The ZM Podcast Network. The Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley Big Pod. Great things are brewing at McCafe. The perfect start to every day. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. We're down a Hayley today. Now, look, I don't want to start any rumours, but she was in...

Carderton. Carderton over the weekend. She spent some time in the Warrarapa. And somebody won $30 million there. And I'm just saying, we haven't heard from her. She's not returning our calls. We may never see her again.

Oh well. That's life isn't it? She did say last week she'd give us a million if she won. She did. She did say that. She said multiple times

ever since it was at about 15 million I think she said. Because she kept asking us if we won we'd give her a million. Yeah. And we all shook on it. Yeah.

We have heard from Hayley. She hasn't won the lotto. That's what she said. She'll be here tomorrow. Again, that's what she said. That's what she said. We'll see. We'll see about this.

Oh, we'll see. Coming up on the show, the top six. Yeah, the top six recipes for Meghan Markle's new cooking show. Meghan Markle's new cooking show. Meghan Markle's doing a cooking show. Now, why? Dunno. Is it because they did that deal with Netflix to do X amount of shows and then they couldn't come up with anything?

Yeah. And did they propose a few and they all got, like, poo-pooed in the pilot stage or in the creation of show stage? Don't you need to be a chef or some kind of whiz? Well, Selena Gomez did that cooking thing in lockdown. Let's never forget Paris Hilton's show

in lockdown. Her cooking show. Oh yeah, she did it too. She did it too. Now, if anybody needs a Netflix show, it's Paris Hilton doing a cooking show.

She's got a baby. She's got things to do. Too busy now. Yeah, too busy with the baby for cooking. Top six on the way. Next on the show, though, a controversial idea is being put forth

in the New South of Wales. Play. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Hayley. In Australia, there's a parliamentary inquiry into vaping regulation and if it can be banned, like flat out banned. Right. And what's going on with this whole situation.

And one doctor has come out. He's the founding chairman of the Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association. Right. What a mouthful. Does it not have an acronym? A-T-H-R-A. Yes. At-er-a.

At-er-a. Not catchy. He's saying the horse is already bolted Young people are addicted to vaping And if they ban vaping They're most likely to go back to cigarettes So he said there needs to be Vaping areas In schools

As they slowly reduce The amount of nicotine in vapes To wean the addicted teens off the nicotine before banning vaping itself. Didn't you say some, were there vapes at your kids' school? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some kids were vaping? There was a vape and a vape fell out of somebody's bag.

It was like on the floor by the... It's wild knowing that they're all like young kids. Like 10 or something. They've still got like the cubbies where you put your bag in and someone put their bag in and a vape fell out. It's pretty wild. It's just like a school and you imagine a vape on the ground. Would it have been a parent's vape?

Or like they were actually using it? Well, don't know. But there has been stories. Oh, yeah. So where would that be? Next to the playground. Well, I don't know. That's what he said.

And it needs to be, obviously there's a whole lot to it, but to just ban it outright, he said you risk children going back to smoking cigarettes. Yeah, but they're so expensive. They're not going to be able to afford them. Wasn't this the plan all along? Make cigarettes so expensive and hard to get. Yeah, and then put them on the vapes.

And then ban vapes. Slowly start watering down the vapes and wean everybody off the vapes. Right. Is that the idea? That's what he's saying. Yeah, so one of the ideas is regulated vaping areas at schools. Well, we've got one here just outside for Jared, don't we? This is your little regulated vape area right outside this door, the emergency exit.

Yeah, sneak out. You pop out, have a little puff. Yep, and then duck back in and no one's the wisest. There's an alley by work and everyone smokes and vapes and then I saw a sign the other day that's like no smoking and vaping. Yeah, I don't like going down there because it's kind of like a wind tunnel and then you just get in a hot box with everyone else's vape juices. Yeah, because it's a real mix of flavours

mixing your cherry with your apple yeah it's the flavour match doesn't mesh it's not a good thing no you are a vape sommelier

so yeah I kinda like swill it around in my mouth yeah hints of strawberry

strawberry yeah but then yeah going in that when everyone's vaping they're different things like getting a handful of Skittles and putting them

in your mouth like you can't taste one particular thing. It's just a lot of sweet. Do you remember at airports, the, like, smokers' booths? No, you still see them in some places overseas, yeah. With the yellow roofs? Yeah. Yuck.

Yuck. Like a little conference room for smoking. Yeah. Wild. There's a new thing. It looks kind of like a highlighter. And it's, so, vapes are to get off cigarettes. This new thing is to get off vapes,

and it's basically an empty plastic shell with a little wad of menthol foofies. Foofies? Foofies, like smelly essence. I don't think you should be doing foofies. No one should be breathing in other people's foofies. God, now the kids are going to be doing foofies. Oh, my God.

How are we going to get the kids off foofies? We've got them off cigarettes onto vapes onto foofies. Those little vape, you know, the Vicks things that you shove up your nose and you breathe. It's essentially one of those. Oh, those burn. And it's to get rid of the action of putting something in your mouth. Yeah, right. And then once you're-

A lot of people find that smoothing, right? The first e-cigarettes were, they were shaped like a cigarette. And you put them in your mouth and when you breathe, then it went red on the end. And they said, this along with having something in your hand and putting it in your mouth and the little red thing, it'll trigger all the things that are enough for humans to be like, I'm getting 90% of what I got from a smoke. So there's no nicotine in that?

None. Just foofies. It's just foofies to get people off holding it up. I'm worried we don't, foofies haven't been around long enough. We don't know the long-term effect of foofies. But how do we get people off the foofies when they're addicted to that? They don't need But then how... Fuffies haven't been around long enough. We don't know the long-term effect of Fuffies. But how do we get people off the Fuffies when they're addicted to that? They don't need to be off the Fuffies.

They don't need to be off the Fuffies. We just give them highlighters. Yeah, those metal eclipse mince tins. Yeah. You can just see people walk around sniffing those. Get the end out of those. God, people have always got to have something in their mouth, Got to have something, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Do they? Huh? Huh? Huh? What a bit of Fuffie. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Spotify apparently working on tools to mash together, slow down and speed up songs.

So much like people do on TikTok. Yeah, I hate that. But you- The double speeds. What, when you hear one of your favourite songs and it's like super fast? Yeah, they double it. And people were even releasing official double speed versions of their songs.

Well, producer Shannon at the social media desk, this is your forte, your job. I did just Google this. Don't say that when someone says this is your forte. I just Googled it. We know the doctor's Googling what our symptoms are, but it's not nice to hear them say, oh yeah, I'm just going to Google that.

Yeah, because can you see your doctor's computer screen? Yes. I can. I can see it in the reflection in the window behind the doctor once. Oh, right, okay. Because sometimes when you can't see their screen, you're like, are they Googling this?

But sometimes they're just in that program with lots of boxes and they're filling out all the things in all the boxes. Yeah, they do that. They love doing that. Don't you know? Yeah. I forgot doing that. Yeah. I forgot what I was saying.

Talking about TikTok. There's been a bit of carbon monoxide in the studio this morning. No, but I can tell you why people use sped up sounds on TikTok, if you would like. But have you Googled this or do you know? I was half there and I've confirmed it. Okay. So basically, if you're verified on TikTok,

there's only about 500,000 songs you can use. I know that sounds like a lot, but when trends happen, you want to be able to jump on them real quick as a creator. And a lot of these trending sounds aren't in this verified library that people could use. So to get around this, influencers will just speed up new songs. Which is why

you hear so many songs speed up. And that's why there's that whole Universal Music, Taylor Swift thing. Well, Taylor's back. This is big news. As of yesterday. She's back on TikTok. Yes. Her songs are. What did she get? I'm unsure exactly the settlement. A bit of money.

