Isn't it, Vaughan, when it's your birthday? This is a girl thing we do. That's gender non-neutrality. No, it's just between the three of us, we always get each other flowers on our birthday because girls love flowers. It makes you feel special. What kind of flowers did they get you? So lilies are my favourite.

Yep. They've got lilies, irises, there's roses and some freesias. Some freesias. Good knowledge of flowers there. Nana always loved a freesia. Loved a freesia. Loved it. Loved a freesia.

I smell lovely Alright, your chance to win more cash on the show this morning It's back 20 questions And we've got to come up with a brand new item for you to guess 20 questions You've got to guess this mystery item Toothbrush

Didn't last long No We're going to have to go harder Some great questions whittled it down very quickly I think we're going to have to go harder today More obscure item? Yeah. Maybe less guesses as well because it went too fast. We'll burn through all this cash

we've got to give away. Yeah. Ross will have a connection. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. Alright you lot, listen up. It's story time. Alright, I've found three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, you must deliberate.

Pick one of the following three headlines only. Headline one, deep fake. Headline two, totally groovy, dude. And headline three, long white takeaway. Those are your three headlines. Ah, go. Long white takeaway tickles me a little bit. What was story two?

Deep fake, long white takeaway. No, deep fake, totally groovy dude. Yeah. And long white takeaway. I think I know deep fake. Okay. Because there's lots of deep fake. Okay. Because there's lots of deep fake stories going around, but knowing how you think,

was that the Indian politician who, am I on the right track? Yeah, you are, you are. He's had, somebody's released a tape of him having sex with another man. Yeah, okay. And he's not happy about it because he says it's a deep fake and he has never made love to another man. Yeah. And he's not happy about it because he says it's a deep fake and he has never made love to another man. His family, his wife and kids,

not very happy. But of course, yeah, it's a deep fake. I feel we're at that stage of deep fakes where unless you're a celebrity, no one's really going to that much trouble, are they? You know, like, it is going to be a huge problem going forward in the world.

And we're not going to know what's real going forward in the world. I can totally see. And we're not going to know what's real and what's not soon. But I think at this stage. Politicians, though, if you wanted to take somebody down, especially in quite a conservative country like India, that could be, you know, done. Somebody could stand to benefit financially quite hugely. I think we're going to have to.

But at the same time, he might have just been hooking up with dudes. I think we're going to have to... But at the same time, he might have just been hooking up with dudes. I think we're going to have to start having secret tattoos on our stomachs. Oh, so you can say... So you can reveal it. So you can never reveal your secret tattoo, but then reveal it if you get deep faked. Yeah, but what if the deep fake doesn't show your stomach tattoo? Yeah, I know.

It's a good point. It's getting very Black Mirror. Like, I know. It's a good point. It's getting very black mirror. Like a QR code. It's very scary. Well, yeah, a transferable. No, you stick on a temporary tattoo before you have sexy times. On your face.

And then you can be like, it's not me. It's not me. I don't know. I like that, though. This is all getting very black mirror. Okay, so you don't want that one Do you want

Totally Groovy Dude or Long White Takeaway I think Long White Takeaway Long White Takeaway Long White Takeaway Alright stand by clicking this link Yep

We're there Vermont Vermont Fox 7 It took a little bit to load Right Probably because everyone's on there looking at the,

what's happening this morning? The mullah testifying against Congress. Well, in Vermont, public nudity isn't illegal. Vermont? Because that would be illegal here, right? And decent exposure. Public nudity. Public nudity.

It is illegal here, isn't it? You can't nudity. Public nudity. It is illegal here, isn't it? You can't walk down the street with your tackle hanging out. Well, in Vermont it isn't illegal, but people were still taken by surprise when a naked man entered a cafe on Wednesday for a cup of coffee. Security footage showed the nude customer

conversing with the cashier who calmly directed the man to a self-serve pot of coffee. The cafe worker said the customer came in for the coffee. He made a comment about the weather, about how hot it was and went on about his day.

Eh? Good. Go on. Apparently they would have asked him to leave if he'd sat down on the chairs because that's a... Unhygienic. I mean, you've got a cafe, Megan.

Yeah. That would be unhygienic if someone's sweaty balls were on your lovely chairs. Oh, yeah, you don't want, yeah, sweaties on there. Apparently, there was no lewd behaviour. He just came in like any clothed customer.

He wasn't being obnoxious or trying to get any attention in any other way other than being naked. There were about 10 people in the store at the time, many of them regulars. And then he just left. And everyone was like, did that just happen? So they don't even have an explanation as to why?

No. But it's just weird that that's not illegal, eh? They're very free and easy in Vermont, are they? I guess it's so cold and so much of the year. That's not something you have to worry about. They never needed a law. That year, frostbite was taken care of there. Odd.

Odd. Very unusual. That's like a nightmare I have that you go out and you don't realise until you get there that you're naked. That you're naked. And then you try to play it cool and no one's really noticing. Yeah. You have dreams like that.

And then you turn up to work naked. Yeah. Or like go to school naked. Yeah. It was always. I've just googled what do naked dreams mean? Becoming mortified at the realisation that you are naked in public, Megan. Yeah. Reflects your vulnerability or feelings

of shamefulness. Oh. You may be hiding something. Oh. And are afraid that others can see right through you. Metaphorically, clothes are a means of concealment. Nudity also symbolises being caught off guard. So there's some deep stuff going on inside this. What am I hiding?

You tell us. Tell us. For junk. Literally hiding my junk. Behind your hands because you forgot to wear clothes that hide junk. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. There's a guy from Sydney who is taking on a

mission. He wants to I guess before he dies drink a cup of coffee at every Starbucks in the world. He has so far visited stores in 84 cities.

So I don't know if that means he's been to 84 Starbucks or more than that. You wouldn't go to more than one in one city, would you? Because that's unnecessary. Why not? No, he said he wants to go to every Starbucks in the world. I thought you just meant one in every city. No. Oh, that's bananas. Even just in like Auckland, that's quite a mission.

And there's not many. No, there's not even many anymore. I don't think of two. Starbucks never really did great in New Auckland, that's quite a mission. And there's not many. No, there's not even many anymore. I don't think of two. Starbucks never really did great in New Zealand, right? Because it came in. And then everybody was like, but we've already got great coffee. Good coffee. I mean, I love the frappuccinos.

There's a Starbucks at... There's a Starbucks in Westgate. There's a Starbucks in the city. There's a Starbucks in Westfield. There's one on Queen Street. There's one on Simon Street, according to this map of... Yeah, there is. Starbucks's is.

Takapuna. There is one in Takapuna, yes. There's one in... What is this? Kohemarmah. There's more than you think. That's quite a few already. But you could do all of those in a day.

Done. You go to a city. You don't want to be traipsing around a city just to go to every Starbucks. Also, and I don't mean to be a snob, but like Australia and New Zealand, pretty good coffee. Well, let's not say Australia. Australia's pulled their socks up lately though. They're getting better, but you can still get some real dud coffees. But like Starbucks, that's kind of where you go if you're getting a frapper or... Nah.

There's nothing else. Or like four-day-old muffins. Yeah. Or if you just want a creative take on your name. Exactly. So he goes to a Starbucks at least three times a day. Where did he get his money from? I don't know.

Well, he travels a lot for work. So that's how he's getting around the world. Right. And he's just a massive fan of Starbucks. So it's just his little mission while he's travelling around. When you go to Starbucks, they have those mugs

and they're like Auckland and they've got a key or a New Zealand special mug and they've got a kiwi on it. Yeah. And like people collect those. Yeah. Like they go to hard rock cafes around the world and collect like the pins.

Yeah. I don't know why people do this, but they do. Yeah. But is he into the merchandise as well? He loves the atmosphere of the stores and they have a great smell. It smells like coffee. Is this a PR thing? I don't know.

Trying to trick us into it. His favourite drink is a latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a double chocolate chip frappuccino if he's feeling special that day. Good luck with your type 2 diabetes at the end of your Starbucks tour if you're getting one of those. Because if you had to do 10 in one day, you couldn't do 10 frappers, not even 10 lattes. No. He's definitely only doing one of those a day.

