Starting point is 00:00:38 You just forget how beautiful the Abel Tasman National Park is. Those golden bays. Well, no, I can't forget because I don't remember because I've never been. Because you've never been. Seriously, you're missing out. People were asking because I put some lovely panos up on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:00:51 People were like, where is this place? You're like, just in our own backyard. Just in our own backyard. You're all bloody rushing over to Bali for an Instagram photo
Starting point is 00:00:59 for your holiday. Oh my God, it's so beautiful. Why don't you just stretch your legs and I'll tear it all before you go. But we got to the heart, my friend and I, and it started raining. That's great for Nelson.
Starting point is 00:01:09 But not complaining because Nelson needs the rain. Yeah, Nelson needs the rain. We got a little bit of rain over the weekend, which was nice. I've got 44 mils of rain at home, and I can tell you that because I've got a rain gauge and a new app called Rain Log. Oh, man. Of course you do. You select the date, and then you can can Even if it doesn't rain Like boom boom
Starting point is 00:01:25 11th I'll be like Cloudy Sounds like a period tracker Yeah I have to manually Put in when I'm having my period Or it's raining But do you put in How much rain you got
Starting point is 00:01:34 Yeah Oh I thought it measured It automatically No What's the point Like what's the end game So in the month of March I can be like
Starting point is 00:01:40 Click on this graph And see how much Rain I had And then I can compare it to other months. You need to get, I don't know, out and get a better hobby. Because me and Dad were talking about, oh, that's a waste of time. I mean, sex is great, but have you got an app that can tell you how much it rained this time last year? I just log on to the Met service if I want to know that.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Me and, because Dad and I talk a lot about rainfall. They're pretty desperate. They had 10 mils. And I said, well, that's not enough. And then I said, look, I've got an app. Me and, because Dad and I talk a lot about rainfall. They're pretty desperate. They had 10 mils and I said, well, that's not enough. And then I said, look, I've got an app that'll record the rainfall
Starting point is 00:02:09 and then look at the, he just replied all in emojis. Thumbs up notebook because he writes us in a notebook and then he put a keyboard in a hmm face. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:02:18 That's a thoughtful emoji. That could be his Christmas present, a rain gauge. No, he's got a, oh, like an automatic one. No, he had one of those that doesn't trust him. Why? Well, he likes to do the reading himself. He likes to have one on a fence post. Well rain gauge. No, he's got an automatic one. No, he had one of those that I didn't trust him. Why?
Starting point is 00:02:26 He likes to do the reading himself. He likes to have one on a fence post. Well, I don't know exactly how much rain Nelson got over the weekend, but I'm sure it'll be a drop in the bucket because flying in, it was so dry. It was insane to see. All right, you lot, listen up.
Starting point is 00:02:41 It's story time. All right, three news headlines for story time. Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, just like in the movies. Headline two, Good Samaritan probably wishes he wasn't. And headline three, Good Parents, Grandparents set an example. Good Grandparents? No, just Grandparents. That was my mistake. Good Parents set an example. Good grandparents? No, just grandparents.
Starting point is 00:03:05 That was my mistake. Good parents set an example. Grandparents set an example. Grandparents, not good. Just grand. Just grand. Because that's what the idea... Old people.
Starting point is 00:03:15 That's the idea of when you break down grandparents, it would be that they are the better parents, maybe more experienced. Grandparents. Yeah, I like that one experienced. Grandparents. Yeah, I like that one too. Grandparents is an example. Some like grandparents. They're neat.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I'm hoping that the example they see. No one else really like their grandparents. Everybody else is kind of like, eh. Megan? Yeah. Speaking of grandparents, my grandmother, Marlene, will be absolutely the only living grandparent I've got left. She'll be distraught after the hiding the Chiefs got at the weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Rugby chat. Oh, yeah, because she loves her sport, doesn't she? If I'm going to call her, I have to brush up on the latest rugby chat. Oh, what? I just have to know how the Chiefs are going. Right, okay. Because that's what we get on to. Yeah, the Warriors, that's your round one start soon.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I know that. You can normally guess, though, how the Warriors win, though, can't you? Start strong, blow out towards the tail end of the season, classic Warriors. Well, a couple of grandparents, a couple in their 70s, have set an example and they're challenging a stereotype.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I'm going to show you a photo of them. He's quite a lot taller than her. Are they in their 70s? Yeah. Good neck. Good neck. Good neck. Good neck for the 70s. Good jeans there.
Starting point is 00:04:28 They're challenging stereotypes by making a porn video. Oh no, well I don't need to actually take it back. They are in good neck. Yeah. It's called soul sex.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Soul sex. This is some tant. It's called soul sex. Soul sex. Soul sex. This is some tantric stuff. Hey, soul sexer. So they're very into, you know, that and, you know, soulfulness. And they're just challenging stereotypes. They're saying, look, we do it too. Your grandparents do it too. Grandparents do it.
Starting point is 00:05:06 How does that make you feel more? I don't know. Neither of mine really struck me as sexual. No, those 70-year-olds are doing it more than you. I thought you were asking me for my specific memories as a child, my grandparents. No. I wouldn't watch it, but that's not to say it's not.
Starting point is 00:05:23 It'll be someone out there will. I mean, there's lots of things that fall under the pornographic umbrella that I wouldn't cast an eye towards that have millions of views. And you're just like, how? Click on you of all of the creations here. There really is something for everyone. There really is something for everybody. And that's something someone.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I don't know how I feel about that. I'm torn between that's good and weird. Yep. But, you know. Each to their own, eh? As long as it's not illegal. Each to their own. All right, it's 11 past six.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I have, I'm going to tell you soon about a neat club I've joined. Oh, God. Is it a ride-on lawnmower club? No, it's not. But it'd probably be a sub-club. Yesterday, well, over the weekend, there was an AMP show type thing. It was called the Cumu Show. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:11 It's quite a big one, and I guess it's for a lot of people who live in Auckland, it's the closest and most easily accessible day with a bit of a country connection, a bit of a rural connection. Yeah, because these are all over the country. I remember them growing up all over the show. It was always one of the biggest events on the Morrinsville calendar
Starting point is 00:06:27 was the Morrinsville AMP show. And, you know, you go in there and you... What's the point of them? Well, like, so the initial point of them was you brought in your, like, best animals
Starting point is 00:06:39 and you had, like, animal competition. But just, like, the look of them and stuff. Like, yesterday, the poultry people were there. The ducks and the chickens and the geese. Oh, right, with the good-looking chickens.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah. There were some like... Yeah, good-looking ducks. Cartoon-level looking chickens. Right. With the combs on their head. Okay. Like, hey, you saw a picture of a chicken in a book when you were a kid.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Not these runabout ones on the side of the road you see when you stop at a rest area. Not manky ones. Not manky. Although some of those look real good, those ones, those rest area chickens. Because they've had free range. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:07:09 So they've just eaten grubs and beer. Probably like, they're probably wiping out native skinks and stuff. But yeah, they probably would taste alright. So that was on yesterday.
Starting point is 00:07:19 We went, because we kind of live in the area now. Yeah. And we've been before. It's pretty cool. The kids love it. There's heaps of animals.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Like this was literally Indy all day. A goat. A horse. Is that a turkey? Like, it's just these huge gasps. I was like, you're going to really hurt your throat breathing, gasping like that every time you see an animal. And then there was, you know, there was stuff for me.
Starting point is 00:07:40 There was, like, little tractors. I was like, yep, yep. Yeah, that's bloody nice. Then we found this little tent, and it was like, yep, yep. Yeah, that's bloody nice. Then we found this little tent and it was called the QMU Small Landowners Association. Oh my god. And I was like, how small does your land have to be? Because we've only got a couple of paddocks. Yeah. And the guy's like,
Starting point is 00:07:56 mate, a couple of paddocks is far more than you need to be a small landowner. And I was like, where do I sign up? He's like, right here. Did you sign up? Was that legit? I feel like you're signing up for something weird. No, it's like this. here. Did you sign up? Was that legit? I feel like you're signing up for something weird. No, it's like this,
Starting point is 00:08:07 well, that's what a friend of mine said when I sent a picture of the brochure. They were like, that looks like a swinger's club. And I was like, oh,
Starting point is 00:08:14 I don't want it to be in the swinger's club. No offense, but we were easily the youngest in that tent by about 40 years. Right. And so,
Starting point is 00:08:21 yeah, you sign up and then they've got all this like stuff you can borrow and they have like, Like tractors. Yeah, like equipment and stuff. And so, yeah, you sign up and then they've got all this stuff you can borrow. Like what, like tractors? Yeah, like equipment and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:32 If you need something, you go. That's pretty cute. I don't know if they're like Facebook level. They might be, but I think they're more newsletter, monthly meeting sort of people. Yeah, right. Monthly meeting in the town hall and beveled scones and you take to bring a plate. Right. But yeah, if there's any
Starting point is 00:08:49 equipment or whatever and you don't have it, you can ask and then someone will be like, yeah, I've got one of those you can borrow. So now I'm in this little group. How much did it cost to join this club? $25 for a year. Too much. Too much? What's that $25 going towards? Well, I don't know, but if you borrow something off one of the other members,
Starting point is 00:09:06 that would be what it costs to just get it off the yard of a higher place. And you don't have to give them anything. No. You don't have to pay. You don't have to drop off. You'd pay $25. You don't have to give them beersies or anything. No, no, it just works as good as members.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I reckon you borrow a couple of things and you'll give up because you'll end up stuck in conversations with old mates, lending you a chainsaw. But see, I'd rather have conversations with old mates. They're good conversationalists. They have a couple of yarns. Oh, they don't stop talking. If it starts getting racist, I can do this face.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Now, come on. Come on. You know when your grandparents start getting a bit iffy on like sexism, racism, any of the isms. You're like, come on. And you give that face and they know it's a topic that you don't want to have to address. There is something that we think is a bit of an April Fool's joke,
Starting point is 00:09:59 but I've had confirmation from Watties that it is happening. So I don't know where this stands, but Watties posted on their Facebook page, it's happening. We've teamed up with Tip Top Ice Cream to create this wonderful limited edition ice cream, tomato sauce ripple. So it's French vanilla with tomato sauce.
