This is the Fletch, Vaughn and Megan podcast, brought to you by Spark. Capture life like never before with the Samsung Galaxy S9. I told you you should have done it, Megan. No, I tell you, that was great. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Thank you, Anya, on this Thursday morning, which feels a little Monday-ish. Got a Monday, got a Monday tinge, got a Monday tang. Yeah, yesterday felt like Sunday. It felt like a half a Sunday.

Yeah. It felt like a Saturday and a Sunday pushed together. It felt like half a Saturday and then the afternoon felt like a Sunday. And Tuesday night felt like a Friday night. And you're not feeling any better, Megan? Nah. I had a little um, I found a little

Jesus? No. Did you find Jesus? I did find Jesus. I had a little, I found a little. Jesus? No. Did you find Jesus? I didn't find Jesus. Okay. We got a little, is it like a cough medicine? It was like an immunity thing and it's like, drink six mils of this. So I knocked it back. You're supposed to put it in a glass of water, aren't you?

Yeah. And even then it says, if the taste remains after, please follow with a glass of orange juice. My tongue. And then it said contains alcohol. So remains after, please spoil it with a glass of orange juice. My tongue. And then it said contains alcohol, so I am buzzing. Really? I'm buzzing. You've had this this morning. Not that much alcohol.

Well, it's a lot of alcohol for... Because it was... It was the old cough syrups used to have a bit of booze in them, mate. And modern cough syrups don't have any booze in them. Don't they? I thought they did still. Indetectable amounts. Right.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be giving them to kids. Yeah, true. Oh, yeah. Give us another rabbit. Give us another rabbit, Justin. F.M.

Benedict Cumberbatch is on the show. Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch. Cumberbatch. Not a cucumber patch. He's not a cucumber patch. Benedict Cumberbatch

is on the show this morning. We're going to be talking about Avengers Infinity War, spoiler free. Oh, God. We won't be doing any spoilers. A lot to take in. You need to see that movie ASAP, Rocky, if you don't want to be spoiled in any way. I wanted to sit by Vaughan because so many times I was like, did that happen? Did that just happen?

Sade, my wife, hasn't seen the first two Avengers movies. Yeah. She's seen one Iron Man movie and half a Captain America. So she jumped right in the deep end of the pool with no floaties on. Right. Did she have a lot of questions? You know what I'll tip my hat to her? She saved them till the end.

I think she knew. To her in the car ride home. I think she knew if she had asked you questions during the movie, you would have probably. She knew when I would go like like that with excitement. She's like, what were you clapping about there? So we're going to talk to him soon. Yeah, on the show 7.45

this morning. Alright you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines. The three weird, interesting, unusual news stories that I've found are from sites around the world. Vaughan and Megan, you must now pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, man busted in ironic underwear.

Headline two, neighbours' keys in the bowl parties upsetting neighbours. Because they wouldn't buy it. Probably. Headline three, nuclear war broadcast. Just a prank. Those are the headlines today. People freaked out because someone said there was nuclear war coming. Well, that's irresponsible.

It is. One, man busted in ironic underwear. Yes. We like that one. Love a bit of ironic underwear. All right, we go to America now. And a man was seen driving erratically in a Dodge pickup. This happened on one of the U.S.

Where's St. Lucie? In Port St. Lucie. I don't know where in America that is. Oh, I don't know. Port St. Lucie, not St. Louis. No, no, St. Lucie. L-U-C-I-E. In Port St. Lucie. L-'t know where in America that is. Oh, I don't know. St. Lucie, not St. Louis. No, no, St. Lucie. L-U-C-I-E. In Port St. Lucie.

L-U-C-I-E. Port St. Lucie. Well, a man... Florida. Is it? Oh, brilliant. Of course it is. Of course it is.

So a man was stopped in his Dodge pickup after members of the public saw him driving and swerving erratically on the freeway. So they pulled him over. He looked very jittery. He had no shoes on. And he also had glazy eyes and drunk eyes, basically. Okay. He was also wearing, his eyes were bloodshot,

as stated, his pupils dilated. Very jittery, no shoes, according to the police report. He was wearing underwear, only underwear, that said on them, breathalyzer and blow hair. Oh, referring to his penis. Yeah. Well, ironically, he was charged with two counts of DUI. Two counts?

I don't know why two. He was arrested on two DUI-related charges. So, drunk and something drunken. Drunken wearing terrible novelty boxer shorts and drunk in charge of a vehicle. Under the influence. Right. He failed sobriety tests in his breathalyser underwear.

Yeah. And was arrested. I wonder if a pair of those underpants has ever worked. No. Surely not. Like, ever worked. No, but you're not. I'm just saying you're not someone who would fall for that, Megan.

Thank you. You're not, like, the kind of people that would find that funny. Yeah, but you know what? We probably wouldn't know them. I just can't imagine any girls are like, ha ha ha ha, okay. That's a funny joke. I wonder what my

alcohol breath limit is. Guess there's only one way to find out. And then you're like, where's the reading? What was it? Oh, hold on, that was your penis all along. F-M's. A trend has started in the UK that could spread here if this is anything to go by,

but analogue clocks are being removed from exam halls as teenagers cannot tell the time on them. Whether you've got a two-hour exam or a one-hour exam. The exam runs from 9.20 to 11.20. Oh, God, and they can't work it out. It's a two-hour exam. Well, they might just say it's a two-hour exam and it runs from 9.20 to 11.20. Oh, God. And they can't work it out. It's a two hour exam. Well, they might just say it's a two hour exam and it starts at 9.20.

Oh, and then they're like, how long to go? We had an analog clock in exams, but did you have this where they had like countdowns? So they had little cards. So it would say one hour, like one hour remaining, 30 minutes remaining. And they'd flip them over? Yeah. I don't recall that. Because that's how I used to always know how long I had left.

I couldn't tell what the time was. I think I just had a watch and I was like, okay, cool. 20 minutes left. One year they tried out the PE department's big clock. Yeah. But it was like a marathon clock. Clank, clank. Like clank, clank, clank, clank.

I think it only lasted like 20 minutes in the exam until the teachers were like, unplug that, pull it out, and then they'd just say 15 to go. Right. That's because of the big click clacky. You don't need analogue anymore. Like unless you're going to do something where you, like a job where you actually need to look at it,

that kind of clock. But like I'm sitting here, I've got my phone. Oh, that tells me the time. I've got my computer. That tells me the time. I've got a screen up there that tells me the time and numbers. And a big clock as well. And a big clock.

Like most of the time you're surrounded by digital stuff. So like why do you need it? It's like times tables. You don't need it. They're still the classier looking clock though, aren't they? They are, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I've got a watch that has a cute face with a ticky hand. But it's literally nothing to you, is it, that? No. It's not my go-to unless Andrew's like, what's the time on your watch? He purchased it for you, didn't he? Yeah. As a gift for? Our wedding. The pre-wedding gift.

Has he given up testing you on the time? Because people think we're joking when we, we've talked about this a lot. Yeah. And they're like, oh, you're just putting it on. No. But it's a thing a lot of people cannot tell the time on an analog. He has given up, but then like, it sounds stupid, but like, I was getting good for a bit. But then if you don't practice, I've gone a long time without practicing.

You're not five. And then he's like, what is it? And I'm like, oh no, I don't know. And I get flustered because most people look at it and know straight away. And I look at it and I'm like, they're timing me. They're counting how long it's taken me. And then you panic.

And then I panic. Well, that's what they say in this article. They say it's been noted that students that can't tell the time on their analog clock spend a lot of time looking at the clock. Trying to figure it out. Trying to figure it out and become distracted from the task at hand. Should you pass an exam, though, if you can't tell the time on an analog clock? Well, what's the exam if it's English?

Yes. That's what teachers are saying. Teachers are saying it would be like penalizing older people because they can't use the technology of the era. Right. It is. There's technology now to assist you in your time telling. So to a lot of people, they never bother learning. It would be like,

if your parents were like, can you help me set up the router? You set their house on fire to punish them for not knowing. You're like, no, and you take away everything from them. You can't go on Facebook if you can't set up your own router. You might like, no, and you take away everything from them. You can't go on Facebook if you can't set up your own router. You might remember, you might not, Naruto is the crested macaque.

