ZM. Head music lives here. Flesh, Fawn and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Happy Friday. In fact, we're lucky to even have Anya here yesterday. Yesterday, she was nearly crushed to death by a falling panel. You know, I'm on my way to get some wangs. What a way to go. So it fell down just after you went past it? Yeah, it was about 10 minutes. So this is the reason why some commuters will face some wait times

coming into the city and last night why it was so crazy leaving is because an apartment building just down the road from work, which is, I believe, being repaired. Works just started to repair it. It looks leaky. I think it was one of those leaky buildings. You can look at a building and you're like, leaky. And it just fell off onto the

road, a 40kg panel, and just minutes, was it minutes after or minutes before you walked past? Yeah, right. Final destination, so that means final destination is still coming for you. Logging truck. It didn't hit or get close to hitting anybody though. Did it? Did it land

on the road? It did, yeah, It landed on the road, so luckily. Now, if it landed on the road and someone like me who takes lime scooters on the road had been hit by it, would that count as a lime scooter incident? Or just a road incident? Yes. They definitely put it as a headline as a lime scooter. Yeah, man on lime scooter. Squashed.

Yeah. Yeah. That would have been the headline. Right. Well, you just appreciate that life, aren't you? Made the most of that life. No, you guys should all treasure me today. Yeah, we're thankful.

Spoil me with treats and think that I'm here. It's a bit far. It's a bit much. I kind of wish you'd been squashed now. That's so mean. I'll get you a coffee. A small one. Not a mocha.

Thanks. A what? Just a small. Just a small $3.50 one. The cheap one. Mellors. Look after your gal. Friday flashback today.

Whose pick is it? It's my pick. Oh, Vaughn's pick. Okay. After my success of the last two times diving back to what can only be described as a cracker of a decade, the 1990s, I'm thinking we go back there again. Oh, really? Okay.

I'm looking through. I haven't yet decided what we're going to have from the 1990s. But a banger? All right, you lot. Listen up. It's story time. Oh, Megan's got a stupid dog in here at work. Oh, don't say that.

You just gave him cuddles before. He just pooed. Not at our radio station. Did he go to another station? Yeah. Did he go to the Hits to take a shit? No, Coast. He ran all the way around the Coast to do a dump.

Bernadine's not going to be happy. I mean, ironically, people who listen to Coast do poos when they can't help it as well. There's that. Oh look, he's tucking out now. But then Caitlin goes and picks it up with paper towels and walks in here and announces with it

what's happened. Get it out. You don't bring poos into a broadcast studio, Caitlin. It's a safe environment. He's lying down now. Did you not do that paper at broadcasting school? You never bring poos into a broadcast studio. That was like week

four. Yeah. Alright, so you can't find good help, is it? You can't say the C word. Next at broadcasting school, we're learning that you can't take poos into a broadcast bed. Thank you. I mean, you'd think that would go without saying. I think so. You've got to tell these young broadcasters.

Headline one for story time. You've got to pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, man doesn't get pasta security cameras. Past what? Pasta security cameras. Pasta. Yeah. Man doesn't get pasta security cameras.

It's a play on words. You should probably just say one, like pasta. Yeah, pasta security camera get pasta security cameras. It's a play on words. You should probably just say one, like pasta. Yeah, pasta security camera. Okay, sure, but there's multiple cameras. Right, okay. Then I would have used the collective of cameras. Okay, camera. System.

Security system. Man doesn't get pasta security camera. Yeah. Is that better? Okay. Pasta security system. Headline two, mum's honest review sells out adult fun toy. And headline three, shortest jail release for Florida man.

So gets out, re-offends as he's walking out the door or something. Wow, close, yeah. Three minutes was the time. It took him three minutes to re-offend. Wow. Wow. Wow. Like, is the mum's review of that old fun toy quite, like, spicy content? Well, yeah, like, I might have to, if we choose that story,

yeah, I'd probably have to dance around some words there. I'd, like, quite like to see you dancing. Yeah, let's dance, baby. Let's dance. He doesn't want to dance. I don't know if we can be, I mean. He's just like, no, please, no. words there okay i'd like quite like to see you dancing yeah let's dance baby let's dance i mean she's like no please no there's pretty much people have to like yeah but i mean yeah there's stories in the headline right really like if we googled it we'd be able to find it yeah let's see you are finally giving rather than talking about a mum that's against the rules. Finally, but you're giving, rather than talking about a mum, that's against the rules. So,

pasta then, because obviously, the dude, or do you want to know what the guy re-offended doing? Yeah, I'd like to know how he did it so quickly. Any guesses? Jaywalking?

Rubbering, stealing a car. Stealing a car. Holy wow. He got out and he straight away stole a car. Wow.

Okay, so the other one. Pasta. That was on you. the car. Wow. Okay, so the other one. Pasta. That was on you. Yeah, kind of. Okay, well, you're kind of breaking all the rules here. That's not how it works. We go now to Australia, Perth. We went to Perth this week for Storytime.

We had the cafe with brownies. Apparently that was the latest on that. I thought you were telling us we went to Perth. And I'm like, uh-oh, blank spot. Because I don't want to ever go to Perth. I've not been. were telling us we went to Perth, and I'm like, uh-oh, blank spot, because I don't want to ever go to Perth. I have not been. Story time, we went to Perth this week. The brownies, the family went along

and got brownies from the cafe and got high. Yeah. Apparently that was the duty manager who's facing charges. Really? Right. Was it purposeful or accidental? Accidental. Oh, so he's mixing himself up a batch for the weekend,

but then got lost. So we go now to Perth. A would-be thief has been forced to pull his pants down in the middle of a supermarket and reveal stolen spaghetti after it quickly started burning his leg. The video has been released of the attempted theft. It was posted to Facebook, the page of Forest Road Fresh supermarket in Perth, where he was mocked by the shop owners. Stupidity in its highest form,

putting a hot meal of spaghetti from the hot cabinet, like a hot chicken, down your pants, is not only going to burn you, but will expose you to the public for attempted shoplifting, they said. And there is a hilarious video of a young man walking to the hot food aisle where he quickly settles on a small aluminium foil container of hot pasta for lunch. Very hot, because they sit on the hot element, don't they?

I was a fan of getting the little chicken bits in those. Yeah. Many a tradie will have. Oh yeah. It's schooling hot. And the full view of a customer browsing the aisle next to him, he opens the waist of his trousers, slides it down his leg pants, only quickly to realize the heat of the situation he starts walking towards

the registers but his stride quickly turns into a fast limp as the temperature becomes too hot to handle and now in quite a lot of pain he reaches into his pants but the the container has has come apart oh my god and his trap in his trousers as the young man flings out the pasta lid in vain. The shoplifter heads straight for the door leaving a trail of spaghetti behind him. The video has quickly racked up comments from people who thought the situation was hilarious but others were sympathetic to his situation.

And yeah, pretty hilarious. If you want that video, you can go to Facebook and search Forest Road Fresh Supermarket. Okay. In Perth. I'm just loading up this video now. It's just a little corner family kind of run looking place. Hang on, cookie dough.

There's been a couple of posts since. Here we go. The videos only had 26 comments. Oh no, this is a different one. They're having a go at any shoplifters. Any shoplifter. To be honest, here we go. This one, so the actual video has had 197 comments.

And you can see the guy. Yep, down the pants. Vaughn, if you'd like to give some commentary there. He's got a lift. He's got a lift and a coke in one hand. He's chucking the pasta down. The pasta down what looks to be the side of the pants, covered with the T-shirt.

Yep. He's just dusting it off now to make sure the T-shirt's sitting flat, making sure it's stuck. And his walk begins. His walk towards the exit has now become a slight limp, limping on the side of him, obviously feeling the burn now. Limp becomes a little bit more. Speed gets picked up.

No, he's pulling over. He's trying to find a discreet spot by the chippies, and no, it's got to come out, he decides. He pulls it out, but the limp comes off. Nothing else comes out. He is running. He's shaking, but he's got those tight-legged pants at the bottom, and so he's probably got hot spaghetti all up his shin.

Yeah, and there's spaghetti all over the floor. Brilliant. If you want to look up the story about the mum with the honest review, the toy in question, Tracy's dog. Is that what it's called? That's what it's called. What an unattractive name. It's always like Tracy's dog. Is that what it's called? That's what it's called. What an unattractive name. It's always like

Tracy's dog. It's always like Angel Tickle or something like that. This one's just called Tracy's dog. What did we give you? The womanizer. The womanizer. That's right. When Mr. Toyboy was on his overseas, you were going long distance. The womanizer. Well, this is Tracy's dog.

Just one quick thing. She said her soul left her. Yes. All right, Vore. We don't need that. One of the 10 settings. Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. This is crazy news if you love your burbs. If you're... Suburbs? Bourbons. Bourbons. Bourbons.

Your Jim Beam bourbons. 45,000 barrels of bourbon, I believe, to be lost in a fire at a warehouse where 45,000 barrels of bourbon were being stored to age them in oak barrels. You know, when you buy oak-aged bourbon and you get the colour, you get the flavour you want, and after, you know, 12, 15, 18, 20-odd years, it's all different.

Is that a thing for Jim Beam, though? Yeah, they do. They do do aged bourbons. Nice ones. I think even their standard ones aged a little bit. So I Googled it. These barrels are 53 gallons. That translates to a 200-litre drum.

