ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thank you, Anya. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. And Tananya rocking a new part in her hairdo. Oh, guys, look. New week, new me. You might have heard that in her voice. It's an extra confidence. I live in an apartment now, guys. I've got to be more chic. Right. Is it a secret park? Normally it's on the

right side, three quarters over. But that's the old me. That's suburban me. And now I'm in the middle. I'm in the middle of the city. You've got the middle part, crew. It's good to be here. Are you bored in your apartment already? It's a lot of extra time when you don't have to commute.

Hitler liked a hair part, didn't he? Famously. Okay! But he was like right on the side. Yeah. Right on the side. People with hair like hair parts. It's an interesting thing, but could you not just come? Oh no, you couldn't come

forward? I wouldn't be able to see. Okay, so this is something you have to think about. Yeah. It was a conscious decision. Yeah. What about if you just went out like a high pony like Megan's? Obviously no part. I do that, yeah. Every now and then. Any other

suggestions? No, I'm just thinking. Thinking out loud. Low pony, because you might have to put a helmet on later. Yeah, I could rock that. That's something I know from my daughters, is if you're putting their helmet on, you've got to be like, we're going to have to switch to a low pony.

Or you have a high bun and then you've got to put a helmet on. Yeah, and you're like, tonk, tonk, tonk. And then you can leave the high bun in and rock the longer straps, but you look a bit. And the helmet's not going to do anything when you pull up your body. Yeah, the helmet's just like jiggling on top of your head. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM.

Alright, you lot. Listen up. It's Storytime. Storytime. Three news headlines. Quirky, odd, unusual news stories. Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three stories. Headlines. Man's phone won't stop ringing is headline one.

Farmer takes rear stand on TV, headline two. And headline three, bats on a plane. Bats on a plane. So that's just as simple. There's been some bats have been on a plane. They may have been in the undercarriage of the plane. Incorrect.

And they were in the cabin. In the actual passenger cabin. Yes. Farmer takes rear stand. Rear as in? Butt. No. Rear as in?

Are you kidding me? I've got to subscribe to this bloody story. Well, why could I look at it? I've probably reached my free... My free story limits on the Daily Telegraph. I'll be able to pull this story up if you want it. Well, yeah, you're just going to find it somewhere else, are you? Yeah.

What is the other story? What was the other headline? Oh, yeah, I've found it. I've found it. That'll teach you. Journalist trying to make some money. So I found the farmer story. Oh, you did?

Is it good? Yeah, it's pretty good. Okay. What was the first one? You just prepared it for me. Man's phone won't stop ringing. But I know this story now, so now I want the man's phone won't stop ringing.

Megan, he was cyberbullied, this farmer. He was cyberbullied online about having a rare Lion King Ooshie. You know the little ones we talked about? And there's only a hundred, bear in mind there's a hundred of those in the whole of Australia. So people are off selling these for thousands. He cut it up on live television because everyone has been mean to him. And do you know what? He wanted water for his farm. Him and his wife wanted some

water. That's why they were trying to raise some money. Yeah. And everyone was like, just give it to me! And he said it was just absolutely feral and disgusting. And so he cut it up. Oh, I'm kind of proud of him. Yeah. Live on TV. With some scissors. I'm kind of proud of him. Yeah. Live on TV.

With some scissors. I'm sure that's not going to stop the trolling though, is it? He's going to get even worse now. Imagine if that was the sacrifice that the god of hydration wanted. And from now on he shall be inundated with plentiful bounty. Hopefully he gets given some water by someone. Well, you'd hope so, yeah. Okay, so the other one.

Okay, story one. We go now to India, where a man has been mistaken for a Bollywood sex symbol. Hello. Hello. A man called Puneet, he's 26. He was just at home one day when his phone started ringing. Few calls.

He's like, this is weird. At first thought this was a prank. People asking him if he was the famous Bollywood actress. Actress or actor? Actress. Actress. Yes. Now this famous Bollywood actress in a movie,

it was like a romantic comedy. A rom-com. A rom-com. And it featured one of Bollywood's most popular actresses and a former American porn star, Sunny Leone. I have no idea who that is. Anyway, a hilarious movie. And which, in the movie, Sunny Leone's character reads out a mobile number which actually belongs to this poor guy.

And it's a real number. Nobody checked it in filming. Because, you know, in America, there'll be like... 555. Something, something, 555. Yeah, there's no area code that's 555. Right. So that's why all movies use 555.

But then sometimes you'll see them do a 310. 310. Like a California area code. Yeah, but then 555 will be the next number. Yeah, yeah. True, true. So he started getting calls. He's like, well, this must be the friends pranking me.

And then it was relentless. Hundreds and hundreds of calls from enthusiastic fans trying to get in contact with the Bollywood sex symbol. Oh. That would be, yeah, that would be annoying. But at least everyone's going to be pleasant when they call out. Until they find out you're not the sex symbol. Yeah, okay. Well, yeah, but then can you imagine, like,

even like your WhatsApp, people would be sending photos, wouldn't they? Or pics. Oh, yeah. Think about that too. Yeah. And they're not going to be pics that he wants. So I found it interesting

when you mentioned the Sonny Leone that there would be a former porn star that could reintegrate into Bollywood because Bollywood you're not even allowed

a kiss on the mouth. Very conservative. They're super conservative. So Sonny Leone was the name that this person did pornographic material under. But now 38 years old, so in other words, anciently dead to the porn industry, is currently active in the Indian film industry.

Oh, okay. She's got an American citizenship because she was Canadian born. Right. But her parents were Indian Americans. Actress modelling, Then got into adult content and now reintegrated into standard Bollywood fare. Fantastic. That's good. Reintegration.

You took it like porn stars are kind of like... Tainted. No, like animals that have been wounded in the wild and have had to be rehabilitated. Or like a greyhound. It's finished with its racing days, so it just likes to run around the yard now. Now she's living with a family in the suburbs. Yeah, I just would have thought,

well, given how conservative Bollywood is, that it wouldn't have happened. But it has. That's good. And they read out actual people's phone numbers. Yeah, that's a bit of a mistake. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. The Lion King, the remake of the 1994 animated classic,

which is far more realistic and scowey, there's been chat about adult-only sessions for it. A guy was in the news a few weeks back saying that you shouldn't take your kids to the Lion King if it's on after five because That's when adults are going. Yeah, and they should shut up

and not talk because I'm trying to enjoy the movie. I like that guy. I saw him on the news and I was like, I like this guy. But then it's a kids movie. Well, it's a family movie. You can't expect to not take your family. Kids should be in bed. At five o'clock. Yeah, you must put your kids to bed at five, right?

I'll have us four some days. Good. Kids, go to bed. In bed. Then just go to bed. I don't want to see you again. So they, over the weekend, held a couple of R18 screenings.

Not R16. Not like R13 yeah right which I would have thought anybody over 13 could have sat and watched it quietly

it's not that you're taking 6 year olds or 5 year olds and they're going to talk or ask heaps of questions I mean if you're 13 surely you can go

yeah but yeah they had a couple of R18 screenings to appease I'd love to know how packed it was to people like Fletch I'd love to know how packed it was. To people like Fletch. I'd love to know how packed it was.

Like, did six people go? Because... I'm not sure. Well, when I saw it, it was adults only, I think. The preview, there was only adults there because it was... Late. Late. Right.

But some people would have taken their kids. Yeah, but do you think that this scene, do you think that this scene that August got very upset with? Oh, yeah. Do you think that that is what is annoying people? Because kids would get upset. No, kids just ask heaps of questions when you're watching a movie. Right.

Like heaps of questions. Oh, God, that must be annoying. Like everything. And it is really scary, that one. Oh, yeah, with the hyenas. Yeah, they're much more scary in the original. This was even in the 2000s. There was the Hyena Trust in Africa were like trying to sue Disney

and being like, you've actually made our, you've set our work back 50 years. Like hyenas aren't evil. They're just hyenas. Like this is what they do. They scavenge. They hunt like lions hunt as well, but they're prettier because they've got nicer hair. Is that the situation?

And I thought, I wonder if in the Lion King remake, there'll be a gentler approach or a more neutral approach to the hyenas. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope, they're scarier than ever. In fact, they were terrifyingly real. Yeah. So I don't imagine that the same hyena trust

are that stoked on it. On the remake, they probably wouldn't want to go to an adults-only screening of it, even if there were no children there to be scared of the hyenas. So they can watch it and be like, misrepresented again. This is not on.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We look after animals on the show. We're like big fans of animals. I like catching a lot of them. Yeah. I'll eat a large majority of them. You'll eat some of them as well. This goes beyond animal rights activism.

This is called anti-speciesists. Anti-speciesists. So these are people who oppose discrimination against any species, usually animals. So a guy who is a French anti-speciesist has said that we should not kill mosquitoes when they bite us. We should allow them to bite us and consider it a blood donation.

So they have... Right. Well, he has said, one can consider that a blood donation from time to time to an insect who's only trying to nourish her children is not a drama. What about malaria? So, yeah, this is the problem. Yeah, or Zika.

Yeah, they've said, look, this is a, even people who consider themselves anti-species have said, this is a step too far, it's an unhelpful distraction, and it's not a great idea for people in countries like Africa where mosquitoes carry diseases. Do not let them bite you. Please swat them away and use... Get some DEET on you.

DEET, yeah. Some tropical strength DEET. Yeah, oh, 80%. Good stuff. Oh, yeah. But he's saying, look, the female mosquito has no choice but to risk her life for her babies. Oh, God, calm down. So please don't swat them.

Let her suck your blood. I couldn't let that, like, even with a sand fly or a mozzie, you're just like, eh. Yeah. But it's just, it hurts. So the natural reaction is to give it, like, you know, slap it. But, or you do that thing. Does that still work where you squeeze your hand?

Oh no, does that? Then you go, then you go, when you see one in, like with its needle in, and it like, isn't that enough to close the pores?

It gets stuck. Oh really? It gets the beak stuck and then you give it the old slapperoo. I think you're supposed to squeeze it so all the blood

like rushes up into it and it's like, oh. Oh, and you've like filled up the mosquito. Yeah. Oh really? Like when you've got a drink bottle you've like filled up the mosquito. Yeah. Oh, really? Like when you've got a drink bottle in your mouth

and someone accelerates. And it goes... Like, whoa! It's brilliant. I wish I could see the look on its face. It's just too small. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.

Hello there. Auckland Harbour, the ports of Auckland, are getting an electric tugboat. This will be in 2021. It should be in service. I saw a photo of it and then I looked closer and it was like

an artist's rendition of what it will look like. That's really... I know, it made me sad because I was like, it's actually quite cute and then I realised that it's a digital marker.

Right, okay. Well, it'll look just like that. Well done, artist, for fooling me. Making me feel like a fool. So 2021, it will be in Hoonan around the ports of Auckland. Oh, here's another artist impression, and it looks like something out of a video game here because it's just on a black background.

That's pretty fancy. It's pretty cute. I think it's really cute. It's an e-tug. Yep. E-tug. It's an e-tug. Like an e-bike.

It's also what your granddad calls. What, when you take the laptop into the spare room? Yeah, yeah, go online for one. Not like the old pen and paper tug, which is where you drew the dirty pictures yourself. Ross is shaking. Ross Moss is shaking his head. Oh, what are you here for?

To make sure you don't say things like that. The old e-tug will be touching down in a study in a harbour near you. Apparently it'll save around $12 million in operating costs. Oh, that's good. Vaughan and I have been in the... E-tug. No, in the P-tug. Gave each other a E-tug.

The petrol tug. Yeah, we went in a petrol... They're pretty amazing. Diesel tug. Yeah, I think they're diesel. They can turn on like a pinhead. Oh, it's amazing. Zero turn.

You see this little boat pulling a big giant one. It's just kind of giving it a guide, right? Yeah. Giving it a tug. That's its name. Yeah. Tug. a guide, right? Yeah. Giving it a tug. That's its name. Yeah. Tug. But sometimes they push.

Yeah. So it can tug or it can push. Right. And that'll be the same with the electric tugboat. But it's not without its problems. The top six problems with a fully electric tugboat. Number six. You'll open it on Christmas and it won't have its batteries.

And nowhere will be open to get new batteries. Nowhere will be open to get batteries because it's Christmas, so you'll have to wait till, like, Boxing Day. Unless Dad's got some in the garage. Yeah, or the service station, but they're real expensive. Very expensive. Number five on the list of the top six problems with the electric tugboat. If you leave the remote control on, it flattens the batteries.

I don't even know how that works. And sometimes not all remote controls for an e-tug have the little light to say, hey, I've been left on. Yeah. And the switch is always on the bottom. So you don't even know. And then you go to use it, flat batteries in the remote, so it won't be going anywhere.

Number four on the list of the top six problems with the electric tugboat, me and mum won't buy the expensive rechargeable batteries, so the batteries keep running out real quick. She just buys like a pack of 80 of those really cheap ones that aren't designed for high-drain devices. Yeah, mum doesn't get it. Mum. Mum.

We'll buy our own batteries then, bloody hell. Oh, me. Number three on the list of the top six problems with the electric tugboat. The seal that keeps the water out of the batteries has to be lined up perfectly or you'll get a leak and it will short out the batteries. This is true. Because there's some water here. That's based primarily on an electric boat that the kids used to have in the bath.

Oh, really? Yeah. I never had battery-powered bath toys growing up. No, neither. But these ones, when you replace the battery, you had to get the seal perfectly lined up or just a little bit of water would get in there and just carnage. Right. Absolute carnage. What kind of toys did they have for the bath? They had a boat.

It was really cool. It was like a little tugboat. I'm imagining what this was designed on. Yeah. And you push the dude the dude pilot down and for as long as he was clucked down it would go and hoon around. And then when he'd go click and cluck up

sort of a timer system. Right. It would stop hooning around the bath. It's good that he got a break. Union sanctioned. Union sanctioned break. Yeah 100%. Number two on the list of the top six problems with an electric tugboat. When you lose your charger cable, it'll be bloody near impossible to find another one. You'll go everywhere.

You'll go to JCAR. Yeah. And you think you've found one that fits, but then it's the wrong voltage and you'll just fry your tug. You don't want to fry your tug. No, you don't. Number one on the list of the top six problems with the electric tugboat. It runs on the same batteries as the electric trains and the TV remote, so they'll always just be getting hijacked. Yeah.

Hijacked because Dad wants to watch the telly and the buttons won't work because the volume's gone down or something. Yeah. That is today's top six. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We are 21 days, if my maths is right, away from the start of New Zealand Fashion Week. Oh, my God. We've got to get our act together. days, if my maths is right, away from the start of New Zealand Fashion Week. Oh my

God! Are you kidding? We've got to get our act together. No, this is not. I'm not even joking. I'm thinking House of Cotton this year. This is what I'm thinking. Fully compostable. Yes. Lettuce leaves. Harakeke flakes. Like everything has to

be fully compostable. No. You can literally take your outfit off at the end of the night and drop it straight in the compost bin. Or eat it. You think this is so hilarious, but last year I got invited to one show. One show. Wasn't it a good show?

Well, no, I don't think I went in the end because... You did. You wore your outfit. Oh, yeah. No, but that was... Your outfit looked great in the end, didn't it? Only because I... You did. You wore your outfit. Oh yeah, no but that was... Your outfit looked great in the internet. Only because you made me wear stuff that I got from an op

shop. I could only get stuff from them. No, it was lost property. It was lost property. And so I ended up just altering it to make it better. But we did that under time pressure and even then I felt very self-conscious. We don't need to do it again. But we did that under time pressure and even then I felt very self-conscious. We don't need to do it again.

Like, I'm serious when I say we don't need to do it again. I don't have enough warning. I'm definitely not wearing vegetables. Banana leaves. No. Brilliant. Good idea. No, Vaughan. Very Moana. If I could reach the ground right now, I'd stomp it. It's not happening. So anyway, it's 21 days

away. That's not what we're talking about this morning. Wool. The casting call. Raw wool. No, that'd be so itchy. Lanolin. Lanolin. The casting call for New Zealand Fashion Week models has happened.

Oh my God, I missed that again as well. It's about to happen. So the, can you shush for a second? They are wanting it to be much more diverse this year. They are doing a call for all ages, all sizes and diversity. Oh, it's about time we got a call up. So they're looking for non-straight size models, which I didn't know,

but that's where the top and bottom clothes that are worn are not the same size. So if you're a straight size model, you just go straight down. You just go straight down you just go straight down it means that you'd be like a 10 on the top and a 10 on the bottom

right you know like the two sizes match medium on the top medium on the bottom but yeah so they want to increase the diversity well I must be straight

because that's I'm medium medium I like how their idea of diversity is you don't have to be a medium on top and a medium on bottom guys stay with us everyone's like

no to include that's just freaks to include You don't have to be a medium on top and a medium on bottom. Guys, stay with us. Everyone's like, To include non-straight-sized models, but also to include an all range of body sizes, body types, ethnicities, and gender identities. But then in saying that, we've had transgender models walk before. We've got like lots of races walking. So I think like... But as long as they're 10 on top and 10 on bottom.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So they are saying, look, even if you don't think you fit the mould of what you perceive to be a model, you should go along and give it a go. Definitely.

Because that's what they're trying to do. They make a very diverse range of models this year at New Zealand Fashion Week. However, there's no, so they all walk and they do the casting, but the designers get to choose who they want. Yeah, so if the designers don't have something that's going to fit. Yeah, if they have something in mind and you don't fit that, then they're not going to choose you.

Well, they're looking diverse, aren't they? Yeah, I mean, they're trying. Fletchfod and Megan's 20 Questions. that, then they're not going to choose. Well, they're looking diverse, aren't they? Yeah, I mean, they're trying. Alright, we're thinking of a random object. You get to ask a yes-no question. 20 of them, all up, and we're down We've had 18, so we've got

two questions left. $2,000 up for grabs. We're going to have a 19. Then after eight this morning, we're going to have a 20. Well, I don't know if we'll win. And then we win. I reckon people are on to it. Do you want me to recount what it is and what it is not? I think so.

All right. It is not a living thing. It is not found in a house. It is not a power tool. It does not have a motor. It is not something you would wear. It is outside and it is outside and around your house. It can be. Would you use it on your house? No, you wouldn't. It is not bright orange. It cannot be made out of wood. You could hang something on it. It is not found in a car. It is not

sports equipment. And it is not outside most Kiwi households, which kind of confirms the thing that you guys have been all like, it could be. Would you have to look up to see it? No, you wouldn't have to look up to see it. Can it be attached to a vehicle? No, it can't.

It does have writing on it. It is not a colourful object. Two questions left. Good morning, Hannah. Good morning. All right, you get to ask a yes-no question to try and win this $2,000. All right. Is it technology-based?

I don't know the answer to that. Vaughan? I think the question could do with some rephrasing. Okay. Yeah, because that's a weird one, isn't it? You might have to ask a more direct... More detailed? Or, yeah, direct question.

Because, I mean, you could say yes, couldn't you? You're not going to get an answer that's going to help you, is what I'd say. Okay. Yeah, that's actually good, Megan. You're not going to get an answer that's going to help you because it could be... Yeah, it would be very vague.

Yeah, very vague. Okay. Okay. Is it needed to... It's put me on the spot now. No, I don't want to watch where you're going with that one. Is it connected to a house? Wait there.

Hannah, you can wait there. Wait there Wait there We just need to Just going to turn our mics off I don't know. Okay. What are we going to say to that then? Say what Vaughan just said, or is that too much? No, this has got to be the yes-no, Megan. Say no then. Say no.

See, I think the answer would be yes. Oh, shit. Oh, see, I don't think it is. I think it's no. You just said no. Because it goes. Should we just say could be? Oh, we're on air, aren't we?

We can't say could be. We can't say could be. You just said no. It wasn't. I'd say no. I'd say no. Okay. Okay.

We'll go with Fletch saying no. I say no to you. Not directly. Don't you can't? No. That's what I wanted to say. Yeah, just saying. It's not directly.

Not directly. Hannah. Yes? The answer that we're giving you to your question is... Not directly. Okay. I'll just go with my original thing anyway. Okay, well, for $2,000 cash, what is our mystery object?

I was going to say power lines. Power lines. That's your guess. Power lines That's your guess Power lines Yep It is not power lines Because they would be connected to the house directly What are they?

Am I getting told off again? You are getting told off Power lines They would be connected to the house directly, wouldn't they? Am I getting told off again? You are getting told off. Power lanes. Hey, thanks, Hannah. We're going to give you another chance at our game, 20 questions. Hey, next round, let's not tell Fletch. Yeah, I don't think.

Oh, and if I wasn't here, you'd be giving out the wrong answers. You've got to get people on the right track. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. I just want you to think for a second about a text message or not an email, but a text or a WhatsApp or a Facebook message. If someone sent it to you

and they ended it with a full stop, would that be weird for you? Like a text message? I'll always go a ha-ha instead of a full stop. Or an emoji. Yeah, this person's just died, ha-ha-ha. I'll see you at the funeral, ha-ha-ha.

Lol. Lol. Yeah, I'm pretty shocking, but I definitely think in the last, like, I don't know, forever, I haven't been using full stops as much in messages with friends. If I was writing an email, yes. Yeah.

Because usually emails are a little bit more formal anyway. And a bit longer. Yeah. And you're making me look through my messages now. It's a different structure to a text. Yeah, I'm just looking through my messages too. Not one full stop. And I think if I did get one that was like, blah, blah, blah, full stop.

Like, I think sometimes my mum will use a full stop and I'm like, oh my God, I'm in trouble. Is she angry at me? Yeah, what have I done? And apparently a linguist has said that the full stop is making you look passive aggressive. So because we don't use it, and especially millennials just don't use it much anymore, when they do see a full stop in a conversation, yeah, they take it as a passive aggressive, like, oh my God, what have I done? And that's, it's amazing that you say that because I'm looking through all my chats now

and what most people are doing and I'm doing is breaking up my sentences with new messages. Yeah. Like one thought or one sentence, no full stop, next message. And then there'll be like, if you're having a conversation, there's like four lines in a row there. Yeah. Each new thought is a new message. That's exactly what the linguist says.

If you're a young person, you're sending messages to anyone on any of those apps. You break up your thoughts. Right, on anything. Breaking up your thoughts is to send a new message rather than a full stop. That's crazy because like it would be easy to send one message with full stops, right? Yeah, but like you just don't need it. It's just an extra button you have to push when you don't need it. Yeah, true.

And. You can press one, you can press enter and then keep typing as opposed to. And a full stop does seem very final. Like I'm about to text you again. Like why do I need to put a full stop? We're still continuing this conversation. It's amazing, isn't it? Yeah.

So please don't use it. I can't find any, but I also can't find any message that's actually long. I know. Do you do multiple texts? Okay, so there's one. I put a full stop In the middle of it Oh okay why?

And then afterwards Did ha ha Maybe at the time I didn't even realise But I thought I wrote it full stop And I was like Oh that's a bit abrupt

Ha ha Just carry on Lots of comma work Lots of comma work I don't I'm even commas I'll get rid of I'll just forego commas. Yeah, and just

write another line. And just do a new message. I remember commenting on someone's Facebook and deleting a full stop because I was like, well that's weird. It's very final. It's very final. Really? The only time you'd ever use it is like on an email for sure. Well, we ran a poll asking you if you think

that full stops are rude. Only 38% said yes. But I wonder now, having heard this, if we asked you now to go through your messages and actually think about it and think about how you talk and how you receive your messages, I think that might be the other way around.

Because 62% saying no. But they might not find them rude. They might not just think they're appropriate, like, fit well in that circumstance. And think about how it would make you feel if someone sent you a message and it ended in a full stop. Like when your parents just message one word, full stop. K, full stop.

Oh my God, I'm in deep. I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to take a moment to say thanks to Spark for sponsoring the Fletch, Vaughn and Megan podcast. You can grab Spark's $29 prepaid rollover packs and get stacks of extra value. Back to the podcast. Guys, this morning on my way to work, I had my first lime scooter accident. Oh, you're a... Are you going to be an ACC staff? I did keep this quiet. I'd actually forgotten about it.

No, I'm fine. How bad? Just checking to see if you had skin off your knees or something. I'm fine. So, you know, I'll e-scooter to work most days unless, like, there's not one parked on my way to work and I'm real grumpy because I have to walk all the way. Cost me a couple of bucks every morning. But hey, some people spend a couple of bucks on the bus to go to work every morning, don't they?

That's correct. So, you know, this morning, obviously a lot of rain overnight. Very slippery. Oh, yes. You hit a white line. This is amazing because I, like, think about when did they first come out? This is my first time coming off a Lime Scooter and I've been on one nearly every day. Was it July last year?

No. This year. No, it feels like it was spring. Oh, July this year has just happened. No, I feel like it was earlier, like Feb. No, no, no. It was the end of last year. It was like spring last year because I said, I remember saying at the time

we'll all get cocky riding it in the dry months and then it'll hit winter and there'll be a whole bunch of accidents but we didn't even have to wait for winter. There's not a lot of tread on those wheels, eh? No. So no, I was just coming around the corner. October.

It literally just went out from under me. Wow. Like it went... You were not scooting to the conditions. I know, I didn't change. You were playing fast and loose, lady. Because you sucked the chucks up your dice in it this weekend. Which is not like you to go just loose goes with the vacuum.

Well, no, because the chucks was on the carpet, and I was like... What was the chucks doing on a carpet? That's a bad place for a chucks. I'd been like dusting, I'd been like wiping the benches and stuff, and I chucked it on the carpet. And your chucks hoofed up your dicing. And then I just, it was a little bit of dust, like I could see a spot next to the chucks The cloth on the carpet

So you're like Instead of bending down I'm gonna see if I can Well no I was like I reckon I can get real close To that chucks Yeah But the power of the Dyson

Sucked it up And literally clogged the head I sucked the chucks Up my Dyson Is this a new And exciting fletch That we're seeing for August 2019

Just a loose My fletch is really loose In August Fast Fast cornering on a lime, sucking the chucks up your Dyson. Is that a euphemism? It sounds like a different issue.

It certainly sounds like a dirty euphemism. Lost my chucks up a Dyson at the weekend. But the weird thing was, the lime scooter went from under me and I just kind of was still standing. It was real weird. So you didn't have an accident? I was leaning over and my neck hurt a little bit at the time. It was real weird. So you didn't have a lean in? I was leaning over and I like my neck hurt a little bit at the time.

It's fine now. And then I was like, oh my God, I just completely came off. But like I'm standing. It was weird. You should get the CCTV footage from Queen Street. Absolutely not. Because people saw it too and I just laughed. And the lime scooter was on the road.

Were you on the road? It slid onto the road a little bit. Yeah, and then I just picked it up and carried on. So you didn't skid on like white lines or anything? No, but it was just the wet footpath. Right. But I always take that corner a bit wider, but it was a bit, maybe it was a bit. Well, you're playing Fast and the Furious August.

Fast and the Furious August. On your vacuums, your lime scooters. Maybe that was the wee warning, the wee fright you needed. I know. Because I see you hoon through traffic lights sometimes. And I'm like, fledge. What have you got planned next for this wild month? Jumping in the shower without checking that it's warmed up first. Oh, I always check that it's warmed up.

Did you not hear he hoovered his chucks up as Dyson? No, I know, but he can't just rest on his laurels now that he's hoovered his chucks up as Dyson. Are you saying when he got under the cold water, his chucks went up his Dyson? It was so cold, my chucks went all the way up my bloody Dyson. This is the last time I tell you what I put up my Dyson. To be honest, I don't think it's family friendly

to tell anybody where you've been putting up your Dyson and where you've been putting your chucks. Especially if it's your chucks up your Dyson. It's the unglamorous life of your Dyson and where you've been putting your Chucks. Especially if it's your Chucks up your Dyson. It's the unglamorous life of a Dyson influencer and a Chucks. I should be getting payment from Chucks. Cloths. You should. Because my roll's nearly out. My whole roll of Chucks is nearly out.

I do buy a big wholesale roll of Chucks. That's a good way of doing it. That's a great way of doing it. But then I start playing fast and loose with my Chucks. I'm like, no. You're starting to fade. You're out. Because are you like, I'm just going to treat myself. I'll get a new chucks off the roll. Yeah, same. It's a great day. Or like you have to wipe up just a

little bit of something off the floor and you're like, I'm sorry chucks, but that was, you're gone. I'm getting a new chucks off the roll. I literally used you to wipe up chicken juice yesterday and then gave you a light rinse. But the fact that you've touched the floor is absolutely disgusting. In fact, you're going up the dice. It won't make it, I'll tell you.

It'll clog in the head. Oh, God. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Over the weekend, a mate of mine, he'd been talking about this date and then we all forgot and then he got a reminder in his phone, his calendar, an NDA that he signed. This is a non-disclosure agreement to keep things secret.

So it's something you sign. It's a legal document. Yeah. If you know some juicy goss. And there's generally like a financial penalty attached to you spreading or letting anybody know. You might lose out on something or. Like we sign them all the time because we sometimes get to watch movies

like three months before they come out. Yeah. Or because we have to interview someone. And they're like, if you tell anyone you'll be sued for like $3 million and you're like, good luck.

Like, what am I just going to write you a check for $3 million that I will never ever have? Sometimes I feel like they pick a number that they know will just like scare this shit out of you. You're like, oh, okay. Do you know also people that go on reality shows

would sign these? My wife signed one when she was in the background of America's Next Top Model. That's right. Oh, I signed one when I interviewed Khloe Kardashian.

Like nothing, anything to do with the show or behind the scenes or anything like that. What? Because you may have seen things. Yeah, they were just like filming

and so you had to like sign all these papers. But see, that would be an example of an expired NDA, right? Yeah. Because once the show had come out, you couldn't say anything that hadn't. Or maybe you could. Maybe you could say you saw them doing a retake of something that ended up in the show, but that wasn't authentic because I saw it being a retake. Yeah, true.

And so I'd signed that and I couldn't say anything initially. But yeah, Sade's won on America's Next Top Model. She's in the background. She could have won it, of course. She was just in the background. Yeah. But she couldn't say what contestants were left. Oh, yeah, because she could easily get online and be like,

well, I know that these people have been eliminated. The six that came and these are the ones that, yeah, and kind of spoiler alert. But once it had aired, she said that was people have been eliminated. These are the six that came and these are the ones that, yeah, and kind of spoiler it. But once it had aired, she said that was her. It expired. She could talk about it. It expired in the air. Yeah, so this mate of mine said it expired in the air,

made a big deal out of it. And then we were all like, well, what was in it? And he told us and it was so boring. What, like business stuff? It was like business stuff. Oh, right, okay. I was like, oh, that's boring though. I want a juicy goss.

So now I feel like I'm owed something juicy. Right. Which is why I would like to this morning ask if anybody ever signed an NDA or some sort of like agreement to keep something secret. And now it's expired. And you can tell. And you can share the juiciness. Yeah, right.

Okay. Yeah. I'm fiending for Well no I'm just trying to think All the ones that we've signed Have kind of expired Like for movies And interviews and stuff

Yeah And when we moved radio stations And saying what radio station We were going to work at Oh yeah We had to sign one then Didn't we Yeah

That was a fun one though That was a fun one yeah It's like a six months Of secrets Yeah The good part was You didn't have to work Your main job Over those three months Was just keeping your mouth shut six months of secrets. The good part was you didn't have to work.

Your main job over those three months was just keeping your mouth shut and it was real hard. It was real hard but you didn't have to get up at four o'clock in the morning to do it. Right.

You didn't have to have a sleep in. So you want to hear from people that have signed a secret deal? Yeah, maybe. Maybe secret. Like what have you signed to keep secret? And like can you tell us now?

Because we don't want to hear from people that, I mean, unless you want to break your secret agreement, but I don't think people would want to break their secret agreements if they're still in an agreement. They're not going to tell us. It would be fun if it was just America's or New Zealand's next top model. Like, just TV shows that you signed NDAs for. Somebody messaged in saying part of their NDA was they weren't allowed

to talk about how they had an NDA. And so even now they've breached their NDA by saying they've signed an NDA that had an NDA about the NDA. Now I want to know what their NDA was about. Sounds good. An NDA was its name. This sounds weird. NDA.

NDA. N, N, NDA N-D-A. N-D-A. N-N-N-D-A. I don't know. This is in my head. That sounded better than it was. Just because it was letters. Yeah, letters. You ran with that because it's letters. Not even the right amount of letters. No. No, I like how you

tried to make three into five there. N-N-D-E-A. Close enough. Close enough. Close enough. You finish that coffee sooner. So 0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696. Have you ever signed an NDA, a secret agreement? And maybe you can tell us about it now.

Has it expired? Yeah, and if it hasn't, I mean, we could be vague about these things. Look, basically, we want some juicy goss. Give us a call. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I'm talking about secret agreements, legal documents that you've had to sign, known as NDAs, non-disclosure agreements, where you will shut up. Otherwise, you'll be sued.

Because one of my mates had one expire at the weekend and said, oh, that NDA's expired. And we're like, oh, finally. It was boring. Yeah. Also, I feel like it doesn't matter what you sign, you're always going to tell your partner, right, or your bestie. Oh, they're not included in the NDAs, right?

Your partner. Like, there's just an extension of yourself. Yeah, exactly. You tell them everything. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Like, if you signed one, you'd tell Mr. Toyboy. Yeah.

Or the goss. Of course, and then I'd be like, don't tell anyone. Yeah, but he'd probably tell his one person. Is that how goss works? Yeah. Everyone's tell Mr. Toyboy. Yeah. All the goss. Of course, and then I'd be like, don't tell anyone. Yeah, but he'd probably tell his one person too. Is that how goss works? Yeah. Everyone's like telling one person. Yeah. And that one person's not supposed to tell anyone. There's no such thing as a secret if more than one person knows.

Oh, that's deep. Deep, eh? Yeah, because that one person will tell one person. Exactly. Yeah. Some text messages in. My father had to sign an NDA with Google for testing some new technology. That's all it says.

That's all it says. That's all it says. Oh, now I want to know what it is. Me too, but that's part of the NDA as well. Somebody else said that when ANZ were in the process of purchasing National Bank, I had to sign an NDA. But then it was apparently the worst kept secret anyway because then when they went all public with it,

I was like, can I talk about this now? And they're like, no. And I was like, but... But everybody knows. Yeah, I remember that day. They took that black stallion out the back and just... Yeah, it was terrible. Imagine the National Bank.

Emily, you had to sign some secret documents. I wish I, like, signed. It was more, like, online. Emily, you had to sign some secret documents? I wouldn't say like signed. It was more like online. With McDonald's, every time we do a module, so you do them probably about two months out from what's coming up. Oh, okay. So either we're getting a new product or we're bringing things back.

So you do the module to learn how to make it online and then after that you um like you sign a wee bot you tick away box at the end it says like i will not tell anyone before x date blah blah blah otherwise you'd be fired or they'll sue you kind of thing probably right so you'd know if they're bringing back the monopoly game or the McRib before anybody else. I'm not working here anymore, but, like, I couldn't tell my dad they were bringing back the McRib, but they do the Monopoly game every year. Oh, yeah, you know they're bringing it back. But you didn't even tell your dad they were bringing back the McRib? No, I wasn't living with him at the time, but I was like, can I?

And they're like, no. And Ronald McDonald taps your phone too, so. He knows if you're talking. Yeah. That's where he hides all his tech for tapping into phone lines. Hey, thanks you call, Emily. Some other, yeah. What?

Your mouse. I'm using a mouse. Vaughn's like, some other techs. And he's like, Vaughn. Okay, so behind the scenes. You've got a mouse pad. Vaughn has brought in his own mouse from the 2000s. No, I have.

I've had it in my bag for ages. A mouse pad. Why do you don't need mouse pads these days? No, this one does because the desk's super shiny and it's a laser. And it doesn't know where it is. Isn't yours a laser, Fletch? Yeah, but mine's...

Oh my God, I feel left out. I don't have a mouse. If you want to get one of these, it's good for your wrist because that's why I'm doing it. I've got a sore wrist and I was advised. You've scared him because he doesn't want carpal tunnel. I don't want carpal tunnel syndrome. I've got shingles, then Vaughn gets shingles.

I've got carpal tunnel, then Vaughn gets carpal tunnel. I'm just... He likes to copy my... Following you down the path of falling to bits. Right. I don't need a mouse for my laptop, though. No, but this is what they said. It's really bad when you use both hands on the track pad and you're like

wrists are like and your shoulders are like When you go back to physio, they're like, did you buy a mouse? And you're like, yes I did. But they know you're lying like the doctor, the dentist with the floss. The floss, they know. Yeah, they know. Mostly people messaging in saying that

they had to sign NDAs, but unfortunately not juicy. It's always just like business stuff. And more than one person has also said, they said to the person who made them sign NDA, you know no one cares. Lisa, you had to sign an NDA? So I had to sign an NDA when we knew that a film crew was coming into my work. Yeah.

And my kid was sick the day that the film crew came in. So when I came in the very next day, everyone was going on and on about how Taylor Swift had been in to film a part of her video clip.

Oh. And you were sick. One of my kids was sick because I'm a solo mum. I had to be the one to stay home with them. So you missed out on seeing Taylor Swift?

I did. And I was so gutted about it. But did you still have to sign the NDA to say you wouldn't tell anybody she'd been in? I had to sign the NDA to say that she wasn't there

and that she was never going to be there and that she hadn't been there. But I leave that company this Friday, so if I talk about it, are they going to, like, fire me or something?

Maybe you should check the clauses before you... Taylor Swift was never here. But she was. No, she wasn't. No. No. Hey, thanks you, Lisa. Some text messages.

Somebody said, I got asked to sign an NDA after installing carpet in the home of a VIP. Oh, okay. Would that be so that... If you see anything while you're there. Well, nobody's quite often like... People want to know what carpet celebrities have got. Like, do they have 100% wool? Is it a synthetic?

Is it a hard-wearing? Is it a Cavalier brand wool? Yeah. Is it a Feltex? Yeah. Wow. And what, they want to keep their carpet choice secret? Is it a carpet court?

Is it that rhino court? Rhino carpet. I don't know. It's got a 25-year stain-free warranty or whatever. Or maybe they've seen some, their sex dungeon. Or maybe they can give them a footprint of the house. Yeah, they have to carpet the red room. You never carpet a sex dungeon.

Oh, amateurs. Lino. I was going to say, what, tiles? Lino or tiles, yeah. Easy wash down. Tiles are cold. This week on The Block. Sex dungeon week.

The foolishly chosen carpet. What will Peter Wolfkamp say about that? Fletch Fodd and Megan's 20 Questions. Well, it's got to this point. We're thinking of an object. You have 20 questions to try and figure out what it is. And New Zealand, you've used 19 questions. And we've had 19 incorrect guesses.

Anna. We have $2,000 to give away. I've called you by your real name, so it's serious. It was weird. Can you send me the list of all the questions, please? Thank you. We're going to do one last recap before. Are we going to do this?

Yeah, I think so. One last recap of your yes, no questions before. And I've actually even just, I'm just writing something down here. Because if I've decided on something. Oh, God. You haven't floated this with the pack. No. Hold on, pack.

It's going to get pretty loose here. It's a list of numbers, Megan, because next up, if this person doesn't get it, I say we just open the phone lines. And keep going. And keep going until we get the right answer. But. No, but that's not 20 questions.

But. Wait, hold your horses there, Bapadobulus. Every time someone gets it wrong, we knock $100 off. So, it will be 20 guesses before it gets to zero, and when it gets to zero, we'll just tell you what the answer was. Okay. We just want to

give away some cash. Yeah. Alright, well, we might not even get to that. Really. It might, though. Do you have your list of, do you want to run through? Oh, yep. Sorry, completely forgot about that. I got a little excited about that other thing we were doing. So, this is the last time you're going to get the full recap.

Is it a living thing? No. Is it found in a house? No. Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor? No.

Is it something you would wear? No. Is it outside? Yes. Is it around or outside your house? Yes. Would you use it on your house? No. Is it outside? Yes. Is it around or outside your house? Yes. Would you use it on your house? No. Is it bright orange? No. Also, it cannot be made out of wood. Can you hang something on it? Yes. Is it found in your car? No. Is it sports equipment? No. Can it be found outside most Kiwi households? The answer is no. You don't have

to look up to see it. It cannot be attached to a vehicle. It does have writing on it. It is not a colourful object. Is it connected to a house? No. So let's get into it. Who are we going to for the last? One question left. Michaela, good morning. Morning. All right, so with all of that in mind, you have the last yes, no question. Okay.

No pressure. Does it... Is it made of metal? Yes. It is, Michaela. Is it a power pole? Now, getting back to our yes no questions No no no no

Shut your mouth Shut your mouth Just let the adults talk Because it's not I'm afraid it is not A power pole Shut up Blanche Alright Michaela. Thank you.

Now we just open up the lines and we're going to take 20 guesses in a row. We start at $2,000. Georgia. Hey, how's it going? Good. What do you think it is?

Well, I thought it was a power pole, but I'm going to go with pylon. Is that different? A power pylon. Are you locking in a power pylon? Yes, a pylon. Are you locking in a power pylon? Yes, a pylon. For $2,000. Are we knocking off $100?

It's $1,900. Oh, is it $1,900? Oh no, but we should start at $2,000. No, because that was 20 guesses. $2,000. Now we're going back. You suck at this. We're at $1,900. It's good, isn't it? It's 2000. Now we're going back. You suck at this. We're at 1900s. It's good, isn't it? It's pretty good.

For $1900. Georgia. Yes? It is a power pylon. Woo! Congratulations. I know there'll be people saying about a power pole, but a power pole's different and it can be made of wood.

You still see wooden power poles, and that was one of the Easter questions throughout. Do you have to look up to see? You don't have to look up to see. You don't have to look up to see it. You can look straight ahead and see it. Is it connected to the house? That was the one where we had a bit of back and forwards about.

We went off air for that one to deliberate that. The power pylon itself connects to a substation or a power station, doesn't it? And then air for that one to deliberate that. Where? The power pylon itself. Connects to a substation or a power station, doesn't it? And then those wires go out to the house. So indirectly, we did say indirectly. Indirectly. It would connect to your house, but not directly. It's not a living thing. No, these are the questions.

Is it found in a house? No, not in a house, of course. It's not a power tool. Does it have writing on it? Yes. Found to somewhere? Do not climb. You'll fry yourself. Signs like that. So yeah, there's writing on them. Is it something writing on it? Yes. Do not climb, you'll fry yourself.

Signs like that. So yeah, there's writing on them. Is it something you would wear? No, of course not. Is it around outside your house? Well, there are houses with power pylons in their backyard. Yep. But not every Kiwi house has it.

That was one of the other questions. It's not bright orange. Can it be made out of wood? Not a power pylon. No. I've never seen a wooden power pylon. No. Neither.

No. But congratulations, Georgia. You have won. Should we just round it up? 19 questions. 1900. Should we just round it up? That is amazing.

No. It's Monday. Let's just round it up. No, it's 100 bucks. We can go for lunch after the show. Oh, yeah, okay. It's not how it works. You won $1,900, Georgia.

Congratulations. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. It has been revealed. We said one quarter of millennials claim they don't have these. I can tell you that it's friends. Millennials are the loneliest generation in recent history. Oh, man. What's your new survey?

A study, a survey. This is a UK-based research company, YouGov. They give us, hey, we've talked about their statistics and findings quite a bit. Is it like their statistics? They're always pumping out some stats. Is it like Statistics New Zealand, but the UK version? Yeah.

Right, okay. So when they compared that number to baby boomers, 25% of baby boomers said they had 50 friends. Whoa. Do you think it's because most of people, do you think under 35 would be primarily online interaction? We're not primarily, but a lot. Yeah, you still have friends, but you keep in touch with people online so much more,

you don't really need to catch up. Like, you think about how much you know about your friends without having seen a lot of them. Yeah, when you catch up, you're like, oh, I saw such and such on Facebook. I saw that you're doing this and that. But then this isn't even about being lonely in person. Right. This is just saying they don't have any friends online or otherwise. But that's sad because you know that they have friends

because they'll have like heaps on Facebook, but they obviously consider them, you know, like acquaintances. People they wouldn't actually tell seriously how they're feeling. Yeah. So psychologists around the world have agreed and said that we're actually in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. Oh my God. And it's not those elderly

that you think it would be who are in their rest homes or, you know, have been widowed or whatever. It's the millennials. So then, on top of having no friends, even the ones with friends, 30% of millennials say they often feel lonely. Whereas it's only 15%

of baby boomers that feel lonely. Right, we'll cross now to our intern Anya, our millennial expert at the news desk. Intern Anya, what are your thoughts on these findings? I think it's definitely harder to make new friends.

Like, I'm rubbish at making new ones. I still roll around with the same gang from high school. It's good, though, that you've hung on to them. But if I didn't have them, yeah. Is Molly getting ready to, like, cut you loose? Oh, that's so mean. Are you Molly's social anchor?

Oh, that's really mean. Who's Molly? Why don't I know Molly? It's her only friend. Are you kidding? You should know Molly. It's the one she always talks about. Oh, but I've never seen her.

Is she real? Yeah. She's a real person. I've met Molly. Oh, so she's real? I think we've met. I think we've all met Molly. Molly's been with me for like 10 years, guys.

Haven't we all met? Oh, maybe at your birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Don't pretend you remember. Terrible with names, great with faces. Okay, print out five faces. One of them's Molly.

I can guarantee you won't be able to tell me which one's Molly. Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, then you get into the fact of if I kill you. Make them all white girls from the shore, like the rest of your friends, and you won't be able to pick Molly from a line-up. Yeah. You're probably not wrong. You're probably not wrong. Okay.

I was only joking about Molly cutting you loose, obviously. She's your social anchor. Molly, what a drag. Can you just stop? Can you just stop digging? Bye, thanks. Am I officially excused from... That would be great.

But do you think if you didn't have your boyfriend, would you feel like you needed to make more friends? Yeah, I definitely feel like I'd need to go out more. Like, leave the house and not watch Netflix all the time. We've spoken about this before. Like, I feel like I only have one full-time friend. And then Caitlin Victor. And it's hard to make

adult friends. And it's hard to make adult friends. Like, ones that you see every now and then. That's because you're a bitch. I honestly can't go and bubble it because it's just like magnet. Like, I'm a magnet in Naur narrow iron sand. It's because they think you're nice and then when they get

to know you they're like, oh he's actually a bit of an arsehole. But then I also wonder if it gets to a certain age where you actually start to appreciate your alone time. Like, I would say I don't have a huge group of friends but I actually

really don't want any. But you've got your family. I've got my family, yeah, sure. Your living friends. But I was alone in the garage for like three hours yesterday. Oh, it was glorious. Man, the DeWalt tools. Chatting and building.

Even if your family goes away, you don't rush out and be social. No, God, no. No, why would you? Please, that's quiet time. Oh, heavens. Yeah. If they're away, it's a blessing. Yeah.

Not that I want them gone, but it's just a little bit of a gift of some quiet time. But if everyone's feeling lonely, maybe you should all reach out, you know? Reach out and touch. Mm-mm. Somebody's... No. But then it's getting back to that whole Making adult friends, it's hard

It's awkward isn't it Yeah it is Well I don't know Always be alone Fact of the day Day day day day Today's Fact of the Day is about Russian beers Ooh, okay Russian beers, Russian brown beers

Have become so addicted to huffing aviation fuel That they have started stalking helicopters For where they will land and drop off the fuel. Goodness me. Yeah, it's really crazy, right? So they find fuel canisters and they sniff, they get their little snout into a crack

or they'll bash it with a rock and then they'll sniff the aviation fuel or the kerosene that's inside it. I've actually got photographic evidence here of this one's up on a tank. scene that's inside it. I've actually got photographic evidence here of this one's up on a tank. He's like, get in there. And this is a photo, this is what they do afterwards. They huff

it and then they just lie on their back in the snow. Oh, like little adder belly rub. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't want to scratch his belly when it came to. What have we done to nature? What have we done? I know of all the shocking things, it's quite awful to see a bear addicted to huffing food.

Yeah, and then he's lying in the snow like. Yeah, that really disturbs me. It's really upsetting. This bear, apparently, this helicopter was looking for a place to land and this bear just like followed it around on the ground until it landed and then it comes in and it's like. Got into that aviation fuel. Oh, man. Well, that comes in and it's like, got into that aviation.

Oh, man. Oh, that's really sad. I know. It is really sad, isn't it? But they're, yeah, they're really into it. So now- Not to mention you're in rehab. You turn around and there's a bear there. Yeah.

Bear! No, no, no cell phones. No cell phones. For the first one, no cell phones. You'll earn your freedom if you behave yourself. So, yeah, they apparently are having to take measures to make sure brown bears can't have a ready supply of the aviation fuel, meaning taking more barrels with them rather than just dropping it off

and skidding it away. Yeah, emptying it into something that's a little safer and conceals the smell a bit more than they're taking it with because apparently it's becoming a real problem. Goodness. I can see why because, you know, when you board one of those regional planes at the airport, catch a whiff. I walk across the tarmac. Catch a whiff across the tarmac.

It's quite something, isn't it? It's so much nicer than standard petrol, isn't it? Aviation film. It just has that extra... It's like a Jean-Paul Gaultier versus Glade toilet spray. It is, yeah. Okay. No time for it.

But then you walk across the tarmac, you just have a little extra linger, but not half out of a barrel. Don't be silly. Don't do it out of a barrel. You'll bloody kill yourself. So today's fact of the day is Russian beers are becoming addicted to aviation fuel. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I saw this on the news over the weekend

and I thought, heck, it'd be great if that did happen now. Right. Basically, it was a bit if that did happen now. Right. Basically, it was a bit of chat about public transport in Auckland. Light rail, which is not like big trains, eh? It's little trains. Trams, like in Melbourne. Trams and little trains. And quick little trains on smaller gauge rails or something.

Marcus Lush will know. I'll have a chat to him later. He still loves the trains. He loves the trains. Loves the train. So, apparently it was supposed to be underway. Simon Bridges, leader of the opposition, the National Party, has said that he is pretty sure it's not going to be underway.

National's leader has issued a challenge of his own to the Transport Minister, who promised work would start on Auckland's light rail by next year's election. I'll run down Queen Street or Dominion Road with my underpants if they do that. Okay. He better mean in his underpants not just holding his underpants. Yeah, but that sounds like he's trying to get out of it because then he can run down with his underpants in his hand. Yeah,

because he's done more, hasn't he? So he's smart. I also call them underpants. Oh, yeah. With your knickers on. I'll run down Queen Street in my knickers. But, he said it. Yeah, but the way he said it, he'll run down holding them. He was like, with my underpants.

Yeah. Even I'd just like to see him running down the road holding undies because then it looks like he's stolen somebody's undies. He stole someone's undies. That's what people can yell at him. Yeah. And I hope, well, both streets along to run the entirety of Dominion Road would take you a very long time.

My, what I want to talk about now is he's made one of these promises. If someone had yelled eyebrows, have you ever had someone yell eyebrows? No, what does that mean? Like if you make a claim like that and someone yells out eyebrows, that means that if he doesn't do it, you get to shave off his eyebrows. Oh, right. That seems vaguely familiar to me. Yeah, eyebrows.

Okay, right. Because when you call eyebrows, if someone makes a claim like, oh, I'll do so-and-so, you're like, eyebrows. So it's a fallback. Yeah, it's a mensa. So then they either have to do it or get their eyebrows shaved off. Because can we have a leader of a party with no eyebrows? It'll look weird.

If he gets sweaty in the house, it'll just go straight into his eyes. Because that's what the eyebrows are there for, aren't they? Yeah, to make sweat run around. They are the Marley guttering of our faces. They are. They're face gutters. They even have a little duck on a jet ski and they feel like close enough. They do, yeah. So I would love to know when you actually had to go through with a bet.

Right. Like maybe you just claimed if someone did something, you'd insert ludicrous thing to do here, and you actually had to go through with it. Because nobody does, do they? No. They're always like, oh, yeah, I'll do this and do that. I'll eat my hat.

Well, I want to see you eat your hat now. You'd have to grind it down and then I'd mix it into a drink. That's absolutely fine as long as you ate it. That would be fine by me. But I'd love to know this morning, text 9696 or 0800 dial ZM. When did you have to go through with the bet that you laid down? Well, maybe you know someone that made a ridiculous bet or a claim, a deer, and then had to go through with it.

Give us a call. Well, National Leader Simon Bridges has said that if work doesn't get started on the light rail in Auckland, he's going to... I'll run down Queen Street or Dominion Road with my underpants. On or in his hand?

We don't need clarification on that. We will need to. Someone should have called eyebrows on him when he said that as well. So when have you had to go through with a deer or a bet? Yeah. Because, you know, if you make this bold, especially Simon Bridges, this is public record. He's a leader.

He's going to have to do this now. It's gone on record. Although I don't know if we want to see that. I would. You would? I kind of. Curiosity. Yeah. Same. It's gone on record. Although I don't know if we want to see that. I would. You would? I kind of. Curiosity.

Yeah, same. Well, it might. I mean, he's low in the polls. We can only help him. Unless he's low in the poll. And then it might not help him at all. No. Maybe not.

So we want to know when you had to follow through on a bet. Somebody said, in order to get a mate of mine to sign up for Tinder, I said, if you go on Tinder, I'll sign up for The Bachelor. She ended up on Tinder and I ended up on TV. So I don't know which one of The Bachelor contestants that is. Really? Okay. Art?

Was it art? Do you reckon it's art? Is it art? No, it wouldn't be art. It wouldn't be art. It might be art. It might be art. Might have had his arm in milk this morning.

Ready to go. Ready to go. Ready to get on with the day. Text us in. I just have to ask him. I just know. So, yeah, we want to know from you when you had to follow through on a bet. Josh.

Oh, boys tag me in one of those posts on Facebook. Tag someone if they don't reply in four minutes, they have to get a bowl cut. So I just follow through with it. Oh, my God. You know you don't have to. Oh, yeah, but it made for good banter. How did you suit a bowl cut, Josh? I actually

ended up getting a picture holding a telephone next to my head. Sort of looked like that fella on, I think it was Duke's a Hazard with the Armadillo hat. Wow. Because I always see those ones, like, if Oh, Duke's a hazard with the armadillo hat. Wow. That's really something. Brilliant.

Because I always see those ones, like, if tag a mate and if they don't reply, they'll owe you, like, 20 nuggies or a nugget speed. Yeah, or, like, a miniature donkey or something really weird. And getting some amazing images through from the South Island this morning of the snow, not just a light dusting, but, like, inches. Dumping. Dumping of

snow. And the weather is kind of crazy all over the country. You would imagine that it would be a great day for snowboarding or skiing on Ruapehu, but both ski fields are shut due to blizzard-like conditions. Still getting a dumping. Yeah, a lot of roads as well

closed around the country. Yeah, so there are heavy snowfall warnings in place for Fiordland, Clutha and Southland. And then road closures State Highway 8, 85, 87 and 94 are closed along with the Desert Road and Lewis Pass. Cool. Boo. Now, do you want, while you've got the microphone

and the spotlight now for the nation, do you want to tell everyone about your new purchase? What you want to purchase for your new flat? Guys! It's really cool and I want at least one person on the text machine to back me up that this is a hot purchase and it's worth it. Your boyfriend has

said no, you're not allowed to buy this. She wants to buy a doormat for her apartment. Which I don't have a problem with, but what's on the doormat? Okay, so it's got a picture of Ned Flanders, and it says, hi diddly ho, neighbour. How cool is that? Would this be outside your apartment?

I'm imagining you get into it off a hallway. Yeah. Would this be outside the doorway? Yeah, it's going to be hot property, yeah. It would get stolen, surely. Well, you could put like a wire, pierce a hole through the corner, because imagine it's a hard mat, and then put a wire,

one of the security wires, and kind of screw that in somewhere. I think the landlord would be appreciative of my extra decor. Sometimes I think Andy's the voice of reason in your relationship, because he also said you couldn't have that song from The Lion King

as your first dance at your wedding. Oh, come on, Megan. Don't expose what we're saying. What Lion King song did she want? What song was it? Hakuna Matata. No, it was Can You Feel the Love Tonight, the Beyonce version. I had chills.

So I turned to him in the movie. I said, this is the one. I'm sorry, but Beyonce's version has nothing on the Elton John original. You'd be best to go for original. Oh, you've had support on the text machine. For Hi Diddley Ho? Yeah. Great!

The only problem is... Actually, 100% support because everyone wants to laugh at you probably. I'd say so. The only issue is it's $49.90 for the mat. You've got to pay

Matt Groening a bit of a commission, don't you? Plus $18 for shipping. That's way too much for a doormat. No. $70 for a doormat. No. $70 for a doormat.

K-marts or the local K-mart or... Everyone wants to know where you're finding this doormat. Yeah, that's expensive. You can find that cheaper on the doormat. Am I in Ned Flanders' doormat influence now? I noticed when I've been going to Mitre 10 lately, they're doubling down on the Star Wars-based home decor. Because of nerds like you.

No, but not even I, well I wouldn't be allowed to buy one. I might have a Darth Vader in the garden being followed by an elite pack of stormtroopers. In fact, that's a great idea. And the R2D2s at the other side of the garden like getting away. But I haven't seen that doormat because I've seen they've got doormats that says like, welcome to the dark

side, Star Wars reference. Oh, that's not cool. This one is cool, and it's on Trade Me, from English Bob's Emporium, and he's got some other hot pics on there as well. Really? Like, other novelty doormats? Yeah. Like, what do they say?

There's some Central Perk Friends ones, which I also really liked, but not quite as funny as Ned Flanders, I thought. And then there's also ones that are like, welcome to the, oh, what do you call it in Stranger Things? Underworld. Upside Down.

Upside Down, that's it. That's dumb too. Saw that one before. Yeah, so English Bob, send one my way. Are they official merch? Oh my God, you're actually an influencer. A doormat influencer. I don't know. Yeah, it says official licensed product.

Oh, that's lovely then. Yeah. Somebody said they got a doormat from America that says the grass is greener under my wiener and it was a picture of a wiener dog. It was such a lull and a great souvenir and a great conversation starter. Go for it, Hania.

I can imagine the Mormons knocking on your door in that convo getting started. What? The wiener chat? Because it's got the dog there obviously They're Mormons I'm just amazed They're not like

Talking about sex and stuff And penises They would assume it was Purely a dog based pun then Yeah Just on the right The rhyme of greener under my wiener ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
