally attacking me, this segment. Next one, PoliMoli, the friendship edition.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Do you find it hard to make friends as an adult? 73% said yes. We've talked about that before. It is hard. I feel so vindicated, though. I'm so glad everyone else finds that hard. I talked to Sade about that. I was like, do you find it difficult?
Starting point is 00:28:14 She's like, I don't know. And I said, I don't know if I find it difficult. You don't want to. Neither of you would probably want to. No, I know. And she said, I think we'd probably find it easier if we wanted to. No, because I want to. I'm like, they're cool. I want to be their friend. No, because I want to. I'm like, they're cool.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I want to be their friend. And then I talk to them. I'm like, oh, he said something stupid. When I walk away, there's too much anxiety. I'm like, what do you think they're like? I don't know if they like me. Do I message them now? Oh, no, I don't want to message them.
Starting point is 00:28:36 And then, like, you get too in your head about it. They're probably thinking the same thing and it never happens. Oh, my God. So they actually liked me. No. Okay. I talked to them. They didn't. I said God. So they actually liked me? No. Okay. I talked to them. They didn't.
Starting point is 00:28:48 They said you were weird. They said you were weird. Shut up. How many, last question, how many of your mates do you consider close friends? So we do one of those like draggy. Oh, yep. Draggy things to a number. What would the average be?
Starting point is 00:29:01 Four and a half. Four and a half. Oh, yeah. Okay. I don't know. Oh, no, okay. I don't know. Oh, no, you guys included. Juan, Ellie, Fletch, Bourne, Anya, Mountie, and Jared's getting there.
Starting point is 00:29:15 He's just new. That's five. I'm above average. That's really... How does Jared feel about that? What's my favourite colour, Jared? Yeah, Jared. What's Megan's favourite colour?
Starting point is 00:29:25 I honestly couldn't tell you. Exactly favourite colour, Jared? Yeah, Jared. What's Megan's favourite colour? I honestly couldn't tell you. Exactly. See? He's got a few things to learn. Have a guess. There's not that many colours. There's five colours. Purple.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Oh, it's pink. Close, yeah. Pink. Close. Yeah. Close. He's getting there, though. You are a bit of a purple.
Starting point is 00:29:40 I can see why you picked it. Yeah. Well, pink and purple. Sure. ZM's Fletch, Va, Pink and Pitbull, sure. There's something on TikTok that is actually pretty awesome that someone's thought about this, but there's actually multiple versions of this. So everyone should feel safe when they're getting into a taxi,
Starting point is 00:29:58 an Uber, an Ola, whatever it is. Yeah. But sometimes if you're getting into the... I don't want to use one to call one out. The ride. The ride sharing service. Or just even a stranger's car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:13 A guy you've met. Sure. And you're by yourself. There's a little bit of anxiety that comes with that. And some TikTok users have come up with... Come up with. Come up with. Come up with a great thing to combat this.
Starting point is 00:30:28 So basically there is a video that you can play and you can treat it like it's an audio message. So when you get in the car, you get this TikTok, but you play it like it's an audio message. On like speakerphone? On your phone, yeah. Yeah, right. From your friend. Oh my god. I have called you like six times. Answer your damn phone.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I have your location on and I can see you just got into the car. We were supposed to leave like 15 minutes ago. I'm going to send Steven outside and he's going to be waiting for you. Alright? Call me back. Answer your phone for once. Bye. See? She sounds concerned. Yeah. She sounds pretty genuine.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I think if you were playing that back at one in the morning, you might want to record a real slurry drunk one. Yeah. But there's also other accents as well, because obviously that one was American. I don't know if we have any Kiwi ones, but definitely we'll get onto it now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:19 So it lets the person know who you're in the car with, that your location is being tracked and that there is going to be someone there waiting for you and there's going to be a guy waiting for you at the end of the destination, which is good. Yeah. Make you feel a little bit safer. Steven, is that the toughest name we could come up with?
Starting point is 00:31:37 You want a real tough name. No, she wants The Rock. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is waiting for you at the end of the driveway. I'm here, movie star and cousin. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is waiting for you at the end of the driveway. I'm here, movie star and cousin. Dwayne The Rock Johnson is here. Venom, the local Headhunters game president, is waiting for you at the end of the driveway.
Starting point is 00:31:55 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. If you see a shady guy with a Dyson in tow, well, it must be time for Fletch Sucks. I feel like Secret Sound's getting all the radio competition attention. And my little competition Fletch Sucks is just here with $200. It's more accessible, though, you know? Yeah, vehicle. And fun.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Let me fire up this cheap Kmart vacuum cleaner. And it's really simple. You've just got to tell me what part of my body I'm sucking. Mm-hmm. Are we going to go over what's been guessed already? It's the same part as last week. It's the same part as the last two weeks, Warren. This is the third week.
Starting point is 00:32:42 It's a carryover week again. And you know what? If people weren't listening, shame on them. Shame on them. They can be wrong and it's on them. We played this at home. The girls wanted to know what part it was. So we got the vacuum cleaner out and they tried different parts.
