ZM. Head music. Live the air. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Welcome to the show Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. That snuck up on me. What the show? Still don't have my headphones out of their little pouch. Classic Vaughan. Yeah. I'm there now though.

Great. So the coronavirus is now a communicable disease. What does that mean? I think Parliament had to do that yesterday, didn't they? Yeah. So that means that if they suspect you of having this, they can just lock you up, isolate you. Put you in isolation. And a big old chest freezer.

Yeah, quarantine you. And they open the chest freezer and pass you food and then shut it and the light goes off again. Did you see the Google... Freezing up, I've done. Did you see the Google... Fraser's not quite done. Did you see the Google spike for Corona Bear virus? Corona Bear virus?

Yeah, Corona Bear virus has spiked on Google searches in the last, like, week. Why are people searching that? Because it's called the Corona virus. I don't know, but... Oh, wow. Why are they searching the...

Do you think they're just typing in corona and Google auto-completes beer and then they keep typing in its virus? Maybe, maybe. Or people think it's called the coronavirus. Right. Unsure. Or people search it for funny memes.

Corona shares. It's probably done the wonders, to be honest. I wonder if their sales are going up. Even just every time someone says coronavirus, I just think of the beer. It's probably done the wonders, to be honest. I wonder if their sales are going up. Even just every time someone says coronavirus, I just think of the beer. And then someone's like, oh, I could do with a corona. No such thing as bad publicity until it wipes out half the Earth's population.

Yeah. Well, that's going to affect your sales, isn't it? Oh, a little bit, yeah. The top six is coming up. Yeah, the election date has been set. September 19th, we'll be heading back to the polls. Who's it going to be? National, Labour, New Zealand First, United Future,

Act, the Māori Party, the Greens. Who else? That's it, eh? The McGilliguddy Sirius Party. About time they stuck their hand up again and had another go. Have a laugh. There'll be, well, there hand up again and had another go. Had a laugh. There'll be, well, there'll probably be a couple of parties to have a laugh at. But the top six reasons September 19 is a bad date for an election.

Right. Coming up on the show today, you're promising us a new segment today after 8 o'clock. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah, this one popped into my head yesterday, actually. You've been in the recording, and you went into the recording studio. You made an intro. Yep.

I've recorded a little thing. How many people know about this? Me. Al, because he had to record. Yep. Pingers, because she popped in during the record. Okay, yeah. I think Executive Intern Anya.

Oh, right, okay. Has an inkling. What's the general reception been? Hot, hot reception. Hot reception. Hot reception to a brand new feature. And we're giving this prime time, 8 o'clock. This is prime.

You're not going to mess this up. No. Well, we'll see. It's the first time. All right, you lot, listen up. It's Storytime. Storytime, three news headlines. And Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one only.

And no Googling. We got my cow prod yet, intern Anya? Executive intern? Do you kill a cattle prod? We're not listening yesterday. No, we're getting a cattle prod, one of those ones that's a metre long. And if Megan or Vaughan Google during Story time, I'm allowed to electrocute them. Just momentarily.

I don't think that's how it works. She can't figure it out and make her microphone work. No, it's on. She's not turning her on. She's just not talking. She's talking into it. Why isn't it working, Anya? It's on.

It's up and on. You're up and on. I figured it out. Hello. That's why you're still an executive intern, isn't it? Hey, but look, I'm slow off the mark, but I'm here. I'm ready for the race. I really wanted that to be Fletcher's fault.

No, it wasn't. Me too. 100% wasn't my fault. I should have just kept mouthing and pretended I didn't work out the problem. Yeah. Cattle prod, absolutely. Yeah, I'll make it happen. Thank you.

Roger that. Because we've got lots of budget, eh? Because it's the start of the year. Is that how it works? Yeah, this is why it happens every year though. We blow it at the start of the year. On silly things. For things we need later, there's nothing. Alright, well my three headlines today. Man cashes out of casino. Doctor sued for doing his

job. And headline three. Mum's embarrassment. Mum's embarrassment. Did you say man sued for doing his job? Doctor sued for doing his job, yep. Mum's embarrassment. I'm kind of... Yeah, I'm kind of keen for that one. Because mum is embarrassed.

Not mum has caused embarrassment. Mum was embarrassed. Mum was embarrassed. Yeah, mum, you want that one? Yeah. Alright, we go to the UK now, where a five-year-old daughter was off to her friend's house or school or wherever, and she saw a, I guess what she thought was a nice little bracelet.

She thought, I'm going to give this bracelet to my friend because it's cute and purple and it's got a thing on top of it. Yeah, she gave it. I've borne his mouth for the boss. It's a ring. It's a bracelet. How girthy is

Dad's ding dong? It's a ding dong ring. It's a ding dong ring. You know, but it's stretchy, right? Yeah. I believe they're stretchy, yeah. So she, yeah. She's saying it's a bracelet.

Yeah, so. You cut off your circulation. The mum, Carla. Thumb ring. The mum, Carla, received a text message from her daughter's friends. Thumb ring. What's a, No, sorry. No, but you know, a little kid would be like, it's a ring.

But then they don't, in my experience. Do you remember when we had a whole lot at work? Yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah. Yeah, good. I'm glad it wasn't just me. It took a couple. How were we approaching that? Were we

like, oh, the Black Thunders are outside bloody the Zed service station. Go down in the next 10 to 15 minutes and get a vibrating ring. Ding dong ring. Were we doing that? I don't know. A ding dong ring wrong. There were heaps around work and everyone's like, ha ha lols and then suddenly they weren't anymore.

Shriek, shriek, shrink, shrink, shrink, shrink. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, my God, what are those like? Is anybody like, ah! Grabbing a handful. This mum, Carla, received a text message from her daughter's friend's mum with a snap of the vibrating ring.

Oh, God. And a message that said, she might have been in your stuff, lol. Those? And she had realised that she'd actually taken it from her mum's room. Not fresh out the foil? Like she didn't take it

in the foil bag because they were going to foil it. Oh, unsure. Doubtful. She just found it in mum's drawer. She'd actually worn

the vibrating purple bracelet at school and handed it over to her friend on the way home on the bus. Oh, they've all touched it. They've all touched it, yeah.

You don't tell the kid, are you? You're just like, no, that's mummy's bracelet. I think you tell her or you put it up on a slideshow at the 21st.

Oh, yeah, definitely. On the projector. Just like, I need a video. Just press the vibrating thing on and I just get a quick video. You've got to imagine that. Oh, God. Mum just needs a quick video. I've got to imagine that. Oh God.

Mum just needs a quick video of you. Yeah, so Mum's going to have to find a new hiding spot, I think. Lord. Yikes.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We've had another celebrity here sneak in and I think she snuck out. Already? Already,

I think. Right. Or maybe she just wants us to think that she's already snuck out. Marie Kondo was here You might remember What was her The title of her

Netflix show Sparking Joy That's what she told you To do Tidying stuff Don't be a messy bee Magic of tidying up Put it in the bin

Your mother doesn't live here Or is that her book Yeah So she's had a book And then she's had A Netflix show About tidying up. Tidying up with Marie Kondo. Yeah.

It was that simple. They had more words, but they weren't sparking her joy, so she got rid of them. She posted on her Instagram. She's got an Instagram. Okay. I never thought to look her up. I know, but I just never thought to look her up on Instagram. What did she put on her Instagram?

Nice shelves? A picture of her sitting in front of Lake Tarawera. She said, what did she say? Over the holidays, I visited New Zealand and it was breathtaking. Have you been? Okay. Oh, God. Imagine when, oh, you never ask a question on your Instagram story.

Is that what she did on a post? On a post. Oh, okay, because then she could ignore the comments because if you do the stories, everyone answers and then you're going to be like trolling through because I'd imagine

Marie Kondo couldn't deal with having that little red number up in the top right-hand corner telling her how many unread messages she's got. Yeah. So she went to

the Western Bay of Plenty. She went into Mount Maunganui store and she had dinner with a local family. We're hearing about this now. Luke and Claire, they're owners of George Cafe in Omanu in Mount Maunganui. They hosted Marie Kondo and her family.

So they had... How did that come about? They met at the cafe through a Japanese friend who lived in New Zealand. And then they ended up going there for dinner. And he said they had a lovely dinner. She signed a copy of his book, which he bought eight years ago. And he said he found it very useful during a big clean out. And then they had dinner together.

He said he was very nervous and he had to make sure the house was in tip top shape when she came over. Oh my God. I wouldn't invite her to my house. Absolutely not. She'd just get in and look around and you'd be like, oh no, she hates it. It would be a joy to look my wife straight in the eye and say, Marie Kondo's coming over this afternoon.

Like, no previous announcement. But she hates when anyone comes in the house that hasn't been freshly vacuumed and cleaned. What about the other weekend when I popped over unannounced? You're very cheeky because you said, I said, I want to come over and look at Vaughan's new kitchen renovations. And he's like, yeah, come on over. We'll be home in like half an hour. And I come in and your wife looked at me when I walked in the door.

