Secret Sound, Top 6, and a microbiologist weighs in on coronavirusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletchvorna Megan. The podcast. Welcome to the show, Fletchvorna Megan, who are unfortunately, probably like you, still at work today because they didn't win $25 million. In the lotto. I'm kind of glad it was split between two people. $50 million is just too much for one person.

I mean, I would have coped. I would have coped. You would have been... I would have coped. Okay. Yeah, we can. You would have been straight to Italy to buy some shoes. Oh, 100%.

It's just the... Although there's a lot of coronavirus in Italy at the moment, so you have to hold off your shopping trip. No pasta. No pasta.

They sold out of pasta. Do you know my supermarket sold out of pasta? It's because it's... You think about it, it lasts... How long does it last in that bag for? You get a tin of tomatoes and some pasta. And baby, my supermarket sold out of pasta? It's because it's, you think about it, it lasts, how long does it last in that bag for? You get a tin of tomatoes and some

pasta. And baby, you got yourself an apocalypse mate. A bit of grated cheese. Keep that in an airtight container though, that's not apocalypse food cheese. No. Unfortunately. No. Requires refrigeration. But no, one confirmed case in New Zealand, right? And people

went nuts. A woman in hers, and apparently she's okay. She's doing okay. She's in a stable condition. Yeah. Yeah. In hospital. She's not roaming the streets, coughing on people's faces or anything like that. But by all means, go crazy.

Go crazy with fear and panic. Yeah, I was going to go to the supermarket on Saturday, and I read all these stories. I was like, no, it's not that place. I loved how people thought, you know, because it spreads quickly through a crowd. And they thought, heck, we better prepare for this problem of not being able to be in crowds by going into a huge crowd. Yeah. At the supermarket.

It's very bizarre. But I can see how it happens because one person does it and then I was like do I need to go get toilet paper? I can't because you've already taken it all. It's all gone. In the apocalypse we're going to forgive each other for having a poo and then just jumping straight in the shower, right? Oh absolutely.

Because that was my plan. I'd rather just buy pasta and stock up on food. Like actual needs. Like people buying car loads of toilet paper. Yeah. But no, I think all will be forgiven with a little splash and dash, to be honest. Well, you've got a swimming pool.

I'm not going in the swimming pool. No, God, no. Okay, now I'm putting my foot down. Shower, okay. Swimming pool, no. All right, the top six coming up. Yeah, Apple apparently don't like villains using iPhones in movies. A director has come out and said that they were told not to use an iPhone for the villains.

Right. Because villains don't use iPhones. Right. Or they don't want to be associated with villains. They're on, what's another phone brand? Samsung or Huawei. Huawei. They're rocking a Huawei.

Right, okay. Huawei. Take a great photo, though, those villains. On their Huawei. Take a great photo. But the top six are the brands that you won't see villains using. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time.

Story time. Three news headlines that I've found online. Odd, quirky news stories. Vaughan and Megan, you've got to pick one only. The others, we bin them and you never find out about them. Headline one, little white lie for public good. Headline two, nurse asks China to assign her boyfriend for all her coronavirus work.

And headline three, dry ice challenge doesn't end well. I know the dry ice challenge. Okay. This was a Russian Instagram influencer. Yeah. They were having a pool party. And someone dumped a lot of dry ice into the pool, hoping to create a smoky effect.

A visual illusion for your 25 kgs. Graham. 25 kgs of dry ice? Yeah. Do you remember that time? I'm not a scientist, but I don't think that's a good idea. It exploded, Megan. Three people died.

Do you remember that time we put one cube of dry ice in a giant old Coke bottle? Yeah. Yeah, and then it explodes. An explosion, like, reverberated around the neighbourhood. Was there no one there that was like, this is a bad idea? Well, apparently not, no. Whoa. In a room full of Instagram influencers,

people are not likely to say this is a bad idea if someone tells them it's going to be a great pick for the gram. Yeah, true. All right, so not that, so do you want Little White Lie for public good, number one, or Nurse Asking China to Find Her a Boyfriend? Little White Lie for public good. Little White Lie, happy with that one?

Yeah. Okay, well, we go now to Meryl in Wisconsin and the M Merrill Police Department who have posted on their Facebook page a PSA which has since caught on with many police Facebook pages now copying their stand with their PSA. A warning, if you've recently purchased meth, it may be contaminated with the coronavirus.

Please take it to the Merrill Police Station Department and we will test it for free. If you're not comfortable going into an office setting, please request an officer and they'll test your meth in the privacy of your own home. Please spread the word. We are here for you. Oh, wow.

No one's doing that, are they? No. Well, I haven't heard any reports, but it has been shared and it's gone viral and many other police stations, apparently 20 others across America, have also reposted and shared that advice. Oh my God.

But confirmed. They're just having... They're just trying to Fish It's a wide net Obviously I don't know if it Could contain coronavirus Well it could if somebody Licked it

But then don't you Don't you light it I don't know You smoke it right So that it wouldn't survive The heat The virus Oh yeah

But standby coming Dave You're so smart I wouldn't even think of that Well they should put me In charge of The centre of disease control Is that what you're saying Yeah We set everything on fire You're so smart. I wouldn't even think of that. Well, they should put me in charge of the Centre of Disease Control. Is that what you're saying? Yeah.

We set everything on fire. That'll stop corona. That would be a great idea. Yeah, sure. Okay. Let's say it's survive in lava. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast.

ZM. I don't, I try not to, what's a nice way of putting it? Flatulate. flatulate. Flatulate. Fart. Fart in front of my husband just because it's embarrassing and it's just, I don't. He doesn't either. It's just the only time it happens is if it's accidental.

Right. There was one accidentally recently when we were doing our private Pilates. That's right. I remember you told us about that. It was a cute little toot. I mean, as far as farts go, it was real cute. Okay. And your wife

doesn't fart or you never know when she's been number twos and taller. Nope. None of that. Do you fart in front of her? Of course. And then loudly every day. I try to every day. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, there's been a study done on how it affects your relationship

because I was always like, I don't want to fart. And we're not one of those couples that like go to the toilet in front of each other. Yeah. I find that a little bit weird. I've been trying to pull back on that a little bit. And yesterday was a great example. I said, I'll wait till you're finished to go to the toilet.

And she said, no, we're in a hurry. We're leaving soon. Just go. So I started and she I said, oh, wait till you're finished to go to the toilet. And she said, no, we're in a hurry. We're leaving soon. Just go. So I started. And she was like, oh, my God. Wait, did you play the number two? You don't do number twos in front of someone. Yeah.

No. She told me to. She said we had to go. But you've got a separate toilet. So weird. She said I wasn't allowed to use it because my sister and her family were staying. And what if they wanted to use it or the smell wafted into the hallway? She said, I'll take the bullet.

But then I was like, this is why I said I would use the other toilet because the minute I started, she's like, get out. I was like, yeah, but this is what shit does. It stinks. That is so messed up. That is disgusting. You have two toilets.

Yeah. But she told me I wasn't allowed. I said I would just use the other one. You're allowed to go a number one if someone's in the shower. That's fine. But not a number I wasn't allowed. I said I would just use the other one. You're allowed to go a number one if someone's in the shower. That's fine. But not a number two. That is filthy, especially your number twos.

Yeah. Yeah, it'd been a pretty meaty weekend. Pretty meaty weekend. It'd been a little bit naughty. Well, I don't know so much about going to the bathroom, but a study's been done on what the effect farting in front of each other has. Right. And it's actually good. So if you fart in front of each other has. Right. And it's actually good.

So if you fart in front of each other early in a relationship, you're more likely to stay together and live healthier lives. So the earlier you start tooting. Just let out a little toot. It's better for your relationship. What if Mr. Toyboy on the first couple of dates had just let out a

little toot? If it's accidental, it would have been like, hee hee hee hee. But what if he'd just been like, let rip, hee, yes, and said something like that?

You know, I'm not like a lads, lads, lads kind of chick. Like, I don't really like lads, lads, lads.