So you know a 200-litre, like a wine barrel. Yeah. So there was 45,000 of them Totalling 9 million litres So that's like 9 What's a 1-1-2-5 So it's not 9 million bottles It's just short of that 700ml bourbons

Over a million of those Were lost So the squire broke out They tried to put it out They managed to put one part out, but another part was still roaring. But then the secondary thing to worry about, you might have seen photos, excuse me,

photos of the completely burnt down warehouse and just the pile of smouldering remains. Yeah. The other thing is, as I mentioned, there's 9 million litres of bourbon involved in these barrels and there's a river nearby. So apparently the non-essential firefighting teams, like the locals, everybody was just, just get sand.

We've got to, like, stop the bourbon hitting the river, which sounds crazy, but you think of 9 million litres of drunk. Because it's flammable. Yeah. Because it's over 80 proof. Oh, right. That's why it was such an explosive fire, but not all of it would, and it would all run off.

It's some drunk fish. Very drunk fish. Catfish. Just dead, a whole lot of dead fishes. So did much go into the river? They haven't actually released how much actually got to the river rather than being stopped by locals who were sandbagging but also just licking it up as quickly as they could.

Just take down some containers. You could chuck a steak on there. It's like wood fired with a bit of bourbon and smoked. Chuck a steak on the fire. Yeah. Well, everyone's rushing down there with briskets and everything and they're like, this is not the time. And they're like, we will never again get a chance to cook over bourbon barrels

with bourbon still in them on fire. So is that going to affect distribution here? Because is it made, is Jim Beam that we buy here or is that what we buy from America? I have no idea. I think so.

Wouldn't it all be made? It's imported and it would be relabelled here. We'd import it in bulk. It would come in massive. Right, but we don't make it here. It wouldn't come in those barrels. Because it would have to be

made specially there. Not Jim Beam. No, but that's right. They always say like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels. They are like made in Kentucky where they haven't always been made. See, that was the first thing I ever drank. Jim Beam. And can't drink it ever since.

I can do a Jim Beam. I'm more of a Jack Daniels man. Yeah, right. See, it just ruined every kind of whiskey. Or every bourbon. Bourbon, yeah, yeah. I think bourbon's one of those drinks when you're a teenager, your dad might have a bottle of it so you help yourself,

and that would ruin bourbon, and then you come back to it later in life. No, you don't. Maybe. You really don't. Come on, it's time to come back. It's not, it really isn't. Come on back.

Sometimes it's in a cocktail. You're worried it's going to be the start of your return to being a Taranaki bogan. It's going to bring the bogan out of you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like magic. It's magic potion. Really? I don being a Taranaki bogan. I'm going to bring the bogan out of you. It's like magic. It's magic potion. Really? I don't see Taranaki. Once it touches my lips, I'll get Taranaki Hong Kong. No, I'm more

of a Mahito kind of guy. They don't really do Mahitos in the Naki. Which is a shame they've missed it. They really have. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. A man and a retired doctor, 70 years old, has been disqualified from the LA Marathon because he set a record-setting pace for a man of his age.

He's 70, as I said. He finished an hour ahead of other 70-year-olds on average. Okay. Two hours, 53. Phenomenal speed for a marathon. What did you do? I'm just trying to remember, what did you do your marathon in? I can't remember. It was three

20 or three, no, I think it was three 35. And you were a sprightly young man when you did that. Oh, God, I had knees. You're still a sprightly young man. Yeah. I had knees that worked and didn't click. What a time to be alive. I don't know how people run their whole lives. No, you see the old people running and you're like, I know.

I don't know how people run. Full stop at any stage. Nah, especially for three hours. But then you see them when they get really old and they're all hunched over and they've all had knee replacements, hip replacements. But then you've had hip replacements and you don't run. Not a hip replacement.

A hip realignment. That's because I started running, remember? Oh yeah, okay. So Dr. Frank Meza has been disqualified because of his phenomenal time that was looked into. Yeah. Because there is a man who, and he famously will go through marathon results, and if anything looks like an anomaly, he'll investigate it. Right.

So he does it across the board, but specifically the people who organized and officiated this marathon were tipped off that this is too good to be true. The Conqueror Endurance Group then found video surveillance footage of the doctor leaving the course and returning. So he went off and then came back. Right. And they're saying, well, that's against the rules for a start.

And how did he still get this amazing time? If we've got security footage of him going into a store, hanging about, using the bathroom, and then leaving again. Right. So he's saying, I was just using the bathroom. Yeah. And they said, well, you disqualified because you left the course. You went too far off the again. Right, so he's saying, I was just using the bathroom. Yeah, and they said, well, you disqualified because you left the course.

You went too far off the course. Right. But that's just because they haven't proved how he actually cheated yet because they haven't managed to find video footage yet. Right.

Of his actual cheating. Because the LA Marathon goes downtown to Santa Monica, doesn't it? It goes right across... From Dodger Stadium to Santa Monica, yeah. Which would be an incredible course

because it would be quite flat, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would be flat. Yeah. So he's saying he didn't cheat and he's disgusted at his disqualification. And they're saying, well, even the fact that he took time out and went off course gets him disqualified.

But he went off course for a while and he still clocked in this amazing score. So if he hadn't gone into there, he would have done it five minutes quicker. Yeah. Which again, still seems to be true. I love that there's a group of like armchair detectives who are like, we're solving this mystery.

So there's this one guy, and I found him when I was doing Fact of the Day once, and there was an article written about him in 2017. His name's Derek Murphy. He ran marathons, and he's a business analyst. Okay. And he kind of takes it upon himself to bust cheaters. He busted this woman in 2017, this article that I read once. I found it again.

Cindy had done two half marathons. She'd never done a full marathon. Yeah. She had done each half marathon in just over two hours. Then when she did the marathon, she did it in three hours 17. Oh, no. So she absolutely blitzed her half marathon pace and kept it up for twice as long.

No, Cindy turned around. So on the day she posted on Instagram and social media about the gear she had, the energy gels, coconut water, it was going to get her through. And then after she'd done it with her medal, she put up a photo, ran my heart out today. And he was just like, you know what? He was 600 miles away.

So he's like a thousand k's away. And was just like, you know what? He was 600 miles away. So he's like a thousand Ks away. And he's like, you know what? It's not going to rain on this parade. It doesn't, it doesn't add up. Wow. So he investigated her.

How did he find her out? He couldn't find any photos of her running on the course through the marathon photography. Because they have those, for those that haven't done a marathon, you pass a certain point and they, they take photos of you. Of every runner. Right. Yeah. However, he did find a't done a marathon, you pass a certain point and they take photos of you. Of every runner.

Right. Yeah. However, he did find a photo of a tall, athletically built man wearing Cindy's bib number. She paid someone else to do it. Well, we don't know what she did. Wow. And then she had the gall to go on Instagram and say, ran the heart out. Or did she just like spray herself with water or something?

Water. For the photo. Sweaty. Like, ran my heart out. Or did she just, like, spray herself with water or something? Why did it look sweaty? She might have just had to run to the bus to catch it to the other end, and that might have been enough. Like, the doctor. What does he get out of saying he did a marathon in two hours 50? What does he get out of it? I don't know if he set a world record for his age group, but he just gets to say he won, right,

and gets a little medal and gets to put it up and has the bragging rights. Just bragging rights, yeah. But then I love that there's this group of people that are just literally out there to bring others down. I love that. They're just like, no. Are they New Zealanders? Yeah, they're Kiwis.

Like, ready to mow people down? I love it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's a study that has been released and it says that running on the treadmill three times a week is helpful for period pain. Now, if you've ever been to the doctor... How did you not hear that you weren't on air then? I never.

Headphones turned up. All my microphone on. Wow. These things happen. Wow. How long have you been doing this job? I don't know. Two days?

You'd wonder. Sometimes it feels like two days. Sometimes it feels like three days. You're going to get so told off by Fletch after this. So, I think this telling off's been sufficient. As he knows I'm disappointed. During period pain, in the lead up to period pain, to recover from period pain. Well, so if you've ever been to the doctor about like intense period pain,

they always say to you. I haven't. Yeah, I'm talking to everyone. Oh, you were looking at me is all. Oh, yeah. You were looking at me. Sorry for assuming that you were talking to me. So they always say to you, you should like exercise, it helps.

And you're like, during? Yeah, okay, mate. Yeah, I wouldn't imagine. Describe period pain to the males. What would you liken it to? A full tummy? Needing to do a poo? A stitch?

One, two. Genuine inquiry. Genuine inquiry. No, I think what Vaughan's asking you to do is set. Like cramps, maybe. Severe cramps. Gastro? Oh, no, set... Like cramps, maybe. Severe cramps. Severe gastro? Oh, no, because gastro...

I don't... I mean cramps. Gastro is different. It's like a sore tummy. Like you've done too much abs at the gym? Like a stitch? Like a bad stitch. Like your internal organs are like cramping

and feeling like they're going to fall out. Or like a knife is going through your uterus. Wow. So when a doctor or someone that does the study says you should be running. Yeah. I'm imagining male doctors aren't stupid enough to say that. Oh, 100%. Have they actually said that to you?

