ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch Warner-Megan, the podcast.
Thanks, Hania. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Warner-Megan, happy Friday morning.
I just realised that we've got to do Flashback Friday and it's my turn, isn't it?
It's your turn.
It's so hard at the end of the year because we used up all the songs from 2009 and we're
really, I feel like we're scraping by the end of the year.
And anytime it's your turn,
you punish us all with it.
All morning.
Excuse me.
What should I do?
Oh my God.
There's a lot of pressure.
The public backlash is fierce.
Yeah.
Spirited.
It certainly is spirited.
Ferocious.
And if you do it wrong,
much like Prince Andrew,
you'll have to step back
from public duty. Rightly so. And if you do it wrong, much like Prince Andrew, you'll have to step back from public duty.
Rightly so.
And the queen, me, I'll allow it.
Self-appointed queen.
Yeah, yeah.
Megan's more of a Prince Philip type with a couple of her slurs.
Ow!
Sure.
You're definitely the Prince Philip.
I'm not Prince Philip.
Fletch?
No, Fletch.
Let's be honest.
I'm Princess Diana.
I'm no longer Princess. You are the people No, Fletch. Let's be honest. I'm Princess Diana. I'm no longer Princess.
You are the people's princess.
I was.
Oh, shit.
Was I?
Am I?
Was I?
What?
Has anybody watched a new season of The Crown?
I still haven't seen season two.
I've started it.
I still haven't seen season one.
Oh, Christ.
Because I liked season one.
Right, okay.
I've started season three.
There's episode three,, everyone's talking about,
because it was some disaster that happened that I never knew about.
God, it made me cry.
Are they drip feeding it, or did they launch them all at once?
The Welsh.
Was it the mine?
It was the slurry?
Yes.
The slurry pond?
Yeah, that gave way.
Yeah, yeah.
And washed out a village and killed a lot of people.
Well, why is that the royal's fault?
Well, no, no, it's not, but it's how she dealt with it.
It was the queen's response to it.
It's always like a decade and she deals with the major issues.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Put that on the watch list.
Coming up on the show, the Suntory Boss Coffee vending machine in studio
and your chance to unlock prizes.
We'll do that before seven this morning.
Listen up for the activator and the four-digit pin. We'll give you a clue
to that as well coming up soon.
I literally forgot
how to swallow there for a minute.
The spit was in my mouth. I was like,
now what do I do with you? I can't spit you out.
And then I choked on it. Small
explanation as to why for a second there
something bad happened. Yeah.
The top six. A couple got married on Jetstar.
A lot of orange.
Bridesmaids and orange.
The top six things
you can expect
from a Jetstar wedding coming up.
Again.
Alright you lot, listen up. It's story time.
Story time. three news headlines for interesting, quirky, odd, unusual news stories.
And Vaughan and Megan, as always, pick one of the following three headlines.
Headline one, insurance company backtrack.
Headline two, border wall no match for 16-year-old.
And headline three, vice principal resigns
after chicken prank.
Oh, I wouldn't know
what the chicken prank was.
Megan, chicken prank.
I've forgotten
what story number one was.
Insurance company backtrack.
I feel like you could Google
chicken. Yeah, that's what I meant.
You're not allowed to Google.
Insurance company backtrack.
To be honest, it's pretty much that's the story
is that they just had to resign.
They had to resign.
Yeah. Oh, I thought he was
on the receiving end of the chicken prank
and was so disgusted he resigned.
No.
Vice Principal resigns after chicken prank.
I kind of want story number one because I've had that happen to me recently.
You've had an insurance backtrack.
What happened with your backtrack?
Remember someone crashed into our car?
That's right.
And then we got told it was our fault.
And then I had a conversation,
a nice, calm conversation,
and then they went,
oh no, actually it's not your fault.
That's sarcastic because it wasn't a nice, calm conversation, was it?
No.
You unleashed your furosity.
Yeah, in a polite way.
Right.
You know, go ahead.
I've found the chicken prank story.
I don't see why she had to resign
Because
Because it was still the students that did the prank
They set the chickens loose
In the school
So they know it's prank time and it has to be supervised
Pranks have to be supervised but it wasn't
So it's just a ball person
That's so stink
There's really nothing much to that story
Other than that yeah that's so stink. There's really nothing much to that story other than that.
Yeah, that's pretty stink.
Okay, well, we go now to...
Oh, I've got a bloody cookies.
Stupid European websites.
We go now to South Africa,
where insurance companies are notorious for finding any way
out of not being able to pay for a policy,
out of paying for a policy.
In South Africa?
Yeah.
I think that's just worldwide.
That's just worldwide, yeah.
So two women, they tried to collect a relative's life insurance
and try to settle the claim, but the insurance company wasn't having it.
I mean, this person was dead.
I don't know how you get out of paying life insurance.
Yeah.
Well, there might have been a clause in it.
Well, yeah.
So they, this is one of South Africa's most respected insurance companies,
they insisted on confirmation the man had actually died.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, that seems.
Well, you'd get a birth certificate, wouldn't you?
And a death certificate.
Oh, sorry, death, yeah.
The birth certificate, not that great really.
No, no.
And I don't know, maybe that wasn't enough for them.
So the two grieving woman got a couple of shovels
and dragged in a body bag from the boot of their car,
the dead man's body.
Are you kidding?
And they refused to leave the insurance.
I'm not, there's actually a video.
That's good though.
Here's a video, here's good though. Here's a video.
Here's a really blurry video.
Get some.
Photo of the body bag.
It's blue there.
And there are the two women there.
They refused to leave the insurance office until the insurance company saw the dead body
and were...
And paid out.
And paid out and settled on the claim.
And it worked as well.
They were obviously like, okay.
And then they had a couple of men help them maneuver the bag back into the car
and they took the body away.
Would they not get in trouble for that?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
But yeah, there's a video online.
Somebody's...
Oh, they wanted proof.
That's the ultimate proof, isn't it?
Just where was the body supposed to be?
I don't know.
I don't know if they actually...
It's great.
There's a video that goes along with it
and people are just like,
are you dragging in a dead body into an insurance office?
Good lord.
Wow.
But the insurance company paid out.
That's okay.
Just remember that.
Got to do what you got to do.
It's a win for the people.
Yeah.
Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast. Yeah. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
ZM.
In Auckland earlier this week,
Israel and Maria Folau decided to dine at a vegan cafe.
It's called Gorilla Kitchen.
And this is only what last weekend or start of the week, Monday,
he made the comments about the bushfires.
Oh, yeah.
The video surfaced that, yeah, he said the bushfires. Oh yeah, the video surfaced that he said the bushfires
were a result of
homosexuals
and abortions.
If he thinks gay sex
lights a fire, I'd like to see him how he starts a
barbecue.
Steve, Barry,
take your pants off.
You can come over and just bum in front of the barbecue
and hopefully some sparks fly off and land on the charcoal.
That'd be super.
I'll turn on the gas.
You just start going.
But be quick, Steve and Barry, because we don't want a big...
I'll hold a bit of newspaper by it and hopefully that'll start the fire
and then I can light the barbecue.
So they dined at a vegan cafe called Gorilla Kitchen.
Yeah.
And afterwards, Gorilla Kitchen, they said,
we didn't turn them away.
We definitely don't agree with them.
I would have turned them away.
Their politics.
But we love everybody, including the LGBTQI plus community.
And that is why we took the money that they spent at our kitchen
and donated it
to Rainbow Youth.
Oh, I like that.
That's great.
I like that.
Because I was thinking
what would I do
if they turned up
in our place?
And it's like
you shouldn't
they're right
you shouldn't like
hit back their hate
with some more hate
and turn them away.
Well that's
Finding Fire With Fire and we all know how those start. I like what they've done. And you couldn't like do a dump on their food hit back their hate with some more hate and turn them away. Well, that's finding fire with fire.
We all know how those start.
I like what they've done.
And you couldn't do a dump on their food
because then that reflects poorly on your food service, doesn't it?
It does, and your food health rating.
They get a coli and the Ministry of Health tries to backtrack
to find where they got their coli from.
I'm going to lose my perfect rating for them.
It was because you're shitting your eggs, Benny.
It's problematic.
Yeah.
Yeah, but they made that donation.
Yeah, good on them.
Good move from them.
That's awesome.
Yeah, good on them.
Good on them.
I saw somebody saying,
well, that just means they ain't there at your cafe for free then.
Ha ha.
They were like, oh, that's fine.
And they were like, oh.
The internet, eh?
Like, still got to have a go, don't they?
Yeah, yeah.
From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.
Good morning.
A couple have had their wedded bliss aboard a Jetstar flight
between New Zealand and Australia.
Is this a publicity stunt from Jetstar?
Or is this just actually some couple's love for...
