Play. The M's, Fletchbourne and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletchbourne and Megan podcast. It's thanks to Metcafe. Download the Maccas app to get Metcafe rewards today. And for the podcast intro today, we're joined by a very special guest all the way from the United Kingdom.

Will Cutbell, who stacked five M&M's on top of each other on a lockdown rainy day. Will, hello. Hiya, guys. How are we doing? Good, mate. Congratulations on your Guinness World Record round of applause. Well done.

Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I did try this, and I got to two. And then I got frustrated, and I ate the whole packet. Yeah, when you tell people that the world record is a whopping five, they think, right, I'm going to give that a crack. But harder than it looks, isn't it? I know. It's so much harder. I thought the same thing. Yeah, the two is easy. And then the three, was there a

special technique that you use? We did wonder if using your thumb or fingers to make them warmer and then squished them a little bit helped? Oh, I don't think that would be allowed, unfortunately. I'd love to say that I used glue or stuck a toothpick through the middle of them all, but unfortunately it was just rugged determination that got me through. So there was no squishing them down, that's not allowed? That's not allowed, unfortunately, no. It's stack them as they are, unfortunately, yeah,

which is probably why it took me so long. Did you know, was there a previous Guinness World Record for this, or did you do it and then claim the record after? Yeah, there was. So one rainy lockdown afternoon over here in the UK, we entered our third lockdown, and I bought myself a bag of M&Ms, and I thought, a bit bored, let's try and stack them.

Got to only two or three back then, and I thought, you know what? There might be a record in this. So I gave it a Google, and there it was. The record was four, and I thought, I'm giving this a crack tomorrow. Wow. And whereabouts in the world did this record exist?

Oh, I'm not sure. Was it America, maybe? I think it might have been Italy, you know. Okay. Oh, yeah, those are well known for their engineering, aren't they? The Italians. The people that bought us Ferraris and Lamborghinis and M&M records previous to yours.

Wow, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Let's not forget that. It did look like a Leaning Tower, yeah. So what do you think, are you willing to give away your technique? Because, yeah, we tried and I can't get past two. Is there some kind of technique that you discovered? Well, again, I'd love to be able to say that I used my degree in civil engineering to work out the best way to do this, but not quite.

I was going to ask if your background in civil engineering helped, but no, not at all. Just sheer determination. I think now, with the sun shining and the beer gardens back open, maybe I wouldn't have spent so long trying. Right, yeah. Good distraction. Have you framed the certificate? Is it going to go prior to place in your house?

Oh, yeah. The certificate's framed. It's on the wall as we speak. The InstaBio's been changed. It's all updated. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's InstaBio's been changed. It's all updated. Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's InstaBio Guinness World Record holder. It's nice to know you didn't waste lockdown, though.

You really achieved something. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. I think over here when it was lockdown three in the coldest January we've had in a long time, I thought, you don't want to leave the house. What better way of spending it? Well, Matt, maybe that's the key. The house was so cold, the M&Ms just froze together. Do you think?

Maybe that's the golden rule. Yeah. Have M&Ms reached out? Have you received a lifetime supply or, like, some free boxes? No, unfortunately not, you know. I've not heard anything from M&M. I've asked them, but I haven't heard anything. or like some free boxes? No, unfortunately not, you know. I've not heard anything from Eminem. I've asked them, but I've not heard anything.

Oh, rude. How dare they? You'd think they'd be a sitter for some free bags. Yeah. Giving them all this praise. At least a few free bags. Come on, guys. See them on throw. Well, Will, thanks for joining us today,

and good luck one day hitting the magical six. Great stuff. Thank you very much, guys. Have a great day. Cheers, mate. Thanks so much, mate. Really appreciate it. ZM's Fleetspawn and Megan.

ZM's Fleetspawn and Megan. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleetspawn and Megan. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleeche Fawn and Megan. And isn't that nice? Harry and Will's friends again. Yeah. Or are they just doing that thing where you're told to behave yourself?

Or you'll get another hiding. Yeah. I'm a bit sick of hearing about it. I'm definitely sick of hearing about how it's all Megan's fault. Oh, I was sick of hearing about it. I'm definitely sick of hearing about how it's all Megan's fault. Oh, I was sick of the blaming of Megan. When the blaming of Megan started. Like, the royal family hasn't had problematic issues for, like, generations. Yeah.

Just let them sort their stuff out. See, I just don't want to hear about it. All right. Well, we don't have cash to give away today on the show. We got one yesterday, didn't it? Should it? $20,000 cash with the box. It's open.

It's open. And that was the pin as well, right? Open with a zero instead of an O. Damn it. What do you think about that? I don't know. It seems really obvious. The most obvious one.

Yeah, great. Alicia winning the $20,000 cash. We'll catch up with her later this morning, see how that's sunk in. See how many of her friends are trying to leech some cash off of her. Lucky she's got a common name. She could be like, nah, must have been another one. 100%. Your chance to win tickets to Drax Project, Mitch James,

and to Needham before 7 on the show. The top six coming up. Two new inter-islander ferries have been commissioned by KiwiRail. Yeah, I was reading about these. I'm excited about this because me and my friend got a dud one over the summer holidays.

What do you got? The little dud one that doesn't have much in it. I didn't know there was a dud one. Yeah, there's like three and one of them's like real little. It's got like three rooms, like the cafeteria and a couple of decks. Like tiny decks. It's real little.

Oh. Yeah, it was a dud one. I know people are a bit like, ooh, Bluebridge. Like that. But I've been on the Bluebridge twice, and I found it thoroughly enjoyable. Because they've got the cabins you can hire out if you want to have little nunnies. Yeah, the truck drivers. Yeah, I will know what nunnies means, mate.

You didn't need to do the hand motion. I thought you were just going to say it, to be honest. Well, that's what the truckies do, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, God bless them. And why shouldn't they? They clean those cabins before the next sailing. Yeah.

I've got the current fleet open here on the inter-islanders. The Arateri? No, it wasn't that one. The Kaiarahi? Or the Kaitaki? Oh, maybe it's the Kaitaki. Okay, so the smallest one of those is the Kaiarahi. That can only have 550 passengers.

What's the other one? 1,300 on the Kaitaki. And what's the other one? Arateri. Arateri. 600. Oh, yeah, I was on the little... I didn't know they had three either

Yeah it was the little one Yeah it was rubbish Because I was a 550 Yeah Okay so new New ferries So what's the top six Dealing with?

Top six features Of those new ferries Oh okay It's coming up on the show We're getting new boats We might as well load them up With um You know features

Yeah well like cruise ships Did they get them At the boat show Do you know? They got onto the boat show They're like this but a thousand times bigger. Got to have a fish finder.

A dolphin finder. Yeah. That'd be great. Tell us when the dolphins are there. Next, we want to talk about a Melbourne suburb

that's got new rules that would affect you, Fletch, actually. This is absolutely outrageous. CDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. This is worse than I thought it was initially because when I read this initially I thought it was just for 24 hours

but it's 24 hours as in all the time. Seven days a week. Seven days a week. Three, six, five. This is a Melbourne suburb. It's not all of Melbourne. It's East Melbourne. There's a suburb.

Knox City Council is encouraging cat owners to keep their cats on their private properties for 24 hours a day. So they're never allowed to leave your area? Your dwelling. Either. So they can stay. They can venture into the front and backyards and garages,

but they want to keep cats off the streets. But what is this? Is the eastern suburb of Melbourne, are the eastern suburbs, are they near bush or... Bird reserves or lizards or snakes? I don't know. Or do they just hate cats?

Well, I guess they're, yeah, like eating birds and stuff. But there's going to be a fine as well. So there's going to be like a six-month kind of grace period where they're going to be, you know, warning people and telling them about it. Right. And then a 91 Australian dollar, that's weird, fine will be handed down if it's a first warning, but then they could be fined up to $545

if they continually breach the rules. As a cat owner, I'll tell you, cats just do what they want. Yeah. You can keep your cat inside, though. Yeah, I keep my cat inside. But if your cat was used to going outside, good luck with that. But they're obviously going to find cats that are out and about, and they all have to be registered,

so they're going to do random door knocks to check if your cat's registered, if it's not $330 fine. And then if they find cats out and about. And it doesn't say why they're doing this. Well, I mean. Dogs have to be registered. I think it's only fair that cats do the same. Cats wander further than dogs. And they do get up to shenanigans.

They don't poo on people's lawns. Cats. Yeah, they shit in their sandpits, mate. So their kids go out. They cover it up. They're really considerate. They'll cover it up. So you don't see it when you jump into the sandpit.

