Welcome to the Fleeche Warner Megan podcast brought to you by McCafe, the great barista made coffee on the go. Good morning. Megan's just had a great morning. I was just, I was clearing my DMs on my Instagram. I went to Booker Mormon last night. So everyone's like, how was that? Was it good? That kind of thing.

Isn't it great? And then in amongst those messages, someone wants to know if I would consider selling pictures of my feet. Yes, how much? Have they seen your feet? Talk to me, talk to me. I was thinking. Have they seen your little feet? They might be their kink.

I've got little stubbies and a couple of them are all webbed. But hey, maybe they're into that. Ask how much? No, I don't want to get into that. Is that... Because what's your price? Is that weird though, like if you're if you have a partner

and then you start like selling to him? You would obviously wish to check that with your partner. Mr Toyboy doesn't own your feet and it's good income. It's true. Wonderful income stream. He'd probably be like, well, at least someone likes your feed.

Should I ask? Just ask. You should. I want to know how much. And is it Instagram direct messages where you can make it disappear after one view? They could screen cap it, though. Yeah. But I was just thinking then you've got them on a feed them a little bit.

They'll be back for more. Yeah, right. We'll go for a very basic angle and then obviously if they're into it, they get a more suggestive pose. What if they come back and they're like $5? That's not enough, eh? That's not enough. But then how much is too much?

I have to get a decent payment on the first picture because I don't think they're coming back for a second picture. But you also, it can't be so much as to raise suspicions at the IRD. Right. Oh yeah, that's true. You've got to find your sweet spot for an unexplainable cash injection. Imagine going to court for

a cash under the table payment because someone wanted a sexy photo of your feet. Yeah. It just has to be an automatic payment of $5 every week or something. Yeah, labelled as reversed bank charges or something like that. Yeah. It just has to be an automatic payment of $5 every week or something. Yeah, labelled as reversed bank charges or something like that. Yeah. Sexy times.

Executive intern Anya, what's the jackpot for our secret sound this morning? $80,000. $80,000. $80,000. That is so much money. God. That's foot money. Foot money? Yeah, you could get lots of photos of feet, mate.

Well, this is The Secret Sound. And thanks to Save My Back, and we'll give you chances this morning at seven and eight to win that $80,000. The top six is coming up on the show. There is a new game you can buy. It's effectively real-life Cluedo. You're given a whole lot of cold case files,

and you can new solve the murder. So the top six are the board games that need a realistic version. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time, three news headlines. Quirky, odd, unusual news story headlines. And Vaughan and Megan picked one, and we delve into that story.

Headline one, innocent bike ride. Headline two, teacher in trouble for $50 payment to student. And headline three, always collect the points. Those are your headlines. Always collect the points. Was it innocent bike Ride? Yep, Innocent Bike Ride. That's story one.

Or Teacher in Trouble for $50 payment to student. That's headline two. Always collect the points? Always collect the points? What's the Innocent Bike Ride? That's not anything to do with people riding bikes naked, eh? No.

Because it wasn't at World Nude Bike Day or something over the weekend? Jeez, that's you've just got to do a lot of things off the bike.

A lot of gravel rash, lots of spots for gravel to get stuck. Wasn't that in Nelson? Yeah, Golden Bay. Did your parents do that? No. Part of the naturist club?

I don't know if they would ride a bike naked. It's not very flattering. How about at the very least? No. Part of the naturist club? I don't know if they would ride a bike naked. It's not very flattering. How about at the very least? No. Because you know when you sit over and it makes your guts go... Yeah. That's what bicycling is.

Yeah. And for guys, like the seat's squishing your junk, you know? Smashing it. Yeah. No, they didn't. Didn't participate in that. Okay, right. All right, so which one do you want?

Points then. Do you want points? You want that one? Yes. Always collect the points. Always collect the points. Yes, please. All right, we go now to America.

And a Boone County deputies on Thursday arrested a trio of men accused of stealing six cars and robbing others and using the money to go inside shopping at the mall. So they'd basically go through these cars, whatever they found, cash and cards, I don't know who's leaving cash and cards in their car, but people do. And it was one of them that undid the whole thing when they used a victim's credit card at Foot Locker but used his own Foot Locker rewards account to collect the points on the purchase.

The criminal used his Foot Locker rewards. Yes, his actual Foot Locker rewards card. Didn't want to miss out on the points. Yeah. Well, apparently they spent thousands. So, I mean, there'll be a lot of points. Wow. Even without the points

you would think they'd be able to say well this purchase happened at this time in Foot Locker and that wasn't me. Yeah. Security footage. Yeah. But then you don't have like their address their cell number

their email address their full name. Exactly, yeah. Right. Yeah, it wasn't the hardest case to crack and the three of them were arrested. Drinking got upsold on a pair of socks. Or that spray, that sneakers.

The spray. The spray. You're going to need this. Scotchgard equivalent. Yeah, yeah. Which I'll buy if I'm buying like white ones. Suede boots. Or anything suede.

You've got to get that stuff. No, the classic is, oh yeah, I've got some of that. Yeah, that's what I always say. I've still got some of that from the last time. And then just go somewhere like the supermarket and buy it where it's half price. I actually said, oh. I've still got some of that from the last time. And then just go somewhere at like the supermarket and buy it where it's half price. I actually said, oh, no, I've got some of that from the last one and they looked at me like, yeah, that's what we hear.

I was like, no, I actually do. Because I actually did. But also, I just don't want any. It's a valid response. But do they get like, huh? They must get like, huh, bit of... Commission. Bit of commish, eh?

Because God, they go hard on that in the socks. The socks. Easy commission on like hard. Commission. Bit of commish, eh? Because God, they go hard on that in the socks. The socks. Yeah. Easy commish on the socks. Easy commish. Easy. Easy commish on the socks. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. There was a game of ruggers yesterday between England and Wales. The old rugby. I don't know. I'm out. You did really good though to talk about rugby. The old rugby enemies. The old...

Foes. The old foes. The old same piece of land rugby guys. Because they're on the same bit of land, right? Yeah. So this was six minutes into it. England ended up winning this one. But six minutes into it, slight scuffle.

Okay. And it's at that point that an English prop by the name of Joe Marler This was six minutes into it. England ended up winning this one. But six minutes into it, slight scuffle. Okay. And it's at that point that an English prop by the name of Joe Marler grabbed the Welsh captain's penis. Also a bit of ball, apparently. Accidentally? No. Like a very intentional, would you call it a cupping? Or a pinch.

They described it as a, hold on, they had a great word. A pinch and twist? And there's footage of it. He was literally, I can show you a still, Magoos. He was literally facing the camera as he did it. Oh. Grabbed a handful of them. Oh, and the captain's looking down like, what's happening here, mate?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What is going on? Yeah, he did that. He definitely did that. Now, the punishment has not to be handed down. Right. Not yet handed down. But according to World Rugby Regulation 9.27,

this covers any incident against the good spirit of sportsmanship, states that grabbing, twisting twisting or squeezing the genitals and or breasts, in the case of females, can be punished by a 12-week ban at the lower end. Wow. That is so intentional. Wildly intentional. He's got to at least get 12 weeks. Top end, 24 weeks plus.

And the maximum possible sanction, 208 weeks. That's four years. You're done. There's no more rugby for you, right? Because if you high tackle someone, like there's argument there that you didn't mean to. You slipped up. They timed it wrong.

They went down, you went up. Whereas that, he has decided to grab another man's D&B. Yeah. Like that's completely intentional. And give it a bit of a twist. But how often does that stuff happen and we don't see it? Because, like, in an... I reckon more back in the day.

