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. And Vaughan's back today. Yep. God, you've shown us your shingles. God, it's nasty. I actually feel for you. It looks horrible. It's nasty. I had a nine and a half hour sleep. Oh wow. Because the night before I got no sleep because of the pain. The doctor prescribed me sleeping pills, which was neat. I was in bed by half past seven.
Starting point is 00:00:34 Vaughan got the same ones that he took that I gave him on that flight. But you only took half. Not two. Like Fletch said, take two of these. You took two and Singapore slings. That's why you don't remember getting back into the did not say you took two and Singapore slings. That's why you don't remember getting back
Starting point is 00:00:46 into the country. Yeah there was no Singapore slings last night. It was just bed. And then I got some other pain pills and I was like I'm not taking them
Starting point is 00:00:53 unless I need them but now I like I feel like I'm going to need them. Don't be my God you're such an old mate. I'm not going to
Starting point is 00:01:00 take those unless I need them. No I don't want to take them unless I was because I woke up this morning and I felt so much better but no that's already the next sleep swearing off. I'm like that as well those unless I need them. No, I don't want to take them unless I was, because I woke up this morning and I felt so much better, but no, that's already, the sleep's wearing off. I'm like that as well. If I ever got a painkiller,
Starting point is 00:01:10 I wouldn't want to take it unless I really needed it. Because you see those people that get addicted to them and you're like, I don't want to be like that. I don't know, mate. I've only got seven, so if I get addicted, I'm going to. I'll see your rationing. Yeah, I'm going to need to somehow find a refill. And drug dealers are pretty hard to find.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Aren't they? Are they? They're not. I've never really looked for one. Oh, down the hatch. Okay. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Story time. Three news headlines. Vaughn and Megan pick one of the following three headlines Headline 1 Pope and ring kissing controversy Actual headline Always actual headlines Yeah I saw the picture of this Yeah it's really just in the funny headline
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's not actually a great story Oh ring kissing I couldn't go past the Yeah because he held his hand out and he kissed the ring. But is there something in his... Is it the germs? He's not giving it a wipe in between the kisses. He should just have some Detail Wipes.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Yeah. Or some of those antibacterial. Well, this is how measles gets around. All the Catholics kissing rings. Headline two, links. It's all about the confidence. And headline three, pulled pork saves the day. Links, it's all about the confidence.
Starting point is 00:02:32 It's out of the last two for me. The pulled pork. Can't even say it. Pulled pork's so great. Yep. I know you're a fan of pulled pork. Huge fan of pulled pork. I'd say it's up there with bacon for me,
Starting point is 00:02:46 for the best use of a pork product. Caitlin, you're pressing the buttons. Stop pressing the buttons. I thought I was going deaf in one ear. Okay, I wasn't. Phew. I'm trying to Google the pulled pork, but I can't find it. I think just with links.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Nah, pulled pork. Pulled can't find it. I think just with links. Nah, pulled pork. Pulled pork. Oh, really? Links. Hang on. Links. Megan, you've got to be a little more subtle about this. You pick one.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You're breaking the Geneva Convention. The rules of story time. State no Googling. I can't find either of those. Well, make a decision. Pulled pork. You want pulled pork? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Oh, it better be good. Okay. Well, you'd hope so. Well, we go to New Jersey in America where a simple question from one good neighbour to another has turned out to be the difference between life and death. Because an 82-year-old man, he is the neighbour of Carl and his wife, Susan. Now, Susan was making delicious pulled pork. Well done, Susan.
Starting point is 00:03:50 And she was like, well, I wonder... Any word on her cooking method? Was it a slow cooker? Oh, it doesn't say. Like a crock pot? It would have to be a crocky or a slow... Or an all-you-barbecue. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:59 That's a true. Well, it doesn't go into details, but she thought, well, maybe 82-year-old neighbour Carl would love some pulled pork. So she picks up the phone and calls Carl and says, would you like some pulled pork? And that is when she hears him drop to the floor. He's so excited about pulled pork, he's died. Mid-sentence. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:20 And that is when she hung up the phone and called 911 and got an ambulance around. They rushed over and luckily saved his life. Wow. And so pulled pork. Saved the day. Saved the day. But would he have had the heart attack without the pulled pork? Well, it might have been the excitement of getting pulled pork.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Getting a phone call, getting some pulled pork. You drop. This is something you've got to be aware of, your love of meat. Too excited about it. You've got to get too excited. About what happened. Like you've got to be aware of. Your love of meat. Too excited about it. You've got to get too excited about what happened. Like you've got to tell your family and friends
Starting point is 00:04:48 at that age to break the news slowly that you're getting pulled poor. Well, I need one of those bracelets that says you're allergic to penicillin or you're diabetic but they flip it over
Starting point is 00:04:55 and it says often too excited about meat. Yeah. And then I could fall. So the other story that you had Links. Was it about
Starting point is 00:05:07 the guy who tried to get out of a DUI by spraying links in his mouth? It was, yes. And you know, this isn't the only case of that. This happened in New Zealand in 2013. A teenager did it. You're kidding! A teenager did it.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I would like to think that they're now growing up and maybe even listening right now. It happened the one you were talking about two days ago. It happened in 2016. It happened in 2015 is when it made international headlines. It happened in
Starting point is 00:05:40 2014 as well. And the lawyer who was defending the person in 2014 said we see it all the time what what do you think why what are you thinking
Starting point is 00:05:49 like well then it'll mask the smell of course but I would think that it would have the opposite effect because there are
Starting point is 00:05:54 even some does it have alcohol in it yeah there are some mouth sprays that have alcohol in it actually can give you
Starting point is 00:05:59 a fake or give you a reading initially of alcohol a little in an armpit spray yeah not a good idea Not a good idea. Not a good idea. There's another new dating term
Starting point is 00:06:11 to something that's been happening for a while. So now it's just got a name. Okay. And actually, we know someone who did this to Katie, to producer Caitlin. Oh, but she's got a boyfriend now. She does. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Onwards and upwards. It doesn't matter, does it, Katie? No. No, I've got a boyfriend. she was showing off her boyfriend last night at the um charity pub quiz that we were at how was she showing him off just was like hey guys that's my boyfriend over there what do you think no he doesn't need lots of my friends yet so i hope to introduce him to every one of my friends individually oh because showing him, I was more imagining you were saying something like, hey, do that dance. So he'd have to do a dance and you'd be like, my boy.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Nah, no, no. That would be weird. Did you do Instagram stories last night? Was it in the background of any of those? No. Okay, good. Just checking. So this dating term is called a flash panner.
Starting point is 00:07:01 So basically. Who did this to you, Katie? I don't know. Tell me what it is and then I'll tell you. Well, I'm not going to name the person, but if you're in the early stages of dating, this goes like they are really, really into you.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Really, really into you to the point of like you're talking about children. Like a flash in the pan. Yeah. Like how it goes... Yeah, boom. You're talking about children.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You might even be like morphing pictures of the two of you to be like, this is what our childhood looked like. I remember this guy. Actual story. Actual story. And then all of a sudden, they're gone. They cool off or they ghost you. So they come in super hot.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I remember you got ghosted by that guy. Like he dropped off the face of the planet. Yeah. But the ghosting could be guy. Yeah. Like he dropped off the face of the planet. Yeah. But the ghosting could be gradual. That guy was reminding me. Could be a gradual flash in the pan. Oh, if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have met my boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah. And be so happy. To my boyfriend. I've got a boyfriend. God is. Yeah. But so, guys do this all the time. I mean, there might be girls,
Starting point is 00:08:02 but me and my friends have experiences with the guys. It's the thrill of the chase, right? Is it? Because we can't explain it. They're coming so hot and then they talk about marriage and babies
Starting point is 00:08:11 and like everything. It's like this African plains, isn't it? We're just, you know, cheaters. And you know,
Starting point is 00:08:18 you pounce. Oh yeah, the thrill of the hunt. Yeah, the hunt. Yeah. Because there's this flash panning always
Starting point is 00:08:24 like the hard end of it is after, you know. Yeah, a lot of the times. You've got your adult times. So that's the equivalent of like catching a hyena and like having a good meal and then boasting. Yeah. Off to the next hyena. There's plenty more hyenas on the site.