Yes. They say, oh, if you do some exercise, it can really help. I was like, one, I exercise. And two, thanks. You definitely know. No, but there is, so there's science behind this, and I understand why they're saying it. So, they say that people who use,

women who use gym equipment experience 22% less pain after six months. So, this is continual, general use of gym equipment, because it can help stop the release of prostaglandins. That's a chemical that causes the blood vessels in the uterus to constrict

and then it stops oxygen getting in there and it causes the pain. Well, you're always gymming and using gym equipment every day. Yeah. What do you think about that? Well, no, it's kind of, yeah. I don't like hearing it, but when when you even if you go for a walk when you've got like period pain

it does ease it a little bit and you're like no I can't producer Caitlin this is the last thing you feel like doing do you agree but I don't want to hear it

I just want to sit on the couch and eat chips and so what you're saying is you want help but you don't Fawn shut up

you have no idea I'm going to kick you in the balls one day and... I'll walk it off. It's the last thing you feel like... Three times awake. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Want to perk up your marriage? Try some chore play.

There's an author called Melissa Katsoulis, and she's written a new book and cites chore play as cementing a couple's relationship. It is 2019. Yes, correct. But in a recent survey, 88% of women felt the domestic onus was still on them even if they also had a job and were career focused. Do you feel that, Megan?

No. No. But we have like kind of unspoken designated jobs. Okay. Just that we like better than others. Right. So it's kind of like shared anyway. Okay.

But if he does one of my unspoken designated jobs. It's a turn on. Yeah. Well, that's what she's saying. Just to help me out a bit. Really? Yeah. Okay. But if he does one of my unspoken designated jobs. It's a turn on. Yeah. Well, that's what she's saying. Just to help me out a bit. Really? Yeah.

Okay. It can be beneficial to lads to do a chore without being asked. Because I do all my housework. Should I be turning myself on? And at the end of the day, you say thank you to yourself. At the end of the day. Great. Sometimes you get so turned on about doing your own chores, you have to stop in the middle of them.

Thank you, South. So this is apparently a thing. What? The onus is still on. The females feel like it's still on them, even though, you know, we're past that, or we should be past that. So the top six chores to get her going.

But here's the catch. If a guy does a chore, you're not allowed to critique the chore in the way you would have done it better. This is what it says in the book. This is what the book says. All the work's undone. He won't go out of his way again. Okay. It'll kill the buzz.

He might have done a second-rate job, but he gave it a go. This probably works both ways. Yeah. And same-sex couples as well. Right. There's probably somebody who's a bit cleaner when, but he gave it a go. This probably works both ways. And same sex couples as well. There's probably somebody who's a bit cleaner, when the other person does it, there's a critique. So the top six chores to get them going and the critiques they'll have to ruin

it all. Number six. The sun's out. I might hang out the washing. But you've used pegs and it's just that pegs leave peg marks on my clothes. This is Megan. Yeah. Oh, that's okay.

I made it a shared peg situation with the clothes next to it so there'll be no peg marks. Oh, thanks hun but it's just that my top is sharing

a peg with a towel so now it might have some fluff on it from the towel and it's not going to dry as quick under that towel as it did on the

rest of the garment. I was just worried about the sides of your t-shirt stretching too and peg marks. How hard are you? No, but it's the the rest of the garment. I'm just worried about the sides of your t-shirt stretching too and peg marks. How hard are you? No, but it's the wetness of the fabric. It drags it down. So you would rather have

a line running through the middle of a t-shirt than pegged at the ends. You're a monster. Because I don't want it stretched at the sides. It doesn't stretch. I know you're anti-peg on a clothes source too. Yeah. I'm pro-peg on a clothes source. So you can pick the whole clothes source up and move it. But you drove it over.

You can still move it. Drives faster. Slips off in transit. How careful when you're moving it. No, mate. I'm ripped shit and bust when I'm moving the clothes source. I'm like, come on. No.

And out we go. I'm anti-peg. I'm like looking after the clothes. Oh, no. Well, see, you've ruined it. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six chores to get her going and the critiques you'll have that'll ruin it all.

After the clothes are dry, you know what? I might just watch The Chase or Tipping Point and fold the laundry. Put it away. Oh, that's nice. It's just that you've folded that shirt and that needed to be hung. So now it's got creases in it. Oh, that's okay. I'll iron it. It can't be ironed. It's okay now it's got creases in it. Oh, that's okay. I'll iron it.

It can't be ironed. It's okay. It's fine. Just leave it. I'll wash it again. Is this just the top six things that happen in your house? You've caught on. You've caught on. Number four on the list of the top six chores to get her going and the critiques you'll have that'll ruin it all

are you wash the dishes. Oh my god, thanks for doing that, babe. But if I can just give you a little advice for next time. You've used a lot of dishwashing liquid and some of the bubbles will leave stains on the stainless steel stuff if you just leave them to drip dry. And then this kind

of wide-eyed are you going to leave them to drip dry? Or are you going to tell them? I'll just wipe the stains off when I put it in the drawer later. Okay. So when were you going to do that? Well, I don't know.

When they're dry. Okay. Okay. Number three on the list of the top six chores to get her going and the critiques she'll have that'll ruin it all. You know what? I might vacuum. That's nice.

Oh my God, you vacuumed. But can I just say, can I just say generally I work from one end of the carpet to the other so that it all looks the same way after you vacuum. I think we've literally had this conversation. He said it to me. Really? When I'd done the vacuuming. And you'd kind of gone.

You'd leave streaks everywhere in the carpet. And I said, why does it matter? And she said, well, you can tell you vacuumed it. I'm like, that's the intention of vacuuming. So people can see that I vacuumed. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, but you want it to all go one way. No, I just go mine anyway.

Yeah. I don't care. Who cares? Because once you walk over it a few times, it's gone. It's gone. And it's dirty again. Yeah. So don't even bother vacuuming in Because once you walk over it a few times, it's gone. It's gone. And it's dirty again. Yeah. So don't even bother vacuuming in the first place.

We learned this the hard way. Number two on the list of the top six chores to get it going and the critiques you'll have that'll ruin it all. Taking the rubbish out when the bin's getting full under the bench. Yeah. Oh, great. The bin's empty. Oh, you're welcome.

I emptied it. I know you don't like having to take it out when it's a bit full and stuff in there's a bit gross. Oh, I meant the bin is empty as in it like you took the last one out, but you didn't put a new liner in. I do hate that. Like finish the job. Yeah, but then he's taking the rubbish out. It's funny.

It's just that the person that says that has just kept pushing more stuff into the bin rather than taking it out. So you'd think if they were that much of a perfectionist to demand a bin liner moments after the last one was taken out, my hands are full because the bin is so full from people piling so much shit into it once it was already full. You'd think they'd just be like, I'll put the new bin liner in. And the number one on today's top six chores to get it going and the critiques you'll have that will ruin it all. Cleaning the bathroom.

Oh, you've cleaned the bathroom. Yeah, yeah. It's just that it was getting a bit, you know, dirty and the extractor fan's not so great so there's a bit of mould there. Yeah, I could tell. It's just that the whole house stinks of exit mould now and we've got people coming over so the whole place stinks. And they're just going to be like, this house smells of disinfectant.

That happened to you, didn't it? I can tell by the... Just light a candle. It did. It happened. And my parents are coming over and I know my mum wouldn't care. No.

And I'd say, can you smell that bleachy stuff? Mum would be like, yeah, your house smells very clean. I was like, thank you. And it looks clean too, doesn't it, mother? It looks wonderful, yeah. I wish your father put in this much effort around the house. And dad's just like, why am I being dragged into this? What have I done?

You haven't done anything. That's the problem. That's today's Top Socks. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's a job now where you can demand a massive salary, you can demand designer clothes and stuff and demand respect from your employer. Right.

And you were saying this could be a good job for your OE if you're going to London. If you can get it, yeah. So it's nannying. Oh, no. And while we've... Yeah, I mean, you do have to look after children. I left that out.

Yeah. But there's a lot of parents and I guess they're kind of more wealthy people that are saying they're a bit frazzled with their nannies because the demands are getting so intense. What, the nannies' demands? Yeah. The nannies are demanding things? They're demanding around £120,000.

Jeez, like a $240,000 job. Yeah, that's like a live-in nanny though. Like obviously like working. But still, if you're on your OE and you're getting paid $240,000 New Zealand dollars and you don't have to pay rent. That's not all. And they're demanding designer wardrobes as well. They want the use of the private planes.

Wow. They want the use of private planes. Yeah. And then the thing is, if you've got a private plane and you're not using it, you might as well. You might as well, yeah. But it still costs you. It's not like your car. You can just need it to fuel up. Yeah. It's like, it costs them all. If you've got a private plane, I don't think you're too worried about the

costs of it, are you? No, probably not. But then if you're hanging out with these families, you would want good clothing, because you can't go out with this rich family in your track pants. But I guess they're expecting you to pay for that with that salary that you earn. Yeah, okay, that's a fair call. Yeah, and then they're asking for cash bonuses.

I don't know what you would get a bonus for. Like if little Timmy gets an A. Or colours inside the lines. Yeah. What if Timmy's just a general dumbass? That's really hard. That's on you, that's on you. But then I think if the kids that you were nannying for liked you,

then the parents would probably want to keep you around, right? Yeah. But they're saying it's kind of like extortionist because they see you at your worst. They see you arguing with your partner. They see all the dirt about your family. Oh, yeah. So you can't really get rid of them unless they sign a big NDA.

