ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletch Warner Megan. The podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Warner Megan. Man, you went against adversity this morning. Man, of course. There was a lot going on while she was reading that news. Oh, it's hot in here, eh? It is hot in here, isn't it? Yeah.

Got dry eyes. No, I'm falling a bit. I think I'm a little bit hot because I walked to work this morning. So, you know, normally I lie, but I'm an adult man without data on his phone plan. Oh, mate, I blew out the company gigabyte phone plan last week. I've been rolling tomorrow when we get new data. Yep. It's been eight days since I had mobile data.

I've got data up the wazoo. Yeah. Don't put your data in your wazoo. You'll get an infection. Or at least watch the data when you take it back out of your wazoo. But then, yeah, it's been there's been an element of

freedom to it. Yeah, right. No, but then I don't like it because you're out and you're just like, I'll Google this or I'll Maps this. Oh, none of that. You've got to have a bit of a pre-plan. But then it's weird getting back into your Wi-Fi and it's just like... You're like, oh, none of this was important. Yeah, true.

It's good. It's eye-opening, don't you think? Bit of freedom. You're off the leash, baby. Run free. You're like a Kaimanawha horse now. Not really. It's just weird.

It's me every day when I ignore the group chat. How do you do it? You're a horrible person. I guess that's basically what we take. And then I go back and read it and I realise, no, I didn't miss anything. Yeah. All right. Coming up on the show, the top six.

Vaughan, sea levels. Sea levels. They're a-risin arising and many New Zealanders are going to be affected by this yeah by 2100 yeah so 61 years away

is that right mmm no I could be alive 80 oh is it 80 years away yeah probably not eh

I'm going to be alive no definitely not it's 81 81 what's about 80 80 years Jesus no I don't want to be alive

not in 80 years I'll be a mess I don't want to be alive. Not in 80 years. I'll be a mess. I might be. I'd be like 110. I reckon my knees will be absolutely... You'll be under your third seat. No, but we can't give you another one. I'll be like, give me a hover body then.

A hover body. Imagine. Yeah. But apparently by 2100, 240,000 Kiwis are going to be living underwater. Which worked fine for SpongeBob SquarePants. I don't know what everybody's whinging about. He had quite the life down there. He did, didn't he?

Yeah, but the top six, it's not so bad. Things about a rising sea level. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines that I've found online, these stories. Interesting, odd, quirky news stories. And, Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one of the following three headlines.

Headline one, Lego bar. Headline two, secret herbs and bullets. And headline three, internet troll gets taste of his own medicine. What was it? Lego bar. Mm. Lego bar. No, B-A-R.

Oh, Lego bar. Oh, you go to a bar and you play with Lego. Vaughn's picked it. That would be cool. It's Vaughn's kind of place. That would be my sort of bar. As long as the music wasn't too loud. Well, it's a bar, so there will be music. I'm as the music wasn't too loud. Well, it's a bar, so there will be music.

I know, I'm okay with music, but just at a level where I can still talk to my friends about the Lego we're doing. This is actually you written all over it,

isn't it? Yeah, yeah, that sounds great. What's story three? Arum. Internet troll gets a taste of his own medicine. Oh, I kind of like that.

Yeah. Always down for a... Because secret herbs and bullets, is that like a KFC drive-by? Uh, it's... Well, it does involve

a KFC and, um, bullets. Bullets in the food. No. Bullet in the chicken. Like a shotgun pellet. There was a gun that went off

at a KFC overseas. Tell us more. Well, no, you've got that. You've pretty much picked that went off at a KFC overseas. Tell us more. Well, no, you've got that. You've pretty much picked that story. Okay, story three. If you want to delve into story three, the internet troll gets a taste of his own medicine. Yeah.

Well, an online troll a man took to Facebook. I'm going to read you his Facebook post. Okay. To set up the story. Oh, please do. He posted, 99% of women are too weak and lack the reflexes to do enough

damage to stop 99% of men. He goes on, even if they knew Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they just don't have the size or strength to use the holds. It's dangerous to teach any woman to try and strike or fight a man. I'm not hitting a woman with a

closed fist unless she is attacking me. If you want to set up an MMA fight between me and a girl with signed contracts, sure, I'm down. I want money when I win, though, and you must apologise. He's had his arse kicked by a woman, hasn't he? Well, that's when the good people at MMA Facebook page McDojo Life were more than happy to find this man an opponent, writing, we're willing to pay you $1,000 to any,

we're willing to pay $1,000 to any pro female, 160 pound fighter willing to come and spar with this man. We'll also provide the plane ticket and the hotel. And. There's been a lovely video made of the journey and the fight. There was a fight. There was actually a fight? It actually happened.

There were plenty of offers. A fight was set up with Tara La Rosa, an MMA fighter and a grappler. Predictably, he got his ass handed to him, being no match for the female MMA fighter. So there's a video of the fight. Yeah, there is. If you search Tara Laossa versus Chris Zielinski,

internet troll in brackets. Tara LaRossa versus Chris. I can't believe he went through with that. He actually. Like being called out and having it set up. Wouldn't you be like, oh no. Yeah. It stinks to me like a bit of a marketing ploy,

but I can't see any. Right. Unless it's a marketing ploy, but I can't see any. Right. Unless it's a marketing ploy for the actual MMA place. I don't know. But I'm too cynical of the internet in 2019. I'm like, wait, this has got to be for something. Right. Okay, there's a 28-minute video or there's a one-minute video.

I only need a one-minute video to see. Yeah, to see him just get his ass absolutely handed to him. But I think good that he fronted up because most internet trolls would hide. They wouldn't. They'd hide. Totally. Oh, she's rocking him straight into an armbar. He's in so much trouble.

He knows he's in trouble too. His little man bun. Yeah. His stupid little moustache. You don't need to pick holes in us. Is this Vaughan? MMA commentator. Oh, stupid little moustache. Yeah, she's got him.

If I was an MMA commentator, I'd just be like, ow, oh my God, ow, oh, oh, oh, nah, oh, there's a bit of blood now. I think we should stop this. Stop it, stop it. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Okay, there's an item, and this happens every now and then, we hear about it, that goes crazy at Kmart.

This is... Is it the vacuum cleaner? No, but I went there... It's better than a Dyson? I went there recently and there was like a big stand of these vacuum cleaners. I was like, is that the one? Is that the one that everyone was going on about?

Yeah, I can't remember. I was keen to try. Yeah one? Is that the one that everyone was going on about? Yeah, I can't remember. I was keen to try. Yeah, there was a mum, because it was a mum's group, and they were like, this vacuum cleaner's better than the Dyson. Nah, I always just want those Kmart mum groups. There's a Kmart worker or a Kmart marketing person amongst. Like an undercover. Yeah, and they're like, hey, Karen, what do you think about this vacuum?

I love it. And then it starts like that, Karen, what do you think about this vacuum? I love it. And then it starts like that and then everyone groundswell and then it's just like crazy. Mind belief. Well, how are we going to flush out these Kmart undercover operatives? We go undercover. Right, okay. We go undercover undercover.

Right. I call it double duvang. Well, there's a new item. I don't know if you're going to argue with this one. And it's just in time for Christmas. On Christmas Day, imagine having a chocolate fountain. Oh, my God. Oh, my.

There's certain things you don't need in your house. And a chocolate fountain is one of them. When you think about a chocolate fountain, you think that's an expensive item. $25. Oh, yeah. Okay. Is it a mini one? How big?

How long is this going to last? It's three tiers, but I don't have anything to compare it to. It's probably the size of a magic bullet. A magic bullet. 24 centimetres high,

14 centimetres long, and 14 centimetres wide. So nearly as tall as a 30 centimetre ruler. Tiny. Tiny, tiny. Tiny, tiny. But good enough. But probably small enough that you could get your mouth over the top of the fountain. And definitely put your tongue under there.

Oh, my God. You could drink the chocolate straight from the... Because every time I've seen a chocolate fountain, it's been at a buffet. Somewhere you're not allowed to put your tongue in. No. That stops you, though. You're always putting your tongue where it should be. But you go to your, you get the, go to Kmart and get this in your own home,

you can put your tongue under the chocolate fountain with no repercussions. Here's why it's a bad idea. Well, I mean, there's repercussions and when you turn up to work again. It's going to be a nightmare to clean. It's going to be one of those clean. It's going to be one of those things. What?

No, it won't. Don't be silly. Hot rinse, hot. No. You just unclog that top bit and put it in the sink. It'll be a bloody nightmare to clean.

