ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
That's not it!
Alright, bye. I work at Westpac but I'm off home to put my finger and my thumb together and put it in a circle and do it on my face.
You're not doing it right. What do they call this? What challenge
is it? Yeah, that's
it. Yes. I just
don't want to do it because everybody's doing it. That's how
I get so like, oh, I'm
not doing that.
You also can't do it. So why
did you dab just then?
I'm being stupid. I'm trying to put you off the news
aren't you?
What's Westpac saying this for?
Alright, great work
at the bank today. I'm off to play soccer.
It's an extracurricular
activity. And other things.
Because I'm a human.
They want you to leave loudly. I kind of like the
workplaces do that whole, you can start
and end at different times.
I don't think they're saying that.
No.
You can just pack up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and be like,
who's home?
Oh, they know what?
You just have to leave loudly.
Yeah, they want you to leave being like,
oh, I'm off to play indoor netball.
Hooray for having a life outside work.
Oh, keep it down.
But, like, as long as you're doing it,
it doesn't matter if you tell everyone or not, right?
You can go and play indoor netball
without telling everyone about it.
Yeah, and if you say it, then someone's going to be like,
we should start a netball team. And then
you've got to play with the Westpac Warriors rather
than the bloody bunch
of dudes you've been playing with forever.
Sure. I just think it'd be
great, you know, a great opportunity to get Westpac out
there. We could wear red uniforms.
Did she get asked to play for the bloody netball team?
Hey, the staff netball team.
I never got asked.
Did you, Anya?
No.
You're falling apart.
Every time you do something physical,
you bloody need a hip replacement.
Excuse me.
I haven't had a hip replacement, and it's better now.
I can run.
Didn't you break your leg?
No.
Into a netball a few years ago? Didn. Didn't you break your leg? No. Indoor netball a few years ago.
Didn't you do something to your foot?
No.
I feel you were in a moon boot after indoor netball once.
That's entirely not me.
Don't you remember that?
Oh, woman looked the same to me too.
Scene one, scene two.
You're like, that was Megan.
I'm pretty sure you hurt yourself.
Didn't you hurt yourself?
I don't know, officer, but the murderer had titties, so.
I mean, take it from there.
Ten years ago I hurt my knee, but I wasn't in a moon boot.
Was that when you were playing roller derby?
No.
What was your major roller derby injury?
I got groin strain.
That's right.
And what was netball?
It was knee brace.
Yeah. And mountain biking was knee brace. Yeah, I did my knee brace.
And mountain biking was broken knee.
Yeah.
And life was hip replacement.
You can see why we...
I didn't get a hip replacement.
You can see why you're not invited to the netball team.
No.
Are you kidding me?
Well, you were off work for all that time.
A periasotabular osteotomy is not a hip replacement.
Same thing, isn't it?
No, not at all.
Did they smash it and reset it?
They just reset it.
God, you guys know nothing about me.
Resetment.
Oh, we know you're always breaking.
It's still my bones.
Don't make it sound like I'm titanium.
I would have asked for new bones.
All right.
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's story time.
Three news headlines.
Vaughan and Megan pick one story only.
Headline one, ashes to ashes, mix up to mix up.
Headline two, woman thanks her lucky Norwegian stars.
And headline three, Toe-E-Toe's more than car.
Those are the headlines today.
Oh, wee.
That's a good batch.
I really like one.
Someone's ashes have been mixed up.
Yeah.
I always thought like, granted I'm not an overly spiritual person
and in no way religious, but yeah.
What do you like?
Just not at all.
Overly spiritual.
Chuck me in the bin.
I hope I die on a Thursday
so I can be put out with Friday's rubbish.
Ours is Monday.
Oh, well, I hope I die on a Sunday.
Actually, no, ours is every day, I think.
What?
Every day.
Because we've got a rubbish bin room
in the apartment block.
And I think they come every day.
Oh, you're on a private...
Yeah, they're private people.
They just have like five bins
and they do them every couple of days.
But if I'm rubbish days on Friday and I die on a Monday,
you're going to have to keep me in the fridge
so I don't start to stink.
Because that's why...
Do you ever get a hot chicken,
but you're like, well, it's not rubbish day.
Oh, well, you're rubbish days every day.
But you get a hot chicken on a Sunday
and you don't finish it all,
you're like, well, I'm just going to keep it
in the fridge till rubbish day
because you don't want it to stink.
That is such a mum thing to do.
Or maybe you put it
in the bin
and it reeks
especially in summer
and then the flies get in.
And the dogs.
Go rubbish bag.
Oh story time.
Mixing it.
Oh yeah I was just saying
if you got your mixed up
grandad's ashes
like does it matter?
Probably not.
Not really.
You'd never know eh.
Just don't tell them.
It's all ashy.
What's the Norwegian Stars one, though?
Thanks for Lucky.
Thanks for Norwegian Stars.
Woman, thanks for Lucky Norwegian Stars.
And the other one was?
Toe-ee-toes more than car.
Can we just have a brief overview of all of them?
Yeah.
They all sound pretty great.
No.
So the ashes is just mixed up ashes?
Sure.
Sure.
Wrong.
Okay, so let's skip that one.
What was number three?
The Towie.
We kind of solved it.
Towie toes more than car.
Kind of want to know what he's toed.
What?
I've got the hiccups.
I thought we'd skipped.
He thought the radio was skipping.
We're having transmission errors.
Yeah.
What are we going?
The Towie.
The Towie.
Yeah, okay.
Toes more than cars.
Okay, all right, standby. I'm just going to click open this link here. I mean, we going? The Towie. The Towie. Yeah, okay. Towie's more than cars. Okay, all right, stand by.
I'm just going to click open this link here.
I mean, you could have had totally had that.
If I was to Google the stars, what would I Google?
I reckon.
To be honest, I thought you were going one or two.
I only opened the first two stories.
I thought story three was self-explanatory.
What was he going?
No, because I want to know what he towed.
What's that?
He towed more than something.
We don't know what it was.
Because have you ever see one of those trucks
that's made to tow other trucks,
that's pretty good stuff.
Well, there was a pizza delivery guy
in Glendale Heights.
Glendale Heights sounds like something
of Grand Theft Auto.
Glendale?
Yeah, Glendale Heights.
It's in Illinois.
Illinois.
Illinois.
And this guy was delivering pizza
he had his son with him
okay
now his son is
11
with Down Syndrome
oh my god
and he was inside the vehicle
waiting for his dad
to make the
pizza delivery
when
the car was towed
where was he?
was he hiding in the back seat?
because surely you'd see him
at some stage.
Well, yeah, I would have thought so.
Maybe he was just like slouched down or something.
But he, yeah, wasn't seen.
So, yeah, apparently the guy pulled up to park.
The son was sitting in the back.
The pizza driver, the man said he gave his son the phone.
He said, stay here.
Here's the phone.
I'll be a couple of minutes.
When he came out, the car was gone.
People inside had told him a tow truck driver
had hooked it up and towed it away.
My God.
Yeah, but he might have been scared.
Yeah, that's very true.
Yeah, true.
So apparently he took off from the parking lot
and had to run up at the traffic lights
and say, bang on the window and say,
oi, oi, there's a kid inside the car.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Did he have to pay?
I don't think so.
They're not allowed to tow you if someone's in the car, right?
Well, anyway, the driver, because, you know, we all hate towies, don't we?
I mean, I know they're people too, but he's actually been charged,
52-year-old man, with endangerment of a child in reckless conduct.
Because he left him in the car.
Or the tow truck driver towed him with...
Wait, who's the 52-year-old?
The tow truck driver or the dad?
Who got charged?
Actually, yeah, I need to...
Hang on.
Because I'm pretty sure the tow truck driver.
Oh, right.
Because the dad left a kid unattended in a vehicle.
I know whilst all of our parents did it,
it's a bit of a no-no.
He's 11.
That's crazy.
Yeah, I know, but you can't leave a child
unsupervised
under the age of
whatever it is.
14 in New Zealand, I think.
20, 21.
But yeah,
I didn't think they were allowed
to tow if there was
someone in the car.
That's your...
Or if anyone's in the car
because I didn't think
they were allowed
to hoist it up.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Is the Norwegian star
one that lady
that fell off
the Norwegian star
cruise ship
and got rescued?
Yes, it is.
I heard about her too.
10 hours in the water.
Great pun.
I would never have picked up
thanks to Norwegian stars.
She would be anti-thing
in the Norwegian star
because they didn't
turn around and get it.
Very true.
But yeah, 10 hours at sea.
She had a life ring though.
