in-car spice rack. Any word on the actual spice racks touching down from mainland China? It's in Hong Kong. Is it? Contentious. So it went from China to Hong Kong. Yes.

I thought China was Hong Kong. I thought Hong Kong was China. Oh, I'm not wading into that board. I don't want to have... Did you see John Cena had to make an apology to China? In near perfect Mandarin. Yeah, well, he had to. He's been learning it for 10 years.

Has he? Yeah. How do you know it's perfect Mandarin? Well, you should have... Have you seen him deliver... No. It is... I'm watching him be like...

If he learned this by looking at how it would be said phonetically he must have been practising for a week but no apparently he's been learning Mandarin for the last 10 years wow because he swore that

if you're going to be a massive Hollywood star yeah you've got to this over a billion people of potential audience would appreciate I'm too lazy for that

I just need somebody to dub me over I just learnt the language of the hottest people. Sure, right. Spanish? Portuguese? Sure. Maybe Italian.

I like your ulterior motives there. There's always an ulterior motive. Never assume I'm doing anything for the right reasons. Yeah, fair call. All right, well, Long Week in Group 2 is coming up at 8 o'clock. The top six on the way. Sex robots. Okay way, sex robots. Okay.

Future sex robots could be hacked and they could kill you. Okay. I'm seeing this getting shared a lot on Twitter lately. People saying, wait, my future sex robot? I don't have a current sex robot, which is a very good point. Yeah. But I've got the top six other robotics of the future that could be hacked. Alright, that's coming up plus at 8 o'clock. The Box and Studio. It's got

a clue up at the moment. Numbers and codes are very much preferred, but what I really love is a four-letter word. So, pick a four-letter word, translate that into the numbers using the keypad, like you do on your phone

for an 0800 number and your chance to put it in at eight o'clock. There's only a couple of four letter words. I don't know how many four letter words there'd be. Oh, should I Google? There'd be a lot. How many four letter words in English? Are there in the English language? It's like the third option.

There are 3,996 legal four-letter words according to the official Scrabble Players Dictionary Volume 6. All right, well, good luck your chance to win cash coming up at 8 o'clock. Next, scientists have revealed these five kinds of relationships you can have with your cat. Oh, I've got a very loving, close one. Yeah, which is weird. Yeah, you let it destroy your furniture.

You don't spray it with a water bottle. Scientists have done a study with cat owners, and they have revealed these five types of relationships that people have with their cats. Okay. Very different. I think the relationship Vaughn has with his cats, especially Anakin, will probably be quite different to what you have. Yeah. Well, we're very

obviously we're very close to BFFs. Okay. I okayed the purchase of a small cat bed recently. And when I say I okayed the purchase, I mean, Sade came home with a cat bed and I was like, what's that for? And she said, so Anakin can sleep in the laundry. I was like, he's a cat.

He won't sleep on that. Find a wet towel. He has not left it. He loves it. He loves it. He loves it. He's getting old. He needs to stop spitting for his bones.

I think he might have some kidney stuff because he like wheeze inside. So we've got him set up in the laundry. He's got a litter box. Right. A bed. Food and water. Is it like a came out one? Yeah.

Oh, right. And does it look like a human bed? No, no, no, no. It's like a circle and it's got high sides on it. Oh, you're one of those. And he gets in the middle. Oh my God. Yeah, right.

I'm going to make Leo a little human bed. That's a great idea. And tuck him in with a little pillow. You've got a kid now. You're not supposed to care about your animals much anymore. They're supposed to definitely slip right down the rankings. Yeah. Before I break these down, question.

Does Major Murray Flaffington lick your hands or face? Yes, he licks my hands. Okay, cute. So like I lie on my side and I put my arms out. And then in the middle of the night he gets cold and he'll come andicks my hand. Okay, cute. So, like, I lie on my side and I put my arms out and then in the middle of the night he gets cold and he'll come and lick my hand and then he'll lie on my hands for warmth and snuggle up. Really?

It's pretty cute. Do you not have an under-the-sheets? He does not. He's not an under-the-sheets cat. We used to have a couple of cats growing up and under-the-sheets was their jam. Yeah. Do you worry about him?

Well, yeah, if I don't know where he is i'm like where is that little monster well yeah you live in an apartment and you never leave so if you can't no he just always follows me around so when he doesn't i'm always like what's he up to and last question is when other people come to the house the apartment does is he friendly to them yes feed likes everyone okay yeah he's pretty pretty friendly. So you have a friendship. I've broken it down. So there are five types of relationships with your cat. A codependent, a casual relationship, a friendship,

an open relationship, and a remote relationship. An open relationship. With your cat. Is that when your neighbours are also feeding your cat? Trying to steal it from you? So it's when they're independent, they have access to outside, they relate well to other people, they are likely to greet

visitors well, not all of them do, and have some affiliation with the owner, but little need for owner proximity and may be seen as aloof. They do not sit on the owner's lap or lick the owner's hands or face, which is why I asked you. Would that be what Anakin was, your cat?

Pretty aloof, outside a lot of the time. Yeah. And he would sit on your lap though, wouldn't he? Nah. No? Okay, he doesn't like you. No, I don't really offer. It's an open relationship.

It sounds like you're in an open relationship with your cat. Because you'll be on the couch and then he'll hop off and disappear and you'll be like, he's just gone somewhere to wee inside. Right. And so you grab me and you be like, get out of here. What's the most distant one? Remote relationships. So that's where they're cared for,

but they're not really considered to be a close friend or part of the family. And they're very independent. This sounds like a stray farm cat that you give a bowl of jelly back to. Yeah, and then it just disappears and goes off into the... Yeah. The friendship, which is what I reckon you have. The owner is emotionally invested in the cat, worries about the cat,

sees him or her as a good friend or part of the family, will often find time to play with the cat. The cat is very warm and friendly towards the owner and will often sit on your lap. Yeah. The owner is seen not only as part of the same social group, but also as a secure base. The cat relates well to others

and will greet other people when they come into the house. So they have a friendly and warm relationship. So there is a codependent relationship, which is similar to that, but they're not friendly to guests. Oh, right. They hate other people.

So they're like, you're my number one. And they get a bit weird about people coming and they're not friendly and won't sit on their lap. Oh, you're right. It's a codependency. Okay. And then there is a casual relationship

where the owner is invested in the cat, will often find time to play, but they are outdoor cats and they have a busy lifestyle and so they come inside when they want some loving and then they go outside when they... Want some more loving. Yes. With outside when they want some more loving. With someone that's a lot of loving.

Those are probably ones that will go to the neighbour's house and get jelly meat there too. But that's cute. Your one's the best one. A friendship. Yeah, but which one's the one if you get a couple of cats and you end up being really old they'll eat you when you take a fall? Do you see that lady?

I know. This lady, crazy cat lady, got eaten. The top half of her body got eaten. That's where all the good stuff is too. If you've ever seen a cat when it's eating like a bird or something, it just pulls it up and eats all the guts out. I never knew that. All the yum stuff.

I never knew that. All the good stuff. I might have started on the legs. Leave the, oh no. Thankfully you've put me right. The organs are the parts that are full of vitamins. Sustenance and calories, yes, from the... Right. How I'd eat a human by Bourne Smith.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Well, the name Karen in the last few years is synonymous with complaining to the manager. Can I speak to the manager? Can I speak to the manager? Karen haircuts. Yeah? Karen Haircuts. Yeah, Karen Haircuts. And just, yeah, I guess what we call somebody who we dislike in that kind of generation.

Yeah. It's not even a generation. I don't think it's an age thing anymore. There's like Karens of all ages. It's just people who act with a level of self-entitlement and belief that they should be looked after before and better than anyone else who happens to be there at the time. They love a talk to authority figures because they believe themselves on par with them. Well, the name Karen, according to the Social Security Administration in the United States, has confirmed that in the past few years, the name has had a rapid decline. It is now the 637th most popular baby name for girls in the US.

