beach when we're like, go to the beach and take the dogs. This is the beach. So you could have found this. Could have. What if your dogs got into it? God, they're a handful enough as it is. I'd be a bloody rogue on coke. But a whole bunch of Coke was found, so we're going to deal with that in today's top six.

And the top six called the top six things we all thought when the cocaine on the beach story broke. All right, that's coming up. Plus, our big announcement. We've been teasing this for a couple of weeks now and we've been sitting on some secrets for a couple of weeks now.

We get to, at 8 o'clock this morning, announce the line-up for Friday Jams Live. So we can tell you every artist that is playing at 8 o'clock. And you can stop asking me. Have you actually told anyone? No. Megan? Just my husband. Ellie? Do you tell your best friend anyone? No. Megan? Just my husband. Ellie?

Do you tell your best friend Ellie? No. I didn't tell Sade. Didn't you? No. And then someone who was in the video where we did the release. Yeah. In front of Sade started talking about it.

And then Sade got really angry at me because I didn't tell her. So you kept a secret and didn't even tell your own wife and Megan. You blammed it out to Mr. Toyboy. You can assume if I know something

he knows it. It's just like we both know it. Was he excited when you did tell him the line up for Friday Jams Live? Yes.

Yes. I almost told you who he was most excited about. Did you tell him what you did at one o'clock the other day? To the Jonas Brothers?

So... Kept that pretty quiet from him, didn't you? All right, we're going now. You're in the car right now. All right, children, listen up. It's story time. Vaughn spilt his water. I didn't spill the water.

Fleece threw a computer at the water bottle. Why is the lid. Fleece threw the water through a computer in the water bottle. Why is the lid not on your water bottle? Caitlin, it's Caitlin's water bottle. Uh-oh. Quick, can't you get some towels? Can you take it off? Quick, just got water in it. You're killing me.

Vaughan, just that wee plug there. Do you want to just like try and... That one? Yeah. But if I pull that out, I won't have a meeker fit. Ah! I found a tingle through the microphone. I got a shot. A little tingle.

Oh my God. I'm blowing the water away. Don't blow the water. I'm blowing the water away from the hole. Anya, can you just put the paper towels around you? You know, the real crime here is my wired mouse might need refraction. She's had an absolute guts full of you two and it is seven minutes past six.

We're in here. Caitlin Jane Marit. Caitlin. No, she doesn't. She doesn't want to come in. Caitlin Jane Marit. Caitlin. No, she doesn't want to come in. Caitlin Jane Marit, please come to the main studio because you've left, while you're saving the environment with your stupid water bottle. Don't say that. You've got to leave the lid on, Caitlin.

What have you done here? She's made a mistake. Oopsy daisies. Oopsy daisies. Hey, look, no harm, no foul. I didn't think about it. made a mistake and she's whoopsie daisies hey look no harm no foul I didn't think about it

this is a work computer I should have like took more on and got a new one now we need to use tea towels rather than all these paper towels

because this is waste very wasteful wow okay okay well we'll move on are we all good?

No. I mean, time will tell. Anya's got a handful of soggy paper. There we go. Crisis averted there. For the meantime, if we do fizzle and go off here later in the show, it's what are you doing? I'm putting on this microphone over here.

What, because you're scared of your microphone? No, this is some clean up in progress. Okay. Adapt. Okay. Three news headlines. Vaughn in progress. Oh, okay. Adapt. Okay. Three news headlines. Vaughn and Megan pick one of the following three. Headline one, bride trusts smart.

Can I just stop you? I'm on a guest microphone. Can I get a permanent microphone, please? Like one, like a proper big one? Because you can hear it. You can go back to your one soon. Okay. As long as this is a temporary measure.

Headline one, bride trusts fart. Oh my god. Look no further. I think I found my pick for the day. You don't want me to carry on? I mean, we'll see. Maybe we'll see, but I'm pretty sure we're not

going to be there. Headline two, man finds wife on Tinder while she's away on business trip. Oh, no. And headline three, sad face emoji neighbours. Those are your headlines. Why was the husband on Tinder? Exactly. Well, that's the thing.

Having a peruse. Okay, well, that's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it?

That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it?

That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? That's the thing, isn't it? Story one.

Or is that... What do you want? Oh, I want one. Okay. All right, we go to the UK now where a woman has ruined her wedding dress, her $12,000 wedding dress after a disastrous side effects of detox drinks

ahead of her wedding. Now, this story has been recounted on Reddit by the wedding planner who assisted both the bride in the run up and on the day. So some background, she explained that the couple adopted for a rural shabby chic aesthetic

in a historic barn. Rustic, okay. Which necessitated having portaloos. Now she had the bride-to-be had been quite a bridezilla okay and so it was quite a bit to deal with um the ceremony had ended cocktail hour was shutting down professional photos were taken we were preparing to transition to the entrance of the bridal party which would be followed immediately by a first dance and cake cutting when you when Fletcher's

describing that you know how you automatically visualise something? Yeah. Were you imagining yourself in that situation? Your wedding? Where you're like, we're doing the fun, and then transition to the entry. I'm like, I was picturing where I got married, and I'm like, okay, yep, yep. Where the entry's going to happen.

Yeah. Yep, yep. Well, a few moments later, the wedding planner's headset beeped, and the assistant said, we have an issue. And it turns out, they said over the radio that the bride had gambled on a fart and lost in a big way lost in a big way holy moly that is a great way to say yourself so apparently she could not get to the bathroom in time she told everybody to expect a delay of 15 minutes.

Her assistant bleeped again on the radio and said, the previous issue is more than we anticipated. Oh, my God. She ran over to find the assistant looking horrified, and the bride had apparently mixed cocktails. Oh, with her detox. Yeah, with her detox. And she had eaten a fairly decent breakfast as well.

So, yeah. She, okay. If you're going to do those detox things, first of all, not good for you. They just give you diarrhea. Second of all, finish that before you, don't be doing that right up to the wedding. Yeah. Stupid. Don't be following up an empty stomach with a hearty breakfast and cocktails.

Yeah. You little shitty, you pince. The substance that had come out apparently was slimy, oily, and stringy bits, consistency of hair gel. God, what did we need to know? I don't know, but I did. That's real sharp material there. Yeah, yeah.

That's real. I'm sick and I've trusted this. But this sounds real flash. They've got headsets and stuff, and that's a $12,000 dress. Did she not have, you know how some people do two dresses? Like a reception dress? If you spend $12,000 on a dress, you're wearing that all day, aren't you? Yeah.

Do you take it to the dry cleaners or do you just like? Burn it. Write it off. Well, you'd hose it down outside on the clothesline, wouldn't you? And then take it to the dry cleaners. Yeah. I don't know. Because you know,

some people do those swimming things in their wedding dresses. So that would explain the wetness. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably not the lingering brown stain. Nothing a bit of nappy sand in an overnight soak won't fix. You've just got to find a bucket

big enough to squish a wedding dress into. Yeah, take it to mum's house. She can get everything out. All right. Your mother doesn't. Flesh, Vaugh take it to mum's house. She can get anything out. Alright, you're sure your mother doesn't? Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. We always talk

about seagulls stealing your chippies at the beach. It's kind of like... And your mini dogs. Your mini dogs? Oh my god, Gizmo! Never forget Gizmo. The dog that was... Is there any updates on Gizmo? Stolen by a seagull in the UK. By a big seagull. By a big se? Stolen by a seagull in the UK.

By a big seagull. By a big seagull. Methy seagull. So there's nothing more kiwi than this story. In fact, our scientists looked into this. They have figured out how to stop seagulls from stealing your snacks. And it's so good. Do you want to have all we guess?

Because you're just not going to guess it. Is it eat your fish and chips under a blanket I mean that could work But then they're just going to prowl around They'll be there when you get out of your blanket They can smell them Can they smell Or do they just see them They have holes in their beak right

Yeah yeah yeah Birds Surely they've got something Breathe When they're scooping out of water or something? What have you got? Well, most birds seem to lack much power of smell. There are some groups of birds that can locate food using their olfactory glands.

Is that a seagull? Seabirds. So research into bird sensors has shown that vultures, seabirds, kiwis and parrots have well-developed glands. Oh, right. Giving them, kiwis and parrots have well-developed glands. Oh, right. Giving them the sense of smell and taste. So the kiwi can smell that hoo-hoo grub. Because birds not all, I knew not all birds could taste because that's like, you know how chillies are like insanely hot.

