ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. I can't even see my headphones. I'm so ill-prepared for this day. Yeah. Where are they? What have you been doing for the last half an hour? Well, you made the mistake of giving him some Moana news, so he's probably been researching that. I have been looking into that situation.

Moana, the sequel's been announced. Yeah, what are we going to get? What's going to be the problem affecting Motunui? I don't know. And the wider Pacific Ocean. Maybe it's plastic. Are you ready for your kids to be playing this movie over and over again again? Yeah, no, I was down with Moana.

We've got Frozen 2 before the end of the year. Oh, God. We've got a raft of chances for a catchy ditty to ruin our summer from Frozen. I've got my headphones on now. How about that? Like, you would never have known. Yeah, right. That's called professionally chaotic.

You don't know what's going on, but you somehow maintain a level of professionalism. A somewhat level of professionalism. A somewhat level of professionalism. A little level of professionalism. Hey, good news. I know we weren't expected to, but we beat Namibia at the Rugby World Cup. We pulled through. That was really touch and go. Huge rugby nation, of course, Namibia.

Definitely not. They're just there to bolster the numbers. But we beat them. Great news. Is that our in-depth rugby analysis of the morning? I think it'll do. Yeah. I think it'll do.

Tick that box. I know there's been lots of red cards and yellow cards handed out. More red cards in this Rugby World Cup than any World Cup. Like to do with the tackling. Like you just fall over into a tackle and you get a yellow card or a red card maybe. Yeah. For your team. You fall over into a tackle.

How can they tell if you're falling over or if you're actually like getting tackled? I don't understand that. So I heard someone say you fall into it so it looks like they're coming in at the shoulders to the head, which is the big problem because they're trying to avoid concussions. So there's this unsportsmanly vibe of throwing yourself into a tackle. I mean, stupidly risking your neck and your head.

But it'll result in the other team getting a red or a yellow. Oh, right. And you getting a headache. Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty much trying to stop your head with a truck. A human truck. Yeah. All right, you lot, listen up.

It's story time. Story time. Story time, three news headlines, but there can only be one story. You've got to choose one of the following three headlines, Vaughan and Megan. Headline one, Florida man, Florida woman, rather, I should say, leads police on six-hour ceiling chase.

Ceiling chase. Headline two, man's finger gun works a treat. And headline three, this little pig dug a hole this little pig dug a hole i like you like that one yeah i'll have that one if you want that one yeah go on okay all right we go uh to paris go to Paris now. And a zoo in Paris. This is a zoo that has a lot of endangered species. They've got an endangered species of pig. This pig. I wouldn't even look at it.

No, neither. It's a Visian warty pig. I'll show you a picture. Just looks like a pig, right? Oh, a little bit different to a pig. Like a real small pig. Visayan watered pig. Warty.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Am I saying that right? Visayan. Visayan. Visayan. Warty pig. Oh, it's like a warthog pig. Yeah, it looks like a warthog pig. Yeah, it looks like a warthog pig.

It looks like a pumba. Most pigs do look like warthogs, eh? I don't know enough about pigs to comment, really, to be honest. Well, anyway, these endangered pigs, every six months, they dig out shallow nests to prepare for the birth of their piglets. When you said nest, I automatically assumed the pig would lay an egg. Even though a unicorn can have a nest if you're just a live birthing mammal. So they'd normally do it with their snouts,

but the researchers saw one of the pigs take a stick in its mouth and began using it as a shovel to dig a hole. And it's the first time ever that they've seen this species use a tool. They're getting smarter. They're getting smarter. Wow. And so they were like, well, I wonder if it would use

like a fish slice, a spatula. So they chucked them in. And they did not. And they did use a spatula, but they preferred a stick. They went back to the stick. They were like,

I'll try your spatula, human. It would have been one of those spatulas where it's all plastic, but it's that non-melty plastic. stick. They were like, I'll try your spatula, human. It would have been one of those spatulas where it's all plastic, but it's that non-melty plastic. And they would have like, you know, they can never hold much weight. No. Always in the angle join.

If you try to pick up anything too heavy, like if you're trying to roll a roast in the crock pot and you've got a pair of tongs and a fish slice, and you're trying to roll it, never, eh? No. Never like it flops around what would you use instead a stick

I'd use a stick if I had a clean stick yeah right I always stab it with a knife this is how I roll a roast I get two knives and I stab it

and I like it's like the reverse of climbing you know if you're climbing you were like stabbing into a rock face as you climbed or a tree

yeah yeah I do that except I stand still and the roast rolls yeah climb and you were like stabbing into a rock face as you climbed or a tree. Yeah. Yeah. I do that except I stand still and the roast rolls. Yeah, the roast. Okay. Stab and then you lift and then you grab another one. Stab, stab. Two or three should do it and you'll have a whole 180 turn.

Yeah. And your roast will cook on the other side. When have you ever climbed a tree stabbing a tree? No, but I was just, if I was too, that's how I would do it. That's how you'd climb a tree. Yeah. Or like plunges on a glass wall like was too, that's how I would do it. That's how you'd climb a tree. Yeah. Or like plunges on a glass wall like you're in a movie and you climb the outside

of a wall, a glass wall. Yeah, right. I mean, I've never done that either, but I'm just trying to like put it into, you know,

common terms. Right. Well, I'm just saying that pigs are learning how to use tools now, so give it 100 years and they might be using guns. I don't know.

I'm sad that you went to guns. I was imagining. I was thinking hair straightener. Oh, I was thinking power tools. Kind of an insight into all of our psyche there. Megan wants to put lipstick on her pig and straighten its hair.

I was imagining hiring one to do manual tasks and Fletch was worried they were going to kill us all. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. A study has been done and it looks into drivers of all different cars. Okay. It has overall calculated the worst drivers and what car they drive. Now, is this a New Zealand study?

This is a European study. Oh, right. Okay. Will the classic Toyota be on there? Probably not. The Toyota's not on there. I have a Mazda and a Nissan back. Okay.

I haven't spent a lot of time in Europe. Slash none. No, you remember we went to Europe. Oh, Amsterdam for a night. No, and remember in the to Europe and Amsterdam for a night. No, and remember in the Greek islands you fell off the scooter and you slid under the truck. That's right. They all had like little teeny tiny trucks and cars

out there. Yeah, they did. In mainland Europe, is it mostly European cars? What's mainland Europe like? Just everywhere in Europe. Yeah, pretty much. Everywhere in Europe. It's mostly European cars. You get taxis, you go out drinking, you get a taxi home and it's a Mercedes

and you're like, ooh la la. Yeah, that's something. You freak out and think you've got one of those corporate cabs. You're like, I know. No, no, no. I just wanted a budget one. Just like getting in one of those cabs costs you like $10. Right, so there's not many Japanese cars on the road. Not really, no.

All European cars. Okay. So do you want to take a guess overall which car, which driver of which car has been considered the worst? So there's stats for other. So it'd be like a flash one, like Mercedes or Audi, BMW. I'm just going to name all Citroen. I'm just going to name all the European cars.

So they have found that Audi drivers overall are the worst. So they are the least likely to own up to causing damage. They will park across two spaces, park on double yellow lines at outside schools. Audi drivers are the most likely to commit 17 out of 33 driving misdemeanors. I've always wanted an Audi. I can't get one now.

I'd be labelled a bad driver. I just have this thing about silver Audis. I don't know why. I just feel like if you drive a silver Audi, you're a real D-bag. I just, it's just, I don't know. Look, I was about to say, oh, like an A3. Like I pictured it and then I was like, A4 as well.

Those wagons as well. I was like, yeah, I'm with you on that. Those Silver Audis. You see one, you're like, oh, here we go. It's like the car equivalent of that woman who's like, I need to speak to someone, to the manager. Yeah. You're indicating and, like, traffic's banked up,

and you're like, someone let me in. Oh, there's a Silver Audi. They're not letting me in. That's just ingrained in me. Yeah. Wow. Okay. BMW drivers are the surprise.

Right. So they are found to be the most likely to, well, the best drivers. Right. They're not going to commit any offences, which is interesting, isn't it? Yeah. Now, I've just gotten rid of my little Mazda but Mazda drivers

67% of them have admitted to cursing at the wheel so they're the sweariest drivers for driving Mazda, road rage see I think in New Zealand it would more likely be Ford Ranger yeah right oh yeah, you never had a Ford Ranger rot up your ass.

When you're doing 80 on the way, you can just almost look back and see this guy being like, get out of the way, I'm in such a hurry. You're like, all right, mate. We're doing the absolute speed limit. Turn your farm back there, bucko. And there's one make that is the filthiest. So the car that throws the most rubbish out the window.