Starting point is 00:08:43 No, we don't need hyenas. Oh, don't we? No, no, no, no, no, no. Hyenas eat the scraps. Oh, right. Zebra. Oh, zebra, yeah. You wouldn't eat a hyena.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Because they eat meat. They wouldn't be tasting for an hour. Okay, zebra. Well, I mean, we've all had a hyena. Don't get me wrong. We've all nommed a hyena. We've all been a little bit tipsy on juju berries and jumped a hyena, but we shouldn't have.
Starting point is 00:09:04 ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Facebook announced this morning that they are banning white nationalism and white separatism. It's weird to me that nipples were banned before these things. I know. I'd rather see a bum hole on Facebook, like an actual bum hole, than white supremacy. Than some racism. I know. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:09:28 Didn't we get a photo banned once because it was like someone's bum or something? But we've spoken about this. It's like when there's like sex scenes and nipples and stuff on like TV shows and movies, they're like, oh no. Oh no. But you're allowed like guns. But gun violence. You can buy a gun at Walmart.
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yeah. Like nipples are crucial. How many people have nipples hurt? So there was a problem. You can buy a gun at Walmart. Yeah. Like, nipples are crucial. How many people have nipples hurt? So there was a problem. I got a nipple in the eye. I got a nipple piercing in the eye once, but that was the piercing, not the nipple. Yeah, okay. That was its accessory, not the nipple.
Starting point is 00:09:55 It's a story for another time. It does seem like a story for another time. Oh, I just slipped and I landed on their boot. And the nipple piercing went in the eye. Be careful, please. Be careful. Be very careful. Especially with what happened after Christchurch,
Starting point is 00:10:08 a lot of Facebook pages were still existing and people were like, well, how can they still be allowed to be online? And Facebook said, well, they're technically not violating any of our standards. So change your standards. Because they weren't, yeah. So Facebook have changed the standards.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Good. So now that these people can't have this forum, I mean, it's just going to drive them underground to other websites and forums, sadly. But it's a good start. Because I guess it's a platform a lot of people are on. 100% and someone who isn't just going to stumble across it and be feeling isolated and be like,
Starting point is 00:10:42 these people might accept me because the only qualification they seem to have is that I'm white. Yeah. And so I can be part of this group. Yeah. So less of that, less eyes seeing it. It's all a good thing.
Starting point is 00:10:54 We still haven't had any comment from Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook about the... Live streaming? No. No, and a lot of companies are like, I guess, what are they doing? Boycotting advertising on Facebook. I can't believe they haven't made comment or even just apologised or anything. That's just crazy. They've changed policy, which is a way of acknowledging that it's been seen.
Starting point is 00:11:18 An issue. Yesterday I read, you remember that guy who was always in the news, just an utter bag of trash, that Kyle Chapman guy that was the leader of the National Front, which were like this horrible bunch of skinheads, basically. In Christchurch. He's said, oh, white supremacist groups are finding it really hard on Facebook now.
Starting point is 00:11:38 They're finding it really hard now after this. I'm like, what? Wow. Like, what? Why? Why? Why are you talking? You shut your mouth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah, good. I'm glad they're finding out. They should have been finding it this hard all along. Yeah, good news from Facebook. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. She's worth $275 million. That was the estimate in 2016, so it's probably exponentially grown
Starting point is 00:12:06 given that she's got writing credits on that show and the whole album and most of the other songs off the movie. But she turns 33 today. Happy birthday to Lady Gaga. Is it annoying when someone's younger than you and they're way more successful? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's just a reminder that your life's a bit rubbish. No, it's fine. You can't do that. You can't compare yourself to other people. And the minute you kind of start getting over 30 there's heaps of people. Yeah, that's true. But then you also see younger people than you being arrested for
Starting point is 00:12:39 methamphetamine manufacture. And you're like, well it could be worse. It could have been me. Yeah, okay, good call. You've made a great point there. I mean, right up until they were arrested, they were the younger ones with more money than you, but now they're arrested. You're joking.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Mediocrity is good too because at least you're not a bad one. You know, you're not a baddie. Yeah. Just mediocre. Okay, so just what you're saying is be average and happy. Yeah. Okay, good. The key to happiness is average.
Starting point is 00:13:02 So the top six things Lady Gaga wants for her birthday. Number six, she wants there to be 100 people in the room and 99 of them don't believe in her, but she'll have this one. Incredible talent with me. Number five on the list of the top six things Lady Gaga wants for her birthday, a vegan version of that meat dress
Starting point is 00:13:23 that she wore to the awards that time. It's 2019. Surely there's one available. They could do one of those laboratory meats. You know, like fake chicken free chicken. Fake schnitzel. Man, do you want to get away with that these days, would you? Wearing a meat
Starting point is 00:13:40 dress? I don't think she got away with it at the time. We were in the back of the room and it was like, what? And all vegan and vegetarian and back of her head, it's like, what? And all vegan and vegetarian paid her, and they were all just like, Lady Gaga. What are you doing? How could you?
Starting point is 00:13:53 Number four on the list of the top six things Lady Gaga wants for her birthday, she wants to see her birthing video. Because it is her birthday, and that way she can acknowledge that she was born that way. Hey-o! Would you question if you could... No. Watch your own birthing video?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Yeah. No. Really? Yeah. Apparently I was a dream. Really? A couple of squeezes and a little sneeze and I was out. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:21 My mum told me that. I don't think she wanted everyone to know that though. I was the biggest of her babies. Yeah, right. Again, I don't know if you everyone to know that though. I was the biggest of her babies. What can you say Megan? You're born with it. I know my way around the... Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 The behind. Drink your coffee. Well let's just say I knew how to get out. I've struggled to get back in ever since. You just said that on Nationwide Radio. Just rethink that. I'm a painkiller deep, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to remember this at the end of the show. Only don't know if the Broadcasting Standards Authority takes that as like an excuse.
Starting point is 00:14:55 I was on some mad action. You're on it. I was on. Ami tripped to lean. Number three on the list of the top six things Lady Gaga wants for her birthday is for her ex-fiance to forget that she hasn't returned the ring yet because technically that's what everybody wants when an engagement breaks up. You'd be like
Starting point is 00:15:12 I don't know what happened to the ring You know that huge diamond that hurt my finger Melted down into something else What? Do you have it? I don't have it Number two on the list Of the top six things Lady Gaga wants for her birthday
Starting point is 00:15:26 She wants elevated status To Dame Gaga She's been lady for long enough When do you become a dame? I don't know how that works Imagine if she gets to like 50 And she's like Oh no no
Starting point is 00:15:35 I'm Dame Gaga And she just does Way more of that Lounge singing Like she did with Tony Bennett Yeah That'd be awesome That was a very good album
Starting point is 00:15:43 Pro tip, though, if you do want to be a lady, a dame or a sir, you just, when you book a flight, just choose it. Yeah. Oh, you can be a doctor as well. Yeah. Yeah. It's all in your hands.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Yeah, but if there's a medical emergency, they're going to hang up running to you. No, just saying that you're one of those. Yeah, English. Doctor of archaeology. Is someone choking on a Shakespearean book? Because otherwise, I can't help you. And the number one thing Lady Gaga wants for her birthday
Starting point is 00:16:07 for today's top six, Bradley Cooper. With a bow on top. Don't we all. Don't we all. Don't we all. That's today's top six. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Netflix is being blamed for the rise of the platonic Western marriage.
