ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Thanks Ash, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Warner Megan. You guys are lucky I'm here today after the haul I had at the Music Awards last night. For what, best classical? Right, okay, yeah. I'd forgotten that you were a classical musical performer. It's often easy to forget. It is, yeah. I'm forgotten that you were a classical musical performer. It's often easy to forget. It is, yeah. Because I'm a two-sided coin.

Like heads, classical music, tails, all-round entertainer. Oh, my God. Caitlin was just telling me that, weren't you? You could hear Caitlin's eye roll. Caitlin was just saying, it's amazing how you balance them. That's what she said. Yeah. I said, hey, look, it's not easy, but, you know, you've got to work at these things.

You just make up these conversations in your head, sweetheart. Hey, whatever helps you get through the day. Now, speaking of Caitlin, we need to deal with something. She's misled us. We need to talk about this later on in the show. Misled us for charity. Want my money back. It's a bit awkward.

Deal with that on the show this morning. Jason Derulo's on the show. We're only days away from Friday Jams Live this Sunday. And let me check the latest weather while you tell us about Jason Derulo. Okay, so yeah, I caught up with Jason Derulo backstage in Melbourne. Caught up or dribbled on?

Or both? He leaned into me in that picture. And you were already dribbling. Yeah, Megan said, oh my God, his body was so hard.

Do not flinch. You did say that. He did push-ups too in front of us. It was a good time. Sunday, a high of 21

and a low of 17. So it's going to be a warm day. Later in the day, like a low chance of showers. So it's looking pretty good. It's good.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines have found interesting, quirky, odd news stories and Vordermagen deliberate

pick one headline only. Headline one, supercharged hogs. Oh, I know. Son of a... Headline two, church lyrics misprint. And headline three, police captured donut shop robber in two minutes. Hot play. I know number one.

Okay, what is it? So there's this massive, apparently, a massive problem with feral pigs in America. Like wild pigs. Not hedgehogs. Hogs, hogs. Pigs, hogs. And didn't they get, they found a drug drop. They got into a bale of cocaine

that had been like dropped out of a plane or something. Coked up piggy. Yeah. I believe they dug it out of the ground. Oh, they dug it. Oh, so it had been buried and they could smell it. They tr a cooked up piggy. Yeah. I believe they dug it out of the ground. Oh, they dug it. Oh, so it had been buried and they could smell it. They truffled it, yeah.

There's something down here. It might be a truffle. And they got into it. Yeah. Then they went on a rampage, right? Yeah, of course they did. They were high on coke. Yeah.

On a bale of coke. Oh, my God. Yeah. I'd love to see that. How many dollars worth of damage I think I saw they caused some like $50,000 worth of damage

to property? Jeez. It was $22,000 worth of cocaine. Oh, maybe that was what I saw because I was just seeing a different,

because it was in America, right? Yeah, it was. Yeah, right. So I think it was like I thought it was nearly $50,000 US $18,000 worth of cocaine. Oh my right. So I think it was like, I thought it was nearly 50,000 US, $18,000 in cocaine.

Oh my God. Schnuffled up. Do you want story two or three? Misprinted church. Yeah. You want misprinted? This has got some potential. Okay, all right.

Well, we go now to Sri Lanka. Oh, lovely. Where there was- MIA is from. Yeah, that's all I think of. Where what? MIA is from. MIA is from.

Del Marti. That's all you know about Sri Lanka. My and Del Marti. That's all you know about Sri Lanka. And then Nicki Minaj singing it in her lyrics. Sri Lanka. With me from Sri Lanka. Well, a church there in the city, in the capital of Colombo, they decided that they would

print out the lyrics to the hymns and such. Yeah, to the hymns and such. When I was growing up, when we were going to Catholic church, they always cranked them on an O-H. P. O-H.

P. Yes, that was the P. The thing you put on the P was the T. Yeah, so rather than get the Bible or whatever books got all the hymns in it, rather than, you know, type it out word for word. The hymn book. The hymn book.

The Bible doesn't have the songs in it. I don't know. I think the songs came later. The songs in the back of the Bible. Shock horror. I don't know what's in the Bible. Shock me. The songs came when everyone was like, we need to liven this up some.

It's pretty depressing reading this book. Like the hero gets strung up. He comes back, but then he's gone again. There's a flood. A lot of bad stuff happens in this book. We need to jazz it up with some music. So you're saying there's a book with all the songs in it? A hymn book. Oh, right.

So rather than, I'm guessing whoever was in charge of the service, rather than type out the hymns from the hymn book, they were like, well, I'll just Google and copy and paste. So they Google Hail Mary and copy and paste and print it out and send it around the church. They had

copied Tupac's Hail Mary from 1996 with some rather disturbing lyrics. Oh, I was going to say, should I get up the song? But actually, no, don't, no, don't, Bourne, because there are some, yeah. So come with me, Hail Mary, run quick, see, what do we have here? Now, do you want to ride or die?

La, da, da, da, la, la, la. I ain't a killer, but don't push me. Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting female anatomy. Picture, paragraphs, unloaded, Wides' words being quoted. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. That's so funny. Seeing N-words coming for me to my diamonds when they glistening. Now, pay attention.

Rest in peace, Father. I'm a ghost in these killin' fields. Just try and put that to an organ. Hail Mary, full of grace. What does it... Hail Mary, catch me if I go. Let's go deep inside. Catch me if I go.

Let's go deep inside. Yes, and that's when someone said, I think this is Tupac. Not the actual OG Hail Mary. I like to imagine it was the 80 year old organist that was like this ain't Hail Mary, this is Tupac. And everyone's like

oh. That's good stuff. I don't even think Hail Mary is it a song or is it just a spoken word? I don't think I know that song. I don't know what's even in the Bible, let alone. Oh my God.

Are you talking about Tupac or the hymn? Are you talking about Tupac or the hymn? I was talking about the hymn. I don't know that song either. Yeah, I think it was more like the spoken word. Right, okay. Are you going to go to hell was a question you asked three seconds ago.

If it exists, I think you will. But to be honest, it's going to be the better of the two parties. Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, because I'll probably know a few people there.

You've got your Freddie Mercury's. You've got your David Bowie's. Elton John's going to be there. Right, okay. Oh, yeah, that's a good one. I personally think Amy Winehouse. Right.

I'm not a singer, though. I don't get that comparison. No, I was just naming how good it's going to be musically. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. You like going to festivals and concerts. Like, what a festival. Who's going to be upstairs at the festival?

Kanye? And he won't even play any of his good stuff. No, he won't. Blech. Cool. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

So the Great British Bake Off is massive in Britain. People love it. We've got our own, don't we? Is that starting soon? The Kiwi Bake Off? Yeah. Started. Started.

Okay. Yes, Sunday nights. They go absolutely cray over it. I remember we've talked about this before when it gets down to the finals. People are like, the nation stops and watches us. Yeah. They love it. It's kind of unheard of for a TV show to stop the nation like that. And who's that

lovely old lady? Mary Berry. Was it Mary Berry? She's like a nan or mum. One of the judges, yeah. She's so lovely. I'll give her a cuddle. There is a porn version of the TV show. Why do we have to do

that? Yeah. And lots of people are very upset. It's called the Great British Bonk Off. Okay. Ten points for the name. Ten points for the name. Porn Parody. Instead of Mary Berry, they've named her Mary Cherry.

And it's got some explicit scenes in there. Some scenes I can describe to you is they're, like, beating eggs and stuff and whipping cream. Okay. Sorry. And then there's one where you can see Mary Cherry fondle the boobs of one of the female bakers while she whisks. Right.

