She's a good rest up.
She's out.
Get on the lemon honeys.
Oh, yeah.
Well, she's got a lemon tree full of lemons.
Yeah.
Because I offered her lemons and she said my tree's full of lemons.
I said, what am I going to do with all these lemons?
So catch my lemonade stand sometime soon.
It'll be real cute.
25 cents.
Will you make a handwritten sign?
Yeah.
Yeah, good stuff.
It'll say 25 cents and then have a cross around it and say $1.25 because of inflation.

that could win you $1,000 today.
The top six on the way.
Apparently, according to The Guardian,
a very reputable brand of journalism,
horses can plan ahead and think strategically.
So today's top six is the top six things your horse has coming up.
Explain why there's always a diary and a calendar in stables.
Yeah, always up on the wall.
Yeah, big planners.
They just can't hold the pen to write their plans in,
but you know they're remembering it
and looking at the dates.
100%.
So yeah, the things that they've been making plans coming up.
Next on the show, an audacious, audacious theft.
Yeah.
Didn't end so audaciously, did it?
No. Although details are a bitiously, did it? No.
Although details are a bit light,
but it does look like
this was stolen, right?
From what I read, yes.
It's something that
would be well down the list of things
I would think,
how am I to steal that?
Yeah, and that's coming from the man that has...
Are we publicly saying you stole a steam...
Was it a steamroller?
No, it was a roller.
We're not publicly...
Roller.
It's just a roller.
It wasn't powered by steam.
A roller.
Borrowed also.
For 100 metres.
Well, not even that.
10 times.
Okay.
10 times.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
A helicopter crashed on the roof of a Queensland hotel.
That helicopter, stolen.
By all accounts, that helicopter was taken on an unauthorised flight,
but unauthorised as in.
So that tells me, unauthorised as in like from everywhere.
Yeah.
And it crashed.
So 2am on Monday, it hit the Cairns Double Tree by Hilton.
The hotel.
What is described as a massive explosion.
I saw some photos.
It was insane.
Yeah.
Yeah, the fire on the roof was wild.
So we don't know any details.
Was this guy a pirate?
Was he drunk?
Well, he could do the takeoff part.
Just not the flying.
It was the landing.
I don't know if he was trying to land on the roof.
It'll be really interesting to get the entire story around why that hotel, why there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because do like small planes that, you know, you see at airfields and helicopters, do they
have like ignition keys?
Like you can lock the doors, right?
Of the plane or the helicopter, but do they have
like a key?
I think I've seen them.
Maybe you have to turn on a key, but I've seen the push button.
Oh, right.
Do-ga-do-ga-do-ga-do-ga.
Do-ga.
Okay.
Cessna ignition.
Or helicopter.
Yeah.
How fascinating.
Yeah, okay.
So I'm seeing Cessna's run on a key.
Okay.
Yep.
Off.
R.
L. Both. Start. Oh, R, L, both.
Oh, so right.
Or maybe you can start motors one at a time there.
Put them on both.
Start them.
Right.
So they have locks on the doors and the ignition.
But what about helicopters?
Okay.
Great question.
Because when you get in the door, if you know how to start it,
then it's yours.
That's pretty wild.
Having been in a helicopter, even like the seasoned pilots,
that first little pull back of the joystick where you get off the ground
and it's like, whoa.
I just, that would be me.
I'd shit myself at that stage.
That's wild.
Too far in it.
Yeah.
I mean, this guy must have had some idea how to fly a helicopter.
Some idea.
Some idea.
And they're saying it's a Brisbane-based helicopter pilot
who died in the, and thankfully the only person that did.
Right, okay.
A couple of old people on the floor underneath
apparently taken in for smoke inhalation.
Right.
Imagine that 2 a.m.
Yeah.
It's a helicopter landing, well, crashing into the roof.
But yeah, there's very light on details.
But it'll be fascinating to know what he was
doing. Yeah.
So if he's a pilot,
so he was a pilot.
Well, yeah. Brisbane based and they're saying
pilot. God, that's okay.
Wild. Flew around for 15 minutes.
A Sydney tourist has said she's
never seen a helicopter travelling so quickly, but it might
have been the fact that it was so close
Right
Yeah
Like flew over her
She said it was terrifying
And the next thing you hear the smoke coming off the top of that
Bold, bold steal
Bold steal
Bold theft
Bold theft
To take it and be sure you know how to take off
But not know how to land
Yeah
Not for me
No
Yeah, no, neither
No, pass.
I'd pass.
Big fat pass on the helicopter stealing.
11 past six.
Next on the show, a cameo maybe in a spot of bother.
You know the website or the app where you can pay celebrities?
Yeah.
To give you a greeting?
Yes.
Maybe in a spot of bother?
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Have you ever paid for a cameo?
No.
Like a celebrity?
No.
Do you know anyone that has?
Um, not off the top of my head.
Probably.
We've talked about it.
We've definitely Googled celebrities.
Yeah, see how much they cost.
How much they cost.
That guy off the Inbetweeners was the first cameo millionaire.
That's right.
Yeah, he made a ton of money.
And all he'd do, he reckons he'd sit down for a couple of hours a day.
Yep.
Yeah.
Churn them out and make so much money.
So apparently once valued at one billion pounds cameo,
so two billion New Zealand dollars,
and had a lot of A-list celebrities,
but apparently now is in somewhat of a decline,
according to The Guardian.
There's a big article that they've written
just saying that a lot of the A-listers have kind of fled.
Right.
And now there's a lot of fringe political figures,
like, you know, your Rudy Giuliani's,
your Nigel Farage's.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Right.
And then a lot of, like, reality barrages. Oh, okay. Yeah. And then a lot of like reality stars.
Yeah.
I think it was massive for the actual A-listers during COVID, right?
Where they were all locked inside their house.
They couldn't do their productions.
They're like, let's make a little bit of side cash.
And I've got this time and keep my name out there.
And now they're actually busy making movies.
Yeah.
And don't have the time.
Yeah.
But apparently recently they,
Cameo was fined by the US government
for breaching celebrity endorsements.
There's some kind of celebrity endorsement act
and they were made,
they were fined 600,000 US dollars
and apparently were,
said that they were struggling to pay that
and then had to have it broken down
and pay smaller amounts in different states.
And so they're just like, interesting.
I want to know what they did.
You're a billion dollar company but you can't afford to pay a
$600,000 fine.
And apparently just a lot of
smaller celebrities
and maybe they're struggling
a little bit. Because they take a 30%
slice.
So if a celebrity is doing a video for $200, and maybe that they're struggling a little bit. Okay. Because they take a 30% slice. Jeez Louise.
So if a celebrity is doing a video for $200.
Yeah.
Aren't there rivals to it now?
Aren't there a couple of other options that you can do?
A sports one. Yes, there's a specific sports one for Australia and New Zealand.
Yeah, I was going to say there's a New Zealand one.
New Zealand, yeah.
It might have been bigger internationally,
but I think it had an Australian and New Zealand branch.
But also apparently the problem is that they're struggling to,
like it's not the kind of thing that you subscribe to,
that you're paying to every month.
No.
You randomly would go and spend.
It's dad's birthday, so you get his favourite celebrity,
his favourite right-wing celebrity to post a video message.
Wouldn't dad love a message from Nigel Farage.
Yeah.
Swish was the sports version.
Right.
Okay.
And you could get them from all sorts of sports people on that.
But yeah, I mean, still some big-ish celebrities on Cameo.
And it's still, you know, they're still churning out the videos.
But yeah, people are just kind of like, well,
maybe it's kind of not as good as it used to be.
Right.
But again, like you said,
celebrities are busy now.
They're busy.
The actual celebrities are busy, yeah.
And I think those politicians
are just using it as another platform
to get their thoughts across, aren't they?
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey.
Blah, blah, blah.
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
This is the top six.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
is a proverb that has been used since the 16th century
to describe the difficulty of getting someone to act
in their own best intentions.
Yeah.
I don't think I've ever broken it down that much by saying it.
No.
I mean, I knew that's what it meant,
but I've never been like,
oh, this is the difficulty of getting someone to act in their own best interests.
So apparently research by horse scientists, they say equine scientists.
I just thought it was horse scientists.
Suggests that the use of this phrase has been inadvertently maligning horses for centuries.
As they have the ability to think and plan ahead and are far more intelligent than scientists previously thought.
Okay.
How did they find this out? to think and plan ahead and are far more intelligent than scientists previously thought. Okay. Like,
how did they find this out?
They analysed the horse responses
to a reward-based game
and the horses
adapted their approach
to the game
to get the most treats
for the least effort.
I can tip of the hat.
I like this a lot.
I can relate to that.
More treats,
less effort.
That's my saying.
That's just my life motto.
Do the Mahi get the treats
is the saying.
I don't like that
because it should be less Mahi, more treats. Yep. More treats for less effort. That's my saying. That's just my life motto. Do the Mahi get the treats? Is the saying. I don't like that because it should be less Mahi, more treats.
Yep.
More treats for your Mahi.
Just a bit of all-around saying, but they say, yeah, the horse is adapted to it.
So the game involved 20 horses who were initially rewarded with a treat
for merely touching a piece of card with their noses.
