The ZM Podcast Network. Hello, welcome to the Fleeche, Vaughan and Hayley podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Download the McDonald's app and earn rewards on your coffee. Today, off to Palmerston North. Via the club first. After the show, yep. Do you know, I didn't mean to palm you for a long time.

Do you remember, this has been a New Zealand history for you. Back in the day, Palmerston North Airport used to be the only airport in New Zealand to charge you a departure fee. Do you remember? Oh yeah, five bucks. Yeah, just make your five or six. I think it was six. It went up to six at one stage. Didn't it? That's inconvenient. Whereas most other airports, like any fees and levies are in the fare. Yeah.

And they just thought they were some fucking European country. Fucking. But to be honest, once you've been, you'd pay to leave. Yeah, you would. You'd be like, take my money, take it all. No, that was always the joke, is that it was free to fly in there and you'd have to pay to leave. They trapped you.

Yeah. The only time I've ever flown into Palmy is by accident, you know, when I can't get into Wellington. What, when you're flying your own Cessna and you're on the person? Yeah, I'm on the person. I was like, I've got to land a bit early. I'm not feeling that well. Yeah, well it's a bit of a tricky airport, hasn't it? There's been a big crash.

It's been the episode of the Air Crash Investigation. We're literally about to fly there. Yeah, the old Ansett flight. Remember that crash in the hills? Does this mean because we're going regional we don't have to go through the security checkout? Yeah. I had an argument with that lady in Dunedin. oh she was out of control that woman was drunk on power she sneakers on yeah

wanted people to take their shoes off but i was like there's no consistency here there's no consistency because you take your you don't take your boots of an auckland wellington or crush church but in dunedin they're like take your boots It's like, but this makes no sense. Yeah. Like, I could have had these same boots on and I did coming down here. I know. Drunk on power. Mm. That's just the news we needed this morning, that dogs can well up like humans. Aww.

When they're happy. Oh, okay, that's all right. Yeah. Every they're happy. Oh, okay. That's alright. Yeah. Every now and then my cat cries. Is it really? Is it allergies? Might be allergies. I think it could be allergies. He's a big sneezer. Because gosh, there's some pine pollen in the air, ladies and gentlemen. There is some pine pollen

in the air. There's something in the air, eh? What's the yellow stuff? That's the pine pollen. Oh, we had an arborist come round and she was like, it's everywhere at the moment. Yeah, well, um, you live very close to a giant pine plantation. So that'll be why you're sneezing all the time. I do.

And, uh, yeah, it's all over our roof and everything. I'm for what? I'm sick of it. I'm sick of pollen. Join me as we protest. Let's burn this, let's burn the forest down. Yes, protest for the good forest burn. Yeah, should we just get rid of all pollen and bees? Yeah. I'm for

the bees and you know what? I'm for the pollen. Just not pine pollen. Well, we need it, don't we? Too much pine. Yeah, right. Fletcher, you're a bit chilly this morning. I am. Look at the reason it's cuddly fleecing. Yeah, you've got a lot of fleece and everything. Because I took it off and then my T-shirt wasn't enough.

Do you not have a jumper? Yeah, but I can't be bothered getting it out of my bag. Because I'm all packed to go to Palmerston North. We'll be in Palmerston North tonight for Bangers Bingo. Do you want to see my T-shirt today? The Wiggles. Oh, your Wiggles tee. Yes, the original Wiggles.

This is good stuff. So good. Good stuff. Should we just do another Wiggles recap today? I your original Wiggles. This is good stuff. So good. Good stuff. Should we just do another Wiggles recap today? I think so. I could really love that. It was such a great night. Such a great night.

Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A lawsuit over a piece of artwork. The latest piece of art is by an Italian artist. And you may have seen this. He had attached a banana to a wall and duct taped it. Yes. Yes, I recall.

Horizontally. Well, that was an Italian artist, and a Californian artist said, look, I did this in 2000. I taped a banana to the wall. Not only a banana, but also an orange. And a kid in the 80s said, I did that too and I got a hiding for it in the 80s. Yeah, because it ripped all the paint off and my mum had to take the tape off the walls. Yeah, and I wasted a perfectly good piece of fruit. So the, I didn't know this, but the Italian artist had been selling,

I'm guessing prints of the banana duct tape to the wall for $100,000. Oh, guys. People are dumb. People have got too much money. You could literally do that yourself, right, and take a really nice photo of it. I know the art world and artists hate it when people say, I could literally do that myself.

And they say, why don't you? And there's more thought to it. But when it's a banana taped to a wall. I could literally do that. You could do that yourself. Actually, we have been thinking about doing a bit of a reno in the studio. Maybe we could get some fruit on the walls. Yeah.

And do a little taper. Well, yeah, it's going to court. Really? Yeah. Oh, my God. Is the judge going to be like, I mean, I'm getting paid handsomely for this so cool, but at the same time, surely there's some worthwhile criminal case I could be judging out there or some actual copyright case.

Yeah, I know. It's ridiculous. Question with the banana because I'm just looking at the actual painting. Yeah. Does a banana get replaced every sort of second day? I don't know. Because the banana would turn black. Because it does look a little bit brown in this photo.

Because was he selling a photo of the print or was it a painting? There's lots of photos of people next to a banana on a wall. Right. Maybe it was just an art. Maybe he took one photo and sold just one. Maybe it was short term and then took the photo and then he's been selling the photo as the art. Made $100,000.

Did you see in New Zealand, I was reading last week, they're looking to, like this doesn't apply to me because I don't have any artwork. But like, well not like well-known artists, but if you sell, and New Zealand's going to do this thing like they do in the UK or Europe, where if you sell artwork by

like a live artist, you'll have to give them 5% of whatever you sell it for, royalties. Even though you've already bought it, of someone or whatever, of the. Even though you've already bought it off someone or whatever, off the artist originally, you've got to give them five percent of whatever you sell it for. But not if they're

charging $120,000 for a banana tape to a wall. I'm not giving you a commission on that. If you then sold that to someone else for like $90,000 or $200,000, you'd pay five percent to the artist. On the down low. on the down low? On the down low.

Cashier. A cashier. The art black market. Yes. Well, where do you find the art black market? Blarket. Blarket.com. Blarket.com.

The Blarket. Yeah, but you don't think that artists themselves could monitor the Blarket? Go on the Blarket. You're not allowed to. Damn it. Because at the start, you have to tick the boxes with artwork in it, and they'll be ticking things like bananas taped to walls. And you'll be ticking like the Mona Lisa.

Yeah, Mona Lisa. Yeah. It's silly. I just tried to, you know, everyone's like, that's not art. And everyone's like, what is art? The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. Well, that's that, isn't it? A banana duct taped to the wall can be art.

Can be art, yeah. All right, 12 past six. Next on the show, something that's dividing the internet. Oh, good from you. Really good from you. If you're listening, that's going to make sense when we come back. Dividing. Do you get it?

Yeah, I do. It took him a second. No, I got it. I just appreciated it. I didn't feel like it needed to be lathered. Well, why don't you say it? Oh, that ended the It took him a second. No, I got it. I just appreciated it. I didn't feel like it needed to be lathered. Well, why didn't you say it? Oh, they did the lathering. Yeah.

It was good. Lather me. Sir, I can't. I want that audio sent to me. I want that clipped and sent to my email and also CC'd HR. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley. We all remember the humble ring binder.

And when you'd get your refill in your ring binder, you'd always get the dividers. Yes, for your subjects, different subjects. Your subjects. And there was always, it's like red, orange, blue, green, yellow, right? Were like the classic primary colours. I've just Googled warehouse stationery have a tin tab and're like the classic primary colours. I've just googled, warehouse stationery have a 10 tab

and they just repeat the same colours. So there goes yellow, orange, green, red, blue and then again. And then again. So the internet is ablaze in debate of... Well they're divided. Yeah, that's good. Do you remember the second time it hit again?

It hit again. They're divided over the dividers. Oh, it's good. Do you know what I mean? Like the second time it hit again. It hit again. They divided over the dividers. Oh, it's so good from you. Yeah. About what the corresponding subject to colour. Because I didn't know that this was a thing. In fact, quote this morning to me, I don't think this is a thing. You know, I don't ever remember thinking,

oh, science is definitely green. No. But that makes sense because science is a study of the natural world. Yeah, well, so now the internet is saying it is. They do have corresponding colours. So one person said history is yellow because the history channel is yellow. You see, I'm not going to let big media dictate to me what colour history should be.

Math is red because math is hard. Math is, yeah, it's danger. Math is blue, in my opinion. Science is green because plants are green. English is blue. I don't know, English just seems blue to me. No, English is yellow because it's ridiculous. It's a silly thing, isn't it?

Okay. Because they say the history, they go, the debate starter was saying the subjects are math, science, English and history. Oh, they're missing one. Math, science, English, history, drama. Drama doesn't need a ring binder. Drama doesn't get a ring binder.

Music. You're pretending to be a cat on a stage or at the front of the classroom. Yeah, but I've got to take notes. I've got to take notes on how to perfect the cat. How to be a cat. Right. I've got extensive notes. But now everyone's got their own version of it saying, like,

no, math is blue because it's the coolest. History is red because it makes you think of a flag. Or blood. Oh, yeah, see, history to me is red because it's dangerous and you always learn about the bad stuff that happened in history. Yeah. And often fraught with violence and death. That's somebody that said

science is red. No, science should be green. Science is green. That's the one we're globally agreeing on. Yeah. But now, yeah, I just think I used to go like, put them in, cut the dividers in, and then whatever order of my classes were in at the start of the year i'd be like oh i'm gonna have one big ring binder yeah yeah did

you mm-hmm okay i did for different books no i had books but for like loose sheets and other things i'd stick them in the binder oh so now you're rocking a jewel system well you because you need to use sheets your leaflets yeah your refill what did you write rocking a dual system. A textbook. Well, you're putting your loose sheets, your leaflets. Your refill. What did you write on? A book? I wrote in the book. Oh my God. Oh no, I had an exercise book. Per subject. Yeah. But then a ring binder for my loose leaves. What kind

of loose leaves are you talking about? Worksheets? Yeah, worksheets. Bin them. No, you're not supposed to bin them. You're going to refer to them later. No, I bin them because they were always just like pop quizzes and stuff. I remember it was this Marcy on refill. Hard for me. I was a left-hander.