Like a blender or a... It won't be as bad as a juicer. Oh, no. That's the worst. That's why everybody buys a juicer and they're like,

I'm done with juicing. Cleaning is a nightmare. Oh, awful. Awful. No, this would be great. A done with juicing. Cleaning is an idea. Oh, awful. Awful. No, this would be great. Horrible clean. Okay, I just googled Pinterest. Other uses for chocolate fountains. Hot plate, can you put juice in it?

Yes, so there are lots of pictures of nacho cheese fountains, but you know America, have you ever had like runny cheese in America? Yeah. They put it on nachos and everything and it's almost not cheese. It's not cheese as we know it. And it's really orange.

So that looks like the kind of cheeses they're using. Because the chocolate has to be either a special like chocolate or you have to add oil to it for a fountain so that it runs. To make it runny. Yeah. Are the people using a maple syrup fountain for like pancakes. For like a breakfast.

For bougie. Pancakes, yeah. How many bloody pancakes do you have planning on having? You could have those bacon pancake strips and dip it in your maple syrup fountain. Here's, okay, what about for the maple syrup? Because, you know, getting your whole plate under there would be a bit of a nightmare. Yeah. Grab a shiwi.

Remember a shiwi? Oh, my God. Those things that women put pee standing up and stick the ad under and use it as a directional maple syrup. Or you could just tip it out of the bottle. What? That sounds way too easy. No, if it's in the fountain, you've already got it in the fountain. So BuzzFeed did five incredible foods to turn into a fountain.

Chocolate fountain hacks. Cream cheese frosting fountain. What? So like icing, basically icing instead of chocolate. It's like a runny. Yeah. You could have carrot cake bites. Nutella.

A Nutella fountain. What? What? But you would have to, again, you'd have to melt that down and add oil to it. Add oil to make it runny. Maple syrup is another one that they mention in this. And ketchup. So you could have a party with savouries and have a ketchup fountain running.

Wouldn't it be hot or you could run that cold? I don't know. I suppose ketchup runs. It doesn't need to be melted like cheese and chocolate. And again, nacho cheese. Those are their five hacks for a fountain. God, now I want a $25 Kmart fountain. Yum.

They know how to get us, don't they? They do. Trigger us. You go and get one. You live your life. You live your best life. No, because it'll be like that. It's a nightmare to clean.

It'll be like that pie maker that I got that I've used four times. Yeah, I think you need one, Fletch, because you've been entertaining a lot recently. Well, you've been making cookie bowls. Oh, they were an absolute disaster. And ice cream. I don't need any more of this. I'm already near the type 2 diabetes line. Who are you sweetening up?

Myself. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Kia ora, good morning. 240,000 New Zealanders will have their homes affected by rising sea levels by the year 2100. That's when we move in with Vaughan, who lives in the inland bit of the uppity bit of the country. Inland uppity bit.

The mountains. The mountains. He's a man that lives in a cave. Welcome to my cave. There's rules to the cave. Have you actually looked how many metres above sea level your place is? No. You should actually do that. How do I do that?

I don't know, actually. Oh, you go to a topographical map. Oh, yeah. You probably would, yeah. What happens if you have, like, a bunker? Yep. And then, like, Oh, you've got to have a seal on your hatch. And you can just never come out? Because how do you open the... You'd be stuck. You'd be stuck. Unless you've got to have a seal on your hatch. And you can just never come out. Because how do you open the...

You'd be stuck. You'd be stuck. Unless you've got like a lock system. So you'd go in and it'd be full of water and then someone would magically pump the water out and then you could go further. That would be great. A lot of work.

Yeah. A lot of work. Topographic map of Auckland. I mean, I could probably do this in my own time, but... It feels like we're here now. You're here now. Well, I mean, we just want to know that your place, when the zombie rising flood water apocalypse happens...

Zombie flood zombies. ...that we've got a safe place to go, Megan. Because I'll be screwed. I live on an island. You're going to be the first to go. Like, as it is now with the king tide, you're sometimes iffy getting to work. Yeah.

It's got, like, the lines, but I can't see. Oh my God. You follow the line and then eventually there's some numbers. No, I can't see any numbers. And it gives you the height. No, I'm not seeing any numbers. You carry on with the top six. Okay.

Just got to go back and find it now. Okay. So the rising sea level, it's going up by 2100. And what were you saying? Neil deGrasse Tyson said that if all the polar caps melt, the water would go up to the Statue of Liberty's elbow. Yeah. So if you've ever been to New York and seen the Statue of Liberty's elbow,

that's quite high. And that's all around the world. So you think of all the deserts and stuff that are only just above sea level. I think my apartment could become a beachfront apartment. It could become an aquarium. The top six things about rising sea levels that don't seem too bad. Number six, my ski chalet is now beachfront. But no longer a ski chalet and crazy over in-sea lighted.

Yeah, because it's at the beach now. but no longer a ski chalet and crazy over in-sea lighted. Yeah. Because, yeah, it's at the beach now. But it's one of those A-frame houses that keeps the snow off the roof. In National Park. I know a coney, yeah. Yeah, no coney. Yeah. Do you actually have a ski chalet you haven't been telling us about?

Yes. Do you know about this? No. Just a little weekend retreat. You wish. Take a little weekend retreat. You wish. Take a helicopter down. You wish. Yeah, right.

I do wish. Number five on the list of the top six things about rising sea levels that don't seem too bad. You can take boats to work now. And there's no roads for boats. And no roads equal no rules. Arr, pirates. I'm pretty sure there are nautical rules, Vaughn. Not in this new wild world we rules. Arr, pirates. I'm pretty sure

there are nautical rules, Vaughn. Not in this new wild world we live in. Okay, great. Where everybody's got a boat and the streets are water. Love a boat. I just couldn't

park it anywhere. Or you just get a friend who's got a boat. This is true. I wouldn't want a boat. I've said it before. I had too much pain in the arse.

Oh, boats are awesome. And then if you've got the boat, everyone's like, we should take your boat out. And that means you'd have to like... God, you hate people, eh? I just... Admin. Yeah.

Yeah, right. And then you're stuck on the boat having to talk to them. Oh. Boats are small. It's much smaller than houses. Yeah. Generally. Generally.

Number four on the list of the top six things about rising sea levels that don't seem so bad. I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of having dry feet. So no more pesky dry feet. Just wet all the time. Brilliant. Wet feet. Wet socks. Great.

Constant wet socks. Oh, yeah. Dry feet. See you later. Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six things about rising sea levels that don't seem too bad. I'll be dead. That's a bonus

for everybody because I'll be dead, but also my grandchildren will have never known a world with buildings above water. No, they won't know any better. We'll all be dead. Number two on the list, even if you're born today, it's 80 years away, you're We'll all be dead. Number two on the list, even if you're born today, it's 80 years away. Yeah.

You're probably going to be dead. This is very negative. We were all born to die. I don't want to put a damper on it. Pun intended. Pun intended. Number two on the list of the top six things about rising sea levels that don't seem so bad. Much less effort

to get an Instagram pic on an inflatable swan in the water because it's everywhere. Yeah. Do it in your lounge. Yeah. Then you don't even have to leave home. Yeah.

Hot dogs or what's the other one? Are you talking about inflatables? No. The pizza slice? You know when you pretend your legs are hot dogs? Hot dogs are legs. Hot dogs are legs. Sausages are legs. Mine just look like hairy hot dogs. Hot dogs are legs. Hot dogs are legs. Sausages are legs.

Mine just look like hairy hot dogs. Hot dogs that's fallen on the floor and had a roll. Yeah. And number one on the list of... Back on the barbie, mate. You can still eat it. On the top six, things about rising sea levels that don't seem so bad. Dolphin friends on your lawn.

Oh, that's cool. They're like, quick, kids, quick, come look. There's a wild dolphin on your lawn. Oh, that's cool. They're like, quick, kids, quick, come look. There's a wild dolphin on the lawn. Hello, friends. And that's when you realise it's a shark, not a dolphin. Uh-oh. Because you only identify it by its fin. That is today's top six.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Great news if you're a narcissist today. And I had to check what narcissist actually was. Someone who is grandiose. And then I had to check what grandiose was. So there's been a lot of learning. Also, I had to go to pronunciation.com and like check how to say grandiose. So I've learnt that too.

So it's someone who lives in a fantasy world. Someone in need of constant praise and admiration. A sense of entitlement, exploits others without guilt or shame, pretty into themselves. Yeah. But great news for those people because it could lead to mental toughness

and a horrible but happier life. So narcissists are happier? Just because they're in their own world. In their own world, right, yeah. They are less stressed and not as vulnerable to mental illness. Oh. Because they just believe their own hype, I guess.