A bit of money. But I know it's exciting because her new album comes out this week. I was very worried. There you go money. A bit of money. But no, it's exciting because their new album comes out this week and I was very worried. There you go. That's why. Yeah. Because that's the other thing

Spotify have said that they're working on these tools where you're about to mash up songs but the artists will get the royalties. Whereas I don't think on TikTok they are if it's sped up. No, they don't. It gets around the algorithms

of being blocked. And because when you post a new video, so like when we put something up as Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley, we now own that sound. And if someone uses it, they can use our sound, but it's called like Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley. Right. Do we get money?

Are we getting any money for it? Well, we're not verified. How much? Well, let's get verified. Let's see how much money. Well, no, we don't want to be verified because then we wouldn't be able to use all these songs. Oh, yeah.

But what if someone pretends to be us? Oh, I mean, they could give it a crack. AI, maybe. Maybe I'd be out of a job, though, so don't give it a crack. It sounds like we could be getting some lunch money. That's true. We could all be going to a boozy lunch on Friday with the money we make from sounds.

Ooh, now you're talking. Work could probably want that, though, wouldn't they? They would want that money. And tell actual property and all that stuff. We don't tell them they don't know about that. Yeah, but they won't know because you will put in your bank account. Yeah. And get all the royalties into your account.

Thank you. I don't know if we can trust you though. I wouldn't. Because you do pre-spend your rent money. Yes, yeah, I'm good at that. I love to spend everyone's money before they know it. Not doing anything. Again, these are things you don't say out loud.

You don't say, I don't know. I've had to Google it and I am absolutely untrustworthy with any form of financial currency. 17 past six. Next on the show. We all know it's a bad idea to go shopping while you're hungry.

How much of a bad idea is it? Financially, I've got the... Oh, the actual number. That worked it out. God, how much is a block idea is it? Financially, I've got the... Oh, the actual number. They've worked it out. God, how much is a block of chocolates and biscuits? You do your grocery shopping small amounts most days. Bitsy, yeah. Bitsy, bitsy.

Just get a few things every day or two. Yeah. We've got a bad habit of doing that. One big shop a week and then like little top ups throughout the week. Yeah that because you go in for one or two things and then you get a you see something else shiny and yum and you're like okay I'll have a pack of biscuits

I'll have that as well. The average person apparently goes two times a week grocery shopping I feel like if I had a car in like because I live in an apartment don't have a car but I live in an apartment don't have a car but I live close to like two or three supermarkets

I feel like if I had a car and lived in the burbs I probably would just do big shops you do more maybe one or two a week less shops but bigger shops when you do do it

so this was part of a survey of people all about groceries and they worked out the average person spends 45 New Zealand dollars more per trip when they're hungry,

if they go supermarket shopping when they're hungry. Because you know the old adage, don't go shopping when you're hungry. Yeah, but that's a lot. Yeah, $45 per trip extra. Is it obviously because you're not hungry, so you're full, you're like, well, I don't need that. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Exactly, right. Yeah, right. And people also, the same survey found out that you're way less likely to stick to your healthy eating if you go to the supermarket hungry. Okay. So you're like, well, I'm hungry now, but I'll definitely need a treat later. So have a carrot before you go or something? Eat before you go. Just eat before you go.

Go straight after you eat. But you're always going after work. Yeah, when you're hungry. When you're hungry. And you haven't got something sorted for dinner. Because you don't have food at your house.

Exactly. That's why you're going. Bingo. Yeah, okay. So, yeah, so 45 New Zealand dollars. Extra. So maybe the key is to go

and do a big shop for the week after, like, lunch one weekend or after breakfast, do you reckon? Yeah. And then that way you're going to not spend as much. If you want to avoid the crowds, the best time to go is first thing in the morning from eight in the morning till 10.

And you know I loved a bit of markdown meat. That's when there's some markdown meat. In the morning. After work, yeah, there's always markdown meat. That's the worst time. Four to six is the worst time to go. Oh yeah, after work. No, absolutely. Well, I'm saying after our work, which is like Markdown, mate. That's the worst time. Four to six is the worst time to go. Oh, yeah, after work. No, absolutely.

Well, I'm saying after our work, which is like 10 a.m. Well, 10 a.m. to 11.59 is a popular time to go, but not as busy as the post-work rush. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, because I try to avoid lunchtimes and, yeah, after work because the lines are massive. At lunchtimes?

Yeah, because people go to the city supermarkets for like, you know, a bit of salad and fruit and nuts and biscuits and stuff. And they go hungry because they're like, I'm going to save money. I'm not going to a cafe or a restaurant today. And then they go in hungry and they end up spending more. Yep. For treats later. It's like when you see people break when they're in the line for the checkout.

Because in the little metro supermarket it's like kind of the line weaves around past chocolate bars, all the bags of lollies. They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing. They get people to spend their money while they're waiting in line. They should put the booze by the

I reckon you'd sell bottles of wine if there was a confectionery free aisle but it had booze in it Yeah sometimes my supermarket the lines are so long it goes past the booze Oh really? So again they know what they're doing

They know what they're doing Hello Megan Markle's hosting a cooking show on Netflix. There's multiple articles about it. Here's what we know according to foodandwine.com. Foodandwine.com? I've got the scoop. Foodandwine.com.

I've got the big scoop. It's going to have a whole lot of celebrities on it. Okay. It's going to be like whole lot of celebrities on it. Okay. It's going to be like a celebrity interview show slash cooking show. Right. Not exactly like a brand new premise, but. Because I have delved into her Wikipedia under education to see early life and education to see if she has any kind of.

Culinary. Culinary education. She was in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, so she may have been on, like, you know, a mince, done tacos one night. You know, your student flat kind of meals. Yeah. Do they do cooking in the sororities?

Would they take turns, do you think, like a student flat? I don't know how sororities work. It's a really American thing, isn't it? Yeah, I'm unsure. Sororities? Yeah, she did a bit of time in Spain, so maybe she learnt some good paella skills. But apparently not just dealing with cooking,

gardening, edutaining and friendship. Oh, right. So she's just going to sit around while... Four cornerstones of life. Okay, right. I've got the top six recipes for Meghan Markle's cooking show. Number six on the list is coronation, not that I was invited, chicken. That's good.

You've just got to grab them when they leave one, when they shed their shell. They're like a cicada. Right. They break out of the shell, the exoskeleton, and they get a bit bigger. That's how they, and then they harden again. You've got to get the soft shell crab when they come out of the crab. Grab! Right. That's why they're so expensive. But I can never say no to a soft shell crab item.

That's today's Top 6. This morning before the show, producer Jared told us something about bumper stickers.

Did you see this online, Jared? Yes. Yeah, I saw it on Tiki Tok. On Tiki Tok. Well, we're all learning from Tiki Tok. I mean, there's some stuff on there that we probably shouldn't be learning, but. Yeah. Tell everybody, tell the class what you told us about bumper stickers.

You know the honk if you like McCafe stickers or like bumper stickers that people have? They'll swap out McCafe for other stuff. Absolutely seamless working of the show sponsor there but I've never in my life seen one bumper sticker that says honk if you like my cafe. I've seen bumper stickers honk if you're horny. Yep. Honk if you love nuggies. Honk if you're a

silly goose. Yeah. All silly gooses do honk. So when I see those, I'll be like I am a silly goose. Honk honk. That's not what they're for. And so if I'm like, oh, you're a useless driver. Beep, beep. The person I'm honking at can be like, oh, such a silly goose behind me.

He's also a silly goose. I'd never thought about it like that. They're sarcastic. Honk if you're horny. So someone's like, beep, beep. You're like, you drove a nugget a-hole. You're like, whoa, whoa. Someone back there's horny.

It's just never occurred to me. Like, you drove a nugget a-hole. You're like, whoa, whoa, something back there's horny. Like, this must have some. It just never occurred to me. This must have some psychological name, right? Like, or some kind of. Yeah, it definitely might. This is some kind of process, right? Like, you're deflecting or managing some kind of. Absolutely. Insult.

