ZM. Head music lives here.
Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show.
Fletch Vaughan and Megan.
And for those coming into Auckland City this morning,
roads still remain closed this morning.
In fact, Nelson Street's closed at Cook Street.
You have to do a loop around the city.
I would actually, if you're getting off your North Western,
when you get to that
first set of traffic lights, turn left.
That's got to be the quicker way.
Well, that's if you need to go to that side of the city.
Otherwise, turn right. When you're getting off at the
traffic light. Oh. Yeah, you know.
Oh, you're not allowed to turn right, though, are you?
You're not allowed to turn right. No.
You can go straight down there and then go right and get
shut out towards Queen Street, but
if you can, if you need to, go left that first left because that's the left I should have taken.
But I got bloody...
Well, again, they're saying if you don't need to come into the city today, check with your workplace.
You may be able to work from home because, yeah, traffic...
Super smoky.
Yeah, and again, still smoky.
Super smoky.
There haven't been a lot of details this morning, have there, aren't you?
Read the fire.
Just that they did seem to be making some ground.
Yeah, last I saw was 9 o'clock last night.
They were 85% through it.
But mind you, I didn't see any flames today.
No.
And I did a loop around it.
But still, like, a load of fire trucks all around the convention centre.
Man, that smoke stinks.
Like, I reckon you can almost taste it.
Well, Anya had to evacuate to the parents yesterday.
Yep.
And then the smoke changed to hit your parents, didn't it?
Yeah.
It's a good plan from you.
Where'd she go?
Where'd she go?
That's like when you're sitting around a campfire
and you're like, I might just move.
I'm getting a bit of smoke.
And then you move and the smoke follows you.
Yeah.
Bloody campfires.
Except you wouldn't want to be toasting marshmallows on that situation, would you?
No, not at all.
That'd be smoky.
All right, coming up on the show, the top six.
Yeah, by 2035, humans will be on Mars.
This is the projected date now.
So what, NASA?
Is this NASA's plan?
Is that okay?
The top six shops that Mars Westfield will need.
Yes.
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's story time.
Yeah, I've found three news headlines for stories.
Interesting, odd, quirky news stories.
Funny, maybe.
Oft funny.
And Vaughan and Megan, as always, decide on which headline we delve into.
Headline one, E.T. phone a lawyer.
Headline two, base jumper calls police on himself.
And headline three, prankster delays flight.
Prankster delays flight.
E.T. phone a lawyer is about the guy who played Elliot
and E.T. got done DUI, didn't he?
Yeah.
It's a fall from grace.
Henry.
How old would he be now?
Was he the dad in The Haunting of Hill House?
Yes.
Oh, I didn't watch that.
Yeah.
Did you not?
That was so great.
I loved it.
The horror.
I don't want to ever sleep again.
The horror series.
Yeah.
You know how scared I was at it.
That's him.
Yeah.
What would he be?
Fifty-something? At least, yeah. Yeah. You know how scared I was at it. That's him. Yeah. What would he be? 50-something?
At least, yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay, so do you want base jumper calls police on himself
or prankster delays flight?
Two or three?
Three.
Prankster delays flight.
Delays flight.
Okay.
We go now to the UK where this is being reported.
Oh, hang on.
I've just got to... it's an EU site,
so I've got to accept the cookies.
Do you always have to accept the cookies?
Yeah, when you're in the EU, you always have to accept the cookies
because they made a rule about privacy.
Yeah.
So, I mean, it's probably a good thing.
But a prankster has closed a busy airport.
Now, passengers were flying home from Faro in Portugal
to London's Gatwick Airport.
They were stunned when their pilot left the cockpit
to address them.
He stood at the front of the plane and told them all
that the aircraft on the runway had been ordered by police
not to take off
until a cardboard cutout of Sir Cliff Richard
was returned to duty free.
Somebody stole a...
The figure of the music legend who apparently has a brand of alcohol that he sells.
Cliff Richard.
What kind of alcohol is it?
Speaking of which, there's some gin in the office address.
I know, I saw that.
What? Shall we?
It's just a morning gin.
Well, it probably counted the effects of the Sky City Convention fumes.
I think a gin's quite a good morning drink.
Yeah, right.
It doesn't say here.
It's wine, is it?
Okay.
Well, anyway, passengers then noted a man trundling from the back of the aircraft
with the cardboard cutout, which he'd folded up
and put in the overhead locker.
Uh-oh.
And returned that to the ground staff.
And a tourist from London said,
I don't know how he got it on the plane.
The man seemed in a good mood, not drunk.
He joked to us, they're quick on the case here.
I don't think he was worried about being arrested.
But it's unsure what happened to the man,
whether or not they let him get back on.
But yes, sir, Cliff Richard owns vineyards in Algarve.
Yes, Algarve.
For over 40 years.
Right, his cardboard cutout looking like greets passengers
at the airport to help sell his wine.
Right.
The guy wanted it for his bowls club.
He wanted to put it in his bowls club.
Do you have it?
You've got another story. Did you Google? Because I can't find club. He wanted to put it in his bowls club. Do you have, you've got another story?
Did you Google?
Because I can't find if he... You told me not to.
Oh, another story for this one.
I can't find out if he'd been arrested.
It doesn't say if he'd been arrested in this story.
Oh, I have to...
I'm just looking up how much it costs to buy a bottle of...
Sir Cliff Wright.
Sir Cliff's 60th anniversary special reserve.
£24.50.
Oh.
Plus postage and packaging.
I'd wait till that was on special at Countdown for $6 less.
Yeah.
Because you know it's a good wine if it's got $6 off.
Oh, no, he's got some 10-pound bottles here.
Oh, okay.
All markets covered.
So it's not like super posh.
Okay.
The bottle's not selling it though.
You know how you like
when you buy a bottle of wine
you want the bottle
and the design on the wine
to kind of like lure you in.
Yeah, and all those
gold medal stickers
that don't mean anything.
They mean nothing.
Yeah.
Nothing.
The guy didn't get arrested.
Yes, good.
They said it was all in good fun
and they told him
if he took it back
then no charges
or anything would be laid.
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
Less paperwork.
That'd be me as a policeman.
Just be like, look, just give it back, mate.
Piss off.
Yeah.
I don't have to do paperwork.
Yeah.
Right.
Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
ZM.
So I see there's bad news for guys in the workplace,
although it won't affect you.
Well, it might have affected you originally.
No, actually, I doubt that.
Because we're talking about men in the
workplace. If you work
52 hours a week
or more, it can
affect you in terms of
going bald.
That's bullshit.
I mean, you guys are bald.
I know.
That's what I mean. Even back then
you wouldn't have worked 52 hours.
No, God, no.
So, working, most of us work, well, the average working week is 40 hours, right?
Yep.
So, I mean, if you are doing more than that, you risk losing your hair.
And they've done a big study.
It's 13,000 men were studied.
But it's always genetics.
Yeah, I thought it was hereditary and genetics.
Well, they've said that stress causes a change in hormone levels
in certain areas of the body, which includes the scalp.
But then you could work 40 hours a week and be stressed.
Yeah, that's true.
Very stressed.
Longer hours don't always equal stress, do they?
I mean, if you're tired and you're sleep deprived,
that would probably elevate the situation.
Yeah.
And I guess it varies from person to person
as to where your hormone levels are going to change.
But if you're susceptible to that,
it's certainly not going to help.
Hmm.
Indeed.
But just embrace it, right?
You know?
Well, yeah, but some people can't.
You know those creams and stuff you put on your head or pills or whatever?
The minute you can't afford that...
But there's no cure, so why even bother with that stuff?
Get a lovely toupee.
Because nobody will notice.
I can't even imagine you two with hair.
I mean, I've seen it and it's much better now.
You had horrible spiky hair.
Excuse me?
You used to spike your hair like Scott from Five.
Sometimes.
But that was the time, baby.
Oh, my God.
You were Scott from Five.
You had the necklace too.
I didn't deserve hair, eh?
No.
Unbelievable.
But neither did Vaughn.
That was, oh, no, no.
You looked like Fez from that 70s show.
No, it wasn't Fez.
It was that other one. But we don't talk about him now because he was, oh no. You looked like Fez from that 70s show. No, it wasn't Fez. It was that other one,
but we don't talk about him now
because he was me too'd.
Oh.
Hyde.
Hyde.
Was he me too'd?
I'm pretty sure he was.
Oh, Danny Marsden, he was too.
Yeah.
You had like fluffy tufts.
So, I mean, it's much better now.
So I think some people should just embrace it.
Yeah.
If it's going to happen, just let it happen.
Well, I mean, it certainly sounds like
we should be going home straight after the show, Vaughn.