Yeah, so it just gets all over your hands and your feet. That's fine. Yeah, no, it's just to keep cats off the street. That's their... How bizarre. These councillors will be voted out next term. 100%. You don't mess with cat owners.

It's like Gareth Morgan. He can't go out in public now. Oh, I think he's okay. I think his money and his adventures and stuff, I think he's going to be okay. I just feel bad for the cats. I liked his approach to cats. He wanted to kill them all, didn't he?

Only like the feral ones. The ferals and the strays. I'm all right with that, the ferals. Because feral cats aren't like your domestic tab. Oh, no, they're not cute. They don't curl up on your lap. No. They do the thing that you do when your cat's had enough of being curled up in your lap,

just lashes out and attacks you and ferociously scratches you. That's just them 24-7. Yeah. So... Yeah, well, I mean, good luck with that. What do you get? One of those little electric... Like, have you seen that invisible fencing?

No. What does it shock them, though? Yeah. Oh, that's nice. But only a little bit. You put it under their skin, and people have it with dogs to stop dogs crossing like an invisible fence.

They get there and just give them a little... And they turn around, and then they learn. It should be like a little water spritzer on their collar. Yeah, right. To close to the... Yeah. My supermarket's got that with trolleys, invisible line. It just hits this point and it won't...

And the brakes lock up. I'll just be like, I'll just take this trolley home with all my groceries and it's like, lock. No, you don't. Thanks, Count. Thanks, Count. You should be trying to steal from a supermarket running full tilt when that happens.

You end up in the basket. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. Well, there has been a study, Megan, and this may affect you. Oh, okay. The University of Auckland Associate Professor Eileen Luters and Dr. Florian Kurth. Okay. Nailed it. Absolutely perfect.

Looked at the changes of the brains of 14 women who had had pregnancies. Oh, okay. And they focused on the amygdala. Abdullah Ablangada. No. Abdullah. Like from Waterboy. Yeah. Yes. The Abdullah Ablangada. No. Abdullah. Like from Waterboy. Yeah.

The Abdullah Ablangada, boy. No, not that. It's not that. Amagdala. But not Abdullah Ablangada. There's an almond-shaped region of the brain. Okay. And what's it called again?

The amagdala. It changes every time. Amagdala. You've literally said it. I again? The amygdala. It changes every time. Amygdala. You've literally said it. I'm sticking on amygdala. You've literally said it different both times. So it's on the left and right temporal lobe, deep in there, and it's involved in processing and regulating emotions.

Oh, okay. So they measured the amygdala right after the woman gave birth and again five weeks later and said that the region had increased in size. Really? And it could be the result of or cause for the special attachment that forms between a mother and a newborn. So it's not making your head bigger. It's just that certain part in the brain.

Right. It's the interior. part in the brain. Right. Okay. It's the interior. So it makes you more emotional. Uh-huh. Have you noticed yourself being more emotional? I do care about babies more. Yeah, because you were a bitch before.

I know. I didn't really kind of like, I was like, man. I saw you drop one and then you didn't even apologise to the mother. You were like, oh. No. It just happens, yeah. Slippery, that's your fault. You should put grip tape on your baby.

No, I didn't even hold them before. Stop vacillating up your baby. But even like now when I sit, because we're watching small, what is it? Sweet Tooth. Little Sweet Tooth. Oh, yeah, but. And there was the little, when Gus was a baby. Little sweet tooth. Oh, yeah, but. And there was the little, when Gus was a baby,

that's not a spoiler, eh? No, no. When I saw Gus on a baby, like, every time I see a baby now, I'm like, oh my God, pick it up. It's crying. Oh, look after it. Oh, is he going to be okay?

What did you think when you saw baby Gus on sweet tooth? I was just like, oh, this is going to be a nightmare for that poor father. That's what I thought. I thought, why is he doing this? Why has he burdened himself with this?

In the midst of a pandemic, no less. An apocalyptic little event. I love that show, though. Sweet Tooth is brilliant. Yeah. I cannot wait for season two. A Quiet Place 2. Oh!

I need to watch that. That killed me. Did you watch A Quiet Place, the first quote? Yeah, I loved it. Absolutely loved it. Oh, the second one is so good. I cried at one point because of the baby in that. That's not a spoiler.

Right. But like. God, you're a mess now, aren't you? Look at you. All over the show. Because I never used to really like emotionally feel anything when it came to like other people's babies. I mean, you were emotionally all over the show, but just not. Yeah, you didn't have that kind of connection to seeing.

High maintenance, low emotion. Oh, okay. Low emotion. Yeah, bitch, all over the show, but no emotion. Yeah. See, you two high maintenance bitches. I mean. It takes one to know one.

So also, apparently this part of the brain are pretty important to do with smell. Have you been sniffing more? No, but when you're pregnant, you smell. It's like a heightened sense of smell. Except your porridge smelled like curry one day. Do you remember at Auckland? No, that was the day I put curry in my porridge. I was trying some of your things.

Before the pandemic, Auckland Airport used to try out pregnant women instead of beagles. And sniffer dogs. And sniffer dogs. They got into the coke though and that wasn't good for the baby. It was bad for the baby. Yeah. ZDM Splits, Ron and Megan.

From the smoggy ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Two new inter-islander ferries have the deals been signed. The contract worth $551 million with Korea's Hyundai Meepo Dockyard. Hyundai. Did I say Hyundai or did I say Hyundai? Hyundai. Okay, Hyundai.

Like the people that make the cars. Correctamundo. You've got a Hyundai. I do, yes. A Santa Fe. So what is this, the Inter-Islander Santa Fe Aqua. Aqua. The Aqua.

The Aqua Santa Fe. Yeah. Lots of Hayondai four-wheel drives are named after weirdly, I don't know why, like American Midwest cities. There's Santa Fe, there's Tucson. Oh, yeah. So they could be like the Arizonas. The Inter-Islander Arizona.

Arizona. And then we get them and we'll rename them. Yeah. We'll could be like the Arizonas, the inter-islander Arizona. Arizona. And then we get them and we'll rename them. Yeah. We'll paint over that, chuck a Toreo name on there, and get on with business. But the new ferries were nearly double passenger capacity and probably won't arrive until 2025, 2026. Okay.

And they're going to be able to have- And it'll be a fun trip to be on them when they drive them down there. I think that'll be a cool job. What? Being a captain of a big ship, but your job, you were hired by Hyundai to deliver big ships. Oh, yeah. So you'd just be on this massive ship.

Yeah. With a central crew. For like weeks. Yeah. Go down and play the pokies while no one's there. Put it on autopilot. Yep. Go for a wander.

Grab some overpriced pies. Yeah. So the transport minister said they're going to be rail-enabled ferries. They're going to reduce transport emissions, support more goods, and people crossing the Cook Strait. They're going to have battery-powered, they're going to have batteries that will power 40% of the maneuvering. Oh, that's good.

Like when they park and stuff, they have to reverse in. Because if you've ever seen a ship when they've got to, like, just nudge their arse in a bit, it's always like, that's good. Like when they park and stuff, they have to reverse in. Because if you've ever seen a ship when they've got to like just nudge their ass in a bit, it's always like and like the smoke blows out. It's not a good look.

Good for our missions. As time goes on, more batteries could be added and the ship could be modified to run on like hydrogen when it becomes like a more viable fuel source. Yeah, so that's pretty cool.

Fancy. Yeah, that's pretty cool. People will whinge about that. I saw a hydrogen bus drive past the other day and I was like, what about the Hindenburg? Did we not like

learn from that? It's not full of hydrogen. Are you sure? It's not loaded with hydrogen tanks. Are you sure it's not Vaughan? Well, I'm not getting on a hydrogen.

Look, I'm not sure. To be honest, I'm not sure. You aren't, are you? I am not sure. What happens if a rubbish truck crashes into it? Well, I'm not getting on a hydrogen. Look, I'm not sure. To be honest, I'm not sure. You aren't, are you? I am not sure. What happens if a rubbish truck crashes into it? Well, I certainly won't be driving on a hydrogen bus yet. And didn't the Hindenburg have a flame as well? Didn't the Hindenburg have helium?

Helium? There was a whole lot of problems with the Hindenburg, right? I don't know, but did you see that historic explosion photo? I have, and it's horrifying. Oh, the humanity! That's what the man says because that's what the thing was on the top

of the Empire State Building, right? The thing was supposed to be, I'm not even lying, like airships were supposed to dock and there's going to be an unloading platform

for airships at the top of the Empire State. That's what the spy is for. Oh, that's great. Yeah, that's how they'd arrive in New York City. Wow. So the top six features

of the new inter-islander ferries. Number six on the list of the features. And these are the ones I reckon we ask for, not get confirmed. Glass bottomed. Sounds structurally sound, doesn't it? You know when you're in like Fiji or Rarotonga and you go around the reef and you've got a glass bottomed seat. You're like, oh, was that a turtle or just a bit of coral? I don't know, but let's just say it was a turtle.

