Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Awesome. Apologies for some technical difficulties there. I didn't notice a thing, Fletch. I don't know what you're talking about. No, I've always said the news bed in the background is quite a nice song. We should just play the whole thing, no talking over the top.

You can finally hear it to appreciate it. I know, it's nice, isn't it? It's a good tune. Lovely. Lovely. Could do with a Calvin Harris remix, but, you know, there's something to aim for for next year. All right, you lot, listen up.

It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines for three stories that I've found online. Interesting, quirky, unusual, odd stories. Vaughan and Megan, deliberate. Pick one of the following three. Headline one, Mum's tough roadie. Headline two, Mum's tough roadie. Headline two,

Coke full of sugar. And headline three, 4G hash brown. Coke full of sugar. I don't think I need to know that. No, I think that was a cocaine. Somebody thought it was a cocaine shipment, but it was actually sugar. Yep. Yep. Yep. Pretty close

there. Pretty close. Pretty close. Pretty close. Give it to me. I'd give that, yeah. Pretty close there. Pretty close. Pretty close. Pretty close. You'd give it to me? I'd give that to you. Yep, I would. Good. Mum's, what was the mum road trip one?

The first one? Mum's Tough Roadie. Okay. Or 4G Hash Brown. 4G Hash Brown. I kind of want to know what 4G Hash Brown means. Yeah, okay. Down for that?

I'd have either. Okay, because you know people love the hash browns. I'm a big fan of hash browns. I'm eh about hash browns. And aren't they like real spinnies these days? I'm not specifically talking about McDonald's hash browns though. I'm talking about any, you can get a bag to have at home and you chuck them in the toaster.

Yeah, right. But then your toaster gets a bit smelly and oily down the bottom. It's a controversial way to cook a hash brown, but it is delicious. Well, a man in California, he was pulled over by police in April. Now, this is ongoing. This is in April last year. It's ongoing because it's in front of the courts at the moment. Now, he was pulled over for using his cell phone.

Yeah. But he was saying, no, I was eating a hash brown. Oh. Hence the headline 4G hash brown. 4 a hash brown. Oh. Hence the headline 4G hash brown. 4G hash brown. So, I mean, you just pretended to eat your phone. Eat my cell phone. But there's a colour difference.

I mean, size similar though. Like if you got an old school original hash brown. Yeah. Similar size. Did he have a hash brown when they pulled him over or remnants of a hash brown? Because that would be enough for me to be like, oh, okay, my bad. Well, so he's told the court that he purchased a caramel frappe and one hash brown.

Frappe, I believe it's. Frappe. Frappe. Frappe. I'm just calling it frappe. No, because I call it a frappuccino. Yeah. Frappe.

Frappe. I don't speak. Is a frappe a frappuccino or is there something different? Yeah, it is a frappuccino, but you just say a frappe. Oh, okay. Frappe. I don't speak... Is a frappe a frappuccino or is there something different? Yeah, it is a frappuccino, but you just say a frappe. Oh, okay. Frappe. Is that French or Spanish? I don't know.

Or Italian? I don't know. It's a frappe. Anyway. It's the extra P in the E that makes it the frappe. Frappuccino is a portmanteau. Can you remember from English, Megan, what a portmanteau is? No.

No? A portmanteau is a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others. Oh, okay. For example, motel and brunch. Oh, yeah, okay. Right. What a great lesson this morning. Yes, isn't it?

A portmanteau. Well, anyway, he had the caramel frappuccino and hash brown before he was stopped three minutes later by police. Now, the policeman apparently said that he saw the man on his cell phone and he was like, well, no, because I was eating the hash brown. And he tried to explain the situation to the officer, but he immediately shut him down. He said, look, mate, I've been doing this for 30 years. I saw you on your cell phone.

You're getting a ticket for distracted driving. Okay. And so that's why he's in court and it's battling out at the moment because he's fighting this distracted driving charge, which I'm sure is just like $150 like we have. Yeah, but I wouldn't want to pay that if I didn't actually do it. Wouldn't that be a receipt? Couldn't he show he bought a hash brown?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he might have still had them in the car even. Yeah. And then what happens? It's your word against the police officers. Yeah. And you're not going to win that, are you? No. But I would think most police would be pretty reasonable if you can give a...

Because there was a time I got pulled over because the police thought I was on my cell phone. Yeah. And I wasn't, surprisingly. But I was playing with my swipe card from work, but all they saw was the white rectangle on my hands. Oh, yeah, right. And you're like, I don't have a white phone. I was playing with this. Yeah, I don't because my phone's not white.

They were like, hey, sweat ass. Yeah, done. Oh, bad. See ya. And I was like, okay. So if you had the remnants like one of those little paper bags that the hash brown comes in,

surely they could. Maybe, yeah, for sure. You must have been having a bad day. Or a greasy mouth. Look, officer, I've got a greasy mouth and stains on my shirt. So no word

if he's won this or not, but he has paid a lawyer $1,000, which is what he says his insurance has increased to due to the ticket. So that's another reason he's fighting it. But yeah,

$1,000, that's a lot of cash. But yeah, if there's an update, we'll let you know. Your mobile phone's making you fat along with everything else these days. Is it because you see all those recipes from the bird's eye view on Facebook and you're like, man, I'd love to make that

but I'm probably just going to eat some chips now because it's ignited my hunger. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. I need something to satisfy me. No, it's not anything you're looking at specifically on your phone. It's that when you are eating, people are on their phones these days so you're not paying attention to how much

you're eating. So people who looked at their mobile phones while eating consumed 15% more calories than those who are not distracted. So what you've got to be thinking about chewing? Well, you've got to be aware of how much you're actually eating because if you're not looking at it, you're just like, eat, eat, eat, eat, and then you might not feel full straight away. Is it the same, same though for watching TV?

Yeah. It is. So remember they always used to say don't watch TV. You've got to like be aware of chewing and like eating and feeling full. You've got to be aware of what you're doing. Otherwise you're just like nom, nom, nom. Yeah. Same thing.

So now people are doing it with their mobile phone. Looking at their phone and eating. You said they ate 15% more calories, but that food had to be in front of them to start with. Yeah. So you don't put it in front of you. So the test they did is they had a bunch of people and they must have just given them food to eat, like a range of food in front of them.

And everyone who was distracted while on their phone ate 15% more, all of them. And everyone who was distracted while on their phone ate 15% more, all of them. Right, they had like a sort of a shared Indian curry situation in front of them, multiple curries, and they just kept spurning more delicious Rogan Josh onto their plate. So it must be any kind of distraction because it included magazines and TVs,

so you need to pay attention. What about your family talking to you or your flatmates? I know, that's what I was thinking. If you're having a conversation, don't talk to me. I need to concentrate on what's going on. What kind of miserable dinner are you describing, though? Sitting by yourself in a dark room because you don't want to get distracted by anything you can see, fidgeting around and slopping food in your gob.

And you've got to put it on a small plate and do a smaller serving and then you still feel hungry afterwards. And yeah. That sounds miserable. It does. This is my mum's, my mum's big thing is you've got to be sitting when you eat.

You don't stand to eat. Who stands to eat? Unless you're at like a party. If you're in a hurry and you're like, I'm just kidding. And you come in and you're just like eating

while you're standing in the kitchen. She's like, would you sit down? And then she's convinced it's because your mind thinks it's doing something else, so it's not concentrating on eating, so you're going to be hungry again soon. My mum, as long as I've known her, has been on one diet or another, so this was probably something in the 80s that somebody

said once. The sit-down diet. But you burn more calories standing, so it'd be like I'm burning more as I'm eating this. Yeah, but then you probably gotta weigh up how many extra calories you're gonna eat because you just forgot you ate because you were standing. FBM. 660 Western Springs on Saturday night. The largest

crowd ever for a headlining Kiwi act. That's mind-blowing, isn't it? 50,000. 50,000, yeah. That's mind-blowing, isn't it? 50,000. 50,000, yeah. During the show, if you didn't see already or haven't heard, they said save the date, Feb 22nd, 2020. They're doing it again.