But also refill sucks because you'd clip it into your ring binder and then you'd move it slightly and it would tear straight through. Oh, you needed the eyelets. I know the eyelets. But then who's rocking around with a little box of eyelets on them? Oh, pack of eyelets. Yeah. That sucked.

It was in a book. Hardcover book. Spend a little bit more eyelets on them. Pack of eyelets. Yeah. That sucked. It was in a book. Hardcover book. Spend a little bit more. Get a hardcover book. No, if you were poor, you just got a little bit of sellotape and then hole punched the sellotape. Yes. Oh, shame.

That wasn't even poor. Shame. That wasn't even poor. That was just, it worked better. And then the ring binder bit would go skew-iff and not meet together anymore. Yes. Yep. Has ring binder technology advanced any since the late 90s?

I look ring binder. I bet it's just still the same junk that it was back then. Big ones, eh? And you were like, couldn't even fit in your bag. They were horrible

to carry around. They were. No, they look exactly the same. Terrible. They're a lot smaller, these ones, so maybe each subject has a ring binder now.

A petite. I wouldn't be able to fit that in my rip curl backpack. Here's the other thing. Say history's at the bottom so you've got to flip over all your math stuff. The weight when you pushed it up

and rolled it over would always skew if the ring binder in the middle is wearable. Oh my God. And when you flip it and then the ring binder goes skew if

and then all the sheets come out. Yes. It's all out of order. This is what I'm saying. Get a heart. And then if you want to keep your leaflets, glue them in your book.

Should we cancel the ring binder? I think so. Isn't everyone just doing everything on a Chromebook or a MacBook now anyway? True. Where are we at with parchment and quill? I think they might be kind of just tethering out a little bit. Oh, yeah.

Okay. I think it's lost its audience. Damn it. Lost its audience. I like you. I do. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM.

From the bustling ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Why we got a bank? I thought we already owned Kiwi Bank. Or did we own it? Crown is buying the company that owns Kiwi Bank from the superannuation fund ACC and NZ Post. Right. So, yeah, kind of.

But isn't that us anyway? Kind of. But not really. Okay. Did we buy something off ourselves? Yeah. That seems silly. The Pope gave ourselves a good deal.

I reckon we would have cut ourselves a good deal. Yeah, I know. But I also want to profit from our purchase. Yeah, yeah. Well, okay, this might be a little bit... What a situation to find ourselves in. This might be a little bit communist, but hear me out. Why don't we all...

I reckon we'll soundbite that one as well. It's a little clip. It might sound about communist. Yeah, it might sound about communist. But why don't we all put our mortgage... Like, why don't they give us a real sweet mortgage rate and we all put our mortgages in Kiwi Bank? Because they wouldn't have enough money to mortgage everybody.

But they're the government. Just print some. That's what all I say. Just print more. Go to the factory. But if we all had our mortgages with, like, you know, the government-owned bank, then all the profits would go in

and the billions of dollars would be... But they'd have to gradually do it because they wouldn't have enough cash reserves to keep that 20%, but also mortgage everybody's situation. They'd need to borrow more money off someone which would just perpetuate the issues before they find themselves facing it. Okay, we all work on potato farms.

Okay, go on. Now we're talking. Now we're talking. And we all get paid the same and eat all the potatoes. What if someone doesn't work? Like, what if someone, this work, like everybody... Oh, we send them to a gulag. They're not pulling Their weight you mean

Yeah Okay Yeah I'm not having that Yeah Okay What about people That can't work Yeah

Well they can be On the semis Well we need some Fertilisers for the potatoes Don't we Yeah Okay Let's flesh out

This a bit later Let's flesh out The potato farm Let's clip that One part where Fletch said this might sound a bit communism The next part we should all walk on potato farms And send them to Gulags Hey I'm just trying to get the country some money

Guys At potato farms You know these banks are always like we've made 2 billion dollars this year I'm like why don't we have some of that Communism never wanted to make money They just wanted to keep everybody going And that also looks really cold when you turn to communism What about Cuba We have some of that. Communism never wanted to make money. They just wanted to keep everybody going. Yeah, right. And that also looks really cold when you turn to communism, though.

What about Cuba? Communism is cold, eh? Cuba was warm. Oh, Cuba's very beautiful. And they drive some really nice 1950s cars. In the Caribbean, it's beautiful. Oh, you're stunning. Let's do the Cuban communism. Yes.

And not like cold communism. Nah, Cuba, you had to go to a little square for the internet for an hour. You had to get a little scratch card with your code. And you would never be able to watch Love Island there. Shoot. So you don't want to do that. So do Kewpie communism. Anyway, carry on with your banking ideas.

So, yeah, the Crown's purchased that. So, bank time, baby. I've got the top six things the government should do with Kiwi Bank immediately. Okay. Number six, free pens. But, show BNZ what's what. Not just pens, Sharpies. Ooh.

Yeah, nice having a Sharpie. You always steal a pen when you went to the bank. Yep. Yeah, good pens. Yeah, it's the very least I could steal. I went to the bank the other day, like in the actual bank, for the first time in years. What were you doing in there?

Because I had to close an account and I couldn't do it on the phone. They said I had to go in. What was it like? It was weird. It was just like everyone was in a mask and it was real quiet. Yeah. And there were like lots of old people in there. There was an old woman. She was like, I think my card's been used on the internet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there were lots of old people in there. There was an old woman.

She was like, I think my card's been used on the internet. Oh, bless. The last time I went to the bank as well, there was a woman saying, I want the pay wave off here because I have no say as to who's using it, who's accessing my money. I was like, you do? I want to disable it.

I just want a normal EFTPOS card. They're like, we don't really do those anymore. Well, last time I was in a bank, a woman was yelling at them for not being open as much as they used to be. Oh, yeah. You're only open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a few hours. You're making record profits. You need to look after us.

She's not wrong. She's not wrong. Maybe she'd be interested in my banking ideas. Potato farms and gulags. Yeah, could totally be. Number five on the list of the top six things the government should do with their Kiwi Bank immediately. Bring back deposit slips to scribble on and, like, just send you some. Yeah.

So you can be at home and you can write, like, $1 million. Yeah, that was fun as a kid, eh? It was fun. Just making up a random bank account thing and then being, like, giving it to your mum and being like, there you go. Yeah, that was fun as a kid, eh? It was fun. Just making up a random bank account thing and then being like, giving it to your mum and being like, there you go. Yeah, yeah.

See what they do. Give it to them. See what they do. They might do it. They might just transfer it. It might be someone's account and there might be a million dollars in there. Number four on the list

of the top six things the government should do with Kiwi Bank immediately. Just put Bluey on in that TV in the front area to distract your kids. Oh, yeah. Bluey's a great show. I know he's Australian, but he's great. There is a Kiwi on there as well, but just a bit of Bluey on in that TV in the front area to distract your kids Bluey's a great show I know he's Australian but he's great

there is a Kiwi on there as well but just a bit of Bluey I could sit down and give myself a 10 minute episode of Bluey if I was in the bank absolutely this is a little reward

for going to the bank number 3 on the list of the top 6 things the government should do with Kiwi Bank immediately piggy banks with a bit of spice you know like you had your cash in

the elephant piggy bank you had your cash in the elephant piggy bank. You had your Westpac helicopter piggy bank. Yeah. The National Bank used to have the rear-ring black stallion piggy bank. A bit of spicy piggy bank. Well, like what? Well, what about a Kiwi? But every time you put money in it, it made the little Kiwi noise,

and it told you at the bottom you could push a button and it'd tell you how much money was in there. Oh, that's a good idea. Oh, that's cute. It kept a tally, and every time you took the bottom off and push a button and it'd tell you how much money was in there. Oh, that's a good idea. Oh, that's cute. It kept the tally and every time you took the bottom off and shook all the money out

it reset the counter. Yeah, good idea. That's just literally off the top of my head. Number two on the list of the top six things the government should do with Kiwi Bank immediately,

pneumatic tubes to shoot money around. Oh, that's fun. I like seeing those. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, they're like, you want to deposit some money? Okay, we'll just put it in here.

And away it goes. Yeah. Oh, you want to withdraw some money? I've got'll just put it in here. And away it goes. Oh, you want to withdraw some money? I got a da-da-da-da. Can the bank also do curly fries? Absolutely. Yeah, they can send you out all sorts of things. And number one on the list of the top six things the government should do with KiwiBank immediately.

It's an ATM machine. Yeah. But just before it gives you your cash, it asks if you want to play the pokies with it. And if you say yes, you pull the arm down and it could like double your money. And then you're waiting in line to use the ATM and someone gets 15 free spins. And then they're there for 24 hours.

Okay, one pull of the arm. One pull of the arm. If you get free spins, sorry everybody else, you've just got to wait. You've just got to wait. That is today's top six. I may seem a little tired this morning, and that's because at 3.30am, which is 30 minutes before my alarm, which is such an annoying amount of time.

Oh, yeah, I've had a fire alarm, like, for the building go off at three, and I just stayed up. Well, this is what happened to us. Because there was no point going back to sleep. So we're in this front room of our house at the moment and I was in the middle of a dream and I think it was a really rich, deep dream. But it's all gone now because I was rudely awakened by a smoke alarm going off at 3.30 in the morning.

