Hello, welcome to the Fleetch Vaughan and Megan podcast. It's thanks to McCafe by five McCafe coffees and get one free on the Maccas app. Just Vaughan and I today on the podcast and show ahead on the eve of the long weekend group to the Queen's birthday edition. Yes. Tomorrow. Very excited about this. First time we've offered a prize. Yeah.

In-car spice rack. But we don't want cheaters. We don't want people taking shortcuts just to get their hands on these delicious spices. Principles. Principles are invaluable. They really are. Spices are $2 to $3 for these little jars.

So let's keep our principles and not fake them out. We're still waiting for the actual racks that we bought from Jaina. Any word on the tracking, Executive Intern Anya, the tracking for the spice racks? Look, last I heard, they were on the tarmac in China. In China, okay. What part of China were they flying out of? Got the email there?

Always important to know where from the China it's coming from. Talk amongst yourselves, I find. Okay. Okay, she's going to load up the tracking. Because there's a town in China that specializes, all it does is make. Spice racks. No, like $2 shop stuff.

Oh, really? Yeah, cheap. The whole town is like. It's just factories. Wow. And they have markets where they sell them. So you go, I listened to a podcast about it. You go and you're like,

I need to buy 10,000 Santas to stick in the car window. And when I squeeze it a little air thing, he pulls his pants down. Oh, yeah. And they're like, yep, we'll get you 10,000 Santas to stick in the car window, and when I squeeze it a little air thing, he pulls his pants down. And they're like, yep, we'll get you 10,000 of those. And then they get them shipped to wherever you need to get them shipped to. And that's like the city's specialty. Wow.

It's junk. Do you think everybody's got some kind of plastic toxic poisoning in this city? Yeah, I'd say so. I wouldn't imagine the waterways are very clear or the air itself's a pleasure to breathe. Yeah, right. But, you know, they specialise in junk.

It's just like AliExpress, but in person. Uh-huh. The markets. That sounds, I would absolutely love that. Yeah, to visit. Yeah. Not to hang around for too long. No, absolutely not.

All right, well, just before we leave you with today's, any tracking? No name? What, is there a name, but you're too scared to say it? Or you just can't see where it was leaving from? I'm investigating Wasn't it meant to arrive today? It was indeed So on the 28th it says your parcel is with the airline

And is pending flight departure from the country of origin Okay so it's flying But it has not yet touched down So it's been in the air for five days No it's pending flight departure Oh so it's stuck on the tarmac But I've got a really good feeling about this weekend So it's been in the air for five days. No, it's pending flight departure. Oh, so it's stuck on the tarmac. Damn it. Stuck there.

But I've got a really good feeling about this weekend. Well, the weather forecast isn't looking good for the long weekend, and so that's never a good sign for the long weekend group two. But, hey, let's be positive and join us for the long weekend group two tomorrow. ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletchvaughan and Megan.

The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Minus Megan today, who's away. But still with Fletch Vaughan. But we're still here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotcha, gotcha. Because I was just wondering if I should leave. Should I go? We'll just all have a day off.

Well, no, you. Someone has to stay. It makes sense. Your name goes first. I mean, I don't. Yeah. I could probably just have a day off. Well, no, you. Someone has to say it makes sense. No, I don't. Your name goes first. I mean, I don't. Yeah. I could probably just have a day off and you could do it. No. I don't know. No, because that'd be really weird to say because I don't have to say it's Fletch or

Megan without Fletch, without Megan, but you could just say it's Fletch because your name's first. Right. Okay. Yeah, no. I'm sure that's how that works. Okay. Yeah, no, that's not happening.

Spose. So I guess we'll just soldier on. Spose. Spose will work. Spose will work. Yeah. Now, the giant box, which is in studio, the code has now been changed, and there is a new prize in the box,

and there is a chance for you to guess the code at 8, 12, and 4. Get cracking. That's what the message on the box says. So 8 o'clock this morning. I'm guessing there's going to be a clue Who knows? We only work here Well that's what it says, guess the code at 8 So I don't know if it's going to be a clue

Or you'll be able to decipher the whole code Okay We've just turned up We'll do some investigation And let you know. Yep. We'll have it sorted by eight, I'd imagine. I'd imagine.

The top six is coming up. Yeah, that's right. The America's Cup. It's still not confirmed that the next America's Cup will be in New Zealand, even though it proved to be a pretty good place to have it last time, didn't it? Yeah, didn't it? That was lovely. Yeah.

No lockdowns. Yeah. Yeah. But lockdowns and... Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, they could be lured overseas with more money. I've got the top six ideas to get them locked in for another America's Cup here in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Alright, the top six coming up next on the show. Wellington Bar has employed some technology

that I believe is already in Australia and other parts of the world. Yeah, but people are going crazy about this on TikTok. Yeah. Sharing it and just like, whoa. What's going on, man? This is the future. This is Tom Cruise's Minority Report.

It's a weird reference. Are you referencing Minority Report? No. That's an old-ass movie now. 2002! Okay, yeah, wow. Yeah, because I heard someone reference Minority Report the other day because you remember the screens pop up and he's throwing them around. Well, we're not doing that. You can actually do it. Yeah, because I heard someone reference Minority Report the other day because you remember the screens pop up and he's throwing them around.

Well, we're not doing that. You can actually do it. Yeah. The technology's around where you can actually do it now. And then the young person they were telling them about had no idea what Minority Report was. Probably only born when it came out. Yeah.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. A bar in Wellington They've got a TikTok account Okay I don't know The bar's got a TikTok account

I don't know what else is on their TikTok account Let me take one moment Is it like a behind the scenes What else is on the TikTok account Do they show how they make all the big buckets of ice Because do they order that Or do they have an ice machine Always wondered that about bars.

They have ice machines, right? Big, huge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they open the door on it and there's just something and they go, scoop? Yeah, right. So this is Dakota Bar in Wellington

and their latest TikTok video shows their new ID scanning technology. Now this is, if you've ever been to Sydney and gone out. Yep. Pretty much going out at night to any bar or club after a certain time, you're doing this. You're giving them your driver's license. They scan it into the system.

It's all a touchscreen for the bouncer and security staff. And then you're in the network. In Sydney, I believe, you can be banned from multiple, all bars if you're, you know, causing trouble. Yeah, they can, if they're all talking to each other and sharing information, they can ban you. I've just paused on the screen here. When they put the driver's license in to scan it and it will scan your face and then compare

your face to a little camera at the time. There's a just count. I don't know what that means. But it says scan male, scan female. So then you know the ratio of people in the bar now, don't you? Oh, because nothing worse than a sausage feast. Oh, God. No bloody.

I'm saying a bloody bunning sausage sizzle, mate. I don't know. Do people still say that? I don't know. Are hot chicks still skipping the line? Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. If they've got a membership and you can click on ban patron and visit history.

So you can see how often they've come to the bar or when they've been in the bar before. Maybe their visits coincide with trouble on premises. Sounds like it's going to take a little bit longer, though, because it's not just looking at a date and being like, oh yeah that's older than 18 there's like you push it in you scan it and it goes but if you're already in the system they'll just be like yep go around you're not in trouble so um staff did a story on this uh in february in 2020 um like a year ago. And they said that the nightclub scanners at this stage who were about 20 in New Zealand. Wow. And that not only do they share within the network of New Zealand,

but also trans-Tasman. So you've got some rat bag Aussies coming over. Yeah, if you've got some trouble crossing. That's a great idea. Yeah, I know. That's a great idea. And apparently the details are stored forever. Your face.

And so if you get a lifetime ban, you're getting a lifetime ban. I like this. Listen, pause on another thing. It's telling you how many people are currently scanned in for the night and the ratio of males to females in sort of a donut pie graph situation. It says legal age. Yes, tick. You can get a warning.

It can say like, oh, this is this person's first time, so they're unregistered. It's a valid ID. Okay, this actually, it sounds like a great idea because like a bouncer on a door is just making sure you're not falling over drunk. You're over the age required to get in and you're not wearing white shoes.

Is that still a thing? Not wearing white shoes? You can tell we go to the club all the time. We're club goers. I'm in bed by like nine during the weeknights. I honestly can't imagine anything worse. It would be so loud and so crowded.

Those are two of my least favourite things about humans. Yeah. We're not cattle. We're not getting crammed in there. And my gosh, that's loud. Anyway, Grandad and Grandad here. Pops and Grandad seeing you through with today's biggest songs.

Hey, I'll go out to at least a living during the weekend. I'll go out for a meal. A delicious succulent Chinese meal. You're not going to clubs, are you? I'm not going to clubs. No way. All right. I'm go out for a meal. A delicious succulent Chinese meal. You're not going to the clubs, are you? I'm not going to the clubs. No way. All right. I'm not even going to pretend.

Next on the show. Like, you know, sometimes you hear like a 40-year-old dude pretending that they're still like down with 20-year-olds in the clubs. Yeah, those dudes are creepy. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, a guy called Adam had moved to Australia from the USA, and I love seeing these

on TikTok, all of the cultural differences. Oh, yes. The shocks. Yeah. Especially what I love when people come to New Zealand, they're like, this is just different. They moved to another part of the world with a different history and things are different, and they can't believe it. Well, I don't think they're

necessarily bagging it. No, no. They're just mind-blowing at people from a different place and a different culture are different to them. So he, on his TikTok, mentioned a whole bunch of things, one of which he couldn't believe, Bluetech. In New Zealand and Australia, we use a lot of Bluetech. Do they just not have that in America?

