My mum, I forgot about this earlier in the week.
Mum and Dad came up at the weekend.
And my mum's one of those people that is amazing at remembering
what she's got to bring up.
I always forget.
I'll always get to mum and dad and be like, oh, shit, I was going to bring that.
The kids.
I was going to do that.
I don't know.
Do you want to see the kids?
I've got the kids.
I've got the kids.
Yeah.
So she did bring something up because she said she found this for you.
Apparently.
This is for me.
This is for you.
Wow.
Because she found Minions toothpaste with your name on it
It'll be like bubblegum flavour
It's mild mint
Okay
Apparently
Because they've got very good friends called
His name's Stewie
And so there's a minion called Stew
And so she buys the Minions toothpaste to try to find Stew
Do they have names?
Wait, wait
The Minions?
Because she's written my name on the box.
Carl, she's opened it.
I think she's resealed it.
Oh, she's opened it?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It says my name.
What?
Yeah.
It says Carl.
Oh, my God.
Is that actually...
Branded.
What minion?
Carl.
There is a minion called Carl.
Well, that's him.
Which is my first name. People are like, what? Is your name not Fletcher? Yeah. Fletcher There is a minion called Carl. Well, that's him. Which is my first name.
People are like, what?
Is your name not Fletcher?
Yeah.
Fletcher Fletcher.
No, it's Carl.
Carl Fletcher.
Mild mint gel toothpaste.
Six designs to collect.
Can you have a little taste to see how mild it is?
Oh, it's that glossy blue type.
Good?
Oh, yeah, it's a good toothpaste.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you can't use it all because then it will be gone.
Six plus years. Carl, I, yeah. But you can't use it all because then it will be gone. Six plus years.
Carl.
That's you.
I scrape in.
Which minion is Carl?
Indespicable me, Carl is a plump two-eyed minion with spiky hair.
No, but this is a one-eyed minion.
Yeah, that's a one-eyed minion.
Don't ever call me plump again.
There's another one.
It's been a long pandemic, okay?
A plump two-eyed minion with spiky hair.
What a description of someone.
Yeah, but then every other minion I'm seeing, I've looked up Carl.
This is another minion called Carl, and that's the guy that's on your.
Yeah, that's the one there.
He's one-eyed, spiky hair.
He's a plump one-eyed minion with spiky hair.
I am so excited.
Tell your mum thank you so much.
Yeah, tell her yourself.
Tell her what she bought me.
Fuck all!
Oh, you're not going to gift.
Oh, she bought her a chocolate cake, but that wasn't for me.
But I've eaten a lot of it.
Right.
Yeah, you did.
Well, don't eat.
Vaughn's the two-eyed plop minion with no spiky hair.
Just a beard.
A minion, I do need representation in the minion world.
A minion with a beard. That would be really great. representation in the minion world. A minion with a beard.
That would be really great.
Where would the beard go, though?
They've got no chin.
True.
Under the mouth.
It would look like pubes.
It would look like pubes popping up out of the...
That's a good...
Do minions have penises?
No, they are a penis.
No, they're a tic-tac, aren't they?
How do minions breed?
How do minions...
I don't know. How do minions breed? How do minions reproduce?
How do minions reproduce?
Additionally, the director confirmed that minions cannot reproduce
or divide themselves in any way to create more minions.
Well, how are they created?
That's it.
I mean, we've got a limited supply of minions.
Yeah, you know, if you did a deep dive into the internet,
you'd find some fan fiction or graphics.
Oh, you don't have to dive that deep.
Before this, we turn to Jared.
What rule on the internet is it?
Oh, bullshit.
You know, there's a rule.
There's a bunch of rules for the internet.
Internet rule 39 or 27?
35.
34.
Oh, now he knows.
Rule 34 of the internet is if it exists, there's adult versions of it.
Oh, right.
There's porn of it.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, it's rule 34 of the internet. There's's adult versions of it. Ah, right. There's porn of it. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's rule 34 of the internet.
There's a whole lot of it.
You should look up the internet rules just to be aware of what a deprived, sick place it is.
Okay.
But don't look it up.
Minions-wise.
Thank you, Sam.
Good morning.
Welcome to the show.
So, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
Thursday morning.
Oh, nearly there. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fleet, Schmorn and Hayley. Thursday morning. Oh, nearly there.
Nearly Friday.
Nearly.
Nearly.
Nearly.
Now, guys, don't be alarmed that I look so cool this morning.
You're wearing your sunnies?
I'm wearing my sunnies.
I've just got a bit of a headache.
With your cardi vest.
I've got a new sweater vest.
Yeah, sweater vest.
It's great.
Is that a new sweater vest?
New sweater vest. It's great. Is that a new sweater vest? New sweater vest.
That's great.
I assumed it was an older vintage sweater vest.
A brand new.
Where'd you get it from?
Koto.
New Zealand brand, though.
Support local.
Okay, knitted.
Ethical fabrics.
Yeah, good start.
Merino?
Local Merino, is it?
I couldn't tell you.
You don't know that.
You know it's ethical, but we can't tell me.
I don't know what those sheep thought of the whole situation.
I'm thinking more about I look cool, not just because of my sweater vest, my glasses.
I just went to bed so early last night, 7.30.
But you've got a headache or a migraine.
Just like an eyeball headache.
Right.
Yeah.
So the sunglasses will fix that?
I think so.
Will you say you need a drink, water or a Prosecco?
Because you said you did have a bottle of Prosecco last night.
I did have a bottle of Prosecco.
That could have helped you cause the headache.
No, that's rookie headache numbers.
Yeah.
Sproul's experienced.
No, no, no.
That didn't do her.
Maybe too much sleep, which sounds weird,
but sometimes when you're tired and you sleep too early
and you sleep too much, you do get a headache.
Well, I only had eight hours.
Okay.
Hmm.
All right, well, you're refreshed and ready to go in your sweaty vest.
Brain cancer?
I think I am dying.
Okay.
That'd be great.
God, that'd really backfire on us, though, wouldn't it, in a once time?
If I'm like, oh, it was, yeah.
It was.
I'd be like, oh, no, But at the same time, I did guess.
You did guess, yeah.
You'd be like, I win.
Coming up on the show, the top six.
Yeah, the top six signs you're being served by a 13-year-old.
Australia, once again, kind of toying with this idea of getting children working in responsible positions.
Yeah, like retail jobs.
Because like us, they're struggling to fill a lot of jobs, aren't they?
Yeah.
In Aussie.
Is their age 14 like ours?
14's the legal age.
I didn't know there was.
I didn't know.
I have never really thought about it.
Like, I know lots of like my friends used to get jobs
at like Macca's or something after school.
At 14?
Or like, no, it was more like 15, 16.
Yeah, I can't remember.
I can't remember 16.
Yeah.
14 was a paper run.
Yeah.
The milk run.
Like some delivery stuff, helping people out.
Like you could do that at 13, 14.
Yeah, never really like a front facing.
I don't know where I got the name, the age of 14 from.
In New Zealand, there's no general minimum age for employment,
but there are rules against the times young people can work.
Generally the minimum age is around
13. Okay.
I had a paper run at 11?
11 or 12 maybe?
Yeah I think paper runs different.
Yeah. I did it
like 5 days a week and I think I made $3.50
a week or something. Wild eh?
Wild. I used to get the pay slips
at the end of each week and be like,
yes!
And then you ring the paper
to get them to do a story
on the fact that you're a youth worker
who's getting, you know,
absolutely pummeled
in the wages department
and they refuse to print it
because it's them that's doing it.
I know.
It's the media, man.
Yeah, it's the media for you, isn't it?
It's the media.
All right, well,
it's coming up in the top six.
Next on the show, though.
Phones.
News alert. They're not good for you. Again. But it's coming up in the top six. Next on the show though. Phones. News alert.
They're not good for you. Again.
But here's a new reason why they're not good for you. Alright, great.
We've heard it before.
There are blue light, which is
the light of your phones and your
laptops. The bright
light. Is this the light that you're meant to have after a certain time of the day?
Like it gets to six o'clock at night.
You've got to get rid of it.
And you get rid of it so your phone looks a bit dull and then you're able to go to sleep easier?
Yeah, lots of laptops and phones.
I know the Macs do have an inbuilt kind of blue light thing.
Like a night mode, eh?
A night mode that as it gets later in your day,
it kind of dims the blue light
and it goes a bit more orange.
Right.
Or you can get an app,
like I use that Flux app
that makes it really orange,
sucks all the blue out.
Because they've said for years
that it's bad for your eyeballs.
Yeah.
It can give you headaches
and it can deteriorate your eyes.
But now there's been some research.
This is the first research of its kind.
They used fruit flies.
So, you know, I'm sure they're interchangeable with humans.
Yeah, you can't go wrong with fruit flies.
You can't go wrong with a fruit fly.
We can't do it on monkeys anymore.
I think those days are past.
Yeah.
So the humble fruit fly is now the victim of animal testing.
Monkeys would look way cooler in blue blocker sunglasses.
Yeah, they would.
Blue light sunglasses.
Flies, they've got too many eyes as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're all eyes.
How many eyes does a fruit fly have?
Don't they have like hundreds?
I'll spot out the oranges on the bench.
Yeah, yeah.
So they can burrow into them.
So they can have a little.
I know other flies have lots of eyes, don't they?
My favourite thing about flies is how they rub their hands together.
Yeah.
You know, and they like
pick up their little finger.
Scheming.
Yeah.
The fruit fly has two neural
super composition compound eyes.
Which is two.
So they've got two.
Yeah, but within that eye
it might be like
multiple surfaces.
Like one of those sort of magic
those magic
kaleidoscope things.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, they did this test on
with blue light and they used a really
strong blue light
on these fruit flies and it did
show signs of ageing.
And I don't know how you measure
signs of ageing in a fruit fly.
Right. Some crow's feet, wrinkles.
Yeah, right. We've got to trust the scientists, don't we?
We do. They said they're the first
and this is the first research of its kind
to show that levels of specific metabolites,
which are chemicals that are essential
for cells to function correctly,
are altered in the fruit flies
when they're exposed to blue light.
So it's the cells start to deteriorate.
And that's what ageing is,
is your cells deteriorating slowly but surely.
The blue light is also ageing us.
So it's ageing us.
