Starting point is 00:00:00 ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletch Warner Megan. The podcast. Thanks, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Warner Megan. One minute past six. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. A little bit. I'm a little bit emotionally drained. Why? For this morning's show. I'm going to talk about it before seven. I've got a new Netflix show. Oh, is it a true crime? No.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Because have we all seen, over the break, did we all see Don't F with Cats? Yes. How messed up was that? That was something. I couldn't stop. I just binged the hell out of that. I couldn't stop. I watched that all on a plane, on a flight,
Starting point is 00:00:45 and landed and was just like, wow. It's a lot, eh? You don't trust, I don't trust anybody. Yeah. No, this isn't true crime. I've already finished what Bourne's talking about and it's intense.
Starting point is 00:00:58 I wasn't expecting it to be. Am I going to like this? I don't know, no. I know, I don't think so. I don't know. You could watch it and I think you'd find enjoyment out of it, but at the end you'll do that thing where you go, meh. And not feel emotion either way.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I feel emotion. We'll see. It would truly show you have no heart if you didn't feel something. Well, always looking for something new to watch. We can talk about this on the show before seven. Also on the show coming up today, we met another Bachelorette contestant. We've been meeting these guys all this week. This one's got a little French background.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Ooh. Oui, oui, oui. Bonjour. I did French my first year of high school, but it's all gone. Je m'appelle Carl. I was going to say Je m'appelle as my name is, right? And I remember supermarket. What's that?
Starting point is 00:01:56 I think it's supermarché because it's real like supermarkets. I was like, oh, my God, I'll always remember that. It's a supermarket made of paper mache. It's a supermarché mache. It's a super mache. It might not even be that. I don't know. I don't know. And, of course, petit fermet.
Starting point is 00:02:12 That's Little Farmer. It is, yes. I've got that time. What's that, yogurt? Yo play? No, petit miam. Petit miam. That means little yum, right? Oh, yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 00:02:23 All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time, three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, you've got to pick only one of the following three headlines. Hang on. That was a big pause. I had story time up in the tab, but then I went to the movies. We still want to go to the movies to check out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:46 We still want to go to the movies after the show. We go to the movies to see 1917. And, yeah. Great movie. So I wanted to go see 1917 on the big screen, but Dr. Doolittle was on the extreme screen. IMAX. No IMAX for 1917 in the morning.
Starting point is 00:03:03 What's the extreme screen? That's Hoyts. Hoyts. I've checked both options. Well, I've checked both because I want to see them. Sylvia Park. I want to go to Sylvia Park. Well, no, but I just wanted to see if it was on the big screen.
Starting point is 00:03:13 I feel like this is an off-show chat. If we're branching out, check Reading at New Lynn. Hey. Because they've got the VMAX. They've got a big-ass screen. I want to see war movies have to be on a big screen. He's not wrong. I saw it on a small screen. I want to see war movies have to be on a big screen, Megan. He's not wrong. I saw it on a small screen, and I don't think it matters.
Starting point is 00:03:28 It's still good. It'll engross you either way. Okay, well, we'll go to the one just by work. But maybe have this discussion after story time. Be a cool Megan. It doesn't involve anyone else, does it? No, someone might have some sort of insight to offer. To an extreme screen or a big screen.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Headline one, monkeys terrorise village. Headline two, Kansas man's unique custody battle. And headline three, drivers unsecure load. I'll go. We've got a 10-10
Starting point is 00:03:56 on the Titan at New Lynn. What's a Titan? The Titan's their version of the massive screen. Oh God, that's okay. And then I'm halfway home.
Starting point is 00:04:04 You could probably Uber back to your house. Absolutely not. We'll go to the massive screen. Oh God, that's okay. And then I'm halfway home. You could probably Uber back to your house. Absolutely not. We'll go to the small screen by work. Oh my God. What are the three stories he just said? What? You're going to have to pick. Oh yeah, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:04:16 The three stories were Mysterious Doctor Can Talk To Animals. No, that's Doctor. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back doing a movie together. And Three Women Take Down Inappropriately Sexual News Boss. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back doing a movie together and three women take down inappropriately sexual news boss I want to see that one
Starting point is 00:04:30 Those are just the three movies that are being advertised to me on the side of the cinema page I don't know, whatever, you pick Unsecure load? Wait, I've forgotten the other one Kansas man's unique custody battle Drivers unsecure load or monkeys terrorise village Are they fighting over the custody battle? Are they fighting over the custody battle? Are they fighting over a pet?
Starting point is 00:04:49 They're fighting over the monkeys that are fighting over the village. I'd assume it's children. But that's not really what the story goes into. What do you want, Vaughn? Monkeys. I want to know about the custody battle. Okay. I know I can find the monkey stuff on my own time.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Okay. That's against the rules. Not a problem. If it's about children, I don't know why it's a strange custody battle. Well, we go now to America where a man during a custody battle has requested trial by combat with Japanese swords to settle a custody battle with his ex-wife. Does she get to pick a champion? If it's trial by combat, I believe she's also allowed to choose a champion.
Starting point is 00:05:35 He has also said she can pick someone or her lawyer, who he also doesn't like by the sounds of it, is more than welcome to meet him on the battlefield. But how do you win? Well, so he's asked that his ex-wife and her attorney meet on the field of battle where he will rend their souls from their corporal bodies. So kill them. Basically, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:58 He claims in court documents that his ex-wife has destroyed him legally. So he's asked the Iowa District Court to give him 12 weeks lead time to source or forge a katana sword. He's going to make his own sword! Yes. Give the man what he wants. He's obviously serious. Now, to this day, trial by combat has never been explicitly banned
Starting point is 00:06:20 or restricted as a right in these United States, according to court records. What? So it was used as recently as 18 right in these United States, according to court records. So it was used as recently as 1818 in British court. As recently as 202 years ago. Oh, you know, this thing's used all the time. Just 202 years ago, they cranked it out. Yeah. So he is meeting absurdity with his own absurdity.
Starting point is 00:06:43 That's what he's saying because he's frustrated with his wife and her returnee. But yeah, it's ongoing. The judge hasn't ruled yet. Just googling who the world's best swordsman is currently. They've just given me some really old one.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Who is the best swordsman to ever live? Miyamoto Musashi is a given. Right. He fought 60 duels in trial by combat and never lost a single one. Right. But he's dead now. He just died of old age, sword-related death.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Right. That's 200 years ago. The wife's attorney fired back. He's argued that a duel could end in death. Such ramifications probably outweigh those of property tax and custody issues. Yeah, right. It's a fair point. I mean, he sounds like a
Starting point is 00:07:32 reasonable man. Yeah. Her husband. He does, yeah, surely. But yeah, it's ongoing. Good lord. Ongoing. The judge has yet to rule, so we'll stay. They loved each other once. I know. And they would have been one of those couples that was like burning hot.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Yeah. Because it's always there where they turn. They're very passionate people. Yeah. And the passion goes from love to sword fighting to death. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM.
Starting point is 00:08:01 A man purchased a set of drawers on Trade Me. It was like... Like bedroom drawers. Yeah, I don't know why you'd... Like... I'm just trying to think. Oh, God, I've got to get these clothes off the floor. That's why I'm trying to think of the thought process of going into being like,
Starting point is 00:08:17 I'm going to buy a set of drawers on Trade Me. Well, like you move house and you've got like an extra room or something. You're like, I need a set of drawers in here. Mm, okay. Or you're I need a set of drawers in here. Okay. Or you're upgrading your old set of drawers. God, I just hate to go around and pick up those drawers off whoever I brought them off. That's why I would never do this.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It gets worse because you had to go and pick them up west of Huntley. Okay. You've been west of Huntley? What? No, what's there? So there's this option. Or is that that bridge you can go over? There's a bridge by that intersection with all the fast food.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yeah. Does that mean you have to go through like... That's where I would, from the description I believe, I would go over that bridge. The bridge that you always look at and you're like, oh, you know how you see the big smokestacks? Yep. And you're like, never been on that side of the river.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'd imagine when you head out that way, music starts playing ominously. Oh, it's exactly where I thought it was. Yeah, so... What, like... What, like... Slow, like... Or... No, that sounds... No, that's too happy.
