ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Friday. Yes. Yes. Happy Friday. Megan, you went last night to the Best Foods Comedy Gala. I did. I saw this on your story when I was getting into bed. I was like, you love a late night. Oh, I'm not even going to tell you what time I went to sleep. Oh, 11.30?

Was it past 10? 30? It was midnight. Oh, Megan. But goodness me, it was funny. It was funny. Because I assume

Cinderella's fairy godmother worked breakfast radio. That's why she was like, get home, my lady. Get out of there by midnight. Yeah. If you want my help, don't bother.

Yeah. I've got to get up early. They did the interval at my bedtime and I was like, oh no, this is not good. It's such a bode well.

You're like, oh, this is wrapped up nicely. Shorter than I expected. We'll be back after a 20 minute break. Ah, shit.

So it was a good night's funny. Yeah. They filmed it last night. It's going to be in three parts. TVNZ Tonight, TVNZ 2. I was front row. Do you think I'll be in the TV? Or did you see any cameras pointed at you?

There's one like facing the crowd. So maybe. That'll be good. I hope it didn't ugly laugh. Might have done. Ha, ha, ha. Well, somebody that is taking part in the comedy festival is Tom Sainsbury. Yes, show favourite Tom Sainsbury.

Lovely guy. Does his Paula Bennett videos, his Simon Bridges videos, his all kinds of characters. He's done the lot. Yeah, he's going to join us on the show before 7 o'clock this morning. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time, three news headlines.

Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, Avengers Endgame crowd gets bad ending. Headline three, 15 year old starts med school. And headline three, brothers complete epic trip of Britain. You're going with the 15-year-old? I'm going to have to go end game. Yeah. So the 15-year-old's a doogie howser?

Yep. Is that a New Zealander? No, but I did read just this morning there's a New Zealander who is... The youngest New Zealander to ever... Graduate? Was he 17? No.

Oh, to graduate. Did he graduate university? I thought he got into university young. But he graduated university. See if that brings up anything in the news, in Google News. No. No? I think he was 15 or 17 or something, wasn't he? Graduating.

Or going. Or going. He's going to university. I think he was 15. I didn't read the article because I was like... Going to university at 17 is not that much of a feat. He'll be doing his first keg stand before he can legally drive. Goodness me. So which story do we want? Endgame.

Endgame. Avengers Endgame. Yeah. I still can't get enough of all the... I'm still reading every article. I'm still reading every article. I'm still reading every theory. Oh, you haven't seen it? This isn't going to spoil anything for you, is it? No.

No, it's not. We go to Orange County now in California in the United States. Where a woman went to a midnight showing of Avengers Endgame. Okay. On opening night, I assume. Because otherwise, why would you go? And the ending, this is why the ending is not good for those that were in the cinema, because it turns out this woman in her 20s has measles.

And so they're contacting everybody who went to that Avengers movie. Oh, no. And they're like, by the way, you were in an enclosed space with a very contagious woman. So with measles, if you're just in the room, is that enough? Yeah, well, we talked about it when there was an outbreak, what, a month ago around Canterbury and stuff. It's airborne, isn't it? So that's why they were treating people. They were coming to the doctors and stuff.

They were saying, we'll meet you outside in the car park. Right. Someone exposed to the virus usually shows symptoms within two weeks. People with measles can spread the disease from four weeks before the rash. They're contagious. Well, they have a fever, a runny nose and a cough.

So yeah, it can be coughed. Oh, good lord. There's no specific medical treatment for it. Signs and symptoms as a contagious. It's transmitted from person to person primarily by the airborne route. Right, so like it's the same as a common cold or a cough, yeah.

So she's coughing in the cinema. Yeah. Yeah. And then it gets in the air con and then it goes around and around and around. She leans into someone, she's like, this wasn't in the trailer. So apparently she had been, just got back from an international trip. Oh, good.

So God knows where she got it from, some anti-vaxxers in another country. Dragging it around. But yeah, apparently she had never been vaccinated. Oh my God. Crazy. And I saw some stats the other day

about American measles and like it was 2000 had been eliminated in America. Real eliminated. And now it's back. And now it's back and there are so many cases.

Oh God and they would have paid so much money to go to that screening. I know. Yeah. But it's a couple of weeks later.

Thanos snapped his fingers and half the population was eliminated and then anti-vaxxers won't get vaccinated and they headed the same way. So when you go to Avengers, who's the real villain? Exactly. Anti-vaxxers. Exactly. Flesh, Vaughn and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. You remember earlier in the week, our accent was the top of the sexy accent list. We were one. I think we were all a bit like, really? Yeah, like we took it, but at the same time we were like, you sure? Do you want to give us a no?

Have you been to Brazil? Yeah, what about there? I mean, they weren't even top five. No, they weren't. No. The Spanish accent. Irish. Irish.

And secondly, South African. Now, our famous South African and host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, was not having it that we were first place to South Africa's second on the sexiest accent list. I think the list is all wrong. All right? I love New Zealand. Great country. Wonderful people. But the accent is not sexy.

No one's ever listening to a New Zealand accent and getting turned on. When you hear those people speak, do you want to have sex? Yes. I'm so horny for doing sex right now. Yes. I would love to do the rubbing fronts thing. Yes. And also, New Zealand and Australia are not the same accent.

Australia is much more aggressive, you know. It's like, yeah, like in New Zealand, like,, oh, my name is Tiki and I'd like to have sex with you. And then in Australia they're more like, oh yeah, I'm going to grind you real hard mate. Yeah, just put my shrimp deep in your barbie. Yeah, you feel that? Oh yeah. So rude.

But he nailed our accent though, really. He did do well, yeah. We don't say yes like is that a thing that New Zealanders say yes? That's a South African thing. Yeah, I thought so too. So hey, South African was

two on the list which to me I thought that was the biggest crime put that way down. It was a really weird list. But then you'd love it Megan. I love Trevanoa's accent.

I wouldn't say I'd love the because his accent's a little bit softer than the usual South African accent. Yeah, he's spent some time overseasanoa's accent. I wouldn't say I'd love the, because his accent's a little bit softer than the usual South African accent. Yeah, he's spent some time overseas. Mr. Toyboy's South African. Yeah, he doesn't have a South African accent. The rest of his family does.

And they're great. But not for like a partner in life. You know, only what your husband... Trevanoa at the end of that piece did do a impression Of Nelson Mandela Doing sex talk And it was

It was Probably the closest That So that The South African accents Come to sounding sexy Right To be totally honest

Yeah But his other South African accents That he did Because he did The regional South African accents So I just thought

There was one But there's multiple Oh right Okay And they weren't No and he admitted that Not so much He thought there was one, but there's multiple. Oh, right, okay. And they weren't, no, and he admitted that, not so much. He thought it was just Nelson Mandela that got them to the top of the list, second on the list. All it takes is one sexy.

I think they're like basing it on maybe KJ Apa or someone. One sexy Kiwi's probably got us to the list, you know? One sexy South African got them to second. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Since adopting two goats, Harold and Helen, and making them my favourite pets of the family, and sharing the good times that I have with the goats on social media, I've been inundated with goat memes, goat posts, goat

yoga, putting pool noodles on goats, horns if they won't stop fighting. Have you done that yet? Nah, but they were about to get it last night. They were being very silly. Very silly. Please stop in. Just do it for a good video. Okay, please stop in at the warehouse on the way home and buy some pool noodles. They're not

pretty out of season, pool noodles. Pool noodles? You're saying poo noodles out of season, pool noodles. Pool noodles? You're saying poo noodles. Yeah, that's something different. You're going to poo noodles. The pool noodles. Where can you get... Oh, $4 at Kmart. Okay.

That's pretty good. All right. I'll intend to go for just those, but probably walk out with a trolley load of other stuff that I didn't really need. Oh, no. I might have to check which store do you want. What?

What store? Don't worry about it mate, we'll sort it out later They're in stock at all stores This is something we can do later, I'm sure No, I seriously want you to do this But I've been, also people are encouraging me to continue To adopt more and more goats As some sort of crazy goat man But I'm also considerate

that the two goats I've had have settled in and I don't want to disrupt them by just keep chucking more goats at them. Yeah. The latest goat I've been tagged in is Billy G. The Christchurch City Council

has shared a picture of Billy G and he's full-blown Billy Goat balls and all. Because Harold's not got any balls. So a Billy Goat is one that has been neutered. Yeah. Right. Wither is a goat that's a male, but it's had its balls removed. What did you say?

Wither. Wither. Wither. Wither, like the weather. Rain. Wither, like the rain without the A. Wither. So wither.