Starting point is 00:32:59 They ended up working it out. How long did it take them? Three weeks? Quite a few body parts. Yeah, good. So it's a challenging competition. All right. Let me fire up the old vacuum cleaner.
Starting point is 00:33:10 All right, here we go. Now I'm going to get the body part. Near to the vacuum cleaner. So let's break down that sound. There is a point where it's sucking before the seal gets fully closed. You know how it's like... Yeah. Well, it's because you get it close to the skin, don't you?
Starting point is 00:33:33 Mm-hmm. Oh, I love it. All right, let's take some calls. Good morning, Sade. Good morning, team. How are you? Good. Not Vaughan's wife, Sade.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Just checking. No, no, it's not. I was going to say, because she knew morning, team. How are you? Good. Not Vaughan's wife, Sade. Just checking. No, no, it's not. I was going to say, because she knew. She knew. She told you. This is fraud. This is an inside joke. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Sade, what part of my body am I sucking? I think you're sucking your belly button. Hell no! Oh, damn. And I mentioned last week my outie belly button, didn't I? That I was shamed for as a kid and had to get that poked in. He wouldn't want to put the vacuum cleaner there in case it popped out again. What a morpher.
Starting point is 00:34:12 I can't imagine if I popped my belly button out. After you had plastic surgery to put it back in. Yeah, exactly. Thank you, Sade. Hayden, good morning. What part? What part am I sucking? Well, I was going to go for belly button also,

Starting point is 00:35:48 Are you on heat, Bourne? What? You're just sexualising everything. I don't know what's happening. Is it all the self-isolation? Yeah. You need to get out of it, do you? I'm not getting enough self-isolation.
Starting point is 00:35:59 It's not. No! I'm going to take two more calls for New Zealand's Come on, guys. favourite radio competition. Chelsea, what do you think? I'm going to take two more calls for New Zealand's... Come on, guys!...favourite radio competition. Chelsea, what do you think? I'm going to go with your hips. That's hips.

Starting point is 00:36:47 How dare you? Unbelievable. You need to give a clue away or something. It's not the secret sound. I don't have to do anything. $200. I'll give one away. Up for grabs next week with no clues.
Starting point is 00:36:59 I want this to go on for years. I feel like this would have been one of the first things I would have guessed. That's your clue. Why would I? No. Stop it. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. I have found an article
Starting point is 00:37:13 that discusses relationships. You know when you fall in love or start falling in love with someone and all the little things they do is kind of what attracts you or you find different and you're like, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yeah. Like picking their nose and eating it. Okay, no one is thinking that is cute. Oh my God. Okay. Now I'm imagining a character and it's somebody who finds
Starting point is 00:37:43 really disgusting things cute and all their like new boyfriends. You know, he's always got a friend that's a bit giddy. Yeah, right. With their partner. Oh my God. He was like chewing his fingernails and then like he, okay, he eats them. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:37:59 And it is so cute the way he does it. He like itches his ear hole and then like like, licks his finger to see what it tastes like. Oh, my God. I love him. I'm trying to think of something in my own relationship, but, like, you know Andy P. He's really clean. Yeah, he's very particular. He doesn't do anything that I can think of that's, like, oh, my God, grinds my gears.
Starting point is 00:38:22 But it doesn't have to be something like physical, does it? It could just be. Has he stopped pooping directly into the wheelie bin? Has he stopped that? Because that was a bit, I'd say that was probably his least charming attribute. It's so funny. Taking a squat over the wheelie bin. He's the least likely to do that out of everyone I know.
Starting point is 00:38:42 He's doing it. And the rubber shrugs come down the road. He's like, well, I've got to get this done and get rid of it. No, absolutely not. Fletch is just shaking his head.
Starting point is 00:38:52 He doesn't, just to clarify. Yeah, obviously. That was what we call in the industry a joke. So it's not just,
Starting point is 00:38:58 it's not gross things. It's things that you found attractive initially. Yeah. Little, do you call them idiosyncrasies? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 That you liked initially when you were getting in stuff and now you're down the line and you're like, oh, that just grinds my gears. That just drives you nuts. Because apparently lots of people are, this is, they can't get over it.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And it's leading to the end of the relationship. Right. So the very thing that you loved about someone is the thing that makes you absolutely can't stand to be in the room with them. In the end. Wow. Okay. How could something go that far though? How could something go full 180?
Starting point is 00:39:35 I don't think it's necessarily about that attribute. It's the whole thing, isn't it? But that's the thing that probably tips them over. Probably because you were getting in the first place and maybe it was something you didn't actually like in the first place because you loved everything about them initially. Yeah. Okay, what about your first husband?