Oh, it was a tyre. Yeah, I think you're probably going to just seem rubbish on the Cook Strait. On the Cook Strait. Yeah. Well, then maybe it will shame us into picking up our rubbish. True. Number five on the list of the top six features of the new Inter-Islander are fairy Maui dolphin-friendly propellers.

Oh, that's good, because at the moment we're churning through them. Like eight a day, Megan. Just chop, chop, chop, chop, chop. That's not actually a thing, eh? Is it bad for the dolphins? If they swim into them. And you always say that, you know the ones where

they'll be like cruising on the inter-islander and the dolphins are like jumping out of the water but the fat one wasn't quick enough. They had to cut the ad before the blood out of the water. The fat one wasn't quick enough. They had to cut the ad before the blood came out the back. Yeah. The fat one's like,

Wait for me. Oh, my God. That's why sometimes you're late into Picton because you had a couple of fat ones in the sounds. Oh, bless. And those pilot whales, the ones that keep refloating, they've obviously got a death wish. They'll just go straight into them.

It's natural selection, Megan. You're the horse. Follow me. I'll teach you how to refloat us, Project Jonah. Number four on the list of the top six features of the new inter-islander ferries that Piondo is making, then why don't we get a reversing camera? Oh, that'd be nice.

I reckon we need a reversing camera. I'm sure they'll have one. I'm sure that comes standard. Do you reckon? Oh, you'd hope so. Because there's a big back, you might back over a turtle or something. Yeah.

Number three on the list of the top six features of the new inter-islander ferries, solar panels. If it's got batteries, I reckon whack some solar panels on the roof Of the top six features Of the new Inter-Islander Ferries Solar panels If it's got batteries I reckon whack some Solar panels on the roof Yeah do it No harm no foul Yeah

And you can't beat Wellington on a good day So that means Wellington's solar power Could totally like Charge it all on a good day Some weeks you could be Waiting there for a few days

To get to Picton Just have that Petrol power ready to go. Number two on the list of the top six features of the new Inter-Islander Ferries, a fishing platform. So you can stand on the back and drop a line in. Yeah. Because, you know, lots of people dream to go fishing in the Marlborough

Sounds, but they don't get to. Yeah. Okay. Good idea. Or just put a trawl net on the back of it. Bingo. Catch the fat dolphins. Yeah.

Well, no, they'll be providing the burly because they'll be going through the propellers and getting giggity-giggity-giggity and then the fish will be feeding. Hey, it's the circle of life. Go see the Lion King. And number one on the list of the top six features of the new inter-islander fairy

are pie warmers that don't make the pies rubbery. Come on, it's 2021. How are pie warmers still rubbery-ing up pies so badly? Yeah. Is it a humidity issue? Too much, not enough? It's just the length of time they sit in there. God, they bloody get you.

I think I got a lolly cake on there and it was like, it was expensive. Oh, yeah. Well, no, it's the old classic, they've got you there. Jeez, they've got you. They've got you there. You can't. It's like food up the mountain when you go skiing. You're not going to drive all the way down to get a pie from the service station at the bottom of the hill, are you? You've got you there. You can't. It's like food up the mountain when you go skiing. You're not going to drive all the way down

and get a pie from the service station at the bottom of the hill, are you? You've got to eat while you're there. Yeah. That is today's top six. It's the show that everyone's talking about. One particular part everyone's talking about, Sex Life on Netflix.

Sex slash life. So it's about a woman who's married and she is pining after her ex and things get steamy. I just googled Sex Life Netflix and the autofillers. Episode 3.

That's what everybody is talking about. Episode 3. 20 minutes into the episode. Now guys, look at this. I've Googled it. Rotten Tomatoes gives this show 33%. Really?

IMDB's giving it 5.8 out of 10. This must be trashy and rubbish. Softcore stuff. I thought it was actually good, but... You haven't seen it, though? No. No, I've seen what we're talking about, but I haven't seen the show.

Okay. Bebe Easton is the woman who wrote the book called 44 Chapters About Four Men, and that's what this is based on. So is this another... This is a memoir. She was a stressed-out school psychologist when she self-published her debut memoir,

44 Chapters About Four Men, and within two weeks, it was in the Amazon Top 100 Best Sellers list. Is this like another Fifty Shades kind of deal? Yeah, I mean, I guess kind of. So in this scene, Billy's jealous husband follows her ex to his gym and they're in the shower. And it's a communal shower.

Wait. Okay. So, yeah. Okay. So, one of the dudes, he says, big massive diddle. So, one's the ex and one's the husband. So, who's got the massive diddle? The ex.

Because the husband goes to like check out what she's been daydreaming about. And he finds out. Wow. Yeah. I mean, he could be a show and not a grower. Nah, because here's my theory on why. When he turns, it has a, it moves. Yeah.

Executive intern Anya. There's definitely flashes. Executive intern Anya literally just loaded up this scene for the very first time. Oh, have you not seen it? Oh, sweetheart. I just watched it. And how's your report on that scene? It's a lot.

It's huge, right? Is that the biggest one you've ever seen? I was expecting it to be long, but it's so wiffy. Okay, okay. Wiffy? It's a different Okay, okay. Wiffy. It's a different name for that. Wiffy. It's called girthy.

It's called girthy. It's the word you're looking for. You know when you buy an artisan jar of jam? It's not like a big Griggs jar, but it's like. That marmalade with the blue lid. Exactly the brand I was thinking of. That's a good marmalade. And you know the worst part about it? The last time I bought that marmalade was for my That's a good marmalade The last time I bought that marmalade

Was for my nan because she loves marmalade So I put together a hamper for her for Christmas Because she doesn't buy herself nice things That's lovely marmalade That's what I was thinking of That penis is like The girth of that marmalade jam That I buy my nan

So the news story yesterday was Oh my god is this a stunt double? Is it a prosthetic? Is it like fake? Yeah. TikTok, Twitter, like everyone's talking about it. So the actor himself didn't say for sure. There was your first clue.

Because if that was you, you'd be like yeah okay look I'm embarrassed but yes it's me I don't think he was asked directly but he was talking about getting naked for the show and he said I was okay with it you read the script and you know what you're getting yourself into from the start so didn't really like address the thing. The pain itself.

But there is a showrunner who has said that they had a body double. So whilst... Where did they cut that scene though? Because I know they're in the background, they're not in focus, but that was a really good cut. Yeah.

Because you see him showering the actor. Yeah. And then it just starts going down and then it must cut. Yeah. So, yeah, they said, yeah, it's not a prosthetic. What's the casting call for that? We need a... So, Sarah Sahi, that stars in this show,

she was married to a guy called Steve Howie, and if you watch Shameless, he was Kev in the US version of Shameless. I was like, oh, okay, because I he was Kev in the US version of Shameless. I was like, oh, okay, because I thought she was seen in the coaster. Yes, she is now. They like fell for each other

while on set and she left her husband. In the show Sex Life. Yeah. Right. Wait, she left her husband? Yeah.

In real life for the guy but I can't work out. Wait, the ex or the... Well, Adam Demos is the guy. So is that, is Adam Demos the... Oh, God, she we be leaving for the showrunner next after that scene? Adam Deimos is the guy.

With the massive... Yeah. Well, no, it's not his, though. It's not his. It's not his. Well, I mean, that's if we're trusting the showrunner. What is a showrunner? Just a runner on the set?

Yeah. No, no, no, the showrunner's like... I recently learned this as well because I've always thought the showrunner just like did odd jobs. Like an intern. The most important person

on the show, they have creative control over everything. They're like, they can veto director decisions if they think it's going to affect the,

yeah, right, the overall direction of the show. Are we going to get any interviews for this show? Do you think? Should we put in a request for interviews?

No, just for the guy who owns that massive gong. Because as Fletch said, it's getting 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not getting reviewed. It's not getting the dialogue. It's not getting the reviews. I don't know what the Payton review is getting on Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb. Terrifying is what it's getting. Holy jamoli.

Good Lord. Yeah, well, episode three, 20 minutes in apparently. It's like a salami stick. Okay. Okay. I've just never seen one like it. Are you banning your wife

from watching this particular show? How do you get by? We all watch... Me personally. I do okay. Like, day to day is what I'm confused about. That thing's, where do you put it? Exactly.