Starting point is 00:09:14 I think it's more just of a... It's very ominous. I don't know. I've never been out there. It could be lovely. Oh, no, so this is a back way to Raglan.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Oh, okay, right. And there's an old mine there. It's the old coal mine. Really, I'm creeped out. And it like collapsed and filled up with water and now it's a lake. Oh, pretty.
Starting point is 00:09:30 But yeah, it's out there. It's quite a mysterious area because it was obviously thriving at one stage with the mining and everything. That spooky music is still playing in my head. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I'm not sure I'm describing it. Or let me show you this. When you search Rotowaro, which is what it's called, this is one of the, because of the old train lines out there, to get the coal, there's an old, what looks to be like a passenger carriage out there. That's what you find when you Google Maps it. We're going to see that on Fletcher's Instagram story soon.
Starting point is 00:09:56 You'll go walkies out there. Why would I do that? Because you love all that stuff. I love abandoned train carriages. For the grant. Yeah, you went in some abandoned tunnel? Maybe. So it depends how intense that music is when I turn off this intersection.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I might have to do a Yui. No, just get some chicken nuggets at that McDonald's and tune really loudly so that you don't hear the music. So he buys a set of drawers. Yeah. For $60. Okay. He gets it home.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Do we know what the drawers look like? Nah. Are they wooden? I haven't seen a photo of the drawers. It's just described as a chest of drawers.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Okay. It's already sounding too hard, Baskets. $60. You have to go pick it up. West of Huntley. West of Huntley. Like, no thanks.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Like, I'll just go to Kmart or something. There's creepy music playing. He is pulling the, getting the liners out of the chest of drawers when he gets them home. Because he's like, oh, I don't think this has probably been cleaned out. Under that, he sees a little bag. Oh, God. And he pulls it out and there are dozens of $100 notes.
Starting point is 00:11:01 He counts it up. There's $5,000 cash. No, you can't keep that. What's that? Absolutely you can. You have just purchased... Who has $5,000 in an envelope hidden in there? Either an old doomsday prepper or someone who's dealing in.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Sure. The one thing we all know gets doubt in cash because the IRD doesn't have a code. Or it was just some savings. Somebody's savings. Yeah, okay. If it's somebody's savings. Yeah, because when I first saw it,
Starting point is 00:11:32 I was like, I'd keep that and keep it on the down low. But now you've put it into point. It might be an old person's savings. Yeah. It might be somebody's savings. Or you've just taken money and not returned it from a drug dealer. It would really depend on how that pickup went
Starting point is 00:11:46 and how I judge that situation if I kept the money. Well, if they're a jerk, you can take it. Yeah, yeah. If they didn't help me tie down the set of drawers on the trailer, then I'd keep it. But if they were super sweet and lovely, I'd give it back. Right. Well, they've also talked to the guy who had the money returned.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Oh, yeah. And he said, very, very grateful. Oh, that's nice. What a good guy. Set a great example. He's got two daughters, the guy that returned the money. And he said, I wanted to set a good example for my daughters. And this guy's like, what a good dad.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah. And it was cash that he had saved and he put it there for a rainy day, but then forgot about it. Oh. How do you forget about $5,000? This is a different generation, though, because I would never have $5,000 just sitting there that I'd forget about $5,000? This is a different generation though, because I would never have $5,000 just sitting there that I'd forget about. No.
Starting point is 00:12:30 That would be spent on a holiday. Like $2 when, like at the end of summer, you put back on your jeans for winter and that little coin pocket's got like a, you're like, what's that? Oh my God. Yes. Hey! $2!
Starting point is 00:12:44 Oh my God, you've got two dollars in your pants. Yeah. And that little pocket at the top. Where'd that come from? Wait, so you were saying you find two dollars in your shorts and then you put your hand in and there was two dollars in your shorts. Okay, let's try this. And then you reach into your back pocket and you find ten grand.
Starting point is 00:12:58 I'll try the other one. Can't know that one. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Celeste Barber is an Australian comedian. She's massive on Instagram. She's the one who does the little videos to take the piss out of a lot of models and famous people. Yeah. All in good fun.
Starting point is 00:13:15 But she became kind of an unintended heroine of the Australian bushfires because initially she started a fundraiser to raise $30,000 for her family who were in Eden, which was massively affected. A lot of the pictures of Eden were the pictures where the sky just looked bright red at
Starting point is 00:13:38 3pm in the afternoon. So her family was affected. So the initial target was $30,000. She ended up raising $51 million. So she's got 6.7 million followers. I don't know how many she had before these efforts. About the same? Yeah, she had quite a few.
Starting point is 00:13:55 So 1.3 million people donated. Initially, she intended this to be like a local thing to help out her local community. It went nationwide, like nationwide and because of who she is, it went international. And so a lot of people overseas used her as a way to donate to Australia.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Now, that seems like that's awesome. $51 million. But then you've all of a sudden got $51 million you have to sort out. And suddenly everyone has an opinion on who it should go to and what's happening with the money. So she's had a lot of comments and concern from people who have donated.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Right. Arguing on where the money should go now. Now, once she has kind of put it forward to GoFundMe, it doesn't have a lot to, I mean, she doesn't have a lot to do with it. Yeah. And there's a lot of strings attached with getting that money to where it needs to be. So the upset comes from people who want to know exactly
Starting point is 00:14:55 where their money's going and when it's going to go to the charities. Because there's holdup as well, because PayPal is involved. It can take up to 90 days for them to give the money on. That's crazy. 90 days. Because I saw she's not making any comment to like media. It's all through her Instagram. She's been meeting, hasn't she, with like Facebook and PayPal.
Starting point is 00:15:17 She said she's been meeting with fancy people at all these places to try and get the ball rolling and get, you know, like. The money fast-tracked. Yes. So she said it seems with raising an F-tonne of money comes an F-tonne of people telling you what you should do with it. That was on her Instagram
Starting point is 00:15:31 but yeah, she's not commenting. But it is going to the RFS. Right, the Rural Fire Service. And they, she says it's going to be their responsibility to divvy up where they see fit because obviously they're going to know who needs it most in what areas and they're going to divvy it up. see fit because obviously they're going to know who needs it most in what areas and they're going to divvy it up.
Starting point is 00:15:47 But yeah, PayPal and everyone are working with her to get it fast-tracked so it can be released sooner. 90 days is a long, that's three months. That's a long time. And they need the money now, don't they? Yeah, exactly. But $51 million, I don't think anyone can scoff at that effort. So Jeff Bezos, is he the richest man in the world or second?
Starting point is 00:16:05 It's always him and Bill Gates. He's obviously the founder of Amazon, CEO. He donated $690,000. Nice, but people have done the maths. That's how much he makes in five minutes. And then they worked it out. It was like the average person giving 0.something percent of their yearly salary as a donation.
Starting point is 00:16:28 But it's still something. I know. I mean he doesn't have to. He doesn't know. We can't scoff at people for trying to do something. But this is a man that makes $215 million a day $78.5
Starting point is 00:16:44 billion a year. Yeah. And he gave $690,000. Still a lot of money though. Still a lot of money. But yeah, I mean, yeah. Kylie Jenner gave him $1 million, but that was only after she was like
Starting point is 00:16:58 caught out wearing mink. Wasn't she wearing mink slippers or something after she said, oh my God, I feel so sorry for the wildlife. Everyone's like, but you're wearing mink slippers. And after she said, oh my God, I feel so sorry for the wildlife. Everyone's like, um, but you're wearing mink slippers. And then suddenly there was a million dollar donation. Oh yeah, great. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:10 We forgot about the mink slippers. Yeah. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. A Netflix show called Chair is being watched in the Smith household currently. Megan, you actually were one of the people that recommended it, that have mentioned that you really enjoyed it. I didn't expect you to watch it or enjoy it as much as you have. Oh, it's, maybe I was just in a bit of a state.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So it's about. I was really tired yesterday, maybe it got in. Right, so it's about cheerleading. Yeah, here's the trailer. People from all over the country come here to cheer for Monica. My goal was to be the best cheer program in the country. We only compete once for two minutes and 15 seconds in Daytona. That may be your last time in your career.