Right. So there's 22 Starbucks stores in New Zealand at the end of 2018. They'd taken from 50 down to 22 and Australia went from 85 to 34. Right. So they drastically pulled back

the old Starbucks options as well. Okay. So it's getting easier for him. Yeah. He'd have to go to New Plymouth. They've got one. That's a hot spot, I'll tell you that.

No, they don't. They do. That would just be sort of a cover for selling meth, wouldn't it? Do people in New Plymouth drink coffee or do they just go straight for a meth in the morning? They love their Starbucks. Excuse me. I put in the jug, I'd love one. Would you like? Oh no, don't worry about me, sweetheart. I'm just gonna have a bulb. You're from

Morrinsville. Yeah, I don't know if you can throw it. That's like way worse than New Plymouth. I have mushrooms for breakfast. Bad thing. Creamy magic mushrooms. We have creamy magic mushrooms. Thank you. It's a creative drug. It's not an angry one. Unbelievable. I won't have a bad word said about my home province,

Vaughan. Thank you very much. You just pretty much let me, to be honest. You encouraged it. I definitely did not. They'll take you off the board of people that got out and got a job, which is then if you've never been to New Plymouth, they've got this big board of people who leave. Unbelievable. Stop that.

I feel very comfortable throwing stones from the lovely Tasman region. We're, like, very clean. Don't do any drugs down there. No drugs. Of course not. No, the Tasman region No heavens Very squeaky clean No

Fletch, Fauna, Megan The podcast ZM So on Facebook There's lots of events That are organised And they're kind of jokes This one was

The Keanu Reeves one At Spark Arena That never happened did it No what about The one I saw yesterday Mount Smart Playing live at Spark Arena That's so good.

That's good. That was really good. I liked it a lot. That's good. That's, yeah. So this one was organised by Claudia. She was inspired by the Warkworth community Facebook page, a region in Auckland.

There was a post on there asking if wearing a dressing gown or a robe to the supermarket was acceptable in Warkworth Did you get the initial post results on that? No Should we run a poll, Anya? Sorry, stop doing your shopping for your new flat

Hoist the poll, Anya You're being such a bitch to her today I just love winding roads It's so easy to wind up, do you see that look she just shot me? Yeah. I was doing something for the show actually.

Yeah, coming up on the show. Does that just put itself up? Does it flitch up? Does it? Yeah, my best friend

looks at that every morning. It'd be lovely. She says it's very nicely curated. I might cry. That is so lovely. Your curation has gone unnoticed. Yeah. Thank you. I love you. I need to cur Your curation has gone unnoticed.

Yeah. Thank you. I would love you to curate a poll if people find it acceptable to wear dressing gowns to the supermarket. I'd like to do a sub-poll. Poll, should I do the following poll? Yes.

Poll, do we need more polls? Do we need more polls? And then just put up a poll anyway. Should I curate another poll? Sure. So, inspired by that original post on the Walkworth Facebook page, there is an event

that is being organised for this Sunday. Wear your robe to the supermarket day. Now, so, Claudia has been shocked by how much

negativity she has got from this event. She said, to be honest I was shocked that so many people had a problem with it. Why should someone else's clothing be someone else's problem?

Especially when there's no dress code. There's kind of an unspoken dress code. Yeah, but under a robe, what are you wearing? Because you're wearing a t-shirt, right? You can't be naked. So I mean, that's fine. But then, what are you also in? Ugg boots? I-shirt right? You can't be naked. No. So I mean that's fine but then what are you also in Ugg boots? I'm assuming you're in

Uggs or slippers. Yeah or jammies Well you don't go a stiletto with a robe. Oh you could do. You could do. Megan might. If you're a stripper.

But when I read this like I read the headline and I was like oh no come on like this is the same problem I have with people in New Zealand going bare feet.

It's like it's an unspoken dress code. Like, let's just lift our standards a little bit. Come on. Right. So I'm on the negative side of things here. But yeah, there's a lot of people that have said, come on. Like, this isn't appropriate.

So this Sunday, were you a robe to the supermarket? Yeah. Just because. I don't know if I'd do a whole shop in a robe. Like at a stretch, I might go get some milk, some bacon. In a robe. If it was Saturday morning, yeah. Would you go down to, because you live in a smaller community,

would you go down to your local? No, because I'd always just track pants and sweatshirt. Yeah. I've got a robe. I very rarely put the robe on. Because I find that it always comes undone or doesn't. Yeah. I'm not a big robe guy, so I can't really speak for the robe wearers amongst us.

A comfy pants, a track pants as well. Very much so. Because I had a robe, but then I, yeah, like, same thing. It's just they're awkward, aren't they? Yeah. Like, I'll use it for a bit of a sexy tease. Like, this is what you could get if you play your cards right. And then does that work?

Pop a little leg out there. Yeah, hot. Maybe open up the gap in the robe, exposing the scrotum momentarily. And she's just pretending to watch TV. She's just like, get it out. I'm trying to watch the hills. Get it out or get out? Get out.

Yeah, right. Get yourself out. Yeah, okay. Get out of here. Okay, all right. Well, this Sunday, if you're wanting to take part. Well, lots of people are going to do it at work, wherever they are. Do the road.

Okay. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Producer Caitlin arrived at work this morning a little sad, a little upset. Yeah. I'm actually only, well, I'm upset about two things, but there's like

eight things to be upset about. Okay. So last night, I don't know if you guys know, but I've got a boyfriend now. So last night I stayed at my boyfriend's house, because he's going away for the weekend. I was really tired and I was like, I should probably see him. I've got a boyfriend now. So last night I stayed at my boyfriend's house because he's going away for the weekend. I was really tired and I was like, I should probably see him. I'm doing really well at this girlfriend thing, guys.

Yeah. So I stayed at his house and, of course, I took my car. And then this morning when I left, I was like, oh, my car looks weird. Why is the back window, why can I see into my back seat? So, yeah, someone had smashed my car window, which has happened to me before, remember? It happened to me with my old car, Bridget, like a couple of years ago. But it was just silly buggers.

They just, like, smashed the window and didn't take anything. I love that you said silly buggers. That is silly. Bloody silly buggers. That is bloody silly buggers. So I'm like, okay, well, you know, just being silly buggers again. But no, my work bag, including my work laptop, was taken from my car this morning at 200 hours.

I don't know what time it was taken. 200 hours. What suburb does your boyfriend live in? Like Westmere, so like between Ponson and Gray Lynn. Westmere. They shouldn't be doing that anymore. No. See, I've left my car there over the weekends and stuff

while I've been away. You shouldn't leave a laptop in that space. Anywhere in Auckland. I know that was very... Well, yeah, so, yeah, it is silly of me. But in my defence, I do it all the time. That's not a defence. In my defence, Your Honour.

In my defence, Your Honour, it was like behind the seat. Okay, so these are the things that I'm, because you know how you have to play the Pollyanna game, this is what my mum says, I don't know if it's a thing, but you're like, it could have been, like you break one leg, oh, you could have broken two legs. Yeah, I always do that. So they didn't steal

my very expensive yoga mat. Thank God. How's a very expensive yoga mat? Like $150? $150? Why did you point yourself out to Jolly? What are you doing?

What the bloody hell is a $150 yoga mat that a $5 camp roll doesn't have. You could literally go to... Yuck, I'm not doing a $5...

No, this is important. You should have just lied and said it was $20. Okay, it was from the warehouse. It was $20. Either way, it wasn't

more expensive than a work laptop. Yeah. Well, no, it was because she paid it. No, so what I'm actually so devout about is they stole my

cape cap. Maybe that's for the best given the state of it. Yeah, because you got your manky lid because you wasn't the

No, I'd actually cleaned it. It wasn't even manky. Did they steal your work diary? Yeah, so I really hope it wasn't

another radio session because it's got all of our... They're going to know that we're interviewing that woman from Suits next week. So my work diary, what else did I have in there? All my great ideas for Girls on Top, my podcast, that's in there, so I hope another podcast didn't steal that. My headphones, that's why I'm wearing these ugly ones today.