What if Mr. Toyboy, out of nowhere, pulled up the do-they over both your heads and was like, brrrr. No. Even now,

that would be like. Would that take you by surprise? If he did that, would you be like, what No. Even now, that would be like... Would that take you by surprise? If he did that, would you be like, what's up? Yeah, I'd be like, what's wrong with you? Like, do you just want this to be over now? You've read the study. It's good. Yeah, but like a Dutch oven's a next thing.

Like, that's a... Yeah, right. That's not pleasant for anyone. Well, Vaughan gave his wife a Dutch bathroom. And that's going strong. Your marriage, isn't it? It's going lovely. It's baffling us all. ZM's Flet Well, Vaughan gave his wife a Dutch bathroom. And that's going strong. Your marriage, isn't it? It's going lovely. It's baffling us all.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. It's Vaughan, Alan, Joseph Smith here. And Joseph, there's my confirmation name from when mum was like, do the last bit of the Catholic thing. And I was like, you have got to be kidding me. I'm a teenager. How dare you? But anyway.

You just told me about that recently, that you get a confirmation name. And it has to be something. A saint. So you have four names. Yeah. It's cool. Because, yeah, there's a year take on in the middle name of a saint or whatever. I asked for Jesus.

That was a contentious issue. But you don't put that on your drivers. Nah. Well, then what's the point? What's the point? Is a what? Hey, what's the point? What's the point? Is a what? Hey, what's the point of everything? Good call.

And anything. But Anna's got one too. Hey, we just bonded last week over our failed Catholicism. Except she used to hold the cross. I was never involved with that involved. Yeah, mine's St. Victoria. Just Victoria. Boring.

No, I'm a saint. I'm a saint. I don't say Vaughan, Ellen, St Joseph. Do you get to choose? Like, can I choose Sinequa? No, because that's not a saint. I want the sexiest saint name. Saint Sinequa. What's the sexiest saint name? A list of saints.

It's not Victoria. There's no Saint Cathy. There would be. Saint Catherine. Or Saint Catherine. Saint Chaz. I don't know if there'd be A St. Sharon Right okay There's a A saint

Just along the line of Shaniqua There's Shushanak Oh there you go Oh St. Shushanak Yeah I like that

You'd be more of a Megan Louise Shushanak You'd be more of a Oh there's There's a few there Okay Gobnate That could be yours Fletch St. Gobnate That could be yours

Fletch St Gobnate Fitting Fitting So fitting Excuse me You could be St Ursula Megan

Like Ursula Of the Little Mermaid Or like Ursula Carlson Big fan Or the Little Mermaid Yeah there's a few names There to pick from But I think the

I don't want to be St Gobby It's really me St Gobdogs Yeah, there's a few names there to pick from. But I think the... I don't want to be St. Gobby. That's really mean. St. Gobdoms. Stupid. Anyway, isn't it? All right.

There's St. Aelia... That almost looks like a sweet word. Anyway, it's Lent now if you're Catholic. That means in the 40 days leading up to it. It ends on the Thursday before Good Friday. Oh, my God. This is that movie, 40 Days. 40 Days, where Josh Hart gives up

playing with himself. Are you not allowed to during Lent? Well, no, you're not supposed to at any time. Got on there. I wonder why no one

wants a joy. What does Lent mean? So you give up something to remind yourself of the sacrifices. Yeah. You give up something, it might be sweets

or whatever. What's the Pope urge this year? Pope Francis, aka Little Sparrow, remember how he looks like? Yeah, he does. He has said, give up trolling,

which you wouldn't have said would be the most Catholic thing to do anyway. Would Jesus have trolled? Well, he might have been a stuff commenter. We don't know. Oh, God, I hope not. We don't know.

He might have got angry over bicycle lanes. We don't know. You just don't know someone until they pop up in your feed and you see them commenting on a stuff article. And you're like, oh, that's where you stand on that. Well, apparently the Pope is the target of a lot of trolling from like conservative Catholics who think he's a little bit loose goose. Yeah, right. Well apparently The Pope is The target of a lot of trolling From like Conservative Catholics

Who think he's a little bit Loose goose Yeah right And so he's like Oh well I know about this Being on the receiving end of it It's not very nice And if you're doing it

You should give it up Because you'll find After 40 days You didn't need it Well that'd be an easy one To give up So then you can still Play with yourself

Oh could you what You'd actually have More time too Double down on that effort It's a gobby still play with you. Oh, could you what? You'd actually have more time too. Double down on that effort. It's a gobby. Excuse me. Carl, Peter, Gobnate.

I've got to find out more about this. Saint Gobnate. Saint Gobnate. Well, I'm still a saint. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Well, the coronavirus, which is now, what are we calling it? COVID-19.

Oh, my God. Did you see Corona coming out in America over the weekend and saying they've taken like a... Was it $400 million loss or something? Yeah. Taken a huge hit because people think you get Corona. 38% of surveyed Americans would never drink it again. Isn't that nuts?

But coronavirus is just the name for a whole bunch of viruses. So it's a term that's been around forever. Well, sadly, it is affecting the global economy and airlines especially. A lot of airlines around the world have slashed flights. A lot of reports of planes flying empty. That's crazy. And only, you know, half kind of full, some flights.

And in response to this, over the weekend, you may have seen Air New Zealand had quite a few cheap flights to Aussie. The trans-Tasman. I don't think I've seen flights for, some of them were $69. Yeah, nice. I don't think I've ever seen flights to Aussie that cheap in ages. Nah. Like, when was the last time you saw seen flights to Aussie that cheap in ages. Nah. Like, when was the last time you saw a flight to Aussie that low?

Like, even when they're on, like, Grab a Seat or Special, they're not. Still like $100. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they have announced to Air New Zealand today that, and I believe it's from 9 o'clock this morning, there will be $9 Grab a Seat fares, and there'll be 1,000 of them. To where?

Around New Zealand. Around New Zealand. Around New Zealand. Yes. So domestically you could finally get to go home to Nelson. Because it's cheaper to go to Australia

than go to my home. Sometimes it is, yeah. So nine o'clock this morning. So what's the idea of it? Just to get people on the plane so at least it's making

some money rather than no money. Because at the moment people are scared to go anywhere. Right. But then I would have thought you wouldn't be... Not nationally. I'd still book nationally.

Yeah. Like, you'd be fine, but maybe people aren't. What's it going to take for you to wear a face mask? I don't, I mean, I don't, from what I've read, it's a waste of time. Unless you're sick, it stops other people getting your coughs and your, you know, when you open your mouth. But I think it's's a waste of time. Unless you're sick, it stops other people getting your coughs when you open your mouth. But I think it's just a waste of time. Right.

From what I've read. Yeah. And so I don't think I'll ever wear a face mask. Would you? I'd only wear one if everyone else was because I wouldn't want everyone to be like, idiot. But what are you thinking about? Because this is the dilemma.

Executive intern Anya messaged me over the weekend. She was like, I need some travel advice. You saw some cheap specials to, where was it? Vietnam in August. Yeah. And you were like, these are super cheap, but do I book? Yeah. And I was like.

It's scary. Well, what do you do? But what's scary? The fact that you might not be able to go. They might like stop you. Yeah you or that you might get sick. At this stage, I personally am not super worried about getting sick. I don't feel too stressed about that. It's more like, yeah, close to the time.

Are they going to start cancelling flights? Like what's the dealio with insurance? So insurance, it's a known event now. So unless if you've got travel coming up and you booked it and had travel insurance before I believe a certain date, the 31st of January, just looking here, for one travel insurance company, then

you're fine, I believe. But if you're booking after that date, travel insurance isn't going to help you. I didn't know that. So if you book it now and it's a known event, they're like, see ya, you're on your own. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Travel insurance always has that fine print. The way that I'd look at it is

if you want to go to Vietnam and it's so bad, the airline's not going to fly there, so they'll give you your money back, surely. For those airfares. Yeah, true. Because we could get to August and we'll be fine, you know, or we'll all be living in our homes and not able to go outside. And then I wish

that I'd gone to the supermarket this last weekend. What about all the Kiwis that are planning to go to Coachella, Fletch? This is, again, it's a very good call. I don't know.

But then you said people will have to wear masks there anyway because of dust storms. So you could just be like, oh yeah, get a bandana. No, I'm talking about just getting there.