Yeah. But they've still got lots of seeds inside them. Yeah. So they grew, they developed that defence mechanism so things around wouldn't eat them but birds could so then they'd fly away and spread it far and wide. Right. Okay.

So the way to stop birds, seagulls, from getting your snacks is a staring contest. What? They literally did a study and the birds will stop if you stare and look them dead in the eye. So you've got to take time out from your romantic fish and chips on the beach. And just look at them. Just stare longingly into a squirrel's eyes.

They won't come at you if you're staring at them in the eye. How interesting. But is it because your eyes have got the sparkle, you know the old hang a CD in the fruit tree and the birds won't eat the fruit? Well, I guess it's just because you're a predator and they can see that you see them. And they're scared of you. Right.

Maybe. I don't know. And you're bigger than them and you're eyeing them up like you're going to do something. They literally sat on a beach and they said, if you keep eye contact with the birds, it can delay the attack of up to 20 seconds. Which is enough to eat.

I could eat four chips in that time. Yeah. Oh, easy. Dude, double. I could probably eat. I'd just put all four in my mouth at once. Yeah, good call. Yeah.

Good call. So just think about that. I mean, we're not too far away from spring. Chippy's on the beach time. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning.

The story was massive yesterday. The story of 19 packages of cocaine washing up on a West Auckland beach. 19? Having the street value of approximately $3 million. They were each the size of a VHS tape. We need a new size comparison because people under 25 can't remember what VHS tapes were. A Harry Potter book. Yeah, like a book.

Pretty good. A book. One of those Bibles you get in a motel. No, they're bigger than that. A Gidgen's Bible. Aren't they little? No, they can be little. Oh, okay, so that changes. I think a Harry Potter Bible. Aren't they little? No, they can be little. Oh, okay.

So that changes. I think a Harry Potter book. Not as thick as a Harry Potter book. Oh, okay. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Oh, I know. The size of one of those diamond rice risotto mixes. Pretty good.

Pretty good. Yeah. Two packs of instant noodles end to end. Right, side to side. Right, side to side. In domain or magic? Yeah. to end. Side to side. And Demay or Maggi? Either or. One of each.

One of each just to make sure that we don't pick a favourite. Okay. So these were bundled up, found by locals out for a walk on Bethel's Beach in West Auckland. A beach that I will frequent with my family and dogs. Yeah, right. We go out there all the time for a walk along there. And now it's turned into this landing for drugs. Yeah.

They've got some insignia on the outside, some barnacles on a few of them. So they may have been floating for a little while. How long does it take a barnacle to get on something? It doesn't take long. Oh, really? No, it doesn't take long. But they get on them and they stay on them pretty quick. Okay.

So, yeah, found there on Bethel's Beach. So the top six thoughts we all had when we heard about the cocaine on the beach story. Number six. How many really washed up? Because it says 19 were handed in, but how many really, like, how many washed up? Yeah. And how many people are going down yeah for a look yeah 19 it's just a weird number you think it was 20 yeah number five on the list of the top

six things we all thought when the cocaine on the beach story broke would i have handed it all in? What do I have? Huh. Something to consider. There's this Netflix doco. I think it's like an hour or a bit long. It's called Cocaine Island. It's about this guy that finds washed up coke,

a bundle of cocaine on this little island of Puerto Rico. Yeah. He buries it. And anyway, years later, he's telling all these people,

oh yeah, I've buried all this coke. I know exactly where it is. And it's just this comedy of errors that follows. So the guy who said he buried it goes back to find it? No. Some other people go back. Ah.

Why did he bury it? Because I guess he was like, well, I'll just bury this for a rainy day or something. I don't know. Maybe he'll get it later. Yeah, maybe. Like bury treasure like pirates. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's not going can get it later. Yeah, maybe. Like bury treasure like pirates. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's not going to

set the world on fire, this doco, but it's interesting. Yeah. Well, it's not funny. It's more just, well. Because what are the people going to do with the cocaine

if they find it? They're on camera. Yeah, exactly. Okay. It's worth a watch. Number four on the list of the top six things we all thought

when the cocaine on the beach story broke yesterday. Does cocaine have an expiry date? Does it go off? Because I looked up, it says it takes more than six months for a barnacle to attach and then form. So that's been at sea for a little while. But like, what if you're a barnacle? Yeah.

You're a go-getter, but you're a go-getter. You're a go-getter barnacle. So you're on like the HNZM-S Canterbury or whatever, the frigate. And then you're like, you know what? I don't want to be on this boat anymore. And I'm just like, I'm going to detach. I don't think you detach. I think you live there until you're removed.

You shoot your... But I'm a go-getter. I'm a go-getter barnacle. A go-getter barnacle on this stage would be a hyper-reproducer. Like you'd shoot off your little barnacle spores. Is that how they do it? I believe so. And then those float around and then just... I thought they just could be like,

I'm getting off this frigate. I'm gonna go on this package of cocaine. They start as larvae and then they develop into the hard, crusty things. So you spit it out. Larvae? If I don't find one of those in a burger one day. But did they grow faster because they were like...

Because they were on coke. Yeah. Guys, I don't know. Should we all just grow? Should we all just grow? I'll grow. I'll grow. Give me some more.

Number three on the list of the top six things we all thought when cocaine on the beach story broke yesterday. Would you keep cocaine in a cupboard or the fridge? Because it's like, Is it like tomato sauce? Because that's a personal choice, really, isn't it? And chocolate. You know some people don't keep the chocolate in the fridge. We talked about this.

Do you keep it in the pantry? Oh, yeah, I always keep it in the fridge. Always in the fridge. Pantry. No, it goes all hard and weird in the fridge. You know, that's how I like it. Hard and weird. Vaughan Smith, that's why I like it. Hard and weird. Vaughan Smith,

that's on his tombstone. That's why I'm a go get a barnacle. Vaughan Smith, go get a barnacle. Loves it hard and weird. In fact, if you do a bit of that on my tombstone,

I'll make sure in my will there's no disputing it. Number two on the list of the top six things we all thought when the cocaine on the beach story broke yesterday. Can you Google

how to sell coke without sending off the internet police? Like, is there an easy like, so you stumbled across some cocaine and you want to sell it. Here's the five easy steps.

I think it's the combination of handing in 19 packets and Googling how to sell coke. But if you're going to Google this, you're not even handing in any. Oh, yeah, true. I'd go round to my friend Vaughan's house

and Google it. Yeah. That's what I was thinking. That crossed my mind about that. Like, I've been like, at work, can I borrow your computer for a minute? With someone who's got like a permanent desk. Yeah, yeah.

And they're logged on and then they're like, yeah, sure, I was just going to go get a coffee. I was like, I just need to print something off. And they're like, that's fine. And then they come back and look in their history and it's all like, how to be a drug dealer. And number one on the list of the top six things we all thought when the cocaine on the beach story broke yesterday.

How much coke do I need to have to get a house? And can I just swap it directly with the real estate agent? Probably, actually, depending on which real estate agent. Yeah, I was going to say that. You still love a bit of it, eh? Yeah, they party hard, don't they? You find someone in the finance sector that enjoys cocaine, if you really looked hard enough, the only people that can

afford cocaine, the people that deal with all the money. That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Had an interesting situation happening yesterday so you might remember with my cafe, we started a little thing. Our cafe. Our cafe.

Not me, you and you. My husband and I's cafe. We started a thing called suspended coffees so you can pay for an extra coffee, you will then hold on to it and give it to someone who needs it. For whatever reason. You'd put the receipt up on the board. With the name of the person that gave the coffee. And then so if someone came in and they were having a bad day, you'd just be like, hey,

here's a free coffee. Yeah. It's a good idea. When I was last in your cafe, there was heaps of them on the wall. How many did you add to it? Well, none. But I said, can I have one of those for free? And she's like, no, you don't deserve it.

I was like, you're so rude to me. And she still won't give me a discount. So I need to wonder what this friendship is. I gave you a rocky road once. That's enough. Yeah, you don't deserve it. I was like, you're so rude to me. And she still won't give me a discount. So I need to wonder what this friendship is. I gave you a rocky road once. That's enough. Yeah, but I worked for you for free. So the idea is that on our, you know, people can't just come in and demand a coffee.

