ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thank you, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Thursday morning. Happy Thursday morning. Happy Thursday morning on nearly Friday. It was nice. I'm just trying to be happy and yeah. Okay, that's weird. Happy and yeah. Makes me more uncomfortable than just the casual. Right, Thursday based greeting. Because it came from Fletch.

Yeah. What have you been doing? Nothing. What do you mean, what have I been doing? Well, there's got to be some reason for a sprightly mood. No. On a Thursday. What did you have for breakfast?

Different breakfast? Just my oats. My oats and yoghurt. Is that your new shirt? Oh, I had a bit of extra coffee. Maybe it's just the heaped teaspoons of coffee that I had. Right, spring in your step. Could be that.

A little spring in your step. Yeah. Okay. We'll delve into this and let you know. Just trying to make up for Vaughan's downer. Just that. Because you look like you're just like half asleep. Yeah, well, I am.

I'm very, yeah, I am tired. I don't know why. Is this early? Probably why. I think that's fair enough. Well, it's no surprise you've been doing this

for long enough. No. What do you mean? It's no surprise that I should be tired or no surprise that I wake up early. Yeah.

Both. Okay, good. Coming up on the show, The Top Six. Yeah, McDonald's. I saw this Georgia who does the day show here at ZM. She put this on Instagram yesterday.

And there was all these amazing Happy Meals toys that I remember from when I was a kid. Yeah. What, they're bringing them back? Retro, like legendary Happy Meals toys. Happy Meals toys. And I was immediately taken aback. I saw a Transformer that turned from like a Big Mac into a little robot thing.

I remember those words. I remember those. Legendary. I mean, I was like fresh out of the... Same. But I remember. I was 82 at the time. Yeah.

I'm Benjamin Buttoning. I think quite well. But I've got the top six other 80s toys that they could possibly put back into the Happy Meals. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news stories, three headlines that I've found in Vaughan and Megan. Pick one only.

The other two are trashed and we never find out about them. This is how story time works. Headline one, Grand Theft Crash. Headline two, Vienna Vibrato. And headline three, Small English Village Mystery. Ooh. Ooh, Small English Village Mystery. They've been making TV shows about those for 60, 70 years.

Vienna Vibrato. What was story one? Grand Theft Crash. What are you? Vienna. I know Vienna. Oh, no, it's Venice that's getting the floods at the moment. Yeah, it is.

Not Vienna. And although I saw some anti-climate change people sharing an old painting of Vienna flooded. And they're like, see, it happened back then. Nothing to worry about. You're talking about Venice? Venice, sorry, yeah. But it's happening more often. Yeah, I know.

Oh, well. I kind of want some all-town mystery, but a Vienna vibrato gets me. Does that get you? It gets me a little bit. Megan! I was Googling Vienna vibrato just to see if I could also have the story through.

We're going Vienna vibrato? Yeah. Okay. We're locking that in. Think of a street's Vienna. You know I like those. Yeah. Do you remember when we found that video of how they make a Vienna? Yeah. One of those Vienna cakes. Do I want? Oh my god. Oh, I know what it is! No, we've already

Oh, it's good. Okay, hit it. We're settled. Go. You're not allowed to do this. Well, there was a Vienna Symphony Orchestra concert in Vienna at the city's opera house. And it was

mid-performance when everybody was evacuated because of a suspicious item. A suitcase was found vibrating suspiciously in the Vienna concert hall. I think I know where this is headed. Well, it's in the headline

Vaughan, isn't it? Yes. Vienna vibrato when the police opened the suitcase after the hall was evacuated. They found a vibrato when the police opened the suitcase after the hall was evacuated. They found a vibrato. Vibrating. That's such a lovely name for it. A vibrato. Is that what you're going to call yours now? It's better than the womanizer, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, but womanizer has a song. It's got a theme song.

It's got a theme song. It does. An empowering theme song. Yeah, it does. Well, an employee at the co-check sounded the alarm when they heard the suitcase vibrating. And police explosives expert used X-ray equipment. Could you imagine when that image pops up like you're expecting a pipe bomb or something and there's just a big old dilly.

A vibrato. Ah, yes. Who takes a adult fun toy to the kink shame? Concert girls are allowed to check. Genuine question. It was in the coat check. Yeah, it's a very...

It was in their coat check. So, yeah, the suitcase and the vibrato was reunited with its owner. Oh, my God. I'd be like, no, not mine. I'd be like, I did not leave that there. Oh, my God. I don't know how that... Someone else wants to pick my bag.

How do they just turn on like that? It's my neck massager. That's what I would have thought about my lie. That's the lie I'd be happily sticking with. Yeah. It's my neck massager. That's what I would have thought about my lie. That's the lie I'd be happily sticking with. Yeah. It's my neck massager. Because I had an electric toothbrush

turn on in my bag. Yeah, okay, here we go. No, tell us. Is that what you told Airport Security? It actually was an electric toothbrush. Yeah, but you know,

it's fine. It could have been a long one. I heard about those recently. It was in its case and its case looks like a... Don't open that! It's an electric toothbrush. And it was an electric toothbrush. Yeah, okay.

Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. The Amazon TV series set in the Lord of the Rings universe. I'm not calling it the Lord of the Rings TV show because it's not the Lord of the Rings TV show. It's set in the same universe. Close enough. You know what I mean, though. Yeah. It's just been announced that it's already been greenlit for a second season.

Before they've even made the first one. Great news. Great news for us. For New Zealand, yeah. They continue to make it here. But, like, that's a gamble, isn't it? Because they haven't even made it. Yeah, that's what we call a big old gamble.

People don't like it, yeah. Yeah. Is this the one that they need more hobbits and stuff for? Yeah, well, they're going to need even more now. Yeah, right. So if you're a little person, hold it. I reckon hold out. They wanted hairy people, really tall people.

Yeah. Stilt walkers. Stilt walkers. But the little people weren't for hobbits remember because there's no hobbits in this one it's to make the big people

look bigger yeah right remember when they did make Lord of the Rings and Sir Peter Jackson gave everyone a peek was he a sir then no he was just Pete

just PJ PJ he gave everyone a peek behind the curtain and he said that's how we made the hobbits look small and Ian McKellen look even bigger

as Gandalf was little people. And I don't mean little people. I mean, like, sometimes it was children. Sometimes it was just very small people. Right. But, yeah, it's already been greenlit for a second season. Is this annoying for you since it's been filmed out by you? Nah, not really.

They did have cones on the road the other day. I had to slow down. Oh, how inconvenient. I know, and I thought, well, if that's as inconvenient as... And there was a sign saying, trucks crossing. But then I don't even know if that was the Lord of the Rings. Could have just been some roadworks, maybe. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It was definitely something being filmed where they're doing the filming. Oh, okay, right. And the green screen is so big. The green screen, you can see the green screen from the road some days when they're like moving stuff around. Right. How tall is it? It's massive.

It's about at least three stories tall. And it's really, really wide. Well, yeah, because you've got to have mountains, don't you? Yeah, I know. You've got to put the mountains in. Well, they're not taking any shortcuts. But then I thought what they'd do is they'd just film it a little bit closer and then do the old artificial zoom out.

That's why you'd never be a director. You'd probably cut corners everywhere. I tell you what, it'd save them some money. It'd probably look pretty budget too. But then I think they quite like saying like, the most expensive TV series ever made. The biggest green screen ever used.

Yeah, but I'd be like, well just chuck a green sleeping bag over a rack. We'll save ourselves some money. Yeah, again, that's why you're not making TV shows. They're like, well, the miniatures cost $10,000. I'd be like, well, I just told you, you should use little Lego men. But no one's listening to me. Trying to save us all some money. But also making a far less high-quality product.