No, I'm just talking about getting there. Yeah, that's the thing. Good luck with that. Who knows? Who knows how it's going? This is the moment I get to gloat because I'm talking about just getting there. No, I'm just talking about getting there. Yeah. Ah. Good luck with that. Who knows? Who knows how it's going? This is the moment I get to gloat because I'm not actually going. See, it's like, ah.

Ha ha. Yeah. Did you start a global pandemic just to ruin Fletcher's holiday because you were jealous? From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Today's Top Six 6 dealing with brands. Because apparently a director has said that Apple iPhones aren't to be used by villains. Now this is from Apple itself.

Right. Apparently. They're the ones who say it. It's a rule. But like, they call them evil geniuses, you know. They're not going to use some clunky old device. No, they're going to use the sleekest technology. They'll be like, whoa, it's good for the evil genius.

Because, you know, villains always, especially by James Bond movies, always have really great architectural layers, don't they? Yeah. Layers where they hang out. And they want the best for their layers. Their design, they're into design. But, you know, sure. Yeah.

Okay, Apple. Well, this is Rian Johnson the guy who directed The Last Jedi Star Wars and that movie Knives Out that I haven't seen

but I'm hearing great things about yeah it's like a murder mystery isn't it Daniel Craig Chris Evans so many famous people

in it yeah great ensemble cast great for Meghan Markle's first acting outing that sort of ensemble cast

yeah but they said Apple does not want villains or villainous characters using iPhones so maybe if in a movie out of that sort of ensemble cast. But they said Apple does not want villains or villainous characters using iPhones. So maybe if in a movie, one of the characters seems okay, but they've got a phone that's not an iPhone,

that could be a little bit of a sign that they're going to go villainy. So the top six other brands that bad guys aren't allowed to use. Number six, you won't see a bad guy eating a Big Mac. They'll slam a double waffle with cheese. Is that the villain's choice? They've got to keep their hands

off the special sauce. Right, okay. Yeah. No, just don't stop at Macca's. Carry right on. I could stop at KFC. Yeah. It's weird though

that they have to get permission to use these things. Yeah. I thought people would just be stoked their products are on screen for free. I don't know. Because what is the,

you think about Pulp Fiction's line about McDonald's. They talk all about what, you know, a quarter pound is called in France. Yeah, and then he shoots his head off. Yeah. But that movie's really old. You think these might be rules that have come about a little bit later on.

Right. Number five on the list of the top six other brands bad guys aren't allowed to use on screen are Google. Probably why villains Bing things and use. Bing. Man, have you ever seen anyone use Bing? You're just like, what are you doing? What was it?

Who are you? What had default Bing? You had to change it. Was it our old work computers? I think so, yeah. You had to go in and change your default search engine to Google because otherwise it was binging. No one's binging.

No one's binging. No one's binging. That's probably why villains lose, to be honest. Yeah. It's because they're using Bing to do some central searches. Half the search results. Number four on the list of the top six other brands bad guys aren't allowed to use

are John Deere. If a bad guy's got a tractor, it won't be a John Deere. It'll be a nondescript tractor brand. Number three on the list of the top six other brands bad guys aren't allowed

to use eBay they're doing some online shopping they're probably using Wish to be honest every time I get targeted advertising

from Wish it looks like something a bad guy would torture people with face masks with just like mouth holes yeah right

they're zipped as well and like those batons they look like big batons. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But they're batons with like multiple things. You need to poke their eye out. Hit them on the head, poke the eye out. I don't know what that little thing is that comes up from the side. No. It looks like a branch, a tree branch or something. That goes up your nose and it vibrates. Oh, right.

Okay. Yeah. And they spill the secrets. Yes. Number two on the list of the top six other brands bad guys aren't allowed to use are Coke. Let's face it. Villains are Pepsi people and Pepsi people are villains. Yes.

Yeah. Can I have a Coke? Oh, we don't have Coke. Is Pepsi okay? What? Did you just say that? No, I'm leaving. I'm about to become a villain, so yeah, I probably will have a Pepsi. And number one on the list of the top six other brands bad guys aren't allowed to use are Disney.

Even Disney villains aren't allowed to say they watch Disney films. Disney wants nothing to do with the bad guys. That is today's top six. Soundkeeper Gary looking refreshed from his weekend. Hey, guys. Yep, two weddings on the weekend. Congratulations, Claire and Liam and also Billy and Adrian. You officiated them? Yes, I did.

Two? How much do you charge for a wedding? Don't ask him that. Yeah. What do you mean? Well, that's why you're doing it, isn't it? It is. What do you love?

He loves love. You love love. Fun fact, though. Do you want to know what song is, like, uber popular for walking down the aisle? Ed Sheeran is not making any appearances. Is it a Post Malone song? So you have your kiss and now pronounce your husband and wife. Justin Bieber, yummy.

No. Watermelon sugar Harry Styles. Adore you, Harry Styles. No, I don't know. Smash Mouth, I'm a believer. Every couple is always playing that. It's the new Grease Megamatch. When they're walking down the aisle.

Oh, they have a pash. They say husband and wife. What kind of huckery weddings are you playing together? They have a pash. They say husband and wife. What kind of huckery weddings are you putting together? They have a pash. Hey, each to their own. They have a pash and then walk out to Shrek. Each to their own? It's everybody.

Shrek. And then that's a huck face. Dern, dern, dern, dern. And I'm a believer. Doesn't that make sense? Saw her face and now he's a believer. That's weird. That's weird. That's weird.

Just playing devil's advocate. Oh, yeah, right. Okay. All right, let's welcome Max to the show. Good morning, Max. Yeah, mate. Are you married? Do you have a wedding song?

No, I just got engaged last year. Now, we got a song for you to walk down the aisle, Max. Would you walk down the aisle with a smash mouth? Oh, it's a bit of a smash mouth, maybe, mate. Doesn't sound like it, does it? He's a classy man now, Max. All right, Max, we have a jackpot. $65,000, the current jackpot.

This is the sound. That $65,000 is yours, if you can tell us what that sound is. Yeah, sweet as. I think it's an industrial blind from like an apartment or a building in town being opened and closed. Like a Venetian blind? Yeah, sort of like the grey ones, the grey light sort of, it's like a plasticky sort of material.

Right, okay. Like a louver. Do you mean like a louver more than a blind? Yeah, sort of. Right, okay. Like a louver. Do you mean like a louver? More than a blind? Yeah, sort of. Like a blind, yeah. Max, do you have one of these yourself, and you've been playing with it?

No, I've just used them before, and I've listened to it a few times on YouTube, just the sound just opening up and closing, and it sounds pretty similar. And also, there's a photo of Gary sitting in front of one on the Facebook page. Oh, okay. And it's been seen on the page. Okay.

Max. Yep. Good luck with your wedding. This is not the secret sound, unfortunately. No, that's all good, man. If you do need a celebration, Gary's apparently super cheap. He won't tell us how much though, will he? He won't say what he's worth.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. My best friend, she made a revelation to me yesterday as she was driving away, leaving my house. She was like, oh my God, I bought something. And when I say goodbye to someone, I'm up high and they're down low. So I wasn't going to like go down the stairs and go to a car and have it. I couldn't be bothered. You just waved from your balcony like the queen.

I waved from my balcony. Goodbye. I was like, goodbye. So she's like, never mind. I'll have to show you another time. And she's like, I know. I'll send you a picture of it. Right.

Okay. So she's really excited about this new purchase And she's already been using it for a while She sends me a photo of her new beaded seat cover What is she living in the 80s or 90s? I don't even know where she got it from I feel like there wasn't a time when you couldn't get in a taxi And they had a beaded car seat cover

Or your grandparents didn't have a beaded car seat cover Yeah I feel like lately wasn't a time when you couldn't get in a taxi and they had a beaded car seat cover. Or your grandparents didn't have a beaded car seat cover. Yeah. I feel like lately I haven't seen them. But remember they used to, didn't they used to be like two-tone brown or something? Yeah. Yeah. And they were an infomercial special, weren't they? Yeah.

There was an infomercial for them. Yeah. She would like it noted that hers are like chic black. Like a matte black. It's like a glossy black. I don Like a matte black. It's like a... I don't think that matters. It's still a beaded car seat cover. But also, she deals with more traffic than I do.