What's the capacity there? Can there be more than 50,000? Or is that maxed out? That's maxed out, isn't it? That's maxed. This gig had sold out, so if they could have squeezed any more in, they would have. Right.

Also, on the night, they presented a plaque. A plaque. What's a plaque? No, plaques on the teeth. Plaques on the teeth. Plaque. A plaque. No, it is a plaque.

No, it's a plaque, isn't it? Plaque on your teeth and plaque. A placard. Ta-ta? Is it a Tata builder? And ginger biters. They represented a Tata builder. A certificate.

A framed thing. And for one million singles sold and 250,000 albums. That's insane. It's amazing. It's bananas. And of course, those 50,000 people all had to get to Western Springs and get back from Western Springs. So there were the free buses or the buses that you could get into the city.

Yeah, before we talk about this, those buses were free. With the ticket, is that how it worked? With the ticket, yeah. That's how it works. That is it, Auckland Transport does do that for big events, that's pretty cool I reckon to reduce congestion. That is cool. Well, a woman anyway was on the bus to 660

and she needed to go, she was busting. So as you do, you just pop a squat in the back door well. Oh, you do not. And you just let rip. Wait, this was on the way to success. So there's a video that has been released that was on the news.

They've blurred her face. They put it on the news. They put, yep, yep. Oh, they put it on the news. No, but the thing is she's talking. So even if you can't see her face, you'd be like, I recognise that voice. And you can see her dress as well. No, but the thing is, she's talking. So, like, even if you can't see her face, you'd be like, I recognise that voice.

And you can see her dress as well. So, you totally know who it was, if it was your friend. I haven't seen the video, but what are we talking age-wise? Oh, 20s. Oh, 20s. Yeah, definitely 20s. Oh, 20s, I was going to say. Because it did have a bit of a drunk mum feel to it.

Nah, it looks, yeah, it looks student. Okay, right, yeah. Well, she was described as squatting in the door well in full view of not only the bus passengers, but also pedestrians outside the bus. Full view. Oh, good. They could see her bum.

Afterwards, this is what it describes, and I'm sorry for anybody eating. I know it's early. Afterwards, she stands in the pool of urine, attempts to pull her pants up, exposing herself to the audible consternation of onlookers and her friends. I had to, she exclaims.

Sorry, everyone. She did say sorry. According to one witness, the smell stunk out the bus, and passengers were forced to walk through a stream of urine as they disembarked. I would take the front door. I know they were all about the back door unloading,

but if she went back there, I'm not. Yeah. Auckland Transport obviously condemned a woman's behaviour as not acceptable. Yeah. Yeah, because the video starts with her squatting and I'm like, she's just going to quietly pull her pants up. But she just stands up and then pulls her pants up

and shows everyone everything. Somebody's just messaged in saying they've seen the uncensored version of that video. Okay. The squatter's video, I'll read this verbatim. Okay. The squatter's video is clear on Facebook to the point you can see her face

and her downstairs manicuring. I don't think it's called manicuring. on Facebook? I don't know. Oh, no. Yeah, wow. I don't know.

Also, isn't manicuring specifically the hands, Megan? Yeah. I think they mean downstairs Just grooming. Unless that's a new fad that I'm unaware of. It's the painting of the, well, getting nails put on.

Is that so? I mean, that's terrifying. The very thought of that is absolutely terrifying. You may have seen over the weekend, Muffin Break was popping up in the news. Not for huge muffins with big chunks of cream cheese in them either. Oh, they love, you know who loves those? Baby Boomers love a Muffin Break.

Baby Boomers love a huge muffin. Should we just get a little muffin for Muffin Break? Just a coffee or a muffin? Should we just get a little cappuccino on a muffin? They do get a cappuccino. And then they eat it and they're like, oh, I won't need lunch. Or I'll save the other half for your father. I don't need the whole thing.

Of course you won't need lunch. You just ate a muffin the size of two fists. Good God, Auntie Eve. No, that cappuccino was like a gallon of cappuccino as well with half a kilogram of cinnamon sprinkled on top. But Muffin Break is in the news because the general manager, a lady called Natalie, is upset that young people won't work for free anymore. I read this article.

Bloody millennials. So she's saying that they're kind of lacking a bit of initiative to come in and ask for jobs and approach that. Well, no, they're asking for jobs. She certainly doesn't say there's any shortage of them asking for jobs, but they just want to be paid to do them. And she said that's just entitled. Oh, my God.

Because back in even when we started in radio and stuff, you'd work for free for ages to prove yourself. Working in radio for free was fun. Not working at Muffin Break. Like, if you work at Muffin Break, that's great. But I don't think anyone would ever say working at Muffin Break's a riot. Like, I'm having a great time. Like, I'm getting free Ed Sheeran tickets. Yeah.

And, you know, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, my favourite part of working at Muffin Break's when a lady comes back and says, I've microwaved her quiche for too long. It's a pretty rock and roll industry, the mall-based baby boomer snack industry. It's going hard. So she said people used to come and say,

oh, I'll work for nothing to prove my worth. But this was maybe 15, 20 years ago, but the world has changed. Rent costs a million dollars now. And people with degrees in marketing or who have got a qualification in marketing, that costs a lot of money to get now. It's not like back in the 70s when university was free, so you could come out and literally just live at home and work somewhere for free

until you'd proven your worth. So she's wearing it online too. I was about to say, what's the feedback like? Well, it's divided because she's wearing it from people who have been there and have bills to pay and had to pay rent and a student loan and who like to eat things that aren't muffins when they're working a muffin break. But, you know, then there's the classic older generation who are like, no, she's dead right. These millennials are the worst thing ever.

Riding around on their Lime scooters, listening to their crime podcasts. No one wants to work for nothing for me so I can make more money anymore. Yeah. What's the world coming to? I know. I know. I know.

She said that also people don't have to be working somewhere for long until they're asking for a pay rise. If you don't ask, you're not going to get right. Yeah, yeah. It's like I've got an email reminder set up. I email Ross every month, pay rise, and that's all it says with a question mark. How's that going for you? Well it's not going great but he keeps

giving me muffin break vouchers and saying I should just be grateful for a job. Which is hard but yeah so maybe avoid muffin break if you want to get paid at a uni. From the ZM Think Tank this is the top

six. Yes it's great news for people who like sneakers and flat circles of polished wood. I mean, you can tell my knowledge of breakdancing is up there. It certainly is. Breakdancing in the Olympics? Well, the Paris 2024 will now say, which is my favorite headline that I found about breakdancing being in the Olympics. I was at the Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires last year.

Okay. And apparently was a real crowd pleaser. And, I mean, breakdancing is pretty amazing to watch. It is, so why not have it? Yeah, exactly. Because it's more interesting to watch in Badminton. I wonder if it would almost fall under, that's also very insulting to the world that loves Badminton.

You added a G. But even tennis. I'd rather watch breakdancing than a lot of sports at the Olympics. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know if it'll fall into like the gymnastics area. I'm sure it will, right? Because they've got kind of the floor for it and stuff. I assume it's a similar flooring.

I'm very focused on flooring here. Top six is in no way brought to you by Flooring Extra. Although they do do a great laminate. So the 2024 Olympics in Paris are going to have breakdancing. And they said they're very keen for it to happen. Karate is being added to the Olympics in Tokyo next year. But apparently it won't be at the 2024 Olympics. So I don't know if the hosts get to pick something that gets put in.