What drivers are these? Nissan. Nissan drivers. They have admitted to throwing the most rubbish out the window. Who would admit to throwing rubbish out the window? I guess it was kind of an anonymous test and you had to answer. Right. If you'd do it.

Yeah. I'd love to see this done in New Zealand. Yeah. I saw someone throw rubbish out the window last week. I was aghast. It was on the motorway. It was rappers. It was like, they were rappers. The people driving weren't

rappers. They threw rappers out the window. Rappers need to be squeaky clean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to go down for a, you know, a light traffic violation. Yeah, like rappers in America are like drive-bys and drugs and guns and hair. How's it like, I've just had this muesli bar, I want to go for a rapper.

Out the window. Out the window. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Well, they disappeared last year. Okay. They were like, there's no more. And I at the time was like, they're not going to do that. This is like when someone is like, I'm leaving.

Like, attention, Greg. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm leaving this party. I'm deleting my Facebook. Yeah. So everyone's like, no, don't. No, don't. We love having you here.

We love having you here. And anyway, they've done exactly as predicted. Yeah. Girl Guide Biscuits are back. Remember they announced last year? They did say last year, that's it. Yeah. Name a fan ready for us, guys.

Sorry, you'll have to find your plain boring biscuit houseware. Why did they say they were stopping them? Were people over them? I don't know why just the Girl Guides chief executive said they would be stopping them. Stop selling the iconic treats. Maybe there wasn't the money in it that there once was. Or maybe people have woken up to the fact that they're just disgusting biscuits. They're not disgusting. I love your Girl Guides, but they're yuck.

They have chocolate dip ones. Well, yeah, I know, but that's just. But again, you can walk down the supermarket. You don't appreciate like a plain like shortbread either. No, I've got no. Why would you buy a plain biscuit when you can have a squiggle or a toffee pop or a Tim Tam? Because all of those are chocolate covered. Not everyone's into chocolate like you are.

Well, at least go a super wine. A super wine? Over a good one. A Girl Guide is way better than a super wine. It is pretty much a super wine, isn't it? No, it is way better. It's way better. Is it?

Yes. If you're going to talk about plain biscuits, you need to go to the plain biscuit aficionado over here. Old plain biscuit herself. Often described as a dry plain malt biscuit. You sit down and eat ginger nuts, Nana. Yeah. I don't like a lot of choccy on my bickies.

It's too much. Especially if we're going to have like four. The most underrated plain biscuit is the malt biscuit. Do you ever eat a couple of those? No. And the only thing those are good for is the lolly cake. The lolly cake. Yeah, but when you're making a lolly cake, you'd sneak a couple of Maltese.

Yeah, right. I don't know why I like those. You give me... That's the weirdest choice of biscuit. I wouldn't buy them. The only reason they're still selling those is for lolly cake. You like... Megan likes the biscuits that are left over in a sampler box

after the entire family's been through it and left the ones that are left. I would appreciate a biscuit that tastes good without chocolate, without having to be smothered in chocolate. Do you like those white powdery ones in a sampler that have sugar on top? Sugar crystals on top? Yes, yes. What are they called?

Dundees. Are those dundees? Yeah, you bite around the edge and leave the sugary substance at the end and then you lick it. You lick the sugar? Don't. Please, for those at home. Don't do that tongue action.

You've got to give it a frantic, quick licking. Yuck. I'm going to hit that done. I'm not looking at you until you stop. Okay, I promise to stop. Right. So how, they're back for how long? Just forever?

They're back in supermarkets. Right. Okay. Forever ever or limited run. Forever and ever? So Countdown has said, Countdown Super Value and Fresh Choice Stores are going to have them. Oops, shut up.

Was that a seal? Was that like a... No, it was a woman talking, but good. It was like an old recording of a woman talking. Oh, right. Like, we have come so far. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Woman on a whole would do really well.

That's what Megan said. You sounded like a barking seal. But so the original ones are going to be available, but they won't be selling the chocolate ones. Good. Right. I think, yeah, because you can get better chocolate biscuits. But they've got the plain ones for the plain people.

And are Girl Guards making like 100% profit? Or do they have to take a countdown? They'll have to take a cut, won't they? I'd say... The supermarket mafia. Yeah, also when you're bagging these, let's not forget that it's for a fundraiser. You know it is, so, you know, support them.

I'm saying that maybe they just need a new fundraiser. Other than Bickies. It's like... What badge would you get for getting a... You'd probably just chuck on... Some sort of like corporate entity badge. What badge would you get for getting a biscuit into the supermarket? Some sort of like corporate entity badge. Sew it on. Or just sew on your countdown, a countdown name badge or something.

Oh, that'll work. That'll work. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. There has been an expert on body clocks and sleeping bodies. He's an expert on... Cicadas. Cicadas rhythm. Cic cicadas. Cicadas rhythms. Cicadium rhythms.

It's hard to do a good cicada sound. Because it's them rubbing their legs, eh? It's not like... Right. No, he's a lecturer at the Biomedical Sciences Division at the University of Queensland in Australia, talking about the effects of daylight savings.

So we're a week on. How are we feeling? Tired. Yeah. It's only an hour. It's way harder in summer if you get up early, isn't it, than winter, do you think? What? Or is it just hard all the time?

Like getting up. Getting out of bed. Do you find it easier in winter or summer? Summer. Because at least it's like warm and like when it's raining and cold, you want to stay in bed. I find it hard just any time. Any time.

Well, he's saying that the negative effects of daylight savings can last for months for some people. Okay. One hour's difference can last for months. Yeah, he's saying for some of us it will take until next autumn to get over the effects of daylight savings. Oh, my God. It's starting to go back to that. I wonder if it's also like it's a bit different in jet lag

because the day itself changes. Like it's lighter at night. Yeah, true. And ever more so. Whereas, you know, when it's winter and it starts getting dark at like five, your body starts preparing, right? Yeah. Are you like, because I've had to shift when I have my dinner.

Like, for some reason, I can't get it together because we used to eat really early, like six, five-thirty even, and now it's like, oh my God, it's seven o'clock. Oh yeah, it does, it kind of messes with your day, because you kind of run off the light, right?

Yeah. Oh, the sun's getting darker. It's time to eat. So everything's getting a bit later. Like, oh, my gosh, I'm missing my bedtime. Well, yeah, he's saying that it's all to do with our internal clocks and that because of this, many people suffer over the entire period of daylight savings and never adjust long-term chronic issues. Right.

That can create. Are you still having dinner at rest time time? No, I was a bit like you. I was just past rest time time, maybe 6.30 last week. Oh my gosh. You wouldn't have been able to watch The Chase

while you were eating your dinner. Which is fun. I'm not mocking. That's fun. It is New Zealand's most popular television show. Is it? Yes. The Chase?

Yeah. Is it? Well, probably apart from the news, like after the news. Because isn't the news always the most popular TV? Who doesn't love watching The Chase? You should dig out the TV ratings. I bet it probably rates better than your show. It's because the boomies love it.

Attack me. I didn't attack you. You attacked The Chaser. How dare you attack The Chaser? I was just surprised at a show on at that time of day. It's always a fair go that's the most watched. It's like that 7.30, 10.00 NZ1 situation. Just be careful what you say about The Chaser

because you'll upset a lot of people. No, it's the chase. Stop calling it the chaser. You called it the chaser. The chaser is the person. The chaser is the show. No, you are adding it to an old person. You start calling things whatever you want.

You should be told it's called otherwise. Let's go to Internania who has a crush on the beast. Do you still have a crush on the beast? We revealed this, what, a year and a half ago? I don't have a crush on the beast. Do you still have a crush on the beast? We revealed this, what, a year and a half ago? I don't have a crush on the beast. You said you would go there. I said he's got a lovely smile,

he's very clever, he's one to watch. Very clever. And then you found out he was sleeping with his cousin. That was a bit of a turn off, I'll be honest. Just saying that we all love The Chase. I'm just trying to find its ratings, but I'm not.

No. It's very popular. It's very popular. It's very popular, we can agree on that. And the tipping point, apparently that does it right for itself. Oh yeah,

that's the one with the things that, well they have to answer questions. You don't even have to have sound on for that one. Then they get to drop a coin and you get to yell things like, you dropped it in the wrong column, you moron. You know I like that arcade machine with the crunchy bars and the cherry ripes in it. Yeah. get to drop a coin and you get to yell things like, you dropped it in the wrong column, you moron. I like that. You know, I like

that arcade machine with the crunchy bars and the cherry ripes in it. Yeah. And you put a dollar in it. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello and happy Frapper Day. This day, every year,

October 7, is Frapper Day. Okay. When was the frapper invented, Vaughan? Great question. It was at the Thessaloniki Trade Fair that is in Greece. Right. And it was invented by a Nestle sales rep who was craving some coffee. Yeah.