Starting point is 00:10:21 And the picture they did is like- I'm not bringing French vanilla into this. The finest of them. And then it's covered in chocolate as well. With tomato sauce. And the picture they did is like... I'm not bringing French vanilla into this. The finest of them. Yeah. And then it's covered in chocolate as well. I just... That must taste disgusting. Yeah. It's one thing.
Starting point is 00:10:33 So they said the idea came from seeing 7 Sharp when Hillary and Jeremy tried tomato sauce on vanilla ice cream. That's one thing. But what? Because apparently people like doing that. Yeah. What is wrong with people? But it's very... It is very sweet. It's one thing. But what? Because apparently people like doing that. Yeah. What is wrong with people? But it's very sweet.
Starting point is 00:10:47 It's like they said on 7sharp. It's very sweet. Tomato sauce. Tomato sauce is super sugary. That's one thing. But then you're wrapping it in chocolate as well. Tomato sauce and chocolate. That's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I can't imagine finishing that whole ice cream. No. I'd have a bite. That's actually sad. That's sad to hear. That's sad, isn't it? That's really cream. No. I'd have a bite. That's actually sad. That's sad to hear. That's sad, isn't it? That's really sad to hear. Given that it's the 11th of March, is this a long play, April Fool's?
Starting point is 00:11:11 But then they were asked if it was, and the rule is, right, if you're asked about whether it's being April Fool's, you've got to admit. So the Waddy's marketing manager, he said it's not an April Fool's joke. It's not a long play? No. Okay. We'll see. But it's in testing at the moment.
Starting point is 00:11:28 But then, yeah, they posted last night that it is happening. Well, in June 2018, both Unilad and Ladbible shared somewhere they were doing a Heinz tomato ketchup ice cream in like an ice cream... Tub. No, like an ice cream rollery where you go for an ice cream. Oh in like an ice cream tub. No, like an ice cream rollery. Will you go for an ice cream? Oh, yeah. Ice cream shop.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Parlor. Parlor. Rollery. Parlor. I prefer rollery. Rollery is a really good name for an ice cream shop. The Rollery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:58 No one steal that. I don't have an ice cream shop, nor am I in the process of setting one up, but I like the name, The Rollery. Oh, you're Googling to see if someone's already done it. Have they? Yeah, rolled ice cream, Columbus, Ohio. It's called the Ice Cream Rollery. Columbus, Ohio is a long way away though.
Starting point is 00:12:13 It is. Actually, there's a few of them. Any in New Zealand? Put New Zealand into the search bar as well. Rollery. It rolls off the tongue. There's nothing worse than finding out you're just not original. No, Rollery. It rolls off the tongue. There's nothing worse than finding out you're just not original. No, I know. It's heartbreaking.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Bangkok ice cream rolls on K Road. Oh, what do you mean Bangkok ice cream rolls? Is this just like a pancake situation? Yeah, like a pancake roll. Oh. Well, either way, I don't know. Show meeting? I don't know if I'd try that.
Starting point is 00:12:45 10.30? You should give it a go. But yeah, Heinz apparently did it overseas last year. Right. But Heinz is Waddy's, isn't it? Yeah. So that recipe will be on the, I don't know, the company intranet. So maybe it is happening.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Yuck. F.E.M. We have a real life swipe mirror that I want to talk about. This happened in Sydney and I'm going to tell you the story. Right. Yeah, no, I'll just tell you and then afterwards I want to like reveal something. So a Sydney doctor sent 9,000 text messages after meeting on Tinder and having relations twice. So that's four and a half thousand text messages
Starting point is 00:13:26 per sexual meeting. How is that even possible? Yeah, so it's gone to court. Even if you wanted to try to do that right now, if I was to try and message you now, just on your phone, is it iMessage on the laptop?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Because that would be a lot easier to type. Yeah, true. You can get it on your laptop. Isn't it when a group chat gets lit? Yeah. You might push through 100. Yeah. They weren't all, maybe they started sexy and they got very aggressive and vicious. So they started going into like, I'm going to F up your life, whatever you value most, I'll target.
Starting point is 00:14:03 No, no, no. That's the stuff that gets me off. Oh, is it? I like starting with, you know, your plain filth and then just your real degrading threats. Into some blackmail. Yes, now we're talking. That has to be, like, short, though,
Starting point is 00:14:16 because that's not 4,500 or 9,000, like, paragraphs. That's just, like, little sentences. No, yeah, punching through a couple of words. Also, you're going to threaten someone like that on a text message. You're leaving a big paper trail, aren't you? Yeah. So text messages were sent to the new partner, their parents, like very aggressive.
Starting point is 00:14:36 And in your mind, what were you thinking? Were you thinking that the doctor was a male? The person sending the 9,000 text messages was a female. A female doctor? Denise, yeah. She was sending the vicious messages to Matthew. I just thought it would be a psycho guy. And because so many of the swipe mirrors we get are about guys. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:05 flip the switch and this has gone to court. What kind of doctor was she? Just says a Sydney doctor. I need to know if that's like a GP. Like a psychiatrist? Yeah, like what kind of... Because you want your psychiatrist to be you know, level.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Or is it just like a paleontologist? Like a marine biologist? Like one of those people that are a doctor but it's for something weird. Yeah, Or is it just like a paleontologist, like a marine biologist? Yeah, like one of those people that are a doctor, but it's for something weird. Yeah, or like a doctor of English or something. Like she's not going to be able to press the bing bong on a plane and resuscitate someone. No, yes, you're a doctor on board.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yes, of English, you know how to ascertain. But yeah, she's been given a, what's an AVO? It's like a restraining order. A restraining order, that's the Australian restraining order. A restraining order. That's the Australian restraining order. Yeah, I don't know what that stands for. What does it stand for? Violation order.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Something, arrest violation order or something violation order. I don't know. AVO. Oh no, it's AVO. It's AVO on tomato salad. Oh, it sounds like avocado. It sounds like avocado. She's not allowed to eat avocados.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It's just a spread on toast, yeah. Australian law term. AVO. AVO. That is an apprehended violence order. Ooh, okay. AVO are orders that a court makes to protect people. An apprehended domestic violence order
Starting point is 00:16:19 is an AVO made against the person you're in a direct domestic relationship with. So it's all pretty horrible stuff. Yeah. Okay. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Hello, good morning, Metlink. This is the company in charge of Wellington's public transport buses.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah. They've received a complaint every 27 minutes. Between the months of November last year and February this year, 6,200 complaints. So that's every 27 minutes, not of the working day, literally around the clock. Double the complaints of the previous four-month period from the year before.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Right, because they changed all the routes. Routes? Routes. Routes. They changed all the routes. Different people were just like, what? And buses just wouldn't turn up. Yeah, well, buses have been cancelled too.
Starting point is 00:17:07 30 buses a day just get kind of cancelled. Why do you cancel a bus? I don't know. It falls too far behind the schedule, so you might as well just get picked up by the next one. Foggy. Foggy. They can't take off.
Starting point is 00:17:18 I don't know. Sound your fog horn, bus, and get up in there. But lots of complaints, and I've filed an official information request act to find out what these complaints were, and I have the top six complaints for Wellington buses. Wow, you got that back straight away this morning. Straight away.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Oh, wow. They get an email from me, they know I mean business. Yeah. Number six on the list of top six complaints for Wellington buses was a complaint that read, my Uber driver wouldn't drive this big, really big, weird Uber right to my house. A little confusion there
Starting point is 00:17:46 about what constitutes an Uber and what is just a bus. Well, that's what put you off the bus. That's the annoying thing about buses. They don't drive me straight to my house. Yeah, you're stuck to them. I mean, literally, it stops right outside your house. Yeah, now. My new house. Not the old house.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Number five on the list of the top six complaints for the Wellington buses. I wasn't allowed to take my fixie bike on the bus. So uncool, man. Obviously, there's not room for everyone to sit there. You see people take foldy bikes and stuff. Where is it that's got the... Some places have racks.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Is it Christchurch that have the racks on the front? You can chuck your bikes on the front? That's pretty cool. A lot of places do have the racks. Yeah, but then what if you put your bike on and then there's like five bikes and then you've got to be like unloading someone's bike to get to your bike. Meanwhile, there are people on the bus waiting just like, just bike the whole way next time, you lazy cyclist.
Starting point is 00:18:33 You should just have racks all around the bike and then that way if a bus like crashes into something, it's just the bike that gets smashed. Number four on the list of the top six complaints for the Wellington buses was a complaint that read, there were no onboard baristas or brioches. Right, okay. That's a problem there with your double B issue.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Yep. Baristas and brioches. Brioches. Brioches, yeah. Weird after I said baristas and brioches. Yeah, but I mean, that's Wellington, isn't it? It's coffee culture capital. You want coffee wherever. You do. Even if you're on the bus. Yeah. but I mean, that's Wellington, isn't it? It's coffee culture capital. You want coffee wherever.