Wither. Wither. Wither. Wither. Wither. It's when, yeah, I don't know why. Right. Oh, yeah, weather.

Weather. Without the A. Yeah. So that's when it's been, its testicles have been removed. They've been castrated. Now, when you don't castrate a goat, they urinate all over themselves. Oh. Very stinky, and they're quite territorial animals because they are a wild animal, and

they can get a little bit bunty and Billy G is both those things. He's got horns that I would liken to knives and he's got the full-blown goatee beard. Yeah, right. He looks like he would 100% have tickets to Metallica when they come in

October. Because I got a bit of sass from Vaughan because a friend of mine tagged me in this post saying please pass on. Please pass on to Vaughan because he of sass from Vaughan because a friend of mine tagged me in this post. Saying please pass on. Please pass on to Vaughan because he's not friends with Vaughan. So I tagged in Vaughan and he's like not the first time I've been tagged in this.

Well that's your thing now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my thing now. And I'm all for it because I'd be, in the future, probably be keen for a few more goats. And I'm sure, I hope Billy G finds a place, but he might try to dominate Harold. Well, yeah, I think someone

with a bit of land that doesn't already have goats would be perfect. Yeah, I don't want him bullying Harold. Isn't Helen already dominating Harold? There's a bit of back and forth there. You know, you think that one of them's got the alpha of the group, but then it'll swing them around about. It's a good partnership.

It's equality. It's balanced. Gender equality. Christchurch City Council did comment on the post once they saw that Vaughan and I were talking and really encouraged Vaughan to adopt. Yes. I asked how much postage and handling was to Auckland.

They didn't reply to that, though. So I just want to say if you are in the area and you're also in business to adopt a goat, you've seen what I've been doing and you've been like, I'll be down for that. There is one available. Billy G. Billy G.

Billy G. Because of Billy Goat. Yeah, obviously, yeah. Because of Billy Goat. But there is, I tell you what, there's a pig that's caught my eye. Oh, God. You are making a petting zoo, basically.

And Norma is a pig. But they're like, Norma could possibly be pregnant. And I was like, Oh, no, you don't want... Oh, piglets, yes. Piglets are effing cute. Coony coony piglets too, I believe. Mini bacon streaks. So they would be super, super cute. Fletch?

You said mini bacon steaks. What? Mini bacon steaks. No, I was going to let them grow until they were a decent size. Oh, until they're normal streaks. No. Oh. Okay, you're not having normal.

There's a woman that serves bacon steaks at her cafe. Yeah. Oh, gosh, no. Oh, gosh, no. You shan't. Don't give an animal a happy life outside of a crate before you eat it. Heavens to Betsy. No.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Now, Megan, you went to the Best Foods Comedy Gala last night. I did. It was good. It's kind of like a sampler box of all the comedians, isn't it? It is. It's just a wee taster. Like a tapas.

Did anybody leave the shortbread one? Oh. Was there a shortbread one? No. There was a shortbread one? Oh. Was there a shortbread one? I, no. There was a shortbread one. Well, you can see the Best Foods Comedy Gala on TVNZ2 tonight at 8 o'clock and over the next three Friday nights. And we have Up for Grabs Monday.

The gala or the festival rather on for the next few weeks and comedyfestival.co.nz for all the acts and tickets and part of that is a man that joins us now. A show favourite

Tom Sainz. Oh, thank you. Hello, hello. Hello, hello, hello. What an introduction. Well, no, you are. You're a show favourite. We gather around when you do one of your new Snapchat videos. Oh, good. Your face swaps. Good.

I still haven't done you guys. I need to break in here and do all three of yours. Oh, I do. Oh, God. That would be such an honour. Yeah. Costuming? Beanie, cap, blonde.

Yeah. That would be it. Taken care of Are you worried that if Simon Rogers gets rolled as the leader you have to do more Judith Collins or do you like doing the Judith Collins snapchats? I just love doing Simon Bridges so very

very much so I will be upset but you know roll with the punches and Judy's got some good one liners Yeah Crusher Collins is such a character. She is, yeah. I call her like a Disney villain. Yes, like she's going to skin

101 Dalmatians. Like Cruella Del Valle. Exactly, Cruella. What are you doing for the Comedy Fest? Okay, so I've got a solo show called Tomfoolery and it's just, well it is a solo show so it's me, my... God, this isn't very, this isn't

boding well, is it? That I can't talk into a microphone for two seconds and I've got to be an hour just me and a microphone. Just doing your characters you know, really deep. Looking at the human condition through mimicry. And then, so that's the 7 o'clock. That's just me and my friends, aka the audience. And then

I'm doing a show, a theatre show called Mincing at 10 o'clock, that's just me and my friends, aka the audience. And then I'm doing a show, a theatre show called Mincing at 10 o'clock with three of my friends and I play a butch. I play a butch. Oh, where's his voice? Yeah, he's about like this. It's Jimmy, Jiminy Jolly.

He's a butcher who lives in Timaru and he runs a butchery. That is so interesting to watch you go, where's his voice? There it is. There he is. There he is. There he is. So mincing.

Yes. Mincing is. Double, double, double, double meaning there. Double meaning there. Chris Parker, my friend, plays one of my sons, and he's very good at both mincing the meat and mincing around the stage. Right. Okay.

Is this based on anybody drawn from real life inspiration here? Well, my characters, you know, Okay, is this based on anybody drawn from real life inspiration here? Well, my characters, you know, basically it all comes back to my dad, I think. Yeah. All comes back to my dad. And Chris is just playing a version of himself, I guess. Well, that's easy. Yeah.

It's easier to play a version of yourself. When you're in the room talking to yourself,'s got to be similar to when you record the the videos that people probably most know you for is there anybody ever watching you or is that you kind of like wait till everyone's gone and get into character and do your simon bridges and your paula bennett's um once or twice i've had to do it like i did it i did one um in a factory with people like hovering around in the background but if you just kind of own it it's fine what's really weird is when you've got the filter and for whatever reason it just disappears

and there you are with your wig and your neck kerchief just staring at yourself with this weird voice like, oh, that is weird. Because I guess when you're looking at the Snapchat, you're looking at someone else. You distance yourself a little. Yeah. Right.

But yeah, there are flashes of like, what am I doing with my life? Who am I? Good question. And then that feeds back into the character where you're playing your dad. Yeah. You can be disappointed in yourself

from your dad's point of view. Exactly. You got it. It's an ever-fading machine, isn't it, comedy? It is. As long as you have a little sprinkling of disappointment in yourself.

Yeah. I like working in disappointment comedy. That's my kind of, that's my genre. Disappointment comedy. Well, if disappointment comedy is your thing, you can go along to the Best Foods Mayo Comedy Festival. It is running pretty much all of May. Correct.

Starting yesterday, going through until the 26th. Then you can find details at ZM online about Tom's show. Thank you so much for coming in. Thank you for having me. I love you guys. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Today's Top Six, the Top Six other moods that need meals at BK.

Let me tell you a story. Burger King has said they're releasing real meals that cover a range of moods, from salty to blue. The new meal options, there's the pissed meal, where you're angry, the blue, the salty meal, the yaas meal, and the DGAF meal. They partnered with the Mental Health America on the campaign. Select restaurants around America are going to be doing this. Such a good idea. Yeah.

The unhappy meal. Why has no one done it sooner? You can't always be happy. Yeah, and every mood's kind of got a little logo. It's actually when they come in a box like a happy meal. So this is just America, not New Zealand? Not at this stage, no. And it's just saying you don't always need to be happy and sometimes we're

not happy. So these are the top six other moods that need meals at BK or whomever wants to do it. The number six, the I just need a shower meal. Everything in that meal's fried. A lot of fries.

Onion rings. Sometimes you just need a shower, eh? It makes it all better. Yeah. It's real hot. Wash away the sins. Hot shower. Wash away the sins of fried.

Sins of yesteryear. Number five on the list of the top six other moods that need meals at BK, the I'll regret this in five minutes meal. That's got four burgers and a thick shake. Your fledge does this and I don't know how. You'll get like a combo but you'll opt for like a thick shake for

the drink. Oh yeah, I always regret it. And then afterwards, every single time he's like, shouldn't have done that. And then next time we'll go somewhere, he'll get it again. I'll be like, last time you said you shouldn't have done that. It was a different day. Isn't it just a big cup of runny soft serve? Yeah, pretty much. With heaps of chocolate sauce

in it. Yum. I don't know why either. Guts to mix that amount of salty and sweet. Yeah. And oil and cream and, oh, it's too much. Yeah, you just need a shower. And then go back and get another meal.

