13 people. What? Anya was yawning. She was just yawning. Yikes. 13 people. What? Anya was yawning. She was just yawning. No, no, no. I know. She said, love, you're wearing, this is completely lost on the radio,

but you're wearing a lavender today. I am. Lavender knit. No, I said it. I think it's her colour. Thanks, guys. You make me feel real good about myself on a Monday morning. Well, no, don't thank them,

because technically they didn't give you a compliment Yeah I just Simply made the observation That you were wearing lavender I thought maybe that was why You were yawning Is because you know Lavender's one of those

Well it's one of two things It's a relaxing pillow scent Isn't it Or it smells like the glade You spray around And you've just taken A horrendous dump Yeah

Or she's just wearing The colour, Vaughan. Oh, no, I know, but you know the colour kicks up the senses into overdrive. It isn't like I look at the lavender and I can smell a huge dump. Thanks, Vaughan. I don't think she's going to smell a good night's sleep at the Ibis in Wellington. This is a rollercoaster of compliments

and it's up. Thank you. It is. I don't think she's going to wear that top now. It'll be like my Jetstar dress. They don't wear that anymore. It's gone. Teasing keeps you grounded. If it's coming from someone that loves you.

That's why Bourne wears the same thing, so there's no opportunity for anyone to get one back. Exactly. There's nothing. But you didn't want people accidentally going up to you wanting to check into a flight, you know, to Wellington or Queenstown. Or having a go at you about the time they paid $1 for a flight and it was an hour late. Like, that was your fault.

It didn't. Not theirs, just spending $1 on a flight. I actually like the Jetstar jacket. Oh, you did? Well, it's gone. It's burnt. Did you burn it? Did you get rid of it?

I threw it out. I should think of it. I'd be the same, though. It'd only take one person to say something about a couple of clothes. That's it. See you later. I'm burning it. All right, you lot.

Listen up. It's story time. All right, you lot. All right, you lot. Three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, pick one of the following three. Headline one, 69-year-old's GoPro vacation. Headline two, beer delivery driver saves the day.

And headline three, Tinkerbell marched off flight. Wait, so, okay. Turn your mic on, mate. Professional as always. So Tinkerbell marched off flight. Wait, so, okay. Turn your mic on, mate. Professional as always. So Tinkerbell marched off flight. There was a Tinkerbell story last week about someone not getting a job because of their Tinkerbell tattoo. Is that it? Or is this another aviation

based Tinkerbell story? It is. The woman who couldn't get a job on Air New Zealand because she had a tattoo on her neck. The Tinkerbell was popping out of her back. The wings came up out of her back. Yeah. Which is ridiculous. That was ridiculous, right?

What, that she didn't get the job or she had that tattoo? Yeah, I mean, fair enough if it's the top of a swastika, but it's Tinkerbell. Calm down. But see, the top of a swastika tattoo would look a lot like

the top of a Windows 95 tattoo. It's true. It's true. Who's getting one of those? Or a Tetris tattoo. It was a great operating system, Megan. I think everyone should get Windows 95 tattoos. It was revolutionary. It was a great operating system, Megan. I think everyone should get Windows 95 tattoos. It was revolutionary.

It was a game changer. Big step up from 3.2. So different, think about it. A different, okay. Marched off like different story. I know the GoPro story. That's a guy that literally walked around with his GoPro facing the wrong way as whole holiday, so he vented his face.

Oh, no. He vented his face's reaction to things rather than the things. Which is crazy because there's only really one side of the GoPro that you'd think would be the pointy camera bit, eh? Yeah. Although it's got a display, so maybe that's what's wrong. Maybe it was an old GoPro, though. Oh, yeah, true.

Without a display. Even still. That's so sad. Although there is nothing old mates love better than buying top-end technology with no idea on how to work it and not reading the instructions. Just wanting it to turn on when they say, turn on and start recording. Okay, so Tinkerbell or beer delivery driver? Beer delivery driver.

Happy with that one, Megan? Do you get a say in this? You're just, whatever. Oh, Tinkerbell. Because I knew someone that did beer delivery once, and every now and then something could fall off the bar. And you'd be like, well, I just, I threw it in the bin. Have some beers for the weekend.

Yeah. Well, I broke three of the bottles. Yeah, let's do that one. Jason Gable, he is a beer delivery driver. This story from the Washington Post. Okay. He had just finished dropping off a shipment of beer at a sports bar when he decided to take a different route to his next drop-off

over a bridge that went over a motorway. That's when he saw a man whose name is Kwame Anderson standing on the bridge over Interstate 94. This is in Minnesota, this happened. Okay. On Wednesday morning. And he was like, well, that happened. Okay. On Wednesday morning. And he was like, well, that's not good.

So somebody's standing. Yeah, well, obviously. Looking to end it. End it all. So he pulled over his car and he said, bro, are you all right? And that's when the guy said no. He wanted to take his life, which is horrible. So the driver of the beer delivery truck called 911, and apparently police took a while to get there,

so he started talking to him. And, you know, he said, look, do you need anything? Do you need some food? And that's when the guy said, well, no, I'm not hungry. I don't want anything like that. He said, well, do you need any money? Like, can I help? The man said he didn't need any money.

And so he was just like, well, do you just want to have a drink with me? And the man paused and he said, a beer? And he's like, yeah, I've got heaps in the back. And he said, well, I'll give you a 12-pack if you step over the railing. Right. Step back from that ledge, my friend. And he did. And he got a 12-pack of Coors Light out the back of the truck.

Oh, no Coors Light. And, yeah, by that time, police had turned up, and, yeah, just ended up having a chat with this man. And emergency responders placed him in the back of an ambulance, took him to the hospital. That's really legendary. Yeah, it is. Because I always like to think I'd stop and see if someone was all right,

but I'm bad in high-pressure situations. Like, what if you said the wrong thing and then they just jumped? I know. Or just you even approaching them, pushed them. I know. I'd freak out. I mean. I saw someone on an overbridge once,

but there was lots of people there and there was police there. But I was like, do I drive under? It was like. Oh, right, you were going under it. Yeah. there was police there, but I was like, do I drive under? It was like... Oh, right, you were going under it and they were above it. It was like so... It was terrifying and no one knew what to do. It was like the time I was driving home and I saw I was going over the overbridge and I saw

someone dangling their legs over it and it was a motor where they shouldn't have even been. There was no pedestrian access on the bridge. They were dangling their legs over it. And they had like a little backpack beside it and I was like, There was no pedestrian access on the bridge. They were dangling their legs over it. They had a little backpack beside it. I was like, what is that? Like a confused backpacker?

Yeah, right. So I called the communications people, the Star Triple Five. They were like, what's happening? I was like, somebody's sitting. Well, they shouldn't be sitting on that once I described it. I was like, that's why I've called. That's so Kiwi. I wasn't just calling for a chat.

I was ringing because I believed this could be an issue. Oh, right. So, and then another thing in New Zealand, the communication service has done more than once. So what do you reckon we should do? Well, I don't know. You're the bloody expert. I'm just telling you. Call them back on to me.

Get someone out there as soon as possible. I don't know. My favourite part of the story, not just the lovely warm fuzzies that this guy helped another man stopping the suicide, but the fact that he said that he drew on her experience

watching the Denzel Washington movie where he played a New York police department negotiator. The negotiator? Yeah. So that he could use his negotiating skills. That's what he said.

Inside Man? Is that? Oh, the Inside Washington? No, that's. I thought that was that Russell Crowe.

Yeah, I thought, oh well. But that was about the cigarette industry, wasn't it? No, Inside Man's

Denzel Washington. Right, okay. Well, yeah, he drew on response from that movie. Drew on experience

from that movie rather. Yeah. Well, that's good. Happy outcome. Well, that's good. Happy outcome. Use some real life skills. The Ports of Auckland hired more women and they have done a report that says if you hire more women, men work harder.

Really? To impress the woman? For them. So, yeah, could it be they're trying to impress the women or could it be that the women are showing them up? I was going to say they wouldn't want, I'm thinking about old mates that work at the port. I'm just completely stereotyping from movies

what kind of people work at ports. Yeah. But imagine like old mates. I'm thinking The Wire season two, that's my point. Yeah. They're just like, I can't have a bloody Sheila showing me up, better work harder.

Yeah. So I think, well, this is not what I, this is a quote, okay? Okay. So they've said the bulk of the workforce were white middle-aged males of an English Union background, and that includes the management roles. They called it the entitlement culture. They would want plenty of money, even if there was no work to do. So they wanted, they were like pretty

lacklustre in their work and were wanting more pay for it. But now since they've introduced more females into the workplace apparently they are working harder. You don't want women showing you up. That's brilliant. Especially if like they're gonna

work hard and get the promotions. That's gonna hit the, isn't it? And also just like this is just putting my personal experience towards it. And again, no way reflecting on it because I don't know. I've never worked at the ports. Yeah. But if my wife and I were working at the ports, moving around the containers, she'd have a pretty solid like flow.

Like she'd know those are there those are there whereas i would just be trying to drive the fatherless in that cool big thing just because i like hanging around man where's that red container i'd get sidetracked by starting to look through some of the containers yeah i'd go for me fine i'd go for a snoop this is for me this is for them. Yeah. Because that's what you're allowed to do, right? Yeah.

I think so. So apparently there was like bonuses available, like if you worked hard and all that, and the women were getting all the bonuses. Brilliant. Right. I don't know. Are we just naturally more productive?

I'm not sure. I don't think that would apply for everyone, but I guess they went in there and they were like, oh, these guys are fluffing around. Let's get it done. This is why we work so hard, isn't it? Because half of our team, female. Yeah.

Keeps us working. Keeps us working. Keeps us working. I just get better at looking like I'm working without actually doing anything. Yeah. And you believe that you've fooled us. It's the secret to being a white male.

We're doing all right so so far lads hold tight Sky Scanner is a website you can book airfares on they have released the ideal time when you should be booking airfares how many weeks out oh go on and if it is for Christmas they are saying you should be booking

ideally now between the 20th and 27th of August because they say For Christmas, they are saying you should be booking, ideally, now, between the 20th and 27th of August. Because they say you can save about 30% on airfares, booking between 17 and 18 weeks before you fly. 17 to 18 weeks. But that, like, to me, Christmas is kind of a different, it's all over the show, Christmas, isn't it? Different ballgame. Like, as soon as you hit you hit like mid-December,

airlines know that that's when everyone's on holiday and so prices are always like at a premium, aren't they? Yeah. But then do they get at more of a premium? Well, the closer you get, definitely, yeah. So apparently SkySagina says that the 21st of December is one of the most expensive days of the year to travel. And it's one of the most common dates people choose because I guess it gives you a couple of days.

Yeah, and I believe this year Christmas is on a Tuesday. So the 21st might be a Friday. So that'll be the day when everyone's like, well, I'll leave work. I won't bother coming in on the Monday. And I'll just be done. I'll just be done with them. You'll be done. Have an extra long kind of weekend and break.

Right. So, yeah, it's just obviously now is kind of that window. And the longer you leave it, the more it's going to be. Just completely randomly and not at all to benefit myself personally, but what does it say about internal flights in Thailand on the 27th of December? When would be the ideal time to pop those? Well, I don't know.

I remember when I flew around like Thailand and Vietnam, it's so cheap. Yeah. Because they've got like Jetstar and AirAsia and stuff. And their food is so legit. You have like a really good Thai curry and they tell you you get a snack on the flight. But it's like a Thai curry.

It's like a full meal and dessert. It's legit a snack on the flight, but it's like a Thai curry, it's like a full meal and dessert. It's legit. On an internal flight? Yeah. You'd have to hoover your curry, woof around the dessert. So there's only one meal and they just literally chuck it to everyone and then clean it up in your land.

Yeah, but it's legit. You should be booking now, your wife will be all over that that you're not in charge yeah no she said should I book those internal flights like I've got an opinion

and again if I did would it count probably not don't act so downtrodden no but it was you I'd be like oh no let's wait two weeks

why would we wait two weeks I was like well I don't know why would we book now versus waiting two weeks because it's more beneficial to book now but why

because you're getting in early. In my house, it's whoever asks the question first tends to be right. Right. And because I don't ask questions, I'm never right. Apparently another way you can save money is if you don't have a date in mind and if you're flexible, like two or three or four days, that can also be a good way of getting some cheaper flights. Right.

As well, if you're not set on a date, you can be more flexible. And also setting up like Google Flight Alerts. God, that's quite intense. This is Fletch-level intense. Well, that's the thing. If you want cheaper flights, Megan, but you just go to a travel agent still. You're old school. Yeah, and then they search through and find the cheap ones.

And also, I think I flew once on Christmas Day and it was real cheap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And New Year's Day is cheap to fly. And I think New Year's Day as well because people are too hungover. They're like, I'm not flying. Or they're enjoying their Christmas Day. Just like, what else are you going to be doing? Yeah, Fletch is sitting with his family for Christmas lunch.

Eat, eat, eat. All right, I need to go. But we're still eating. Yeah, but I need to get to the airport. Why? Oh, I'm flying today. It was cheaper I need to go. But we're still eating. Yeah, but I need to get to the airport. Why? Oh, I'm flying today. It was cheaper. Yeah, it was $20 cheaper.

Family. It was $20 cheaper. Yeah, I know. Yeah, sweet. I've seen you guys. It's all good. Can someone take me to the airport? Yeah.

Please. Done. I've said please now. You have to. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Today's Top Six deals with the fact that a Green MP has done the most Green MP thing possible. She cycled herself to hospital to have a baby. Well, yeah, but you can't have the uproar

if you took an Uber or a taxi, because there'd be people who'd be like, oh, take the bus. Oh, no, but you don't want to break waters all over the seat. If that's on your bike, you could just keep going. That's why they have multicolour seats on buses, though, so if there's stains, they get hidden. Oh, are you kidding?

Oh, you need a YouTube public transport seat's been cleaned. Oh, yeah, I've seen that. It's insane. It's disgusting. It's the reason they're patterned. Now, is it Julianne Genter? Is it a soft G like a gif or is it gif? I've always just heard it said Jenta.

Julianne Jenta. On the news and stuff. Okay, I'm going to go with Julianne Jenta. The Minister for Woman, Associate Minister of Health and the Associate Minister of Transport ticked off all three by cycling herself to a hospital to have a baby. On brand. This was me when my wife's orders break.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. All the way to the hospital. Freaking out. She's just like, all right, love, I'll see you later. Just off to the hospital. Just come when you can. You know me on a bike? Like at the best of times.

Like all over the show. You'd fall right off. So this is the top six things other Green Party MPs need to do to outgreen Julianne Genter. Number six, Marama Davidson. She's the spokesperson for housing, sports and recreation, and children. Yeah. So she would need to become champion of a new sport she just invented

called insulating houses with children. That's what she'd need to do. She'd need to do that, yeah. Does she want to be Julianne Genter or not? Yeah. Number five on the list of the things Green Party MPs'd need to do. She'd need to do that, yeah. Does she want to be Julianne Genter or not? Yeah. Number five on the list of the things Green Party MPs would need to do to outgreen Julianne Genter are Chloe Swarbrick,

who's Chloe with the O's that got two dots above her. What is that for? Is it German? Chloe. Because I already saw Chloe, but then I swore. I thought with Chloe you're supposed to have a little on the E. No, that would be Chloe.

Because that means you extend the sound. You always see people saying Chloe. Chloe. Rather than just saying Chloe. Chloe. I don't know what those two dots mean. I thought they were Swiss. No, it's German.

I looked it up. Oh, okay. Chloe! Like, I don't. I need to ask. Is she just trying to posh it up? Like, do you think she, like, on her birth certificate Is she just trying to posh it up? I feel like she's... Do you think on her birth certificate she's got two dots above her eyes?

My wife's been accused of trying to flash it up because over the Sade, over the E at the end, she's got a thing, but it's because it changes it into an A sound. Sade. Otherwise her name would be shade. Shade.

Shade. Shard. Shard. Shard. The Sade. But maybe I don't know what the thing is here. But she's a spokesperson for education, arts and heritage, tertiary education and small business.

Okay. So to outgreen Julianne Jenda, she would need to go to uni and study arts to come out and start a small business. Arts degrees. What a hoot. What a hoot. Number four on the list of the things Green Party MPs need to do to outgreen Julianne Jenter.

Gareth Hughes. He's that guy that looks like he's accidentally gone to work with his dad and somehow ended up with a portfolio. He's a spokesperson for... That's so rude. Well, that's why he grew a beard. He grows a great beard for a 15-year-old, I assume. He's the spokesperson for energy and resources biosecurity food safety and tourism

okay so to outgreen Julian Genter he would need to start making his own energy from the renewable resource that is tourists continuing to bring in

food that isn't safe and is confiscated at biosecurity checks it's a lot to do it's a lot to do but it's not impossible no if you want to get it done

you've got to get it done number three on the list of the top six ways that Green MPs need to outgreen Julie Angenta, Jan Logie is a spokesperson for workplace relations, Rambo issues and senior citizens. So she would need to start running a workplace that has 100% workplace satisfaction,

but everybody who works there is LGBTIQ plus senior citizens. Okay. To incorporate doable. Totally doable. Yeah. 100%. Just because you're 65 and transgender doesn't mean you have to get out of the workforce. No.

Does it? I couldn't imagine anyone over 65 in the workforce not having a whinge though and having 100% workplace satisfaction. That would be the hardest part. Good luck with that. Yeah, not finding gay 70-year-old men. No. Find those easy peasy.

Keeping them happy and not whinging. Good luck. Number two on the list of the top six things Green MPs need to do to outgreen Julianne Jenter. Golriz. Oh, the last name always gets me and it's because I don't believe in myself. Gohraman. Believe in myself. Gohraman.

Believe in yourself. Gohraman. Yeah. Is the spokesperson for trade, defence, security and intelligence, amongst other things. Yeah. So to outgrain Julianne Jenner, she would need to start being part of an elite unit

of New Zealand's best spies defending New Zealand under the guise of being tradies that drive Priuses to work instead of diesel utes. How do you know she's not? Good spy. Yeah. She could be. She could be.

She could be. And the number one thing Green MPs need to do to outgreen Julianne Jenter, James Shaw, he's co-leader. He is the Minister of Climate Change and Statistics. Just have one leader, you hippies. Just one is enough. No, I don't like it. James is sharing enough. No, I don't like it.

James is sharing it. No, I don't like it. You're old school. I'm old school. One leader. You don't have Richie McCall's, I'll do half of this match. You, captain, the other half. It's not how it works. Don't compare everything to rugby. But if he goes off,

he needs to be back up. The vice-captain. Yeah, isn't that the same thing? It's not the same thing? No, it's not the same thing. Sharing. God, it just gets me wild. How does it affect you?

It doesn't at all. Exactly. At all. But he's the Minister of Climate Change and Statistics. So, to outgrin Julian Gendahead,

we need to solve climate change using maths and statistics while also assisting in the mating of Maui's dolphins in a hand-on approach. Is that the thing?

Are Maui dolphins just awful at doing it? Maybe, yeah. Got a low libido or something? Yeah. Not tonight. Didn't you hear the news? There's only 55 of us left. That's depressing.

That's why we need to do it. Nah, not tonight. That's today's top six. FBM. FBM. God, yesterday we were going for a drive, not tonight. That's today's top six. FBM. ZM. God. Yesterday, we were going for a drive, Sunday drive. Yep.

And Indy said, I'm starting to feel a little bit sick. Indy's in the back seat. She's like, I'm starting to feel a little bit sick. And as a person that gets a car sick if I sit in the back, I was like, I get you. We'll wind the windows down. You always say that, but that's because you just want shotgun. I like sitting in the front or I like driving.

But I do, when we're in the back, hey, where were we going? Oh, when we went to Soundcare Bandabell's house the other day.

Vaughn and I sat in the back and when we got out, we're like, whoa. But that's only because James drove over the speed bumps too fast. Yeah,

and hit my head on the roof. But I think also you're just so used when you're older to sitting in the front seat when you get chucked in the back seat. It's not pleasing.

Dad, I feel sick. I was a prolific spewer. Oh, really? I was all down the side of Tika Witi. I spewed down Tika Witi's main street as a kid. Yes. And a KFC drove through a spewer in front of everybody eating.

Yeah. I was a chronic spewer in the back seat. So I said, wind the window down, you'll feel a little bit better. Yeah. And she's like, okay. And Shade said, you put your hand out the window and like guide the air in. So we're driving for a little bit and I said, you're right, Indy. And she said, yep.

As I went to wind up my window, because I wind up, because you know if you go one window down, it's horrible. So everybody's windows were down a little bit, Indy's more. I said, you're right, Indy. And she said, yep. And I wound windows were down a little bit. Indy's more. I said, are you all right in there? And she said, yep. And I wound what I thought was my window up, but I did her window. And I just hear this, oh, from the back.

And I look, and her face is just like pure terror. Yeah. All right, what's that? And Charlotte's like, you wound her fingers in the window. So then panicking, I try to hit the wind down window, but I hit the lock feature where you can't. So she's trying to wind the window down herself

to get her fingers out, but she can't because I've locked it and I'm panicking. And I got it down and she pulled her fingers out and she's just in tears, just bawling.

And I was like, I'm so sorry. Like I was just riddled with guilt. Shana's like, what'd you wind the window up for? I said, I was trying to wind my window up. You think I wind my window up on purpose with their fingers in the window?

So there's like screaming and crying and everybody's like, oh. We pulled a car over and I just apologised. I was like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. And I apologised to the point where she's like, it's okay, it was an accident. Which is weird for a kid because when I was a kid, I would never have said that, ever. And I just kept apologising and even like an hour later, she said, you don't need to keep apologising. It's okay.

It was an accident. I'd be like, Dad, you know what would make this better? Yeah, I know, but she didn't even do that either. McDonald's money. Chucky happening in this situation for forgiveness. And I think I apologised to her more in half an hour than my parents have apologised to me in my entire life. You don't need

any apologies. Did you ever get the alright, alright, you can stop going on about it. This is dragging on a bit long.

Well, my dad actually slammed my fingers in the car door once. I was getting out of the car and he was like, come on,

and slammed the car and I was like, and I started crying and he's like, okay, okay, it's a bit too much drama now. It's gone on.

But no sorry. Oh, I was like, sorry, mate. Sorry. Oh, heck, that would have hurt. Sorry. But then I continued crying. He's like, all right. This was another one.

Another famous thing. My parents said, wrap it up. Wrap it up. Wrap up the drama. The drama's going on. It's all very dramatic, isn't it? You've got yourself into a situation. Oh, you're just getting yourself into a state now. Yeah, drama, Rat. The drama's going on. It's all very dramatic, isn't it? You've got yourself into a situation. Oh, you're just getting yourself into a state now.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, just relax. You've got yourself all wound up. Yeah, yeah. You've got to stay my fingers in the door. I'm not wound up. You tried to hurt me to my fingers. Okay, mate.

It's very high drama. You don't even remember what you're crying about anymore. Oh, that was a good one. My fingers got slammed in the door. Yeah, but when did that stop hurting? They're still throbbing. It's the drama of the situation now. But yeah, I just couldn't have imagined.

Oh God, I still feel guilty. I'm waiting for them to wake up so I can message and see how the fingers are, if there's any bruising. God, I feel bad. Still do. Because then when she goes to school, so I can message and see how the fingers are, if there's any bruising. God, I felt bad. Still do. Because then when she goes to school, everyone's going to be like, what happened there? She's going to say, my father did it. Well, she had a bruise on her head last Monday when she went to school.

She fell over and headbutted the concrete. Now she's got bung fingers. It's only a matter of time until there's a knock on the door and it's child, youth and family. Joined on the phone by special guest this morning, Dr. Pimple Popper, whose real name is Sandra Lee. Good morning.

Hi, how are you? Good, thank you. I was just thinking, is it crazy? Did you ever think when you got into medicine that like all this, you know, down the track years later, you'd be famous for pimples? No, absolutely not. I mean, this is crazy.

It's all only happened within the last four years, too. It's just bonkers. Did it start on Instagram? It started on Instagram, yeah. I started a page to, you know, a business page to show a window into my world as a dermatologist, and I just posted a blackhead extraction early on, and I noticed that people were more people were paying attention to it. I just did it again, and it happened again. And then now, look, it's like,

we have 2.6 billion views on YouTube. It's crazy. And, you know, 10 million followers over our platform, so it's crazy. How, I, why do you think, what's the primal human urge to watch another person's pimples or cysts or lipomas being... Well, I mean, do you have any popaholics there in the room?

Yes. I'm watching one of your blackhead extractions at the moment and it's so satisfying. Yeah, I think it... You know what it is? It brings joy to people who enjoy it. It makes them happy. It relaxes them. It makes them happy. It relaxes them. It makes them feel like things are put back into place.

Or it's even like it gives you a little rush of endorphins. Like you've ridden a big roller coaster or watched a scary movie or something. There's like this resolution afterwards. I think it makes people feel good. And it's soothing and relaxing. And then there's the people who hate love love it. Like they're like, oh, watching through their fingers, pausing, having to look away. You kind of got it all covered.

Yeah, I think that that's the reason that it grew so quickly was because it's really polarizing. I think it's either people are just grossed out by it or they're absolutely obsessed with it. And either way, they would want to show somebody. So that's really how it grew so quick. Two-part question. What's your favorite body part to squeeze on? Because when I see you doing the ears and the noses, that's particularly satisfying. But body part-wise, what do you enjoy squeezing on? Well, the ones that are hidden that people tend to tell you

like sort of as like a by accident or by the way are usually behind the ear. Now, they can't see them. They might feel them and it's sort of like you'll be doing something else with them and then go,

you know what? Can you just look behind my ear? There's something, you know, I don't know what it is and it just kind of bothers me and then you'll see like a huge blackhead like the size of your fingernail, you know, behind there.

And that's the one that you're like, wow, I just like, I just hit a jackpot. Yeah, I was going to say, do you see one and go, yes, I cannot wait to squeeze that. Yeah, yes. And the ones behind your ear, you could probably get your fingers around and pinch them. You know, some parts of the body you can't really squeeze so hard.

You have to push down on them. But on the ear, you can get a nice squeeze. Oh, yeah, there's been a few instances where they're usually those big blackheads. We call them dilated pore of whiners. Those are the ones you're looking for. Those are the unicorns. I can imagine, you know, the odd little pemble or blackhead, you know, going unsqueezed on me or the normal person.

But how do people let it get so extreme that you're squeezing those giant tennis ball size? How does that happen? I think that it's a variety of factors. I think mainly I see them in older patients and they might not be able to reach that area very well. They don't have very good eyesight. They can't see what it is.

They have arthritis in their hands. They can't really feel to squeeze those areas. And, you know, there's also some people that are young and they're fully full of vitality, but they just don't care. Like it doesn't bother them. You know, they're just like, whatever, whatever it is, what it is, as long as it's not threatening my life. You know, sometimes some people wait for something that is threatening their life and they keep it there forever. So you can imagine that a blackhead can grow quite big even it's benign, so it's not going to threaten their life. So it can grow to a big size if someone just sort of ignores it. Do you still get surprised that you'll see one and you'll be like, oh, this won't be too big.

And then you give it a push and it's just, or have you seen so many? You do. I say that they're like snowflakes. You never know what you're going to have. So they're all unpredictable and they're all different. I think now more so people are probably disappointed if I don't put them on, you know, if they're not blackhead worthy.

How did I ever insult her that? Like, what was wrong with my huge black head? So we have Dr. Pipple Popper on the phone with us right now, Dr. Sander Lee. We have some questions from Instagram from big fans of you popping pimples. Okay. Now, question one, is it fun and relaxing popping the pimples? Yes, I have actually grown to like them more.

You know, personally, actually, I have to confess, I'm not a natural popaholic. Really? I don't have to. I've never felt compelled to remove people's blackheads on their body or whatever. I say I'm a born again popaholic because now I do because I know people are going to like it. And I also can't watch other people's videos because they gross me out. I think I get the same reaction that people who don't like my videos get because I

feel like there's a loss of control. Like I know that my patients are not in any pain, that I'm doing this in a really clean manner, you know, and I think that that makes me be able to do it. And I'm fully gloved up. You know, if I didn't have gloves or a splash mask, I'd probably say, you know, you've got to come back another time. Well, that's actually two of the questions. Somebody asked if you watch other people's pimple videos, but you've said you can't.

Yes, I don't like them. Don't send them to me. I can't. My heart starts beating fast. Really? Yes. Do people inbox you their gross pimples? I will sometimes get, like, I'll get friends or, you know, people, if some other pimple-popping video goes viral,

and then I get, like, a wave of people sending them to me, I'm like, stop. Don't send this stuff to me. Oh, that's so weird. I've had somebody come over, like a friend that came over and said, oh, look, I have this horse abscess. My friend has this horse, and he has this abscess, and I thought you'd love to see it. And I was like, ah, don't even look. Don't even look. I don't want to, don't even look. Don't even look. I don't want to look at that at all.

Don't even show that to me. Some other questions come in. Why do you know why girlfriends and wives love to pop their partner's pimples? I do think it's more of a girl, a female. I think three quarters of my demographic is female. And maybe it has to do with that we are more in general in touch with our skin. You know, we're looking at it really closely. We apply more makeup and, you know, things like that. We're probably more in general concerned with anti-aging and things.

So we're more conscious of our skin. And, you know, they also go back to people think it's like that we come from primates, you know. And so there's this grooming tendency. Yeah, preening. What kind of differentiates us? Somebody else wants to know what's the best way to get rid of stubborn blackheads on the nose? Well, you want to make sure that the area is softened, you know, like that dirt and debris that's in your pores.

Make sure it's nice and soft. So take a nice hot shower or steam the area. Make sure it's nice and, you know, the areas are not hard under the skin. And I usually like to use a Comodone extractor, as you see in my videos. Yeah. I also like to prep the skin with a retinol product, which is an over-the-counter product that helps to soften the blacks and whiteheads. What about those, this is just my personal question because my wife does them across

her nose, those, you smear it on question because my wife does them across her nose. You smear it on and then it hardens and then you peel it off and it pulls all the stuff out of the pores. Yeah, like the clay mask. Yeah, yeah. The blackhead mask. Yeah, the clay is sort of like,

it creates like a little vacuum under the skin or even a Biore strip, like those strips, those nose strips. I mean, you can use those. They're just essentially almost like a duct tape or like a little suction that's trying to pull out those blackheads. It's important to soften them, though, first, again. So have a shower.

Because then it'll be easier to extract. It doesn't prevent you from necessarily getting them to reform again. So I think, like, a good thing to do, again, is that topical product can help to prevent new ones from forming. Right. And finally, someone wants to know, is it bad to squeeze pimples that aren't ready yet? You know, where you're just... wants to know, is it bad to squeeze pimples that aren't ready yet? Absolutely. It'll just make that area madder, angrier, redder, more inflamed, and probably end up making that zit even bigger.

Because I'm always like, oh, is it ready? Is it ready? Squeeze? No. Yeah. At least you know that that's smart, that you know that there's a point where it gets more ready. You know, if you put warm compresses on your skin, that may actually increase the speed that it kind of comes to a head on the surface of your skin. But that's the, I'm not going to tell anybody to pop anything, but if you, I know people are going to do it anyway. So I think that that most important thing is to know that when it's the most superficial on your skin, that's the time that you can best express it and leave the lowest risk for infection or scarring. Right, so wait till there's a little white head or a head on it.

Yes, exactly. You guys are smart. Well, you've got a lot of fans here in New Zealand and loving your show as well. Dr. Pimple Popper is on Sky's TLC on Monday, tonight at 8.30. Dr. Pimple Popper, Sandra, thank you so much for having a chat to us. Thank you so much. Have a.30, Dr. Pimple Popper, Sandra, thank you so much for having a chat to us.

Thank you so much. Have a great day, guys. Now, over the weekend, the song was released last week, Mr. Toyboy's new single. Magic. Cool, Magic. Andrew Pappas' Magical. Magical.

On Spotify and iTunes right now. Under the pseudonym Andrew Pappas. Okay. Yeah. His given name is Mr. Toyboy. Mr. Toyboy, yeah. Magical, the song, we dissected that last week. Thanks, Kat.

Awesome. We were shook, weren't we? Absolutely shook. Now, for those that missed it, what were your issues going into this music video shoot? So the music or the song's kind of a bit sexy, so he needed a hot girl to be a part of it, of which he found a hot girl.

A bikini model. She's a model, yeah. She is an absolute babe. And I guess, yep, that was my issue, the fact that it was going to be filmed in our bedroom with a hot model. On the bed. Yeah. It was going to be filming on the bed. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. On your bed. Yeah. So. So it happened over the weekend. How did it. On your bed. Yeah. So it happened over the weekend. How did it go? It was actually, it was okay.

Do you know, I worked myself into a frenzy. I like had a coffee before I went to meet the model and I was like, I actually think

I need to put a bit of whiskey in my coffee or something because I was in a frenzy because I'm pretty shy with new people anyway. Shut up, Fletch. Like I get really shy

and anxious about meeting people. But she was actually just really nice. And I don't, it's that like stupid lesson where you shouldn't like judge people before you meet them because she was lovely.

And you know, like. But it was never, it was never her you had the problem with. No, it's just the situation. It was the whole situation, right. So we did film it. And most of it, I mean, he wasn't required to be in the same shot. Oh, he daren't.

So... I think he read between the lines last week. He was like, oh, we're just a bit of a rework, guys. I'm not even going to be in the same house. But you'd think that he would be on his best behaviour. But he's like, I'm just going to go see if they need anything. I was like, no, you're not. He's like, yeah, guys. I'm not even going to be in the same house. But you'd think that he would be on his best behaviour, but he's like, I'm just going to go see if they need anything.

I was like, no, you're not. He's like, yeah, yeah. Toddled off down there. And I was like, they're so rebellious when they're young. Yeah. And yeah, he's like,

oh, I just need to film some things for social, you know, for social. I was like, okay, mate. Okay, mate. You're treading a fine line here. Yeah, but I did use

a couple of things against him, so I got to go shopping yesterday. What did you catch him looking at? Classically. No, it was just like, oh, do you think that maybe that video is a bit revealing for Instagram? I was like, oh, he probably shouldn't have taken that one. You know, like it's a bit.

Oh, you're talking about like the stories and stuff when he was filming that. Yeah, so he didn't put some of them up, and then he obviously's a bit. Oh, you're talking about like the stories and stuff when he was filming that. So he didn't put some of them up. And then he obviously felt a bit bad. So he's like, yesterday can be your day. We'll go shopping, shall we? I was like, great. He knows how to make you happy.

Also, I know how to work it. Yeah. I could tell you're a little bit anxious in your Instagram stories. Could you? Yeah. Quite nervous. Yeah, I was. And then when you said, oh, here's the model, she's actually not that bad.

Yeah, not that bad. I laughed. I laughed. I laughed. No, but she was really nice, but I still, like, as awkward as I felt. Imagine how awkward she would feel. Yeah. Going into someone's house.

And then at one point, after I spoke to her a bit more after the shoot and she was like, oh yeah, I heard you talking on the radio about this and about me. I was like, oh no, now I'm in court talking about someone. So, yeah, I mean she was lovely and you shouldn't

judge people before you meet them is what I've learned. But again, like Vaughan said, it wasn't a problem with her. It was the situation. I like to judge people and then you meet them is what I've learned. But again, like Vaughan said, it wasn't a problem with her. It was the situation. I like to judge people and then never meet them. That's how I like to run my mouth and then not leave my house. So when can we expect this video? It should be out this week.

Okay. It's just, you know, it's upsetting too because I've seen some of the video and she's like a way better me. You know, she's like a way better me you know she's really pretty guys she's like

real pretty can we just defer to Caitlin Caitlin what does she want us to do here are we supposed to tell Megan she's the best Megan

no I think you did really well with how you held yourself Magoos she is pretty but you're just as pretty thanks

you're on evil par. That didn't come across. You're on par. I don't need to compromise. Why not what I mean to her? I'm okay being on par. Everybody's the same. She's a model.

Okay, listen. You're better suited for Andrew. And this is what we were talking about the whole time. Oh, it's even worse when someone says, you're the best you. It's like, oh, yeah, no shit. But she was better. You just said. But when someone says, you're the best you. It's like, oh, yeah, no shit. But she was better, you just said.

But you've got, you're being blonde better. I haven't seen you blonde, so you're better at being blonde. There you go. Yeah, well, what if we see you blonde now and she's a better blonde?

Nah, Megan. Hey! We'll be better. I don't, okay, let's just, move on. I feel great, guys. I feel uplifted.

FVM, the podcast. FVM. I want to talk about the new Netflix series that's just move on. I feel great, guys. I feel uplifted. FVM, the podcast. FVM. I want to talk about the new Netflix series that's caused some controversy. It's called Insatiable, and if you haven't heard it, this is a little clip of what it's about. Having my jaw wired shut lost me more than just my summer vacation. Oh, this is like every great high school movie ever made. Now, I could be the former fatty who turned into a brain.

Or an athlete. Or a princess. No, I'd rather have revenge. People do not have nice things to say about this show. Yeah. So I watched the first episode and it was terrible. Everyone sees the pilot's terrible. So she gets her jaw wired shut so she can't eat and so she

loses heaps of weight. So she is a bigger girl and she gets into a fight with a homeless man who calls her fat. The homeless man breaks her jaw, she gets her jaw wide shut. Oh god, I assume it was a car accident or something. No. She fights a homeless man. And yeah, she loses

weight by having her jaw wide shut. Now not once but twice in this series, they promote like losing weight through unhealthy means, like having a jaw wide shut, although you don't see it. It gets very well explained. Then another point, she gets emotional and she gains 10 pounds, which is like four and a half kgs. Yeah.

So in order to do her beauty pageants, she needs to lose this quickly. So they wrap her up in plastic and she goes for runs. Right. I get that it's satire. I totally get that. And they make really loose little jokes. And I mean, I get that it's supposed to be funny, but there's so many terrible messages in there

that I just can't get past it. Although I did watch the whole season. I was going to say, you watched the entire... It was like train wrecking. Like it was entertaining in like an awful way. But not like a train wreck as in Love Island you can watch the whole

thing. No. It did, it upset me and so I felt like I would watch it more and more. To get angry at it? Yeah, so there's fat shaming. At one point I was like, here we go. They're going to turn it around and they brought in some, like it was an LGBTQ storyline and you know, supporting those groups I was like, here we go. They're going to turn it around. And they brought in some, like it was an LGBTQ storyline and, you know, supporting those groups in society.

And they brought in a trans character. And now she was in the bathroom explaining issues she has with her body. And it was a really nice moment. And then the trans character was gone, never to be seen again. So they dabble in these moments and then they're like, oh, no, it doesn't work. So just like kick her off. It's just really like done yeah

and it talks about bisexual being like bisexual doesn't exist you're just on the train to gay town I just feel like these things it's like

supposed to be funny but I feel like we're at a point now where it's like still belittling and giving off really bad messages do you get what

i mean i know people that have started the show and they can't finish it they're just like it's that bad it is quite bad i think like if it had been way more satirical maybe it could have been something but like i don't know i just feel like the messages it's giving off especially to young girls is so bad at one point they talk about skinny being magic and like your life will change for the better and I get that you see the character and she doesn't everything doesn't fall into place once she gets thin but it's her be all and end all. It's really bad.

So I don't know. I don't know if I'm alone on that because usually I'm not that sensitive about things and I'm like oh okay it's funny if you take it for what it is but I'm not so sure about this program. I can balance that out with like 11-minute documentary I saw on Netflix at the weekend. Yeah.

It was amazing. Because you know that classic thing we sit down on Netflix and I'm like halfway through three series that Sade's watched none of and she wants to watch them together and you're like, oh, here we go. But she's on her phone and I'm like, what about this? And she's like, oh, yeah, but not really concentrating

and you're just like, why, what? Anyway, we ended up watching a 12, 11 to 12 minute documentary called Zion. Have you seen this? No. I wouldn't recommend it. It's this amazing story. This guy is born with no legs and his parents give him away. I've seen the ad for this.

It's phenomenal. And his parents just put him up for adoption. He goes through a series of foster homes where he's like beaten and treated really poorly and like called a freak. This doesn't sound... All these horrible things. Right. At high school, he's adopted by a woman who loves him and treats him well. Yeah. And he gets into wrestling

with no legs. And it's about how he gets to like state championships and it's just the most amazing sort of like after I watched it, I was like, well, that's like no excuses. Why is it only 11 minutes I don't know because that's gone to the end and I was like more more but it's kind of good that's weird

I know I know were you watching a promo for it no that's it because I looked it up I was like that has to have been like the thing they put together to sell it to make the full length one for Netflix but no that was it it was quite nice watching just a little yeah right

we'll watch Zion instead of Insatiable you know how you get a little bit uppity when you watch a documentary I mean you like that time Megan wanted to save all the whales

the dolphins I mean watch The Cove I defy you to watch The Cove and not want to go to Taji but imagine being able to do it in 12 minutes ZM presents Friday Games Live.

So wait, if I was backstage and your dressing room was open, we're like, hi, Asha. Well, that might be a bodyguard at the door. Yeah, it'd be like, get out of here.

If I had to recall, man, I lost count a long time ago. Do you even know how many times you say it in the song? How many times I've said yeah, man in life? I'd say millions. Considering doing the song, I'd say millions. Considering doing the song, I say it about maybe 200 times

F-E-M. Z-E-M. Julie Angenta, a Green MP, cycled herself to hospital while pregnant to go. She was getting an induction. It's the most- Which is a cooktop that you have to get a special lot of pots and pans for. Your ordinary pan, they don't work. They put you on the stove and it pops out.

Yeah. And you don't feel hot, but you're boiling some water. I don't know how it works. It's the most, it's been called what? The most on-brand thing she could have done. Yeah. Because the Minister of Woman. Yeah.

Women. Women. Hospital. Yeah. Health Minister. And also. Transport Minister. Transport.

Associate Transport Minister. No, it's Health Minister. I know. You said a hospital. I said the hospital. Associate Transport Minister. No, it's Health Minister. I know. You said a hospital. I said the hospital person. The hospital minister. The Associate Hospital Minister. And transport.

So she like nailed it all in one foul swoop. Yeah, just before she goes on maternity leave, she's like, you guys want to see how this is done? I'll work them all into one.

Was she getting induced because she's past her due date? She must be. Or for some reason they said, come in on this date and we'll induce you to see how it goes. Are you meant to? I mean, I'm not one to tell people what to do, but are you meant to? Cycle. Bicycle when you're pregnant?

Because what if you fall off? Oh. Because I don't trust. Yeah, that's what I'd be worried about. That's a risk when you cycle. The baby's got all the amniotic fluid and stuff. It's probably in its own little safety section. Yeah, right.

But, I mean, I don't know. You can't. Yeah, I've never been pregnant so I've never had someone tell you what you can and can't do. I don't really know.

I'm imagining your pregnancy would just be full of people telling you what you can and can't do. Oh, I've had pregnancies chocker with people giving you advice whether you ask for it or not.

But I went to like a pump class and that's like weights and I saw someone who was like heavily pregnant and I was thinking, man, doing pump class. Man, they get them addicted to Les Mills classes early, don't they? She was like going for it. I was like, well, if

you can, I guess. Well, yeah, and if it makes you feel better, then why not? And they say what you experience in the womb calms you when you come out because it's the familiarity. So like if your kid's crying, you just like crank up some high BPM music and make it really hot and sweaty and have someone screaming and that'll put the baby to sleep. Nice.

I reckon I'm just going to laze out. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't be biking anywhere if I was pregnant. I'd be on the couch. I personally think growing a human inside you is a feat enough in itself. You certainly don't need to undertake any Well yeah, a lot of people get tired and stuff. I don't want to be on a bike. But a lot of people

don't realise, maybe if they've got a job and they're just getting on with it, that when they're pregnant a lot of people are like, might be, I can't believe you're still doing that. But it's they're just like, well it's just my job. I'm just getting on with it. It's what I do all the time. So, you know. I'm not going to be able to say to my boss, hey I don't want to do this doing that. But they're just like, well, it's just my job. I'm just getting on with it. It's what I do all the time. So, you know, I'm not going to be able to say to my boss,

hey, I don't want to do this because I'm pregnant. Can you just give me a hold of my internet to it now? Sure. So I was wondering this morning if anybody's got any great pregnancy feats. Like it could have been something you did when you were pregnant that blew people's minds or something you've witnessed someone doing in various states of pregnancy that you've just been blown away by. I can't.

I'm not even doing that now and I'm not pregnant. Yeah. Like a pump class. Yeah, I know. And they've got heavier weights than you. You're like, no. It's just showing off. Yeah, but they're lifting for two.

Yeah. True. All right. Well, 0800-DARLS-IT-M-9696. What can't you believe people did when they were pregnant or what did you do when you were pregnant that people couldn't believe? We want to know what people can't believe you did

while you were heavily pregnant. Green MP bicycled herself to hospital to give birth. Yeah, to get induced. Brilliant. All right, I'm off. Somebody said, how's she getting the baby home? Very good question. Oh, you're pretty just on the bus.

Because I don't think you can strap a newborn into a bike set. On the bus. Oh, yeah, on the bus. Because they're free to. In a little capsule. Are they? Are they? Are they free when they're real?

Yeah, yeah, under five. Oh, yeah. Sweet. You're right, actually. That's why I always say to my kids, remember you're under five? I'm six and a half now. No, you're not. Shush.

Some text messages in. No shortage. Okay. messages in. No shortage. Okay. Of amazing stories. Yes, okay. I was, I had a lawn mowing business. And at 40 weeks pregnant, I was still mowing on average eight lawns a day. Got some crazy looks and comments, especially from the people whose lawns I was mowing.

Yeah. Saying, shouldn't you have knocked off by now? What's going on here? Somebody else said, I've seen a couple of women come in with back pain and leave with a baby in the hospital I work in, not even knowing they were pregnant. I remember on the show a few years ago, we talked to a woman who was like, oh, yeah, I just went and had a baby. Didn't know.

Because I wouldn't have believed it until we'd spoken to her. No. But you hear about it all the time. Yeah. So they said that up until then, they've just been living like an actual life as per. Alice, what can't you believe? What people, what people. What did you do that people couldn't believe?

When you were pregnant. Like speak a sentence. In Fletcher's case. I was 38 weeks pregnant and paddle boarding and I'm not the daintiest of things as it is and I couldn't even stand up. How many times did you end up in the water? Twice.

But on the other hand, I always had a two-toned set of togs on and it looked like I had my boobs out. How did you get back up? I wouldn't have been able to, but it's hard enough to get back on the stand-up paddle board. Yeah, getting back up on the board like a beached whale in the ocean. It's so flattering when you're like that.

But if you'd fallen off and gone to trouble, dolphins would have rescued you, because dolphins love a pregnant lady. Thanks, you're cool. Alice, Lauren, what can't people believe you did while you were pregnant? Hiya. I did Tough Mudder in Auckland when I was four and a half months pregnant.

A Tough Mudder? That looks hard. I wouldn't do that. Even when you're not pregnant. They keep saying at the gym, I don't even want to do the Tough Mudder. I'm like, oh, no. I'm busy.

I'm not even pregnant. I was just, yeah, bro. There was one bit, though, which is like in a river, and I was sort of struggling a bit at this point, and I just kind of lay there like a beached whale, and my husband just dragged me through those parts, and that was really nice. Oh, good man.

Nice of him. Poor me. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. All right, thanks a lot. Shelly, what's your story? Good morning. I was 41 weeks pregnant with my first child, and I decided this particular morning I was going to start up the weed eater

and do the weed eating around the house, and my next-door neighbours couldn't believe it. They looked at me like I was bonkers. Yes, you were doing the edging and taking down the past balance. But you've got the perfect excuse to get out of doing the weed eating. I just wanted to keep busy because at no point just moping around the house waiting for things to happen, you know. Oh, yeah, no. Right.

But you managed to do the whole weeds, the lawns okay? Yeah, I finished all of the weed eating. And then within like 15 minutes after I actually finished the whole job, my water's broke. Oh, wow. On the lawns? It's perfect. Oh, wow. On the lawn? It's perfect. Well, enough that's good for the lawn or not. It's probably quite full of nutrients.

Yeah, yeah. You can put that on the list of things that you need to do to, like, induce the baby. Yeah, better weed eating. Thanks, Shelly. I'm glad that story went like that because it said on the phone call, Shelly eating weed while pregnant. She was weed eating. She was weed eating, not eating weed.

Very different things. Some other text messages in. I drove myself to the hospital at 2 a.m. in full labour. Baby born 4 a.m. so two hours. Partner doesn't drive. It's like pass egg. Imagine if the baby kicked or something or you had a real bad contraction

and your foot was going on the accelerator. It would be there in no time. I went pig hunting and caught a 120-pound boar when I was 36 weeks pregnant. Sorry, Watna. Do you have to carry that on your back? Yeah, they said they caught it. I don't know if they carried it or...

Probably be actually quite nice because they say the weight's quite full on on the front, chuck it on the back. Good bit of balance there. Yeah. I mean, you're not having a 120-pound baby, are you? That's full on. I was a courier driver right up until 40 weeks with baby number three.

I knew he'd be two weeks late like his brother. My boss said I had to finish up before I had a baby on the side of the road. Otherwise, I would have kept going for a little bit longer. Wow. Somebody said they've just stopped teaching pump class. They're 32 weeks pregnant. Oh, okay. It's fine if you've been doing it beforehand

and you know your limits. Someone said my sister did that 100 kilometre Oxfam walk while she was pregnant and completed the whole thing. 100 k's? Yeah. I tiled a bathroom and painted ceilings at 40 weeks pregnant. It was interesting tiling the area between the bath and the shower with such a big belly. Really had to squeeze in there.

He's making me feel lazy like now. I know. Not even pregnant. I was 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and I was still doing sumo squats at the squat rack at the gym and getting strange looks. Well, because you'd go to squat down and your belly would be in... Yeah, you'd have to get a wide stance on,

wouldn't you? I was in my sister's team... I was in my sister's team's lead scorer for softball when I was in the late stages of pregnancy. Jeez. I was 36 weeks pregnant when I landed a huge kingfish on a 10-pound line on the boat.

30 minutes to get it in. Love the photos. No one believes. Everyone's like, what's going on there? I was so heavily pregnant. Fact of the day, day the movie Sharknado. Do you know they're up to their fifth Sharknado? I think I saw a trailer or something pop up,

and they're just getting more and more ridiculous. It's the final one. And what shocked me to my attention was did you see the interview Tara Reid? Because she's been in all of them. Right.

Tara Reid, early 2000s, it girl. Yep. Turned hot mess. Yep. The hottest and the messiest. Yep.

She gave an interview on Australian TV and she was like, is actually in a worryingly bad state. Remember that time I saw her and L.A. in the flesh and it was, like, scary. Yeah. I felt like going up and being like, you okay? She just said she was tired.

Right. Maybe she was just tired. And now she's cancelled the rest of the press tour because she's got some back issues. Right. But when I was reading about Sharknado, I actually read that when they first proposed Sharknado, they lied about Sharknado. Yeah. They didn't call it Sharknado when it was being propped

to these actors. And you might have noticed that a lot of the actors, Ian Ziering from original Beverly Hills 90210 fame, who has not done much else, is in the film. And a lot of people, actors that you recognise from somewhere, Tara Reid, et cetera, they lied about it

and said it's a movie called Dark Skies and got them all to agree to do it and sign on. And after they'd signed on, they said, so basically the skies are dark because a weather event is led to A shark matter What?

What? What did you say? You go first No, no, you What did you ask? What did you just say? About the shark matter What?

It's a tornado full of sharks Oh, we're all out But then they threatened to sue them If they tried to get out of it So they were like bound to the contract Oh no And that's how they got into get out of it. So they were like bound to the contract. Oh, no. And that's how they got into a rubbish movie. That's how they...

Rubbish, yes, but fifth. It's got its fifth. People still watch it because he's so bad. That's why people watch them and like them. That's right. That's how they got into that. It's a paycheck, isn't it? Yeah.

For Ian Ziering and Tara Reid. Spend five paychecks. Exactly. They wouldn't have been doing much else with that. I don't know how big these paychecks were. Maybe not from the dizzying heights of Beverly Hills 90210 or American Pie. Yeah, she was an American, right? Because we talked to her, didn't we, about when the new American Pie.

No, when did we talk to her? About something. Didn't they do the American Pie reunion? And it was like all the original cast 10 years on and a couple of them had kids and stuff. Oh, yeah. And she was in that. Yeah, I think we did interview her around there.

And we interviewed her, yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, so she's got us all back and she's not able to do the rest of the Sharknado 5 press tour. But today's fact of the day is the original Sharknado was, the project was called Dark Skies, and to get the actors to agree to be in it, they completely lied about what the movie was about.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Are they all wobbly? See, I can remember the front ones, but I don't remember any of the sort of slightly back ones falling out when I was a kid. Do they fall out too? All of your teeth? Like back ones? Yeah, they're all the kids. Well, the molars come through when you're like six. I don't know if they fall out or not.

But yeah, they're all like milk teeth or baby teeth or whatever they're called. Right. And so they all fall out so your adult teeth can push through. These are the glory hogs. These two front teeth up the top. Generally, the bottom ones go first and then the big ones at the top go. Well, she lost one of her big ones up the front, up the top.

And then the other one was real wiggly and she looked like a hillbilly. And loved whining shut up about how she looked like a hillbilly. And I said to her, that's got to the point now where it's so loose, you're going to risk that coming out while you're asleep. And I think I remember swallowing a tooth as a kid when I was asleep. One that my mum was like, let us pull it out. And I was like, no. And then I swallowed it in my sleep.

Because what did you do with the last one? You tied it to the dog, eh? And let the dog run away. And let the dog run away. Yeah, that was great. Why didn't you do that again? Because it freaked her out. We've done that for two of her teeth now.

The bottom one, it just popped it out because it was ready to go. But the front one, maybe we went a little early. Then it went, and pulled her. I've got a video of it. I'm not putting it online because she cries at the end of it. And there's a definite snap sound. It's just a bit like, well, we don't need that knocking on the door. And so I kept saying to her, we've got to pull this out.

We've got to pull this out. No, no, no. And then the other day, over the weekend, she woke up and it's gone. Oh. Not in the bed? Not in the bed. We searched everywhere through the bed, through the pillows, through the sheets under the bed.

Swallowed it in her sleep. The only thing we think is she must have swallowed it in her sleep. That is disgusting. I know. And it's just wrong. Because I always said if you swallow that in the sleep and you want the tooth through money, we're going to have to sieve through your poo.

Fawn. Thinking of an empty promise. Yeah, yeah. It would just have to be. That's also the kind of thing a kid would do, so you maybe shouldn't joke about. But, yeah, well, I said if you want the money, it's going to happen.

So she swallowed it, and she's like, oh, well, we can't find it. I must have swallowed it. But that's no worry because Dad said he's going to sieve through my poo to find it. So over the weekend, she's like, well, I need to do a poo. Get the sieve. And I was like, nah, mate, nah. You'll feel it.

You'll feel it. Let's just hope you feel it and we'll just know we'll just know it's there she's like no we've got to get it out because the tooth fairy has got all the teeth yeah because

and we've got a little round pill box that you put the tooth fairy tooth in this was distributed by the tooth fairy and when it's got a tooth in it it sends a message

to the tooth fairy and the tooth fairy knows to come and it's there for the money only if the wifi's on yeah exactly it's one of the new units if it's not working you've got to turn everything off to come and do it for the money. Only if the Wi-Fi is on. Yeah, exactly. It's one of the new units.

If it's not working, you've got to turn everything off. Unplug it and turn it all back on again. Then if that still doesn't work, you ring your help centre. Because she needs the tooth. Exactly. No tooth in the box equals tooth fairy's not coming.

I was going to say, you could take a Polaroid of a gap and say, look, it fell out. I don't know where it is. But it's got to be the tooth in the box that activates the... Oh, yeah. Has anyone ever asked what the tooth fairy does with all these teeth? She buys them, like, essentially.

Indy's asked me. I don't know. I was like, well, you never really ask. Yeah. I haven't really thought about that. A massive pile of them. Maybe does the toothoth Fairy sell them on To Jesus

To dentists I don't know what use Jesus would have with all those teeth I don't know Reuse them Or the Easter Bunny No I was thinking

To make a factory They sell them back into the dentistry and those dentists use them to make fake folks teeth for old people But they'd be real little

It'd be old people with real little teeth No no no no They grind them down and then repass them. They're going to be made of that initial enamel, you know, that little tooth.

Is this good for you because you're saving three, two, three dollars? Well, the Tooth Fairy is saving two, three dollars. I mean, I've got no part in it. Obviously, that's what I mean, Vaughn. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, the Tooth Fairy is saving like 20 bucks. Yeah. Because that's what the Tooth Fairy gives per tooth, eh? 20 bucks? Well, I just find the tooth fairy kind of gives

whatever they've got around the house. Right. Which is, in a couple of the cases, I think the tooth fairy, more of an EFTPOS nation now, of course. Yeah, yeah. The tooth fairy's only ever had sizable notes and had to make a drastic choice

of breaking a little girl's heart or giving them way too much money for a tooth. So yeah, I mean, if there's no tooth in the box, the tooth fairy's not going to be alerted, so... Is this one for the tooth fairy?

Like the tooth fairy keeps the money in the pocket? I'd say she should be able to write a note, put it into the tooth box. But it's an exchange for goods, Fletch. Tooth fairy's not getting the goods.

Get her to craft a tooth out of like a potato Oh yeah she won't know That would be nice And then Then she's kind of giving Pull a Swifty Yeah she's got

And then yeah The tooth fairy won't know That it's not a tooth Pull a Swifty on the tooth fairy Until the tooth fairy's Left the house Pulling a Swifty on the tooth fairy Is like the start

Of a great movie Yes But then is the tooth fairy Going to come back Knocking When she realises Tooth fairy's going to send Tooth Fairy going to come back knocking when she realises? Tooth Fairy's going to send Tooth Fairy Bake Off round. That's when you go to hell. Yeah.

Hello. You ripped off the Tooth Fairy. Now we're here to take some teeth. And they baseball bat your face and take them back. They take my teeth even though I didn't try to pull a Swifty on the Tooth Fairy. Well, good luck with that one. Personally, I'd be like well, it's tough.

She's kind of like not brought it up. She's like, oh, well, we'll see. I think she's honestly waiting to poop it out. Maybe next time the Tooth Fairy can give her double.

What are you doing that to the Tooth Fairy for? You better hope she doesn't come out of the toilet one day with it in her hands. I'd actually be pretty stoked. I'd be like, got it.

Social media and other outlets went into a flat because Netflix announced it was testing video promos, which kind of made it sound like... Video promos. Excuse me, are these ads? Everyone's like, are these ads? What's happening here? An ad by any other name is an ad.

I pay good money. I pay money to not have ads. Yeah. So the idea is in between episodes of shows, so it's not going to be interrupting your episode, I guess before it rolls on to another episode because you're just sitting in bed on a Sunday and watching like 10,000 episodes of the same show.

Yeah. It will do a video promo for something else on Netflix and it will be targeted to you. Oh, you see, yeah, I'm okay with this. Because it's saying what you can watch after you've finished watching this one. And Netflix's algorithm's particularly onto it. Like it should be something of your interest.

Something that you're interested in. And that's the thing, sometimes Netflix is like very overwhelming when you browse. You know, you're trying to find something to watch. So I think I'm okay with these, but they're full screen. And it sounds as though, even though early test,

you haven't been able to skip it. It sounds as though you might be able to skip it. See, I'm okay if you can skip it. But if I've got to flow on for a show, if you're binging, I don't want to have a stop down of 30 seconds to, oh no, that could be good. You reckon?

Because sometimes I'll... Sometimes I need to run away and go wheeze between episodes. Or, like, grab something to eat or whatever. And when the credits start rolling, it's like... Because you definitely can't pause the show, eh? Start a new episode in nine. And I'm like, go! And I start running.

But if there was a little ad in there, it would give me a bit more of a buffer. Yeah. So it's definitely not ads for products or anything. It's more videos and episodes that you could bit more of a buffer. Yeah. So it's definitely not ads for products or anything. It's more videos and episodes that you could be watching of something else. You're still not sold. Yeah, no.

As long as it's not ads. I just love how it's something they want to try to show more of their content to you, but everyone's like, hang on. That's it. What's this? Why does everybody worry it's a gateway to Sam Ovens?

Are you getting some Sam Ovens advertising? Am I the only one getting some particularly targeted Sam Ovens advertising? There's a guy in New York who's all like, I've got a business and stuff. Yeah, I've seen some of those. I get targeted by two people with YouTube ads. Yeah. Sam Ovens. Yeah.

Because I've never heard of Sam Ovens. And then somebody literally wrote in a status saying, is anybody else getting Sam Ovens? I was like, never heard of him. And then for some reason, that was it. He does a tour around his office. He's like, here's a statue with laser beams coming out of it. You can have one of these if you're successful.

So that's his vibe, right? He's an investor. Is that his situation? He's a Kiwi. Or no, he's like an entrepreneur, like a something, something. Okay, I don't know. Because you don't ever get into the ads. I'm like, get out of it, Sam Ovens.

What is he advertising to you? A webinar. Like something, something. Okay, I don't know. Because you don't ever get into the ads. I'm like, get out of it, Sam Ovens. I'm Sam Ovens. What is he advertising to you? A webinar. He was like, I've got a webinar starting this. And then I was like, get out of it, Sam Ovens. And now he's gone from YouTube. He's on Facebook. Okay, right.

He's everywhere. Which is a nice break from that fishing ad that I was always getting where it was like, I've been fishing since I was 18 months old, if you ask my father. And it's about sea lord. Oh, okay. But I eat a fair bit of tinned fish. I've never been targeted with a fish ad. Have you ever had that one? No.

Sam Ovens and sea lord. That's me. That's all. Anybody wants to sell me. You're in a different demo than the rest of us. Tinned tuna and bloody financial webinars. Yeah. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. Your bloody financial webinars. Yeah.
