ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan today coming to you from our Nelson studios. Very soon, 7 o'clock, we'll be out live on the streets of Nelson broadcasting live. Nelson, it feels like home. Yeah, it was last time we were here for the Broods gig. Yeah.

Oh, I discovered I had shingles. Such fond memories. Such fond memories of Nelson. Well, big morning for us, so no pressure. No pressure. Who, us or Nelson? Everyone.

Us. I don't want the pressure on. What are you putting? You don't say no pressure. That's an additional automatic pressure situation. Well, also feeling the pressure, a couple of teams tomorrow

ahead of the big World Cup clash, Ireland versus the All Blacks. Same with Segway. A quarterfinal. And Vaughan, you've got the top six coming up. Well, the Irish, they've got so many lucky charms, don't they? They've got the four-leaf clover.

Potatoes. Oh, I don't know about that one. I don't think that's a lucky charm. I don't know about that one. You've got the pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yep. So many Irish lucky charms.

Rabbit's foot. Sure, if they're from Ireland. But what about All Blacks Lucky Charms? Yeah. We've got the top six All Blacks Lucky Charms coming up in the top six. Also joining us on the phone to preview the All Blacks this weekend. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time.

So story time as usual. I've got three news headlines, interesting, quirky, odd, unusual news stories that I've found from around the world. And you guys have to pick one only. Headline one, woman slammed for baby announcement. Okay. Headline two, police robot tells woman to go away.

And headline three, locksmiths lock themselves out of shop. Oh, I want to know about baby announcement. I've always wanted to be able to like pick a lock like in a movie. They make it look so easy. I know they do. Locksmiths have also got to have a clean criminal history. Do they? Yeah, you can't have a criminal conviction and work at Mr. Minute.

You probably can, but I mean like an actual locksmith. Because I said to a locksmith, is Mr. Minute where you get your training? Right. I might as well have spat in his face and called his mother the F word because he was so insulted. Well, that's like the mass-produ produced version of an industry, isn't it? Like the...

It's like the big franchise. I'm struggling to find a better analogy. Like if you worked in radio, but... And everyone's like, huh, Spotify. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like spit in my face. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you want to work at Spotify?

Well, how much are they paying? Yes. What do I have to do? Like, nothing and get paid? But apparently, I watched a video that when, you know, people in movies pick locks, they always do it wrong because you've always got to have a thing in the bottom to press all the things down and then you poke everything else around.

So you technically need two. Yeah, and they always just use one and a dot. Sometimes they do two. So then you're going to be like, they're going for accuracy. You've described that eloquently. How was that again? Poke a thing in and jiggle the other pokey,

poke down thing. Yeah, exactly how it works. Well, I know how to do it now. Easy. Well, there's that one. There's a locksmith story or police. I kind of like story one. What do you want?

Oh, you bloody would. Why? Yeah, no, I'll go you want? Oh, you bloody would. Why? You know, I'll go with it. Oh, oh, oh. We're in a hometown. I want to know how that could possibly go. We're in a hometown. I'll let her have her moment.

Oh, thanks. All right, well, an American woman was anonymously uploaded to an Australian cake-shaming Facebook page. What? There is a Facebook group out there about cake shaming? What is wrong with you people? I mean, you know there's funny,

you know Pinterest fails? Those are funny. You watch that whole show with a whole idea of the show. I think that was nominated for an Emmy. It was. It must have been a quiet year for reality TV. No, Nailed It is hilarious.

Is the group called That's It I'm Cake Shaming? Maybe. Isn't it That's It I'm Wedding Shaming? Like, why do we have so many groups for shaming? Because we live in a world where it's just easy to mow people down, isn't it? We live in a world of bastards, is what we live in. So, I'll show you a picture of the cake that was posted. Yes, please.

Megan, could you read that out and describe the picture? So, there's a white cake and it's got like icing on top and then in blue writing it's written, we're pregnant and then it's got a pregnancy test on it. Is that real? She actually peed on that and then put it on the cake? Let me read a comment from one of the cake shaming shamers on the page. Dude, I don't care if you put the lid back on,

don't stick something you peed on on a cake. So, yeah, they've actually literally used an actual pregnancy test, and you can see the two lines for pregnant. Wow. Yeah, on an edible cake. So that's why that's gone. I mean, they've put the cat back on the bit they peed on, but then there's splashes in there.

Well, and another person goes on to say, that is effing gross. Hands down, no amount of bleach could ever make that okay to put on top of a cake. But you're in sterile. I always love that when someone's like. I totally eat the other part of the cake. What? Careful.

Oh, yeah, at the other side of the cake. It's already sitting on the side. Yeah. No, I'm with you there. I won't say no part of the cake. What? Careful. Oh, yeah, at the other side of the cake. It's only sitting on the side. Yeah. No, I'm with you there. I won't say no to a good cake. Have it in wee or not. There's still three quarters of a good cake there. Still, though.

It's quite gross, though, isn't it? It is. They're excited. They wouldn't have thought about it. No, well, they're shamed now. Yeah. But, yeah, again, probably the biggest thing of that whole story is there's a cake shaming group on Facebook.

Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Today, live from Nelson, we're going to be, we're in our studio at the moment. We're going to be live very soon, 7 o'clock. From Zumo. It's a cafe. We just basically wanted to be near Slices and Coffee this morning. Very clever.

Delicious coffee. Quite a contentious issue and a really, like, an interesting one is about drug testing, pill testing at festivals and whether or not New Zealanders think it's a good idea. Now, it's a weird one. When you first hear it, you're like, well, obviously it's bad. People shouldn't be taking drugs. Yeah.

But the more you read into it, the more you're like, well, they're going to take them anyway. So we know it's illegal and it's law-, well, they're going to take them anyway. So we know it's illegal and it's law-breaking, but they're going to take them anyway. People do all sorts of things. It's like people who are speed, even though the sign says don't speed, they still speed. Yeah.

Yeah. So it's like giving them a seatbelt. Pretty much, yeah. So people are going to take these drugs anyway, and the thing is, these days you can't trust a drug dealer, apparently. Who would have thought? In 2019. The last bastion of society, the drug dealers can no longer be trusted.

Now, there's things often put into these pills that can be poisonous, not good for you. I mean, apart from the drugs themselves. So the idea is to test them at the festivals. You're saying, yes, you're taking pills. No, that's not good for you. But let us make sure there's nothing in there that's going to straight up kill you or wreck you right here. How do they, like, how do they test that?

Do they just take the pill and swamp it or something? I have no idea how it works. I actually never thought about that. I know this is really contentious in Australia. Like, a lot of people die in Australia every year at festivals. Yeah. Taking bad pills. And they just cannot decide.

Like you've got your conservatives on one side and then you've got the other people who are, you know, not wanting people to die. And they're just fighting. So I would have thought it would have been quite contentious in New Zealand here as well. But when something is 75% supported in a Colmar Brunton poll, 75% of people polled said Festival Goers should be able to get their drugs tested legally.

To me, that's not a controversial issue anymore. You've got three quarters of people saying, yes, you should be able to get them tested. 19% were against and six either didn't know or just didn't want to answer. Yeah, because, I mean, if you're not doing them, it's no skin off your nose, is it? If someone's not going to die. It's cut and dry for me because either you're going to do nothing and people are going to die or you're going to test them and maybe you'll save some lives.

Yeah. I mean, it's not even the dying thing. If somebody ends up in a hospital for three or four weeks through a poison being in the pill, that's taxpayer money. That's us paying for that. Exactly. Whereas if you spend the money before it goes in, it's significantly less. Or just legalising the fact that

it can be tested is the main thing. They're not even saying the taxpayer should pay for it. Yeah, right. Just saying, make it legal so that it can be paid for. Because it was only a couple of weeks ago that, what, five or six people went to hospital. Yeah. At the... After the... Listener. Listener. Amount Smart. Yeah.

When people were climbing on the roof and up the and again we're not in support of illegal drugs but I am in less support of people dying or being hospitalised

for a long time yeah it just makes sense right yeah it does because otherwise you're just going to leave it and people are still

going to take them I've always thought we're pretty sensible we should run the country 100% hello shop it's just a lot of work Vaughan's like I want to be in charge of the money no it's a monopoly no I've always thought we're pretty sensible. We should run the country. 100%. Hello, shop. It's just a lot of work.

Vaughan's like, I want to be in charge of the money. No. It's a monopoly. No. And you don't like meetings here. Imagine how many meetings would be involved. Oh, my God. So many meetings. Can I be in charge of White Island?