The oldest need a shower meal. The number four on the list of the top six other moods that need meals at BK is the, I just don't know what's wrong meal. And it's got a bit of everything. A little bit of, no, no, I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't feel like that. No, I just, maybe it's chips I want. No, it's not them either. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't feel like that. No, maybe it's chips I want. No, it's not them either.

I don't know what's wrong with me. A little bite of that. No, that's not what I want either. I don't know. I can't put it into words. I don't know. Number three on the list of the top six other moods that need meals at BK, the I'm eating this in secret on the way home meal.

It needs to have minimal wrapping and no smell. Yeah. Because... Easy Yeah. Because... Easy disposal. Because, you know, you get home, you're like, you drive, if you're eating in secret in your car and you leave the windows down, or even if you're like me and you drop a couple on the way home, farts, you leave the windows right down and then you get home,

you're like, we're clear. And you wind the windows up. But for some reason, the smell that is remaining really multiplies with closed windows. It's trapped, isn't it? You get back in next summer and you're like, oh gosh. Crack a window, mate. You've got a garage.

It's inside. Yeah, boy, that's a good call. Should be doing that. Number two on the list of the top six other moods that need meals at BK. Yeah, no, no, this definitely isn't just one person. I've got friends at home. I'm taking a home to them meal. That's where you just want to blow out.

Yeah. That's what Caitlin tells just want to blow out. Yeah. That's what Caitlin tells the Uber driver, eh? This dessert's for the guy inside. You said that to him, didn't you? No, that's because I'd ordered two separate Ubers. So one Uber 8, so one was a meal and then it was the dessert, but it was a whole block of

ice cream. A whole tub. And I was like, that's for my... I didn't say boyfriend because remember I didn't have a boyfriend back then and he was hot. And I was like, oh, it's for my... I didn't say boyfriend because remember, I didn't have a boyfriend back then and it was hot. And wasn't it because

the Uber driver was hot? Yeah, yeah. So I was like, oh. It's for me and all my gal pals. And number one on today's top six

other moods that need meals at BK, the I'm probably going to start an argument with my partner over nothing meal. It's for two people. It's got two of everything except only one chips.

It's because she didn't feel like chips. I just have a couple of yours. Yeah, yeah. No, you won't. God, I hate that. Get your own chips. Get your own chips. No, but I don't need my own.

I don't want all of them. I don't want a whole thing. No, I just want to steal a couple of yours. What's the worst that can happen? You're going to leave some chips. I'll eat the whole thing. Yeah, you'll eat. Oh.

We don't trust ourselves to order a whole one because then we'll eat the whole one. Then we'll eat it. No. I'll just have a couple of yours. No. Someone's got to eat them. Someone's got to eat all those delicious chippies. Yeah.

Could not be you after you said you didn't want any. That is today's Top 6. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Food Fight. The Chippies Edition. All right, we are searching for New Zealand's favourite packet of chippies. Yeah. Actually, we should say in this, we've got a round coming up with tubes. Tubes of chippies.

That's right. Do you want to go over the results for yesterday before we kick off a couple of fresh rounds? Sure. So yesterday we pitted Copper Kettle Barbecue, Woodfire Barbecue up against Popper Jack's. Yep. The Copper Kettle Barbecue romping home there with nearly 70% of the votes. Wow, okay.

Nacho Cheese Doritos versus Greek Zit Ziki. Zit Ziki. Zit Ziki. Advancing to the next round, Doritos versus Greek tzatziki. Tzatziki. Tzatziki. Advancing to the next round, Doritos, nacho cheese. 65% of the vote. There was some controversy there because we'd obviously Googled the American packet. Yeah, and it's red, but nacho is yellow.

Yeah. So some people did point that out. I am so pleased to report Ready Salted are out of the competition in round one. Yeah. They did not have what it takes to beat Honey Soy Chicken Copper Kettle. Are you heartbroken, James? I was shocked when I saw that. I thought Ready Salted would at least

made it through. It's a great chip. It's the original. It's where it all started. It's horrible finding out. It's the building block. It's the OG. Of all chips.

It's horrible finding out you're in the minority with the chip flavour, eh? I know it is. Yeah. You're like, I thought everyone liked these. And finally, yesterday the cassava vegetable crisp went up against the mancho spicy tomato. Yep. I believe someone slid into our DMs, Anya. Yes.

Read the cassava chip. Air New Zealand popped in and said, we'll be placing a vote for the veggie chip, please. Well, it wasn't enough because it got rolled. 80% of people voted for the spicy tomato manchos. See, this is the thing, Air New Zealand, if you're listening, get spicy tomato manchos on your flights. Oh, my God.

I'd be asking for four packs. Would you like a cookie time cookie or spicy tomato manchos? Sounds so much better. Doesn't it tomato manchas? Sounds so much better. Doesn't it? Yeah. That sounds so much better. All right. So the rounds today, the rounds this morning are thus.

The first is Pringle versus Pringle. Salt and vinegar Pringles. No, you've got to pop that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That work all right for you? Do you know what's more pleasing than that is a tube of tennis balls. Oh, yeah. Oh, God. That work all right for you? Do you know what's more pleasing than that is a tube of tennis balls. Oh, yeah.

Oh, God, because that's really sealed in. Yeah. And having a good sniff of the tennis balls. This will be interesting to see how this crunch goes, because not a traditional chip. No. Are these molded? It's reconstituted potato, right?

Yeah, it's mashed down and then reset, right? Okay. That's a couple. You've done a couple. Or was that one? That was a couple. I did that classic thing where I moved my mouth at the same time. Like... You really should eat this. So, this is interesting because salt and vinegar

Pringles are up against... Sour cream and onion Pringles. Right. I always thought these were sour cream and chive. But they're not. They're sour cream and onion Pringles. Right. I always thought these were sour cream and chive. But they're not. They're onion. They're sour cream and onion, so that's why they taste different.

Normally, I don't like a sour cream and chives chip, but the Pringles, I don't mind. Have anybody taken a... Oh, do you guys want a salt and vinegar? Pass them around, mate. Pass them around. I'm hugging the tubes. These are the best. I reckon the salt and vinegar are going to romp this. Salt and vinegar Pringles are so good. Oh, yeah. Oh, those sour cream and onion ones are pretty good the tubes. These are the best. I reckon the salt and vinegar are going to romp this. Salt and vinegar and Pringles are so good.

Oh, yeah. Oh, those sour cream and onion ones are pretty good, though. This is sour cream. They've got a good smell. God, you're good at the sound effects. Okay, that's pretty good. I think we need a montage of all your chip sound effects. Of all the things, yeah.

Yeah. Okay. So those are the first votes. That's round one. Pringle v. Pringle. You can vote on our Instagram, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So those are the first votes. That's round one. Pringle v. Pringle. You can vote on our Instagram, FBMZM now. The tube versus the tube. The blue tube versus the green tube.

The second round that we're voting on, and it is also pretty good to be eating chips at 7 o'clock in the morning as well. In case you were wondering. The second round. There's no decision here, surely. Twisties. Bluebird twisties. It no decision here, surely. Twisties. Bluebird Twisties.

It'd be a straight world without twisties. That's still their slogan. With the penguin. These have been around since I can remember. Much more of a powdery sort of a... Yeah. Do you like twisties or rations more? Rations.

Twisties. But I think we're at odds. I think you and me would vote differently in this round. But a cheese ball is just a twisty in a ball shape, right? They're very similar. Yeah, very similar. Very similar taste. Well, the twisties is taking on Intuna Anya's favourite chip.

Is this your number one chip, Anya? This is it, baby. Let's go. You're so plain, eh? No. This isn't plain. This is everything. This is the Ripple Cut.

The works. Bacon, cheddar, sour cream and chives. I don't actually ever think I've had one of these. This is New Zealand's most underrated chip. Oh, baby. That's it. You checked a big one. That was a big chip. That was a big chip in your mouth.

That was a big chip in the pack-up. Those are delicious. I have had these before. They are nice. They're okay. You can't do too many of these. No, I'm with you, Anya. Thank you.

New Zealand, I implore you to please vote for the works. Twisties are garbage. No, the twisties. It's got bacon, cheese, sour cream and chives. It's like lots of flavours all at once. It says all that

but there's not a lot on the chip. From a mouthful just then, the Pringles, flavour-wise, the Pringles blows it out of the water. I know, it's all colour, Megan.

It's no flavour. I don't know. Can you swing, people? You're supposed to be... Impartial. Your journalistic integrity is being partial. I'm just giving an... Hey, I'm giving an honest opinion here. I'm giving an honest opinion. You're swaying people. You're supposed to be... Impartial. Your journalistic integrity is... Oh, I'm just giving an...

