ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Good morning.
I'm just untangling my headphones.
We'll wait.
These were really quite tangled.
I don't know how they got this tangled.
I think I shoved them in my bag like with ecstatic joy on Friday.
On Friday because you just, I'm out of here.
GTF out of here.
I'll deal with this tangle on Monday.
And here we are on Monday.
All waiting for you to untangle.
Wait a minute, I'm just going to plug them in.
Plug them in.
Now I put them on my head and... Hey, he's here. I just got to plug them in. Plug them in. Now I put them on my head.
And... Hey!
He's here.
I'm part of the show.
I mean, we could hear you just fine.
It made no difference to us.
Well, I couldn't hear myself, and that's the most important part.
Just why we're all here, right?
Yeah.
I've just realised it sounds...
I've gone for a hat today.
Yeah.
Rather than a beanie.
And the beanie, of course, covers my ears.
So you sound a bit louder.
I'm coming through
in crisp Dolby 5.1
in my own ears this morning
and it sounds great.
That's a great indication
that summer's on its way.
When Vaughn does
the switcheroonie of the hat.
Seasonal change.
Like when you swap your duvet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I reckon
six weeks into spring
is where I start wearing
jeans with chandles. Yeah. And then when reckon six weeks into spring is where I start wearing jeans with jandals.
Yep.
And then when summer hits, it'll be time for shorts and jandals.
Does this mean now we're two weeks away from daylight savings?
Yes, it does.
So not this Sunday, next Sunday.
Correct.
Oh my God.
Exciting.
Exciting, but awful for people to get up early because it's going to feel like an hour earlier.
Oh yeah.
Just for a few days.
Everybody listening right now.
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's story time.
There is a giant hair on my control panel.
Look at that.
Yuck.
Oh, it's a dark one.
Is it?
Yeah.
Whose would that be?
Bree's.
No, she's not on the site.
I know, but it's not Clint's, is it?
People work here at the weekend, Megan.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Many people.
Many people.
All right.
Okay.
Three news headlines for three stories that are found online.
Interesting, unusual, quirky news stories.
Headline one, women's first strike.
Headline two, $'s first strike. Headline two,
$5 million Airbnb trashed.
And headline three,
Indonesian province bans men and women from eating together
to make women more well-behaved.
That's a bloody long headline,
isn't it?
It is.
Is it also fairly self-explanatory,
that headline?
I'd say so, yeah.
Right.
Okay.
I have been looking for new and better ways to make my wife behave herself.
Okay.
I dare you to say that at 8.30.
The traditional ways just not working anymore.
Oh, frustrating.
One.
Story one, woman's first strike.
Yes, go on. All right, we go now. One Story one Woman's first strike Yes Go on
Alright
We go now
I like to hear about a woman
That's not you know
Too far beyond
You know
Saving
Saving
Right okay
We go to Virginia now
What
You know
But
You want to be able to
You know
Save them from themselves
Oh Christ
Okay We go to I'm not even entertaining that comment We go now to You want to be able to, you know, save them from themselves. Oh, Christ.
Okay, we go to... I'm not even entertaining that comment.
We go now to Virginia.
Virginia State Police responded to a single vehicle crash into a building.
That building was a 10-pin bowling alley where a woman got her first strike.
Oh, nice. alley where a woman got her first strike. Nice. Because she
crashed through the
wall of
the bowling alley, went straight
down the lane and crashed into the bowling
bit at the end where you get your balls
from.
Wow, she really bowled in.
Clearing out all the pins.
She really
wow.
This doesn't look like there's a huge amount of damage to the car, though.
Amazingly.
No, it's pretty.
And like a clean hole as well at the front.
Straight down.
No need for the gutter ball.
Yeah, no, no.
No need for the side rails or anything like that.
So yeah, that's her first strike.
How are people so, like, so she went through a wall and panicked and put her foot down.
So apparently the initial investigation has revealed that the 20-year-old
was reversing from a parking spot and put her car in drive.
And hit a parked car, so she panicked, hit the accelerator
and veered through the grass before driving
into the Tempin bowling alley,
through the wall and down the lane,
coming to rest.
That's quite far.
She had a lot of time to break.
Yeah, I know.
That's the thing.
You're either that sort of person or you're not.
You know those people that panic
and they just like, just spasm
and their body just,
just like slams it on the accelerator.
Yeah.
Also she's 20 and driving quite a nice car.
That's upsetting.
It's probably mum or dad's car.
Well, she's not anymore.
Yeah, right.
She's not anymore.
It's stuck in that machine that re-does the pins.
Because, you know, sometimes you have to wait ages
for your ball to come back.
She's probably waiting for her car to come back.
Imagine if someone had just bowled in that lane
and, you know, when that barrier thing comes down
and sometimes you bowl
another ball
and it hits the barrier.
Yeah.
Then she comes through
in the car
and clears everything out
all together.
F.E.M.
Went to a Moda 10 Mega
on the weekend.
Great place for a shop.
Lovely.
The one place you like shopping.
The one place I like shopping.
Were there any
big hardware store?
Bunnings is the same.
Too overwhelming.
You're like trying to find
one tiny little thing in this huge warehouse.
That's why you can't be in a hurry.
I know.
I love it.
And you see all this stuff you didn't know you even needed.
It must be like what it's like going to Kmart.
Like what?
Like, oh, look at that fancy screw.
Yeah.
No, it's not like things for your house.
You see all kinds of stuff.
You're like, oh, my God, I could totally use that.
What, like a cleaner?
That would be handy.
I need examples.
I don't know.
It's hard because it's all stuff that you don't know you needed.
It's weird.
Until you see it.
Until you see it.
That'd be good.
That'd be good.
Yeah, I guess it is like Kmart.
That's me and Kmart.
That's you and Kmart.
Because, so we went there at the weekend and my wife knows she has to keep me on track
when we go there.
But I put the kids in the playground even though it's like, please supervise your children.
I'm like, they're okay. And I always like please supervise your children I'm like they're okay
and I always just
put them in there
I'm like
they're very sensible
so I have said that
to a family
as I walked away
and they looked at me like
you're abandoning your children
I was like
they're very sensible
you can't even leave
any of those
like Mitre 10
or Bunnings
without a receipt
and like showing them
everything in your pockets
I doubt you could just
take two children
oh yeah
who's those?
They'll be screaming and stuff on the way out too.
That's not my dad.
Puppies you say? What kind?
So
we were on like
it was paint and plants. That's what we were
there for. Okay yeah. And
I went and got the plants
real quick. I was like
I know what I want. I want some little grasses. Walked out there. Quick chat to this guy. I'm like, I know what I want. I want some little grasses.
Walked out there, quick chat to this guy.
I'm like, this is how many I want.
Sweet, done.
In the thing.
See, because I could like spend time in the plant area.
Be like, oh, look at this pretty one.
If I had some time spare, I was going to.
Okay.
But I knew I had to just get what I had to get done real quick
because I wanted to spend some time.
Maximise time and shop.
So then I run to the paint guy
and I'm like,
one letter of half silver shell,
it's resin.
And he's like, gotcha.
And I'm like, mix it, buddy.
And he's like,
and I was like grabbing what we needed
for the painting.
This of course is to fill all the holes
that you've made.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Trying to put your TV up.
To patch the holes that I made
hanging the TV.
So then it's all in the trolley
and I'm like,
oh yes,
I've got like 10 minutes
to spare.
And I start like,
just then I get my stride on.
I'm just walking down aisles,
looking at things like,
oh, what's this thing?
Ah,
I hadn't even thought
I needed one of those.
Great idea.
Oh, yep.
One day, buddy,
that's me and you.
Just walking around,
pointing at stuff,
thinking about it,
heading back to the plants
as you say,
got a bit of time now.
I can see what plants
are out there.
Pots I'm big on.
Yeah.
Love looking at all the massive ass pots.
And you're like, I could have that.
Oh, $380.
No, not today.
You're like, ha-ha, you're huge.
Where would I put you?
I want you.
I want you.
You'll be mine one day.
And walking around and I successfully like shook my tail.
Or, you know, if I was a criminal, Sade would be the police.
So I shook her and I was just like out there.
I was free.
And then she found me and she's like, we've got to go.
We've mucked around.
We're running late.
And this guy working out in the garden section,
the guy that I actually talked to about the grasses,
who offered me some stellar advice,
he put his hand on my shoulder and was like,
it's all right, mate, you can come back later.
And I was like, I know, but when?
And he was like, I don't know,
but maybe next time we come back by ourselves.
I was like, I know, better when you're by yourself. And he was like, oh, no. Better when you're by yourself.
And he was like, you did good today.
I was like, thank you.
Stomped off.
He sees your kind.
He sees our kind a lot.
A lot.
Because normally she waits in the car though, doesn't she?
Sometimes she waits in the car.
Yeah.
Yeah, but she wanted to come in to make sure I got the right grasses.
And she'd want to wait
in the car forever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So she did.
But it was just,
it was so nice.
That's right, mate.
You can come back later.
Here's another one
of those dream job scenarios.