Hello there and welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook pages. This one comes in from Lisa. I think this was from Ash Burden, but I've not got that in my screen capture. Okay.

Lisa, two S's, writes, Houston, we have a problem. My dog found herself a new chew toy at the river and refuses to give it up. How the hell do I make her understand this one? And seriously, WTF Ash Burden. That's how I knew it was Ashburton. And her dog has a massive dildo.

Vibrato. No, it doesn't. It's one of those ones with a suction cup on the end. Oh, good Lord. A suction cup? Yeah. Why do you need a suction cup? Don't look at me.

You are very quick to say, don't look at me then. I don't know what you need a suction cup for. But a mold... I mean, I guess. You know when you try to get something off a dog and they're like, oh, no, no, no, I'm running from you. This is my name. I'm going to watch you from a safe distance.

Look, look at your dog. That's massive. Yeah, mate, it's not mucking around. It's great. It's got a suction cup on it. They're big. Wow. I. It's not fucking round. It's got a suction cup on it. That big. Wow. I'm going to chew on this old dildo down by the riverside.

Please use your imagination. The shower, the fridge, any hard surface. The fridge. I mean, obviously, if you live by yourself or don't do it Right. The fridge. I mean, obviously, if you live by yourself or don't do it in the flat fridge. I would say

not on old glass. Oh, okay. Like if you've got an old wooden joinery. Right. Because that glass is probably a little bit weaker.

Double glazed windows? Maybe. Okay, moving on. Maybe. Good Lord. It's up to the Lee page we go now. Lee as in the... Lee Sawmill.

Yes. North of Auckland. Lovely guy. It'll be setting a gear up for summer. Yeah, well, the feelers will be playing at the sawmill. You can't promise that. I mean, it's an inevitability. It's an inevitability.

It's an inevitability. Yeah,ability. Well, Phil's looking for love. Okay. I love Lee. Phil's, oh, this is all in capitals. Okay. I love Lee. Full stop. And always have, I've lived here for five years now. Laugh emoji. Been single five years too. Space, space, space, space, Full stop. Space, space, space, space. Again, we're all in capitals. Looking for a lady. Dot, dot. To settle down with.

Dot. I don't want to be on my own anymore. That's fair enough. Aw. That's fair enough. Loves walking on the beach. Bushwalks. Swimming.

Snocking. Now what's that? Snorkeling? Snorkeling? Snock, snocking. Snocking. S-N-O-C-K-I-N-G. Snorkeling Snorkeling Now what's that? Snorkeling? Snorkeling? Snorkeling Snorkeling S-N-O-C-K-I-N-G I'd say snorkeling

Snorkeling? Nah, I'd say he means snorkeling Yeah I have 80 chickens Imagine all the eggs Oh my god, if they were all laying Phil's the guy for you The eggs for breakfast every morning.

I have 80 chickens, cows, and more. Text Phil. And then Phil puts his number in there. Yeah. And this is but the first. Phil has been posting multiple statuses on the Love Lead. Looking for love. Okay.

I don't know if Love Lee's more of like, we love Lee. Right. Not looking for love. Okay. I don't know if lovely is more of like we love Lee not looking for love in Lee which I believe is the confusion. A weird insight into you once Sade leaves you.

Yes. All caps. Lots more chickens. I have chickens and real fluffy cows. They're real cute. I love snorkelling. Come pet my cows

and do some snocking. Once we work out what that is. It is you. Jessie writes on the Manawatu buy, sell and trade page. For sale, $8. Pissy bedside table. Bedside table for sale. Flatmate pissed in the

drawer though. As is, where is, cheers. No, chuck that out. It looks like a nice, it looks like a part of the bedroom furniture set. Oh, right. I think Jessie's, this is a little bit of a public shaming for the flatmate. Yeah. More than anything. Real shame that there's been urine in that bedside table.

It looks like a nice bedside table. Goes very well with the bed base. Lifestyle Farmers South Canterbury. Alice posts, Hey, skulls wanted. Clean. I'm a biology teacher after animal skulls. All welcome.

Herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, any lying around I'm happy to collect. Please note though, I'm looking for donations. They'll be used for a unit on animal adaptations. 12 bio stuff, thanks in advance. Animal skulls. So this is a conversation I've had briefly with my children.

Right. That when the goats die, I want to keep the goat skulls. Why? Because they've got big horns on them and I think they'll look pretty cool. That's really grim. That's not surprising though. When I went to your house the other day, you still had that. Was it a mummified rat hanging on the wall?

A mummified rat pinned on the wall. Well, Sade won't touch it and I just think it's funny having it stuck there. It's just pinned on the wall like a poster. Her reward for when this is all done, when these minor renovations are done, is I'll get rid of the mummified rat. Until then, it remains as a wall decoration. And finally, from the buy, sell, swap, huanganui page, Mata is looking for a job.

Need a job that pays at least $50 an hour. Got heaps of experience. Otherwise, I'll be staying on the Benny. We're not asking for much. $50. $50 an hour. Jeez. Good Lord. Great for much. $50. $50 an hour. Jeez. Great going rate.

Those are why I've been, he's looking. Yeah. If anyone's got anything going, get amongst. Those are today's

community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to ours, FEMZM on Facebook.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I've just been targeted on Facebook. Okay. You know how you get targeted advertising? Yeah. Sometimes it's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I've just been targeted on Facebook. Okay. You know how you get targeted advertising? Yeah, sometimes it's a bit rough, isn't it?

By a funeral home. Oh, wow. Is it because I'm dying? Well, you're now in that age where you're a highly strung white male and you could just drop dead any second. I better not go play squash at lunchtime. I might have a heart attack and die. Maybe it's because I'm in the age group now where,

oh no, my parents, they've still got some life left in them. Like right now they're a noosa. Did they go to noosa? They did go to noosa. How are the fires? They've got the fire under control. Oh, they've got the fires under control. But no, maybe that's why, because it knows that. They're at the fire under control. Oh, they've got the fires under control. Okay, good. But no, maybe that's why, because it knows that...

They're at the fires. Someone who I've listed as my mum has just checked into Noosa and that's on fire. So David's funerals are like, target anybody whose parents are currently in Australia near the fires. Or your Facebook knows that you've got an Apple Watch and it's getting your blood pressure

and it knows that you're up and down. Mate. God, I heard about this at Friday Jams. Oh, God. This has been born the last week. Oh, my God. My heart rate is. Oh, my God.

Look at my heart rate. Resting heart rate, 58 beats per minute. That's the heart rate of an athlete. Can I wear it and see what my resting heart rate is? No, I want to try and get his heart rate up. 60 beats per minute. That's the heart rate of an athlete. Can I wear it and see what my resting heart rate is? No, I want to try and get his heart rate up. 60 beats per minute. So if every second, my heart's just like... I don't know.

Can I see my heart rate? Can I put it on? How long does it take? I don't want to see my heart rate. I think I have to put in the password once you... Oh, now the straps are a bit... Jesus Christ! Oh, you'd pop that on like that. put in the password once you once I put it on oh the straps what straps Jesus Christ

okay now put in the pin just so we can all see what your heart rate is. Oh no, because I really want to know. What if mine's like higher than Vaughn's? Tapping the watch is like bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. You're in. What does it say? You just got to wait.