Have you got insurance? Yeah. Oh, my God, my really nice drink bottle. Oh, that's upsetting. I'm just trying to save the planet. Are we going to be leaving things in the car from now on? Probably. It's just more convenient.

It wasn't your Karen Walker bag, was it? No, no. This one was from Kmart, but it was still chic. It was't your Karen Walker bag, was it? No, no. This one was from Kmart, but it was still chic. Oh, it was that brown one. Yeah. That's for the best. So are these the eight things? Um, excusez-moi.

Megan, you know if we have problems with each other, you tell me before and not on air. Did you not like that bag? Well, I mean, that bag wasn't worthy of you. Megan, you have to be nice to me today because I'm Volneys. Even though it's your birthday,

I'll be nice to you as well. What were you going to ask for? We can do a better bag. Are these all the eight things? Like you said, it was eight things. but it's really annoying because there's glass all through my car

and it was real breezy on the way into work. Yeah, it's only a chilly morning out there. A chilly morning. It could have been raining. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's community notices.

Huntley. Oh, good morning. Welcome to the community notices. Where we look around the country. According to local Facebook pages. Now, we're going to be covering soon in the top six a possible development at Ohinewae, which is just north of Huntly. Sleepyhead Town.

Sleepyhead Town. Correct. They want to build a whole town. Yes. For accommodation for all the people and they want to boost production of any way. We're going to deal with that in the top six coming up. But just south of that proposed site,

you'll find a lovely little Waikato town called Huntley. It's about to be bypassed. RIP. Oh, but the Top Twins mural, that's always lovely, Dad. Yeah, and a couple of local league legends painted on the same wall now.

That's an extending mural of Huntley people who have done all right. Yep. But this comes from Pauline. My husband does the paper delivery in Huntley every night. This morning, at around 3.03am, very specific, I just probably would have gone 3. Yeah. He came across something

disgusting in the accessway between the Civic Centre and the library, and there is no way it came from an animal. Someone had taken a huge shit and just left it there. Classy. This is totally unacceptable in any town. Surely there is something that can be done to provide better after our toilet facilities in our town so that things like this don't happen for other people to have to clean up.

We believe it is partly due to the lack of after our public toilets in Huntly and I've been out on a run with them several times, and it's not uncommon to witness night staff being verbally abused at the petrol station as they won't let people in to use their toilets. That's a good point. Because the toilets are internal access. My husband and I have both directed travellers to relieve themselves on the boat ramp on State Highway 1. Because there's toilets there, but those could be locked.

Oh, yeah, they probably are. I stop for a Mimi and Huntley. You don't want to be walking down a slippery boat ramp at one in the morning. Yeah, you end up in the Waikato River with your pants down. Then questions will be asked. I mean, that river's got worse in it from upstream, but still. Yes. Pauline's got a photo if anybody wants to approach the council.

It's definitely not a dog. No, she said it was not dog. Human-like. Not dog-like at all. You'd think being school holidays They would be open earlier in the morning For a fish and chip lunch Or fish and chip morning tea You're right Morning tea, fish and chips

Too early Yeah Sometimes Every now and then rock a fish and chip for lunch And it's just It's weird I'd rather it was always an evening meal Yeah

It's weird Very crazy start to the day Have you ever had sushi past like four or five o'clock? It's weird. It's weird. Cold rice. Yeah. Cold rice for dinner is weird.

It's weird. Yeah, like hot rice, okay. Oh, yeah, great. Cold rice after four? No. Very unusual. Unusual. Because your mouth is just like, well, this will be hot.

It's rice and it's after four. It's weird. The sun's setting. Dusk is upon us. This won't be cold. And it was. From the TNL community information page, Sarah said,

G'day TNL Boaties. He's a strange one. I lost Cartman from South Park on the lake today. He was floating around in a wooden salad bowl. Don't ask. I was getting a silly picture for a friend when a gust of wind took Cartman off into the middle of the lake. If anyone finds him, we'd love to get him back.

He's not even mine. I'm going to be in so much trouble. There's a photo of Cartman. I hope she was singing, Camp Sailor Way, Camp Sailor Way. When she stands, she can't step. Wow, that's funny. Remember when we were talking about those wooden bowls?

Those wooden salad bowls that everybody's mum had? Yeah. How coincidental we received a community those wooden bowls? Those wooden salad bowls that everybody's mum had? Yeah. How coincidental we received a community notice featuring one of those wooden salad bowls. Very buoyant. Very shocked. Very buoyant, Megan. Farnished, were they? So they had some sort of sealant on them, didn't they?

Yeah. They weren't going to let any water overboard. Further for community notices, this comes in from Erin. Hi, guys. This is a long shot, but I'm connected to many people on Facebook. I'm wondering if someone has had my cat turn up. I've posted and Ross Boss recently here at work lost a cat.

Yeah, Ross. It's gone for like 10 days. Locked in in two weeks. Must have got locked in. It was like 2km away. Yeah. I have posted so much and constantly been checking internet sites and vets to find her. I never found her. I lost her seven years ago. Oh my God.

So I hope it's not been lost here. She'd be around 15 years old now. I got her when I was 12. I'm 27. Look, I'm sorry. You've got to let that go. Yeah. 15 years later.

If you have formed an attachment with her because she's beautiful, I'll respect that but I'd do anything to just see her one more time. If you're happy to give her back then I'll pay for her food for the last six years

and any vet bills you've accrued over the last six years that you've looked after her. Please, if anyone knows her whereabouts or possible sighting, I'll be most grateful if I get my cat back. I will pay you $5,000 on top of this. Do you reckon she'd know what her cat looks like now? Best photos of it. Yeah, I'd get a similar one. Just say, this is your cat.

Run-of-the-mill old ginge. Have you had it on? Like, give my cat another five years, you could probably be like, I found it. Probably could. Oh, that's a serious attack. How much? Let it go.

How much? Like, get a new kitty. Get a rescue kitty. But, come on, you've got to let it go. What sort of attachment is the cat? There might be more to this. It's sad. It's horrible losing a cat.

We've all been there, but you've just got to let that go, surely. And finally, this comes in saying, did anyone ring the police complaining about a green ute speeding on Oropi Road on the 9th of July at 7.45pm. What the hell? Watch TV or read a book. I don't speed and then I get a letter from the police telling me my driving in excessive speed made somebody scared.

Get a life! First comment as a link to the video of that exact green ute at exactly that time speeding down the road. Somebody's got a dash cam, I'm guessing for insurance purposes, that also records the speed that the car that it's in is going. And it says they were going 100 kilometres an hour

and this green ute absolutely pins it past them. Wow. So the person who posted the link said, I don't speed, this video proof would prove otherwise. Was there a response? No, not at time of posting. No, I'm imagining you just delete your original post. Indeed, this video proof would prove otherwise. Wow. Was there a response? No. Not at time of posting. No, I'm imagining you just delete your original posting.

See, I'd want, if I had a car, I'd want a dash cam, but then also that could be evidence against me, eh? Yeah. But then you don't release it. Yeah, when you, when it is your fault, you just hide your dash cam. Oh, like those police body cams. I just wasn't working. Yeah, just somehow turned off.

Somehow turned off. It was like that time, I love getting a letter about somebody complaining about you. It was like that time on my scooter. Yes. The guy who was

doing road works that shut the road. I was like, well, I'm on a scooter. I don't take up much room and I'm in and he saw me coming. He was in a digger.

He spun the arm around on the digger to try to hit me off the scooter and then he complained about me driving on a closed road. He nearly took your head off.

I was like, whoa, and I had to like go around him. It was loose. And then I was like, how crazy are you? How angry are you to try to knock someone off a scooter with a digger arm and then be like, I'm going to complain to the police about that guy that I just tried to kill. If he knocked you off, he wouldn't have complained. But that would have been justice.