He took the instant coffee, some cold water and some ice, shook it up rather than stirring. Yeah. And created then on the spot the first frapper. So he didn't use a blender. No. Just a shaker. No. Okay.

And it is distinguished by its use of instant coffee. Oh, okay. Yeah. But they don't, when you get one at Starbucks, don't they just use shots from the machine? They use an espresso shot. But if you get like what has just been described, but with an espresso, it would be called

an iced Americano. Yeah, right. Whereas a frapper, apparently the bubbles that formed on the top of the original were from the freeze-dried, spray-dried instant coffee. It has a lower oil content, and so then the bubbles last. Right.

Yeah. Freeze-dried instant coffee won't cut it. It has to be spray-dried instant coffee, apparently, if you want that legitimate, original. And then Starbucks, of course, have trademarked Frappuccino. Yeah, in summer for a Starbucks Frappuccino. Are you? Because the only time I go to Starbucks, because weed Frappuccino. Yeah, in summer for a Starbucks Frappuccino. Are you? Too creamy.

The only time I go to Starbucks, because we've got, it's New Zealand, we've got amazing coffee shops. Like I could go to both Fortinco. Thank you. Yes. But, you know, lots of great coffee, but no one does a Frappuccino like Starbucks.

It's super sweet. I love a basic white girl Frappuccino in summer. And then they come out with all those fancy flavours. Yeah. Oh, they do. Hold on just a minute. They always do a Christmas one that I like, like a cherry foresty. They do, yeah.

In America, they get into the Halloween, the spiced head. Oh, I'd love to try one of those pumpkin ones. Pumpkinny. Something, something, something. What are you searching? Oh, that's not that much. Why are you searching calories? No, don't tell us calories. No, it's not that much. Why are you searching calories? No, don't tell us calories.

No, it's not that much. Starbucks Frappuccinos. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. And are you looking at tall or? Aren't they like a third? You need a grande at least. What I found was a list of coffees you can get

if you want to keep your calorie count low. Oh, okay. What's that? Yeah, no, Frappuccinos definitely aren't one of them. Oh. Just plain. What's a grande? It's the middle one.

The middle one. Tall grande venti. Okay, that's 600 calories. For what? Like, for a straight up coffee thing? For a vanilla bean creamed frappuccino. It's like a whole hour

on the X-trainer. How many calories did you say? 600. Why did you do that? Yeah, so now I've got to think of myself on the cross trainer for a whole hour just for a delicious... Is that a grande? Why would you do that?

That's not even a venti. No, not even a massive one. But anyway, that's a frappuccino. We're talking about frappers. Okay, right. Which is the non... Am I saying that right or is that like really... Frappé.

Frappé. Frappé because it's F-R-A-P-P-E. So on International Frappe Day, these are the top six frappe flavours that I've just made up, but they probably already exist. Okay. Number six,

strawberry and elderflower frappe. Oh. That would exist. That's why you got real fancy. Oh yeah, no, but I'm trying to, but I bet it already exists.

Yeah, right. Probably does. Alta Flower's a big... Yeah. It's a big vibe right now. Just put that in there. It's a mood. Oh, my God.

Alta Flower. Yeah, here's a recipe for strawberry and Alta Flower frappe. See? You're welcome. Okay, right. Number five on the list of the top six frappe flavours that I've just made up that probably already exist are rose water and cinnamon frappe. Oh, jeez.

That sounds disgusting. It does, actually. I don't know what it would taste like. I just put together two words. Are you just hearing things you've heard at like fancy hipster restaurants and cafes? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretty much.

Number four on the list is, of the top six frappe flavours I'm just making up that probably already exist, cucumber and mint frappe. No. No. No. Not that one? No.

Maybe in a gin, but that's not a frappe. Okay, well, let's try this one then. Number three on the top six frappe flavours I've made up that might already exist, broccoli and sage frappe. Getting very savoury now. No, is that not going to work? No. I just thought for the vegetarians.

Oh, yeah, okay. But your fecal, the vegan frappe. Yeah, yeah, the vegan frappe. Number two on the list. Oh, I don't know is that not going to work? No. I just thought for the vegetarians. Oh, yeah, okay. You're fickle. Yeah. The vegan frappe. Yeah, yeah, the vegan frappe. Number two on the list. Oh, I don't know how this is going to go. Then I'm feeling like I might have.

Vegetarians, who has meat in them? Yeah, have you never had a sausage frappe? Number two, maybe I've lost the betrayal. Salmon and fennel frappe. Because that's like a savoury combination. Yeah, right. Would it blend well with coffee and milk? No, probably not.

Isn't it weird though when you think about it? You eat savoury but you wouldn't drink it. Yeah, you soup. Yeah. Why does it have to be hot? Megan's forgotten about soup. It doesn't have to be. What's that fancy-ass cold soup called? Gaspaccio. No one does it have to be hot? Megan forgot about soup. It doesn't have to be. What's that fancy-ass cold soup called?

I know, but it's not. Gispachio. No one eats it, though. Hey, Megan, remember when you forgot about the soup? No, but it's hot. Remember when you forgot soup existed? Why can't you drink cold? Never mind. Well, no, actually, I think number one.

Number one would be a good frappe flavour that would probably be best served cold. Yep. Top six frappe flavours I've made up that probably already exist for International Frappe Day are a ham and tomato frappe. Ham famously goes very well in drinks. You need cheese in there too. Oh God, I love cheese.

Ham, cheese and tomatoes. Frappe with shavings of parmesan on top. Oh, yes. Why not? I need a cheese board. Yes, bitch. parmesan on top. Oh, yes. Why not? I need a cheese board. Okay. Yes, bitch. I'm on board. I'm thinking Tuesday morning cheese board.

Should I have a cheese night? We could have a cheese board night. No, I want one now. Oh, okay. You don't want to come for cheese night then? I do also want to come for cheese night. Okay, right. One of the few reasons I left home.

A cheese board. Okay, I'll make a cheese board and invite you around. Sounds good. That is today's Top 6. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Loose scenes. Loose. Loose.

Loose scenes under the marquee at Mount Smart. So, listen in Friday night. Flume, Diplo and others. Five people hospitalised. Four, no, sorry, five out of a total of five that were taken by ambulances, four hospitalised.

Right. After taking drugs. Was there some joker up the outside of the tent? Yes, and so that marquee was apparently flown in especially from, it's the largest in Australasia. It's 25 metres high.

We're not going to get our bone back from Hyapool now because someone's bloody footprints are up the side. I couldn't believe those videos.

They were literally running right up the top and then the people were climbing the inside masts as well. They had those kind of, you know those things that they put on power poles

to stop possums getting up? They had like, they had the human version of those but somehow people were just able to get on top of people's shoulders

and climb up somehow. It looks like material. I'm surprised it didn't like fall through. The actual tent itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a super hard

canvas and PVC board. Well, I mean, it is hard, yeah. But I was the same thing. I was like, oh my God, he's going to go through. Imagine if someone

just popped through a tent and fell on you. Popped through a market. So he's like, g'day. Shadoof. It's like, wow. Lands on the DJ set. Well, someone that works here, Bryony, was actually at the show.

I saw her Instagram and some dude had climbed a speaker tower. Fair to say it was pretty loose out there, Bryony. Yeah, it was. It was pretty hectic. You weren't doing any climbing, were you? No way. Were you well behaved? Of course.

I'm always well behaved. Yeah, but you don't know about you Wanaka kids. You moved to the Big Smoke. You're really bloody out of hand down there. Oh, come on, Warren. So was that the craziest thing that was to be seen, that you saw someone climbing the speaker towers? I think so.

I didn't actually know he was on top of the speaker tower until everyone was like, oh my goodness. Because Flynn was actually playing his song on top. And then I turned around and this guy was like 10 metres above. On top. So was that how they were getting to the roof, going up the speaker tower or the mast and then popping up on the top of it?

Or were they climbing? No, they were scaling the outside. I saw a video of a guy scaling the outside of the... Yeah, so I think getting on top of the tent, I think they literally just jumped up. Like, I think that's how they did it. Because you could see this guy was, like, sprinting up to the top

and then this other guy was trying to jump up as well. And we were just like, how are they doing this? But I think they were literally just jumping up. Where was security at this point? There were police, like, around the side of the tent waiting for these guys to run down.

So they'd come down the tent and then the cops would be waiting there and then they'd be like, nah, and they'd turn and boost back up. Like little naughty kids when it's time to leave the playground. You're like, come on, come down the slide. I'd live up the tent now.