So that would have helped. Oh, that's cheating. Yeah. Well, she wasn't treading yeah, 10 hours at sea. She had a life ring though. So that would have helped her.
Oh, that's cheating.
Yeah.
Well, she wasn't treading water for 10 hours.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm not impressed anymore.
If you're going to spend 10 hours at sea, you've got to do it off your own back.
I saw the photo of her getting rescued and she had a life ring.
I was like, oh, well.
Was it cold?
Was the water cold?
Well, it's summer over there.
Oh, so she just had a 10-hour swim.
She'll be wrinkly.
Basically, yeah.
Billie Eilish, Carly at ZM.
Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way, yeah
But you never go away
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope someday I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night
Oh, I may just need a place to hide
But I can't find one that wouldn't feel alive
Outside, I can't find my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Walking out of town
Looking for a better place
Something's on my mind
Always in my head space
But I know someday I'll make it
I don't feel even if it takes all night I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night
A hundred years need a place to hide
But I can't find one
If I wanna feeling alive Outside, I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Take me to pieces, skin and bone
Hello, welcome home ZM, Fletch, Warnamegan, it's 17 past six.
The top six is coming up.
Yeah, the top six things Katie Perry brought at Sylvia Park yesterday.
Spotted shopping at Sylvia Park.
What was she wearing?
She was wearing like a bumper jacket and a scarf and a beanie.
So she must have been feeling the cold. She was cold. Being undercover. Right, okay. Not that she was cold. She was wearing like a puffer jacket and a scarf and a beanie. So she must have been feeling the cold.
She was trying to be undercover.
Right, okay.
Not that she was cold.
She was just undercover.
Yeah.
Right, okay.
Looked weird.
I just thought weird.
Fashion guru.
Carl Fletcher.
I'm just used to seeing her like all in crazy, wacky,
and you see her in a puffer jacket.
It just sounds like anyone in Wellington.
Crushed your chore.
I'm in New Zealand.
Anywhere in New Zealand.
Fletcher's just watching a video.
Is this CCTV footage of that bridge collapse?
Yes.
Because Fletcher's turned to me and said,
oh, this Genoa bridge is about to collapse.
And I was like, well, I've got bad news for you,
actually, a little bit behind on that.
But they've released CCTV footage of it.
Well, it's at the start of the bridge, yeah.
So you see, you just basically see a whole lot of dust and rubble.
But I don't think they've actually got a shot of like a wide shot yet.
It looks like an explosion.
It's crazy.
When it went off.
Insane.
In Britain, one in five people are avoiding going to the GP
because they are worried about getting a lecture about their health.
One in five? Yeah. I was going to do a percentage, but I don't know what it is. the GP because they are worried about getting a lecture about their health. So
One in five?
Yeah.
I was going to do a percentage
but I don't know what it is.
That's bad.
20%
20% of British people
are not going to the doctor
because they are scared
they're going to be told
to like change their lifestyle.
It's like the dentist
but you go
because you're in
a lot of pain
but I always get the why aren't you flossing lecture.
Oh, I did.
I started two days ago.
You were there.
When did you last floss?
Mate, you were here, so.
I just need to remember the last time I was in.
But even if you have the mankiest teeth, like, it's not going to kill you, is it?
You can get them fixed, even if, like, it's really, really bad.
It might financially cripple you though.
But like if you've got, so
some of these people have symptoms
that can be quite serious and
still they're like, they're going to tell
me to stop smoking or like change
my diet or I'm going to need to do some exercise
and they don't want the lecture. So they're just not going
to the GP. So they don't go.
It's so bad.
If you aren't going to the GP because of that,
you probably know you've got a problem.
And you should be the one going to the GP, right?
And then even if you do go and they tell you to make the change,
you're probably not going to.
You need to stop smoking.
Yep.
I will.
Okay, I will.
Until I get home and then I'm going to start again.
Yeah.
Or you just tell them that you already have.
Because you know how smokers don't realise that they actually, you can smell them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And get away with another cheeky durry and everyone around you is like.
We can smell it, mate.
That's rough.
That wasn't sneaky at all.
That is rough.
That's, um.
That's really bad.
Yeah.
That's, because that's, is that one of the main reasons New Zealand had such a problem
with male cancers in particular for a while
is because New Zealand men were horrendous at going to the doctor,
ignoring symptoms.
Nothing's falling off.
I'll be all right.
She'll be all right, mate.
Harden up.
Nah, nah, nah.
This happened to my dad too.
He lived to the ripe old age of 50.
But New Zealand guys are getting better though, aren't they?
They are.
I think.
You just collect a whole bunch of things and go at once.
So if you need like anything you need and like write down,
I've got a mole there, I've got like sore ear, I need some Panadol.
Come on, how bung are you?
No, I'm just saying you collect everything.
You make a shopping list of anything that could possibly be wrong
and then go. And get to the doctor.
Just to save you going multiple times.
And when you sit down and they're like, what can I help you with
today? Just go, okay, hang on, get
your list out. That's what you do.
And I'm balding.
And I'm going to leave it there.
Oh, hold on, what else have I got on the list?
Sometimes I struggle just like to get it up.
Get anything for that.
Just go through your encyclopedia of stuff that's bothered you lately.
Bit fat, I don't know.
You got any of that Zinacal stuff?
Smell sometimes.
I don't know if you've got anything.
Deodorant.
Do you have deodorant?
And the missus wants some milk, so I don't know.
I left the house. I had to live with a list.
The Top 6
with Vaughan Smith.
Hello there.
Today's Top 6. The Top 6 things Katy Perry
bought at Sylvia Park yesterday. Spotted
at
one of New Zealand's largest malls.
Is it the largest still?
I don't know. Maybe when it was opened, it was all like, we're the biggest.
But then everyone's like, you're the longest.
I know, long and skinny doesn't mean like, yeah.
It's a long way to walk.
Yeah.
You walk up one side, back down the other.
But then if it was like a bit chody, you'd be still a lot of walking.
I think I'd rather do the around thing.
Okay, you'd rather a girthier one.
I'm fine with it long
because then shopping can be my cardio.
Right, you're getting over there.
Yeah.
Getting some steps in.
Yeah.
All right.
It's also like one floor
apart from the movies,
which are upstairs.
Yeah.
So not...
When they go up?
I don't know.
I think they're building more stuff out there.
Oh, instructions.
And it's under a motorway.
There's a couple of stores up.
Again, there's a motorway as well.
There's a pesky motorway in the way.
Yeah.
So the top six things Katy Perry bought when she was spotted at Sylvia Park yesterday.
Number six, a pair of socks from the Sock Island.
$3 for a pair of socks or four for 10.
Yes, please.
Are you just making up Sock Island prices?
Oh, I don't know.
Last time I wore socks from there,
I'm pretty sure I paid $3 for a pair of socks.
Okay.
It wasn't the high end.
Oh, right.
Okay, expensive.
But what does a guy like me need a $5 pair of socks for?
Madness.
What am I, the Prime Minister?
You're a $3 pair of sock guy.
At max.
Number five on the list of the top six things Katy Perry bought at Sylvia Park yesterday, Madness What am I The Prime Minister You're a $3 pair of sock guy At max Number 5
On the list of the top 6
Things Katy Perry
Bought at Sylvia Park yesterday
A massage chair
From that place
Always trying to
Hawk massage chairs
With bonus
Vibrating platform thing
That you stand on
Yeah
Like
It just jiggles your fat
I know
Makes you feel real bad
About yourself
It's like
Stay on it for 10 minutes
And you'll lose some weight
It's like No I've been on it for 10 seconds and I feel awful.
A shark.
And they can't sell them, so they just chuck them in with the big chairs
when somebody, God knows who, an airport presumably,
buys a massage chair.
Number four on the list of the top six things Katie Perry bought
at Sylvia Park yesterday, a chicken korma with garlic naan
and a Diet Coke.
$10 lunch special.
You'd be mad not to get the whole special.
Again, are you making up lunch special prices?
No.
And a Diet Coke because I'm okay with the fat content but not sugar.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Well, she's on keto.
Yeah.
I don't know if chicken korma is keto.
No.
I mean, the chicken would be keto.
And so would the butter.
And the korma.
And the cream.
Not the rice, though.
Not the rice.
Yeah.
Bloody rice.
Sometimes I could just do like a soup and dip my naan in that.
Like, I don't even want the chicken.
Hold the chicken.
I just want the butter chicken sauce.
And I'd just dip a naan in that.
I'd be happy.
I'd be content.
That's a good side option.
Yeah.
That's a good like...