Just like. I'm not lying. When I say that would hang out the bottom of your average pair of shorts. If you had like five inch running shorts. You couldn't do long shorts, could you? No. Goodness me. I don't need a bra.

So much to be hauling around. Like a pain in ball bra. Like a hammock. Has he got a bad back? I think they call them underwear. Can we get him a reduction? A study has looked into things that, well, actually, this is huge. 200,000 swipes from an array of different

apps, not just one dating app, but lots of different ones. So this is large and they've discovered one particular thing that makes people more likely to swipe right. Set being hot? Well, apart from that. If you have a Tesla, and it's very specific, a Model S Tesla, it has been dubbed the sexiest car, and it makes men 113% more likely to get a match. Okay, those are okay Teslas.

Because sometimes you'll see one, and you're just a bit like, I don't know that one. There's only like three models. The Model X, the Model 3. The doors that come up through the roof. The SUV one, that's the Model X.

Yeah, that's weird. Oh, yeah, that's not nice. I wouldn't want that because it rains all the time. You'd get out of the car and get wet. Yeah, I wouldn't want that. It's also very expensive. It's like when all this electric ute chat was going on and I looked up electric utes and they're all,

apart from the Ford, have done Ford F-150 electric ute, which looks cool because it looks like a Ford F-150, but the rest of them are so ugly. Yeah. Ugly. This is, yeah, this is just the standard sedan Tesla. Right. So if you found, say, for example,

I went to the mall or the supermarket and saw a Tesla in the car park, that would be the perfect chance for a dating app photo shoot. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they don't know. Don't put the license plate in there. Yeah, but they're going to find out. I mean, if you just want to hook up, sure.

Yeah, just get them in the door. So I said 113% more likely for guys. For women too. They had an overall match rate of 56%, but it went up to 62% if they had a Tesla in their profile. Wow.

Who knew burning no petrol would be so sexy on dating apps? Yeah. Is it just because they're really expensive and people are like, yeah. Yeah, like this person's loaded. They've got a Tesla. Is that why? Yeah. It would be unlike people to be superficial on dating apps, though.

Cars. Yeah. I find it hard to believe. Cars apparently overall are a pretty big thing. Aston Martin Porsche Land Rover And Audi Are also brands

That are up there Now where's This Suzuki Jimny On this list Where's the Suzuki Swift I love a Land Rover Where's the Toyota Corolla In this list

It's dream stuff But I'm just thinking Budgetarily Yeah It's going to be More of a Jimny Not on the list Yeah not on the list Not on the list. Yeah, not on the list.

Not on the list. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. A woman in Indonesia. She's actually an Indonesian pop star. Yuni Shara. Would I know any of her songs? No. I don't.

Maybe you do. I'm not sure on your choice of music. No. Yuni Shara is her name, and she was doing an interview, and this is where she was talking about kids watching adult content. Okay. It happens, and she's very much of the opinion that you shouldn't turn a blind eye to it.

And she says whether you know they're doing it or not, they probably are. I completely agree. You can't raise children in the modern world and just ignorance is bliss when it comes to anything online. Yeah. And especially like pornography stuff. Yeah. Are you like stoked you didn't have two boys?

Couldn't be. Could not be happier. Yeah. Oh, I've got a little boy. To Andrew, I'm like, you have to deal with all of that shenanigans. When he starts becoming a teenager. Yeah.

Yeah, good luck with that. United front. Yeah. Bit of mum, bit of dad. Everybody get involved. So this Indonesian woman said, when you catch your child watching adult content, she said, no matter how panicked you are,

you shouldn't be angry because in the end, the child's only going to do it in secret. So it's better to have the discussion. So she watches adult videos with her two sons. And this is

divided people. Wow. Would you just want to die and dig a hole, right? Yeah. So what is how old are her sons? Does she say how old they are? I haven't I can't find how old they are but In that photo what would they look like? 14? Yeah 14, 15

ish. Yeah so she said they're not fans of watching it with her and it doesn't sound like they do it all the time and sit down to watch let's go watch something on TV but if she knows they're watching it and she sees something that worries her, like an unrealistic expectation put upon women

that they don't have any other point to base it off. So they're like, oh, well, women must like that. And then they do not because this isn't real life. Because that's a problem, isn't it? That all these young teenage boys watch this and grow up and that's their... That's their education. Yeah. It's dangerous.

So she said through discussions, parents can provide factual sex education based on science and not based on these films. I agree with her. So she starts a video and she's like, all right, this is the plumber. He's coming around because the sink's linking. This is very unrealistic. Have you seen a plumber? They're not.

They're not that. Excuse me, what about former James, our show producer, is a plumber? Was a plumber. Is a plumber. Yeah, but none of them look like him either. I prefer not to sexualise James as well. I'm just saying he's a very good looking plumber.

Yes. If he came to my house. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm just saying you'd be, you know. Right. You just said all plumbers are not sexy. Basically is what you just said.

No, I said they don't look like that. Oh, right. Okay. They're sexy in their own way, but they don't look like that. Oh, good save. Sexy in their own way. What a compliment. Guy said that to me.

You are sexy in your own way. Then, you know, it's pretty sexy to be able to solve a problem. Should I have said, okay, a builder comes around? Well, they don't all look like that either. That's tradiest. Yeah. You're a tradiest. No, I'm not tradiest.

Apart from painters. Right, okay. Can you call a painter a tradie? I don't know. A lot of fumes. I don't think so. A lot of fumes. This is just tradie banter. This is good tradie banter. They love it. This is just good tradie banter. Tradies love the tradie? I don't know. A lot of fumes. I don't think so. A lot of fumes. This is just tradie banter.

This is good tradie banter. They love it. This is just good tradie banter. Tradies love the tradie banter. Yeah. Right. So, okay, so she and the internet's divided because they're like, well, this isn't. Yeah, a lot of people think it's really weird.

I mean, her kids find it a bit weird too, but she's the parent and she's trying to parent them. It's almost reverse psychology. Like, you wouldn't want to watch it in case mum came along and started talking. You threw it. Bingo. She's won. It's almost reverse psychology. Like you wouldn't want to watch it in case mum came along and started talking. You threw it. Bingo. She's gone.

She's actually nailed it, hasn't she? And it's the polar opposite of what I got because I don't remember having a chat at all. No, neither. I learnt at school from other people. We got a chat. We got the wooden penis and they rolled on the... Did you get to say that hard? On a condom? Was it in the class?

No, that was the... She was the She It was the person in charge of the The health nurse And I think it was a guy's mum from school So that was shame Oh, that Shouldn't be allowed there

Yeah, I know Oh my god If it was your son's school You'd be like I'll just tap out and Let my friend do this one Yeah You know, we

We had Two different talks We had the Changes to your body talk and the sex talk. Right. And my parents, because they said they grew up and their parents were all like, we don't talk about that.

We did just shh, shh, shh. That war generation. I can't imagine Ed and Christine sitting you down. Maybe that's why they're called the silent generation. Yeah. Because they wouldn't tell their children anything about it. Could you imagine Christine sitting down with some X-rated videos? Nah. In your teenage years?

She wasn't that far down the track. She was very like, if you've got any questions and feel free to ask us anything and please don't be embarrassed and it's best to know. That's good. I think it was awesome. I think it was progressive for her.

At the time. Not for her, but for her generation. At the time you're like, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh. Ever good, meh, meh, meh. But now you look back on it now and you're like, well, that was good.

Yeah. Well, we would love to know how your birds and bees chat went. Did you have a chat? Did it? Was it like this? A video sit down. Was it like this mum who loaded up the internet and said, all right, kids, we've got a few videos to watch.

Yeah. How did it go down? Was it awkward, embarrassing? Do you have a great story? We would like to hear how your birds and bees chat went because an Indonesian woman has said that she watches adult videos with her two sons and then discusses facts and... It's not like the headline wants you to think that she sits down

and watches it, but it's like... Yeah. If she's kind of monitoring their internet activity and if she sees something that she thinks needs explaining or rectifying or she needs to tell her children, that's a very unrealistic standard. Which is kind of good. Which is great. Yeah. But, I mean, at the same time, like, you don't need a post debrief with mum.

Not great for the sons. No. Melody, how did the birds and the bees chat go? Right, so this is a famous story in my family. I had just been to my primary

school disco and mum had planned to take me out for like a little girl's time afterwards. And I thought nothing of this, of course, being like 11. And so she took me out to the mall and she bought me like a whole bunch of lollies. And I was just like, yo, this is great. This is fantastic.

Best mum ever. Yeah. And I soon found out that on the way, the reason for all of this was because she was prepping me for the birds and the bees chat on the way home. She was buttering you up. Yeah, she was literally, yeah, buttering me up. And so, yeah, that was awkward, of course, for me.