Starting point is 00:16:26 So as in we're just kind of hanging out in friends with our partners instead of getting intimate. But then is Netflix being unfairly blamed? Because before Netflix it was TV and before that it was books. Colouring in. It's so easy now to sit down and instead of just watching one episode of something, you're like, and another, and another, and another, and then you're tired and you go to sleep and you're like.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Well, even because you were just even saying the other day, now that your parents are into Netflix, they've found that they've changed their viewing habits and they're getting hooked. Yeah. And getting less sleep. Going to bed later. Because they're watching more.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Multiple, yeah. Dad's not very happy about Netflix in the moment. Whereas we're used to it. We've just got used to it. But you do forget that, I guess, yeah, a TV show would end maybe at 9.30. You'd be like, oh, well, bedtime or 10.30 or 10. And because we're going to bed so much later, because you're rocking four episodes in a night,
Starting point is 00:17:17 you're not getting time or the energy to have any intimacy with your partner. So literally taking Netflix and chill, the chill part, like seriously. Yeah. But also when you want to watch Netflix, I like to go on one couch. We've got our couches. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:34 We're near. And then I always go to bed early. See, I'd say early rising's doing far more than Netflix when it comes to different bedtimes. They're also saying maybe Netflix is being blamed unfairly is doing far more than Netflix when it comes to different bedtimes. They're also saying maybe Netflix is being blamed unfairly because you watch it to kind of forget your issues. So maybe there were already some intimacy issues within your relationship.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah, right. You don't actually want to sleep with your partner. So you watch Netflix and then you're like, oh, I'm tired. I know we were arguing, but who did that to Madeleine McCann? Where is she now? Let's have a discussion now in the lounge.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah, you have to make the decision if you're going to watch Netflix tonight or you're going to like go cuddle. It's so hard that you get to one end of an episode and you're just like you need the next one. Or if you know when it's like going to start the next episode in five, four, be like no, and then it runs all through the credits and then a little opening scene, that's plenty of time. That's all you need.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Like 10, 15 seconds. Yeah. That's all, yeah. That's all I need. That looked like very gentle lovemaking. Yeah. The charades he just did. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:43 ZM. Just sending a link to a pal of mine who's doing the Tongariro walk today because I wanted to see if this is still there when he gets there. Apparently there has been a rude message left on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing Southern Crater. Oh, goodness.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Are you allowed to walk off the zero track you have to stick to? I've not done. Well, you did the Tongariro Crossing, eh? There is a well-formed track, but it's kind of like a vast crater-y rock situation. So you can walk on it. You can walk, yeah. I remember that when in high school you get to the top of the Toma Saddle,
Starting point is 00:19:20 and that's the one that joins Tongariro and Ngarahoe. And in the middle there, it was like Mars. Yeah, oh, it's beautiful. And then you've got the lakes. Yeah, yeah, and weird lakes and stuff. And you walk down. So it must have been up there somewhere. No, it's down on the flat, but you can see it from up there.
Starting point is 00:19:35 So on the flat, it's like a huge flat crater. And people get rocks. Much like in the crater of Mount Eden. And I'm thinking, you know, out by Mott, you drive from Nelson to Mott. Oh, yeah, in the crater of Mount Eden, and I'm thinking, you know out by Mott, you drive from Nelson to Mott. Oh yeah, in the East Tree. People write things, or they write like I love you. Or marry me.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Or marry me, yeah. Well, this wasn't that romantic. I just said wiener. This is one of our biggest tourist attractions. When I did this, it was heaving. But when I read that, I was like, I don't know if that, would a Kiwi write wiener? Wiener's not really a Kiwi word, eh?
Starting point is 00:20:10 A Kiwi would write dick. Or they'd just do a doodle. Yeah, I think they would put the rocks in the shape of a CMB. Yeah. It sounds like someone was tired and needed a good break on their walk. It wouldn't have been easy, though. No, because it's a lot of rocks to be lifting and carrying around. It made it look like someone was tired and needed a good break on their walk. It wouldn't have been easy, though. No. No, because it's a lot of rocks to be lifting and carrying around.
Starting point is 00:20:28 And so you see it as you drop down and it says giant wiener. But then there's lots of other words written in there as well. But obviously, when you've got to do a massive wiener, you've got to steal rocks from other people's. Yeah. Oh, right. So somebody might have written their name, but you're like, well, no, I need that for my ear.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Is someone policing that? Do you think they had to go and scuff up that wiener today? I don't think they're going to go and scatter the rocks of the wiener. When you work for the Department of Conservation, you get the email, hey, Trev, we need you to hike up and get rid of a wiener. Shouldn't I be clearing traps and resetting traps to catch dangerous predators? Oh, no, no, no. We don't want to offend any visiting people who are
Starting point is 00:21:05 offended by the word wiener. Heavens, no. That is one thing though that when asked for comment the local police said, oh yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:12 there's far more important things to know about that walk such as you can get hypothermia, very easily get hypothermia. The weather's very
Starting point is 00:21:20 changeable and a lot of people do that walk illy prepared. So wear appropriate clothing, keep an eye on the weather, stick together and be prepared to turn back. Don't worry about the wiener.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yeah, worry about your life, which is good. Escalators, a study's been done. You know, and I guess it's more of a thing overseas at big, you know, underground stations. London Underground. London Underground, yep. Where you've got one side of the escalator is for walking up and then everyone normally stands on the right or the left
Starting point is 00:21:52 and it's very orderly. You stand on the left. You stand on the left. You walk, if you want to move, you've got to go on the right. But then in America it's the other way. America and London tube station or just like a mall. Yeah. A New Zealand mall.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Kind of like the unridden thing to do, right? Like you stand on one side so that people in a rush can mall. Yeah. A New Zealand mall. Kind of like the unridden thing to do, right? Like you stand on one side so that people in a rush can walk. Yeah. Well, when there are so many people, a study has found that it's actually more efficient if everybody just packs on and stands.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Then tries to push through. Well, no, because when people have to stand on one, because most people don't walk up. Yeah, yeah, true. Most people don't walk. So if you're just single file. Yeah. Well, you can fit twice as many people on a fast standing stool.
Starting point is 00:22:30 You can fit twice as many, yeah, exactly. Yeah, but if someone's in a major hurry, they're not going to be able to get through. Yes, but if they're at the back in a major hurry and they've got to wait for everyone to get on single file. It's going to be quicker. It's going to be quicker for everyone just to pack the escalator and just walk
Starting point is 00:22:45 and then just stand rather and go up. Any news yet on my idea for an escalator invention? What's yours? Do you remember it was on the bottom of the handrail? I don't like to touch the handrails because you don't know if someone's just touched that and they've done poo's and not washed their hands. At the
Starting point is 00:23:01 bottom where those little brushes are there's a little disinfectant bath. Yeah, I know you've talked about this. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't seen that. No, okay. But it's not a bad, but then it's going to always be wet, isn't it? And then they're like, they don't care.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Well, you could do it at the top. So then by the time it got to the bottom, it was a bit drier. Or use that stuff, like an alcohol, because you know how that stuff evaporates real quick. Like the stuff you use at the gym to wipe down the machines. Yeah, but you worry about that and then all those studies come out that your phone and your steering wheel is way worse than any escalator handle. But only because I've touched escalator handles and it's mixed with everything else I've been touching. In fact, I'm just going to start wearing gloves. This study they did spoke about this tube station where 56 million people a year use it.
Starting point is 00:23:43 And they all have to go up those escalators. I mean, there'd be a few people in the lift. Yeah. But that's a lot of people touching that handrail. You know when they say 56 million people a year, but it's the same people every day. Yeah. Would you prefer they said 56 million people a year
Starting point is 00:23:56 or would you prefer they said 1 million people use it 56 times? Because sometimes I think 56 million is a scare tactic number. Yeah. You think of 56 million different people, but really it's just the same million people use it 56 times, or even less. Yeah, like 200. Yeah, like half a million people use it every day.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Oh, you're starting to make it sound less populous. Yeah, see? You're the media. You trade on panicky headlines and exasperated numbers I'm just trying to push through my agenda What is it today? Lots of people using escalators Panic I think you're peddling panic
Starting point is 00:24:33 ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast New movie Us Jordan Peele movie Is out today And it's really scary And from that movie And joining us on the phone right now is Winston Duke.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Good morning. How are you? Is this the Fletch? That's our Fletch. I'm the Fletch. That's the Vaughn and this is the Megan. Hello. The Megan, the Fletch.