But then they still know your... They know your dirty goss, yeah. Wow, yeah, that's a good point. I never thought about that. Because these people are generally, you know, like, they're that wealthy. They're high-paying jobs. They've got, like, stuff going on behind closed doors.

And the nanny's seeing it. Yeah. Love it. What are we doing here? Let's go nanny somewhere. I'd be so good at extorting people. Oh, but not nannying. I keep forgetting these kids you have to look

after. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I've looked after kids. They more or less look after themselves. I know, but these are like rich kids. Are they like bratty? Yes. I'd imagine so. I've known some people that have nannied in the UK and they said these rich kids are unbelievable and they're like where do they get the sense of entitlement?

And then you meet their parents and you're like, that's right. Yeah, right. So the sense of entitlement from the nanny, they're probably just getting it from the families around. But yeah, there are a lot of Kiwis that go overseas and nanny. It is like, it's a popular job in the UK.

So I wonder if there's anyone that's like been in the UK or anywhere overseas or here where you've nannied someone high profile, high paying. Yeah. Have you had one of these like ooh la la nanny jobs? And what did you demand? What did you get? Yeah, because for me, if you were just getting just a salary or whatever, but you're still travelling the world, isn't that, that would be just incredible.

Yeah. I didn't... Posh by Victoria Beckham's nanny used to get all the handbags that she didn't want because she gets given design handbags and she'd be like, I do want this one. That was her assistant. Yeah, right.

We knew that's her. We knew... Was that Posh? Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She got a lot of handbags. Yeah. A lot of handbags.

And we'd be like, did you get the last one to one of the assistants? Did you, now did I give you the last one? No. And they'd always be like, no, I think the other one

got the last one. Can you just leave the tag on because I want to put it on trade name. I trust you. I trust you. Yeah. All right, well, 0800-DARLS-IT-M,

if you're listening, if you've been on your OE or you've lived overseas and nannied, yeah, do you have any incredible, amazing stories? Like, did you nanny for someone, like, rich and famous? Yeah. Or just rich?

What did you get? Was it just, like, just another world? Because it would be, right? Yeah. You just go from living your everyday life and you go overseas and all of a sudden you're living the rich and the famous lifestyle. Basically, we want the juicy goss behind closed doors. Give us a call, 0800-DARLS-AT-HEM. You can message 9696.

So the nanny jobs in the UK, some of them commanding big salaries in the news. Nanny's able to demand private wardrobes. $240,000 salaries, New Zealand dollars. And yeah, designer wardrobes. But you've got to put up with kids. That is the basis of the job. But you do get to live the rich and famous lifestyle.

But then I'm imagining some big hours too. Well, isn't it just like 24-7 and then you get like a break every now and then? You get some breaks, but apparently you just be called in during anyway. Right, okay. Well, New Zealanders really do a great thing, got a great reputation as nannies. Yeah. I worked in a UK prep school,

and then I got a job nannying. One of the families was a 1950s Le Mans race cars. They owned those. They were up to three million pounds. Oh, wow. And yeah, when you're nannied for a family that wealthy, you tend to sign an NDA. Yeah, I'd say a lot of people would,

which is, for those that don't know, a non-disclosure agreement where if you speak about anything, your job or anything, you're sued. The nanny we had growing up also nannied for an undisclosed royal family in the early 1980s. She only has one photo album of her time there and it was locked away

because she wasn't allowed to show anyone. 25 years later, we're still trying to get it out of her, but have had no luck. Oh, is she waiting for those family members to die, Matty? I don't know how far after death that can happen. My friend in New York was Siri Cruz's nanny. Oh, okay.

She was legitimately scared of cameras. Just believed they were hidden everywhere. Oh, really? They probably were. Sarah, good morning. You've nannied for a couple of famous people. Yes, I have. I've been over in America, nannying for a couple of Hollywood celebrities, and then

also in Russia for the Russian, I guess in Russia you'd think they were celebrities, but we don't know them. Just a billionaire? A Russian billionaire? Just billionaires. They're Russian billionaires, yeah.

So are you allowed to, are you, when you work for these famous, what did you say, singers in New York, are you allowed to say who you nannied for? No, not really.

So it's kind of, it's pretty easy to peel it back though and work it out. I was in LA though, so New York. What I liked about the one, one of the families that I nannied for, she was a really famous pop star, but they lived in the house that J-Lo used to own,

which I was more impressed by that. We were excited about it. Who bought J-Lo's house? she they lived in the house that jlo used to own which i was that was more i was more um i was more impressed by that you probably google who used to live in jlo's house um were they like were they lovely yeah yeah really nice really really lovely though yeah but yeah the ones in russia were obviously a little bit different but um okay just in certain you know i like any russian myself a little bit different than, I don't know, what we're probably used to. Right. Yeah.

Wow. Okay. And so did they... I have so many questions now that I know. Megan's Googled it. So would you go on tour? If she went on tour, he or she went on tour, would you go with them? No.

So the Russian family, they looked as if mum was actually a pop star. And we never went on tour. We never saw her perform, actually. So that was quite interesting. I actually always wondered if we would. But no, the kids were kept quite separate from their work lives. Okay. So what, mum would just go on the road for like two weeks and then say, see you later?

Oh, months. Months? Wow. Wow. So you're just essentially mum? Yeah. For months. Like it's proxy parenting.

One of these families, there were four nannies and two kids. And so, you know, you split your time out. Yeah. Wow. That's crazy, isn't it? Yeah. All right. Sarah, thanks.

You call some more text messages. Somebody looked after the children of I'm not even going to say what they did or who for One night his wife and him go sloshed on drinks and go to a party He came home with another woman who ran upstairs undressed Throwing her clothes down the stairs saying hurry up I'm waiting The children are asleep two doors down the hallway I was absolutely shocked

But let's just say I got a healthy bonus that night where was the where was the where was the wife I don't know oh my god

she went out give us a like a famous actor or singer or oh no not an everyday name no

oh not an everyday name oh okay I was hoping for some juicy gossip but enough that that'd be very yeah litigious. Like, here's $20,000, keep your mouth shut for tonight kind of thing.

I'd say, it's funny because my mouth won't shut for any less than 50. I don't know what it is. Can you see it? It's about to open. I'd be like, I really like that handbag. Susan, you used to nanny in Saudi Arabia. Well, I wasn't a nanny. I was a private concierge, so PA.

Okay. Is it hard to work in a place like that because, you know, of the human rights and the way they treat certain people? Well, I was pretty lucky. I was based in London. I just travelled whenever they needed to travel, so I just went with them. Right, okay.

And what kind of perks were there for this family? Like, what did you get? Money and handbags and things like that. Oh, nice. Megan's just eyeing up a handbag wardrobe now with all the danying work that she's going to do. So why did you stop doing this? It just got a bit too much. Right. It's like each child had their own nanny and a governor and security and everywhere you went, it was just like a massive circus the whole time.

Wow, that sounds like traveling with One Direction or something. Yeah. And, you know, yeah. And so like the first thing she said to me was I got onto a private plane the first time I met her. Yeah. And, you know, yeah. And so, and like the first thing she said to me was I got onto a private plane the first time I met her. Yeah. And she said, I left my diamonds at home. You need to source me yellow diamonds.

Oh, my God. What, to lease or just another set of yellow diamonds? No, to buy. Right. Would you get to keep them? She's like, well, I'm home now. I've got my yellow diamonds. You have these.

Yeah, I wish. Yeah, yeah. How old was she? She was one of the wives of the crown prince. So, like, younger than me, 25. Need my yellow diamonds now. Amazing. Susan, thanks for your call.

My cousin went nannying in the UK and ended up in Europe for Brangelina. And no family knew until she had finished. She has zero to say about it other than she worked for them. So obviously she signed a contract. I had a pretty amazing experience nannying over the UK for a family that made their money through a medication. The net worth of the family was $13 billion. I went on all the family holidays,

flew in private jets, and each kid had a private chef. They wouldn't look at the price tag for anything, eh? Like, if they saw something in a shop that they liked, they'd just pick it up and take it to the counter. Like, they wouldn't even check the price. Actually, you're a private chef

when you were a kid. Mad. I mean, we all did. Her name was Mum, but... I reckon you'd still say to the private chef, I want Coco Pops. I want chicken nuggets. Not rice's with Milo sprinkled all over. Pour these peas with an inch of their life. Get it out in here. Don't get fleshed out in here. Don't get fleshed out in here.

Yeah. A young man was on a plane and he tweeted an issue he had. This got picked up by media because I don't know if you guys have noticed this, but the media loves printing stories that will divide people. That will get some comments going. They love printing stories that will get their insights up. Some comments, some tag-ins, some likes or some dislikes, some reactions. Well, this fit the bill because a young man called Daniel tweeted that he had a complaint.

He was on a flight and I'll read you the tweet. A boomer, referring to baby boomer, refused to swap was on a flight and a, I'll read you the tweet, a boomer, referring to baby boomer, refused to swap seats on a flight this morning to let me and my girlfriend sit together on the last day we were together

before two and a half months apart because they wanted to look out the window. Strong generational metaphor areas, Shane. And he's Australian, this guy. Yeah.

