ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Thank you, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Happy Wednesday, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Did you hear about this school on the West Coast that just completely shut because all the kids were sick? Every single kid. Oh, no, no. There was 66. A third of their students have got the same

high fever, headache, vomiting situation. Right. And they're like, okay, everybody else, shut it down. Well, they don't want the rest of the kids to get sick. Crazy, though. How many kids in this school? 180. Oh, yeah, right.

And 66 of them. Good Lord. Have got vomiting, high fever. They think it might be a type of influenza. Ugh. Mmm. So isolate. Blow the artists past.

Cut them off. Cut them off. Isolate them. It's important. This could be the zombie thing. I don't want to. Right. Starts in what? Westport. Muck around. Yeah, well,ay them. It's important. This could be the zombie thing. I don't want to... Right, it starts in what?

Westport. Muck around. Yeah, well, you know, it could. Very wet down there. Something might have evolved. Who knows? Do they have bats down there? Do they?

Do they have bats? Yeah. Oh, they're always to blame, aren't they? Yeah, because I just think Contagion wasn't that started with a bat and a pig. A bat and a pig? Yeah. Mmm.

Weird couple, but you can't help who you fall in love with. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for stories that are found online. Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, the shop that won't last long. Headline two, man caught with souvenir. And headline three, when I found this headline,

it was pretty new news, but it's gone everywhere overnight. Gold Coast theme park ride flies. Well, we know the theme park one. So she's on a roller coaster and one of those yuck, yuck birds. What are they called? Trash from the mangoes. Ibis. Ibis hotel birds.

Yeah, the Ibis. Well, no, but what do they call it in the story? A pen chicken or something. Oh, yeah, because they do look a bit like chickens, eh? A trash chicken. A bin chicken. A bin chicken. Yeah.

They're like wide and they've got long black beaks. Oh, those things. And this happened on the hypercoaster at Movie World, which is amazing. It's incredible. Why was it on the hypercoaster? It's on the hypercoaster. That thing moves.

But I remember when I took some winners over earlier in the year for that segment we did, the first time someone had been on a roller coaster. They're just hanging around all in on the ground around the hypercoaster. And I was thinking they're going to take someone out one day. They ate everybody's trash. They look like creepy vultures. Yeah, they're horrible looking things. But the best thing about the hypercoaster is every seat has a camera.

So when you finish a ride, you can get high-definition footage of the time and Ibis smashed you in the face. Exactly. Right. All right, so it's story one or two. The shop that won't last long or man-caught with souvenir? Shop that won't last long? What's it made out of, ice?

Is it a nice shop? Well, it won't last long because it's winter here at the moment and you would never guess. Very warm. Yeah. Giving away everything. I'm not telling you. If you want it.

Yeah, I want that one. You want that one. Yes, sir. We go now to Canada. And a kiosk is open at the Halifax Airport. This is in Canada. And it doesn't have any staff on site. I'm showing you a picture of the kiosk.

Just like you'd see it in the airport, a little stand, lots of food. Oh, it's like a little cafe. Yep, lots of cafe food, drinks in the fridge, muffins on the different slices. Everything there, chips, lollies, all of that kind of stuff. There are no staff. And the entrepreneurs who've set this stall up at the airport at Halifax

are banking on the honesty of their customers. But it's Canada. They might. They're quite an honest country, aren't they? Yes. But? But tourists. It's just started. It's just started. It's just started.

So there won't be anyone there waiting to take cash or to process your payment. Customers are trusted to take what they want and pay using the tablet and card reader or by dropping cash into a mailbox. They say they have taken a leap of faith. And at this stage, so far, so good. But it's only just open. So the game could change. Yeah, I'm going to actually do a Google News alert on this, I think.

Because we'll need a follow-up when it closes in like a month. Because those restaurants, even in New Zealand, where they're like, come in, pay what you want. They've done them in Australia. They just don't last, do they? Because people are frugal. Yeah, yeah, they're natural. Yeah. Oh, that was a lovely lunch.

Here's $5. Yeah. You're just taking these people for a ride. I asked for extra bacon. Here's $2. Yeah. For the whole meal. So it still lists prices of things, right? Yeah, so it has the price. You go to the tablet, like your cafe, when you're doing an order, you punch it into the tablet.

Right. Then you swipe your card. They say that so far, since it's opened on July 10, so it's been open 20 odd days, they have had zero theft and 100% honesty. Wow. They've even had little thank you notes put into the money letterbox. Just like, this is a great idea. So I told you this is Canada.

Yeah, they're too nice, aren't they? Very nice. Very nice people. Very honest. I would do it because that seems like a trap. I feel like there would be cameras or something, you know? Yeah, well it doesn't say in the story if there are cameras.

And I wouldn't want to be the one that ruins that. Yeah. You know? Weird. But I'm sure someone will. Well, I'm going to keep a Google News alert on this because, you know, we all want it to fail, don't we?

No, I want it to succeed. I want to know that humans aren't awful. There's enough failure. If it does, it'll be an American. That ruins it. That ruins it for everybody. They're neighbours. They're does, it'll be an American. That ruins it. That ruins it for everybody. They're neighbours. They're rough neighbours.

They're rough neighbours, exactly. I'm going to just bring you a light update on the gizmo situation. This was the chi-hoo-hoo-oh that was kidnapped. Goal-napped? Dog-napped? Wait, it's dog-napped because you name it after what was taken. If someone's kidnapped, it's the kid that was kidnapped. Goal napped? Dog napped? Wait, it's dog napped because you name it after what was taken out. Like if somebody's kidnapped, it's the kid that was napped. Yeah.

It's not like adult napped. The dog napped. Yeah. The dog napped. Chihuahua. Yeah. The culprit, a seagull. A big seagull.

Not Steven Seagal. Just a seagull. The foot that we talked about on the show yesterday The leg Yeah they just found a leg on a rooftop right That had been identified as a mammals leg And it looked hairy So it's not Gizmo's leg They believe it's a rabbit

A pet rabbit Has also They would stock his little foot for a rabbit foot I know but that means somebody's rabbit's gone But that also means seagulls are picking up rabbits. That's nuts too. And also somebody's been watching these seagulls, the specific seagulls on the roof that they'd colonised.

Yeah. And apparently just absolutely rocked a pigeon and killed it. Like walked up to a pigeon and was just like, could crack and put its beak it's skull And the pigeon died What is wrong with these seagulls? Super aggressive Super territorial Are they on drugs or something?

Well that's The other thing is There's a British politician That wants to Give seagulls contraception So they stop breeding Because apparently Just prolific numbers

How are you meant to Give them the pill Every morning? Yeah Set a reminder on their phone No they just said prolific numbers. Who are you meant to give them the pill every morning? Yeah. I'll set a reminder on their phone. No, they just said they'll scatter it up where they're sitting. Oh, right.

Okay. What does a seagull live for? Serious question because there was those meth gators. Are they like, they're seriously aggressive. Are they getting drugs or something, getting meth? You've raised a very good point. Meth seagulls. That's right. They could be eating little fish that have been in the water.

Oh, yeah. And the little fish have been in the meth-y water because of the poos and everything. Could legit be the case. And then they're getting a bit aggro because of the little fish. But then if they're eating little fish, why do they need to eat a Chihuahua? They just rage. Well, they've got a taste for it. Right, and they're raging.

They're just raging and they've been awake for like eight days. So they're just starting to bite off more than they can chew. So Gizmo could still be alive. No, I'm not.

I mean, I don't like his chances, but it wasn't his food. Yeah, right. So the search continues. The search continues. And we're bringing you updates. I've actually set up a Google News alert for Gizmo.

In fact, if we were One News, we'd send our European correspondent. Who's our European correspondent at the moment? We don't have one. Jessica Much? No, I think you meant Al. You meant One Newsers. We can tap into that, mate. Oh, because we're taxpayers. I've got a connection.

I've got a connection. I'll run it upstairs. One News is? Oh, well, we can tap into that, mate. Oh, because we're taxpayers. I've got a connection. No, I've got a connection. Oh, right, okay. I'll run it upstairs. One News, European. Because isn't Daniel Fattah going to do it? He's going to do it. Yeah, but I... Who was that?

It's the lady. We talked to her. Joy Reid. Joy Reid. No, but she's coming back and Daniel's going in. Yeah, well, that's how Daniel's tagging in. Daniel's tapping in. Tapping in or tagging in?

Tapping in. He's tapping in. He's tapping into the ring. Tag me. It's tag teamin' In. It's Tappin' Into the Ring. Tag me. It's Tag Team Wrestling. Yeah. Oh, I don't know. You're thinking of Tappin' On the Bus.