There is another one where the Paul Hardywood. Who's that in Great British Jackal? Is he another Jackal? Is he another? He's one of the judges. One of the judges. Okay. Oh, okay.

So he is seen, the actor that's playing him, is seen underneath a competitor's apron as they handle a show-stopping challenge. Yeah, Channel 4, who makes the Great British Bake Off, is very upset. They said these films have not been made without prior knowledge or approval. What, because people were thinking they made a spin-off?

Really? Actually? And apparently there's nothing they can do because it is protected by a 2014 amendment to the UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act. Satirical. Parodies, yeah. So they're allowed to do it and there's nothing they can do about it. Imagine if you were like so famous that somebody made a parody of you.

Yeah. Or like was photoshopping like your head onto. Deep faking. Like deep faking. Oh no, I'm not down for that. No, that wouldn't be fun. That's weird. That's. Oh no, I'm not down for that. No, that wouldn't be fun. That's weird.

That's where we get a little bit too much. Yeah. Well, that's going to be everyday life soon for anyone like deep faking.

Yeah, that's alright. Like already apps now that can do that. Great. That's good. Good, great,

nice, neat. Lovely. Fantastic. Actually, speaking of like being confused for someone else,

I've got another image to send of you from RuPaul's Drag Race. So you've appeared on another episode. You're Doppelganger. The pit crew. From the pit crew. And I'm also apparently hosting a night out at a gay club in Britain. This is a big set this overnight.

The Brit crew. The Brit crew, boys. Plus Pizza Party. I'm not sure what that is. Right, and you're there hosting that in your undies. Yep. And you're topless in the photo. Yep.

Brilliant. Got to sell tickets, I don't think. I'm going. They've got me. Booking flights, are you? Yeah. I just want to get a grab a seat now, yep. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. This is so rude. A study's been done in the UK. You had to vote on your most annoying Christmas songs in the UK. All of them. There's a top 10 list. A few of these are like vintage that I don't really know.

Okay. Yeah, I was going to say, what even is 10 popular Christmas songs? No, annoying. Most annoying. No, no, but I could even name 10 popular ones. White Christmas. Is that on the list? Snoopy's Christmas.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Nah, that doesn't count, hey, because that's just a holiday song. That's not like a specific artist. But you guys don't listen to Spotify Christmas album playlists, eh? No, Megan, we're growing men. No, because there's actually a lot of modern artists that do Christmas songs. Ariana's got great Christmas songs. Does she?

Yeah. Really? Does she? Covers or originals? No, no, originals. Justin Bieber's got... Yeah. What is it, Mistletoe?

That's quite a good song. Everybody wants that one song that's going to be everyone's favourite Christmas song. So they can retire. You imagine, exactly. You imagine nailing the next big Christmas song. Doesn't it make her like, that's all she has to, she doesn't actually have to work. Oh, the way she burns through cash. She probably does have to do some other work.

This time every year, she earns bank just on that one song. Okay, I'm looking now. There are a few Christmas songs. I just looked up Christmas playlist. There are a few well-known Christmas songs. Yeah, no shit. No, but like... That you'd put on your favourite list.

No, no, no, that you would know and be able to associate to an artist. Right. Like, I completely forgot about Wham's Last Christmas. I love that song. Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day it was boxing day. I can see how you won all those music awards last night. I mean, this isn't even my genre. It's not, no.

Okay, so I'll hit you with the top ten list. This is the most annoying Christmas songs voted in the UK. Number ten is Jingle Bell's Andrew Sisters. Andrew's Sisters? I don't know. Right. I don't know. Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell.

No, that's Jingle Bell Rock. Oh, yeah. Jingle, I don't know. Number nine, Santa Baby. Who's the cat that's that? Santa Baby. This is kind of a great tune. Come sliding down my chimney tonight.

She's sexualising Santa. Oh my God, what she want? Me too. The Jackson 5, Santa Claus is Coming to Town is number eight. It's the eighth most annoying song. That one grates me. Baby, It's Cold Outside, Tom Jones and Carice Matthews. Okay.

Baby, it's cold outside. That's the Tom Jones version of that song with that chick who, from Catatonia. It's all over the front page. Okay. Maybe it's cold outside. That's the Tom Jones version of that song with that chick who, from Catatonia. It's all over the front page. A fairy tale of New York, the Popes. Yeah, that's ruthless. I know. When you listen to the lyrics. It's not age.

Well, they say the F word and not the four-lettered one. Yeah. So remember, this is the most annoying Christmas songs. Number five is Last Christmas Wham. That's up there with the best of them. Yeah, but it's one of those cases of the most well-known Christmas songs are going to be the most annoying ones. Yeah.

Number four, Merry Christmas Everybody, Slade. I don't know that song. Number three, I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day, Wizard. What I've learnt is we might know these songs, but we definitely don't know the artists. No. Number two, the second most annoying Christmas song, Do They Know It's Christmas, Band-Aid.

Oh, yeah, that is annoying. It's so smug. It's so smug. So smug. This is Sarood. Number one, the most annoying Christmas song and also the most lucrative, so she don't care, Mariah Carey.

So I googled global sales of 16 million copies. That's not even counting streaming, which would take into account like the last 10 years. The song remains Mariah Carey's biggest international success and the 11th best selling single of all time

in the world ever, ever, ever. As of 2017, the song was reported to have earned her $60 million in royalties alone. $60 million? Yeah. Good Lord. Were you imagining more?

No. So I don't know, every Christmas, what would she make of that? A few mil? Just for streaming and people buying it? I thought it would have been higher than the top 11. You know, there's no other single that every year would get a massive bump in sales. You know, you said it's the 11th highest song. Oh, yeah.

You know, now there's streaming, you don't buy it. It came out in the time of the buying. Yeah, but for a song that's only listened to for two months of the year. Oh, yeah, I see what you're saying. Like, it's not ticking up any more purchases. It's not ticking up sales in, you know, March, April, May, June, July. Right, right. Are there any copies in the warehouse in JB Hi-Fi on CD?

Probably. Do you reckon? Well, because Nan would need a copy. Yeah, boomers would love a copy. In time for Christmas. Well, there you go. If you run a mall, those are the... I love that you think my Nan is capable of putting a CD in a CD player.

Or even if she has a CD player. Isn't that weird? My Nan doesn't have a CD player, Or even if she has a CD player. Isn't that weird? My nan doesn't have a CD player, and I don't have a CD player. Yeah. My parents do. Yeah, right. They're boomers, so.

That became their generation. Yeah. Interesting. $3.8 million a year. That's why I went quiet. I was... Math-ing. Math-ing.

So if you ever hear Megan quiet, she's math-ing. Or online shopping. It's one of the two. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now these shoes could actually, they're not going to be here in time, but these would be the sort of thing that would be good to wear to Friday Jams. Because yes. Wait, are you bringing in shoe news?

Shoes news. I thought Megan was the shoes person on the show. Nah, this isn't Megan's bag. This is my bag. This is a comfortable shoe. How cute was it the other night when Vaughn was asking us what shoes he should buy? That was so cute. So cute.

Well, no, because I didn't know. I remember someone saying something about one pair. It was a type of new balance. Okay. And I was like, which ones do you get? You were like, which one to call, guys? Someone was saying they're no good. And I'm glad I asked because those ones you said you had,

they weren't comfortable. Aesthetically, I liked the black on black, but Fletch said they weren't as comfortable. I said I had them and they were not as comfortable. The ones that you... The 24-7. It's the same ones I've got. Just new.

Black and white. Upgrade. They're a classic. And you look good in summer in them. Thanks.. Just new. Black and white. Upgrade. They're a classic. And you look good in summer in them. Thanks. We told you. So good. I'm glad that you asked us.