And then I just remember getting home and walking into the lounge and all of my older siblings were sitting in there and they just kind of like looked at me and were like how'd that go? Oh my god! I just burst into tears I just burst into tears

so they all knew this was about to happen and they knew it was going down and they still bring it up to this day. Wow. Did they get the same thing, though, or not really? Yeah, they would have. Oh, they would have. They would have been like, oh, mum's taking old mate for this.

They knew because they'd been there. Yep, gotcha. They'd all been through it. Amazing. Melody, thanks for sharing. Wesley, how did the birds and the bees chat go? So my old man, he knew he was going to give me the chat, so he drank a whole box of piss and then proceeded to try and tell me about it.

No. It's like drunk history, but drunk sex ed. You know, the Comedy Central show. So Dad's so, like, worried and freaked out about it, he tries to get a bit of Dutch courage, but he goes, full Dutch. Yeah. Oh, no. Was he making much sense?

Not really. I mean, I was about 12 so I think it was a little bit too late and it was sort of going into some weird details.

Got a little sidetrack. We all get sidetracked when we're boozed and we're trying to tell a straight story. Oh my God. It consisted of a bunch of his old sexual stories.

Oh yeah. No one wants to know about your conquests. Amazing. Wesley, thanks for your call. Some text messages. My dad was too embarrassed to give me the chat about sex. I'm a female. He didn't quite know how to approach it,

but he wanted to give me a positive view on it. He didn't want to freak me out about it, so he gave me a copy of the book, The Joy of Sex. Okay. Well, why is that up there with the Kama Sutra? I don't know. I kind of remember seeing it in pamphlets of like, I'm not talking your Ashton Scholastic take home from school circle what books you want situation, but maybe like a pamphlet that fell out of the paper that had

a lot of texts, a lot of parents scaring the bejesus out of them. Yeah, really scaring them out. When I was 15, I'd been caught sneaking out a couple of times. One morning on the drive to school out of nowhere, my mum says stone-faced, are you using protection? I say, yes, that was all. That was it. I don't know what some people, and this is quite a common theme,

finding out about it at the same time that they had some certain questions about Christmas. Right. Like same night sort of stuff. Some said it was the same night I asked them questions about Christmas. And then they said, well, as soon as they were, you know. Two birds, one stone. Yeah, well, we'll sit you down and talk to you about this as well. No, not two birds, one stone.

I asked a question about Christmas. It was followed up with, what's a tampon? And then it all from there was just all on. I learned a lot that day. Quite a traumatic day. Yeah. Good lord. When I was a couple of weeks away from turning 16, my mum rented me the movie Knocked Up and told me

to watch it and not show anybody else and it was quite like, okay so there's a bit of comedy in Knocked Up but it's also a serious message, right? Yeah. Yeah. This was the book we got. I'd forgotten the name of it. Where Did I Come From?

What's Happening to Me and Where Did I Come From? Those were the two books. Right. Someone said, I never got the birds and the bees chat when the doctor told me I was pregnant. I suppose it was already too late. That's, yep. Yep. I was telling my kids about it all and they were disgusted

and I felt, like, embarrassed. So I immediately said, well, if you think it's gross, me and your dad doing it, imagine your grandparents doing it. That's not making it better. That's not making it better. It's only making it worse. But also, you know, the older you get, the more you're like, you know, I hope they are getting some.

Yeah. That's only because you hope you're getting some in the Ryman. Exactly. I'll take what I can get in the Ryman. But if the Ryman's a knock-in. Come a knock-in. No, if the Ryman's a knock-in. More the merrier at the Ryman.

I think it's the same. Okay, great. ZM's Fletchvorn and Megan. Play ZM. Fletchvorn and Megan's Audio Ninja Warrior. Audio Ninja Warrior is an audio obstacle course, but you've got to provide the audio. You're given a topic, a thing, a verb, a noun, an adjective,

Thank you. All right, next on the show, Vaughn's got a new friend. It's not a new friend. It's just you guys weren't familiar with this. We've just found out about this new friend. Nobody has. Carwen was telling us before the show, this is Carween, we're in the world as Carwen San Diego, at the social media desk.

What did we do yesterday? We did a TikTok. Oh, don't say it like that. Oh, my God. We did a TikTok because everybody's watching that show, Sex Slash Life, or Sex Back Slash life. I'm not sure which slash it is. And there's a scene in episode three where a giant doodle is revealed

and it shocks people. And we were shocked. And you said the tick, you gave us the social media stats. 23,000 views. Is that right? It's now climbed to 24,000 views. Whoa, watch out.

And I said, I wonder if my friend Belinda's seen that. And Jared knew who I was talking about because she's part of our Friday Night Fortnite crew. And I was set upon, like, how dare anybody in this group get a new friend? Belinda. I've never heard. I have never heard of Belinda ever. Who TF is Belinda? Yeah.

So then I said, well, Belinda's Friday night Belinda. Also Belinda isn't the name of someone that plays Fortnite. Well, Belinda might not even be a real name. Where is she from? Australia.

Unless she's putting on an Australian accent. Does your wife know about Belinda? Yeah, she thinks it's weird but she's not like threatened by Belinda because she thinks

we're all just nerds. Nerdburgers. Belinda's a nerdburger as well and she's in your Friday night Nerd burgers. Nerd burgers. Belinda's a nerd burger as well. She's in your Friday. I don't know if Belinda's a nerd burger. I think she's fine. You're dropping in with the boys all the time. No, not all the time.

Friday nights only. Only Friday nights. Right. Never any other time. How did you guys meet Belinda? So we were playing Fortnite one Friday night and we were three of us. And so squads of four So we just set it

To fill with a random person Yeah And then she Dropped She got matched with us Yeah And then she said Is it cool if

Like we'll all be friends Because like I don't always have Other people online To play with And we're like Yeah yeah of course Of course

So we're playing on Friday Belinda's good Is she good Very good She's Because she doesn't Like Some other members of our squad.

I'm not going to say names, but they rush into things. Jared. No, Jared's also a tactical fortnight player. He's not one of those people that hides until the end of the game. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't say that like it's a bad thing. That's a great idea. And then when other people die, just ferret around in their goodies

and pick up the guns they had. That's a great technique. Okay. But yes, on Friday nights, Belinda will pop up online and we'll be like, how's it going? Because Belinda said, Vaughn, I think I saw you on a TikTok.

Because that's the other thing. No one's friends outside, well, I'm friends with the other dudes, but nobody's been like, hey, let's be Facebook friends. Nothing. The rule is, it's just Friday nights. Have you heard her speak?

Yeah, she speaks. So she's a female from Australia. A primary school teacher from Australia. Oh, wow. And she saw you. Where did she see you? On a TikTok. Wait.

She said, I think I saw you on a TikTok. Because we talk, the other group of mates that are there, we talk about work and all sorts of things. It's a bit of a Friday night hangout. You don't know anything about, you're talking about your guy's life. We don't want to pry. We're all like dudes. We don't know how old she is or anything.

But we also don't want to pry. She's a primary school teacher. We're all pretty much married dudes. We don't need to be friends with Belinda on Facebook. You're not asking Belinda how her day is. No, no, no. Like how stuff and like over COVID we were like, how's, I think, is she in Queensland? Did you ask her what's on the curriculum at the moment?

Oh my God, you don't even know who she is. Did you ask her what's on the school curriculum at the moment? Oh, nah. We should ask her about her job. Well, we do, but then we don't want to pry. We don't want to feel like we're all creeping or anything like that. We should be like, where are you in Australia again? Are you all right with COVID?

You should ask her. Please ask her today if she's okay. She is. She's fine. We didn't play for so long, and then a couple of weeks ago on Friday night, and then she popped back up, and we were like, hey, it was like on chairs when they walked in the door.

Belinda. Belinda. Belinda. But again, that might have just been a fake name she gave to us on the first day. Oh, right.

Okay. Yeah. What a year. Chat's worse. But you don't need to. She feels a bit left out. Nah, she's fine. She's all good.

It's just weird that you got a new friend who didn't tell me. But it's like a specific Friday night friend. Only that very small window of the way. Whatever,'s like a specific Friday night friend. Only that very small window of the way. But you have

very small windows of friends. Pop in and out of your life. Saturday night friend. Sometimes a Saturday afternoon friend and that's

a different friend to the Saturday night friend. This is absolutely And then if they're a really good friend they might be a long weekend friend.