But there are rooms. Apparently rock climbing could be another Olympic sport added to the, to the lineup. I don't know if that will just be like the quickest man or woman up this cliff face. I don't know if it's a speed thing.

I wouldn't imagine that's great to watch. Oh, I don't know, because you know, there's that Tom Cruise, the start of Mission Impossible where Tom Cruise is rock climbing and it looked pretty cool. Yeah, but then that's because

he could fall to his death. You know what I mean? Yeah, he's just like at extreme edge, eh? Yeah. With a carabiner on and he's gone up. So this is the top six

cool dude, gnarly rad sports for the Olympics. Bras and brasettes. Number six, kneeboarding. It was a bit of a classic in the 90s. If someone's dad had a boat, they always had a kneeboard.

It was for people who weren't ready for wakeboarding but thought biscuiting was lame man so kneeboarding go up the wake

go down the wake do a little jump right and then what they judge you on your jump yeah I guess actually very good call

I don't know the criteria of what made a good kneeboard number 5 on the list of the cool dude gnar early rad sports for the Olympics. Frisbee. Well, I believe you would call it flying disc as frisbee is actually a copyrighted brand of flying disc. Right.

Okay. So flying disc. Like ultimate frisbee? Ultimate frisbee. Ultimate frisbee. Like frisbee golf or maybe like sweet catches, jumps, flips and chucks. Yeah. okay. It's all in the wrist and it would make a great Olympic sport.

Number four on the list, rollerblading. Okay. But I'm thinking rollerblading. Not like rollerblading around a circuit real quick. I'm thinking rollerblading, like freestyle rollerblading. Right. Like sweet jumps, awesome grinds, gnarly flips. So not just going out along Oriental Parade or Mission Bay.

No, no, no. Well, you could, but there'd be a whole bunch of things to jump and go over and through and stuff on the way. I'm basically thinking of 1980s rollerblading part of California games. Okay. An old computer game. Number three on the list of the cool dude and the only rad sports for the Olympics, Pokemon cards.

Oh, okay. Imagine that. You're in the gold medal match and someone whips out a Charizard with a flamethrower against a plant-type Pokemon. It's an elimination that they shouldn't have, you know, it's a real whitewash for a gold medal game. I saw people playing Pokemon Go yesterday in the city. Lots of them.

Loads. Oh, yeah, but Pokemon Go. Still going. Yeah, that's still going, but that's different to the Pokemon cards. Yeah, right. I'm sorry. Loads. Oh, yeah, but Pokemon Go. Still going. Yeah, that's still going, but that's different to the Pokemon cards. Yeah, right. I'm sorry. Pokemon cards is a more skilled game

involving, you know, strategy, et cetera. Right. Okay. Number two on the list of the cool dude, gnarly sports for the Olympics, Fortnite. I'm honestly surprised that in 2024 they haven't got an eGames part of the Olympics.

I thought they would have by 2024. No. It's still five years away. It's not a sport. Megan, Megan. It's not a sport. You've upset people before with this. You're sitting on your bum.

It's not a sport. You sit on your bum on a kayak as well. But at least your arms are moving. Well, yeah, fingers are moving and your brain's got to be very agile for a bit of eSports. Okay. It's a sport. It's just got an E in front. And the number one cool dude and highly rated sport for the Olympics, bra and braettes, is hacky sack.

It's the return of hacky sack. Is it? What a game of skill. A game of skill and a game of just being able to smoke just the right amount of weed to be able to do it but not start freaking out about it and lose all your coordination. It's like playing pool. There's a sweet spot with playing pool with just a couple of drinks and then you get really good

and then you quickly fall out of that Goldilocks zone. So that is today's top six. There is a woman from London who's gone viral with a tweet and I feel her pain. So she was out in London. It was a big night, obviously. And she got out of a taxi

and that's when she got a little bit stuck. Both her heels got wedged into a drain grate. Not those big stormwater drain grates. No. But those ones, you know, they could be in the middle of driveways. Real classic. You see them everywhere. They those ones, you know, they could be in the middle of driveways. Real

classic. You see them everywhere. They're only like, what, 15 centimetres wide, those ones that just kind of go over the trains. So she's wearing little booties, booty heels, I describe them as. What's a booty heel, Megan? Because I know a kitten heel.

Oh, so it's just a booty as in like, it looks like a boot that goes To the ankle and then it's got a heel Like a stiletto heel So it's a thinner, it's a thin heel It's a thin heel And she's gotten both of her feet Stuck in the drain grate

So sometimes It's really hard because you're putting pressure down To get it in but it's really hard To just pull them out. So she went home with the grate. She took her shoes off and she took the whole drain with her

home. Because she couldn't get them out. She couldn't get them out. And when she woke up in the morning she saw it in the doorway that she had two pairs of shoes stuck in a drain grate. I guess you could hammer them out, couldn't you? Yeah. Oh, God, it's so painful, though,

because it's just like skinned the leather off the heels, though. You guys don't get it, but as soon as it went in there, it's just peeled the leather back from the heel. And even when you pull it out, it's going to do it again. What can you do at that stage? Well, I would try and cut. I'd get someone to saw the grate. So you'd rather saw the grate than possibly risk any more skin removal of the leather off the heel.

Yeah, exactly. It's like a guttering. It is a thick metal. People might be thinking of a stormwater grate, but it's more like what covers guttering, like ground guttering. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's how she could pick it up and take it with.

Because have you ever actually tried to lift a storm grate? Oh, no. Those things are insanely heavy. Yeah. I rescued it. I don't want to go on about my heroicism, but I did rescue a duck, a duckling when it fell down one once. Oh, because I tried to lift one open, but the tar seal had kind of sealed it shut because

there was $5 down there. I saw $5. Oh, right. But I couldn't open it. So I was like, God damn it. It wasn't even your $5. You're just like, I can see money out there. No, shut because there was $5 down there. I saw $5. But I couldn't open it so I was like God damn it! It wasn't even your $5 you were just like I can see money out there. I was like I could get that but I couldn't open the grate. And then you look down in there for the

$5 and Pennywise the clown was like come in Fletch we'll float down here. And you're like no just pass me the $5 Pennywise. He's like I'm not passing you gotta come in. And that was the failed sequel to It, when French wouldn't go down the grade. They are actually making a sequel to that,

so it'll be interesting to see if they do use the $5 train. Yeah, but I only, like, a couple of weeks ago, when we had our party at our house, walked out on our deck, and the deck, when you wear stilettos on the deck, you've got to be careful of the little gaps. I fell down the gap in the deck, and had to take my shoe off and carefully pull it out in front of everyone who thought that was hilarious.

It's so weird, like, just thinking you got dressed up for a party at your own house. Yeah, but I had people over. It wasn't like I could wear my gym jams. Yeah, but no, I always, I never, because when the party we had at the weekend show, I got dressed up. I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah, but everyone else coming to your house would get dressed up. So you don't want to be like the...

Oh, no, but it's your house. I'd just be like, as long as you're comfortable. Is that why you're wearing a white T-shirt and jorts? Yeah. He didn't even want to get dressed up for your mates. He's comfortable in his own house. Let's be comfy in my own house. Could we take some calls?

Because this obviously, this must happen a lot, right? Oh, occupational hazard for me. The heels are tiny, right? They must get stuck in all kinds of things. Yeah. You have to be careful. Anytime I see any kind of gap in the walkway, I have to walk on tippy toes until I've passed the hazard.