I need to get some more socks. Anklets? Yeah, same. I need to buy those too. Yeah, maybe we can do a bulk purchase of socklets. Well, you're coming around later, aren't you? We could go shopping in the city afterwards. We're going shopping after the show.

Don't. Order them online. I already took them. Double pop yourself shopping after the show. Don't. Order them online. What are you talking about? Double pop yourself, please. Okay, all right. So Nike have released a line of shoes specifically for people in the medical profession. Who, nurses, doctors, people who are on their feet all day. This is the domain of the croc.

Could people in kitchens, because people that wear crocs. Gardeners, kitchen, medical staff, all of it. These ones specifically designed, and even like the design of them is really cool. Yeah. There's one, the white one on the bottom,

they've all got, I don't know how to describe that. It's very American. Hospitals have that logo that looks a little bit like a clean version of the Spark logo, like an asterisk. Oh, yeah.

That's kind of like the sign for hospitals in America. Yeah. So they designed, the soles all have one of those on the bottom. Can you show us what they look just on the, I know this is wasted on the radio, but maybe Megan and I could give. Like that. Oh, yeah. So it's kind of a cross.

And the bottom, and there's a line on the bottom that goes through that logo, and it's like a heartbeat thing. Oh. It's kind of like a cross between a croc and a reef shoe and one of those free runner shoes. Yeah. But without all the individual toes. Would you say that's what it is?

Yeah. Is that like a wetsuit material? It does look like a wetsuit shoe. It's not wetsuit material, but it's similar. Right. Okay. Similar quality. I guess easy to clean. Yep.etsuit material, but it's similar. Right, okay. Similar quality. I guess easy to clean.

Yep, yep. Well, that's what it's, spill protection. Right. So they did all the testing of what would need at a children's hospital. Okay.

Asked extensive questions and then just like looked, strapped some gadgets on some shoes, saw where the pressure points were for your average nurse or doctor. And then they designed the shoe thusly.

Yeah. Durable, comfortable, versatile, spill protection and a grippy sole. Why can't they be cute too? I think they're pretty cute. Better than a croc. Bourne thinks they're cute. I do think they're kind of cute. I'm not really a white shoe guy.

A lot of people wear crocs in the kitchen. What do you wear at your cafe, Megan? I just wore my Nikes yesterday, but I got a dribs on them, and I was really upset. Yeah. But yeah, one of our chefs wears Crocs. He swears by them. I was like, yeah, but not cute, are they?

Yeah, but then he gets dribs on his Crocs. And he just hoses them down when he gets home. Perfect. Exactly, see? Could you put your Croc in a dishwasher? Probably. Oh, I don't know. You put chicken crock in a dishwasher? Probably. Oh, I don't know. You wouldn't want to put it

on extreme heat. You wouldn't want to put it on pots and pans and too hot it would melt them. They've kind of melted in between the layers. God, imagine picking crocks out of your little filter

bit at the bottom of your dishwasher. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. This is for anyone who wants to be like cool auntie

or like best parent over Christmas Yep Trade Me has revealed their top 10 toys that kids want this Christmas Four out of the 10

have to be bathed, grown or dissected to kind of be revealed Oh right I guess you said no because I guess people are already searching

Yeah Have you finished your Christmas shopping? You're really on to it? Oh, I'm almost done. Almost done. Sheesh. Yeah. I always start early, just spread it out over paychecks. That's clever. I mean, just

leave it till the last minute and put it on the credit card. That seems like financially sensible. Spread it out over way too many paychecks. Yeah. So, number 10 of the toys that kids want this Christmas is a Toy Story Buzz Lightyear pop vinyl. Okay. Specifically a Buzz Lightyear one.

Yeah, yeah, okay. I love the pop vinyls. I thought Woody would have been, but everyone wants a Buzz. No, the Buzz Lightyear pop vinyl looks awesome. Right. Number nine is a soggy doggy. Tell me more. What is a soggy doggy?

I was banking on Vaughn. Knowing. Oh, okay, so now that I've clicked it, it is like you take it in the bath with you. That's a board game. These were around last Christmas. No, but it's... Nah, it's a board game and you get him wet. Oh, you wet the dog and then it shakes. It's your turn.

You have to put your face by it and push the button and he shakes and it gets you all wet. That sounds so fun. Yeah. Doggy doggy. Number eight, a Lego city diving yacht. A diving yacht. I know Legos. Do they float?

Does this actually float? I don't know. You could try it. I mean, I wouldn't count. Oh, okay. It's not mucking around. It is pretty. Okay.

It's just, yeah, Lego City's like, you just keep adding to the Lego City collection. That's how they get you. Yeah. Yeah, that's how they get you. Number seven is a Harry Potter invisibility cloak. Now, I've looked this up. How does that work? It looks like a ripple.

It looks like it works with an app. Is it just an indie box? So you put it on. No, no, no. You put the cloak on. You actually wear it. And then through the app, you can only see your body. I mean, your head.

So your body's gone. So it's technically green screened you. Yeah. I guess. Okay, wow. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I wonder what colour it does pick up. Because then if you put everything else that is that colour at the same time,

you'd be able to see nothing. Number six of the toys kids want this Christmas is Boppy the Booty Shaking Llama. It is a little llama toy. It's white with little pink ears and stuff and it literally booty shakes. It's a Zuru pet. Is it? This is my parents' favourite thing to do at Christmas. Is that a Zuru, is it? God, they've made some money because it's in New Zealand. pet. Is it? This is my parents' favourite thing to do at Christmas. Is that a Zuru, is it?

God, they've made some money. Because it's in New Zealand. Oh, is it? It's two brothers and a sister. The sister's dating Arlie Williams now. Oh, yeah, I saw that in the spy. I didn't even know he'd broken up with his wife. I did a lot to comprehend at that time.

You did a lot to take in. But, yeah, that's a Zuru. It's a llama. What is it? It just looks like a little booty pop. I drove past a llama there that I got souru. It's a llama. What is it? It just looks like a little booty pop. I drove past a llama there that I got so excited. They're so cute. You should get a llama.

Nah. They make noise or something. Yeah, okay. It can be very grumpy too. I want number five. Pictionary ear. It's a pen. You draw in the ear.

What? So you draw, you air draw. And then. But how do you see it? How does it stay in the ear? Does it go in the air? Does it go on the screen? Oh, there's a screen.

Okay, right. It goes on another app based. Yeah, app based. Have you played Pictionary with your wife since that fateful time we played? No, no, no. This is a big thing.

The girls want to do this thing called Family Game Night on Friday. They probably said on a TV show or something because we ignore them and just make them

watch TV for hours. They want to spend time with us. And we're like, okay, needy losers. But I said to them, I was like, you know, your mother and I, we can't play games. And they're like, why? I said, well, mum's a sook. She's a quitter. She's a poor sport.

And she always packs a tantee. Yeah. So that kicked it off. That was really good fun. But last Friday night, we did sprints. What, outside running? Family game night was sprints. Okay. That's not a... Did you smoke your cat?

Yeah, good. That's not a games night. That's exercise. No, but that was what they chose to do for games night. Running races. And I'm training India, because she was only like a second behind Sade yeah I'm eventually my dream is for Sade

to be the slowest in the family just so you can tease her oh my god I've got a slow motion video on my phone that Sade will not let me put online

oh my you're an a-hole and it's me versus Sade and Indy's filming it in slow-mo and like I'm slow off the mark but once the train gets chugging, baby. Whoop, whoop, cold train.

Whoom, whoom, whoom, whoom, whoom. Okay, we've still got four to get through. Scruffle Up Springs is number four. Okay, we've got some of those. LOL Surprise. Ooh La La Baby specifically. Okay. Kids want this year.

