Play. The names Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe. Buy five McCafe coffees and get one free on the Maccas app. Now you may have seen, I think there's a few of these, but you can turn your face into a cartoon at the moment. You can do it in Instagram or in Snapchat.

Yeah, but there's an app that you can do it, eh? Yeah, yeah, called Voila. Voila. It's about V-O-I-L-A. Yeah. Voila. That's when you say someone right, W-A-L-A-H. Voila.

Voila. That's what they're going for. They're going for Voila. So it makes you into like a Pixar-looking character. Correct. Pretty cool. This was like when, do you remember when everybody was making themselves look old? The aging app?

Well, similar concerns have been raised because apparently everybody's photos are going to a big cloud. Yeah. Researchers have said it's safe to use, but not free of risk. Which doesn't sound safe to use, does it, when they say free of risk? No. But it's a Canadian app. Oh, that's all right then. We trust the Canadians.

What have they done wrong? Given us maple syrup? Snowmobiles? Yeah, and that's it. And ice hockey? And Will Arnett? And Justin Bieber? Yeah, lovely people.

Yeah, bloody... Ryan Reynolds? I mean... Alanis Morissette? Alanis Morissette. Avril Lavigne? Oh, Chad Kroger? Did I go too far?

You're on your way down. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Rachel. Good morning. Welcome. Oh, God, that's a bit croaky. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Good morning. Three minutes past six.

Should I get my temps up? Yeah, get your temps up. Y'all temper. Had ice on the windscreen again this morning. Dude, you have a garage. You have a garage. It only fits one car with all the other stuff that's in there. The home gym bra.

It's a home gym bra, isn't it? Yeah, that'll be it. And junk. Twizel, the coldest place at the moment, minus 5.4. Five in Auckland at the moment, minus one in Hamilton. It's one in Taupo, eight in Wellington, four in Christchurch. Eight in Wellington? Jeez.

Yeah, but it's been a balmy couple of days. Still rough there, though. But a nice, well, yeah, it's the windiest place. Lyle Bay is the windiest. 30 Ks an hour. Not as windy as it has been. But, yeah, a nicely fine and sunny blue sky day over much of the country today. Lovely.

Spill a little bit nips. Yeah, nips to start with. Worth the trade-off, though. Cold start. Lovely day. Coming up on the show, The Box. All thanks to Marvel Studios' Black Widow. $20,000.

We've got to be getting close. Like the clues that we've had. Yeah. We know that the four-digit pin, which spells a four-letter word, we know that word is in the trailer. We had the eyes yesterday, the picture clue, or the day before, Bruno Mars, it looks like. Bruno Mars' eyes, yeah.

What does that have to do with it? Well, your shot to win that $20,000 cash is coming up at 7 this morning. If it doesn't go then, 8 o'clock. And then midday, 4 and 5 with Brian Clint this afternoon. The top six on the way. It's been a leak of LinkedIn data. Yeah, 95% of LinkedIn users' data is for sale on the dark web for like $5,000. That is nothing, eh?

For a whole lot of passwords. For that many people's details. Yeah, absolutely, for sure. So change your password. Always. Get one of those ones that your computer's like, I can recommend you one that you'll never be able to remember in a thousand years and you'll only be able to access from this computer.

What happens if you die, computer? I guess we'll never know. So I've got the top six pieces of information buried amongst that giant LinkedIn leak. All right. But next, Australians, it might be easier for them to take their pets on holiday. Tell you why next. All right. Play ZM's Fleshch, Vaughan and Megan.

The Civil Aviation Authority is relaxing its rules when it comes to animals in the cabin. I thought you were going to say smoking in business class. Nair. That's wild to think that they used to be smoking in planes. Not even that long ago. I know. That's crazy. There's still some countries that do.

Russia. Because I had a friend that was on a flight maybe five years ago, and he said they were smoking on the plane. I was like, that is wild. So wild. So wild. What? I'm going to Google that.

It can't even go anywhere. It's not like you can go up in the window and be like, here we go, get out. Crank the fan blood into somebody else's face. Yeah. anywhere. It's not like you can go up in the window and be like, here we go, get out. Just crank the fan, blow it into somebody else's face. Yeah. If you go and travel in America, you might see service animals and stuff and people are like,

it's my companion and they can get all kinds of animals on the plane. But in Australia, Virgin Australia is the only airline that has hinted that they could be changing their practices now that the civil Aviation is changing their rules. So the authority says when giving permission so that you can have like a large animal on board,

but it should always be secured as to not damage or affect the balance of the aircraft in flight, a small or medium-sized animal carried in the cabin would normally need as a minimum to be restrained during takeoff and landing aircraft in flight. A small or medium-sized animal carried in the cabin would normally need, as a minimum, to be restrained during takeoff and landing and in turbulence. And then they just want to make sure that the excrement or fluids will be contained by the animal. I'm thinking dogs, but they just say animal.

So technically you could have anything. But America reigned this in, right? Because do you remember how crazy it was getting in America? People were taking their like horses, miniature horses there was a miniature horse stupid dogs parrots, birds, all kinds of things because they were saying well I need it for my

anxiety, it's my companion did they actually reign it in? I think they have been reigning it in which is why this is quite surprising yeah so all the other airlines in Australia have not indicated they're going to change anything. But yeah, Virgin Australia has hinted that you could be able to take like animals, even large animals, probably dogs, into the cabin. Right. Which, like, initially I was like, that's cool.

Because, you know, like it's quite stressful for dogs and animals to travel in the cargo bay. But like what about if you took your dog or your cat or whatever? People are allergic. Like I'm very allergic to cats. The dander. Yeah. Yeah, so you'd be sneezing up. I don't want to sit on the plane with someone's puss.

I'm just like, gosh. And so like someone might be allergic to dogs and I don't want to put my dog all up in their grill. Yeah, or allergic to birds. And then what happens if Leo sits next to a cat? Like, oh, hell's going to break loose. Yeah. It'll be chaos.

It'll be chaos in the year. The fleek isn't going to stand for that. Unless it's a cute cat. I've got no time for it. Especially if it's not in, I don't want it in my space. No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Absolutely shouldn't be in your space or even in your foot area.

Yeah. They're not putting them in the overhead, are they? No, you can't because a couple of people did that with French Bulldogs, didn't they? And they died. No, remember it was that airline. It was the airline that said you can't have them there, you've got to have them up in the thing and they put them up there and they died. Oh. Sorry, I sounded quite gleeful about that but I just

remembered that it was like this weird thing at the time that anybody would have thought it would have been a great idea to shove a dog in a small confined space with no airflow. Yeah. Not a good idea. Especially one that already struggles to breathe thanks to, you know, generations and generations of inbreeding on behalf of humans.

ZDM's Fletch, Ron and Megan. A man was cooking himself a steak meal. A steak meal. A succulent steak meal. Although the way he was cooking it makes me think it would have been interesting. Okay. Because it wasn't the traditional manner of cooking a steak. By the way, the best way to cook a steak is a reverse sear.

The best way to cook a steak. What's a reverse sear? So you put it in, like, you can use the oven. Yeah. Or the barbecue, and you put it at a low temperature, and you bring it up, the internal temperature of the steak, if you like it medium rare, bring it up to like 50, maybe 55 degrees. So you put your finger in there and you're like, okay, that's warm.

You can go the meat themom. I don't have a meat themom. Or you get a meat themom. And then you take it out of there and then you hit it on something hot. Like you either turn the barbecue up hot or put it straight over the heat source and just sear the outside. And that also brings up the internal temperature a little bit, but really sears the outside so you get that beautiful.

Oh, so it's medium rare. You can cook it anyway. Okay. But the minute you're going past medium rare, you might as well throw your steak in the bin. Yeah, 100%. You have it blue, you have it rare, or you have it medium rare, and then you throw it in the bin.

Megan likes it chewy. She's an 80s child. She likes it chewy. She chugs in the microwave for 20 minutes. I just don't like it to bleed. I just don't want it bleeding on me. How do you remember you were eating the flesh of a sacred animal if it's not bleeding on you?

Anyway, so he tried to cook it in a toaster. He put the toaster on its side. How thick is his toaster hole? He must have a big toaster hole. Yeah. To get a steak in there. Well, it might have been a small steak. Okay. But it might not have been toaster hole. Yeah. To get a steak in there. Well, it might have been a small steak. Okay.

But it might not have been a thick steak. Yeah. Because he's cooking on a toaster, so I doubt he went and got himself the finest piece of scotch, you know? Yeah. Got himself a thin bit of rump. Sounds like he was chucking a chop in there, to be honest. Yeah, it does.

A bit of schnitzel. Just three bits of schnitzel on top of each other. He's like, that's my steak. Does he go? Why was he doing this? Does he not have a fry pan or an oven? A bit of schnitzel. Just three bits of schnitzel on top of each other. He's like, that's my steak. Does he go, why was he doing this? Does he not have a fry pan or an oven? Don't know. He may have tried it.

He may have read about it online. It sounds like a tick-tock hack. It really does. Gone wrong. Because it was when it was in the toaster cooking that he nipped down the fish and chipper to get himself some chips to have with his steak meal when he came home and his house was burned down. What an idiot. Oh my God. Yeah.

I mean, yeah. I don't even think I'd leave. I wouldn't even leave anything boiling on the stove. Like in a pot. You don't leave anything going when you leave the house. Anything out of the chipper. I wouldn't even leave some toast in the toaster. I'd leave it popped, but I wouldn't leave it down.