Otherwise, you're getting stuck. All right, well, can we take some calls? 0800-DARZATM9696. When have you been stuck in your heels? Because I don't know how you did it on your wedding, even just walking on grass. Oh, yeah, but I had metal heels, so if I got stuck anywhere,

I could pull them out without any damage. Thought about it. But you walked through a lot of trees at your wedding too. Like the roots, intertwined roots, would pose a massive risk of heel trappage. I'm a professional though. I'm a trained professional. Imagine if you got stuck on your wedding. You're walking professional though. I'm a trained professional. Oh, imagine if you got stuck

on your wedding. You're walking down the... Oh, it's bound to have happened. ...the aisle and your heel gets stuck. It's like being stuck on your wedding day. Alright, well,

give us a call. 0800-DARLS.M You can text 9696. When have you been stuck in heels? Talking about when you've got your heels stuck because a woman in London, she went out for a night

and her stilettos got stuck in a drain and she ended up- In the grating. In the grate and she ended up taking the grate home because she couldn't get her heels out. Somebody text messaged in saying, I literally expressed out loud distress

at the heels in the grate. I'd just like to imagine somebody going, oh no! Oh no! And the picture brings me like... Oh, don't look at the picture if you express distress out loud at our description.

We'll add nothing. They're ruined, aren't they? They're peeled. Because the leather scrapes off. They're peeled. Yeah. Nicola, where did you get your heels stuck?

I got my heels stuck in an earthquake foundation crack at my old office. Oh no. Oh no. Jeez. So, we were Oh, no. Jeez. So we were post-earthquake, and they just kind of kept taping over the crack because the carpet had kind of worn through, and they just kept taping over, but the tape kept wearing

through as well. And one day, I was just walking over and just, yeah, hit over the heel. Should you be taping up and carpeting over a large crack like that in the foundation? Well, you know, actually it was fine. Right. The jury's out on whether or not that was an actual Sarah-endorsed repair of that building's foundation. Probably not.

Wow. At least whack some space saver in there. Yeah, at least fill it up. Yeah. So were the heels ruined? No, luckily it was all right. It just kind of went in by about a centimetre and I just kind of very ungracefully went straight head over heels.

Did a few times. Yeah, I didn't even think about whether you were okay. I was just worried about the heels. Oh, yeah, no, I was fine. You were fine. That's good. Okay, thanks, Nicola. Some text messages.

Somebody said I was in London walking in Covent Garden, which I've heard of. Sounds very flash, right? I don't know. Sure. Cobblestones everywhere and cobbles and heels don't mix.

No, they don't. What else doesn't mix with cobblestones? Fletch, lime scooters, and diarrhea. And a wobbly bum. Yeah.

And Camp Labacta. Never forget to say I had Camp Labacta. Yeah, to say I had Camp Labacta. Yeah, that's the wobbly bum part. Yeah. Ended with me in a heap

on the cobbles on the ground with grey knees and people just looking at me and doing that annoying British tutting. Europe's the worst for that. Cobblestones everywhere

but the women all wear heels. I don't know how they do it. Just training from a young age, Megan. Because what is it they like? The look of the cobblestones. I don't know. They should cover. Just training from a young age, Megan. Yeah. Because what is it they like? The look of the cobblestones. I don't know. They should cover it with a flat

resin so you can see through. See the cobblestones. Yeah. Appreciate the cobblestones without the bad aspects of the cobblestones. I can't imagine any problems when it rains or snows, Vaughn, but sure. I mean, I'm yet to see a problem. Somebody said, I was a bridesmaid at a wedding and I was walking

on grass and the heel went straight in. And I had to dismount the shoe and retrieve it manually. I just hope this wasn't on the walk up the aisle. Oh, no. But then if the bride and groom had picked a grass aisle and also the shoes, they can't be angry at you for disrupting the flow of the bridal party. No. Because you're just dealing with the conditions that they chose.

They put down some of that plastic matting at a concert. You know Because you're just dealing with the conditions that they chose. Yeah. They put down some of that plastic matting at a concert. You know when you go to a concert at a sports field? Yeah, that's a class. That's a way to class up your wedding, actually. Like when you go to a concert at Mount Smart and it's got that down so it doesn't ruin it for the warriors. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Somebody else said, I was walking on what I believed to be a hard surface in heels, but all of a sudden it became very sponge-like, and both of my heels sunk in, letting me to fall over, and then spend a lot of time trying to pull them out. Because if you're wearing a long dress, and you put your knee on the dress onto the soggy, oh no, you're getting a stain.

You're identifying hazards here. Fletches, yeah. It's real punishing. I'm just beginning to think it's not all really easy being a woman. With these things to worry about. Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. The Oscars are on today and our woman on the ground in LA is Hilary Barry.

Good morning. Good morning, guys. Oh, we've spent all this money to get you over there. Yeah. Exclusive. Hope you like the hotel. I tell you what, it is lovely. Thank you so much.

That's around the corner from the Dolby Theater. I am very happy. Have you spotted any celebrities in the wild yet? Look, I am very disappointed to say as yet I have not. However, we have a really great spot on the red carpet, so I'm going to be absolutely crawling over them this afternoon. I saw you at the red carpet yesterday and it had a big cover on it. I was like, are you allowed to walk on that before the big day?

Yeah. Do you know what? I thought it was amazing that they weren't stopping people from walking down it. But they were quite happy. And not all of it was covered up by plastic. So I actually stood on the real thing too. I don't think it was New Zealand wood. Well, it looked synthetic to me and I was shocked.

Oh, no. Maybe that's how we could get in there with some pure New Zealand wool. Yeah. It would look nicer. It would. Are there any celebrities you're like, I mean, you're obviously a broadcasting professional, Hilbaz,

but is there anyone you'd kind of lose your shit over? Yep. So I am supposed to be a professional, but I suspect there will be some unprofessional moments, which we won't later broadcast. I'll just wipe them. Oh no, those would be the best bits. I'll probably lose my shiz over George Clooney.

I am married to a George Clooney, but this one's a bit flasher than my one. So I'll just let that. And also, you know, Hollywood royalty, I can't wait to see Meryl Streep and Glenn Close and people like that. Yeah, they're amazing. So speaking of Glenn Close,

who's your pick for best actress? The big... Yeah, I honestly do. So, speaking of Glenn Close, who's your pick for Best Actress? The big... Yeah, I honestly do think she'll win it. She is, you may not know this, she is the most nominated person to never win an Oscar. So this is her seventh nomination. So it would be absolutely fantastic

if she would win. It was a great performance and the wife loved it. What about, have you heard about the goodie bags? Because we've heard there's some marijuana products this year. I know. Well, we are in California, tell you what.

Just from the limited amount of walking around I've done, you can smell the wacky backy on every corner. But yeah, I mean, there are so many, as you say, so many products. There's a free invitation to some wonderful social club where they smoke it. Facial products with cannabis in them and a number of other stuff too. But these goodie bags are like $150,000 US. Wow. Included is a luxury cruise to either Iceland or the Galapagos Islands.

You take your pick. So there's no chance of you getting your hands on one of those? There is no chance whatsoever. With these goodie bags, how many of them go unredeemed? I always imagine, like, if everyone who got a goodie bag decided to book the cruise on the same week. Yeah, it's a really interesting question. A number of stars do turn them down because they think it's a bit gauche.

Glenn Close is donating hers to a women's charity. One of Hollywood Boulevard's characters is coming past. He's just singing to himself. You'll probably hear it. He's having a great time. I'm loving it. Do you know what? He's got the wacky back in his hand,

and he's got his earbuds in, and he is just jamming to something really sick beat. Sick beat. I love it. It always amazes me when they have these awards, because that Hollywood area is quite gross, eh? Yeah. When it's not all flashed up.