Yeah. Tappin' On. Or Tappin' Right on the Skull of a Pigeon if you're a seagull. They should send him to this town. Well, let's tell him before he goes because he's due to go over. Yeah, don't worry about Boris Johnson. Because he's about to be knee deep in Brexit. Yeah, he wants some light news.

Is that light? It's not light. Matthew Se's about to be knee deep in Brexit. Yeah, he wants some light news. Is that light? It's not light. Methy seagulls. It's lighter than Brexit. Is it? Well, I don't know. Maybe Brexit's causing these Methy seagulls. Maybe.

Maybe they're upset that they weren't listened to. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Christchurch man, a 37-year-old, has stolen 50 lime scooters. So the total of that comes to $37,500 between January and May this year. No word why. He could face a year in jail. He's been given name suppression.

He has to go back to court on August the 15th. Why has he been given name suppression? Is he famous? Is he like a famous rugby player? Something. Maybe. Maybe he's got a promising future playing for Inter Nanny and it would really harm his chances

of going overseas to play rugby. Because I saw the story and the fact that there is, you know what they teach you in broadcasting and journalism is all the fact, you know, the W's. Where, why, how, who, when, when, something. Winston Peters. Yeah, those are all the W's.

The why is missing. Why did he steal 50 scooters? Like, what was the end game here? It's bugging me. I need to know. Because you can't sell them. did he steal 50 scooters? Like, what was the end game here? It's bugging me. I need to know. Because you can't sell them unless he's like taking off all the line

branding and... That's what I was wondering last time I was on one and I should have been concentrating but I was driving down the road so I was pretty sad. How hard it would be to steal one and disconnect all your... Because they've obviously got the GPS locators in

them and that's battery powered, but if you disconnect the battery, does that still have enough gas to, like, is there an internal battery that can tell Lime whereabouts it is for, excuse me, for a while? I was fighting a burp. I was fighting a burp that whole time. I did well on that. Yeah, it beat me.

That's the thing, they've all got GPS units in them. Yeah. And then I've, it beat me. That's the thing. They've all got GPS units in them. Yeah. And then someone passed me on Queen Street the other day. And you know that sound it makes when you're trying to find the line? Like the... Yeah. Ring, ring.

Ring, ring. Ring, ring. I heard that and it just scooted past me. And this guy had obviously just taken off on a line without paying. How? He was just pushing it with his foot. I thought the wheel locked. I thought they did too, but it kept just beeping.

I don't know if someone was pinging its location, but then he just got off it and walked over the road. Weird. So I don't know. I think the alarm goes off if you move it without activating it. Right. So I don't know how he was getting away with it. He must have been chucking them in a car and driving off.

At that number, he must have. But even then, surely you'd have to disconnect some sensors. But that would be the how to me of journalism. How did he steal them? Yeah. But also, having looked at buying an e-scooter all online, I looked up who makes the Lime scooters, and I think it's Segway,

but they don't sell an exact scooter that looks like a lime scooter because I love the lime scooter. Handlebars are really big. It's quite robustly built, isn't it? And you can't buy one that exactly looks like a lime.

It's just impossible. Right. So it would be very obvious even if they'd taken the branding off that he was selling a lime. Exactly. Even if he spray painted it

or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. And then I don't understand how he's got a lime. Exactly. Even if he spray painted it or whatever. Yeah, I don't know. And then I don't understand how he's got name suppression. Yeah. It's very fishy. Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but we'll stay tuned. Because the other thing I thought was maybe he was just some old mate who's like, oh, I'm sick of these bloody scooters everywhere.

Oh, so he was just taking them. I'm going to steal them. Yeah, that's the only kind of logical thing I could think. But he's 37. Yeah, but maybe he's just an old soul, you know. Right. Just sick of scooters haphazardly parked all over the streets. Like he'd throw a lime in the avon,

then go home for a ginger nut and a cup of tea. Yeah, exactly, yeah. An old soul. Well, we'll keep you updated with this story. From the ZM Think Tank, this is The Top Six. Hello there. Hello. BYOD, bring your own dog.

A dog-friendly movie session is going to be the first of its kind in New Zealand. So there is a nice charity aspect to it. All of the money goes to the SPCA. Oh, okay, that's nice. of the money goes to the SPCA. Oh, okay. That's nice. That's cute. So the cinema's got 211 seats. 99 have been sold at time of publishing of the story.

It's for a viewing of Secret Life of Pets 2. Oh, okay. Cute. And you can take your dog and you'll watch a movie and stuff. But I don't think you take your dog. It's just a pain in the ass. You've got to hold the dog the whole time? No, dogs sit just because you're...

No, they don't sit the whole time. Your dog doesn't sit. It runs around and it takes a dump on the floor. It's been at work twice. It's shit on the floor twice. I was waiting for you to say that. It's because he comes in early and it's before his poo time. I don't want to go to the movies after one of these screenings

and it smells like dogs. Yeah, that's the other thing. Don't go then. Is there a wash your dog rule beforehand? You two are being grinchers about it. Don't go. I'm not going to go. But it is great for charity.

Oh, there you go. You found a silver lining. Good on you. Put an SPCA on there. That's always good. But the top six other pets that could be getting their own movie sessions next. Okay. Because that's the thing.

You watch everybody cry foul that they didn't get to take their other pet. Okay. Number six, speaking of crying foul, rescue chickens. And you just toss your popcorn on the ground for them to scratch around at. Oh, my God. Imagine that. In fact, that's what events in Hoyt should do after the movies is release the chickens

and they can be like, You're worried about dogs shitting on the ground Oh yeah, chickens shit everywhere. But they'll hoover up that popcorn. I don't know how a chicken would go with it. Put a little chicken nappy on. Oh my god. Come on, chicken nappies. Get them a little event stuff.

Polo. That'd be a way laugh. How would a chicken nappies. Get them a little event stuff. Polo. That'd be a way laugh. How would a chicken go with a Malteser? That'd be too big. It would, like, tack at it, and it would, like, roll around the floor. It'd be like. We'll try and break it, but you'd definitely end up seeing one with, like, a Malteser stuck in its neck. Do you know?

Chicken down. Chicken down. Chicken down. You know, speaking of sending in the chickens to clean up the mess, somebody in Canada sent me this video

of this like massive herd of goats and it's how the city deals with like roadsides. These trained goats, they take them to the roadside and this guy just sits there and then the goats

like eat all the grass off the roadside and then he's like, right, next part, and they move down the road a little bit. How many goats? Like 200. Oh, I was going to say they'll get well fat. Or just get an insane amount of goats. Or get one guy with a weed eater.

What they're saying is people like it, it's visually appealing and better for the environment or something, but I don't know. And the goats are like, it's feeding them. Yeah, true, okay. And they'll never run out of weeds. That's just a little side goat story. Number five on the list of the top six types of pets

that will be getting their own movie sessions next. Hamsters. But they have to stay inside the cage because otherwise they'll be gone and they'll be living inside, like Secret Life of Pets, with the hamster living inside the air conditioning vents. Yeah. He'll be gone and then the next people will come in to watch a movie and

they'll be sitting there and they could get Richard Gere'd, couldn't they? Although that was a gerbil or just a vicious rumour. I think it was the latter. Richard Gere cannot live down. Number four on the list of the top six types of pets that'll be getting their own movie sessions

next. Fish. They'll need to be taken in a transportable plastic bag. Yeah. But, of course, no single-use plastic bags anymore, but they were always hard to see through. You'd be better to go for a nice, like, zip-slide bag. Yeah. Because they're more like a window than a frosted window.

What if you put your fish down on the seat and something pops it? Someone sits it. I guess you could pour it into your frozen Coke cup pretty quickly, but then you'd have to remember not to drink from that anymore. Number three on the list of the top six types of pets that'll be getting their own movie sessions. There's dangerous dog breeds in at number three. If someone's rustling their popcorn too much,

just send in your doggo Argentina to sort them out, where they'll come face to face with their pit bull massive cross. And then I guess they could pause the movie while those battle to the death. Yeah, sure. Just keep your kids out of the way. Number two on the list of the top six types of pets that'll be getting their own movie sessions next, cats. The cat sessions are basically where the cats will all scratch at the door

to be let out of the cinema. And then the second they get let out, they start scratching to be let back in and ruin the entire viewing experience with their a-hole selfish attitude. Yeah, that's cats. That's cats. That's cats. That's cats. Yeah.

Anything. You're like, oh, Christ. There's a cat door over there. Would you go and find the bloody cat door? And number one on the list of the top six types of pets that will be in their own movie sessions. Next, rats. You take them in. And they're cute.