Neither. So the insurance company paid out $418,000 for the damage. Now, that's not enough to cover the damage, but they said that's the most you'll get paid under your policy. Your policy type. So this is one of those reminder stories from the insurance and financial services ombudsman. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Karen. Ombudsperson? Ombudsman. Oh, yeah. Okay. Karen. Ombudsperson? Ombudsman. Ombudsperson, yeah. Ombudsperson. What? So it's a warning like you should be fully insured,

like you should insure to the full amount. Of the replacement of your home should you try to burn it down with steak and a toaster. Yeah, but it's cheaper if you have it for less. To be honest, though, I thought that insurance company would be like, you pretty much set that on fire. You left a toaster going with steak jammed in it. I'm really surprised they couldn't. Essentially steak arson. Exactly.

Find some wording in some subset where it's like 4.16.a you used a non-conventional cooking method that resulted in steak unattended. You left it unattended. You put it in a device which was not intended to cook. But he's saying, I think you should

pay another $200,000 and the insurance people are like, well, that's not... Oh, so now he's left short and he's got a burnt down house. It's not funny. I mean, he put steak in a toaster and walked away from it. Cooking

steak in a toaster is a literal recipe for disaster. We know this now. And then to have left the house and toaster unattended for the sake of hot chips must be a constant source of regret for the man. Never leave cooking unattended, even if you think

you'll just be a minute. And please use your appliances for the purpose to which they're designed. Toasters, for example, are for toast. How much of... That would push me over the edge if I wanted money off my insurer and they gave me

a condescending check. Play ZM's Flesh, Fawn and Megan. Savannah Gamblin is logically in love on TikTok and she is

a psychologist that specializes in relationships and self-help. She has said there is a nine month rule when it comes to your relationship

that will determine whether it's going to work or not. This is when you first meet someone. Yeah. You start the clock. So she says you need to push through the third if you want to make it work. But here are the stages. You do not understand your relationship until you've gone through these three phases. One, honeymoon.

We all know that one. Two, unraveling stage. This is when you start to see those bad habits your partner has, and you start to see the flaws in the relationship. Third, realization stage. This is what I'm dealing with. And oftentimes during this realization stage,

we go back to the honeymoon phase, and we're like, but that's what it's like. No, no, no no that's an illusion realization stage is where you keep having the same fight and the same problems arise and we need to learn how to get ourselves out of that so you need to make it through the third realization stage um to make your relationship work. That's the hurdle. Right, a.k.a. putting up with what they're really like. Yeah, finding out what their stupid little isms are. It's not cute anymore, is it? But from what she says, does that sound like you need to just get over those things

or help them not do them anymore? I think you have to work out whether or not that's going to be the deal breaker, right? You have to work out, like, that sounds like the ideal time for a pros and cons list. Yes. Or the ideal time to, like. Fix them, as you say. Write a list of things you want to change.

Yeah. About them. Right. Was there anything after nine months, like, after the honeymoon stage with Mr. Toyboy, that you had to so-called fix? We should be asking him. Yeah, we should. I feel like he took on the Reno.

Yeah, he really did. Fetch, please. Pa, please. Yeah. Oh, God. He got, like, a clothing Reno, that's for sure, because good Lord. Really? I don't remember him.

What did he dress like? Just not great. Just not great. Yeah, right. Okay. There's that reno. But no. Walk me through what he was wearing.

Was he wearing satin boxes? No, no. He was in the same boxes. 2013, 2012, 2013. 2012, yeah. I don't remember him like when you first met him dressing. It was a swift. Oh, it was a school uniform.

Sharp intervention. Right, but he had to wear that. Because he was going to school. And if you're going to be out of school, you've got to be in all of the uniform or none of the uniform. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, otherwise he gets in trouble. Mum.

And all of the uniform or none of the uniform was also the rule you had in the bedroom, I believe. ZDM's Fletchmore and Megan. There has been a le arrest. Le? Is it le or la? Le is one's feminine and one's masculine. But what does it actually mean, though, the word?

It's like a gender-specific the. Oh, okay. There has been the arrest. That didn't make sense then, did it? No, because it's different. Yeah. The closest comparison. I do believe, I don't even speak French.

I've never taken a day of French in my life. This should be... Because that's la nina or la nina. La is in Yonan and le is masculine. Le. LA. So it's la arrest. I did French in my first year of high school.

This should be where I'm really using that. I wish I'd done more languages. I know, same, but yeah. Kids, kids, kids. Hey, kids, kids. If you get the opportunity, make the most of it. And once you've learned the first one, the second one's brilliant. So they say.

Well, police in France have arrested the woman that caused the largest crash in Tour de France history. This footage will go down in history as like the cycling footage now. Oh, 100%. Like every sport has its footage and there's that one

where that woman's a journalist and she's chatting and you just see this baseball come and rocketing at her and it cracks her in the back of the head and drops her. Every sport has its footage. 100%. And this will be the Tour de France footage. I'm surprised it's taken this long for something like this to happen.

Like, you know, this and what's the rally car driving where people are just like right on the side of the road. I'm like, it seems nuts that you can be that close to the action. And they, I mean, they must have rules, right? Yeah, you know... It's pretty loose. Yeah, but there's so many Ks to cover. They literally can't police every kilometre of the road.

And then as the cyclists get near, they all push forward. Yeah, but this was right at the start. You'd think right at the start where there's a big group that they'd have fences or they'd have a metre back distance. Or someone around her would have been like yo, step back. So she is facing prosecutors and the organisers

of the Tour de France as well said from the start, we're after this woman, we're prosecuting. Police opened up a criminal inquiry for deliberately violating safety regulations and so causing injuries that might prevent someone working for up to three months. Now, those are indictable offences in France,

punishable with up to one or two years in prison and a fine of £13,000, so $25,000 New Zealand dollars. She could go to prison. Now, it didn't help her cause that she ran away and disappeared off the face of the planet for the last week, four or five days. How long has it been?

Well, French police have found her in a small town quite near to where this happened because there was talk that maybe she flew in because the sign that she was holding up was a mix of... Was in German. It was a mix of apparently French and German.

Right. And it said, hi, grandpa, grandma or something. And she didn't see the cyclist coming and then caused the largest crash in Tour de France. It may have been, you know, and I don't think she did it on purpose, but... But what would, in that stage, you're going to have to stay there and own up, right?

Like, you're not running away. Running there and own up, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you're not running away. Running only makes it worse. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, kids, kids, running only makes it worse.

Learn a second language and don't run away. And running away from your problems only makes your problems worse. From the unsightly ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. 700 million LinkedIn users' data is for sale on the dark web.

What an absolute steal, too. For $5,000. That's so cheap, right? So cheap. I mean, I don't know how much that many million users' passwords and info would be, but it would be surely way more, right? 700 million. 700 million. 700 million.

No, you'd go 5,000 divided by 700 million. Wouldn't you? Because you're only paying $5,000. Yeah. Divided by 700. I kind of want to buy it just because it feels like a bargain, but I don't know what I'd do with it. That is per user you're paying

okay, so it's below a cent. It's below a tenth of a cent. It's below a hundredth of a cent. It's below a ten thousandth of a percent. A hundred thousandth of a cent. Oh, wow. So cheap. Per user.

That's how much your shitty CV's worth. That's how much your work history's worth. Loser. The top six pieces of information amongst your, sorry, the top six pieces of your information amongst the LinkedIn link. That's so hard to say. Isn't it? Number six on the

list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the LinkedIn link. There we go. You didn't do that charity work you're claiming you did back in 2015. You just went on holiday, but you said you took like three weeks off to do some charity stuff. Yeah. It was just a holiday.

Why are you lying about that? What charity? Let's delve deeper into this. What charity are you saying you helped? Really? Really? Should I call them? I'll ask.

Yeah. I'll ask them. Number five on the list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the LinkedIn leak. Not only do you not know how to use Excel, how to insert a grid in Microsoft Word is beyond you. Oh, Microsoft.

You insert a picture and all the text goes everywhere. Well, you've got to right-click on that and format the picture to text wrap. Even when I've done that, it's just like Bill Gates needs to go sort his attention on that, not the bloody coronavirus. Nah, I reckon he's, I reckon he's a right. He's good where he is. I reckon he stays there now. Number four on the list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the LinkedIn leak.

You put your friend down as a previous employer because the actual boss of that place has nothing nice to say about you. Yeah. You put their number and they answer previous employer because the actual boss of that place has nothing nice to say about you. Yeah. You put their number and they answer the phone and they're like, you, how can I help? And they're like, hi, it's so-and-so.

Are you the boss of Kmart between 2012 and 2014? Yes, I was. Yes, definitely was. Yes. What employee would you like to speak regarding? Number three on the list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the linked and leaked. You steal heaps of stuff from work. You're a prolific thief.

I don't think anyone's putting that on their LinkedIn. No, but they can find that, you know, now that I've got all your data. They can go behind the scenes. They can totally see that. Number two on the list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the linked and leaked. You're not a champion for the environment. You take the bus to work because you crashed the company car, lost your privileges and don't have a car park. I don't know if that's on your LinkedIn.

Could be in your messages maybe. That's the thing, they can get into that now. Because they've got your password. By the way, they've totally got your password. Oh yeah, they've got your password. You should probably do that thing where your computer checks where your passwords have been compromised. Well, yeah, I did that. I had like 50 passwords compromised. I was like, okay, better solve in passwords.

Oh, yeah, I did that and then I went, okay, cancel. 700 million people though. Yeah. Like to get them to randomly pick yours to exploit. Yeah. It's less than winning lotto. Buy a lotto ticket. Number one on the list of the top six pieces of your information amongst the linked and link.