Right. Yeah, because they don't know how to get away with it. Like, the eye gouging. You just can't get away with it now. Yeah. Like, maybe if you're in a mall, maybe. Yeah. You've got to hope that the camera just can't see it in a little gap.

Because you hear about that happening in like water polo all the time because under the water no one can see. I've heard that. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that water polo is ruthless. Yeah. They obviously just thought no one was going to see and then when the captain was like, hey,

he would have been like, I don't know what you're talking about. Something about those swim caps, the perverts. What? They put on their little They put on their little Hmm I've got a little Wittered hat on It'll protect my ears

But I'll tell you What's not protected Your penis Under the water I don't know if that's Everybody that plays Water polo No

It's like guys and girls In water polo I knew girls that played Water polo I knew the girls Were always What? Giving it a nudge under the water.

Just be thankful you didn't see boys' charades there. Just stickulating. Yeah, or, you know, purposely getting an elbow into it. An elbow in the, yeah, wow. In the Faheen region. Yeah, that would hurt. Not as much as a guy, but it hurts. I'd imagine it would hurt.

Yeah. Well, I have enough trouble Staying afloat I don't need someone Playing with my balls as well ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast Tones and I sings the We all loved it initially

A little bit annoying Dance Monkey Dance Monkey Yes That's it She That song was massive. It was number one for weeks.

And she famously. Number one all over the world. Yeah. Like that, everywhere. I remember going overseas and Despacito was the one song you couldn't get away from. And then when I went overseas recently, Dance Monkey was the song that you couldn't get away from. So she originally was a busker in Byron Bay and she lived out of her van. Famously, there's lots of photos of

her living in her van. It's a mattress in the back. 30 countries. Number one. Number one in 30 countries. She has just bought a 5.1 million dollar mansion in the

Mornington Peninsula. This is in Australia. In Sydney? Yeah, I think that is. Right, okay. Good Lord. So this has its own gym. It's got massive land.

It's very private. It's got a pool. I beg your pardon. It's in Melbourne. Oh, right. Okay. It's got a gym. It's got a sauna from what I can see in the picture.

It looks incredible. At least two fireplaces, a massive kitchen. But yeah, $5.1 million. That's not all. She also bought another property. This one was only $800,000, but they're saying it looks like it was a gift. She gifted a house to maybe her parents or a friend or family member she bought two houses what i'd be worried that you couldn't like back it up with another yeah like that's the

thing like at least wait to buy a mansion until you've got i mean i don't know how much money has she earned from that song if it's been number one around the world? Heaps. You buy a mansion, it's like you've got to back that up with the upkeep. Yeah. Yeah, and this has got like gardens. Or gyms. Gyms. You need all the gyms.

You've got to pay all the gyms to maintain your garden. You've got to upkeep your pool and everything. The grounds. Wow. I think it's, how do you explain that fire? It's like an external fire inside. It'll like go through to the outside. Oh, like a double-sided gas fire.

It's a rich person's double-sided gas fire. That is so fancy. Man, that is so flash. So how much did she pay for the mansion? $5.1 million. And $800,000 for a second house for someone for a gift. Wow. Well, I'm glad that it's working out for her because, yeah,

she started as a busker living out of her van. So that's a trade-up. The first residential home in Victoria to be designed to the German Passive House Criteria, which means it's two and a half more energy efficient than the best current practices. Oh, wow. in Victoria to be designed to the German passive host criteria, which means it's two and a half more energy efficient than the best current practices. Oh, wow. Well, that means if she's a one-hit wonder,

at least her electricity bill will be low. And she won't be turning on that gas fireplace. No. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. In 2011, we got a movie with Gwyneth Paltrow called Contagion. It was all about like how a pandemic started and sweep the world and everyone got sick. She was patient zero, right? Yeah, it's on Netflix.

Is it? It's on Netflix. And it's getting lots of watch. I thought I searched it and I couldn't find it. Oh, maybe it's on American Netflix. Yeah, I don't know if it is. Because I just see all those stories saying that it's, um, let me look. Okay, thank you. Because

thousands of people around the world are apparently illegally downloading Contagion after coronavirus. And it sounds weird but I kind of get that just because everyone's interest is, you know, peaked. I kind of wanted to watch it too. Yeah, so it's not,

there's Pandemic, there's 93 Days, The Core. I don't know if that's about. Yeah, because I did search it. I was like, let's watch that Gwyneth Paltrow movie. Right, so yeah,

because we've got way different Netflix in America. I just remember. Yeah, way better. They've got more choice. After watching that movie, you didn't want to touch anything. Yeah, right.

Well, so hence why people are illegally downloading it. Because they can't find it on Netflix. So I don't even really know how to download stuff, to be honest. You sounded really guilty when you said that. No, I've never downloaded. I've never downloaded anything. I get my friends to do it. And then you acquire it.

And then you acquire it. Okay. I don't know if that makes it any less legal. She's old school. Yeah. I don't buy drugs. My friends buy them. That's basically what you've just said there.

Okay. I see. Yeah. But yeah, it's been downloaded about 200 times a day globally. Do you know, and there's that game as well. I've been playing it again. I thought. It's so much fun. It's such a day globally. Do you know, in this game as well, I've been playing it again. It's such a fun game. Some countries, they took it out of the app store.

Yeah, they've banned it. Did they? Yeah. Plague Incorporated. But why? I used to play that all the time like 10 years ago. Why would they take it out of the app store? Don't know. It's changed heaps. So there's still the traditional,

there's all these different sorts of sicknesses you can be, but I played one and it was really fun. There's one where you can do a fake news and you've got to

convince the world that this fake news story is real. So you pick, when you start playing it, you pick who, what it's about. So is it like a

financial fake news? Is it immigration fake news? And then you start by saying who's to blame. Right. And that's where you can say like immigrants and immigrants are to blame. And this is all, this was started by, and you have to pick who started it.

Right. Okay. So it's eerily similar to what's happening right now. Just modern day stuff. Yeah, it sounds crazy, but it's, yeah. It's happening. Sadly, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. From the ZM Think Tank,

this is the Top 6. Hello there. If you love the game of Cluedo, well, it's been stepped up. Unsolved Case Files is a new game that Cluedo, well, it's been stepped up. Unsolved Case Files is a new game that you can buy. So, it's like Cluedo.

It just happens, right? You have to work out who did it, with what, and where. That's what you have to work out. But this is more like actual case files. This has the information. This is just a lazy police force That's like well we've tried our best

Some of them might be based on actual famous cases Just the elements of it But the names and everything And the situations have completely changed But there's four different case files Harmony Ashcroft, Jamie Banks, Max Carhill, and Jane Doe. And this is going to be in development where they're working on more and more. Right.

So when you solve it, you can get your next case file and work on it. Isn't that the best thing about all the true crime podcasts that have been? You know, that have taken on cold cases? Yeah. And that have actually found people and the internet's just all kind of pitched in. It's great. Each case file includes photographs, newspaper clippings, suspect details, fingerprints,

autopsy reports and more. And you've got to have access to the internet so you can use them online. If I get some new information on the course of my investigation, am I allowed to get some stuff off to the lab for testing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before the end of the episode? Tell you what, the lab's busy though. There might be a delay on those. Bing! Oh, your results are back.

Oh, fantastic. All within a handy 42 minute window. Yeah. So the top six other board games that need realistic versions. Number six on the list of the top six board games that need realistic ones. Operation. on the list of the top six board games that need realistic ones, Operation. I was going to say Operation.

