ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch Warner-Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Warner-Megan. One minute past six. Got a flash guy on the show. Called her dad in the studio. Studio. Who noticed this first? Was it Anya? Yeah. I didn't even say anything.

I was going to say anything. Somebody. I was going to fly under the radar. Somebody has purchased themselves an Apple Watch. It's me. I've wanted one for a long time, and so I got myself one. Why did you want one? Because of all the neat functions. Which we just ran through, and you're like, oh, how do I do that?

Well, I just took it out of the box So good to know When you're walking south And when the sun comes up 100% That's super That's super What's my resting heart rate Well you guys have

Bloody got it up Keep you happy What is it Well so far today I've had a 51 beats per minute Resting heart rate But that would include Sleep

Okay 4 hours of sleep Well I don't know Is it a 24 Does it stop at midnight and restart? Current, 61. That's an athlete's heart rate. Oh, my God.

But what else are you going to use it for? How many steps have you taken? I don't know. How do I find that out? If I text you, does it come up on it? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. It does.

Okay. I can track my cycle. Huh. I'll be pregnant before I know it. Okay. I can track my cycle. Huh. I'll be pregnant before I know it. Wonderful. Do you know, my best friend's got one, but when your texts come up on it all the time, she's constantly looking at her watch when you talk.

Like, it makes you look really antisocial because it looks like you're like, what's the time? Get me out of here. Yeah. This conversation's going too long. Whereas checking your phone's a little less antisocial? Yeah.

Or probably more... At least it doesn't look like you're, like, checking the timing, a little less antisocial? Yeah. Or probably more... At least it doesn't look like you're like checking the timing, like got to get out of here. So I can tell you not only what way I'm walking, but at what incline we're walking up.

Oh my God. Oh, thank God. If we were to walk up Baldwin Street, I'd be able to tell you our compass direction. God, and you are a dad. You're going to be doing that too.

Thank God. Guess what, kids? That's what I'll be saying. Does it have like a rain radar in it? It's got a weather. You can have all these different faces to it, Megan. One of them can be like what the weather's doing for the next wee bit.

Okay. Which I know you're excited about. Well, I'll just walk outside and see what it's doing. Okay, if anybody's just pulled some dad shit, it's the person who just said, just walk outside and see what the weather's like. Oh, but excuse me, dads are the ones who tap the barometer and tell you about the week ahead. Yeah, that's atmospheric predictions, Megan.

That's a dad's game. That's a completely different thing. That's a lost art. Oh, God. Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. ZM. ZM, Fletch Warner Megan. The show thanks to Spark prepaid data stack.

The longer you stay, the better it gets. Do you want to say the time on your Apple Watch? 607 and 31 degree incline. Currently facing 281 degrees approximately west. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines.

Quirky, odd, unusual news stories. We've won a Megan pick. Only one headline. The others we never find out about. Headline one. $18,000 cat goes missing in Roswell. $18,000 cat? Is that one of those ones that Justin Bieber has?

It's a savannah. Is that what he's ones that Justin Bieber has? It's a Savannah. Is that what he's got? Yeah. Yeah. So it's a Savannah cat. Yeah. And for those that were, I guess, watch TV, when was Alf on? That's what everybody's been making jokes about.

Alf. That is so good. You're Willie. And everyone's like, well, it's gone missing in Roswell. Aliens, cats. I thought you were going to reference early 2000s TV show, Roswell. But I was like, I didn't know the cat connection. Even better, you've gone back to the 80s for now.

Catherine Heigl's mention. Yeah. Headline two, customers jump in to help. And headline three, Loveland pays out. Those are your headlines today. Choose one. Loveland pays out. Yes.

One word, Loveland. Oh! Was it a theme park? Incorrect, Warren. No, it's a town in the United States. Loveland. I've forgotten what story two was. Customers jump in to help. Two. You want two? Customers jump in to help.

That's my pick. Okay, this may trigger Megan. I'm glad. Because didn't your chef quit the cafe? I think you do so well. Megan does, with all the dramas as an employer that Megan goes through on the daily, you do so well not to on-air vent. Because if it was Fletch and I,

it would be every day. I'd be like, look, these unreliable- No, it's not. They're great. That's why I don't want them to leave because then I have to find someone else. Oh, it'd be so hard though, running all those people.

You do do an amazing job. But Waffle House customers, this is in Alabama. Alabama Waffle House. They went is in Alabama. Alabama Waffle House. They went along. It was a packed night. And there was only one staff member on because of people calling in sick. Oh, my God.

That's another favourite of yours. Like one staff member is in the whole place. Yes. Oh. So apparently Waffle House have since said that employees had planned to leave after the first part of the shift. And that caused a little gap. So I don't know if people walked off the job, but there was one employee in a busy Waffle House restaurant in America, in this Birmingham, Alabama store.

They're calling it a miscommunication over shifts. Oh my God. So that's when customers stepped in. And there are photos online of customers who have gone in behind to help with various things like coffee. They're busing orders to the table. This old mate's doing the washing up. Oh, he's a good man. He jumped in to wash up and take orders to the table.

And the other woman in the high heels and the dress, I don't know if she had a big, she's coming from da club, but she's in there as well helping with some of the food prep while the one staff member's kind of on the hot grill doing kind of the serious kind of cooking stuff.

Oh, that's pretty sweet, actually. Yeah. And they have obviously come out and said that they've done a great job, but that's obviously not how we like to run the place and we'd like our customers

to be customers and that this won't happen again. But yeah, pretty amazing. If it was a one-off, it would be like a unique dining experience. But,

yeah. Good lord. How would one person literally have done it themselves? You order, they take their order at the table and then run into the kitchen.

But also in America, you'd constantly be like, please don't eat yourself because if someone hurts themselves there's no ACC and if they didn't have health insurance

they could totally sue you for damages because you got on the grill. And someone, a customer could complain about health and safety. Yeah.

But they obviously were all felt really sorry for the person. It looks late at night so I think they were just maybe after some drunk nibs

and everyone just like got in. Got in. Got in, yeah. Got in. I feel like if you are going to Denny's or Macca's after a few drinks, just pitch in. Imagine if you always dreamt of being a chef like a ratatouille. Except no rats.

Right, and then you finally get your chance. You guys have seen Ratatouille, right? I think so. Fletch won't have seen Ratatouille. No, I just know it's about a rat with a chef's hat. He's in the chef's hat. Yeah. And he's driving the chef by pulling his hair.

There's far more to it than that. It's a really great animated movie. Is it? The guy wants to be a chef and he lacks the skills. And the rat's told by his rat dad that he can't be a fine chef because he's a rat and he just eats trash. But he wants better for himself. It's a real good story about why you shouldn't just be happy doing what your parents have done and what you should be told to do.

Strive to be your own person. Or rat in this case. Wow, that's really deep, isn't it, for this early? Mm, yeah. Ratatouille's a great movie. I recommend everybody get in on it. Pretty lost on kids, so it was kind of targeted at that. A bit more of an adult animated film there. Yeah, right.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Government departments in New Zealand have been caught trying to access porn online. Oh, come on. So between July 27 this year and October, July, August, September, October.

Three months. Yum. I just had to September, October. Three months. Yeah. I just had to figure it out. Three months there were 12 attempts to access and I've got the websites. 12? 12 attempts. Okay. That's four a month, one a week. Okay.

That's not very much. You can't work. Yeah, but you think everybody that would work for a government department. I reckon you could write off one a week to curiosity, to like research. You know what I mean? No, no one's with me here. I'm trying to, guys, I'm trying to help out a brother in need. I don't think it's, because there's other stats down here,

like the Ministry of Māori Development, their staff attempted to access Pornhub 42. They wanted to see if there's any representation on there. They want to be, you know, you said, inclusiveness and such. There was 42 sessions. Oh, this is between October 2018 and the 1st of August. Oh, so nearly a year. Yeah.