It's lowest ranking since 1929. But get this, last year in the US, how many babies do you think were called Karen? Six. 325. Okay, a bit more. So even with all the Karen going on, with all of that going on. Does that include middle names? Because it might be a family.

Mind you, Karen doesn't sound exactly like a William or a John. No, like Vaughn Karen Smith. Actually, that does sound beautiful. It does, Karen Smith., like Vaughan Karen Smith. Yeah. Actually, that does sound beautiful. It does, Karen Smith. Vaughan Karen Smith. It was, according to The Independent, the name was most popular in 2003, which saw 2,331 Karens. So there's a whole bunch of 17-year-old, 18-year-old Karens. Yeah, 100%.

Isn't that crazy? I would have thought it would have been more, I would have thought it would be 60s or 70s would have been the most popular decades for Karen. Yeah, because you had a lot of like 80s, your 70s, 80s Karens. A lot of 80s Karens, yeah. A lot of Karens like a generation older than me

and like my parents, my mum's age. Did we ever establish if there was a male version of Karen? There's been a lot bantered about, but nothing specifically settled on. Nothing stuck, has it? No. Yeah. Just don't complain to the manager as much, do they? No.

Men. Yeah. They'll sit there and be like. They'll just yell it. They'll just yell it. My food's not quite right. Well, say something. No, I'll eat it.

I'll eat it. I'll say something. No, don't say something Well, say something. I don't know. I'll eat it. I'll eat it. I'll say something. No, don't say something, but say something. We might get a discount. Oh, I'm saying something. And then the man just sits there like, I could have eaten it. When the wait staff comes over and he's like, I hear it's cold. I could have eaten it.

Then the wife's like, you've strung me up. Yeah, look, I've been out to a few family dinners in my time, guys. I know how this works. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. From the hard to find ZM think tank, this is the top six.

Bum bum. Hello there. Today's top six deals with the possibility that six robots of the future could be hacked. And when they're hacked, if they're robotic and have moving parts, they could murder you. You'd hope that the developers of such things

wouldn't have features that could murder you and be hacked. But what is sex apart from bits of murder? What? What? I don't know. Like, everything you do for sex, if it was done more aggressively or harder, could kill you.

Okay, don't, you don't need to. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah. It could though, right? Yeah. You think about it. Maybe someone likes...

And then that really hard is strangulation and that's how people die. God, who's signing up to test these things, eh? You could be smothered, for example, if you like. That, all these things, you know, just with a bit more power, a bit more oomph, they could kill you. So this isn't a new news story,

but I've seen a lot of action on Twitter about it lately. People are like, I don't have a current sex robot. Where's my future sex robot coming? Someone said, I'm pretty sure my wife's going to kill me at some stage anyway, so really no different. But I've got the top six other types of future robots that could be hacked. Okay. And could kill could be hacked. Okay. And could...

Kill you. Yeah. Okay. Number six on the list of the top six future robots that could be hacked and what would happen, a prostate exam nurse robot could be hacked and actually turned into a sex robot. Okay, right. Could be. Yeah.

Could totally be. Number five on the list of the top six robots that could be hacked in the future. A coffee-making robot, so a robot barista. Yeah. That could be hacked. And switch out ordinary coffee for decaf. Oh, no. I'd rather be killed by a sex robot.

At least I'd go out happy, not go out wondering why the coffee's not done anything. Number four on the list of the top six future robots that could be hacked. Delivery drone robots could be hacked, and someone could get all of your parcels. Oh, God. I know, Megan. Maybe the worst. You'd rather die at the hands of a sex robot.

I would, absolutely. Pizza delivery included. Yeah. Imagine watching it on the app, and it just flies straight past your house. You'd be like, meh. Number three on the list of the top six future robots that could be hacked and what they could do when they are hacked.

You know, not all rest homes can have actual pets in them due to allergies and the unpredictable nature of pets. And as you said before, cats' tendency is to eat dead people when they die. Robot pets could be hacked and end up smothering Nana and Granddad in the rest home, crawling on their face while they were asleep, smothering them. Twist.

It was Nana that hacked it. She wanted out. They wouldn't give her that sweet, sweet medication to end it all. Number two on the list are the top six future robots that could be hacked and what they'll do. Robot vacuums could be hacked. Okay. And purposely spread animal poo everywhere.

Oh, God. Rather than avoid it or accidentally run through it, they'll purposely hunt it out and spread it throughout the house. How's your Robbie the robot vacuum cleaner going? He's great, thank you. Okay, because you don't talk much about him now. He'll get turned on today. Oh, yeah.

Friday's generally Robbie's day to get about. Smeared any poo? Nah. Does he not go every day? get about. Smeared any poo? Nah. Does he not go every day? No, we don't do him every day. He might do a few times a week, but Fridays is house-wide. Lift up the chairs onto the kitchen table. Pull up the mat.

Drag it over the back of the couch. Like it's the last day of school term. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Helping the teacher clean up. Get everything up off the floor. And when I get home, I might clip on his mop attachment and he might do the hard floors again. A little bit of that.

Mop attachment. You know what? Because when I got it, I was like, this is a gimmick. It actually does, unless you've got like something really like... Cheese. Stained onto the... Cheese? You know, a bit of hard cheese.

Melted hard cheese. A bit of mud that's really been stomped in. Or bolognese. A bolognese stain. You'll need to get down on the hands and knees and get that out with elbow grease. But it actually does a bloody good job with the mop attachment. Yeah, right. Gets up all, like, little bits and pieces.

Call me living in the future, eh? I wouldn't have imagined this when I was a kid. And number one on the list of the top six future robots that could be hacked, those Boston Dynamic robots that are always just running and jumping and carrying boxes and flipping and, like, we kick them over and they can get back up now. They're going to be hacked at some stage, and basically when they're hacked, we're all dead anyway.

Because did you see the New York Police Department was using those Boston Robot Dogs? Were they? And people were just, like, nuts. So I think they've pulled them out of the trial. Oh, really? Yeah, because they weren't

coming down well. People aren't ready for that yet. They weren't going down well. Right. This is like that movie, Chappie. Oh, that was such a good movie. Yeah.

It was like an adult short circuit. But at least I wonder if these Boston Robots, when they are hacked, I wonder if they could sex us to death. Most definitely.

I hope so. I hope so. I hope so. That is today's top sex. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I feel like we should be, every time we read one of these studies, we should run our own version of it because we get more respondents. Okay. 2,000 people, sexually active US residents were surveyed about their current relationship

and their sexual satisfaction from the current relationship. Okay. Okay. 44% of people had had to stop in the middle of a sexual encounter because it was so bad. Whoa. These are people in a relationship. I just saw some white parts of your eyes that I haven't seen.

No, that's just people on a whole. Right. These are people In their relationship I just saw some white parts Of your eyes That I haven't seen No That's just people on a whole Right But then About half Have also said Their current partner Is the worst

They've ever had in bed What? Why are they with them? So Just adding those two up That if the worst You've ever had in bed Is your current partner

And 44% have had Stop In the middle of a sexual encounter Because it was so bad Yeah And they're the worst you've ever had in bed is your current partner, and 44% have had to stop in the middle of a sexual encounter because it was so bad, and they're the worst they've ever had, that indicates to me that their current partner, that's how bad it is. Wow. Why? Why? I don't know.

2,000 people's a lot, but you'd like a bigger sample size. And are these like... I always wonder with that if this website that runs these studies, I wonder if you'd be more drawn to complete the study on sexual satisfaction if you weren't sexually satisfied. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, unless they just asked you randomly. Right. And you didn't know what survey you were doing. And you Do you know what I mean? Yeah, unless they just asked you randomly. Right, and you didn't know what survey you were doing.

And you didn't know what it was about. That's a good, I mean, these people are in polls for a profession. You're probably right, they probably do. They probably have thought of these things. I can't imagine just stopping, being like, actually, I'm going to opt out of this because it's so bad. With your current partner. This isn't a one-night stand.