It's ageing our faces.
Okay, so wait. What do we do
at night? Have a bright screen
and just go to bed later because we
have exposed ourselves to all this bright light.
No, it's the opposite.
We don't have bright light.
You don't have bright light.
This one was like blue light
interrupts your
sleep, right? That's what they say. Don't have it
because it messes with your circadian rhythm
But this one is like
Blue light
At any time of the day
So right now
Me looking at this screen
Any time
Okay
Is aging me
But then why
Did 50 year olds
In the 1950s
Look like 100 year olds
Do now
Because they didn't have screens
I was reading an article
About this
Like why people
Used to look older
Yeah I can't remember the gist of it It's probably because They were on the ciggies though Every half an hour Because they didn't have screens. I was reading an article about this, like why people used to look older. Yeah.
I can't remember the gist of it.
It's probably because they were on the ciggies though,
every half an hour.
They'd be typing at their typewriters.
They didn't have skincare.
They didn't have sunblock.
Yeah.
I reckon no sunblock would have played a massive part in it.
Yeah, absolutely.
But my grandfather was a painter, like a house painter.
And by the time he was on his last years,
he had so much cut out of him
because you know like nose bits and ears cut off.
Oh, old boys loved that. Loved the top of an egg on from Skin Cancer didn't they?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Chunk of the nose.
Alright, 14 past six, next on the show. New Zealand, we have a few options for
streaming on how to watch shows online. I'm not talking about streams, although we
do have a few of those too.
Some good streams. Some very heavily
polluted streams. I saw that
some Taranaki streams earlier this week
had something like eight times the recommended
amount of one of the bad things.
How do you tell the difference between a stream and a river?
In a river? Pure size.
Little. Little? Little is a stream.
Stream is a little. Yeah.
Little's a stream. Stream a little stream Yeah little's a stream Stream a little stream
Yeah
If you can get a boat up
And it's a river right
Yeah
That's how I do it anyway
But streaming services
Where to watch TV shows
And movies and stuff
If you've ever wondered
What one is most popular
In New Zealand
I've got a little breakdown
For you next
Play
ZM's
Fletch
Vaughn
And Hayley
Well it's
Something I've wondered about
What the most popular
Streaming services In New Zealand are.
And now I've got some answers.
Thanks to Nelson.
Oh, classic surveyors.
The surveyors.
Yeah.
Leslie Nelson and Roy Morgan,
two comedic geniuses, got together
and they give us surveys and results
and all that stuff now.
Isn't Leslie Nelson dead?
Yes.
Yeah.
That's what makes him so amazing.
What were his famous movies?
Top Gun.
Naked Gun.
No, Naked Gun.
Airplane.
Airplane.
Airplane was great.
My favourite.
Such a good movie.
I mean, problematic now.
That movie could never.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Never be made now.
Anytime someone says, are you serious?
I always think, I am serious.
Don't call me Shirley.
Surely you can't be serious.
I am serious.
Don't call me Shirley.
So despite all the Netflix backlash, it's still number one,
and it's actually gone up, which is surprising
because it's the one that I would watch the least
at the moment. I've got one
of those TVs. I'm all about Neon and Disney
Plus at the moment. Yeah, me too.
Me too, but I
I've got one of those TVs
that has like a Netflix button
on the remote. Yes. Oh.
You know what I mean? That they did that for a while. Otherwise
you've got to go to the apps and then choose your other ones.
Yeah, I've got a Netflix button and an Amazon Prime button
and then one that's like my app and you can program the my app button to be whatever one
you want yeah okay so I still haven't figured out how to do that right man I'm gonna do
that one day yeah um so yeah Netflix paid TV watched paid TV in the last four weeks.
In 2022, Netflix had 2.8 million New Zealanders aged 15 and over watching it.
That's 67% of the New Zealand population aged over 15 years of age
has watched Netflix in the last four weeks.
Disney Plus is second at 1.1.
Man, that hasn't
taken them long.
That's a huge difference between first and second.
They've been around for ages.
Yeah. Then
Neon is at half a million.
Amazon Prime's
just behind them as well. They're sitting at about half
a million. And then Sky Sport
Now, Spark Sport and other
paid TV subscription provider. They need
to work on that name. That's a long name.
So is that like TVNZ Plus?
Yeah, so TVNZ
Plus is free. You don't
pay for it. So that's not
included. Right. Oh, because it's got
ads. Somebody was here recently.
They were like a well-known person
that came to New Zealand
and they were like,
I've just heard
that this is free.
And they were like,
look at all these BBC shows
that are for free.
It's so good.
There's some good content
on there.
Yeah, some great content.
Yeah, all the BBC stuff.
Yeah.
Lots of movies.
And they get some
American shows and stuff.
You just have a little ad every now and then. Yeah. You gotta have a little ad get some American shows and stuff. You just have a
little ad every now
and then.
Yeah.
You gotta have a
little ad.
You get a little
ad in your bag.
Also it's still
less ads than
terrestrial television.
Yeah.
Do they have the
numbers of who
was watching paid
television like
live to air?
Live.
You mean have
you been paying
attention?
Like have you been
paying attention on
Tomorrow Night
8.30 on 2?
Nah.
Sorry.
I think just people
in rest homes. Yeah I think it was like maybe like 11,000.30 on 2. Nah. Sorry. I think just people in rest homes.
Yeah, I think it was like maybe like 11,000.
Big rest home energy.
TVs in waiting rooms at the hospital, that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
So people are still watching the show.
Yeah.
Well, that's good.
No, that's good.
That's really good.
Bye.
Bye.
You go.
Play.
ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Play. ZM. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.

Silly little Paul.
Silly little Paul.
It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little Paul.
Silly little Paul.
Silly little Paul.
Silly little Paul.
Silly little Paul.
Today's sillyilly Little Poll.
Today's Silly Little Poll is going out for dinner,
split the bill or pay for what you ordered.
This is, it's a divisive.
It's really, it's awkward.
And this was, I believe a listener sent this in.
Yeah, a listener suggested.
I feel like they've been in this situation maybe last weekend
where there was some unfair sharing of the BYO bill.
I had a side salad and a cup of milk,
and you all had cocktails and the steak.
If I went to dinner and someone was like,
can I get a glass of milk?
I'd be like, one of us has got to leave.
It's just a shame I liked you.
For me, it depends who you're with.
I never go out for dinner with anybody that eats less than me,
so split, split, split.
No, but I mean in terms of maybe their financial position.
Right.
So you have a little bit of a roundtable chat about wages and post-tax earnings,
how much you're putting into your KiwiSaver.
No, but you can tell.
You know what I mean?
You can tell.
What if they've got flies around them? They're your friends. Holes in their clothes. Yeah, they you can tell. You know what I mean? You can tell. What if they've got, like, flies around them?
They're your friends.
Holes in their clothes.
Yeah, they're your friends.
You know, right?
Yeah.
I'm the same.
Yeah, but what if they're also
wearing a brand new $400
Aneen Bing hooded sweatshirt
and then they want to
split the bill
because times are tough?
Bullshit.
I know that costs $400.
You're not prioritising food.
Yeah, but they can't
go up to the counter
and take the jumper off their back and say,
is this a fair exchange?
But then there are people like you
who eat way more than some other people.
Yeah.
And if you're, maybe you're on a journey to health
and you go out with your friends and you have...
Well, don't go out for dinner then!
And you have a salad...
The rule is we are out to be gluttons.
Yes.
You have a salad and maybe you don't do the corkage.
Oh!
I can't do that.
The corkage is split.
Because even if you're not drinking, you benefit
from me drinking because I'm more fun. Right.
Okay. So that's the corkage that you have to pay.
Well, today's silly little poll. Do you
split? 61% said
only pay for what you ordered. 39%
said split it
evenly.
Travis, here comes
big, dick energy Travis. Big debit card. Travis. Here comes big, dick energy Travis.
Big debit card energy Travis.
No hands.
He says,
or take turns paying for the whole thing.
Whoa.
Oh, yeah, that's big dick energy.
That's big debit card energy.
But Travis is like,
yeah, we're going to go to,
you know, a little Chinese joint.
And it costs him a couple hundred bucks. And then next time, Travis is like, hey, we're going to go to a little Chinese joint. And it costs him a couple hundred
bucks. And then next time, Travis is like, hey,
Steve, it's your turn to share. God, I feel like a steak.
Should we go to a steakhouse? Yeah, what's Al
Brown doing these days? Yeah.
And it costs like $500 for the whole
table. Yeah. Yeah, no, you can't do that.
Travis is really waving his debit card in everybody's face.
Megan
says, if you're out with one friend
or up to three couples, split it, but if it's a bigger group
then you pay your own
Yeah, okay, yeah, I agree with that
when you've got a big birthday party, BYO
situation. Yeah, because what if
at one end of the table
the gals all were slamming espresso martinis
while old mate at the other end was on tap beers
and sharing a mate. Yeah, that's the other
the other thing that, that's a bring cash
situation in my mind too.
Although, to be honest,
a lot of places now just do one payment per table
and it's just better if someone just puts it on
maybe Travis Springs' big debit card energy.
His hefty F-poss.
And then you just take a photo of the receipt
and tell everyone to pay you back
and one person pays.
Yeah, we did that the other night, didn't we?
Yeah, you just pay for what you want
and that's kind of the easiest way.
Yeah.
Okay, that works.
Rebecca says, with our main group of friends, we're always split.
We've been friends for 20 years plus, so it's just natural.
But if we were going out with new friends, we'd probably just pay for what we ordered.
Yeah.
It's that moment, though, at the counter that's awkward, isn't it?
And how would you like to pay?
No, I only had two spring rolls.
You had six. Oh, it's got to be discussed before you you like to pay? No, I only had two spring rolls. You had six.
Oh, it's got to be discussed
before you get up to pay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's almost got to be discussed
before dinner.
Yeah.
Upon meeting.
Yeah.
Hey, great to see you.
Great to see you.
I'm only paying for what I ordered.
Great start to the evening.
Be that person.
Nancy said,
just find friends that eat
the same amount of stuff as you
and like to share their plate with you and then split the bill.
Yep.
That's why we work well going out for dinner.
Because we'll just eat a lot.
And we always go to places that do things a little bit differently.
Where we like to share.