Be impartial. Hey, I'm giving an honest opinion here. I'm giving an honest opinion. You're Fox News when it comes to chips. You're just telling people who to vote for. Yeah, exactly. And just going in and saying whatever I need to say about the chip I don't like. So you can vote now on our Instagram account, FBMZM on Instagram.

Do you want some early votes? Yeah, let's get some early votes. Twisty's versus The Works. Twisties, 79% of the vote. Oh, wow. Now, the Pringles. Salt and vinegar versus sour cream and onion. Ooh.

Oh, my God. Sour cream and onion? Yeah. Yeah. I know people love the sour cream and onion. I just voted salt and vinegar 42% to 58%. Really? Oh, that's close, though, in early days.

But once the voting gets a few thousand in, it tends to be fairly... You can't really change it. So you can vote. Tell us how you feel on our Instagram, FBMZM. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. If you're a fan of Harry Potter, then Wizards Unite, great news for New Zealanders and Australians,

that Wizard Unite is, it's called an open world game. It's kind of like if you ever played Pokemon Go or saw people, I mean, everybody saw someone playing Pokemon Go. Megan was at a park at 11 o'clock at night playing Pokemon Go once. Remember that? And tried to cross a river in darkness. Yeah. Wasn't my finest moment.

People, by the way, still, because I live in the city, people are still playing that. Yeah. I'll see them at the weekend, like, hanging around with their battery packs and just standing in the middle of the road. I'll be like, what are they doing? Pokemon Go. Playing Pokemon Go.

Still going. Well, Wizards Unite is the Harry Potter version of that game, and it's been beta tested in Australia and New Zealand. So you can download the game from the Apple App Store or Google Play in New Zealand and Australia. It's just called Harry Potter Wizards Unite. And you can now play a Harry Potter game out in the wide open. So it's like augmented reality?

Correct, yes. Same as Harry Potter. Same as Pokemon Go was, yeah. Right. So what's the idea? Have you downloaded this yet? No, I haven't because I recognise addiction and it took me a long time to shake Pokemon Go.

But you're already, what's that game, your stupid mining? Idle Miner. We were in that meeting yesterday. Were you doing that in that meeting? He's always doing it. He's doing it now. It'll be open now playing. It's not.

Open your phone. Unlock screen. It is. But it tells you how long you've been away for and apparently I haven't been on for like 28 minutes. That's pretty good for me. But during the show, he'll be idle mining. How does this game work? Idle mining.

Idle miner. You idle mining operation. You've been addicted to this for like two months. I started playing it when I was on holiday over New Year's. I actually got a chest today that commemorated my three months playing. It was like, congratulations, three months. Yeah, I kind of feel like you need this new Harry Potter game to get me outside again.

Yeah, yeah. But then it was the same with Pokemon Go. I found myself driving to golf courses 80 kilometres from where I live because someone told me it was a hot spot to catch Charizard. Now, that sounds like a good idea. You could have had Charizards on your farm now. Can you imagine what's on your farm? Nothing.

Have you checked? Yes. When we were looking at buying, we were out there one day and I was walking around in shadows like, what are you doing? I was like, oh, I'm just checking out the fences and stuff. And I was like, open Pokemon Go, just out of interest. I haven't had it open for ages. But then you also didn't want to buy a place that was a hotspot

because you wouldn't want people coming on trying to find Charizards or... No, no, you wouldn't want... Squiggly Puffs or Jiggly whatever. Jiggly Puffs. Squiggly Puffs. You've mixed up your favourite biscuit with your favourite Pokemon there. They... Well, people were putting up signs, weren't they?

Saying, no trees passing, we know what you're doing, you Pokemon freaks. So what is the equivalent in the Harry Potter game? Do you know? Have they talked about, do you have to go around and find elusive characters? Yeah, magical creatures. Right. You've got to take care of magical creatures, catch magical creatures, catch bad guys, cast spells, learn to cast new spells.

They're saying there's a lot more to it than Pokemon Go. It's not just catching and battling, which is basically the essence of Pokemon Go. But you're still going to have to get outside and find things. Yeah. Okay. You're going to have to get outside. So if you see a whole bunch of people dressed up as wizards,

give them some space. Space. Right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Dean Lewis on ZM playing tonight at Auckland's Town Hall. And joining us in the studio now, Dean Lewis, hello. Hello, thanks for having me. Not a problem at all.

We were just talking about your Kathmandu jacket you bought at the airport. Exactly, and then I googled it to see where Kathmandu is from and it's a New Zealand company, which is awesome. Yes. Yeah, it's great. You bought it at the airport, were you like, oh my God, it's freezing here. No, you know, I saw someone wearing this jacket in the Netherlands. I don't sound like I'm like named, but I was in the Netherlands and I saw someone wearing it because I saw the green thing

and I was like, where do you get that from? And I was in the airport yesterday and I just looked to the left and I saw the green thing and I was like, that's the jacket, man. You know when you finally see a jacket you really want and you can't find it and then i saw it now and you've got it and now i'll look yeah yeah exactly and i look terrible in it but i have the jacket that's how everybody looks in a cab and do a jacket yeah yeah yeah it's a little puffy yeah yeah it makes you look a little bit puffy yeah yeah and then you take it off at the end of winter and everyone's like have you lost weight and you're like yeah you just stopped wearing my two-trickers. I've put on a few pounds around the midsection.

But you said you didn't want to name drop that you were in Amsterdam, but you've been getting around, right? Yeah, yeah. It's been crazy, man. Like, Be Alright kind of just took me all around the world. Like, you know, it kind of had success in, you know, Belgium, America. Name the country. It was just unbelievable.

Did you go to Brazil? I didn't go to Brazil, but I got a lot of messages today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. country. It was just unbelievable. Did you go to Brazil? I didn't go to Brazil, but I got a lot of messages today. That's like a running joke. Because I just looked on your Facebook page on the posts to see what people were posting. And yeah, there was a few come to Brazils. And that actually means you've made it. Really?

Because Brazil invite people to Brazil. Come to Brazil. I get so many Brazilians saying come to Brazil. It's so good. Every time each of us posts something on Instagram, we'll just write on it, come to Brazil. I think that's special. That's the thing they do with everyone.

Another thing I found, and I don't know if you've seen this on your Facebook page, someone doing a pen tapping cover of Be Alright. No. So he's using the pens as percussion pretty cool flat or the tip tip of the pen and sometimes it's just as him I was actually quite that's quite cool is it weird now seeing people cover your songs on YouTube look this um yeah I every now and then like I don't do it all the time sounds like a lie but every now and then i like google like i'll just go to youtube and type in like dean lewis yeah like everyone who says they don't do it that you're lying and you just kind

of see what's going on like like you know what people are covering and stuff like that and uh there's so many covers man it's actually crazy it's really cool it's really really do you feel a bit appreciative respond to everyone and be like oh man man, that's really cool? Yeah, well, I mean, I try to reply to everyone. I used to do it on my Instagram. I still do try to get back to a lot of people in the comments, but it just kind of gets a bit overwhelming. And I found myself like I would be on there, and I'm still now doing it.

I'm always trying to reply in the comments. And I'm like, you get a lot of anxiety when you're on your phone for like so long and it's kind of getting out of control. But I try to get back to people when I see stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Just saying you occasionally will Google yourself. Yeah.

Was there any other, was there a Dean Lewis before you with a Dean Lewis? There was a comedian called Dean Lewis. Yeah. And there was another musician called, I think, Harry Dean Lewis. I think he was from Australia as well. Right. And. Oh, he's real pissed off at you now.

You've overtaken him now. I think he had the name first. Like, I mean, he was releasing music before me. So, yeah, I think I've. Well, uh, he's real pissed off at you now. I think he's, he had the name first. Like, I mean, he, he was releasing music before me. So yeah, I think I've,

well, here's Dean Lewis. This is a, um, an assistant teaching professor in mechanical engineering. Wow. He, uh,

he's from Pennsylvania, but is he, is he the, like he's done quite well. He doesn't, he's got a degree. Uh, well,

To really see your own name On like a headstone Or anything No Is that bad Bad luck I mean it's not bad luck For you

The other person With your name's dead So that you'd say Their luck's Expired well before You're going to ask him About volvo you drive a volvo and a music video is that your volvo no that was no they they hired it but we wanted to get something that was like not too swanky because yeah i saw the volvo and i was like he would drive an older like a 90s you've got an 80s volvo look yeah it was like hipster. Oh, you think I'm a hipster?

It looked kind of hipster, the car. It kind of suits you. Thank you. They sent me like car options. They were like, is this car cool? And I was like, that's the car, man. The Volvo? Yeah, yeah.