And she's like. Like she had not been given the heads up. Yeah, she said, oh, hello. And I was like, oh, Vaughan. Because she had that look like she hadn't cleaned up. You know what that does to. And I was like, oh, Vaughan. Because she had that look like she hadn't cleaned up. You know what that does to... And it was fine.

Like your house was fine. I know. I didn't think, oh, it's messy. Did she say sorry about the mess? She always says that and it insults me because the house isn't that messy.

It wasn't messy at all. No, but I get that. I'd say the same thing. But I don't care. It's just Vaughan. Yeah, it is. It'd be just Vaughan coming over. No, but yeah,

you say it's just Vaughan but then I still don't want you to be like, oh, you haven't vacuumed for a while. I wouldn't, I can't, unless I stood in dog shit in your house

and there was a lot of it. Yep. I wouldn't care. I wouldn't ever walk into someone's house and be like, this is my little pink stuff. If there's washing

or whatever on the couch, I just move it. That's the other thing, like my clothes, horse might be out with my undies or something and then like there might be stuff all over the bench.

It's so surprising to me that you'd wear undies though. Like it's not going to blow your mind. Oh my God. Did you see she wears undies? Yuck. She doesn't wash them. And she washes them. Yuck.

I don't wear undies, but if I do, they're filthy. And then I just chuck them on the floor. No, it always blows my mind. Someone's like, sorry about the mess. And you look around the house and you're like, oh, you call this a mess? Give me three quarters of an hour here if I'm looking for the batteries for something. Oh, mate, this place is a real mess. ACC have released the e-scooter claims for November 2019.

Still waiting on the December 2019 stats. Right. Christmas related, I'd imagine there'd be a few people maybe teaming up, say nine e-scooters and pulling a sleigh to replicate a Santa situation. It might be quieter because, you know, they got rid of the limes in December. It's not. Okay. Not if November's anything to go by.

Right. 219 new claims. And that's 27 more than the previous month. So that's pretty much one extra claim a day for the month of November compared to the month previous. There are 611 active claims, meaning that... Ongoing physio? Yeah, ongoing physio, or maybe people need time off work

and ACC's covering their wages or whatever. A huge range of things, meaning active claims, they're just ongoing, as well as the new ones, meaning since 2018 in October, so just over a year, $5.3 million in ACC claims. But what is car motoring? Oh, way more. It's kind of like rugby, like, car, motoring... Oh, way more. It's kind of like rugby and sports, is it?

Yeah. Everyone gets all upset, don't they? Yeah, but boomers love cars and rugby, so they don't want to talk about that. Yeah. What about cycling? Because that's, like, the closest thing, right? What? Cycling.

Cycling accidents. Yeah, like how much at ACC. I don't know what ACC... Sometimes they release, like, a big list of all the sports. If I ever hurt myself, sometimes I just say rugby. Because I'm sick of rugby getting a free walk. I want people to scoff at rugby because I've got a sore shoulder and I need to go see Karen for a couple of rub downs.

Cycling injuries cost ACC $68 million. It just says here, this is a news story dated July 19 last year. So that would, I'm imagining for the year? Yeah, right. 38,000 active claims? Because if you say that stat in isolation, it seems like a lot.

Exactly. When you compare it to other things. Exactly. And I know in Auckland City, they've limited the speed. So all the way from my home to work is anywhere between 13 and 15 k's. And it's like, lame. I would like to know if that has caused many accidents. Because the other day when we were fanging and we hit that slow zone,

I wasn't expecting it. And you said, whoop. Yeah. It throws you off balance a bit because you're going. And you said, whoop. Yeah. Yeah. Throws you off balance a bit because you're going and then all of a sudden the speed just It's not like a fade in. It was a fade in but it was just really weird. Yeah, right.

So I was wondering, yeah, I wonder if that's caused any mischiefs. But with 3,850 claims and 5.3, the average claim is costing $1,376. Huh. So that's what to aim for if you hurt yourself on the line. and 5.3. The average claim is costing $1,376. Huh. So, that's what to aim for if you hurt yourself on a lime. Be like,

be happy with at least average. Limes in Auckland. Oh, no, no. That's right. Your lime's gone. Other parts of the country. What have we got

in Auckland now? Neuron. Neuron. Uber. Oh, the Uber scooter's a shithouse. What's the one that you... They don't go up the hill.

Either that or I've put on weight over holidays. You rode a red one yesterday. What's that? That's Neuron. No, that was the Uber one yesterday. That's like fluoro pink. Yeah, there's Vibe. And there's Beam. Vibe. No. Nokia. No.

No? No. Okay. There's another one. You've got to have like four apps now in Auckland. Beam, Flamingo. Flamingo. That's what I had one of those this morning. Right. Yeah. And that's, yeah, it's great. That's good.

That was the best of the new ones. Saw my morning friend. He was out for his walk. He waved and said, good morning. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I asked him how his holiday. Yeah, you go past the same guy every day, right?

Yeah. I haven't seen him for like the week and a half. And I asked him how his holiday break was. He said he didn't get one. Oh. Oh, okay, bye. Do you know his name yet? No.

Next time when you're, like tomorrow, when you're scooting past, be like, hey, what's your name? Oh, that's too much. That's too much to ask. But we need to know. Don't people who didn't choose to take their holidays over the New Year love telling you? Love to tell you about it.

Yeah. Oh, God, I can't remember all the way through. All right, mate, you're entitled to four of them. Calm down. Here we go. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there.

September 11 announced yesterday as the date that the general election will happen. September... 19. 19. You said September 11. I was just saying September 11.

Thank God. Thank goodness, yeah. Could have been worse. Yeah. September 11. That's so easy to say September 11. Thank God. Thank goodness, yeah. Could have been worse. Yeah. September 19th. That's a sat D. You always have it on a sat D. But I don't care anymore about what day it is because I do that early voting.

They had that in the little mall right next to my house and I just did it like a week or two before. It was great. No lines. Is that vote one of the ones you have to wait for afterwards? It's like just counting all the special votes. Yeah, thanks for that.

And I think it wasn't the last election. Weren't special votes like 30 or 40% of the vote? Yeah, special voting, early votes and overseas votes played a massive part. Organised people.

You probably had to go to a primary school on election day. Yeah. I love getting out there. I think there was biscuits too. I was like, hey-o. You can't give biscuits It's bribery

No you're thinking Of blood donation Oh Wait Did they take some blood off you Did you cast a vote And also Be drained of blood

Did they give you A Tim Tam afterwards Tim Tam No It's like a hundred thousand biscuits Oh yum I like those Yeah

Invented by a New Zealander Did you read the story About the woman That invented those Yeah I did I did read that. It's an interesting yarn. And why is she not worth millions of dollars?

It wasn't even that long ago either. No, it wasn't. I think she got fooled into selling it for nothing. Top six reasons we can't have the election on September 19. Number six, it's Jimmy Fallon's 46th birthday. So we have to do a pre-organised celebrity impression

while singing a song that the guest totally wasn't set up for. Yeah. So we'll be too busy. Yeah. We'll be too busy for the election,

I'd say. Number five on the list of the top six reasons we can't have the election on September 19, it's the 425th anniversary of the first ever performance of Romeo and Juliet.

Wow. Really? Juliet. Wow. Really? Yeah. Apparently. That's pretty cool. Two years before he officially released the script. That's Billy Shakespeare. Two households, both alike in dignity.

I could go on for ages. I've never seen it. In Faberota, where we lay our soon. What? From ancient Grudge. Is it from the movie or from the script? It's from the script. Are you rocking from script?

Yeah. Is there a narrator? Yes. Who says that part? The narrator, I believe. The narrator. Yeah. Okay.

Never seen it. Yeah, neither. Or read it. Never. I'm familiar with the gist. And there was a movie, wasn't it? Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Daniel. Yeah, and then she became a CIA operative.

And then went off her meds and they locked her up. Different movie. That's Homeland. Is that the same actress? Claire Danes. Yeah. Yeah. Who was the woman?

Like, Homeland was like her resurgence from being like a late 90s. Who was the other late 90s blonde female? Reese Witherspoon? White that I thought was in that movie. Who else was? No, it wasn female Reese Witherspoon? White that I thought was in that movie. Who else was? No, it wasn't Reese Witherspoon.

I don't know. Claire Danes. Who knows what's happening in your brain? Claire, I'm just going to, I'm just googling this

so I can look at it after I finish the top six. Okay. Claire Danes, doppelganger. White female movie stars from late 90s,

early 2000s. Okay. Okay, do that later. A little bit Naomi Watts, but it's not Naomi Watts that I'm thinking of. Is it the chick from 10 Things I Had About You? With Heath Ledger? Who was in like all the Bourne movies? That chick?

Yeah. Yes, who's that? What's she doing now? Maybe it was. Maybe that's who I thought was in Romeo and Juliet. Anyway, in your own time, mate. Yeah. Julia Stiles.

Yes! That's who I thought was in it. But now you've said Claire Danes. It all makes sense. But off the top of my head, I thought her. Number four on the list of the top six reasons we can't have the election on September 19. It's a new moon, so it'll be dark and our political crystals won't be fully charged.