I just looked at him and he might be right, it's for Crick Info. Oh, does he? Yeah. I'm interested. him. He writes for Crick Info. Oh, does he? Yeah. I'm interested. Loves a bit of cricket. I'm interested to see what you're angry about.

I want to know. So, I was wondering, Megan, what your thoughts are on being asked to change seats to maybe a worse seat so people can sit together on a plane. I would be fine with that. I've done it before. Absolutely not. But if I'm by myself and it doesn't make any difference to me

and they want to be together. So this guy, okay, get me started. I'm started. Triggered. This guy has a delightful window seat, which on even a short or a long flight are great to sleep against. Yeah. Are great for the view.

Yeah. It's a great seat. Yeah. So you're saying you would move to a middle seat if it was to make two people happy. If it was to make two people happy and sit together. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. It was not going to affect my happiness that

much. This is on them for not pre-selecting a seat or checking in early enough to get seats together. Fletch, you're not that much of a grump, are you? Absolutely am, because I was in a seat once and this exact same thing happened and they were talking really loud like, oh, well, you're over there. Oh, my seat's over here.

I wonder if we can, and I put my headphones on and pretended to be asleep. There's no way. You sure are coming. I'd got all my stuff set in. It was like a five-hour flight. Yeah.

I'm not moving to an aisle or- It was a how many hour? The middle row of the plane. How long was the flight? It was like a five-hour. It doesn't matter. If you're on a long flight together, check in or buy,

select a seat before you get on. Five hours. Like if it was like a domestic flight around New Zealand. Well, no, that's my other pet peeve. Oh, I can't sit next to you for an hour. Oh, no. What are you going to do? Like lose your way in life?

No, but. Because you're not sitting next to someone? I know, but it's only an hour. Like if it's going to make them happy, why don't you just move? I'm clicking. What? So this guy, this guy did a poll.

He said, all right, well, you know, everyone's having a go at me because he was called entitled, a brat. Yeah, he said he was a foot-stomping brat. That asked the baby boomer to move. And he's ran a poll online. And the poll actually says that it's a 64% say it's a reasonable request. Yeah. He said, I've swapped seats previously.

So I would have thought asking somebody else to swap seats is just a good thing. You know, you ask. But it was flat out denied. What do you think, Vaughan? Well, I once left my wife and economy to go in business and I had absolutely no qualms about it whatsoever. Because we got upgraded for work. She popped a little razzy and had a couple of G&Ts

and she was okay down there and I called her from the business. Okay, so these are the kind of people I'm working with. Okay, so if... I can't... Okay, so say I was settled in, I'd got all my stuff ready, and I was in a window seat, and I could swap to another window seat of equal...

I'd do that. Oh my God, Fletch. Absolutely fine. I would do that. But it would have to be of equal or better value. I would lose my sweet seat to a shittier seat. Not happening ever. It was like when Sade said,

well, she was sitting beside Caitlin. She said, well, maybe Caitlin can go business and you could sit with me.. It was like when Sade said, well, she was sitting beside Caitlin. She said, well, maybe Caitlin can go business and you can sit with me. And I was like, absolutely not. It's a good, it sounds good in theory.

And I admire your, the stones on your face even asking, but no. It's not happening. No, no, no. You take one and a half lorazepams for your flight anxiety

and I'll see you in 17 hours. You two are the worst human beings. You think Fletcher's being funny, but he's 100% not joking. If I was on a flight, I probably would swap, but man, I'd let them know I was inconvenienced.

What about when you had to move to the back for those old ladies on our flight? Oh, no, he didn't. That was... He didn't like that at all. But I did it, didn't I? You did it. Because you were pretty much told you didn't ask. But only because that was like a 30-minute flight. Oh, no, he didn't. That was, he didn't like that at all. But I did it, didn't I? You did it. Because you were pretty much told

you didn't ask. But only because that was like a 30 minute flight. And it was an exit row situation. Yeah, they were too old to work the door if there was an accident. Yeah, they were too old

to work the door. And I was like, well, I'll step up in an emergency, sure. Yeah. No, I don't know. I just think like, what's the big deal?

They were going to be apart for two and a half months. No, they were going to be apart for two and a half months. Yeah, but you don't know that and also you don't need to care. Okay,. They were going to be apart for two and a half months. No, they were going to be apart for two and a half months. You don't know that and also you don't need to care. So they're going to be apart for two and a half months. They wanted their last few hours together. See, if someone told me that, I'd almost say,

no, you're making that up. I don't believe you. Headboard a headphone splitter so they could listen and watch the same movie at the same time. I hope they got a five metre cord to reach over the other side of the plane. You're a bitch. No, like I say, equal seat.

Okay, here's, I'll put a further pitch bit to you. If you don't move so they're seated apart, she's sitting beside you and she's going to cry the whole flight. Noise cancelling Bose headphones. She's going to want comfort. No, she's not absolutely not I just turn like this

you would literally sit there and listen to someone cry no you wouldn't because he's got his noise cancelling headphones on you'd see her

in the reflection of your screen though you're trying to watch a movie or you're trying to sleep and she's turned on the overhead light I would tear off

the front page of the Keora magazine and I'd slide it into the side of the TV to make a buffer to make a cover. Oh, you're only partially joking. I don't think he's

joking at all. I'm not joking at all. I don't think there's any joke there. I've told you, I'll move to a same quality seat, but not less. Especially a middle. Those are the worst seats, Megan. It's five hours. It's not as if it's like an 18 hour flight. Well, especially's like an 18-hour flight. Well, especially not

on an 18-hour flight. No. As previously stated, 18 hours is a long time. Yeah. Oh, okay. Stay in business. Let your wife enjoy it.

Yeah. Dine out on that one time we got a free business flight. Hells yes. Hells yes. Like, what sort of stupid question was it even asking me if I wanted to give mine up to Caitlin?

I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to take a moment to say thanks to Spark for sponsoring the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. You can grab Spark's $29 prepaid rollover packs and get stacks of extra value. Back to the podcast.

Joined on the phone by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. What's happening? What's crack-a-lackin'? Whereabouts in the country are you? In Christchurch yesterday, putting a tree in the ground. Christchurch yesterday?

I was putting a tree. I was opening a school officially, but it's always accompanied by putting a tree in the ground. Does that tree count towards the billion trees? That's a great question. It doesn't, but don't worry. We've got over 60 million plants anyway, so we're taking a long while.

But come on, you're always like, you need me in taking care of some parliamentary business. I'd be like, one less. I want it noted, one less. One fewer, actually, to be grammatically correct. Well, I did, however, the week prior, plant 10 for Archie, Harrison, Mountain Bat and Windsor. Oh, yep.

Harry and Megan's little baby. So we've been planting trees, native trees, for babies born as part of Trees That Count. So don't worry, the ticker is ticking over. Are they all native trees, all the ones that you want to plant, or are we taking some outsiders? They're a mixture. So some will be pine, some will be native.

But we are trying to up the number of natives that are being planted. Have we talked about your favourite native tree? I don't think we have. I don't believe that has come up as a weighty topic of the day. Because what? Do you have a favourite native tree? I don't think we have. I don't believe that has come up as a weighty topic of the day. Because what? Do you have a

favourite native tree? Oh, you know, I think I've got a beautiful pahutukawa in the back of my house that I really love. It's a beautiful

tree. And it tracks the tuis, yeah. That's good. I love it. I'm a kowhai man myself. Oh, are you?

Can't go past the yellow. Yeah, no, it's a beautiful tree. It is a beautiful tree. This isn't the first time I've just remembered. And this is why your listeners tune in.

Yeah, a little tree chat. On a Friday morning. A little tree chat. You were quite, I thought of this the other day, actually. At Intermediate, you remember that native that we planted in the corner? Yeah, yeah, I do remember that. You and Mrs. Bean, you came together. Mrs. Bean.

She was a great teacher. I won't have a bad word said you came together. Mrs Bean! She was a great teacher. I won't have a bad word said about her. She was an excellent teacher. Do you remember she was the first teacher that introduced us all to Cat Stevens? And of course, when Cat Stevens came to Christchurch, I had to tell him about Mrs Bean from my own experience. I bet.

He was like, cool, man. He thought it was hilarious, mostly because of her name. He obviously just saw Rowan Atkinson. That's the thing. We all grew up with Mrs Bean, but you hear the name and you're just assuming a female version of Rowan Atkinson's famous character. Yeah, so cats even said it was hilarious. What about plastic bags?

Has anybody been fined yet for the plastic bags? So that's... Look, I'm not anticipating. We're hopefully not going to have to use that tool too much. So that's if retailers are in breach and keep importing single-use plastic bags. I just think everyone's pretty on board with it. So not that I've heard yet, but it exists.

So that we can actually enforce it. There's not that I've heard yet, but it exists so that we can actually enforce it. There's an Indian joint down the road from, actually down the road from where you live. He took the handles off so he's like,

well, technically it's not a plastic bag. You should pop in and put the shits right up. No, they've done a U-turn. They're doing brown paper bags.

Okay, brown paper bags. And what about, what about insulation? Just consumers pointing it out is a good idea. Yeah, for sure. So if I can interrupt, Prime Minister, just to change tact here.

You don't want to talk about insulation. I was just wondering if anybody's been pinged on that yet. Oh, okay. Because it would be a pretty ballsy thing as a tenant to ring up and like top in your landlord because it could not have been anybody else. We have had a big rush though of people booking in to get insulation put in. So it's working.