Naan and gravy.
Yeah.
Like a potato and gravy.
It's a naan and gravy.
It's a naan and gravy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's thinking outside the box.
Imagine dipping a KFC bun or chips into butter chicken sauce.
That'd be pretty good.
Like a thick chip.
Yeah.
Indian sauce would be a top notch.
Good thinking.
Yeah.
See, look at that.
That just happened.
That was magic.
Number three on the list of the top six things
Katy Perry bought at Sylvia Park yesterday,
that climbing harness.
What?
You know, you go to Sylvia Park.
There's a climbing
harness and there's a guy hanging. I don't think it's
outside like an adventure
store or something. Is it
Kathmandu?
There's a guy and it just annoys me every time.
It's just display. It's just a mannequin
that's abseiling.
Like is it for sale
or what? Do they have to bring that in
every night when they close?
Oh, if you can steal the mannequin
and the harness, you deserve it.
I don't think there'd be
any punishment put forward.
But she purchased it,
so thank God.
I wanted to see that
next time I go to the films.
Number two on the list
of the top six things
Katy Perry bought
at Sylvia Park yesterday.
She popped into the warehouse
and bought the Katy Perry album.
Because it's not selling, like, really great. She just into the warehouse and bought the Katy Perry album because it's not selling
like really great.
She just thought
while she's here
she'd boost the business.
Right.
Local sales.
Why not?
And the number one thing
Katy Perry bought
at Sylvia Park yesterday
a gift voucher
because once she got there
she was like
I can't decide what to buy.
I'll just get them
a gift voucher
and they can
sort themselves out.
God, why did I come here?
Every time, it's so busy.
It's such a long way to walk.
Why didn't I just let Sade come by herself?
God, I wish I'd just gone to the movies
the minute we got here.
I might be projecting my issues on to Katy Perry.
You might be, yeah.
I might be.
At least Sade's gone with Katy Perry before.
I'd be okay with it.
Because at least then I wouldn't have to go.
That's today's top six.
FEM.
ZM.
Ah, man, when you read the headline,
surface shot, surface shot at,
you assume it's overseas,
but it happened right here in New Zealand.
This is a crazy story.
It's, excuse me,
Taharoa, which is south of Carthia,
which is south of Raglan. Okay. Which is west of Hamilton, which is south of Carthia, which is south of Raglan.
Okay.
Which is west of Hamilton, which is south of Auckland.
Yeah.
On the west coast.
On the west coast.
Well, if you'd followed my directions, you'd know you're on the west coast.
Yeah.
If you had a map in front of you.
They weren't confusing at all.
No, no.
Well, I run a tight orienteering ship.
If you can't keep up, you die in the bush.
I don't think I've ever been there, but I've heard it's pretty remote
or it's pretty small, isn't it?
It's really remote.
Like, Carthage is pretty remote.
Yep.
And rugged, like really West Coast rugged.
But this area is even more isolated.
It's kind of away in from the south and away in from the north
and it's pretty isolated.
But there's a point called Albatross Point,
which is apparently great for surfing,
but to get there, you pretty much have to jet ski.
Oh, okay.
You have to jet ski around the point,
and then you get to the spot on the west coast that's good for surfing.
Now, that's where three people were surfing,
two older men and a 14-year-old were surfing
when bullets started hitting the water around them.
Now, given its isolation, you would imagine the police.
Oh, this is not.
Probably won't take the top ranking detectives to work out
whom was shooting the gun and where from, right?
Yeah, the idiot.
So apparently this person, it's not the first time,
fishermen were in the area angling,
which is when it's off the shore
Not a boat right
Yeah yeah yeah
It's like surf casting
And they said they got bullets around them as well
They heard gunshots
What is wrong with it
Someone just doesn't want them on their bit of area
What they say is their land
Yeah that's the intimidation tactics
Oh yeah they're not trying to hit them though, right?
Well, they're a bad shot because they've taken a few
and not hit anybody. But even then
you don't want to run the risk, do you?
No. God no.
Of shooting at somebody.
So, yeah.
She's literally the Wild West.
Literally the Wild West on the West Coast.
There's some cowboys out there, so be careful.
And a 14-year-old who's obviously been pretty freaked out by it,
surfing with Dad, and someone starts popping off guns.
Well, I'll give it until the end of, what do you reckon, today?
They would have caught someone?
Well, I'm willing to go down and investigate
as long as we can stop for a whitebait fritter and coffee.
Do they have whitebait fritters?
Pretty good whitebait fritters, too.
Pretty good whitebait fritters. Oh, and ice cream. Oh, yeah fritter? Pretty good whitebait fritters too. Pretty good whitebait
fritters.
Oh and ice cream.
Oh yeah good ice cream.
Good sized ice cream.
We can do both.
We can do both.
Okay.
13 to 7.
I'm not washing the
car when we get back.
Lots of gravel roads
down that way.
I'm not washing the
car.
Fletchbourne and
Megan's Community
Notices.
Hello and welcome to
Community Notices,
a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around New Zealand
according to local Facebook pages.
Let's just get straight into it.
Okay.
Let's go for a lost pets.
This is a lost and found pets in Christchurch.
Tamara writes, this is probably a long shot,
but has anybody lost a piglet?
Most likely in the Belfast area.
Seems like a pet.
It's wearing a blue jumper.
Oh, my God.
Please flick me a message.
Was there photos?
So cute.
No photos, but somebody said,
oh, my God, that sounds gorgeous.
Piglet in a blue jumper, just like Winnie the Pooh.
Gorgeous.
And Tamara says it is gorgeous.
Sadly, it didn't make it through the night.
Been trying to look for the owner all day
but it has passed away. Is that the
sad one? I told you I wouldn't do the sad one last.
Oh.
Why did it pass away? You're kidding me.
It died. And someone's like,
this is not what I needed today. I said, yes,
it's very sad. Now I just want
to reunite the piglet who was
obviously so loved with its owner because
it had a purpose.
Why did it die?
Did they not feed it?
No, it just passed.
I don't know if they found it dead in its blue jumper or it passed away.
I told you.
You said sad.
You opted for the sad one.
Yeah, but that's, no, I don't know.
I was expecting sad like, I don't know, like old person sad died or something.
Not a cute little piglet.
They all just got a dead piglet and a blue jumper.
Okay, moving on.
This is another lost pet.
Nikki writes on the Rolleston community page,
anybody found a swan in their backyard or walk in the streets around
Rolleston, please let me know.
Lost pet.
Happy to report.
That's not a pet.
A pet swan.
You can't have a pet swan.
They go wherever they want.
Yeah, and they're assholes.
I know, they're awful.
You wait.
Nikki writes, back home now.
Thanks to everybody for your help.
Thanks, Renee, for looking after her.
Hopefully she'll be happy now.
And then look, there's a picture of the swan in the kitchen.
In the kitchen?
What the hell?
How nuts is that?
No.
How nuts is that?
It's a black swan.
On your kitchen tiles.
I know.
That was a huge pose.
It's the worst part about them being everywhere at Western Springs,
that and how aggressive they are.
Yeah.
Many public park with large, pesky birds.
Yeah.
Let's go to Papakura now, where Shane writes,
to the man or woman who chose to have a domestic at the Indian restaurant last night,
here's a suggestion for you.
Take it elsewhere.
My wife and 11-year-old daughter did not need to be
listening to that language or about your sex life,
sex toys, and who is
doing what behind each other's back via Tinder.
You ruined a lovely family dinner
and my chicken korma naan
combo.
Wow. And
multiple other people saying, oh my god, that was
something, right? So it must have been a scene.
What?
Must have been a real scene. What were they arguing
about? Just general...
Bringing into...
You find out your partner's cheating on you, you don't drag
them down to the local Little India to rip
strips off them. No!
Do that behind closed doors.
I mean, rightly so. If they've cheated on you, get into them.
But don't do it at
where people are trying to enjoy delicious Indian food.
It's two mentions of Indian food in the last hour.
I'm going to have to have it for dinner tonight.
That's good stuff.
This is also from East Auckland.
Judith writes, hello all.
Just wanting your thoughts.
What's the rule on using a Nutribullet?
My neighbour's been yelling at me to be quiet at 8am
when using my Nutribullet to make a smoothie.
8am, that's more than acceptable.
I used to blend mine at like 4.30 in the morning
and I had a very close neighbour.
That's cruel.
But how bad is the insulation?
How loud are Nutribullets?
They're so loud
Especially if you have chunky bits in there
Yeah, they're like
Oh, this thing spins at 12 million RPM
On the ad
What they don't tell you
Is that it also blares out at 12 million decibels
True
Really?
8 o'clock though, that's fine
Yeah, get out of bed
That's 7 till
Is it 7 till 9?
Or when's the acceptable noise limits?
For like I thought it finished at 7.30 Is it seven till nine? Or when's the acceptable noise limits?
For like... I thought it finished at 7.30.
After 7.30, you're allowed to make noise, aren't you?
I don't know.
But I think we should all make submissions to our local council
to get bylaws in place for noisy blenders.
That's right.
They'd love to deal with that.
Be it a Nutribullet or other.
And finally today, somebody said,
this is an Onehunga.
It came in from the Neighbourly app.
Sadly, earlier today, I saw a grey cat deceased
laid on the grass verge on the corner of Quadrant Road and Grey Street.
Stop it!
It's a possum.
It didn't have a collar on.
Thought I'd post it in case someone was looking for their lovely pet.
Cheryl writes, it was outside my property.
I thought it was a cat, but my neighbour and I have discussed
and poked it with a stick and found out it's a possum.
Poked it with a stick.
I'm glad because you just poked it with a stick.
What do you reckon it is?
So this is Cheryl.
I can imagine her name is like Carol.
What do you reckon it is, Carol?
I don't know, Cheryl.
Grab that stick and give it a good poke.
Roll it over.
And then multiple other people saying,
oh yeah, I saw that this morning.
Definitely a possum. Somebody else said, yes, can confirm. I saying, oh yeah, I saw that this morning. Definitely a possum.
Somebody else said, yes, can confirm.
I've been down for a look outside your place.
That's a possum.
Like there was some sort of,
well, you know, Cheryl,
you can't trust her to identify a creature.
We all better go for a look.
Yeah.
Those are today's community notices.
If you see anything on your local Facebook page,
screen cap it and send it to ours.
F-E-M-Z-M on Facebook.
F-E-M-Z-M.
Now, apparently, according to Sky News, here's a statistic.
Global sales of dumb phones, so not smartphones,
so phones that you can only text and receive calls on.
Like, do you know last year Spark brought back the Nokia 3310
with Snake and stuff?
Yeah.
So it's all just texting calls, really, on those.
Sales of dumb phones went up 5% last year,
while smartphone sales only rose by 2%.
So apparently there is quite a movement of people
ditching smartphones for dumb phones
because they're just sick of being always connected.
They're sick of always having email.
They're sick of the notifications.
They just want a phone that if people really need a text or call them on
they can. Old mates do you think?
Yeah pretty bit of that maybe
Yeah
Who got talked into like a smart phone
by their provider
or their kids
Cause I'm always telling
my dad
get a new one and make sure you can send photos and
receive photos that I send to you.
But he's got a smartphone. Yeah, no, he's got a smartphone
but he misses the old dumb phone.
Oh, does he? Oh, no, it's a good smartphone.
I couldn't go back to texting on a dumb phone.
No. You know, like the AIA, you've got to
press the button three times just to write
him, nah, it's too much.
I don't think I would miss all the notifications
and everything, but it's the photos.
Like, you can't take photos or upload them on the go.
You can't send them to people, you know?
Do you know what would be a good feature for a smartphone?
It's got flight mode, like, dumb mode.
Dumb mode, yeah.
And it just dumbs it down super basic,
and you can just turn it on to dumb mode,
and it can just receive texts, make calls.
Well, I guess you can do that anyway.
Just turn off notifications and delete apps.
No, but you can always see the apps.
You don't want to delete them because you want the convenience of them being there.
I'm saying the screen changes and the screen just looks like a really basic screen.
Okay.
Am I on to something?
Yeah, you might be on to something.
Can't you just turn off data?
No, but you can still see the app.
So you'd be opening the app, so it'll be like, you've got to turn on data.
You just go like, okay.
It would literally, yeah, change your phone look.
Just to being really basic and stripped back.
Yeah, right.
Just for the time period that you wanted.
Like a factory, like when you first get your smartphone and nothing's on it.
No.
Apart from the basics, like you've got your map.
Super basic, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
What do you reckon?
Damn it, that sounds like a good idea.
I'm totally down for it.
Could be onto something.
Tim Cook's email.
Tim at dot cook at apple dot com.
Dot com, I think so, yeah.
At iCloud dot com.
He'll just be Tim at Apple.
Tim at Apple dot com.
Oh, he will.
Imagine if there was a Tim
before he got there.
Oh.
Surely he made them change to like Tim W at Apple dot com.com. Oh, he will. I imagine if there was a Tim before he got there. Oh.
Surely he made them change to like Tim W
at apple.com.
Yeah.
He's like,
well, I'm Tim.
I'm Tim,
so get out of it.
I'm the top Tim.
Yeah.
Unless he changes his name
to toptim
at apple.com.
Either way,
look,
flick him an email, mate.
I'm sure he'd really appreciate
to get an email
from a stranger.
You know,
you can have people
in your social circles
and forgive them of certain things.
Okay.
Yeah.
Differing tastes,
how they remember certain items
that you're particularly nostalgic about.
What?
Did you say you can excuse them
for certain things?
Yeah.
When do you two ever do that?
You make your opinions very well known.
No, no, no.
We will go in hot,
but we will always.
They're like,
I'm thinking about dot, dot, dot.
Absolutely not.
Yeah.
Well, we don't want you to make a bad decision in life, Megan.
We'll certainly give you an opinion.
Or a decision that's different to what you would do.
You let them know your opinion,
but you forgive them for being silly and thinking it in the first place.
No one said it was going to be easy being perfect
and there wasn't going to be hurdles to jump,
but we're doing the best we can.
So there are certain things that are unforgivable
in a friend group.
And the following, I will tell you,
shook the entire show.
Yeah.
Both in studio and in producer's booth.
Do you know this, Stunner,
because I just revealed to the group that I, for the
very first time, tried the dumplings
with soup inside. Soup dumplings.
Soup dumplings. Have you ever had soup dumplings?
Do they just pop in your mouth? Yeah, but you've
got to be careful. Yes, you've got to be very
careful with temperature.
You've got to make sure they can be balls of lava.
Like a hot tomato.
And yeah, they're just like
encased. The skill involved in a soup tomato. It's amazing.. And yeah, they're like encased.
The skill involved in a soup tomato.
Making that.
Yeah, making the dumpling.
You put it in your folder.
You do the crimp.
That can be quite hard to get the right crimp.
Oh, yeah.
I know.
And then it's just, they're incredible.
And I can't believe I've waited all this time in my adult life to have soup dumplings.
I've had many dumplings many times.
And then we were just talking about dumplings
and how fantastic dumplings are.
And, you know, if you're going to eat one thing for the rest of your life,
dumplings could very well be.
Because you can put anything in a dumpling.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I've never had a dessert dumpling.
Haven't you?
No.
Are those ones that have ice cream, are they dumplings?
A dessert dumpling.
If it's encased in pastry, a mango,
there's a thing called a mango pancake.
Now, technically, it's a dumpling. Oh, yeah. Oh, right, okay. Because it's encased in pastry, a mango, there's a thing called a mango pancake. Now technically it's a dumpling.
Oh, right. Okay.
Because it's encased in a sweet. Oh, they're amazing.
This is why we're good friends.
Because we love dumplings together. Dumplings and
Mexican. Eh? Yep. Now if they
could nail a Mexican dumpling.
Oh my God, you could totally do that.
Easy. Dipping in some sour cream.
Yeah.
What about guacamole?
Yes.
Okay, we're there.
We're there.
So we're talking about the world's perhaps most versatile and greatest food, the dumpling.
Yeah.
When intern Anya pipes up with something that shocked us, what did you say?
Count me out.
You're anti the dumpling.
Nah, get out of it.
I'm not a fan.
What happened to you?
It's I don't have time for a flaccid, soggy delicacy.
What about a little pot sticker?
One side's like cooked.
What about a pan fried dumpling?
Shall I fried dumpling?
No.
Steamed dumpling?
No, I'll do a money bag from the local Thai,
and that is it, my friends.
Oh, God.
Because it's deep fried.
Money bags are dumplings that dropped out when they were 14.
Yummity yum yum.
But you called them slimy.
Is it the texture you don't like?
It's the slime.
Also, like, don't try and make mince flesh, I reckon.
You know?
It's just, like, chopped up ingredients.
It doesn't have to be mince.
It could be, like, anything.
Oh, no.
Like, shredded things.
It doesn't need to be minced.
I mean, I've got all the time in the world for anything that anybody puts in a dumpling.