Like, we don't want any remaining hair to fall out.
God, no.
Can't afford to lose
these brows.
I don't think you're even
near 52 hours.
I think you guys are fine.
Or hours.
I thought you meant minutes.
Also, if you're saying
that we lost hair
because we mistreated it
and didn't deserve it,
how come you've still
got eyebrows?
Excuse me?
Because lamb things
were pencil thin once upon a time.
Yeah, but that was everybody in the club.
That's what I'm saying is everybody in the club was going for the short and sparky or the long and fluffy.
No one was doing the long and fluffy.
I'll go fleetch the short and spiky.
Everybody was doing the long and fluffy.
I never saw your hairstyle as a trend.
You were out on your own there.
How rude.
Yeah, it was an island.
Born as a fashion trend island.
Yeah, I am.
ZM's Fletch,
Vaughan and Megan,
the podcast.
Japan's having the Olympics
next year.
2020,
but they're always planning
well ahead.
And then,
Gay Old Paris
in 2024
is having the Olympics. They revealed their logo yesterday, in 2024. Okay. Is having the Olympics.
They revealed their logo yesterday.
Paris 2024.
Got your Olympic rings.
And above it, an emblem that is supposed to represent the Olympic flame.
With lips.
Oh my God, I didn't notice that.
Yeah.
I like the font.
Some people have an issue with the font, don't they?
Do they?
Well, they think the whole thing's a bit sexy.
So this is the...
Megan, look at this.
I'll show you the logo.
Have you seen this logo?
No.
So look, it's got the Olympic flame there, but with the lips, it makes it look like a head.
Oh, why is there lips?
With like a fringe.
And somebody said it looks like a shampoo,
a jazzy minimalist shampoo logo.
Yeah.
Now it looks like a female face.
Yeah, a female's face.
Why is there lips there?
I think it's to give it like the face of the Olympics.
Maybe that's a Parisian look.
A French kind of sexy.
I don't know.
But a sexy French.
Oh, I like the font.
It does look sexy.
Yeah, I don't mind the font.
It's just not the lips.
Fonts are the least of their issues because it's also remarkably close to Tinder's logo.
The Tinder flame and the Olympic flame.
I mean, they're both flames.
And if you're going to draw a simple flame that you want people to be able to replicate
for your event, there's only so many options for Flames,
but people are saying it looks like a L'Oreal meets Tinder.
It's like L'Oreal's brought out a special shampoo
and it'll help you on Tinder.
Yeah.
But the logo's been judged very harshly.
What was the...
L'Oreal Paris 2024.
Yeah.
Oh, people have already photoshopped. It's good stuff. What was the... It's goodreal Paris 2024. Yeah. Oh, people have already photoshopped.
It's good stuff.
What was the...
It's good stuff.
Go the internet, eh?
So the Tokyo logo's unusual.
It's nice.
It's different.
It's unusual.
It's a bunch of like squares.
Look.
It's a...
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
It's like a kaleidoscope.
You know when you were a kid and you'd get the plastic tube
and you'd look down into it and you'd twist them
and the little coloured beads in the bottom would make it all look different.
That's what the Tokyo Olympics looked like.
And then you'd be like, great, I'm done with this toy.
Stupid toy.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm done.
Done.
But then I don't know what the Rio...
I've never really paid too much attention to the logos.
No, because you've always got the
Olympic rings as standard.
Yeah. Our Rio de Janeiro
was three different coloured people
linked
like it looked like a person.
There's probably another meaning. It looks a little bit like
a doodle.
Right.
Always check your logo doesn't look like a doodle. Always check your logo doesn't look like a doodle.
Always check your logo
doesn't look like it.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
A study's been done
looking into,
and this is pretty gross,
people using their toilet,
well, people using their phone
while they're on the toilet.
People using their toilet
while they're on their phone.
Apparently people using
their toilet every day.
It's crazy, I know.
Yeah.
So you'd all,
I know you are a big gamer on the toilet, Vaughn.
I'll take some time.
You love taking your time on the toilet.
Peruse the Sosh meds.
Why not?
Are you playing your stupid Star Wars game?
I don't have it on my phone.
It's on your iPad. I've only got it on my iPad.
It's not being played.
God.
You're doing an update.
That's why you're not playing it. It's because it's being updated. Yeah, it wouldn't work. It's an update on my iPad. It's not being played. God. You're doing an update. That's why you're not playing it.
It's because it's being updated.
Yeah, it wouldn't work
if it was an update on my iPad.
Always update your stuff
on the work Wi-Fi.
Yeah.
It's free data.
But you would always
use your phone on the toilet?
Always.
Megan?
No.
Never?
No, because I don't.
Boys linger.
Is it because girls have to...
You have to let it linger.
I don't know.
I just feel like you never have your phone on you all the time. No, I
don't. I'm not as attached
to my phone. You leave it in your purse. Yeah, and
I classically leave my
phone at home quite a lot.
So, I just get in and get out.
I don't sit there and
marinate. Yeah, okay. Well,
they've broken it down to which generation
uses their phone the most on the toilet.
Okay.
Millennials use it 90% of the time.
And that's not even the biggest.
Generation Z, they use their phone 96% on the toilet.
Wow.
That's younger than millennials, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Generation X clocked in at 82% While the
Baby boomer
Generation
Used their phone
57%
But do you think
That's because
They've had a lifetime
Of never using
Their phone on the toilet
My parents would never
Use their phone on the toilet
Well they're still
Subscribed to the paper
So they've got to
Read something
Might as well read that
Read the paper
But I'm probably
More like you Megan
I'm in and out.
I'm not,
whereas Vaughn,
you take like,
we're like,
where's Vaughn?
20 minutes later,
oh, I've been on the toilet.
20 minutes?
What, at work?
Yeah, sometimes
when we're supposed to
be having a meeting.
Oh, no,
I just don't want to be
at a meeting.
I'm just sitting
in that big roomy toilet
and the toilet's
just with the door shut.
That's called
the disabled toilet.
The big roomy toilet. I just like to stretch the door shut. That's called the disabled toilet. The big roomy toilet.
I just like to stretch my legs out.
The other one's not big enough.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's gross though because you never wash it.
Like why would you want to take it into the area?
Yeah, I know.
You don't wash your face after you've been poosed.
You don't wash your shoulders.
Like it's not touching anything.
It's touching your face.
What?
The phone. Yeah, but it's touching your hands. You're in the toilet. It's touching your face. What? The phone.
Yeah, but it's touching your hands.
You're in the toilet.
It's touching your hands.
And then you wash your hands
and then you touch your phone again.
And then you put your phone,
but your phone never touches the poos.
No, but technically neither does your hands.
On the phone, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
I think I'm done.
Put it back in your pocket.
Two-ply.
Stand up, wipe your bum, get out, wash your hands.
Get your phone back out.
It's never at any stage had an interaction with poo.
Little particles that you don't see.
Yeah, but you can't worry about the particles
or you'll bloody never go anywhere.
You can't worry about what you can't see.
Like right now there's probably microplastics
from the fire at the Sky City Convention Centre
penetrating every aspect of our body.
But are you worried about it?
You can't worry about these things.
You'll be in absolute shambles if you worry about every possible thing.
All right.
From the ZM think tank, this is the top six.
Hello there.
NASA's chief, Jim, has said humans will be landing on Mars by 2035.
Pushing forward, 2040 was the original date.
He said, no, we'll do it by 2035.
We're aiming for 2033, but we're giving ourselves a little bit of wiggle room.
Okay.
So apparently moving to another moon landing by 2024.
Oh, okay.
That's in the next five years.
That'll be good for all the people that think we didn't land there.
Yeah, that'll be really interesting.
But then they'll just say we faked it again.
True.
Until they get put up there.
Like the Flat Earthers when Elon Musk sent up his car.
Oh, they just said it was fake.
And then if you showed them, they'd say you just drugged them and it was fake.
You can't win an argument.
You just can't convince some people of things.
So, yeah, Marsway 2035.
And you know what that means. There needs to be a Westfield built. Yeah, because every humanity needs a big argument. Some people have things. So, yeah, Mars by 2035, and you know what that means.
There needs to be a Westfield built.
Yeah, because every humanity needs a Westfield.
Correct.
Humans can't exist without a mall.
So the top six shops for Mars Westfield.
Number six, Astronaut's Foot.
Athlete's Foot.
There you go.
There you go.
But they'll still try to upsell you on the socks at the checkout.
They always try to upsell your socks, eh?
Every where you go.
Is an athlete's foot like fungus?
Athlete's foot is a fungal.
Yeah, but it's also a shoe store.
