Friday. Friday, yeah. Yep. I'm not joining in the silly nicknames for weekdays thing. Can you just be happy it's Friday? I'm very happy it's Friday. I'm very happy it's Friday. I'm very happy in New Zealand retiring that safety video.

Yeah. Having only had to fly with it a few times It was more than enough Yeah Yeah it was a lot It wasn't I do feel sorry for the artists Yeah And the people in the video

Yeah Yeah Because that just kind of happened Let's talk about it more a little bit later Develop their thoughts Okay Right Somewhat more

Is it too early for you? Oh, look. Yes. The top six is coming up. Yeah. There's been a delay. I didn't know this, but they were supposed

to put cameras on every fishing trawler to stop all the dumping of fish at sea if they were too small. Also, people have been like, no, we didn't catch any Hector's dolphins.

Don't know. Didn't see any. Certainly didn't catch any Hector's dolphins. Don't know. Didn't see any. Certainly didn't fish up any giant tortoises. Tortoises? Turtles? Tortoises. That's when a turtle and a tortoise love each other very much. They give birth to little tortoises.

Tortoises. Tortoises. Tortles. Or tortoises. Both very cute names. So, it's been delayed. I don't know. Greenpeace is like, what's going on down there?

So today's top six is the top six things you would see if you had cameras on all the fishing boats. All right. It's coming up in the top six. Storytime's next. FBM. All right, you lot. Listen up.

It's storytime. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for story time as always, and Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three. The others we never find out about. Unless we Google it. Well, no, those, that's against the rules. Headline one, Toronto murderer pleads guilty to murder plots. I don't get it. Well, plots, you murderer pleads guilty to murder plots. I don't get it.

Well, plots, you know, like plots are like gardens. And he's a gardener. It looks like a funeral. You didn't say gardener, you said murderer. Oh, Toronto, no, it's about a, damn it, it's about a gardener. Oh, yeah, I was like, you said Toronto murderer pleads guilty to murder plots. Yeah, so it should say gardener. Yeah, right.

Toronto gardener pleads guilty to murder plots. Wow, so he was murdering people, putting them in the ground. That'd be great for the roses. Roses thrive. With a blood and bone. Oh, yeah, because mum's into her roses. She's always putting that on. The blood and bone, big.

I hope she's not murdering people and putting them into the... She is. Because, you know, roses are award winning. I know how her roses. She's always putting that on. The blood and bone. Big. I hope she's not murdering people and putting them into the... She is. Because, you know, roses are award winning. I know. Her roses thrive. That could be why. She went to Europe last year

to see how they murder people for under their roses. Oh, my God. That's great fertilizer. You do it face down over here. Amazing. I always leave them facing up. Headline two,

help wanted. And headline three, police make huge pot bust maybe. Help wanted. Dot, dot, dot. That's pretty vague. Very vague. Very vague. I'm in.

You're in for the vague headline? Yeah, I'm in for the vague. Okay, we go now to Chinoa. Where's that? It's in Illinois. Illinois. I always say Illinois. That's really? It's in Illinois. Illinois. I always say Illinois. That's really cold at the moment, eh? Oh my god, have you seen the videos?

No. You wanted to talk on the show about the ground earthquakes that they're having. Should we do that next? We'll save all this for next. They're having ice quakes here. It's so cold. Okay, we'll talk about that next. But... Is this related to cold?

No, not related to cold at all. Maybe they might have to put this off, but the Chinoa Police Department have advertised for help. They are looking for volunteers to face the shocking end of their tasers. The officers at the police department are undergoing their annual taser training. Oh, my God. And are looking for members of the public who are willing to volunteer for the experience. So you don't get paid or do you get anything?

You don't get paid at all, no. You must sign an exposure waiver to participate. And there's a phone number for more information. And that's the end of the ad. Why don't they test it on each other? I thought that was the vibe. I thought that was too. Yeah.

I thought if you were police, you had to... But if you had a dicky heart, you got to sit it out. Yeah. I'd just be like, oh, dicky heart. Very dicky heart. Because do you think if you tried it on yourself, and is this the idea, if you went through it, you might then think twice about firing it at somebody?

Yeah, you're like... Like Willie Nellie? I think that was the idea, right? Yeah. But I'd still probably, once I'd been shocked, I'd be like, you deserve this. But you know there would be some uni students who would do this for free. Oh, how much are they paying? No, nothing.

It's voluntary. Why not call a red card? Be like, all right, lads, Thursday, I'm playing my red card. First of all, we're going to get tased. You can't say no because it's red card. Be like, all right, lads. Thursday, I'm playing my red card. First of all, we're going to get tased. You can't say no because it's red card night. Start your stag night that way. Oh, yeah, brilliant. That'd be horrible.

Oh, that'd be good, though, if everybody just backed up and they didn't know who was who. So there's 20 people but only five tasers. Taser roulette. Three, two, oh, God, oh, God. And then you wouldn't get hit. Oh, God, it would be a great feeling. And then your mate who was getting tased grabs you,

so you get a little secondary shock. Afterwards, are you supposed to feel really alive or are you like, oh, God, I'm exhausted? Exhausted? I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to find out. No, neither, neither. Bleach, Warner, Megan, currently Dunedin, 25.5 degrees.

Holy shit. Are you serious? At the moment. Now, today there is meant to be a southerly change. There will be some rain for the South Island. Oh, boo. Temperatures in the next couple of days are going to be a little bit cooler. Right.

But it's still pretty, it's going to be still pretty hot. Did I see somewhere got 37 in New Zealand yesterday? Nuts. Yeah. Yeah, it's bananas. How hot it's getting. Well, the absolute opposite of it is the polar vortex that is over the US and Canada at the moment. I know, I love it. It even sounds like badass.

I remember when they invented that term last time, five years ago. Because what happens, it gets trapped. Yeah, and then it circulates up into the Arctic and it starts gathering speed. Right. And it just keeps humming more and more cold air down. But yeah, it just gets trapped and recycled back up and just gets infinitely colder. Yeah.

It just gets colder and colder and colder. Colder in parts than Antarctica. Yeah. In America. Yeah. In America. Yeah. Like cars. But it's also this weird situation of there's quite a bit of moisture. It's not like super cold and dry.

Like Antarctica's so cold for so long that it's really dry. Right. It was actually quite moist before. So that is leading to something called a frost quake. Where, you know, if you put ice in the freezer and when it gets to the point of freezing, it expands and it cracks. Yeah.

It's really hard to get a pure, clear piece of ice. There is a bartender trick to it. I think you boil the water, freeze it, then do something and it can go clear. Yeah. It's time intensive. Because, God, those clear ice cubes are real cold. They're real clear. Yeah. It's time intensive. Because God, those clear ice cubes are real cold. I know, they're real nice.

Yeah. It's so lovely. They're a must have for any whiskey sour. So, this is happening in the ground. Now, this is apparently, in Canada this isn't anything different. There's a bang and if it's really cold, everyone's like, oh, it's just, I know what that's

all about. It's the frostbite. But it's reaching far further south than it ever has before. It's been reported in Pennsylvania. Now, the thing about Pennsylvania is that when there was an explosion, because apparently it sounds like a bang and then the house shakes. Yeah. Previously in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, very heavy on the coal mining. And when that happened, it was a mine explosion.

So it's happening, and people are freaking out. Mines are collapsing, and there's been mine collapses and explosions, but it's not. It's these things called frost quakes. Yeah, and it's just so cold that the ground cracks. Because it's expanding. Because it's, yeah, it's expanding, but it's a solid, so it's got to expand out and it cracks.

Oh my God. It's just kind of like an earthquake, right? Like the tectonic plates move until a point where they'll buckle so much that there'll be a sudden release. At the moment in Chicago, it's minus 22. And it's lunchtime. Well, that is nuts. That's not normal, is it? Like, are they breaking records?

Minus 22 Celsius. Or Fahrenheit. Or Celsius. Or Fahrenheit. Well, Celsius, because I've... Yeah, that's New Zealand Google. And yeah, because Fahrenheit, it's... It's minus seven. Yeah, minus seven. Minus 22 Fahrenheit.

No. No, it wouldn't be Celsius. Yeah, yeah, minus 7 Fahrenheit is insanely cold. And the high temperatures, the low is minus 17. Oh, my God. Because a friend of the show lives there, and she said yesterday on Facebook that her parents' furnace broke. Imagine, like, you would not be leaving your house.

