Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:26 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.
Starting point is 00:00:38 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.
Starting point is 00:00:52 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.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah. That one. It's huge. Australia. Everything's trying to kill you. Even the hail. Even the precipitation. All right, ZM Secret Sound.
Starting point is 00:01:22 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.
Starting point is 00:01:38 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.
Starting point is 00:01:54 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...
Starting point is 00:02:12 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.
Starting point is 00:02:28 And headline three, drive-through customer impatient. Well, I know the happy birthday dad, the dad that got the billboard.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:02:54 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.
Starting point is 00:03:07 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.
Starting point is 00:03:24 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
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:01 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.
Starting point is 00:04:14 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.
Starting point is 00:04:32 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.
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:04 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:57 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
Starting point is 00:06:15 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
Starting point is 00:06:27 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
Starting point is 00:06:35 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
Starting point is 00:06:44 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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.
Starting point is 00:07:14 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.
Starting point is 00:07:34 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
Starting point is 00:07:48 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.
Starting point is 00:08:05 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,
Starting point is 00:08:21 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 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
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 around New Zealand enjoying wild bean kaffees they do do various vegan pies right sun fed free chicken free chicken pies right
Starting point is 00:09:32 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
Starting point is 00:09:40 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,
Starting point is 00:09:53 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.
Starting point is 00:10:02 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.
Starting point is 00:10:13 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.
Starting point is 00:10:27 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.
Starting point is 00:10:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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
Starting point is 00:11:06 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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,
Starting point is 00:11:36 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.
Starting point is 00:11:47 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.
Starting point is 00:12:03 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?
Starting point is 00:12:19 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
Starting point is 00:12:39 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?
Starting point is 00:12:55 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.
Starting point is 00:13:14 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.
Starting point is 00:13:29 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.
Starting point is 00:13:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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
Starting point is 00:14:10 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,
Starting point is 00:14:20 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,
Starting point is 00:14:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:52 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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
Starting point is 00:15:46 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
Starting point is 00:15:56 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.
Starting point is 00:16:05 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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,
Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:28 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,
Starting point is 00:16:47 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?
Starting point is 00:17:02 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,
Starting point is 00:17:28 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.
Starting point is 00:17:39 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.
Starting point is 00:17:55 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?
Starting point is 00:18:20 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
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:18:54 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 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?
Starting point is 00:19:18 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
Starting point is 00:19:31 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.
Starting point is 00:20:01 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,
Starting point is 00:20:21 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.
Starting point is 00:20:32 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.
Starting point is 00:20:50 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
Starting point is 00:21:07 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.
Starting point is 00:21:31 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
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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.
Starting point is 00:22:07 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.
Starting point is 00:22:22 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.
Starting point is 00:22:35 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.
Starting point is 00:22:54 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 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...
Starting point is 00:23:24 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.
Starting point is 00:23:45 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?
Starting point is 00:24:08 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.
Starting point is 00:24:24 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,
Starting point is 00:24:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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,
Starting point is 00:25:18 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...
Starting point is 00:25:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:48 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
Starting point is 00:25:56 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.
Starting point is 00:26:04 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?
Starting point is 00:26:16 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,
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:26:41 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.
Starting point is 00:27:00 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...
Starting point is 00:27:29 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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?
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:24 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.
Starting point is 00:28:34 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.
Starting point is 00:28:43 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,
Starting point is 00:28:53 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.
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:18 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?
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:29:41 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:07 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.
Starting point is 00:30:18 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.
Starting point is 00:30:40 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
Starting point is 00:30:56 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.
Starting point is 00:31:15 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?
Starting point is 00:31:39 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.
Starting point is 00:32:02 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
Starting point is 00:32:22 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
Starting point is 00:32:38 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.
Starting point is 00:32:53 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,
Starting point is 00:33:06 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
Starting point is 00:33:42 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?
Starting point is 00:34:02 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.
Starting point is 00:34:31 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.
Starting point is 00:34:48 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.
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:10 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?
Starting point is 00:35:27 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.
Starting point is 00:35:40 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
Starting point is 00:35:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:58 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.
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:36:17 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.
Starting point is 00:36:29 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.
Starting point is 00:36:47 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.
Starting point is 00:37:03 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?
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:39 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.
Starting point is 00:38:00 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.
Starting point is 00:38:15 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,
Starting point is 00:38:26 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.
Starting point is 00:38:37 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
Starting point is 00:38:45 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,
Starting point is 00:38:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:59 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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
Starting point is 00:39:27 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.
Starting point is 00:39:35 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
Starting point is 00:39:43 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
Starting point is 00:39:53 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
Starting point is 00:40:00 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.
Starting point is 00:40:11 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.
Starting point is 00:40:24 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
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:48 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
Starting point is 00:40:55 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
Starting point is 00:41:02 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?
Starting point is 00:41:16 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.
Starting point is 00:41:29 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.
Starting point is 00:41:46 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.
Starting point is 00:42:03 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.
Starting point is 00:42:21 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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.
Starting point is 00:43:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:36 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.
Starting point is 00:44:09 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.
Starting point is 00:44:27 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?
Starting point is 00:44:45 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?
Starting point is 00:45:00 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?
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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.
Starting point is 00:45:49 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.
Starting point is 00:46:05 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,
Starting point is 00:46:22 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
Starting point is 00:46:38 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
Starting point is 00:46:55 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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,
Starting point is 00:47:18 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.
Starting point is 00:47:37 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.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Dad's chosen a rap collab. Okay. How's this gonna go? Squeeze me. It was, it's been referenced many a time. Yep.
Starting point is 00:48:04 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.
Starting point is 00:48:31 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.
Starting point is 00:48:47 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.
Starting point is 00:49:05 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
Starting point is 00:50:01 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.
Starting point is 00:50:16 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.
Starting point is 00:50:25 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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.
Starting point is 00:50:52 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? So many people would never heard that song Oh it's good stuff

Starting point is 00:52:09 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.
Starting point is 00:52:28 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,
Starting point is 00:52:46 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.
Starting point is 00:53:04 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.
Starting point is 00:53:49 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.
Starting point is 00:53:58 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.
Starting point is 00:54:11 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.
Starting point is 00:54:28 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,
Starting point is 00:54:47 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
Starting point is 00:55:04 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.
Starting point is 00:55:25 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,
Starting point is 00:55:41 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.
Starting point is 00:55:56 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
Starting point is 00:56:10 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.
Starting point is 00:56:35 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?
Starting point is 00:56:54 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.
Starting point is 00:57:04 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.
Starting point is 00:57:22 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.
Starting point is 00:57:36 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.
Starting point is 00:57:46 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.
Starting point is 00:57:59 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.
Starting point is 00:58:19 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.
Starting point is 00:58:34 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?
Starting point is 00:58:48 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.
Starting point is 00:59:04 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?
Starting point is 00:59:24 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.
Starting point is 00:59:37 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
Starting point is 00:59:51 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
Starting point is 01:00:07 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?
Starting point is 01:00:23 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.
Starting point is 01:00:36 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,
Starting point is 01:00:56 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.