I got to wait. Okay, I'm just going to, you guys talk, I'm just going to be Zen. So this Davis Funerals Home ad that I've been It tells me what happened this week in 1990 Okay But this is at the very verge of me being able to remember God, the social media's on fire, isn't it? One of the things that happened this week in 1990 was that Sky launched

Oh, really? I think I, I don't remember I remember my grandparents getting it pretty early And it was pretty awesome going to my grandparents' house and getting to watch eight channels rather than three. Oh, we never had Sky growing up. We had to go to our rich friend's house. Yeah.

Yeah, we never had Sky. When does it tell me my resting heart rate? It should be telling you now. Does it say current? It says resting. Yeah. Oh, scroll up. Oh, yeah, I'm 54.

Is that good? That's great. Is that the same as you? What was yours? That's even lower. Oh, yeah, I'm 54. Is that good? That's great. Is that the same as you? What was yours? That's even lower. Oh, yeah. You're an athlete, too. I win. I win.

We athletes. I think so. Oh, my God, great. I want an Apple Watch now. Oh, God. So I can hear about your heart rate. Pretty addictive stuff. And then when Ross tells us we have to do something.

I closed all my circles. Vaughn will be like, oh, my heart rate's gone up. I'm stressed. That was a minute ago. No, the best thing on it is the decibel. It tells you when you're in a loud environment. Yeah, this is Vaughn. Everyone else at Friday Jams is having an amazing time.

This is Vaughn. Oh, look at the decibels. We can't be exposed to this level for too long, guys. We could sustain permanent hearing loss. I'm at 56. Look at my stress. My heart rate's gone up i'm in amongst this crowd i'm really stressed 57 i think i just got stressed because i was like

thinking you're thinking about on the show i have to save the time and then press this button the noise so stressful 54 54. this is fun i know i want an apple watch yeah yeah yeah and it maps throughout the day. Okay. So Megan's at one o'clock with Spike during her one o'clock Jonas. And do you know what else? Your pedometer would think that you were walking too. She was taking very short steps.

Very short, quick steps. Vaughn, you are so inappropriate. Oh my God. I just went up to like nearly 60. Every time you laugh, you have a mini heart attack. Oh, no, I'm 76 now. Oh, my God, I laugh. Okay, I've got to calm down.

I want to have a heart attack. Relax, relax. Use the breathing app. It tells you when to breathe. But when do you have a, what's your BPM heart attack level? Because if you're going hard out running, wouldn't you be at 100 and something? I got mine up to 178. That's bad, eh?

Is that bad? I don't know. Is it? It is now because when you're young, that's all good. You start getting nice.

Nice. Stop. This is great. I'm going to get an Apple Watch. What do I don't? From the ZM Think Tank,

this is the Top 6. Hi there. Today's Top 6 watch. Please don't. From the ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hi there. Today's top six is dealing with this neat little nostalgic trip down memory

lane. But I already said nostalgic, so I guess that kind of took care of it. Didn't need to say memory lane.

But McDonald's is bringing back some of the retro Happy Meal toys that were very popular. Okay. The list includes surprise Happy Meals from November 21st.

Today. Is that today? Yeah. Just have to go back to the main screen of my Apple Watch. What was your heart rate? Oh, God. Heart rate right now. It's mainstream.

It had gone up because I was dancing to Normani. Yeah, available from today. Include the Cowboy McNugget, the Fireman McNugget, the Mail Carrier McNugget. They came as a group. They were like McNuggets doing jobs in 1988, apparently. Right, okay. There's a hamburger changeable from 1989.

They had to call it a changeable because Transformers was a copyrighted property. Grimace, just a property. Grimace. Just a collectible Grimace. Retro. A little bit of time for Grimace. Because the New Plymouth McDonald's growing up until like maybe, I forget when they had a Reno,

but they always used to have all the toys in the cabinets. Greenwood Street McDonald's in Hamilton was the same. And literally from like when they started, there was just so many of them. It was cool. And one of the fun parts about going is that you'd look at all the Happy Meal toys and say which ones you had. My cousins had a hell of a collection of Happy Meal toys.

I think the last Happy Meal toy I had was a Minion like two years ago. Probably would have been. They did Minions. Probably would have been. You wound it up and they did a dive. Anyway, carry on. Did it do a jump? Yeah. I always like to wind up things that Anyway carry on Did it do a jump? Yeah

I always like to wind up Thing that jumps Yeah it's a great one It's simple but effective So the top six other toys From the 1980s That they could pop into a Happy Meal Number six on the list

Matches Okay Oh god didn't we have some fun Lighting some things with matches When we were kids Flicking them Yeah And they go

Land in some dry grass And then you'd run over And stomp it in your jandals have some fun lighting some things with latches when we were kids. Flicking them. Yeah. And they go. Land in some dry grass and then you'd run over and stomp it in your jandals and they'd start melting to your feet. The 80s. Number five on the list of the top six 80s toys that could pop into a Happy Meal are some quite sharp knives. Not really sharp. Yep. Just quite sharp.

Okay. Play lightsabers with those. I'm Darth Vader. Mom, Phillips cut my finger off again. Ma'am, I'm bleeding profusely. Ma'am, why did you let us play with knives? Oh, they weren't the good knives. They were just the old knives.

Number four on the list of the top six 80s toys that you could pop into a Happy Meal box. Number four, a very pokey stick. Okay. Loved poking things with a stick,

didn't we, in the 80s? Dead animals we found on the side of the road. Ever poke a bit of roadkill? No, I don't think I did. I don't know if a pokey stick

is going to fit in a Happy Meal bag, to be honest, but okay. You could fold it. Yeah, right. Sticks, of course, well known for their ability to fold. Number three on the list of the top six 80 stories that could pop into a Happy Meal.

Dad's old razor. Did you ever get into your dad's old razor in the bathroom and pretend to have a shave? No. Didn't you? Nah. Dad's always had an electric shaver. Had he? Yeah.

But did you ever get that on? Oh, I think maybe, yeah. I just used mum's actual razor on my legs. And was there a mess? Yeah. Yeah, quite a cutty mess, eh? Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six 80s toys you could pop into a Happy Meal,

some asbestos roofing. Sounds great. Yeah. That's what we used to climb on the pigsty roof And kick holes in it And that's probably why one day I'll have to have my feet amputated Because you've got foot cancer

Because I've got the foot cancer From the espresso roofing That we were climbing on in bare feet And number one on the list Of the top six 80s toys That could pop into a Happy Meal Some meths Not meth-a

Meth-sa The purple liquid That you can light on fire and you'd make like homemade hot air balloons or... Man, you're a shitbag when you're a kid. The shenanigans. We're lucky we weren't more... I mean, there were some serious injuries, but we're lucky no one died.

We're really lucky no one died. That is today's top six. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. This is so embarrassing. A Democratic congressman was doing a live interview on TV and it was a serious topic.

They're talking about the impeachment hearings. Yeah, that's more hearings going down this morning. Explosive testimony. Yeah. So the congressman, the camera is on the congressman when this embarrassing moment happens. I've got the audio.

Shall I play this? This sounds fake, but it's not. Chris, so far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from Republicans.

So that is a fart live on television. Should we hear that again? So it's when he responds. Chris, so far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. Wow. So the thing is, he pauses. He looks at the camera. He makes an uncomfortable... And carries on.

Yeah, he's squeezed it out. He is squeezing it out. But the old guy that throws to him would have a live mic and he looked more the farty type before they got to that. Because you know old mates can't really control it, don't they? No, I don't think they can't control it.

