Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
Thank you, Newsreader Anya.
Thank you.
What for? What did she do?
It was just a great news bulletin.
Do you know what tickled me?
You can't thank millennials for doing their job.
They should do the job.
Right.
For the pleasure of doing the job.
Is that why you do it?
Hell no.
The idea that President Trump thinks Google's against him is just brilliant.
It only shows up
the fake news.
That's why, isn't it?
You've got to remember,
he's old AF.
Like, he doesn't know
how stuff works.
He doesn't even know
what colour the American flag was.
I don't think you can just say
he's old.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not excusing him,
but when he's like,
oh, then it's against me.
Like, that's the sort of ramblings of a crazy old person.
And a dictator.
Something a dictator would say.
It is very.
We'll change the search results.
It is very Kim Jong-un.
In my favour.
It is, isn't it?
There are only four guesses remaining for ZM's Secret Sound.
$50,000 is up for grabs.
Soundkeeper Annabelle.
Actually, I lie.
Five guesses. Sound, $50,000 is up for grabs. Soundkeeper Annabelle. Actually, I lie, five guesses,
because at five o'clock today,
we're giving somebody an extra queue jumper opportunity.
So you can register to be that person,
sit him online,
they could just call you back
and you'll jump the queue
and have a guess after the five o'clock guess today.
So, five chances,
eight o'clock today,
midday with Belle and Brianne Clint at five, and then tomorrow morning, we will have the last guess at eight o'clock today midday with Belle
and Bree and Clint
at five
and then tomorrow morning
we will have the last guess
at eight o'clock
if it's not one by then.
So if you need to listen
to the sound on
all the clues
the video tour
that we did through
Soundcapper Annabelle's house
it's the final few days
otherwise
tomorrow
she'll get the cash.
It's going to be really
really weird if someone, like,
comes in and takes the money now at this point.
I know.
I'll feel bad.
She's still on her dolphin trip, though, right?
Yeah, she's still on it.
But she'll be back tomorrow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just again, if it's going to go today, it'd be great.
We have to look at her.
You should see Fletch consoling someone who's crying.
It's a nice awkward thing.
What do you mean?
It's something.
Something starts crying and you're like...
Oh yeah, I do that thing where I'm like,
it's okay and just tap them.
Like it makes it all better.
With a smirk on your face too.
You're okay.
You're okay.
I don't know how to handle sadness, do I?
So that's like as close as I get to that.
All right.
All right, you lot, listen up.
It's story time.
Three news headlines for three stories that I found online.
Interesting, unusual, quirky news stories.
Orna Megan, pick one of the following three.
Okay.
Headline one, safer alternative, no safer. Okay.
Oh, no.
Oh, I'd have any of those.
But did someone...
I'm a huge fan of the old switcheroo.
Okay.
How do you spell loose?
Is it two O's or one?
It's two.
It's two.
When someone's like,
oh, I don't want to loose my opportunity.
I'm like, well, you just did.
You just did.
You just did.
You loosed it.
All up.
Was it a cell phone on the roller coaster?
Maybe.
Someone got hit in the face by a cell phone while riding a roller coaster.
The minute she asked, it's gone loose.
She noticed a black object coming towards her.
She's like, oh, that bird's getting clickaboo.
Okay, so we don't need that one.
I've definitely taken my cell phone on a roller coaster,
and I just held it real tight.
Oh, you always got to hold that real tight.
That's not funny.
That's me.
No, it is, yeah.
Okay, well, which one do you want?
Do you want the old switcheroo or safer alternative, no safer?
Switcheroo?
Yeah, I want the old switcheroo.
The old switcheroo.
Okay, we go now to Paraguay.
Paraguay. Paraguay. Paraguay.
Wonderful.
Where police were called out to an incident.
So they went to the rifle room to get their automatic, powerful automatic weapons.
And that is when they discovered that 42 of the powerful semi-automatic weapons I'm showing you a photo, in the police station armoury were all replaced with toy guns.
Oh, so the real guns are gone.
Yeah, the old switcheroo.
Oh.
How long ago?
Apparently they hadn't used them for a while.
They could have been switched out ages ago.
Yeah, the reason they're saying is that the black market
for these rifles can get around about
14,000 New Zealand dollars, about 7,500 pounds per rifle.
Per rifle?
Yeah.
God, I didn't know selling arms would have been such a good money.
Or maybe that's not it.
Maybe that's a group amount for 42.
That wouldn't be enough, though, for 42, would it?
Maybe that is per rifle.
I'm not too sure.
I think it probably is more likely per rifle than the whole lot.
Yeah, apparently the rifles were in storage and in working order.
And when they needed them, when they needed to get them,
they had been switcherooed.
I don't want to be that guy who talks too much about a TV show from 2010
that I'm just watching, but that just happened in an episode of Luther.
I love that you're
finally watching Luther
because that is
an incredible show.
Oh, so good.
Yeah.
Idris Elba.
So good.
BBC stuff is so good.
It's Idris Elba in it.
Yeah.
Why didn't you say?
It was made in 2010
but it looks like
it was made this year.
Yeah.
The only thing that ages
is the cell phones they use.
Yeah.
And he, it's amazing they still get that ages is the cell phones they use. Yeah, and he...
It's amazing
they still get him back.
He's still done
the odd series
since he's become, like,
huge, a big deal.
Like, I think
the latest Luther
was a couple...
A year ago?
Yeah, I think so.
A year and a half ago?
Yeah.
Really good.
And they're short
little seasons, too,
so it's easy to binge.
It's on Netflix.
Yeah, it's on Netflix now.
Do you know how I feel
about Idris Elba?
I know.
I know.
I love him in this. I don't even.
You'll love him in this.
Okay.
Because he loses his rag at one stage
and like really punches and kicks a door
and I was like,
oh, what's this funny feeling?
Is this love?
Am I understanding now
what the woman of the world
has been feeling for years?
F.M.
So there is Netflix,
there is Lightbox,
Neon,
Sky. What else?
In New Zealand
Overseas you can stream
There's Amazon
There's Hulu
It's big
Can you get those accounts in New Zealand?
You can get those accounts in New Zealand
Maybe
Yeah maybe
Because how else did we all watch Handmaid's Tale?
Lightbox
Oh yeah that's right.
Well, there's going to be... I'm always accidentally outing myself.
Anyway, I've been drinking coffee
for the last one minute straight.
What happened on the show?
There's going to be another one
and it's going to be a monster.
Disney launching their own streaming service in 2019.
This is why some of your favourite Disney content
has disappeared off other streaming services.
It will be, yes.
Star Wars, The Clone Wars,
they're doing another season four.
That was an animated series.
I would luckily watch it all on Netflix
before it disappeared.
Because I've been recommending it to people
who are other Star Wars fans. And they're like, okay, where do I find it? And I'm like, Netflix. They're like, can't find it. And I was been recommending it to people who are other Star Wars fans
and they're like,
okay, where do I find it?
I'm like, Netflix.
They're like, can't find it.
And I was like, what's going on?
And then yeah,
they've slowly started pulling all there.
They're a bit late though, aren't they?
What do you mean?
To the streaming party, Disney.
I don't think it matters.
People are still gonna-
They own so much content.
Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars.
Like legendary stuff you watch that kids will watch over and over again,
that adults will watch over and over again.
Yeah.
I wonder if they'd have enough content, though,
because, you know, there's movies, sure,
and there's some Marvel TV shows.
They have admitted it will be a lighter content load,
but they said this creates demand and gives us the ability
not to necessarily be in the volume game,
but to be in the quality game.
But also, don't Disney own some TV channels?
They own ABC in America.
Yeah, because the guy in charge of Disney cancelled Roseanne after her little racist outburst.
Yeah, well, you think about the ABC TV shows you watch, like Modern Family, that's one, isn't it?
Right.
Yeah, right.
All of those.
So you'd imagine that that would be on there.
You'd imagine those will start disappearing from Netflix.
So they've said Star Wars, The Clone Wars is going to be on there.
The live action reimagining of The Lady and the Tramp with Justin Theroux.
Then High School Musical, the series.
There's a whole bunch of stuff they've got coming up.
That's the new content they're going to have on there
because there's a new season of Clone Wars coming out.
So yeah, they've got lots of-
That's the new content.
They started planning content for this a while ago, I think.
Yeah.
And they've got all their historic stuff to chuck on there.
Have they said like if it'll be worldwide,
if there'll be what pricing?
They haven't said what pricing,
but they said it would be cheaper than Netflix
because they've got a lighter content load.
But I don't know.
See, I'd probably...
I'd pay up for a month maybe if there was a good series.
I don't think maybe you're not the target though
because parents are going to get in on this.
With all the kids stuff, the Disney kids stuff.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, true.
And then they're going to put all their older stuff on there as well.
Movies from all the Disney movies. Or forever, yeah. And then they're going to put all their older stuff on there as well. Movies from all the Disney movies.