And narcissists, like all the psycho killers and stuff, the serial killers, is that what a narcissist? I looked that up, but it says malignant narcissist, so like real, real bad narcissist. Right, okay, so you can be a narcissist but not a serial killer. Yeah. Great news. Just like a little Slytherin narcissist. You know just a

light narcissist. Okay so Slytherins you're saying are more likely to be. More likely to be narcissists. And happy. Yeah. Okay. In their own evil deeds. That's Fletch and I. Not all Slytherins are bad. No I'm good. I'd be down for a Harry I. Not all Slytherins are bad. No, I'm good. I'd be down for a Harry Potter story

where the Slytherins were like the good guys. Because there's good parts to being Slytherin. Good, thank you. Because we had Harry Potter, that was a Gryffindor hero. The one at the moment, he's a Hufflepuffer. We're a great house, there's no doubt about that. I don't even know what, I've seen one Harry Potter

movie and I don't know what you're talking about. Ravenclaw. That could do with a sort of a Harry Potter universe hero tale as well. Ravenclaw's the dud, right? They just don't do anything. No, they just don't. Yeah, they don't feature highly in the Harry Potter story.

Which one are you? Hufflepuff. Oh, okay. Right. Do you know he goes on about it all the time? But is he actually a Hufflepuff? Yeah, okay, right. Do you know he goes on about it all the time? But is he actually a Hufflepuff? Yeah, you did the sorting. I've done the sorting hat like three or four times and every time it's the Slytherin. I can't get away from it. I'm going back in again.

I'm going to like change it up a little bit. I'm going to be a Gryffindor. Nah. Slytherin through and through. Yeah. Fletch is Dobby the House Elf. Oh, Dobby. I don't even know what.

No one gives him a sock. We're laughing at him and he doesn't know why. Guys, we've only seen one Harry Potter movie. Master, give Dobby a sock. Dobby is free. You even look like him. Out. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. A man had his foot nibbled off by a shark yesterday in Australia. It wasn't nibbled. It was gulped. I was trying to make it a little bit cuter so people weren't angry at sharks. Yeah, it was taken clean off, wasn't it? But this happened in the Whiet Sundays.

And apparently his life was only saved by two Swedish nurses who made a makeshift tourniquet. It sounds like the start of an adult movie. Yeah. Or grim start. It wouldn't be very sexy with a bloody stump involved. Grim start. What are you watching?

What have you gone through the company data plan? Watching your weird... He went from grim to sexy so far. Your weird amputee action sex stuff. Hey, don't kink shame him. Oh no, I'm not kink shame him. I'm just saying that... I'm not into shark attack victims.

It's okay. We're not here to shame you for what you're into. I'm not into shark attack victim porn. Just leave me alone. It's okay, mate. Yeah. So this guy was snorkeling in the Whitsundays when a shark just bit his foot off

and got another guy's leg. God, that just terrifies me, eh? Everything's trying to kill you. Do you remember that time we saw that tiny little shark in Fiji? God, I've never swam so fast in my life. Oh, that tiny little reef shark. But it was through the water. But aren't they well fed?

And the glass on the snorkel mask. Yeah. It looks so big. But Vaughn was stealing bread and food from the buffet to feed all the fish. But it was also bringing the sharks. A Treasure Island classic. Yeah, but you've got to make sure you feed the sharks so that they don't want to. So they don't feed on you. No, these ones, they were tiny.

You'd be able to punch those ones. I nibbled on the toe. Yeah, I totally punched. That's what they say. You punch them in the face or the nose. Give them a little tap and. No, these ones would have. They were tiny. You'd be able to punch those ones. They nibbled on the toe. I totally punched. That's what they say. You punch them in the face or the nose. Give them a little tap and be like, no, not today. So Mags and Ratto, those are the two lads without feet now. Well, one of them's got no foot and one of them had his right calf really badly lacerated.

Right. Apparently the latest in like a string of shark attacks and people, fishermen who fish around there, have said they're absolutely not surprised because there's shark diving operations and they frenzy them up. Oh, they get them hooked. They get them hooked. Yeah, hooked on the good stuff.

And then this was interesting is the fishermen are like, oh, it's no surprise to us. We're overfishing so they're hungry. That too, yeah. But also, we're teasing them with humans in a cage. Yeah. Like, hey, look, imagine if someone's teasing you with a chocolate bar in a cage, and then you see one in the wild.

And you're so frenzied for it. And they've got burley and stuff, so they're like, yum, that's what they taste like. And then they get a bite of a foot and they're like, yuck, absolutely not. No. Would you rather a shark took off one of your foots? Feet. Or a hand? Feet. One of your foot. One foot or one hand? Foot. Left hand? You do, because I can, like, you've got

what's the word? Like, you've got lots of fingers that do lots of stuff on your hand. Dexterity. Yeah. It's very important for your hands. Whereas your foot could just be a bit of wood. Yeah. Like a bit of 4B2.

It's not like I'm running marathons anytime soon. Like it could be just a farmer's mannequin. I don't know. I think they do a bit better than a farmer's mannequin. There's someone stealing something from the lingerie department. And they run over there and they're like, soar, soar, soar, soar, soar, take the foot.

I mean, I know there's a lot more to it, but the foot doesn't need to be super as dexterous as the hands. Well, take note if you're holidaying in Australia anytime soon because sharks are hungry. Yeah. Coming up on the show. We need to talk about Miley and Liam's relationship. Miley, I mean, Liam actually is making a massive power play. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the show. We need to talk about Miley and Liam's relationship. Miley, I mean Liam actually, is making a massive power play.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So Miley and Liam have broken up and there's been a lot of power plays by Miley. So Miley and Cody Simpson, for a bit of background, have moved in together. That's after like, they've been friends for years, haven't they? Yeah, but they've been in a relationship. Keep in mind Liam and, I mean, not judging, whatever, but Liam and Miley broke up in August, or we knew they separated in August.

Yep. And then Miley was with Caitlin, and then she's with Cody. And that's been what, two weeks? That she's been with Cody. Yeah, or a month now. Yeah. If that.

And he's moved into her LA home. Right. Now, you remember when Liam and Miley were together, they had a mansion that was burned down in the wildfires. He put up the devastating picture and just had love in the ashes. Yeah. So Liam has decided to rebuild his LA home, which is just down the road from where Miley lives.

Like, I say just down the road, but they're neighbours. Yeah, if you look at the aerial photo, there's nothing in between, apart from a bit of land. You just know how these LA mansions, these big mansions have heaps of land. Because they're in Malibu, right? So right by the beach. Yeah.

Because he loves his surfing. Oh my God, and Cody Simpson loves surfing too. Imagine if they run into each other on the beach. You stole my wave, bro. You stole my girlfriend, bro. My wife, bro. So his property is metres away from her property. So did she always have that house next door?

Well, he hasn't been living in that place. And I don't know when she got this place, but she's been living there. Right. So she's kind of had dibs on that area, you'd say. But he had his place first, didn't he? That burnt down. Well, yeah. Or did he own both of them and they just split it up in the...

He owned that place that burnt down. Okay. I don't know. So he's like, screw you. He's like, I'm not leaving. I'm rebuilding and my house is probably going to be bigger and better than yours. Yeah. Wow.

And literally they drive out of the driveway. They could drive past each other. Would you want that? No. Oh, do you just move away? Wouldn't you find a place down the road at least? Yeah. Not next door to your ex of like 10 years.

If he loves the area and like, it's not that, it won't be the same house that he shared with her because he's rebuilding it into something new. Yeah, true. So that's different. And what if you had trouble remembering like numbers and you'd have to change your postcode?

So there's that. Just that alone. I'm just going to move next door because you know, when you're writing down your address, it's hard to remember the postcode at the end. And then like Miley's out and about a lot. Like how often would she be home home?

And same with him, shooting movies all the time all over the world. It's probably just going to be Cody Simpson. I know where I'd be taking my dog for its daily poo. Right to the fence. Just over. When they go to the fence line, there'd just be a pile of dog poo. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Massive power play from him, though. What about, have you ever pulled a post-relationship power play? Now, when you say power play, this is really rubbing it in your ex's face, isn't it? Oh, yeah, it's power play. Yeah. Okay. Have I done that yeah, it's power play. Yeah. Okay. Have I done that? But it could be anything.