He is a monkey who took a selfie back in 2011. So he's grey and he's doing a little smile to the camera. It's pretty cute. He's got big eyes, doesn't he? Big eyes. Great photo. Pretty cute. Smile to the camera.

Didn't that win some kind of big photography award? Multiple. Multiple? Multiple awards. Yeah, and that's when Peter filed for copyright infringement against a photographer because technically, Naruto took the photo. It was a selfie. So this has just been settled in court.

They have come to a conclusion that a monkey cannot claim copyright. So three judges upheld the ruling that, yeah, Peter has no right to this. Because they were going to look after the copyright for Naruto. Of course they were.

We'll look after it. We'll put it aside for Naruto's retirement fund. Well, they said he should be considered the author and copyright owner and he shouldn't be treated any differently from any other creator simply because he happens to not be human. But of course the laws don't. Yeah, but this just opens the door, though,

for your cat that takes a photo of itself. You know, where do you draw the line? Well, they have drawn the line, haven't they? Yeah. Well, the laws don't go as far to express monkeys and animals. Well, a monkey can't voice its concern, can it? No. It can't say, hey, where are my royalties?

Yeah, you have to make the claim. Yeah, you can't kind of do it on behalf of... And while animals shouldn't be exploited, I don't believe this one's been exploited, has it? No. It took its own photo because it was a fun button to click. Does it say how much,

like a dollar amount on the royalties? So the photographer has said I was making no money from photography. He said his monkey selfies, the revenue was embarrassingly low. But since then, surely that photo's made him some money.

See, the right thing to do probably would be to give some back to, you know, like, Naruto's... Like a conservation fund sort of thing. Yeah, and his habitat and all that kind of thing. And we don't know that he hasn't. But yeah, Naruto's not going to get any direct money from that.

Even though he took off... What would Naruto do with money? It would probably be, you know, actually there was a study that introduced a form of currency to chimpanzees

in the form of like stones, pretty stones that they liked, shiny stones. Yeah. You know what the first thing one monkey bought from another monkey was?

What? Sex. Oh my God. Are you kidding me? Not kidding. That is amazing. He was like, look at this. She's like, that's nice. He's like, you can have it. Oh, can you kidding me? Not kidding. That is amazing. He was like, look at this.

She's like, that's nice. He's like, you can have it. Oh, can I floor something? I don't know how they communicated it, but they said they witnessed it. He just pointed at her. Yeah, he pointed at the coin. I want that. Kind of did that thing with your fingers.

Oh, my God. Yeah, I want that. It's always weird in my head. Monkey accents are always British. I want that. I'll give you the Shawnee Rook. But they don't live in England, do they? No.

It's an African accent. Now, this may not be surprising, but proximity, where you live, to fast food outlets, how close you live, has been linked to the development of heart disease. You live real close. I live real close to a lot. You're surrounded. I live really close to every kind of fast food.

Because location equals temptation. It's easy, so you'll do it. Yeah, it's just down the road. So this study included more than 2 million adults all over the world aged 35 years who had been living at the same address for at least 15 years. Right.

So they didn't want people that moved around. They wanted people that they knew lived here always and, you know, compared to how close fast food restaurants were. So their study suggests

that city dwellers living within one kilometre of fast food outlets eat more fast food than the average person that doesn't live as close, which increases their risk of heart disease. So people that live within 500 metres of fast food outlets are more likely to end up with heart disease.

It doesn't just mean like your big ones, KFC, McDonald's or anything. It just means like takeaways, right? Chippies, fish and chippies. Chippies, fish and chippies. Because hey, would you be just out of five, would you be 500 metres away? You've got a fish and chips. Or at the end of the road, we've got a chipper.

But all your other ones would be less than a K away, wouldn't they? On a straight line? Yeah. Less than a K away. Are we talking straight line? If we had to take by a road, it would be more than a K away.

It would be almost a couple of Ks. I honestly think since we moved house and we were very far away from any kind of takeaways, we would eat them way less. Well, as growing up in the country, we never had takeaways. Yeah, it's just not available anymore.

Yeah, because of the effort required to drive. Like my parents even now, I said, oh, we'll go into town and get some Thai. Ugh. Because they've thought of the drive at the end of the day. They don't like it at all. What is it, like a half an hour round trip just to get takeaways? Oh, I don't know how long your wait would be,

but just driving alone it would be 20 minutes. Like 10 minutes there, 10 minutes back. Just get some pack and save hokey fillets out of the freezer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll do it ourselves because they're all about prep. Yeah. And that's an older generation thing too. They're all about the prep, whereas we're all last minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll do it ourselves because they're all about prep. That's an older generation thing too. They're all about the prep whereas we're

all last minute, four o'clock what are we doing for dinner? That's why you end up doing takeaways. Yeah. Right. But that's the thing because do you even have a dairy near you? No. That's so, because I literally have a dairy underneath my apartment building. You could lower down a bucket with a note and some money.

I actually could. That would be really great. Really great. You should try that. But it is so true because you're like, oh, I can't be bothered cooking. And you're like, you can literally walk. Like there are people that get Uber Eats

and McDonald's is 500 metres away. KFC, 500 metres away. Right. Thai, burgers, Mexican, more Mexican, more burgers. It's all there. It's crazy. Does the same apply for if you live within 500 meters of a gym? What, you go more often?

Well, I also live within 500 meters of a gym. Right. And I'll still get takeaways. It's always the negative. It doesn't always pull us towards the negative heart disease, but it's not like move in close to a gym and you'll be healthier. I think it does work because my gym is like down the stairs across the road. Like I could be there in a minute.

Yeah. And that's just enough time to like keep your brain into it before your brain turns on you. It's like, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea. You're already in the door. I've still got there and just sat on the bench, just like on my phone. So I'd probably go home now.

I'm just going to sit down. Sit down. I'm probably go home now. A mum has found, I don't know why it always describes a person as a mum, but she's a woman who's obviously got kids, but she found a little extra surprise

in her curly kale. So this was brought from Tesco. So it's not New Zealand. In the UK. Yeah, in the UK. She bought a bag of curly kale. Now, they had half the bag for dinner the night before, so they'd already eaten some of this, keep in mind.

And then the next night... Oh, God, what is going to be in this? She was like, we've got some leftover kale, let's chuck that in dinner tonight. Oh, I mean, the kids were like, yay, kale tonight's in a row, best time ever. I don't mind kale if there's a little bit of it with other salad, but when it's all just kale by itself, it's too like...

Yeah. It's a bit bitter and leathery, yeah. It's yummy when it's cooked. Oh, yeah, like kale chips, yum. I tried to do kale chips once, it was yuck. But luckily I used coconut oil. Yeah. So when it came to just chucking it all out,

it just slid straight off the tray. Yeah. Quite nice it came to just chucking it all out, it just slid straight off the tray. Yeah. Quite nice. Minimal cleaning. So, yeah, it was the second night that she realised there was something in the bag. She found what looks like a used condom. A used?

It's not in its wrapper. It's out of its wrapper. I was expecting like a slug or something. Because, you know, people complain about slugs in a bag of letters or in a letter. Or spiders or something? To me, that's wrapper. It's out of its wrapper. I was expecting like a slug or something. Because you know people complain about slugs in a bag of letters. Or spiders or something. To me that's nature. That's just chuck it out. Don't worry about it.

It's still gross. But you're like I could have easily got there with no fault of the company really. Well I don't know. No one's claiming responsibility. No one knows how this happens. Because she wrote a letter to Tesco saying, well, why was this in my kale? They said it must have been contaminated post-purchase. So what does that mean?