This is a relationship. It can be in a one night stand, but I'm just saying that people are saying their worst sexual experience made them stop and their partner currently, half of them is their worst. So even if it's half of that half, there's 25% of people,

and they surveyed 2,000 Americans. Quarter of that's 500 people who have stopped because their current partner is that bad. And then how does that conversation go? Is that when you're like,

I'm just not feeling well? Yeah. Suddenly in the throes of this. I've come down with something. It was another part of the story, but asked why they had stopped in the middle. One woman said their partner thought they saw a ghost. Now that's a pretty good way to get out of bad sex.

Ah! Oh my God, what's wrong? A ghost. Maybe practice your acting, because that was pretty terrible. If somebody just acted out with the ferocity that I approached that with, it's pretty obvious they're not telling the truth.

Yeah. But yeah, how's that? That's mad, it's pretty obvious they're not they're not telling the truth. Yeah. But yeah, how's that? That's mad. Amazing. Important part of a relationship and they're just like meh. Is it because and this was done recently so is it because of the pandemic? Yeah, maybe. But then that would be more like we haven't had it for a while.

It's not that it's always bad. The worst I've it was bad. It's always bad. The worst I've had. Or maybe it's got to be the worst. Maybe they've stopped trying. Yeah. Spice it up. Well, it's Friday.

That's great news. That's sex night. Sex night. Sex night for me. I want to play Fortnite with the lads. But I know The Catholics They always schedule Around the Friday

Fish and chip Friday For a Catholic And then a bit Frisky greasy Afterwards Oh yuck Not after fish and chips Yeah that's why

It's called frisky greasy Yuck On Facebook marketplace Where you'll find All manner of things Being sold I don't know It's not any worse Than the $1 reserve part on Trade Me,

but I guess it's more accessible for people who weren't always on that part of Trade Me. And people love it because they're not clipping the ticket. Yeah. Marketplace. You sell like your old iPhone or something, or your old phone. You're not paying 5% or whatever it is to Trade Me.

No, it's just a service offered within. But it's a bit more sketchy, isn't it? Because at least Trade Me, you've got authenticated users. You can see their history. Yeah. These people have also now got more than just your Trade Me profile. They have your actual physical existence on Facebook profile. Yeah, my holiday photos from 2011.

Yeah, I've been telling you, you've got to put that album on lock. You've got to make that not public. Well, this is a New World single-use plastic shopping bag. And it's currently listed for $50 in Wellington. And it is weird looking at it. You're kind of like, huh. I know. It is.

Yeah. How long ago did we get rid of those? I feel like it wasn't that long ago, but now when I look at the bag. Was it right before lockdown? Was it the start of 2020? No. Oh, no, the end of 2019. I feel it was the end of 2019.

Extraordinary effort from Kiwis. These plastic bags cut by a billion a year on from ban, and that was July 2020. So we're two years clean. Wow. We're about to be two years clean. And do you know, you remember how hard it was? Because you get to the supermarket and you'd be like,

oh, now I've got to buy more bags. I've got my bags. But it turned out it wasn't hard? It turned out it wasn't hard and you're used to it. Exactly. You've just been asked to break a habit. Yeah. And how many plastic bags are you saving?

Well, a billion. Like a habit. Yeah. And how many plastic bags are you saving? Well, a billion. Like so many. Yeah. A billion. It says they reckon a year in it was a billion. So let's just assume it was another billion. So two billion. That's good that those aren't happening.

But looking at this, it kind of makes me think, not for my house, I wouldn't be allowed to do this. Yeah. Because it wouldn't fit with the whole aesthetic. Charlotte's not awake yet and listening to the radio so I can say things like, it doesn't fit with this. Well, she doesn't let you put things on the shelf, does she?

No, she doesn't. Little toys. What have you put up there? She'll say. What have you put up there? And I will have snuck a little Land Rover model up and I'll come back later and it'll be taken down and in a drawer.

But if you could get all of the old supermarkets, maybe supermarkets that don't exist anymore, and the supermarkets that do exist, if you could find a plastic bag from each. And do that thing, remember when you were a kid and you'd put something plastic in the oven at the exact right temperature and it would shrink, it wouldn't burn, it would shrink.

I don't know if plastic bags are the right sort of plastic to do it, but you could do it with old chippy packets. But there was some... I don't know the temperature, but it was an exact plastic to do it, but you could do it with old chippy packets. Yeah, it's a different plastic though. Now, I don't know the temperature, but it was an exact science. Yeah, you're saying it could be an art exhibition. Yeah, shrink them down and put them in those picture frames that have got a bit of depth to them. Yeah, right.

And then have the picture frames of all the different plastic bags. Sade, your wife is not letting you put those on the wall. Yeah, no, it's a real Kiwiana feel to it with small pieces of plastic that we outlawed because they were terrible for the environment. But that's just an idea. Somebody else can run with it, chuck it in a museum. Just put my name on it, that's all.

That's all I require. Artistic. Thanks, I guess. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Monopoly. That's the game that I was talking about before that has caused more fights at any sort of board game related event. Family game night, flat game night, friend game night.

In the history of board games. Yeah. Wow. Okay. One in five people have been banned from board game night because of their behaviour and the game that causes that behaviour, Monopoly. It's because there's so many aspects, right? It's just not straightforward.

And there's that weird mix of complete luck with the roll of the dice and just outright you just couldn't destroy somebody. The idea of the game is to destroy someone. And when you destroy them, they're bankrupt. They are out of the game. They're the loser. In other games, the game of life for example, where you get around

the board, it's a lot of luck and it's on you to make decisions. Monopoly, the people that can end you are literal, you know, the people you're playing with. Yeah. They're the ones.

If you just happily went around the board, oh, yeah, I own that one. Neat fun. Oh, yeah, cool. No rent. It would go on forever. But the other people playing are out to literally end your time playing. And these are your nearest and dearest. Exactly.

It feels personal, doesn't it? And when they're siblings, you know, I mean, you know what it's like having siblings. Yeah. It's very easy to fight. And then someone's in charge of the money and that never goes well. There's always cheating. You need an external banker, of course. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I honestly don't think I've ever played a game of Monopoly with my brother. Just because you just couldn't. I don't think it was ever even on the table. Do you think you could try this Christmas if you're all together? And film it?

Livestream it. This is how I know that won't happen. Yeah. He doesn't even come home for Christmas because he knows it'll probably end in an argument. So he's not going to come home and then if that's all going well, really...

Roll the dice on some Monopoly. Literally roll the dice on some Monopoly. Literally roll the dice on some Monopoly. I literally don't think I've ever played a game in Monopoly and not packed a sad. Right. Every time because I don't know. I don't win. I'm not very good at it.

I always beat my brother at Monopoly. I was always a banker. That was not a coincidence. You were also an embezzler. I was a white-collar criminal. Yes. Absolutely. Monopoly, you can play a quicker version now.

We've got it at home. Oh, yeah. And it's over in 20 minutes. Like 20 minutes is the average. Really? It's not the card one. I forget. Empire or something.

And you buy brands and it's the first to fill up their tower. Is it lame? No, it's good because it's over really quick. Oh, right. Any arguments? And the best part about it is, in the entire time we've played it as a family, we've probably played 20 games,

Sade hasn't won once. Not once. And August wins over half the games. Really? But is that luck though? A lot of luck and just boldness. So this study that's found Monopoly causes the most arguments. Are there any like runners up?

To Monopoly? Yeah. Chess is on there, which is weird, but I think that's probably just because you don't see it coming and then you just get smashed. Apparently board games have been played more recently because of the pandemic. The pandemic and people trying to get involved. What about Scrabble? Yeah, people arguing over words. People argue over words. The dictionary kind of the pandemic. The pandemic and people trying to get involved. What about Scrabble?