Wow. This is defamation. No one ever lasts. Wow. Yeah, this is defamation. No one ever lasts. No one ever lasts more than a week for you. This is defamation. Prove us wrong. ZDM's Fletch,

Ron and Megan. I've listened to all the clues and I've been trying every day to get through. So my guess is open, but instead of the O, it's 0, 7, 3, 6. Go for it, Brie.

Come on, guys. Are you ready, Alicia? I'm ready, I'm ready. Entering now. Oh, my God! It's open! You're taking the pass. You're taking the pass.

No, I'm not. I would not take the pass. No, you're taking the pass. Alicia, taking the pass. No, I'm not. I would not take the pass. No, you're taking the pass. Alicia, the box is open. You just won $20,000. Oh, my God. I can't even speak right now. I just think it's so much.

It changes my life so much. It means I can focus on a house deposit now rather than paying off my debt. And that was Alicia yesterday afternoon with Brian Clint winning $20,000. She joins us. Alicia, congratulations again. Thank you guys so much.

Honestly, I can't even. How much is left? Sorry? How much is left? Well, I haven't actually gotten the account yet, so come on, guys. No, but have you not spent it in your mind? Well, no. Well, I have, and it's all going on debt, which is really fun.

That's so responsible. I heard you say yesterday, yeah, that you'd be able to focus on a house deposit. Yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of what we've been hoping to do, but we're just like, you know, how do we get our debt down? How do we get our debt down? And it was just the universe's way of helping us.

Well, congratulations. And if you missed the word that you used, the code, it was open with a zero for the first O. Yes, it was. It was. And what was your thinking behind that? Because we thought we'd run through what all of the clues meant. What was your thinking for open?

Really? Because I had been playing, but I'd just been listening like every day, kind of just guessing along. And then all of a sudden it sunk in for me. I think it was on Wednesday morning after your guys' eight o'clock show. And then the box was like, what would our accountant say about this?

And they would say, open that box. And then it was just a switch for me, and I was like, oh, my God, it's open. Like we literally gave it away. Yeah. Yeah, you literally gave it away. So just to go through a couple of the clues, you can pour through the clues at ZM Online.

Well, the clue was a four-letter word. It was open. The clue did have a seven in it. The P was seven on the keypad. It is coming soon. This clue is in reference that it's something to do with Marvel Studios' Black Widow. And then, of course, the text bounce back sent you to ZM Online and the trailer for Marvel Studios' Black Widow was in there.

Open was in there. Referencing to a word in the code that had a digit in place of a letter, the zero instead of the O. And the eyes were Bruno Mars. There were Bruno Mars song that uses the word open. It's playing in the background at the moment, a remix of it. Wow. And you did it.

$20,000. Congratulations, Alicia. Thank you guys so much. I still can't believe it. I'm still in shock. Did you get much sleep last night? I honestly didn't. I keep waking up being like, oh my God, am I dreaming?

Is this a dream? Is this a dream? And what about friends and family? Has anyone been like, oh my God, am I dreaming? Is this a dream? Is this a dream? And what about friends and family? Has anyone been like, oh, give us some? No,

they've all been so supportive and been just like, oh my God, so happy for you guys. Oh, that's awesome. And it was really, really nice last night

because my mum was down from up north, so she got to celebrate with us. Oh, that's nice. Well, Alicia,

congratulations. It's all been thanks to Marvel Studios' Black Widow. It's in cinemas July 8th, which is less than a week away now and streaming on Disney+, with premiere access July 9th. Conditions apply. Play ZM's Flashphone and Megan.

Friday Flashback. Well, we take a turn every week picking an old song. It's got to be at least 10 years old. It's got to be a banger for Friday Flashback. This is from 2007. It was the lead single off an album. It hits differently now because this person performed it live at Video Music Awards. I feel like I've given it away.

And it was not good. But now we know the background and they probably shouldn't have been performing. This is a Britney song. I feel like it's fitting. Do you know, she was actually pregnant when she recorded this song. Huh.

In 2006. It was released 2007 and it's been sampled by so many people. It got to number 15 in New Zealand, but I feel like it's one of those songs that post has become a lot more iconic and especially the opening line. So I feel like it's fitting we have Britney Spears'

It's Friday flashback this week. It's Britney, bitch. It's so sad watching that performance again. Yeah. The MTV VMAs performance. When you know everything that's been going on behind the scenes. All right, Britney Spears, give me more.

It's your Friday flashback on ZM. For you I keep watching, I keep watching Feels like I'm proud of me Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme more

And the unstoppable danger You're going to have to remove me Because I ain't going nowhere It's Britney Spears. Give me more of your Friday flashback on ZM.

If you're dead at the end, you're going to have to remove me because I ain't going nowhere. Also, we just paid Jamie, essentially, playing that. Yeah, well, hopefully not for much longer. Feedback, agree that song, Vaughan Smith at the Texas Machine. Love some Brit. Good choice. Yep.

Still a banger and nostalgic too. This maybe makes up for Katy Perry Firework the other week. Yeah. Ouch. That was a banger And nostalgic too This maybe makes up For Katy Perry firework The other week Yeah Ouch That was what That was a banger Someone said crap

Crap then Crap now They're not a huge No not a fan Huge Britney fan So you'd say another Average one from Megan then It'll be up to us

To bring it back up To standard again Next week Us You don't really do much I'm constantly Doing a lot of heavy lifting with Friday Flashback.

Always pick some palatable thing from 10 years ago maybe. Slightly digestible. Not a huge risk taker. Play it safe. Yesterday, have you been paying attention to Back on Tally tonight by the way? It's moved to Friday nights. It changed from a, what was it?

It was a Monday night record, now it's a Thursday night record. And I would have a little break, and over the break I'd let my beard grow out a bit. Just to have options. And yesterday I went to get it trimmed. At the same place I get it trimmed often.

How much does a beard trim cost? 20 bucks. Which I reckon it trimmed often. Yep. How much does a beard trim cost? 20 bucks. Which I reckon it takes ages. Yeah, right. I reckon it's good. Yeah, because there's guys that come in for a haircut and it takes them less time and they generally are like $35 for a haircut. I reckon it would be so hard to get it like perfectly even.

Yeah. They keep going back. Under here's the hardest part. On the throat, getting that line right. That's very hard. So then imagine it's all go down there, chat, chat, chat, beards. Being told the importance of getting your beard trimmed at a barber because it's so hard to do it yourself.

I said, you don't even tell me. For years I tried to do it myself. It was never straight. And then I get home. But that's more your face isn't symmetrical. It's quite lopsided. Yeah, yeah. So that's the double challenge of it.

Yeah. Because you have to make it even, but also evening out the horrendously lopsided face. Because if you've seen asymmetrical celebrities, they've made celebrities look asymmetrical. Because no one has exactly the same half of the face. Isn't that to do with hotness, the more symmetrical

your face is, the hotter you are. Yeah. The whole symmetrical bod. Yeah. Yeah. And you've got a better look. When people say,

oh, who was it that was like, Ariana Grande? I can only be photographed from my left side. Because then we got a photo with her and she turned to that side.

But if you do that trick where you split it down the middle, you'll have a better looking half too. Yeah. So you're probably personal opinions. Probably a personal opinion. Yeah, I'm just looking at you.

It's hard. Okay, bitch. Probably like the back half of your head. The under here. Okay, lazy eye. Wow. So anyway. I'm only hitting you where I know it hurts.

So your bed trimmer's trying to make up for your lazy eye. So lazy eye, bung face. He didn't say any of these things. But then I get home and I look in the mirror and I'm like, what the F? And I literally saw what has happened and I had a massive chunk out of my bed so I had to just like trim it all down and you can still see here. What do you mean you got home and you realised?

Well, then at the end of the bed, it was all like, look at this part here. And he showed me under there and then this. And then we've gone a bit higher on your cheeks. Like distraction from this glaringly obvious. And you didn't notice. Until I got home and I was like, oh my God. And it was like this big chunk out of it. I've trimmed it right down to a number three.

But like it's still shorter in there. You paid for your beard to be trimmed and then got home. And listen to the 20-minute sermon about how important it is to get your beard trimmed in a barber because they can do a better job because they can move around the face and it's not all done in the mirror and stuff. And then you had to shave it anyway. Yeah, I had to do it anyway when I got home. I had to shave it all short.

I always wonder about hairdress, hairdressers because you always, you know, because once you cut or you accidentally put the shaver in, it's done, right? You can't go back. You can't go back. It's done. Yeah. Yeah. You cut one side too short and you've got to go the other side. That's why hairdressers always do, like, little, they just take little off the end.

