They do Um Yeah Cool Sweet Well the podcast Is a It's like a radio show

But it's Condensed I'm just giving some background Maybe this is the first time You don't need to elaborate People have never ever Listened to a podcast before. Yeah.

They're really jumping into this one. Because they're familiar with the name broadcast, but they don't know where the pod parts comes from. Am I correct in assuming it was because iPods were the first things to hold podcasts? I'd say so, yeah. So it was like a broadcast on an iPod, but then it just became synonymous with the audio. Are you done with the history?

Are you done with the history? Yep, and that is a brief history of a podcast. And now, enjoy this present podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Fawn and Megan. Happy Monday. Not for the office. It smells a bit like poos out there.

There's a slightly pooey aroma in the office. Not in the studio part of the station. Do you think someone's left a banana or their lunch in the drawer maybe? It could be a food situation. Or someone's done a poo at the desk and left it over the weekend. Someone else will clean that up for them. It's not like someone's quitting you. Someone won Lotto.

Someone won Lotto. They came in, dumped on their desk and that's it. They're not coming back. Amazing. You've always said you'd do that. Hope so. Well, I didn't win Lotto so it wasn't me. One can only dream of the day one wins Lotto for the financial payout but also the dump on the desk.

Well, if you want a $20,000 payout, we've got the box coming up at 7 o'clock this morning and again at 8, all thanks to Marvel Studios'

Black Widow. I don't know if that's enough to quit your job. Probably not enough for a poo on the desk. I reckon crop dust your boss, though. You feel good about that.

All right, you've just got to give us a four-digit pin. We know that there's a seven in there and that the four-digit pin spells a four-letter word. So your next shot coming up at seven. The top six on the way.

Yeah, there's going to be a rebate for electric cars. That means that you buy an electric car, the government will refund you some of that purchase cost, depending on if it's new, if it's used, if it's fully electric, if it's like a plug-in hybrid. And apparently they're going to make it expensive if you want to buy an ute, a ute. Yeah. A couple of grand more for getting a petrol-guzzling ute.

Is it a diesel ute? Oh, something I didn't read the story. A thirsty ute. I just read the headline, and I was like, oh, that's outrageous. Yeah. Because, you know, me, I love utes. You love a ute. I love utes. You love a ute. I love utes.

You could get an electric ute. I'd look pretty sexy in a Ford Ranger, I reckon. Would you? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if you could handle that. There's a lot to put on a Ford Ranger. I haven't had a car forever.

A Ford Ranger must be working real hard. Forever. Like, what car would I suit? It would be weird to not have a car for so long and then when you finally do get a car again you get a Ford Ranger.

You've gone from nothing to a monster. A VW Golf kind of guy. That's too small Megan. That's a horrible thing to say to a friend. That's a friendship ender.

You look like a polo. A Polo. No. I'd want something a bit bigger. Right. For, you know, all the things that I put in it. Yeah. Oh, well, you know, that's the thing about the new Volkswagen Polo.

Right. A misleading amount of boot space. Okay. All right. Well, the top six dealing with the electric vehicle announcement. Yeah. But next on the show, the top kinks for men and women. This study was done,

I remember we talked about this like last year. It's changed. Yeah, do you think the pandemic has changed that? The fantasies. Oh, maybe, yeah. Or maybe a lot of people are in new relationships because of the pandemic, or maybe they've found out stuff about the relationship they were in. What do you think about this

list? It's different, isn't it? I need an explanation into one of them. Fletch called it a list for wimps. No way. He did. He said, this is some vanilla shit. That's what he said. And I said, sir, please, please,

get back in your Ford Ranger and get out of here. You know us Ford Ranger drivers. We're demons in the sack. Get a Ford Ranger out. And get out of here. You know us Ford Ranger drivers. Absolutely. We're demons in the sack. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. There is a list of the top kinks, sexual kinks for men and women.

We talked about this about a year ago. So it's last year's list. And it has changed. Well, I guess they do the study every year, do they? I didn't expect it to change so dramatically. Well, they've been locked inside all year, Megan. Yeah, I mean, everyone's tried new things, maybe. And it does vary, as it did last time,

it does vary between men and women. Whose would you like first? I'll give you the top five sexual kinks for... I reckon go for women because it's an introduction. Okay. Because men are more deviant? Yep. Okay.

Number five. This is the top five female sexual kinks. Dressing up in sexy costumes is number five for women. Okay. No clarification if that's their partner dresses up in sexy costumes, they dress up in sexy costumes.

Both of them are in sexy costumes. But sexy costumes are involved. Like a sexy nurse. Yeah, it doesn't specify what favourite costume. Yeah. Because sexy nurse would be your number one, eh? A $2 French made outfit from Look Sharp. Oh, yep. Made of highly flammable materials. Yeah, I'm thinking a $2 French made outfit from Look Sharp. Oh, yep.

Made of highly flammable materials. Yeah, okay. Number four is role play. Well, that goes hand in hand with the dressing up, surely. The sexy costumes. Number three. But also could be non-costumed role play. Yeah, well, you could be a sexy nurse and you're like,

I'm going to go on strike. Yeah, what? Well, I want more pay. Right. So now explain to me the role that you've just created. Well, then your partner's like, I'll give you 15%. Oh, right. Is your partner the government?

Wait, so you're not only a nurse, you're a union representative. I'm a union nurse. In negotiations with the DHBs. Yeah, yeah. And then your partner's a DHB and they're like, actually, I'm 15%., you're a union representative. I'm a union nurse. In negotiations with the DHBs. Yeah, yeah. And then your partner's a DHB and they're like, actually, I'm 15%. And you're like, nope. And you keep going until you get like 25%.

I'm poor. I'm rock hard. I'm going to get an ended divorce. This is, I'm harder than the negotiations you're about to enter. This is erotic. Erotic stuff. See, I told you, it's sexy stuff. Yep.

I doubted you. I should never. The top three sexual kinks for women. Number three is body piercings. These don't explain. Enough. Yeah. Is that giving someone a body piercing?

Because that's nothing sexy about that. No, I think it's just like body piercing. You're into. Yeah, weird. Okay. Getting one of those barbell ones and then getting a nine volt battery and putting it on.

Jesus. And that goes through the nip. Number two for women is blindfolds. Okay. And number one is That's if your partner's ugly. So it's easier for you

to imagine you're having sex with someone else. That would mean you would be, right? You want to be blindfolded. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. You're blindfolded and then you can imagine

that you're with somebody else. Actually, maybe you could blindfold the DHB if you're a sexy nurse. Like take them hostage. Yeah. And then get those negotiations ramped up. Yeah. Okay.

So number one, the number one sexual kink for women is sex outdoors. Okay. Probably because everybody's been stuck inside so much. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, cool. So the top five for men differ quite a bit, actually. Okay.

Number five is, I thought it would be higher, threesomes. Okay. I like that that's not even on the women's list. They're like, no, Gareth, that's not happening. It wasn't even in their top ten. It wasn't even in their top ten. Just stop it, men. Stop it.

You're not getting a threesome. Yeah, keep on dreaming, Gareth. Not to become to some sort of negotiation agreement on nurse pay. Number four is sex outdoors. So you'll remember that was number one for females. Yep. Number three is bondage. Okay.

This is the third favourite kink for me. Again, that's not like saying who's smacking who. Well, I guess it would vary on the guy. Who's whipping who. Whether they want to... Be smacked or do the smacking. Yeah, okay. Number two is role play, specifically with uniforms. That's that nurse.

There you go. I tell you, the nurse negotiations, it's the number one. And the DHV. They gave them the pay rise, but now they're running a stricter ship. They're going to check up on them more often. So the number one sexual kink for men is DIY porn. Like, Tristan, as a builder. Like a stand from I to 10.

If you're going to build a deck, you've got to have your joists 600 apart. Oh, yuck. Do they mean like just making your own? Right, okay. That is at the absolute bottom of my list. Yeah, because who wants to see me doing that? No. I don't want to see myself doing that.

You have to be so confident in your body to want to watch that back. Yeah. No, thank you. Nah. Nah. Let's go back to the nurse negotiations. Yeah, now we're talking. We all agree that was pretty sexy.

ZM's Fletch Warner-Megan, the podcast. Another TV show. Bad news. This is bad news. A TV show has been paused mid-filming in America. I hadn't heard of this TV show. I think it's a new one. It's called Ultimate Slip and Slide.

Oh, it sounds awesome. I know it does. It's tied to slides. And I don't know. Is it like, holy moly, that mini-golf? Yeah. Mini-golf meets white power. Yeah, I think it's something like that.

It has those kind of elements to it. But it has been paused mid-filming, mid-season, because of a violent outbreak on set. 40 members, 40 crew. No. They fell violently ill on set because somebody got giardia. And, you know, water. From the water.