Yeah, people arguing over words. People arguing over words. The dictionary kind of solves that. Yeah, but then people say, no, that's a word. It's a slang word. What about Cranium? Yeah, see, that was the one I was thinking would cause the most. Yeah.

Yeah, especially if you team up with your partner and you're trying to do a hard work. Modern. And they're rubbish. Suck at humming. Modern games, Cranium's got to be up there because especially when you play with someone who gives up, not going to mention names, but her name starts with S and rhymes with Sade.

She'll just give up halfway through and we just sit there and watch the timer go down. Headbands. We've got headbands. But the problem with headbands is I have to rely on my family knowing that a penguin has feathers and not fur. I was a penguin once. Oh, my God, we literally had this argument like a week ago. Yeah, and I was like, do I have feathers? And they were like, um, no.

And so I'm like, well, it's not a bird. So I dance off into the area of mammals that have got fur. It's not. It's a penguin. They thought a penguin had fur. Yeah. Horses have hair, right? Hey, not fur.

Horses have hair. See that? It almost ended our marriage about a week ago. What did he think they had fur? Fur. I was like, come on, mate. It's horse hair. Yeah.

You don't say, oh, better go brush the horse to get all that horse fur off it. Right? Yeah, totally. So we want to ask the question now. 0800DARLS.M, you can text as well, 9696. What board games kicked it off? Yeah, what board game has ended in an argument?

And did it result in that board game being banned from your family board game night? Yeah, how bad did the board game night get? Has, like you said, it almost ended our marriage, you were saying that, you know, tongue in cheek. But has a board game been the straw that broke the marriage camel's back? She wasn't. A horse has hair, not fur.

If he does that again, he's out. Yeah. So we want to know when board games and what board game is banned in your house. It turns out Monopoly leads to the most arguments out of any board game. Probably because it's the most played board game too. And also it's... And this is another thing you play it with up to five other people.

Six people can play Monopoly at once, right? You can probably play as many people as you want. Imagine playing with like 12 people. That would be chaos. It'd be dropping like flies. Oh, what a great idea! So we want to know from you this morning how the board games have led to fights. How bad it's got. Oh, what a great idea. So we want to know from you this morning how the board games have led to fights, how bad it's got. Mai, what happened?

Hi. One Christmas we were playing Scattergories, and one of the things we had to list was an action, and my uncle put down Elvis' karate kick. And him and my mum just started arguing about it because technically Elvis did not create the karate kick. So the name was E? Yeah.

Ah, so he's crowbarring karate kick into Elvis because he couldn't think of anything starting with E. Nah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, right. Okay, and so where did that end? Lots of yelling and all us cousins just walking out. And that's it.

We had to stop playing Scattergories. I tell you what, Scattergories is really making an appearance on the board. Scattergories is banned in my house reads as text. We were playing it on our ski holiday with our family friends. We played it on the first night and it was frosty for the next few days. Fingers were flying and I think it ended in someone else calling someone a cheating bitch and throwing the dice at them. Wow.

Okay, my thanks to you, Cole. Kelly, what board game ended with a fight? Kelly. Oh, hey, yeah. Connect4. That is very straightforward. Was it because who you were playing against was like,

Kelly, it's your turn, and you just didn't answer them? No, I'm that bad at it that I really like playing it. My boyfriend feels embarrassed for me, so he now refuses to play with me on principle that it's too easy. Oh, my God. So you miss a really easy move that he can see coming and everyone can see coming. No, I miss every easy move with

every person. I'm so focused on what I'm doing, I completely miss what the other person's doing. So it's more like your boyfriend is refusing to play with you because being in a relationship with someone so bad at Connect Four, he finds embarrassing, so he needs to forget that you're that bad at it. Pretty much.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. You'd never think that would end in fights or disagreements, Connect Four. No, no. And I would have thought that somebody winning all the time would be a good thing. But, you know. He wants a bit of a challenge. Yeah, brilliant.

Also, Connect Four would be good to throw because of all the coin things inside. They just scatter and make all that noise that they make when they fall out of the pool. Kelly, thanks. You called some text messages. Somebody said, we had a massive fight once when we were playing Scrabble because we had an American and the word was color. No. C-O-L-O-U-R. You're putting a U in there.

C-O-L-O-R. You're in New Zealand now. Spell it our way. With all your bloody Zs and everything. But we go U-R, right? Yeah, they go an OR. Yeah, they do. Articulate is another game we're hearing that causes a lot of trouble.

How does articulate work? You have to, you get a card and you have to explain what it is without saying what it is. Like taboo. How's it different to taboo? Taboo was where you got given a word and you had to get them to say that word without saying that word. So you're like mountain and lava comes out of it.

Yeah, well, yeah, it's very similar. Wait, you just said mountain. No, what was the word? Volcano. Yeah, volcano. You guys, I can see we're going to have a fight already. I'm very good at that game. I literally said mountain when lava comes out of it.

You cheated. You said mountain. It's a volcano. I can say mountain. I can't say volcano. No, you can't say mountain. You said mountain. It's a volcano. I can say mountain. I can't say volcano. No, you can't say mountain. That's cheating. Oh, my God.

It's a volcano. I know, but I have to get you to say volcano without saying volcano. So you can say mountain with lava coming out of it. You need to find the easiest way to describe exactly what it is without saying volcano. And you just looked blankly at me like, what? This is why we don't play games together. Okay, I'm not playing this game anymore. We're going to fight. without saying volcano. And you just looked blankly at me like, what? Rupert Hooch?

This is why we don't play games together. Okay, I'm not playing this game anymore with you. We're going to fight. Next on the show, producer Jared let slip something yesterday in his daily beauty routine while you were away, Megan. And we went, what? And have scheduled that for the break next to share with the country. Okay.

ZM's Fletch Warner Meganughan and Megan, the podcast. How did we get on to talking about this yesterday? I was trying to think how, what, like, I know the end result, and I know the middle part, but I don't know what initially kicked off the conversation. We were talking about something, and then producer Jarrah just piped in with this gem. With this gem.

I'm going to try to find out the origins of it. Was it about asbestos? Were we talking about asbestos Or Johnson and Johnson's ongoing That was post this Incredible Can you remember just before we got to the part where you Splashed down in the ocean

What was the Conversation that got us talking about this I think it was something to do with like talcum powder Yeah that was what we got Talking about I can't remember what got us to talcum powder though. No. This is how conversations run here. Sometimes the fun part is mapping back to how you ended up talking about one thing

and what actually branched off from. Yeah. The evolving conversation. This is where you, producer Jared, said that in your daily beauty routine. No, no. Or occasionally. Occasionally. On a special occasion, or if I'm...

When you treat yourself. Or when I'm up north at my parents'. I don't know what this is, yeah. I will, after a shower, lather up the old downstairs with some baby powder. He talcs. He talcs his downstairs. He talcs his balls.

He talcs his jennies. Is that... Should you be doing that? He wants it to look like latex that you've just unwrapped for the first time and it's covered in that cornflower stuff so the latex doesn't stick in transit. Are you doing that straight out of the shower? Like once I've dried. But isn't it still clammy?

Aren't you getting like cakes and talc? What is it with South Africans and clammy balls because mr. toy boy mr. toy boy Megan's husband likes to blow dry blow dry I haven't done it but yeah I reckon that sounds pretty fun I've seen a guy at the gym or the pool chain you remember when I saw that guy did the pool changing room doing his pubes using the dryer that they give you at the changing rooms

to dry his balls I thought that's what you were going to say I was like maybe it's a South African thing I was like dude like this is not cool like

aren't there aren't there some gyms have little stickers now being like hair dryers only to be used for hair he wouldn't do it with a public hair dryer

and he's like Jared it's on occasion I'm sorry for hair. He wouldn't do it with a public hair dryer. And he's like, Jared, it's on occasion. I'm sorry, but what does the towel miss? You dry with a towel. No, I guess it's, you're asking the wrong person. You're slow cooking your balls. Yeah, yeah, you are. No, but doesn't your hair dryer have, oh, shit. A cool setting.