This is pretty cute. They even hand out little rat-sized popcorn. But it's laced with poison. So now your rat's dead. See you later, rats. Terrible pets. Don't have rats as pets. They're a pest.

Same could be said for cats. Excuse me. Basically anything that can harm a native bird. You know, they're at the top of my list. At the top of my list. At the top of my list. You have two cats. Yeah, but so far... And native birds around you.

Yeah, but so far the native birds have really worked on their agility. And rat, they're catching rats. Oh, so that's all right then. What I'm all about. That is today's Top 6. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Huge fan here at the show of the healing power of crystals. You couldn't even get through the sentence, could you, without laughing?

I tried. Oh, my God, how I tried. If you're into crystals, just count to 10. If you're into crystals because they look pretty, that's absolutely fine because I'll give you that because some of them are quite pretty. Yes. Just let people believe in what they want to believe in. Just ignore these.

They're about to be real facetious. No, we're not being facetious. We're being factual. Yes. Is what we're being. Factual. I like to deal in fact. Now, if you like these things because they look pretty,

I've got absolutely no problem with that. If you bought that because somebody told you this is pretty and it emits an orangey glow and you're like, that's what I need, that's fine. But if you bought that because somebody told you this is pretty and it emits an orangey glow and you're like that's what I need, that's fine. But if you bought it because somebody told you it emits what is it? Negative ions and can heal you

then that's a lie and an unsubstantiated claim and they've conned you effectively. You know what I mean? But can I just interject here? Please. Your honour. Yep.

Does your wife not have a drink bottle with a crystal inserted into it? Her mother bought her a drink bottle with a crystal in it, but she's of no... She just thinks it looks pretty. Right. That's what she tells you.

Well, she doesn't believe it's doing anything. No, those drink bottles just look cute. Yeah. Is that supposed to do something to the water or something? But does her mum believe that it's going to heal something? Well, her mother is a registered nurse. She was a nurse. I don't think she believes that it's anything other than a pretty drink bottle as well.

Okay, right. And I would absolutely rip her to shreds if she said anything else. Maybe she does and she's just not telling you. She's scared to bring it up in front of me. You know what I've found out lately? What? Sometimes people are scared to bring up their beliefs in front of me. Yeah, and how does that make you feel?

Who? What? You're judgy. What? Everyone just knows that you're judgy pants. Me what? Whenever anyone brings up something in front of you, I just shake my head and go, don't do it.

Don't do it. Sometimes I think I'm being recorded, like it's just someone's trying to get a rise out of me by saying something silly about crystals and stuff. But anyway, you may have had targeted advertising on Facebook for crystals, and one particular place in Napier has been in trouble with the Advertising Standards Authority over four different Facebook posts. The Advertising Standards Authority over four different Facebook

posts. The Advertising Standards Authority makes sure nothing's being advertised with unsubstantiated God, I need it. I need a clarity crystal. Unsubstantiated. And I need my pronunciation crystal. Yeah. I've got to charge them in the buck for a moon.

So unsubstantiated claims, this is what the Advertising Standards Authority stops happening. Crystal. Yeah. I forgot to charge them in the buck for moon. So unsubstantiated claims. This is what the Advertising Standards Authority stops happening. Yeah. So people aren't lying in ads so that you'd buy it for a specific purpose and then that doesn't help and you've been ripped off. Their job is to make sure advertising

fits within these guidelines. So there was four ads. Himalayan Salt Lamp, an amethyst crystal, a quatrum quattro crystal, and a Harmony Healing handmade manuka goat's milk herbal soap. Did you make that last one up? No, that's Harmony Healing handmade manuka goat's milk herbal soap. So I don't know what's happening there.

If the goat has been eating only manuka, and its milk has then been handmade into soap with herbs. And the brand is Harmony Healing, I think, because Harmony Healing's in capital, so I assume that's the brand of it. For the Himalayan salt lamp, the ad claimed that the product emits negative ions, making you happier and healthier, and aids in improving mood, reducing stress, and helping anxiety.

Wow, that's a big claim. Bold claim. Especially if you're suffering from these things and you're looking for... Does it say helps with or like could... Yeah, because you should be vague about that. If you're selling a salt lame, you should say something like... Could aid in...

Could. Symptoms. Could, but not substantiated. Correct. The amethyst crystal, it claimed it was to aid in overcoming addictions and would help, which is nuts. Let's take that. Addiction is a very, very serious issue.

Or you talk to anyone who's got a family member or has been addicted to meth. Yeah. Or is still. And what do you, serious question, just being in the crystal's presence or do you hold it or like rub it on your skin or like?

Um, it's all bullshit, mate. Yeah, but no, I was trying to like ask what they, what the directions are.

It's the purpley one. Well, that's the thing, it's vague, isn't it? So it said it would also help with insomnia and protection

against nightmares. It would strengthen the immune system and activate DNA healing. Oh my god. Like, if this was possible, there'd be a big song and dance, wouldn't there? Yeah. We'd all have it. We'd all have it, exactly.

Handmade manuka goats healing that soap I talked about before. That also got a complaint because the post claimed the product healed cold sores and acne. Which there is absolutely no proof of it doing either. Yeah, right. The soap could also deter head lice.

So you rub it on your kid and then they go to school and the head lice are like, oh, hold on. That kid's got Manuka goat's milk soap on his head. That's the Healing Harmony soap. No, I'm slightly deterred. And the crystal could heal grief in the heart. Oh, dear. Now, the person who is selling these and had put the ads on said,

I've never told my customers that the products would heal them. I used excerpts from books that had claimed that. But then in the fact that you're using those excerpts to sell the product, you are in a way. Yeah. But then I kind of feel sorry for this. I feel like they've been singled out because everybody's selling crystals online. That's what I was thinking.

They're not the only person that's doing this. Saying that, yeah. These are the ones that had been complained about on Facebook. Right. Right, okay. So someone had complained, but someone had seen this and complained specifically about it. So if there's other ones that people complain about, they'll also be looked into. Right. Right, okay. So someone had complained, but someone had seen this and complained specifically about it. So if there's other ones

that people complain about, they'll also be looked into. Right, but then come on, who's also buying that believing? Obviously they were, right? Like, I don't know. Megan, anything to add now? Well, no, I think people like,

I don't think they're going to believe that they'll heal them overnight, but I think people believe that there's an element to it that if they hang element to it, that if they hang on to them for a while, maybe it could help. Well, they look pretty.

They certainly do look pretty. Yeah, they look pretty. And that's all. And that's all. Okay. Okay. That's fine. You're going to get some complaints today. Because they look pretty.

That's absolutely fine. I think salt lam lamps are quite pretty. But I don't care if people believe that. That's cool. Like, they can do whatever they want in this world. It's not a burden. Somebody else's money under false pretenses. No, but they don't think that it's going to act done, healed overnight.

They just think it might help. And they look pretty. And they look pretty. That's... Yeah, if that's all they're into and believing on the internet, it's probably at the low end of things. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, but then next week they're selling Arbonne, so...

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's 20 questions. Okay, so $2,000 is up for grabs. 20 questions to figure out what our mystery object is. These are the questions. These are the questions so far. Is it a living thing? No, it's not.

Is it found in a house? No, it is not. Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor? No. Is it something you would wear? No. Is it something you would wear? No.

Is it outside? Yes. Is it outside around your house? Yes. It could be. Would you use it on your house? No. Is it bright orange?

No. Can it be made out of wood? No. It can't be. So. Ten questions left. Indeed. Good morning. No. It can't be. So... 10 questions left. And Dee, good morning.

Hi. You have the 10th yes-no question. Hey. Um... Can you hang something on it? Yes. Is it a washing line? Can you hang something on it? Yes.

Is it a washing line? Is it a washing line? No, it's not a washing line. Oh, damn. Okay. Literally breath being held. Ava, you've eliminated something. Yes. Narrowed the field a little. I think it's hard. I think we've gone too, I think personally,

maybe we've gone too hard after the toothbrush. Yeah. Yeah, because the toothbrush went after three days and we were like, we've got to make this harder. I don't know. We only need one decent question to really narrow it down, I think. We just need that one question. Well.

After eight o'clock, we'll take two. Two guesses, and if you want to keep up with the questions and the wrong guesses, ZM, or you can go to our Instagram, FEMZM. We've got a story highlight keeping you up to date there. You can write it all down.

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. I saw this, someone tagged Manor, and then my cousin also, who lives in this area in Melbourne, tagged Manor, saying, think you'll like this. Had they seen it?