Okay. But there's a list of the websites too. I've never actually heard of any of these and I don't know if it's offensive to read them out. I would almost assume, Megan, if it's a web address for a porn site, then it would be probably. Is it

just porn.com one? Or is someone just trying their luck? See, that's what I'm saying is that people would be in discussion. We would have that discussion around here. Do you reckon anyone owns porn.com? Like, that would be a very valuable... Website.

Website. And then someone types it in. We'd type it in. Roll the dice on who's going to do it. You'd type it in. It'll just flag us for writing that word, even if it's not a website. Go for it.

So, Department of Conservation staff have been blocked from accessing prohibited websites 51,000 times in one month. Department of Conservation? Yeah. Well... What? Staff at the Department of Conservation have been blocked 148 times from accessing pornography websites since the end of January. What?

So of the prohibited X-rated sites staff attempted to enter from January 29 until now, 54 were from other sites with referrals. So you're on a legitimate site maybe and then it refers you. Is that accidental? Well, you could probably say it was. Like I clicked on a pop-up. Yeah, yeah. The most popular site staff unsuccessfully tried to click on were stripchat.com. Stripchat.

That's chat. That's got an interactive element to it. That's crazy. Department of Conservation, is there any, like, do you think it's all the horny dock workers up in Harts? Up in Harts. Just get a bit bored. Yeah.

Well, I don't know. What's your experience on internet coverage at Harts? It's not that good. It's rubbish. It's patchy at best. Yeah. You'd always be best to download some videos before you go tramping. What?

But it's always important to keep your cell phone battery for emergency calls. Exactly. When you're in the wild, in the bush. You don't want to use it all playing with yourself because then... You won't get a rescue helicopter and you'll die. They'll find you dead and they'll be like, Oh yeah, I can see what's happened to you. So do you reckon they can see exactly who's doing what?

Because it says there was two porn harm attempts on the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice? Can they see exactly, like, you have a login and stuff, I imagine, on your intranet? Surely. If they're going through work, you'll be able to pinpoint when it happened, who did it,

like what logon it was on. Yeah. That's why if there's any dubious websites that I'm looking at for, obviously for work, I just wait till Megan goes to the toilet. And look on her laptop. Use her laptop. Well, at 6, 7, let me put on record at 6.17am this Tuesday, the date today, you've used your Apple Watch app.

No, I've got it on the wrong setting. The 12th of November. Apple Watch cannot tell you your time. No, I've got it on this other one. It's telling me it's mostly cloudy though. On this day, November, mostly cloudy, 12 degrees. Yeah. I can tell you that I tried to access porn.com to see if it was a website.

Wouldn't let me. Went on my phone, changed itcom to see if it was a website. Wouldn't let me. Went on my phone, changed it to sell coverage. It is a website. Is it? It is a website. Of course it is a website. Never heard of it. It just felt like it was too obvious. Yeah, I know. Next thing you were telling me, recipes.com was like,

got recipes on it. Recipes.com. Well, like pants.com. What do they sell? Can you please tell me what's on pants.com? Oh, no. Oh, pants. I'm trying to go to pants.

Oh, but it's rubbish pants. It's like, surely, like, I don't know, like a jeans company should have bought that, right? Pants.com, yeah. Yeah. Recipes.com. Yep. Christmas dessert recipes.

I just went to dogs.com. Yeah. Nothing. Really? It said dogs.com didn't send any data. What does that mean? It's a waste of time, isn't it? What about cats.com?

Searching. Cats.com is... No, it's nothing. You can have that. Oh, no, someone will have that. They're just not using it. That's a waste, isn't it? Yeah.

Bananas.com. What's on Bananas.com? It's all guitars and amps. What's on Mandarins.com? It's not Bananas. It's just a picture of you. I've just got to look at my bag of Mandis today. Mandarins.com.

Buy this domain. Oh, my God. What is the Mandarin Council's missing out here, aren't they? What an absolute... This is the first thing you check when you start a business in an area. Especially if it involves mandarins. Yeah. Get in there.

Mandarins.com, mandarins.com, both available. Tangerine.com, available. Brilliant. Satsuma, which is the other name for a mandarin, also available apparently. Goodness me. Oh, I searched coolguy.com and it said, is this where you're supposed to be? I think not. Ouch.

Crushing blow. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Kia ora. It is going to be haere rā to the Queen Street Santa after this Christmas. The old boy who's been on, and I just, because I'm sure when my dad drove trucks, dad would do, dad would have a holiday for milking the cows and he'd drive trucks. His idea of a holiday was to do other jobs. But then mum would milk the cows and he used to drive trucks to the port of Auckland from

Morrisville. Yeah. And we used to go past the Monaco shopping centre and I'm sure there was a few years where that centre was on the side of that big building there. I might have to do some severe Googling to see if that's the case. But it used to be not always on Queen Street. It was on the Farmers Building, what is now the Heritage Hotel. Right.

Around the corner here from work. So it's got this long 60-year history. So it's either going to be scrapped or chucked out or recycled somehow. Repurposed in some fashion. Yeah. So I've got the top six things to do with the Queen Street Santa post-retirement. Number six on the list of the top six things to do with the Queen Street Santa post-retirement. Number six on the list of the top six things to do with the Queen Street Santa. He's an old Aucklander who's retiring,

so I assume he's already bought a place in central Otago. Sure. He'll be popping down there. Probably more of a Cromwell guy than a Queenstown guy. He just likes a bit of the quieter pace, but just loves a hot summer and a cold winter. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six things to do with Queen Street Santa.

I say we slap him on some roadside cliff somewhere in the country or on the Huntley Power Station chimneys. Yes. We're all in on it. Yeah. As New Zealanders, we never talk about it to tourists. Yeah, we just put it there. Yeah, and tourists are like, what's up with the giant Santa on the roadside cliff?

We're like, what are you talking about? Could we slide him down the chimney and the smoke just comes out of his mouth? Oh, yeah. Or his hat. Or just have him climbing up the chimney. Yeah, that'd be lovely. Because Santa famously slides down a chimney, doesn't he? That's a great idea.

Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six things to do with Queen Street Santa, Topo's got its McDonald's plane, hasn't it? Something that makes no sense. Well, I would like to introduce you, ladies and gentlemen, to Hastings KFC Santa. Why KFC and why Hastings? Who knows?

Who knows? Just like the plane. Yep. Makes no sense. Or is it the Colonel? The Colonel has a Santa-esque quality. We'll never know. And again, we don't talk about it.

Number three on the list of the top six things to do at the Queen Street Santa, a giant scarecrow to keep the birds off your strawberries. Yeah, nice. Okay. Birds aren't going to go anywhere near that giant freaky. You're probably going to get his finger moving again. You can probably keep the sun off your strawberries too.

Giant eclipse. Yeah, that's a problematic thing, Megan. We might have to make him transparent somehow. Number two on the list of the top six things to do at the Queen Street Santa. Put him at the mouth of the Wellington Harbour to welcome everyone on the Inter-Islander. Oh, that'd be lovely. And the Blue Bridge. And the Blue Bridge.

Yes, yes, very true. Any ferry service. Or any shipping ship. Sure, any kind of ship. Welcomed in by the Blue Bridge. Yes, yes, very true. Any ferry service or any shipping ship. Sure, any container ship. Welcome to the Big Santa. Anything, yeah. And number one on the list of the top six things to do at the Queen Street Santa, maybe he could get a job at a mall.

Yeah, right, okay. And have like 18 kids on his lap at once. That's going to get through that line a lot quicker. Yeah. If you think about it. That is today's top six. There's something you might be doing that is literally ruining your dog's life.