Oh, rude. Do you hear that? You don't have a hair dryer. I don't have a hair dryer. You don't have a hair dryer in your house. No, I do actually have a hair dryer. Thank you. For guests. No, because remember that time I had to dry the plaster on. No, I do actually have a hair dryer. Thank you. For guests.

No, because remember that time I had to dry the plaster on my wall that I was fixing. So I brought a $10 warehouse dryer and left it going by the jib plaster and it dried it real fast. No, but some of them have like heat settings. So you don't blast it on a three heat setting. Right. Because you're cooking your balls. I guess it's clammy and if he's like going out, I don't know. I can kind of dig that but at the same time,

I dry my balls with a towel. I think that's less weird than putting talc on it because I just can't get past the fact that you'd get like. Talc's old school. I remember staying at my nan's house when we were like little, little kids and bath time was, it was a carpeted bathroom. How wacky were 80s carpeted bathrooms? Because we'd just jump in the bath and it would splash over

and then she'd be like, get in the lovely carpet wet. And I remember as a kid being like, don't put carpet in your bathroom. It's a silly idea, Marlene. So there was always two things about bath time. She washed her hair with soap and she scratched her head real hard and I can still maybe that's why me and my brother are both bald and my sister's got thin hair,

because Marlene washed our hair with soap and scratched the hell out of our scalps. And then when you got out, you got dried, and then she literally topped a toadja in talcum powder. Now, I don't want to alarm any of you. I mean, this is public knowledge, maybe not so much here in New Zealand, but in the US, Johnson & Johnson must pay $2.1 billion in damages

to women who blame their ovarian cancer on asbestos in the drug maker's baby powder. Oh, I didn't know there was asbestos in that. So you're putting that on your baby makers. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. When you take your undies off later,

I mean, aside from the asbestos, do you not have like, aside from the asbestos, do you not have like, where does the talcum powder go? Do you not have like little cakes of talc? No, you don't have like little dingleberries of talcum powder in your jaw. When Marlon used to talc us, we were like literally children,

so we didn't have any parts. When you breathe in, when you're eating a sponge and it's got a bit of icing sugar on it. You don't need that getting in your... Like a bit of a dusting on a mochaccino. You don't need that, Jared. It just makes

things that would stick to your leg not stick to your leg, and it's excellent. Air dryer! Oh my God. You South Africans, I'm starting to get a weird picture here. You look like clammy balls. Adhesive scrotums. Clammy balls. Someone else messaged in, their South African husband hairdryers his balls and then touts.

The whole family of big tout users. It's a South African thing. I can understand tout in a hot environment because it's going to stop stuff sweating maybe before the day starts. You're in New Zealand now. We've got humidity, but we've also got like towels and undies. Underwear to stop the balls sticking to the leg. Have you tried that, wearing underwear?

That's a new one. He simply won't. It won't be even considered. I'm Jane Yee. I'm Alex Casey. And I'm Duncan Grave. We are the hosts of The Real Pod and Confession Cam Time.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. We want to know if you're snack compatible with your partner and is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Because maybe it's a good thing that you're not snack compatible because then you get a bag of chips each, for example. That's what I've always said. Like if I was with someone and they didn't like white chocolate or my favourite chocolates or chips, good. Just get another whatever you want to eat. I'll eat mine. Like why do you have to just get one bag of chips?

Yeah, but do you want to have your own bag of chips? But then you end up eating a whole bag of chips or a whole block of chocolate. Yeah. Or a whole tub of ice cream. Yeah. Problematic. But then you would have been eating those anyway, right?

Or maybe you could practice restraint. Not happening. No. But yeah, maybe that is compatibility. Yeah. Like if you sit down to a box of assorted chocolates, like a Favourites or a Roses, if you like the different flavours,

that to me is compatible because together you've finished it off. See, I couldn't be with someone that wanted the Turkish Delight, the Cherry Ripes. Me. Yeah. You and I like those ones. We like the same ones. I could have worn...

I would be fighting over those. I could work with both of you because I don't love, I'll eat them. No, you like the boost. Because I'm a dad and that's my job. Yeah, you like the boost bars. I'm not a huge fan of the boost bars. Oh, I like the boost bars. I think it's Megan who's going to say someone likes boost bars.

It's Megan. They're just the basic one. Yeah. So we wanted to ask, and maybe this does cause problems in your relationship, if you're snack compatible. Like the good or bad of that. And it's hard when you're like, okay, well, we're going to watch movies at home or something

and then you're deciding on treats because I like lollies. He's not a lolly person. He likes chocolates. I'm not a chocolate person. No, that sounds, that's perfect. That's perfect. Then you end up, that's the problem is you end up, he will end up finishing a cake of chocolate

and I'll finish a whole bag of lollies. And then you're like, oh. I do not see a problem with that at all. At all. Also, like if I was to share a bag of Maltesers, which I also hate doing, like just get your own bag of Maltesers, I'm going to be like, oh, I haven't had half.

Like, or they've had more than, or I've had more. You're going to be counting. I'm like worried, yeah. You have to go one for one, one for one. Because I can hoover those things. I'll be like, I've't had half, or they've had more than, or I've had more. You're going to be counting. I'm like worried, yeah. You have to go one for one, one for one. Because I can hoover those things. I'll be like, I've eaten these too fast, I haven't left them enough, and then I get anxious and worried that I've eaten too many. Oh, yeah, that would be your worry.

Exactly. Executive Intern Anya, are you and Mr Bun Buns chip compatible? We are not. Vemently incompatible, yeah. We can only agree on one single bag of chips. What is it? It's these

copper kettle red onion and vintage cheddar ones. Oh, they are so legit. They are so good but the issue is they're not at every supermarket.

It's a real random hit and miss. Yeah. Okay. So if we go there and then they don't have them then we have to get two individual bags.

Wait, so you're telling me there's not like just a salt and vinegar? No, I don't like it. I used to like it, and as I'm ageing, it's too spicy. Too spicy. I'm getting very overwhelming. Yeah, I've just been finding for a Friday drink, you know, it's just a bit. So what would your standard chip be of choice? Is it? Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, I've just been finding for a Friday drink, you know, it's just a bit. Tries, yeah. Right, okay.

So what would your standard chip be of choice? Well, it would have to be the red onion and cheddar. Right, but what would he do? Could he do a ready salted? Oh, he refuses to do a ready salted. He comes out with these bloody novelty flavours, to which I say GTFO. But would you do a ready salted? If there's dip.

But then, you know, that's a whole palaver in itself. Is he a dip person? Oh god, yeah. He has it by the bloody bucket full. Okay. Yeah, it's a real mish. There's a lot of fights standing in the supermarket aisle. What about you and Sade Vaughan?

Snack compatible? Yeah, very snack compatible. This is why it's lasted so long. Basically, whatever. Yeah, the Smiths are pretty much Hoovers, aren't they? Oh, definitely. The only lack of compatibility is the fact that if we agree to the flavour of chip, whatever, but then I'm doing something when the chips get open and they come inside and they're all gone. That would be weird.

Because the family's eating them and you've got nothing. We pour them into specific bowls so everyone gets the exact right amount. Oh, I know what I'm doing there. Who is doing that? That was what we did growing up because there was always fights on someone had more chips than me. And then you had to get the tape measure out to measure half the chocolate bar.

If someone was cutting something in half. And if you cut you didn't get to pick. Oh, 100%. So you had to make the cut perfect if you wanted to cut. Alright, so 0800 dials at him. We want to take some calls now and you can you had to make the cart perfect if you wanted the cart. All right, so 0800-DARLS-ZM. We want to take some calls now and you can text as well, 9696. Are you and your partner snack compatible? Or does it just lead to fights or arguments?