People have been told not to leave their house, right? Yeah. Imagine if the one source not be leaving your house People have been told Not to leave their house right Yeah Imagine if the one Source of heat in your house broke Well people are doing that thing They do in Antarctica Where they go out With a hot cup of water Chuck it in the air

Yeah And it freezes Instantly Wow And people even on their windows Inside People throwing hot water On the window

And it's freezing Instantly Wow Nuts Whereas here in New Zealand I tried that yesterday and I just burnt myself. I got confused

whether you're supposed to do that in the extreme heat or the extreme cold. It's just nuts though that there's like, Australia's getting to like 40 plus and horses are dying because it's so hot

and it's the complete opposite there. What's happening with global warming? The world, man. Maybe Trump's right. It's warming. It's warming. It's just changing. Drastically. Climate change.

Yeah. F.E.M. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top 6. Hello. Today's Top 6 is the Top 6 things you'll see on fishing trawler security cameras when they finally get installed. Apparently there's supposed to be cameras on every trawling ship that went into our oceans

to fish, to stop illegal fish dumping at sea, a whole bunch of stuff. So what's the hold up? Well, I don't know, but Russell Norman, remember Russell Norman? The Greens.

He was in the Greens, but he had orange hair. Yeah. Well, you don't have to but Russell Norman. Remember Russell Norman? The Greens. He was in the Greens, but he had orange hair. Yeah. Well, you don't have to have green hair in the Greens. No, but that's a clash, isn't it? Oh, yeah. It's like a straight clash. If you've got orange hair, you shouldn't wear green. You should go for earthy tones, do you think?

But green is an earthy tone. What are your thoughts? Orange hair and the association with green. I would not like to say. I think you should be able to wear whatever colour you want. Yeah, Megan's right there, Vaughan. Oh, okay. Stop colour shaming.

I will stop colour shaming. Probably better than a pink, actually. If you've got orange hair, you wouldn't wear pink too quickly, would you? Yeah, maybe not pink. Maybe not. Anyway, so he's claiming that it's all very suspicious. Right. He's like, somebody knows something.

Why haven't they been put on? He thought the big fishing dollars had contributed to political parties in the past. Oh, okay. He's casting those sorts of aspersions. Right. So the security camera's not on all of these ships going into the Southern Ocean to do some fishing yet. So when they are put on, these are the top six things I think you'll see on those security cameras. Okay.

Number six, a lot of chat about that TV show, The Deadliest Catch. A lot. A lot. Didn't a couple of them die, like, only a month ago? Oh, really? Yeah, it, like, capsized at the bar. Really? Yeah, yeah.

It's nuts. Quite a few people that have been on that show have died now. Yeah. Yeah. Whoa. That captain had a heart attack, and some of them, yeah, got overboard. Yeah, it's pretty loose. It's a loose show. I can see why.

I mean, we're having a chat about it now and we don't have any vested interest in deep sea fishing. No. Like, you know, when they're hitting some waves, Gary says to Steve, throw that episode of the Deadliest Catch, Gary. Sure is, Steve. Would Gary and Steve be starstruck by the people on Deadliest Catch? Oh, would they what? Would they?

Absolutely what? Yeah, three of them. And it was on the end of the first week Tiki's couch. Oh, would they what? Would they absolutely what? Have you... Yeah, three of them. And it was on the first, end of the first week of January. Oh. That's when they hit, that's when they get out there for them crabbies. Yep.

That would have been cold. Number five on the list of the top six things you'll see on the fishing trawler security cameras when they're finally installed. Two men sharing a moment of extreme passion while wearing full waterproof coveralls and thick black gloves. Is that all they're worried about? Because

that's all good. Yeah. Is homophobia rife in the sea trawling? I don't know. I'm unsure about the industry. If you want to kiss another man on deck, you know what, there needs to be a movie like Brokeback Mountain for deep sea fishermen.

Because that did wonderful things for gay cowboys. You're saying that the fishing industry needs that kind of... Needs a gay icon. Deep sea trawling. Is that a move? No, that's what you could call it. Yeah, but that also sounds like a euphemism, Megan. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Your dragnet. Get your dragnet out. Don't. Put it away. Number four on the list of the top six things you'll see on fishing trawler security cameras. People impersonating Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan when they're shrimp fishing. Is it Lieutenant Dan? I thought it was Dang.

Lieutenant Dang. No, it's Lieutenant Dan. Is it just his accent? Oh, God. Have I been living a lie? Lieutenant Dang. I thought it was Dang. Now that you say that, I think it might be. God, I. Have I been living a lie? I thought it was Dan. It's Dan with his last name.

Now that you say that, I think it might be. God, I haven't seen that movie for ever. It is still solid. It's a solid watch. Is it? Oh, yeah. It's so good. Lieutenant Dan.

It's Dan. It's me that's wrong. Damn it. I always thought it was Lieutenant Dane. Like, Dane. Hey, Lieutenant Dane. I think he just dragged it, right? Yeah. That's what gave it that fake Dane. Like, Dane. Hey, Lieutenant Dane. I think he just dragged it, right? That's what gave it that fake G sound.

Number three on the list of the top six things you'll see on fish and triller security cameras. Speaking of movie reenactments, I think we're going to see plenty of Jack on the King of the World. Oh, yeah. On the front of the boat. How many people do that on cruise ships? All of them. I think on the Ender Islander it would happen. Yeah.

Are you allowed at the front on the Ender Islander? I think so. You can get near-ish. I think on the Indoor Islander it would happen. Are you allowed at the front on the Indoor Islander? I think so. You can get near-ish, I think. It's a pretty dangerous place to be on a boat. You fall off, you're going to get pushed under, so you'll drown and then be chopped up by the blades. Yeah. Yeah.

Just practice a bit of safety. Number two on the list of the top six things you'll see on fishing trailer security cameras. You'll see enough reasons in about 20 seconds of watching the footage to never eat canned tuna again, I'd imagine. It's like they say,

you know, you don't want to see how a sausage is made, it ruins a sausage. Yeah, especially a sizzler, but I mean, every other sausage is.

Number one on the list of the top six things you'll see on fishing trailer security cameras, people sniffing their hands to see if they still smell like fish. That would be the worst part about that, Joel, because you would come home and you'd still

stink for days. I know. My old flatmate, Sam, remember Sam? He did a couple of stints on one. It wasn't for him. But he said you just do, and even like you get it, shore leave, you just stop, and then you have to go back into it. Oh, horrible.

Yeah. Could you go to the swimming pool and just have a soak for like a few hours? And does that get rid of it? And chlorine? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. I don't think so. I think it's in your DNA.

Yeah, because you know every time we go fishing, you have to put the bait on. Yeah, I know. Because I don't have to go. We don't want to touch it. But for ages, your hands stink of fish after you've been fishing. Imagine how much worse it would be if your job's just like... Yeah, and then you come home for a week to see your loved one, and they're like...

You're like, g'day, sweetheart. Give us a kiss. She's like... Oh, God. Okay, that is today's top six. I've seen both Megan and Intern Anya do this. Return clothes... Yes....to an Return clothes. Yes.

To an online retailer. Correct. True or false? True or false? True. I did it. In fact, you saw me return two packages yesterday. Intern Anya?

Yes, correct. How many packages do you both think you've returned? Oh. You have to put a number on it. 50. Yeah. Each? Yeah. Yeah, Each. Yeah.

Yeah, 50 for me. 50? How many have you purchased? 50 would be shy. Yeah, because you're half the time I'm like, oh, another ASOS. You're like, well, I'm sending this one back. Yeah. No.

I've done all my shopping for the last three or four years online. So 50 is not that much, right? You never go into a retail store. I couldn't tell you the last time I went into a shop. Sometimes I go in. What you need to do is do what I do, hit AS colour and buy like 50 t-shirts at once and don't have to go back for three years. No, no, not a fan. I bought some clothes in a shop like recently and I was like this is actually quite cool that you get to try it all on and like give it straight back if it doesn't fit. You don't have to like send it back. And I was like, this is novel.

Have you ever worn something that you've purchased on one of these clothing retailers stores and then returned it for a refund? No. I swear I've never done that. I'm too scared. After wearing it? No. Intern Anya?

I think I did it once and it would have been about, it was when I was in uni, so maybe five years ago. But no, I don't do it on the reg. Well, apparently reports are that ASOS may start blacklisting excessive returners.

Ruh-roh. But you don't mean people that are just returning lots of stuff, right? No, so they've been apparently going through people's Instagram feeds that are public. And if they're seeing stuff that you're returning, that you've been wearing, you're blacklisted from ASOS. Oh, no. I'd have to, like, go to the mall?

No. Not for me. That's so cheeky. And like, I was going to say, how can they tell that it's yours? But they would be able to see your purchase history. Yeah. And then look at your Instagram and be like, you wore that. And now you've seen the product.