Starting point is 00:17:55 We have kids that come from broken home or troubled past. If I wouldn't have came here, I'd be sitting in a jail cell right now. Your own brother is turning on you, jumping you. They were trying to beat him into a man. They would make me feel like I was not a part of the family. Those are my kids. I'll bite tooth and nail for them. Okay, that sounds full on.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I'm a bit emotional just listening back to those stories. But it's about cheerleading. It's about more than that. It's a Texas town, and the population, to compare it to a New Zealand-sized town, would be about Timaru. Oh, really? Okay, right. That's the population size.
Starting point is 00:18:31 It's in Texas. It's just 40 miles out of Dallas. Yeah, that's in Texas. Yeah. So, or Austin, one of the two big cities. So it's just out of a big town. And it's this community college. And it's their cheerleading program,
Starting point is 00:18:46 which defies all the odds every year and like wins competitions and everything, despite being small and a community college. And it's just about the story of the kids in the cheer squad. And you can't not. Because you hear there, they don't all have,
Starting point is 00:19:02 because they say a lot of cheerleaders have the, they grow up, it's a sport that wealthy people do well in because their parents can afford to send them anywhere to do it. But these kids, there's some kids in there that have grown up with nothing. Yeah. But cheer was what they love doing.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Yeah. And then yeah, every now and then they'll throw you one of the kids backstories. Okay. And it's the backstories. When these... From the outside, they do look like wealthy, spoiled children. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:30 They've come from nothing. You're like, okay. But then you get the backstories and you're not quite expecting to be hit with what you're hit with. Right. And it's really emotional. Yeah. And did you cry a lot as well?
Starting point is 00:19:41 At the end. You haven't got to the end yet. Wait, but you said you haven't finished it and you cried. I've only watched two episodes. Oh, yeah. No, the back stories. I think I cried once in each episode because of the back stories. They're kind of drip feeding you the back stories.
Starting point is 00:19:52 You meet the kids and you're like, these are amazing. They're practicing nonstop. Yeah, right. I know. I understand what it takes. Well, I don't personally, but I understand what it takes to be the best at something is that you've got to be pushed and everything. But I also don't like seeing young people like pushed too hard.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, right. I find that quite hard to watch. Have you heard Jerry's backstory? Oh, Jerry, get me. Get me. Get me. Get me. Jerry.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I had to put my visor up like that and shout, I see you crying, and I said, a little bit. A little bit. I think the visor's the giveaway. Yeah, yeah. I put my... You could have just pretended to go to the toilet or something. No, because then I would have missed it. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I would have missed it. I wanted it. I wanted to know what happened. I needed to know what happened. Right, okay. I want Jerry to being Jerry. So it's know what happened I needed to know what happened right I want Jerry to being Jerry so it's called
Starting point is 00:20:47 Chair and Madison was that the other back story yeah that we talked about yeah oh my god
Starting point is 00:20:53 okay so it comes with a good recommendation you'll hate it Fletch I think you'll hate it will I hate it I'll give it a try it's a wonderfully told story though
Starting point is 00:21:02 I think you'll appreciate the way it's all put together wait till the end Wait till the end. Wait till the end. All right, cheer on Netflix. Fletchborn and Megan's Community Notices. Hello and welcome to Community Notices for the year 2020. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:21:23 We haven't resolved any of the previous community issues. And the last community notices continues to exist. Great. And there's a new rule this year. Okay, what's that? Only one poo story per community notices. Okay. Because it's... They're dominated, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:21:37 They are. I mean, we're simply reading what we're sent. Yeah, but there's always some story about a poo. So, this is not a poo start to it. Great. But on the Matamata Notice Board, Hemi Patterson has written, to the person slash persons committing the thefts around town,
Starting point is 00:21:57 look, it doesn't bother me when you nick my shoes. It's a good excuse for me to upgrade. And it doesn't bother me when you break into my car. You missed the $50 in coins sitting in an open compartment, by the way. Don't know why you didn't want those. And I don't mind if you snoop around my yard at night, but for F's sake, stay off
Starting point is 00:22:13 my new lawn. He's got a picture there and the grass is lovely. You know when you're growing a new bit of lawn and you don't mow it for a long time and it looks lush and green and new. And he's got it to that point and it looks beautiful. He's done a great job cultivating that lawn. Your dad's got a good lawn, Megan.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Oh, my God. He'll be so stoked you've said that. Every time we go around, if we're in Nelson, I'm always like, good lawn. Well, he waters even when there's restrictions. Just waits till the night time when I can see. He doesn't give up. It's hardly the perfect crime because everyone else's lawn
Starting point is 00:22:45 is tender brown and his is green. It's obvious. Even if you don't see the hose going, you'll be like, oh, it must have rained just on my lawn.
Starting point is 00:22:52 It's an ecosystem. What do you call it? He should just get a sign maker. He should get a little sign made up saying this lawn is watered by a bore,
Starting point is 00:23:00 like a well. Which is a lie, but people will believe there's a well put together. Prove it. Yeah. And then just put a fake little hole on the ground. I'll leave the rest up to him.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Hemi goes on to say, if I catch you on my grass, you'll be getting hog died and you'll be begging for me to call the 5-0. Not a problem, but this new lawn, because it's showing they'll put a scuff on it. Because you don't walk on a new lawn because it's not established they'll put a scuff on it because you don't walk on a new lawn. Oh, yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:23:25 It's not established. It could damage the roots. Yeah. I'm with, couldn't be more on board with that. Yeah, no. Let's go down to Christchurch, to the Christchurch buy, sell, and trade page. Matt has listed a laptop for $200. Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Looks like a really nice laptop. Matt writes, I bought this for the ex-girlfriend to look for work, but she was lazy and didn't want to work, so the laptop never got touched. It is as new. It's all the good stuff because she was very fussy and demanding about
Starting point is 00:23:55 what she wanted of a laptop. Quad core, one terabyte hard drive, touchscreen, selling cheap to celebrate her departure. Wow, he just wants it gone. He wants a little bit of his cash back.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Get a bit more of that money back. It's a brand new laptop. 200 is what it's got to list it as. Yeah, right. For a brand new laptop. Just to... She wanted one. Ben writes on the Tuturangi page,
Starting point is 00:24:20 does anyone have any baby dolls they don't want anymore? They don't have to be in perfect condition as they'll be used for this. Let me show you. Oh, God. What's this? He's making planters. Pot plant holders. Pots.
Starting point is 00:24:36 So he counts the head of the baby doll and then fills it with soil. Yeah. And puts succulents in there. That is terrifying. It's creepy, right? And that other one there, that's a full body one. He's cut the stomach open and it's like... That's the scariest thing I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Imagine like walking home and it's dark. Yeah. Who's playing these? Dry boy. I don't know. I think these people would. Really? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:00 The sort of people you have a potluck dinner with once. Yeah. That's whose... And you have stories about it for life. Buying and selling those. To the you know you're from Waiuku when, Steve writes, to the Muppet that attempted to break into my car parked in Waiuku today,
Starting point is 00:25:16 did you not see the pit bull inside or were you trying to steal her? I'll keep what's left of your finger on ice overnight in case you want it back and you can PM me. So there's someone out there with a missing finger. Yes. There's a bullseye trying to break into a car with a pit bull in there. Yeah, I'll be like, next car. The window would be down so the dog would have some breathing.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Maybe they tried to reach into the lock and the dog was just like, rawr. Wow. Or they tried to grab the dog because as I say, it could have been a dog theft. Yeah. And finally today, let's go to the official Lower Hutt Community Notice Board. Atars writes on there, to the person who lives on the corner of Tarangi Road on Moiroa, right side of Tarangi, I just seen one grown-ass human take a shit on your lawn. She was wearing a cowboy hat and so was her partner who thought he was hiding her from sight, but I seen it all.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Wow. A female wearing a cowboy hat who was shielded by her partner. Yeah. Somebody said, did you get a photo? And she said, no, because I was driving and I wasn't looking at my phone while I was driving. But broad daylight and on a busy road, hiding behind her partner, a couple of cowboys laying down the law in Lower Hutt. If you see anything on your local
Starting point is 00:26:39 Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to us, FEMZM on Facebook. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. There is a debate raging after a handful of mums in Taupo. They were, well, they were swimming at a public spa thermal park. And the debate started after they saw someone wearing what they said was inappropriate togs, a G-string, in front of a family. I have seen a lot of those this summer season. They seem to be the tog du jour, don't they? In fash, bit of butt showing, and then like really high,
Starting point is 00:27:14 you pull them up really high. I find they don't hide enough at the front for me to pull that off. Oh, yeah, no. I thought you meant. We've all had a rogue ball at the front of our G-string togs. Everything was rogue. It was juststring tops. Everything was rogue. It was just a disaster. It was rogue everything.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So, yeah, she posted about this, and she said, one of the mums, I actually expected that most people would agree with me, especially parents of young and impressionable children. I obviously struck a nerve with a lot of people, but I never intended to belittle anyone. My opinion regarding G-strings in public hasn't changed. I don't have to prove I'm hot by prancing around in public
Starting point is 00:27:53 wearing a G-string. I don't have to prove I'm hot. Because the post got deleted, didn't it? It's been taken down. Yeah, it's been taken down, but not before people screenshot that. So, okay. Why do people care what other people wear?