If they're going through a rough situation, like someone's car broke down right outside and they were late for work, so we gave them coffee. It just depends on the situation. But I honestly, when we started this, didn't expect so work so we gave them coffee. It just depends on the situation. But I honestly when we started this didn't expect so many people to give a coffee. I thought there might be like two or three at any given time.

So there was a huge amount of receipts for these coffees and we thought instead of just having them there, it's more than we could give away. We'll take the monetary value and give it to some cause. A charitable donation. Yeah.

So on behalf of everyone who donated the coffee. So we gathered it up and we've actually, we bought some stuff, some breakfast foods for the Salvation Army up the road because they said when we called them, that's what they needed for kids and families, breakfast food. Right. Now, we put it online because I also wanted people to know where all those coffees had suddenly gone because people donate them with a cause in mind. They don't want to suddenly see that their coffee's disappeared. You have a right to tell them where it's gone. So, yeah, we put up a story saying this is where the money's gone.

On your behalf, we donated it. And I didn't expect the fallout. Why was there fallout? So a lot of people were very upset with the choice of charity. The Sallys. Because they're religious, maybe. That they don't have a great track record in the past with the LGBTQ plus community.

Right. And so they said that we would have been better putting our donation somewhere else. Which, well, my response was that we actually, I actually have some family in the Salvation Army and despite the, whatever the past may be, that doesn't represent the views of everyone in the Salvation Army. I know that for a fact.

Right. And I just thought it's more about the end game. There's a lot of people that rely on the help of the Sallys. What do you then say to them that you're going to cut it off, cut off that help because you don't agree with. You're a rogue, outspoken minority people. But I also just felt a bit like you can't agree with... Of a few rogue, outspoken, minority people. But I also just felt a bit like you can't win in this day. You did a nice thing and everyone jumped on you.

Well, I don't want the praise because it was the community. We wanted to, when we started the cafe, we wanted to do a whole community vibe. So we want everyone to feel like they're bettering the little patch of earth around them. So it's actually, it was all our customers that did that. But I was just like, man, really? It blows my mind when you try to help in any way.

Like when we went to Cambodia and learned about like water and how these kids don't have water and the amount of people that were like, well, what about kids in New Zealand? They're struggling too. I was like, what are you doing? But then I tried to, we, tried to do the local thing and couldn't win either.

So I'm just about, I just want to say that if people are just doing their best to try and help someone around them, give them a break. Because if we all just tried to do something a little bit nice each day, maybe that would...

What is the latest? Because I saw you looking up before about the Salvation Army and the... Well, I also, I have read that they have acknowledged that they've had issues in the past and they have worked with Rainbow Youth to try and better themselves. So I think acknowledgement is always the first step. At least they're not in denial that they've had issues in the past. Right.

So. If you're not going to give somebody a chance to prove that they've become a better person or organisation, maybe you're the bad guy. That's very beautiful, Warren. Maybe you're the bad guy. Did you read that somewhere? No.

Well, bad guy just played by Billie Eilish. That's maybe why I went a bit deeper when I said Bad Guy. Duh. Duh. There's more stats this time out of the UK. It involves millennials. They

are a million more millennials in fact are living with their parents than 15 years ago. A million more., in fact, are living with their parents than 15 years ago. A million more. Because it's so crazy expensive? Yeah. The housing crisis over there as well. So that means a quarter of people aged 20 to 34, 3.4 million people are living with

their parents. We talked about another study a week or so ago, same thing. I haven't had teenage daughters yet, but as a parent now, I want them to stay. I know, but don't you get to a point where they're just adults and they just need to do their own thing? Yeah, sure. Totally.

But then if they were out and you saw that they were living in some like shabby, yuck place. Yeah, true. I'd always be like, come home. Come home. You come home to dad. Even though you lived in the absolute... I will let you choose. I know. You lived in a

conservatory. Let's never forget the time Vaughan Smith lived in a conservatory in Hamilton to save money. Yeah, I know. But was it sunny? It was very hot, Megan. It was very, very, very warm. You can see why they put plants in there to grow. They would love it.

Sloths, that's confusing because they're very hairy. I don't know why they love the Amazon and such humidity like that, but goodness me. But you'd want them to live at home. Yeah. Well, at this stage. We'll quote you at this stage, yeah. Come on, Molly.

I'll let you choose what temperature we put the air conditioning on. Please. Well, I did love that there's 2.1 million young men living with mum and dad, but there's 1.3 million young women living with, so it's definitely more guys because, you know,

mum does everything for their wee man, don't they? Little man. Yeah, my wee son. My little man. Internanya, you've moved out of the parents Yeah. My wee son. My little man. And Ternania, you've moved out

of the parents' home. You're bucking the trend, the international trend, these figures out of Britain. How's it going in the new studio apartment with the boyfriend? It's good.

It's good. It's just taking some adjusting. How? Mum and Dad have a nice big house. It was a lot of space for the four of us.

That was cool. Whereas in the studio apartment, I always know where Andy is. We have not yet lost each other. Like, I can sit on the toilet and see him in the lounge if I left the door open. If I was in the shower, I could see him in the bedroom. Like, it's very intimate. It's like you were two canaries in an aviary, a roomy aviary, and then someone came into the pet store and bought you

and took you home into one of those little cages that they keep in the lounge. That makes me really sad. Yes. I mean, it's nice to have our own little cage. It's very nice. And that cage is pimped out with Kmart stuff, so that's cool. Yeah. But, yeah, no, it's just taking some adjusting.

Well, it'll either make or break you, right? Yeah. 100. And you can always crawl make or break you, right? 100. And you can always crawl back to mum and dad's. Exactly. For a bit of R&R. You can. You can go without them. Have we set this wager yet?

Oh, rude. I have a six-month lease and I am too much of a tight ass to get out of it. I'm putting my money on six months. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. This might be odd to me because I'm not on the dating app game at all. You've never, ever, ever been on a dating app. No, it scares me. Because you had Husband 1 and then Husband 2.

Yeah. And then never. And then dating apps came on. Yeah. It scares me. The whole swiping thing scares me. Having to meet up with a stranger and then talk to them scares me. Scares you.

So I don't want it to sound like I'm judging people who do this, but I did find it interesting that some analytics have come out and there are a lot of people paying for Tinder. So there's a free version. You always wonder, yeah, because there's Tinder Plus, and you're like, well, who's paying for this? So there's Tinder Plus and there is Tinder Gold, and they give you extra features.

So Tinder Gold, it says in this article it's $30 a month. I don't know if that translates to New Zealand, but it does depend on multiple factors as well. So it gives you extra features like one called Likes You, which it gives you a list of people who have swiped right. So instead of aimlessly swiping, you'll just get a list of people who... Who are keen on you,

who have swiped you. So they've done all the work. Okay, great. And then you just go through and you're like... Yeah. And then Tinder Plus, you get extra super likes and you get boosts.

So just like on Trade Me, you can boost your profile and more people will see it. Or you come up in capital letters. So just like on Trade Me, you can boost your profile and more people will see it. Or you come up in capital letters with bold, like in Trade Me. Maybe, with a little frame around you or something. But yeah, lots of people are paying for it and it's only getting bigger. They have added 500,000 subscribers worldwide

in the last quarter and they've also said that 5 million people are paying for Tinder Gold or Tinder Plus. Wow. 5 million. That is insane. I'm just trying to Google a price for how much it costs in New Zealand. And I did know this. I've just found an article from the start of this year.

So they have a fee for users under 29, Tinder Plus or whatever, is different, is a cheaper price for users under 29. If you're 30 and over, it's double. And somebody, a whole bunch of people... Is that fair? But that's like girls' night. That's like girls' night. It's like girls get in free.

Yeah, girls get in free at girls' night. And guys have to pay. And then guys just go because they know that there's going to be girls because girls got in for nothing. But then this isn't saying girls are cheaper. This is saying anyone... But it's the age version

of that gender bias. Why don't people kick up more fuss about that? Well... It's just like... Girls night. Yeah.

And because we're dudes, we just want... You literally have no idea. We want to get away with that the other way around. Girls go to the ends of the earth for it. Like, why do you think

Sreedman Hillaroo really climbed Everest? To impress a girl. 100%. It wasn't because it was there. He just got back down and they're like, why'd you think Sreedman Hillary really climbed Everest? To impress a girl. 100%. It wasn't because it was there. He just got back down and they're like, why'd you do it? And he was like, for a girl? Would have sounded weird. Yeah, yeah.

So California, some people in California sued Tinder. They settled and paid out a whole lot of people. Really? I don't know if they paid out in Tinder money or money, but anyway, it's illegal in California, but outside of California, they'll still charge you if you're over 30. Because no one's

kicked up a fuss about it yet. Double. Well, no one's, yeah, but they did get sued for discrimination, for age discrimination. And it's totally ageist, because what's the other reason? They know that people who are older potentially have more to spend. Disposable income, and probably people are swiping less on them. So they're going to spend the money.

I had a couple of texts on it. Oh, yeah, okay. Tinder Plus changed the game. It's way easier, says one person. Somebody said, I pay $32.99 a month or $128 every six months. Okay. It's shit. Lol.

So I don't know if they mean it's not worth the money or it's just shit that they have to pay. Oh, yeah. Yeah, right. Okay. Well, if the app is shit, then you definitely shouldn't be paying $128 every six months. Every six months. But you think about like,

sometimes I always find it weird. People are like, oh my God, I'm not paying $5 a month. Like when Netflix went up. Yeah. $4 a month. People are like,

I refuse to pay $4 more a month. Anyway, let's go get a coffee, and while I'm there, I'll probably get a slice. That's food. You can consume that. Oh, I know, but you can consume Netflix if you know what you're doing. Sit down, open your eyeballs, and let it flow straight in. I sure hope this prerecorded 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, Vaughan and Megan podcast. You can grab Spark's $29 prepaid rollover packs and get stacks of extra value. Back to the podcast. Vaughan's got a weird relationship with his lawyer that we need to talk about. It is a bit weird.

I'm just reading back on some of the emails. It's a bit weird, but I like it. He seems to like it, so I think we'll carry on. How are you going to start and explain this? I don't know how I'll start with this. I don't know. Got a lawyer. Good dude. Because you need to if you're

going to do property when you bought your place. Yeah, you've got to have a lawyer for a whole bunch of stuff. So got this lawyer. Good guy. Have known him for a few because we built our house through him. So we've known him for ages. And it just so happened one day when we went into his office, we arrived and he was like, how are you guys?

And I said, well, I don't know if you've noticed, Colin, but I am feeling and looking particularly cute today. And it tickled his fancy no end that this guy in his 30s who looked like and continues to look like partly homeless and the other part hot mess referred to himself as looking and feeling pretty cute. Right. How old is he?

How old is his lawyer, Colin? I don't know. 50s? 60s? Maybe. If he's in his 60s, it would be very early 60s. Okay. So, yeah, that just tickled his fancy no end.

Right. And so then when he sent an email, he finished with, like, blah, blah, blah. Here is all the details. P.S. How cute are you looking today on a scale of one to 10 or something like that? And so I replied saying, Colin, you cheeky beggar. Of course, it's a straight 10 and he loved it.

So now it's gotten to the stage where, oh, and this is the other thing. I sent emails to him. I'm like, yo, Colin. And then ask a question. And he's like, no one ever emails me starting with yo, yo, Colin. And I'm like, well, that's us now. That's how we start our emails. So the email's always like, yo, Colin. Yep. Before you ask, pretty cute today. Hard to do in this weather because it's been very windy,

but I'm still managing to keep the cute at a straight 10. And he always loves it. He always replies with something about the cute and signs off we've got like a cheers bro at the end and stuff yeah and yeah he said i've just no i don't have any of this is the most informal relationship i had with a client with a client um so anyway why he he sent an email the other day and it's literally started with yo cutie and then i forgot and forwarded it to my accountant and also my mother-in-law and her partner because they were involved so they had to look over it and they were both like, what's going on? Because when I forwarded them,

it forwarded them the whole correspondence. Yeah, right. And it started with, hey, yo, Colin, quick question, blah, blah, blah. Yours, cutie, Vaughn. And so we talked about this because I was laughing yesterday. What if this ever had to be read out in court? Well, I talked to Colin yesterday on the phone and we did talk about this and he said he is worried that one day if it had to be read out in court,

how awkward it would be for our wives to both be there. It's the really gross one. It's between a lawyer and his client. There's stuff like, yo, yep, before, I know what you're going to ask, Colin, and yes, I am looking pretty cute today, so let's get down to business, because that's what it's always like.

Bit of like banter about being cute and then hard business questions. Imagine the person having to read it out stoically. Yo, yes, I am looking rather cute today. Particularly, client then refers to himself as an 11 out of 10 on the cute scale today. A rare occurrence. But, you know, I'm not changing it. No, no, right.

We've decided that that's us. Your wife knows that you guys talk like that to each other, right? Yeah, well, she knows. Her mother knows. But she tells you off, though, doesn't she? Well, my wife's always got a problem. Shade's her name. I don't know why I just referred to her namelessly.

She doesn't like when I, because I put my first thoughts of the email in the subject line. Right. That drives her nuts. Oh, what are you doing? Especially at a professional level. Like a sentence. the email in the subject line. Right. That drives her nuts. Oh, what are you doing? Especially at a professional level. Like a sentence. Yeah, yeah, because it's like if I email Colin and it would be about like when we're buying our property,

it would be like the sales and purchase agreement. You put like sales and purchase agreement in the subject. Yeah. But I put something like, yo, Colin, cutie here, and then that's in the subject. Oh, no, that goes in the message. I know it goes, well, that's what she always says. So I think she's more upset with the bad sort of etiquette I have

with the use of subject rather than how I refer to myself as cute to our lawyer. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Celebrity Trezor Island. Celebrity. Celebrity Trezor Island. And also I think before you're like Who? Who? These aren't celebrities I don't know who that person is

That's on you to google their name A bit more Because they're obviously on there because they've Represented New Zealand in sports or they have An online following or they have a job Of some profile Don't be that person it's a classic And also I've done it in the past

on previous like celebrity based things. Oh, hardly. I've just decided they don't need that. Now that we know the people on there. Now that it's one of our friends, we're not going to put up with it. We're all learning. We can better ourselves. Let's not be those people.

So Celebrity Treasure Island starts soon. It's hosted by our very own Brie and Matt Chisholm, who hosted Survivor. And basically two teams of celebrities are marooned on an island and fight it out to the death. And I believe they have to eat... It's marooned where Maroon 5 drops you off on a bike.

Yes, it is. And challenges, and then I believe there's only one celebrity at the end of it that wins. Yes. So they're eliminations. Eliminations. Yeah. And very exciting.

It starts soon. Well, the trailer, is that, it looks like it's been shot amazingly. I remember the original one was pretty, like, shoestring budget, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, handheld. Yeah. Handheld VHS cameras and stuff. Although I do remember an exploding treasure chest. Yeah, they had explosions.

It was excitement. That's where all the budget went. So it doesn't start this Sunday, it starts next Sunday. Yes. TV NZ 2.

So the trailers have started coming out. We had the teaser trailer where you couldn't really see the faces. Then you saw some more faces and then they were pulling things out of sound.

Now we're starting to get what they call the personality trailers. I'm going to play you the full trailer now but then we'll focus in on one bit of the trailer. Go!

16 Kiwi legends. A group of people that don't like to lose. It's going to go down. Face off for the ultimate prize. $100,000 of Barry Cash. It's going to get dirty. Is this dude playing us? Brutal.

I don't need to prove myself to Barbara Kim. And it'll be legendary. It's going to be one hell of a ride. Celebrity Treasure Island starts Sunday, August 18 on 2. Wow. Okay, so. Oh, Matthew. We're friends with Maddie McLean, who's on Celebrity Treasure Island.

We've had him on the show a bunch. Genuinely. I would say there's on air or off air to anybody, one of the nicest people you'll ever, terrible at replying to text messages. Awful. Awful. Worse than me.

Awful at answering his phone. Awful. Awful. Worse than me? Yeah, 100%. Okay, good. But also a huge reality fan has seen every episode of Survivor. It's very competitive.

So last night when I saw that trailer and his line is, have you got his line? Yeah. I cited there. Brutal. I don't need to prove myself to Barbara Keen. Buddy. I was honestly like, I admit it.

He's crying. Buddy. Crying. I don't need to prove myself to Barbara Kendall. Buddy. Who is a windsurfer? Is she a windsurfer? Yeah, she was a gold medalist winning.

I remember growing up, she was like famous. Bruce and Barbara Kendall were like this brother, sister. They were brother and sister, right? I don't know. They're not married. No, no, no. They were brother and sister. But he had brown hair and she had blonde hair.

That was... Well, confusing for you. Yeah. But then I was brown-haired and my brother and sister were both blonde, so I don't know how the... Bruce. The Kendall jump was so far. Yeah, her older brother.

Older brother. By three years, Bruce. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was this sport kids called windsurfing. Hard to explain. It looks ridiculous. But it was massive in the 80s and early 90s.

Yeah, Bruce is an Olympic gold medalist. She was as well. Yeah. And two-time Anthony Bruce. Yeah, okay, Barbara. I feel like she did it once with like a broken windsurfer or something was really wrong and she still got a bronze and that was like this big hero moment.

Right. For New Zealand. Well, it sounds like, but Maddie says he doesn't need to prove himself to Barbara Kendall. Maybe Barbara's real competitive and gave him a talking to. She's not out there to lose, is she?

No. I feel like even though Maddie's done so many great things, I feel like this quote might be his defining quote of his career. I don't need to prove myself to Barbara Kimberley. Matty stood in front of Parliament and delivered

a beautiful piece on marriage equality. Yes, he did. And was eloquent and wonderful and represented a great point of view in many people in the country. But he didn't need to prove himself to buddy i would never go on a show like this like you're crying and oh you just get people just gonna

rip you don't like being vulnerable maddie's okay with being vulnerable he's okay that's very sweet it's a very endearing quality 100 but you don't like it, Fletch. Vulnerability. Fletch, no. Fletch doesn't like showing vulnerability. What? I don't need to prove myself to you or Barbara Kendall, okay? We would totally have him on the phone, but he's... He's in Sri Lanka, isn't he? Yeah. Proving himself to Barbara Kendall that he could get to Sri Lanka.

She actually said, Matty, I bet you can't solve Sri Lanka's internal turmoil. Well, well. And he's like, I bloody can. We'll get him on the show when he gets back. Celebrity's Church of Ireland,

not this Sunday, next Sunday. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Some Christchurch friends ended up having to go to court as their relationship soured

after they bought a house together. So they bought the property, split the cost. They were going to have flatmates move into the other rooms and help pay the costs and everything. Yeah, I know a few people that have done this. Well, it's an affordable way to get into it, isn't it? Yeah, you pull your money, get into it. But then, like, it's always tough because if you're, say, in your 20s

and then, like like you're two single guys or two single gals you do this then what if you meet someone then one of them wants out this happened to a friend of mine yeah they bought a um house with their mate johnny my friend yeah and and he always knew it was going to be coming though right always like but he's also significantly more level-headed than other people I know because even if you know it's coming

you're like, but not now. Oh, come on. Yeah. Here she comes, Yoko Ono. Breaking up the mortgage.

Breaking up the mortgage payments. So, yeah, this one's gone sour. Right. Apparently one of them buried his head in the sand

is what the judge ruled on it as. And one was, yeah, they were. What, just missed payments and stuff? That kind of. Naughtier. Right. Okay. Just dismissed a whole lot of stuff.

Because it's a big thing, getting a house. I could see so many problems. Even just if like one person wants to put money into like increasing the value and then... Like someone's like, well, maybe we should take care of the roof

before it becomes a bigger problem. And the other one's like, no, I don't have the money. I don't want to. Yeah, like that sort of stuff. That's got to be... You'd have to be

really good friends, I think, but even then, you wouldn't want to get involved. Or like one wants to have parties at the house all the time. Like, you don't want to...

Oh, yeah. I can see so many issues. But that's totally cool if it works for some people. And people would make it work. I think it would almost work better if you bought it but then neither of you lived there.

Yeah. And you rented it out. You bought it and you acted as like the joint landlords rather than the live-in owners. But that's why people do it because they don't want to

just keep renting. They want to actually get on the property ladder. Yeah. And you've got why people do it, because they don't want to just keep renting. They want to actually get on the property ladder. Yeah. And you've got to pay for your rent anyway, don't you? So you might as well flat together and live together. True. But yeah, it can go so wrong. But it doesn't have to be a house.

But we just want to know this morning what you went in on with some friends that maybe it didn't end well. Maybe it didn't go great. You laughed, but Andrew totally wanted to buy a jet ski with friends. And I was like, that's not happening. I'm not going to put my foot down too many times,

but I'm doing it. The amount of times that I have been talking with people and jet ski ownership as a joint thing came up, because they're like, you know who's crazy enough to want a jet ski? Vaughn Smith. He would too. He'd love nothing more than to chuck on some 1980s sunnies

with one of those hats with a flap on the back and blad around on a jet ski. You'd use it four times. I know. That's what I always say. I'm always like, someone's going to use it way more than the others. And plus, we don't need to go in for a jet ski because we've invited ourselves around to lovely Trentys.

Yeah, he's got two jet skis. Trent Bolt, he's got two jet skis. He's got two jet skis. Does he know that we're all coming? One-inch. Trenty doesn't get to come, but one-inch. He can go in the back of mine. He's in Sri Lanka at the moment.

Where's he in Sri Lanka at the moment? Oh, so no one's using the jet skis. Well, we could probably go down, yeah, next weekend. I'm not going on a jet ski in this weather. Okay, all right. We'll wait until he's back in summer. We'll head him up, like everybody else. Yeah, sure. Okay, so what have you wait until he's back in summer. We'll hit him up. Like everybody else. Yeah, sure.

Okay, so what have you gone in on with friends? Do we want to hear failures or do we want to hear successes as well? Anything, really. I mean, it's probably going to be more entertaining if it's a failure. Yeah. Okay, here's a question. Do girls ever go Harvey's in, say, a jacket or shoes? Like collective ownership of clothes. Not that I know of. a question. Do girls ever go Harvey's in, say, a jacket or shoes? Like, collective

ownership of clothes. Not that I know of. You just share because then, I don't know, if you bought it together, there would be arguments about who's wearing it more. For sure. And who would wear it if you were both going to an event. But maybe like a handbag, if there was a really, like,

spinny's handbag. But then, like you say, then who gets the ownership most of the time? Yeah and then like if you took it out at night you'd damage it and I don't know. Yeah. Alright 0800 NILES at M 9696 what did you fall out with a friend over when you went in maybe 50-50 or

some shared ownership? And it doesn't have to be a house. It could be like this one. Me and my friend once went half in a Macca's share box. Turned out really well. They had the Filet-O-Fish. Okay. I had the Quarter Pounder.

And then we got McFlurries after. So that's a nice story of friends going in on something and sharing it. I don't like Filet-O-Fishes. That's why you've got to find the friend that likes the Filet-O-Fish. But the thing is the Quarter Pounder is more of a burger than a Filet-O-Fish. You're getting more burger. That's not fair. It depends if you likes the Filet-O-Fish. But the thing is, a quarter pound is more of a burger than a Filet-O-Fish. You're getting more burger. That's not fair. It depends if you're a Filet-O-Fish fan.

You'll forego the extra. All right, give us a call. Talking about those times you've gone and purchased something, bought something with a friend. Maybe you've gone 50-50. Never with family. Many text messages coming in. Somebody said, I went halves on a dress with my sister.

I got to wear it the first time. Took very good care of it. Her first wear, she spilt Black Sambuca all over it. I'm going to night out. See, that's the issue. I insist that I'm being paid out for my full half. Yeah. See, if I was a sister, I would have worked

out the depreciation on that, especially now that it's covered in Black Sambuca. Tony, when did you have a, I would have worked out the depreciation on that, especially now that it's covered in black sandbucker. Tony, when did you have a falling out when you went in with friends? Oh, it was a few years ago now. My friends and I were at the park at a local garden and we came across an abandoned tent.

Okay. So we dismantled it, carried it back to the car and then a few weeks later we had this big fight over it. We didn't talk for months and months and months because we couldn't decide who owned the tent. Couldn't you just share it?

I imagine you're probably not going camping at the same time or without each other. Well, in a perfect world, just think about it. In a perfect world, too bad. I was going to decide how to share a tent. Tony, thanks for your call. Holly, what did you and your friend buy together and have a falling out over? When I was about 13,

me and my best friend went halves in the Wild Child DVD when it had first come out. The movie. Oh, no. So who got ownership? Well, she kept it at her house and then when I would ask to use it at my house, she would say, oh, I can't find the DVD or something like that,

and I never really got to use it. So we actually stopped being friends. Oh, my God. Wow. Oh, brilliant. Holly, thanks for your call. Sophie, what did you and your friend fall out over? Hey, so a friend of mine is a creative writer, thanks for your call. Sophie, what did you and your friend fall out over? Hey, so a friend of mine is

a creative writer, Tanya. Okay. And so she went in with one of her friends who's an artist on a kid's picture book. Oh, okay. Oh, that's like business. Yeah, yeah. Actual business to sell a book by her friend who did the artistry

just completely took it to a publisher behind her back and got it sold. She's probably not her friend who did the artistry, just completely took it to a publisher behind her back and got it sold. She's probably not her friend anymore, right? But, I mean, it's a good thing, though, right? Or did she not tell the publisher that she wrote it? No, she completely left Tanya's name off it. Oh, my God.

That's so bad. Goodness. And so did she got money for the book? She signed it up? Yeah, that's so bad. Mad. Goodness. And so did she got money for the book? She signed it up? Yeah, she completely sold it. And then my friend Tanya had to get lawyers involved. Wow. And that completely obviously ruined their friendship.

Did she end up getting money for it? Yeah, she ended up getting some compensation and a couple of copies, but not exactly what she wanted. A couple of copies. She knows how what she wanted. A couple of copies. She knows how the story ends. She wrote it. Oh, my God. Hey, thanks for your call, Sophie.

Some text messages in on the splitting something with your pals. 1997 was the year when my best mate and I went in halves on Alanis Morissette's album, Jagged Little Pill. What an absolute banger of an album. We had the CD and we each made a tape copy. Yeah. Classic.

But then we just argued over who listened to the CD more. Oh my God. Because we'd share that but you also had a tape, so. But then that was

the thing, I liked CD quality back then. Oh, and if it got a scratch. Oh, and don't bump the player. Yeah.

Yeah, because it'll skip. That was a thing. When I was 11, my best friend and I pulled our birthday monies from both of our birthdays to buy a Gem in the Holograms doll. It ended in disaster as she tried to tell me that she had given it to me for my month, but she bloody hadn't. I just knew she had hidden it and wanted to keep it for herself.

I told everyone that she was a lying sneak and we stopped being friends. Fast forward 30 years, mum just found the doll in an old box of toys. Oh my God. What do you do? I don't know. Do you reach out to that person? Do you try to find them on Facebook?

Nah, I just leave it. Imagine like you could have been amazing best friends to this day. They could have been your bridesmaid at your wedding, the godmother to this day. They could have been your bridesmaid at your wedding. The godmother to your child. Unless she came around and planted the doll in the box. Oh, that'd be her, the lying snake. That's actually what happened.

It probably is. No! Damn! Shoulder! This is going to be the best concert of the year. In 2018. We brought you Usher. What?

And 10 others for New Zealand's biggest throwback party. That is one hell of a concert. That's good. That is good. Now, it's time to reveal a line-up that totally eclipses last year. Yes, please. ZM presents... Friday Jams Live 2019.

Let's go! All right, we've been waiting so long to be able to tell you this line-up. I'm so glad it's going to be out in the open. It's been a really hard secret to keep. Sunday, November the 17th is when it is happening. So I don't know if you need to pre-plan some flights. The Monday off work. Oh, definitely.

Because without a doubt, Friday Jams Live is getting bigger and bigger each year. And this year, yeah, wow. Well, Western Springs Stadium again, but it is the largest stage in New Zealand, right? Yeah. Yeah. Just to hold everybody. Physically, it's size. So, there are some pre-sales which are happening this coming Monday,

And back for the third year in a row, hosting Friday Jams Live because he loves it so much, Fat Man Scoop. All right, let's find out who we're going to see on stage. Shut up! They're the second most downloaded act of all time. We've never broke up.

Oh, okay. We just took a break. For years. On November 17, you'll be screaming. That tonight's gonna be a good night. New Zealand, let's get it started. For the Black Eyed Peas. This is pretty cool.

This is pretty cool. Oh, I hope Apple De-Am wears his spaceman suit. Call on three questions. So many songs. I think Vaughn's secretly always wanted to be a Black Eyed Pea. Have I always wanted to be a Black Eyed Pea This is your favourite. Have I always wanted to be a black eyed pea? You secretly. I've got an official fan club membership.

They're going to be redeeming that for two hugs and a kiss when they're in town. Well, second most downloaded artists of all time. Wow. Because they hit that sweet spot of the 2000s before streaming. Yeah. But after CD sales. So many. They'll probably hold after CD sales. So many. They'll probably hold that title forever.

So many bangers. I saw them live at a big day out years ago, and it's such a good time. I can't wait to see them. And the Black Eyed Peas aren't even the headliner. More huge names to come. But first, joining them on stage. Everybody at Friday James Live

is going to be getting tipsy with J Quan. Oh my god. Didn't Kanye say this is his favourite song ever? Yeah. Oh my god. Making Friday James Live so scandalous. Cisco! Yes.

This was our first ever Friday flashback we did. The thong song. Only made it to number one in New Zealand. And the whole world. Now it's going to be live in the year 2000. And the Kiwi legend. Can you please give it up for Savage? I feel like we can't ignore Savage.

No. But he needs to be there. Yeah. Yes. Bangers. Wait, God, you forget how many bangers he has? Yeah. Secret sound.

I was like, I forgot this was a song. I was just saying this is the secret sound. And another to the line up. She started writing for Britney. It's Britney, bitch. Featured on tracks with Timbaland. Then made it big on her own. My name is Carrie.

On the Friday Jams live stage. Carrie Hilson. Take in the whole world. Oh stage, Kerry Hilson. Oh, I love that song. I forgot that was her. Oh, my anthem. I love this song. Yes, so Kerry Hilson.

She's on the line up. Shit, I love that energy song. Oh, I'd forgotten that even existed. That's the unofficial tagline for Friday Jams Live. Oh, I forgot this song even existed. I love it. Okay, so for those keeping score, Kerry Hilson, Savage, Sisqo, Jaquan, the Black Eyed Peas,

Fat Man Scoop hosting, already massive but there's still three more to be announced. You know his name. Oh. Hello. Back in New Zealand. And this time on the biggest stage in the country.

Jason Arlo. Has he got enough help backstage? What, like backup dancers? No, just general help. Right. Anything he needs. Megan once again putting her hand up to host Friday Jams Live this year. I'm a bit sweaty.

But there's just so many artists. We're not even done yet. No. Also, this is the guy I thought would have just been, like, too busy. Yeah. Because he's in Cats and... Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Turns out not. Jason Derulo actually spelled D-E-S-R-O-U-E-L-E-A-U-X because his parents are from Haiti and so it's French but he was just like no one's going to be able to spell that.

Just made it Derulo. Well it said the same except now it's spelled differently. Oh right. And also way easier to fill on that New Zealand arrivals form

when he's here for Friday Jams. Yeah. Well Jason Derulo on the line lineup for Friday Jams Live. Is that big enough? Should we stop there? I reckon that's plenty. Or should we add Megan? Let's add more.

Add more? Add more. Add more? Add more? It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's from the East Coast.

It's going down, you heard me? One of the world's best-selling rappers. His mum calls him Curtis, but he prefers to go by that other motherfucking B-I-M-B. No. Oh, my God. No way.

Oh, my God. Hey, what's up? Yo, this see 50 Cent live. How cool is this? Oh my God. No, no, we're going to call it. I'm going to play it cool from now on. We're going to call it down.

You're going to get a clear schedule. This was so, oh my God. Oh, man. I'm so excited. Okay, so that's already looking pretty huge. 50 Cent. We haven't even announced the headliner. Hold on to your knickers, girls.

You thought 50 Cent was big. Yeah. Should we do one more? 35 worldwide top tens. No way! No! You're joking. Five Grammys. This is going to be the best concert of the year.

I want to sing, I want to dance. And one of the biggest selling artists of all time. Oh my gosh. Damn! ZM's Friday Jams Live Headliner. She. How is she coming here? She is incredible.

Has she even been here before? She's massive. Say it. Janet Jackson. Wow. She's literally like wrapping up her Vegas residency. Yeah. Probably having a smidge of R&R

and then coming out for Friday Jams Live. Janet Jackson. You've already said Jackson live at Friday Jams Live. That's insane. That's crazy. I honestly thought we were, someone was playing a joke when they said that that was happening. Yeah.

So Janet Jackson. Wow. 50 Cent. Wow. The Black Eyed Peas. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Black Eyed Peas. Jason Derulo. Yeah.

Kerry Hilson. Savage, Cisco, Jaquan, and hosted by Fat Man Scoop. So many number ones, so many hits, and, you know, Friday Jams Live is getting bigger and better every year. The atmosphere last year, just the whole day, it was an amazing vibe. You are not going to want to miss Friday Jams Live this year, happening the 17th of November. It's a Sunday.

I actually don't think I can host Live this year, happening the 17th of November. It's a Sunday. I actually don't think I can host it this year because I don't think I can physically introduce 50 Cent. Because you'll be a mess. Or Janet Jackson. I know.

on sale Monday the 19th of August at midday. ZM Online for all of those details. So Friday Jams Live. But if you need to start booking flights, accommodation to get to Auckland, do that now because this is going to be huge. You've been told. You've been told.

Friday Flashback. Flashback, flashback. And it's my pick for Friday Flashback. So, I mean, we've got to do an artist from Friday Jams Live. And I have decided we will do a Janet Jackson song. Seeing as she is the headliner for Friday Jams Live. I'm going with one of her songs from 1997. I know what it is.

I know what it is. It's a good choice. It's a good choice. It's a good choice. Are we happy? Well, this song was pretty much either one, two, three or four everywhere in the world. In New Zealand, actually only went to five. Did it?

Probably, like, yeah. Pretty much. It was one of her biggest songs. Yeah. Just going to kick it off. I don't really know what else to say It just feels like we've just had 10 minutes of pure excitement And teasing you with little clips

Yeah So, playing at Friday Jams Live Janet Jackson, it's your Friday flashback today From 97 together again On set M today from 97, Together Again, on ZM.

I think, you know what, I think we do.

I think we do. Shall I read what people have been saying about your choice for Friday flashback? Okay. And Friday Jams thus far. Is it good for once? You know, you've redeemed yourself. Somebody said you've redeemed yourself. Now, here's the thing about the Friday Jams lineup.

We've heard from like on the text machine alone about seven women who are due with babies around that time. The week before or the week after their due date's fallen too and they are so upset. Livid. They're livid at their unborn children. Should we just think about how we can help have a crèche or a bassinet section? Because you know how gyms every now and then have like a place where you can put your babies

like a locker or something yeah can you take a one week hold to a concert it's not recommended no not recommended at all no

maybe induce labour a couple of weeks before and then leave it with mum but one of those C-sections that Hollywood stars get yeah yeah I don't know

about that either because then you've got a C-section so you'll be still recovering from that at the time of. But people are fizzed about Janet Jackson, the Friday flashback. Amazing. I'll claim that.

People are saying, yeah, dead cane. Somebody cried with excitement. Somebody said they never thought they'd see Janet Jackson live, that wanted to go to a Vegas residency. But as we said, that ends. Yeah, I think she ends in the end of August. End of August. Yeah.

And so they were ready to write off ever seeing her live, but now she's coming to us. So Janet Jackson, 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas, Jason Derulo, Kerry Hilson, Cisco, Savage, Jay Kwan, and again, hosted by Fat Man Scoop. Wow. It's an incredible lineup. So ticket details.

Flights, that kind of thing. He's a planner, can you tell? November. If you need to get that Monday off work, get in quick and do that. Flights, that kind of thing. He's a planner, can you tell?

I am a planner. I'm straight in there. You should run a Wendy Woo Friday Jams tour. Oh my God, you should. You go down to Christchurch and you hold out a sign and you meet everyone at the airport and you shake their hands and then you get on the plane with them. And then when you get to there, you're like,

I'll get the minivan, everyone grab your bags and wait here. That's so much anxiety and stress if I had to do that for a whole group of people. I was going to say you found your calling after this ends, but maybe not. Imagine yelling at a bunch of middle-aged women in China. Where the hell's Susan? Oh, my God. Susan! Susan!

Has anyone seen a white woman? Susan! No, bugger it. No, she had a chance. We're going home. We go back. We leave Susan in China. Leave her on the Great Wall.

It's Susan versus Beijing. Now, bugger it. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Hello. Yesterday, I got a little notification on Twitter. Now, this is weird that you're still on Twitter. Now, this is weird. That you're still on Twitter. Oh, that I'm still on Twitter, but I don't use it very often at all.

I've got a Twitter and I haven't used it forever because it's such a hateful place and it's so negative. Unless there's breaking news, I might log on. But I don't have the app on my phone. And I was thinking maybe I should just shut it down. You last used Twitter on the 9th of September 2018. You asked Air New Zealand if they were aware of a bug in your app where the AirPoints card will disappear and reappear at random. Yeah, and they helped me out.

They helped me out. I love that that's your last tweet. No, because I couldn't use my card when I was, like, trying to get some AirPoints. And then, no, they replied and actually helped them out and fixed the bug on that one, actually. So having a whinge. What's my last tweet?

I don't even know. I don't think I can log back into it. I think I've forgotten my password. Prior to that, you tweeted on the 14th of November 2017, halfway to Waiheke in my aluminum dinghy with a large steel spoon eating yogurt and start getting all these lightning warnings. Great.

What the hell? What is going on? Stop trolling. Stop scrolling through my Twitter trying to find something controversial. But I will be deleting all of my tweets. Okay, what about you, Megan? What was your...

Oh, my last... I hear you. My last one was a selfie. You're Megan Sellers. I know. I tried to change that, but... They won't let you. I can't log in.

Okay. Well, why are we talking about Twitter? You literally put up a photo with John Lee who played Lionel Skiggins and you put, I found Lionel. Wow. That was your... Good stuff, good stuff. So I got a notification.

So I went in and I'd received a DM. Okay, direct message. The original DMs. Yep. And it was from Malok Abedielaziz. Okay. And I was like, goodness me, and it was all in French. Bonjour, monsieur.

Okay. Je vous rappelle un sujet de Julien Assange. Ça sentait ses conditions de détention. Il commentait et il est rat. I'm so sorry for all the French people. Juliana Sarsante says conditions de detention et comment et et est trat

ne c'est non so sorry for all the French people I never did I never did

French at all I did in third but I've watched Ratatouille five times so I believe I'm somewhat close enough yeah

merci and c'est vous merci c'est vous aziz de

informations question mark zos so I went through Google I went to Google You can do better than me. Merci. C'est vous. Aux es des informations? Question mark. Zos. Okay, can you run this? So I went through Google. I went to Google and I put in French to English. Okay. And it came up, so I pasted that in there.

And it said, hello, sir. Okay. I remind you about Julian Assange, his health, his conditions of detention, and how he is treated? Thank you if you have information just to support him. And I was like, ah wrong Vaughan Smith. As there is a Vaughan Smith who

is really good friends with Julian Assange. Wanted WikiLeaker. WikiLeaks founder. He was in the Ecuadorian embassy forever wasn't he? And then they kicked him out because they got sick of him. And where is he now? He's in detention.

Has he been held in an English prison? And the US want to extradite him. Yeah. But Vaughan Smith, Henry Smith is his name, but he goes by Vaughan because that's a bit more... Why would you? Jazzy. Yeah. He is a restaurateur, a sustainable farmer, and a freelance video journalist.

He ran a news agency called Frontline News. Okay. And he's a former army officer journalist and right-wing libertarian. Oh, okay. But he's a mate of Julian Assange's, apparently. And Julian Assange, like, stated his house and stuff. So this guy thinks you're Julian Assange's face mate? I'm a 56-year-old British man.

Is this a worry? You don't want some kind of government agency coming after you, trying to sniper you, and they turn up to your lifestyle block and they're like, well, they said he was a farmer. Sustainable farmer. He's got chickens. But then they'll just say I'm burning all the cardboard

that I can't be bothered squeezing into the recycling bin. They'll be like, that's not very sustainable. Cancel the op. Cancel the assassination. We might have the wrong guy. And I'm out just like hammering something and then this bullet just hits the thing beside me. I'm like, well, that's not good.

Am I about to be assassinated? You've got the wrong Vaughan Smith. So now I don't know do I reply to the guy and the wrong Vaughan Smith. So now I don't know to reply to the guy and say wrong Vaughan Smith or just leave it. What's French for wrong? Well, I've got the English

to French translator that it's going French to English. I click this button. I feel like you've got the wrong guy. Can you just like Google, is Yoplait French for yogurt actually? Okay, stand by.

I'll put Yoplait. Was it French for yogurt or French for yum? What was the ad? Yoplait. French for yogurt. I'm pretty sure they yogurt Was it French for yogurt Or French for yum What was the ad French for yogurt I'm pretty sure They said it was French for yogurt French for yogurt

No, it's not Hold on That's not working So what I'm gonna do Is I'm gonna put in Yogurt Into the English side Yep

And then Yeah, what it comes in On the French Yogurt Not yogurt But they lied Didn't they I'm pretty sure

They said it on the ad Yum in French is Miam Like Miami Miam They did lie They did lie They did lie right?

Or am I imagining That they said that? I'm sure they said It's French for Yum What do you got The school for? I want my money back

I want my money back I got the Miam Okay Well you have to Remember What do you got to school for? I want my money back. I got to eat my lunch. Okay. You have to decide. Remember? What do you got to school for?

I got to school to eat my lunch. What do I remember? Do you go for arithmetic? No. I don't remember it, but I'm enjoying this. Do you like English? No. What do you got to school for?

To eat my lunch. And then what happened? And then she would eat a Yop school for? I take my lunch. And then what happened? The yoghurt came up. And she would eat a Yoplait for lunch. Oh, right. Okay. But my major problem is when I would, on the very rare occasion, take a yoghurt for lunch, it was from Dad's yoghurt maker.

Like a 1980s easy-o yoga maker that he still uses. Cheaper though. If you're planning on making yoga for 40 years, that's the cheaper way of doing it. It really is. So we would go and so it would be in like a screw top container. Yeah. And it would be warm by lunchtime.

It would be warm. Whereas my kids now they take a yogurt too. I think my wife loves our children more than my mother loved me because she puts an ice pack in this like refrigerated bloody. I know, they get an ice pack in this like thermal bag and they'll get home and the ice thing will still be cool. And like they're in the workings of their lunchbox. Just keep the yogurt at optimum yogurt

temperature. Oh my gosh. I know. Whereas my mum was like, you're bloody lucky to be getting anything. ZM, it's 50 Cent, and you can see them live at Friday Jams Live. One of our artists along with Janet Jackson, the Black Eyed Peas, Jason Derulo, Kerry Hilson,

Sisqo, Savage Jaquan and Fat Man Scoop. Pre-sales start next week. All the details are at ZM Online. General tickets go on sale on the 19th of August. And Friday Jams Live will return to Western Springs Stadium on the biggest stage that it is possible to hire in New Zealand. We've actually had somebody who works in staging ask

which of the big two we're getting. Oh, the Megatron stage, I think. Megatron 4000. Someone's like, oh, it's the big talk at work. What stage you guys are going? I will endeavour to find out. Thank you for your correspondence. Your friend Ellie will know because she does stages and stuff, eh? I don't think she does the

stages. But she'll know. Shall I ask? Stage chat. We all need to know that. We're really finding a niche audience here, aren't we? Yeah? Stage chat. Stage chat. We all need to know that. We're really finding a niche audience here, aren't we? Yeah, stage chat. Okay, well, yeah, all the details for Friday Jams Live are at ZM Online, but right now... No, wait, not right now. First of all, we're just going to wrap up this yogurt chat we were having moments ago

about yogurt advertising of the 1990s. Now, we've been corrected. Multiple people have messaged in. French for yum was the specific ad for petite miam, which was a small yogurt, and that does translate to little yum. Petite miam was French for yum. Okay, right. The yo play was, come on, Philippe, kick the ball like I told you.

I remember that. And then the kid kicked the ball, and it blew the old dude through the back of the soccer goal, threw it ahead, stopped on a picket fence and then the kid was eating a yellow plate. When actually, in reality, the kid's blood sugar went ridiculously high and then he couldn't maintain it. He couldn't maintain his energy. He's diabetic. He's got type 2 diabetes

now. Sure. That was actually, I'm looking at the actual ad on YouTube right now and it was for a chocolate dairy food. So yeah, he's Philippe. He's dead. He probably might be, though,

because he was quite old in the ad, wasn't he? Growing up with a brother called Philippe, that was always good. Oh, Philippe. Come on, Philippe. He couldn't kick the ball. Are you done? Can we move on to Fact of the Day?

Yeah, I'm ready to move on. Okay. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Let me tell you, we've got some audio here. Yeah, we do. James, now these two haven't heard this audio. This is about the Lion King, the original Lion King, the animated Lion King.

Yeah. The voice of Scar was provided by Jeremy Irons. You would know him as the bad guy from Die Hard 3. Yep. Doesn't Bruce Willis push him off a building at the end? No, that was his brother. He did that at the start. Oh, okay, right.

What did he do to Jeremy Irons at the end of Die Hard with a Vengeance? Out of a helicopter? Yeah. No, he blew up the helicopter. Remember? He's like, yippee-ki-yay. M.F. Boom.

Okay. That's how he met his end in the Die Hard franchise. Great movie moment. And he's been in heaps of things. Beautiful voice. Oh, he does, yeah. Oh, my gosh. Like, it's almost as good as producer James' Go Daddy.

If we ever meet Jeremy Irons, I'm getting a Go Daddy from him. We didn't get a Go Daddy today. Is that just a start of the show thing? If you've never had a producer James' Go Daddy, you've got to join us at 6 o'clock in the morning. It's a special treat for the early risers. He's an English actor, Jeremy Irons. Yeah.

I just thought he was European because of his voice he puts on in Die Hard. Hasn't he ever... No, again, you're getting confused with Alan Rickman in the first one. Hans Gruber. No, I know who Jeremy Irons is. He doesn't have a full-blown, it's more of a British-y accent. Okay. Have you said the fact of the day yet? No.

Oh, okay. So he was the voice of Scar in the original Lion King. Yes. You will not know this. Well, you might know this. Okay. Yeah. Jeremy Irons in the song Be Prepared, which is Scar's great song.

I love that song. I don't appreciate that. That was your issue with the new movie. It's not the same and it's very short. It's more like he's reading a poem, a rhythmical poem, rather than actually singing the entire thing like Jeremy Irons did. So Jeremy Irons strained his voice in singing that song, but they needed to get it recorded.

About two-thirds of the way through, you'll hear it. You won't get a sniff out of me is the voice that. You won't get a sniff out of me. So that's the last line that Jeremy Irons sings. Then the role goes to Jim Cummings. Jim Cummings is legendary. He's the voice of Winnie the Pooh. He's the voice of Tigger.

He's the voice of various Transformers. In the original Lion King, there were no lion sounds. All of the roars, Jim Cummings. Wow. Jim Cummings is, if you've got some time, look up Jim Cummings in a voicing session. It will blow your mind the noises that this man can make. Right.

Every dog that's ever been in a movie is pretty much Jim Cummings. Yeah. Listen. We've got the audio. You won't get a sniff out of me. Listen for the voice afterwards. It changes ever so slightly, but we've all lived in ignorant bliss and thought it was the same voice the whole way through

because of how good Jim Cummings is. The future is littered with crises. And though I may not see The point that I must emphasize is You won't get a sniff without me So prepare for the cool of the century Be prepared for the murkiest scam Meticulous planning Tenacity spanning

Decades of denial Is simply why I'll be king of Wow, you'd never know. But when you do know that it changes, the slightest change, because Jim Cummings was so good at listening to somebody's voice and being able to replicate it.

Wow. So today's fact of the day, go and see it and watch it. Watch the music video for that on YouTube and watch it happening. It will blow your mind how good Jim Cummings is at that. So today's fact of the day is Jeremy Irons strained his voice so badly singing the song for The Lion King that Jim Cummings had to sing the last third of it. Fact of the day, day,

day, day, day. Ah, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen tooan and Megan The Podcast If you enjoyed this podcast