And we might end up making a poor decision. But thankfully there won't be any werewolves. Oh, that's good. Because it's not a full moon, it's a new moon. Will Mercury be in retrograde? Continually. Is that positive or negative? Why? I don't like it.

I have very little motivation when Mercury's in retrograde. How often is Mercury in retrograde? Oh, all the time. All the time. I just need to open another tab. How often is Mercury in retrograde? It is, Megan, it is. It completes its orbit around the sun in 88 days.

The Swift planet becomes retrograde three or four times in a calendar year. See? For about three weeks at a time. I told you, it's half the year. Good Lord. That's why I can't be bothered going to the gym half of the year. Tight schedule. Every excuse the other half.

Oh, yeah, totally get that. Just lazy. The top six reasons that we can't have an election on September 19th. Speaking of absolute pure nonsense, like Mercury and retrograde crystals and werewolves, Virgo's time is about to end on September 19th. It's getting towards the end of the Virgo. Right. And according to GaneshaSpeaks.com,

old school Virgo individuals are a bit conservative and old fashioned. They're not really into modern changes or prefer things in their old traditional ways. Right, okay. That's not good for a progressive government, is it? No. Anyway.

Number two on the list of the top six reasons we can't have the election on September 19. September is Happy Cat Month. So we'll all be too busy trying to please those unpleasable bastards to take an hour or two out of our time to waddle down to the local primary school and cast a vote. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six reasons we can't have the election on September 19th, it's international talk like a pirate, Dick.

Is it? Yes. Oh, my God, that's brilliant. We be here to cast my vote for the fave and mongrels that don't even take to the high seas. The government. That is... I hope when they, like,

you know how they have a press conference and whoever loses they've lost? They better do it in a pirate accent. Yeah, yeah. It was a well fought fight,

but we shan't be forming the next government. Well, another episode last night of the Bachelorette New Zealand. Oh yeah, and aren't we hooked, Fletch? Fletch is so invested in this. It is great.

Well, I watched the first episode because we had interviews, didn't we, with the Bachelorette and Art and I was like, well, I've got to watch this to know what we're talking about. And then I was like,

oh my God, I have to keep watching this. We've actually just been gossing about our least favourite bachelors this morning, eh? Yeah. Now, Executive Intern Anya, you are branching out with your best friend that you met on a plane only months ago and you're already besties. Yep. And we've done a very millennial thing. And you've got a podcast.

Yep. And you review and talk about The Bachelorette. Yes. We rank The Bachelors. We have them in for chat. Where's Glenn? Glenn's got some work on. Glenn's got a couple of places ahead of him that he needs to pop up to.

And I believe you're interviewing The Mole for the next episode. So that'll be out tonight. We're chatting to the mole today. I'm super excited. Okay. I can't help but notice I didn't get invited to do this podcast.

It was our thing to watch The Bachelors together. I know, but Megan, if you were on the plane to Melbourne, you know, you would have been there

at the birth of it. Right between the lines, Pappas, you're a bitch who's very hard to work with. If it wasn't my saintly soul, I wouldn't be

putting up with this. I might even get a guest spot on this podcast. Who alluded to that? He's watching it. I'm watching a show that's not,

you know, a normal show on Netflix. Flesh just walked down to the producer's booth before and was like, who are we talking about?

Which one? Yeah, oh, I know. I'm so hooked. Do you need someone to come on your podcast and talk about World War II in colour?

Because I am loving it. Battle in Midway, baby. Battle in Midway. How do people find this podcast if they're also hooked into The Bachelorette? It's on iHeartRadio, all the other streaming sites. Just hit subscribe and it'll be in there, baby. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. Megan, you've just been looking for a new chef for your cafe. I have. Did you find one? I have. Lock them in if they signed a contract because the Queen is looking for a new chef. A travelling chef. Okay.

How much travelling is the Queen doing these days? She still gets around. She probably has to do a whole lot more now that Harry and Megan have thought it quits do you think when they say travelling anywhere where she's away from her like even if she just

goes to another like residence yeah she's like oh I might go to the other mansion today yeah palace

maybe palace yeah castle one of them so they have Buckingham Palace advertised

they're looking for an experienced and qualified chef with a background in premier catering to become the household's new sous chef. Ooh. Okay. So candidates must be trained in classical French cuisine

with a knowledge of the food industry. How much is how much? It doesn't have a price, no. Right. You'd imagine that'd be pretty good though, eh? Yeah. Huh. Doesn't she that'd be pretty good though, eh? Yeah. Huh. Doesn't she eat the same thing every day?

And then she has a G&T at lunch with whatever she's having. No, she has heaps of drinks every day. Right. G&T is so eh? She has a G&T. At lunchtime. I'm just going to go with Queen's drinking. I wonder what her mixer is.

Tonic. You can get Those new fancy tonic Like East Imperial's Real nice But do you reckon She just goes for a swips Just a couple of

One one Pams Pams mixers They're like 89 cents A bottle I saw But you've got to have A good mixer Yeah

With tonic Yeah With your gin rather With your gin Yeah So she has four Four cocktails a day. She has mid-morning a glass of gin and doubanais.

Mid-morning? Doubanais on the rocks with a slice of lemon. She has a glass of wine at lunch and then a dry martini and a glass of champagne before bed. Do you know she eats Special K for breakfast? No, she doesn't. And a boiled egg and some tea. So you're telling me this chef... got a poor special can of bowl.

I can do that. Easy. Imagine first day on the job, you go in, she's like, where's one special can? And you're like, here's the bowl. And then you look her in the eye and you pour the milk in first. And then the special can. You're a monster.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The Grammy Awards were on Monday. Lots always come out of the Grammy Awards. Lots of amazing performances. Jimmy Lovato's comeback. Yeah, one of my favourite things, I think, from the Grammy Awards has to do with a tweet. Tyler, the creator, you may know of him,

he won Best Rap Album. Yeah. Now, something has come to light because he retweeted this. He received a tweet nine years ago. Wow. Nine years ago. Do you have the tweet there, Vaughn? I do.

Because I deleted Twitter. It's a cesspit. Yeah, me too. I'm just watching this clock up the likes too. It's still just going. This tweet is brilliant. So nine years ago, he liked and saved this tweet.

Mark Anthony, Illy Pino, he tweeted, Tyler, the creator, whose Twitter name I can't read because it's got a swivel in it. Don't be too excited. You won't get one.

Now that's regarding his Grammy. Nine years ago, that's regarding his Grammy. Nine years ago, he'd mentioned a Grammy. And nine years ago, Mark Anthony said, don't get too excited. You won't get one. Now, this is just an everyday person, Mark. And not the singer Mark.

Remember the singer Mark Anthony? Do I what? He was married to J-Lo. Yeah. So this is just an everyday person. Nine years ago said, don't get too excited. You're not going to win one. So after Tyler, the creator, wins a Grammy,

he retweets this because he had saved this tweet from nine years ago and remembered those words. Like, why would you even care what someone said like nine years ago? Because it was obviously something that deep down he knew he really wanted. That was his dream. And can someone directly message you and be like, you won't get one. He said, I favorited this nine years ago just for this moment to tell you I got one. Yes, I'm petty as F. Good day, Mark.

And that has been liked and retweeted so many times. And I'm currently sitting on 942,000 likes, 176,000 retweets. Wow. And 3,000 replies. I love that. That's like some Vaughan Smith level of grudge. Because you love holding a grudge. Oh, I do.

We all do in this show. Let's be honest. Do you remember last week, Anya was like, do we want to talk to this person about the Royals? I'm like, no, they upset me once. I was like, absolutely not. No, that's not happening. Yeah.

And you'll never ever talk to them again because you hold a grudge. And I appreciate if people have got a grudge against me that they hold it. Yeah, right. I don't want someone folding on their grudge. Hold that grudge. But to me, it's that someone could say something,

someone that, like, doesn't mean anything to you and doesn't matter. Yeah. That you hold on to those words and nine years ago, they're still meaning something to you and they're still affecting you. You know what I mean? Yeah. More often than not, it's going to be negative, right? For some reason, in human nature, we remember the negative comments.

And that's what I wanted to talk about today. Like, has someone said something to you that you still remember to this day? What has someone said? I'm not talking about really positive things, because it is. It's the negative things. Or the doubt that you could do something. You'll never do that. And if someone said that to me, I'm going to be like, well, I'm going to do that.

I mean, unless it's flying to the moon. That's a bit stupid, isn't it? Don't never say never. Megan, I'm never going to the moon. Not with that attitude, you're not. I don't know. Elon might give you a call. Oh, my God.

Can Elon give me a call? I'd go to the moon if he asked me to. You love Elon Musk, don't you? I do. I do. I don't know, do you guys have anything like that? Like, what has someone said to you ages ago that you still remember to this day? They ring in your head. I worked at a cafe.

God, what's changed? And I was in the kitchen and I remember the chef, you know how chefs can be like quite angry people a lot of the time. Yeah. And like she, I can't remember what I'd done

and I don't think I deserved it. Maybe I did, but I remember her getting right up in my face and being like, you are never going to get anywhere because you have an attitude problem. And I was like, oh no, I don't.