It is working. So that's great. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I've just got a question. When you're on a plane and you're working, when you're reading your documents,

are you worried that people are looking over your shoulder? I am conscious of that. There's certain things I won't read on planes. Because our boss, Ross Boss, joins us on the phone, Prime Minister, and he was sitting next to you on a plane. Oh, was he? Did you see me beavering away?

Yes, on the way to Christchurch, weren't you, Ross? I'm sorry, Prime Minister. I tried to look out of my side eye to see what you were doing. I couldn't figure it out, though. Was it on the way down or the way back? Was I heading to Auckland or to Christchurch? It was to Christchurch yesterday morning. Oh, I would have been reading probably my briefings for the events I was going to.

I said to these guys that actually you were defecting to National. That's what I saw. But, I mean, I might have been wrong. That would have been much more exciting. I guess it would be a good opportunity for you to do a lot of work on the plane, international, that's what I saw, but I mean, I'd be wrong. They would have been much more exciting. A great party defect. Because, I guess it would be a good opportunity for you to do a lot of work on the plane, but you couldn't read any, like, top secret stuff?

No, no, don't worry, I'm very careful about that. Odd luck. But imagine if you could get the top secret stuff, like, printed on a... You weren't sitting next to me, because they don't let people sit next to me. No, I was closer to your security guard than you.

Yeah. So you just have buffer seats either side of you? No, usually I have the protection guys sit on the same aisle as me. They're always big. You don't want to be in an aisle with a big person. I'd be like, you bugger off. Give me a free seat to myself. You do not want to be in my aisle because I'm usually travelling with these as well

and it's not a good time. Nice. Do you get special treatment though? Do they give you like extra lollies or anything? Sometimes if I look like I've had a day, I might get offered an extra cookie. I think you're going to say bourbon. It goes without saying I love one of the special drinks

Well I hope There are no people getting fines for plastic bags Or insulation I hope everybody's looking after Everybody in the environment and everything so Well as long as you're out there enforcing the rules I'm sure And following them I'm a big follower of rules Megan

Insulation rules All the rules Thanks for joining us we'll talk to you soon Thanks take care guys I can't force it. I'm a big follower of rules, Megan. Yeah, okay. Good. Insulation rules. All the rules. Thanks for joining us. We'll talk to you soon. Thanks. Take care, guys. But... Friday Flashback.

What will be a controversial Friday flashback today? Oh, Fletcher said no. Oh, did you play last night? Katy Perry waking up in Vegas, quiet in the cheap seats. Banger. Absolute banger. I don't know. This is too old.

I don't know about this song. I couldn't give a shh. What you think? Was Intern Arnie even alive? No. No. Mr. Toyboy wasn't even alive. What year was it?

1993 it was released. Oh my God. The end of 1993. This absolutely cranked at a school disker. Oh my God. Why are you playing this song? It's so rubbish. I had this on tape.

You remember when I played Billy Ray Cyrus, I said it was the first tape I ever bought. Yeah. Well, this album was the second tape I ever bought. Oh, my God. It's not saying much about your music taste. It was tapes, baby. I'm unashamed to say I liked this song and the other single off the album.

But the album on the whole was pretty rubbish. You even admitted before the song is terrible. Yeah, it's terrible, but it's one of those terrible songs that was number two in the UK and then spent six non-consecutive weeks at number one on the American charts. It became the top song in the 1994 year's end chart. It was massive. It was massive a long, long, long time ago. It was huge.

You may have heard it more recently. It was on Pitch Perfect. It was sung by the Barden Bellas. Yeah, but there'll be a whole generation of people who literally only know that version. That's absolutely fine by me. They're going to be like, wow. There'll be a generation that knows that one.

There'll be a generation that remembers the original. What I'm doing here, Megan, is I'm bridging them. I'm bringing them together. Okay. I don't want everyone to be on this camp or that camp. You want everyone to come together with a crappy song. The crappiest song. Off their album, Happy Nation,

from band Ace of Bass. No. This is so terrible. Today's Friday flashback, ladies and gentlemen. As the sign. You saw it. I saw it. Let's see it together.

The sign. Yep. It's so terrible. And do it. Gosh, this is happening, isn't it? It's Dutty Dutty 3. Press play record on your tapes, ladies and gentlemen. It's Ace of Base. You recognize me, I'm so glad How can a person like me care for you?

Why do I bother when you're not the one for me? Is it enough in love? Eyes for the sun It opened up my eyes Eyes for the sun Life is demanding Without understanding Eyes for the blind Life is demanding Without understanding I saw the sign

And it opened up Life's not for the blind No one's gonna drag you up To get into the light Where you belong But where do you belong? Up under the pale moon For so many years I've wondered who you are How could a person like you bring me down

Under the pale moon Where I see a lot of stars And up, and up I'm so tired I see a lot of stars And that's enough I saw the sun And it opened up my eyes I saw the sun Life is demanding Without understanding

I saw the sun And it opened up my eyes I saw the sun No one's gonna drag you up To get into the life where you belong But where do you belong? I saw the sun, and it opened up my mind That I am happy now, living without you I've left you, oh, oh, oh

I saw the sun, and it opened up my eyes I saw the sun No one's gonna drag you up To get into the life where you belong. I saw the sign. I saw the sign. I saw the sign. I saw the sign.

I saw the sign. I saw the sign. I saw the sign. I saw the sign. And it opened up my eyes but saw the sign. Ace of Base, the sun. I saw the fire. And it opened up my eyes. I saw the sun. Ace of bass, the sign. It's your Friday Flashback on ZM.

Someone said a controversial pick. A very old song. 1993. A very old song. I'm 18 and I have this album on cassette and the whole thing is a bop. Shame on you, Fletch. And shame on you, Megan.

Stop the hate. I think we can all agree this is one of the worst Friday flashbacks ever. Team Vaughan, great start to Friday. If we're going one for one, I've definitely got more to go on.

That text message just below that, no. Had me singing in the car. Someone said, how do I still know all the words to the song? I don't know either,

but they just came out, didn't they? I think you need to see the sign that's a fail. Oh, I was about to read out a bad one. Not what I want to do. Great song. I'm 27.

They were just scrolling through trying to find a good one. I'm 27 and I know it. It's a great choice. A classic is always a classic. Some of you best work, Vaughn. Shut your trap, Fletch. Here's a good one. Someone said...

Someone said... This coming from the guy that picked Katy Perry last week. Someone's opinion should be voided. That was a banger. Banger. Blasting my memories like nobody's watching in the car. This takes me back to the family batch in summer. And that's all what we wanted.

Oh, listening on the Walkman. I vote that Vaughn never gets a say again. Well, he's got a three week, a two week break. Someone said this reminds me of Grapevine Jazz where I could kick my foot above my head. I just tried. It really hurt me. And I should have known

because I can barely put my socks on now. Yeah. Overwhelmingly positive. 50-50. Overwhelmingly positive. Overwhelmingly positive. This week, a menu has gone viral. A little add-on at thewhelmingly positive. Overwhelmingly positive. This week a menu has gone viral. A little add-on at the bottom of the menu.

Yeah, it's extra chips, extra little bits and pieces. If you're ordering something like nuggets or chicken strips, there'll be an extra one of those in there. It was called the My Girlfriend's Not Hungry menu add-on. People actually got really upset. Some people got really upset at this. Yeah, what did they say? It was like sexist and stuff.

I wasn't offended. We've all been there with a friend or a partner, a girlfriend, husband, wife that does this. Haven't we, Megan?

Yeah. Because Andrew's always like, do you want chips? I'm like, nah, I don't need chips. And he's like, I'll get a large chips just because then he knows

that he's got extras for me. Yeah, he's got... Because I don't want to hold chippies to myself. I just want a couple of chippies. But why don't you get a small chippies or a meal that Yeah, he's got... Because I don't want a whole chippies to myself. I just want a couple of chippies. But why don't you get a small chippies or a meal that gives you chippies? Because I don't want to, like,

order a whole thing of chippies for myself because then I'll eat them all. But then you just eat them all anyway and Andrew... No, I just have a couple of his. Just a couple. I will... Is it ever a couple? If I'll do this, I'll upgrade.

I'm just going to get an ordinary combo to a large because I know that somebody's going to want chips. I will put a stop to their chip eating. I believe they've eaten more than the difference. They've infringed. So you'd stop them when it gets to the medium-sized chips? Oh, 100%. Okay.

100%. But see, they've eaten practically a small chips. Why didn't they get a small chips? Because it doesn't feel like you've eaten a small chips. I've thought of it. Because you can't see an empty bowl in front of you. But whereas I or Mr. Toyboy, for example, would be like, okay, I want to eat all those chips.

I'm going to order those chips. And then you come in and you ate half of them. But that's just like partner tax. So why is everyone upset at this chip tax? I don't know. Oh, I'm not upset by it. I think it's a good idea. It's like a little add-on.

It's just getting a little side add-on of chips. Yeah. Because your girlfriend's saying she's not going to eat them, but she is. Doesn't want a whole chippies, but we'll eat a couple of yours. I think that people were upset because it was targeting females specifically, but I know guys that will do this as well. Oh, yeah, but if we're honest, we're the worst offenders. Yeah.