But could you say, oh, no, I bought two. One from you and one from another shop. They'd be able to see. Yeah, but and often like ASOS stuff, you can't really buy in shops here. So apparently the study was done in the UK and it's not just online retailers, just retailers in general as well are starting to blacklist serial returners because people will wear things just for a weekend for an event and then try to return it. Oh gee, that's why rental, like dress rental places are so popular now

because you can just like pay a smaller fee to rent it and then give it back Oh gee. That's why rental, like dress rental places are so popular now because you can just like pay a smaller fee to rent it and then give it back. Yeah. But people are doing the loophole of if you send it back, you get the refund. That's so cheeky. You just leave the label on. Do you know there's some online

shopping places I buy from now where they have a label down the side out and it says this label must be here to be returned. So that you can't wear it because there's absolutely no way to hide that label. And you can't... A belt. What? A thick belt.

Like you wear a thick... But if it's like a nice dress that has this big label out the side. Yeah, thick belt. You'd want to put it in the middle of the back, I reckon. Nah, because you'd hide that long hair. Midway down. Nah, but it's still going to stick out of your hair, isn't it?

That's quite cunning, isn't it? That's quite clever as well. Very cunning. Unless you outsmarted them and bought one of those guns that actually attaches those plastic things. No, it's not one of those. It's just a label that you have to rip off with one of those little thin cable plastic things. No, it's not one of those. It's just a label that you have to rip off with one of those little thin cable tie things.

You know? Like the little plastic tags. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. You can buy the guns that honk in those plastic things. Can you? Yeah. I don't mean the die, you know, the one. No, no, no.

I'm talking about the plastic ones. You can buy those. You know those ones that you're like, I'm just going to pull it because it's going to break and then you pull it and you rip a hole in your buzz. Yeah, those ones. You can buy those. You know those ones that you're like, I'm just going to pull it because it's going to break and then you pull it and you rip a hole in your clothes. Yeah, those ones. You can buy those on AliExpress. But if you're buying one of those,

you need to check yourself. You're a son of a gun. Just buy your clothes, yeah. Just buy it, exactly. All right, a couple of minutes away from seven. Joining us on the phone just before eight o'clock this morning, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will get all the goss from her big overseas

OA her meeting with Meghan Markle secret meeting yes and Davos whoever that is isn't he off Game of Thrones

yeah he is the onion knight right she used to be with Stannis Baratheon and now he's with Jon Snow and at 8 o'clock this morning we kick off Friday Jams Meghan

you're going to kick it off with your Friday flashback today it's a good one alright it's coming up FM okay I said before that I was sad This morning, we kick off Friday Jams. Megan, you're going to kick it off with your Friday flashback today. It's a good one. All right, it's coming up. Okay, I said before that I was sad that I couldn't do this. I'm still sad I can't do it, but I can understand why people are up in arms about this. So there's a new trend for dog owners.

It's been noticed by Royal Paws Pet Salon. This is in North Carolina. They have created edible glitter that you attach with corn syrup and people have been glittering the testicles of their dogs. They've been giving them

glitter balls. Why would you glitter balls your dog? Like dogs balls and the whole junk situation on dogs is grim. Especially when they pop a little lippy. It's yuck. I find it very confronting. Why would you want to draw attention to it by adding bright colours and sparkles?

Well yeah, people are kind of confused as to why this is happening. They said it might have started from a dog show. Right. Because some people put like diamantes and like stickers and you know like poodles get coloured and stuff. I don't know if that's very... They've got a lot to answer for those dog shows.

And then they might have been glittering their balls. Right. Different colours. You wouldn't have seen this on Tux Wonder Dogs back in the day. Mark Leishman wouldn't have glittered Dexter's balls, would he? No. I don't know if Dexter had balls. Oh, no, he must have had balls because didn't Dexter have the two?

Oh, the cute little Labrador puppies. Yeah. Shoot. So there's, I mean, it started out there saying, like, it's edible, it's all good, but I guess. The glittery part isn't. No, it might be because they can make. No, they can make.

Edible glitter. They can make completely biodegradable glitter out of a whole bunch of stuff now. I mean, like, do you really want to try it out on your dog? You've got to touch your dog's balls to apply it. That's pretty like... Well, no, you put the glitter in a cup and you just go... Well, you teabag a cup with your dog's balls.

I would say it's more like dipping an ice cream cone into the chocolate. Or the sprinkles. Yeah. You're dipping an ice cream into chocolate. chocolate. Yes. Into the chocolate. Yeah. Or the sprinkles. Yeah. You're dipping an ice cream into chocolate. That's not something's testicles. Yeah, I know. I know.

Yeah. So you'd be pleased to know that the majority of people who commented on this story were upset and said it's irresponsible. Right. But it's not stopping people from doing it. No. And like, if your dog's at the dog park with like... Glitter balls.

Are they being made fun of by other dogs? Well, the other dogs will come in for a sniff of the butt, which is your standard dog greeting. And like if they slip, they might get a bit of glitter on their nose. That would be unusual. So if your dog comes home with a bit of glitter on its nose, you know that there's a new trend in town. Yeah.

Like it or not, glitter balls. Someone at your dog park is glitter balls. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is on the show with us at 10 to 8 and at 8 o'clock we kick off Friday Jams. But we want to talk about now about the heat wave because that's just what we do in New Zealand. We talk about the weather. We've got nothing else to talk about and it's Friday. So what?

You're not paying. You're not paying for this. So just sit there and enjoy it. It'd be different if you were paying a monthly subscription, I'd put a bit more effort in. We're free to wear TV because you won't pay for Netflix. So just enjoy some

weather chat. But you're right though, weather chat is always a go-to conversation starter, isn't it? It's right, it's up there. So Anya, you were saying at the hairdresser the other day that you were there for a little while and every single person that came in while you were there was

punishing the hairdressers with the same weather chat. Yeah, they'd come and be like, oh man, it's hot, this heat wave. And I could just say every hairdresser was like, yep, yep. Yeah, God, it's havoc out there. We're also living it. It's havoc out there.

So everybody you're talking to is talking about how hot it is and I've personally loved the comparisons to other places. People manage to squeeze in where they've visited that's hot. Have you had this? No. I've travelled to quite a few places. I had someone there

that I say, I spent some time in the Caribbean and this is hotter than there. I was like, wow. You went to the Caribbean? You went to the Caribbean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then it just turns into a Caribbean chat. They just wanted to crowbar in the fact they've been to the Caribbean. I know.

Caribbean or Caribbean? Caribbean. Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, you say Pirates of the Caribbean. No, but I say Pirates of the Caribbean but I'm like, it's the Caribbean. Yeah. I feel of the Caribbean. Pirates of the Caribbean. No, but I say Pirates of the Caribbean, but I'm like, it's the Caribbean. Yeah. It's odd. I feel like we've had this chat so many times and we've never reached a conclusive. A conclusion, yeah.

Yeah. An end to it. But, you know, it's the start of so much chat that we're wondering this morning. We'll start the sentence. It's been so hot that. Dot, dot, dot. Dot, dot, dot. You end the sentence with things you've experienced

in this crazy heat wave we've been having. Well, did you see a friend of the show, Adam, Adam and Eve, put up an Instagram story of his flip-flops? And he's just Nike slides, and they bent up. They buckled in the heat. They buckled up. What? He left one in the sun.

Oh, my God. He left it in the sun, and they buckled. So hot. Wow. Because they say in the sun. Oh, my gosh. He left it in the sun and they buckled. So hot. Wow. Because they say our train lines aren't used to this. Right. Our train lines aren't used to being so hot. And, of course, metal expands.

And in really hot countries that get cold, they leave a bit of a gap. But our gap's not big enough or something. Oh, really? We didn't leave a gap? We didn't leave a big enough gap. Oh, God. Am I right? That's something we would do.

I know. Yeah. It's something we would do. So when. Yeah. It's something we would do. It's like when they were building the railways in the 1800s. They're like, how hot's it going to be in 125 years? How hot? Should we leave a bigger gap? Nah.

We won't be here to worry about it. Tung, tung, tung, tung, tung. All right. So how hot, how insanely hot has it been? Have you been victim of the heat? It would act like we're the hairdresser and you're in and you're like, it's been so hot. That. Dot, dot, dot. Give us a call. You can text

in as well. 9696 FEM. Bleach, want to make them well. Small talk. Read the weather. And the heat wave is at an all-time high and it is punishing those in service industries that have to talk small talk and weather. It'd be tough.

Small talk's tough. Well, this is why, you know, in an Uber, I'm always like five stars if there's minimal chat. Minimal chat. Yeah. Get in.

Get in, mate. Yeah. They confirm address, no more chat. But it goes against Uber training. They tell the drivers to engage in small talk. They get five stars.

Yeah. I think Uber, they've got the wrong end of the stick there. Lollies are five stars, not small talk. Yes. Yes. So we said it's so hot that you finished the sentence.

