Starting point is 00:00:00 This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, thanks to Spark. You can stay connected with free Wi-Fi a gig a day on the $19 Spark prepaid rollover pack. Enjoy. ZM. 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
Starting point is 00:00:28 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
Starting point is 00:00:44 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
Starting point is 00:00:59 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.
Starting point is 00:01:13 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.
Starting point is 00:01:29 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.
Starting point is 00:01:46 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.
Starting point is 00:01:57 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.
Starting point is 00:02:08 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?
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:42 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.
Starting point is 00:02:54 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?
Starting point is 00:03:06 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.
Starting point is 00:03:19 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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?
Starting point is 00:04:00 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.
Starting point is 00:04:15 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
Starting point is 00:04:26 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.
Starting point is 00:04:38 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
Starting point is 00:04:48 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
Starting point is 00:04:58 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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?
Starting point is 00:05:28 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.
Starting point is 00:05:39 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.
Starting point is 00:05:46 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?
Starting point is 00:06:00 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
Starting point is 00:06:11 in Glendale Heights. Glendale Heights sounds like something of Grand Theft Auto. Glendale? Yeah, Glendale Heights. It's in Illinois. Illinois. Illinois.
Starting point is 00:06:23 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
Starting point is 00:06:33 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
Starting point is 00:06:44 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.
Starting point is 00:07:02 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.
Starting point is 00:07:16 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?
Starting point is 00:07:29 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?
Starting point is 00:07:46 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,
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:10 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
Starting point is 00:08:19 they were allowed to hoist it up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Is the Norwegian star one that lady that fell off the Norwegian star
Starting point is 00:08:29 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 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.
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:00 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
Starting point is 00:09:14 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
Starting point is 00:10:00 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
Starting point is 00:10:36 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
Starting point is 00:11:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:14 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:41 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
Starting point is 00:13:01 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%
Starting point is 00:13:10 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
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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,
Starting point is 00:14:15 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:39 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.
Starting point is 00:14:55 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.
Starting point is 00:15:07 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.
Starting point is 00:15:28 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.
Starting point is 00:15:47 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?
Starting point is 00:16:02 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
Starting point is 00:16:18 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.
Starting point is 00:16:39 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.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah. All right. It's also like one floor apart from the movies, which are upstairs. Yeah. So not... When they go up?
Starting point is 00:17:04 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:32 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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
Starting point is 00:17:51 Hawk massage chairs With bonus Vibrating platform thing That you stand on Yeah Like It just jiggles your fat I know
Starting point is 00:18:00 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
Starting point is 00:18:13 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?
Starting point is 00:18:33 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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.
Starting point is 00:18:54 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.
Starting point is 00:19:06 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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.
Starting point is 00:19:29 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.
Starting point is 00:19:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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
Starting point is 00:20:11 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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.
Starting point is 00:20:47 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.
Starting point is 00:21:03 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,
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:30 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.
Starting point is 00:21:43 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:15 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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
Starting point is 00:22:55 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?
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:45 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
Starting point is 00:23:53 car when we get back. Lots of gravel roads down that way. I'm not washing the car. Fletchbourne and Megan's Community Notices.
Starting point is 00:24:03 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.
Starting point is 00:24:17 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?
Starting point is 00:24:31 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
Starting point is 00:24:46 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
Starting point is 00:25:01 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.
Starting point is 00:25:14 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,
Starting point is 00:25:31 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:57 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.
Starting point is 00:26:05 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,
Starting point is 00:26:20 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
Starting point is 00:26:35 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...
Starting point is 00:26:51 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.
Starting point is 00:27:11 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.
Starting point is 00:27:31 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
Starting point is 00:27:47 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
Starting point is 00:27:58 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:27 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
Starting point is 00:28:44 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.
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:20 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.
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:30:03 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
Starting point is 00:30:20 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
Starting point is 00:30:37 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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.
Starting point is 00:31:14 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.
Starting point is 00:31:29 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.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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.
Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:04 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I'm the top Tim. Yeah. Unless he changes his name to toptim at apple.com. Either way, look, flick him an email, mate.
Starting point is 00:32:18 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.
Starting point is 00:32:27 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.
Starting point is 00:32:38 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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,
Starting point is 00:33:06 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,
Starting point is 00:33:23 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.
Starting point is 00:33:39 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.
Starting point is 00:33:53 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.
Starting point is 00:34:06 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:30 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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.
Starting point is 00:35:06 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.
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:41 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.
Starting point is 00:35:55 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,
Starting point is 00:36:10 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?
Starting point is 00:36:26 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.
Starting point is 00:36:47 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.
Starting point is 00:37:02 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.
Starting point is 00:37:23 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.