Starting point is 00:24:57 How are you? Good. Now, Megan couldn't even watch the trailer for us. That's how scared she is of this movie. I literally let out a scream and nearly fell off my chair. Oh my God. Did you have your hands over your face
Starting point is 00:25:08 the whole time? Yeah, that was the second half of the trailer. Hands over my face. Do you get scared even just filming a scary movie like that? No, it wasn't very scary
Starting point is 00:25:20 to film. It was exhausting to film. But we did have a lot of random paranormal feeling things happen uh while filming so you know some of the scenes uh a couple of the nights we had a blood moon where the moon was just like completely red in the sky and we're like that's that's pretty kooky. We were in Santa Cruz, and I was driving to work, and I saw one seagull eating another seagull in the street. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I think, you know, they do do that. I've seen a seagull eating a pigeon. It's bizarre to see because I always thought they just ate bread and stuff and chips. Yeah, no, they eat other seagulls. It was really creepy, and chips. Yeah, I know. They eat other seagulls. It was really creepy. And it was like it rose up and had blood on its beak. I was like, this is crazy. This is why bird flu happens.
Starting point is 00:26:13 This is how bird flu happens. Yeah. How is it working with Jordan Peele, who for so many years was known for satirical comedy that made us laugh and chuckle and now he seems dead set on making movies that make us all do a little bit of urine in our pants. How was it working with him on this?
Starting point is 00:26:33 Hey, man, urine if you're lucky. That's really what it is. Could be a number twos. That's a big part of working with Jordan is that he's just a really brilliant mind, you know, he it's really great to work with him. And that comedic history is also very present in the process. So my character in the film, Gabe Wilson, his function really does feel a lot like the classic clown archetype, which is both there as a pressure release valve when things start getting really scary
Starting point is 00:27:11 and the audience needs to pull out a little bit with a laugh. And he provides those chuckles and laughs. And then he also is the truth teller, which is another function of the clown archetype right he gets to say the things that the audience wish they could say if they were in the movie so he gets to do that and he gets to also be the lovable heart of the film so you know all those things kind of definitely tie right back into that history of sketch comedy that he that from. And then he's just incredibly thoughtful as a director. He knows the world inside and out.
Starting point is 00:27:50 And everything, especially when working on a Jordan Peele film, means something else. And Elizabeth Moss is in the movie. Are you a fan of Handmaid's Tale? Did you get any kind of like the next season spoilers? Nice one. Nice one. I knew you were going to come with that one. I know I didn't get any
Starting point is 00:28:11 spoilers. I don't have any spoilers for Avengers either. I was going to say. You could have done a spoiler trade. I got no spoilers for Black Panther 2. I don't have them. That's a spoiler and a selfie. We're getting a Black Panther 2. Oh.'t have them. That's a spoiler in itself. We're getting a Black Panther 2. Oh.
Starting point is 00:28:26 I gotcha. I gotcha. Well, it opens in New Zealand today, the Jordan Peele movie starring Winston Dirk. Amongst others, it is asked, can't wait to see it in cinemas in New Zealand. Winston, thanks for chatting to us. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:28:41 You guys are awesome. I love the show. Keep it up. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. Hey, Groom. He is from Lismore in New South Wales. He has asked for
Starting point is 00:28:53 some help. So he's getting married in July and he needs money. So he has set up a GoFundMe page for people to help donate to his wedding. He is also playing poker to try and raise money. So he's doing everything he can to get it across the line.
Starting point is 00:29:13 He knows you can lose money playing poker too, right? That's the thing. Does he? So yeah, he set up a GoFundMe page. He wants to raise $6,000. So we asked on our Instagram poll earlier this morning, and so far votes, I mean there's only a few thousand, but
Starting point is 00:29:29 at this stage, do you think GoFundMe weddings are okay? Not okay, 94%. Okay, I'm glad. So I thought this was a rare thing. So I went to GoFundMe, which is like a give a little, like, because New Zealand's use more give a little, right? GoFundMe is more of an international. There
Starting point is 00:29:49 are pages and pages of people asking strangers and friends to fund their wedding. Yeah, I can see it here. So it's not even like, here's a $6,000 that he wants to raise. Some of these are asking for $10,000 and most of these have $0 raised. Or like $50. I couldn't believe it. I thought this was like an odd little thing because it's a news story. They picked up on it. But it's literally a common occurrence and
Starting point is 00:30:15 hundreds of people are asking people to go fund me their weddings. And also, so this guy from New South Wales and Australia, he wants to go to Thailand so their wedding is going to be in Thailand. It's a destination wedding. Yeah. So I think this is probably the same vein
Starting point is 00:30:31 that everyone else is thinking. But if you can't maybe afford that, then you change it to something else. Because that happens when you organise a wedding. In your mind, you've got your Pinterest page. You know what you want. And then when it actually comes to paying for it, you're like, well, I can't afford that.
Starting point is 00:30:44 So I'm going to have to trade out maybe a cheaper dress for the flowers I want or vice versa. That's just what you do because you know you can't quite afford your dream. You don't ask strangers to fund your wedding. I mean, at a stretch, you could come up, could you come up with a really simple budget? Like, I don't know, go to a nice spot with a celebrant and just you and some close friends? Yeah, cut down on five guests and you can have a helicopter. That's sort of like an app for an hour.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I'm not saying you get a whole helicopter, but yeah, heck yeah. See, I'm thinking the cost of a helicopter might be the entire wedding budget. Like, you know, $500. Or go for like a $6 bottle of sparkling wine on special and not a $6 bottle of sparkling wine on special and not a $40 bottle of champers.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And there you go, you've got a helicopter. Well, it can be done. Seriously, though, it can be. I just think it's quite, I just find it uncomfortable and awkward that people are asking on GoFundMe. Especially because you want your wedding to be in another country. Yeah. Well, just realise that, okay that maybe it can't be in
Starting point is 00:31:46 Thailand. Maybe the honeymoon later could be in Thailand after we've saved a bit again or yeah, it doesn't seem right. It's just living within your means really, isn't it? I know that it's expensive and not many people can afford that kind of lavish wedding in Thailand.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Especially on GoFundMe when there's actual good causes on there that people could be donating to. People that are sick and can't work wedding in Thailand. Especially on GoFundMe when there's actual, you know, like good causes on there that people could be donating to. People that are sick and can't work and need money. I'd much rather donate to them than someone that wants to get married in Thailand. It's just odd, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:16 It doesn't feel right, does it? No, it doesn't. In saying that, if you guys want to give me money, I'll go to Thailand. I'm already married, so there you go, it'll be cheaper. It's because you don't have to do the wedding stuff. Welcome one, welcome all to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, brought to you by Spark.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Get four gigs of bonus data on Spark's $49 prepaid value pack. Now, on with the podcast. A man in Melbourne has won $46 million. Ugh. I know. I despise this man already. So this was in a $70 million Australian Lotto jackpot.
Starting point is 00:32:51 This is how it happened. He went in and he always plays with the same numbers. He bought a ticket but then did something wrong and accidentally printed two of the same ticket.
Starting point is 00:33:03 So he had his numbers twice. Right. Now, when it came to the draw, his numbers were drawn out, but those numbers were also somebody else's numbers. But because he had two of the tickets with the exact same numbers, he won two thirds of the $70 million, not one third. I've never thought about that. So he could have won half of it, but he won
Starting point is 00:33:25 two thirds. Yeah. I became aware of this because when I buy a lot of tickets for people as a present, I'll be like, two identical lot of tickets, please. And then you keep one for yourself. Do you? So then if they win and they don't give you half, it doesn't matter because you've already got half. And then if they do
Starting point is 00:33:41 give you half, you've got half of theirs and half of the overall winnings. Would you not tell them that you had a ticket? But would you still already got half. And then if they do give you half, you've got half of theirs and half of the overall winnings. Would you not tell them that you had a ticket? No. But would you still ask for half? Yeah. I thought you meant so if they win, you win too and it's not awkward.