Or does it work that you're not snack compatible? Yeah, maybe that is your compatibility is that you don't share snacks. Yeah, or maybe it's just that you always argue over snacks. Talking about snack compatibility. Yeah, is your idea of compatibility that you don't like the same thing so that you each buy your own snack?

Or is it that you agree on the same bag of chips, for example, or the same block of chocolate, and then you can share it? Yes. Everybody's idea is different. Sean's called through. Sean, you and your partner, are you snack compatible or not? Yes and no. So, like, he's a vegetarian,

so often I'm eating all of the meat things. But one thing that he definitely can't have is marshmallows because gelatin, because it's, you know, bone. Yeah, yeah. Which is nuts. So I'll be sitting there having marshmallows and he'd be giving me the evils.

He knew what he was signing up for though, Sean. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Can't you get vegan ones though? I mean, I don't know if they taste good. Oh, you can, but they're so hard to find. Like, it is like a scavenger's hunt, honestly, and they're always selling out. Right. And so do you get in trouble a lot if you're snacking on meat-based anything?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, right. And then do you, what snacks do you have to endure that are, I guess you can eat vegan lollies now, can't you? Yeah, yeah, I can. Vegan lollies, which are cool. But the benefit for him, though, is that if he gets anything that he can't eat, I'm just like, let me hover it up, I've got this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me, I'll take the calorie hit. I'll take this. Thanks, you're cool. Sean, Jess? hover it up. I've got this. Yeah, that's exactly. I'll take the calorie hit. Thanks, you're cool. Sean, Jess? Morning, team. We're both incompatible and compatible. Oh, okay. So I'm the mum in our household

so I do the shopping and I know what everyone likes and I make sure everyone's got what they like and stuff. So he's a salt and vinegar boy and he loves it. And he'll go for the chorizo and the spicy salamis and those types of snacks as well which I'm totally not into. So that's fine. I'm at peace with that.

I'll get myself my thinly cut sour cream and chives chips as I like. And he used to claim that he didn't like them. So I'd be, you know, I'd go half a bag, pop them back in the cupboard and then next day, come out, he stayed up late and where's my chips? He's eating them.

Because he likes my snacks, but I don't like his snacks. So we get double and I get half. And it's just, it's not great, guys. Yeah, I think you need a better hiding place, Jess. Yeah, I feel like the bedside table needs to come into play maybe. Yeah, exactly. Hey, Jess, thanks for your call. Some other text messages on snack compatibility.

My husband's the worst. He'll say he doesn't like anything sweet. So next time I buy it, he eats it anyway and then reminds me he doesn't like it. And I'm like, this is as a sex read. Yeah, I know, bro. That's why I got it. It sounds like me.

I do that. You just say you don't like it. I don't like it. I don't't like it You're trying to convince yourself I don't like caramel And then you eat it I love caramel I was lying I was lying My girlfriend and I both love chips

I know if she opens a bag I'll end up eating them No matter how many times I say I don't really like chips Yeah again You're lying to yourself there No one wins when you lie to yourself Somebody said

I used to be snack compatible with my partner, but apparently they found someone they were more snack compatible with at Otago University. That is heartbreaking. Hey, you'll find someone else to eat some cheese balls with. Yeah, like what's your snack? Let's find you someone based primarily on your snacks. Imagine you had a dating app and it's on snacks. Like, do you like, what's your snack? Let's find you someone based primarily on your snacks. Imagine you had a dating app

and it's on snacks. Like, do you like to share snacks? No. What's your favourite snack? Chips. So then it teams you up with someone who doesn't like chips.

But then are they going to want to go to places like, what if it was like fish and chips? Okay, that's a problem. Yeah. We can work around this. We're just going to get over

that first to home first. Alright, it's Vaughn's pick for Friday flashback coming problem. Yeah. We can work around this. We're just going to get over that first to half first. All right, it's Vaughn's pick for Friday flashback coming up. Yeah, apparently. So he's got like about three or four minutes to find a song. Then we'll get into the long weekend group two. Fleshvaughn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Oh, what's in the box? Well, this appeared in studio. It's currently behind you, Megan, in the box? Well, this appeared in studio.

Oh, there was that really big song about cardamom, but that's dumb. No, I don't think that's working. We've got all the spices to choose.

Yeah, the Tuscan seasoning. That had a great album back in the 80s. Nah, all the songs about spices are the Spice Girls. This is really bad from you. I'm lost for words. I'm really disappointed. I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.

Oh, well. I disappoint people on the daily. What do you want me to do about it? Can you believe this? Yeah. I think you're about to get told off by Fletch too. I might go get a coffee. Well no, because if you want the true behind

the scenes story, I had one and Fletch said that's too old. You can't find old stories on the long weekend. Me and Jared both said no. I'm not going to be the bad guy. Me and Jared both said yes. Too old. From the 70s. No, it's not.

It's from the 80s. It's from the 80s. All the ones that we do from the 80s stick well. And people are like, I love it. Play this one, and if people in the text machine hate it that much, you get the permission to stop it, Fletch. There you go. They won't hate it.

It's an absolute cracker of a song. It's been streamed over 700 million times. If you hate it, you can text them to stop it and Flickr's allowed to. On one, but then also you've got to text them to say you like it because it's going to win it. I do also love this song. I just think it's too old. This band, there was another song that I love.

I think it's their better song, but it's only had 26 million streams, which even in the scheme of things, there's a lot of streams through a song that came out like 30-something years ago. This has been remixed so many times. It's been remixed. It's been in movies. It's been in TV shows. Is it?

It's been on the Handmaid's Tale. I think a remix of it was. Okay. Or the original. I'm not sure. Well, we're going to play it, and we're going to come back next with the long weekend group to today's Friday flashback. See, I had one all along.

I already like it because it's annoying Fletch. ZM. Sweet dreams are made of the years. Who am I to disagree? I travel the world and the seven seas. Everybody's looking for something. Some of them want to use you. Some of them want to get used by you.

Some of them want to abuse you. Some of them want to be abused. I love you. The world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something Hold your head up Keep your head up Moving on Hold your head up Moving on Keep your head up

Moving on Hold your head up Moving on Keep your head up, moving on Hold your head up, moving on Keep your head up, moving on Hold your head up, moving on Keep your head up, moving on Hold your head up, moving on Keep your head up Some of them want to use you Some of them want to get used by you Some of them want to abuse you Some of them want to be abused Sweet dreams are made of these

Who am I to disagree I travel the world on seven seas Everybody's Looking for something Sweet dreams are made of these Who am I To disagree I travel the world

And the seven seas Everybody's Looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree? Travel the world in the seven seas Everybody is looking for something Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am I to disagree? I travel the world in seven seas Everybody's looking for something Sweet dreams are made of these Who am I to disagree? I travel the world in seven seas Everybody's looking for something ZM, it's your Friday flashback, Eurythmics. Sweet dreams. How was that for a ruse?

Everyone's like, oh, Smithy, don't let us down. Don't let you down. You still had no idea what you were doing. No, we agreed to it beforehand and you poo-pooed it last minute. And then I was like, well, that actually just shows that it's going to be a good one. Megan, I don't want to seem biased at all. So feedback, you've got the text machine open there. I gave people the option to stop that.

You could message in and say stop it. Did anybody take that option? And we would have had pages and pages. I mean, I did say it's a banger. I just said it's a bit too old. You do need to clarify that you like that song. I like Thorn In My Side's a bit. That's my favourite E-Rhythmic song.

Someone said shame on you, Fletch, for dissing that song. But you do like it. All right. Are we ready? It's time. Do it. On the eve of The Long Weekend. The Long Weekend, group two.

I'm horning, horning, horning, horning. So horning. I'm horning, horning, horning in the morning. And it's our last long weekend until October, the Labor weekend. So Queen's birthday on Monday. It is an age-old tradition here for going back years, nearly a decade, the Long Weekend Group 2. You join us from traffic, from your car, and you give us the first bit of the long weekend group toot. And then somebody around you, another car,

somebody else listening finishes off with... That's all that you have to do. Even if it's not the one that's currently on the radio, we encourage you as a nation to come together for the long weekend group toot by finishing off somebody else's toot. So always remember the tune with the numbers. One, two.