Starting point is 00:28:07 Well, you've got children born, so her problem was impressionable children. If you were at a pool and there was people wearing G-strings, how would you feel about it in front of your kids? I don't care. So, you know how I feel because I grew up, I'm like in an atrocious family. You grew up at a nudist park. I've seen everything.
Starting point is 00:28:32 People get freaked out about having to explain things to their kids. But it's a bum. Yeah. People get freaked out about their kids seeing gay couples. Granted, that's on the decline, thankfully. Yeah. But, like, you just explained that that's what happens when people love each other. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:51 And it can be a man and a man or a woman and a woman or a man or a woman or... And having to explain things to your kids is part of parenting. Yeah. Why can I see that woman's bum? Well, that's just the kind of togs they're choosing to wear. But it's so strange to me because when I was young, really young, I just saw everyone naked.
Starting point is 00:29:13 And so you're like, oh, that's their boobs and that's their – And it's not like you – It's so normal. It's not like you turned out some weird kind of – I'm not a weird perv. Perv, because you're not. You're not at all. It's so...
Starting point is 00:29:25 Or are you? Do you go home and... And I still see, like, my family, we, like, shower and then someone will be in the bathroom brushing their teeth, like... Yeah, that's weird. I still wear that to my bathroom. But that's so normal to me.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah, right. And so if I saw someone's, a lot of butt cheek at the pool, I'm just like, oh, that's their butt. Like, I don't know. It's so strange to me that people find it that offensive and that it's a problem to kids because, yeah, when I was really young, grew up seeing everyone naked.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Do you remember having it explained to you or did you ever question your parents or you were going from such an age that it was just what you were used to? It was just what I was used to. Right, right. Yeah, sometimes it was like, sometimes people are to. It was just what I was used to. Right, right. Yeah. Sometimes it was like, sometimes people are not wearing their clothes and sometimes they are.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And I mean, I knew that if you're going to the supermarket or if you're going out somewhere you put clothes on. Yeah. Or if you're at a barbecue, like barbecuing food in the kitchen. That's for safety. Splatters. Yeah. And hygiene and stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:21 But like, it just wasn't a thing. It's like, it's so weird. Mm. But, yeah, let's, um. Let's not care. About a little butt cheek. Yeah. We've all got them.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, we do. All different shapes and sizes. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Colgate are releasing a vegan toothpaste. You might be thinking, was it not already vegan? But it was not. I was shocked. Clever from them too because they're pretty much saying,
Starting point is 00:30:52 yeah, all those other ones. Yeah, calling out themselves and others but also offering an alternative to their non-vegan toothpaste. Is this New Zealand or overseas? Smile for Good is in Europe at the moment. It's vegan friendly and comes in a recyclable tube, as most toothpaste tubes are not recyclable. They're made out of plastic and aluminium in close proximity,
Starting point is 00:31:12 making them difficult to recycle. This is made out of the same plastic as milk jugs, so that it's recyclable. So what's in toothpaste that's not vegan? Because I just sort of thought it's just chemicals. Glycerin. Oh, right, okay. Glycerin. Is that's not vegan? Because I just sort of thought it's just chemicals. Glycerin. Oh, right, okay. Glycerin.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Is that what makes it? Glycerin is the stuff made of like hoofs and bones and ligaments. What's the difference between glycerin and gelatin? Gelatin and glycerin. It's the same thing. Not glycerine, which is an explosive, I believe. So, yeah, it's derived from animal fat. And they're saying, well, we're using a plant-sourced glycerin as an alternative. Explosive, I believe. So yeah, it's derived from animal fat.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And they're saying, well, we're using a plant-sourced glycerin as an alternative. I got given some natural toothpaste once. I think we just got scented. And so they don't have all the foaming agents that are in normal. And it's horrible to use because it doesn't foam up in your mouth. It's just like having a big liquidy soup in your mouth. Even if you get it wet beforehand. Yeah, even if you wet it, it's like really weird. And it makes you realise like how...
Starting point is 00:32:10 How chemically the other one's nothing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I know. I want to get used to it, but it's really not a great mouthfeel. No. What about the charcoal stuff? No, but apparently that's bad for you because it's taking off your enamel. It's like scratching
Starting point is 00:32:26 off your enamel for your teeth. That's what I've read, but I mean, I'm not a toothpaste maker or a dentist, so maybe don't listen to me. Are you not? You're not a toothpaste maker? No, I'm not. The butcher, the baker, the toothpaste maker. Yeah. So they've released, you know, this one, but what else is in toothpaste
Starting point is 00:32:42 that makes it non-vegan? That is today's top six. Okay. And coming in at number know, this one. But what else is in toothpaste that makes it non-vegan? That is today's top six. Okay. And coming in at number six, antlers. Antlers are in a lot of this stuff. You're not joking, are you? What? Are you joking?
Starting point is 00:32:53 I'm sure there's been a toothpaste with an antler in it. Remember when... God, I don't know. Is Deer Velvet still heavily advertised to the older generation? I don't know. The retirees? Do you remember when Deer Velvet... Yeah, that was a thing.
Starting point is 00:33:05 It was a big thing. Yep. Is that the furry bits of an antler? Yeah. Deer Velvet. How was that helping
Starting point is 00:33:13 your body? It was super rich and I don't know. I remember the infomercial. Who was taking it? Was it Meadsie? Heaps of people. Heaps of people.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Celebrities were. He was a spokesperson for the Antlers. Number five on the list of the top six things in toothpaste that aren't vegan are beaver anal gland juice. Vanilla. That's vanilla. If there's any hint of vanilla
Starting point is 00:33:35 flavouring to your toothpaste, it's been okay. Number four on the list of the top six things in toothpaste that aren't vegan are honey wax. Like, you know the wax and honey? Yeah. Multiple uses.
Starting point is 00:33:50 It can be used like glycerin is a bonding agent. And those bees are slaves. Yeah, they are. That's not vegan at all. By the way, that glycerin stuff that we keep referring to is apparently, I looked up things that you should watch for if you're becoming a vegan. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:08 And this was pretty much the number one thing because it's really everything that's like gummy lollies. Oh. I couldn't be vegan because I love gummy lollies.
Starting point is 00:34:16 There's so much in that that people were like it's not even vegetarian. Oh really? Because it's straight up animal bits. Oh okay. Animal bits being made into yummy gummy lollies.
Starting point is 00:34:27 It's so hard to be an eco-warrior. And that's like worms. That's the sour worms. Sour worms, yep. That's your jet planes. Fruit jubes. Jubes. Yep.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Everything. The dinosaur, don't chop the dinosaur, daddy. Yeah, those yum licorices. Yeah. Because ordinary licorices. Yeah. Because ordinary licorices. Yeah. The red licorice. Strawberries.
Starting point is 00:34:48 The strawberry things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Strawberries with the red bottom and the green top. It's everywhere. It's everywhere. Number three on the list of the top six things in toothpaste is... Now I want lollies. Can we get lollies at our movie date?
Starting point is 00:35:01 Is 10am too early for lollies? Well, no. What does it say in the rule book? There are no rules. Yeah. Not a rule book. Yeah. Unless like Jenny Craig's got a rule book, then I'm imagining it would be in her rule book.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Number three on the list of the top six things in toothpaste that aren't vegan are horse hair. Okay. Number two. Can you be a vegan and play like the violin with like, because don't they have like. They don't make them out of horse hair. Oh, they don't. Was it cat guts?