They just start taking down the tent. Yeah, I don't know how long they were actually on top of a tent now. Yeah. They just start taking down the tent. Go on. Yeah, I don't know how long they were actually on top of the tent for. They're still there. They might still be out there, yeah. Right. Bryony, there were reports that somebody said 95% of people were on pingas. Oh, gosh.

Was that your observation? No, I don't know. Not that I'm aware of. Okay. All right. Good't know. Not that I'm aware of. Okay. All right. Good to know. Yeah, I'm not sure. Everyone was just having a good time.

Why would people take ping pong balls to the show, Fletch? Is that what you mean by pingers? Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. Because that could be quite fun, like amongst the crowd, trying to get ping pong balls off the ground. No, you'd better to use a big giant beach ball. That actually would be easier. Oh, yeah, if they'd forgotten about that for a good time?

We would like... Thanks, Bryony, for waking up early for us. For that eye witness account. Eye depth. You're welcome. Eye witness report. Thank you. We would like to ask the question now.

What is the craziest thing you have seen at a concert? Go. I was at the Big Day Out front row for my chemical romance. I can't remember what year it was. I'm too young to remember Big Day Outs. Oh yeah, okay. Okay, sweetheart. Lies!

And it was before they had that D formation, so you could the whole crowd was up against the surge forward. Before the D. Oh, you mean the protective... Right. You could go in there.

If you went in there, you meant business. Yeah. Right, okay. The barrier. If you just wanted to watch, you could stand at the back. But that wasn't always there. It was just the whole crowd could surge on the front barrier. And I was against the front barrier when it broke.

And people around me, their legs were broken. Right. And everyone got trampled. I was okay. Okay. What's your craziest thing you've seen at apled. I was okay. Okay. What's your craziest thing you've seen at a concert? I was at a punk rock concert. What?

Bad. Remember when Vaughan was into punk rock and had long hair? And goggles. No, that was retro rock. Oh, right. Prior to that I was into punk rock. Prior to the goggles. Post goggles.

Oh, okay. Pre Led Zeppelin t-shirts. Oh, God. His wife saw a do-up. or post goggles oh okay pre Led Zeppelin t-shirts oh god his wife his wife's a redo up like she's renovating their house at the moment she loves renovations she started with me

yeah and then moved on to houses um it was no effects yeah at the power station in Auckland and this guy climbed up the speakers

and he indicated that he was gonna jump yeah and Fat Mike the lead singer's like catch this guy and this guy jumped and everyone was like nope and stood to jump. Yeah. And Fat Mike, the lead singer, was like, catch this guy. And this guy jumped. And everyone was like, nope.

Stood to the side. And this guy just went, the doof on the sound of him hitting the deck. Yeah, right. And everyone was like, and then he got up. He's like, I'm okay. And we're just like, how are you okay?

The craziest thing I've ever seen was at a festival in Brisbane and a guy urinated in the row in the seat. Just got it out and urinated behind everyone. Yeah, I know. Wow. Where was this? Brisbane.

Because remember that game of that NRL game and that old woman, someone had it on video, that old woman just popped her pants down and piddled in the stadium rather than having a go and then gave herself a shake and pulled her pants back up. And it was all on camera. Oh my God. I think that's just maybe a Brisbane thing.

I'm not too sure. Brisbane. But we want to ask you, what is the craziest thing you've seen at a concert? Give us a call, 0800DARLSATM. You can text as well,

9696. I don't know if, I don't know, what are the craziest things you can see at a concert? People falling off things? People, I mean, we've just come up with three, haven't we?

Yeah. Everyone's been to a concert and it was probably somebody's crazy. Oh, there'll be some great stories from R&B. That place goes, as soon as it hits dark. Good luck. It goes well before it goes dark. Oh, yeah, that person got run over in a tent.

Remember you saw that? Yeah. Yeah. No, I didn't see it. I heard it. That was after. What did you... No, that was there. When then Remember you saw that? Yeah. Yeah. No, I didn't see it. I heard it. That was after. What did you? No, that was there.

When then we left, it was scary. Okay. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Wanting to know from you this morning, the worst thing that you've seen at a concert or a gig or a festival after the Listen In concert gig on Friday night with people climbing the giant marquee

and the speaker towels and the poles. So some text messages in. At a Metallica concert 20 years ago, people were climbing the tent poles. We worked out afterwards it would have been at least 40 foot up. Yep. So what's that?

Just under 10 metres. Because this was 25 metres, the tent. The top of that tent was. And then, you know, that Metallica Ninja Star logo, if you don't, just think of like an anonymous Bogans calf tattoo. Probably that. Okay, right.

Probably that. Yeah. And they were hanging off that and they had joints in their mouth and everyone was just like, that person's going to fall. Yeah. Because what can you do?

You can't really stop a concert, can you? And it's like, get down and we're not playing. You can, but I don't think Metallica's going to. If Metallica did that, wouldn't have it. Yeah. Exit light. And hold on, hold on. Hop down from there.

Stop being bloody stupid. You're going to hurt yourself, fella. Slide back down that pole and take yourself very carefully, please. Somebody text messaged in saying they watched the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Hyde Park in London. Oh, okay. And what the two ladies were getting up to on the blanket beside them was probably the craziest thing they've ever seen.

At a concert? At an open-air daytime park concert in London. They were just like, we're fairly open-minded people, but even we were like, I don't know if that's... Because you love a PDA, Megan, but you draw the line there, eh? I think so. You think so? Well, a couple of vinos, who knows?

A couple of vinos, a lovely warm London afternoon. We went to that Villa Maria concert on a picnic blanket. Yeah. God, I was... You didn't say I heard picnic blanket, did you? No, we were sharing the blanket. Whose blanket was it? Megan's brought the blanket.

Oh, you don't know what's on that blanket. Now I'm worried. Somebody said at the Glastonbury, I was at three tents down, someone gave birth. What? We heard a bit of a kerfuffle and some noise, but we had no idea it was that serious. It could be premature. It could have happened. Yeah, it could have come over.

Got real excited with whatever was on at the time. Somebody else said, I was at a concert in Edinburgh in Scotland and the Scar People, they must have a better name than that. Do you mean Scar Band? Yeah, right. Scar People and the Skin right. Scar people.

And the skinheads. It turned into this mass brawl. A trestle table was overturned and used as shelter, like in a cop movie. And beer bottles were being thrown. It was absolutely insane trying to get out of that. Yeah, lots of really crazy stories

from concerts. 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. Oh, big weekend on the tools of mine.

So you're doing renovations at the moment? I was promised we're going to be little ones. I know. Because I was like, why are you doing all this work? It looks so full on. And you're like, it's just a little reno.

This is Sade's little reno. This is also the same Sade that when we moved into this place in December said, we'll live here for a couple of years before we decide what we'll do. You've been fooled, my friend. Absolute fool.

That's what you say to get the house and then once you're in, you're like, but then you're not allowed to buy a power tool. How does that work? I always buy a power tool. Yeah, what are you talking about? He's always getting in trouble for buying them.

Well, one of the power tools I bought came in super handy at the weekend. Right. The mangle grinder. Okay. With a diamond encrusted blade. Not like Megan's imagining, like it's really bling and it's not.

It's just cutting through grout. God, getting up tiles is awful. Don't put tiles down. Ugly 90s tiles. 80s tiles, whatever they were. See, I saw this on your story. You had to rip them up

with a big metal thing. Crowbar. Oh yeah, it was a crowbar. Yes. Yeah, the crowbar was the handiest. And then somebody said, what you want to do? Because I put a video up

and they were all like smashed because I was just like smashing them off bit by bit. Someone's like, get cut around the grout. Oh, yeah, right. I was like, right-o, chief. And I did that and it worked a treat. Wait, so you started lifting up your tiles just by smashing and not looking into a good way to do it?

No, no, no. I knew the good way to do it was you had to get the leverage off. And every now and then you'd pop it and because the grout's the weakest point of the tile it would like pop pop a whole tile off but it was parts where it was less than ideal. You've hurt yourself haven't you? Well I've got just

yes. So it was all day Saturday and then all day Sunday lifting the tiles and the dining room and the kitchen and the hallway and this weird little room that nobody can explain and the laundry and so yeah Saturday Saturday night I woke up and I just had numb hands. And it sounds like from what Megan described when she had her carpool karaoke tunnel syndrome. Yeah.

Yeah. So you did one hard day of work in your entire life. No, because it happened a little bit. I dug all this piping out a little while ago. I've been on the tools a lot lately. So you've done two days of hard work. No, I aggravated it initially replacing all the screws in the roof. So let's say all up

about a week's hard actual work and you've got carpal tunnel syndrome. Yeah, I'm going to need a week off. I'm going to need a couple of weeks off, boss. Can you fill out this ACC form? You just need to talk. You don't need your hands for this job. Excuse me. Did I get time?

You're just copying me. I get shingles. You get shingles, except you need time off and you tell everyone how awful it was. I get carpal tunnel and I'm here all the time. Don't talk about it. Now you're going to get carpal tunnel. You need two weeks off and you're going to tell us about it for Uber. All this is telling me is that you two are the bung ones.

The bung. Yeah, but I got it from you two are the bung ones. The bung. Yeah, but I got it from like slamming up tiles and ripping things up. She painted a wall and she's out. I think what this is telling us... Oh, I was going to say. Non-impactful painting with a roller and she's like, I'm broken.

Boss, I'm broken. I think all this is telling us is that we're not cut out for actual actual jobs manual labour absolutely but you know what I learnt because we had to move all the stuff out of the laundry

you can attach a garden hose to a washing machine great why did we need to know that well because I had to move the washing machine

you should see this bloody Jim Bob situation I've got going on in the garage for the washing machine I've got a video of it on my Instagram. It's stressing me out even just looking at it. I've sent you to break about Vaughan's flooded house tomorrow.

We can talk about that. That's the garage, man. Lotto Powerball is at $28 million. So this is when a lot of people start jumping on the bandwagon. This is when everybody wants to live their Trev dream. Yeah. Trev from Te Kauhata. Trev from, this is going back a few years.

He won the huge 1A, one of the biggest ever. Was it? Because there was a family that won 36, but they split it between like four of them. Boo hoo. Boo. But they kind of kept their anonymity. Yeah. split it between like four of them boo hoo boo but they were all they kind of kept

their anonymity yeah but I think Trev won 26 million dollars and he was working at Countdown at the time and famously told John Campbell

he'd be back at work on Monday and everyone's like bullsh he's like I bet you 26 million dollars to John Campbell and then he wasn't

at work on Monday and John Campbell never eyebrows them I would have been like give me my money yeah we had a deal there made on national television I bet when Campbell Live got cancelled John Campbell never eyebrows them. I would have been like, give me my money. Yeah, we had a deal there made on national television. I bet when Campbell Live got cancelled, John Campbell was like, I wish I'd gone harder on that.

Getting my share of that $26 million off that guy. Because he's been in the news every time he spends on anything. Well, the latest over the weekend, he got divorced, but he didn't have a prenup. Oh, Holla, we want prenup. We want prenup. Yeah. It's just something that you need to have.

That's the next line. Because when they leave your ass. You both gave me blank stares. No, because when they leave your ass, they're going to leave with hands. Yeah, okay. Okay, well, I mean, half of that's still pretty decent, isn't it? Well, who knows how much was left? Yeah, well, this is true.

He's a mystery man. Yeah. So off the back of the Power still pretty decent, isn't it? Well, who knows how much was left? Yeah, well, this is a mystery man. So off the back of the Powerball jackpot, I thought we could go through the top five luckiest lotto shops in the country for people jumping on the bandwagon. Yeah, right. For if you've bought somewhere else and you thought maybe you'd try a different shop. I don't know. Because I've got tickets to last two times

because I do get excited when I see all the posters and ads. I'm like, I've got this. And then, like, I lose that money. I'm so gutted. I could never be a gambler. Because I lost $20 and I'm like, no, but that's the gambler. They've got to win it back. I know, but I could have spent that on, like, delicious cheeses or biscuits or chocolates.

You're really on the cheese today, eh? Now I've got a hankering for cheese. I'm going to be grumpy tomorrow because I'm going to have bad cheese dreams. Yes. If I have cheese tonight. Good. But yeah, it's just money I could have. I know, I'm the same.

I need to spend it on tangible goods. But to be honest, it's $28 million on Wednesday and I'm probably going to buy a ticket. If you win, can you give me something? I'm not. Because remember that time I gave my friend $2 at the pokies and he won $800 and wouldn't give me any? You would already have won and you would give Megan something. Because it's my money. Well, I don't like to enter any

arrangements pre-me winning. Can I have $5,000? Absolutely. Okay. And that's all you're getting. I can't believe you shopped for only $5,000. How much would you like, Horton? How much do you think you're going to get out of him? $2 million. I'll give you $4 million. Yep.

Yes. You are such a... $5,000 is a lot of money right now. I would have given you $4 million. Oh, can you give me $4 million? No, but you asked for $5,000. That's all you need. You're a humble person.

$5 million. Not greedy. That's good for me. $2 million? No. Can I have $1 million? $2 million? Who do you think you are?

I've known Horne longer, to be honest. Five million for every year that I've worked with you? It's been a punish. If I gave you some of my lotto winnings, would I still get a discount at your cafe? Because I don't even get a discount now. If you gave me some of your lotto winnings, I'll give you a discount.

I'd buy their cafe on the condition that they had to keep managing it, and then I'd pay them less than a living wage. I would ruin so many of my friends' lives. You'd have no choice. But I'd sell it to you for like five minutes. I'd buy that

whole block of shops that your business is in and put your rent up. I'd buy the houses around yours and then buy air horns and set them off at all times of the day. Would you do that? Remotely via an app so I didn't have to hear them.

I would. Ridiculous thing. That's the thing. If I was really, really rich, I would just entertain myself for days. I'd buy a house and put a moat around it with one of those drawbridges.

I would wait till a friend of mine went away for the weekend and I told him this I'd put a concrete block wall

all around his house 12 foot tall. How do you get back into your house when there's a cinder block wall? Council will make you tear it down. That's his problem

that's his wall. That's my gift. He didn't want the wall. It was a gift. How dare you? That's why we're not winning. We don't deserve this money. You're like, you think Trev might have blown some money on some cars and stuff. You ain't seen nothing. Yeah, so

we've dug up a list of the luckiest lotto stores. The top five. I mean, just in case this helps. The fifth luckiest lotto shop is Grierton Lotto in Tauranga and Mall Books and Lotto in Wellington. They both had 27 wins. Okay. Wow. Okay, that's a lot.

Tied in fourth place, Coastlands Lotto in Paraparaumu and Hornby Mall Lotto, 31. Pack and Save Rickerton have had 32 wins. That's in Christchurch. Okay. Third luckiest lotto shop. Nelson is 34 winning tickets. Richmond nine and day. Richmond nine and day.

Everyone in Nelson knows this is the spot. Do you know when I worked in Nelson on the local radio station, we had to call them once a week and do a chat with them. I know, I heard you. And they'd always be like. It was as good as you imagined. What would the chat be about? Talk about their specials and stuff.

Their specials is the night and day. Like they'd chat be about? Talk about their specials and stuff. The specials are the nice thing. They'd be like, oh, the biscuits are cheap this week. And then they'd be like, oh, and Lotto's big and we're the luckiest Lotto shop. And you'd be like, oh, God, I hate my job. Yeah, horrible. Yeah. Yeah.

But they were luckiest for a long time. It was a riveting chat. And they went on for like five minutes. And then they wonder why local radio died. Would they be like, Slushy Machine's working again. If anyone's in the know for a raspberry slushy. Lovely slices and grab a slushy. And you'd just be like, FM out.

That's what you'd be thinking in your head. And number one. Well, maybe we need to bring it back. We're 13th in Nelson. I know. Your radio station back in the day rated better than we do. The 13th. Yeah, well, I can at least, I can say I've been on our-

Get them on the phone. Yeah. And number one is Unikem Stratford Lodge Pharmacy in Hastings. 47 wins. They're number one by a lot. 13 wins more. Is that right? 34.

Yeah, that's a lot. Way more. 47. Okay. Well, that's nice. Hastings has got something going for it. I'm a bitch. That's rude.

Don't be a bitch. Well, until now. What did Hastings do to you? It was always Napier's ugly sister, wasn't it? Oh, ouch. It was. That's a vehicle.

That's born. That's born. Any complaints. At Zetamonline.com. The Great Nelson Preset Reset. So, we have decided to launch the Great Preset Reset. This is our plan to not be the 13th favourite breakfast show in Nelson. Or third to last.

Out of 15. I mean, I'm not bitter about it. No, not at all. Not at all. 13th. What sounds better? Third to last or 13th? 13th because there could be lots. I mean, they're both 13th sounds better.