She's like, it's really good for your butt and your back. When you're sitting in the car, it's massaging. It's massaging you. Well, she loves it. She's very excited about it. It sounds like an Uber driver. A beaded car seat cover. It sounds horrible.

Yeah. She's all about it. So I haven't yet tried it myself. Well, that's the thing. I've never tried it. So maybe I shouldn't judge. But we're knocking, aren't we? We're knocking before we're trying.

The thing is, they just look hideous. Yeah. I mean, even if it's matte black, it's going to look hideous, isn't it? There's beads on your car seat. It might be good. Like it might massage you. It might feel nice. Yeah, right. But I did have a laugh at her. But it might be good. Like, it might massage you. It might feel nice. Yeah, right.

But I did have a laugh at her. Right. Nana perches. Yeah. It was like Fletcher's old long-handled scrubbing brush for his back. Did you actually buy one? Do you know, ages ago, I did have a scrubbing brush for my back. It was, like, real bougie.

It was a wooden stick with one of those sponges on the end. No, it was like a loafer. What do you call them? A loafer. Like a loafer. A loafer. But no, it was one of those

things that everyone thinks comes from the sea but it's not. Pumice. No, it's like a gourd. Yeah, but it was real good. It's like a dried out interior of a pumpkin

or something. Yeah, get it out, get it on your back. And then I don't know why but when I moved I didn't bring that and I've always thought because you know now I moved, I didn't bring that. And I've always thought,

because you know, now I use my Japanese bath towel. Japanese exfoliating towel. So I don't need my, but yeah, people did mock me for that. They were just like, what are you, 80? Yeah, and is there such thing

as like a bougie back scratcher? Cleaner? Not really. I'm looking at getting a pumice done for the feet. Well, that's a nana purchase. Did your nana have a pumice done in the shower or bath when you were growing up? I think my mum did.

But the thing that grosses me out about those is like everyone's rubbing their heels on them. And how porous it is. And the skin fills the holes. Yeah. And then no one's like washing that out. But then you leave it to dry and you give it a couple of taps. Right. And it rains down heel skin.

Well, could we take some calls this morning on your nana purchases? Because... Yeah, maybe you were mocked relentlessly by your friends for purchasing something that maybe is the domain of nanas or grandparents. Yeah. Or just older people. Because I had like a Royal Dalton teacup

because I drink a lot of tea. And so I was like, treat yourself, get yourself a proper teacup. That is real nann tea. Yeah. And so I was like, treat yourself, get yourself a proper tea cup. That is real nannery. Yeah. Just one? Yeah. So there's not a matching set?

No, you've got to have a set. No, no. Plus it was really expensive. How much was the tea cup? I think it was like 30 bucks for one tea cup. Did it come with a saucer? It's Royal Dalton. No, it was a mug

and it had floral patterns. So I don't know where it is now because I didn't. That is Nana. It doesn't go with all my other mugs. You see, if you'd had a matching seat, your Nana friend could have come around with her beaded car seat cover and had a matching cup of tea.

And you could have whinged about immigrants together. Even though your parents were immigrants, but you've forgotten about that. And so has my husband. Yeah, yeah, you've forgotten about that because they don't look like the other ones. Somebody said my brother used to have beaded seat covers in the 1990s. Yeah, yeah. You've forgotten about that because they don't look like the other ones. Somebody said, my brother used to have beaded seat covers in the 1990s. Yeah, right. Ripped all the hairs off his legs every time he turned a corner.

That's what I was going to say, yeah. The bead would roll. Not good for shorts. Yeah, okay. Not good for people with hairy legs. No, not good for them at all. No. We'll take some calls.

Mary Ann, what's your nana purchase? I still don't think it's a nana purchase. I have got a Peugeot 308. It's a lovely, lovely car. It's a luxury car. All my 20-something-year-old friends are going on about it being a nana car. The way you described it was very nana-y. It's a lovely car.

It's a luxury car. It's a luxury car. Yeah, okay. And I bet it's good for those small parking spaces too. Of course. Yeah. I had a Swift before this one, so it's actually bigger. Oh, okay, it's bigger. You're slowly upgrading to slightly bigger.

It isn't upgrade for me. That's great, but all your friends are just mocking you for having a nana car. Yes. I don't know why. I honestly don't think it's a nana car, but hey. What colour is it? It's like a light mahogany red taupe colour. That is such a nana colour.

That is such a nana colour. No. It's a mahogany. Marianne, thanks for your call. Joel, what was your nana purchase? Well, it's very similar to Fletcher's. I've got a lovely wooden stick

with a horse hair brush on the end of it that I use to wash my back because I cannot reach my back. I am so unflexible so I need to wash it somehow because I cannot reach my back. I am so unflexible. So I need to wash it somehow. A horse hair brush. Yeah, no, it's made out of horse hair. So it's got some, you know, it's quite tough.

Oh, yeah, right. It's got course. It's what you need. It's soft and coarse. It certainly is. It hangs on the outside of the shower. And so whenever any friends come and they just use our bathroom, they go, come back out, and they're like, what is that?

How long are the bristles? It's not like a horse's tail dripping outside the shower. It's about, like, half an inch. Yeah, see, I think you need to move to the Japanese bath towel, Joel, which people have messaged in about. I've never heard of the Japanese bath towel, Joel. Which people have messaged in about. I've never heard of the Japanese bath towel. Are you comfy? This could take a while.

Do you know, I think when I first talked about Japanese bath towels, I would have sold to the public of New Zealand, inadvertently, thousands. A bath towel influencer. Oh, it's a bath towel influencer. I'm going to go Google one. But you've got to go to like the Japan Mart and those you know, the one, 2, 3 dollar

stores have them. And yeah, they're just a long towel that's coarse and you get different coarseness. You know exfoliating gloves, Joel? Ever had an exfoliating glove? This is that material but it's a long towel that you can like hold each end of and use it to scrub your back in the old rubber

dub fac. Oh, they're so good. You lather them up with the soap, Joel, and you're just in heaven, I tell you. But you don't want to exfoliate every day, Joel. It's every few days. Spam for the eyes. Oh, so this is while you're showering, not after.

Yes, yes, yes, while you're showering. While you're showering, Joel, you lather it up and you get the soap on there, the liquid soap, and you're in heaven with that Japanese bath. Tell them I'm telling you. Well, there's another issue. We don't have any liquid soap. Gosh. Joel, you're in heaven with that Japanese bath, that's how I'm telling you. Well, there's another issue, we don't have any liquid soap. Gosh.

Joel, I don't know if we can be friends. I'm sorry. Bar soap! Get a bit of bar soap on there. Joel? Yeah. What does the rule book say? There are no rules. Exactly. You can let her out if you want. Thank you, Joel.

Some other text messages. I was just looking up the horse hair brush. This is quite her out whatever you want. Thank you, Joel. Some other text messages. I was just looking up the horse hair brush. Okay. This is quite a bougie looking one. That's on AliExpress. It'll be here in eight months.

Oh yeah, that's quite fun. Well, with coronavirus probably a year now. Yeah, maybe we won't get that. So factories aren't working and the pollution's gone down though, hasn't it? Yeah.

Has it? Yeah. Positives. I recently purchased Werther Originals and Eclairs. Eclairs are a bloody lovely toffee lolly. I won't have a bad word said about them.

No, they're disgusting. They're yum. You can get them accidentally, like in random gift packs or something. Somebody at the checkout said, my nana loves those too. I was like, hmm. Ouch. Okay, well, your Your Nana's cool Flesh, Vaughan and Megan

The Podcast ZM Our first show Back of the year For 2020 We asked for your resolutions And we said We would check up on you

On how those resolutions Were going Throughout the year To make sure you were Sticking to it And see how you were going And here we are in March And this is where we said

We were going to do our first check-in. It's March 2nd today. Kerry, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Now, we caught up with you on our first show back and this is what you said your resolution was. I need to save some money. My son's going to uni this year and I was

a bit inspired by a blog that I read of Sarah Wilson's in Australia to do no more online shopping. And how's that been going for you, Kerry? You know, it's been good. I have to be honest, I've made two online purchases, but they weren't clothes, Megan. They were jams and plums.

