Play! Women's Fleach, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fleach, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Grab any size McCafe coffee. For only $4, conditions apply. The Olympics continue. And look at this, the Olympics, the US Olympic swim team with an issue there. Can you, looking at that, can you see the issue there

with that woman's uniform? Ah, it's nappy? It's what? Is it a nappy? You see the issue there with that woman's uniform. Oh. It's nappy? It's what? Is it a nappy? It's very dark. It's dark blue around the crotch. The American flag's emblazoned over the whole thing.

The dark blue crotch makes it look like they wet themselves. That's the issue. It looks like a hyper-color reaction to warm urine. Yes. Did anybody ever wet their pants when hyper-our was a fad in the 90s for our younger podcast listeners? And you'd buy a T-shirt and, I don't know, I'm imagining whatever was in it was carcinogenic, but it would change colour.

Yeah, they're not around. I would have thought they would have made a comeback. Like tie-dye kind of made a comeback. Yeah. And it would change colour depending on your warmth. But then if you got hot under the armpits, you'd be wearing a purple shirt with a very pink. I don't remember that.

Like a mood sweatshirt. Like a mood T-shirt. Hypercolour, yeah. And you'd, like, put your hand on a friend's one for a while and then take it off and you could see the hand there. I mean, I can see now just saying that out loud why that would be problematic yeah that doesn't sound like it's made of anything good but then they they did bring out like whole hyper color track suits and stuff for a while

as well but i'm just thinking that um yeah if you wet your pants of course that would be a different but like when you're sitting down doesn't your bum get warm and then you get up and you go like yeah they've been actually researchers and um researchers are working on color changing fabric that's controlled by a smartphone. So you could be out, you're like, because you know I love a navy blue t-shirt. I could be like, I might go for a darker blue and just change it with my phone. And then I'm like, well, I might just go black. Go black, yeah. Or I might go yellow.

Oh, no. I do have a yellow t-shirt though. You look great in a yellow t-shirt. Thank you, but sometimes, you know, blue is more slimming. The same thing in hyper-color t-shirts was what made mood rings. Liquid crystal thermochromes were mood rings, and thermochromic leuco dyes were the dye equivalent. But why aren't they a thing now?

I don't know. Because they kind of did after a few washes. I remember them being way cooler than this, by the way. I'm just looking at photos. Basically, if you've got a purple one, it could go pink. If you've got a blue one, it could go just a different shade of blue. I remember them being multiple colours. Yeah, maybe they weren't as great as we imagined.

No, I think it's a little bit of nostalgia seeping in there. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thank you, Rachel. Two minutes past six. Good morning. Good morning. Today on the show, we're going to hear all about Vaughan's magnet fishing.

A wild adventure. A wild adventure from start to end. I picked how this was going to go, didn't I? You did. You did. Well, did you? I don't think anybody saw the first chapter of this story coming. A wild twist early in the plot.

Yeah, right. Or even later. We'll delve into Vaughan's magnet fishing after 8 o'clock on the show this morning. We do have a chance for you to win in studio. It's our super sticky grid with the super sticky post-it notes. Behind the post-it notes is cash.

So we'll give you the chance to call through before seven. Pick a grid and win some cash. Easy as that. The top six on the way. Yeah, there's a max vaccination event happening in, mass vaccination, sorry, event happening in Auckland this weekend. It's the first one. It's the first one.

And they, what they want to do, 16,000? Is that right? I believe so. It's going to be happening in Monaco and you're going to be able to get vaccinated. Well, you get your first vaccination and then you get your second vaccination. However, there are other events happening this weekend that you might confuse it with, so you need to be quite careful. So I've got the top six other events happening this weekend

that you don't want to get confused for the mass vaccination event. Right. Next on the show uh there is a uh consumer watchdog study which i'd like to talk about and i'm god i'm all for this okay this really irks me how expensive something is i've heard you whinge about this before oh i'm not the only one no i'm not the only one it's crazy cd ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Well, there has been a consumer watchdog study, and this is in the UK, but this is just the same here in New Zealand. Anybody that has ever printed at home or has a home printer and has had to purchase ink cartridges will know how expensive that is.

Yeah, they're very costly. It's ridiculous. And I always said it would be cheaper to buy a new printer because I think my printer was like 80 bucks, one of those cheap ones. But then I found out that the ink that they sell in new printers, the cartridges are like half full. That's so cheap.

A third. It's even less, isn't it? It's less. Less than nothing. It's to get you hooked. Yeah. It's that sales technique. What's the sales technique?

The first people to ever do it was disposable razor blades. Like they sell you the handle. Oh yeah, they're just as bad. The first ones are cheap

and then it's really expensive. It's the same with, it's this technique of invention and selling something cheap the first time round but then to keep using it is expensive.

Yeah. It's got a name. God, if only you knew that. I'll Google it. That would be much more impressive. It's definitely something to do with like a razor. Okay. Well, in the UK, the consumer watchdog,

which has looked into printer ink, they talked to thousands of consumers, and they found that 16 cheaper non-branded inks actually rated better for quality than the main brand inks from major retailers, manufacturers like Brother, Canon, Epsom and

HP. Although some printer, they have chips in them where you can only use their cartridges. Yeah, see that's, I thought that was the case. You could only use the ones. It's called the Razor and Blades model. Is it? The Razor, right.

Yeah, it's a business model which one item is sold at a low price or given away for free in order to increase sales of a complementary good such as consumable supplies. For example, inkjet printers require inkjet cartridges. So it's cheap. You buy the printer, it's cheap, but then... Oh, the ink. If you buy a three, what are the three colour and a black?

It'll cost you more than the printer costs you. I think we bought... It's nuts. A new black and colour recently, and I think all up, it was over $200 for the big ones. It's nuts, eh? And my father-in-law just bought an ink printer where there's like ink dams in it, like little tanks.

So if you run out of blue, but you've still got lots of yellow and red, you don't have to buy a whole new colour cartridge. You just buy a bottle of blue. Oh, right. Oh, that's amazing. Because I have to buy the individual colours. You do? Yeah.

There's four. Black. Oh, so they clip in individually. They clip in. Okay. So that's again better than ours because ours is just all in one. Same. Oh, so they clip in individually. Okay, so that's again better than... Because ours is just all in one. Same. Which is kind of wasteful. Well, they found that a set of inks for an Epson,

not Epsom, where David Seymour lives, costs the equivalent of a New Zealand $4,750 per litre. Costs the equivalent of $4,750 per litre. Costs the equivalent of $4,750 per litre. Wow. That could buy 2,850 bottles of branded beer. Wow. And that's running at more than, say, your expensive perfumes or expensive champagne per, like, mil.

Wow. What the hell? Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Yeah, because they're quoted here as saying printer ink shouldn't cost more than high-end champagne or Chanel No. 5. But it does significantly more.

It does way more. Why is that? Just because they can. Yeah, well, where else are you going to get it from? Yeah, right. Especially if, like you say, you've got cartridges that only work in that printer. Yeah.

So is that more than... See, this is why I just print everything at work for free. Yeah, God. You know, you just run it through the work printer. They think it's work. Yeah, and if you know the right people, you can get it printed at the marketing printer, which is the next step up. Oh, yeah.

I've never got to... How did you get to use a marketing printer? They have that thick stock paper, too. Thick stock paper. You can change what kind of print you have. The next level. Imagine how much cartridges are

for that. Oh, it bears our thinking about. This is exciting because often we talk about new yummy things in Australia. We haven't quite got it yet. This is exciting because often we talk about new yummy things in Australia. We haven't quite got it yet. This is coming to New Zealand. August 2nd is when you're going to see it in supermarkets,

but some dairies already have these. So Cookie Time are releasing a new cookie. It's not that bloody oat one they're giving you in New Zealand, is it? I like the oat one. Oh, you would. You one. Oh, you would. You would. Of course you would. Wouldn't she?

I like it too. Better than a chocolate chip. And a raisin. I mean, it's not better. No, it's not better, but I'll happily eat it. Because it's free. No, I've been saying no. I've been saying no.

I'm waiting for the chocolate chip to come back. Right. This is not a chocolate chip. It is the lolly cake cookie. So you know how you make lolly cake? Okay, okay. They're releasing their own version. It's a lolly cake cookie, like I said, in stores August 2nd.

