It's all come down to this.

So whatever happens, whether it's you listening that wins or Soundkeeper Annabelle, we will find out what the secret sound is after all this time. I still don't know. What's the idea, mate? No, but some people have guesses.

I don't even really have a guess. You know? Yeah. People have been sitting on ideas, but I've got nothing. I'm going to feel, it's like the chopsticks. I felt so stupid. Yeah. I was like, oh, it's like the chopsticks. I felt so stupid.

Yeah. I was like, oh, of course it is. Especially given how often you say at work, I'm just going to pop out and get some sushi. I know,

and then I do that thing and I always rub the chopsticks together. To pull them apart. God, the sound was right under my nose the whole time. Well, this morning,

eight o'clock, the big moment. She's back too from her dolphin trip. She's going to be in studio Annabelle So calling it a dolphin trip There was no dolphins I know

I'd be pretty disappointed if I was going on any sort of marine biology field trip and there wasn't a dolphin involved in some Some kind

Yeah Alright you lot Listen up It's story time Story time Three news headlines that I've found for interesting unusual quirky odd It's Storytime. Storytime, three news headlines that I've found for interesting, unusual, quirky, odd, fascinating, interesting news stories. Any more adjectives?

Roll the synonyms, dude. There we go. And Vaughan and Megan pick their favourite headline, and then we delve into that story. Headline one today, judge upholds right to middle finger. Headline two, findings show F-line

F'd. And headline three, family win more than they bargained for at fair. Family win more than they bargained for at fair. Yeah. Like an AMP show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What was that second story with all the F's in it? at fear. Yeah. Like an A&P show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What was that second story with all the Fs in it? Finding show F line F. I'm just confused by the fact that you have to censor yourself. What's F line? F line F.

I don't know. I want to know what the family won. Oh, yeah, I was going to say two or three then. Okay, I'm down for three. Three is today's Democratic choice. Okay, good. You've made it a little bit more PG rated with that choice. Okay.

Because that was a bit of a naughty story, actually. Was it the F-line F-1? Yes. All right, we go now to, excuse me, Tennessee, where a fair is on at the moment. And by the looks of this picture, it's a huge fair. All the carny rides are there, like you'd expect at one of those classic American fairs you see on the movie,

like an A&P show on steroids, like the Easter show. Yeah. What are the travelling fairs? A family won a stuffed toy at a game. It doesn't say what game, but you know those games you might have to... What are they called? The ones where you've got to throw the thing and knock down the cans. It's called Coconut Rush.

And I've never quite... I'm imagining it's because originally you may have thrown coconuts. Maybe, yeah. Coconut Rush, let me... Or you could have to... No, Coconut Rush is a cocktail. Well, you might have to... It's so delicious. Maybe you did. Coconut Rush, let me... Or you could have to... No, Coconut Rush is a cocktail. Well, you might have to... It's so delicious.

Maybe you did throw coconuts, because I remember the old school gala, you'd throw coconuts and... Coconut Shy? Coconut Shy, hold on, let me... And you would, yeah, or like it could be a carny game where you're chucking darts at cards or...

Yeah, Coconut Shy. It was a fairgrounds sideshow where balls are thrown at coconuts in an attempt to knock them off stands. So, oh, okay, it's a little bit different. There'd be like a handy towel tube. Yeah. Like a long cardboard tube with a coconut sitting on top

and you had to knock it off. Yeah, to hit it. Yeah. Okay. Well, a family won a stuffed teddy bear at one of the carny stalls at the spare, took it home, and that's when they discovered that

inside uh the stuffed beer was a camera like a nanny cam like a nanny cam so um apparently police were informed uh by the family that won the beer for their kid uh by the way they reported the incident and apparently the operator of the booth stated that he buys stuffed animals in bulk from a company out of Georgia. It's a discount facility, I'm guessing where you go online and you buy like seconds

or as new bears that were maybe display or whatever, and apparently it had a lens but it wasn't functional. Oh, so that's why it was in the bin. And they're saying, like you said, it may have been an old nanny cam. Wow.

But the family, you can imagine their surprise. They're like, okay, we've won this beer and now it's spying on us. Oh, did he? So they thought the carny had it in the, yeah. But the thing about the spy beer is that if they'd taken it to their house, it still needs to access the internet to stream it anywhere. Yeah. Or it could have had a SIM card in it,

but then that battery's only going to last so long. And how's he going to get the SIM card out of it? No, but the SIM card could broadcast it. Transmit it. Yeah, yeah. But then he's only going to get it until the battery runs out. Okay, weird that they went full conspiracy on it. It would be weird, but...

And why wouldn't you open it up to see what's in it? So it was just a lens. Well, they did. It was non-functional. So the police have investigated. They took it away. The carny's not been... No, no.

The carny's just like, what? I was just buying some cheap beers to give away to people. Goodness. So yeah, but they don't expect any illegal activity with the bear. If you ever see a bear sitting up in a room, I'm just going to go over and investigate. Because that's how they sell the main nanny cams. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Things that sit in the kid's room, kind of looking at the cot. That's why it's often a bear. Yeah. But if it's sitting on the mantelpiece or in the toilet, I'd be sus. I thought that it was wives that buy them. Because you know if it's like sitting on the mantelpiece or in the toilet, I'd be sus. I thought that it was wives that buy them. Because you know how it's always like, oh, the husband's with the babysitter again.

Again. I thought that's why they buy them. Yeah. No, no, it's to keep an eye on people babysitting your kids, right? Or nannies or anything suspicious. Right. But is that illegal? No, because you're surveying your own private property.

But you're not telling them? You're not broadcasting it. Oh, okay, right. I believe as long as it's... You don't know they're being filmed. You'd have to have a sign-off to say that they're... Yeah, you'd have to tell them. You'd have to say to them, look, we're filming this house.

But we've got security cameras in our house. But then the person who broke in would be there on a legal... Yeah, I'm not talking about people breaking in illegally. They deserve all the... Good. Grey area question. Don't know the answer to that. You can't film someone you invite into your house without them knowing, surely.

So you're saying when I've been in your house I've been filmed? All the time. That was without my express permission. You should see the best of Caitlin Reel that I'm putting together from all of you. Did you even know that you were being filmed, Caitlin, at Vaughan's house? You told me that

that's illegal. No, no, no, you're not. To 100% honesty, it's a camera. And I did say it was a camera. But I only turn it on when we're away. I don't turn it on when you're there. But isn't it always recording? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Well, what good is that if someone breaks into your house? No, you turn it on when you leave your house. There's an app on your phone and you activate it. You forget. The day you forget, someone breaks in. No, you don't forget. You remember, you're like, we're going away for the weekend. But you could be at a thing.

Yeah. A dinner. Yeah. And Caitlin's babysitting. You can dial in on the app. Could do. Haven't. Well, it's only ever me hanging out with the kids

and then eating your food from the pantry. All the different snacks in there. Sade has been blaming Vaughan for missing food from the pantry. I love eating the Cocoa Pops. To be honest, the kids did get blamed for eating Cocoa Pops out of the box. Sade was like, these are on the top shelf for a reason. To be honest, the kids did get blamed for eating Coco Pops out of the box at Walmart. Shardé was like, these are on the top shelf for a reason. How did you get up there?

Who's been in there? Who's been in the Coco Pops? Caitlin? F.E.M. Women often get jibes about our driving. Like, any woman driver. But you're always rubbing things like stats and actual insurance claims in our face. Well, that's not what I'm about to do right now, actually. Oh, but I don't like that.

But that would be mostly old mates now, wouldn't it? No, I don't hear people like younger say that. Woman a terrible driver, woman a rubbish. Like, do you reckon? Um, no, I think people still say it. Really? Yeah. Okay.

Like, people, yeah, I think they still tend to think that men are better drivers. I drove more often. And it's not a masculinity thing. I'm not like, woman in the passenger seat. How many dings have you had this year? Heaps. Heaps. It's been a very dingy year for me. I'm, like, if you're going by dings, I'm a way worse driver than my wife.

But she always also drives our nicer car and it's got a reversing cam. Like, I just back till I hit things. That's how I roll. Yeah, right. Literally into things. And I don't care about my car. Yeah, okay. But I wouldn't say you're a terrible driver.

You're just not. You're just distracted and like. Well, that's what makes a terrible driver. I mean, no, but I mean, he Well, that's what makes a terrible driver. I mean, he can drive well, he just I drive how I live. Easily distracted and kind of half arsing it. Yeah, what do those lines

mean? It means you're supposed to stay in your lane on the motorway? Skidded. Well, there's actual stats. Now, these have come out from England, but I mean, it's the same, isn't it? Because they have females and males. Yeah. Do they?

Yuck. Men are four times more likely to end up in court over, like, murdering crimes, shall we say. That's because your boobies get you off the tickets, isn't it? What? Hey. No, because do you know what else? My boobies have never got me off tickets. That's on you.

The British not only have men and women, they've got gays. Now, gays can't be swayed with boobs. Magic. Yeah, right, okay. I don't know how it works. Except the lady gays. Right.

Now, they can be swayed with boobs. This is quite confusing. I know, you're struggling to keep up. It's a topsy-turvy world out there. Male drivers have bigger claims, suggesting they are in more accidents. Yeah. Men speed more.

23% to 7% of women are caught speeding. So this is, I mean, you could argue that guys drive more because, like, I mean, in your family, Vaughn, you drive when you go out as a family more often than not Andrew will drive if we go out

as a family the two of us so yeah I mean putting that aside this is for when people are driving men get the more

men speed more often men get the more tickets that's why our premiums lower just by the way in case you were wondering almost a hundred dollars lower in England hundred pounds tickets. That's why our premium's lower, just by the way, in case you were wondering.

Almost $100 lower in England. £100 or $100? £100, sorry. Lower. Wow. Than men. Was it, where was it? Was it in America or somewhere where a guy was just like, oh, I'm female now? Give me my insurance. Oh, yeah. That wasn't that long ago.

Completely. Yeah, yeah. Belittling the transgender community. Also, drink driving. Give me my Tipper insurance Oh yeah That wasn't that long ago Completely Yeah yeah Yeah belittling the transgender community Also drink driving 5 to 1 men outweigh women with drink driving offences Because I remember in New Zealand a while ago There was a real spike in female drink driving And everyone was like what's happening Like it's always been a male dominated industry

Like middle management and CEO positions It's always been a male dominated industry, like middle management and CEO positions. It's been dominated by white males and there was a real spike. Do you remember there was that female I think, now I'm willing to stand corrected, I believe the highest drink driving breath and blood

test belonged to a female teacher. In New Zealand? She had really polished off some v-notes. We've always been so good, though, New Zealand, for equality, like female voting early on. Yeah. Female drink driving. Sure.

Anymore? Female crimes of passion. Yeah. Who's not a crime of passion? A female. Yeah. I don't know the names. Why are men like that?

Men are like a little bit more stabby, a little bit more drinky drivery. Oh, men are the absolute worst. Putting things in spaces you're not supposed to go. Yeah. There's not many women that'll go out and mass shoot. No, there's not. Maybe guns aren't the problem. Maybe it's the penises.

Which are like guns, aren't they? They're the body's gun. Much like a gun, sometimes they do just go off. So I said I had what could be the next big YouTube craze, and you know, maybe I've even missed the boat on saying

this is a craze. Gen Z, this is a Gen Z. Now, we're not hearing enough about Gen Z. This is pre-millennials. Post-millennials. Post-millennials. No, millennia, it goes... Yeah, it's after millennials. Oh, is it? Okay hearing enough about Gen Z. This is pre-millennials. Post-millennials. Post-millennials. No, millennial, it goes... Yeah, it's after millennials. Oh, is it? Okay.

Yeah, Gen Z. Gen Y was before millennials. We took a break from the alphabet. Okay. Chuck millennials in the mix. Gen Z after millennials. This is apparently big with Gen Z. Who are now like...

No, you're wrong. Gen Z is three to 23-year-olds. Pre-millennials. Oh, yeah. Okay, so You're saying the same thing. We're saying the same thing, but we're using different terms. I meant post-millennials, like after millennials. Oh, yeah. The generation after.

See, post to me would be... Oh, yeah, so you're counting... I'm looking at as it happens. Yeah, no. Okay, right, yeah. I'm looking on actual timeline of generations. I'm like timelineing. And in front of the baby boomers that are at the back.

I'm looking at the most likely to die up front. Okay. Right. And I'm waving to the young people down the back. That's my post. There we go. We're there now. We're there now.

Same thing. Same thing. Same, same. Different approach. Same, same, different. Same, same, but different. So these YouTube videos, there's one particular person leading the charge, Jamie Lee, The Strive Studies, puts up videos where she just studies.

No speaking. It's just a camera focused on her and she doesn't speak. She doesn't give tips on how to study, what to highlight, where to put those little pink post-it note things. Yeah. She just studies and one of her videos goes for 53 minutes. It's got half a million views. And she's got 93,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel.

Wait, does she put music in music? Or is it just her like tap, tap, tap? Or flicking through books? There is some music, apparently. Right. I've got study with me here. This is a real-time study session with study music. Oh, no ad.

Just going to hold my headphone cord on my laptop. So what is she doing? She's studying. So she's in front of a laptop and she's got her notebook and it's a weird shot where it's kind of if she's sitting up straight looking at the laptop

it's from her nose to about her belly button which is at the desk. Yeah. And she's sitting up straight looking at the laptop, it's from her nose to about her belly button, which is at the desk. Yeah. And she's just studying. So in a small apartment, and there's some pens in the foreground that are blurred because the depth of focus is on her. Right.

It's very calming. It's very calming. That's probably more on the music than anything. Yeah. Is it like because you want to study, buddy? That's what I was going to say, yeah. Like someone else to encourage you to sit there and do it? It's got darker now.

I'm just skipping right through. Oh, change of angle. Does she go out and get snacks? Because I get so, I mean, I'm just going back to when I used to study a long time ago, and I would get so distracted. Oh, me too. Oh, man, I'm thirsty. I can do it in a drink of water.

Oh, man, I'm hungry. I want something to eat. Oh, I need to go to the toilet. What's that noise? I better go check. There'll be no study videos from guys, I'm hungry. I want something to eat. Oh, I need to go to the toilet. What's that noise? I've got to go check. There'll be no study videos from guys, eh? Because we know what happens with guys. On a laptop, you get distracted.

Oh my God. Yeah. And you go on trade me and stuff, eh? Yes. To buy things to help you study. You don't want to be on your YouTube channel. You forget you've done that. It's just an auto-upload to YouTube.

And you're all trade me-ing all over the place. Oh, okay. Well, no, I mean, you start with automotive, but then you go into property and you're like, well, can't afford that, can't afford that. So this has been playing in the background. I've been skipping through. Yeah.

53, 52 minutes and 34 seconds have passed. I think she's got just two cameras and that's it. It's the end. The music's distracting. I think she's got just two cameras and that's it. It's the end. The music's distracting. I need silence when I'm studying. The strive of it. My brother listened to like classical music when he was studying. Is that because someone was like, it helps you with the brain?

Yeah, it helps. So he'd like crank Tchaikovsky and Mozart and stuff in headphones. I read that popcorn was brain food, so I used to just eat popcorn and not study. Study a movie and eat some popcorn. I think it was unflavoured popcorn, but I was like, yuck, who's eating that? Put some butter on this. Get some soda. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith.

Good morning. Today's Top Six deals with a story you may have seen circulating about a home in Papakura. Sorry, I incorrectly said Manurewa before. Yes. Apologies, Manurewa. Papakura, your turn. So it's a rental home and someone pays $520 a week for this house. She's got two kids.

And underneath the house, there's a problem. It basically floods every time it rains and then the water can't clear because there's no air circulation and it's all boggy and swampy and stuff. Right. And it's not just, you know, her. That's the thing. We tend to really buy into every story that's about really bad landlords or really bad tenants. Not recognising in the middle that there's some good

people. Some good people doing things for both sides. Some really good tenants and some really good landlords. But this is a case of... Because they're looking into it at the moment like property managers, aren't they? They're looking into property managers at the moment around the country to see what's happening there. But somebody went around to have a look

at this property. A councillor for the Manurewa Papakura Ward, and said the property underneath is an undrained swamp, unhealthy, mosquito infested, prone to flooding, and unworthy of any rent. Then somebody said it's a higgledy-piggledy pipe situation that if it had been done right in the first place, wouldn't have someone tried to do it on the cheap.

Right. Now there's a whole lot of problems. But it's the year of the silver lining, and we're someone tried to do it on the cheap right. Now there's back a whole lot of problems but it's the year of the silver lining and we're not trying to sweep this under the house because there's a whole other swamp under there

so it's not going under there but the top six things that would be worse to have under your house. Okay. Number six. A monster. Because when you're a kid

you definitely You throw the monster under your bed how much bigger could a monster be if it could fit under the whole house? Huge. Like Megan still runs and do you still do You thought the monster under your bed? Yeah. How much bigger could a monster be if it could fit under the whole house? Huge. Like Megan still runs and you still do that thing where you jump into bed?

Run and jump onto the bed in case something grabs me. Well, we've got a bed with a thick base, so we took the legs off, so the base just sits right on the ground. No monsters can get under there. Yeah, that's good. Oh, that's handy. Yeah, that's really good. Where do the monsters go now then?

Under the kids' beds. In the cupboards, in the wardrobe. Yeah, in the bed. We always sleep with the wardrobe door open. Oh, no. I know that fre keep the monsters out. Where do the monsters go now then? Under the kids' beds. In the cupboards, in the wardrobe. Yeah, in the big... We always sleep with the wardrobe door open. Oh, no. I know that freaks some people out. No. Why do you do that?

I hate... Oh, because it's one of those slidey doors. No. No. You've always got to shut it. Because if you shut it, you definitely are locking them in. Right. They can't leave without permission.

Yeah. They're not allowed to touch the handles. I can't sleep with my wardrobe door open. No, neither can I. That's awful. I always have to shut it. If it was sleep with my wardrobe door open. No, neither can I. That's awful. I always have to shut it. If it was a swingy open door, I would, but it's just... No, but even when I had sliding doors, I shut those all the time.

No, leave it open. Are you cutting mine? It's like a... It's fine. Also because it's really messy in there. Oh, yeah. So I like to hide that. And at night, it's an even darker black hole.

It is. You're crazy. You madman. And do you know, In the back of our wardrobe There's a Door that leads Into the ceiling space No

That's where the monsters Come in Really Okay But there's no room For them under the bed So they pop in They're like

Hello Bed rest right on the ground Where are the children Slept Oh god That's so terrifying I'm like Downstairs Oh my god Where are the children? I know, that's so terrifying. I'm like, downstairs.

Thank you. Oh, my God. Down the stairs they go. I'm like, bye. Hey, kids. Maybe I should shut the monsters are coming. Oh, my God. Number five on the list of the things, the top six worst things to have under your house in a swamp.

Number five, a volcano. Oh, wow, that's half of Auckland, isn't it? If you go down far enough, everybody's got a volcano under their house. But, you know, like right bubbling under there. It'd be nice in the winter to keep you warm, but summer, God, you couldn't cool off. No.

And toxic gases. They'll kill you. Number four on the list of the top six worst things to have under your house, a giant crab, like a really big crab. Okay. Because you know how crabs are like low to the ground and they can scuttle sideways? Yep. They're kind of freaky and unpredictable as it is crabs.

I'm just thinking. But imagine a giant one that lived under your house. Jermaine Clement though and Moana. And then maybe he'd sing with me. Nah, see he was more of a. Sing to me. More of a hermit-y crab situation. I'm old school flat crab.

Okay. Right. The ones with the eyes that poke up on top that independently move. And they're like, I got nipped by one. When we were in Fiji, I was like, you're little, you won't hurt me. And it went crack. And I was like, ah, monster. I can see how those big ones can break coconuts.

Yeah. Those coconut crabs. Bug River running into one of those. Number three on the list of the top six worst things to have under your house are undetonated World War II explosives. Wow. You feel alive every day. You're like, oh, will I blow up today? My problem would be I'd be home alone.

I'd be like, I'm going to go hit that explosive. I'd get under there and I would have a little hammer and I'd be like, tink, tink, tink, tink, tink, nothing. Tink, tink, tink, nothing. And I'd come back out with a bigger hammer and I'd be like,

pong, pong, pong. How are you not dead? Nothing. Bang, bang, bang. Nothing. Right. That's a chainsaw. The giant crab's like, don't do that.

You'll kill us all. The monster's like, he's got a point. Number two on the list of the top six worst things to have under your house than a swamp, an army of rats. Oh, yuck. Organized. Oh, right. You know when rats are by themselves, they're creepy and they're unpredictable and they're, like, quick.

Yeah. But you go under there and there's, like, a rat standing at the front that's like, all right, this is what we're going to do. That's terrifying to me. And there's, like, in a military parade kind of in a formation. You know how you hear them in your attic or whatever and they're like... Imagine that all in, like, unison.

You're making the swamp under the house sound like the better option. I know. You could be a property manager. Well, I know it's bad but it could be

an army of rats. Number one on the list of the top six things that would be worse to have under your house than a swamp a cemetery.

Oh. A pet cemetery. A pet cemetery that comes to life. You under your house in a swamp? A cemetery. Oh. A pet cemetery. A pet cemetery that comes to life. You know the remaking Pet Sematary? Are they? That is the one movie as a kid where I never watched scary movies, but everybody in Intermediate was like,

we're all watching Pet Sematary. And I was like, okay. And we watched it. I cried. I was so terrified of it. But imagine looking under your house through that little weird little door. Yep. You're like, oh, is there a leak under here?

And just seeing half a headstone popping out. I'd be like, see you later, house. It's all yours, giant crab. That is today's SopSex. FVM, the podcast. Where are you going this weekend, Ward? Thanks for asking, Megan. I am going to Mount Ruapehu, Tongariro National Park.

That's nice. You're taking the kids to see the snow and go for it. A little family trip. Correct. Why? Oh, God. It may be something that could affect your week's family trip. The Smith holiday curse continues.

So the ground beneath Mount Ruapahu is apparently rumbling. There's been some volcanic tremors. It's always active, isn't it? There's been some small earthquakes beneath the mountain since Friday, apparently. And also, so the Crater Lake was 22 degrees on the 11th of August. I didn't know it was that warm. Oh, yeah.

The Crater Lake. Because it's like in the snow, right? Yeah. So it's 22 degrees. It's now up to 30 degrees. That's getting... That's eight degrees warmer. That's getting warm enough for a winter swim.

Is that... How long have you... Would you have left your coffee before on the bench if it had got to 30 degrees? Because 90 is boiling, isn't it? Is it 90 degrees is boiling? 100.

100 degrees is boiling. Yeah, so you could swim in that. Oh, 90 degrees is that angle. like spa pools are about 40, like a hot spa.

Oh, okay. Like your average tepid bath would probably be 30. 30, okay. 29, 30.

So you could do some lengths. You can't actually swim in it because it's... It's sulfuric, isn't it? Yeah, it's acidic. It's acidic. Yeah, right. Well, you could get a good gram, like a family pic. Oh, in front of an erupting volcano.

That'd be a pretty legit gram. Don't scare people. It's not erupting. No, it's still in like alert level one. Up! Pish posh. I've been on that mountain when it was like alert level three or something. Have you?

Yeah, we rode the lahar right down to the pub. Just chill. Just take it easy. We Kiwis don't need to worry about these sorts of things. If there's a lahar, it's not level three. It's like... Well, no, the start of the day was level three. It was five, eight, ten, whatever it is.

Whatever bad is by the end of the day No need to panic You'll be absolutely fine Oh yeah It's gonna be good Fletch Vaughn And Megan

The Podcast For a while Fletch has had A 65 inch television When did you get it When you moved into Your apartment right A couple of years ago

And I hoped You'd hang it on the wall And I was like Oh damn We put the speakers perfectly next to it in the middle, centered. It was good. It felt good.

It was symmetrical. And you know I love symmetry. I know. It looked good. And I was like, you know, but he's living the bachelor lifestyle. This is bachelor pad. Yeah, it's bachelor TV.

I'm sitting over here with my 50-inch TV. Happily married with two kids. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I grew up with a 14 inch and then as a family I think the biggest we had before

I moved out was a 29 inch did you have a TV in your room as a kid yeah it was the caravan TV from when we went caravanning over summer we brought it inside

mum and dad were just like I don't know about this but then you're flash and you just kept quiet in your room they were like this is a good idea

it had no remote so we had a broomstick and we'd like you sound like Simon Bridges my mum knew how to make a dollar go further

my mum said you can have the TV but no remote so we did it hard being poor back in the day doesn't justify you being a rich dick now

we did it a bit are you talking to me or Simon Bridges you oh no you're talking to me there Simon Bridges? You. Oh, no, you're talking to me. There's the R word around here. So, and then Megan had a party at her house for her birthday and I walked in.

Lo and behold, I'm met with another 65-inch television. Same TV, great TV. Same TV. And I'm like this. This shan't do. This shan't do. And I whispered to myself, this shan't do. This shan't do.

And I said to Shana, I think it's time we upsize the TV. Right. And in our house, the TV sits under a window. Yep. A long window. A high long window. The TV sits under there above a cabinet.

A low sitting cabinet. Yep. And she said, we don't need bigger than this. This is as big as the TV needs to get. Don't you go getting a new TV. Okay. Where the TV is fine. Because the TV needs to get. Don't you go getting a new TV. Okay. Where the TV is fine.

Because it's all perfectly symmetrical. Well, it's like, it fits in the gap and it's not big. And then we go places sometimes like, damn, that TV is tight. And she's like, it's too big for the area. It's overpowering. It's too big for the area. And she's all about, you'll remember.

Did she say that about my TV? No, no, because you've got that whole wall. I've got a big TV. She didn't say that about your TV either. But you know where you go some places and it's too big for the air and she's all about, well, you'll remember. Did she say that about my TV? No, no, because you've got that whole wall. I've got a big TV. She didn't say that about your TV either. But yeah, well, you go some places and it's a big TV and I'm just like, tight. And she's like, too tight, too tight. And you know, she's all about what happens on the walls in the house. You'll remember the recent child portrait debacle.

Yeah. So with that sort of like fresh in my mind. And recently I paid out Panasonic as being an 80s brand. debacle. Yeah. So with that sort of like fresh in my mind and recently I paid out Panasonic as being an 80s brand. Remember that we had a little bit of light banter. There was some light banter. Panasonic HQ heard about it and they were

like, we've got a deal for you. And I was like, I love a deal and I want a big TV. Old Smithy, easily bought. Always easily bought. Born to be a sellout, sure am. And I'll. Vaughan, you're a sellout. Sure am. And I'll watch the story of my selloutness on a brand new 65 inch Panasonic. I saw this

unfolding on your Instagram story last night. Now, one crucial part was I didn't tell Sade that I'd got it. Right, okay. I love the start of that text conversation. Vaughan-y. Oh, yes, yes, yes. So So I was at home. We left work yesterday pretty early.

I was like pretty keen to get out of here. And the reason, yeah, Fortnite. But the reason being I got an email saying it was going to be delivered. Okay. So I'm at home waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. It didn't come. It got to the point where the girls went to kiddies yoga. And I was like, I'll take them to kids yoga.

And I was like, but it's not going to come today because it's getting too late in the day. Okay. So I leave. I literally leave, take the girls, and I get a message that's like, Vaughn-y. Dot, dot, dot. And I'm like, I knew immediately.

I was like, oh, shit. It's happened. It's happened. The delivery's been made. She said that the guy knocked and was like, hi there. It's happened. It's happened. The delivery's been made. She said that the guy knocked and was like, hi there. This is for Vaughan Smith. And she's like, I don't believe it is. He would have said.

And yeah, I put the story on my Instagram, but yeah, she was not impressed because when she got it inside, it was bigger than our couch and the box and everything. Yeah. So it was, I used my cuteness to get out of it. But then when you set it up, she must have gone, okay, yep. Because it looks real nice. She's like, it's a nice picture, but it's now the wall. Oh, she's still going to lift it. But look at it.

It's like you don't go to the cinema and only have half the wall at the front taken up by the – Doesn't it reach the window? So there's a few extra holes in my wall behind the TV because the old bracket wouldn't do. So I moved it and there's holes in the wall. And then that was too high for her, so I rearranged it. So there's like a lot of holes. I need to do some patchwork. There's a lot of holes.

Which I'm setter as well, but then I just use my extreme cuteness and like, bit of eyelid. Yeah. Well, as somebody pointed out on your Instagram last night, Love Island will look really good on that big Panasonic 65 inch.

Shame she's finished both seasons. You're going to have to wait a little bit for that. And when it does come around, she'll need to fill out the booking book, the sheet to, you know,

secure some time in front of it because I've kind of mostly fortnight. I've sort of blanket booked it for the foreseeable future. Right. But I got away with it

due to cuteness and many people asked me how I did it. Yeah. It's a hard thing to explain but the Vaughan Smith School for getting away with silly things due to extreme cuteness

is opening for business next year. Right. Many to be made. But I wanted to know this morning what other big purchases because I started hearing from people. Yeah. A woman,

a girl messaged me, a female, a lady. Yeah. A damsel. A damsel. A woman. A female said, oh, I don't know why your wife's angry. My partner bought a $70,000 car at the weekend. Zero consultation.

Gee, 70, who has $70,000? And doesn't even mention it to the owner that they're going to spend that kind of money. I know, it just goes out and comes back with a new car that cost them $70,000. No way. Okay, that's nothing compared to a TV. And somebody else said they booked an overseas trip, but only had the money for one of them. So didn't book flights with their partner, just booked themselves and they said, oh. You can come later.

You can come if you want, but you don't have to, but I'm going. Whoa. Wow. Yeah, yeah. So I'd love to know the big purchases that your partner didn't know about until they'd been purchased. Maybe it was your partner that surprised you with a big purchase. 0800 dials at M.

Give us a call. You can text 9696. We want to know from you this morning about big purchases that you didn't tell your partner about before making the purchase. Two reasons we're talking about it. Funny, sure. But two, I can also compile a list of things that you have done that's worse than what I did by buying a television

that my wife said was too big for the space. And then later on, if she brings it up, you're going to come and be like, well, at least I didn't buy a blah, blah, blah like Sansai this morning. Well, like a $70,000 car. I know. It's ridiculous. That was just from what I heard about last night.

And we've heard from even more people about even crazier things. Somebody said, my partner of 12 years bought a plot of land worth $950,000 without even mentioning it. How do you not? So they can't be talked out of it? Like, oh, that's a stupid idea. Spending nearly a million dollars.

I don't know, but it was the last straw. And needless to say, we're no longer together. Did they get half of it? Half of the debt accrued by buying a $950,000. Somebody said my partner is exactly like this with big Lego sets. Doesn't say anything, comes back in and I'll be like, where are the others? Because there's always others. Leads with a small one,

but there's always a couple of big ones still in the car. Yeah. And I make him go and get it and admit to it. Somebody else said I bought a 10 grand car didn't tell my missus until she found the paperwork

that came in the mail with the transfer of ownership. But they're going to see the car. You know? Yeah, but you could be like oh, it's just $2,000. Yeah. Oh, yeah, right.

In Blenheim there's a garden store that has a pet shop connected to it. Okay. My mum went to get tomato plants and came home with a puppy. That's how they get out. That's understandable. Came in. That's a lifelong purchase as well.

That's a lifelong purchase to that one. Somebody else said that their partner went out and came back. It was dark, came inside, didn't say anything. In the morning when I went outside, there was a Unimog parked outside. What's a Unimog? A Unimog. What is that? An army vehicle.

You know when you see those army trucks on the road that sit up a mile off the road on those massive wheels? They're like a truck. What the hell? Where do you even get one of those from? I don't know where you get a uni mob from. I'm imagining, like, Turner's Car Auction

probably doesn't do a uni mob. Right. Fraser, your dad surprised, what was it, mum, with a purchase? Yeah, he went to the dentist one time and came home with a TV.

Right. I can't remember where he was another time, and he came home with a car. Right, so he does this all the time. Yeah, he's a bit of an offender for it. Does mum make him take it back or how does she react?

No, no, once it's done, it's done. She sort of accepted the fact. Yeah, well, what do they say? It's better to ask for forgiveness, isn't it? Yeah, beg for forgiveness and ask for permission. Thanks, Fraser. My dad bought a $200,000 boat without telling my mum. She wasn't particularly thrilled and still isn't particularly

thrilled about that large boat purchase. Going out on the boat? No. Maybe not, but maybe that's why dad bought it. Yeah, to get away from mum. Yeah. I don't want to plant seeds of doubt in the marriage. Alright, well, this Sunday

is Father's Day. And to celebrate we are taking a look at what dads love to cook. Dad's disaster recipes. Yeah, when dad was left in charge of dinner for mum. And, you know, sometimes dads are legends. Well, your dad's a very good cook, isn't he? Yeah, 100%. He can make leftovers into anything.

It's always delicious. We always loved it when dad was cooking as a kid. We have recreated our dad's go-to disaster dinner. They's always delicious. We always loved it when Dad was cooking as a kid. Well, we have recreated our Dad's go-to disaster dinner. They're not great. I'm going to delve into my father-in-law's legendary recipe book.

We've made them all up and next, we've got a special guest in, Nadia Lim, and she is going to judge which one of our Dad's dinners is best. And if it'll make it into My Food Dad.

My Food Dad! Yes! Copyright that before she gets to it. I think she has the first two words. We're joined in studio by Nadia Lim. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for popping in. No worries. We do, whilst we

will happily accept what you've bought for us in the form of your new heat and eat. What's that? Beef and mushroom pie. Yeah, they're backups. I just thought

just in case you guys need a little bit of help in the kitchen, I've got you covered. Well, so we have recreated our dad's go-to dinners

from when, because mum sometimes would go away for work and dad would be in charge and it was all on the fry pan for you it was all on the fry pan

all on the fry pan yeah for when dad was cooking my dad was actually pretty good yeah at cooking yeah because his mum

said to him there's no way you're going to be as useless as your father because my papa never set foot oh I love her never set foot

oh she you would have liked her smart woman she was like feminist before she knew that was a thing. Yeah. So she said to her sons, you know, you're going to know how to put things together.

So he was always really good. So I've delved into my father-in-law's sort of recipe. So you're pretty confident with his meal? No. It's terrible. Oh, okay. That's it. My father-in-law's is terrible.

Right. Do you find when you go out places, people will worry about what they're serving you? Or have to comment about it? Well, the thing is, I mean, I don't know because no one ever says, but people always say that to me. So maybe people do, but they shouldn't because I'm actually really easy to please.

I'm not fussy. I'll eat everything. You know, give me baked beans on toast. If it's at someone else's house, I'm happy. So like after you've eaten the meal when they're like clearing up they're like and how was that nadia like was it okay none of that especially my well my mother-in-law always because um once i made the very silly mistake of um being very honest about her cooking skills on tv on national tv

this is like seven years ago straight after masterChef and I didn't have the whole TV filter thing going and so she was distraught and now every time we have dinner at her house she's like, so how was the broccoli and how was this? How was that? Did I cook it right this time? Let it go, mom. You steal her son then slam her

cook it. Do you have any of these bountiful bars from January left from your Instagram? Did you bring any of those? Iiful bars from January left from your Instagram? Oh, I could always make some more. Did you bring any of those? Yeah. Oh, no, I didn't bring those for you today, but I could. Did you not get Caitlin's message?

No. We told Caitlin to really put a proviso of slices, but she refused. Because I love your slices. Every time I see a slice, I'm just like, yep. Oh, sneaky little request. Thanks, Caitlin, for not passing that on. Next time. Hey, there's always next time

Okay well let's do this You're going to judge Our dad's meals Who are we going to bring in first Producer Caitlin Whose meal Should we go with first Oh no should you say

Should you say Or should it be blind Oh I think it should be Yeah maybe Yeah keep it blind Keep it blind Okay alright We don't want any bias

We're going to bring in The first dad's Disaster dinner So just checking You guys have cooked this Yes we have We're going to bring in the first Dad's Disaster Dinner. So just checking you guys have cooked this. Yes, we have. We're trying to recreate. So it's a bit cold because we did it before.

We can explain what each dish is. Someone loves tomato sauce. Even on tomatoes, which is a nice touch, isn't it? Okay, so what's on that plate? Okay, we've got grilled tomatoes. I think it's fish fingers. I think. And some fried eggs and shitloads of tomato sauce. Yeah, brilliant.

That's a classic, all right. Warren's just going to have a... By the way, that yolk is dad cooked. Yeah, oh yeah. It's a bit like a ping pong ball. It's a bit rubbery, isn't it? It's a bit rubbery. There's no rub.

But that's good because you're pregnant and you're not supposed to eat a soft yolk. Oh, get in. Okay. I'm so sorry. Try a tiny bit of the fish. I don't know. Oh, that is grey on the inside.

You don't have to. Well, it's crunchy. At least the coating's crunchy. You got a bit of like, you know, some grill marks on the tomato, which is nice. Egg is overcooked, sorry. Okay. Out of 10, what would we give that? Presentation, I don't know, maybe a five.

Okay. I mean, you haven't seen the others yet, though, have you? So let's bring in the next star. The tomato sauce is quite fancy. If it was hot, I think you could bring it up to a six. Or a five and a half. Oh, okay. Wow.

Toast. White toast with mashed banana and raisins on it. And Marmite. No. Oh, who did that? Are you serious?

Who did that, Megan? What about the sweet savoury combo? Isn't that a thing? True. You're sweet and salty. Yeah. You're going to get

some Marmite in there. Okay. This is a first for me. I've never had marmite with banana and raisins on toast. And white bread. Okay, that's interesting. It's not actually bad at all. Is it not?

No, it isn't. Did you find the marmite? I just got through, the banana fell off the side of my mouth and the marmite hit the roof. Wow, that's weird. It's kind of like, I don't know how to describe that, eh? All right, let's bring in the next meal. It's savory.

Yeah, it's salty, and it almost tastes like it's got this charcoal-y burnt. Right. Now, this is another dad's disaster dinner. How would you describe that? Okay, that looks pretty insipid. It kind of looks like a bowl of sick mixed with worms. And Bodhi would be

like, worms, worms. My little two year old. Right. So he'd be really excited by this. Kids love any form of noodle don't they? Me not so sure. What are the chunks in there? Yeah, good question. I can tell you what those are. Vaughan, do you know what those are? Those are fish fingers. No, they're fish fingers. Oh, really?

Yeah. And do you put them in your corn? Oh, don't eat that. I told you. Don't eat that. I told you guys that when fish fingers didn't have crumbing on them, sometimes they appeared great. Yeah. It looks like taro.

How do you make fish such a perfect square like that? Yeah. How did you cut them like that? Oh, you'll have to ask the people at the factory. Okay. I'll try a tiny bit of this. Oh, no, no. You don't have to. You don't have to.

Okay. So there's a bit of Maggi in that? Yeah. Yeah. So it's Maggi, two-minute noodles and fish fingers. That's my father-in-law's

famous fish finger soup. All right. I thought, but you were saying before that he's quite a... No, my actual father is. Oh, your actual father is. But this is my wife.

Oh, sorry. Tells horror stories about her father being in charge of cooking and saying, fish finger soup. And they were like... He can say things about his father-in-law because he doesn't live in the country. So he's not listening. Yeah.

No. Do you reckon any of the other dads are listening in today? Maybe, but they know, my dad knows. He fries everything. And this is Megan's dad's toast creation. I think, I mean, we started off kind of average, but

it kind of progressively got worse. I think if I had to pick any, I'd probably be going for the first one, the grilled tomatoes. John, that's John, that's my dad. Fried eggs and fried fish fingers with tomato sauce all over it. Fletch Senior. Well done.

So second is the Marmite banana raisins toast. Yeah, probably. Third place fish finger soup. Yeah, it's just, yeah. I mean, once you take the crumbing off those fish fingers, they really do. Yeah, it lets it down. Yeah. They are.

It is something else. Wow. There you go. Well, we're going to make these. Good job, dads. Good job. Yeah. Dads, it looks so good. I didn't It is something else. Wow. There you go. Well, we're going to make these. Good job, dads. Good job. Dads, it looks so good. I don't know.

It's the thought that counts, right? Yeah, it is. It is. That's what you can also say back to your dad on Father's Day when you give him a rubbish gift. Yeah, exactly. Anani, thanks so much for popping in. No worries. Yeah, but I've got your backups for you.

I think that's going to work much better. You've got beef and mushroom pie and Japanese miso chicken. I'll fight you for the chicken. Whoever wants that. I know, it's on your phone. All right, Nadia, let me thank you so much.

So here's a situation that's been bubbling behind the scenes for two weeks. Caitlin is going down south this weekend. Skiing, is that right? Yeah. Round Hill? No, probably go Dobson.

Dobson. Going to the Dobson field. Yeah, Dobson, yep. And Fletch is also going to the airport this weekend for what can only be suspected to be some sort of sordid Sydney weekend. We're going over to hang with friends. What is... At least he's telling us he's leaving the country this time.

Yeah, not my last time. Well, you ask too many questions and you start making up stories like it's happening right now. It's funny when you make up a story but you're always right. Anyway. It's going to get red. Yeah, don't panic about it. But you guys know how to wind me up.

That's what we do best to each other. We just found out Caitlin was going to the airport and said, I'm going to the airport too. I'll catch a ride. Second time within the space of a month. Well, last time it was a lie, wasn't it? He went with you, but then he deviated. Yeah, last time you straight lied to my face.

Well, our flights are pretty much, mine's an hour after yours. So this is a great chance to carpool and save the environment. Oh, yeah, because that's why you're doing it. So then Caitlin says, well, fine, you can pay for the parking of my car while it's at the airport, and Fletch is aghast. They even look at his face then on hearing it again, and he was shook. How much is parking? So for this, because my sister's picking my car up on Saturday,

it's only there for one night, so it's $27. Absolutely not. That's the price of, I could get either a shuttle or a bus. You're not going to get a shuttle. You're not going to get a shuttle. I've been on a shuttle with you for work and you were just like, oh my God. We kept stopping at everyone else's house first. You can't get a shuttle for $25.

It's more than that. Sunshine, yeah. Well, I mean, I'll just pay a bit extra to go on an Uber. I don't care. A bit extra? It would be way more than that. No, because you know Westpac are doing that thing, if you're a customer, every third Uber's free.

So I do this thing where I just go home from work, which is like a 10-minute walk, and I'll just go on the Uber for two minutes. I'll do that twice and then save up my ride for the airport. So it's only going to be $30. So you'd rather pay the $30 to an Uber than pay $30 to help Caitlin out. Yeah.

Because she parks like eight kilometres away from the airport. She parks at the park and ride. Yeah, but you have to wait for the people to take you and then it's just... I would do that if I wasn't paying for it. She should give me a ride for free. She's going anyway.

She has to pay anyway. So then, short of not... As you can see, he's not keen to pay for parking. Then the notion was floated that he pays with petrol then. And again, $5. $5?

Have you seen Bridget? She burns through petrol. You're going anyway. $5 is better than nothing. No, but... That's through petrol? You're going anyway. $5 is better than nothing. No. That's a muffin. You're sitting in my car. You're the one that wants the service.

She's going anyway. We're leaving from work. But she can just say no. I could say no. I fixed your fence. You would never let me forget about it. You can't do one good deed and You would never let me forget about it. You can't do one good deed and die out on that forever. I will.

So the fence took care of the last time she took you to the airport. I would say that. What is the poll like? We asked the question on Instagram. If you go to the airport and your friend's going anyway, should you have to chip in? Yeah. What's the latest voice?

Should you? Hold on just a moment. I'll bring it back up. It was pretty close before, before I pointed to, pointed people towards it. At the moment, it's sitting at

52% saying yes, you should have to chip in. And 48% saying no. Margin of error of three, plus or minus 3%. So, 50%. No.

52% are on my side. What are you talking about? It's a margin of error, it's 50-50. I don't even understand what that means. 52% are on my side. What are you talking about? Well, it's a margin of error. It's 50-50. I don't even understand what that means. It's a margin of error. No, there's no margin of error because people literally are tapping yes or no on this.

There's no errors. No, but a lot of people go, next, next, next, next, next, so they accidentally vote for Caitlin's one. Fletch, I have to put up with you in the car. You get my amazing entertainment in the car on the way there. I get you safely to the airport. $7 petrol money.

No, you have to pay more just for a fletch tax. To be in your company. What is a fletch tax? For my frown line. Yeah, because there's going to be definite whinging on that car ride. A hundred percent.

Oh, whinge about that. Quick, take over, Caitlin. Go in the faster lane. Why are we mucking around? Why are you taking the wrong lane? You're too close to that car. I do tell Caitlin there are better lanes to be in. Christ, Caitlin.

Because she goes in the wrong lanes. Oh, God. Okay, so $8 max petrol money is... You know what? Take your Uber. Just take it. Oh, yes. I like this.

Take your Uber. I don't care. I'm actually not going to tell you when I'm leaving and where from. I'm going to park my car a different place tomorrow. Do you know how bartering works? You're the one who wants the service. You don't go $8 max. You're going to have to pay.

Okay, $9.50 is my absolute top offer for petrol. It's not even going to cost you $5 in petrol to get there. Yeah, it will because you're sitting in there making it heavier. And there's wear and tear. There's wear and tear. She just called you fat. I'm just saying, two people other than just one person.

$10. And your luggage, you're going to Australia, you've got a big bag. No, I need more, I need $50. $100,000. $100,000. Do you know how negotiating works? How long has this been No, I need more. I need 50. 100,000. 50, 100,000. Now. That's a great number. Do you know how negotiating works?

How long has this been going, Secret Sound? Six weeks. Six weeks. Soundkeeper Annabelle, good morning. Good morning, guys. In like 15 minutes, it's just going to be Annabelle again. Oh, yeah, true. She won't be keeping any sounds.

She can still be Soundkeeper. Because she won't be keeping it. It won't be an active title. Right. It'll be dissolved. It'll be redundant. She could still be Soundkeeper. Because she won't be keeping it. It won't be an active title. Right. It'll be dissolved. It'll be redundant. Sound saying, Annabelle. Former Soundkeeper.

Former Soundkeeper. Annabelle, how are you feeling? You're back from your geography field trip. Geography. Whatever it is. History field trip. Dolphin. Dolphin field trip.

Dolphin watching field trip. Oh, yeah. I'm really nervous. So this is, there's been guesses all the way through, but I guess this is the one that really counts. Yeah. This is one where you either get the money or you lose it all.

Basically. Okay, because there is only one chance left and the activator is about to play any second. Yesterday's clue, was that for you, was that quite a big one, do you think, for people? Was that what made last night quite sleepless? Yeah, yeah.

That really, yeah. Had a bit of a cry to mum. Really? Like, what did you say? I was just like, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. And she was, yeah, just, she was really upset she couldn't be here for me. Yeah. Aw. Well, it's out of your control. and she was, yeah, just, she was really upset she couldn't be here for me and yeah.

Aw. Well, it's out of your control. So, you know, you don't need to stress about it. But $50,000. In like five minutes. No, just relax. Relax. It's fine.

It's no big deal. Well, you're not going to lose anything technically because you don't have it yet. Yeah, that's true. That's how Megan justifies spending when she gets like a tax refund or something. She's like it wasn't money I had in the first place. Exactly. We have reached the pinnacle

of radio competitions. A Stanley knife. A hole punch. A safe measure. A clothing rack. Turning the knob. Hole punch. Darking. The safe measure. Pushing the coat hangers along a clothing rack. Now, $50,000 comes down to one moment. Prepare the novelty check.

ZM's Secret Sound. The final guess with Save My Bacon. Oh, I just got goosebumps and I'm nervous for you. Soundkeeper Annabelle. I'm nervous. Is there anything you find relaxing, like cat pictures? Because I just accidentally opened up this picture of this husky dog and it's put me a little bit at ease.

And I thought maybe you could do some sort of visual calming. Well, I don't think the confetti cannons are helping. They could be for you. They could be. Megan, I just want to say identify which way to twist because as a man who's twisted in the wrong way on multiple occasions and had a real dead fire.

Yeah, sometimes they don't work. Sometimes they don't work. Alright, so for those that have maybe just joined us and don't know, this is the last guess for ZM's secret sound. Thanks to Save My Bacon. After weeks and weeks of guesses. It seems it's proven to be a hard one. Yeah.

Because people haven't guessed it thus far. You made the sound, Soundkeeper Annabelle, in your flat somewhere. And we've had a video tour and that doesn't seem to have helped because that video was like two weeks ago. It didn't help us in our guessing, and we were literally there. And they cut out heaps of the other stuff we fiddled with on that flight tour, so it's like, whittled it down. I watched the video, I'm like, oh, okay, it's in here somewhere.

It's got to be something. So, you're about to either get $50,000 or be very extremely sad and disappointed because we have somebody on the phone who is going to have a guess. Now, Jamie joins us. Jamie, we don't want your guess just yet, but good morning. Hi.

Now, do you feel any pressure, Jamie? Yes. Have you been playing along the whole time, Jamie, or have you just fluked it to get through today with your... I actually haven't tried calling up until today. Okay, there are going to be some angry people right now. Didn't someone win an earlier season of Secret Sound? The first time they called?

Yeah, they swanned in last minute. First time they'd called. Again, Annabelle, just don't stress this. I'm nervous for you Now Jamie would you give If you guess this correctly Will you give soundkeeper Annabelle

Any money Considering that she's been here For nearly six weeks She made the sound And she could In minutes Get nothing Yeah I definitely would

Yeah Because I've been Trying to think of a guess That would be Actually Right Okay I finally feel like I might have something How much Yeah, because I've been trying to think of a guess that would be actually right. Okay. I finally feel like I might have something. How much?

How much? I think maybe, I was thinking five. $5,000. Okay. That's very generous. That's way more than I got from hanging out at a radio station for the first six weeks of my career. Yeah, yeah. Me too.

That's a very good hourly rate for an intern. Would you be happy with that, Soundkeeper Annabelle? $5,000? I'm honestly just happy with anything from this experience. It's been really fucking, really, really cool. Really cool. Really cool. The nerve!

I didn't say anything! Shit, six weeks! Heck, I was. Six weeks, wow!'t say anything! Shit, six weeks! Heck, I will. Six weeks, wow! It's been very cool. Now, Soundkeeper Annabelle, we're going to do this, because it is the last guest, we're going to do this a little bit differently.

A little bit differently. We're going to ask you now to don some noise-cancelling headphones. So you can't hear what's happening on the show. And we're going to ask you to leave the room now, please. Leave the studio here. So you can take your headphones off. And if you just walk out there, that's Al. Happy birthday, Al.

Happy birthday, Al. Happy birthday. He makes the things that you hear on ZM. And so much more. He does so much more, but that's what he's known for sure. We're padding until we get the thumbs up that she can't hear what we're talking about. Okay, she's in the studio.

We can see her in the studio next to us through the glass window. She's sitting down. Are we good? Are we all clear? Yeah, well, they can't hear us in that studio, and they don't even have the noise-cancelling headphones on. We're good, so she can't hear us. She can't hear us.

She can't hear us. Okay, Jamie. Jamie. Yeah? Now that she's gone, would you still give her $5,000? Yes. Oh, good. Alright. Now,

$50,000, Jamie, is yours if you can tell us what the ZM secret sound is. Okay. I think it is changing your phone case. Changing the phone case? Yeah. On your phone.

So, like, if you've got a... Like, I've got one. Ooh, that does make, like, a click. Do you want to hear my one? Oh, no, my one's a bit... You've got one there, Vaughn? Yeah, mine's padded on the inside. It's a padded... Yeah, I don padded on the inside. It's padded.

Yeah, I don't know about that, actually. Oh, Megan. That's louder. It depends on your phone case, I guess. Let's hear the extended version. No. Now, if I'm honest, I think it's something to do with the phone Yeah, just because

that clue last time Yeah People have guessed the clicking like when you turn your phone to silent right, people have guessed that

haven't they? Yeah And it's not that we've had the no from that So people are obviously because of the latest clue interested around the phone

How does it add up with the other clues, Jamie? Yeah, it seems to kind of fit, especially with the everything is safe thanks to me, so your phone's kind of safe. Right.

What was that one about you see it once a year or whatever? Yeah, so... How does that work? So it says something like you may hear it once a year, but you see part of it

80 times a day, so you see part of your phone case 80 times a day. Okay. But you might not change it that often. That's the clue that really made me think it was a phone. FEM. And it's all come down to this one moment, $50,000. We're about to find out what it is.

Soundkeeper Annabelle is back in the studio with us. We've taken off the noise-cancelling headphones. What was it like being next door, having no idea? There was really intense music that was just... Oh, my God. Well, we didn't want you to hear anything. They Guantanamo made her. Yeah, pretty much.

My heart was just... Yeah. What's a steady hand test like? I've got pretty steady hands. Oh, no, you've got hand test like? I've got pretty steady hands. Oh, no, you've got really steady hands. I've got really sweaty palms. Oh, yeah. My hands are shabby.

Mine are super sweaty. Your knees weak? Your arms are heavy? Because there's vomit on your skin. It's my spaghetti. Okay. So we're going to do this a little bit differently this time. You are not going to hear Jamie's guess.

Jamie is on the phone though. Jamie, are you ready to find out if you've won $50,000 cash? You are? Yeah. Okay. So I have an envelope which has the winner of our secret sound in it. And up till this point, even though you're holding the envelope, Megan, you don't know what the secret sound is.

We don't know. No, we don't know. So I still don't even know who's won this. Even though I've heard her guess. By opening it. For $50,000. God, I'm nervous! Either Jamie or Annabelle, soundkeeper Annabelle.

We're popping these confetti things either way, right? Yeah, well, someone's going to win. Oh, I'm sorry. If it's not you, I'll pop it this way. I'll be like... Oh, no, she's getting $5,000

if Jamie wins. Oh, that's all right. Jamie has said that. We've got that audio recorded. It's a legal contract, Jamie. We'll see you in court, Jamie. Yeah. I think this is the most

nervous I've ever been. She's been married twice. Yeah. It's something. Okay, so I've got the piece of paper out of the envelope. It's folded up into a million pieces.

The winner of ZM's Secret Sound for $50,000. How long do I wait? Well, Ryan Seacrest on He Waits Ages. Let's go have some lunch and come back and do it. $50,000 goes to... Oh, she poked her face

she looked and she hasn't given us an inch Soundkeeper Annabelle Yeah Soundkeeper Annabelle you have done it you have won $50,000 Jamie it is not a phone case You have done it. You have won $50,000.

Jamie, it is not a phone case clipping onto a phone. That's all right. She deserves it. I'm so sorry, Jamie. But thank you anyway. She's crying. Thank you, Jamie. Man, that's awesome. Are you crying as well?

Everybody's crying. Fletch is crying. I'm not crying. After six weeks, soundkeeper Annabelle has won $50,000. How are you feeling? We didn't see the flatmates the whole competition, but they are here today.

So it's not a phone case clipping on. No, it's not. It didn't sound like when she said that, I was like, I just don't think it is because it's... It's just not noisy enough, I don't think. But then you never know because the sound is amplified. So... Are you contractually obliged to even say? Because if it was me,

I'd get some sort of sick pleasure in not ever saying it. You are... We need to know. You are obliged. Well, you know how I said a Zedium announcer said it on air? Yep. I'm going to get Clint to tell everyone what the sound is. Are you kidding me?

He gave it away? No, he didn't give it away because remember it was... He didn't even know I was talking about it. Yeah. Okay, I'm just going to go back into the audio archives. August 6, 2018, 5.13pm. Brie and Clint talk about things that are better than S-E-X. That's sex.

What about, you know when you get a new iPhone? Yes. The feeling of peeling that plastic off the screen for the first time. Oh, yeah. What? I heard that. Oh! Wasn't it just last night, Vaughn, when you got your new TV?

I was like, peel all that bloody plastic off. Oh, and it was sweet. We were talking about that. Remember, you're like talking about how you hate it when people don't peel off plastic off new things. Oh, when I use an F-plus machine in the dairy, I always peel it off. Like, they shouldn't have that on there.

Over the course of this, I got a new iPad and it came with the sticks on it. I peeled those off in the studio and then put on a... It's quite a thick plastic, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Almost like a warbly board. So, I guess up close. Wow, okay.

So, the secret sound is peeling the plastic off a new iPhone. That So the secret sound is peeling the plastic off a new iPhone. That is the secret sound of 2018. That has made you $50,000 richer. Was it when people started guessing and talking online last night about it being about a phone? Was that nerve wracking? Yeah. I gave up and I went to sleep and I was like, I turned my Wi-Fi and my data off

so I didn't get any more notifications because that freaked me out. Well, $50,000. What are you going to do with that, student Annabelle? I don't know. I had all these plans and they've just gone now. I'm just, I'm speechless. Do you think you'll be sensible with the money or? Yeah, yeah, I will be.

Oh, lame. Don't listen to Aunty Megan. Just pretend it was the $30,000 secret sound and be sensible with $30,000. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'd be crazy with the other $20,000. Yeah, definitely we'll have fun with it. Congratulations, Soundkeeper Annabelle, you've done it.

Thanks to Save My Bacon. You are the winner of our latest secret sound. Congratulations. Thank you. Well, it's over. Soundkeeper Annabelle has done it. She's held out

for six weeks and the ZM secret sound will play the extended version. So just by itself, it was the protective cover being peeled off your iPhone. Screen protector. The screen protector.

So, yeah, there's a whole lot of clues that we got throughout The Secret Sound. Let's touch on a few of those. So, clue number one, everything I do on social media is a clue. Well, that is purely because her phone with her screen protector, everything she updated, she used her phone. Is power the key? Well, the phone uses power with her screen protector, everything she updated, she used her phone. Is power the key? Well, the phone uses power. The screen protector doesn't.

Clue number three, safe and secure to start, but I'm not feeling comfortable just yet. So you get a phone case, then you've got to put a screen protector on it. I think that was, now that we know, that seems like a good clue. To really nail this cash, it helps if you already have some. You use your nails to peel it off, but you also need cash to buy a smartphone.

Okay. Clue number six, me versus the nation. This sound is dividing us. Maybe we can work together. Everyone's working against Annabelle to take her money. Therefore, the sound is dividing her and the nation. Taking the screen protector off your phone is dividing it from your phone. Right.

You need both parts to make the sound. Everything is safe thanks to me. Screen protector. Yep. It's protecting everything. And then the last clue, you might hear me once a year, but around 80 times a day you give part of me a stare. You look at your phone on average 80 times a day. That was

the phone clue, the big phone clue. And then you might only hear me once a year when you replace your screen protector. So peeling a screen protector off a smartphone. Seems obvious now. That is the answer. I said a new iPhone or whatever. Same. Obviously you've got to be quite specific when you say

these answers after people have been spending six weeks of their life. Yeah, they've gone full-blown True Detective season three. Yeah, they have. They have. So Sound Camera Annabelle, you are $50,000 richer. Yep. Has it sunk in yet? No.

We've got your mum and dad on the phone. Oh my gosh. Good morning, Adele. How are you? Hello, I'm good, thank you. Oh! Well done, darling. Was that nerve-wracking to listen to?

Oh my God, yes. Have you been crying, Adele? Oh, darling. Was that nerve-wracking to listen to? Oh, my God, yes. Have you been crying, Adele? Oh, yes. She's crying right now. You can hear it in her voice. As a mum, has there been like a... Oh, sorry, what was that? I'm so excited for her.

As a mum of the length of this competition, has there been like a highlight and a lowlight for you? It's quite hard when you're a parent not to get involved. I don't know, three single day, I've had my alarm set three times a day to listen to her. And a couple of times I missed it and I thought, oh my God, if someone got it, I would never forgive myself. Oh, Michelle.

Two clues came through and yeah, no, I lost it last night. Are you going to give her any advice on how to spend the money? Annabelle's pretty good with money, so I don't think I'm going to need to. Okay, I mean, but you should be expecting a good Christmas present, though, right? Oh, yeah, that'd be nice. All right, well... That's a mum-ass. We've got Dad Britt on the phone. Good morning, Britt. Yeah, how'd be nice. All right, well... That's a mum-ass. We've got Dad Brett on the phone.

Good morning, Brett. Yeah, how are you guys going? Good, good. Now, how did you feel? Did you cry as well? Oh, mate, what a bloody ride, wasn't it? It was up and down all over the place. But did you cry, Brett?

No, I didn't. I actually held it in there because I'm sitting in front of all my students in the class. We had you guys going on speaker on the computer system, so everybody was invested in it, and I had to hold it together for those guys. Well, you can't cry in front of the class. No, you cannot show a group of students weakness,

or that will pounce. Remember that time you cried, sir? Get out of my classroom. And do you have advice for spending the $50,000? Hey, we've already given Annabelle advice, and it's almost, you can save some, spend some, and just go out and enjoy yourself, really, but we just all know that it's Father's Day this weekend.

What do you reckon? Good call, Gwaii. Perfect timing. I don't know how long it takes to clear a novelty-sized check, but hopefully in time for Father's Day. All right, Dad, Brett, thank you so much. And Soundkeeper Annabelle, again, congratulations. Thanks to Save My Bacon, $50,000 richer.

We'll have all the clues. The breakdown of what the clues mean. The breakdown, we'll get that online as well, but congratulations. Thank you guys for having me this entire time. I've really enjoyed it. It's been amazing. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about a man called Bill Burr.

Heard of Bill Burr? He's not that guy, the comedy guy. Oh, okay. Is that Bill Burr? I was like, that name rings a bell, kind of. I don't think he's the comedian, who I believe's name is also Bill Burr. Okay.

This is a man who regrets what he did in 2003. Okay. He said, looking back on it now, 15 years later, I made a huge mistake. In 2003, Bill Burr was consulted as somebody in computer security at the time on writing a report for people, the average everyday computer user who would be open to threats of cybersecurity.

And he wrote a 47-page document about password rules. Bill Burr is the man who made us have to change our password every 90 days. God, they've just introduced something here. We've got to do ours every 60. Yeah, it's getting shorter. More than less. And I'm like, oh, I can't remember. So he started it with the recommendation of changing it regularly, but also maybe not using the same one as last time.

Okay. So he's come out and said I regret that. Now that's exaggerated to five now. You can't use your last five. Okay. And he feels he was the man that got it started. He said, I'm also the man who said you should use numbers in place of letters. Yeah.

Like an E instead of a three. Three instead of an E. Yeah. And numbers that can be exchanged. And obscure characters like punctuation, et cetera, three instead of an E. Yeah. And numbers that can be exchanged and obscure characters like punctuation, et cetera, in place of letters. So he said,

pretty much as soon as he printed this, it told hackers that the average person who may have had the password, password 1234, now had P at sign, dollar sign, dollar sign, W zero R D 1234. And he said it really kind of did nothing. So he regrets what he did. I had P, at sign, dollar sign, dollar sign, W, zero, R, D, one, two, three, four.

And he said it really kind of did nothing. So he regrets what he did. And he's probably just got an average job now and he has to change his password every 90 days. And he's like, damn me. It's actually his fault. What did I do? So today's fact of the day is the man in 2003, Bill Burr, who recommended we use numbers, obscure characters, capital letters,

and update our passwords regularly, regrets it. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yesterday, I took my two children to yoga. Children yoga. Kid yoga. Why? I don't know. Something fun to do.

Get them moving. Yeah, get them outside. Well, it was inside, but you go outside to get back into another inside, don't you? There's an outside period. Yeah, yeah. Between the car and the transition. Yeah. Yeah. House, car. That's an outside period. Yeah, yeah. Between the car and the transition. Yeah.

House, car. That's outside. Place where they did yoga. Oh yeah, they did yoga. And so Indy went last week. Yeah. Loved it. Right.

Like raved about it. Did the tree and the mouse. Oh yeah. Are they like really flexible till age? Yeah, kids are like super flexible. That's what I was thinking. Don't they get bored? Because like when we're holding poses, you're like, oh, like you have to concentrate and breathe. But for kids, it's just like, why are we standing here like this?

They kid it up. Right. They do like games and stuff to do with stretching out. And like they played musical mats, which is like musical chairs. Except when you're running around, when the music stops, a thing also gets shouted like cobra. And so they have to get on a mat and Do the cobra Is it weird Because obviously I'm not a parent

But like Aren't you? Is it weird when you're like Taking them to these things Do you ever think Well they're not going to remember this So why am I bothering them? Like you know what I mean?

Yeah They're old enough now They're old enough Yeah they're like four and six They've got memory now I don't remember four and six Don't you? I wouldn't remember going to kids yoga

Shit no I remember four and six No you don't The experiences and the way they were You. I don't remember four and six. I wouldn't remember going to kids yoga. Shit, no. I remember four and six. But also, even if they don't remember it, the experiences and the way they, you know, live their life affects them. The thing that made me go, huh, is that their kids are doing stuff now that adults didn't even do when I was a kid.

Yeah, right. Like yoga wasn't a really done thing by the general populace. When I was growing up, I went with mum to aerobics once. So did I. As a kid. Mum was like, well, I can't get anybody to look after you. Your father's busy,

so your kids are going to have to come to aerobics. You just sit at the back of your class while they do aerobics. Yeah, or we were allowed to join in. We weren't allowed to get in the way, but we were allowed to mimic their moves from the back of the room. But that would be the equivalent.

I guess so. Aerobics was like all the buzz back in the 90s. I've always wondered what we used to do when we went out for dinner. Because you know how kids are always on mum and dad's iPhones? What did we do? Just sit there. Just annoy them. I think I just sat in pure terror.

Of being smacked if I misbehaved. Right. But yeah, so kids are doing all these things now that adults do. Yeah, right. You didn't think to join in? No, because again, as we said before, they're super stretchy and I'm really not. Really not stretchy whatsoever.

Plus last summer yoga, I farted real loud and there's a room full of kids and like... It wasn't good. A fart is a surefire way to disrupt a peaceful environment if there's children involved. Heck, it's a way to disrupt a peaceful environment if I'm involved, full stop. I'll laugh at a fart. I know.

If it happens in public. It's funny until they smell it. Yeah. Your farts, I mean. Oh, no. Yeah. Agreed. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