Starting point is 00:19:05 You do. Even if you're on the bus. Yeah. You want to hear. Bing. All right, mate, don't get off yet. This is almost ready.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Number three on the list of the top six complaints for Wellington buses. Actual complaints. Someone on the bus was wearing the same thing as me and I was promised there was a bespoke piece.
Starting point is 00:19:23 This is the last time I'll be taking the bus. You don't want to see someone wearing the same thing as you on the bus promised it was a bespoke piece. This is the last time I'll be taking the bus. You don't want to see someone wearing the same thing as you on a bus. Yeah, it's horrible. That actually did happen to me on a bus.
Starting point is 00:19:31 This guy was wearing the same huffer top as me. Really? I was like, unbelievable huffer. I can't believe you made more than one top. Rude.
Starting point is 00:19:37 How dare they? Yeah. Absolutely how dare they. Rude. I always go, when I see someone wearing the same clothes as me, I'm always like,
Starting point is 00:19:43 eh. Oh, don't do that. Good. Good jacket. Nice top. Yeah. Sweet hat. Nice shirt.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Nice colour as a mate. Yeah. You go there too, do you? Did that happen a lot at the Q, U, A and P show at the weekend? I was wearing my gumboots. Oh, I get it right. I was very much looking around, but like, yeah, sweet red bands. But then everybody was in red bands.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Right. There were some European imported boots there with a steel cap in them. Now, they looked lush, but not expensive European. Right. Because you're thinking of those ones that Kate Holtzby and Mike Hosking wear on their little block. The fancy wear that people wear in Glastonbury. What are those boots called? They've got a strap on the side.
Starting point is 00:20:19 The Glastonbury big boots. The fancy ones. Yeah, there's a brand because my friend's got some. And I was like, ooh la la, who do you think you are? The buckle does nothing. It's purely a decorative buckle. Oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:20:29 it looks just to look nice. No, you want to be able to tighten the top of your boot to stop things falling down. That would be a great thing for a boot to have. Yeah, the Hunter boot. Hunter boots.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Yeah. La la. Well, I think we said the name enough to get a free pair. For what? Oh, well, my wife's a size 8 then I can be like,
Starting point is 00:20:44 I've got you some nice boots. Don't worry about it. Take care of this later. Number two on the list are the top six complaints to the Wellington buses. Actual complaints. This one says, the bus smelled of BO and when I lit incense, I got told off. WTF. When I lit incense? Yeah, on the bus.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Just spark up a little incense on the bus. God, I hate incense. So much. Like, burn a candle instead. Like, incense just makes your house smell like, I don't know. Someone's been smoking weed there. Yeah, and they're trying to cover it up. That's all the incense. Gosh, baristas, brioches.
Starting point is 00:21:15 It's all hard to say at this time of day. And the number one complaint in today's top six complaints about the Wellington buses is somebody writes in to go there, complainers, I said thank you to the bus driver, but they didn't say that's okay. What's up with that attitude? I always say thank you, driver. I actually have seen this happen on a bus.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Yeah. Someone up there, thank you. The bus driver doesn't say anything. They're like, thank you. The bus driver looks and they're like, thank you. Bus driver's like, that's okay. I heard you the first time. Yeah. Like they were just, he's like, I don't get paid enough for this. I don't even know're like, thank you. Bus driver's like, that's okay. I heard you the first time. Like they were just,
Starting point is 00:21:46 he's like, I don't get paid enough for this. I don't even know, like, you say thank you, that's the end of our transaction. I don't need to come back with that's okay
Starting point is 00:21:52 because it's not. Do you know how much I'm paid? We strike all the time. We strike all the time. And if I'm late because of traffic, who's to blame? You blame me,
Starting point is 00:21:59 this guy. I'm not saying that's okay. Get off my effing bus. That is today's Top 6. F.E.M. I want to talk about your moments of lushness. Now, this doesn't have to be like next level lush. This is just a moment where over the weekend you may have felt an inner bit of lushness.
Starting point is 00:22:15 What, going into the store? Is that the soap store? Oh, you know, not going into the, they don't own that word. Okay. They might have it trademarked for that specific area of industry. Right. But like you wouldn't want to start a new soap store called Lush, for example.
Starting point is 00:22:29 No. They might crush you. Lush will crush. But if you just wanted to use the word to describe your moments of just feeling nice, then you're free to do that. And what my moment of lushness over the weekend was, my wife took me away for a night.
Starting point is 00:22:45 That was very nice. Yeah. And there was an outdoor bath. And you know me and water. I love being outdoors in warm water. There's something very unusual about it. Well, not really. You're just describing a spa pool in hot springs.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. And the darkness in a bath-sized situation. Well, I was reclined in a warm bath, naked. Okay. Cheerful thought. I was naked. Because I don't climb. Actually, to be honest, that's a bit of sass for Megan
Starting point is 00:23:11 because she grew up with nudists and at a naturist park. Was there baths, outdoor baths? No, there's something weird about that. Hey, isn't it weird how genitals kind of want to float? Okay, no. They do. You don't know, Megan. Just like... Hey, isn't it weird how genitals kind of want to float? Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Isn't it? They do. You don't know, Megan. You don't know, but they do. No, she might. I don't know if there's a... Boobs float. Boobs float? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:33 But there might be a certain buoyancy to the vahine. But, of course, it doesn't have the... It's not detached. Yeah, exactly. It's not external, so there's no... But it's just weird how when you're in a deep bath, there's an urge for the penis and the testicles to float. That was one of the many things I thought about
Starting point is 00:23:56 when I was lying underneath. Could I leave you to scrub? It was a beautiful starry night on Saturday night. We have certainly painted a picture for all of us. So I'm naked, slightly buoyant. Oh, yeah. Okay. Scrotum. Okay Saturday night. We have certainly painted a picture for all of us. So I'm naked, slightly buoyant. Okay. Scrotum. Okay. That is weird, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:24:11 So nice to have you back. I mean, your whole body floats, it makes sense, but when you're plonked in a bath, you're kind of stuck on the bottom and they're like... Can't speak for you. Right. So there's that. And in my hand I had a lovely little Central Otago Pinot Noir. One of the loveliest little situations to come out of that area of New Zealand. I mean, a beautiful area, but your Pinot Noir is up there.
Starting point is 00:24:36 And I was looking up, as I said, at the very starry night sky. And I heard in the bush, because we're by the bush, a kiwi. Now, when I heard the kiwi, Is that how they sound? No, I got a bit carried away in the lush moment there with the recreation of the kiwi sound. I thought, heck, this is pretty good. This is a moment of, and I described it as an internal dialogue
Starting point is 00:25:02 or monologue because there was only one voice talking. Very lush and I felt very spoiled and lucky to be sitting in hot water with a slightly buoyant genital. Again, with a red wine, listening to a Kiwi, looking up at our beautiful night sky. And I thought, this is great. I'm feeling very lush, feeling very nice. And then I thought, who else out there
Starting point is 00:25:26 right now? I'm not saying everybody would have had a lush moment at the weekend. Like Megan, you said before you didn't have a lush weekend. No, I didn't. Didn't have any moment where you felt particularly lush, lucky and... No, I didn't even get a chance to paint my nails to be honest. Oh, heck. What about you, Fletch? You
Starting point is 00:25:41 indicated to me earlier you had a lush moment. I went into the Abel Tasman National Park. Oh, yeah. And it was just beautiful. Yeah. And you felt lush. But I mean, there was no spa pool or anything. No, but you felt lush because you were spoiled to it.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Did you have a night swim or anything? No, because it was raining. But you saw a wecker. I saw a wecker, which I told everyone was a kiwi. You jokingly said it was a kiwi, and people actually thought you thought that was what a kiwi looked like. Even though you didn't know. Well, I knew. You're not a total dum-dum. You're a that was what a Kiwi looked like. Even though you didn't. Well, I knew.
Starting point is 00:26:07 You're not a total dum-dum. You're a little bit of a dum-dum, but you know the national bird. And so I was just thinking if anybody listening would like to share their moments of lush with us that they may have experienced over the weekend. It doesn't have to be like next level. It could have just been like. Like a little bit of me time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Yeah, okay okay but you got to sit under a tree or if you're a parent and your kids left you alone for 15 minutes so you could take a poo in silence my kids lately have decided every time i'm taking a poo it's prank like i hear them outside the door what are we gonna do for a prank yesterday was august was like i'm gonna lie on the floor so when he comes out from doing a poo, he trips over me. And then you'd be like, you've been pranked. I was like, I can hear you. It's like you're living with Johnny Knoxville.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I was like, I can hear you. And they're like, okay, we need another plan. He knows about us tripping him over after he's done a poo. Let's go away down here so he can't hear us discussing our prank. I'm like, I know you're going to do a prank. Okay, he knows we're going to do a prank. So just maybe it was all it was, was a little bit of quiet time. Okay, so what was your moment of lush over the weekend?
Starting point is 00:27:16 I'll wait to hunt your dolls at him. You can text as well. We want to know, Freya, about your moments of lush from over the weekend. And some people are text messaging in some very... Fletch thinks this should be called Moments of Bliss. Yeah, it's more bliss. Lush sounds weird. Bliss has been over.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Bliss has been... It's been done to your account. It's been bastardised. What, by Instagrammers? Yes! Having a blissful time. Yeah, the hashtag bliss. It's lush.