I've found that the way that you train your dog could have a very real effect on how they live their life. So if you are very calm when you train them and use a rewards based system like a treat based system, they're going to be happier than if you are very calm when you train them and use a rewards-based system, like a treat-based system, they're going to be happier than if you yell at them. So if you yell at your dog, it scares them long term. What, so they need therapy?

Well, they've found that they have more cortisol in their saliva, which is the stress hormone. They also found that when they were trying to train, they used two different methods to train dogs. So the calm way and like a yelly system. And the dogs who had been yelled at had more stress behaviours, like lip licking, paw raising, yawning. And they also weren't as good at completing tasks

so they, I love how they describe this task they had locating a bowl with a sausage in it and a room full of empty sausage smeared bowls Wow what a test. So the ones who were forcefully yelled at to try and train them

they took longer to find the sausage and they were more depressed and they said less hopeful dogs. How sad is that? But what do you do if your couch, if your dog, say for example, eats your couch? You don't yell at it.

Scream at it. What are you meant to do? Give them a treat and say bad dog? But the problem is with that is often you find it afterwards and there's no point. They don't know what you're yelling at them about. No, you drag them back to the scene of the crime. They still don't know.

Let them know what you've done. Let them know what you've done. They just think you were yelling at them and pushing your nose into the couch. Unless you catch them doing the actual act, they don't know why you're yelling at them. Bloody dog. No. You love yelling at them. Bloody dogs. No.

You love dogs. You love your dogs, don't you? No, not at all. But yeah, like you're literally ruining their lives because they will be stressed

and they remember that you are yelling at them for such a long time. Would you yell at your dogs every day? Yeah. Oh, do you? Yeah.

Oh, I don't. Chases the chickens. I feel like farmers are like... I saw some dogs at the weekend, very well-behaved dogs. Now, they wouldn't have been given a little bicky every time they sat. Like... How do you know? Because the guy, Indy patted one and the old mate said,

oh, don't treat her too nice. I don't want to get used to that. Yeah, but just because it's well-trained doesn't mean it's not highly stressed and hates its life. Fine by me. As long as it doesn't eat what it's not supposed to eat and go where it's not supposed to go. And bring muddy paws into that.

I'm just tricking Warren. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We're joined in studio by the illustrator and author of the book, All of This Is For You, Ruby Jones. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? Very well.

Now, people will remember your very famous illustration that came out on the day of 15th of March, 2019, after the mosque shooting in Christchurch. It simply said, this is your home and you should have been safe here, and a picture of two people embracing. Now, when you drew that, did you have any idea that it was just going to go everywhere? Not at all.

I just did that for my followers and whoever I could see on social media that people were trying to put their thoughts into words and no one could. And I just thought, I'll just put this out there for whoever needs it, not thinking it was going to go as big as it did at all. Yeah. I think, because you say it resonated

because we didn't know how to put our thoughts into words, did we? Yeah. I just remember back to that day and you just didn't know what to say to people. Yeah, exactly. That was it. And I didn't even know either,

but that was, you know, the only sentence I could think of really. And a simple sentence, a short sentence and a simple drawing of two humans embracing as well. And I think it really resonated on a day where everybody's thoughts were so complex and it was so confusing and it was just so simple and lovely. And now there's a book and it's called A Little Book of Kindness and it's full of all sorts of nice little messages. Yeah.

Yeah, I just want it to be a book of reminders more than anything. So not a guide to anything or, you know, self-help or anything. It's just meant to be things that we should already know but maybe need to be reminded of. What was it like when Time Magazine called?

Were you just like, is someone pranking me? Yeah, yeah, totally. It was just an email that said hello from Time and I thought they were just saying... That sounds like spam. Like, yeah, yeah, subscribe to our magazine, here's a great monthly deal. Yeah, no, it was like that and I thought they were just saying

we like your picture or something. But yeah, just said we'd like you to do a cover. And it was one of those weird moments where you're sort of like, I can't overthink it. You know, I just had to go, okay, and just do what I was feeling. And yeah, the first picture they liked. So we just went with it.

Oh really? So you submitted options, you were willing to submit options, but the first one they were like, that's the one. It was, yeah. Wow. One change to it and that was it. And it's hardly, is it very often a cartoon?

Or an illustration? Yeah. I know that there have been some cartoon Trump ones, but illustrations, you never really, it's always just a face, isn't it? Yeah, no, that's what, it actually did feel quite special as well. Yeah. It felt really, yeah, quite different for them, which was, yeah, really nice. Wow.

And do you have it like framed or anything? Do you have, I would. Because I'd be quite proud of myself. My granddad does. I don't yet. That is so cute. Did he just like rip off the cover and chuck it in a frame you already had? Or did he go and buy a special frame?

I think he actually got it framed. Oh, he got it framed? Framed. Wow. That's special. Wow. That's big for grandparents framed. Oh, he got it framed? Framed. Wow. That's special. Wow, that's big for grandparents because they don't like spending money on things like that. No.

I've already got a frame. I'll just take out this photo of who are these kids? That's us, granddad. Oh, well. You've got to be better than Ruby now to be a good bit of Ruby's illustration and on the time of time. There's a competition

who get to frame around here these days. So this book's out in Time for Christmas and kind of just a night, like what is it? Is it called Embossed? When there's, is that what the cover is? Yeah, where it's like,

you can feel it as well. I always really like a cover where you can feel what's drawn there as well. I don't want to go into too much on the stock of paper or anything as well, but that's-

But it's a good paper. It's lovely and it's a quality bind. Oh, yeah, the binding looks great. I don't remember. A librarian taught me this. That's how you test the quality of a bind. You hold each cover and you give it a little bit of a wiggle, and if there's not too much give, that's a quality bind.

I never knew that. Good to know. You hang out in a lot of libraries, do you? Like, never, but for some reason, everywhere I go, I pick up a little something from somebody that's there. Yeah, right. What's that bind like? Yeah, that's a good one.

Hey, well, what a great present. And thank you so much for coming in. Thank you. Coming up, we need to talk about Vaughn, who's being seen on a UK TV show. Partially naked. Oh, God. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

A friend, mutual friend on the show. I mean, I think this was probably setting confidence, but you know, no names. No names. Was in the middle of some sexy times. Intimate times. Adult fun times.

Yeah. It was getting intimate. Yeah. When the person whom Yeah. It was getting intimate. Yeah. When the person whom whiff he was getting intimate called him daddy. Now, that's not to everybody's liking. No, no. But the reason this affected Friend of the Show so much is that Friend of the Show does not or did not, probably post tense now, consider himself old enough to warrant label. Being a daddy. Daddy.

Yeah, like in their 20s. It said it really shook him. To his foundations. It made him feel old and then obviously insecure. Yeah. About, you know, aging and do I look older than I am? Do I look like a daddy? I've never thought of that as an age thing.

It has to be of a certain age. You've got to be at least a certain age. No, that's just like a dominant thing, right? Isn't it? I don't think of that as age. Ah, what? Like. I think that, no, but it's weird.

Could you imagine intern Anya calling her boyfriend daddy? It just wouldn't work, would it? Because he's not old enough. What is he? I don't think that's an age thing. Andy, daddy, this is a conversation we're not having. Oh!

Can we just get it shut down? So then we can assume yes. I could, like, if he was, if they were into it, like, I don't, it's not an age thing, I don't think. I don't think he should feel bad about it. So he shouldn't feel, because he's saying now he feels like, oh, well, now I'm old. Like, it's just a bit of a kind of a, oh, my God, I'm old now. Like, it's kind of a realisation. It's not like a sugar daddy. It's not like a sugar daddy.

It's not like... Yeah, well that's true. But that'll be next. Won't it? Nah, he's too poor. Everybody wants to be a sugar daddy, but most of us are just a daddy. Yeah, right. I didn't mean to

make it sound like I like being called daddy. Yeah, yeah. But I guess it was just one of those moments where you realise that you're not, like, 20 anymore or you're not 19 anymore. You're getting old. Ow. And that's what we wanted to talk about this morning is when did somebody say something to you that made you realise you're not young anymore?