How much Bluetech do we use? I can't remember when I last used Blu-Tack. Pins in the wall. But you're not flatting, are you? If you were flatting, you'd be using... Is that when he said he spotted it? Well, he's just spotted it and I don't think it's a thing in America. They must just use pins and hammer things into the wall. Just put the poles in the jib.

It's probably a bit looser there when you rent a place, when you rent a flat. I feel like that's why we have Blu-Tack thrust upon us from an early age. But are we a poster loving nations? Maybe, maybe we are. Chuck a poster up on the wall of your favourite band or a truck you like. It wasn't that that he noticed it was a culture shock for him in Australia and New Zealand. It was this.

So I'm just going to quickly run through some things that I had never heard of before moving to Australia. I had never heard anyone yell hip hip hooray after singing happy birthday to someone, but this is definitely something I can get behind because it adds to the whole birthday vibe. It does. It does. It really adds to the whole birthday vibe. And that's apparently a thing that we do down under.

Did we get that from the UK? I feel like it's a British thing, right? I assume anything that we've got that isn't in other Western countries like America or once settled by Spanish settlers, I feel like we just must have got it from Britain. Hip Hip Hooray has got a Wikipedia page. History, the call was recorded in England

in the beginning of the 19th century in connection with making a toast. Any sort of toast. So it could have been a birthday toast, could have been a wedding toast. Hip hip. Hooray. Okay.

18th century dictionaries list hip as an attention-getting interjection. An example from 1790 has it repeated. Hip hip was added as a preparatory call before making a toast. So then it became hip hip. And then it reached its modern form, hip hip hurrah. So should we be saying hurrah or hooray? Hip.

So hip. Originally to get your attention. Hip. And then hip hip. And then maybe that sounded a little rude, a little interrupty. Yeah. So they chucked a hoor rude, a little interrupty. Yeah. So they chucked a hooray on the end. Huh.

Yeah. Because then it's weird if you sing someone happy birthday, sometimes someone will do the hip-hip hooray and then you won't sometimes. It's apparently the hooray, the hurrah, the hooray part is Mongolian. Oh. It was an enthusiastic cry of bravado or mutual encouragement often used in times of war. See Jack Weatherford's book,

Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World. Oh, Genghis Khan Mongolian barbecue. Yeah. That's just made me think of the Mongolian barbecue. Do people hip-hip-hooray before enjoying a delicious succulent Mongolian barbecue? They should. Absolutely they should. They certainly should.

German? Yeah, everybody's chipped in for a little bit of hip-hip-hooray. But the should. They certainly should. German? Yeah, everybody's chipped in for a little bit of hip-hop. But the Americans have never done it. They're not a cheering time. They're not a cheering time. They just stop after happy birthday. Hmm. All right, 6.22, next on the show.

Huzzah. What's Huzzah? Huzzah is another version of hip-hop parade that they may use more. It's Shakespearean. Right. And then huzzah is a sign. Huzzah was often yelled in celebration associated with the 4th of July. So huzzah might be slightly more American.

Right. Hip-hip-huzzah. Hooray. Warning, warning, warning, warning. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's long weekend group toot. The unmissable event on tomorrow's podcast, ZM. So there was a story yesterday about a car being stolen from a VTNZ that had got its warrant of fitness, came out the other side of that big orange shed. Yeah.

You know where you stand and you're like, oh my God, please, please, please, please, please. Please, please, please. Good news. And you're like, yes! Suck it for another six months. This is you every time that Honda goes through that big orange shed. Honda looks like a piece of crap,

but it gets its warrant. Every time I've been in the car with you lately, it scrapes the ground. How is that passing a warrant? That's because I hit that wheel on the motorway and it ripped some stuff from underneath. But I've unbolted most of that. Right.

Again, that sounds safe. But then the bumper's now so thin that I can drive over those little things that stop you in a car park. But then when I back out of it, it pulls it off a bit more. But anyway, that's by the by. So it turns out in the last 25 years,

eight cars have been stolen from VTNZs. So because this was in the news, everyone else has come forward and said, well, actually, I got mine nicked as well. Yeah, so this woman told the story about the Westgate branch of the VTNZ. That's in Auckland. Yep.

Out West Auckland. Yep. And apparently the car got pinched when the person left the keys in it and went inside to, I don't know, get the new sticker or something. And then it came out and it was gone. They're like, huh. Huh.

I wonder what happened there. Because they just leave it. When it goes through, it turns out they're just leaving it a lot of the time. So the key's in the ignition in the car. Yes. Oh. So, and the person who owned it was actually there when it got stolen. They were sitting in that little area beside that really yuck coffee machine

and all those other bits of paper. Right. You know the big wall of all the paper bits of the V10Z? You're like, what does that one do? Oh, that's to register a trailer. You're like, what a world we live in. So since the Herald ran the story, it turns out that there's been, yeah, in the last 25 years, there's been eight cars stolen from VTNZs in the same situation.

Like not hot white or anything, literally just keys. Driven away. Away they go. Because if they replace those other eight cars or seven cars, because they were initially like, well, it's tough. And she's like, oh, that's a $15,000 car. Yeah. And apparently a litigation lawyer was like, well, it looks like they're at fault. well it's tough and she's like oh that's a $15,000 car yeah and apparently a litigation lawyer

was like well it looks like they're at fault they're to blame well yeah they left the keys in the car and the car unlocked

and right there but that's an opportunistic crime and there are apparently no cameras because people have been complaining about this for years

because I guess like you don't care about your car, but some people's cars are their pride and joy. Excuse me, my car is my pride and my joy. Is it? I care about it so much. But they see their car sitting there with the keys in their initiative and they've been complaining about this. Yeah.

Some people for years. I would have thought they would have had cameras just for, if there was any damage, you would be able to say, well, let's trace back the cameras, this car on the camera, and see where it happened. And it was one of ours, so yeah, we're at fault. Or as you can see, this was another motorist,

so your insurance will need to cover this. It's pretty wild. Get some cameras, jeez. It's pretty wild. Low. So I'd imagine there'll be at least lock in the cars for the next couple of weeks until this is out of the motorcycle. And then it's just going to be a free-for-all again.

Megan's away today, so Georgia has come in. Did you have to miss the gym for this? You know what? I actually did. That's how much. Oh, Georgia Burt. We know how you love your morning sessions with Coach Reece. And I ate two peanut slabs last night,

so this is all downhill. Did a Corsy sell you the... Yeah, 10. Well, not 10 of them, five, $10 worth, because I was not going to buy them. They're fundraising peanut slabs at work. Yeah. Somebody's got a kid playing netball. No, no, it's her.

She's playing netball. She's playing netball. Flesh, Fawn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Yesterday, I had a very prickly nose. I was like, why does it feel like I've got very prickly nose. I was like, why does it feel like I've got a prickly nose? And then I've recalled it's because I recently trimmed all my nose hairs. Oh, okay. Usually, I get them waxed, which is a hell of an experience.

Oh, you yuck. No, there's no way. You told me about this. They stick a... It's so satisfying. Like a nice block stick. A thin popsicle stick up with wax on it. And then they let it sit.

And then they just... And they throw it multiple times each nostril to get it all out. But gosh, it feels good afterwards. You go... There's nothing in the way. Man, I'm getting so much oxygen. But don't you need the little nose hairs to block out? Yeah, they catch stuff, don't they?

But you've got them further back. They just catch the ones that keep growing and you can see them. Oh, yeah, yeah. But then so I do that when I get my back lasered. I get it all done at the same time. It's a whole hair removal time. It's a rigmarole, they call it. And 24 hours of complete hair removal because before your back and your butt laser,

you've got to give that a fresh shave. And then at the same time while I'm in the shower, I look at my chest and I'm like, oh, I can't have you being long. Yeah, right. So I shave that down and then while you're there, you do the pubes. It's a whole clean situation. And then you're blaming your wife and the girls

for the shower being clogged. No, because those hairs are so much shorter compared to the long hair that gets wrapped around that plug hole thing. So anyway, I'm in between at the moment with the back lasering. It's getting stretched out because it's working

so you go less often but when you do go Christ they crank it up they really zap you and ray gun you so I was like Sade said in this

beautifully passive aggressive manner that only your wife can a couple of nose hairs like that wow oh is that oh I thought it was

your moustache a couple of nose hairs and you're like okay well I'll take that hint. So I needed to acquire a nose hair trimmer. Okay. And I went and looked and they come as part of a pack. You can get like the head shave.

I've got one of those, the head shavers and that. I just needed a new nose shave cap. Yeah, the whole situation. Yeah, right. I didn't need the three-piece set. I just needed the nose hair trimmer. So it was off to a completely unpaid endorsement here because if I did get it for free,

I am now selling myself for $7 because the warehouse has them by themselves for $7. Oh, okay. That's good. Yeah, one AA battery in it and then it sounds like it could break at any second, but I mean, it was $7 from the warehouse. So it doesn't matter.

You know, totally will. And probably if it does, take it back and say, hey, this thing I paid next to nothing for, but it's broken i want another one they'll probably be like well just get yourself another one yeah very good returns policy so i went home and i it was like when you put something too much down the in-sync generator and you can just hear it overloading or struggling it really really chewed it up but I added a good clean out but because I'm used to the waxing which tears it out completely

now I've got like they're just short and anytime I touch my nose I can feel the spikes. Oh, okay. Small price to pay. No one said beauty was going to be easy, did they?