And I had no idea what it was. It was kind of, it was flashing red as well, like the little light bit because the house was dark. I could see it. And it shook me awake. And I always said, like, it's always I'm a feminist. But when it comes to these sort of emergencies, I'm always

like, Erin! Erin, help! And we got up and the smoke alarm was going off, 3.30 in the morning. And then I said, oh, quickly, we've got the ladder. Because we've been doing some reno stuff. And so I went've got the ladder because we've been doing some reno stuff. And so I went and got the ladder because we've got high stud ceilings. They don't want to write for themselves.

You don't want to brag, but you've got high stud ceilings. I think most houses in New Zealand do. But anyway, so we got the ladder and then that's when I was laughing because we were nude and airing up a ladder. There's these windows in our lounge and if you had to have been on a 3.30 a.m. walk this morning along our street, you would have seen a very tall man,

very nude. Up a ladder. Swatting at the ceiling. And were you there too, kind of helping and holding the ladder? Helping and holding. And then being like, what's happening? But it's happened twice. And I don't know why these smoke alarms are just going off.

Imagine walking past the house and seeing two nude people up a ladder at 3.30 in the morning. And it's like, are they swatting the smoke machine or are they just dancing? Yeah, yeah. Woo! Hot. Yeah. Neighbourhood. It'll get around that these are the 3 a.m. naked ladder users.

Was there a fire? No. Why did the alarm go off? No, but the thing is, it does make you think because twice our house has kind of accidentally caught on fire. We had the time when the whole, the water was pouring out of the light switch. Water was pouring out of the

light switch and I touched it and it was hot to the touch. And then the second time, Aaron had an extension cord running into a vacuum when he was vacuuming inside the roof. And and they were like and then the whole power point had caught fire and the inside of the wall was ablaze.

You've got an old house. A really old villa. Very old house. But I also think it's been rewired but some of it's been rewired I think by the previous owner. This happened to me like a couple of years ago. We'd just gone to a bangers bingo in Hamilton and got home and it was like

11.30 and then the smoke alarm just went off and I was in a deep sleep and I woke up and I was like oh my god and I was like

well what's where's the fire there wasn't a fire because I'd taken it down and it turns out I googled it's like some of the really cheap smoke alarms

can get affected by dust yeah because I'd been I'd been doing some like, I think there was some plastering and sanding and it was just in the room, the dust. That's what we were doing. We ripped up carpet yesterday

and we ripped off some of the wall. And it can get into the... It would have been a dust thing. So I ended up getting those, you know those little tiny, they're real, they're bougie ass. And they're the ones that last for 10 years? Yeah, yep.

I've heard good things. You don't need to keep changing the batteries all the time. Do I need those? And because those have got smaller grills around the sides, so the dust doesn't get in as much. Because it woke me up and I said to Aaron, hey, at least we know it's working. But he was like, it's not working.

Because there's no fire. But then you can't go back to sleep because you're like, what if there are wires in the wall on fire and I just can't smell it? Also, I did look at our house yesterday and think, God, you don't want this house to burn. Because it's all... Is it sack? It's all wood behind the walls.

And hessian? It's a very old house. It'd go up in about 30 seconds. My house is made out of a sack. A very flammable sack. A flammable sack. An old, dry, flammable sack. Oh, no.

All right, well, you're alive. I'm alive, I'm well, and to my local community, you're welcome if you were having an early stroll this morning. Play it. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, Shazam is 20 years old. No. What?

No. It says to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of Shazam. Now, I thought it was only an app on a phone, and phones haven't been around 20 years? No. Commemorate the 20-year anniversary of Shazam. Now, I thought it was only an app on a phone, and phones haven't, have phones been around 20 years? No. Like smartphones? Not like, not appy phones. Not appy smartphones, right?

20 years ago, I was 12. What was Shazam before it was Shazam? Yeah, that's what I'm finding out now. I'm going straight to the online encyclopedia known as Wikipedia. Okay. Have you ever donated to Wikipedia? Absolutely not. Well, you use it all the time, don't you?

Because they don't always agree with my opinion, so how dare they? Right. Fact. Initially in 2002, the service was launched only in the UK and was known as 2580. The number was the short code that customers dialed from their mobile phones to get music recognised. Oh, okay.

So you would call. The phone would automatically hang up after 30 seconds. A result was then sent to the user in the form of a text message containing the song title and artist name. Was it people listening to the song? Surely not. Because do you remember those question text things in the 2000s

where if you had a question, you would text a number and it was just people sitting in a room of computers and they would just stalk people or they'd answer it for you? There was more to it. Was there? Because it was sometimes you'd ask about somebody and they'd do something that

wasn't Google-able. It was before social media was as prevalent. Yeah, I remember things. What with Bongo? Yeah, Bongo. It was like, do you want to know about someone? Text Bongo now. Text your push into Bongo.

I thought they just Facebook stalked you and did a Google. And in those days, that was amazing to all of us. Oh, yeah. That someone would even have the audacity to do that. Bongo. Yeah. So it's been a music recognising service for 20 years. Shazam launched in the US on AT&T Wireless in 2004.

And so, yeah, you would do the same thing. It would charge you 99 cents per song identifier. In 2006, they were charged 60 pence per call in the UK. Wow. In 2006, exclusively became an app on the Amped mobile cellular service. Wow. Then in 2008, it debuted on iPhone, and it was the first time it was free, and it would give you a link directly to iTunes,

and you could buy the song directly. Wow. And they were probably getting a cut of that. Well, they have, yes, celebrated their 20th anniversary and Shazam have released their most Shazammed artist and it is Drake. Drake.

With 350 million Shazams. Do you think that's a compliment as an artist? Do you know what I mean? Or an insult because then you're like, people don't know my music. Or, I mean, they're obviously liking the song so they want to know who's singing it. But yeah, you're unrecognizable.

Insult. Insult, yeah. You could take it either way, couldn't you? I hate it. Do you remember there'd always be those, what was it before Reddit? Answer.com, you know, like. Answers.

Quora or whatever. Answers. Or Yahoo Answers. Yeah whatever, or Yahoo Answers. Yeah, something like Yahoo Answers. And you'd be like, what's that song that goes dun-da-dun-da-dun, dee-da-dun-da-dun, dun-dun-dun, and people be like, it's the Bongo song. You remember?

And I would always go on those things and be like, what's that song that's like dee-dee-dee-da? And then people be like, it's Elton John. Yeah. Oh, my god. His most popular Shazam single track is One Dance, 17 million

Shazams. But again, compliment or insult? Catchy song that was everywhere that maybe not everybody knew. But then also the people who use Shazam like my parents wouldn't know about Shazam. Yeah. They'd just have to wait for the song to finish.

So the person on the radio said the name of the song and then if they liked it, they'd quickly write it down and then they'd go to Trax Music Store and buy the CD single. Yes. It's like now that I work here, if my mum's listening, which she does every day, good morning, mum, or good evening. She's in Italy. She'll just text me and be like, what was that song? I like that one. So you're your mum Shazam. I like that one. Yeah. Like it's Lizzo. Yeah. She'll text me and be like, what was that song? I like that one. So you're your mum Shazam. I like that one.

Yeah. Like, it's Lizzo. Yeah. She'll just give me like, I like that. I'll be like, that's also Lizzo, mum. I think mum's quite a big fan of Lizzo. She won't lie, Lizzo. She's really loving Lizzo.

Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. HBO's House of the Dragon, which is out on Neon. It came out, premiered last night. This is the prequel to Game of Thrones. I was just following Millie Olcock, who is the lead. Yeah. Who plays... Man, I tell you what. The names, eh?

I would pay someone good money if I could flashcard every Targaryen and they could tell me their name. Rekt. Because it'd be an impressive skill. There's Viserys, Viserys? Anyway, the main girl. Yeah, the young,

that's giving us strong Daenerys vibes. Strong. Yeah. And she has, this is her first, like, huge gig, really.

Yeah. She was living in her mum's attic washing dishes when she got the call that she, um. Wait, they have a sink in the attic?

No, no, no, like washing dishes for a living. And living in the attic. Oh, right. Accommodation, attic, job, dishes. Right, okay. And currently

I just went and followed her on Instagram. She's got 97,000 followers and I really think that's going to change. Yes, it will. And she's probably looking at being like,

oh my God, that's so many. Yeah, it'll be millions in no time. HelloFresh. She's going to be doing some HelloFresh promo. HelloFresh discount code. How long before she's doing a HelloFresh promo code? I reckon we're like days away. Days away.

And she'll have a big juicy code. Coming up on the poll, quite a controversial silly little poll today. Do you secretly want to break up with your partner? How many people in New Zealand who answered this poll, thousands by the way, want to break up with their partner secretly? It might surprise you.

We've got a yummy yummy next on the show. We do. Something that has divided our little team. This one tickles me. This is the segment of the show where we talk about new food items and trends that are popping up. Yeah, and don't get too excited because I don't know that this is actually going to come to New Zealand. But we've got Heinz baked beans. Yeah, we always seem to get the Aussie stuff. Most of it.

We're a Wadis nation. Yeah, we are. It's an act of war. Just declaring that Heinz is a better baked bean than a Wadis. I know. Heinz is British, right? Do Heinz own Wadis? Are they just different versions of the same thing? Hold on, let me hear.

You know that graph you see online and it's like there are seven companies that own everything? In 1992, the Wadis group was bought from Goodman Fielder by American-based H.J. Heinz Company for $565 million. No, but they taste different. They're different brands, but they're owned by, so they are owned by them. There's big baked beans, eh?

Big baked beans. You know, I was out there ready to defend what is, and it turns out I was defending it from itself all along. Yeah, wow. Well, Hines Baked Beans, they've now released a new product. It's called Heinz Beans Filled Hash Browns. So imagine more of a log-based hash brown with a bit more height on it, scooped out, stuffed with beans.