Was that or a DeLorean? Oh, I would have gone DeLorean. I think the DeLorean would have been too much. Too much. It would have been too much. It would have been a bit, what is it, like cheesy? Like a bit like, you know. It would have taken over.

It would have taken over, yeah. The vibe, yeah. A bit cliche. A bit cliche, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, but no, Volvo. Volvo's better, yeah. I've never heard, like, I don't know if that's a compliment, you look like a Volvo driver.

Like an 80s Volvo driver. Yeah, because there's no safer car on the road than a Volvo and you've got a slight Scandinavian look to you. Someone said that. The puffer jacket definitely makes you look more Scandinavian. I am actually, I don't know, is Norway? Well, I'm 10% Norwegian. We got one of those DNA tests.

So apparently. There's been some bad news. When did you last log on? What happened? They've rejigged it. I was 12% Norwegian, all gone. Really? What are you now?

You might have lost your Norwegian. Well, you wouldn't guess by looking at me, but just plain white. Just plain white, right. Very English, very Irish. But they just like,

did they like go back in time and take care of your ancestors? No, they apparently, when the more people did it, it became more specific. More accurate. More accurate. No way.

Yeah. That's devastating. I hate to break this to you, but maybe, maybe you've got more. Maybe I'm, yeah. Right.

I'll recheck. You need to recheck. Megan lost all of her you, but maybe you've got more. Maybe I'm right. I'll recheck. You need to recheck. Megan lost all of her Viking, didn't you? And I was 8% Spanish, believe it or not. Spanish? Did you lose that? Yeah, it's gone. I was so excited about that.

That is a real kick in the guts because you kind of take ownership of it and you're like, yeah, I'm Norwegian now. And you see paella at a market and you're like, well, I better. 100%, yeah, yeah, yeah. For my people. And you know not to say the L's. Paella. Paella. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You start saying it properly. Hi, I'm. 100%, yeah, yeah, yeah. For my people, I better. And you know not to say the L's. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You start saying it properly. Hi, I'm 8% Spanish. I'll have seafood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dean Lovers, thank you so much for coming in. There are tickets available at Ticketmaster for your show tonight in Auckland at the Town Hall. No worries.

Yes, it's going to be awesome. Can't wait. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Yesterday, a picture popped up on my Instagram, which I'm glad I didn't open in front of my husband, because it would have been like, who's that?

Why are you following them? And then I would have said it's Channing Tatum. Any more questions? But if you open up a picture of a hot celebrity that you follow, like Channing Tatum, would he be grumpy at you? No. If you look over and you see just like what this picture was,

he'd be like, who are you following? Without context. He'd be like, who are you following? Without context. You'd be like, um, because it's Channing Tatum. So you're not allowed to follow hot models. No, but you'd just be like, who is this person and why are you following them? Yeah. Just like I would be if there was just like a whole timeline of like hot models. I'd be like, um, why are you...

Great lie there. Great lie. I can see why you're never in trouble. So, Channing Tatum put up a picture It was him naked in an outdoor shower He was covering his part so wasn't he? Yeah But it was quite raunchy

I know it popped up I was like what is How is this in my timeline? Okay What's going on? Why did he do that? I mean there's nothing to be ashamed of It's Channing Tatum

It's great. But the caption explained. It said, I lost a game of Jenga to Jessica Cornish, Jessie J. The loser, me, had to post a picture the other person, Jess, picked for me. SMH and FML. I'm never playing Jenga with her ever again. Let's just imagine for a moment Jessie J and Chan I'm never playing Jenga with her ever again. So they were playing Jenga. Let's just imagine for a moment GCJ and Channing Tatum playing Jenga.

You know when you're like, you pull on one out and it starts wobbling, you go, whoa. She'd be like, whoa. All right, calm down, mate. Pop me off. Whoa. Yeah. Right. So she then scrolled through his phone, found the photo she wanted to share.

But why would you want as his girlfriend? Because I guess people, there's two approaches to it. I'm not sharing him. How dare you look at my man versus look what I get to have a shower with. Well, yeah, because she did comment and said sharing is caring. Yeah. But like, you don't really want to share your partner with the whole world, do you? Like that?

I don't know what people do anyway. It's a celebrity. She's like, yeah, look what I got. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.

But it's the bets that I wanted to talk about. So they had a bet. They were playing Jenga and there was a consequence of someone lost. So I wanted to know if other people in relationships did relationship bets. If you ever bet on one another and there was consequences if you lost.

I can't think of anything like that. I can't think of anything. We don't play games together anymore because it always ended in like a screaming match. It's a great cranium argument. A great cranium argument of, oh, I don't know. Well, don't give up. Well, I just don't know I'm going to give up.

Well, don't give up. Obviously, I'm humming. Everyone here knows what I'm humming. You've just given up. That's not how that works. We couldn't even play Uno together. She got sent a pack of Uno cards. I was teaching the kids to play and she's like,

we had one game and she started getting really like angry every time I did something. Oh, like you made her pick up five. Yeah. Like I was personally picking on her, but she was just next to me. You are picking on her. That's me. Well, I'm not holding on to a plus one to lose a game.

The idea is to win. And then you do one after the other after the other and that would really piss me off. Well, the kids were like plus five, plus five. And I was like, I'm not picking up 10. Plus five on my issue. She didn't have it. She had to pick up 15. And then she's like, you're packing on me.

I'm like, you are sitting to my left. This is how the game works. Yeah. Yeah, that sounds like me in a game. Just absolutely pack a sad. Too competitive. You don't ever have like a bet outcome? No, not really.

No, I can't think. No. Because it wouldn't have to be a game. You could just have bets over anything with your No, not, no. For anything like that? I can't think, no. Because it wouldn't have to be a game. You could just have bets over anything with your partner. No, I don't think we, you know, we don't really

gamble on our relationship. Or just bets about information, like who wins the bet over, you know, when Google has to fix the... Oh, when Google sells an argument. Yeah.

Oh, there's heaps of those. But it never comes to the I bet you this. This as an outcome. Yeah. Oh, there's heaps of those. But it never comes to the, I bet you this. This as an outcome. You don't. It might do. All right. Well, see what you want to hear from people that have had bets with their partners.

Maybe there has been something embarrassing you've had to do. Yeah. When you've lost. Some kind of fallout when you've lost. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. If you've got a story about having a bet with your partner, give us a call or a text. What a great podcast so far. Wouldn't you agree, Fletch?

Yes. And it's all thanks to Spark. Get one gig of bonus data with the Spark U25 pack. Now, back to the podcast. Channing Tatum has put up a picture on his Instagram. He was under duress because he lost a bet. Him and Juicy J were playing Jenga.

He lost. She got to put up any photo in his camera roll that she wanted, and it was a naked one of him in the shower. So I want to know when you have bets with your partner. Crystal, good morning. Hey, good morning. Good. Now, you and your boyfriend are quite into this, aren't you?

Yeah. When we first started dating about four years ago, I bet him that I could beat him at the movie at a basketball machine because I'm like real good at them. Okay. And he's not.

Okay. And when I won, he was really salty so he glued a whole bunch of 20 cent and 10 cent pieces to a piece of like wood and gave it to me as five bucks.

And I was like, Oh, wow. But we like use that as our betting trophy now. So anytime we have a bet, we're like, well, I'll bet we, like, use that as our betting trophy now. So anytime we have a bet, we're like, well, I'll bet you that I can win the trophy back. So whoever wins the most recent bet has the trophy. Yeah, and if I'm already holding it and he loses again, he actually has to give me five bucks. Oh, he's sort of doubling down.

Who has the trophy currently? Oh, me, totally me. I always do the basketball thing. Right, do you always, who mostly has the trophy currently? Oh, me. Totally me. I always do the basketball thing. Right. Do you always, who mostly has the trophy? Me. Definitely me. I've always got the trophy.

Yeah. God, I'd be finding things you're not good at just to win it back. I just, I'm smart. I don't bet on them. Oh, right. So you have to accept the bet. Good call. Hey, thanks for your call, Crystal.

Emma, you and your boyfriend have a bet. And what does the loser have to do? Or the winner? Oh, well, like, when we need to change sheets on the bed, we just watch an episode of Deal or No Deal, and we choose a case each, and then whoever's case has the highest number in it, they get to put their sheets and duvet on the bed.

So you've got a favourite set of sheets and duvet, and he's got a favourite put their sheets and duvet on the bed. So you've got a favourite set of sheets and duvet and he's got a favourite set of sheets and duvet? Yes. Oh, I thought you meant you just don't like making the bed, so the loser just has to make the bed. Oh, no, no, no. But what you choose, what are these different duvets?