I want to prod it. You want to poke it. I don't think that's how volcanic activity works. I want to be in charge of the military, and I want to be in charge of White Island. I can't see. Hey, Air Force, you want to poke it. I don't think that's how volcanic activity works. I want to be in charge of the military and I want to be in charge of White Island. I can't say Air Force. You want to drop some bombs? I want to be the treasurer

and in charge of like doing import tax. All right, guys, you can import everything for free now. And that's when the country went downhill. Local industry folded on itself. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. A tap of the marionette, hell yeah. The All Blacks taking on the Irish, who before this Rugby World Cup were the number one ranked team in the world.

Yeah, but that was a bit... That was... The rankings are all over the show. Because I think they'd played... They'd come off the end of a hot season. Is that what happened? Yeah. And they'd kind of gone unbeaten in the Northern Hemisphere, whereas we'd had a couple of whoopsies.

But then who did they lose to that everyone was like, what? Japan. Japan, yeah. So the All Black Ireland game is tomorrow night, Saturday at 11.15pm. So it's a late night, but that'll be a good game. Catch the highlights. Catch the highlights. Or just go nunnies and catch the highlights in the morning.

Yeah. And ignore your phone when you wake up with like 10,000 news alerts. Oh, yeah. If you wake up with no news alerts, we lost. Yeah. So the Irish have all these lucky charms. They have like famously like pots of golds at the end of the rainbow and four leaf clovers. I mean, you've got to have something to look up to when your national dishes are plain end of the rainbow and four-leaf clovers.

I mean, you've got to have someone to look up to when your national dishes are plain potato and then they all just start a-dying. Sure. I'm allowed to make jokes. They're my people. Because you're part Irish. I'm Irish, quite heavily Irish.

So these are the top six ideas for the All Blacks Lucky Charms ahead of the game. Okay. Number six on the list of the All Blacks Lucky Charms, Buck Shelford's missing testicle. That's right. Famously during a game had his throat torn open and gun stapled shut. And rumor has it one testicle never made it back in before they shut the gate.

No. Really? Yeah, out there on the field somewhere. Yeah, they put in, do you remember, actual truth, do you remember the giant glass marbles he had at school? He has one of those. Yeah. Tink, tink. And that's what happens when he sits on? He has one of those. Yeah. Tink, tink.

And that's what happens when he sits on a hard chair. Oh, my gosh. Tink, tonk. Tink, tink, tonk, tonk. Tink, tonk. Tink, tonk, tonk. Buck, are you playing with yourself again? Just take off your wallet. He is a Kiwi icon. Absolutely joking about a Kiwi rugby legend. Yeah.

Number five. Oh, my God. By the less of the old blacks, lucky charms. Number five, a Steinlager classic. A Steinlager pure? No. No. No.

Naughty. It's not allowed to taste nice. Well, they've got their official, they've got their old school cans out for the World Cup, haven't they? It's a disgusting beer. Reminds me of my dad's mates that liked yachting. When are we going to lose this toxic masculinity

and have Long White Raspberry sponsor the All Blacks? That would be so good. Progressive! That would be amazing, wouldn't it? Yeah. Or Gordon's Gin and Tonic. Oh, yeah. Love me.

Or Vodka Cruisers. Uh-huh. Probably a bit too much sugar in a Vodka Cruiser. Yeah, yeah. Love me. Or vodka cruisers. Uh-huh. Probably a bit too much sugar in a vodka cruiser. Yeah, I was with you the whole night. Low sugar content. Yeah, okay. I mean, look, I'm just brainstorming here. Or vodka lime and soda.

Let's just lose the toxic masculinity. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And let's get gin and tonic on board with the All Blacks. Just saying. Or a buttery shard. No. No. Number four on the list of the top six All Blacks Lucky Charms,

the awkward three-way handshake. Oh, yeah. The John Key situation, it wouldn't be a Rugby World Cup victory without it. And then so before you go on the field, three of you try to shake hands. That becomes like your lucky handshake. We won, though, didn't we? That's what I'm saying. That's what we're saying.

Yeah, good. That's what I'm saying. Number three on the list of the All Blacks Top 6 Lucky Charms that I'm proposing to you, a copy of Jonah Loma Rugby for the original PlayStation. There has never been a finer rugby game than Jonah Loma Rugby on the original PlayStation. Yeah.

A work of art. No, don't remaster it. Leave it in our memories as the beautiful thing it was. Number two on the list of the top six All Blacks lucky charms. That little plastic Kiwi dressed like an All Black from the early 1990s. Like, where did you get those from? Were they like a gift with petrol or something? Couldn't you get them at like souvenir stores like the clip-on Kiwis and stuff?

Kiwi folk collectibles. I found one on Trade Me. Oh, just missed out. But this one was a shepherd who's holding a sheep. He's a Kiwi. And the Kiwis were dressed up as all the different things that New Zealand's known for. They might have been snorkelling.

I'm not as old as you guys. I don't remember those. Watch it, bitch. It was a hearty challenge. I was laughing at something else happening simultaneously. And number one on today's top six of the All Blacks possible, Lucky Charms. A note from Michael Jones' mum saying he's not allowed to play rugby on Sunday

because he's got to go to church. I remember growing up as a kid and they'd play Sunday rugby games and he would never play. And we'd lose, right? I guess in Australia he'd be like, I can't play. Mum said I'm not allowed. It would be like if Dan Carter or Bowdoin Barrett was like, I can't play on Sundays.

Everyone would be like, oh shit. Now what? Yeah. What do we do? Why? What do you got on? Church.

What? Yeah, God. Yeah, I know him. That's who I'm going to see on Sunday. That is today's Top 6.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A microbiologist is giving us a talking to everyone because it turns out

we need to wash our water bottles definitely more than we are I literally asked you this the other day I was like how often because I've got one of these metal ones

how often are you supposed to be washing these because I actually don't think I have yet because old rubbery plastic needs a wash like those ones with like the sucky mouthpiece. Well, I've

in my gym one. I don't wash it as much as I should. I know I should. Because remember my Love Island drink bottle got like some kind of orangey in the sucky part. And I couldn't get it out. It was because you kept eating all that mints, but having the mints in your mouth while you were trying to drink.

And then the orange from the mints got in there. Those are nasty. I had to get rid of that because it just like grew mold or something. If you want to see nasty, cut open a bath toy. Like your kids' rubber ducks and stuff. Get nasty. You should just chuck those out every so often. Well, it's interesting

you should say bath toy because they have said, the microbiologist has said that your water bottle is just as dirty and it accumulates just as much grime as the side of a bathtub. You know how it gets a ring? Yeah. And the bottom of a boat, like barnacles.

Okay, so when you see barnacles forming on your drink bottle, that's when you should wash it. Is that what you're saying? Well, no. Enough bacteria. So if you left it for long enough, you'd get, like, barnacles. If mine gets barnacles, I promise I'll wash it. When it starts

to look like the underside of an international fairy shit, yeah. Well, apparently the most dangerous ones too, so the bacteria that can cause strep and staph infections from your drink bottle. So how often should we be washing? Once a week, at least, with hot soapy water and a brush.

So if you still did the dishes in the sink, pop it in once a week. Yeah. Or if you just have to run it. Dishwasher wouldn't get up in there, eh? I was going to say dishwasher. Dishwasher would shoot up in there, I think. Not a small bottle.

You've got to get in the nooks and crannies. Yeah, so you have to soak. I reckon soak it in some dishwasher. Yeah, because I've seen that it can get in the nooks and crannies. Yeah, so you have to soak, I reckon soak it in some dishwasher. Yeah, because I've seen that it can get mould and like really bad black mould and bacteria in the crevices of the drink bottle and you don't even know it's there. Yeah.

Yummy. Wow. But we're all trying to save the planet because we're using reusable drink bottles. So that's good, but also wash. You've got to clean them, yeah. Because they're manky. All right.

The America's Cup is now New Zealand's Cup. What a steam. Adams! Oh, beautiful connection. Long black celebrating already. Sports Talk. Where we talk about sports. Joining us on the phone, Grant Wallace Nisbet.

Or better known, Nisbo. Good morning. G'day, guys. Somebody's on your Wikipedia page. Yeah, I just sent it in. Is Wallace your middle name? It is, yeah. Good morning. G'day, guys. Somebody's on your Wikipedia page. Yeah, I just entered them. Is Wallace your middle name? It is, yeah.

Very Scottish. And they've gone home, sadly. Oh, yeah. What did you make of that whole, we'll sue you, we'll sue you, oopsie, we just lost to Japan? Yeah, look, I think they had a point in some ways. The game had to be played. And it wouldn't have been satisfactory had they headed home without actually playing the game. As it turned out, they headed home anyway.

True. When you get, like, with Scotland, have they hung around to watch some more of the games, or does everybody scoot off home with their tail between their legs? Yeah, I don't think they're paid for. I think they just have to get on the plane and go. Really? Well, yeah, you could probably struggle to find accommodation. You might get one of those little pods you always see,

but I'm imagining a rugby player would fill up that whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, look, it's called after the Lord Mayor's show. You just want to go. Yeah. Now, tomorrow, New Zealand versus Ireland. The game is at 11.15. How are we feeling ahead of this?

Because let's remember, they were number one, weren't, in World Rugby earlier this year? Yeah, pretty confident I think. 12 months ago, of course, they beat us. But I don't think they've improved since then. In fact, I think they've probably gone downhill sadly from their point of view. Whereas the All Blacks have either stayed the same or improved a bit. So that's why I'm feeling reasonably confident. If you go back to Dublin 12 months ago, there was only one try scored in the game and Ireland scored it.

I can't imagine the All Blacks going through another test and not getting a few tries. So I don't know whether it's going to be a high-scoring game because Ireland are difficult to play. They can shut you down. But I do think the All Blacks are a more talented team and I'm pretty confident they can get through. I'm hoping that the All Blacks are up like 30 or 40 nil at halftime

so I can go to bed. Yeah, that's a good point as well, yeah. It is. It's a late game. People will be nodding off. What gets you through these late games? Well, I've got a game to do at the stadium in Wellington at 7, so I'm not going to get home until about nine.

So, you know, I've only got a couple of hours to fill in. I'll find a way. Don't worry. Do you have a coffee that late at night, or will that just keep you awake all night? Yeah, I'm not a big coffee drinker. I might have a nice cup of tea. Sounds very English, doesn't it?

It does. He's turned his back on the Scots. They would have had a scotch or two, and he's gone straight for an English cup of tea. That would put me to sleep. Do you want to predict a score, Nisbo? Okay, I'll go All Blacks 25 to 12. Oh, I like that.

I like it. 25-12. Well, that's that. You heard it here first. You happy with that? Yeah, I'm very happy. It's a win. It's a win.

Wouldn't have fathomed a better guest myself. We always love chatting to you. Thanks so much for just giving us your voice for a few minutes. It makes us feel really rugby. That's right, guys. A real pleasure. Yes. Live from the top of the South, it's ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan.

Thank you, Anya, and thank you, Voice Over Guy, today broadcasting live from Nelson Vaughan. So happy about that news about the sausage. Victory there. I clapped. You love a sausage. I clapped. I love, I love.

And that's a great butchery. Never been. I just like going in there. What was that sausage, chicken, leek, and bacon? Yeah. Ooh. Ooh, la, la. It's a, like, you try getting a leek and a sausage.

Yeah. Do you have to poke it in? I defy you. Well, I don't know. M in a sausage? Yeah. Do you have to poke it in? I defy you. Well, I don't know. Mince it up? Yeah. Would it join the chicken and the bacon in the mincing process, or would it be chopped up and added to the pre-minced sausage mix?

I don't know if they tell you either. I think that's in the secret. It's good stuff. It's highfalutin sausage talk. That's what it is. Saucy chat. A bit of sauce chat. Now, today broadcasting live in Nelson,

here meeting our new listeners. Nelson holds a special place in our heart, doesn't it? Megan, you're from here. I've lived here. Family here. Yeah. But for some of the show, it's a traumatic experience being in Nelson.

Producer James does not want to relive. He did have to stop at mackers last night for cheeseburger he's feeling a little bit precious and hung over this morning but we need to talk about why producer james um is traumatized traumatized coming to nelson because it is a hard it's hard for him to be here we're not gonna lie it's hard for him to turn up this morning even to be in nelson yeah uh also coming up megan you've had a lifelong dream to be here. We're not going to lie. It's hard for him to turn up this morning even to be in Nelson. Yeah. Also coming up, Megan, you've had a lifelong dream

to be invited back to your old high school. I have. Nalin College. Nalin College. Not happening. Well, I'll tell you now, Megan,

we haven't got some great surprises. Well, no, we've pulled some strings. Yeah, but they don't want to hear from her. If I'm going to talk at Nalin College,

I need preparation because I need to write like a stick. If I'm going to talk at Nalen College, I need preparation. Because I need to write like a... Well, you're not doing it today. Oh, okay. I wasn't kidding. It's not happening. But we have invited some Nalen people along soon. Oh, okay.

So we'll see if we can pull some strings for you. Some alumni. Yeah. Okay. Sure. You're alumni. Are you alumni until you leave? I just said that word and then hoped that it would.

Yeah, it just sounds flash, doesn't it? Okay. All right. Well, that's coming up soon on the show. What's the time? Where's my laptop? Five past seven. Excellent.

I don't have my big clock today, guys. Your big what? Clock. Post Malone circles. Save it for the weekend, mate. ZM, it is the weekend. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.

ZM. Broadcasting live this morning from Nelson. We're at Zumo Cafe. If you're in Nelson, give us a toot, a honk. Best long black I've had. Oh, so good. Best long black. And the Wi-Fi password's large latte.

But that's too late. What? No, they turn it off. So don't think you're going to park in this car park and get free. Freedom campers. Yeah. Stealing Wi-Fi. You're not going to get that here.

Tell you that. Shitting in the gutter. Stealing Wi-Fi. Great coffee, though. Speaking their European languages. Getting rid of a lot of them. Ruining the area. Nelson, for some of the team, though, it's hard to come back.

James, producer James, wearing a sports headset at our outside broadcast. Nelson for some of the team though is it's hard to come back James producer James wearing a sports headset at our outside broadcast I've got the broadcaster headset on I believe that's been worn by like some famous sports broadcasters

who's that cricket by Brian Waddle yeah he's worn that Tony Veach I mean the earmuffs the earmuffs are pretty worn so

yeah that's Veach mate he had no respect for the earmuffs no absolutely no respect for it. Yeah, a lot of things. But anyway, producer James, why is Nelson hard for you to come to? It's a pretty traumatic place.

I brought it up last night before the bingo night. Yeah, I thought you brought it up in a group setting where you felt safe. I actually feel like we're breaching trust here. Why do you say that when it's James and when I tell you brought it up in a group setting where you felt safe. I actually feel like we're breaching trust here. Why do you say that when it's James? And when I tell you something, you're like, oh, you don't like to talk about that. Also, on the show today, you will see two instances of Warren breaching my privacy quite horribly.

But when it's James. Stay tuned for that. We were sitting around before bingo, and we were talking about our past experiences in Nelson, and I thought it was a comfortable situation to bring up that I had an accident in Nelson one New Year's. You were 17? 17 year old me.

Fresh out of year 12. Okay. I was here over New Year's. I had a great New Year's. As most people from Canterbury come to Nelson. You come to New Year's. Yeah, I was in Mitai. You come up here with all your friends and stuff. It's okay, James. I don't really know how to approach this.

We're here. I had to get some stitches. In a place that you wouldn't like stitches, it was in my private parts I had to get stitches, up in Nelson. Motswaka A&E, actually. Right, okay. I put four stitches.

Wow. Yeah. What's Motswaka A&E like? Never been, okay. Put four stitches. Wow. Yeah. What's Mott A&E like? Never been. Do they still administer a strong cannabis joint? He's going to join on arrival. No, I had to ring him, obviously, because it was the 1st of January. He wasn't there.

Oh, public holiday. Yeah, so. Now, did they charge you a fee, an extra public holiday fee? Do you not remember? Yes, they did. Okay. I couldn't afford it. My friend had to pay it.

Right. Because it was the 1st of January. I'd loaned everything. Right. Actually, literally everything the night before. Male or female doctor? Two. Oh, two.

One to hold you down. One to do it. One nurse had to hold it back while the other one did the work. Wow. In the lightest way possible. So, you broke your banjo string? No.

Jesus, we were bloody tic-tac-toeing around and you just slopped straight in. Well, no, people need to know what we're... It's medical. It's a medical term. No, not so much. I don't know if it is. Are you sure? It was the skin more than the string.

Oh, my God. But you can't see. James is looking around because we are actually in a coffee shop. There are a lot of customers. And James is looking around. So we're talking really loudly. Yeah, we're actually yelling about this. So yeah, sorry, carry on.

What was the cause? I, um. You don't. I don't know. You don't know the cause. That's, that's the hard thing. What? So suddenly you're just like, yo.

Look, there was some antics that went on on New Year's Eve. Yeah, right. And I woke up in the morning and, yeah, I had this situation in front of me to deal with. So it's pretty traumatic coming back here. I did have some pretty bad flashbacks when I was off the plane. I saw you looking out the window. You could see Mott down there, couldn't you? Yeah, I was looking up at the hills and I got shivered down my spine.

But yeah, it's pretty traumatic. Yeah. But it makes us a better person in the end. It's character building. Exactly. Yeah. Wow.

Well, I hope this, maybe this experience can, you know, wipe that memory for you. And it helps others because you could be one of those

anti-drinking too much ads. Yes. Like you don't want to wake up in an A&E with a couple of random people touching you. And it helps others because you can be one of those anti-drinking too much ads. Yes. Like you don't want to wake up in an A&E with a couple of random people touching you. I'm happy to talk

to people who have been through the same experience as me. They're doctors. Well they're still random. You don't know them. They're there for a

reason. To help you. Yeah I don't like to call medical professionals random. So I went in random stuck his finger up my bum.

Yeah it's not quite how it goes. Yeah I rustled, random stuck his finger up my bum. Yes, not quite. How it goes. I rustled around in there for a bit, but, you know, for the best.

For the best. For the best. For the best. I went and laid down in a chair and a random put his hands in my mouth.

And gave you a filling? Tapped on teeth with the sticks and everything. Yeah, just a random. Right, okay.

Actually, my mum just texted me and said, different story to what you told us. Oh, what did you tell them? I don't, obviously a random. Right, okay. Actually, my mum just texted me and said, different story to what you told us. Oh, what did you tell them? I don't, obviously not that.

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. As a country, we've been told off for some of the things that some of us are putting in our recycling and rubbish bins.

So, you know how there's things you're not meant to put in? Yeah. And it's not that you're not meant to put plastic bags in the recycling. Pizza boxes? Yes, because of the grease. Well, people have been throwing out their lithium batteries. Oh, okay.

Now, lithium batteries are rechargeable batteries? Yeah, and they're the ones that a lot of airlines have banned and check in. You know, when you check your bag and they're like, do you have any of this stuff? And you're like, no. Power banks and... Yeah, your power banks. Drone batteries and... Those little e-scooter things.

You're not allowed to check those in, those kind of things. Who's checking in an e-scooter? I don't know. What do you mean an e-scooter? You You're not allowed to check those and those kind of things. Who's checking in an e-scooter? I don't know. What do you mean an e-scooter? You know, like those little, like a lime scooter. Who the bloody hell's checking in a lime scooter? Well, you can fold them down and you take them on holiday. No.

No. Well, I guess you'd have to take the battery out if you wanted to do that and carry it on because you're allowed it in carry-on, right? Yeah. Well, anyway, people are throwing out these lithium batteries, among other things, and in the last month alone in Auckland, there have been rubbish truck, recycle truck fires. Oh, my God. They have to turn up and put out a fire in the back of a recycle truck because, you know,

the big crusher in the back, it crushes the battery and... That sparks the flame. Also, they've found in one instance, somebody put their fire ash into the rubbish bin and then it goes in the back and that caught fire. And someone had an Xbox that they chucked out. There must be a battery in that. Are there batteries or maybe in the controllers? I would think more controllers than anything. But then maybe in the Xbox, you know how, like, you know how you unplug something, and then you plug it back in, and it already knows the time and date?

Oh, yeah, that's weird, eh? Like it's got a secret power supply. Has it been telling you about it? It's been cheating on you. Yes. It's got a secret battery. Phantom power. Like your alarm clock.

Some alarm clock you can put on. That's not a secret battery. That's a 9-volt battery. You have to put that battery in. Yeah, but I didn't know about it, so it's secret. Right. There's a little flap you need to put it in, yeah. So, yeah, they're just saying don't dispose of batteries in the rubbish.

I don't know where you take a battery. The ocean? The ocean still accepts batteries? Fishing sinkers. You turn them into fishing sinkers. Sure. And then the fish bites it and it gives it a little shock as well. And then it's tenderized by the time it gets to the surface.

Sounds lovely. It's so awful. Why am I laughing? But yeah, because you're saying that all people are doing is chucking these batteries away and it's burning all the recyclables that can't be recycled. So we're kind of shorting ourselves out. I always put stuff in the recycle bin and I'm like, they'll figure it out. Do they though?

I don't know. Entirely sure? Yeah, right. Like if it feels plastic, I'll put it in there and they can figure it out. My parents in New Plymouth, they just got a whole lot of like recycling bins. One of them was a compost bin. It's like this little bin. It's maybe like a foot and a bit tall.

And it's got like a flap on it. And everyone's just using it as a beer cooler for summer. Oh, like a chilly bin? Yeah. Because some people came around to mum's 65th birthday and they had them as their beer coolers with ice and some beer and stuff. Wait, so they got given compost bins? Yeah.

Do they collect them? Yeah, they collect them. Oh, wow. Yeah, and then truck them halfway up the country. That's so woke. To compost it. Because that's better for the earth. Yeah, they collect them. Oh, wow. Yeah, and then truck them halfway up the country. That's so woke. To compost it. To compost it. Because that's better for the earth.

Yeah, to drive it to Auckland to be composted. Exactly. We're in my hometown of Nelson. And I actually got to do something yesterday which was very fun. I got to pick up my niece from school. Like, I don't think I've ever done that before. Right. Cool auntie points.

Yeah. Totally cool auntie points. Also, I could just like rock straight up to the classroom. Yeah, that always bugs me out. Is that weird? There's no chicks here. I'm like, there's children running around me and I could just like swipe one of these. Not that I would.

It was quite warm in Nelson yesterday. I was going to say, how was the barefoot ratio? A lot of bare feet. You can go in the middle of winter to school pickup. It is, there's a foot of rain on the ground. Yeah. Snow in the hills. Yeah. Needles on the ground.

And there's kids in bare feet. They just don't feel it. Yeah, but you remember what it's, it's great in bare feet. I know, but that it. Yeah, but you remember what it's... It's great in bare feet. I know, but that was only because I didn't have shoes. But these kids have all got shoes. It just blows my mind. It could be freezing in the middle of winter and there's kids rocking around in bare feet on a school pickup.

But I just rocked up. Like, I don't know anyone. I don't know teachers. I don't know anyone. And I'm just, like, loitering outside literally the classroom. And no questions asked. Yeah, but you don't look like... Thank you.

They never do. They never do. Right. Continue. I don't look... Yeah. I look nice? Sure.

No, he definitely didn't say that. I didn't say that. I'm just saying you don't... He said you just didn't look like a child. You don't look like... Yeah. So anyway,

I rocked right up to the classroom, waited for my niece who came running out and gave me a big hug. That was pretty cool. See, that's the difference there. What? They don't often run out and hug the people they don't know.

A random. Deviants. Yeah. Right. And we were walking away and she was saying to all her friends, this is my auntie, and I was being introduced to all her little school friends, and you know how children, like, they say what they think. They say the best things.

They don't hold back, do they? No. They'll be very honest. They say the best things. They don't hold back, do they? No. They'll be very honest. Yeah, yeah. That's when one of her friends, little, she would have been probably nine. Okay. I'm like Fletch, not good at guessing age. And she said, my God, she's really pretty.

I was like, did you hear that? Like to random, I was like, did you hear that, Chloe? She's like, yeah, yeah. I was like, this little girl, just off the bat, don't know her, didn't pay her. Was like, she's really pretty. Because normally you pay people for compliments. I'll slip you a five later. Yeah.

So where were her glasses? She lost them. Sorry. That's my problem. I couldn't let you have that. That's on me, actually. That's all on me. I'm a bad person.

You deserve that. Thank you. That's what my dad would say to me when we got home and we said we won sports. He's like, were the other team blind? You need a Vaughn.

Let him have it. Let us win a game, Dad. Crikey. Because when I go and pick up my girls, their friends say stuff like, your dad's got a fat, bald head. Oh, my God. Because one of them didn't have.

She's always, Lucia, one of Indy's friends, Lucia, never has her shoelaces done up. I'm like, you're going to fall down the stairs. So every day I pretty much do up her shoes so she's not going to fall on the way home. And one day I was doing up her shoes and of course I was bent over and and she's like, to Indy. I said, what did she say?

And Indy said, she said, you've got a fat bald head. See? So I undid her shoelaces, and I tied them together, and I threw it in the stairs. Okay. Who's got a fat bald head now? Still me, but you're bleeding. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

Yep, we're broadcasting live in Nelson. Sorry, I don't have my big clock. We are here meeting our new listeners. 736. We are here meeting our new listeners. We have Nelson's favourite biscuit. Okay, thanks. And one of Megan's dreams has been to be invited back to her high school

to speak as some sort of alumni, which is a weird dream, isn't it? I don't... I feel like if your school asked you back, it's like... You've made it? Done it. They... I don't know.

It was just something... I feel bad now because I said it and then you guys poo-pooed all over it and so I don't want to say it anymore. Well, the principal of your old school... Nayland College. ...Nayland is here, but was not the principal when you were at school. No, only a couple of years ago, but it's changed since then. What do you mean?

You were at school a couple of years ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you shouldn't have been back there. Old lady lurking on school grounds. Excuse me. You would have had the police call. No, I left school only a few years ago. Daniel, good morning.

Morning. Good morning. And you've brought a couple of shining examples of your current students down. This is Zoe and Joseph. These guys are two of my four head students. Amazing head students. Fantastic students and representatives of Nalen College.

Do you still do like a campaign and a voting system and stuff for your head students? Yeah, absolutely. So these guys went through the process of being voted by their peers and nominated and by the staff and came out on top. Because I ran for that and I didn't get in. Do you guys wear uniforms or is it Mufti 24-7? For the year 13 it's Mufti 24-7 but when we're out representing the school at a certain

event then we wear our number ones. So do you have like a head student badge? Yes we do. Because I had a road patrol. God I wanted that badge so bad. I think I've got a spare one if you want. Oh, actually, yes. Can I? Yeah, no, it's really cool.

Is it sad seeing old ladies from the school Excuse me. falling over themselves for a badge? It's like not that bad, but at the same time, it's a bit weird. Um, Joseph. Is there a school song? Does Naylan have a school song? I don't remember a school song when I was there. School Hucker, not a bit weird. Joseph. Is there a school song? Does Naylan have a school song?

I don't remember a school song when I was there. School Hucker, not a school song. School Hucker. Right, okay. Do you remember that, Megan? When I was lurking around the first 15? Yeah. What?

No? I'm back in the day, not now. Do you guys have a lot of guest speakers at assemblies? Occasionally, yeah. Right. Who would you want to hear from? Oh, obviously Megan. You don't have to say that because I'm standing right beside you.

Don't encourage her. Who have you had in the past that we might know? We've got Nathan Fave coming for one of the sports prize giving, I think it is. Actually, Megan, I'm here to offer a special request this morning. What? I reckon, I reckon guys, if you guys are in agreement that we should right now, right here and now, offer to get

Megan to come and speak at our Senior Prize giving. Oh my god! In 2020. Oh my god. Wow, because that's what she said to us before when we said we've got something. In 2020. Yeah, she said I'd need time to prepare so you've got a year and a bit to prepare. Okay.

Oh, my God. It's like those viral speeches you see online with like, you know, remember Steve Jobs did one. And then you play that graduation song. It's like, as we go on. In the background, and it's real inspirational. The deal is, though, you've got a video and stick it on your Facebook page and everything else. Oh, my God.

I don't want to do it anymore. You want to get more listeners here in Nelson? Well, we've got, we just, we really want you, Megan, to be, to go viral with some kind of, you know, like, inspiration, really. Or, like, that's probably not going to happen, so you could just, like, faint and wet your pants. That's probably not.

And then we go viral. That would probably be easier. You know, my life mantra is, don't get good at what you don't want to do. I doubt you're going to start making it onto the school prize-giving circuit, mate. Don't rate yourself too highly. Hey, well, that's a great invitation. 2020 Senior Prize-Giving, Megan Louise Papadopoulos.

Absolutely. Awesome. Okay. Now you've got a whole year of anxiety. Yeah, no, I do. Oh, my God. Hiya. Thanks so much for coming down, Tim.

No, our pleasure. And, yeah, fantastic to have the invite. All right. Oh, my God. Vaughan, your Flashback Friday is coming up. Yeah, well, in just over 10 minutes' time. About 8 o'clock, we're going to kick that off. Because the All Blacks are playing Ireland tomorrow night.

Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. Ireland. Rugby World Cup. I've got Irish options. I've narrowed it down. Okay.

Do we partake this morning in a little cause? Leave me breakfast. Oh, the cause. The cause. The Irish. Not partaking in a cause close to your heart. C-O-R-R-S. Well, I know producer Caitlin.

Are you literally putting, you're telling everyone I'm putting options-S. Well, I know producer Caitlin, you love... You're telling everyone I'm putting options out there. Well, you love the cause. I'm putting it a voting on our Instagram. I'm all for the cause. So the voting on the Instagram's not going to be running for long because obviously we have to play the song soon. But I've got between Sinead O'Connor's Nothing Compares to You.

Oh, God, that's a downer of a song. Or the cause. The cause currently are leading 83%. That's what I thought. It's a downer, but it's a great sing-along. Nothing compares to you. Nothing compares to you.

Okay, well, that's enough of that. Okay, so it sounds like the cause are going to be coming up soon. The Friday flashback. Okay. Yesterday, on the plane, I had my... In fact, in the next half an hour, you're about to hear how my privacy has been violated by one of my closest friends twice in the space of 24 hours. You have right to be angry.

So the first case of this privacy breach, as it's been called, we're on the plane, one of them little planes flying down to Nelson. It's an ATR. Yeah. Will you load from the back? Yep. You say little plane, but I think that's the biggest plane that comes into Nelson. It's the biggest little plane that comes into Nelson. It's an ATR. Yeah, where you load from the back. You say little plane, but I think that's the biggest plane that comes into Nelson. It's the biggest little plane that comes into Nelson. It's a big one.

Can I just say as well, thanks to Grab a Seat. Our friends at Grab a Seat for flying us down and back. Thank you, Grab a Seat. And for all of our extra luggage. We look like a band with our fancy things, don't we, James? And James looks like our tour manager. Yeah. No, we look like one of those Christian bands that tours a school.

You know, they'll be like, we're going to a special band and assembly. And you'll be like, a band and assembly? tours a school. You know, they'll be like, we're going to special band an assembly. And you'll be like, a band an assembly? Awesome. They'll walk in and they'll be like, who's friends with my friend Jesus? And you're like, oh, God, that's a bloody trick. They tricked us. They told us it was a band. But at least you get out of maths.

Yeah. From maths into maths. Yeah. So we were on the plane, two grown men, hulking babes, I would say. We were in our little seats. Yeah. And I could not but help glance across and see Fletch was composing a message on his phone to a company. Now, it's weird.

You know when you see someone and they're messaging someone for the first time, there's no previous conversation history. Yeah. So that's what piqued my interest. I thought Fletch was making a new love connection to get amongst the Nelson, but he wasn't. Via email? No, it's Facebook Messenger, actually. Facebook Messenger.

That's the way you don't want to email these days. You want to go straight to their social channels. Yeah. Because big brains worry about it. And he was composing a message to tip-top. Absolutely, I was. Tip-top ice cream. And I don't see the problem with this.

So, I said, what you doing there? And he did that thing Fletch does, Megan, where he goes. Oh, pulled his spine away. Out of his immediate reaction when he knows someone's looking at his screen is just this panic.

Pull it in, he's like, oh, I'm just, I'm writing to tip-top. I saw, this is the words I saw on the screen, keywords, goody-goody gumdrops. Now,

to fill in the gaps. That could. Now, to fill in the gaps. That could be anything. To fill in the gaps. Well, do you want me to explain what happened or read my message? Explain what happened, then read the message. Well, kind of the message does explain it. Well, read the message. Okay.

Why did you ask? You've been a broadcaster as long as the rest of us. We trust you to make a call. Okay. Hello, Tip Top. Now, I just want to start by saying I don't have a problem with Tip Top You know I love ice cream and Tip Top And we've even been to the factory

And made an ice cream Do you remember that time we made A Tip Top ice cream A jelly tip Such a fond memory It was a fond memory So I've got only bit love for Tip Top You're passionate

That's why you're sending a message And hence I was just giving them A little bit of a heads up With a problem I experienced last weekend See you mate See you mate See you

See you Hello Tip Top Last you, mate. See you. Hello, Tip Top. Last Sunday, my friend and I went on some adventures hiking through some magical Auckland regional forests. This is how my message starts. Did you brush your feet? Yes, you know we did. We had to squirt the feet with the water and brush them like we were tradies walking into placemakers.

And then I said afterwards, we thought there would be nothing more delicious than a triple scoop Kiwi Classic tip-top, goody-goody gumdrops, dairy ice cream. You butted them up then with that. Unfortunately, your scoop locator on your website seems to be out of date. Now, did you know this was a thing, Megan? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. So you was out with the girls, and I said, we're getting ice cream, but we wanted the

rolled ice cream. But not many places do it anymore. No, you have to look for that Hokey Pokey sign. You know, the big sign that's got rolled on the cone? So many dairies don't have them now. They just have the fridge of ice cream. And so we were driving around because we were like, we've got to have rolled ice cream because it's a Kiwi classic. And so we found the scoop locator, but then heaps of the places didn't exist anymore.

It was out of date. They're not updated their scoop locator. Yeah, so that's what I said. I said, unfortunately it seems to be out of date. One store didn't exist anymore, and one was a cafe that didn't even scoop. I know. I think they put it in their milkshakes, and that's about it. Right. And I said, my friend was so sad, I'm pretty sure I saw a tear

in his eye. Yeah, this was when Fletch was out on his Big Brother, Little Brother program. And he had a very upset six-year-old crying. I was actually probably – You've seen Fletch throw a tandy. It's very six-year-old. Well, you know when I get hangry. And I was just driving around.

I was like, I need goody-goody gumdrops. Like, this is not acceptable. It's one of those ice cream flavors when you get it in your mind, you need it. You need it. And so I said, look, just a heads up. I know, this is not acceptable. It's one of those ice cream flavours when you get it in your mind, you need it. You need it. And so I said, look, just a heads up. I know it's coming into summer. I don't want a lot of people to be disappointed. XOXO. Gossip girl. And that's it. And then they did get back and say, thanks for contacting

us. Oh no, that was a general bot reply. Then they got back and said, hi Fletch, thanks for getting in touch and apologies about this. We'll be getting this fixed so we don't have any more disappointments over summer and beyond. But no offer of free... Was that the end? No offer of compensation for time wasted and fuel.

Probably an hour driving around the greater Auckland. Your message just said, you said just to let you know. You weren't like asking for compensation. Yeah, you didn't come in aggressive enough. No, no, no. Yeah, but I don't have a... A squeaky wheel gets the grease. But I really didn't want anything.

But I thought they might offer, but they didn't. And now you're no. Yeah, but I don't have a... A squeaky wheel gets the grease. But I really didn't want anything, but I thought they might offer, but they didn't. You know, so it's a bit like... And now you're disappointed. Yeah. So it's like when someone says, anything wrong with your food? You're like, no, no, it's fine.

And then you bitch about it and write a review. And write a terrible review. And sort it out for you. Yeah. But no, a great idea, the Scoop Locator. Is it an app

or just part of their website? Just a website because I just Googled it. I was like, Scoops. But I feel like it's a bit of a dying thing. Do you know what, because we couldn't find

a place to get a rolled ice cream, like a scoop, I was thinking it would be a great app to have and you rate the scoops because you know

you go some places and two scoops is literally two scoops. Bye. See you later. Have a lovely day. Great to see you. Sorry.

And two scoops is literally two scoops. Yeah. But then other places it could be like the. And two scoops is literally two scoops. Yeah. But in other places, it could be like the equivalent of three scoops. It could be like that gas spy app. So you rate the scoops like the hefty scoops at this place. Scoop spy. Scoop spy.

Scoop spy. Scoop spy. The scoop. The scoop. The scoop. Yes. It's a scooped ice cream, but you're also giving them the inside scoop. I love that.

You're welcome, Tip Top. No, no, no. Give it to them. Well, you're going to make it. It was a scooped ice cream, but you're also giving them the inside scoop. I love that. You're welcome, Tip Top. No, no, no. Give it to them. Well, you're going to make it. It's ours. Bourne, you have all these ideas for apps and you never make them. Because they probably already exist. Let's check.

All right, well. Wish that was, like, four. That's a great promo going into summer. It is. You know, it is. Fire your. Well, you're welcome, Tip Top. Fire your agency, Tip Top.

We're on board. Get us on board. We'll do all your marketing. Oh, we love ice cream. Live from the top of the South, it's ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan today are broadcasting live in Nelson.

We're at Zumo Cafe. The rain's coming down. If you're driving past, pop in, say hi. This time... I recommend the dark roast. Oh, yeah, you've been on the dark. You've called it the best long black you've ever had. It required absolutely no sweetening.

Yeah. At all. Lovely. This time next week, I don't want to panic anybody, but it is the last long weekend group tour of the decade. Oh, my God, it is so. So next weekend, it's Labor Weekend. I feel like, have we forgotten this was happening?

Labor Weekend, no. I'll be counting down. Every day off work we have, I have brightly highlighted on a calendar. Right, okay. I look forward to every single one of them. Right, okay. So Long Weekend is coming up soon. This time next week, we will be kicking off the Long Weekend group tour,

and it is the last one for the decade. And I know last time, Vaughan, you were very upset. We didn't break our world record of toots. I'd erase that from my memory. I couldn't tell you what happened last time. I only remember the positives. Our record's 10, right? We did get close.

So make sure you join us in a week's time because you need to be part of it. Exciting news is that we've filled up the honours board. We'll have to discuss this next week.

All right, well, that's coming up next week on the show, next Friday. Friday Flashback. Flashback, Flashback. Right, this song is an Irish band. Friday Flashback. Right. This song is an Irish band. It's a family Irish band. And we're doing this because the All Blacks are playing Ireland tomorrow night, 11.45 local time.

15 born. What? 11.15. Nah, you don't want to watch the first half. Just catch the last bit of the first half. Yeah. Trust me on this. Speaking of that, Nisbo, Grant Nisbo,

the voice of rugby, to preview that game before nine o'clock on the show this morning. So this song by this band reached number one in Poland. Great. And the United Kingdom, and it was their only number one in the United Kingdom. It was the 33rd highest selling single in the UK in the year 2000. It was in the top five in Ireland in the UK in the year 2000.

It was in the top five in Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and Sweden. And in the United States, it only got to number 34. Oh, they don't get it. Yeah, they don't get it. They don't get a lot. They can't appreciate a fiddle and a tin whistle. No. A what?

A fiddle and a tin whistle. I've just found some Irish music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do we like this? This is a fiddle. I'll just found some Irish music. Do we like this? I'll just get it a bit louder. This is epic. It's very epic. It's like an army of leprechauns charging to the front.

But one stopped and he's like, oh, I found a four-leaf clover. That's happening. They were a family band. And everyone was like, oh, my God, those sisters are wonderful. And Jim's there, too. Oh, Jim. Jim. Jim. Oft overlooked.

Oft forgot Jim. Oft forgot Jim Core, because the name of the band was Jim Core. Oh, what did they call him? Jim Core. Jim Core. Missed a trick there. Apple. That sounds like a class.

Apple Core. Jim Core. Hardcore. Have you done your Jimcore? Carocore. Just cardio. The siblings Andrea, Sharon, Carolyn and Jim make up the band The Cores. And today's Friday flashback, an absolute Irish classic from the year 2000, Breathless.

Ross Moss called me a pussy, which I don't appreciate. Why did he say that? Because we were talking about Irish options. Oh, okay. And he said, yeah, he called me that. Okay, right. Did he want you to play something else? I shan't be emasculated just because I enjoy the cause.

Female-led Irish music. Yeah. 2019. Pretty good, someone said. Someone said, I can't believe the word is not Bradley. They've been singing Leave Me Bradley for years. Why are you asking Bradley to leave you? I've just learned.

It's obviously. Go on, don't leave me Bradley. Oh my God, I shall never sing anything else now. Wow. Leave me, Bradley. Somebody said, why don't you go with Bewitched? We've done Bewitched as a front end flashback. Yeah, we have.

Yeah, there was a few Irish songs, but we've done them as ready. And we're not playing U2. Remember that time they tried to make us all listen to U2 on our iPhones and iPods? Remember when you bought an iPod and you're like, how did you get in here? I know. They pre-loaded it on. Absolutely not. You cheeky little bastard.

Somebody else said, I thought it was Bradley too. It's not Bradley. Leave me Bradley. The song is called Breathless. Also, you can leave Bradley. Yeah, it's up to you. I mean, it's your interpretation. That's saying don't leave me Bradley.

Oh, don't leave me. You're saying, if you're saying leave me Bradley, you're forcing Bradley to leave you. Yeah. Yeah, right. That's because you want to sleep with someone else, but you can't if you leave Bradley. Oh, don't leave me. If you're saying to leave me, Bradley, you're forcing Bradley to leave you. Yeah. That's because you want to sleep with someone else, but you can't if you leave Bradley. Because of the standout period. Or I just sleep with someone else and then Bradley will leave you. Well, then you're going to break Bradley. Yeah.

Well, either way, I think it's been... Breaking Brad. That's that other show about Bradley. I think it's been well received. And the Irish, the reason we play this, the Irish taking on the All Blacks tomorrow. Well, we're taking on the Irish. 11.15 tomorrow night. And to preview that game, the voice of rugby, Grant Nisbet, on the show with us before 9 o'clock this morning.

Well, I saw Nelson in the Smith family suite. It was only me there, but I got a family suite for some reason. We went to your suite to have a few pre-drinks, didn't we? Yeah, yeah. Was that only you in there? I thought you were bunking with Fletch. No, no, it was just me. No, we both had family suites.

Give it to the Lord. And we went to New World and got a cheese platter. We made a cheese platter. I purchased the pepperoni and camembert. And just on a Doritos front. Oh, my God. So the chicken Doritos were delicious. Those wasabi Doritos were not mucking about.

No, yeah, they're horse five. That made my brain hurt for a moment. So last night after bingo, I got back and there was half a bag. I'm like, I'm going to eat you. I was just like, you're not going to beat me. Because you know with wasabi, it's a nose hot rather than a mouth hot. So I was just like, one

after another, being like, you won't beat me, you won't beat me. And it got too much. Really? They beat you. Yeah, I had to stop. That's such a great story. Chip after chip. I was like, you won't beat me, you won't beat me.

And it did beat me. Well, shout out to Doritos. But it was in the Smith family suite where we were hanging out. Fletch was charging his phone on the ground. And then Fletch went back to the Fletcher family suite. I'm not sure why. I was getting ready for our night out. But he left his phone in the room.

Unbelievable. And it said Snapchat, but he's one of those people that's got things to hide, so he doesn't have the preview or who it's from. It just says notifications. But why would I have my messages preview on my phone for randoms to read? Like you.

Well, I'm not random. So it popped up there was a notification Snapchat. And we were like, yeah, ooh Snapchat and just I just picked up his phone and it said face not recognised and I was just like well I know his pin and I put his pin in

I can't believe you know my pin number how do you know my pin because Caitlin, James and I were all like what are you doing you know better than

to go in there so I come back it was a deep dive I come back and I hear it laughing and my phone's unlocked and Snapchat's open. And I'm like, how is my phone open? Because I've been away for like 10 minutes.

Yeah. You are so lucky, by the way, because five minutes later, you would have got something else. And also, Fletch said, had you scrolled up, you would have got an iPhone too. Right. Oh, yeah, that's also true. So basically, yeah, it was a sort of a knee-jerk reaction, like base jumping basically. I jumped off

and my parachute opened and I flew between a rock and a hard place and I landed safely, but it could have been a different story. It could have been. I could have saved you. Also, we were like, what are you going to say to him when he sees that that's open? You're like, I don't know, and he comes back, oh, you got a Snapchat knife and it...

But it was just like a random say to him when he sees that that's open, you're like, I don't know, and he comes back, oh, you've got a Snapchat and I opened it. But it was just like a random combo, but like I said, 10 minutes later, that could have been a different story, and I wouldn't have had, that's your fault. But also, I'm going to have to change my PIN number now. No. That's my PIN for everything. No. Is that all right? You've breached my privacy, Vaughn.

Yeah, but how often? You could actually go to jail. I could press charges. I'm not going to jail for that. You could go to jail for what's on your phone. You'll get community service at least. Yeah, okay, I'll get a couple of weekends picking up rubbish, but I'm not going to jail.

How awful does that sound? Oh, my God, home detention sounds so good. What crime can I commit so I can't leave my house? Vaughn. You do realise that you can have a studio installed in your house? Can I? Oh, no, okay, don't. I've got the room.

What about, though, could we take some calls, like, what have you seen on your friend's phone? Because that could have been quite bad for you, because our friend, we know someone who fletches the sun and he needs to describe it in another way now. We know someone that was at a party and they were like, oh, yeah, here's the photos from today.

Oh, my God. Have a look. And this chap was scrolling through and saw his penis. I've told you, bloody kids. There's a scroll allowance. Or get that app. Put it in the app, you bloody kids. So when you put it in that app.

The secret vault. Yeah. She's got the app. It's not in a photo album anymore. No, it takes it out of the photo album and puts it in a locked vault in your phone, you bloody kids. Then you don't get anyone. Everyone can

scroll through willy nilly and it's fine. I was just about to say the only nude photos I've got on my phone are of animals. But animals are always nude. They're always nude. People look at me like I'm a freak. It would be weirder if I had an album on my phone are of animals, but animals are always nude. They're always nude! People look at me like I'm a freak. Animals are... It'd be weirder if I had an album on my phone full of animals and clothes. You just described your animals as nude

and then you have photos. Here's my goat. I dress it like a human. They are nude. You've crossed the three. Well, we want to take some calls now. 0800 dials at M. And you can text in as well. 9696. What have you accidentally seen on your friend's phone? And maybe... Maybe you

unlocked the phone. Maybe you strolled past your scroll allowance. And maybe to this day, they don't know that you saw it. Because that would be so awkward. Because would you say something? Nah, I wouldn't. You wouldn't, eh? You wouldn't. If I saw your penis on your phone, I wouldn't say, oh, no, maybe I would. I think you'd need to tell somebody.

Like a therapist or something. All right. 0800 DALS at AM. Give us a call right now. 9696 to text them. What have you accidentally seen on your friend's phone? And talking about a moment where my privacy was invaded again yesterday by one of my closest friends who knows my PIN number.

Also, had it been anyone else, I feel like we would have gotten in trouble. But Vaughn's like, hee, hee, hee. Well, he does this little cute thing and I was like, I can't be mad at you. It's pretty irresistible. Yeah.

So, yeah, we want to know what you saw on your friend's phone. Maybe. Because you were literally 10 minutes away from seeing something

on Snapchat. Seeing something. And that wouldn't have been my fault. What? Apparently, if I'd scrolled up into that same conversation

on Snapchat, I may have seen something as well. What? Maybe. Maybe. Who knows? So we want to know what you've seen.

Let's start with Zoe, who's called Three. Zoe, what did you see on your friend's phone? Well, I used to work for a rideshare company, and we used to help drivers come in and sign up. And part of that is they have to upload a photo of their license. And a lot of them don't know how i don't know how to use their phone um and i was helping this poor soul upload a photo of his license and among other things i saw naked photos of himself and while i was uploading his

license he was also getting messenger notifications from older women saying they wanted to sleep with him. Surely if you're technologically in the know as to take a nude selfie, you can work out how to upload a license picture, right? You would think so, but this happened more than once. Wow. So did he just hand over his phone to you to go through his photos? Yep.

Yeah. Wow. He was like, I don't know how to use that, dear. You do it for me. Oh, he wanted you to see it. He knew. Yeah. This is how.

It's a digital flasher. It's a digital flasher. Yeah. This is how he's getting all the honeys messaging him on Messenger. The honeys. He just goes around giving people his phone. The honeys. The honeys. Hey just goes around giving people his phone. The honeys. The honeys.

Hey, Zoe, thank you for your call. Please don't refer to any more callers as honeys. Yeah, please. It's inappropriate. Zoe's... No, I was saying the other girls messaging the old man were honeys. Zoe may have thought you were calling her a honey. I'm sorry.

I do apologise, Zoe. Also, I haven't heard honeys in ages. Well, I was being... Okay. Memory, good morning. Morning. Just checking, that is your name, Memory? Like a memory that I have.

Yeah, that's right. Two callers in a row. Look at this. Somebody has brought down goody-goody gumdrops. Sorry, Memory. Just hold the phone, please. Vaughan, can you please... You're pandering to him.

What's your name, sir? My name's Derek. Derek's brought down a tub of goody-goody gumdrops. You're a good man, Derek. Well done, Derek. Fletch whinging before that he couldn't find it when he was out for a roll. Thanks, Derek. You're a great man, Derek.

Let's give Derek some coffees. Have a coffee, Derek. Sorry, Mem. He's got to get back on the road. Back on the road, okay. Take it for later, Derek. Take it for later. Memory, so now what did you say on your friend's phone?

So it wasn't me, but, well, what happened was because my phone takes better photos, I take all the photos of our day out. Yes. And my mum wanted to take them so she could put on a post on Facebook. And I forgot that I gave her my phone to get the photos, and that was all good. But because she went into Messenger to upload the photos through there, it has all the albums and I forgot

there were a few adult videos. Oh no! Adult videos? Oh no. Did mum have any further questions? She still hasn't said anything to this day but they were right at the top, so I know she saw this.

This is like when we were moving once, and my parents were helping me move, and Mum's like, it'll be easier if we take the drawers out of the bedside table. It'll be easier. It'll be lighter, and she pulled out the bottom drawer and had some adult content in it. She's like, I'll just pop that drawer back in.

And we've never spoken about it again. Really? We've never spoken about it again. Right. I'll send text messages. Thanks, You Call Memory. My son was looking through my messages, and that's how he found out me and his father had divorced.

Oh, no. Just keep it on the download. I'm hoping he hadn't notice you were in different houses. I believe Ash has called through. Ash, what did you find on your friend's phone? So I was going through my friend's phone because she had given it to me. It was a part of their while we were at a party

that I could look at her phone. And I found a photo of her taking a selfie with her thumbs up with her boyfriend's big toe in her nose. Pardon? Today, they're right. Yes, she had put her boyfriend's big toe up her nose and taken a selfie with her thumbs up. How do you fit a big toe up your nose?

I will give it to her. She had very large nostrils in her. She would have to have a very stretched nostril. I will give it to her. She had very loose nostrils. She would have to have a very stretched nostril. I will give it to her. Wow, that's a skill, isn't it? Wow. Okay, and you can go on New Zealand's Got Talent with that if they ever bring that back.

I don't know if you get far. Did you bring up the photos with her or you just pretended you didn't see them? No, I never told her. I found some other intimidating things that I was more interested in at the time. But upon reflection, I was thinking to myself, well, that's a bit weird

because at the time I didn't think anything like that. Yeah. Wow. Ash, thank you so much for your call. Some more text messages. I was borrowing my friend's phone while we were on a holiday overseas to take photos. And that's the thing, I think,

if you've got the phone that takes a bit of photos, you've got to be a bit more careful. Yeah. And her partner sent through a picture of his junk. He'd shaved his pubes and he'd stuck googly eyes just above it. Can you just keep your voice down? We're in a public coffee shop. Sorry. I forget that we're in a public space.

I thought that machine that goes pshh was louder than me, but it's not. I'm still traumatised. Thank God they broke up. Because you can put googly eyes, you buy them from Spotlight or whatever. You put them on your cat or your dogs above their tail and it looks like they're an elephant. But you could totally do that for your, yeah. That sounds fun. Looks like someone's planning their weekend crafts over the table in front of me right now.

We're sitting here at Spotlight asking for a friend. There is one. Yeah, just down the road. Okay, great. Close Spotlight. We've got time in a spotlight asking for a friend. There is one. Yeah, just down the road. Okay, great. Close spotlight. We've got time before the airport. Walking distance.

Somebody else said that their friend was showing them photos of their new dog and they were like, this is the dog and then they scroll, this is another photo

of the dog and then they scrolled again and it was just a full-blown naked of their partner. Goodness me. So lots of people accidentally scrolling

a little bit too far outside of their scroll allowance. Someone wanted to know what that locked box app is called on the phone. But it changes what the tile is on your phone. So it looks like a second calculator sometimes. Sometimes it's just an umbrella and it changes. It changes. It's so sneaky. It's so sneaky.

No, it changes itself. That is something someone would have if they were cheating on their partner. Well, absolutely not. No, but this is where you put your photos. I'm just surprised someone like you doesn't have this. I was telling a friend about blunt umbrellas. Oh, my God. Wonderful umbrella.

Can we have a shout out for New Zealand's best umbrella? Blunt umbrella. Sure, you just did. You take it upon yourself. Unpaid and unspawn. Unspawn. Unspawn. So they. Sure, you just did. You take it upon yourself. Unpaid and unspawn. Unspawn. Unspawn. So they said, let me Google it.

And they opened up their phone and they typed in B and Brazzers came up. What's Brazzers? James' face. Does everyone know what that is but me? Oh, Nan doesn't know what Brazzers is. We don't need to explain it here. I have no idea. Oh, Aunty Caitlin doesn't know what Brazzers is either We don't need to explain it here. I have no idea. Oh, Aunty Caitlin doesn't know what Braziers is either.

It's a recipe website. Yes. A Brazilian. Are you talking about a brazier? Like a bra? It's for cooking on a brazier. It's weird. A recipe website for cooking on a brazier.

Okay. Outside. Yep. God, James has actually gone red. Oh, no, it's all right. Caitlin's just Googled with the answer. A brassiere. This one, might attend.

See the range now. Yeah, exactly. That's what it is. My friend told me to open a Snapchat because the guy sends her food, and I was met with a giant nude photo. I couldn't stop laughing. She was very much embarrassed because this guy who she had been,

who was a chef, had been sending her pictures of the food. Oh, okay. Had also been sending her pictures of giant sausages. Well, thank you so much for your text messages and your calls. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan,

the podcast. ZM, Fletch Warner Megan, today broadcasting the show at Zumo Cafe. We're live in Nelson. Last night, thanks to Jingo, we did a, oh, it's kind of like a bingo night, but music. Jingo. A bit of a different take on it.

Gave away a thousand bucks. Producer Caitlin, some absolute bangers. You had a couple of G&Ts. Oh, yeah, I had like a whole bottle of wine, I think. From the wine feeling today. So instead of calling out bingo numbers, it was music snippets. They do this at bars all around the place. So I just want to say a special thanks to Jingo numbers, it was music snippets. They do this at bars all around the place.

So I just want to say a special thanks to Jingo for hooking us up with that and also to New Street Steakhouse for having us. Big crowd. Everyone that turned out last night,

awesome night. Thank you so much. Right now it is, are you ready to do this in front of people? We always get a bit nervous singing the fact of the day jingle with,

when people are watching. Yeah. Because it's normally just us three, isn't it? Because it's stupid. But we're in a studio, we don't have to worry are watching. Yeah. Because it's normally just us three, isn't it? Because it's stupid. But we're in a studio, we don't have to worry about it. I might go under the table. Well, that's not going to look weird.

That's even going to look worse. Just do it. All right. Quick, these hypes. Can you guys do it too? Can you run to it? Okay, here we go. All right, it's time for

Fact of the Day, Day, Day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about chocolate. Chocolate. Chocolate. Until, and this blew my mind, throughout the history of chocolate, more than 3,000 years of chocolate, it wasn't until 1847 that chocolate was solid.

Oh! Pre-1847, chocolate was only drank. Drunk? Drinked. Drinking. Drinked. Drinking, I think. Drunked.

Drunked. It was only in 1847 that a guy called Joseph Fry made the first solid chocolate. Okay. Prior to that, throughout its history, in the... Mayans were big on chocolate? The Mayans, they were the biggest. The Americas.

Cacao. Yeah, the cacao bean. The Americas that were massive on chocolate, they just drank it. In various forms, but always liquid. Yeah, right. Not to be snacked on in a king-size block that's sitting on your chest while you recline on the couch and say, I'll get up and do some exercise tomorrow.

Do you think it was one of those by accident discoveries, like he just opened the fridge, left a hot drink in there? That it went hard. And it went hard, and he's like, hang on a second, there's something in this. But they didn't have fridges then, did they? What year was this? Did they have fridges?

I don't know. Not like fridges like, did they? What year was this? Did they have fridges? I don't know. He, no, not like fridges like we know them. Like our ice packs. It wasn't until like the late 1800s that refrigeration, do you know, I actually remember that from New Zealand history. We studied it in high school because that was when settlements like Nelson, which we're in today, really took off because you could get your exports overseas. Oh, yeah, okay. If you just chucked some lamb chops on a boat,

they'd be pretty manky by the time they got to England. Yeah. But when refrigeration happened, she was all go. So this is basically what happened. Joseph Fry, he learned to make chocolate moldable because he started adding melted butter. And then when the butter would re-harden, he'd have a more solid product. Right. So that's how it first came about.

Yeah. Okay. So for far more of chocolate's existence, chocolate has purely been a drink more than it's been a cake or a hard substance. Hmm. Hmm. 3,000 years of drinking chocolate.

I just want some chocolate now. Yeah, same. Hot chocolate. Well, we've got my goody-goody gumdrops. We can get into that. And somebody's just dropped off some Applebee Farms ice cream as well. So we should do this more often. We should just go and have some biscuits.

Oh, that's great. Oh, this is great. We should do this all the time. People bring down free food and we just talk about it and eat it. Well, the only difference between us and someone sitting on the side of the road being like, have you got any food? Is that we've got microphones. Because you do look homeless. You're not wrong. Well, the only difference between us and someone sitting on the side of the road being like, have you got any food, is that we've got microphones. Because you do look homeless.

You're not wrong. No, I didn't mean that. Oh. I just meant that. Oh, sorry. Ouch. We're just broadcasting our pegging. Yeah.

Okay, right. That's all it is. So today's fact of the day is for far more of chocolate's existence, it has been purely a drink. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah.