How do they stop the beans from choking shrew? Well, I don't know, but if you look at it, it's like it's kind of been pre-sealed. It's like a... How would you describe that? Like a pocket? What did they change the name of those

tip-top ice creams? Eskimo pies. What did they call them? They changed the names. Explorer pie. Explorer pie. No, they called the lollies explorers. I don't know if they called the pies.

But it's that kind of shape. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a log. A log with a bit of kind of girth to it. Because would you call that hash brown? Because I thought hash browns need to be like flatter. But that's like a log, a log tube and it's filled with baked beans. I think they've just made

bigger hash browns. I don't know how they've made them though. It's like a casing. It's like they must get a big tube and then stick it in. When the hash browns have been cooked

and already frozen because otherwise the beans would just juice through. Juice through, but when you bake them in the oven are they going to juice through?

They're definitely going to juice through. I mean, yum. Or you could just get a tin of baked beans and then put them on your hash brown. Okay, mum. There's milk in the fridge. Give me a break. We've got some food at home. Shut up, mum.

Because then you're going to get juice. Like the best thing about baked beans is all the sauce. And it goes over all the hash brown and it soaks it up. I think this is unnecessary effort because if you put a beans stuffed hash brown in your mouth or you put some hash brown and some baked beans in your mouth, it all turns into the same

thing. And you know those beans are going to be molten, frigging, lava. It'll be like an apple pie in the dry through and you're like, yeah, this will be fine. I don't know. I would absolutely give this a hoon with a little bit of in the dry through and you're like, yeah, this will be fine. You're like, ha ha ha. I don't know, I would absolutely give this a hoon

with a little bit of egg sauce on the side. Alright, well, how do you guys do your hash browns on the weekend if you're going to rock a hash brown?

I don't. I don't really. I do a McDonald's hash brown. But do you never cook your own hash browns? Nah. Only if it was like an occasion,

like we had a big group of people staying. Toaster? No, oven. I'd go toaster. Always in the toaster. Because it's lazy. Oven! Nah, oven. I'd go toaster. Always in the toaster. Because it's lazy. No, too.

Toaster. Because you've got a four-slice toaster, so you can get two in each one. You've got eight hash browns. No, you do a tray. Oh, yeah. In the oven. Flip them halfway.

That tray's got to be hot when they hit the tray, otherwise they can sog up on the bottom. Sog on the bottom. Don't baking paper them. All right, well, hash brown logs filled with baked beans have popped up in Australia. It's got it where?'s surely imminent in New Zealand.

Surely. Hash brown with spaghetti in the middle. Tell me about that. No, spaghetti's trash. What are you talking about? Spaghetti's trash. Spaghetti's better than baked beans. What about hash browns but like bacon bits in them?

Cheese. And cheese. I'd do a log, a hash brown log with bacon and cheese and egg. You shut your beautiful mouth. No, no, not egg. Not egg? Not egg. Do your own egg.

No, eggs on the side. Do your own egg. Eggs on the side. You shut your face. Do your own egg. Don't be putting egg in there. Don't be putting powdered egg between powdered. It's going to be powdered egg.

It would be, yeah. It's not going to be that good egg. Just trying to watch this video of a guy attempting to bust a myth because apparently there's a myth about the Tesla. Tesla or Tisla? I said Tesla. I said Tesla like the Dutch surname. Okay.

It's my auntie before she got married and became a Smith. She was a Tesla. But was it spelt T-E? No, no, she's an electric car. My auntie's an electric car. Right. I haven't thought about that. No, it's Tesla.

It's not. Tesla. Tesla. So we're saying it like a Z. Yeah. Could it be? Z-L-A-R. Tesla.

Tesla. Tesla. Tesla. No, but it's American. Is Tesla one smoking a beer? Maybe it's American. Is Tishla want to smoke a pint? Maybe it's Tishla. Tishla got the wooden shush. Okay, you're feeling a lot of people now.

Can you take your clogs off before you come into my Tishla, please? I've charged it off the power of the window. We're going to plant the tulips. Is that the worst Dutch accent ever? Yes, it is. Or is it okay? I don't know why you can't open your mouth properly. I'm doing Dutch Sean Connery.

You're really offending our Dutch listeners this morning. We've got a huge Dutch. We do have a huge Dutch contingency. Yeah, Dutch listening base. The podcast is big in Dutchland. Deutschland, that's Germany. No, Dutchland. That that's Germany no Dutchland that's

yeah what I think you're after is Holland Dutch Holland yes the Netherlands big in the Netherlands

the Netherlands yes we're all over the nether regions yeah man we know so much about your country I know you used to be

very short oh yeah used to be a very little people really yes very malnourished. And then sort of a great example of modern agriculture and dieting.

And then they've shot up now. You know some tall duchies? Yeah, we all know tall duchies. Big, straight duchies. And they always wear orange as their national sporting team. And I always think they have the best uniform at the World Cup of any World Cup. Yeah, they stand out, don't they?

Just orange, yeah. Sometimes they look like road workers. Yeah. Good looking people too, I think. Fair to say. Hotties.

Okay, well this story has nothing to do with the Dutch. Nothing. You must welcome. But we digress. But we digress back to the topic at hand

Oh no it's changed Don't know what happened there I lost it a little bit So this guy Not Dutch at all In fact he lives in America This video by the way Is still available on Twitter

Although it has been removed from YouTube To dispel the myth That the Tesla full self-driving beta software runs over kids. He put his kids on the road. To see if the Tesla would stop. And drove towards them in a Tesla. So was he in the car? He was in the car.

So he could have hit the brakes. He could have hit the brakes, yes. But he also fully believed that it would. He's a bit of a Tesla fan. I don't know much about the Teslas, but do you have to pay for the self-driving option? It's additional software. What?

Is it like a CD, you know, like where you get an extension pack? I think it's already in there. You just pay to... This is the thing about super smart cars, is that, what was it, the BMW? There was this big thing in Europe about people had to pay for the heated seats. Heated seats. Yes.

They were there, installed, everything was in, but they had to pay to unlock it. Oh, my God. Yeah, and BMWs and stuff. It's going to be the future of cars. Yeah. Subscribe to features. Yeah, subscribe to car, like window wipers. In-game purchase.

It's an in-car purchase. Oh, my God. So it starts raining. You're like, shoot. Oh, my God. Get my wallet. Get my wallet. Download the wipers. $4.99 for wipers. In-game purchase. It's an in-car purchase. Oh my God. So it starts raining. You're like, shoot. Oh my God. Get my wallet. Get my wallet. Download the wipers.

$4.99 for wipers. I'm just going to drive blind. Just do it. I'm just going to, I'm going to pay the $2.99 for the auto stop function, which is cheaper and it'll just stop me if I'm about to smash into something. Do you remember when Boeing had that for their new planes and people weren't, that's why those planes crashed. Because they were like additional safety features

that they weren't paying for. It's in that Boeing documentary, you know. That's wild. Just charge more for the car and give it everything. Exactly. That's what I think.

That's what you do for recreation, recreational things like video games. Yeah. Candy crush. Yeah, candy crush. Bejeweled blitz. So you don't do it for cars. So there's a bit of outrage

because a lot of people are trying to run their kids over No he just said This will work And so he drove Towards his children And it stopped When the kid was standing

In the middle of the road And then he's like Okay well what about A moving child And he gets the kid To walk across the road As he approaches And it stops again

But it's been removed From YouTube because It's traumatising It's crazy It was a bit of a risk to take. But yeah, YouTube have removed it saying it breaches various... Right, do they stop...

Putting children in danger and all that. If a parent influencer was doing wacky things with their kids like I've put this helmet on my kid. Boof! Crack him over the head with a baseball bat. Look at how well it worked. That'd remove that as well.

Probably not good. Yeah. So do they stop even if you don't pay for the, or do you have to pay for the don't run people over subscription? No, you could pay extra. Otherwise your kids get run over. Every kid's going to get run over. No, I think it's still, it's not like,

it's there to be used but not fully like trusted 100%. It's still in the testing mode. It's gathering data from its area scans and adding that all to the database. Right. All that. Okay. Yeah, but don't. Don't try this at home.

Please don't try this at home and please don't attempt to run over your kids. And please remember it's a specific car. So don't get in your Mazda 3 today and think, I didn't know that these did this. And to our Dutch listeners, goedemorgen. No, you're apologising. No, that's good morning. Silly little pole. It is so silly, silly, silly that the silly little pole. Silly little pole.

Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little pole is absolutely outrageous. I am, I am, I am smacked in the gob. My gob is smacked. Right. That's a smack. That's a smack.

That's a smack gob. I was surprised when I voted in this, and I didn't even have a partner to vote, but I did anyway because I just wanted to see. And I was like, wow, more than I thought. I also love that sometimes our silly little polls are things that like, do you eat your jam with your crackers? Yeah.

So today's question. Do you secretly want to break up with your partner? 11,500 people. I'll give you some stats here. 11,500 people saw this like, or maybe skipped past. Yeah. However, we have had over 5,500 direct votes. Because people like you, without a partner,

probably was just like, ooh, skip. Yep. We run a good poll. Oh, we run a good poll. Can you work out, how's your mathematics? Say we've got 5,500. How much is this percentage? Because 88% of people...

I'll work that one out. What are you going to Google? What's the percentage? Yeah, what? No, you don't do that. Vaughan is terrible at on-the-fly maths. What's 12% of... Or two. Anyway, 88% of people know they don't want to break up with their partner, but 12%

do, secretly, want to break up with their partners. Why are they with their partners? Is it because, like, life admin, rent? You'd have to find...? So many reasons I imagine. You have to move out. Rent would be more because you have to live by yourself. Oh my, and times are tough.