There's something. There's something there, right? Yeah. Like. Let me search it up on TikTok. Yeah, what would you Google? What would you Google? The psychological reasoning behind bumper stickers?

The psychology of bumper stickers? Like, there must be some kind of... You're not taking on... Because what I saw was neurodivergent people read it as, I agree with that, I'm gonna honk. Whereas... Other people... other people don't. Narcissists or a-holes are just like,

is that right? Okay. It just blows my mind. I've never thought about that when I've seen the... No, neither. Yeah. I just thought it was a funny bumper sticker. Yeah. And I always thought it was a funny bumper sticker yeah and I always thought it was more like

you were making a group in a situation where you can't socialise with people it was a way of reaching out to fellow nuggy enthusiasts or goose enthusiasts or honk if you love pizza I've never put a bumper sticker

on the vits because it's why would you put a bumper sticker on a big bike? I am not a big bumper sticker guy. But wouldn't you just forget that it's on there? Okay, here's a couple more. Honk if you think I'm sexy. So that one works. Yeah, that works.

That's the perfect example of it because someone toots at you because you're driving badly, you'd be like, thank you very much. You're not taking on the negativity, are you? Honk if you're hungover. Honk if you love cats. Oh, my God. I need that one, and it's got cats on it.

You can put it on your rideshare cars. Yeah. Just, yeah. It's magnetic. Get your little city hop. You're like, I'm driving, baby. Have a big wad of this for every car you get into. Honk if you love Jesus.

Honk if you're worried. Honk if you're, um, um no i won't read that one out bumper stickers were invented in 1946 a canvas a kansas not canvas kansas printer fashioned the first adhesive type of bumper sticker it was for president eisenhower's election campaign 1946 were cars even around then well they even have had bumpers, you know? They would have had little bumpers. Yeah. But then you don't see them on the bumper either.

People just put them on the car, on the boot. Oh. That's, yeah, it's insane. Yeah, but apparently the earliest form of the honk if was the 70s honk if you're horny. Right. The same as the smiley face that's explained in the Forrest Gump movie. He should have also done the honk iffoo Horny. Right. The same as the smiley face that's explained in the Forrest Gump movie.

He should have also done the Honkafoo. Yeah. I'll never look at those bumper stickers the same now, will I? Yeah. Changing lives is what we do here. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. How much do you think the beauty industry was worth in 2023? Billions of dollars.

How many billions of dollars? Five. 100. Keep going up. Yep. How many billions of dollars? Five. 100. Keep going up. 200. Keep going up. 300. Keep going up.

500. Down a little bit. 400. 430. I was just about to say, $430 billion. Wow. So like nearly half a trillion?

Everybody. Yeah. That's insane. Everybody wants to look their best. What do you think about all the creams? Well, Sade was putting on makeup the other day for a Zoom. I was like, there's a filter for that. A Zoom?

Who is a Zoom with? That's a secret. It's a... What do you mean you're having a secret Zoom? It's a secret Zoom. It wasn't a secret Zoom. It was a very boring Zoom. So she didn't need makeup?

Yeah, she didn't need makeup on. I was like, what are you doing? She's like, I can't go on a Zoom looking like this. I was like, you absolutely can. Now I really want it. Do you guys want to know who was in it? I'll tell you. I'll tell you later what the Zoom was about.

So I was like, what are you doing that for? It always blows my mind when women wear makeup to the gym. Yes. Like, you're going to be sweaty and all. Yes. Some people look fantastic at the gym. That is not a place to look fantastic. It's a place to look bedraggled, exhausted, sweaty and hot.

Yeah. And not the hot, hot. I'm talking temperature hot. Yeah. You're supposed to look like you're near death. Yeah. And some people are looking good there. I know.

It's not fair. Calm down. Well, apparently everybody wants to look their best because another reason to look hot, attractive people are more trustworthy. No, so now add up what they've got going for them. They're hot. Yep. That's one in itself.

People go out of their way to help them. To help the hot people. They earn higher salaries. Yes. They're considered better leaders. We just said the other day, if you have a hot lawyer, you're more likely to get off as well. Yep. Get off the crime. Yeah.

And if you were hot but also charged with the crime and you had a hot lawyer, that's a double down because they're more trustworthy. People consider hot people more trustworthy. Just because they're hot, we're like, well, we must certainly be able to trust them. Yeah.

Why, I guess, like, the good con men are sort of better looking guys. They've got the charisma, the looks, and so people are like, yeah, look, I'll give you all this money. I'm just thinking about that. What about that crypto guy

that just got banked? Bankman Freed. Sam Bankman Freed. He wasn't. He was kind of a bit... No, what's his deal? I don't know who that is. banked? Bankman Freed. Sam Bankman Freed. He wasn't. He was kind of a bit. No, what's his deal? I don't know. You know, he went to prison.

The crypto guy. What did he do with the crypto? But I wouldn't say he was just kind of like a bit of a nerdy looking. Imagine he probably wouldn't be in prison if he was hot. He would have got off of it. He'd be living in a cryptic castle. Yeah. Crypto castle.

A crypto castle. A crypto castle? Well, you want your castles to be cryptic. You know, living in a cryptic castle. Yeah. Crypto castle. A crypto castle. A crypto castle? Well, you want your castles to be cryptic. You know, solve a few puzzles to be able to get into them. What does another thing hot people get? Great. Guess us mingers will just trudge on with the day then. Yeah, yeah.

We'll just keep going. We'll do the heavy lifting. We'll keep going. Yep. We know our place in this hierarchy. Yep. I can't trust you though. You can't trust me.

I can't trust you. Because, you know. M in this hierarchy. Yeah, I can't trust you, though. You can't trust me. I can't trust you. Because, you know. Manga. Yeah. Untrustworthy manga. Yeah. And I get it if you don't trust me. It's fine.

I don't trust anybody. Okay, right. What about. By the way, don't trust just a little bit less. Okay, right. I'm not trusting. You've always got your guard up. Me?

Always. Silly little pole. That's what happens when you're the lowest rung on the minger ladder, is that everybody's a threat. Play ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley. Silly little pole. 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. Silly little pole. Silly little pole. Today's silly little pole. Streaming services, how many do you have? I'm just on a Wikipedia page of the list of media streaming services around the world.

They've been organized in groups of fewer than 1 million subscribers up to over 100 million subscribers. So those would be the big dogs. Man, so we've asked you, like, how many do you have? And it's blowing my mind because I've forgotten about, like, I pay for YouTube premium because I hate the ads and I watch lots of YouTube. But there's also Spotify, then there's Apple TV,

there's Disney+, there's Prime, there's Hey You, Neon, Netflix. I didn't even think I was counting Spotify. Well, that's a subscription. Yeah. So, I mean... I don't know if you've... Yeah, the big ones, Netflix has got 260 million subscribers. Disney plus Hulu and ESPN have got the same, almost the same spread across those services.

Amazon Prime's got 205 million. There's a couple of Chinese streamers there. IQY has 128. Tencent, which is another one, is 115. Then YouTube's got 100 million. YouTube Premium's got 100 million. And everyone's, because YouTube Premium's expensive.

Yeah, it's like 20-something bucks a month, isn't it? So... Yeah, I was just looking through my credit card. I brought a Kmart Steamer because that's the first thing in my credit card statement. One of the standout ones?

Yeah. Yeah, nice hotline. Because I keep borrowing Haley's. Got a rack. Yeah, because it's the first thing in my credit card statement. One of the stand-up ones? Yeah. Yeah, nice hot plate. Because I keep borrowing Hayley's. Got a rack. Yeah, because it's got a rack. Got a rack. Yeah. Good play, hot plate.

God, I'm excited to get that this week. Yeah, that'll be fun. That'll be exciting for me. Yeah, that'll be nice. For the three times I use a shirt every year. Yeah, yeah. But you know what? It's going to be crispy steam.

Oh boy, it's going to be not wrinkled. It's going to be not wrinkled at all. And I reckon I'll start using it on my t-shirts as well. Yeah, if I had one on, and you've got enough wardrobe space, you hang your T-shirts on coat hangers, don't you? Yeah, I do. God damn, that's good stuff.

I'm going to get me more wardrobe space so I can hang things that aren't traditionally hung. That's good stuff. Yeah, that's great stuff. So, wait a minute, I've got the results here. We're a little distracted. By my steamer. Yeah, we did.

Steamer chat, steamer chat, steamer chat. The options were, do you have zero to two streaming services, three to four streaming services, or five plus? The most popular answer was zero to two, 48%, three to four, 43%. Only 9% of people have five plus streaming services. So I've got YouTube Premium at $17.99. Mine's more than that. So maybe you're doing the family one.

Yeah, maybe I've got multiple screens. So the whole family can use it. But that's the thing, they add up, don't they? When you've got... That does surprise me. I thought people, maybe it's the cost of living crisis. Yeah. And I've been a big proponent of just get one.

Tira downloads, what? No, no, certainly not one. Not the Pyate Bay. No, of getting one for a month and just binging as much as you can. Yeah, and then switching. Or even if you need to, keep going for another month with that one.

But then when you're done with that, then go to the next one and just do a month there and binge, binge, binge. Binge, binge, binge. Well, Dedrick says, I've got all of them, but I share them with my friends and stuff.

We all pay for one or two each and share all the logins. Yeah, but Disney Plus last week said that June's when they're cracking down. Yeah, Netflix has already had a crackdown. Jetski says, Zero, not willing to pay. Would rather pay my mortgage off first. Single income, 10 years in,

one year to go. One year to go! Wow. Well done, you. Good work. Well done, you. Boy, you're not going to know what's hit you after 10 years. Well done, you. Good work. Well done, you. Boy, you're not going to know what's hit you after 10 years of having streamed. Well, you've got to splash out on some screen. You've got some great content.

Yeah. And saying that, though, the TVNZ has some great stuff on it. Oh, yeah, and that's free. And that's free. You've just got to put up with the punishing ads. Neon.

I mean, we love ads. We love ads. We love ads. Huge fan of clients. Rachel says, Neon, Amazon, Netflix, Z5, and Disney+. Wow. What is Z5?

You just don't end up watching all of them. So you may as well park them. Yeah. She's watching all of them. Z5 is an Indian-based streaming service. Okay. For India, content from India. Okay.

Charlotte says, iPirate. Charlotte. You do, content from India. Okay. Charlotte says, I pirate. Charlotte. You do, Charlotte. You sure do. On the high seas. Brooke says, too gosh darn many. Disney Plus just emailed today

saying it's going to be $189 next year. Big old pause on the membership coming their way. Eden says, have four but pay for two. Sharing the passwords. Sharing the passwords. Sharing the passwords. I've had zero for the last six months.

So far, I haven't missed them. Between the on-demand channels and YouTube, TikTok, I'm well entertained, says Courtney. Okay. Yeah, right. Tom, I've got Prime, Netflix, Neon, Plex. Plex, you can pay for Plex. You can pay. Why would you, though?

Don't know. Oh, because then you get your shows offline. That's like a library management app on your TV. Yeah. And you have the shows on your computer that you download. And I think maybe you can get shows on there. They do. They do.

They've got some channels that you can stream. So Prime, Netflix, Neonplex, Disney+, UFC, Sky Sport, Apple TV. I forgot about Sky Sport. We're playing for Sky Sport. I've've forgotten about and Hayley pays for the basketball yeah she pays for the NBA that's a lot of money too the NBA yeah

I don't even watch Disney Plus but I don't even like Disney Plus says Jay but I need to be able to watch Hamilton constantly that's the musical Hamilton yeah

not the city of Hamilton not the city like a live stream webcam of Hamilton you could just do that. They just constantly... Why? Like I liked going...

Watching the Hamilton musical. When we went to Hamilton, I liked that. It was a... I didn't go. It was cool, but like I wouldn't want to watch it over and over again. Yeah. I'm a big Lin-Manuel Miranda fan. I know, you're a big fan.

Huge fan. Big fan. But no, I don't need to watch Hamilton constantly. Okay. There you go. That is a silly little poll. Inviting your partner or asking if you can bring a partner to something is an age-old tradition. Yeah.

Like, you said boys weekend or girls weekend. Absolutely not. Like, no. Yeah, that's a no. If your partner asks if they can come, just don't go on the boys weekend because A, you can't take them, and B, they don't want you to go. It sounds like it's just going to be trouble, right? Yeah.

So same with girls weekends, any weekend. There's some things you just don't want you to go, it sounds like it's just going to be trouble, right? Yeah. So same with girls' weekends, any weekend. There's some things you just don't invite your partner on. No. And those are two of them. I think you'll be okay just for a weekend apart. I think you'll be okay. I think you'll be okay. But to be honest, if they don't want you to go,

maybe don't go because it's just going to be constantly brought up and thrown in your face. It's like those couples that can't sit together on a plane and they're like, how will we cope for this hour flight? Yeah. I think you'll be okay. Weddings? Yep.

To me, that's a tricky one. Because that's, unless you get offered a plus one, it's a numbers thing for a reason. It's very expensive to bring your partner. Well, they've got to cater. So a guy online who is TikTok's agent of self-described gay chaos, Bran Flakes, has come up with a graph. A graph?

A graph. Is it a flow diagram or a graph? A grapholo. It's not a flow diagram. It's one of those ones flow diagram or a graph? A grapholo. It's not a flow diagram. It's one of those ones that looks like a cross. Oh, yeah. And, you know, you'll be like most of them are a demographic thing and it'll be like male or female skewed and then age along the axes.

And then you decide where you're targeting. Right. That's our industry's kind of version of these. But he has a large group at the top, small group down the bottom, very formal event on the X. Oh, yeah. So is it a very formal event or a casual hangout? And then you can use that as to where you can,

if you should ask if you can bring your partner. Very formal event, small group. it's a no-no. No, that's a no. If anything fits into that square, into that quarter of the graph, it's a no, you don't even ask. If it's a large group and a casual hangout, absolutely ask every time. If it's a very formal event but a large group, not so much. Yeah.

And then if it's a casual hangout and a very small group, you've also got to ask. Yeah. And then if it's just any event you don't want to go, personally, you don't. Yeah. No, no. Funnily enough, this entire graph also fits. Can I be? I had the best weekend and you know what?

I didn't leave home. I lie. I went to my tent twice. But that's the only time you left home. That's the only time I left home at the weekend, and it was gorgeous. It was a great weekend. No socialising at all.

No socialising, no work commitments, no nothing. What a weekend. Watch the Warriors. No kids for the school holidays? No, the kids were there. The kids were there, okay. They were, Indy had a sleepover one day. August was kind of chilling out the whole weekend.

Right. It was great. It was a perfect weekend. Perfect, perfect. I actually said at dinner last night, August was kind of chilling out the whole weekend. Right. It was great. It was a perfect weekend. Perfect. I actually said at dinner last night, I was like, I hope you've all had as great a weekend as I have. They were like, no, we're bored. We want out of here.

Let us leave. Let us leave. And I'm like, no, it's a prison. It's Hotel California. You can check out, but you can never leave. Next on the show, a sad day for you. Well, when this news was broken to me over the weekend, I mean, this was probably the lowest point of my weekend.

I've just described it as a fantastic weekend. Yeah. And it reminded me of that I was obsessed with these people when I was a kid. We want to know about what you're obsessed with as a kid and I'll tell you what I was next. Play. ZM's Fletchvorn and Hayley.

I'm just googling. Do we not say Siamese twins anymore? I don't know. Do we not? Co-joined. Do you say co-joined now? Doctors now use the term conjoined twins. Conjoined twins.

But the jargon hasn't been embraced. Part of the reason maybe that Siam became Thailand in 1939, perhaps many of us don't think of Siam as a place anymore, so the objective Siamese seems unobjectionable. So why were they called Siamese? Because they were joined. No, because Ang and Chang were the first, like, high profile, and they were from Siam, the kingdom of Siam.

Right. And so people were like like Siamese twins. Dear listener, you may not know this, but as a child, Vaughan, Alan Smith was obsessed with, at the time, Siamese twins. So as a child, I would just get very interested in things. Right. As specific things. And one of them was Siamese, which conjo in things. Right. As specific things. And one of them was Siamese conjoined twins.

Yes. And the conjoined twins that kind of led to my childhood obsession passed away at the weekend. Right. Were they the first ever? I'm not sad. You're not sad. Okay.

No, they're not the first ever. They were the oldest ever. Right. They died at the age of 62,'m not sad. You're not sad? Okay. No, they're not the first ever. They were the oldest ever. Right. They died at the age of 62, Laurie and George. 62 years. And they were joined at the head. Yeah.

Which is, I think, why I was so fascinated. Imagine being joined to your brother, Philip. You'd hate that. You'd hate that. But I wonder if we'd been joined all the time if we would.

You'd have to. Yeah. What are you going to do? What's the choice otherwise? Wait, because they had the same brain? They had different brains. They had two separate, but they were intertwined bits and pieces

and skull and blood vessels that made their separation nearly impossible without incurring brain damage. And you know this because you were obsessed. Because I had an obsession with it. Did you do a school project? I don't, I think maybe. I talked to a lot of people about it at school.

God, you're weird. I was at primary school. Right. This was after my big cats obsession. I got a little bit about big cats. Which is understandable. Did a school assignment over the school holidays on big cats. No. Which is understandable. Did a school assignment over the school holidays on big cats?

No one asked me to. It wasn't for marks of anything. I just wanted to read about big cats. That's the problem when you get isolated on a farm.

And learn about, and I remember I was at my nana's place and she's like, when is this due? I was like, just whenever I feel like it. And she's like,

oh, okay, so what is everybody else doing? I'm like, probably just enjoying their holidays. Probably just playing with their friends. Did you know the bobcat? And then I did it with a bobcat fact.

Yeah. Did you know bobcats? And it wasn't until I got to intermediate that I guess it gets beaten out of you. Yeah. Being a nerd. Yeah, yeah. Being like, you know,

borderline obsessed with things for like, I'm guessing like a three or four week period and then I'd move on to the next thing. But the conjoined twins obsession was when I learned about these guys, Laurie and George, and then, but this was also before the internet. I couldn't just go online and learn.

Oh. I'd have to find like an encyclopedia. Yeah. And read about that. Encarta 95. We used to go to the Morrinsville Public Library. Yep. Pre-95, my dude.

And you'd just read up. This was like early 90s. And I'd just be like, excuse me, do you have any books on conjoint Siamese twins? And they'd be like, what? How old are you? I'd be like, I am eight years old. No. And I want to know all about it.

And then, yeah, that's when I learned about Ang and Chang. Right. The Siamese twins that gave the name to the Siamese. And then, yeah, that's when I learned about Ang and Chang. Right. The Siamese twins that gave the name to the Siamese twins. Yeah, and now they did. And, well, no, no, Ang and Chang died many, many years ago. Laurie and George died at the weekend. Right, okay. Yeah.

Which made me be like, oh, my God, I remember now. Your obsession. Just my obsession. Was your mum just, like, cut it out? Mum, because I would pep mum with questions. Okay. Like, these two would join at the head. I'd be like, do you think they like can read each other's minds?

I don't know, Vaughn. How much do you, like whose heart pumps more blood? I don't know. Could one of them do something without the other one knowing? No, I don't think so, Vaughn. They'd have to put a sheet up at least. Yeah. Well, George was shorter because he had spina bifida.

Right. And he, she would wheel him around Like he had a sort of a Wheeled stool that he would Be on and she would push it She would push it Weird kid You're a weird kid

You got out okay though Well here I am Here I am, a wealth of knowledge Weird stuff that's never going to help anybody I would like to know It's okay, though. I go, well, here I am. Here I am. A wealth of knowledge. Weird stuff that's never going to help anybody. I would like to know, when you were a kid this morning, when you were a kid, what were you obsessed with? And was it like a long obsession?

Kids were always obsessed with trains. That's why Thomas the Tank Engine's a seasoned favourite. I was going to say like celebrities, but is that more of a teenage thing when you get, would you take calls like, you know, you're Justin Bieber's, yeah, you're One Direction. Yeah, that's a typical teen obsession. I would like to know the weirder.

Obsessions? The weirder obsessions that when you're a kid, you're like, and I would even, could hear from parents this morning who have kids who are maybe this obsessive type. Okay, 0800DARLS.M at Amazon number. Give us a call. You can text through 9696. What were you obsessed with for any given period of time

when you were a child? At the weekend, the world's oldest living conjoined twins, Laurie and George Chappelle, were no longer. They died at the age of 62. 62 years joined at the head. And this was something you were obsessed with as a kid. Yeah.

I think it was because I couldn't work. I just couldn't work it out. So I had a bit of an obsession with it. Yeah. And that's what we've asked now. 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696 to text through. What, as a kid, were you obsessed with? Annalise, what was your obsession?

Hi, guys. First of all, long-time listener, first-time caller. Oh, got the bell. We got the bell. Thank you, Annalise. Thank you for joining the show. Thank you and welcome. So from the ages of probably about, I think, like six to like 15,

I was obsessed with pandas. I had over 100 panda items. I always wore panda T-shirts every birthday. You know when you like something for birthdays, you go and just get you that thing? Yeah. I think that's how it started. And did you ever get,

because I know as a kid, Auckland Zoo had some pandas. Zhaozhou and Feifei in 1988. I just had to Google. I'm not that old. Not to make you guys feel old, but I'm not that old not to make you guys feel old but I'm not that old I was going to say

you didn't sound old enough to because I know they were only here for a wee while they were here for a three month visit in October

1988 yeah that's about 12 years before I was born sorry to hear that my parents take me to Adelaide Zoo

I begged them because we were going to Melbourne. I'm like, let's just pop across. So that was my Christmas and birthday present in 2014. Oh, my God. And were you just crying when you finally got to see pandas? Yeah, I just stood there for like three hours and looked at them.

And I brought so much merch. And my parents just walked around the zoo and came back to me like, we so much merch and my parents just like walked around the zoo and like came back to me like we should leave. I'm like probably. And was that, did you, did that break the obsession? Were you done then? Because you kind of clocked it. Yeah, I feel like

I brought so much merch. I had like half a suitcase full when I got back and then I think kind of when I had friends come round and see my room full of pandas and, like, this giant soft toy panda, I was like, oh, that's cool. And then I think it wasn't until I went to uni, I'm like, I can't take all of these.

So they all packed up. I still have them, but they're just in boxes. Do you still love pandas? I do love them. I think they're pretty cool. Like, do you. When you go on Instagram and TikTok, is it just like panda video after panda

video? Yeah, I do love the baby pandas like tumbling off slides. Yeah! Yeah, same. Oh my god, that's so good. Wang Wang and Fu Ni are the Adelaide Zoo pandas. Are they still there? Yeah, they're still there.

Are they? Yeah, I think they're going back soon so that's a bit sad but they're the only ones in the southern hemisphere. They're the only breeding period in the southern hemisphere.

I love that you know that. I was just about to tell you some facts. You know all the facts. You know all of the facts. I know all the facts. China owns all the pandas in the world.

Yeah, they load them out. A monopoly on pandas. Monopoly, yes. A monopoly. I'd bring some pandas back to New Zealand. You are great. I have a really interesting chat about pandas. A monopoly, yes. And a monopoly. I'd bring some pandas back to New Zealand. You are great.

I have a really interesting chat about pandas. Is it too early to say Caller of the Week? God, it's early, but I feel it. I know it's Monday, but I can feel it. I know this kind of wholesomeness and this, you love pandas. I'm just going to do it because I'm not going to get in trouble here, but you've got our $50 McCafe voucher for Caller of the Week. I always regret this when I do it early.

We always do this early. We might get another one about who cares. Well done, Annalise. Wait there, we'll sort that out. Did you go away? What about the Kung Fu Panda movies? Oh, yeah, what about the... Did they tick the box?

Annalise, do you like Kung Fu Panda? Do you like the Kung Fu Panda movies? Yeah, I'm very excited. I'm going to go see that. Is it the fourth one or the first one? Oh yeah, the fourth one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It rules, it rules. You'll love that.

Spoiler alert, pandas. Full of them. Yeah, a lot of pandas. Okay, keep your texts coming in. 9696 0800 DALS at M. What were you obsessed with as a kid? Talking about what you're obsessed with as a child, I love this message.

It's coming from a parent who has an obsessed child. Okay. My son is currently obsessed with very unrelated would-you-rathers. Oh, okay. Like the one this morning was, would you rather be a Weet-Bix that's about to be eaten

or a guinea pig in the ocean that can't stop swimming? I don't know, Ali. I just want to go to the Wees in peace. Please leave me alone. I love this know, Ali. I just want to go to the Wheeze in peace. Please leave me alone. I love this kid. Yeah. I would be the Weet-Bix

because I don't know, being in the middle of the ocean, just keeping on swimming. But then you'd get eaten. We're about to get eaten. But you'd get eaten by a shark. You'd feel the pain. If you're a Weet-Bix with the ability

to even acknowledge the fact that you're a Weet-Bix, I assume you have nerve endings. Weety nerve endings. Weety nerve endings. Yeah, I don't know. When I was obsessed with holding my breath. I'd just do it any time I was just sitting there and had to be quiet. I'd be like, I wonder how long I can hold my breath for,

and I'd hold my breath as long as I could. Somebody else said, I was obsessed as a child with spontaneous human combustion. What? I thought I was constantly going to burst into flames. Probably it was a little bit of Catholic guilt.

But at the same time I would just be like will it happen to me today? It's no way to live. It's never been proven, eh? But it's happened, hasn't it? Has it? I don't know.

Or is it a conspiracy? Maybe. When I was a kid I was obsessed with Tuck's Wonder Dogs. Why wouldn't you be obsessed with that beautiful dog agility show? They were doing hooting. Great show.

Putting the sheep in the pen and everything. I'd watch old recordings of it, back-to-back recordings of Tux Wonder Dogs. Everyone I knew who was going to win. It's wholesome. Yeah. What are the least wholesome things you could be doing? Somebody else said a few panda people come into the party. Oh, yeah.

I was obsessed with Komodo dragons at the age of six. I also, like Vaughn, did a homework holiday project that nobody asked me to do. And then I presented it to the teacher and the teacher was like, okay. Okay. Imagine if your teacher was like, okay, no. Okay. You're going to get outside a little bit. Maybe cause a little bit of trouble.

I was obsessed with money when I was like, okay, no. Okay. You've got to get outside a little bit. Maybe cause a little bit of trouble. I was obsessed with money when I was a kid. I'd iron one and two dollar notes so they had no creases in them and I'd get coins and I'd like polish them. Because for some reason I just had to have the money I had had to be clean. It wasn't a germ freak thing? Like a germ phobia? Maybe. My son was obsessed with us never running out of petrol in the car.

The minute we got in the car, we were like, how much petrol's in the car and how many cars do we get? I don't know where they got that. Ancient Egypt and pharaohs and Tutankhamen, especially mummification and taking the brain out through the nostrils. What? That was some fascination. That's good stuff.

How do they get the brain out? Just with a straw? I think they're moolied. They'd get up there and whiz around it. With a whiz stick. Whiz stick, yeah, whiz stick. Blender up the nostril and then just sort of drain it out the nose. Play ZM's Fletch Vordernaley. Play ZM.

Hey, you on the phone, I better can guess your mum's name. Well, you've been on an absolute winning streak, Vaughan, for 2024. Yeah, thank you. Even at our live shows, two live shows, we played Bedokin's Mum's Name. You nailed those. Yep. Even got the dad's name. Christchurch.

Amazing. In fact, I don't think you've lost this year. I don't know how many times we've done it this year. Turn a row. I was worried about the psychic exhaustion. I don't know why it took me so long to recover from those live shows. Jamie joins us. Good morning, Jamie.

Hello. Welcome to I Bet I Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Vaughan will now ask you five questions about your mum. How do I spell Jamie? J-A-M-I-A. Classic. Yeah, that's not one of your questions. I like to write the name at the top of the card.

Okay. Okay, Jamie, what's mum's favourite season? I'm talking summer, winter, autumn, spring. Oh, I think she's a summer girly. Oh, I love a summer girly too. Yeah. Sounds like she'd love like a nice chardonnay on the deck. I'd have her pinned as a sweeter wine girl.

Oh, really? Nah, probably, oh, she's more of a rum. A rum? I mean, that's a freebie. Tina, put down Tina. You've given me a freebie on that one. Put down Tina.

That's a real kind of a... Sharon. Sharon would love a rum and coke on the deck. Sharon on the deck. How old is mum? If you don't mind me asking? She is... Oh, 57 this year.

I might just chuck a Jenny in there. Are you going to put your classics down, you know, like a Christina Helen? Yeah, I'll put my classics. I'll put my old ones that are always on the list are on there. What are mum's hobbies, Jamie? She likes to knit. Oh, okay. But she doesn't, other than that, she doesn't have a lot of hobbies.

She owns a shop, so she's a businesswoman at heart. Okay. She's a boss babe. She's a boss babe. She's a boss babe that goes home for a rum and coke after a long day. Yeah, yeah. Wait, we never confirmed that she mixes her rums. We don't know if she's mixing or she's just having straight rum. I think she'd be a rum and coke girl, wouldn't she? She's definitely a rum and coke.

Rum and coke. I don't want this to be one of my questions, but full gas coke? Or is she coke zero? She's coke zero. Does your mum ever drink that? It's Karuba, isn't it? What was that? It's Karuba, isn't it?

No, I actually don't know what it is. She's a Bundaberg. Or maybe a Mount Gay. She could be a posh mum. She could be a Mount Gay. Yeah She could be a posh mum. She could be a Mount Gay. Yeah, could be a posh mum. It used to be a Bundaberg when we were in Australia. Okay.

Yeah, because that's why I was thinking. Not now. Okay, so she left Australia and she left behind the Bundaberg rum. It used to be a Karuba. Yep, okay. She's moving on. But it's not now and I know it's changed, but I don't know what it is now. Business must be doing well if she's upgraded.

Well, no, we don't know that she's upgraded. Rum's available in NZ. Oh, is it like a stolen rum? That was a good rum. Okay. Okay. Next question. We've got rum heavy.

I asked Hobbies and we got onto rum there. What are her siblings' names? She has a Gary and a Susan. Oh, yes. Gary and Susan. We're in the right ballpark here. Yeah. Gary, Susan and...

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Matty McLean's messaged me. He wants in on this. You've got your own radio show to worry about, Matthew. Stay out of it. But I am going to take... He said Leanne. Oh, my God, that's perfect. Yes, that is... Oh, that's really good. And he knows m Matthew. Stay out of it. But I am going to take, he said Leanne. Oh my god, that's perfect.

Yes, that is. That's really good. And he knows mums. He knows mums. Because mums love him. They do. And heading them up. Even though he hasn't done the weather for ages, still about how he got the weather wrong. Put a Tracy down. I've already got a Tracy down. Yeah, good. Of course I've got a Tracy. What am I, an idiot? I'm going to put a Catherine. Cathy for

short. Final question, where would be mum's ideal holiday destination? Oh. She loves the islands. She loves to get away. Yeah. Get away from it all. Rum and Coke by the pool.

Can she get a rum and Coke by the pool? Buy her own rum duty free. Yep. Sneak it into the resort. Yep. You're not supposed to bring in your own booze. Always take your own snacks to Rara. She's not paying her own. Rara. She's not paying

her own resort prices. That's madness. Okay. Just want two more here. Feeling a Fiona and a Katrina. Oh, yes. That's a good one.

After Hurricane Katrina, they called her the Hurricane. The Hurricane. After she's polished off a bottle. She'd bloody blow into town with a couple of rums under her skin. Okay, those are your five questions, Vaughn. You've got enough names?

Yes. All right, Jamie, if you hear your mum's name, yell out, Stop, that's my mum's name. Vaughn, your time starts now. Karen, Julie, Kim, Tracy, Joanne, Janine, Rachel, Sandra, Christine, Tina, Angela, Sharon, Jackie, Wendy. That's my mum's name. Which one?

Jamie, you've won $100 and you have triggered the bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. One guess for Dan's name. One guess. It wouldn't be Gary, would it? You wouldn't marry a Gary. You wouldn't marry a Gary if your brother was Gary. Oh yeah, that's what I meant.

You wouldn't have meant that. It's too close to home. Gates wouldn't even open on that one. Ange and Tim? Ange and Steve. Ange and John. Yeah, it could be a John, but I feel like it's the next generation on. Like Gary.

What else is in that kind of... Late 60s. Tom. Tom. You know why I'm feeling this? Why are you feeling Tom? Angela Diodne and Tom Bradley. Vintage.

New Zealand newsreaders. Ang and Tom. I'm just trying to think of what Ang has gone with. Yeah, that would have been older. Ang. Ang. Ang.

Well, you've got to pick, Vaughan. Pick one. Tom. Angie and Tom. I want to go Tom. It was my initial like, it jumped at me because of Jordan Ian Bradley. A classic parent. All right, Jamie, what is your dad's name?

Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Mac. Wait, do you even know your dad's name?

Yeah, Mac, short for Michael. Oh! No, Mike's short for Michael. It's the accent. Because he's Australian. Mac. Mac. Mac. Oh, of course, Michael Mac. Mac. Yeah, we all know a Mac short for Michael. It's the accent. Because he's Australian. Mick. Mick. Mick.

So now mum's not Australian. Dad's the Australian. God damn. You don't go home empty handed because you have picked up $100 cash. Congratulations. Thank you. Well done. Thank you, Jamie.

Have a lovely week. Regards to Ange and Mick Yeah Play ZDM's Fletchvorn and Hayley Fact of the day Day, day, day Day

Yeah This week's Fact of the Day theme is things turning 50 in 2024. This was your suggestion. Was it? Pat on the back. You're welcome. Take yourself. You are welcome, Vaughn. Things turning 50 this year.

Some things I hope you'll be like, I thought that was new. Or some things you're like, is that only 50 years old? And some things, like today's, you'll probably be like, that sounds about right. Okay. Invented in 1974,

celebrating its 50th birthday this year, the Rubik's Cube. Oh, okay. Invented by Hungarian puzzle lover, Erno Rubik. Hence the name.

Hence his cube. Yeah. The Hendrix Cube would have been better. Hendrix. What did you say his first name was? Erno. Oh, Erno. Yeah. The Hendrix cube would have been better. Hendrix. What did you say his first name was? Erno. Oh, Erno.

Oh, no, the Erno cube. Erno cube. Erno cube. I think it's too similar to Uno. Yeah. People would have forgot to say Uno before they clicked the last one into place and the thing would have reset itself.

You would have lost, yeah. And you would have lost. Initially called the Magic Cube. And then the marketing people that purchased it and started selling it said it's to teach children about three-dimensional objects. He's like, no, it's not. It's a puzzle. It was invented to be a puzzle.

It was all it was ever invented to be. When he invented it, he was immediately addicted to the Rubik's Cube. Right. And he said he doesn't like when people look up how to solve it rather than figuring out how to solve it himself but I think you're about to say he doesn't like when people take off the stickers and re-put them back on. Yeah that's another

way to do it. Which is what I'd love to do. Prizes and awards for the Rubik's Cube in 1978 it won the Budapest International Trade Fair prize of the fair. Toy of the Year in Germany United Kingdom, USA and France in 1980. Toy of the Year in Germany, the United Kingdom, USA and France in 1980. Toy of the Year in Finland, Sweden and Italy the following year. It's won Toy of the Year pretty much around the world

and continues to win awards throughout. Yeah. In fact, it was the Rubik's Cube that got him a honorary citizen of Budapest, which is pretty much the key to the city. He's lived there his whole life. Right. He was born in World War II. His father worked in a factory that was, he was a plane designer.

He designed war planes. So it's, because have you ever seen one like come apart? They're really full on inside. Oh yeah, insane. Like, because they all have to, obviously have to turn, but then also turn the other way. How did he figure that out? He did.

He was just a puzzler. He just, and his father was puzzler. He just thought, and his father was an engineer and he just said he kind of learnt a lot of things about movement and machinery and machining parts. I hate them. I don't think I've ever finished one.

Indy's got a friend that can do them real quick. I think her record was like 45 seconds from start to end. The world's most expensive Rubik's Cube was designed in 1995, created by Fred Kulia and the Diamond Cutters International. It was worth two and a half million US dollars

because it had diamonds on every side. Different colours though? Different coloured diamonds. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, different coloured diamonds and jewels. Yeah. They're not all diamonds. And the first ever guide to how to solve one

was printed in a book and was released by a 13-year-old. In 1981, a 13-year-old called Patrick worked out how to do it. Yeah. Went to a book company and said, I've worked out how to do it. I can write a, you know, put it in this in a simple book form. Did so, but sold 1.5 million copies, obviously before the internet, because you can just look it up on YouTube. Yeah. So today's fact of the Day is,

and the theme this week will be things turning 50 in 2024 is the Rubik's Cube is now 50 years old. Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day,

Day. Yeah. Play ZM's Fletchford and Hayley. Play ZM. Time for the impossible phone-in topic, a topic we think is going to be hard to get calls for. Some men were fishing. They ran into a coral reef, tore a hole in the bottom of their boat. They had to go

to the nearest island they could. And it was called Pike Lot. It looks like it says Pikelets. Now it's got me thinking about Pikelets. Yeah. So they were on, their family said, hey, they didn't come back from fishing. There was a Coast Guard searching for them.

Where was this? And just out of Micronesia. Okay. Yeah. The island, the atoll that they live on, that they had left from, is a Micronesian fishing village. So where would be the biggest place we would have heard of? Guam's next to it. Okay.

Oh, yeah. Guam's not too far at all. Okay. So there was a Coast Guard ship went around, went looking, but it was a helicopter that was up that was coming back from searching the ocean for them when it saw help written on the beach in massive palm fronds. Oh.

Just like in the movies. Just like in the cartoons, the Bugs Bunny cartoons that had written help on the beach and palm fronds and the helicopter saw it so landed and there they were nine days

living on this island nine days yep nine days nine days you'd kind of be like they've given up now

haven't they because normally they look for a couple of days yeah how long does the search go for a week tops yeah and then it just starts

getting really expensive so yeah they spotted them and they went and rescued them. They had been, they had fishing gear and stuff so they kind of hadn't starved. So they could fish for food.

Yeah, but they were. Yeah, they weren't. They were hungry. I'd get over fish after like two days. Especially when there's no chips with the fish. Yeah.

Just fish and no chips. Some of that runny tomato sauce. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I'm guessing they had no runny tomato sauce. No runny tomato sauce to speak of, no. But this is what we wanted to ask this morning, is when did you have to wait ages to be rescued?

Now, are we going to have like a cut off? Like, are we going to have a day? No, I... Because, you know, you get a flat tire or something or your car breaks down, you've got to be rescued. A day is a very long time trapped in a well. If you fell down a well. Do you think people listening have been trapped in a well before?

Okay. Yep. Tiki-tiki-tembo, noso-rembo, chari-barri-orchi, peri-pembo could be caught listening. Okay, yeah. And of course he'll have the famous story about how his long name made his well rescue take a lot longer than it should have. Because nobody could say the name.

No one could say the name. His brother Chang, when he found out it fell down the well, rescued quick. Smart. Just like that, yeah. Easy to say, quick name. So, okay, so are we going to say at least a day? We're in a volcano, a long time in a volcano. Now you're just being silly.

What's the cutoff for our callers? How long did you wait to be rescued? Is it at least a day? 12 hours? 6 hours? I'm willing to hear the scenario because it may have felt like forever due to the circumstance of where you were trapped, stuck or lost. Producer Jared reckons we should have

a hard 12 hour plus rule to be rescued. That's fair. But what if you were a little kid? Yeah. But you know when you're a kid, time passes different. I was going to say, even if your car breaks down, like an hour, that's so long. You just want to be rescued straight away.

Yeah. Especially if you were using your car to go to the nearest village to get a ladder to rescue one of those fellows from the well. From the well. Yeah. Okay. 0800-DARLS-IT-M. It's the impossible finding topic. We ladder to rescue one of those fellows from the well. From the well. Yeah. Okay. 0800 DALS at M. It's the impossible finding topic. We want to take your calls now.

Someone messaged in. They say if it's a life-threatening scenario, I believe you should take calls less than 12 hours. Oh, okay. Yeah. See, I'm open to that. Yeah. Like, say, for example, you're-

You're cornered by lions. Yes. Yes. Okay. Five minutes would feel like a lifetime. You fall into an animal enclosure at a zoo, and they're like, oh, wait a minute, the keeper's doing something else at the moment.

That's a fair call, because if you fell into an animal enclosure and it took two minutes to be rescued, that is two minutes too long. Yeah, yeah, that's two minutes of life-threatening activity. And that would be a great story. Okay, so no time limit, but we want to hear your stories.

0800 DALS at M. Call now. You can text through 9696. When did you take a long time, asterisk, to be rescued? To be rescued. We want to know for the impossible finding topic today, did you have to wait ages to be rescued? People waited nine days on a remote island.

They spelt out help with palm, what did you call them? Throngs. Palm. Fronds. Fronds. Fronds.

F-R-O-N-D. Why didn't you just say leaves? It's not a leaf. It's a frond. Ah, they're leaves. It's not a leaf. It's a frond. It's a frond.

It's a whole thing. And so a helicopter that was searching for them saw the help written on the beach. They thought they were at sea. Yeah. They hadn't checked

these islands too much. Uninhabited this island that they were on. But yeah, they wrote help written on the beach. They thought they were at sea. They hadn't checked these islands too much. Uninhabited this island that they were on. But yeah, they wrote help and they got rescued nine days later. Amazing story. Nothing nine days. Nothing in that time, but some pretty intense waiting to be rescued. Our friend

got crushed by a boulder on the backside of Aruapaihu. The boulder just bloody tumbles down the volcano. It took 45 minutes for the helicopter to arrive. That's not too bad. But then it left again.

What? We found out later it was to go and get a winch. It didn't have a winch. It just turned up. No winch. What did they fly all the way there and just think they could land?

It only took 45 minutes to get there initially, but then when it went to get on the winch run, it was gone for a few hours. Right. We just waited there with our friend. Oh, that's a long time.

Yeah. Chris had 10 broken ribs, tore his hip muscle off the bone, severed nerve in his arm, but a year later he ran a 100-mile ultramarathon. Well, that's showing off. I would have just taken it easy. No need to do an ultramarathon. Just maybe a half?

You don't want to be doing a marathon in a boulder. It makes people feel bad. Yeah. Why are you out here making us all feel bad? want to be doing a marathon and a boulder hits you. Make people feel bad. Yeah. Why are you out here making us all feel bad? I haven't even been hit by a boulder in this. Absolutely not on my to-do list next year. Yeah. Somebody said we were mucking around at the school after school finished.

Yep. And my brother pushed me on a rope swing and I fell off. But as I fell off, my leg got caught. I couldn't lift up. I was just stuck there. He said, I'm going to go get mum. But then my leg got caught. I couldn't lift up. I was just stuck there. He said, I'm going to go get mum. But then when he got home, Dragon Ball Z was on, so he watched that and had something to eat

and then completely forgot it, got to dinner time and mum was like, where's your brother? And he's like, oh, he's upside down on a rope. So then they came back and I've been hanging upside down for hours. Unbelievable. So again, not days, but it's a long time. It's a long time. It's perspective, isn't it?

Yeah. You're like, they're just going to go get mum and get back. How long is that going to take? 10 minutes there, 10 minutes back. Chuck in a Dragon Ball Z, probably a bag of farm-baked biscuits. Yeah. Two litres of milk. You're just picturing your childhood, aren't you?

Exactly. What I got home. Had a friend and her son went on a bushwalk near their house in Waitomo. Eight hours later, it was dark. Search and rescue and police were searching for over two hours. We found them down the side of a gully. They had to get winched out. Another story of a winch.

I hope that makes me think I can end a winch. Yeah. Had we not found them, they would have been there for days because the search was on a complete other end. Wow. My dad used to be a cop and he had his gear at home. I was about five and I handcuffed my arm to my leg. And he said, I don't have the key.

So we had to wait for what felt like an eternity for his workmate to finish a very long shift and then come over with a key to unlock me. In hindsight, he probably had the key. He just wanted to teach me a lesson and not playing with the cops. I was just about to say, what's the bet dad had the key anyway. We took ages to get rescued. I was on a school adventure trip when I was 13 years old. We got put into groups of four for an orienteering

excursion and I was placed with the naughty cool girls. Okay. We set off at 8.30am and one of the girls suggested we need to turn the map upside down. Now that was a bad start to orienteering. Naughty cool girls don't know how to orienteer. You're one of them with the nerds

when it comes to orienteering. Yeah, you do. Needless to say, we got very lost in the middle of a huge forest. I had't know how to orientate. You're one of them with the nerds when it comes to orienteering. Yeah, you do. Needless to say, we got very lost in the middle of a huge forest. I had no idea how to get out. We didn't get out until like well after the sunset. We were gone for apparently over 12 hours. I vividly remember all the girls singing 10 Green Bottles and I was just walking, bawling my eyes out, screaming

and they kept looking at me like I wasn't cool. No, you kind of weren't keeping your cool there, were you? No, you weren't. Absolute moment of need. Well, I think the impossible phone-in topic was not impossible. Not impossible. I mean, we didn't get a multi-day. No nine-dayers.

Yeah. But still some big rescues there. Yeah, lots of rescues. Oh, I'm busting for a wheeze after that podcast, I'll tell you. What? It's a podcast. You after that podcast. I'll tell you. It's a podcast. You are allowed to listen to it while you're wheeze. There's no rules on when and where you're allowed to listen to a podcast. It just says here I'm busting for a wheeze.

I read it. Okay? I read it. Give us a review. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Hayley.