No, they didn't. Mm. So you're just stabbing yourself inside the nostril. Yeah, every time I like touch it or if I've got an itchy nose and I like just give my nose

a little finger scratch I get like stabbed stabbed by all of the hairs that are in there but they're short and they're not sticking out anymore and happy wife

happy life that sort of stuff right did you show her afterwards were you like look look oh yeah I walked her out and I pulled my nose up like a pig

I was like look and she was like oh yeah I was like no no look and I made her really look yeah she said oh it looks empty in there and I said no my brain is in there And she was like, oh, yeah. I was like, no, no, look. And I made her really look. Yeah. Yeah.

She said, oh, it looks empty in there. And I said, no, my brain is in there. If I didn't have a brain, I wouldn't be able to function. I wouldn't be able to hold this conversation with you. Duh. I've got a brain. Then I was really insulted. So I went back to trimming more nose hairs. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast.

From the oily ZM think tank, this is the top six. Hello. Hey. Hey, buddy. Hey, guy. How you doing, buddy? Top six ways to secure the New Zealand, sorry, the America's Cup as a New Zealand event. This still isn't locked in where the next one's going to happen.

Are they just saying this to get more money from the government? I reckon. I feel like that's what... I reckon. Cheeky. Bloody beneficiaries, isn't it? Rich white handout. Rich white handout.

Beneficiaries. Exactly. Exactly. Next time you hear an America's Cup fan whinging about someone who's on any form of benefit to help them through a tough part of their life, remind them of all the breaks the government gave their favourite sport.

The top six ways to secure the America's Cup as an event in New Zealand. Number six, play hard to get. Tell them we don't want them. Be like, why don't you want us? Be like, it's boring, isn't it? It's not even really boats anymore. It's more like a plane.

It's more like a water plane. Hey, go see where else in the world's interested. It's just not really boats anymore. It's more like a plane. It's more like a water plane. Go see where else in the world is interested. It's just not for us anymore. And then they'll want to treat him mean, keep him keen. Number five on the list of the top six ways to secure the America's Cup event in New Zealand for the next time around. Just take the cup down to Mr. Minute in the mall and get them to engrave over where it says America's Cup,

so it says Aotearoa Cup. Yeah, I can't imagine the New York Yacht Club having anything to say about that. It's our cup. We want it. We get to engrave our name on it and make some light alterations. Number four on the list of the top six ways

to secure the America's Cup event in New Zealand. Don't let any other teams enter. Yeah, good call. Just New Zealand teams. Yeah, just New Zealand teams. Yeah, good idea. Yeah. And if, like, the big sailing guys want to be involved, they've just got to back a New Zealand team.

I like your thinking. Yeah. Like the Auckland Sailors could be one team great name very I mean marketable yeah don't get me wrong

there could be the Tauranga Sailors another great marketing team there mate great great marketing number three on the list

of the top six ways to secure the America's Cup event as a New Zealand event put the members of the team on a terrorist watch list. So that they

won't be able to go to any other country. Yeah. It's on a terrorist watch list. Good call. Sorry Blair Tuke. Imagine the Prime Minister saying, well, you're screwed now. I've put you all on the terror watch list. Yeah. You've got to stay here. Let's see you even be associated with the word America anymore. Yeah.

Oh, power move. Yeah. Oh, power move. Yeah, absolute power play. I reckon we do it. Number two on the list of the top six ways to secure the America's Cup event in New Zealand, chain up the boats and don't unchain them until they promise to stay. Yeah. Yeah, good call. You know how light those boats are.

A big heavy chain. Oh, yeah, pretty sink one. Yeah, hold it right down. And number one on the list of the top six ways to secure the America's Cup event as a New Zealand event, we get to change some rules right because we want it. Make a new rule that you have to race within two kilometres of a dormant volcano that could explode. I think that's already a rule.

Is it? Yeah. You have to sail within two kilometres of a dormant volcano. Well, they were doing that last time. No, I know, but make it like a hard and a fast rule. Oh, right, okay. And then they have to have it here. You have to.

Yeah, right. Where else has this many volcanoes with a million and a half people living on it in ignorant bliss? Don't remind us. Don't remind them. I just like to remind Aucklanders they live on volcanoes. Next time they pay like a million dollars over CV for a house. Yeah.

When that house is on a volcano, it could blow up. That is today's top six. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. I know it's bad for civil engineering, but I love seeing trucks and stuff get caught under bridges. Yeah. It's one of,

you see it in real life, like I'm looking at a picture of it now and it's giving me a little dopamine hit, but you see it in real life and it's like, mm-hmm.

Like when you see a camper. Oh, remember tourists and travellers and they get their campervan stuck in like the Macca's drive-thru? Hey, hey, hey, hey. New Zealanders,

domestic tourists more than capable of ruining a roof of a camper van? Nah, see, I think we're wise to that. We're wise to the height restrictions of our camper vans. Can we get Brits on the phone? Ask them how many. Maui.

That would be really interesting, actually. How many percentage-wise, because obviously the amount has dropped. Of campers on the road. Of campers on the road. But how many percentage wise are still getting like stupid damage from people driving

under things that are too low. Well this happened yesterday. The Sticks Overbridge Northern Christchurch a concrete truck became wedged under an overbridge.

Oh Canterbury bridges have just had a week of it. Haven't they? Can they catch a break? If they're not getting bashed by water and sticks and debris

underneath because of floods? Yeah. Concrete trucks are hooning under them. Oh, I feel like this is something I'd do if I had a concrete truck. Well, the thing is the cab cleared, but they didn't allow for the extra height of the bowl of the concrete mixer. Also, they've got a bit of a way in. Yeah. They're like halfway in, so I don't know if reversing is an option. I'd love to know how that ended up getting out

because the spinny bit, the bulb. On the concrete truck. On the concrete truck that spins continuously to keep the concrete in liquid form was wedged, so it wouldn't be able to turn. So then also were they dealing with the fact that the concrete began to set. And you couldn't just put the chute off the back and offload it somewhere else

because it needs to reverse to turn it out. Correct. Oh, no. Correct. Okay, I need to know a follow-up on that. Yeah, I would love to know the follow-up. They towed it out, right? Or they wedged it out?

I don't know. Chuck it in. Because it got in, so maybe it could go back out, but maybe, okay, I don't know. This is my immediate thoughts. Problem solver. Let the air out of the tyres.

Oh, yeah. And then that drops you a few inches. And you have to drive out and grind that it's not great for the tyre or the wheel but it's also, at least then you can get out. That's a good idea from you. Did you just think of that? Well, I always get myself into dumb spots.

So you've also got to find your way out of dumb spots. You got stuck at the beach and that was an air thing too, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that was I had too much pressure and I made the tires too tight. You need to have loose tires on the beach. Yeah, if you're driving on the beach, you've got to drop the pressure down to about 15 psi, so I've learned.

So I'd imagine this concrete truck just comes to a screeching halt under the bridge. A scraping, screeching halt. Oh, my God. I would have died. You're like, why am I slowing down? I've got my foot hole under the bridge. A scraping, screeching hole. Oh, my God. I would have died. You're like, why am I slowing down? I've got my foot flat on the floor. And it got stuck under there. We would like to know this morning when you got stuck.

Just in vehicles? When didn't you fit? Vehicles or anything. Maybe you were on a scooter or... I was thinking not too many people would drive those pedal-powered tuk-tuks, would they? No. Very niche. Not really niche.

Somebody to say, I thought I could fit through the gap on my three-wheeled tuk-tuk, but I got caught. That's probably not as much, but maybe a tuk-tuk. So stuck in a vehicle, but also as a human being. Yeah. You thought you could fit. When you thought you could fit, but you couldn't. And you got stuck. Yeah, right. And an aim to make this guy feel better? Whoever was driving the concrete truck? Absolutely not. I just want more funny stories of people thinking they could fit through a gap and they couldn't. I'd like to start this phone-in topic by throwing to executive producer Anya, who has a story

about getting stuck herself personally. This wasn't in a concrete truck. No, it wasn't. I wish it was. Yeah. Do you know the donut at Springfield, the small town? Yes. The Simpsons donut that was unveiled as a town monument when the Simpsons movie was

released. Yes, I tried to get into it and I got stuck. Where? In the hole. Yeah, I didn't like fill the hole out, if that makes sense. Because I was going to say it's quite a big hole. I remember it being a big hole. It is.

However, there's like three small steps up to it. And then I kind of dove in. Yeah. And then I was stuck on my tummy. And because of the width of the donut, I had no access to hands or legs. And so... It's a slippery donut.

It's a big puddle at the bottom. So you kind of like had bellied out. I did, yeah. And so my dad had to... And by the way, this was while I was at university, so I'm 21 at this point. My dad had to pull my arms and my sister had to shunt my legs

up the back you didn't come back down onto the steps, they pushed you through the other side that's a high fall yeah it was quite painful why didn't they just shunt you back the way you came, pull on

the legs? I don't think there was, I think because it was so high dad didn't have enough, there wasn't enough room to shunt you back the way you came. Pull on the legs. I don't think there was, I think because it was so high, Dad didn't have enough, like there wasn't enough room to shunt that way. Oh, right. I would have thought, as a father myself, I would have thought

I'll put myself out a little bit more so that my daughter doesn't fall multiple feet onto the ground after this already embarrassing fiasco. Oh, we really experimented with various manoeuvres. We were there for about 20 minutes.

Did they lube you up? Before going in? No, to get you out. No, they shouldn't have. They should have rushed to that dairy and got some margarine. Yeah. Just kind of lubed up the sides of the donut.

Lube you up with flora. Or Oliviano. I would have gone Oliviano. Oh, because you're an olive oil man. Yes, I love the olive oil content. Yeah, you've got a Mediterranean vibe. So give us a call. 0800-DARLES-AT-AM, 9696.

When did you get stuck? Or when didn't you fit? Whether or not you were a concrete truck driver or you got stuck in a donut. You were a little bit tall for a drive-through. You flew into the work underground car park in a new car. Oh, yes. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning.

Fetch one and Megan's long weekend group toot. The unmissable event on tomorrow's podcast. ZM. We're talking about when you got stuck. When you thought you'd fit. A concrete truck got stuck under an overbridge in Christchurch yesterday. I mean, funny for us to talk about now and laugh about, but not for the poor concrete truck driver.

So we've got a resolution here. Concrete truck that got stuck in Christchurch. They let the tires, they let the air out of the tires. You were right. And used a crane and lift, lifted the front of the truck to drop the back down and then reversed it out. It had a full load of concrete on board as well. But they did that quickly enough that it didn't set?

No word if it set. So person that sent that in, if you could just let us know if that's true. Let us know if the concrete was alright. It would have got chunky. I would have wanted a discount because you're not going to get a smooth screech because of the chunky concrete. Unless it was empty. You were imagining it was full. Yeah.

No, no, they said it was. It had a load of concrete on board. Definitely had a load of concrete on board. Definitely had a load of concrete on board. They said that. All right, so we want to know when you've been stuck or you didn't fit, Executive Intern Anja got stuck in the Springfield Donut. Some messages coming through.

Yep. Somebody messaged in, didn't your daughter get stuck in a kid's swing recently? She did, yeah. She did, yeah. She couldn't get out, and that was a whole thing on TikTok. They were saying, don't do this.

Your fire departments in the UK and around the world were like, stop this. We're having to cut people out of swings. Yeah. Grown adults. Chris,

when did you not fit? Hey, good morning. Back in high school, I used to get bullied quite a bit, but I had a bully dare me to jump

inside one of those lockers and I'm about six foot five. So he dares me to jump inside the locker and says, oh, you can't fit. Yeah, watch me.

So I jump in there and he closes the door on me. And there's a lock on the top and the bottom. So I had my foot jammed in the bottom. So the bottom stayed open, but he locked the top. So I got stuck in there and they had to call the fire department and the caretaker to cut me out of the locker. It took about an hour to take care of. God. So you did fit, kind of.

You were right. But you got stuck. I shoved my way in there, and exactly, just to prove him right. And, yeah, I guess I fit pretty well, but I got stuck for quite a while. Oh, Chris, that's sad. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally good.

Definitely didn't end well. But not that I have a story to tell. Yeah, true, true. All't end well, but now that I have the story to tell, so. Yeah, true, true. All right, Chris, thanks for sharing some text messages. Someone messaged in saying they work for a caravan company, but they want to remain anonymous. Okay. Not too many vans get stuck in drive-thrus.

You said caravan or camper van? Camper van. Oh, camper van company. Camper van companies. Not too many camper vans get stuck in drive-thrus. The biggest problems are car park buildings. They get wedged in concrete. And shop verandas that stick out.

And they don't have a height marking on them. So you've got no idea. You just pull in and... Oh, you always see that in the city. All the shop awnings, the edges and signs get scraped by like big buses or trucks. Trucks when they take the corner really tight. Yeah. My 18-month-old climbed into the lockers at the museum,

and then his mate locked the locker behind him and spun the code thing. So our 18-month-old was stuck inside a locker. He fit, but he was stuck for a long time until they could get it open. Andy, when did you not fit? So do you know where the iSight is near the Waitomo caves? The iSight, the information centre? Yeah, that's it. Yes.

So they've got a little man-made cave in there and when I first came to New Zealand that was the first thing I did. I went through there for tourism. I thought, you know what? I'm going to go through this little hole. It was made for kids, clearly, but I was like, you know what? N'm going to go through this little hole. It was made for kids, clearly, but I was like, you know what? Nuts doing it.

Went through and my ass got stuck right in the hole. It was such a... It was really great. And then all you hear is this big crying man crying in this bloody cave because it's like cross-phobic air. Oh, sorry. Was it you? Were you the man crying in the cave?

No. It's all right. It's all right, Andy. You it you? Were you the man crying in the cave? No. It's all right. It's all right, Andy. You're allowed to cry. I'm kidding. In front of me, because she was scared crapless because I was literally banging around trying to get out. But you were stuck.

Your ass was stuck in it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It is. Basically, it's just literally like the perfect picture at the moment. Yeah. So then they had to like physically cut me out. So now there's like a massive like cut in it. Yeah, so they had to repaint it.

I'm going to stop and look for that recut and repaint. Yeah. Next time I'm passing through, Andy. Andy's arse. We did caving at high school at Waitangi. I hated it because I was a fat kid. And there was one where I had to suck my guts in and squeeze through. I was like, this is not an ideal to be under the earth squeezing.

It's horrible. I know. I don't like the idea of it at all. Horrible. Shouldn't be under there. Someone else said they got stuck while caving. The hips got stuck. I was getting through, so I was halfway through.

It was my hip. The hip is a wide point of the body. If you've got the shoulders, you can go sideways, but if the hip, you can't. 20 minutes it took to get us unstuck. That'd be a terrible time to be, A, stuck, but also stuck behind you. Yeah, horrible. Stuck in front of you if you had to come back through that. Somebody else said in their long history of employment driving trucks,

they've got themselves stuck on average once a year. Oh, okay. Do they have the greatest hits? Did they hit us with the greatest hits? No, no, they didn't say they hit their greatest hits. I'm imagining there would have been

at least a couple of car park buildings in that one. I reckon I'd last a month as a truck driver. I'd be like, not another no exit. Yeah. Have you ever been in Vietnam?

I know my parents went when they went to Vietnam and they show you the foxholes that the Viet Cong lived in in the Vietnam War. I didn't coach him in. I didn my parents went when they went to Vietnam and they show you the foxholes that the Viet Cong lived in in the Vietnam War. I didn't do that tour, no, but you can. Well, somebody got stuck in those. Lots of people in the group gave it

a go fitting it through the tiny holes. They were fit, thin, fit, thin, long people. Well, I'm a voluptuous short woman and I got stuck at the chest. Oh, wow. And I could only reach the bottom but I didn't have enough arm strength to pull me out so the tour leader had to drag me

by the legs like when Winnie the Pooh got stuck in that tree because he wanted his honey. Yeah, good. Well, alright, well, thank you for sharing your embarrassing moments of being stuck this morning. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Va Megan, the podcast. Fletchbourne and Megan's Community Notices.

Hello there. Welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand according to local Facebook pages. This one from the Mamaku Notice Board. Joseph has posted. Anyone up here any good at making bombs?

Nothing too dangerous or big. Just want a gender reveal bomb. Oh no, this never ends well. This never ends well. Like, refer to a lot of news stories. Yeah. The reason I ask this

is I always hear big tuna bombs going off up Mamaku. So someone's bound to be good at it. What are tuna bombs? Like, do you put them in the ocean and the tunas die? And then you're like, ha. That's cheating, isn't it?

Free fish. Okay, so tuna bombs are often used by tuna fishermen netting large schools of fish. When a net is cast out, the bombs are thrown into the water, exploding beneath the surface and scaring the fish into the nets. Oh, that's cheating. It doesn't kill them. It's just like, tuna bombs are basically the equivalent of a sheepdog of the ocean. Yeah, right.

But then what if you're a little starfish? You get a fright. On with your starfish day after you pooped yourself because the tuna bomb was so loud. Or you're just sitting there in the ocean being a delicious kinner and you hear a big bomb. What was that? If I was a sea cucumber, I'd bloody explode.

Oh, you'd blow it everywhere, wouldn't you? Your little defence mechanism. Next to the online garage sale Marlborough, New Zealand, and Leslie's got something for sale, tadpoles. The kids have plenty of these. $2 each for tadpoles. Do you ever do that at primary school? You have tadpoles?

I tend to remember a tadpole. We had an oxalotl at primary school. The Mexican walking fish. Man, those things stink and they yuck. Yeah. They're so pale and like yuck. They yuck. You know what an oxolotl is?

Yeah, they're a bit weird, aren't they? I thought they were an oxolittle. Oxolittle. I might be saying it wrong. I don't know. I don't know. They're kind of a couple of years ago, I saw them making a little bit of a resurgence.

Oxolotls. You remember the big oxolotl resurgence of 2018? Oh, absolutely, yeah. Huge demand for Mexican walking fish. We're still talking about that now. Oh, God, reeling. There's not a day where I don't get a Google alert about the great oxolotl resurgence of 2018.

Other community notices as we pop around New Zealand is to the Bombay grapevine. Okay. This is Bombay, and they're very specifically letting us know in brackets that it's the New Zealand Bombay, not to be confused with India's Bombay. Just in case you joined the wrong Facebook page. Yeah, and I don't know whether or not this was meant to be

just the status or a community-wide notice, but Trish has posted photos from her and Mark's wedding 30 years ago, and it says, happy 30th anniversary to you, Mark. What an amazing journey we've had together. And look, we haven't changed a bit. Ha ha. Ha. I am so grateful we found each other.

I love you as much as I did 30 years ago. Feeling grateful. She's posted on the wrong page, hasn't she? Yeah, but everybody's kind of... It's one of the ones to know. Everybody's been real... Oh, I haven't seen any bad comments on there. Everyone's been pretty supportive about it.

30 years of marriage, that's to be commended. Yeah. Hard to do that. A lot of work involved. But she doesn't tell you about the bad times in that post. Obviously not the place. No. Next on the Onehunga community page,

Alicia has a question. You know how you can ask a question? You can do a status, put a photo, or ask a question. She says, Is it just me or does Onehunga smell like shit today? Okay. AB Junior said, it's been smelling like that for the last couple of days. At night, I notice the smell's even worse.

Now, that would depend on the wind, wouldn't it? Because there's those sewage ponds. Where are they? Over by that really flash house where they filmed Bake Off. Oh, yeah yeah By the airport Tuticaca No that's not right That's not what it's called

But on the way to the airport Now if the right wind was blowing Maybe I'm talking maybe like a Those ponds are treated though South westerly The ponds are treated Don't people fish there?

And only hunger Have we think in the same spot? You don't fish in a poupon George No You won't catch Well you wouldn't catch the nicest fish. You won't catch a snapper. Damn, that's where I get my tadpoles from.

Oh, what about the oxalotles? They're dead. They can't handle it. They can't handle it. They can't handle it. Next up, this is a nice, nice notice from the Ashburton Notice Board. And Ashburton's had a hell of a week, and it's good to see the community rallying together.

So Nicole writes, if there's any truck drivers stuck on the tin wall side of the bridge, you're most welcome to come to ours for a shower, shit or a shave. Okay, great. I said it was nice. I didn't say it was classy. My husband's a truck driver, so I'm more than happy to help out when needed. Help the truckies. Just

PM us. Good on them. And someone else said, yeah, and if you're on this side of the bridge, you can have a shower at ours. Oh. Everybody's showering. Nice. And Ashburton. They're not shaving can have a shower at ours. Oh. Everybody's showering. Nice. And Ashburton. They're not shaving in other people's places. Yeah, that'd be weird, eh, Georgie?

You certainly wouldn't shave your pubes in a shower that you weren't pretty much the exclusive user of. And finally, from the Rotorua buy, sell, swap, no time wasters page, Samuel is trying to find the tall brunette with the near-perfect body at Pack and Save Rotorua tonight at about 5pm. You farted in the bread section and then turned around as if to see who did it. And I

was the tall, slightly stocky, shaved head, bearded wonder who gave the look as to say, ah, come on, we all know it was you as I waved two loaves of nature's fresh toast slice to try and fend off the toxic cloud that was emanating from your perfectly toned rear. I smiled and said, it's all good.

We all let one slip now and then, and you stormed off still denying it was you. Well, anyway, I think you're super hot, even if you are a liar. And I was hoping to get you another. Wow. Would that work on you, Georgia? I would probably be doing exactly what the brunette did. Be like, who did that?

Yeah, if you fart in the supermarket, you're always like, hold your fart until you walk past that open muscle thing where you've got to push the button to stop the salt water. Yeah, because that's it. Yeah, because they'd already stink. Yeah, exactly. A more overpowering odour. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page,

screen cap it and send it to us, FVMZM. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I saw it yesterday when I was us, FVMZM. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. I saw it yesterday when I was online and I was like, how do you stop this? It's so annoying. When you Google something, like, for example,

I Googled my, what's that squirty fragrance? I like the, in the red bottle. It's Versace something. I am just, yeah, you know what I call it. It's Versace something. I am just, yeah, you know what I call it. It's not appropriate. Sometimes to say what it's called.

But it works, Georgia. It works. It doesn't work. It works, Georgia. I'll tell you what, it's, you've just got something

in the corner of your mouth. Oh yeah, I was, yeah. Oh, thank you. Oh, that's a bit of Mandarin.

Yeah, yeah, I knew it might have been Mandarin related. I'm glad you said, because I'm one of those people that's like, do I say,

or do I never say? Well, I tell you what, it's weird because literally like. Yeah, yeah, I knew it might have been Mandarin related. I'm glad you said, because I'm one of those people that's like, do I say or do I never say? It's weird because literally like we could have gone on and no one listening would have known Fletch had Mandarin in the corner of his mouth. But at the same time, if this is going to end up as a video online. Oh, yeah, you wouldn't want the Mandarin there. Yeah. Thank you. I also might not have taken in what Fletch was saying

because I would have been like, there. Looking at the Mandarin. Okay, well, am I good to go now? And that's when I know I've got something on my face when you're like talking to someone, but the eye contact isn't to your eyes, it's like to your chin or something. I'm always like, oh, there's something in my beard. Oh, no.

Okay, so go on. So I Google this fragrance to buy, which is a great fragrance, Georgia. It's why I smell so delicious sometimes. Actually, you walk past them and I'm like, whoo. Yeah, there you go. And so I Google this because I've run out. It's like I go and it's gone. So I'm like, oh my God.

So I got a bargain online. Is it Eros Flame? Yes. Yeah, that's the one. Damn it, now I've Googled it. Yes. And so I Google it and I find a real cheap price. I think the market was the best place.

So I ordered it. 10 to 15 days I'm going to smell like, you know, average. Until then. Just my deodorant. And so I buy it. It's coming. And then like for the last like four days, every time I go to a website, it's ads for it.

That's your targeted marketing. It's ads for that. Everywhere I go, it's ad, ad, ad, ad. And it's like, no, but I've bought it now. I don't need this ad. They want you to get the gift pack with the moisturizer. They just want me to keep buying it. So it's like, how do you stop?

How do you tell Google I've bought this already? I don't know. That would be interesting. Like the targeted advertising, you know how sometimes the ads you can click on them and the little information, there'll be a little I, it'll say ads by Google and see, it'll open up this page and it'll say, why this ad It'll say Ads by Google. And see, it'll open up this page, and it'll say Why This Ad?

And it said Ad Personalization, and then who the advertiser is. And then you can go to your Ad Settings, so you can update your choices. So maybe in Ad Settings, you could click and be like, this no longer applies. No smelly stuff. I don't need it.

I'm good. I know what fragrance works for me. Could you just delete your whole internet history? But I don't like that, because then you have to go through and your logins are gone and stuff. Okay, so I've clicked on ad personalisation

in the Google settings. So again, somewhere in that ad, that personalised ad, there's going to be an eye information icon. Click on that. So ad personalisation.

How your ads are personalised. It says, we know you're a 35 to 44 year old male You've recently been to Trade Me Mighty Ape Trade Tested Mitre 10

TVNZ You've used accounting And financial software I have Because I use Minds are in business Through my taxes I hate this

You play action And platform games Which I do I've been playing Fortnite again lately Yeah You're interested in Action figures Which I do. I've been playing Fortnite again lately. You're interested in action figures, which I am because I buy those pop vinyls. You enjoy animated films, apparel, audio equipment. But can you click any of this away or does Google just always know this now?

Okay, so let's say, for example, let's find something I'm not actually that interested in. Cats. Okay, so cats. I click on cats and it says Google estimates your interest based on your activity on Google services such as search or YouTube while you are signed in. Manage your activity. I can turn off cats. Okay, so I need to find somewhere

in there. Does it show you what you've Googled so you can turn that off? It says it knows I work for a company that has a large employee base. How does it know? Because the company I work for is? Because you come to work and all the people at the company would be Googling.

Maybe. That's some freaky, scary stuff. I'm only up to H and it's alphabetically listed. Home appliances, home automation. J. Is it showing what you've been Googling when your wife's out? Oh, hold on. Marital status, married.

So it knows I'm married. And then underneath that, it's M, men's interests. Is that what that means? Do that weird wink. Okay, I think I'm just going to go in incognito all the time now so I don't get any advertising ads for anything. There's no, there's no, I can't see anything about. This is really, mine's just coming up with,

I'm literally on Some websites now And there's ads And it's like bikinis And bras And I'm like I think I did that once Like a summer ago

I don't need And you're still getting the ads Yeah Yeah right And interestingly enough You can There are categories On ad categories

You can turn off Like if you Suffer from Alcohol addiction You can turn off Any alcohol advertising Oh that's good And also gambling You can turn that any alcohol advertising. Oh, that's good. And also gambling.

You can turn that off if gambling's a vice. Right. Fascinating. And it's all right there. They're watching. You would think though, on those ones, if it picks up on what you're looking at or what hears you, you know how you hear the phones here, that it would almost turn those off for you because you're going to have to go, like if you say are addicted to shopping or whatever,

and you're going to have to physically go in there and turn it off yourself. That's a big step to take. You don't know how capitalism works. Clearly. It absolutely depends on your addiction to consumerism. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Hey, you on the phone, I better can guess your mum's name.

Thank you. Hey, I just was going to to say my mum goes by Ray Right that's why you were going to give us a clue No no the clue was that Pauline is my mum's twin sister Pauline and Raylene Yeah See if you told me it was a twin sister

I probably wouldn't have put Maybe what you do I bet I can guess your twin's name Yes When this runs its course Everyone's got a mum Not everyone has a twin Yeah it's very niche Yeah

Very niche Super niche I'm horning Horning, horning, horning Fetch one and Megan's long weekend group toot The unmissable event On tomorrow's podcast ZM.

Oh, what's in the box? All right, we're at the box. Yeah, we're going to put some punch in some codes. Now, we gave away $5,000 earlier this week, all thanks to Marvel Studios' Black Widow in cinemas July 8th. It's streaming on Disney Plus with Premiere Access July 9. Conditions apply. Super excited to see this movie. I've seen the trailer. This was supposed to come out last year. It's been delayed a few times

but July 8th is the actual date. It's happening, baby. It's happening online. Scarlett Johansson is Black Widow and for the comic book fans, an appearance of Taskmaster which is not Jeremy Wells Fletcher. You were confused a little bit before. I was like, that's a weird crossover. But one of the greatest

villain anti-heroes of the MC. Alright, well, a chance to win cash or whatever's inside the box, we don't know. But we do know that we need a four-digit pin and we're giving you the chance to guess that. Courtney joins us. Good morning, Courtney. Good morning, guys. How are you?

Alright, good, good. Now, Vaughan's going to pop in the code. What code do you want us to try? Okay, 0621. Okay. Now, Courtney, that's not your pin number, is it? No, no. It's actually, like, June 2021. Oh, okay.

Okay. So you think it's a month, a date-related pin? Okay, Vaughan is going over to the box now. No. No. Oh. No. So let's add that to the list of pin numbers it is not. Okay, we can cross that off.

Maddie, what pin do you want Vaughn to try? Um, 0807. Any reason? What's 0807 to you? Um, they said that was the release date. Oh. Okay, yes. Yeah, good, good was the release date. Oh, yes. Yeah, good, good, good, good.

Okay, here we go. 0807. No. No, not the release date. All right. Wipe that one off. Good try, Matt. Give us a four-digit pin for the box.

Why is everyone saying zero? Is that a clue or something? No. No, it's not. Purely coincidental. All right, I might try. I might stick with the release date, but I'm going to try 8721.

Pardon me, eight? 8721. 8721. Oh, yeah, you got 21 in there on the index. Okay. Okay. No. No, it's not.

All right, Matt, it's not. Well, Georgia, you're going to have another shot at midday. Yeah, that'd be great if it went in my show. I wouldn't be mad about that. Maybe I get to give away $5,000. What's going? What's going, though? We don't know what's in the box.

I've just got a feeling if you gave away $5,000 yesterday, surely it's at least $10,000. Georgia, we've famously under-promised and over-delivered here. Okay, 500 bucks. Alright. We go to the social media desk where Carwin San Diego is sitting, which is another

idea I've got for a thing to do on the show. Where in the world is Carwin San Diego? Because her name's like Carmen. Yeah, it is like Carmen San Diego and we get Because her name's like Carmen Yeah it is like Carmen San Diego and we get her to explain cities

and then guess where she is and guess what city she's in Oh I actually quite like that game I don't know why I think because I grew up with Carmen San Diego I'm like yes I'm on board

We all grew up with some version of Carmen San Diego Dora the Explorer for me What? Well we knew who Dora was She was never lost She was never lost.

She was never lost. She was exploring. But what did Carmen do? Carmen was, she was a thief and she was somewhere in the world and she was leaving behind clues. Like Carmen last spent pesos. Where could she be? And you'd be like, what country has pesos?

Oh, but definitely maybe South America somewhere. Yeah, somewhere. It's not Greece. That's dumb. Like that dude that wears the hat and he's got whips and chains and stuff. I don't know what website you're talking about. Carmen Sandiego wears a hat. Yeah.

A big red hat. Indiana Jones? Yes, that's the one. He doesn't do that, Georgia. He steals Nazis gold. Carmen Sandiego, back to you. You've got a list on your phone. Yeah, I foolishly told producer Jared

about this yesterday and now I'm regretting it severely. So I'm going to give a little bit of backstory because it's not just random. Okay. So when you first start dating someone, you have weird conversations, right? And my current boyfriend and I started talking about our favourite chip flavours. This is very important. Going forward, you're going to want to know that you can get a bag of chips. Yeah, yeah. And be able to share those forever. Exactly.

My wife and I are very compatible in the chip department. Yeah, you are. But they were giving away free chips here yesterday. And they said, come out to the kitchen, everyone. And then I got there and they were really salted. And I walked away in disgust. I was like, at least give me a salt and vinegar. Who gives away really salted?

At least give dip with the really salted, right? Yeah. Now we're talking. Anyway. So on your phone, there is a list. What did you discuss this in your relationship and then be like, okay, reconvene back here tomorrow night with your list of your top five or top ten favourite chips?

Yes, that is exactly how it went. Break, annulate, and break. And then you just skitter off to different rooms. How long into the relationship has this taken to find out your favourite chip? Oh, no, it was very early on. Okay, good. Yeah, right.

It's important, obviously. Yeah. So, yeah, I have a top three favourite chip. No, no, no, no, no, no. No one does a top three list. It's got to be a top ten or top five. It's got an honourable mention. Okay.

So you've effectively given medals out to these chips. Yes. This is a medal ceremony for your personal chips. Give us your honourable mentions and then go 3, 2, 1. Okay. Honourable mention is, I think it's Tostitos, the smoked Chipotle flavour. They're like unreal

corn chips. Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, yep. I haven't had those. Number 3, Copper Kettle Salt and Vinegar. Great flavour. Great chip. Great chip, great flavour. Yuck. I have a feeling Fletcher's going to lie on my list. There better not be sour cream and chives up here. No.

Good, good, good work. Number two, Delicioso. Delicioso. Okay, right. The Sweet Chilli Once. Oh, yeah, those are yum. Those are good. Those are yum.

That's a good chip. This is a good list so far. Thank you. And then number one is Copper Kettle Sea Salt, but it has to be cold from the vending machine. You's a good chip. This is a good list so far. Thank you. And then number one is copper kettle sea salt, but it has to be cold from the vending machine. You like all those copper, the kettley fried chips. Yeah, those are yum. Those real crispy ones.

Nah, I like a thicker chip. But I like my cheese balls and my manchos. No, we're not talking cheese-flavoured chip snacks. Those don't even qualify as chips. They're a different breed altogether. It wasn't even the chips on the list. I mean, that did get a lot of talking. I can't believe after the strong bottom end,

you had a plain salted chip. They have to be cold from the vending machine. A cold chip. But again, really salted. Get some more flavour on there. It wasn't more the fact that you've got a list of chips. It was just the fact that there's a list on your phone which got other people saying that they also have lists on their phone. Yeah. I had a list of chips. It was just the fact that there's a list on your phone which got other people saying that they also have lists on their phone.

Yeah. I had a list of baby, I had before the girls were born, I had a list of baby names on my phone and like combos. So like we knew we liked Indiana, but then we had all the different combos that we could put in the middle.

Yeah, right. And then with August as well, because we both liked August, but I liked the name Dakota. Yeah. And so I had the Dakota combination. But then Dakota Johnson, so you were like, ugh. Yeah, and Dakota Fanning.

But they were right. She hadn't done the nudie bits at that stage. Not that that would put me off naming it or it would matter. But, yeah, she wasn't a super well-known Dakota at that stage. But I had baby names. I had a baby names list on my phone. And so it got us talking about having lists on your phone, and a lot of people do.

Georgia? I've got a list of the next duvet cover I want to get. The next colour. That is a tough decision. What do you mean the next colour? Well, because you've got to change it up every year. Yeah, but just go to the duvet store. You get a new duvet cover every year.

Well, Hayne doesn't know this. Nice. We've got a 1%er in our bank. We are bargain hunting over here when we do it. Thank you very much. So we want to ask this morning on 0800 dials at M9696 what list do you have on your phone?

Yeah, what are you listing? What are you listing on your phone? Is it baby names? Is it a list of everyone you've slept with this year? Oh, I actually had a friend that had a list like that. I just realised that I'm not supposed to say that, but I know someone. Well, you haven't said their name.

No, true, true, true. So she remembers their names and she could just keep a track of the number. You know how you have the chat sometimes, like, how many have you slept with? Or like that kind of stuff. And it's like, oh, well, she obviously needed to remember everyone that she'd slept with.

So that makes it sound like a lot though. No, but it's not a lot, but it was more just, just to make sure. For specifics. It's contact tracing. Yeah, exactly. Ashley Bloomfield said

you've either got to scan in or make a list. He did, he did. I recently, I recently shaved a QR code into my pubes. So you scanned. Not a lot of check-ins.

No. So 0800-DARLS-ATM-9696 What are you keeping a list of on your phone? Tell us We want to know what you've got a list of on your phone You guys are weird Listeners Okay, well maybe don't say that about listeners

I like you, don't get me wrong But you're a bit weird But you're weird But I love this Isn't it fascinating knowing what people have a list of on their phone? You know this one. I have a list of all the people who have ever seen my boobs. Including medical professionals?

Like, is this literally everyone that's seen the boobs or boobs only in a romantic setting? You might have to put a yeah. My 18-year-old daughter has a list on her phone of all of her friends who are pregnant or have had kids, and the list is like 20 plus. Why do you need a list of that? I don't know. Because she doesn't, maybe she doesn't want to have a baby,

so she's like got that list of people that have had a baby. Yeah, maybe. Or to not forget their birthdays. Yeah, maybe. Maybe baby's birthdays, maybe. A list of puppy names, baby names, things I want done by 2023. I call this my manifestation list. Oh yeah, that's good.

And the pros and cons of leaving my old job. Oh, okay. Mmm. Um, Becca joins us. Becca, what list do you have on your phone? I have a list of all the positive things about my partner. So when he's made a bit of a douchebag, I can remember he's not half that bad. Right, when he's still out drinking,

when he's drinking out with the lads, you're like, let me just bring up this list. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It helps a lot. It mentally calms me down quite a bit. Do you ever remove things from the list? Sometimes.

It depends on how much of an egg he's been. Maybe I'll delete one occasionally and then it'll come back after a certain time. Right. So he has to re-earn that quality. Yes, 100%. So if it's, like, thoughtful, and you're like, well, he's not being thoughtful, delete it.

But then a couple of days later, he does something thoughtful, you're like, I'm putting it back on the list. Yeah, exactly. It's like a points system. I love that. What would happen? How low would his points have to get before you were just like the bad outweighs the good,

it's over? Well, he's just asked me to marry him, so he's kind of up there on the points at the moment. Yeah, high points. He'd have to get pretty low, like maybe two points left. Does he know about the list? No, he doesn't know about the list.

That's amazing. I tell you what, you're not the only person with a list that their partner doesn't know about. Somebody last messaged you and saying, I've got a list of all the dumb stuff my partner said to me to hurt my feelings without me, without him even realising it. But if you found the list. And somebody else said they've got a list of things they wish they'd said to their partner, but in the heat of the moment, they decided to put them down in their phone instead and look at them and then revisit them in 45 minutes

to see if they still wanted to say them and didn't. But if he ever saw that list, he would straight up break up with me because there are some horrible things in there. Laura, what list do you have on your phone? I have a list of future farm animals that I want. Highland cows. Oh, right.

Okay, what's on the list then? I've got highland cows. Oh, like Vaughan what's on the list then? I've got highland cows. Oh, like Vaughan's. They're Vaughan's fluffy ones, aren't they? Good animals. Yeah, so their names would be haggis, ironbrew, and then I'd have a calf called shortbread. Oh, you're classic Scottish.

What other animals are on your list? I'd love to put you off some. I've got coony coony pigs. Okay, I won't put you off them because they're really cute. Yeah, I always love when I see those. Yeah, that's a good animal. Yeah, and then one would be called Susan. I love this is on the list as well.

It's a great name for a Kunikuni. That's a great name. Yeah, and then alpacas. No, don't, but carry on. Okay. And some goats. Yeah, I'd hum and har about them, they're bastards.

And my sister, she's got llamas and she would call them Cusco, Cronk and Esmer. Wow. And these are all on the phone, again, like a manifestation.

You put it out there, it's on the list, you'll get it one day. Yeah. I reckon alpacas over llamas though, right? Because they don't spit. Alpacas are smaller. Llamas are bigger.

But they're both like bred for like extreme conditions in the Andes and they get like real sweaty here. Thanks, you're cool, Laura. Anonymous, what do you, what list do you have on your phone? So I have a list

that I have used my period tracker to keep track of. Okay. So I've lost my symptoms. So I've got like, today I had headaches, today I had sore boobs. And then there's another category which I use to log guys that I've slept with. So they'll be like, sore boobs, headache, Jeremy, on that day. That's so good.

Jeremy wasn't the cause of the sore boobs or the headache, was he? I mean, that's really up for debate. He's a rough lover, old Jeremy. Do you ever give them nicknames? No, because my whole thing about doing it was that if there was ever sort of like a whoopsie and I had to track down who was the daddy, that I could go back and identify exactly who he was.

Yeah, and it's a period you can be like... There is a Jeremy out there right now being like... What have I done? What have I done? Anonymous, thank you for your call. Some text messages in. I would say keeping a list on your phone of people you sleep with

would be the most popular text message we've had. Yeah, we've had so many of those. So many people. Somebody else said, I am keeping good points about my grandparents because I've heard from people when your grandparents pass away and you want to speak at their funeral,

it's hard to remember all of the great things they've done. So I'm keeping a running tally of all the great things. Like a wedding, you just print a speech off the internet and change the names. Yeah. I reckon if you just say like that, you're a sunshine girl.

Like it's all the nice metaphors you can probably say with grandparents, right? Chuck a lot of. Look looked after me really well. I have a list of cool sounding words that I like to use. Every now and then I'll open it up and be like, that word sounds cool. I must try to use that. Funeral songs. Lots of people with lists of

restaurants they want to eat at. They've heard people talking about, but they can never remember when it's time to go out for dinner. They can never remember any of the names of what people said. Yeah. I've got a list of the TV shows and movies I need to watch next. Yes. Because you're always in the middle of a TV show when someone tells you about another

TV show, and you always forget about it when you get to the end of the current TV show. By the way, I just finished Mirror of Eastwood? East Town. Eastbourne. I've just finished Mirror of Eastbourne yesterday. Eastbourne. Very popular for Wellington. Oh, my God.

It's amazing. It is amazing. Right. Watch it. Great. And Kate Winslet's incredible. Somebody else said puppy names for when I eventually get a puppy. I've got a list of names.

Rather than having to panic about it when I get it, the names include Stuart, Ned, Norm, Ralph, Murphy, Pablo, and Stanley. Pablo. I like Pablo. Pablo's a great name for a dog. I've got a list of weddings I've attended. Currently at 16 weddings. And how many divorces?

Four divorces so far. This is what I need to work out because I reckon I'm at a 50% divorce rate for all the weddings I've been. For wedding attended. Why don't you start a list? Well, I could do.

You'd have to go back. Just think through it. Somebody else said, I've got a list of qualities I want in the next guy I date. Okay. I've got the top ones prioritised in bold.

Oh, okay. They have to at least tick those three before they can move into the next section. Yeah, right. I've got a list of all the positives

about my partner. Somebody else with positives about their partner on their phone. Somebody else said, I've got positive things I like about myself

on my phone. So if I'm having a bad day where I feel phone. And somebody else said, I've got positive things I like about myself on my phone. So if I'm having a bad day where I feel not fantastic, I'll see what I've liked about myself on previous days. I can't believe they've had people with lists on their phone. I feel like I'm not keeping up with lists. I know, not doing enough, right? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Hey. Yes. Happy day to you, friend. Okay. You, of everybody here, you're the person that should celebrate this day the most. Here we go. What day is it today? It's World Bicycle Day.

I have a bicycle. You do. Yeah, okay. And you ride it more than most people. So, it was declared. But, hey, I'm not one of those six abreast hog-in-the-road cyclists in my clippy-cloppy Don't turn your back on your own people. The people get stuck behind and they meep, meep, meep.

Those are your people. I also like, did you see the civil disobedience of the people cycling across the Harbour Bridge at the weekend? Yeah, I didn't even know about that. The police should have pepper sprayed the lot of them. I would have actually gone for a hoon just so I could say I've gone across the bridge. It would be fun.

I'd be at the back though so I didn't get arrested. The police are like, no, don't, don't, no, too late, you are. It should have been like, crack, crack. Like get out those shotguns

with the beanbags. Yeah. Yeah, rubber bullets. Psh, tear gas. Psh, pepper spray. Or just put the baton in the spokes. Yeah.

That'll get a cyclist off. Someone driving around and then psh, it could have been absolute carnage and it could have been known as like Some pepper spray. Just put the baton in the spokes. Yeah. That'll get a cyclist off. Someone driving around in there. It could have been absolute carnage. And it could have been known as like the Harbour Bridge bike riots. The Harbour Bridge massacre. Yeah. Yeah.

So today is World Bicycle Day, a day put into place by the UN, the United Nations General Assembly, in 2018 in April said June 3rd will be International Bicycle Day. Okay. In researching for this, I found out like a whole lot of bike facts. Okay. For example, in the US, 1% of any transiting is done on a bicycle. 1% in the Netherlands, 34%.

Oh, the Netherlands, the first time, like when I went there, I was blown away. Like you're always nearly getting hit by cyclists. They have multi-level, like we have car parking buildings. They have those, but for bikes. And there's just bikes. Everybody bikes. Everywhere. Yeah.

Trained to everything. And in winter, you'll see them in the snow. It's like minus four. They're cycling to work. Still cycling. It's crazy. But today's main fact of the day for World Bicycle Day is that the word bicycle was created

from the French word bicyclette. Yeah. Which means obviously two wheels going in a circular fashion. There is a cycle to it. Before this, bicycles were known as velocipedes. Which to me is the better name

and henceforth I shall say children, let's go for a ride on the velocipedes, which to me is the better name. And henceforth, I shall say, children, let's go for a ride on the velocipedes. That sounds awesome. I know. Sounds like a dinosaur bicycle. It does. It sounds like a dinosaur bicycle. That's fast. Velocipeds.

I've probably been saying that wrong. Velocipeds. Yeah, right. Not velocipedes. But this includes like the penny farthings, all the wacky bikes that were like two massive wheels or one small wheel and one massive wheel, and they were all considered velocipedes until they were renamed bicycle. And it just rolled off the tongue a little bit easier,

but feel free to call them velocipedes. So today's fact of the day is before they were called bicycles, they were called velocipedes. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I'm horning, horning, horning, horning. Fetch one and Megan's long weekend group toot. The unmissable event on tomorrow's podcast, ZM. Now, I don't want to give away the secrets of how radio works, but we'll talk about something and then we'll say,

hey, you should give us a call if this happened to you. And that's a peek behind the curtain. Yeah, there's generally discussion as to if it's too niche and we won't get enough calls. And then we'll broaden the topic slightly. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And for example, could we give an example of an earlier?

If you want, yeah. Well, we did. I don't think people get it. Where when didn't you fit about the concrete truck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, we thought we could specifically talk about vehicles getting stuck, but then we thought open it a little bit wider, invite a whole lot more people to contribute to the show.

And we heard about people getting stuck in all kinds of places. Millions. Wasn't it neat? Millions of people had stories. So I am proposing a new segment on the show, which is extremely high reward but high risk. That's how I play life. You've got to risk it for the biscuit.