Starting point is 00:27:41 You feel like... Because you've... What did you... Well, I googled it. In formal British, it actually means sexually attractive. Or it means of vegetation, especially grass, or very rich, providing great sensory pleasure.
Starting point is 00:27:54 At a poetic level, this would be the equivalent of lying in very nice grass. Yes. Like a very nice piece of lawn. Yeah. Maybe like a fair way of a golf course, not a green. That would be a little bit short. Right. Maybe rough, just off the fairway.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Okay. But don't do that because the golf players will be like, and then you'll get hit by a ball. Very dangerous. Some text messages in. Kids are away at the grandparents' room. Lunchtime Saturday till 4pm Sunday. That can only mean one thing.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Naked day for mum and dad, feeling very lush. Naked day for mum and dad, feeling very lush. Naked day. Very lush. Saturday night, looking up at the bright stars shining while I was drunk on a curb, waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up, freezing my toes off. But the stars made it very lush. Lush. We've all been there.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Vicky, what was your moment of lush at the weekend? I was going to say, I committed to the whole vegetation idea. Six flatmates all out of town, so I cancelled my plans and had the couch to myself and the TV. Oh, yes. Nothing better when everyone's away. Absolute ideal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:55 It's weird being, like, I'm imagining that's quite a bustling household. Yeah, super rare to ever have any time alone. Did you get naked? No, didn't, no. We've got lots of windows by the road. Not the ideal. I have lots of windows. Because the neighbours are still home.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Yeah, neighbours are still home. Flatmates are it. Yeah, true. All right, thanks, Vicky. Some other messages of lush moments. I was lying down in the shower bath at my parents' house with hot water streaming on me while I tried to recover from a hangover, but I was like, I'm on gas hot water. This is never running out.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Lush. Absolute lush. Bonnie, what was your moment of lush over the weekend? Well, on Saturday, it was raining and I went to the supermarket to do the groceries and I got the park right at the front door. Yeah, the one that everyone mistakes as a disability car park, it actually isn't. Because that was my first question, is are you sure you didn't park in a disability car park? Yeah, no, definitely not.
Starting point is 00:29:52 It's like a real cheeky one right by the door. So I just kind of sat in the car for a few minutes thinking, wow, this is great, life is good. I like that you appreciated the moment. You're like, I got it. Yeah, watching everyone else run in the rain. And it was rough. That rain would have been a real moment of lushness for a lot of New Zealanders over the moment. You're like, I got it. Watching everyone else run in the rain. That rain would have been a real moment of lushness for a lot of New Zealanders over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:10 It would have been dry for so long. Beautiful. Beautiful bit of rain. I probably would have just left my car there just to save the car park and wield my groceries home. In the rain. Just to save that park. Just so you can park close next time it rains. Absolutely makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Thanks for your call, Bonnie. Stacey, what was your moment of lush over the weekend? No, we've lost you. It's red. Does that count? Does it need to be green? No. It's got a lock on it now. Does it need to be green?
Starting point is 00:30:38 I know what I'm doing, mate. I know what I'm doing. This isn't my first rodeo. She's gone. She did some candle lit yoga, apparently. Caitlin's just sent me a message. You wouldn't want to be too close to the candle, would you? Not in your Lululemon pants.
Starting point is 00:30:52 They look very flammable. Are they flammable? I don't know. Otherwise, you'd be doing the flaming single white female. The flaming asshole. Anything's flammable if you put it over a flame for long enough, isn't it? Nah, not like steel. Okay. Unless like steel. Okay. Well, they're not steel pants.
Starting point is 00:31:09 No, they're not steel pants. Some other moments of luscious couple involving wheels. A lush moment for me was roller skating along Mount Maunganui Beach streets at 7am in the sunrise with my friends. Oh, that's nothing better than that sunrise. Yeah, it's beautiful. Beautiful east coast sunrise. And you want to go roller skating before
Starting point is 00:31:25 everybody's out because they'll point and be like, ha. Hey, roller skating's awesome. Oh, no, I misread it as rollerblading. Yeah, okay. Roller skating, fine. Rollerblading, jury's out. And somebody else said they were cruising in their streets on their electric skateboard last night at dusk listening to their
Starting point is 00:31:41 favourite tunes. Oh. Lush. Lush. I'll float it to the committee. No. Okay. I like you knew exactly where I was going before I. You don't need an electric skateboard. Are you sure?
Starting point is 00:31:57 You don't. You do need one. You do need one. You don't need. I need one of those ones with the big rubber wheels, though. Yeah, because I don't think you're at the level where you can. Because you're intermediate. Beginner.
Starting point is 00:32:11 You're beginner. You're beginner. You're beginner on a skateboard. Because then you know we're going to get. I can skateboard to work in the morning. And I'll stay on Highway 16. It's a little bit of nepotism on the show this morning because when your cousin is on Heartbreak Island and they get eliminated...
Starting point is 00:32:28 You've got to have them on. You've got to do the interview. Hello, Truman. Hey, Megan, how's it going? But, but, but, but, cousin by marriage, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, because you're not blood related to this hot mess. No.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Like, no offence, Megan, but... No, he's calling you hot, not me, Trevon. Oh. Oh, yeah, I was calling you hot. I'm flattered. I'm absolutely flattered. So when.
Starting point is 00:32:51 My pleasure. A while ago, when Trevon started getting muscles, I was like, what is happening here? Trevon started working out. He's called puberty, Megan, and this is coming across very creepy.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Are you allowed to sexualise your cousin-in-law? It was, I think it was definitely the hot topic of the last family ski trip. Oh, did you go to the family ski trip? Yeah. Because you didn't want to go to that, Megan. No, I went.
Starting point is 00:33:14 It's because I'm not very good on slopes. So I just stay in the cafe. Okay, right. So what, let me get this right, Treven. Everybody's sitting around the fireplace drinking hot chocolates in South African undies like, oh, Trevon, you're looking very fine. You're getting the big bulging muscles.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Layering that South African accent on pretty thick there. You've got to put it on thick. You can't half-ass a South African accent. You've got to come in full. So Trevon was eliminated from Heartbreak Island. Sharice, she switched you out. That was pretty brutal.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yeah. Yeah, it was quite unexpected. You can tell from my expression on the episode, yeah. You wouldn't have regretted doing the show like a lot of people would because you actually came out looking pretty good, didn't you? Like, nice. I really hope that that's how I come across because I told myself that going into Hypergala,
Starting point is 00:34:14 I was going to be 100% myself. I wasn't going to put on a front or try and be someone I'm not. So, you know, being myself didn't quite get me as far as I hoped, but, you know, I don't regret a thing. Oh, and yeah, that was my one thing when I saw you on. I was like, oh, no, because Trevon, like, he's the nicest guy. How he is on the TV, this is the only compliment you're ever going to get, babes. On the TV is just how he is in real life too.
Starting point is 00:34:38 So I'm so glad that they didn't paint you in a bad light. Oh, I'm really, yeah, I'm pretty stoked that that's how I came across. Now, in the intro, in the titles, all the guys are, like, wearing, like, no shirts and, like, showing off their muscles, but then it cuts to you and you've got a shirt on. Oh, I know. I think, yeah, I guess they didn't want me without a shirt on.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I don't know. Maybe I wasn't quite as buff as I thought I was. Do you have weird nipples? Cause I've got some, my nipples are on the side. Well, this is the talk, definitely the talk at the moment. Yeah, I think my nips get a lot of recognition during the episode.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Really? What big areoles? Is it true that- No! Jesus. I've just- This is family, Fletch. Brevin, don't you listen to them. Your nipples are fine.
Starting point is 00:35:27 They come from a long line of strong men who have lovely nipples. You know what? I personally rate my nipples. A weird thing to say. Did Harrison actually shave your nipples? Yes. So, it was... Oh, wait. Did you ask if Harrison did or if I just oh no Harrison said that was it
Starting point is 00:35:49 Sharice that shaved your nipples uh no I shaved I shaved my own nipples on the show um on the show so yeah it's a very strange thing but um I went on 50 50 I hadn't quite decided what I was planning on doing and then I got on the island, and none of the boys had any hair on them whatsoever. So I was like, did I just memo here, or um, but yeah, and then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:15 But then some ladies love the hair, so, you know, maybe that would have been a good idea to have a little bit of hair. Yeah. Hmm, yeah, maybe, but, you know, seeing Charisse wasn't too keen, I was like, you know what, she just pushed me of hair yeah yeah maybe but uh you know seeing charise wasn't too keen i was like you know what she just pushed me over the ledge and then you know and then kicked me out you should never be shamed into shaving your nipples yeah no that's the thing that's yeah i'm just you know loving myself at the moment so going forward are you going to keep the
Starting point is 00:36:40 maintenance of the nipples up or do you think you'll just grow the hair back? I don't think you should ever ask a cousin. I know! Did you hear it on the radio? Megan was asking about the shampoo. Did somebody else ask you that? Okay, I'll ask. Truman, are you going to keep shaving your nipples or do you think you're just going to let it all grow back now? You know what? It kind of depends how I'm feeling.