Yeah. Served. Yeah. Absolute vigilante justice. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything posted on your local Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to ours. We're FEMZM if you want to find us on Facebook.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Sleepyhead are building a plan to build this town. So you work there and you live there. Yeah. I don't know if I'd want to live with you guys. Absolutely not. One night in that crappy hotel was enough.

Fletchfod and Megan's 20 Questions. It was fine. It's not a review for a hotel. It was fine. You're alive. 20 questions. So yesterday we gave away $2,000. And what?

We only had seven questions until somebody was able to figure out our mystery item. Yeah. So there's seven yes, no questions, but also seven guesses. Yeah. Now, from our reaction to the guesses, maybe some more direction. So I reckon we've got to be a bit more cool on the guess. Do you think we gave away too much? We're going to be like. Poke a face.

No. Okay. Well, we were hoping this would, you know, take a while, but you're pretty quick. So we're going to limit the guesses at this stage.

One guess, an hour. Today, we'll have another guess at eight o'clock, but right now, we're going to start. 20 questions left. With Andy.

Good morning, Andy. Good morning. All right, so we've started. We had a toothbrush yesterday. It was yesterday's mystery item. We've started with a brand new item. Awesome. So you get the very first yes, no question. Okay, is it a living thing?

No. Well done, Andy. That's a good question. I think that always eliminates a lot. No, it is not living, Andy. Okay, that's pretty broad. Yes, it is at this stage. Is it a shoelace? A shoelace? Yeah. Oh, my God.

How did she guess it? It's not a shoelace. You tease. You tease. It was a quick tease. Andy, a great first question, though. It's always hard. Thank you.

And we can eliminate shoelace. And anything living. Yeah. Yep. There's a new Airbnb up for grabs in Auckland. I don't know. It doesn't appeal to me, but I think that lots of people would want to do this.

You can now get an Airbnb. It's kind of glamping at Eden Park. So it's like in the state. I've seen a photo. It looks like one of those fire festival emergency tents that they had. Yeah,

they've called them a combination of domes. Like a dome, like an emergency shelter dome. What? You remember the fire festival? They had those. It's technically like a tent

sort of sitch. What? What? Why? What do we? Well, it's available all year round. No.

And it features in the northeastern corner of the stadium. They're fully furnished. They have high-tech appliances and en suite bathrooms. Because that was my question. Would you have to go down the stairs and use those gross toilets, the stadium toilets? No. Imagine you need to go for a two o'clock wheeze

and you go into a giant stadium toilet and literally you're the only one there. That's the thing. You do at a stadium when the lines are too long, you just kind of like, I'm just way over here. What's the atmosphere of Eden Park when there's nothing on though? Creepy as... Yeah, that's weird.

We've been to the stadium when there's very few people in there, haven't we? Yeah, but that was daytime. Yeah, fine. Yeah, fine. Yeah, nighttime. Nighttime. Nighttime. A little bit. Weird.

But then if you were a sports fan, but you could book this out for a black caps or an all blacks game. So that is the thing. It's available during any game or any event. You can book it as well. Right. And I don't know how many there are, but they've said there's like plural. Yeah, I saw the photo.

I think it was like two or three by the looks of the photo. And for a game, does that give you the ticket in as well? It must do because I've just Googled it and there's video of, yeah, like sitting outside the tent behind a picket fence. Oh, wow. Yeah, you get a little picket fence deck area. But then like you're also like at a level where anyone walking in front of you would totally block your view, and you know how people kind of linger.

Oh, yeah. Shoo, get away. Yeah, you'd be like. Or maybe they block that area off if it's yours. So it starts at $450 a night. So you can get a five-star hotel for that. Yeah. I get it for an event, but.

Yeah, for a big All Blacks game, that might be quite a good idea. It's so loud. Do they do, like, some kind of catering if you buy it? I don't know. Do you have to buy the hot chips and the little playset bottles of wine? Yeah, I don't know. Glamping overnight during the T20 test against India

will cost you $1,700. The rugby league triple header on November 2nd this year. The overnight stay will cost you $2,871. Is it for two people? Yeah, I think so. I think it's just to book that accommodation. You're two adults.

Why would you want to stay there? Because you're going to hear everyone packing down. You're going to hear all the people yelling and talking. It's odd, isn't it? But there's only two of them. Yeah, there's only two of them. So there'll be two people that'll do it every time. Yeah.

There'll be two people that will just have enough money to be like, oh, even if we don't like it, we'll just leave. Or even you use it for the game, we'll just leave. After we've paid the two and a half grand. Use it for the game, the pre and post. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you could have like a little function. The drones themselves are like quite cool. Oh, yeah, it's glamping, isn't it? Yeah. Fancy

as. Yeah. Alright, 7.21, we've got the top six next on the show. Very unusual move. Sleepy Head have said they want to build a little town in the North Waikato and build a new factory there and combine the three factories they've got around New Zealand into this mega town of production. And you live there, you work there.

Yeah. And what else happens there? Find out next in the top six. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello there. There are plans.

You may have seen this. It kind of sounded like a joke, but it's not. It turns out it's legit. It's been worked on behind the scenes for like 12 months. The sleepyhead, the mattress manufacturer, are planning a $1 billion town. It's a mega site. It's going to have all of their mattress making stuff all in one spot.

And everyone that works there will be given the option to live in a house that will also be built on site. So do they buy the houses or do they just rent them? Or do they just get free accommodation? No, no, it won't be free accommodation. I believe it's an option. And if you wanted to live there,

you could live there without working the factory, I believe. It's like a new town. Oh, okay. But it would be built around this manufacturing plant. I hope they name

all the roads. 100%. Of course they will. Of course they will. Yeah. But looking at the plans, so there's, it's got a real town feel to it.

There's like green spaces and townhouses and there might not be a school, but then there might be a school. Yeah. Would you want to live right next to the people you work with every day? Like what if we were all neighbours? No, you definitely need a break. Do you? Yeah. But you might live next to someone. Because we want to be like, yo you definitely need a break. Do you? Yeah.

But you might live next to someone. Because we want to be like, Yoo-hoo, only me! All the time. You might work in Springs, but you might live next to foam. People who work in foam. Right, okay. So maybe they try to spread you out

so you can talk to different people. What would be like the flash one? Or are they all the same? Like, pillow. Probably like marketing or pillows, wouldn are they all the same? Like pillow. Probably like marketing or pillows, wouldn't it be? I don't know. Or designers. The designers for the Flash.

That dress would be like the cheap one. Imagine the get-together, the barbecues and stuff would be pretty. There must be some money in this, because remember we saw that sleepyhead private jet at Queen's Center. Yeah, yeah. And also this 176 hectare site with 1,200 new homes has got a price of a price of a billion dollars. Wow.

Of a billion dollars. So it would bring together all of their manufacturing from all over the country into one specific spot. There's going to be like this, I think they call it a land port in Hamilton, outside of Hamilton, which is going to be just like a port, but there's no sea. Oh, okay. It's just like this transport hub

where they'll be manufacturing and stuff as well. Right. And the bypass, Huntley will be bypassed. So this will be just off the new expressway there. Really interesting situation. And having driven through there like my whole adult life, because that's why I always get passed around the way to my parents' house.

Really interesting to know exactly where they're going to build it. Very peaty land. Could sink. Have they looked into that? Probably, Vaughan. So the top six features of Sleepyhead Town. Number six, no mention of Sealy. No mention of Sealy.

Sealy, really? You certainly don't know how to go, Sealy, past- silly past repeating feelings. Silly? Uh-uh. Really? No. No.

Get out. Get out of town. Do they have a cute jingle? I don't know if Sleepyhead have a cute jingle. You can sleep on it. No, that's a bedpost store. At the bedpost store. Bedpost store.

So you can sleep on it. No, that's bedpost. At a bedpost? They sell beds. They don't manufacture beds. For all the time. Sleep ahead. Everybody in the mattress game has a jingle.

Are you Googling sleep ahead jingle? I'm still Googling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want me to wait or should I go on to the next one? It's obviously not very good because it hasn't sprung to mind. No. Sprung to mind? Good from you.