Because if you've ever been to the pool, the swimming pool, they're like, if you've ever had diarrhea, you shouldn't swim for two weeks. Right. That's like a thing. Does the chlorine not take care of it? Well. I mean, that makes it sound like I'm a big fan of going to a public pool when I've got diarrhea. I wouldn't.

You'd hope so. But I guess there is a chance that you could get it in the water. But 40 crew members fell violently ill on set. People were collapsing. People were being forced to run to porta-potties, experiencing awful explosive diarrhea. Oh, my gosh. Now, it's a microscopic parasite which is found on surfaces or in soil, food or water that's been contaminated with faeces from infected people or animals.

So you always, it's quite a, it's quite, because I got this travelling, it's bad if like in countries that don't have like, you know, great food hygiene standards like restaurants and stuff. Yeah. Where you're getting it from street food vendors. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The water's contaminated and yeah. What does it do to you?

Just clears you out. You lose like three kgs. That's what it does to you. Oh, God. So what's the bad part? Well, the antibiotics that you take then like absolutely destroy your guts. Oh. So I mean it's not really worth it, is it?

It's horrible. It's not the best diet. It is absolutely horrible. But again, you do lose it's not really worth it, is it? It's horrible. It is absolutely horrible. But again, you do lose 3kg, so you're right. There's no pain, no gain. There's a slight positive after it. Nothing tastes as good as beauty feels. What was the skinny feels? That was Kate Moss's whack-ass approach to eating right.

Yeah. 621. Next on the show, someone, a runner, has had a mishap for 3,000 metres. It was a not noticed. I don't know how he didn't notice.

Flesh Fauna Megan, the podcast. ZM. An athlete has, her name's Paige, she said she has faced in her time as an athlete, a lot of judgment about what she's wearing. Yep. During, you know, her partaking. And she said people are always commenting on the shortness of the bottom parts

or the briefness of the top parts of the uniform clothing that she chooses to wear. She said that's just how sports clothing has evolved and it is helpful not to have a full body like top to bottom. Remember, was it the 2000 Olympics where Cathy Freeman ran in that bodysuit? Do you remember that? Oh, yeah. And she had her hair, she just, she looked like she was in a full-blown diving suit.

That's right. So the only thing that was out was her face, her hands, and her feet. That's right. And her feet had shoes on. But was that for aerodynamics? Aerodynamics.

Okay. Aerodynamics. But that didn't catch on, did it? Not everybody does that. No. No. Well, Paige said, I just watched a dude

run with his bull sack hanging out for 3,000 metres. I don't want anyone complaining about my cleavage anymore. And then cites the steeplechase in question. So it was one of those races where the dudes have got to jump things and then they get in like

puddles afterwards. That's the horses going there. Like that. Oh, okay. The steeplechase, yeah. I didn't know that the runners had puddles too. I thought they just had those. Yeah. Do they have puddles? They have little cute hedges. They don't, right?

And steeplechase, they do. Yeah, yeah. They see little hedges. Yeah, and if they break their leg, they get shot in the middle of them. They just pop a tent up over them and put them out of their misery. But a guy called Garrett, when he was running, his shorts worked their way up. And like if your dad was a short shorts wearer like mine, this is how dad did wheeze down the farm.

He'd just like pull it out one leg. He's wearing undies though. Like do you? No, well, he might've been wearing a supportive, like the running shorts might've had a mesh in them, but they've slipped out the side of the mesh. Is the mesh enough? Like when you're running to support?

I think the mesh, like when you wear togs, like boardies, and they've got a mesh in them, oh, they're great. Oh, they're great. They're grating. That's not a running mesh. A running mesh is a finer mesh. Even still. It's more like a stocking.

You've got to respect your downstairs with the fabric. Yeah. Because, yeah, your boobies need support. I imagine those are the same, you know. Must have had some real low hangers to work their way out of. Well, it was kind of like the short worked its way up. They met halfway. It might have been a slightly lower hanger than usual,

but the short also worked its way up. But you know. You want to be careful because how much is he clearing those hurdle things by? Well, yeah, because their legs are all over. I guess that's the thing. Your legs kind of go out to the side when you jump over the hurdles. Yeah, you go up and work this way out.

So maybe that's why you kind of work the ball out to the side. Have you seen the, you know, Grease, the movie Grease? And then there was Grease 2, the sequel. Never heard of it. So there was a sequel. Are you familiar with Grease 2? Yes. So there's this footage that's recently surfaced.

Somebody like 40 years after Grease 2 came out, there's a penis in the back, in Grease 2. If you Google Grease 2. Penis. Penis. Penis out. Megan was very quick to Google this. Someone recently discovered, yeah,

there's a scene where they're like running and it's track and field as well. And the guy's got his. Well, he got whole whole bit out there Wow Yeah okay His bit hanging out in the background

That was like a couple of weeks ago Well they didn't have CGI then did they? They couldn't blur it They couldn't blur that in post It's greased lightning

Alright well when Megan finishes googling that Someone's done a zoom in I'll get back to that ZM's Fletch Warner Megan The Podcast

Two out of five adults are turning to bad food when they're in a bad mood. So like 40%? 43%. More than 40%. There's definitely some percent lying too. 100%. Yeah. So yeah, 43% will eat something just to feel better.

And judging by the last year and everybody being in lockdown and all the weight that's been put on, I'd say it's a lot more than 40%. Because what do you think the second and third thing, so this is asking people what they do to make themselves feel better if they're in a bad mood. Exercise is second, but that's

only 32% say they'll go out and stretch and exercise. Right. And then after that is 29% will go outside for some fresh air. No, not that one. That wasn't included in there. Maybe it's up there. Right. Was it not an option?

I don't believe so. Yeah, I think they're quite professional. They're not going to ask people if they're playing with themselves in a suit. But that's, come on. If you're in a bad mood, how do you turn it around for yourself? The exercise thing is a catch-22 because you've got to have energy to exercise. It'll give you energy, but you've got to have some energy in the first place. You've got to have the motivation. And that's like the catch-22.

And knowing you will feel better afterwards is not enough. No, yeah. I know I feel better if I do it. And let's be honest, it's easier to go to the dairy or the supermarket and grab some food rather than go all the way to the gym. Yeah. And how many times- Your gym's closer to your house than the supermarket, though.

No, I've got a dairy right under there. I have a dairy right under there. You're skipping that gun to the dairy. I literally live on top of a dairy. Yeah. Like, that's how bad it is. It's also catch-22 because if you're having a bad day, you're like, well, I'm going to have some treats. And then if you're having a good day, you're like, well, I'm going to have some treats.

And then if you're having a good day, like something good's happened, you'll treat yourself in celebration. Yeah, life, eh? It's tough. It just is no win. It's not like anyone's going, I'm going to go celebrate at the gym. Eh? Yeah.

No one's idea of celebration is going to the gym, right? No. Even F45 people, they're lying to themselves. Like, they're up. Like, they might be on the way home from a class already. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, see, should I have just got them smashed

a box of Coco Pops instead? Maybe I should have. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast. ZM. From the self-driving ZM think Tank, this is the Top 6. Hello there. The Top 6 today deals with the top six ways to make your vehicle seem electric because there's going to be a rebate system in place for electrical vehicle purchases.

They can't be over $80,000. They have to be a battery electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, which is like half and half, right? Yeah. Or it charges itself. Not as much of a rebate for those ones. So you buy it? Is this like when you buy, have you ever bought something and they're like, $50, you get your

cash back and you've got to send away a bloody receipt and a thing and you're just like, oh, I can't be bothered with this admin. How do you even get stamps? On a new electric vehicle, the rebate's going to be $8,625. But does that mean if you buy it from a car yard, it's $8,000 less? Or do you have to apply in the government?

No, no, no, this is how it works. You buy it, a new or used import, new registration, three-star safety rating or more, and less than $80,000, including GST and on-road charges. Then you apply online. A registered person who the person of the car is registered to applies online at... What?

No, it's just already admin. Oh, yeah, there's admin. But I'd do this for $8,000. At Waka Kotahi, for a rebate, you've got to provide the sale agreement, plate number, and bank account that you want the money to get put into, and then they transfer the rebate to the registered person's bank account. Is that a standard amount? So if you spent $40,000 on a car, you get that amount.

If you spend $70,000 on a car, you get that amount. Or does it vary? I don't know, but they say $8,625 for a new electric vehicle, $5,500 for a new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, a used electric vehicle is $3,400 and a used plug-in hybrid $2,300. Oh, that's all good. You can get a used one. So more than a $50 rebate if you send away for your warranty something or the other.