I don't think I do. I think I actually said that to her, but that's just always stuck with me. She's not wrong. Do I have an attitude problem? Well, it depends. It depends what side you're on. I pride myself on my attitude.

What about you, Vaughn? Anything that like rings? I've got a long list. You should have told me we were going to do this. I've got to put it in my book from home. I mean, it's been written in front of you all morning. Not before I got here. Executive intern Anya.

Yeah. You've got something that was said to you a long time ago that you still remember to this day. Oh, so vividly. This was from my grandma saying it. She said, you've grown and I don't mean upwards. Wow. And I was 12

at the time. You're kidding. They were a savage generation, eh? They still are. You're like, oh, that's a bit savage, Nan. She's like, you aren't savage. World War II was savage. Okay, we don't compare everything To a bloody

Worldwide atrocity And they had it In colour too Well I do now too Well no they had it In black and white Oh no because They were living it

They were living it Yeah Alright so I want to take Some calls this morning 0800 dials at M Text in 9696 What about you Fletch

Do you have one No not that I can Of the top of my head You two are just Oh no not Vaughan Just water off a duck's back. No, but I've had it so much. I think teachers saw that as their motivation to me.

Carry on like this. You'll amount to nothing. I think a few teachers told me I had an attitude problem too. Seem to remember. Well, if you meet a teacher in the morning that says you've got an attitude problem, they've got a problem. But if you're meeting teachers all day saying you've got attitude problems, you're the problem.

Yeah, you are the problem. Yeah. But then also, it was the 90s, and you were a female not afraid to speak your mind. That was, at the time, known as an attitude problem. All right, so 0800Diles.com, give us a call, 9696. What's the one comment you can always remember someone saying to you? Talk about Tyler, the creator's tweet.

He favorited this tweet nine years ago. Nine years ago, someone said, don't get too excited. You won't get one regarding a Grammy. He got one nine years later. He said, I favorited this nine years ago just for the moment to tell you I got one. Yes, I'm petty. Good day, Mark. And that's just some nobody Mark who's just mouthing off on Twitter

And it's crazy the comments that people are messaging in That they remember from a long time ago A lot of them from loved ones That's sad to me That's sad Yeah But then that hurts Because they're supposed to love you

They're not supposed to be mean to you That's probably why it sticks with you more Like somebody said It hurts because they're supposed to love you, not supposed to be mean to you. Yeah, and I think that's probably why it sticks with you more, right? Like somebody said that their grandmas seem to be a pretty savage bunch. My grandma told me that no one would ever love me when I was 13. Good Lord. That's crazy. Okay, Nana, and this is the last time I'll visit you.

Yeah, and then they're like, why don't you visit anymore? My dad told me to just stick to being a farmer because you're not smart enough to be an electrician. Oh, wow. My cousin's a house surgeon. I said to Mum once, that's cool. She's only my age. Mum looked at me and said, yeah, well, you could have been someone too.

Ouch. Rebecca, what did someone say to you a long time ago that you still remember? It was my nana. Yep. And we must be going back at least 12 years. Okay. I cut my hair short for summer. Yep.

Like, it wasn't like a cheap cut either. It was a really nice haircut, done the sale on everything else. Yep. And I went around to visit, and she opened up the front door, and she said, oh, dear God, what have you done to your hair? And I said, I cut it for summer. She said, oh, does this mean you're a lesbian now? Oh, my God, what have you done to your hair? And I said, I cut it for summer. She said, oh, does this mean you're a lesbian now?

Oh my God, man. Wow. Short hair constitutes lesbian. Oh, apparently back in those days to her. Wow. Yeah, and you still remember that to this day? Well, I do, but then there was Grandad, when I was a horse rider when I was a kid,

I was quite large, and I will never forget this. He said to me, how does the horse handle the weight? Oh, jeez. Were they married, that Nana and Grandad, or are they different? Oh, no, they're different. Nana's mum's mum and Grandad's... Jeez, so you had savage emotions. Yeah, it is. Hey, Rebecca, thanks for your call.

Nicole, what do you remember someone saying to you a long time ago? So this was a teacher at my school. It was like a free study period, and I was just doing like some creative writing in my own time. Yeah. And he caught me doing it. He read it to himself after class and made all like these comments, being like, oh, that would never happen,

and just like things that kind of tore me down. Then at the end, he said, I'm never going to amount to anything if I keep this up. Two years later, I became the academic captain of my house. Yeah. And at the end of your speech, I said, well, I got pretty far for someone that told me I was never going to amount to anything.

Thanks, mister. And called him out. Oh, yes. That's great. That's like a scene of a movie. Don't get into the profession of teaching if you want to tear kids down. Do you think that they say it sometimes to give you the little motivational? That doesn't motivate everybody.

It motivates some people and less and less. Georgia, what do you remember someone saying to you a while ago? Hey, so I'm like one of five. I have three older sisters. And we all remember our mum saying to us, hold your stomach in, you need to keep your stomach muscles tight. Weird. Right, this is when I'm like at Intermedia

and I remember talking on the phone to my friend and I was like kind of like splouched down and my stomach was out and I remember her looking at me and she goes, Georgia, hold your stomach muscles in. Good lord. I mean she's got a good core. But for posture or what? To suck in the little pop pops?

Yeah, yeah. Wow, Georgia, alright, thanks. My nana must have been, my nana always said, oh god, you're fading away when I wasn't. I mean, yeah, I am. thanks you. My nana must have been, my nana always said, oh, God, you're fading away, when I wasn't. I'd be, yeah, I am fading away, you know. You need some more cakes, you know. I think someone needs a bicky and a slice for each hand. I think so, you know.

Nom, nom, thanks, you know. You know, I already ate them. Can I have another one before I go? Oh, yeah, you can have one for the road. Thanks, you know. It's like you said, you, and I'm fading away. I'm such a skinny boy. I'm not going to go off.

I don't eat all my sweets. Somebody messaged in saying their first day working at Pumpkin Patch, someone asked for a $50 gift card. I wrote 50, and she said, that's not a very good five. I can always remember it. It nearly made me cry. Okay, I kind of am. I would never say anything,

but you know when the staff write the value amount on a gift card? I know, I'm like, write it nicely, please. Yes, when they have terrible handwriting, I'm always like. And then they're like, do you want me to write who it's to? I'm like, no, I'll write it. How good is it though when you get the staff member with the really nice handwriting and you give them a compliment? Like if it was one of us, people would be hoping it wasn't you handwriting anything.

For one. You got a $50. Because you were too busy eating the cakes when the handwriting was gone. I can't hold a pen because my hands are greasy because I've ordered treats. Now you've got me. I want to leave a house.

My form teacher said I'd die homeless under a bridge. I'm a homeowner now, so at least I'll die on my own. Someone said the teacher told me there wasn't a job in the world that would pay me for staring out a window like I do at school. Joke's on them. I'm a truck driver. I literally stare out a window all day long. Is it just teachers and nannas?

I was dancing for Nana when I was five. And in her broad, less shy accent, she said, oh, you're like a little hairy elephant. Stuck with me ever since. We were trick-or-treating. I was three years old. It's one of my earliest memories. And they opened the door, said trick-or-treat,

and a man pointed at me and said, she doesn't really need any. To a three year old! And they remember that. Yeah. That must be one of their earliest memories. My grandma told me I'd be in jail if I carried on the way I was.

I haven't been to jail yet so fingers crossed. Fingers crossed. Our Bible and schools teacher lined us up from least likely to most likely to get into heaven. That's insane. We should do that with us. Who beat the front?

Me. Is the front getting in or not getting in? Front's getting in. Front's getting in. Me. You're not getting in. not getting in? Front's getting in. Front's getting in. Me. You're not getting in. I am, I am. You are not.

No, I was raised Catholic. There's a loophole. Literally, all I have to say before I die is like, sorry, and then I'm in. Oh, really? That's the Catholic loophole. Hold those beads. What do you do with those beads?

Oh, you don't want to know what you do with those beads, girlfriend. You just hold them and you hold them in your hand and you go around saying Hail Mary and then Our Father at the every fifth big bead. You feel the big beads. Right. Oh, that's all sorted.

Do you? Yeah. And then you get to the cross and you're done. It's called the rosary. See, I'm in. Yeah, you can do that if you want. But that's why you're going to hell. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Just a little bit of an update on the coronavirus Not yet to cause widespread panic I don't want everybody to panic It's not panic time yet I mean like everyone's talking about it And then masks are like going crazy And selling out It's weird to read stories that

You know authorities Yesterday in New Zealand they passed a law that I guess they needed the power to do this, that it's a communicable disease so they can start isolating people and they can force people into isolation. Right. I didn't realise that they couldn't do that already

unless it was a communicable disease. The worry about it being across the board is if someone, because I wondered about that too, but then the worry about having that in place full time is if someone comes in and they've got a super conservative view and they believe something like HIV, they could just put everyone who's got HIV somewhere.

Into a camp or something. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Discrimination becomes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's quite easier. Like a crazy leader or something. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Discrimination becomes Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's quite easier.