Yeah. Which is sad. Oh my God, he's got his little tongue out while he's trying to work on this calculation. Okay, so I accidentally, this is what I, the iPhone calculator needs to be able to just delete one. I pressed one too many zeros

so I had to start again. Yeah. So 48% of people who saw this poll voted in it. Yep. That's not what I wanted to know. Oh, what did you want to know? How many people voted in it and what percent of that is 12%? How many people want to leave their partner based on our poll?

It's broken down for me, right? I didn't even need to get the calculator that's literally written in front of me. Okay, that was what I was going to move to next because I thought that was the next step in the logical statistics. You worked so hard to give me a... 48% of people who saw the poll voted in it.

Of those votes, 12% said yes, they want to break up with their partner and that equates to 634 people. This is the part that smacked my gob. Gob smacked! It's really smacked. That is wild, isn't it?

634 people! And that's only, I mean, if you take that to the entire country. Exactly! Wow. Even if you just extrapolate it to, of that 11,500 people, the age groups that they fall into and expand that to the country. Yeah, were you laughing at Vaughan's use of extrapolate? No, I'm laughing at the fact that Carl Weiner sent us some messages in

and one of them was, I slip them off unless my wife is watching. And I was like, eh? But this is from our last poll. Do you untie your shoes or just slip them off? I was like, what do But this is from our last poll. Do you untie your shoes? Or just slip them off? I was like, what do you mean you slip off your wife? Anyway, some actual feedback on do you secretly want to break up with your

partner? Hell no. I count myself lucky to have found him every single day. I adore him. Purple heart. Purple heart. But then her partner messaged and saying yes. I will say that I did not. I recognize him from the profile picture. They look cute. Lies, lies.

Yes, I do. Sick of his OCD, putting so much pressure on our general life. It's always his way or no way. And it's too much. Oh, okay. Wow. Yes, but we have a house and a baby together. Too much admin.

Yeah, bog them down in admin. Bog them down. That's one slight motto. I'm just making sure none of these profile pictures are my wife. That's why I keep going off mic to look at the profile, but we're not reading names. I've secretly wanted, oh, I secretly wanted to break up for months, and I only ended it two weeks ago.

So you've done it. Go you. Took a little bit longer than you wanted, but you got it done, didn't you? Oh, I only just got engaged last week, but before that was definitely on the table. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Stop. Yeah, don't.

An engagement ring's not going to, it's pretty shiny and like an engagement, like the title, my fiance might be an exciting title, but if it was on the cards before the proposal, it's going to be back on the cards soon. But then you're going to get too close to the wedding And get all excited about that And then you're going to get married And then pretty soon after that

You're going to be like Oh this didn't fix it And then you're going to be like Maybe a child will And then you'll have a child Maybe a dog first And then a child And then another child

And then you'll be like Maybe three's the magic number And then you've got three kids You're in your 40s This guy's been an asshole for 20 years. Yeah. Pull the plug now. I'm just sick of going to all these weddings

and contributing to the honeymoon fund and they break up. I never get a refund. Never. Do you file for a refund? 50% of weddings I've gone to have ended in divorce. 50%. Yikes.

That's when they're splitting their stuff. I like to go around and take a couple of appliances that I got them that were on their wish list. Yeah, right. I gave you enough money

to have that panini press and this blender. Yeah, I got somebody a George Foreman once. I don't know where that is now. You know what? I bet they didn't take care

of the George Foreman anyway and the Teflon coating all went a bit, you know, they didn't really care for their George. You've got to care for your George. No wonder the relationship fell apart.

And our last piece of feedback, we have broken up, but when we were still together I used to have dreams I was going on Tinder dates and sleeping with guys and in the dream I'd realise I had a boyfriend and I'd say to myself he wouldn't care anyway, which was a dead giveaway. But I should have ended the relationship. Dreams were telling you.

You've got to follow your dreams. To move. To get out there. That's a saucy little juicy little silly little poll. ZM's Bonus Banger.

Alright, today's Bonus Banger. Hey guys. Yep. This is probably somebody's just because I said you can't delete

one thing on the iPhone You can You swipe You swipe You swipe from right to left and it deletes What? Guys Stop

Guys Stop Press again Smack your gob Well gob smacked You can delete one We got so many The text machine is literally lit up with vaunts

You can delete one number Yeah Swipe You've made a mistake I didn't mean to put the three Swipe back one But so many, the text machine is literally lit up with vaunts. You can delete one number. Yeah, swipe. You've made a mistake. Oh, I didn't mean to put the three. Swipe back one. Do you know how many years of taxes? Do you know how many times I've started again? Put this on TikTok, Carwin.

Put this on TikTok. Put it on TikTok. I'm shocked. No, you've got to do a start. You've got to do a start for a TikTok. Like a, did you know? And that funny voice. Do it now.

Yeah, do it now. Do you make silly mistakes on calculators? There's a hack. Because they love the hack. Yeah, they love the hack. And then, oh,

I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy,

I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy,

I'm a big dummy, I'm a big dummy, back one, back one, back one, back one, back one, back one,

Yeah, that's amazing. This has rocked my world. It's swipe either way, by the way. Oh, is it? If you're adverse to swiping right, you can swipe left. That's amazing. Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe. Thank you to it? If you're adverse to swiping right, you can swipe left. That's amazing.

Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe. Thank you to everybody in this. I was today years old. Absolutely incredible. That's how you start your TikTok. I was today years old when. I was today years old when. Yeah.

Great stuff, guys. Let's get that on TikTok ASAP. Hey, listeners, have a look out on TikTok. Chip chop on you, chip chop. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. A statistician called James from the Notten. He would have known about the

backwards thing on the iPhone calculator. What a revelation. If you've just joined the show, you put one too many digits if you're doing a calculator on the iPhone, swipe one way or the other, and it'll delete the last digit. Just really, really pleased with that. And here it came.

We all knew it was coming. The Samsung calculator deletes one digit. Cool, man. It just takes a while for the iPhone to catch up with some things. Okay, cool. It was a great idea. Thanks for it. This statistician has worked out the mathematical formula to predict if your child will have a meltdown on a long car journey.

As a child, I got car sick, so I was always on the verge of just like, I was wound up in there. Oh, backseat chunny. Open the door, I have a chunny. We didn't even stop stop I'd just say slow down I've got to be sick and dad would be like

ugh and that's why I always sat behind mum because if I open the door and I sat behind dad we might get taken out by a car going the other way yes

slow down and pull over a little bit I'd open the door and I have a chunny out onto the side of the road right great for the pedestrians yep

if we were anywhere with any pedestrians but this guy's worked out the mathematical formula for a tantrum in the car. It is T equals 70 plus half E. Now, E is for entertainment. All of these numbers, by the way, represent minutes. Plus 15F.

F is for food. Minus 10S. So minus 10 if there's a sibling. Okay. Now I don't know if for every sibling you minus another 10. Right. Because they do say like for entertainment it's a half a minute

for every time the kid's entertained. It's going to give you a half a minute till the tantrum. Okay. So that's whether you're playing a game with them or singing a song with them. It's going to give you half a minute. So what's the average time for a tantrum? 70 minutes. So 70 minutes, and then for every time you're entertained,

it gives you another 30 seconds. A snack, which is food, will give you 15 more minutes. But then minus if you had one or two siblings, that's minus 20. Well, if it's two siblings and you're in the middle and you've got direct physical contact with both,

I believe it would be minus 20. Yeah, right. So it's within about an hour. Correct, yes. That there will be a fight in the backseat. And that's a mathematical equation. Yes. Wow.

Imagine doing that in a country. I mean, like, we're all right. You know, you've only got eight hours up and down each island-ish. Yeah. You know what I mean? Auckland to Wellington, say. Yeah. But if you lived in Australia

and you had to drive across the outback and you were in there for a couple of days. Long straight road. Yeah, horrible. It'd be horrible. You'd have to have a plan. We always lived in fear in the backseat because we had a bit of alkythene pipe,

a black piece of alkythene pipe that farmers used for, you know, troughs and stuff, water pipes, but also for disciplining their children in the 80s and 90s. And it just sat there. And if shit got a bit raucous in the back seat, it would just be swung blindly. Dad wouldn't look. He'd keep trying.

I love that. Not poking, swinging. Yeah. Swatting. And he wouldn't stop until he connected three times. Now, the idea was the law of averages meant that was one child each. Yeah. But if you tucked your legs right in and tried to get out of the way,

one could get two. Yeah. One could get three. Michelle could have got all three. Michelle could have got all three because she was always in the middle. Yeah. But I always feel like he went a bit lower than her legs. Yeah, right.

She could lift the legs up. Okay. It was really intended for the two boys. But, yeah yeah three hits And then Wow The poor sister Always having to go in the middle

How lame Yeah she was in the middle She always had to go in the middle Because she was the smallest Because she was the smallest And she was a girl Yeah Because you and your brother

And they cared about her less Because I assume in an impact She would fly through the windscreen Yeah but your father needs an heir You know He does He does And a daughter

A male heir to the Iron Throne, of course. Because you and your brother fought a lot. So did me and my brother. Insanely so. Hayley's just told us off-air that you and your brother

never fought. No. At all, ever. Maybe we had like a grumble every now and then. We never fought. Ever. Was there a reason for that?

Yeah, my brother and I had a bit of an accident when I was really young. And my brother ended up smashing my face with a golf club by accident. Okay. And it really like, my theory is it kind of traumatized him. And he never wanted to be mean to me again. You know, or make me sad again. So we just never fought.

So you would have whacked your brother with something? Oh, I cracked him in the face with a hockey stick. You kept going? His cheek were right open and it was like a bone of contention for years. Yeah, no. We just never fought. I don't know why. Wow. He was really, he was like, I was very rambunctious, this may shock you.

