ZM. Head music lives here. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thank you, Anya. Welcome back to the show. It's the first break, isn't it? Like from yesterday. I actually did want to say welcome back to our Hamilton listeners. I was wondering if we should mention this, but we should mention this because yesterday we were just playing music in the Waikato on our ZM frequency. You'll be happy to know overnight the technicians went to the transmitter. Yeah, everyone checked it out.

Ruru. Correct. And it was all good up there. Tomato. So they go back to the studios in Hamilton, the NZME building. What is wrong? Well, the plug was out on the back of the machine. Literally, the plug.

The plug had come out. I call sabotage. Who pulled the plug out on ZM? Janice, somebody, when I was working in Hamilton at a radio station, somebody told me if you really wanted to take them down, it'd be very easy. So I'm suspecting he might be involved.

Check the location of that fella. Yeah, yeah. He's always up to shenanigans. The first thing you should do, right? Check the plug and turn it off and on. And Vaughan, we're all a little concerned that you've brought in tuna for breakfast. Tough times in the Smith house, mate.

My usual sachet of porridge was unavailable this morning, so... Why was it unavailable? Sade did not get it from the supermarket, Megan. And yes, I hear people saying you should be doing your own shopping, but we took tasks yesterday. I took the children to swimming and she took the list shopping. And on that list, porridge was written. And the shopping was returned sans porridge.

Well, you should show her. You should leave a cat at swimming next time. I think I will. But they've done nothing wrong. They've just caught the crossfire of their parents' passive-aggressive arguing. She needs to learn. We've got the top six coming up on the show soon. Yeah.

Oh, sweet news. The lady that wrote I Quit Sugar. New York Times bestseller. Yeah. Oh, sweet news. The lady that wrote I Quit Sugar, New York Times bestseller. Yeah. She's made millions from that. Massive book on why you should and the benefits

and rah-dee-rah. Yeah. Well, she's eating chocolate every single day now. God, how they're mighty and fallen. Welcome back. Welcome back to Team Sugar.

Yum, yum, yum. So we've got the top six other self-help book authors who have turned their back on their own bots. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Good morning. All right, three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, deliberate, decide which headline.

You're only allowed to pick one of the following three. Headline one, Florida woman versus camel. Headline two, plumber the hero we all need. And hero three, assault with a banana. You said hero three, you meant story three. Oh, story three, assault with a banana. Ooh, I kind of like the plumber as the hero that we all need. Okay.

Like Mario. Yeah. It's-a me, a Marioumber It's the hero that we all need Okay Like Mario Yeah That's the only similarity Because he's a plumber And he's Italian No Is he not Italian? No, he's a hero

He's a hero In my mind, this plumber was automatically Italian Yeah, that's what you've done Yeah No British, actually What was story number one? Florida woman versus camel That's what you've done. Yes, I'm here, Mario. Yeah. No. British, actually. I'm going to win. What was story number one?

Florida woman versus camel. Now, was the Florida woman in camel territory or was the camel in Florida? That's a big part for me because if it's in the wild, I want to hear about it, but if it was just in a zoo, I'll pass.

I think I'll go for it. I believe it was... Yeah, but if it was just in a zoo, I'll pass. I think I'll go for it. I believe it was... Yeah, it was in America, so she must have been at like a farm, a wildlife sanctuary or a farm. By the looks of this. And then something banana? A salt with a banana.

What do you want? Plumber. Oh, yay, cool. Okay, plumber. It's a feel-good story, guys. It's a feel-good story. A guy in the UK, he's a plumber. Cool. Okay, plumber. It's a feel-good story, guys. It's a feel-good story. A guy in the UK, he's a plumber. Mario. Mario. His name is James Anderson.

He's 52. He is a kind-hearted plumber who fixes boilers, like what would we call a boiler? Hot water. A hot water cylinder. Yeah. So he goes around and fixes hot water cylinders free of charge for the elderly and the disabled.

Oh, buddy. That's nice. Now, he's gone viral because he invoiced a 91-year-old woman an invoice for zero pounds. Okay. And somebody took a photo of that and put it online and said, this is the amazing work that this plumber's doing. And that kind of went worldwide. And he has now received 80,,000 in donations, crowdfunding,

for his efforts to go and fix elderly people's plumbing. And he's even had people from places like Australia, Asia, America asking how they can kind of do this kind of similar work. That's cool. Because they also want to give back. So he's saying he's having a lot of conversations with people and, yeah, people are wanting to set up doing similar not-for-profit companies like him.

That's nice. Yeah. That is a feel-good story. So I don't know how he got into it. Maybe he just went to an old lady's place one day and he thought, well, she's too old to afford this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The woman who was 91 had leukaemia as well.

So that's why it's kind of touched a lot of people that he'd just go and do all this work for free for her. So he still does his job as well to make himself money. But when he does it for the elderly, it's free. Yeah. Right. Yeah. So he's received £80,000 in donations so far

and just wants to help vulnerable people around the country. Here's how it's going to be ruined. How's it going to be ruined? Here's how someone's going to ruin this. They're going to be like, my hot water cylinder's not working. Get Nan out of the home for the weekend. Yep.

Or the day. Or dress up like an old person. Yeah. And then he's going to come around to fix it and Nan's going to be like, thank you. And he's like, it's free. And then he goes to the next job and she gets chucked back in the retirement home.

How do you – I would never have thought of that. How do you get to like cheating the system so quickly? I was raised by villains. In an evil layer. Yeah. Yeah. Just the stuff I try as I might to be a good guy. That's always back there.

Taken away in the back of my head. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. When someone says they're a sex addict, what do you think? They have a lot of it. Or they always, they might not be having a lot. Or they think about it. They want it. Yeah.

Would it be fair to say a lot of people still don't believe that it's a real thing? It's like when Tiger Woods is like, I couldn't help it, I'm a sex addict. I always find it's convenient when someone's been caught out being naughty to do with sex and they blame being a sex addict. Yeah. So scientists have said that it actually really does exist. And they've found out if they do like a genetic test,

who is more susceptible to being a sex addict. Oh, okay. So apparently one in 10 men and one in 12 women are sex addicts. And they have found that people who have increased levels of oxytocin, which is the cuddle hormone. It's the hormone that you produce when you cuddle. It's a natural painkiller too, isn't it? Yeah.

It's what your body produces heaps of when you go into labour. Oh, okay. And then afterwards you get a flood of it to make you forget how painful that was. Yeah, and that's why a woman will have more than one child even though it's like... Oh my God, I'll do it again. You've forgotten how... So no matter how painful they tell you it is, it's way worse. Right.

Because oxytocin came along afterwards. So this, when you cuddle someone, big spoon or little spoon, does it say which one? Either way. Either way. You get this oxytocin. Right. And that's to help people bond and stay together and it's the love hormone. Right. But people who have increased levels of oxytocin

are more likely to be sex addicts. So you would know this because they love cuddling. Yeah. That would be a telltale sign wouldn't it? They love follow through. They cuddle and they start pushing it into your back and how about that? Yeah.

A little bit aggressive. The more oxytocin you have in your system, the more rewarding the adult fun times is. Oh really? So that's also why they're like really into it. I mean, we're all into it. So the cuddling gets it started.

Yeah. So that's why foreplay is important. Yeah. With a bit of cuddling first, not just jumping straight into the deep end of the pool. Are you telling us or telling yourself? I'm just reiterating what I already knew. Just for the class.

Just sharing with the class. Yeah. Right, so take your time on that then. Yeah. All right. Good for the class. Just sharing with the class. Right, so take your time on that then. Good. It's very important. But a lot of people who suffer from sex addiction cannot control their behaviour

and it can have adverse effects on their lives. So next time you hear a celebrity say, I'm just a sex addict, take it seriously please. It's a real condition. It is. From the ZM Think Tank, this is seriously, please. It's a real condition. It is. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. A book called

I Quit Sugar was a New York Times bestseller and the business associated with it made more than $2.9 million a year since it was initially published. This was written by Sarah Wilson is her name. She said when she

quit the white stuff is what she said to her 1.2 million followers. Lost weight and her skin cleared. She found the kind of energy and sparkle she had as a kid. When you first quit sugar, you must quit all of it so you can break the addiction

and referred to sugar as poison. However, she now insists she never told anyone not to eat sugar. You've literally got a book called I Quit Sugar. She is back on the wines and back on the choccy. She loves red wine and she eats chocolate every single day. Can't live without it. Loves a bit of cake too. Yeah, loves eating a bit of cake.