Then in the second stage, they started switching on a stoplight
and the horses were only given
a snack if they touched the card while the stoplight
was off. Yep. At first
they ignored the light and carried on touching the
card because they wanted their treats. Then in the
third stage they introduced a penalty for touching the
card while the stoplight was on. It was a 10 second time
out during which the horse could not play the game at all
and no treats.
And then the horses were like, okay, so
touch the card only when they're
at the right time to get the treat.
And they could.
So they're saying they learned.
Right, they could work it out.
They had a little bit of cognitive function.
Plan ahead.
Have a schedule, sort of a mini schedule.
So I've got the top six things horses have got coming up.
Because they're planners.
They're busy.
Yeah.
They're planners.
They can work it out now.
Number six on the list of the top six things horses have got in their calendar, a potluck
dinner at their neighbors.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what it's called.
I like that.
Is it all going to be like this?
All going to be like this.
Okay, good.
Number five on the list of the top six things horses have got in their calendar coming up,
they've got to wait because in the coming weeks
there's going to be
a farmer's 40% off
red dot sale.
Yeah.
And of course
they need to buy
some new jockeys
because they're horses.
Yes.
They're planning ahead
for the sale.
Yeah.
Yeah, they've got it
in their calendar.
They get a little
email reminder.
It's like,
jockeys,
40% off.
Yeah.
Number four on the list
of the top six things
horses have coming up in their calendar.
They've set aside an afternoon to organize all of their receipts.
Do you know why?
Why?
Because if they need a claim on a warranty, they'll need a hoof of purchase.
Is it going to be a stretch the more we...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's probably the biggest stretch.
Okay.
Number three on the list.
In their calendar, these horses have got a plan
an international trip on a
plane. Yep. Do you know what the plane's called?
What? Air Horse One.
Which is the actual name of the plane
that transported American
horses to the Olympics. Is it?
Air Horse One. Excellent. Yeah.
Great name for a plane that carries horses predominantly.
Number two on the list of the top six things
horses have got coming up in their calendar.
They do actually this weekend,
they've got a shopping date.
Oh, okay.
Do you know where they're going shopping?
No.
Main Street.
Main Street.
Main Street, good.
Saddle up for number one,
because here it comes.
The top six things horses have got
coming up in their calendar
just to catch up with their friends
and say hey.
They like hey. This is good, hey. They like hey.
This is good from you.
They like hey, that's for sure.
That's today's top six.
Play.
ZM's Fletch Vodaneli.
Play.
ZM.
We've just been alerted to this app.
How do we find out about this?
Someone online.
Perfect in this Cozy Livvy Cry.
Cozy Livvy Cry app.
Grow Save.
G-R-O-S-A-V-E.
Now, it's a New Zealand app
made by someone.
Is it?
It's New Zealand.
It says it on the description
because I thought
it might be
like an overseas app.
I would liken this app
to Gaspi.
Gaspi.
Gaspi.
How do we say that?
Because you're spying
on gas prices. Yeah, Gaspi. Gasp we say that? Because you're spying on gas prices.
Yeah, gas spy.
Gas spy.
Where, you know, it gives you all the service station.
It looks like it says gaspy.
Yeah, it gives you all the service station prices.
Yeah, around you or on the route to somewhere.
But this is for groceries.
So good.
Yeah.
So you go in, you download it,
and then you pick whereabouts you live or whereabouts you work.
If there's more supermarkets around where you're working.
And then it brings up, and then you can search items.
It brings up some stuff.
I don't know why it's, this is my list that says,
sort by relevance, bag of avocados, spring onions, celery, kermit chives.
That's great.
You've got on the way to a great dinner there.
Aren't you? Celery can jump out. We're not interested in celery, but kermit-a, chives. Right. That's great. You've got on the way to a great dinner there. Aren't you?
Celery can jump out.
We're not interested in celery, but kermit-a.
I could chuck some spring onions with some chives
and mix it up with some smashed avocado.
We're on our way to a neat little guacamole type thing.
Eventually, you would just make shopping lists
for all your main items that you want to know are right.
Like, for example, 1kg of cheese.
I've put in 1kg of Edam.
You'd probably be more of a taster. You'd go more tasty. But then what it's done is it's told me every
single block of 1kg cheese in my supermarket radius, like all the supermarkets I would
use around my house and work. Gotcha. And at the moment, give it up for Pam's Eden Cheese 1kg, $10.19.
And in some supermarkets around the city, it's
$14.90.
I'll compare because I'm on my local
supermarkets. And then we can compare
the same supermarkets, different branches.
There's one supermarket that has a block
of Eden 1kg
cheese for $17.39.
So I'm not
going there. What brand is that?
It's a posh brand.
It's a posh brand.
It's a posh brand.
But it's quite cool.
So I'm seeing 500 grams.
It doesn't let you, I don't think,
I'll just try before I say,
I don't think it just lets you go 1kg cheese.
Can you just put in cheese?
Yeah, so it'll bring up all the different cheeses.
But then if you are making...
Cheese and bacon rolls, yum.
If you are making a shopping list to always be checking the 1kg of cheese,
you've got to save different brands that you would buy.
So it's not like it would just in your shopping list...
That could be an update.
That could be an update.
We should give them some customer feedback.
We should just be able to put 1kg of cheese in and it compares it all.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it's pretty, yeah, so I've just searched 1kg of cheese
and it has brought up all the different cheeses.
Milk.
Milk.
Yeah, milk would be a good one.
And do you know what?
All those expensive things like the deodorants, the laundry powders,
all that stuff that you only want to buy on special.
Because otherwise it feels like you're paying way too much for it.
Yeah, and then when you do need it and you've left it to the last minute,
you're like, damn it.
This is, okay, you can go milk and then arrange by lowest price.
Oh, no, it's included milky bars and bounty bars.
Oh, yeah, but you should get some over, get those out of the way.
I don't need that temptation.
Maybe that can be an update.
Hide naughty food from me.
Hide chalkies from me. Hide chalkies from me.
Hide chocolate from Bourne.
My mum, this is a bit beyond her, but would love this sort of thing.
She's not afraid to go to both supermarkets when she goes into Morrisville.
She's just not afraid to.
If she lived in the big smoke, would she go to three different supermarkets?
Probably.
Yeah, wow.
Probably.
She's a coupon chaser.
How much fuel is she wasting?
Well, not much in Morrinsville.
They're not too far apart.
She has to go past one to get to the other
and then back past it to go home.
Right.
It's all relatively close.
And then just buy whatever's on special.
Oh, she buys what's on special.
And she's got this weird psychic ability
to know something's going to be on special again soon.
Oh, no, don't buy that.
It'll be on special in the next couple of weeks.
Every couple of weeks, they roll round.
They roll the specials.
Yeah.
Rotate.
That's why if I'm in the supermarket,
I walk past, like, something that I need,
like deodorant or whatever,
and I see it's on a really good special,
I'll buy a couple.
Oh, I was going to say,
if it wasn't on special, you wouldn't buy it.
You just stink for a couple of weeks
until it comes on special.
Just stink for a couple of weeks.
Somebody just messaged,
just chimed in.
I think they mean just tuned in.
Just tuned in.
What's the app? They could be chiming in. I think they mean just tuned in. Just tuned in. What's the app?
They could be chiming in.
It's called Grow Save.
One word.
G-R-O.
There's no W.
No W.
G-R-O-S-A-V-E.
By the way,
it's short for grocery,
so it wouldn't be G-R-O-W.
It would be G-R-O-C.
Oh, yeah.
Grow Save.
It would be Grow Save.
This is Gatsby all over again.
It is, yeah.
Grow Save.
But honestly,
tip of the hat to whoever made this app because it's genius.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty.
Yeah.
It's a step in the right direction if you want to save some moolah.
Yeah.
Especially if you're surrounded by the three mages.
Oh, yeah.
You could.
But that's something you could be like, where am I going to buy my groceries today?
And then click on it.
Chuck on your list.
Yeah.
Everything on your list and work out which one's going to be cheaper. Love this. Or if you don't mind going to buy my groceries today? And then click on it. Chuck on your list. Yeah. Everything on your list
and work out which one's going to be cheaper.
Love this.
Or if you don't mind going to two,
Christine Smith.
You could go to two and save your money.
This is better.
Someone messaged in saying,
guys, just so you know,
there's an app out for years called Grocer
that does exactly this.
So this is an app that will compare all the supermarkets around you
and all the prices.
So I went and I selected the two Woolworths I live by,
the New World, the Fresh Choice, and the Pack and Save.
And then I searched Edam Cheese,
and it brings them all up right beside each other.
Oh, yeah, that's good.
You'll like this.
That's a direct comparison there.
That's nice.
So for anybody out northwest Auckland,
while Westgate has $14.90 for a KG block of Edam,
pack and save today $9.99.
Oh, look at that.
Yeah.
That's Rolling Meadows.
Good stuff.
It's all from the same cows, isn't it?
Is it?
I don't know how cheese works.
I don't know what cheese is.
But it is delicious and I'll eat it.
I'm a big fan of cheese. I'll eat it. I'm a big fan of
cheese.
I'll eat it.
Huge fan of
cheese.
Well thank you for
the text messages
and all about
saving some money.
What's your deodorant
of choice?
You know I'm a
Nivea.
Producer Jared and
I, are we the same?
The dry, the dry
sport.
Nivea dry sport.
It's a red one.
It's a dry something.
