ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Those, um, just seeing if I can find them. Here's this hail here.
Oh, wow. A friend on Snapchat had it.
You know when they say golf ball size, you're like, yeah.
Are they all actually? But that's just actual golf balls.
Look at that one. In the hand.
Like, that's huge, eh?
That would give you a dunk on my head.
That's in Sydney, in Australia.
When was this?
Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon.
Ten hours ago.
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law,
their car got destroyed by one over New Year's.
Apparently, they got a text message.
They were in New Zealand at the time saying,
cover your cars.
Massive hailstorm predicted.
And so they were like, oh, crap.
So they started texting the neighbours being like,
hey, can you please cover our car too?
They're like, sorry, we're not in town either.
Our car's in the garage.
And they got out and their car was just, the insurance just wrote it off.
Really?
Smashed all the windows, put like hundreds of dents in the roof.
The bonnet was a wreck.
The only panels that weren't were the panels that were like straight down on the sides.
But everything else was just destroyed.
Because that's almost the size of a, like between a golf ball and a tennis ball.
Yeah.
That one.
It's huge.
Australia.
Everything's trying to kill you.
Even the hail.
Even the precipitation.
All right, ZM Secret Sound.
So we had a jackpot yesterday.
Vaughn, you missed this.
Oh, yes.
How much?
$30,000.
$30,000.
So your next chance is coming up at 7 o'clock.
See, we're approaching the price where I would tell my auntie.
Because you do know the Secret Sound.
We are quickly approaching that.
Well, we'll open up an investigation if some auntie wins this.
That's what I'm worried now,
that whoever wins is going to get the nth degree.
Especially because it's New Zealand
and there's two degrees of separation with basically everyone.
Pretty much, no, everyone.
Well, we'll open up an investigation if we suspect an auntie's won.
Megan?
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's Storytime.
Storytime, three news headlines. Quiet, you lot. Listen up. It's story time. Story time.
Three news headlines.
Vaughn and Megan, pick one of the following three headlines.
When you were away sick yesterday, Vaughn, Megan just picked...
She had free reign.
Out of control.
She needs her reign right in.
Decide to come to a joint decision.
Headline one, happy birthday, dad.
Headline two, couple birthday, dad. Headline two,
couple moving on
from argument.
And headline three,
drive-through customer
impatient.
Well,
I know the happy birthday
dad,
the dad that got
the billboard.
His son's got
in the billboard
for his birthday
and said,
wish our dad
a happy birthday.
And he got messages
from all over the world
actually.
Yeah.
But I wondered,
how did he get messages from all over the world when the bill Yeah. But I wondered, how did he get messages from all over the world
when the billboard was stationary in one part of the world?
Have you heard of social media?
Have you heard the internet?
They lap up this sort of thing, Megan.
Lap it up.
I don't like your tone, actually.
I don't like that facetious tone.
That sarcastic tone this morning.
That is amazing.
Someone in one part of the world can see something happening
in another part of the world.
Almost instantly.
Auntie's learning.
I assume a facsimile
must have been sent.
Okay, well you know that one.
So do you want
couple moving on from argument
or drive through impatient?
Couple moving on from argument.
You want that one?
That was cute
We said it at the same time
Same time
Now everybody knows
If I show you this
What would you say?
Oh that's the meme
Where the guy's
Walking with his girlfriend
But he's turning around
And checking out the other girls
In the orange dress
Called the distracted
Boyfriend
The distracted boyfriend meme. Yeah.
That's right. And it's been used. Stock image.
For everything. Yeah. So it was actually
a stock image. Well, you'll be happy to know after that
little fight, because in my head I
assume that, you know, that photo came out
because they're a real couple. They're not though.
That they had a fight because he was perving
at the hot girl. Yeah.
Well, you'll be happy to know that they've moved on now.
And in Hungary,
they're actually on billboards,
the same stock images,
but in different settings.
This one here,
cuddling on a couch.
And look how happy they are.
He's not distracted anymore.
They're actually being used
in billboards for Hungarian,
one of the Hungarian parties,
the ruling party,
for families. a family protection
action plan, which includes tax breaks for mothers of multiple children.
Right.
And so you'll be happy to know that since their argument, distracted boyfriend and his
girlfriend have had kids.
Oh, really?
And are now on billboards.
Oh, no, not really.
But were they the same age or they look older in this one?
No, same age.
Worse if they had kids when he was checking out the other woman.
She must have been pregnant at the time.
Oh, my God.
So apparently he's wearing exactly the same shirt, Fletch.
I know.
Yeah, that's why.
And she's wearing the same, I think, the same top as well.
Is that orange?
So it's fair to assume that's the girlfriend was in kind of like a blue top.
It's the same top.
The happy family photo may have been taken prior to the checking out the other girl photo.
So apparently all of the images, like you could actually go and find them Shutterstock.
And apparently they're really low cost.
So, but I don't know if they knew of distracted girlfriend, boyfriend meme.
In Hungary. In Hungary.
In Hungary.
I've heard this.
They just chucked them up on the billboard and now everyone's like,
ah, you know who those people are.
I've heard of this.
I'm somewhat reluctant to give this out.
Right.
I know, I don't want to.
Oh, you have to now.
You've started.
So, if you go to a store and you see a print that you really like.
Yeah. You know, you go and you'll be like, man, that's a cool print.
Basically, you'll be able to find one that's exactly the same.
If you know someone that works in advertising or who has access to stock image.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's that called?
Shutterstock.
Shutterstock, yeah, yeah.
And you just search the keywords of what you liked about that print,
you'll be able to find one that's more or less the same for nothing
if you know someone that works in
advertising. Yeah, but what
kind of prints are you talking? Like a
newly married couple in an A4 frame?
No, no, no. Like landscape or like a
specific animal. Because
I won't say who.
Someone I know really wanted this
it was a really cool
print of a horse's head.
It was on the horse's body. It wasn't just like cut off. But it was just like the horse's face. And it was a really cool print of a horse's head. Oh yeah. It was on the horse's body
it wasn't just like cut off.
Right.
But it was just like
the horse's face
and it was $800.
Oh yeah.
And it was
it was really
quite a beautiful photo
and somebody else
they knew said
oh let me check at work
because they work at advertising
and they found
almost the identical photo
of a horse's head
which they could access
for nothing
because they had
Shutterstock log on.
They got the highest quality one because
they come in different qualities on
there and printed it out and you
wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Wow. Who do we know on advertising?
People who work in this
building. Upstairs Megan.
Okay. You can use the
internet to talk to them.
We've also got the ability to print on like A1.
Oh, that's good.
Because of the hearing.
So that's still good for something.
We shouldn't have said it on the radio.
I'm whispering that no one would hear this.
They said it happened.
Okay.
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
If you're a Chris Hemsworth fan, the place to be is Byron Bay.
He lives there in his shopping mall.
Has he finished his Westfields yet?
I think so.
It does just look like a Westfield with a car park on the top.
It does.
And it's massive in Byron Bay.
But apparently if you're in Byron Bay, people see him walking around all the time.
It's a small town.
Yeah.
Like it's really tiny.
So you would.
So he was in Western Australia
and popped into a BP.
So he was not only there
with his family,
but him and Matt Damon
just strolled on into a BP.