Starting point is 00:37:35 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.
Starting point is 00:37:42 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.
Starting point is 00:38:07 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.
Starting point is 00:38:26 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.
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
Starting point is 00:39:00 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.
Starting point is 00:39:16 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,
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:50 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.
Starting point is 00:40:05 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.
Starting point is 00:40:21 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.
Starting point is 00:40:39 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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
Starting point is 00:41:14 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
Starting point is 00:41:22 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
Starting point is 00:41:37 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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.
Starting point is 00:41:55 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.
Starting point is 00:42:11 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.
Starting point is 00:42:22 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
Starting point is 00:42:30 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,
Starting point is 00:42:37 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
Starting point is 00:42:49 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
Starting point is 00:43:02 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
Starting point is 00:43:15 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?
Starting point is 00:43:38 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,
Starting point is 00:43:47 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,
Starting point is 00:43:55 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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,
Starting point is 00:44:16 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?
Starting point is 00:44:31 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?
Starting point is 00:44:53 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.
Starting point is 00:45:11 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
Starting point is 00:45:34 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.
Starting point is 00:45:54 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?
Starting point is 00:46:11 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?
Starting point is 00:46:31 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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.
Starting point is 00:47:23 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.
Starting point is 00:47:39 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?
Starting point is 00:48:01 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?
Starting point is 00:48:17 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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.
Starting point is 00:48:57 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
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
Starting point is 00:49:19 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.
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:49 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,
Starting point is 00:50:13 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
Starting point is 00:50:29 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
Starting point is 00:50:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:54 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.
Starting point is 00:51:10 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.
Starting point is 00:51:23 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.
Starting point is 00:51:36 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:06 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.
Starting point is 00:52:21 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.
Starting point is 00:52:36 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.
Starting point is 00:52:50 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.
Starting point is 00:53:12 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.
Starting point is 00:53:27 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.
Starting point is 00:53:37 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.
Starting point is 00:53:50 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
Starting point is 00:54:04 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.
Starting point is 00:54:21 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.
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:04 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.
Starting point is 00:55:20 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.
Starting point is 00:55:33 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,
Starting point is 00:55:47 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...
Starting point is 00:56:03 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
Starting point is 00:56:11 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
Starting point is 00:56:21 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
Starting point is 00:56:28 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?
Starting point is 00:56:38 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
Starting point is 00:56:54 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.
Starting point is 00:57:11 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.
Starting point is 00:57:29 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.
Starting point is 00:57:40 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,
Starting point is 00:57:53 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.
Starting point is 00:58:02 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
Starting point is 00:58:15 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.
Starting point is 00:58:29 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.
Starting point is 00:58:45 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.
Starting point is 00:58:59 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.
Starting point is 00:59:16 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,
Starting point is 00:59:31 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.
Starting point is 00:59:48 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.
Starting point is 01:00:24 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.
Starting point is 01:00:37 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.
Starting point is 01:00:48 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.
Starting point is 01:01:00 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.
Starting point is 01:01:19 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,
Starting point is 01:01:45 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.
Starting point is 01:01:58 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.
Starting point is 01:02:09 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.
Starting point is 01:02:44 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.
Starting point is 01:02:58 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?
Starting point is 01:03:20 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.
Starting point is 01:03:31 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.
Starting point is 01:03:40 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
Starting point is 01:03:49 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
Starting point is 01:03:55 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
Starting point is 01:04:01 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.
Starting point is 01:04:10 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.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Oh. Oh. Yeah. But they ended up getting her eyes open. Yeah. Why did she go to a hospital? I don't know
Starting point is 01:04:27 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
Starting point is 01:04:37 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.
Starting point is 01:04:52 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
Starting point is 01:05:09 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.
Starting point is 01:05:19 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.
Starting point is 01:05:36 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
Starting point is 01:05:52 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.
Starting point is 01:06:10 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.
Starting point is 01:06:23 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?
Starting point is 01:06:41 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,
Starting point is 01:06:51 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?
Starting point is 01:07:03 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,
Starting point is 01:07:16 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
Starting point is 01:07:34 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
Starting point is 01:07:50 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
Starting point is 01:08:05 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
Starting point is 01:08:14 blew it but then when they let go of it and the air rushed back in the super glue blew out into their eyes
Starting point is 01:08:19 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.
Starting point is 01:08:31 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.
Starting point is 01:08:46 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,
Starting point is 01:09:03 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.
Starting point is 01:09:23 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.
Starting point is 01:09:34 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.
Starting point is 01:09:48 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
Starting point is 01:10:10 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.
Starting point is 01:10:23 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.
Starting point is 01:10:31 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.
Starting point is 01:10:58 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.
Starting point is 01:11:15 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.