Starting point is 00:33:54 You're like, yeah, we both won. No, so that you can win two thirds of it. If that makes me sound nice, sure. That's the exact reason. I don't buy a lot of tickets or scratchies as gifts for people. No, not the same. Because remember that time my don't buy a lot of tickets or scratchies as gifts for people. No, not the same. Because remember that time my brother won $50 at Christmas for a scratchy?
Starting point is 00:34:09 I was livid. I had that in my hand. You should be happy because that Christmas present is now actually worth something other than just a little dollar card you bought him. I scratched him. I pre-scratched him all now. And if it's under $20, I'll still give it to him. I mean, he would have lost it.
Starting point is 00:34:24 You pre-scratched. No, you pre-scratched just the barcode bit. Oh, yeah. And scanned just the barcode, and it'll tell you if it's a winner or not. Then you can dish out the losing tickets. You're bad. Yeah. Or you could just literally get them a piece of worthless paper
Starting point is 00:34:37 because that's all you're giving them. But to have that kind of luck is pretty amazing. Because when I first read that headline, I thought it won like lotto twice over different draws. But then that happens as well. I know. You read about people that like, if you won like 50 million or 20 million,
Starting point is 00:34:53 would you still play lotto? I wouldn't. Give up. You've won. Yeah, like leave it for the rest of it. Like let it go. But people love entering because I've never won anything really
Starting point is 00:35:04 that I can think of. Like maybe the odd little like when I have played Lotto, like a little division, like $20, $30. Because I'll only buy a ticket if there's a big draw. But like I don't enter competitions. Your mum's won a few things. Loves competition. Loves them. She won that trip to San Fran, didn't she?
Starting point is 00:35:18 She did. That's why she likes Mark Ruffalo. That's right. Because it was a Mark Ruffalo movie. She's like, oh, the movie wasn't that great. But you know, Because it was a Mark Ruffalo movie. She's like, oh, the movie wasn't that great. But you know,
Starting point is 00:35:27 San Francisco was pretty interesting. Yeah. Lovely spot. And he must be a lovely man. She wins because my mum enters
Starting point is 00:35:32 everything. She won a bike, a proper like mountainy bike. Yeah. What does she do with that? Rides it.
Starting point is 00:35:39 She does. Yeah. That's good. I think she has backed off. She'll only enter things that she actually wants now.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Right. Not just enter everything for the sake of entering everything. I always look at things and she has backed off. She'll only enter things that she actually wants now. Right. Not just enter everything for the sake of entering everything. I always look at things and I'm like, oh, I should enter that because I wonder how many people actually enter. But then it's admin, isn't it? Mums enter. That's all.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Yeah. Well, I'm in the draw to win this car, but you've got to be there to win it. Oh, I'm too bad. So then, like, you know, you're getting into competitions when you're structuring your weekend around, hey, you've got to be somewhere
Starting point is 00:36:04 on a Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock in case you're making it. Are you actually going to do that? Yeah. Why? Because I want a free car. You could go out and buy a car. No, I couldn't.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Just to sell your car. It's not a brand new nice car. Oh, yeah, true. They're not giving away Steve from the bloody garden department's old Honda Civic. Oh, right, because that's what it sounded like in my head. Yeah, no, no, no, it's a brand new car. So I'm kind of like, I still can't believe you'd go out of your way.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Much easier than buying one. But I can't believe you'd go out of your way to try and win a car like that. And buying cars, I hate buying cars because there's too many choices. It'd be better if you could just win one. You'd be like, well, this is just the one I've got. And that's great because it didn't cost me anything. This is what I've got now. This is what I've got now.
Starting point is 00:36:41 This is me. I would not give a damn if it was lime green. What are those square cars that look like a biscuit tin? They're literally square. Is it a cube? Yeah. What if it was a cube? Beautiful car.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Lots of headroom. Lots of headroom. Lots of legroom. Lots of room for carrying things. Could we take some calls now on your lucky streaks? Like, how lucky have you been with either winning, would it just be winning? It would just be winning.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Or losing. Or it could be like lucky streaks with like jobs. You could get a great job and then you win something. I don't know, like how lucky have you been because I don't know,
Starting point is 00:37:18 I enter things and never win. So I just don't bother entering now. Yeah, I don't either. But hey, you wake up every morning with your health, don't you?
Starting point is 00:37:24 This is true. And that's a lucky streak. This is true, yeah. I'm not complaining. Yeah, I don't either. But hey, you wake up every morning with your health, don't you? This is true. And that's a lucky streak. This is true. Yeah, I'm not complaining. Okay, 0800DONALDZM, give us a text, 9696. Your best lucky streak. Talk about your lucky streaks. How lucky have you got?
Starting point is 00:37:37 Lots of people, but these are chronic enterers. Most of these people have admitted they do enter every competition. But people are winning those competitions that you see and then you don't hear who won. Somebody said, my husband won a Ford Mustang from an energy drink competition. What? I never even realised people actually won those competitions. And then
Starting point is 00:37:56 a few months later, my daughter won a bike at her preschool bike-a-thon, but I haven't won anything yet and I'm the only one in my family and it's unfair and I totally should have. Maybe we should start entering these things. Yeah, I know, but then it's effort, eh? That's why we don't get anywhere in life. We're just like, oh, effort.
Starting point is 00:38:12 It's effort. It's so much effort. My mum wins everything. She won a trip to Fiji. She won a Volkswagen four-wheel drive. Yeah. She's won multiple televisions. She won $200 worth of stationery last week.
Starting point is 00:38:24 And she's won multiple signed sports memorabilia. I wonder how many people enter these, your average competition, for like, you know, send in your barcode or enter online. Yeah. Can't be that many. It's got to be entering online. I remember the old days of the send in the barcode competition. I'm going to start entering everything now.
Starting point is 00:38:43 The New Zealand Post should really be back with those sorts of things. I might get some people using the mail again. Yeah, might get the mail up. Sarah, what was your lucky streak? Oh, hello. So many years ago,
Starting point is 00:38:53 in 1995, we entered a trip through BP to Disneyland. Okay. And we won that one. And then BP had the same trip in 1997, but it was to Disney World,
Starting point is 00:39:10 and we won that one as well. Oh, my God. BP are like, would you bugger off to kill Tess? You would have just been like a kid. Yeah, I was 11 at the first trip. I was 11, yeah. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Wow. And then two years after the first trip. I was 11, yeah. Yeah. Wow. Wow. And then two years after the last trip, my mum won a trip to Fiji through work, but us kids weren't allowed to go on that one. Oh. That was a sexy trip. A sexy trip. Well, we don't want to think about it.
Starting point is 00:39:40 That's actually how they marketed it, win the sexy child-free trip. Hey, Sarah, thanks for your call. No problem, thank you. Cameron, what was your lucky streak? So I won first division in October, so a million dollars. What? I thought you said fifth division.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Yeah, first division all by myself. Oh my God. You're a millionaire. I was a millionaire. I've got savings, but I invested it well into buying a house. Oh, that's awesome. So what was the feeling when you realised you'd won? Like, were you watching the draw live or did you just scan your ticket?