Treasure X Aliens. These are the ones you have to dissect to get the little alien out of the goop. It's pretty gross. You have to dissect it? Okay, well. And number one are Bloom Dolls. It's the number one toy that kids want this Christmas. Bloom Dolls.

Bloom Dolls. They literally bloom out of a pot. Oh, okay. And then the pot opens and it's their house. Oh, okay. It looks like a slightly different take on an LOL doll. Yeah, it does. It's in a pot.

I could probably kill that because I've killed all my other plants this year. What? Is this possible? Good to see non-recyclable plastic is still at the forefront of all toys being popular. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Last night at a cafe,

usually a morning lunch, early a cafe, usually a morning, lunch, early afternoon cafe. They opened in the evening. This cafe was Beaufort & Co. Megan's cafe. Megan's cafe. Megan's cafe. Brunching out. We're a boys cafe.

Yeah, we're just doing random bits and pieces. I've been to both night events, eh? Yeah. Burger night. Burger night. And last night. Burger night. And last night was wings night. Bottomless wings. Oh, I know.

I would have gone, but Megan doesn't give me a discount anymore. And it's so far away. Remember yesterday when I was like, I don't want a review. Tough, you're getting it. Because I don't, if it's crap, I don't want to know. And if it's good. We had lots of behind the scenes debate about these wings. We all love wings.

Except Caitlin. Yeah, well. Is it because you don't like eating chicken off the bone? No, she doesn't eat meat. She's vegetarian. Because I've got a friend that doesn't like eating with bones. It's like, what's wrong with you? So many people don't.

Yeah, my dad's like that. He doesn't like any bones in chicken. So weird. Yeah, and I'm like, what's wrong with you? So many people don't. Yeah, my dad's like that. He doesn't like any bones in chicken. So weird. Yeah, and I'm like, but chicken wings are so nice. And they're like, no, it's the bones.

Thigh is the best part of the chicken. You're so juicy. Yeah. Juicy. Juicy. Yeah, people are exclusively breast.

But is it that the teeth, they don't like the teeth on the bone? Get your teeth on the bone. Or like, because the meat's sometimes like a little bit like brown or whatever. No, you get the bone in your mouth.

Yeah. You bite down, but it's more of a lip pressure bite. And then it just breaks off so easily, doesn't it? I can cook it. Right? Yeah. Well, how did last night go? I told you I didn't want.

We had many behind the scenes debates about how the coding was going to be. Okay. Because Megan was tossing up this polenta-based idea. Yeah. She wanted to get out of it. And I was like, I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sold on the polenta.

I was really pushing for an animal fat fryer. Yeah. What did you use in the end for oil? It's canola. Canola oil. Okay. I was most Yeah. Okay. I was most impressed.

Okay. Lovely wings. Oh, really? Very, very, very good wings. That's high praise. That's high praise. They were shit hot. Shadana were like, yum. So there was two options.

One was heavily sauced. Now, that was that Frank's hot sauce, right? Yeah. That was a hot play because that's great sauce for wings. A buffalo with the Frank's. And you've got to mix it with butter. You've got to get a good butter blend with the sauce. And a homemade ranch. Now I might

say that's the best ranch dressing I've ever tasted. Really? Yeah. I'm not into these store-bought ranches anymore. Yeah, right. Megan told me the secret. It's pickle juice. Oh, okay. Well, I'll tell you a secret. Alright, you're not KFC mate. Like, calm down.

No one's going out to Colonel Pepperdouble or something. Don't tell people my pickle juice secret. Or their secret ranch pickle juice. Pickle juice. Secret. I just discovered it by accident when I dribbled the juice in by mistake. So the super saucy ones were my favourite out of the two, but they were both really good.

The other one you called a naked wing. It had been deep fried, but the saucing was left to the individual. The dipping right into the barbecue or the ranch. But the buffalo one, and what a good sized wing. What do we think of the crumb? Good. The coating. Good.

I'm so hungry for chicken now. So my polenta crumb was fine. It was polenta crumb. Yeah. But not heaps. Because when you said polenta, I was imagining like, you know, when you do a schnitzel and you literally like, that thing is covered in breadcrumbs. It was like sprinkled through in. So what are you going to make this a regular? You're going to make this a regular thing?

No, I got to sleep so late last night. I went into the kitchen. Could you see? It was mayhem. I'd flung sauce everywhere. And then after everyone had left, I had to clean that up. You know when we get Megan

really wound up and she gets that look on her face? Yeah. Like when me and you really put our minds to it and get her really wound up. There were those days where she's like,

I can't wait to F and leave this place. Yeah. She had that furrowed brow. But we weren't even winding her up. No, but she was just stressed. No, Vaud just like sorted into a manic kitchen that's making wing after wing. And he just wanders in. He's like, hey, what's the set up?

Oh, yeah, what's going on? I'm just like, read the room, mate. Your energy level is definitely not matching mine right now. I didn't stay for long. I just stuck my hand in to see how it was all going. But they were a good-sized wing too. From the ZM think tank, this

is the top six. Hello there. A cute police dog calendar has gone on sale for 2020. When I was writing this down, I was like, it just said next year, so I was like, 2018. Wait, no, next year's 2019. No, wait, that's

this year, 2020. Good lord. No. No, wait, that's this year, 2020. Good Lord. So a police dog calendar. So that'll be the end of the decade too, won't it? New decade. At the end of this year. Oh my God. Yeah.

That's nuts. Don't start talking in decades. The calendars are going to cost $20 and the police dog charitable trust is who gets the money. And there was 130 images apparently, and it was really hard to pick only 12 because they're real cute. Even when I see them biting the arm of a dangerous offender, I think to myself, cute.

I want a pad. You want a pad and a good boy biscuit after you've done more than that fella there? God, it almost makes you want to rob someone's house to be chased down by one, doesn't it? Oh, no. No. Pets, yes. Mauling, dropped by one. No.

Pass. Pass. So the top six other cute organisation are pet calendars. Okay. For 2020, number six today, the accountant's parakeets calendar. Okay. A caged bird is about as exciting as it gets in the life of pets for

an accountant. Well, you know Megan's mum loves her birds. She's got birds in her. Yeah, canaries. They just sing too much early in the morning while you're trying to watch TV. Yeah. All the time. I had a cockatiel when I was a child and he was a noisy bastard. When you're a kid, you don't mind. But when

now, thinking about it, I just think that would be horrible. You'd let it go, wouldn't you? You'd just fly away. It's me watching Netflix and I was like... I was like, no! Shh! Shh!

It would end up making the Netflix noise. Oh my God, imagine that. It would be weird. Because they do copy noises, like phones and stuff. Like how Charlie could only say, and you need in cordless. Oh yeah.

Top 12 states you can get yourself into on a Saturday night when you're a pissed idiot for the CineJones fundraising calendar. It was always one of those calendars left over in January at the mall chaos

Someone who you don't see outside very often, generally has a big glass tank with lizards in it. In a heat lamp? One of my friends has a little gecko or lizards in it. In a heat lamp? One of my friends has a little gecko or a lizard. Yuck. Did they just catch it

off the ground? I don't know, but it's just been around forever. We used to, when we were young, there was this old fish tank in the shed at home, so we took it up

and we found, like, skinks and put them in and we're like, we're going to have the coolest little lizard there. They all died and they stunk. We just couldn't keep them alive. We single-handedly wiped out the Kipatahi bloody lizard population

by putting all the skinks into a glass cage of death. Practically. Now we're three on the list of the top six other cute organisation pet calendars for 2020. The inner city apartment dwellers pigeon that shits on their windowsill calendar. They can't have a pet because their shoebox

landlord won't allow it but they do get to look at a pigeon as it poops all over their windowsill. We've got slanty windowsill ledges. So they're great. They can't sit on them.