Like very energetic. I'm gobsmacked for the third time this hour. But my brother was more sort of quiet sensitive. Right. And it was just a good mix. I remember after school

like you would just there would be some raucous fights and you'd just have to get to the bathroom and lock the door. Yeah, Aaron's brothers used to like chase each other

with chains and like whip each other with chains. Yeah, knives, bats, anything, yeah. When I hear their stories I'm like, oh my God. Yeah, it was wild.

Just me and my brother and my brother was like, you alright? Yeah, I'm good.. Just me and my brother. My brother was like, you all right? Yeah, I'm good. I threw a cricket wicket when my brother was running away from me once. I flung a cricket wicket and it did the perfect thing. I got between his legs and like, boom, and he hit the ground. And then, bam, I was on top of him. And then he turned around and I just remember seeing in his eyes

and I was like, I am in big trouble now. Yeah, bathroom, get the locker. Run! Oh my God. I remember I missed my brother with trouble now. Bathroom, get the locker. Run! Oh my God. I remember I missed my brother with a slipper and it went through the window. Oh, dude. I freeze beat a slipper.

Yeah, my brother came, I ran and locked myself in the toilet once and he came through the door. Yeah, he would have got a hiding for that though, eh? We both got a hiding for that. Oh, okay, you're right. Because it wouldn't have happened if I hadn't provoked him and then ran.

So we want to know this morning on the back of this mathematical equation of how long it takes to have an argument in the back seat as kids. What were your sibling fights, your big sibling fights? Is there a legendary sibling fight? Yeah, how bad did it get? How bad did it get? How heavy was the hospital bill?

Yeah. Yeah, maybe it kind of stopped the sibling fights for a while. Or maybe it just stopped you ever talking to them ever again. And this is an ongoing physical altercation as teenagers. And that's that. You've never talked to them again. Bonus points is if adults, you keep the fights going. Every Christmas.

Yeah, yeah. 0800 DALS at MSNumber. Give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. How bad were your sibling fight? So a mathematician has worked out a formula. How long it will take you to have a sibling argument in the backseat of a car on a family road trip. It's about 70 minutes.

On average, 70 minutes. You can extend the time with snacks and entertainment, but if there's a sibling, it's going to drop drastically. Yeah, like those families with eight kids, that's 10 minutes per sibling. There'll be a fight before you even get in the car. If you had eight kids, you had the space for it, you should put a projector screen between you, the driver, and the kids,

and then they watch a film. But then I'll have a chunny because I'll be concentrating too much on the screen. Yeah, you wouldn't have had that. We'll put some bags out the back as well. Okay, thanks, Mum. You wouldn'll have a chunny because I'll be concentrating too much on the screen. You wouldn't have been able to. We'll put some bags out the back as well. Thanks mum. You wouldn't have handled that. So we want to know how bad your sibling arguments were. Yeah. I just saw

one that said my brother put an axe through my sister's head. Not through it. Into it. Into it. What? Is she okay? That was all it said. Just crazy. I put jam and tadpoles in my big sister's school blazer

pockets. Oh my God. Jam and tadpoles? Tadpoles. Go to a random word generator. Alright, what am I going to put in my sister's pockets? Tadpoles. Done. Jam. Perfect. She didn't realise until she was at morning assembly.

She cut half of my hair short during the night to get revenge on me. Half of my head that wasn't on the pillow all got really short. I had to get a short boy haircut to balance it out. Those poor tadpoles drowned in jam. My little brother and I are both lawyers. We often get asked to leave the table at family Christmas gatherings. We bickered even as children. We only used our words now, but clenched fists back then for sure.

I love that one's like, I'm going to become a lawyer so I can be a professional arguer. And the other one's like, I'll become a prosecutor just so I can argue with you. Defender. I am worried about it right now. A prosecutor, just so I can argue with you. Defender. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Play ZM. We're talking about siblings' fights and the text just keep rolling in. Oh, wow. And some of them are really weird.

And really, like, my sister and I were fighting while swimming and it got quite physical. Yeah. Fighting in water is never a good idea No I got mad, I pushed her underwater And sat on her head and then peed She's still alive, don't worry And I promise I'm a better person now My brother and I were arguing

On who was going to carve the meat I guess there's an alpha male argument who was going to carve the meat I guess there's an alpha male argument Who's going to be the meat carver, the hunter gatherer Did you ever get to use mum's electric meat knife? Yes How fun were they? They shredded a rice thaw They really did

Why were our parents so against just using a nice sharp knife? I don't know My parents' parents did that thing. Every time they carved, they got out the thing and they sharpened the knife and they'd run it through. But mum and dad were like, no, this is easier. Like a hedge trimmer for meat. It was a hedge trimmer for meat.

Oh, they were fun. Anyway, my brother and I argued over who was going to carve the meat. I stabbed him in the leg with a carving fork. He punched me in the face. I fell into the pantry door and smashed it. We both got a hiding. We can laugh about it now. I'm glad you can laugh about it now.

No one actually bled out on the floor of the kitchen there. When you had two girls, were people like, oh, it's good you've got two girls. You didn't want two boys. I said that. And it's been reiterated every single time I see boys anywhere. But then on that, there are lots of texts coming in from siblings that. But then, and it's been reiterated every single time I see boys anywhere. But then on that,

there are lots of texts coming in from siblings that are just females and it's just as rough. Just as rough. It's pretty rough, but also then we cut each other's hair off at the end,

you know, like that's always sort of the way. Quinnell, how bad did the sibling arguments get? So, my baby sister,

she would have let me, you know, with Sky Forks, she would have let me You know it was Sky Forks She would have let me Have any of her sparklers No Yeah That sucks So when she went to the toilet mate I was like yeah yeah

Alright so you know what I did I lit one of the sparklers And threw it in the toilet While she was in me Did it get her? Yeah And then mum came down And gave us both a hiding Yeah I bet and threw her in the toilet while she was in me. Did it get her? Yeah. And then mum came down and gave us both a hiding.

Yeah, I bet. You know, you burn the house down doing silly things. Yeah. And then everybody suffers. Cool. Now, thanks for your call. Christy, how bad were the sibling arguments? Mine was pretty bad.

Me and my brother were quite young, but we were doing the dishes, and he came out from the lounge, and we got into a bit of an argument about who was doing the dishes. And he tried to put the knife into the sink, and it was a sharp steak knife, and I ended up putting my arm back on top of the knife, and it went into my arm. How bad? How bad was it? Bad enough that I needed to be super glued back together.

Ooh, super glued back together. Super glue. Wow. Did that stop the sibling fights after that? Yeah, we were pretty good after that. Yeah, we nearly murdered your sister, I think. He's kind of pulled back a bit. Amazing. Michaela, thanks for your call. Asked some other text messages in. I broke my sister's hardcover Harry

Potter and the Goblet of Fire book. When she found it, she held the book together and smashed me in the face with it. There's one here that is absolutely crazy. Now, these were very, very old school, so we didn't think they would cause much damage. But when I blew a dart out the blow dart, it got him in the eye and went to the hospital. Imagine blow darting your brother in the eye. Is that two boys? Do you get the feeling that's two boys?

Yeah, 100%. You don't have weapons. You don't have war-mounted weapons when you've got two boys. Tribal weapons? That's insanity. That's insanity. They have, like, feathers on the end of it, you know, like those blow-darts and they're, like, the antique ones.

And then the bow and arrow goes. Mum and dad come home and their kids are just dead on the ground. One from a bow and arrow to the heart. The other one from the poison arrow. Okay. Okay, welcome. Welcome everybody to a bit of Can Guess Your Mum's Name. You had a big weekend at the Wiggles.

Are you sure you're not going to be too tired? I am a little tired. I am a little... Yeah. But it's a different... If I might, for a moment, explain to you psychic energy. Okay. Okay.

If you've got the time. Oh, sure. It's a different sort of energy to physical and emotional energy. Right. If physical energy was sort of red and emotional energy was blue, psychic energy is sort of a green. Oh, is it, man? I would say purple. Okay, right.

Well, no, that would be a mix of the two, wouldn't it? Physical and emotional. Sort of a blending. Right. Is that Eloise? Eloise. That's how I'd say that, no? Eloise joins us. Good morning. What, wouldn't it? Physical and emotional. Sort of a blending. Right. Is that Eloise? Eloise. That's how I'd say her name. Eloise joins us.

Good morning. What did you think it was? Good morning. Eloise. Eloise. Good morning, Eloise. Good morning. She is actually pronounced Eloise.

She is to, Eloise is what male is to email. Right. No. She's an electronic Louise. Right. Eloise. Eloise.

Eloise. Eloise. Eloise. Eloise. Okayise. Eloise. Eloise. Okay, Eloise. Now, Vaughan has five questions to ask you about your mum and then has 15 seconds to try and guess her name. If you can do that, $100 cash is yours. Eloise, what are your mum's siblings' names?

Like, does she have siblings and what are their names? Wendy, Shelley and Mark. Oh, that's so... Okay. That is you're really, you've got you're on the same vein with those names, aren't you? Yeah. Yeah. Shelley,

Mark, Wendy. Now, I just recall now a comment. I can't remember if it was on our podcast family Or it was sent to me on Instagram But someone's saying, Hayley, that when this game is played That you and I Oh, that we need to shut up

That we shouldn't comment How do you feel about that? Because instantly I thought of some names Right, well that's completely up to you I mean Ours aren't psychic abilities Yeah, but ours are just guesses Yeah, it's guesses

But sometimes when you say Again, to put it into colour perspective, sometimes when you say a name, your body radiates the colour. Oh, does it? Yeah, right. It has that sort of light green psychic energy that I'm tapping into. That can lead me in the right direction. Okay. Jill.

So, did Jill spark? Jill, yeah, Jill did spark. Not all. Jill. So did Jill spark? Jill, yeah, Jill did spark. Not all of Jill. Look, I'm happy to sit this one out and just cheerlead for Vaughn's psychic abilities. Yeah. It's not all of Jill, though. It's Jillian. No, that's too much. I'm getting less green there. Jilly.

Jilly is less green than Jill, but Jill's giving me the greens, you know. So it might be a... Talk some absolute crap. It might be a... Talk some absolute crap. It might be a Joan. Oh yeah, okay. Or a Jean. Sharon, put a Sharon down.

Sharon. Yeah. No, because that's not... Sharon and Wendy and Mark. Yeah, Sharon, Wendy and Mark. It's very same... Shelly. Shelly and Sharon, though? The other sister was called Shelly. Oh yeah, they wouldn't do that. No one's going to double Shelly. That'd be too Shelly, wouldn't it? It's very same thing. Shelly and Sharon, though. The other sister was called Shelly. Oh, yeah, they wouldn't do that. No one's going to double Shelly.

That'd be too Shelly, wouldn't it? That's too Shelly. That's a Shelly old Sharon and Shelly. What's next question? I got a little distracted there. I was following my colours. What is your mum's favourite, like, junk food? She's going to have a treat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are good. Okay, I'm on board with that. Yeah, but she said chocolate raisins. Chocolate raisins are yum. And yogurt covered raisins are also yum. No, you know what is real nice? Those past sultana pasties.

Sultana pasties are legit. Yeah, those are good. What were the ones that were like the sultana pasties, except they didn't have the chocolate on it? They'd come in like a sheet, and you'd have to crack them. Full of fruits. Full of fruits? No, those are the little fruity fingers.

Okay, you're getting sign tracked here. Yeah. I feel like Rita's too old, but all of that biscuit chat really took me to Nana. Helen sounds like she'd love a sultana. Helen, and that fits with the others. Barbara? Is that too... No, Barbara's works, but I think she'd be Barbara.

Margaret, too old. She'd be Barbara. No, Margaret's not too old. What about a Christine? You've got a Christine on the list. Okay. I think you're Margaret. Actually, Margaret fits really well with that.

Margaret, Shelley, Mark, Wendy. Denise, Wendy. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Fiona. Oh, Fiona. Nah, nah. I'm off there.

No, that's seasoning. Figuripardum. I've got food on the mind. Just want me to wrap this up. I've got some porridge here that's going cold. It would be so stodgy. It's going to be stodgy porridge. The only time you're worried about a segment length

is when you've got porridge that's going cold. You don't care about anything else. Season what? What mum's name screams summer? Summer. Summer, yeah. That could be a bit too left field for those names. Judy.

We've got a lot of the Js. Yeah, but the Js are Jills. The Js are Jacob. Put that down. Yeah, put a Judy down. Oh, bless you. Bless you. I'm not saying bless you.

What's your, what are your siblings' names? Like, what did mum call her kids? Eloise, obviously. Yeah. Bryce. Bryce? God, you said that and you were so just. You said, yeah, you really, there was not a lot of love there for Bryce.

What did Bryce do? Oh, he's lovely. Oh, jeez. And your mother, whose name is... Don't say it. Jerome. No, it's not Jerome. Jenny.

Oh, Jenny. Yeah, that's a good one. Put down Jenny. That, Jenny. Yeah, that's a good one. Jenny. That's good. Yeah. It's my mum's middle name too. Don't steal our identity. Okay, so Bryce.

And Catherine Fitz with that, doesn't it? Very well. Yeah, yeah, okay. But it doesn't give me the greens. All right, Eloise, Vaudenow has 15 seconds to try and guess your mum's name. If you hear your mum's name, yell out, Stop, that's my mum's name.

So we are looking for a woman who loves yoghurt-covered raisins. Yep. Named her children Eloise and Bryce. Her favorite season is summer, where you'll find her watching Grey's Anatomy. Yes. And occasionally mentioning her siblings Wendy, Shelley, and Mark. All right, your time starts now.

I had every single name I could think of that started with J. Except, what was your mum's that started with J. Except. Jan. What was your mum's name again? Jan. Jan is January. And she loves summer. Yeah.

Well, it looks like somebody's crystals haven't charged. He's sulking now. He's sulking in the corner, Eloise. He's sulking in the corner, Eloise. And do you know who's the most happiest? Is producer Anna. Gets to keep her dollars. She gets to keep her dollars and she loves getting one over on the old smithy.

I'm now on the side of the guy that bought your couch. You bastard. Maybe we'll tell you later what happened with Anna's couch. I think we should talk about Anna's couch next, actually, because this is quite funny. And I'm on his side. Sorry, Eloise. Sorry, Eloise.

Sorry, everybody. I've let you all down today. You have. Massive weekend at producer Anna's house. Bit of a move happening. Yes, yes. We have moved out of our house and are selling lots of things. You were selling so many things.

Getting rid of it all, basically, and you'll start again another day. Yeah, pretty much. And one of the things you sold was your big linen cream couch. Can I just say, who buys a white couch? I'll tell ya, an effing idiot. A complete idiot. How long did it take you to get that dirty? About

two and a half minutes. Those couches are so popular. It's those big heaps of cushions and stuff. Real comfy looking, eh? Yeah. So aesthetic. No one's allowed to sit on it. I once sat on a burger ring on a white couch and it smudged it in. And so what I was like, when the, it was a batch.

And then when the person who I was there with wasn't looking, I flipped the pillow over. You. But somebody had already stained the other side of the white cushion and it was a worse stain. So I was like, ah! Nightmare stuff. You've got to get out your friend.

Your what? Your friend. Your friend. Oh, yeah, right. So, Anna, you sold your couch and I would say I reckon you undercut a little bit. It was cheap for a good big couch like that. Yeah, I tried it at a higher price

and I didn't have any bites. We live, you know, 35 minutes out of the city. So I think a lot of people go- For those listening, that's Whangarei. She lives in Whangarei. Pretty much, yeah. Or is it Kirikiri? Yeah, pretty much.

So a lot of people go, oh, this is cool, whereabouts is it? And I'm like, oh, check the listing. It says, anyway, that's a story for another day, how people don't read listings. Dimensions please it's like just keep scrolling babe there they are um yeah so finally got a bite uh at quite a low price so a thousand dollars I think I initially put it up for like two and a half grand so quite quite a loss there for the old girl wasn't this a free couch in the first place no your, Your Honour, it was secondhand from our family friends.

So I did pay like, I think I paid $1,500. Okay, so $1,500. So you're out of pocket. So you're like taking a loss on this white stained couch. Yeah. Okay. And you did say in the listing, could deal with a bloody wash. Oh, right.

Okay, fair, fair. Yeah. And I told everyone, I was like, I'm moving overseas tomorrow, so everyone has to come and pick it up immediately. I don't want any time wasters. I was like, I'm on a flight to Peru at 12 hours. I'll see you later. Have you told the boss you're leaving for Peru in 12 hours?

I've not. I haven't heard any word of a replacement. Okay. And frankly, I've been swindled. Of course. And this, this is so great. This is so great. This is so great. You popped in before with a link because your couch is back on Marketplace.

For how much? $3,000. $3,000. Not even double. Triple. So how much did your family friends pay for this couch? Seven and a half grand. Whoa!

Yeah. So they did you a deal because they wanted this white stained couch out of their life too. And they're like $1,500 and you're like, great. Yeah. It's a nice couch. But this is only like a week after they picked it up, right? This is 48 hours. Yeah.

Oh, wow. So they bought it knowing that you had totally undercharged. And they were like, I can get more for that. Did you, have they cleaned it though? Have they given it the clean? No, and they've copied my description fully. Yeah. Copy and paste.

Could we give out the link to the couch and everybody listening goes on and says something that they did on that couch? Yeah. So $3,000 is a bit much. I had a chunny down the back of that couch. Yeah, right. $3,000, mate.

I think I wiped $500 value off that couch when my cat did a turd on it. $3,000 I made my daughter on that couch. But the thing is, though, they've done nothing wrong. Like, your boyfriend does this all the time with cars. He'll buy a car when someone wants to get rid of it and flip it and make a couple of grand. Yeah, I know. So it's just a bit of taste of your own medicine here. I know, but my qualm is that there was a lot of cancelled pick-up times,

and this fella is running a business, you know? Yeah. If you're going to run a business, you've got to run a business across the board. You've got to be punctual. You've got to reply to your emails it's always pretty nuts on Facebook marketplace you can click on their

commercial profile and see what else they've got listed yes and some people are just selling like a hundred of something yeah

for cash money right dob them into the IRD and making a tax free income there if you want a really stained couch Facebook marketplace it's not that stained.

Yeah, it looks like someone pooed on it. Honestly, it's so bad. There's $4,500 worth of stains on it, typically. Yeah, there is. They paid $7,500 and it's listed for three. Fact of the Day is next. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Fact of the Day, day, day, day, day

Today's fact of the day is about termites Okay Not the fact of the day about how there's like one massive underground termite colony That's bigger than the UK. Do we have termites in New Zealand? Bingo. Today's fact of the day. You might not notice we have three native termites.

Huh. You know how Australia, if you're building a new house now, like when my brother built his house, he had to do steel framing because you don't do wooden framing because if termites get into it, they'll just be like yum, yum, yum, and you won't see them because they live behind the plasterboard. Is borer termites get into it, they'll just be like, yum, yum, yum, and you won't see them because they live behind the glass of wood. Is Borah termites? Borah's different to termites, right?

Borah eats wood of a house. Yeah, but termites are like little ants. Aren't Borah like a little worm? They turn into a fly. Little fly. Is Borah a termite? They both damage structural timber and wood items, but they are both very different beasts. Bora sure does ruin a lot of things.