And it sprung to mind. Sleep ahead. Do you like to sleep, you little sleepy head? Why don't you go to bed in a sleepy head? Done. Now I need,

I need three houses. Number five on the list of the top six features of Sleepy Head Town, the comfiest park benches in the world. Oh yeah. And they're not wooden.

Yeah. And they're sprung. Yeah. But also can't get wet. We're working on it here at Sleep Ahead, manufacturing, research and development.

They have like a little cover over it. I hope we can do that. Like a little shelter over the park benches. I'll play. But then sometimes you don't, maybe the shelter comes up.

Retractable shelter. Like, you know how your mum knows it's going to rain and she runs and gets everything off the line? Yeah. It's like that, except it knows and it comes up like a little umbrella.

Number four on the list of the top six features of Sleepyhead Town, you have to constantly mention how important a mattress is because you spend one third of your life in bed. Even though that would be great, it's a real stretch. Like, that's eight hours in bed every day.

I mean, it's a dream scenario. Pun intended. Also, that means if you've got a six-hour sleep one night, you'd have to get a 10-hour sleep the next to kind of make up for it. Yeah. But in Sleepyhead Town, that's pretty much the equivalent of how are you. You say, did you get your eight hours? I didn't.

I only got seven. Everyone's like, woo, we've got an emergency over here. This guy needs an emergency nap to make up for the one hour that he missed last night. Number three on the list of the top six features of Sleepyhead Town are not only can you wear a robe to the supermarket, it's encouraged. Why stop there? Just wear your duvet. Brandon, just walk around with a duvet around you. Duvet onesies.

Yes. Great idea. Actually, that's a hot play. Number two on the list of the top six features of Sleepyhead Town, this northern Waikato development that's being looked into, the town's mayor is a pillow. That's a good idea. Yeah.

I like that. It's a character, like, you become mayor, but that means you just have to wear the pillow outfit. It's like you're more of a mascot. Yeah. But you'll also make important judicial decisions as mayor. And number one on the list of the top six features of Sleepyhead Town, a woman live on one side of the town and men live on the other and it's just a constant fight for all the amenities.

And there's a duvet over the whole lot. You're like, no, you're hogging the power. You're taking all the water pressure. Give me some more electricity. And you've got to say that and then roll over. Those are the top six features of Sleepyhead Town. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

Send a message to our Facebook page if this person wants to remain anonymous. Thus, they shall remain anonymous. That's something we can offer, a service we can offer. We just don't read your name and you're welcome. But still wanted to initially sent this in for our segment, Am I a Bad Person? Where you're kind of maybe dealing with a moral quandary and you're like, am I a bad person?

And then we all kind of like weigh in. But we just thought there would literally be not a single person on this planet that thought they were a bad person. No, so we just thought we'd more discuss this as a maybe you've been in this situation and do you have any advice for anonymous? How do you help this person get out of this situation? So the email, there's some pleasantries at the start.

I'll get to the crux of the situation. I have a partner who I've been with for over six years now and to put it bluntly, she's overly possessive and jealous in nature and will acknowledge this. She's got no trust in me whatsoever

and won't explain why as I've always been faithful and I've never once broken her trust. That was going to be my question. Was there an instance where you'd cheated?

A history of cheating. No. And you know, okay. Now to the point, I'll try to edit it on the fly to keep this person anonymous. There's a few very specific.

Okay. I've got friends that are women and I've known them for over 20 years. So this is somebody who's been with this person for over six years, but known these women that they would call friends for over 20 years. Slowly over the years,

my partner has cut me off from these friends, threatening to leave me if I talk to them or see them in a social situation. Consequently, I've missed out on some quite big birthdays. As I have been informed, if I go, then she goes. The majority of all my friends have advised me to leave her, but I love her and that would be very, very difficult. So I've got another party to attend, and it involves traveling to another town and overnighting.

I don't want to give this friend, yes, a female, but that doesn't matter, a lame excuse of why I can't go instead of attending, knowing full well that everyone there will guess at the real reason for me not attending. Brackets, whipped, end brackets. I initially thought I would concoct a story for my partner so I could attend, but given her temper and suspicion, I think this would be a very bad idea

as I've got this far without lying. So now I think I should be straight up and just tell her the truth that I want to do this, knowing that it will either cause a massive rift or end the relationship. Is that it? Is that pretty much then goes on to say, am I a bad person for having woman friends?

Wow. Or secondly, thinking I should tell her the truth, knowing all is true. So that's why I ended there, because to me, you're not a bad person. No. If you've told us the truth of no prior demeanors as to that would have cost you her trust,

what does this person do? Get rid of her. No, say, before we all call her a psycho, there is an issue that's very sweet that they love her. So you should, that distrust and everything has come from somewhere. It's come from somewhere. So like her family, something's happened in her life

to cause her to not trust either men or people that are close to her. She could have had some bad relationships prior. Yeah, and while it's not good to bring baggage into a relationship, maybe help her work through that if you really want a future with her. Don't just be like, well this isn't

fair, it's going to cause an argument. You need to help her try and get past that but for six years you think there would have been conversations it doesn't sound like they've had a conversation though where it's come from

or tried to get her help with it she probably goes off the handle if he even brings it up so he's like I'll be in the shed well it's not fair to call her a psycho about it she doesn't sound

like a sane like you listen to that email no she sounds like she's got some issues that she needs help with and that like if you're going to be a life partner you need to that email. No, she sounds like she's got some issues that she needs help with and that, like, if you're going to be a life partner, you need to help them work through that.

Especially if you want to, like, see your friends. You've cut him off from his friends. No, I'm not saying that what she's done is right, but if you want to stay with her, you've got to help her work through it so that you can see your friends and stuff. So how do you start that?

How do you start that? Because maybe she thinks what she's doing is completely fine. Well, I mean, you're going to have that conversation where you just say, you cutting me off from my friends isn't fair. Oh, there'll be awkwardness. There will definitely be awkwardness. I don't think he should lie about going to the birthday. No, because if you've gone six years without giving her a reason to mistrust you,

don't burn it all down now. Then you've got building a relationship on her mistrust and his lies, and that's never going to work. Okay, well, I'll 800 dials at him. We want to take your calls this morning because we need some help with this situation. He needs some help. What does he do? Have you been in the situation where you've had a controlling partner

or maybe you've been that controlling person for whatever reason and maybe you did work through it or you could find a way? 0800-DARLS-NM-9696. What should he do? I'll be interested to see how people react to this. We can all understand a bit of jealousy, but that's probably a bit much. This is going to the extreme though, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.

Like, you know, saying you're not to go to your friend's birthdays. Yeah, that's not right. Like, you're not going because they're female. Because if the boot was on the other foot. Yeah. If it was him telling her that she wasn't to leave the house and speak to no man, it'd be. Well, it's not right either way. No.

Oh, no, not at all. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Trying to help someone out. Yeah, we got an anonymous email from somebody who initially meant it as, am I a bad person? But we don't think this guy's a bad guy at all.

And we're pretty sure you'd agree. So we're talking about his situation. His partner basically won't let him socialise with any females at all. People that he's been friends with for 14 years longer than he's been with her or known her. And one thing, I maybe didn't hit on this because lots of people are messaging in saying, why doesn't she go to the party as well?

She's got absolutely no interest in it. She's got no interest in attending the social events that she won't let him go to. So have you been in this situation and like, what should he do? People are just, wow, there's quite a response to this. Very, very real response. Megan touched on the fact that there's,

if he's done nothing wrong to cause this mistrust, it's got to come from somewhere. She's got some insecurities from somewhere. Some serious issues from the past. And lots of people are saying that. Somebody even said, I was that person in a relationship. My partner had done absolutely nothing to lose my trust. But I didn't trust any man in my life.