Does it say what time this was?
Well, there's a photo
with one of the workers. It looks like it's during the day. I can see, like, sun coming Well, there's a photo with one of the workers.
It looks like it's during the day.
I can see the sun's coming in.
Right.
So, yeah, during the day at some time.
Imagine you're just pulling your shift at BP or whatever,
and in walks Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth.
You'd just be like, what is happening?
And one of the workers got a photo with Chris,
and he's, like, huge.
He's like an Adonis.
He looks like a Greek god standing next to this girl.
He looks like a Nordic god, Megan, the god of thunder for himself.
Oh, sorry, Nordic.
Well, you've met him, Bourne.
He's really tall.
I didn't expect him to be that tall.
He'd be like at least 6'4".
He was 6'2"?
2', and yeah, he was taller than him.
So 1'90".
So yeah, he's like 6'4".
Oh my god.
Such a strapping
young man. We were so shocked because
we were in the middle of work and we had to remain
calm and serve customers as well.
And then they asked them what they
bought, and really
surprising, Chris Hemsworth bought a pie
and tomato sauce.
What about Matt Damon?
No, but isn't he? We don't do that anymore.
Isn't he vegan? We don't do that
anymore. You're thinking of the wrong
Hemsworth. You're thinking of Liam Hemsworth. No, I thought
all the Hemsworths were... Well, he might have
bought a vegan pie.
Oh, yeah, good call. Do they have those at BP?
Megan, having just, and you'll
see the evidence soon of my week-long trip
around New Zealand enjoying wild bean kaffees
they do do various
vegan pies
right
sun fed
free chicken
free chicken pies
right
so when he was
training for
Thor
one of the Thor movies
he was a vegan
but I don't know
if he's like
full time vegan
but Liam is
he's a flexitarian
have those two
been in a movie together
Matt Damon
and Chris Hemsworth?
Because, like, if you're a celebrity, like, I'd try to be friends with them.
Like, if you're an A, if you just all of a sudden found yourself,
you're an A-list movie celeb.
They would be the celebs you choose.
Who would you try to be friends with?
Jennifer Lawrence.
Easy.
Oh, you should be fine.
No, but everybody would want to be.
Everybody would.
Ah, Matt Damon was in Thor Ragnarok.
That's right.
He was too.
For like a tiny, tiny cameo.
Did you say Matt Damon?
Yeah.
Matt Damon.
Oh, Matt Damon.
Casual it up if you're going to be friends with him.
You can't be like, hello, Matt Damon.
Damon.
Damon.
Oh, man.
No, but everyone would want to be friends with Jennifer Lawrence.
You'd really have to work your way up to be friends. No, everyone would want to be friends with Jennifer Lawrence. You'd really have to work your way up to be friends.
No, everyone would want to be friends with her too.
Jamelia, Jamil.
Shoot low, Megan.
Oh, like what?
Shoot lower.
You know, you're not really.
Heidi Jenner.
Make friends with a billionaire.
I hear she's looking for a best friend at the moment.
I can step into that void.
I need money.
She needs a best friend at the moment. I can step into that void. I need money. She needs a best friend.
That's weird.
But can you keep your hands off?
The products?
Or no, her sister's boyfriends?
Oh, yeah.
No.
Probably not.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
Very cute story.
And this is homegrown as well.
This is in New Zealand.
That a couple have reached their 70th wedding anniversary
and they've talked
about how they made it. Laura
and Ian McGregor. That's so
many years. I know. And how old
are they? Well. When did they get
married? When they were 15?
They'll be in their 90s now. Right.
Yeah, if they got married in their
20s. Wow, okay.
They'd be at least in their 90s.
It is sad.
There's a tinge of sadness.
Laura has got dementia,
but she's apparently recollection of their life together
is the one thing she's got.
Like if she looks at a photo album,
she can tell you where the photo was taken and everything.
Oh, that's sweet.
So that's pretty cool.
They've been married for 70 years of marriage.
Their marriage would qualify for KiwiSaver.
Alone. Marriage alone. Yeah, I know. Crazy, eh? Pretty cool. They're going to be married for 70 years of marriage. Their marriage would qualify for KiwiSaver. For their KiwiSaver.
Alone.
Marriage alone.
I know.
Crazy, eh?
So they met in the 40s.
And they said the secret to 70 years of having marriage is basically her way was always the right way.
Oh.
Okay.
So he's just a downtrodden man.
He's a beaten man.
He's a beaten man.
He's taken 70 years of hiding.
Listen to her.
She's always right.
Does he look happy or is she doing all the talking?
He does look pretty happy.
He's got a smile on his face.
70 years, that's a good whack, eh?
I know.
But listen, she sounds also like he says her way is always the right way,
but he sounds very well kept.
It's like what my grandparents were like.
Like my granddad had bitch and moan,
but he also didn't know where the Marmite was.
Like that sort of stuff.
So she, they moved to London at one stage
and they had all their kids and stuff
and their summer holidays would be like caravan trips around.
She would prepare six weeks
worth of food for
a seven person family.
How? And what? Freeze it?
I don't know because this was in
a caravan and it would have been in what?
Like the 70s? 60s or
70s? Like how?
How do you prepare that much food?
It's not like now where people are like
just do my meal prep.
And they're making like five grim looking awful boiled chicken.
Steamed vegetable, yuck.
And they're going to freeze it and take one a day.
You get to Friday and everything's soggy.
Meal prep done for a week.
Your broccoli's grey.
I'll just get sushi today.
I'm just going to chuck this in the bin.
Someone's like, oh my God, someone's vomited in the bin.
No, that's just the meal I prepared on Sunday,
they ate on Friday.
So the secret to a long and happy marriage
is doing what you're told.
Yeah, does that work in your marriage?
It's working okay so far.
Working okay.
Except when you're specifically looking for an argument.
Yeah, well, you're not looking for an argument.
Every now and then you need to pretend like you still have a say.
Like when we got this latest dog.
I knew it was happening the minute it got bought up.
Yeah.
But I fought it, I fought it, I fought it.
I knew it was happening.
Yeah.
But you've got to still show that you've got a bit of resistance.
Right.
Otherwise you'll just get steamrolled on everything.
But you know you're getting steamrolled on everything anyway.
FM.
There is a woman that has gone viral.
Her name is Emily O'Connor.
She's 21.
She says she was left
physically shaking
after she was,
well, they threatened
to throw her off a flight,
a Thomas Cook flight.
What's Thomas Cook?
I've never heard
of that airline before.
It's a UK,
Europe kind of deal, yeah.
So they said
they would throw her
off the flight.
I mean, not physically throw her off.
I mean, she would be asked to leave the flight
unless she covered up because she was wearing a crop top.
So she's wearing pants and then it's like a long,
it looks like a long line bra or a crop top.
So you can see maybe like a couple of inches
of the top of her stomach.
And then otherwise the top would appear like a singlet top.
And she was also flying somewhere summery, right?
She was going to a beachy destination.
From Balm to Tenerife?
Tenerife.
Tenerife, that song from Ed Sheeran.
Ed Sheeran.
Yeah.
She said, Thomas Cook told me that they were going to remove me from the flight if I didn't
cover up as I was causing offence and it was inappropriate.