They were what? Plums were dams and plums. They were what? Plums? Jams and plums. Oh, jams and plums. Okay. Jams and plums from the Hawke's Bay. It's a big, long story, but basically I have to make it up to my family and try and remake this liqueur that my dad used to make.

I drank all of it. It's because you're not online shopping. You've picked up another vice. Yeah. Right. Danbury. Okay, see, to me, that's okay because that's food.

That comes under the food umbrella. So that's technically not clothing. It'll bring joy to my family and maybe some redemption. What was the other purchase though? The other thing was for my family. Yeah. And maybe some redemption. What was the other purchase though? The other thing was for my girlfriend. It also comes under the food category. I bought some sweet chilli sauce from Napoli Road and Kerikeri for her.

Oh, that sounds good. Because she raved about it. It's really good apparently. Because I love sweet chilli sauce. Oh, that's a good one. Check it out. Okay, so technically you haven't done any clothes shopping and it's March the 2nd, Kerry.

Yeah. Congratulations. Yay. Woo. This is great. That's success. I think, yeah, I think that's a success, Kerry. But we haven't faced our first true test, a change of season.

Oh, yeah. Well, we will. Are we going to check in again? Yeah, I reckon we do. March, April, May, June. Yeah, I reckon. 1st of June. Okay, let's do 1st of June. 1st of June. All right, Kerry, thank you. Yeah, I reckon we do. March, April, May, June. Yeah, I reckon. 1st of June. Okay, there's two 1sts of June.

1st of June. All right, Kerry, thank you. Gary, good morning. Morning. All right. It does sound like you're outside. And at the start of the year, first show back, you said your resolution was this. I'm going to try and ride my push bike every day this year.

Gary. That was me. Did I say that? Hang on. Hang on. Let me just check I'm going to try To ride my push bike Every day this year

It does sound like you Gary Are you sure? You've got an unmistakable Accent Gary Oh well Well that's 61 days now Or 62 days of the year 62

I'm counting every one Gary How many days Have you not been On your push bike? I haven't been on it No days out many days have you not been on your push bike? I haven't been on it. No days out of the 62. I've been on every one so far.

Yay! Gary! Gary! Gary! Although, to be fair, it is summer, Gary. Yeah, it hasn't rained yet. I'm still waiting for that. Hopefully it doesn't rain until the 1st of June.

I can do this again. My man, there are people in very dry conditions That probably don't care about you riding your bike We just want it to rain That's alright, well Gary Success and we'll catch up with you on the 1st of June To see how that's going AJ, good morning

Oh, g'day guys Now this was your resolution on our first show back I have quite a bit of expensive Film equipment and stuff. So I want to get out there and I want to start making a few more short films. How's that going, AJ? Not well.

It sucks too because you've got to follow two success stories. I know. But I've done some little like, little film projects. Like, I filmed someone singing and stuff. Right. Was there much editing with that, though? Because you did say editing. I did.

So I just got back from Canada, and I kind of shot some little bits over there, so I'll need to edit that up. So maybe a success story. Well, you've had a holiday is what you've done. I love things on Instagram. I was going to make short films. I had a holiday.

I had a holiday. Well, I'm going to say, AJ, that's not a success, but you do have until June the 1st to claw this back. Okay. We'll put that down as a work in progress. Anonymous, good morning. Hello. Now, this was your New Year's resolution when we spoke to you first show back in January.

My partner and I are getting married next month, and then we want to get stuck into trying for a baby. So that means you got married in February? Last week, actually. Last week. Oh, yay. So you did say that after that you wanted to get stuck in to try and have a baby.

Can I just ask, did you walk down the aisle to Smash Mouth, I'm a Believer? Oh, God, no. No, thank you. Thank goodness, some classy people. So... We did say this was going to be awkward catching up because... And we said this is a much later in the year sort of situation,

so we'll talk to you again on June 1st. But how's the practice going? I must say, you guys do remind me of my mother. Have you had a baby yet? Yes, exactly. We got married last week, Mum. It was last week, and in the eyes of the man above, we've only officially just been allowed to start trying, guys.

Yeah, of course. Of course. Yeah. The first time, yeah. Wow, how was the first time? Sorry, that was wild, Lena. I don't know. I don't have to answer that.

Yeah, this is awkward. It was more of a, like, sarcastic question, because obviously it wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's fine. Well, put it this way, we didn't want to make the marriage at the wedding because we're both very drunk. You didn't even try.

Lots of people don't. Lots of people don't. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's true. People don't. Thank you, Megan. Yeah, so no, I'm not pregnant, guys, at the moment, but we are trying. Okay.

Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right, well, that was a little bit moment, but we are trying. Okay. Yeah. Fantastic. Fantastic. All right. Well, that was a little bit awkward, as we predicted in early January. But we'll come back to you on the 1st of June. Yeah. Okay.

Sounds great. All right. Fantastic. Well, I think overall, pretty good success there. Yeah. I wouldn't say we had any definite, like, failures. I mean, AJ. A little. He went on holiday and he pointed his camera

at something. So technically not a failure. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. We're joined in studio by a microbiologist that studies bad bacteria.

Not the good bacteria. We've got to stop the bad bacteria. Susie Wiles, good morning. Good morning. Thanks for popping in. Oh, my pleasure. This is going to be a busy time for you. Yeahiles, good morning. Good morning. Thanks for popping in. Oh, my pleasure. This is going to be a busy time for you.

Yeah. It's been an early morning. Everybody wants to know about coronavirus and should we be storming our local supermarket and taking all the baked beans and toilet paper? No. Short answer. Right.

So when you saw scenes at the weekend of hour-long lines at the supermarket, empty shelves, were you just like, what are you doing? I can kind of see why people are doing it, because they're scared. And I guess my message to everyone is don't be scared. It's not unreasonable to prepare, but storming the supermarket for a toilet roll

is not preparation. Yeah, right. Basically, you know, my message is, okay, so let's start with coronavirus is not here, right? Yes, we have a person who has coronavirus, COVID-19. They are being treated, but this virus is not circulating around in the community. So you are no more at risk of catching it today than you were last week, right? This is the case we've been waiting for for weeks.

The person, you know, did everything right. Their family did everything right. They had traveled from overseas. They developed symptoms. They called Healthline. They are now being treated. And any people they came in contact with have also been isolated. It is textbook.

It's beautiful. It's exactly the way this is supposed to work. What we need to prepare ourselves for is the eventuality, and this isn't a certainty that this will even happen, if this virus starts circulating in the community, which it is in some other countries. And then all we need to be thinking about is if you had to be isolated at home for a couple of weeks, what would you need? Like the taps are still going to run, you know, there's still going to be water, you're going to have access to your kitchen, you're not going to need a little camping stove, right what what do you need you need a

pantry with a couple of weeks worth of stuff yummy things that we normally eat uh enough toilet roll for two weeks that's not that's that's not everything on the shelves um you know just you you need um sanitary products you may start thinking about the things in your weekly shop right that's all you really need. You don't need to be going crazy. Am I allowed to go downstairs and get the Uber Eats from the Uber Eats driver?

Or is that a no-go? Just get them to leave it on the doorstep and go drive away and then you go get it. And then go get it. You should have a washing basket out the window and a rope. That would have been so cool.

Everybody wanted a pulley system when they had a tree hut, right? Okay. That would have been awesome. My message to everyone, though, is actually we need to stop thinking about ourselves and thinking about the more vulnerable people in our communities. Yeah.

So do they have everything they need? You know, so for a lot of people, if they get an infection, it will not be pleasant. It's sounding like it might be like, you know, proper flu. It's going to be a couple of weeks of feeling pretty bad. But that's, you know, you'll come out of it. It's the people who are really vulnerable. So the older people, those with underlying health issues, diabetes, you know, asthma,

they're the ones we need to protect. Megan, Megan. Okay, we have an asthmatic in the room. So you're the people that we need to protect and we need to be thinking about okay so how do we make sure that you know you're safe that you have everything you need i mean so for example if you're an asthmatic do you have enough inhalers um you know if you're on medication talk to your doctor about getting a little bit extra so that you know if you again were isolated you would have these things that's what we need to think about we need to not panic panic and think, oh, my goodness, all about me.