They posted a picture. So it looks like a normal cookie time cookie, but instead of chocolate, it's got like lolly bits. See, that's, how's that going to go? Why didn't they just make a malty biscuit? Because that's what

lolly cake is. It's just malt biscuits, sweetened condensed milk and explorer lollies. It could be malty. It doesn't look particularly, you know, like brown like the lolly cake does.

Okay, well, I'll hold judgment. It could be a multi-flavored cookie. But yeah, like I said, it's not supposed to be in supermarkets till the 2nd of August, but some dairies already have them. Do they? They had them early. Right. Yeah.

Yeah, look, I'm not sure about this. Now you're looking at the picture. Yeah, because I'm looking at the picture. Contemplating and thinking, what would a cookie time taste like with just those lollies in it? See, people are excited about it. These quotes they're using in the news story are from people who are just salivating at the thought of lollicake.

They're actually engaged. Yeah, right. Yeah. I mean, I'll try it for sure. I don't think it'll be yuck. Right. Speaking of lollicake, I was actually talking to Carwin at the social media desk about this this morning.

There's a cafe at the airport in Christchurch that has a picture of a lolly slice. Yeah. And it's like real delicious. But the top of it, it has a pink icing. What? And I think there may be hundreds of thousands on it as well. No, I don't know how I feel about that. hundreds of thousands on it as well. No, I don't know how I feel about that.

And so I went into the cafe. They don't sell it. And I've looked twice. And apparently Car Wayne... Well, maybe it's so popular that they sell out very smartly. Well, Car Wayne, at the social media desk, you've actually asked this cafe at Christchurch Airport, and they didn't have it. Yeah, my friends and I needed to investigate.

It was early morning, and we decided we deserved one. And what did they say? Oh, we don't have any today. Sorry, we're sold out. See, I don't think they... No, I don't think they have any. What is it? Early morning.

Which cafe is it? It's on the ground floor at the end where you come down from the escalators when you land for the baggage, but then it's by all the check-in, at the end of all the check-ins. Whatever that's called. Oh, yeah, I know the one.

What time in the morning did you ask them for this? Oh, okay. I always look mid-hour. Is it a coffee called shoe? I don't remember, but you can't advertise such a delicious treat, but then not sell it. And I've never seen a lolly cake with icing ever. Revolutionary.

You know that we could probably easily make that. A lolly cake and chuck some icing on top. It couldn't be easier. It's better when someone else does it. You know, it's just what I'm saying. It's easier, isn't it? That's definitely what a lolly cake needs, is a bit more

sweetness of the icing. 100%. Like there's literally cans of sweetened condensed milk and lollies With biscuits Yeah look My bet is Coffee culture

Just looking at the map Yeah okay That sounds right Cause that's where Yeah my bet's on coffee culture You can't have a poster up Advertising something And then not make it

But I'm What if it is Such a well known Christchurch treat It's not That every morning they get there, it's not coffee culture? I don't know what it's called, but it's a, yeah. Were they a coffee club? I don't know. I don't know.

Well, anyway. Underground coffee. Now that's on the other side of the escalators. No, it's on the other side of the escalators. Has anyone texted in? I feel like. No, look, we'll get to the bottom of it. I'm at that airport now investigating.

So just wait. Okay. It's someone messaging. Somebody text messaged in. And that was a minute ago too, so I reckon... The poster outside has lots of treats on it. And the long cape with the icing is... Is it a generic poster or is it a poster of their goods?

Well, they don't take a picture every day of the cabinet, Megan. No, but I mean, like, is it just a generic... I think they took it on their... No, it of the cabinet, Megan. No, but I mean, like, is it just a generic... I think they took it off the... Stock image. No, it's not a stock image. It's their goodies. Oh, okay. What? Somebody messaged and I've had it. Oh, okay. Did they give any follow-up? Oh, no, not from there. Can't remember where, but it's not that great.

Ended up picking the icing off. What? Okay, because... Well, yeah, like I said, the whole thing is pretty sweet. It probably doesn't need icing. Yeah, what kind of icing, though? Yeah, I don't know. It's just pink and it'll just be icing sugar. Well, do keep us updated on that. But it's a serious issue here. We just got really in depth about it.

We've got something else planned for next, but I'm happy to drop it completely if we hear from this person who's at the Christchurch airport. With the lollicake with the icing. Yeah. Otherwise, for the lollicake biscuits from Cookie Time, August, what did you say? Second.

August 2nd. You're welcome. I mean, I definitely cry. God, no wonder. What did they say yesterday? We put on three million kgs in the last year. He's yelling.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. Just a follow-up. Re-lollicake. Lollicake. This is the picture at Christchurch Airport at the cafe with the lollicake

and the slice and it's got icing. Icing and hundreds and thousands. Revolutionary. Somebody said they were at the airport investigating. We haven't heard from them again. No, but they always have this picture outside, but they never have it inside. Right. Like, I've looked twice. Because it's on the way to

walk out, so I'm always, I'm going to be like, every time I'm in Crushage, I'm walking past to see if they have the lolly cake. Right. Right. Ooh, can you do a virtual tour? Somebody said I'd recommend

a virtual tour of the Christchurch airport. Some airports do that. No, no. They don't go into the cab. They don't go into the cab. If there's photos. It's not going to be live.

No, no, no. But I mean, if there's photos just so people can see this lolly cake you're describing there. Somebody else said, I've had it. Not from there, but I have had an iced lolly cake.

It wasn't great. Picked the icing off far too sweet. A couple of other people also said that. Said you think you need a sweater ice lolly cake too. You get one. Rolled in coconut is where it peaked. Yeah. Because I wonder if you need it, but I still want to try it.

I'll make my own judgment. I said it was coffeeaked. Yeah. Because I wonder if you need it, but I still want to try it. I'll make my own judgment. I said it was Coffee Culture. Yep. Somebody said, I worked at Coffee Culture at the airport. Yes, we did have it. It got such bad reviews, we changed it. Now, we rang to talk to them.

They're terrified. They can't speak. They've got a gag order. They've got a gag order. Coffee Culture gag order. They signed a Lollicake NDA. An NDA. It's an LC NDA. Yeah. Lollicake. They've got a gag order. They've got a gag order. Coffee culture gag order. They signed a lolly cake NDA. An NDA. It's an LC NDA.

Yeah. A lolly cake. They said, when you leave here, you shall never talk about the lolly cake. Yeah, but apparently the picture looks great. So what? Keep that up. Or just the price of having to get that redone. Oh, yeah.

Would probably put you off. But they did have it, but they've changed it due to... Yeah, so you're doing it. People at your shop must have thought it was going to taste like heaven, but then they didn't. But then the airport's the kind of place you're not getting the return customers. Are you? Just get them in there.

Well, no, you're going back. Make time to see if they've got the lollipop. We'll pass through. Only for that reason. Yeah. Exactly. Well, thank you for keeping us updated this morning. From the self-driving ZM Think tank, this is the top six.

I'm joking. I don't even know on what. I just breathed funny. I had a funny breath. The first max vaccination event in this country kicks off this weekend. The aim is to jab

more than 5,000 people each day. It's going to run from Friday to Sunday at the Vodafone Event Centre in Monaco in South Auckland. That's the one beside the motorway that looks like an upside-down canoe. Yes. With a bit of bracing on it. So you have to get an invite for this, right? Because I know they sent out a few invites, didn't they?

But they didn't get much response. But then they invited more people. Yes. And she's looking chocker now. So now more than 16,000 people are booked in to receive their vaccine at the event. Wow. Awesome. Yeah. So it was initially, as you said, initially geared towards

MIT, Monaco Institute of Technology staff, students, and whānau. And then only 3,000 of the 12,500 that got an invite made a booking. That's mad to me. Like, come on. Yeah, but then once that news got out,

booking started flowing in and more than 16,000 were now booked into the event. Ah, right, okay. So just needed a bit of publicity. But we can't go. You have to be part of, like, you have to be invited. Invited, yeah. And then you have to book, yeah.

242 vaccination booths in the same centre and 12 vaccinators working each day of the event, just walking by. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 12 vaccinators. Pa, pa, pa. Man. Is that all for six? They're working so hard.

That doesn't seem enough, eh? That doesn't seem like many. It's a busy day for them. That's got to be a typo because you can't have 12 people spread across 242 vaccination booths. No. Oh, well. I'm sure they've figured this out. Yeah, they'll have it.

They'll have it. If not. If not, it's a learning. It's a first one. Well, yeah, and it'll be a story for the Herald. Yeah. So I've got the top six other events happening this weekend that you don't want to get confused with the MassVax event.

Yeah, okay. Number three. No, sorry, number six. Well, I started number three. Number six is the MaxVax event. Yeah, okay. Number three, no, sorry, number six. Well, I started number three. Number six is the Max Vax event. Oh, yeah. That's the Max Vaseline event. That's this weekend.

That's a huge event. A lot of Vaseline. Yep. I've never been, but I've got my tickets. I'm really looking forward to this year's event. I assume there'll be,

you know, a range of activities that are wild vast. Yep. Slip while vast. Yep. Slip sliding around. Yep. Fully covered in Vaseline. Vaseline-ing only certain parts of the body.

It's max vast. Do you reckon if you went down a slip and slide and covered in vast... That's what I was just thinking. Do you think you'd actually go fast? You would because you'd sit on top of the water because it keeps the water out so you'd keep a film of water underneath you. I wouldn't have imagined there's water on the slip and slide. Oh, no, you'd need that. It's just vas.

So instead of, you know how they wouldn't let you block the water at the Hydra Slides? They'd be like, that's a no-no. Just put vas on your butt. Yeah. I reckon they should chuck some lube in the hand-mas Hydra Slides. That'd make for a fun time. Okay, well, I've just found a nine-and-a-half-minute YouTube video

called Insane Downhill Vaseline Slip and Slide, the slippiest slip and slide. The slippiest ever. That's a treat for a hydra. Oh, here is, look at this attractive young man being all bashed up in Vaseline. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah. Oh, he went on the grass.

No, you've got to have a... Do it again, I like his little scream. you've got to have a... Do it again. I like his little scream. You've got to have a landing pad at the bottom, otherwise you're going to hit the grass and mess yourself up. Can you please plug that in? Play his little scream. Oh, you want his little screaming in the start.

Okay, I have to rewind back because I went looking for the massive tubs of this. I need to watch this. This is him getting... Yeah, he didn getting back. Yeah. He didn't stop. Yeah, okay. Yowch. That's a grass wedgie.

If you've ever gone off the end of a homemade sliver and slid onto the grass and you've got the grass boon and the wedgie, that's what he just experienced. Okay, well, don't confuse those events this weekend. Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six other events happening this weekend, not to be confused with the max vaccination, is max vaccinations.

That's vaccinations for your Mac, your computer. Yeah, they don't get viruses as much as Windows, but you've really been pushing the limits of what you've been looking at lately, so it's best to get them vaccinated. Number four on the list of the top six other events happening this weekend that shouldn't be confused with the mass vaccination event is the mass vax event that is the massacre of vacuums. Oh, okay. Yeah, all old vacuum cleaners are being massacred for parts this weekend.

And that's a massive event. You can take your vacuum cleaner down and massacre it. Okay. And yeah, but not to be confused. Very different to getting vaccinated against COVID-19. You did six of these. Three more to go. Number three on the list of the top six other mass vax events.

Not to be confused with the max vaccination events. Yeah. Is the hotel conference this weekend about how they've all got massive vacancies. The mass vax event on how to fill those hotel rooms. Okay, yeah, good, good. Yeah, that's happening this weekend. Number two on the list of the top six other events happening this weekend,

not to be confused with the Max Vax event, is the Mass Vax event, the massage vases. These are new special vases used for massage. Oh, yeah, do you heat them up? You can massage. Oh, yeah. Do you heat them up? You can heat them up. Oh, yeah. Nice. And you can ring a bell.

You can give them a, give them a, like a healing bell and then rub them. She sounds lovely. Yeah. And number one on the list of the top six events, not to be confused with the mass vaccination event. Yeah. The mass vas event of mass vasectomies. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. The doctor is going for the world record of how many vasectomies. Oh, okay, yeah, right.

This is where a doctor is going for the world record of how many vasectomies he can do in one day. Well, don't rush that. I don't think that's something that should be rushed for a world record. All he's got to do, otherwise he won't beat the record. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, so if you're after a dodgy vaccine, a dodgy vasectomy, that's it. Yeah, right. That's the place to go. But if you're after a

non-dodgy vaccination, it's happening this weekend in Monaco. ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. A man in the States, I'm just Googling Florida to New York. This is, he's not flying. Yeah. But if he was to drive,

it would take him 17 hours and 44 minutes. If he was to walk, it's an astonishing 1,200 miles and it would take him 397 hours, but that's inland because it wasn't inland that he wanted to go. Okay. It was coastally. He built something that's effectively a Zorb inside a hamster wheel and then a paddle steamer thing on each side,

like, you know, the big paddle steamer wheels with flotation devices in them as well. And he was going to pedal, run, hamster wheel it, roll it from Florida to New York. Right. That was his plan. Yeah. But that didn't go to plan?

No. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. So in 20, and this isn't the first time either. In 2014, he built something kind of similar, and he ran. He tried to get to Bermuda. Oh, yeah. Which is not coastal.

That's a stretch of ocean you've got to cross there. Yeah. And he was 112 kilometres offshore when they found him at the time. He was disorientated. He didn't know which way he was supposed to be going. Oh, wow. It's because he's in a hamster wheel. He's going round and round.

And by the time the US Coast Guard rescued him, they said it was $140,000 worth of rescue. So he was told then in 2014, that was unsafe. You shouldn't have done it. He did it again in 2016. He was told then in 2014, that was unsafe. You shouldn't have done it. He did it again in 2016. He was told no. What happened in 20, how far did he get in 2016? He was intercepted because he got reported.

So the Coast Guard went in and grabbed him and said no. Okay. And then he's rebuilt and he thought rather than cross the ocean now, I'm going to run from Florida to New York. So he'd be by the coast at least. Yeah. Right. And the Coast Guard said,

you've got to have a spotter vessel with you if you're going to do this. Yeah. And he said, I can't because that would cost me $300 an hour. Oh, yeah. And they said, are you aware of how much it costs us to come and rescue you? Yeah. Now that's the taxpayer. And people don't like hearing about their stories about how their tax was wasted.

So he's been told in no uncertain terms, if you do this, you are going to get in big trouble. But he did it again. Yeah. But he didn't get fired.

No, no, no. So this time he, he washed ashore. He set off against their wishes. But they didn't need to rescue him. No, because he got washed ashore. He set off against their wishes. But they didn't need to rescue him. No, because he got washed ashore. Didn't the locals think he was an alien or something?

He was a UFO. Yeah, they thought a UFO would crash when they first saw it on the beach. It's a weird looking device. It is. It's like a hamster wheel that is absorbed. If you're familiar with the geographical shape of America, Florida's down the bottom, New York's more towards the top, so it would be north that he wanted to head.

Yeah. Well, unfavourable currents, a broken GPS system. He ended up 48 kilometres south of where he took off from. Backwards. Yeah. Oh, this poor guy just wants to do this. Yeah. He does.

He's done a bunch of stuff. He ran like, he's run across America. Okay. Successfully? Done all of these. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

He first entered America in 2002 seeking political asylum. He's like quite an eccentric sort of dude. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. He ran the perimeter of the United States, raising money for the children's hospital in Denver for 202 consecutive days.

He ran 18,000 kilometers. He's a good man. I don't want to take the piss out of him anymore. But do that again. Also, like how much? Yeah, how much? It doesn't work. Maybe the water's not for him.

No, I don't think. No, and tides. That's a good one.? Maybe the water's not for him. No, I don't think No, and tithes. The water's not for everybody. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Air New Zealand has apologised to For the oat cookies? No! For the non-flavoured

corn chip? Boring! Salted corn chip? Excuse me. I got those. I thought they'd be cheese nacho or something. Salsa flavoured. At the very least. Have they apologised for the nacho or the cookie? I'm fine with the cookie.

Not everyone... Anna doesn't know what we're talking about because she's Club Jetstar. They give you a cookie and a coffee. They give you a cookie. And they don't charge you for it. And they don't charge you for it. They don't have the little EFOS machine or the little wallet for the coins. All the while, your 23 kgs of luggage sits downstairs.

Do you get free water on Jetstar? If you ask for it, yes. Yeah, I think that's a human rights thing though, isn't it? But have you heard about the 20% discount you get on baggage in Club Jetstar, you know? Fascinating. I haven't, no. It'll buy itself. Tell me more.

Anyway, so they're not apologising for any of that. No, they've apologised to a customer who was told that her outfit was inappropriate and she needed to cover up. So this person was, this woman was returning to Auckland from the Cook Islands. It was warm there. Yep. So she was wearing two layered crop tops. I'd call it like maybe a crop top and then a singlet top over top.

And she was wearing high-waisted leggings, like gym pants. Yep. What's wrong with that? Yeah. Well, she was told that her outfit was inappropriate. She posted an angry response on Air New Zealand's Facebook page.

How much ankle was she showing? It is 1921 after all. How much what? Ankle. Oh, I thought you said anchor. I was like, what's an anchor? A tattoo. How much of the anchor could you see?

So she said nobody warned her about her outfit during the two hours wait for the plane. Or when she checked in. Or when she checked in, yeah. Which I get, that's a fair point. When you check in, they could say to you, maybe, like, could you put a t-shirt on or something? But she said no one said anything. It wasn't until she was boarding that they had a problem with her outfit. But I've definitely seen people fly in singlet tops, especially in summer.

Yeah. And she was coming from the Cook Islands. It was really hot. Yeah, maybe because she, yeah. Maybe in summer it doesn't stand out because more people are doing it. Yeah, right. I don't know. Also, maybe just someone was a little bit jealous that they haven't been to the Cook

Islands. And they haven't had to the Cook Islands. They've come out and apologised. They have apologised. Who told her to cover up? Was it some like old bird? You know, those real old birds that you're like, they must love dishing out coffee and tea and pushing the trolley. Yeah.

Because they're still doing it. You know, they've been doing it forever and a day. And do those outfits, do the Air New Zealand uniforms breathe? Because if you were wearing that in the Cook Islands, you'd be like. Oh, you'd be a bit sweaty. Yeah, would be. Sweaty bitty. But I'd love to know when you've been told off for what you're wearing in public. When has your outfit gotten you told off?

Maybe it's not so much inappropriate. It was just you weren't formal enough. Yeah. Like you went to an event and you got told off because you were wearing a singlet and shorts and jandals. Yeah, it could be that. That's Kiwi. I know.

How many times you're overseas and you're in bare feet and you look around and you're like, oh, they don't do this here. I forgot. Yeah, that was me in a supermarket overseas. Was it? People were looking at me like I was homeless and I was disgusting and I was like. I look at you like that when you do it here.

I know. Yeah, you're not a bare feet in the supermarket person at all. All right, well, 0800DALSATM, give us a call. You can text as well, 9696. When did you get told off for your outfit? We're talking about if you've ever been told off for what you're wearing. This is pretty classic Kiwi to just absolutely

underdress. Yeah, 100%. Rock up somewhere. I actually got told because have you been paying attention when we film it? The studio gets insanely warm unless the air conditioning's cranking. Yeah. And they're somewhat reluctant to freeze out the people who have come to watch the show.

Whereas I'm like, give them a blanket. Well, it's also they don't want to put on the air con because that costs the taxpayer at TVNZ. Hugely. You don't want the taxpayer seeing the air con, Bill. Yeah. And it's very loud. It's like, it's just an old, they haven't updated it since the 1950s.

Right. You pull it, start it. It's like a lawnmower. Yeah. But I, because, so I wear, I was wearing jandals and shorts at one stage And I was told I could not wear jandals You got told Yeah, because it's a close to a shoe On a set

We're not stacking crates Let her on, wear a jandal Yeah So in New Zealand I had to apologise to this woman She was wearing what she describes as two tank tops So like singlet top and high-waisted leggings, gym pants. Yeah, it's not like it was even like an athletic...

Crop top or... Yeah, a gym top. It wasn't like it was revealing. And she was coming from the Cook Islands. It's warm. Yeah. So when have you been told off for maybe being underdressed or for your outfit? Some beautiful text messages in. This one also from Rarotonga,

which is where we got the original story for today from. I was about to fly to Auckland from Raro bare feet. Not a word was mentioned until I got onto the tarmac due to aviation law it's frowned upon to stroll on a runway with naked feet. Oh, they say that. Tried buying any form of footwear. I think that's pretty legit.

Tried buying any form of footwear, but the shops were all shut. Long story short, I wore the tarmac manager's jandals to walk across the tarmac and up the steps, discarding them as soon as I could. Got passed down to them and then got wheelchair'd across Auckland's runway upon arrival to loophole the situation where feet never touched the ground. Wow.

That's nice that everyone helped. That is the most Kiwi slash Rarotongan story you'll ever hear. That is why we've got a travel bubble. Buddies. We're buddies. We're beautiful Pacific Island buddies. Kayla, when were you told off for what you were wearing? So I used to work in a Kiwiifruit packhouse and it was summer,

so we were packing avocados. Okay. Some of the older ladies there went to HR and told on me for wearing a singlet and shorts. Oh, but you were still wearing, your shoes were still, you were still wearing shoes, right? Yeah, I had sneakers, yeah,

but there were lots of other people wearing singlet and shorts because it used to get to like 30 degrees in the shed. We were a little bit of a distraction for some of the lads, whereas they weren't anymore and they didn't like that. That's what HR said, but luckily my manager pretty much said he'd go to HR. I don't know if HR is allowed to say that.

You know, the old girls are right, you're distracting the boys. It's your fault that they can't keep their eyes on the job. That's so bad. HR are always the dodgiest departments, aren't they? No, but they know how to play by the rules. Yeah, true. Yeah, walk through with high-heeled shoes and everything else on. Okay, so did you have to wear some kind of overalls after that or something?

No, my manager just pretty much said just ignore her. She's just being a cow. Amazing. Kayla, thank you. Get back out there with your arms and your pins. Harry, when were you told off for what you were wearing? I was in a supermarket in the UK. Yeah.

And just as I was about to pay, I didn't have any shoes on. And this stressed out manager came on and said I had to leave. It is. Like, you forget how Kiwi it is. I don't even do it much in New Zealand, but I did it overseas, and people were looking at me, and I was like, oh, that's right, I'm not wearing shoes. Yeah.

I was on an island, so I was like, it was fine. Yeah. You were about to leave. You were going to pay. Yeah. Hey, I've been in bare feet in New Zealand supermarkets every now and then. You come out and you've got that black film on the bottom of your feet. So it's a bit bleh.

But when you are overseas, like especially like in an island setting, it feels wrong to put on shoes. Yeah, I don't know. What about in the UK though? Were you even close to the beach? Or was this in London? Yeah. No, I was close to the beach.

Okay. Yeah, but it was one of those gross, cold British beaches that's always, like, stony. And there's donkeys everywhere. Why do they have donkeys on the beach? Yeah, they have the same thing. But they're British. Yeah, I don't know why.

To be honest, I've never been to a British beach. They're very stony. Very stony beaches. Very stony. Thank you, Harry. You know, they're like, my husband and I have bought a boathouse to go down on the weekends.

And it's like this pink shed on the side of the beach. We just love sitting out here relaxing in the sun. And it's stony. I'm like, yuck. It is yuck. And we like to go waddle down to the beach for a puddle. And they're like, walking across these like burning hot sharp stones.

Last great time here with the boat shouts. ZM's Flesh Warner Megan. Play ZM. Day something of something Olympiad. If Tokyo, if we spent

just a minute researching we could have told you what Olympiad it is. 30. It's a modern Olympics. The Tokyo Olympics underway. Yes. I was watching the canoe slalom.

Oh, yeah. And I fellow chicken fans. Yeah, she's a big chicken fan. I like how her chicken's got a shout out, by the way. On the news. Yeah, it's great. It was really cute. So, I was watching

that whole thing, which I will double down again, and so I'd love to go down that in an inflatable tube. It looks like I'd take all the penalties. Yeah, they've got that thing in South Auckland. Do you want that for your birthday? Can I have it for Christmas? Yeah. I've got an idea for my birthday.

Absolutely. I want my 40th birthday at the Hobbiton, remember? That's right Is that on the boil? Is that on the go? Is that on the simmer? We set up for a pair of that cake We'll sort that out

Okay, good But some of the signage was like a bit broken in there I was like How's that been? What's going? And then it occurred to me that signage has probably been

sitting there for over a year Yeah 100% I'm not saying the water's been running the whole time, but yeah, some signage might have been out and attached for like a year because it is Tokyo 2020, even though it is now 2021. Well, she sadly missed out on a medal placing. Yeah.

Yeah, just missed out on a silver in that. But she's got another, one of the other letters in her numbers in front of the slalom today. Oh, the K68. K1, C2. Right. Okay, so watch out for that match. But a couple of moments yesterday that really tickled our fancy from the Olympiad.

Kayleigh McEwan, she is an Aussie swimmer. She broke the Olympic record to win gold in the women's 100m backstroke final. Big moment for her, but she wasn't thinking about being on live TV. And the Australian working her way to the lead. Can she do it? Kayleigh McEwan in front. Kayleigh McEwan touches first.

An Olympic record. She wins gold. What would you like to say to your mum and your sister for now? Yeah, oh shit. If you're, oh shit. Yeah, Australian. No, I like that. I see the Australian coach who was super excited F year Oh shit Yeah Australian

No I like that I see the Australian coach Who was super excited The other day He was like Humping the rail And just like So jazzed

Yeah Some people have Found Taken umbrage with his Celebration Because of toxic masculinity He was so jazzed But then he

Beat Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah He was so jazzed though. He was so jazzed, but didn't he beat... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, the Aussies can swim. Yeah. Holy moly, they can swim. Did what's-his-face Miley's ex ever get to the Olympics? Cody Simpson? Cody, I don't know. Did he miss out? Maybe.

I don't know. I think he was close to getting there. No, because wasn't he butterflying enough? Does that happen yet? I think it has. Oh, right. The British guy won. Such an alpha stroke.

Also, yesterday, a bit of nibbles. Yeah, in the boxing. Our boxer who's... I'll go out and say, one of the most handsome men at the Olympics. Woo! Do you want to say what you said, Megan, off air before? Not really. Oh, hello.

Now then, you know, the frustration. It's come together, and that's what produced that reaction, and that could have been an act of absolute madness. In blue, David Nika. Yeah, David Nika winning his fight against the Moroccan boxer. Who tried to eat him. Who tried to have a nibble of him. And he is delicious.

Like if you were that close and the ear was right there, you just like got his... It does look a little bit sexual. He's like... Yeah, less teeth, more tongue. That's my general rule. It certainly is an erogenous zone, isn't it? It is.

But it was almost like... It was also like a slip on the cheek. It was almost more like a kiss on the cheek than it was. But then he won it and he said to the guy... Come on, mate. It's the Olympics. Yeah, yeah. Like, calm down.

So he's a good sport and he's a good looking guy. Thank you to Sky Sport for that audio as well. Delicious. As delicious as David Negron himself. Today, Olympics wise? I'm just scrolling down. The New Zealand Herald has

just got information coming out the yang. Going in the yang. Which is code for Vaughan. Has not prepared. And out the yang. Has not prepared. No, but Luca Jones is back. Yep.

With her chickens. Luca Jones has been. No chickens on board the kayak. But there are other things happening today. That three-on-three basketball that we're all like, when is this? When does this mean? I don't know if that's a full court. Like tiring.

Yeah, I know. Lots more running. Boost mobile. Yeah, we've got some more sevens. We met the Canadians last night. Are we in semis, quarters? Semis. Watch the ones just before the final.

So we take on Great Britain in a semi-final. Quarter and then semi. And if we win that, we go through to the final. That's for the men. Yeah. Today at the Olympics. The men's sevens. And the female's sevens and the female sevens,

they're also giving it away. God, you're useless sometimes, eh? I think Megan's going to take over the schedule tomorrow. She's more prepared. Because it was, okay, the football ferns are eliminated. Sevens into finals. Sam Meach,

he's 15th after six of ten races. Wait, I wanted to talk about, someone messaged me. Someone messaged me and I said I'd mention it. Okay. Wait. Where is it? It's in the group chat. Good for Japan being top of the medal table as well with ten golds, three silver and five bronze. Erica

Doors is competing today in one of the boat things with the sail on it. Oh, come on. Not a paddle boat, a sail boat. One of the boat things. Someone messaged you. She's not propelling the boat things with the sail on it. Oh, Vaughn. Not a paddle boat, a sailboat. One of the boat things. Someone messaged you. She's not propelling the boat. She's controlling the wind. Right.

Okay. She's like an air bender. A wind sailor. Erica Dawes is competing today. She broke her leg less than four weeks ago. Wow. So is it still in the car?

No, wait. More than four weeks ago. She first got back in the boat less than four weeks after breaking her leg. I just googled Erica Steele and it all has come up with Erica Dawes. No, wait. More than four weeks ago. She first got back in the boat less than four weeks after breaking her leg. I just Googled Erica Steele and it all has come up with Erika. No, Erica Steele doors and interior. I'm not getting any.

You two are both useless. Dawson. Oh, Dawson. Right. Dawson is her nickname. Oh, my. Anyway, she's in a boat. She's not feeling great.

I'm just going to cast on you. You'll notice her because she'll have it elevated because you've got to elevate. She's going to cast. No. All right. Well, good luck to all of the Olympians today. That is our thorough investigation into the Olympics. Also, I learnt why it's ROC

not Russia. Why? Russia's banned. Russia's because of all the doping and stuff. Russian Olympic Committee is, yeah, basically. That seems like a glaring loophole that they should close up. There are a bunch of athletes from Russia that were happy to meet the standards put forward by the Olympic Committee. That's why they're the Russian Olympic Committee.

Okay, that's why you see ROC. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. I guess this isn't surprising, but Bumble has found in its latest research something really sad. So we've heard that demand for Botox and lip fillers and everything is massive. We've been obsessing over our floors. We've been looking at ourselves in Zoom and FaceTime. Well, yeah, because everybody

was staring at their screens in Zoom. I mean, at least maybe so for us New Zealanders. A lot of people still working from home, yes, but in the UK where these stats are out of, they've been in lockdown until recently and some still are. So obsessing about yourself

because you don't have much else to do and looking at yourself on screens and we all ate a lot of bread and stuff as well. Take that into account. How good is bread and biscuits? So good. Yeah, I go to carbs. Don't remove carbs. Your brain needs them.

That's what I tell myself when I eat all that bread. Yeah, imagine the state you'd be in without carbs. Skinnier, but so much dumber. Yeah. None of us can afford that.

No. We're living in a world full of dum-dums. Yeah. Some of us need to stay on the carbs. Yeah. So Bumble and their latest research found that people's confidence Living in a world full of dum-dums. Yeah. Some of us need to stay on the carbs. Yeah.

So Bumble, in their latest research, found that people's confidence in their physical appearance has dipped massively. So 58% of people said that they felt self-conscious to the point where they will even cancel a date. Oh, that's sad. Due to feeling insecure in their body. This is people under the age of 34. But we're all in the same boat because what did we say

yesterday? And that boat has not got much freeboard left in it because the water level's high. No, what did we say yesterday? New Zealand has collectively

put on 3 million kgs in the last year. Yeah, but like I said, that's not that bad. Divide amongst 4.5, shoo around. Some people a bit more, some people a bit less. But you don't, when you're criticising yourself,

you don't think, oh, we're all in the same boat. You know, you don't think about everyone else. You're hard on yourself, aren't you? You're really hard on yourself. So yeah, people are cancelling dates at the last minute because they feel too insecure to be judged. Say yes to the date because we all got a bit podgy. And don't worry about it. You're your own harshest critic.

They probably won't. So if you can't find fault in yourself, like me, what does everybody else think? If I'm my harshest critic and I think I'm perfect, everyone else must just be gagging for it. Do you need Megan and I to just find some faults? No, no, no, no, no. That's not how this works.

We try on the daily. We've managed to bring it down. You try and you can't some faults? No. Just quickly. No, no, no, no, no. That's not how this works. We try on the daily. We've managed to bring it down. You're trying. You can't. You can't. It's because I don't eat carbs. I'm too dumb. Teflon smithy.

ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. So a while ago, it's kind of been on my radar for a while, but I was like, heck, why not? It was a bit of a, I think I might have got some targeted advertising or maybe sort of video on Instagram. I was like, that's it. It's happening. I purchased off Amazon. You're welcome, Jeff Bezos. a bit of a, I think I might have got some targeted advertising on my best sort of video on Instagram. I was like, that's it, it's happening. I purchased off Amazon.

You're welcome, Jeff Bezos. He definitely needed your money. Yep. Jeff Bezos and the Space Cadets. And it arrived while we were away. A magnet fishing kit. And I bought one for myself, and then the postage was free on the second one,

and the second one was discounted, so I bought producer Jared one as well because he gets jazzed about these things. How much were they? They were like 20 bucks or something, eh? A little bit more than that. A little bit. Oh, really? Okay.

They were like $35. It got down to $30. Then there were $40 but I bought two so it came down to like $35 each. Okay. Postage was right. And for a hobby, that's pretty cheap. Yeah. So, that arrived and we set out yesterday to go fishing, magnet fishing.

So the idea for those that maybe haven't seen videos is people do this overseas. It's big in like canals and stuff in Europe and England. It's in Europe because of how long people have lived there. They've had wars. I saw a video yesterday of a dude fishing up an anti-tank mine from World War II. I was like, as soon as I pulled that out, I'd be like, nope. You can have my magnet. And I'd go and get the bomb squad.

And that's the thing. The magnets are so strong, they just attach. So you can pull up the one you got there. That's, what, 400 kilograms. Yeah. So you could pull up something with 400. I mean, I don't know how you would. Now, slight side story.

You may remember I talked about it earlier in you would. Now, slight side story. You may remember I talked about it earlier in the show. I talked about it yesterday after the very heavy rain. Well, I assume that's what caused it because before the very heavy rain, I had both headlights working. Yesterday, one of them was gone, the headlights. So I needed to replace the headlights. Now, yesterday after work, producer Jared's like,

I'm going to be an hour putting together the podcast and doing my bits. I said, perfect. I'll go and replace my headlight. Now, from fossicking about in the bonnet area of a car, I know it's dirty in there. So out of my magnet fishing kit, I take the gloves that came with it. And I get the light bulb out and I'm like, well, how fantastic. And then I drive off to get the light bulb that needs to be replaced. Then after that, I drive to the location. We're going to go magnet fishing.

We chose under Auckland Harbour Bridge. Quite like a beautiful. Well, that's where people fish from there, aren't they? They also make out there. And lots of making out. Have rendezvous. They sure do. So it was when I got there, I got out super excited,

started taking some videos. It was a rainbow. I was like, yeah, treasure. And then I was like, where's my kit? I left it on the roof of my car. After I got the gloves out. Did it not magnet to the roof? No, because the magnet was sitting at the top and facing up.

Okay. So I lost my kit before I even got to use it. Okay, so you still don't know where that is? No idea. I redrove the entire thing. Of course you did. You should put that one on the roof of your car and see where it skids off. That's great detective work. What a good idea.

That is a good idea. Replicate. That's a scientific replication. So I, again I'll repeat, lost it before I even got to use it. The only part I still have of it is the huckery gloves that you can probably get for about two bucks somewhere. Okay. So I messaged Jared.

I'm like, bring in the backup kit. Okay, yeah. And so he arrives with his kit. I'm like, well, all is not lost. I feel like this is, if you've ever watched those reality shows where they're like gold mining or crab fishing or doing the timber, they have a bad start to the day, and then at the end of the day, it all comes right.

So I was like, I feel like we're going to fish out a lime scooter or something. Original, first-gen lime scooter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The ones that could go fast before they limited the speed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to fish one of those out. So we chucked out the magnet, pulled it in.

Nothing. Chucked it out again, pulled it in. Nothing. Third toss. We got something. Wait, did you bring it in? I brought in the treasures. Oh, it's in there pulled it in. Nothing. Third toss. We got something. Wait, did you bring it in? I brought in the treasures. It's in there.

It must be tiny. Number one. A piece of what looks to be a high tensile cable, a small piece of it that has had an oyster growing on it at some stage. It looks like a stone. Number two. A small piece of it that has had an oyster growing on it at some stage. Wow. It looks like a stone. Number two. So you threw it back in.

What? Oh, no, no, no. This was all on the same. Oh, okay. This was three things on one catch. Okay. A spark plug. Wow.

And this has been in there for ages. That could be like from the 60s or something. Even before. It's an NGK. Now I'm familiar with that brand. It's an NGK. Now I'm familiar with that brand. What's grown on the end of it? Spark plug.

I don't know. Barnacles. Yeah, like a barnacle-y situation. Well, so far this has been fantastic. Piece number three. Yep. Nang! Nang!

Nang! Wow. What do people who don't inhale these call them? Creamers Creamers Yeah for Yeah catering Cream fluffers Yeah yeah

You put the little nang in there It's nitrous oxide And it goes into the cream And fluffs it up Yeah If you If you have a cake store Otherwise you just

Yeah That's what the cake does So those are the three pieces Of we found on that toss Okay And then next up We we're high on hunting. This is exciting. We were high.

When you were there, we were high. We were jazzed. Yeah, very jazzed. So then we're, in it goes. So you wind it up and you throw it. How far out did you throw the magnet? So it's a 20-meter rope and I could throw it right to it. Oh, okay.

And then it would drop straight down. We're pulling it in. Jared's pulling it in. He's having a fish. And all of a sudden he's like, I got something. Oh, this. And then it would drop straight down. We're pulling it in. Jared's pulling it in. He's having a fish. And all of a sudden he's like, I got something. Oh, this is quite exciting. And he's like, I got something. And he was pulling it and it had a bit of pull in it.

And I was like, oh, help. So we were both pulling on it and we realized, oh, we've got a snag. Now, it's at this point that we say to each other, I've never seen a magnet fishing video Where they go off a purpose built rocky If you're familiar with what the Auckland Harbour Bridge looks like They built a rocky slope With concrete and rocks

With a definitive edge at the bottom To stop erosion They're always pulling up, not sideways Yeah So we snagged it And it must have been in a really tight spot because try as we might, we couldn't get it out. Oh, God. We pulled, we pulled.

We tried it from different angles. We pulled. We almost considered ringing Megan to see if she'd bring down her jet ski and pull it the other way. By the way, we thought your jet ski could be really good for magnet fishing. Yeah, until you magneted it onto the propeller. To the jet ski. Hadn't thought about that. See, until you magneted it onto the propeller. To the jet ski. Hadn't thought about that.

See, you, that's why we need you on the team. You think about these things. We're all just action jacks. So where's the magnet? It's on the bottom of Auckland Harbour somewhere. Oh, my God. So you tried as... I did mention that you would probably snag it on the first go, didn't I?

Do you remember that? So, yep. So we were pulling and pulling, and I was like, there's only one possible way to get this unhooked if it's going to come. We hooked the rope to my Honda Accord. Oh, my God. You know that little hook that cars have on the front in case they get in a ditch to tow them out? Yeah.

And I put it in reverse, and I was like, and it was pulling, and anyway, the rope snapped and nearly cut a jogger in half. So we've all learnt. Just to update, how many magnets kits do you have left? Zero magnet kits! How many have you ordered?

Two more! Yeah! Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Oh, she's just said don't you dare talk about this. Too late! By the way, I've got to call her soon.

She can't understand how the insulation in our ceiling works. We've got a pitched ceiling. I think she's of the belief there's a ceiling space up there. There's zero ceiling space. This isn't a domestic for when you get home for, not now. It is. But my lovely patient wife who puts up with me, so you know that she's sort of Buddhist in the fact

that she can just have absolute zen. Yeah, yeah. Last night she noticed that Dan the weatherman at the end of his sentences was taking deep, sharp breaths. I think she might have just been a bit tired. You know how when you're grumpy you're... Yeah, when you're really grumpy and tired, you notice those little things and they annoy you.

Yeah, but when she pointed it out, I was like, don't do that because now I can't hear anything. But he gets to the end and says, and tells us what's happening in Tauranga. And then there's going to be a Western. Not quite that bad, but it was very. Oh, now I'm going to notice that. But then they've got the thing, the weather,

he's got a lot to get through. Everybody does it when they're talking and they go, and they've got to get to the next sentence. They've got a script and they know what they've got to do. And there's probably a lot to get through. He's rushing. Everybody does it when they're talking and they're like, and they've got to get to the next sentence, and they've got a script, and they know what they've got to do. And there's probably a line producer being like, Dan, we've got to hurry up. Luca Jones' slalom canoe starts soon. And he's pumping through.

Well, now I'm going to notice that. Once she noticed it, I couldn't not notice it. Right. And this is nothing against Dan because he's the loveliest man. Very softly spoken. He's a lovely man. He seems lovely. Yeah, he seems like a lovely man.

He's great at the weather. Great at the weather. Although Megan's got an issue with him. No, I wasn't going to say. It's not an issue. It's just I've noticed something about him too and every time we just say legs because he just. I love that power stance.

He's got a wide stance. Nothing wrong with his legs. He's just always very wide. He points them out. He's just got a very. And stands apart. But you know what? That's a wide stance. There's nothing wrong with his legs. They're just always very wide. He points them out. He's just got a very... And stands apart. But you know what? That's a man thing.

That's a very comfortable, powerful stance. He's probably got a... I reckon he's got a strong westerly. He just looks real chill, but he's always got his legs really wide. His power stance. Yeah, it's his absolute power stance. I'm sure people on TV love it

when they get picked apart like this. This is one thing, if I notice someone who like talks and they'll be like that and like that noise, that tongue.

Yeah. If they use it in place of a comma and it's weird because once you notice people do it and if you were imagining what they're saying

written down. They're punctuating. They're punctuating with this noise. Is there comma? Okay. And I don't know why, and not many people do it,

but the minute I notice someone does it, it's almost like when I'm looking at them talking, I'm seeing subtitles of what they're saying and when they go, I'm like, comma. And then, what do they do for a semicolon? I would never notice someone.

For the following reasons. Is there anything about, like, any of us that you've noticed? Because there's one thing Vaughn does. It doesn't, I've just noticed. Oh, my God, what? When you, I've told you about it before. When you blow on your porridge, you go. It doesn't blow properly I don't go

I direct You go Because I have done that before You're real flappy And I've got so much gust I blow the porridge off the spoon Yeah I'm just saying

You don't blow properly You blow raspberries at your porridge. Yeah. Fletch does that thing where he eats an apple and then he eats and he goes. Like the apple got inside his throat and it was like, right, I'll teach you to eat me. The skin gets caught at the back of my throat. I was like. Maybe you need to chew more before you swallow it.

Yeah, I'm always in a rush. And then on with life. But I was wondering if there's anything that once you notice about someone, you can't not notice. And maybe it doesn't, like, annoy. I'm not saying it necessarily has to, like, annoy you, but you notice someone does something and then that's kind of distracting. Maybe something your partner does.

And when you're real grumpy with them, it really annoys you. This. If Charlotte's in a bad mood, she'll be in the car. She'll be absolutely stewing on the fact that we've been talking about her. But this will absolutely, this she'll probably. When I do that, if I've just got a little something, it doesn't even have to be a something stuck in my teeth. If I just feel like my teeth are a little furry or in need of a brush,

I'll go... I'll go... And what does she say? What does she say? She hits me. Wait a minute. The typing dots are happening. Okay.

Let's see what happens here. Oh, divorce proceedings. That's a good... That's a good eye cow. We've all been waiting. You do blow on your porridge like that Someone secretly video me next time I'm doing that cute thing with the porridge

I watch you every time I can't not watch Okay so 0800DARLS.M We want to take your calls now 0800DARLS.M You can text in 9696 What have you noticed about someone That you just can't shake

A little habit Something they do Maybe it's your partner Someone you work with Oh no that's there That's inescapable What have you noticed about someone that you just can't shake? A little habit, something they do. Maybe it's your partner, someone you work with. Oh, no, that's inescapable. That's inescapable. And you just can't shake it. Maybe it really grinds your gears.

Give us a call. So we're talking about those things, the little things you notice about someone that you can't shake. Maybe it's a little habit, a little thing they do. Blowing on their pores. Well, this is good too. We're a species that's easily triggered. Someone said, you ever meet a blinker?

You know those people that blink with like real intent? You lose what they're saying. Yeah, because you think their eyes are trying to Morse code you or something. Carissa, what's the thing that you couldn't shake about someone? Oh, well, I've known this woman for years, and I started working with her, and we worked in a little cubicle together, so we were almost like side by side. And one of our other workmates comes up to me one day,

and she was like, don't you find her whistling annoying? And I'm like, what whistling? I don't know what you're talking about. Uh-oh. And then literally from that moment on, all I could hear, she would, like, blow through her teeth. So she'd be sitting there, and she'd be like, every time she's doing anything or anything of any type of concentration.

And we were in a count, so a lot of it is concentration. Yeah. And from that moment on, I could not unhear it. They come up to me a few days later, and they're like, did you know she clicks as well? Stop telling me! So, like, putting her tongue up to the top of her mouth, like a...

Yeah. And again, so I've got, like, this musical instrument working next to me. It was... Oh, no. Do you have to wear headphones? Well, she retired and left. So, she left.

Yes. The clicky whistler, gone. Correct. So, thanks for your call. Tim, what did you notice about a friend that you couldn't shake? Yeah, so I had a friend come and stay with us about a year ago, and they stayed for a year, and the first time they sat down for a cup of tea, I could hear their swallows.

Oh, no, no. Loud swallowing is really, lots of people are messaging in loud swallows. Was it like a gulp or something? Yeah, I don't know. It was just a normal swallow, but that's all I could hear for about a year. And I was in the other room once, and I thought she might have been choking, but I went in and she was just drinking her tea.

If you sound like you're choking when you're eating food, that's not a good thing, is it? Brilliant. Tim thinks you called some text messages rolling in. Matt, my husband's breathing. He does this little click at the bottom of a breath. Yeah. How does he do it?

If you were grumpy with him, it would just do your head in. What are you supposed to say though? Stop breathing. Somebody said the minute someone moves too close to me, I'm like, oh, they're too close to me and I'll move away and I've found someone at my work who will literally, like when I move away 10 centimetres, he'll come in more, 10 more centimetres.

Oh, yeah, those people. Two of my friends are private school educated, come from very well-off families. They both do this thing where they suck air through their teeth if they're making a point. It's a rich person power move because it definitely like makes you listen.

Do they teach it at a private school? Maybe there's a class. None of us went to a private school so we won't know. No. I had a lecturer at uni who had strong intonation

at the end of his sentences so I had to stop going to his classes. It was fury and fury. At the end, the sentence. Like everything, you weren't quite done? Yeah. Everything sounds like a question.

And that's that. Chewing loudly. My missus eats chips one crunch at a time. Mouth shut, but it's a very hollow mouth. So it echoes. My daughter, I look at her because I can hear her eating and I'm like, she's going to have her mouth open. She needs to do my job as a father to ensure

that she doesn't infuriate everyone in her life going forward by being an open mouth chewer. And if you fail your children of that simple task, you're a bad parent. But I look at her and her mouth shut, but I can hear it. And I'm looking, I'm like, how's this happening? Is she not sealing the mouth? There's not enough saliva.

A cavernous sort of like nasal passage? I'm not sure. More saliva needed. Like eating some chips in the Waitomo caves. Yeah, exactly. It echoes around. It echoes around. My boss ends his sentences in a high tone,

so it doesn't sound like he's ending the sentence. It's quite annoying. More noisy swallowers. Someone said, there's a woman in our office who can't stand silence, so if it goes quiet, everything she does, like if she swallows, she goes mmm. It makes weird swallowing noises.

Put some music on. Slurpers, also hearing from a lot of people who aren't huge fans of slurpers. No, that's yuck. The guy at my work says so at the end of his sentences while chewing on chewing gum. The guy at my work says says instead of says. Is that me? What am I supposed to say?

Says. Says. That's my accent. Oh, my God. That's great. What my god That's great What do I say? Yeah You say

Say's Instead of says Say's Do I say say? Yeah When did I say it? Just then So say is

To say But says Is like past I would debate you on that I'm speaking the Queen's English I mean we learned that At broadcasting school Well I didn't listen.

And look at me. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the show, thanks. Excuse me. Well, yeah, it was just that little thing you've noticed about me that always cleared my throat. Did you eat an apple? The show, thanks to McCafe Grape, any size McCafe coffee,

for only $4 conditions apply. It is time for... Fact of the Day! Day, day, day, day! Penny or a thruppence, for every time I'm stopped in the street and people say to me, Vaughn, why at the Olympics is the swimming measured to a thousandth of a second, of a hundredth of a second? Wait a minute. Well, don't people stop you in the street and say it all the time?

They say it all the time. And they say, why is the swimming only broken down to a one hundredth of a second? When every other Olympic sport, sprinting, everything else can be broken down to a thousandth or a ten thousandth of a second. If I had any sort of currency for every time I'm asked, I'd be rich. I wouldn't be working. No, you wouldn't. I'd be feet up.

Well, that is because of the tolerances involved in engineering a 50 centimetre, a 50 centimetre, a 50 metre Olympic pool. Okay. So, there is a tolerance acceptable in a 50-metre pool for three centimetres in each lane because that is the size that an Olympic pool can change.

What do they move? But they're concrete. Well, well, well. It's like swell if you water it. Correct. Oh, God, I'm burning. It gets a bit throbbing. The pool can change depending on the water temperature,

the ambient air temperature, and if people are in the pool itself. Oh, yeah. So that's why they only break it down to a hundredth of a second, making a tie far more probable than any other sport at the Olympics. I have a question, but I'm scared it'll make me sound dumb. I might not have the answer. If there are people, say there's like 50 people in the pool, but I'm scared it'll make me sound wrong. I might not have the answer. Okay. Shoot.

If there are people, say there's like 50 people in the pool, is the pool heavier? Yes. The pool's heavier. Because you don't weigh anything in the pool though. The pressures pushing the pool out are more, which is why it would get longer.

Doesn't the water just get pushed up? It can, but it can also, water weighs so much and gravity pushing down on the water, it can lengthen the pool. And if you think over 50 metres, 3 centimetres, stretch and length. So they only break it down. Here's the kind of the easy to understand maths behind it.

The current world record for the men's 50 metres is 20.91 seconds. Yeah. So that would mean to a thousandth of a second, they would be covering 2.3 millimetres of travel. So they're saying if they broke it down that much, that's too much variance. Oh, yeah, right. For the day-to-day.

Yeah. It could be a day where it is the size it's meant to be, exactly 50 centimetres, or it could be three centimetres, you know, not either side. It could be three centimetres variance. Huh. So if they broke it down to a thousandth,

it's too specific, given how much the length can change. That's madness. I would not have thought a concrete pole would just get all swollen like that. Well, isn't that one of concrete's strengths in building? It's got a bit of give? Not a heap of give. Right.

But that's why they put the rebar in the middle, right? That's why they put the metal through it because it adds another. No, I'm not an engineer, Vaughn. I watched this thing when we were on holidays. They built this really big bridge. Oh, yeah? Man. Did they pour some concrete?

And then by the end of it was the bridge finished. You bet. God, you need better holidays. It was a massive bridge. I should find this bridge. I think you'd be impressed by the bridge. Okay. Is it more of a viaduct?

Because you know I love those. You know how in the same show, this is a story for another day, I've always wondered how they set concrete underwater. Like when they're building a concrete pile underwater. Yeah, how do they do it? Story for another day. Oh, no, just say now real quick. Story for another day.

They displace the water. They put like this thing down that they pour the concrete inside of and they displace the water. Well, they did in this situation. Okay, yeah, right. I watched this thing over holidays where I was like, who is Lucinda going to choose on Love Island? Which very different content.

Right. Well, no, to get to Love Island, they could build a concrete suspension bridge. It's like, I'd love to see everybody on Love Island doing some civil engineering. I reckon it would be. Bridges would be collapsing in front and centre. I've got a text. It's from the council. Bridges are going to be collapsing in front and centre. I've got a text.

It's from the council. Our bridge is condemned. People died on it. So today's fact of the day is Olympic swimming is only measured in hundredths of a second because of the variation in length that an Olympic pool can experience. Jesus. That sounded like a death rattle. of the variation in length that an Olympic pool can experience. Jesus! That sounded like a death rattle.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Do you just go and buy bulk beans somewhere? There's lots of coffee roasteries and suppliers in New Zealand. You go and you pick one that is popular and you think everyone's going to like, essentially. Do you do a few tasty? We're getting sacks or bags? Pessy and sacks? Bags. I can't remember how big they are. Yeah, big bags.

Right. Well, apparently prices for high-end beans favoured by a lot of coffee chains and stores around the world surged more than 30% in a week and will eventually top $3 a pound. That's the measurement of it. Right. And apparently prices, the last time they were this high was 2011. But yeah, apparently it's so cold that it's destroying crops in parts of Brazil where they grow these beans.

Erotic beans. And not the only place they grow beans, though. A lot of other Central American countries. Where's your global warming now, hippie? Just trying to provide some balance to the show. You know, like, you could say climate change and, you know, we're on a one-way track to, you know, disaster on this planet.

And this is indicative because of climate in an area that hasn't usually experienced this climate. Floods happening around the world, droughts, wildfires tearing through parts of the northern hemisphere. But I just thought I'd provide balance by saying it. Where's your global warming now? Well, apparently this could affect supply and it could be an issue for years to come

as much as 5.2 million bags. That's a lot, isn't it? Slash, like just gone because of this. Isn't that crazy? All right. Okay, so doesn't it affect cocaine? Well, I don't know. I was just thinking because those same areas.

Two plants that grow in very similar climates. I'm going to switch to that instead of your morning coffee. Do you think we need Vorn on any kind of stimulant? Coffee's enough for you. Coffee's a good stimulant. You're the couple and you're already enough. I could do lines of McConaughey in the kitchen just for a bit of both yeah

that'll tan your nostrils and I come in with like a brown nostril that I vorn I'm like vorn vorn

ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan we um want to talk about Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis they've been on the Armchair Expert

at Stacks Shepherds podcast and they just mentioned that they don't wash their kids every day Mila said she didn't have hot water growing up so she didn't wash every day and they don't wash their kids every day. Mila said she didn't have hot water growing up,

so she didn't wash every day. And they don't wash everything. They only wash their kids when they can physically see dirt on them. And Ashton said that he just gives his armpits and crotch a splash daily, but nothing else. Oh, I like them too. Side note, have you seen their barn that they built? That's cool.

If you're into some interior design that's an incredible place they've built there. But smelly. Yeah, it's ruined that for me now. Yeah, like kids especially unless they physically see the dirt, they don't wash them either. So we were in a poll, and this surprises me.

We said, do you actually wash your whole body every day? Now, that would be like jumping in the shower, you're wet, right? You soap, and you go everywhere. Legs. I don't wash my legs every day. I remember there's been talk about this before, like do you actually wash your legs? Because the soapy water dribbles down.

But then when you think about it, when you get in the shower and you're like, do I wash my legs? And you'll probably wash them because you're thinking about it. I'll bring a knee up. Yeah. Other knee. Do you want to go down to the feet? Yeah, I'll do the top of the feet, the bottom.

Yep. Do you get between the toes of the finger? No. Oh, I put a soap on the bottom of the foot. You're standing in soapy water. Yeah, I know, but. And you don't want to soap too much on the underside of the foot. You'll slip over.

Yeah, that's nice to see. You've got to have a little grip mat on the bottom of your shower. Exactly. But I took that to mean like bathing as in getting in the shower, right? You're washing yourself. Yeah. Yeah. So do you actually wash your whole body every day?

62% of people said obviously. Yes, I do. But 38% of people said nah, I don't wash my whole body every day. Also on the kid thing, like our children bathe every day. Yeah. We're pretty, you know, hard and fast. Growing up, did you? I did.

Yeah, I did. Every day, shower, after, before you go to bed. Exactly. And then when I got to high school, I did. Every day, shower, after, before you go to bed. Exactly. And then when I got to high school, I started showering in the morning before school and then bed as well. And I've done it ever since. Like, you'll meet parents when Bastion's older

who will just be like, all right, get in your pajamas and go to bed. And you'll be like, wait a minute, that kid hasn't bathed. And they'll be tearing around all day doing smelly kid stuff. They're like, oh, that's all right. We'll take care of that to every second. Yeah. It'll blow your mind.

What? I'm just like, what? Especially like that. You know the stuff that kids get into, oh, that's all right, we'll take care of that every second. Yeah. It'll blow your mind. I'm just like, what? Especially like that. You know the stuff that kids get into. Yeah, little boys. Remember how grubby you were when you were a boy? You're like, what's that? You're like, might be poo. Touch it. Yeah, and they'll be like,

oh no, we do it every second day around here. I'm just like, oh, you manky kids. Yeah, that does blow my mind. Yeah, you wouldn't wash every day, but yeah. But then are people using soap? Do you reckon? I think people interpreted this poll as actually washing the whole body. Because people wouldn't wash their hair every time, right?

No. So you wouldn't answer, I do wash my whole body, if you don't wash your hair every day. I would have been more like people don't actually concentrate on the legs. Yeah, I do to my knees and then my feet. And then somehow the rest really gets missed. I think we should do a more in-depth poll for tomorrow just to see what people are washing.

But do you want to know? I feel like we're... I kind of do now because I want to see how manky New Zealanders are. Yeah. Even if we're in one of those sliding things on our Instagram of like, how often do you wash your hair? And then they slide it back across. Some people wash it every day, but that's not good, eh?

No. Got to have a couple of times a week. Get the oils. You lose the oils. You don't want to lose the oils. It's going to replenish your oils. ZM's Fleshworn and Megan.