That she put it in there? They're saying she put it in there. Yeah. But she said, obviously, I felt quite sick. We'd already eaten some of the kale out of there after we found it. It had several black hairs stuck to it as well. It's definitely like at least

disgusting. She doesn't have black hair by the way. She's got kind of lighter brown hair. So they've kind of turned it on her and said well it's not us. It must be you or someone else. Yeah. They said it was highly unlikely it was contaminated during the manufacturing process. But once the bag sealed like it was contaminated during the manufacturing process. But once

the bag's sealed, like, it must have been sealed in there. Why would she be putting that in there? She doesn't have black hair to put her black hair on the condom. They can't rule out somebody breaking into her house and doing that? That would be the grimace thing to do. Weird crime, weird crime.

This is a classic how the hell did that get there situation. Because you know every now and then you'll find something and you This is a classic how the hell did that get there situation. Right. Because you know every now and then you'll find something and you'll be like how the hell did that get there? Right.

Anything. I found a shoe on our roof a while ago. Yeah. None of our shoes. Yeah. I asked the neighbours

did you guys lost a shoe? No lost shoe reports from there. How the hell did that get there? One shoe. How the hell did that get there? That just sounds like some one rogue shoe. No lost shoe reports from there. How the hell did that get there? One shoe. How the hell did that get there? That just sounds like some... How the hell did one rogue shoe... That sounds like West Auckland kids.

But we're set back from the road. Yeah, that would be a big... Like it would have been in a mighty hiff. Big... Yeah. And we would have heard... Had we been home, we would have heard the... You know when something hits you right there?

Yeah. How the hell did that get there? Or you know when you see a cone at the top of a Norfolk pine tree? Oh, how... Or cones anywhere. How the hell did that get there? That's some great climbing effort. Because Norfolk pines at the bottom, very strong, but at the top, flimsy.

Flimsy. Bending. It almost looks like someone hired a helicopter and a harness and put that there. That would literally be worth thousands of dollars just to put a cone on the top of a tree. You could drive past it every day and claim that you were the one. Is that one still in Auckland when you're going over the Newmarket flyover? When you're coming north on the left-hand side. I think that's gone.

There was a Norfolk pine with a cone on top. If anyone's stuck in traffic in that particular area, cast an eye. I'd love to know if that's still present. I don't know if it is. I haven't seen it for a while, but I haven't been looking. Right. But I'd love to know this morning on the back of Megan's condom in the cow. That's so disgusting.

Again, this didn't happen to Megan. This happened to somebody else overseas. And a great reason not to eat kale because who wants to take these chances? How the hell did that get there? Right. Has anybody got any? How the hell did you get there? Talking what was in your food or anything?

Anything. Because sometimes it's not food related. You might open a box. You know, you might have bought something and there might just be a rogue item in there. Right. How the hell did that get in there? Okay. I do, I love those food stories, so.

I love, yeah, well, it can be food. I'm not ruling out the world of food, especially a condom and kales. Like, if there's a hair in a pie, you can understand because the people who make the pies have hair and a hair might have dropped in there. No great mystery.

Yeah. But condom and the cow. How the hell did that get there? All right. 0800 dials at M9696. A woman in the UK found a little extra treat in her kale. A used, or it's out of the packet at least, condom in her kale. After they'd already eaten some of it.

We want to know this morning, how the hell did that get there? They'd eaten some of it. Somebody said, I can't believe no one's accusing of these kids. Great prank, so you don't have to eat the kale, surely. But you don't think the kids were old enough. She looks quite young, so I imagine her kids are quite young. They probably wouldn't have thought of that. And also, a follow-up, the cone's no longer on top of the Norfolk Pond.

Sad day. It is a sad day. You're one of those back up there. I'm a sad. Some text messages in on how the hell did that get there? Because that's what we're talking about. I'm a sad. Some text messages in on how the hell did they get there? Because that's what we're talking about. If this condom ended up in the cow, how the hell did it get there? Somebody said, I opened a parcel from ASOS containing the items that I had purchased

and one rogue, dirty gardening glove. What? ASOS were as flummoxed as I was. Flummoxed? They used flummoxed. Yes, using the word flummoxed. Well done on the use of flummoxed as I was. Flummoxed? They used flummoxed. Yes, using the word flummoxed. Well done on the use of flummoxed. They contacted ASOS, flummoxed at both ends of the transaction.

Was it the warehouse they were working in? They wear dirty gloves? Why would you wear dirty gloves if you were handling clothing, would you? Yeah, I know. So it's one dirty gardening glove. One rogue glove. They just do it for a laugh. I was going to say, if I worked in a packaging warehouse,

you'd have to kind of make your job fun. A bit of fun. I'd be like, let's put in some random items today. Yeah. Like a gardening glove. Somebody else said we found a Hawaiian pizza on our roof. Very confusing. Very Breaking Bad.

Is that a Breaking Bad? Months later, I started watching Breaking Bad and went out and examined the front of our garage and it did look a little bit like the front of the garage from Breaking Bad, a slight incline and then the garage. So I figured somebody was just doing it for a lull. There's probably a video of it somewhere. Megan, how the hell did that get there?

What happened? Good morning. Well, my mum woke up one morning and driving out, going out the driveway, looked up onto the roof and discovered dozens of packets of peanuts on her roof. Right. Some of them were open, some of them weren't, and we've got no idea how so many peanuts ended up in my mum's roof.

And they're not cheap, are they, packets of peanuts? No, they're not. Were they big packets or baby packets? They're big packets. Do you think they fell out of a plane? Like there was a hole in the fuselage and it ripped the... But then were they just specifically on the roof? There was no packets of peanuts around the roof?

No, nothing had fallen off or anything like that. They were just all on the roof. How the hell did they get there? God, that peanuts around the roof? No, nothing had fallen off or anything like that. They were just all on the roof. How the hell did they get there? God, that would annoy mum. Does that annoy mum? Does that still to this day annoy mum? It annoys mum. Actually, see, it did coincide with my sister

having just so she had a university exam for having a blinder. But no, we're not, she said it's a convince. She didn't do it. She did it. She says that. Where would you get that many packs of peanuts from if you were, you know, having a bender? No, I don't.

A servo. But then you wouldn't waste them. You'd stockpile them for later. No. Yeah, exactly. Megan thinks you're cool. Georgie, how the hell did that get there? What happened?

Hi. So this was from a UK supermarket as well. I bought some chicken to make some yummy fajitas. I think you're saying that wrong. I think it's pronounced fajitas. Fajitas. Fajita. Okay.

I'll change that. I'll change that. Thank you, Georgie. And I cut all the chicken up into little chunks, and I was eating one of them, and I felt something sharp poke me in the tongue. So I, you know, obviously spat out what I was eating. And I found the end of a syringe in the chicken.

Do you mean the needle part or the plastic? The needle part. And then there was a little bit of plastic where you could see it broken off of something. Oh, Jesus. Yeah. So I freaked out. My husband was like, oh, my God, what the hell is that? So what we think is that, like, you know how they pump chicken with water

to make it look bigger and blah, blah, blah? Yeah. I was pretty sure that it had snapped off in the chicken because when I was cutting it, I didn't see it. When I was, like, cooking it, you couldn't see anything. So it wasn't until I actually started chewing on it. Oh, my God. So was this in, like, a chicken breast?

A raw chicken breast. Right. How terrifying to be poked in the tongue by a broken-off syringe. Yeah. Did you contact anyone? We went back to the supermarket the next day with it in a plastic bag, like, what is this? Yeah. And the guy was just like, oh, well, like, couldn't give me an answer. So instead just gave me some money off my next shop.

If I had been clever enough at the time, I would have asked for a lot more. How much money did they offer? I think we got about 40 pounds, so they're equivalent to 80 bucks off. No, not enough. Not off. No! Not enough! Not enough! No, because the reputation would be damaged way more on the front page of every news site in the UK. Yeah, I should have done that instead.

Yeah, bit of extortion. Doesn't go amiss when you've had a syringe in your mouth. Bit of extortion. Yeah, alright, thanks Georgie. Some of the text messages in, I was enjoying a sausage roll from a bakery and found a big nail in it. Like an actual nail nail.