Not in person, they'd only seen the post on the community page. Oh, really? So it was like a community notice, like your local Facebook page. Yeah, right. Someone said, who's this Chris fella? Because all over Frankston, which is in Victoria in Australia, is the graffiti, and it all reads the same thing. Chris, you need to talk to me.

This is all in text. That's how my dad would send a text. It's like, you need to talk to me. This is all, and text, that's how my dad would send a text. It's like you is just the letter you. Chris, you need to talk to me before baby is born or don't bother after. Now the first one is written on one of those public barbecues that you put a little bit of money in and you click the button and then

it gives you a little bit of burn time for your sausage. There was one of these we just saw one of these in a park in a little bit of burn time yeah for your sausages there was one of these we just saw one of these in a park in a new part of Auckland Hobsonville I'll say whereabouts it was Hobsonville

and and he said what's this I said it's a barbecue you gotta put in money and push the button she pushed the button and it lit it's like a free one but then I had to stand by this barbecue

and wait for it to run out and then like pour water all over it to make sure some kid didn't put their hand on it which is pretty nuts like you put the kid didn't put their hand on it. Which is pretty nuts. Like you put them, you wouldn't accidentally turn it on if it cost you, would you? No. Even if it was just like a dollar.

Yeah, that's weird. You wouldn't be able to accidentally turn it on, but it was right beside a playground. Like kids could walk past and just be like, what's this red attractive button? To be honest, I didn't know you had to pay for them. I thought that. You normally put in like two bucks and it lasts like 20 minutes or however long. Yeah, you're going to have to cook some snacks. Oh, right. Anyway, by the by, I'm just saying be bloody careful because sometimes they do just turn

on and then you've got to hang around to wait for it to stop, then pour water over it. I can't believe there's a free barbecue. That's outrageous. I won't last long. So this is also written exactly the same message in front of another public barbecue. Chris, you need to talk to me before baby is born. Not the baby or our baby, just baby.

Yeah. What really bothers me when people just say baby. Baby. Chris, you need to talk to me before baby is born. Or don't bother after. It's then written on a wall. It's written quite large inside a public toilet, a male's public toilet.

When you say written, like spray paint? Yeah, spray painted purple and it's always purple. It's a dark. It's actually quite a cool colour. I don't think I've seen spray paint like a really dark purple before. That's going to get big to you and you're going to get done for like destruction of property or something. Yeah. But also surely you know how to contact this guy.

Oh yeah, but he's not replying or answering the phone calls, I guess we can assume. Change his phone number. Got someone pregnant, change his phone number. He's like a great guy. Oh, we know people that have done that. We do. Right in pieces of it.

So, yeah, she's just, I assume she has just gone out there. I mean, of course, right, because she's pregnant. I'm just thinking someone didn't do it on her behalf. I was thinking the woman who is pregnant went around and sort of publicly broadcast the fact that, Chris, you need to talk to her before the baby is born or don't bother after. Yeah, that's pretty crazy.

So she probably needs some help or needs to talk to him. Do you reckon? Obviously. Do you reckon she wants to? Obviously. Do Yeah. Or needs to talk to him. Do you reckon? Obviously. Do you reckon she wants to? Do you reckon she wants to talk to him? I'd say it sounds like it. Oh, interesting take on the whole thing. Wouldn't it be horrible to find out you're pregnant and then like he's out of the picture?

Oh, 100%. Yeah. Terrible. I was wondering on the back of this, this morning, to take some calls. I know at $100.00 at M. Or you can text 9696. How did either you try to get someone's attention

or how did they try to get your attention? Maybe you stopped taking the phone calls. Or maybe they stopped taking your phone calls. How did you get their attention? Right. Maybe it was a public display like this. Yeah, did you have to go an old-fashioned way? Yeah.

Can it be for a positive reason? Oh, of course. Like if you wanted to get their attention for, because, I don't know, you're interested, rather than you're trying to chase them down because you're pregnant. Yeah. No, it could be any way, sort of a public.

Maybe someone owes you money, and they're ignoring you, and you have to get their attention somehow. There was that fence in Rangariri on the way to Hamilton for years. That's right.

They said, so and so, you owe us $12,000. That's a lot of money. On the side of the fence. And the other day I was driving home past the Auckland

Central Police Station and there was a man sitting outside. This was annoying because he was sitting on the side of the road and he had a mask on. Like one of those

I'm sick, I don't want to get you sick dentist's masks. Yeah. And he was holding a little sign. And I was like, I need to know

what his sign says because he's outside the police station. He's got the mask on. Is it like chemtrail related? Yeah. And I went really slow and I actually got into

the lane close to him and I went really slow and I squinted and it said, police equal liars. And I was like, get a bigger sign. I had to switch three lanes for that. And to be honest, I'm disappointed.

I'm disappointed. All you're saying is that they lied and you're not even giving the details on what they lied about. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And it's got nothing to do with the mask. I expected the mask to be linked.

Yeah, like, yeah. No, mate. No, mate. Okay. All right. 0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696 to text. So text or call now.

We want to hear your stories. How did someone try to get your attention in public? Or how did you try to get someone's attention? So we want to know how you've got someone's attention. Yeah.

Whether or not it's because they've stopped talking to you or you want them to talk to you. Or like this guy in Melbourne, Chris. Chris got somebody pregnant and she has spray painted all over Frankston in Victoria in Australia that she wants to talk to him. Well, the whole world now is looking for Chris. So job done.

It's work. Yeah. Although you probably end up going to court for vandalism. Vandalism. Yeah. Yeah. And also that baby's probably inhaled a bit of paint fume from those spray cans too.

Oh. Oh, yeah, true. Think about the baby. In utero. Yeah. In utero. So we want to know how publicly someone has grabbed your attention. Somebody said a mate of mine was owed $10 from another mate.

It got to the point, as a joke, he ended up paying for one of those signs to be towed behind a plane. Like those cost hundreds of dollars. Yeah. Flew it around the Waikato for a few hours saying he still needed to pay. Still hasn't. But it's the principle of the matter, isn't it, really? Robin, how did somebody get your attention? Oh, I was the one that got his attention.

So I was always that kid that sung songs to Talonquist just because I loved attention. And it was Why Not by Hilary Duff, banger. And I was like, you know what, I'm just going to go for it. And so at the end, they were like, and Chris was like, oh, so why did you sing this song? And I was like, oh, I'm actually going to dedicate it to this green-eyed kid that I've crashed on called Clinton.

Yes! That is so brave. Yes, girl. I know. I'm insane is probably the word that I would use. That's fine. And then everyone's like, oh, because everyone knows exactly who he was. Because everyone knows who I am because I'm so loud.

And then, yeah, so it didn't work at all. Like, not even a little bit. But, yeah, that's fine. Oh, you didn't even get a date out of it. Absolutely not. Oh, could you give us a bit of the Hilary Duff song now? Like just the chorus? Why not take a crazy chance?

Why not do a silly dance? It's not really a love song. That's good. No, no, but it's Clinton should have taken a chance on you. And then you took a chance on Clinton. Take a chance on me, mate. We could be great. He missed out, babe.

What's Clinton doing now? Have you, like, Facebooked him or anything? Oh, he's, like, really good mates and other mates. So, like, no, he's around. But, actually, I think he's, like, a grass keeper for the cricket. I don't know. A grass keeper. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, like a lawn. A groundsman. It's not just, like, groundsman. Like, it's not an important groundsman. But, you know. Yeah, right. Okay. Oh, well, it's still a chance.

No, he missed out. I bet that green grass brings out his green eyes, guys. Bet he's still got it. Thanks, Robyn. Brina, you had to get somebody's attention? Yeah, my auntie, she cleans the windows on skyscrapers. Okay. Oh, my God.

Yeah, yeah, it's pretty full on. But she lives in Dunedin, and when my uncle was driving to work one day, she sort of drove past. Wait a minute, she cleans windows on skyscrapers, and she moved to Dunedin. She's cut herself out of a lot of work. It's like, you know what? I'm moving somewhere with a seven-story building, and that's it.

We were all thinking it. I was thinking Auckland. I was just thinking there's so many to do. Wellington's got a few. No, not me, mate. I'm moving to Dunedin. Sorry, sorry, carry on. Carry on.

I don't know how tall the tallest building is down there, but I think it's about 20 stories or so. I'd say 10, Max. Would it be 10? 10. Tallest building? I'll Google it. We'll go with 10.