I've not tried a dumpling I didn't like.
Like, even vegetarian.
You know, this might shock you.
Even vegetarian dumplings are up my alley.
You know, when I eat, if there's no meat,
I'm like, I've not quite had a meal.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I need some
like prawn dumplings and some pork dumplings
to accompany the vegetarian dumplings,
but I don't mind a vegetarian dumpling.
And you're just anti-dumpling.
I'm all not a fan.
No, because they're kind of the buzz at the moment, aren't they?
They're all humming about town.
All my friends are like, oh, we better go to this dumpling place.
I don't think so.
But dumplings are buzzing about town.
They are buzzing.
And I'm just, nah.
I'll meet you guys after for a proper cooked snack, okay?
But she's not even much of a fan of like pasta, because it's slimy.
So, we can't
listen to you. No, but I'll eat pasta
and I can appreciate the taste, but dumplings
just miss me. What about a rice paper
roll?
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
How is that any different? Well, it's tastier.
Well, it's different, but... It's way different, guys.
I think you've only eaten a bland dumpling.
Also, I don't want to eat out of a basket.
What's wrong with a basket?
Do you mean a bamboo steamer?
Yeah, yeah.
That's what she eats.
Not a washing basket full of dumplings,
which I would still eat out of a pig basket, by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
I would still eat a dumpling out of a pig basket.
What about a steamed pork bun?
Is that what we had at Yum Cha that time?
Yeah, the steamed one with the pork in the middle.
Yeah, all right, all right.
You got me there.
Yeah, that's what I had in the basket.
Yeah, it was pretty tasty.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
This is the fussiest eater.
Good stuff.
Unbelievable.
We need to take you to a dumpling place.
We need to hit the dumpling.
We need to hit some straight up dumplings.
Only if they're crispy, crunchy and fried chicken.
Then I'll go.
You're not describing dumplings now.
Most people who go on a diet, this is some depressing news.
Most people who go on a diet will regain 50% of the weight they lost in the first year after losing it.
And then most of it within the following three years.
That is depressing.
Not that you should, like, you know, give up your healthy eating.
You know, there's always opportunity to prove it wrong.
What do you expect?
You change your way of living for a period of time
and then just go back to how you were living when you weighed that much
and expect it not to come back on by something magical.
But you gradually realise that, yeah, you do like chippies.
I love chippies.
Chippies are so yum.
Yeah.
But they have done a study and found there is some habits
that healthy people who lose weight and manage to keep it off do.
Right, okay.
So these habits are things that we should do
to keep our weight and check it and stuff.
Okay.
You sound like you're about to read this list
and it's like real boring and sad.
Kind of, yeah.
So keep to a routine.
If you eat roughly at the same time each day,
you avoid snacking
because then you know that next meal's coming
and you get into a routine.
Yep.
Two, go for healthy fats.
Oh, but healthy fats aren't yummy fats. Yep. Two, go for healthy fats. Oh, but healthy fats
aren't yummy fats. Fat.
And you need to tell your mum this.
It says avocados, because
all mums and everything, they're like, oh, that's fatty.
You can't eat that. It's good for you.
Nuts, fats, oily fish.
This loaf of bread that I'm eating here
is slathered in margarine. I mean, the 80s
told me one thing. It's that grains are at the
bottom of the food pyramid, and margarine is better mean, the 80s told me one thing. It's that grains are at the bottom of the food pyramid
and margarine is better than butter.
Another habit is walk 10,000 steps a day.
They were like, if you find like going for an actual walk,
making time for that hard,
maybe get off one stop earlier on the bus or on the train.
No one's doing that.
I had a walking race with Ross Boss yesterday.
Yeah.
So he's like 12 foot tall. It's like a speed
walk. So it's really
hard stuff.
Almost like a run but it's
not. Well the thing about running is
that it's because you spring but this you
really have to control and you have to make your hips
work. Right. So maybe
it may be a nice fast brisk walk. Yeah I'm going to
tip my hat next time I see someone you know a couple
of mums out for a power walk.
I'm going to be like, I tried that once.
Quite tough.
Pack healthy snacks.
So take fruit instead of like chippies and stuff.
Look at the labels.
Check the fat, sugar,
because there's lots of hidden sugar in everything you eat.
Because sugar's the real one, eh, that gets you.
That's the one that makes you put on the weight.
Oh, all right, Pete, calm down.
Watch your portions.
So they said use smaller plates because then you can put less on it.
And then afterwards, instead of going for like round two,
have a drink of water and wait five minutes.
And then it sinks down and then you're like,
maybe I don't need a second helping.
But that's why you've got to eat so fast.
I know.
Because your stomach, your brain won't catch up.
Oh, it's so bad.
I eat so fast. Yeah, it's bad. And you catch up. I'm so bad. I eat so fast.
It's bad. You're like, still hungry, go back
for more. And now it's like Christmas Day.
I'm rolling around on the couch.
Think about your drinks. Choose water instead of
anything else. Vodka.
Well, no. Vodka's low in calories.
Isn't it?
And if you drink enough vodka quick enough,
you'll be dead or passed out before
pudding.
So you're not eating pudding. Slow down and you're quick enough, you'll be dead or passed out before pudding soon.
So you're not eating pudding.
Bingo.
Slow down while you're eating because if you're distracted
as well,
like if you're watching TV
while you're eating,
your internal cues
don't register
how much food you've had.
Because you're too busy
watching the show.
It's that way.
Mum's always like,
you can't stand to eat.
You've got to sit down.
You've got to sit down
to eat.
Because then you're not concentrating on eating.
Force it through.
Force it through. And lastly,
take note of your five servings of
fruit and veggies a day. Because sometimes
you're like, have I eaten anything green today?
I always find like a
burger has like quite a
light tomato, lettuce. I always
think that. Onion. Protein.
You need carbs. That's the bun. And then there's salad. So good for you. It's an all-round meal. I always think that. Onion. Protein. You need carbs.
That's the bun.
And then there's salad.
So good for you.
It's an all-round meal.
Five plus a day.
Exactly.
Oh, and the gherkins.
That's a vegetable.
That took it up to five.
Done.
Easy.
And then the chips.
Those are potatoes.
Six.
FVM, the podcast.
I'm so embarrassed to talk about this.
Because it's so...
Can I preface this by saying this is not at all me.
I don't ever do this and I'm really embarrassed by it.
Okay.
But so we filmed Mr. Toy...
It's weird me calling him that.
My husband, Mr. Toy Boys.
Yeah.
Music video.
Thank you for addressing him.
With the hot bikini model, we've been through that bit.
Yeah.
It was awkward.
But it costs like
a lot of money to,
especially like
New Zealand musicians,
it costs a lot of money
because you have to
fund it yourself
unless you get
New Zealand On Air funding
which we didn't get.
Thanks, New Zealand On Air.
Well, no thanks.
No thanks, New Zealand On Air.
Oh, I thought it was
very much a,
that was a sarcastic thanks.
Oh, right, okay.
But yeah,
if you don't,
then you fund it yourself.
And so,
we needed all the fancy gear Like you know
Video equipment's expensive
And we don't own any
So you have to hire some
So
He went to a place
To get
We needed a big projector thingy
Yeah
And
We didn't
We obviously don't have one
We don't know anyone who has one
so he went to hire one. Yeah.
I was like, okay, sweet as, we'll hire
it for the day, just a short period of time
and
he
may have told
a wee fiblet
to get a wee discount
on the projector
and he said that he was a university student doing a project.
Mr. Toy Boy.
To see if he's like, so would you be able to do it like at a cheaper rate?
He loves a cheaper rate though, eh?
Where were we when he wanted a cheaper rate on something?
And I was like, hello there.
Is it the South African in him maybe? Maybe. I don't know. Maybe. Yeah, okay, hello there. Is it the South African
in him maybe?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Maybe.
I've got,
yeah,
I get so clammy about it.
I get so awkward asking
or if I'm with people
that are like
trying to haggle
and do a discount.
I just find it so,
my Dutch family
and Dutch friends,
the Dutch are shockers
at going for a haggle.
It's like,
we are not at the markets,
you can't hang out.
No, I know.
We're just here for coffee and a slice and you're trying to get a dollar off for a combo. That's not how it worksle. It's like, we are not at the markets. You can't hang out here. No, I know. We're just here for coffee and a slice
and you're trying to get a dollar off for a combo.
That's not how it works.
He's always like, they'll just say no.
And then I'm like, oh God, I just, no, I can't do it.
Yeah, me too.
I don't like hearing no.
So if there's a chance I'm going to hear it,
I don't do it.
So how you found this out when you went to drop it off?
Yeah, so after the weekend, he's like,
can you drop it off for me?
I'll be working. I was like, sure. So I dropped it off. Yeah. So after the weekend, he's like, can you drop it off for me? I'll be working.
I was like, sure.
So I dropped it off yesterday.
And?
They listened to the radio and have subsequently heard what it was used for.
And that he's not a student.
No.
And they were like, can we still have a copy of the video when you get it done?
His school project, his uni project.
Yeah.
So there was a bit of an awkward moment as they...
How much of a discount did he get?
Half price.
For student discount?
No, bless them though, because we were still pretty much students.
We didn't have any money to do this video.
So it was very, very helpful.
Don't I walk past student travel STA?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like, that's not fair.
I could be a student.
I want to walk in there and be like, oh, how's it, dudes?
Man, I really want to shake off a tough semester of economics
and go to Bali with this woman who's not my wife.
I don't know, she's looking after
these two. They're not my children
but they want to come too.
The thing is, your wife isn't ageing and actually
could be a student. I know.
I've never seen a student quite with that beard.
I'm a professor
and this
is a student of mine and
two smaller students.
I went bald really young.
I just want to take my student to a tropical destination and say, well done.
I don't think that works, eh?
No.
No.
Well, I can't pull off the old student discount.
Can we take some calls?
Has anybody ever tried to get a discount and it's backfired
or they've been like denied or called out?
Like the classic student discount and you're not a student?
Does it count?
I have, this is, I've been told no once and it hurts.
I'm reluctant to do it again.
You know when you go in,
it was a story of how I got that cheap chili bin.
I went in and I was like, man, that's expensive.
And I looked online and there was some place selling it for like $150 cheaper
and Mitre 10 matched it because that's their guarantee, right?
And there wasn't any questions and I was like, I'm on to something.
And so every time I buy something now, I try it on.
I was in JB Hi-Fi and I was like, that iPad's a bit expensive.
Even though it wasn't.
It was actually like very reasonably priced.
I was like found it cheaper.
And I was like, do you guys match prices?
And he was like, yeah, that's cheap.
Let me go and check.
He went away for ages and they were looking and pointing at me.
And I'm like, they're pointing at me because they're like,
this guy's a bargain hunter.
And then they came back over to me and they're like,
oh, that's a parallel imported price and we don't actually match those.
And he handed me back my phone and I was like, oh, any discount?
And he's like, nah, mate.
And I was like.
Was that the last time you did it?
Yeah.
I've been too scared to do it again.
All right.
Well, let's take some calls.
0800-DARLS.M.
You can text 9696.
When did you try it on for a discount
and get denied?
Maybe you've got a partner that does
this all the time, like you Megan.
Your partner's always like, can we have a discount?
Can we have a bit of this off?
Give us a call.
We're talking about when someone asked for a discount.
Maybe it was embarrassing for you because you
had to witness it. Or you were the one
being denied. Asking for the discount.
Someone said, my grandma is a shocker at this.
She asked for a family discount at Kay Fry shortly after asking for a McCoke.
So the whole thing was quite embarrassing.
They would get this so much, people that work at fast food.
What, asking for discount?
Asking for the staff discount.
Because I remember friends that worked at fast food places,
they'd either have to be on the shift, eh?
You couldn't just be off shift, I don't think.
And even the manager would have to know you, I think.
Right.
Or you'd have to have a card, maybe.
Yeah, it'd have to be attributed to somebody, right?
So if Steve, who works three hours on the weekends,
getting 1,800 discounts a week,
it might be pretty obvious that he's giving those out left, right and centre.
Somebody said in Fiji, in Deneral, the bullet bus.
Everyone loves the bullet bus.
Yeah.
They start charging when you're 12.
When you're under 12.
Oh, yeah.
So every year would go, I'd have my hair put in pigtails.
And if anybody asked, I said I had to say I was 11.
I was finally denied last year at 23 years old.
23!
I'm just a little kid who wants to go for a ride on a bouleverse.
23!
I love that.
If you're going to the effort of putting your hair in pigtails.
They're possibly just like, okay.
Yeah, they know, don't they?
They know.
They don't care enough.
On my 13th birthday
when we celebrated
at a restaurant
where I had a cake
with 13 on it,
my mum tried to haggle
a child's discount
which was for 12 and under.
They said,
but she just had
her 13th birthday here.
And mum said,
yeah,
but she was born overseas
so technically
she's still 12.
We've got another day on the international date line.
Wild loophole.
I went out for dinner with my ex who was in the army and my flatmate who was in the Air Force.
And my ex asked at the restaurant, is there a discount for Her Majesty's soldiers?
And got a discount.
So my flatmate said, is there a discount for Her Majesty's airmen?
And was told no.
What's the difference? I don told no. What's the difference?
They don't know.
What's the difference?
They don't know.
Trina, what happened?
He always asks for staff discounts.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Even though he doesn't work at the place?
No, even though he doesn't work at the place,
whether it be McDonald's, whether it be supermarkets,
clothes stores.
We were going through duty free one time and on the way in Fiji,
in Fiji, he said, why did they come?
Yeah.
And he asked the staff discount on my perfume.
And they went to speak to the managers and he got it.
Oh, my God.
Surely like three people working Fiji
and Journey Free
they would know
everybody intimately.
Does he not have to show
like ID or anything?
No, no.
He's a talker.
He's a talker.
Oh, so embarrassing.
It's worth it
to get rid of him.
Trina, thanks for your call.
Calvin, when did you
try it on for a discount?
So I was in London a few years ago
and I was at a top shop.
So I showed them my ID
and the guy looked at me.
He was this sort of really tall, big guy.
And he looked at it
and then he looked up at me
and was like,
the sticker on it says it expired a year ago.
And I was like,
um, damn.
I didn't realize.
Like, whoop.
And I put my head down.
It was so awkward.
And so did you even buy the clothes or did you just leave?
Yeah, no, I did.
I had to, like, go through it.
Oh.
Double pain.
Yeah, awkward.
Calvin, thanks for your call.
Some other text messages.
I work at a workshop dealing with cars.
People are constantly asking for discounts.
One guy was very persistent and he was a plumber.
So I said, all right, I'll give you a discount.
But if I need plumbing done.
Yeah.
Anyway, I needed some plumbing done.
Called him, came around, asked him for a discount.
He's like, absolutely not.
Didn't return the discount. Oh, no.
If you're going to return the discount, it's a boomerang. You've got to return the discount.
It's a boomerang. You scratch
mine, I scratch yours. It's not a one
way scratch. My back's already been
scratched. That's not itchy anymore.
Selfish.
Somebody else said my best friend does this
all the time. I took her to the baby
expo with me. I was having a
baby. She wasn't. And she was trying to get student
discount off things.
And she said, well, I'm a student
so I want to, I'll pay
for it. Here, give me your Air Force card. I'll pay
for it. But I want the student discount
to people. She said it was so embarrassing.
And at Subway,
I kept getting half price. And I was like,
this is weird, but okay, I'm happy with it.
And one day I said, why am I getting this so cheap?
And they said, oh, this is the police discount.
But they're a security guard.
And they were like, oh, okay.
All right then, have a lovely day.
And then the next day they came back and it kept happening.
And one day he didn't get the discount.
He's like, police discount.
And the boss was like, we know you're a security guard.
Did they get half price?
What else did they get half price on? I don't know. I know there was a few things they got. At BP, don't they get half price? What else did they get half price on?
I don't know.
I know there was a few things they got.
At BP, don't they get cheap?
Half price fuel.
I don't know.
They get cheaper, don't they?
That's why you always see them at BP.
They probably get free one of those things I like,
southern style chicken bites.
Almost worth imitating a police officer.
No, I'd say the 0800 new cops.
That'd be like better work stories and a few discounts if you know how to ask.
But you have to come to police college to find out.
That's a good recruitment.
They should take a leap out of that book.
Now, our job's to keep a finger on the pulse of the nation.
Tastes.
Yep.
Trends. Yep. Trends.
Yep.
Pop culture moments.
Yep, sure.
And you know, when you do something once
and it's a huge success,
the artist in me wants to say,
leave them wanting more.
Yeah.
Let it be.
Yeah.
Let it stand as a lone pillar
that people will forever remember fondly.
Yeah.
Often the follow-up, the sequel, if you will.
Not as good.
Never quite reaches the
dizzying heights with the exception of Empire
Strikes Back and Back to the Future 2.
Okay, right.
Everything else often falls short.
So this has been a huge
concern for us, hasn't it?