A bold move, Megan.
I can see why you're confused.
A bold move to associate a shop selling new shoes
with what happens when you don't have a clean sock on.
That's probably they're trying to upsell you on the socks.
Yeah, you don't want athlete's foot.
You don't want athlete's foot,
even though you've just been shopping at athlete's foot.
The top six shops Mars Westfield will need.
Number five, Health 2000, million kilometres from home.
Left your vitamin B back on Earth? We've got you covered at Health 2000, million miles from home. Left your vitamin B back on Earth,
we've got you covered at health,
2,000 million miles from home.
Brilliant.
There's all sorts of things in there.
Yeah.
Anything you can need.
Vitamin C.
Because imagine you wouldn't need a good malty
if you're on Mars.
Oh, you'd need a bloody good malty.
You'd be eating a lot of processed food,
I'd imagine.
Yeah, you would be.
Not too many fresh vegetables.
They can make potatoes.
They can make anything. Potatoes, grown in poos. You'd need a Metamucil with me, actually,. Not too many fresh vegetables. They can make potatoes. They can make anything.
I'd want to take some Metamucil with me
actually if I was going to Mars. To get it going.
Keep you regular because you get it moving. Again,
processed food. But you'd also want to take
some ammonia.
Is that what you
take to block yourself up? What do you take
when you've got the runny poos? Oh, yeah,
that's... Charcoal tabby. No, you're
right. What are those called? The diarrhea pills. Yeah. No, yeah. That's... Charcoal tabby. No, you're right.
What are those called?
The diarrhea pills.
Yeah.
No, you take that... The anti-diarrhea pills.
The anti-diarrhea.
You don't know, do you?
You might have diarrhea or you might not have any...
Amodium.
Amodium.
That's what it is.
Does someone text that?
It's got to be the balance.
Did you Google?
No.
Oh, okay.
It just popped into her mind.
Oh, bloody pharmacist over here.
She just remembered.
I have a brain.
Number four on the list.
No comment.
Top six shops Mars Westfields will need.
Bed, bath and beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Brilliant.
For all your towels and stuff you'll need on Mars.
Because I don't know what the atmosphere is like for hanging a towel.
Would you expect it to dry?
No, not enough power to get a heated towel, right?
No, I don't think so.
Is it dusty though?
You don't want to bring your towel,
you bring in your Sheridan's.
And they'd be all orangey towels.
You wouldn't hang them outside.
No.
You'd have a drying room or something.
Number three on the list of the top six shops
Mars Westfield will need,
Space Flight Centre.
For unbeatable flight specials back to Earth.
Brilliant.
Confidence your Space Flight Centre.
Lowest rocket fares guaranteed.
And then you know how there's the captain.
It's not him anymore.
It's just a space shuttle captain that they voice over.
Yeah.
With all the different accents.
With all the different sexy enough voice, yeah.
All the different Mars accents.
Yeah.
Number two on the list of the top six shops
Mars Westfield will need,
rod and laser gun.
For the rural astro lad
who wants a warm sweater and a vest
to wear to a nice occasion.
Yeah, on Mars.
Okay, great.
Get in there.
They love a checkered shirt.
That's your formal vest.
Yeah.
And in the window of the shop, it won't have that dog doing that thing where it's got a leg lifted.
It's like, duck over here.
It'll be like a robot dog.
Yeah.
Brilliant.
What's that garage company with the robot dog?
I don't know.
I'm sure, mate.
I'm sure.
You know, it's not cottage because they've got to get a garage, got to get a cottage, got to get a sky.
Garador?
Garador. No, Garador only do doors to get a cottage, got to get a sky. Garador? Garador.
No, Garador only do doors.
Yeah, no, I know what you mean.
Garage company with...
Does it matter?
I could go on without knowing.
It's not like something I need to know.
No, but it's annoying me now because the ads are always on
during like the cricket and stuff.
Who can? Total span. That's total span. That's the total always on during like the cricket and stuff. Who can?
Total span.
That's total span.
That's the total span dog.
Thank God I know that.
The total span dog.
Yeah.
You were all wiser for having known it.
Total span.
I'm getting messages now.
Thank you.
Yeah, people are all messaging and all the texting shit.
That's great.
Who can?
Total span.
Great work.
Total span.
Obviously, your advertising's worth.
Yeah.
Working for Pete's son, but not us. Do you still do your advertising's working for Pete's Sunbeam, not us.
Do you still do your voiceover for that garage door company?
I don't know.
Garage door, I don't know.
I think they bumholed me when I didn't want to.
No, they didn't.
They got rid of you.
They got rid of me.
Garage door bumholed me.
Garage door did not bumhole me.
I was going to say, you know when someone gets ready,
you get arseholed.
They arseholed me, but I was like, how's that arseholed? I was like, bumhole me. I was going to say, you know when someone gets rid of you, you get arsehole. Yeah.
Are they arsehole?
But I was like,
how's that arsehole?
Is that on your link?
Bumhole.
But then I say bumhole
and it makes it sound like
something really inappropriate happened.
Is that on your LinkedIn?
Now you've said them all.
Is that on your LinkedIn?
Like 2017 to 2019.
Then Garadol bumholed me.
Until bumholing.
Yeah.
Who's their voice now?
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't know if they've got, I don't know if they've got a voice.
But I couldn't speak at their staff conference.
Well, they'd definitely bum-holed you.
They asked me to emcee their staff conference.
Oh, right.
If they hadn't already, they have now.
I was booked.
Right.
Always happy to come back.
Garridor.
Always happy to come back.
You need a dog
they need a cute dog
they need the total span
a robot dog
they need the total span
okay
and number one
in the top six shops
Mars Westfield will need
Kmart
oh of course
is that all
no joke there
no joke
they just definitely
have a Kmart
alright
that is today's top six
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan
the podcast mum's seen a photo yesterday not nodes not That is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast.
Mum sent a photo yesterday.
Not Nodes.
Not Megan.
As previously established on the show.
As previously established.
I'm showing you a photo there, Megan.
Oh, is that about the snow on the mountain?
The snow on the mountain.
Yeah, right.
I got the classic snow on the mountain photo.
So when the snow on, because Mum and Dad live in New Plymouth,
when the snow gets, when there's a big dumping, I always get a photo.
There's snow, or it'll be like there's snow on the mountain,
or, oh, it's down low.
Yeah.
It's on the ranges.
I get that too.
In Nelson, there's snow on the ranges.
It's cold today, or the frost.
Because there is, like, next couple of days a bit chillier,
because there has been a bit of a cold snap of dumping,
even though we've been lulled into the fact
that it's the end of October and it's getting warmer.
Because Auckland got hail yesterday.
It was nippy.
She captioned the photo,
would you like some of this stuff to put on your fire?
Cheapie.
Banter.
Banter.
Banter from Bev.
Is it always from the same spot?
Where did she take that photo from?
Well, no, that's from her work.
She goes to the big window that overlooks there
and gets a lovely view of the mountain.
So when you get a photo of the mountain,
it's always from the same spot.
Yep.
My parents aren't really photo senders.
I reckon I would get this photo three, four times a year.
When there's a big dump.
And it's great because I love the mountain.
This is my hometown.
It's a beautiful maunga.
You know, when you can see it.
I mean, it is partially covered in cloud here, as it always is.
Yeah.
But yeah, it just got me thinking, like, what are those go-to things that your parents always send?
Right.
And it doesn't have to be a photo.
Maybe it's just the classic thing they always go to about the weather.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like chat.
Yeah.
I always get the weather chat.
I always get it.
Raining at your place.
Windy at your place.
Beautiful day here.
Let me give you an example.
We asked on our Instagram, FBMZM, what your parents always send you.
Someone's like the cat, the lawn when it's got a cold frost. Oh, what your parents always send you. Someone's like, the cat,
the lawn when it's got a cold frost.
Oh yeah, all frost.
So their parents will always send them
when it's frosty on the lawn.
Yeah.
News articles of people dying
slash being murdered
because I'm travelling in that area.
Yes.
Llamas.
Pan views of what the weather is doing.
We live half an hour away from each other.
That's pretty good.
Mum and Dad are rocking a panorama. Yeah. Well, yeah, that each other. That's pretty good. Mum and Dad are rocking a panorama.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, that's true.
That's pretty good.
Because that can be hard on the iPad, can't it?
Well, very hard.
You've got to hold it so steady.
Yeah.
Someone else also gets super blurry pixelated pics of what I assume are birds at their bird feeder.
Right.
So mum's always updating them with their birds at the bird feeder.
I love that.
This is brilliant.
Somebody else said my dad sends people, including me,
photos of meat that he's cooked.