Well, he's Australian, David,
and she was a New Zealander, Cathy.
So maybe they did it in between the two countries
because they're from two different countries.
Right.
But then whose country are you getting married in?
Exactly.
International airspace.
They met online in 2011 playing a computer game called Airport City. What country are you getting married in? Exactly. International. Walders. Airspace.
They met online in 2011 playing a computer game called Airport City.
Oh, that sounds fun.
So they, like, this is, this aviation is kind of their buzz.
Right, okay.
The love of aviation is what brought us together, so why not get married?
On a Jetstar flight.
On a Jetstar flight, yeah.
So they got married.
In between the two countries.
Yep.
Celebrating something that they love.
But if you were an aviation nerd, what plane would you want to get married on?
Dreamliner.
8-7-8.
7-8-7. 7-8-7.
I don't know.
I don't know planes.
Yeah, that one where you push the button and the window goes dark.
Yeah, dreamland.
Oh, what about an A380?
Oh, yeah.
What's that?
That's the double-decker Emirates.
Are we going up in the fancy bit?
Yeah, we're going to go up and have the reception in the fancy bar
at the back of Business Class.
Yeah.
Up the spiral steps.
In the back of that Emirates one.
Yeah.
Where they have seatbelts at the bar.
Yeah.
In case of turbulence and I'm drinking my espresso martini.
Exactly.
So they got married on a Jetstar flight.
The top six things to expect from a Jetstar mid-flight wedding.
Okay.
Number six.
Fletch not taking off his noise-cancelling headphones for the ceremony.
Or the safety video.
Or for anything.
They block out everything.
Yeah.
Crying babies, that annoying safety video. All for anything. They block out everything. Yeah. Crying babies,
that annoying safety video,
everything.
But this is somebody's special day.
I also don't know
if that flight
was just full of
friends and family.
Oh, yeah, right.
Or normal people.
And they blocked out
their kind of area.
There would have been
some friends and family, right?
I would have been
a lot of friends and family,
I think.
This ceremony's
hogging the aisle
and you need to get
to the bathroom. For the photos, it looks like it's right up front. Oh, okay, right. Right would have been a lot of friends in family, I think. The ceremony's hogging the aisle and you need to get to the bathroom.
For the photos,
it looks like it's
right up front.
Oh, okay, right.
Right up front of the plane.
Number five on the list
of the top six things
to expect from a Jetstar
mid-flight wedding.
The wedding presents
come out at the
luggage convey about
at the end.
That's pretty cool, actually.
That'd be pretty cool.
That'd be pretty cool, yeah.
Yeah, you just grab them.
Would you grab them all off
and put them on the
luggage trolley or would you grab them one by one and open them and be like, oh Yeah, just grab them. Would you grab them all off and put them on the luggage trolley
or would you grab them one by one and open them
and be like, oh my God, thank you.
One by one and open them and make everyone wait and watch.
Oh my God, that'd be a pain in the ass.
Number four on the list of the top six things to expect
from a Jetstar mid-flight wedding.
You know the part of the ceremony where they say
if anybody has any reason this couple shouldn't be wed,
please press your call button
on the overhead panel
and a flight attendant
will be with you shortly.
Ding!
Which, you know,
it's intrusive though
because of the ding
and then the light.
You definitely know
who's saying
they shouldn't get married.
I don't think
they should say that
at weddings anymore.
They don't.
Because there's always
some smart ass, isn't there?
Yeah, some F wit.
Yeah, I didn't put it
in either of my weddings.
Nah. Why didn't you put it in yours F wit. Yeah, I didn't put it in either of my weddings. Nah.
Why didn't you put it in yours?
She just did.
I didn't think it was, but it was.
Number three on the list of the top six things to expect from a Jetstar mid-flight wedding.
The bride starts her walk down the aisle from the galley at the back.
Yeah.
With the bridal march over the plain PA.
Right.
Bing.
Is it just the flight attendant doing that?
100%. Or the pilot.
Yeah.
If the flight attendants are otherwise occupied. I'll keep going.
Number two on the list of the top six things to expect from a Jetstar mid-flight wedding are not free drinks.
$7 a beer and it's credit card payment only.
Yeah.
Yeesh.
It's going to be an expensive reception.
Phew.
And number one
on the list
of the top six things
to expect from a Jetstar
mid-flight wedding
are your wedding
either running late
or being cancelled
altogether.
But you did only pay
$7 for it
so those are the breaks.
Like don't whinge
about it on Facebook.
This isn't the first time
this has happened to you.
You knew about that.
You knew this was a thing.
But you didn't want
to pay any more
than $7 for the flight
so that's actually on you now.
Yeah.
That's on you.
Didn't you lose a Facebook friend when someone was having a Jetstar whinge
and you told them that they shouldn't?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, they shouldn't have.
It was like the eighth one.
I was just like, no, you need to be told.
Yeah.
That is today's top six.
ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Look, there's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Look, there's a problem.
Another problem has arisen.
And heading into the hot tourism season that is summer in this country of ours,
Roy's Peak is being slammed.
Now, do they call that our most Instagrammable?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing.
It's one of the many.
Wanaka's got more Than it's fair share
It's got the tree
Yep
The tree that grows
In the lake
But then you've also
Got like pictures
Of the Sky Tower
Everyone takes one of those
Yeah
But it's not as exciting
Is it
No it's not
This one's like
Everyone loves a nature gram
The picturesque
Quintessential
New Zealand
When people come here
That's what they think
And there was a
A line though
Wasn't there
Last time there were Reports of people Lying up for ages Yeah That's 100% the case Inter-central New Zealand, when people come here, that's what they think. And there was a line, though, wasn't there?
Last time there were reports of people lining up for ages.
Yeah, that's 100% the case.
And it's a game this year.
So you go up Mount Aspiring Road, apparently,
and then from there you walk.
Someone left at 3am.
They thought they'd be there for sunrise alone, but there was already some 40 other people up there
who wanted a prime spot of the sunrise
as they stand at the end of the...
At 3am?
Yeah.
How long's the walk up there?
16 kilometre return trip.
The five to seven hour,
16 kilometre return trip.
One of the Department of Conservation's
most popular day walks.
Did you say five to seven hours? Yeah.re return trip. One of the Department of Conservation's most popular day walks. Did you just say five to seven hours?
Yeah.
You're done now, eh?
Oh, yeah.
You're not doing that.
That's a lot for me.
But there's people going up there in jandals and stuff.
And, like, no water bottles.
And that's, like, that's a big walk.
Eh?
Well, five hours, that's a full day's work.
God, I'd need some snacks or I'd get very hangry.
I thought it was kind of just a bit of a stroll up a hill.
No, no, no, no.
So 37 vehicle fines are dished out in one day for people parked illegally
because that's the thing.
People just kind of put all over on the side of the road,
but not fully off the road.
Right.
And maybe there's not enough parking because it's too popular.
Is that the problem? That's also a problem. Yeah maybe there's not enough parking because it's too popular yeah the problem that's also a problem yeah there's not enough parking um so from october 2018 to
the end of september 2019 81 000 walkers went up wow yes and all for that instagram eh yep and then
you get there and you've got to line up for like half an hour while everyone takes their grams
no pressure but then good because like you want to recover.
You don't want to be too sweaty and puffy when you get your sexy pic.
Yeah.
At Roy's Peak, you know, so maybe that's good.
But it was shut for a while because of lambing.
Oh, right.
Because you've got to walk up farmland to get there
and they don't want people touching the lambs
and then like some ewes get a bit testy and could give tourists a bunt.
Oh, yeah, right.
That'd be a great story.
A good Kiwi experience.
But it's opened again now.
Right.
And already overrun.
Yeah.
Even if you start heading up there at 3am, there'll already be people up there for a sunrise.
Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast.
ZM. There is a TV commercial
that has garnered
40 complaints
to the Advertising Standards Authority.
Right.
For LMP.
40.
40.
That's quite a few, eh?
I don't think I've seen
an LMP ad.
Oh, really?
Well, I don't really watch.
You'd remember this one.
Oh, I just searched LMP.
I literally typed in L and P.
Yeah.
That says zombie ad. It's the first. It is the zombie ad typed in L&P. It says zombie ad.
It's the first.
It is the zombie ad.
You're right.
Frightening zombie ad attracts 40 complaints.
So the zombie ad is a bunch of friendlish zombies walking around.
But they do.
They have the full makeup on, so they look like zombies.
They're walking around in an apocalyptic New Zealand.
Right.
Just like goofing around,
setting off flares to hone around on wheelie chairs
and, you know, like, doing silly things.
Oh, my God, that sounds fun.
Yeah.
Do you know I've always wanted to let off a fire extinguisher
on an office chair?
Where did they film this?
I don't know.
It looks like it's got an air...
It's got one of those...
I'll stop the ad.
My biggest question is, where's that air bridge?
Oh, that's K Road.
That's the road behind K Road.
Is that behind that iron building?
Cross Street.
Yeah, it is.
The Iron Bank.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
My question was, when I saw this ad, was, that's like a pretty high budget.
So there's a lot of effort for an L&P ad.
And then at the end, it has two zombie mates sitting in a pool and they scare off some real humans.
Right.
And then have a laugh and high five.
And it says refreshingly different.
I also didn't really get it.
But I was like, huh, different for LMP.
So why are people complaining they're scared of the zombies?
Then the complaints came in and people said it was not good for the time slot.
It is most disturbing looking at them.
And I cannot understand why an advert for LMP should find it necessary to make this type of advertisement.
It is a front to anyone looking at it, especially in the dinner household.
The complaint is that it airs before 7pm as well and the other shows that it's on would
be ones that kids watch.
Right.
And that it's very scary.
The ad is repugnant and inappropriate for any age target audience.
Repugnant?
So Coke, obviously, owns L&P.
They defended it saying it was a light-hearted parody of Zomity movies.
Zomity?
Zomity.
Zombie comedy.
Oh, Zomity.
Is it its own thing?
Zomity, yeah.
Like Zombieland. Oh, yeah. Zombie comedy. Okay, zombie. Oh. Is it its own thing? Zombie, yeah. Like zombie land.
Oh, yeah.
I love zombie land.
Zombie comedy.
Okay.
Zombie.
It's its own genre.
I just thought you were massacring.
Yeah, me too.
I'm just reading it right.
So they said they'd taken care to make sure the zombie's appearance
wasn't unnecessarily frightening to cause widespread offence
and the Advertising Standards Authority agreed with them.
Really?
They said, while it may be distasteful to some viewers,
it did not reach the threshold to be considered likely to cause harm
or serious widespread offence.
They agreed with Coke?
Yeah.
Oh, good, because I was going to say.
None of the 40 complaints were upheld.
Oh, brilliant.
Who goes to all that effort to complain like that?
And from the
complaints that I've read, it doesn't say my
child was very disturbed. It said it
could be. So what you're saying is that adults
are scared of zombies.
But kids aren't.
Kids have always lived in a zombie field.
A zombie town.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast. I had a wee
whoopsie daisies at the new mall yesterday.
I went for something unrelated and then when I was there,
I saw that the new David Jones had opened.
Because Wellington's had a David Jones for ages
and David Jones in Australia, whenever you go to Australia
and you go shopping, you're always like,
this mall, this is insane, this department store.
What is that?
Like, it's just got everything.
It's like they've got Myers and David Jones over there
and between the two of them, you've got so much.
Died by Woolworths.
Are they?
Are they?
South African.
Did you know that Woolworths is a South African retail group?
Is it?
I thought it was Australian.
No, it's South African.
Goodness.
They've produced some wonderful things, haven't they?
Like Megan's husband.
And David Jones.
And apartheid. That's some wonderful things, haven't they? Like Megan's husband. And David Jones. And apartheid.
And some terrible things.
Yes, Megan.
And Nelson Mandela.
It's like, we'll balance it out.
Well, don't say he's terrible.
No, I'm saying he's good.
Oh, it's too late now, Megan.
You've sided with the apartheid.
No.
Okay.
So, yeah, I got a little bit lost in David Jones yesterday.
It was the opening yesterday, so you went along.
Apparently there were lines of people.
There was free ice cream, but there was a massive line,
and I was like, oh, do I wait for ice cream?
You're like, yes.
Yes, I do.
I'll come back for that.
Right.
Yeah, and they had carts.
They were giving out lollies out of carts.
Right.
I was like, oh, my God, this is dreamland.
I just Googled David Jones, Auckland.
And you know how it always brings up a Google map and there's like A, B, C.
Yeah.
It's like giving you the locations.
So A is David P.H. Jones QC.
So I can't wait for people to just turn up at this lawyer's office
and think I'm David Jones.
I'm just looking for some bed sheets.
Are you guys still going to David Jones. I'm just looking for some bed sheets. Are you guys still
going to get the
free ice cream?
But I did actually
buy some Christmas
decorations from
David Jones yesterday.
Did you see
Megan's put up
her Christmas tree?
She just showed me
the video.
32 days away
from Christmas
by the way.
But that's the whole point
is like you've got to
get into the spirit of Christmas.
Otherwise, if you wait for Christmas Day and then suddenly it's over,
you're like, oh, it's done, isn't it?
When will we ever do this again?
It's the build-up.
In festivities, that's the enjoyable part.
This is late for you.
You wanted to do this three or four weeks ago.
I know.
I've been busy.
Also, do you need to put a Santa sack up for your stupid little dog?
Excuse me. He's part of
the family. We each get a Christmas stocking.
There's three Christmas stockings. I didn't think Santa
gave to animals.
He gives to Leo.
He's been a very good boy this year.
Didn't he poo all over your
floor and vomit all over your floor?
Oh yeah, but he can't help that.
It's because Vaughn can't put up
50,000 stockings for all your animals.
I haven't thought about the farm animals.
Oh my god, can you please put stockings on the farm fences?
For all the chickens?
Eat them.
Or just put seeds in socks.
Yeah, and then on Christmas Day just hand them all the seeds.
Oh yeah, what about your goats?
You don't talk about them anymore since you've got your cows.
That's so rude.
No, I still talk. No, you don't. You've forgotten about about them anymore since you've got your cows. That's so rude. No, I still talk to them.
No, you don't.
No, you've forgotten about them.
Oh, yeah, they're still there.
Oh, my God.
Harold jumped a fence.
I think he's misbehaving in an attempt to get attention.
Yeah, right.
And Helen, you know how I said that one of her goat boobs was milkable?
Yeah.
They both are now.
Okay, you found that out?
Well, no, because they were both the same size.
Oh, right, okay.
So I just reached around and pulled them.
And they both had milk came out.
Indy and I are just so blown away by this.
We go and check all the time.
We're thinking about making some goat cheese.
Oh, my God.
She said if I milked a cup of goat milk,
she'd drink it.
Who?
Indy. Really? She just didn't think I would, of goat milk, she'd drink it. Who? Indy.
Really?
She just didn't think I would, so.
Probably do that this weekend.
I don't know if you guys caught this yesterday in the news,
but she's actually 26.
Yeah.
Did you see this?
Yeah, so Wiki says she was born in the year 2000.
Everyone's like, how is she only 19?
But then if you go back, was it on her Instagram,
they found pictures from her as a teenager?
And everyone's like, she would have been five.
Yeah.
Doesn't add up.
So it's like one of those Rebel Wilson's.
But do you reckon the music company was like,
oh, no, you can't be 26.
You've got to be 19.
No one will find out.
You can't do that.
I know.
Because everybody she's met in her life till now
has to all be in on this lie.
Yeah, true.
I went to school with Tones and I.
She's 26.
But I don't know,
all these kind of news places have picked up on it,
but she hasn't responded yet.
And the Wikipedia page still says
that she was born in the year 2000.
Yeah, I just looked.
Interesting.
I mean, you know, lying on Tinder is one thing,
but not on your Wikipedia when you're in international music.
Natural stuff.
Yeah.
The world's first male birth control.
We've been talking about this for a while,
what form it would take, whether you guys would do it.
It is set to be released in India soon.
So they've said it is ready to go.
It's about six to seven months away.
Hang on a sec.
Are there side effects?
I'm not, I'm not.
You're not participating.
I'm just trying to wind Megan up.
It's only requiring regulatory.
Regulatory?
Approvals.
Yeah, right, okay.
That's all that's pending,
and then they're going to release it.
Have they rubbed this in an animal's eyes?
Just to make sure. Have they tested it on some Dunedin uni students?
Yes.
You know, because we can't just be all taking this willy-nilly
if it hasn't been...
I think it's been tested thoroughly.
It's not going to make me retain water or anything.
I don't want that.
It's not going to affect my skin.
I can't actually see in this story if it talks about any side effects.
We joke, but we obviously know that, you know,
the female population on birth control have to put up with some horrific side effects.
And you take ages to find the right one that works with your body.
And yes, thank you.
Yeah, but they're paid more than us.
It all balances out.
It all comes out in the wash, mate.
Okay, Megan.
It's Vaughan making these comments, not me.
Just remember that.
Those jokes are all I need for you to actually reference that it's a thing.
That's okay.
Yeah.
So this form of birth control is a polymer,
which is made of long, repeating chains of molecules
and the contraceptive called reversible inhibition of sperm
under guidance is made of a compound called something.
So it turns your sperm lazy.
Yeah.
Right.
Like stoners.
They're like, should we, oh, seems like there's a fire drill.
We're all evacuating.
Or should we just stay here?
Right.
Okay.
Here's the catch.
So it's not a pill.
Here we go.
Okay.
It's not a rod.
It's not a pill. It's not a rod. It's not a rod. It's not a pill.
It's not a rod.
It's not a rod.
It's an injection.
Oh, no.
Not in your arm.
Not in the arm.
Oh, not in the butt.
The injection will go into your vas deferens.
Where's the vas deferens?
So the vas deferens, I've Googled it.
It looks like it's just above the pain.
Just above. Just at the top of... The... The pain. Just above.
Just at the top of it.
Above the pain.
Just at the top of it.
Above the base or the top?
Above the base.
By the fore?
No.
The vas deferens.
Just at the...
It's at the base.
Yeah.
You get an injection in the base of the...
You'd get the injection right there.
Oh, no.
So on the pubis area.
Yeah.
Also... I'm sorry, but you're going to have to keep taking the pill, there. Oh, no, so on the pubis area. Yeah. Also, it says...
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to keep taking the pill, Megan.
It says here...
No guys going in to get an injection in their pain.
So that is the thing that they cut for the...
Vasectomy.
Vasectomy.
Right.
That's why they call it a vasectomy.
Vasectomy, because you're cutting the vas.
It's a vas deferens.
Right, okay.
But it also says that guys will get local anaesthetic
to get it done.
Now, I've never had a rod or anything,
but do you get local,
do you guys out in the producer's booth
get local anaesthetic?
What if you had the rod thingy?
Did you get anaesthetic?
No, I had a marina and no anaesthetic.
It was that sore ass.
Like, so cute.
That's real sweet that they're going to give you the local. It was that sore ass. Like, so cute. That's real sweet
that they're going to
give you the local
cheese.
What is it?
Our cheese?
Or a little jab.
Like, we just get, like,
all these things,
like, hands,
rot,
like, all the stuff
stuck up our vaginas
and we don't get
any local.
Caitlin,
it's 14 past 7.
Calm down.
I'm talking about
for the marina
and the IUD.
It's bloody painful.
But no, don't worry, sweeties.
You guys also do that for pleasure.
I've never had an injection in the penis for pleasure.
I do not put a speculum up there for pleasure.
Absolutely not.
You have no idea.
Other stuff.
Oh, my God.
Don't even start me, sweetheart.
I will come at you.
Even Bleach knows that was a mistake.
I can see Caitlin writing a message to your wife right now.
I was talking to a guy this week who just had a vasectomy
and he said it was a local anesthetic
and it was supposed to take 30 minutes tops from start to end.
He had, according to the doctors, very thick penis tissue.
Does he want you
to be talking about this?
I'm not saying his name.
You can't out your friend
as having a thick penis.
What does that even mean?
It took 90 minutes.
Because they couldn't
get through it.
Yeah, and he kept going,
oh, no, I can feel it.
And they'd be like,
oh, okay,
we'll just put another local in.
And he just said
they just kept jamming
more locals in. And he's like they just kept jamming more locals in.
And he's like,
why is it taking so long?
Because he's got a thick penis.
Am I being punished?
And the doctor looked at him
and said,
you've got very dense penis tissue.
Is that a compliment?
You'd take that as a compliment.
Would you?
Not when you've had a thickie.
Not when you've been lying
on a surgery table for a while.
Stop.
If you're wondering
about getting a VESA,
you'll be fine, mate. It'll probably take two minutes. I don't want them to surgery table for an hour. Stop. If you're wondering about getting a VESA, you'll be fine, mate.
Yours will probably take two minutes.
I don't want them to take the whole thing off.
No one's ever described it as dense.
Do they have a...
God, no.
Pencil fin.
It goes right, the injection will go right through the other side.
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
Do they have that for the surgical tool?
Like a piercing at Amcal.
And then if they accidentally do cut
the whole thing off, can they transplant on a bigger
one? I don't know.
I don't know. That's what when you
take donor on your driver's license, that's what
that's for, eh? And then they get all
20 marks. No, thanks.
What do you mean? Get my
penis. Oh, it's
not getting donated to anything.
The colour alone wouldn't match with anything.
You know when you see a car driving along
and it's got a different coloured door?
Imagine the surgeon.
What colour is it?
Well, I don't know.
Well, I might go into Mitre 10 this weekend
and run it against the Resane colour chart.
Yeah, I was going to imagine the surgeon opens up the drawer
and just matches it to your skin
tone, like the Resin Colour Chart.
Fiordland.
We've got a Lake Tekpo blue here.
It's not blue.
It's not blue.
Next on the show, a couple
of celebrities, if anybody's still listening, a couple
of our celebrity brothers. It's 90 Mile Beach.
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.
We want to talk about why you don't talk to your siblings anymore
because there's famous siblings that have fallen out.
And not only fallen out,
Nick Carter has been granted a one-year restraining order.
This is Backstreet Boys.
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter.
Against his brother Aaron.
Who isn't it?
His brother's gone a bit crazy, isn't he?
Like guns and stuff.
So he's actually had his right to own firearms taken away.
That's something in America. Surrendered.
Yeah. Yeah, the judge said that
he was too dangerous to own weapons.
Aaron Carter, he does
talk about it all. He's come out and said
this is like devastating.
He's saying that his family's fabricated
all these details
but there's a couple of restraining
orders. So Nick Carter has been given
this one year restraining order and then Nick Carter has been given this one-year restraining order.
And then aside from that, there is another one where Nick
and his sister Angel have also got separate restraining orders against him.
This is messy.
How crazy is that?
Like not only are you not talking to your brother, your sister,
but you've also got-
You're not even allowed to go near them.
Yeah, you're not allowed to go near them
because you have a court-ordered restraining order.
Legally, yeah.
That's nuts.
So the question this morning,
is there anybody listening
that doesn't talk to their brother or their sister,
their siblings, and why?
Yeah.
Like, was it one incident?
And you're like, no, I'm not talking to them.
Like, this sounds like stuff went down
and scary if there's guns involved.
But what if it was something really simple?
Like you just had a little argument at Christmas.
Like you're a grown adult and they got a better Christmas present
and you're still sulking.
Like, did you ever do that when you were kids?
You're like, um, mum.
I did that as an adult.
Yeah, my brother's presents definitely worth more than mine, RRP.
This is why my mum spends exactly the same amount of money on everybody.
Does she though?
Always has.
How do you know?
Always receipt proof. You just get all of them the same thing. She would provide rece Does she though? Always has. How do you know?
Always receipt proof.
You just get all of them the same thing.
She would provide receipts if you made a big enough deal.
Really?
Brilliant.
Get them the same thing, different colours.
That's what we got.
Yeah, same.
Yeah.
That's basically what happened.
But I'd definitely get, I'd get salty most Christmases.
I'd be like, his Christmas present's better than me.
You?
Surprise.
I know, isn't that, yeah.
Or you'd count them.
Yeah, but I mean,
I still talk to my brother.
Yeah, same. Maybe just not on Christmas Day.
I'll have to wait till Boxing Day
till I got over it.
So why aren't you talking to your siblings?
0800 DARS at M9696.
Give us a text or a call now
and we'll get to those next.
We want to know why you're not talking
to your siblings this morning.
Nick Carter has got a one-year restraining order against his little brother, Aaron Carter.
He says it's dangerous.
There's a lot going on there.
Yeah.
Probably does need a restraining order, but maybe there was a little fight,
and to this day, you don't talk to your sibling.
We want to know why.
Wow.
I don't speak to my younger brother, reads this text message.
He ran away with my wife and the mother of my two children
he also got a restraining order on me
after I beat his ass
I can kind of see why that happened
then if you beat his ass
but yeah he screwed it off
wow
what kind of brother does that
hmm
wow
hmm
um
about 10 years ago
my brother broke up
with his high school girlfriend
and the next day at school
for a completely separate reason,
her brother and I got into a scrap.
I've been that guy that ruined them getting back together.
Oh.
So they don't talk to me anymore.
For 10 years?
Yeah.
Oh, no, that's the kind of thing you'd look back when you're on your deathbed and go,
oh, that was a bit silly. You should have let that go.
Yeah.
Like it seems a bit silly now.
Jalem, why don't you talk to your sibling?
Well, I had a 21st party last year and I got a key and my older sibling didn't because she chose money over a key.
Right.
Did she pack a sock?
Well, yeah, because I went to go confront her because I heard rumours
and then she ended up calling the cops and then I got a restraining order
and so did my younger sibling.
Well, all because you got a 21st key and she didn't.
Well, she chose money over it.
Cash equivalent.
Vaughan, that's okay.
I'd be down for the cash equivalent.
Yeah, I would be too.
I got a 21st key.
Couldn't tell you where it is right now.
And how long have you not been talking?
Well, I don't really care about her.
She's like off our family list.
She's out.
All over a piece of wood shaped like a key, maybe with a bit of mirror.
That probably costs about 30 bucks.
Jalen, thanks for your call.
Tina, you're not speaking to your siblings.
No, it's been nearly nine years now.
So she's in the UK and I'm in New Zealand.
My father was diagnosed with dementia
and then not long after he died.
Yeah.
So I went over for the funeral,
flew all that way by myself, emotional,
came back,
everything seemed fine,
came back,
and I found out that
she'd taken him to the solicitors,
to the lawyers,
and to get me cut out of the will.
Oh!
Oh my gosh.
Are you allowed to do that?
What a twist.
If someone's...
So, yeah,
basically,
she got me cut out of the will
because I had a pony when I was younger and she didn't.
Wow.
To be fair, it sounds like you've had your fair share of the money then.
That's like holding on to some vintage grudge.
Yeah, that really is.
Right from back when you were kids.
Did you fight that, Tina?
Well, it's a bit difficult when you're in New Zealand and she's in the UK
and it would have cost so much money. And to top it all off, to make it even worse, Bite that, Tina? Well, it's a bit difficult when you're in New Zealand and she's in the UK,
and it would have cost so much money.
And to top it all off, to make it even worse,
she used my boy's share of the money to buy her ex-partner out of the house.
Oh, my God.
She sounds like a real piece of work, Tina.
She's always been really jealous and really, you know, I mean, the pony,
she just, like, she never even liked ponies. That was a horrible thing.
I just don't have it.
If she's that bitter, money's not going to make her happy.
I know, exactly.
And you get to live in New Zealand.
Exactly.
I'm happy in New Zealand and she can be a whinging palm back in the UK.
Exactly.
I wasn't going to say that, Tina, but yeah, you're right there.
You said it.
Thanks for your call, Tina.
Some text messages.
There's a lot of this.
A lot of these.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Over the littlest things sometimes.
My middle sister doesn't talk to me
because she had an argument with my younger sister
and I didn't take her side.
This was two years ago.
Wow.
But what about Christmas?
Do they just not talk at Christmas?
I don't know.
Maybe they don't have a family Christmas.
I haven't seen my sister for 15 years.
She joined a cult.
Really?
What cult?
It was really upsetting to my parents, and we hit her up about it.
Don't have the energy to deal with it.
But she's told us she'll have the last laugh when the aliens come.
Okay.
I'll wait for that day. Yeah. She'll have the last laugh when the aliens come. Oh, okay.
I'll wait for that day.
Yeah.
There's another person that's scarpered off with their sibling's partner.
I never understand that because, like, they're just the same, aren't they?
Like, if you're going to run off with someone else,
run off with someone that looks different.
You know, you've already got That was the same
Not always
Yeah true
Do you and your brother look the same?
Well I'd like to think he's adopted
But apparently we do
You look the same
I've got more teeth
You look like you've lived a very different life
Yes
My brother disowned me when I arranged to paint
the very hungry caterpillar
cardboard cutouts for work at our dad's house.
He lived there and planned a date night with his new girlfriend
watching movies. Yeah.
But I was there painting the very hungry caterpillar.
I was deleted off Facebook
and everything. Like, even just
explaining that, can you hear how ridiculous
that sounds?
No, because this
person's not done
anything wrong.
They just want to
paint a very
hungry caterpillar.
If the brother's
listening, that
sounds ridiculous.
Yeah, yeah.
That does sound
ridiculous.
The very hungry
caterpillar wasn't
going to paint itself?
No, it really
wasn't.
ZM's Fletch
Vaughan and
Megan, the podcast.
We went to a
business lunch yesterday, didn't we?
Fletch.
We did, yeah.
Megan, you were there for a bit.
You left wisely.
I didn't stay for the luncheon part.
No.
There's two reasons I didn't stay for the luncheon part.
Do you want to know what they were?
Yes.
What?
Because often it has seafood related
and I don't want to be there being like,
I don't eat this, I don't eat this, I don't eat this.
You don't want to be that person.
Second is, I know that they
often drag on and you don't get lunch
until like super late, so I was like,
not going to do it. Why didn't you tell us that?
Because we were real hungry and we kept
eating all the little nibbles. Because I remember you said
free food, I'm in. That's what
you said. It was at a nice restaurant.
That was the only reason I went. I was like,
well, this is a nice way to eat at a restaurant without having to pay
for it.
Yeah, that's exactly why I stayed That was the only reason I went. Yeah. I was like, well, this is a nice way to eat at a restaurant without having to pay for it. Yeah.
That's exactly why I stayed for the lunch.
Yeah.
And then you disappeared.
I skiddled.
And then Bourne and I were just like, when are they bringing out all the big food?
And then there was talking and little food.
And I was like, I've definitely had enough talking.
I haven't had enough little food.
Yeah.
I'm going to need some big food pretty soon.
And then there was drinks and stuff. And I was like, well, I'm driving. So that's not happening. But to need some big food pretty soon. And then there was drinks and stuff and I was like, well,
I'm driving, so that's not happening.
But where's the big food?
And the big food didn't come. I love how you
qualify that as big food and little food.
Not like canapes.
You know those fancy restaurants, and this is why I never go
to fancy restaurants, because all the food, even when
you get a big meal, it's all real little bits.
And like fancy
juices of sauces on the plate. I love that.
But then there's multi-courses.
And it was great.
But then Vaughan and I just looked at each other and we said,
we just can't sustain our bodies
on this little food.
And then we'd see people coming.
Everybody's drinking and stuff.
And I'm like, do these people not have
anything to do this afternoon? No, that's just
how they live their lives is they do a lot of these social functions.
And it was loud.
It's called networking.
It was loud.
Yeah.
But all the business people-
People were talking and I couldn't hear them
and I was like, what?
Because Fletcher and I,
all three of us were in a group talking to these people
and then at one point I turned around
and I was like, where did Vaughn go?
And the person I was talking to said, oh, he told me he had to go to the bathroom and then at one point I turned around and I was like where did Vaughn go? And the person I was talking to said oh he told me
he had to go to the bathroom and then
ditched but now I see he's over there
talking to someone else. Well no I did have to go to the bathroom
but then I stayed in there for a while
because it was the quietest room in the whole place
so I sat down
there's a lot of social anxiety here
a little bit of that but it was just also very loud
and I hate saying pardon
more than once.
Right.
Pardon?
And then you're like, yeah.
That's my, yeah.
And they're like, oh, it's been a tough time.
I'm going bankrupt.
My mum's dead.
I'm like, yeah.
Like, I don't know what they're saying.
I can only run that gauntlet for a limited time before I go, yeah.
To something wildly inappropriate.
But there wasn't much lunch.
It was a business lunch.
It was business nibbles, to be honest.
Every time I saw someone emerge from the swingy doors,
I was like, here we go.
But it wasn't enough for you, was it?
Who slithers?
We had to get a burger on the way home.
But what about the sit-down part where you all sat down?
Well, I only had till two because I had to go get the kids from school.
And they got to two, I'm like, when do these people eat?
This is nearly becoming dinner, breakfast, business dinner.
Yeah, it is for Fletch, a couple of hours and it's dinner time.
Yeah.
But it's all right.
We've got burgers on the way home and, you know, we just left.
It's the business lunch.
Business nibbles.
We'll call it daytime drinking if that's what it's going to be.
We were misled basically, weren't we? We were misled.
Oh, never again. Yeah.
Unless it's a business buffet.
I'll be in for that next
time if it's... I'll be asking
for a time...
like a timetable. For when the food
comes out. Yeah. And then just turn up for that.
Correct. Well, I won because I left there
and went and hung out with
the rest of ZM and we had pizzas.
So you missed out.
Sorry.
Next time I'll tell you, but you probably won't listen, so.
I'll listen.
To this one certain aspect.
You ate and I didn't.
Joining us on the phone
are the leader of our esteemed country
and someone I haven't forgiven
for not introducing me to Stephen Colbert
and also looking to have cooked him
second-rate sausages at this barbecue
they had.
The Prime Minister.
Good morning.
Yeah, I know that anger is real.
You speak quite a bit about it.
Very bitter.
I mean, messages on Instagram, Facebook, and now on air.
You should have heard the sass.
He's like, she definitely served him sizzlers.
Can we get coffee?
They absolutely were not sizzlers,
because if I'd seen sizzlers,
I probably would have got quite nostalgic and excited.
Probably worse than that. I think they were got quite nostalgic and excited. Probably worse than that.
I think they were something quite generic.
Right, they were definitely a pre-cooked sausage though, weren't they?
I have to say, it wasn't my purchase in my own defence
because do you know I would have, if I could have,
would have gone for a Duffy sausage.
Oh, a Duffy sausage.
What's a Duffy?
Oh, is that a Marnesville thing?
It was a Marnesville sausage.
Oh, okay. Shit, that was a good sausage. Really? Okay, right. Yeah, it was a good sausage. Which is a Morrinsville. What's a Duffy? Oh, is that a Morrinsville thing? It was a Morrinsville sausage. Oh, okay.
Shit, that was a good sausage.
Really?
Okay, right.
Yeah, it was a good sausage.
Quality butcher.
Yeah.
You can't beat the small, the old butchery.
They're making a comeback, the butchery.
Oh, yeah.
And, you know, so that's, you know, I would have gone for a quality sausage.
So forgive me, New Zealand.
Given that the next day he ate spaghetti toasties,
I think probably.
So have you been watching his segments playing out this week?
This is the segments of Stephen Colbert in the country.
Yes, I haven't seen the one with the All Blacks last night,
but I did see the one with Lucy Lawless.
It's a great way to show a massive international audience,
New Zealand, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean, the whole
I think the whole idea these
days is to, Tourism
New Zealand are trying to get beyond just this idea
of showcasing
New Zealand adventure tourism
and to showcase the people
and, you know, a bit more
about, you know, our city centres as well
and they've done a great job, yeah.
Have any world leaders been in touch after your singing in the car?
What, to shame me?
Well, I was going to say to, like, launch, declare war with us or something.
Then you're...
Like, I'm surprised Britain hasn't declared war on us,
given the awful thing you did to one of their most prestigious songs.
Well, to be fair, he joined me in the massacre of that song.
I have to say, though, because he was singing quite a bit in the car.
I was not, except for that one segment,
which they then just edited and used.
He is musically trained.
He can really sing.
Yeah, no, he was a beautiful singer.
Now, did I read earlier this week,
you're getting your wisdom teeth out today?
Late tonight, yes.
Tonight?
At the end, on a Friday?
Okay.
Yeah, I think I'm being squeezed in, I suspect.
Right.
Who picks you up from the dentist?
Is Clark picking up from the dentist?
Clark's going to pick me up from the dentist.
We could totally do
one of those
Prime Minister
after the dentist things.
I don't know if you just
heard you suggest that and he
just said, yeah, I will.
He's got
heaps of GoPros. Rig them up in the car.
This is a YouTube hit waiting to happen.
I think just the singing was enough for the week.
But thank you.
Double down.
Double down on these things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thank you for your sympathy, though.
I really hear it in your voice and laughter.
You will never get any sympathy from us ever again.
No.
We'll call this cold bear gate and leave it at that.
Yes.
I officially apologise.
Fantastic, Jacinda.
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us
and best of luck for the wisdom teeth extraction.
Thanks, guys.
All right.
Friday Flashback.
We'll reveal everything so, but first,
it is time for Friday Flashback
and it's my turn this week for Friday Flashback. It's hard when you get to the end of the year because is time for Friday Flashback. And it's my turn this week for Friday Flashback.
It's hard when you get to the end of the year.
Because the rules for Friday Flashback, you can go up to 10 years ago.
And it's got to be a banger.
And we've kind of exhausted a lot of 2009, to be honest.
So, I've gone back a little bit further.
And I've found a song that we haven't done, which I bloody love.
And I was thinking actually,
because after Friday Jams,
you know, I was just thinking in my head who would be good to get to,
you know, next year's Friday Jams
because that'll happen.
35,000 people.
Loved it.
And I think this band would be awesome.
Are they on good terms?
I don't know.
And I don't know if they've actually been doing.
I haven't heard anything from either of them for ages.
They did separate projects, right?
Yeah, I thought there was a bit of not ill feeling, but...
Sick of each other?
Yeah, maybe not.
I hear that.
But, you know, a bit of a reunion tour.
I've got a lot of sass today.
It's Friday.
I'm getting it all out.
Blaster.
No!
Oh, you heard that one.
Thank you, Nerf.
You got me in the boot before.
This song was number five in New Zealand.
Made it to number two in Australia.
It was a top ten track in a lot of places around the world.
And it is from 2004.
Today's Friday flashback.
With the line, what is it?
Smells like poo-poo-poo.
Lyrical genius.

Oh, so you're one of them freaks.
Get geeked at the sight of an ATM receipt.

Good with chasing cars.
What happens when the dough gets low?
You ain't that fine.
No way.
No way.
No way.
ZM, it's your Friday Flashback outcast, Roses. I'm just going to go out and say it. No way I think I was, I chose that 10 minutes ago. This song ruined my high school career. Why?
Because my name was Caroline.
I was going to say, Caroline's must hate this song.
I used to get, Caroline, Caroline.
I used to get Sweet Caroline.
Sweet Caroline.
Dum, dum, dum.
Good times never seemed so good.
And then it went to Caroline.
I never noticed, and all the times I've heard that song,
I've never noticed there's a verse, it's quite a horrible verse.
He says, Caroline, he hopes she's speeding to get to the club.
She's putting on makeup in the mirror and she crashes into a ditch.
Yeah.
It's a horrible thing to wish on anybody.
It certainly is.
We're talking about how great they'd be for a Friday Jams line-up.
You wanted to know if the two of them were talking.
And you've heard, you've done some digging.
Confirmation, Big Boy and Andre 3000 were together for Big Boy's graduation in May or March this year.
Big Boy graduated?
No, his son.
Oh, I remember his son being mentioned in one of their early OutKast songs, but he was like a baby.
That'd be great.
Yeah.
Well, float the idea.
Great, this is good news. We'll. Yeah. Well, float the idea. They're talking. Great, this is good news.
Or float it. Float the idea.
Now, what about... What's their postal address?
Stankonia?
Boy, I'll draw
3,000 care of Stankonia.
A couple of months ago, or what, six weeks?
Month? I've got no concept of time.
This year is flying.
One of these rotations around the
sun that we currently experience in our water-covered rock.
We mentioned that there were some issues in Nelson,
Megan's hometown, where the show was languishing
at spot number 13 out of all the morning radio shows in Nelson.
And so we flew into action and we went down there.
Put up a billboard.
We put up a billboard. One little billboard.
We, you know, shook some hands.
We met the people.
We met the locals.
We went to the peanut factory, the Picks Peanut Butter factory.
Can I say, they gave us some peanut butter products to take away.
And I graciously said, thank you very much.
But I don't know.
I don't like peanut butter.
But I tried peanut butter and jelly.
I'm on board. Oh, it's real yummy. I finally found a't like peanut butter. But I tried peanut butter and jelly. I'm on board.
Oh, it's real yummy. I finally found a peanut product I like and it's peanut butter jelly. And I
have like a peanut butter jelly sandwich all
the time now. They've hooked you.
I know, it's big. You hate peanut butter.
It's the power of Nelson.
Yeah. Well, the
goal was to not be the 13th
out of
14 breakfast show.
In the commercial radio.
In Nelson.
Well, yesterday, the results came out.
I'm looking at them right now.
So you've got the Nelson results.
Do we have a drum roll?
Because we put in a lot of effort.
Oh, yeah, okay.
It's my hometown.
It always interests me.
Let's just preface this by saying it is
possible to go down. Yeah.
Not great, but totally possible.
Okay, would you like a drumroll?
Yes please. Okay. Why did I clean my throat?
This is long.
Yep, still going.
Thank you.
Oh wow.
We are now 10th place.
Yeah!
13th to 10th.
Yes!
13th to 10th.
You've been so happy to be 10th.
Oh, my God.
That's so great.
That's three spots, baby.
I don't know who we bounded over. That's, baby. I don't know who we bounded over.
That's so good.
Good on us.
Thank you, Nelson.
Are you proud?
Are you proud?
That's really lovely.
Yep.
That's good.
We could have gone down.
We should have had a celebration song.
Like, what's a celebration?
Celebrate good times.
Come on.
I don't know what that song is called.
There's been a couple of good celebration songs since that one.
What's that song called?
Is it called Celebration?
Celebrate good times, good times.
Celebrate good times.
Celebrate, bracket, good times, close bracket.
Is it?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Quick, find it.
We're slipping back.
We're slipping back to 12th.
No, I can't find it.
Celebrate.
Who sings it? Three Dog Night. I don't know. 12th. No, I can't find it. Celebrate. Who sings it?
Three Dog Night.
I don't know.
Is that who sings it?
Sounds like it.
Isn't it cool in the gang?
Oh, yeah, it is.
Yeah, you're right.
Is it cool in the gang?
Do I have to do everything around here?
But cool with a K, eh?
Yeah.
Okay, hang on.
Because it's extra cool.
Cool.
It's just called celebration.
Arrange my artist.
No, I've got it.
I've got it.
Stand by.
Oh, we should do it again.
Pretend this whole chat never happened.
Shorter drum roll.
I don't have a shorter drum roll.
Just cut it off.
Be like, dun-dun-dun.
Well, anyway, we're the 13th in Nelson.
So let's see what we are now.
Yep.
Still going.
We've gone from 13th to 10th in Nelson.
Yes!
Yes!
This is so cliche and cheesy, this song.
Like, it's horrible.
It's so horrible.
I'm looking at the top five stations, all pretty cliche.
So this could actually do more for us in Nelson than all of that other work we put in.
Well, I mean, if anything, this shows anything.
We should be advertising on the number one station more because we took that radio ad out.
Yeah.
Is that our number one anymore?
That is a wasted ad.
An absolute waste of bloody money.
Well, because we took the listeners from them to us with the ad.
Okay, success then.
So what I'm saying is another couple of ads on that formerly number one station.
They actually dropped the same amount of places we went up.
Are you kidding?
That is what we call a shift in power balance.
It's a great day.
It's a great day.
So this is what I'm saying
We do that like a couple more times
We sneak an ad on
Yeah
Do it on the new number one
Yeah
The new number one's a talk
Oh
So we could just ring up and say it
Say it on a phone call
Say something about immigration
Something racist
And then slip it in Yeah And then end Yeah That's actually how boomers get laid Say it on a phone call. Say something about immigration, something racist,
and then slip it in.
Yeah.
And then end.
Yeah.
That's actually how boomers get laid.
Say something about immigration,
say something racist,
and then slip it in.
Nelson boomers especially. I would like to thank all of our Nelson,
our new Nelson listeners for being on board
and just everybody around the nation that was involved in this epic journey
to number 10 from number 13.
Long may it continue.
Next on the show.
Just trying to find out exactly how many new listeners we got.
That's thousands.
Can you do that?
Just take it.
1,000.
That's a lot, man.
That's fantastic. That's a lot of people. We'll take anybody. 1,000. That's a lot, man. It's fantastic. Apparently.
That's a lot of people.
We'll take anybody.
Absolutely, we will.
Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
Are you going to say the time or anything, or are you done?
No, nearly 19 past eight.
Okay.
You just had like an upward inflection, and I felt like you were going to say more.
No, I'm waiting for you to tell us about this hot girl at the mall that talked to your husband.
Okay.
So, went to a little visit.
David Jones opened in Auckland yesterday.
Your Wellington's had one for a while.
Yeah.
Every time we go down there, I'm like, leave me.
This means nothing to me.
It sounds like Kmart.
Just as in Zoological.
It's a flash Kmart.
Right.
So, we went there yesterday, had a wee walkies round,
and I was looking at the perfumes for a second,
turned my back for a second.
And someone's on them.
I turned around and this beautiful woman who was working at David Jones
was talking to my husband.
But they were like having a yarn, like really good mates.
Right.
She was like, oh, my God, it's so good to see you.
Did you like get your back all arched up and go?
No, I kind of just okay, this girl is beautiful.
What's happening here?
She was like, it's so good to see.
Can you stop?
She was like, what are you doing?
What are you doing here?
And he was like, oh, I'm just looking around the new shop, seeing what it's all about.
She's like, awesome.
Like, how long have you been here?
He's like, oh, what do you mean?
She's like, in New Zealand.
He's like, oh, like, I've been here a while.
Like, I live here.
Yeah.
She's like, oh, you live here now?
And he's like, yeah.
My husband's from South Africa originally.
So I was like, oh, they're family friends or something.
But are you standing right next to your husband now? At this point, I've moved in. Right. So he was like, oh, they're family friends or something. But are you right,
standing right next to your husband now? At this point,
I've moved in.
Right.
So he doesn't like introduce me.
Which is like,
hey,
one of two things.
Fletch does that
all the time.
Yeah, but.
How famously does Fletch
never introduce anybody?
never.
Produces both.
How good is Fletch
at bringing people
none of us have ever met somewhere
and not introducing anybody to anybody?
Sometimes it's because I don't know their name.
See, this is the thing.
Oh, you should.
No, I'm kidding, obviously.
No, but I just assume everyone knows because I know.
But you're right, I am pretty bad at that.
Also, it's just polite to bring someone in.
So either he didn't know her name or he didn't want me to know who she was.
I would imagine knowing Mr Toyboy, he does not know her name or he didn't want me to know who she was. I would imagine knowing Mr. Toyboy, he does not know her name.
So I'm standing there and I'm just like not being brought in.
But she did, she gestured to me and smiled.
I was like, okay, okay, okay, what's happening?
So she's like, oh my God, how long, so how long have you been here?
He's like, oh yeah, like a while.
I live here now.
She's like, cool, that's awesome.
Are you still doing music?
And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm still doing music on the side.
And I'm just thinking, how do these two know each other?
How hard is this time?
She's beautiful.
Like, beautiful.
Naturally beautiful, too.
Oh, bitch.
Just required no effort.
And she was just wearing a black T-shirt, part of a David Jones uniform.
And she's like, beautiful.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
And I was like, done up to the mines.
Stop being beautiful.
Not even on her lips.
So, yeah, she's like, still doing music.
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm still doing it on the side.
She's like, that's awesome.
Like, I'd love to hear some of the new stuff.
And he's like, yeah, yeah.
Oh, my.
I was just so baffled.
Even I'm, I'm, now I'm.
And she's like, so how long, like so how long have you lived in New Zealand
and Andrew's like
oh 12 years
and she's like oh really
you don't live in Australia anymore
and at this point he was like
who do you
think I am
she's like no I know who you are and he's like oh yeah I never lived in am? She's like, no, I know who you are.
And he's like, oh yeah, I never lived in Australia.
And she's like, oh, crazy.
And I was so baffled at this point.
He's like, can I just, do you know my name?
She's like, yeah, Guy Sebastian.
He looks nothing like Guy Sebastian
Apart from the fact that he's brown
That's it
They both have quite dense eyebrows
Maybe
Megan, they look nothing like each other
I'm just having a Guy Sebastian refresher
Okay
I'm just in a photo with Guy Sebastian Oh, okay.
I've just seen a photo where Guy Sebastian.
I mean, we both love Guy Sebastian. I know.
He's lovely.
He's a great man.
She's only semi-familiar with Guy Sebastian.
Like this photo.
She was.
He's also half Malaysian, half Australian.
Okay, they look the same there.
No, they don't.
Yes, they do.
No, they look nothing alike. Eyebrows. That's the eyebrows. No, they don't. Yes, they do. No, they look nothing like.
Eyebrows.
It's the eyebrows.
Eyebrows, the hair.
Slight.
Barely.
Five o'clock shadow.
She was convinced though, and he was like, oh no, my name's Andrew.
But I am a singer and I was in a band in New Zealand.
She's like, oh, I know, sorry, Morehouse.
Oh my God, not all brown people
look the same.
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum.
No. Titanic, but that's okay.
Yeah, Titanic band.
She didn't know him. She thought he was
Guy Sebastian. Two other people.
Two other people before he had to tell her
who he was. Oh, but I was like,
yeah, that's good for you.
That's good.
A little bit of a,
yeah, every now and then
when you've got a hot partner
and they get a blow
to the ego,
it's good.
And you just sprinkled
on the counter
and then left, didn't you?
We just walked away quietly
and I had a wee chuckle.
Yeah.
How was his ego after that?
I mean, he likes Guy Sebastian,
so I think he was just holding on to that,
that he looked like him.
I mean, I could print out the messages we get to our Facebook page
saying that they went into Beaufort and come,
Mr. Twiver was hot.
How many of those are we getting?
There's a few.
A lot of my friends as well.
I don't want you worrying like that when you're at work,
he is a Tomcat at play.
Wrap this up.
Places to be.
I've had so many friends that are just like,
Mr. Toyboy, we're going back for more.
What?
This is good for business.
Everyone calm down, please.
It's good for business.
If he was a minger, nobody would be going.
His sales would be three to four.
The slices are nice, but the guy's a minger.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Over the course of that song, I've been working on my cat noises.
It's a fun noise to make.
Yeah.
Meow.
Meow. Meow. Yeah.
They used to do that when we lived
suburbanly.
The cats,
the suburban cats,
they have territory battles,
don't they?
Yeah.
In fact,
I think I'd rather watch
an hour and a half of that
than go and see that
new Cats movie.
That looks so awful.
Oh, my God.
It looks like nightmare inducing.
It would be better if James Corden was just wearing that makeup going,
at Taylor Swift.
And then Jason Derulo was like.
That would be good.
Well, I think maybe we can voice over the movie.
Yeah, okay, let's do that.
Right now, though, it's time for...
Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.
Yeah. Today's Fact of the Day is about caffeine and birth control.
Okay.
We were talking before about the possible male injection of birth control.
Yes.
An injection into the groin region.
Right.
Could be an effect of birth control on the male side of things for a change.
But birth control pills, they've been around for a long time.
You've got to find the one that works for you.
They've got different names and things.
But today's Fact of the Day is birth control pills can make your coffee last longer.
What do you mean?
So caffeine, this is what I've learnt, is a substrate for CYP1A2.
Oh yeah, I knew that.
Of course you did.
It's on the label under my cone.
Look on the bottom of that single-use cup.
It says what's in it, and you'll find CYP1A2.
So how it's affected by different things
is that birth controls can extend the half-life of caffeine.
So that means it lasts longer in your system.
So if you're on birth control,
you shouldn't need as many coffees.
And then if you come off birth control, and all't need as many coffees. Oh, yeah.
And then if you come off birth control
and all of a sudden you're like,
man, that coffee did nothing.
Didn't even touch the sides.
That might be because the birth control
was giving it that little extra humfer.
Oh, okay.
I don't drink as many coffees as you guys.
Maybe you should have a pill.
Just to have it in the coffee?
Or I could just have an extra teaspoon of coffee, Megan. That's also not a pill. Just to have it in the coffee. Or I could just have an extra teaspoon
of coffee, Megan.
That's also not a problem.
Smoking tobacco
increases the clearance by 56%.
So if you
smoke and have a coffee, it makes it go
through you quicker.
It clears it through you.
That's bad because I already pass it pretty quickly.
When you have a coffee and it's like,
oh, okay, that's got me going.
Tear that up with a cigarette.
You'll barely finish your dairy and you'll be like,
oh, I've got to go.
I'm going to ship myself.
Go in.
Get your business done.
Also, this just was in an article about how it affects medications and stuff.
And apparently it could increase the potency of some headache medication.
Really?
Right.
So that's why some of them say they have caffeine in them,
so it gets it into your system quicker.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
So today's fact of the day is that if you're on birth control,
it can make your coffee go further.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
The TV awards were on.
They give out awards for all the different TV personalities and news and stuff.
All different categories.

last night,
TVNZ's Breakfast Weather Presenter
Maddie McLean picked up the Television
Personality of the Year.
Fancy.
Maddie McLean joins us,
friend of the show. Good morning, Maddie. Stop it joins us, friend of the show.
Good morning, Maddie.
Stop it.
Stop bringing it up, guys.
It's so embarrassing.
That's so New Zealand of you,
isn't it?
It's so fake of me as well because I am milking this
for all of you.
I know you are.
Bathing in it.
And just to think,
we guys yesterday
after the show had coffee
with the TV presenter
of the year. And who could have, we guys yesterday after the show had coffee with the TV presenter of the year.
And who could have known?
You're in the presence of greatness.
Remember, I literally asked you, I was like, how do I vote?
And you're like, it's too late.
Well, you didn't even need my vote, Matty.
You did it without it.
That's very kind.
Thank you.
It was a public vote, wasn't it?
So that means even more, doesn't it?
It means a lot.
My people love me.
Is there something you want to say to your people, Manny?
Oh, look, honestly,
it was just an honour to be nominated last night.
It was very unexpected.
No, it was...
I had a very good night.
You've caught me just out of bed,
but not quite as bad as my own show
who literally sent a camera operator out here with a reporter
to door knock me in my pyjamas.
Oh, my.
Lucky you were wearing pyjamas.
Well, they were lucky.
Or unlucky, I don't know.
Now, you might have won personality of the year, Matty,
but I was talking to my friend Israel.
He's a scientist in Australia,
and he said your lifestyle is causing bushfires.
Oh.
Oh.
What have you got to say about that?
I mean, personally, yeah, sure.
Scientist Israel Folau.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Renowned scientist.
And meteorologist.
Yeah, Israel Folau.
Yeah, I mean, he knows what he's talking about.
I wish I had that much power on me.
Oh, my God. What an evil laugh. I wish I had that much power on me. Oh, my God.
What an evil laugh.
I wish I could cause bushfires.
I wish I had the power to be able to cause bushfires,
but then not use my powers for that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Like what, just do controlled burn-offs?
Yes.
With your gay powers.
Fires that are powers.
Species. Yeah. That's good for that. Now, Armedi gay powers. Fire-starting powers.
Yeah, that's good for that.
Now, Matty, even though it's your day off,
tell us about this.
No more rain in November.
No, I know. Isn't that good?
I mean, not for everywhere. There are probably a couple of places.
I think around Fiordland and stuff today,
they're expecting a little bit of rain.
I mean, no one.
Who lives in Fiordland and stuff today. They're expecting a little bit of rain. No one listens around there. I mean, no one. Yeah.
Who lives in Fiordland?
No one.
Yeah.
I love your evil laugh.
What's your laugh?
Your horrible laugh.
Because he just broke down.
He's like,
that'd be a great place
to light one of my gay bushfires.
I think it's the one or two wines
I had last night
is messing with my vocal cords.
That sounds hot.
That's hot.
Hey, well,
Manny McLean
picking up TV Personality of the Year
last night at the TV Awards.
Congratulations on behalf of the show.
Thank you so much.
Well deserved.
And I can't wait to meet you.
And I will expect you
to call me by that entire title
for the next 12 months.
Yes.
Until they give it to someone else.
Until it's pride from my very hand.
Your cold, dead, bushfire lighting hands.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
There is a recipe that's gone viral and we need to discuss.
It actually came from the Slow Cooker Recipes tips and tips Facebook page.
You would love that. I follow a couple of Slow Cooker pages.
Because in winter I'll get up the Nan's Slow Cooker.
Come home to her.
I love it.
You come home and it's just like this.
Smell, smell.
I just don't like how everything ends up kind of sloppy.
You know?
Yeah, that's a good call.
Everything ends up as a casserole.
No, not always.
I think you're adding too much supplementary liquid.
Maybe.
Yeah, that's a trick for slow cookers.
Maybe.
Too much liquid.
This is actually one for you, Fletch.
I'm surprised you haven't seen it on your Slow Cooker Recipes and Tips Facebook page.
It is for caramilk.
Now, they're being called bliss balls here,
but I think bliss balls aren't.
They're supposed to be like raw.
Megan believes bliss balls should be good for you. Not good for you, but I think bliss balls aren't. They're supposed to be like raw. Megan believes bliss balls should be good for you.
Not good for you, but not.
It's always like dates and honey.
No refined sugar.
That's what a bliss ball is, right?
Otherwise, it's just a.
Like cacao.
Cacao.
My nan makes these.
Oh, yes.
Rumbles.
It's almost Christmas.
Oh, rumbles.
Nan marshmallows with this like lolly cake roll and coconut ball.
Wait, so that's like just a lolly cake ball.
A little bit, yeah.
Oh, that'd be real yum.
Snowballs, she calls them.
Now, they deliver me nothing but pure bliss,
but I wouldn't call them bliss balls because to me bliss balls are always...
Let's call them snowballs.
Slightly healthier.
Yum.
So what has been made?
A caramilk ball.
Oh, actually, my friend James, he told me because he knows my love of caramilk
because I don't make the cookies.
He said, I'm making some of these.
I'll bring you one.
But they all went flat.
But it still tasted real yum.
So I think they just ended up pressing them all down and making a slice.
Right.
Did he forget the roughage?
Because I'm about to tell you the recipe.
There's roughage in it to keep it solid, obviously.
Yeah, maybe.
So you need a block of caramilk.
Okay.
A whole block.
A whole tin of condensed milk.
Shit.
This is why it tasted so yum.
And then you need a packet of plain biscuits to crush it up.
Oh, yeah, like super limes?
Put it in as your roughage.
Yep.
And then you roll it in the coconut.
That's literally all there is to it.
I saw this being shared
yesterday and it was
going crazy.
Melt the caramel.
You melt the caramel.
So you actually,
it says to put it
in the slow cooker
but obviously
you don't need to do that.
You can put it
in the slow cooker,
mix everything with it,
crush your biscuits
and then,
yeah,
just roll them
in the coconut.
Grab your insulin injection
and just give yourself a...
But good for Christmas.
You can have it on Christmas Day.
Treat yourself at Christmas because we all know calories...
Calories don't count at Christmas.
And it's technically Christmas now, right?
The build-up.
Yeah, okay, so for the next month.
Yeah.
That's what I want from Santa this year.
What?
5,000 guilt-free calories.
Wouldn't that be nice?
All right, 90 minutes of non-slip jams and that $1,000 bonus banger,
thanks to Moolah,
is coming up.