We need to be thinking about the vulnerable people in our communities. Right. Wow. Okay. Well, that's good to know. What is the likelihood then you think that we would get coronavirus here, as you say, going around the community? What do you think the likelihood is? That's really hard to say.

I mean, it all depends on what happens in a few places around the world at the moment so it's really clear that china have got the virus under control there they have gone to unprecedented steps and so we know it's under control because the number of cases are now starting to drop so they have you know managed to isolate everyone they managed to stop the spread but that's not true in some other countries um and that's what's concerning is how many countries are going to be like that and do they have everything they need to be able to stop that transmission

and the WHO put out a report and they're really clear actually loads of countries are not prepared mentally or physically to do what China has done and so that's what we need to be thinking about and really what happens here is going to be dependent

on what happens in the rest of the world. What about wearing masks? Yes or no? Great question. Waste of time? So masks will not protect you from getting an infection. They are, well, so they don't fit very well on most people. Certainly if you have a beard, they won't fit at all.

They tend, if you're not used to wearing a mask, most people will fiddle with them. So you'll touch your face. And that's one of the main forms of transmission of this virus is basically on your hands, picking it up from surfaces and things. They are really good for people who have the virus to stop them from dropping as many droplets. So if you've got a cough and a sneeze,

if you wear this, then you'll capture lots of those in everything. So, and that's why, you know, in this case, we're not too concerned about many of the passengers on the plane that was with this patient in New Zealand because they were wearing a mask. They were doing everything that they could have done to reduce that spread.

So healthy people, you know, and I guess what worries me about lots of healthy people wearing masks is if you see them all down the street, that makes you think, oh my goodness, there's lots of infected people. It's not true, right? So that's what we need to be sort of mindful of. That we don't create more panic

just by thinking that we're trying to protect ourselves and actually we're not. Now, the heralds upstairs, do you want to go tell them that? Oh. I can swipe you in. I'll take you up. Because the big bold headlines and stuff,

that's not helping anybody, right? It's not helping anybody, no. I mean, the message needs to be really clear. Don't panic. Think about, you know, those around you. Stock up for a couple of weeks, but that's not right. In fact, you should do that gently, right? We are in no rush. You can just go every few days and pick up a couple of weeks, but that's not right. In fact, you should do that gently, right? We are in no rush.

You can just go every few days and pick up a couple of bits and pieces. There was also a point I saw people making over the weekend is we should have a couple of weeks of supplies. We live in New Zealand. Well, yes, exactly. We live in a country that is, you know, any minute away from a natural disaster,

you should have a couple of weeks in an emergency kit kind of ready. So go through your kit, because I know mine is about three years out of date, right? Go and make sure it's up to date. You know, but a lot of the things that we would put in that emergency kit are things for if we needed to leave the house really quickly. We don't want to be leaving the house in this case. We want to be staying put.

So things like, you know, have you got lots of entertainment? Are there books and games? And, you know, have you got lots of entertainment? Are there books and games? And, you know, how's your Netflix subscription? Thinking about things like, you know, can you do online banking? Talking to your employer or employees about making sure that everyone's, you know, able to work remotely if that's possible.

Really thinking about those things. There's another bit which is going to sound a bit morbid and and is not cause to panic um but it is worth thinking about have you got a will is it up to date uh what are your kind of end of life care kind of you know requests i'm not saying you're all going to die but we are though eventually well eventually exactly i mean so all of these are kind of good things to have in hand when you're not panicked right

these are good conversations to have with people around you for any eventuality yeah and now it's just a good time to go oh okay actually no I don't have a will I'll sort that out

yeah I'm not saying we're all gonna die yeah now eventually we will it's been very insightful and I think you've put

a lot of people's minds at rest yeah this morning including mine and I think you've put a lot of people's minds at rest this morning. Including mine. And I've got asthma. Right, and we're going to take care of you. We're going to look after you.

Are we born? Remember me from South. Last week, I was walking my daughter out of school when she started telling me about this new Jump Jam song that they'd been singing for Jump Jam. August, there is no song that says shake your bum hole. How does it go? Shake your bum hole.

Shake your bum hole. Shake your bum hole. I don't think if there was a song that even said shake your bum hole it would be appropriate for primary school children to be singing at school. So she, then we got in the car. We eventually worked out, after I put that on Instagram,

somebody suggested she may be singing this song you can hear in the background, Geronimo by Sheppard. So we worked that out and this is how she would sing along to it. Shake Your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole. We put that as a video. That got made into a video.

That got put online on Friday night. It was Friday night that we heard from the band themselves. Shepard got in touch. This is them watching the video. Oh, it's hilarious. We're changing the song And they did This is their cover Of their own song

Geronimo They're in their studio Yeah Oh yeah there was awards On the wall for how many Like versions of the song They've ever sung And they

I messaged them They told me they had Never heard The lyrics Shake your bottom hole Shake your bum hole. Really? To this.

But it's all I can hear now. Same. Yeah. Shake your bottom hole, shake your bottom hole. Shake your bottom hole, shake your bottom hole. Bums away, bums away, bums away. Shake your bottom hole. So good.

Brilliant. So good. Yeah, so that's how That ends up What have we Still How have they Never heard that

I don't know I guess I didn't Really think about it When I heard that song Did August now Know that they did A cover Yeah

Oh yeah What did she say Good Are they gonna Is it gonna be that From now on It should be They should do

A full version. Yeah, especially for Jump Jam. Yeah. All thanks to Save My Bacon. Making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. The one man that knows the secret sound, Soundkeeper Gary. Guys, we're in uncharted territory. This is $65,000 jackpot right now.

Never given away that much money with the secret sound, have we? Never before. And we're into week five now and no one's been able to guess what the sound is. And once again, I spent the weekend telling numerous people, I do not know the secret sound.

Yeah. They don't believe you though. No, they really don't. I still ask, is it this? I'm like, I literally just told you I don't believe you though. No, they really don't. Yeah. Still ask, is it this? I'm like, I literally just told you

I don't know what it is. Yeah, I was doing obviously the wedding on the weekend. That was the thing that just came up all the time. Hey mate,

50-50, 60-40. Because you can't even claim ignorance. Everyone knows you know the sound. Yeah, and they don't like it

when I say, look, I'm not telling you. They're like, come on, we've known each other for like five minutes now. Yeah, you can don't like it when I say, look, I'm not telling you. They're like, come on, we've known each other for like five minutes now. Yeah, you can trust me.

I won't tell anyone. Alright, well, playing this morning is Alina. Good morning, Alina. Hi. Alright, so, the secret sound, this is it. $65,000. We've never given away that much money before. It's all yours if you can tell us what that sound is.

Yeah. I think it's a desktop calendar getting put on a desk and then picking the paper up and ripping it off. One of those desktop calendars and it's like a triangle and on the left half there's a lovely mountain scene and the other side is a calendar. Too small for any real practical purpose. But the real estate agent just keeps sending me them.

So it's putting that calendar on and then ripping a page off. Yeah, like the carpet on the bottom, hitting the desk and then, yeah, picking a page off and ripping it off. That's a good one. When you said that, I was like, that's a bit of a silly guess. But then listening to that, that does fit, doesn't it? Mmm.

Because that tip fits here. It would be something silly like that that Gary would choose. Yeah. I'm not Ross Bottom. Oh, that'll do. Lena, how have you come across this guess? Has it been something you've got on your desk or is it just something you just feel that you think is the right answer?

Just the last clue with the new mount coming up and I just thought, you know, people go to work and they tear off their new piece like the new mount. Yeah. They do. There'll be a few people doing that today on the 2nd of March, won't there? Yeah. I'm just building up

the anticipation, Megan. I love hearing clues being interpreted in ways that I couldn't even imagine. Oh, that doesn't sound good. It's not good. Lena, that's not the secret sound,

sorry, but I love that guest. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, we cross now to executive intern Anya in the producer's booth, who we need to talk about now because something that we've noticed happening for how long has this been going on for? Every day? It's the new job, new year. So it's since the start of the year.