You didn't resign to follow your passions. You were fired for spending too much time online shopping at work. Yeah. Resign to follow your passions. That's a power play on your CV. That is the last top six. I am the box. But it is time for the box.

$20,000 is inside the box. It's all thanks to Marvel Studios' Black Widow. In cinemas July 8th. It's streaming also on Disney Plus with premiere access July 9th. Conditions apply. Very excited about this movie. It's the 1st of July today. Nuts.

So we're a week away. We're halfway through the week away from Black Widow and halfway through the year. I know, that's nuts, right? All right, joining us is Alex. Good morning, Alex. Good morning, guys. All right, so

there have been some big clues in the last week. Have you poured through the trailer? Do you think the word that you've picked is in the trailer? I do. I think it think the word that you've picked is in the trailer? I do. I think it is the word July.

Okay. But there's no seven. Is there a seven in July? Well, the thing is, is I want to replace the Y with a seven because seven looks like a Y. Okay. And also, if you were going to shorthand July, you'd rub it of the Y, wouldn't you?

Jewel. Jewel. Okay, so that gives July a seven'd rub it of the Y, wouldn't you? Jewel. Yeah. Okay, so that gives July a seven because we know that the four-digit pen, which is a four-letter word, has a seven in it. What about the eye clue? The eyes. Maybe it's someone named Jewel and that's their eyes. Okay. That's a stretch, Alex. That's a stretch, Alex.

That's a stretch. Okay, well, let's see. So confirm for me, Jules 7, what that would be in numbers. So that would be 5, 8, 5, 7. 5, 8, 5, 7. All right, here we go. Oh, no, I didn't even touch that. It did that thing where it did that thing.

Now I have to wait for it to expire. Wait a minute. Hold your horses there, Alan. There we go. Now we're back in business. All right. 5, 8, 5, 7. No!

Oh, no! Oh, bad luck. Unfortunately, Alex, no $20,000 cash prize for you today, but we do have that double pass to Marvel Studios. Black Widow, it's all yours. Enjoy. Excellent. Thank you very much, guys. All right, another chance coming up at 8 o'clock this morning to win that $20,000.

If that doesn't go, Midday with Georgia and Brianne Clint at 4 and five with chances today as well. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. I did say that middle-aged white men are the problem again, but you aren't the only ones. You're not the only offenders. Don't ask middle-aged.

Pretty close. What's the actual, what's the official age? God, because sometimes you have to scroll down the age. Oh, yeah, that's... Scroll, scroll, scroll. It's moving. When you go into a new, like, you have to scroll down the age. Oh, yeah, that's... Scroll, scroll, scroll. It hurts my feelings. When you go into a new, like, category. A new category, yeah.

Embrace it, baby. Middle-aged white men and friends and family are blamed for most of the spread of the misinformation in New Zealand. Okay, I've just Googled. Middle-aged is described as 45 to 65. You're not quite there. Rude. You're knocking on the door.

Rude. 45 to 65. Yoo-hoo! Can we all get older, Megan? You'll be there soon. After you. A long time after you. So the Chief Census Office has surveyed a bunch of Kiwis

and they have found a whole lot of stats about misinformation in New Zealand, which is scary. It's a problem, especially in America at the moment and here. Not so much in our politics, but with COVID, yes. Yeah. And 5G conspiracies and all kinds of wacky stuff. So I was going to say, it's not just COVID. There is, and we live in our little bubble,

because the three like we don't the three of us don't believe in like these conspiracies so you don't realise how many people out there I don't believe in anything

you really don't crystals I don't believe in myself oh that's the saddest thing I've ever heard I don't believe in myself no don't believe in yourself because then when

something good happens you're like how did that happen life's fun every time life is all about having very low expectations, Megan. Of everyone and yourself. Everything and everything.

That is what has changed. Keep the bar low. That's how I've managed life so far and then I'm constantly amazed by people. That's the key to happiness. Yeah, by people and myself. Exactly. You never get sad about not meeting your expectations

because you didn't have any. It's the same when you go into a movie. This is going to be rubbish. And then it's surprisingly average and it's really nice. It's good. Yeah. Unless it's Fast and the Furious 9,

then it was exactly what you thought it was going to be. They fly a car in space. They do. It's actually been getting very good reviews, Vaughn. Suspension of disbelief. From who? Please, it's a movie. Yeah, I know.

But let's not forget at the start of the franchise, they just had fast cars. That was it. Had to evolve somewhere. That was absolutely it. So I've got a list of things and percentages of what Kiwis believe in. Okay. Some of these are going to blow your mind.

About a quarter of New Zealanders believe the virus behind COVID-19 of what Kiwis believe in. Okay. Some of these are going to blow your mind. About a quarter of New Zealanders believe the virus behind COVID-19 was created in a lab, despite there's no evidence to suggest that. Well, yeah, because China destroyed it all, didn't they? Uh-oh. We found out 25%. Uh-oh, we've got them. And a similar number think the dangers of it

have been exaggerated, despite there being millions of deaths. This is Kiwis. That number was about a quarter of New Zealanders. Most of them in the National Party too, aren't they? Oh, political. A bit political there for you guys, was it? I was actually just reading the next point.

Right, okay, next point. About 5% of Kiwis don't think vaccines work and or are unsafe. 5%? Yeah. Okay,'t think vaccines work and or are unsafe. 5%. Yeah. Okay. So what did I read yesterday? We have to get to a certain percent before. 83%?

Yeah. Herd immunity is going to be 83%. So we all need to get, the other 95% of us that believe vaccinations work because they do. That's why we don't have polio and scarlet fever and all of those other things. Yeah. We've got to get our vaccinations. Yeah.

So these 5% can be holier than thou about not being vaccinated, but we've reached herd immunity. Yeah, right. Fingers crossed. Please. Thank you. So then 8% said they believe the pandemic is used to force people to get vaccinated. 8%?

8%. Wow. That's a lot, isn't it? It is. Or did you think there'd be more or less? No, I'm surprised that 5% of people don't think vaccinations do their jobs, but then 8% think it's a way of forcing vaccinations and that 3% believe they work but don't want them.

Yeah. One in seven Kiwis think 5G is harmful to human health and another 32% are unsure. 32%. Despite there being zero... Doesn't 5G have less of everything than 3G used to have? I'm sure. I can't speak for it.

There is no evidence. Yeah. Yeah. That it... I'll tell you what, though. They're microwave noodles. When I'm watching YouTube on 5G, it's so fast. Oh my God, yeah.

I'm pro 5G. I'm pro 5G too. I don't care what it's doing to my brain or whatever. Just no buffering, eh? No buffering. Why wouldn't you like 5G? A little bit. This next one is very disappointing as well.

Up to 8% of New Zealanders don't think we've been told the truth about what happened in Christchurch on March 15. Don't believe we've been told the truth about what happened. That's 8% of New Zealanders. I've never heard that. What's the alternative to what we were told? 2% don't think it even happened at all. Oh, that's like, you know,

like in America, there's that whole, that Sandy Hook didn't happen. Oh, yeah, yeah. But then that was perpetrated by that Alex Jones dude, right? Oh, my God. That's crazy. People are nuts. Three quarters of Kiwis believe climate change is either definitely or probably true, with 15% skeptical and then the rest unsure.

I mean, look what's happening in America this last, like, few days. That is insane. In Canada, like, how hot it's been, like, it's melted all the snow. Yeah, and I will take this time to remind everybody when there's a 100-year weather event every two weeks at the moment. That's not how that's supposed to work. Those would be called two-week weather events. Yeah.

But the government's got the weather machine. They're making that. Ah, they. You're not understanding that. Is that what the 5G tower's for? Yeah. And that's why we all need the vaccine because the microchip creates the network. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

For the weather machine. Yeah. Which makes us think global warming's real. God, you're dumb sometimes, hey. These stats make me uncomfortable with you two having a laugh about this. I mean, we're being incredibly sarcastic. Yeah. Over, like, last year, and have you been paying attention when we were talking about how fun it would be to start a conspiracy,

but then thought about how also dangerous it is once it's out of your control? Yeah. Because that's the thing. Yeah. People start these conspiracies. I've always thought. There's been literally, what conspiracy was it? The guy who started.

QAnon. A conspiracy. Well, QAnon started as like a joke. And then that got out of hand because the guy lost the password to the QAnon account. And people have literally started them as like a social experiment to be like, oh, see how this got out of control. And people say, well, you would say that.

Yeah, because I've always thought that would be a fun documentary or an interesting documentary to start. No, don't say fun. You can't control it. It's like lighting a little fire and being like, well, fires are fun. Because even if you came out and said, look, here's me starting it, they'd be like, oh, you would say that. Yeah, you would say that.

You would say that. You didn't say that at the time. The media's got you. Yeah, exactly. It's crazy. Speaking of QAnon, 3% of Kiwis have a favourable view of QAnon. Oh, great. 3%?

3%. Wow. Oh, man. So they all go somewhere. And who was the problem again? Middle-aged white men. And your friends and family. It also says that people who believe or rely on social media for news

are less informed and are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. Right, when they're just on their pages that they belong to. Yeah, right. All your mates are sharing it around. Okay. Yeah. CDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. This will sound like a slight brag, and it is.

I don't wish to disguise that at all. But last night I said to Indy, do you have any homework? And she's like, no, we've done our assignments for the week already. So that's Wednesday. First half of the week. Got it done. She doesn't class, she said. Doesn't take after you.

You'd be doing that the day of. Oh, yeah, the morning of. I would have been too. Last minute touches on there. And I said, oh, give us a look about it. What is it about? And she said it's about cyberbullying and being safe online. I was like, well, that's cool.

That's nice. Did she use the lettering book? No, no, no, because they do it all in like PowerPoint presentations. They make slides and stuff. She'll never know the lettering book. Well, I told them about the lettering book and how there was a duck, and you'd also trace the duck. I don't know what you're talking about.

The lettering book. Oh, poor. Poor. No, just young. Gather round, children. My wife hears the lettering book and she's younger than you. No, she's not. We're the same age.

She's a year younger than you. No, she's not. No, you're the same age, but you're poor. You're just poor. You didn't have the lettering book. You're the same age as my sister. Old and decrepit. So the lettering book, oh, gather round. Gather round, children.

Gather round, children. Put up a comfortable stool. How do you not know what the lettering book is? Before computers, when you had to do your assignments, there was a lettering book, and each page was a different font. And there was capitals at the top and lowercase down the bottom. And for the really popular fonts it was different sizes and you'd trace the lettering oh no and then you'd go over it with a pen once you'd trace it no we just knew how to do our own block letters oh no no no it didn't now that's so nelson that's so nelson

it was absolutely present and throughout the lettering book the duck who was the lettering book mascot uh was doing different things. And so you'd just be like, wow, I'm tracing the letters. I'll trace the duck in. And then teachers were like, could everybody please stop tracing in the lettering book duck? Oh, everybody did the lettering book. Everyone's assignment looked the same.

Yeah, because the duck was doing a range of things. So if you were doing like one on sports, the duck would be kicking a soccer ball. Now, producer Jared has sent through a link, just as a side note, on the spinoff. Fantastic. People at the spinoff had done a tribute to the lettering book. Where they, oh, I remember that one.

Yeah. Oh, no, that was, yeah, you had too much time on your hand. Was that called Carnival? You had too much time on your hand. No, Fontanese. You were doing too much time on your hands. Stencil, bold. Yeah, these were good.

There's the duck. See, there's the duck. There's the duck. He's reading a book. If everybody could just stop, please. Please stop putting the lettering book duck in their assignments. Ms. Leeson was so pissed off when everybody next assignment went, we doubled down on the duck.

We made some sort of union agreement in the classroom and doubled down on the duck. Anna's telling us we're boomers. Unbelievable. No, we're not boomers. Boomers's telling us we're boomers. Unbelievable. No, we're not boomers. Boomers didn't have the lettering book. The boomers, the lettering book blew the boomers' minds.

My parents were like, oh, look at that. So you had to do block letters like Megan. They're just geriatric millennials. That's what they are. Geriatric millennials. So what were we talking about? Lettering book.

Step back. Oh, Andy will never know the lettering book. This is your story. I'll get back to it. I'll get back on track eventually. I'm glad we went down that path. I love a little lettering book chat. We were a train and we took the little side track

and we didn't know where it was going. And the scenic route. Well, now we've had to reverse back up the line to get on the main trunk line. The bridge is out. And you're very late.

The bridge is out. All right. Was it worth it? We're not sure. Back on track. It absolutely was. So I was looking at Indy's assignment on cyberbullying and being safe on the internet,

and each page was about a different thing. There was like a kid's messenger. There was a thing on Instagram. There was a TikTok page and one about Roblox, which is a game that I love playing at the moment. Nothing about LinkedIn. Interesting. Yeah, I'm not looking forward.

I'll be sure to add that as my critique. So, for example, the page on Roblox, Indy was like, I play Roblox with my friends. You don't add people you don't know to be your Roblox friend. My parents check my friends list to make sure I know everybody. Yeah. That was her thing. That's good.

Another girl in Indy's group, she was plagiarizing. Because hers was like, Roblox, a first-person game invented by blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, captures children's vivid imagination through the art of play oh she's copying she's copying pasted and he's like no she's just really smart i'm like uh no she's not she's copying and pasting and i was like this is how you know so then we highlighted it copied it and literally pasted it into google and press search and the actual paragraph came up i was like this is all good i said what you've done is, maybe tell, because this is a group project. You've finished early. You've got

time up your sleeve. Maybe we try to tell her to put that into her own words. The idea of it's good is an introduction, but she just can't copy and paste it. Tell her to dumb down the big words. Hello. Copy it from Wikipedia and then change the big words to dumb words. Go to shift F7, highlight the word, shift E7.

That's your thesaurus. And it'll give you a synonym and just choose a smaller word or one that you actually know what it means. And maybe spell a word wrong on purpose so they think you haven't copied it. Yeah. So then I was like, what else have we got? So I went back to the Instagram page and it is like, Instagram is where people share photos of their family and friends and pets,

and if people are mean to you, you block them so they can't see your photos. And Auntie Megan's always hawking Hello Food Bag or whatever it's called. Hello Food Bag. Hello Food Bag. Yeah. Tell Indy if she wants a discount code. Hello Food Bag Fresh. And Auntie Megan's code is 50% off. Yeah, and while I've got you, Indy if she wants a discount code. Hello Food Back Fresh. And Auntie Megan's code is 50% off.

Yeah. And while I've got you, Indy, Auntie Megan wants to know if you're fully insured. Are you up to date? Hashtag add. Do you have adequate insurance? So that was what Indy said about Instagram. Yep.

And the other one, again, plagiarized. Instagram in the essence of itself is not a evil service. In the essence of itself. People will use this service to demonize others. Like, oh, he's intense. Wow. I was like, do you even know what that means? Like, this is the thing about cheating.

I'm all for it. I'm all for shortcuts. Yeah, but you've got to. You're looking at a man who has literally made a life out of loopholes, shortcuts, and shall I say, creative passages. But you've got to make it believable that it came from a nine-year-old. I like that you've taught her about plagiarism at such a young age. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do it, by all means. Do it, by all means. But change the words. But do it smart. Yeah, you've got to be smart with your plagiarism. Play ZM's Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. A British man called Will has set a new world record. He lives in Solihull in England.

That's where Landrovers are from. Is it? I saw it. I was like, I know that word. And then I remembered it was written on my Land Rover. The Guinness World Record that he has beaten in Britain's third lockdown and just been like, I might give this a go, was stacking M&Ms. He made a pile of M&Ms.

He did this for hours and he was finally able to stack five M&Ms on top of each other with no other, with no outside support and no structure that he slowly removed from it. He literally put one down, then put another down, then put another down, then put another down. Because that was my question. That was my question. Could you just put five in between your thumb and index or little finger? They've got to be standing on their own accord,

balancing on their own accord. One at a time. Because I love the rock balancing when you go down south to some of the beautiful lakes there. Oh, yes, yes. And you see someone's made a pile of stones, and you're like, that's a bit neat. Beautiful.

It really must be a bit of a zen moment, stacking stones on top of each other like that. We have M&Ms in studio. In the last few minutes, I've managed to get one on top of another one. Yeah, one. Two's all I could manage. And then I try for the third and it wobbles off.

So I've got the video of him doing it, and he is stacking them on like a tiled bench top. So I think he might be able to get additional support underneath if he sat the bottom one in one of the crevices of the tiles where the grout goes. Is he? Yes, in one of the videos he is. Okay, now we've got some audio here from his attempt.

All right, this is going to be harder than I first thought. Four. Oh, no. Here we go. Five M&Ms. Five M&Ms. I wonder if he went for six. 400 and something days of lockdown and he's managed to get five M&Ms on top five M&M's. I wonder if he went for six. 400 and something days of lockdown and he's managed to get five M&M's on top of each other.

Yeah. I'm proud of him. Apparently he just sat down and did it on one day though. Two, I've got two. Yeah, I think if you kept going. But then also over time. I also think you've got to pick out your M&M's too because some M&M's have got a slightly flatter top on them. That's what I was going to say.

They're not actually all perfectly the same shape. Also, do you think freezing the M&Ms would help you? Because over time they get warm, right? No, I think that's cheating because they get a little dewy. Yeah.

They probably stick into each other better. Yeah, they might. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I found a good base one. That brown one's a good base. That green one's a good base one. What's your best base one?

Because I reckon if we combine our best base ones and I reckon like that one's got see how this one's got too much of a bend on the top. No, they all look the same when you hold them up side by side. What if you heat them slightly and apply pressure on them?

Like, micro-raise them for five seconds and then just squish it down a little bit. Maybe just with a hot finger, just hold a hot finger on top and it would just flatten it ever so slightly. So is this a good time waster, though? Because, like, I could be here for hours. I know right. Is this a Guinness record?

Yes officially recognised by the Guinness. By the folks at Guinness. Okay that totally worked. I just put a hot thumb on the top and now those two are sitting each other. Did you squish it a little bit? Do you reckon he was thumbing it? I reckon he was thumbing it in. Did you squish it a little bit? No there's no squish thumbing it? I reckon he was thumbing it in. Did you squish a little bit?

No, there's no squish marks on it. You're just hating it. Just a bit of pressure under the flat thumb. Oops, squished that one. That was too much pressure. Oh, I've got two in a row now. Yeah, we've all done two. Three is the... And it's wonky though.

That's the problem when I put the next one on. And then you're like, do you need to counterbalance with the third one? But then it just. I'm over. I'm done with this now. I'm going to eat these now. I'm going to eat these. Yeah, I think I would eat a packet of M&M's before I got five in a row.

The amazing thing is you played with them for so long, I didn't eat them. Yeah. ZM's Fleshborn and Megan. Play ZM. Who would like to know when you've dropped a celebrity name? Because someone in the studio loves to do it. This was bullshit. He loves to do it.

Repeat offender. This is not true. So what happened was I'm wearing my Pikachu shirt today, and this was the shirt I was wearing when we interviewed Ed Sheeran, and Ed Sheeran said, I love your Pikachu t-shirt. Ed Sheeran said that. Did he say Ed Sheeran? Music when we interviewed Ed Sheeran and Ed Sheeran said, I love your Pikachu t-shirt. Ed Sheeran said that. Did he say Ed Sheeran? Music global superstar, Ed Sheeran.

Who just yesterday was hanging out with Prince Harry. Prince William. Prince, no, and Harry wasn't at the England game, was he? No, not the England game. There was a charity thing and Ed Sheeran was there performing. Was he because he was at this England-Germany football game with Prince William? Oh, my gosh. He's really getting around the princes.

He's right in there with the Royals. And he said your T-shirt was nice. He loved my T-shirt. You know, when I wore this T-shirt for the first time, when I bought this Pikachu T-shirt, lots of people, lots of compliments. And then today, this morning, when I stopped for gas on the way to work, because it was like yesterday it was empty and I was almost home, and I was like, I'm not stopping now.

This is a problem for future me to worry about. I just want to get home. And so this morning I had to stop for gas and there was somebody else filling up at the petrol station and they said,

I love your t-shirt. And I said, thanks, so did Ed Sheeran because I didn't know what to say. So did my friend Ed Sheeran. Because it was early.

It was early and this person said, hey, I like your t-shirt because I don't know, they were driving a truck so presumably they'd been on the road for a bit. Maybe they were coming towards the end of their day. But I'm like just starting to function. Right.

And I like your shirt. I was like, ah, thanks. And I looked at them and I was like, so did Ed Sheeran. My friend, did I tell you I know Ed Sheeran? They look at me like, okay, man. And I'm like, why did you say that? Why did I say that?

I just needed something to reply to. Right, okay. And it's fresh in my mind that he liked the Pikachu t-shirt. You didn't feel like you just wanted to call in. And then I came to work and I told these guys, which I immediately regretted because I thought the phone would be like, what piece of clothing do you have that gets lots of compliments? Yeah.

But they would rather, I don't know, make me the bad guy. And make it more about gratuitous name dropping. I just love a story of a gratuitous name drop. Someone's like, I know this person. It's like when Vaughn comes in, he's like, so I was talking to my best friend, Ursula Carlson, because I do this TV show. I don't know if you guys know, but I'm on TV. No, I say, Ursula, when I'm telling a story, blah, blah, blah, Ursula.

And you're always like, oh, who? Who? I'm like, oh, Ursula. Ursula who? I'm like, oh, here we go. But it's just like I'm just giving it context for the person that told me the story. So 0800-DARLS-IT-M. We want to take your calls this morning.

You can text as well, 9696. Do you have a friend that loves a celebrity name drop? I don't love a celebrity name drop. I just love that you get so woke up about it. I wouldn't even consider it a celebrity name drop. You're just like so annoyed that people would think that you would do that. Yeah. I was talking to Simon Dallow about this recently.

My friend newsreader Simon Dallow. You might know him. Simon Dallow and I sat down for a good chat about this. You were like, let me ask my friend Hilary Barry. She'll definitely

weigh in on this. I'm seeing Hilary later today because we're back in the Have You Been Paying Attention studio. Yeah. I'll see Hilary.

Jeremy Wells will be there. I'll ask him for his opinion on it. Yeah. So 0800-DARZEN, give us a call. Maybe you've been roasted for dropping

a celebrity's name, but it's better if you rag on your friends. Do you have a friend that has dropped a celebrity's name before? 0800 Diles.am 9696. Maybe you could message Jacinda Ardern and see what she thinks about it. Your friend? I went to school with the Prime Minister. A message.

Oh, hold on, hold on. Jacinda, can we get Megan's husband deported? Just to teach this bitch a lesson of who not to mess with. It's the Marsmore Mafia. Well, this morning at the service station, Vaughan just name-dropped Ed Sheeran because he got a compliment from Ed Sheeran. No, I panicked.

I don't know how to reply to the person. I like your T-shirt, man. Yes, so did Ed Sheeran. So did Ed Sheeran. My friend. Sarah, who's name dropping? My husband. Okay.

Who's he name dropping? A few people. Simon Barnett. Okay. Jason Gunn, Mike Hero, Kieran Reid. God, all the Christchurch A. Christchurch A-list. Christchurch Royal Flush. Right. Yes. How's he name-dropping

them? How does he know them? He goes to their places for work, their houses. Oh, okay, right. And are you just like, alright, wah, wah. Calm down. I know, I know. Although he sometimes often says, oh yeah, I know. Although sometimes I'm often saying,

oh yeah, I was talking to Simon Barnett today. Brilliant, I love it. Sarah, thanks for your call. Lani, who's your partner name-dropping? Oh, it's not my partner, it's my best friend. She name-drops my partner. Well, not name-drops, but every time we introduce my partner, she's like, yeah, actually, you might know her.

She's Jasmine Pereira. She played football for New Zealand. Yeah, she went to the Olympics. She's an Olympian. No, she's an Olympian. She's an Olympian. That's your partner. They can't be getting in on that.

That's for you to brag about. Yes, I know. I know. She tells everybody everything about me. It's like, yeah, everything that I achieved is her achievement. That's kind of nice, though. She's proud of you. Yeah, she is.

And more proud of my partner. Like, I'm proud of myself. Good. Nice. Thanks, Lani. Brilliant. Some text messages. Our manager at work, Nick, went to a business breakfast and Grant Robinson was there.

Grant Robinson, finance minister. Finance minister business breakfast and Grant Robinson was there. Grant Robinson, finance minister. Finance minister, yep. Deputy Brunner. We actually saw Grant Robinson at the airport, didn't we, that time? I had a chat to him. Why don't you stop short of saying Koru Club there? You're trying to seem like everyday man. We saw Grant Robinson at the Koru airport. At the Koru airport, yeah.

Koru airport. Yep. He came back and he said to his aide, all the hash bites are gone. And I looked at a plate loaded with hash bites and I was like, can't have any of my hash bites. He was trying to get your hash bites. You goddamn socialist. Yeah.

Keep your communist hands on my hash bites. I'm accumulating hash bites. You can buy some off me. Capitalist scum. So they went to a business breakfast with Grant Robertson, his manager, Nick. And after this meeting, Grant Robertson's name has been dropped approximately 50 times the following week. 50 times. Wow, okay.

It's a politician name drop. Yeah. I know Brendan McCullum well through the thoroughbred industry. And everyone calls him Baz. And he said, just call me Baz. It's my nickname. Yeah. I know Brendan McCullum well through the thoroughbred industry. Oh, yeah. And everyone calls him Baz and he said, just call me Baz. It's my nickname. Yep.

So I was talking to my sister and mentioned Baz and she said, who? And I was like, oh, Brendan McCullum. And she has never let me live it down that I thought I was on nickname basis

with cricket legend Brendan McCullum. Baz. Baz. And Brendan McCullum. Facts. Give me a kiss, my boy. We're so young, boy. We ain't got nothing to lose. Oh, oh. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, MBIE, they are currently chasing some 14,000 people who have not paid their managed isolation fees.

So that would mean that those people haven't stayed in New Zealand because you don't have to pay if you stay, right? Correct. Since August it's been in place requires returnees who do not qualify for a fee waiver to pay at least $3,100 towards their stay if they come into the country for less than 180 days.

The Ministry has collected $50 million to date, but again, this would not be cheap to facilitate. This is not a profiting situation. 67% of returnees paying on time, but there are 14,197 invoices that haven't been sent out. That's 23% because the ministry hasn't been able to confirm their contact details or if they're liable to pay.

Give a fake name when you land in the country. But you can't. You've got to use your passport. I haven't done it. I don't know anything about the managed isolation facilities because you'd think your name would be the same and your contact. You're using official documentation to sign in. But then a name, would that be against your passport?

Is there a post? You land in the future and they're like, by the way, you owe us three grand from the last time. If they can track your student loan when you try to get out of the country or get back into the country, they'll be able to have a little baby beside your name when you come back next time from England

because it got too cold over winter and you chose to live overseas in a pandemic. And you just want to come back for three weeks still. It's wild that you see all the news stories and people are like, I can't get back in. There's no places in MIQ. And yet there are like, I know so many people that have come back for like a month holiday because they live in England or whatever and they've managed to get in and out.

And it's crazy, right? Yeah. How long in advance are they booking those? It's hard. Like, they're months out they can be booked. Right.

The spots. I have a guy working in a diamond mine in Sierra Leone, which I'm pretty sure is where that Blood Diamond movie was set, right?

With Leonardo DiCaprio doing his South African accent. Yeah. I've been down the hole getting the diamonds. Bro, I couldn't trust myself to work in a diamond mine because I'd find one

and then I'd put it in my air hole or something. Oh, that's a good idea. Don't put it in your air hole. Don't put anything in your air that's smaller than your elbow. Or I'm going to smuggle it out. You'll see.

I'll put it up in my gums. Up in there. Stick it to some chewing gum. No, because you could swallow it. Have a fake tooth. Have a fake tooth. Have it so it pops out. It's hollow.

Why have we gone onto this? Anyway, so. But that's probably a pretty solid idea. And then, so the guy was working in the diamond mines and he's like, I can't get a spot in Managed Isolation. I've got holidays coming up. I can't stay here. It's like.

I'm sorry, what? Smuggle some diamonds out. I reckon you could find a nice place to stay. A nice Airbnb for a few weeks. I am the box. The box. Inside the box and studio is $20,000 cash. Now, we need you to give us the correct four-digit pin number

to win that cash. You get all the cash inside, that four-digit pin. We know there's a seven in there, and we know that it spells a four letter word and that that word appears in the trailer for Marvel Studios Black Widow which is in cinemas July 8th

streaming on Disney Plus with premiere access July 9th. Conditions apply. And that's a week today because today by the way the first of July. It's July. Yeah that's nuts. Joining us with a guess. Ali, you've managed to get through. Good morning.

Morning. Okay, so have you poured over the clues? Yes. I actually even had a dream about this last night, which is mental. That's crazy. You had a dream about it, and then you get through today.

Oh, man. Because now if you win, you can totally set up your own psychic business. Did you win in your dream? Well, I'm not sure. And in my dream, it was this really random word, which I'm not guessing today. So I might regret that. Oh, okay.

So you're not even using the word. No. Oh. But does that word have a seven in it? That guess? No. And that's why I'm like, maybe not. Okay.

And so you won. So what else happened in your dream? You won, and then what happened? No, I don't remember if I did win in my dream, but I remember, yeah. All your teeth fell out, and then you were back at school with no pants on. Or in that elevator that's going through the roof or falling. The elevator's just flying in every direction like it's Charlie's glass elevator. Ali, what do you want to try?

What pin? What pin? What word? So the word is soon, which has already been guessed, but I'm going to do it with zeros instead of O's. So that ends up being 7006. Now, so that's in the trailer because the movie is coming soon? Yeah. Okay.

And then how does it relate to yesterday's eyes, the eye, the visual clue of somebody's eyes? Yeah, it doesn't really relate to that. Okay. See, the eyes can be two zeros. Yeah. Oh, yeah, the eyes can be two zeros. I mean, that sounds like a stretch.

I did say that when the eye thing came out, I said that to my husband. Like, if you say look, then that's got two O's, right? And so does soon. So, yeah, it kind of relates, I guess. Okay. Okay, so we're going to try soon with two O's instead of, two zeros instead of two O's.

So, 7-0-0-6. Yeah. There's your seven. There's your zero. There's your zero. And there's your six. Let's press enter. Oh, no. There's your zero. And there's your six. Let's press enter. Oh, no!

It's not. There's always next time. Unfortunately, Ali, you miss out on the $20,000 cash, but you do get a double pass to Marvel Studios' Black Widow, and Georgia has the next shot midday, and then Brian Clint this afternoon at four and five. Hey, you on the phone, I bet I can guess your mum's name.

Well, Vaughan Smith, an absolute winning hot streak for 2021. I think you've got, what, three wrong the whole year? Yeah. And we're halfway through the year. I reckon you're at like 85% success rate.

I don't know the percentages. It'll be up there. That means if I've got three wrong, that means I've got 15 right. Now, I don't think we've done it 18 times. God, you're good at maths. Yeah, that was pretty quick. Well, that was just easy. I just did my five times table. All right.

Well, Vaughn has five questions about someone's mum. Let's meet, and then 15 seconds to guess that mum's name. Let's meet the daughter of the mother. Good morning, Sian. Good morning. Sian, am I saying that right? Or Sian? Or Sian.

No, it's Sian, that's right. Sian. Okay, Sian. Vaughn's got five questions about your mum. Go for it, Vaughan. And I write down names as we go. What month is your mother born in? What is her birth month?

Oh, why is that going to help you? She's born in November. Ah, yes. Okay. Does that help? Does that help? She may very well be a Mary. Do you know a Mary that's born in November?

Sure do. So I base it all on. It's like a Scorpio. We have, Megan, we've scoffed at Vaughan's techniques before and he's nailed it. So I'm hesitant to scoff. Not always a Scorpio. What's the other one that can be in November? Sagittarius?

A Sagis? Do you know if your mum's a Saggie or a Scorpie? She's Sagittarius. She's a Saggie. I told you it could be a Saggie. Saggie, okay. Alright, add that to the list. Does that count as a question? Suzanne the Saggie. Okay.

Or Jane. Jane the Saggie. Sally the Saggy. Okay, I'm going to put Sally. Okay. What is your mum's favourite pet? It would have to be dogs. She's got three little white fluffy slippers.

Oh, like Bichons or something. Yuck. They always age in the eyes, don't they, Bichons? White dogs always age in the eyes because their eyes get a bit of that leaky stuff, and then they've always got the stain around their eye, and they look older than they should. Yeah, right. Yeah.

I'll be up here in my ivory tower of youthfulness looking down on fluffy dogs being like, you look older than you are. Okay, little white dogs. Do you know any mums with little white dogs? Because that's what you do, yeah. Just think about what you know. People my mum knows or people that are mothers that have little

white dogs. Yeah, well, Auntie Pat used to have one, so I'm going to put Pat. Auntie Pat. She used to have one. She's my great Auntie Pat. to have one So I'm going to put Pat Auntie Pat She used to have one She's my great Auntie Pat She's genuinely One of the coolest people

She choked on a pea once When we were growing up A hard pea Or a soft pea No we were picking peas In my grandparents garden And she was like Here's the trick

They're more delicious now So you pop them out of the pot And then you save one for yourself. And she went Auntie Pat! I went whack on her back as like a seven year old. Oh my god, you saved Auntie Pat's life. Yeah, and I had a night terror when I was staying at my grandparents the same time

Auntie Pat was staying there and she calmed me during a night terror. How did Auntie Pat joke on a pea? She inhaled it. It went down her breathing hole, not the food hole. Because she sucked it out of the pod. Have you ever picked a pea out of the pod? Sometimes it's got a little stalk on it.

You've got to give it a little bit of extra, a little bit of this to get it out of the pea. And it just went straight in. And then she looks at me and she's like, didn't you plummet? Oh, thank God. She's still alive. No, she's still alive and kicking. Surprisingly.

She must be clocking 90 too. I'll have to check with Marlene. Well, don't give her any peas. Because that's my Irish family that live forever. That's why I'm like, who cares? I'll drink every night. I'm going to live forever. Because Uncle Graham, he's like 98. He's still kicking.

He enjoys a whiskey every night. You'll be unbearable if you get to 98. He's still kicking. He enjoys a whiskey every night. You'll be unbearable if you get to 98. He used to drive a Mercedes. Anyway, enough about my mum's family. Back to you. Back to yours. Is it a Mel? Is it a Tina?

She inhaled a pee. She's all right, though. She's a little bit of a tail. She had a boyfriend. Auntie Pat had a boyfriend.

Did she? Yeah, his name was Jack, and he drove an old Leyland. He passed away, and she got another boyfriend. Really? There's no stopping Auntie Pat. I think we should all take a leaf over to Auntie Pat's. Yeah, right. I want to check to Auntie Pat.

Now I'm just thinking about other... She's really great. I think you'd really like... How are these boyfriends disappearing? She was killing them. And getting the inheritance each time. Keep a long life. Okay.

What's your mum's siblings' names? I've written down a few names there while we were jostling about Auntie Pat's sexual prowess. Yeah. So, her brother's name is Wayne and her sister's name is Robin. Oh, okay. Wayne and Robin, okay. My mother-in-law's a Robin. Okay.

She hasn't met Auntie Pat. My dad's a Wayne. Yeah. So now I'm thinking of people like names around. But also my mother-in-law doesn't have any siblings. She was an only child. Okay. Explains a lot.

Okay, okay. That. Explains a lot. Okay. Okay. That's somebody else I know. Poor only children. Do you think every day they hear explains a lot? Yes. Totally do. Totally do.

Carwin explains a lot. We recently found out Carwin's an only child. Carwin on the social media desk. And a vegan. Who absolutely is, you're genuinely a very lovely person. But the minute she said it, I was like, explains a lot. It's classic banter. I'm going to chuck a Tracy, that's for sure. Okay.

All right, last question. What's your mum's favourite fruit? Oh, goodness. Camarillo, tree tomato. Oh, yum. Tamarillo, tree tomato. Oh, yum. That's so niche. That's very niche. No, that's good.

Are they very New Zealand? Where are they from, Tamarillo? They're like a tomato. What are they crossed between? No, they're completely different. They're not crossed between a tomato. They're like a bettery tomato taste. They're like a better-y tomato taste. I'd love a Tamarillo.

Like a tomato-y Fijoa. Yuck. You know who loves a Tamarillo? Vicky. Do you reckon? I feel like Amanda loves this. Okay. All right.

Yeah. I want to go Jim. No, Jim's too old. Jim's too old. Get out of my head, Jim. Get out of my head. Get out of my head. You're not a Jack.

You're not a Jim. I don't feel J's on it at all today. I feel like Paul was closest. So you're thinking P's. What about... Paul Jackson. That wasn't his name. That wasn't Lee's husband's name. I feel like Paul was closest. So you're thinking P's. What about... Paul Jackson. That wasn't his name.

To Aunty Pat Oh my god Great Aunty Pat I'm going to get in touch With Aunty Pat Now that's really Made me feel like You should reach out

To someone in your life That you haven't talked to For a while Aunty Pat Like a great Aunty Have I just turned up At her house Do you know what

She wouldn't even know who I was. Her new boyfriend had probably grabbed a shotgun and shoot you. She'd be like, you're not trading me in for this guy.

Next on the show. It was a birthday request. Yeah. Somebody said, yeah, I'll tell you the whole story of how I was showed up by Ludacris next.

Play. ZM's Flesh, Va Ludacris next. It's going back a few weeks now. I got a message on Instagram from Richard, and Richard said, hey, my partner Demi's birthday is coming up. She's turning 30 years old. She really wanted to have this birthday overseas, but I don't know if you've heard there's a pandemic. And I was like, for a start, if you believe that you're an idiot. No, I'm not even joking about that. I said, well, that sucks. And she listens to your podcast every day. She listens to the show.

Would you just be able to flick her a quick video message saying happy birthday, Demi. I said, I can do that. Absolutely. I was in the paddock at the time, so the video was me, real grubby, because I'd been mowing the lawns and stuff, and I had mud on my face, and then the goat was out there with me and wouldn't leave me alone, so the goat featured in the video, and I sent it through, and Richard's like, thanks heaps. And I also mentioned that I had a Gallagher electric fence unit, because she works at Gallagher's. Oh, right, okay. I found this out by clicking on her profile, and then seeing she worked at Gallagher's. Oh, right. Okay. I found this out by clicking on her profile and then saying she worked at Gallagher's.

So I did a bit of background research. Yeah. And this was her birthday present. 100%. So then yesterday I get tagged. I hope she got something else. Oh, she did. I got tagged in a notification.

I got tagged. I got a notification that I've been tagged on something on the Instagram. And so I clicked on it and it was my ugly mug saying, hey, Demi, happy birthday. And I was like, oh, okay. And then I could see that Demi had also posted a whole lot of other dots at the top. Right. And that's when I thought, who else did Richard ask? So I present to you the list of people that Richard also got to wish Demi a happy birthday. Hey, Demi, how many times do you turn 30? Only once.

Happy birthday to you. And you should really thank Richard because he's a thoughtful dude in order to have me do this for you. And also on top of that as an added bonus, we're going to show you a sneak peek of F9. That's ludicrous. Oh my god. You know, internationally recognized rapper and now movie's ludicrous. Oh my God. That's, you know, internationally recognised

rapper and now movie star ludicrous. Yeah, and astronaut. And car driving enthusiast astronaut ludicrous who knows Vin Diesel and Tyrese Gibson who's, by the way,

43 years old just on a quick Google. Then there's an extended period of Fast and the Furious 9, a preview. Then, um... Happy 30th birthday. Yeah, that's me. G'day, mate.

Happy birthday. Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah. There's treats. Then I don't know who this guy is, but he's – so then I did some Googling. I found out he's a big deal too. He's off – Happy 30th, Demi. How are you?

This guy's off Vanderpump Rules. Jax Taylor from Vanderpump Rules. It doesn't look like it's going to be possible this year. I hope. So then I'm like, oh, okay. Oh, there's more dots. Who else is on there? It's Captain Lee from that Bravo TV show, Below Ditch.

Oh, Captain Lee. All the best, kids. He struggles with them all. I'm saving the best one. Then there's, I don't know if you guys have ever seen it on Discovery Channel, there's a show that features this guy called Chip Foose, and he does up cars. He takes cars, and he's like,

so he sent her a message talking about the car, about cars, and then, oh, who's this, second to last? Oh, it's, hold on, listen, you'll find out. Hey, Demi, what's up? It's Mr. X to the Z exhibit. Exhibit. Wow. With you alli, what's up? It's Mr. X to the Z exhibit. Exhibit. Wow. With you all, but I hope you had the most amazing.

And then I'll rewind to what I think is the piece a la resistance, the original voice of Pumba from the animated Lion King. Birthday! Are you aching for some bacon? Acuna, batata? Oh, and he's singing. What a wonderful phrase. Are you aching for some bacon? Hakuna Matata Oh, and he's singing. What a wonderful phrase Oh my God.

Hakuna Matata Ain't no passing craze It means no worries For the rest of your days It's all problem free Philosophy Oh my God. Hakuna Matata And then he wishes you like happy birthday i'll

rewind you um to what i thought was pretty cool content say happy birthday happy birthday so you were the shittest one on there out of all of them you were beaten by ludacris and Exhibit and Pumba. And three reality TV stars. And you would have been free too, because all the other ones they would have paid for on Cameo. How much is Ludacris pocket office? I'm on Cameo now.

So Cameo, if you didn't know, is a website where you can actually get celebrities to give you video messages. Use Payton. Ludacris is an enter to win to promote Fast and the Furious 9, F9. So you can't actually pay. So he must have actually won that

Ludacris message. That's pretty cool. So now my provisor's gonna be like, yeah, sure, who else are you doing? Okay, so exhibit is 200 US dollars for a message. Yeah, but he's got a huge tax bill, eh?

I might have to start charging. I don't know how my tax is coming up this year. I don't know. A big GST bill. That Ernie guy, the voice of Pumba in The Lion King, he's $55. That's money well spent. That's good money.

But yeah, pretty crazy. But then they had dropped a bit of coin to get those people. I mean, not you, but. Look, if she works at Gallagher's, I'll happily be paid in Gallagher's. I need some new standards, another electric fence unit. Happy birthday. That was. There's my girl.

It was humbling. ZDM's Fletchborn and Megan. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about, at the moment, the NBA playoffs are happening. Go the Bucs. You got this. I believe in you.

That's a team I started supporting only because they had a deer as a mascot. And I like deers the best. Yeah, and you got a hat, but then you don't even watch the games. I watch the highlights. Much more time efficient way to watch basketball. So much stopping and starting. And that's also why I support the Timberwolves. I know they're not a great team, but they're a wolf.

So that's cool mascot. You like wolves, yeah. Yeah. That's why I support the Baltimore Ravenwolves. I know they're not a great team, but they're a wolf. So that's cool, Asghar. Yeah. That's why I support the Baltimore Ravens and the NFL because I was watching The Wire and someone's like, have you ever watched NFL? So that's set in Baltimore and I started supporting them as well. There's no real logic to any team I support. Like a five-year-old in an adult's body.

Yeah. Thank you. Where's my juice box? So you may have noticed usually when basketball teams are playing at home, in home games, they wear white. I haven't noticed that. So if they're playing away, generally they wear their colors. If they're playing at home, they're more likely to wear white. And that is based in the fact that if they're playing at home,

back in the day, this is an old tradition, they were more likely to have laundry services at their disposal. And so white would be a contrasting colour to the other team. There's no team's base colour is kind of like white. That's to be avoided. But if they were playing at home, they were more likely back in the day to be able to wash their own uniforms or have a team like washing room where they could do all the washing.

Whereas if people were playing away. And they'd play a few games in a row because they're on the road. Exactly. The dark colours would hide all matter of sins. Like sweat and stuff. They'd just give them like an earring out and they could start using them again.

That would make sense for like rugby or NFL, but like basketball. Yeah. You're not getting grass stains. Diving on the ground or anything. So football and hockey, football especially, where it would get grubbier, that's where you're travelling, you play in a lighter uniform, and apparently that is different again because they had trouble selling, at a home game,

when you want people all wearing the gear, they had trouble selling the white clothes to football fans. Oh, yeah. Because I'm guessing they're like grubby buggers who are dropping food on themselves constantly. So the darker, in football and ice hockey, darker is worn at home. Whereas in NBA, the tradition is that lighter is worn at home

because you would have had laundry services in your hometown. Yeah, right. There is the odd exception to that rule, but on the most hand, it's because it's closer to home. So today's fact of the day is if people are wearing white when they're playing a home game in sports like the NBA, it's because back in the day they would have had better laundry services because they could have washed them at home.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. so hard we will not get a single call for. Now, this started when you were away, Megan, and I said, I don't believe anyone would have ever made an emergency landing on something that wasn't a runway. And did they? Oh, my God. They did. It really made me scared.

And I'm not a nervous flyer, but there was a lot of emergency landings. I'm so glad I didn't hear that. What was the last one we did, the impossible phone-in topic? I was here for it, and I don't remember. Something had been left inside you. Oh, that's right.

Oh, yeah. Medical procedures. Today's is kind of medical as well. Okay. You may have seen this guy because it was in 2016 that he got his new heart, but he's spoken again recently about life before the new heart, post having his last heart removed so he got a heart transplant two years he got a heart transplant but there was two years where

he had no heart they took his heart out and then okay you can't live without a heart he had a 13 pound artificial heart strapped to his back that he carried around 13 13 pounds? For two years. What's that, like, seven, six and a half kgs? Yeah. Oh, my God. And so I don't know if I trust myself to, like, look after my heart

in a backpack. Yeah. Yeah, so... The artificial heart. Yeah, you had to charge it and everything. Oh, my God. I can't even charge my iPhone

before I go out for a big night, let alone a heart. Yeah, sometimes you haven't, like, plugged it in properly or whatever, and you're like, oh, sometimes you haven't plugged it in properly or whatever and you're like, oh, it's not charged in the morning. I think when your heart's in your backpack,

you're not so much thinking about big nights. I think you're just having it through the day. Because the other night, I put my charger between the phone case and the phone and I was like, it's charging. And then I woke up and there was like 2% left. I was like, phew. The alarm still went off. Get a little bit of charge.

It'll save enough battery to go on the alarm go off, even if it goes flat. Oh, does it? That's good to know. Will your heart do that as well? No. Probably not, no. Okay, so what is the impossible phone-in topic from this?

This guy not having a heart. Have you lived without an essential organ for any period of time? But wait, what's an essential organ? Well, any of them. Any of the ones that you know the name of. What's that one that you've got two of that you can give? So you could ring up. But no kidneys.