Hammer a nail. Right. Not a fingernail. They offered me a replacement. I said, no, thanks. Replacement nail. Yeah. No replacement sausage roll.

On with the nails. We found a two inch nail embedded in our lamb roast. How did that get there? I don't know. I don't know. Okay. Somebody else said, I think of this every time I see some graffiti in my town. So do I.

Very high on a building. I'm like, how the hell did that get there? It would have been very dangerous just to go with your funny little name. Would they hang off the side? No. Do they use harnesses and carabiners and stuff? I hope so. I hope there's health and safety involved.

God, I hope so. And the graffiti industry. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of red tape. A lot of bureaucracy. A lot of bureaucracy weighing down people, just getting out there and tagging on buildings. Yeah.

So, yeah, how the hell did they get there? FBM. A new app is being developed called Am I Stoned? Okay. Or How Stoned Am I? I guess it's a work in progress with the title. This is in an effort to stop people with the increased amount of states making marijuana legal in the United States.

It's now becoming a little bit of a problem with people driving while stoned. And while we've had a couple of few, three or four decades of advertising telling us that drink driving's bad, there's not been the same. Yeah. With smoking weed and driving. In Australia, they've got a test for it, a roadside drug test. But in New Zealand, it's not here, is it? Didn't they also in Australia have a MDMA test for drivers as well? God, they're all bloody high.

I think it was a swab or something, and they could tell almost immediately if in your mouth in the recent times there'd been drugs. Right. This is an app. It's in development. Basically, they got a whole lot of people in a room and fed them THC, 15 milligrams of THC or a placebo,

and then put them through a series of THC or a placebo. Yeah. And then put them through a series of test computer-based tasks. It's pretty cute when you look at it. It's like lay your phone flat on the bench and then tap, tap with your two fingers. Go left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right for as long as you can keeping up with this rhythm. And it's a real basic rhythm. Tap, tap, tap, tap.

I can imagine if you were stoned, it would actually be highly entertaining. And you'd probably want to pass the levels to get to some other levels. And it was like, as quickly as you can, tap the three flowers that turn darker blue. So there's all these blue flowers

and they turn, you've got to go tap, tap, tap. And it's all a lot of reactionary time stuff. And, you know, those sorts of things. When you're driving, your reaction times are dulled through marijuana. On drugs, yeah. Or any sort of drugs. Alcohol's the same.

So it just slows you down and that makes you dangerous to drive. It's had really good success so far. So they're saying that you'll be able to download this app. You'll be able to download this app and if you've been smoking marijuana and you're like, I don't know how I am to drive. I mean, if you're asking that question, you probably shouldn't be. That's the general, the gist of it.

But if you're on that border, you can do this test and it will aptly judge your reaction time. And if you sure shouldn't get behind the car, then you can redo it later on. Right. To see if you're any closer to driving. But then you probably just want to eat some biggins and have a chill. Yeah.

Just chill out and eat some biggins until you're ready to sit the test again. Yeah. But it's universal. It will be released in America, but it's not any different there to here. Right. Okay. Yeah. Sometime soon.

I'm trying to find a photo to show the tame of my laminated, not laminated, varnished. Oh, man. He's like, you should see the second coat I did of the varnish. If I can be fair, though, look at this photo. Well, that's quite shiny. Yeah, that's a little shiny. Yeah, that's real shiny. That's a second.

Because I was on my first coat. Yep. I put on three coats of stain and then I went a varnish and now I've got a very thick varnish, so that might take a little bit longer to dry. The children have been told not to touch. Okay. Do you remember when your dad told you that when he was doing something?

Yeah. Like with paint and you immediately put your finger out like, touch. Drawn to it. So anyway, I'm in my garage. This is why I'm doing your varnishing. This is why I'm showing them the varnishing photo because I was doing some painting.

I'm putting together this little barbecue table for my barbecue to sit in. I'll show you photos when I'm finished. I don't want to show too much until it's done. So I'm out there. I'm painting and I'm varnishing. But at the same time,

I'm kind of on a bit of a quest to clean the garage because who was it? You? Somebody scoffed at how packed my garage was. Oh, I put my car in there. That's right.

Megan said, look at this pack rat shithole. I was like, when my car barely fits in your garage, you've got a problem. No, but that's how Vaude knows he's parked. He doesn't keep this going until he hits the thing move. So I'm cleaning. I'm doing some garage-based activity. I've got the big garage door up.

And I'm there. And so during the cleaning part, I found this old chili bin, like a promo chili bin we got sent here once. And I always take the promo stuff home I found this old chilli bin, like a promo chilli bin we got sent here once and I always take the promo stuff home because I'm a pack rat. Yeah. According to my co-workers.

A hoarder. And I thought, I've got this nice big chilli bin there. I remember I talked about the big chilli bin I purchased. So I'm going to get rid of this thing because it's not that great and it's a pain to wheel around.

Okay. Because one of the wheels was kind of broken because it was cheap. Promo. So I put it on the side of the road because that's what you do in West Auckland and someone will come and snuffle up your garbage. Really? Honestly, you put it on the side of the road because that's what you do in West Auckland

and someone will come and snuffle up your garbage. Really? Honestly, you leave it out there for a couple of days and then if it's been out there and no one's taken it, you probably give it a couple more days and then you leave it and then you bring it back in or take it to the dump. Do you have to have a sign that says like freedom of the mower? No, not anymore.

Oh, okay. If it's not bolted down in West Auckland, Megan, it's gone. Do not leave your lawnmower for a second. Don't leave your lawnmower. Don't turn it off. If you leave it running, there's a general unspoken rule that they won't take it. Right. But if you turn it off while you go to empty your clippings, you might come back to no lawnmower.

So I put it out on the side of the road and then I hear a ute pull up. How long did that take? Oh, not long at all. Not long at all. I hear a ute pull up and I turn around and look. But I think, oh, this ute pull up and I turn around and look, but I think, oh, this ute, it was for a contracting company. Okay.

That's everywhere. Okay. That I won't name, but you might be able to put the clues together. And I hear, hey, buddy. And I think, that's not for me. Yep. Why? Because I never like to acknowledge it at first. I like to play hard to get with people getting my attention.

Hey, buddy. And then I'm like, well, maybe it is for me. So I turn around, I'm like, hey, and to acknowledge it at first. I like to play hard to get with people getting my attention. Hey, buddy. And then I'm like, well, maybe this for me. So I turn around, I'm like, hey, and he's looking at me. And he says, what's the story with that? And points at the chili bin that I put on the side of the road. Sweet. I was like, oh, knock yourself out. Take it, man.

I don't want it anymore. And he's like, okay, cool, thanks. I hear him get the chili bin, put it in his ute. Yeah. And then I'm back to painting. Yeah. Then, you know when somebody's close, you feel a presence? All right, Deb Weber.

I'm Calvin Cripshang over here. Is that you, Granddad? Does your name start with a J? Are you an old person? Now, Granddad had a birthday, didn't he? Did you have a birthday in winter? No. Oh, summer then.

No. One of the other seasons. Yes. So it wasn't Grandad. It was the guy from the contracting company who had just taken the chili bin and he's like snuck up and he's standing in the door of the garage. So I turn around, get a little bit of a fright. Yeah.

And he's looking around in the garage and he's like in the door of the garage so I turn around and get a little bit of a fright. And he's looking around in the garage and he's like, got anything else to give away? He is in a marked car, like a sign written business vehicle in like a uniform with this company's logo on it

and he's having a peruse through my garage to see if I've got anything else to give away that he might like. To be fair, though, it does look like. You'd have a lot to give away. You'd have a lot to give away. So I said, oh, not at the moment. I'm painting.

I'm kind of just putting stuff out there as I find it. Yeah. And he's like, okay, okay. Doesn't leave. Just stands there. And he's like, what's this for? What's this? Are you going to put a sink in there?

Because it's got a hole for the barbecue to sit in. And I'm like, no, it's a barbecue. And he's like, what's this for? What's this? Are you going to put a sink in there? Because it's got a hole for the barbecue to sit in. And I'm like, no, it's a barbecue. And he's like, oh, okay. Right. Okay. And then he begins looking around the garage again. Awkward. Yeah.

He's like, oh, it looks good. I was like, oh, thanks. And he just keeps standing there. So I'm like, stop. And I turn and I look and I'm like, yep. And he's like, oh, well, I suppose I'll leave you to it. But I'm going to be over the road sorting out a problem. So if you have anything else in that time that you want to give away,

just put it out there and I'll pick it up and take it with me. Could have been anything. I was like, all right, mate. See you later. And then he walks down does his job yeah half an hour i want to shut the garage but i couldn't because i'm working with the varnish and the fuse yeah i don't want to hotbox your versatile you don't want to hotbox your versatile and then just before he leaves he's like all right i'll see you later right well hopefully

not checking yeah no no no no no no all right you know who's gonna do a few drive-bys i know Hopefully not He's just triple checking Yeah Alright bye You know who's going to do A few drive-bys I know Oh I hate when people Don't get the message Oh it was awful He must have liked

The look of all your junk All the stuff Giving it a thorough peruse He liked the look of my junk Yeah I get a lot of guys Walking in and off the street Having a look at my junk

Do you? Sometimes I'm on the street And guys will just walk past and look at my junk. High praise. You've got to get rid of some of that junk. I've got to get more junk to be totally honest. FEMC. The following interview is spoiler free for Avengers Infinity War,

but we are joined on the phone by Benedict Gumberbatch. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. Do you miss New Zealand? Because you've been before. I have, yeah. I've been to New Zealand.

I haven't been on your show, but I think I rang you guys to talk about Strange, didn't I? Did we talk about Strange? I think the last time we talked, it might have been Hobbit-related. It might have been Hobbit-related. In town.

It might well have been, in your neck of the woods. That was the highest question in a voiceover. Did you know what I was talking about? Did you? We can't all have lovely dragon voices, can we? Just need a cold and to shout a lot at Martin Freeman. Ten years ago when the MCU kicked off with Iron Man,

did you see yourself involved in any way? You know, you're at this end of it. Did you see it becoming any of those? Did you see the first Iron Man? Like, what's been your involvement in it? Well, I hadn't even played Sherlock then. I'd had some really lovely roles and I was doing fine and doing the kind of work I'd always wanted to do, I guess,

which is just, you know, paid work as an actor with great peers on interesting projects. And then the Sherlock limelight thing happened, what, seven, eight years ago. So I was, I was a fan. I was watching these films as a fan before I had any idea that I would be touched on the shoulder for them. But I, to be honest, no, I didn't have a, I didn't have an overbearing, passionate or kind of a career. What's the the word, ambition, I suppose, to don a cape or put my underpants on the outside of my trousers or anything. So what was secrecy like on the set? Because Tom Holland has said he doesn't know how it all turns out

and you're rumoured to be one of the few that maybe does. So what was... Tom Holland's not even going to see the premiere. He's going to take another red carpet. It's going to diverge. The red carpet's going to take him off to a separate cinema. He's going to sit and watch Toy Story 3. That is a fine Toy Story though.

Is he untrustworthy? Well, no. Just young and naive. Have you seen the final product yet? Or are you going to be viewing that for the first time? I'm going to be viewing that like the fan I am

and like the character I am who's not in all of it because if I was, then it would be called something different. I mean, it's like, you know, it's a huge film with a huge cast and loads of storylines coming to a head. So I can't wait to see it.

I'm quite old fashioned, I like surprises I don't like spoilers and that's why I guess they think I'm quite a good guardian of secrets because I don't really like spilling them or having spilt for myself, you know, I'm the guy that once next to a friend in have you all seen The Sixth Sense?

Yeah So I literally the moment after the car crash, when you saw Bruce Willis sitting on the bench, I went, oh, right, so he's a ghost now. My friend went, you dick. I keep even my opinions close to my chest. And also the fact is I read a script.

This is going to be a film, and the scripts and films in this world, they diverge a lot. There's so much that's plussed, as they call it, changed, improved, and worked on all the way through the process. So, yeah, what I read is not what I'm going to be seeing on the screen. So I'm sure it'll be full of surprises and

I'm really looking forward to that. I'm so excited to see it. So as a fan, have you taken something from set of Doctor Strangers or of any of the other characters? No, I'm not a Cleftomaniac fan. I'm happy to hang my robe up at the end and leave it all be. No, it's a cloak kleptomaniac fan. I'm happy to hang my robe up at the end and leave it all be.

No, it's a cloak. But, you know, in all seriousness, I do every now and again go, you know, the eye of Agamotto, I would like to maybe, I could just take it around a hospital or some school. No, and it goes back in the box. Well, I'd be taking more. That cloak would have been made to fit. There's no point in anyone else hanging that up. It's custom.

Yeah, when you're done, you take the cloak. It's a beautiful cloak. Yeah, Marvel and Disney, you tell them. Yeah. Even if nothing, you could use it as a curtain to, like, curtain off a pantry or something, or a cupboard. Or a draft excluder.

Yes. A draft excluder. A bushfire or, you know, there's all kinds of purposes for that. It's got, it's got, it's pretty precious though. It's got its own rider and CP team and publicist and, you know, it needs to eat certain types of food. Right. And moths, of course, you've got to watch for moths.

They're the big, big risk there. Moths. It's experience in the big Marvel universe. So I don't know if I'd really want it around. It did come a batch. We love the movie. It's experience in the big Marvel universe. So I don't know if I'd really want it around. It didn't come a batch. We love the movie. It's Avengers Infinity War. Thanks so much for having a chat to us. You're welcome. Nice to talk to you guys again. Every now and then you'll see a news story about the dangers of teen slang and how they're using it to talk to each other about drugs and sex. Yeah, emojis. Rock and roll. Yeah, combinations of emojis could be really bad.

But it just seems the slang itself is being talked about in the Australian news. This from the last couple of days. And it seems teenagers are throwing shade at their parents with new slang taking over teen conversations. Just when older generations thought they'd caught up with terms like lol, a new vocabulary trend is emerging. A study shows terms like salty, meaning a bit angry, and lit, describing something that's going well,

being used by teens in everyday conversations. But perhaps the biggest surprise, the word dude has stood the test of time, with four in five teenagers still using it today. Dude is timeless. Imagine that survey. And another question here. How often do you use the word dude? Yeah.

I use it. Great. Fantastic. I've just never heard anyone say at a party, this party is going well. Or I guess you could say lit. It's not a direct translation, is it? This is lit. I guess it is going well. Or I guess you could say lit. It's not a direct translation, is it? This is lit. I guess it is going well.

Kind of, but a real weird translation. You could say it, but it would be weird to just opt one for the other. Yeah. Like, how's the surgery going? It's lit. It's going well. So I've opened up the cavity, taken out the diseased heart, looking to get it back in.

Yeah, man, it's lit. It's going well. It's lit in here. Tell you what, that nurse is a bit salty though. What up, dudes? But it's when little articles like this happen, parents often do

tag themselves in and think, I've got to start using that a bit more. They want to be in. They want to be the cool parent, don't they? I can imagine you doing this. Oh, one hundy, bro. No, the kids haven't quite reached the age

yet where there's any where they're embarrassed. Like any slang. Oh, oh, they're embarrassed. No, they haven't reached the embarrassment You're going to cry

when that day comes when they say something embarrassing. I don't think it makes far off where she's going to be embarrassed of you. She's just like,

drop me around the corner from school. You've got a couple of years at best, I reckon. No. Then I just double down on my efforts.

You'll embarrass them more. To be more embarrassing. And I say, well, do you want me to tone it down or shall I double down again? But I was talking to Caitlin about this and Mama Jane, I'm actually her favourite. She said that. Yeah.

Including Caitlin. I think I've ousted her. Totally not her favourite. Mama Jane's favourite on the show. No, no. Yes. What's your mum using at the moment? Mum loves using the word punish or like punishing.

Oh, such a punish. Yeah, because I've been using it heaps lately and she was like, what was that word that you used the other day? Why don't you use it at work? And I was like, punish? She's like, oh. And then she texts me and she's like, man, work was punishing today. But then she was seeing all these like laughy faces like she's being real clever.

Has she called anyone a punisher yet? Oh, punisher. A punisher being specifically about a person, whereas a punisher is when a, you know, that's more of a task. Task, yeah. No, I should tell her about punishing. That's such a horrible objective for someone,

calling them a punisher. You're a real punisher. Dealing with you is punishment. Yeah, basically. It's a real shot.. Dealing with you is punishment. Yeah, basically. It's a real shot. So we wanted to know this morning if your parents are using any slang. Maybe they asked you once what it meant and now they're all about it. Because your mum was using lol for a long time.

She thought that meant lots of love. That was a classic. She doesn't use, no, my parents don't really use slang. Yeah, well, they're grandparents now Slang Yeah they've given up Well they're grandparents now They've probably just given up Too old for that Yeah

Want to have a whinge about How often people use slang Right but 0800 DARS at M 9696 We want to know The slang that your parents Have picked up

Maybe from you and your friends And they're using it Maybe even double points If they're using it In the wrong context Oh yeah Yeah Like hey

It's getting really cold. I've lit the fire. It's lit. It's lit. Man, it's warm in here. It is lit. It's literal term for that word. But then that could be because the fire would be going well.

Yeah, I know. But it's still, they're using it in the wrong term, aren't they? They're not getting it. Slash literally in the right term. Yeah. They're literally using the English definition of lit. Glacify is on. It's term. Yeah. Literally using the English definition of lit. Guys, the fire's on. It's lit.

Yeah. An Australian news story that's come to our attention was dealing with the youth lingo of today and what it means. Terms like lit. It means it's going well.

It's going well. Salty means someone's angry with you. So we want to know when your parents have picked up on some lingo and what they're using. There's lots of people saying the LOLs. Their mum's still using LOL. In fact, people have received a text message from their mum

saying really sorry to hear about John passing away, LOL. Yeah, my mum was guilty of that. It's like, no, I've really got to correct you there. It's not lots of love. Just put an XOXO, Mum, if you want to. Gossip girl. Yeah. My 63-year-old mother insists on calling everyone bae.

Like, no idea where she picked it up from, but even my little niece and nephews aren't safe from being bae. Hey, bae. Oh, no, that is brilliant. It doesn't work. Ivana is called up. Ivana, what lingo has your mum picked up? My mum still uses sick as in, like, something's good.

Oh, right. Okay. Mum, that was 10 years ago. Move on. So if your mum sees someone do, like, a kickflip on a skateboard, she's like, sick groove, brah. She's still, oh, that's so sick. And I'm like, mum.

That's really damn cute did she only do it around you or does she do it around like people who literally wouldn't understand

um no I think it's around everyone because she yeah still tries to be cool sometimes picks up her

prescription from the pharmacy and she's like sick thanks so much because I am sick I'm actually sick very sick very sick um Danny what lingo She picks up her prescription from the pharmacy and she's like, sick. That's so sick. Thanks so much. Because I am sick. I'm actually sick.

Very sick. Very sick. Danny, what lingo has mum picked up? Okay. So to start off with, she was like, she said something. And then she was like, drop Michael. And we're like, what? Drop Michael?

Yeah. We're like, mum, what are you talking about? And then sort of left it. And then another time, she's like, drop Michael. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And then sort of left it. And then another time, she's like, drop Michael. And I'm like, what are you talking about? She's trying to say drop Mike at the end of something funny. Oh, Mike's dropped. Mike's dropped. He's like, boom, drop Michael.

Drop Michael. So now she just says it because she thinks she's cold. Yeah, drop Michael. Oh, Mum. That's not even drop Michael. Oh, no. Oh, no thinks she's cold. Drop Michael. That's not even Drop Michael. That's brilliant. That's good though. It is pretty cute. So you just let her say it now?

Yeah. Let her have a moment. Alright, thanks Danny. My mother-in-law just started saying FML. She knows that it's something you say when something's not going right, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know what the F stands for in FML. Somebody else said my mum pulled off bar Felicia,

and everyone just was like, stop, mum, stop. Stop. What are you doing? What are you doing? Where did she pick that up from? I don't know. My granddad uses FOMO when he thinks he's missing out, so he knows how to use it, but it's still really weird to hear your granddad uses FOMO when he thinks he's missing out. So he knows how to use it,

but it's still really weird to hear your granddad say, I've got total FOMO. He uses FOMO a lot too, I think. My mum uses totes. Started out semi-ironically, but she's just become part of her vocab now. My dad will often use Okay Dan As a reply When he's done talking to you

Okay Dan And it's like Dad where'd you get that from Stop it dad Stop it dad Stop My mum uses your mum jokes on us Doesn't really work

As soon as she is our mum Oh yeah Yeah My dad will say Grouse In front of That's old mate slang That made a little bit of a resurgence, but now it's died off again now, and dad's still rocking the grouse.

My parents live overseas, so I created a group chat on WhatsApp. It's called Lit Fam Chat. Yeah. We're 12 months into this chat when my mum sent a whole lot of messages that nobody answered answered and she said why isn't anyone answering in the little family chat app? She just thought it was

a little family chat, not lit fam chat. That's so cute. We had a good laugh about that. So we're going to change the family's WhatsApp chat name. To little family group chat. That's a real great mum would love that little name. It's a little family group chat. It's a little family group chat. Not lit. Okay. That's a real great mum.

Mum would love that little name. Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day, I was blown away by. Right. And it takes a bit to blow me away with daily fact of the day, I was blown away by. Right. And it takes a bit to blow me away with daily facts of the day. Okay. But a little bit of questioning in studio. Fletch, you don't have a car, so I don't know when the last time you would have done this would have been.

Okay. Megan, when you run out of windscreen juice in your car to squirt your windscreen with and wipe. Yeah, do I know where it goes? Yes, that's important. Yeah, I know where it goes. Okay do i know where it goes yes that's important yeah i know where it goes what do you put in there does sure she look good what are you supposed to put in there you put that stuff you get at the servo this is the main reason i don't like the guy the lights won't wipe in my windscreen because he half does it and then it goes all streaky and you're just stealing out of that bucket on the forecourt, eh? You could probably dip a bit of that in.

Getting everybody's second hand. Is there special stuff? Yeah. What's it called? Bugs. Bug off. Bug off. Bug off.

That's good stuff. Is it? There's lots on the market but that's the one that immediately popped into my head. That's the only one I know. You don't have to pay for that. I've just got a dish

I didn't look good inside. You just put water in, don't you? Wow. Uh-oh. You've led me right up the garden path exactly where I wanted to be led. Okay.

Saying you just put water in it. And Trapman, you're on up. 20% of lesion airs disease. Now, lesion airs disease comes from... Air conditioning?

A lot of it, the moisture builds up in air conditioning and then if it's not serviced regularly, it can get airborne and it blows down. Yeah,

look at the air conditioning vents around you. And if it's like surrounded by black toxic mould, you might want to get them cleaned. What does that do? Lead, ginny, or disease? It can affect the lungs. It can kill people. It can kill you. It's bad, they say, when you're doing your gardening, if you get in the potting mix and everything,

you've got to wear a little something because you don't want to get it in you. You don't want to breathe it in. Why don't they tell you that on the packet? I just repotted some plants at the weekend with my bare hands. Literally, it's huge. It's printed on it. No, it's not. I just huffed some potting mix at the weekend too.

We just opened the bag and went... Oh, yeah. Love me huffing some compost. So 20% of Legionnaires cases in the UK, in Britain, were caused by people not using windshield wiper fluid just using water.

Because the water sits there for so long and it can get warm beside your engine it basically turns into a neat little petri dish of whatever was in that water when you put in there or whatever gets into the water. Or not drinking it out of the squirt.

Yeah, you're not putting your mouth over it. If you did, that would be really bad. But these are airborne viruses. Bacteria. Oh my god! And your window's open. I've been on my bike behind someone with squirty up their squirty thing was pointing

over the windscreen. And I got like a bit of residue. Oh my god, I could have died. If you couldn't immediately smell citrus The squirty thing was pointing over the windscreen. Yeah. And I got like a bit of residue. Oh, my God. I could have died. If you couldn't immediately smell citrus or bug off. I would have loved to see that. I was like, where's that coming from? It's a nice day.

I don't know how people put up with that. No. You see some people driving their squirt over the roof. I'd be out there as soon as I got home with the key pointing it back down at the windscreen. Yeah. It'd drive me bloody nuts. No, maybe they do it on purpose as they go past a cyclist. I've done that too.

Oh my God, you could actually probably twist it round so you could. You can. You can twist them. That's terrible. As a cyclist. You can block the other two so the power will just double down. Oh, okay. They did that to your purpose.

Although it's a very unintimidating squirt, isn't it? Really, to be honest. It's an inconvenient squirt. It's like when you turn on a tap in a bathroom too quick and it squeaks up the sink and makes it look like you've done a bit of wheeze on the front of your pants. How do we know, though, that this isn't a made-up fact from the industry here? It was conducted by the NHS. Oh, National Health Service. Yeah, yeah, in Britain

because they were like, we're going to work out where these are all coming from because you've got to trace it back because obviously if I got it and they looked at work, there's a lot of people here who could have it.

So that'd be no good. So they always try to find out the sources of it. And so we had 20%, one in five were caused by people just using plain water. And again, this is no way an endorsement for any windscreen.

I just had absolutely no idea because sometimes I'll just fill it up with water and be like, meh. That'll do, yeah. And it also, this isn't a problem in a large part of the country, but down south heading into winter, apparently that stuff also stops it freezing.

Some of it might have anti-freeze property in it to stop it from freezing and clogging up all the pipes or cracking the pipes and making it, next time you go to squirt. Because we're nearly at that time when we've got to start scraping some ice off the windscreen. Yeah. Okay. Today when I walked out to the car, I went, ran my finger down it and then rubbed my thumb

on my finger. Like I knew by doing that I'd be able to work out how cold that temperature was. Right. Eight degrees. Winter is coming. See, Jon Snow's got to worry about the ice zombies coming. He's like, right. Eight degrees. Winter is coming. See, Jon Snow's got to worry about the ice zombies coming. He's like, winter's coming. Everybody knuckle down. I'm like,

winter's coming. Might have to wear a jersey. Yeah, wear a jersey. Might have to start packing a jersey. That's bloody inconvenient. Winter. So today's fact of the day is in the UK, 20% of Legionnaires disease cases

were caused by people just using water and their windscreen squirters. Fact of the day, day, day three weeks, I've been receiving a lot of calls. Okay. From international numbers. And I tried Googling them, but the area code tells me mostly British. Right. Mostly British calls.

One even came through on Viber, which I totally forgot I even had on my phone. Remember the Viber? Yeah. I am for making calls and stuff and using data, but now everything can do that, so it's no big deal. But it came through Viber. The same number tried on Viber and my actual phone. So I don't know how my phone number has ended up in...

Somewhere? Scam call... Facebook. Do you reckon? I don't know. I was just checking it out there. You're probably not wrong, though. Scam call.

Because you'd give so many databases. Is your phone number on your Facebook page? Because you're supposed to take that off. It's not on there, but it's linked. Yeah. Yeah, that means that a load of apps could definitely have had your phone number. Oh, right. They could be giving it out.

Okay, so I've been receiving a lot. I tried calling the one back. You've just told me I shouldn't have done this. I tried calling the one back from England. What? I thought everybody knew this morning. But I did it over Viber. You've just told me I shouldn't have done this. I tried calling the one back from England. I thought everybody knew this one. Are you serious? But I did it over Viber.

No, I didn't. Okay, now that, if you're going to do it anywhere, that's a good, because then I don't have any credit on that. So here's a story from the 5th of April, so only a few weeks ago, on Stuff, which says, if you've been hung up on by a mystery international number, don't call back, because they're robo-dialing scam calls, which may try to draw premium calling fees out of unsuspecting people. So basically... They call it back and they're charging you heaps

and making money off it. Yeah, so they're unsure exactly, but a lot of people have checked their phone bills and found big fees, like for toll calls. Right. And so they're getting some of that. It's like you've accidentally called back an 0900 number or something by the sounds of it. Like they're getting some of that. It's like you've accidentally called back an 0900 number or something by the sounds of it.

They're getting a commish. Yeah. But you knew it was a scam, right? I wouldn't. Yeah, I did. But then I got one from Australia and I thought that's really weird. So I called him back.

But a guy answered. And I was like, hi. And he's like, hello. I was like, hey, you've just missed a call from this number. No, but here's the thing. Sometimes they use other people's numbers. Sure.

Because he was like, I have no idea. My phone's been sitting beside me for like 20 minutes. I haven't even touched it. It's got a message, but I haven't looked at it yet. I've just answered the phone. I was like, oh, okay. I don't know what's happened. Maybe it's a mistake.

Then yesterday morning, I get a phone call, and it looks like it's coming from Wellington. Yeah. It's 04. That's Wellington's area code, right? In fact, I've probably phone call and it looks like it's coming from Wellington. Yeah. It's 04. That's Wellington's area code, right? In fact, I've probably still got the number on here. So I tried calling it back. No, we don't call them back.

You don't call them back. Can we call them back from the landline here at work? But that could actually just be a legit call from Wellington. No. So at ring, ring, ring, ring, Wellington, I'm like, I know some people in Wellington. Something could be wrong or it could be anybody. You're so nosy. This is how they get people.

You need a patron Magoo's book. They would leave a message or text you saying, call me back urgently. Well, you know, the other day I said if I ever answer a call now and I don't know who the number is, I'm going to answer it, pretend to be crying. So it really throws them off. I forgot yesterday and I answered. And it was this super noisy background and someone saying to me I've heard

that you're interested in additional income in ways of earning more money and I'm like of course I am but not from you and I'm like oh no thanks and can you take my number out of your database because I'm getting a lot of calls because

I've had five calls from people doing this too can you take my number out of your database I don't know how you're getting a hold of me because I've had five calls from people doing this too. Can you take my number out of your database? I don't know how you're getting a hold of me. But I'm not interested. And they were like, ah, but you've been chosen because of your want of additional income to receive our calls and we've got this great opportunity for you.

I said, no, you're not listening to me. I can hardly hear you because of how loud it is. You're not listening though. I don't want any part of this. Take my number out. Stop calling me. Sir, I've got a great opportunity for you, and I lose the rag. I'm screaming at them, leave me alone. Take my number out of your system. Are you listening to me?

Do not call me again. And they're like, sir, sir, just relax. We've got a great chance for you to earn money. Just hang up, boy. I'm like, no. No, I wasn't going to. I was like, you! What's your name? They, Michael. I'm like,

your name's not Michael, you damn liar! And I got really angry. And they were like, okay, if you don't want to take advantage of this great opportunity, that's fine. And I was like, oh my god, no! What about the opportunity? I was torn at this stage.

I'm like, don't call me back I don't want to hear from this number again So I hung up My wife's like who was that? I told her the story And then I was like I'm going to ring this number back Because it's a Wellington number Like that's crazy

It definitely weren't in Wellington Did you ring it back? I rang it back It rang twice Ring ring ring ring And then click, nothing. Do, do, do, do, like I'm being hung up on. So now they're disguising their numbers as, well, yeah.

Just don't answer your phone, idiots. Don't answer your phone. No, now I like yelling at them. I did this the other day. I heard someone. It's a good stress release, actually. They're yelling at a stranger. Yeah, I don't answer my phone if it's a weird number.