We do things a little differently.
Have you eaten here before?
No, we haven't.
No.
Well, we do things a little bit differently.
Our plates are all designed to be shared.
Things kind of come out as they're ready.
Oh, my God, that's so different.
And in a vatour.
They do everywhere else.
Where is it?
2007?
This is amazing.
Literally everyone is doing that.
My parents still don't like doing that.
Oh, don't they?
No, Mum's like, I kind of was just like having my own meal.
I'm like, Mum, this is the way we're doing it.
She's like, I'll try.
But are they worried that pudding's going to come out first?
No, no, no. Then they're just worried
that I might get something.
There might be four dishes on the table that Mum
doesn't like. So she's relegated to
garlic bread. Which even then,
it might be a bit spicy.
A bit spicy? Yeah.
So she's worried she's going to miss out.
Naomi says,
kids meals and directly related alcoholic tendencies
make our bill way too big to be shared.
Ah, that's a good, if kids are there,
you're just paying for your family, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Or if you're dining with another family with the same amount of kids.
Yeah.
Then you can split.
Yeah, then you can split.
We go out with friends and they've got one less child than us.
But then the dad always makes a big deal about having a couple extra beers.
To make up a child's worth of beers.
It's like, look, I love this maths.
Amy, splitting it evenly just makes it easier for everybody,
especially if you shit at maths.
I mean, that's a fair call.
Julie says, unless the others are taking the piss, you'll split it evenly.
I think you can also get apps as well where you put in the bill
and then all your friends kind of get an amount sent to you.
Oh, yeah.
Is that a thing?
Gemma says, when it's just me and my boyfriend, we split it down the middle.
A group setting definitely paid for what you had.
Times are tough, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fair call.
There you go.
Silly little poll. Oh, Splitwise. Is that the app? Splitwise. Yeah. Cool. There you go. Silly little poll.
Oh, Splitwise.
Is that the app?
Splitwise.
Oh.
Splitwise.
Do you use this, producer Anna?
Are you a big Splitwiser?
What do you do?
That one's not plugged in.
Okay.
Um, no.
My friends do it.
You worked in radio long?
You might want to get a bit closer to that microphone.
Jesus Christ.
Wow.
And you call yourself an executive producer.
No, please, go on.
Wow.
Too close.
Halfway in between.
I hate you.
Now, there is a bit of an issue.
Well, there was a bit of an issue with a Christchurch BP on Rustley Road.
I don't know. A Rustley Old Road. It's a Rustley Old Road.
Anyway, a major problem.
So people, this affected 14
motorists over the space
of, I believe... I know which one it is.
It's that massive one on the corner.
Rust...
Did you just describe a service station as the massive one on the corner of the main... They're all massive and they're all on the corner. Did you just describe a service station
as the massive one on the corner of the main street?
They're all massive and they're all on the corner.
So Rustley Road is that road
that runs out towards the airport.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, that's that big one you get on.
It's got a real motorway vibe to it at one stage.
Then with the Antarctic Centre.
And you get, and then you turn left
and then the airport and the Antarctic Centre are there.
Okay.
Anyway, that one, the big one on the corner.
So for 14 hours, one of the pumps was pumping out the wrong kind of petrol.
Meaning that cars that thought they were filling their cars with 91,
normal, regular 91 fuel, were filling it with diesel.
Oh, okay.
Because it wouldn't have mattered if it had been like this 95 or 98 or whatever.
No, you just get a nicer petrol.
You get a nicer petrol.
No, they were filling it with diesel.
Oh.
So, like, for example, one woman filled up her car on the way to work
and then she was in the middle of busy traffic
and then all of the lights on the dashboard came up.
It was like juddering, and the car just came to a stop.
Because it just doesn't work.
It's so bad for the car.
And then she...
So they don't have to buy her a new car now?
No, they have to drain it.
They drain it and give it a bit of a clean,
and then you can put petrol in it.
Because have you ever seen those machines sometimes
that come to the service station, Mr. Sucky or whatever,
and they're for people that put the wrong petrol in their car.
And they suck it out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But what if it gets into the engine a bit?
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, she did drive for a little bit.
Yeah.
And it would use that, what, remainder of the petrol before it was like.
I would be, I'd be asking for a new car.
Yeah. I'd certainly try it on.
So they had, I mean, they've been a bit quiet, let's just say that.
But this was yesterday.
And they haven't really gone back to these people.
But they've sent them these forms to say, you've got to fill this out and send us a photo and blah, blah, blah.
And they'll obviously pay for everything.
So they could easily find out because they'd have security cameras.
Yeah, totally.
So it was 14 cars in total that filled their cars
with diesel instead of petrol.
So if that was you and you were filling up
yesterday at the big one
by the intersection.
Rustly. Yep, then
you might want to just check.
So they have, I think that they're
like basically they can't give 91 at the moment.
There's a problem with all of them. Well they need
to clean out the whole tank now, wouldn't they?
Yeah, the regular 91 supplies remain unavailable
since the issue on Tuesday this week.
They're being investigated at the moment.
They're proactively working with Impacted Customers to resolve this issue.
Right, that's just their one pump.
So putting diesel in a petrol tank can cause damage
by blocking up the catalytic converters.
And if the car continues to run for a long time,
the diesel can fill up the oil sump.
Oh, yeah, the oil sump.
Oh, the oil sump gets filled up with the catalytic converters.
How does it get into the oil sump?
Through the catalytic converters.
Yeah.
There's a little hole.
There's that little hole.
There's that hole.
The catalytic hole.
And it stuffs it all up.
So anyway, that's $1,400.
Just me explaining that to you.
Yeah, yeah.
Hi there.
Today's top six. Hi there. Today's top six.
Australia looking at filling their retail shortage with children as young as 13.
Yeah, so their labour laws, the Australian retailers want the government to change their labour laws
to determine at what age children can start paid work because they can't at 13.
But what's the point?
I mean, yes, on the weekends, I get it.
But, like, they'd finish school at 3, get to the shop by 4,
the shop closes at 5.
Yeah, I think it would also be, like, maybe you fast food as well,
and hospo maybe.
Yeah, right.
When I was 13, I'd be terrible in a shop.
I was a goth.
Dude, everybody would have been terrible in a shop at 13.
Like, if you weren't awkward, you were a prick.
Yes.
If you weren't a prick, you were, yeah,
just you couldn't look at an adult in the eyes to speak to them.
I always remember friends,
but maybe they were like 16, 17 working like after school fast food
in some retail.
But yeah.
Us have been older.
But Australia had the same problem as us at the moment. after school fast food in some retail. But yeah. It must have been older.
But Australia had the same problem as us at the moment.
Just so many job vacancies
and just the people just aren't there.
So they're like,
well, let's tap into these 13, 14 year olds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you'd be cashed up.
Oh yeah.
Imagine doing...
I remember even
when people were moving to Australia
to just work in retail.
Yeah.
Because the retail hourly rate was...
Better than like an office job in New Zealand.
Yeah.
Get people so cashed up.
So the top six signs you've been served by a 13-year-old.
Number five on the list.
Ah, number six on the list of the top six signs you've been served by a 13-year-old.
They're ram-raiding their own shop.
Yeah. Don't give them the keys. They're ram-raiding their own shop. Yeah.
Don't give them the keys.
They're just like, boss, I'm going to take my break.
Oh, no, a 13-year-old seems like you're not locking up.
No, or cashing up.
When you were allowed to lock up, but you didn't lock up one day?
Yeah, I didn't lock up.
And I just got to work the next day and opened the roller door
and nothing had happened.
I was like, well, that's lucky.
Wow.
Yeah, they're like, boss, I'm going to take my break now. Boss is like, well, that's lucky. Wow. Yeah, they're like, boss, I might take my break now.
Boss is like, okay.
Ramp!
I'm back, but I'm also ramming around in the store.
This is a very confusing thing for you, I get that, as a boss.
But I'm 13.
But I'm 13.
You know, I'm unpredictable.
Number five on the list of the top six signs you're being served by a 13-year-old.
You're not being served by a 13 year old because they're just doing
a TikTok dance real quick, they'll be there real soon.
Oh they would too, especially
in retail with like the cool
clothes and the mirrors and
stuff. Yeah, they're like I'm just gonna
do one over here, oh god I'll be
there soon.
Hang on.
I'm coming on. Number four on
the list of the top six signs you've been served by a 13-year-old.
They guess your age and they guess that you're 55 even though you're only 40.
Kids are terrible.
How old are you?
How old do you think I am?
Never say that to a kid.
Oh, yeah, because they think you're like 60 or something.
They'll be like, hmm, 80?
You dumb little.
Number three on the list of the top six signs
you're being served by a 13-year-old.
You tell them you want to pay with cash
and they call you a boomer.
You are a boomer if you're paying with cash, to be fair.
I'll pay with cash.
Okay, boomer.
What a Karen.
Or they ask for, like, the credit card.
Machine.
Remember that?
Yeah.
If the F-poss was down.
Yeah, or if you gave them something on App Pro. Do you remember App that? Yeah. We had that. If the F-poss was down. Yeah, or if you gave them
something on App Pro.
Do you remember App Pro?
No.
You could go into a store
and take clothes home
but not pay for them
and try them on
with other things
in your wardrobe
and then bring them back
and then pay for them
but you'd do it like a
of their credit card.
Who's trusting people with that?
Designer clothing stores
in Wellington.
That's insane.
So you'd take an imprint
of their credit card
in case they didn't come back.
Yeah, and then you'd charge it.
Right.
What if it was a stolen credit card?
You'd charge it.
Amazing.
What if it had no credit left on it?
You're stuffed.
Number two on the list of the top six signs
you've been served by a 13-year-old.
They're constantly telling you they're hungry
like it's your problem.
Yeah.
It's a great...
I'm hungry.
I mean, cool.
Does your manager have to say, there's fruit in the bowl?
Yeah, or your manager says, hi, hungry, I'm manager.
Yes.
I'm hungry.
Number one on the list of the top six signs you've been served by a 13-year-old.
You ask them to do something and they say, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my mum.
Yeah.
Even though if their mum asked them to do something and they say, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my mum. Yeah. Even though if their mum asked them to do something,
they wouldn't do it either.
They'd say, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my boss.
Yeah.
To the mum and then to the boss, it's the you're not my mum.
Yeah.
It's a very confusing paradox.
That is today's top six.

The Women in Technology Awards.
These are international awards, actually,
but I believe they're based in the United Kingdom. Okay. Dawn and Hayley. The Women in Technology Awards. These are international awards, actually,
but I believe they're based in the United Kingdom.
Okay.
And they have released their 2022 finalists for the Women in Technology Awards.
So these are women in the field of technology.
Yes, and there's lots of different categories
for the awards for women in technology.
One of the categories...
I bet they'd know if you'd been in incognito browsing.
Oh, they'd know.
They'd know.
Smart wee chickies.
They'd get home and be like,
why is the last hour of internet history missing?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Let me check the cache.
Oh, no, look at that.
No, because...
The cache is empty.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh.
I just haven't been...
You haven't been using the computer for an hour.
Yeah.
Okay.
Why are the curtains pulled?
I don't know.
Why are you not wearing any pants?
What is this?
The woman in interior design?
Let's get out of here.
Tell me more about the tech.
Anyway, so this year, one of the categories has caused a little bit of a stir.
See if you can pick it.
I'll name the finalists.
There's four finalists.
What category is this?
This is a category that recognises the tireless efforts
of unsung heroes championing diversity, inclusion, equality
and belonging in the STEM community.
Right.
As part of the Women in Tech.
STEM is a thing that they teach at school.
Science, technology, evolution and maths.
He wasn't right, but, you know, the rest of them
were there. Science, technology.
Electronics?
STEM.
Give it to me. Science, technology,
engineering and mathematics. Yeah, there we
go. There you go.
Evolution? Well, it's important they know.
Anyway, so this is, yeah, just a bit,
I don't know if it's got an official award, and it says
please give a virtual round of applause to our finalists.
Professor Kim Ray.
Yes.
Dr. Juyoti Sharma.
Yay.
Professor Amy Mullins.
Yay.
These women are doing so well.
Yes.
And Simon Button.
Simone?
They're not missing any there.
Did they miss any?
No.
Simon Button is a finalist
in the Women in Technology Awards
So people are upset at this and rightly so
because it is the Women in Technology Awards
but you did say this category
was for people who were
championing
championing
championing
championing
championing
championing championing Championing. Championing. Championing. Championing. Championing. Why can't I say this?
Championing.
Championing.
Championing.
They are supporting women in tech.
No, they're championing diversity, inclusion, equality, and belonging.
Yeah, so he is...
Within...
Holding other women up.
The wider community.
Excuse me.
Right, but has this been a mistake if they come out and said...
No, they're just saying that he is...
Simon is a founding director of Hummingbird House Foundation
and not for profit that successfully delivered a children's hospice.
Oh, it's hard now, isn't it?
Oh, Simon.
But still, it's the Women in Tech Awards.
To support Queensland kids who have limiting illnesses.
I am really upset about this.
So, yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Anyway, but I think the thing that's causing a stir
is it's not to say that this man
who is supporting Queensland kids
who have life-limiting illnesses,
I'm not coming for him, am I?
No, no.
It's just that he's been nominated
for a Women in Technology Award.
Like, I think even he probably would be like,
leave me out of this, surely. That's what I was going to say.
Paul Simon's like, all of a sudden
there'd be hate coming his way. He's like,
no. No, no, no, I don't want it.
I don't want it.
I'll answer your abusive tweets soon.
I'm just saving some children.
I'm just trying to get these sick kids through
the worst period of their life.
Wow.
But yeah, people are just like, it's a little, it's a bit of a miss.
It's a bit of a miss.
Yeah.
It's a bit of a miss.
I'm voting for, I'm voting for Professor Amy Mullins.
What's she done?
She's got nice earrings on.
That is the most feminist thing you've ever said.
I gotta tell you, she's rocking a beautiful pink lip
and got a gorgeous set of earrings on her ears.
Gets your vote.
So we're voting for a woman in the Technology Awards
based on their appearance.
You should see these earrings.
They are a statement ear.
I'm trying to moor her and do a feature.

Hello and welcome to Community Notices,
a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand
according to local Facebook pages.
Arms back.
Tauranga Local Notice Board.
Ashley posts on there.
Hello there.
A glass eyeball has been left at the mixture eatery a couple of weeks back.
Is anybody looking for their eye?
Contact us if it's yours.
Look at this thing.
Wait, is it real?
Like somebody's got a glass eye.
I always assumed a glass eyeball would be perfectly circular, spherical.
But that's like it would be perfectly circular, spherical,
but that's like... It would have to fit the hole, wouldn't it?
No, they're like...
They're not even a full ball.
Nah.
Yeah, they're like a little kind of...
How do they...
I don't know, curve thing.
But you don't need to fill the whole thing.
You're just kind of covering.
I thought you would want to fill the whole thing
because you wouldn't want it falling backwards.
Well, I can't get taking off your glasses or your gloves to eat at an eatery, but why
do you need to take out your eye out?
Maybe it gets uncomfortable.
To have an eggs benny.
This eye also looks like it's got built-in blood vessels.
Is that a thing with fake eyes?
Oh, no.
If I would get a fake eye, I'd get one like I just eyedropped.
No, you wouldn't want a crystal white, because then your other eye would look like a yellow
red.
Do they match you?
Yeah.
Yeah, but then sometimes I have a little bit of bloodshot, and then other other eye would look like a yellow, red... I wonder if they... Do they match you? Yeah. Yeah, but then sometimes I have, you know, like a little bit of bloodshot,
and then other times I don't.
I'm looking at your eyes now, and you do have bloodshot on both eyes,
so it would look weird if one was, you know,
perfect porcelain white.
It's like if you got a fake tooth and it was white, white.
It would stand out.
It would stand out.
Okay.
I never thought about that in the fake eye industry.
So much to consider in the fake eye industry.
How much does a fake eye cost? I'm going to Google. You Google that. I'm thought about that in the fake eye industry. So much to consider in the fake eye industry. How much does a fake eye cost?
I'm going to Google.
You Google that.
I'm going to get one.
If I got one, I'd go full David Bowie.
I'd go totally different colour.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, would you?
Yeah.
What's that called when you've got different colour eyes?
It's hyper...
Hyper...
Glyke.
Glyke.
Because glyke is the medical for eye, right?
Different coloured eyes. Huskies always have it. Glyke. Because glyke is the medical for eye, right?
Different colour to eyes.
Huskies always have it.
In the UK, privately, you will pay around £1,700 for a fake eye.
In the USA, you'd pay $1,800.
No. It's like three grand.
Over three grand in New Zealand.
Yeah.
Heterochromia is where your irises are two different colours.
If someone's got a fake eye.
What's homochromia?
That would be the same, wouldn't it?
Okay.
Hot.
Because that's what homos...
Homo means like one.
Yeah, right.
So homosexuals, it's one gender.
Oh, right.
Okay.
One gender.
Like the one gender, but hetero is right too, isn't it?
I don't know.
It sounds right.
Homo chromia.

Hello.
Someone's just having a ciggy right outside the window.
They're not listening to us because they've got headphones on,
but they're not listening to us.
Those are things.
I tell you what, when you see a smoker these days,
every single one of them is loving smoking.
He is enjoying it.
You used to see some smokers who would just be smoking for something to do,
but they're your vapers now.
But when you see someone still doing an analogue vape, you know, the old dart, the old
flaming back, they
are loving it.
Every breath there, he's loving that.
Like at the carnival, when you see an old
boy running a carnival ride and he's smoking
it's every single breath, it's
pure, pure enjoyment.
Good for him. Loving
ciggies. East Auckland Grapevine.
East Auckland Grapevine. East Auckland Grapevine.
Quite distracting how much they love that cigarette.
It's really distracting because he's sitting so close to the window.
Yeah.
And doing that thing where literally like puff, okay,
and now holding it in, breathing it out.
Oh, there he goes.
And cigarette's already back in the mouth for the next one.
He's a chronic flicker, eh?
Yeah, flicker in a just absolutely chimes.
He's only got five minutes, that's why.

Hello, people of East Auckland Grapevine.
Weird request, does anyone have an adult corn suit costume?
I could borrow it for overnight.
Let me know.
Very specific.
Very specific.
But then also, why...
You can't lend a man a corn suit.
No, but you don't want to be buying a corn suit
every time you need a corn suit.
Yeah.
You need a community corn suit.
Costume places are famously expensive
for hiring a corn suit.
What about a Look Sharp?
Would they have a...
They would have...
I've seen, you know, in Look Sharp,
they've got a very offensive range of...
Very, like, I'm surprised there hasn't been
a spin-off expose into the racially offensive
words that Look Sharp
used to describe their costumes.
Like there's a
Pocahontas one that's like, little Indian girl.
Yeah. Because it's off-brand

Peas, carrots, corn. Maybe that's why
someone was going as peas, someone was going as carrots, someone was going
as corn. Peas, carrots,
corn.
Oh, little kid one.
Oh my god, this is peas, carrots, corn.
That's pretty cool. It'd be embarrassing if you were the pea, because that would
mean that you were a bit round.
You know, like if it was the three of us, it would be like, okay, who should be the pea? I'd be peas in a pod. I'd be embarrassing if you were the pea because that would mean that you were a bit round. You know, like if it was the three of us,

Yeah, slim.
What would you be?

Now, question.
The other day I was walking along,
I had like an empty Coke bottle or drink bottle
and I just saw a wheelie bin out on the street.
Was that a recycling one?
Yeah, and it was empty.
It had been emptied.
Yeah, chucked it in.
And I just chucked it in.
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Chuck it in.
I'd prefer you chucked it in there than chucked it in the bin where it wouldn't get recycled.
Or just on the ground.
Normally I poke it down the drain.
You flatten them, don't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chuck them down the grate.
Yeah, I know you can go. If, yeah. You chuck them down the grate.
Yeah.
Oh no, you can go,
if it's one of those ones on the side of the road
that's got a hole
big enough for like
Georgie to slip down

Of course.
Pennywise, the clown grabs him,
of course.
Yeah.
And you chuck your bottle down there.
That's where I put them, yeah.
Straight to the dolphins.
Nah, in the wheelie.

some of my favourite is like a chicken packet,
if you have to make it from a packet.
I like brown onion because it goes with every meat.
Yeah, I like a rich brown.
But you've got to use, if you're making a gravy at home,
you've got to use the fatty juice that drips off
whatever you're cooking as an essential part of the gravy.
Absolutely.
Well, this is a former gravy wrestling champion explaining what it takes to be a champion of the gravy wrestling variety.
When wrestling in gravy, what it takes to be champion
is an ability not to worry about what you actually look like
when you're doing it.
You've just got to get in there.
You get messy.
You get covered in it.
It stinks.
It gets in your eyes.
You just grab onto your opponent and just hope for the best.
I don't think I've ever had gravy in my eyes.
No.
Thick gelatinous.
Yeah.
Is it warm?
No.
Or is it cold?
It would be cold.
Ugh.
You can see they've basically put up a big ring
and they line it with like tarpaulin or plastic.
Yeah.
And then just fill it.
So it's like jelly wrestling but with gravy.
And I'm guessing there are pads.
Yeah, it would.
If you're watching on the side, can you dip your chips in it as they're wrestling?
I don't know if I would dip my chips in this.
No.
Lots of sweaty dudes.
Any women doing it?
Yeah, lots of, yeah, there's women doing it as well.
Yep.
Gravy would get everywhere too.
Gravy would get
in all your nocks and crannies.
Yeah, in crevices.
Gravy in the air.
It would stink for days.
Yeah.
Why?
Why?
Well, it's charity.
Okay, there you go.
There you go.
So it's for a good cause.
For a good cause.
Why are you wrestling in gravy?
For a good cause. For a good cause. Why are you wrestling and graving? For a good cause.
For a good cause.
There is Southwest Airlines.
I think it's quite a cheap little American airline.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
Sorry, I got a spicy broad bean just jammed in my throat there.
You got a what?
A spicy broad bean.
I've been snacking on some spicy broad beans.
Yeah, that's odd.
It's like eating a Bouchard mix.
It's like eating a Bouchard mix or a peanut mix.
Yeah, they are.
They've got like a little crunch around the outside.
Anyway, they jammed in my throat.
It's an odd snack for this time of the morning.
It truly is.
It's an odd snack, full stop.
Anyway, so Southwest Airlines,
it was a flight flying from Minneapolis to Cabo in Mexico.
Okay.
People were going on holiday.
It was a real holiday vibe on the plane.
But then the pilot had to get on the intercom thing and tell people off.
And he threatened.
He said, I'm going to be turning this plane back around if you don't stop with this behavior.
He said, we're going to have to get security involved.
I'll pull back into the gate.
They hadn't even taken off yet.
Right.
Because he'd been informed that there were people on the plane
airdropping nudes around the plane.
That is wild.
So just opening up their phone, going to, you know.
More than one person.
A nude.
Yeah, it was sort of like circulating through this plane.
Was it spring break?
They were going to Cabo, Mexico.
No, it was not spring break at the moment.
It was not spring.
Unless it's an old story that's just, you know, surfaced.
Maybe.
Because you airdropped me something on the plane.
And you didn't airdrop me back.
No, because I, and you were, how many rows back were you from me?
Five?
And I couldn't airdrop you back. No, because I, and you were, how many rows back were you from me? Five? And I couldn't airdrop you back.
Oh, right.
Because I was trying to reply.
We were opening the text pad and writing to each other.
Oh, yeah.
Airdrop is really temperamental.
It is.
You can open notes and you type in airdrop and they drop it back.
It's got everything in there and you can just have a conversation.
So, I mean, you could, in a plane,
you could probably limit it to the five rows
behind and in front, right? Yeah, but if you got more
people involved, you know
like you went from row
one to five and then row five
sent it back to ten and then ten's getting
you know, we're just shuffling this nude picture
right down to the back.
He said, yeah, he kept on saying
whatever this airdrop thing is, it's gonna
have to stop.
And it had real sort of don't make me come back there kids vibe.
Because this person was, yeah, airdropping a nude. So it's a lot of countries have made this illegal.
Singapore recently has made it illegal.
Cyber flashing, which described on Wikipedia as involving sending obscene photos to strangers online, often done through airdrop or Bluetooth.
Without consent.
Without consent, yeah.
Because you do kind of consent in a way because they send it
and you have to say accept, right?
Yes, but you do get an image.
You've had it.
Someone's done this.
Yeah, I've had it when someone tried to send me a photo
and it says, like, this phone is trying to send you,
is trying to airdrop you an image
and you just decline it.
Could you get a preview
of the image?
No.
I thought it does
show you a preview.
Is it like a blur thing?
Oh, it's a blur.
A bit of a curious kitty.
Yeah, I would
because I would just
want to do accept as well.
I know.
But then I'd have
no problem
like publicly
outing them for it.
Yeah, yeah. If it was their face I'd get up problem like publicly outing them for it. Yeah, yeah.
If it was their face, I'd get up and I would look for them.
And then I would say, excuse me, everyone.
The man in 27K has just sent me a photo.
Of his doodle.
Of his doodle.
Yeah.
With his face in it.
And look, everybody.
Who else wants a copy?
And look at it.
It's a bit crooked.
Yeah.
I'd show it up and I'd walk up the aisles and I'd show everyone.
And I know from my mole maps that that mole at the hilt,
it needs to be checked.
Yeah.
But this is quite a common thing on like very busy tubes,
train stations, subways.
Because you don't have to be,
if you have your airdrop settings as everyone,
so like you can receive airdrops from
anyone and everyone, you don't have to
know them or have their phone number or you just
have to be within the vicinity of their phone.
So this is what we wanted to ask this morning
is what did somebody airdrop you?
Is this a bit of an impossible phone? I mean, it's happened
to you. It could be. But I feel
like it's more prevalent
in countries with like subways
and big... Subways, subways planes trains buses yeah your
public transports all right well 0800 dials at him give us a call you can text as well 9696 maybe
you've been at a busy bar yeah uh like yeah packed plane or train or bus did a stranger
airdrop you something well a pilot uh threatened to to turn the plane around or not take off
if customers didn't stop airdropping
naked photos of themselves, passengers
to each other. They must have
stopped because they made it on their trip, but
we wanted to know what you have been
airdropped by a stranger.
And it turns out
there's no shortage of calls.
Tia, good morning. You received an
airdrop in public.
Yes, I did.
I was at the drifting event in Tauranga and I was waiting in line for food
and I got an airdrop request
and I showed my friend and she was like,
accept it.
Accept it immediately.
It was a photo of a very naked woman,
spread legs and everything.
Oh!
Oh, Tia. a very naked woman um spread legs and everything oh yeah it wasn't it wasn't the person that sent the airdrop because they changed their name to a
very naughty name oh okay gosh yeah so wait do you think they were trying to uh woo you or they just
got the wrong person my friend turned around and she saw these
like, I'd say about 19 year olds
like
laughing and snickering.
Oh my god, so immature.
It was definitely
a laughable moment but
turn the
brightness down on your phone if you're going to accept
an airdrop photo.
Is everyone around you?
See, that's the thing, I just accept because I'm so curious, I want to see what down on your phone if you're going to accept an airdrop photo. Is everyone around you? Yeah, yeah.
I just accept because I'm so curious. I want to see what someone's
sending. Oh, so will we.
So will we. But no, it was
a very odd photo to receive
in line with a lot of children
and people. Don't lie.
You've saved it.
Well, 0800-DARZATM.
Keep your calls coming in, your texts as well.
9696.
When have you received a random airdrop in public?
We want to know when you've been airdropped something randomly in public.
It's a pest move.
It is a real pest move.
It's either an immature lols move.
That's really funny.
Or a pest move.
That is funny.
Or sometimes people are just like, you know, really being inappropriate.
But you can also airdrop like your phone number.
Do you know what I mean?
You can airdrop web, like web page links.
That's what somebody said.
They went to a rugby game, like a big rugby game, big crowd.
And teenagers were airdropping their Snapchat codes.
Right.
Like if they see someone hot.
Just to anybody that'll accept it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Otherwise, this person that messages us in is obviously a hottie
and all the teens are trying to, like, get them on the Snapchat.
So, yeah, there's lots of messages in.
We were on a flight to Christchurch sending photos.
There's multiple flights to Christchurch sending photos. There's multiple flight to Christchurch stories!
There are multiple flight to Christchurch stories.
I know.
What one is she?
She was the menace.
No, see, I'm talking to someone who was
on the receiving end of the menace.
I'm just listening.
Thank you for trusting a seasoned broadcaster.
I'm just here to listen and follow.
For those listening, Vaughn gets in a lot of trouble for reading out numbers
that the producers have got calls lined up for.
They've called some people.
But that's not what's happening here.
And Vaughn always reads out the numbers, doesn't he?
He always reads out the texts and ruins the calls.
No.
Flight to Christchurch and a young man sent me a photo of his entire situation.
That is quite a ballsy move.
Here it is.
Very ballsy.
It was taken on the plane.
He didn't have this waiting.
It wasn't a pre...
Wait, how do you...
This wasn't premeditated.
He didn't have it in the wings ready to send.
He might have nipped to the bathroom.
Right.
Oh, right, okay.
Goodness me.
You wouldn't flop it out.
You wouldn't just flop it out in the seat.
Mid-flopping out trying to take a picture
and would you like a cookie time or a cassava chips?
Oh, my Lord.
The cassava chips it will be.
Oh, me oh my.
Aileen, good morning.
What happened?
Hi.
So I was at a birth centre and I'd just given birth to my daughter.
Yeah.
And my husband got an airdrop notification and was like,
oh, okay, this is random.
Like, I'll just accept it.
Oh, no.
And it was the family next door at the birth centre
had sent through their, like, newborn pics to my husband.
What?
And he was like, this is awkward.
Like, what am I doing?
Wait, not...
It's a picture of your new fresh baby.
But not the birth happening.
Nah, not the birth happening.
Oh, my goodness.
So they must have been, what, sharing photos with the group around them
and accidentally sent to your husband.
This is why people don't name their phones.
You've got to name your phone.
Some people just leave an iPhone, and then there's like four iPhones.
You're like, which one am I sending to?
Do you think it was a mistake, or they knew that you'd had a fresh baby,
they've got a fresh baby, and they thought, like, our baby's better than that.
They'll want to see their baby.
They'll want to see what a 10 out of 10 baby looks like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, cute little nine over there, but we've got a 10.
Katie, you were also on a flight to Christchurch.
I wasn't.
But you were the pest.
Well, I don't know.
You're a pest.
Katie, the pest.
Now, what were you sending other passengers?
I was sending very cute pictures of my cat.
Okay.
Now, is that an analogy? Because there was a boy who was sending pictures of my cat. Okay. Is that an analogy?
Because there was a boy who was sending pictures of his snake.
No.
What part of your cat?
My cat's butthole.
What?
Is he sending your cat's butthole to people?
It's the most offensive part of the cat, and they love showing it.
They do.
Exactly.
How many people were accepting this on this flight?
So we started off sending pictures of my sister,
like childhood photos that we had of her.
It was like a girl's trip with kids that we'd all grown up with.
And so we had like all these funny childhood photos
and nobody was accepting them.
Right.
And so I was like, oh, well, I've got a funny photo.
And I did that and it got accepted by like three different people.
And I was playing to the crowd.
Does Airdrop, I thought Airdrop did give you a little preview. Yeah was playing to the crowd. Does airdrop,
I thought airdrop
did give you a little preview.
Yeah, I thought it does.
Definitely,
it gives you a little preview.
Yeah.
But is it like blurred out?
Yeah,
you can't see it
like exactly.
It's probably got AI
so if it sees
that it's a Rudy picture,
it might blur it out.
Yeah.
I'd like to clarify as well,
the only reason
I have that photo
is because I got an unsolicited
DP one time, so I sent that back.
That's the only reason I have the photo to begin with.
Right, so was this unsolicited
DP, was that on Airdrop as well?
No, that was unrelated.
Let's get into it.
Who was it? How did it look?
Katie, thanks for your call. Some more messages in. Let's get into it Let's get into it Who was it? Who was it? How did it look? Katie thanks
You call some more messages in
Anne messaged on Instagram
Saying I was walking down
Lampton Cairn
A stranger airdropped me
An eggplant pit
Mortifying
Oh my god
Mortifying
Michelle said
I once received
While I was at the night market
A photo of a llama
A completely unsolicited llama
You don't send other people Your llama While on the subway In New York City I once received, while I was at the night market, a photo of a llama. A completely unsolicited llama.
You don't send out the people, you llama.
While on the subway in New York City,
someone airdropped me the picture of the weed they were trying to sell on the subway.
So you could, if you were interested,
you could obviously message them back
and acquire some mara fish llama.
You gotta hustle, you know?
Yeah.
Somebody said, when I worked at Disney,
whenever there was a big line for anything,
people would go on Airdrop.
That Airdrop memes and non-spicy content, that's wholesome.
That's wholesome stuff.
Wholesome stuff.
A teacher has messaged in saying,
we currently have a situation at the school.
It's a mystery penis being Airdropped around school.
We call it penis gate.
No one is safe.
A mystery one.
A mystery penis.
Yeah.
There's only one way To identify it isn't there
You line them all up
I will just
Drop trowels
You might have missed
The crucial word here
At school
You're gonna go up
And go
Nope
And do a side by side
I think that's problematic
Hayley
Well how else
Are you gonna do it
That's why you got
Kicked off the board
Of trustees
Well you have to get
Every student
To send one in.
And then you find the culprit.
You match it up.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
We would say that I'll give
Gen Z this. I'll give Gen Z
this. From one millennial to a pack of Gen Zs.
Yeah.
They won't listen.
I know they won't listen.
They won't listen, they don't care.
So entitled.
They won't listen.
They don't want to listen.
But they would be the generation, I think,
who have been really, well, one of the generations, I reckon,
maybe the kids as well,
but who have been really impacted by the pandemic.
Yeah.
Like it's stuffed up a lot of their good years, their uni years,
their party years, that kind of stuff.
Their real social time.
The last year of high school.
Such a crucial year, you know.
How many wonderful movies have been made about the coming of age
of seniors of high school.
The night before graduation, you know.
A little smirch under the old clock tower. of age of seniors of high school. Graduation, the night before graduation, you know? Yeah.
A little smirch
under the old clock tower.
But you did just say
moments ago
your most hated generation.
Because they're boring.
Wow, okay,
shots fired.
They're just a bit
boring for me.
I don't know,
they're so sort of good
and like,
sort of like,
they're a bit kitsch,
you know,
and they're sort of like cute
as opposed to like, ruckus. Right. I reckon millennials, I'm a millennial, I reckon we were a bit kitsch, you know, and they're sort of like cute as opposed to like ruckus.
Right. I reckon millennials,
I'm a millennial, I reckon we were a bit ruckus.
You reckon the best? We were a bit more
chaotic. Yeah. And risky.
The 90s were insane.
The late 90s were real
dumb. Like dumb stuff happened all
the time and we were just like, ah yeah.
We were like, ha ha, that's crazy. But in saying that, they're ram
raiding. But that's a small percentage of it.
I didn't see you guys ram raiding in your youth.
No, but I would say, is that Gen Z or is that the sort of next below?
The next one.
Because they're kind of kids that are ram raiding.
Yeah, that's true.
The Gen Z is like early 20s who are, you know, doing like booze free yoga dates.
Yeah. Snapchat stre dates. Yeah.
Snapchat streaks.
Yeah, not for me.
If the most exciting thing going on in your life
is a Snapchat streak when you're in your early 20s.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, this is coming from a very, very boring man,
but even I had a raucous early 20s.
I did all my things, all of it in these early 20s.
Well, now they've given up hook-up culture.
Right, just over it.
I'm sorry.
I've had enough!
But that would be the pandemic, right?
So they're saying because of the pandemic,
they lost those years of being able to go out.
But they weren't going out anyway.
Like, for me, my early 20s was like, I used to hit to clubs.
Yeah.
I'd hit to clubs and then I'd hit someone else.
You sound like an absolute boomer talking about the good old days.
They were the good old days.
Courtney Place, man, I used to take off my shoes
and walk home all the way to Newtown afterwards.
Oh, no, don't do that.
With Harry.
Who's Harry?
You're about to find out who Harry is.
But, yeah, they're over it.
And they say that the pandemic was like totally reset their thinking of like what their values are.
And like how they value their time.
Oh, give me strength.
And their interactions that they want to have.
That's a good thing, right?
It is a good thing.
Look in the mirror.
If you're this age, look in the mirror.
It's not getting better than that.
It's not.
That's quite a grim assessment. It's not getting better than that. It's not. That's quite a grim assessment.
It's not getting better than that.
I look at photos of me at 20.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, and when you're that age and you're like,
oh, my God, I look like shit.
Yeah.
Trying to constantly tuck everything in.
Yeah, you don't.
It's going to get harder in 10 years.
You're going to have to work a whole lot harder to look that good.
Yeah, right. And then in 10 more years after that from someone who's
there at the moment, you've given up.
It's too hard.
So they're all about like
they're meeting up for
booze-free dates with like up-front
connections where they
want to say, you know, what they want
and then anyone
who doesn't meet that, they're out of there.
And even the idea of like hookup culture,
like they're going back to like the more conservative way of like many,
many dates and then maybe a kiss.
Good Lord.
Good luck with that.
All right.
Young Hayley.
Next on the show at the social media desk,
Carl Wayne had a moral conundrum yesterday.
Yeah, see, she's a Gen Z-er.
She's a do-good.
I'll tell you what we would have done with this moral conundrum next.
ZM.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Well, Carl Wayne at the social media desk had a real moral conundrum.
She was telling us this morning,
and I think all of us would have gone the other way on this.
100%.
In fact, I have in the past.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't want to say it at the time, but you know what?
I'm opening up today.
Did you see how horrified that Gen Z was when you said that?
Gen Z, so, like, righteous.
Sorry I wanted to do the right thing.
And goody two shoes.
Yeah.
No, so this, I think you did do the right thing
because you ordered a, what, a necklace?
Yeah.
Was it a necklace?
Yeah, off of my favourite place, Marketplace.
Okay.
Back in early June.
Was it a large, you know,
that we talked about this being back in fashion.
Statement necklace. Statement necklace. Was it sort of a large know, that we talked about this being back in fashion? Statement necklace.
Statement necklace.
Was it sort of a large
orange plastic thing?
No, pearl necklace
with some stuff on it.
Oh, classy.
Karen Walker.
Karen Walker pearl.
I know, I know.
Goodness me.
Karen Walker's actually
a really good friend of mine.
You should have just told me.
She picks the pearls herself.
Are you telling me this now?
She does, yeah.
She picks the pearls herself.
She got her
paddy dive certificate
so she can go to Fiji. Yeah, she does.. She picks the pearls herself. She got her paddy dive certificate. Out of the ocean.
So she can go to Fiji.
Yeah, she does.
And she picks the pearls herself.
Amazing woman.
Amazing.
With the price then, for sure.
Yeah.
Yes.
So, okay, so this was someone getting rid of it on Marketplace.
Yeah.
And after about three weeks, it hadn't shown up.
I was like, I've either been scammed or it's lost in the mail.
So the girl who sold
it to me got in touch with NZ Post. They were like
yep, soz, it's lost.
Here's a refund.
Those exact words from New Zealand Post?
New logo, new attitude.
Yeah, they're pretty chill these days.
Yo, soz.
Yo, soz, what up?
Soz, lost.
Being run by Gen Z actually.
No cap.
Yeah, we'll put no cap on this package.
So they gave her a refund, which she very kindly gave back to me.
Because obviously I was out of pocket.
Yeah.
So wait, when you send something in the mail, if it gets lost, they'll refund you?
Yeah.
I did not know that.
I didn't know this either.
But apparently if you have proof that you posted it and stuff.
Yeah.
Okay.
And so I just gave up on that idea, whatever.
Yesterday I got an email saying, your package is going to be delivered today.
I was like, I haven't ordered anything.
Yeah.
Went to the tracking and it said that it was from June.
And I was like, I was telling Anna, I was telling Georgia.
Oh my gosh, what if it's the necklace?
Yeah.
I get home, it's the necklace.
It's the necklace.
From like what, four weeks later?
No, from June.
June.
Oh my God, yeah, okay.
That's two months late.
Yeah.
So I guess it was just-
Where was it?
Maybe at the bottom of the pile of packages?
That's what they reckon at the moment.
Yeah, the warehousing and if there's a day where like half the staff are sick,
it just piles up and then they just get to it when they get to it.
So it arrived.
And here is where your conundrum starts because...
You've got the money back.
The woman refunded you.
Yes.
But okay, here's the other part of the conundrum.
This isn't a multinational company.
Yes, exactly.
This is just a woman who bought this necklace and then sold it.
Yes. And obviously she'd been very lovely this necklace and then sold it. Yes.
And obviously she'd been very lovely in like sorting out that it was lost
and like giving me the money back.
So I was like, I need to let her know.
So I messaged her.
You didn't need to.
Wait, before you let her know, did you run this past the devil and angel on your shoulder?
I sent a few messages to a few friends.
You didn't check me.
I'm moral compass due north.
I feel like you would have said keep it.
No.
I would have said keep it if it was a company.
Yes.
Like a big multinational company that earns bajillions of dollars.
Yeah.
Who cares?
They can write that off.
But no, I think you did the right thing giving it back.
Yeah.
Well.
You told the lady.
I told her and then she was like, oh, just give me this much for it, which was
less than what I'd originally paid.
Wait, so you ended up profiting?
Not profiting. Everybody ended up
profiting. So you just got the necklace for way cheaper.
A little cheaper. Well, she didn't end up
profiting because she wanted to sell it for
whatever price. Wait, but you've ripped her off.
No, because she said, you know what?
Honesty deserves rewarding.
Oh, is she Gen Z?
This is a couple of saps.
This is a couple of saps over here.
Oh, gosh.
I think it was lovely.
Do you want to come to my youth group on Sunday?
Have a shot of tequila.
Oh, my God.
Why the yes?
Jeez Louise.
You two should have met in public and fought with your fists.
Yes.
We need to see a bit more mongrel from Gen Z.
We're pulling out each other's hair extensions.
Oh, my God. I'm sorry if I offended you.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
So wait, before we get to fact of the day,
it appears that we just heard from Carl Wayne. I assumed I missed the,
I assumed the part that everybody's messaging about happened,
it just wasn't mentioned.
However, it didn't happen.
So it turns out Carl Wayne,
who we thought had done the good thing,
has actually been ripped off in this necklace. So now I think Carween, who we thought had done the good thing,
has actually been ripped off in this necklace purchase.
Step through it.
Step through it.
Okay, so let's redo it how we just worked it out then.
Physically.
Hayley, you be Carween.
I'm Carween.
You be person selling necklace, who now I believe is a scamming millennial, not a pushover.
Now wait, this necklace was $75, wasn't it?
I wasn't going to say that, but yes.
Okay, it was $75.
I'm New Zealand Post.
I'm New Zealand Post.
I've got a new logo.
So I've got this necklace that I bought for more than $75,
but I'm going to get rid of it.
$75.
Carwen, you buy it off me.
My name is Carwen.
Here's $75.
I would like the necklace, please.
Okay, I'm sending it to you.
Hi, I'm New Zealand Post.
I'll be delivering that necklace from you to her.
Thank you very much.
Two months later, the necklace still hasn't turned up.
So you've got 75 bucks.
I've got no money and no necklace.
So Wayne then contacts Sala.
Hey, the necklace hasn't turned up.
Oh my God,
I'm so sorry.
Let me ring
New Zealand Post.
Ring, ring.
Ooh, hello.
The necklace is missing.
Give me $75.
Goobly-doobly-doo.
I've got a new logo
and I play fast and loose now.
So now that
the post gives you money.
I'll give you your money.
So I've got
Carwin's $75 and New Zealand Post $75.
And you give back to me, Carwin, $75, meaning you've still got $75.
Now everybody's got everything they need.
And now the necklace.
Hello.
It's New Zealand Post.
It turns up.
We found the necklace.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, now that I've got the necklace, I'll let the woman know,
hey, the necklace turned up.
Here's more money.
So what has she got?
How much money has she got out of this?
I don't want to tell you.
So you gave her, let's say, $50.
Yeah, it was $50.
So let's say, so now you've given her $125.
She's done it.
This necklace is gone.
She's got the money from New Zealand Post. New Zealand Post, find the necklace, give it to Carwin.
Transaction complete. Carwin's like,
do you want more money?
Oh my god.
You jinxed that sack.
I never said maths was my strong point.
Why did you give her money back?
I didn't think about the fact that she would
have had the original money.
And then she goes that line on you.
And then she said, okay, I'll charge you a little bit less
because honesty deserves reward.
Oh, my God.
Hey, maybe she's just like me.
Neither of us can do maths.
You need to take some time.
Somebody needs to give the taxpayer.
Ask her for her money back.
Send her this audio.
Tell her a GDX and two shitty millennials are going to give the taxpayer. Ask her for her money back. Send her this audio. You didn't know.
Tell her a geniex and two shitty millennials are going to come for her.
Hey, random stranger, I talked about you on the radio.
Give me my money back.
Yeah.
Well, surely a New Zealand post should ask for some money back.
No, do you see?
All right, it's time for fact of the the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day.
Yeah.
Today's Fact of the Day is about catfish.
But the actual fish that the catfishing, the verb, is named after.
Are these the ones that people get in the river and they put their arm up in the hole?
Noodlin'.
You go noodlin' for catfish.
Wild.
People drown doing that.
Yeah, because they put their arm in and it's a 200-pound catfish and they're 100 pounds
and the catfish is like, you're mine now.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
So the reason, if you don't know, catfishing is called catfishing is because
in the original documentary on MTV,
which was about when the guy who
hosted the MTV
show, he got catfished.
Yeah. When they meet
this woman who catfished him, her
husband is just this like
profound
philosopher redneck.
And he's like, when we used to catch fish
and we'd have to take them from Alaska to Japan,
by the time they got there, they'd be turned to mush.
So we used to chuck a catfish in
and it would chase the fish around the tank
and keep them fit and alive and healthy
till they got there.
Because these fish would get put in a tank
and they'd just be like,
oh, that's us.
Yeah, I'm giving up now.
And give up.
And they'd be mush
and their muscles would all deteriorate.
So these catfish keep people on their toes, basically.
So keep them fit.
Yeah.
That original documentary that made that TV is incredible.
It's so good.
Yeah.
It's so good.
So it's about these catfish.
Yeah.
And it comes to us from Indonesia,
where aid agencies and governments and everything,
after natural disasters,
Indonesia was heavily affected by the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.
Yeah.
It was often that while everything was getting back on its feet,
you've got to have someone to do your poos and your wees.
Yeah.
Of course, you just have to.
So often latrines were set up
or like temporary sewage systems were set up
and they obviously start to smell after a little while
because they don't have everything in a modern day.
They don't have a system, does it?
Yeah, it just kind of sits there for a while
and then you hope the bad stuff settles to the bottom and then the cleaner stuff trickles over. It's a bit like being have a system, does it? Yeah, it just kind of sits there for a while and then you hope the bad stuff settles to the bottom
and then the cleaner stuff trickles over.
It's a bit like being at a festival, camping or at a, yeah.
So this could work at a festival
because one day they noticed catfish in the latrine.
Oh.
Yeah, yucky.
Oh, those poor fish.
No, they love it.
So it became like this thing.
They were like, what is this catfish doing?
And they noticed where the catfish were in the latrine,
the water was way clearer.
And catfish, like oysters and bivalve shellfish,
actually have this filtration situation going on.
So you're saying it like R&V.
They should put catfish in all the port-a-boos.
But what if they nip at your bum bum?
No, because of the chemicals.
It can't have chemicals in it.
It's got to be a clean, it does have a flushing system.
It's just got to be water that goes in there.
No toilet paper.
They don't do the toilet paper.
No, they don't in a lot of Southeast Asian countries.
Oh, yeah.
The Western world's obsessed with toilet paper,
but everywhere else they just have a splash or a hoon on one of those high-pressure hoses,
which head at the right
angle, you'll fill up like a water balloon. Oh, I know.
Make sure to
sort of clench a bit, because otherwise...
You should be clenching when you're hosing.
Yeah, you don't want to be...
Well, I mean, you're on holiday.
Taking a big breath out.
Yeah, I mean,
I don't know. The douching tool's
right there, you might as well give it a blast.
You've heard all about it.
Just be careful.
Not everybody's colon and bowel is as leathery and thick as mine.
So you might do yourself an injury.
But otherwise, just water and down.
And so they started putting catfish.
And then they talked to people in Indonesia,
like people who were still living in villages where they didn't have latrines,
and they said, oh, yeah, this is kind of known in the area,
freshwater catfish.
You kind of set up your business away from where you live,
obviously, because it still smells.
But then you get some fingerlings, which maybe that's where fish fingers
come from, small catfish, and you put them in the septic tank
and they
they eat it
you should put some
in your septic tank
nah cause we've got
like detergents
detergents and stuff
right
it would kill them
it would kill them
I think
I think
I can't find anywhere
but I think it needs
to be a bit more open
oh yeah
not a closed septic tank
yeah not one that's
literally you have to
dig down three feet
to take a huge concrete lid off to get into.
Yeah, right.
Don't put a catfish in there.
Yeah.
And the catfish can be eaten.
No, thank you.
At the end of it.
But you have to take them out and place them in flowing water
for some time to make sure they're complete.
Oh, as if.
Eating my pooey catfish.
As if.
It's a circle of life.
So may I ask you, what is the fish of the day?
It's septic tank catfish.
Served on a bed of rice with a delicious wheeze sauce.
A wheeze.
A wheeze.
A wheeze.
A wheeze.
So today's fact of the day is
In Indonesia you chuck a couple of catfish in your septic tank
Fact of the day
Day day day day
Yeah Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
In the middle of the night, I'm wide awake.
I crave your face.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Play ZM.
We're renovating at the moment and the work has finally begun.
Like the actual tearing down of the house has started.
Fun.
Yeah, it's really fun.
It's really fun.
We started in the kitchen the other day.
Oh, we've done some ripping up of carpet and whatnot.
Yeah.
And the other day, yesterday, we started in the kitchen
removing all the cabinetry because that's gone.
Yep.
And the things you find out from the previous owners,
I have to say, like, he'd obviously installed it, this guy.
We've found some real surprises from him like diy wiring that set our walls on fire and just little treats like
that we're like oh she's really made this up and he's like wedged everything together with like
scraps of like core flute and oh cowboys that's the best part about pulling apart a house is just
finding some cowboy behavior and then you'd be like, some of it's nailed,
some of it's screwed, some of it's glued.
You're like, oh God.
Wow.
Anyways, but the bit that we're looking at at the moment
is 144 years old.
So the walls are very old.
Oh my God, did you find some treasure?
No treasure.
So we were removing this bit,
we'd pulled out the cabinetry
and then there was a bit exposed
because they didn't even like jib the wall where the cabinets were against.
They just went up against the raw hessian of the walls.
It's a very old house.
But then we were like trying to, all this dust and stuff was falling out
and we were like, oh, that looks like nests.
Like bird nests.
And when we cleaned out the roof.
In the wall, it's not a bird
Well, I know it's not a bird
because what else I found
was pretty gross
We were like digging in to try to get it out
all this like nesty stuff
and we were like, oh man, that's so gross
like fluff
and then out comes, and I send it to the group chat
and I was nervous because I thought that Carween would absolutely hate it
but I sent it anyway.
It was like a perfect... Well, they've been a very sensitive
generation when you show them a skeleton.
Oh, they are. They're like, aww.
It was like a perfectly
sort of, would you call it mummified?
Yeah.
Like a mummified
rat. Ratty, ratty,
ratty. How old would that be?
I don't know. Who knows?
Because it's not just a skeleton.
Yeah, once it skins, like not skin anymore,
it's just paper on top, it's hard to tell.
It looks like sort of, yeah.
It's quite big too, isn't it?
Yeah.
No, it was like, it was not too big.
I think it was a little baby.
Still, that's too big for me.
But it's like perfectly, he's not like,
or squashed or squished or anything.
What do you think he died peacefully in his sleep?
Just sort of sitting in the walls.
Right.
He just came like tumbling out and I was like, ooh, but then I was kind of like marvelling
because it's not fluffy or like rotten.
He's beyond.
I don't know.
I don't know his journey.
You know, I don't know his journey.
He didn't leave the captain's log.
Thankfully, it's not.
Some people do this, don't they?
And they find skeletons, like human remains.
Yeah, human remains in the walls.
Didn't that happen in Mount Eden like a year or two ago?
No, it was under.
Under the floorboards.
Under the floorboards.
Under the house.
We're pulling up some floorboards soon.
Well, who knows what you'll find under there.
Hopefully not a person.
But I want to know what you've found in your walls.
Because this happens often that people find little trinkets or memories.
Or we've found
photos before. Yeah, because I feel
like this was a thing a lot of people
did back in the day but I don't feel people do
enough now. No. You know like people
find newspapers and cars were $60
and houses were $100.
Yeah, yeah. And you're just like, oh the good old days.
The good old days. Yeah. You also earned
like a penny a day. Yeah.
Whatever it was.
But yeah, I want to know what you found in your walls, be it gross or fascinating.
I want to know what you have found in your walls.
Maybe you've been doing some work in your house or maybe you just sort of fell through the wall.
You found a mummified skeleton of a rat yesterday.
It's sort of more than the skeleton, isn't it?
It is mummified.
Rachel, what did you find?
Um, I really
every night I'd hear
this like rippeting and there was
a live frog that was in
my wall. A live
frog? It's a rippeting.
How did it get in there?
I have no idea. But it just
it was, it tormented, the other kids
tormented me every night.
And so my dad went and we tried to get someone to find out how to get in it,
but we couldn't.
So they just stuffed more drywall and insulation in it.
So there's probably a dead frog in the wall now.
A dead frog.
A dead frog.
It was live.
The question has to be asked, how does a live frog get, there's a hole somewhere.
There's holes somewhere.
There's a hive somewhere.
For that long in here.
Rachel thinks he calls the messages in.
What if it was a bird that picked up a tadpole out of a pond
and was flying and let it go just at the right angle
and there was a tiny little gap and the tadpole slipped through
and then turned into a frog in the wall?
Could be.
Could be, Vaughn.
Could be.
Wouldn't that need water?
Or can tadpoles survive outside it?
It might be damp in the water.
It might be a 2000s, you know, glass of Bordheim.
It could be a leak with a small puddle in the corner.
Yeah.
It had everything it needed in there.
Sure.
The flies would come in.
It would eat the flies.
Sure.
Just saying.
Tell you what a few people have found in the wall.
Old VHS with adult material.
Really?
A few messages about that.
Really?
Adrian, you found some naughty material as well.
Yeah, I recently helped my mate
line his feelings and walls in his house.
And he found some indoor gardening magazines from 2004.
So, from 2004.
Vintage.
Vintage, yeah.
I've got lots of thin eyebrows.
There's a guy that was around in 2004.
The magazines were done by then.
Yeah, it was a lot.
2004 was like very big fake boobies.
Right, that was a, yeah, fake boobie era.
Yeah, fake boobie era, thin eyebrows.
And I tell you what,
someone probably would have had an inappropriate bindi on.
Yeah, chicks and bindis.
Before Gwen Stefani was rocking a bindi.
She wouldn't do that now, would she?
Adrienne, thanks for your call.
All right, keep your texts, your calls coming through.
What have you found in the walls?
What's in the walls?
What's in the walls?
We want to know what you have found in your walls.
I found a perfectly mummified rat.
Rat baby, maybe?
Yeah, but any maybe bigger surprises, any treasure?
Monique, what did you find?
Oh, well, it wasn't me.
It was my husband, and he loved to find treasure as well.
So we've been renovating our house for a little while now
and always wants to find treasures.
But he was doing my daughter's room and lifted the wall
and out fell all these wasps and bees.
Oh, no.
And he set them down and he trapped himself. Yeah, yeah. That's not treasureps and bees. Oh no.
That's not treasure.
I'd burn it.
So he took off outside and he's waiting outside to see the swarm
from the window.
Oh no.
It's going to get me.
I would have burnt the house down.
There's no way I could have dealt with that.
No way.
Nothing came out so he's like, okay, I'll go inside.
So he pulled the rest of the wool.
And there was this beautiful big paper wasp nest between the nogs.
Yeah, so it looked really intricate and beautiful.
We got the kids they could take at the school because you could see all the little, like,
you know, spew-ups of them putting all the paper on.
Wow.
That was beautiful.
But no treasure. No treasure. No treasure. Just was funny to see. Yeah, but no treasure.
No treasure.
No treasure.
Just wasps.
Monique, thanks for your call.
Sarah, what did you find in the walls?
Well, when we were renovating our old house, we found in the cabinetry, we pulled it out,
a packet of unused condoms from the 1950s.
Oh!
What did they look like in the 1950s?
Very similar?
Well, no, they were kind of, there was just two in a packet.
It was a paper packet,
and then it was just two unwrapped rubber condoms.
Because they're unraveled, eh?
Yeah, well, no, they were rolled up in kind of an oval shape,
but by that stage they were so brittle.
Did you give them a guy?
Yeah.
I think they might have disintegrated.
Yeah.
Wow, okay.
From the 50s, right?
Sarah, thank you.
Messages in.
So many finds.
I'll tell you what.
Somebody said my husband's a builder,
and he just said it's very common practice for builders
to draw C and B inside the wall before they put the
interior jib on. Oh yeah.
God, you'd be livid.
We found a cell phone inside.
Do you reckon a builder left it there?
They've been listening to you. Apparently
it was our last
tenant before we renovated it.
He was married but this was his phone he used for Tinder
and texting other ladies.
Oh, you naughty boy.
But how did he have a little flap to get in there or something?
Must have had a way of getting it in there.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Found an old newspaper from 1966, the whole thing, the whole situation with a note that
said this is what the day that we put this wall up looked like.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, I'm going to do something like that.
Yeah, people should do that more.
Something less flammable though. Unless, of course, yeah, I was going to say that ignites a cool. Yeah, I'm going to do something like that. Yeah, people should do that more. Something less flammable, though.
Unless, of course, yeah, I was going to say that ignites a fire.
Yeah.
We found 23 bird remains.
We counted the skulls and lined them up and counted them.
23 birds were found in that wall space.
God, in New Zealand and its leaky, drafty home problem, eh?
No, but the birds would have been adding a bit of warmth,
a bit of stuffing in the walls.
Oh, yeah.
So you're saying like...
It is very warm, aren't they?
You put them in your duvet.
It's quite good.
When I was an apprentice electrician,
I pulled a wall and then something thunked out
and I was like,
oh, that sounded like it was big.
Whatever it was, it was a mummified cat.
Oh.
Because they do, they go all the way to die, don't they?
They crawl into the wall.
How do they get into the wall?
They can get into little spots for sure.
I found a tiny bottle of whiskey in mum and dad's new house
when I was renovating it behind the wall.
Also a packet of chocolate biscuits from before my time
that had fallen behind a wooden revolving corner unit in their kitchen.
Oh, okay.
Jeez.
My sister found $5,000 under the fireplace when they were doing renos.
That's drug money.
Or someone that doesn't like banks.
No, they had owned the house for 10 years and didn't have contact with a previous owner,
so they just used that money on the renos.
Here's one that probably led to a family meeting being called.
My parents had lived in the same house for 43 years.
When they moved out, they had changed a couple of things and found $9,000 in that house.
A mix of European and US currency.
They put Euro, but surely that meant just European currencies, right?
Not the Euro.
Because, yeah, if they don't have it for 43 years and there's $9,000 Euro,
someone put that up there.
Wow.
Yeah, and they never found out who?
Yeah.
Maybe I'll do that.
Like put something cryptic in the walls that makes you go, oh, what is this?
Like quarter of a pirate map.
Quarter of a pirate map and like a bag of icing sugar.
Yeah, that would mess with people.
Oh, my God, vintage cocaine.
You're like, no, no, it's Chelsea icing sugar.
Well, if you enjoyed that, give us a rating and review
and be sure to tell your mates.
You know what?
I reckon your script reading is getting better.
Thank you.
I give it five stars.
Thank you.
Just like I'd give this podcast.
I'm telling my friends about your script reading too.
Thank you.
Much like I'm going to do about this podcast.
Thank you, Vaughan and Hayley, for that.
Good boy.