That works. And she got a big sign printed up that said, will you marry me, Gavin Jackson, and hung it from the side of the building, and she was hanging next to it, and so when my uncle was driving to work, that was how she got his attention. Wow, and did he

yell yes? Yeah, it was very awkward on the news. He's not very a public person, so it was hilarious. Oh, yes. Yeah, it was very awkward on the news. He's not very a public person, so. It was on the news. Oh, brilliant. Excellent. You found the Thomas. John Wycliffe House at 265 Princess Street.

Is how many stories? Are you literally counting? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. And that's been generous because I gave the bottom one two because it's quite a thick bit. That should be one. Store it. That should be one.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Eight. Okay, so eight. We're thinking eight, Brina, just for the record. Okay, that's good to know. Excellent. Eight. It looks eight.

Maybe you just let you see me retiring. The Otago Business School is the second. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So would have thought they would have put another one on. Just to be equal. If you've just joined us, Vaughan counts building floors. And a new segment called, What's the tallest building in your city?

University College North Tower. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven, two. That's seven as well. Interesting. Interesting. So glad I know that now. Interesting.

the current jackpot last night the 2019 pie awards did you look up the actual name nah there's a bigger name right

the the sponsor let's give them some credit the New Zealand bakels bakels New Zealand

supreme pie awards right for 2019 bakels New Zealand supreme pie awards right we're sitting along who are the bakels Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards. Right. For 2019. Bakels New Zealand Supreme Pie Awards. Right. We're sitting along our senior... Who are the Bakels? Bakels, I've just learnt...

Should I call them the mafia? No. They supply all the flour. Oh. They make all the flour. They're the ones. Yeah. Okay.

Without them, pies would be impossible. They're the supreme leaders of pies. Pies and pastries and muffins and everything. Okay. They should crush down on those gluten-free renegades. I think they do. There was certainly no gluten-free category last night. They probably do a gluten-free flour.

What? They're probably all over that. What? Ross, you went along to the pie awards. Can I just say, exceeded my expectations 3,000-fold. This is my Oscars. I've wanted to go for years and years and years and I finally got the opportunity to go so I pulled out the old Radio Awards suit which is...

Well, jeans and a jacket over top of a t-shirt, yeah. Was there a dress code? Oh, people are like, ball gowns and everything. This is a huge event. This is a massive event. It's at Sky City and you remember when Radio awards used to be good and well big and they used to have like sit down meals

and everything like that. It's like that but better. So the pie awards are better than the New Zealand radio awards. Well there's food. There's pies. No but there's like this full giant audio visual display. Paul Ego was there emceeing.

He's the top dog. Lots and lots and lots of people winning lots of awards. But what kind of awards? I know that they've got the big pie, but what are the other awards? So there's the Supreme Award. There's 12 other categories. 12? Like tastiest?

No, like bacon and egg or steak and gravy. So you can, okay. Chicken. More mince, like a steak pie. So the steak and gravy pie This year got renamed To the truckie and tradie pie Award Because the truckies and tradies

Love them Do they? Steak and gravy pies Yeah That's generalising Big news Next year Sausage roll of the year

Coming in as a category Oh I think we should enter that Because you do a pie and a V Every day pretty much No this isn't true But like Nearly Today it was a muffin and a V. But you know, this is my holy grail.

But it was insane. And there's a guy, Pat Lamb from Tauranga, who won two years in a row now. I thought it was this and he won it seven? He's won seven, but it's two years in a row. Two years consecutively. So the best pie in the country is in Tauranga. And some mints and cheese. Real classic. It went from a... they said something about the cheese was perfectly

swirled through the mints. Oh yeah that's good. Yeah because it used to just be a blob on the top. Blobbing on top right. And sometimes it would be right on the side. What kind of cheese do they use in the mints and cheese? There's no chat about um cheese choices, no, no. Pat Lamb will take that secret to his grave. Okay. Maybe it's a cheese blend. But there's this really wholesome thing that happens when all of the people who win get up there, and it's all old mates,

get up there, then thank their wives, and the whole crowd is waiting for it. Yeah. You know when, like, Tiger Woods will be at, like, the 18th hole, and everyone's really silent, and then he hits it through, and everyone erupts into a pause. Did we get the audio for that?

We do, yeah. Okay, this is Pat Lamb last night. Body to the judge, to the Zillow Winkle, especially to my wife. Yes! Without fail, it's the most wholesome thing. When someone says thanks to my wife, the crowd goes nuts.

The entire crowd loses it. It was so great. And that's for everybody that wins. Yeah. And then it's like, you know what it felt like? Going to the darts. Every time someone says that or someone wins, everyone's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just the best night of my life.

We should all go next year and let's enter a sausage roll into the sausage roll awards. When you say we enter a sausage roll, who's making it? I don't know. Maybe Max the Sausage Roll. Yeah, sure. Why it? I don't know. We'll just call it a... Yeah, sure. Why not? You can make it at your cafe. We'll make it at the cafe.

We'll market it on the radio. We'll do a four-year consideration campaign. But I want it to be under... Like, if we win, I want it to be under our name, not under ZM. I think we could call it a Rossage Roll. A Rossage Roll.

Any way that we can get to this massive night, it sounds a lot of fun. It is the most amazing awards ceremony I've ever been to. I still can't get over that people wear ball dresses. Oh, that's huge, mate. What if you get some mince and cheese on your suit or your ball dress? Yeah, what kind of food is served? Is it pies?

There's pies later on, but there's a full three-course sit-down meal. Oh, good Lord. There's lamb, there's chicken. Pies, pies. No, like fancy meals. Okay. Oh, good Lord. There's lamb, there's chicken. Pies, pies and pies. No, like fancy meals. Okay. It's done well. And spates on,

spates and Stella. What's about it? So, Pat Lamb has won in 2019 for the mince and cheese, 2018 for the roast pork mushroom and cheese,

2016 it was the bacon and egg, 2010 it was the bacon and egg, 2009 it was the creamy bacon mushroom and cheese, 2004 it was the mince and cheese, and 2003 it was the mince and egg. 2010, it was the bacon and egg. 2009, it was the creamy bacon, mushroom and cheese. 2004, it was the mince and cheese. And 2003, it was the mince and cheese. Give someone else a chance to win, would you, Pat? If I was going to eat a pie, it would be a mince and cheese.

Like, I need to try this mince and cheese pie. So it's in Tauranga? Does it say where the store is? I mean, people... No, apparently it's got them everywhere now. He's got a store? Okay, right. He's got like Gold Star Patrick's Bakery

around the Fijian Islands on a catamaran. And he's looking very sun-kissed. He is looking sun-kissed. Did you ever put any pictures on your gram? Well, no, you're in the middle of islands, Megan. You're very away from any kind of 4G. You promised me. I told you my favourite part about you going on holiday

is the boomerangs. I know. And I actually talked leading up to my friends who know that they say you never put anything on Instagram. And I said, should I just go all out and post every day? And that was the plan. But didn't realise that you can't get Spark 4G in the middle of Fiji Island.

Later, Graham James. I know, yeah. Do it later. Put it when you get back and go, oh my God, I wish I could go back. But then I don't take any photos. I think my girlfriend said she took 170 photos. I look at my phone, I took one photo

and it was from just some water off the back of the boat that I must have just on the first day been like, this is kind of cool. Are you even holidaying if it's not on Instagram, James? I know, I know. You're doing life. Your last photo on Instagram was December 2017. And I was on a boat,

so it would have been a great transition that I'm back on a boat four years later oh my god I do yeah maybe one day it's like he went on holiday to enjoy the people

he was with or something yeah it's so weird what a foreign concept but this didn't happen on holiday this happened at the gym tell us what happened yeah it was at the gym

so my girlfriend finishes work about 5.30 so I go and meet her at the gym afterwards. So she was already at the gym when I got there. I come in and she says, someone just came through the entry doors.

I'm sure they're from a TV show. I've seen them before. Oh, okay. My girlfriend, a big fan of Shortland Street, I thought straight away, probably someone from Shortland Street. Yeah, that makes sense. Just sort of spotted them around.

So we walk into the gym and she points the guy out. She says, that's him there. I'm sure he's from a TV show somewhere. And I look at him and never seen him before in my life. And, you know, I thought I might recognise

maybe someone from Shortland Street or something like that. Because they come in here all the time, don't they? Yeah. You could be like, yep, that's him. And, you know, if you're lucky, you might see Chris Warner walking down the street

if you're around. Yeah, if you're lucky. If you're really lucky. I've seen a Chris Warner in the wild on Queen Street. I threw my Pokeball at him, but it bounced off. Yes, he is. And this was always an exciting time seeing a doctor in the wild,

but it wasn't someone from Shortland Street. I was sure of it. And Chanel, my girlfriend, started getting a little bit annoyed. She's like, come on. I'm sure I've seen him from somewhere. And I I was sure of it. And Chanel, my girlfriend, started getting a little bit annoyed. She's like, come on, I'm sure I've seen him from somewhere. And I just couldn't pick it while I'm looking at him. I turn around and look back

at Chanel and it looked, just a look comes over her face like she's lost something or realised something. Okay. And I, she said, oh, no, I recognise him from somewhere. Uh-oh.