Starting point is 00:39:54 Were there things there? What about when he used to get blackout drunk? Yeah, see, that could be a good one because we used to like partying a lot and getting booze together. Yeah. And then not so much later right yeah i feel like um he overtook me a little bit yeah and yeah i didn't so much enjoy that so i i would love to know if you have something about your partner that you initially loved but now you can't stand it and either, do you want to hear from people that broke up because of it
Starting point is 00:40:26 or are still with their partner but can't stand it? You can still be with them. Okay, so either or, 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696, give us a call. What trait did you initially love but now you hate about your partner? So we want to know when you have fallen in love with someone and you found little cute traits that you really liked, eventually they were the very things that you despised. And maybe you did break up over them.
Starting point is 00:40:52 But cute little things you initially loved that just turned into something you're not sure of. But also hearing from people who just told their partner, just talked to them about it. Oh, right, okay. And have come to a solution. Can we maybe stop doing that? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:06 What, coming to a solution? Oh, yes, you are acting out the role. We're role-playing. Was it that good? It was so good, you were like, let's stop talking to our partners. Let's bury the problems down deep until they explode. All right, Alex, what trait did you initially love
Starting point is 00:41:20 but now is testing you? My partner's really forgetful, so when we first got together, it was quite cute, like, oh, you, you know. Aw, you forgot again. It's okay. I got you. Yeah, oh, you've forgotten. And then now it's kind of like I get home with Mr. Binns or something
Starting point is 00:41:36 and it's like, uh-oh. Don't lie, Alex. I don't think you went, uh-oh. You got home And what you yelled At him didn't you No no Like it's just It's not as
Starting point is 00:41:49 It's not as Fonksy work so much But it's just It was cute In the beginning But now Now it's not It's not ideal
Starting point is 00:41:56 Wow It's not It's not good Alright brilliant Alex sexy call Sarah what's the trait You used to love And now You don't so much?
Starting point is 00:42:07 Right. So about a year ago when I was seeing my partner, he had this thing where he liked to touch my belly button. Oh, how like? Oh, I don't like belly button touches. Sometimes you're having an itch down there and you'll poke it too hard and you'll be like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah. Well, it started out with a bit of a gentle touch, but nowadays it's like he likes it, he doesn't want to press it, and it's not good. So, yeah, so the last year I've been dealing with him having a fetish with my belly button and now I'm pregnant, so it's not ideal. I've got a couple of ideas. What about if you chuck like a gross like
Starting point is 00:42:46 greasy liquid down there or something so every time he puts his finger in it he's like, ooh, yuck. Or like a thumbtack. Yeah, I did threaten
Starting point is 00:42:54 to close, I said to him, I'll either sew it shut or just let him put a plaster on it. Yeah, put a plaster. Have it surgically removed. That'll show him.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Or a rat trap. Put a little rat trap in there and he puts his finger in, snap. That'll show them. Or a rat trap. Put a little rat trap in there. He puts his finger in, snap. Thanks, you guys. Here are some text messages. My boyfriend was super funny when we first started dating. And it was so lovely. He always made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:43:16 But now he posts it all on Instagram for everybody else to see. Like he's trying to be an influencer or something. And it's such a turn off. And man, do my friends give me some slack about it. He's sharing his gift with the world. give me some slack about it. Oh. He's sharing his gift with the world. But you used to find it so funny.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Just making sure that's not Sade's number. Imagine. Sometimes though, I will be winding her up and she's like, are you recording this? I'll be like,
Starting point is 00:43:39 no, this is purely for your benefit. This is what you get. You get concentrated. What's that? You get an exclusive pass. What are you, filming this for Netflix?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah. You think you're a comedian? You showing everybody this? No, sweetheart. This is all for you. My ex used to love telling stories. It was always about his past experiences in life. But after six years together,
Starting point is 00:44:05 I realized that most of the stories he told were complete bullshit because he'd tell stories about things that happened in the last six years that either straight up didn't happen or massively exaggerated. Hold on, I'll just make sure this is not Sade's number as well. No, I'm in the clear. And it just was ridiculous at the end. It drove me nuts. I just look at him and be like, why are you lying to these people?
Starting point is 00:44:27 I love to be able to take care of my now husband. When we first got together, I loved looking after him, doing all the housework. But that grew old pretty quick. And the first time I said, you've got legs, get your own drink, he thought I was breaking up with him. We had a good chat about it. And now he gets his own drink. Yeah. And my husband's spontaneity and big plans
Starting point is 00:44:47 Were such an attractive part about him It looked like ambition Yeah But now after 10 years It's just a whole lot of Half-arsed, half-started ideas With a new plan every week And I can't get excited about it
Starting point is 00:44:56 And he wonders why I'm not a 100% on board With his latest harebrained scheme ZM's Fletch Warner Megan The podcast What's that sound? ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. What's that sound? ZM's $100,000 secret
Starting point is 00:45:10 sound. With Save My Bacon. It's all thanks to Save My Bacon making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis $100,000. We've never given away that much money at once with secret sound or ever. I don't think I've ever given away anything
Starting point is 00:45:25 worth... Have you ever... Do you think we've ever given away... Well, I used to be a lotto presenter. Of course. I forgot those times you were... Don't you remember? A lotto presenter. Yeah, of course. But Sound Keeper Gary yesterday took clothes and this morning saying that Megan's attire...