Yeah, well, that's good. Yeah, so I've got the top six ways to make your vehicle seem electric. Okay. This sounds fraudulent, Mum. Well, if you can get away with it, is it fraud? Yes. But you got away with it. So, you know, you're only

guilty if you get caught. Just imagine you're standing in court. Is it fraud? Yeah, is it fraud? I'll ask you ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Mr. Smith, this is in a jury trial. I will address the jury. Is it fraud? So the top six ways to make your new vehicle seem electric for that sweet, sweet rebate.

Number six, hang an electric, an extension cord out the boot. Yeah, nice. Just slam it in the boot with the little dangly bit. Just not dragging on the ground. That could be problematic, but just out the back to make it look like you can... Or even, you know one of those camper van or caravan plugs? Because they're more like, they're more booty. Yeah, booty.

They're like socket things. Yes. Yeah. One of those. One of them bad boys. Number five on the list of the top six ways to make your new vehicle seem electric. Chuck a couple of solar panels on the roof. You can get a solar panel kit pretty cheap from like J-Car

and then you just need to drill holes through the roof of your car and then line up the bolts, maybe mark those, drill them, pop them through, screw from the other side, hold that on nice and tight. Bit of seal. Run a wire through the window. I'd put a whack of a bit of silicon. Can't go wrong with a bit of silicon. That'll stop the leaking.

And then you've got solar panels. This seemed like a lot of effort, Vaughan, for $8,000. You can probably spend more on the solar panels. Nah, you'd get a good cheap kit lower than that. Because you can't have them too big either because you're going to put them on the roof of your car. Okay. Number five on the list of the,

no, four, sorry, on the top six ways to make your vehicle seem electric for that sweet, sweet rebate. Keep all your old AA batteries and AAA batteries and glue them to the outside of your car and then just put like wires and stuff on them. Yeah. And it'll make it look like it's electric because of the batteries.

Yeah, sure. Okay. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six ways to keep your vehicle looking electric for that sweet, sweet rebate, tape up the front grill so there's no gaps. That's how I can always tell a car's an EV. When you see it from front on, you're like,

oh, it's got a fully encased grill. Yeah, right. It must be an electric vehicle. It doesn't need the air intake. It doesn't need the air. It doesn't need the air cooling assistance on the radiator. I mean, there might be problems with the radiator, not getting a flow of air around it, but rebate, you know?

Yeah, rebate. Rebate. Think about the rebate. Number two on the list of the top six ways to make your vehicle seem electric for the sweet, sweet rebate, put a wind turbine on the roof. Like the solar panels, but now it's a wind turbine.

I can't see you fitting in the car park, though, with that on the roof. Oh, just open-air ones. Yeah, okay. And you can't go through drive-thrus anymore. No. But a lot of the time, if you think about it,

it's quicker to go into the restaurant than it is to go through the drive-thru anyway. Yeah. You like people just too lazy to get out of their car that are rather sitting in a long line. Yeah. Not you, mate. You've got a... We've got anyway. Yeah. You like people just too lazy to get out of their car that are rather sitting in the long line. Yeah. Not you, mate.

You've got a winter turbine on your roof. And number one on the list of the top six ways to make your vehicle seem electric, a flux capacitor. Like Back to the Future. Like in Back to the Future and have a big coat hanger hanging off the top so you can hit the power line

at exactly the time that the town clock gets struck by lightning and it'll provide 21.1 gigawatts of power. Yeah, something like that. Back to 1985 or something. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Oh, what's in the box? Right now, the box is in studio.

Behind you, Megan Bourne, you're next to the keypad. You've got box mic. I've got box mic. Box mic there. We know. Box mic. No, is that one on? Yeah, I could hear you.

Box mic. This is a little lapel one right beside the keypad. You're a bit loud for it. Yeah, you're quite close. Okay. I'm going to go on this one. Okay, don't lean over and get that close to the box. It's a bit weird. We know that there's $20,000 in the box.

We're just going to get in there. We know that there's a seven in there somewhere as well. And we know that the four-digit code actually spells a four-letter word. Good morning, Simone. How are you? I'm good. How are you? Good, good.

All right, so you've just had a few minutes here on hold to think how would you spend $20,000 because you've got the chance. Well, it's my birthday next week and it's yours. It is? Yeah. A big, yeah big birthday celebration probably. A couple of cancers in the house.

That's right, and cancers would love to spend $20,000 on a birthday party. Oh, and a present for myself. It's going to be more than $20,000 on yourself. Yeah, to be more about me, cancer's very selfish, aren't they? A nice present, maybe, like a nice handbag. Oh, okay. Yeah, a couple of nice handbags. All right, good.

You could probably buy all of the strand bags for $20,000. Is that where people buy handbags? Yeah, not a great... I don't know how often strand bags have been going lately because they did a roaring suitcase trade. Yes, they did, yeah. And people haven't been travelling as much internationally.

All right, well, Simone, we need from you a four-digit code. Okay, my code is 8275. Now, what does that spell? Task. Now, is that because Taskmaster is the sort of the villain in the Black Widow movie? I'm very much looking forward to seeing Taskmaster on the big screen. He's been a great player in Spider-Man games over the years.

Right. That's just a little something for the Marvel people out there. So, you're 8272-7-5. Yes, please. Oh, I know. I've made a mistake. That was not user error. It beeped before I even touched it.

So now I don't know what to do. Time expired. Time expired. That's great. You stop. That's what you do. You stop and you wait. 8-2-7-5.

Here we go. No. No. No. Ooh, tough break. Perhaps at 8am I can land a hand. Oh, okay. Clue from the box, maybe,

at 8 o'clock. Is that what we're thinking? Simone, we don't have $20,000 for you, but we do have a double pass to Marvel Studios Black Widow it's in cinemas July 8th and streaming on Disney Plus

with premiere access July 9th conditions apply congrats Simone and happy birthday for next week thank you I guess you've got to

buy your own handbag now too she was a A big deal In the 90s Um Am I wrong In saying that?

Hasn't been a lot of Alicia Silverstone action In the 2000s? I've just loaded up her TikTok I haven't had time to go to Her IMDB But uh I know she's done something

But not like The 90s was like. But in the 90s, her name was everywhere. She was huge. Yeah. She'd be one of the biggest actors of like the late 90s,

early 2000s. Clueless, yeah, totally. Yeah. Okay, she's actually done heaps in the 2000s. She's actually done quite a lot. She's in a TV show at the moment, isn't she, that's quite big.

It's The Mom, which freaks me out. She was Batgirl in 1997's Batman and Robin. She is going to be the voice of Queen Marlena in the Masters of the Universe reboot. The He-Man in the Masters of the Universe.

Netflix. Right, but she's been very busy. Just hasn't been a big deal. Yeah, not huge. But she has come out and replied to this tiktok here tell me what your name is and then tell me what people mispronounce it as my name is alicia alicia not alicia alicia wow okay yeah because we i always call her alicia silverstone everybody

has called her Alicia. Yeah. Because we base it all on what we see from America, right? Like the news interviews, the celebrity gossip, and they all say Alicia, right? I knew someone who spelt it the same way as her, who would correct every single person who called them Alicia. I'll stop you. It's Alicia.

That doesn't fly. It would be annoying, though, if you know that it's Alicia and everyone's like, Alicia them Alicia. I'll stop you. It's Alicia. That doesn't fly. It would be annoying though if you know that it's Alicia and everyone's like, Alicia, Alicia. That's why you don't name your kids something that can be mispronounced like that. Yeah.

Because you're just giving them a lifetime of correcting people. And then they become the person who is like, oh yeah, get their name right. God, it's a real punish. They'll correct you. And you're like, well, that's kind right, God, it's a real punish, they'll correct you. You're like, well, that's kind of the deal, isn't it? How it's said, yeah. She's come out and she's

confirmed it probably 20 years too late, but has she come out and absolutely said once and for all. When you said she's explained this on TikTok, I was like, why does she have a TikTok? She's got a TikTok. She's got a TikTok. Good on her. She's got a TikTok. Because how old is she now? 44. 44?

Yeah, she'll be 45 at the end of the year. Wow. And we've been saying it wrong this entire time. Should have said something, Alicia. Alicia. Alicia. Don't hold your tongue, Alicia. But then it's made us think it's time for the old classic,

the old what's your name and how do people say it? Oh, yeah. Like if you have to constantly deal with this Vorgan Vag hand Shard Shard Or if I say her name's Sharday

and people don't say, oh yeah, how do I spell this? My wife I'm talking about, if you're new to the show Sharday gets spelt all manner of ways. Sometimes it gets just about S-A-D-E, like the 80s singer of... Yeah, right. ...Media Romantic Tune, Sade, or S-H-A-R-D-A-Y. Like a shorthand Chardonnay.

Chardonnay. A lot of Chardonnays. Right. So, yeah, on the back of this, we've been saying Alicia Silverstone's name wrong this whole time. You just said it wrong. Alicia. Well, I was making it as an example. We want to know this morning, how do people say your name wrong?