They don't land on them. That's a hot play. So good hot play. Because you always see the little wee token balconies. Yeah. And with the steel bars and they're all just caked in pigeon turds. Number two on the list of the top six other cute organisation calendars for 2020.

Very scary calendar, but hey, it'll sell. It'll sell. Oh, so cute. So cute. No such things as bad dogs, just bad owners. That's today's top six. 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. Yesterday, things happened. Stuff gets out of control. We get carried away. That happens.

If you listen to the show, that should be no great surprise to you. But basically, Caitlin had a story about how she got a Ministry of Justice letter about her reparations for when she was crashed into. However, she thought it was a letter and it was reprimanding. Now, then that got on to who from the Ministry of Justice would do the reprimanding. Andrew Little is the minister. So it seems he would be dishing out the smacks. And then... How did this happen? We were like, ooh, daddy.

And then I called him a thick snack. And then daddy thick snack was born. Question. Yesterday, when you found yourself trying to explain daddy thick snack to people, how did that go? Because in my head, this is as weird as it sounds. We're a long way down the road.

No one's really surprised. Shade, my wife, was just like, good Lord. But then it wasn't surprising. It turned out after we spoke about this and you tweeted him that he changed his official Twitter. This is the New Zealand Minister of Justice

to Andrew Daddy Thick Snack Little for about two hours. Yeah. Before news organisations started picking up on this. Yeah. And then I'm guessing he was like, well, I am the Minister of Justice. I probably should just change it back. Yeah.

But he's done stuff before. I think he handles his social media quite well. Good sense of humour. Yeah. And then, of course, people were like, what is this? Only in New Zealand would this happen. Yeah. Someone talks about it and then it...

The news stories started popping up. If you haven't seen this, you can go to our Instagram, FVMZM or our Facebook page. Yeah. The full video's there. But wow, it started getting picked up by the media. It did. It did.

Various news outlets wrote about Daddy Thick Snake. All the major ones. My favourite part was when staff had to explain to its largely Gen X boomer readership what was Daddy Thick Snack. Daddy, this is their words. Okay. Daddy has become a Gen Z pet name for a significant other. Not really.

Hey. Not everybody calls their significant other Daddy. Not everyone, but it's certainly popular. I wouldn't say it's a pet name. It's like a sexy time. Sexy, sexualized, dominance name. But anyway, Daddy has become a Gen Z pet name for a significant other, while thick means a curvy person,

and smack is a word to describe an attractive person. Brilliant. I love it. Although 54-year-old Andrew Daddy Thick Snack Little had to ask what a Daddy Thick Snack was, he thought it was a compliment. Oh, my God. It is a compliment. So news organizations were asking him to comment on Daddy Thick Snack.

I wonder who he asked when he had to figure out. They've all got a media, a youth, they've got a millennial on staff that they go to. Like it's a joke, but they do.

Yeah. Well, it's handy. You've got to have people trying to appeal to as many people as possible. You've got to have the different generations represented.

A lot of funny, a lot of meme pages on Facebook picked it up as well that I follow. But you seem to be as confused as anybody. Yeah, yeah. Because people are like, how did this, what? Is this a hack? Also, I wasn't aware of the 2016 art piece where someone made

a rug of a naked Andrew Little. Yes. Daddy, there's a thick snack. On that rug anyway. Yeah, lots of different people's comments. Some are saying only in New Zealand would a politician have enough of a sense of humour to rename themselves Daddy Thick Snack. So great. Somebody said,

Andrew Little's always been their daddy, and a thick snack, but now they know that it's official. Daddy Thick Snack to be one. Brilliant, okay. It's meant to be one. I can't wait to talk to Jacinda next week to see what she thought of this.

I'm kind of pleased we're not talking to her today because I feel like she might have told us off. Then on the same day that one of her ministers, Andrew Little, was called Daddy Thick same day that one of her ministers, Andrew Little, was called Daddy Thick Snack, one of her other coalition partners was calling farmers rednecks right outside Parliament. That's true.

Bigger problems. Yeah. Yeah, bigger problems. Being a big old snack ain't a problem, is it? No. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. So scrolling through Facebook yesterday, I was targeted by an advertisement

and it was like offering a few thousand dollars, like a side job. Wait, so it was offering money, not wanting your money. Not exactly. So careful, this is going to, this says a lot about you. It says a lot about your algorithm. Yeah, what you got. What does it say about my algorithm?

Well, it's something like... That I need money. That you're into weird stuff for money? It's going to be a weird insight. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, my God. That you've clicked some curious links in your past.

This was an ad for New Zealand Medical Trials, and they wanted people between the ages, I think it was 24 and 55. Okay. And I think, was 24 and 55. Okay. And I think, because I wish I'd screenshot it, but I don't know, just got sidetracked.

And it was offering like, I think three or $4,000 for taking part in this medical trial over a certain amount of time. No, no, no. And then it was like, click the link if you want to be a part of this. And I was like,

weird. Do you put little to no value on your kidneys, liver or vital functions for life? Because I have a friend that when he was at Otago Uni years ago, he did a lot of these. And I was like, you've got to calm down, mate. Like, you're going to end up being like 40 and then nothing's going to work.

Brian jokes on you because he died at 34. So he didn't even get to your prediction. When you do these, do you have to be like, I've done like four of these before? I don't know. I don't know because I've never done one. I would never do one. Nah. Do you get to know anything about it or no?

You just go in blind. Sometimes don't they give you a placebo? They might be giving you a placebo. I'd be like, give me the placebo. I'll act crazy. Give me the placebo. Yeah, they might tell you what it is, but give you a placebo? They might be giving you a placebo. I'd be like, give me the placebo. I'll act crazy, give me the placebo. Yeah, they might tell you what it is, but give you a placebo. Or they are just giving you literally a new drug. So you are literally a guinea pig, a human guinea pig.

There's some like, you could find some serious side effects. Well, because you know when there are ads or you get medication and you look at the side effects. Yeah. I mean, those are all things that people had to find out the hard way. Yeah. That's true. You know, like when they're like.

And that's after they've like changed the drug from original testing. Intense. Side effects may include intense crippling diarrhea. You're like, oh, somebody. Like lots of people. Yeah. Side effects may include calling your mum crying saying you think you're going to die.

And you know that someone could have been a university student who needed a couple of thousand dollars. Yeah. But that's what I wanted to ask this morning is is there anybody listening that's actually done one of these medical trials?

Have you signed up once and maybe you were overseas and your OE and a couple of grand was you know a good amount of money on your OE? To be fair, if I'd known about these when I was studying, I would have done it. But I'm too old now to do that to my body. I don't think it would survive. You've already got the body of a person who's done medical trials and you didn't even get paid for it.

Yeah. Well, you told us the other day about your 65-year-old lungs. Yeah. Because of your asthma. So, yeah, I don't think it's the best thing to do for me. But, okay, so, I mean, maybe there's nobody, maybe no one will call because maybe this is just a thing that, I don't know, but.

You've got a friend who's done it. I've got a friend that has done it, so I know that they do happen in New Zealand because they've told me about it. I don't know if they were for any out there drugs. So you just want to know if anyone's done it, how much they've got. And was it worth it? Did you actually get any

side effects or were you fine? And what did you have to do for your trial? Because I think, I remember my friend when he did it, they had to stay over at a place for a weekend. That's the thing. Is there a lot of admin? They're watching you in case you die. Like, that's another thing. You're on these drugs that they have to watch you over.

They have to watch over you in case something happens. So is that worth a couple of grand? I don't know. 0800-9666. If you've ever taken part in a medical trial, give us a call now. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Megan, it's your pick for Friday Flashback.