Starting point is 00:45:42 My shirt. What were your exact words? What were your exact words about my shirt? I said that the last clue, the clue B-W-R, your shirt has a lot to do with it. I'm less worried about letting the sound go, more worried that I've offended you now. Oh, right, okay.
Starting point is 00:46:02 So I don't know what you're talking about. There's a picture of Megan on our story, FVMZM. Soundkeeper Gary, the closer you've given out, do you think people are on to you now? I 100% think so. And if you're not playing Secret Sound, you should be calling. Have you seen chatter online that could lead you to think this? Most definitely.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Wow, okay. Most definitely. So people need to be on that Insider fam page. Yes. So what can people join if they haven't already on Facebook? What, ZM's InsiderFam? Yep. That's it.
Starting point is 00:46:30 That's the main one. ZM InsiderFam. Okay. All right. But then see, I wouldn't want to be saying it online because then people will steal my idea, my guess. Yeah. Maybe they've got deals going on.
Starting point is 00:46:42 All right. Jessie, good morning. Hello. All right. So Jessie, you've got through. You've got deals going on. All right. Jessie, good morning. Hello. All right. So, Jessie, you've got through. You've done the hard part. You've just now got to tell us for $100,000 what this sound is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I'm a little... Okay. You're all right, mate. You're all right. You're all right. Oh, dear, dear. Okay. So, I think it's the cap or the lid
Starting point is 00:47:05 popping off a shaken Pepsi bottle, and then someone's like, oh, like gas, and the foam or the drink is going everywhere. There's a splattering noise at the end. Wow, okay. I guess that makes sense, right? I hope it makes sense. I can imagine that sound to that visual.
Starting point is 00:47:25 How does that go with the clothes that came out last night? So I took BWR as blue, white and red, which is like the Pepsi label. And was there a Pepsi in the video, Gary? Yes, definitely. Is it an accidental product? Are you a Pepsi man? I'm 100% a Pepsi guy. Are you a Pepsi man?
Starting point is 00:47:43 Oh, my God. Thank you. Yeah, that explains it, doesn't it? 100%. Get out of here, Gary. Take the Pepsi challenge, guys. Take the Pepsi challenge. I have.
Starting point is 00:47:53 What are you getting at? It used to be KFC. You go there and you're forced to have a Pepsi. Yeah, the Pepsi challenge is when you go to a restaurant and you're like, oh, I'll just have a Coke. They bring you a Pepsi. You're like, no. That's the Pepsi challenge.
Starting point is 00:48:04 That's all my order. Not today. Yeah. Okay bring you Pepsi, you're like, no. That's the Pepsi challenge. That's all my order. Not today. Yeah. Okay, right. So you're a Pepsi man, Gary. So that fits in with that clue. That fits in. And then, like, the, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:14 obviously you wouldn't want to get Pepsi all over you, so it's like a gasp, which fits in with the emoji from yesterday. Okay. You sound like you're gasping Yeah Jessie You've got some nervous breaths going on Do you have an Apple Watch on?
Starting point is 00:48:30 Do you have an Apple Watch or a Fitbit on? What's your blood pressure at the moment? What's your heart rate? It's through the roof So one more time Jessie Your guess please So I think it's the Pepsi cap Like of a shaken bottle of Pepsi
Starting point is 00:48:44 Popping off And then the foam and the Pepsi cap, like of a shaken bottle of Pepsi, popping off and then the foam and the Pepsi spraying everywhere. Jessie. Yes? We're at week seven. Week seven, I know. Day four. Easily over 100 guesses for the secret sound.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And it's still not the secret sound. I really thought that was going to go then. Oh, me too. My mouth went dry. You were doing stats and stuff. Yeah, you don't normally do stats. He doesn't normally do stats. I know, he had me.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Okay, well, Jessie, back to the drawing board. And I think if anything's come out of this, it's that Gary likes Pepsi, and that's disturbing, to say the least. Shocking. Shocking, to say the least. Not surprising. It really to say the least. Not surprising. It really isn't, no. All right, your next chance is 11, 1, 4 and 5. And every morning at 7 and 8, we'll keep going until it's 1.
Starting point is 00:49:54 It's all thanks to Save My Bacon. Next on the show, a lot of us could, a lot of us already in isolation. A lot of New Zealanders spending a couple of weeks in isolation. How do we stay fit and healthy? Yeah. Well, Han Romano is joining us in next to tell us how to do that. Burpees in your living room. She's definitely going to say burpees and then she's lost me because I'm allergic to burpees. I hate them. Burpees are the Pepsi of the fitness world. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:35 The government today will announce new measures on public gatherings, which I'd imagine will be banned, large numbers anyway. And I know Dunedin is dealing with the problem of students wanting to storm Hyde Street despite parties being cancelled. So that's happening. It's weird. I guess some people are not taking what's happening seriously. Actually, I saw a video online of Italians. It's actually been out a couple of days.