Always.
Always.
That's you.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
My mum sends pictures of biscuits she's cooked.
That's a hot line.
That's a hot line.
That's a tease.
That's an absolute tease because you can't have those.
Although she does send some to you.
So this is what I wanted to know.
Let's get the ball rolling.
0800 DARS at M.
Text her 9696.
What do your parents always send you?
Pictures wise.
Pictures wise, yeah.
Content.
What's your parents' go-to content?
Talking about your parents' go-to pictures.
The picture.
Your parents' go-to content.
They always send you.
Yesterday I got a picture of the mountain covered in snow. I'd get that picture I Your parents go to content. They always send you, yesterday I got a picture of the mountain
covered in snow.
I'd get that picture I reckon four times a year.
But I love it. I love it.
Because you love a bit of mountain. Love a bit of monger.
So we want to know what they're always
sending in. Some text messages.
My dad always sends
through photos of gardening
when he's been doing some gardening.
Look, oh big day in the gardens.
And it looks exactly the same as it did the last time they sent through.
But he'd spent all day in the garden.
He just wants to be appreciated.
He's done all that work.
And then he'll send through a photo of his hand with a beer can in it.
Enjoying one of these after a big day in the garden.
I bloody deserve it.
Yeah.
Bless.
I always get directly sent photos of my nieces from my mum.
Even though we're on the same family WhatsApp chat
and we get all the photos,
mum saves them off and sends them to me specifically.
That's cute.
Ashley, what does mum always send?
It's actually dad.
Okay.
And every month without fail,
he sends punch in a punch for the first of the month.
Oh.
And sometimes he even jazzes it up with an emoji.
Oh, okay.
Is there a punch emoji?
I don't think so. There's a punch one.
Yeah, there's a punch one.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Sometimes it's just random too.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Just a random emoji.
Okay, no connection emoji.
Does it ever get to late at night and he's like, whoop, nearly forgot?
No, usually it's like first thing in the morning
because he has to make sure that none of us are up yet.
Yeah, yeah, he definitely, he'd have a reminder set on his phone.
That is the cutest.
Ashley, thanks for your call, Chantal.
Who's always texting you, mum or dad?
Both.
Okay.
Usually I get the messages at the same time,
so mum will always send me a text of my dad when he's done something stupidly dumb.
Either he's gone out and spent way too much money at hunting and fishing or something.
And my mum will always caption it, look at what your father has done now.
And she just fully denies that she's even married this guy.
And when he's done something stupid.
Like it's your fault.
Yeah, like it's definitely my fault.
She means that night I'll get a text of what my dad's cooked for dinner
because he knows that he's done something wrong
and the only way to make it up to mum is to cook dinner.
And it's always sausages, eggs and chips, guaranteed.
Sausages.
That's a classic dad meal, eh?
It's got all your major food groups.
Brilliant.
Chantelle, thanks for your call. Claudia,
what do your parents always
send you photos of?
Well, it's mum, and so about
six months ago
she got a new cat called Nelson.
Okay. And I've moved out
of home, so every day she
likes to update me on Nelson.
So she sends me nice photos of him on his big kingdom,
his big scratching tower that she bought off Marketplace, which is lovely.
So she loves just sending me lots of photos of Nelson every day.
Wow.
Which is lovely because I do miss Nelson.
Yeah.
That's so cute.
Wow.
I know if I ever got my parents, they would always hold the cats up. Yeah. That's so cute. Wow. I know if I even Skype my parents, they'll always hold the cats up.
Yeah, that's so them.
And then they're like, I don't know where the other cat is.
I'll call them.
I know.
Nelson's always missing.
So we're always looking for Nelson.
Yeah, it's like just that five minutes you're spending looking for the cat,
we could just not be doing this.
No, but I've got a worse one because my kids say to my mum and dad,
where are the cats?
And mum's like, I'll go find them.
I'm like, no, just, oh, God, why do you have to ask kids?
Yeah, say they're away.
Mum's the one on the steps calling Nelson at, like, 10 at night,
waiting for him to come Ask for text messages. My dad always sends pictures of ugly animals or monkeys
that he finds in the newspaper and says,
look, it's you.
That's a dad classic.
Few parents are getting involved in the wild fowl ducks, mostly.
Dad always sends videos of him calling ducks
and they come and drive as he thinks he's a duck whisperer.
Somebody else says, mum will take on any duck
next to my parents place. She's always
feeding them specially purchased palates
and always, she always sends
photos of like the disabled duck saying
oh look at this beautiful duck.
They've all got names.
So I don't really need all of those.
Just imagine all of this.
It's great. My stepdad sends me and my husband pictures of Jesus
and quotes about loving God and God loving you daily.
Are you allowed to block family members?
I was about to say, all of this content we love,
like, don't stop.
I don't want parents to think we want them to stop.
Your mum always sends you biscuits, eh?
You mentioned that.
Biscuits and pictures of my brother's dogs.
But didn't she send you a half-eaten biscuit the other day?
Oh, because there's a biscuit muncher in the house.
They take a bite and put it back in the biscuit tin.
There's only two.
It's not your mum.
It must be your dad.
Or my brother.
Oh, is he a biscuit eater?
Yeah.
Who comes into someone's house and eats half a biscuit?
I don't know.
Like, just eat the whole biscuit.
Don't want to commit to the whole thing.
Somebody said, I always get photos when Dad's out fishing.
Of fish he's caught, but also if there's ever a dolphin in the water.
Boy, oh boy.
He loves sending me a bunch of blurry photos of a dolphin.
Oh, okay, blurry.
I love seeing dolphins going through the water.
That's pretty cute.
Yeah, it's exciting.
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.
Caitlin, for people who weren't listening the other day,
you're single.
You're back on Facebook Marketplace.
No, yeah. Single. You're back on Facebook Marketplace.
No.
Within a 25-kilometre radius,
$250 on your offer.
No.
No warrant of fitness.
As is, whereas, tyres are a little worn.
What?
I don't even know what that means,
but it sounds disrespectful.
Yeah.
I'm great. You have a human version of your car.
Yellow.
Yellow.
A yellow Honda Jazz.
Yellow and needs a new radiator.
And often getting the back window popped out.
What does that mean?
That's factual.
What does that mean?
You had your back window popped out.
It only happened once. No, I've taped that up twice. What does that mean? You had your back window popped. It only happened once.
No, I've taped that up twice.
Or was that your last car?
No, that was Ross's car that I borrowed.
Oh, that's right.
Stop it.
So for those that missed the announcement,
you are single now and you are back on Bumble.
Yeah.
And it's fun and it's nice to meet new people, isn't it?
I'm glad you're having fun.
I'll disagree with you on that.
No,
I've met enough people.
I'm done with meeting people.
Don't need any more new friends.
Yeah,
you've got a wife and kids though.
And also,
you don't have that many friends.
You could use some more.
I do not need nor want any more.
You've got too many animals.
I'll always have some more animals.
Okay.
Go on.
So anyway, I'm not going to go into it because it's none of your business.
But here are the details.
But here are the details.
No, I went on a date last night, it's real cute, whatever.
But on the way, I'm not going to tell you anymore.
On the way to the date, because I always run late for everything.
Like this is, I have a problem and I actually need to fix it. Because it's actually really inconsiderate. But I was run late for everything. Like, this is, I have a problem, and I actually need to fix it
because it's actually really inconsiderate.
But I was running late.
And so I was doing my makeup in the car because I got, like, a bit sweaty.
Yep.
Oh, attractive.
Yeah.
So I just had the air con pumping during my makeup in the car
at the stop sign, and I was, like, really going for it, like, vigorously,
like, getting the mascara, like like doing the kissy face.
Doing your makeup, porn, you dork.
I didn't say that.
Porn!
You're a child.
I didn't do anything.
Well, stop it.
Don't look at me.
Turn around.
And then, yeah, like doing the kissy face and stuff
at the stop sign.
And then I looked to my right,
and there's this guy sitting in the back with his friend. There was a girl in the front, a guy driving, and then I looked to my right and there's this guy
sitting in the back
with his friend.
There was a girl
in the front,
a guy driving
and then another guy
in the back
and the guy in the back
just gave me
the biggest like
A-OK
little wink
like good to go.
And I was like
that is so wholesome
and I looked at him
and I was like
oh my god
and I laughed
and then I looked back
and I was like
thanks.
And I got the A-OK
that I was here to go.
Was he hot?
Did you think he was good? I couldn't really see yeah maybe but I was on, thanks. And I got the A-OK that I was going to go. Was he hot? Did you think he was flirt?
I couldn't really see.
Yeah, maybe.