Starting point is 00:37:00 You know, maybe over winter I'll just let it grow out. Maybe in summer it'll just, you know, high maintenance. Trim it again. That's a great plan. That's a really great plan. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the next braai with your shirt on, Trevon.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Oh, yeah. No, definitely. I don't think I'll be taking my shirt off at family events anytime soon. Oh, did you hear? Trevon on the radio with Megan's shirt saying, very creepy. Thanks, Trevon.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Have a lovely day. Yes, you too, guys. Thank you so much. See you, mate. First episode screened last night, Leaving Neverland. Everybody wanted to meet Michael or be with Michael,
Starting point is 00:37:38 and then he likes you. It's like hanging out with a friend that's more your age. Just kid things. They were just doing kid things. He just came across as a loving, caring, kind soul. It was easy to believe that he was just that. He told me if they ever found out what we were doing,
Starting point is 00:37:57 he and I would go to jail for the rest of our lives. So that is from part one of Leaving Neverland. Part two is on tonight. It's the story of two guys, James Safechuck and Wade Robson, who have claimed that Michael Jackson has sexually abused them over the years. Now, they are older. They're much older now, and they're telling their story through this four-hour documentary.
Starting point is 00:38:25 And, man, it's divided the world, really. It's very divisive. Yeah. Because there are people online who are like, I'm not watching this at all. I believe him. Which I don't really understand that point of view because I'm fine with you taking a side once you've educated yourself. And you can watch the documentary and then decide as well. And you can do other research. That's
Starting point is 00:38:46 cool but I don't understand that I don't want to see anything about it. Because wouldn't you want to educate yourself? You would want to find out. I've heard from the don't want to watch it have seen fans of Michael Jackson that kind of lived through the trials of the 90s and then
Starting point is 00:39:02 again in the mid 2000s and said it's all been said before and proven in a court of law that it didn't happen and then haven't watched the trailers, have seen a super hype. I've watched the first episode. I think you guys have seen screeners of the second episode. We've seen both episodes.
Starting point is 00:39:20 It was intensely graphic. And as a father with young children, it was very. I think you've found it a lot. I mean, it's hard to watch. I really, really struggled to watch it with the graphic descriptions of, you know, these reported acts. It's just a lot. Episode two, which is on tonight, is probably more confronting.
Starting point is 00:39:42 And really sold it for me that I don't think they're lying. Because that's a lot of fans, true fans are like, well, it was proven, why'd they testify and stick up for him twice? I mean, is that explained in the second part? They deal with that and there is a lot of emotion. There's a lot more emotion because later in life, they move on to the first episodes quite early on when they're young and then they move on to later in life and how it affected them emotionally
Starting point is 00:40:13 with their lives and everything. And I think when the emotion comes out, they're not actors. I find it so hard to watch them retell their situation with the emotion that they have and think that they're lying. If they're actors, they need every Oscar ever made. Because that's after watching both episodes. And I don't, I mean, there's evidence. There's things that can't be disputed.
Starting point is 00:40:43 He was having these, I mean, different relationships. I mean, how intense it was, maybe we will never find out. But there is evidence that he was having children over. There is evidence that he was, you know, like having these relationships with seven-year-olds and he's a grown man. Like, we can't dispute that. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I'd actually really like to know if anybody listening now was a huge fan going into this documentary, watched it last night, and has actually changed their opinion of him. Right. Because, you know, there were those mega fans, like you said, that just refused to watch it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Because they, I don't know, they just want to believe he's innocent. They don't want their memories tarnished. But maybe, I don't know, did anybody watch it last night and did it change their view? In episode two, does it go into why they waited until now and why they chose to voice their experiences in a documentary? It's probably the most confronting thing of the documentary,
Starting point is 00:41:46 you'd say. Yeah. It's quite harrowing. Right, okay. And that's what seals... I mean, if it hadn't already after episode one. But it's also like you watch it and I didn't expect them to have so much love for Michael,
Starting point is 00:41:58 even still. I wasn't expecting that. I thought they would be a little bit more angry. But the way they tell it, there's still so much love for him, which is what's confusing about it. That was in episode one. I did not like the parents of the abused boys were like,
Starting point is 00:42:13 oh, yeah, he was so charming and laughing about it. And all these years after, whoa. A lot of parallels between, you know, the Netflix doco, Abducted at Plain Sight. A lot of parallels with that and this, and articles have been written about that. But yeah, I'd just love to know if anybody listening now, has anybody watched that last night, that first doco?
Starting point is 00:42:33 Has it changed it for you? 0800 Giles.M. Text in 9696, because yeah, wow. I mean, everybody's going to be talking about this doco today at work. That's for sure. I mean, Google-wise, one of the most Googled things in New Zealand in the last couple of days. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Just crazy. Leaving Neverland, the Michael Jackson, well, the documentary last night about... Yeah, the sexual abuse allegations, I guess, that have plagued Michael Jackson for years. Part one aired of that documentary last night. And we want to know what you thought.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Yeah, and part two tonight so were there any big fans of Michael were you a big fan and how do you feel now after just seeing the first ep and it'd be interesting
Starting point is 00:43:13 having seen both and you guys you know being on board text messages such as this and I've seen these sorts of comments
Starting point is 00:43:21 a lot over the weekend yeah somebody said this is personally targeted at us, but this sort of is the general idea of some comments that I've read. You guys should be journalists. Go upstairs and get a job with your one-sided views.
Starting point is 00:43:34 You see one documentary and all of a sudden you jump on the bandwagon. What happened to innocent until proven guilty in a court of law? Well, he can't be. Episode two deals with this. And they say that they went to court twice and stuck up for him. Yeah. I mean, yeah, they defended him in a court order.
Starting point is 00:43:53 And they give their reasons why. They give their reasons for why they don't anymore. But again, watch the second episode tonight and get back to us. Because I was having these arguments with people on, like, Thursday, Friday last week, having seen both episodes. And I said, these arguments with people on like Thursday, Friday last week having seen both episodes and I said you just wait before you post anything. Watch both episodes and then have an opinion. And that's fine.
Starting point is 00:44:12 You think whatever you want after you've seen both of these episodes. And I don't want to spoil anything for tonight but it is a court of law is 12 people in a jury and those 12 people a lot of them were Michael Jackson fans. So, I mean, I don't even know if that was a fair trial,
Starting point is 00:44:30 to be honest. That's a good call because it was, you would have definitely had a, you know, the idea of a jury is that you're not allowed to have a predetermined take on it. But everyone knows Michael Jackson. Everyone knew Michael Jackson. And that's a fair comment as well
Starting point is 00:44:43 because that's what I would have thought and the world thought. Yeah. Oh, he's gone to trial. Let's just leave it be. Totally. What's the end game for the two guys in the documentary? Do they want to now take this to court?
Starting point is 00:44:54 Because what would be the, they would sue the estate of Michael Jackson? Yeah. Or can maybe personally, how do we? So there are reports that they are suing. It doesn't address that. To be fair, it doesn't address that in the documentary. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:06 They just go into their experience and maybe why there's a lawsuit going on. But then they also can't win because if they are suing, then that will give gravitas to the people who are saying they're only doing it for money. Yeah. But then to be fair, like one of them's had quite a successful career anyway, so probably doesn't need the money. Yeah, as a choreographer, which I've seen articles that slam his career as a choreographer but you watch the documentary and it's got
Starting point is 00:45:27 he was very successful. Somebody else said it's interesting you're also suddenly appalled by this. The story's been around for over 20 years. It's always been very public yet suddenly outraged by now. It's the same as R. Kelly though. We knew about it and maybe, I just never looked into it. With R. Kelly, I
Starting point is 00:45:43 never knew it was to that extent and like I'm appalled and it's the never looked into it. With R. Kelly I never knew it was to that extent and like I'm appalled and it's the same with Michael Jackson when it was thrown out in court or whatever you were like okay it's done. I never knew the extent of it. Yeah personally I never knew there was always the talk of it when the trails were last done in the mid
Starting point is 00:45:59 2000s there wasn't the exposure in New Zealand that is so easily accessible now by seeing things online. And while you shouldn't take everything online as gospel. But it made it sound like these kids were random kids that didn't really know him and they were alleging these things. These kids and families
Starting point is 00:46:16 knew him very, very well. Alright, Carla, you were a big fan before the documentary? Like, he was the first cassette tape that I had. Like, I've been in, like, arguments with people about this, and I just can't believe the people that will refuse to watch it. Yeah, that's what I don't get either.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Like, at least watch it and then decide. So are you a big fan now? No, I won't listen to his music ever again. Wow, and you haven't even seen episode two. Yeah, but I've had, like, I've got friends in the States and in the UK that have seen it. Like, there needs to be repercussions. And, like, I've been in discussions with a lot of people
Starting point is 00:46:54 and they're like, oh, you know, all they want is money. But, like, the Jackson family have an interest in the story not getting out because, obviously, they lose all their income. Yeah. So there's two sides. Yeah. All right, Carly, thank you so much for your call.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Big fan of the show, big fan of, sorry, Michael Jackson and friend of the show, Matty McLean joins us now. Good morning, Matty. Good morning. So episode one last time, what did you think, Matty,
Starting point is 00:47:22 as a huge Michael Jackson fan, where do you stand now? I feel very emotional this morning, to be perfectly honest. It's really kind of shaken me a lot more than I kind of thought it would. And I think that is because he was just such a hero to me, but also to so many people. Yeah, he meant so much to me, and his music meant so much to me as well. And so when you hear about these allegations, it really shocks you, and it really makes
Starting point is 00:47:54 you reconsider the way you felt about someone like him growing up, which is terrible. What's the most eye-opening thing from the documentary? Because a lot of people are sharing things online who haven't seen it. Having seen the first part, what do you think is the most, you know, shocking and eye-opening part for you? Yeah, here's the thing, because the allegations against him are nothing new, right?