Oh, forever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Any Disney content.
But they have said that Netflix will probably keep
Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher.
Right.
Yeah, because I think they had a long-term deal with them.
Yeah, right.
Over those ones.
The next Iron Fist comes out soon.
For those who are watching the Marvel shows.
This is annoying though
because it's too many streaming services.
You've already got too many.
And then by the time each month
you pay for all of them,
it's like a hundred bucks.
Yeah.
So you may as well just have Sky back.
Good old days of Sky.
Careful what you wish for.
Full circle.
At least it's all
on the one place,
you know.
Well,
2019 is when
Disney Play
is expected to launch.
FEM.
ZM.
So,
I might have the secret
to living longer
and I think it's something
that most of us here do.
So,
you could live
50% longer.
You're 50% more likely
to die early
if you don't do this okay it's lifting
weights oh yeah so people who um have weak muscles uh regardless of muscle mass were linked to a 50
higher risk of early death and it found that half of americans have a poor grip strength and your
grip strength is like a trusted measure of how generally strong you are.
Right. So people who lift
weights and it says... Oh, like rope climbs.
No one can
do rope climbs. That's like
next level. Oh, I know.
But then you see someone who can do rope climbs
and you're just like, wow. You know, there was a girl
at the gym yesterday who was like gunning
chin-ups.
Oh, yeah.
That's my worst thing.
I can't do those.
Unless they're like real.
I can't do the wide ones.
The trick is to go as you do that.
No, the trick is to jump off a step and then...
Catch yourself.
Jump.
And chuck your knees up
and try to get as much forward, upward momentum as possible.
I just Googled because I was wondering at what age it was, but it's
at some point in your 30s, according
to this article, you start to lose
muscle mass and function.
Really?
I thought it was even early 20s.
When you peak.
Deteriorating, yeah. Well, they've said
that it's, even if you're an older person,
it's important to work on strength training
just as much as younger people and it's never
too late to start. Unless you've
got like, you know, serious problems
and you can't lift weights. But I
always thought it was good. Doesn't it
help prevent osteoporosis
and stuff? Does it? How does it
strengthen the old bone? Oh, because the muscle
around it becomes stronger. Yeah.
Or if your muscle becomes too strong and it gets so
strong it snaps the bone.
I don't know if that's even a thing. Just in my head your muscle becomes too strong and it gets so strong it snaps the bone. Yeah.
I don't know if that's even a thing.
Just in my head I was imagining the bone and the muscle
both had eyes and they were talking to each other
like your day's a numbered bone.
Yeah.
Right.
I saw Diane Keaton doing,
because they've got a movie out,
all like those women.
The Old Girls.
Yeah.
What's it called?
My mum wants to see that.
It's so good.
It is a good movie.
Even Mr. Toybo liked it.
He said at the end of it, he's like, I don't know about you, but I really enjoyed that.
He's got the hots for Diane Keaton though.
That's right, he does.
He likes older women.
Real old looking woman.
How old is she?
He likes old.
Real old.
There it is.
Crap.
That took a while.
I know.
Way too long.
I've brought something into work today,
and I feel like I should have done it a long time ago.
This is kind of more for you and I, Fletch.
Okay.
Hold on.
No.
Obviously that means I'm to blame.
So just like a little insight into studio life.
Lately, one of us has had a bit of a fatty bum.
Not a fatty bum.
That was a farty bum.
Just want to clear that up.
I didn't even hear a fatty bum until you reclarified it and said fatty bum.
Because Vaughn's been like gymming and protes and stuff.
Wait a minute.
Wait a gosh darn minute.
I get the blame for this because when I do a fart, I admit to it. Fletch
adds to the mix and
skates away scot-free.
He does. I am a lady.
Then if he makes one that makes a
sound and I'm like, oh, and he's like
hee hee hee, and then it smells like
the smell. I don't know if
his smell is bad as yours. No, they don't.
Honestly. Without a doubt. And like, sometimes you do
them and this follows
through, like for sure.
We've had times,
we've had times, Vaughn, when we've got a very special
guest coming in and you will
let rip. Or anyone. We know that anyone's
coming in to the studio. Sometimes poor
Arnie, when she comes in to read the news,
she's gagging. Yeah.
You get acclimatised to it and you leave and then you come back
and you're like, what's happening here?
Like she could sue us.
Do you think so?
This is some kind of workplace discrimination or odour or something.
It's a real slap in the face, that smell.
And so I thought I'd bring in, because we've tried other air fresheners
and one was a bit too strong.
It's not like your car's been valeted.
So I brought in some Britney Spears fantasy.
We've got some of those at home, like the perfumes that maybe you buy
or you get given and they're not quite you.
So you keep them in the loo.
Give the loo a couple of squirts when it's been a bad.
This is going to be the show perfume.
It's the intimate edition, so it's special.
It smells good.
You've just given it a couple of sprays.
It smells nice.
Because I'm sick of people coming in here and thinking that smell represents us.
I'm then brought into that.
You're tarnishing our brand.
Like it's actually seeping into the brand.
Like it's in the walls.
Oh, it's in the brand.
It's like meth.
It's in the walls.
It's a brand quality now.
Well, it shouldn't be.
And I don't even like
the fact that sometimes...
What goes on our thing,
like if they're here at work,
they're doing a brand analysis.
They're like,
Fletchwater Megan,
light, humorous,
farty smelling,
relatable.
Again, the farts.
Is it bad for you
to like inhale that much?
What is it?
Methane.
So, I don't know actually. What is... Is it bad you to like inhale that much. What is it? Methane. I don't know actually. Is it bad
for me to inhale that much? Because there's no
ventilation in here. There's no windows
that open.
I was just about to say something
but then I realised it's today's fact of the day.
Is it related to your
farts? Well, kind of.
Okay, well we'll deal with that. That's a long tease. We'll deal with that at 8.
Yeah, big tease.
That's two hours away.
At 8.25 this morning.
You all aren't going anywhere.
Clear the diary for the next two hours.
The Top Six with Vaughan Smith.
Hello there.
Today's Top Six.
The Top Six are the items available for the Pack and Save Health Week.
So Pack and Save do these themed weeks like...
Yep.
Meat Week. Meat Week, $2 Week. $5 Week. This and Save Health Week. So Pack and Save does these themed weeks like... Meat Week.
Meat Week, $2 Week.
$5 Week.
This is their Health Week,
where things that are healthy should be cheaper.
Vegetables, for example.
However, they just print all of their specials
on the same letterhead type situation
and pop it in those little price holders
and put them around the store.
And one of them printed on there was
Stiney Classic, Stiney Black, and Coronas on special.
Under the banner that said Health Week.
Under the banner that said Good Health Week.
But in their defence,
yeasty fermented drinks are all the rage.
Like beer's pretty much kombucha, really.
Is it?
It's kombucha with a little buzz.
Okay.
It's buzzy kombucha.
Let's call it buzzbootcha.
Okay. So they're obviously wearing it because that's not healthy. Okay. It's buzzy kombucha. Let's call it buzzbootcha. Okay.
So they're obviously wearing it because that's not healthy.
No, it's not.
So the top six other items available at Pack and Save for Health Week.
Number six, three for the price of one bags of chips, potatoes, vegetables.
Yeah.
We're supposed to have five plus a day.
And you just got three of them in three different bags. Happy Health Week tick. I think we should just point out this isn't
actually a special.
In case you were wanting to go
down to pick it up right now.
If someone walks into Pack and Save and they're like, on the radio I heard a man
say three for one bags of chips.
That's going to be very confusing
for them so don't do that.
Number five on the list of the top six
other items available for Pack and Save
Health Week, if I was in charge, not
actually happening. Reduce
the clear garlic bread.
Hello, garlic. Roy's been told
about how good that is. Yeah, what about the bread
though? That's not. And the
butter. You need carbs
a little bit. Okay. And
healthy fats. And butter's calcium and good
fats. And good fats. You two both sound like the people on my shoulders when I'm justifying McDonald's to myself. Yeah. And healthy fats. And butter, calcium and good fats. And good fats.
You two both sound like the people on my shoulders
when I'm justifying
McDonald's to myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's pretty much a salad
with a bun and burger.
Exactly.
You need,
on the shoulders,
stereotypically,
you need the angel
and the devil
but if they're both
working towards you
eating Maccas,
you just give in and eat it
because I've come to an agreement
that's nice they're not arguing.
Yeah.
I'm a democracy
so I just go
with majority rules
yeah
okay
yeah
number four
on the list
of the top six
other items
available for
pack and save
health week
if I was in charge
scorched almonds
$3.99 a box
because nuts
are essential
aren't they
they're always
telling us how
good nuts are
what about the chocolate
well as they say
if nuts are essential
and almost a medicine
a spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down.
Again, may not be $3.99.
No.
Would that be a decent price
for a squirt?