I don't know. It's never happened to me. Because I still get asked for ID. I got ID'd in Australia, guys. Don't worry about it. Did you? I bought one can of alcoholic beverages. Bushfires, mate.

Everyone's got smoke in their eyes. The haze made you look 19. No, because you always say it's because of my husband, but he was not with me. Okay, that's true. I do always say that. No, you do. People, you do often say it's because of my husband, but he was not with me. Okay, that's true. I do always say that. No, you do. People, you do often say you look younger.

They do. People come in and they say you look younger. Save that. But we just know you're an old bitch, though. We don't fall for that. We see through this surface. You don't look, no offence, but you don't look 17 or 16. No.

So, I mean, They're just being stupid And pedantic aren't they No but you have to check If you're under 25 And I'm going to take that Like 22 Yeah okay Maybe

24 and a half Somebody mess Somebody text messaged in Saying this week Someone said to them Okay boomer And they were like No no not me

Not me No no no no If you were not a boomer That's yeah Okay well that That's what we want to know When did somebody say something to you that made you feel old? And maybe, you know

No, someone said when they, someone was talking about doing a TikTok And they said, I have no idea what that is and I'm only 23 Doing a TikTok? Someone doing a TikTok, I thought it was a dance to that Cash or something So we want to know when someone said something to you that made you feel old Someone doing a TikTok. Someone doing a TikTok. I thought it was a dance to that Cash or something. So we want to know when someone said something to you that made you feel old. A friend of the show was called Daddy by someone. And that's kind of.

How old is he? 25. And people are saying like it's a dominance. What? 24 or 25. It's a dominance thing. Yeah, but he didn't consider himself Daddy. Nah, he didn't.

And it was a bit of a, well, am I old now? Like I feel old. I'll just roll with it, sure. No, I don't think he needs to feel old. He just needs to feel powerful. He was powerful in this situation. Wow, okay. So, we want to know when you've been made to feel

old. What were the words used? Some great messages coming in. When teenagers in my extended family start to call you uncle, that means you're old. Oh, okay. Or when auntie and uncle start calling you bro instead of boy. Oh, yeah. That was actually quite soul-destroying.

I felt like I was aging very quickly. Peter, what did someone say to you? So I was in the four square one day, and there was two girls probably like 16 or 17. They were arguing over how to pronounce jalapeno. They were arguing about how to spell

say jalapeno. Yeah, how to pronounce it. And so I said, oh, I think it's pronounced jalapeno. And as I was walking away, the one in the wrong said, great, I was roasted by an old man. I just got roasted by an old man. And how old were you at the time?

I was 29. You don't even sound old now. You're in your early 20s. A little hit to the ego. I love how you're like the one who was wrong. Brilliant. Hey, thanks for your call, Peter. Some text messages in.

Somebody, I was about to get on a trampoline and a kid told me to just be careful because you can pee your pants when you get older and you're on a trampoline. Right. Wow. I'm a teacher and a kid in my class said, do you even know what a meme is?

I'm 24. Yeah, we were my class said, do you ever know what a meme is? I'm 24. Yeah, we were around at the birth of the memes. We invented the meme. Takira, is that how I say your name? Yep. Okay, great. What did someone say to you? A lady said to her son or something about,

ask that lady or that lady there. And it was being called a lady. I was like, oh my gosh, I'm not a girl anymore. I'm a lady. You're like, oh my God,

I've grown up. I still don't call myself a lady. That's why I had someone say to their kid the nice man about me and I was like, I had to look around. I was like,

for a start, I'm not that nice, but I had to look around and I was like, nice man. That gentleman over there. Go and see that elderly gentleman with the sore knee and the bung back. Hey, thanks for your call.

More messages coming in. A young boy nearly bumped into me in the street and he said, sorry, ma'am. I'm only 29. I did not like ma'am. I was really polite, but I did not like ma'am. The boys at work called me sweet nana when I bought baking in. Nope. Nope.

And that's why they don't get baking anymore. No more bloody baking for you. Someone said, I hope I look like you when I'm your age. I'm only 32. That really stung. That really stung. Somebody else said, my boyfriend called me a boomer because of a few tiny traits, um, that led him to believe I'm too old for my age, but I'm not, I'm a boomer and now I don't do those things anymore. Um, I'm 21 and my eight year old niece asked me if TVs were black and white when I was young.

Yeah. And we had dinosaurs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hasn't it been a wonderful podcast so far? And it's all thanks to Spark, our primary sponsor. Do you love free data?

Then you will love the Spark data stack. More data every month that you stay. Hey, guys, let's get back into that podcast. I've been alerted to the fact. I've also had a lot of Instagram snaps. A lot of Instagram snaps that there is a man participating in RuPaul's Drag Race in the UK that might look somewhat like me. Now, the main thing is that he's bald with a beard. So I get this a lot.

This dude's in far better nick than I am. This is actually a bit of a trigger for you, isn't it? That beard's beard, you call it beardism. Beardism and baldism. Yeah, is it every bald person with a bed must be you? Looks the same. Yeah. Yeah.

Not the case. You wouldn't do it to other people with things they were born with? Like bung eyes, you wouldn't be like everyone with the bung eyes, the same person, you wouldn't do it? Or skin colour? No, you wouldn't. Yeah, oh, that person looks like them just because of their skin colour? People do. Oh, of course that person looks like them just because of their skin colour. People do.

Oh, of course they do. It's terrible. But to be fair, that screenshot of that guy did look a lot like you. Now, I don't know which one he is. These are the contestants. Bag of chips. Yeah. These are their drag names.

Cheryl Hole. Are there photos? Because it'll be the guy with the beard. Yeah, well, I don't know. And how do you do a beard in drag? Do you hide it or? You just rock it. You just.

Is that part of the thing? Like the bearded, like every look has a certain bearded lady quality to it. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I'm trying to find photos of which one, because the only photos I ever get sent to the dude when he doesn't have drag on, and he's in his undies.

And he did look a lot like you. Yeah. Like, I know that you're against beardism. Beardism and baldism. And baldism. And beanieism. It's the three Bs, beanie, beard and bald. And people are like, oh, that's just worn.

But he did look a lot like you. Yeah. Well, I might use it as my grinder picture then. Does your wife know you're on grinder? He's in good nick, but I don't need to actually do anything to be in that. Do you think he shaves the beard off or covers it? Because all the photos I'm seeing of RuPaul Drag Race UK, there's no one with a beard.

There's no one in a beard. What about that group shot there? Nah. But you can't grow a beard back that quickly and he seems to have I mean because this is on at the moment I get tagged in one every week someone in Britain that's like I've always

said though. Oh okay okay he's one of the pit crew not the actual drag queens. Oh right okay so that'll be why. Oh okay so I don't because I've not watched okay. He's one of the pit crew, not the actual drag queens. Oh, right, okay. So that'll be why. Oh, okay, so I don't, because I've not watched this. Okay, so I don't know what the pit crew is. Undies. You have to get in your undies if you're in the pit crew. Maybe that's the idea with the pit crew. Right, okay.

Spice things up. Okay, okay. That makes a lot more sense. Oh yeah, they are all in their undies. Yeah. Pit crew. Okay, Megan. What does the pit crew do? Do you need some time? No, I was just researching. Save that for your one o'clock Jonas. Stop it.

Oh, I found meet the men. Okay. I'm just, here he is. Here he is. What's his name? Mr. Matt Lister is his name. Okay. And now that you're seeing a good shot of him,

I would be honored if people would mistake his topless body for mine. Yeah, okay. Oh, my God. It does, like, the small picture, I was like, that is worn with, like, abs. I was just like, what the? The hairiness we have in common. Right.