She's literally, there's a video of her when she was in New Zealand last year on the project telling them about the dangers of hidden sugar. And her book, I Quit Sugar, you know, tells about the life of just cold turkey quitting sugar. Now, qualified nutritionists have been quite taken aback by this. One, an Australian nutritionist, Tara Leong, said she was very angry because women were taking this, people, sorry, were taking this woman's book as gospel. Yeah, right.

She's not a qualified nutritionist. She just saw some dollars to be made, apparently. Right. So she said all these people were coming in and having cold turkey with sugar. Yeah. And, you know, harming themselves by not eating next to anything. Yeah, right.

Well, you still need some carbs, don't you, to function? Keep going, to keep powering through, fruit, et cetera. Yeah. She said, and now this woman's like, I'm back, I'm eating cake. And choccies. You can see why people are pissed. Cake and choccies and wine. So now Sarah Wilson is publicising her new book about anxiety called First We Make the Beast Beautiful.

So again, I don't know. She's not qualified in any aspect to deal with this. So these are the top six. Other self-help or lifestyle book authors who turn their backs on their own books. Number six is a book called Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Right. By Stephen R. Covey. This is a big popular bestseller.

Massive. Well regarded as in the top ten self-help books. I want to know what the habits are. Of all time. You've got me. You'll have to buy the book, Megan. But anyway, Stephen, he's like, I don't even try anymore. He's given up.

He's given up. Yeah. He's just, I don't know. No, not for me. I don't wish to be effective. Number five on the list of the top six self-help book authors who have turned their backs on their own books. Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

Weren't you reading that? And Janani was reading that, wasn't she? Or was that something about buckets? I can't remember. No, that was the Barefoot Investor. And that's why I have millions now, guys. You simply must read it. Yeah.

He's a Barefoot Investor. Which one of them got in trouble? Didn't one of them recently have some financial strife with the Australian government? I don't know. I don't know. I hope it's Anya's one. Rich Dad Poor Dad

by Robert Kiyosaki. Robert's neither rich nor poor, now he's happily middle class. He's just like, look, sometimes you want to blow money on a power tool you're only going to use once. That's life. That's life. Number four on the list of the top six self-help book authors

who have turned their backs on their own books. This is a very famous, there's even a movie by the Dale Carnegie book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Oh, okay. He hates everybody now. Not interested. Just is a hermit, lives alone, got absolutely no interest in morons. Yeah. I wouldn't even in morons. Yeah.

I wouldn't even read that book. No. I'm happily just walking by not talking to people. Should be called How to Ignore People and Pretend Your Headphones Are Actually Playing Something. Number three on the list of the top six self-help authors who have turned their backs on their own books. Bea Johnson wrote a book called The Zero Waste Home, The Ultimate Guide to Simplifying Your Life by Reducing Your Waste.

Oh, okay. She's a hoarder now. Really? Yeah, she's a hoarder. She just lives within piles and she keeps stuff like fish and chip wrappers. Okay, just, yeah. Sad for from Grace.

Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six self-help authors who turn their backs on their own books, Good Vibes, Good Life by Vex King. Subtitled, How Self-Love is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness. Hates looking in the mirror. Can't stand the sight of herself.

Bad Vibes, Pretty Average Life for Vex King now. And the number one self-help author that turned their back on their own books, Mark Manson's book that everybody buys but never really finishes. But I think you're not really meant to finish it because if you really didn't give an F, you probably wouldn't. The subtle art of not giving an F.

Oh, you're right. This is one of those books that everybody's been reading lately, but I've not known anybody who actually finished it. I've seen it on people's Instagrams. Yeah, it's like orange. It's a funny title. Yeah, it's orange. Really catches the eye. Yeah I'm always like, that's a funny title. Yeah. It's orange. Yeah. Really catches the eye. Yeah, what's the gist of it?

Just meh. I feel like I've already nailed that because I don't want to read it. Yeah, done. Yeah, me too. Well, Mark, he's riddled with anxiety. All he can think about is giving an F now. Yeah, yeah. Giving so much of an F. Yeah.

He tried to play it cool by writing a book, but he just really cares what you think. Right. And what you have to say and your opinion of him. Yeah, I know. It's tough times. Not doing nearly as well as his brother Marilyn, who, Marilyn Manson, who really doesn't give a F whatsoever.

That is today's top six. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. This is a crazy story. Thomas Cook Travel is a UK-based travel firm, but it doesn't just do flights. It owns hotels. It's got planes, isn't it? Yeah, it's got airlines. It's got hotels.

It's got transfer. So you book your whole package with them. Yeah, and they take care of everything. Right. Well, it's gone belly up. It's collapsed. And it's left 150,000 British holidaymakers stranded overseas. 150,000.

So getting these people home apparently is the largest repatriation. I'm not quite saying that right. Repatriation. Repatriation. Mission since World War II. What? So who has to pay for that? Well, apparently a place called ATOL, A-T-O-L, which is an acronym.

Yeah. They cover, this is like an insurance scheme. Right. And so they will cover chartered flights from other airlines, British Airways, EasyJet, etc. And for the next two and a bit weeks, they're going to be getting people home. It's going to take two and a half weeks to get everyone home. Well, you'd want to have your holiday first. They're going to try to get you home as close to your...

Right. So you can go on, well, unless the hotel you're in is like, get out because it's shut down. Yeah. That's sad because that'll be a lot of jobs people have lost as well. Well, yeah the hotel you're in is like, get out because it's shut down. Yeah. That's sad because that'll be a lot of jobs people have lost as well. Well, yeah, heck yeah. The whole company's shut down and gone. And that includes, yeah, hotels and pilots are saying that they feel absolutely done over because they don't have jobs anymore.

But pilots are still in quite demand, eh? So they should be all right. They're highly qualified professionals. There's lots of planes still flying around. So, yeah, for the next two and a bit weeks, they're going to be getting people home as close to the date as they possibly could. I'd be like,

I'm in Fiji. Oh, get someone else home first. I'll just tell work I'm stuck here for two weeks. It's okay. I'll take a bullet. But you've got to find somewhere to stay, and that's on you. Can I not sleep on the beach? It's F weeks. It's okay. I'll take a bullet. But you've got to find somewhere to stay. And that's on you. Can I not sleep on the beach? It's Fiji.

You can try. Snacks. In Fiji? Beach snacks. Sea snakes. Yeah, those black and white ones are very poisonous. Right, okay. So there's this... That's not all it cracks up to be.

No. There's, you know, lots of people have got questions. Yeah. And people are flooding to the airport, but they're saying what you should not do is flood to the airport. If you fill in all your details correctly and you've made yourself contactable while overseas, they'll be in touch to tell you when to go to the airport,

but do expect some delays. And you could be, like, if you flew out of Heathrow, you could be flown into Scotland, somewhere else, and they'll bus you. Oh, right. You'd hope it wasn't Scotland. else and they'll bust you. Oh, right. You'd hope it wasn't Scotland. That sounds like a long drive. Are any Kiwi mum and dads caught up in this?

Because it feels like this is something baby boomers would do. Go on a package holiday. M-FAT? Yep. We've got to get a better acronym for that. Yeah, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. They did not believe there were any Kiwis Caught up in it

But that's probably Because no one Because do you know When you go overseas You're meant to register Where you're going with them Do you ever do that? With MFAT?

Yeah No What? Well yeah if you're going overseas To like Well you don't have It's not a law You don't have to

Maybe they just Get the card The thing you do At the airport No you go on And you say Here's where I'm going to be traveling. And then so if you're in a city where there's a big disaster or something.