I only ever buy them at Christmas.
Yeah, I don't know
how much squirt charmers
are actually.
Always walk past them
and I might cast an eye.
Okay.
So I'm there.
Number three on the list
of the top six other items
available for Pack and Save Health Week
if I was in charge.
Strawberry sorbet.
Yum. Fat free. It always says fat free Save Health Week if I was in charge. Strawberry sorbet. Yum.
Fat-free.
It always says fat-free on sorbet.
I'm in.
What's that about heaps of sugar?
What's the worst one?
So that's some health food because of the strawberries.
I've just Googled.
Countdown's got them at $5 on special online.
Is that a dark chocolate sourced almond?
No, it's your standard.
Is that standard milk? $5? It looks like a dark milk. Yeah. That's real dark chocolate scorched almond? No, it's your standard. Is that standard milk?
$5.
It looks like a dark milk.
Yeah.
That's real spitting.
Who makes them?
Nestle.
Nestle, yeah.
Do Canberra have a scorched almond?
No, but that white cacao chocolate.
Yeah, they make a killer scorched almond.
They're at the warehouse, aren't they?
Yeah, good work.
And they make a white scorched almond too.
Yeah, because Nestle said last Christmas they broke my heart.
Do you remember that?
It's going to take too long to clean our machines.
Run one through, I'll eat the mix.
I literally should have said,
look, not all heroes wear capes.
You run the machine until it's clean
and I'll eat all the mixy ones.
Yeah, exactly.
That'd be yum.
Number two on the list of the top six other items
available for the Pack and Save Health Week,
if I was in charge, cheap sausage rolls.
A complex blend of carbohydrates and essential protein.
I've never heard a sausage roll described as that.
But when you put it like that, it actually sounds necessary.
A complex blend of?
Essential carbohydrates and proteins.
Well, he's not wrong. Well, you know, you need carbohydrates and proteins. Well, he's not wrong.
Well, you know you need carbohydrates
and proteins to live. I don't think they're the essential carbs,
the pastry. Isn't it though?
That's where the complex blend comes in. Right.
It's so complex it makes them not essential.
And the number one
in today's top six other items available
at the Pack and Save Health Week, if I was in charge,
I would have a deal 50% off
Cab Sav Merlot.
Because that's a wine made from a mix of grapes.
And what do you call it
when you mix different types of fruit together?
Fruit salad.
And what do you call a liquid version of a solid?
Soup.
So that's right.
It's a fruit salad soup.
Delicious.
Fruit salad soup.
That's today's top six.
And again, these specials don't actually exist.
Yeah.
And don't ever buy anybody
a blended wine.
We're a bit past that.
Nobody should be drinking
a Cab Sav Merlot.
Have you received
a blended wine as a gift?
Yes.
And you wouldn't have any.
Someone came to our house
and left behind
a blended bottle of wine
as like a thanks for having us.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You've re-gifted this.
100%.
No one buys Cab Sav Merlot anymore, do they?
It's funny you say that because I think we got gifted one or I got gifted one and I re-gifted
it as well.
Because I'm like, I don't want to drink two different types of wine.
And then when you're putting the crock pot on, you're like, we need some wine for the
recipe.
Well, I got gifted that bottle.
That's all it's good for.
Please.
We live in New Zealand, goddammit.
We drink Pinot Noir or nothing.
You could be sitting on, like, just a real gold mine.
You know how you watch, what's that, Antiques Roadshow?
And you're like, oh, I've got something that could be worth money.
Oh, I love that.
I mean, I don't really
watch that show,
but it's on sometimes
and it's so funny
when there's like an old couple
and they think they've got this
like buried treasure
and it's worth like five quid
and they're like,
oh, guess I'll go home then.
Or bone for me.
Get so much pleasure
out of someone's...
Back to the estate, Cheryl.
I ain't got shit all where.
It is funny, though.
You've got to admit.
And you know that's making it on telly, too.
Oh, of course it is.
This is something that you may have brought recently
that if you wait long enough,
it's going to be worth a lot of money.
It is an Ikea piece.
Well, we don't have Ikea.
An Ikea piece. Although some people do't have Ikea. An Ikea piece.
Although some people do in port and some people, yeah.
Some people import them, yeah.
You can buy it like from random places here.
It's a side table.
It is currently worth $79.
Available in Australia and I guess in anywhere that's got an Ikea.
It's called the Lovebuckin.
The Lovebuckin?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you know it?
No
I just sounded like
What is it?
A set of drawers?
No it's a side table
To say that word
Because do you know
How the guy that started Ikea
Who was a Nazi by the way
In his younger days
He
I learnt on a podcast
No such thing as a fish
How he named
Because he was no good with codes
Like he couldn't say
Table DK 477 Yep B8 because he had dyslexia.
Right.
So everything had to be named and he had like ways of naming them.
Like I think it was tables and stuff were always named after boys.
Oh, right.
No, tables and non-bedroom furniture.
So that's why Billy Bookcase is named for all these things.
So yeah, he named them different things.
So that will mean something.
So that looks like kind of a retro table, doesn't it?
It does.
It's like brown with black legs and it's kind of like an off triangular shape side table.
So what are people saying?
Well, professionals say the table,
while it's currently worth like Australian $79,
it could be worth by 2030 around 3,000 pounds,
three to 5,000 pounds.
Why?
A little side table.
I don't know.
Do they stop making them?
Do they not make many of them?
Or do they make them wrong for a little while?
You know what?
These people sound like you, Vaughan,
with your toys and your hoarding.
Because you do this, don't you?
You're like, this is going to be a collector's item one day.
I'm going to be rich.
What's made it worse is I just watched The Toys That Made Us,
this Netflix series.
And it talks about toys from throughout history,
but a lot of around 80s and 90s toys.
And that just made me think where they've been around for so long
that some of them might be worth some moolah.
And like growing up, you open them, you rip the packaging off.
I know.
As soon as you do that, that's it, eh?
But no kids keeping a toy.
No, even some of them that have been played with,
if they're super rare or a mistake was made,
they can be worth a lot of money to collectors,
as long as they're not completely ruined.
Like, you know, there's a New Zealand example,
and we've got some of these at my parents' house.
Yeah.
Funho.
It was Taranaki-based.
Yeah. They made die-cast was Taranaki based. Yeah. They made
die-cast steel tractors,
trucks, and everything.
Yeah, and they had this guarantee
because the wheels would break because they were
the only plastic component. They'd replace them
for free. Right.
We've got a few of those tractors and trucks and stuff
at my parents' house.
Do you reckon they'd be worth a bit of money?
Well, I remember 10 years ago
collectors were looking for them.
Right.
Your mum would totally
want to throw them out.
I just find it funny.
No, no, they're still around
because...
Are they?
And that's the other thing.
I had toys that I purchased
when I was older,
like an older teenager.
Yeah.
And I was like,
I'm keeping them in the box
and they were in boxes
at my parents' place
and I went back recently
and my nieces and nephews
had opened them
and played with them.
And completely ruined boxes at my parents' place and I went back recently and my nieces and nephews had opened them and played with them. And
completely ruined whatever value
you had. Oh, they're out of the box now.
Oh, no.
But oh well. But would they actually be
worth anything? No, not much.
Yeah. I mean, they're going to get more
joy out of playing with them than they will sit
in a box for a while.
I was going to say, is anybody listening
and because Vaughan's our friend that does this
that collects something or puts something aside
and thinks this is going to be worth
some money one day.
Or maybe you're listening
and you're sitting on something.
You've got it stashed away.
I only need the most gentle piece of encouragement to open them though.
Right.
I got sent this.
This was years ago. I got sent this this was years ago
I got sent one of those
big Star Wars
walkers
yeah
from the original Star Wars
and they tie them up
and they fall them over
yeah
AT-ATs or AT-ATs
whatever you call them
yeah
and I was like
wow
that's pretty cool
and put it in my box
I put it
I left it in the box
and the minute
Indy was old enough
she was like
let's play with that
I was like
deal
but then they'd make heaps of those nowadays yeah and my one is the box and the minute Indy was old enough she was like let's play with that. I was like deal.
But then they'd make heaps of those nowadays.
And my one is broken
as well because you rough play with it.
But it doesn't have to be a toy.
It could be a table or a
piece of furniture or some sports
memorabilia.
Dads would have sports memorabilia in the garages.
So like a signed
from the 87 rugby world cup.
And you're like, this is going to be worth a fortune.
Some when you get older and I pass away,
you'll be able to sell this.
Don't drink this can of shitty Steinlager, boy.
It'll be worth a fortune one day.
Signed by the Wettins.
An old can of Steinlager.
You're like, don't worry, Dad.
There's no risk of me opening that can.
I'm never going to be so desperate for a drink
that I'm opening a 30-year-old can of drink.
All right, well, do you have something that's stashed away
that you think one day will be a collector's item?
Or maybe you've got something on the shelf that you're proud of.
Or maybe you've just got a crazy friend like we've got Vaughn
who sashes toys at his parents' garage to one day make...
Do it.
20 bucks.
20 bucks on Trade Me.
Whoa, 20 bucks, be on my wildest dreams.
0800-9666.
Talking about things that you might have lying around
and you think they might be a collector's item one day.
There's a piece of Ikea furniture that said,
while it's $75 now, it could be worth $3,000 in the future.
We can't get to the bottom of why they think this.
Because it's Ikea.
Yeah, there's like heaps of them.
So they've made 10 bajillion of them.
You have to wait ages.
Don't know.
So we want to know from you what you've got hanging around
that could be a collector's item one day.
Liz, who's the collector?
Well, Mum used to buy like two of any of our toys
that she thought might be valuable.
So we've got some like,
it was the Cabbage Patch Kids that we were allowed to play with
and the ones that were still in their boxes.
I like Mum.
Oh, my God.
I think Mum's a genius.
Okay.
But also, like, remember in the early 90s,
McDonald's did, like, the really cool, like, Barbie toys,
and there was a set of, like, 20 or 30 of them.
Oh, yes.
So we've got a complete set still in the McDonald's 30 of them. Oh, yes. I've got a complete set,
still in the alert,
McDonald's toy baggie.
Oh, my God.
Because, you know,
collectors go crazy for McDonald's toys.
When's she going to sell them?
Has she sold any?
I don't know.
No, she hasn't sold any of them,
but they're all like categorised and packed away in the garage.
I would have to think how much money
is sitting in toys in the garage.
Has she ever like looked online
to see what they're kind of worth now?
I'm not sure.
I think mainly it was just like she likes thinking of the toys
that she used to buy us and whatever.
So, yeah, there's a little bit of a mind of toys sitting in the garage.
Don't encourage it because then you can sell them.
Exactly.
Yeah, just be like, no, Mum, you can't get rid of them, mum.
Sentimental.
And then mum dies and everybody's in.
All right.
Sticker what you want.
Liz, thanks for your call.
Google in the background while that was happening.
1984 original Cabbage Patch Cado,
which would have cost you $40 in the 80s,
worth $1,000 now.
But then how much is $40?
How much would that equate to?
Well, you could have spent $40 on Apple shares
and have like a million dollars now.
Oh, yeah, but four sides.
You can't look at shares where you can look at shares.
There's just the next thing under that,
what your old toy was worth now after the Cabbage Patch doll.
There's an old Star Wars.
It's called an Ewok Combat Play Pack.
Yeah.
And it actually looks pretty cool.
This would have been hard to leave in the box
because it had a catapult in it and a rock
and you were an Ewok and you flung it at the stormtroopers.
That's worth like $6,500 now.
If you've got a mint one in mint condition,
does it still have to be in the box?
I mean, that's always going to get you more money.
Somebody messaged in, my husband and I have over 300 Hot Wheels cars in their packets. Yeah. In mint condition. Yeah. Does it still have to be in the box? I mean, that's always going to get you more money. Yeah.
Somebody messaged in,
my husband and I have over 300 Hot Wheels cars in their packets.
Addicted.
Nana used to collect McDonald's toys.
She's got hundreds of them still in their little plastic bags.
Again, I reckon those McDonald's toys are worth a load of money, especially overseas to, like, Americans and stuff.
Susie, what are you sitting on?
What's your collector's item?
It's my grandma, but she's collected a whole heap of those Millennium $10 notes that you used to get
because supposedly they're meant to be worth heaps.
I remember that.
In the Millennium, they printed some special $10 notes.
What's special about them?
I don't know.
They're like a different blue.
They actually look quite similar to the new $10 notes because they had the paper ones.
Right.
So could you even,
you couldn't use them now?
You can use them.
They're legal tender.
I mean, the person at the dairy
might be like,
what's the story here?
You'd have to look it up.
Probably be a pain in the ass
to spend really
because you'd have so many questions
at the store.
But you wouldn't
because they'd be worth
more than $10, wouldn't they?
More than $10, yeah.
Brilliant.
All right.
Thanks you, Cool Susie.
Somebody said,
I have my grandfather's
baseball card collection. That's baseball cards. Never sell those in New Zealand. Brilliant. All right. Thanks, you're cool, Susie. Somebody said, I have my grandfather's baseball card collection.
That's baseball cards.
Never sell those in New Zealand.
Go overseas for those.
I was going to say,
big in America, those things.
Yeah.
Somebody else said,
my Lego collection.
The deal was when we were kids,
when we got Lego,
one box to play with,
one box to keep.
Lego's not cheap.
I know.
I was going to say,
whose parents can afford this?
You'd be lucky to even get a toy.
What sort of cruel parent
would buy Lego
and be like,
not to play with?
He'd be like,
but I need a two by three
red piece.
Ellie,
what's your collector's item?
It is a Qantas
East St. Laurent Barbie doll.
A Qantas,
did you say?
East St. Laurent.
East St. Laurent.
Yeah, Qantas, the airline. Yeah. East St. Laurent. East St. Laurent. Yeah, Qantas, the airline.
Yeah.
East St. Laurent.
Stewardess Barbecue.
Did they team up to do a uniform for Qantas or something?
Yeah, in the early 70s, I think it was.
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
I would love to.
She's wearing underwear.
And how much is that?
She's wearing underwear?
Yeah, she's wearing underwear.
We made sure. Oh, you checked under the clothing. She's wearing underwear. Yeah, she's wearing underwear. We made sure.
Oh, you checked under the clothing.
She's not just wearing underwear and that's it?
No, we made sure
she had knickers on under her
outfit. Obviously
a vital... Yeah, right.
So would that be worth quite a lot of money? Like, that's very
rare. 30-something thousand, I think.
Oh, Christ! Yeah, because I
Googled it and it's quite talked about
because Barbies are one of those toys where collectors,
if they've got them, they've got to have them all.
Wow.
And they just used to have it in a display case in their dining room,
and we said, that's a designer Barbie.
And then it was just like, it's yours when I die.
Is it individually insured?
It's like things worth that much money should probably be insured, right?
Yeah, she's insured with a house under separate with my mother's jewelry and stuff.
Right, like her itemized fuel.
Wow, I can't believe you have a $35,000 Barbie.
That is insane.
I know, she's just sitting in a box at the moment.
Wow.
Wow, because how many did they, do you know how many they made?
They did it for some sort of anniversary flight
for Qantas.
So it was only the one,
I think it was a month or something.
It was London to Sydney or Melbourne.
Right, so they probably only did like a few thousand
and that was it.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's crazy.
Oh, I've seen one online.
Someone's cut its hair.
You can never resist giving your Barbie your haircut.
You need to give her the trim.
Give her a control Barbie.
Let's get rid of those split ends.
Ellie, thanks for your call.
Some other text messages in.
My husband collects everything.
So basically he's going to be on an episode of Hoarders one day.
We've got hundreds of PlayStation games, knickknacks, comics, coins, kid books, bottles, numerous other things.
Yeah, see, he thinks that's worth a lot, but it's not.
Yeah.
You're driving me crazy.
My partner bought three of the Metallica Avengers pop figures for $85 this year.
He recently sold them and got around $300 each.
Oh, okay.
That's a good return.
Those are the protectors figures.
Yeah.
Somebody said, I have a giant McLeod's daughter's canvas photo
and signed script.
Wow, that's pretty cool.
A lot went down on that farm.
A lot went down on that farm.
Oh, I was down.
Osh would have,
I've said it before,
I said again,
Osh would have had that place on notice.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
117 days away from Christmas till we say,
Mirimi Kirimiya.
And our nan says, what does that mean?
And we say, it's Merry Christmas in Maori.
And she goes, oh, okay.
We're like, Akama!
So that's 117 days away.
Good times to look forward to.
Oh, yeah, it's coming around.
So it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the place.
We've had many reports of Christmas popping in.
Oh, somebody in England sent me, because, you know,
we talked about Harrods opening their Christmas store.
But it's not only open now.
Check out this photo.
Oh, yeah.
It's full-blown Christmas. They said they walked
into Harrods and was immediately met
with 10 million
percent Christmas penetration.
I see.
Some of your sketchy work there,
Sheik78, but good on you. And thanks
for your international report
of Christmas. Well, and you know like
all department stores want to be Harrods, don't they?
So they'll all start putting up their Christmas displays now.
It's only a matter of time.
It's in New Zealand.
Late September?
It's kind of October-y.
Right.
Anything before that, it's very, like, they get complaints from old people.
When are you going to get that fair?
This report comes in from Rihanna.
This is in Christchurch.
The tannery is already organising their Christmas markets
and handing out magnets with the date on them.
The tannery Christmas market day,
this is going to be on the 20th of December this year.
Oh, that's close to Christmas.
Yeah, from 10am till 9pm.