And I thought, whereabouts? That sounds weird. Yeah, I know. Romance. And then she says, he's a stripper. She recognised a stripper. The first thing that I thought of, I said, great, this hasn't happened to me.

Yeah, I know. If this was you. If it was me, I would be. You'd be in, this hasn't happened to me. Yeah, I know. Because if this was you. If it was me, I would be. You'd be in trouble. I'd need a shovel. I'd be digging out for a very long time about where I saw them from. But she said it's a stripper. And first I thought, when have you, I can't remember you going to a strip club or anything.

And why are you going to a strip club behind my back without me as well? Because you'd like to go at least. Well, you know, that's quite a great experience with your partner. I don't know, actually. She's never invited him, so he doesn't know. He's willing to try. And so a lot of questions came after that. Where?

How? When? Have you seen this guy? And she had to do a bit of research. She has two sisters. She went to her two sisters and said, where do I know this stripper from? Because I'm struggling to remember all the strippers.

I was like, how many strippers have you met? Again, if you'd said that to her, more trouble. More trouble. Had I seen that stripper once, I don't think I would recognise them at the gym. Like, how many times had I seen that stripper once, I don't think I would recognise them at the gym. Like, how many times had she seen... I know, I... He must have been a pretty memorable stripper.

A pretty... I'm good with faces. I'll see people and be like, where do I know them from? And I'm terrible with names. I don't tend to look at the face of a stripper. Why? Well, no, I don't want to catch eye contact with them.

Because it's awkward. Yeah, and I see faces all the time. That's not what, like, obviously... Oh, I don't look to catch eye contact with them. Because it's awkward. Yeah. And I see faces all the time. That's not what, like, obviously. Oh, I don't look at men like that. We're talking about strippers. What are you looking at? Look, keeping eye contact with them. Oh, he's taking his pliers off,

but I'll just keep eye contact with him. It's the polite thing to do. Come on. Yeah. Anyway, it turns out to be a stripper from a hen's night she'd been to. Not only did she recognise his face, she'd also done a body shot

off him as well so the story's just ensued after that I know I would have left those details out yeah

did she recognise the torso must have recognised the torso must have recognised the stringy singlet hanging over him but um

yeah it was when he was yeah she recognised the face but when he was running and a nipple came out the side of his singlet, she's like, oh, that's it.

That's the one. Yeah, right. That's the nipple that I had to suck the salt off when I was doing the body shot and then the other nipple was the lemon. Did you get anything out of this?

Like, did you hold that over her for the night? Oh, look, it's been held. Yeah, okay. That's for sure. It's always weird when, but it's always weird when guys bring up stuff later, like I've done it, I've tried it.

I'm like, I'm going to try, I'll bank this. I'm not going to make a big deal out of it. I'll bring it up later. And I brought it up later and I just got this lip like, what are you talking about? Like, what are you doing that for? And I'm like, well, you wait. You do this and get away with it.

And then she brings up something later and I'm like, oh, yeah, I don't know, yeah, sorry. Why can't guys bring up stuff later? Are we not practised enough? Andrew definitely banks it and brings it up later. I've got to ask him for his tips on how he does it. Do I not deliver it with enough? Maybe not.

You've got to really deliver it with a bit of guilt. Don't come in too aggressive. Call me crazy, but I'd just rather deal with it at the time. I know I like that hot Instagram model's photo, but do you remember that time you did a body shot and licked a stranger's tummy? Yeah, but that was in person. What?

It wasn't online. You've got me. What did it mean? What does a like online even mean? I knew exactly what that body shot meant. It was a hen's do. We were all doing it. And you're like, hold on.

Hold on. I'm wildly ill prepared for this argument. Give me 15 minutes. I need to go and formulate a plan. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's 20 Questions. I have questions for you. All right, 20 questions. You've got 20 questions to figure out what our mystery object is.

You get to ask us yes, no questions and then have a guess. Recap? Let's recap. Let's recap. Is it a living thing? No. Is it found in a house? No.

Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor? No. Is it something you would wear? No. Is it outside? Yes. Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor? No. Is it something you would wear? No. Is it outside? Yes.

Some people do, but hardly many. Very few. No, don't. Hardly many. Hardly many. Good England. That's not. It's a yes, no. They asked, we answered. That one needs clarification. No, it doesn't need clarification. Well, don't. Hardly many. Hardly many. Good England. That's not. It's a yes, no.

They asked, we answered. No, it doesn't need clarification. Well, we clarified it anyway. So, no, no, no, no, no. Would you use it on your house? No. As a bright orange, no. Can it be made out of wood?

No. Can you hang something on it? Yes. Yeah. You could. You could. You could. The answer's yes, Vaughn.

Yeah, you can. On the outdoor umbrellas, you... No, have you never seen it? No, yeah, maybe. Could you hang something on it? You could hang something on it. Oh, could you though? Yeah, you can. On the outdoor umbrellas.

No, have you never seen it? No, what do you mean? If you were expecting a light shower, you could put up the outdoor umbrella and hang something to dry underneath it. It stops the shower but still gets the airflow and the warmth. Oh, okay. Yeah, I personally wouldn't want to wreck my umbrella

by hanging stuff on it, but it's not. No. No. All right, thank you, Hannah. What does that mean? Seven? Yeah, seven guesses left. Flesh Fauna Megan, the podcast.

ZM. New Zealand's favourite cake flavour has been revealed. This is through online searches, so this is, I'm imagining, people's favourite cake to make at home. They're like, I'm not going to make a cake, but I need a recipe. I'm googling. You're not going to make a cake, but I need a recipe. I'm Googling. That's what I do. But you're not going to make a cake that you don't like, so.

That's true. But, but, but, it's a banana cake. And you know how you're always like, those bananas have gone a bit brown. What am I going to do with those? Oh, I'll make a banana cake. Oh, so you feel that banana cake's the favourite because. Because you've got limited time. Yeah.

Like you've got to deal with them or you've got to peel them and freeze them. Don't freeze them without peeling them. Fool's errand. Oh, yeah, amateur mistake. Absolute amateur to freeze them in their skin. Because that's how you make good smoothies, is you chuck your peeled bananas in the freezer. Yeah, well, I've...

In little bits. Yeah, I've got that machine that makes it into ice cream. Fancy. You put your fancy, your frozen banana in the top and this little blade just spins around and like noodlies it up. When did you become a one percenter? And why?

I got sent it. Real quick in front of our eyes. I got sent it. Now I've had the ice cream machine for years. Ever since I was one of you. Ever since I was, what do you refer to, what do you like to be referred to as now?

Commoners or plebs or peasants or working class? Sure, yeah. Work class makes it sound like you do something. General citizens. General population makes it sound prison. I was going to go with working class because it makes it sound like you contribute. Okay. So you've got an ice cream machine that turns bananas into ice cream.

Yes. In your mansion. Yeah. Well, no, it's on the yacht at the moment. Oh, right. Okay. I'll get it back. Okay.

I've got to go down to the yacht actually. You can get the helicopter to the yacht. Well, no, it's in the shop. Oh, did I not tell I'll get it back. Okay. I've got to go down to the yacht, actually. You can get the helicopter to the yacht. Well, no, it's in the shop. Oh, did I not tell you about that? No. God, we hit a grey heron. Wow, the bloody rigmarole that the greenies are putting up about that. You can't land in protected swampland.

I'll land where I want, I'm rich. So, when I get the machine back, I'll be able to use the bananas for something else. Right. Until then, I'll have the servants make them into banana cake. Now, the servants would Google, and thus I reckon that's the answer as to why this is slightly flawed and why this is New Zealand's favourite cake flavour.

But what is your favourite? Carrot cake. Full stop. See, I'd go a banana over a carrot cake. But then I Where I Fall out with people Over banana cake Is the icing

Because I'm not a Cream Oh No Cream cheese icing I'd rather do GTFO I'd do a really nice

Like just a normal A lemon icing So you're talking Icing sugar Water Yeah but with butter So you whip up You whip up an icing.

But cream cheese it and add the lemon. The cream? No. It's the texture and the body of the cream cheese. Or a chocolate icing. Get lots of lemon in there. I hate people that put chocolate icing on banana cake. You hate them.