Starting point is 00:51:02 There's subtitles because obviously they're speaking Italian, but it's people filming videos to themselves 10 days later saying, we wish we'd taken this more seriously. So they're filming it now. Yes. Talking to themselves 10 days ago. Yeah. And it's powerful.
Starting point is 00:51:19 I mean, there's subtitles, so you can obviously work out what they're saying, but it's powerful. I think their death toll went up significantly overnight as well. Yeah, it's about to surpass China's. So a lot of New Zealanders are already self-isolating. People that have been overseas and have just returned, people that may have been in contact, and it is something, sadly, that a lot of us are going to have to do.
Starting point is 00:51:38 A lot of the radio shows in the building are already broadcasting from their homes today. And I was waiting for our guests to come in, but of course, we're not bringing in any guests anymore for their safety, for our safety. So joining us on the phone is Han Romano, health and fitness coach. Good morning, Han. Good morning, team. How are you doing today?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Good. Thank you. Now, I guess a lot of people are worried about spending a lot of time at home, and there could be the case where we have to spend weeks at home. 100%. It's madness. It is. So how do we, apart from burpees, how do we keep fit in our home?
Starting point is 00:52:15 Burpees are off the cards. No burpees. That's the first thing everyone asks me, you know, being an online push trainer, they're like, so no burpees. There are thousands of other exercises other than burpees to keep you fit. I guarantee you that. This is refreshing, Han. I'm already listening more intently.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I love it. You know what? Having a healthy lifestyle is going to be hard, I think. You know, where we are all in self-isolation or, you know, we're not really allowed to go outside. But exercise is so important. You know, keeping healthy is so important. Do not let this virus be an excuse to just, you know, give up. Like it's, I feel like people are going to just go, you know what, I can't go to the gym. I can't go for a run. Oh, I just, I just won't do anything. And it's honestly, exercise is more than just the physical benefits.
Starting point is 00:53:06 There are so many more mentally benefits that you can actually, you know, get from exercise as well. What are the sort of the mental benefits? So mental benefits, at uni we used to call it, a lot of chemicals, endorphins in the brain, but it's called brain juice.
Starting point is 00:53:21 So your memory becomes sharper. You actually think a lot sharper. You know, if you did a workout this morning, you'd come to work and you'd actually be on fire. You know, endorphins help you create and feel mentally stronger. Actually, a true fact here, it creates new growth of the brain cells. So exercise keeps your brain young. It's a true fact, you know.
Starting point is 00:53:43 It's a true fact. Increases self-esteem, increases a bit of sleep, more energy. It actually creates stronger resilience, you know. Exercise keeps us to manage stress in a healthier way rather than a negative way. Right. So if a lot of us are going to be locked in our homes, it's going to be quite tempting to play the new Call of Duty on PlayStation
Starting point is 00:54:01 or binge in stream shows. What kind of exercises can we be doing in our house? So you want to create a normal routine. So if you're new normal now, you just have to adapt, right? I don't have one of those machines, the pull-up ones, and with the cables on it. Oh, my gosh, you don't need it. There are exercises called, obviously, burpees.
Starting point is 00:54:23 There's squats, there's print-ups, there's gorillas, there's tix-ups, there's straddles, there's mountain climbers. You can actually do fast feet on the spot. You can do high knees. You can do press-ups. You can do shoulder rehab. You can do inchworms.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Oh, I hate inchworms. Hell climbers. Those are things, eh? Mountain climbers. Mountain climbers. What did you say to those? Is there an exercise called ice cream for lunch? I mean, all in moderation, right?
Starting point is 00:54:50 All in moderation. Can you do your burpees? No. And I think as well, like, people are quite concerned about, you know, being at home and they're a little bit freaking out about it. So it only takes, you know, yesterday our workout was 18 minutes for my program. Like, it's really quite easy to do. And I only use a meter by meter.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Like, I'm sure at our home we have a meter by meter that's free that hasn't got toys or books or PlayStations around that you can move your body because there are so many benefits for your brain to stimulate, to keep healthy, to keep well during this kind of pandemic, shall we say. I've seen lots of people who schedule their days as well, so they break it down like here is work, here is where I do my chores, here is where I get a break, here is where I do my 18 minutes of exercise
Starting point is 00:55:37 because I feel like if you've got a schedule, you're more likely to stick to it and break down your day like that because otherwise I would just sit on the couch. Yeah. No, yeah, okay, so not a bad idea. All right, Han, so people can follow you on Instagram. Yes, go for it. Han Romano, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us today.
Starting point is 00:55:58 No problem, guys. I hope you all keep well and see you soon. Yep, no burpees for me, but I'll do the other ones you mentioned. Perfect, look forward to the third video.pees for me, but I'll do the other ones you mentioned. Perfect. Look forward to that video. Oh, my God. I can do an at-home fitness video. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Please can you? Yeah, that sounds great. You know what? We should look. Please can you? Hold on. I'm just going to have a look on YouTube and see if they've got aerobics Oz style. She doesn't remember when everybody's mums were doing aerobics Oz style.
Starting point is 00:56:24 From the 90s and 80s. Yeah. Wow. Aerobics Oz. Oh, there is. Brilliant. There is. I don't have a mini trampoline, though.