I mean, not everybody's got enough money kicking around to do a real estate power play. Yeah. I'll go buy the house next door. What? Plus, that would be weird. But I'm talking after the relationship, you knew something about them that you used to your advantage. Oh, okay. Maybe you anonymously

tipped off a law enforcement. Oh. Is that a power play or is that just... Yeah, that's a power play. Absolute power play. Or maybe you finally did something that they had wanted you to do throughout your relationship. Or something they'd always wanted to do. Yes.

Yeah, like a place they'd wanted to go. Yes. And then you did it first. A place they'd wanted to go. Yeah. And you took somebody else. Ooh. Power play. That's a power play. Yeah.

Boom, bitch. That's how she finishes the text. Thermal-backed curtains.

That is good. No, because you've got to understand. You've got to understand the psyche of a person that wants thermal-backed curtains. Yeah. And then they get on them and you're like, ah, we don't need them. We don't need them. We don't need them. They're like, well, they're expensive.

We don't need them. The house is okay. We don't need them. We don't need them. And then they break up. She comes back. The first thing she sees, the thermal-backed curtains. Shit, that's good.

Oh, shit, that's good. That's good stuff. That is worth however much those thermal-backed curtains cost your wage. How much those custom-made thermal-backed curtains were when the person came out and measured them up and quoted you and you were like, that's money well spent. Ali, what was your post-relationship power play? So my partner and I split up after three years

and he always wanted to start travelling, but he was so indecisive about where we were going to go. So after the breakup, I blocked him on all fours of social, got on a new relationship with a guy that actually decided where we were going to go when we were travelling. We picked a continent. So as soon as I went travelling, had great photos, he was totally unblocked, and he got to see everything.

It was great. So you blocked him, and then as soon as you unblocked, he got a barrage. Just a whole like... Yeah. Wow. And so as you know, Matt, he saw it and it was brilliant.

Did he ever say anything? Did he like any of the photos? There was a cheeky like and unlike. I did get a notification on that. Whoa. God, it's nothing as worse when you're stalking someone's Instagram and you accidentally double tap.

You're trying to do a quick scroll. Yeah, I know. And then it double taps and you're like, what do I do? Didn't you do that? Do I unlike? Yeah. Hey, thanks, you're cool, Ellie. Michael, what was your post-relationship power play?

Well, it's not actually a post-relationship power play. I just had to call because I related so heavily to the Miley Cyrus story. Right. So, I mean, I was with my ex-boyfriend for 11 years. We were engaged. We owned a house together. That's a long in straight years. That's like 42

years married. Yeah, I know. And in gay years, I think it's possibly even longer. It's an infinity. Very weird. But anyway, we go through a very, very painful breakup. Okay. End up separating the house, which I now own. It's in quite a remote area.

You know, you have to kind of go out of your way to go there. Yeah. In recent months, he started sleeping with a woman that literally lived right across the road. So I'm completely in the same boat as Miley Cyrus and her ex having to drive past one another all the time and all that awkwardness. Is he into sleeping with this girl

or is he just putting up with it for the fact that it's like rubbing it in your face? Please, is he suffering through? Well, yeah, I mean, looking at her, I have to wonder. Michael! I'm going to call you all in your life. You're all being bitches now. I love Michael.

This is great. Brilliant. Oh, thanks, guys. Okay. Ryan, so, wow, that's a power play from him. It's a power play from him, exactly. So, full power to him. I mean, I try to be good human about it, but it's super, super awkward at the moment.

Yeah, right. Okay. That's so brilliant. All right, thanks, Michael. Some more text messages. And wow, people are very petty, aren't they? My first boyfriend and I broke up. We were going to be at a mutual friend's birthday party.

And I knew his favorite thing about me was my ass. So I wore brand new tight jeans that made my ass look great. And they did this emoji on the end. Yeah. The A-OK. Yeah. So there you go. I blocked my ex on all forms of social media.

And much like our caller before, unblocked them. So at the time where they would have got a barrage of photos of my new and very happy relationship with a very spunky man. I'm actually, somebody said, I'm actually in this predicament at the moment. I have over my ex that he winds back car speedos.

And I'm just waiting to play my ace card on that situation. My ex was doing some low-level money laundering for a friend who I hated. So I knocked on them both. Wow. Low-level money laundering on the side. Good Lord.

Yeah, so they were avoiding paying tax. I want to be keeping away from all of that. Isn't that mostly related with gangs and stuff? Gangs have been known to launder. I'd be like wanting to stay well away from all of that. I'd decline all that drug money. You can't just go put in the bank and be like, well, another good week dealing drugs, was it?

It was, thank you, yeah. Do they still do free pens? I mean, I've got cash, but you can even say no to a free pen. Yeah. Some other text messages in. My best friend, her boyfriend of seven years broke up with her and within the week started dating his new flatmate. For seven years, he had refused to travel beyond Australia.

He'd never wanted to go any further than Australia. Within two months, he was on a full-blown European-UK trip with his new girlfriend. What? And it set in motion a lot of back-and-forth power play between them, primarily doing stuff just so the other person would see. That's no way to live your life

no you just need to like move on and cut it yeah like this person I went to a party at my ex's house with my new boyfriend

and we had a cookie in the bathroom with the ex? no with the new oh with the new one okay um

you would have come out from the bathroom all just like just shibbled yeah flushed I was always one. Okay. You would have come out from the bathroom all just like... Just shibbled. Yeah. Flushed. He always told me I wasn't smart. No, that's not nice, is it? Yeah, no. That's no sort of relationship to be in.

So I got a degree. Oh, that's so good. And he always hated flying. Didn't want to go anywhere. So I went on a three month holiday to Europe and made sure the glamorous photos were well spread. People are going to so much effort

just to rub it in someone's face and they might not even care. Do we ever think about that? They do. Somebody else said they found out that their ex

had told their probation officer that we were still together to try to get a lighter sentence by saying he was living with me and our child and he was supporting them. I rung and said, look, we're not.

He actually asked us to leave because he wanted to sleep around and we were inconvenient to his plan, so that cost him in his probation. Right. Good work on that one. Good work, New Zealand. Proud of you. Proud of you, you petty bunch. My friend had her partner deported after he cheated on her. Wow. See you, bitch.

That's not funny. Yes, it is. You're laughing. I am. I'm a terrible person. 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 so a study has come out of the uk looking at um arguments in the household uh and what arguments are over and how many a year. So I guess just looked at British families, but I mean, you could probably liken this to the flatting situation as well. The average British family has a proper argument. It's not one a day, but it's 260 a year. Crikey. Now these are full on arguments 260 a year on average

So that's more than one every second day though right? Yeah Wow okay So that would mean there are just 105 days of the year When members living in the same household Do not experience any massive fallouts So they polled a whole lot of British families And the cause of most of these arguments

Was Dishes Messiness Yeah a whole lot of British families and the cause of most of these arguments was... Dishes. Messiness. Yeah. Yeah. And lights on. Oh, really? You left the lights on.

What's the other one? Parents will really worry about. No, I had a friend the other day that came in and turned all my lights off. I was like, you're not paying the bill. What are you doing? Leave my lights on. I do that everywhere I go.

No. Turn all the lights off. I like full light in my kitchen. Be energy efficient, please. I've got LED bulbs. Yeah, just, you don't Leave my lights on. I do that everywhere I go. No. I turn all the lights off. I like full light in my kitchen. Be energy efficient, please. I've got LED bulbs. Yeah, just, you don't need to waste it. It's one cent. It's one cent.

I like a bright kitchen. Don't turn my light off. That's fair enough. I'm paying the bill. I went down the hallway yesterday and I was like, is there any reason why the bathroom light's on? And we hadn't been down there for ages. Mum, that's such a mum thing to say.

Oh, I forgot to turn it off. Mr. Toyboy. No, lights are just my thing. I turn them off. Well, and that's,

kids, it's this. Hey, kids, come here. Oh, here we go. Here's a lesson.

You call them in and you're like, any reason why this light's on? No? Oh, interesting. Do you want to turn it off? Well,

you turn it off, Dad. You're closer. I'm so passive aggressive. Well, I didn't turn it off well you turn it off dad you're closer aggressive well i didn't turn it on so i'm not i'm not turning it off and then they go to walk away without turning it off you're like i said turn it off now hello oh no i think that wasn't scary oh well yeah i turned him on. I said. Say what you're into. This would be my teleports, yeah. Yeah. I said, now.

That's, yelling, I find yelling doesn't work as well as hushed whispers. Oh, really? Is that your, does that get it done? It is, but like, scarier. Right. I even remember as a kid, if dad was ever ever like, oh well, someone's in big trouble. You'd be like, why is he whispering? Why isn't he yelling? Why isn't he yelling? What's he doing?