Oh, my one's got like pretty flowers on it. Sometimes if I'm nice, I've got like a nice grey one that I put on, but his one's got like pretty flowers on it. Sometimes if I'm nice, I've got like a nice grey one that I put on. But his one's got like, it's black and white and it's got like surfers on it. Oh, okay. Black and white with surfers on it. I think I like your grey one. Yeah, I would probably go side with you on the doobie situation there.

That's so true. Oh my God. All right. Thanks, Emma. Some text messages. We make bets all the time. When we're on a road trip, we do road trip bets. It always ends up with, you've got to flash your boobies to the next

truck driver that goes past. And things like that. Or you've got to hang your bum out the window. Truck drivers are like, keep that up. Yeah, that's a great game. Everybody should play that. My partner and I bet on the Air New Zealand quiz every time we go away for a long weekend or go away for a trip.

The quiz that's on the screens. And the loser has to buy the other one dinner and drinks for the first night. It's super competitive. The person who sits next to us always looks very uncomfortable as we start. I was going to say

the person sitting next to that would get a bit heated. Yeah. We play orange car, green car. Ever played that? So from what I can find, it's you pick, someone picks orange and someone picks green because

there's both semi-rare colours for cars. Surely there'd be more green cars than oranges. Your mum's got the Mazda, the green Mazda. Yeah, but there's lots of those orange. Is there? Yeah, there's a few orange cars around. So what does the loser have to? And so when you pick your colour car, you also name your favour.

Oh, okay. Of choosing that you would wish that person to do for you later. Stopping at the ice cream shop. Yes. Something like that. Right, okay. And whoever sees their car colour first wins and they get the favour. Right, okay.

Later on. Huh. Everybody wins. Yeah. Really, don't they? Well, not actually. get the favour right later on huh everybody wins yeah really don't they well not actually I'm just thinking now no

those favours could definitely not be everybody's winning so there you go people aren't it's not just Jessie J and Channing Tatum

alright but nobody's sharing semi-nude photos on Instagram as far as we know something else to worry about but we kick off

Friday Jams every Friday with a Friday flashback. It's an age-old tradition. We pick a song that's at least 10 years old. Got to be a banger. Yep. Vaughan, it's your turn this week. Holy moly. The guy that wrote this song is worth $280 million.

What? And you've probably never heard of any other song that he's ever been involved in. So was this the most famous song that he wrote? In the Western world, yes. Oh, okay. Oh, that makes sense now that I know what it is. A.R. Rahman is his name. He's of Indian descent.

So he's done a lot of Bollywood music? And he has been at it for ages. Started in the early 1990s and is still cranking out songs to this very day. Right. But in 2008, he recorded a song in Chennai, in India. And then later on, it got a little bit of a rejuice with the Pussycat Dolls. Oh, good one. It was on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack

and it's the song they dance to at the end of the Danny Boyle movie Slumdog Millionaire. Today's Friday flashback from 2008 is Chai Ho.

Yes. See them. Chai Ho. When you touch the way I'll make you hug it all you got I'll make you wanna say I got fever running like a fire For you I will go all the way I'm gonna take you higher

Feedback, feedback. Some feedback, some feedback. Okay, I'm going to start with that. Okay. Boo and just a thumbs down. Right. This choice is about as good as my ex-girlfriend. So that's...

Well, we don't know. At the time, though, they wanted it. Well, look, to be honest, that could have been more them. Yeah, right. Could have been more them than the ex-girlfriend. True, true. I always feel like a millionaire listening to the song Never a Slumdog. Massive thumbs up, banger, and yars.

That's just a sample of some of the feedback. I'd say more positive. You can't help but love that song. Yeah, somebody said, my two-year-old just heard that for the first song, and they said, Mum, this is my new favourite song. Oh, cute. It's very catchy. It is very catchy.

So, yeah, easy to dance to. Bringing families together as well. Hey, hey, hey, that's just a pleasant side effect. It is, isn't it? A very pleasant side effect. All right. Are we ready to eat some chips? Yeah.

Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Food Fight, the Chippies edition. What is your favourite chip, New Zealand? That is the question we're asking with rounds. We're pitting chip against chip. Oh, no. I've just realised this first round. I'm out. I can't decide between those two.

You can't choose between these two? No. This is one of my faves. Same. If you've got an opinion, you can vote on our Instagram, FBMZM, or text or call 9696 0800 DARSZM. First round. This is a good show.

These ones are good. I love these. These are Eda Uppercut's Deli Cut Sweet Chili Relish. They're good. And a bit of a tang to it. Probably too spicy for your mum. If she's a white baby boomer like mine. Oh, that had a good crunch to it.

I love the flavour of these. They nail the flavour. These are good. Have they been around long enough, though, for them to be an absolute favourite? You know what I mean? Yeah, these are groundswell. That's a party fave.

Yeah, these are good. I always buy these for a party. They're a real party pleaser because they're not too hot for the people who don't like hot food, but there's just a little bit of a tang for the people who like those amongst us who love a bit of spice. Megan's sipping the packet because she's still not eating the chips. Up against those, though.

This is a childhood favourite, much like the ration in the burger ring. These, again, are a cheese-flavoured snack. Fighting the Apricot Sweet Chilli Relish is the... I wasn't happy with that one. You want to do it again? It ricocheted into my mouth too early. I want to do it again. Hold on.

Okay. That was too slow. But okay. That was too slow. One more. Hey, he says, just an excuse to eat Cheezels. Here we go. Cheezels.

Cheezels. It is. It's an interesting fight because you've got your age old versus your new modern chip. They're a finger licker. Put one on every finger and then like eat them off. I remember the day that my fingers became too fat for a Cheezel. I was real sad. Not fat.

I just grew. I didn't eat so many Cheezels. I haven't even tested. My fingers got too fat for a chisel. I was real sad. Not fat. I just grew. I didn't eat so many chisels. I haven't tested. My fingers got too fat. But yeah, I can't fit. Could you put a burger ring on your little finger? Oh, yeah. That counts.

On your middle finger. Oh, that counts? I used to be able to get it further down. I used to get it past the first knuckle. Oh, as long as it stays there. Yeah. Can you pass the chisels around, mate? Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.

Those are good. Those are good. People forget how good chisels are, but, nom, nom. Those are good. Those are good. People forget how good Cheezels are, but I have not forgotten. But see, I'd still prefer a burger ring than a Cheezel. No. No, Cheezels. Because to me, there's not enough flavor. There's so much.

There's not enough flavor for all the chips. It's a different flavor, isn't it? Yeah. Tastes more. It's not a ration. It's a bit plain-y. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

It's just straight up cheese. I think because I've just tried that, I think I'm going for the sweet chilli relish over the chisel. More flavour. Those chisels really ticked a box for me this morning. I'm not sure why, because I love the sweet chilli relish, but that chisel really hit me in all the right places. So that's one of the rounds that you can vote for now on our Instagram,

FNZM. This is the other one. Well, that's a thick packet. Yeah, these are pretty good. We say this every time. These are multi-purpose. Let me tell you why. Because next and representing corn chips is the New Zealand grown corn Mexicano corn chips.

Mmm. They're a round corn chip. And as I say at the bottom, I've never seen this on the packet before. It says ideal for nachos. Now these are great for nacho chips. I like the circle as opposed to a triangle because if I try and shove a whole triangle

and my mouth cuts the side of my mouth. You get a stab, don't you? You get a stab. Well, a circle can't stab you. That's, and it's just the perfect size. Yeah, that's good. You know how I knew that was going to be good? Cavanous mouth.

It was curled over like a mouth, so it was already ready for my mouth. I told you it was going to be good. Those are good. Now, they are up against, you'd say, a favourite. I would say New Zealand's premium vinegar chip. These are grown in New Zealand. They're a New Zealand product,

I believe. Well, I'm saying they get their potatoes from around the place, but I know Tumaru providing many a potato. For the Heartland potato chip, apple cider vinegar. Didn't someone send you

a packet of these because they were from Tumaru? Yeah, no. Sam bought them up from Timaru. Eat these chips. Yeah, our friend Patsy's brother Sam. He was like, have you ever had these? I was like, never heard of them.

And then it turns out I had. They were at the shop right by my house. He bought them all the way from Timaru. But they are good. They're a premium. They are a premium. I'm not going to eat that one. I want a big one.

Heartland apple cider vinegar. Yes. Not just normal cider vinegar. So. They're a premium. They're a premium. I'm not going to eat that one. I want a big one. So they're Heartland Apple Cider Vinegar. Yes. Not just normal cider vinegar. So a bit of a tang. Yeah, they're good. I know that copper kettley vibe of, you know, like a real crunchy chip. Okay, so those are the chips to vote on.