Would you fill out Speedos that much? Oh, yeah, that does look so much like you. Not in any inclement weather. Like cold weather. Not cold. Like today. Maybe in summer.

I feel uncomfortable looking at that. That's how much it looks like you. It's very uncomfortable. Well, you've got a TV doppelganger on RuPaul Drag Race UK.

I'm going to follow him. And he does, you know how you do that one eye like eyebrow up thingy? Your bung eye. He's got that too. He's doing that.

Can you slide into his Instagram DMs and just be like, hey doppelganger and see what he says back? I don't know. I don't know if that's something you do. Because then he might be like, what is this guy's? I don't know. But is he into guys or is he into girls? I don't know.

Because what if his... Break yourself. No. What I don't want... No, no, no. I didn't think he would be... He's not going to reply with an eggplant picture. What if he's always dreamed of...

Because if I was into guys, I would want to, just out of curiosity's sake, try to hook up with someone that looked a lot like me. Why though? I don't know. Just to see what it was like. Okay. What if the your doppelganger was better in bed than you and had a better... There's no doubt about it.

He would be. Okay. When this guy works out he's going to have stamina in the boudoir. Right. Okay. He's going to be like, oh my god you're me if I let myself go. It's a weird insight. Oh my God, that was really mean.

Why did you say that? Why were you so mean about it? Oh my God, that was really mean. I hope he's not. That wasn't even a funny roast. That was just really mean. Are you okay?

I hope that he's not into women. Why is it okay when you two hassle us all morning and then as soon as I give you a burn, you're like, oh my God, ouch. It was really like you took a straight shot. Yeah. With a skirt around the edges. Except you call me Nana all the time.

I'm sitting on fire, but you're not. No, I just hope he's not into women because, shut up, this is an upgrade for her. She could be like, it's like updating your software. Yeah, to go to OXS Sierra. Yeah, like I'm riddled with viruses and she's getting a new laptop. Situation. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.

Thong Song on ZM and you can see him live at Friday Jams Live Sunday. Gates open three o'clock. Jaquan first on stage at four. Savage, Scribe, Kerry Hilson after that. Cisco's at 5.05. I caught up with a few of the artists backstage in Melbourne 696. The line up and all the info if you've got any FAQs are at ZM online. I caught up with a few of the artists backstage in Melbourne and just I come in really hot in this interview but it's because

we were singing. Because you were steamed. No that was later. Aunty got steamed didn't she on this trip? Aunty almost bombed up her eggs. Okay. No we were singing the thong song as he walked in, and I was so embarrassed, but he started singing as well, so that's why we're a little bit excited at the start of this interview.

All right. Welcome to, well, I was going to say New Zealand, but that's next week. Welcome to Australasia. Oh, okay. I like that. I like that. A little Asian there. My kids are half Asian, so there we go.

Nice. We just have something that we would like to do for you. The Tim Tams time? Oh, you've got Tim Tams. I don't know. I got that for my birthday. It's my birthday today. I know. We were just about to sing Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday! We did that the whole crowd. Happy Birthday to

you. I feel a little bit self-conscious. Happy Birthday to you. You're on key here. Happy Birthday dear Cisco. Stop, stop. And you smell like one, two.

Happy birthday. Thank you. Thank you so much. The whole crowd sang it. That was a, I don't normally get nervous when I go on stage, but that had me

a little bit clipped. That was, the crowd's electric. So many people out there. We have a little bit of a. I was... Oh, the crowd's electric. So many people out there. We have a little bit of a rivalry with Australia, New Zealand and Australia. Is that right? It's like America and Canada, kind of.

Oh, that's hilarious. So, like, if you think they're electric, you wait till you come to New Zealand. Everyone is like... Oh, yeah, no, I've been to New Zealand before. Every time I've been there, though, it's been incredible. That was the first time I had a wagyu steak was there really yes I mean I mean I you know I don't know if you guys are like vegan or whatever but

I love but I love a good steak and uh I didn't even know what wagyu was and it was Japanese wagyu and they was like yeah so you know we was sarge the cow and yeah we put a monocle on him and a top hat. And he's like, oh, this is, oh, my God. Then he dies and you eat him and it's all, it tastes delicious. Well, I was going to say, it is your birthday this weekend, but we can still celebrate in New Zealand next weekend. Is there something that you would like us to get for you? That song, the song, no, I'm just kidding.

Something special we could get for you backstage That song, the song, no, I'm just kidding. No, I don't know. Something special we could get for you backstage, or is there? I don't know, is there something that I should know about? Something I should have? Are we thinking food wise,

or are you kind of an adventurous sort of guy? Well, yeah, I mean, you know, I'm adventurous, I'm a Scorpio.

We do have a really tall building called the Sky Tower, which we can throw you off. Oh yeah, that sounds great. You'll be connected. Yeah, let's do that.

I did that. Like, I did the one that, like, it, like, shoots up in the air like this. Yeah, okay, the rocket, the rocket bungee. Yeah, we did that. Is there something better than that? It's free-falling from a really tall building. And then we catch you at the end. I'm down. You know I can fly. Okay. Well, maybe we can hook that up

here. And something I've been doing with everyone so far is teaching them a little bit of Maori, which is one of our official languages in New Zealand. Okay, all right. So when you get on stage, if you wanted to say hello to everyone in Maori, you'd say Kia ora. Kia ora? Yeah.

Nailed it. Okay, do you want to say hello New Zealand? Sure. It's Kia ora ao Aotearoa. Oh. Kia ora, Aotearoa. Aotearoa. Aotearoa.

Yeah. Oh, okay. You nailed it. You nailed it. But I practiced it. And no one minds if you don't get it quite right. It's the attempt that everyone loves. I practiced it.

By the time I get there, it'll sound like one of my songs. Well, happy birthday, and we're very much looking forward to seeing you next week. Yes. Thanks so much, Cisco. Thank you. And you can see Cisco at Friday Jams Live Sunday. All the details are at ZM Online.

And you've got interviews before Friday Jams Live with Jason Derulo. Yeah, that was hard. Who else did you? You hung out with the Black Eyed Peas, but no interviews. No interviews. That was when they were off stage. They were tired.

Yeah. How lovely was Brandy? You said she was... She made me cry when she walked out of the room because she was just the nicest person I've ever encountered. And she said that I had a beautiful soul. I was like, don't laugh. Well, she's obviously a shit judge of character.

What? I get told that quite often. No, you don't. Caitlin just said it before. No, I think she was yelling at you. Oh, no, she called me an arsehole. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

Yesterday, I'm at the supermarket. Just nipping in for some hamburger buns. So it was hamburgers for dinner, was it? Yeah. Okay. And I passed by the end of the aisles, got a whole lot of Coke bottles there. Yeah.

They're having a deal, two for $4.50 or something. A loss later? Yeah, you betcha. That's what they call them. Yeah, yeah, exactly, to get them in, and then they buy other stuff while they're there. So at the moment, Coke's doing the names on the bottles thing again. Yeah.

I got a Coke can on the plane the other day and it said Nana on it. I was like, piss off. I was like, how dare you? That is so on point. But that's the thing, you've got to be careful when you pick up a Coke now. Why? Because it does say things like Nana on it. And one said Dad's.

I was like, no. You took it and you scraped Daddy on it. Oh my god. That's more like it. So, I had a quick gander at the names. Yeah. And there was no Vaughans to be seen.

Of course, there never is. There was like a Kayla and there was a There's always a Megan. No, see, this is the thing. Just because you saw a snapshot of a few Cokes, like I haven't seen my name on them either at the supermarket, but that doesn't mean that they haven't printed Megan's. It doesn't mean that there's not Vaughn's out there.