Right, okay. New year, new bun bun. I do notice your boyfriend, who works in the same building, he will come in, just sneak in, just pop something on the desk, and bun bun skittles out. No, guys, we're not calling him that. Like a little bunny. Andrew.

Like a little bun bunny. No. Mr. Andrew. No, because Megan has Mr. Toyboy slash Andrew. It's Andy P and Andy S. It's Andy S. The Sluice Goose. Yeah, you can go with that. I think you'd has Mr. Toyboy slash Andrew. It's Andy P and Andy S. It's Andy S. The Sluice Goose. Yeah, you can go with that.

I think you'd prefer that. Bun Bun. We're sticking with Bun Buns? After we hear this story, Bun Buns fits so well with this cute little gesture. It is pretty cute. It's pretty cute. But it's unnecessary. What annoys me about what's going on?

Why is it unnecessary? It's unnecessary. Okay. Every morning. Girl needs to eat. Every morning. What does Mr. Bun Buns drop in? It's not Mr. Bun Buns. It's Lord Bun Buns.

Lord Bun Buns of Paddle Town. If Andrew has to be Mr. Toy Boy, then your Andrew has to be Mr. Bun Buns. Mr. Toy Boy of Kugerville and Lord Boon Boons of Cattlestown. Okay. He brings me three pieces of Weet-Bix. We just call them three Weet-Bix. We just call them three Weet-Bix. Three slices of Weet-A-Bix.

Now, that would be different if you could buy just a loaf of Weet-Bix and you could slice off your own Weet-Bix, but this is not. The Weet-Bix only comes as the bricks. Okay. So he brings me three Weet-Bix, but this is not. The Weet-Bix only comes as the bricks. Okay, so he brings me three Weet-Bix and a little bowl. So he works two floors above us, and he has a big box at his desk, brings it down, and then it's up to me to self-milk.

Never say that again! Oh my God. You just said that's the worst thing that has ever been said on this show. Oh, my God. In 16 years. Jesus. Whoa. Okay.

Can we? Wow. I mean, pour the milk in. Pour the milk in. Say that. We're going to have a broadcasting complaint about that. Anya, please watch your mouth. After she's self-milked, it's time for the Webex.

Wow. Good Lord. Wow. What time of the day does he drop these off? Have these been delivered for the day? Yeah, they have. They're just here. Have you milked yet?

Not yet. Any minute now. You can't milk during the show. There's no time for a mid-show milk. Wow. Can we move on? Is there a song we could play? No, no, no.

No? Okay, cool. So, you'll do that after the show is when you eat them. But he delivers them when he's obviously having his Weet-Bix. So, you'll do that after the show is when you eat them. But he delivers them when he's obviously having his Weet-Bix. It's unnecessary, though, because you could also have a box or bring them from home. Yeah, I could, but I'm just really bad at life, and I can't do that. And you guys are trying to save money, right?

We're trying to save money. He knows that if he does this, it's done. But then, Megan, you were saying you find this very cute. That's the thing. Like, you could bring your own box of Weet-Bix, but, like, it's a cute wee visit from Bumbuns. It's allowing him to be a provider. Yeah, and then you get to say hi, get a little smoochy, and then he's off again.

He doesn't really do the smooch, does he? Nah, but just business. Just business. Business Bix. No business transaction. Bumbuns Business Bix. He probably doesn't want to be here when you're self-milk. Guys, can we just move on from that little faux pas?

We're actually insulting if she's self-milked right in front of her. He could milk. He's just milked upstairs before he came down. Okay, we'll just move on. We're trying to move on. So we'd like to talk this morning, because I don't think you're alone maybe in the self-milking but the little

acts of cuteness that your partner does for you. And maybe it's every day like the three Weet-Bix in a bowl from Mr. Bun Buns. Or once a week. What are the cute little acts of love that your partner does? Yeah and you know

what I think there'll be some especially I think there'll be some, especially, I think there'll be some girls that would embarrass their partners with these little... No, don't be embarrassed. It's cute. It's nice to show you love someone. So we want to know from you this morning, are those things that you do for your partner

or they do for you, those cute little things? Jessica, good morning. Hi. Good. Now, what does your partner do for you? So every morning when he, like, he'll leave and go to work before me and he'll send me a message with, like, a few different little, like, cute quotes every single morning and then just say,

love you, have a good day. How does he find new ones every day? I don't know. Google. Does he have a repeated one and you're like, you've doubled up here? He does, yeah, but it's still cute. That's pretty

cute. He might have one of those quote of the day calendars. That's where he gets the quote from and then

he just belongs to a daily meme. Yeah, but what about, have you ever had an argument and then one morning he

hasn't sent you a cute meme? No, he's really good. He still will and every morning like I'll heart eyes it on Messenger and if we have And every morning, like, I'll heart-ize it on Messenger. And if we have had a fight, I just won't heart-ize them.

Oh, he still sends it. And you're like, no, not today. Cold shoulder today. What's that reaction? Yep. I'm stubborn. Brilliant. All right, Jessica, thanks for your call.

Danielle, what does your partner do for you? Or you do for them? We have a thing that we do for each other. So most mornings he'll send me, because we work in the same building, but most mornings before, because we live separately, he'll send me a message saying morning

and love you. And then by the time I usually come through to work it's, I've got the coffees and I'll call past his desk, drop his coffee off, kiss and then head down to my desk. Shit. So it's like with the Weet-Bix.

Did you say what? And then he's under your desk? No, no, no. And then I'll keep him down to my desk. Oh! Get it at work! We just laugh at each other like you've just said the most offensive thing.

I'm like, what's the matter? It sounded like you said it, and then he's under my desk. I was like, in the workplace? God. We were very perplexed. Oh, dear. I was like, oh, these people are absolutely appalled by this. Cute lights of love.

It's quite the idea. At the moment, I'm currently looking at the copies that I'm about to take into work. That you'll take to his desk then go down to her own desk. Got it. Yeah, got it. I blame my hearing loss for that. Some text messages.

Every time my husband does the grocery shopping he also buys me a bunch of flowers. That's going to blow out the grocery budget. He can't be doing the grocery shopping

that often. Because if you're doing that every week he's going to get a bunch of flowers every week. All the flowers. Hey, what's wrong with that every week, you've had a bunch of flowers every week. All the flowers. Hey, what's wrong with that?

No, nothing's wrong with it. It looks less guilty if you're doing it every week. So when you buy flowers once every six months, it's like, what's going on here? Well, suddenly the bunch of flowers is huge. Yeah, it's really stepped up. My partner says his alarm's 30 minutes before mine to get up and cook us breakfast every morning.

Oh, bleh. What? Imagine a cooked breakfast every morning. Oh, bleh. What? Imagine a cooked breakfast every morning. My husband has a cuddle alarm. A what? So like, he knows I, because I get up before him, so he gives me enough time to like get my makeup on and then he sets himself a cuddle alarm and that's when we have a little cuddle

and then he goes back to bed. Wait, he gets up out of bed when you've done the makeup? Sometimes, or just be like a little cuddle in bed. But you've just had your makeup done, you get your foundation on the the makeup. Sometimes, or just be like a little cuddle in bed and then I go. But you've just had your makeup done, you get your foundation on the pillowcases.

No, I'm not going face down on the pillow. Oh, well, not at that time of the week. Are you trying to outdo what I'm just saying? Jeez. Good Lord, you guys are just

I was trying to tell you a cute story about my personal life. No, stuff it. Somebody says my husband makes me lunch every day. When I get up to go to work, my lunch is ready and waiting. My husband sets an alarm every night at 8 p.m. It's the peppermint tea alarm.

Oh, shit. That's so cute. My husband brings me my vitamins and a glass of water each morning. But that's so when he poisons you, it doesn't look like it's out of place. It's a long game. It's a long game. Yes. Take your vitamin C, Karen.

Take it all. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. And it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is we've got Zeppelins to thank for pyjamas. Zeppelins? Zeppelins, you know. I didn't even know a Zeppelin was a thing other than lead.

Flying balloon. Lead zeppelin. Yeah. But you know lead zeppelin? Yeah. It's named after the zeppelin, the like blimp thing, but it's like a lead zeppelin obviously wouldn't fly because it would be made out of lead.