Like a crazy leader or something. Yeah. Yeah, right. So I wanted that too but it kind of makes sense. Yeah. So that means

that yeah, if this does get a bit out of control they're going to have to start isolating people. They're talking about the possibility of shutting borders

if it goes crazy. But you know, I was wondering at the same time as everyone's going crazy about the coronavirus, the flu has killed, in the United States in the flu season, 8,200 people died of the flu. Yeah. And 54 of them were children.

So I think while it's something to be concerned about, sure, and precautions must be taken, it's also a hot topic at the moment and media outlets will print it and send out lots of alerts about it because it gets click due to panic. But we have the flu jab, don't we? True, avoidable.

That can help old people and those with bad immune systems, whereas there is no cure for this. Not yet. Not yet for the coronavirus. The Russians? The Russians working on it? I think everyone. I think the scientific,

yeah, scientific community is openly sharing, which is quite, you know, unusual for them. Right. They like to do everything in secret and be the one to. Yeah.

Germany and Japan have confirmed that have had cases of people with coronavirus who had not travelled to China, but had caught the virus from someone who had. Right. Okay. That had only been in Vietnam prior to that, and they thought that might have just been a land border crossing between there and China. Now, the question a lot of people have, read the masks, is masks that you put over your

face are selling out in a lot of pharmacies and supermarkets and stuff. Yes. But do they work? A very good question. Now, in Ternania, there was a news story yesterday which quoted somebody from... Did you get this person on the phone for an interview? I've got good news and bad news. Well, have you got the story then?

Who is this? This is Dr. Simon Swift. Right. He was quoted yesterday as saying some of these masks are a waste of time. Yeah. He's got current research on the rapid detection of microbes, biocides and antimicrobial

surfaces. Do you have the quote on the masks? No. Christ alive. I had the stats. I had the stats on the flu. I think I bought more than my fair share of this, right? I had flu stats.

I had the stats about people catching it, but not directly who have been to China, but from a third party. Weren't you the one who put the story on the group chat? No, I've got it. Yeah, I've got it.

Okay, well, I've come to put the responsibility on you to bring that to the show. University of Auckland pathology associate professor said cheap store-brought face masks

were unlikely to provide much protection because they didn't seal around the face and were often reused. So the big mask I use around the home for... For your meth production.

Yeah, for meth making. That would be better. I'd say so, yeah, like a spray mask maybe, because it seals. He said, I'm sure they provide more protection than breathing in the air, but it would be a naive assumption to think, it's all right, I've got my $5 face mask on, I'm protected. $5? That's a bougie face mask on. I'm protected. $5? That's a bougie face mask. Are you not supposed to reuse those?

Well, he says the virus could still get on other places like skin when removing the mask. So people would touch the outside where the virus could be sitting and then you might itch your nose, pick your nose. He said, I personally haven't rushed out to buy one. We should get this guy on. So we tried. The good news is that he did reply.

What did your email say to him? You read us what you said to Simon. Hi Simon, I want to flitch Vonna Megan's producers from ZM. I wondered if you might be free to have a chat on air tomorrow. I've just been reading your interview with The Herald on their coronavirus masks and I think it'd be a really interesting chat for our listeners. Oh my just been reading your interview with The Herald on the coronavirus masks, and I think it'd be a really interesting chat for our listeners. Oh my God, that's such a great email.

We're eloquently put. No wonder you are now the executive intern. Thank you so much. I said, let me know if you're interested. Thanks. Approachable. Friendly. The bad news is he has declined.

The good news is it's the sassiest email I've yet received in 2020. What did he say? He said, hi, Anna. Sorry, I've got a couple of other commitments in the morning and not overly interested. Sorry, I can't be more help. Regards, Simon. Not overly interested.

And I just wanted you to be like, you know what? Fair enough. We're all dying of the coronavirus, Simon. I know. He's like, I've got a couple of other things on in the morning and then you can see he'd pause and he would have been like, I'll just ask if I can do it like the next day.

Not interested. No, but I love that he's not left any doubt there. We know where he stands. I really appreciate that email. Swift in name and swift in denial. We can learn something from Simon. Just say no. If you don't want to do something.

I love that. It's a compliment sandwich. Sorry, I can't. I don't actually want to. I'm not interested. Sorry, I can't be more help. Sorry, I don't want to be more help. Wow.

Okay, well, there you go. Does he know I'm, because I'm looking, I've just found a photo of him. He's a bald brother with a beard. Does he know I'm, because I'm looking, I've just found a photo of him. He's a bald brother with a beard. Does he know that I am as well? I should have said that in my opening, you're right. Yeah.

Hi, Simon. I work for Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. One of them's bald with a beard too, like you. Close brackets. He's immediately on board. If there's any one of the audience you connect with, it's bald people and lesbians. You've always said that, haven't you? I'm the pillar of both communities.

Starts Monday, the $100,000 secret sound. All thanks to Save My Bacon, a brighter way to borrow. We've given away big amounts before, like the $50,000 secret sound. We've had a 40, a 30, a 10, a couple of lower ones. But $100,000 secret sound. We've had a 40, a 30, a 10, a couple of lower ones, but $100,000. If the jackpot reaches 100,000 or even more than 50, we've never given away that kind of cash before.

Imagine just getting that much cash in one go, just given to you. You would need, like, I'd need some help, I think, because I'd be really tempted to start. Mum! Man! What do I do? Like, I mean, if you didn't touch it, that's a house deposit.

Yeah. Like, that is getting you a house. That's crazy. I mean, you've still got to pay the rest of the house. Yeah, yeah. You've got to keep paying for it. You've got to be an adult and keep paying for the house and all the interest and stuff.

But it's a life-changing amount of money. Like, that's moving to another country. If you wanted to, do your OE. I like to think I would do something sensible, like buy a house. Student loan? A lot of people would be able to pay off their student loan straight away. You say that, Megan, but I bet the next time we saw you, you'd be like, I bought that jet ski.

Behind the scenes, she won't stop going on about jet skis. Like, she's some 17-year-old bro dude. And then I'd put $9,900 and something like that. Or you could buy seven jet skis. I could probably buy more than seven with $100,000. You'd start a jet ski business. You'd hire a jet ski. Yeah, that's an investment.

How much are jet skis? Depends. They start at like $10,000. Oh, so you could buy 10 cheap ones. Cheap. Cheap ones. $10,000. Is that all you'd get?

10 jet skis? Wow, okay. Is that all you'd get, 10 jet skis? Wow, okay. But that's like a company though. I mean, that's nine more than you need. I could start my jet ski company. Some could argue that's 10 more than Megan needs. Do you know how much they are to hire for half an hour? That's a great business I could start.

I just couldn't imagine you in a wetsuit hiring out jet skis. That'd just be weird. You love that image, don't you? Yes. I could start. I just couldn't imagine you in a wetsuit hiring out jet skiers. That'd just be weird. You love that image, don't you? Yes. Out in thigh deep would have been like, and then you just go like, that'll go forward. Now, remember, you've got to accelerate two turn on the jet ski. And if you fall off, this little thing goes, and it'll stop.

You swim over, you jump back on. I think that's all. Don't go too far. And we'll see you back in half an hour. Well, we all need a backup plan. And this person's like, Megan's like, another happy customer. I'm so glad I won that $100,000 secret sound on ZM. And started

the jet ski business. So it is, it's a lot of money and, you know, if you win this, it is going to be life changing and we have done some calculations of some things you can blow $100,000 on. So I just Googled. Oh, my calculator went sideways to the scientific calculator. Oh, shit.

Now you've got to work out a triangle. I love when that happens. So I just went on Uber Eats and looked at the price of a Big Mac, $7.80. Is that Uber Eats adding some – is that how much a Big Mac is? Because I just never notice. Because it's always in a combo where I just go... I don't think I've ever just ordered a Big Mac. I divided $100,000 by

a Big Mac. You will get $12,820 and a half Big Macs. You're going to have to chop one in half. I hope they round that up just because you're buying $100,000 or $12,000. Oh, and chuck in a couple of free drinks. You up just because you're buying a hundred or twelve thousand. Oh, and chuck in a couple of free drinks.

You'd be very thirsty if you ate the wee wee meeks. That's a lot. That's an insane amount. You can buy 40,000 avocados if you wanted to. Well, that depends on the price. You're probably only getting six.

At the moment, nah. At the moment, you would. Dollar. Found some dollar avocados. Where? They were about to be a dollar. Oh, well, I don't want to tell you now. We need to have a show thing where if you see them for a dollar,

you buy every one, Abos, and we'll pay you back if you need. I'll give you $3. Get me three. No. Because you can't buy too many because then they all ripen at the same time. Yeah, yeah. No, I don't want to do that. Why?

Because then I've lost my bragging rights about a dollar avocado. You can buy five BMW Series 5s. Five of them. But again, it's like you don't need 10 jet skates. No, you don't. Just buy one nice one. One nice one, yeah. You could buy six carats of diamonds.