It's just they don't care anymore. And you're just thinking it's unfortunate pause on the congressman's part. Maybe he started to hear the start of it, the rumbling of it. The excuses have come out saying, oh no, it wasn't. It was the sound of a coffee cup

going across the desk or something. That was an excuse from MSNBC where the clip was. And I was like, that's not. Coffee cup? Yeah, I mean, have a listen. Like a paper cup. So far, the evidence is uncontradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election.

Contradicted that the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. It's just weird, the pause, though. He makes squeezing out. He looks at the camera. He looks at the camera. When he does it, it's a fart. To be fair, though, if he did do that, he pauses, gets it out, and he would have heard how loud it was.

He carried on like a champ. His continued train of thought. I would have lost my train of thought completely. Wouldn't have been able to carry on with a straight face. There are polls, lots of internet memes, but there's polls

to one who in fact did the fart. Very close. 51% think it's the congressman though. So 49% think it's the other guy. Yeah.

Right. It's one of them. One of them is lying. Somebody ripped. Yeah. We were wondering this morning in the most highbrow content we've done lately.

Or either maybe. This could be the highest brow content ever. This could be up there with some very important scientific research papers. This will go down in the annals of time.

Bad choice of words. Two L's. Or two A's. Two N's. Yeah. It's spelled differently, isn't it? Yeah.

But Clive, I see what you're doing there. The worst time that you've tooted. Yeah, like you're embarrassing fart moments. Are we calling them toots? Is that a range of things? Is that classier? Is that? Toots, farts, blow-offs.

Okay, when you've had an embarrassing... Did you ever do them at school? I had one. I had school on those hard plastic chairs. That's something that stays with you because it claps its way out, but then it claps its way on the chair as well. I did a little dainty one on the gym wood floor. But as soon as it's on the wood, it kind of blinks. But I blamed it on someone else.

I think I got away with it. But it's those times when you're doing something, it's like the live TV appearance or you're speaking or everybody is quiet. Yeah. And then this happens. Yeah. Because that happened at a funeral, didn't it?

We talked about that just a couple of weeks ago. Anya was at the funeral. Yeah, Mavis let one rip. Mavis let a couple rip, didn't she? Yeah, and Mavis had no idea. I've done that. You know when you're at the gym on the cross trainer or the treadmill, you've got your headphones on, you think you're silent?

You just don't even think about it and you just let out a little toot. And then the person next to you just looks over. You're like, that was not silent. I think that's one of the reasons they cranked the music so loud in gyms though, right? Yeah, to hide the protein farts. But then also the smell of the protein farts

worse than the sound of the protein farts. Very highbrow this morning, but we want to know your embarrassing fart moments, like the fart live on TV. 0800DARZATM.

So this happened live on

American TV yesterday. So far the evidence is uncontradicted that the President used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat an election. And the complaint that I've heard from Republicans. That was a fart live on the news. Perfectly paused.

And nobody's owning up to it. Great timing. A lot of excuses. Great timing. Brilliant timing. So we want to know your maybe best or worst timed farts. Yeah, maybe you've had

an embarrassing... It's getting towards the end of the year. Everybody's... You know. We're scraping the barrel for content. Yeah.

What are you doing that's so great, eh? Sitting there judging, like, what are you doing today that's making the world a better place? You know? Let us have our fart chat. We are hearing from a lot of people who've had these embarrassing moments. Hayley, good morning. What happened?

Good morning. Good morning. We were in Briscoe's, me and my mum, and they have those toys and they have the sale items and the little light flashing. And the person that was talking on the microphone was just about to talk when my mum started. She'd been holding it back for a while, but as she started it, it went over the microphone. So this person's about to, what do they call that? Spruik?

Spruik. Spruik. Okay. Hey, welcome to Briscoe's. Come on down. We've got ourselves some sheets down here and some pillowcases. But they hold the microphone down

when they turn it on and your mum farted into a microphone. That's good timing. Great timing. And what did the Briscoe's person say? They just smiled at us and mum was mortified.

She thought I'd spit her up. She was just like, oh my god. No, that's good. Brilliant. Hayley, thanks. You call some text messages. I'm a physio. I was teaching a patient to do a box jump as part of their rehab. Oh no. Coming down into the end of the squat where my body

betrayed me, the fart was long and it was loud. And I couldn't keep eye contact. But that's the thing. You're not doing a proper squat until the butthole pops. Exactly. That's how you know you've reached the bottom of your squat. Yeah. You'll get a little bit of a whee.

Oh, that's embarrassing. Somebody said a few teachers messaging and I'm a teacher. I just fart whenever I need to. The kids have never heard it and I'll just blame one of the kids if it smells because kids are smelly. It's a victimless crime. It is, yeah.

One time we were walking in a line to assembly. They were following me. I very quietly farted. It wafted back over the whole class and they were like, ooh, the teacher farted. The teacher farted. I turned around and said,

I did not fart. Who farted? I just blamed the kid at the front of the line and they took the blame. They could have years of trauma over that embarrassment. From the farty kid. They'll never be allowed to walk at the front of the line with those hairs ever again. I was at the gym doing a heavy leg press, full of confidence as my leg took the full weight

and down I went, only to release the loudest fart of my life. Instantly traumatised. I couldn't run away because I was, and I couldn't get back up because I was so embarrassed. I was stuck there. In a farting position. You've got to act like nothing happened. Like, I didn't hear that.

What? It wasn't me. I'm a massage therapist. I let one rip by accident when I was giving someone a massage. It was so loud, it woke them up as they'd been asleep. And they were like, oh, was that me? And I said, yeah, but don't worry about it. It happens to a lot of people.

Have you ever had a massage and you need a fart because they're pressing and they're like, yeah. Do not fart. Do not fart. Yes. Because, yeah, that would be horrible. How many people fall asleep, though, and probably fart? Because I've fallen asleep during a massage.

You definitely fart. That's the thing. If I was doing a massage and someone fell? Because I've fallen asleep during a massage. You definitely fart. That's the thing. If I was doing a massage and someone fell asleep, I'd be like, sweet, break time. I'd sit down. Yeah. And then at the end, five minutes to go, just wake them up. Yeah, rub your shoulders.

Okay, done. These are two people who have never put children to sleep by like tickling them because the minute you stop tickling them, they're like, why have you stopped? They wake up. I reckon if you were getting a massage. You tickle your kids to go to sleep. When they're young and you're like, just go to sleep.

They're like, I need tickles. So you tickle them. Right. And they fall asleep. And then the minute you're like, you take your fingers off. They're like, why have you stopped? And that's when you say, shut up and go to bed. Kids are so needy.

Just shut the door and let them cry to sleep. Someone said I was doing a 6 a.m. spin class. And when it got to the hill section, the person taking the spin class cuts the music down and is like, I want to hear you guys grunt. And that split second of, I want to hear you guys grunt, I let out a massive fart. And everyone heard it and they literally said,

not quite what I was after. Brilliant. Not quite what I was after. 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. Nerf or nothing, our great Nerf search is coming up at 8 o'clock. $500 up for grabs. Plus, we've got a limited edition Nerf product for you to take home. Ow! That got me in the nipple. Fletch. Don't be bloody stupid, please.

That's the one we're giving away today. You've got the Revoltonator. Yeah, listen to this. Oh. This is the zombie one. This is for the zombies. Okay. Okay.

Big kids in the studio. Yeah. And you, study has been done. This is in the University of Louisville or Louisville? Louisville, I think they say, yeah. Louisville. Louisville. And Georgia State University.

So this is an American study. It has looked into the effect that Uber has on drinking in these places. Okay. So they have found that on average, there is a 3% increase in the number of drinking days per month and a 5% increase in the maximum number of drinks people consumed. This is in cities where Uber is available. So they're drinking more days and they're

drinking more drinks. But people aren't drink driving, they're Ubering. So that is another correlation. In places where there is hardly any public transport, they see that there is an 18 to 22 percent increase

in binge drinking in these cities. So now that they've got a way of getting home, they're like, yeah, it's happening. Wow. But like you said, Uber has had a positive impact on drunk driving instances. So we're drinking more, but we're getting home safely. Well, then what's the problem? Well, I mean, it's not great for your health, is it? Oh, because we're drinking more.

Yeah, right, okay. Yeah, you're getting boozed a lot more. But yeah, this is an American study. I don't know if it's different in New Zealand because we just have always been really good at binge drinking. I feel like we do, as a country, we binge. We're one of the highest binge drinking cultures, aren't we? Us, the British.

Because you go to America and people just stop drinking. Yeah, they do. And then you're the drunkest one there and you're like, how has this happened? Yeah. Why has everyone stopped drinking? And like when you go to Oktoberfest, the Germans tell you not to go to the New Zealand

and Aussie tent because it's a mess. Because we're the absolute. They're like, oh dear. Yeah, we've got a problem. Yeah. And they tell you that you should eat. They're like, you should eat something. You're having a drink.

You're like, yeah, okay. That seems sensible. Irish girls are the worst at... Binge drinking. Binge drinking. Have you just Googled? Yeah, I Googled the worst nations for binge drinking and Ireland is up there.

Irish females? Denmark, Finland, Ireland and New Zealand. So we're fourth. Not a good list to be on. That one. Great list to be on. Yeah. All right.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Absolutely discovered a Nerf dancer studio. That was fun. Your chance to win the great Nerf search coming up just before the news at 8 o'clock. $500 cash up for Graves and a limited edition Nerf as well. Now the Consumer NZ have done another test of New Zealand sunscreens.

When they did this last time, in 2018, four of the 19 sunscreens tested met their SPF label claims. Four? Only four. So this year they've tested 20 and out of those, nine. Oh, that's a little bit better. But that's almost half.

That's almost half of New Zealand sunscreens tested don't live up to the claims on the label. Now that doesn't mean that they won't protect you. It just means that if they claim, for example, to be SPF 30, they might be something like 20. So to be safe, you need to reapply maybe more often than you think. Yeah, but also that shits you, right? Because sunscreen is so expensive.

So expensive. It's so expensive. And you pay more for a higher SPF. You do. Yeah. Yeah. So going through the Cancer Society sunscreen, SPF 50 plus was among those that didn't make the cut

after it was found to provide a maximum SPF 20 units less than it claimed to be. Yeah, so to be 50 plus, you have to get SPF 60 at least, but that was coming at a maximum of SPF 30. Now, this was tested at two different labs, and I believe if we go to the news desk in Ternania, that is this the one that's been recalled this morning after the study? Yeah, so they've said that they tested it independently earlier in the year,

and it was fine. So they're going to recall the batch, but they're confident that it was just a slip-up. Right. Tested at two different labs, though. That's, I mean, you can't be having slip-ups when you're saying you're providing SPF 50. That's not what the slip and slip-slip-slap

stands for. No. Slip-ups. That is not what that stands for. It's not. Slip on a shirt, in case you're wondering. The brands that passed the test, so once to keep an eye out for, there's a few here I have never heard of before. La Roche-Posay Anthiolias. Oh, she's got a line.

Wait a minute. Are you making up brands and songs? La Roche-Posay. No, you're not saying it right. Show me what that says. La Roche-Posay. Anthios XL. It's not a Z, it's an S. Posay.

Antholius XL Ultralight Fluid. La Roche-Posay. Extralight Fluid SPF 50+. Now, they did it. They measured up to what they said they were. Okay, and what other ones passed? Neutrogena. That's the one I use on my face because it just says face.

Oh, Trish here, dry touch sunscreen lotion. That's so wordy. Nivea sun-protecting moisture-moisturising sunscreen lotion. That's okay. Okay, what was that? That's SPF 50 plus. Okay. It met its claims.

Smart 365 sun sunscreen lotion. Okay, yeah, that's good. Oasis sun sport PA 4 pluses. Met its claim. Smart 365 Sun sunscreen lotion. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Oasis Sun Sport PA+++. That Oasis one is when I've been to the Skin Institute and to off and on, they give you some Oasis. Okay, right. Do you?

Yeah. And they know their stuff, don't they? It's a very good one. Badger Sport Uncentred Natural Mineral Sunscreen Cream. Okay. My Sunshineeral Sunscreen Cream. Okay. My Sunshine Natural Sunscreen. So these are all ones that passed? These are the ones that said I'm SPF 30, and they were,

and Solzinc Natural Sun Protection 30+. It should be no surprise if I look down the list of brands that failed to meet their claims. Banana Boat. So these ones were the ones that claimed to be SPF 50+, and these sunscreens came in anywhere between 20 and

26. See it's like less than half of what they're claiming on the bottle and they're charging you the premium. 50 plus they have to be SPF 60. Good lord. Yeah. So what though, big brands there that claim to be SPF 50,

SunSense Ultra, Banana Boat Dry Balanced Sunscreen Lotion and Marine Blue Australia Dry Touch. Those are the ones that came in between 20 and 26 when they were saying they were 50 plus. Right.

So still giving some sun protection but not a lot. Do they get in trouble for that? Or are they just telling us? It's a Consumer's Guarantee Act thing, right? Right. If you're claiming to be one thing but you're not measuring up to it.

Yeah, what, do you take a picture of your sunburn and ask for them to refund you your aloe vera lotion? It's different when you don't get, like, any goody gumdrops, lollies in your ice cream. But this is, like, people's, like, health. Actually, that's a very serious issue too, actually. No, but that's, Megan raises a great point. If you bought an ice cream and there were no lollies in it,

you'd be straight back to the supermarket, wouldn't you? Yeah. But then you can prove that, can't you? Because you can be like, here's the container. There's no lollies in it. If the Goody Gumdrop said now worth 50 plus lollies, but there were only 26 lollies, you would have grounds. Yeah. 50 plus lollies but there were only 26 lollies you would have grounds yeah everything on the show

seems to come back to lollies in some way I love lollies it's relatable if you talk about anything for long enough it draws back to like

yummy treats it does ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast for the night Stan Walker ZM oh my god

I'm so sorry Stan Fletch, Vaughan and Megan it's nine minutes away From eight Don't do that An order has been made This is a Megan Papadopoulos

Bulk buy Bing bing Bing bing Bulk buy Usually it's Fletch That does the bulk buying I know Actually I've nearly

Got to do another I've nearly gone through All my hats That I got bulk buy How often are you Going through hats You're going through Too many hats then No I go through Lots of hats What are you going through hats? You're going through too many hats then?

No, I go through lots of hats. What are you doing to them? I don't know. They just get sun on them and heat, sweat. That's very wasteful. We use them every day. That was eight years ago. Bourne's had that one hat forever.

No, I keep buying new hats. Oh, do you? You've got to buy new hats, Megan. You don't understand. You're not a hat person. Yeah. You go through hats. I mean, I'll get manky otherwise.

I've actually got a tear. Oh, this is a Timberwolves hat. This is a bit different to my Bucks hat. My Milwaukee Bucks hat. You've got good hats and then like going out hats, hey? I've got a really dirty farm hat. Yeah, that's for when it's going to be dirty. I've got a general round the house hat and I've got this hat.

So you guys should be honest. I wear my good hat to work. You do wear your good hat to work. But I'm about to do a bulk buy of that. I just did my bulk body wash the other day. Get a big five litre thing and fill it up.

That's fun. Why don't you try a different colour hat? Nah, this is the only hat that fits. Instead of your insipid blue. Insipid blue. I'm not sure if it's blue or grey. Blue or grey. I don't know.

What's a blue grey? It's a blue grey. Yeah, carry on. So yeah, I made a bulk purchase. I'm not prepared to sit here and take shit from you two, okay? From a bulk purchaser. Well, why don't you tell everybody

what you bulk ordered? I bought 50 metres of matte black wrapping paper. If Megan's wrapping paper was taped down at one end and rolled out, it would go the length of an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Okay. Wow.

Because I was wanting to know how much 50 metres was. Now I've got a good image in my head. Yeah. Or half a rugby field. Oh, my God. You'd be up to the halfway line of a rugby field. No, but to be fair, I wrap everything in the one paper. Do you reckon you'll get through it?

Probably. Because if you buy like boxes, how wide is it? Like your standard sort of wrapping paper width? A metre. It is a metre on a box,

wouldn't you? At least. But you're not wrapping 50 presents. No, but I've got a few. Could be. Now, for those that missed the chat

what a week or so ago, you were all wanting to order a wax stamp. Yeah. Because you go all out with you. All your presents have to be wrapped matching. Yeah. So my theme this year, and it's controversial because I know it's Christmas

and it's supposed to be festive. I've gone black on black on black. So it's matte black paper, which I finally found. Good Lord, so hard to find black paper at Christmas. Because it's grim. Oh, good Lord. What a first word problem. I had to get it shipped from Wellington, guys.

So I found it, 50 metres of it. And then I've got black string, also very hard to find. Black, I don't think I've ever seen black string. Yeah. It's that spotlight. What kind of string is it? Like a hemp twine, actually. Yeah, like a twine.

A black hemp twine. Okay. Love a twine. Love a twine. And then you might remember I was talking about my wax stamp. So many people gave me cheaper options to buy a wax stamp. So you'll be pleased to know I got a stamp for like $12. And I've bought black wax.

What did you end up getting on the stamp? The P for Papas? Yeah, I bought like a Gothic P. So the wrapping paper will be black, then it'll have the hemp twine around it, and then it's going to have a wax stamp holding it there. What colour's the wax? Black. It's going to look like the Add twine around it, and then it's going to have a wax stamp holding it there. What colour's the wax? Black.

It's going to look like the Addams Family Christmas tree, isn't it? And then I'm going to write in calligraphy, so it'll probably be like, born! It'll be like, not quite. Oh my god, are we getting presents? No, I was just using it as a name example. It is a wonderful name to write in a calligraphy. But I'm going to attempt, because when I said to my husband that I was going to get all the name tags printed, he also said, like,

you've worn that, That was bloody stupid. That is bloody stupid. So I've got a calligraphy pen. It would be literally cheaper to buy a printer and print them at your own house than to get them printed. Printers are quite cheap. Yeah. That's an option.

But what are you going to do with your other 40 metres of wrapping once you've used it? Well, no, that'll be birthday presents then. Everyone will get their birthday presents in black paper. God, really going back to your gothic roots. Amy Lee Evanescence over here. She's ready to go for Christmas. You know that's a sore spot. Your gothic phase.

Okay, some text messages in. Effing brilliant. Where's your matte black paper from? I simply must know. Okay, I'll tell you. Do you want me to tell you on air? It'll save you free advertising. We should charge them. It's from

Packaging Products. It's a Wellington company. There you go. I've got lots of different colours. Packaging Products. Shut up. That was a trick. I now have the details to see how much it cost her. Products. Don't do that.

Didn't you say it was $30? Yeah, it was $30. It was $30. Oh, shit. Megan, how much? You know you can go to Kmart. No, but if I bought like six rolls of paper, it would be like $30. You can go to Kmart or the warehouse and they have little cute patterns of like Santa and Christmas trees on it

and you wrap them in that. I saw some Star Wars wrapping paper yesterday. That won't be $2 a roll though because George Locus will need some kickback from that or Disney. It was $30. Black wrap, solid print, 500 millimetres by 50 metres. Yeah. Oh, how much was it?

How many? You only bought one roll? Yeah. $35? Told you. Oh, I thought. And then I had to add on shipping and stuff. Oh, how much was it? You only bought one roll? Yeah. $35? Told you. And then I had to add on shipping and stuff. Oh, right. Turns out shipping was quite a bit because it's a big roll.

It's a big roll. It is. It's a monstrous roll. It's basically a tree trunk, Megan. It's 50 metres of paper. Yeah. Flesh Fauna Megan, the podcast. ZM.

This is really sweet. A guy by the name of Gene, he's from Whanganui, he lost his love. And so he decided, I don't know if he had and had, he doesn't have Facebook. Right. Because that's how most of us would do our... Stalking.

I was going to say searching. Yeah, it's stalking. But he put out an ad in the newspaper to try and find his lost love. Wow. The ad in the newspaper. I'll say her name because... Okay, what's out there now? Be nice to these people, please.

It says... Yeah, because the internet's a mean place. Looking for Leah Spicer. I've loved you since I met you at high school in Whanganui and will always. You are my yellow rose, my heart and my all. Love always, Jean P. I like how he puts her whole name out there, but not his full name. Nobody needs to find her.

He can't be like. Yeah, true. He can't just put Leah S because that could be anyone. True. Also, it's just he didn't go to the paper first. Just found his status from August the 24th, 2018. So this is on Facebook. He had tried.

Oh, so he did try on Facebook. It was 2018 that he put a status up on his Facebook. Does it say how long ago they met? They were in high school. So, but it would have been a while ago because he's, is he a bit of an older mate? Okay, 1982. 82. Okay.

Wow. So he said, before you like laugh and give Jane crap about this, he said when his brother died of cancer two years ago, his brother said to him, don't leave with any regrets. And Leah was his biggest regret because he's just always loved her. So he's like, do you know what? I'm going to try and find her. He has found her.

Due to the internet, due to the fact that this went viral, he has found her. And he said, as far as I'm concerned, this is the closure I needed. Right. So she's what? Already with someone?

Maybe. He said the shoes What do you say The shoes on her foot No That's not a thing No that's not a thing The boots

The boots on the other No that song Doesn't fit That doesn't fit The boots on the other foot That would be somebody That was If that was

Somebody was looking for him Yeah And he wasn't interested The boots in her Court Field Court The balls in her court The balls in her court There? Field? Court? The balls in her court!

The balls in her court. There you go. We got there. But he also said, and due to the amount of shit that I'm getting on Facebook, and possibly she may be getting, which I was not trying to do to her, I'm willing to let it go.

I wish the idiots on Facebook wouldn't be so negative about life. He was just putting it out there that he'd always loved this person and he wanted to find her. Do we know if this Leah woman is in a relationship already? Is she like happily married? I don't know.

I don't know. I really want to hear her side of things. Like if she's just like, oh, I didn't even know this was a thing. Imagine if she was like, don't remember him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hope she remembers him at least.

I hope she remembers him at least. Or I remember this wildly differently. Yeah, but they must have had a connection like at high school back in the day. Yeah. Wow. You'd hope so. We asked on our Instagram, we ran a quick poll,

have you ever had, you know, the one that got away? And 40%, 40% of people said, yep, they have someone in their life that is the one that got away. And 40%, 40% of people said, yep, they have someone in their life that is the one that got away. That breaks my heart. That they are not with right now that they want to be with. But does that mean that they're single? Or that they're always thinking about it? But they're single, right?