Starting point is 00:56:32 You don't need it, baby. Oh, okay, great. You just need a great attitude and a leotard. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. Hey, you on the phone. I bet I can guess your mum's name.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Brilliant. All right. Chels, good morning. Good morning. Chels. Short for Chelsea? Yeah, it is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:56 That's not one of my questions. I've got five questions. I'm going to ask you five questions. And then I'm going to have 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. Should I get that right, you win. $100. And then we go for a bonus round where I try to guess your dad's name, as yet haven't done it. But being close the last two weeks, right, had the right letter but the wrong name.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Yes. That's how we roll. Okay. So I've got five questions. Let's start. Question one. How's mum? Because I think mums at the moment are in two camps about COVID. They're either panicked or just think it's silly.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Just think it's silly. Right, okay. Which camp is your mum in? She thinks it's silly, but only because her travel plans are being cancelled. My mum's two. That's why my mum thinks it's silly. She's respecting it, but she thinks it's very silly.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Yeah. She's not a panicky mum. Yeah, okay. She's probably got enough in the pantry anyway. Probably. Yeah, probably. That's actually a good second question. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:57 Is your mum the sort of person that has enough in the pantry and the freezer to make do for a couple of weeks if she had to stay home? Yeah, I'd say more likely a few months because growing up, Dad was a seasonal worker, so we've sort of, you know, had to be prepared just in case throughout the year. That's good.
Starting point is 00:58:16 So they're prepared. Okay, that's good. That's good. What are your siblings' names? Michelle and Ashley. Michelle, Ashley and Chelsea. See, again, I think you should ask for the mum's siblings. Last time, you didn't change the exact name.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Okay, you like a challenge. Because I think those are fairly traditional names. How many have I got left? Two to go? Yeah, two questions. Two to go. Those are fairly traditional names. How many have I got left? Two to go? Yeah, two questions. Two to go. My letter, I don't think I've ever asked how old their mum is.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Well, you can ask. How old is your mum? That's a great question. You don't know how old your mum is? I think she is 64. Okay, all right. Around that age, I'm not 100%. I can't believe you don't know your mum's age. I know.
Starting point is 00:59:09 I can't remember exactly. Can't you? You don't know the year you were born. Yeah, I know, but my maths is poor. It's not great. Okay, okay. So one question left, Bourne. Your mum, how does she have her coffee?
Starting point is 00:59:26 I was just thinking that question. Psychic. Luckily, she drinks coffee. She has a tiny bit of milk. But no sugar? No. But, like, if she went to a cafe, she doesn't... What does she order?
Starting point is 00:59:40 She wouldn't go to a cafe. I'm not giving them bloody $5.50 when I can make it at home. It's like the people who take two bags to cafes and just order a glass of hot water. Oh, of course, yeah. Do people do that? Yeah. Wait a second, Megan, your cafe. Yeah, but they wouldn't go.
Starting point is 01:00:00 If they're going by themselves, they generally don't do it. Wait, so do you give them a cup of hot water for free? Yeah. No. Because they've ordered a cup of hot water. That's what they want. You can't order a cup of hot water. That's not a menu item.
Starting point is 01:00:11 That costs you money. Yeah, but generally you're hoping they're going to buy something else. Do they? Well, they're usually with people. They wouldn't be buying a whole meal. Don't come in here and order a scone and a cup of hot water. The customer's always right, especially in these times. No, they're not. No, they're bloody not.
Starting point is 01:00:25 No, they're not. Oh, you're fair enough. We'll give them anything. Please come. Okay, next thing people will be bringing their own buns and patties to McDonald's and they won't be able to do anything about it. Okay. Yeah, just a couple of pickles in that sauce, please. Yeah, well.
Starting point is 01:00:47 I've put together a list, but I'm thinking maybe I've shot at the young end of the spectrum. Oh, really? Okay. Okay. All right, well, Vaughn, you have 15 seconds to name Chelsa's mum. Chelsa, if you hear Vaughn say your mum's name, yell out, that's my mum.
Starting point is 01:01:01 Are we ready? I'm ready. All right, let's go. Colleen. Lisa. Wendy. Michelle. Rachel, Nicola, Raewyn, Joanne, Angela, Sarah, Tracy, Karen, Tanya. That's my mum. What? Which one? Karen.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Yes! Is that our second Karen? We had Karen last week. No, we had Karen the first week. The first week, and that was the first name Vaughn said, and it was Karen. Yes! Oh, Chels, that's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Karen, who loves a cup of hot water and BYO tea bags. Yes. Now, Vaughn Smith, you get one guess at Chels' dad's name. Now, if you can do this, Chels, you will not just take home $100. You'll take home $200. Are we allowed to brainstorm? Is anybody else vibing a David? I'm just vibing a David.