You have to be quiet to hear what they're saying. Yeah. What did you say, dad? Don't worry about it. He didn't hear the first time. God, run. Everybody abandon ship! So the biggest causes of arguments, messiness was number one, and that includes dishes, clothes, the bath or the bathroom,

chores and housework, rota, not being done, leaving lights on, 26% was third common for fighting in the home. Food waste was number four. I don't hear that. The broccoli that goes all soft and gooey. Well, my kids love vegetables. It's the meat that they don't, which is great because I just eat it. Yeah.

But you've kind of got to pretend that you don't want it. Like last night I made fried chicken and August was like, it's too crispy. It's too crispy. And I wanted to eat it real bad. But I had to pretend I didn't. Oh, right. Okay.

Of course it's crispy It's fried chicken Eat it I don't want to eat it I said eat it Did you make them Some sriracha mayo To help it down

Oh god Sriracha mayo No that I'm hoping One day their Love for taste Is going to kick in At the moment

They've got their Grandmother's bloody Temperament Oh this is spicy Yes it's salt. All right, it's Halloween today. Happy Halloween. Next on the show, we're going to try to get to the bottom of Megan's Halloween costume

because she won't tell us. She's playing mystery. She has said, though, if someone guesses it, and I'm assuming text machine counts for this too. Yeah, I'll tell you if someone guesses right. But it's kind of a couple's kind of costume. It's not a couple. Who we're dressing up as is not a couple, but the costumes go together.

What did you go as last year? Oh, my God. Karl Lagerfeld and his cat, Choupette. Choupette's diary on Instagram shared our picture. That's like, that was a big moment. How many followers do they have? 100 and something thousand. Okay.

When did Karl Lagerfeld die? Four months ago. This year? Yeah, February this year. So you got it in pre-def. Yeah. Hot play. Thanks.

But you're so ahead of the curve. Rubbing that crest. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Happy Halloween. It's today. That means tomorrow's November. Nuts. I bought all my candy, all my lollies for the trick-or-treaters that come around.

Didn't you do this last year and like two kids turned up? No, I ran out of lollies and we had to take the balloons down and be like, sorry, closed up shop. Best part about living rurally, I'm not expecting any. Best thing about living in an apartment with four security locked doors, no one. Good luck. Good luck getting in here.

If they get in, they deserve it. I don't know, what have you got? Do you have any lollies in case? Are there any kids that live on your floor? Not even in our building, nah. Fantastic. Yeah, it's great. And plus, I don't keep lollies and chocolate in the house

because then I eat it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You only buy I don't keep like lollies and chocolate in the house because then I eat it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I only buy it when I need it. Very low. But I do have like rubbish cookies. We might be migrating to that one street in Point Chevalier in Auckland that does a good trick or treat. Oh, yeah.

There's every neighbourhood around the country has like those rich areas that everyone takes their kids to that they don't normally live at. Yeah. And a couple of real grumpy people live on the street with a sign and they're like, get back off.

Because we have to put something visually on our house to say that we're participating. And like heaps of people do. It's like massive in our area. What do you have to put on your house? Like pumpkin? Just like some kind of decoration. Right, okay.

So we've got like Halloween balloons. But you can see there's like a couple of neighbours that are a bit grumpy, grumps, that don't do it. And like they're well known for being grumps. We got a Christian sermon once. I thought they were like joking because it was Halloween. Yep.

But no, they were telling us that what we were doing was celebrating the devil and something else. And I was like, shut up. You got any lollies? These kids aren't here for this bloody lecture, mate. I grew up Catholic. I've heard it all before. Blah, blah, blah. Give got any lollies? These kids aren't here for this bloody lecture, mate. I grew up Catholic, I've heard it all before. Blah, blah, blah, give us some lollies. And they didn't have any, so we were like, lame. That's what the trick is, I think, maybe.

Go back and egg them. Yeah. I think that's the idea of it. But Megan, you like a dress up for Halloween? It's the only time I like dressing up. I don't know why. A lot of thought goes into it. Because we have, our friends have like a big Halloween party every year.

So it's the same friends. Same friends. They love a Halloween party. Yeah. Like they go all out. And last year you did Karl Lagerfeld and his cat. Yeah. And you were the cat.

I was the cat. And then Karl Lagerfeld died. So maybe that's the curse of Megan and Andrew. Whoever you dress up as will die. And Megan won't tell us. No. Why are you being so weird about this? Because it's a surprise.

We're like, surprise. You did say. You know Mr. Toyboy should dress up as that guy of Vikings that he looks like. No, don't say that to him. He hates it. Why does he hate it? Because he's like rough and dirty. He's like, I don't look like him.

I've never seen him dirty. He actually does look very clean. Yeah, he's always clean. Never smells bad. I've never smelled him smelling bad. What about if he does something outside? Digging. I couldn't imagine he showers straight after. Shambles. What if he did that? couldn't imagine. Like he showers undrugging and blood blocking a drain on his name sleeve.

Shambles. Like what if he did that? He'd shower straight after. But what if it was a long job and he got dirty early in the piece? I don't think he'd do it. Okay. He'd hire someone to do it. So he doesn't want to dress up as a guy with Vikings because he looks grubby.

Okay. So you've said if we can guess, you'll tell us yes. Give us the clothes. So last year, oh no, last year we weren't a couple either. So this year, I put on my Instagram, there's some sewing involved, which has white material and white lace. Which looks like, yeah, it's like neck curtains. It looks like neck curtains.

Lots of people were like bride of Chucky or like lots of bride questions. Not that. Not a bride. Not a bride of anything. And we aren't a couple, but our costumes do go together. And just in terms of Karl Lagerfeld, there's no risk of either of us dying after we... So you're not dressing up like a live celebrity? No. Neither of us are. Are you dressing up like a live celebrity? No, neither of us are.

Are you dressing up as people or things? Ooh. Like that time I went as a car seat. That's a thing. I mean, one is a person and one's questionable. What? More like... Like a humanoid, would you say?

So like human-esque. Or a thing. Human-esque. Human say So like human-esque Or a thing Human-esque Human-esque Human-esque God I've got no idea And like Semi-topical this year

Are you going as the Me too movement In white lace And Like I don't know No Semi-topical this year

Yeah Have other people Been dressing up as it? Yes. So far this Halloween season. Oh, yes. And that annoyed me because they, like, you know when celebrities dress up as something you're going to dress up as and they have all the money in the world and it looks amazing.

Oh, yeah. They get makeup artists. And then I got a spotlight and sew it myself. It's just like never going to match up. You're like that Pinterest fails with baking. Yeah, pretty much. But with costumes. Some text pretty much. But with costumes. Some text messages

guessing. Glory veil? No, I had that a lot. Are you going as a fridge freezer? What is one of you the fridge, one of you the freezer and you get to the party and you're like, alright, on my shoulders. Holy shit, that's so great. I would love to see someone dress up as a fridge freezer.

Just piggyback. And you've got a little door, a little flap, and you've got like frozen vegetables in you. And that's how you can tell who's a fridge freezer. Yeah. Princess Leia. No. Greta Thunberg.

No. Yes, you're Greta Thunberg and Andrew's the boat. Right. No. I was going to say who would be the other person. She does ride him everywhere. Oh, gross. Even that grossed me out.

Yeah, that was disgusting. What did I do that for? I don't know. Alia messaged, are you going as Pennywise, the clown from It? I'm not going as Pennywise. Is Andrew going to be Pennywise? Andrew's Pennywise and I'm Georgie. So you've Is Andrew going to be Pennywise? Andrew's Pennywise. And I'm Georgie.

So you've got a yellow raincoat? Yeah. And a red balloon? Damn it, you guys are wrong there. But why were you... Where was the veil neck curtain material for? No, you have to wait and see. He's got neck ruffles and all that.

He's got the freaky old plain neck ruffling bits and pieces. See, now it's antic Oh, that wasn't it. Send out Santa Claymant because you ruined it. That was really built up. I thought you were going to be Pennywise. No, shit no. It already scares me enough like painting his face. But then if it was you, you wouldn't have to see it.

Oh, yeah, okay. So you could go around the night happily unless somebody there dresses the mirror. No, I just liked the raincoat idea because once I get sick of it, I can take it off and I'm dressed real cute underneath. Which is also what was underneath Georgie's raincoat. Yeah, real cute outfit. A real cute outfit. I wouldn't get to see it because it got bloody down the storm drain. Are you going to splash out on helium?

Because there's nothing worse than someone dresses up and pretends to be Pennywise and they've got a floppy balloon. Yeah, on Saturday, that's my one job is get a helium balloon. Absolutely. I'm going to try and make a little origami boat too. To carry around. Yeah. Yeah. Goodbye.

Oh my God. Can you please get in a drain? If you could, that'd be great. Get Andrew in the drain. In the drain. In the drain. Oh my God. No.

If you know of a location around Auckland where a drain is easily accessible and can take a full-size man. Remember when I said it isn't like getting dirty? Oh, he's not going to go on a train, is he? Yeah, no. Right. In his white outfit, no. Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad person? If you're new to the show, it's a segment where we take a look at somebody's predicament, their problem, and we all put in our two cents. Yeah. And as a nation, yeah, decide which way to go. Sometimes I say, here's my

five cents, keep the change. You're a big fan of Swedish rounding, though. Massive fan. But then that would be rounded down to zero cents from two cents. Sure. If you're going to quote Swedish rounding, mate, know what it is. But you're not walking out of the store with something for free. Yes, I am.

Because they chose Swedish Rounding and also listed something for two cents. Okay, this is from a guy. Okay. And anonymous, of course. And this is great because I, this is, I've been in this situation. Yeah. Okay. Hey, guys, I need help. Am I a bad person? I've been in this situation. Yeah. Okay. Hey guys, I need help.

Am I a bad person? I'm at the gym a lot and I'm always pretty focused on what I'm doing. The gym I go to has men and women working out in the same area, which is not the issue at all. But yesterday there was a female at the gym who was wearing very little. I don't even feel comfortable describing what she was wearing without being disrespectful and I don't want it to seem like I was staring at her

but the outfit was tight and tiny. She was there with her boyfriend and I was quite uncomfortable around her and I could tell the other guys there didn't know what to do either. I didn't want to look in her direction and I didn't want to be near her. I know she doesn't have to dress according to what makes me feel comfortable and honestly I'm not that type of guy. But is there some places, are there some places, where there should be a dress code in place for the sake of everyone there? I guess I want to know if I'm a bad person for thinking there should be a suitable attire for the gym or do I just remove myself from the situation?

Because you don't want to be in that situation where you look like you're working out next to someone just because you want to have a perv at them, eh? Yeah. Or even have them in your line of sight. But then at the same time, they can wear whatever they want. Exactly.

But then, I don't even feel comfortable commenting. But then they've felt so uncomfortable they need to say something about this. Look, I'll speak on behalf of sexy people. I feel adequately. We are so lucky you're here to represent the sexy people. No, that's actually not a problem. I can only speak for the ones whose ideals light up with me.

I'm there to be looked at. Right. That's up with me. I'm there to be looked at. Right. That's all you want. I'm there to be complimented. Call me old fashioned but I still like being wolf whistled at when I walk past

the construction site. Do you? Okay. That's who I am. Now I can't speak for everybody but I speak for some. Yeah, right. Surely.

I don't like being wolf whistled at. Well, I almost was being sarcastic there. But what do you... Was. But what do you think? Was I? What do you think? Because you go to the gym in the morning when no one's there.

No one's there. Me and a guy that we've got an agreement with, we just go, how are you? Morning. Then we don't talk again. Oh, that's good. See, because as a female, I totally agree with his, like what he said, that he doesn't get to dictate what she wears but in the same

token he's saying he's uncomfortable so like I don't think anyone should be able to make anyone feel uncomfortable in a public setting but he's uncomfortable because he doesn't want to be labelled a perv or like he's next to her working out. He doesn't want

people to look at him and think oh you're a perv because you're working out next to the hot girl wearing little to nothing. Should the dress code be there just so everyone's comfortable in the situation? But what would the dress code be? I don't know. No white shoes. I don't know what the answer is. They're wearing active wear.

They're just not wearing a lot of it. Yeah. Like what if I was working out at the gym in my Borat bikini? Well, that's what I was going to say. And you know had some balls poking up the side. How would. That's what I was going to say is if say a guy was there and like you know how you get skins and some guys don't wear shorts over top

even though. Oh you can see some bulge. And like maybe no shirt. You know like just skins and no shirt. I've always wondered what a gym's policy would be on no shirt. Say you're kind of be inappropriate, right? I've always wondered what a gym's policy would be on no shirt. Say you're on the treadmill. I know, I know. I think you've got to wear a shirt because it's a hygiene thing.

I've never seen guys like topless at the gym walking around because you've got to wear a t-shirt. Yeah. Because you can't be like on the benches like sweating all over. But see, where does like a crop top become, like is that enough coverage? Is that a t-shirt? What's a crop top?... Is that enough coverage? Is that a t-shirt? But then...

What's a crop top? Like a sports bra. Yeah, yeah. Right, right, right. I don't know the answer. I'm just literally putting it out there. Wear what you want. That's fine.

Totally. But I guess it's just that some people are just feeling a bit uncomfortable by that. Yeah. Not because you look bad in it. Just because they don't want to be labelled. Because this is so interesting. Somebody messaged in, most gyms do have a dress code,

but it's not like, enforced strictly until someone says to someone that works at the gym, I feel uncomfortable. I feel uncomfortable with that person's lack of clothing. And this can be for guys or girls. But what is the dress code?

What would the normal gym... Like, would a sports bra be okay? And then where do you draw the line between sports bra and then crop top? Because some of them are, you know, like... Okay, so then some dress codes they said are for... Somebody else said are for hygiene reasons, because if she's wearing a crop top and boots shorts...

Booty shorts. Booty shorts. Yeah, maybe that was an autocorrect. Booty shorts. Then the sweat's going to get way more all over the machines and other people, and that's gross. Same for shirtless guys. Their main reason is hygiene. So we want to know this morning, 0800-DARZATM, 9696 text in,

is this guy a bad person? Is he a bad person for thinking there should be suitable attire for the gym? What do you think? But then maybe let's also hear from those people that do wear very little to the gym. Yeah, I mean, I'm jealous because I'd love to be able to wear that. Sure, yeah. But do you think you should have to cover up them?

Oh, bless. You don't have to. You wear whatever you want. Bless your sweater. Except those when you had those imitation shape-ups. Don't wear those. We pretend that never happened. It was a blip on the radar.

I'm sorry. It was a momentary lapse. 0800-DARNZ.M9696. Is he a bad person? Give us a call. Am I a bad person? So just quickly, if you've just joined us, this is quite controversial this morning.

I still haven't decided where I'm at. A guy feeling awkward at his gym. So there was a female who was wearing very little. He didn't want to be caught staring. He felt really uncomfortable and didn't want to be near her. So he's pretty much

said, is he a bad person for thinking there should be suitable attire for the gym maybe? Or does he have to remove himself from the situation? This literally happened to me a few weeks ago, and you could see how awkward it was. There's lots of even females texting in that, I mean, she can wear whatever she wants for sure. Yeah.

But if people are feeling uncomfortable, like, I don't know. Because they don't want to be labelled a perv when they're not maybe. And I tell you what, there are a lot of calls and text messages. We'll start with Kieran. Kieran, what do you think? Is he a bad person? Yeah, I think that it's a good thing to have girls wearing next to nothing at gyms. Just being a builder in Christchurch on building sites, if there was a female tradie on site,

it made all the guys kind of work harder to try and impress her. Kieran, are you calling from the 1960s? No, no. No, it's the new way to, it's the new Wolf Whistle, a work ethic. Yeah, I think it is. It's good motivation. Like, if that guy's having a hard time with her wearing next to nothing, then maybe he should change gyms.

But he doesn't want to be seen to be gawking at her yeah but like just make it fun and like you know just start pumping weights and look at her and like that's exactly what he doesn't want to do okay kieran uh well you're entitled to your opinion thank you kieran all good courtney what do you think is he a bad person no not at all She needs to wear clothes. I'm sorry, girls are like taking the mickey now. That's like being allowed to wear what they want. So there's, I guess there is somewhat of a double standard argument there because essentially what a lot of people wear could be akin to underwear.

And guys don't wear underwear to the gym. No, but that Kimmy Hember or whatever her name is, you see her photos or videos on Instagram, akin to underwear and guys don't wear underwear to the gym no it's like that Kimmy Hember or whatever her name is you see her photos or videos on Instagram you're like

what are you even wearing yeah right but if it's private on Instagram I feel like that's different you know yeah because you're choosing to

you followed them yeah for sure I think that's different somebody said people are just like they've got this like obviously

you know it's not you can take that into a whole completely different context Somebody said Yeah but girls are just like They've got this like Obviously You know It's not You can take that Into a whole Completely different context But if you're at the gym You're in public Don't

You know Don't wear Stuff like that Right Just to be suitable Too revealing Yeah for sure Somebody said

They didn't know It was inappropriate They used to wear a crop top To the gym Until their burby fell out On the school board Oh no I don't know Imagine if inappropriate. They used to wear a crop top to the gym until their burby fell out on the school board. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Imagine if you, like, went one, just fell out of the board. I know. I feel bad for him. Courtney, thanks for your call. Lauren, what do you think? Is he a bad person? No, I don't think so at all. And I think what we're missing here is, I guess, the level of support that the crop top's giving.

Because I've got a similar situation at my gym where a guy goes with his girlfriend and she wears, like, this boob tube that basically when she just walks, like, her boobs bounce. And I find it quite, not really uncomfortable. I mean, you look at her and it's kind of hard not to look. But then all she does is a few squats and maybe a few sit-ups and buggers off. So you can tell she's only there for the attention. Yeah, right. You know?

So I think, you know. A boob tube doesn't have any support. So, like, I just... Exactly. That's really risky business. I'm not a bad person for thinking this at all. And obviously, if you're a guy, holy shit, you're probably going to get turned on.

Oh, sorry, if I'm allowed to say that. You know, you probably would get turned on because, hey, it is. It's really, like, quite, you know, nice to see in some cases. You don't want a stiff turned on because, hey, it is. It's really, like, quite, you know, nice to see. You don't want to stiffy on the rhyme machine, though. I think of all the exercises, that would be the worst one to get one on, wouldn't it?

The rhyme machine. I don't know. There's no talking on the rhyme machine. Lauren, thanks. Amy, what do you think? Is he a bad person? No. For me, I often wear a crop top to the gym. Okay.

In fact, I'm actually in the gym car park now just about to start my workout. You tried your best. You got to the car park. That's good enough for the day. Did you get a park? No, I had to stop. Yeah. Oh, it sucks when you find a park.

Then you have to go. You're going to be late if you actually go in. You're on your way and the rain stops. You're like, ah, come on. So you've never had a problem with anyone feeling uncomfortable or saying anything? No, because for me, I'm so focused on myself. I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. I'm so, I need to work hard.

And to be honest, I spend an hour on the stepper, then I just wait. And by the time I'm finished the stepper, I'm dripping. I can't, yeah. Yeah, I spend like an hour on the stepper, then I just wait. And by the time I'm finished with the stepper, I'm dripping. Yeah, I'm crazy. It's a hard argument because you should be able to wear whatever you want and we shouldn't tell you what to wear. But then at the same time, people are feeling uncomfortable because they don't want to be labelled perverts. So it's such a hard argument, isn't it?

Yeah, but you can wear anything you want, but you're not going to go to like a cocktail party in a bikini. You know what I mean? There's always like certain elements of dress that's fire that's suitable. What about this, Amy? If, say for example, Vaughn was in his Speedos. Correct. And a singlet.

Yeah. A really tight singlet. I'm on the rowing machine. Or a crop top. How would you feel looking at that? I wouldn't. I'd just walk away. You bitch.

I'm working hard. I'm sorry. You know. D'm working hard. I'm sorry. You know. I dress like this. I want a compliment. But what about if it's in your face, Amy? It's jiggling about. While he's doing some skits.

Hey, look. I've seen dudes wear, like, you know, rugby shorts with no undies under it. You know? Oh, my God. You know? Really? What? Jiggling?

I've got a big crease. Or even girls in shorts, and you can see out their shorts, you know? Like, you do see that at the gym, but I am doing my own thing. And grey sweatpants. Grey sweatpants. You are totally right too if you're focused on your own biz. Thanks, Amy. Somebody messaged in saying about, someone just said, I've seen a male's balls.

That's all they said. She's an appropriation. Now? Stop. Somebody said, what about grey sweatpants and I've got no idea I said what are you talking about they said the grey sweatpants

challenge Oh lord So if you wear greys as a person when I exercise my penis packs in and goes home It's like

It's just like I'll wait for you in the car It's like a turtle into its shell Yeah yeah yeah Let me know when we're hitting the showers I'll make a reappearance under. Yeah, it's like a turtle into its shell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me know when we're hitting the showers.

I'll make a reappearance under a tepid water. That sort of thing. Wag me up when September ends. Yeah. Wag me up when the cardio ends. Yeah. But apparently, so you wear grey sweatpants, undies optional, and it's showing off your member.

Well, yeah, there's not much left of the imagination. Maybe you should do a little. Imagination's my best friend, can I say. If I leave nothing to the imagination, there's not much left. Yeah. So, yeah. But that's for a whole other am I a bad person for wearing grey sweatpants. But what would you say if we had to.

What would you say, Vaughan? It is divided. Pretty divided. 50-50. Yeah, just kind of like some people saying If we had to... What would you say, Vaughan? It is divided. Pretty divided. 50-50? Pretty divided, yeah. Just kind of like some people saying that they really don't think about other people when they're at the gym. And some other people saying if there is something that catches their eye, they can't stop looking back.

Right. But then that's more on them than the person. But then the most common response about it is most gyms have a dress code, and if you think somebody is breaking it or breaching it, you can ask the gym and health and safety, and there is a dress code. So you mean I could actually probably finally press that silent call button that they have on the wall? In the toilet.

I think that's if you fall off the toilet. No, it's everywhere. They're all over my gym. You just press it and they come to you. That's if you're in trouble, in duress. I thought that was after hours when there was nobody else there. And if you're by yourself, you take one in case you're doing bench presses and you drop it on your throat.

You don't like, call it. No, it's just always a red button. Always want to press it. Yes, Mr. Fletcher. Can I have a glass of cold water, please? It doesn't work like that. Do they do that? Oh, okay.

Yes, Mr. Fletcher. I saw some balls. Do something about it. Fact of the day, day, day, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, can fish see water? Or do they just look out and see like we see outside? Yeah. Well, today's fact of the day is fish can't see water anymore than we can see air. Wow. Well, that makes sense though, because like it's all around you. It's consuming. But then so if a fish was in here now, would it look outside and see the air waving? No, no, no, no, because the fish can't see air either

because it's lower in something called a refractive index. Okay. Now our eyes have evolved. Yeah. Or God made our eyes. I'm trying to be inclusive. Yeah. And then made our wires. I'm trying to be inclusive. Yeah. And then I'll do this.

We've evolved. I've undone all the inclusiveness, haven't I? Yeah. With that childish scoff. Yeah. We evolved in air. Yep. And our eyes evolved so we don't see air.

Okay. Fish evolved the same way. They evolved in their surroundings to not see water. But because water is a higher refractive, higher on the refractive incident thing, they can't see index. They can't see anything below water. Okay.

And air is below water on the refractive index. Right. So that's how much light and stuff it catches and refracts. But if someone came here, say an alien came here. Okay. And air is below water on the refractive index. Right. So that's how much light and stuff it catches and refracts. But if someone came here, say an alien came here, from a different planet, where their air had a lower refractive index than ours, they'd be able to

see our air. Like one of those weather charts, when it's all the different colours when it gets more windy. You know those things? No, it's not. Wind is different to air. No, but it might see the lines, like, moving. Oh, God, I don't know. I'm just trying to...

If there was wind... If there was wind... Isn't wind air moving fast? Yeah, but... Yeah, okay, hold on. Oh, listen, we've gone down a hole that we can't explain out of. So wind is... Fast moving air.

Moving air. So, yes, they would see wind, but they would see air as well. In this room here, why did you laugh at me? Why did you laugh at me? Because I was just imagining those lines with the blue triangles on it that mean like a front's coming or whatever. Would it be like when there's mist kind of for us, we can see... A little bit more like that.

Right. Yeah, but they could see through it, but they could see it. Like, you know how you can see a window? Mm-hmm. I can see through it, but I can see it. Like, you know how you can see a window? Mm-hmm. I can see through it, but I can see it. But you can see it. A refractive index. Sometimes, unless you're running real fast,

and mum's cleaned the ranch lighter. Oh, we've all run into the ranch lighter, haven't we? Yeah. Mum, I can clean the ranch lighter. So when a bird hits a window, and you're like, you're a dumbass. I'm always so angry at birds when they hit into the windows. I'm like, you should know better.

It's my first day out the nest. know better it's my first day out the nest well it's your last day out the nest you hit that hard you're twitching and here comes the cat good luck oh my god that turned really dark

oh no but then it got up and flew away straight into the mouth of the cat and nursed it back to health I gave it a little sippy of milk did they drink milk? Oh, don't give it milk.

Give it away, Pat. It's anti-intolerant. You're like, drink the milk. And then you fuck it up into the air thinking it's ready and then it goes down to the ground. The thrush in thrush language is like, and you're like, it's okay, yes. The thank you is very nice.

But you don't do that. We drink the milk, except in thrush language it's like, not milk, not milk. And you're just pushing its head into the milk. You're forfeiting me poison! I would rather have died at the hands of the cat, at least it would have been a

swift death. And you're like, fly! Thrush and throw it in the air and it's like, I'm not ready yet! And then the cat's like, thank you. Okay, that got very dark. No birds were harmed in the making of this segment. Of this fact of the day, no.

So it's why we can't see anything with a light or a small... Oh, you're done. We're done, mate. Wrap it up. Are you finished? You've had enough. I'm putting my lip balm on. That means it's time to wrap it up.

That means it's time to wrap it up. So today's fact of the day is fish can't see water just like we can't see air. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. These two here love chat about dishwasher stacking. Love a bit of dishwasher stacking. You've got to do it right. The other day, I've been trying to teach the girls about chores and stuff.

Yeah. And so I was teaching them about the washing machine. Yeah. Like what to put in. How you don't put towels with your ordinary clothes because it gets fluffy. Because they get fluffy. Yeah, good call.

Because I don't want them to be those kids, I mean, they're like seven and five, but I don't want them to be those kids that move out of home and don't know how to do washing. And you know what my first lesson was? What? See this thing in the top, in the middle? Never put powder in here.

Never. Never put powder in. What's it for then, Dad? It's for fabric softener for rich people. We might as well throw it away. Powder never put powder in. What's it for then, Dad? It's for fabric softener for rich people. We might as well throw it away. Powder never goes in there. Oh, my God, that triggers me because I used to play it with people and the emails.

And you'd have the flat chat and someone would still do it. Everyone would be like, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me. Next day, it's in there. I know. God, that got me so wild. So this is particularly talking about the cutlery in a dishwasher. Okay.

So this is someone who is a dishwasher expert. Yeah. So an expert in how to stack dishwashers. Right. How do you become an expert in dishwashers? What, you make them? I don't know. Yeah, sure.

Maybe you make some. Okay. So he has said that the knives and forks in a dishwasher basket. Yep. Go down. Should face down. To the bottom of the basket. Yeah.

No. They should face up. Why do you think they should face up? Up for cleaning. Because when they're down in the basket, they're not getting the wash. They're not getting smashed from above. I mean, I'm not arguing because that's how I do it too. But there's three reasons why he says they should be down.

One of them better not be safety. That's number one. Because when you jab your finger with a sharp knife. Yeah, hey look, we've all had a fork prong between the nail and the finger. Oh God, that hurts. That's just part of being an adult and one of the pains of life that's unavoidable.

That's life. But to me, if you've got a sharp knife... You put it down? I just hand wash my knives. I don't put my knives in my dishwasher. I put the sharp ones down. Lay them down. Yeah.

No, I just point them down. Point them down. For safety. The second one is it's easier to unload. So you just grab the handles, chuck them straight in the drawer. Yeah, but life's not meant to be easy. Life's meant to be a daily struggle. You're saving seconds, not days.

But this is his opinion. And then he said, for germs and smudges, put them down. Because when you pick them up, you're putting whatever's on your hands, germies. You pick up under the utensil bit. You pick up at the bend. No, I pick up the blade on the button. Or you do this really noisy, annoying thing that I do. You put a tea towel on the bench and then you just go clang

and pour everything onto the tea towel. Oh, yeah, that's a good way to do it as well. People love that noise. Well, we've run a poll on Instagram and up 75% put their cutlery up in the dishwasher. It gets smashed. Like it's got the whirlybird above it and it's just like showering. That would be like you jumping in the shower and doing a handstand.

You'd wash your bum. Yeah, well, you'd have a very clean bum. And we don't clean, maybe we're not cleaning the spoon's bums enough. I am so happy that most of our audience

are 75% cutlery up. Me too. I'm disappointed that one quarter of them are morons, but I mean, we'll take it. We'll just take what we can get.

We'll take what we can get. Yeah, 25% saying down in the dishwasher. But see, it's everything. It's people that I also don't wash, rinse dishes and expect to put like a caked in bowl in the dishwasher and expect it to magically come out clean. Always rinse your plates. God, it just makes me...

I'm not there for a long time. Just chuck it in the dishwasher. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Is Mr. Toyboy in charge at home of the dishwasher? I feel he'd do it well. Do you?

Because he puts his cutlery down. He puts Blade down. You both have lost course. Divorce isn't like, it's hard, Megan, but you've been through one. You might as well do another one. Third time's a charm. Yeah, you'll finally find someone that can stack the dishwasher right. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

You may be aware, because I remember this came up last Christmas and Talkback got some good calls out of it. There's a Christmas song. It's just, it's cold outside. How does it go? It's cold outside. How does it go? It's cold outside. Oh, I really must go. Why don't you stay?

What's it called? Is it called It's Cold Outside? Baby, It's Cold Outside. Baby, It's Cold Outside. It's cold out. It's like from 1944. It's cold,

Baby, It's Cold Outside by Idina Menzel. Not that one. She did a version. That one, I'm pretty sure the lyrics would be the same. Who sung it? Because it's heaps of covers in version. I'm pretty sure the lyrics would be the same. Who sung it?

Because heaps of covers in here. I need an actual... I don't know. Bruce Robinson? I don't know. Dean Martin did it. Heaps of people have done it. It doesn't matter.

It's all the same song. All the same. Hang on, I'll fast forward. God, you picked the worst version. What are you doing? Who was that? I don't know. Is that Nora Jones? Just let her pick one. No. I thought it worst version. What are you doing? Who was that? I don't know. Is that Nora Jones?

Just let her pick one. No. If it was Nora, gotta love her putting Nora. Okay, this sounds like a Christmassy one. Don't hassle his choice because he'll pack a sad and stop it. Oh, this is the one I think of.

What was it? Okay. So as the song goes on, there's lines like, say what's in this drink. Is there? No calves to be had out there. The whole thing, like, there might as well be a door slowly. You're not going anywhere. Wow. Okay. not going anywhere. Wow, okay.

Times have changed. You hear these songs, but you don't really listen to the lyrics, do you? No, you don't. It's like greased lightning. Yeah, right. Wildly inappropriate. We were kids all singing the mega mix at the disco, were we? When that line comes on about how the car will really make chicks

happy and fun and consensual? And we didn't think anything of it and now we look back and we're like, ugh. But yeah,

this song kind of got put on blast the last couple of Christmases about how insistent this guy was that this woman not go anywhere. And stay inside

his warm house. Yeah, yeah. And drink this drink. Yeah, very creepy. Yeah, drink up and you're not going anywhere. Oh, my parents warm house. Yeah, yeah. And drink the string. Yeah, very creepy. Yeah, drink up and you're not going anywhere. Oh, my parents will be worried. They'll be fine. Like, John Legend is remaking it.

Okay. And making it a little bit more friendly. Okay. So what is he going to call her in an Uber? He's going to call Kelly Clarkson. Okay. Call herself an Uber. It's 2019. There's no way he should have to pay for an Uber? He's going to call Kelly Clarkson. Okay. Call herself an Uber. It's 2019.

There's no way he should have to pay for her Uber. Fair call. Fair call. What all my friends think. Yeah. I think they should rejoice is one of the lines. Yeah. And if I have one more drink, it's your body, it's your choice.

Oh, wow. So like, all the way the other way. Right, okay. All the way the other way. Right, okay. All the way the other way. Hey, is it right if I snuggle in close? Are you granting me consent

to put my arm around you? Consent granted. Permission granted. Thank you. Would you like some bread? It's, um... Celiac. It's celiac bread.

It's gluten free. Gluten freeiac bread. It's gluten-free. I would. I would like some. I'm not gluten-free personally. I am a raving vegan. I have pistachio nuts. I've got an allergy. There's a lot that could be covered in this.

There's a lot in the new version. But yeah, the new version is going to be a bit less. So have they done it or are they working on it? They're working on it. It hasn't been released yet. Okay. They've just announced that it will be released just another drink

well 54 just another drink she's on board now 54 days away from Christmas too uh ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast
