I'm just trying this new, Sade got a new porridge, sachets of porridge. And usually I just go for a plain creamy honey. Oh yeah. A big bowl, creamy honey. Yeah. Uncle Greg's? Uncle Greg's?

No, Uncle Toby's. Uncle Toby's, yeah. Who's Uncle, creamy honey. Yeah. Uncle Greg's? Uncle Greg's? No, Uncle Toby's. Uncle Toby's, yeah. Who's Uncle Greg? There's an Uncle Greg. And why has he penetrated my porridge knowledge? Is there an Uncle Greg? Greg's is the spice people. Yeah, they do the spices.

He's not an uncle, though. Yeah. He's an only child. Now, and there's, who got cancelled? Uncle Ben. Big Ben. Uncle Ben. No, Big Ben pies are A-OK because they're named after the club.

Uncle Ben was the rice. Yeah. Uncle Ben. Big Ben pies are A-OK because they're named after the club. Uncle Ben was the rice. Yeah. Uncle Toby's. Yeah. So far, so good. Isn't it just uncles now? No, it's just uncles. Not Uncle Toby's.

And there was the Aunt Jemima. Aunt Jemima's been ex-naked. But we didn't have that brand here, did we? That was an overseas brand. Familiar with it, though. But anyway, Uncle Toby's and the sachets of porridge. always go for a creamy honey yeah there's a new one on the market it's honey and banana oh no it's banana flavor now i always add banana to my porridge an actual banana an actual banana i slice up the banana so now i've got the mixing flavors of an

actual banana and what is banana flavoring? It tastes like dehydrated banana. And then when you cook it, it rehydrates. I can't do fake banana or anything apart from those lollies. Did you have it like medicine when you were younger? No, it's just too fake.

Same like fake strawberry and fake banana. I can't stand. You're like, I can't do fake banana apart from the lollies. The fakest of banana. But even then,

if I'm eating those in a mixture or a party mix, I begrudgingly eat those last. Yeah. Before or after the mint leaves? After. I'll go mint leaf before it. Over a banana. Bold. But anyway, I'm not sold

on this, but I will eat the rest of the box. Were they out of creamy honey? I don't know, but... You'll be having words tonight? No, you've got to balance your words, because I didn't shop, did I? No, you didn't. I could have stopped and got my own porridge. Yeah, yourself.

Yeah, but now I will stop and get my own porridge and be like, well, I had to get my own porridge because someone kept buying the weird flavours. And then that'll be a whole other thing. So, yeah. No, yuck. Smells a bit different, but it's edible. Okay, well, on with eating. Good morning, welcome to the show, Fletch, Warner, Megan.

I can't believe Queensland are denying us a bubble. Playing hard to get. Not like anybody from Queensland. I don't know. I have nothing to back that up. I was just making an assumption that that was a geographically promiscuous area. And, you know, looking back on it now, maybe I regret it.

Do they not want us to go to the Goldie and go to Movie World? We love that. What is happening with the likes of Movie World? What do you mean? Is it actually is it just locals i think it'll just be locals yeah right masks and screaming on a roller coaster with a mask yeah well yeah because they were actually asking um

i forget where it was japan and they were asking people not to scream yeah they could scream internally which really summed up the year quite well. If we could just stick to screaming internally, that'd be great. Yeah. Yeah, well. Well, well. Next on the show, Megan,

there's been another big trade me sale for a pot plant. Oh, yeah, okay. It's variegated. It's got to be variegated. You know, the multicoloured leaves, that's what makes most of them really expensive. Yeah, I think those are ugly. They look like they're

dying. Alright, we can delve into that next. The top six coming up. Sure is. You forget. You've forgotten, haven't you? Yeah. The elephants. Oh yeah. Auckland zoos. Unlike an elephant, which never forgets, I forgot. Really?

We were literally just talking about it 10 minutes ago. Yeah, but 10 minutes ago is a lifetime ago. In 2020. Yeah. Because so many things could change in 10 minutes. They went on the news last night. What? It could.

No. An asteroid could hit. The bloody world could end in 10 minutes. Yeah. Nuclear war, we'd all be toast. Anyway, back to elephants. They were so upset, they couldn't even, they didn't even want to be interviewed.

Not the elephants. The people who looked after the elephants. Like a zoo spokesperson spoke, but like the elephant keepers and stuff were so upset yesterday. Well, they're losing their babies. Yeah. Oh, that's sad.

And Jolly and Burma are going to be joining another family of elephants overseas. Auckland is losing its elephants. So I've got the top six other animals that could go in that enclosure. Because it's a big enclosure. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Another breaking record thing.

What do you call it? Record breaking. Record breaking plant sale on Trade Me. This one is the most expensive Monstera that's ever been sold on Trade Me. And it's gone for $6,551. That is nuts. Every time one of these happens, mum's like, oh, I've got a big Monstera in the

lounge. Should I sell it? This one is... It's older than me, this plant, because I remember this plant growing up when they were cool in the 80s. Yeah. Is it all green? Yeah, it's not like multicoloured. So, yeah, that's variegated. So this is a

Monstera Delicioso Alba Variegata, which just means it's a Monstera but it's multicolored. So yeah, that's variegated. So this is a Monstera deliciosa alba variegata, which just means it's a Monstera, but it's multicolored. It's green and white. Okay. It's quite big. It's a mature one. Monstera native to southern Mexico and south to Panama. It got introduced to other tropical areas

and has become mildly invasive in some of them, such as Hawaii. Because, you know, those massive outdoor monsteras, they just grow and grow and grow and smother everything. Yeah. Oh, right. Okay. But, yeah, this is... But in your house, they're cute.

Yeah. Yeah. This is a record for a monstera, but it's not the most that a plant is sold for on Trade Me. Variegated. They're always variegated, multicoloured. It must be special. I googled it.

It's genetic in the plant. So do you breed two different plants to make them variegated or is it like a... I don't know. Like that skin thing that Michael Jackson had. Vitiligo. Yeah, vitiligo. Because that's what it looks like.

It does say it's genetic, but you can't always propagate it because it's not always stable. So that's why it's so expensive, because it's rare. You can propagate those if you buy it. No. It's not always stable. So you might try, but it might not work. So you might just get a full green one.

Yeah. Oh. Did you know they grow a fruit? Yeah. My mum told me that. Doesn't it look like a corn on the cob or something? Yeah, it does. So that's why it's called a Monstera Delicioso,

because it's about big fruit. Well, would you eat it? You can eat it. The smell is compared to a combination of pineapples and bananas. And the fruit is edible and safe for humans. Now I must try it. Has your mum's one ever fruited? No, because it's got to be the right.

It's like a banana tree in New Zealand. The bananas don't grow big like they do, and they've got to be in that belt. In the tropics. So the record was set by a variegated minima that sold for $8,150 in August. And like you say, if you're not guaranteed to be able to take cuttings from this and for them to work, why would you pay that much?

I guess some of them will work, so you'll end up making more money. You can buy a decent car on Trade Me for those prices. I know. Oh, yeah. A house plant's cool, but it's just sitting there. Yeah, and if it's sitting in my house, I'll kill it. Yeah. It'll be a very expensive brown dead plant, won't it?

But you can make money off it if you know what you're doing. I guess that's the... I do have a variegated plant. It'll be the one that everyone's like, oh no, that's not worth anything though. But maybe I should get someone to price it. I could put some drops of bleach on my fig, fit all my fig and see if

anybody will pay for that. Variegated. Yeah, variegated. Vaughan, you've just bleached that, haven't you? What? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. I'm just trying to work out how many police cars are in New Zealand. If you open the hero... Does it say exactly how many?

It's got one of those little infographics. Because I'm reading the... Oh, whereabouts is this? Because I'm reading the online version. Does it not have a lovely infographic? No, there's no lovely infographic there, but it said that so they're getting the new vehicles because they've stopped making hold-ins

and they have opted for a Skoda. A Skoda. Skoda. Which were the butt of jokes for a skoda. A skoda. Skoda. Which were the butt of jokes for a while, weren't they? They were like... Skodas. But it was the same with like Hyundai's, Skoda's, Lada's.

What's that other? What's that one you've got? Ssangyong. Ssangyong, yeah. Megan's got a Ssangyong. I mean, we're still not there with the Mahindra or the Great Wall ute. You wouldn't dare turn up to a trade site of bloody Mahindra

or a bloody Great Wall, would you? People do. I know that thing's got four wheels, but do all four of them drive? That sort of hilarious banter. But they've worked their way, I guess if you just look around long enough, you've got to work out how to make a good car, right? But you see lots of Skodas now because they've got the little badge of the bird thing.

Yeah, well, and as you said, Holden aren't making Holdens anymore. No, so they needed to replace the police force cars. But that's what it said. This is why I wanted to know how many police cars we've got in New Zealand. It said, Prime 1 patrol vehicles in the existing fleet will be replaced when they've reached the end of their useful life. And that happens at the rate of around 400 per year. Wow, okay.

That's how many... So they're retiring more than a police car a day. Wow. Yeah, but you think about it, there's so many of them. Well, did you read it? Well, where the bloody hell is it? You went past it. I didn't see any sexy infographic.

The blue. Police have 2,000 response vehicles in their national fleet. That's not a sexy infographic. You had me imagining... I said it was sexy infographic. You had me imagining. I said it was an infographic. I didn't say sexy. Megan, that's not even an infographic. It's just stats.

It's a bold font. You should have said they've got numbers written in a bold blue font. My eyes are trained for an infographic. Are they? That's how I absorb information. Through like a diagram as such. I was looking specifically for a sexy one.

Stats with boobies. Yeah, like the cars had boobs. Yeah, right, okay. It was like when they tried to make the female Transformers and they gave them like breastplates and stuff and you're like, but they're robots. They don't need breasts.

What are their breasts for? Nursing the young robots? I was very confused at that stage of Transformers. Got very hard to follow. So these are going to be station wagons. Yes. Because that's the ones that work best. And you might be thinking, why aren't they electric or hybrid? Apparently just through the rigorous testing that the police tried all sorts of different cars,

they just felt, well, electric. Imagine chasing a criminal. Yeah. And then you get conked out in the middle of nowhere because your electric cars run out during a police chase. Yeah. Yeah, we're not quite there yet, are we? No, we're not quite. But they did say those are more economical than what they've had.

They did. Less of a carbon footprint as well. They could be reducing them by up to like 30 odd percent. And they do a lot of emergency vehicles all over the world. A lot of European and... Skoda. Yeah, police forces and ambulances use... And they do the trick.

Skodas, yeah. Yeah, so there's two different ones. One's just a two-wheel drive. What did it say? 176 bloody kilowatts of power, mate? 162. I don't know what that means. 162 kilowatts of power.

And then there's one with 206 kilowatts of power, and that's a four-wheel drive. Right, because, you know, Morgan, who we have on the show sometimes, sexologist Morgan, she's got a little Fabia, Skoda Fabia, the little red one. Does she love it? They look like minis.

That's old, though, isn't it? Oh, wait. No, they still make them. They still make them. It's like, I don't know, her one's obviously not new, but she loves it. And I've gone, well, we've gone on road trips and it's a good car. Yeah, but I think once you buy a Skoda, you have to be all in.

Oh, right, okay. You can't doubt. It's just a car, mate. You can't doubt your car, though. It's all good. But she's excited because she thinks now she's got a police car. So tired of the news yesterday. No.

Well, no, you wouldn't be able to fit a big crim in the back of a Fabia. You'd hardly get one gang member in the back. We've got a massive gang to take in. Okay, you guys all wait here, okay? We'll go back. We'll drop one of you off at a time. Let's cuff them to the lamppost and come back and make some runs. Yeah.

Black Friday is tomorrow, and a lot of the Black Friday deals have already started. But if you're going to really get yourself a bargain, you need to put some work into it. You need to pay attention because it's kind of known and it's not really a scam, but a lot of Black Friday sales, the prices of the original item go up the week before. It might even be the month before. Yeah. Because I remember this happening last year and people were like, hang on a sec, I did not get a bargain.

So you need to go to Price Buy or any other similar websites that show the products in comparison and the history of the price. Because I always make a list of things that I want in the lead up to Black Friday and I keep an eye on the prices. Right, because you've started your Christmas shopping. Yeah. And then you can see, okay, well, that's not actually a bargain. Like, they've hyped the price and then they've brought the sale price. They looked at some certain things last year and found that they might have been saying this is 30% off

or 20% off, but they had in fact put the price up 30% in the month before. Yeah. So the products that typically go up in price around Black Friday are more gadgets and electronics and

tech items. Tech items. So if you haven't been paying attention beforehand, you need to use one of these websites to make sure that you're not basically paying full price. Yeah. But mobile phones as well were one of the big items on Black Friday

lists last year. And they offered the smallest discount around 2%, but people believed that they were getting a bargain. So, yeah, just you got to pay attention. Do your research. Do your research. Yeah, price buy is really good.

Price buy is good. Kind of use that, eh, New Zealand website? Because I save everything to wish lists beforehand, and then you get a good idea and you can go back and see. What does it show you, the price you saved it at? No, but it'll show you back, you know, when you're making the list

what price. It's not going to help you now, I guess. You need this. This information should have been out months ago. Weeks ago, Megan. Well, this is why Megan's

helping you with your shoe purchase because you want your shoes. I know, producer. I just want exactly the same pair that I've got right now. That's all I want. Yeah, but you bought them like two years ago. I know. Why did they stop making want exactly the same pair that I've got right now. That's all I want. Yeah, but you bought them like two years ago. I know. Why did they stop making

them exactly the same? So they have to buy new ones. Bullshit to that. I just want exactly the same. This is why I should have bought three pairs at the time. But then I didn't know I was going to like them because it was the first time I'd owned these shoes. Producer, Aunty wants a fancy shampoo. What do you want?

What do you want? Some Pantene, love. I can show you where that is in the supermarket.. What do you want? What do you want? Some Pantene, love? I can show you where that is in the supermarket. What shampoo do you want? It's called Olaplex. Olaplex? What does this do? I don't know. It's sort of witchcraft.

It's called bond strengthening. I don't know what that means, but I believe it's good. Sounds like bullshit. Sounds like collagen powder. And for people who have coloured hair, it doesn't interfere with your colouring. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep, sounds bloody good.

Do you want to go? Yep, no idea. My hairdresser was like, yep, it's good. Is it going to be on special, do you think, because of Black Friday? I'm hoping so, yeah. But a couple of my usual reliable spots have already sold out of it. So that's why I said to my girls, I'm on the hunt for a little 25% off. I found it for 25%.

Did your hairdresser just say that it was good because they had it for sale and they were making a good markup on it at the time? But you were like, oh yeah, okay, maybe next time.

But then you just go away and try to find it somewhere cheaper? Is that exactly what happened? Yeah, maybe. No, it's a good time. It's a good time. I've used it before.

It's great stuff. It's just shampoo, isn't it? It just feels soft, eh? You guys should try head and shoulders because you only have to put one thing in. Oh, so you're saying I've got dandruff?

You won't if you've got Head & Shoulders. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah, blah. This is the Top Six. That's good stuff. That should just be the intro every day. Yeah, I like that.

I like that. Sums it up, really, doesn't it? It does. It does. Auckland Zoo has had to make a heartbreaking decision. Two female elephants are going to be rehomed overseas. Burma and Anjali have both been at the zoo for quite a while. And they've been trying to build a sustainable elephant family herd.

But it's been very challenging. And due to the fact that there's no bull elephants in New Zealand, it makes it difficult to impregnate Anjali. So they are sadly going to be moved on. Apparently COVID-19, this hasn't helped. No. Just with travel being so much harder, et cetera, et cetera. So after, man, well, Burma arrived at the zoo in 1990,

so 30 years ago. Yeah, I was going to say, Burma's been there forever. Burma was there with Cashin, right? And Burma will never forget. What? That they've been here. Anything. Anything, because elephants don't forget.

Burma will always fondly remember her time in Auckland, but a heartbreaking decision. never forget what? That they've been here. Anything. Anything. Because elephants don't forget. fondly remember her time in Auckland. But a heartbreaking decision. They couldn't even go on the news last night. They said they were too upset to talk. A spokesperson at TV

was struggling. Yeah. So, we've got this massive enclosure now with them saying kakite ano to New Zealand.

So, I've got the top six animals that we can put in the elephant enclosure instead. Okay. Our number six, a group of women who are coming back on the ferry from Waiheke Island Hen's Party. I'd actually pay to watch that.

They carry on like wild animals. They do, yeah. Absolute creatures. Yeah. And I think we'd probably have to make the walls a little bit higher and really juice up that electricity to deter them from climbing.

You could just pour Chardonnay in the trough as well. You could actually. That's their preferred hydration from their natural environment. Number five on the list of the top six animals to go in the elephant enclosure. Drunk old men who are about to get political by saying, I want to get political, but... And they're about to get real political. Jeez, they...

Just as long as everybody's at a safe distance from the spit that comes out of their mouth when they start to talk and the often racist rhetoric that is also violently spewing forth. We'll need a Perspex screen for that. That's actually a good idea. Yeah.

Because you want to see them up close, but you don't want to hear them all spat on, really, do you? Number four on the list of the top six animals to go in the elephant enclosure. Any regional rugby team after they won their local competition. Yeah. Yes. Feral, feral beasts.

They might look calm and relaxed, but they'll pounce at any moment. Wildly unpredictable. Yeah. Wildly unpredictable. Number three on the list of the top six animals to go in the elephant enclosure are your mum's recently divorced friend who started fake tanning, F45ing and drinking a lot more than usual. She's a creature to watch.

There you come. Spends a lot of time asleep in the sun. Yeah. Asleep or passed out, one of the two. But, you know, looking good with all that F45 a naturally strong creature need a big fence though well especially if she can pounce

yeah they can, big pounces big pounces, need some of that you know they put it around power lines to stop possums climbing it, that silver stuff that you can't get a good grip on her acrylics won't connect. She'll fall into the moat. We'll be safe.

She'll be trying. I don't know, you wouldn't want the moat. They're not supposed to get wet. Are they? Okay. Number two on the list of the top six animals

to go into the elephant enclosure with the leaving of the two elephants currently? Are there any Otago University students that actively want to live on Castle Street for another year? Okay. That shows that they've got a real wild streak. Yeah. Possibly a little too wild.

Yep. We might need sedation on hand for them. And no couches, please, in the area because they have a natural combustion rate around these people. And number one on the list of the top six animals to go in the elephant enclosure with the loss of the elephants at Auckland Zoo are those people with blurred faces on Police 10-7,

Motorway Patrol, and any other show that follows around the emergency services. That'd be great. Yeah, you'd be like, oh, is that the blurred face from Police 107? They all look a little bit the same. I don't mean to sound like that, but that blurred face, people all look the same to me. Oh, no, that's not that one on Police 107, because this one we're looking at now, her titty's hanging out. That's why they blurred her face,

because her breast's fallen out the side of her singlet. That's why. The one we saw on the Police 10-7, his pants were halfway down around his ass. That's why his face was blurred. This is a different one, but I'm excited to watch. That is today's top six. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast, ZM.

And Squitland. Squitland. It's a ZM. In Scotland. Scotland. They've, um... It's a terrible accent. I would stop. Jesus. Scotland. No, someone decks in good accents

and then put the Scottish flag. The St. George flag. Oh, okay. Well, no, I feel like your accent album was what they were doing. So you've got to go... You go Shrek. So he was Scottish.

Yep. And Sean James Bond was? Sean Connery. Sean Connery, Scottish. Yeah, he was Scottish, wasn't he? Fat Bastion of Oslo Powers movies, which was another Mike Myers. He did Shrek and Fat Bastion. That oats ad.

That's not how you meet porridge. That's not how you meet porridge. Mrs. Doubtfire? Hello, dear. Was she Scottish? No, she was just British, I think. Oh, right, okay. Or Irish?

No, I don't. I don't know. Is our accountant Scottish? She is, isn't she? She sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire. She is. Oh, my God. We've got the same account.

She rings, she's like, hello, dear. And you're like, oh, Robert. Mrs. Doubtfire. I've got the same account. She rings, she's like, hello, dear. And you're like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh, Robert. This is dapper. I've got terrible news. The IRD are going to arrest you. Oh, well. At least it was delivered in this lovely little Scottish voice. I don't think the IRD can arrest you.

The IRD want your scalp, dear. You've not been paying your taxes, have you? Well, in Scotland, they have unanimously passed in Parliament that the, what do you call them, feminine hygiene products will be free for those who need it. So in schools, unis and government organisations, they'll be free. Wow, okay, that's great. But what if you're not at school, a government organisation or a uni?

Could you go somewhere to get them? Get someone to bring some home from a school, government or uni for you? Wait outside of school and ask for some? Government, that's like libraries. Yeah, that's actually, yeah, that's actually... Government institutions where they would be freely available. And I don't think the librarians get a special toilet. No. Not the last few libraries I've been to.

So if you go to a government organisation... Have you seen some staff members in the toilet and you've thought they don't have their own toilet? No, I was in the library. I need to go to the toilet. And I said, excuse me, do you have a toilet? And she said, oh, we just use the one out there. So that's how I knew that they don't have a special toilet.

It was like in the public area. Right. So then they would have to, wouldn't they? It's the first country in the world to do it and address period poverty. Good on them. Has this angered some old white men? When I was reading about it yesterday

it was old white women. I could not believe it. Someone was like, oh, these are an essential. You've got to learn to budget for them. People need to have some self-respect. From this woman, I was like, are you kidding me? Really? Just because you're done with menstruating,

it doesn't mean that I'm done with it. I had to pay for it. Yeah. That drives me nuts, that attitude. It's like, you know, making uni free. I pay for it. Yeah, but wouldn't you be that attitude. It's like, you know, making uni free. I don't pay for it. Yeah, but wouldn't you be better off

if you hadn't had to? Yeah, true. Can't you see that that's slightly disadvantaged? And there's people not going to school because of period poverty.

You hear about this, don't you? And there was the argument that there's a lot of other things that kids need, like, you know, essentials,

like they might need glasses or something, but they don't get those for free. But this affects half the population and it's a natural thing that you can't avoid and it can hinder like going to school and going to work.

So I mean Good on them. I might be sound a little bit like a bloody lefty pinky bloody communist over here but I reckon if there's a kid that can't afford glasses that needs glasses, then they should probably have glasses for free as well. Yeah. Well, yeah, first in the world, so congratulations to Scotland.

Hey! Oh, hey, the news. ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Audio Ninja Warrior. Well, it's just like the TV show Ninja Warrior, but it's Audio Ninja Warrior. You must make your way through the Audio Ninja Warrior course making sound effects.

So we want you to register your side hustle, your side business. We started this the first season after the first lockdown because a lot of people, I guess, were stuck at home and maybe a lot of people as well out of hours and out of jobs. Yeah. So decided, hey, may as well try this idea I've always had for a business. And Season 2 is back. And it's all thanks to Vodafone Business. $5,000 is the prize.

You register at ZM Online. And we've already had so many entries. Season 1 was insane. Couldn't get through all of those entries. Yeah. So even if you ended in Season 1, gosh, enter again. Yeah, do it. Yeah, so even if you ended in Season 1, gosh, enter again. Yeah, do it. There were so many. We've picked out another couple of entries,

competitors for the Fishy Tank. First to enter the Fishy Tank is... Georgia. Good morning, Georgia. Good morning. Alright, so, I mean, it's like the Shark Tank, the TV show, but it's smaller and it's more fun. Far less intimidating,

and we don't want a percentage of your business. No. Because that's what they do. It's a small percentage, right? That's what they do on that show. Yeah, they negotiate a percent. Yeah, they give them an amount of money and they want something out of it.

What's an investor? Well, maybe we're missing a trick here. Maybe we should be giving $5,000 of shares in their company away. To who? It just sounds like hard work. I just all of who? It just sounds like hard work. I just all of a sudden thought that sounds like hard work. Divvy up the shares.

But at least we get to talk to the accountant. It sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire. Georgia, we're going to give you 30 seconds now to give us your pitch for your side hustle. Your time starts now. Hi, I'm Georgia from A Bite to Treat Gift Boxes. If there is anything good to come out of this year, 2020 has shown us how many amazing products are made right here in New Zealand.

I want to send them something nice. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Okay. And you started that this year? I started this in first lockdown. Wow.

Okay, cool. And how's it been going so far? It's been pretty slow to start with, but that's understandable with COVID and whatnot. But yeah, I'm gearing up for Christmas and Black Friday at the moment. Oh, okay. And so do you have a website? We have a website. Okay, what's that? How do people find you?

www.bytetreat.co.nz You can also find me on Facebook and Insta. Nice. Hey, well, you are in the running, Georgia. Thank you. Woohoo! Thank you. Emma, good morning, Emma. What's your side hustle, Emma? We'll give you 30 seconds. Your time starts now.

OK. Hi, guys. I'm Emma from Go Fetch Dog Adventures. What I do is we take out four to five dogs in our fully customised crated van and we take them on awesome adventures around our forestry track, beaches, anywhere they want to go. We get them out off leash as long as they're trained and give them an awesome time.

I also have an online dog shop and I do dog first aid as well where we help owners learn what they need to know when they're getting a puppy, in case your dog get hurt. Aww. Wow, oh my God. Do you teach owners how to do the dog Heimlich maneuver?

Yeah, I do actually. How do you do that? Well, it depends on the size of your dog. If it's a small dog, you can do it kind of upside down, holding them, but if it's a big dog, you want them on kind of upside down, holding them, but if it's a big dog, you want them on their side. That's actually a big, wow.

What was your area of study? What have you done to get into this area? Well, luckily when you get into kind of dog walking, you don't need to actually have anything, but I am studying my diploma in canine behaviour. I've done a certificate in animal care. I have my own first day certificate, of course. And yeah, I want to do more studies

so that I can help dogs be the best socially that they can be because it just helps them so much when they're out and about with their owners if they're well socialised and well behaved. Wow, that's cool. Oh, that's awesome. You're like an adventure dog walker. Yeah, that's exactly it

Yep, five dogs in a pack And we have an awesome time Are you worried that you're going to lose Someone's pride and joy In a forestry block? Definitely Did I say that on there? I like the honesty

Because I would be But no, that's cool Go to the SPCA You're like, I need the one that you've got That looks the most like this That looks like this I take this recall so, so much I do whistle training and everything with them Go to the SPCA you're like I need the one that you've got that looks the most like this. That looks like this. I take this recall so so much.

I do whistle training and everything with them and I do have one that I'm training at the moment. She's on long line most of the time because she's just loved going in every little nook and cranny. So yeah, it takes a lot of work, but it's fun. Wow, that's cool. And so how can people find Go Fetch? Um, so I have a website. Oh, we've lost Emma. Oh, no. She's telling us the goods.

Oh, no. She's probably in that forestry block. There's not good reception out there. No, there's a 5G tower right in the middle of it. That should be flawless. Well, Emma, GoFetch there. GoFetchDogAdventures I have found on Facebook. Yep.

And in the running, Emma, for our main prize, it's backed by Vodafone Business, $5,000 and of course a Vaughan Smith written jingle, which is probably the big prize that media...

Don't laugh, Megan. Should we be underselling it and maybe over-delivering? I'm on the GoFetch Dog Adventure Facebook page. She takes a cracking photo of your dog out there as well. Oh, because that's what we actually want. Exactly. You need to pick your dog for the gram. Kia ora.

Brought to you by the Spinoff Podcast Network in partnership with Sparklab. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Last night when I was putting the girls to bed, classic delay tactics. They wanted to tell me about stuff that they could totally have told me earlier in the day. I remember doing that as a kid. Yeah. Because you

wanted to say it for as late as you could. Yeah. And you'd make a big song and dance about it. Yeah, you're like, not now, not now, not now. Just go to sleep, just go to sleep. And then you walk away

and you feel really bad because you're like, one day they're not going to want to talk to me at bedtime. And so you go back in and I always sulk back in and I'm always like,

alright, what did that kid do today then? Well, last night it was, did you know so-and-so can make himself burp? Is this a cat at school? Yeah. Okay.

I can't even remember his name. Are you? Because I'm always jealous of people that can do that. So the girls didn't know, but I am a super burper. I can do that too, but I haven't done that for years. It's gross. You know those people that could get a two-minute noodle all the way up their nose and bring it out bring it out the other one yeah a string of spaghetti it was so much nicer to see that done with a string of spaghetti than

it was the first time i saw someone do it with a condom what because i was like people serious choking hazards if something goes awry yeah you're gonna be fishing out in the back of your throat trying to get that that's dangerous you've really got to hold one end of whatever you're doing before you. That's gross. Do it. So I did like a couple of little where you just go. Like. Oh, yeah.

Could you not have done that away from the microphone? I feel like I can smell that. I had no idea you could do that. So how long have we been friends and I've no idea you're a burper like that on demand we've obviously not been anywhere where i've really overdone it on the rich food and booze for a weekend because i get like a stomach colic almost like a baby and i need to be burped so i've got to force a whole lot of air down into myself so they were like oh wow and they were like laughing i said that's nothing and then i did i can do these ones. And I don't know, we probably haven't got time to just sit and listen to me pump air into my stomach for a minute.

No. But I can do ones where I literally just swallow air and air and air and air. And to the point where you can see my stomach has swollen up and it's all air. And then it sits for a bit. And then I'll just have to wait for it. And you're like, okay, here we go. And then you can go. Real upwards. And they were just like, losing their minds. okay here we go and then you can go uh

losing their minds that's the best thing you can do okay yeah i mean you built them a tree hut and their humble opinion well it was nothing compared to a 15 to 20 second burp but wow they were just like yeah you should come to school and show everyone he can do that i was like yeah okay that could be my career's day and his dad's here to talk about what he does i was like yeah talk on the radio but i can also do this just give it a minute kids and the really big ones oh god and so yeah they were like it's like your superpower i was like worst superpower ever yeah but um yeah i'll take it i'll take it because it was nice and everybody was like yay dad and i was like dad is better than mom and they were like don't know if we go that

far i'm like dad i'll beat her one day So I was wondering if anybody listening, if dads listening have a dad superpower or if you can remember your dad being able to do something when you were a kid and you were just like, whoa. Yeah. I haven't got any. I can't think of anything other than like he gives really good whacks. I don't think we're opening up the phone lines to those times dad gave you a hiding.

One swift whack that changed your opinion on something. My dad had this amazing ability to tell me he'll give me something to cry about when I was already crying, and then somehow he'd stop me crying by saying he'd give me something to cry about. That's an amazing ability. It was a magic game of psychology. So not those stories, but 0800DARZATM.

Give us a call. You can text her as well, 9696. What was your dad's greatest trick or superpower? Well, it's disgusting, but Vaughn can burp on command, and your kids love it. Oh, yeah, they love it. They think it's my greatest ability. Your superpower.

My greatest power. We want to know, growing up, your dad had a trick like this. Yeah. Something you just thought was incredible and amazing. We've had a few text messages about this trick that someone's dad can do. Someone said, my dad's really good at hide and seek. He started playing when I was four and we still haven't found him. Oh, my God. That's so hide and seek. He started playing when I was four and we still haven't found him.

Oh my god, that's so sad. But they're making the joke. So it's okay? So it's okay that we laugh with them. But at the same time... Game's over, dad! Come out, come out, wherever you are! Imagine if he is dead in the ceiling. Why did you go there

he went up there he's like I'll wait them out and then he because you know how stubborn dad's are and it gets very hot up there and then he overheated

so he fainted and then no and then you guys buggered off outside and everyone just thought he went to Melbourne

check the ceiling check all the usual the dad hiding places because when I'm like hide and seek I don't muck around I don't hide behind the curtains I go in the ceiling Check all the Usual The dad hiding places Because when I play hide and seek I don't muck around I don't hide behind the curtains I go in the ceiling space

Yeah Because I can get in there But he'd feel terrible If he was up there Oh my god You thought that smell Was a dead rat This is a fictitious situation

No one can be upset at this Unless it's real Unless someone's dad Is in the ceiling But then if you're like I'm upset because You said my dad Was is in the ceiling. But then if you're like, ah, I'm upset because you said my dad was dead in the ceiling and it turns out he was, then actually

no, you should be looking in a mirror, not at me today. That's been under your nose this whole time. I'm completely blameless. I don't feel bad at all. Who are you trying to convince? No one I owe to have guilt here.

So we want to know your dad's superhero skill. Maybe it's a talent that they've got. Vaughn, you can burp on demand. Your girls have just realised this and it's the best thing you've ever done. They love it. They said, well, you have to do that tomorrow night, but then I had a stomachache

for like a good 30 minutes. Yeah, I don't know if it's good for you. I don't know what the... It'd actually be great to do before a buffet. So it might stretch your stomach out. And then when you breathe the air out, the stomach's got a bit of extra room for, I don't know, a second helping.

Yeah. A bit more lemon chicken. Sarah, what's your dad's superpower? So my dad can get rid of hiccups. How? So when dad can get rid of hiccups. How? So when we were growing up, me and my sister would get the hiccups and we'd just, you know, get annoyed with them. And we'd walk into my dad and he'd be like, what are you doing?

And we're like, we've got the hiccups. And he's like, what hiccups? And then they'd just not be there anymore. Because then you're waiting to show someone and you're like, let's go. Was that the first time something happened? No, the first time he did this, like, the hiccups went away. And we were like, yeah, it was like, how did you do that? But it's like, Al at work, he's got this magic trick, but it only works once.

So I daren't say it. Yeah, it basically makes your brain think about something else. It confuses you and rewires it. Sarah, thanks. You're called James. You're a dad with a superpower. I am. Well, I don't know if it's a superpower being able to make the kid's mother gag,

but the kids themselves think it's impressive. You turn your eyelids inside out and then walk around like an idiot. I remember people doing that at school. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I can never get my eyelids to hold. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly it. But they love it.

And then you look up and flick them down and it makes their mother gag. Nathan, what was it? Thanks for your call, James. Nathan, what was your dad's superpower? It was where he could control his saliva glands underneath his tongue and he could, like, roll his tongue back to the top of his mouth and spit saliva out at you. I remember kids at school used to be able

to do this and I couldn't do it. They could make like a little spit trail. Like a little jet. You'd be at the table or whatever, if you said something snarky or silly, he'd just like spit this saliva across the table at you. Like that?

That's feral. How was his aim? It was pretty good. If you're about a metre away from you, he could get you. Oh, my God. That's feral. I'd land on your dinner. He wouldn't be doing that in 2020.

No. You got yourself a COVID risk. Yeah, very true. Nathan, thanks for your call. Caitlin, what's your dad's superpower? My dad's got, like, a metal plate in his face from, like, when he was a kid, he got tackled, and he used to stick fridge magnets on his face

when I was a kid. Dude, that's pretty cool. Magnetic dad. That's cool. Magnet dad. Wow. Yes, magnet dad. Magnet dad.

Is it bad for him to have... Yeah, I think he would get a headache, but I didn't really care too much. And it'd be worth it for the joy it brought the kids. That's all I cared about, yeah. I don't really care about a headache, but I didn't care too much. So if he was asleep,

you could like pop a little magnet on his head? Yeah, and he'd wake up like covered in them like a fridge, you know, maybe stick some of my artwork on there, you know, on your fridge. Oh my God, that's so good. Maybe stick some of my artwork on there, you know? Oh, my God, that's so funny. Thanks, you're cool, Caitlin. Some texts to finish up. My dad could wiggle his ears.

I used to make him show everybody. I have since inherited the superpower, and I'm weirdly proud of it. You can wiggle your... Like, there's people that can do their pecs. Yeah. And they go, do, do, do, do, do. Yeah, but they can't do that.

They do their ears. But it's weird because some people can do it and some people can't do it. My dad could take a block of wood and a chainsaw and make toys and everyone was always pretty amazed that they'd come around and watch him do it. So he just like was an absolute craftsman with a chainsaw. Okay.

My dad said he could always do a handstand on a skateboard. For years we didn't believe him until he got fed up and one day he actually proved it and he did a handstand on a skateboard. For years we didn't believe him until he got fed up and one day he actually proved it and he did a handstand on a skateboard. We asked him to do it now and he says, you've seen it once, you don't need to see it again. He's not sure he won't pass off next time. Might need a secret practice before he wheels that one out again. My dad could do the best Donald Duck voice.

I used to make him show everyone and even now I still love it and I'm 19. When we were little, Dad said he was the strongest Dad and he'd prove it by bench pressing us and we thought he was really strong but now I've worked out we didn't actually really weigh much. I remember asking him to do it when I was about 12 and he tried but he couldn't do it anymore.

My dad does wheelies on his bike. That's pretty cool when you're like, my dad can do wheelies on his bike. That's pretty cool when you're like, my dad can do wheelies. And everyone's like, no, he can't. And then you're like, do a wheelie, Dad. Yeah. Yeah. And then my dad can play bagpipes.

He learned when he was 15. During lockdown, he got a pair of bagpipes. And he woke us up every day with bagpipes. That's his sign of when this lockdown's over, I want you out of this house. We're joined in studio by a little segment, a little part of 660. Macho and Chris, hello.

I thought you were going to say we're joined in studio by this little New Zealand band. You might have heard of. Till the lights go out, it is a movie about you guys coming out. Yeah. Yeah, we've got a movie now. Movie stars now. Domination. Are you going for the New Zealand version of the EGOT,

Here's the thing. It's a year when not a lot of movies are coming out, so we may as well just go for the Oscar. Yeah, exactly. Like, you know, there's not that many movies. Yeah, I'm for it. It's better than Tenet, that's for sure. I haven't seen that yet.

Do you like Tenet? I loved it. I didn't see it. I can just tell you. I can just tell you. It's better than Tenet. I feel like I've seen a few movies now this year but our taste for

and this isn't a reflection on your movie but you go and see one and you're like any other time any other year this would be average but I loved it yeah right because it's just getting out of the house I'm just looking at your IMDb page I looked at it yesterday actually I was like yeah I finally got an IMDb page

I'm going to put some credits on there I finally got an IMDb page. I'm going to put some credits on there. Do you know what IMDb is? It's the internet movie database. Every time I sit down to watch a movie or a TV show, I have it open on my phone. Me too. Who's that guy? I'm on that app constantly.

No one else I know does that. I know. That's how I watch. But what about if you're searching for a movie, do you not Google it and see Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb rating? And if it's not good, I don't watch it. No, I don't look at the rating. I make my own mind up.

I'm not a sheep. I'm a sheeple. I'm a sheeple. You don't have a rating yet. No, it's not out, mate. Can you make one? Yeah, could you do it? Do you know how do I?

I've never done this before. Oh, fun. I've got a lot on. Let's give you a review. Because the one o'clock briefing during covert this year has its own imdb page and all the stars are listed yeah like tover and are you giving a review of the movie 660's movie well i can't figure out how to but i've not seen it oh but he knows it's great yeah but they're here i don't want to review five out of five

give a review why can't i give a review I'm a Maybe it knows Yeah look I'm logged in Maybe it knows You've never seen it Maybe that's why So Yeah true

What this Is a documentary About you guys When does the Footage start Like how far back Do we go Well right back

To the beginning Because Hoani Who was an original Member of the band He was While we were in Dunedin Was filming A reality program Called Scarfies.

Oh my God, I remember that. So they captured all this rugby playing. I remember that. Yeah. All of us playing rugby. They've actually got the induction into the 660 flat from the previous tenants. Oh, that's cool.

Wow. So it's amazing footage that we're very lucky to. I don't know how they thought about that we're going to make a movie in 2020, but they were back then didn't denita back in the day have its own local tv station and they did that walk yeah they did that that walk of shame segment i don't think you could get away with that these days but there's also it goes back as far as uh like baby photos and oh yeah and like primary school footage and that kind of thing. So if you want to see

some adorable bits of Munchie Walters. Who was the cutest baby? Yeah, who's the cutest kid? Come on. Munchie. I don't know. That was a good question.

We should have a line up. You guys can like vote or something. Oh, I know. Yeah. You can't vote on the cutest kid. You've got a great social media post

just waiting to happen there. That was a good one. Thank you for that. Go and see the movie where you'll see these babies, who's who and which is the cutest. Man, you've got good ideas. Ideas guy over here. Right.

Solving the world's problems from a slightly elevated office chair. So one hour 32, how do you fit like the last, what, 2000 and, I think we saw you backyard in Dunedin in 2009 at a No Week party. Julia Pana did an amazing job to fit it all in and for it to make sense, and it's really, she did a great, great job. And so we're proud that it's a good film, let alone the story about us and our journey. So I guess that was the biggest challenge actually make it quality yeah and then

and then she did a great job of capturing capturing the story and allow ups and downs and all that can be honest was there any like you got a watch before everyone else was there anyone that was like so many times at different stages of its creation and look we she she did most of the heavy lifting, but we were definitely on call to give our opinions and we didn't like something. Yeah. But at the same time, we let it happen, you know.

Yeah, right. We don't make films. Not so much of a story, but there was definitely a couple of shots of me that I got... Yeah. There would be me too. I was like, oh, that angle is just wrong. Yeah, I was like, can I have a wide shot of that

instead of a close up? That's so me. Blur me. Change the contrast. Do some magic tricks. Make it blurry. Get Peter goddamn Jackson on the phone.

We need some wetter digital. I need the skinny filter. Yeah, yeah. We need a bit of everything. Well, it's out today and you can go see it in the movies. Yeah, please do.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We had antenatal class last night and it was the first one where we've felt a little bit sick.

Have you watched on antenatal quickly before you tell us about antenatal? Have you seen Big Birthers? No, but that was brought up last night. That doesn't sound fun. That doesn't sound fun.

I couldn't believe. I was like, oh, perhaps in the running for the most inappropriately named or like, what? On the nose name. It's about a city in England where half the population are obese and they had to set up a special

birthing unit for morbidly obese women who are pregnant because the standard hospital wasn't big enough. What's with this town, though, that's so special? Is there, like, chocolate in the water? Maybe. Have they checked the water? Are they drinking water or are they drinking chocolate?

I don't know. It's one town in there. One city. Okay. Yeah, and when it was called, I saw the ad for it, and it was like, tonight on big birthers. I was like, yeah. Do you think people signed up for that show,

and then they saw the name? They're like, oh, rude. Oh, I know. I don't think they told them the name. Probably it was a last-minute change when they did the... When they see it promoted, you're like, excuse me. We're doing a really in-depth documentary. Yes.

About birthing. Yeah, in a city, you know, with these problems. Wow. What are you calling it? What are you calling the show? What? Oh, we don't have a title yet. Just sign here.

Yeah. So it was actually along those lines. We were learning about epidurals. Oh, yeah. I'm not good with needles. Oh, God, even just thinking about it, I feel like I'm going to fall off my chair. So she whipped out one to show us.

Why? I don't know. But the needle was thick. And if you're going to get one, you wouldn't see it because it's in your back. I saw the needle when Sade got it, and I was like, are you wishing you'd just got another dog now? And you know child-free travel, when travel becomes a thing again?

Oh, so good. Well, that show was actually brought up, The Big Birthers, because our antenatal class taker, she was saying, did anyone watch it? Because they actually need to use longer needles. They use needles sometimes up to twice the length. Oh, right, because there's more human to get through. And so

we're talking through all this. And do they show you the diagram of how the needle's got to go between the vertebrae and then just like, and then only the outer part of that excuse me, I'm eating mandarins. Stop. It doesn't look anything like a mandarins. I said I'm eating, man.

I'm eating. Don't go into those details. Oh, yuck. But, yeah, it was a very in-depth chat. Yeah. And I started to feel a little bit woozy. And I said to Andrew who's sitting beside me, I was like, oh, I don't feel good. My eyes are glazing up.

My eyes are glazing up. You know, your eyes go a bit glazy, and then your ears start to block. That's the one. That's the one. That's the ears. Two times I've fainted, it's been the hearing goes. And then you go. Everything just feels like it's suddenly a distance from you.

Yep. And so he was like, are you okay? Are you okay? Are you going to pass out? Do you need to lie down? And side was like, no, I'm going to breathe through. I'll be right. I'll be right.

And two minutes later, he puts his head down with his hands on his head, puts his head down. The brace position. Yeah. What, is he missing international travel that much? And he looks up at me and he was like, I think I'm going down. His face was greeny grey and I've never,

I thought he was going to vomit. Well, the epidural chat was too much for him. And he was like, I'm going to pass out. How's he going to handle the birth? Well, no, because everyone's like, oh, you're going to watch birthing videos. We've seen birthing videos. For some reason, it was just the chat about the epidural that just really hit us. Now, this isn't the first time I've said I've got like some kind of thing going on with me.

And then he experiences it. So he now believes he's got like, I think it's called Covade syndrome. So sympathy, a sympathy pregnancy. So he's like, I've never had heartburn in my life. But now he's getting heartburn really bad. That's not a thing. And I'm like, do you want some of my Gaviscon?

He's a very empathetic character. To you anyway. He puts up with your bullshit. He puts up with this. Which takes a lot of empathy. Does it? Would we say I'm the punisher of this trio? A big cup of patience.

Am I the punisher of this trio? And I'd say a bucket load of not knowing better. You can't see all the producers agreeing with me. Are the producers saying they'd love to go home and live with this 24-7? Absolutely. If you had to live with someone, it would be me. It would absolutely be Megan. Are you kidding me?

I'm personally insulted. You two, I would rather sleep on the pavement. Everyone thinks you two are cute and funny, but it's just a facade. Did you not see the horn that I bought earlier in the week? I've been making announcements all week at home with that. You'd love living in that. I've got 22 days to go.

So, yeah, and I said, well, you felt sick at the epidural check after I told you I was woozy. And I've never seen him faint. He's not that kind of person. So what's he going to be like in the birth told you I was woozy. And I've never seen him faint. I've never, he's not that kind of person. So what's he going to be like in the birth then? I don't know. He's going to go through the same thing. I was like, you need a chair and you need to hold on

because it's going to get real. What is it called? Cuvade syndrome. Or just sympathetic. You want to be careful how you say that in 2020 because some of them might think you've got COVID syndrome. Yeah. A sympathetic pregnancy, a proposed condition

in which an expectant father experiences some of the same symptoms and behaviours as the mother. I had a bit of this because I put on a lot of weight during Sade's two pregnancies. That's one of them too. And he's like, God, I'm just exhausted. I'm like, you're not even working. Or growing a human.

You want to go home and live with that still? Yeah. Oh, yeah? God. Do you want to? Yeah, because she's not doing it with a bloody horn. I am tired. Flesh, Fawn and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, of the day. Actually, Megan, this is right up your alley, this one. Okay. This is about babies in fetus. Fetus in... Utero.

In utero. That's the word I was looking for. That Nirvana album. Yeah, yeah looking for, that Nirvana album. They love that Nirvana album. When they're in utero, there's been a recent discovery that said that from week 16, they are able to detect sounds. Oh, God, they can hear you, Tim. Yeah, they can hear. From week 16, they can hear.

And they've worked this out by way of music transmitted. It caused the baby to move their mouth and tongue as if it was trying to sing or speak. Oh my god. However, have you done any of this? Put headphones on the belly and be like, this is daddy's

band, Titanium. No, Megan will be like this is mummy's band, Harry Styles. This is mummy's third husband. No, like, this is mummy's band, Harry Styles. This is mummy's third husband. Yeah, you're like, no, no, this is her. This is your stepdad, Harry Styles. It's important you get to know the voice.

However, so I remember doing this more. It was like we didn't do it regularly. Like you might like read a little book or like strap some headphones on and play like some relaxing songs. We've been doing it wrong. Because it turns out that the worm is so soundproof that the best way to get music to your baby is intravaginally. So settle up the Yui boom. Yui boom.

Very goofy. I said settle up. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, right. Sit on the Yui boom. So the people that did this research. saddle up. Oh, right, okay. Yeah, right. Sit on the Yui boom. So the people that did this research,

and this won a bloody Nobel Prize. This won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. The first time that someone in the field in obstetrics has won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 27 years. The MIT's Dr. Marissa Lopez-Tayhon invented a, she found this out and then, and thus invented a piece of technology that you can play music and other sounds such as a recorded story,

if you want, to your child intravaginally. Now, if I open up the definition of that, it means intravaginally means into the vagina. So the worm is too soundproof. If you're talking to them through here, the worm is, they're in here.

Exactly, it's like they're in a soundproof room and you're at the wall. So it's like. Probably not even that, if it's really soundproof. It's like you're at the drive-thru. And it's when someone opens the door, you can hear it. Yeah. It's like...

Here's a little song I wrote for you. But they can't hear that. Wow. Until it goes intra-vaginally. It's a sound emitted in a closed space. There's no sound dispersion

and the layers of soft tissue separating the fetus from the origin of the sound are fewer. We only have the uterine walls and the vaginal walls and therefore avoid absorption into the abdominal wall.

Abdominable, abominable wall. Okay, right. Who knew? So we need Tammy speakers. Correct. Earbuds, but the ones on the string. The entire string. Yeah, don't go old school earbuds, don't put the new ones up there. Although that would be nice to get them back.

They're like birth. Okay, we're starting a crown and I've got a couple of earbuds here. The batteries are flat but are those anybody's? What's the Bluetooth like? Because it hardly works out. Line of sight. Yeah, okay. Line of sight.

Okay. If your phone's in your pocket, it should work out. So today's fact of the day is that if you want to play your child music in utero, best do it intravaginally. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan,

the podcast. I got sent in a community notice and I thought it was so cute it needed, we needed to talk about it in its own right. Okay. Somebody put up in a community notice and I thought it was so cute. We needed to talk about it in its own right. Okay. Somebody put up on a community page saying,

anybody missing these two besties? They were in the road to the Onamana turn off, opened my car door and they both jumped in without hesitation. And the two besties are a farm dog and a sheep. That apparently are out on some sort of adventurous comical outing together. Oh, that's like a Disney movie. I can understand a dog jumping into a car, but a sheep?