Starting point is 01:01:53 No, I was vibing a Peter. I'm not vibing a Peter. I'm thinking a... Karen and Peter. Karen and Peter. Karen and Dave. It's going to be a name like that, I think. I'm not vibing a Dave.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Kazza and Dave? Stephen looked like an old mate's name, eh? What about a... Like, just straight up, John. Karen and John. Isn't that your... No, my dad's name's John.
Starting point is 01:02:20 John and Bev. Bev and John. It's a classic name. It is. I don't think we've ever guessed it John You've got to settle on one Vaughn What is Chelsa's dad's name? I think I think Pappas is onto something over there We don't listen to Megan
Starting point is 01:02:38 Why not? She's planted the seed She's wooded it She's put a bit of blood and bone around the bottom of it And it's It's sprouted I. She's put a bit of blood and bone around the bottom of it, and it's sprouted. I can't get her. Lock in John.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Megan, you nailed it. That's my dad. Go this round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. You did it. Yes. Karen and John.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Oh, my God. With our powers combined, we are Captain Planet. That is definitely some parent names, eh? That's the first time we've ever done it. Do you know what's really freaky, though, is that Peter and David are my uncles. Oh, my God! Okay, I'm just going to go out there and say it.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I'm a psychic. Excuse me, I came up with Peter and John. You're a psychic too. I am. Buy our book. Also, you're not getting $400, Chelsea. So stop it. We'll just keep spitballing names.
Starting point is 01:03:35 Chelsea, congratulations, $200. I think we needed that as a nation today. Shit, that felt good. I see why you do that. Yeah, it feels good. Real jazzed power. Real jazzed, man felt good. Like, oh, I see why you do that. Yeah, it feels good. Real jazzed power. Real jazzed, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Hey, well, you could always open a psychic caravan, Megan, if all this turns to shit. No, because... No, the people that go to psychic caravans aren't going to see the other side of this thing, are they? Vaughan. I was thinking more social distancing. Oh, yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:04:03 You can't be in a caravan. Yeah, true. Very small space. Drive-thru psychic. Yeah, yeah, right. You can't be in a caravan. Yeah, true. Very small space. A drive-thru psychic. Yeah, okay, cool. An open field psychic. Can you sit at the other end of the field? You're like, I feel like, is there a granddad here?
Starting point is 01:04:18 Your granddad says hello. What? What? Your granddad says hello. I can't hear you. Come closer. No way. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 01:04:35 ZM. It's time for Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, tay. Today's fact of the day is about Carmen Sandiego. We're in the world. Where is Carmen Sandiego? Carmen Sandiego. Thank you. But you didn't join that flinch.
Starting point is 01:05:03 I don't do singing, you know that. So Carmen Sandiego, if you didn't join in, Fletch. I don't do singing, you know that. So Carmen Sandiego, if you don't know, Carmen Sandiego started out as one of the really early computer games. It was you'd pop a little disc in the computer there and you'd play and you'd try to track down Carmen Sandiego and all the clues of where she was were like, I don't know where she's gone, but she said she was packing some dinero. And you'd be like, what currency is that?
Starting point is 01:05:27 It's dinero. It's a great way of learning as a kid, wasn't it? Yeah, and you learn all around the world. You shit around the world. I mean, she'd be absolutely screwed right now. There'd be no flights. Unless she had a private jet. Which I think she might have because she was like a spy or something,
Starting point is 01:05:41 wasn't she? She was the bad guy originally, right? But then later on in the piece, I'm pretty sure she became like an anti-hero. Right. Because there was a TV, I'm sure, I felt like Netflix were chucking together a... There was a TV show in the 90s.
Starting point is 01:05:55 And there was a game show. A game show, wasn't there? The game show is kind of what we want to talk about. Isn't Gina Rodriguez the latest Carmen Sandiego? Is she? Yeah, I love her. That's what she's... Okay, so the latest Carmen Sandiego? Is she? Yeah, love her. That's right. Okay, so she's Carmen Sandiego.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Well, today's Fact of the Day is about the Carmen Sandiego game show. Yep. Because the band that sung the Carmen Sandiego theme tune is still a band. Now, this is the Carmen Sandiego theme tune. They're an acapella group. This is all done. Oh no, this is the new one. Oh, okay, right. Let me get to the We're in the World
Starting point is 01:06:36 is Carmen San Diego. But they did the original one. Right. They called them back in to the studio to do the new Carmen Sandiego because they still tour. Oh, okay. And if you go to one of their gigs, they sing the original Carmen Sandiego theme tune.
Starting point is 01:06:52 That's so cool. As one of their songs. Let's be honest, that's probably why people go. This is the new one. This must be for your Jenna Rod Reggae's version. But they did the For the Game show. This must be for your Gina Rodriguez version. But they did the For the Game show. Yeah, right. Where kids answer questions around the world and try to catch Carmen Sandiego.
Starting point is 01:07:11 So they're still a band. They're called Rockapella. And if you go to one of their shows, I believe their encore. Yep. Their encore song is the theme song from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I do a fair bit of tinkering,
Starting point is 01:07:42 and when I'm tinkering, like mowing the lawns. Yep. Building things. Tinkering. Tinkering, like mowing the lawns. Yep. Building things. Tinkering. Tinkering. Yep. I listen to podcasts. Yep.