No, that doesn't mean. Because you can't be like the person, I had one that got away, but I'm currently married. But I'm with a new person. Because this person will just do. Meaning if they breathed back into town, I'd be down for it. Well, that quite often happens, doesn't it? But you always remember the first love fondly.

That doesn't mean that it would still work out these days, you know? Well, it's kind of rose-tinted glasses, isn't it? It's looking back on, you know, fond memories. But then, yeah, they could have changed. They might not be the same person. Yeah. But 40%, that's a long time. Do you have one that got away, Fletch?

No. Do you? No, because you hunt them all down. She just absolutely set me up to roast me there. Stalks them like prey. She set me up to roast me. Like they are a... What about you, Vaughn? Nah.

Most of them made it very clear on their way away from me, Megan, that they had nothing more to do with it. So that's fine. They spelled it out. It hurt at the time, but I'm glad that they dealt that blow. Well, it is because it is quite romantic. That's really sweet. Let's take some calls.

If you're listening now, do you have the one that got away? We don't need their name or anything, but maybe just tell us the story. Or maybe you even, after a long time, you tracked them down and now you're together. That would be a cool story to hear. Or maybe after a long time, you found them and they wanted nothing to do with you and didn't even remember your name. I don't know. I should love that version.

Well, I'd find both like slash romantic slash funny. 0800-DARLS-IT-M 9696. Give us a call or text us now. Do you have the one that got away? Talking this morning about the one that got away, so we ran a quick poll on our Instagram. 40% of people said, yeah, they have the person, that one love that got away, And they're out there somewhere.

And they're still pining for them in some way. I don't know, every day or just every now and again. That doesn't mean that it will work out, you know? No. Sometimes you might get back together and be like, oh, that was better in my mind. True. Yeah. Somebody messaged and said their mum has just rekindled her love with her high school sweetheart.

They haven't seen each other since high school, and they're about to move in together at Christmas. Oh, that's lovely. So, surprisingly, we are only hearing from the people that found and tracked down the one that got away. I mean, we're getting our text message, but, I mean, people just don't want to talk about it. I guess it's too hard.

They don't want to ring up and talk about it on the air because they text message in things like, I'm happily married for now, but the one that got away is still out there. We'll get together one day when our partners are gone. Timing has just never been right so far. What the hell is that? Some people get married because it'll do.

Don't they, Megan, the first one? What? So much. He said that. I didn't say that. Such an expensive. It'll do. It'll do.

All right. Let's take some calls. Natalie, did you have the one that got away? Well, so we got together when we were like 14. Yeah.

Dated this guy in high school and left him for an a-hole. Okay. That's always the way in high school. They want the bad boy or whatever. Yeah. left him for an a-hole. That's always the way at high school. They want the bad boy or whatever. Then when I got out of that relationship, he was in a relationship. And then we met a few years later, he was out of the relationship

and I had just recently left a relationship. We talked about it. I said, you were the one that got away. We've been together for over three years now and just bought our first house together. Les, timing's not always on your side. Got back with my first high school boyfriend after not seeing him for 15 years. Often thought of him as the one that got away married now with two kids.

This is so sweet. I was once caring for an older lady, an elderly lady. In the war, she met the one that got away. I'd imagine wartime would have been because pre-internet. Yeah. Pre-fax machine. Yeah. Because you know what fax machines did for modern love.

Pre-tally text. Yeah. She met the one in the war that got away. He went back to America after the war and they moved on. On her 90th birthday he contacted her and he came to New Zealand and they got engaged. I would have been like you left this way too late. This is some notebook-level stuff.

Yeah. Like, the first time you get naked, you're like, this was in a better state. Do you remember in the war, like, when this was ripped? Yeah. Just think about that. Oh, you're not all painting either. This is the war zone now.

Yeah. This is where the bombs were dropped. He knows his way around a war zone. And this is my trench. Oh, no, not trench. That was too far. You crossed the line. What did you do that for?

I've been bloody stupid now. Used to be a very voluptuous trench, but now it's sort of just like rolling hills. Vaughan, we said no to trench. Trench was too far. We went away from trench warfare. What about the one that died? You forgot that one?

Oh, yeah. We didn't get them on the phone. We tried. Probably don't want to talk about it. This is like prepare. Get the tissues ready. I missed out on being with the one I love. He died when I decided to take the chance.

Oh, my God. No, like, details on what. It's so sad. Okay, yeah, I'm going to do this. I'm going to take the chance. This is our time, finally. That was somebody else. Literally, a text message just came in.

My one that got away. We always thought later on we'd end up together, but in June this year, he passed away before we had the chance. See, this is a message to everyone who's like, one day. Don't dilly dally. Don't have any regrets. Like Jean said with his original ad placement. So, Caitlin, you rang the person that said that person

died when they... I spoke to her. She was a lovely lady, but obviously it was a bit hard for her to talk about it. But, yeah, unfortunately, about six years ago, he passed away after about 15 years of chasing her. Oh, my God. Oh, no. I know.

So... The one that got away. Yeah. Probably passed away from exhaustion. It's a long time to be chasing someone. That's really upsetting. She's trying to lighten the mood. She's trying to lighten the mood. That's really got me, that one. That's really sad. You're such a romantic, aren't you? Shut up. Oh, I was being

That was a compliment. I wasn't actually roasting you. Oh, he shouldn't have. That's 15 years he was trying to do that. 15 years. Oh, Megan. That's a long time. Oh. Okay, move on.

I love that you just put on all your makeup too. I know. Fact of the day. Sorry, I breathed in and I choked. I'm a bit phlegmy because I was emotional. It's time for... Fact of the Day! Day, day, day, day!

Day! Today's fact of the day is there was a German shepherd dog called Rocky. Okay. Who was a drug sniffing dog for the Italian police force. For the Vicenza. Is that what it's called? Vicenza. Okay.

And he was very well regarded. A great drug sniffing dog. Could sniff them out from ages away. Yes. At the age of three, though, unfortunately, he passed away due to a condition. I know. Sorry. Before, when you were like sad, I was like, this isn't going to help because we're about

to double down. Double down. Sad dog story. Yeah. At the age of three. It was the same age my dog was when he died. The one that ate the rat poison. Bruno, yeah, quick, carry on.

So, Rocky just died of a, not like drug related or, but he had a bounty on his head at one stage. How do you balance that on your head? Well, he's a drug dog and he's very, very skilled. I'd imagine you'd take the wrapper off and put both bits on his head. Do they always? Does the bounty bar always come in two bits? Yeah, it's always in two bits. You don't know why.

It doesn't always break in two bits. I thought it was long versions. Yeah, it annoys me that they do that, but yum. So, yeah, it's like, oh, maybe if we break in two, they're only going to eat one half. Yeah, right. Good one, bounty bar. Good one, bounty.

Good lol there. So, no, he had like a bounty as in if you could end him, you would get a reward from that. Because he was intercepting so much drugs and costing gangs lots and lots of money. So at the age of three, he died. Drug dealers sent a letter of condolence to the Italian police. Oh. Along with a bag of hashish as a final salute to the dog.

Okay. So the note. What? This has reminded me because I think we talked about this last time at some stage last year. Cartels in Colombia put a $7,000 bounty on a drug dog,

a Sombra, a six-year-old German Shepherd. A six-year-old? A six-year-old. And they were just like, this dog is costing us money. Similar situation. But I don't believe that that has, that that happened. So the note from the criminals came with some hashish and some cannabis.