You order a cadaver in the mail. Oh, God. And it has things hidden in it. How grim is that? And you've got to find them. Wow. It's the weirdest game in Treasure Hunt ever. That's what you do with it afterwards, I don't know,

because it'd be hard to fit in the wheelie bin. Isn't the next step being a serial killer? Yep. Yeah. Or you know, you get into the autopsy game. Number five on the list of the top six board games that need realistic versions are Mousetrap. You have

to try to trap an actual rat or mouse, except it's not the old snap trap, it's through a very detailed Rube Goldberg machine. That's one of those ones where you do one thing, it sets off the next thing, it's not the old snap trap. It's through a very detailed Rube Goldberg machine. That's one of those ones where you do one thing, it sets off the next thing, it sets off the next thing. I had that game when I was a kid. It was so disappointing. That was one of those games with the admin

that looked way cooler than the actual game. You should see modern day mouse trap. Is it good or rubbish? No, it's not nearly as good as the old one. But the old one wasn't good One, the ball rolls, the thing goes down And then the catch

Oh, rubbish Yeah, but at least the old one was You wind the thing Yeah, right The ball goes, it kicks the thing Down there The guy jumps into the tub The tub sets that thing off

because you can't be bothered cleaning it up. Well, you just blinded a lot of mortar over a wall trying to hit a ship. Oh, okay, yeah, right. Nice. Okay, cool. I like that. Yeah. Yeah.

That sounds so much fun. You can't see. Yeah. You just. But that's the game. You just got to keep going until you hit one. Yeah. Yeah.

And then hit it again and again and again. That sounds like terrorism. No, because it's okay. Because it's a game. Oh, right. It's a board game. They know. It's just an old ship.

Yeah, right. Okay. Number two on the list of the top six realistic board games, Monopoly. When you think about it, it's kind of, it's basically what boomers and property and business have done already. Yeah. They're just like, oh, more, more, more. Yeah.

Call them bonbons. And I can see that reluctance. You're wondering if it's all right to call them bonbons. You've had to endure something painful. It's not for me. Alright, we'll talk about that soon. Also, Vaughan was left to his own devices the weekend and he failed miserably. I am so disappointed.

I'm here, I'm alive. No, you're disappointed, but are you surprised? No, not at all. Absolutely not. We need to discuss this soon. All thanks to Save My Bacon, making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. Soundkeeper Gary, good morning. Good morning, guys.

All right, $80,000. I'm at a level now where I don't even know what you can buy with $80,000. It's so high. It's so much money. A really nice car. Oh, yeah. Lots of things. Lots of things.

But you're right. It is so much money that, like, it would be easy to just go out and blow a lot of it on shopping. But you want to, and I know I always say I want to hear from people saying that they want to spend it and be frivolous. But you give yourself a chunk, like you give yourself 10 to be frivolous and then you 7e to be responsible. Like a house deposit.

Is this like at a level now where we like get someone a finance advisor? The person who wins it being like, hey, we're just going to make sure you do this properly. Like Lotto. Yeah. And they give away the big ones. They have a few things to tick.

Yeah. Well, especially if it gets to $100,000. So $80,000 at the moment. This is the secret sound. Playing this morning, Stephen. Morning. How's it going? Good morning.

Good, mate. Good. All right. So this is the secret sound again. For $80, Stephen. Morning, how's it going? Good morning, good, mate, good. All right, so this is the secret sound again. For $80,000, what is it? Is it slime being chucked at something and then pulled off again by any chance? Slime.

Slime being chucked at a wall and then you peel it off. Oh, right. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that would explain the whole yeah that works doesn't it because okay steven how have you come about this guess um well i don't know the kids always play with it and god i know it's the worst very hard to get out of a long carpet. Yeah, definitely. Stephen.

Stephen, that is not what the secret sound is. All right, back to peeling that slime out of the carpet. Good luck, Stephen. We're going to have another chance for you this morning at 8 o'clock. All thanks to Save My Bacon. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We would like to talk now about what you have to watch because your partner does. Because in the producer's booth today, we have two producers who watched,

what is that called? Ultimate Fighting Club. Yeah, UFC for short. Well, it is MMA. Oh, okay. Is that what it stands for? Mixed martial arts. Ultimate Fighting Club?, UFC for sure Well, it is MMA Oh, okay Is that what it stands for? Mixed martial arts Ultimate Fighting Club?

Something like that Ultimate Fighting Champions Yeah, Ultimate Champions? Ultimate Fighting Chickens That's the brand But they're fighting MMA style, right? Mixed martial arts

And that's the brand Yeah Yeah, right Okay So, there was a big fight on at the weekend. How was it sold to you, Executive Intern Anya? This will be so cool. So Mr Bun Buns is like,

I've got something for us to watch tonight. Yeah. Right. And when he says he's got a surprise, it's not generally great when it's TV related. It's either that or it's a new car. Exactly, or it's like a Top Gear episode or something. I knew what I was getting in for.

And yeah, we had to watch the doof doofs. Throw some punchy punches. Right, okay. You had to watch UFC? Yes. How long did you last? Four minutes. So for the first three, no one actually touched each other.

They were just doing this little shimmy around the ring thing. Right. Lots of people were angry about that. Eh? There wasn't a lot of touching? Yeah, I think so. There was some booing. Oh, you were, okay.

The one that I've seen the most feedback on for the fight yesterday was the female title fight. They set upon each other. Pulverized. At the end, I thought it was somebody took a photo of the TV screen and put it up. I thought they must have taken it from a funny angle because one woman's head was all swollen.

I was like, we're not concerned. Should she not be in an ambulance on the way to a hospital? That looks like hemorrhaging. Mountie you you're made you're made to watch this all the time because your boyfriend

is big into this isn't he yeah so he is an MMA fighter yeah have you seen her boyfriend he'd kick your ass he wouldn't kick Megan's ass

he wouldn't I don't think he'd go back and kick anyone's ass kick your ass oh absolutely yeah so I'd run away

it's a regular feature he'd catch you there's no point running. Play dead. He's a bear. Sorry, Mountie. No, it's okay. We watch it whenever it's on, basically.

All the time. Yeah. How do you deal with that? No, but you... Because it's boring. A squirmy like me. I am. I did have to look away when Johanna got that big...

She knows. Haematoma. Is that what it is, a hematoma? That's what he said. Oh, right. So I'm like, yeah, I know way too much about the sport now. But you don't actually necessarily enjoy it. I mean, it's all about making an event of it,

so I usually have a... To be honest, it seems like one of those sports that's more, for me, it would be more about the wings. Yeah. There's a lot of food. Snacks, cocktails. You know that that's just called dinner, right? No, but it's at a different time of the day.

Oh, right. And then you can have dinner after. Oh, right, so you get more food. Okay, I like that idea. All right, well, I think we should take some calls on this. Because I'm sure there would be people out there like Mountie and Executive Intern Anya that are made to watch something because their partner watches it. We don't all have exactly the same interests.

That's true. So sometimes you're made to sit down and watch something that you don't necessarily watch. Do you and Mr. Toyboy differ on anything that you're watching? Not really. He doesn't like a lot of mushy stuff. Right. He doesn't like, or dramatic, overly dramatic, because he just screams at the TV and tells everyone to get over it. Yeah, he doesn't do reality TV, does he?

Nah, or dramas. Right. But don't you double TV if your wife's watching something, Vaughan? Won't you iPad it or something? No, we've never double TV'd. We don't watch things individually at the same time. Do you do that? Yeah.

Oh, that's a bit weird. Why is that weird? I don't know. No, because Vaughan doesn't want to watch all the reality crap. So you're watching two different things in two different rooms? No, two different things in the same room. Oh, that's weird. Is that weird?