Oh my God. So I think it's like an ironic term, right? Yeah. That's so crazy. Who knew? Everybody. Everybody that had thought, that's a bit of a weird combination of words.

Why don't I remember that? I might be wrong. A zeppelin is a blimp. But more specifically, it was like one sort of blimp, right? It's a type of rigid airship named after the German Count Ferdinand. Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin.

Oh, so he got naming rights. Yeah. All right, so it had a rigid structure, whereas a blimp's just a big-ass balloon. Oh, so he got naming rights. Yeah. Oh, right. So he pioneered. He pioneered. Whereas a blimp's just a big-ass balloon. A big-ass balloon, yeah. So he pioneered a rigid airship development at the beginning of the 20th century.

Yeah. 1895. Well, it was those Zeppelins that were partaking in air raids in World War I. Okay. They'd be loaded up with bombs and just float. I don't know. You wouldn't want the wind to change too much otherwise a big rigid balloon

would get blown off course. But the fact that this often happened at night when a zeppelin could do its best sneaky zeppelining, meant that robes and long flowing gowns weren't really great to get out of the house in a hurry in.

So that was at the time that ladies started wearing pyjamas. Okay. Because they were more fitting because you were in a pant and a shirt. Yeah. Whereas if you ran outside in your nightie. Yeah. The Germans might see your foo-foo. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, if you fell over, yeah, everybody around you would see the foo-foo as well. So they put off the Luftwaffe. World War II. Oh, yeah, if you fell over, yeah, everybody around you would see the foo-foo as well. So they put off the Luftwaffe. World War II. Oh, yeah, of course. World War I, there wasn't the Luftwaffe. Could end the war. Could start a whole new one, really.

So, yeah, these pyjamas, civilian armour, as they were known, were the fashion choice of the ladies that it could afford them for a sleeping garment so that if it all went down, they could run outside and, you know, have a pair of pants on, chuck some shoes on, and they were kind of semi-dressed. And now we've got Peter Alexander. Yeah. Hasn't it just come so far?

Not really. It's pretty similar to how it was 100 years ago. So why did we start calling them pyjamas? Pyjamas. I don't have all the facts. I've got to look into why they're called pyjamas tomorrow. Okay. What are you Googling?

Well, I was going to Google, but if you want to do that tomorrow. Well, it's something else to delve into. Yeah, sure. I mean, the world's source of facts is somewhat finite. Might run out one day and have to rely on why they're called pyjamas. So today's fact of the day is pyjamas became popular for the ladies because the old traditional robe or nightingale situation wasn't ideal if you had to get out of the house at three o'clock in the morning because the Germans were dropping big bombs on your house.

Fact of the day, day, day, dayughn. Some of the 100 people, the only people that applied for a refund from Ticketmaster for the Elton John show. Surely the numbers somewhat bolstered after there was a story that 100 people had applied. You'd think so. I don't know how many was the final reading. I mean, I said from the start I didn't care, but if there was going to be free money handed out,

I wanted some free money. Because who doesn't want free money? You know? Yeah, I don't hate Elton John or anything, but if I was going to be free money handed out, I wanted some free money. Because who doesn't want free money? You know? Yeah, I don't hate out in genre or anything, but if I can get some free money, I'll get some free money. I'll get some free money. Well, the email has come through, and basically, it's like, no.

If I can summarise email, no. Nah. Nah. Nah, you're not getting money. Did they get fancy? As previously stated and reiterated by Consumer Protection New Zealand, the artist performed for more than 90 minutes, and as such, no refunds will be provided, nor will there be a rescheduled show. That's pretty definitive.

And then Ticketmaster basically passed the buck onto the promoter, saying the only agency able to make decisions about refunds is the promoter. And he has vehemently from the start said no. Because that was their official statement from the promoter was somewhat very matter of fact, wasn't it? No room for pleasantries. But so now I think if people want to take this further, they have to go to the tribunal. The tribunal. Tribunal.

The 98 others who made a request for refunds. people want to take this further, they have to go to the tribunal. The tribunal. Tribunal? Tribunal. The 98 others who made a request for refunds. Well, I'm just hoping one of them does it and we can tack on to their findings. You know? Right. Okay, but are they going to want to split like a lawyer's bill? Oh, no, there's no lawyer. No, apparently because didn't someone text him saying there's no lawyers at a tribunal?

If the Consumer Protection whatever it is said no that he played for an hour and a half I don't think you've got any chance with a tribunal. Well I'm hoping

someone upstairs in the news department follows this up with someone in the know. Yeah right. But I don't know. No. I mean

they've got to create more panic and supermarket chaos around coronavirus. Yeah. I think they're a bit busy at the moment. They've got their hands full with making people think the world's ending. Yeah, I think they're a bit busy at the moment. They've got their hands full

with making people think the world's ending. Yeah. So I don't know if they're going to want to get our hundred and something bucks back. I think also the fact that you went on the radio nationwide and said that you don't actually care, but you just wanted some money back. It's a principle of it though.

Yeah, right. I mean, it doesn't... Oh, I care a lot about principle. Big principle guy. And free money. Yeah. Especially if there's free money with that principle. Yeah, right. I mean, it doesn't... Oh, I care a lot about principle. Big principle guy. And free money. Yeah. Especially if there's free money with that principle.

Yeah. But I'm not angry at Alan John, but... I want some free money. I want free money. He's over in Australia at the moment performing his whole show.

Is he? Yeah. Has he got back in? He's got back in. A couple of limb sips. Unbelievable. A couple of limb sips. Bit of manuka honey.

Yeah, and he's fine. He's back on. He was probably doing that trick you told him to do. Swallow a whole tub of Vicks 44. Yeah of manuka honey. Yeah, and he's fine. He's back on. He was probably doing that trick you told him to do, swallow a whole tub of Vicks 44. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Vapor rub.

Vapor rub. Also, don't do that. I'm not encouraging it. Don't do it. But somebody said it works a treat. No, it doesn't. Don't do it. Fletchforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. Bad news if you sleep next to a snorer because a new study has found it is not good for your health. Like you'd probably predict anyway, right? Because you're not sleeping well. But you're not sleeping, yeah. But is it otherwise? Well, it's the level of noise that the study claims is unhealthy in regards to noise pollution.

If it's in excess of 53 decibels, that's been associated with adverse cardiovascular events in exposed populations. So in their experiment, they discovered that 14% of participants were snoring over 53 decibels, 66% were over 45. Wow. That's loud. How many, have you, you're just doing a quick Google? I've done a Google here of decibels and well-known sounds.

Okay. 50 decibels is light traffic or a refrigerator running. Oh, my God. Have you ever been in a motel or a hotel and the minibar fridge is like... I just unplug it. I don't care. I don't care if that cola... What about your UHT milk?

I don't care if that UHT milk goes off. Don't have a loud fridge in the hotel room. Right. The motel room. It's the electric engine on. Although once, I was in a hotel recently that had, it was all, it was like a, out of Mission Impossible fridge.

Out of a movie. So there was a notice on the fridge. It was like, if you take anything from this minibar and if 30 seconds passes, you will be charged. And it weighed everything. So you couldn't do that classic old thing where you'd take the chocolate bar but then nip down the dairy before checking out.

You couldn't do it because it was all done on weight and sensors or some magic. Which magic? How much money did they spend on this fridge they could have possibly lost by having a chocolate bar replaced? I know. No, but I think they saved on people.

No, because people would still need to restock the fridge. Yeah. Maybe they just don't need to spend as much time checking. Yeah. How much is that cost? But also they wouldn't let you put your own drinks in there to cool them down. Oh. Weird, eh?

That's not on. That's the point of having the fridge in there then. So what's it? And then in 60 is conversational speech or an air conditioner. So it's kind of in between those sounds if you think about that. Right. Okay. Yeah.

So if you're with a really loud snorer, then it's bad. Yeah. Okay. I don't know how loud would that be. Would that be comparable to a vacuum cleaner's loud would be louder than anybody snoring, right? Surely. But then some people love a bit of white noise. Yeah, but the snoring isn't white noise, is it?

White noise to me is just a harm. It's a background constant. But this is a... And there might be one of those... Oh, that's the worst, that one.