You have to have no kidneys. There's lots of people who are up and running with half kidney function. Are you sure? No, but they may have just been like, I was between. Kidneys. They removed it. I was between kidneys. I spent it. I was between kidneys. I spent two weeks of my life between kidneys.

Because that's what dialysis does, right? Nobody's going to ring up. That dialysis machine does it. And they may have had to stay in hospital. Right. No one's going to ring up because they will be dead. But that's why it's called the impossible. No, no, they just would have been in hospital for some period of time.

Like artificial heart or dialysis. Okay. What else is it? Maybe you didn't get to carry it around in the hospital for some period of time. Like artificial heart or dialysis. Okay. Maybe you didn't get to carry it around in the backpack, but maybe you stayed in hospital for like a couple of weeks on the artificial heart machine that they have in there. Okay, well, it's the impossible. Lungs, maybe you didn't have lungs. What do you use instead of that?

A machine. A machine. Oh, okay. A lung machine. Well, the impossible phone-in topic, 0800-DARLS-AT-M. You can text as well, 9696. Have you lived without an essential organ? I mean...

Good luck on this one. There's the impossible phone-in topic, a topic we think so hard we may not get any calls on. Yes. There's some contention here. Oh, yeah, lots of people saying, my ex lived without a brain. Yes There's some contention here Oh yeah Lots of people saying My ex lived without a brain

My ex was heartless Which may be a fair point And we could totally Have you on here to Rip your ex to shreds That sounds fun But it's not what The Impossible Phone and Topics

It's against the rules It's against the rules Stan was 25 When he got his new heart in 2016. He's recently talked about what it was like and how life's going five years later. Okay. But he also talked about the fact that for two years, he rocked around with a 13-pound artificial heart strapped to his back. So for two years of his life, he was functioning without a heart.

That's amazing. Now, we are getting messages in, but you don't think they make the cut? You want essential organs, right? Well, yeah, because if you make it too easy, it's not the impossible finding topic. Not that it wouldn't be something to have your thyroid removed because lots of people have had their thyroid removed, but we have checked

the thyroid and technically a gland. Not an organ. Not an organ. So we're not accepting glands, is that what you're saying? We're not accepting glands. Because then we'll have every Tom, Dick and Harry that's had some glands removed calling in. And that won't be impossible.

Oh no, you don't have your ball bags removed. I've still got both of my throat My throat Throat wax My tonsils are alive and well Thank you Alright well the impossible The impossible phone and topic

We'll see if we can complete it next It's the impossible phone and topic It's the impossible phone and topic A man lived without a heart For two years. There was an artificial heart in a box on his bag. In a backpack. In a backpack.

And we want to know this morning, the impossible phone and topic. Have you lived without an essential organ? I'm a doctor. Someone text messaged her. Oh, okay. This phone and topic's insane. Also, the thyroid is definitely an organ, as is the skin. I'm sorry, doctor, but we Wikipedia'd it and they said gland.

Go back to med school. Don't trust doctors. No, I think what, I think, doctor, speaking to the doctor listener now, I think what we're after is people that have lived, like you could have your thyroid removed but still be fine, right? We want you living without an essential organ. Where do we sit on spleens? Not essential.

Not essential. Can't live without. I Googled it. Very good for the immune system, but can't live without. Look, Doctor, it's our impossible phone-in topic. We make the rules.

I Googled it, Doctor. This is our hospital, Doctor. Get out of here with your science. You're in Guatemala now, Dr. Ropata. Your degree. Welcome to my hospital. Peter, good morning. Good morning, guys.

How are you all doing? Good, thank you. Oh, we're arguing with doctors, Peter. Your argument sounds totally right. Thank you. Thank you. Now, this was your son that lived without an organ. That's right.

So my son, when he was born, had a condition called gastroschisis. Gastroschisis. This is where you go to a gastro pub after a big day of skiing. You get gastro. That's right, Aaron. Tummy, right? You get some...

Oh my god! I've just googled it. I didn't spell it right. Google's like, do you mean gastroschisis? I'm like, yes, thank you, Google. Hit me, doctor. Wow. Okay. You say what it is, Peter.

Okay, cool. So essentially it's when your bowel is born on the outside of the person's body. Wow. So his stomach and his bowels and intestines were on the outside through a hole through his stomach. And so essentially they put surgery in the beginning of his life, put it all back into his stomach cavity. And then, yeah, during that time, they bypassed the stomach and bowels from not being used

with a special formula of nutrients required for that child. So it's tailor-made for each child. Wow. Yeah. And how is he now, Peter? nutrients required for that child. So it's tailor-made for each child. Wow! And how is he now, Peter? Oh, dude, he's absolutely fine. We got the best case scenario for him. Right. And so he's a happy, healthy 8-year-old boy

turning 9 in about 6 days. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, and happy birthday for his 9th. Wow! So for a while he lived without the essential organ of the stomach and intestines and that whole digestive system. Has the doctor texted in his answer? Is that suitable enough for the doctor?

No, the doctor has apologised. Good, good. I'm very sorry for doubting you all. I stand corrected. That's what I like to see in a doctor. Easy to roll with my own opinion on what's wrong with me. Thank you, doctor. And thank you, Peter.

What an incredible story. Phenomenal story. We'll go to Claire. Claire, have you lived without an essential organ for a time? For a brief moment, I was getting a C-section, having my second son, and the surgeon decided to pull out my uterus and show everyone in the room because it's a heart-shaped uterus. No, but, um...

You're awake. Did you hear... I'm awake. I could see it, and the cameras were out. We were taking photos. Wait, so you've got a photo of your uterus outside of your body? I do have a photo of my uterus. Did he ask, can I pull your heart-shaped uterus outside of your body. I do have a cell of my uterus. Did he ask? Can I pull your heart-shaped uterus out to show everyone? No, he didn't ask.

And I still remember it so clearly to this day. It happened about four years ago. Oh, my God. If the doctor's still listening to the show, the one doctor that listens to the show, text him a couple of times. I would just like, that's your warning,

always ask if it's okay to remove the uterus to show the room before you just remove the uterus. I would have expected to be asked. When you say removed, is it still attached

to like a bungee stringy cord thing? Oh, right, okay. It's like he was hanging out, you know, clothes on a clothesline for everyone to see. Now, I don't know

if we can accept that clear because it was still... It was outside of the body but it was still connected, wasn't it? And it's also not essential. You can get that removed. No, you can't live without it, but essential to the continuity of the human species. It's a great story, Claire,

but you may be... I do kind of want to see that photo. I think you're with the glands people. We're not accepting you. But it's a great story. It does say the uterus is a hollow muscular organ. Okay. It is an organ.

So it's an organ. Not a sensual. Yeah. I wonder what the doctor thinks about that. If we're going to have a quick text there, doctor. If we're going to have

a quick text, it's an essential organ. You can just scribble us out a prescription for that one. That we can't read. And something to give to the receptionist

on the way out. Also, just while we're here, I need one of those $2 big boxes of Panadols. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Non-brand, non-brand. Yeah. That's good stuff.

I can't believe he did that. Thank you so much, Claire. No worries. That's incredible. Do you feel comfortable sharing the photo? Not for everybody. Not for that number. No, I don't want to share it.

I'm sorry to you guys. If you want to see it, I can stick it up for you. Just us. Just us. Jared's no. I'm with Jared. Team Jared. Was it smaller than you imagined?

I feel like it would be smaller. How big is it? Yeah. It was probably about if you put your two fists together. And a baby would be living in there. Everyone's doing that. Wow. And heart-shaped.

So if everybody could just make those fists slightly more heart-shaped. What did you say when he was showing that around? Oh, just nothing. I'm just thinking you'd better put that back in correctly. You put that in upside down, I'm going to know about it. Yeah. It's like when you rip the printer cartridges out of the printer. You're like, which way does this go back around?

Exactly the same. It's exactly the same for doctors. Claire, thank you so much for sharing this morning. Incredible story. Somebody said they also had that happen during a C-section, but when they pulled the uterus out, they rested it on her and had a cleaner, a bit of a fossick about,

and a cleaner around in the air. Oh, just like a spring clean. Oh, my God. I wonder if that happened to me. Like when you clean out the bathroom cabinet and you just pull stuff out and just put it on the sink and when you have it cleaned and then you put it all back in. Spray and wipe the shelf.

Spray and wipe it in there. Ew. Brilliant. Well, then we've got another successful. There's more. There's more. Okay. People saying I lived without kidneys.

Full stop. No kidneys. They were there, but they were absolutely not functioning. Okay. And I just had to have daily dialysis. Okay. Yeah, right. Diabetics are living without a working pancreas.

Yep. Do we consider that an essential organ? I don't think it's essential. You need medication, right? Yeah, but you don't want the diabetics coming for you. Yeah, right. Then I'd rather not live without it. The army of diabetics.

Yeah, they've got an army. Oh, my God. That sounds about as threatening as a Salvation Army. Also another army. Sure. Someone said, yeah, pancreas doesn't work, type 1 diabetes. But it's there, isn't it? It's just not working?

Yeah. How do we feel about that? Did they get me from the doctor again? I lived on a heart and lung machine for about six hours when I had my heart transplant. We'll accept that. So that counts. That totally counts. Lots of people ragging on their teenagers for not having brains.

Okay. Well, they must have inherited it from somebody, so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in those situations. Yep, you're the tree. I wish I could say that my bloody gallbladder was essential because then I could ring in and tell you I don't have a gallbladder. I don't know where we stand on that medically. Okay.

Yeah, so there you go. Okay, well, there you go. The impossible phone-in topic. Proved possible once again.