Yeah. And you're always like, God, just do it big and do it all at once. But no, it's like trimming a hedge. If you're chasing the match and then you point out you've got like a really short fringe. Yeah. Or a short hedge. And no one's coming back to your business. It looks good short though. No, no,

that's what I shaved it short and people are like, oh, you look 10 years younger, you look so much better. I'm like, okay, you didn't necessarily say that. I think I said that this morning. We all did. We're a parade of people saying it. We were like, wow, you look so much better. I'm like, okay, I think you didn't necessarily say that. I think I said that this morning, didn't I? We all did. We're a parade of people saying it. We were like, wow, you do look way better shorter. Why don't you go shorter?

Yeah, I know. You can see your jawline. Because, look, here's the thing. I'm married. I don't need the honeys flocking. Oh, is it an anti-honeys measure? It's an anti-honeys measure. It's an anti-honeys.

Not that I'm tempted. How unfortunate you have to be batting them off you today. Not that I'm tempted, but I just feel for my wife, you know. Yeah, you don't want her to go through that. People are like, what a doof. Like they'll say it in front of her. Yeah, they would. And that's rude.

Walk right up to me and be like, damn. You just want to spare her feelings, I feel. Yeah, that's the kind of guy I am. So thoughtful, Vaughn. Very thoughtful. People are always saying that. And that's the other thing. I've got this, I'm thoughtful, I'm passionate, I'm understanding.

That's another attractive quality. So sometimes I've got to put up the wall of not being any of those things. Okay. And having a big beard just to keep everybody at a distance. Yeah. It's for my wife's sake. It's for her benefit. I'm sure she appreciates that.

Absolutely for her benefit. Absolutely. But I would like to know when you got a job done by a professional that you probably could have done yourself better. Like when did a professional do a worse job than you could have done? Yeah. And you're just like, oh, no, I've paid for that. Because the professional, and professionals make mistakes.

I've seen people come back from, you know, when there's going to be like a night out and people go and get their colours done at like a make-up store and they buy the store, but the thing go and get their colours done at like a make-up store and they buy the store but the thing is they get their face done as well. I've seen women crying leaving those and they go home

and they wash their face with a hot flannel and start again themselves. Yeah. It's like, oh, they didn't listen to anything. These are my colours. And they're like a clown. They're like a hairdresser.

And they're crying and the mascara's running and they're like, look at me. Look at me, tell me I'm pretty. Well, maybe you did go to get your hair coloured and you could have done a better job. Yeah. I guess a lot of it would be grooming and makeup and hair.

But any kind of professional job, when did a professional do a worse job than you could have done? We want to talk about when you've paid a professional to do something, but you probably could have done a better job yourself. Some great stories coming through. Vaughn, you had the clippers accidentally run through your beard yesterday at a beard trim. Yeah, I had a big short spot that I'm not sure how the dude thought I wasn't going to notice at some stage.

Didn't notice then and there, but noticed as soon as I got home. So I just had to give myself an overall number three. Jane, when did a professional do a worse job than you could have done? Oh yeah, it was also a clipper incident. Oh, okay. Not with me though. So I've got this really

cute, fluffy little Maltese Shih Tzu dog. And love a fluffy dog and I took her to the groomers when I sort of first got her because I thought, well, I better get it done professionally. And went in and said, I have a fluffy dog for a reason. Like, I don't want one of those real short pups. And came back to pick her up.

Didn't actually recognize that it was my dog. She'd absolutely scalped her and just about taken all the hair off her face and she was going, doesn't she look so much better? I've just tidied her up a bit and she looks just so much cleaner and tidier. And you're like, no, I want a fluffy dog. Yeah, and I didn't, yeah, I wasn't actually sure that it was my dog at all. She looked about 80, and it was just, and it took so long to grow back. So I do her grooming now.

I just stick her on the footstool in front of the telly and, yeah. Give her a little light trim. And just get the clippers out like mum used to do when you were a kid. Yeah, mum cut. You get a home haircut. Yeah, mum wasn't concentrated. She'd be watching Short and Street. You'd end up with, like, some bowl cut situation.

James, when did a professional do a worse job than you could have done? Well, I'd never been to the barber before, and I kind of listened to some friends' advice about maybe going and getting a trim. Yeah. My beard was about six inches long, and the lady went and put a number two comb on and locked four inches off the whole thing.

And one hit, and I just stood there with half a beard looking at the mirror in shock. Now, was that a mistake on her behalf? Is that what she thought you wanted? Where did it go wrong? Well, I asked her just to, like, trim the little whiskers and do the lines. And it was real nice. Well, I asked her just to, like, trim the little whiskers and do the lines. And I... It was real nice. They gave me a beer because it was after work.

And I sat there drinking my beer. And then suddenly I saw her put the comb on and just go, what? No, she wasn't trying to blend it in on the sides. She actually... Give me a free fade. The comb right on the chin cheek part. Oh, I don't know. It was...

And I've never been back again. Right. And did you end up having... Did you grow your beard back out? I have. I have. And I've never been back again. Right. And did you grow your beard back out? I have. I have. And I've invested in a trimmer. And I'm working on it myself. You're not trusting the professionals ever again, are you?

No, no. What do guys do? Because you sit there and you go, yeah, yeah, I love it. And then you walk out and you're like. Did you cry afterwards, James? I think I boycotted the barter for a while. Yeah. But no crying.

But did you say anything to the lady at the time? Did you say, oh, no, that's way shorter than I wanted it? Or? No, no. I could have felt just the best thing. So many people just sit there. I know. I love it.

James, thanks. You called Becca. When did a professional do a worse job than you could have done? I went to go get my first full wax downstairs. Oh, God. Okay. Which was quite a grow-out process anyway. And when I left, I looked like a patchy Chewbacca,

and I had to go home and get my husband to shave me properly and pull out all the wax that they'd left behind. Oh my god! What? What? That's again one of those moments where you have to be like, hey. It's not like you can get them to stand there and keep looking at it and be like, can you please

fix it? You just have to put your pants on and leave. Oh, Becca. That would put you off, eh? That would put you off again. Becca, thanks for your call. Some text messages. Professional carpet and couch cleaner.

Oh, okay. They rushed the job. It was absolutely terrible. The next day I hired a rug doctor and I did it myself and so much more stuff came out of the carpet because I did it slowly because I watched them do it and I was like, they're going way too fast and it didn't clean the carpet very well. It's a good ad for the rug doctor. I see people wheeling those away at the supermarket.

I'm like, what have you been doing to your carpet? We had a plumber who mixed up the hot and cold tap connection. Firstly, it's a 50-50 chance. Secondly, you're a plumber. Yeah. You should know how that works.

A hairdresser told me they'd really like to cut my hair into different styles. I think it would suit me better. I was so intimidated sitting on their chair. I said, okay, it looked terrible. They said I still had to pay, so I grabbed their straightener and their scissors and sat in front of the mirror cutting my own hair

so it looked proper and how I wanted it. No, do that at home. So I had home landscaping done on my section He was using a roller and compacting the ground And I said, oh, that ground's a little bit prone to getting wet I don't know if that's a great idea Compacted the ground so the water didn't run away So the water just sat

Oh, okay Yeah, but even somebody said Even I knew that as a non-professional That that would be Well, I didn't know that No, neither Okay, neither, okay That would be the situation

Right I, hold on, just let me pre-read Because it's about a vagina that that would be. Well, I didn't know that. No, neither. Okay, neither. It would be the situation. Right. I, hold on, just let me pre-read because it's about a vagina. It's always important to pre-read the text about the Vs. I'm a beauty therapist and I went to another beauty therapist to get a downstairs wax and the lady was doing it in a long-sleeved woolen cardigan and she got stuck to my vagina. What, like the arm? So even when it was done and dusted, I got home,

there was still little bits of pink wool. Pink wool down there. Did they get a discount? When I was 12, I got my head shaved by a hairdresser. It was about a number four, but the comb fell off three different times, leading me with three different bald patches on my head. And they still charge my mum full price. See, I think at that stage, maybe they hated your mum.

They didn't want you. Yeah, well, teach this woman. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day Today's fact of the day is about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Okay Because it's 50 years since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the movie was released So they've kind of reunited the living cast

And they're doing a... Let's talk about their time on the... They're doing a remake or a prequel with Timothy Chamolay, who's playing a young Willy Wonka. Yeah. So it was 1971 when this came out. And today's fact of the day

regards that famous Chocolate River. Oh, yeah. The Chocolate River right at the start when the children enter the factory. Because Michael Bolner, who played Augustus Glump, is an accountant now. What? A German accountant.

And he said that the movie wasn't that big in Germany. So he went home to Germany because he was actually German. Yeah. Because he's got a German accent in the movie. I thought maybe it was just a kid putting it on. But he was actually German. And he said like the occasional person recognized him, but really he kind of went on with life, never acted again.

And just kind of like lived a pretty normal life. Okay. Compared to some of the other kids that were like American or British, the movie was so massive that they became super well known and got pointed out everywhere. But the river that he falls into before getting sucked up the pipe,

people, they talked about the river and he said it wasn't actually chocolate, which, duh. Obviously. But he said it was actually just made up of a mix of, like, dirty, muddy water and colouring from different chemicals that were poured in to give it a chocolatey appearance.

And apparently the day before filming, it looked more chocolatey than when they actually started filming. Oh, okay. Now, the whole thing was only 10 centimetres deep. Oh, wow. Apart from one square metre. And when he falls into the river, you'll remember, you can't see. It's muddy.

It's supposed to look like chocolate. So absolutely no transparency. He can't see through. They said, oh, yeah, just fall straight in front of you. That's where the hole is. But don't fall to either side or you're just going to smash your face straight into the bottom of the river. Yeah. So he knew that he had a one square

metre gap to fall through. Oh, wow. And he said it was the scariest thing about the entire situation. Wow. That would not fly these days. Nah. Also, like, jump in this muddy water with heaps of chemicals in it. You little fatty. So we've got you because you look like a greedy little fatty.

Yeah. Good Lord. But he made it. Yeah, he made it through the hole in the floor. And if you actually go back and watch it, if you pause it on the time where he's about to fall in, you can see the... Fear in his eyes.

No, the slightly darker square. Oh, really? But he said he couldn't see that at the time because of the lighting on the light reflecting off the river. He couldn't see it. But it's a 10 centimetre chocolate river. 10 centimetre chocolate river. So today's fact of the day is in the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie, the

chocolate river was not chocolate. It was only 10 centimetres deep and Augustus Glump had to fit right through a hole to avoid smashing himself in the face. Fact of the day! Day, day, day, day. ZDM's Fletch, Ronan Megan. We're joined in studio by all-black Ethan Blackadder and Māori all-black's Captain Ash Dixon.

Good morning. How you doing, Sam? Good. People, how are you? Good, good, good. Are you guys excited about this weekend? Absolutely, yeah. Really excited.

It's going to be awesome. These are four teams, the Māori All Blacks, the All Blacks, Samoa and Tonga. Everybody's got sort of a pre-game ritual. We've got the haka for our two teams, and Samoa and Tonga, everybody's got sort of a pre-game ritual. We've got the haka for our two teams, and Samoa and Tonga certainly bring it as well. Does that, like, get it pumping before the game? Yeah, it's definitely a cultural experience this weekend, isn't it?

For sure. Hopefully the crowd is a bit of a mix of everyone there and can actually bring out a good influence. So it should be pretty cool, man. Like, obviously the hakas will be going on, and we've got Holly Smith at halftime who's going to get her pipes going too, so it should be pretty good.

Work it. And Mount Sissoulas, you guys played some more last week in a Wellington. No crowd. Yeah, it was pretty bizarre, to be honest, especially, you know, you're warming up and that southerly was roaring across and no one's there and you're kind of like,

there's no music going. It was a bit kind of, oh. Yeah. But then once you kick into it, it was pretty good. Yeah, does it change the way you play?

Because I mean, like when there's a crowd there, obviously you've got to, to a point, ignore them because you're concentrating on what you're doing, but when they're not there,

does it affect the way you play? Yes, it's more the buzz of the crowd, eh, that you get. You get the real energy from them and you know when they're real vocal and with you, so to speak, whether they're booing or wanting to do things, it

actually gets you up and it feels like at times a bit of a real intense training run kind of thing, you know, because they can hear your calls, we can hear them and you can't really have your little secret little meetings or whatever to try and do something. So it's a bit different, eh? None of that white noise in the background. Nah, nah. So they need to, I don't know, probably need a live band going on somewhere.

Maybe some to sound it, because they did do that with the live matches in the UK. And the NRL did it last season during 2020 when COVID was happening. They were like live mixing crowd sounds at the same time for the people watching at home, which was really weird, but like you need it. They did posters of people sitting in the seats or something. Yeah, cutouts.

Cutouts. And, Ethan, this is the first time the All Blacks have played at Mount Smart. Does that, like, feel cool to be, like, the All Blacks have got this insanely long, you know, existence in New Zealand, kind of done everything, but never played at Mount Smart? Yeah, no, it is pretty cool, actually. A few of the boys went there on Wednesday and we trained there yesterday and it's a pretty good track.

So, yeah, to play there for the first times, yeah, it's unreal. Hopefully the Warriors' luck rubs off on you. Is there one? Oh, no, that's bad. Okay, yeah. You don't want that luck. Give it a good rub down with some antibacterial wipes

when you get there. They're like, I'm not making that joke. Do you know it used to be a quarry? Mount Smart? It was a mountain. Like literally where the field is was the centre of the volcanic cone. And they quarried it out so much and then they just kind of like got the use out of it and they just pushed the sides in them like, what should we do with that? And they're like, well, it's flat now.

You might as well chuck some grass on it. Fun fact, you can tell the lads. The changing rooms. You are literally playing on top of a volcano. You are when you think

about playing on top of a volcanic event. Now I don't want to freak anybody out but that's exciting. Imagine if there's an eruption of iron on it. They're like man these

halftime special effects fireworks are amazing. Oh no we're in trouble. We're in trouble. So we've got five double passes to give away to the game that's happening tomorrow. Well, the doubleheader, really.

It starts at 4.30. The Maori All Blacks take on Samoa, and then the All Blacks take on Tonga. And that's at 7.05, that game. Yeah. Yeah. The All Blacks worried about injuries because the Tongan dudes are, like, All Blacks are big.

The Tongan rugby team are units. Yeah, there's some big lads in that team, I've heard. Are you thinking about, like, tomorrow being like, nah, I can't, got a sore. Got a sore knee, I can't do it today. I just think, like, have you ever held the ball and seen someone coming towards you and just, like,

wanted to give it to them? Just be like, oh no, I'm not prepared. I don't think you make the Allblades if you do that. I can't go through his mind. Resisting throwing, because then you throw them the ball and then you can tackle them. We don't know how to run.

Yeah, yeah. And then be like, don't touch me! Don't touch me. Oh, best of luck tomorrow night, guys. Thanks so much for coming in. Thank you. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. Now, Lorde, tickets go on sale for her shows.

All the general tickets have been some pre-sales, which went pretty quickly. But general tickets Monday at lunchtime for her shows around the country. And there is a warning. Because we're going to go to the New Plymouth. We're going to go to the Bowl of Brooklands. Yep.

Great. And we're going to climb the mountain. It's just such a brilliant venue, that. That's her shows on going to go to the Bowl of Brooklands. And we're going to climb the mountain. It's just such a brilliant venue. That shows on a Friday night at the Bowl. So there is a warning though. Lord fans are being cautioned not to purchase bogus $1,300

VIP tickets from our old mates at Scammy Via Gogo. I just googled Lord tickets. That website comes up first. That's why people get caught up. I did say scammy via go-go. There have been so many.

A commission have taken them to court. There have been multiple problems. It is possible to buy legitimate tickets from there. Just don't do it. It's such a risk. And there is no such thing as a $1,300 VIP ticket for the Havelock North gig. And some of them have been popping up on Viagogo. The promoter has just said, Brent Eccles is the promoter.

He said, it's just a scam. So if you bought those tickets, are you going to get tickets and they're just not VIP? I don't know, but you're going to turn up expecting VIP treatment or tickets. And either they might not work. There is no VIP. They might not exist or there is... And they've actually said there is no VIP component of any of Lorde's upcoming shows. I've seen the seating plans for the Bowl of Brooklands.

It's like there's really up close and there's like a little bit up close and then there's general. Yeah. And they kind of... It depends on the venue. But yeah, there are no VIP tickets. So again, via GoGo, they use the Google money, don't they?

To be the first in the search. Yeah, they buy the search terms, don't they? And so they pop up first. His friend of the show, James, he, remember, he got scammed with pink tickets. He's like, he's a mum. He's a mum in a 25-year-old's body. Had a couple of Chardonnays. No, he loves a Chardonnay and a pink concert.

Yeah. And he turned up and they wouldn't work. And this was like years ago. And a Suzuki Swift. And he drives a Suzuki Swift. Yeah, he's basically a mum in a 25-year-old's body. He really is. Yeah, he is.

Yeah. But he's not ashamed about that. He embraces it. Well, as well he should. Look out for your mums and the Jameses in your life. Yeah. ZM's Fleshborn and Megan.