After some partners in my early life that were far from perfect. So do you go to a counsellor? Do you go to a relationship? I mean, maybe you don't both need to go? I think relationship counsellors, because I went to one with my first marriage, I think that all couples should do it anyway because it teaches you proper communication

and stuff. I think it's hugely beneficial for both people. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM. So, quite a tricky situation and a lot of people have called in and messaged about this situation. This is a man whose partner does not trust him. He's done nothing to break her trust,

and she doesn't want him going out and seeing friends, especially female friends. Or going to massive female friends' parties. So we're talking milestone birthdays and stuff. Yeah. Personally, I'm like, just leave. It sounds like... He fletched everything he needs to get out after six years.

He's in love with this woman. Yeah, yeah. But why doesn't she trust him? Well, that's what I'm saying. He needs to work through that with a counsellor, maybe. Anonymous, good morning. Good morning. Now, what do you think of this situation?

Well, I can admit that I am that female and it's not that my partner, who we've been together nearly seven years, we've got children with, it's not that I don't trust him. It's the fact that I feel that he should show me some respect because I wouldn't be doing those things to him. But what do you mean doing those things to him?

What are you referring to, going to parties? He's not a party person. It's more, you know, my partner, he sort of will get up and just go out and it will be sort of last minute thing. And to me, that's no respect to your partner. If you're, you know, I would appreciate a little bit more warning. So would you let him go to, say, for example, this is a 40th birthday party with a female friend

that he's had for 20 years. Would you let him go? I would like the discussion. Obviously, he's invited her. I would appreciate, you know, to go. But at the same time, you know, it might not just be that situation. It's other situations as well. But does your partner, you said he leaves kind of with little warning. So you're not

invited when he goes places? I am and I'm not. You know, sometimes I am. You know, recently he went out of town and I was told the night before. And, you know, to me that's disrespect. We've got two children together and, you know, I don't do these things to him. I think your situation's different though. If your partner's like, I'm out of town tomorrow,

where's he going? I don't situation's different, though. If your partner's like, I'm out of town tomorrow, where's he going? I don't want to say, but it would be a six to seven hour drive away. And it is to see best friends. It is to hang out with his male. And I can understand that. It's just the respect of giving you some warning. But if you see a future with her, you need to respect her. I've had past experiences that I have brought into the relationship

and I can clearly admit that it's not okay. I think your situation's different though. Yours sounds like, I'm away tomorrow, I'm driving seven hours away to hang out with the lads, lads, lads, lads, sat dee for the boys. That is disrespectful to you if you've got kids at home and you're stuck there with no choice of what to do. He's talking about a party with a friend that's 20, lads, sat day for the boys. That is disrespectful to you if you've got kids at home and you're stuck there with no choice of what to do. He's talking about a party with a friend that's been a friend for 20 years. It's a

milestone birthday and she doesn't want him to go. My situations are not always like that. That is just one example. I am insecure and it is hard to trust people because of my past. I have gone to counselling.

I've tried what I can. But at the end of the day, if you're in a relationship, you need to respect each other. And in this situation, I don't feel that there is some respect. And, you know, he wants a future with her, but that doesn't mean that you can't, it doesn't mean that you can't not have your female friends, but you need to think about her and her feelings first.

Yeah. Okay. All right. Anonymous, thank you for your call. So many messages in about this. Teara, you've been in both situations. Yes, I have. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. So what should he do? What should he do? Well, good morning, guys. I don't understand why he hasn't recognised that she has a problem. You know, he hasn't created this. So it's come from somewhere.

I don't understand why he hasn't sat her down and said, Hey, I love you so much. And I understand that's where you're going from. Yeah, exactly. This is a friend of 20 years. I know, likely. There's nothing going on there. Exactly.

Yeah, and this could be something to start approaching, maybe even slowly getting her to meet her friends and everything, but all within her own pace because I've been through this. I've had anxiety. Never in my life have I had anxiety besides this point here because of things like this. It's a huge thing. When you love each other so much, why not recognise this?

Why not approach it? Why not deal with it? Because if you don't, this will continue for another 20 years. People love each other so much, but this is what causes breakups. Yeah, right. So a bit of communication, Terry. Thanks, you're cool. Jared, you've been in this situation? Yeah, I think that's pretty fair to say, right. So a bit of communication, Terry. Thanks, you're cool. Jared, you've been in this situation?

Yeah, I think that's pretty fair to say, absolutely. Right, and so what did you do? How was your situation similar? Well, I guess I probably played it the way that he played it and so sort of sat back and kind of waited for it to get better without really making any proactive measures. And probably similarly, a lot of people said to me as well that maybe you should do something about it

and either get out of there or, and like what Megan was saying, possibly look at what's brought on those issues or who trusts issues and try and work through those. So what did you do? Well, as it turned out, she ended up with a mate of mine, so... Wow.

You know what, Jared? There's been a few people messaging saying that the guiltiest dog off does bark the loudest. She doesn't trust you. She doesn't trust you because she's not trustworthy. That's right. Wow. Okay, Jared.

I do think there's some deep-rooted issues probably going way back. So there's probably been an event that's probably made her a little bit funny. Yeah, right. And so if he's really into her, then maybe he needs to look into that and try and improve that. But if it doesn't work, then I think he probably needs to get out of there. True. Jared, thanks for your call.

So many text messages coming in saying that they've been in relationships, and it's guys and girls that act like this, super possessive, trying to control them, and it turns out they're just projecting what they're doing onto the other person, thinking if I've been doing this, cheating in this situation, they must be doing it as well, and they must be looking for the opportunity to do it, which they're doing onto the other person. They're cheating. If I've been doing this, cheating in this situation,

they must be doing it as well. They must be looking for the opportunity to do it, which they're not, but that person's so not healthy. Guilt about their bad behavior. Not healthy. Yeah. People saying that trying to control who your partner is

100% isn't a healthy relationship. It's actually, when they went to counselling about it, the counsellor identified it as a sign of an abusive relationship in a form of domestic violence. Okay. Because I guess it's emotional abuse and control, isn't it?

Yeah. Okay. You're taking advantage of someone who loves you. If we had to sum up, what would we say? Have a talk? Maybe get some counselling? If they're not willing to get counselling and help

Then maybe it's not the right relationship Well 100% That's what people are saying It shouldn't all fall on him He should try his best But if she's not willing to try Then he's done far more than she's been willing to To save the relationship

It's not all up to him Alright next on the show Another run of 20 questions Your chance to win $2000 cash And today it's Megan's birthday Vaughn and I have a treat for you, Megan. My birthday treat! Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

Always. I don't want to sound ungrateful. I've enjoyed pretty much all of them. I mean, you've done a bald cap, so it's probably not going to be that. No, and it's not sexy dancers. No. And it's not something that can be donated, so it's probably not going to be that. No, and it's not sexy dancers. No. Not puppies.

And it's not something that can be donated, so it's not like a tangible gift. No. Great. That's wonderful. Today, Megan turns 49. Oh, piss off. And like Simon Barnett, is just defying age. Yeah, she's one of those broadcasters.

That's his compliment sandwich. What time of the day were you born? Do you know, my mum's been messaging me over the past 24 hours yesterday, like lunchtime. She's like, ooh, started to get a backache 38, 34, what am I? 35, four years ago. Well, you're telling the lies, mate. You better get them straight.

34 years ago. And she just messaged me. She was like, 8 a. 8am and she was born. So she's been giving me updates for the past 24 hours just to remind me how long and how painful it was. So it was about,

now the doctors were like, all the toes are there, couple of webbed, I don't know if you guys want to do it. No, I got rushed into surgery because I had a hole in my bowel. I know. I didn't know that.

Very lucky to have me. How did they know that? I don't know. I went straight from being born into surgery. Oh. Rough, eh? And they didn't know that. Very lucky to have me. How did they know that? I don't know. I went straight from being born into surgery. Oh. Rough, eh? And they didn't fix the toes. They didn't fix the web.