Starting point is 00:40:17 I scanned my ticket like two hours after it was drawn and then had a power cut. So it was really, I don't know. I couldn't believe I won and then tried to scan it again and then the system wasn't working. So had to wait the next day. Oh my God, did you get any sleep at all? Yeah, and I went to work the next day because I still couldn't believe it until I actually called them.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Wow, good on you. And so it's good that you didn't waste it until I actually called them. Wow. Good on you. It's good that you didn't waste it because you see those documentaries with the people and they waste it all, don't they? Yeah, yeah. So we made sure that we invested it well because I'm only 23 and my partner's 21. Wow. We only just started renting as well last year, so it's pretty good to actually own
Starting point is 00:41:04 our own house now. Yeah because if I was 21 and won a million dollars I'd instantly buy lollies. Lots of lollies and holidays. I think you could still afford some lollies. And did you tell people? We were thinking about blowing it along on like traveling cars but tried to be sensible. Did you tell people? Um yeah as soon as I went to work, I pretty much told everyone. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Hey, Cameron, thanks for your call.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Some other text messages on your lucky streak. Somebody said, I won four colouring in competitions in a row when I was a kid. I just was that good at colouring in competitions. See, I would have assumed a parent was doing them if you were that good. Yeah. And plus, if you're there to judge one, you don't give it to the best.
Starting point is 00:41:46 You give it to the one that looks like it's tried the hardest. Bit outside the lines, good colour palette. Got a new chapter in goat ownership. Thank you. That's all that deserved. That doesn't deserve any more. The goats Harold and Helen
Starting point is 00:42:06 These are the goats That you adopted From a rescue centre Yeah They Harold I'm beginning to think May be named
Starting point is 00:42:13 Harold Because Harry's short for Harold And he's a Harry Houdini Of the goat world Okay And When I first put up photos Everyone's like
Starting point is 00:42:21 Cute goats I hate goats Goats are great I have so many fond childhood memories of goats. I was like, this is great. Goats are like those, they're like clever sheep with horns. Yeah. And then when they started escaping out of their fence, out of their fenced paddock,
Starting point is 00:42:37 people were like, yeah, goats will do that. That's them, yeah. Like they always do that. You just can't keep them in a paddock. And that's goats though. And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Before it was all like, yay, happy goat memories. Now these things don't stay still.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Don't stay put. How did they? Because I thought you fenced them in. It is fenced. This is what we kept putting them back in and then went back inside and then we'd hear clip, plop, clip, plop. They'd be up on the deck and they'd be like, bleh. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:43:03 G'day. G'day. And be like, what are you doing up here? Was he eating anything in your garden? I ate so they really like, bab. That's what I'm saying, g'day. G'day, and be like, what are you doing up here? Was he eating anything in your garden? I ate, they really like the lawn. Oh, yeah, okay. Because I guess it's like shorter, juicier grass. Like the paddock grass is quite like long.
Starting point is 00:43:14 We've had it mowed, so it's more like hay. It's juicy. But it's short and juicy green grass. It's like premium chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just the juiciest. I'd imagine it would be sweeter if you were a grass eater. Right, so that's chocolate and your paddock is carob. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just the juiciest. I'd imagine it would be sweeter if you were a grass eater. So that's chocolate and your paddock is carob.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Yeah, yeah. Or no, your front lawn's lindered chocolate. And their paddock there is Australian chocolate. That comes in advent calendars. And so I put him back in and I said to Indy because she's loving the goats, I was like, let's just
Starting point is 00:43:44 stay here and see how he gets through the fence. Okay. He walks up to the gate, gives it a tap with his horn, and then takes four steps backward and then just runs and jumps the gate like it's nothing. Isn't that gate like? What? It's like a five foot.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Wow. The fence and everything's fine. The kids can stand next to him and it's taller than them. And he just walked up, tap, tap with his horn. I don't know why he did that. So what are you going to need? A bigger fence? Yeah, a bigger fence.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I'm thinking one of those Jurassic Park ones. With the 10,000 miles. Or like an old prison fence that's like all like mesh. And at the top it angles back in and it's got, probably not razor wire, I'll probably maybe put an electric fence. Just put a collar on them that say, this is where I live. And then if they get too far away, someone might bring them back. Because that's what people said.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Oh, let them cruise around. But there's also like we've got some trees around the other side of the house that are poisonous to goats. And also people are like, check out this adorable photo of our goat. And it's like on top of their car and the car's all scratched. I'm like, we've got a car that I'm okay. I'm okay if they're on top of my car, but the family car's a bit nicer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Not really keen to have the goats up top of that. You need to get a number eight wire and a chain so they can just run up and down. Like a long run. A long run. A long run. From one side of the paddock to the other. And then they can get up and down that. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And then you can move that. Yeah. Like a really, really slow lawnmower. Yeah. Pretty much, yeah. Like weeks at a time lawnmower. Yeah. Yeah. Like a really, really slow lawnmower. Pretty much, yeah. Weeks at a time lawnmower. But Helen, we thought Helen was innocent but Helen can jump a fence too, so
Starting point is 00:45:11 You know what you need to do? The cutest thing was, so Harold jumps out and Helen stays in the paddock and she'll be like, like, where you going? But then when he was in the paddock and she jumped out, he was really like, Helen! Helen!
Starting point is 00:45:28 Like, really freaking out. Harold really relies on Helen. I know. I think she's, like, got to be his big sister or something. This is what you need to do is you need to get your security cams, your wireless security cams, and, like, put it on the goat's head. Oh. And make, like, people might watch that. I've got a goat pro.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I'll put the goat pro on the goat. People would watch that. I've got a GoPro. I'll put the GoPro on it. Put the GoPro on the goat. People would watch that. Sounds like a modern day love story. Yes. Harold and Helen. The goats. The escaping goats.
Starting point is 00:45:58 So I have started a cafe. This is another shameless plug just by the way. Beaufort & Co is what it's called. I'll let you shamelessly plug if I can have my free breakfast when I finally come around to check out this place. Oh, we'll have a free breakfast. I don't know. I'll give you extra marshmallows on your mochaccino.
Starting point is 00:46:16 How about that? Yes. Well, you know you're worse now. I do, I do, don't I? So you and Mr. Toyboy have taken the big step and it's officially opening Saturday. Yes. Because you've been kind of open,
Starting point is 00:46:29 but you've been kind of... It's what they call a soft opening. Like I want to iron out all the kinks before... You tell me. Yeah. I don't want the F-boss to go down when people arrive. No, that's very true. You don't want the F-boss.
Starting point is 00:46:39 But you're not pay-waving, are you? Because that's expensive. That's a 2% charge. I had a social media storm yesterday with the pay wave. Some people think we're being lame and other people are like, no, I totally understand. It's very expensive. People don't understand that when someone pay waves at your business,
Starting point is 00:46:53 you're paying, what, 2% or a percentage? You pay, yeah, you pay a percentage of each tap. And it's extra. We have to take that on the nose because you don't want to swipe your card. If you're paying for a coffee and eggs, Benny, and you pay wave it, then a percentage of that goes to the bank. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Yeah. People don't get that. No. See, when I get that, I'm like, well, that's fair enough. Because, you know, it must be hard running a small business. Yeah. So, yeah, I think for small businesses it is tough. So we don't have pay wave, but don't let that put you off.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Anyway, I wanted to talk about something I did yesterday and I've always wanted to own a membership card to this place. Okay. So when you own a business you can get a card to a bulk does this across the country? Does everywhere have a Gilmore's?
Starting point is 00:47:40 Places like that if they don't. Yeah, there's places like that. A place where you can go and just get like bulk everything. Yeah. Because we've talked about these places before. I've never set foot in one. But they're like supermarkets for businesses.
Starting point is 00:47:52 Yeah. That's how you'd explain it. Yeah. So that's why you can buy like bulk everything. Right. And was it mind blowing? Oh. Can I come next time you go?
Starting point is 00:48:00 Yes. No, but I don't know if I'm allowed to go again because I went. I was so excited. I sent you guys pictures of everything that you again because I went I was so excited I sent you guys pictures of everything that you could buy and I was so excited I was like, instead of buying things just for the cafe, we now have two kgs of gherkins.