Well, you said it. It's because you don't want to be seen to be ordering chips. Or you think you're being healthy. Yeah, you think you're... This is classic. I'll get a salad and then he gets like whatever and chippies. And I'm like, he gets a large because I'll have a salad and I've been super healthy. But like, I want a couple of chippies to reward me for being healthy.

What's a couple? Maybe like five. So a couple of couples and a half a couple of chippies to reward me for being healthy. What's a couple? Maybe like five. So a couple of couples and a half a couple. Six. Depends how yummy they are. I was going three couples. So because they're not on your plate and you're just taking them, it's not the same.

It doesn't matter. I haven't ordered chips. No. You shouldn't feel guilty because you didn't order. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. And when you go to pay and you get an itemised bill, you can look at it and be like, it's just a salad for me. Just a salad, yeah. And when you go to pay and you get an itemised bill, you can look at it and be like,

it's just a salad for me. Just a salad, yeah. You can feel better about yourself. So this has divided people and made people on the internet angry, I guess maybe because of the sexist angle and take. But could we take some calls now on those arguments you always have with your partner over food? Whether it's this, the eating the extra food or the chips, or is it like just arguments on what you're going to have for dinner?

Because that's a big one, isn't it? Yeah, all the time. Every time. Do you have this conversation every day? More or less every day. Yeah. Now I just say, what did Josh Emmett make? That's what I say.

Because he's making something every night on the ground. I know, but he made brioche from scratch last night. It's like, who's doing that? Well, Sade should be doing it tonight. Because I'm going to be asked soon after she drops the kids off

and I'll reply with, how about that brioche Josh Emmett made from scratch last night? It just looks like it takes forever. Yeah. All the stuff he makes.

And it's so much fun watching him, but then, well, I don't want to do it. Yeah, it's too long. It's almost like, just save me some, Josh.

Just bring it around. Like Josh Emmett's food bag. Yeah. And he just comes around and gives you the leftovers. Yeah. I'd have to make a bigger brioche because everybody would want his loss. Yeah. He's great on Instagram to follow.

Yeah. How bad has an argument got about what we're having for dinner? Oh, it's always just like, well, no, the worst is when I make a suggestion and it just gets shot down immediately. Because she didn't want that. Salmon. I don't want salmon. I'll be like, well, you didn't dictate that pre-decision.

You didn't say. But it's not until you've suggested salmon that I realise it's not what I want, you know? But you should say. Well, have a think about what you want. No, but I'm not sure. You could, no, but you could say. I don't want pizza. I want something more healthy. That's it. Sometimes I will just say something I know that she what you want. No, but I'm not sure. You could say... I don't want pizza.

I want something more healthy. That's the sometimes I will just say something I know that she won't want. Right. Right, okay. Yeah. Like raw chicken. That's not helpful, is it? Raw chicken.

What do you want for dinner? Raw chicken. We can't have raw chicken. Why not? It'll make you sick. Oh, that's what they want you to believe. The oven people. Because they want you to cook.'s what they want you to believe. The oven people. Because they want you to cook.

Yeah, they want you to use your oven. Heat it up. Where? We'll use the oven. Good coming from you, big oven. It's all... Yeah. I might sound crazy, but it's conspiracy, man.

It's the chemtrails. Yes, yeah. Yeah, well, you can't cook a chicken in chemtrails. All right, well, maybe it's when your partner has a partner tax and eats a little bit of your food every time. But what are the arguments you always have with your partner over food? 0800 DALSATM. Give us a text, 9696.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's a new menu trend that's gone viral. So basically it's like little add-ons. My girlfriend is not hungry is what it's called. So you can add on fries or cheese sticks or wings to your order. Because she'll have a couple and then you won't have enough. Just a couple? Some people have called it sexist.

Others are finding it quite hilarious. No, we do it. And very true. Yeah. So we want to know your arguments about food within your partnership. Somebody messaged in saying spice level. Oh, yeah. As a constant

argue. I love extra chilli so you know you can taste it. My partner who's a chef complains every time I cook something that I'm too heavy handed with the chilli. We've had this if I'm barbecuing and Sade will come in during the rubbing and the seasoning and she'll be like, you go so

heavy on it. I'm like excuse me. Leave. This is where the flavor happens. Yeah, right. Don't tell me to back up. A chili dish, though, you could serve your half and then put the chili. No, no, no.

You've got to get the dish. It's cooked through. Yeah. It's cooked through. It's like if you're sharing it, if you're going to get a few Indian dishes and share the curries. But I want one of them to be hot enough to make me feel alive. But then that means you get the whole curry.

I don't get to taste that one. I'm like, you're more than welcome to taste that one. But it's going to be hot. We've set you off, haven't we? Shobi, what's the argument you always have with your partner over food? Oh, my God. Don't get me started, Dawn. Honestly, he'll be like, no, you can't have that from the pantry.

That's mine. It's my bike ride. And I'll be like, but come on, there's plenty there for both of us. And he's like, no, no, that's my snacks. Those are my snacks. And I'm like, well, when you go to the supermarket, buy me my snacks. They're right on the list. Wait, so you're, but is he, is it a joint account? You said, did you say husband? My partner. Oh, partner, list. Wait, so you're... But is it a joint account?

You said... Did you say husband? My partner. Oh, partner, partner. Yeah, yeah. But is it a joint account that's purchasing these snacks? Um, no.

Ah, well, stick to your own goddamn snacks then, woman! They are not your snacks! I'm on bike riders' team. Well, what kind of bike snacks is he taking? They don't sound that exciting. He takes like these jerky and he takes chocolate.

Oh, okay. Yeah, right. And so he's like, right. But surely you could eat it and then replace it the next day. That's my theory. That's my thought. Food for thought, right? But do you actually replace it though?

Yes, absolutely. Immediately or what? But do you actually replace it though? Yes, absolutely. Immediately or what, like three to five working days? Within three to five working days. Yeah, exactly. Shobi, thanks for your call. Okay, thanks. Gianne, what argument do you have with your partner over food?

I know it's me being unreasonable, but I always say to my partner, hey, I want to start eating healthy now. Do not let me buy McDonald's. Do not let me get this for dinner. Do not let me. And then it comes to dinner and I want a burger.

And he's like, you can't have a burger. You said, and I'm like, well, what are you saying when I'm fat? Do you think that I need to not have a burger? And then it just ensues. And I know it's my own fault. But it's his fault fault, but I just... But it's his fault at the time. No, I've totally been there.

I do that all the time. I'm like, this week we're going to eat healthy. There's nothing after dinner. And then, yeah, the treats come out. But then if he says to you, yes, okay, we'll go get takeaways, is he then the bad guy also afterwards? Not immediately, but maybe like a week later. Yeah, or like after you've eaten it.

This is your fault, the burgers last week. You didn't stop me. There's a giant Toblerone in our fridge. And the other day Shana said to me, have you had any of this Toblerone? I said, no, I haven't. And she's like, well, you've got to have some before it's finished because I cannot live with the fact

I've eaten a whole Toblerone by myself. And I was like, a giant Judy Free one. And I was like, no. I'm not touching it. And I haven like, a giant Judy Free one. And I was like, no. No. I'm not touching it. And I haven't touched it. And I think there's only two triangles left. I was going to say, is it gone?

Almost. Those two triangles are just going to stay there now. They won't. They're probably gone right now. They won't. Yeah, they'll probably get in breakfast. Toadlerone. Gian, thanks for your awesome text messages.

My boyfriend always says, can I have some as soon as our meal arrives at a table? And then of course I say no. And he's like, you never share.

But you wait until someone's had some. You wait until they're like, oh, mmm, oh, mmm, oh, delicious, oh, mmm. And then when they're doing that,

you're like, oh, can I have a little, can I have a nibble? Can I have a little taste? Yeah. I wouldn't mind tasting that. You seem to be really enjoying it. You do this quite a bit, actually.

I love it because I love tasting. That's good. I don't mind. But I don't jump in straight away. I'll let you tell me that it's delicious. Yeah. Which I believe is an invitation of sorts. Yeah.

But then also, if we do a swap, I don't like it when I take a small bit of chicken and you take a bigger bit of chicken. Well, there's no jurisdiction on that. Oh, no, you should take an equal amount size of portion because you're leaving me with less chicken. But what if it's like pre-prepared in the segments

and one of them just is bigger than the other? Well, I'm further away from your plate so it looks small at that distance. Like proportion. And then I get it back to my eye and it's bigger

because it's come closer. Right. Like if you brought the moon close to you. Yeah, exactly. It's perspective, man. Yeah, right. This happens to me all the time.

Somebody said my partner and I always argue over steak. He'll get a blue steak and I'll get a rare steak. And then when the steaks arrive, he's like, oh, mine's not done enough. I want more of yours. And I'm like, no, because you chose blue. Stop choosing blue steaks. What's blue? Is that real? You can pretty much just see it on the outside. It of yours. No, because you chose blue. Stop choosing blue steaks. Is that real? It's pretty much just seared on the outside.

Oh no. Absolutely not. It's pretty on medium but not blue. You've got to be really into it. It's got to be a good bit of steak to be able to do that. Right. I've got celiac. So when we go out for dinner, I want my partner to order something gluten free as well so I can taste his. But he's like, I'm not wasting a meal on

gluten free. Yeah, he doesn't have. But he's like, I'm not wasting a meal on gluten-free. Yeah, he doesn't have to do that. Yeah. I'm not wasting my order on gluten-free. Yeah. And then on the way home in the car, I'll always have a go at him about how he didn't want to order gluten-free. Well, just order more food.