Starting point is 01:07:50 And I found one because I've caught up with everybody. Conan O'Brien does one every week. Yeah. That's my favorite. Always makes me laugh. It's so ridiculous. Yep. But I've been listening to a bit of Alec Baldwin's podcast.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Do you know how he's got a podcast? Is he a bit crazy though? Yeah, a little bit. But you kind of got to a bit of Alec Baldwin's podcast. Do you know how he's got a podcast? Is he a bit crazy though? Yeah, a little bit. You kind of got to pick and choose because he interviews people. Oh, so he interviews other celebrities. Yeah. Right, okay. But I just stumbled across this one because it was talked about in another podcast.
Starting point is 01:08:18 And it is called Where Should We Begin? Right. And it is actual marriage or relationship counselling sessions recorded with the therapist. So the therapist is Esther. Is that legal? Well, no, she's got their permission. They remain anonymous.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Their names are never mentioned. And they say at the start that sometimes they edit out details that would really make it easy to identify with people. So I listened to the first one. I was like, I don't know if I'm easy to identify with people. So I listened to the first one. I was like, I don't know if I'm going to be into it. I listened to the first one and I was like, oh, I'm into it. I'm into it.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Is it not weird that you don't know them at all? No, I like that. It's juicy. But also like you hear things that they mention and you're like, oh, okay, I've experienced that in some way in my relationship. And it also helps that the therapist, Esther, has a voice. This is a little bit of the trailer for it. When you pick a partner, you pick a story. And often you will be recruited for a play that you didn't audition for.
Starting point is 01:09:18 I told her I didn't know it was going to be like this, that once we had a child that I would be like downgraded. Because it's now like all about the kids. You can both tell me all kinds of things. And I can listen to each of you. I'm married to none of you. So it's very easy. But you need to reach each other. Her voice is amazing.
Starting point is 01:09:40 So episode one was, like, an hour long. Yeah. That's the one I've listened to fully. Yeah. So basically it's been a year since the husband had an affair. Oh, yeah. And the wife is like getting on with him, but she feels like the romance, the love is everything's gone.
Starting point is 01:09:56 It's gone, yeah. And they try to like get to the bottom of it because he wants to stay married and she's like, well, I can stay in a loveless relationship, I guess, but he doesn't want her to have to do that. Oh my God. And you don't get to the bottom of it,
Starting point is 01:10:07 but you hear, what, they just leave it hanging. All these, well, she gives them, because it's only one session and I'm imagining this is something that takes quite a few sessions.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Or it might be a whole bunch edited to be the length of one session. Surely she's got to follow up and tell us where everyone's at. Well, maybe she does because there's like
Starting point is 01:10:21 three seasons. Right, okay. And I'm only on to episode two. So this is how much it got me with episode one. Yeah, right. I was like, oh, I'm in. And the episode two that I've started is about a lesbian couple who had kids and one of them loves being a mother.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Yeah. And when the partner gets home from work and is like, well, now I need some emotional bonding time with you, she's like, well, I'm exhausted. Yeah, right, okay. I'm emotionally bonded out because I've been spending all day with the kids. And it's just like, if you've had kids, you know, that stage where your kids are young is hard on relationships. And it's kind of like there's been something in every episode that you're like,
Starting point is 01:10:56 okay, you can learn from it. Not to that extent, but there's aspects that you maybe see in your own relationship. Yeah, I was going to say, this is like putting a toe into couples therapy yourself. Yeah. Because when I went through therapy, I was like, man, that's something that everyone should do. Just because we're not experts at dealing with people, you don't know always how to communicate the best.
Starting point is 01:11:15 100%. So that's like, you definitely get something out of that. You'd be like, okay, I can put that into my relationship. That's what I thought listening to them. I was like, I need it. You can take a bit on board. Yeah. And it's free.
Starting point is 01:11:27 And it's free. It's free. What was I? I heard you're getting excited about episode three. What's that about? Episode three is called Speak to Me in French. Yeah. Because they've all got like names.
Starting point is 01:11:37 Yeah, right. The first one was called I've Had Better. Because at one stage, that's what the wife says. Because they're talking about their sex life. Oh, wow. I've had better. You don't say that. I know.
Starting point is 01:11:47 You just don't. That's why, because it's just such a, oh, damn, part of the episode. Episode three is called Speak to Me in French. A husband and wife meet while deeply committed to the evangelical faith and didn't even kiss until their wedding day. And then she said, for her, that kiss felt like kissing her brother. So Esther gets creative in an effort to help them create
Starting point is 01:12:08 a new sexual relationship outside of their intense friendship always try before you buy good lord that's the only one she's gonna have for the rest of her life
Starting point is 01:12:17 it's like even if you're gonna online shop you go into a shop and try it on in a shop in an online shop so that's trying before you buy but you have a different
Starting point is 01:12:26 source, you know. Alright, well yeah, if you want to check that podcast out, it's called Where Should We Begin?