Starting point is 00:48:13 You can't have too many gherkins. Because I love gherkins. You can use gherkins at a cafe. Just at home. You've got them at home. Oh, you know, I took them home. So I bought like extra things for our house and so I don't know if I'm going to be allowed to go again. Do you put it on an account or can you pay at the time? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:48:30 You can probably put it on an account, but I paid at the time. Oh, you paid at the time. But you need a membership card. But can I come with you for your membership? Yep. It's easy to get a membership card, eh? But then like you don't live anywhere near a Gilmore's and you don't have a car. So if you wanted to go to Gilmore's to make the most out of it, you'd have to hire a car. Then that's going to cost as much card, eh? But then, like, you don't live anywhere near a Gilmore's and you don't have a car.
Starting point is 00:48:45 So if you wanted to go to Gilmore's to make the most out of it, you'd have to hire a car. Then that's going to cost as much, pretty much. I'll just use your car after work. Will you? So I literally walked around and I was like, I know what to get everyone for birthdays and Christmas presents. There was a huge bag of marshmallows, Fletch.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Okay, yep. I'll accept that as a birthday gift. What could you possibly get me for your marshmallows? Yes, okay, yep, yep. And a huge tin of Macona. Oh, my favourite coffee. Yes. I know because I have to buy the little glasses at the supermarket.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yeah. And then it riles me up because sometimes buying a glass of coffee is cheaper than buying a refill pack. Yeah, right. Which, how much was the big tin? The big tin's $29.99. That small thing there, those are up to about $20. That's like two of those.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Oh my God, I'm coming, I'm coming. It's like Disneyland for grown-ups, honestly. Do they have, like, giant things of, like, baked beans and spaghetti and stuff? Oh, my God. And I sent Vaughn, I'm going to buy you a massive thing of Vegemite. Vegemite. Yeah. How much is a massive thing?
Starting point is 00:49:38 Is that 5kgs, 2kgs? It was a big bucket. It looked like at least 2kgs. Nobody is going through 5kgs of Vegemite. That's a lifetime supply of Vegemite. But I tell you what. Somebody said you don't even need a membership card anymore. Someone said anyone can get it.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Don't take that exclusivity away from me. And in the South Island, the South Island equivalent is Trent's. Trent's. Trent's. Lovely Trenties. Lovely Trenties. Right. But yeah, I have to, the card's been taken off me momentarily
Starting point is 00:50:06 until I earn the trust to get it back again. Like most cards that involve buying things, that's been taken off Megan because she couldn't control herself. Yeah. Yeah. That's all right. I'll earn it back. I'll make my way through the two kgs of gherkins.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Earn it back, blow it. Earn it back, blow it. Earn it back, blow it. It's how I live my life. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. If you enjoy a leftover curry, the day after, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:50:32 No need to even heat it, in my opinion. Eat it cold. But in a plastic container at work, A, your workmates don't like you because that really smells when you warm it up in the microwave. But B, you're often left with a residue that looks like it'll scrub off, but you're running under boiling hot water and it doesn't. And it's an orangey...
Starting point is 00:50:52 What happens with a bolognese? I was just about to say your creamy tomato paste pastas. Le Zagney. Stir fries, anything with some intensive flavour and colouring will stain any kind of clack-clack or sustainment. Or maybe a leftover Chinese. Leftover Chinese from the place that does like the little smorgie board
Starting point is 00:51:09 where you've got to shut the lid. Smorgie board, did you say? It's a smorgie. It's not like a full-blown smorgie board, but it's a smorgie. Get to pick what you want. That sometimes leaves a green residue and you're like,
Starting point is 00:51:19 I ate something that made that. It makes you wonder, you know, when your lunch container's a stain, like what your insides look like. Hey, when you eat this stuff all the time. Yeah. Oh, but they're not made of plastic, though. Hopefully things just skid through.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I'd like to hope so. That's what I'm sticking to. I just imagine if you're a surgeon, you'd see the inside. You'd be like, oh, they've had bolognese. Yeah. Oh, look at that. Orange residue there. That's not coming off.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Big fan of a cormor. He needs to go through the dishwasher. He needs to sit there. No, but the thing is, they don't clean in the dishwasher. No, it doesn't. I've thrown out lunch containers because they're permanently stained. Oh, that's wasteful. That becomes your designated curry container.
Starting point is 00:51:57 No, do you not find that when you heat something, it'll take a bit, but sometime, one day, there'll be something in there and you cook it and it takes out the orange. You're like, oh my God. No. The food, it's like it's a purple shampoo and it's toned the container. It takes it out.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Yeah. Well, this Instagram account's revealed how to get rid of them and it's really simple. It's just sugar. You just pour in a whole lot of sugar. What, like a couple of teaspoons? Yeah, yeah, a couple of tablespoons or a small measuring cup, like maybe a quarter of a cup, and you kind of rub the sugar around the container.
Starting point is 00:52:31 When it's wet. Does it have to be wet? No, it doesn't need to be wet. Oh. No. And then you put in ice cubes. Oh, no, sorry. On top of the sugar, you put in dish soap.
Starting point is 00:52:39 So just like they use Dawn, which I don't know if we get Dawn here, but my mother-in-law has bought massive bottles of Dawn back from the States. Everyone loves this Dawn It's dishwashing I know, but apparently there's something magical about it We don't have dishwashing liquid here? She brought back a recipe once that used Dawn to make like giant bubbles, like when you blow
Starting point is 00:52:57 bubbles and you use standard dish soap and they just like pop, pop. These things would last forever Wow. Like I blew a big one and it floated over the fence onto the road and a car crashed into it. The car was ruined, but the Dawn bubble would last forever. Wow. Like I blew a big one and it floated over the fence onto the road and a car crashed into it. The car was ruined, but the dawn bubble was still there. Right. It lasted for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:53:10 So you put some of that in and then you add ice cubes and let them melt. Okay. So don't just chuck the ice cubes and then fill it up with water. Let them melt, then add a glass of water and leave it to bubble for a while. After 10 minutes, pour it out, the stain will be gone. Why is it bubbling?
Starting point is 00:53:26 Because it's got sugar, ice. It's got dishwashing liquid. Oh, dishwashing liquid. You pour it in. It just bubbles just like a little bit. Because it sounds like a chemistry class. I know. And then the reaction takes the stains out.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Well, we need to try that with like some of our New Zealand dishwasher liquid. See if that works. Yeah, which one's that? But then weird, it's sugar and ice. What is that? There must be some one's that? But then where'd its sugar and ice? What is that? There must be some kind of reaction. I don't know what the ice. Maybe the ice is just to slow you down.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Yeah, right. And then what would it be ice? I don't know. Well, that's... Anyway, it'll get rid of the... It's a hack. Get rid of the stains. If you've got staining Lutch containers.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I mean, you know, bigger problems, but sure. That might be somebody's number one problem today. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that in Russia in 2018, so last year, Domino's Pizza ran an offer for a month. If you could register with Domino's within that month with a visible tattoo of the Domino's logo, you would win 100 years of free pizza. That was 100 pizzas a year for 100 years.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Okay. If you died, could you leave it in your will that you're somebody else? I'm not too sure of the fine print. Okay. If you died, could you leave it in your will that you're... Somebody else would... I'm not too sure of the fine print. Okay. So they put it up on Facebook saying if you come in with the logo tattooed on you visibly, so not like hidden away. Okay. Like a forearm.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like on a forearm or a neck. Forearm, face, neck, hand. I think I already know where you're going with this. Yeah, I'm worried. So they said that this is going to run for a month. All you've got to do is come into a Domino's store, register. They take a photo, send it to the head office, they give it the tick.