Starting point is 00:48:17 Like, it's been something that we've heard about since the 90s, and especially around, like, 2004, 2005, when he was on trial for these kinds of things and honestly at the time i was able to kind of convince myself that the that there was no basis to these allegations that he was just a guy who was kind of a child himself and so befriended these kids because that's kind of the life he wanted to live and all that kind of thing and it didn't mean anything and now and maybe that's because of the world we're living in at
Starting point is 00:48:51 the moment but I honestly listened to the the two guys in this documentary and I thought I believe you and so I think that's the most important thing is I totally absolutely believe them and I think there's been a lot of chatter about maybe their motivations for these kinds of things. I think you have to take all of that stuff out because I honestly think you can't watch this documentary and not believe what they're saying because they're such powerful stories and it's so clear that Michael Jackson
Starting point is 00:49:22 took these guys into his life and made them a part of his world. And so you've got to ask yourself, why did he do that? And what was going on behind the scenes? And I think you have to believe them. I just think now, like, honestly, imagine if we were hearing about someone like Justin Timberlake inviting seven, eight, nine-year-olds
Starting point is 00:49:41 to go and sleep in his bed every night. We would think, what the hell? You cannot do that. That is so crazy. And yet for some reason, because it was Michael Jackson, we kind of forgave it or looked the other way. And I just think now we can't do that, and we have to listen to them, and we have to believe them.
Starting point is 00:50:00 That's quite powerful coming from someone who, as you say, he meant so much to you, and you were a big fan growing up. Huge. Yeah. And it's really, it has, it's made me really emotional thinking about it this morning because he meant, he did, he meant so much to me. And for such a long time, I looked the other way. And I think that's maybe why I feel emotional this morning is because I feel so, maybe I feel very guilty, I think, that I did. I turned away and I turned a blind eye to what now I think is such obvious signs and patterns of abuse. So are you able to separate the music now? Are you still going to be able to listen?
Starting point is 00:50:42 I don't know. Last week we had this chat on Breakfast about it, and before I'd seen the documentary, I said, I believe the victims, but I still think that I'll be able to enjoy his music. And now having watched it, I don't think I will be able to, which is really, it's strange. And, like, I have a whole Michael Jackson playlist on Spotify that I used to listen to regularly
Starting point is 00:51:07 because his music is amazing and he is, was an incredible artist and musician. There's no taking away from that but I just don't know that I'll be able to sit there and listen to his music like that anymore. Yeah. Oh well thanks Matty. You've put forward a very powerful point and
Starting point is 00:51:23 I think over and above all everyone just needs to watch it. Yes, absolutely. The next one screens tonight on TVNZ 1, 8.30. Thanks, Matty. Mosh Monday. It's a Monday tradition, Mosh Monday. Good morning, Natalie. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:51:49 All right, so tell us about this emotional song and then we're going to play it. Tell us what you were going through. So this song came out a couple of years after the event. It is a bit of a breakup song, but not like a traditionally sad one. So my first boyfriend and I went out from when I was 16
Starting point is 00:52:09 to just over 21, so we went out for five and a half years. And when it came time to breaking up, I still really liked him, I just didn't like, wasn't in love with him anymore, so I wanted to stay friends.
Starting point is 00:52:26 So I decided to break up with him then and said to him, you know, like, if we keep going out, I'm gonna hate you. I'd rather break up now and stay friends. So we broke up and I think a couple of days later we went out for lunch.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And then ever since then we've been really, really good friends. So when that song came out a couple of years later, I went out for lunch. And then ever since then, we've been really, really good friends. So when that song came out a couple of years later, I was like, oh my God, this is our song. Like, it's all about, you know, somebody who comes into your life and has a really big impact. And then even though you're not together anymore, they sort of left a mark on you and you kind of keep them with you forever.
Starting point is 00:53:04 That's really sweet. Why are you doing this to us? Natalie introduce your song for Mosh Monday. So the Mosh Monday song today is Tattoo by Jordan Sparks. I forgot about this song. all right thanks Natalie it's your motion Monday Jordan Sparks tattoo on sit in no matter what you say about love I keep coming back for more Keep my hand in the fire Sooner or later I get what I'm asking for No matter what you say about life
Starting point is 00:53:51 I learn every time I bleed The truth is a stranger Soul is a danger I gotta let my spirit be free To admit that I'm wrong And then change my mind Sorry, but I have to move on and leave you behind. I can't waste time, so give it a moment.

It's your Motion Monday on ZM. Fleek, Javonna, Megan.
Starting point is 00:55:03 13 past 8. I'm just going to put it out there right now. We're going to talk about how many engagements you've had. I've had two. You've had two. So it's not like I'm, you know, a queen of getting married once and sticking with it. Because J-Lo has got engaged over the weekend for the sixth time.
Starting point is 00:55:21 This is her sixth engagement. It will be her third marriage, but she got engaged. She's been engaged six times. So she's got like a 50% conversion rate, like an all-black kicker having a bad day. But then she's got a 100% conversion rate from marriage to divorce. We've got the same percentage, though.
Starting point is 00:55:38 I'm 50%. So you're J-Lo. Yes. Who's her latest one? A-Rod. Softball? Baseball. Softball, A-Rod Softball? Baseball Softball, A-Rod
Starting point is 00:55:46 Dude is worth bank Have you seen the ring? It's an emerald cut They reckon it is 15 carats And it's worth a million dollars On her finger A million dollars on her finger See it's hard
Starting point is 00:55:59 Now I can no longer believe That she is still just Jenny from the block Don't be fooled By the rocks that she's got She is still Jenny from the block. Don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got. She is still Jenny from the block. Well, Jenny, I don't think so. So you want to find people that are at J-Lo level of engagement.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Have had multiple engagements. She gets away with this because she's so famous. Yeah. Your average person's only doing it. See, two's easy. I've done two. Two's easy. Two's easy.
Starting point is 00:56:20 But then you've done two. Yeah. And you're just, you know, Jenny from the block, aren't you? Yeah. You're actually Jenny from the block. And I think I'm done. I'd like to think I'm done with two. But then a lot of people will get engaged, but then they don't go through with the marriage.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Yeah. What happens in that period? Well, it's just like, you're still just like girlfriend and boyfriend, except you've got a ring on your finger. You're not married yet. Well, you'd just call it, wouldn't you? So like, things can happen and... You'd just call it over, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:56:45 Yeah. All right, so you want to hear from people with more than two engagements? Yeah. Can you beat two engagements? Can you beat two engagements? You don't have to have got married. Yeah, it's just engagements.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Can you beat J-Lo? Six engagements. Nah. Nah. Nah, that's like... Because, yeah, do you only ever really hear of celebrities that do that, that have the multiple engagements? Who was that other, that's like. Because, yeah, do you only ever really hear of celebrities that do that, that have the multiple engagements?
Starting point is 00:57:06 Who was that other, that real old celebrity who died? Didn't she have like 10 or something? Oh, how old are we talking? Because it used to be a bit of a thing. Yeah. Like you couldn't be, but that was just old, the olden days, like they couldn't be seen with a partner for too long before engagement. You're not talking about Joan Collins, are you?
Starting point is 00:57:22 Yeah, maybe her or no, or. Zsa Zsa Gabor, darling. She had a few, didn't she? Elizabeth Taylor? Yeah, that's maybe that's her. She had eight. Eight husbands? Did she have eight husbands?
Starting point is 00:57:33 But if you don't get married, you don't get to keep the ring. Is that the rule? That's just the rules, yeah. Okay. Well, 0800-DARLS-AT-M, 9696, if you want to take your calls
Starting point is 00:57:42 or your texts right now, can you beat more than two engagements or do you know I mean feel free to dob in people do you know someone that can beat two more than two engagements

Starting point is 00:58:17 But engaged six times. So can you beat two times? Because Megan, you've been engaged twice. And I think that twice is quite common. Yeah, because, yeah, for sure. But we have managed to beat two. two times because Megan you've been engaged twice and I think that twice is quite common yeah because yeah for sure but we have
Starting point is 00:58:28 managed to beat two a few times okay okay actually which will make you feel good with you too somebody
Starting point is 00:58:34 somebody messaged in asking for accounting the amount of times they've tried to get engaged oh hey you just haven't found the right person what do you mean tried
Starting point is 00:58:41 I said will you marry me and the person said no well that doesn't count, does it? I know. Oh, but that's why they want to know if we'll take their attention. Are they not reading the social cues? Like, I feel like you should know. Sharon, it's our second date and I can tell this is a good one.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Will you marry me? No. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! We'll count that if it makes you feel happy. Yeah. For sure.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Nadia, how many times have you been engaged? I've been engaged four times. Okay. But I only married once and it's been 14 years. So pretty much looking good now. Four-time lucky. You don't sound old. Did you crank through some engagements quite early?
Starting point is 00:59:20 No, it was really random. So, yeah, like the first three, they were just like, yep, it's happening and it was really full on and I was young and I was like, yeah, great, awesome ring, like it, let's go with this. Yeah. Awesome ring, like it. I like it better than you, but this has dragged you up a couple of bits. Oh, yeah, that's pretty much what it came down to.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Okay, well, all right. And 14 years in, so fourth time lucky. what it came down to. Okay. Wow. All right. And 14 years in, so fourth time lucky. Fourth time's the charm. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, one of them just wanted me to be like a wife of pleasure, and I was like, oh, yeah, no. That sounds awful.
Starting point is 00:59:55 That sounds great. I know, I know, right? He's still on the market. Can I be a wife of pleasure? Did you get a car? Did you get an Audi with that or anything? He was actually random. So he was going to buy me a Kawasaki Ninja motorbike if I committed to it.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Yes! I will marry him! He's buying me my 1990s motorbike of my dreams. It better be lime green. Exactly. But even that was not enough at that time. Wow. Okay, incredible.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Hey, thanks you, Cornadia. Callie, you can beat four engagements? Yes, I can. Five. Yes, girl. Congratulations. Yes, I can. Did you like...
Starting point is 01:00:34 I think that's great. That means five people have wanted to marry her. That's like a record. You're in demand. I was in demand, yeah, back when I was younger. Right, so what's... Are you married now kelly uh yeah second marriage and hopefully the last yeah fantastic okay but you just never know
Starting point is 01:00:52 no no no no i've married my soul mate hopefully the last maybe you know right hey kelly thanks for your call uh cameron one of your teachers can beat five engagements. Yes, so I knew there was something up about her and she managed to get engaged nine times without being married once. Cameron, I hope that you're not shaming her. That means nine people wanted to marry her. Oh no, she's lovely.
Starting point is 01:01:17 She's lovely. She's lovely. She's lovely. Just commitment issues. What do you mean there was something up with her? Like, what was a bit off about her? Oh. Well, now he's going to tread lightly now.
Starting point is 01:01:30 I mean, she never had a ring on, but she'd always talk about husbands and or potential to-be husbands. And I never thought I heard 10 times as the lucky charm. But she admitted to you guys that it was nine times. Yes, she told us, and she was laughing about it at the time that she was telling us, like it was nothing. Well, you've got to keep a sense of humour about these sorts of things.
Starting point is 01:01:55 She must have the pheromones of a lioness or something. The guys are just, oh, I'm in love with you, marry me. Okay. Hey, thanks for your call, Cameron. Anyone beat nine or is that our ceiling? Nine's pretty much up there. Somebody says, I'm on my fourth engagement. I've been married once.
Starting point is 01:02:14 I'm the queen of getting engaged and no follow through, but we'll see what happens this time. That doesn't sound like your heart's in it. Somebody else said, my dad has been engaged nine times. On number six, he got married to my mum, but hasn't been married since. He's with his new partner. He's keen to get engaged, but she's like, just hold on. She knows.
Starting point is 01:02:37 He loves dropping on a knee. He loves taking a knee. He just falls in love real easy. Yeah, bless. I've been proposed to six times. I've accepted three of them. Number four gave me the ring anyway, even though I said no, so I could think about it. Do you have to give it back?
Starting point is 01:02:54 My girlfriend has had four engagements. I'm starting to think she's the black widow in disguise. But again, you take the compliment. It means you're a hot property. Yeah. They want to lock it down. They want to lock it down, yeah. I just found out my opa, means you're a hot property. Yeah. They want to lock it down. They want to lock it down, yeah. I just found out my opa, that's Dutch for granddad,
Starting point is 01:03:09 was engaged six times before he married Omar. Shortly after, we just found out this after he died. And he was with Omar for well over 40 years, so he must have cranked through those engagements pretty early. In his late, early 20s. Well, you know what it was like. They got back from war and they're just like marry anyone You wanna, you wanna, you wanna
Starting point is 01:03:28 Anyone, scatter shots of engagement Fact of the day Today's fact of the day is that there are eight... Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, 67 zeros. Oh, there we go. Ways to arrange a deck of 52 cards. Huh. Arrange them. Makes it even more amazing that Ben Affleck can count cards at casinos. I don't know. I think that's different.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Oh, is it different? I think it's different because you don't have to work out the order. You just have to work out what's been and what hasn't. What chances are the one that's still back in there. So if you shuffle a, if you pick up a well-shuffled deck of cards, you're almost certainly according to a, this is a guy that's on a tear tour. Okay. So, you know, Yane, his name is, or it could be Laurel.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Thank you. He said you're almost picking up and holding an arrangement of cards that has never before existed and may never exist again. No, I'm calling BS on that because you play last card with your brother or your friends and they never shuffle right and then they get the aces. Oh, yeah. But they might not have got the aces. Like the ace might be in the same spot, but everything else might have moved
Starting point is 01:05:20 or, you know, anything like that. Shuffle the cards properly next time. Oh, it's nothing like a good shuffle. But then what is a good shuffle? Well, just when you get a good hand, it's a good shuffle. So you just want the good shuffle. Yeah, basically. So, yeah, there's more ways of arranging a deck of cards
Starting point is 01:05:36 than there are atoms on the earth. What? How is that possible? If you're working your way up to using that fact, you start with, like, more than grains of sand on the beach or grains of sand in the world and then you go down to the atoms. It's pretty amazing because there are only how many cards? 52.
Starting point is 01:05:53 That's mind-blowing. But you think if you had all the cards in a line, two, seven, six, I'm going to do one and then you do one and we'll keep going. And then by that, when would we die? Trying to get through all of that.
Starting point is 01:06:08 I'd probably die of boredom pretty quick. And then you could carry on, but you wouldn't have me, so you'd have to do one third more of the work. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is there's more ways to arrange a deck of cards than there are atoms on Earth.
Starting point is 01:06:24 If you want to write it down, put eight and then 67 zeros. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Joined in studio by special guest Melissa ormel from Married at First Sight Australia. Good morning. Yay! Hi guys. So fun to be here. I'm so excited. I'm excited to have you in. Well, because normally we just get the phone. It's over the phone, the interviews. But here you are in real life.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Absolutely. I thought, you know what? I'm going to get on a plane. I'm coming here and I'm probably going to leave with a Kiwi man, Kiwi husband. Yay! I love New Zealand people. What? What? Are you on Tinder while you're here? Look, I just left my husband last night, so give me some time.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Not that bad. So, yeah, I guess I'll have to jump on everything in a minute, won't I? Oh, oh, oh. Goodness, man. Oh, my gosh. Morning. Yeah. yeah i guess i'll have to jump on everything in a minute won't i oh yeah morning yeah i cannot we man i love your laugh oh thank you we addressed it a little bit i'll marry it first i act like i was there um but man it's just it's very cool yes it's very it's very did you guys get sesame street over here very counter Dracula yeah Count. Very Count Dracula, yeah. So I really honestly think I should wear a cape everywhere I go
Starting point is 01:07:49 and just count things. Just one. Just start laughing. It would be amazing. How, okay, without being awful to Dino, because he's just a very different character to you, but how did you put up with someone so different to you for so long? It was really hard. I think that, because you're up with someone so different to you for so long it was really hard
Starting point is 01:08:06 I think that because you're actually with them 24 7 I don't know if your maths works the same but you are literally with you know your your husband or your wife 24 7 and you're really in that experiment because you're kind of in this bubble and it's all your emotions and that are really heightened as well and you need someone that you can communicate with, that supports you and stuff. And it was literally I could have been matched with a pot plant and had a better time. Like he literally like it's so important for me to, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:40 have like sense of humour was my number one and just to be able to communicate and banter with someone and it was just not that. You know, he spoke in spiritual, which is a language that I believe, that it's actually like Chinese, it's a language, and he, you know, he just, you know, that's all he wanted to kind of do. You couldn't even talk about everyday stuff with him. I mean, at the wedding, you know, the get to know you chat that we had,
Starting point is 01:09:06 you know, I'm thinking, so, you know, where are you from? You know, what do you do? Tell me about your family. And he was like, so, I had a dream about a guy and he had a snake around his head and I woke up in tears and I had to, what? Oh, my God. And so, you know, just from there I was like oh my gosh yeah it was hard um oh man
Starting point is 01:09:29 there's so many things i want to ask you about the people on the show um who is your favorite girlfriend um so oh gosh jules um cyril um so so um and ning heidi so we kind of actually i just Cyrel, and Ning, Heidi. So we kind of actually, I just named about five, calm down. But yes, we all, you know, got along just so well. Yeah. What do you think about Cyrel and her, I mean, she's had a few anger issues and she's screamed at people. Do you think warranted or not warranted?
Starting point is 01:10:00 You know, look, Cyrel, that is, I think that Cyrel, it's all her kind of cyclone, Cyrel, and her kind of, it all comes from a good place. She just has bad delivery. And I've spoken to her about this. Like, no, I probably wouldn't have gone about it like that. But she, you know what, she's one of those people, as a friend, you want on your side. Like anyone she loves, she'll defend to the end. Yes. So, you know, like I just, she's just definitely,
Starting point is 01:10:35 she's very fiery, entertaining as. I mean, how funny is that? Like I, all this stuff was happening in front of me. I'm like, is this really happening? Like, holy moly. It's like, I can't wait to watch this back front of me. I'm like, is this really happening? Like holy moly. It's like I can't wait to watch this back just so I know I'm not crazy and it actually did happen in front of me. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:51 So, you know, even everyone always asks me about Ines as well. And, you know, Ines in a group situation, she was actually really quiet. And then, yeah, watching it back I was like wow that's really different as you got was very different to the we were yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly what the i've just always wanted to know with the rings um do you get to choose your ring and then what happens to it afterwards you've still got yeah here it is? No, I think they're fake diamonds. You know. I don't know if it's cuboid zirconia, but I don't think it's,
Starting point is 01:11:30 I don't think they're that. I think, is there cuboid zirconia diamonds and something in the middle? It's probably the thing in the middle. But it's, you know, we don't get to pick it. We do get to pick, you know, do we want silver or gold or whatever. But, yeah, and then, yeah, we get it. But I actually like the ring, so I've just got it on another finger. I was going to say, you put it on your middle finger. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's on my middle finger.