Yeah, but also Bora takes ages to do it, right? Yeah, it's like years and years. Yeah, and then you lean against something and you fall through it and you're like, Bora! So there's three species of native termites, but they're not considered to be destructive because they don't form large colonies. So what makes termites imported termites but they're not considered to be destructive because they don't form large colonies. So what makes termites imported termites

of which that's also because I was like I was reading an article about how England is now officially termite free again. Yeah. And it's taken 27 years How do they know? To become termite free. So they're only going on what people have reported but these people

in this bungalow in Devon were like, we've got white ants, but they're weird. They seem to be eating like the wood. Our conservatory's crumbled. And the people were like, okay, that sounds unusual. And they came around, they had a look and they're like, it's termites. So for the last 27 years, the owners of this property

have had to like have an active termite person coming around and checking for termites. And then this is the first time this year that they have said since 1994, the colony is dead. It's all gone. There's no sign of them. Oh, wow. How did they get to that house? Did they bring a wooden spoon home from Indonesia? That's how they get into the country.

That's why we're not allowed to bring back stuff, are we, from overseas? Unless it's heavily treated. You're not allowed to bring back stuff are we from overseas. Unless it's heavily treated. You're not allowed to bring back raw wood products and even the treated stuff they reckon you should give

it the once over it. Yeah because I brought a log back once and they took that off me. Just a log? A whole log yeah. Well I just see firewood it's just good

to bring it home. Bring it home yeah. You don't know when you're going to. For your fireplace. Yeah. That you haven't put in yet but one day

you'll have. But when he's got it in, it'll be good to have it in. Oh, yeah, the wood will be so dry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they can be like, I got this from Indonesia. Yeah. Burns so well, doesn't it, that tropical wood? It's a hard wood.

So they finally eliminated them. And so I was like, do we have termites in New Zealand? I looked it up. I found we've got three native termites. And at the moment, the biosecurity in New Zealand is currently treating a couple of locations in Green Lane, Auckland. Oh, no. Where termites were detected in November 2021. Just burn them all down to the ground.

Can you imagine last year on top of everything? Not now, termites. Your porch starts crumbling and you're like, what the hell? And you call someone out. Yeah. And we were in lockdown

around then as well. Yeah, surely they should just get a flamethrower and burn them all to the ground. Yeah, but they'll also burn your house to the ground. You know, but just make a ring around them

and burn all the houses down. Yeah. Burn it all to the ground. Dig a big hole. Bury it all. Put up some nice townhouses. And then build 58,000 townhouses.

Yes. That's not a bad idea. Guys, we can make some money out of this. What we'll do is we'll take one medium-sized property and we cram as many houses as we can. Genius. Do we build more roads to help people get in and out or increase public transport?

No, you won't need to. Don't be silly. That's not our problem. That's not our fault. It's only adding like 50 minutes. We're leaving this neighbourhood. We're going to take our termites with us and go to the next neighbourhood we want to do this in

and put some termites there too. Swip in, get some property processes. Let's do it. Let's do it. Rich and everybody's living on top of each other and the poo is flowing in the street because we didn't uproot our sewer system. So today's fact of the day is New Zealand has three species, three native species of termite.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. We've been doing all this late night talking. Play ZM's Fletchford and Ailey. Play ZM. Friday Jams Live, a huge line-up with Macklemore, TLC, Craig, David, Akon and more is happening 13th of November. All those details, tickets, and ZM Online. Who are you most looking forward to? TLC for me.

Yeah, because... Because it's so nostalgic. Yeah. And Macklemore. But also... What, what, what, what? That's going to go down well. All right, it's time for the impossible phone-in topic.

A story that we saw in the news. Yeah, I don't know if this is so impossible as it is, like, improbable. Or what did we call it last time? Improbable phone-er. Yeah, the highly unlikely to work phone-er. The super lucky phone-er. But then you can't play the Mission Impossible phone-er. Yeah, exactly.

We're not doing a rebrand. But a very large amount of cash has been found in a hedge on a property north of Wellington. It was $7,020. My. Made up of $150 and 20 notes. In a hedge. In a hedge.

So what, some old mate's on a ladder trimming his hedge? Yeah, trimming the hedge. Oh my God, what's this? It was all wrapped up in these little plastic sort of things and put into a bush. Then this hero who found it handed it in to police. That's where he went wrong. But also this is that crossroads that,

or as always how a movie or a TV show starts out, where someone takes the money. Yes. They shouldn't be involved, but now they're involved. And now they're involved, and their life just ends up in a mess. Well, the reason they maybe shouldn't have told the police... What's this guy doing this for? What are you being all

negative about finding a large amount of money for and always saying it ends up poorly? No, because have you read the story? Do you know who the neighbour was? Or the person that they thought whose cash it was? It's Michael Hanna who was big on meth. Big meth guy.

Huge fan. And he lived next to the house. The proceeds of drugs. You don't get that back after the three months. You don't get it back. No. Son of a gun. You don't get that.

I would have found it on the hedge on the other side. I just wouldn't. But then that's the thing. If you said I didn't find the cash, then there's some people after you. You don't want drug money in your bank. I know because drug dealers famously take it way better when you give their money to the police. Oh, true. Come on, guys.

We take the money and we keep it quiet. But then at least they know the police have got it. They can't be coming, they'd probably come after you anyway. Yeah, you're stuffed. You're stuffed either way. Aren't you? God. You're stuffed, but this way you don't have $7,000 in your bank. We want to see in today's Impossible Phone. You don't put that amount

of cash into the bank, that's just going to spark a red flag with the IRD. We want to ask this morning, with $7,000 being the starting point, have you found... Starting point. Have you found a big amount of money? Yeah, we're not talking,

I found $500. I'm not interested. I mean, if you were like 10 and you found $500, that would be like a bajillion dollars. You would have to be relative to age. But we're talking about like a stash of money. It's the impossible phone, you know. People always, people always.

Oh my God, that's a really funny text. That's a real, that's a real highbrow jokes just come in. Guys, clearly it's a hedge fund. Yeah. How did we not even think of that? That's brilliant. We're not smart. Bravo from you.

We're not smart enough. We're not smart. This person's obviously a genius. That's brilliant. Obviously, it's a hedge fund. So we want to know, now, 0800DARLS.M, the largest amount of money you've found.

Quite often, tourists drop. Like, you always see these stories at a Queenstown. Someone's like, oh, I found $12,000 just lying on a... Because it's all their travel money. Yeah, yeah.

So 0800DARLS.M, can we beat $7,000? And you can call anonymously if you don't want to tell us what you did with it. Oh, absolutely. No judgment here, no judgment here. Yeah, 0800DARLS.M. Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. Well, the impossible finding topic, a man found $7,020 in a hedge. In a literal bush. In a literal hedge fund.

But he doesn't get any of it because it's drug money. Yeah, it was apparently the neighbours who's in prison now. So we want to know, have you found a large amount of money and can we beat $7,000? Some text messages in. My partner was out fishing and he saw something floating. He's like, what's that? Grabbed it. It was

$1,000 in small bills floating in the water. Cool. What, in the middle of the ocean? Yeah. That's why New Zealand money is cool. Because it's plastic and can handle the water. Yeah, yeah. I've got so many questions like, where did that come from? How long does it last? $1,000, like, if you're doing

a drug deal at sea, $1,000 doesn't seem like enough. Nah. Billy Philip, the bloody Yamaha 250 on the Haynes Hunter 17 footer and get out there. Know what I mean? No, I don't know. We line the parking fees

down the bloody boat ramp and the fishing license is out of control. Oh no, oh my God. Someone reset more. You're not getting any change. You're not getting any change from now on.

What needs an update? Hell. Yeah, bloody hell. Got to gap that in there bloody. Oh, you don't even know what you're talking about. You've been fishing like three times in your life.

No, no. Every time I vomited because we always seasick. All right, keep your calls coming in. We'll see if we can beat more than $1,000 at sea. Yeah. All right, ZM. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. So somebody found $7,000 in a hedge.

We want to know what's the most amount of money you've found. We're currently at $1,000. Let's go to Joyce. Joyce, how much cash did you find? Morning. It was actually my nine-year-old found $1,720. As a nine-year-old? That's the nine-year-old's equivalent of winning $8 million power.

Yeah. What did you do with the money? He said, oh, we're rich. No, so we thankfully managed to track down the owner and get the money back to them by utilising our neighbourhood WhatsApp group. They had to go through questions like what was it in and how much was the exact number. Yeah, I was going to say.

Yeah, so it was good that we managed to get it back to them and it was the right for owner. A really good teaching lesson about honesty there. Yeah, it really was. It was a teaching moment. $7,800 helped out, you know. Oh, that would have been so good. I know. That's

posh groceries, you know. Next time you go to the supermarket, you're not like like, skimping. Joyce, thank you. Kate, how can you beat that amount of money? Well, my team found $10,000 in an op shop rolled up in a lady's boot when they were sorting through donations. Oh, my God. Yeah.

If I was in the op shop, I would have just taken the boot, so I would have taken the cash. Oh, my God, I love cowboy God. Yeah. If I was in the op shop, I would have just taken the boots. So I would have taken the cash. Oh, my God, I love cowboy boots. Yeah. Well, that's why we were particularly happy because you don't expect people to do the right thing, even sometimes in charities. But we were really, really proud of that team.

Aw. It's a good teaching lesson. What a great job. So what did they do? Did they get it back to the people who donated it? Or would it have come in anonymously through a clothing bin system? Yeah, always anonymously. And we suspect it might have been a deceased estate.

Totally. Oh, yeah. So Nan dies, but no one knew Nan had tucked away $10,000 because she didn't trust the banks. Yeah, Nan had some nice sexy long boots. Yeah, Nanny. Now I'm seeing how Nan made 10,000 cash Oh I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast
