Slip the old headphones on there in a casual manner. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. What's today? Thursday. Tomorrow's Friday. It's the first of August. It is too Friday. It's the 1st of August. It is too.

This is officially the last month of winter. Yeah, what? Because autumn's meant to be what? The 1st of October? End of September, start of October. Spring. Spring. Oh, what did I say?

Autumn. Spring. But isn't it meant to start mid-September? Well, it depends where you like your equinoxes. Do you like it on the equinox? Mate, I'll take it wherever I can get. Ottoman, equinox, couch, bed. But that's more like mid-September.

Right, okay. Do you want to know exciting news? What? Eight weeks till daylight savings. That is great news. It's not that far away. It is great news, but also, far away It is great news But also Holy moly

2019 Yeah Apply the brakes In an orderly fashion Alright you lot Listen up It's story time Alright story time

Three news headlines Vaughan and Megan Pick one of the following three. Headline one, man's luggage launches questions. Headline two, police launch web for help. And headline three, rare op shop find. Those are your three headlines. Go for gold.

A rare op shop find. I love a rare op shop find. Yeah. I like that story too because I feel like I might not, but I've forgotten it. Oh no, I'll hear you out. We want that one. Take a random guess. We'll lock that one in.

Alright, we go to America now. Placeville, Goodwill. They found a dangerous donation in their clothing bin. You know those clothing bins that we've got everywhere? Yeah. Same kind of situation. You dump your stuff in there because it's not always, we call them clothing bins,

but you can put a lot of stuff in there for these Goodwill shops. Well, you're not supposed to. You're not, why? You're not supposed to. No, it's just shoes and clothes, isn't it? Yeah, right. Well, somebody decided

at this Goodwill drop-off box bin to donate a live mortar shell, believed to be from World War II. Jesus. Like, you know those comical... Oh, wow. So, you know in the movies when they're in the trench and they've got that, like, pipe.

Yeah, like a... And they drop it in and they get away and it... Yeah. It goes... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like a... And they drop it in and they get away and it... Yeah. It goes... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, one of those. And it's believed that the donations are from a deceased war vet. So it looks like the family or someone was cleaning out his house

and just chucked it all in the clothing bin, including the live World War II mortar shell. Oh, my God. They're quite lucky that that didn't blow up. Yeah, so the bomb squad from the nearby Travis Air Force Base was called in, and they were able to get the mortar shell and safely detonate that. Good Lord.

Fun. Did you reckon they just took it to the desert and dropped it down an old mortar pipe? Boys, I want to do this, Steve. Yeah, me too, Dave. Good lord. Fun. Did you remember they just took it to the desert and dropped it down an old mortar pipe? I was about to do this, Steve. Yeah, me too. How great would that be?

It'd be disappointing if it was like a real fizzer, like it went boink, boink, boink. Oh.

Well, because it's from World War I. Oh yeah, exactly. Do they go off? Why? Do they have a best before date on it? It's like a dud

firework though. You go up to it, you've got to before date on it? It's like a dud firework, though. You go up to it. You've got to be careful because it might just be like, and then it's like. Yeah, you look down into it, don't you, and it blows up in your face. Yeah, it would be real careful. You don't want that.

All right. You don't want that. Ten past six. Bad news for people who have Alexa. I don't have Alexa. I've got Alexa. Just got one. This will teach you. Because Vaughn got one. That's pretty fun. This've got Alexa. Just got one. This will teach you.

Well, because Vaughan got one, so I was like, oh, I've got to get one. That's pretty fun. This will teach you for being bougie. I don't have to turn off my TV anymore. I just say Alexa. Alexa, turn off my TV, please. What a chore. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. For those who have Alexa, you two do. Explain what Alexa is. It's a personal assistant that you speak to. So just a little speaker. Yeah, and it connects to the internet, and you can ask it questions,

like what's the weather doing, news, play games with it. It connects to devices. And so if you've got the Alexa-enabled light switches, you could be like, Alexa, turn the light switches off in the lounge and kitchen. Don't say that. You've just turned someone's lounge on.

Alexa. So you download behaviour skills. So you can say, Alexa, listen to ZM. And it will start up your stereo or it'll play it on the speaker. Alexa, turn it up. Yeah, you can say that. Yep, volume up. And then when you're like, dinner's ready

and the kids are going to be like, Alexa, turn off the television. And then the television goes off. Gosh. And then when you're like, dinner's ready, and the kids are going to be like, Alexa, turn off the television. And then the television goes off. Gosh. And like, you could even be like. Have the other half of the day. If you get those Philips Lux lights. I have those lights, those light bulbs, but I don't have Alexa. Who gave you those light bulbs?

When I signed up to like a power company, they were like, do you want these smart bulbs? Well, good. They gave you like the ultra bougie light bulbs. Yeah. I've got two of them. You should get the app. You can change it with even or without Alexa.

Change colour and everything. So you could be like Alexa alarm. I want some red light. And it would like flash red light, white light, red light, white light. And you can have it set up to like your security system. Because you can pretend that police are coming in. And then you say when the security system detects motion in this, because you're away, so you turn it on.

I don't have a security system. Oh, yeah, I do. And then all the lights and everything will flash. Yeah, Leo's your security system. When Leo barks, flash. And the robbers are like, oh, we better leave this house. That dog sounds vicious.

So for those people who have Alexa, it turns out that it is listening even when it shouldn't be listening. It's sending back audio clips. So they have staff around the world who they send back clips to for analysis. Because the idea is they want to train these systems, and we've talked about this in the past because there have been rumours,

that they want to train their staff so that the system's better. Yeah. So that they're like checking if what you're saying matches what Alexa's doing. Yeah. I guess, right? Yeah, there's a reason why it's been sent back. But it turns out that members of the team that are listening are privy to personal moments.

So people are talking about money. They're having frank discussions of medical issues. They're talking, money, they're having frank discussions of medical issues, they're talking, well they're having arguments and also they're getting back sounds of intimate moments. Oh, me oh my. Love each other very much.

Me oh my. Ah, yeah, they're hearing Alexa users having sex. Well, no, the joke's on Alexa because I don't have sex. And on the rare occasion I do, it's not in the kitchen. And that's where the Alexa is. But I know people get them all around the house. You should spice it up.

Move Alexa to the bedroom. Yeah. Alexa might like to be in the bedroom. No. But I know people have like the Alexa units because they all link. Yeah. So you can have one main one and then like dots throughout the house. Yeah.

That would be kind of. Like Alexa could literally follow a conversation or an argument that was moving from room to room. Yeah. Where are you going? Get back here. Alexa's like, switch to bedroom. And then you get there. I said, get back here.

Alexa's like, oh, I didn't miss anything. But it doesn't. So when you say Alexa, it doesn't respond. It just goes. do-do. It's the light goes round. If that was your job, though, would you like, I mean, if you've got to, all you've got to do nine to five is listen to these arguments or listen to messages on Alexa.

That would be the jackpot. I'd be waiting. You'd be waiting for arguments. You'd be waiting for like something good, wouldn't you? Yeah. It would actually be probably a great part of the day. And then it's just one person. And then what are they going to do with that?

They're just going to be like, ha-ha, delete. Yeah, or they'd probably send it around the office. I'd imagine you'd send around the good clips around the office. Like, you'd be like, hey, you'd probably have a group chat. Hey, guys, we've got a good one. Good stuff today. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got some juicy stuff out of an Alexa and Sansa.

This sounded passionate. This sounded like a passionate argument. But they must get a few because there's 6.5 million homes that have Alexa in the UK alone.

Wow, really? So like, it's a lot of audio to go through. To go through, yeah. So maybe it's not as common as we think it is. So the chance of them

listening to your Alexa audio, they're probably slim. Very slim, yeah. But they have algorithms picking up all the interesting stuff, surely, just an algorithm running. Yeah, because I, so you're saying that you don't, because you have to say the keyword Alexa, and then it lights up and listens.

Yeah. So if you don't say that, can they still listen? Don't know. I hope not. Because how are they hearing money talks and like personal conversations if they're not saying Alexa? We've said it so many times. I know.

I'm throwing it on purpose. The Alexas are so confused. They are. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Because we're all trying to look after the environment. There was a story yesterday or the day before. We've already used all the world's reusable, like, renewable resources. Yeah.

Earlier than ever before. Yeah. So, like, the year's renewable resources are already gone. What do you mean? You know how they calculate the renewable resources in the world? How much we can use. And then every year, we always use it early, but this year we've used it,

everything up earlier than ever before. Reusable resource. Renewable. Renewable. Earth's renewable resources. Right, like trees and such. Because we can regrow them. How much we're meant to use.

Yeah. Is that what you mean? To stay above, like how much we're producing versus how much we use, but we've gone out of whack and we're using more than we're making. Well, we do every year, but this year we've used

it quicker than ever before. That's not good. We know we're terrible people. Yesterday marked the end of, was it plastic free July for you, Caitlin? Yeah. So, I'm just going to continue doing what I'm doing because I kind of failed at it a bit in places. Remember when I had to cook for my friend

and lots of Uber Eats and stuff. But you did pretty good though. Yeah. So I'm just being really conscious about it. Well, that's the first step. So Ellie and I, my flatmate, we're getting a compostable bin. A compost bin? Yeah. You don't want the bin itself, we're getting a compostable bin. A compost bin?

Yeah. You don't want the bin itself to be compostable. A compost bin. It'll just sag out of the bottom and you'll have your compost. A compostability bin. Okay. It's a compost bin. A compost bin.

A compostability. Can you please call it a compostability bin? I love that. That's great. We just have to figure out how to do it the right way, but that's on the cards for the next few weeks. It's a good idea. It's great. We just have to figure out how to do it the right way, but that's on the cards for the next few weeks. It's a good idea. It's good. So here's

the top ten, well the ten things that you can't actually recycle in New Zealand. Give your heads up. Because I get wild when I go to the recycle bins in our apartment building, because you're not meant to chuck out your plastic bags in the recycle bin. No. And people put all their recycling in a plastic bag,

and I'm like, no. So you're correct, Fletch. Soft plastic packaging. That includes cling film, chippy packets, lolly wrappers, plastic produce bags, anything that's soft plastic is not recyclable. They should be avoided using them in the first place. Yeah, so try to reuse that kind of packaging,

but otherwise you've sadly just got to chuck it in the bin, don't you? Yeah. Burn it or burn it, as it seems to be all for. Specific kind of glass, mirrors, light bulbs, window glass, and drinking glasses are all non-recyclable. I chucked a drinking glass in the recycling. Why is it? Because it's tempered. They have a coating, which is non-recyclable. I chucked a drinking glass in the recycling Why isn't it because it's tempered?

They have a coating which is non-recyclable A coating on the glass Who knew? Who knew? So if you break a glass you can't chuck it in the recycling bin Unless you do that Pinterest thing when you recycle wine bottles And you get a hot wire and you cut through them And then sand them down and make glasses out of the old wine bottles. That doesn't always work well.

Not when it was shattered glass or through your sink. And a cut hand. Mail wrapping. So if you get a package delivered, you can't always, unless it says, and a lot of courier places are doing this now, it says it's eco-wrapping. Yeah, you got one the other day that was eco-wrapping. Yeah, and instead of

bubble wrap, a lot of places are using that recycled brown filler paper. So you can chuck it again in the recycling bin. But most packaging is still non-recyclable, unless it says so, which includes bubble wrap, polystyrene. Bad news for the recycling bin. Cloth or clothing. It feels like, because we use so much of it,

that it should be recyclable, but it is not. So you're better to, if you're not going to pass it on to someone else, cut it up and use it for a rag or something. Or even the clothing bins. A lot of them will take the clothes they can't resell and turn them into rags and sell those. Yeah. Or stuff them inside boxing bags. Yeah, exactly. Clothes hangers, they are often not made entirely of plastic or metal.

So they can't be recycled, but you can take them to your local op shop or something. They always need hangers. What's that, broke? Yeah, you're just probably going to have to chuck it out. Sadly. Or burn it. Food waste, that's why we need compost bins,

because you obviously can't put that in the recycling bin. Or compostability bins, as in alcohol. Or compostable bins. Dangerous goods, that includes batteries, paints, sharp objects, obviously.

Those are not recyclable. You have to chuck those in the bin. So if I've got a sword, for example, say I had a sword, in the bin, not recycle. Yeah.

Unless I take it to a scrap metal dealer. Yeah. I don't know if they buy it by the sword. But you can try. Coffee cups, because they have a waxy coating, are not recyclable. A lot of them are compostable though. Right. So you should take a keep cup.

Always take a keep cup. There's a place in Papamaa East in the Bay of Plenty, they make an edible coffee cup. What? Yeah. What's it made out of? Like ice cream cone. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, okay.

Kind of like vanilla essence and egg and flour and stuff. But like what if you're having your morning coffee like it's a bit early for like a sweet treat? No, because I don't think it's overly sweet. I think it's more like a wafery cone. I feel the pressure's on to drink that coffee time-wise. No, apparently it'll last for an hour. Oh. Before it soaks through.

All right. Yeah. Okay. soaks through. All right. Yeah. Okay. Food-encrusted packaging. We learnt that with the pizza boxes. Anything that's got, like, food stuck onto it. Oil.

And oil you can't recycle. And the last one, which I'd love everyone to think about, gift wrapping and decorative cards. Let's stop doing cards. Yeah, I hate cards. It's just unnecessary. I don't need a card.

I keep all my cards. Yeah, but... But what's the point? The coating on it makes them impossible to recycle and the trees that we're using to go into that one little card, let's just, like, not do that anymore. Send them one of those e-cards. That probably uses a lot of carbon.

It's probably got a big carbon footprint too. Just don't... Just say it in person. Just say, here's a present. Yeah. Write it on your iPhone or your phone, what you want to say and say it to them in person. You're in charge a present. Yeah. Write it on your iPhone or your phone what you want to say and say it to them in person.

You're in charge of telling the next person who leaves here who gets one of those big, sorry, you're leaving cards in front of everybody, you have to say, didn't get your card, environmental stuff. No, and you have to stand in front of them, the person that's leaving, and say a nice thing about them. Yeah, that's nice though. Actually, no, that would be hard.

I'd just rather have a big, nice little card. And how do I take up heaps of room doing that? Because I love taking up lots of room on a communal card. Well, just talk constantly for like two minutes. That's the same thing. Just talk really loudly constantly. Hey, there are new Air New Zealand safety videos out. They just popped up on my Facebook.

Oh, okay. The Air All Blacks is what it's called. So it's a lead-in to the Rugby World Cup safety video. Well, it can't be any worse than the last one. Four minutes, eight seconds long. I haven't watched it yet. That's shorter than the last one too, isn't it? Stars Lewis Lett from Suits.

Yes. And Cliff Curtis. Really? I'm only going to say the first couple of seconds has got Cliff Curtis in it. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Good morning. Well, I think Adele said it best when she said, Rumours have it.

Rumours have it. Tom Cruise is looking for a rental in the South Island of New Zealand. Two more Mission Impossible movies coming. And the South Island is so versatile. Oh, yeah. For filming. So versatile. I wonder

why they've never filmed a Bond movie in New Zealand. Because what have they done? 20-something Bond movies? They've never had a ski chase or an evil lair in the mountains. Because he lived in Sweden for a while but it was Rachel Weisz, his wife was filming that movie down there.

Oh yeah, the latest Bond. What's his name? Daniel Craig. Yeah, he was living in Dunedin. that movie down there. Oh, yeah, the latest Bond. What's his name? Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig, yeah, he was. Yeah, he was living in Dunedin. Did a movie there. The Lighthouse Keepers. Did you ever watch that movie? No, because you told me it would destroy me.

Oh, my God. And it nearly destroyed you. So I was like, if it nearly destroyed you, it'll absolutely destroy me. It's grim as anything. Great movie, though. Grim as anything. It'll just ruin your weekend.

Great movie. Great movie. So what the rumours are, they're going to film ruin your week. Yeah, no, they're great movies. So what the rumours are, they're going to film two Mission Impossible movies back-to-back in New Zealand. This is the rumour. Yes. And so that would take a while.

So Tom Cruise would be looking for a rental. I've got the top six places for Tom Cruise to rent. Is it because we let him do that ridiculous helicopter stunt? Yeah, because it was the only place in the world that would let him. Yeah. The rules were loose enough that would let him. You want to borrow a helicopter?

He's like, no, I'll borrow mine. They're like, sure, knock yourself out. Just don't hit any power lines if you can help it. So the top six places for Tom Cruise to rent. These are actual properties. I just searched. I'm keeping budget in mind. Okay.

Keep the costs down. Our first at number six is a property. Oh, you are kidding me. I copy and pasted all these things into a Word document so then I could click it. Yeah. Where's your Word document? Click it and it says unable to open it. Cannot locate the internet server or proxy server?

What if I copy and paste? Look, I'm sorry about this. Here we go. Yeah. Number six is a two-bedroom unit in Aranui in Christchurch. $310 a week. Okay. That's good.

And one double room, one single, two sunny living areas, one of which has a heat pump. Will accept pets depending on breed, which is great. I don't know if he's got a pet, but that's always a good option to have. Now, this rumor, this entertainment article, did say he'd need a helicopter pad nearby. So are these properties, do they have a backyard? I don't know, he's got some parks. Okay, good.

He can land in that. Okay. I don't think anyone in Adenui is going to tango with a helicopter. All time cruise. Like if it's tied down to tango with a helicopter. Or Tom Cruise. Like if it's tied down in the park with a do not touch sign on it. And there's two rooms, so he can share that with his stunt double. Yes. Obviously, Tom would take the smaller of the rooms because he's a gentleman.

Yeah. Number five on the list of the top six affordable rentals for Tom Cruise in the South Island, if he comes back. We go now to a suburb I've never heard of in Dunedin. I've not spent a lot of time in suburban Dunedin. Corstaphine. Oh, yeah, okay. Corstaphine, are you familiar with Corstaphine?

Yeah, I know that, yeah. For $350 a week, Tom Cruise could be living at 1 Milburn Street. Oh, okay. We've got a two-bedroom, one-bathroom. Yeah. It's fully furnished, which is great. That's what you want when you're coming in, you know. Wade doesn't bring his own couches, does he?

No, he doesn't even have to worry about it. All you need is your suitcase, it says. Open plan living, separate living area, two double bedrooms. That sounds delightful. Two heat pumps, a single garage so you can put the helicopter in there. Okay, great. However, no pets, but you can't have it all. No, you can't.

You can't have it all. But a whole house for $350 a week. Auckland renters. Something to keep in mind. While Vaughan was making his top six, all Megan and I heard was, $300 for a whole week? Oh, my God. This is actually a nice house.

Let's go next. Number four. We're popping a little bit further down the road to Strathairn in Invercargill. Okay. You can get a, for $150 a week. This is a shared home because it's five bedrooms, but you can get two of those bedrooms for $150 a week. This just makes me depressed about how expensive it is

in the big cities like Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch. So your weekly rent includes all of your bedroom furniture, all of the linen, a warm house with ultra-fast internet. Oh, my God. A weekly cleaner, fully furnished house, off-street parking, and power to the value of $180 a month. Any over this will be divided up amongst the... What's the catch?

Where can he park his helicopter, though? Well, if I look at the map here... Is there a park nearby? Bain Park's down the road. Oh, perfect. Yep. Applebee's got plenty of green area there. You know, there's options. There's options.

Yeah. The next on the top six places Tom Cruise could rent in the South Island, keeping budget firmly in mind, we go to Linwood, a one-bedroom place for $160 a week. What? Oh, that's good bargain. Single room, comfy bed, chest of drawers, freestanding clothes rack. Everything a man could need. A Hollywood superstar like Tom Cruise.

So that's Linwood. Number two, Megan. Yeah. Number two, we're popping up to Nelson. Okay. Because I don't know where in the South Island this has been filmed, but up the top of the South Island, some wonderful filming locations and possibilities.

The Wood. Okay. Is the suburb he will be living in. And for $330 a week, Tom's just picked himself up a one bedroom, one bathroom unit located for a short walk to the Mai Tai River in central Nelson.

It's a beautiful area. Open plan. There's a toilet, which is great. One of those. Off-street parking for one car or helicopter. Yeah. I feel he's going to need one of those contraptions where they land on it

and it slides your helicopter into the garage. Yeah. I mean, most rentals need one of those contraptions where they land on it and it slides your helicopter into the garage. Yeah. I mean, most rentals probably come with that, don't they? I've been out of the rental market for a while, but I assume that's what landlords prioritise. They do, yeah. They certainly do. And finally on today's top six,

affordable South Island properties for Tom Cruise to rent when he's here filming the next two Mission Impossible movies. We go to famously one of the cheapest places in New Zealand to rent, Matoura, just out of Gore. Okay. For $150 a week, you can get an entire three-bedroom house. Jeez.

It's three bedrooms. That's so depressing. Open fire, so that's romantic. Yeah. Coal and electric ranges. Oh, okay. A coal range. Legendary, eh?

Smell like Nana's house. A bath with a shower above it. A shub. A shub. Legendary, eh? Smell like Nana's house. A bath with a shower above it. A shub. Off-street parking and a large yard. Yes, I hear the question. Is it large enough to land a helicopter in? It certainly is. Look. I think you could land a fleet of helicopters in the backyard at your...

And that's $150 a week. Oh my gosh. That makes me so depressed. It's got a smoke alarm too. Great news. That's just one of its features. So today's top six brought to you by overinflated property prices in major metro areas, but also I guess you've got to live where you can get a job. Exactly.

That's another option. That is today's top six. You'll remember yesterday, if you're listening to the show, we talked about Frankston, which is a place in Victoria, in Australia, and just outside of Melbourne. A town had been covered in graffiti that read, Chris, you need to talk to me before a baby is born or don't bother after. Now, this was on seven or eight sites around Princeton. And this went worldwide viral.

It went mostly because she had a purple spray paint. I've never seen that colour on a spray paint. It was a lovely spray paint. I'm fascinated. It's like a grimace purple. Yeah. Like a deep, dark purple. You think it was like a car spray paint?

I don't know. I know that spray paint comes in all colours and stuff, but I've just never really seen it in that purple before. Anyway, that was written all over the town and everyone was like, what's going on here? Bit of a mystery, bit of a situation. An arrest has been made.

What? They have arrested a man? No, a 36 year old woman has been charged following the graffiti. So it was between the 29th and the 30th of July. Okay. So only a couple of days ago. And she was arrested

and charged with criminal damage, willful damage, marked graffiti and committing an indictable offence whilst on bail. So she's on bail. And she'll be appearing before the magistrate's court on the 13th of

December. Swift justice. Swift. Just in time for Christmas. But then the baby might be born by then, right? We don't know how far along she is. She's pregnant to the point of she's going to have a baby in between now and then.

But then you've got to take your newborn to court, don't you? Are they a pain to take into court? Well, I don't know. Does it get you a bit of... Do you put them through the metal detector? I was going to say, does it get you leniency? Do they maybe give you a little bit less... I mean, they're probably less likely to send you to jail.

Maybe, yeah Any word from Chris? Still no word from Chris No you're right Megan, no word from Chris He's bound to have heard about it I mean with the spray paint and the news stories I feel like this needs a bit of a 60 minutes or a Netflix one off Now I want to know what she's on bail for

Yeah I want to know what they look like too I want to know some goss, I want to know the story's on bail for. Yeah, I want to know what they look like, too. I want to know some goss. I want to know the story behind it. And why Chris isn't talking to her. Even if it's just a Jeremy Kyle one-off. Yeah, just an investment. I feel like it would probably be more of a... Who's the Australian Jeremy Kyle?

I don't know if they've got one. Right. Oh, let's just hope some answers. Yeah. Let's hope we get more answers. Fletchfod and Megan's 20 Questions. I have questions for you. Hope some answers. Let's hope we get more answers. But $2,000 up for grabs now. Seven questions to go.

Seven questions remain. These are the questions asked so far. Is it a living thing? No. Is it found in a house? No. Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor? No. Is it found in a house? No. Is it a power tool? No.

Does it have a motor? No. Is it something you would wear? No. Is it outside? Yes. Is it outside around your house? It could be. Just yes will do sufficiently.

Would you use it in your house? No. Would you, sorry, is it bright orange? No. Can it be made out of wood? No. Can you hang something on it? Yes. Is it found in your car? No. Is it sports equipment? No. Those are the questions that have been asked so far from those questions. Make a guess. First, we take a yes-no question to narrow down the field even further before you ask. Sam, good morning. Morning, guys. Morning.

All right, so we need a yes-no question from you, Sam. Okay. Can you find that the most Kiwi households outside? No. No. So now you get your guess at a specific thing that you may believe we're working our way to

over these 20 questions. Is it a barbecue? For $2,000, is it a barbecue? Would you have answered that question? I probably would have said yes. I would have said it's yes for that last question, though. Yeah, I would have thought a barbecue would have been

in most Kiwi households. Can you hang something on it? We said yes. I suppose you could hang tongs. You could hang tongs? Yep. Can it be made out of wood? We said no.

Well, you wouldn't make a barbecue out of wood, would you? But then the outsides of wood. Parts of it are wood. The frame of it could be wood, wood? We said no. Well, you wouldn't make a barbecue out of wood, would you? But then the outsides of wood. Parts of it are wood. The frame of it could be wood, but not the barbecue itself. Yeah, we would have stopped to discuss that. Yeah, we would have. The answer for is it a barbecue is...

No, it's not a barbecue. All right, Sam. Thanks, guys. All good. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Yesterday, the internet... Well, it was something nice on the internet for a change Wasn't it? Something nice out of something bad

I'm talking about the seesaw That was through the border war between the US and Mexico Apparently this was between Juarez, Mexico Am I saying that right? In El Paso, Texas Was where it was They were bright pink. And the kids on the Mexican side and the kids on the American side

sat on an end of a seesaw reach. And due to the design of the wall, there's gaps there, the border wall. Yeah. And they could fit a seesaw through it, clicked on it. It was designed specifically for it. It was measured up and built in Juarez and then fed through, clicked on, and they could use it like a seesaw. They were bright pink. It looked so cool. Yeah, it did. And kind of

kids were on both sides. That's how a seesaw works. Yeah. But I wonder who first jumped off the seesaw without telling the other person so they crashed into the ground and hurt their butt because that could be the start of a war regardless of your age. But someone got a drone up and took a photo looking directly down and the wall was dividing the seesaw. The seesaw was bright pink. Yeah. Kids playing on both sides.

Just an incredible photo. It turned out some artists made them and put them on there. They said they wanted to show that even though they're divided through a fence, kids don't really see the world like adults. They don't, do they not? And when we put a border between them, they believe that it's there for a reason. So it's kind of passing it on to the kids. And that is true.

Like kids don't, like my experience with my kids, kids don't care about race. It just doesn't even like cross their mind that someone's got a slightly different skin tone to them. Like they just don't see it. And it has to come from somewhere. Yeah. When they do, you know, if you hear a kid say something racist,

they've heard that from somewhere. They've been taught that. That's not at all ingrained in them. So, yeah, it was quite a beautiful thing. But now they're not there anymore. The seesaws are gone. I wondered how long they'd last. Yeah, they've been.

Somebody took a photo. This was on Forbes.com of the same spot. And they said, no, they're no longer there. Such a giant waste of money because they've proven that you'd be able to tunnel under this. They've spent all these billions of dollars. It could be going to housing. 3.7 billion dollars was

allocated of the Pentagon's funding to build Trump's wall. It's crazy. This week, so. And they can't even wall off the entire border. Because some of it's impossible to wall. It's just a waste of money. Billions and billions and billions and billions. Anyway, I'll attempt it.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Final season of Suits is on Lightbox now. And joining us on the phone, one of the stars of Suits, Sarah Rafferty. Good morning. Good morning. How are you?

Good. The last time we spoke to you, because we are here in New Zealand, we spoke about your travels around New Zealand. Oh, yes. My husband and I had an amazing time. We went on a tramp, right? Isn't that what we call it? Yeah, we did.

Yeah, we did. Because you said hiking and we said, no, it's tramping. Much of a muchness. Same thing. It's tramping and we knew you weren't calling me names when you said it, so we're all good. Because you are a tramper if you tramp. Not a tramp. It's tramping, and we knew you weren't calling me names when you said it, so we're all good. Because you are a tramper if you tramp. Not a tramp.

Not a tramp. The final season of Suits. This must feel so weird for you. You've been Donna for so long. I've been Donna almost a decade. I honestly can't believe it. I've been playing Donna longer than I went to high school, college, and graduate school all put together.

It's crazy. I was thinking about, like, when shows have been running for as long as suits have, there's so much pressure on that final episode, that final scene. I just think Donna's got to get the final words. It's got to be like, I'm Donna or something. Oh, that's nice. Well, I have no idea what's going to happen. I don't know if our creator would necessarily agree with you.

We shall see. But I think we'll have a final word. You know, what's really important to me is that I feel like when I meet people who watch Suits, our characters really live in their consciousness, really live on their laptop or in their living room, wherever they're watching it. So I hope that, you know, when we finish off and these characters march into the sunset in some way, that it's just in some way that keeps them alive

in people's consciousness and they can continue to visit them on their own, wonder what they're up to. No plans for a Donna spinoff? Because Pearson's starting. That's the spinoff for Jenna Torres' character, Jessica Pearson. Yes, I know. It's great spin-off for Jenna Torres' character, Jessica Pearson. Yes, I know.

It's great too. You've got to tune in to that show. She's amazing on it and who doesn't want more, you know, Jessica Pearson kicking ass on their TV screen?

Yeah. Do you know what? Because we've spoken to you now twice. We've spoken to everyone from Suits except for Patrick. Yeah.

Patrick Adams. We've nearly got the whole set. And this is the last season. We're going to have to Suits except for Patrick. Yeah. Patrick Adams. We've nearly got the whole set. And this is the last season. We're going to have to put in a request, I think. Put in a good word for us. I think you're going to have to get Patrick in person. You want to hang out with Patrick. You're going to want to spend an entire

day with him. So somebody fly him to New Zealand. Yeah, we had Gabriel in person and that was, I tell you what, we have never had more woman pushed up against the windows of our studio to get a little peek in than when we had Gabriel in person and that was, I tell you what, we have never had more women pushed up against the windows of our studio to get a little peek in than when we had Gabriel in. I can't imagine why. Me neither. I couldn't work it out. It was a mystery that remains unsolved

to this day. I think even more than when we had Justin Bieber here. There were more women pressed against the glass and it was... Well, a wider appeal. Yeah. Wider appeal, young and old. Well, he does have a face for radio, so. We won't tell him he said that. So after Suits, have you got a bit of downtime playing?

When you play a character for as long as you've played it, imagine you just need a bit of reset after that. Oh, gosh. You know, I think, I sort of feel like the reset will be jumping right back into playing somebody else. That's what I'm excited about. I mean, I'm a bit of a theater nerd, so the idea of just discovering another person to play is really appealing to me.

I do want to have a little bit of time to hang out with my kids. You know, they grew up on this show. When we were shooting the pilot, my oldest child turned three. Wow. And then she's now about to turn 12. And I had a baby between season one and two. And that child is seven and a half and was able to say to me the other day, I want to go to work with you, Mom.

You know, I don't know how much more I'm going to be able to walk around on set. I want to take some time walking that set alone with you. And that's exactly what we did. The lights weren't even on on all the sets. And she just went through and like checked out Lewis's cat and played with Donna's tea set

and tapped the keyboard in Harvey's office. And, you know, it was amazing. Sat in Donna's chair, sat in old Donna's cubicle. So, you know, this is a big part of their life.

So I'm, you know, it's going to be an interesting transition for them too. So I'll be putting that mom hat firmly back on. Oh, man, going to my mom's work after school was so boring. Your work sounds way more fun.

Maybe you didn't have a wardrobe department full of couture. No. Oh, God, amazing. That would have been. Well, we all could have turned out very different. Yeah, we have a problem now. Yeah, we have got an addiction Yeah We have a problem now Yeah we We've got an addiction

We have a problem With clothes yeah Yeah you've developed That problem yourself Well It's a hard habit to break We're really looking forward To the final season

So any Tedbits you can give us To finish up today Any Taste Um Tedbits You know

I'm pretty excited Because we're Heading back into Some of that early suits comedy. There's going to be a little bit of lightness and joy coming back. Of course, there's lots of conflict and, you know, the future of the firm is at stake. But within that, we get to have Donna and Lewis get to have fun. Donna and Harvey get to get back to some of their banter.

And I'm really excited, feeling nostalgic and really excited about that. And I hope the fans will love it. Wow. Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. Thank you. Have a great day. It's great to hear your voice. Am I a bad person? Okay. It's time to get your judgey pants on, New Zealand. I've had an email from someone who

needs to know if they are a bad person. This is interesting. Okay. There are names in here that have been made up, okay? Changed. They have been changed. I've got a coffee ready to sip while I judge. Hi guys. Am I a bad

person? For my birthday next year, I have organised a girls trip to Vegas. So the girls include myself, my sister, my two sisters-in-law, my two BFFs and my sister's BFF. So it's seven ladies. It's a lot of people.

Yeah, you don't have to remember all those people. Okay. Superfluous. The issue is my sister wants me to invite her sister-in-law, Jane. Jane's made up. You know, you can't, it's not her. Yeah, no. Okay, Karen.

Just running through the filter there. I am hesitant to invite her for a few reasons. One, Jane is always in between jobs, and when she does work, it's usually part-time. I'm worried that without a steady income, she'll find the monthly contributions a bit steep. Oh, so she's put it forward a payment plan. Yeah, so they're all putting into this kitay, which will be then used for flights, accommodation and everything. Okay, okay, that's good. So everyone's putting in the same amount.

That's good. Two, the main issue for me, however, is that Jane's an unpleasant person to be around. Oh, no, well, you don't invite her then. You're not a bad person. That's... Wait. It's her birthday.

She's about to explain why she finds her hard to be around. Okay. She's a vegan. She then says, okay, hear me out. I've only ever met Jane at functions and family gatherings and every time I've seen her,

she's always fussing and complaining about the lack of vegan options or how the hosts are not considerate enough to provide vegan friendly meals. No. Wait. No. The other time my parents

had a potluck lunch to celebrate my sister's graduation, Dad got a lamb for spit roast and the guest brought a plate to share. Jane brought a green salad and was so upset that no one else had thought to bring vegan friendly food. I mean, we've made up names, but this is a very specific story. Call me crazy, but if you're on a special diet, why not just bring the food you like to eat, not put the burden on everyone else. Yep.

I also brought roast veggies, but she wouldn't touch any of the food because she was too, Give me strength. Yeah. insisted I invite Jane and her kids so they came along. It was a pig-themed party with balloons, paper plates, cups, decorations, all went well. A couple of days after the party, Jane sent my sister a text telling her how the party was so wasteful and how all the balloons, paper plates, and cups and gift wrapping, etc.

would just end up in the already clogged landfills and again complained about how she left the party hungry because there was nothing for her to eat. Why does Jane want to go to Las Vegas? I don't know. Jane doesn't want to go to Las Vegas? I don't know. Jane doesn't want to go. Surely, Jane, she doesn't sound like she'd enjoy it at all.

What does she mean to the city? The world of wastefulness that is Las Vegas? Las Vegas is the epitome of human wastefulness on every level. She said, for the record, there was stuff there she could have eaten. In a nutshell, Jane is exhausting to be around. I do not wish to invite her on this Vegas trip. She would suck the joy right out of the entire experience. So am I a bad person for not wanting to invite her?

At my sister's request. You're not a bad person. You're not a bad person. No. And I don't want it to sound like it's an attack on vegans because I know some vegans and they will come to an event like a barbecue where there is meat being cooked and that they understand what they believe in

and how they want to live shouldn't be broadcast to everybody else. And they bring food suitable for themselves and don't expect the hosts to cater specifically for one person. It's like when I've been on diets and you end up going to a barbecue and you know there's probably going to be

potato salad and bread and things that you can't eat. So you take stuff so you know that you've got something to eat. Yeah, you don't need to drag the whole event down. Take your own salad in. Yeah. Like I feel like if they were out in Vegas, and I imagine it would be very hard to find vegan meals in Vegas.

Maybe vegetarian? Yeah. It would be very, like it's hard to even find a decent. It's a lot of buffers. Let me speak to it. Jane will hate Las Vegas. And buffers, so cross-contamination. She can't be sure that it hasn't been touching meat or animal products.

Don't invite her. Don't invite her. She won't go anyway. The thing is, she doesn't sound like she's someone that she likes to associate anyway. And if it's her trip, she gets the choice of invites. Yeah, it's her birthday. Yeah. Exactly.

Regardless of Jane's choice of diet or whatever, if she doesn't like it, you don't invite her. It's your birthday. It's not your sister's birthday. But her sister believes the good in Jane and is like, well, no, Jane's just like, you know, strong willed. No, but see, when you're travelling... Don't be mean to Jane. Jane's just like, you know, strong-willed. No, but see, when you're travelling... Don't be mean to Jane. Jane's a boy.

If you're travelling overseas with a group of friends, when it starts to get of a group bigger than two or three or four, you're going to have problems. Even if you all get on. I 100%, there are very few people I would travel with. Yeah. Very few. I would say anything above three, maybe four, you're going to have issues. Yeah. Very few. I would say anything above three, maybe four,

you're going to have issues. Yeah. People or couples? Or just like entities? Just people. Because then you're like, well, what are we having

for dinner tonight? And every time breakfast, lunch and dinner becomes this arduous decision over where we're eating and then chucking

into the fact that she doesn't want to eat anywhere. And like, even just activities in Vegas. Like, oh, what's Jane going to want to do? But we're quite tough. Jane doesn't sound like she'd go on the Stratosphere or the New York, New York roller coaster.

She doesn't sound like she'd walk around with a yard glass necklace on and drinking margaritas. But are we being too ruthless? No. Jane's part of that friend group. She's now being left out. Jane should find friends with more things in common. Like she should. Yeah.

That's fine. There's probably like a group of people who would happily like live with Jane. Like those people that scaled that Wellington building the other week. Greenpeace people. Yeah. But not even they were that miserable. But Jane's technically like extended family. She can't get away from it. No, see, I don't buy that miserable. But Jane's technically like extended family. She can't get away from that.

No, see, I don't buy that either. You're under no obligation to take your sister's in-laws as part of your family. No, it's your friend group. You're spreading the family too far. Keep it close. Keep your family, keep the group small. And if you need to use a lie, just say we've filled up the van, the minivan or the car rental.

So unless you want to rent an entire van or car yourself. Extra car, yeah. I like to think of when you have a group of friends, you've got to have like a survival pack. Everybody's got to bring a skill or a... Yeah. Well, what's yours when we travel? Because you're the most unorganised person.

I know, for survival. Like tinkering. I'll just give it a go. I'll tinker. What do I do for survival? Am I just the meat? It's the reason you're not coming, Megan. Oh, I know you're slow, so you're like...

The bears will get Megan first. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're the... That's why we go into the back country with you. Yeah. And why you let me linger behind. And we stay 10 metres ahead. Yeah.

It's also why we strap stakes to your backpack. And rub meat on you. I did what that was. Jane wouldn't lie to that either. No. Well, it's not only for us to judge because we're quite ruthless. Yeah, and also, this falls on the sister as well. I know the sister's even a bad person for always asking Jane to be included.

She shouldn't be like, I want to bring my sister. No. No, you don't get to bring, it's like when you have a party and you're like, and then someone's like, is it okay if I bring like three of my friends? It's like, well, no,

because this isn't your party. Yeah. I don't like people. Okay, 0800, maybe we are being a bit rough. I don't know. 0800DilesAtM, 9696,

is she a bad person? For not wanting to invite vegan Jane. Maybe you've been in this situation. Because I don't think it's an issue of the vegan thing. No, it's not. It's not an issue at all to me. She just sounds like a miserable bitch. She just sounds miserable.

0800DilesAtEm, is she a bad person? Give us a call. Am I a bad person? Okay, quick recap. We have someone whose birthday it is, taking seven ladies to Las Vegas for a girls' trip, but her sister wants her to invite her sister-in-law, Jane, who is a vegan. The sister wants this person to invite the sister's sister-in-law.

Like, it's not the party girl's sister-in-law. It's her sister's sister-in-law. Too far removed. She's very draining. Too far removed. She's very draining. She's vegan, but that doesn't seem to be the problem, really. She's a bad person.

She's very judgmental. Financially, she said she's always in between jobs and works minimally, so she won't have the money to make the monthly payments leading up to the Vegas trip. Can she just make it really expensive? Yeah, a lot of people are saying the sister's a bad person. Yes. For even suggesting this. And I agree. Yeah, I do of people are saying the sister's a bad person. Yes. For even suggesting this. And I agree.

Yeah, I do. I agree as well. The sister shouldn't continue forcing Jane on because it's even like, so there was a birthday party and Jane said to the sister, who's her sister-in-law, oh, that party was so wasteful. Everything was so wasteful. And then the sister told

the party girl. Yeah. So even the sister playing that role seems a bit bad. But also I feel she could surely tell her sister. It'd be harder to tell a friend to say don't, we're not inviting that person but your sister. I don't want her there, she's a punish. Yeah, just say to her. But then she keeps saying you're a bad

person, Jane's okay. Jane, well judging by the response Jane's not okay. No, Bex, what do you think? I don't think she's a bad person. I think if you don't personally want to text them and hang out with them, then you don't really need to invite them to stuff personally for you. 100% Bex, if she wouldn't have one-on-one hang time with this Jane character, why would she want to invite her on an overseas trip?

Well, exactly, and the overseas trip is for you. So why would you want to, like, if you don't message with them and hang out with them, then nah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good call. Good call. Thanks, Bex.

I do. Really? Okay. Again, the majority. Yeah. I wouldn't invite her at all. I'm a vegan. Okay. And I wouldn't invite her. all. I'm a vegan. Okay.

And I wouldn't invite her. Well, I was like, vegan civil war. Have you been to Las Vegas as a vegan, Carrie? No, I haven't. I haven't actually travelled overseas as a vegan. I've only obviously travelled New Zealand as a vegan. Okay, because I think it would be so hard to go to America, especially Vegas, for options.

Oh, you'd be surprised. They have apps and stuff now where you can just put in the place and they'll actually point out where all the vegan spots are. Oh, that's handy. It could actually be good if they did invite this plain Jane.

She could just go away on the app. No, but she wouldn't. She sounds like everything's got to be about her and dramatic. So as a vegan, Carrie, how do you feel about her turning up to parties and demanding food

be supplied for her? Well, it's ridiculous, really. I do the same. I go to parties and stuff, but I bring my own food and I supply heaps of food and people eat it and then they kind of ask you,

oh, what's in that? And you tell them what's in it and say there's no meat and blah, blah, blah and they love it, but I wouldn't show up and expect people to feed me, that's for sure.

Yeah, good call, Carrie. Just giving you a bad name. Yeah, hey, thanks for your it, but I wouldn't show up and expect people to feed me, that's for sure. Yeah, good call, Carrie. Just giving you a bad name. Yeah, hey, thanks for your call, Carrie. Some other text messages in. This sounds like a primary school teacher's message, Din, but it's always a great lesson, regardless of age. You don't let any bucket emptiers on your birthday trip, only bucket fillers.