Starting point is 01:11:49 So I can kind of go, Dino, like that. Just put the middle finger. Okay. Oh, yeah, sorry. We are videoing. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:02 And final question, because I know it's been, especially in Australian newspapers a lot, are you an actor? Oh, my gosh, this is so funny. Well, you're on Home and Away as an extra. Yes. But an extra does not equal an actor, and if it does, hey, amazing, can I get a role on something? Like, seriously, just in the background.
Starting point is 01:12:25 So, you know, my background, so I got two degrees and that's in communications and broadcasting. So I actually worked in radio for a long time, but then I was a talent agent. So I was just kind of doing extra stuff for when we needed more people. Long story short, doesn't make you an actor. But, you know, people that have been in commercials or been extras or studied drama or something,
Starting point is 01:12:51 it doesn't make you an actor. But the thing is there's no scripts in this show. So even if you were an actor, you're not playing a role in this because there's no script to follow. Does that make sense? It's like you can't just, even if you're an actor, it doesn't mean that, you know, you're like, do you know what I mean? Does that make sense? Like you can't just, even if you're an actor, it doesn't mean that, you know, you're like,
Starting point is 01:13:07 do you know what I mean? Does that make sense? And if last night was scripted, I think that maybe you should be because that was Oscar worthy. What's that? The emotion that you showed. Oh yes!
Starting point is 01:13:16 Okay, so, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. So, okay, I really want to be one.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I'm excited now. I'm really excited. Woo! And actors need love as well, right? Yeah, they do. And I'm going to win an Oscar. Yay! Tee-ba-doo-doo!
Starting point is 01:13:31 After he recorded you and you let loose on him, which I think he really deserved, by the way. Thank you. Yes. Thank you. And, you know, because they actually left 95% of that story out, you would have even been more angry with me because there was more than one recording and he didn't actually come and, you know, admit it.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Like, it was only because he was caught out. So this is why I was feeling... How many recordings are we talking? Well, okay, there was two, but that's all I knew about. So there could have been more. So it was only because I caught him doing one that he admitted to the first one because I caught him doing the second one. But then I started going, oh, my God, what else have you been recording?
Starting point is 01:14:08 And then it just got, anyway, but then when I was yelling it, well, I wouldn't say yelling, but I'm a loudspeaker and I'm very, what's that, animated. And so the more he just sat there doing nothing, the more I got. Wasn't it? That's why it was Oscar worthy. Woo! Because I was about to like rotate through the roof.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Yeah. It was amazing, wasn't it? Yeah. I had a vein come out in my head that I've never seen before. I was like, oh, my God. Like I've never gotten like that before. And I was like. It's not there now.
Starting point is 01:14:42 Well, no. Well, it's not normally. And I was like, is that for real or have they like, is that Photoshopped in? Because I was like, yeah, I've got an angry vein. Everybody's got an angry vein. You've just got to find what makes you angry enough to hit the vein. Yeah, well, tick found.
Starting point is 01:14:57 Got it. Got it. Well, thanks so much for coming in. I hope that you find love. Maybe you can find love in a Kiwi bloke. Well, that's what I reckon. Yay. Get me a Kiwi.
Starting point is 01:15:08 Yeah. Australia have done a study for us, and I think it's enough that we could also be like, yep, that applies here. Okay. There's a new peak hour for Macca's drive-thru, and it's between 3 and 4 p.m. on weekdays. And if you are familiar with when school ends. Oh, yeah, right. drive-thru and it's between 3 and 4pm on weekdays and if
Starting point is 01:15:25 you are familiar with when school ends it is that exactly the after school peak 3.30 is when it hits it's absolute peak but between 3 and 4 is the new rush hour you finish just after 3 don't you
Starting point is 01:15:41 3, 3.15 then bang you're straight to the drive-thru. So apparently in 1993, this is the last time they did this study. Yeah. Now this wasn't conducted by McDonald's.
Starting point is 01:15:52 This was conducted by Roads and Maritime Services. Right. Around what is the busiest time for certain things, certain aspects of road because then they've got to kind of like plan
Starting point is 01:16:02 around these sorts of things. Yeah. Okay. So when in 1993, they said this just didn't exist. But there were Maccas everywhere in 1993. They said lunchtime was typically the busiest. Right. In 1993.
Starting point is 01:16:15 But now Wednesdays at 3.30, that is the busiest time of the week for McDonald's drive-thrus. So is this people with cars, like students with cars, or is this like parents taking kids after school? Bingo. So this is, they said they studied going through older millennials, people over the age of 25, tradies, young professionals, and people on the way to get their kids, they said, make up more people than actual kids after school.
Starting point is 01:16:46 Mum's coming to pick up the kids and she's having a cheeky cheeseburger. Yeah. No, but then the kids get in the car like, why does it smell like Maccas? Yeah, kids get in there like. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
Starting point is 01:16:56 Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
Starting point is 01:16:59 Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. Ma'am. These are like teenage boys that can't smell themselves
Starting point is 01:17:06 when they read. And or smell like Lynx Africa. But they'll get in and go, Ma'am! Ma'am! Ma'am!
Starting point is 01:17:14 Have you been eating nuggets, ma'am? Ma'am! Ma'am! Smell the barbecue sauce on your breath, ma'am. Yeah, ma'am. Wow, that's fair.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Because I would have thought it would have been your dinner or your lunch. Would it have been the prime time your lunch. No, apparently it's just a... Would have been the prime time hours. The afternoon snack. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:30 I'd love to see Maccas come out or even BK with their stats. KFC. Of when's their busiest time. Of when the biggest times are. They'd know, right? They'd have to have extra staff on. They'd know when they were... Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:39 You'd see sales as well from the time. If you work at a fast food joint or, you know, just have recently, what would be the busiest time? Maybe it is after, maybe this does back it up here in New Zealand. But, yeah, if the drive-through is not busy with kids, because as you say, a lot of school kids wouldn't drive. But having been past the McDonald's in the afternoon, there was heaps of kids in there.
Starting point is 01:18:03 They just go in, don't they? Foot traffic. Foot traffic. But did I tell you the other day when I came out of school with Indy, there was a mobile ice cream truck? Not Mr. Whippy, but, you know, he wasn't Mr. Whippy. Right, it was one of those other fellas. Mrs. Whip Whips.
Starting point is 01:18:17 Yeah, Mrs. Whip Whips. You know, the divorce is hard on Mrs. Whip Whips. But she decided to get her own ice cream truck. She got half the van and she literally poured out half of the soft serve into a tub and said, I'm taking this with me, you bastard. I'll teach you to hook up with Wendy's. And now Mrs. Whip Whips. Not the burger Wendy's.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Yep. Frosty Cone Wendy's. In a territorial standoff with Mr. Whippy. She's got herself a new Frosty Boys and they are looking to establish it. But they were outside the school. I'm like, is this just cheesy? Is this allowed? It seemed so cheeky and the kids were walking past with their parents and they were like,
Starting point is 01:18:54 me! Me! Mum's like, well I did have a cheeseburger on the way here. It would be hypocritical of me not to buy you an ice cream. Me! away hero. Be critical of me not to buy you an ice cream. Meh. FEM. ZM.
Starting point is 01:19:07 ZM presents Broods. And super excited about this because it's such a great idea. It's an incredible event. It's the Broods.
Starting point is 01:19:19 Broods, they're putting on a free concert on March 21st. So that's next Thursday. Not this coming Thursday. We're going down A. Yes. We are. So that's next Thursday, not this coming Thursday.
Starting point is 01:19:25 We're going down A. Yes. We are. The episode of Country Calendar last night was in Nelson. Oh. I'm going to go and get some of that. Okay.
Starting point is 01:19:33 You know, I was telling you before our jazz, I was on Country Calendar last night. Yeah, I know. So this is to give back to the service men and women who helped in the recent Nelson Fire relief effort.
Starting point is 01:19:41 I tell you what, they're flying in on, because I went down at the weekend for a little family gathering, flying in on, because I went down at the weekend for a little family gathering, flying in on that Friday. It was a nice day. It is so incredibly dry. I know there was a bit of rain over the weekend,
Starting point is 01:19:52 but that's just a drop in the bucket. Oh, moment of dad just constantly, we need rain, we need rain. Well, I'll tell someone about that. Now, we've got tickets to give away. Thanks to Air New Zealand, who are getting broods over from LA for this. We've got tickets, but you've got to nominate someone
Starting point is 01:20:05 who deserves them because the whole idea is that this show is for those. To give back. Yeah. So you can nominate yourself though. Yeah. Mark, good morning. Who are you nominating? I am nominating my neighbour Mike because Mike is a police officer and he
Starting point is 01:20:21 has been working incredibly hard right now. So hard that he hasn't had any time to spend with his new partner. Oh. Wow. So is Mike still working on, you know, the fires and everything? So he's still working on the fires at the moment, just as everything's sort of cooled down a wee bit, and we've had a bit of rain, which has helped a whole bunch down here.
Starting point is 01:20:42 But he had just taken a new job, so his caseloads went through the roof and then in all of his spare time, he was out fighting the virus. Wow. What a legend. All right. So, and you know what?
Starting point is 01:20:52 We're hearing so many stories like that and people just putting their lives on hold to help other people so selflessly. Yeah. It's incredible. So Mark, we will hook him up with some tickets for friends and family and make that happen. Good work, Dean.
Starting point is 01:21:06 All right. Thanks so much for nominating. And if you would like to do that as well, you can go to ZM Online and do that now.