I wouldn't do that. No, it's not because I wouldn't want to watch heaps of reality TV. I'd want to watch something. No, you watch it on your own time and then you watch something you mutually agree on. There might not be your own time though. That's the other thing. There might not be that own time. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. Jesus Christ, Vaughan. What have you done? He's unplugged his microphone. It was tangled. Why do you? You just. There we microphone. It was tangled. Why do you? You just, there we go.

It was all out of tangle. I had to sort it out. Do you know why it's tangled up? So that big cord doesn't dangle all over your desk. No, I'd rather it dangle than it had a big twist in it. All right, talking now about the things that your partner makes you watch or that you're forced to watch because your partner is into them. UFC was the big one

at the weekend. Executive intern Anya Mountie, they are forced by their respective partners to watch the UFC and I believe, Emma, you can confirm you too also

have to watch UFC. Yes, I do. Right. I am. Yeah, every Sunday it's a bit of a ritual, you know. You can't go to your mum's during the UFC's on. Sorry. Right. I am. Yeah, every Sunday it's a bit of a ritual, you know. He's like, no, we can't go to your mum's.

We're going to the GUS season. Sorry. Right. And do you pretend to like it? Do you actually like it? Or do you just? Oh, it's more of a, like, the more you watch it, I think the more you get into it and you kind of respect them.

Like, the fact that they're getting their faces bashed in a lot. Oh, yeah. It's real ouchies. It's real ouchies, isn't it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Joanna's hair didn't look very... There's a lot of cool memes going on about the moment, how she looked like a Dragon Ball Z character.

Yeah, right. Yeah. She wore it. It was scary swelling. Emma, thanks for your call. Sarah, what does your partner make you watch? It's actually the other way around. I'm making him watch Call the Midwife at the moment.

My mum loves a bit of Call the Midwife. It's got Miranda in it. Remember Miranda from the show Miranda? Yes. What's the synopsis of this? She's a midwife? In the 19... Yeah, it's like early 1950s.

Oh, okay. Yeah. But it's based on like a true story about a woman, Jennifer Worth. Yeah, okay. Is it serious, like a drama? Yeah, definitely. But it's kind of the Grey's Anatomy equivalent of a midwife show. In the 50s in Britain.

Right, okay. And does the fiancé like this now? Yeah, he's definitely come on board with it. I think initially he was a bit apprehensive, but we can't get on board with the whole two screens pitch, so it's kind of like, happy wife, happy life. Yeah, right.

You watch what I'm watching, and that's it. Yeah. Fair enough. Alright, Sarah, thanks for your call. See ya. Hello. What is your partner making? I was having a roll down the stairs there. It was just the front door. Oh, you gotta lock that. Yeah. What does your partner make see what? Having to roll down the stairs there? It was just the front door.

Oh, you've got to lock that. Yeah. So every year I'm made to watch Bathurst on October when really I should be sleeping. Don't say... No, terrible. I don't like your tone, Sia. I'm with Sia. They go round and round.

Once is enough. It's not the same every last... It is. It's so boring. It's not the same every lap. It is. It's so boring. It's not boring. I may have also been to the Gold Coast to watch a couple of them as well. Jealous. Real nice.

Jealous. Rub it in. Go to Dreamworld. Yes. God. It's wasted on Sia. I'll go with your partner next time. Hey, Sia, thanks for your call.

Some texts. Somebody said BattleBots. I'm made to watch a lot of BattleBots and then they did that emoji that's and blowing steam. I've just looked it up.

BattleBots is contestants can control their armour and technologically advanced robots through a remote control and battle other robots to win the competition.

Really? That sounds actually quite funny. So nerdy. Robots. I have to watch hunting YouTube videos, fishing videos. Oh, no. Fishing.

And old rugby matches. It's boring enough going fishing. Imagine watching fishing. No, I kind of like the fishing videos because you're like, what are they pulling up? You're like, there it is.

It's never an old boot or an old tyre. I was led to believe by the cartoons that that stuff happened a lot more. The amount of barn wood builders I've had to watch. Pretty sure we'll be making one next. Barn wood builders is an American documentary television series following a team of builders that convert historic barns and log cabins into modern houses. Oh, okay.

Sounds good. I like that. That sounds good. There's actually a YouTube compilation called The Top Five Crashes from Barnyard Builders and it's when they're trying to renovate them and they fall down. Oh, no. This old barn, he fell down on me. Someone golf.

Have to watch golf. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Again. I can never see the ball. I've tried to watch Again. I can never see the ball. I've tried to watch golf but they're like whack

and then you don't see the ball. I don't even think the camera people know where the ball is. They just put it up and shoot. Shoot in that direction wait for it to land.

And then but then the part I found confusing is they jumped around to the different players but didn't tell me who they were going to every time.

Okay. That was confusing. I guess it's maybe you meant to know if you're into it. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Somebody said motocross. I have to watch a lot of motocross.

I ask annoying questions like, whose motorbike is winning? Maybe if you keep asking annoying questions, they will uninvite you. I have to watch video games but it's not my partner playing video games

it's him watching other people playing video games. That's so weird. I've never understood that. 5am on the weekend my boyfriend wakes up due to the time difference

of when these events are happening in the States and starts watching a Dota 2 international tournament. Wow. See, I'd just be in bed still. Yeah. Well, that's how he was in bed too and watching it, but she wasn't having it.

Oh, no. Absolutely not. No, headphones, please. 721, next on the show, Vaughn was left to look after himself at the weekend and it didn't go well. ZM's Fletch Vaughn and Megan, the podcast. I had my lads weekend at the weekend. it didn't go well. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. I had my lads weekend at the weekend. Lads, lads, lads.

Lads, lads, lads, but there was ladies there as well. It's just that my ladies weren't coming, so that was the lads, lads, lads aspect. Yeah. Pretty good, pretty good weekend in Wellington. Wellington turned it on. I tell you what, you can't beat it on a good day. Was it a coincidence that you

were there for Pride weekend? Absolutely no coincidence. Right. Okay. A few people asked me that on the plane down. You've just left your wife and your girls at home

and you went to Wellington Pride weekend. It was Pride. It was Pride Parade. No, no, no, judge. I wasn't there for that. I was there for a housewarming.

All went very well. I went to bed early. What's early? I think I, so I went and I thought I'll just have a little lie down. And I think that was at about 10. You don't know. No one's doing a little lie down at 10 if they're wanting to prolong their night. Yeah, no.

You either stay up or you're out. Well, I was out. Yeah. 100%. But it would prolong their night. Yeah, no. You either stay up or you're out. Well, I was out. Yeah. 100%. But it would have been day drinking. Oh, okay. They like started it. And then we put the lamb on the barbecue at 11

and also had our first drink at 11. Right, okay. That's pretty good for me. That's pretty good, yeah. That doesn't sound like any house party I've ever been to. We put the lamb on the barbecue. At 11. At 11.

Just get Domino's pizzas delivered or something. But yeah, woke up with a hangover yesterday. It's been a while since I've had one of those. Yeah, right. It wasn't great. But no, then I missed my flight. Sorry, what? What?

What? Just missed my flight home. Hmm? Well, I missed my fly home. Hmm? Well, I checked it online. Yeah, but then when we were on the way to the airport, granted, we cut it a bit fine, as it turns out. There was really bad traffic. And when I arrived, bag dropped shut at 11.15

and I tried to do it on the machine at 11.17. Well, you don't drop a bag. Why don't you just carry it on? It was too big. He's going to give you a lecture about even taking a bag. Remember before you left, he's like, why are you checking in a bag? Just take carry on. Yeah, I should have, but I didn't.

But that's all right. You were going away for one night, two nights. Two nights. You don't need a check bag. I was taking down a housewarming gift. Yeah, but check that on the way down, not the way back. Or just carry it on. Right.