We've talked about this. Do we
risk it all
to bring it back?
And we've decided
could we call ourselves artists if we didn't live we risk it all to bring it back. And we've decided,
could we call ourselves artists if we didn't live like risks?
No, we couldn't.
If we didn't take risks? We simply couldn't.
Throughout history,
revolutionaries have taken risks.
Yeah.
And we consider ourselves revolutionaries in this industry.
Oh, give it a rest.
So, it's the return of this.
That's right.
New Zealand's premier, in fact, the world's premier fashion label is back.
And, oh, it's just in time for New Zealand Fashion Week.
That's right.
Which, again, Megan's been invited to, and again, she's like,
oh, but I don't have anything to wear.
Well, don't worry about it.
House of Hutton will fill that empty gap in your wardrobe.
It's been two years.
It has.
So it was 2016 Fashion Week.
In fact, it's been two years since Megan stopped getting invited to Fashion Week.
Yeah, actually, I haven't had that many invites this year,
which you think is hilarious.
But you thought this was so funny.
You made me wear a stupid loofer dress.
Yes.
I wasn't even allowed on the property.
It was a dress with heaps of different shower loofers attached to it.
And googly eyes.
Because we went to sewing school, didn't we?
Rona Toto, yeah.
Yeah, we went and we had the dresses, did them all ourselves.
You looked amazing.
You did get denied from Fashion Week.
But that's just because they weren't ready for it.
And they were worried that you were going to go.
What show was it?
Hailwood.
I'm so sorry.
Hailwood were worried that you were going to go
and the show was going to be more about House of Hutton
than it was going to be about Hailwood.
Which I thought we could have shared the glory.
So did I, Vaughan.
So did I.
But Clean Royjibib, that was the name of that collection.
Clean Roy Jibiv, you'll remember,
because it was the cleaning and it was rainbow coloured.
What was hilarious about this, though,
is in the following two years,
the amount of celebrities or models that were seen
in similar dresses was actually hilarious.
Like...
Like Puffy...
I wouldn't...
Yeah, okay.
Write yourself. How's it going? Like Puffy I wouldn't Yeah okay Rate yourself
How's it going
Miley Cyrus
Wore an almost
Direct rip off
Of the House of Hutt
Yep
Cardi B
More recently
There's been a bunch
Hers is more of a
Giant maroon loofer though
Yeah
I mean they took
Some artistic liberties
Well Megan
You were only just
On the radio
Before saying
You've spent a lot of money
on Mr. Toyboy's music video
so you might not have money
to go out and buy
a new outfit for Fashion Week
which is coming up soon.
So let
Hoos of Hutton
take care of it
with this year's collection.
Are you ready for the name
of this year's collection?
Loosed proper tar.
Loosed proper tar.
Loosed proper tar.
We are going back
Into the fashion room
Am I allowed to guess what you're doing?
Loose proper time
Have a guess
Making me wear lost property?
Correct
We need people around New Zealand
To delve into lost property bins
At their workplaces
At the schools At the public pools The gyms Anywhere where there into lost property bins at their workplaces, at the schools, at the public
pools, the gyms, anywhere where there's lost property.
People have left that stuff and they haven't been for months.
If it's cleared the certain stand down period, we need you to send it to us at the Hoos of
Hutton and we're going to put together Megan's Fashion Week outfit for this year.
We are going to put our own labels over the already existing labels.
Correct.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Correct.
I mean, it's best if it's not branded.
It is, yeah.
But, I mean, we'll take anything.
I mean, maybe you've got some togs in the lost property.
Yes.
I don't know.
That could go.
Well, that's right.
If there was an Adidas sweatshirt, but we needed to cover the label,
maybe we could put togs over a sweatshirt.
Because that's the sort of fashion revolution there is.
We are.
Look at Megan's face.
You think this is so funny.
What?
This is not.
I'm literally like.
Funny's up there,
but for me,
it's mostly about art.
Yeah.
And then fashion
and then funny.
Megan, this is what fashion is.
It's risks.
It's risks.
It's like taking a dick
out of your mate.
I'm never going to be invited back.
You've been invited back this season.
To only a couple.
It's gradually trickling back.
Yeah, but imagine, like, from our point of view,
my dream is to be gunned down on the stairs of my mansion
so I can forever be remembered as a fashion icon
like Donatello the Ninja Turtle.
Giovanni de Sachi.
Giovanni de Donatello.
Ninja Turtle.
That would be the House of Hunt and Drain.
So if you've lost property...
We can make that happen.
If you...
We can talk about the mention part.
How dramatic.
I'd be like, I've been shot.
That was a car backfiring.
Through my heart.
Well, if you work in a place that has any kind of lost property,
please get in touch.
Our Facebook page, FVMZM.
You can call 0800DARLS.M as well.
Yeah.
Maybe have a sift through today if you're on the way to work.
What if there's only one shoe?
I mean, that's great.
We can mix and match.
In any size, we can make fit by cutting the toes out of them.
Imagine if we started a fashion of mismatched left-left shoes
or right-right shoes.
Oh, my God.
Yas.
Or like Kanye.
I laughed about it.
Kanye wore the mismatching slides to the wedding.
Well, when I saw him in the shoes too small for him, I was like, he's on to us.
Puss of cotton.
My eye is twitching.
You guys are so...
Come on, Megan. No, I'm not down for this. Somebody did text me Come on, Megan.
No, I'm not down for this.
Somebody did text message in, Megan.
Somebody said,
on the bright side, Megan,
I thought it was the return of Megan's diary.
Would you rather have us read out some more pages of that?
No, thank you.
Who's the one it is, baby?
Either that or we'll read out the rowing camp edition.
No.
What's the dress called this year?
Loosed proper tar.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
Today's fact of the day is there is a medical term
for when you fall asleep drunk on your arm and you wake up and it's dead.
Oh, it's not.
What about when I do it and I'm not drunk because I'm always falling asleep.
It's also known as the same thing because it's become synonymous with just putting direct pressure against a firm object on a radial nerve.
Radial nerve compression in the arm.
I'm really bad at doing that.
Do you know there's a sign I found out recently.
It's a sign that you need a new pillow.
Really?
It's a sign that your pillow's not doing enough.
Because I get it from putting my arm up
under my pillow
to give my pillow a bit of extra width.
Right.
And it's that that makes me
wake up with a really, really dead arm.
Do I need a firmer pillow?
Yes, a bigger pillow.
Oh, right.
I wake up with numb hands.
What's that?
I don't know.
Not the rest of your arm.
Not the rest of my arm, just my hands.
Poor circulation?
You might just be like half pushed on the nerve.
Don't Google that, by the way.
Okay.
Because I Googled when I said I wake up with dead arms.
Everything is cancer.
No, this was multiple sclerosis.
Oh, okay.
So, no, okay.
Oh, okay. Don't, okay. Oh, okay.
Don't Google if you, I mean, go and see a doctor if you're concerned about the numbness
of your fingers and toes, your extremities, but don't panic if you wake up and you may
have just fallen asleep on a nerve.
It's actually called Saturday night palsy.
Really?
Saturday night palsy is the official medical term for falling asleep on your arm and waking up with an extremely dead arm.
Because people would go to the doctor on Sundays or on Mondays saying, oh, my God, I woke up on Sunday.
And I had this excessively dead arm.
And they'd say, how did you go drinking on Saturday night?
And I'd be like, yep.
And it was called Saturday night palsy because people would get drunk, fall asleep on their arm.
And because they'd fallen into a drunken,
like, deep sleep,
they hadn't realized their arm,
so their body's subconscious wasn't like,
move your arm.
It's going.
Oh, drinking.
And another thing I learned while learning about this
is palsy is short for paralysis.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I've never known that.
Never known that either,
so it was a double dose of learning.
Yeah, right.
With this.
And it was great because when I was researching this,
I've fallen asleep on it, but I'm not drunk.
It's just because I've been bolstering my pillow with my arm.
So today's fact of the day is if you fall asleep drunk on your arm
and you wake up with a dead, there's a medical term for that.
It's called Saturday night palsy.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.
This horrific beauty incident has come from a salon owner in Thailand.
Now, it's not something they did at the salon.
The person went to the salon to get it fixed.
Okay.
But before I tell you what it is, something they did at the salon. The person went to the salon to get it fixed. Okay. But, before I tell you
what it is, apparently this is
quite a thing. Women
are doing this a lot. So,
when I tell you what it is, you're going to be like, no one does that.
It's happened a few times and
they need to come out and say, don't do it.
Stop it. It's not okay.
You can end up
gluing your eyes together.
So, this beauty salon in Thailand had someone coming in
and there is pictures of this.
A woman came in after she sealed her eyes shut
after she put our lash extensions on with super glue.
What do you normally put them on with?
It's just a lash glue.
It's not as strong.
So if you pull them, they'll come off.
Right.
But they'll also, I mean, you're not pulling your eyelashes.
They'll just stay there.
I always thought they were like a post-it note.
Like they just had a sticky bit.
No, no, no, no.
You've got to put a glue on it.
So you've got to put a thin line of glue.
It does have a little track on it.
Yeah.
But you put a little thin line of glue.
Oh, see, I thought the track was the sticky bit.
No.
Oh.
I don't know, but I'm with Vaughan.
I don't know how they work.
I just thought it was the same thing.
You just have a little glue
but it's not like
intense like super glue
if you pull it
it'll come off
so people are what
not
they don't have this glue
the lash glue
so they're like
well I've got super glue
that'll do
or maybe
because you know
like lashes that you buy
like that
you only have them on
for the day
and then you take them off
yeah
lash extensions
are for longer
but they're expensive
so maybe they figured that if they put them on with super glue they'd last longer for the day and then you take them off. Yeah. Lash extensions are for longer but they're expensive.
So maybe they figured that if they put them on
with super glue
they'd last longer.
Oh my god.
I mean.
It's not good.
She's ended up
gluing her eyes shut
and there's a horrific video
of them dissolving
the super glue
and scraping off the lashes.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
But they ended up
getting her eyes open.
Yeah.
Why did she go to a hospital?
I don't know
Maybe misjudgment
Wouldn't that be a better
Yeah maybe
Yeah
You maybe shouldn't know how serious it was
Yeah
Well she's not
Amazingly she didn't hurt her eyes in any way
She's just lost all of her lashes
You guys ever fiddled with araldite?
No
That's a strong glue right?
I've stuck my fingers together with super glue Yeah Because araldite's this, but that's a strong glue, right? I've stuck my fingers together with super glue.
Because araldite, it's a chemical reaction.
It comes in two tubes.
Oh, I remember my dad had that.
Dad always had a tube.
Dads always have a tube of araldite.
I feel like as a dad, I should have some araldite in the garage just in case,
but I don't.
It made me have fallen short of my fatherly expectations,
not having araldite.
Yeah, two syringes joined together
and you'd squeeze the end the same amount out
and you'd mix it.
But man, when you were using that stuff,
your time was limited.
It would stick anything together.
But it's not better than superglue, is it?
Oh, yeah.
Or is it better?
Oh, yeah.
It's for big jobs.
Right, okay.
But that sounds like it's controlled.
My problem with superglue is
as soon as you take the lid off
and you go to squeeze a little bit out, it's like...
All over you and then you've stuck your fingers together.
Oh, and it doesn't dry until it's bonding two pieces of skin together either.
No.
It's really weird.
It's wet for like eight days and then you touch your finger
and you're like, oh, it's still wet, and you touch your other thumb
and it's like, I'm drying out.
I've had it on my tongue and in my mouth, super glue.
Because you accidentally squirted it in, didn't you?
Yeah, but the thing is, when it's in your mouth, it comes off easier because you can
peel it off because of your saliva.
But still, it does stick to your tongue in case you're wondering.
Don't ever stick your tongue to your tooth and you're like, oh, I'll pull this off and
it'll rip your tooth out.
Oh my God.
Well, I would like to know on the back of this,
since someone stuck false eyelashes on with super glue,
you versus super glue.
Whenever you had a run in with it,
what did you stick to what?
Because it's easily done.
Any sort of mega adhesive?
Oh, any?
Yeah, okay.
You versus mega adhesive.
You versus mega adhesive.
See, non-brand specific glue.
It'd be a great sequel to Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus.
Mega adhesive versus Giant Octopus.
Well, that's the thing.
Maybe you're gluing a project together or something
and you're using some super glue or some mega adhesive.
When did you have a run-in with super glue
or any kind of major adhesive?
0800-DARLES-AT-M-9696.
Give us a call.
We're talking about
when you've had a run-in
with a mega adhesive,
be it a super glue or...
As we're hearing about
some different brands,
Araldite and Loctite 401.
That's the mechanical one,
isn't it?
The glue.
It's intense.
It's $29 for like 25 mils.
So you'd only need a drop.
Can you use that on other things?
Like my nails?
If you want the same nails for the rest of your life.
That sounds like the strength I need.
Lock tight.
Yeah.
Get it in there.
So some text messages on it.
Somebody who can't talk on air, it's a little bit sensitive,
but they are an embalmer and mortician.
Oh, okay.
They glued themselves to a dead person.
I googled what use would morticians have with super glue. After they
cut them up. To glue them back together.
To stitch them?
Apparently there's like a hole in the skin
for any such reason. You put a drop
of super glue in and let it settle and then
another drop to fill it and then put a bit of
tissue paper over it and another drop
of glue on top of the tissue paper and then wait
for it to dry and go over it with makeup
and it's a good skin substitute.
So if you've
got a corpse
on your hand that's looking a little unsightly
with some holes in it. With a couple of bullet wounds.
Yeah! Wow.
Weekend at Bernie's. Grim.
Somebody said never buy a $2
shop super glue because the bottle looks
a lot like clear eyes from someone who
has had super glue in their eyes
somebody else
tried to super glue
a hole in the kids
pool without deflating
it first
held it tight
as you can imagine
you'd hold it tight
blew it
but then when they
let go of it
and the air
rushed back in
the super glue
blew out into
their eyes
and their mouth
oh no
somebody else
said never
if it's stuck on
try to open a tube of super glue with your teeth.
That's from somebody who's had a mouth full of glue.
You've had it in your mouth, Megan.
I worked at a dental practice in the UK.
So many people super glue teeth back in, false teeth, crowns, anything.
Yep.
If a tooth falls out, they'll just glue it back in.
Rather than go and pay.
But then they're still ending up back in there, aren't they?
Well, they go in there eventually.
But, you know, I'll get you through the weekend.
Don't want to pay those unsightly after-hours costs
of a dental trip, do you?
Renee, you versus Superglue.
What happened?
So I was sticking on some fake nails for, like, a dress-up party,
and then I needed something from the kitchen,
so I went up and grabbed it, and then I sat back down,
and I was, like, looking everywhere on my desk for my glue,
and I was like, where did I put it?
And I was like, oh, I must have taken it to the kitchen, darn it.
So I quickly jumped up and nope, I was sitting on it.
Was it stuck to your butt?
I was in gym tights.
See, maybe I have sinosa.
And my skin stuck to my tights.
So when the glue pulled from my tights, the tights pulled my skin.
That was like when I tried to pull my fingers apart.
The skin comes with it.
Yeah.
It does on your butt too, just in case you're wondering.
Oh, yeah.
Sacrifices.
Renee, thanks for your call.
No worries.
Michelle, what happened?
You versus glue.
Well, it wasn't actually me.
It's a friend of mine who's a doctor.
Yeah.
And they use super glue to seal wounds.
Is it actual super glue? A type of medical super glueue to seal wounds. Is it actual superglue?
A type of medical superglue.
Right, okay.
So this kid had come in and he had a cut in his head
and so the doctor stitched it or used the superglue to seal the wound.
But he got his finger of his glove stuck to the wound.
And so what he did was he just took his glove off
and he just cut the finger off
and sent the kid on his way
and he ended up having to spend
the next two weeks
with a finger of a glove
sticking out his head.
How, as a parent,
how short do you reckon
you could cut that every day
with just another couple of mils off?
Yeah.
But you wouldn't want to pull it
because you wouldn't want
the wound to open again.
Oh my gosh.
It's just going to fade away.
Just a flappy finger.
That's pretty Michelle.
Thanks, Nicole.
Great doctoring.
Some other text messages in.
Somebody said, we had an apprentice, just, you know, someone that you make fun of on
a building site, apparently, who had too many drinks on a Friday night and fell asleep slash passed out.
So he licked with nails them to a table.
As you know.
Made you wing up and be like, oh, God.
Arms, no, no, no, can't move, no.
Oh, I live here now.
Unparalyzed, great.
Stuck to where you think it'd seep through the clothing, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Somebody said my two-year-old was playing with super glue.
We have no idea where he got it because we had never bought super glue.
Oh, weird.
Mysterious find.
And, yeah, it exploded all over his face and he came in and he was like,
Mom, look.
Just had glue, fingers, hands, face.
Absolute catastrophe, as you can imagine.