I didn't even know you could do that. Yeah. Who do you tell? You fill out a form online. Oh, in fact, register travel. Yeah. Register your travel. Is it like a safe travel thing?

It's like a safe travel thing. So maybe if you were going to South America or some dodgy countries, you'd do that. Right. So that they can hire a helicopter to get you out of there. Yeah, you wouldn't do it if you were going to the Goldie for a week. Guys, I'm going to the Goldie. If I don't come home. If something happens on the Goldie, New Zealand,

just assume that there'll be a lot of Kiwis caught up in that anyway. Like 80%. Pretty much. It's like a suburb of New Zealand, isn't it? 80%. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Yesterday, I got involved in some hot dad chat. We weren't hot dads.

I'm speaking for myself. I'm okay. They were. Plutonically, they were fine-looking dads. Okay, right. This happened on school pick-up. Shada and I both went to get the girls, and when we were walking in in I couldn't help but notice

it really caught my eye the groundskeeper at Indian August School has got a new ride on lawnmower but it's one of those ride on lawnmowers

that's like a little mini tractor okay but it's got the underneath ride on lawnmower it doesn't tow the mower it's got the mower underneath it's like a mini

little tractor it's a kubuto right kubuta I believe is the how this is said. And I was like, Sade said, I'm just going to keep going. What, so you just look at this?

So I looked and I was looking and I was like, this is a nice piece of kit. And then all of a sudden there was another dad there beside me. Yeah. And he was like, this is nice, isn't it? I said, it is. It's gorgeous. And we started talking about how wide the cutting blade would be

and like how it would be great for a job around here and then another dad joined us and he's like it's got a PTO on the back

now that's that that's that spinning thing do you know on tractors you know when they're towing a mower you know when the mower sits behind it

and the thing spins it and it spins in turn spins the blade. But it can work on heaps of things. There's heaps of things you can tow behind a tractor that work on a PTO. Blender? You could probably hold a blender up to it if you knew what you were doing. Mix up a cake on the back of it.

Smoothie while you're doing the lawns? Yes, do the lawns and you look behind and you're absolutely churning up a lovely green smoothie for everybody and all involved. I was like, oh, that's nice. And then Dad too, the second one to join me, he's like, what do you reckon these are? And I'm like, oh, I didn't notice that. You can put a front-end lighter on this.

That's like the diggy, but you know, the one on the front of the trailer? You can pick it up. Yeah, like the bucket, and you can pick it up. So it's got the hydraulic connections to put a front- end loader on it. So I was like, this is good. Who's on your school's board of trustee wasting all this money?

Well, and then one of the, the third dad to joins, like, oh, I've got it at the Norwood sale. Have you heard the ad on the radio for the Norwood sale? No, I haven't. Have you not listened to the radio? It's radio advertising. Radio is word of mouth advertising well it's obviously working for you well yeah because it caught my attention so the norwood's having the um end of season you know you can get a lot of maybe it's been used somewhere else like i might have been used at a high-end golf course

right but they're posh so they like to keep up with the latest so they give it a bit of a clean up and then service and then sell it right and i oh, heard the ad on the radio for this. And the dad is like, you would have. I was like, oh yeah, I suppose you're right. And we don't know each other's names. Right. Did you not at the end be like, oh my God, what's your phone number? No, we just had a good chat.

And then the bell went and I was like, well, you know what that means? And they're like, yep. And they're like, well, just no one really knew what I meant by that. Great dad chat. Where just the bell went. So of course you know what that means. And they're like, yep. And they're like, well, just no one really knew what I meant by that. Great dad chat. We're just the bell went, so of course you know what that means. It's time to get the kids. You know what that means.

And we're kind of like, see you later. Yeah, all right, see you later. You should have capitalised on it. And then we like parted ways. You should have been like, mate, let's catch up. What do you say?

Let's catch up for a coffee or like, can I have your number? No, no. He doesn't want to hang out with them. No, I don't even want to be friends with them. No, I don't want new friends. I don't want any more friends. But you loved it.

We just had a moment of, yeah, of mutual appreciation about a wonderful little tractor mower unit. What if one of them was racist? Well, you find that out later and then you can drop them. I don't want to be. I don't even want to take a chance. I don't take a chance on anyone anymore. You've can drop them. I don't want to bet. I don't even want to take a chance. I don't take a chance on anyone anymore. You've got enough

friends. You don't need new ones. Yeah we just had a mutual tractor admiration club and it was beautiful while it lasted Megan but let's just let that be that. But I am looking forward to seeing them again if we see them mowing so we can stand. But they won't mow because it's when

all the kids are coming out of, bloody kids, coming out of class. And, of course, you can't mow the lawns when kids are running around because you might run one over. Oh, they did it when I was in primary school. Yeah, I know. But how many kids would we be losing back then, you know? A lot. God, the school rolls dropped some weeks, didn't they?

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The 71st Emmy Awards, annual Emmy Awards, were yesterday. And for the first time, the viewership fell under 7 million. It's an all-time low. Oh. But they didn't have a host. They had like lots of different people up on stage.

No host is kind of the thing to do now. Yeah, also the clues and all the awards you gave away, they're all streaming sites, most of them. Yeah. So no one's watching like live TV and we're all seeing it on most of them. Yeah. So no one's watching live TV, and we're all seeing it on the internet anyway. Clips on Facebook. Yeah, that's how I watch it. Then everyone else can

tell me the best bits to watch, and you don't have to sit through that whole ceremony. Yeah, exactly. So the full list of winners, these are TV shows that you need to watch. Flirtches, Feeling Smug. I feel real smug. Do you feel smug, Vaughn, when all the TV shows

you like win the Emmys? Love that. Because you're like, I have great taste. Outstanding comedy series is one. The winner was a show that Fletch just goes

on and on and on about. Fleabag. So great. I know nothing about this show. Excuse me. Wait a minute. Excuse me. Who goes on and on about it?

He does. I introduced him to it. Oh, did you? me. Who goes on and on about it? He does. I introduced him to it. Oh, did you? Or you both go on and on? It was mine. How does that feel? Sorry, Vaughn made the show. Someone else takes your credit.

Myself and Phoebe Waller-Bridge sat down and we came up with the idea for Fleabag. No, but she is so good. She is hilarious. And so she won Best Actress, Writer. And what was the other one? They also won for, it was a Best Series. Yeah, that's the one that I'm talking about. So Fleabag's just cleaning up really.

So good. I know nothing about it. If you want to watch it, you've got to get Amazon Prime. Right. Which is cheap as anything. And there's some great stuff on that. Okay. What else is on there?

So she bet Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Yeah, for Veep. But she's won heaps anyway. She's won that like so many times in a row. I'm sure she's not going to be upset. Outstanding drama series. That was hotly contested. This Is Us was in there, Killing Eve, Ozark, Succession, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones took that out.

A lot of people were very upset about that because they were like, did they even see the final season? Outstanding lead actor in a drama series is Billy Porter for, is it Pose or Posse? We're not sure. Pose. Yeah, I haven't heard of that show. I've never seen it before either. It's rated really well on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. Another show that Fletch goes on and on about,

outstanding lead actress in a drama series, Jodie Comer from Killing Eve. She's amazing. Again, that's another. Written by the Fleabag chick. Yeah, Phoebe Waller-Bridge. So excited or so happy about this. Outstanding lead actor in a limited series or movie.

It's Jharrel Jerome, When They See Us. Oh my God, he's brilliant. The guy who literally broke me. And this is the last episode of that. Yeah. So he won. Very good news. What else is there?

Outstanding lead actor in a comedy series. Bill Hader got it for Barry. Now, he plays a hitman that wants to be an actor in Hollywood. Yeah. No. No, it's like a dark comedy. I can't imagine Bill Hader doing something too serious. I've seen him do a couple of serious things.

He's really good. He's one of those comedy actors when they do serious. Remember when Jim Carrey did a couple of serious movies and you're like, didn't see that coming. You spent the whole movie waiting for them to crack a joke. For the joke, yeah. Then Outstanding Reality Competition. It was RuPaul's Drag Race.

Is that the one where the Kardashians got up on stage and introduced it and everyone laughed at them? So they talked about real people telling real stories? Yeah. Yeah. I can see why they laughed. The irony's not lost on me there. Chernobyl won for Outstanding Limited Series. That was up against When They See Us.

But what's his face? The main guy in Chernobyl, he lost out. Did he? Yeah. Jared. Jared, yeah, Jared Harris. Did he even get Best Actor? Nah.

Someone else won that. Who got Best Actor? Dunno. In his category. That's a shame. It's hard because they don't just call them best actor.

It's like Outstanding Or in a limited series. In a limited series. And then it's all different. Yeah. Yeah. But you need to go

through the list of these and if there's shows on here that you haven't seen. Patricia Arquette won for supporting actress in a limited series or movie for The Act.

That's really good, that show. You haven't seen it. Jamie. What's that about? It's about the girl who, I don't want to tell you because it'll ruin it if you don't know the story,

but her mum and her, she's unwell. Yeah. And she gets given a lot of charity and then we find out that her mum may have been behind some of that. Jamie King didn't win for that. She was nominated, but she was very excited just to be nominated.

But yeah, The Act is another show you need to watch. Good list of shows in there. Highlights from clips I saw online was Jason Bateman's face when he beat Game of Thrones. Yeah. He can't believe it

and all his friends are really stoked for him, but he's basically downplaying it. What did he win for? Best director. Best directing of an episode, yeah. And the guy from Reno 911.

With his sass on Felicity Huffman for being in jail. Brilliant. 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. Ahead of the final of Celebrity Treasure Island, we're joined on the phone by one of the finalists, Shane Cameron. Good morning. Hey, team. How are you? Good, mate. So Shane, Gary, and Sam are left.

It's all the boys, Shane. Lads, lads, lads. are left, it's all the boys Shane I know, yes I'm going to ask you a tough question This is going to be hard for you because obviously you've come this far without letting anybody know who actually wins, whether it be you or one of the other two You've only got a few hours to go

and a few interviews, so let's tiptoe through this one But, if you couldn't win, don't You've only got a few hours to go and a few interviews, so let's tiptoe through this one. But if you couldn't win, don't give anything away, who would you want to win out of Gary and Sam? Shane. You're out of the picture. Just saying. If it's not you.

I've probably got to bet I was Gary. I've probably got on better with Gary. I've got on better with Gary, you know. Because he was team Mark Hall the whole way through. So, yeah, I got on well with him more than anyone. So Sam and Sam was on the other team. He was causing a ruckus at the start anyway. So we're a buddy. I'm not going to say Sam even though I like him now yeah i think he likes me that's okay yeah it's okay so go go go

with gary because gary used his mercy card on you as well gary's the reason you're still there yeah he is the reason i'm still there and the thing with the with the meal was that mercy car like and i said because i wanted to I wasn't very good at actually playing the game. Sam played the game very well. I was just like, well, if I lose, I said, don't lose, use mercy card on me because I don't want to be saved. And that way, because I just thought, well, if I go up and I lose, well, then I deserve to go home. And then no one wanted to go up against Eric. I said, well, I'll go up against him. But then I sort of thought about it. I think, no, it's pretty important that he used a mercy card

just in case Eric gets me. And Eric did get me. And he did well. He did well. But it was a stack load of fun. It was a stack load of fun. And, yeah, I hope everyone enjoyed the journey, watching the journey from woe to go.

And, yeah, it ends tonight. What's it been like watching yourself in that scenario yeah it's been um it's been i suppose it's been good because even like um my partner she was like uh so do i have to worry about anything shayna you've done on the show that you're embarrassed about or or i should be embarrassed about or how you conducted yourself. And she goes, give me out of 10. How did you go? I said, 10. I said, 10 out of 10.

That's pretty good. You could finish a reality TV show and be pretty pleased with your behaviour the whole way through. Like, you know, hunger or being tired or someone getting under your skin didn't affect you to the point where you did something that you hope miraculously gets lost

in the edit room for you. That's pretty cool. Yeah, no, it was good. No, I loved the journey. And it was something like 12 years was the last time it was on. That was in Atlanta, Cogroff and Mark Ellis,

Matthew Riggs and all those. I remember watching it and I was full on with my boxing career at the time. And I was like, man, I'd love to give that a go. I'd love to have the opportunity, but it just never happened for 12 years.

And then I got a phone call from Andy Hayden, my agent, and he didn't get halfway through the conversation. I just goes, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. And no regrets. Yeah, absolutely no regrets. So what's the plan for the viewing party tonight? Are you watching it with people, by yourself? what's the plan for the viewing party tonight? Are you watching it with people,

by yourself? What's the plan? I mean, yeah, I've never thought of that. I'm actually, by myself, my partner's gone to Bali

for seven weeks. Oh, jeez. Yeah. Shame. Yeah, he had dropped her there four years ago.

So yeah, I'm home alone. I've never actually thought about it. Yeah, well, maybe she's away. I may have to organise a massive shindig.

Yeah, get it, Lance. And you've just lost that 10 out of 10. Hey, you just got me. Oh, all the best. I spoke to you guys this morning. Now I can organise a bloody party. Yeah, do it. Get it sorted.

Do it. Get it done. Shane Cameron, we've loved watching you and hopefully all the best that you win tonight on Celebrity Treasure Island. Thank you very much, guys. Thank you very much. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. This is a really sad story.

It's actually from Kmart in Australia. I don't know if Kmart here has the same policy. Unsure. But it is from Kmart in Australia. A man left his wallet in Kmart and obviously realised the next day and was like, oh, that's where I've left it.

Went into Kmart in Australia to go and pick it up and that's when the person in Kmart said, you're not going to be happy. We've borrowed a couple hundred bucks and everybody that did has chipped

in with an IOU and they've actually just sent us one more. When the man said, why is that? They said, we had to cut up all your cards. It's store policy. What? Now, just to add insult to injury, this guy is a

cancer patient. And so not only is his bank cards in there. Yeah. They destroyed all of his bank cards. We're talking credit cards. There's a picture of them all cut up. Credit cards, EFTPOS cards, all of them. His Medicare card and a $100 fuel voucher from the Cancer Council were also destroyed, but also his medical alert card.

So all the cards in his wallet, not only ones that can be used to take money. Even like ones where you get like 10 coffee stamps, you get a free coffee. Yeah. Or six free sushis. How dare they? They just cut every, what kind of weird policy is that?

I'd love to know if that's a policy in New Zealand. Anywhere in New Zealand. Anywhere. Why? Because why not, if you're at a Kmart in the mall, take it to the mall customer service or to the police. Or the manager of Kmart has a locked safe

where lost property of significant value can be put. Because you imagine it so that it doesn't, they don't lose it and then people steal the bank cards. Yeah. So Kmart has apologised. They said, we lose it and then people steal the bank cards. Yeah. So Kmart has apologised. They said, we deeply regret and sincerely apologise for the incident that occurred. We do have a lost property policy in place for stores,

which does not involve the destruction of all personal cards as has occurred in this situation. This was an unfortunate mistake. We apologise and we are working with the customer directly to rectify the situation. Why did the person say it was their store policy to cut up all the cards? I don't know. It sounds like someone's lying. Someone's lying. Someone's lying.

I've never ever heard of that before. No. But also, yeah, to go, you can see quite clearly, it says medical alert and it's got his name. I can't see why anyone would be able to use that card. Yeah, but they just cut it up anyway. But he needs it. And a voucher.

A petrol voucher. A petrol voucher. Are they reimbursing him all the money? Doesn't say. I would say so at the very least. I would bloody hope so. Very interesting. That's crazy. Yeah. I would bloody hope so. Very interesting. That's crazy.

Yeah. So what does he do? Like, yeah, see, this is annoying because it's heavy on admin. It's heavy on admin. The worst part about losing your wallet, the admin. Yeah. It's not like you can get them to do the paperwork for you. No, exactly, yeah.

I'll be charging them for admin time. Yeah. $2,000, we'll call it even. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Guys, I knew, I remember when it happened. I remember the day the news broke that Steve Irwin had died at the hands of a stingray. And ever since, I've just thought, kill them all.

It's not what Steve would have wanted. It's not what Steve would want. It's not what Steve would want. Exactly. He wouldn't want one of these murderers wandering the ocean. Kill the lot of them. Everything in the ocean. I don't think we take chances with whales. I could have needed a human if I wanted to.

You bloody could if you put your mind to it. So what you're saying is just get rid of everything in the ocean to avenge Steve Irwin's death. Everything. Okay. That's how passionate. Then we could just chuck plastic in there and nothing would die because there's nothing in there.

Well, plastic won't kill us. But do you remember when we fed stingrays? How cute they were? Yeah, of course. I speak in jest. Don't they like wave their hands so they can like pat your hand or give you a high five? Yeah.

They don't bite. Kind of like grandma with no teeth. Except grandma's got a stingy razor on the end that could kill you Yeah and if grandma's swimming around Naked in a Sort of a shallow tank Waiting to be released into the ocean Probably not a great time for grandma

But hey everybody gets affected by age In different ways I wouldn't put it past SeaWorld now because I can't have whales and dolphins. They could have grandmas. In captivity. Welcome to SeaWorld, ladies and gentlemen. Don't forget at 11.30, the grandma show. Come on down and show the kids the splashing grandmas.

Feed them some breadcrumbs. We believe this is Dolores' last show. She's been showing signs of fatigue lately. She had to be resuscitated after the 9.30 show this morning. But we're going to chuck her back in at 11.30, so make sure you grab a hot dog. Come on down. Have a great time at SeaWorld.

Stop me. So back to the Irwins at hand. But it's all right for the whales, isn't it? Yeah, isn't it? Put it a different way. Yeah. How very interesting. But apparently the Irwin family, they're not getting on.

Now, the immediate family, okay, you've still got your Bob. That's Bob Jr. That's the son. He's always on Jimmy Fallon. Freaking Jimmy Fallon out with some wacky animals. You've got Bindi and Terry. Now, that's the... They're the tight unit. They're the tight unit.

They're the tight unit. They're alright now. It's everybody that falls outside of that strong triangle in the Irwin clan. No, what about his dad? No.

No. He said this is kind of what brought it up. In 2015 apparently somebody asked Bindi how the family was going because they had an inkling that there was an issue.

Okay. She said, oh yeah, we don't really see much of granddad. He distanced himself from our family not too long after dad's passing. Everybody deals with grief differently.

It was a hard time. Okay. And Steve has got two sisters who look nothing like Steve. And when I saw them, I was like, who are these? And it turns out

they're Steve's sisters. Okay. Because he was blonde, wasn't he? Yeah. They're sisters. Okay. Because he was blonde, wasn't he? Yeah. They're not. Okay. At all.

Right. They have a different hair colour. Dun, dun, dun. Shocking. Dye exists. Well, if you want me to go into it, Megan, this is also a way they don't look anything like Steve. Look at that.

They look nothing like Steve. Really? No, they don't look anything like him. This is them up the air. Don't look at Terry. Terry looks more like his sister than his sisters. Yeah. Well, it doesn't look like they're wearing black

and he's wearing, everyone's wearing white colours. Oh, that's true. Everyone else is wearing khaki. Maybe that was where I got tripped up, the colour of their clothes. Put them in some khaki. So they don't talk to them. Yeah.

They had a falling out. The sisters. They don't talk to the sisters. They don't talk to the sisters and they don't talk to Bob. Bob. They had a falling out. The sisters. They don't talk to the sisters. They don't talk to the sisters and they don't talk to Bob. Bob, granddad Bob, not Bob Jr. said he's not expected to get an invite to Bindi's wedding. What happened? Do we know what happened?

It was just all apparently after Steve, Bob, Dad and Terry apparently had a disagreement as to how Australia Zoo should be run. So who runs the zoo now? Well, it was Steve's. So Terry and the kids. So Well, it was Steve's. So dad. The kids and the kids. Right, okay.

Yeah, Bob kind of handed it over to Steve. Right. Because he was getting a bit old. But Bob's not at the zoo. Bob Senior. He has nothing to do with the zoo. No, he's at SeaWorld for the 11th show. Because it's his wife. Dolores is his wife.

You might remember. Yeah, right, okay. He wants her out. He's trying to free her with protest signs. Free Dolores. Free Dolores. might remember she's. Yeah, right. Okay. He wants her out. He's trying to free her with protest signs. Free Dolores. Free Dolores. It's not happening. Right.

So, yeah, there's a bit of. A few. Because you never thought. You thought they were so tight, hey? Oh, yeah. You thought Bob was. I never saw the sisters in all the Crocodile Hunter shows. Oh, that's sad.

Because that's not what Steve would have wanted either. You know? He would have wanted everyone to be friends. he would have wanted everyone to be friends. He would have wanted everyone to have a boa constrictor around their neck, strangling them but pulling them closer together. Yeah. That's what he would have wanted. As a tight family unit.

Yeah, yeah. He would have wanted everybody to be hit with the same venom and they were all experiencing the same hallucination at the same time. That's how he would have wanted his family to live. But I think I would like to know this morning about your family feuds. Yes. What's your family feuding over?

The crazier, the better too. I always find families like so tight-knit until something really weird happens. And then there's a lot of stubbornness. Yes. Like it might not even be a big thing. Yes. The Irish.

Why are you rolling in this? Sorry, I'm not getting involved. It's just I can very much relate. To family feuds. Yeah. So why is your family feuding? 0800 DALES at M. You can give us a call.

So we want to know why your family is feuding. The Irwin family. Apparently not talking to Steve Irwin's sisters and dad, Bob Senior. Yeah. And Bob Senior doesn't even reckon he'll be invited to Bindi's wedding if these gossipy salacious news reports are anything to go by. Somebody messaged in. They went to Australia Zoo a couple of years after Steve's passing

and got talking to Bob Senior. And Bob Senior said he wasn't happy with the direction the zoo had taken. It was far too commercial and it was all about the money and not about the animals. Oh, God, he was having a moan to just some random punters. I know, yeah. So Terry Proto came in, and she was like, shut your mouth, Bob, or you're getting fed to the salt.

He was like, I'm sorry, Terry. I'm sorry, Terry. Wow. So it's all go at Australia Zoo. Apparently. So why is your family feuding? Crystal, why is your family feuding? Crystal, why is your family feuding? So we're not feuding anymore, but probably about a few years ago,

my aunt and uncle decided to buy a loaf of garlic bread. Yeah. And my dad went to go pick it up because it was taking a while to come out. And our family decided to eat it. My aunt and uncle got none of it. So, of course, I was like, you should probably pay for that since we didn't get slice. And my dad lost his absolute cool over it and stormed out of the restaurant. It took a few months for my family to kind of, you know, get their wedges through with

an apology, even though there was a needed one. So you're in a restaurant. Are you at one big table or are you at multiple tables? We were at one long big table. How did the garlic bread get demolished between your dad bringing it to the table and sitting it down in front of them? Well, we've got four of us who are siblings,

and he put it down in front of my two brothers and myself and my cousin. Right. And yeah, we were just like, oh, this is great. Garlic bread. We're going to eat this. We're hungry. Why didn't they just order more garlic bread?

Yeah, that's just pretty much what we were saying. But yeah, so my aunt and uncle just couldn't, yeah, they were like, weren't we're not gonna pay for it my dad was like no i'm not gonna pay for it i didn't order it but we ate it so it's just how it went wow it's easy like when you weren't there for us to sit back and be like this is nuts and like we could have easily resolved this but you know how if you're there it's wildly different yeah uh hey uh thanks you called, Crystal. Sam, why is your family feuding?

So, in the will, my grandma gave my mother a clock, like a normal clock, not valuable, bit of sentiment, and my great aunt was really unhappy about it. So, we still talk to her, but she wants that clock, so we have to hide it every time she visits.

Oh my god! So, she visits. Oh, my God. So she's been found in my mum's room, and mum's walked in and gone, oh, and she goes, oh, it's just not the bathroom. But why does your mum want the clock so bad? So my mum got it, and she was like, my mum wants me to have it for whatever reason. I'll do what my mum wanted. It's just a clock that my mum, my grandma had in her dresser my mum's like you know meaningful to her but my great aunt, she wants it Oh why do old people

Is this not the bathroom? Why do you better not have taken a shit in the corner Why do old people love clocks so much? I've got no idea but she and then she'll mention it and she got my sister One of my sisters a clock for her 21st birthday, and she said, you know, clocks are so meaningful. Oh!

How basic is that? Lots of sentimental value. And then she goes, just make sure you pass it on to, you know, your sister. Oh! And we were like, oh, Shay! Hey, Sam, thanks for your call. Some other messages in.

Someone said, I was at a wedding and I watched a family start a feud. Apparently later on it was about how much everybody was going to be chipping in for the wedding. The dad asked the question and everyone's like, well, no, this is your kid's wedding. We don't chip in. And then it turned into a drama

and they literally dragged their tables apart. And then stood there like pointing and staring and being real angry at each other. Apparently a couple of years later, still isn't resolved. That's pretty crazy. My grandfather passed away four years ago. Grandmother took it upon herself

to get mixed up with scammers online. When we tried to stop her, she thought the whole family didn't want her to be happy. Haven't spoken to her since. Oh, man. That's no good. She's, your inheritance is getting whittled away to Russia, isn't it? Yeah.

My stepsister invited my parents and my brothers to her wedding in Australia. Didn't invite me. My invite must have been lost. Haven't spoken to her since. She looked like a fat pavlova. Didn't miss much. Oh, my God. A fat pavlova. Didn't miss much. Oh my God.

A fat pavlova. We were at a family dinner and a huge family argument started over how we were going to split the bill. How would you do it if you went out with a family?

I'd just pay for what we ordered. Yours would be an interesting situation, Fletch, because you don't have kids. But let's say you went out with your family. I'd just pay for what we ordered. Okay, yours would be an interesting situation, Fletch, because you don't have kids. But let's say you went out with your mum and dad and your brother and his kids and you. How do you split the bill at the end of the night? Oh, just mum.

Mum would pay. Okay, that's good. But you pay for what you have. That would take too long. If we went out with my family, I'd just be like, let's split it. No. In whatever way. But you've If we were in my family, I'd just be like, let's split it. No. In whatever way.

But you've got more people in your party. And there's always someone who, like Vaughn, gets heaps of food. Yes, but I've got less kids, Megan, so I'm allowed more food. So it evens out. Yeah. It all comes out in the wash. We've all got that one friend that wants to itemise everything. That's me.

I know. Just because you didn't want entrees and then you had a pathetic salad don't you drag the rest of the party down. I only had a $13 salad and a water. And then everyone orders like three drinks and I'm paying for it. Stuff that. At Christmas, at our big

family Christmas, an argument started over a backyard sport. Oh yeah, okay. Probably some B.Y.C. Yeah, some backyard cricket at Christmas time. It ended up with people at the house screaming, I'm blocking you on Facebook and pulling out their phones and blocking each other on Facebook. What's happened?

I can kind of see how these things escalate. A few of our siblings are fighting. Oh, I'll read that one. A few of our siblings are fighting because my brother's on the run from the cops. He got denied my sister's bank details when he wanted to borrow some money for her, so spread rumors about her on Facebook. It's all go. It's absolutely all go.

Imagine that. Me and my sister don't talk to our mum's family. Oh, where did that one? They ghosted us after she left. Like, we were to blame for her leaving. Because, I mean, you're related by blood, but it doesn't mean you have to like them. And they're all different, aren't they?

Yeah. Not really the same as you. Somebody said, I can beat the Nana clock story. My Nana disowned her sister over a vase. They had a fight. It ended up getting smashed on the ground. And Nana's sister paid for it to be painstakingly repaste and now it's pride and joy

this ugly, huckery, broken vase. Why do people care about a vase? You said vase. Then I said it wrong. Vase? I say vase. I'll say vase. No, but it's not vase. Are we fighting?

I'm blocking you on Facebook if you don't agree with me. Pronounce vase right or we're no longer family. It's great news at the Smith Farmlet, which is just two paddocks. Variety of animals that we're not allowed to eat in it. It's not that the sheep have been drenched.

They've been drenched. No tapeworm at the Smith family. Is that what you were catching the sheep for? That's what I was catching the sheep for over the weekend. Just getting in some rugby practice gear. I thought it was a rugby World Cup related post. Give me cuddles. I did get some nice cuddles out of them.

So once you get them on their back and I was holding them and drenching them, they were a bit relaxed and you're like, have a little cuddle with the sheep. It's made of wool. Did you guys know that? Are they? Lovely. That's where wool comes from. Like a jersey.

Yeah, it was like cuddling a jersey. Yeah, okay. A living jersey. No, it wasn't that. It's chicken related. Yesterday, we got our first chicken egg. We've got eight chickens. We've had them for a couple of weeks, just over our first chicken egg. We've got eight chickens. We've had them for a couple of weeks, just over a couple of weeks.

And every day there's been the hike out and see if there's any chickens. Because it takes them a while to lay, doesn't it? Settling and yeah, they're officially called pullets before they, that's the stage of their life, like a teenager. Before they start laying the eggs, they're called pullets. Right. Are they moody? Moody teenagers. Yeah. Yeah, quite demanding,. Oh, okay. Before they start laying the eggs, they're called pullets. Right. Are they moody? Moody teenagers.

Yeah. Yeah, quite demanding, always hungry. Yeah. A lot like teenagers, but yesterday we had our first chicken egg. Right. And I videoed the girls as they went to discover the chicken egg. It looks like they're starting to lay because they're moving them. Did you put food in there?

No Let me see if it cracks There's a real egg in there Is it a real egg? Yes There is a real egg Can we eat it for dinner? Who was it?

I'm going to find out who it was Who laid this egg? The first person to come up wins. Okay, Kylie laid it. What did Kendall? What did Rob? Yeah, I think that it was Kendall. Kendall must have laid it.

You reckon? I'm so excited. So what egg? It definitely wasn't Rob. Have you captured the Kardashians and turned them into chickens? And forced them to be, you know, the Kardashian's. Right, yeah. They are all named after the Kardashians.

Right. Or members of the family. The gen is also included. Yeah. Many people confused as to Rob's gender. Yeah. But it's Rob. He just feels like a chicken.

But it's Robin. Oh, right. Okay, right. If any further questions are asked, it's Rob, but it's Robin. Okay, right. It's a female chicken. Yeah. And so I didn't know this.

Indy told me that, I don't know, she must have been watching a YouTube video. She watched a YouTube video yesterday and she was like, oh, this woman, she watches this woman

with a whole lot of snakes on YouTube. She's learning and she always watches animal videos and one of them, she said, oh, did you know

so-and-so with snakes, someone who watches their shows Pet rabbit died So she sent it in For the snake to eat How cruel is that? Like someone who subscribes To her channel Pet rabbit dies

Yeah And she's like I'm going to send that To the snake woman For the snake to eat So that Anyway And one of the other things

She told me is Apparently she said The redder the What is this part called? The mohawk The floppy bit On the top of the other things she told me is apparently she said the red of the, what is this part called? The mohawk. The floppy bit on the top of the chicken. The chicken mohawk. Yeah. Crown, gobbly, crown chicken hat.

It's got a name. It's got a fish name. Let's go with chicken hat. Okay. So apparently the chicken hat goes, yes. Oh, the comb. The comb. The chicken hat.

Yeah. Goes red. The reddest one. Oh, yeah. If they're not all red, is the one laying eggs. That one's laying. Isn't that crazy?

They get a little light. It's like a little light goes on. It goes, ding, I make eggs now. I love that August 1st was like, oh, can we eat this? Yeah. Straight away. I want to eat it.

We should have this for dinner. What are we going to do with this? Yeah. But yeah. So the reason she said there's three in there, we've had the little fake rubber eggs in there to show them where to lay. And I remember two people, they'll go nameless,

but two people said chickens lay eggs where they want and you won't be able to convince them otherwise. And well, the first egg that was laid was laid in the nesting box by the fake eggs. So I guess those two will remain nameless. We're wrong. Megan and I grew up with chickens and they will lay wherever they want. Yeah. They may start there.

They may start there. It sounds to me like you weren't disciplining your chickens. Give them a smack when they're naughty. Bad parenting. I'm behind the chickens. Right. I think you should be smacking your chickens. Didn't give them the opportunity.

Well, the rest of these chickens need to hurry up so I can get a free egg supply. Yeah. That's what needs to happen. Well, we've got one. We're waiting until there's more and we're going to have a sort of family scramble. Okay. Yeah, because at the moment it's just one punch. One egg, yeah. That's never enough. One egg's never enough.

No, it never is. Not even one boiled egg. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. A teenager has told off the world. Her name, I believe, although now we're not sure. No, because I've been calling her Greta Thunberg.

Because that's how we would say it, looking at it, but I heard her introduced in Swedish. In native tongue. And how it's said, and it's not even anything like that. I've looked it up on Wikipedia. Okay. In native tongue, this is how her name is said. It was a good day, but it was a good day.

And it was a good day. It was a good day. She's born! tongue, this is how her name is said. Vaughan! This is meant to be a joke. She would have you. We literally queued up, Greta, how it's said too. Vaughan, the Wikipedia how to say, not that one.ta, how it's said too. Vaughn, the Wikipedia how to say, not

that one. Okay, here it is. Vaughn! No, I've got it. Where do I find it? Oh, okay, here it is. Listen. See, my bet would be Greta Thunberg. Yeah. Greta Thunberg.

Greta Thunberg. Yeah. Greta Thunberg. Greta Thunberg. Thunberg. Thunberg. Greta. Greta Thunberg. Greta Thunberg. Greta Thunberg. It's spelt Berg, but it's very...

It's like different bloody languages have got different ways of saying bloody things. Why don't they speak in English in Sweden? That aside though, she is a remarkable teenager. She's 16. She's a climate activist, and she's been going around the world just campaigning. And as a backstory, if you didn't know, she one day took a day off school to protest

and demonstrate outside the Swedish parliament. And from there, other children, millions around the world, joined her. And that is why we have the movements on Fridays around the world that have been taking place. And even in New Zealand this Friday, happening again. Demanding action on climate change. Yeah. She has such a commanding way of speaking. She's 16 years old.

And she was at the United Nations Summit. Now, this is the one that she sailed because she didn't want a carbon footprint. Yeah. She sailed to a few weeks back. Yeah. She sailed to America. Yeah. How long did it take her? Two weeks. So she's

very well known for being an eloquent speaker putting together great speeches and stuff so I think they were expecting you know to hear something quite eloquent. But she told everybody off. For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away

and come here saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight. You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency, but no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that, because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe. How dare you pretend that this can be sold with just business as usual and some technical solutions.

With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than eight and a half years. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up and change is coming, whether you like it or not.

And she's 16. Like, can you ever remember doing speeches at school? Oh, yeah. I hated them. Like, hated them. Then you do a speech on doing speeches and how they suck. What annoys me is hearing a 16-year-old speak so eloquently and passionately and people are like, oh, she's just a mouthpiece.

She's just been told what to say. Well, I don't believe that she's been fully told what to say, but regardless that's a 16 year old showing passion for the world that we live on, like for the planet which is dying. What are you getting out of mowing her down by saying she's just a mouthpiece for somebody else? Everybody's a mouthpiece. Every politician's the mouthpiece for

who they represent. She had bullet points as well, so most of the time she's like delivering that, eyeballing the people in the room. Yeah. There's a great photo of President Trump walking past her, a video, and she just stares him down.

Oh, look at her face. So much sass. It's brilliant. And I believe Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern speaking at the UN as well on, or has,

or is about to. You know, exactly like school speeches before you. You wouldn't want to follow that up, would you? I know.

Yeah, exactly. You'd be like, man, can someone go between us? Good on her. Oh, up, would you? I know. Yeah, exactly. You'd be like, man, can someone go between us? Good on her. Oh, making people stand up and take notice.

It's awesome. And climate change strikes. School kids are getting involved. I mean, lots of people are getting involved. Students of all ages

are getting involved. Fridays for the Future is going to be Friday's strikes taking time out of school. And a lot of schools this time around are actually being

cool with it. Being like, well, it's actually quite nice to see young people showing a bit of passion for something. Yeah. And caring. And not just worrying about it. I mean, chances are there'll be a couple of picks on the gram from the protests.

But, you know, it's good to see some passion for some actual big issues. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about Uranus, the planet. Okay. For the first 70 years after it was discovered and officially a planet within our solar system, it was called George.

Yes. It was called George. Yes. It was called George because of King George III, who was the ruling monarch at the time. Okay. The man who discovered it, he was a German man, William Herschel. Yeah. He said that that's actually a planet. And King George was kind of the man that was kind of the leader and was really into astronomy at the time.

Yeah. And he said after Herschel discovered the planet, he would name an official court astronomer. And the king would say on a clear night, fetch your telescopes or I'll come to you. Yeah. We'll have a look at these stars. And so he's like, oh, you're into it.

I will name you Georgium Sidious. Sidious, Latin for the planet of George. And then everyone else is like, well, it doesn't really go with all the other ones we've got. We're all named after Greek and Roman entities. So that the name started floating around that it should be called Uranus, which was after an ancient Greek mythological god. And so 70 years after it had been called George, for 70 years, there was an official vote,

and it got changed to Uranus. It's a blow for all the Georges, isn't it? Huge blow for them. You had a planet named after you. They've had lots of kings. What's George at the moment? Is he a prince? Yeah, Prince George. Prince George. There's lots of Georges. There's kings. They've got a... Yeah. What's George at the moment? Is he a prince? Prince, yeah. Yeah, Prince George.

Prince George. There's lots of Georges. There's Good George. That's a fine drop from my hometown of Hamilton. I mean, there's lots of Georges still around. Had it not been for the planet,

you probably wouldn't have heard of Uranus. Why do you keep saying Uranus? Is it Uranus? Not Uranus? Well, I was trying to be a grime about it. That's what it's called.

Whenever I hear it on American things, it's probably your accent, but they say Uranus. That's because I don't want to say Uranus. Uranus. But it is Uranus, right? No, that's what it is. Well, if it's between your butt cheeks, it is, Meg. No, I'm confused now. Is that not what it's called?

I started saying Uranus a while ago because every time you say Uranusus it becomes more about the fact that you can put in the wikipedia how the the wikipedia actually on the wikipedia only how to say it doesn't it's uranus okay i don't know oh uranus there's two versions here uranus uranus why is your cord only going through the line it's a it's a boongy ox cord. The boongy ox cord's got to... I've got to hold it in the right place. Uranus. There, that's it.

Uranus. You said there's two, though. Yeah, I'll click on the other one. I'm going to go back. Here's the other one. No, I don't want that. Oh, my God. This one.

Uranus. See? Okay, so either are acceptable, but I just go Uranus because this is exactly what happens when you say Uranus. You get taken down this. You get your pathway. You laughed.

I was being serious about it. I thought the planet was called something different. I just go, yeah, I just go with Uranus. Okay. Let's rock that one around. You get to actually concentrate on the planet rather than the giggles. Uranus is more fun. So I've been told, Megan.

Okay, wrap this up. So today's fact of the day is that for the first 70 years after its discovery, Uranus was called George. See? So much more fun. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Hit it.

So. Oh, I do have tingles. Oh, I've got the tingles too. Wow. Tingly wingly. This will get you. Man, oh man. Thanks to everyone that text messaged in. We are aware of what weird tingly wingly Wednesday was

That was called taking the piss Probably not You know Obviously over a few people said But okay No we got you Thanks to your messages But I tell you what

We got a scary story for you It'll give you the tingles So We're doing some light renovations. I mean, that's scary enough as it is. Because it's money going out the door. So, that's scary for me. That's a scary part for me.

Yeah. But yesterday we were pulling down a wall and removing some jib board. Oh, my God. And one part of the wall, yeah, it was a dead mouse family. Oh, thank you. Tragedy struck. The mice crawled in a hole that was drilled to put electrical wiring through but never used.

And when they crawled in, they fell down and could never get back out. So the mum mouse had baby mice and then ate some of those baby mice to make another lot of baby mice. Because you could tell there was like this big one and then like they got progressively smaller. Anyway, there was lots of mummified mice. Also tell that Maggie doesn't read the group chat because there was a horrific photo of that in the group chat. This is why I don't read the group chat. It's all Vaughan's updates and half of them are grim.

Updates. Dead rats, dead mice. It's just grim. So you may remember some time ago, this house we moved into at the end of last year, I discovered this weird hole, this weird space in the wall. Remember that?

I kicked a hole. I took out some cabinetry and belted a hole in the wall and there was this weird space in there. I said, oh, that's weird. So it could be a trap door, a secret cupboard. Secret room. Well, it used to be a cupboard, but it had been plastered over. Why?

What have they got to hide? Well, yesterday, a hole got cut into it to ascertain the dimensions inside this hole. And when I got home, there was a little hole in the wall and I stuck my head in and I was like, this is interesting. I was looking all around. Yeah.

And on the top it said ceiling. I thought that was pretty self-explanatory. Sometimes builders just need to write it there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was it done in builder's pencil? Yeah. Roof. Wall.

Then I was looking further down done in builder's pencil? Yep. Roof. Then I was looking further down and in builder's pencil in the same handwriting was written Vaughan and Sade. How? In the space? In a space that had been sealed

for 10 years before we moved in was my name and my wife's name written on the wall in the same building pencil that had written ceiling. Was your name spelt right? No. Brilliant, even better. It never is But so they literally just cut this hole

And it reveals your name They cut the hole I went out to get something from the car Came back in Stuck my head in My name's on the wall I freeze. A chill runs up my spine. Goosebumps

cover my body. My nipples reach maximum erection. It's the ghost that lives in that space. Has somebody been sneaking into that space through the ceiling? Living in there? Because they've written ceiling on there because they know that's their way out

through the ceiling. Okay. So I pull out and I've got a shocked look on my face and I say to Sade, come and look at this. And she comes and she's like, what?

I'm like, stick your head in there and read what's on the wall. She sticks her head in and she's like, why does it say your name? Why does it? And we look at each other

and I'm like, how did they get there? We're whispering, we're freaking out. And I'm about to, you know, light some sage, babes, and crystals. Call a seance. Yeah. Get some answers. Yeah.

And the electrician says, I just wrote that there because I didn't want to forget your names. Brilliant, okay. So that's not even a scary story. So he cut the hole and then he thought we wouldn't go in there and he didn't want to write it on the outside. He felt really bad and he was going to forget our names and he's like well I'm the only one

going in there because it's like sorting out the wiring and stuff and if I write it out here they're going to be like why has he written our names on a wall

so he's like I wrote it in there to kind of hide it from you guys but you found it Flesh, Vaughan and Megan the podcast ZM

well you might remember in 2018 we did the census. We all filled out online. A lot of it was online, which some people weren't happy about because some of the older people don't like that and online sports. But they've actually started releasing some of the stats and figures from that census.

And next year, New Zealand will have 5 million people. Population. Okay. And it also shows we're getting a lot more diverse as well as a country. I've got some stats here. You've got some stat chat? I've got some stat chat. What would you like to touch on?

Some religion? Sure. There are 20,000 Jedis. That's been a running census joke, hasn't it? Well, I mean, the Jedis well outnumber the Destiny Church, who had apparently 1,700 members. Okay. Yeah, Ratana had more than 40,000,

so they absolutely smoke the old Destiny Church numbers as well. And 4,000 for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That's called a Pastafaria. Because famously that guy has a driver's license photo, doesn't he? Yes. With religious headwear on and it's the pastor's trainer. There

are a large amount of people with doctorates but then do they have to prove this? Because I could have put whatever it takes to super serious. They love to tell you they went to university, don't they? Yeah. More than a million people have NCEA levels one, two or three as their highest qualification. Okay.

This is good news for the health sector. More than two and a half million people say they've never been a regular smoker. Okay. They've never been a regular smoker. Okay. They've never smoked regularly. 830,000 say they have smoked but now have quit and don't smoke. And half a million people are still regular smokers. When was the census? Last year.

When? Start of the year? Because how many of those people will now be like, yeah, but I vape? Because vaping has increased a lot. Especially in the last six months even. The largest immigrant group by country is the British. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have 275,000 immigrants. Really?

Yep. That's more than China who have 141,000 people who live in New Zealand were born in China. Okay. And 120,000 people born in India now call New Zealand home. Okay. And yeah, as you said, next year we're hitting 5 million, which seems to have snuck up a bit. It's going up faster, isn't it?

Yeah. 1.4 million people get to work in a private vehicle. Hundreds of thousands in a company vehicle. 150,000 people really take a bus or train. That many walk and 50,000 cycle. See, I love getting all these stats, but I remember saying at the time of the census, they don't ask enough juicy, interesting questions.

What do you want that's juicy? I don't know, but you've got all these people filling out all this stuff. You might as well chuck in a few. Chuck in a few great questions. What do you want that's juicy? I don't know, but you've got all these people filling out all this stuff. You might as well chuck in a few. Chuck in a few great questions. Purely interesting ones. Like favourite ice cream flavour. Imagine if we could know that. But they know that by how many ice creams are sold.

They can tell that by sales stats. Okay, fair call. But you've got to ask stuff like, do you stand up or sit down to wipe? Right, yeah, exactly. I only just recently found out some people remain seated. But I don't know. You've got to ask stuff like, do you stand up or sit down to wipe? Great. I only just recently found out some people remain seated. Oh, I only just found out that some people stand up. I know. It's madness.

We didn't know that about us. We stand up. And now I want to know if more people stand up. Your butt cheeks go back together. No, you get a better wipe. You stand and you spread, Megan. You stand and you spread. You already spread if you sit down.

If I am sitting down, I'm going to wipe it up my back and get it on my wrist. How is that different to standing up? Well, I've got more control. I can go in from an outer angle without hitting the toilet bowl. Why would you stand up and then your cheeks go back together? I had it from a strong... They don't go back together. I'm so baffled.

They don't go back together. I'm so baffled by people that stand up and wipe. This is why we need the census data. I can't fathom it. Yeah, no. Wouldn't that be an interesting census question? Yeah, because I need to know I'm in the majority for that. How often?

I mean, they don't all have to be poo-based. I'm just kind of going down that road. How many times a day do you poo? Because Megan will go two or three like a rabbit. It's regular. Lots of fibre. Get it going. I just can't believe more than once a day.

I'm a once a day guy. Too much meat. It's all stuck up just can't believe more than once a day. I'm a once a day guy unless I've had... Too much meat. It's all stuck up in there. Unless I've had... A buffet. A buffet. Like a lot. A lot.

Then there might be a couple of trips. Yeah, like sometimes at the weekend I'll wake up and I'll be like, oof, and have a coffee and get it going. And then in the afternoon I'll be like, hello. You have to rely on having a coffee to get it going. And then you need to check yourself. No, but it just really kickstarts it. A few more veggies, mate.

Wouldn't go astray bit of fibre I love the veg alright ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast if you enjoyed this podcast why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too