Well, it was too big. It was too big to, I said, oh, can I carry this on? She looked at me like, that's the dumbest thing I've been asked today. I was like, hey, you've got to try these things. Right. So, yeah, I just had to rebook. Rebook a flight. How much did that cost you?

It was $80. Well, that's not too bad. Yeah, I know. It wasn't too bad. Because when she was like, oh, you need to pay a rebook a flight. How much did that cost you? It was 80 bucks. Well, that's not too bad. Yeah, I know. It wasn't too bad because when she was like, oh, you need to pay a rebooking fee, I was like,

that's code for a brand new ticket. I was waiting for it, but 80 bucks wasn't too bad. I didn't think. But it was 80 bucks that I would have liked to have spent on something else. So was life.

But this is a problem when you're buying yourself. You just cannot do anything. I've already had this lecture. Thanks. I already got this lecture from Sade yesterday. This is what happens when you're by yourself. You just cannot do anything. I've already had this lecture. Thanks. Why do you have... I got this lecture from Sade yesterday. This is what happens when you go away, you know,

take me or Fletch or someone who keeps you on time. I've never met anyone with less sense of urgency than you. Like, you just don't hurry for anything. The only thing I've ever in my entire life seen you hurry for something was the star, one of the Star Wars premiere movies. You were really early for that and it was weird. Well, was I? I was probably very excited.

I wanted good seats. I think that's what it was. Yeah. But otherwise in life, nothing else. I mean, I wasn't there when your baby was born, but I'm imagining you were in a rush to get to the hospital. Ish. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't know what was going on. Yeah, right. I can't remember a lot of that. Yeah. I don't know what was going on. Yeah, right. I can't remember a lot of that. Okay. Driving. Because, well, when Indy was born, it happened so early, we hadn't even done that whole practice thing,

where you've got a bag ready and you've done your practice drive and you see where you go. Driving in, I was on the phone, be like, hello, where do we go? With a baby. Yeah. I think a baby's coming. Yeah, that was urgent. Yeah, right.

But no, she was early. But no, I'm not an early type. So, oopsie. Oopsie days. Next time, I'll leave with a bit more time up my sleeve. Yeah, it's like most people do. You can take one of us. Fletchfawn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. It's time for Megan's new feature. I do have like a little thing for you to play. Do you want to play that first or do you want me to tell you about it first? No, play the little thing first. Okay, all right. Bluff or Stuff. Oh, okay.

And we can all play this game? Yeah. Bluff or Stuff. All three of us are involved in this game. Okay. So I have a prize of a Fitbit Versa to give away. Oh, okay. Which is better than both of your features. Not top or Fitbit Versa to give away. Oh, okay. Which is better than both your features.

Not top or bottom. Versa. Versa. So how you play this game is we do need one person on the phone. Right. One of us is going to be holding the Fitbit Versa. So if you'd like to play 0800-DARLS-IT-M right now. Yes.

If you'd like to be that one person. If you'd like to play and like to win this Fitbit. So basically one of us is going to hold it. And the person on the phone gets to ask each of us one question. You must then decide correctly who is actually holding the prize. Oh, and if they guess who's holding the prize, they get the prize. But if they don't, that's the bluff. Yes.

Or stuff. Yes. Is the stuff that you have to give away. There you go. Feels like a stretch for a rhyme, but I'm down for that. Says you. In the name of rhyming. Okay.

So, yeah, basically one of us is going to hold it and they get to ask one question. Right. Abby, good morning. Morning. How are we? Good. It's Abby. It's Abby.

You're the first person to play Megan's bluff or stuff. Look, over the moon. Over the... So am I, Abby. No, she's bluffing. No. She's, over the moon. No, she's bluffing. She's not over the moon. Okay, well, so Abby, this Fitbit prize that we've got, it's in a box, and one of us is holding.

Alright. So you get to ask each of us one question. You can decide what that question is, and you can decide who you start with. Could be the same question for all three people. It could be. It could be. Yeah, it could. Yes. Okay.

Let's start. Oh, gosh. Let's see. What can I ask? Megan, how heavy is your hand? How heavy is it in my hand? Yes. It's reasonably light.

I mean, it's in a box. Um, and I could carry quite a few of them. Okay. Okay, yeah. Um, alright. That doesn't happen at all. No, we appreciate it. Okay.

Um, Fletch. Yes. What colour have you got in your hand? Oh, I'd say white. Like, just looking at it, it's predominantly white. Like, the Fitbit itself is pink. Mm, okay. All right. And, Vaughan, could you tell me the size?

The size? It's in the box, Abby. I don't know. Yeah, but, like, how big's the box? Oh, how big's the box, Abby. I don't know. Yeah, but like how big's the box? Oh, how big's the box? I thought you were talking about how big's the... The what? The Fitbit.

Oh, yeah. Well, what do you mean? Everyone knows how big a Fitbit is. It goes on your wrist. Watch size. No, but I thought you were going to look at it. Yeah, you can see the picture in the box. Oh, interesting.

That you should think I should look to your hand to see it when it's obviously in mine. The box is 8 centimetres What? By 18 centimetres

by 4 centimetres. Okay. It's got a little, I hear some additional information, it's got a little hangy thing on top. They obviously hung these in the store. In the store on one of those long metal things that came out. That's good from you. Abby, Abby, bluff or stuff,

which one of us is holding the prize? If you can correctly tell us, then you take it home. Sorry, I think Fletch, you're bluffing. Abby? Abby? Yeah? You are correct. I am bluffing.

Yeah. Oh, you got a 50-50. Oh, God. Okay. I think Bourne, you've gone a bit too far. I think you're bluffing. And, Megan, I think you've got it. Abby.

Yes. That is incorrect. Suck it. When has Bourne ever gone too much? He's always overboard. Always overboard. Yeah, wait, wait. And you were terrible, Megan.

You were like, yeah. Yeah, you didn't wait, wait. And you were terrible, Megan. You were like, yeah. Yeah, you didn't give enough detail. And you were ignoring it. He asked me how heavy it is. I'm like, oh. Compare it to something. You just sounded like you were lying. It was an average question.

I put that on Abby. Vaughn Smith, champion liar. Abby, unfortunately, you go home with nothing. Oh, thanks. It's been a pleasure. It has been a pleasure, Abby. It's been great fun playing Bluff and stuff. Now, do we come back next week with nothing. Oh, thanks. It's been a pleasure. It has been a pleasure. Great fun playing bluff and stuff. Now, do we come back next week with the same prize, Megan?

Yes. Or do we have another prize? We can do the same prize, or I've got other prizes in the prize cupboard. I could rotate. Rotational policy. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Hi, babes. Hey, guys.

Sorry. Liam's here. Let's pretend that whole two minutes never happened. Good morning. Good morning. How are we feeling after last night's episode? Um yeah actually surprisingly all right. Um I feel all right. I kind of feel bad for Aaron. Um I don't know why but I feel bad for Aaron because yeah, he thought he was doing the right thing. So you feel bad for Aaron. How do you feel about Jesse? To be honest, like the whole situation happened three months ago. So I've had a lot of time

to reflect on the situation and look, everyone thought they were doing the right thing at the right time. So like you kind of can't fault them for doing what they thought was right. Sometimes people make mistakes. So for anyone who didn't watch it, Liam, you told, correct me if I'm wrong here, you told guys in the... Guy. You told one guy in the Bachelor Mansion that you had a girl? No.