And I tell you what,
we get a lot of
compliments, don't we,
about how we smell.
Okay, that's...
What is the official...
What have you got there?
Jared brings it to work because he's extra smelly.
Yeah, I'm an extra stinky boy.
Nevaeh for men, stress protect, quick dry, 48 hours.
You said Nevaeh.
Nevaeh.
Nevaeh.
Nevaeh and Sloan.
Nevaeh.
It's Nevaeh.
I don't know how to say that or how to say this works.
Stress protect because I have a stressful job.
Oh, you're on a different one now.
Okay, I'm on the red one.
$5.50.
$5.50?
Oh, no, no, wait.
That's the roll-on and I know you're anti.
Oh, no, I don't do roll-on.
You're anti roll-on.
No way.
I alternate between roll-on and spritz now.
No.
Six to your T-shirt.
No thanks.
You can do everything on this one.
So that's another one.
That's just called grosser. Okay. G-R-O-C-E-R. Love this. You can do everything on this one. So that's another one. That's just called Grocer.
G-R-O-C-E-R.
Love this. All about saving some money.
Next on the show, speaking of groceries,
we're going to pit two brands
against each other today.
What is the best chocolate brand?
Cadbury, Whitaker's, or we did
offer you other. Oh, what about, but you
know I love my Linded Balls.
I love my Linded Ball balls. I love my linded balls.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
Which Silly Little Poe Which is the best brand of chocolate?
Was that a silly little poem?
Was it Whittaker's?
Was it Cadbury?
Or was it other?
There's no argument here, is there?
Nope.
88% of people said Whittaker's.
A tip of thine hat.
And it's not even because Cadbury made the block smaller, is it?
It's just because Whittaker's is just nicer.
It's just...
Although, I mean, Cadbury do have some delicious flavours.
Don't get me wrong.
Yeah, what did I say?
I saw someone online put a picture of a new one up this week.
And I was like, oh, that'd be worth a try.
That'd be worth a try.
And I love my caramilk as well.
Yeah.
But yeah, the Whittaker's.
And something about that big block.
Yeah.
It's good stuff.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
There's the peanut slabs.
It's the three-pack of peanut slabs.
It's good stuff.
A little bit of a treat.
So 88% of people said Whittaker's.
10% said Cadbury.
2% said other.
I look forward to hearing what these other brands are.
There's got to be some props for the linge balls.
M said who in their right mind would pick Cadbury over Whittaker's?
Whittaker's are nothing.
Struggling right now, living in London without it.
Surely there's some Kiwi shop that sells blocks for like 20 bucks or something.
Yeah, I was going to say, it's pretty expensive.
Milka says Hicks.
Oh, okay, that is good chocolate.
Milka, and then a great British flag.
I think it's, isn't it European?
It's a Swiss brand of chocolate confectionery,
originally made in Switzerland.
I think you can, I've seen it in stores here,
and I think Judy Free has it here.
Oh, yeah.
That looks all right.
Hazelnuss.
What did you just call me?
Hazelnuss.
That's hazelnut in German, apparently.
I'm just reading the packet here.
Right.
Yeah, they've got delicious.
And I think they do biscuits and all kinds of stuff.
Grace, lindet.
I love what it is, but if I had to choose, I'd say lindet.
Especially lindet balls.
Somehow it's creamier.
It is, it is, yeah.
And thus a little bit superior.
So nice. Lindet. Yeah is, it is, yeah. And thus a little bit superior. So nice.
Linda Dit.
Yeah, the balls.
And the rabbits.
And the reindeers.
And then you don't really see it doing too much else, do you?
My husband works for Cadbury, but I buy Whittaker's weekly.
Am I a bad person?
Jesse.
How did I say?
He works for Cadbury.
I knew someone that worked for Cadbury.
I wonder if she's eating it in Sydney.
No, yeah, I knew someone that worked for Cadbury
and they just had blocks of it in their garage.
I was like, how do you do this job?
Yum.
I don't know why, says Jal,
but Whittaker's just tastes so mid to both me and my partner.
Mid, I'll just explain that as young person chat for average.
Really?
And they're what, they're Cadbury?
She's saying Whittaker's tastes average.
Must have voted Cadbury.
Oh, you know what?
They probably are Australian or something, you know?
And they're used to that weird yuck chocolate that Australians make.
Show that oily, in-your-mouth chocolate.
Mel says, oh, I'm a minority here.
I always choose Cadbury over Whittaker's.
I'll still eat Whittaker's if it's available.
Unlike my weirdo daughter.
Apparently won't touch it.
Oh, okay.
At all. Ben, I voted Whittaker's, but's available. Unlike my weirdo daughter. Apparently won't touch it. Oh, okay. At all.
Ben, I voted Whittaker's, but Cadbury has its place. Cadbury is more
joyful, childish chocolate experience.
Whittaker's is for grown-ups.
It's sexy and smooth.
Okay. Interesting. Artistic
breakdown of why you've chosen one over the other
there, Ben. Let's sell a little
pile.
Now,
we're going to talk memes.
Permission granted.
Somebody has worked out
that in the UK, by 2030,
the national grid, so their power
grid, 6% of it
will be data centres.
So 6% of
total power usage will be
massive industrial warehouses
that need to be cooled and powered because of all the photos
on your phone, on your camera roll,
all the memes that you send me that I watch once
that stay on like chats and chat history,
or I might save to my phone and never-
Or they're stored on a server for like Instagram, for example,
where they were uploaded and power needs to be constantly there to
access it. Yeah. So, I mean, obviously we're trying to fix the climate crisis
and this is a big part and people are starting to look into it. Apparently
one researcher estimates 68% of data used by companies
is never used again.
And that estimate is about the same for personal users as well.
So all the photos you've sent your friends in chat,
and it all needs to be stored on a server.
We think of it in the cloud, big, fluffy, cute clouds, but it's not.
It's in a giant warehouse that's using power and is
wasting our resources.
The internet
conservatively
they think produces
4% of the global carbon dioxide
emissions a year.
Air travel, 3%.
So the internet makes more
carbon dioxide than
all of air travel.
I'm not going to stop sending memes and videos.
That's how we get through our day.
Okay, so if memes and that are massive,
what about other things that use a lot of the internet, like gaming?
Yeah.
So I googled how much carbon dioxide does gaming produce.
Microsoft estimates that the average gamer using a high-performance gaming device
emits 72 kilograms of carbon dioxide a year.
So how many trees?
The United States gamers emit 24 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.
Globally, 3 billion plus people who game are using significantly more.
It's weird you don't think about it.
No, you just think.
But everything that requires power
and air conditioning
to keep cool.
And you probably need
to air condition yourself
in your house
because you're stuck inside
in summer
playing a game
because it's hot.
Crazy.
I never thought about that
from that side of things.
And then there's also
Bitcoin mining as well.
That's massive.
I don't fully understand Bitcoin
but you know,
it needs computers.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
I read a news story the other
day, someone rented out the Airbnb to
someone, like for a few weeks or
a month or so, and they moved in with all their
computer terminals and Bitcoin
mined. Oh, and cost them thousands
of dollars. And cost them thousands of dollars on their power
bill. And so now they
were changing their terms and conditions, like
no parties after 10pm.
No large groups.
No crypto mining.
Yeah.
So maybe just
focus on quality memes.
I'm deleting my work email.
I feel like I want to do my part.
You can no longer contact me on my
work email. Or you could just not send
so many memes. No, I want to send the memes you see.
Right.
So I'm willing to give up because here it says,
a short email via laptop creates 0.3 grams of carbon dioxide.
Okay.
And I get like 10 a day.
Yeah.
So there's 30 grams of carbon dioxide.
Or that's three grams of carbon dioxide I could be taking out.
Lord, you're a hero.
You're a hero.
Absolutely saving the planet.
I am.
Thank you.
How will we contact you
for work things?
Please don't.
Please don't.
Because you're saving the planet.
I'm over here
busy being an environmental warrior.
I don't need you
mucking it up
by producing carbon dioxide
contacting me another way.
It's fair.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Ailey. Play ZM. It's fair.
Should you wash your fruit and vegetables in the dishwasher?
Asks the news.
It's like when they were like,
people are cooking salmon in tinfoil in their dishwasher.
It's like, no, they're not.
No one's doing that.
They're not wasting.
Do you know how much a whole salmon costs?
That's crazy talk.
And I've had enough of the news telling us people are doing a thing when they're not even doing a thing.
Like the Tide Pod thing was the biggest overreaction ever, right?
Because they had stats.
The only people who had been admitted to emergency rooms or hospitals for Tide Pod ingestion
were old people who were confused with dementia or something sad like that.
They got confused about them.
Now, even in America still, Tide Pods are behind locked cabinets.
Yeah.
For no reason, really.
So, I want to know, there's not a single person, you can text 9696 right now, if you have ever washed your fruit and vegetables in a dishwasher.
Why do they tell us these things?
Well, so no one's using one of the tabs, are they?
The dishwashing tabs, because that's like caustic soda.
But then there's going to be bits of that still floating around from the previous wash.
How bloody ridiculous.
People might put their fruit and veg in the sink, right?
I'll give it a rinse.
Give it a rinse.
Give it a rinse under a tap.
What's the short?
I can't make my dishwasher go for a short five-minute spin,
and at which time, run it under a tap, you goof.
Yeah, again.
You silly goofball.
People aren't doing this.
Washing fruits and vegetables helps remove dirt and debris
and reduce potential pathogens,
food safety experts say.
But a dishwasher isn't the best method.
Of course it's not!
You might as well say people are washing their fruit and veg
in their tumble dryer.
In their washing machine. Yeah. And then
because it's wet, they're tumble drying it. It doesn't happen.
You breathe your little apples.
Stop saying things that people
aren't doing.
Someone's messaged in.
Cold water under a tap?
I wouldn't even rinse my fruit and veg in the hot water.
It ruins it.
Sometimes I don't even rinse.
Sometimes I just don't bother.
Give it a bit of this.
I'll give it a bit of a wipe.
Give it a wipe on your grubby ass t-shirt.
See you later, pesticides.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I don't know why the news is saying that.
Right, but you've had enough.
I've had a gutsful.
So from now on, I'll be keeping an eye.
Someone said I wash my fruit and veg, I give it a loving bubble bath.
You're being silly.
People don't do that.
But I like it.
But, you know, that'll be a news story tomorrow.
People are bubble bathing.
Gen Z's bubble bathing bananas.
Yeah.
That's what it'll be.
And one person puts it on TikTok as a joke
and the news is like, I'm worried
about this next generation. They're washing their
bananas in bubble baths.
It's silly
and from now on, I'm at a gutsful. I'm on the lookout.
And you're telling people
things people are doing when people definitely
aren't doing them. When they're not doing them.
That's good that you are in this age
of misinformation. You are like a beacon. I'm putting a stop to it. Yeah. When they're not doing them. That's good that you are in this age of misinformation.
You are like a beacon. I'm putting a stop to it.
Yeah.
Absolutely put my foot down.
And then they go, because the news is like, well, people are washing their fruit and veg in the dishwasher.
We'd better get an expert on.
They talk to, can you imagine me?
Kathy Savoy, professor and health safety expert at a university.
God, I would have hung up.
And you get a call and it's like, hey, we would like a comment on people
washing fruit and veg. And she's
like, well, you can do more
harm than good by washing produce in a
dishwasher. Why would people do that?
People aren't doing that.
And now you've bothered a professor
with your silly nonsense questions.
Grow up and stop it.
We want to talk about now those things. We're going to talk about Shibuzi. Grow up and stop it. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.
We want to talk about now.
We're going to talk about Shibuzi.
I'm heartbroken.
No, I don't want to talk about that.
Shibuzi's apparently hooking up with Emily Ratajkowski.
Shibuzi, my man.
My man, my man.
Fist bump there for Shibuzi.
You do your thing.
My man.
That song, I think it's the fourth week at number one in the US on the charts as well.
Perfect.
News out of Australia yesterday that show sponsor,
Macca's, is bringing a collector's item back.
Now, this is news from Australia.
Somebody's just messaged in saying,
I don't know what you're going to say,
and I've heard whispers
There's whispers
They'll also be joining us here in the land of the long white cloud
So this is happening tomorrow in Australia
Apparently from Wednesday
For a limited time
Customers who purchase any large quarter pounder meal
I don't know if that'll be the same if it comes to New Zealand
Will receive one of the collector's edition glasses
Now this immediately invoked memories of our childhood.
Collector's edition glasses in the 80s, 90s,
and early 2000s, children, ladies and gentlemen,
anybody that was there will remember,
filled the pantry of any sort of middle-class family of New Zealand.
I just had to double- because they've got these,
my parents have got glasses at their house
and I said to mum, I'm sure they're Nutella glasses.
She's like, I don't know.
I'm like, well, you're in the house.
Can you go and check?
So she said, your father's just checked.
It is a Nutella glass.
Moo, hello, I'm the milk, the goodness.
And it's a picture of a cow.
And hello, I'm sugar cane, the energy.
Yeah, and the Nutella was in there
and the thing was on the top.
And the basic lid and you'd pop.
Yes.
So I Googled collectible Nutella glasses,
and apparently Nutella did this all the time in the 90s.
There was Simpsons.
They did a Simpsons range.
Right.
They did a Blinky Bill range.
I even remember, like, back in the day,
mobile did collector's glasses and, like, Coke.
Yeah, if you bought.
Maccas did the Coke glasses as well.
If you bought however many Cokes, you'd get a collector's glasses. And like Coke. Yeah, if you bought... Macca's did the Coke glasses as well. If you bought however many Cokes,
you'd get a collector's glass.
And these Macca's glasses are cool.
Do they look heavy?
Like they look...
I love a heavy glass.
They look a heavy glass
and they've got all the different things kind of...
And would you say it's like embossed?
I don't know how to describe them.
So it's not printed.
I'm not a greasy hair.
I'm not a...
Yeah, I'm not a...
What do you call someone that makes glasses?
A glasser?
It must be a professional.
I tell you what though,
because you know people go crazy for like the toys and collectibles.
People are going to go nuts for these.
Oh yeah.
So you're launching in Australia tomorrow.
Okay, we're just reading a text from the producers.
I thought we were going to have an answer on why you call someone who makes it.
But we want to know this morning.
We want to know.
Oh, someone said there's a huge billboard at Sylvia Park.
Is there?
Saying that the McDonald's glasses are coming.
Yeah!
Tomorrow as well.
That's what they said.
Someone said, I just drove past this billboard and I was very excited.
And now you're talking about it.
Because when you see the photo of them, they're like,
it's the vintage.
They could be from the eighties and nineties.
And very cool.
Yeah.
Very cool.
We want to know outside of the,
the McDonald's glasses.
Do you have like a collectible or something that was free or something that you were just like,
yeah,
whatever.
Not expecting this to last long.
That's still hanging around.
Like the 1990s,
the teleglasses that my dad uses every single day
for his Barocca and pills.
I feel like we had some old kind of jars of something
that are still being used as glasses.
Yeah.
Collectible stuff like Nutella or whatever.
Well, I guess they had to be hearty
to transport the goods in the first place,
which meant they would last a little bit longer.
They weren't cheap.
They weren't cheap glass kind of.
No, no, no.
They weren't fragile.
No.
Speaking to this Nutella glass that would get used every day
and washed a hot wash by hand.
No dishwasher at my parents' house.
Did Marmite or Veggie might do the same thing?
I feel like they did that.
Once you were finished, wash it out,
and it was a collector's glass.
Yeah.
I feel like they did,
but they would never screw on lids.
They were always-
Plastic.
Yeah, popped them on.
With a tin thing on it.
Popped them on.
Okay, so what, anything free that you still use it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Something that costs nothing
that you're like, well, it costs nothing. It's not gonna last.
And here we are 20 years later. People love
a free tote bag.
That's the easiest, that's the best thing that
people will do now. You know what's that posh French
cookery brand, La Creuset?
Yeah. It was a bag at
work, and it was a La Creuset bag.
Oh yeah.
And I was like,
that's a bougie bag.
And someone said,
you can have that if you want.
And I was like,
okay, so it's in my car.
Is it your like supermarket bag?
Yeah, yeah.
I use it for stuff.
I like people who think
I'm doing right, can't I?
Yeah.
Whereas you just got it for free.
But I got it for free from work
and I've never owned that posh cookware.
Okay.
Well, maybe mum and dad
still have those collectible glasses
at home that you
had as a kid or whatever it is.
0800 dials at Amazon number. Give us a call now.
Text through 9696.
What was a free collectible that is
still in use and has outlasted
all expectations?
Well, we've announced
it's news that Australia, in Australia
Maccas are bringing back
collectible glasses.
Now, we have heard there are billboards up,
apparently teasing that this is happening in New Zealand.
Somebody text through,
because we see it in Australia,
you buy whatever it is and then-
Quarter pad a combo.
Yeah, in New Zealand,
apparently this person's saying it'll be a share box.
You buy a share box to get the glasses starting tomorrow.
That makes me feel you won't get one glass though.
Well, you get more. Because it's a share box to get the glasses starting tomorrow. That makes me feel you won't get one glass though. You might get because it's a share box sharing with
people. Again, this is unverified
information. Unverified.
Unverified. Misinformation.
But who knows, but it looks like
yeah, it's happening in New Zealand as well and people
are excited about this. Now, we've had a lot
of messages in and I
anybody on the phone? Oh yes, I will
save mine. I shall
hold my time. There are some classic
collectibles. Monique, good
morning. Good morning.
Good morning. Now you have still
it's still going strong collectibles.
I sure I do.
I have a lot but my most favourite
would be the 90s
Looney Tunes cups that you used
to get with a meal from a takeaway.
Yes, I remember those.
Wait, so when you had the plastic ones, like Tasmanian Devil, Wailakoti, Roadrunner.
I had one of these.
Porky Pig.
Yeah.
I've got like every single one.
But do you still use them like they're in the pantry or the cupboard?
So I've got them like displayed in my kitchen and my kids are always like,
oh mum, should we have our milk in there?
No, no way.
Like they're very...
I can't believe...
Because it was from recollection,
especially on the ones like the Wile E. Coyote
with the long nose,
the end of the nose was soft.
I can see a kid playing with that
and eventually breaking it.
Yeah.
I love that like our parents and our grandparents
would have that Royal Dalton
that you could never touch.
And you've got Looney Tunes cups.
1990s plastic Looney Tunes.
The kids can't touch.
Monique, would you please do me a favour and send us a photo?
I definitely would love to.
I sure will.
Oh, that will be important.
Because I found an ad from the 1990s that's promoting 1994.
So those are 30 years old.
Yeah,
well,
they're collector's editions.
Nicole,
what do you have
collectible wines
that's still going strong?
Well,
I also have the Nutella glasses.
I've got a tall one
that's got Molly,
I'm Molly Milk the Goodness
and the other one
is,
the other ones
are the little Christmasy ones.
And every day
you'll still use those
for drinking and stuff
or are they?
Absolutely.
Yeah, they still get used and they go through? Absolutely. Yeah, why else? They still get used. Still going.
And the pattern's still going. And I've also got,
I don't know if you remember, but in the 90s
BP was giving away
Winnie the Pooh themed plates,
cups, plant
pots. Right, I don't.
But so many people have messaged
in about these, Nicole. Yeah, well
I've still got them and now my grandchildren use them.
Every day.
Could I please have a photo?
I've just cracked them out again.
I'm just going to ask everybody for a photo, because I love the nostalgia.
You love the nostalgia of it all.
And the minute I said I'll be taken back, I'm like, yes, I do remember them.
Thanks, Nicole.
Jo, what do you still have collectors?
Why is it still going strong?
I've got, I think they were some sort of Coke glass.
They're Olympics ones, but they're all tinted different colours.
Yes.
They were the colour of the Olympic rings.
They were Coke ones.
Were they Maccas?
Did those?
Yeah, and they were the different colours of the Olympic rings.
So you collected all five and put them in,
and then from the top it looked like the Olympic rings.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah.
I also got a plate that my son,
my son was born in Australia
and had his fourth birthday at McDonald's
and the birthday kids all got given
like a bread and butter plate size plate.
Yep.
He still has that.
And you still use it like it's just in rotation.
And he's now 27.
Amazing.
Does he pull an A's off?
I'm the McDonald's birthday boy.
I've heard the Shell cards that came in the boxes.
They were about six different cards.
Oh, the cards.
Yeah, I remember those as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Still going.
Joe, thank you.
Some messages in.
Caltex glasses from the 1990s.
They were like a chunky cut crystal.
Not only have they stood the test of time,
I love them so much
they were used at the head table at our wedding.
They were a quality glass.
Can I please have a person who said that?
I will also need a photo of those glasses
because I know the ones you're talking about.
I feel like my parents will still have a couple of those.
Yeah.
Someone said at one stage
you could buy a cup of soup with soup,
oh no, with soup ingredients
and they'd pop them in a soup cup with the ingredients and the recipe on the outside of the with soup. Oh, no, it was soup ingredients, and they popped them in a soup cup with the ingredients
and the recipe on the outside of the soup cup.
Oh, okay.
Lasted forever.
Still got it?
Yeah.
Someone said, we've got some glasses that were free from the 1970s.
They were at the Batch.
Hardiest glasses you'll ever come across.
Someone dropped one recently and it bounced.
Yeah.
Somebody said, collected the New World dinner set when I was 19.
I'm now 40.
Mumble, mumble, mumble.
Three plates, one bowl and a mug.
So it's slowly depleting the numbers,
but it'll be a sad day when you finally break that last plate.
I got free, with a Macca's kids meal,
a little pair of Hamburglar tongs.
Do you remember that? No. I little pair of Hamburglar tongs.
Do you remember that?
No.
I don't remember Hamburglar tongs.
I still use them every day
because they've got a plastic
on the end
to get toast
out of the toaster
when it's stuck in there.
Were they for your nuggies?
Were they to pick up your nuggies?
They must have been
to pick the nuggy
and dip the nuggy
and then eat the nuggy.
Okay.
The hamburger
or to steal other people's nuggies
because he was a Hamburglar.
Maybe.
Someone said I've still got plastic Red Bull cups from Rhythm and Vines in 2005.
That's good stuff.
Would you have ordered a drink and they would have put it in the cup?
Yeah.
Someone was like, that's a hearty cup.
That's a good cup.
I'll take that cup.
A lot of festivals are doing that now.
You pay for the recyclable cup.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Somebody else said, Maccas did
plastic Lego cups with their Happy Meals
10 years ago. I have six kids. They still use
them every single day.
Different colours for different kids. That's cool.
So many people with the
Winnie the Pooh bowls. I'm surprised I don't
remember those at all.
Someone said, my mum still has the full
set of those Looney Tunes character cups
as a very special occasion when you're allowed to use them.
Yes.
You're not allowed to just...
Someone wants to know if shot glasses from the Outback in the early 2000s are considered a collectible.
I mean, that's a collector's item.
They don't have a shot.
I mean, that's how, in my experience of flatting in the 2000s,
that's how every flat has shot glasses.
We're certainly not encouraging that.
Certainly not encouraging it.
They were hearty though.
They were made to bounce.
On a sticky wooden floor.
I mean, I'd say the Coke glasses
are the most prominent techs we're getting.
And you can, a lot of servos still do those.
Have done them over the years and recently.
Johnny who works for Coke said they still deliver them.
They're still like, yeah, really popular.
People still love them.
It's a good glass.
They're a good glass.
You forget that they're
a promo glass.
Yeah.
They're just like,
wide at the top,
curved at the bottom
and sometimes ribbed
on the upper.
Lots of room for ice.
Yeah.
It's a big drink.
Grab the ice.
The ice sits in the top.
It's good stuff.
Perfect.
Play Zed-E.
It's Fletch for the daily.
Play Zed-E. The Olympics are over.
They're done.
And a lot of people are saying a lot, especially from America today,
because I'm guessing they, while most Americans were at work,
the Olympics were on, or they were just distracted by it.
Would that be right?
Yeah.
I'm trying to work out.
It would be.
I'm trying to work out time.
Northern Hemisphere.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's not the Northern Hemisphere.
No, but it's different time. Northern, that. Yeah. No, no. It's not the Northern Hemisphere. No, but it's different time.
Northern, that's seasons.
Seasons are the same.
But a lot of people saying their days at work were distracted by the Olympics.
Yeah, the last part of their day, yeah, they would have got all the morning stuff.
Yeah.
So a lot of people are like having withdrawals.
Or even just from the content on social media.
Yeah, yeah.
The Paris Olympics are apparently, according to TikTok, racked up over 1.3 million posts.
That's just on TikTok.
That's just on TikTok.
And they would only be the ones that use the hashtag Olympics, right?
Or Paris, yeah, Paris 2024 with the hashtag.
All the hashtags combined, yeah,
and that's an increase of nearly 2,000% over Tokyo.
Oh, wow.
So that's just how much TikTok's grown in the last four years.
Tokyo didn't have the live audience
to capture all the weird angles
and behind the scenes stuff.
Well, so when was Tokyo?
It wasn't four years ago.
Yeah, three.
It was supposed to be 2020,
but I don't know
if you can remember this.
What happened?
Pandemic.
Pandemic.
That's crazy to think.
Last time our Olympians
came home,
they all had to isolate
for two weeks afterwards.
Yes, that's right.
They were all in like isolation hotels.
In my queue, yeah.
Scambling around the country when they came back.
I just hate, even when I see like a sign on the footpath with like a distancing or a one metre,
you know, sometimes outside supermarkets they still have the marks.
Yeah.
You're just like, get rid of those.
No, because if they stuck them down, they got too warm in, they can't get them off.
It's like pulling off a sticker that you left on something for too long.
If you don't want to
pull the sticker off
straight away
it's going to get
burnt on there.
And people leave
their signs
like the QR codes
on there.
I still check in
if I ever see a QR code
I always pull out
the phone and check in.
I need the reminder.
The Olympic closing
ceremony though
was pretty impressive
yesterday.
Yeah because they
handed the baton
because people were like
why is Tom Cruise
said to be involved
and it's because
the next one's in Los Angeles
and it's
the star power
and that's kind of
what the end of the ceremony
was the handing over
to Los Angeles
in America
and that's why
there was that American theme
and then after that
it's Brisbane
yes which is what
people are saying
could happen
is there could be
some kind of
hold and burn out
at the end of the LA games
everyone's on the 4X
someone stabs 4X
Cracks the top
And then stabs the bottom
With a knife
Some kangaroos
Shotguns it
And then yeah
And then it's Brisbane
Yeah
I think we're getting
A bit ahead of ourselves
We've got to go through
Los Angeles first
Yeah
But yeah
That's 2028
So that'll be
Okay yeah wow
What do we do with our
What do we do with our
Gold fever now
Surely there'll be a tour
Of gold medals.
The Paralympics, the Paralympics,
that on the 28th,
which I always thought it was just like concurrent.
One ran into the other with a very small gap between,
but that's like two weeks.
Yeah.
Really going to be,
we have to get straight back.
They should get straight into it while we're on the buzz.
Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley.
The lipstick effect,
which you may have heard of because I think we've talked to Brad Olsen about it before. Yeah ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. The lipstick effect, which you may have heard of
because I think we've talked to Brad Olsen about it before.
Yeah, it's definitely a popular term.
Yeah, the lipstick effect defined is when customers still spend money
on small indulgences during recessions, economic downturns
or when they personally have little cash
that they don't have enough to spend on big ticket luxury items.
However, still find cash for purchases of small luxury items
such as premium lipstick.
Or just lipstick.
You've got, because times are tough.
Yeah.
You don't have the money to be spending on expensive stuff.
You just buy a little treaty.
Yeah.
And that's why.
You just have a little treaty.
I saw the News Story out of Australia,
Chemist Warehouse there just having like a boomer,
a boomer of a time.
And they say it's the lipstick effect.
Because of this, yeah, because people go in for a
prescription or not even for a prescription and then just
while they're there just get a little treaty. Get a little treaty.
Treat themselves. Is this true?
Is this true? Yeah, absolutely.
I'm well aware that I do
this all of the time. So much
to the point where I've actually
limited myself to only one lip product
a month.
Have you got a soft ban in place?
Yeah, no, it's a hard
ban. Only one.
What is included in lip products?
Lipstick, lip balm, lip
gloss, everything.
Because the balms,
depending on your chapsness,
it could be chapsness.
That's the problem. I have enough.
I don't need another one.
Right, right, okay.
Just gotta find it.
Is that because you would just constantly
be looking for treaties?
Yeah, because it's easy, right?
Because even though it might cost me
more than just a little bit,
like even if it's like a $40 lipstick,
physically it's small.
So you're like, oh, you leave the mall
or chemist's warehouse, wherever,
being like, oh, I just bought a little thing.
A little treaty. It bought a little thing.
A little treaty.
It's a little treaty.
It didn't cost me that much.
It did.
But, you know.
So Leonard Lauda, the chair of Estee Lauder,
okay, I called him Leonard Lauda,
but now I've read it as Estee Lauder. I'm going to go back to the start of the sentence.
Leonard Lauder, the chair of Estee Lauder,
noted following the terrorist attacks of September 2001
that his company sold more lipstick than usual.
As a result, he theorised that lipstick is a contrary economic indicator.
Right.
So that's where it comes from.
Yeah.
Right.
And so they saw it again in the global financial crisis in 2008, 2009.
Yeah.
The US Bureau of Economic Analysis,
so look at proper,
this isn't just some chap having a guess,
publishes quarterly data revealing
personal consumption expenditures
on personal care products.
As a result, lipstick indicator,
which is drawn from that,
can help the chair of Estee Lauder
know how to plan his budget.
Right.
All off if people are going to be up
in their spend on lipstick.
And when times are tough,
apparently not being able to afford
brand new clothes for every job interview,
you'll splash out on a slightly nicer lipstick.
Yeah.
Because when they're looking at you speak,
they can see the mouth and they're like,
that's a well-presented mouth.
This is a good treat for the girlies,
but what's the guy's lipstick?
What is the guy's lipstick effect?
Is it like a little PlayStation game?
There's no little PlayStation game anymore.
No, there's no like, yeah.
Yesterday, I took a little trip to the dairy and got a $1 lolly bag.
Yeah.
I thought you were going to say like a new vape flavor.
I was like, maybe that could be your...
That could be an equivalent, yeah.
Something from the bakery.
You reckon we just do bakery treaties?
Yeah.
Or like a pie?
Grabbing a pie?
Like a pie, yeah.
Top contender.
But see, that's food though, isn't it?
That's just what you need.
Yeah.
I don't know.
But a pie isn't like essential food.
It's not vegetables.
Haircuts.
Haircuts.
Apparently, this has been theorised,
is the male version of the lipstick effect
going to a barber for a haircut or a beard trim.
Because you would do it yourself or you'd just let it grow long.
It's a little treaty to have somebody else take care of it.
This was only theorised on LinkedIn.
Right.
And now that I'm on LinkedIn,
I'm going to have to tell everybody what I've been up to.
I guess that does make sense too, right?
Because it's about changing your appearance
because you can't afford a whole new outfit,
but you can get a haircut or a lipstick and you feel different.
Yes.
Okay.
Interesting.
Yeah, male grooming.
Although that was one person on LinkedIn.
Yeah.
Is it backing it up with any info?
He's got some chat about that.
Oh, apparently, you know,
the tradition was before going off to like fight,
like in wars or,
and this is from multiple cultures around the world.
You'd get like your beard trimmed or your hair done.
So you look good, make you feel good off the fight.
So if you're dead on the battlefield, you still look great.
You look okay.
Yep.
You look okay.
Yeah.
So a little bit of male grooming could be the male's version of the lipstick effect.
Play ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley.
Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name.
Jane joins us.
Good morning, Jane.
Good morning.
Welcome to I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name.
Vaughan will now ask you five questions about your mum and then try to guess her name.
Jane!
If he can do that in 15
seconds, you win $100 cash.
Jane!
Why are you saying my name like that?
I'm trying to tone in.
It's just how he gets...
Don't question the psychic abilities, Jane.
Can you hum and then I'll hum?
And then we'll hum together harmonised.
Go.
Oh, I'm struggling again.
Felt off.
Felt a little off there.
It did feel off, didn't it?
It did feel off.
That doesn't bode well, Jane.
It doesn't.
I was standing, but now I'm going to sit.
Okay.
It's business time.
First question.
What's mum's age?
Oh, okay.
She is 81.
Oh.
This is good.
By far.
I don't think we've had a mum that's been 81 before.
By far the oldest mum we've had.
Because you're going to have to go older names.
81.
So she's one of 19.
Like she's not going to be a.
42.
42.
She's not going to be a Christine, is she? She's not going to be a Christine, is she?
Jesus.
Not going to be a Christine.
Don't worry, you've got this.
She could be an Agatha.
She could be an Agatha.
Or something.
Or a Beryl.
Yeah.
A Lynette.
A Lynette.
Yeah, right.
A Lynette.
Okay.
A Beryl.
I liked Beryl.
I mean, you're never going to go wrong with your classic Bible names, are you?
Bible. Pamela. Kathy. Kathy. You're never going to go wrong with your classic Bible names, are you?
Kathy.
Now I'm thinking, because that's closer to my nan's age.
Marlene.
Put Marlene down.
I'm going to put Marlene and Rita.
Yep.
Because those are my grandmother's names.
Okay.
What were your grandmothers? Edith.
Edith, yeah.
My papa and Edith.
And what was your other grandmother's name?
Cheryl.
Cheryl.
I've never known that!
His name was Cheryl!
Producers, please, quick check.
Are you serious?
Is your dad's mum's name Cheryl?
Or don't you know your...
Yes, Cheryl.
Look at you, you're really chuffed with that.
It's your grandma.
I don't know why you're laughing so hard.
Are you crying?
Do you miss her?
It's not Cheryl.
I was like, it doesn't feel like an English.
No, it's Muriel.
Muriel.
Yeah.
Okay, Muriel.
All right, yeah.
But you said Cheryl.
All right, Carol.
Because nobody from then was called Cheryl.
That's why I was like, it's quite outlandish.
Yeah.
And okay, next question.
Jesus.
What was mum's favourite Olympics event?
Did she watch the Olympics?
What did she like?
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, yeah.
She loves the Olympics.
Oh, just about anything.
Sprints.
She loves the sprinting, I bet.
Oh.
I mean, you know, the gymnastics, of course.
The swimming, the running.
Oh, anything.
Anything.
She's just a big fan.
Have you got Rosemary?
Did Betty White die?
Yeah.
Betty White died, didn't she?
Yeah, she died at 99, just before she turned 100.
Is that right?
She's dead.
So put Betty down.
And Betty's short for Elizabeth, isn't it?
Yep.
Elizabeth.
Queen Elizabeth, yeah.
That kind of era, isn't it?
Mary, put a Mary down.
Mary, of course.
Queen Mary, there was a Queen Mary.
I might put a Karen, even though it feels a little early for a Karen.
Oh, no, that's too early for a Karen.
You might want to pop that in there.
I had an Auntie Elaine.
Oh, yep.
And my Auntie Pat. Eve. She could be a Elaine. Oh, yep. And my Auntie Eve.
She could be a Patricia.
Patricia, yep.
She could be an Eve.
Could be an Eve.
Could be an Eve.
Okay, next one.
What are mum's siblings' names?
Okay, so eldest.
Okay, Eric.
Eric.
Then Margaret.
Then John.
Then her. Then Paul. Okay. Margaret, then John, then her, then
Paul.
Okay.
See, that's not out there. Those aren't out
their names, are they? No, they're not out their names.
I don't think there's going to be out their names.
I might put a Joyce.
And Fiona. Have you got Fiona?
Do I have a...
It's not going to be Fiona. It's not going to be Fiona. There's no chance. And Fiona, have you got Fiona? Fiona?
There's not going to be Fiona.
There's no chance.
I mean, they had half the Beatles, didn't they?
Really, the John and... They had John and Paul and of course Eric.
So if there was a female in the Beatles,
what would she have been called?
I reckon she would have been called Margaret.
Yeah, John, Paul, Ringo, Margaret.
Wouldn't have been the same, would it?
Penny, Penny Lane.
Penny Lane, yes.
Okay.
What pets does mum have?
None.
No pets.
And I don't mean to be rude.
I don't mean to be rude.
But is she of that age where she's like,
I can't get a dog because what if I die before the dog?
No, she just, no.
She's never had a pet. Like, we have family pets, but since we've all left home. No, she just, no. She's never had a pet.
Like, we have family pets, but since we've all left home.
No, you know, she's such a social butterfly.
That would be a hindrance.
Yeah.
I like this.
What happens to the pet?
No, can't do it.
Okay, wow.
That's so responsible.
That's so responsible.
Marion.
Marion, yeah, good, good.
Do you know, on a side note, and this is, my primary school teacher died.
Oh.
Lynn was her name.
Lynn.
Well, yeah,
Jane raises a good point.
How is this relevant?
Similar age,
and she was very out,
she did the tramps,
she did the hikes.
Oh.
Mrs. Meredith,
she was unstoppable,
and my mum told me she'd pass,
and I was very upset
because it was just last year
she sent me the work I did
when I was a primary school kid
that she'd kept because of its quality.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Look at this.
I'm not like crying or anything.
Yeah.
I'm just an affected member.
Where in New Zealand does mum live?
Auckland.
Carol.
Carol, yeah, that's a good one.
Marion.
Lois.
Lois. Yeah, that's a good one. Marion. Lois. Lois.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Shout out to the family in Alfham.
Auntie Lois.
Have you asked all your questions?
I think I've asked all my questions.
Okay, all right.
Well, now Jane Vaughan 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.
Vaughan, your mum's name. If you hear your mum's name, yell out, stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughan, your time starts
now.
Lynette, Beryl, Pamela, Marlene, Rita,
Edith, Cheryl, Muriel, Carol
and... That's my mum's name. Which one?
Muriel.
That's your mum's name!
I shouldn't have told you!
That's the same name as yours!
How good!
Well done on both.
You got it all.
You got her middle name.
You got her mum's name.
You got it all.
So what was her middle name?
So she's Muriel Joyce and her mum was Edith.
So you just nailed it.
So your great grandmother is one of Fletcher's grandmother's names
and your mother is...
Wow, look at that.
So really, it had nothing to do with Vaughan's psychic connection.
It was my psychic connection.
Maybe we're related.
I don't know if that's how it works.
His are both past.
Oh, right.
Well, Jane, you've kicked off the bonus round.
Yeah, that's right.
I forgot about that.
Bonus round!
While you're on the phone, I'll have a go
at guessing your dad's name.
Hmm. Okay.
Who did Muriel
marry in Muriel's wedding?
Can you just
Google that for me?
Who did Muriel
marry? Oh, you're terrible,
Muriel. We used to say that to her all the time.
She hates it.
I bet.
What?
You don't say it to her anymore.
David.
David.
At a full-blown church ceremony.
Nah, it's not David.
Inevitably, the marriage is a disaster,
and Muriel is left as miserable as she was.
Oh, that was why there was a Muriel's wedding, too.
But it is going to be a name like John or David.
You know, it's going to be a real...
Yeah.
What were your granddads?
You know, like...
I had an Alan and a Hilton for my granddads.
Who started the hotels?
Are you asking me what my granddad's name was?
No, no, no.
You shush, Jane.
You shush.
No.
Jane, you also sound way too young to have an 81-year-old mother.
What a youthful sounding voice.
She was a little bit older.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
You know, she's actually, I'll tell you,
she looks like she's 10, 15 years younger than her age.
Does she?
Wow.
Just, you know, in case you're listening, Mum, I've got your back.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
81-year-olds love listening to ZM.
They certainly do.
It's our target market, isn't it't it Vaughan we need one name
Muriel and
Ian
no I think that's too young
Ian's have been around for a while
but there was a gasp there from Jane
yeah there was a gasp
did that give it away
no I'll just go with Ian.
Sorry, I just choked on my coffee.
Sorry, I'm drinking coffee.
Okay, Bourne,
what name are you going for?
Ian, I'm going to go with Ian.
I'm locking Ian.
What is your dad's name, Jane?
It's Ben.
Ben.
Ben.
Oh, Ben.
Ben.
Ben, like Benjamin.
Benjamin.
I thought you were saying Ben,
like Ian with a B on the front. Ben. Ben. Ben. 80-. Benjamin. I thought you were saying Ben, like Ian with a B on the front.
Ian.
Ben.
Ben.
80-year-old's aunt called Ben?
Is your dad younger than your mum?
No, no.
But, like, every firstborn male in their family for centuries has been Benjamin.
Oh, I like Benjamin Button.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Or any Ben.
Or any Benjamin Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin. There we go. Or Uncle Ben's Rice. Uncle, yeah. Or any Ben. Or any Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin.
There we go.
Or Uncle Ben's Rice.
Uncle, yes.
Jane, you've still won $100.
Congratulations.
Vaughan did guess your mum's name.
Well done.
Nice.
Thank you so much.
And that's how you hold the title for the oldest mum to ever play.
Bet I can guess your mum's name.
I knew you could do it, though.
I knew you could do it.
Our love to Muriel and Ben.
Thank you.
Our guest has been delayed.
Our guest, we're not allowed to touch.
Cannot speak.
Cannot speak.
Doesn't speak.
Has a security guard with it at all times.
Yeah.
Has been delayed, but we will have our guest in studio soon.
We are giving you the chance in the next 10 minutes as well
to go in the draw to see Sabrina Carpenter live in New York.
Listen out for the activator.
But right now, time for...
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Yeah. I do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Is that how you encourage your friend? To get better? Yeah. No, it's not really.
This week's theme.
It's not the COVID.
She's just said it's not COVID.
It's not COVID.
Amazing.
It's just another one of these serious sicknesses.
It does seem like everyone's sick at the moment.
Not me.
Touch.
Touch.
Give it time.
Touch.
Micro.
What is this?
MDF stuff?
I don't know.
It's under the desk.
Yeah.
Microdent.
Mule it up.
Highly compressed wood.
Yeah, that's it.
Touch.
Touch.
Highly compressed wood.
This week's theme on Fact of the Day is what people,
some people won't experience.
Yesterday was headaches.
5% of the population will never experience a headache,
which is wild to me.
I had a headache yesterday.
I did not like it.
Yeah, horrible.
Today, nosebleeds.
40% of people will never have a nosebleed.
I don't get blood noses.
Neither.
No.
I've had one blood nose in my life,
and I've had two, both from being hit.
And the first one I ever had was someone was talking about blood noses,
and I said, I've never had a blood nose,
and my brother elbowed me in the face.
On purpose?
Yeah. For life. Because he got blood noses, and I said, I've never had a blood nose, and my brother elbowed me in the face. On purpose? Yeah.
For love.
Because he got blood noses.
Oh, right.
Not, like, chronically.
Like, did you press charges?
I did, yes, yes.
I did.
Press charges, yeah.
He's not allowed anywhere near me.
That's why he lives in Australia.
But everybody's got a friend that, at the slightest inconvenience,
their nose will be like, oh, I can't handle this.
Producer Jared, you used to get them every day.
Yeah, I used to be a daily bleeder.
If I...
A daily bleeder.
Daily bleeder.
Daily bleeder.
If I blew my nose,
if I had a too hot shower,
it would just...
Were you a big,
were you a chronic nose picker as a child?
Nah, I used to get real bad hay fever
and just sniffly over any kind of irritant.
So I think that kind of did something.
That's why you had to move away from the plains of Africa.
The pollen chart was off the chart.
Yeah, and you chose to move to Auckland.
Pollen central.
Everybody else around Auckland had a thick layering
of pine pollen over their cars and stuff lately.
You know that yellow dust?
Excuse the inner city dweller who has no idea what I'm talking about.
It's been a long time since we embraced nature.
I just have a black kind of dusty tar over my whole lung and life.
The filters are my thing.
They've got this black thick pollutant stuff.
Whatever comes out of buses, I don't know.
Oh, because I was a chronic nose picker.
Still enjoy a good nose pick. Yeah, love a
dig around. I never dug around so hard to make it bleed
and I figured maybe as a child I'd toughen the
interior of my nose with my fingers.
But is that not what caused... Some of the most common
causes include trauma from nose
picking, blunt trauma such as like
a boof or the insertion of a
foreign object, most likely in children.
Low relative humidity such as like a boof, or the insertion of a foreign object, most likely in children. Low relative humidity, such as central heated buildings,
can lead to some people having nosebleeds.
Respiratory tract infections.
Chronic sinitis, which I've always got the bad sinuses.
Yeah, because you overuse the nasal sprays.
Well, there was that one year I used it every single day
because I didn't read the thing that said three days maximum
and then you've got to stop.
Yes.
Environmental irritants such as inflammation,
thinning of the tissue in the nose,
and some people get it at altitude.
Oh, okay.
When it gets to the altitude, their nose just starts bleeding.
But 40%, which is quite a high number of people,
will never experience a nosebleed
unless their brother punches them in the face
because they said that they'd never had a nosebleed
through traditional measures.
So today's fact of the day, and some people don't get them.
That's what I'm going to call this week's fact.
Some people don't get them.
Some people don't get them.
Nosebleeds.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's time now for the impossible phone-in topic
And we spoke yesterday when Hayley was here
about the rise of people that were reversing boob jobs.
Getting the implants removed.
The lift and stuff, fine, tickety-boo, done.
But you can get the implants taken out.
Because apparently as you age, there is upkeep,
which I thought one and done. I just thought won and done, but
no, I guess your ageing body is like, hey, these are sagging.
Ten years, you need to get the silicon or whatever's in there changed out.
Which is wild! But it got us to thinking a great impossible
phono would be, do you regret a cosmetic
alteration of oneself?
We thought, because not everybody's had them done, that automatically makes it a little
bit harder.
And then to admit, yes, I spent $10,000 getting it done, but I do regret it.
But did you, but then that's the thing, and you see, especially celebrities that, I don't
think they would ever admit to regretting having all this work done.
Or admitting to having it done in the first place.
But yeah, I mean, some of them must.
Like, you look at them and you're just like,
what have you done?
You've gone too far.
But has anybody listening for the Impossible Findin' topic
had plastic surgery and you regret it?
Had a lift or a tuck and you regret it?
What about like the eyebrow tattoos?
Because eyebrows changes the fashion.
The fashion of eyebrows changes.
If you got those ones real thin, they're gone.
They're probably due back any minute now.
If you had those ones, you know those ones that are brushed up
to make them look extraordinarily thick?
That's not going to be around forever.
You shouldn't have got that tattooed.
Yeah.
But maybe you just got standard brows.
But then also, like, do you regret lasering?
Because a lot of people will laser everything off and then...
And then pubes are back in fashion.
And then pubes are back in fashion.
The 70s are back.
The bush is back, baby!
The bush is back and you've got nothing.
Well, this is the question today for the Impossible Finding topic.
Great for merkin business.
Great for the pubic wigs.
Great for the merkin, yep.
0800-DARLS-IT-M.
You can text as well anonymously, 9696.
Do you regret getting a cosmetic alteration,
whether it was plastic surgery, a cosmetic tattoo, a nip tuck?
Yeah.
Or laser?
A pull back, a slight change, an ear tuck in.
Whatever it is.
There's an endless list.
The impossible phone-in topic today.
Do you regret a cosmetic alteration of oneself?
Whether it was plastic surgery, like a nose job.
Implants.
Yep, because a lot of people now regretting getting breast implants because of the upkeep as you get older.
Well, someone messaged in saying exactly that.
I regret my boob job.
That's just too big now.
All the bras are so expensive, and I can only buy them online.
Usually they're just boring grandma bras with no push-up.
Unless they're very, very expensive.
Go back a couple of sizes?
Go back?
Right.
For sure.
I got breast reduction, a breast reduction surgery, which I didn't regret, but they ended up growing back.
So now I still have the big boobs, but they've got scars all over them.
Can you get your money back for that?
Is there a money back guarantee?
I don't know.
I remember at school a girl wanted a breast reduction, and the doctors told her it wasn't any point yet.
They said wait until you're like 20.
Grow and stuff.
It's like when you want to get laser eye surgery,
if they've not finished deteriorating,
you'll just be back in there.
Yeah.
Weird to connect boobs to eyes,
but that's how you see them though, isn't it?
That's how you see boobs.
With your eyes.
Are you ready to tell somebody off?
Yep.
I haven't had the work done yet
But it's around $20,000 for a boob job in New Zealand now
So I'm heading to Turkey for a mummy makeover
This is why I said to Hayley
They'll steal your liver
No, your kidney
They'll steal one of your kidneys
Boob lift, implant, 360 lipo
I don't know what that means
All around, does that mean 360 degrees lipo?
And a tummy tuck
It's going to cost roughly $15,000
and that's including 12
nights accommodation. And
they'll remove a kidney for you for nothing.
Just check you've got your kidneys before
you leave Turkey. Yeah. Check you've got
both of them. I don't know how to tell. Where are the kidneys?
Lower back? You're pretty
feel for scars back there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Not so much cosmetic,
but kinda.
I got foot surgery
so I could run further
and stay trim.
Nine years
and plus 30 kgs later,
it did not work.
What do you mean foot surgery?
So you can run further?
I don't know
if they had some sort of foot
changing,
maybe slightly clumped.
Maybe flat.
Maybe they got Heelys.
Maybe they got Heelys.
Heelys surgically implanted.
But that's another thing.
You've got to keep those CRC'd.
You've got to keep
the Healy's
grossed.
Yeah, yeah.
Once they're in
there.
But nine years
and 30 kgs later,
I don't think
they worked.
No.
My eyebrows
look great.
I should have
removed more
moles earlier
in my life
and I wish
I'd taken
more off my
nose.
But I'd never
do rhinoplasty
again.
It hurt.
It hurt so badly.
Oh, right.
So they got a nose job.
It's not going
enough on the nose job. Right. But apparently it hurt. It hurt so badly. Oh, right. So they got a nose job. That's somebody who regrets not going enough on the nose job.
Right.
But apparently it hurts.
I regret the eyeliner tattoo.
So that's not eyebrow, that's the eyeliner.
Oh, yeah, because that's not.
Do they only last like 10 years or are they permanent?
I got it done before cosmetic tattooing was a thing.
So I was a standard tattooist using a tattoo gun.
And you couldn't laser that?
She said she was very skilled
in it, but when I look, they're uneven
and it bugs me. So they've
got tattooed eyeliner
and that's the thing, you'd notice it. And then
you'd never not notice it. 100%. Yeah.
So there's a few people there that have had
cosmetic surgeries that they regret.
So not impossible.
It's the America's Cup.
And David Blakey also joined.
You speak America's Cup and you can speak on behalf of the America's Cup,
which I believe is about to embark on a tour around New Zealand.
It is.
So we're going to take the America's Cup on tour.
So with the help of our friends from Toyota New Zealand,
we're going to visit 40 locations around the country
from Kedikere in the north to Invercargill in the south,
taking the America's Cup on tour
to sailing clubs, schools, and Toyota stores.
It is quite the sight to behold.
I didn't think I'd be impressed by it.
Me too.
I was like, I've seen it on TV.
It's not going to be.
And then it's in here and it's got,
and I thought, it looks a bit taller.
And that's because when they run out of room for engraving, not only the winner of the races, all races in the final of the America's got, and I thought, it looks a bit taller. And that's because when they run out of room for engraving,
not only the winner of the races,
all races in the final of the America's Cup,
but also the details of the race, like how far it was,
how much they won by in minutes and seconds,
they add another layer.
That's correct.
Wow.
It is a spectacular looking trophy.
It is.
So it's the oldest sporting trophy in the world.
That's correct.
So that bit down to the base is from when?
18?
1851.
Wow.
That's insane.
They started adding more.
Isn't that older than New Zealand?
No, just.
Just.
Just.
Just older than New Zealand.
No, just younger.
Just younger.
Just younger.
Depending on where you put that establishment date.
That's amazing.
Wow.
So it's made of sterling silver.
That's correct.
How much does it weigh?
It weighs 17 kilograms.
How much is it worth like money-wise?
It's irreplaceable.
Irreplaceable.
But if we were to put it on Trade Me,
like how much roughly do you reckon?
We're going to take it to a scrap metal dealer for sterling silver.
Well, what we know from history is that some of the world's wealthiest
and most influential people have spent hundreds of millions of dollars
trying to win it.
And in most cases, they were unsuccessful.
Wow.
Yeah.
So we're very lucky to have it.
Yeah.
So when is the next America's Cup?
It's in Barcelona?
Barcelona. The America's Cup defence It's in Barcelona? Barcelona.
The America's Cup defence itself is in the month of October.
The regatta is about to kick off at the end of August.
Wow.
October this year?
Yes.
That's rolled around so quick.
Yes, that's right.
That's why we're taking it on tour.
It's an opportunity to visit those clubs around the country
where the sailors first started to learn their trade.
But it's also an opportunity for the community, our people,
to sign messages of support.
We're taking a sale. People can sign the sale.
We'll deliver that to Team New Zealand.
But also, just as you guys have had,
just experience and see firsthand
what a spectacular trophy it is.
It's pretty impressive.
Very detailed. And so will people be able to get a photo
with it? Absolutely. But you're not allowed to touch
it, eh? Because when it's handled, it's with the gloves.
You've got to have special gloves.
I just learned there's a special cleaner.
A special cleaner?
Someone cleans it.
A special jeweler cleans it.
Wow.
It's impressive.
It is impressive.
It's very impressive.
So how, which part of the cup has on there
where New Zealand did not do well?
Oh, that one where we were up like eight mil?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm guessing it's going to be the longest one
because it had to be the most races
in America's Cup history, right?
That one where we were up eight.
We don't talk about that one.
I know we don't talk about it.
I just don't want it facing me.
I don't want the bad karma of that side of the car.
Is it hollow?
Can it still be,
is it still tradition to drink out of it?
It is still a tradition to drink out of it,
but there is a pin holding it together.
So there's a rod that goes from the top of, but there is a pin holding it together.
So there's a rod that goes from the top of the cup down to hold all the pieces together.
Right.
Because it is such a big trophy.
Yeah.
17 kilograms of earth.
It is so, I'll sign to behold.
Well, your chance to see it
because it's touring around the country now,
kicking off on the 2nd of September.
That's right.
And all the details are on the website,
kiwicup.co.nz.
Easy.
Thanks for coming in.
My pleasure.
We must get a photo now
with the cup.
Like pretend that we've won.
We're going to look real scruffy
next to this hundreds of videos.
Yeah.
If you like today's podcast,
tell your friends
you could send them the link.
And if you don't have any friends,
just pretend you did.
Yeah, great.
And rate and review.
And maybe get out there and try to make some friends.