They had four flight staff around me to get my luggage to take me off the plane.
So yeah, basically
they said you need to cover up. It's offensive.
I don't think I would
look twice at her to be honest.
She's beautiful. I just mean like
as in what she's wearing. Yeah, this sounds to me like
someone's wife
caught their husband looking.
She's taken offence. Get that hussy
off the plane.
Does it also, it says flight attendant.
I don't know.
Was it a female or a male?
Sure, I get the feeling that maybe it was a female flight attendant.
Right, right.
But yeah, I don't know.
I don't think it's offensive myself.
Yeah, if she's going somewhere warm It doesn't look
But people wear singlet tops all the time
When you travel right
Yeah
Especially when it's in a warm climate
I mean you can see like
Maybe just a little bit
At the top of your stomach
The unpredictable nature
Of the plane air conditioning
Is your biggest enemy there
Yeah
Sometimes you get on a plane
And we were coming back from
Was it Samoa
We were coming back from
And the plane was like a refrigerator.
It was like the Liquorland
walk-in fridge.
It was freezing cold.
And you were your nips
poking out.
Yeah,
oh,
my nips were more or less
packing their suitcases
to go back to Samoa.
It was so,
so cold on the plane
and yeah,
the sink would have been
no place for a singlet.
Alright,
so Chris,
Chris Harder's coming up
soon,
the Activator,
$30,000
is the current jackpot.
If you can tell us
what this sound is.
Easy, right? Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.
Hello there.
Today's Top Six deals with the fact that Paleo Pete Evans,
Pete from My Kitchen Rules, excuse me,
is promoting a podcast at the moment,
a podcast that questions vaccines,
which if you can read between the lines
is what people say when they're anti-vaccination.
We're asking the right questions about vaccines.
And at the moment with measles,
by the way, this is a worldwide thing,
by the way, measles.
I know, it's crazy, isn't it?
This isn't just a New Zealand
or one or two places situation. There's a worldwide shortage of the
measles vaccine. And it kills people.
It kills children. It kills children, the people that can't get vaccinated fully.
They can get emergency,
you can get more urgent vaccinations where they push them a little bit closer.
But the old people,
the people with suppressed immune systems,
for whatever reason,
there's people that literally can't be vaccinated.
I don't know why this is even a conversation.
Why is this happening?
It kills children.
Vaccinate your children.
Italy now won't let children go to school
unless they're vaccinated.
Yeah.
And Dr. Lance Sullivan,
a man I've got a lot of time for,
good man,
he said that it should be the same here. and, well, he was wearing it yesterday.
Right.
But Paleo Pete shared a podcast that said, basically,
they were asking the right questions about vaccinations.
So these are the top six things that medically qualified Paleo Pete
to give anti-vaccination medical advice.
Number six, there was that time that he said dairy strips calcium from your bones
and fluoride does not prevent cavities.
It's a neurological poison.
Where does he get this from?
He does years of scientific research, I believe.
You might say, Vaughan, what are the top six things that qualify you to say this?
Well, I just found these points that he backed up himself.
You know I really wanted to put something in there about earthing
and crystals, but I couldn't find the evidence.
He might be into crystals,
but I couldn't find this morning an
article where he was saying to,
but he will still proudly say that dairy
strips calcium from
your bones, and
fluoride doesn't prevent cavities. Although
since fluoride has been added to water,
there's been remarkably less cavities in people.
He believes it's a neurological poison,
which it might be if you just drank a cup of straight fluoride.
Yeah.
Diluted situation.
Now that's a contentious issue too.
It's been a while since the old fluoride debate read its head in New Zealand.
I reckon we're due for one this year.
This might actually start it.
Yeah.
After the measles.
After we sort out the measles.
Oh yeah, let's get measles sorted then talk about rotting teeth.
Number five on the top six things
that medically qualify paleo Pete
to give anti-vaccination medical advice.
Remember that time he said
that sunscreen was toxic
in an interview with Seven's
Sunday night current affairs program
where 1.4 million people watched?
That's right.
Yeah, he did.
He said sunscreen's toxic.
As opposed to skin cancer and dying.
Yeah, those things are
not toxic though, are they?
They're just deadly.
Number four on the list of the top six things
that medically qualify paleo Pete to give anti-vax medical advice.
There was the time he took to Facebook to write a 2,100 word rant
about how switching to paleo could prevent a wide range of medical conditions,
including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, and cure autism.
The word cure, not just prevent, but cure was used.
And all the doctors are like, hold on.
You just can't say that, mate.
You just can't say these sorts of things.
Number three on the list of the top six things that qualify paleo Pete
to give anti-vax advice.
At the time, he stated that the whole notion
of eating three meals a day wasn't healthy,
but rather a concept created
to help a multinational food industry
stay in business by keeping the population craving carbs.
So if I don't eat more than three times a day,
try dealing with me.
I know you see the people doing the fasting.
Yeah.
And then they break it with a big meal,
but that's crazy.
They're not used to deal with people
when they're at their really hungry stages
and they're getting really grumpy.
Number two on the list of today's top six things
that medically qualify a paleo Pete
to give us vaccination advice.
He's scared of Wi-Fi.
They turn the Wi-Fi off at home at night
and their house is EMF friendly.
What does that mean?
Electromagnetic field. Oh, right.
If people are not educated themselves,
they should do this. EMFs are causing a lot of
issues for people. He sounds like so much fun
to be around. So much fun.
So much fun. But then, you know, how do you
wake up in the morning and see your notifications?
You don't. You've got to get up and turn
the Wi-Fi on. Assuming the phone that you've been sleeping with right beside your head all night
has been running 4G.
Yeah, true.
And number one on today's top six times that Paleo Pete was qualified
to give us anti-vaccination advice.
The time he insisted that bone broth was best for babies who can't take human milk.
He said it was better than formula.
Pediatricians slammed this as bone broth contains levels of vitamin A
with the potential to kill babies.
So they said don't give your baby bone broth.
No, babies don't eat bone broth.
Don't be doing bone broth.
Also, bonus, but I couldn't find a picture of him,
but his wife, he was in his undies with horses.
Like,
she was naked,
they were having a little head-to-head time
with horses
and he was in his undies.
Really like horses.
Yeah.
I mean,
we all kind of can appreciate
a horse, can't we?
I'm not getting naked around one.
They might think
my penis is a little wee carrot.
Baby carrot.
And off it goes.
That's today's top six.
Well,
it happened yesterday. It was about this time. FEM. Well, it happened yesterday.
It was about this time it was down.
Facebook, Instagram, Messenger.
And I think it took until about...
Was it WhatsApp as well?
Because I tried sending a photo on WhatsApp and it would not go through.
Well, they're all the same.
They're all owned by the same.
Owned by Facebook.
But messages would go through but not photos.
Right.
Yeah, and that was the thing with Facebook Messenger. Sometimes things would go through, but not photos. Right. Yeah, and that was the thing with Facebook Messenger.
Sometimes things would work.
Yeah, and then I tried to send a photo to our Messenger,
and it wouldn't work.
It was very...
It was heartbreaking, wasn't it?
It was so hard yesterday, guys.
Megan said the photo you tried to send through,
I'm not going to say what it was, so don't give me that look,
but you said,
huh, interesting, given our conversation the other day, dot, dot, dot,
and then nothing.