Trouble is, though, I'd buy a nice car like that and then the insurance would come in. And I'd be like, but I've spent all my money. Keep a little bit aside. Yeah. That's sensible. If you wanted to go to Gold Class. The movies.

A Bougie movie going experience, 2,500 times you could go to Gold Class. Okay. It is a luxury tour of Iceland for five people, you and four mates. How long is this luxury tour of Iceland? I don't know. So I don't want to take five people, you and four mates? How long is this luxury tour of Iceland? I don't know. So I don't want to take five people. Just knock the numbers down a little bit and go for longer. Yeah, right.

You could get a private jet to LA. I mean, all your money's gone. Is that how much it costs to get a private jet? To LA? Every time someone flies in a private jet. 100k. Unless they own a private jet? To LA. Every time someone flies in a private jet. 100K. Yep. Unless they own the private jet.

But even then, you have to buy the private jet, so there's millions out there. And you have to buy a carbon offset. Offset your carbon emissions. Well, you just say you do, don't you? Yeah. Don't tell me everybody that's in a private jet is actually buying a carbon offset. You could have a 50-day stay in the Maldives. You did the Maldives through your honeymoon, didn't you?

Yeah, five days. Not 50. Okay, days. Not fifty. Okay, yep. Good lord. You could get a champion racehorse. That could be a good investment. See how much racehorses are. Or some of them are more. Some of them are more. You could do a five

star South African safari for four people. Okay, that'd be cool. Yeah. That must be a long one though. It must be a long safari. Yeah. 66 iPhone Xs. Again, you don't really need all of them. 66. Yeah. You could stay for two nights in the Royal

Bridge Suite at the Atlantis. That's in the Palm at Dubai. Oh, yeah. With the water park. Yeah, right. Two nights. Just two nights. $50,000 a night. And the Burjee one. I remember when we went there and we were at the water park, they said about how that one at the top was super expensive. Yeah, because it's the bridge

between the two hotel wings. Yeah. And it's mega expensive. You could go to the zoo 2,700 times. You could buy a yacht. Or rather just actually buy a zoo animal. You could make a... No! You can't care for it properly. You could make a... No. You can't care for it properly.

You could make a sensible investment. Into a monkey. No, this was separate. I was saying you're done talking about buying animals. Oh, you were. And then I was saying the next one would be a sensible investment. Yeah, but what's a sensible investment? If they were all easy and sensible, then...

Emus, Megan. And boy, have I got a sales pitch for you. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. I know for a while if I'm in a noisy room, like I can't hear when people are talking, but that's probably just because of how noisy the room is. Or if this is why I stopped going to the club. Yeah.

It's too noisy. Yeah. Also, you hate going out and being around people. Yeah, yeah, that It's too noisy. Yeah. Also, you hate going out and being around people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true too. They're very sweaty. And with coronavirus,

fair enough. Just saying. You're not going to catch that sitting at home in the club. Yep. All of it in the face. So,

I know sometimes people talk and I just have to take a shot. I'll say pardon or beg a pardon. What's that? A couple of times and then I'll just have a guess at what they were saying. Or I do if I can't hear what someone's saying louder. I'll be like, yeah, yeah.

It doesn't always work. It's not always a yeah answer. Like what if they're talking to you about something serious? What's a good guess? Otherwise it's just, oh, yeah. So yesterday I went to pick up the dog from Doggy Daycare. Yeah. Because fam, we're out for the day.

So the dog got taken to Doggy Daycare where he has fun with other dogs. Yeah. And runs around all crazy like. Now, I went in to get Ralph and I went in to pay for the day of him being there. And the lady on the desk said he's had a good day. I love getting the report. He's had a great, he's had a good day. I love getting the report. He's had a great, he's had a good day. That's how it started.

And I said, you know, it's been all right, thanks. Because I thought she said, you had a good day. Yeah, right. Have you had a good day? Yeah. And I said, you know, it's been all right, thanks. And then I looked and my daughters are looking at me like, what? What are you on about? It's been all right, thanks. And then I looked and my daughters were looking at me like, what? Jocelyn.

What you on about? And that's when I say, oh, what did you just say? Did you say he's had a good day or have I had a good day? And she said, I said he's had a good day, but at the same time, I'm interested as to whether or not you've had a good day. So good cover from her. She doesn't care. She doesn't care.

She's got dogs to get back to the riders. Yeah. So I said, oh, that's good to hear. Yeah. And then, care. She doesn't care. She's got dogs to get back to the riders. Yeah. So I said, oh, that's good to hear. Yeah. And then, which I didn't obviously.

And then I hear about his day running around, swimming, getting in mud. Playing us a little doggy. Et cetera. And I'm like, but in the back of my head

it's a little bit like, well, that was embarrassing. Yeah. So I've misheard. Anyway, I am leaving and I say,

have a good day. Yeah. Quite loudly. Yeah. So there's no confusion. If she's thinking, say, have a good day. Yep. Quite loudly. Yep. So there's no confusion. If she's thinking, have you had a good day as I leave. So then I get out there and somebody else brings Ralph out and she says, have you had a good day?

Yep. To which I say, yeah, she said so in there. Again, my children look at me like, you've got this all wrong. And I say to her, the other lady that's caught Ralph out, I say, wait a minute. Did you just say he's had a good day or have I had a good day? She said, I was asking if you have had a good day, but yes, he's had a good day too. Right. And I said, I have also had a good day, but yes, he's had a good day too. And I said, I have also

had a good day. Apart from these last few minutes, which have been very confronting about my poor quality of hearing if I'm not concentrating. What will our anniversary be this year of working together?

16 years. We have been working together for 16 years nearly with years. We have been working together for 16 years nearly with loud headphones. Yours are extreme. Yours are like speakers. Mine are really bad. Very loud. That's true of most people on radio, to be honest.

If you plug in your headphones to the last person wearing them into the jack, it always comes out booming. It's a doomed generation. And that's the problem they're saying now that yeah, with the fact that we're all wearing headphones especially the ones that suck into your ear. You know the new ear pods and the ones with suction

on them. There's nowhere for the sound to escape. We're all going to be deaf AF. To be fair, I sit where Bree sits from the afternoon. She has this cranking. She's obviously losing her hearing too. So I always have to turn it down. Yeah.

And it only gets worse, eh? But then last time I had my hearing tested, it was okay. But that was because it was completely silent and all I had to listen for was the beep.

Yeah, right. But if there was any, like, background hum, I reckon I would, I don't know if I'd be able to hear the beep. So if you were doing the hearing test into club

no chance. No club chance. Remember they had like free hearing tests for us and we were like Fletch maybe you should go do that. I didn't hear it.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast ZM. Okay this thing is so tightly organised there's no room for error. I want to distance myself from this. Distance yourself. I'm distanced. I want to distance myself from this. Distance yourself.

I don't even know what we're getting ourselves into. When this wins an award, your name won't be on it. Nah, because I'm here. I'll help make it fun. Right, okay, so Vaughn has come up with a new segment idea. Yeah. It is cool. Although I actually made an intro.

Okay. So you play the intro and then I'll further explain it. Okay. Hey, you on the phone, I bet made an intro. Okay. So you play the intro and then I'll further explain it. Okay. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name. They left the laugh in. Yeah. Right, great. It's called I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name.

I don't think you need to explain anything. Hey, you on the phone. I bet I can guess your mum's name. Wow. So it's weird. Everybody's mum's got a name. Yeah. Yeah, they do.

So, yeah, you just need a mum to play. Okay. How are you going to guess their mum's name? So what I do is I ask five probing questions. Okay. About your mum or your family. Oh. about your mum or your family. And then I have 15 seconds to guess your mum's name. Okay, so what if you guess their mum's name?

What happens then? They get $100. I know, isn't that weird? Because usually they would get $100 if they could keep it a secret, but not in this competition. They get $100 if I guess their mum's name. And, you know, this is really leaving room for franchises. Yeah, like, I'd better guess your dad's name, your brother's name.

Yeah, exactly. Your great aunt's name. What? I was going to say, is there any parameters as to what kind of questions you're allowed to ask? Any questions. You're allowed to ask, like, what mum's siblings' names are. Oh, I could try.

Yes, I can ask that. Oh, that'd be a good giveaway because then you'd get, like, if they were all given, like, really straight-laced names. Yeah, yeah. That would count out some... Yeah, right.

Okay. You get a vibe for the... Yeah, get a vibe for the whole situation. And obviously, the person that rings up isn't allowed to say their mum's name. Otherwise, they'll be disqualified. Absolutely not.

No, they will be disqualified. Okay. This thing is quite straightforward. I can't think of any more questions I have. Do you expect this to be a runaway? I don't know about you guys. I always find it really interesting to learn what people's mum's names

were. Why? I don't know. So then you can refer to them at a later date by name. Right. You could say like, how's Bev? That's your thing. You love that. I know. Because you read parents' names real quick and then you pull it out

and they're really impressed. Yeah. Yeah. You're such a sucker. I'm a bit of a charmer when it comes to people's folks. Okay, so we need a caller. We just need a caller, yeah. With a mum.

With a mum. Oh, 800,000. You have to know her name. I don't know if this segment's going to make it come back next week. It will count. Let me put this proviso now. Because you know, like, sometimes mums have their name on their birth certificate, but they go by the middle name?

No, it's got to be their first name. It's got to be their first name. It's either of them. Yeah. It's either their identifying to be their first name. It's got to be their first name. It's either of them. Yeah. It's either their identifying name or their birth name. I'll 800 dials at him right now if you would like to play Hey You on the Phone. Is that what you're calling it? No, no, it's just called Better Can Guess Your Mum's Name.

But I just put extra syllables on front so I fit it into the Cheers theme tune better. Hey you on the phone, I better can guess your mum's name. theme tune, Peter. It's a new segment where if I can guess your mum's name after five questions and then 15 seconds

of guessing, you win $100. Someone messaged in saying, won't everyone just say, yes, that is my mum's name so they can win $100? No, because intern Anya, executive intern Anya,

has secured in the cone of silence this person's mother's actual name, so they won't be able to change. So you've written that down. Yeah, it's on a piece of paper, like it's 1988. What? Writing on paper. Yeah. Like I don't write it on the computer.

Is that a clue? Ooh. Maybe it was. Maybe it is. So, Vaughn, I've got a whole, Vaughn's given me a whole lot of things Maybe it was. Maybe it is. So, Vaughn, I've got a whole, Vaughn's given me a whole lot of things to play here. Yeah, we've got, so what happens is we ask the five questions

with this happening in the background. And then 15 seconds of what I've labelled suspense. Okay. Right. And then right or wrong. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

And you'll see there on the end there, if they get it correct, if they get it correct, if I get it correct, if I guess their name, we go for the bonus round, which I'll tell you about should we get to the bonus round. Goodness me. If you get this, there's just no way. There's no way. All right, Casey, good morning.

Good morning. How are you? Good. Thank you, Casey. I've got five questions, and then I'm going to just start. Can I ask, Casey, are you excited about this new feature of Vaughan's? Oh, yeah, very excited. Would you be excited if you were just listening to somebody else?

Not you? Would you be excited if you were just listening to somebody else's? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You'll know from your years in Radio Fletch, if people who aren't directly involved listening can play along at home, that's a bonus. And this, I encourage everyone listening to the show right now to play along with the five questions and have a guess as to Casey's home.

God, it's just like watching The Chase. You get nothing apart from bragging rights. Exactly like The Chase. Wait, Casey, is your name spelt with a C or a K? A K. Is that not my five questions? No, I just felt like there was some insight into Casey's mind. I don't want any clues.

That was a freebie. I don't want him to win. Casey with a K. All right, Casey, question one. What's your dad's name? Shane. What? Shane. Okay? Shane.

Okay. Okay. I'm now just going to ponder that. Shane. It'll have to go with Shane. Okay, does your mum, question two, does your mum shorten it? No. She doesn't shorten it?

Now I want to know if it can be shortened, but I don't want to use a question on that one. What's, you know, I've got a bit of, I've got a spare question, so I'm going to. Okay. Could I want to know if it can be shortened, but I don't want to use a question on that one. What's... You know, I've got a bit of... I've got a spare question, so I'm going to. Okay. Could she shorten it? Yeah.

Okay, she could, but she doesn't. Okay. Well, yeah, kind of like a nickname, kind of. Right. What does your mum do for a job? She was a vet receptionist. People don't get a job based on their name, Vaughan. How is that going to help with her name, what her job is?

Because she can't be called, like... She can be called anything and be a receptionist. But she's now retired. Ah. Wait, that's a clue. Great clue. Is that a clue? Is that a clue? My final question, is your mum spunky?

She is spunky. Like you'd describe her as having a bit of spunk. Yes. I'm ready. Are those your five questions? They were terrible questions. They were terrible. They were terrible questions.

You're right. I'm going to help you. Okay, so now, Vaughn, you have 15 seconds of rapid-fire name guesses. And if I say your mum's name, Casey, say stop. Yeah. Okay. I'm ready. All right, 15 seconds starts now.

Karen, Lisa. What? Yeah! What? Are you kidding me? Your mum's name is Karen. Yep. What a stupid competition. Best guess.

What up? You won $100. Woo, thank you very much. What an excellent guess. That is so stupid. Wow. Karen, that's such a mum name too. That's why I started with it.

It's such a mum name. Like Barbara. You ask such terrible questions. I would have been like, what year was she born? Give you an insight into it. Oh, that's a good one for next time, Magus. Oh, my God. You know what a big question I'd ask is, what are your mum's brother and sisters called? Yeah, I gave you that one.

Her siblings or Casey's siblings? Her siblings. Okay, that's a good one. We're like, what are your aunties, uncle, auntie and aunties? Well, I mean, it's a bit of a mess. It could do with some work, but I'd like to see this come back. Well, how could it do with some work? I literally got it. First bit of a mess. It could do with some work, but I'd like to see this come back. Well, how could it do with some work? I literally got it.

First name. Congratulations, Casey. $100 cash is yours. Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm just right. There is one work on. Yeah.

Because the bonus round was going to be if I can guess your dad's name, but she already told me her dad's name. Because you asked her. I don't know who's Christian was. What's your dad's name? Forgetting that the bonus round is if I can guess your dad's name in one go. Right, yeah, but. But I also hadn't checked if I could have another $100 for that, so.

This will all work on us. This is good. See, it's an organic build. It's an organic build. Blue sky thinking, light hanging fruit. Let's bring this back next week. Yeah. Be a second.

I'm never going to beat it, though. I wish it was the first name I guess. Yeah. Fleshforn and Megan was the first name I guessed. Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Just before we get too fact of the day, a lot of questions are coming in on the text machine

wondering if I bet I can guess your mum's name is Rigged. Yeah. Because it was too good to be true. You guessed her mum's name first up. Straight out the gates. Now, I can tell you that Vaughan had no idea what her mum's name was. Mm-hmm. Just an absolute flick.

I mean, uh-uh. What noise would I make here? No. I'm agreeing with you with an uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. And someone's saying you Facebook stalked, but you didn't Facebook stalk.

No. I didn't even have Facebook open. It's just that mums have all the same names. Did you have those questions written down? Yep. God, they were awful. I have no idea how you did that. She's spunky.

Have you ever met an unspunky Karen? You're not wrong. That's all but a fair bit of spunkitude. Spunkitude? It's like an attitude based primarily on spunk. Oh, my God. I'm going to try and use the word spunkitude at least once a week. Oh, yeah.

Like, oh, damn. she had some spunkitude. Well, there's some work-ons, but I can tell you that I bet I can guess your mum's name. We'll make a comeback on the show next week. Somebody said, a few people said they guessed Karen as well, and someone said when she was describing her mum, I thought, ooh, this woman's got Karen written all over her. A couple of Susans, though. A couple of people guessed Susan.

Now, that's a pretty good mum's game. I'm saying. All right, okay. It's time for... Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Today's Fact of the Day is about three-year-old David Shiffler. He's not three years old anymore. That's how time works and passes.

But he watched a movie on dinosaurs. Okay. It was in Jurassic Park. It was a kid's dinosaur movie. And then he was outside mucking about, making a mess of himself. Only a three-year-old boy can. And he came in and he said to his dad, look, Dad, I found a dinosaur egg.

And his dad said, yeah, right. You stupid three-year-old. Davo. He wouldn't call him Shiffler. No. Because that's their last name, but that's also his last name. Shiffy Junes. Yep.

Could call him Shiffy Junior. All right, Shiffy Junes. All right, Shiffy Jun. All right, Shiffy Jones. But guess what? What? It was actually a dinosaur egg. In the garden? Yep.

He lived in Albuquerque. Now, Albuquerque is a massive place for excavation of dinosaur bones and fossils. Very dry too. So I guess that kind of stuff would keep, wouldn't it? Yes. Yeah. So he, yeah, he found this in 1995. Yeah.

It was a big time for dinosaurs because it was just after Jurassic Park, but Jurassic Park was real scary. So if you were a kid, they just had other dinosaur available options. For your viewing. I like Barney. I suppose so. Yeah. Much more palatable.

Are you just learning Barney's a dinosaur? It's literally the opening line. No, no, I was just trying to think of... Barney, is it a dinosaur? I wasn't under the impression Barney was anything else. Right, okay. But I just hadn't thought of him as the more palatable version of Jurassic Park. Big dinosaur time.

So he found a piece of this fossilized egg, and it is to this day the only major discovery in that area from the Jurassic era. Oh, okay. Wow. Yeah. And all he got from his dad was, yeah, right. But he was actually right. Yeah, he was.

So he was right. Does he get anything out of finding it? Well, it was apparently an already discovered dinosaur, which is like, let it break your heart. Because imagine getting the Shifflasaurus. The Shifflasaurus. The Shifflasaurus. Now, if you discovered a dinosaur, how would you name it?

Well, you'd want your name in it, wouldn't you? Yeah, yeah, but what part? The Fletchosaurus? The Fletchosaurus. That doesn't sound very intimidating, does it? I've kind of got one. Is Megalodon actually a real one, or is that from Jurassic Park? Isn't that a shark?

Yeah. A massive prehistoric shark? I'm pretty sure a Megalodon is a massive prehistoric shark. Yeah, it is. And that meaning big tooth is an extinct species of shark. Yeah. Megalodon. Lived approximately 23 to 3.6 species of shark. Yeah. Megalodon. Lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago.

Yeah. But I just want to want a saurus on the end because that's the cop out, isn't it? Vaughn-saurus. Vaughn-a-saurus. Vaughn-a-saurus, yeah. Like you said, a Fletcher-saurus. There's so many a sauruses.

But then I think it's also... Oh, I'd go Fletcher-dactyl. How good would that be? I'd be coming to swoop in and... Oh, that's so funny. I'd just still be a Fletcher Dactyl. Yeah. Yeah.

Or a... What else is there? Or a Vaughn Rex. A Vaughnosaurus Rex. Still got the... Yeah. I'm trying to think of a way to work in Velociraptor. Vaughn-Vaughn-Ciraptor.

That would work. A Vaughn-A-Raptor. A Vaughn-Ciraptor. Yeah, good. I. A Vaunceraptor. A Vaunceraptor. Yeah, good. I like it. Yeah, that would work. Yeah, you would swoop in. You'd be a big old predator, wouldn't you?

A big old worry. I would tear your face up if you kept this up. With my big talons. With the big talons. Big beak. So today's fact of the day is after watching The Land Before Time, that was the animated kids movie that was the palatable Jurassic Park as well. Is that the one where they do the share song on the magic crystal?

No, that came out in the 2000s. That was Danny McBride. The Land Before Time, wasn't it a tank on that? No, The Land Before Time was Petrie and the little dinosaurs. Oh, Petrie. It was a heartbreaker. It was rural sads. Yeah.

Many tears were shed. Land of the Lost. Land of the Lost. That's right. And they were like, do you believe? It's the greatest scene in the movie almost ever. That was a great movie. It should have won an Oscar.

It was robbed. Well, I don't know if it would have gone that far. But today's fact of the day is after watching The Land Before Time, a three-year-old found an actual dinosaur egg, but his dad didn't believe him. Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Now, I know intermittent fasting's been a thing. Are you still doing this?

Were you doing this? No, I was doing it. So how you would... 16, 8 is a popular one. Yeah, you would start eating at lunchtime, right, and then not eat after 8 o'clock at night. Yeah, and then 16 hours of fasting. Could you pull that back and start eating at 11 and not eat after 8 o'clock at night. Yeah, and then 16 hours of fasting. Could you pull that back and start eating at 11 and not eat after 7?

Yeah, you can do what hours work for you. But you want to do like most of your fasting while you're asleep because that just makes sense. Right. Because you're asleep for a long time at that. Still though. I don't know. If you're sleeping 8 hours, that's still 8 hours you're awake,

you're not sleeping. And who's sleeping eight hours? We talked earlier in the week Yeah You aren't sleeping eight hours No Well apparently Our busy

Always on culture Means intermittent resting Could be something Oh okay That we're more into You've already Piqued my interest Yes

Okay So you know how They say if you're gonna have a nap During the day The best way to do it is 90 minutes? Yep. Because it's enough to, or you can't do, because the other day I said to Ross I'll do 45

and Ross Boss nearly had a conniption saying it's either 20 minutes or like 90 minutes, right? Well, because you get into the REM, the rapid eye movement. Yeah. Like you're that deep state sleep and it's really bad to wake up from that. So you've got to wake up before then or after. So apparently during the day,

we work in the same cycles. Right. So we're 90 minutes. We can have peak concentration. Yep. And being on. Yep. And then we'll need a 10 to 15 minute break

at the end of every 90 minutes. So you're saying if you're at work, do 90 minutes of hard out work. Yeah. And then just go and have a chill somewhere. Yeah. For 90 minutes. Now, the park outside or the cafe.

It varies between 90 minutes to 120 minutes. So an hour and a half, two hours is generally what people's span can work for. So you might go to an hour and three quarters and then need your break. I get so distracted. Wait, so how long is the break supposed to be? 20 minutes. And so you're intermittent resting every 90 minutes.

You work in active periods of 90 to 120 minutes and then you step back and do something mindless for 20 minutes. Right. Check Facebook, is that mindless? That's pretty mindless. Or away from your desk. You can just go away from your desk.

I would get away from the desk. But somebody who works from home said it works really well from them working at home because they'll work hard out for an hour and a half to two hours and then 20 minutes they'll do things like fold the clothes or put the washing on. That's not a break. That's still jobs. But they said it's mindless job compared to what they have to be concentrating on so intensely. So basically, translate this.

Run it through a few filters. You need a nap every hour and a half. Yeah. A little 20-minute nap. If your work has beds, good luck. But we've been here for three hours and 45 minutes. And I have not had one nap. We need two naps.

Maybe three naps to make up for that by the time we're finished. Okay. So you've backlogged three naps? Yeah. You can use them all at once? Right.

After half an hour, you have an hour and a half guilt-free nap. Yes. I don't think you can backlog them. I think it only works every... Well, I think this is all

being made up as we go along. Right. So you can make the rules whatever you want. I mean, you could say we have intermittent resting every time a 660 song plays

or any song. That's not a long intermittent. Songs these days are so short. That's not enough. That's not enough rest. No. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

I just bought a whole lot of plants at the weekend. Are they still alive? Yes. One was kind of drooping, but I watered it and now it's okay. What one was that?

I don't know. So, you know, I took all those labels off and I'm like, I've got to read all these and see which ones need watering more than others. I haven't done it yet. You said you were going to keep the labels. No, I've kept them. Oh, okay. I don't like them popping out of there because they look ugly.

No, because I've got a picture of the plant on the label. Yeah, well, let's be honest. It doesn't stay looking like that, is it? No. No. Holding the picture up to the plant being like, was this you? And I know one of them is going to go brown and die soon because it didn't get potted right. But, you know, it looks pretty now.

Millennials, a study has been done to back this up. Millennials are plant killers. Seven in ten millennials consider themselves plant parents the average person has killed seven plants in the last year that they've brought into their home yeah but how many plants have they bought i think this generation's buying more house plants yeah absolutely because i'd probably have 15 now i went went all out. It looks so nice. So green. I like how before you said you don't like the tags

they look ugly but you kill them and you leave them dead and dying in your living room you don't think that's uglier than a tag telling you how to

take care of it. How many in the past year do you reckon you would have killed? What was that? Eight. Seven. Seven.

Seven. Don't try to be average on this. You've definitely killed more than seven. Oh, and my whole, like, living in that apartment in five years, probably like 25. Right. Because I go away and I forget about them. It's been a bloody massacre.

It's been a... Well, no, but when I had a cat, he killed heaps of them. Yeah, yeah, cats. And he was a big part of it. The study has found... Easy to blame him. He's not here to defend himself. I know, I can't blame the cat anymore.

Who do I blame? People's experience of ending plants' lives has made them scared to love greenery again. 22% of the millennials surveyed said that they were apprehensive about owning a plant because it accidentally killed at least one in the past. No, you name them. I name my plants.

Well, mind you, I'm responsible for so many at the moment, and I haven't named them all. Right. But, like, all the big fancy ones that I have at the cafe, they've all got names, so that you feel, like, attached to them like they're your children. Yeah. To look after them.

Because 81% of those in the study said that adding plants to their home had a positive effect on their mental health. Yeah. You know, because it adds so much to the space, doesn't it? And those peace lilies clean the air, you know? But those peace lilies are thirsty buggers. Like, every couple of days they'll start drooping. Okay, more water.

It's hot. Yeah. It's hot at the moment. Yeah, but I didn't buy any peace lilies. I'm done with peace lilies. Yeah, four in five people say that taking care of their plants has led them to start taking better care of themselves as people. Like watering themselves. I like finding out about each plant's personality

and being like, this one likes this, this one likes, so we tickle under the leaf. Our fiddle leaf just in the last weeks, four new leaves. Oh, I've got new ones on my fiddle. Four. A big growth spurt. Yeah. I've had ten new leaves from my fiddle leaf over the past eight months. Yeah. Do you get real jazz when it pops out a new leaf?

This is getting a hell of a lot taller though. How is that happening? Get a bigger pot maybe. No, no. Because you know you're right because I saw one in the store and it was like a metre and a bit taller. Mine's like not even a metre. I'm like, why is mine not growing? Mine's going to overtake me in height. Yeah.

You've got a fancy one. I've got to get another steak because it's so tall. It's quite a big pot. Okay, I wonder if we need to make a pot. You don't want it to be stunted. You need to get a bigger pot. No, but we don't want it really big. Right.

Do you know, I looked into how to grow frangipanis in New Zealand. It's not hot enough, is it? It can be. Don't give up, kiddo. It can be. And thanks to global warming, we're going to be able to have a more delicious array of frangipanis in New Zealand easier.

More of a tropical. Plant it on the north side of a brick wall, Megan, and in summer that brick wool will provide extra warmth.