Yeah. Maybe that's got to be a pet sheep. It's got to be a pet sheep. I wouldn't imagine a... And it looks brushed. It looks like it's been to a car... Like an ag day. Okay.

A sheep. It's my expert eye casting an eye over that sheep there. That's a well-loved sheep. So I don't know if it's been reunited with its owners or not, but how fantastically Kiwi. Oh, very Kiwi. But hard to explain in town why you might have a,

if you ever made it to a city, why you had a sheep in the car. It just jumped in, I swear. Yeah. And it got me to thinking about the weirdest things you've had in your car. Like when I had, there was a whole lot of hay bales here at work. Another radio station used them as props. And I said, what's happening to the hay bales? And they said, nothing, we've got to get rid of them.

I said, I'll take them. So then I squeezed seven hay bales into a Honda Accord. And I'm still finding hay. Yeah, I know. Every now and then I'll turn on the air con and a bit of hay will come out. But that took explaining. Like somebody stopped at the lights and they were like, what's in your car?

I was like, it's hay, dude. Why have you got hay in your car? I was like, because I don't have a ute. Fair call. What more of an explanation do you require? Yeah. We had a miniature pony in our car. Oh, that's right.

In our car. Yes, cargo, yeah. Yeah. That was in an effort to get it registered as a horse truck, which was significantly cheaper to get registered. It was a glaring loophole, but it was better, we thought, than attaching sirens and saying it was an ambulance.

Yeah. Which you can also do for cheaper registration. Yeah. Something to look into. An ambulance for little people because it was so small you couldn't have fit anybody above like 5'10 lying down anywhere in that car. So you'd like to open up the phone lines? Yeah, to the weirdest thing you've had in your car.

Maybe you've had to try to explain it to somebody. Okay. And it was a hard one to explain. So we want to know after a, actually there's some follow up on this. Last night you got sent this as a community notice. There was actually a TV story on this. Yeah, not sure what news covered it. Probably one of your

7pm current affairs shows. Graham and Charles were the names of the dog and the sheep that were just out wandering. And they jumped in the car. Yeah, they just jumped in a car and somebody said, do these belong to anybody?

Because they're very friendly. They just jumped in my car and I stopped to see why they were on the road. And so they were pets. The lamb was a pet and they've been reunited. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Graham's the sheep and Charles is the dog, in case anybody's wondering.

So we want to know the weirdest thing that you've had in your car. Leisha, what have you had in your car? So every day I take two goats to work with me. Their names are August and Winter. Why do you take them every day? So I'm a principal at a school in West Auckland and we decided 2020 was a pretty crappy year for most of us and we wanted something that would help our kids to come back to school, be an animal that they hadn't necessarily seen before and so we got August and Winter at five days old and they came home with us and we had the senior leadership team and I did

we called a COVID classroom during level three with our schedule workers so they those kids that were happy to be at school with us got to hang out with them while they were really tiny and then ever since then they've come to school every day. Okay, are you going to need to buy a van soon, Leisha? Because they get real big. Currently, they started coming to school with me in my Nissan Juke, which was okay when they were little. Yeah. Now my husband is threatening to potentially look at

having to buy a new car for himself because at the moment they're coming to work in his car. But we are thinking I might have to get a trailer because the kids are really, really activating and petitioning me for a Kuni Kuni pig now. Oh, my God. I love this. Which we're quite committed to getting

because when I grew up, you had lots of access to animals, lots of access to farms, but lots of our kids don't have that now, and so... See, I was imagining this was a rural school you're talking about, not a West Auckland school that's in the middle of a neighbourhood where the neighbours are like, I won't be having a bloody goat muscle man curry this weekend if that thing doesn't shut up.

Talking about the weirdest stuff you've had in your car after a kiwi pulled over and a sheep dog and a sheep jumped in. Just as they do. Out on an adventure. So we want to know what the weirdest thing you've had in your car is. I just love this text because it's short. My mum's had a few chickens in her Honda Odyssey.

It sounds like innuendo, eh? Yeah, it does. Mum's had a... You know my mum, she's had a few chickens in her under-oddnessy. Don't you call it that. How dare you? I, they say, for over a year, in brackets, have at least 100 stones or rocks in my car. Intentionally.

Why? I asked why. They haven't replied. Because that's bad for your fuel economy. Well, you're weighing it down. It's extra weight. And then also, if you slam on the brakes at 120.

They'll all come at you. They'll all come. They'll be still trampling. Get a rubber stone in the back of the head. Yeah. Somebody else said, I worked at Flight Centre and had a life-size fiberglass captain

at the front door. And when they said they were giving away to the captain, I said, I'll have him. And I piled him into my Honda Civic. But it was very stiff and not bendy. So half of him was hanging out the window. Some kids ran into the shop and said,

someone's stealing the flight centre captain. He lived in our flat for a long time. And he's got a brochure holder too. Yeah. To come in handy for... Oh, for like recipes, if you have enough hot luck. Yeah. Maybe what everybody can bring.

Anonymous, what did you have in your car? A live turkey. Why did you have in your car? A live turkey. Why did you have a turkey in there? Because I bought this car, and the previous owner of the car said the turkey has to come with it. That is not something that gets checked off on the Warren of Fitness paper.

I don't know if you actually have to have a turkey with a car. So what did you do with the turkey? Put it in my backyard and it ran away oh okay so there's some wild turkey out there somewhere i don't think so the neighbors probably ate it oh my god okay well at least it went somewhere it was used anonymous six you call rebecca what did you well what do you have in your car? Oh, I don't have it now. But when I was nine, so a good 23 years ago, we had to take our popper up to Whangarei.

And my popper had obviously passed away. So we had a coffin in the car. Oh. Did they let you do that? I guess they would. I didn't think it was a thing, but obviously that was the cheapest way. It sounds terrible.

What kind of car was it? Because possums aren't small. It was an old Ford Sierra station wagon. Oh, yeah, okay. Very roomy. Do you have to put seatbelts on, Pop? No, so if you just think about your

passenger seat, you put that down and he just laid beside you and yeah, in a road trip. I tell you what, you're not the only person. Lots of people messaging in that, yeah, because they had to transport it to a different part of New Zealand and it was the cheapest way of doing it. I guess if you're going to pay a hearse, they've got to charge you to drive it all the way up

and then they've got to charge for their time back. Yeah. It wouldn't be cheap. Yeah, the looks on people's faces on the motorway was like, oh my God. Brilliant. Rebecca, thanks for your call. Ask for more text to finish up.

My mum bought my daughter's miniature pony, which she was getting for a birthday present, to her birthday party in the back of her Toyota RAV4. Oh, okay. I think you'd be better with a Yaris, just because they're a bit lower to the ground. The RAV4 was always a bit of a... A bit higher, yeah.

...up into it. For my stag, doing my best man made me drive my car with four sex dolls sitting in the seat with their seatbelts on. It was a good laugh. Pulled up at the set of lights next to the church pastor. Oh. Probably. Got some questions after that.

The way you said Pastor there made it sound like pasta, like carbonara. You pulled up next to the church spaghetti bowl of nose. Yeah, lots of animals being transported, lots of dead bodies. Many, many dead bodies. That's nuts. I guess it just makes sense. You've got to get them there, right?