That's a long day of Christmas markets.
Well, yeah, you've got to have all your time to do your shopping,
don't you? But then one day, would you make a
magnet for something that was only one day?
To me, magnets have got
to be at least like a week's worth of
activities to be bothered printing up. What I would
class as quite a beautiful magnet. That can be
said for anything. Would you make earrings for
one day? You get Christmas earrings, you get Christmas
outfits. Oh, but you can wear those in the month
leading up to Christmas. Right. Well, you can can wear those in the month leading up to Christmas.
Right.
Well, you can use the magnet in the month leading up.
No, Vaughn, I'm with Vaughn.
If you're going to make a magnet, it's got to be a magnet you can leave on your fridge all the time.
Yes.
Like, you know, heck knows what I'm going to need to call a real estate agent,
but I've got a magnet on my fridge just in case.
With a little pad underneath.
Yeah.
By the way, most of them, the magnet runs down underneath the
pad.
You can tear off the
face of that real estate
agent and that thing
will still hold onto
the fridge.
Maybe you might need
an additional magnet.
Yeah.
It's always an issue
I've got with magnets
when the thing that's
holding up hasn't been
taken into consideration
with the size or
strength of a magnet.
Oh yeah, they always
cheap out on the
magnet.
No, yeah.
Real estate agents.
And you go slap on
the fridge and then
the pad just drags it
straight to the floor.
Yeah.
Or it gradually slides down over the week.
Or it's a calendar.
They do a calendar on a magnet too a lot of places.
It needs to be a big magnet.
Or a very powerful magnet.
Yeah.
By the way, if your child ever swallows a button magnet,
these things are terrible by the way.
They melt because when you swallow it, the saliva completes the circuit
and it will burn a hole in you.
So you apparently should
just be constantly taking honey
because honey will form
a protective layer
around the button.
Are you talking about a battery
or a magnet?
Oh, no, a battery.
But you know those are magnetised?
Oh, no.
Because you remember
my father-in-law,
he was an audiologist
and he built his own
Biomag walrus underlay
out of hearing aid batteries
and a big sheet of metal.
I've still got it.
People don't believe that story
and I'm like
come with me
and I take them into the garage
and I show them this
huge piece of metal
covered in hearing aid batteries.
That's right
because he's so rich
he could buy a wall rest
underlay magnetic blanket
but he doesn't want to.
Why?
When I can make my own.
A very uncomfortable sleep
on all those batteries.
Wildly uncomfortable.
But those are magnetic, those tiny batteries.
Okay.
So don't eat them.
By any chance, get the honey.
Anyway, we've slightly gone off topic.
Because we're talking about Christmas penetration.
Somebody said it's Farmer's New Lynn time.
This is from Casey, who popped into Farmer's New Lynn,
and she said Christmas chocolate chocolates already on display.
So these are actually recognised Christmas chocolates.
Okay.
Yeah, I know.
It's a risky one.
Somebody is in Rome.
Hannah is travelling internationally,
and she thought I should make a Christmas report from Rome
where Mr. Christmas is open and in the swing of things already.
Now, he has a period of the year where he shuts down
and then he opens in time for a holiday.
Christmas ornaments.
I would have thought he could probably have stayed on holiday till October.
Yeah.
You know, make the most of those days off, Mr. Christmas.
And, oh, Rhianna's doubled.
This is the same Rhianna that sent us the situation with the Christmas magnets,
which took us off topic slightly.
She said, Red Current already has their glasshouse candle Christmas packs out.
So these are Christmas scented candles and you buy them in a pack of three.
What's their, what are their scents?
Because you know I'm hanging out for the Akoya Pine again.
Oh, you love.
So it's the night before Christmas,
White Christmas,
and Christmas Carol.
Those aren't flavours.
Those aren't flavours of candle.
But then.
It tells me nothing.
No, I know, but I screen capped your picture.
You can probably read it if I.
Is the Christmas Carol,
is that the smell of people on fire
outside singing carols?
Yeah.
Or the smell of you pulling the curtains and hiding
and being like, just pretend we're not home.
It's what they call
the Jehovah Witness scent
for the other
11 months of the year.
Or the person
trying to get you
to switch power companies
at 6 o'clock
on a Wednesday
because that's a great time
to ask someone
if they want to switch
power companies.
I'm actually just angry
at your power company
now for sending you.
Get off me porch.
So with all that in mind and 117 days away from Christmas.
Right now Christmas penetration is at...
12.5%.
Oh, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
FEM.
Bad news, guys.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...
Slap it on the table.
It's a problem shared.
It's a problem we're all going to have to face.
YouTube are about to up the amount of unskippable ads.
Oh, God, I hate unskippable ads.
A trifone.
Everything should be for free.
That's going to mean if we're ever going to play YouTube, Vaughan,
you're going to have to, like, set it up beforehand.
I know, no, but you know I like talking about something on air
and then quickly scrambling to find it on YouTube
and then stalling for time while that bloody John West ad tells me,
I've been fishing since I was 18 months old, if you ask me fair there.
God, I'd love to meet that woman's father and be like
I wish I'd never
taken her fishing
I wish I'd never
gone near a goddamn boat
I wish I'd never
Well because you know
everyone gets different ads
I didn't realise that
Everyone gets different
causes
Targeted advertising
If you're logged in
it knows
everything about you
Yeah
So you're not gonna
like you wouldn't get
Megan's targeted ads
like what do you get
ads that you can't skip
I don't know
I've just been like loading a whole bunch to see what I get.
But I don't get a lot of ads.
Another one, we talked about him the other day, Sam Ovens, business consulting.
I started getting him on Facebook.
I'd never heard of him.
Someone told me about him and I was like, oh, doesn't sound like anything like I'd be interested.
And the FBI were like, Vaughn wants more on Sam Ovens.
And so I get Sam.
And then I like on Facebook, I was like, block all of this type of ad.
Not interested.
Well, you don't need business mentor.
But then I was like, who is Sam Ovens?
So I Googled him.
Big mistake.
And now it's everywhere.
If you go to like a news site and it's like, hey, champ, it's me, Sam Ovens.
Want to make millions of dollars?
I'm just a Kiwi living in New York
making millions of bucks.
Look at me in my shorts. I'm so approachable
and relatable. Everyone
back home sees a bit of them and me.
And I can't escape
them. Right, he's on you.
Everywhere. So what are they saying?
Because now it's every four
or five YouTube clips you
get an ad that you can skip.
What are they just doing?
Everyone now.
And there's those ads that are the different lengths of unskippability.
Oh, yep.
Like 10 seconds, 15 seconds.
And obviously I think those people pay more money to have themselves on.
But it actually makes me sort of resent a product in a way.
Same.
It's like, oh, you wouldn't let me skip through to a Fortnite clip, would you?
Well, guess what?
Multinational who probably doesn't need my money anyway
or Sam Ovens,
I'm not coming to your business consulting webinar.
Take that.
So yeah, more non-skippable ads are going to be rolling out.
Well, that's, yeah, okay.
Terrible news.
All right.
This is terrible news. We're going to be rolling out. Well, that's, yeah, okay. Terrible news. All right. This is terrible news.
We're going to play an ad break.
Of all the news today, that is the worst I've heard.
Megan, we're about to play an ad break, if you could choose.
You can't skip it.
Please stick around.
You can't skip it.
This is the other thing I heard, and much like the irony of us about to play unskippable ads.
I heard TalkBack talk about this, and they were just slamming it,
and then they literally went into like a three and a half minute ad break. They're going to play more ads than all of us. I heard TalkBack talk about this and they were just slamming it and then they literally went into like a three and a half minute ad break.
All of us. I know.
And there are ads you really want to skip.
There was this one and it was like
I wasn't feeling well.
And I was like, oh God, what's happened?
I wasn't feeling well and then I let
the Lord into my soul and I'm
feeling great. I was like, what?
The Lord is not antibiotics.
One should seek
a medical professional
and say,
skip.
Where's my skip?
I can't skip.
And then the next day
he's like,
hoi,
it's my CM ovens.
I'm not here as well.
He's everywhere.
All right,
after the break,
we've got your chance
to have a go
at $50,000 cash
and Trin from The Office is in because she has given up something for a whole month.
And today, in fact, is the 29th.
Is it one of those trick ones again?
Because that time she didn't wear makeup for a week.
And she's like, no one said anything.
It was because everyone was like, is Trin wearing makeup?
You can't say it to her face.
No, it's because she was beautiful with or without.
Makeup made no difference.
That's what I said.
We have a very special guest in the studio this morning,
Trin from The Office.
Good morning.
Welcome to Trin.
People right now in the cars around their homes are like,
oh, Trin from The Office.
That's from The Office.
That's not her last name, from The Office.
No, she sounds like Germany.
Now, the reason we wanted to get you in
is because you have been doing somewhat of a detox in August.
And on Friday, this detox ends.