It's not a chocolate taster,
but I'd say this is
the next best thing.
You will be paid
$20 an hour to watch TV.
Do this.
How much?
$20 an hour?
I've already earned $20 today.
At the gym?
Yeah.
You've already watched an hour.
Maybe even a bit more.
Okay.
Watch the new Iron Fist, the first episode in a bit of Iron Fist.
$20?
Just like that.
Ta-da.
I was going to say every night.
What?
You could be earning $, 40, 60 dollars.
You could do that as well as your full-time job.
Okay.
Because we all do it anyway.
So starting in October,
a company is hiring someone to watch TV.
So basically you're watching live streaming platforms.
They want a professional couch potato.
This is what the ad reads.
Yeah.
And they'll be paid $2,000 to watch 100 hours of TV.
So the logins and the subscriptions for these platforms are included too.
So if you don't have it already, they'll just pay for it.
Sweet. So the only downfall that I can see is that you have to keep detailed notes.
So are you reviewing the shows?
So you're reviewing the platforms,
the live streaming platforms,
and saying whether it's a high-quality situation,
like is it easy to use, that kind of thing.
Is this better than Netflix?
Yeah.
That kind of thing.
So they're using DirecTV now, Fubu TV, Hulu,
like all these ones that we probably don't have in New Zealand.
YouTube TV, Sling TV.
But all the good shows I've heard get picked up by...
Yeah. Is it Hulu that did
Handmade Sale? Or M...
Yeah, Hulu. So Lightbox got that
here. Yeah. But
that's the thing, you have to take detailed notes and
then give feedback and do a presentation
and stuff and it's like, oh.
You know, you just want to watch it and not have to worry about it.
That job was really easy until you said that bit, Megan.
Like any job.
Did you hand in your notes and be like, is that all you wrote?
You're like, yeah.
No, I've got the way of doing it.
How?
So we each do one hour's work,
but then submit the other person's stuff as well,
but we shift F7 a whole lot of words
and change them in the thesaurus.
Yes.
And so it comes across as different.
Good call.
But the same.
Good call.
And then we profit three times for minimal work.
Because it's not like they're going to ping you for plagiarism.
No, that's true.
It's not university.
They're like, you guys think pretty much the same
on all levels though.
Yeah.
Your review's pretty much the same.
Isn't that how they used to get those
Netflix reviews? That have
people reviewing the shows? Yeah.
And then they had that stupid star
rating and didn't they get rid of that
recently? Because it was a bit
all over the show. It was out of five stars.
Yeah, you'd see something really rubbish and it was
like five stars. I know, I always
IMDB or Google. But it wasn't five stars as in like a flat rating. It was five stars compared to what you'd see something really rubbish and it was like five stars. I know. I always IMDB or Google.
But it wasn't five stars as in like a flat rating.
It was five stars compared to what you'd watched in its entirety.
Right.
So if you'd watched something from start to end that other people that had watched it
didn't enjoy that, it was like, hey, you like shit house things.
I know.
Do you get offended when it's like recommended for you and you're like, um.
96% enjoy this, that looks
crap.
I can name two
NFL players. Tom
Brady. Tom Brady because he's like
with Giselle, right?
And he's like one of the most famous
right? Yeah, you always hear about Tom Brady.
Do they call him the goat?
I don't even know why. Greatest of all time.
Oh, is that what it stands for? I know.
Look it up a while ago. Someone was calling someone a goat.
I'm like, that's not very nice. I know.
It was like, rude. Greatest of all time, yeah.
Who's the other one?
And Colin Kaepernick. Yes.
Because he started the
whole kneeling for the
national anthem, which infuriated Donald Trump
because he's like, yeah, you're going to stand for our flag.
Except that was his protest.
So there was a whole bunch of NFL players
that started kneeling,
but then he was the one who kept on going,
even though he lost his contract, right,
for the NFL.
Doesn't play for them anymore.
And now Nike have made a pretty epic ad with him.
He voiceovers it.
It's an awesome ad.
And then at the end,
I think the catchphrase is something along the lines of,
believe in something,
even if it means sacrificing everything.
Yeah.
So lots of people are very upset at this ad.
Trump supporters burning their Nikes.
I've seen videos online,
like people stoking up a huge outside fire
and chucking on like five pairs
it's like what are you doing you've already bought them you know they've got your money
yeah it's not affecting anyone but you now because you've lost it you're just gonna have to go buy
new shoes yeah but um despite the controversy with the ad nike sales are up 31% on the same time last year. Wow, so
it hasn't hurt them. No.
31%. That's an insane amount.
It's because you've got to think, even for a
business, like
to
I guess put out
that many people, like Trump
supporters. It's a lot. It's nearly half the
country. It's like 49% of people support
him.
They have pretty much said, because they've done the stats,
they've got a target audience, and they've pretty much said
Trump supporters fall outside of that.
So they don't care about him?
No.
They're just not at all worried, and by the sounds of it,
they don't need to be.
I imagine Trump supporters wear like real dad jeans,
not cool dad jeans.
Yeah.
Dad jeans and snein.
You ever talk about sneins? Yeah, sneins. Sne cool dad jeans. Yeah. Dad jeans and snee. You ever talk about snee?
You've got a snee combo.
Snee.
And just like sneakers from Walmart.
What is the dad shoe of choice at the moment?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Maybe an old Asics runner.
An Asics runner.
Yeah, maybe.
Whatever's on special.
New Balance?
Old New Balances?
No, New Balances.
Oh, maybe old, old ones. Old New Balances? No, New Balances. Oh, maybe Old Old Ones.
Old New Balances.
Old Old Ones, yeah.
But yeah, it's because companies don't like to get political, do they?
So it's quite a big thing.
It's quite a statement from them.
Well, it's a stand against the NFL as well
because the whole thing is he's saying that since this happened,
it's not that he hasn't been good enough.
It's literally he's been blacklisted because of a political stand.
And so Nike's kind of standing up to the NFL as well,
which is pretty massive because that's a huge industry.
And a lot of Nike-sponsored athletes play in the NFL.
And Donald Trump had said that they were getting absolutely killed
with anger and boycotts.
But I think Nike's now going, ha, ha, ha.
31% rise in sales.
I wouldn't be like Donald Trump to just say something and hope it was real.
Throw some stats out there.
Yeah.
Make up some facts.
The Top Six with Vaughn Smith.
Rodney Roper of Riverhead.
Yes, that's three R's.
And he also sounds like a superhero's alias, eh?
It does, yeah.
Rodney Roper.
Otherwise known as the...
He sounds like the bad guy.
Yeah, he might be a villain, actually.
He might be a villain.
Well, here's a 2011 Holden Commodore Omega,
and it's all stickered up like a Victorian police car
from, like, Melbourne.
Like Blue Helos.
Yeah, yeah, it looks...
You see it.
Did your mum ever watch Blue Helos?
Bloody loved it.
Loved it, eh?
My mum was more of a flying doctor's lady
if we're talking Outback Australian TV shows.
And my dad thought McLeod's daughters was bloody stupid
because Osh would have shut the farm down with that many accidents.
They would have had a Victorian police car.
Was that Victoria?
I don't know.
But then even a horrible comparison,
but I just saw photos of the police outside that house in Perth
where something's happened,
and it's the same sort of car there.
Yeah, they have all similar markings, don't they?
Yeah, but just different stickers on the door, different badges.
So he sticked up his car to look exactly like a police car,
minus the lights.
He spent $3,000 buying custom-made reflective vinyl markings
from a sign marker to put on a former New Zealand police car
to make it look like an Australian one.
Right.
Security guard, previously turned down for police college,
you know, due to injuries and stuff.
But he says he's always liked, you know,
the idea of the police and being in the police.
So, yeah, he got this.
I'll stick it up.
Then put a photo up online saying, look at this beauty.
And then the police came around to his house.
I'm like, jeez.
Rodney, pull it all off, mate.
You got to at least pull the part that says place off.
I was going to say, is that impersonating a police officer?
That's the problem.
Right.
That's the problem.
Because it does say place on it.
So the top six other cars, other vehicles that would be better.
Imitation vehicles.
Number six, a imitation Mr. Whoopie.
Get this.
Hot summer's day. Yeah. You hear the Mr. Whoopie. Get this. Hot summer's day.
Yeah.
You hear the Mr. Whoopie siren.
Yeah.
Never stop.
Break hearts.
Never stop.
That's awful.
Never stop.
But here's the good part about it.
Kids chase you,
which is good
because then they get some exercise
and then there's no like sugary treat at the end.
Obesity problem solved.
Could you just rig the whole thing up with cameras
and just make a montage of all the heartbreak faces
as you drive past?
That would be pretty.
That's evil.
Oh, it is, it is.
And have a record for who would chase you the longest.
Yeah.
Number five on the list of the top six imitation vehicles
that would be a better idea than a police car,
a public bus.
Just drive past, never start a hula. A public bus. Just drove past,
never started a hula waving.
You're just like,
whoa.
Straight past it.
Then you're,
I was waiting
at the stop 6174 today
and it just drove right past me.
It drove right past me.