Good. You fill someone's bucket. You don't try to empty it. Somebody else says, it feels like Jane's been forced on all of us now. It's like, we all have to take Jane places now. We've got our first person saying that the party girl's a bad person. She's a bad person.

But that doesn't mean Jane should be invited. The two facts are mutually exclusive. I don't think she's the only person that said she's a bad person. Because this is specifically what she asked about. It's her birthday trip. I mean, this isn't a weekend to the Coromandel with your friends in an Airbnb for a night. This is a

multi-week... I wouldn't even take Jane to the Coromandel. No, neither. This is a once in a lifetime trip. Yeah, exactly. And you don't want Jane there bitching and moaning about every single aspect. She's not in your immediate friend group either. God, this has got me so riled up.

Just get rid of Jane. It's actually got quite a few people riled up. Yeah, very riled up. Yeah, everybody's just saying, I don't even know Jane. Someone said, I know a Jane and I'm angry at her and it's not even her. So that's another thing. That was made up, eh? The name Jane was a made up name. That's the other thing.

Now we're angry at all the Janes and there wasn't even any of them. Don't hate on the Janes. Well, yeah. But whoever this mystery woman is. She's, yeah, she's going on the trip. Can you email back the person that emailed in for Am I a Bad Person?

And just, we need a follow up. I feel like we're going to need to follow this up. Okay. She's going to need to break the news because the nation has overwhelmingly. But the sister needs to break the news. Well, she never said she should be on the list. It's not her party.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't think she, Jane hasn't been invited. She was suggesting it. So we don't even have to uninvite Jane. She just doesn't need to ever hear about it. Okay, good. Somebody said they're a vegan and Vegas is actually great for vegans.

Is it? Don't bloody tell me. Don't tell me. Don't bloody tell me. Which side are you on? They said mostly because you can't spell vegans without Vegas. Which is very true. You just chuck an N in the mix and you've actually got vegans. So you've got 20 questions, New Zealand, to figure out this mystery object.

We made it harder after our first 20 questions object, the toothbrush. That was a toothbrush. That went after like five yes, no questions. Yeah. And I don't feel like we've had the question that's really like narrowed it down yet. Yeah. You know, you need that one question to like back it into a corner. Yeah.

Like, is he wearing glasses? Yeah. On a game of Guess Who. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Is that Bob? Yes, it is. But imagine playing Guess Who with every single possible object in the world. Yeah.

And then slowly flicking down. That's exactly what we're doing. It'll be a bloody nightmare. All right. So, are we going to run through? Quick run through? Yeah, quick run through. It's not a bloody nightmare. All right. So we've had a lot. Are we going to run through? Quick run through? Yeah, quick run through.

It's not a living thing. It's not found in a house. It's not a power tool. It does not have a motor. It is not something you would wear. It is outside. Maybe. Oh, yeah.

What was that one that we had an argument about? The next one. It is outside. It is outside. It is outside or around your house. Maybe sometimes we said could be, yeah. Would you use it on your house? No, you would not use it on your house. It is not bright orange.

It cannot be made out of wood. You could hang something on it. It's not found in your car. It's not sports equipment. And it is not found outside most Kiwi households. All right. Six questions left. Paola, good morning.

Good morning. All right, we need from you a yes, no question. Okay. Is it high up? Is it, like, quite tall? Wait a minute, what's your question? Is it high up? That, uh, you might... Because you asked two questions and they were quite different.

Okay, can it be found high up somewhere? Oh. Um... I... Do we need her to rephrase that well why don't we go we're gonna go to the car okay i'm putting her on hold uh wait there Hang on, New Zealand. Okay, we're back, we're back. Christ, Megan, what did you think we were doing this whole time? No, I did think it was close to that. Oh, my God.

What did we, I don't know what we're saying to this question. Pola, okay, we've had a lot of deliberation. Because we don't want to say something wrong. We don't want to throw you off. No. Okay, okay. So just to repeat, what was your question? Is it high up?

Did I rephrase it? See, I think I would prefer you to rephrase it. Because the way you've asked it for what we're talking about. It's eerie fairy. It's bloody eerie fairy. All right, rephrase it. Is it found? Like, will you have to look up to see it?

You know? Now you're just getting another question. This is not what we want. Yeah, but we didn't give the last one an answer. No, we didn't. We didn't say yes nor nay. Would you have to look up to see it? Is that your question?

Yeah. I'm quite short, so maybe that's why it's a bit... Yeah. Because you could look straight ahead and see it. So the answer is... No, no. The answer is you don't have to look up to see it. Okay, okay.

I have a guess. But I feel like our deliberation here is giving people a bad clue. Oh, sorry. Okay, no, don't be sorry. Don't be sorry, you've done well. This is how difficult this game can get. Okay.

Okay. We need from you a guess. Is it a street light? No. What? What? No. Okay.

It is not a street light. Thank you for playing. Someone, when we go into the song, is going to get a telling off. And it's not usually who gets a telling off when we go into a song. Why am I getting a telling off? I'm allowed to be excited. I didn't say it was you. Turn your microphone off.

Well, we've got another guest, don't we? Oh, do we? Yeah. Five questions left. Good morning, Natasha. Oh, good morning. Good morning. All right.

$2,000 is up for grabs. Five questions remaining. We need from you a yes, no question. Okay. Can it be attached to a vehicle? No. It cannot be attached to a vehicle. It's very specific.

Okay, now you get your guess at what it could be what do you think um well i thought it could have been a trailer so that's obviously a no uh is it a pot a pot and like a pot plant but not plant but the pot okay are you just looking around the room? The answer. I thought it was a trailer. The answer to is it a pot is. No. No, it is not a pot.

No, it's not. Never mind. All right. Thanks, Natasha. Tomorrow morning, 7 a.m., 8 a.m. More guesses. All right, go into the song so someone can get a bloody tell-all. Yeah, I'm not getting told off. Oh, you're getting told off, all right. I might even smack you.

Chain smokers in Halsey. Don't tell me off. You get over here, you're right. Send your friends home. Tell them they've got to go home. I'm leaving the mics on all songs so you can't tell me off. You get over here, you're sorry. Send your friends home. Tell them I've got to go home. I'm leaving the mics on all songs so you can't tell me off. Come out here.

Come out here. No. I said get out there. I'm not moving. I will move you. You can't tell me off in front of my friends. Yeah, I'm sending them

by turning the microphones off. Come here. No, don't tell them. I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to

Chain Smokers, Halsey, I got told off during that song. You bloody did. You gonna do that again? Tomorrow when we play 20 questions, I won't say anything. Good.

It's for the best. Yes. Thank you. There are also an argument in studio about Vaughn's wife's upcoming birthday. No, it's bloody ages away. It's ages away. It's in February. It's ages away.

But you said it's a birthday present. No,'s ages away but you said it's a birthday present no vaughn she said it was a birthday present and so i was like well i can get on board with that present really annoying me this really is annoying me so in the ongoing old mcdonald farm that we've got going on goats sheep you're getting chickens, yeah The chicken coop I put some I think my dad's Going to be proud of me again I dug a hole for a post And put a post in And then put

He said that It wouldn't need Quick set concrete But I was scared The post was going to fall over So I put some concrete In the model How big are these posts

You're putting in for the chicken You're not building A prisoner of war camp Well I went and bought them The other day And the guy said to me What are you building? He had built in like a big fence.

I was like, oh, it's a chicken coop. He's like, what kind of chickens are there? And he's like, you're going like well overboard. You're buying fence posts, like proper horse fencing fence posts. Yeah, I do get carried away. I do get carried away. I can get that. Could literally just put like a bit of 4B, a long bit of 4B2

in the hole and concrete that in. Could have done that. Yep. And it's two and a half metres above the ground and another metre and a bit below the ground.

There's some long posts because somebody said chickens can fly over. No, you clip their wings. How much do these posts cost each? No, they weren't too bad actually.

I think they were like What's too bad? They were like $25 each. How many did you buy? Five. Is that how much a post is? Yeah, for a bigger post.

Well, this isn't like a strain of posts. This is just a post. Like a big round post. Like a big round post. It looks like a tree but without branches. Yeah, one of those.

It's $125 on posts. I know, but I would have thought Yes, Megan, how much do eggs cost? It's called an investment. And then you get the chickens and then they lay the eggs and before you know it, you've saved $125. I can't believe, because I don't know how much posts cost,

and wood and stuff. That's cool. I thought it would have been $100 for a post. No. Like if you get a real big one. If you get a real big one. Oh, okay. I didn't get any big.