Is that why you poop two times a day? Born. She does. It's amazing. Sometimes I'll go like two days without, but she can go. Once a day and she's twice. It's amazing. Thank you.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. You guys are great. Everyone knows you poop twice a day What's up next? The girls do this The girls When we have a birthday born

There's nothing Because you're ungrateful And plus you When the girls have a birthday You know Fletch is always like Don't You say don't get me anything

Because then I have to get you something But you girls have the girls club And there's flowers There's handbags There's gifts It's overboard It's overboard We can there's flowers, there's handbags, there's gifts. It's overboard. It's overboard.

We can picture the flowers because it's cute. And presents, yeah. But Vaughan and I have got you a gift this year. Probably our most thoughtful. I think it is. I think so. I think it is.

I think so. And you're hesitant because our gifts in the past have been eh. I mean, it's more a gift of laughter for you, generally. The value on this gift. Easily our most valuable gift.

We'll get to the value of this gift soon. I don't think you bought it, though. No, we actually invested and made this ourselves. For those that don't know, you have recently opened a cafe with Mr. Toyboy, your husband. And how long have you had the cafe for now?

Four and a half months. Okay. And it's going well, isn't it? Yeah. There's been ups and downs. Yeah. But one thing we noticed your business was missing. Oh, Christ.

No, no, this isn't Dragon's End, mate. We're not asking for a percentage. This is a gift. We're giving you this. You're missing a radio advertising campaign. Oh, mate. We're not asking for a percentage. This is a gift. We're giving you this. You're missing a radio advertising campaign. Oh, Christ. We have.

From the studio that bought you Avengers Endgame. Is this what you were recording yesterday? Correct, Megan. How gullible am I? I'm just like,

oh, Fletcher, we're just going to record something by themselves. I never asked questions. We were literally in there for 45 minutes. And then you came back? I'm just like, oh, Fletcher, we're just going to record something by themselves. I never asked questions. We were literally in there for 45 minutes. And then you came back in and I was like, oh, where did you go? You're like, oh, I was just out there gossiping. Yeah, I know.

Great acting. Great acting. Now, bear in mind, Megan, that this gift is worth a lot of money. Because radio jingles, you might not know when you hear radio jingles on the radio, but they're expensive to make because it's like a mini song. You've got to get someone to sing and write it. Al, who works next door,

is amazing. And Al, who recorded he played part in this gift as well. He makes all the things you hear on the radio stations. Oh my god, Al's services. And he's the best in New Zealand at it. He's just won an award for this. Guys, stop it. How much would Megan's business pay to get a radio jingle that's 60 seconds long?

Right, so 60 seconds. I only have the price here for a 30-seconder. Double it, Alan. Okay, so I'm going to double the price here. You're looking at $8,000 plus GST. Plus GEST. So technically we're giving her a $10,000 present. Good lord.

Wow. For our show. That's not even your time. And that's not even including the airtime as well. That doesn't include the airtime. This is going to be a network. That's just to put it together. That's an extra $10.

Yeah, this is going to be on our radio show. By the way, we've just found this out, so we're going to start doing this. Is this a side business? Well, Fletch and Vaughn Jingles. It's crazy money. It's crazy money. It's crazy money. Can I get a cut? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You'll get a cut, son. We need you to turn my vocoder on, Al. I don't know how to. Well, Al, are you actually happy to put your name to this? Yeah, I don't know.

We'll see. We'll see. Yeah, you be the judge. We'll see what the feedback's like. So, Al, I'll give you is not only we've made this, but we... This is actually very thoughtful.

I'm already impressed. We are gifting you three... So wait a minute. We're about to play it for you. This is a gift. Then is she allowed it three more times during the show? No, two more times. Two more times during the show.

So you get three... Spot plays. Spot plays. National broadcast, which is most unusual. Generally, a single cafe location wouldn't broadcast to the nation. No, but it's important that the nation knows about your cafe, Megan. Beaufort & Co.

Thank you. Are you ready for your birthday present? We present it to you now. Now, should I leave Megan's mic on, or should we just come back for a response? Because I don't want you to laugh over the crucial bits of this. Or cry.

It's a real emotional rollercoaster. Are we ready for the Boyfriend & Co. radio ad? Yeah. That we've made you for your birthday. Okay, here we go. Hey, you! Yeah, you over there! Hey!

Do you like eggs and donutty treats? Bacon and cakes and yummy sweets? Of course you do! Yeah! And do you like coffee and mushrooms and chai and slices of chicken and yummy kai? Yummy yum yum-o! Well then for you it's Beaufort and Co.

It's more of a cafe, it's the place to go! It's the best cafe! And all this weekend it's free coffee! Pending approval by the owner, she can be a bit of a bitch. Oh, blowing bitch! Valko to guys on board. Want to know where it is? Google it. I don't know the address. Why would I?

Belford & Co. It's B to the E to the A-U-S to the O-R-T and the Co. Belford & Co. Oh, oh, oh, oh! Belford & Co. Oh! And the cove. Buffet and cove. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Buffet and cove. That was actually amazing. Now, you're welcome. That's a $10,000 radio jingle.

Now, we didn't know about the free coffee deal. That was pending your... Yeah, no, that's not happening. It's not happening. I told you, absolutely. No, but that's all right because you can know that when people come in, they're like, I'm here for the free coffee. You'll be like, I'm the bitch.

I'm the owner. And that was a pending offer and that is not standing. Well, we've just checked and like Fletch Unvocator said, full-blown bitch. Yeah. Denied. Not wrong. Denied the free coffee. Not wrong.

Was that post-breakfast that you recorded that? Yeah. I thought you said that meant post-Brexit. I was like, that hasn't happened yet. It's like, they're still working that out, Megan. Obviously, they have to do a new one post-Brexit. That was definitely post a couple of coffees. That was something born.

What a feedback just from the producers. Both, what did we think of that radio jingle? I bloody loved it. Okay, thanks, Caitlin. That was good. That was a work of musical art. Thank you. Thank you.

I played it to the kids. They said it's their new favourite song. They're on board. Well. Did you get creative genius from like that strawberries and cream, strawberries and cream? Yes. That was kind of, yeah, yeah, that was there, yeah.

What did you say? Berries and cream? Yeah, berries and cream. Berries and cream, berries and cream. I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream. Yes. It sounded like that. This is great. Well, you get to play that two more times.

You get to choose. During the radio show. That might be the best present you've ever given me. I told you. Thank you. You're welcome. Your 50th birthday is very special to us. I don't know if it's going to work for the cafe and get people in there,

but you're welcome. But we enjoyed it. Did you not hear about all the yummy slices and stuff? Delicious. All right, fact of the day is next. Loud Luxury. Oh, hang on. No, hang on.

I'm just going to play. I want to play that earlier. I dragged it up and played earlier. Hang on. Had an absolute meh. We don't need this radio gig now, mate. We do jingles. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. It's time for... Fact of the Day. Day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is the story behind the birth of the Moscow Mule. Oh, the delicious drink. It's only in a copper cup.

You got it. Copper cup, ginger beer, vodka, some lime if you've got it. Oh, yeah. It's a good drink. Refreshing. It's so tasty. Yeah, it is. And a copper cup holds the cold.

I don't know what it is about drinking a cocktail out of a copper cup. It always feels good. Yeah, it is. A copper cup holds the cold. I don't know what it is about drinking a cocktail out of a copper cup. It always feels good. Yeah, it does. Any sort of cold beverage. Because I think it makes the cup so cold that you're really aware of how cold your drink is. Well, the Moscow Mule was born because somebody had too many copper cups. They did a mass order of copper cups. They were really having trouble selling them.

Yeah. They teamed up with somebody who, it turns out, had ordered and produced too much ginger beer. Okay. We're having trouble getting rid of those. So they met at a conference of people that had overordered everything? 100%. Really?

Like, if that guy who always imports too many Persian rugs, who has the big sale at the ASB showgrounds had been around, somehow he'd be involved. Yeah, right. Maybe he'd have to drink a Moscow Mule on a Persian rug, but also a vodka importer. Wow. Got a little OTT. Yeah, right. So they all

had this excessive amount of things, so they said the Moscow Mule must of course be served in a copper cup. Yeah, right. And it came about because of people who had things in excess. That's amazing. And then just a bit of brilliant marketing. Yeah. And it looks amazing. And then just a bit of brilliant marketing. Yeah.