Right. That was the drug that he was particularly fond of sniffing out. Oh, right, okay. And the note said, We are criminals, drug dealers, and criminals, but we also have feelings. A dog cannot have any fault, and what has happened to us is also sorry. Meaning, it's bad that he caught us, but that's not his problem. We may have, you may have thought we had opened a bottle,

but it is not. Like, opened a bottle to celebrate the death of Rocky, but they said that we have not celebrated the death of a dog because a dog doesn't choose what it does. But you're the ones that ordered the killer. Hello, agents, good hunting, and goodbye, Rocky. Aw. So they wrote them a little note afterwards,

kind of also saying we didn't do this and we're not celebrating it because, you know, we love dogs too. That's really sweet. Yeah, but then they went on. Then they went back

to drug dealing and stuff and they caused a whole lot of trouble. But today's fact of the day is a three-year-old drug sniffing dog died and the drug dealer sent a letter of condolence

to its police owners. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. A McDonald's worker has claimed that for 10 years when he worked at McDonald's, he was putting an extra chicken nugget into the 10-pack of nuggets every time, equating to 10% free nuggets.

Yeah. So you'd order a 10-pack and get 11? Yes. What a lovely day that would be. Hence his nickname. McHero. McHero, yeah, with the Robin Hood of McDonald's. Do you even, like, question though, if you got a 10-pack,

would you even count? I don't. No. I wouldn't notice. I wouldn't really notice. Six-pack, you'd count. It would be an easy glance. No, but I usually share.

We usually, like, halve it so you'd know you'd have five. Okay, Hero. And then one left over. Right. And then you'd fight, be like, I've definitely... Are you sharing? Because, Mr. Tor, you'd fight, be like, I've definitely... Are you sharing? Because Mr. Torb, you were like, I don't need any McNuggets. And then Mr. Torb is like, well, I'll buy some.

And then you're like, I'll have some. No, it's just because I didn't think 10, I needed 10. We'd be like, well, like, share a 10-pack. 10's perfect. That's a perfect amount. So he said he did this for two and a half years. He put 11 nuggets into every 10 piece nugget pack. This is in the UK

or America? UK. UK. Also, his face is out to this. He's been identified. Yeah, he put it on Twitter. Would you want to be, I mean, can you still be charged or like if you don't work for them anymore? Would they come after you? I don't know, but he

worked out he owed them about 18001,800 New Zealand dollars. Yeah, I wouldn't have even thought about the fact that that's actually kind of like stealing, you know? Yeah. Well, McDonald's, wouldn't they be onto this? Yeah, well, I mean, they'd be counting the nuggies, wouldn't they?

Stock take. You don't become like a massive nuggie stock take. Nah, they wouldn't be onto that. They wouldn't know there's so many nuggies go through there. It would add up over time. Are you calling BS on this? No, maybe just not every or someone would, there would have been eyebrows

raised. Or do you think that they just have an allowance for spillage? Like there's an allowance. Like if it was twice the amount of nuggets were going through you'd notice, but a tenth. Because you're allowed to, if you're putting them in the packer, you're allowed to just sneak one yourself. So that's the perfect thing to just quickly sneak.

Yeah, you just say, well, I've been dropping them on the floor, sorry. Right. I had to get rid of them. They're in my mouth. So somebody messaged in there, a fast food manager. Yeah. It would go unnoticed. Somebody else said, I used to do this.

I used to do it if I liked the person, if they were polite. When placing their order, if they were nice, I'd sneak them an extra nuggy. If they weren't, I would not sneak them an extra nuggy. Take one away. Yeah. For bad attitude. When I worked in McGill for two years, they'd count the nuggies by the bag of nuggies, not by the nuggy. But then surely they'd know how many nuggies per bag.

No. It would be a rough weight. And there would be fluctuation between. That'd be a huge bag. Yeah. But 10%? Because you've got to think. That's a lot.

I wouldn't notice. Like if you've got 10 bags, that's a whole other bag. Somebody said they recently read the McDonald's goes through 84 million nuggets each year in New Zealand. We love our nuggies, don't Zealand. We love our nuggies, don't we? We love our nuggies. Big fan of nuggies.

We're a shocking, I don't know if other countries do this, but we're a shocking country for getting a combo and then just getting nuggies. On top. As like an extra.

As a side. What's wrong with that? Why are you saying that like it's a bad thing? No, no, no, no, I'm not. Well, I said shocking. They should be the main source of protein maybe.

You don't need anything else. I mean, we're the third fattest nation in the world. I think I'm allowed to say ordering nuggets when you're already ordering a large combo. It's probably a little over the top. But, I mean, instead of a sundae, for example, you get yourself an entree. Yeah.

The entree is the nuggies, and you eat that while you're driving home. And then when you get home, probably the chips as well, because they're going cold, and they're not at home, the burger. Well, I'd say now all the fast food places will be looking over their nugs and keeping an eye on their nugs. Just saying, maybe just reminding staff with a

memo on the staff board saying we're counting. Somebody said when I worked at a fast food outlet, and granted it wasn't a long and lustrous career, I would eat them while I was working. One day I wrote off 27 to waste, but that was

because I'd eaten 27 throughout the day. Even had a drawer for dipping sauce. That's my new favourite hero. That's my new hero. It's like a little drawer. They're like, oh, just get them a plastic fork. Oh, they didn't want a plastic fork. I'll just shut the drawer again. You'd have to be

hidden behind the counter, right? Like, that wouldn't have to play sick four. I'll just shut the door again. You'd have to be hidden behind the counter, right? Like, that wouldn't have been an open... I like to imagine it's one of the ones in the cash register. It's like, okay, $10.50, a 20 ching, and while I'm here, I'll just have a little dip in there because they got rid of the five cent pieces, so I've got this one. That's the nuggy...

That's the dipping sauce area. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, there's great news for the weekend. NIWA, one of our two government weather agencies, I don't know why we have two, but we do, they have said that a shipment of warmth is arriving. A shipment?

A shipment of warmth. A shipment of carrying? Yeah, but it's arriving, but when's it going to clear customs? Because they've got to give it a spray to make sure it's got no painted apple mouth on it. They are saying that this weekend temperatures will soar. So what? It's all coming from Australia.

It sounds like 30s territory. This warmth, yeah. So this weekend, Blenheim, Christchurch and Dunedin will have warm, fine days, 27 and 26 degrees there. Fine weather in North Island bringing temperatures in places like Tomodonui and Rotorua to 28 and 27 degrees. Blenheim could even crack 30 degrees on Sunday. So we're in for 20 degree weather. Other hot spots, Ashburton getting to 27 this weekend,

Hastings 27, Gizzy 26, Tauranga 26. And yeah, that's... Does this mean we're going to have a good stone fruit season? I just immediately went to wines when you said Marlborough. Yeah, Marlborough. And stone fruit. Well, they like it when they have to... I don't know about stone fruit,

but they like it when they have to work for it, the grapes. Did you guys see the insane size of the hail yesterday? I saw the photo. Did you see the photo of the of the hail? Yes. Yesterday I saw the photo, did you see the photo of the egg carton and someone had picked up bits of hail and put them in the egg carton.

Right. And they look like eggs. Humongous. I just saw a video, it's actually the top video on Reddit New Zealand at the moment of the...

Oh, so they invented hail. They invented hail. Reddit. Ah, yep. They had a video of the port at Timaru. Yeah. And the hailstones hitting the water are creating like big splashes, like when you drop rocks into water.

It's so magical, that video. It's insane. Magical to see, terrifying to live through. People in Timaru had like their car windows smashed and like verandas destroyed. It was pretty nuts. But fine weather ahead this weekend.