There were smaller ones. I've got a medium post. A medium. It's like you want to upsize your combo. Yeah, did they give you the 50 cent upgrade? Did you get a toy? Sorry, I had to buy some nails as well, but because I don't claim to know,

I'll give it a go, but I don't know much. Well, I bought the, because I saw the shiny nails, so I'm like, oh, those are nice, because they're shiny. And a lady said, are these for outside? I said, yes. And she's like, nah, mate, you want gal.

Yeah, you want galvanized, because they're rusted. Yeah, she's like, these won't last five seconds. I know these ones. But I didn't know that these ones, like I know you go for galvanized, but I thought these ones were just shiny, so they looked pretty, but apparently they're rusted. Yeah, she's like, these won't last five seconds. I know these ones. But I didn't know that these ones, like, I know you go for galvanised, but I thought these ones were just shiny, so they looked pretty, but apparently they're for inside.

God, you're a worry. An absolute. So what is your wife getting for her birthday? Well, so to get back to it, the chickens are being added, and we're also in the process of acquiring some miniature Highland cattle. I've seen photos. that look so cute. I'm coming around to pat them. They're real cute.

Whose idea was this initially? Sade, we were at a local, like, A&P show at the QMU, and there was a lady there with a store for regular-sized Highland cattle. Right. And they are real cute, and they can get really big horns, and they're big, and they're, like, orange, and they look real funny. They've got shaggy hair. Yeah, they're real cute. And S get really big horns and they're big and they're like orange and they look real funny. They've got shaggy hair. Yeah, they're real cute and Sade's like, oh my god, I love them

and the lady's like, well, we've got calves, we've got impregnant ones, we've got ones that are ready for the freezer and Sade was like, what did you say? She freaked out. She only thinks ugly cows should be eaten. And these are too cute.

And I said, we don't have enough room. Because if you're going to get cows, you've got to get a couple because they get lonely. Oh, I didn't know this. Because they're a herd creature. Any herd creature, you've got to have at least a couple so they don't get lonely. So I said, we don't have the room for two big ones. And I said, I know they make small ones, so we'll kind of keep an eye out. And then we've been keeping an eye out and we've tracked down some mini-its here.

Right. I ring an old mate like every day. He's like, here you go. So you just send photos, but I'm not much cop on the old phone. I'll do my best. So Megan has an issue with this because she said this can be her early birthday present. Well, Sade said if we get them, it can be my Christmas and my birthday. Because two.

Yeah, good, because they're expensive, aren't they? Yeah, because I was just willing to, I just wanted to double down on goats and get more goats, but she wanted these. She won't have anything to do with them once we get them. No, but you're not against them. You are totally on board with this idea. Yeah, so I said that's your birthday and Christmas,

like arranged, done, perfect, gift ticked off. And this just came up before as part of the conversation about them. That's a mutual acquisition for your household. We've spoken about this before. You can't attribute that to a birthday present. Okay, Christmas maybe. Also, her birthday's in February. That's ages away.

She agreed to it, Megan. It's signed off. Also, she got to spend all the flyby points on one of those new Dysons. I didn't get to spend any of the flyby points. So that vacuum's going on her Christmas present too. Actually, we've got an anniversary in November. The vacuum cleaner can be the anniversary present. Those were mutually acquired flyby points.

Last time I had a go at you talking about vacuuming, someone had a go at me for, yeah. So vacuum, anniversary, tick, done. One cow, me, for, yeah. So, vacuum, anniversary, tick, done. One cow, Christmas, tick, done. Second cow, birthday, tick, done. Oh, my God. How sad is that? I'm good for a year.

But that sounds real sad. Like, what did you get for Christmas? A cow. And a vacuum cleaner. Which you will also use. It's a household acquisition. I'm not allowed to use the vacuum cleaner. Yeah, but that's for the household.

You can't, like, give that to her as a present. She was, like, fizzing about it. Like, she's not even a Dyson influencer, and she was fizzing about the Dyson. Right. Okay. And fizzing. So when you're getting these miniature cows,

can I come around? Do you put a saddle on them? Because I want to sing Old Town Road and ride them. That would be so funny and real cute for Instagram. You wouldn't even need a saddle. They're so small you could like stand over top of them

and hold their little horns as a steering wheel but no weight on their back. They're not meant to be. Absolutely. Yeah. They're not meant to be like you know

you don't put weight on them. He's calling you fat. He's calling me fat isn't he? Oh no. Like any amount of weight. But Brilliant Oh no Like any amount of weight But you are fat But Any amount of weight

Like even if you were skinny Yeah right Like you've got quite a Like a husky frame So even if you weren't as fat So I'm not allowed to ride the cows Great Brilliant

No one's allowed to ride the cows Well I'm done trying to help you With your relationship You just give that to her as a present Go on mate I'm just testing the waters on these things. See how it goes. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's Megan, not much effort from you there in the FOTDs. Oh, sorry. I was just replying to someone who called me proper high maintenance. I'm a text machine. I mean, not what? Terribly wrong. Um, excuse me.

Also, someone said you've done bloody well this morning not to bang their heads together. I'm also replying to them. You said like that. That's evened out then, Megan. It's yin and yang. You don't worry about it. You're back where you were before this all started. Somebody said something nice. Somebody said something mean. It's balanced. It's the power of the force.

Today's fact of the day actually deals with my latest idea of how to dispose of my body when I leave this earthly realm. Okay. Because, you know, I've had a few ideas. The Viking pyre was absolutely my favourite idea. Yeah, but you can, I've had a few ideas. The Viking fire was absolutely my favourite idea. Yeah, but you can't, we told you,

we can't just take you to Takapuna Beach and set a raft on fire. Because you will come back into the shore when everyone's at the beach. I'll leave for Mission Bay. Well, I'm not fussy about what beach I live in. It's got as many kids. Push me into the path of a container ship or the fullest ferry that takes them over to Waihi. We'll tie you me into the path of a container ship or the fullest ferry that takes them over to Hawaii.

We'll tie you onto the back of a container ship. It's a good idea because then I'll be out in international waters by the time it all falls off and my half-charred, soggy body enters the water. You also had that idea of having a funeral where you spring up with a mechanism mid-funeral. Yes, there was that one. That's not on.

The other one I wanted to do would be cremated and put on one of those pods with the tree, the plant in it. Yeah, that's what I want. So then I grow. Oh, I thought you meant like a Nespresso pod. But then what if the... It's like multiple Nespresso pods, have a Vornicino, stay a day, all right? What if the tree dies?

It's like... Yeah, it's like... Absolutely no sustenance there. Well, this is my latest idea. Okay. But it's going to require a trip to Hawaii. Oh, okay. Because in Hawaii, for the small fee of $25 US,

you can throw your loved one's ashes into a live volcano. Yes! Good idea! I know. So the scattering of cremated human remains in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is fully legit. All you need to do is pay a non-refundable $25 application fee for a permit. There's a PDF you can download.

Just cutting out the middleman here, because why not just dump the body over with a wheelbarrow? Because you save on the cremation. You're talking pre-cremation. Yeah. The body. Yes. Save on that fee.

Put her in a wheelchair and be like, we're tying grandma up. She's got grandad's ashes. Just put her lolly jar in her dead arms. Yeah. Wheel her up. Wheelchair and all. Yeah. Lava's hot enough to melt a wheelchair.

Yeah. You'll be like, is she okay? She looks unwell. You'll be like, is she okay? She looks unwell. You'll be like, excuse me? That's my grandma. She just lost her husband. And she put him

in a lolly jar. Please be quiet. We sure hear you. So yeah, you pay the $25 fee. There are some rules. Okay. Scattering is not permitted

at the car park or at the visitor centre. It's what Grandad would have wanted. He loved car parks. He hated a walk. He wouldn't have wanted us to walk. Just don't even stop. Only the car parks.

Alright, we're here. So when you get to a car from the beach and you shake your towel just before you put it in the car, just pull up, shake it out, blow out the lolly jar. Apparently there are real problems even here in New Zealand with ashes being sprinkled in places, in parks and stuff. It's a real issue. Yeah.

Another rule, scattering must take place in a manner and in such a location that ash will not be located or identified as human remains. Okay. I wouldn't know what that looks like. So I just think it was a charcoal barbecue. Okay. I wouldn't know what that looks like. So I just think it was a charcoal barbecue left over. That's kind of what it looks like. Oh, okay, fine. The bit that comes out the bottom of the charcoal.

When you clean out the bottom of the Weber and the ash trick catcher. You've always got to check the wind direction too. You don't want to end up with granddad in your mouth. That happened to Sade at the beach when they were spreading her grandparents. They spread grandma, fine. They were spreading granddad. They called grandma, fine. They were spreading granddad. They called him Toddy, miserable old bastard. And the wind changed and he blew up in all of their faces.