And it looks cool. And away they went. They probably put it on Instagram, did they? Back in 18-whenever? Yeah. When was this? What would Instagram been? The newspaper.

Just a black and white fuzzy picture of the paper. Notice board. Or the notice board, yeah. Yeah, pinned up drawing. And then you just ticked it if you liked it with a pen.

I know you'd walk past it and be like like I like that and someone would be like one someone else would go past and be like I'll just write that comment down too yeah yeah yeah

I like that I'll write that down and then someone walks past and they're like interesting and you're like that's a comment it's not a like

interesting and then you walk past someone's like hmm you're like it's a reaction it was kind of a scrolled past. I'll write that emoji.

It would have been hard for feedback. But because when cocktails started really to gain popularity in the 1920s, they all had specific glassware that went with them. The martini glass, of course, if you had a martini in a tumbler, it'd be weird, right? Yeah. Martini glass, everybody was producing them. So when this person had vodka and this person had ginger beer,

of course, they needed somebody with a specific. And because it looked so hardy. Yeah. And like you could pick it up and just, there was no sophisticated delicateness to the, like a martini glass. You pick it up, you've got to be careful. They were like, it's very Russian.

Yeah, right. And that goes with vodka as well. The vodka being the main ingredient in it, so we'll call it the Moscow Mule. So today's fact of the day, you can spit this one out next time you're pouring a Moscow Mule at home. Because we've all got those fake-looking copper cups we got from Kmart that have started to peel away,

and you're like, hold on. This wasn't copper at all. And if you do have copper cups, someone's probably trying to steal them and take them down to the local scrappies to have them mounted down for a few dollars. Yeah. Today's fact of the day is the Moscow Mule was born just because people had too much of things. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Day-day. Benny. She's all up in my grill. Your birthday bubble. Do you have any other famous celebrities on your birthday? From Friends, Joey.

Oh, okay. That's the only one I ever remember. Really? Yeah. July 25th, famous birthdays. Everybody knows my ones. Matt LeBlanc. Okay, yeah.

Imran. Oh, I don't know who that is. The face looks familiar. The Queen was born on this day, so everyone knows to back up off it. They're giving you room. Oh, that Brazilian footballer they called Hulk, remember him? Nah. He was like a football player, like a soccer player, but he was really massive.

Yes, which I did refer to myself as the Queen. I wasn't talking about the queen. Right, okay. Well, Bindi Irwin has celebrated her 21st birthday and she got engaged. Oh. To... Yeah, that is going to make you feel old because we all remember her as a kid when, especially R.A.P. Steve. Oh my God, R.A.P. Steve.

R.A.P. Steve and she was just a... R.A.P. Steve. Wee tot. Teeny tiny thing. It's just a wee thing. Well, I mean makes me feel old every time I see

Bob Irwin the son he goes on Jimmy Fallon all the time with animals yeah and he's like fully like a teenager

and everything now so that always makes me feel old and he's the spitting image of his old man reincarnation yeah he's so excited about animals and Terry

oh Terry didn't she go through the bloody record so is she with Russell Crowe or not? We don't know. Oh, I don't know what happened there. Right. But all dressed in the traditional Australia Zoo brownie colour.

Yeah. Wait, is there an engagement photo and she's in a... Yeah, she's in a safari suit. Oh, come on. The car keys. So he proposed at Australia Zoo. Apparently, yeah, on her birthday. They've been together for six years.

Because he does all the crocodile things as well. Bob, eh? He's all over. Oh, no way. They all work at the zoo together. So this guy that she's engaged to is a professional wakeboarder, and he met her in 2013 during a trip to the zoo. Oh, okay.

Imagine that. You go to Australia Zoo. You get a little bit of eye contact with B.I. Yeah. And then six years later, you're engaged to her. Yeah, right. Amazing. And then other unrelated Steve

Irwin news, Funko Pop, you know, they make the little caricature plastic statues. I've got a few of them. I kind of like mini collect them. There's a Steve Irwin one coming out. Is there? Yeah. They're doing a Steve Irwin one.

How awesome would that be? There's two of them. There's one where he's holding a crocodile. That'll be the one everybody wants. Yeah. And there's another one where he's holding a sea turtle. Yeah. Oh, I want a turtle one.

Where you say you collect them, where does your wife let you put these dolls? They're in the, well, this is the issue. They're in like the kid's room, but I don't like them playing with them. Because remember he was searching for ages. You've got one that represents each member of your family. The family, yeah.

But then my one, which was a guy off Sons of Anarchy who just wore a beanie and a beard, but that's apparently all it takes to look like me. The dog chewed him up the other day. I was bloody livid. I'm waiting on an Obi-Wan Kenobi one. It looks like me Like on the weekend

Because he's got a hoodie on And well a hood on And he's got a beard And he just looks Like he's had a guts full That's you That's me Right

I'm waiting on that one to be posted Flesh fawner Megan The podcast ZM And it's Megan's birthday We wrote her a jingle For her cafe Beaufort and Co

I have a cafe guys Yeah Yeah That was our gift to her, and we promised three national spot plays on the breakfast show this morning. Which were thousands. I mean, the jingle alone,

to get a jingle made, we worked out about $10,000. Good Lord. Just for that kind of creativity and that passion. Your birthday is costing the company a lot of money, and the man in charge of making sure that the company doesn't spend too much money, the CEO, Bogsy's in.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, Bogsy. Now, we were going to play Megan's ad one more time, Bogsy. Now, I reckon in the last 10 seconds I've heard Beauford & Co about 10 times. What's going on here? I'm a small business. We love to support small business.

Thanks. But we'd like them to pay as well, don't we? Absolutely. We support us, we support them It's a back scratch situation Is this the last time it's going to be played? Well, we only promised three players, Boggs And we've had two

Okay, so if there's a number four I'll be sending a bill How much would the bill be? Well, you said it's 10 grand Well, just to make the jingle That's not even counting what we charge for advertising Good Lord. Are you getting worried now, Megan?

Yeah. Is this all the profits gone? I think you should give Bogsy a free breakfast for his family. How many in your family? 22. You'd be surprised how many people are family when there's a free breakfast. She won't even give us a discount. You can have a free coffee, Bogsy.

You're in my hood, I think. Oh, I take it back. I said it because I didn't think you'd actually pop out that way. But wait, she's in your hood and you've not been yet, Bogsy,

that's not. What was it called? Many Hands, mate, Many Hands. We've all got a... Beauford and Co. Okay.

Well, I tell you what, Bogsy, we'll play you the ad and you... It'll tell you everything you need to know. It'll tell you everything.

All right, here we go. Third and last time. Hey you! Yeah, you over there! Hey! Do you like eggs and donerty treats, bacon and cakes and yummy sweets? Of course you do!

Yeah! And do you like coffee and mushrooms and chai and slices of chicken and yummy chai? Yummy yum yum oh! Well then for you it's Beaufort & Co. It's more than a cafe, it's the place to go. It's the best cafe. And all this weekend it's free coffee.

Pending approval by the owner, she can be a bit of a bitch. Full-blown bitch. Valko to guys on board. Want to know where it is? Google it. I don't know the address. Why would I? Buffet & Co.

It's B to the E to the A-U-S to the O-R-T and the Co. Buffet & Co. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Buffet & Co. And again, we'll just point out that that coffee offer wasn't extended by the owner. No. Because he called me a bitch. So there won't be free coffee at the cafe.

Well, it was a chicken and egg situation, really. Were you a bitch before? Did he call you a bitch? Or did you become one because we called you a bitch? It's a great mystery. No one will ever know. What did you think, Bogsy? Do they have a future in checklist?

I reckon that's the best ad they've ever made. So they have now set the bar. Yeah, it was the only ad we've ever made, isn't it? It's going to be downhill from here. It's all downhill from here. All right, thank you for coming in, Bogsy. That won't happen again. Happy birthday.