One, two, three. One, two, three, four. And then so ideally this is how it should sound. Perfect. Yeah, and oh, when that happens, the magic. The magic. Now, a few weeks ago we talked about how handy it would be to have an onboard spice rack for your car

because then you could season your chips to your level of required seasoning. Oh, absolutely. Chicken salt. What an addition to the fries. And food all around the place. Maybe you've picked up a pie, but it's a little bit plain. Open up the top, put in some chilli flakes. Shut that bad boy up.

You've got yourself a spicy pie. If you get on the plain. Open up the top, put in some chilli flakes. Shut that bad boy up. You got yourself a spicy pie. If you get on the radio today on the show and you successfully participate in a long weekend group tour, you get a limited edition Fletch, Morn and Megan in-car spice rack. It's got all the master food seasonings in there. You can put it in the glove box, stick it to the dash. 0800 DALS at M right now, wherever you are in traffic.

Let's long weekend group Group Tudor. Where would you like to start? What part of the country? Christchurch. Okay. Nicole from Christchurch, good morning. Good morning. Welcome to the Long Weekend Group Tudor.

Well, that's a busy roundabout, but as you can hear in the background, lots of traffic noise too. There's some construction going on there. Yes. Okay. I'm feeling it, though. Let's have a toot. Give it a crack.

Okay, cool. No! Oh, that would have been absolute. That was perfect. That was great, turning from you. It's so like the rhythm. I'm literally driving around. I'm literally driving around and around the roundabout.

Give it another one then. Give it another one. Give it another one if you're in the roundabout. Yes, did you hear it? No. Did it happen? Go again. Is the window down?

Yeah, I can hear the window down. Okay, go again. Go again. Go again, Nikki. It must be audible. Did you hear it? No. Didn't hear it.

Didn't hear it. Can you hear that? We cannot accept, Nikki, because it's not audible. Oh, did you hear it? No. Didn't hear it. Didn't hear it. Can you hear that? We cannot accept, Nikki, because it's not audible. Oh, did you hear that? They're still turning. They're still turning. Go again. Drive closer.

Oh, no. Silence, Scott. Silence. We've given everybody else a second chance today. It's generous. It's a second chance today. It's been the morning. Okay, I'm going to quickly speed up because there's a red light coming up.

I'll ask you to drive safely. Don't exceed the speed limit. Okay, when you're ready, Scott, give us a long weekend group too. Okay. Okay, here we go. Coming up in two seconds. Just let me get alongside some traffic. Okay.

Okay, here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Come on, people. Oh, Scott. That was nothing on you. They just saw this lunatic... It's going.

Yay! He didn't give up! God, I love your persistence, Scott. You need to go to work and have a cup of tea and a lie down, Scott. You just flew in behind some parked cars and you're like... That was hard work. Good work, Scotty. All right, I'm calling

half-time. We've only had seven calls. We can't go to half-time at seven calls. We always at least go ten calls in the first half. But we've never had so much success. I know. We're at six out of seven. Alright, okay. We'll take a couple more. Kelly, whereabouts in Auckland? I'm just coming off the North Western Motorway

onto the Northern. Okay. So good traffic area. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. Hello, we see if Mama wants some master foods. Oh, I heard one in the distance. Okay. We couldn't hear it, but we are giving second chances this morning, so feel free to rip it again. Just

screw you, North Shore. Kelly, Kelly. It's not on you, Kelly. You did great. You did great. Incredible tooting. Thank you for participating. Sophie, whereabouts in Christchurch? Good morning. I'm in Christchurch on Morehouse Avenue.

Oh, good. Okay, this is a sitter. This is a sitter. It's in Christchurch. Good morning. I'm in Christchurch on Morehouse Avenue. Oh, good. Okay. This is a sitter. This is a sitter. Aren't you going to hit yourself? All right. It's busy. We ready? Yeah, we're ready, Sophie.

Oh, no. Nothing. Wait. No, no, Sophie. You doubted yourself too quick. Give it a bit more time. Do it and then give it a Ryan Seacrest pause. Okay.

Ready? You ready? Yeah, here we go. Here we go. Oh, nothing. What the heck? That was so good. That was beautiful.

You're turning. Yeah, go on. Three's the charm. Did you hear it? Did someone reply? Yes. No, we didn't hear it. We didn't hear it.

You've got to remain quiet just a moment longer maybe, Sophie. I'm too eager. Okay, try again. Try again. It has been the morning of second, third, fourth chances. Okay, ready? Yeah. Yes! Yes, ready? Yeah. Yes!

Yes, good, good. Yes, yes. They go right. I'd imagine that person was like Scott from before. They heard the tune. He's waving. They can wave back

and give them a thumbs up because they just participated in you winning a spice rack for your car. Whether you drive away, they might hit you up for one of the spices. Give them garlic and herb salt.

That's not your favourite, is it? You're more of a... I'm definitely all about these other sprinkles and fries and hot stuff. Okay. All right, let's go. Let's try again in Hamilton, Mandeep. Good morning. Morning.

All right, whereabouts in Hamilton? At the Hillcrest Roundabout. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's busy. Good stuff. That's busy. It's a goodie. All right, whenabouts in Hamilton? At the Hillcrest Roundabout. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's busy. Good stuff. Oh, that's busy. It's a goodie. All right, when you're ready.

Yes! Multiple! Multiple replies! Multiple! Multiple replies, Mandip! Let's go! Can I say, Hamilton's absolutely charming me this morning, my hometown. Isn't it?

A little bit of goosebumps. Okay, if we take a half time here, are we going to come back with a world record? We're at nine already. We're at nine already. What is the world record for the long weekend group two? Twelve or thirteen? I feel like thirteen. Unlucky, thirteen.

We stalled on thirteen. Okay, we're going to have to go into the almanac. We're going to have to go into the almanac. The long weekend archives. And come back and we will let you know what exactly the world record is because we need your help, New Zealand. I think we can get on the board. As per the Long Weekend Group Tute,

the fact of the day will be always a little bit later. The Long Weekend Group Tute. I'm horning. Now, it's part two of the Long Weekend Group Tute. You join us from traffic and give us the Long Weekend Group Toot. And somebody else finishes off with a mep-mep. Now, there is some debate in studio about the records of the Long Weekend Group Toot over the years.

What is our record? Some saying 13, some saying 17. 17's not right. Is it? I don't saying 13, some saying 17. 17 is not right. Is it? I don't think we've ever got 17. I thought it was 13. In classic Fletchbourne and Megan fashion, we pulled out the long weekend group tour honours board,

which was last updated in Labor Weekend 2018. Well, we filled it up, so we stopped. We had a rough year last year. We didn't do the other side. Yeah, but what about 2019, Megan? That was a lead up to a rough year. And then we haven't done anything. Yeah, we knew it was coming, so we didn't. But other side. Yeah, but what about 2019, Mick? That was a rough year. It was a lead up to a rough year. And then we haven't done anything. Yeah.

We knew it was coming, so we didn't. But that needs to be updated. And I'll tell you what, I'll say it right now. Whoever makes the long weekend group toot a historically accurate Wikipedia page, there's a Masterford spice rack in it for you. An in-car spice rack. Yeah, I think that's what we need. And then each long weekend details how many toots.

It gets updated. Now, also, I'd like to apologise. There was an administration error in the front half. We're only eight out of 10. We're at 80%, which is some of our best, by the way. That is the best ratio we've ever rolled going into the second half. Let's not worry, is it? And mess up the second half.