He loved it. That's how he would have wanted it. Classic Toddy. That's how he would have wanted it. Also, another rule is you're not allowed to use drones to dump your loved one's ashes. You can't take a drone out, hover it over the centre of the volcano and release the ashes.

That'd be a good way to do it. Yeah, it would be, about drones are the issue there. No memorials, parks, photos or flowers. Like you can't erect a little shrine on the side of the volcano. Yeah. You have to do it in a discreet and private manner. Established entrance fees are required and the permit doesn't waive those fees. So you still might have to pay $5 at the visitor centre to enter.

You must obey the instructions of the National Park Service, all local, state and federal laws and regulations that will be followed, and you'll be kicked out and your permit will be revoked if you break any of the above rules. Right. So that's me now. That's what I want to be. That sounds all pretty straightforward.

Into the volcano. Behave yourself. Yeah, behave yourself and get it all into the... I know, but are you going to leave us like flight? Yeah, you better pay for flights.

I'm not... We're not... Money to pay for the flights. It's a long way to go. Although if we got one of those seat-only fares to Honolulu... I definitely need a bag.

No, I'm just saying why I could just put it... Put me in the overhead. Put you in the overhead. Serious question. When you... Is it quite a rigmarole to internationally

transport ashes? Nah, I don't think so. Because you've never overhead. Serious question. Is it quite a rigmarole to internationally transport ashes? Nah, I don't think so. Because you never see it on the box to tick on the way back in that you're carrying human remains or anything. Oh, nah. They're like, is this cocaine? No, it's just Vaughan. Yeah, it's Vaughan. He really went up. Really just

burnt at a heat. Really flammable. Yeah. Just looking at the conditions in the park at the moment, there is quite a bit of volcanic activity, so probably a good time of the year, actually. Okay, great. So today's fact of the day is for $25 US, you can have your remains put into a live volcano.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day- Actually, Sade, your wife put this up. I'm familiar with her, yeah. I know her. She put a beautiful picture up of Indy riding a horse. Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt, yeah, sorry. Thunderbolt. At what looks like Pony Club. And there's a rainbow, like a perfect, beautiful rainbow above Indy.

Beautiful. And I was like, that is such a nice photo. So I loved it. And then I went to write awesome picture. And as I was typing it, I looked at the other comments and I was like, shut up, Katy Perry. What? Katy Perry said, wow, what a shot.

And then when I looked at Katy Perry's profile, it's not the Katy Perry we know. No, that's Fiona Katy Perry. Katy Perry. Yeah, Indy at her old school had a really good friend called Chloe Perry. And I said to Indy as a joke one day, is her mum Katie Perry? And she's like, how did you know that? And I was like, what?

And then we found out that Chloe's mum's name is Katie Perry. Not even I-E, like K-A-T-Y. K-A-T-Y, Katie Perry. Wow. Katie Perry. Have you talked to her about this? I figure that somebody else will. I haven't covered that with Katy.

I don't know how to bring this up. Yeah. I know. I'll stop you right there. Yeah, I know. I know. Yep, I'm familiar with. Yep, that year where she had like six number one hits.

That was a year. Yeah, yeah. That was a year. I heard about it a couple of times that year where she had like six number one hits That was a year Yeah, yeah That was a year I heard about it a couple of times that year At Guy Fawkes when she gets the fireworks out of it That's fun times Or like sees a plastic bag Yeah

Leave me alone We could have had her on the phone When we talked to the Katy Perry the other week How great would that have been? Hey, Katy Perry Two Katy Perrys Yeah, this is Katy Perry. She could have been like,

hey. And then what? I don't know. Maybe they could have bonded about their name. And then that Katy Perry singer would have said, I bet you get this a bit.

Yeah. And then Katy Perry would have been like, you have no idea. And then that would have been. Yeah. But it still would have been a great listen.

God, where was that idea last week? Why would I bother her? Yeah, Katy Perry's not even Katy Perry's real name. No, it's like Catherine Hudson. This is the actual Katy Perry. Oh, yeah, right. She was first. But yeah, I was looking at that and I thought,

Katy Perry, it's not actually that crazy a name. No, it's not. This definitely happens to lots of people where you share a name with a celebrity and God, it must drive you nuts. Well, it's not. This definitely happens to lots of people where you share a name with a celebrity and God, it must drive you nuts. Well, my dad's Ian Smith

and when I was growing up, Ian Smith played cricket. Yeah, he still commentates rugby and cricket. Yeah. If you've only seen Ian Smith commentator, it would be quite hard

to picture him playing cricket, but he did. He was a pretty bloody good wicketkeeper too. He was, yeah. And my uncle's name was Paul Holmes.

Oh, crazy. Like Holmesy. Yeah, right. And my uncle's name was Paul Holmes. Oh, crazy. Oh, like Holmesy. Yeah, right. Yeah, like legendary broadcaster Paul Holmes. Is it upsetting? Because usually if the person's well-known, they're really good at something, and then you're not. Or, you know, you're not famous.

Well, you'd imagine the name Michael Jordan wouldn't be a rare name because Jordan's a popular last name and people were always calling their kids Michael from the 1950s through the 90s. Oh you got a basketball? That was all back then. Yeah.

Yeah. Or if they had a number and it wasn't 23 they'd be like Michael you're 23. It would actually be so annoying having the same name

as a high end celebrity high profile celebrity. Yeah but I would like to hear the stories. If you share a name or if you know someone who she, she's the name of the famous C-Lab. What do they hate? What do they always get? Somebody messaged in, their name is Joseph Rogan.

Joe Rogan. They said they never introduced themselves as Joe and they hope most people don't immediately think, I'll shorten that to Joe, make the Joe Rogan. Yeah, right. Fair is not effective for you. No, well even now he's become more

outspoken in his podcast isn't he? And so he's got a bit like Weird. Yeah. People love him or hate him don't they? Yeah, they really do.

Polarising. Yes. Okay, well let's take your calls 0800 DALES AT M 9696 Who do you know that shares a name with a celebrity? Maybe you've got

Maybe it's you. Maybe it's you. Maybe you've got a friend that has the same name with a celebrity? Maybe you've got... Maybe it's you. Maybe it's you. Maybe you've got a friend that has the same name as a celebrity. Talking about your famous friends, Vaughan's wife has a friend called Katy Perry. They're not famous. They've just shared a name with famous people. Oh, that's what I mean.

Yeah. Your friends are famous people's names. Yeah. Wow. There are some hilarious messages coming through. My last name is Beckham. Thankfully, none in our family's name is David or Victoria or any of the same as their kids,

because even you just say Beckham at soccer. Oh. No, don't play soccer if your last name's Beckham. They all love playing soccer. And when they get their shirts printed with their names on the back, it says Beckham and everyone's like, it's best to put your name on there. And it's like, that's my name.

And then they're like, why aren't you good at football? Yeah, a lot of pressure. There'd be a lot of supposed to put your name on there. And it's like, that's my name. And then they're like, Warren, you've got a football. Yeah, a lot of pressure. There'd be a lot of pressure to live up to that name. A lot of pressure. There would be. Michelle, this is your fiancé.

My fiancé's name is Cat Stevens. Oh, okay. Does she love that or hate it? I think she loves it. I don't actually, I don't know. In recent times, he's changed his name, hasn't he? Kat Stevens, yeah.

Yeah. Yusuf something. To Yusuf Islam. Yusuf Islam. Your fiancé's not thinking of following suit? I hope not. Because it's great when I go out and, you know, I get pulled over and whatever,

and they're like, who's the over and whatever, and they're like, who's the car registered to? And I'm like, Cat Stevens. And they look at me like I've lost the plot. You're just making up names. Yeah, well, hey, Michelle, thanks for your call. Awesome. Some text messages.

In the 90s, our friend Julia Roberts used to get teased quite a bit. The person that teased her most was our other friend Ricky Martin. Well, we got our own back on Ricky Martin in the late 1990s and someone that laughed thinking they got away with it entirely

was our other friend Sam Smith. Oh, wow. Look at that. That's hilarious. I went to school with a kid whose real first

and last name was Ronan Keating. That was their name, Ronan Keating. What are the chances? I mean, Irish is quite popular. Irish, yeah. My dad's name's Murray Hewitt,

the same as Rhys Darby's character of Flight of the Conchords. Yeah. And one of his mates' name's Barry White because of the singer. Yeah. But old mates don't tend to know who Murray Hewitt is as much as they know who Barry White is.

No. Another, Ricky Martin. I've got a mate called Ricky Martin. That's his full legal name. He's in his mid-40s. It's a real good joke at the pub. I bet he's not sick of that at all. Down reads.

A few Michael Jackson reports. My mum worked at a toy shop in the 1990s. The owner's name was Michael Jackson. Somebody else said my primary school headmaster's name was Michael Jackson. Controversial. I'd like to go by Mike. Yeah, right. You would, yeah.