But I was on my way.
Only one person at a time, Fletch.
At least I could.
That is not the rules.
That is not the rules.
He's too hot, Petal Black.
Fletch doesn't play by that.
No.
He's a discolour.
No.
Excuse me.
I won't be shamed.
A couple of multiplayer games going on in here.
You've got to keep your options open. It gives you like four screen options. So you might as well use them. Well, it's like Fortnite shamed. A couple of multiplayer games going on in here. You've got to get your options open.
It gives you like four screen options, so you might as well use them.
Well, it's like Fortnite, man.
It's 100 people and it's all on all.
Now, tell us about this guy that you were going on a date with.
No, I told you it's none of your business.
How did the date go?
It was great.
Okay, but just tell us what he does for a job.
No.
Are you kidding me?
That's giving us all the ammunition we need.
I worry because remember you went on the date with that guy.
I worry.
He said he was an undercover policeman.
He had a name.
Gary.
Gary from Crime Squad.
And then it turned out he wasn't even an undercover policeman.
Because he told you he was an undercover policeman.
And that's what they don't do.
What does this guy do?
I'm not telling you.
Give us a clue.
Are you going to see him again? I don't know. Maybe. Give us a clue. Give us a clue. Are you going to see him again?
I don't know.
Maybe.
Well, give us a clue.
No, I'm like chill.
Has he messaged?
Yeah, we messaged last night.
Like after the date?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, give us a clue.
No.
Make a sound.
Make a sound that goes with this job.
I want details.
Did you get a kiss?
No.
Did you get a side cheek kiss?
I tried to.
No, I didn't.
No, no, no.
Why don't we do an exchange?
You tell us what the person you're dating does
and Fletch can tell us what the person he's dating is studying.
Which one?
Absolutely.
What is going on here?
This is unfounded.
This is actually unfounded.
Good times. Okay is actually unfounded. Good times.
Okay, play the song.
Ads.
Oh, good stuff.
All right.
So wait, what was the climax of that story?
That it was embarrassing?
No, the guy looked at me and was like, you're all good.
Did you not like that part?
It felt like you'd tried to make that the main point,
but you really just wanted to tell everyone and you went on a date?
No, I didn't.
You're such a bitch.
That's what it felt like.
I mean, we all knew that, but we're not going to call her out about it.
What did you do yesterday?
Feed some chickens.
Come on, mate.
Caitlin, that's actually quite rude of you to say
because that means something else.
What?
Feeding chickens.
What?
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding?
What is wrong with the world?
Are you kidding me?
That's what it means?
When did feeding chickens stop meaning
actually giving sustenance to the chickens?
It can still mean that, but you've just got to be very definitive.
Boy, you're so gross.
I know, I know.
Got an email yesterday, a serious email.
I knew straight away it was serious.
I was with my husband and I hid my phone a little bit and I was like,
I'm going to come back to that when I'm alone.
Now,
I want to preempt this
by saying
the start of next year
I've got like three weddings.
So like I need
three dresses.
I need like
something to wear.
You can't recycle
from other weddings or?
No, they're too close.
Oh, no,
from other weddings.
Things you already own.
No, but I haven't really
been to any weddings
for a wee while. But you've got nice dresses you could wear. Easy. No, I from things you already own. No, but I haven't really been to any weddings for a wee while.
But you've got nice dresses you could wear.
Easy.
No, I don't.
Whose side are you on?
No, they're old.
You don't look like a fashion anymore.
You literally said yesterday or the day before,
I've got so many things, there's tags still on them.
Yeah, but I also said some of those things were like goal things
that I don't fit currently.
Oh, yeah, okay, right.
Well, the wedding's next year, just saying.
What?
Ouch!
Ouch!
You said the goal things.
Have you?
If you're going to set a goal,
it should never be with Christmas, New Year's,
summer in between.
Yeah.
Fair call.
You're only setting yourself up for failure.
Yeah.
Because of chocolate.
That's busy season.
Yeah.
So, yesterday I got an email.
So, I went on the iconic, the website,
and I treated myself. myself Also there was a sale
So I saved myself so much money
But I did spend $212
But like on four items
And all dresses you can wear for your weddings
Yeah
You paused, you hesitated slightly
There was one other thing that was just like cute and I just needed.
Okay.
But yeah, three dresses and $212.
Now, thinking about it, that was probably a little bit dumb,
spending that much money on an overseas thing that has to be brought into New Zealand.
But nevertheless, I did it.
And I got an email yesterday.
It says, I'm contacting you on behalf of the Iconic regarding your shipment traveling,
blah, blah, blah, code numbers.
We're reaching out to you because you may or may not be aware that your order to be
delivered by DHL has incurred additional duties and taxes upon entry into your country.
You got stung.
I've never had an email from like this before, though.
Usually you get it from customs.
Yeah.
Saying.
It's not spam.
Like it's not online.
Someone trying to trick me.
Yeah.
Because they do say.
So now they've explained and said,
if you wish to have your parcel delivered,
please arrange to make a payment of,
now remember my shopping was $212.
Please arrange a payment of $176.45.
God, that's almost like you have to buy it at New Zealand shops.
I have to buy it again.
At local retailers.
Shock horror.
Shock horror.
It's like they're trying to stop you shopping internationally
to support the local economy.
I know, it's weird, isn't it?
Shocking.
And then they put all the payment details down below
and I was like, am I being scammed?
Because it does sound like a scam to me.
But then...
I did reach out to this customer service people
and I was like, absolutely not.
Don't want, send it back.
Give me a refund, I'm not paying that.
So they can send it back.
Apparently so.
And you don't have to pay anything.
Yeah.
And so I also messaged
Iconic because I'm smart and I wanted to
make sure that I wasn't being scammed
and they messaged and said we're sorry
for any disappointment as we
appreciate you as one of our valued customers.
Don't tell my husband that.
See she's showing off about that but she doesn't
want us to tell Mr Toyboy.
He'll be like why are you a valued customer?
Because occasionally I buy.
You buy things.
But they said this change is in line with most other online retailers
who deliver parcels internationally.
And Ternania, you're a regular online shopper.
What is the cutoff?
Because this is amateur hour from you, Meg,
and I thought it was $200 or $250.
I thought it was $250.
So I've got the What's My Duty Estimator calculator here
and put in some different sums.
It looks like if you go over $230,
that's when you're going to get stung.
But it does say this isn't 100% done deal.
This is $212.55.
So if the duty is under $60 and they waive it,
but if it adds up to be more than that percentage,
then that's when you have to pay it
and get your NPI levy and all that jibber jabber.
Because my in-laws are in America at the moment
and they keep sending me photos of barbecues.
Yeah.
And I'm looking for a new barbie.
Yeah.
And they're like, oh, what about this one?
And then by the time, so for example,
there was one and it was quite a cool one.
It was 900 US dollars.
What?
For a barbecue.
That's him too.
That's not me.
He's giving you the difference.
You've got a barbecue.
But this is a bigger one.
You're crazy, man.
So this is 900 US dollars.
So when you take into account.
That's 1,400 New Zealand dollars. So 1,400. This has done its calculations for me because this is 900 US dollars. That's 1,400 New Zealand dollars.
So 1,400. This has done its
calculations for me because this is everything. I haven't got
it. I haven't got it. Yeah.
It's cool but I'm not spending that
much money on it at the moment. So that
goes through to just shy of 1,500
bucks. Then your duty is
5 cents for every dollar spent.
Okay. So that's $72
duty and then GST as well.
That's another $228.
So you'd be paying
over $1,700?
$1,750?
But that still kind of makes sense
because if it's $1,500
the duty's like $200 or whatever.
This is almost the price
of which I paid.
Yeah, so what are you just
going to get it sent back?
Oh, I said absolutely.
I'm not paying that.
Send it back.
But then that's rubbish because then you can go to the Iconica,
whatever you shop on, and then just split that into two orders.
Free shipping.
Yeah.
And then like, you're just doubling your plastic,
you're doubling your plane, you're handling.
Yeah.
And that's legal.
But they're forcing my hand.
I mean, they're forcing me to do this to the environment
no I've sent it all back
I'm getting a refund
wear one of your old dresses for the wedding
but now it's hard
because you want to tell Mr Toyboy
how like responsible you were
and how you saved $176
but then he'll be like well you were about to spend $212
yeah so none of this
ever happened.
And all you snitches who go into the cafe and tell them everything we talk about,
don't do that today.
Don't you hate when you do something you want to show off to your partner for,
but it's only because you were doing something that they weren't supportive of in the first place.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.
Jojo Rabbit, the movie, the latest movie by Taika Waititi
is out in cinemas in New Zealand today.