All right. Wilson, no pressure. You've just had the word from Graham Henry there. Yes, that was a hell of a chat. We're mixing our codes there. Wilson, whereabouts in Wellington? I'm just about to, I'm just off Vivian Street,

about to get on to the basin soon. Oh, okay, lots of cars. World's biggest sports roundabout. Yeah, all right. All right, Wilson. Load us up a long weekend group tour and knock her out of the park. Okay.

Yes! Did you hear that? Yes! Did we hear it, Wilson. Yes! Did you hear that? Yes! Did we hear it, Wilson? Yes! That is a strong second half start! Let's go, Wellington! Let's go!

Oh, that's great. Good work from you, Wilson. Wait there, a limited edition in-car Spicerack for you. Congratulations to whoever tooted back to Wilson. That was absolutely beautiful. Yvonne in Whanganui, good morning. Good morning. Whereabouts are you? Hewlett's Road.

Hewlett's. Okay, is there lots of traffic around? This is our second Hewlett's Road. No, not as much as I thought would be. Can I say, I'm not exactly sure. Maybe this is when the Wikipedia page will come in handy. I don't believe we've had a Whanganui long weekend group tutor before. A Mount Maunganui.

A Mount Maunganui. We've got Whanganui written here. Oh, they're crying out loud. They're crying out loud. We nearly had the wrong people tooting. Okay, well, we've had an admin error there. So, Mount Maunganui, let's go for it. When you're ready, Yvonne, Give us a long weekend group toot.

Wait, wait, wait. Yvonne, Yvonne. No, no, no. That was great tooting back. They tooted back. That's undeniable. However, we did have a slight misprint in your tooting. You're going to get your typicality. So, one, two, one, two, three, one, two, three, four, then stop, okay? I believe you stopped after the one, two in the last part,

but it needs to go through to the three, four. Okay, try again. Okay, Yvonne, here we go. Want to do one more? No, no, Yvonne, you did great. That was perfect. Let's count that as a warm-up for you. Let's count that as a warm-up for Yvonne.

One more, like it's the third time. Third time's a charm, Yvonne. You're great. That was perfect. Let's count that as a warm-up for you. Let's count that as a warm-up. Yvonne, one more lucky third time. Third time's a charm, Yvonne. You're the right mother of it. That one's doing it. Oh, what? Where did that first person go, Yvonne? Yvonne, unlucky. We move on.

Damn it. Laura, just out of Christchurch, whereabouts are you? I've just come off the motorway to come onto, like, Blenheim Road. Are you confident? Are there people around? Yeah. Laura, don't half-ass me. We're going for a record today.

I'd rather you locked it out or rather you said, sub me off, coach. No. I'm not going to get there, too. Okay, pause. Can we come back? Sub me off. Come back in five. Okay, thank you off, coach. No. I'm not going to get there. Okay, pause. Can we come back? Sub me off. Come back in five.

Okay, thank you. I appreciate the honesty. That Mount Maunganui downers really got to you, hasn't it? No, no, no. We're going to knuckle down for the second half. Knuckle down. Keith, good morning. Good morning.

Okay, we're about to see Hamilton, Keith. I'm on. Why don't we drive to Euclid? Okay. Okay, Keithy, give it to us. Okay, I'm actually driving right now. Let's see No Yeah, I love it all right going in Keith that has been the morning chances give you another go Keith Come on, bring it back to me. Okay. Okay, here we go.

Whereabouts are you? We are sitting on Custom Street near Queen Street in a police car. In a police car? Wait, now, have you been arrested, Sally? Sally, or you're a police officer? We're police officers. Oh, okay. Are you allowed to?

We're always kind of a bit hum-ha if we're going to get in trouble for this one day. Yeah, but we've got traffic around, so we need to do it now. Let's do it. Let's do it. Go, Sally. I have a question. Are you using the big ooga horn or the we're ready yes okay ready

disappointing i'd be scared, though. I'd be scared. Maybe it's the ordinary horn. Yeah, they think it's a trap. Okay, try again. All right, hold on, hold on. We don't have an ordinary horn. We've only got an air horn. Oh, wow.

What's in the middle of this tune wheel? Okay, yeah. Nothing. Now we just talk about idiots I think to be honest People are just shit scared to take you back That you're going to ticket them If they toot back Guys, thanks so much for trying It was great tooting

Julian and Rob, good morning It's been a disappointing second half. We're about to see you guys. We're in Titirangi. Okay, all right. When you're ready, give us a long weekend group toot. I really wanted that. I wanted it to happen too.

Guys, I feel like we've lost all of our steam. Yeah, we really have. We've lost all of our steam. Do we need a little motivational chat? Yes. Do we need a little talk? I think so. About how this nation of ours, we've faced it all lately

and we've come through the other side, the team of five million. Haven't we? We need this, Chanel. We've opened up our borders to Rarotonga, Australia, apart from Melbourne, yuck. And we're ready to face the world again. We need to unite, ladies and gentlemen, behind the Long Weekend Group 2 ahead of this.

Thank you to all of our participants around the country, even those that didn't get the praise heaped on them on air. You know what? I want to talk to Dylan. Not on air, but I just feel like I could really put it. Is he still there? Dylan. Is he still there? Dylan?

Dylan, turn off your radio, Dylan. This, guys, I see, you know, you see a fleet, you see a lost cause. I see a diamond in the rough. I see a diamond in the rough. Still in your car, Dylan? Yep. Dylan. Dylan. Would you like to have the final long weekend group chat of the morning? Yes, please. Okay, so this is how it works, okay?

Dylan, this isn't going to end up on some TikTok, is it? I'm wasting a radio station's time by not telling you properly. Dylan, I don't want to see that social media shit. Turn off your radio, Dylan, and toot the goddamn horn. It's a lost cause boy He's not a lost cause You know what Coach him on your own time

And bring him back Should we bring Dylan back For labour weekend Long weekend We're going to coach Dylan For the long weekend In October That's on you

We are not coaching You're coaching Dylan I need flights to Christchurch immediately This is going to take my entire winter ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Fact of the day. Day, day, day, day.

I had another fact of the day for today but it's a long, it needs a story told. And we don't have time for it. So I've got a quick little fact of the day provided by none other than Carl Peter Fletcher himself. I saw this online and I was like, I'm going to send this to Vaughan. It's a good fact. Elephants can inhale at speeds of over 540 kilometers an hour. What? So when they turn on the old schnozza, the old trunk suck,

it can go in at 540 kilometres an hour. That's 30 times faster than the air expelled during a human sneeze and faster than the Japanese rail bullet train, which can go 320 kilometres an hour. So another 220 kilometres on top of that. So I just Googled a vacuum cleaner. It's able to suck an effective air volume of 150 m3.

Cubic metres. A what? An hour? I'm guessing a second. No. Or an hour. That would be a black hole. You think about 150 cubic metres, so one metre by one metre by one metre cubes. So it would be an hour, right?

There's 150 of those. Yeah. Imagine if it could suck that much. Your Dyson would rip your carpet off your floorboards. Get that bloody cat hair up, though, wouldn't it? It sure would. You wouldn't want to accidentally get the cat, though. There'd be not a lot of cat left.

No. So this helps them. They can drink. So they can't drink that quick, but the air that they can inhale. And they basically turn themselves into a little vacuum cleaner where, like, because they've got a trunk and they can pick up big bits of food, but it's all like the crumbs and stuff left behind.

They're their own little clean up vacuum cleaner afterwards. So they can eat a bag of, like, tortilla chips and then vacuum up the dust. Wow. Piece of cake. Super quick. Yeah, and that's actually the example they use because apparently elephants really love corn chips. Do they?

Which is about the cutest thing I've ever heard. I feel you. I feel you. I think they need a big Dorito though. Yeah. A massive- An elephant-sized Dorito. An elephant-sized Dorito, which would still crumb, but the crumbs would be the size of

human size, and then we eat, and then they suck it all up. Yeah. So today's fact of the day is elephants can inhale at speeds of 540 kilometres an hour. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. Do do do.