It's so hot that dot, dot, dot. Someone said it's been so hot overnight in Dunedin, I slept under a wet towel last night. Oh, wow. What did we say at the start of the show? Just after six, it was 25 degrees in Dunedin. In Dunedin, yeah. Oh, that's a hot, that's a,

Dunedin's not made for that heat. That's a, that was an area established by frankly pale Scottish people who preferred the grey tones of Scotland to the searing heat of this heat wave. Banks Peninsula have the current high temperature 25.9. Okay. Already, it's only 25.7.

Dunedin's slipping a bit there. Yeah. And also the same person that slept under a wet towel last night is sitting at work currently in a wet shirt because the air con's so useless. Oh, I didn't think about people who have bad air con. Yeah. Or no air con. Tracy, it's so hot that dot, dot, dot.

That I had to refill my fish pond because the water evaporated. Wait, were the fish okay? Yeah. Oh, no, I actually noticed in time. Sorry, I had to refill the pond twice. Oh, that sounds like you might have sprung a leak trace. No, no, I thought that it was sick myself as well, and I watched it, and I refilled it,

and it didn't evaporate until the next day, until I got hot again, and then it evaporated after the hot day. What material is it made of that it's evaporating so quickly? No, it's concrete. It's a solid concrete pond on the ground. Oh, my God. How big is it?

Is it like... About 200 litres? But is it shallow? No. No, it's actually quite deep. It's one of those... Troughs. Troughs, exactly.

It's a concrete trough that's been put onto the ground. It's evaporating that fast. That's insane. Yeah. Okay. All of us must be warm too.

You're lucky they're not boiling. Yeah, I have actually had to check that so that's why the cold water is probably good

for them. I was going to say, can you chuck a couple of ice cubes in? Be like they're in Antarctica. Yeah. Like an OA

for a dolphin. Pity they won't remember it. They're too sick of memories. Yeah, hey, thanksE for a dolphin. Pity they won't remember it. They're too sick of memories. Yeah, hey, thanks you called, Tracy. Jack, it's been so hot that dot, dot, dot. Morning, boys. Jack the Premium Gay.

Excuse me, Jack. And Megan. You said boys. Hey, babes. I'm sorry. Good morning, babes. Thank you. Now, it's been so hot that dot, dot, dot.

That as a courier, I'm having to engage in extra long small talk just to stay in air-conditioned businesses for an extra 30 seconds. Oh, so angry. Normally, that would be a punish, wouldn't it? Oh, it is. The classic, are you guys busy? How's the traffic? I don't care, but I'm going to stay here and talk about it.

Yeah, just cooling off. Yeah. What about the, has your van got good air conditioning? No, it's just got the windows. Oh, are you kidding? No. No. It's No, it's just got the windows. Oh, you're kidding me. No. It's painful, but we're working on it. We're getting there.

Yeah, right. Okay. Well, that'll be why my courier packages are melting. There's no air con in the van. Well, you keep ordering ice blocks on couriers, and I tell you, just go to the shop and get them as you need them. Clementine, it's been so hot that dot, dot, dot. It's been so hot that dot, dot, dot. It's been so hot that my husband,

who is a heavy stop truck driver, that truck got stuck in the car because it melted. Was he driving at the time and it kind of sunk in or had he stopped and he tried to start again? I think he sort of like a car might have pulled out so he had to slow down. And then he tried to go up again and he was literally like stuck because of the car. Oh up again, and he was literally, like, stuck.

Oh, my God. That's insane. Clementine, thanks for your call. Anna, it's been so hot there. I have been drinking so much water and sweating so much with exercise that my skin looks amazing to my new relationship. That is a good point. That is a good point because sweat is a little bit of a natural moisturizer.

Yeah, I just look amazing in the mornings mornings and I just don't even need foundation. I'm just shining. Go girl. And you're drinking lots of water because of the heat and then that means more sweat and so it's just all good and good. Well, yeah, sweat everywhere. Okay. Silver lining.

Thanks, you call later. Someone said it's so hot that the glitter won't stick to my dog's balls. Great call back to the show about 10 minutes ago. Yeah, great. Someone said, it's so hot that the glitter won't stick to my dog's balls. Just a great callback to the show about 10 minutes ago. Yeah, great. Hot play for that one. Yeah. Somebody else said that

they saw a truck stuck yesterday. They just thought the truck driver had pulled over to play with themselves. Oh, okay. Which is clever. Yeah, no, but that's, every time I see a truck in a rest stop, I'm always like,

he's playing with himself. So I think that too, only because you guys, every time I'm like, I just project, I'm the truck driver, onto truck drivers, you're what I do. That's not the case. Long hours, Megan. They just need a rest.

When else are you going to do it? Yeah, perfect time if you want to catch a quick 20 minutes nose, it's just the drop off you need. Somebody else, yeah, they thought he was pulled over playing with himself, but then when they went past, they saw his wheels were actually like significantly sunken. Wow. That's nuts. Good God.

Somebody said, it's so hot that I felt really sorry for road workers and I took them all ice blocks. That is so nice. Because they have to wear the safety gear and they just must be melting. I saw some dudes doing the roadside weed eating yesterday. And they were in full safety gear, helmets, long sleeves, high vis. I saw some guys down the road from us wearing huge mirror goggles. Huge, like from forehead down to lips. Huge mirror goggles.

What do you mean? Were they snowboarding or were they weed eating? No, no, no. They were doing the roads. They were working on the roads. But they were all wearing them. Is there something? Because surely that would be too hot.

Could you go for some kind of mesh or fishnet kind of fluoro option just to kind of let the wind through? Yeah. Maybe they should pitch that. I know just the place. I don't know how happy they'll be when I have to take them all to Supra

to get the sizing, but I think I know. I think we're on to something. I think I know how happy they'll be when I have to take them all to Supre to get the sizing, but I think I know. I think we're on to something. I think I know. All right, our spy is coming up. Ariana Grande attempted to fix her tattoo. It didn't go to plan. Oh, my God.

Attempted. This is the greatest story. Like, you thought her getting the first tattoo was hilarious. Yeah, small charcoal girl. Even better. Now, it's a big weekend, the weekend of the 16th, 17th of February, because Float's on. Yep.

In Rotorua. But happening in Auckland is a meat-heavy event called Meat Stock. It's very meat-heavy. What happens? We've talked about this before, because didn't you go last year? Yeah. Meat Stock. Meat happens. Like a barbecuing Yeah. Meat stock. Meat happens.

Like a barbecuing festival. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you remember I said I saw people in downtown and they were walking around with like sponsor jackets? Like they were race car drivers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They had jackets covered in like sponsors. Yeah. The people that give them like their barbecues,

people that give them their charcoal. Wait, so are they like... I was thinking about if you're cooking the whole time, it'd be expensive. Yeah, they were from overseas. Yeah. Australian teams come, like yeah, teams from around the world travel barbecuing internationally. It's like full-blown competition. So they're like barbecue chefs, grill chefs.

Yeah. Wow. No, they're more like backyard people like Vaughan. They're just obsessed with it. Yeah. Wow. No, they're more like backyard people like Vaughan. They're just obsessed with it. Yeah. But they're made of so much and I don't know if you know

the people like eating. Is it prize money? Yeah. So this is why they travel. But how do they win? Like who cooks the best meat? Yeah, and then like oh, you should see it

so that you have to cook it's on like presentation, cooking, everything. Okay. I'm kind of I'm kind of into it. So you've got to have a lot of parsley. I don't know what.

No, it sits on parsley. Oh, okay. I don't know why. Because parsley's got a bit of bounce to it. Like a cushion. Oh, you're not talking Italian flat leaf. No, I'm talking old school mum's parsley in the garden. Okay, right.

Like bouncy parsley. Right. Parsley? Parsley. Parsley. And then you put the meats on top and you present them in the garden. Okay, right. Like bouncy parsley. Right. Parsley? Parsley. And then you put the meats on top and you present them to the judges and then they don't know who it came from. They've just got a number on there and they eat it and then they mark it and then you put together the marks.

Are you going to be a judge? Well, no. Oh. No. If you're going to be a judge, you've got to go and learn how to be a judge. You've got to go to a half a day training. Apart from eating the meat, none of this appeals to me. It's very time-consuming.

It is a time-consuming hobby. I like to hear about the process of cooking it. And then I like the presentation aspect. Yes, the presentation's massive because I just slop things. Yeah. Yeah, right. I'm a slopper. It gets a bit sloppy with grill, you know, barbecue people.

So what's your big news? Well, a while ago, I got contacted and asked if I wanted to be part of Meatstock. Right. On a team. And I was like, yeah, that sounds great. That sounds great. So you go and you, because things take a long time to cook on the grill, like brisket. So if you're going to do a good brisket, you've got to have 14 hours, you know.

Right. So you take what shifts? Yeah. Okay. Like overnight, you're watching it, you're moderating the temperature. This is insane. This is nuts.

Like I'd encourage everyone to go for a little bit of a look. Probably not vegans. Probably not going to be your cup of tea. Vegetarians even, I'd say, it'd be pushing the boat out for you guys, even though you eat eggs. Yeah. Which is a bit hypocritical,

but not here to talk about that. But if you're into it, it's a hell of a thing to watch. Right. And you can do it and have a couple of beers. That's the most exciting part. So I said, unfortunately, due to the clash with Float, I'm not going to be able to make it for the Saturday and Sunday. I said, if there's something to do on the Sunday, I'll come. And then yesterday I get added to this group chat. And it's like, okay, so this is how it's going down. And

I'm a little taken aback. I'm a little confused. Right. And it turns out like I, so this is how it's going down. And I'm a little taken aback. I'm a little confused. Right. And it turns out like I'm on a team. What? I'm a member of a team. Did they miss the part where you said you have a prior engagement? No, no, but not on Saturday. I don't know if there's going to be like,

they're going to be one man down on Saturday and then I charge in fresh on Sunday, you know. Yeah. Fresh legs. But do you know what you're doing? Because you don't want to be in charge of a brisket or a piece of meat. Or you overcook it. I'll just keep looking at the temperature and be like, help, help.

I'll be doing that a lot. Right, okay. I'm running around. I'm pretty good on a mop. Because you can constantly be mopping more, you know, sauce. Don't you mean basting? No, because basting is the little squirt thing. I'm mopping.

I thought basting was when you brushed it on. You need a basting brush. No, this is more of a mop. Dang, I don't know. Is that right? The timberless thing. Don't tell me the tape. Do you get a sponsor team jacket?

I don't know if I get one of them, because they're always button-up shirts. Oh, okay. Because, you know... That's really hipster. You might know, if you go to Meat Stock, if you've ever seen a barbecue competition? There's a certain physique that most of the competitors have.

Some would say. Okay. Right. Dad bods? So, you know, like dad bods, so a button-up shirt always, you know, is an option. Do they have their names on the back, like Smidoo? Oh, I don't know, but maybe.

I hope so. Dazza. They're bad Dazza. There'll be. Dazzer. I'll probably get the shirt off at my own. There'll be many Dazzers. Many Dazzers. Many a Daz. So if anyone's going to Meatstock on Sunday, I'm going to be on More Better Barbecue.

That's my team. In a couple of weeks, not this Sunday. Not this Sunday. Can you please get a team photo in front of your, like, set up? Holding your bit of meat? Yeah, please. Because I think that'd be really great. I still find this ridiculous. Why Because I think that'd be really great. I still find this ridiculous.

Why? I think that'd be really... I don't know. Like, it's one thing to barbecue in your backyard, but then to have an event is weird. But it's like,

anything gets to a level where it gets... You know, old mates are very competitive about barbecue. You know how seriously like Dad took a barbecue and you don't barbecue

on another man's barbecue without permission. That's not a thing. It is. At our house once I went somewhere and I came back and someone else

had lit the barbecue. I was like, what's going on here? That's being helpful. That's not a thing. No, it's an abs... No, you shouldn't be like kissing somebody else's wife.

And I was like, what's going on? I was trying to help and get it started. It would be like someone saying, oh, it's just getting her warmed up. Like, you just don't do it. You just... There's it. There's rules.

There's etiquette to these sorts of things. All right, 18 to 8. We've got Friday jams kicking off at 8 o'clock. Megan's going to start it with our Friday flashback. Shall I say that it's topical this week? It's timely, okay. It is from 2009, absolute banger. All right, that's coming up.

But next on the show, the Prime Minister. And next on the show, it's Flashback Friday. So I have chosen one that I would say is topical this week. It's from 2009. As that rules state, it has to be at least 10 years old or released 10 years ago. So it's only been able to be used for the first time this year. Now, here is the weed kicker. I think it's an absolute banger.

But if we go to the New Zealand charts... Oh, no, no, no. I remember it didn't chart, but it became big after. It was definitely a slow burner in the charts. Number 27 in the New Zealand charts. Right. Was its peak? Yeah. We are stalling for time, like

a live television show on a red carpet or an event where nothing's happening. I know, but you're not supposed to say that we're stalling for time. Rules for stalling. Producer Caitlin. Should I leave a message on the Prime Minister's phone?

Oh no. We'll do it. Sorry. We'll leave the message. Pardon? We'll leave the message. Okay, I'll put it through. You try ringing.

We'll just try ringing live. She'll probably answer. And then we'll all be put on the spot. Is it just ringing and doing nothing, is it? No, it's going... Hang on. You used the phone before, sweetheart?

Fine. Excuse me, that was Fletcher's fault. Let me dial the number first. Oh, did you try to steal it off her? No! You pushed a button before, Dale? The tick showed up, which means the call is ready. So that was Caitlin's call.

Ready? Yes. Wait, one second, one second, one second. The ticks? Go. Yeah, that's what I did before. Hi, you've reached Jacinda Ardern. I'm sorry I can't take your call.

If you'd like to reach me urgently, please send me a text. Otherwise, leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Add the tone. I like how the Prime Minister's like, just text me. Hi, Jacinda, it's Megan here. Hi, hi. Just calling to talk and we thought we'd just leave a message.

I don't know. Are we accepting a call back? Sure. Maybe I'll text. You said in the message to text. This would be annoying though. She's the prime minister of course we're accepting and then you're gonna answer and then you're gonna hear this

and you'll be like I've already dealt with this and that's time wasted isn't it you've got important things to do anyway so on that note we should probably wrap up we're not gonna leave

too long a voicemail do we really no leave it really long because as I said you've got heaps of stuff to do yeah I hope everything's well regards yeah I said you've got heaps of stuff to do yeah I hope everything's

well regards to Clark and Neve also when are people going to stop calling Neve baby

Neve yeah infant when she gets to be a toddler right one I'm just happy with Neve now

oh anyway yeah yeah as I said before we don't want to leave too long a message so thank you we'll hang up there perfect alright cool did you hang up I'm just happy with Niamh now. Oh, anyway, yeah, yeah. As I said before, we don't want to leave too long a message. Thank you.

We'll hang up there. Perfect. All right, cool. Did you hang up? Yeah, I hung up, yep. Do you really hang up? Because sometimes you get those messages and people think they've hung up and they're not hung up. No, definitely hung up.

Okay. Cheers, Caitlin. Have we managed to get through the Prime Minister? You must be busy. There must be. Maybe there's a national emergency. She didn't text me back. No, she's on the tools, mate.

What does that mean? Building houses. Kiwi builds behind target. Oh, yeah. She's all hands on deck. Yeah, easy. She'd be good on a nail gun, I reckon. Yeah.

I always put an extra nail on a nail gun. Now, that's probably not protocol when you're building houses because that would add up, wouldn't it, over a whole house, putting in an extra nail. Like two nails. You just like shooting it. Two, two, two, over a whole house, putting in an extra nail. Like two nails. You just like shooting it. Two, two, two, three, just for, you know,

structural integrity. Yeah, right. Right. Coming up after eight o'clock, not only Megan's first Friday flashback. For 2019. Oh, don't put the pressure on.

A lot of pressure to follow up from Miley's party in the USA from me last week. And what did you have the week before? My Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga. Oh, that was, nah, that was hum-ha. Oh, that was awesome. Yeah, it did only get to number 27. But it's a good song. It's a great,

and this like, the weather, it all adds up. This song's, I'm vibing it today. It's a banger, it's coming up. And also,

I'll tell you a story soon, August has started a new kindergarten. Okay. Because we moved and she has had her first week this week. Yeah. It started on Wednesday. So she's had a couple of days and yesterday she told me about her new kindergarten. Okay. Because we moved and she has had her first week this week. Yeah.

Started on Wednesday so she's had a couple of days and yesterday she told me about her new friends. Oh. Okay. And how she knows that they're really good friends.

Okay. Alright, it's coming up. S.E.M. God, going to Ringatona College would be like going to a pub quiz. Phones in the box, no Googling, no Wi-Fi.

Ah, God, I gotta listen. So when we talked about that briefly before, a teacher messaged in, because we're like, how do you get away with headphones? Yeah. Cordless headphones, hair down. Oh. And she said it is so hard policing.

Yeah, well, you can get in ears now without wires. Yeah, and even if you take your phones off them, they press play on the headphones and they can just listen to the Spotify song that they were listening to before. Oh, stuff them then. If they don't want to learn, just... Let them fall by the wayside.

Yeah. All right, it's time for Friday Flashback. Okay, so this Friday Flashback, it has a, like a, what do you call it? A saying kind of is the title. It's something that we say a lot and it references part of the summer. To be fair, I've never heard anybody say this.

No, have you not? It's definitely a saying. Maybe like a baby. It feels like a baby boomer saying. A baby boomer saying. It occurs during summer, the period that Sirius the dog star rises at the same time as the sun. Now, it's often a period. Is that why Sirius Black was a dog on Harry Potter?

Maybe. His Patronus was a... A dog. Padfoot. So it's a period that's marked by lethargy. Lethargy. Anyway, so it was number 27 in New Zealand. Lethargy.

Yeah. Lethargy. Is that what it is? Lethargic. You're lethargic. Okay. It was number 27 in New Zealand. This singer wrote this song after they literally biked past this art installment that said the title of the song.

Right. So they wrote this song and named it after the title of the art installment. Ooh. This UK singer was in New Zealand this week. Yes. I went to the show. Fantastic, as always. I've seen her before and she was fantastic.

So, my first Friday flashback of 2019, Florence and the Machine, Dog Days Are Over. I can't believe this song is 10 years old. I know. All right. Such a banger. The clappy bit. I'm real good at that. No, you know. She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with a drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run Run fast for your mother

Run fast for your father Run for your children For your sisters and for others children For your sisters and brothers Leave all your loving Alone behind You can't carry it with you If you want to survive The dark days are over

The dark days are done Can you hear the houses Because you're late Come Lawrence and the Machine on ZM. She's sold out at Spark Arena. Obviously, Laneway as well, the 10th anniversary. Laneway, she was there 10 years ago. That was kind of her first.

She spoke about this on Thursday night. No, Wednesday night. Right. It was kind of her first big headline at a festival. I don't want to brag, but I saw that. OG hipster. Everybody else was like, oh, no, we're going to stay up here where the booze is free.

And I said, not me, man. About the music, dude. I'm going to go down there and get amongst the people. And then I went down and I was like, oh, God, yuck, people. She's amazing, though. So good. If you ever get the down and I was like, oh, God, people. She's amazing though. So good. If you ever get the chance to see her live, you won't regret it. Remember she came in studio and she's like, hello, it's Florence here.

Hello. She sings like that. I know. And then she's like, hello, it's so lovely to meet you. Some feedback. Good choice, Megan. Loving the Friday Banger. Somebody said, no, I can't believe This song only made it

To 27 Russians Must have hacked The New Zealand Music mainframe I know crazy Somebody else said This is a song At my friend's funeral

So a lot of emotions Attached to it Wow Somebody else said This is great The leaderboard Can officially start Megan you've done it

Pull your socks up You other two Somebody else called me out saying Sirius Black was a dog in a Magnus form, not a Patronus, but his Patronus was a black dog too,

so don't come at me. I don't even know what you mean. I will ravenpaw your eyes out. That's good. Without even breaking a sweat or a Hufflepuff. That's what I am,

a Hufflepuff. No, you're a Slytherin. Oh, okay. That's, a Hufflepuff. No, you're a Slytherin. Oh, okay. That's okay. So is Ariana Grande, babe. You're a Slytherin because you are a textbook Slytherin and you're also always

Slytherin into people's DMs. It's me, you, Ariana Grande and August. And August. Oh, yeah, great. Who I want to talk about now. Great company. Who I want to talk about now.

August started in New Kindy this week. This is my youngest daughter, four and a half. She's going to be five in June. She started in new kindy this week. This is my youngest daughter, four and a half. She's going to be five in June. She started a new kindy this week. Yeah. And she's pretty outgoing. Like, she makes friends pretty easy.

Yeah. And she got home yesterday and she said to me, Dad, I've got the greatest friends. And I was like, that's great. After two days, she's like, these are the greatest people. These are great friends. And I said, oh, okay, what happened today? And she's like, well, do you know when I knew that they were my new best friends?

And I was like, I don't. And I'm imagining foods involved. Free lunch, yeah. Like they gave her a sandwich. They had good snacks. She was like, what you got going on there? No, but it wasn't that. She said, they rubbed my sunscreen in for me.

That's pretty cute. And she said she, because we're pretty heavy sunscreeners. Every day we like sunscreen heaps. And so she at lunchtime was doing a reapplication. That's good to know. She's got a little roll on. So she's rolling it on and she said, but I couldn't reach my back and I can't remember

the girl's name. Feel like it was Grace. Okay. Said, I'll put it on your back for you and August said, thanks friend. And she said,

that was when I knew that this was one of my new best friends. Because she was willing to put sunscreen on her back. And like when you think about it, that's the measure of real friendship.

Like remember that time in Greece when we were at that nude beach and we had to put sunscreen on his back. And when you think about it, that's the measure of real friendship. Remember that time in Greece when we were at that nude beach and we had to put sunscreen on each other? We weren't nude. Why did you go to that nude beach again? What was it called? Like Super Paradise Beach or something? I can't remember.

And it was like the top rated beach on TripAdvisor. So we were like, we'll just go there. I mean, it was mechanised. It was probably a homosexual gay beach, a nude beach as well. Oh, good Lord. But there was no one. There was only like a couple of go there. I mean, it was me and I, so it was probably homosexual gay beaches, nude beach as well. Oh, good Lord. But there was no one. There was only like a couple of people there.

Did you guys get nude? No. It was freezing. The water was freezing cold. No, no. You can't go to a nude beach closed. No, there was other closed people there. I think nudity was optional.

We still just did that old man's big old... Okay. Yeah. I was like, oh lord That's a monster You were saying that was a great sign of friendship Because we were like, okay, can't reach our backs I'm going to get sunburned

Can you please put sunscreen on my back I cannot And literally was like Light touching, not connecting for any longer No, but real quick I can't even imagine you rubbing sunscreen Like light touching. Not connecting for any longer than... No, but real quick. I can't even imagine you rubbing sunscreen. Even like if I asked you, you'd be like, rather not.

Like, weirdo. It'd just be weird. Because I'll get burnt. Just don't lie on your stomach. That's what I was expecting. And then when I was putting it on his back, he's like, your hands are moving too slow and you're touching it too much. I was like, okay, I'm going to go faster

because I take sunscreening very seriously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Done, done, done. And then everyone was like, we won't talk about it again. And that was like nine years ago and it's only just okay now to start talking about it. Yeah.

But I was wondering this morning because that's like super cute and most really good friendships do have that moment where you're like, we're going to be friends. Like in Step Brothers, the immediate moment, they're like, are we best friends? Yep, that happens. There's always a click, a moment where you're like,

you like that, I like that, we're best friends. Yeah. And I'd like to hear yours this morning, when you knew your best friend was going to be your best friend. It was when I remember Ali said to me, Ali's my best friend. She was like, I hate Sublime.

I was like, oh my God. Me too. We're the only people in the world that hate Sublime. They're so great though. They ain't got no thanaria.

Rubbish. They ain't got no crystal ball. But yeah, see everyone loves them. But me and Ellie, no. I don't love them, but it's one of those songs that when it comes on, it's pretty impossible not to sing along to. Like, I hate Nickelback, but if it comes along, you can't help yourself.

I'm from Nelson, and when that album came out, it was just everyone's jam. Anywhere that was sort of a marijuana heavy population usage was pretty sublime. It was pretty into sublime, eh? Yeah. Right, so you bonded over your hate of sublime, and that's when you knew you were going to be best friends. We was pretty sublime. Yeah. It was pretty into sublime, eh? Yeah. Right, so you bonded over your hate of sublime and that's when you knew you were going to be best friends. We can text message him. Oh, I found it finally. God, our Google's so rubbish.

And that's how Megan knew her best friend was her best friend because she also hates sublime. She just texted me and said, can we please turn this off? No. Those weren't her exact words. It was far more expletive filled than that. I think a great summer song gets you in the mood for Friday. Yeah. Those weren't exact words. It was far more expletive filled than that. I think a great summer song gets you in the mood for Friday.

Yeah. But not everybody loves it. Someone said never heard this song before but... Well it is 20 something years old. 23 years old.

I'm never in a hurry to hear it again. We want to know when you knew your best friend was going to be your best friend. My daughter experienced

that. She told me yesterday she knew she had a new best friend because she rubbed sunscreen onto her back where she couldn't reach it. Pretty cute.

Yeah. Pretty cute. Kirsten, Kirsten, sorry, when did you know your best friend was your bestie? It was our first day

of year nine in high school and we got seated together in our seating plan and we both pulled out our phones and we both had the same Samsung like QWERTY.

It was like one of the first QWERTY phones to come out. And so we became best friends from that day onwards, and eight years later, we've travelled around the world together, and we're still best friends. Aww. You guys have the same phone. What a QWERTY. No, do you remember they were the keypad they had?

They were divided in half? So you had the... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I do. Yep, I remember those now yeah and it like slides out from underneath the phone

yeah and you were like good taste in phone you and your best friends I see your parents are also very affluent hey thanks you're cool

Devin when did you and your best friend know you were best friends so it was a couple of years ago in high school probably a few years ago in high school yep and a few years ago in high school. Yeah.

And my best friend, we bonded on hating the same person. It was her ex and my ex-best friend at the time. Right. And we were such good best friends that we actually got matching tattoos. Oh, okay. Wow, that person really burned bridges. Yeah, pretty much. Okay, and still friends to this day.

They say love is a strong bond, but hate is so much stronger. Very true. Devin, thanks you all. Jacob, when did you and your best friend know that you were besties? So I went to fatigue after a rugby game and singing some alcoholic beverages.

Doesn't mix very well. Yeah. So we were having a bit of a court session in one of the changing rooms and one of the new players, I ended up vomiting on him. And we turned to each other, both cracked up and realised we were going to be best friends. Oh my God, you spewed on him and he didn't hate it and you knew you were going to be besties. Oh yeah. And how long have you been friends now?

For five years now, or four years now. Going strong? I love how you know your anniversary of your friend, but probably not at a relationship. Oh, well, something's more important, isn't it? That's very true. Jacob, thanks for your call, mate. Sinead, when did you know you and your bestie were besties?

We were hanging out on swings and I ripped up this massive fart and I got up to check I hadn't blown a hole in the seat. And we've been best friends ever since. Wow. I don't know how we're still friends with Vaughn with this stuff he's pulling. Oh, you know, I got, yeah, just Fletch is just, we've just got a new in-studio fart cover. It's another Britney Spears.

Like literally just as you were saying that story, Sinead, when Megan and I looked at each other. I mean, subconsciously I farted. We're just like, oh, damn it. I was with you. I would be best friends with you guys on the swings too. Yeah, but it works. Totally.

Right, but you knew that moment. You were like, I like this one. Yep. Perfect. Yeah, we're best friends ever since. It's been great. I love it. That's awesome.

Thanks, Sinead. Ask some text messages. I knew my best friend, Ella was my best friend on the first day of engineering class. We both turned up in full makeup and high heels with our hair done, ready to conquer a man's world.

Yes. 16 years later, we're still best friends. That's cool. Somebody said, my best friend spat on me in the middle of the street and I thought, oh, feisty, this one. 10 years later, we're best friends.

What? No, I need to know why she was spitting. Who's she? I don't know why they spat. Like when you do one of those spits and someone walks into it accidentally. It's like the vomit story too. Like if someone vomited on me or spat on me, like my instinct wouldn't be like best friend. Any sort of initial meeting that involves bodily fluid.

No. Wearing on you without like, you know, wanting it to be. Thank you for clarifying. My best friend, at the time, someone I knew had a sore butthole. And she said, would you mind checking it? And I don't know why, but it just felt right to say, yeah, I'll help you out. And we laughed and I wouldn't do this for anybody else. And that's when I knew there was something there that meant we had to be best friends.

Yeah. I've seen my friends butted. It was pretty devastating, by the way, what she had to check out. She said it wasn't good. They had to go to the hospital. What? No, like, detail. No, no, no.

Did you say butt hole? Yes. Not like it's something on the cheek? No. It's only someone that went water skiing and... What? And what? No, and what?

And what? Ripped open. Pulled it open. Well, yeah, they had to go to the hospital. What happened? How do you, and what? And what? Ripped open. Pulled it open. Well, yeah, they had to go to the hospital. How do you rip open your butt cheek? I don't know.

You must hit the deck. Yeah. Were they wearing skis? That's what I'm saying. That could be a possibility. They were water skiing. Yeah. What, and they went down?

I don't know. I'm wearing a wetsuit, obviously. I don't know. What, did they catch half the lake? I don't know. Your cheek caught it wrong.

Because if you were water skiing and you went down into a squat, it would open just a tiny bit and then it would just catch water and fill up like a fishing net.

God, you wouldn't want an eel in there. That would be a hard to explain situation to the doctor. It's happened before. Yeah. Wow, not that way,

has it? No, Megan. Some other text messages. I don't know how you knew your best buddy was going to be your new best buddy. When one of my best friends and I discovered both of our dads have curly mullets, we were like, I think we're going to be friends. We were working at a restaurant together and my friend at the time,

but just like associate friend, low-level friend, said to me, I think I've shit myself. I think I've what? I've shit myself. Okay. And I said to her, okay, that's shit myself. I think of what? I've shit myself. Okay. And I said to her, okay, that's cool. We can take care of this. My mum's not far away.

She could get you some undies. And mum got her undies and from that moment on, we were best friends. Oh, that's nice. That's bliss. That's something nice coming out of something, yeah, unpleasant. First play date with my son's new school friends, meeting all the parents.

It was 11 a.m. And the kids went outside and one of the mothers said, I'm going to go out on a limb here, but would anyone like a wine? Immediately, I knew we were going to be best friends. You sent Lorenz out to play with the other kids.

At the Shardies. At 11am. On it. That's good. I love these stories of friendships. Long may you be friends. It's time for Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day. It's good. I love these stories of friendships. Long may you be friends. It's time for... Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day.

Today's Fact of the Day is about the cold weather. In America, they have a polar vortex. And while we're having like a heat wave down here, theirs is insane. Oh, it's colder in Antarctica. It's colder in Chicago. Than it is in Antarctica. Nuts. It's crazy.

We worked out before it was negative 22 degrees Celsius in Chicago. So there'd be parts of Canada that would be colder than that, right? Because the further north you go. Yeah, but they're used to it there. Yeah. In Canada. They love it. Yeah. Oh, it's gone up to it there. Yeah. In Canada. They love it. Yeah.

Oh, it's gone up to a barmy negative 19 degrees now. So three degrees warmer. As it reaches the height of the temperature because they're kind of mid-afternoon now. Yeah. But today's fact of the day is about a town in the Yukon, which is up, it's where they do all the gold mining shows. Oh, yeah.

In the Yukon territory. Well, at one time the temperature reached negative 63.9 degrees Celsius. 63.9 degrees below zero. Does anything work in that temperature? This is the weird things that started happening. It was so cold that just nothing was moving. There was no moisture in the air.

There was absolutely no wind. You could hear people speaking four miles away. Wow. So you could hear people speaking over 6km away. Yeah. You could hear them and you'd be like, what's that? Just because of how cold it was and how little. How does it work?

Because I know noise travels faster through a solar than it does through a gas. I'm out. I'm out. Because we did this thing where we went to school and we stuck our air on a pipe and the teacher went down the other end of the thing and he banged it. It was like the pipe fence outside the school and you could hear it through the pipe. Then you heard it through the air. Right.

So the air was so dense and cold. It was, I remember it. Yeah, that's great teaching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the air was so dense and cold. I remember it. Yeah, that's great teaching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the air was so cold, and I'm guessing dense, that there was nothing to stop the sound.

So you could just hear people talking miles away. Also, it was so cold that if you went outside and you breathed out, the moisture in your breath would turn into dust in front of your eyes. So it wasn't just like foam, it would dust and fall to the ground. Wow. Like that. And river ice, it was so thick, when it finally cracked, it sounded like explosions.

Because we were talking about the frost quakes before that parts of the US are experiencing where the ground temperature is so cold now. It's just cracking. Yeah, it's cracking because there's part of the permafrost, well, not the permafrost because it's not permanent, but the ice is freezing to ground to such depths that, yeah, when it expands, it cracks and bangs like ice would in your freezer.

So it's not quite negative 69. No. 63.9 degrees, but it is very cold. So today's fact of the day is if it gets cold enough, you'll be able to hear people bitching about you behind your back up to six kilometres away. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Special guest joining us in studio, Broods.

Good morning, guys. Good morning. We've just been talking about the harsh realities of the 9 to 5 Monday to Friday with a couple of musicians who have decided to do two shows. Three shows if you include Homegrown. That's one too. That's a show. You just really upped your workload by a third

This is a guy who knows exactly what it takes to perform on stage Oh, I couldn't do it I know what it takes but I couldn't do it It's friendly banter It's just friendly banter It's not like we can say we work a 9-5, 9-5 No

People who don't work crazy long hours reveling in the fact uh now don't feed the pop monster the new album is out it is out today it's crazy wow what is going on i watched um the peaches video are you guys like um are you taking the piss out of all the stuff that like radio and tv like make you do all the weird stuff we're kind of i don't know we're just kind of taking the piss out of ourselves a bit but like also we just really like dressing up yeah right so it's like how can we do this video with as many outfit changes how many outfit changes can i fit into this we wanted to go really deep into the dress up the answer was six okay good six i really just likemed that last, the sixth outfit with the wig

and the kind of roller skates and stuff. I really was just like, okay, but can we just do this one? Just as well. Really quickly. Just a couple of bits in there at the end. Okay, okay, okay. So you guys have got some shows here, and then you're going on a North American tour.

Yep. Yes. Do you have to get a big bus for that? And then you just spend, is it one with like bunk beds and stuff? Oh yeah. Yeah, try and fit 12 people in one bus. Yep.

Okay. And then all live with each other for a month. But then do you guys get first pick of the bunk? Oh, I always, we're always in the same bunk. Middle, middle back left. Middle front left. Okay.

No. Why? If you're moving forward, I'm on the right actually yeah right okay because that's the way you walk down the bus so we're walking down the bus like we've just got on the bus and if you're walking down i'm on the left and i'm on the right right at the back there's one two three three high three high. So why not the bottom bunk? Oh, you just have to roll down onto the ground every time you go to bed. So it's the stoopy.

Ground is like ground level, yeah. Oh, right. The bottom bunk. It's like a mattress on the ground. Sleeping on the floor. Oh, right. The equivalent. And then high is too high if you need to go for a wheeze in the night.

And also, I'm very short. Yeah, right. So you'd need a little steppy stool. But they don't have ladders. They don't have ladders you just have to climb so whoever's on top whoever's above you usually puts their foot into your bed into your bed yeah it's like going to a real it's like going to campgrounds yeah it's like camping but it's the best night sleep you ever have is that is that on a bus because you'd be? You've just performed and then you hit the road. Yeah.

And it's pitch black. Right. It's quite nice, you know, being rocked to sleep every night and then you get off tour and you're like... You almost need like a generator under your bed or something. Just to harmon gently. Like when kids get used to those things, those little seats you sit them in and they just sleep.

It's kind of like that. If we saw adult-sized ones, those would sell. Yeah, that's If we saw adult sized ones of those would sell. Yeah, that's what we have. It would be like a lazy boy with a light with a light a light vibration.

Actually, there are those things. Those big like lazy boys that vibrate. We've got one here but it's not like it's a different sort of vibration. It's a pounder.

Oh really? It pounds. It doesn't generate. Our auntie's got one and it's just like it just vibrates like a phone. Right. And it's supposed to be for your circulation.

Yeah, right, auntie. I don't believe in that shit. Auntie's like, look, by myself, it's for circulation. Please ring ahead if anyone's coming around. You don't want to arrive mid-circulation. Mid-circulation. Godation I would be scared to sit on auntie's chair It's also like

really old school duvet floral Where did she get that from? That's a really good question Like a bus seat She's got a very specific aesthetic that she's fitting to. Yeah, auntie's fairly keen on floral.

Or paisley. Yeah, it's a little bit like that. A little bit of paisley. What's her carpet like? Is it like that classic 80s New Zealand carpet? No, it's actually just like that. Oh, it's just hardware. Yeah, you've got to ask about Aunty's interior.

costume changes how many well I'm going to have to go for seven aren't I to up to I'm just going to be to go for seven. I'm tired of up to the video. I'm just going to be getting changed the entire time. All you should do is just wear seven layers and then take one off.

Oh, yes. Every, like, year. That would be really smart. But also. Hot. Hot. We've also, we've done outfit changes before. And.

I don't know. They're kind of just a pain in the ass. Does anyone, like, really notice? No. Not unless, like, you're Beyonce or Taylor Swift. Those are, like, the grand ones. Not unless you, like, disappear and then appear out on the floor or something. Oh, and she took her jacket off.

Woo-hoo! Have you heard from Taylor Swift since the tour? Um, no. Oh, ouch. She's acting like you're best friends and then she? No, we haven't. Oh, ouch. She's acting like you're best friends and then she's like, I see ya. I know. I think she's probably been sitting by the phone.

But then have you reached out to her? Do you have means of communicating? We don't. Oh, you don't have a number or anything? We don't have each other's numbers. Because if you had hers, then I would say to you, communication's a two-way street. No, I wouldn't make, no, I wouldn't make. Can you please post about my new album?

That might help. That would be handy. Hey, I wouldn't make, no, I wouldn't make. Can you please post about my new album? That might help. That would be handy. Hey, it's me. It's me, yep. I just wanted to catch up, but the album's out today, by the way. Also, while I'm here. Album, album, album, album. Check out the new album today and all the tour details are at ZM online.

Thanks so much for coming in, guys. Yes, we are. Party Jams on ZM Blink 182. And if you've got nothing on this April, April 2017, they're playing at the Fyre Festival, which is on an island in the Bahamas. Man, this just looks massive. I've just seen the models talking about it on Instagram,

this little orange tile popping up everywhere. It's going to be massive. You know what? It's going to be huge. If you haven't seen the Fyre Festival doco yet, like, watch it this weekend. Yeah. Do yourself a favour.

So good. Air New Zealand have announced. Well, did they make an announcement or did someone just notice that they have pulled the latest safety video from their pre-flight ritual? I don't know if they did make an announcement. Or it just happened and everyone's like, ew. So it's being removed by's like, ew. So, it's being removed by the end of today.

This was in an article dated yesterday. So, from today. It was the safety video that featured the rap to run DMC, featured some local artists, a whole bunch of people.

Kings, the, the, it was, kind of, it got a little bit of heat lately from international,

high profile international visitors that were coming to New Zealand for festivals. And somebody estimated that would have been to make All Up, including to license the music, to pay everybody in the video and to produce it, one point something million dollars?

Yeah, I would have thought so. And so, you know, it's cost them a lot of money. But how much are the other ones? Because they always make epic ones. Is it the same price as the other one or was it more expensive than the other ones? Depends on the music and the scale of things. Yeah.

So, someone I know that had seen the feedback said it was overwhelmingly negative. Right. All the company stuff. So, it wasn't like the other ones where someone will be like, this is getting a bit much. After a few months, like this was an immediate sort of backlash. I mean, the Men in Black one was terrible.

With the All Blacks. With the terrible singing. But at least it was a funny video. Until there's a worse one and then you're like, oh, how I pine for the days of Men in Black starring Richard McCormick and Dan Carter. So what's happening

instead of they're taking off the latest one? I've gone back to that. The summer one with Rachel Hunter. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Which is real. That wasn't a bad one. It was real Kiwi.

It was Kiwi. It wasn't annoying. Yeah. But I mean, I feel sorry for the artists involved. Same. Who would have been offered an opportunity and a payday. Shit, we all need to eat. We all need to eat.

And that's the area. And if you get offered money to do something and you're like, okay, that sounds like it's going to be fine. Yeah, you say yes before they maybe had actually finished it and then they were like, oh, what have I been a part of? Yeah, pay was all been part of something that we've looked back on and thought, well, what was going on there? Why did I do that again?

Do you think that they wrote it? Do you think that King's had any part in writing the lyrics? I don't think so. Because it's a safety video, so it would have to require certain things. So he was probably given that song and... It had to go through so many people till it was finally on the plane for all of us to see. And nobody said, this is horrible.

You know, nobody said... We should have just crossed straight to Fletch for correspondence on it. They should have got you to check them. Run it all past me. I'll do it for free. If it was up to you, they wouldn't have a safety video. It would be short and sweet and simple. Hey, guys.

You're not listening. Very unlikely if we crash, oxygen masks will come down. Please don't smoke anywhere. Lifejacket's under the seat. 30 seconds. Done. But it is kind of I do like them on the whole because I think it's a point of difference and it's kind of cool for visitors. And they get

a lot of views on YouTube. So it's great marketing. But then they did the Santa one before Christmas. That went viral without being a safety video. So maybe just focus on stuff like that and give us a simple safety video that's done in 30 seconds. I took a lot of flights over Christmas on different airlines. Yeah, okay.

And you know, some of them are just so bland and plain. I like it. I like it though. It's just like, clip your seatbelt in. I do like the difference, but maybe not that one. But someone, maybe someone with some taste needs to be in charge of the final edit.

I was just literally about to say, creativity is very subjective. It is. And you're just like, somebody with taste needs to be in charge. And it is also hard trying to get all that safety stuff because how sexy is it being like,

put on your seatbelt, here's the exits. And when it's been done in multiple videos prior to. Yeah. Yeah. Understand, but don't do that again.

That, okay, the next one is going to have to be really good. This was like, this was like a good lesson in how each of us would parent. Like some of us tiptoed around it and said,

hey look, a mistake's been made and that's fine. We learn from our mistakes. That's all good. Let's not do it again. Fletch would just be straight in. You're fired.

Yeah, just tearing a kid to bits. Who was in charge of this? Because you're not doing the next one. Yeah. This is a terrible drawing. This is terrible. You know there's other colours in there, right? This isn't going on the fridge.

Trees aren't purple. Unrealistic tea trimming. Tree to me. You're out. But you're my father. I said you're out. I imagine that would be what, like Simon Cowell is your dad.

Yeah. And then the kid's like, like you can draw a better tree. Yeah. Sit down, Timmy. Tree drawing competition. Me and you, one on one. Survivor gets to stay in the house.

Loser has to leave. All right, more Friday jams next. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out jams next.