I want to get out and polish up some of these stars. I'm standing on Hollywood Boulevard right now. Hi, everybody. I'm drawing attention to myself with a camera and light. And you look at these stars and they're so crappy and I just want to get down and polish them. Yeah. I might do that a bit later.

Have you heard all the buzz between Gaga and Bradley Cooper? Apparently, like, people think, because Gaga's needed her engagement, they think that there might be something going on there. Well, I've got to say, if you saw them on Graham Norton's couch, there was chemistry. I know, right?

And a lot of people are saying, is she going to turn up with him as her date? But he is attached. He has someone, so that would be quite the scandal, I think, if they turned up together. Will you keep an eye on it, please, today? Just give us the inside word. I will text you

with all the golf. And good luck meeting George Clooney, too. Thank you. I'm going to make it happen if I have to crawl across that red carpet. Thank you, Hilbaz. I'll do that. Okay, bye. Lime scooters. Lime scooters.

The lime scooter craze. And he was just going too fast, so I jumped out the way. Another day, another lime scooter story. Yes, that's right. And this lime scooter story, another day, comes to us from Wellington where a man, Patrick Payne, was given a ticket by police while riding an e-scooter and for failing to give way. So $150 fine.

He was pulled over by police. Yes, Megan, don't give me that look. Yes, Vaughn, you've done this too. Yeah, but let's not put me in the league. This guy's a criminal. He's got a ticket. Well, anyway, he's going to court challenging the fine. He's unrepentant.

He's like, look, this isn't covered by the road laws. Is he right? Well, he technically could be because it's an e-scooter. It's not classed as a vehicle. As a motorised vehicle. You can ride on the footpath. You don't need a licence to drive them. Yeah, not technically. That's the same as a bikeised vehicle. You can ride on the footpath. You don't need a licence to drive them.

Yeah, not technically. That's the same as a bike, though. But you still have to obey the giveaway rules. You don't need a licence to ride a bike, but there's still road rules. Yeah, Megan's got you there. Megan's got you there, Vaughan. Well, actually, you do. My dad made us bike licences when we were kids when we could ride without trainer wheels. He's saying an electric scooter is not a motor vehicle under New Zealand regulations.

There's no actual law concerning their use on the road. The whole thing is a grey area. Right. And he's saying... When you are on a bike and you get pinged for doing something, what do they give you the ticket for? You know how like... Well, if you ran a red light, it'd be for running a red light.

Endangerment. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, right. And so he is now prepared to go to court over the matter. Just over $150. The principle of the thing. I always wonder how much I'd be willing to pay for my principles. And I just think $150.

Oh, I'd whinge. I'd whinge. But I wouldn't pay money. Yeah. Yeah. Is he representing himself, though? Like, what's on the line? I'm guessing he is.

A police spokeswoman, though, has said that e-scooters were classified as vehicles and were subject to the same rules as other low-powered vehicles, such as e-bikes. Yeah, I'd kick up such a fuss. And then they're like, well, you're going to court. I'd be like, okay, I'll just pay it. Yeah. And I wonder, and I wonder, are you going to hear from my they're like, well, you're going to court. I'd be like, okay, I'll just pay it. Yeah. I don't want it, I don't want it. Are you going to hear from my lawyer? Okay, we're going to go to court.

How much was it again? But then over the weekend, so I mean, in Lower Hutt, Wellington Lime Scooters are still, or Lower Hutt anyway, Lime Scooters are still around, but Dunedin and Auckland, they were taken off the streets, and they are no more until Lime can prove that they have fixed the glitch that locks the front wheel of Lime scooters. Now, I haven't opened the Lime app in Auckland, but apparently when you do, it tells you why

it's disabled, the fleet is disabled, but it also gives you a link to email councillors, Auckland City councillors, to say bring back Lime. I support Lime. And one Auckland councillor, a friend of the show, Richard Hills, actually took to Twitter to say that he has had 1,600 emails from the app so far. Oh, my God. So I've just opened the app and it says support Lime in Auckland,

5,179 emails sent. Wow. But as Richard said, he can't reply to these people as it all just comes from the internal Lyme email address. Right. Because he would reply and say, we haven't suspended this for no reason, this is a defect. We're not in opposition to Lyme, happy for it to continue

when the wheel locking and the injury causing has been solved. And so there's certainly no way to get counsellors on side. I kind of think it's a dick move because it's on line to fix their scooters. You think it's a dick move from line? From line. Like, you know I use them every day. But I'm actually of the opinion that I don't want to be going along because you can get up to 30k's. I don't want a front wheel to lock on me.

You hoof it. You hoof it. I hoof it. And you use it every day. And we've had friends that we know people that have come off. Yeah. Like, it is dangerous. Fix your scooters and then we can get them back on. Yeah.

The road. And that's coming from some passionate Lime Riders. Yeah, you know I'm a passionate. You know the CEO, Bogsy, he's dropped off his scooter. He bought one. That's our CEO, not Lime's CEO. Yeah, that's our CEO. And I'm going to try it. And if I like it, he's dropped off his scooter. He bought one. That's the CEO. That's our CEO, not mine. Yeah, that's our CEO. And I'm going to try it.

And if I like it, maybe I'll just buy one. Because I had to walk to work this morning. It was horrible. Horrible. Poor darling. Walked. It took so long. I was like, am I there yet?

I would have been there on a Lime scooter. How long have you got that on loan for? Well, apparently, Caitlin said he's going away. Because I wasn't. We were on air when he dropped it off. Don't crash it. What did he say, Caitlin? You've got it until Friday, Fletch. I can actually take it home.

You've got the CEO's e-scooter until Friday. Do you know those are worth like $600? Sell it and say someone stole it. Can I have his car for the week? What about his house? I'll have his house. That's a good one as well. Yes.

Yeah, okay. What else has he got? I was just trying to think of other things, but it kind of, you can't really, it goes a bit creepy after that. Yeah, it does. Yeah, house. Well, there's the holiday house.

Has he got any cute sons? There's a holiday house. Megan. He does, actually. Does he? Yeah. I don't have any need for those, do I? No. No. Heavens. Heck no. You're married. Yeah.

For sure. Anyway, that was creepy enough. Guys, are you trying to get the e-scooter to take it off me? What are you doing? You just be bloody careful on that, please. I know. I know. Imagine if someone stole it or something. That's what I'm saying. Say you got stolen. Somebody know, because imagine if someone stole it or something. That's what I'm saying. Say it got stolen. As well.

Sell it. Somebody said, someone just messaged and said their mum got a $2,000 fine last week for knocking someone over when she was on her mobility scooter.

What? Jesus. Do you reckon it was one of those things where she like hit them, panicked, and like freaked out and accelerated

and they got like stuck under and then she was bellied out on top of them. And she's rocking back and forth trying to get off. Probably. But they're like a human judder bar and they're like, help, help. She's like, I'm trying. I'm bloody trying. You know, this morning, guys, I had a run in. I had a run in with the Lord pre-work.

Okay. Now, I'm driving to work, and I was quite peckish this morning. I don't know why I was more peckish this morning than other mornings. Usually, I eat breakfast at work. Okay. But on this morning, I did the classic school thing of eating my lunch at play lunch. Because I was hungry. And I was eating.

Granted, it was the last stretch towards work. So I was off the motorway I was on and in a city street, there's a few traffic lights down. I'm talking Nelson Street for those familiar with Auckland CBD. But otherwise, just imagine a straight street with traffic lights every 200 metres. Okay. So you're eating your breakfast in the car. There's four sets of traffic lights in 200 metres. Okay. So you're eating your breakfast in the car? There's four sets of traffic lights in an 800 metre gap. It's ridiculous.

It's too many. I mean, get the council on the phone. Hey, how can we streamline this? Get rid of the bike lane. That's not my thoughts, but people love saying that. So I was eating while stopped at the traffic lights and then while advancing through to the next traffic lights, I was staring with my knees.

Okay. And then while advancing through to the next traffic lights, I was staring with my knees. Okay. And I was eating. Yeah, because I mix, at the start of the week, I make five cold Bershom muesli mixes and freeze them and then take them out of the freezer the afternoon before I need them. Right. It's an easy way to not end up eating a huge salmon bagel from across the road every day for breakfast and putting on untold kgs from that bready bread.

And so I was eating out of the container, driving with my knees, and I look just out of the right-hand side. I just catch a glimmer of white. And I look, and the glimmer of white is indeed a police vehicle. Brilliant. And I think, oh, just don't make a big deal out of it. Just keep acting natural. So I kept eating whilst driving with my knees. And then I look again and the police officer is ushering for me to wind down my window.

Oh, my God. The universal sign of, you know, even though everyone's got like electric windows, you do the wind down motion. So I push the button and the window goes down and I'm like, hi, and he says, morning. I don't know what's more disappointing.

So I'm like, here's a list. This sounds like a sit down with mum. I don't know what's more disappointing. The fact that you sit down with mum. I don't know. What's more disappointing? The fact that you're driving and eating and don't have a single hand on the steering wheel or the fact that you should be on the radio right now. And he turned up the radio and there was one of our highlights packages. Because if you're never up that early between five and six, it's a repeat of stuff we've done on a previous day.

And I was like, ha ha, that's a highlights. That's a repeat of stuff we've done on a previous day. Yeah. And I was like, ha-ha, that's a highlights. That's a highlights package. So you should definitely be more disappointed in the fact I'm eating and driving. Which I don't know why I said that. I should have just been like, both are disappointing, and I'm sorry to have disappointed you, Officer of the Law. But I said, that's a highlights package. That happens every day, so you should be more disappointed that I'm driving and eating

and he laughed which I was like fuel no ticket and you should have said if you do that boop I will stop eating

I will stop eating but you got to do the boop anyway the other day in Christchurch I know you're already done been spoiled I shouldn't be allowed

to do two boop boop in the same week and then he sat there for a bit and I said he laughed. And then I was like, okay, we're good. And he said, you still haven't put your food down. I said, oh, okay, I'll just put it down.

I put it down very slowly, but no ticket. But they've got my number, I reckon. Yeah. Brilliant. Yeah, so. Thanks for listening, though. I will say to the officer of the New Zealand Police Force, thanks so much for listening to the show.

But God, no, we already start early enough. We're not actually at work that early talking. No. No, that's madness. The rest of us do have respect for the law. It's just born. No, I've got respect. I've got respect for the law.

I put down the food when he asked me to. But did you eat it when he turned away and drove off? Oh, yeah, because I got to another red light. So I figured it was just while in transit he had the problem. Yeah. Mosh Monday. It's Monday, so it's Mosh Monday time. So we have Kimberly on the phone this morning.

Good morning, Kimberly. Good morning. How are you? Very good. So you've got an emotional experience from back in the day, and that triggers a certain song in your mind. Do you want to tell us the emotional memory? Of course.

So I was definitely thinker in the emo days, and my best friend and I were green-sleshed thing-ness at the top of our lungs. It was such an emotional song for us. Bear in mind, though, that I wore only black. I had the whole aesthetic with, like, safety pins down my black ripped jeans. And I decided to dye my hair blonde but I had horrible black regrowth getting a blonde

hair and then chunks of pink to kind of fit the aesthetic of you know the emo look. Oh emo because I was predicting goth there when you started talking about it. It felt very goth but then I was going to ask some further questions to establish if it was emo or goth but you've gone with emo. It was definitely emo I could found it very goth, but then I was going to ask some further questions to establish if it was emo or goth,

but you've gone with emo. It was definitely emo. I could not pull off goth. Apparently, I was too normal and I got teased for that. Wait, so other emos teased you for being too normal to be an emo? Yeah.

You can't win. I know. I know. I know. And to top that off, I wore so much eyeliner that I would cry like tears. When you blew your nose, did you have eyeliner come out?

Because sometimes that happens to me. It comes out in my boogers. I can't remember, but I would say that probably would happen. Yeah. Yeah. It was horrible. I always wondered what happened when did you stop being an emo?

And now kind of what's your aesthetic? What do you look like now? Oh, gosh. Have you just got real normal, one colour hair and it's kind of similar to natural? No, I've got bright red hair and I usually do like a vintage kind of 50s look. So you're right, you've gone for that. Yeah.

Okay, so this Mosh Monday song reminds you of that time of your life. Yeah, definitely. Teased by emos for not being emo enough. That's ridiculous. Do you want to introduce your song for Mosh Monday, Kimberly? Definitely.

Okay, go for it. Okay, so this is Mosh Monday, and my song is I'm Not Okay by My Chem. Ava calls it My Chem. Yeah, My Chem. You had the look. Had the lingo. To match. All right, it's Mosh Monday, my chem. You had the look. Had the lingo. To match.

All right, it's all you had to say I never want to let you down or have you go It's better out this way for all the dirty looks The photographs your boyfriend took You said you'd read me like a book But the pages don't look quite as free now I'm okay I'm okay I'm okay

I'm okay now I'm okay now But you really need to listen to me Because I'm telling you the truth I mean this I'm okay Trust me I'm okay I'm not okay

I'm not okay I'm not okay I'm really not okay I'm not okay I'm not okay It's My Chemical Romance on ZMU Motion Monday. I'm not okay. Gerard Way actually responsible for,

or in part for the Umbrella. The Umbrella Academy. Which is on Netflix. Which is good. I finished. I finished. Fletch started it. Do you want to tell Vaughn what he did?

No, Vaughn. I couldn't get past the first episode. I was like, oh, no, I didn't think it'd be your property. It took ages to get into action, though. It was too much moping around. Get into the first episode. I was like, oh, no, I didn't think it'd be your cup of tea. It took ages to get into action, though. It was too much moping around. Get into the action quicker. It's been the story set up not quite your cup of tea, is it? Yeah, you don't like a good bit of backstory and a good bit of...

It's like, get straight to it. It's been breaking streaming records, though, hasn't it? In the States and stuff. Everybody's watching it. So I'm in a minority, sure. Okay, want to talk about maths. Last night. Married at First Sight.

Oh, sorry. Married at First Sight Australia is on. If you haven't watched last night's episode, then you're going to get a wee spoiler alert here because we lost a couple. So Lauren and Matt. Now, Matt's the virgin guy, isn't he? Yep.

And so he lost his virginity to Lauren on the honeymoon. Now, they seemed like they were going great, all up until she revealed that she wanted to, in the future, maybe have threesomes, maybe swing. She was chucking it out there to see if Matt was keen. And that for Matt would be like going from zero to 100 in a week. So was that where they teamed them up, is that she was sexually adventurous and he was the...

She was supposed to kind of take the lead a little bit and I think she did but she, instead of like taking the lead and going slow, like walking along, she took the lead

and like yanked his, yanked him along. Literally. I don't think we can talk about how she yanked on him. Sorry. It was a bad analogy. So Matt might have freaked out a little bit

and he went to the dinner party and said to the lads, I don't think I'm attracted to her. Now the problem with that is that Lauren heard it and so they are no longer on the show. He moved out. Yeah. And when he moved out of their apartment

he also cleaned out the fridge. Which is weird. This is weird because I'm imagining the producers in the show put all the stuff in the fridge, right? It's not his stuff, is it? Yeah, I guess so. They would give them money to go grocery shopping, right? And he's like, I'm moving out, I'm taking all the food.

What do you reckon they put in there though? Because surely they provided the meals rather than giving them stuff to cook for themselves. No, they give them stuff to cook so that they can like do it together.

Oh, so they live like a couple. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They live like a couple. So she, Lauren, told all the girls that he cleaned out the fridge. And that's what we want

to talk about right now. Because I'd love to know when, and it doesn't have to be in a relationship. When someone left your house, what did they take with them? When someone moved out? It could be a flat. It could be in a relationship. I moved out of, this is not groundbreaking in any way. But when I moved out of my last flat, I had a really favourite orange cup.

Was it your cup? No, it wasn't my cup, but I took it. Because I loved it so much, I'd always use it. That's not your cup to take. I know, but I took it. Was it part of a set? No, it wasn't part of a set. Never heard back.

I got away with it to this day. They just hate you. Yeah. And then I had to throw it out because it doesn't match any of my other plates and stuff. Oh, see? Wasteful stealing. Wasteful stealing. When I moved out, actually, our flat disbanded, so everyone moved out at once.

And my other flatmate stole my Pyrex jug. Rob. Oh, no. Rob stole my Pyrex jug. Rob. Rob stole the Pyrex. Rob stole it. Yes. That son of a bitch has got a lot to answer for.

And then when I went to buy another one, those are expensive. That son of a bitch has got a lot to answer for. And then, when I went to buy another one, those are expensive. Oh yeah, they're real expensive, eh? Yeah. You should never sell another person's Pyrex. No, that's sacred.

Sorry, I've never forgiven him for that. I still don't have a new Pyrex jug either. I never replaced it. That's unacceptable. You need to wait for a Briscoe's sale.

Yeah. Which, they're very rare. It's a premium product though. Do they go on sale? I don't know. Well, that's the thing. You'll get in there.

You'll be lured in with the promise of a sale and then you'll... They won't be on sale. They won't be on sale. What size are you after? Well, it was just medium. It wasn't too big.

Like a one litre? Yeah. Yeah, one litre would be fine. Why, are you going to buy me one? No, I'm just looking. So Briscoe's. I'm on Briscoe's. I didn't even know they really did an online shop.

Are you kidding? At $16.99 for a one. No, that's only one cup, Megan. Oh, that shan't be big enough. I told you. It's not really shan't. Very expensive. It's so expensive.

One cup. As an idea, we could just do Megan's shopping later, Vaughan, just and move on with the topic. No, I appreciate it. Oh, no, I'm in. I'm in now. But are they on sale though? Um,

nah. Okay, right. So you've got to wait a week. This is the thing, wait every week until it's on sale. Mighty Ape have moved into Pyrex. That's an interesting move from them, isn't it? Mighty Ape do everything though. They do everything.

I know, it is weird how they do everything, though. They do everything. They do everything. I know. It is weird how they do everything because you don't even go there for like pop culture stuff or board games or presents for someone you don't know what to buy for.

But you can get the Pyrex from them now. Well, good to know. Good to know. Get anything from them. Well, whether it was a Pyrex, whether or not someone cleared out some of your favourite items, what did someone take

when they moved out of a flat? Or an ex, what did they take? Well, maybe someone took your favourite orange cup from your flat and you've just never forgiven them. Maybe they have. They didn't not only not send it back, they threw it away. Yeah. We're talking about a situation that happened on Maths last night.

Lauren and Matt, they've broken up. And when Matt left the apartment, he took all the food from the fridge. I mean, was it really his food to take? No, it was theirs, probably given to them by the producers. Yeah, 50-50. But he did take it all. So we want to know what you've taken or what someone has taken from your house when they moved out. Cassie, somebody moved out.

What did they take? They took my cheese grater and it was the best cheese grater in the world. Oh, monster. Describe it to me. So it was triangular, but it had little feet on it. So then that way when you lifted it up,

you didn't squish the cheese. Did it have that black knob on the top? Does it have a black knob? Yeah. Yeah, I've got the same one. It's magnificent. I think we've got the same one too. It's really great.

Those feet on the bottom also don't slip when you're getting into some vigorous grading. Exactly. And it's been like six years now and I'm still really upset. Did you have to go out and replace it? I tried, but I haven't been able to find it. So I've got, you know, just your good old traditional cheese grater that doesn't quite make grated cheese. Sort of a four-sided situation. Yeah.

You see, I've got the four-sided one, and it's all right, but it's not great. But hearing you guys talk about this tri-grater, that sounds... And it's got a rubber knob on the top for grip. Yeah. It's got the grip feet. If I've got the rectangular one, I'm getting an extra side of grating. You guys are. Yeah, but nobody uses the side that makes, getting an extra side of grating. You guys aren't. Yeah, but nobody uses

the side that makes the potato chip grating. It's an underutilised side. There's no need for four different types of grating. Right. Okay. I don't want to rain on your foresight of Grater Parade, Fletch, but that's just... Right, okay. So I've just googled them. I googled

them. I think mostly these are called pyramid graters or tower graders. So if you want to go online and have a bit of a search around. Okay, well, good to know. Thanks for your call, Cassie. Lisa, what did your flatmate take when they moved out? So our flatmate bought a house and that was all good. He was taking his stuff from the kitchen and everything.

And me and my husband were sitting in the lounge and we look up and he's walking down the corridor with the toilet brush. And we were like, what are you doing? And he said to us, oh, well, I bought this when we moved in here about 18 months ago so I think I'm going to take it with me.

Oh, no, buy a new one. It's also had 18 months worth of poos on it. Yeah. The worst part was he then went to go Oh, no, buy a new one. It's also had 18 months worth of poos on it. The worst part was he then went to go into my kitchen to clean the toilet brush to take with him. Oh, no. Are you cutting my... What, were you going to clean it in the sink? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I put a stop to it. I put a stop to it. Don't put your poos in there, mate. Pretty much. That is ridiculous. Lisa, I put a stop to it. I put a stop to it. Don't put your pose in there, mate. Pretty much. That is ridiculous. Lisa, thanks for your call. Rhys, what did the flatmate take when they moved out? Oh, yeah.

So I'm in a dairy farm. Okay. And one of our staff members is getting fired, obviously. Yeah. And he's meant to move out of the house. We went on farm at the point, but he missed out. Turns out he took all the light bulbs and all the door hinges and of the house. We went on five minutes a point, but he missed out. Turns out, took all the light bulbs and all the door hinges

and left the door. Now, what do they want with that many hinges? God knows. To this day, we still haven't figured out why. And it's a bit of work

getting a hinge off a door. Oh, well, it's only a couple of screws, but like, I think he was just trying to mess with us. But a couple of screws

on every hinge and every door would have multiple hinges, and then you could have gone to every door in the house. Yeah, well, he obviously had some spare time, but, yeah. That's ridiculous. All right, Ray, thanks for your call. Some text messages. Somebody else said, when I broke up with my ex, she took half of my clothes. I said, I can have my clothes back, And she said, no, I like them.

So I wasn't allowed. Oh, right. But if they were hoodies, they might have had boob marks. Yeah. Boob stretchy marks. She just got used to them. Yeah. My neighbours who were renting took the hot water cylinder with them when they moved out.

What? We saw them with something really big and we thought, that's weird. And then later on, it turns out they'd stolen the hot water cylinder. But, like, you don't need one of those when you go to a new flat. They usually have them. Yeah. Somebody said, my ex took all my fun junk food appliances when he moved out. My ice cream maker, my hot dog maker, my waffle iron and my popcorn maker.

I've always wondered who buys all those things. You know when you go to, like, an old leaming or whatever and you walk down that aisle and you're like, I could use that twice. Yeah, exactly. And then have it take up an unreasonable amount of room in a cupboard. That'd be great. He left me his Nutribullet though. Funny thing is my ex tells me since he's gained 20 kgs

and I'm skinnier than when we were together. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now wait, okay, we should say that Vaughn is in exile. Vaughn is in a secret location because... How much out was I? Really out. Really out. This is difficult. I thought it would be easier.

You're in exile because you know the secret sound, so the public can't find you. Well, shall I lead the charge and you fall into line? Yeah, and you don't listen to us. I'm going to start and take my headphones off. Okay. Okay, ready? If we've organised that, it must be

time for Fact of the Day! Day, day, day, day. A doodle-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. That was great. How long is Vaughan going to be in exile for, Caitlin? How long is this going on for until the sounds won? Yeah, until the sounds won. He's getting a per diem.

I want a per diem. Why is he getting a per diem? Because he's in high. Am I getting a per diem? No is he getting a per diem? Because he's in high school. Am I getting a per diem? No, he's not. I don't think he is, bitch. Oh, is he not? Oh, now I demand a per diem.

No. Because if you're getting a per diem just for doing your job, I want a per diem. No, none of you are getting a per diem. Come on. Come on. I deserve a per diem. I'm an exile. Do I get one for being a per diem?

Megan is the most likely to get a per diem. Yeah. Because she's pretty cute. Even Joseph Stalin gave a per diem to people he kicked out of Soviet Russia. Like, go to Serbia. Here's a per diem. How much was that per diem? A couple of dollars?

Not a lot. It was inflation and communism. Right. Today's fact of the day is that it's really good for kids to roll down hills. Okay. You know when you're a kid and you do that thing where you'd lie at the top of a hill and then you just like just absolutely let yourself go and you just turn into a rolling mess of arms and legs?

You mean long ways, not like roly-poly forward tumbling. That might be okay too, but this was specifically in reference to the long ways where you lie down like a log and then get yourself rolling. Yeah. Haven't done that for so long. I should live a little and do that. No, it's because it makes you feel sick now. It's awful.

Right. When you're an adult, it just destroys you. And you're like, man, I don't remember the ground being this hard and my neck just like whack, whack, whack. So there was a study into kids using big muscles and using their big muscles, but also being an out of control movement. Okay.

And it basically found that it's really good for them to kind of program their body as to where their center is because when you're rolling or spinning, you've got a center mass. Yeah. So you know whereabouts the center of your body is. And also just to, like, program your body to know what it's like when arms and legs are out of control and how to get them back into control and control yourself.

It's like an essential part of development for kids. And apparently seen throughout the animal kingdom as a, you know how you see, like, cute lion cubs, like, rolling down hills or those polar bears when they, or grizzly bears when the bears just roll down the hills and don't really want to stop themselves. Right. So it's your brain kind of wiring into your muscles and working out where everything is in the centre and how to control everything. Isn't that called something when you do it with a drone or a camera or something? You have to roll it around to get its bearings?

Calibration. Calibration, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I guess you are doing a calibrating your brain for the first time and then get out there and calibrate again. But, you know, when you're a kid, you're also, you can go on those spinny rides at playgrounds where you sit on and hold that centre wheel

and get yourself really whirring. But then when you're an adult, you go on there for two rounds and it ruins your entire day. Oh, yeah. I went on the UFO spinning plate thing at the Margaret Mahe playground. Ruined me. Ruins your day. I'd had a couple of, you know, RTDs.

Yeah. That had nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with it. Well, not enough to make it the problem, but. Even going on swings, like now, I can't do it for too long because my tummy comes up. Well, then when I had kids and they'd go on swings, he'd go on the swing.

It does take a little bit of training to get back into a swing. Because you start, and the same with trampolines. bit of training to get back into a swing because you start, and the same with trampolines. Okay. So what, a trampoline lately? Ruin you. Yeah.

We went to that jumping inside world or whatever it's called. Oh yeah. Well, that ruins people but that's mostly because every time I go, I hurt somebody

because I'm a 90 kg torpedo basically flying around a trampoline park. Yeah, so today's, and this is a big thing now in like early childhood education centres. They want kids to have areas where they can headstand and roly-poly.

And obviously, you've still got to be a bit careful. You can't just have a pile of jagged rocks at the bottom of the hill that they're rolling down. But today's fact of the day is it's good for kids to do roly-polies down hills.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. A study has been done that looks into the most desirable age for a man or a woman. So this is the age that the opposite sex finds the most attractive. Okay, and at what age? At what age? Okay, right. So I'll start with women.

There is a graph which makes it easier to explain. So basically women follow kind of with the exception of when you get older, when you start around 20 years of age, you prefer guys around 23 or 24. Then when it gets to about 25, it's fairly straightforward. 25-year-olds prefer 25, 26, 26. Right. So as a woman gets older, they prefer men of the similar age to them. Okay.

That is up until you get to about your 40s and onward. Then you start to prefer men a little bit younger. You wait, sunshine. Just hold your horses. We haven't got to the men's graph yet. So when you're 40, it's like 38. When you're 42, it gets to 39. You know, so it's not a huge gap.

They prefer men just a couple of years younger. Just a little bit younger. Or just anyone with a good job or... Nice. How did they pick them? Was this just by not knowing someone's age and picking the photo of the man you would most... Or they knew this guy's 38,

this guy's... Or going on the average of the age. It's attractiveness. So it's not like in a relationship or anything. Yeah, it's done by photos. So we move on to the men's graph. So the men's

graph, there's not really much to tell you other than it takes it from the age of 20 to 50. Men from the age of 20 to 50 prefer 20 year olds. It doesn't change. No. Even as men get older. Oh, there's the exception of 40.

This might just be a blip in the study. A 45 year old prefers a 24 year old. But other than that it's 20 or 21. Pretty much right up until you're 50. Say what you will about me, I'm a bit consistent. So, as soon as you're past the age of 20 as a woman you become much less desirable um

than your 20 year old equivalent this study also said that men who are older will prefer prefer the 20 year old female but they won't message them on dating apps why because it looks bad well i guess maybe they're realistic. They're like, they'll still message women their own age or a little bit younger. So you end up in a relationship with a woman your own age until someone who's around 20 shows

some interest and then you're like, see ya. But it's like a nice car. You know you can't afford a Ferrari or an Audi but you'll walk past the car yard and have a look on your way to the Mazda dealership. And you know that all the Great Wall dealership. This is like the Tristan Thompson effect, though. Chloe's 34 and Jordan Woods is 21.

Yeah, right. But he's not a good example, though, for any man. Yeah, that's definitely the first time in history that a man has cheered on his partner with a younger woman. That is actually the first time. history that a man has cheered on his partner with a younger woman. That is actually the first time. Yeah, the post. Interesting, though, because talking to Mr. Toyboy at the weekend, Megan, at Bourne's party, he was telling me how much he loves Raina James.

Connie Britton. Connie Britton. I know. He loves her. Who's in the new Dirty John Netflix show that I'm watching at the moment. She's a great actress. Love it. She was in Friday Night Light.

She's been in so many things. She's brilliant. She's 51. And Mr. Toyboy. Wow. Let me tell you what. If he had the chance. I think she might actually be his pass card.

If I asked him, because we're watching Dirty John at the moment, he would 100% say Connie And doesn't he love Judi Dench? No, no, no. Judi Dench. Is that you? Helen Mirren. Helen Mirn? Helen Mirren. Helen Mirren. Helen Mirren.

And Diane Keaton. Yeah. He's like, I love those turtlenecks. Can you wear a turtleneck? I was like, what are you doing? No, not yet. So his graph would go the other way. Yeah, it would.

Well, that's good because we go opposite ways and we'll cross in the middle, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Megan's not complaining. Yeah. ZDM's Fletch, yeah, yeah. Megan's not complaining.