Starting point is 00:55:11 They had to call it off after a week because 380 people had taken them up on their offer. That's what I thought. 380 people got a visible Domino's tattoo. Oh, my God. Imagine if they did that here. It'd be more. Yeah. 100%, it'd be more. It'd be more. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:26 100%. It'd be more. It'd be more. But do you think after a while you'd get, because what did you say? Was it one pizza a week? Two pizzas a week. Oh, you could do two pizzas. So 100 pizzas a year.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yeah, right. Were you going to say you think you'd get sick of it? Yeah, but I don't know if you would. There's a lot. There's different flavours too. Well, you'd just do one night where you had pizza for dinner, right? Yeah. Or like lunch.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Yeah. Well, just do one night where you had pizza for dinner right? Yeah. Or like lunch. Yeah. Well you get pizza. But imagine if you your local store was in that area that was more prone to people getting free tattoos and entering these You mean West Auckland? Yes. Just say it. Don't beat around the bush they can take it.
Starting point is 00:56:01 They can take it. Yeah. You know what I mean though like that local operator's like oh god not again. Yeah. You know what I mean, though? Like, that local operator's like, oh, God, not again. Yeah. Literally dishing out hundreds a week. Oh, jeez. Here they come. How are you, Wayne? Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Thanks, Peter. The usual? Yeah. Yeah, all right. Wayne's got the big colour logo on his neck. Yeah. Right next to a tattoo of Creed or Nickelback. What?
Starting point is 00:56:22 Shivers. I mean, Wayne wants three pizzerias. He's not a monster. Please don't tarnish Wayne like that. He's imaginary, but already I can imagine him being like, ouch, hey, ouch. The mouth's to feed. He's probably more a Metallica man, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah, he would love it. Bloody loves it. Loves a bit of that bloody Metallica man. Come in later this year. Come bloody way. So today's fact of the day is in Russia last year, Domino's Pizza offered 100 years of free pizza for customers who got a tattoo. They had to call it off after a week when 380 people took them up on the offer.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Producer Caitlin told us this morning about an incident that she had at her front door where a lot of your... Incidents happen. Yeah. Usually with Uber Eats, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Ah, yeah. Well, this wasn't... This was actually... I was cooking. I cook Well, this wasn't... This was actually... I was cooking. I cook now, guys. And so I was stressed. Because I've got a boyfriend and I'm trying to be... Domestic.
Starting point is 00:57:33 Domestic. He can cook too? He's a very good cook. So... Don't say it like that. Just say he's a very good cook. Don't be like... Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:57:44 I don't know. Oh, guys. Okay. So I was cooking and I had beetroot all over my hands and my hands were bright red. So I was a bit flustered.
Starting point is 00:57:53 So I went to the door because this man knocked on the door and I was like, oh no, what's it going to be? Anyway, he was lovely.
Starting point is 00:58:00 He was such a lovely man. So I got chatting to him and I was like, oh, this is his job. Like, all he has to do is chat. He was from an lovely man. So I got chatting to him and I was like, oh, this is his job. Like, all he has to do is chat. He was from an insurance company or something. And I was like, oh. I just can't believe there's still door-to-door salespeople in 2019.
Starting point is 00:58:14 No, they do because that's how they get you. Well, usually I'd hide, but he'd seen me. Yeah, I'd hide too. Yeah, I wouldn't answer the door. Yeah. But then I was like, oh, no, look, I've got time. I have vegetables roasting, but I had time. You were doing a
Starting point is 00:58:27 roast? No, I was doing a salad with roast vegetables. Oh yeah, okay. Some papita? No. No papita. No sans papita. Okay, can I? So then, so I'm talking to him and then I was like, oh actually Caitlin, you're
Starting point is 00:58:44 getting sucked into something here. You spoke to yourself in the third person. Good chat. Good chat from the other Caitlin there. Did you say that out loud? No, no. I was like, okay, let's get crafty. Because I knew this was his job.
Starting point is 00:58:55 And, like, you know, poor man has to go door to door. That must be really hard. So I was like, okay. And he's like, okay, so I'll just grab all your details. And I was like, have you ever thought about insurance? I was like, I've got contents insurance for my house. He's like, do you have life insurance? And I was like, yep.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Don't have life insurance. So then I was like, oh, I'm single. I said I was single, even though I'm not. And I said I don't have children, all of that. And then he got my email address. And I gave him my correct email address. And then he wanted my cell phone number. and I was like, I'll just tweak it a little bit. I'll just tweak the numbers. Like you're in the club. Yeah, in the club.
Starting point is 00:59:33 You wouldn't give this man your number in the club. I felt so bad because he was so lovely. And I'm like, he probably knew I was lying. I think I was shaking because I was just, I couldn't lie to him. And then anyway, all of a sudden he's like, okay, I'm just going to call this woman and we'll book you an appointment. So I'm on the phone to this woman somewhere in Auckland. She's like, thanks for booking an appointment with me. And then I was like panicking. And all I could think of to say was,
Starting point is 00:59:57 I just have to check with my parents before I book this. Even though I'm 28. And I just said, oh, look, my parents have a lot to do with my insurance. Yeah, you could still be under their insurance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Well, yeah. Because, yeah. Because I don't know why you would need life insurance. Well, do I? But apparently I do. No, because you don't have
Starting point is 01:00:19 anyone depending on you. You don't have a mortgage. Oh, okay. Well, he thought it was really bad that I didn't. so I was like... Yeah, but that's his job. That's because it's his job to show.
Starting point is 01:00:27 So if you went into a coffee shop and they have to convince you that you need a coffee... Yeah, right. Oh, yeah, like Megan's Cafe. You need coffee. You're like, oh, I'm not really hungry, Megan, but I think you are. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Vaughan, you were just in the bathroom... Correct. I think you are. Vaughan, you were just in the bathroom. Correct.
Starting point is 01:00:50 I was ridiculed by everyone else here. Everybody. Yep. Producer Caitlin. It's a shame I missed it. I enjoy those across the board ridiculings. No, but you would have actually, you'll stick up for me because I'm sure as an intelligent human being and a worldly man.
Starting point is 01:01:02 You've got me now. That you will know what I'm talking about. So producer Caitlin was doing her budgets. Yeah. And without going into detail, she was like, she needed to pay for something, but it would have to come out of a different show budget account. And I said, oh, well, that's just robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Starting point is 01:01:17 I was like, who's Peter? Who what? You know that saying, right? Well, I don't. And turn on you. You've got no idea, do you? Nah, you're officially granddad now. I was like, is that a vintage saying?
Starting point is 01:01:31 Megan, you've never heard of that saying. No. James? No, neither. I thought you'd severely messed up the Robin Hood steal from the rich, give to the poor. I was like, that's insane. You just added some names.
Starting point is 01:01:42 No, that's a different one completely. But you know that. Yeah, I've heard it to pay Paul. It's like paying off your credit card with a bank loan. Yeah. And you're just taking it from yourself. It's different again. No, that's not the same. That's when something's the same but might appear different.
Starting point is 01:01:59 I'm not alone. This is like an old saying. But why Peter and Paul? I just don't get it. No one knows why peter and paul right it's got to be a biblical well i mean they're better than names yeah probably but they were basically taking off themselves well i kept flesh could you just not say it again because i'm embarrassed you embarrass me oh dad what do you? It was only the people here at work.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I know. But you're embarrassing me in front of James. Oh, Caitlin still likes to look cool in front of James. Well, what would you like me to say next time? Just be like, don't do that. Yeah, okay, right. It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Just be like, I'll give you that one.
Starting point is 01:02:42 You know that one? Just use a cool quote. Wait, you know cutting off your nose to spite your face, but you don't know robbing Peter to pay Paul? Yeah. What did Peter do? They're both... Why did Peter get money?
Starting point is 01:02:54 Did he do a bad job? Well, he used his own money, didn't he? Why did he need to pay Paul? Were Peter and Paul in a civil union back in the day? No, I've looked it up. It's St. Peter and St. Paul. Right. So if you're in England, you paid tax, some locally,
Starting point is 01:03:09 but then some to the Catholic Church down in Rome. One was Peter and one was Paul. So you give less to Paul to pay Peter, but they were both going to the church. So you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Yeah, right. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:19 I mean, I'm much rather on Robin Hood's side. He would have just rocked in and taken all of it. I've got the bloody lot, mate. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