This is a hard round. What are you voting for in that round, Megan? I can't decide between the Sweet Chili Relish and the Cheezels. I can't do it. Because that's my new fave and my old fave. Yeah. It's a battle of who you were versus who you are. Okay, so early voting.

Yeah. I'm going to go sweet chilli relish versus Cheezels. It's Cheezels 52%. Yes! To sweet chilli relish. Oh, see, there's my answer. I'm happy that Cheezels are ahead. It's early voting.

It can swing a little bit at this stage. That's close too. Okay, the Heartland potato chips versus the Mexicano corn chips. I'm going Mexicano and I'm in the majority. You're the majority? You're going... It's the war's hammer, isn't it? The majority.

59% to 41. Who? Mexicano. Is beating Heartland. I voted Heartland. Heartland, they haven't been around as long. They're not in the nation's psyche. You think they're boutique-y?

Yes, they are. Are they boutique-y? I think they are, yeah. Not a lot of people have come across them. Show yourself. Well, you can vote. Yeah, you should, you should. FBM, ZM.

You're worth it, baby. On our Instagram. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Sheesh, I'm the bearer of bad news here, millennials, and that's everybody. Once you turn 27, your health is going to plummet. Is, produce, Caitlin, are you turning 28 this year or did you turn 28 last year?

I'm 28, so I'm turning 29 in August. How do you know for health? I thought you were only turning 28 this year. Well, I think I'm turning 22, so I'm turning 29 in August. How do you know for how long? I thought you were only turning 28 this year. Well, I think I'm turning 22, so let's just go with that. Yeah, I always get that. No, I remember 28

in my head for you, Caitlin, but I couldn't work out if you were or about to. I'm 30 next year, guys. No, you're not. You sure? Oh, you are. I always do that.

29 this year and then 30 next year. Oh, my goodness. I know. It gets you prepared. We're going to have to have a big party. But, hey, you've got a boyfriend now. I know.

Hopefully I still have him. Oh, my God. Me too. I mean, I hope you have him. We do. I mean, how will we ever know, though? That's the thing. I don't know how we're going to ever know that you've still got a boyfriend.

I'll let you know. Oh, will you? Yeah. This is bad news for you because over 27, it all starts to fall away. What? It's like a rocket going into space. How old are you, James, producer James? 26.

I've seen 27 this year. Okay, so this is you as well, mate. Yeah, I'm getting right up there. I'm on the brink. You can be smug for a few more years in turn, aren't you? Yeah, I'm young ass. Are you prepared for it all to come crashing down. What if you're mentally like 40?

Oh, yeah, she's mentally 40. No, that's good, though, because you've skipped it. You're millennial nana. Millenni-nana. Millenni-nana. Nanillennial. Nanillennial. That's good, though.

So, overall, millennials have a poorer health rate than Gen Xs or any previous. I mean, imagine this doesn't go back as far as people who lived in the 1800s who were dying of all like horrible diseases. Of measles. Imagine dying of measles. And just going down the wrong path and getting eaten by a bear. That doesn't happen as much anymore. But Gen Xs had a lower rate of depression.

Millennials also got higher rates of hyperactivity, substance misuse, type 2 diabetes, and Crohn's disease amongst other chronic conditions. So apparently the younger millennials, people under 27, very, very healthy. Very, very healthy. But as the minute seems to be 27, something seems to happen. Well, very healthy. But it's the minute it seems to be 27, something seems to happen.

Well, Caitlin, what's happened in the last year? I got a boyfriend. I found it was around there that your metabolism absolutely puts the handbrake on. I feel like that hasn't been like that for ages now. It might be different with girls. You were driving along and your mate pulled on the handbrake as a laugh, and instead of slowing down, you just got fat.

So speaking from my own experience. I feel like I ever had a metabolism. Yes, I mean, lose it. You've been walking along the side of the road the whole time. The rest of us just got kicked out of the car. But we're used to going fast. Oh, finally. Oh, you're here now.

Okay. I mean, I was never in a Ferrari. I was kind of in a family wagon all the way down that road, but I was moving. I have really noticed, and I actually said this to my mum the other day, that I need to stop laughing because I have got laugh lines around my eyes, and it's really stressing me out. But that's just, wouldn't you rather be laughing than being miserable? Yes, I know, but I also really don't want lots of wrinkles.

There's also, I need to stop frowning. Why don't you just go Botox then, if you care that much? I know, but I also really don't want lots of wrinkles. There's also, I need some frowning. Go Botox then if you care that much. I know. I should. Your mum's a nurse. She'll just get mum to do it. No, because you'll get over Botox. She can't do Botox.

And then you'll be like. Don't nurses do that for like headaches and for like over sweaty armpits and stuff like that? I don't. My mum doesn't do that. Specialist, specific nurses. I need to get rid of my fletch frown, so I know how to do that. So rude.

Murder fletch. Yum. Shall I just leave? I killed him to get rid of the frown. I'll be like, Botox. I knew there was another option. I didn't quite know what it was. But yeah, so that...

At least you won't get sun damage in prison for the next 20 years. Oh, that's a bonus. That's true. You'll come out... Everyone always comes out of prison looking younger, don't they? Sure. Everyone, you know, everybody. Where have you been?

Have you been overseas? You're looking great. I've been in prison for murder for 20 years, non-parole. Does this article give any help or does it just say we're all doomed? Pretty much just all doomed. Oh, right. Okay, I was hoping for maybe some angles,

some good tips out of it. Drink more water. I mean, that's a basic one you got there. Less alcohol. Well, I mean, things like type 2 diabetes, anxiety and stress So a lot of it they said is A lot of the conditions are obesity related

But then I think that that generation's healthier than Yeah like kombucha The one before it Love kombucha It doesn't do anything And acai bowls What are they called?

Achi Achi bowls Aki Aki bowls Aki Asahi bowls Asahi That's the Japanese beer My bowls. What are they called? Archie. Archie bowls. Archie. Archie bowls. Archie. Yeah. Asahi bowls. Asahi.

No, that's the Japanese beer. And we do poke bowls. I love poke bowls. They're always expensive though. I love poke bowls and I love poke bowls. Fact of the day, day a little bridge in Venice. I've never been to Venice myself, but I believe you've both been to Venice? Correct, yes.

The Italian city built sort of over water, isn't it? The famous canals of Venice. Yep. Friends of ours got pickpocketed in Venice. Yeah, it's a hot spot for pickpockets. Yeah. Somebody else said that they didn't like it whatsoever. It smelled like wheeze.

But then, I mean, was the water not flowing much? Oh, no, I love Venice. Yeah, if there's not much water flow, it gets a bit stanky. It gets a bit stanky. Yeah. Anyway, this little bridge in Venice is called Ponte delle Tette. And it translates to Bridge of the Titties. Fun!

And you know why? Are you Googling Bridge of the... Of the boobies. Please say boobies. No, because the last... Tonte is bridge. Of that is delle. And tete on the end. Ponte del tete.

Ponte del tete. So this bridge was where prostitutes... Why does it have a double? A double... Hmm? Oh, you're thinking two bridges. Yeah, like double speed humps. No, no, it's not because it looks like a bridge.

It's just a single overbridge. Yes, it's a very, very old bridge. It was named this in the 1600s, so it's been around for a while. It was the one bridge where prostitutes were allowed to stand and show the men going to and from work or home, hopefully not to their wives and family. They'd be scooting along there in the canal, and they could stand above it and

show them their wares from that one specific bridge. It was rife, apparently, through Venice prostitution and they restricted it and they passed a whole lot of official decrees in the 1400s and restricted where they could go and when they could do it. And that was the bridge where you were allowed to show off your tete's. Tete's. Did you read the bit about the converting suspected homosexuals? Yes, they would lure men from there, wouldn't they?

If a single man went past and wasn't interested in it, they would convince him and then they would lure him into a nearby building and convert him. So if you were a guy that just wanted a fun time, just pretend not to be into it. Yeah. Play it cool. I don't like this. I don't like those boobs.

No siree. Monsieur. Luigi. Uh-uh. I'm not saying Luigi had the boobs. No. Is it? Probably.

As I said, I've never been. But yeah. Could you just imagine the person that's trying to get this around, like, oh, we should let them stay. Why? Oh, you know. The homosexuals. It's a great ploy to get them back into women.

And then we can leave them there doing their thing. Yes. And everyone's like. Forever catching and converting more homosexuals. And they're like, good, yeah, let them stay. Yes. And then they're all like, yes. Yes. And everyone's like, forever catching and converting more homosexuals. And they're like, good, yeah, let them stay. Yes. And then they're all like,

yes. Weird. And then someone gets caught and his wife's like, what were you doing? He's like, I was having gay thoughts. What about mine? Don't know.