And how bad does it get? 0800 dials at M. Give us a call. You can text in as well. Right now, though, we are talking about people that mispronounce your names. And if you have to deal with this all the time, celebrity Alicia Silverstone, that's how you say her name, it turns out. Not Alicia. We've all been saying Alicia this whole time.

And it's taken TikTok now to teach us. Yeah. Great. Yeah. Although, well, you wouldn't care, though, would you? If you're a celebrity, at least people saying your name. Yeah, say it however you want. Your movie star.

No, it probably gets to a point where it gets pretty annoying. Where you're like, I should people Say your name Yeah say it However you want Your movie star Nah it probably gets To a point where It gets pretty annoying Where you're like I should have been I should have made This a bigger thing Yeah

From the get go With a person With a name That's impossible To mispronounce Yeah I don't understand Some text messages in

My daughter's name Is Paige But it's Paige With a J Instead of a G Okay And so many people Had G Try to correct her when she spells her name. Say, oh no, it's a G, sweetheart.

It's my name, I think. It's mine, yeah. Yeah, and then Paige. I'd say Paige on that one. Yeah. Because I don't think I've ever seen it spelt with a J either. Okay, this is either going to be Sarah or Sarah. It's Sarah.

Sarah, okay, right. But how do you spell it? S-A-R-A. Then I'd call you Sarah. I had a friend who spelled it like that, and it was also Sarah. But yeah, pet peeve. Everyone called her Sarah.

I just sometimes, honestly, when people call me Sarah, I'll just say, yeah. Yeah. Have you brought this up with your parents ever? Are you like, thanks for this lifetime of me correcting people? Yes, yes. And they reckon that without the H is the correct way. But I'll have full-blown arguments with people.

Like, I'll ring up and they'll be like, what's your name? And I'll be like, oh, it's Sarah. Yeah. Without an H. And they'll be like, oh, but that's Sarah. And I'm like, no, no, it's Sarah. And they're like, no, but that's Sarah. I've spoken to the people who named me. It that's Sarah. And I'm like, no, no, it's Sarah. And they're like, no, but that's Sarah. I've spoken to the people who named me.

It's definitely Sarah. I'm like, oh, I know my name. The spelling I've ever seen of Sarah was S-E-R-A-H. Oh, really? Because when you say Sarah, you're asking two A's who only are separated by an R to complete different functions. That's true. Sarah.

That A blows people's true. Sarah. That H blows people's minds. Sarah. Yeah. Actually, even with an H on the end, it still should be Sarah. Yeah, well, that's what I say. Sarah. It's more Sarah because it's almost got an H-ish down. Yeah.

All right, well, Sarah without an H. Enjoy your day. Thank you for sharing. Karma or camera. It's Karma, but it's been spelt with K-A-M-A, so I get called Kama all the time. Kama, yeah, you would, wouldn't you? Because there's no R.

That's the same thing. Those two A's are performing different functions. Karma. So what's the origins of that name? It means love or something in the baby book. Okay. Right. Okay. Oh, cute. Right.

Yeah. But it's spelt with no R in the baby book? No R, no. Just K-A-M-A. Right. So how often do you think you would have this conversation with people? Also, like, even the spelling of it. Okay.

Yeah, right. And I'm like, no, take that R out. It looks horrible. So I've actually got used to K-A-M- it. Okay. Yeah, right. But I'm like, no, take that R out. It looks horrible. So I've actually got used to K-A-M-A. Wow. Okay. Karma, thank you.

I love how people are arguing with these people about their own names. Yeah, this is like a... But this is also a good lesson for parents. Yeah, this is...

Because you might think you're giving your kid like an alternative name no one else has got, but you're just burdening with them having to explain it to every single person. But then is that also a way to

initiate a conversation with people? Like, is it an icebreaker? Maybe once or twice, but not every day. If it's your only icebreaker. Either I'm going to say Brittany or Brittany. No, wait! That all depends entirely on how it's spelt. These are two different names.

Yeah, but people still stuff it up. Wait, so are you a T-T-A-N-Y or a T-N-E-Y? A-N-Y. Oh, it's Brittany then. Brittany. Is that right? Brittany. Okay, I think you've really missed a chance there, Brittany,

to say it's Brittany, bitch. Oh, I've done that phone call before with a date with my sister. I was really hoping you'd do that, but fair enough. Hey, thanks for your call. Some text messages. My sister-in-law's name is Zephaniah and everyone just calls her Stephanie.

Just because they look at it and they're like, that's a hard name. I'm just going to go Zeph. Or just go Zeph. Zeph, Zeph. My name's Maren and I'll get called Miriam, Mary, Marvin, and autocorrects to Merton, but not Merrin.

Merrin's not in there. I've heard people like, no, don't know that. Making my own words. I'm going to look at it. I'm going to make an assessment. What? I'm not right. I'm afraid I am. I'm Ali and I've been called Eli lots of times. E-L-L-I-E. No, that's Ali. But people still say Eli.

No. That's stupid. Yeah. It's very straightforward. Yeah, that's not a hard one. My partner's last name is Coburn. Oh, yep. It's not spelt Coburn. Yeah. We've got Al at work here who's a Coburn. He's a Coburn, yeah. Yeah. And I've never known a single person who sat right the first time apart from other Coburns. Yeah. Or people that have worked with a Coburn.

Yeah. My name is Melissa, but it's spelt M-I-L-L-I-C-A. And I get called Malika all the time. To be honest, that looks more like Malika. Malika? Yeah, it looks more like Malika than it does Melissa.

That's all the parents for putting that rogue C in there. Yeah. My daughter's name is Shania and doctors and nurses are the worst at calling her Shania and doctors and nurses are the worst at calling her Shania.

If you're a medical professional, you can't call a patient Shania. Can you imagine the amount of nurses which you see name after name? The whole day is filled with names. Like teachers, they get a lot of names, but it's the same names every day, right? It's the same 30 kids. Yeah. Once you learn it, you learn it. But nurses would see the same name written down that's got eight different ways of saying it.

Yeah. I just got to take a shot in the dark and then give you a shot in the arm. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I stayed at Fletch's place on Thursday night. We had radio awards and I was like, well, I could Uber home, but then I have to Uber back. I was just like, hey, Fletch, can I stay at your place? And he was like, absolutely.

Well, that's what the spare room's for, isn't it? Yeah. Sleepovers. Yeah. So then imagine my surprise. Friday afternoon. I think I laughed for at least 10 minutes Like cry laughing when Vaughn sent me this This is

Mind blowing That my phone was like He last night slept At not his usual Residence And there's not a hotel I got sponsored content From Ending HIV New Zealand. And it says,

are you married and playing with guys at the gym? And the caption says, married to a woman but enjoy a tug in the showers at the gym. What is my realistic risk of HIV and STIs? I mean, a serious message. And 100%. And we're not laughing at that at all. No, God, no.

Not at all. Not at all. Not at all. One night away from home. But it knows that you're married to a woman. And it knows I sleep every night. And like we go away with work, but we only ever stay at hotels. So it can probably be like, yeah, geographically he's at a hotel.

So this might be a work trip. But given that I stayed at Fletcher's place where there's no hotels on your block, really, there is like accommodation, but not like right there. But Google advertising or Instagram advertising now thinks that you've crossed a line with a work colleague. So I went to an event and then a bar and then

a residence that wasn't mine. But how does it know it's not a female? Well, it doesn't. It doesn't. But then it might have known that. But it knows that your Instagram is a male account. Yeah. And it may be because my phone was next to Fletcher's phone.

So it's like, there's another dude. But then that's crazy. Isn't that nuts? Like, that's how much your phone and targeted advertising. Your phone thinks you're having an affair. Yeah. Also, what does your phone think goes on at my house? I do

not. I wouldn't have the foggiest. Why not? My phone talked to your phone on Bluetooth and my phone was just like, what happened? What have you seen? Are you okay? And your phone's like, eh. Your phone needs

counselling. Yeah, my phone's like, ah. Your phone needs counselling. Yeah, my phone's like, I've got to tell somebody. Who are you going to tell? Google Analytics. Do you think your wife's phone's getting advertising for divorce lawyers? Oh, my God, divorce lawyers. Do you know where your husband is at all times? Yeah. The private investigator was your husband last night.

Oh, my God. That's so good. Wow, yeah. But also, I go to the gym a fair bit, and I've never had a, what is a tug and a lick in the showers? Licking what? The showers are no place for licking anything. Those are public showers.