And I was like, what?
Because I didn't know anything was down.
And then I went back and I was like, oh, hang on, the picture didn't say.
Yeah, and I was like, oh, phew.
I just thought I'd totally missed a good like eight parts of a conversation.
I was trying to play catch up.
That's what I mean.
It was hard yesterday.
Yeah.
Really affected my life. So it would have been hours. It was hard yesterday. Yeah. Really affected my life.
So it would have been hours.
The biggest outage, I think, in memory.
Six hours, I think, from start to end.
Mid-afternoon kind of New Zealand time is when it all kind of came back online.
And what is the meaning of this?
What is the meaning of this?
Has Mark...
You've disrupted the kingdom.
I'm just calling him Mark now because...
What did they say at the time that there was an outage because of maintenance?
But I'm not buying that.
That sounds like a rubbish excuse.
People are saying maybe they were hacked or there was some kind of, you know.
Hack attack.
Hack attack.
So they were doing maintenance on all of them for six hours at the same time.
Well, I don't buy it because people are saying this is their biggest Facebook outage in history.
Right.
I've just tried to find some stats online about how much they lost.
Projected average daily revenue is about $189 million
based on 2009 sales estimates.
Is that for everything or just Facebook?
No, Facebook.
Oh, my God.
So you think about it, if it was a quarter of that or a third of that?
So if they're doing maintenance, they want to smash that out in 10 minutes.
You know Mark Zuckerberg was there having an absolute meltdown.
Something went down.
Well, what about me?
I went to the Casey Clinic.
But how would we know?
Exactly.
Okay.
They microdermabrasion me.
They microdermabrasion me, Megan, on the pre-VZU that I'm able to tell people I've just had my face microdermabrasion.
Very good.
At the car seat.
I've never done it.
You're just angry that you've never had it done.
I'm not angry that I've never had it done.
The next thing we know it'll be like, swipe up, you've come born. No, you you gunning for like a... No, I'm not angry that I've never had it done. The next thing we know, it'll be like,
it was my part, but you just came born for...
No, you do your waxing somewhere different.
You were already an influencer, a beauty influencer, babes.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
But that was all because I got the nose,
my nose hairs removed, and it was a funny video.
Yeah, yeah.
But you're right, though.
There would have been some influencers...
Oh, yeah.
Oh, just very put out yesterday.
How am I going to put up 10,000 Instagram stories?
How will they know what I'm doing?
What if nobody cares?
I think it inconveniences advertisers,
but Facebook only charge on how many views
or how many hits you're getting.
And so until those are achieved,
it just sort of being delayed, those kind of...
Right.
You know what I mean?
Those stats.
Someone share a tweet from...
I can say Pornhub now.
I saw someone share a tweet from Pornhub.
I said it now.
Did their stats go through the roof?
Yeah, they were like,
who's the most reliable site on the
internet now?
That's all they needed
to say.
I remember they
released stats after
the big hurricane or
the big cold freeze
that happened.
Oh, the polar vortex.
Yeah, the polar vortex
and everyone just
went to that site.
Humanity, whenever
anything like Instagram
or Facebook go down,
there's a cold freeze.
If it's too cold
outside, Pornhub.
If it's too hot outside, Pornhub. Facebook's down. You. It's too cold outside, Pornhub. It's too hot outside, Pornhub.
Facebook's down.
You don't want to go outside, Pornhub.
It's late at night.
You're outside, Pornhub.
Everyone else is at work.
Yeah, Pornhub.
Do you know what else happened?
You've got 15 minutes.
Pornhub.
15 minutes.
Do you know what else happened?
I had a lot of time.
Canterbury Police Facebooked yesterday saying,
please don't call 111.
But police communications around the world were saying,
stop calling us.
We can't fix Facebook and Instagram.
Around the world or America?
Around the world.
There were a couple around the world, not just America.
Really?
I don't know if Canterbury Police were tongue in cheek.
It felt like it.
They did good lulls.
Surely no one in New Zealand called the police because they couldn't.
Oh, you know what?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Welcome one, welcome all to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast,
brought to you by Spark.
Get four gigs of bonus data on Spark's $49 prepaid value pack.
Now, on with the podcast.
This is really cool.
There is a food-sharing, waste-reducing app.
It's kind of like Tinder for food waste.
And you can sign up and basically if you have anything you want to offer up that you don't need
or maybe there's more than you need of or you're just not using it,
you can offer it up on the app and people can take it or...
And then you go on a date with the person that's giving you the food.
Is that why it's Tinder for...
I mean, you'll meet people who's to say what will happen from there.
That was actually much better than I was expecting.
Where's that leftover meatloaf?
I'll be off.
You said you had two sizzlers left over.
The app is called Oleo.
Oleo.
Okay.
And it's a New Zealand thing?
Yeah.
Well, it's arrived in New Zealand and basically, yeah,
you put up food or like anything, tea, I mean, anything consumable.
So, for example, this picture you've got here of a packet of tea
that someone's put on the app.
Yeah.
How much is a packet of tea at like $2?
I don't know. I've never, I can't. Like a box of tea bags much is a packet of tea at like $2?
I don't know.
I've never, I can't.
Like a box of tea bags. Like a box of tea bags.
Like $3?
I don't know, man.
That's really weird.
I've never thought about it.
Because you just grab it, don't you?
I'll go.
I'm going to go to, I'll go to countdown.
Okay.
What kind of tea do you want?
What kind of tea is it?
This is a Mai Chai tea.
Oh, okay.
And it's like, what, how many tea bags?
20?
25.
It's unopened.
But my point is, whether or not it's $3 or $4, whatever.
No, but I don't think they're selling it.
I think it's to give away.
No, I know.
Do you want Del Mar or Bell?
Or Choicer?
Del Mar.
We'll go Del Mar.
Del Mar.
This was a red seal.
This was a cricket propaganda.
This was red seal.
Red seal.
Red seal.
Say it's worth $3
and there's half a box of teabags.
Is it worth petrol
going all the way across town
to pick up 10 teabags
and then,
you know what I'm saying?
Well, I guess
they put their location
so I guess
you can assess.
Right, go local.
Yeah, ones that are around you
or if you're going that way.
I'm all for this.
I love the idea of like community
fridges that are popping up that you see
and people going, hey, put the food in.
We have a produce swap. Yeah. How often do you
buy stuff, especially on a Sunday? You're like,
I'm going to be so healthy this week and buy all my
meals. And then you get to like
Wednesday and you're like, I really want dumplings.
This food can wait. But then
that's all good
for non-perishables,
but you could have gone and put like,
because you know how you buy vegetables
and then you put them in that part of your fridge
and then they go brown?
And then they go into a liquid.
They just liquefy.
Yeah, leave them there long enough.
It's like a little terra, what are those things called?
Terra firma.
No, pterodactyl.
Pteranium.
Pteranium, yes, close.
Pteranium.
Pterarium.
It's a tiny ecosystem. Yeah, it's a little tiny ecosystem. Then someium, yes. Close. Terrarium. Terrarium. Yeah. It's a tiny ecosystem in there.
Yeah, it's a little tiny little ecosystem.
Then some fruit flies get in there.
It's a miracle of life.
Yeah.
But those wouldn't last outdoors in those outdoor.
A lot of those outdoor community pantries have some fridge options.
Really?
Yeah, I've seen an outdoor fridge.
Obviously, it was like covered up and stuff.
Solar powered?
No, I don't think so.
Or just like a big pile of styrene. No, it was a proper old fridge. Obviously, it was like covered up and stuff. Solar powered? No, I don't think so. Or just like a big pile of styrene.
No, it was a proper old fridge.
Was it?
Great idea.
Because then, you know, if you have half a container of milk and you're going away on
holiday or whatever, you can just put it in there.
Someone's going to use it.
It's not wasted.
You frequent some affluent neighbourhoods.
If anyone's got money, just the power.
Who's powering?
They had one in the city downtown for a while.
So the rate payers are paying for your fridge, are they?
Well, there'll be words.
But this is a really good idea.
And like they said as well, you can, I don't know about the legality of like baking something.
It's like less than 5% of what goes up is cooked things.
So like a curry or a lasagna or whatever.
Right.
And then you can just be like, yeah, I'll have that.
Okay.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Now today, this just isn't happening in New Zealand,
this is happening around the world,
but students are striking for climate change
to show the older generation that the people
who will inherit the earth aren't exactly stoked
with the shitty condition we're living in.
That's true.
Nicely put, Vaughan.
Yeah.
Nicely put.
They're like, so we're going to. Nicely put, Horne. Nicely put.
So we're going to be in that flat next year and you've kind of kicked holes in the walls and set everything on fire and left the fridge door open and the wood running.
So that's striking to show that they're serious about it.
Now joining us on the phone to talk about this, one of the students striking for climate
change.
Michaela, good morning.
Morning.
Now, have you done any striking before? Or is industrial action running the family? I actually
haven't. This is my first one, so I'm actually really excited.
Have you made any great banners or posters?
My school, we've made a giant banner thing and I've also made a
little cardboard poster as well.
Do you have a zippy zangy saying on your little cardboard poster, like a good little chant?
On my one, I just said we stand with Greta, which is like the Greta Thunberg girl who
started the whole thing.
All right.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
So is your school okay with this or they've just got to roll with it?
Well, we actually have about 60 students going
So it did take a little bit of time
But they were really happy with it
Of those 60 students
How many kind of just wanted the time off school?
Because I get it
And there's the passionate ones like yourself
And I commend you and I tip my hat
to you but if it was me I would have been kind
of into it but I also would have wanted a day off school.
We made
sure that there was an actual lesson
and we're taking a roll when we're all like
meeting so then if anyone does ditch
then they'll be marked unjustified which is
pretty good. Unjustified?
Oh it's no walk in the park
day off today with Michaela on roll call.
Right.
That's cool.
Okay, so that's an answer for the people
who are just saying this is just a way of getting a day off.
You've actually got to be protesting.
Watch out, guys.
Just not be at school.
So what school are you from?
I'm at Long Bay College.
Okay.
That's on the shore.
That's on the North Shore of Auckland. And do you know,
are there other schools on the North Shore? Like, have you been communicating with other
schools in the area? I haven't, but I'm sure there's so many. So basically, what's your,
like, main message? What are you guys trying to push today? We're basically just trying to,
like, put awareness out there that we actually have to start acting now
because I feel like the more we don't do anything,
the sooner the conditions on the earth will get worse and worse
and temperatures are already rising a lot,
which is pretty serious because every temperature rise
is like another ice cap that's like starting to melt.
Do you get into arguments with old people that deny climate change?
Does that make you angry?
It does, but sometimes I just got to respect other people's opinions,
but then still like fight for what I believe in as well.
My God.
Oh my God.
What was I doing at 15?
This next generation's got balance.
Respect. well my god oh my god what was i doing this next generation's got balance respect these people that don't believe in climate change or flat earthers or anti-vaxxers and i
just i'm instantly i can't argue with them i just say you're stupid i'm not wasting my time yeah
yeah what are you gonna do they've learned that that's not working no it's not no it's not well
um it's uh yeah i mean we, we're all on board with this.
I completely support what you're doing.
And, yeah.
Good luck out there.
Soldier.
Fletch used to wag school for hot chocolates.
So the fact that you guys are doing this for an actual purpose is a lot more meaningful.
Yeah.
I know.
And think about all the polystyrene cups my hot chocolates came in.
I was actually probably contributing to this problem.
Yeah.
Sorry about him, Michaela.
We're learning.
We are, we are.
All right.
Now, yesterday, intern Anya noticed something
a hair at work, didn't you?
What?
Yeah.
You did?
Thank you, Fletch, for turning on your microphone.
Ah, that wasn't me.
Good to be here, guys. Was that Caitlin? No, it was Fletch. It was, Fletch, for turning on your microphone. That wasn't me. Good to be here, guys.
Was that Caitlin?
No, it was Fletch.
It was definitely Fletch.
Caitlin's given up.
She just threw her arms up.
She doesn't know what's going on.
Fair enough.
You noticed something here at work that you brought to the group chat
and we said, oh, this must be discussed.
Yeah, I was aghast in the toilet yesterday.
The work toilets, we've got four cubicles in the ladies' bathroom.
Is that all?
Because we've got four and we've got the wee-wee spots as well.
Yeah, but we don't have urinals.
Yeah, right.
Oh, that does seem unfair, though.
Yeah.
What do you do with the other wall?
There's, like, wash your hands on it.
You know, like, there's mirrors and basins.
Yeah, we've got some of those, too.
How many basins do you have?
Three?
Oh, we've only got two. Oh, okay? Three? Oh, we've only got two.
Oh, okay.
Oh, no, we've only got two.
I don't know.
So we've got
two extra places
to do weas.
Yeah, what have you seen?
I go there like three times a day.
Disabled toilet.
Yeah.
And then three ordinary toilets.
And then two other urinals.
And two urinals.
Yeah, but are they
on the side wall?
Yeah.
So we've got
plenty of room.
We've got two extra places
to do weas.
We've got six
urinary
depositories. That's why there's always a queue for the toilet.
That doesn't seem fair,
does it? No, it's never fair
for us. That's what we're used to.
Life.
Pee in the basin. No, I'm kidding. I've never done that.
Anyway, what? Anyway.
I know someone that tried that and the basin
broke off underneath them.
Oh, ouch. That's a bad day.
No, it's a bad day.
Hamilton?
Yep.
Yep.
Any grim story you have, I know it's from your Hamilton day.
It was a weird sink too.
It was in someone's bedroom.
What?
Weird, there was a basin in a bedroom and someone sat up on it.
Well, luckily it wasn't that that you noticed, Anya.
Yeah, so I wasn't weighing in the basin. I'd. Yeah, so I wasn't weeing in the basin.
I'd just like to clarify at this point.
Just in the cubicle, door shut, locked.
And I heard some spraying
and I was like, oh, okay.
Someone's obviously maybe got in change,
maybe doing a deodorant top up. That's
pill beans. Marking the territory
spraying. Yeah, but then also I just
heard them doing their business. Right.
So I was like, this is an unusual sequence of
events. And then
the little Glade
air freshener can rolled under
my door.
And I was like, well, here we are.
So politely scooted it back on
over. Just kicked it back over?
Yeah. Okay.
And I was intrigued at this point because there's never
ever any air fresheners in the toilet.
And I was like, oh, maybe they've just put it in.
Maybe it's just in that cubicle.
Maybe someone's left it behind.
So I did an investigation after she left and she took it with her.
So she must be running a BYO air freshener operation.
But that would suggest that they're a regular pooper.
Yeah, how bad are your poops?
How confident are you that you're going to stink it out?
That you're bringing it?
I just wait until everyone's left and then leave real quick if I've done a stinker.
You know, you try not to at work, don't you?
I avoid doing at work at all costs, but...
Huh.
No comment.
To be way out, like, because that would take up a lot of handbag real estate.
Oh, for sure.
Do you think they keep it at their desk in a drawer?
And when they need to go to the toilet, they just whip that out into the handbag?
The one we're thinking of, like a tall, coloured lid.
Yeah, like a big unit.
Not like a handbag size.
Yeah, I know.
It should have been great, but no.
Yeah, it was a full kahona.
Okay.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
But yeah, even if you left it in your desk, you would have to then sneak it in
because nobody's going to be like,
oh, Deirdre, you're off to the...
Nobody here called Deirdre, is there?
No.
That's why I chose the name Deirdre.
Right.
Because we don't have any Deirdres working here.
Oh, Deirdre, off to the loo, are you?
She's got her glade in hand.
No, no, no.
You'd have to sneak it in.
She'd put it into a purse and take the purse
because no question's asked
if you're taking the handbag into the toilet.
Yeah.
Hang it on the little hook on the...
Do you guys have hooks on the back of your doors? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Hang it on the little hook. Do you guys have hooks
on the back of your doors?
Yeah.
Oh, quality.
Hang it on the hook.
And then she could reach up,
spray it around.
Yeah.
But then you,
BYO to work,
it's not toilet spray
but you bring your own Makona
because you're a coffee,
an instant coffee snob.
Because instant coffee,
they use the budget stuff.
Yeah.
It's low end.
And that's real nice.
I like that stuff.
Whereas I'll drink a Greg's Red Rib,
and I feel like it gives me a connection to the tradies listening.
Sometimes I'll drink it out of one of those brown glass cups as well.
One of those Pyrex cups.
Pyrex, yeah.
Tradie cups.
Yes.
Oh, God, that's disgusting,
but I've got to get through this bloody day.
So you BYO.
You said if I was a tradie, I'd BYO coffee as well.
I'd BYO my phone. I'm laughing for a start, because I You see, if I was a tradie, I'd BYU coffee as well. I'd BYU my phone.
I'm laughing for a start
because I can't ever imagine
you being a tradie.
Are you kidding?
I'd be a great tradie.
My dad's a builder.
Yeah, I know.
It's in the blood.
Skip degeneration.
Yeah.
You'd be like,
ah, ah, I hit my finger.
It's a recessive chain
and it's,
it might be in there
but it's certainly not active.
It's like baldness
that skips a generation.
Or blue eyes.
Yeah, it might be there but it's certainly not active It's like baldness It skips a generation Or blue eyes Yeah
It might be there
But it's not necessarily active
I did some work
And your hands get real dirty
Like when I was standing
And plastering and painting
I was like
This is so yuck
And like
You get sick of standing
It's like
People stand all day
And I was like
Standing and my arm got sore
And I was like
Oh I know
You're holding things.
Good Lord, it's holding.
I mean, that's why I was a tradie.
I definitely need lots of coffee breaks.
So I would have BYO coffee.
Yeah, BYO coffee.
You'd probably take your own thermos.
What's in a thermos?
I'm not sharing.
But I'm going to draw the line at BYO air spray to work.
That's a bit grim.
Yeah.
Well, on the back of it, we wanted to know what you BYO to work.
Or what someone you work with BYO's to work. Yeah, that, on the back of it, we wanted to know what you BYO to work or what someone you work with
BYO's to work. Yeah, that's a little unusual.
Maybe, but maybe work is a bit tight ass
and you do need to bring something to work
just to make your sanity, just to
kind of, I guess, please your sanity.
See, I think, I don't know what the ladies
loo papers like, but I think if you're
bringing your own Glade, you'd probably be bringing your own
three-ply. We're not running
a three-ply game here,
are we?
No.
We're two-ply.
It's very coarse.
Very.
If you had a sensitive...
Do you know sometimes
we get those like
soft paper towels
and it must be like
when we're desperate
because they only last a day
and then they're back
to those old like
hard crusty ones.
To wipe with?
No, on your hands.
Oh, like when you wipe
your hands dry.
Oh, God, I was going to say
that's like at a flat
and how I lived in Hamilton.
We're running a handy towel game there in the toilet for a while.
Also not good for plumbing.
No, not good for plumbing.
All right, so give us a call.
0800-DARLS-AT-M.
You can text 9696.
What are you BYO to work?
We're talking about what you have to...
Whoa.
I came in real hot there.
I even noticed it myself.
You've had a couple of coffees.
I just had my first coffee for two days.
I used to. Oh, I thought that was
your second. No, that was my first.
Okay.
Dispersing in your veins.
It's working. I feel like Captain Marvel.
It's all
coming out. So we're talking about what
there it is again. You have to take to work
because maybe work doesn't
provide it or work is providing a substandard product.
In Tanania, caught somebody bringing their own air freshener
to the toilets and then leaving.
They leave it either in their purse or their desk.
They wouldn't have taken it in their handbag.
It's very thoughtful, though, when you think about it.
It is.
You know, like you're neutralising the air.
That's for the people coming after.
Some text messages saying,
somebody at my husband's work has BYO'd their own Nespresso machine.
But they've drilled a hole in it and put a padlock through the bit.
You know the bit that you slide back and you put the thing in there
and slide it forward.
They've put a padlock in it so you can't use it.
Only they can use it.
That's like, I've got this wonderful thing.
Like, that's dangling in front of everyone's faces.
You wouldn't want someone else.
I'd put it in a drawer.
I wouldn't want everyone using that.
I mean, you guys fine, but not everyone in the office, like 200 people.
Yeah, because then you'd end up buying all the capsules too.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah.
Somebody said, I carry perfume in my purse for when I poop.
Oh, yep.
Have a little squirt.
That includes at work.
And people often say, oh, the toilet smells lovely today.
And it's always nice to hear that straight after you've done a dump.
Do you know, because we have the fart neutraliser in the studio.
The Britney Spears fart neutraliser.
You should just take that to the toilet when you go.
No, but we need that in here.
That's enough to share.
But I know it was coming in the other day and Vaughan dropped his guts
and we had to spray the Britney.
I was like, quake spray.
I don't know.
It was the lady from Married at First Sight.
From Married at First Sight.
Oh, God.
All right, let's take some calls.
Janelle, what do you have to be way out of work?
My own miniature keyboard and miniature mouse.
I feel like that should be provided.
What's a miniature keyboard look like?
Well, it's just tiny.
I'm going to have to Google this.
Miniature keyboard.
Are you connecting it to a laptop or a normal computer?
No, it's wireless.
It's possibly for children. Okay.
But I have tiny hands and tiny little T-Rex arms and the ones that work are about three and a half metres long.
And I just don't have to stretch my arms right out to be able to type. So work alike, well, you've got to use this keyboard,
this normal-sized human keyboard.
We're not helping you out.
We're the miniature one.
No, no.
It's not our fault you've got tiny arms.
Did you have to buy your own?
Did you see you had to buy your own?
They didn't provide you with that to take home.
No, no.
I had to do a bit of re-read and found it on Trade Me.
I think it was about $15.
I'm just looking for it.
I just found them.
The reason I was going to ask if you bought it,
because it seems to be a very popular brand in Manila.
It's your keyboard.
The MC Site?
You don't know your brand?
I don't know.
Have a look at your little purse.
I can't believe they're like, it's not our fault you've got tiny arms.
Yeah, I'd take them to HR and say you're giving me a carpal tunnel
or whatever wrist thing.
It's arm shaming.
How do you put up with that?
It's carpal, not carpool.
It's like carpal karaoke, carpal tunnel syndrome.
Is it not that?
Janelle, thanks for your call.
Anita, what do you have to bring to work?
I have to bring my own toilet paper.
I only wish the boys would bring me a fresh nut.
So you've got a unisex toilet?
Yeah, I work in a yard with all these truckies.
Oh!
So that grows.
Yeah, because you know the truckie diet, it's all V and pies, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, and it's disgusting.
Right.
The marks they leave in that toilet.
They don't even clean up.
Oh, Nita.
They don't.
No clean up in aisle four, I tell you.
So do you bring your own toilet paper because it's, like, nicer?
Well, no, they steal it and they put it in their truck
so they don't have to use the stuff in the port-a-loos
when they go to a site.
Oh, my God.
Because that stuff in the port-a-loos is rank, apparently,
so they make the good stuff.
If they're leaving the depot's toilets in an absolute state,
you should ban them.
Put a lock on it so they have to go and get the key
so there can be some accountability
as to who's doing all the skids.
Well, that's right. Or else I could put a port-a. So there can be some accountability as to who's doing all the skids. Well, that's right.
Or else I could put a portal over there for me exclusively.
Take my own paper, my own toilet and lock that.
They can't get in there.
Yeah, see, I don't know if I had my own portal over,
if even I'd still like that.
They're too gourmet and always, like, worry that someone's going to tip it over on me.
Yeah.
And it'd be sweet because whenever you go in a portal over,
you can always blame someone else, but you can't.
Yeah, because you'll be blaming yourself.
Anita, thanks so much for your call.
Other things that people have to take to work.
Somebody said our office
decided it would be great to get fish but then the
boss said he wasn't going to pay
for the fish food. So rather
than slowly watching fish die,
I've been feeding these fish for over a year.
Oh, that's really sad.
Someone said I BYO Dilmar tea to work
because work only provides bell and that's for trash.
Some high tea snobbery there.
Some high tea snobbery.
Someone hides Dilmar in the cupboard out there
and I'm like, oh, I see your stash.
I could probably say the same thing with my,
I've got my Makona Classic.
Yeah.
Which is five on the scale.
They do a scale of one to ten darkness or intensity.
Oh, I knew that.
I, five, not too high.
Somebody else said,
I'm a teacher
and I've got an espresso
and mini fridge in my classroom.
And whenever there's
talk about teachers
not being paid enough,
I have to hide it,
even though they were both gifts.
Friday Flashback.
Little bit delayed with our Friday flashback,
but it is a tradition.
Yes, it is.
We start Fridays with a song that must be at least 10 years old.
When I found out this song was over 10 years old,
it blew my mind.
Came out on February 3rd, 2009.
Okay.
The song.
It went platinum.
So that's pretty good for a song, isn't it?
It was nominated
for the best rap collaboration
at the 52nd Grammy Awards.
Dad's chosen a rap collab.
Okay.
How's this gonna go?
Squeeze me.
It was,
it's been referenced
many a time.
Yep.
Especially anytime anybody is on a sea-based vessel.
One of the artists was in the headlines again recently
when they were unmasked as the monster on that US show.
This is great.
I can't believe this song's 10 years old.
From the album Incredibad, which was an amazing album,
from start to end,
The Lonely Island featuring T-Pain, I'm on a boat.
Yes!
ZM.
Get your towels ready, it's about to go down.
Everybody in the place hit the open deck.
But stay on your mother's toes.
We running this.
Let's go.
I'm on a boat.
I'm on a boat.
Everybody look at me, because I'm sailing on a boat.
I'm on a boat.
I'm on a boat.
Take a good hard look at the mother boat.
I'm on a boat, mother.
Oh, take a look at me.
Straight floating on a boat on the deep blue sea.
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat.
Captain Garnett, anything is possible.
Yeah, I never thought I'd be on a boat.
It's a big blue watery road.
Yeah, I started, look at me.
I never thought I'd see the day. I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat Everybody look at me cause I'm sailing on a boat
I'm on a boat, I'm on a boat.
It's 10 years old and that song made it impossible for you to go on a boat
without thinking of that song or putting it on your Instagram story and choosing select song,
I'm on a boat.
And remember when Bourne used to always wear like that Pashmina?
Pashmina?
Oh, I was like, you've got your nautical theme.
Pashmina Afghan.
Yeah.
It wasn't nautical themed.
No.
I wanted to buy you anchor one.
Yeah.
Just so I could sing that.
I've got a thing of bringing that back this winter.
Do it.
Pashmina Afghan.
Just so I can sing it to you. Because people didn't know, but this winter. Do it. With a coat. Pashmina or Afghan. Just so I can sing it to you.
Because people don't know, but I would always put,
I would fill it up with Olbis oil.
And like a Vicks.
Yeah, it would clear my nasal passages during the winter months.
Because I melted my sinuses using nasal spray.
You sounded fashionable when you said that.
A practical fashion.
Add some Vicks to my scarf.
Practical fashion.
Feedback.
First time I've ever heard that song.
Man, that is good.
Are you kidding me?
What?
Where have you been?
Let's assume that comes from an eight-year-old.
Watch the music video.
That's even better.
So good.
I've been singing this song all week because my boss is going on a cruise next week.
Brilliant.
What the heck is this?

I just ignore them, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I don't need to be brought down.
We've just given away $30,000.
We've sung the boat song.
Yeah.
And I'm happy.
Well, I don't want to bring the party down,
although this could be awesome for someone
who doesn't want to admit that this is something they do.
But a dermatologist has claimed that there is an easy trick
to boost your immune system.
It's something we can all do.
It's whether you want to do it or not.
Pick your nose and then consume.
Eat your bugs.
I'm always telling my kids off for doing this,
but as a child, I was a big fan of a pick and eat.
Yeah.
So there is a dermatologist and she's from Denver, Colorado.
She's advising people should also eat food
after you've dropped it on the floor
because it promotes the good bacteria.
You know, like you always say, it helps your immunity.
You're picking food off the floor.
If you're eating your boogers,
it's actually good for your immune system.
So it's like a vaccination is what you're saying, Megan.
If I want to vaccinate against measles,
should I eat the snot of someone with measles?
Isn't it the whole point that your nose cleans,
like it gathers the dust and dirt and like yuckies,
so it doesn't go inside?
Yeah, it's like that's our filtration system.
Yeah.
So then you're like picking it out of the filtration system and then just eating it anyway.
But yeah.
So it's like opening up the cover of your heat pump and licking it.
Taking out the filters and then like.
All right.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about a man called Cecil Chubb.
What did old Chubby do?
Old Chub Chubs.
He was a very wealthy man.
Created a security business.
He didn't actually, but spelt the same way.
Double B.
Right.
Okay.
Double B.
He was a wealthy man.
He was a barrister, not a barista.
Okay. One does law stuff, the other a wealthy man. He was a barrister, not a barista. Okay.
One does law stuff, the other makes delicious coffee.
They love that when they've done six years of law
and you call them a barrister.
A barista.
A barista.
So he was quite a wealthy man.
And in 1915, he purchased Stonehenge.
Huh.
Okay.
For his wife as a present.
Right.
Let that go down.
He said, hello, wife.
I've bought you a present.
She said, oh, I love presents.
What is it?
And he said, it's Stonehenge.
And she's like, I don't like it.
I don't like it.
The reason he bought it for his wife,
well, he was going to name the area and the park around it after her,
and they were going to own the land, the Stonehenge.
Mrs. Chubb Park.
He was worried about a rich foreigner buying it
and taking the stones overseas.
Right.
He didn't believe that the stones had any magical powers,
but he just thought it's a very important part of British heritage
that it remained where it is.
So he bought that in 1915 for around about,
what would be around about a million New Zealand dollars today.
That's a lot back then.
It was 6,000 pounds back in the day,
but modern currency, he got it for a million bucks.
Wow, okay.
Which is a bit of a steal, really, for a national heritage site.
Anyway, three years later,
after he probably said to his wife,
still want Stonehenge?
Didn't want it in the first place.
Just thought I'd check again.
He gifted it to Britain.
He gifted it to the people of Britain.
All because of his ungrateful wife,
who didn't want the
expensive thing. But, you know, whatever.
He spent all this money on it and stuff and he put a little bit of thought in it.
He didn't really put too much thought in it.
No.
It was like he bought it and then he also realised it was his anniversary
and he was like, I got you a big rock.
Got you a huge rock.
She's imagining a ring.
Yeah.
Some sort of decorative piece of jewellery.
Yeah.
And it's a large medieval aged wizard circle.
She's like, that don't like it.
So today's fact of the day
is a man once bought his wife Stonehenge
as a present.
Fact of the day, day, day,
day, day.
In studio, we have a special guest joined by Cherise from Heartbreak Island.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Oh, and so close to Megan, the enemy.
Oh.
Okay.
So my cousin, by marriage, so that's my husband's cousin, but we're a very close family.
Trevon was on Heartbreak Island.
And why did he leave Heartbreak Island, Cherise? Oh, he just wasn't having a very close family. Trevon was on Heartbreak Island. And why did he leave Heartbreak Island, Cherise?
Oh, he just wasn't having a very good time.
I could see it in his eyes.
Had to let him go.
Hard to have a good time with a knife in your back, though, isn't it?
Cherise!
Sorry, what?
You switched him out.
He was heartbroken.
He needed to go.
He's too nice for that show.
He's too nice, yeah.
I could see when he got switched out, too.
He wanted to say something to you,
but he's like, good luck.
He just doesn't have it in him.
I was like, maybe you're a bit too sweet to be on that show.
I know.
I thought his actual leaving interview was still a bit mean though.
Like, yeah, I didn't see it coming.
Wow, everyone told you it was going to happen.
But you, who trusted you.
Yeah, well, hey.
He shaved his nipples for you.
I didn't ask for that, but, you know, he'll be thanking me.
It looks great now.
Right, so you prefer a shaved nipple then?
I shaved everything.
Yeah.
No hair.
Would waxing be a better option for nipples?
I'm just thinking.
Rigor.
If you're on the island, you don't have a waxing salon.
No, you don't.
Or whatever you call it.
No.
But then sand's also, sand's really good for a post-wax exfoliation.
Just FYI, if you get a wax and you're at a sandy location.
I just roll around in it.
Yeah, you just rub your eye.
I get my back waxed and you just roll on the sand.
And it's good.
It's a good exfoliant.
It's a great mental image.
Good for the face.
Good for everything.
Just have a good roll around.
Well, it would make me feel better because you did switch out Trev and my cousin for Darius,
Darius, because you guys had like a connection.
So are you guys still together?
No, sadly or happily, I'm not sure.
But he pretty much ghosted me, which was a bit rude.
Shout out to Darius or Darius.
I'm not sure how to say the name.
Do you reckon that's why he ghosted you? You keep saying his name wrong? Maybe. I've had a real connection witharius or Darius. I'm not sure how to say the name. Do you reckon that's why he ghosted you?
You keep saying his name wrong?
Maybe.
I've had a real connection with you, Darius.
Darius.
That's why I just started calling him D.
Hey, D.
So you're from Rotorua.
Are you still living down there?
Because you're in Auckland, obviously, today.
Yeah, yes, I'm living up there,
but definitely moving back up here.
So you still live up here.
So did you come up especially to talk to us today?
Oh, you know, I'm up for the weekend
actually, a couple of things on.
Like what? What's going on here Megan?
It feels like you've got inside knowledge.
Are you seeing anyone at the moment?
Temporarily.
That's one bad way to describe
a relationship that you're in. Temporarily.
You say at the moment.
Who is this person? Do we know them?
Oh, I'm not sure.
No, no, no, no. Stop this now.
Is it a no talk about this situation?
You know, it's just temporary, a little bit of fun.
Right.
Who is it?
You're Trev. No. Who is it? Your Trev.
No.
It's not.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, TBC, you have to follow your Instagram very closely then, I think.
Yeah, perhaps.
Just follow it full stop, please.
Okay.
Well, I was going to ask you about your love life then,
but yeah, you're seeing someone temporarily.
Temporarily.
Nah, he's cool.
Yeah. At all. Okay, is it a clue?
Like, think of like a
daddy long legs with a
person's head on it. Well, you are terrible
at this.
I'm imagining
I'm in the human hybrid with the
spider. That's hot.
I'm temporarily seeing a daddy long legs with a human
head attached. You guys would love him.
He eats the flies and mosquitoes that get
caught in the bathroom.
Is it someone that people would know?
Maybe.
Some.
Have they been, are they from Heartbreak Island?
Or a TV show?
Yeah, no, could be. Guys!
Really?
Maybe we should leave it there.
No, because.
This is interesting.
You know, I wouldn't want to stop the, stop the potentials.
Okay, I feel that girl.
I don't want to, I don't want to, yeah, okay.
So.
That was so exciting.
But you just told us you're seeing daddy long legs with a human head.
That would stop the potentials because they're like, well, there's nothing here for me, her.
I'm not an arachnid.
Wait, daddy long legs, they're long.
You can get in between them.
How are you feeling about this, Caitlin?
I'm watching, Charisse. I've actually
got a boyfriend, but I'm still watching. Nah,
actually, you're cool. I like you. I approve.
This is so much
beating around the bush. Well, no, I'm happy for you.
I'm happy for you that you found love off
Heartbreak Island. Oh, come off it.
Love.
You guys are deep in love.
Oh, God.
And you can catch Heartbreak Island TVNZ On Demand