Now, I thought before we go and make an intro for this segment, we'll try it once and if it's good and we like it, we'll make an intro. Okay. And I'm proposing we call it something along the lines of the impossible phone-in topic. Great. Because what I'm about to propose now is asking people to call

and I don't think we'll get a call. Okay. At all. At all. At all. Now, I bring you a story from the United States in California where a student pilot was flying along with his trainer,

learning to fly a Cessna. You know those common small light planes you see parked on the grass when you're flying somewhere at an airport. Okay. The ones that are always crashing. If your phone and topic is, have you flown a Cessna? No, it's not that. Okay. Because I was going to say, I and topic is, have you flown a Cessna?

No, it's not that. Okay. Because I was going to say, I'd imagine lots of people have flown a Cessna. Lots of years. No, no, lots of people have. Not millions. So. Hundreds.

This student pilot, the plane gets into difficulty. And so the instructor takes over. It's not known at this stage why they needed to make an emergency landing. But they ended up landing on a freeway in Los Angeles with, and there's a video, like during traffic, like oncoming traffic. How did they clear the room? How did they not just plow into every car that was on the... They just landed in a space that literally didn't hit any other cars.

The cars around them saw the plane coming in and stopped. I'm at this stage, can I pause you? I'm looking forward to what your topic for phone-in is going to be because... Well, this is why it's the impossible phone-in topic. I was going to say. When have you had to land somewhere that wasn't a runway? How good is that? So for someone to participate in this phone-in topic, they need to have flown a plane. Absolutely. Landed a plane. How good is that? So, for someone to participate in this phone-in topic, they need to

have flown a plane. Absolutely. Landed a plane. Yes. But not on a runway. And I'm guessing emergency situation. Yeah. Because for whatever reason, the runway wasn't available. On a non-runway surface. Yes.

How good is this? It's the impossible phone-in topic. Now, we'll open up the phone lines. 0800 DARS at M. Text in 9696. No one's going to call because it is the impossible phone-in topic. There will be someone who's done it, but whether or not they're listening.

No, it's the impossible phone-in topic. It's never happened. Nobody listening's done it. I haven't seen our audience brag down of small aircraft owners or flyers is all. Non-existent. Right, non-existent. So I'm saying whenever you had to make an emergency landing

on something that wasn't a runway, no one's going to call. This is the new segment, the impossible phone-in topic. And you know what? We'll come back next and I'll say I told you so. Okay. I told you so. So after this break, I'm going to come back and say i told you so well this is my new idea for a radio feature it's called the impossible phone and top and like

i could use the mission impossible theme tune that's not used enough on radio these days it's it's really it's really been underused recently for a long time so i brought you the story and this is how the impossible phone and top it works I brought you the story of a Cessna that had to crash land, emergency land on a freeway, a busy freeway in LA, like the motorway. And I said to you this morning,

this is how the impossible phone works. You put it out at impossible, surely no one's done that. Well, you have failed miserably because we've had more text messages about this topic than we had for our other two topics we talked about this morning. Are you kidding? About lists on your phone or where did you get stuck

or where did you not fit. Okay, so this is... We've had more response to your impossible... No, we have not. We have not. We've not had more response to the producer's booth, executive intern, have we not had more response for the impossible phone-in topic

than we had for the actual... Phone-in topics. ...topics. Yeah, this is absolutely wild. Are you kidding me? I said you have to call up if you've crash-landed, emergency-landed on something that's not a runway. I know.

Sometimes we do, like, what's your dog's name, and we don't get any calls. Everybody's like, well, I'm not calling you. That's stupid. Everybody's dog's got a name. Okay, well, I tell you what. We'll come back next, and we'll see. Because I'm going to have a heart. It's got to be an emergency landing.

Mate, not on a... There are hundreds of texts. No! And it is a brand new feature. It's called the Impossible Phone and Topic. Which Vaughan is now telling me is not impossible because I gave you the story of the student and the teacher that had to make an emergency landing on an LA freeway,

a motorway, with traffic all around it. It was super busy and no scratches, no damage to the plane, all cars, perfect. And so I said, the impossible phone-in topic, have you ever crash landed on something or emergency landed on something that wasn't a runway? So many calls. This is, I'm going to have to try harder next time. Let's start with Stephen. Good morning, Stephen. Good morning. How are you going?

Good. Now, have you had to emergency land on something that wasn't a runway? Yeah, we were in, I take a helicopter's count. Oh, I don't know, Stephen. They can land anywhere on a hard surface. Famously, they can go straight out. And I have landed everywhere, but this was, we were up near a mountain and the engine cut out and we had to auto-rotate onto a bridge.

Oh, no. Onto a bridge! Okay, Stephen, that's impressive. Yeah, yeah. No, the pilot just went quiet. Like, he was just chatting away, and suddenly he went quiet, and we were landing. And we were going, what's going on?

And, yeah, no, it was actually a bit of an anticlimax, but afterwards it was probably quite scary. Do you land quite heavy on, what did you call it, auto-rotate? Does it just spin around? No, look, it's sort of like, just the helicopter went quiet, the blades are still going, and you're just coming down fast, and then he flares the blades,

it makes a sort of real woo-woo-woo-woo noise. Oh, no. No, no, no. Yeah, like when a kettadoo's coming in to land in a tree and it's going to stop all its mass at once and it flicks its wings out. Okay, Stephen, thank you. Let's go to Victoria now.

Victoria, your dad had to make an emergency landing on something, not a runway? That's right. Morena Cosa. Yeah, my dad, this actually happened in Brazil. He took off. He's a hand glider, and he took off from a mountain that's about 800 metres high, and you're supposed to land on this patch of grass by the beach.

But I don't really know the exact details, but he ended up having to land on the water, and it was quite chaotic. The beach surfers had to come in and try and rescue him because he just, you know, you can get enveloped by the glider like a flower, really. It's like a cocoon, yeah, that would drag you under. Right.

Okay, okay, but still, thank you for your call, Victoria. Not a powered aircraft, though. Still not a powered aircraft, though. Ebony, good morning. Hi. Welcome to the impossible phone-in topic. Have you had to make an emergency landing on something not a runway? Yes, so I used to do ACC, which is air cadets,

and I flew with Cessna, so doing practice training. Yep. And one of the girls that were actually in the aircraft with us was vomiting and going into shock, so we had to do emergency landing in a paddock. Paddocks aren't really as big as an airstrip, so we flew from an airstrip, but we actually couldn't go back to the airstrip

because we were too far away from it, so we had to do emergency landing in the paddock. So, yeah. Did you go into any three-wire fences? No, no. It was pretty all right. There was no animals getting splintered or anything like that either. No troughs, no fences.

And do you know what? That is exactly what we wanted for the Impossible phone and topic. Well, I was hoping that it would be impossible because they were in a Cessna as well. Ebony, thank you for your call. We'll finish with Regan. Good morning. Good morning, team. How are you? Good. Have you had to make an emergency landing on something, not a runway?

Yes. I'm not a pilot, but I was in the passenger seat when we were in a helicopter flying over the Kaipara Harbour and it was pretty much whiteout conditions. We couldn't see where we were going and got a bit lost. And rather than fly around and run out of fuel, the pilot decided we'd land and ask for directions.

So we landed in a pub, a car park, in the northern Kaipara Harbour. I can't even remember the name of the town. It might have been Matakaui or somewhere. Oh, my God. And everyone came out. It was in the morning, like Monday morning, and everyone came out and said,

what the hell's going on? We said, oh, we're a bit lost. Can you give us directions to get back home? They just point. Somewhere over there. Yeah, not really something I'd want to be flying. That's like a Kobe Bryant situation when they were all, it was white-out conditions.

I have nightmares about flying a helicopter, and I'm really good at it, but I forget about power lines. I always get caught in the power lines. It's like a recurring nightmare I have. Reagan thinks you call the impossible phone, and the topic has just been, I've been blown out of the, I'm going to have to find a harder story. I always get caught in the power lines it's like a recurring nightmare I have Regan thinks you call the impossible phone and topic has just been

I've been blown out of the world I'm going to have to find a harder story some great texts I was on the pilot I was flying to Great Barrier in a little plane

we were coming down and I realised we're going to miss the runway I said hey we're going to miss the runway he said no

I land on this grass because it makes my tyres last longer as at that point I realised the microphone that came out of his headset was just a straw. He was like Backstreet Boys-ing it

with a straw headset. What? Beaches. Somebody said we had to land on a beach. We were coming in to land. Dad had organised how much fuel we'd needed but then when we were coming in to land the control tower told him he couldn't land because there were planes landing before him so he just had to land on the beach because otherwise

he was worrying about doing a loop and not being able to find a place to land when he ran out of gas. Dad should have had some emergency fuel supplies. My father-in-law, he's in isolation in Auckland at the moment. In South Africa, he had to land his plane on a road due to engine problems and dodged cars. Somebody else said, my brother-in- Landed a World War II plane That engines failed On a rocky beach road

They were fine Both the plane and him Yep Lots of stories of planes Okay well My dad was the guy Who was in his plane And it broke down

And he had to glide And land on the Hamilton Expressway A couple of years ago I remember that story That's right That was crazy Great photos

I'm going to come back Next week With the impossible Phone-in topic With an even more Impossible story Because I've just been Absolutely shamed You've been shown On my first of great photos. Well, I'm going to come back next week with the impossible phone-in topic with an even more impossible story. Because I've just been absolutely shamed

on my first foray. Into impossibility. Yeah. Are we liking this for the theme tune? But you're like Tom Cruise because you thought something was going to be

impossible but it wasn't. I do it every time because I'm just so great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast why not give ZM's