So what I had said, my exact words were, I wanted to bail out the house. So I wanted to bail about two weeks beforehand. I tried my best to get out of the house on my own accord. And then I was having this massive conversation with Jessie and I was like, look, dude, you know, I've got someone on the outside. It's like prison. Well, no, I just said that to kind of like save face if you know what I mean like when when you got a bit of an ego you're like oh don't worry man I'll be all right if you know what I mean what what does that mean um it means exactly not what it's supposed to um

because I didn't have a girlfriend I didn't have anyone waiting on the outside um I had the whole conversation with Lily where she was like giving me the third degree was because going into the show, I had a few like girls, if you know what I mean. Poor me. Yeah. Yeah. And like, look, I was completely single.

I just had a few girls like that were like, you know, seeing where I was at. And that's natural because I was 27 years old single guy um and I told one of them who I'm actually still very good friends with um that I was going to Hawaii because I'd signed an NDA stating that I was not allowed to tell anyone where I was going that's the other thing I guess, like even if you wanted to be honest with the females that you were seeing on the outside, you can't legally. So how does this, are you still talking to these girls slash girl?

One of them's one of my good friends. Like she just happens to be a good friend that like beforehand I was coming on and we were having sex. Were they a little bit sus when they were next to all my good friends? Megan, not yet, but hey, she's a hard crack. They're having sex. Were they a little bit sus when there were no... I have sex with all my good friends. All the time. Megan, not yet, but hey, she's a hard crack. Were they getting a bit sus when there were no photos

going up on Instagram from Hawaii? Yes, so that's exactly what happened. So the whole conversation comes from, because I got this message in the house going like, where are you? You've gone so quiet on social media, because I'm quite active on social media. And I just happened to show and be like, where are you? You've gone so quiet on social media because I'm quite active on social media. And I just happened to show and be like,

to Jesse, look at this man. And there was a few of people going like, where are you? If you know what I mean? That sounds a cocky bit, like it was just the truth. And I laughed about it. I was just like, dude, I've gone quiet for like 40 days. Look at the state of this. So where are you and Jesse now?

Are you still matey? Are you annoyed at him? Oh, honestly, I couldn't be annoyed at him because like it's not a realistic thing. Like it's not real. It wasn't real what was going on. So yeah, like Jesse was Jesse. Jesse's a good guy at heart.

He said something probably in the moment because the whole situation, like it makes you crazy. Like you're there vying for one girl. And like when you're there for as long as we were, you've got like cabin fever. Like all you're thinking about is that girl. So you're thinking, how can I impress a skill or how can I get one over these guys? Which is only natural, if you know what I mean.

And he didn't actually go out. So I want mean yeah um and he didn't actually go out so i want to clarify this he didn't actually go out and go liam's got a girlfriend he was asking people for advice because he didn't know what to do he goes geez that's one of my good mates he wanted to go um just yesterday but now he's done a full 360 kickflip and he wants to stay why if you know what i mean um so everything's gone off in his head and he's just gone i don't know how to deal with it sorry excuse me lily's still a massive supporter of yours because she put up a post last night saying you're a good dude i know a couple weeks ago she defended you because she didn't like the way you were being portrayed yeah yeah there's any

love lost there no no so lily is honestly one of the best human beings that I've met. She's so lovely. She's so smart, intelligent, all those things. And we still speak a lot now. We discuss like episodes. I ask her how she is. She asks me how I am and we have a bit of a good relationship and like she will post like

ugly pictures of me on her social media. She's a good woman. Yeah. Well, all the best for the future, Liam. I think you're a good dude too. But yeah, I hope that you find... Let's hope the nation does. And for all the haters online, you'll be fine.

Thanks for coming in, Liam. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Next, we want to discuss have you ever quit your job for someone? Obviously, the person is more important to you than your work, and you'll see more of a future. Have you ever done it? Well, maybe it was just like a mate being like, do you want to go to the movies?

And you were like, I'm finished. I quit. I quit my job. Because you really wanted to go to the movies? Yeah. I mean, sure. It seemed like the out you needed. If someone's done that, I'm finished. I quit. I quit my job. Because you really wanted to go to the movie? Yeah. I mean, sure. If someone's done that, yeah, sure. All thanks to Save My Bacon,

making borrowing better for financially responsible Kiwis. $80,000 is the life-changing amount of money that we have up for grabs. Soundkeeper Gary? Guys, I didn't think we'd get this far. $80,000. $80,000 we're up to now, and I think we've been doing this for about a month and a half.

I thought someone would guess it by now. Well, that's easy for you to say. You are like one of the only people in the world that knows the sound. That is correct. That's true. Am I not doing enough clues? Do you think it's easy when you hear it?

I think as soon as you hear what the sound is, you're like, of course. Of course. But that's been the secret that every time I'm like, ugh. Yeah. Like, yeah, every time I use chopsticks, I'm like, can't believe this got past me. Can't believe this got past me. Okay. All right, well, playing this morning.

Ryan, good morning. Good morning, how's it going? It's really good, mate. All right, so for $80,000, you just need to tell us what this sound is. No pressure. Yep, so I think it's him hitting the brakes on his bike and then coming to a sudden stop.

Okay, now Gary's e-bike is in the video, in the clue video, and the secret sound apparently is in that video somewhere. Yep. So you're saying when he presses the brake, it's that sound? Of the brake pads or Or the disc brake? Yeah, I mean, yeah, the brake on his bike and then the wheel locks up. Right.

So maybe I'm like skidding on stones or something. You did say that you were going to take the sound home, right? Is that what you said? That was a quote from the video? The exact quote? Yes. That I would take the sound home? Well, that makes sense.

Ryan. Yep, yep. $80,000. Is. Hey. He beat you to it. He beat you to it. That's it.

That's it. Is not yours. That's here. It's not yours. That's not the secret sound. Rough. Hey, Ryan, thanks, mate. We'd love to hear from you now if you've left your job to be with someone. Maybe there was distance involved. Maybe it was something more similar to the story I'm about to tell you

and that they work together. Okay. So a 22-year-old woman matched with someone on Tinder who turned out to be her 58-year-old boss. So they're both single, but she's 22, he's 58. Did anyone else immediately think, pay rise? No. Okay.

No. You are feeding into all, that's what she has dealt with this whole relationship. People calling her a gold digger and that kind of thing. Oh, right. Okay. what she has dealt with this whole relationship. People calling her a gold digger and that kind of thing. Oh, right, okay. So, obviously, he's her boss and she works for him. That's kind of frowned upon. So, she had to quit her job.

He quit his job so that they could be together despite the 36 years between them. So, did they have, like, a no romance rule? Because a lot of workplaces do this. Like, if this was a rule here, Executive Intern executive intern you and bun buns would have to break up he couldn't bring you his wheat bix every your wheat bix every day buns isn't her boss though yeah and also we have a no canoodling in the workplace role and he's in a completely different department yeah still same company though a lot of companies don't let it happen, I'm just saying. What, like, you're not allowed to be with your partner in...

Well, you're not allowed to have workplace romance or be with anyone at work. Orange! I know, right? Imagine their Christmas parties. They make you work all the time and then they say, and see all of these people? Not allowed, any of them.

They're saying you're not allowed, though, but also, like, like Catholic school girls aren't supposed to do a whole lot of things that they do. So, I mean, the minute you say you're not allowed to do something, there's a human desire to do it, right? Yeah. Now, this couple, she said it's no question when you date someone 36 older than you, people will really tell you what they think.

So they've been up against it. But yeah, he left his job. That's how much they're into each other. And they do look really happy together. 36 years apart. Right. But you see, you want to see if anyone's been in the situation where... They've left their job.

Okay. Because it wasn't appropriate or maybe because they weren't in the same city as you and you decided, okay, being with them is more important than my job. That's a big call, especially like if it was early on. There's been a lot of people that have moved to be with someone, but again, that's a big call, isn't it? Like leave your entire city or town and your job.

Yeah. So you roll the dice, don't you? A 22-year-old woman matched with her boss. There's 36 shares between them on Tinder. He actually quit his job to be with her. So we want to know this morning if you've quit your job to be with someone. And people have, it turns out. Lydia, good morning. Good morning.

So your partner did this? Yes. So we met on Facebook about two and a half months ago. And he's born and bred in Invercargill, lived his whole life, 27 years. And a month ago, he'd been in Christchurch two weeks now. We were together for a month and two weeks ago, he quit his job and moved to Christchurch. Wow, so that was all it took him to get out, it took him to leave Invercargill. Yes, yes.

Where on Facebook did you meet? Like on the marketplace or something? Or on a community page? He just randomly added me. Okay. Wow. And I only replied because he said, I'm sorry for the random ad.

And I said, it's okay. I like randomosity. That's so fateful. Well, good on him Wait so no friends in common or anything? No, no, not at all Where did he see you? Where did he see your profile?

I have no idea He said he'd seen my profile pop up twice And the second time he was like No, I have to add her Under the people you may know, Tess Wow, okay And he's eight years younger than me. Wow.

And so it's working together. He quit his job. Good on him. Yeah. That's awesome. And he just finished his first week work, so life is going great. Life's great. Brilliant.

Lydia, thanks for sharing. Catherine, your dad quit his job. Yes, he quit his job to be with my mum. And that turned out all right, didn't it? Yeah, because now you job to be with my mum. And that turned out all right, didn't it? Yeah, because now you're here. Turned her over to Catherine. She wouldn't be here

otherwise, would she? True. That's worked. So where did he have to move from? They moved from Channel Island. Oh, okay.

Oh, wow. And mum was going to Australia and she just asked him, do you want to come with me? And they'd only been together for seven months and so he quit his job. Wow. Seven months, brilliant.

All right, Catherine, thanks for your call. Some text messages. Somebody said that they had to leave their job two years ago after my boss who's 15 years older than me separated from his wife

to be with me. Work became hell. So I chose to leave. But it's all going well. It's all going good. Oh, that's good. My husband and I were working together

at a law firm and I had to leave so he could be made a partner. Oh, can you not be a partner and have... That's weird. I don't know.

She said I was a PA but not in the same team. I wasn't in the same team. Right. So why does that matter? I don't know. My other half left everything, his job included,

and moved countries for me. That was 16 years ago. Some days I feel like sending him back. I think he's out of warranty. Banter. I think he's out of warranty. Yeah, lots of people chucking in the jobs for love.

ZM. Hit music. Live ZM. Fleshforn and Megan. The podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. I actually need my aux cord.

Oh, okay. Ready to go. You ready? Ready, yep. Today's fact of the day is about this song. Do you know what it is? It's a wedding. No, it's not the wedding march.

Is it something royals? This is the bit where you'll notice it. Circus. Circus, correct. The entry. Like clowns coming in, right? Yeah, yeah. Synonymous with circus and clowns.

Well, this song is called Entrance of the Gladiators. Okay. And it was written in 1899 by a military bandmaster while stationed in Sarajevo. Okay. And this was actually a military bandmaster while stationed in Sarajevo. Okay. And this was actually a military march piece. This just sounds like a joke, though. I know, because that's at that speed,

but then if you listen to it slightly faster, if in another version that's a little bit faster... It sounds far more comical, right? Yeah. And it is a case of literally the faster it goes, the more comical it sounds. Right. So it was originally written because,

and it was one of the first ones, even at its slow speed, was the way that they were making trumpets and brass instruments at the time had just changed. The modern meant they could play a lot quicker. Right. Than previous incarnations of the brass instrument. So he wanted to make the most of that. So it was a little bit

pacier, but it was always used for military marches. This would be a little faster to march to. The guy before playing the slightly slower version would have been better to march. And then apparently somebody heard it and thought, if we just went a little bit quicker on that,

that would be pretty good for clowns. And now it's clown music. And now it has just become famous circus music for clowns. Wow. Not at all used in military marches anymore because it sounds way too comical. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is clown music

Was originally written, the famous clown music It was actually originally written for army marching And it's called Entrance of the Gladiators Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There is a new thing that's being rolled out with Uber. We've got Uber, normal Uber. Yep.

Uber Eats. And Uber Pet is going to be a thing from tomorrow in Auckland only because it's a trial. Yep. Uber Eats. And Uber Pet is going to be a thing from tomorrow in Auckland only because it's a trial. Right. So from tomorrow in your Uber app in Auckland

you'll be able to select Uber Pet if you want to take your pet somewhere. Right. Not including service animals because they can go anywhere already.

Yep. But there'll be a $5 surcharge and just an Uber Pet Uber will come and pick you and your dog, cat, whatever. Which is just an ordinary Uber, but they chuck a blanket down. Or not. What's going to happen? Yeah, how would you feel? Because do your dogs like shit?

Your dogs don't, do they? Nah, they're not big shitting dogs. They're not shitting dogs. But if you had a dog in the backseat and it shit everywhere, then that's a bit of time you've got to take to vacuum up. Yeah, that's the thing, I guess, is like some dogs shed and dribble and might not enjoy a car ride very much. They might jump around a wee bit. So I guess that's what the surcharge is for.

But my dog just likes to sit on your lap and then watch where he's going. He doesn't take up much room. He doesn't shed. So if you're in the front seat, your dog sits on your lap in the front seat? Yeah. Is anyone braked suddenly and he's been he's going. He doesn't take up much room. He doesn't shed. So if you're in the front seat, your dog sits on your lap in the front seat? Yeah. Is like anyone break suddenly and he's been like, doof, smashed or something?

You've always got to hold him. But then sometimes I'll be like putting my seatbelt on and be like, Leo is not, I'm not holding Leo. But then suddenly he'll break and have a wee tumble. Why are you putting on your seatbelt while you're moving? Like, no, not me. Like I'm not driving. Right. Like we'll be reversing out of the driveway and I'm putting my seatbelt on. Ah a wee tumble. Why are you putting on your seatbelt while you're moving? Like, no, not me. Like, I'm not driving. Right.

Like, we'll be reversing out of the driveway and I'm putting my seatbelt on. Ah, right, okay. Yeah. Right. But then you have to stop because there's a car coming and Leo doesn't stop. Leo's gone rogue. Break. You can get, like, harnesses and stuff for your dogs.

I guess if they moved around a lot. I guess when your dog weighs, like, I don't know how much our dog weighs. 35 kgs maybe? Yeah, 110 kgs maybe? Yeah, 110 kgs. Yeah, if you had to stop suddenly, it makes you think more

about your dog becoming a missile in the back seat. Does he like the harness? Does he sit still? Yeah. He sits in, he just likes to sit

and lean back and put a seatbelt on him and put the harness on. Alright, well, Uber Pets from tomorrow in Auckland

the end of 2019 okay it's taken a while to compile it because there's so many sources for it so many different places to get it

that's the thing like there could be a number one podcast on iTunes but then that could be different on other platforms yep and

our very own iHeartRadio has a lot of podcasts. In fact, you'll probably find all of these there as well, Vaughn. Seamless company integration and promotion. They're Synergy.

So the Golden Mics are going to be an awards ceremony in Los Angeles next year. They've been put together by the Newly Formed Podcast Academy. Is it a trophy or could I screw the Golden Mic in here? Oh, no, I don't think here Oh no I don't think it would

Wondry Stitcher NPR That's another one That's always on the Yeah On the end of it there And other Spotify people

That I don't realise So I don't want to say their name Because I get it wrong but this is the top 10 podcast purely by numbers number 10 Radiolab I don't know, I don't know what that is what do they do?

Radiolab? You google that because of the other next few I know. Number 9's Pod Save America, that's like a podcast about American politics. Oh and I've seen a couple of the guys doing media interviews. Some of them were ex-staffers of Obama. Yeah. Yeah, and it's apparently a really good podcast.

Yeah. Radio Lab is a radio program produced by a public radio station in New York. So probably similar to NPR. Right. Those kind of podcasts. Well, next up is Serial. Oh, of course, the Anand Saeed case was the one that kind of made

Serial famous. That was the first podcast I ever listened to. Six or seven years ago, that one was huge. Yeah. Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me is a newcomer. It's like a game show podcast. So there's like a game show element to it. Not like Wheel of Fortune. Oh, right. Okay.

More like a panel show, I think. Right. Number six, Stuff You Should Know. That's every episode they focus on something else and kind of tell you a little bit.

Have you listened to that one? No. Okay. I've got a mate that listens to it and raves about it. Number five is Crime Junkie. Oh, okay.

That sounds juicy. Yeah. Number four is My Favourite Murder. So there's four and five are both about True crimes Which is what a lot of people

Really like about podcasts The Daily Which is by New York Daily Times Okay Is that newsy News update is it Yeah yeah yeah It's just kind of like a

Take on all the current events Of the day And the news of the day Okay Number two is This American Life So they made Cereal

Cereal But they have another one It's a really fascinating series They just kind of Concentrate on it I listened to one Where they talked to All the staff So they made cereal. But they have another way. It's a really fascinating series. They just kind of concentrate on it. I listened to one where they talked to all the staff and some people going through a really busy roadside stop where you get petrol, but you can also get food and everything. On a labor weekend.

On like a really, really busy long weekend. They talked to the people working. They talked to the people working there. Oh, right. And so the manager was amazing because he was in constant communication with a manager of another one. They were having a competition

on who could make the most money. And then there was like a traffic jam happened. And so it was just like the chaos of how they deal with the traffic jam. It doesn't sound like it would be that interesting. It was fascinating. And then like the sorts of where people were going and why they were going somewhere.

Yeah, right. It was quite interesting. But that's what This American Life is. It just looks at different, looks at posties one episode. Right, okay. Yeah, factory workers, another one. And number one is the Joe Rogan experience. Oh, people can't get enough of that, eh?

People love a Joe Rogan. I'm not a huge fan of his. Because is he a bit of a wacky conspiracy theorist? Heading down that path a bit more than he used to. But yeah, it's not Joe Rogan of Fairfactor. Back in the day. It's a different beast. It's a different man.

Wow, so number one. How many people would have listened? Can they tell you how much or just number one? They don't have exact numbers, no. They just say number one. But it's got to be good for his... Millions and millions though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's crazy. He has lots of episodes, so that would help the numbers game as well. So there you go. You need to get a podcast about t-shirts, Megan. Yeah, that's what I need. Merge the two. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Do you want to tell everyone what you're eating?

I thought there was a big roll of the dice to take that bite Do you want to tell everyone what you're eating? Ice cream. I thought there was a big roll of the dice to take that bite so close to the end of the song. It's all right. It's 8.53. Yeah, never too early for ice cream, right? It's a Whittaker's Man at Slab chocolate ice cream bar. Yeah, they just sent a whole lot in, so it worked.

We're all going to die of coronavirus. I don't want to. We are not. I don't want to. I'm going to be stupid. Not I don't want to. We are not. I don't want to. That would be stupid. Not have ice cream for breakfast, you know? So last night at the supermarket, they decimated the stores with no toilet paper. Really?

You didn't get into a fight? No fights. It's weird because my supermarket's getting one of those renovations that they do while it remains open. Oh, God. So that's going to be like, so it's about like there's a lot of stuff. So it's already a nightmare. Yeah, it's already a nightmare. So it's hard to tell if it's coronavirus depletion or, you know.

Renovation situation. Reno and lack of restocking. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's just, it is mine. And even in America now, seeing some people waiting outside Costco for hours just to get toilet paper. I don't know why people are. And then I wanted to get toilet paper last night

because I'm nearly out. Yeah. Like, I'm not... I don't want to hoard it. I just want to buy my regular once every whatever... But that's what it is, right? Everyone's going to get a lot so they don't miss out. But they're not getting canned food and pasta and rice.

They're getting toilet paper. No, because Macca's will still be open. Will they? You don't want to go poop there. It's just bizarre. It's bizarre. Right. A couple of women

arrested as well on the weekend in Australia. Well, that was the big, I thought that was what you were kind of referring to. That big fisticuffs in Australia

in a Woolies over some toilet paper. That was crazy as well. But I hear that the tool, you know, the person that was at tool that had coronavirus, they were at the front left. Yeah. So there'll just be heaps of bargains that aren't going to work today. Probably.

Just like, oh, you know, I went to that tool concert. The boss was like Really where were you sitting Front left Yeah this guy Was doing a lot of coughing But then So you say that But then who's paying

For that two weeks off Because there's a lot of people In this situation like You can't just have a Monday off You've got to have two weeks off Yeah How can you self isolate How many times

Can you self isolate Like you have two weeks off You're like oh it wasn't coronavirus You come back to work You're like How can you self-isolate? How many times can you self-isolate? Like you have two weeks off, you're like, oh, it wasn't coronavirus. You come back to work, you're like, I was at another tool concert. Up the front leg. Well, again, if you have unlimited sick days and unlimited leave, then sure, go for that. But some people can't actually afford to do that. Oh, no, 100%.

And work can't afford to give anybody unlimited sick leave. No. Otherwise, you are just proving that your role is really not important. But then if we get forced sick leave, do you still get paid? Do people still get paid? I think it just depends on your individual employer, your contract. So it's a bit of a nightmare. Air New Zealand announcing this morning that Chief Executive Greg Foran has offered to reduce

his base pay and is taking a $250,000 pay cut. But it's alright because he earns $1.65 million. I was going to say, you just have $250,000 of buying. He said base, he doesn't include bonuses. Oh my god, imagine that as your And didn't he used to be in charge of Walmart or something?

So I'm imagining he's got a like a He's not like us, he's not like us. He's not like checking bank accounts and being like, okay, $800. That's my entire thing to take me through my pay period. That's still nice because he didn't technically have to do it. No. I mean, that's one thing. But if we want to talk about real effects, just received the call sheet for this week's Have You Been Paying Attention?

And we won't be having a grazing platter. We'll all be getting individual pita pits. Are you serious? Yeah. Wow, they're really taking this seriously. We've had to make some changes to catering in the wake of COVID-19. So sorry, Vaughan, it says in Briggis.

They know you're a punish. Is that an email to everyone? Yeah. This means we're having a kiss taco Tuesday goodbye for a little while and instead get individually wrapped meals for everybody this week is Peter Pit. Wow. Now I've got a Peter Pit order form.

Well, that's nice. But then how do you know the person at Peter Pit doesn't have COVID-19? And then we might as well have had the grazing platter. Exactly. I really look after you on TV. You get it catered. I know. We're here during breakfast time.

We get it catered, but we use the same makeup room as like the six o'clock news and they don't get anything catered. And they always walk past like Simon Dallow walks past with this puppy dog. Look on his face. I'm like, get out of there, Simon Dallow. Simon Dallow has to bring his own reheated butter chicken or something? Yep. And Wendy Petrie as well, she has to bring her own food.

She slopped her butter chicken all down herself. No, she did not. And quarter to six last week, they had to do a quick change. She's a mucky pup. Yeah, she was dipping the naan and it was all floppy. I'm Wendy Petrie, bitch! ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, I'm Wendy Petrie bitch