Sometimes you have to tug the curtain closed. Yeah, right. Maybe that's what it means. I'm going to have a tug and curtain closed, but I don't know. Maybe that's what it means. I'm a marital arrangement. Yeah. Stop. My goodness me. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Joined in studio by special guest, Electra Shock. Spoiler alert, the eliminated queen from RuPaul's Drag Race. Down under, good morning. Good morning, everyone. How are we doing? Good. I'm just looking at your drag family tree. My drag family tree.

Pretty nice more than I do. Vaughn's learning about this. I didn't know that this was a thing. It's like Ancestry.com. We have like drag houses and like drag mums. So your drag, if I'm reading this family tree right, your drag mum is Trinity Ice? Correct. Trinity Ice? Correct.

Trinity Ice, the legend herself. But then does that make Tess Tickle your drag grandmother? Because that was Trinity Ice's drag mother. Yeah, I think she'd love that term, grandmother. That sounds great. And that means Birth of the Beast is your great drag mother. I would say that's probably true too, yeah. Drag knowledge is passed down. Drag mother I would say that's probably true too Yeah It's a Like drag knowledge Is passed down

Traditionally it was always Passed down Through like Drag queens to drag queen Drag queen to drag queen Now you can learn Everything off YouTube And you learn so much

From watching RuPaul's Drag Race Yourself But before it was In the clubs On Karangahapi Road And you know You didn't know how to do it Unless you were taught by someone

Wow Yeah So that constitutes Your drag mum The person who like Helped you out Yeah Yeah Trinity my drag mum Has been like Such a huge support for me Right even Right up to drag race Getting me ready for it Yeah wow yeah so that constitutes your drag mom the person who like helped you yeah yeah trinity my

drag mom has been like such a huge support for me right even right up to drag race getting me ready for it yeah so how was your experience on drag race because at the start i felt like you were picked on it was at the start it was really really tough i mean everyone goes into drag race very very confident you know you have to be otherwise you wouldn't do it yeah um and you you know the world is watching so you have to have a sort of sense of delusion you know to sort of get away with being on that show but um it was tough at the start people yeah really weren't happy to see me there I guess your wig looks better this time the wig doesn't look a lot better you know all the critiques were valid all of the critiques were valid and and I know better than anyone what I look like I

think it was just how intensely I was constantly being barraged with critique um but you know that was also my job I had to learn how to deal with that and and learn not to take so much of it to heart saying that all the critiques were valid um in the episode where you were eliminated you were um read for not wearing heels um but it was a contemporary dance do you feel like that's unfair i mean it's a little bit like you know but like um it would have been a little bit of a health and safety issue for me to wear heels on the runway for that one but you know they're looking for what they're looking for do you know i mean the judges have a taste level and that's why they're picked because they've got expertise in their field and i think um it just wasn't my

day you know and and and I'd I'd worked really really hard over the competition like I was exhausted by that point you know I'd I'd I'd shown so much of myself more than I probably was prepared to show myself when I went to the show and more I thought I would more than I thought I would show but um yeah I was I was pleased you know I and and someone said the other day like what was your most proudest, you know, and someone said the other day, like, what was your most proudest moment, you know? And leaving was when I felt the most proud because it was only at that point that I really got a grasp on how much I'd accomplished over the process of the show. What were your three big learnings from the show then? I mean, there was just one and it was literally just to keep believing in yourself.

Right. As cheesy and generic as that sounds. Yeah. But I, my confidence was so knocked by the process and i thought now you're not worth it give up you know just make space but um no okay that's cool i literally had to just go that's pretty good you sometimes just have to be the only like because not you you're the only one who's going to have your back sometimes do you know i mean as much as you can count on your family and your friends and like put trust in people and try and make, you know, build yourself the support network.

If you don't have your back, all the help in the world is not going to help you get anywhere. And that's what I had to realise to myself. I said, I have to back myself first and then other people will help me get where I want to go. That's just a good life lesson full stop. I understand. In any industry.

Because even your friends slash bosses are not going to have your back. I understand. Kida mean throwing you under the bus. I know, I was like, girl, Yeah. In any industry. Because even your friends slash bosses are not going to have you back. 100%. Keita mean throwing you under the bus. I know. It's like, girl, we've just done this whole thing together. And that is it, though. As much as even there, I had sisters. You know, Keita is a great friend.

And I made great friends with Karen and with Maxie and even Coco right from the start. And Jojo. We had really strong connections. But we're all still competing for the same prize. At some point, we have to send each other home. And so there's always that little bit of thing in the back of your mind, which puts doubt. Every single interaction you have,

there's a little bit of doubt with it. Yeah. And who do you want to win? Who do you think deserves to win? Keita needs to win. Keita deserves to win. Kiwi. Kind of a team Kiwi, yeah.

Yeah, all right. Well, I'm sad to see you go. I thought you were amazing and I thought your outfit in this episode was one of the best. Oh, thank you. Really incredible. So, yeah, I'm sad, but all the best, Team Kiwi. We're on to bigger and better things now.

Yes. RuPaul's Drag Race is now the world, so, yeah. All stars. Exactly. Well, the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race down under will screen next Saturday on TVNZ On Demand at 6pm and TVNZ2 at 8.30pm. Where a queen will be named Down Under's first superstar. Exciting stuff.

Thanks for coming in. You're welcome. Thank you for having me. You've just caught Vaughan being passionate about sports. I just said the Warriors got pumped. The Blues are in a Super Rugby final. The Auckland Blues, by the way. For the first time in forever.

Since 1700. Yeah. And the Blackcaps won. Yeah, they did. Sports. Sports. That was a good wrap-up, Smitty. Yeah, that's kind of it.

Quickly, just side note. Did you see that football player? Yes. He just collapsed. Oh, my God. They had to give him the on the field. Cut away. Why would they go back to studio?

And they all created like a wall around him and they were crying. I was like, this is a lot. It was a lot to watch. But he's in, latest is he's in a hospital. He's stable. He's good. Okay, great. From that, I've recently found out that lactose is not for me.

So my husband and I went to a coffee shop and we were discussing with the barista the different options of milk because they usually get coconut milk. They didn't have it. So we're having chats about which milk to have. Oat. Actually, she talked me into trying an oat. I don't mind oat milk.

If I ever have a mocha, I'll get an oat milk mocha. It's delicious. Megan, another Megan who works upstairs, she's Irish, and she gets oat milk, and it's funny, in her Irish accent, she goes, I'm just going to have a wee dulti-ulti. I was like, a what? A dulti-ulti. I was like, I don't know what you're saying.

She's like, it's dulti. That means small. Okay. And it's ooty. I was like, I don't know what you're saying. She's like, it's dooty. Well, that means small. Okay. And it's ooty. And that's oat milk. It's a dooty ooty. I was like. Okay.

Cool, man. You're wild. Yeah, this is crazy. You're Irish. If I said that, it sounds super dumb. So, yeah, Andrew and I are standing there chatting about milks. Our son's nowhere to be seen. My parents were holding him.

Don't fret. But he went off to go to the bathroom and I waited for the coffees. Standing there, waiting around, and the barista calls me over and says, I can't remember if your brother wanted oat or almond. Hey! Your brother? I go, oh, who? Are you talking, is that our coffees?

And she's like, he is your brother, isn't he? She didn't say little brother or older brother, which I'm thankful for. But I said, oh, no. She's like, oh God, are you guys in a relationship? Are you in a relationship? I don't think you're one of those couples that looks like siblings. Thank you.

Because I've never had this before. He's way better looking than what? What? What were you going to say? I was going to say that. Yeah, it's me. Yeah. But if anything, you look more like his mum.

Like cool mum though. Yeah, cool mum. Cool mum. That happened when she was like 12. Okay. Like, so just like you're. I'd have to be like nine and a half, but cool. Your standard like Nelson fear.

Yeah. You're so offensive. No one listens to Nelson, suck it. It's true. Thanks, my hometown. She realised her mistake and was like, oh my God, are you guys in a relationship? I was like, yeah, we're married and that's our son.

Yeah, we're definitely not brother and sister. You said your mum and dad were there. Yeah. Right, so they might have been like, but there's a baby there. That would have been like... But she said, she tried to explain herself and said it was the dark features. She's like

you've both got like good intense eyebrows. He is so much darker than you. He is darker than me. You're like a pale ghosty white. You are almost like anemic looking albino. This wasn't a roast. It's almost like you haven't seen the sun in six months.

He's just dark and I'm like a nice normal tan. So, yeah. Wow. Then we got onto the discussion about whether we should post on that Instagram account. What is it? Siblings or partners?

Siblings or dating. Oh, yeah. I've forgotten about that page. Is it still going? There was one the other day where it was like this couple and they were in like togs. She was in a bikini and he was in like little short togs. And they were like in

what I would call an embrace. And I was like, no way. Dating. And it was siblings. And I was like, yeah. Don't hug your... Not with bare skin. I don't want any bare skin touching my siblings. No. Yeah, people in togs would be like, oh no. Yeah, I'll put on a jersey to touch my sister. Sometimes gloves.

And sometimes a balaclava. And even then it's a pat. You're super close to accidental boobie. Yeah, no, I only go in from the side. And she's on her side and I go like that. And then I'll pat. And that's as much as it gets. And then my brother, I'm like, we get a stick each and we tap the stick

so there's no accidental touching. We'll be like, hey, good to see you. Get out the hello stick. And we each get out a hello stick and we tap it once and then that's all the touching there'll be. So you don't have to touch each other. Tap and then pat and then no more touching. That's good.

Also, you and Mr. Toibu are always all over each other. I know. It's the one moment, obviously, good. Also, you and Mr. Toyber are always all over each other. I know. It was the one moment, obviously, where we didn't touch each other. And then did you go hard with the PDA afterwards so that the person was like... Oh, yeah, we pashed in front of her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, oh, wait a minute. She's like, oh, that brother and sister kissing.

That's definitely a brother-sister patch. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Oh, what's in the box? What is in the box? We know that there's $20,000 cash and it is yours if you can give us a four-digit pin. Now, we know there's a seven in there and it spells a four-letter word. So the seven would indicate on the keypad that there's a, what are the letters again? P-Q-R-S.

Yes. At least one of them. It could be multiple. Now, joining us, Renee, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How would you spend $20,000? Oh, many different ways.

Give it to me and I'll give it a go. Yeah, pretty much. Let's see. I reckon Megan could spend that in 20 minutes. Oh, yeah. Given all of her bookmarks. Would you put it in a high-returning KiwiSaver? Oh, sure.

Good call. Yeah, all right. Now, Renee, we need a four-digit pen, which is also a four-letter word. So the word I want to try is Tash Which is 8274 What's the reasoning behind that? Because her name is Natasha in the movie That's right Natasha Romanoff So Tash

T-A-S-H You're thinking Black Widow's got a cute little name Amongst the other Avengers and it's Tash Hey Tash we're going to go and stop Thanos Do you want to help out? Sure do Tracy and Stacey will be right there Tash, we're going to go and stop Thanos. Do you want to help out? Sure do. Tracy and Stacey will be right there. Tash. Tash.

Let's try that. 8, 2, 7, 4. Box is typing. This game is rather hard, so now I offer a boon. You are searching for a secret word? It is coming soon. What? The word?

You're searching for a secret word? Instead of the start there, bone. Well, like give a dog a bone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but there might be a clue there. He's throwing us a clue? Yeah, time to give you a bone. Sewn as a four-letter word. Searching for a secret word, and it is coming soon.

Hmm. Okay, well, your next shot is coming up with Georgia at midday. Renee, we do have a double pass to Marvel Studios' Black Widow in cinemas July 8th and streaming on Disney+, with premiere access July 9th. Conditions apply. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. If I was Kim Kardashian, I wouldn't have told anyone, but then she's got that reality show, pesky reality show where tells everyone everything. But she has failed the baby bar, the law, first year law exam

for the second time. So she took it again and she did a little bit worse than the first time she took it. She did worse? Yeah, you're supposed to get a 560 to pass. The first time she got a 474. The second time a 463. Which I like.

I feel like that's still pretty good. Because how long ago did she do the first one? Were you back when we talked about her failing the first time or was it just before you came back from maternity leave? It's a couple of episodes ago

that she failed it. Right. And she's failed it again. Failed it again. However, when she took it mid-quarantine,

obviously there's been some stuff going on with her and Kanye. But also, this opens the possibility she may have failed it six more times since. Yeah. Because this was filmed

last year and she's doing it like every couple of weeks. Or she's passed and we're about to find out in more episodes. Yeah. Well, because she said she's going to do it again because this one didn't count. But it's not a good sign if it's only your first law exam, your first big law exam. But they're

notoriously really hard. I know. I hope she passes. She's put in the effort and stuff and people want her to fail and that's pretty horrible to want someone to fail just because you don't like their reality show. But, like, if she studied hard, I hope she gets there. I hope she passes.

That's cute. Just, you know, imagine if it was your daughter, you know? Yeah. And everybody wants to see them fail, but then you're just like, yeah. I don't get any joy out of seeing her fail it. Yeah. If she wants it, then luck to her. I mean, she's got $1.4 billion.

She's okay. I don't know why she wants to be a lawyer. I don't either. I'd just be like chilling. I know. But she's also doing like really good work as a lawyer. So, you know, it'd be nice if she could continue that. Well, yeah, she's done a lot for prisoners' rights and people that have been locked up in reform.

Yeah, so good on her. But I mean, two times failed that we know of. Somebody said you can only take it three times and then you have to redo the year. Oh, God. Is that in New Zealand, though, or is it different in America maybe? Maybe it's different in America. But then how many times do you...

The exam takes seven hours. I wouldn't have even done that the first time. I don't have the ability to focus. And one go. Yeah. You have to sit that whole time.

Yeah, horrible. You can't walk around... And concentrate. You can't walk around dictating your answers to somebody to write down. To somebody to write down. No, no.

It turns out no. Seven hours. That's the thing. Lawyers spend so much time just boring, like reading stuff. Yeah. We were talking about this

Earlier this morning And this is when Producer Jared I don't know if you wanted To make Kim Kardashian Feel better Yes But you are actually

Well she's single now He's taking a shot Oh I feel bad For laughing at that You actually failed something How many times? Three times I passed my learner's license on my fourth attempt.

That's not too bad. What about the winner going to the bracket? What do you mean it's not? He's on our roads. No, I know, but that's not the practical, isn't it? Learner's is just the scratchy. Yeah, it's just a piece of paper. Yeah, you got it.

You know, like roundabouts, if you get to them, if you're in first, really, that's the winning car, right? Yeah. They're going to stop. If you've got the faster and bigger car, people will stop for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just a roundabout. Or if you've got a, what do you drive, a Vitz?

A Toyota Vitz. A Vitz. They're like, this guy's got a death wish. I don't know, what's a safety car rating on your little Vitz? I haven't even looked. It can't be good. It's very little. What about the practical driving side of things?

Oh, I was real good at that. That's great then. I've been in your car once or twice, and I didn't notice that you were a bad driver or anything. It's because I'm real scared of your fletch. It's like when you drive your nana, you're real careful. Yeah, go the speed limit. Or a cake.

Or a cake. Having fletch in your car is like having a cake in your car. You've got to go around the corners real slowly. We talked about that study the other week. People drive more safe with a cake in the car than like a loved one. I drove with a cake in the car at the weekend and it had little ball decorations. And every time you went around a corner, three more rolled off the cake. I was like, get, get, get.

And I was driving so slowly. Yeah. But you don't drive like that with your family in the car, do you? No, strap in and hold on. We're in a hurry. So we thought this morning with producer Jared failing his driver's license test three times, passing on his fourth, and Kim Kardashian failing the law exam twice, is there something that you've failed multiple times?

But, hey, maybe there's a good story at the end of it. Maybe you got there. Yeah. Maybe your driver's license took a while, a few tests, and hundreds of dollars later. Or maybe you cut your losses and realized it wasn't for you. Maybe there was an exam like the law exam or something. What if you failed multiple times? And maybe, yeah, maybe you did just give up.

That's okay. The good or bad stories. Yeah, we want to hear them all. Kim Kardashian has revealed she failed the baby bar again. So that's twice now. And apparently you can only take it three times before redoing the whole year of law school. But it sounds like she intends to do it

for a third time. So we would like to know what you've failed at multiple times. I'd just give up. I wouldn't have done it in the first so it's too hard. Producer Jared failing his learner's licence three times. Getting it on the fourth.

Good persistence there. Yeah. You've got to stick with it. But then also pass the other test, like flying colours. Yeah. So he's just more of a, you know. More of a doesn't know the road rules. Than a, you know, can drive with a clutch.

I was driving the other day because I don't drive that much. And do you remember when we had that crazy rule that if you were turning left, you'd have to give way to the person turning in front of you? And I was like, how nuts was that? But also, I'm amazed at how quickly everyone adopted the new change. Yeah, and they changed it on April Fool's Day. I know, also mad.

That was silly. Some text messages on what you've failed. I failed ACC 111. That's accounting, an accounting paper. I failed it at Vic Uni three times. That was the limit, so I had to go to another university to complete the paper to get my degree.

See, give up. I don't think accounting's for you if you fail three times in your first year, unless you're just absolutely getting drunk every night. See, I'm catching up with my accountant today. I need to know that she's passed all these things. I was going to say, when you go to your accountant, it's not like you're like, how many times did you fail or fall past it? And they're like, I'm really good at accounting apart from like the tax part.

That is Wally Hart. It's because they're always changing the tax rules, you see. Sometimes that's Labour are like, we're going to get more tax. And then the other guys are like, we'll cut the tax. I can't keep up with who's getting what. Yeah, I don't know. So you might go to jail because I couldn't do that. I got my learners in 2016

after many fails. I'm going for my restricted today. Other failures over the past five years include relationships. Those aren't failures. They're learning curbs. Good luck today. That's a good way of looking at it. I failed my restricted license four times

All in the last five to eight minutes of the test When you're driving around Apparently I was doing great Until like the very last part of it Right Rob joins us What do you keep failing Rob? Well I've been through five relationships

So five relationships, five engagements And now I'm on my sixth one wait so you're currently engaged i'm currently engaged with my partner that i've only been with probably about six months you see rob i'm gonna ask are you rushing in here rob or you just want to lock it down reading the room when you propose to these women oh mate i'm just getting too old for you know just yeah capital b's yeah okay just get in there and write so when you're getting feeling Oh, mate, I'm just getting too old for, you know, capital Bs. Yeah, okay, just get in there and write. So when are you getting feeling after five Bs, Rob,

you might be a B, like, well, that's, yeah, you don't. Is it fair to be blaming everybody else the entire time? There's a common denominator in this problem. Well, the one I've got now is actually the one that, yeah, that's done better than everyone else, so, yeah. Oh, that's good. And so when are you getting married? I don't know yet. She said that she doesn't know when. God, she's good. And so when are you getting married? I don't know yet. She said that she doesn't know when.

God, she's out. She's planning on her escape, Rob. Rob, just do it this weekend, Rob. I don't know if I can get it locked in, Rob. Don't give it time to think about it. Are you guys giving me a free one, are you? God, no, Rob. A free no.

I just don't see you as a solid investment, Rob. No offence. Thanks for your call, mate. We've got Sarah. Sarah, what do you keep failing at? Hello. Answering the phone. I've had a few clothing labels.

I actually made Megan's first wedding bracelet. Sarah! Oh, my God, no, she cursed you, Sarah. So I didn't fail the first one. It's just Chinese market came in and we were New Zealand made, so we shut it down. Okay. And then I attempted to go offshore myself,

and it was okay, but we didn't make any money, so that closed down. And then I've just started again. Isn't that a distinct part about businesses? But I've never given up because I believe I've got a talent, and it's finally working. You met Rob from before he's got a talent in relationships. I mean, I'm on my third dad.

I think me and Rob would probably be a ripe pair. He's like, will you marry me? You're like, I know a woman who can make the dresses. It's me. Anyone out there who's had a failed business, do not stop. It's so hard. That's why I couldn't do a business because it's too scary. And it's so hard.

I have six now. I actually have Kid Z, which is the one that sent you the pop-it toys. Those things are everywhere. I know. So I've put in business letters And I think one will work Like one's bound to work That's it

You've got to just keep going Keep at it Those dresses were beautiful, Sarah One's going to work The IAD's like Alright, that one didn't Where's $50,000 yet? Damn it!

Alright, Sarah Thanks for your call Some text messages Lots of people failing Their driver's licence Which makes me feel really great About driving home today Hopefully they'll all be at work or crashed by then.

Somebody said, I failed my 20s. Someone said, I failed fifth form three times and then gave up to save myself the embarrassment. I have a dream that I'm my age now, 39, and I'm still at school giving seventh form that final crack. But I can't... I'm way older school giving 7th form that final crack like but I can't I'm way older than everybody yeah right

but I'm just not quitting until I get up I passed 7th form the first time I don't think as a man in his late 30s

you should be going to a high school all the time nah and they're like hey kids what's up dudes are we partying

this weekend shaka brah oh we're doing a tiktok I know a couple of, nope. Miss, this guy's creepy talking to me again. He's older than the average teacher, miss. My nana passed her learners on the 17th go.

Nah, she stopped. She never needed it. 17, she was 72 when she finally passed it. No. I think if you're failing something at least five times, you need to give up on it. Yeah. It's not for you. It's not, you need to give up on it. Yeah. It's not for you.

It's not for you. Driving is not for her. It's not for you. That's all about Rob before. This is his last go. And then he's just going to chill by himself. You're being very mean to Rob.

I'm not being mean to Rob. You don't know that Rob is the problem. Maybe he's just attracted to women that don't treat him very well. Well, then Rob's the problem. Rob's got to value himself.

Yeah, okay. Rob's just got to slow down and enjoy Rob, you know? Well, he's only, this one could work. He has faith in this one. She's got further than the rest. His words. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day is about whales. Not the country. The sea mammal. Did you see that story about, was it a diver that got eaten by, or when he escaped from the mouth of like a big whale? It went in the mouth. Yeah, it went in the mouth. And then he got out.

But then whale experts doubt that his story is legit. Really? Yeah. He's lying. Well, they're just not sure. How far in the mouth did he go? A lobster diver was nearly swallowed by a humpback whale one day ago. Let me click on this story. Now, he could have gone in the mouth, swallowed and misleading.

A humpback whale's got the very small holes. Because it goes in right, and then it filters out all the krill and all the yums, and then they can swallow it, but they couldn't swallow something like, they're massive, right, but they couldn't swallow anything bigger than a basketball. So this is what he said.

Michael is his name, 56. He said in local interviews with news media, he was diving off the coast of Provincetown Friday morning when a whale suddenly scooped him up. He said, I was in his closed mouth for about 30 to 40 seconds before he rose to the surface to spit me out. I'm very bruised up, but I have no broken bones. And then they pulled him, a ship was nearby,

pulled him up and went to hospital. So he was in the mouth, not just like the whale just happened to shoot. Can you imagine a whale's got no interest in hitting a human. You imagine shutting your mouth and a human was in there, you'd be like. Well, yeah. You'd be able to taste it all day. Yeah. The stink of a human.

Well, today's fact of the day is kind of about the whale's mouth. Today's fact of the day is whales cannot breathe through their mouths. And they're one of the only mammals that don't. Okay. They're not in any way linked. Their mouth hole, incapable of breathing. It would be like evolution over time changed it so that the nostrils, like you imagine our nostrils, migrated to the top of our head.

So that when we're under the water, we just need to pop that little bit up and be like, I need a hole in my hat. Yeah, you would. Or a little flap. You need a peak. Like a golfer's peak. My hair would get clogged in my hole.

Yeah, I think your hair would probably, we'd all have bald spots on the top of our head for our nostrils to be on, I think. Through the evolution that would see our nostrils move to the top of our head. And then the mouth became,

it's two completely different. Yeah, right. They couldn't come up and be like, blowhole. And then their mouth comes up and they're like, and go back under

because they can't breathe. No breathing ability in the mouth. They're using that for scooping up food and divers. Yep, just the water goes in there and all of the food they eat

but absolutely not linked whatsoever. And baleen whales have two holes, so they've pretty much got nostrils, if you see a photo, they've got like two nostrils on top of their heads. But in a whole lot of other whales, like toothed whales, they've only got one and the second nasal duct,

that changed and it's used for echolocation now. Right. Do they get like blocked noses or like snossy noses? Colds. Yeah, that's why sometimes you'll see a whale or a dolphin with vicks under their nose. It's because they've got a cold. On the top, just going like... Now, you know what would be fun as an experiment?

And I don't, you would never be able to do this because it's real naughty and cruel. But imagine if you put a Vuvuzela in the hole. So they came up and they're like. Or one of those party poppers with the paper on it. No, you wouldn't be able to because those things, even blowing in those, the paper gets damp

and then it sticks and you've got to rip it off and then it just becomes a hooter. Yeah. And so they come up for some air and they're like, yeah, it'd be brilliant. It'd be easier to find them.

I mean, God, you can't even fly a drone or kayak near one. Otherwise, the Department of Conservation get all, you know. Kai Korda, though, would make them way easier

to find them when they do. You'd be like, okay, echolocation set, it's going to be over there. If I caught her, that would make them way easier to find them when they do. You'd be like, okay, echolocation set, it's going to be over there. And then you hear, you're like, no, that way. Yeah, it'd be great.

Do you think whales' lungs, as a percentage of their body, bigger or smaller than other mammals, than average mammals? Smaller, bigger. No, smaller. No, that was all in the question.

Yeah, because you think it's going to be bigger because of how much time they spend under but they're not they're smaller but apparently like way more intense

okay and like surrounded by cartilage so when they dive down the pressure doesn't like crush it they can hold the air in there

and slowly use it before coming back up and using the party popper brilliant would certainly take away some majesticness it before coming back up. And using the party popper. Brilliant. Would certainly take away some majesticness of the beautiful creature. Every time they surfaced it was like... So today's fact of the day

is whales can't breathe through their mouths whatsoever. It's all through the blowhole baby. Fact of the day, all through the blowhole, baby. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. An interior designer's on the attack and has listed things that you shouldn't have in your home after you're 30. Oh, all the Midori bottles you've been drinking. On top of the fridge.

Or the empty alcohol bottle. Yeah, or the Jim Beam bottles on the windowsill. Yeah. Decorative flags. Are you just trying to think of everything you had in your house as a student? Well, I was just thinking like when student flats, yeah, where you had the bits and pieces, you had to fill up all the empty spaces.

Both of those should be on the list. Someone always had a Bob Marley flag somewhere in there. And a road sign. Yeah, road sign. Your old mattress, it says share house mattress. Yeah, so like your flatting mattress. My producer Anya's on her parents' old bed.

Because apparently... Are you? Yeah, remember we talked about this. They made sweet love and then gave it to her. But was it the bed that you were conceived upon? Maybe Vaughn wasn't here. Don't want to ask. Maybe it was when you were away.

I think this was when you were getting your colonoscopy. Right. They handed down... I was getting love made to me in a different way. She wasn't on your parents' bed. This bed is one year older than producer Arnie is. 100%. Yeah.

That's where you were made. Choking on water. And I'm emotional about it. Because, yeah, also you need to think about the dust mites inside it. Apparently, yeah, pretty good. Inflatable furniture. Oh, neat. I had a blue blow-up couch.

I had a, it was like you buy so many boxes of, it might have been tui or something, and you collect the things and then you could get like a blow-up tui couch that had speakers in it. God, the speakers were terrible, the couch was uncomfortable, it popped on the first day. It was not worth drinking all that

second-rate beer. I had a rule that you couldn't sit on it with jeans because, you know, like, I didn't want anyone to pop it. I don't know where that is now, but it's gone. So, yeah, you shouldn't have that.

Isn't that weird? Like, you get something like that, like, you put so much effort into making sure it didn't get ruined and now you look back and you're like, I should have just let people sit on it with jeans on.

Yeah. I came across like a real a-hole and it actually meant nothing to me in the long run. And we had a party tarp, so we put a tarp down on the carpet in our rental because we didn't, but then the red wine got under it and just got stomped in because we didn't see it. Yeah. Moshed in with the tarp.

Yeah, yeah. Soft toys on your bed. You should not have those after the tarp. Yeah, yeah. Soft toys on your bed. You should not have those after the age of 30, apparently. Okay. You don't have any soft toys? No, not anymore. I did. R.I.P. Barclay.

I don't know where he's gone. That's another thing. You've made Barclay hang around for so many years and now she's been discarded. Yeah, yeah. Plastic cups, plates or cutlery. After the age of 30 you should not be using these in your household. Unless you've got a pool.

No glassware poolside. What if you're playing beer pong or something? No glassware poolside or children. You don't give children breakable cups. I think it's fine to have plastic if you're having a party. Sure. Reusable plastic. And old trophies.

Old trophies Yeah don't hang on To your bloody High school athletics Win ribbon or Gold medal No one cares You don't win trophies

In adult life You gotta hold on To the ones That you won when you're younger I don't have any I didn't win anything But if I did I'd probably hold on to it

We should start Giving out trophies Like you say If you're an adult, the trophies per person drops away significantly after school ends. Like there's still trophies, but it's the very elite, the very gifted who win the trophies. And you've got to hand them back most of the time.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe that would be a good prize. It's not like you could win the local golf club trophy, but hundreds of people are in the running for that. Yeah. It's a good call. Trophies do drop right away. But that's okay.

You're not supposed to have them in your house after you're 30. But what if that was your crowning glory? Exactly. Like you were a sports person. Is the lava lamps on the list? I would have thought lava lamps would have been on the list, but not on the list. Did you have a lava lamp?

Nah. I did. Fire hazard. They could get hot to the touch. Yeah. I had a green and blue one. I have a lot of things on the list, but not on the list. Did you have a lava lamp? Nah, fire hazard. They could get hot to the touch. Yeah. I had a green and blue one. I have a lot of things on this list. Buzzfeed has an article out at the moment talking about the rise of the celebrity NDA. And this is a non-disclosure agreement.

These are quite common. It's just a contract really. It's like a confidentiality contract which if you break, if you actually read these things, you can be sued and have to pay out thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

Back in the day, pre-Haley, isn't this what the Biebs used to do? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, there were rumours that if he hooked up with anyone, you had to sign one of these do. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, there were rumours that if he hooked up with anyone you had to sign one of these agreements. Really?

Yeah. I don't know how I know that. And we sign them all the time for work because we might interview a celebrity about a book or a movie or a song. Before it's released. Yeah, and so they don't want us blabbing about it to like anyone and everyone.

Yeah. So it just keeps your mouth shut for a couple of weeks. Yeah. You might see a movie like three months or six months before it comes out. So we've signed lots but none that juicy. None like. No. So BuzzFeed talked to this

one girl who was in LA. I think they were out and they met an A-list celebrity. They don't say who it is. They just say A-list celebrity get invited back to their house, and there's loads of drugs. They go in depth about the drugs and the partying. And then the celebrity says, at the end of the night,

do you want to go upstairs to my bedroom? See, I would have thought the NDA would have been signed before the drugs came out. Before you even, like, went back to the house. Yeah, well, yeah. And the car ride back. Well, you'd think so. So that's when the celebrity says, yes, I do back to the house. Yeah, well, yeah. The car ride back. Well, you'd think so. So that's when the celebrity says,

she says, yes, I do want to go upstairs. He says, okay, but you will have to sign this two-page non-disclosure agreement, a confidentiality agreement. And it even stipulated in the agreement not to talk about the agreement. Really? Without talking about the agreement. But then this person is speaking on condition of anonymity

obviously to BuzzFeed and they don't mention the celebrity. So they're, I'm assuming, not going to know it's them. Oh, juicy. But he had to spring it on them after they'd all done drugs too. Yeah. Oh, is that going to stand up in court then if you were

incapacitated, right? Yes, not in the right state of mind. But then you're also admitting that you did illegal drugs. Yeah. And then also, now the argument, and then this has gone online because it talks about various celebrities, and there's also, I've never seen The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but there's Candy on Real Housewives of Atlanta, but there's Candy on Real Housewives of Atlanta. She said on the

show, she's into threesomes. And she said on the show that she requires people to sign an NDA before she does that. You can, if you put yourself in the shoes of the celeb, you can kind of understand. Totally. Because if they,

if the other person doesn't have like a satisfactory experience or they just want to, like, belittle you in public. Yeah, or you don't call them back because it was a one-night thing and then they get jilted and they're like. Yeah. They could really say anything they want. Well, they could say you're terrible in bed.

That's what I was alluding to. Yeah, imagine that all over the celebrity websites. Or give details about, well, you look, like, naked. That's what I was alluding to. Yeah, imagine that all over the celebrity websites. Or give details about what you look like naked. That's not very nice. So this kind of just covers all bases, really. So you can kind of see why they do it. But then, yeah, if you're hooking up with a hottie, you kind of want to tell everyone.

But you don't have to sign that. You can leave. Yeah. It's not like you're forced to sign that. Earlier in the show, we talked about the top five sexual fantasies for males and females. A lot of paperwork was not on either side of that. I mean, it is.

We ran a poll on our Instagram. Would you hook up with a celebrity if you had to sign a confidentiality agreement? 53% of people said yes. Wow, that's a lot lower than I thought it would be. I know. You thought it would be high. What is it that is the problem?

Like, I defy you to stand in front of your favourite hottie and say no. I'm not going to sign that. Like if Harry Styles was like, sign this, you can hook up with me. I'd be like, I probably wouldn't even read it for monies. Terms and conditions, you'd just scroll to the bottom and be like, where do I click accept? They're like, you have to sign it.

You're like, done. And you've just signed over all your money and everything to him. Yeah, right. I just thought it would be more, I thought more people

would sign it, to be honest. But there's something creepy about it, you know? It's not very sexy, is it? Like,

signing a really serious legal form before you get down to business. Is it freaking people out? Is that the thing? Maybe. Maybe because we sign lots of NDAs all the time. I'm like, this is another one. What if like... Yeah, I mean, see, I sign

these things all the time and I tell everyone I know. Rita Ora is in front of you. Born? Oh, that's Taika's lady I dare and treat on her brother's toes. Vanessa Hudgens. Um. So what do I have to do? Wait, in this scenario

Vaughn's single, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're allowed to go back to her place but you've got to sign an NDA. Right. You still tell us, though, eh? Yeah, yeah. I thought so. I tell you about the time I went to Vanessa Hudgens' house And then I freaked out

And I had her have a cry And then nothing happened Because she ripped up the NDA And said, get out of my house You wimp And I was like, I'm sorry It's ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