We're going to be talking to Taika just after 8 o'clock.
But Fletch and Megan, I saw this movie separate to you guys.
We would have seen it about a month ago.
Yeah.
It was just as it was at the Toronto Film Festival.
That's when we saw it, yeah.
Wowing audiences.
Oh, you loved it, didn't you?
I went again last night.
I've seen it twice now.
Yeah.
It's that good.
Oh, I loved it.
It's such a good movie.
So much so that you touted it as...
Well, I said it was my movie of the year.
Big call.
Why is that a big call?
Huge call.
Megan, also, would you say it's your movie of the year?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Star Wars has a new term.
Rise of Skywalker.
Was there, what was the Marvel movies that were out this year?
Captain Marvel.
Okay, so.
Oh, yeah, Captain Marvel was good.
Avengers was great.
But you know what you're getting with Avengers.
You know what you're getting.
It's not something new.
It's not.
We live in a time when, you know, you want original and fresh and, you know,
and this movie is just so great.
It's so different.
So different.
You're funny and heartfelt.
It even got Fletch.
He was a little bit, like, taken at the end.
That's a big feat.
Thank you, Megan.
I mean, he didn't cry.
And you would say I've got great taste in movies.
I'm not like Megan.
When I recommend a movie to you, you always like it.
All you bloody watch is British crime mysteries.
And what's wrong with that?
And Jack Bauer.
Everything that came henceforth from the 24.
And I recommend things to both of you.
And then two months later, you're like,
have you guys seen Insert Exactly What I Just Recommended two months earlier?
I never recall any of that.
No, no.
Do you ever recall that, Bourne?
No.
You didn't hear me.
But you do like some rubbish stuff.
Like what?
I don't think she's got that bad a taste in it.
No, there's one movie you said, and I went and I was like, oh, I regret coming to this.
I said Mamma Mia 2 was rubbish.
Megan, ouch!
Even though a friend of the show worked on it.
It's like,
not, but then I never, I hadn't seen
the first one, so obviously maybe that didn't make sense.
But you're also not a, I feel
like that's a real mum movie, Mamma Mia.
They're real mums movies.
Thank you, calling me too young to appreciate that.
So, when Fletch
said movie of the year,
the movie company said,
is it all right if we use that quote?
And Fletch was like, yeah, sure.
But I didn't know what they were going to use it for, did I?
He was like, yeah, quote me.
It's the winner of the People's Choice Award
at the Toronto Film Festival,
with critics and audiences both raving.
News Hub give it five stars. Oh, R.O.P. The Times call it extraordinary. Yep. I made the ad.
I was the stars.
I'd give it five stars.
Did you hear the Times?
But did you check with everyone at ZM before you could just label that as movie of the year on our behalf?
I thought they might say Fletch from ZM. I don just label that as movie of the year on our behalf? I thought they might say
Fletch from ZM. I don't know.
But Megan agrees. Movie
of the year. And you
said we hyped it up too much for you because
we've been on about it every single day.
Yeah, I keep going on about it.
Look, it's a great movie. It's a phenomenal movie.
But it's not your
movie of the year. He's a Marvel dude
though. Yeah. I'm hanging out for the Star Wars movie because it's going to be the final of the Year? He's a Marvel dude though.
I'm hanging out for the Star Wars movie because it's going to be the final in the trilogy.
And also I haven't seen it yet.
Cute robots, laser
chases and those thingies.
Beam me up Scotty.
It's all the same shit every day.
You should have said Movie of the Year asterisk.
I haven't seen all the movies.
It's still a year pending.
It's still October. But it is an all the movies that have come out this year. It's still a year pending. Pending.
It's still October.
But it is an incredible movie either way
and it is out today.
It's a great movie.
It is.
And Taika Waititi,
director and writer.
That should have been our quote.
Pretty great movie.
Pretty great movie.
Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.
The podcast.
ZM.
The movie Jojo Rabbit
is out today.
Today you boys will be involved in such activities as four games.
Ambush techniques.
Zimbloing stuffer.
I don't think I can do this.
What?
Of course you can.
It's so good it's out today in cinemas across the country.
And Taika Waititi is the director and we have him on the phone with us right now.
Taika, how are you?
Hi.
Yeah, good.
How are you?
Good.
You sound busy somewhere.
Whereabouts are you at the moment?
I'm in a little room talking to you guys on a phone
in an office in LA.
Does it sound like you're...
I'm busy, though.
I'm doing other stuff.
I've got other stuff going on in my life.
It sounded like you were clambering,
like climbing over something,
but someone had left something in the way and you had to get to a desk, sounded like you were clambering, like climbing over something, but someone had left
something in the way and you had to get to a desk, but
there's some clambering. Yeah, no, I was.
I was.
Take off my shoes. Some light
clambering. It's an incredible movie.
We've had the chance to see it early
and wow, I absolutely loved
it. Oh, good. I'm
glad. And I must say,
those children who acted in this are phenomenal.
You always get the most amazing movies, performances out of kids.
What's the secret?
Well, I don't know, really.
I think you've just got to cast the right kids.
I just try and find kids that are just not idiots.
That doesn't make sense.
That's a good TED Talk.. That's a good TED Talk.
You've got a good TED Talk.
That's right there.
How to find kids that aren't idiots.
Welcome to my TED Talk.
There aren't many.
No, yeah.
No, I find kids that have got a sensitivity
and have some sort of emotional connection
to what they're doing when they perform or maybe to the text. sensitivity and some sort of emotional connection to, you know,
to what they're doing when they perform or, you know, maybe to the text.
And there's some sort of emotional maturity as well
so that they understand what it is that I'm asking of them.
Right.
There you go.
That's a good little lesson for you guys.
That would print better than I just tried to find kids that aren't idiots.
Yeah, that was more my advice to you guys for how to do interviews.
Oh, right, right.
Good call.
Gotcha.
Sam Rockwell, who has for a long time been one of my favourite actors.
So good to see him in your movie.
What's he like to work with?
He's really, he's quite a good actor, isn't he?
He's not bad.
I didn't have much hope in him, but he actually does.
All right, Rockwell, let me look you up on IMDb.
What's this?
Moon?
What were you doing on the moon?
Last thing I saw him in was Galaxy Quest,
and he was pretty good in that, I guess.
Yeah.
So I thought I'll just give him this part.
Give a struggling actor a go.
So how,
I'm a career maker.
Had you read,
because I didn't know it was based on a book
until in the opening credits,
it says based on Caging Skies.
Had you read that when you were younger?
Has this been something
that's been bouncing around in your head
or was it a recent read?
Everything I've read past tense,
I was younger.
You've got me there.
My mum
read this book
and
this was a woman, Christine
Lernens, who lives in New Zealand.
And my mother was reading this book
in 2010 or 2011
and told me about it.
And so she turned me on to the story and then I
went and read it and adapted it
and added a few sort of other, you know,
Taika-ish kind of flair, if you want to call it,
and, a.k.a. jokes.
And then there you go.
Were the actors in the movie the first choice
or the first people to say yes,
or were there others that turned it down?
Scarlett was the first choice, and she said yes.
Sam was, he was the first choice too.
Okay.
Who else was there?
Stephen Merchant.
In fact, I feel like I'm quite lucky with all of these people.
People don't say no to me anymore, you know that, guys?
I've heard.
I don't know if you've heard, but I'm a big Hollywood douche now.
I have read that in the past 10 years,
there's only been one movie that was nominated for People's Choice
at Toronto Film Festival that hasn't been nominated for Best Picture at the
Oscars.
Oh God, am I going to be the second?
No, but I was
just saying, there's lots of Oscar buzz.
You're going to jinx it. Sorry.
We're some wood.
This is so Kiwi of you.
You just can't
stand to see me doing well, can you
guys? You just want me to fail.
I thought it was so key with you.
Megan gave you a compliment and you immediately batted it away.
That's so true.
No, it's awesome, man.
I was really stoked to get that award.
It was the first time that I'd accompanied one of my films to Toronto.
So it was a really amazing response.
We got so many standing ovations.
They didn't even need the seats in the cinema, if you know what I mean.
Just to have your work recognised and to feel a little validated.
Because it's a hard thing making a film in general,
but it's also harder making a film like this.
So it felt very good, and yeah, whatever happens after this,
you know, in a very Kiwi way, I'll just say, yeah, it'll be all right.
Was it all filmed on set?
Did you do some location shooting?
Yeah, we did some location shooting's like that river that wasn't
a set that was a real river you remember that yeah you remember that but how was it the bicycles out
in that big country the road so that's not a set was it because it's a real place that's not a set
bro did i read was it prague that you shot in yeah prague so we're in the czech republic
okay guys one more question okay one more question you Prague. We're in the Czech Republic. Okay, guys, it's time for one more question. Okay, cool.
One more question, you guys.
Okay, you're getting the wrap up.
One more question.
We'll make it a good one.
I am.
Everyone here,
you can't see it.
Everyone here in the room
is twirling their fingers
as they wrap it up.
Wrap it up.
I get that a bit,
but now I don't know
if we've got one more.
You can't see them.
I don't want to put
too much pressure
on the last question.
Okay. Make it a two pressure on the last question. Okay.
Make it a two-pronged question.
Like a multi-choice?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Like a multi-choice question.
What are you wearing?
Oh, she ruined her last question.
Sorry.
You idiot.
You've got to answer it.
Okay.
Well, I've got two odd socks on.
That's good.
That's what you do nowadays.
You've ruined our last question.
So when people are doing the wind-up finger,
are you sure they're telling us to wind it up?
If you're just only wearing socks,
they might be more like, you should put some clothes on.
Put some clothes on.
That was another question.
You snuck another question in there.
Oh, I did.
You get one last question,
because you're from my home country.
What light-hearted historical figure will you be taking on next?
Well, what am I going to do?
I don't know.
I don't know what I'm going to be playing next,
but my next film is about soccer.
I'm making a film based on a documentary called Next Goal Wins,
which is set in American Samoa, and it's about the American Samoan soccer team. is about soccer. I'm making a film based on a documentary called Next Goal Wins,
which is set in American Samoa,
and it's about the American Samoan soccer team.
Oh, okay.
How cool.
Oh, okay.
There we go.
Damn it, now I've got to find more questions about upcoming projects.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, well, the movie Jojo Rabbit is out today
in cinemas across the country.
We've had a chance to see it.
We loved it.
And it's a beautiful movie.
Not only is it funny, very moving.
Yeah, just incredible.
Definitely get a chance.
If you get a chance, go and see it.
Taika Waititi.
You don't have to.
Thank you.
One more question.
Was Korg in the final Avengers battle?
Yes.
You didn't see him?
No, I didn't see him.
Mate.
Okay.
Go back. Great question. Great final question. Great final No, I didn't see him. Mate. Okay. Go back.
Great question.
Great final question.
Great final question.
I'm happy with it.
Tiger, thank you so much for talking to us.
Oh, that's okay.
Thank you for talking to me.
We got a girl.
Fact of the day, day a man that bought down an aircraft with a lasso.
Okay.
You've got me interested.
What got me into the story was I was reading about a man in World War II
who claimed he was running a delivery route in a bigger plane, a US soldier.
Yeah.
And out of nowhere, the Japanese aircraft strafed the plane and it caught fire.
So they all needed an abandoned ship.
Okay.
So abandoned plane.
So he jumped out and pulled his parachute.
And then he got shot in the left shoulder. Okay. So, abandoned plane. So, he jumped out and pulled his parachute and then he got shot in the
left shoulder. Yep. And
he said he acted
dead. Yep. As he was parachuting
and falling. Oh, yeah. And a plane
came around a circle to make sure he was dead
because they didn't want to waste the bullets on someone that was already
dead. Yep. And as it approached him, he pulled
out a gun and shot the pilot. No!
He didn't! So, the
own, this has never been backed up.
Is that legit?
So when he landed, when he parachuted and landed, he got caught and was a prisoner of
war for like three years or some long amount of time.
Yeah.
And then when he came out, he told all the stories about being a prisoner of war and
that was the story that got led into it.
But he could never back it up.
There was no Japanese records of a plane that went down.
So it was just his word.
Okay.
As I'm sure many world were,
like lots of war stories would be.
Yeah.
Only your word.
So I couldn't find any
like definitive proof
that that ever happened.
So I started Googling
like other people's crazy stories
about taking down a plane
and this one was actually proven.
So you looked on Snopes
and there was nothing on Snopes?
It wasn't mentioned. It's a great story
though. I really want that to be true. Yeah, I know. Great story.
It's the only time that one man
with one bullet's ever taken down a plane.
As far as they know. Seems like a
real Indiana Jones thing to do.
So this is the story about a man who took
down a plane with a lasso.
He lived in
South Brazil. He lived in a cattle ranch
and he was a little bit of a local Casanova.
Oh, okay.
Euclides, E-U-C-L-I-D-E-S, Euclides.
Sure.
Guetes.
Because Guetes is easy because I've seen Guertes lots.
Yeah, I feel like you're really massacring the Portuguese language there.
The beautiful language.
Should I?
Oh, yeah, you could do the Google thing.
Do a quick pronunciation.
Look at those pronunciations.
I'll put up your how to pronounce a Brazilian Portuguese name.
Okay, here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Is this an ad? No. I got here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Is this an ad?
No.
I got a creme brulee latte.
What do they?
Wouldn't be for me.
No, no.
Okay.
Pronouncenames.com.
Okay.
Let me put it in.
Yeah, it's...
Euclidges.
Euclidges.
Euclidges.
Euclidges.
Okay. It's almost like ages off. No, you're pretty close. Euclidges. Euclidges. Euclidges. Euclidges. Okay.
So it wasn't like ages off.
No, you were pretty close.
Euclidges.
Euclidges.
Euclidges.
Okay.
He was a South Brazilian cattle rancher.
Okay.
And he was...
The ladies loved him because he was a cowboy.
Like he rode a horse.
Oh, yeah.
He had a hat.
Always had a lasso.
And was he a good looking Brazilian?
Obviously, maybe.
I've never seen an ugly one.
Fair call.
Yeah, sure.
So he has this ranch and the ladies love him.
They're like, oh, you're a cledis.
And he's like, si, senorita.
I'm like, oh, you're a cledis.
So he's the man about town because he's a cowboy.
And then next door's ranch put in an airstrip,
and this was a time where rich playboys could afford aircraft.
So they were learning to fly little planes.
And he was no longer the talk of the town.
Oh, because he didn't have a plane.
Because he didn't have a plane.
He was old school.
Jealous of the rich playboys.
They mewmed over his paddocks.
They scared his cattle.
No one is flying.
Diving.
They scared his pony once when he was on his horse.
One flew over and the horse freaked out.
It's like, what is that?
And it flicked him off.
And the girls that usually flopped to Euclides,
they went to these rich playboys.
These rich, air rich playboys. These rich,
airbound playboys.
Would you rather
hook up with a cowboy
or a pilot?
Or a rich,
young playboy.
What do you think?
So,
Euclides,
one night,
a plane was flying,
multiple planes were flying
low over the house
and he went outside
and,
rumour has it,
he found a note
on the ground drop
from one of these planes.
Really?
Okay, wow.
Jockeys.
And it was a note to say meet him at this local thing.
It was to the lady of the house.
Well, Euclides was furious.
Furious.
So he next time went out and he was on his horse
and this same plane
that he identified
that flew over
that tried to
make a move on his lady,
he stood on his horse.
This is a yarn.
This is an absolute yarn.
Absolute yarn.
I know that cowboys
can stand on their horses,
but...
Tell me the name
in the magazine
that this appeared in.
Time.
Time magazine.
Okay.
It was 1952.
Okay. This is from Time magazine. Carry on. Time magazine. Okay. It was 1952. Okay.
This is from Time magazine.
Carry on.
Monday the 11th of February 1952.
Oh yeah,
but they were telling
Yarnsberg.
He stood on the back
of his horse
and he waved his
lasso.
Lasso.
I speak Portuguese.
Some Portuguese.
And as it flew over,
he just threw the lasso
straight up into the air
with very little regard to the life of the boy who drove in this plane.
Yeah.
Because the lasso got wound into the propeller.
Yeah.
Snapped the wooden propeller shaft and caused the plane to crash land
back at the airstrip.
Did the rich young playboy survive?
He survived, Megan, but his ego bruised.
Did he leave the area?
Well, I don't know.
He might have got a new plane.
Oh, right.
Because he was in pretty bad nick.
So then Euclides became the legend again.
And thus, so far through time, the only cowboy to ever lasso a plane. See I
thought technically that's not lassoing
a plane, that's chucking a rope up and getting
it caught in the propeller. I thought you'd
actually roped it around the nozzle bit of
the plane and tied it around that
thing at the front of the saddle and be like
that's lassoing
and then the plane flies around and around and then it's like
nope, crash
How low were these Brazilian playboys flying that you could lasso a rope up into the propeller?
Anyway, I brought it down and here it was once again.
This is the words here.
The only cowboy to ever lasso a plane.
And once again, the lion of the dark-eyed ladies of Rio Grande Sol.