Starting point is 00:35:29 What? What? It was cat guts and horse hair, wasn't it? It's not how they make strings. It's all synthetic. I know it is now, but back in the day, wasn't it? Oh, not that year. Cat guts, violin.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Cat guts, violin, strings. Thank you. I think cat gut is a type of cord that was prepared from a natural fibre found in the walls of animal intestines. Good Lord. Cat gut makers usually use sheep or goat intestines, but occasionally use a cat's. Oh, my God, that's terrible.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yeah, so back in the old days, they'd make a gut string. Oh, there's a video. You can watch a 642 video on YouTube about how to make them. Absolutely not. I'll pass at this stage, but I might come back to you later. Number two on the list of the top six things in toothpaste that aren't vegan. Lamb chops. And number one.
Starting point is 00:36:15 That's what you're trying to get out of your teeth. On the list. Oh, yeah. A rib. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man. How good are ribs and chops?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Number one on the list Are the top six things In toothpaste That aren't vegan Rissoles Rissoles Are found in toothpaste Your mum's rissoles Which are lovely
Starting point is 00:36:33 Jesus She needs to make year round Not just in summer For the bar of food Are you just hungry I am now For rissoles That is today's top six
Starting point is 00:36:40 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast New Zealand Has been named The fifth Fifth best country in the world for... Door opening sounds. Dating. I got sick of waiting for you to guess. We didn't even give us a chance.
Starting point is 00:37:04 That's what the door sound was for. Then I got signed track waiting for you to guess. We didn't even give us a chance. That's what the door sound was for. Then I got sidetracked by door sounds. For dating, what, like on apps and stuff? So seniordatingadvice.co.uk are the ones who did this survey. They surveyed 60 countries. Yep. 16,000 people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:21 And so the main reason New Zealand is as high as we are is you're more likely to find a date in person than online. Old fashioned dating is very prominent in New Zealand still, they've found. So the... What do they mean by people will meet on an app or
Starting point is 00:37:39 and then meet each other or do they mean they'll just meet out? No, you'll just meet outside of a dating app. Right. Oh, wow. Okay. But the five attributes which they rated these countries on were friendliness, fun, sexiness. We're fifth.
Starting point is 00:37:53 That means we're fifth sexiest. Didn't when we were away in the last couple of weeks, wasn't the New Zealand accent voted number one? Oh, am I? It was. I mean. Google it. I'm pretty sure that happened when we were away.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Wait, number one sexiest. Yeah, sexiest accent. What were we in the past? We were like three or something, weren am I? It was. I mean. Google it. I'm pretty sure that happened when we were away. Like number one sexiest. Yeah, sexiest accent. What were we in the past? We were like three or something, weren't we? We've been up there. We've gone up to number one. But there's nothing like going away from New Zealand and coming back to realise like how. Do you think?
Starting point is 00:38:17 How. Who is rated the sexiest in the world? Who are some sexy Kiwis that are doing it for it? KJ Appa is like probably helping at the moment. But then he puts on an American accent. No, but when he does interviews, he's Kiwi. Quaint, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Yeah, right. So sexiness, trustworthiness and approachability are the five criteria. Right, and New Zealand had that. We're fifth. Right. Who's above us? Australia is number four. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Australia is number four. Australia is number four. Third is Spain. Second is Italy and the number one country to go dating in, best for dating, is Brazil. Come to Brazil. They are the sexiest, they are the
Starting point is 00:38:59 friendliest, fun, trustworthyest and approachable. I don't know. Have you been to Brazil? I've seen enough, you know, movies. Recreations of historical events in South America. No, Brazil's not safe and fun all the time. Well, we should cross to our South American correspondent,
Starting point is 00:39:19 Carl Fletcher. I certainly have been there, and I felt safe. Brazil? Yeah, Brazil. Right. Yeah, I didn't feel unsafe. Were they sexy? They're certainly sexy. I mean, I wasn't arguing that point. What a stupid question.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Are Brazilians sexy? Of course. Was that your main reason for going back there? What do I mean going back? No, I've only been once. I've only been once. Okay, well how was your experience? Well, it was lovely. I got to see that big Jesus statue. Christ the Redeemer. Christ the Redeemer. Lovely beach, the Rio Beach. It's lovely, lovely country.
Starting point is 00:39:46 And then the dating scene? Wouldn't know. Are they still like skating on the dating of the Olympics when the Olympics were there in 2016? What do you mean? Because that would have made dating quite hot. Oh yeah, no, I just think
Starting point is 00:40:01 generally they're very... Dancing, I'd imagine a date would include a samba. I don't know if that's... A tango. Would there be tangoing? I don't know. Or have I gone too stereotypical? Yeah, you've gone very stereotypical.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Right. Because I'd be scared to date over there because I can't tango, I can't mamba. Yeah, right, okay. I can't salsa. Can't do any kind of sexy dance. Flamenco. Yeah, no, I'd stand out on the dance floor as the guy just awkwardly standing there holding his drink with both hands.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We want to know this morning when someone got your details in a creepy fashion and you can text us in. Because this is it. Like, I wouldn't have thought this happens anymore. Like, I wouldn't have thought this happens anymore. No, I wouldn't have thought that. Because this story that you've found is creepy. Yeah. Or you can
Starting point is 00:40:52 call us. I know at $100.00, we'll text 9696 with your stories of how someone got your details. Because this story comes from America. This has been in court, so it happened a little while ago. But she's suing American Airlines, a passenger called Ashley. She was just getting on at San Diego to travel to Chicago
Starting point is 00:41:11 when she got a text message from a number she didn't know saying hello and how are you doing? And then, by the way, I must tell you, you're gorgeous. Thank you, says Ashley. Who is this? How did you get my number? Can I ask, at this stage what would you say if you were single and got that text message, Megan? I would have said, don't look at me like I would have been like oh my god, thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I would have been like, who is this? I would have been like, oh my god, thank you, but who is this? Yeah. Thank you. Are you hot before I get angry at the help? Yeah, I definitely would have been like, yes, now I'm angry. So then it said, you guess. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:41:50 That's creepy. That's creepy. I just saw you at the airport. So she said she didn't reply. And then it said, I saw you at the airport again. You're looking very gorgeous. Is this another text? In the grey top today.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Yes. Onwards. Onwards. No. She was wearing the grey shirt at the time Looking around Trying to find out Who's texting her See at that point I think it was a friend
Starting point is 00:42:07 Being a dick Yeah Because no one's that creepy 100 text messages Came in as part of this And she said It got to the point Where she knew
Starting point is 00:42:17 That they were also On the plane The person was saying I can get you better tickets I can get you better seats I see you back there I can get you better seats So she's like They they're on the plane.
Starting point is 00:42:26 And obviously working or part of the airline in some capacity, they can get better seats. Yeah. They said, you better tell me if you want these seats because the phones aren't going to work once we're airborne, blah, blah, blah. And they said, you're telling me I get, because they said you gave me your number. She's like, when did I give you my number?
Starting point is 00:42:46 And then they said, truth be told, I got it from your bag tag. So this is where you write on your suitcase, your name, your address, your number in case your suitcase get lost and then it's super easy to track you down. So they were an airline employee. Checking her out? Who must have been at some part of the check-in. Wow. Phrase. Phr Wow. Phrase.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Phrase? Phrase. So they got the number, maybe just took a photo of it on their phone, so it was quick. They didn't need to hold the bag so it didn't look suspicious. And then they started messaging her.
Starting point is 00:43:17 And that's when she said, that's not okay. And then the text messages just kept coming. Is this season three of you? It could be. And she said to one of the flight attendants, this is the situation, explained it, was very worried, felt threatened, was in tears.
Starting point is 00:43:37 The flight attendant moved to a completely different part of the plane and then reported the person. And apparently as they got off the aircraft, what looked like security guards were accompanying this person. Now, that's when the flight attendant said to Ashley, the passenger who'd been receiving all this, this isn't the first time he's done this. There shouldn't have been a second time.
Starting point is 00:44:00 No. American Airlines have said the person is no longer an employee. Shouldn't have been after the first time. And they're going to have to pay out for this guy who's a creep. Yeah. It's not their fault he's a creep. Although if they'd known about the first time, then fair enough, they should have taken action and got rid of him.