Even my door, I heard knocking the other day. I was like, well, I'm not expecting anyone. I know I don't answer the door either. And I was like in the hall and I heard knocking. I was like, well, that's not for me. I don't want to see anyone and no one's coming over. And then I realised when I actually went out to the gym, these couple of girls next door had been locked out.

So I probably could have helped them 10 minutes earlier, but it's not my fault they've got their key. But you didn't have a key to their house? No, to get into the hallway from them. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, and they were like, oh, my God, thank you so much. I was like, oh, you're welcome. I heard you knocking.

Obviously. So you heard them knocking? Because that was 10 minutes ago. No, just then I heard them. Oh, they re-knocked. But I'm also just leaving to go to the gym at the same time as I'm saving you. But yeah, no, you're not supposed to answer your phone or call people back or... Yeah.

You always hear stories like, this is a problem with millennials. They don't know how to work. They're always taking holidays. Spending too much money on avos. Always taking holidays. And you had avocados at the weekend, aren't you? Didn't you? Yes, it was just delicious.

And what form did these avocados take? Smashed. They were smashed and they had a dash of lemon and they were also in amongst some lovely crushed macadamia nuts. Macadamia! It was exquisite. That is a one percenters nut. That is not...

I like a nut in my avo, like pistachio. It was such a surprise. Pine nut. Pine nut on the smashed avocado is a real treat. Oh, that's a bit pov. It's not macadamia. And then it's noodles. Per 100 grams, I think you'd be paying more for a pine nut

than you would for a macadamia. Oh, yeah, without a doubt, Vaughan, you're not wrong. I'm going to look into this. And then millennials, like, you know, two weeks out from payday, because we get paid monthly, I'm on the noodles. Well, you shouldn't have had smashed avocado in that premium. No, but I think it's... Fast and loose.

You've got to live the highs to experience the lows. Yes, it's true. We've all done it. So we're turning the tables here, and therapists, who are the people who have to deal with millennials' problems, they have come to the table and said, these are the main complaints that 20 to 30-year-olds, people in their 20s and 30s, have about their parents.

Good to know. Because I've never been to a therapist, but good to know that there's patient confidentiality here. Well, they're not saying, Megan said this about her mum. It's sort of mass information, isn't it? Kind of like a snapshot of everybody. Yeah. And, I mean, they're the people that brought us up.

So if we've got problems, it's because of them. Okay. So I grew up with helicopter parents and now I can't function like a real adult. So the complaint is... Oh, I was going to say, this wasn't a confession from you. No, no, no. This is number one. So helicopter parents, am I right?

That's like they're hovering over their kids all the time. That's why they're called helicopter. And they're very involved. They're very... Just always right in your face. So they're saying that a lot of millennials, when they go out into the workplace, when they go out flatting,

they literally don't know how to function. Because the parents have been there telling them what to do and how to do it and everything. And now my boss says I'm useless? Yeah, Anya's always asking us to tie her shoelaces. Things like that. It's just, come on. Helicopter parents are teachers' worst nightmares. of shoelaces. Things like that. It's just, come on. Teachers,

helicopter parents are teachers' worst nightmares because teachers just want to like, they always involve, overly involved.

I mean, teachers like when their parents are involved. Yeah. But you know, if they're constantly in there and saying, why is my child

not this and do this I didn't have helicopter parents because we had heaps of time to get up shenanigans like put forks into the plugs,

the sockets. Yeah, that kind of stuff. Survive these sorts of... They were like, leave those plugs uncovered. If he does it, it's his own fault. Well, it's survival of the fittest, isn't it? That kind of parenting. I miss it. My parents don't think I need therapy, is another complaint from millennials about their parents.

So they would say... But that's an old school way of thinking, isn't it? No, you don't... They do, there's a sign of weakness. Yeah. The stigma associated with parenting. Could be a good thing. So they did it on...

They'd go to therapy quietly and not tell their parents about their problems. Who's paying for that? What? The therapy. That's probably another thing they say too. Smash Davos and therapy. Because that's not...

How much is therapy? Well, it depends entirely on where you go and some of it's partially funded. Do they do a Grab One discount? That would be great, actually. I don't think so. Although I don't think I'd be going to a therapist, unless it was a physiotherapist

that was offering a Grab One discount. And then there's all different kinds of therapists. My parents are overly involved in my financial life. I don't want to name names, but I know a guy. A guy. Oh, a guy, okay. Who's like in his 30s. Yeah.

And his mum still has a lot of control and can see his bank account. And like helps him with his financials. It's not Andrew. Is she like a signature on the account? No, I don't know. I don't know if it's that far. Because producer Caitlin, your mum, but to be fair, probably in all fairness to her,

she got you off your credit card, didn't she? We weren't saying that. No, so what happened was when I went to Kenya, oh man, I'm going to get in trouble. When I went to Kenya, I used a credit card, like a flight centre credit card to pay for that. But I didn't realize that, because then I was using it as a credit card because I had this old limit. Oh my God.

And then I was like, why do I have all of this interest? And it was very stressful. Because your holiday was interest free, but it was, your purchases aren't. But the purchases, because I was using it in Kenya and like when I went to Melbourne and stuff, I was just using it like as a credit card. But people notice. And I was like, I'll just pay it back. And I was paying it back, but I was just using it like as a credit card. But people know this. And I was like, I'll just pay it back. And I was paying it back, but I was still getting all this interest.

So anyway, mum and dad were just like, this is the last time. But I have to pay them back. This is the last time. This is the second time you guys have spoken about this and I still don't understand. What do you mean you don't understand? Why she got like all this interest?

Yeah, I didn't understand. Because that's how credit card works. I don't know, but she was paying stuff off. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't understand. Because that's how credit card works. I don't know, but she was paying stuff off. Yeah. Yeah, but, oh my God, okay. Because I was paying, yeah. Why don't they teach this stuff at schools?

Because I didn't know about it for ages either. Well, James said when he went to school, they had a financial literacy. Yeah, financial literacy. It was, well, it was actually, you had to go to it, but not a lot of people did. But yeah, you learned about your tax codes and your tax, and this guy called Warren did it, and he had glasses.

Warren! Warren! Warren! It was great. It was great. We filled out a booklet and got a couple of credits for it. We need to get Warren to sort out Caitlin and Megan. No, I've got a book. I'm buying a book about money and how to save. You guys are all too nice, Warren. This year, the year of my 28th birthday, I'm going to learn how to get a savings account. No, I've got a book about money and how to save. You guys are all drooling. It's boring. This year, the year of my 28th birthday,

I'm going to learn how to get a savings account. No, I've got a savings app now, and it just tells me every time I'm going over my, like, budget. See, I don't know about budgets and stuff. I'm really bad. I just, like, eat really rich at the start of the month and eat really terribly at the end of the month. But out of the price code.

So this is what a lot of millennials are saying to therapists. We don't know how to deal with our financials. Wow. It's true. And I know whose fault it is. My parents. Yep.

No, I don't know. Teachers. And lastly, mine. It's your own fault, but I'm going to Warren's next course about financial literacy. Warren's an app now. He tells Megan to stop spending.

Hey, g'day. G'day, Meigs. Warren here. Put this on, Warren. Put this word in your ear there, love. You've overshot your spending this week. Quite a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm just here to have fun. I'm one of the cool guys. Me, Warren. That's the greatest name for a money-saving app ever. Warren. I mean, lastly, my parents didn't teach me how to navigate my negative emotions. Because once again, they're like, no, that's to be, they said it's from kind of housewife era,

where especially women were like, oh, you're feeling anxious? Just bury that down. Maybe take a pill or just ignore those unhealthy emotions. Wow. Instead of like, weigh it down, bury it down deep inside. And then put a bottle of wine on top of it. Exactly. Right, so this is what they said, by the way.

We can blame everything on our parents. Yeah. Macadamia nuts, $69.90 a kilogram. $69.90. This is online shopping. This is the best I could find. Okay. $69.90 a kilogram for macadamia nuts.

Pine nuts, $79.90 a kilogram. Yeah, I knew it. Who's the pov-o-nut now?