Yep.
No boy August.
There's not a good ring to it, like dry July, unfortunately.
Yeah.
So why did you do this?
Oh, I was just going from Tinder boy to Bumble boy, from Tinder boy to Bumble boy.
And then one time I went on a date and I actually liked him.
And I was like, wow, this is what it's like to go on a good date.
And then he rejected me a couple of days later.
And I was like, I think I just need some time to myself to think
and stop wasting time on fake tanning and shaving
and going to these shite dates.
So in the last 29 days, what has your life changed?
Have you actually any day-to-day kind of differences that you've noticed?
Yeah, I've got a lot more spare time in my evenings.
Are you watching more Netflix shows?
Yeah, reading more.
I was going to say, are you going out and socialising in another way?
No, not really.
Not really.
Okay, so saving money?
Oh, yeah, probably.
Probably.
Okay, yeah.
Because I'm too awkward to let them pay every time.
You just like to go Harvey's?
Yeah, Harvey's or like pay my way.
How many of these dates were you going out on a week previous?
Oh, like maybe one every two weeks.
Okay. But it's just like the build up to it as well.
You talk to them for like two weeks and you're like,
okay, this guy's got good chat. And then you convince
yourself that he's about to be the love of your life.
Yeah. And then you meet up with him and you're like,
who is this loser? And then you
have to either waste an hour
or two sitting there knowing you don't like him
or you have to make up a really bad excuse
like I have in the past and said that I was eating
websites going down and I need to leave.
You know
that he could literally just check that.
Yeah, and I'll just be like, oh, they've just fixed it.
And he's like, oh, cool, you can stay then.
It does sound exhausting
though because you spend so much time
even just casual chats would be like
okay, we've got to start this again.
Yeah, you know, you learn all about their family and all that extra stuff and then you're like, okay, we've got to start this again. Yeah, you know.
You learn all about their family and all that extra stuff.
And then you're like, oh, all that knowledge means nothing now that I don't like you.
Sorry.
You learn so much about somebody that, and then they're gone.
You'll never see again. But they probably still watch your Instagram story for the next two years.
Yeah, okay.
Give me a good like, which is good.
Gets my Instagram likes up.
So what's the rules for no boy August?
What have you been doing?
So I went onto my Snapchat was the first thing
and deleted all these boys that I'd added throughout my dating time.
Okay.
Even if I didn't Snapchat at all anymore.
Did you keep any hot ones?
No.
All gone?
All gone.
Okay.
I deleted my Tinder.
I deleted my Bumble.
I deleted numbers of boys that I was scared I'd get drunk and text over the month. Okay. I deleted my Tinder, I deleted my Bumble, I deleted numbers of
boys that I was scared I'd get drunk in
texts over the month. Wow.
Okay. Wow, it's a complete purge.
Did you save those for September?
Nah. Gone forever. Okay.
Okay, good purge. So are you allowed to flirt?
Oh, I've tried not to, but
I'm a flirty person as it is in nature.
What about quiz night
when there was... Yeah, so quiz night, to be fair.
I was wing woman-ing her.
That's right.
The other week, didn't you ask a guy for a number?
No, not a quiz night.
No.
Oh, I asked that for Caitlin.
Oh, okay.
So can you like line them up for September?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
To me, it's like if you were doing dry July and you're doing a home brew in July. Oh, definitely. That, to me, is like if you were doing
Dry July
and you're doing a home brew
in July,
but it'll be ready.
Or like a still of
pure Mojo.
It would be ready in August.
Or you're purchasing
all the specials
during August.
Yeah, yes,
and then saving them.
Okay.
Well, my No Boy August
finishes on Friday
and we've actually got
ZM drinks that night,
so when midnight
ticks around.
Trin, you never make it to midnight. Yeah, that's true.
At stuff drinks.
That's pretty cool. So maybe just wait till
Saturday. Yeah.
So you'd recommend this to people?
Like, do you actually think it's done you good?
Like, mentally as well? Yeah.
I think it has actually done me mentally good. Like, I can
just focus on myself and I think
I, even though I joke about it,
I probably won't jump right back into the dating apps
when it comes to September.
Like I think I'll just see how it goes naturally
and not force something that doesn't need to be forced.
Yeah.
Do you think they're like bad for people's mental health?
Sometimes, yeah.
Like when,
cause you're constantly be questioning yourself.
There could be a lot of rejection as well.
Yeah, well, when I got rejected recently,
the guy was like, oh, you're really nice,
but I went on another date the next day
and clicked with her more.
And I was like, jeez, you line these dates up quick.
Because this is just like The Bachelor.
Real life Bachelor, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, so I think it is actually good for your mental health,
especially if you're just going from one boy to the next.
You need to give yourself space.
All right, well, we do it for like, you know, alcohol.
Don't we?
Dry July.
We do it for shaving.
Junk food.
Junk free June.
Oh, chuck us your phone then, Fletch.
I'll delete your dating apps.
I don't actually have any on my phone.
Thank you.
They're on the cloud and they're ready to download.
I don't have any on there.
Why not?
I just don't.
Why?
Who would see it and get upset?
What folder are they in then?
What have you renamed them?
Hey, Trin, thanks for coming in.
It was all about Trin.
No boy, August.
Maybe we should all try it.
FEM.
So yesterday at the gym, cardio time, I was on the cross trainer.
I had to move cross trainers because I think the guy next to me shat himself.
Are you serious?
That's a different story.
Yeah.
Like, oh, he's just an old mate.
And I was like, that's not a fart.
I'm moving.
But so anyway, I repositioned on a new cross trainer.
Like really far away or just one over?
Oh, yeah, over the other side.
Oh, I was going to say, if you just moved one over,
that's going to be very obvious.
No, I was upwind, Megan.
Obviously, I'm not going to relocate downwind.
And so because when I do cross training cardio,
I watch Netflix because it passes the time.
Great way.
And you churn through some shows.
And I've got my shows that are like gym-only cardio shows.
Yeah.
That you don't need to, like, they're not really intense shows.
You don't want to have to concentrate too hard.
Yeah.
Those ones I like on the big screen.
So I was watching yesterday, and you might have seen this on Netflix,
Explain.
Great.
So good.
We've talked about this before.
They're like mini docos, like anywhere between 14 and 18, 20 minutes. So
concise, they get it done. Yeah, on
different subjects. And my favourite game at the start
of every episode is like, who's that narrator?
And I try to pick the
voice before it shows me. Some of them
you wouldn't know. Yeah.
And there's some things
I wouldn't normally delve
into or watch, like there was a K-pop one
but I found that real interesting.
Fascinating, the origins of K-pop.
I watched the one yesterday about weed
and how that's all been legalised
and how weeds change from what it was.
And then what are some other ones?
I watched eSports.
The stock exchange.
There's an eSports.
The stock market.
Stock market lost me.
Why diets fail.
I watched that.
Cryptocurrency.
It's kind of like a dummy's guide on just
a whole lot of different things. Yeah, monogamy,
designer DNA, the racial wealth gap.
That was a fascinating one.
Cricket, there's one on cricket, that's
great. And have you watched that other one
that we haven't mentioned? Because we've pretty much mentioned all of them.
The female, oh. Yeah.
The female organism episode.
And I was like,
well, I mean,
I'll watch it. Yeah, organism. The female organism episode. And I was like, well, I mean, I'll watch it.
What?
Yeah, okay.
I was straight into it.
When it said new episode and it popped up and I was like, what's it about?
It was about the elusive.
I was like, yeah.
I couldn't hit the screen fast enough.
I was like, teach me what I need to know, wise Buddha.
Tell me.
It's like the Loch Ness Monster. Apparently it exists.
But the episode's only five seconds long and it's like myth. See you next week.
And then the episode rolls over and goes to sleep.
Knew it.
Anyway, I'm like, okay,
I thought to myself, is this going to be risky
to watch at the gym? Because, you know, there's
cross trainers next to me. There's people all around.
I'm like, it'll be fine.
I imagine there's one picture.
There's a diagram.
It was never going to be fine.
There was literally a Vahina or a diagram every five seconds.
They're multiple Vahinas.
They're talking about it.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, but they're talking about it.
I was like.
I was so intrigued to watch that one, but I was at the gym as well,
and I was like, there are people behind me.
So you didn't watch it
at the gym?
No, for that very reason.
Yeah, because they
they're very well put together
all these little mini docos
and they use a lot of graphics
and they're really animated well.
So yeah, there were
lots of graphics
and I was like
oh no.
I mean I watched it.
Everyone watching you
on the cross train
is like
why is that guy
watching diagrams of veins?
Did you huddle?
I always...
This happens.
I go before work, so there's no one ever there.
Yeah.
But I guarantee if there's going to be a show with boobies in it,
the person's going to arrive five minutes after me
and jump on the machine right beside me.
And I'm like...
And especially if it's a TV show,
you don't know some boobies are going to pop up.