That was just, the bridge was there and it had the name, so I thought. And then like, just scanning through the wiki, like, even in the 1500s,

they taxed them. And they used the taxes to build like, more stuff. Yeah. Huh. So, and they used the taxes to build like more stuff. Yeah. Huh. So, well that's the way to get

a bit more money into the taxes. Make things that were previously illegal legal but tax them heavily. Get a bit more money in there. So today's fact of the day

is there is a small bridge oh and it's on the Rio di San Canziano in Venice, Italy. Can you apologise to all the Italians listening that you're offending? I'm sorry. Thank you. To all the Italians.

You're really massacring this beautiful language. How to say sorry in Italian. Do you need your audio plug? Sper sente. I'm watching, is it season four of Peaky Blinders at the moment? And the Italians have come to town, so I feel like you've got that. That's how Adrian Brody does it. That's like a Marlon Brando-inspired Italian gangster.

Right. For mispronouncing your bridge. So today's fact of the day is there's a small, very, very old bridge in Venice that's name translates to Bridge of the Titties. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. another lame scooter story. Hello there. Wow. It's been a little while. Yeah, I feel like they've been quiet in the news. They've been behaving themselves.

I mean, you know, they fixed all these scooters and then... Yeah, and they even put some new ones out there. Crashing them. Yeah. Well, or have they? Well, there has been... Well, the story today we bring you is that ACC have revealed another big jump in e-scooter claims since they've been back on the road.

So there was a time early February where they were off the road due to the locking of the wheels. Was it about three weeks? Yeah, I think they were about three weeks they were off the road. And the ACC claims for those three weeks significantly lower. And ACC claims have jumped back up again. Yeah. After they were reinstated as able to be driven around Auckland on footpaths. Right.

Because at the same time, though, they weren't banned in other centres. Dunedin, they were, eh? Yes, Dunedin. But I think Christchurch remains using the limes. Now, maybe that accounts for the 27 people in the week of February 24th that claimed ACC

for their injuries. However, 27, you might think, heck, that's a lot. It was 81 the week before and two weeks later it was 114 when they were back on the road.

Wow. Wow. And they've also broken down of the total 1,964 injuries what kind of injuries they were back on the road. Wow. Wow. And they've also broken down of the total 1,964 injuries what kind of injuries they were. And to be fair, it's not all lime scooters. No, no, no, it's just scooters. NEE scooters.

Oh, okay. Scooters, yeah. So the most popular type of injury was the soft tissue injury. That's when you skin off your knee? Yeah. Cut yourself. Well, no, a bit more than that because coming in at second place with 567 is the laceration, puncture or sting.

Oh, which of course you're going to go to a hospital for, aren't you? Because if you just graze, you just go home, won't you? Yeah, probably. Yeah, you're not going to claim ACC. Fracture or dislocation at 310. So that's probably your ankles, your knees. And is this since when? October.

Yeah, this is since October. Wow. Dental injury, 43 dental injuries. Oh, no. Is that like headbutting the handlebars with your mouth? Well, to be honest, this is probably breaking the rules. In fact, I know it's breaking the rules, but I doubled Indy on it, my daughter.

And I was like, we're going to hit a bum. And she said, what? And she opened her mouth and said, we'll hit the bum. And she went clunk and whacked her teeth on the handlebars. And she was like, ow. But we were going pretty slow. Right. So lucky.

Did you tell Sade? Oh, no, she told Sade. She's at that age now where you can't tell her not to tell her mother something. She'll just tell her. Concussional brain injury, 37%. 37 injuries, not 37%. 37 injuries of the 1900. Gradual onset injuries for an other 49.

So does it have a total amount of how much that's all come to? Price-wise? I don't have a price breakdown in the charts that I was reading. It's up, oh yeah, $1.4 million. Jeez. Over those 1,900. So Auckland had 900 of them. Christchurch had 500 of the injuries.

Hutt Valley, 139. Rest of New Zealand, 327. Oh, dang. And $1.4 million in claims for ACC. I've noticed in the city, Lyme are obviously paying people in, because they've got Lyime t-shirts on and helmets to just scoot around town

and I saw one of them pull over someone doubling yesterday and say, hey, you can't double get off. Oh really, so they're promoting but also Yeah, kind of like an unauthorised Lime police. Telling people to be safe. But then like the Lime people that are in these t-shirts are just like

taking up, they're always on the footpath like weaving in and out of people. I'm always just then, like, the Lime people that are in these T-shirts are just, like, taking up... They're always on the footpath, like, weaving in and out of people. I'm always just like, get out of it. Right. The official representatives are more annoying than the actual riders. But they're the only ones wearing helmets. Because obviously when you hire a Lime, you don't get a helmet. No, unless you carry a helmet with you.

Then you have to carry it with you. No, but I'd wear one if they clipped it onto the scooter and just everyone left the helmet there. Yeah, but they can't guarantee that anyone's going to leave it. Yeah, it's like all those Onzo helmets. They're all on trees and lampposts, aren't they? That's why we can't have anything nice. Yeah, it's true.

Or anything safe. All right. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Well, our Facebook this week with a developers conference, a lot of announcements on privacy. Mark Zuckerberg, he made a privacy joke and nobody laughed. What was his privacy joke? I think he just said some off-the-cuff kind of comment.

Expected people to laugh. He went off script. But people were like, nah, mate, you've kind of been screwing us all for like the last forever. Yeah, okay. Good on you. Well, there were more details and an announcement

that Facebook dating is going to roll out to more countries. And at the moment, it's already been available in countries like Colombia, Thailand, Canada, Argentina, Mexico.

They've announced that they're going to roll out to 14 extra countries, but New Zealand or Australia are not on that list. They're all either Southeast Asia or South America, South American countries. So have you seen a model for this? How does Facebook dating work?

So the idea is that you've got to be friends with them on Facebook already. Oh. So the idea is that when you enable it on your profile or within Facebook, you can select up to nine of your Facebook friends that you want to express interest in. That's weird. That's weird. And it's already weird, right? So if these people as well have opted into Facebook dating,

they will then get a notification saying that someone has a crush on them. Then if that person adds you to their list of secret crushes, a match will happen and we'll say, hey, look, they're interested in you too. Go forth and send each other pics. Right. Which maybe on Messenger by the time this gets here will be encrypted. Who knows? Yeah.

And then, of course, you go from there. So I guess it's like Tinder. It's just hard, but you already have to have had some kind of interaction and added each other on Facebook. That's the hard part. Yeah, and I feel like you would have already, if you've added each other on Facebook or Instagram, you've probably sent them a message.

But then maybe not. Maybe people have just added and that's where it's at. Yeah. Right. You used to be able to Facebook poke them. That was kind of like the old. Now you can wave. That was kind of the old. Yeah, but that's a messenger wave, isn't it?

That's a bit like. But then if someone you kind of have met once adds you on Facebook, you know that they're into you, right? Maybe. Or like if you meet someone, maybe it'll encourage people more. Like if you're out and you meet someone, you'll be like, hey, should I like add you on Facebook? Yeah, yeah. It'll encourage you to do that more. Oh, no, because then they encourage people more, like if you're out and you meet someone, you'll be like, hey, how you doing on Facebook? Yeah, yeah.

It'll encourage you to do that more. Oh, no, because then they can see everything, can't they? Yeah, and all the bad photos that you haven't untagged. Yeah, yeah. See, I'd rather add someone on Instagram before I added them on Facebook. It's why you have timeline review, Fletch. How many times do I have to tell you? So you don't have to untag photos.

Because I posted so much in the early days that, you know, I'd have to go back and untag so many photos. There's a lot of work to be done. So let's just keep it to Instagram where that's highly curated. Yeah, yeah. I was going to say a highly curated expose of your life. We ran a poll on the ZM Facebook page. Will you use the new secret crush feature on Facebook? Nope.

Creepy AF. 73%. Yeah. And 27% of people saying, yeah, I'll do anything for love. But is it just that we don't understand it yet? Like every change Facebook makes, we're against it until we understand it. No, I think it's bringing people into your like private pages, something else. Like, you know, there's one thing letting people see like a Tinder profile or a dating profile

or your Instagram, but Facebook's way more stuff. Yeah, because your mum's on there too. And your mum's on there. Your mum's in the mix. Yeah. And then she'll see you've matched when are you getting married?

Yeah, who's this boy? Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Bree and Clint to listen to? Subscribe on the iHeartRadio app