You're going with a fruity cake. Keep it with the chocolate. It's too much. No, I'll eat a bit of chocolate, but it's got to be like quite... Full chocolate, I see. Where else on the Google search have all the other cakes fallen? So number one is chocolate cake worldwide. So we didn't fall in the same...

Yeah, that's second for New Zealand. Chocolate cake is second. Can you ever Google a picture of a cake? Like just to look at cake? No. Well, you're not allowed cake. Or like you're trying not to eat cake. No. To you, get a little... Or like you're trying not to eat cake.

No. To you, get a little. Oh no, I go on Pinterest when I'm on a diet. I just like rock on Pinterest and look at recipes. I'm like, oh my god, when I'm not on a diet I'm gonna make that. Like, you watch this. Like lots of cheesy stuff. You're like, oh yeah, that's good stuff.

Chocolate mud cake. Oh, then you go enter and then you go images. Right. So worldwide, we're different than the world. Worldwide is number one. different worldwide is number one chocolate cake is number one is that doing it for you yeah is that doing it for you you know those sometimes my wife will come in she'll and like she'll just come in with that knocking and i'll be like what are you looking at what are you looking at you're looking at porn i'm like

chocolate cakes different sorts of cakes likeadent cakes. Because there's accounts that just has, like, people stirring, like, chocolate or, like, pouring chocolate. Oh, yum, yeah. Okay. So number one worldwide was chocolate cake. That's second for us. It goes banana, chocolate, this is New Zealand, and then... Fruit.

A fruit cake. You mean, like, a Christmas cake. Yeah. No, because that's, like, who knows how to make a fruitcake? Like you can't buy fruitcake in a, you know, you buy your boxed cake and all you need to do is add, you don't need to Google that. You just buy your vanilla cake or your chocolate cake and you pour it in, you add an egg and you add some butter

and then away you go. But fruitcake doesn't come in a really good situation. Yeah, it's a bit more, isn't it? No, it's not. It's carrot cake. Carrot cake is number's carrot cake. Yes. Carrot cake is number three. Man. Okay.

I judge a cafe hard on their carrot cake and their ability to do a good eggs penny. Oh, yeah. That's what you should always judge. Have you made a carrot cake for your cafe yet? Yeah, there's carrot cakes always in there. It has a real big scoop of icing on the top. It was good.

Yeah, it was good. So other cakes, it hasn't listed them, but other ones in the top 10 in New Zealand is vanilla cake. Pause. Because if you do a really good vanilla cake with like a white chocolate fudge-like icing, it's really good. But the icing's doing all the heavy lifting there.

The icing should complement the cake, but it shouldn't do the heavy lifting in the flavour department. Okay. Lemon cake is in there. See, okay. Was I talking to you guys about lemon cake recently? I can't remember.

I was talking to someone about lemon cake and we came to the conclusion that you can't have too much lemon. Like, I want a lemon cake to make my lips pucker. Oh, yeah, because I've had a lemon cake and I'm like,

this is very spongy and not very lemony. No, you just need, it just needs, yeah, you're right. Some zest. Some zest. Some zest.

Get a real tart, like icing on it, like a real. I want to eat it and be like, oh, God. More. Yeah, right. Do you know what's upsetting is that sponge cake and Madeira cake are in there. Yeah, but that's because old people love a sponge, don't they? Madeira is just like a fancy sponge. Right, yeah.

Is it a heavier sponge? A heavy sponge. Yeah. Because you use both of those for trifle. You make a sponge cake or you could have like a Madeira cake for trifle. Right. So maybe that's why it's in there. Sultana cake on the list?

No. Yuck. My nana made a bloody great sultana cake. Oh, that was a good cake. God, I love talking about cake. It's so yum a bloody great sultana cake. Oh, that was a good cake. God, it was a good sultana cake. God, I love talking about cake. It's so yum. Yeah.

Now I want cake. Come on, make a sultana cake, actually. Haven't had one. So the one that is in red velvet has placed sixth in New Zealand and second worldwide, which pisses me off. I know, because you actually hate red velvet. Red velvet. Second worldwide.

Can I just, like a PSA, red velvet is a weak chocolate cake with like red food colouring in it. Why are we eating weak chocolate cake? Everyone just loves it because it's red. Get over it. It's just a waste of time cake. It's a waste of time flavour. By the way, I'm doing red velvet donuts.

And you'll be judged when you purchase one. I'll be like, by the way, this is a waste of time flavour. That's just a weak chocolate cake with red calories. But it's popular, so I'm giving it and making it. Because it looks pretty. Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do you guys know a lot about jumping? I mean, I'm not an expert.

Jumping is leaving the ground. Yep, okay. So there's actually a classification system for jumping and there's five basic jump forms. Have you done skipping like... Recently? It's so hard. Like at school you do it and stuff

Yeah And you're like cool And then you don't do it for ages And then you're like at the gym And you see a skipping rope And you're like I'll do that I'll do that

Your PT's like do it for a minute You're like Piece of cake Easy Yeah I don't remember my titties moving When I was eight I had a jump rope

I don't remember anything moving Yeah Megan But now when you might have moved since 15 yeah yeah

they move think about that like that'd be horrible yeah what having boobies while jumping

yeah welcome flesh I mean it's the least of woman's problems in the modern world surprisingly that's why we wear bras I know if that was all they had left on the list to tick off I don't think they'd be that

Upset about it But you know just you jump and it moves But then also I found it's good to Concentrate on other areas that move Now that didn't They can't see me pointing on the radio Well we figured it out. Yeah.

I mean, not as much movement as the boobs, but it's still there. It's there. You concentrate on it, you'll definitely feel some movement. Okay. So there's these different sorts of jumps. Jumping is what it's called when you leave the ground on both feet and land on both feet. That's a jump.

A hop is jumping on one foot and landing on the same foot. Yep. A leap is jumping from one foot and landing on the other foot. So sometimes when you do a skipping rope, it's actually leaping because you know how you do that one where you go from foot to foot. Foot, foot, foot, foot, foot, foot. But if you're jump roping, you are

literally jumping and landing on. What if I jump from two feet over and land on two feet? That's jumping. Oh, that's still a jump. That's a jump. Okay. A hop is from one foot landing on. What if I jump from two feet over and land on two feet? That's jumping. Oh, that's still a jump. That's a jump. Okay. A hop is from one foot landing on the same foot. Yeah.

A leap is jumping from one foot and landing on the other foot. Right. What's jumping on one foot and landing on two feet? Assemble. Oh. That's called an assemble. And what's jumping from two feet landing on one? A sissio.

Dangerous. At your age, quite a risk. Yeah. Of a rolled ankle or just ending up in a heap on the floor. Jumping from two feet landing on one foot, a scission. Okay. Scission. Sissone.

S-I-S-S-O-N-E. Latin for scissors. Yes. Okay. Is it? No. Sissone. But it sounded like it did, didn't it?

More French, yes. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. So, yeah, okay. Yeah. So, yeah, those are the different sorts of jumps. So if you see somebody and they're like, I'm just going to jump over here, you can technically say, excuse me, that's a leap.

That was a sessione. Or a sessione. Sessione. You're assembled. I mean, I'd probably, sessione. S-I-S-S-O-N-E-N-E. Is that French? S-I-S-S-O-N-N-E, is it French? Feels like it's probably.

It's a ballet move, technically. It's also a French commune. So they obviously invented that jump. Right. And that movie, Sisonne's Wedding. Sisonne's Wedding, yes, that was about the French Polynesian lad, wasn't it? Yeah. Who did lots of jumps.

Brilliant. But not technically jumps because he was jumping from two feet to landing on one. Yeah. That's why he was called Sisonia. Sisonia's Wedding. Yeah.

So today's fact of the day is jumping has different names depending on how you take off and how you land. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day, day. So it was horrible news last week that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's dog, Waldo Picasso, got hit by a car in New York City.

Super cute dog. Yeah. So someone was, and that's the worst part. Someone else was looking after it and it broke off the leash and got hit by a car. That's horrible.

Someone was looking after our dog when he passed away and you feel so bad for the person. That's right. Didn't it eat? It ate rat poison when it was being dog sat. And like,

it just is the worst for that person because then you've got to tell them and then you feel responsible and it's horrible. Yeah. So the dog walker, it got off the leash and got hit by a car. It's really sad. But as a tribute, and they've been really cut up, they've gone to therapy about it,

they have debuted matching tattoos of Waldo. It's just his face. It's done really well and it's on the underside of their forearm. Right. Both of them. Joe and Sophie. She wrote, I miss you Waldo. Rest in peace my little baby. It'd be devastating. Yeah.