Oh, Euclides.
Euclides.
Ladies, it is a Euclidus. Euclidus. Ladies, it is a Euclidus.
You may have heard a lasso to play.
No, you just threw a rope under the propeller.
When you told this story, I thought you were going to.
Megan, please, shut your face.
You're ruining the rumour of Euclides.
The honour cowboy to have a lasso plane.
He just threw a rope into a bravura.
He did.
Shut your face.
Euclides.
Euclides.
So today's fact of the day is there has only been one man to have a lasso plane.
And his name is Euclides Cortes.
Fact of the day day

ZM's
Fletch, Vaughan
and Megan
the podcast
Brooklyn Beckham
has a new girlfriend
which is
it's nice because his last one I, was a bit of a toxic relationship.
They both weren't very good for each other.
Who dat?
His last model girlfriend.
I actually can't remember her name.
Which one?
I just remember they always used to.
Probably Grace Moritz.
No, no, no.
After her.
You know I love Chloe.
How many has he had?
One day maybe they'll get back together.
Right.
Okay.
But Brooklyn.
Obviously the son of David and Victoria Beckham. Right. Brooklyn. Obviously the son of David and Victoria
Beckham. Yes.
He's 20. Is he 20
now? She's 45.
I think. He's the oldest kid anyway.
So he was single
momentarily and now he's got a new
girlfriend. She's a model
and she's a babe. Is this Phoebe Torrance?
Yes. Okay because I've just googled.
I was literally about to send you her Instagram on chat.
I had it all ready to go, but you are too fast for me.
Well, no, I just Googled his list of girlfriends,
but this is the one that came up.
Yeah.
Right.
So Phoebe Torrance is her name, and she's hot.
She's a model and stuff,
but it's more the fact that she looks a lot like his mum.
She's wearing a DeWalt jacket.
Ironically, though, not because she likes-
As like power tools.
Yeah, because you've got DeWalt power tools, don't you?
Do you want one?
The jacket.
Oh, no, this is a racing team jacket.
Their major sponsor is DeWalt.
Oh, right, okay.
I can see a side now.
She's got all the shopping-
Is that what they call it?
A shopping list of sponsors?
Yeah.
All the sponsors on your jacket? I just thought she just rocked up to like Mitre 10 now she's got all the shopping list. Is that what they call it? A shopping list of sponsors? Yeah.
I just thought she just rocked up to like Mitre 10 and been like,
shit yeah, I'll have one of those things.
I'll have a jacket.
And a bloody 5418 Flexivolt battery.
But are you looking at a picture of Phoebe?
I am now.
Can you see Victoria Beckham in her?
Same nose.
Yeah.
Nah, not enough.
Because I know everyone is losing their mind about it
In that one
She does look like her
This nose
I think
Had she got rid of her fringe
Because she's got long brown hair
But had she got rid of her fringe
I reckon she would look
Like her little sister
Exactly the same nose
I mean similar features
Not enough to be freaking out
You guys were all freaking out about it
But it's close enough That everyone would be like Dude Like come on nose. I mean, similar features. Oh, not enough to be freaking out. You guys were all freaking out about it.
But it's close enough that everyone would be like,
dude, like, come on, that looks like your mum.
Does that happen a lot?
Do people date? Because people say people date their dad, although that's not the case in mine.
What's that? It was Freud, wasn't it?
Yeah, right. Freud said you look for,
males look for in their partners. And you are
just like your wife's dad, aren't you?
No, I don't know if it works that way.
Oh, doesn't it?
I stand beside the five foot five Chinese man.
People are always like, are you two twins?
That's what they always say.
They always say that.
And Sade, of course, she's the spitting image of my mother.
You couldn't be any different.
No, not at all.
I was just waiting to see if you had any more comparisons
other than blonde.
You're going to get yourself in wild trouble.
Well, who worth?
My mum.
I don't know.
I don't think my mum's looking in the mirror being like,
God, I look like Vaughn's wife.
I don't think she's under any misguided illusion.
But there must be, like, because people have said it before that
you look for either
you date your dad or you date your mum.
I don't know if it's
looks-wise or personality-wise.
Do you date your dad or do you date your mum?
Sometimes you see couples and you're like,
I think brother and sister.
Because they look like they
could be. You see it all the time.
Yeah. I always just, if I was blonde, I probably You see it all the time. Yeah.
I always just, if I was blonde,
I probably wouldn't date other blonde people.
Right.
Why?
Oh, brother and sister. Always assume they're siblings.
Yeah.
Or members of the Hitler Youth.
You're going to rule out a whole, like, hair colour
just so they don't look like your sister.
Yeah, but make it, I'm not blonde,
so I can say these sorts of things without ever having to back it up.
I can make wild claims about hair colour.
Just like you'd never date another man
with a bald head and a big beard.
I wouldn't say that.
I wouldn't go that far.
You don't want to be confused as bearded brothers.
Yeah, people think you're brothers
and then you kiss.
They'll be like,
Close family.
Some families do that.
They kiss on the mouth.
It's weird.
It's weird.
But they do it. No, it's not weird.
You're weird.
I don't think it looks enough like Brooklyn Beckham's mum
to be freaking out about him dating someone that looks like his mum.
Well, can we take some calls on,
have you ever dated someone who looks like a family member?
Yeah, because maybe you've been in that situation
where someone's confused you for brother and sister.
And maybe when you're out in public, you do have to explain that.
Or even...
Well, maybe it wasn't until later on that one of your mates was like,
you know your partner looks like your dad?
Or, you know that girl, she looks like your mum.
Yeah.
Well, maybe it is until you're further into the relationship
and they start looking older that they look like your dad
and you're like, uh-oh, I have dated my dad.
I don't know.
I don't know if anybody's
going to admit to that,
are they?
Well,
maybe they haven't seen it
until just this moment.
And they're just like,
oh my God,
I'm dating someone
that looks like my dad.
Really?
I don't know.
We want to know
if you're dating someone
that looks like
a member of your family
or maybe you didn't even notice
until somebody else
pointed it out.
Somebody said
you should google
what Billy Eilish's
brother Phineas
what his girlfriend
looks like
yep
she looks exactly
like Billy Eilish
are you kidding me
no I'm not kidding
he's dating someone
that looks like Billy Eilish
yeah
like
same face
oh yeah wow
all she needs to do
is the rolly eye thing
eyebrows
maybe that's why
Billy Eilish
dyed her hair like green
and always wears like
massive Gucci trackies and stuff.
Maybe, yeah, maybe.
She was like,
I can't look too much like her.
Josie, you dating someone
that looks like a family member?
So I'm seeing this guy
and he's got brown hair,
I've got red hair
and then I went round
to his house for the first time
and his whole family's got red hair.
So he's dating,
it looks like he's dating a family member.
Yes, and his brother when he first
saw me said that I looked like his mum when
she was younger.
Oh yeah. Wow.
At least she said when you were younger, not like
look at you. Yeah, not now.
So did that kind of put
you off or you're still there, still hanging in there?
I'm still there. Okay, good.
But it's just a bit weird.
Yeah, okay.
Yes, very weird.
Josie, thanks for your call.
Emma, are you dating someone that looks like a family member?
I'm the one that looks like a family member.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
I get mistaken for my partner's sister's twin.
So everyone thinks that my sister-in-law and I are twin sisters.
You look identical to a sister.
So have you brought this up with him?
What are his thoughts on this?
Oh, we just sit around all the time.
Okay.
He doesn't really see it, so he doesn't really care.
But everyone thinks we're sisters or twins,
but it's the other way around.
All right.
Thanks, you call Emma.
Some text messages.
A friend is married to someone who looks exactly the same as her brother.
It's a running joke, but also people confuse her husband for her brother at social events all the time.
She started to embrace it.
Somebody said, I didn't think I looked anything like my girlfriend until Game of Thrones started and everyone started calling us the Lannisters.
Oh, that's a harsh way to find out.
And then we were like, what?
And they're like, because you guys look like siblings.
And they were like, what?
They're not together anymore.
I don't know if that was the reasoning.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
I hope not.
Yeah.
It's certainly taken into account when you're weighing up all the evidence.
Yeah.
As a member of the jury.
You certainly would.
My mother is, in her own words, a butch lesbian.
Okay.
Her words, not ours.
Her words, her mother's words.
I certainly don't want to be offending the lesbian community.
And would often wear the same clothes as my ex-boyfriend
and say things like, those are cool, where'd you get them?
And then one time they turned up and they were wearing the same clothes
and they did actually look quite a bit alike.
Brilliant.
They're not together anymore.
Okay.
But mum's still around.
Yep.