Oh!
That's Sacred Games we've watched.
The Narcos in Mumbai. It's been lab show. You don't know some boobies are going to pop up. Oh, that's Sacred Games that we've watched. The Narcos in Mumbai.
It's been labelled by some.
Surprise boobs in that.
It's just ordinary and then cut.
Boobs.
And it's aggressive.
And you're just like, oh!
Trying to like, I'm running like this now.
Yeah.
Trying to cover the whole screen.
Watching a show on a plane once.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, and then there was this really intense scene with a carpool
and I was just like
Do you skip through?
I was just like skip skip skip
like probably missing some vital plot
probably not but skip skip skip skip
You don't want everyone to look at your screen and be like
what are you watching? Well yeah I don't want someone to be like
oh that passenger's watching pornography
I'm not I'm just watching a normal show
it's just a TV show
You know when you stand up
to go to the toilet
and you can see
what everyone's watching too
on the screen?
I like to judge
what people are watching.
Because sometimes
you see a person on the plane
and you're like,
oh, why are you watching
a kids movie
or why are you watching
an animated, I don't know.
There's always judgment
when you can see other people
what they're watching.
I wouldn't have thought
that guy would be into rom-coms.
Or they're watching Friends.
You're like, oh, come on.
Come on.
There's better options on there. But then that's the good part about, like,
as good as in-flight entertainment can be,
if you've got your own device, you can pull it close and lean over it.
Yeah, but then that's creepy then,
because if everyone sees you doing that.
And if I saw someone next to me huddling around their phone,
I'd be like, what are they watching?
Yeah, and then you'd add down a little bit of mood.
So I thought this morning, I thought we could
make me feel better
and ask you
when this has happened to you,
when your screen
has betrayed you in public.
Like you were watching something,
maybe it was in public
on a plane,
on transport,
at the gym
and then something
came up on the screen
and people saw it
and you're like,
hey.
And you couldn't get it
off the screen fast enough.
I didn't know that was coming up.
Pretty much,
if you watch anything
that's ever been on HBO,
they'll get you every time.
A Game of Thrones
will even get you.
Oh yeah,
Game of Thrones.
Yep,
with the surprise.
You think everybody knows
about Game of Thrones,
but no.
No, true.
Alright,
well,
0800-966-
when did your phone
or laptop betray you in public?
We want to know when your phone has betrayed you
or your laptop in public.
You're watching a TV show or something online and boom,
you're caught in public watching something
you probably shouldn't be.
Some text messages in on the subject of screen betrayal.
My mum and stepdad were looking at holiday pics on my phone
and swiped too far.
Oh, no.
One drive had somehow saved pictures of me in stockings.
Oh, dear.
Wow.
Oh, God.
The worst people to see it, too.
You need your little vault on your phone.
What have you got?
The vault?
Yeah.
The photo vault.
And it just looks like another app on your phone.
Put it in there.
Calculator.
In case you ever steal Megan's phone.
No, it changes all the time.
Oh, does it?
It's constantly evolving.
What is it at the moment?
I don't know.
Hang on.
I'll have a look.
No, I don't know what I'm telling you.
Well, just tell us what the icon is.
It's a little lock, actually, at the moment.
It's a blue and white lock.
Well, that's not obvious at all. I mean
there's no other app with that as the
Yeah, it's been an
umbrella. It's been the calculator. It changes
it evolves. So you never quite know what you're looking for.
Okay, so don't click on any calculator
or weather related apps on Megan's phone.
Well then you have to put a pin in. It's double protected.
Somebody, two
factor authentication.
Somebody messaged and said they were on a plane
And Magic Mike was available
So they were like
Oh that sounds
A bit of me
I've heard about this
I had no idea
It was porn for ladies
The old lady next to me
Asked me what I was watching
Because that depends
On what airline you go on
Because sometimes
If you go on
Like a Middle Eastern airline
Or an airline
You know where
They have a lot stricter
Yeah they have nothing
Shine on there
You start Magic Mike
And it's like five Five minutes long It just cuts to to shine on there. You start Magic Mike and it's like five minutes long.
It just cuts to the end scene.
They dub over the swear words, so it's like fudge and like...
Oh, fudgicles.
Yeah.
Boom, boom, take that, bad guy.
Fudgicles, you.
Boom, boom's too aggressive sometimes, too.
Oh, yeah, it's pew.
Pew.
Pew.
Nia, naughty son of a biscuit That actually sounds like
It would be the funnest job in the world
Dubbing over
Eastern airline
Middle eastern airline
Yeah
Videos in flight
Some other text messages
I was watching Netflix on my iPad
While rowing at the gym
With some wireless headphones.
Classic set up.
And that's the good thing about the wireless headphones.
You can sit the iPad up there and you go, you do your back and forth.
And some boobies popped up.
And I had my feet strapped in and I was in full motion.
And the guy beside me was like, hey.
And I'm like, no, no, it's not.
I'm not rowing watching porn at a gym.
Nicole, when did your screen betray you?
Kyota, can you hear me?
Yes.
Yes, we can.
Come in, Nicole.
Over.
Roger.
Kyota.
I've been on the sideline of a classic JAB,
junior rugby match,
and scrolling through my news feed on Facebook,
and one of the bros shared something,
and I went to go play it,
and it was sexual moaning and groaning.
Oh, dear.
Sound on to enjoy this video,
and it's like a calf running through a meadow.
Yeah, it was like one of those must-watch things,
you know, like you're thinking it's going to be something important.
It's a sad day when you can't trust the bros on the internet anymore.
Yeah, yeah.
He got a couple of swear words sent his way.
Betrayed by your phone and your friends.
Thanks for your call, Nicole.
Long haul flight on Air New Zealand, this person text messages in.
And as they were watching a movie, it got to a saucy scene
as the flight attendant walked past and said,
oh my god, are you watching porn?
Well, it's on your screen!
It's on the, come on!
It's on the GUI.
And then, like, hours
later, I was watching another movie. He literally
walked past as boobs were
out of gear and he's like, you're insatiable.
There's no
stopping you.
It's on your
entertainment system,
buddy.
But then they are,
it would appear
that they were
searching it out.
Could there be like
a thing on your phone
where you set up
like screen safe mode
and when it like
detects boobies
or sauciness,
it does a little blurring
and you can like
turn it on and off.
So if you're at gym,
put it all in like
gym safe mode
so it does a little blurry.
That's a lot of work.
No,
the phone,
they said do it,
Apple does it.
You just press on.
Or maybe just don't watch
that kind of TV show, Megan.
Well, you're the one
who did it.
Well, it was surprise
by surprise,
wasn't it?
Somebody else
was betrayed by their screen
boarding a flight.
They pulled out their phone
to show the mobile ticket.
In the Air New Zealand app.
And they were like, hold on.
And it came up.
But on my phone
was my cycle tracker.
And I was like, here it is. And I showed her that I was
on day 21 of my menstrual cycle.
Oh, I thought, because I've got
an app for my, when I go
biking. Map my cycle. Well, this is cycle tracker. Oh, God feel Because I've got an app for my When I go biking Map my cycle, yeah
Well, this is cycle tracker
Oh, God, no
To know what days you don't want to go cycling
Yeah, right
Fact of the day
Day, day, day, day
I can officially announce...
Hang on.
My confetti cannon...
Knock over your popper.
You're gesticulating too much.
My confetti cannon's on the ground.
I can announce the next Fact of the Day pub quiz
will be in New Plymouth on the 13th of September
at The Good Home.
So you can now register at ZM Online.
There will be $1,000 for the winning team.
Are we making the questions easier?
You are so rude.
This is my hometown and I will not have any shade.
I was just trying to, you don't want to make them feel bad.
I'm not getting into the quiz.
Oh, the winning team got three questions right.
You're from Morrinsville.
So is the Prime Minister.
Yeah, but you're like the only two like.
That managed to get out.
Yeah, that managed to get out.
All right.
The rest are like.
Was the word you were looking for articulate?
Yes.
Great.
I love the irony of not being able to articulate articulate.
I shouldn't have admitted that.
Okay.
Anyway, register on.
That was just a little bit of friendly interbanter from the Waikato to Taranaki. Yeah, yeah. We're going to do that. Okay, anyway. Register on. That was just a little bit of friendly interbanter
from the Waikato to Taranaki.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to do that.
Yeah, we do.
As soon as you guys don't have the dairy yield, we do.
I don't even know what that means, but okay, sure.
I think it might be only my family that thinks,
because my mum's family's from down there,
so we say that.
Stop sniffing Sharpies.
That's why you're no bloody good at quiz nights.
Actually, stop that. Everyone down there's on the bloody Huff and Sharpies. He's just you're no bloody good at quiz nights. Actually, stop that.
Everyone down there is on the bloody huffing Sharpies.
He's said before, smell this.
It's a bloody Sharpie.