It is a Friday Jams artist, and we've got a double pass, a diamond double pass to this Sunday's Friday Jams Live at Western Springs. It was my favourite song. I just like, just a tease from my song coming up. It was my favourite song to see live. In Australia last weekend. In Australia, yeah. Are you going to be doing your hugs thing at Friday Jams this year, Fletch?

Where people come up, give you a hug, you give them a dollar? Is that what you did last year? That was quite popular. Are you talking about... You're a bad man. You know I hate hugs. I'm just a weird, socially awkward person. That's why you give people a dollar after they hug you.

I do not do that. So you are doing it this year? No, I'm getting better at hugs, but only with people I know. I'm getting better at hugs. Like baby steps, baby steps. Oh, bless you. Well, most people kind of nail the hug thing when they're a kid, but not Fletch.

I can't. I don't know. Okay, so talking about if you've ever done a medical trial, because I saw an ad on Facebook for a medical trial, and wow, people are doing medical trials, and not for a lot either. And especially when it comes to drugs that could really mess with you.

Yeah. Some text messages, and I did three when I was at Otago University, and my boyfriend did some too. Two of mine were staying overnight, and they feed you such great food. We hung out, watched movies, had to be at your bed for them to take bloods. Yeah. Two of the ones I did were assessing which of two painkillers absorbed better. So I wasn't going to kill you, but that was good. Hey, I'm not going to die.

That's a positive. That would be the best way to get money out of mum and dad. You know, like later in the year when you've already asked them heaps for money, then you ring up and you're like, hey, look, I probably don't need to ask you for the money, but I'm going to do a medical trial for like $500. I would be down there. Give me the $500. I would be down there. Give me the first flight. I would be down there.

That's so good. It's a good one, eh? Don't do that. No, you don't know what's going to happen. Oh, I need $500. Don't let your children go to a university with a medical school. That would be my advice. No, I think these drug companies go to where the unis are.

Any uni. Oh, really? From the sounds of it, yeah. Send your kids to a polytech. Where they might the most experimental they're going to get. Well, I mean, you know, apart from that, but there might be someone doing

a hairdressing course and they need someone to dye their hair black. That's as extreme as it gets. Right. Rosa, you took part in a medical trial. What happened? When I was at Otago, I did two medical experiments as well for money. Okay.

And so how much did they pay you for the experiments? It depends on how dangerous it is. So the first one I did was $300 and it was just like an external eczema cream. Okay. And then the second one, obviously a bit more dangerous, it was an internal pill for like stomach acid reflux or something and that was like, I think it was about $1,000. Okay, and then, so you took the acid reflux test pill

and did anything happen? Well, see, you don't know if you get the placebo or not, so if anything happens, things can happen when you get the placebo because it's the effect of the mind. Yeah, right. Yeah, nothing real. I never experienced anything bad. The first time, that's why I did it again the second time, and I kind of did it with

a group of friends. We all stayed over in a place, and they tested you and fed you, and it was kind of fun, but I would never do it again. I just had a girl's night out and took unpredictable medication. And you got a couple of thousand for it. That's amazing. I've taken some unpredictable medication with friends before and did not get paid for it. You didn't.

No, you had to pay for it. Rosa, thanks for your call. Kimberly, have you done a medical trial, drug trial before? It wasn't me. It was my husband. Okay. What happened? So, he did one for cat allergies. Oh, okay. drug trial before? It wasn't me. It was my husband. Okay. What happened?

He did one for cat allergies. Oh, okay. Because Megan's got this. Megan, you've got cat allergies. That's me. Yeah. So he was allergic to cats and they, first he had to go in

and they had to test to make sure that he was allergic enough. What did they do? They were rubbing a cat on them. Oh, yeah. I think they actually gave him something to like sniff and stuff because I remember he came home and like his nose was all runny and all of that so he was allergic enough to participate

and then they obviously gave placebo to some and the real drug to others and he got the real one. So for a certain amount of time, he wasn't allergic to cats. Wow. So it actually worked. Yeah, because he, I remember we went and stayed like at his auntie's house and he usually like flares up because they had cats and stuff, but it didn't affect him for a couple of times when we went to visit. Wait, how long did this last?

It doesn't last anymore, so his allergies flare up now, but I think it was a good couple months. What other side effects? Any other side effects? No, not that we know of. Wow, and how much did he get paid? I'm not sure of the exact amount, but it was definitely over a grand. Wow.

Kimberly, thanks for your call. Somebody text messaged in saying, I'm currently a roofer and these people are getting paid more than I am. Where do I sign up? Yeah, that's... I mean, it's all great and it's all fine, but you do run the risk of like... Liver failure later in life.

Dying. Yeah, kidneys not working. It's a real big gamble. Somebody messaged in, didn't we all partake in that early 2000s party pill trial as a nation? Yeah. Yeah, we certainly, that wasn't a good idea. I did a medical

trial. I got 2000 laser staples in my eye. Oh no! No, no, no, no. In your eye? Laser staples? Please tell me that was for more than a sausage. So I signed up to have it done on a new machine. I didn't know how new it was until I went in

and the machine was being unwrapped and the salesperson was telling the doctor how to use it. No! And they're about to shoot laser staples into your eyeballs. That's final destination. Somebody just messaged in after I made the quip that you would be best to, the most medical experiment they could be would be dyeing your hair black.

And somebody said their immediate reaction was, I would rather take an unknown pill than have my hair tampered with. I did also. How nuts is that? I was like, you're not dyeing my hair black. Absolutely not. Give me one of those painkiller trials. No.

That's crazy, eh? Yeah. By the way, The laser staples person Said they got paid nothing They just No Needed laser staples in their eye For some reason

No Maybe they had a whole lot of A4 eyes on top of each other That weren't being held together By a laser paper clip Did they do a couple of blank shots Before they just went Straight into their eye

They're just some rat thing Like a gun staple You've got to give it a couple of clanks To know that it's Oh yeah it's loaded. That it's working. I was at Otago. My best friend and I wanted to do a medical trial.

The night before, we had to go and give bloods to see if we could do the trial, but we'd been out for a BYO. Yep. And we had too much alcohol in our blood, but we caught up with somebody else who did the study later on, and they were not well. Oh, really? So I was like... Whoa.

Booze saved them. A BYO. A Canadian BYO saved their life. It would have been that Chinese BYO. Yeah, it? So I was like, booze saved them. A BYU, a Canadian BYU saved their life. It would have been that Chinese BYU. Yeah, it would have been. It's a good name.

It's a great BYU and it's a student favourite. I was at Otago Uni. I did one for eczema cream. Yeah. So I put it on my arm for all different strengths and had a look

at what's happened. I didn't have to say the name. I think I got 500 bucks for that. Somebody else said I signed up for a medical trial to treat my psoriasis. Psoriasis, yeah. Psoriasis.

Is it Kim Kardashian that has psoriasis? It is. I got $2,000 and it cleared up my skin. No side effects. It was absolutely awesome. Wow. That's great. Oh, bonus.

Yeah. I've got a feeling the people who died in their medical trials didn't text them to the show though. Friday Flashback. But it, though. Friday Flashback. But it's time for Friday Flashback. Megan, this is your pick today. It is a song from a Friday Jams Live artist.

And also, we are going to give away a double pass to see this band live. Friday Jams Live, a diamond pass. A diamond pass to Friday Jams. Are you going to... Oh, no. When are you going to tell people how to do it? After I give a wee tease?

Yeah, okay. Okay. So this song is an absolute banger. It was one of my favourite songs at the performance last week. I can tell you this is the number one song in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, New Zealand, France, Germany, Hungary, all over the world. Portugal, Slovakia, Scotland, Russia. Just number one everywhere.

Everywhere. Everywhere. Everywhere. It does sample an older song. What else can I say about Ange? Originally, when songs from this album came out, we're like, what's happening here? This is weird. But then, obviously, we very much got into it.

Great song. I'm so excited to see the Black Eyed Peas this weekend. Yes. We are going to play a game because this song is from the Black Eyed Peas. We are going to play a game called the Black Eyed Pause. Which Fletch just came up with five minutes ago. Genius.

Thank you. And then I got roasted for having a good idea. Where are these ideas during our brainstorms? So rude. When the Black Eyed Peas song pauses, we're just going to answer the first caller. And then they win a double pass to Friday Jams Live on Sunday. It's a diamond pass as well.

So that's ooh la la. You're going to be very close to the Black Eyed Peas and all of the artists. You've got to get your own way there though. We're not bloody transporting. Okay, so you've got to be able to pick these tickets up. Today in Auckland, that's the only catch. Right.

So that is the only catch. So listen for the... What if I could get someone in Auckland to pick them up for me, but I was going to be here by Sunday? Absolutely, that's fine. That's acceptable. That's acceptable. As long as you can prove that you're friends with the person that won.

But what do you call it? What's your little idea called? The Black Eyed Paws. Yeah. I said it. Oh, I didn't know you said it. I already that won. But what do you call it? What's your little idea called? The black-eyed pause. I said it. Oh, I didn't know you said it. I already said it. Yeah, pay attention, mate. I was thinking of T's and C's.

All right, the black-eyed pause is coming soon. It's the time. On, Zedam. I've never felt this way before. And I swear this is true. And I owe it all to you Oh, I Had the time of my life And I never felt this way before

I don't know, it just kind of takes you on a journey in memory lane of all the songs that you've heard for the last 10 years. Who, is there someone here that you really look up to? Yeah, absolutely. Janet was a huge influence of mine growing up. So yeah, for sure. Icon, legend.

We are here for the music and everything, but cats, what's it like? You have to get a persona of a cat and then it's just your face on the... What's that like? It's not just our faces. It's actually our entire bodies. So all our movements are tracked by these...

By the dots? By the dots on our faces, but on our bodies we have the green suits so everything all our movements are real so it's not like it's just our pace you know and it's like you know um and it's a ton of dancing you know some of the best dances in the world some of the best actors in the world the lineup is crazy i mean judy dench ema kellen myself taylor swift jennifer hudson james corden i mean the list goes on and on yes everyone who Judi Dench, Ima Kellen, myself, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, James Corden.

Nailed it. Okay, do you want to try hello New Zealand? Absolutely. So you'd say kia ora Aotearoa. I thought she was going to say kia ora New Zealand. I was going to be like, well, that's not challenging at all. New Zealand is Aotearoa. Aotearoa.

Yeah. Kia ora. Aotearoa. Aotearoa. Close. Do you know no one you nailed kia ora just stick with that

I mean, it's like, oh, my God, he kept touching my arm like all the time. He kept touching me and I forget what I was going to be like. I'm like, what's my next question?

Like, touching my arm? Did you hear when he called me doll? I was like, oh, I'm dead. Dead. Would Mr. Toyboy have given you a,

like a passcard here to understand, right? I don't think so. Oh, okay. I sent him the selfie of us together and he was like, I've opened for him. I, okay. I sent him the selfie of us together and he was like, I've opened for him.

Did you say I'm about to? I am so sorry. I am so sorry. I am so sorry to everybody. I apologise. I apologise. That was wildly out of line. You mean her packet of chips to share?

Yes! That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because you had a packet of chips there to share with her. I think we've got out of that one. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Now, Caitlin, our producer has been doing some charitable fundraising. She's always doing charity work.

Remember that time she went to Kenya? And what did you do? Help the sick kids? You're always doing stuff like that in orphanages. I like doing it. It's fun. I get to hang out with kids. I just love Fletcher's tone.

He's like, you're always doing the stuff with the kids and the yep. I know, I mean if I went to Africa, I'd gone on a safari for two weeks. The big five. Yeah, that's all you did for two weeks. I did, I saw that too. I saw, yeah. Sorry, I was a bit slow on that one. What? So you've got some charity work coming up

today and I saw you, you were getting ready for that yesterday, you were at a hockey match I saw on Instagram. That was a separate occasion, Carl. Unrelated. Okay, so that wasn't pre-training for today's charity event? No, because why would I need to play hockey in pre-training? I said it was weird you were at a hockey match.

You're very cheeky for someone who's dancing on thin ice. I know. I used to be a rep hockey player. I've probably still got a couple in me. Vaughan, Vaughan, you were a rep hockey player because your mum was a coach and you lived in the country. They didn't have enough players.

It was a one-girl team. No, it wasn't. There was plenty of enough players. Okay, can we stop with all this? Because I've got some important things to say. I have an apology to make. Okay, so I volunteer. I'm a Make-A-Wish fairy.

So I go and sometimes go and see some kids and find out their one tree wish and help make that happen. And I was asked if I wanted to do their Over the Edge event. I'll just call it Over the ZM. Over the ZM. Thank you. And so I was like, yeah, sure, I'm not, like it's abseiling. I'm not too scared of heights. Like I don't have to climb up it. It'll just be going down. It'll be the easy part.

And for weeks you've been getting your, you've been convincing your friends to go and donate. Yes. And thank you so much. I'm so appreciative. And you've been telling everyone, guys, you've got to donate because I'm abseiling down the Sky Tower. Yeah. I was like, I'm going to abseil from the top of the Sky Tower to the bottom.

And I was like, I know it's like a little bit scary, but I can do it. Majorly scary. Majorly scary. And then I realised yesterday, actually, after I told everyone, and thank you, Megan and Vaughan for donating. Fletch, still waiting on yours. No, I'm doing it today and I'm coming down. Tell them about that.

Fletch is a different sort of wish granting fairy. He's doing some wonderful work with the youth That was wonderful work with the youth Thank you for what you do for them I don't think anybody should be thanking him Guys this is mixed messages So you've been telling people for months

that you are abseiling off the Sky Tower. And because of that, people are like, well, if you're going to do such an incredible feat, and you know, because I can never do that, you've got to be, you know. Donating. Yeah, and also it's an amazing cause. So people were, you know, doing both. And then yesterday when I called the woman, I was like, oh, yay, I'm so excited.

And I was like, okay, so I'll see you at the Sky Tower. And she's like, no, no, don't go to the and I was like okay so I'll see you at the Sky Tower and she's like no no don't go to the Sky Tower she's like it's not at the Sky Tower you're scaling another building so

you're just de-scaling you're going down the building just a plain 15 storey office block no it's 17 storeys it's still very high

so what building is it do you have a name Tower 1 so it's just across it's on the corner of Victoria and Queen Street in Auckland that's the one I don't building is it? Tower 1. So it's just across from... It's on the corner of Victoria and Queen Street in Auckland. That's the one. 205 Queen Street.

Yeah, over the road from... What's that big makeup place? Mecca? Mecca Decker. Mecca Mecca. Mecca Mighty 10. Not Sephora. I probably should have read as well that I needed to do some training for this.

What do you mean? Like push-ups. They were like, we suggest that you could, you know, go to your local rock climbing or abseiling place for some practice and maybe do some press-ups because you'll get sore arms.

But it's easy. You just get set on the movies. You just go, and jump off the building and let a bit of rope out. Yeah. Put your foot on the building. Do it again.

And if you don't catch yourself, something else catches you, right? The floor. Right? The ground will eventually catch you. The awning. I think there's an awning. The rock-hard grasp of the ground.

And this is why Fletch is coming to watch that happen. To get my One News amateur video. Watch tonight at six. It'll be the leading story. Oh, God. No. This is definitely a one-up on that time we got on the weather. Yeah, I know.

Exactly. Yeah. So what time are you doing over the ZM? Over the ZM. So I think my time is 12.50, but it could be half an hour before or it could be half an hour after. So you need to be there from,

come with me at 11, Fletch, and we'll probably be out by two. Yeah, no, it'll be... Just give me a text before you're about to dock because I live by the camera. I'm not allowed to phone up there, so you'll have to... She'll still be shopping with me at 11.

Cut! Okay. But you can, people can watch. They can watch watch from farmers gary said he'd come down he's gonna watch he just wants to get out of work it's good from gary now um if people want to donate caitlin because i think this is a you do amazing work we should just give it a little plug oh thank you to your thing well amazing work yet he didn't part with any of his own cash. No, I'll do it. Make sure you bring coins. Yeah, you can donate down there.

You could maybe jingle a bucket at the bottom of the room. Please do. That'd be great. I'll just donate. I don't want to overcommit. So, because I'm really passionate about this, I've set up a text word. So you can text my name, which is Caitlin.

text CAITLIN to 9696. We'll give you a donation link. And if you're in Auckland Central today, 12.50, the death of Caitlin Jane Marrett. A flesh. If you're stuck in traffic later on on Queen Street and you're like, what the hell's the problem? Somebody didn't know how to abseil.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. It's, oh, what is this fact of the day going to be? You have had some shockers already today. And yesterday. The fact of the day was borderline, I would say. There is a line. Okay, there is a line in this that's...

We'll keep it clean. It's time for... Going to take us into dangerous territory. It's time for... Time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is there is a man with such a large appendage that he has filed for disability as it's affected his ability to get employed. You mean front appendage on a man?

What's his back appendage? Maybe someone didn't get it. Like a tail. Okay. If he had a tail, that could be. But no, this is the front. This is the male appendage. Okay, right.

He has, it is one and a half foot long. That is one entire Subway sandwich and then a six inch Subway sandwich. But is it the, no, because sometimes I give you the six inch at Subway and someone else got seven. That shits me when they do that. Or a six and a half, five and a half situation. They should have a ruler just on the bench. Oh no, I can spot five and a half. I know, but then so there's no issues.

Good lord. That's no issues. Good Lord. That's an Italian herb and cheese. Five and a half. Cut me half a foot long. Go back again. Go back again. Start again. Get a fresh roll.

Give me a fresh roll. Yeah. No, I don't want that one. I want the fresh roll. Call me a subway size queen. Give me the length. Give me the better half of that length. Yeah.

He said, I can't do anything. I can't work. I'm disabled. So I want authorities to declare me as a disabled person and give me support. Is this some kind of elephantitis? No, seriously. It's ginormous. He can't wear a uniform because none fit him comfortably

and he also can't kneel down. Because he'll kneel on it. That's serious. He'll kneel on it. That's serious. Imagine having to go into the office of whoever gives you the disability allowance and having to have that conversation with the person behind the desk. How do you even start?

So doctors have suggested and apparently they said the cheaper option rather than for us to put him on disability would be to fund a reduction surgery. But he's refused. Yeah, I don't know

because tampering with it, you know? Tampering with evidence. Yeah. Might not end up the same. He Are you going to read this line? Do we need to read this line?

Do we need to put a disclaimer? He tried to get into the Guinness Book of Records, but they refused to recognize his achievement after doctors discovered that his member was predominantly foreskin. He's cheating. It's mostly forey. Oh, God. Okay. Look at Caitlin's face. This is to foray. Oh, God. Okay. Look at Caitlin's face.

This is going to go back to the Subway sandwiches, like when they don't spread the fillings right to the end. It's crust. Two-inch crust. No, Subway, cut it to the end and put the cheese at the end, too. Get it all. And the sauce. Spread it out.

Okay. All across. He needs to get the snap. Yeah, why doesn't he get... Okay, I've got a lot more questions, but we can do this off here. We can discuss this off here, yeah. Vaughn's unplugging his HDMI cable. Oh, what are you showing us?

His ops cord. Whoa! Yeah. Whoa! So it gets to his knee. Whoa! That is nuts. I mean, that was a blow.

You can't see them. They're hidden behind it. They're just the normal size. So today's fact of the day is there is a Mexican man with a

19 inch long subway sandwich. Subway sandwich. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Jeez, what is the Subway sandwich of the day today? Friday.

It should be meatball on a Friday, I feel. I beg your pardon? Sorry. Mexican meatball on a Friday, I feel. I beg your pardon? Sorry. Mexican meatball. Why are we waiting to know? Coming up on the latest. We've given them enough free quacks for their gigantic sandwiches. I think, honestly, we've put people off them today.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Currently in the air is the latest test flight from Qantas flying from London all the way to Sydney. So that is... It's going to head on with another plane. No, that's just on your app. That's just on your app on the small screen. It's coming over Indonesia.

It's on the same flight path. It's not really far away at all. As Melbourne, Hong Kong. Right. Yeah, it's going to be arriving in six hours. It departed 13 hours, 40 minutes ago. God, it's still got six hours to go. So it's a 787-900 Dreamliner.

It left London Heathrow. It's flying nonstop. That is a total distance of 17,800 kilometres. There are 49 people on board. A lot of journos and Qantas staff. Right. Similar to what was on the Sydney, what did they do, Sydney or Melbourne to Chicago recently? Or New York, was it?

New York, I think. They did a test flight. That's their other line. 19 and a half hours. Could you imagine sitting in economy for 19 and a half hours? We've done 18, right? It was a little less, yeah. A little less.

17 and a bit to Auckland to Doha. That's one of the world's like top 10 longest flights. Top five. But this is going to be the longest. This will be a year if they pull this off. Those planes that I was worried about crashing, there's ones at 41,000 feet, ones at 34,000 feet. So they should just miss.

They should just miss. Just miss each other. They should just miss each other. Yeah, that's it. But could you imagine that? Like, would you do that? No. I mean, even with, because, you know, I'm a big fan of, like,

knocking myself out with sleeping pills if I go on a long flight. Yeah. Even if, I think the most I'd ever get if I took a sleeping pill would be eight hours. So even if you took a sleeping pill and slept solidly for eight hours, you still have 11 and a half waking hours in an economy seat on a long plane. Which is currently Auckland to LA, right? Yeah.

All awake. There's a lot of movies to get through. I'm looking at the route it took. What an unusual way it came. It kind of went straight across Europe. Look at that purple line. It went straight across Europe, bit of Russia there, bit of whatever this one is. And I think that's Kazakhstan, isn't it? It's deceivingly big, how at that purple line, it went straight across Europe, bit of Russia there, bit of whatever this one is, and

I think that's Kazakhstan, isn't it? It's deceivingly big, how big that is. And then it went kind of across China and then was like, whoop, and did this weird loop. And then a straight line to Australia. Because I know they look at which way the winds are going, and kind of, you know, also dodge

a few storm or any bad patches. Yeah. Or just stay right away from North Korea. But also when you turn that map into a round globe, that kind of does curve with the earth. Well, that part does, but that doesn't explain this weird dip over China. Okay. Oh, yeah. Either way, there's no way I'd be on a plane for that long.

That's too long, eh? Yeah, way too long. But then you've got to have a stopover, don't you? And stop somewhere and then... But at least it's a bit of a stretchy legs, isn't it? Stretch of the legs and a loss of the luggage, you know? That's the good stuff that you do when you get an unneeded stopover.