Well, there was one name that got Vaughn fired up in the group chat. It wasn't fired up at the name. No. Because I'm all for, and I understand, I've assumed it was a name of Pacific origin. Right. Losalina is apparently the pronunciation of the name that I saw, and I thought, surely there's got to be more Vaughans

than there are Losalinas. Now, it's not an attack on the name. It's an attack on Coke. Who aren't printing enough Vorn's. Who never, never put my name on anything. My name's never on anything. And there's, I'm fine. Like, you can go on and apparently you can order your own.

Right. But that's not the same, is it? Young Vaughan Smith didn't have that chance. And he never got his name on anything. And he had two boring-ass siblings, Phillip and Michelle, whose names were on everything. But you wanted to know if anyone had the name or knew of someone called Los Aline.

Yeah. And we have Fane on the phone. Good morning, Fane. Morning. Morning. You know a Los Aline? Yeah, I do. There you go.

How many? No, how many? Well, I know quite a few because it's a Tongan name. And is it a really popular Tongan name? It's quite common, yes. Is it common like white people call

Barry? Barry? John? Wow, okay, so there you go. You're out of line there, Vaughan. Again, it wasn't an attack on the name, it was an attack on Coke for not printing Vaughan in the mix.

We should have asked if anyone's actually seen a Vaughan Coke. No. And then they will print one and they'll spell it wrong. Somebody just said a Los Alenes the Pacific Island version

a Tongan version of Rosalind in their family. Yeah, pretty much. Wow. Okay, Fanny, thanks for your call. An anonymous caller

has called up. Good morning. Morning. Good morning. I work for Coke. Yeah. And what we've done is everyone that works for CCA, their name gets printed.

Oh! Oh! So we're not cool enough to have a Vaughan working for us. So that's it. But is there definitely no Vaughan? No, not yet. Is there a Megan? Do you have a Megan?

We do have a Megan. That's a plain name, isn't it? Excuse me, Carl. Yeah, very vanilla. Yeah, I bet Megan and. Well, that could be on a vanilla Coke, couldn't it? I bet Megan and Carl do real dud jobs too, like take the rubbish out. Or something. Anonymous, thanks, you call.

Thank you for letting us know. Okay, well, that's a good insight, isn't it? Right. So no horns at the moment. But now I'm hearing Xander Lee. She's just messaged in. Oh, really? Xander Lee's got one?

No, no, it doesn't have one. Oh, it doesn't have one. I'll find a name on there anyway. Voshan. She's just messaged in. Oh, really? Zanderlee's got one. No, no, it doesn't have one. Oh, it doesn't have one. I can't find a name on there anyway. Voshan. Somebody's name. Voshan. That's like the posh version of Vaughn, isn't it? Voshan.

Voshan. Vaughn. Someone said their name's Adam. Oh, Adam's name's on everything. Get out of here, Adam. Get out of here, Adam. Stop complaining. Get out of here.

And you're the easiest to find to. You're at the start. You're after Aaron. Adam. Adam. Get out of here, Adam. Get out of here. And you're the easiest to find to here at the start. You're after Aaron. Aaron. Adam. Meh. Never have worn. I always have to spin that thing around to try to find out where the V's start.

With the keychains. And then sometimes there's not even a V. Yeah. Goes straight from T's to W's. It's hard being a middle-aged white man, isn't it? Tyler to Wendy. Just like that. It's hard being a middle-aged white man, isn't it? Tyler to Wendy, just like that. Just like that. It is quite, it's an attack on the white man. I just feel like as a white man saying that,

I need to clarify that, of course, was a jest. Of course it was. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, an Apple employee has been fired after he acted, according to them, acted far outside the strict privacy guidelines to which we hold all Apple employees, end quotation. He no longer works for Apple. A woman took her phone into an Apple store on Monday seeking an iPhone screen repair.

Okay. So we don't have Apple stores here, but if you've ever been to one overseas, they're super quick. You take them in and they'll be like, oh, come back in an hour and it'll be done. And you've done it, right. You book in and it's super easy.

They've got all the spare parts, don't they? Yeah, and there's a team out the back and they just work and they fix them all super quick. So she came back, got her phone, and later the employee sent her a text message with a single, quote, extremely personal photo that had been taken from her phone. So I don't know if he was just like, hey, I saw this, hot, you want a date or something? It doesn't go into details. Yeah, what was the game plan? It doesn't say what the photo is. She has said, though, that to get that photo,

he would have had to scroll up a lot in her photos. Really? Because the photo was almost a year old. Oh, yes. So I don't know if it was a nude or what the photo was, but they don't say, except that it was extremely personal. Yeah, so it's a nude. So it's a nude.

But, like, So he took it. I mean, that's bad, but I can understand. But I don't get sending it to her. He's definitely going to get in trouble. Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking. You'd scroll back. She's not going to be like, ha ha ha. That's embarrassing. Do you want to date me?

Scroll back. Find out what sort of cuisine they often take photos of. But then even to be like, hey, I repaired your phone today. Yeah, I see you like Mexican food. Do you want to go for a taco? Yeah, do you like Mexican food? Yeah. That's a weird approach. Weird, right? Like, what is he thinking? So it's actually now

on police investigation and he has been fired from Apple. Oh no. But it does raise the point that, you know, people are fixing your phone. Oh, they see some things. Oh, they're seeing some things. Oh, they see some things. Oh, they're seeing some things. Oh, they see some things. And that's what I want to ask. Have you ever, like, taken your phone in?

Or are we getting through laptops or just phones? iPads? Like, what has the repair person seen? And maybe you've been there showing them. Maybe you've got, showing them your problem with your phone. Yeah. And some photos have come up.

That would be what you'd have to be willing to, like if you broke your screen, you'd be like, right, I need to take this in to get fixed but they might see things.

Yeah. They could see the nudes. Otherwise, you'd just have to be like, well, I guess I'm just buying a new phone. Yeah.

Or you back it up to the cloud with a broken screen and you buy yourself a new phone. Would they be able to see all my stuff in my vault? In my vault app?

Nah, they'd have to go into the vault. It's got a password, right? Not if they're just fixing the screen. Yeah. If they were maybe creating a backup of your phone for you to put on a new phone

or rescuing all your data from your phone, they could... Yeah, there you go. I don't know much about that. Do you have to give them your PIN number though? Because what if your screen locks?

But they don't need that, do they? Not to fix a screen. Because when I've had screens repaired, you go back in, they pass it to you and say, oh, unlock this

and just make sure it all works. Right. Okay, so if you've got a PIN on your phone, you're fine. Who doesn't have a PIN on their phone? Amateurs. Maybe people who trust their friends.

Or a vault. Yeah, well, that turns out you can't do that either because Vaughn knows my PIN. It turns out a shock, shock horror. Yeah, well, that turns out you can't do that either. Because your pin does nothing on it. Because Vaughn knows my pin. It turns out a shock horror. Go to that fence.

We want to take some calls now. 0800 Dials at M. You can text 9696. What has a repair person seen on your phone or your laptop or your iPad? Or you're a repair person and you've seen some things. Because, yeah, I'd actually love to talk to a repair person. You'd have a look, right? Because you'd have to do, imagine how many screens you replace a day and you've seen some things. Because, yeah, I'd actually love to talk to a repair person. Like, you'd have a look, right? Because you'd have to do,

imagine how many screens you replace a day and you get bored. You'd just be like, well, I'm going to look through this person's phone. I'd just be like, get it done, move on. I don't think I'd care enough to look through someone's phone. I like how your justification, yeah, probably, but I'm a corrupt soul.

But I like how your justification is, you know, they're probably bored. Like, oh, that's okay then. You're bored, you're allowed to invade people's privacy. 0800 dials at him, give us a call. An Apple employee in California has been fired after repairing a woman's phone and taking an explicit, very personal photo

and then texting it to her in the hope of, I don't know. Yeah. We don't know. Yeah. Probably, I don't, it's bizarre. Yeah. But it has asked the question, has anybody repairing your phone, your iPad, your laptop,

seen something maybe they shouldn't have? Somebody said, I took my phone in to get the data all swapped over to a new one. Right. And they said, is there anything in here that you don't want us to see? Oh, that's nice. Which is good. No, see, that to me is a trap.