It's just a nice smelling one.
Okay.
Put it away.
In fact, that leads nicely into,
now you might remember if you were listening to the show two hours ago,
and if you weren't, that's no surprise.
Look.
You're probably in bed.
Do what you've got to do.
Yep.
Is that you guys were saying about Megan's got the Britney Spears perfume in studio.
Yes.
For your farty bum.
What is it called?
Britney Spears?
Fantasy.
Fantasy.
The Intimate Edition.
So to spray, to nullify any sense.
Your bum.
Within the studio.
And then Anya actually touched on this in the news.
Okay.
That's why I shot her this glare.
Was she about to steal your fact of the day?
Because today's fact of the day is air pollution is making us dumber.
Really?
Air pollution is making us dumber.
So air pollution in China, some of the worst in the world.
In what way?
In China, some of the worst in the world, is the equivalent of? Jaina, some of the worst in the world,
is the equivalent of not going to school for an entire year.
Oh, wow.
But are you not going to school
because your parents are making you travel around the world
or are you just going to school and not going to school
and staying at home?
Is it like algebra year or is it ABCs year?
Oh, I mean, that's a crucial year.
Primary school years are the most crucial
because you couldn't do algebra without the initial ABCs, could you? Well, you don't need algebra. That's what I mean, that's a crucial year. Primary school years are the most crucial because you couldn't do algebra without the initial ABCs, could you?
Well, you don't need algebra.
That's what I mean.
So you're saying if it's algebra a year, it's no big deal.
Yeah.
They just said a year of education.
Right, okay.
So we've known for a long time it affects physical health.
Asthma rates go sky high.
Cancers and stuff related to air pollution.
But they're saying they've now actually studied
and found out it affects your intelligence.
And the worst is for people over 64 years.
So if you're over 64 and living and breathing polluted air,
it's making you significantly less intelligent.
This is why you've got to move to Tauranga or the Mount and retire.
Get the fresh air, the sea breeze. This is why you've got to move to Tauranga or the Mount and retire when you get old.
Get the fresh air, the sea breeze.
So do you know, this was conducted in China, this research,
but 95% of the global population breathe unsafe air.
Oh, okay.
As to some level.
Do you think I should, when I go for an inner city urban bicycle,
I should wear one of those masks?
I see people wearing those sometimes.
I'm like, that's weird.
I'd be really interested to see the people that wear one of those masks. I see people wearing those sometimes. I'm like, that's weird. I'd be really interested to see
the people that wear those regularly
when they change the filters.
Like, after how long
what was stuck in there.
And it's not like a pool filter
because occasionally we'd open our pool filter as a kid
and there'd be a hedgehog in there.
Imagine opening your gas
mask filter and you're like,
a hedgehog in this one
and a frog in that one
and a whole bunch of moths.
Guess that answers
my questions
if hedgehogs can swim.
They can for a certain
amount of time
but our pool didn't have
a way of getting out
once you're in.
Oh no.
We had a ladder
but the hedgehogs
couldn't use it.
You know,
so you're talking
about air pollution, right?
Well apparently
sniffing your partner's farts
can help you live longer.
Farts for the win.
So, yeah.
Hydrogen sulfide is good for you to smell.
Really?
It's the first of the years.
God, aren't we learning?
Is that why my wife hasn't aged for the last 14 years?
Maybe.
You're just guessing her.
It's the secret to everyone.
I thought it was her Asian genes.
But it's you guessing her.
It was my farts all along.
I'll be holding a seminar in a very small airtight room
where I will share with you the secret to eternal youth.
It's not happening to me though.
Yeah.
Maybe I'm immune to my own farts.
So today's fact of the day is air pollution
is causing a huge reduction in intelligence.
Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. FACT OF THE DAY! DAY! DAY! DAY! DAY! Megan, in House of Hutton, New Zealand's leading fashion label, remember the loofah dress that celebrities and catwalks copied
around the world following years?
Well, the day we announced the new spring-summer collection,
2018, we're copied.
By who?
We've been copied already by a bunch of people.
Fletch, you found that photo, didn't you?
Yeah, I saw it.
Somebody was using it as a meme
and it was someone on a catwalk
wearing all kinds of like
hickory-pickory thrown together clothes
looking like it's from lost property.
I'm like, oh, it's so hard being leaders.
Yeah.
It's so hard being fashion leaders.
Harper's Bazaar.
Yeah.
So, you know, they're not bazaars in like weird.
They're bazaars in a bazaar.
Like a market.
So we asked you, we've been asking over the last couple of weeks,
if you have any lost property.
Undeniably influenced.
Oh, who's the designer?
That's cute though.
By House of Hutton.
That's nothing like House of Hutton.
Whatever.
Well, you haven't seen what you're wearing yet.
So we thank everybody that has sent in items from their lost property.
A lot of gyms and swimming pools and workplaces around the country that have lost property
have sent in various items.
Vaughan.
My eye's legit twitching.
We've gone through a lot of them and we've selected a bag, a rubbish bag load of, a big
black sack load of everything that you're going to use to wear to Fashion Week.
Lust Propita.
So, I want to thank Kev and the lads who said at their workplace,
someone never claimed this work shirt.
This is a blue and white striped work shirt.
Can you sniff it?
Oh, what label was that?
Belle and Barnett.
Oh, that sounds fancy.
That sounds like you'd get it at Kmart, maybe.
Yeah, that's good.
Do you reckon?
Okay.
Then, I think it was Jono actually ran and talked to us
and said he had a lovely arrangement of scarves.
So we've got some of these.
What are we, like, we like?
That's like tie-dyed pink.
Yeah, that's tie-dyed.
That is tie-dyed pink.
It's a green swirly situation.
I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Would you just go for one of those scarves?
I was thinking all of them.
Okay.
Okay.
Those are some accessories.
You get into the...
And then, of course, thanks to the swimming school by my house,
we got these goggles.
What am I going to do with goggles?
Accessorize.
Accessorize.
Accessorize.
Because they go on your eyes.
Oh, my God. This isize. Accessorize. Because they go on your eyes. Oh, my God.
This is all just the raw ingredients.
We've got to put it on you and style you, obs.
It's short for obviously.
Oh, my God.
That is amazing.
What is that?
That's sort of a big, weird.
It's a dad pleather jacket.
Is it a dad?
No, that's like a trench coat.
It's a mum pleather jacket.
It's like a mum who liked the Matrix pleather jacket. It's more like a trench coat. It's a mum pleather jacket. It's like a mum who liked the Matrix pleather jacket.
It's more like a trench coat.
Oh, my God.
That actually looks...
You've just gone from...
Yeah.
You look like a German sex offender.
You do look...
It is very German, isn't it?
And given that we are the hoose of...
One of the buttons is almost about to come off,
so be careful with that one, Megan.
Okay.
If you want to do it with the buttons,
just maybe give that one a re-wild reach.
You're gonna like this so mish-mash, this is great.
God, okay.
Can we get someone from Viva to photo,
well, the Casero ways.
No, please.
We've got that photo studio over there doing nothing,
because everyone's out and about for Fashion Week,
so we can set up the lights and get it done.
And this is the piece a la resistance.
What is that?
Is that a school skirt?
A mid-calf length skirt.
It looks like a Catholic schoolgirl school dress.
It does.
Or a Gloria Valle dress.
You're taller than me.
That's going to go down to my ankles.
Oh, that will go to your ankles.
Well, no, that's the fashion.
Oversized skirts.
If we say it's fashion, it's a mess.
That looks like it's made out of cardboard.
It's quite a stiff material.
You want that.
You want a good bit of wear out of it.
You want that.
You don't want to be butter-turning.
What are these called?
Plates.
Plates.
A lot of plates.
Yeah, I might need to re-iron those plates.
Oh, yes, those.
Is that all worn?
We didn't get any vintage undies, did we?
No, I'm not wearing undies.
Well, you have to bear with our undies.
That's fair enough. We've got some kids swimming togs, but I'm not comfortable to put those in the collection as undies, did we? No, I'm not wearing undies. Well, you have to be way out undies. That's fair enough.
We've got some kids
swimming togs,
but I'm not comfortable
to put those
in the collection as undies.
We're throwing those out,
but thank you
for the offer anyway.
Thank you that you think
I'd fit those.
Yeah, that's true.
So, we're going to
obviously have to style you
and maybe go to the next step,
but that is basically

for Fashion Week.
So, we'll get you in this and then obviously
you can
choose how you want to do your hair and stuff.

I know. This is huge news for the Hoos.
We are going to be front row,
so when the models are photographed,
Megan's going to be right there
in Hoos of Houghton.
This is just the sort of exposure we need
to take us to the next level.
Yeah.
I don't even know what to say.
This is so stupid.
Well, you're saving money. This is your whole thing what to say This is so stupid Well you're saving money
This is your whole thing
You think this is funny
But you're not coming with me