Yeah. But they didn't want a whole other dish. They wanted to try some. Somebody said this was never a problem, but recently my partner had a gastric sleeve surgery. So her appetite is like tiny. Yeah. So now instead of a full ice cream

or whatever, and she used to get her own. Yeah. And then they say in brackets, maybe why the gastric sleeve was leaded. So that's not my words. That's theirs.

But we'd get a full ice cream or the full or whatever. But since this gastric sleeves come about. Yeah. Now when we go to the movies, she's like, I can't eat a whole one because of the gastric sleeve.

So I'll just have a bite of yours. But then what's wrong with a bite of theirs? No, I'd rather we bought two and you had a couple of bites from one and then I'll finish it for you. Or just put it in the cup. So they don't even want to give their partner a bite. Like, she's had a gastric sleeve.

They know. That's what they say. She's lost 50 kg. She looks amazing. I absolutely love her to bits. But God damn it, that bite of ice cream every time kills me on the inside. Yeah, buy your own ice cream. For a bite.

Yeah. Yeah, because then you take a bite and then hand it off. And he's got two ice creams. And he'll be so happy. This is love, baby. Share your food with us. It's love. No.

No. This is why this whole menu's gone viral this exact thing fact of the day day day day day uh today's fact of the day is about a con man called Steve Commissar. Okay. He's convicted. He's done a series of cons. He was convicted of a variety of frauds in 1983, 1990, 1994, and 1999, all at a federal level, and he has been in prison quite a bit.

Okay. Because he's a cheeky little fraudster. He grew up in Beverly Hills and his first fraud was as a young man in national magazines, he advertised a solar-powered clothes dryer. Okay. For $49.95. People were all about that and ordered them en masse. And when it turned up, he had just cut up lengths of clothesline and posted them in the

and he's saying the sun will dry you exactly hang these up hang this up with an instructions written on a piece of paper saying hang this up between two points technically though not wrong that was a thing he wasn't wrong he wasn't wrong that's brilliant he wasn't wrong. So when at one stage when he was out of prison, this is kind of meta level con man stuff and fraudster. He took on the working name Brett Champion and appeared as a fraud prevention expert and consultant on Dateline NBC, The View, Sally, Lisa and Crook and Chase with absolutely no qualifications apart from being a fraudster.

Okay. And lied his way through that. And he wrote a book called America's Guide to Fraud Prevention. But it was all just made up. And people bought the book because they didn't want to be defrauded. But by buying the book, they had been defrauded. So that's how meta-level he got. He went to prison again when he was caught out for that.

And his book is in a fraud museum. It's considered a very important piece of fraud history by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. And he just got out of prison last year. Right. And no word as to how he's been behaving since he got out. What's he doing for work? Are we keeping an eye on him?

Guess what? What? He was me all along. Tricks. So what part of that was the fact of the day? Well, the today's fact of the day is once somebody sold thousands of solar-powered clothes dryers, they just turned out to be a length of clothesline. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Well, this is upsetting because we might just be wasting our time and money on expensive perfumes because a study has been done and it was extensive. 10,000 fragrances were put to people to see what they preferred. A range of between natural and cheap and expensive brands. How expensive does perfume get? Quite expensive. And it's all just the same stuff, right?

Well, it's just smellies, isn't it? Yeah, it's just smellies, right? It's the brand you're paying for, right? Yeah. Oh, Tom Ford. How much is a Tom Ford? Oh, like, what, $280? $280.

That's really expensive perfume. Right, that's at your top end. Yeah, but you're like... So your cheap ones could be, what, $2080? $281! That's really expensive perfume. Right, that's at your top end. Yeah, but you're like... So your cheap ones could be, what, $20, $30, $40? Oh, yeah. Okay. Those are the cheap brands, and then over $100 for like, yeah. Right, so you'd say over $100 would be your expensive brands.

Yeah, that's like, yeah, your designer brand fragrances. Okay. So, I thought I'd put this to the test test because what they've found is that simple, natural... So basically 100 mils of Tom Ford was $600 when they looked last week. 100 mils is a massive one. Yeah, I don't own any Tom Ford. You're nuts. Somebody else said their $7 roll-on from Zara gets more comments than any designer perfume they've ever had.

My Nivea deodorant gets lots. People are always like, what are you wearing? I'm like, I don't know, it's deodorant. But that's what the survey is saying, is that you're putting on, we're wasting all this money on. But then I don't know if I agree with that, because if someone's wearing a good perfume, you notice, don't you?

Yeah. But good doesn't necessarily mean expensive. So the thing is very simple. They've found simple scents. So like vanilla, geranium, straight up, you know, like a lot of vanilla-y scents tend to be the cheaper ones. You don't want to smell like a

recipe, like a cookie, like you're in the kitchen. Smell like a cookie. Smell like a lovely cake. Oh, yum. Okay, maybe I do want to smell like a cake. So we're going to put this to... You look like a snack. We're going to put this to the test and producer look like a snack. Yeah, compliment. We're going to put this to the test. And Producer Caitlin, you are currently wearing two different perfumes.

You've doused me, yeah. We've doused your arms in one, a cheap perfume, which Megan would be, what, $30, $40? Yeah. Am I saying what they are? No. Well, no, let's not say. Okay.

Because otherwise that might give it away. And then the other arm is sprayed with expensive perfume. This is a bottle, Megan, that would retail. $150. $150. So, in studio, we have Sarah and Danny from the office. Good morning. Good morning. Now, do you know much about, like, cheap and expensive perfumes?

Do you see yourself as a bit of a... Aficionado? Yeah, I have a lot of expensive perfumes. But I think You can get some Really good cheap ones Like Georgia from The night show

She'll come in And she'll smell amazing And everyone will say She'll be like Oh my god it's Britney Spears And that's like $30 But it is so good

Yeah right Well you're from Hamilton So you would have had A your fair share Of impulse cans It's Cool Charm Cool Charm Yes

Yeah, do you like arm one or two? I like one. Okay, okay. And then Danny, let's try Danny without giving it away. Okay, arm one and arm two, the sniff test. One arm, do you like best? I like arm two. That smells really chic. Okay, Vaughn. What arm do you like best? I like arm two. That smells really chic.

So what do I want, my nan or soap? Your nan or soap? Nan. Okay, which one do you prefer? One. One? Dani? One. Shall we reveal, which one do you prefer? One. One? Dani? One.

Shall we reveal which one was the cheap perfume? Arm number one. Yeah. Oh, man. Arm number one was Britney Spears. Was that Britney Spears that we used for the fart neutraliser? I'm in studio. I'm glad Nan's not wearing anything too expensive.

She's on super now. And arm number two Was the expensive Alisab Yeah That's interesting But Dani's also got Like a very experienced nose You know

Like you're very in tune With the I've got expensive taste For a Hamilton girl My number one arm With the cheap ones Started getting rashy So

It's very itchy I feel like I couldn't Smell number two Maybe if it was On clothes And it's probably rashy Because we's very itchy. I feel like I couldn't smell number two maybe if it was on clothes and it's probably rashy because we sprayed like half the bottle on your arm Okay I'm going to go wash my arms Somebody said they always get more

compliments when they've been baking cookies as to smelling lovely than when they put on really expensive deodorant Do you know the one that I probably even remember having the most comments about was Kim Kardashian's first fragrance. And then everyone says that to you and you're like, what is it? I don't remember.

It's like this black bottle. Very high class. Very good, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Augmented reality was like a really big buzzword a couple of years ago. It's how the new Harry Potter app works. It's basically, it sees where you are and it can make it look like things that don't exist

are actually right there. It can be like directions. You could load up direction apps that had augmented reality, open your camera and it would say, follow the yellow line and it would yellow line in front of you and you'd turn left.

Wear the goggles. Yep, yep, yep. That's virtual reality if it's full and that, but augmented reality includes actual reality with fake. But have they not made that so you can wear your goggles and be walking around and it's

augmented? Or not yet? Well, you wouldn't need your goggles, eh? You wouldn't. You'd just look at your phone. Yeah, yeah. You look through your phone mostly. That's the easiest sort of screen to look at where you're at. You could walk around with goggles on, but people would probably freak out about it. Yeah, yeah, you look through your phone mostly. That's the easiest sort of screen to look at where you're at. You could walk around with goggles on but people would probably freak out about it. Yeah, that would be weird. Well, augmented reality apparently is going to be in the next

Apple iPhone update for iOS 13. It's going to make augmented reality so if you're looking at the camera on FaceTime, you're FaceTiming some of it. You know how you always spend all your FaceTime looking at yourself? Looking at yourself. Yes.

And it looks really weird for the other person who's also looking at themselves, but when they do look at you, it looks like you're looking off camera. Yeah. That, as well as just getting distracted and you might look up over the phone to see what's happening.

Yeah. Maybe a hot person walks past. Okay. For whatever reason. Yeah. You could be looked at, you could be distracted. If you select it, augmented reality is going to make it look like you're still looking

right at the camera. Wow. So all your attention is on them. It's like the person talking to you on the other end. You could be looking around. Yeah. And it will make it look like your eyes are locked on that camera. But not your face?