You could park in a bus stop
and just go to work.
How do you use a bus lane?
Oh my God.
Just went out of service
and we're onto something.
Yeah, we might be onto something. Maybe. Mind you, I don't think it's cheap to run a bus lane. Oh, my God. Just went out of service and... Yeah. Yeah. We onto something? Yeah, we might be onto something.
Maybe.
I mind you, I don't think it's cheap to run a bus.
No, true.
A lot of petrol.
Yeah.
And I've never seen one on like the Z4 court.
You know what?
You know what you could do, though?
You could charge, because you've got all that room, you could charge people and give them
a ride to work.
Yeah, but then you're kind of just a bus.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, true.
Okay. And then you've got to get like passenger licenses and stuff. Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah, true. Oh, yeah, true.
And then you've got to get like passenger licenses
and stuff.
Oh, yeah, okay, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, sounds like hard work though.
Doesn't it?
Number four on the list
of the top six imitation vehicles
that would be a better idea
than a police car,
a tradie van.
Because someone somewhere
is waiting for a tradie
to turn up
that said they'd be there
between the hours of nine
and 2024.
And that'll really get the blood racing when they see a plumber pull into the driveway.
No, they've left again.
That's heartbreak.
Number three on the list of the top six imitation vehicles would be a better idea than a police officer.
An ambulance.
Because you get to skip that traffic with blaring sirens, but you're not impersonating a police officer.
Is there a law against impersonating a police officer.
Is there a law against impersonating an ambulance?
An ambulance.
As long as you're not going to emergencies.
So you turn up, you're like, got no gear, sorry.
Or like you're just waiting at the lights and someone's like, help! They're like, fuel, you're here!
My wife's over here!
And you're like, uh-oh.
It's Spaghetti-O.
What's wrong with her?
She, well, I don't know.
You're the ambulance driver?
Yep.
Oh, I'll just radio for backup and go park around the corner.
Bye.
It would be like being on a plane having a doctorate in sociology or something.
And you're like, help, this woman's having a heart attack.
You're like, oh, well, I could tell you about, you know, third wave feminism.
Represented through Western Europe, you're like, oh, well, I could tell you about, you know, third wave feminism represented through Western Europe,
if you lie.
That's not going to
save her life, doctor.
Number two on the list
of the top six vehicles
to imitate that would be
a better idea than a police car,
a rubbish truck.
And you drive around
early in the morning
on rubbish day
and people just freak out
and like run out
with their rubbish.
Or go on the day
that it's not their rubbish day.
Yeah, and they were like,
is that the rubbish truck?
Have we changed rubbish days?
We didn't get a flyer about this.
You're going to do something stupid like this when you get fired.
Oh, yeah.
I have some time to do that.
Notice how I said we're not it.
Yeah, you're not it.
Yeah, matter of time.
I'll find out where the people that fire me live and I'll go and do this to them.
Yeah, drive a time. I'll find out where the people that fire me live and I'll go and do this to them. Yeah, drive a rubber truck.
And the number one on today's top six of vehicles to imitate
that would be a better idea than a police car, a courier van.
Imagine pulling into driveways, beeping the horn,
and they're like, oh, my God, I've got something.
Courier's here.
I can't remember what I've got.
And then just backing out and driving away.
Wait, I didn't even come in.
Oh, my God. I bet there's a call-to card in the bloody letterbox. He didn't even come in. Oh, my God.
I bet there's a call-to card in the bloody letterbox.
They didn't even attempt to knock on the door.
Go out there and nothing's there.
They just drove up.
What?
I'm just, I'm waiting for the, full meltdown.
Full meltdown.
That is today's top six.
So a study's been done to look into sleeping habits.
A mattress producer did this survey. And been done to look into sleeping habits.
A mattress producer did this survey.
You refuse to say who it is.
No, I just don't know.
I just don't know of the brand.
It's not like a big one like we have here.
And they have found, and this is what I found interesting,
they have found that millennials, 65% of millennials sleep in the nude.
Do you... Because I, for a long time, I've been a nude sleeper.
Is this the nudist generation on record?
Well, yeah, because the baby boomers wouldn't have slept nude, would they?
40% of baby boomer parents say they sleep in the nude.
So it is a lot...
It's a lot less than sleep naked. Are we talking winter? Because in winter, I've got to it is a lot, it's a lot less.
But.
Sleep naked.
Are we talking winter?
Because in winter I've got to wear jammies.
Yeah, right.
No, but I can't.
I can't because I've got a really good duvet.
I get too hot.
Oh, right.
They say it's better for you, right?
Yeah. Because your body can regulate its own temperature and stuff.
No, because to me you're comparing sleeping nude to sleeping in a full-blown Marino burka.
Like there's no need.
Like just a pair of boxes.
The briefest of briefs.
But it keeps you covered should one need to evacuate the house.
Here's a little side finding from the study that those that did sleep nude reported that they had more sex than those that don't.
Do you think it's just because your bits are flopping around and things can happen
because of that? Less of a barrier.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe. But that was a side
finding. I've never had the excuse, I can't be bothered
pulling off this bit of cotton.
That correlation doesn't equal
causation in this. Right. I don't think so.
Maybe you need to try it. No, but maybe if you were
naked, it would be like, ayo. I've seen me naked. I don't think so. Maybe you need to try it. No, but maybe if you were naked, it would be like,
ayo.
Could we do it?
Could we do it?
I've seen me naked.
I don't think that's an ayo moment.
Can we do a snap,
like just a little snap of the room?
In summer, yes.
In winter, no.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I can't wear jammies.
So I'm year round born?
No, I'm year round clothed.
I'm a never nude.
Okay.
Producer Caitlin?
Full clothes, like flannelette pyjamas in the winter.
Do you not get too hot?
No, it's snuggly.
Really?
I've never in my life, I don't think,
apart from when I'm wearing like a tank top and my boobs flop out,
that's the only time that I wear naked, that I'm like naked in bed.
Right.
Always wear clothes.
When your boobs make a prison break. Right. Always wear clothes.
When your boobs make a prison break.
Yeah.
It happens all the time with singlets.
I used to be like boxes and T-shirt in winter and then no T-shirt in summer,
but now I can't, it's weird.
Right.
But you've probably got a hot young thing
keeping you warm like a hot human water bottle.
James, producer James.
I normally go on the top half, but bottom half. Donald Duck.
That's right, you're Donald Duck and Winnie the Pooh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Full Winnie the Pooh.
Anya? All year
round, long sleeve, top
and just undies on the bottom.
Long sleeve, even in summer? Even in summer.
What are you worried about getting sunburned?
And wearing a rashie to bed.
Shark and fry. You're taking this ginger thing
way too seriously.
I don't know, man.
That UV light off the moon can be quite hard.
So that's what I mean.
I was quite surprised by this study to find that 65% of millennials are sleeping in the nude.
Because you're the only full-time nudie. Out of all of us.
This is what I wanted to ask.
Has there ever been a downside to sleeping nude like because i had a friend who
would not sleep nude and would always have clothes by the bed ready in case it was an emergency
like that's how paranoid they were about like earthquakes and stuff wow okay oh right yeah
yeah okay and just emergencies right someone knocking on the door or something well i i
we used to sleep in a three-piece suit, just in case I went to a formal occasion.
Or a job interview.
Or a business meeting, yeah.
But how often have you ever had to jump up at night
and do something that would require you going outside?
I don't know.
Like, you know, you might have to go to the bathroom
in the middle of the night,
and if you sleep naked, maybe there's, you know,
there's been an accident.
So I thought maybe this morning we could take some calls
of when there has been
a downside to sleeping in the nude.
I don't know, maybe the cat's
attacked. Maybe
there's been an accident. I don't know.
Or maybe something happened, like, I don't know,
something outside
and you were in the nude or I don't know.
Or even just, I'm thinking you and I don't have
flatties, but if you sleep naked
and you had flatties,
do you have to get dressed to go to the bathroom?
Well, you get locked out.
Because what if you meet them in the hallway at night?
That's true, you just scooch.
Yeah.
Do that quick run you do.
Or do you know people that kind of sleepwalk
or get disorientated when they're in a hotel
and they sleep naked?
And then all of a sudden-
They're out in the hallway and the door's shut behind them.
And they're like,
oh, now I'm going to have to go down to reception and get a key card.
Oh, my God.
That would be the worst.
So, 0800-DARZATM9696, has there ever been a downside to you sleeping naked?
So, a study has shown that two-thirds of millennials sleep in the nude.
Sixty-five percent.
Getting good at maths.
So, we want to know the downsides to sleeping naked.
If you are one of these millennials who likes to sleep in the nude.
Good morning, Holly.
Good morning.
How are you?
Good.
So what was the downside?
So I lived out in Manurewa and I used to sleep naked when I was like much younger.
And my car got stolen.
I heard it start up and drive away and I couldn't do anything about it.
Because you were naked.
Yep.
So is that why you said, I used to?
Is that why you now sleep with clothes?
Yeah, pretty much.
It sucks when, you know, like, your prized position is being stolen,
and you're just, like, fighting with yourself in your head.
Like, what do I do?
But even if you were clothes, were you going to, like, chase down the street?
Yeah, you shouldn't chase a guy.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, okay, you were going to.
I probably would have at least put some undies on
and given chase.
But see, if you're willing to chase them clothed,
imagine how freaked out they'd be
if you started chasing them nude.
Yeah.
And then, like, jumped on the windscreen
and your boobies and your fanny butts
are all, like, pushed up against the windscreen
because you've never smushed your face against the windscreen,
against the window, imagine doing that with your genitals and stuff.
They'd be like, have it back.
They'd turn on the windscreen wiper to try to get you off.
But you're not going to get, you're going to get down the road like 200 metres
and all of a sudden they've driven off and it's the dead of night
and you're naked walking down the street.
With a windscreen wiper.
With a windscreen wiper, yep.
Alright,
Holly, thanks for your call. Natalia?
Yeah?
What's the downside of sleeping nude?
My mum has a rare disease
and her leg spasms
in the middle of the night. Okay.
And when it happens, it has to be ice.
Well, one day she let out this
deathly scream
and I instinctively leaped out of bed,
raced to the freezer, grabbed the bag of ice,
raced back to mum, started icing her leg
and then realised I was still naked.
Oh, no.
Was she naked?
Sorry?
Was she naked?
No.
Thankfully, she had a dressing gown on.
Okay, okay.
Could have been worse.
Could have been worse. Could have been worse.
Like the statistics say, only 40% of baby boomers sleeping nude.
Right, yeah.
At least, yeah.
Saved there.
Thanks for calling, Natalia.
Some text messages.
I'm a legit daredevil.
I used to be in a flat with six people.
The bathroom was across the room but off a hallway.
Yeah.
I would sleep naked, then get up for a shower
and just bolt it to the bathroom.
I was never caught because nobody woke up before 10 a.m. on weekends
and I got up at 5.30 on the weekdays.
Oh, yeah.
My partner would always tell me off.
Be like, put a towel around yourself at least.
Just.
It takes two seconds to like put a towel around,
but it's the thrill of the like, am I going to get away with it?
It is.
It's the primal thrill.
Yeah.
We live too safe a life
and every now and then you just need to run
somewhere a little bit nudie. It says
I'm the nudist over here.
A lady I worked
with reads this text message. Her house
caught on fire and she slept
nude. She had to climb out the window
to a crowd gathered outside.
So she went out
backwards out the window and showed everybody the whole situation.
You never even thought about that.
Climbing backwards out a window is freaky
because you don't know,
you can't see where your feet are going.
You know when you're dangling and you're like,
how far away from the ground am I?
But how bad was this fire?
Like, was it at the door?
Well, so bad, apparently couldn't get out the...
Oh, right.
Couldn't get out the hallway.
Okay, so you don't want to be mucking around putting on clothes.
Somebody said, I'm a nude sleeper,
and one night I thought my partner was just in the lounge
listening to music too loud,
so I walked out to give him an earful,
but when I got in there,
I realised that him and five of his mates
had just come in from a night drinking.
And there I was standing naked screaming
until I opened my eyes properly
and adjusted to the extreme light
and there was a whole lot of them there.
That'll do it.
And so many people saying
just the Christchurch earthquakes
changed their naked sleeping habits.
Wow, so they don't...
Because they were used to an evac.
So they don't sleep naked at all now.
And haven't gone back to sleeping naked.
Wow, okay.
No.
Somebody... and haven't gone back to sleeping naked. Wow, okay. No. Somebody, somebody...
You want to share this with the group?
Somebody said they had to tell their partner
that it was time that they start sleeping with clothes on
because they would do big farts in the night
and then throughout the night
get little skid marks on the sheets.
Oh, did you hear that one?
Oh, you didn't need to say...
You told me I had to share with the group.
It made me laugh.
I can't believe that tickled you that much.
It was just the fart sound of a beer bum in the bed that got me going.
And then the skid marks, I just think skid marks are funny.
At the weekend, we went around to some friend's place.
And we've not been to their house before, to their new house.
So we had their number, 23.
And so there was confusion because initially they messaged us 24.
I was like, and then they were like, wait a minute, that's not our number, 23.
Do they know where they live?
Well, they do now.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we went round 23, parked outside, not too far from our house, in our neighbourhood,
and parked up outside 23.
And when, oh yeah, nice place, walked up, knocked on the door.
I was like, I didn't know they owned that car.
But everybody's got multiple cars these days, don't they?
You don't know everything about everyone.
Yeah.
And so I said, when we were getting closer,
Indy was like, can I knock on the door?
I was like, yeah, go up and bang on the door.
And she went up and knock, knock, knock.
No one answered.
I was like, weird.
And I kind of could hear someone walking.
I was like, oh, they just can't hear.
Bang, bang, bang, knock, knock, knock. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, like, weird. And I kind of could hear someone walking. I was like, oh, they just can't hear. Bang, bang, bang, knock, knock, knock.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
And I could hear someone.
And then it went still.
It's like when someone knocks on my door.
Yeah, you're like, whoa, is that the courier?
Yeah, I don't have the ability for it
because I live in an apartment block.
So people wouldn't,
if someone knocked on my door,
I'd be really freaked out.
Oh yeah, because that means that they,
they need to tell you something specifically. Yeah, no, I know I wouldn't, if someone knocked on my door, I'd be really freaked out. Oh yeah, because that means that they, they need to tell you
something specifically.
Yeah,
no,
I know I wouldn't answer it.
If I lived on a street
where someone could walk up
to my door,
I wouldn't answer it.
No.
Unless you knew them.
Yeah.
And they had invited us over.
It wasn't like we'd done that thing.
Oh yeah,
true.
Does anybody do that thing?
My parents every now and then
used to be like,
let's go for a drive.
And we'd go for a drive
and just,
without any announcement,
just call in and see some of their friends.
Oh, you can't do that.
You don't do that anymore, eh?
Nah.
Because that was the day before.
They'd be out driving and they'd be like,
the Valsers, they were a shocker.
We'd just pull into their house all the time.
The Valsers?
The Valsers.
That was their name.
Their last name is Valser.
Vals.
Like A-E-I-O-U.
Vals.
Yeah, yeah, like the Vals.
Oh, okay.
They've got trucks everywhere. Right, okay. No, yeah, like the vowels. Oh, okay. They've got trucks everywhere.
Right, okay.
No, I don't know, but fine, okay.
If someone's stuck behind one of their trucks right now,
let's then be like, this is a weird coincidence.
Well, you're about to die.
That's Final Destination.
But we're just calling them.
Even as a kid, I remember thinking,
should we have called ahead?
Yeah.
We're from a family of nudists.
You don't just call in.
You don't just rock up to the sellers' place
Nah
You're going to see some things
I think your family friends learnt that the hard way
When they saw Warren's dong
Weird that your parents always like to live on a hill
Even though they know to just really walk out
And give a stretch to the neighbourhood
Yeah
Yeah, because you're a high advantage point
So it wasn't like we just called in and announced
We'd been invited around
Yeah, so you're still knocking
So I'm not knocking
I'm like, wait, they've quiet? And I said to Shadow,
I was like, are we early? Are we late?
Have they decided we're not welcome anymore?
And I said, it was 23.
And I looked at my messages and it said 23 in the street
they live on. So I was like,
this is 23 and I put it into Google Maps.
And that's when it was like
800 metres from destination.
I was like, where are we?
So the street they live on turns into another street.
Oh, right.
And we're at the wrong end of the street.
At a different street completely.
So then I'm like banging on this person's door
and I turn to the kids.
I'm like, kids, you run for the car.
Run to the car and stop when you get to the car.
And then Shadow's like, what's wrong?
I was like, we've got the wrong house.
And I just lean against the door and I'm like, I'm sorry about this.
Sorry if I've scared anybody.
We're in the wrong house.
It's our first time in our friend's house.
See you later, bye.
Enjoy the rugby.
All the Warriors.
I don't know what one you're watching.
What, had they, do you think, had they like chosen to ignore you
and were calling the police?
I don't know.
But we had kids and stuff.
So I don't know many gang enforcers that take kids to do their enforcing
or that look like me.
Yeah.
Who was in charge of the address?
You or Sade?
It was like a joint effort.
But it was my fault.
I said that was my bad.
Because I just was like, oh, well, I know what street that is.
As long as we've got the right number.
I did not know what street it was.
You did not know.
We got there in the end.
We kept peering down to see if the police were at their house or not or anything.
I think I just, you know, freaked them out.
Kept them on their toes.
Well, at least you didn't wander in.
They honestly, like the way we, nah, because I wasn't dressed like, you know, the Mormons and stuff.
They're always dressed, they've always got a tie on.
They always look like they're going somewhere like church,
which is ironic because that's not where they're going though,
coming to tell you about it.
But I didn't look like I was door knocking for any,
or trying to get them to change power companies or anything.
By the way, I'm not changing to a power company that still does door knocking.
Rude.
Very rude and annoying.
Always at dinner time.
Contact me via personalised Facebook advertising, please,
like everybody else does.
Now, on Friday, we played a Friday flashback.
We played Pink, just like a pill, didn't we?
And that was your pick, Fletch.
It was.
And it had the added bonus of Megan saying that was her emotional teen song.
It was her jam.
It was her jam.
Clean toilets at a bar restaurant.
Crank that in the headphones.
Think this isn't forever.
One day I'll run just as fast as I can.
To the middle of nowhere.
Something, something, something.
Frustrated fear and I swear.
So she said that and then we got talking about people's emotional teenage songs.
Just songs that really get the emotions going again. She said that and then we got talking about people's emotional teenage songs.
Just songs that really get the emotions going again.
You had The Weeknd.
Did you think of one, Fletch?
Yeah, you didn't tell us your one. No, I did actually think about it.
But I just always remember listening to like Nirvana Unplugged.
You know the MTV album?
Oh, yeah.
Like the famous album.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just that kind of like brooding rock kind of stuff.
Yeah, like 90s grunge.
90s grunge kind of, yeah.
Swill a couple of bourbons.
You lived in the Naki.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah, so I mean,
I managed to leave that behind,
but I guess that was it.
Then your mum would be like,
Carl, do you want to go to Marbles for a buffet?
You'd be like, yeah, all right, mum.
You sure don't want to put a smile on my face, mum.
I'll just finish this Woodstock bourbon and colour
and I'll be right down.
That was only special occasions, the Marbles buffet. But if you had a broken heart, I'll just finish this Woodstock bourbon in colour and I'll be right down. That was only special occasions, the Marbles Buffet.
But if you had a broken heart, I'm sure you'd make a special occasion.
And we heard from an intern.
Well, Caitlin, what was your Caitlin?
Yours was?
Kelly Clarkson.
Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.
Oh, that made me laugh.
Absolute jam.
And Anya, yours was Taylor Swift.
So we got to a minute.
Man, we heard from so many people who had fun looking back at their own teenage years
and having a giggle as well.
But have you got...
Are we going to play the actual song?
No?
No.
What?
This is Anya's song.
This is Anya's song.
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But we had a big chat about it and heard from heaps of people who said
we would think that it'd be a good bit.
A regular segment.
So we are now opening it
to a new segment called Mosh Mondays.
Mosh Mondays is where you can get in touch.
We're going to have like a registration form
because we picked the Friday flashbacks.
But Mosh Mondays is going to be in your hands.
You go to zmonline.com and register your song
and tell us a little story about why.
Where were you?
What was your time in the time of your life
that this song always reminds you of?
I feel like you've just said they can go there and register
and it's not set up yet.
No, because you've just came up with that idea, haven't you, Vaughn?
No, I said before.
Oh, what should they do then?
Message our Facebook page?
The web people haven't even got to work yet, Vaughan.
This is me furiously emailing Trin.
Saying, please do this.
But she's out there.
She'll be able to.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Now you've got to delete all that stuff you just furiously typed.
You just bash the people.
Did you accidentally open something?
No, I was trying to be cool and it was really lame.
Sorry, guys.
Sorry about that.
That's okay.
So we'll get the form up today, but otherwise you can message our Facebook page.
Yeah, message our Facebook page and tell us what the song is and we could be in touch.
Yeah, so every Monday we want to have a chat to somebody and play their most Monday song.
Yeah.
To get you going for the week.
That's what we need on the Monday.
Yeah, to get in touch
with our emotions.
Maybe cry it out on the way to work
or school or uni or whatever.
Yeah.
Just open up the floodgates.
And whether it's like this song
for Intern Anya
in the Marimba band
at the time.
Do you know,
I heard Lucy in the office,
her mum works at a school,
Marimba's still a thing.
I'm glad to hear
that it's still alive and thriving.
She went to like the Marimba Nationals
or something. Oh, shit dog.
Did you ever make it to the Nationals? Not quite.
No wonder it didn't go out with you. I wasn't even good at Marimba
as well. It feels
like that kind of instrument that they just give to
kids because they can't make it into anything
else. Well, they did that when everybody who was
capable did dance sport.
But I wasn't cool enough for that. What's dance sport?
It's like tangoing for like intermediate kids and like salsa and stuff.
So all the cool kids did that and the losers did marimba.
So here we are.
Okay.
You're our favourite loser.
I thought salsa and tango would have been a hard sell to intermediate kids.
That awkward time of your life where you go to a dance and boys and girls stand on
opposite sides of the hall for a while.
Nah, everyone wanted to just tango with each
other and hold each other's hips.
So is the tango the forbidden?
Yeah, forbidden dance.
Takes two to tango, that's the odds.
Yeah, true. Okay. Alright, well if you'd
like to send us a message on our Facebook page
FBMZM for Mosh Monday,
send it through and next Monday will be the launch for Mosh Monday. Send it through and next Monday
will be the launch
of Mosh Monday.
Oh, Mosh Monday
is we're going to have
one of those flash things,
one of those flash intros.
So it's like Mosh Monday.
Oh, we're going to make one of those too, Caitlin.
Put that in the email.
Yeah, another email.
Send another email to Al.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who makes those.
Come on, send it.
That was dumb.
I don't know why
I did that a second time.
If you missed it, I got my dad surprise pink tickets for Father's Day.
He is the biggest pink fan I know, and he's a blokey dude, so it's kind of funny.
He's quite literally the biggest pink fan I know.
Yeah.
He's huge.
Yeah.
Because how tall is he?
I don't know.
Is he taller than you, Bour he? I don't know. Is he taller than you, Bourne?
I don't know.
Probably similar height.
Because he'd be blocking some views.
Yeah.
Standing.
Yeah.
So he's actually staying with me at the moment, him and mum,
and we've had a countdown of how many sleeps to go.
It's one more sleep, just by the way.
Like an excited kid at Christmas.
He's very, very excited.
He's been watching YouTube videos of her live performances specifically.
He missed her birthday show.
They all sung happy birthday.
Oh, I know.
That would have been the one to be at.
I heard about this because he said, he was like, we should have gone.
It's a shame we couldn't have gone on that night because I'd love to have sung happy birthday to her.
Because the crowd sung happy birthday.
He wanted to join in.
All right, Dad.
Beggars can't be choosers.
God, he's the cutest.
He loves a whiskey and it turns out Soda's Pink because she went to a whiskey bar after her show.
Yeah.
And so he was like, oh, yeah, it would be great.
We could add a whiskey together.
I was like, you know, you can't just call her and be like,
catch up after the show.
But he's very, very excited.
But his latest debacle is that he needs something to wear.
So today we're going for a little bit of a shop around
because he said to me, what are you going to wear?
We have to wear something pink as a tribute.
So we're going shopping because he's quite stressed
about what he's going to wear.
Megan, now might be a good time to,
will he be listening now?
No, it's doubtful.
Okay.
I don't think, I haven't got a radio.
Now would be a good time
for Vaughn and I
to step in
and say that you don't need
to go shopping today
for your dad.
Bless.
Why?
Because we may have
organised a t-shirt for him.
Oh no.
He's just gonna love it.
What is it?
Is it bad?
He's gonna have to come in
tomorrow and get it though.
Yeah, he's gonna need to be.
Bless.
Because we do want to get some mileage out of this.
Like we want to take a photo and stuff.
Yeah.
So we've made him a pink t-shirt.
Yeah.
Okay.
We'll reveal it tomorrow when he comes in.
Okay.
But you just tell him to come in and just see the show or something.
I'll make up some excuse about why we can't go shopping.
Not only that, but tomorrow for those that are at the show, we have.
This was said on a whim.
I didn't know this was happening until just before I've seen it.
It is something else.
Now, you'll only be able to see this if you're at the Pink Show.
But, Megan, you'll be able to go and put this on our Instagram and Snapchat.
But we have made a special Snapchat filter. Oh, my God.
That will be available at the shows.
If you open up the Facebook chat, it's in there now.
Oh, my God.
It's got his picture on it.
It does, yeah.
It's one of those geo filters.
So people at the Pink Show, if they take a photo on Snapchat
and then scan across to their filters, we'll be like,
who's Wayne?
That's my dad.
Does he love pink?
So it's got a big picture
of him at the bottom.
It says,
Wayne loves pink
and a picture of your dad
in a heart.
Even though I was pretty keen
to have Warren written there
because I call him Warren
because it's not his name
and he hates it.
But we went with Wayne.
I'm going to have to explain
what Snapchat is
and take him through it.
I know, I know.
He is going to die.
We just thought how cute will it be if everyone there will be able to Snapchat and use that filter.
Please, if you're there, use this filter.
Oh, yeah.
We're asking several reminders over the next couple of days.
If you're going to Pink tomorrow night with Wayne, please use the filter at least once.
Because we've also paid for it.
And we want to get our mugs with the t-shirt we haven't made.
We've never had like a FVM one.
No, well, we've had like ZM ones.
Yeah, we use them all the time.
Well, my dad's had a Snapchat filter before I have.
True.
Oh, bless.
He deserves it though.
He's going to, I'm going to like take so many videos of him on my Insta and everything.
With the filter. Because I'm desperately hoping there'll be tears. I was going to say, many videos of him on my Instagram. With the filter.
Because I'm desperately hoping there'll be tears.
I was going to say, do you think he'll cry?
He may.
I have yet to ask him what his favourite song is.
I think it might be the one with Nate Roos from Fun.
Just give me a reason.
I think that's his favourite.
Does she do that?
Has she been doing that one?
I'm not sure.
Have you had a look at the set list online?
I'll ask him what he's most looking forward to.
What's that website that has set lists?
Setlist.fm.
That's self-explanatory. Yeah. Yeah, setlist.fm. That's self-explanatory.
Yeah, setlist.fm.
That is one of the greatest websites.
But then I like going to a concert and not knowing.
Yeah, true.
Because then you're like, it gets to the end and they're like,
I didn't play their big song.
I know, but then it avoids disappointment.
Then they go off stage and then they come back on and they're like,
encore, encore.
I was going to go and see someone recently.
I forget who it was.
And I looked at their set list in Australia and I was like,
oh, too much new stuff.
Not enough old stuff.
I'm not going.
Oh, you packed a bit of a hipster strop.
A hipster strop.
But yeah, it's a good website.
But you can kind of see.
And they do pretty much the same set list every night.
And that's also, maybe it's a good thing because sometimes,
you know, you need to go to the toilet and you need to know what song.
And it was good at the Killers because they did Mr. Brightside first.
Like, hello, what the hell?
Did they do it again at the end?
And then sometimes in the middle?
No.
And it's also good
because you can pick like
when a dud song's coming up.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
That's when you nick off to the toilet.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, well, yeah,
if you go to Pink tomorrow,
use the Snapchat filter,
but we'll get Wayne in tomorrow,
Megan's dad,
and we've got a little pink treat for him
and she does do that song
does she
I'll film it
he's gonna love it
he's gonna absolutely love it
I'm one of these people
that gets
suck it into all those things
that's like
watch this person lost
13 kgs
the one thing
that they changed
you're like
I'm into it
okay
what is it
a leg amputated
oh yeah
that'd give you a quick 15.
How much is it?
How heavy is a leg?
Oh, they differ.
Your ones would be quite light, eh?
The bottom half would be.
I think the top half would make up for them.
Well, I don't know.
It wouldn't be a fifth of your body, would it?
It'd be getting there, though.
But, well, it's quick weight loss.
Wouldn't it be 20?
If you're looking for quick weight loss. Nah, it wouldn't be. fifth of your body, would it? It'd begin there, though. But, well, it's quick weight loss. Wouldn't it be 20? If you're looking for quick weight loss.
Nah, 50.
Nah, it wouldn't be.
It would be, maybe if you're 100 kgs or over 100, it might be 20.
Okay.
Well, no, it's not cutting off a leg or anything.
Okay.
This has grown in popularity in the US,
but I'll start it by saying that experts have said
there is no scientific evidence to support this
and that it may in fact be harmful.
So just think about that in case this tickles your fancy.
But a couple have been drinking their own urine.
No, I'm out.
Oh, yuck.
No, I'd rather be fat.
And combined, they've lost 55 pounds and they feel energised.
And not enough.
Yeah, that's combined.
That's not enough.
That's like 10 kgs each.
24, yeah, 24.
24 kgs.
Nearly 25 kgs between them.
What's your secret?
Well, I've been drinking my own wheeze.
But apparently there's quite a following for this in the States.
It's called urine therapy,
and they think that it helps them stave off, like, illnesses
and clears your skin up as well.
Oh, so they're dabbing it on their skin as well.
Yeah.
That's disgusting.
And dripping it in their eyes.
So...
Easy.
Eyedrops.
It's sterile if you, like, do it straight away, right?
But sometimes it smells.
Yuck.
Oh, yuck.
Sometimes it's really yellow.
Just do what normal people do and just eat balanced, go to the gym or hit the pavement.
So, they believe that their urine contains compounds which can be reabsorbed to improve the body's ability to fight disease and provide detoxifying effects.
It's your body's waste.
Surely if they wanted anything from it, it would take it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'd have to be desperately dying of dehydration before I did that.
You say this, but people do do desperate things, you know, for beauty and to lose weight.
Yeah.
Well, like I said, I'm always one to click on it
but I drew the line there. Like, I'm not gonna try
that. If I don't wanna drink it, could I just
dab it a bit? You can dab it on
your face. Yuck, yuck.
Not in the morning because you're coming to work after that.
Just get some Clarisol from the supermarket.
But that's chemicals.
I don't know, get some
coconut oil
or something
rub wheeze on my face
because of chemicals
well yeah
good news for you champ
there's chemicals
in your wheeze too
that's on the extreme
end of things
but you're right
people do crazy things
in the name of beauty
and weight loss
so I would like to know
this morning
what's the craziest thing
you've ever done
in the name of weight loss
or beauty
you know what people
are doing a lot of lately and I can't get on board with it?
Ice baths.
Oh, right.
It's for like muscle recovery, isn't it?
Yeah, is it after they do something, they're like, I'm hitting the ice bath.
And I'm just like, ooh.
A lot of like rugby teams and stuff in the changing rooms will have baths or spas set up with ice in them.
Not professional sports people.
This is just people at home with a 200 litre blue,
one of those blue plastic 200 litre drums.
And they, I don't know where they're getting that much ice from.
Yeah.
And they just, okay.
They just sit in it for as long as they can.
And there's some dude peddling this.
Is he a Dutchie?
I don't know.
There's a Dutch dude.
And it's like you go in and you breathe.
And his idea, he doesn't feel the cold anymore.
Oh, no.
That doesn't sound like fun for me at all.
I'd rather sit in a nice spa
pool. Me too. Call me crazy.
Yeah, call me crazy. Call me old fashioned.
Call me crazy. I'd like to sit in a warm
and a tempered pool in Fiji
with a Mai Tai.
That sounds delightful. Call me nuts, but that's my idea of
muscle recovery.
True. So I'd like to know
what you did in the name of beauty or weight loss this morning.
Oh, 800 dials at M.
So what, like extreme diets?
Extreme things that you put on your face for beauty?
My mum always cracks eggs and then rubs like the remnants on her face.
But I've heard that that's good for you.
What do you mean?
The shell.
And then like what's left of the white, she like smears it on her face.
What's in the shell?
Yeah.
So she gets the fingers in the shell. And then it dries and she gets like a white crackars it on her face. What's in the shell? Yeah. So she gets the fingers in the shell.
And then it dries
and she gets like a white
crackly paste on her face.
How's that going for her?
Does she look younger?
Do I have to answer that question?
Ooh, by not answering,
I'd say it's almost
an admission of guilt.
All right,
0800-DARLES-AT-HEM-9696,
the extreme things you've done
for beauty and weight loss.
FEM.
We want to know
what you did in the name
of weight loss or beauty because there's a couple
that have combined lost 55 pounds
like almost 25 kgs by drinking
their own urine.
And they dab it on their face for acne.
Keeps them fresh. How extreme
have you gone?
I've got a text that can beat the
urine.
Somebody said they were backpacking through India
and they were going for the whole cultural experience.
Eat, pray, love.
Yeah.
Okay.
Eat, pray, love, poop and hole in the ground,
get, what are they called, dally-dally?
Yep.
So they went to,
they were going through the traditional thing.
They went through all the different areas of India
and one place they sat down and they were given a drink
and they said, from what they could understand,
this was a traditional drink.
And they drank it and they said it was super tangy
and like, did not taste good.
Oh, no.
They were like, what is this?
And they were like, follow us.
And they walked outside and,
because, you know, Hindus worship cows.
Yeah.
This was the urine of the village cow.
Oh!
The highly regarded sacred cow had weed
and they bottled it and she drank some
like it was apple cider vinegar.
You don't want to be rude and be like,
what is this?
I need to know before I drink it,
but I'd need to know.
This is why Google Translate app,
you just get them to speak into it
and then it would say, you know, what it is.
Cow wheeze.
Exactly, cow wheeze.
And you can get out of there.
Before.
Before that.
Yeah.
So we're asking you how extreme it's got in the name of beauty and weight loss.
Another text saying, when I was on holiday in Vietnam,
I bought some face cream.
I used it for two months.
And then I was like, what is in this?
It's working so great.
I looked up the ingredients
as I wanted to buy something similar for mum in New Zealand.
To my shock, it was pure
snail slime.
Apparently very popular over there, but it freaked me out
and I haven't used it since. But they were saying it worked
well. Yeah. They wanted to get their mum
some. Because remember there was those
slime, those snail facials
where they let snails crawl all over your
face. I was going to say, can you get some out of the garden and just literally be like, have that.
And you never see an old snail like a real wrinkly old snail.
That's true.
They always look youthful.
You're very right.
When I step on them in the morning on the concrete, I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, but oh, my God.
Are you a child?
Don't look a day over three months.
Every time I crunch on a leaf, I'm like, oh, my God, I've crunched a snail.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm killing them all.
What do they milk them or something?
That's a very good question.
I don't know.
They have little udders underneath.
The glands.
The glands that produce the slime, right?
I just imagine this little factory and they're all just like caressing these snails.
Yeah.
So we want to know from you where it's gone in the name of beauty.
Lauren, good morning.
Good morning.
Good.
Now, you did the veggie juice diet.
Yeah, I did a juice fast for 45 days.
Oh, that sounds awful, Lauren.
Were you unbearable?
Initially, it was pretty awful just not eating.
But, yeah, after about a week, I kind of just got used to it,
and it was quite light.
Like, it was very nice not actually having any food.
Like, it was just really freeing.
But, yeah, it's not actually something I'd recommend in the end,
but it was pretty intense.
Not as intense as a bloody urine, but 45 days, I lost 20 kilos.
So, yeah, definitely short-term weight loss.
I was going to say, how much did you put back on when you started eating again?
That's exactly what I was about to say.
That's why I don't recommend it because anything that short-term,
obviously, probably isn't going to work long-term.
You've got to make lifestyle changes.
But probably put most of it back on again over the next couple of months.
So, yeah, not great in that regard.
Yeah, right.
Because I did it for a week, except the problem was I didn't poo,
like, the whole week.
Because, you know, you're just getting, like,
the sugar and the liquid out of the BGs.
That's a lot of information, Megan.
Thank you for sharing.
I just want people to know it's not ideal.
But it's good to hear that someone who's, like you said, Lauren,
someone who did it, and you're like,
well, I recognise that it's not the way to do it.
No.
It's got to be a lifestyle change and some good habits.
Yeah.
Thanks, you're cool, Lauren.
Natalie, how extreme did it go for you?
So I did the HCG diet.
What's that?
So basically, you can do 21 or 30 days.
I was going to go 30, but I went down.
And you can only have 500 calories a day.
Oh, my God.
That's nothing.
Not enough.
That's nothing.
I lasted 10 days because I just wanted a burger.
I was so hungry.
And burgers are like $2,000, eh?
Eat a burger.
But that's the situation, though, isn't it?
It's like that you end up binging at the end and undoing anything that you had done.
That's not like a healthy way to go about it.
Yeah, I lost eight kilos in 10 days.
I've managed to keep it off,
but only because I've been going to the gym quite a lot.
Right, which is the healthier and better way to do it, obviously,
because you feel better about yourself.
Nice.
All right, Natalie, thanks.
You're good.
Noelle, how extreme did it get in terms of beauty for you?
So I got tattoos done two separate occasions.
And what I did was I used to put my urine on it.
And so since then, I've been telling other people if they've got, like, injuries
or if they're planning on getting a tattoo to use their own urine to put on it.
Does that work?
It does work.
But you know you can get like tattoo aftercare lotions.
Yeah, but they pants and did nothing, man.
So wait, do you collect it in a little bottle and then just dab it on with a cotton pad
or something?
Yeah.
So, okay.
So I got one on my leg.
So what I used to do in the morning is I'd pee on it in the shower and then I'd, like, wash it off after a couple of minutes.
Right.
And then I got one on my back, and for the one on my back,
I used to put it in a cup and then put it on my back.
Pour it on your back.
Yeah.
And how do people generally react?
You should have just gone upside down in the shower.
They think it's gross and they always go for different avenues,
but I swear by it.
Okay.
Well, I mean,
if it works for you,
it works for you.
When it was the tattoo
on your leg,
did you make like a little,
like a little gutter
with your hand
and like direct the wee?
No.
Oh.
I just kind of
leant to the side
and then it kind of
went down my leg
on that one.
Wow.
Okay, but it works for you
so you're like,
oh well.
Yeah, but to be honest, I don't think I'd drink it. No. Yeah, no it works for you so you're like, oh well. Yeah, but to be honest
I don't think I'd drink it.
No, yeah, no.
We'll all draw the line there.
Yeah, yeah.
Noelle, thanks for your call.
Thank you.
Some text messages in.
Somebody said
when I worked on a dairy farm
we used to
okay
there was a
when a cow gives birth
and we talked about placentas the other day
The placenta would come out
There was one particular part
And the farmer used to say
This will keep your hands super soft
Because it's a worry
Farmers get rugged hands
And they'd cut it out
And they'd rub it into their hands
And she said it did
It did a wonderful job
Of keeping your hands
Like really really soft and lovely
Yuck
All you had to do Was rub your hands In the afterbirth of a bovine to do so.
Or just buy a hand cream.
Yeah, there's that option too.
There's always that option too.
Fact of the day, day, day the way, BT Dubs,
we're in the Naki in New Plymouth
for the next Fact of the Day pub quiz.
$1,000 for the winning team.
We'll be at the Good Home.
$1,000 if you want to register to be in to win that.
ZM Online.
And I'm excited because Caitlin hasn't been to New Plymouth before.
So I'm going to show her all the sights. We'll show you the
wind wand. So block out 10 minutes.
Sick.
Hot place,
I'll allow it.
I'll allow it.
Here's the wind wand and the mountain's up there somewhere
in the clouds. And the good news is
for people in New Plymouth, we're not letting
anybody from the Waikato play so you should be able to win
this one. Not like the Renfrewshire of the weekend.
Do you want a warm welcome?
Rugby.
Rugby chat.
Do you want a warm welcome or not?
I'll be given a warm welcome.
Not after those kind of comments.
Well, I'm excited.
Megan was the one that said about the nothing.
Oh, I'm just throwing small town sass.
Yeah, bit of that.
Nelson coming at you.
Bit of that.
Today's fact of the day is actually like a little bit sad, guys.
Okay.
It's a little bit sad.
You know that movie Rio where Juicy Eisenberg, who played...
No, that's not his name.
He was Zuckerberg.
No, his name's Eisenberg and he played Mark Zuckerberg.
Yeah.
He voiced a blue parrot.
It was Rio.
Is it an animated movie?
Yes.
Oh, I don't watch those. No, it was a real life one where he gave the voice to blue parrot. It was Rio. Is it an animated movie? Yes. Oh, I don't watch those.
No, it was a real life one where he gave the voice to a parrot.
But have you seen?
He played a parrot.
You've seen the pictures.
I know of it.
I know of it.
He played a macaw.
Now, the whole story of the first one was that he was the last of his species.
And he was being held captive.
Well, he wasn't being held captive. He was a
pet. So he went back to
Rio de Janeiro where the only breeding female
was there. And
spoiler alert, comically
at the end of it, they have some babies.
Well, life does not imitate art
as the blue macaw is
now officially extinct in the wild.
The basis of that movie, they're now extinct in the wild. Oh, no. The basis of that movie, they're now extinct in the wild.
There are some people who have, like, the collectors,
the bird collectors that have them.
The aviaries.
Yeah.
That have some, and there's some in some zoos around the world,
but there are no longer any in the wild.
Why can't the people that collect them just chuck a couple in the wild?
Boom, problem solved.
I don't know if they're that type of bird.
Some birds can't be like easily reintroduced to the wild
because they might have been like too domesticated
and they get out there and they're like...
Where's that mirror and that finger chill?
How big's a Brazilian rainforest?
You tell me someone's been all through that
and they can't find a single blue macaw?
Really? Well, that's the Brazilian rainforest? You tell me someone's been all through that and they can't find a single blue macaw? Really?
Well, that's the argument.
Extinction is to the number where they've not been seen
and they aren't seen in the wild.
There might be some out there,
but they're at the levels where one small incident could easily be.
Fletcher's like, all right, I'll bloody go to Ray and I'll find one.
And then we ring him in two years.
We're like, how's that hunt going?
And he's like oh
I got sidetracked
got sidetracked
by hot Brazilians
I got very easily
sorry
have you guys been here
oh my gosh
let me tell you about it
and we're to blame
for it by the way
climate change
and the fact
that we've just been
destroying their
natural habitat
so good one humans
so we're to blame
yeah that's another one.
Good.
That's another one.
What a depressing start to Monday.
Tick that out.
Well, you know, at Auckland Zoo,
you walk through that part and it's like,
it's got this list of all of these creatures.
It's in the New Zealand part.
Oh, yeah.
By the Kiwi house.
There's these cutouts
and it's got this list of creatures.
I'm like, oh, this must be, you know,
their hopes and dreams to expand
and get some of these in. And then you get to the one at the start and it's like, oh of creatures. I'm like, oh, this must be, you know, their hopes and dreams to expand and get some of these in.
And then you get to the one at the start
and it's like, oh, we've killed all these.
Yeah.
These are the ones we've extincted.
Oh, God.
We're like, ah, good one, humans.
It's terrible.
Someone get me an ice cream.
I need to eat my feelings for destroying the planet.
So today's fact of the day is the blue Spix McCore
that was the basis for the film Rio
is now officially extinct in the wild.
Fact of the day, day, Vaughn and Megan.
The Podcast.
This is a sad story.
This is bad.
But apparently mobility parking permits are being stolen.
This is for people to put in the windscreen of their car
so they can park in disabled car parks.
Yes.
Access, obviously easier access to places.
And you've got to apply for these, prove that you need one, and then you keep it in your
car.
It's got an expiry date on it.
Yep.
And also a number attached.
Right.
But it can, I guess that's so, rather than having your car's number plate, you could
go in somebody else's car and you could grab your permit and take it in that car.
Yes.
So you've got options.
Yep.
Well, these are being stolen and sold on Facebook Marketplace
around New Zealand,
fetching up to 400 bucks in some cases.
400 dollars?
Yeah.
Stealing them very bad,
buying them not far behind.
How have you got yours stolen?
Would it be difficult to get another one?
So no, apparently not really,
but it could take a little while.
The main guy in the story that I was reading about was a 70-year-old from Lower Hutt,
and he didn't even know his was missing until he was contacted.
CCS Disability Action said, hey, have you still got your permit?
And he said, oh, I'll check, and it turns out he didn't.
Someone had stolen it from his car and was selling it,
and he just hadn't had a, you know, need
to use it in that time, in that time period
and they said, oh yeah, it's for sale
for $400 and it's got your permit number on it
so we just wanted to make sure you were right. That's what I was
going to say, it's got numbers on it so surely
they can trace them and realise that it's not
yours. I've never got anything
on Facebook Marketplace. I don't know if I
trust it as much. But then, I mean, selling
wise, you don't have the same fees as like Trade Me, do you?
No.
Is that the idea?
There's no fees?
Isn't it just a private sale?
It just facilitates the private sale.
All right.
So they just, Facebook just want you using Facebook.
Pretty much, yeah.
And that's good enough for them, the advertising you're going to get.
If someone comes around to your house and gives you the cash and you can hand it over,
I might do that.
Is there no regulating of it?
Because if you tried to sell that on Trade Me, they'd be like, no, no, no.
Exactly.
You wouldn't get far, would you?
Yeah.
Come on, people.
I know.
And apparently it's not a one-off.
Somebody came back and their back windscreen had been smashed just so someone could sneak through and get it.
Somebody else said they were literally sitting in their car
and someone just reached in and grabbed it out the window and ran away.
And the worst thing is
is that a lot of people
that use these passes
might not look like
there's anything wrong with them.
But you know,
they could have really
like debilitating
like arthritis
or something
that you can't see
like a wheelchair
or a crutch.
There's a huge range of things.
And so quite often
people will get a bit of stick
if they're using one of these
and they don't look like they should have one.
Yeah.
So now, I mean,
this is only going to make the matter worse, isn't it?
Because people will be like,
oh, you've stolen a pass.
You don't need this.
But then maybe just don't get involved.
Refrain on the judgment.
Well, yeah.
Just because you think they look able-bodied.
Yeah, it's probably not up to you,
so just, like,
stay out of it.
If you've got suspicions,
maybe, like,
get the number
on the mobility parking
and check that it
hasn't been stolen,
but I wouldn't
hit up a person.
I guess if you see
any of these
on Facebook Marketplace,
I'm guessing you can
report a listing.
I mean, if someone
was parked in a
disabled car park
and they got out
of their car
and did a backflip,
I'd be like, oh.
Yeah, maybe then, yeah.
No, that's not the case either
because some people can get them and can still do a backflip.
Who?
I think you'll find.
My blind and deaf friend has one
and he could probably do a backflip.
I've got questions whether that guy should be driving.
You said he's legally blind and deaf.
That's not what we're questioning here.
We're talking about whether he can do a backflip.
Can he do a backflip?
I think he probably could if he
tried. Oh God. Just park in the parents
parks. Yeah, park in those
ones. Those are a free-for-all. Go for those.
No, because I got abused in one of those that time
remember?
I parked in there and they left me a note and I was
like, one day I might have a child. Oh, a note's fine.
You don't have to look anybody in the
face if you're leaving a note.
In Australia there was an episode of 60 Minutes
where it was talking about Fortnite in a very serious sense.
Panic mongers.
This is one of those programs that parents would watch
and then get all up in arms and be like,
Coming up on 60 Minutes,
your children are spending heaps of time doing it,
so it must be bad.
Yeah.
This happens, it seems like, every couple of years.
Wasn't it like when every Grand Theft Auto came out?
Oh, yeah, but not even like violent video games.
Remember when Pokemon Go came out?
And they were like, are your children going to walk off a cliff
playing Pokemon Go?
Panic, tonight, 60 minutes.
So are your children going to be abducted by a man dressed as Charizard?
Tonight, 60 minutes.
It's just the minute anything's reached a point of popularity,
the panic merchants
need to get some
eyes on, get some clicks through.
Do you remember when we were at school and it was like,
is your kid going to be Marilyn Manson?
Is Ed going to join the Marilyn Manson cult?
Here's a picture of Marilyn Manson
with a thing on his butt that leads to
another man's gas mask. Could your child be
that man in the gas mask?
Find out tonight, 60 Minutes.
And even before that, it was like, Ninja Turtles,
do your children want to live in the sewer and leave home
to be mentored by a giant rat?
Ninja Turtles, tonight, 60 Minutes.
Power Rangers, are your children going to get some magical powers
from someone intergalactic-wise and team up with four other teenagers
to become the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
Tonight, find out, 60 Minutes.
Everything.
This mum says you couldn't get her teenager out of his bedroom.
That's just bad parenting.
No, and this is what she said.
She got flooded with people being like,
you're a bad parent.
She's like, I literally, what am I supposed to do
other than drag him out?
Drag him out.
There's a Facebook online gaming addiction group
where parents are flooding being like,
I need help.
I literally can't get my child off Fortnite.
I can imagine like if I was a kid now
and there was the Wi-Fi router,
that would have been a huge tool in Bev's arsenal.
Oh yeah, to turn off.
She just would have literally flicked,
like they pay the power bill.
They pay the internet bill.
They'd have the password.
And if it's turned off and your kid can't get to it
then what are they going to do?
They're not playing Fortnite.
I knew someone
that would
either flick it off
at the wall
so that people would
the kids would come out
and be like
internet's not working
it's like yep
dinner time
sit down
like
or have a password
and so they'd just go on
they had a shortcut
on their computer
and they'd be like
set the password and none of the kids had the password and so they'd just go on. They had a shortcut on their computer and they'd be like, set the password.
And none of the kids had the password.
Yeah.
And so they'd have to be like, oh, the internet's not working.
Come out to see why.
Yeah.
And the parents were like, well, you're not getting the password.
It's time to do this, that or the other or chores or.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's weird.
But then you know that if you turned the Wi-Fi router off, you can't play either, right?
No, I know.
It'd have to be very well planned.
I would have to be ready.
I'd change the password so they didn't have it.
That's how I'd do it.
So you've got it, but they don't.
I've got it, but they don't.
But you're playing it, Dad.
Yep.
Well, I'm an adult.
Do as I say, not as I do.
That's what my parents always used to say too.
Oh, God, I heard that all the time.
Yeah.
But what about you?
Well, do as I say, not as I do.
Okay.
So what's the deal?
They're selling
an online support group.
No, there is an online
gaming addiction
Facebook group
that has just been flooded
with parents
talking about Fortnite.
Right.
Do we need to start
one of these for you?
No, because the day,
here's my conundrum.
Spider-Man's out.
The new Spider-Man game.
And I love Spider-Man games.
Yes. Apparently very, very, game. And I love Spider-Man games. Yes.
Apparently very, very, very good.
Yes.
By the way,
I'm surprised anyone's
releasing any game until...
Wait a minute.
Oh, there's no disc in it.
Oh, it might be the download.
Oh, yeah, okay.
But I'm surprised any studios
are releasing games
when Fortnite's so huge.
Well, you've got to.
You've got to try to compete, right?
Yeah, I guess so.
Yeah, and like the numbers will...
Oh, yeah, well, this is good for my solo time,
but still got to team up with the squad.
Yeah, I didn't play at all all weekend until last night.
I rewarded myself.
Yeah.
Had a second place and a first place in the squads.
Pretty pleased with that.
Did you hide?
Did you hide in the bush? No, we've got a new tactic. We don't hide in the bush, but the squads pretty pleased with that did you hide
in the bush
no we've got a new tactic
we don't hide in the bush
but we
certainly don't
rush into any conflict
we let everyone
take care of each other
so you let everyone
kill each other
we hide up on a hill
and we're just like
chill
we'll just nip down there
quietly but quickly
grab that stuff
come back up here
everybody just relax
make a little fort
at the top of your path
sometimes but no you don't want to build a fort because then they know someone's built up there just hide behind a rock but quickly grab that stuff, come back up here. Everybody just relax. Make a little fort at the top of your path.
Sometimes.
No, you don't want to build a fort because then they know that someone's built up there.
Just hide behind a rock.
And then you just chat.
And it's like four dudes literally just chilling on top of a hill,
having a chat.
What's, anybody coming?
No, no.
Back to what we were chatting about.
Oi, sweet.
What have you been doing this weekend?
Oh, mow the lawns.
Oi.
Oh, gunfire in the distance.
Where's that coming from?
Let them sort their...
Don't rush in there.
Let them sort themselves out.