They're both rubbish. So we talked to a marketing professor, an expert, a lecturer, Kev, on Friday. And he mentioned some P's. Yeah. Can't remember any of them now apart from one. And that one is presents He said we needed to be there Yep

So we are going to be there We're going to be popping down to Nelson Yes When? Great question I think probably the end of next week would work Not this week's too soon Because they haven't even organised anything

So we know that we need presents. Yes. So we'll go down. Presents with a T? No, presents with a C. Us being there. Okay. Yeah.

But we probably should take presents. Sure. The other form of presents. We need to work out exactly what we want to do because your big idea, Vaughn, is that we make some kind of police checkpoint. Yeah, we stop people and we change their radio stations and then smash their radio's screens so they can't see

how to change. Because I wanted to rip off the knobs but everyone's like well, not too many car radios have knobs anymore. Could we just somehow glue the buttons so they don't work? Like super glue? Like squirt it into the console somehow? So it's always stuck on us?

You could. Yeah. You might want to leave the on-off button available and the volume. Yeah. So I don't want them to be able to turn us off.

You know when you've got an old person in your life and they touch the buttons on the remote so you tape over all the buttons except for on-off and the volume

so that's the only thing that they can change yeah right that's effectively what we need to work out how to do in car radios well our mates

at Grabber Seat have come on board and are hooking us up with some flights so we're going to get there because we're low on budget we're low on budget they recently also had

a change of fortune in Nelson well yeah they did yeah one of their competitors dropped out so that would be another way

we could go up a bit if some competitors just stopped doing radio in Nelson. They accidentally dropped out somehow. That would be... Oh, I like where this is going. Are we talking industrial science? Because if we are, I'm on board. And I think if we're going to be there,

we should probably do a Chichingo bingo as well. Like, if we're going to be there. we should probably do a Chichingo bingo as well. Like, if we're going to be there. I gave away the balls. Right, okay. The bingo balls. The bingo balls. You didn't think maybe we'd reuse those again? I just thought we'd buy some more.

I gave them to some orphans who are running a gambling night. You know me and orphans and gambling. Yeah, you love to help out. Yeah, so I was like, no, you take those. Go on, get out of here, you little rascals. Producer Caitlin, do we know where we'll hold a bingo or we'll just find somewhere? I'm still so annoyed at Vaughan for giving the bulls away.

We worked so hard on that. Caitlin, I thought you of all people would appreciate orphans who wanted to hold a gambling and I. Okay, well, we don't have the money to buy a new machine, so we'll just have to do another, like, can we just do songs? Like, play songs, and they cross them off the board like that. Oh, yeah. How's that for an idea? That sounds great. We do have access

to songs, that's one thing we do have. Great idea, okay, problem solved. Now, we need a bar because we're low on budget, and so we won't get per diems. So we're packing sandwiches. I'll make sandwiches the night before. And whatever bar sees we can do bingo there, they've got to give us a free dinner

voucher. Or at least one drink each. And if no bars come forward, because again, 13th favourite radio station brick for show. Who wouldn't want this publicity? We'll have to have it at Megan's parents garage. So you're going to have to get your dad to move the mower out

and the cars and stuff. Mum will make casserole for everyone. And push up everything against the wall so we can get one of those white plastic picnic tables in the middle. Yeah, great. Is that all? That sounds good. Oh, my God.

This is not good. It's funny because it's kind of true. This is coming together. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So a group of seven friends have pulled their money and have got a mortgage and bought a mansion. A mansion? A mansion.

This is in China and it's kind of out in the country by the looks of the photos. A Chinese mansion? Yeah, this is what it looks like. Oh, wow. Okay. I quite like the architecture there. And they all look like maybe in their 20s and. Yeah, this is what it looks like. Oh, wow. Okay. I quite like the architecture there. And they all look like maybe in their 20s and 30s.

How many are there? That's a lot. Seven. And how many bedrooms? Oh, that looks more than seven. So enough bedrooms. Is somebody already having sleepovers with their partner who didn't chip in for anything?

Probably. So US, about five and a half, 550,000 US000 for this mansion. So it's kind of in the country. That's cheap. They get it off AliExpress. Probably. And then they were waiting for four years for it to turn up.

Yeah. And then it was there and it was a different size, but that's okay. Yeah, but they love it. And they are all friends and love hanging out with each other. Had they lived together previously? It doesn't... Like, had they flattered? I think some of them had lived together.

Others hadn't. But they've just said that they've all been best mates for a long time. Yeah. Since they met, like, anywhere from 15 to 20 years ago. So they must be actually in their 40s, maybe, some of them. Or they met at school. Yeah, but they don't look... They all kind of look about 30s, 20s, late 20s.

And yeah, they just plan to hang out and just all live together. And I'm like, do they still like... Nothing will go wrong. All have to go to work, they all have a car park. It doesn't say. I mean, it's very spacious around, so I don't think car parking would be... And it's in the country. Yeah, see, I don't think living with your best friends is a great idea

because... And that's what I wanted to ask this morning because you hear of people that, because, you know, it is tough to get into a house in a lot of places in New Zealand. Yeah. So a lot of people do, you know, get together with friends and buy places but then, you know, they can go off on their different life path, can't they? Yeah. Or

they end up hating their friend because they don't do the dishes. Because famously we stayed at an Airbnb once rather than like separate rooms at a motel. And that was a real punish. Oh, us on the show. Yeah. Only because Anya snores.

No, Anya. I slept in the room with Anya. We could hear her snoring down the hallway. Excuse me. It's not my fault that I had the common cold, all right? I should be commended for going on the work trip despite being sick. Thank you very much. Nothing on Vaughan who commandeered the biggest room and then like, God, you make some noise.

I do not know how your wife comes up with it. Why do you walk so heavy? Stomp, stomp, stomp. I don't walk heavy. And just every conversation you have, you hear from anywhere in the place. You ring your wife and we could all hear you. G'day, mate. G'day, mate.

I shan't be shamed for living like the king I was in the largest room. Yeah. You're all just jealous. And he's got zero tolerance for anyone. I think it would be hard for us all to live in a mansion together. Yeah, no. I mean. It wouldn't work.

But even could you live with your best friend, Ali, Megan? I don't know. I reckon we probably could. Yeah, right. But then you just never know until you get together and you realise that you've each got bad habits that you hate and you never knew about it because you didn't live together. And you don't get that time apart.

Yeah. That you had when you were best friends. So this is what I wanted to ask this morning. Did living together ruin a friendship? Like you were best friends. So this is what I wanted to ask this morning. Did living together ruin a friendship? Like you were best friends, you moved in, you didn't have to buy a house like these girls did, but maybe you just went flatting. Yeah.

And did it ruin a friendship? Like what did you find out about your best friend or a friend when you moved in? And maybe you no longer talk to them. Maybe it was enough to absolutely end the friendship. Because I had a friend when I was studying and she like was beautiful and like presented so nicely. Like her hair was always done and like nicest clothes and stuff.

Even without like face tune. Like actual beautiful. Yeah, actual beautiful. And then you go around to her house and she lived in a rubbish dump. Like her house was just like she lost her guinea pig in the house. She had a guinea pig? She lost her guinea pig in this,

like, pit of a house. So this guinea pig just went rogue. Wow. But it was just under piles of rubbish and clothes. Yeah,

but she emerged from that rubbish every day looking just wonderful. But you would never have known that until you, like, moved in with her.

Exactly. Did she ever find the guinea pig? I think she did. Dead? Yeah. Oh, no. Because I was going to say, the guinea pig was like Lara Croft Tomb Raider.

The guinea pig died. Megan, you can't notebook us like that on a Monday morning. That's a sad detail. She got another one. She got another one. I think that one survived. She should have got the other one when she knew the other one was still alive and lost. Because they get lonely, don't they?

Yeah. Yeah. They could have teamed up. So 0800-DARLS-A-DAM. Give us a call or text in 9696. We need moving in with a friend. Ruin a relationship. A friendship.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. A group of seven friends have brought a house together. Bought a house. Not just a house. You bring. They bought a house together.

Bought a house. They all chipped in and now they're all living together. In a mansion. You've got a mortgage between seven of you. And then like what if one of them wants to go and get married? Like do you have to buy them out of it? Yeah. It just sounds like a lot of admin.

And then something gets damaged and they're like, who did that? Not me. And then arguments and who's going to fix it? Do they all have to pay to fix it? And all of a sudden you are in your friend's space 24-7. Yeah. And you realise they're actually a bit of a dick sometimes. Yeah.

So we want to know, when did moving in with a friend ruin a friendship? Now, we're going to start with an anonymous caller. You moved in with your bestie. How long did it last? It lasted three weeks. So how long had you been best friends for before you moved in together? When I say like six years maybe.

Oh wow. Was this like fresh out of school or had you been like flatting for a little while when you decided to move in together? So it was me and my partner, we bought a house and then thought we'd get the extra help by having someone else move in together. So it was both of our first times moving out

so there was three of us in the house. Oh, so your first time flatting, really? Yeah. But you owned the place? Yeah, I owned the place. That's got to be the worst because now that's your house. That's not just a mononymous person's flat that you're paying money for every week. You've got, you own that house.

Yeah, it was really awkward. So what did they do? How did the friendship end? Well, when we first moved out, the mum said to me, her mum said to me, good luck. And I was like, okay, that's a bit weird. Red flag number one. Yeah. And then it was three weeks in and I think it was over, we bought groceries together. So we decided the personal stuff, like deodorant, stuff like that, you buy on your own. We didn't

buy it for her and then she kicked up a fuss. So in three weeks, she was ready to move out. Oh, yeah. See, she came straight from home when mum was buying everything and expected to be mum. Did she go back to mum? Yeah, she went straight back to mum and we haven't spoken for seven years.

Oh, whoa. And you know what? That's one thing that so many of these text messages are saying. It's once it's over, it's not... It's done. Yeah. It's not saved in any way of these text messages are saying. It's once it's over, it's not... It's done. Yeah.

You can't go back. It's not saved in any way. Emily, you did this. When did moving in with a friend ruin a friendship? Yes, I actually moved in with two of my best friends at the time. Yeah. And it was fine at the beginning, but I think just three's a crowd and it was always someone was left out, and it just didn't end well.

Yeah, right. Are you guys, all three of you, not speak to each other anymore, or? Me and one of my best friends still speak to each other, but we don't speak to the other one. So you two are still all right, and the third one's on there. Thanks, you're cool, Emily.

It's crazy how many people are saying that, eh? It's done. Yeah. Moving in was the thing that made it finish. I lived with a good friend who spent the flat account money on porn and cake. Sounds like a great time. What a combo, what a combo. But they say always at the same time.

Yeah. What's wrong with that? I've had my eyes opened to a new and exciting way to enjoy cake. Okay. Wow. Interesting. All your senses. I had a friend that broke up with her partner,

and I said, oh, you can stay with us while you get back on your feet. It was only meant to be two weeks. She stayed six months. Every night she would party. She could polish off half a bottle of vodka in a night. Invite random people over to our house without asking. Never cleaned up. The final straw was finding drugs being used in the kitchen.

Oh, wow. Great friend. Great friend. We're not friends anymore. I lived in a flat with two guys and two girls, and everyone was sleeping with everyone it was great

swapped every few days oh wow oh okay but did it ruin friendships so the guys were sleeping with the guys and the girls were sleeping with the girls

and the guys were sleeping with the guys and the girls and the girls wait did the is there a badge sounds like a very fluid flat yeah

and then it went bad after a year and everybody stopped talking for about six months, but we're slowly starting to be friends again. Right. My friend went absolutely bonkers when we lived together. She devised a spreadsheet

so we'd all pay for our individual portions of power consumption. One day I came home to a note on the ice cube saying, if you don't fill this with water, you are not allowed to use these. That is annoying. That is very annoying. They sound like fun. My story is similar to Megan's. My friend was. That is very annoying. That sounds like fun. My story is similar to Megan's.

My friend was absolute filth. We didn't know until we moved in. She would cook a roast lamb but then leave it sitting on the bench for 72 hours was her record. Now is that... The dish or the actual cooked lamb? The leftovers and the dish.

Oh, okay. How long is that edible for? Is 72 hours the window of the cut-off? I don't know. Unrefrigerated? No. No, it'd be a lot before that. Yeah, no, lots of people said that their friendships were dissolved

once they tried living together. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the inventor of the jacuzzi. A jacuzzi? Spubble. Spubble. Yeah, spubble. Spubble.

Spubble. Spubble. Megan, you've famously got hot tub folliculitis, haven't you, from a jacuzzi? Well, there was a bunch of us that got it. We all got in the spa pool together at an Airbnb. And, yeah, the bacteria blocked our pores and you get like a rash. What was happening in that spa pool, eh? Nasty rash.

What, during or beforehand? Just what's happened in the lifetime of that water. It must have been something pretty manky. It's terrifying when you turn on the jets and foam comes out. You turn on the jets and the spa actually coughs. Like you can't furball. You're like, shit, spa didn't drink the water. Now I'm right.

I'm right.'m rolling power on that's legit what it was like today's fact of the day is about the inventor of the jacuzzi okay his name is

Candido Enzo Jacuzzi he got to name it after his last name yep I kind of figured that was where this was going

did you I didn't know I had no idea that the jacuzzi I just figured it was an Italian word for like spa bath. But it's not.

It's now just synonymous with. Candido. Yeah, right. Was an Italian immigrant to the United States of America. Candido. He invented the Jacuzzi whirlwind bath because his 15 month old, his at the time when he invented it, his son was 15 months old.

Yep. Kenny. Kenny Jacuzzi. That's such a great name. Kenny Jacuzzi was born with rheumatoid arthritis. Right. So he developed a pump that enabled a whirlpool to be created in a bath by way of directional jets.

Yeah. And he invented the first self-contained jacuzzi tub and filed the patent for it. Well, like when you do a whirlpool in a pool, you run like run one way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it goes around and it's sort of relaxing. Right.

So this. I've just gone to Facebook to look up people with the last name Jacuzzi. That's what I was doing. Have you found Kenny Jacuzzi? Abel Jacuzzi. Imagine. There aren't many, to be honest.

No, these are mostly French people. Did you say it was French or Italian? Italian, no, Italian. These people are all in France that I'm finding here. Oh, no, these are, you don't know if they're using it as a fake last name. A few people with it as a first name. Frederick Jacuzzi. In Queensland, there's a Frederick.

In Queensland, Australia? Yeah. Jacuzzi. Yeah, a lot of people in France have it as a last name. In Queensland, there's a Frederick... In Queensland, Australia? Yeah. Hmm. Jacuzzi. Yeah, a lot of people in France have it as their last name. Okay. But I'm not seeing any in Italy. So the other Jacuzzi was a company, and you know, most well-known now.

It does toilets. Oh, yeah, okay. It does the hot tubs, the Jacuzzi whirlwind bathtubs. But it's had forays into other areas. Yeah. It was founded in 1915. Seven Italian brothers, they made wooden propellers under military contracts for planes at the time.

Right. And then they thought, well, if we're making the propellers, why don't we just have a go at making some planes? They made a limited run of planes. In 1923, there was a bad, no, 1921, sorry. One of their prototype planes crashed and killed everybody on board and they were like, should we just go back to propellers? And their short foray into aircraft didn't last any longer than that.

But now, of course, most well known for the hot tubs. The hot tubs. The jacuzzi. Yeah. It's amazing because if you invented something, imagine if we had to sit in the Smith. How plain and gross would that be? Yeah, it lacks a certain...

A Jenny Seacraft. Even the Vaughan. I wouldn't want to sit in the Vaughan. Hey, do you guys want a Vaughan? No. Or do you guys want a Smith? Should I turn on the Vaughan? Get it warmed up for later? Yeah, do you want the bubbles while you sit want a Vaughan? No. Or do you guys want a Smith? Should I turn on the Vaughan? Get it warmed up for later?

Yeah, do you want the bubbles while you sit in the Vaughan? No. No, you're not a Hayman. I don't even want to get in it, to be honest. I've spoken about how I hate when people turn the bubbles on. Don't turn the bubbles on. No, it's going to sound a bit pricey. No, yeah, okay.

Turn the bubbles on. If they want the bubbles on, they're allowed to have the bubbles on. That's why there's the button for the bubbles. So today's fact of the day is the inventor of the jacuzzis. Last name was Jacuzzi. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. If you've ever been out and needed to catch an Uber home, you kind of have to time your run.

It's another great reason to go home early like me, is that you can beat the surge. I hate it when I'm at a game or a concert and I see people leaving early just to get out of there. Like, especially before the encore or before big songs. It's like, why did you even come? Yeah, because usually the encore is like the biggest hit. We'll all get out of this arena on time.

You know, like... It's always the boomers. Come on, let's go now. Let's beat the rush. Let's get back to the car. I thought you were one to do that. No, not if it's like a concert or something. I mean, maybe a sports game if we're losing.

I'll be like, all right, well, we're done. They can basically turn around, though. Well, I know. That's why I'll only go when I definitely know we've lost. Okay. Like a cricket game or something. But, yeah, concerts, I'm like, just stay. It's like, you know.

I mean, I'll get a fast walk on at the end, don't get me wrong. I'll push past people. Throw some elbows. Weave. Yeah, I'll weave. fast walk on at the end. Don't get me wrong. I'll push past people. Throw some elbows. Weave. Weave. I'm a good weaver. Well, the show that was on Listen In at Mount Smart that we talked about earlier in the show,

some people caught a ride there. Yep. And it cost them $10.86. They used a 20% discount code. They took an Ola. I've been using that because they give drivers a bit more money. Yeah.

So they're like, well, that's good. That's affordable. Split, you know, between us. We'll be right when it comes to the end of the night. But when it came to the end of the night at one o'clock, there was no Ola to be found. Okay. So they instead opted for an Uber

and it initially quoted them $52, which is over four times what they paid to the journey there. And they're like, well, that's high, but we've got to get home. Well, when it only costs you $10. So the journey was 5.8 kilometers. Yeah. And they got charged $148.17. Now, there has been a bit of a mistake because they said they've got a screen capture of the map.

And the journey included. It's like the Uber driver was in downtown Auckland and said, journey starts, or this is the pickup point. So they ended up paying for the Uber to come to Mount Smart to pick them up and then take them back to where they wanted to go. That's not how it works.

No, I know. They've got the map there and they said, well, we weren't in town when we wanted to be picked up. not how it works. No, I know. They've got them up there and they said, well, we weren't in town when we wanted to be picked up. We were at Mount Smart just down the road. And so they got charged and it wasn't until they got out

and they got the notification saying ride completed, $148. Are they getting a refund? Have Uber commented? You'd want at least a refund for the part of the journey. You weren't even in the car. So I, I don't know, I used,

I did this one event with some friends. We had surge pricing. It was going to be like two and a half or three times as whatever it was. So we're like, let's just walk down the road. And we walked down the road, maybe not even a K, 500 metres, 600 metres. And the surge just disappeared.

Because I'm pretty sure it's like on the geo area. Yeah, there's definitely surge areas. So if it knows you're at an event where there's a lot of people wanting an Uber, I think you're more likely to get the charge. So sometimes maybe walk out down the road and then try it. And also you're more likely to maybe see a taxi as well that you can flag

down. I've definitely done that too. Yeah, you don't have to walk too far. And you say to the taxi driver, well, the Uber wasn't going to take me for this much. They love that. They do, they love that. They love a little bit of on-the-spot bargaining. That's it, we're definitely eating cheese after the show today

because this is at least the third time we've spoken about cheese. I've said to Vaughan I'm having a cheese night tonight, but you don't want to come. Monday night cheese night. Well, I've just decided I'm going to have mozzarella Monday. Sure. No, I don't think I'd get mozzarella on a cheese board. Is there a tea cheese?

We've got to come up with two tea cheeses because of Thursday's coming around the corner. Wednesday, do you know a W cheese? White stone. That's a brand. That's a brand. I don't think we can go there. No, F doesn't work. F's a brand. That's a brand. I don't think we can go there. No, F doesn't work. Wamajana.

Wamajana cheese. Right. But apparently we are eating cheese wrong. How are we eating cheese wrong? There's no such thing as wrong eating cheese. So there's seven things we're doing wrong with the way we're eating cheese. Who says, by the way? Cheese mongers.

Oh, cheese mongers. That's what they're called, aren't they? Like a fish monger. Cheese mongers. A cheese monger. Well, a monger just meant that you're a monger. That's mountain. Mountain, yeah.

Monger just meant that you doubt in it, right? Fish monger. Fish monger. Yeah, cheese monger. You specialise in it. What other mongers are there? Bread monger. No, that's a baker.

Fish monger. cheese monga. Nah, I'm out. There must be other mongas. Fish monga. Types of monga. What does monga mean? Types of monga. Collecting or making.

No, it just means you sell it, don't you? Oh, mutton monga. Mutton monga. A war monga, a whore mong you? Oh, mutton monger. Mutton monger. A war monger. A whore monger. What? A scare monger. A costa monger is a fruit.

So the people that sell fruit are costa mongers. And a fowl monger, what do you think a fowl monger is? Chicken. Chickens. Poultry. Animal skins. Ew. Iron monger.

Pear monger. That must have something to do with pears. Richie monger? Sure. I had to google that I'll be completely honest with you I was like I know there's one All black

A relic monger Deals in relics Right I guess in antique Have you said Listen today If you sell something You're a monger

You're a monger Yeah You're like If you work at Warehouse stationery Today you're a stationery monger Am I a coffee monger You're definitely A monger. Yeah. You're like, if you work at Warehouse Stationery today, you're a stationery monger. Am I a coffee monger? You're definitely a monger or something.

That's for sure. I think that's pronounced monger. Monger, yeah. Okay. I'm not going to tell you how I'm eating cheese wrong now. Oh, please. Oh, please. Please, Tavis.

Okay, you should use different knives for different cheeses. I think that's like cross-contamination. That's for like real life. Yeah, come on. I'm eating it so quick there's no chance for cross-contamination. That's for like real life. Yeah, come on. I'm eating it so quick there's no chance for cross-contamination. I don't actually have a cheese knife.

I just use knives that I've already... You've simply got to have a cheese knife. You simply must because I've got the two prongs on the end that you can put the cheese on with.

But when you have a cheese butter it's not like you have three different ones. You've got one cheese knife and then you have a butter knife. I'm going to have to buy a cheese knife if I'm going to do a cheese knife. I've got three cheese knives.

Were they gifts? Yeah, it came for all three of us and I just stole all of it. That's pretty well. I've got three of them. I'm unacceptable because I really need a cheese knife. Do you know, he always does the interception. He goes down there and intercepts our mail. Because when it comes to all three of us, I'm like, do you guys want chips?

No, no. You don't say that. Fletch is like, don't even tempt me. You don't say that please just like don't even tempt me you don't say that because on friday you gave them all the way and then i was like actually i could have had a bag of chips after you'd given them all away but you do this classic thing you've you've set the bar or what we all get and before he leaves he goes down there and skiddly deez and takes it home no not the cheese the cheese one I've just been sent a cheese pack by my friends at Puhuai Cheese.

And feel free to send another. Don't be shy. Don't get plugs in. I'm free of cheese plug-in. I'll get a cheese plug-in, thank you, for the Puhuai Valley cheese. Six more ways we're eating cheese. Well, how are we eating it wrong?

Because this is news to me. You should never keep it in plastic wrap, which is my block of Edam. Oh, that's what I do, because I just, in a bag or something or... Yeah, so... ...bag wrap. You should, it's got to like be aerated and it sweats if it's in plastic.

But then it goes all hard and crusty on the outside if you leave it. Yeah. There's some sort of cheese mesh. Best to put it in. It may do. Yeah, it'll lose its flavour, texture and character if it sweats. So yeah, that's our block of Colby or whatever you're into.

Don't eat it straight from the fridge. It needs to be room temperature before you serve it, so it needs to breathe for around 15 to 30 minutes. This is bad news because sometimes I'll just get the block of Edam out and just grate it onto a plate and eat it. I also feel like we're all thinking the block of Edam or Colby or whatever,

but they're talking... Bourgeois cheeses. Bourgeois, like cheeses, like rich people cheeses. Yeah. Avoid freezing because... Who's freezing a cheese? I know. Who's freezing cheeses?

I don't think I need to go into that. It ruins the cheese. Freezy cheesy. Steer clear of grated cheese. They're talking about pre-grated cheese. Why? Because apparently they add stuff to it. So, you know, if you grate your own cheese, it sticks together.

Yep. But when you buy pre-grated, it has like a floury texture. So you're telling me I can't eat cheese straight from the fridge. It shouldn't be in plastic and I shouldn't eat grated. So pouring it into my mouth straight out of the grated plastic bag is bad. It's breaking so many of these cheese rules at once. How good is it when you, you know, when you've got a bag of grated cheese in you,

it's almost all gone and the cheese dust and you just go, ah, cheese girl. Cheese your mouth? No, because I never buy pre-grated cheese. How good is it when you... How are you so time poor?

You can't grate your cheese. No, but sometimes I just like it out of the bag because it's good just to nibble on. What about when you like grab a handful of grated cheese out of a bag and you've got to use the bag to catch any that fall in your... Do you know how much you're paying extra

just to have your cheese pre-grated? I normally get the block. I'm not always bougie, but sometimes I treat myself. I love that the block is bougie. Pre-grated cheese is bougie. And only buy what you can eat. Because unless you have a larder that mimics maturing rooms, you're buying your cheese whole and then you're going to ruin it.

So I don't think anyone's ever... Who knew there was a wrong way to eat cheese and there was seven of them. Yeah, pretty much.