Starting point is 00:44:19 He should have known he was going to get in trouble because if you're not getting any reception back from the person and then he reveals how he got her number But he's obviously deluded. Yeah, right. And he has this big thing in his mind that oh wow, that's creepy. Yeah. So you want to see if this has happened to anyone? Yeah. How did someone
Starting point is 00:44:38 get your contact details? Like what was the Like maybe, yeah, you in the course of having your number in some database or something or someone's work, they've got it out of there and hit you up. Yeah. But you just can't get away with that.
Starting point is 00:44:52 No. And I just don't think you're ever going to get a good reception from someone. No. Because you're going to creep about it. Maybe people have been hit up and they've gone on a date with someone. I don't know. They got your details.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Imagine finding out like months down the track if you'd been dating and everything was going well and they're like, okay, funny story. I simply must tell you how I got your details. And then they tell you and you're like, oh, that's not good. Yeah. Okay, well, has this ever happened to you? Or maybe you know of it happening to someone. Has anyone ever got your personal details and hit you up?
Starting point is 00:45:27 0800DARLS.M, you can text us 9696. We're talking in America, American Airlines being sued by a passenger whose number was acquired by a member of the staff and she was messaged. Yeah. Sort of relentlessly. Creepily.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Made her feel very unsafe. You would be amazed how much this happens here. Amazed. I went to prison for visits and a guard got my number and started texting me. It was very creepy because you have to sign in. Yeah, right. But they said they lodged a complaint and that person no longer works there. Because I was thinking you've got to be careful who you give your number to and, like, you know, just be a little bit cautious. But, like, in those circumstances, you've got no choice.
Starting point is 00:46:11 You know, you've got to put your trust in the security guards and the powers. You should be able to trust them. Yeah. Let's take some calls. Stephanie, what happened? Oh, hi, guys. This is so weird. Welcome to the show.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I always hear you say this to other people, like, in my car, but I'm never, like, on the radio. It's you. It's your time, Stephanie. It's your time, Stephanie. This is all about you right now. So I'm a nursing student and happened way back, like, in my first semester kind of thing.

Starting point is 00:47:15 eerie. Yeah. It kind of got to the fact that I was like asking around and people were just like oh like I thought you knew him and then I was like oh. He went to this party and didn't know anyone. Well, I think he knew one person, but it was like such a loose connection that it was just weird.
Starting point is 00:47:35 That is creepy. It's like that weird uncle that you see at a... Yeah, oh, creepy. Oh, God. And so did you have to, did it end there? Did you say, I don't want anything to do with you? Yeah, well, I had to get, like, one of my friends, and I was just like, because she was just like,
Starting point is 00:47:52 oh, you've got to do it really nicely, because it could kind of blow up in your face if he's acting like this, and you haven't really done anything. Yeah, good call, good call. But yeah, now I don't have my name. I just have, like, a nickname on my badge. Yeah, it should have been, yeah. Yeah, like,, your friend was right and it has to be handled well.
Starting point is 00:48:09 But at the same time, it's not up to you to handle it well if you've been doing it wrong in the first place. Stephanie, thanks. You're cool. Joyce, what happened? How did someone get your number? So I run and I had to go to a specific shop to get fitted for new shoes. And so I went in with my partner and the guy met my partner and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And then so he said, I need to book in with the psychiatrist in store. So I went, I booked in, they put your number in a manual book, like just writing it down. Right. And then I went in for that. And then after that appointment, I got this random text saying, hey, how are you? And when I asked who it was, they're like, oh, don't tell your boyfriend. And then. Wow.
Starting point is 00:48:54 And then eventually down the track, he was like, oh, well, I thought you were single. Oh, no. Don't tell your boyfriend. He knew very well. He knew. Joyce, thanks for your call. Anonymous, what happened? So I took my car into a car dealership for your service.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yeah. And you know how you give them a number to call you at the end of the day when your car's finished? Yeah. So he took very good care of me and being very nice. Yeah, he was all right. And then at the end of the day he ended up texting me finding me on Facebook stalking me and finding me on Instagram and messaging me
Starting point is 00:49:31 oh my god and then because obviously it's such a small place that I live in I always see him around all the time now oh no and if he turns out as I stalked him back he actually has a girlfriend plot twist wow So he turns out as well, I stalked him back. He actually has a girlfriend. Oh! Plot twist. Wow. Thanks, Anonymous. This is something I said. I was at New World and I said my number out loud to get the club card.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Oh, okay. I was signing up for a club card. The guy in the line behind me wrote it down and started texting me. Creepy at first, but we've actually been dating for two years now. Well, we asked for success stories. So it's okay when they're hot and creepy, is it? Is that how this works? Apparently. That's the rule.
Starting point is 00:50:19 It becomes more sweet. Right. If they're hot. Yeah, okay. Somebody said, I had a beard dropped off to me And the truck driver That dropped it off Took my number
Starting point is 00:50:27 From the delivery sheet And texted me Asking me to be his princess So that was scary Because he knew exactly Where I lived Oh yeah And had my number
Starting point is 00:50:34 Lots of Oh man Crazy stories like that Somebody else said That they were getting Their car serviced And the guy Because they were replacing the,
Starting point is 00:50:46 you know when the boot goes up and it goes psss and holds it up? Yep. One of those things. Like a strut. A gas strut. A gas strut. Needed replacing. And he was very nice but super shy.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Couldn't look me in the eye. And then at the end of the day, I started getting text messages from him because my number was associated to my account. Oh, yeah. At that mechanics. And then when I ignored them, they got really abusive. So the shy little person that couldn't look me in the eye later became creepy.
Starting point is 00:51:10 See, that's the thing. It's creepy because you don't know what's going to happen if you don't reciprocate the feelings. Yeah. So I think we can safely say, if you are thinking about getting someone's number from the customer database, don't do it. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Don't do it. Don't. And lots of people have lost their jobs too, by the way. Oh, really? Lots of people have messaged in saying that when this happened, they told the business that they got the database from. They said, oh, somebody at your work's got my number, and they laid them off, which is fair enough.
Starting point is 00:51:42 The person that did it? Yeah. Oh, okay. I thought you were meaning the person who dropped them in. No, no, no, no, no, no. That's good. That's good. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:51:49 The person who used it. Okay. A misappropriate. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I didn't think this was a big deal, but apparently it is. It needs to be talked about. It is because if this was a woman, we're all for equal rights on the show, Bourne, and if this was a woman getting targeted for her body,
Starting point is 00:52:10 everyone would be upset. We'd say something. Yeah, so we want to stand up for you. We want you to stand up for yourself. I don't care. I don't care about your chicken legs. I don't need to draw any more attention to it. And you say that and then you laugh.
Starting point is 00:52:23 We may have... And you guys say it more you laugh. We may have. And you guys say it more than anybody. We may have encouraged this. Yeah, you've stoked the fire. You lit the fire and you stoked the fire. But now you're like, oh, no, everything's caught on fire. Well, yeah, that's just what you do on radio, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:52:40 That's what you two do to me all the time. Push people to breaking point. Take the piss out of me all the time. About something. And nickname my husband Toyboy so that now that's literally what he gets called all the time. And people give me crap all the time. But he legally changed. Because you lit the fire. He legally changed his name to Mr. Toyboy.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, but I mean, regardless. Yeah. That's just because everyone calls him that, so you know. Right. Yeah. It's a hot brand. Yeah, it's a hot brand. It's welcome. Everyone's trying to get on board hot brand. Yeah, it's a hot brand. It's welcome.
Starting point is 00:53:06 Everyone's trying to get on board with it. Well, let's be honest. Yeah, everybody wants a toy boy these days. It drives customers to the cafe, doesn't it? Oh, does it what? And Megan doesn't get there till after work, so if you want to un-interrupted perv. Born.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Beaufort and Co. You're welcome. Yeah. He's only being nice to you because you're paying him. Just saying. Who? He's not flirting. Just to you because you're paying him. Just saying. Who? He's not flirting. Just to people, like, he's not flirting back.
Starting point is 00:53:29 I thought you were specifically talking to me that he's only being nice to me because I'm paying him. I'm like, I'm not paying him, am I? With your patronage. Yeah, yeah. Okay, with patronage. Okay. What were we talking about? Oh, your legs.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Back to your legs. My legs, yeah. A photo was put up of us with Lizzo. Yeah. And we were standing. Also, a photo was put up of us with Lizzo. Yeah. And we were standing. By the way, she's hilarious. You might have, if you heard our interview yesterday, she's amazing.
Starting point is 00:53:51 She's awesome. Played FOMO last night. If you want to see the interview, Facebook page, Instagram, FEMZM. But the photo that was put up. I was wearing shorts. Yeah. And shoes.
Starting point is 00:54:01 I don't know if that made it look worse or what. Because I've got long feet. Okay. I'm like a size 11 and a half, sometimes a 12. You know that pair of shoes? You are not 11 and a half, 12. Don't add an inch. That pair of shoes that I bought, that was an 11, won't even go near me.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Yeah, but that brand, you always have to go up a size. No, but this is them and this is an 11 and a half. Yeah, but you always have to go up. 29 and a half centimetres. Now, the Japanese know how to measure a foot. Right. They go in centimetres. No, but this is them and this is an 11 and a half. Yeah, but you always have to go up and... 29 and a half centimetres. Now, the Japanese know how to measure a foot. Right. They go in centimetres.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Yeah, right. So there's no confusion. Yeah. But everybody else, it changes. Yeah, it does. It wanders. Not the Japanese.
Starting point is 00:54:34 They're onto something there. But anyway... Yeah, not a US 12. Just stop trying to up you. You're a 12, aren't you? I'm a 12. Yeah, you're like... Yeah, it's impossible
Starting point is 00:54:41 for me to be a US 12 if you are. Why? Because you're an 11. What, centimetre? 29.5 centimetres. 29 and a half. Okay, it's impossible for me to be US 12 if you are. Why? Because you're an 11. He's made a 29.5 centimeter. 29 and a half. Okay, it does say it's 11.5. He's 11 and a half.
Starting point is 00:54:53 And I've got a wider foot, and it's all about girth. Mine's wide as well. I don't know why we wouldn't have a competition on who's got the most clown-looking feet when they wear chucks. Yeah, pretty much, yeah. But, yeah, I don't know if that was it. It doesn't bother me though because I've known I've got small, it's a genetic thing. Well, your dad has the same. I come from a long line of men who have had skinny lower half of leg.
Starting point is 00:55:16 But yeah, people were like, it became the focal point of the photo. Somebody commented saying, I can't stop looking at Vaughan's skinny legs. And then somebody commented on that saying, I can't unsee it now that you've mentioned it. Is it a optical illusion? Are you leaning forward a little bit? Like... I don't... I have to have a look at the photo. Maybe a little bit.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Because then like your front, the top half of your body is more towards the camera. Somebody asked if you'd if we'd photoshopped your legs for that photo. No. Megan. But it does because it's a really white wall behind it
Starting point is 00:55:50 and my legs are only on the surface. I touch the white wall. Oh, no, no, no. I've got skinny legs. They're all right. That is true. You're skipping leg day, bruh. No, I don't even do leg day.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Yeah, that's what I mean. You're skipping it. Don't skip leg day. Even when I was going to the gym heaps. No, it's not. It's just what they are. It's what's what I mean. You're skipping it. Don't skip leg day. Even when I was going to the gym heaps nah, it's not. It's just what they are. It's what they are, mum. And I'm fine with it. I don't mind. People are like, skip leg day. It's like, no,
Starting point is 00:56:13 I've done that and it didn't change anything. You should just wear like big socks and then put some chicken fillies in there. In the back. Like calf implants. Well, no, that wouldn't help because it's the skinny ankle. Like that would look ridiculous. Okay. I wouldn't help because it's the skinny ankle like that would look ridiculous okay I didn't seriously consider it
Starting point is 00:56:29 but somebody said once oh you know they do calf implants and I was like someone said that to you yeah I know because I was having a conversation about skinny legs they just didn't come out of nowhere
Starting point is 00:56:37 with it that would have been a little much road yeah like this but I said have you thought about how ridiculous that would look
Starting point is 00:56:43 given how skinny my ankle is? Yeah. Because then it would go wide and then it would probably even only make it look more like a chicken. Yeah. Like, I don't even think
Starting point is 00:56:51 they could handcuff your ankles because you just slide them right off. No, because the foot's wide. No, because he's got an 11 and a half size foot. And a girthy foot. Ah, right. So it's your wide foot
Starting point is 00:57:00 that stops you being detained by the ankles. Yeah. I'm just looking at that photo now. We all look a little top heavy. You bitch. Great, I love this. That was a terrible photo.
Starting point is 00:57:16 That was it. It's a terrible photo. I blame Anya, who on her second or third day of the job took a terrible photo because she was too afraid to ask Lizzo to take another photo. What do you say to Lizzo? Hey, Lizzo, smile. Like, she gets it.
Starting point is 00:57:32 No, you don't tell her to smile. You don't tell her to do anything. You just retake the photo. Just say I'm going to take it from another angle because of an excuse. And then you just. Because these guys look terrible. It sounds like you guys are trying to put your top-heavy issues onto me, and I don't.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Can we all just call it off? Me top-heavy, you bitches. I think it's more of our expressions that would have warranted a retake of the photo. You can take as many photos as you want. Do we have that many wrinkles, or is it the lighting? Look, I'm not a magician, Megan. Okay? Well, we can't go back and take that photo, can we?
Starting point is 00:58:07 No. At least you know we put up the photos we hate as well. At the start. Exactly. It's all up there. Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Today's fact of the day came about in an organic manner. Last night we've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:58:32 We were watching the TV show Chair, which is a Netflix series about this chair team. And you cried a couple of times. I cried a couple of times. That's good. And that's okay. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's an indication it's a good watch.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah, it is. It's an emotional watch. I'm going to watch it and see if I cry. You're going to bad thing. It's an indication it's a good watch. Oh, is it? Yeah, it is. It's an emotional watch. I'm going to watch it and see if I cry. You're going to hate it. It's too emotional for you. Too much drama. No, but I think he'll really like some of the characters. I'm right here.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Very big characters. I'm right here. I don't know. Shush, we're talking about you, not to you. Yeah, but I feel like he'll be just like, oh, so much drama. This is too much. He loves a bit of drama.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I'm right here. He thrives on it. I'm right here. You can talk to me. He's an idiot, isn't he, this is too much. He loves a bit of drama. I'm right here. He thrives on it. I'm right here, you can talk to me. He's such an idiot, isn't he? Moron. Yeah. So emotionally stunted. He wants to get involved in conversations that he's not part of.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Yeah. He's in the room, but we don't need him to be a part of it. It's set in Texas. This Netflix show is set in Texas. And I said, and I don't know because we haven't watched it all. Okay. I bet at some stage in this, that song Deep in the Heart of Texas will be in it. Deep in the heart of Texas.
Starting point is 00:59:32 I can't remember. It might have been. Because Texans love that song. Okay. That's like the Texas song. If you don't know what song I'm talking about, 1941, this is the. The stars at night. I mean mean you could have Cued it up to this
Starting point is 00:59:47 I don't know Deep in the heart of Texas It does make you want to do That stompy walk Yeah and wear a big hat It's wide and high Deep in the heart of Texas Now the clapping
Starting point is 01:00:01 Is what I want to talk about Because I looked up the song Because I don't think my wife Knew what the song was So I looked it up And I was like the clapping How do you know what the clapping is what I want to talk about because I looked up the song because I don't think my wife knew what the song was. Yep. So I looked it up and I was like the clapping. What the song is.
Starting point is 01:00:09 How do I know that song? I know that song. Movies and TV shows. Yeah, right. That's why I said whenever there's something about Texas, it's always
Starting point is 01:00:17 Be a fan of the heart of Texas. Oh, this isn't going to be one of those Friends theme song how many claps thing, is it? Oh, no, no. Oh, good. Maybe this inspired the one of those Friends theme song, how many claps thing, is it? Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Oh, good. Maybe this inspired the claps. That's four. I can't remember what we settled on there. I think it's four. The song came out in 1941. So it's older than I thought. And in 1942, it had five different versions of the same song
Starting point is 01:00:40 in the Billboard charts. You imagine if a song got released. Yeah. And there were five versions of it in the top 100. Ed Sheer if a song got released and there were five versions of it in the top 100. Ed Sheeran's like, here's my song, and then he's like, and then I've done one with a flute. No, he wasn't in the next one.