Oh, because you're going to say, avoid February this year. Yeah, and then they're like, straight away, guys, I've got one. February this year. If you said to me, avoid February this year, I'd be like, oh, God, I have to know. What was February? It is the shortest month. The whole month? What did they do?

It was summer. It was a hot February. But all that was on my phone was 500 million pictures of my dog. And when I went back to pick it up, they said, you do like taking photos of your dog. See, so they looked. They're not allowed to comment. Well, we are getting some people calling through. Monique, you worked at a repair place,

a computer repair place? Yes. Okay. Do you have a nose? We had a very regular customer who used to come in and have to have her computer reinstalled every time. She did warn us. She said, oh, it's probably the pawns that I look at. The pawns? The pawns, yeah.

So the pawns? It wasn't just the pawns she was looking at, she was self-making pawns as well. Oh, okay, right. The hacker I just buzzed. She would have been in her late 70s. Oh, yes, girl. Very, very lovely lady and the technicians

actually couldn't deal with speaking to her in person so they used to hide out the back and we would deal with her out the front. And when I mean out the back, I mean an office partition so they are literally behind us

trying to hide the fact. They're like, hide behind the fact. And we may have called her porno granny because we thought. Porno granny. God, wow. We thought it got on her, you know.

She's still getting out there and she was obviously very active. I've got a better name than porn granny, porn nana. Porn nana. Porn nana. Porn nana. Brilliant. Hi, Monique. Thanks for your call.

Greg, you are a repairer? I was, yeah. I don't know how much we repair them Nana. Brilliant. Hi, Monique. Thanks for your call. Greg, you are a repairer? Well, I was, yeah. Yeah, okay. I don't know how much we repair them anymore. Okay. And so when people bring something in, you're having a nosy, aren't you? I don't. No.

Oh, okay. I don't do that, no. Strong morals, Greg. As tempting as it is. Yeah, okay. I try not to. But, you know, we obviously used to get lots of laptops and things, as the previous caller was saying, with virus and things on them. So we had a gentleman drop a laptop off,

and it was riddled with viruses, you know, through the roof. Yeah. So our technician, without my permission, because I was his direct manager, decided he would find out what sort of material was on there that was sort of bringing these viruses on board. Okay. So he found quite a prolific amount of same-sex porn and pictures and videos and things on there. Same-sex?

Okay, right. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, that was interesting to say the least because he called me into the tech bay and said, hey, look what I found on this computer. And I sort of, oh, I don't really need to look at that. Yeah. Anyway.

So we cleaned off all the viruses yeah and um and sorted the computer out we didn't wipe it because uh the customer didn't want any of the data and stuff wiped okay uh so then the gentleman's wife came in to pick the laptop up oh plot twist yeah sadly took it upon himself to not only tell this poor lady where the viruses came from, but showed her. No, he didn't! No, he didn't! Yeah, so she kind of left in tears. She didn't pay her bill.

We didn't call her back to pay her bill. Oh, my God! I did not expect that to happen. Did you say anything to the employee afterwards? Yeah, he doesn't work there, no. Oh, right, okay. Oh, my Lord. How could, I would never be able to tell that to someone.

No, I don't know where he just, he was an older employee, so I don't know whether he just was just never okay with those sort of pictures and he was going to tell everybody and anybody that he thought it wasn't right. Oh, my God, that poor woman. Yeah, could have ended the marriage, my God, that poor woman. Yeah, could have ended the marriage possibly, we don't know.

Yeah, I really want to find out now. Yeah. We're going to need a second season on Netflix for that one. Anonymous,

thanks for your call. Greg, sorry. Text messages. Oh, hang on, we've got another anonymous caller.

Anonymous, good morning. You're a repair person? Good morning. Yes, I am. Okay. What did you want to add to this? Well, I do a lot of data transfers for phones and laptops and stuff like that. So what you do is generally you transfer all the stuff over.

They give you your codes or your password and that kind of stuff. And then you'll find sometimes they have a vault. And the good old vault story is you either ask, do you want me to transfer the stuff from the vault or do you want to get it deleted? And sometimes they want to keep it because it's obviously stuff that they want. And some of the things you see, I mean, it's not always theirs.

Wow. Really one of those weird things. And I'll tell you what, I was about 16 when I started the job. So some of the stuff you'd see when you're that young is not... Legally, you shouldn't even be looking at it at 16. Yeah, so legally you shouldn't even be touching it,

but, and the same thing is, you have to go through the photos to make sure that they're all there. Quite often you filter through them, and some of the stuff you see, you're like, I shouldn't be looking at this. This is way too personal. Some people have way too much trust. It's really intense. I think... Oh, my God, I love you.

Oh, you're brilliant. That's so funny. I think a lot of people now are going to be chucking out their devices rather than getting them fixed after hearing all of this. Yeah, definitely. It sounds a lot more realistic. Right, okay. Don't throw away

your mobile phones and stuff because they recycle them for valuable materials. That's the one. Yeah. But then who's going through the recycle bin?

That's quite... Yeah, that's true. I don't do that. I don't do that. No, brilliant. Anonymous, thank you for your call. Running a little collection?

You are great. Okay, excellent. Show favourite. I love his laugh. A few text messages in. I worked at a phone shop a few years ago and someone who is now a high-profile international sportsman bought the loan phone back,

had not deleted pictures of himself from it upon return. Now, the idea with the loan phone is that you... Always wipe that on return, surely. Yeah, the idea with the loan phone is that you always wipe that on return. Surely. Format it before you give it back. But we go through, delete everything, and then it gets loaned out to somebody else. But we saw some. Maybe they wanted you to see.

Oh, maybe. Yeah. Maybe. I don't want to know who that is. Somebody said, when my partner and I were in Bali, we took his phone into a dairy to get a sim put on it while we were sussing out scooter for the day. Once the sim was in, they said, check if the internet's working. They opened up his internet browser

and realised the porn tab hadn't been closed and the video started playing very loudly. The ladies in the shop were in hysterics. He was very embarrassed, to say the least. Brilliant. Someone's saying, I work in a big telco store and I'm telling you some things I've seen. Yeah.

Some things I've seen. I think it can scar some people. Yeah, definitely. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. Have you ever poured one out for a homie? What? You know when you pour one out for a homie?

When you're having a drink and you pour one out for the homie and you just pour it on the ground. Is that a saying? Yeah, pouring one out. Pour out for the homie. Like some of the... It. Is that a saying? Yeah, pour one out. Pour out for the homie. Like some of the, it's not with us any longer. I'm more uncle. Pouring you out for the homie.

Yeah, I've heard of it, but I've never done it. I've never heard of it. I don't have any fallen homies. Onto the ground or onto another glass? Onto the ground.

Onto the ground. Like for your fallen homies. Tupac was a big, a big fan of pouring one out for the homies. Okay. But I've never had a, now we pour one out for Tupac.

I've never had a fallen homie, so for Tupac. I've never had a fallen homie so No but it doesn't have to be a four like it could just be someone that's like they don't have to go down in a

drive by. Or like Princess Di we cheers to Princess Di. Cheers to Princess Di or you could pour one out for Princess Di. My nana, my dead nana. You could pour one

out for Edith. Pour one out for my homie. Yeah. My homie nan. Okay sure. For Edith. Someone should be down for wasting Like she grew up in the war time

Yeah exactly She used to wash Plastic bags And hang them on the line To reuse them To reuse them So I don't think She'd be all good

With you pouring out a beer Yeah just pour a little one out Okay Well That's actually An ancient It goes back Thousands of years

The practice of pouring one out For the homies Okay The ancient Egyptians Used to pour one out for the homies. Okay. The ancient Egyptians used to pour one out for the homies. Did they say homie or like something else? No. No, no. They just pouring it out as an offering.

It's called a libation. Okay. Pouring one out for the homies. So, I mean, this will go down next time you're hanging out with your homies and you pour one out for a fallen soldier or a homie that's no longer with you. Or your dead nan. You can say, here's something, homies. This is called a libation, and it's an ancient tradition. Yeah.

Begun in Egypt. That's the first noticing of the libation. Of course, then it carried on to ancient Greece, where you not only pour one out for the homies, you poured one out for the gods. Okay. Then the Romans, who basically just copied everything the Greeks did, but moved it a bit that way, they poured one out for the homies.

Okay. Wine, honey, they even poured out a bit of honey. Now, the problem with pouring out one for your homies now and using a clover or a runny honey, that's expensive. Not only, but you're going to have ants afterwards. Yeah. Which is a big problem if you're pouring one out for the homies. And they even designed

tombs where the likeness of the person who had died was on the front and their hands came out 3D styles and they would be carved to their mouth. Did you have to wear the glasses? No, no, no. Because it was actually three dimensional

not just visually. So you could keep some from IMAX. A carving. The goggles, they just wear them to the tomb. They didn't have that in Rome. Right. It's a good thought. And up to the mouth, and you'd pour it into their hands,

and it would run into the mouth on the tomb. And I don't know where it would go from there. It'd be a lot of rot. Yeah, a lot of stoniness. It'd be a lot of stone, though, wasn't it? Yeah, I know, but it's got to end up somewhere, doesn't it? And then it carried on throughout history. Until now, where we call libation, are pouring one out for the homies.

So next time. Fascinating. Next time you're pouring one out for the homies, know that you are not partaking in something invented in the East Coast, West Coast rivalry of the 90s rap scene. You're taking part in an ancient ceremony called libation. That's today's fact of the 90s rap scene, you're taking part in an ancient ceremony called libation. That's today's fact of the day. Fact of the day, day, the podcast. ZM.

Travellers to New Zealand, some of them have a complaint. And especially those travellers on a tight... I just won't hear it. Especially those travellers on a tight budget, they're saying that New Zealand's making them fat. Ouch. Ouch. You're the one eating it.

Well, I mean, we are the third fattest people in the world, so yeah. It's not my fault what they're eating, right? Well, I think they're finding out there's a downside. I mean, we're obviously a beautiful country, but there's a downside to being at the bottom of the world, isolated in a small country, is that our fruit and veggie prices are through the roof. Oh, right.

Because they're saying they're trying to do a cheap travel around the country. Oh, no, mate. If you're doing cheap in New Zealand, it's the $5 fish and chip combo every night, right? Exactly, exactly. Or $5 pizzas. Yeah. Just anything cheap and greasy. One Brazilian has said that she's put on 12 kgs since arriving in New Zealand three years ago.

She attributes in part to... Those are rookie numbers, baby. You're going to pump that right up. Three years, 12 kgs. She's saying it is the fact that fresh fruit and salad here is hell expensive and food's nowhere near as healthy as it is back home. And she finds the food quite greasy.

Just saying a lot of things are cooked fast, a pasta, fried food, very greasy. Just saying a lot of things are cooked faster, pasta, fried food, very greasy. Another English traveller, another traveller who's English, preferred not to be named. She lost nine kgs travelling through Southeast Asia, as you do, because it's, you know, warm

and the food's quite fresh. Can be, you know. And you probably get a couple of barley bellies or, you know. Yeah, true. You get the runs. Yeah, you get the runs a couple of times. That loses a few kgs. She said she's definitely put the weight back on in New Zealand.

That's after losing 9 kgs in Southeast Asia. Oh, no. And you're rich. Coming from a British person. It's called the Heathrow injection for a reason, isn't it? You go there and you put on weight. Well, yeah, it happens to us in reverse, doesn't it? But obviously pies, things like that.

But, I mean, yeah. obviously pies, things like that. But I mean, yeah, we all know that fruit and eating healthy is expensive. It's not just fruit and veggies though, because I always find if you go to like Whole Foods in America, that's my favourite place, because everything's so cheap. I'm just like, man, I can't believe like

all the healthy treats that you get over there for so cheap. Well, even when you go to the supermarket in places like England and Europe, it's so cheap. All the fruit and stuff. You're just like, oh. Yeah, but who's getting short-changed? Well, yeah, that's the other thing.

Probably a lot of farmers. And how far has it come? And what did it look like when it was picked from a tree? Yeah. Like, was it picked? So what are you saying? Just keep any pies? Yeah. Okay was it pig? So what are you saying? Just keep eating pies? Yeah.

Sure. And just be happy being the third fattest nation in the world. Yeah. Maybe aim for two. Let's win this thing. Let's win this thing. Let's just go all in and win this thing. Let's stop pussyfooting around.

Yeah. And hit it. And win. And when. And hit it. And win. And when you say hit it, you mean like cake, say. Do you know there was a study that said New Zealanders hate being called morbidly obese.

Apparently doctors said that's the one thing. No shit. No one likes that. And literally the wording is you're so fat, you're putting yourself at risk of dying.

Yeah. You're morbidly obese. So doctors have said that it's actually something we shouldn't get rid of because patients that they've said you're morbidly obese who have a better outcome, like down the track. They do something about it? Yeah, they start to make changes. Right.

Rather than your doctor just like jiggling it and being like, you're a chubby little cutie. Oh my God, that would really do it for me too. I'd be like, you're a chubby little cutie. Oh, my God. That would really do it for me too. I'd be like, I'm out of here. Oh, really? What if the doctor grabbed it and was like, wobble, wobble, wobble, yeah.

We got ourselves a chubby little monster. Oh, my Lord. Or how bad is it when you're like at a car park and you go over a speed bump and there's a little jiggle, you're like, okay, shit, I better get back to the gym. Oh, you let your feeler go. Yeah. Boom.

Welcome to boobs, mate. like, okay, shit, I better get back to the gym. Oh, you let your feeler go? Yeah. There's your boom. Welcome to boobs, mate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So a study's been done for Movember, very important message, Movember, to raise awareness about testicular cancer and the importance of regular checks for men. You said before, guys do this seven times a day on average. Yeah, on average, guys touch their balls seven times a day. You mean for an adjustment?

All I could think was bolekis, which is like ball in Afrikaans. Bolekis. Is that what Mr. Toyboy calls them? That's what they all call them. Right, okay. So seven times, but that would just be adjustments because they get in the way when what they all call them. Right, okay. So seven times, but that would just be adjustments because they get in the way

when you're walking, Megan. Right. Be like, if you just get up off this chair often, then I have to make an adjustment, but it's more of the underpant and entire situation. Because it rides up, doesn't it? Yeah.

I reckon I'd do it way more, actually. Well, 23% said they touch them at least 10 times a day, and then two thirds, but two thirds have never had them checked by a medical professional. Which is the whole kind of reason behind Movember, isn't it?

To promote men's health. And when you're touching them 10 times a day, it's not, that's not a self-check. No, that's an examination. It's not a self-check. No. You don't check at 6am and then 7 just to see if anything's developed.

Yeah. You don't give them a good squeeze every waking hour of the day. No. You do that once a month, I think. Is that what they say? Yeah, because then you'll notice any changes. Yeah.

There is 1% that said they touch more than 50 times a day. Oh, okay. That's quite a bit. Yeah. That's twice an hour. Oh, twice an hour. But no, waking hours. It's good to be the 1% of something, though.

Waking hours. I guess so. You've got to be good at something. This is Flet be the 1% of something though. Waking hours. I guess so. You've got to be good at something.