I don't think I'd get Leo's face. Don't make any comment about how you don't think he's cute enough to be on my arm. It's just because it's not my jam. But like, and I wouldn't get him taxidermied or anything like that. No, because the thing about... So I'd be down for a taxidermy.

No, because if you really love that pet... I don't want his body to be... You wouldn't want it to see all the time because it wouldn't be real and alive. It'd just be a horrible reminder, wouldn't it? Yeah. I'd get a flat part put on their back so you could sit a coffee mug on it.

But I don't even want to know that his body was like stuffed or anything like that. I don't want to. No. You're just best to forget about it, aren't you? No, just like. Bury your feelings. Bury your feelings. Hold his memory, like remember him for the good times.

Yeah, right. But it did lead me to thinking like lots of people do do those tributes. Not that I'm hating on taxidermy or anything like that. But I'd like to know what was your tribute to your pet when they passed away? Maybe it was the tattoo.

Lots of people do, because the pets are one of our families. Some people do funerals and get them cremated and spread ashes. Yeah, I will 100% do a funeral.

Oh, I don't want to think about it. Yeah. Like I'm just at home, like awake more than a funeral. Oh, would there be catering? Like you won't go to a funeral home I don't want to think about it. Really? Yeah. Like I'm just at home. Like awake more than a funeral. Oh, would there be catering? Like you won't go to a funeral home or like... Oh, no. A funeral home. No. But you guys are gonna

be in this question. Has anybody worked at a funeral home for a pet funeral? Has anybody? That's what I was gonna say. Surely there's an ethics thing there or a... What do you mean? Like at an actual funeral home. Could you hire at a funeral home to have your Alsatian? There's probably people who do pet funerals. Stop laughing. No, but when you

actually go to the actual human funeral place and it's for a dog or a cat as opposed to a human, that would be weird, wouldn't it? No, because I think of him as a little boy. We could run a funeral. Like when we buried Kaz, that was quite like a professional outfit.

Yeah. This is in your backyard though, wasn't it? You already watched me dig a hole. We all said some words. Don't bury a pet under a tree. You know why? Roots. Yeah.

Very hard to dig through. I think I did say that at the time. But you were like, no, I'm digging this hole. I'm starting. This is a spot. That was really hard. I tried to dig. It was so hard.

What dig? Digging a hole. That was really hard. I tried to dig. It was so hard. What dig? Digging a hole. That was without room. Just digging a hole. Digging a hole. So hard. So you want to know what someone's done, whether it's a tattoo. And I promise that these two won't laugh. Oh no, I won't laugh. And if they do, I'll reprimand them. I won't laugh.

Why don't you sound sincere when you say that? No, I'm genuinely interested to see what people have done because I think a tattoo is, to me, that's a bit far for something you've only had for six months. Well, you're sitting in a bar if you get another dog and then that dies, you've got to get that tattooed and then you get another one and you've got to get that tattooed.

Yeah, but the dog meant something to them. Yeah, let me get your arm. And gone way too soon, you know? Okay. You just got a shopping list of animals you couldn't look after very well. Oh. All right, 0800DARLS.M.

You can text as well, 9696. What tribute or what have you done for a pet that you've lost? Give us a call. We're talking about the tributes that you've made to your beloved pets that have passed away. Passed away.

What have you done to remember them? JoJo and Sophie Turner have matching tattoos. Yeah, of the dog face. So what have you done? Lots of people messaging you because they're like part of the family, aren't they? We had our dog cremated, then some of his ashes blown into a glass sphere,

a glass blower in Auckland, doesn't they? Absolutely beautiful. Oh, the remembrance spheres, that's what we've got Sade's grandparents on the bench. I'm sorry. A little ashy swirl. I don't think you should have that on the bench. Like the bench.

They're not like sprinkled on the bench. Sometimes I use it to hold down bills. Like a paperweight. That's what they would have wanted. I'm like, the ranch load is open. This might blow away. I'll hold it down. Because it's glass blowing.

Yeah. It's all the rage on Netflix apparently. There's a new show about glass blowing. Is there? Yeah. Haven't seen it, but everyone's talking about it.. It's all the rage on Netflix apparently. There's a new show about glassblowing. Is there? Yeah. Haven't seen it, but everyone's talking about it. Why is it all the glassblowing? It's a pretty amazing thing to watch.

Yeah, I don't know. It's just now. It's just taken a show on Netflix. Oh, it's just taken off. Some other text messages in. My cat passed away last year. She was my best friend. I had some of her fur made into a DNA resin bead for my Pandora bracelet.

So she's with me all the time. Who knew that could be done? That's actually pretty cool. Pandora's got everything, haven't they? Yeah. They bloody do. Somebody said, our dog died buried in the backyard. Soon after we had to move house, so we had to exhume

the dog's body. No! Then we got it cremated, so it would be easier to transport. No, no, no. You let that go. Yeah. That's done. If you've got a marker in the ground, you take that like a headstone. Take that.

You know? When my mum has a pet pass away, she gets them cremated. Yeah. Put in a nice little wooden box, engraved box with their name and a photo on them. And their collar sits on top. However, she's always rocking like three or four pets at a time. So now she's just kind of got this big shelf of wooden boxes of animals in her lounge.

It's just getting a bit much. Yeah, a bit creepy. Pet symmetry. It is. Kristen, what did you do for an RIP pet? We had my cat for about 16 years and she got run over. Yeah, we put her in a little box and we got her paw prints,

so I got it tattooed. Wow, okay, so because we've heard from a few people that have done this, you just ink their paws, put it on your skin, and then just take it in and say, tattoo that. We put it on a bit of paper. Okay. And transferred it from the paper to my hip. Oh, okay, so then you didn't have to, like, do it the same day

because if you do it straight onto your skin, you've got to do it before you wash it off, of course. Yeah, yeah, not the same day. So where did you get it? Sorry, your hip. Yeah. That's nice. That's cute.

But have you got another pet? Would you do that again for another pet? Yeah, I've got another cat who's about 19 now. So I'm going to do it. Oh, God. You can do the paw prints next to the other ones around the hip and have it look like a cat walked all around your waist by the time you're 80. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, God. You can do the paw prints next to the other ones around the hip and have it look like a cat walked all around your waist by the time you're 80.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, nice. Hey, thanks for your call, Kristen. Lauren, what was your tribute to your pet? So when I was about 20, my hamster died, and I had it cremated, and I got his paw prints done. But it cost me like $200, and my mom's best friend, I remember, was like,

you could have just bought 200 new hamsters. Yeah. No, they're not a dollar. That's incorrect. The paw prints tattooed on you? No, no, no. I got them done like ceramic. Oh, so you've got like a tiny little ceramic plate with paw prints on it.

What was his name? His name was Dumpling. Pretty good name for a hamster. So the $200 was for the cremation? Yeah, and the paw prints. So there was a special place that did this? Yeah, well, it was actually at the vet. They offered it for any animals.

But when I asked, they were like, well, we've never been asked about that for a hamster before, but I guess, yeah, we could do that. Right. Well, somebody messaged in, they work at a funeral home, they'd happily take your money if you wanted to have a funeral

for your pet there. So we've had confirmation on that. Yeah. Okay, good to know. Lauren, thanks for your call. Some other text messages in. The person who dug up their dog messaged the exhumed body.

The new owner's planning to dig up the yard and put a driveway there so I couldn't leave them there to be discovered. Driven over every day. Oh, okay, vehicle. No, with a digger when they were going deep.

Vehicle. To add some stability. Merlot, our winery cat, passed away, and I wanted to put a death notice in the newspaper. They wouldn't put it in the people section, and wanted to put it in the personals, and I said, no, Merlot was not a hooker. She won't be going in the classifieds.

We settled on the public notices. So between some bankruptcy notices, there it was. It was very cute. It's nice. Somebody said our cat died and Dad put it in the freezer and said we'll sort that out soon. And then everybody forgot. And then like a year and a half later,

Dad was cleaning out the freezer and found the cat at the bottom and it had freezer burn. Like, you know, if you leave meat in there. Yuck. Somebody said, you haven't gone through the struggles of burying a pet till you've had to bury your pet horse. You have to hire a digger and everything.

Make sure there's no pipes or cables. Dig a massive hole. Dig one, two, four before you dig. Yeah, and then you always plant a tree on top. Half commemorating, half, please before you dig. Yeah, and then you always plant a tree on top. Half commemorating, half please don't dig this spot up. You're going to be

quite appalled when you find a rotten horse on the beach. Yeah, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast,