Starting point is 01:00:53 Someone else covered it. Different covers. Did Polly... Dolly Parton... Did Polly Darton... She was the ripple of Dolly Parden. Jolly Parden.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Did she do one? I feel like she sung one. She's 100% she will have sung it at some stage, but I can't see here that she's released an official single version of it. But it was so popular. It was everywhere in the world. And you think 1942, World War. Everyone's involved in the war by this time.
Starting point is 01:01:25 America's involved. England's been at war for years. The BBC banned the song being played on air during working hours. This is today's fact of the day. Due to the fact that wartime factory workers couldn't resist clapping and they would neglect their tools and a central wartime building whenever the song came on. Wow. So they're all riveting things together and drilling and putting tanks
Starting point is 01:01:53 and planes together and then that song comes on and they're deep in the heart of... But could they not afford them a couple of claps to keep them happy? They couldn't afford them. Even for morale. I would have thought that's why outside of working hours. Yep. A-okay.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Yeah, right. In the midst of working hours, which I don't have the official working hours, but imagine wartime you'd stretch your working hours, wouldn't you? Yeah. You'd be doing a longer day. Say so. It was necessary. But they banned it on the BBC because of the fact that nobody could resist.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Clapping. The clapping along to the clapping part. Wow. There is quite a few clapping parts too. Well literally every line ends with the clapping. Do you think if we played the Friends theme song, if you had a
Starting point is 01:02:38 drill or a hammer, would you put it down and clap? I've been holding things and they come and I put it under my arm to do the clap. Yeah. Be irresistible. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:02:49 But luckily, when that came out in the 1990s, we weren't, everyone wasn't at war. No. In the midst of a world war building bombers
Starting point is 01:02:57 at breakneck speed, et cetera. So today's fact of the day is the Clap Along Classic in the heart of Texas was banned during work hours in World War II because everybody just couldn't resist clapping. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Starting point is 01:03:28 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We are getting The Bachelor at New Zealand the 27th of January.

Do you speak anything else? A little bit. You speak it perfectly. As I've been saying, I speak a little bit of French. Je ne sais quoi. Okay, so where else have you lived?
Starting point is 01:04:38 What a mystery. What an international man of mystery. Yeah, not too bad, right? So I've lived in Jersey in the UK. I lived in Malawi in Africa. I lived in Scotland, right? So I've lived in Jersey in the UK, lived in Malawi in Africa, lived in Scotland, Aussie, taught English in South Korea, lived in the US for a couple years as well in my 20s. Good lord.
Starting point is 01:04:51 Yeah, so very mixed. Does that make you a hard man to tie down though? Yeah, apparently. Apparently, yeah, this one's still single, right? But like, are you keen to stay in one place now? Yeah, New Zealand time. New Zealand time, this is where I want to be, this's why I'm still single, right? But, like, are you keen to stay in one place now? Yeah, New Zealand time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:06 New Zealand time. This is where I want to be. This is where I want to settle down, raise a family, do all that good stuff. Nice. Absolutely. Ryan, Malawi piqued my interest. What took you to Africa?
Starting point is 01:05:16 So that was when I was quite young growing up. So my dad teaches psychology, so we sort of moved around early on because of his job. Yeah. And then, yeah, some of the other places was just when I was setting out and doing my own thing in life. Doing travelling. Amazing.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Tattoos on your arms. What have we got there? I can see a rose. Yeah, so I've got quite a few roses as well, so I'm pretty much perfect for the show. Yeah, she's waiting for a rose for you. I bought my own. Yeah, don't worry about that.
Starting point is 01:05:42 See you next week. So what does it signify for you? The tattoos. Yeah. All the roses. The roses I just love for my family, love for my friends, love for life. Nice. Tell us about the show.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Was there any drama? I know you can't give anything away, but we have heard that the guys can be just as bitchy. There was definitely a little bit of drama. Yeah, I had beef with a couple of the boys as well. Really? Because I was going to say you seem like quite a casual, like more of a lover than a fighter. Oh, I'm definitely more of a lover, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:14 But you've got to stick up for yourself sometimes. Yeah, right. People talk shit about you. And yeah, I don't think any of the boys in the house had a problem doing that. Right. I can't wait to see this. Now, you lived at the mansion?
Starting point is 01:06:28 Yep, lived at the mansion. You lived at the mansion and we're having a pool party at the mansion. What filtration system are we running on the pool? Is it chlorine? Is it a mineral? Is it salt? I've got no idea, to be fair.
Starting point is 01:06:39 When you jumped in, what could you taste? Did your eyes get stingy? Did your eyes get stingy? Did you open your eyes under water? Yeah, yeah. I think they can see. Do I get an invite to the pool party? Sure.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Okay, cool. If you want to come. You're not contractually obliged to have to come. And I don't know if he's in charge of invites, but yeah, sure. Yeah. I can dish these. Yeah, easy. Yeah, sounds good.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Okay, because I'm sure we'll have... Well, I won't be in the pool, so there'll be room. Yeah. Because I'm going to be dealing with the filtration. Right, okay, yeah. Make sure the pH levels are fine. Yeah. What we need to add,
Starting point is 01:07:10 what we need to take out. That's the only reason you're lingering in the pool. Actually, that just looks even more creepier if you're just like, I'm just here for the pH. Because I'm going to be in a gym that is overall. Yeah. I'm just here to monitor the pH.
Starting point is 01:07:21 I don't know if you've wheezed. That's what I'm saying. All right, well, best of luck. We look forward to seeing you on The Bachelorette. Cool, awesome. I'm't know if you've wheezed. That's what I'll say. All right, well, best of luck. We look forward to seeing you on The Bachelorette. Cool, awesome.
Starting point is 01:07:28 I'm excited. Thanks, guys. Flesh, Fawn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We know that exercise can help
Starting point is 01:07:35 your mental health, releases endorphins, makes you feel good. Yep. But up until now, it doesn't seem like there's been like a definition
Starting point is 01:07:43 of which kind of training. So between strength and cardio. I just thought any exercise would have been pretty good for you, right? Well, no, of course, any would be. But there is one that if you add to your weekly exercise plan, that can help you a lot. So studies being done on people who suffer from depression and they split them into groups, one doing like aerobic exercise and the other doing strength.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Now, when I say strength, that doesn't necessarily mean lifting weights. That means lunges and squats as well. So anything that's like directly, you know, that's not aerobic. Yeah, okay. So the, and I've also found that the vast majority of the population are doing no strength training. So mostly cardio.
Starting point is 01:08:31 Okay. So the ones that added at least one strength training session to their workout per week, it reduced the likelihood of feelings of depression. Even just one workout in a week? You only have to, they say, add one strength training session to your weekly. Right. So even if you're more of a cardio person, even if you're just doing some lunges, some
Starting point is 01:08:59 squats, even some push-ups, that would help. The strength training really helps your mental health. But they've also said that combining the two is the best thing for mental health. But if you're just doing cardio, add some strength training. It can make you feel better. Yeah, but it's when you can't be bothered.
Starting point is 01:09:18 Like, that's the hard bit, isn't it? When you can't be bothered, I find you do the weights, don't you? Because you're like, I can't be bothered running. Well, yeah, that's true. But I'm just saying, even when you can't be bothered. No, that's the weights, don't you? Because you're like, I can't be bothered running. Well, yeah, that's true. But I'm just saying even when you do the weights by pulling into the car park and waiting in the car and then driving out. That's the weights.
Starting point is 01:09:32 I waited for a car park. I didn't have time. I ran out of time. I tried. Yeah, that's when you wait for longer than a minute because it's a plural of a minute. So it's weights. So you haven't waited.
Starting point is 01:09:42 You've done the weights. Right. But then it's hard to watch a Netflix show when you're doing the weights. Because sometimes I'm like, I really want to watch a show, so you just go on the treadmill. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is the one you go on when you just cross trainer.
Starting point is 01:09:56 The cross trainer. That's the one you go on when you don't really want to be there, but you want to watch your Netflix show because they've got faster Wi-Fi than you do at home. Yeah. And you can watch it in like a high definition. At least you're doing something. Like 100%.
Starting point is 01:10:08 If you're watching a Netflix show for half an hour and you're doing half an hour on the cross train that's great. 100%.
