Ziddyms, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Friday.

Yes. Have you seen the ad for PB Technology that uses actual dash cam footage? Have you heard about this? Is that an ad? Rigmarole? Yeah, so they're saying come and buy a dash cam from PB Technology. I did not know. For example, if these people hadn't had this dash cam,

they wouldn't have caught this hilarious tailgate. Nose to tail. With the woman out the back of the car. Yeah. Is it Russia where everyone has one? Everyone's got dash cams. And there's always great footage from Russia. There was this TV show on later night over the holidays.

I saw it. And I looked it up. And basically, there's this company. When you have something that you catch on dash cam, you email them. They make you a cash offer. They'll accept it from anywhere in the world. Oh, yeah. And then they have the rights.

They have the rights to it. They put it into a TV show, and it goes around the world, and it's narrated by people in different countries. Right. Like Fail Army, that TV show, but for dash cam footage. And I looked into the logistics of it. It's nuts. Yeah.

It's nuts. And as you say, a never-ending supply of weird stuff that happens on dash cams. If I had a car, though, I wouldn't want that because I'd feel like it would always be incriminating against me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like I'd be driving home and I'd go on the rumble lines because I'm not concentrating.

Yeah, and like I'm just incriminating myself really. That's all I'd be doing. And then I get very close because someone stops in front of me and I'm not paying attention. Yeah. But the footage, have you seen the footage? No. So there's a nose, you should watch it.

I mean, you shouldn't watch it because they're using, there's a privacy thing, but it's pretty crazy footage. There's a nose to tail and then a mum. But it's on the public roads. Or an auntie gets out of the car and starts coming around to tell off the driver of the car and he backs over her, his own auntie or mum or whatever, and knocks her to the ground and then she goes around to try to get back in

and he takes off and knocks her over again. Then he pulls over at the traffic lights. And she, like, runs over and jumps in. And they take off. Really weird. And someone would have got a real hiding when they got home. You need a dash cam then. I know.

You do need one. I know. Because what's the deal with them? They automatically start recording when you're driving. I think they're motion. Then they loop and record over each other. Yeah, they'll record the last 15 minutes of the journey. So there's a crash, you press a button and it saves it, right?

Because I know a lot of truckies in New Zealand have them and make it like a compilation. For insurance purposes. Right. I think most truck drivers have them now just for... Because it's so easy to blame the truck driver. Yeah. But then they can have the footage that... In fact, there was a New Zealand TV show of just truck-based dashcam footage.

It's nuts. If you need a reminder of how crazy people drive on our roads. Alright, Friday flashback. Today, the first one. It's your turn. 2019. So we're gonna we can open up songs from the year 2009. And what a year 2009 was. We say now, but

end of March, we'll be struggling to fill it. Yeah. It's all good. Alright, so that's my pick today, coming up at nine on the show. Alright, you struggling to fill it. It's all good. All right, so that's my pick today. Coming up at nine on the show. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news headlines for story time. Vaughn and Megan pick one of the following three stories.

Headline one, police college goes wild. Headline two, Tom chooses wrong house to peep into. Tom. Peeping into Tom Peeping Tom Peeping Tom Oh, oh, I didn't get it Lucky Vaughn's here And headline three Jesus told me to do it

Says arrested man How's that going for you in court? Exactly The Police college gone wild Yeah Want that one? So I've talked about it before The Police College Gone Wild Yeah Want that one? Because I've talked about it before

But I think we're ready for a Police Academy reboot I'm surprised it hasn't happened It's got to be a matter of time, right? But who would do that Motormouth guy? That was like a very special The guy that makes all the noises Well, he's still alive and making noises I thought he died

He would definitely be in it He'd have to be. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. I don't think that kind of movie would work now. That kind of slapsticky, do you think it would work? So I watched one of them semi-recently.

It was on like one of those old movie channels. Yeah. And yeah. Humour-wise, I think we've come a long way. Pretty racist. Real sexist. Yeah. Yeah. Human-wise, I think we've come a long way. Pretty racist. Real sexist. Yeah. It'd be amending.

Pretty crazy. Okay. Well, we go to Mexico now. And three aspiring police cadets were arrested late Monday at a hotel in northeastern Mexico after their party ended in arrest, in a fight, actually. So police were called to the hotel where what is described as a sex party between cadets.

A sex party? A sex party ended in a fight between two women. Now, I don't know if they were fighting over who got the police cadet guy. The baton? The baton. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

But police had to arrest the three cadets. But it was there where a plot twist happened. One of the arresting officers noticed that one of the females was his wife oh no yes oh no oh yes so i don't know if his wife was like i want to be a police police like you too i want to be like you yeah all right uh Alright But yeah he Got the shock of his life When he found his wife Not just in a fight But in a fight

With a woman Naked In a hotel room During an UJ During what? An orgy An orgy Okay I'll just say it

Yeah Wow That's why I couldn't do an UJ Because I'd get in a fight Took one of them a while To get her mug shot They had to hold her face They while to get her mug shot. They had to hold her face.

She looks like a cat that's just been given a pill and now you've got to hold their mouth shut until they swallow it. You know how you go, on an animal or a cat, you get it, and you force him out of there and then you hold it shut and swallow it, swallow it, swallow it.

Wow. But do you reckon, imagine being a Small town policeman When you knew everyone Anyway Yeah You'd turn up to some calls

You'd know all the goss in town Oh yeah Yeah Know everyone's like dodginess Yeah you'd be right at the centre of it all Get discounts everywhere You'd love it Because you're a big goss

Oh yes And I love cars with lights So it would just be Two of my faves. And sirens? All, yes. Or just more the lights? Both.

And a uniform. Right. Okay. And access to firearms. Sounds like I've got my next job sorted. FM. Another day, another Lime Scooter story. Following up from you shitting yourself riding over cobblestones in Prague.

Can we always, because I heard Belle mention this yesterday, can we always preface that story with I had Camp Labacta, I was horrifically ill, and I was holding on to dear life. And an accident. And you thought the Lime Scooter would be a quick way to get to the toilet. Until I had the cobblestones. That's the story. Yeah.

But don't leave out the Camp Labacta bit. Because it makes me just sound like I just can't function daily. Right. Prefer any band. Like, no, it's not, Megan. So this is what I'm saying. It's not what the reviews have said. You need to start replying to those Airbnb reviews What are you doing?

I saw just to slightly deviate Okay From our intended subject here Right I saw a TripAdvisor place Where every time I got a bad review It went into a full blown argument You know how the TripAdvisor was a restaurant

and someone would be like, I found the pictures didn't match the menu. God damn it, it's hard to match the menu to the pictures every time when you're in a hurry and you've got people to serve. Tastes just as good. Shut your mouth. Oh, I would say

something just to wind them up. I know, and I think that's what it would have become. Oh, I would say something just to wind them up. I know, and I think that's what it would have become. Anyway, back to Lime Scooters. Another day under the Lime Scooter headline. This one sucks too. I like the ones where people nearly got run over. Like when that, right. Was it Christine Fletcher, the councillor, was like,

I nearly died. It's like, shut up. Yeah. The government apparently have been approached about introducing a 10 kilometre an hour speed limit for e-scooters. This is any electronic scooter. I, because I've heard rumblings of this. You know, I tried to get a line.

Same rumblings that you heard when you were going over the cobblestones on the line. We don't need those rumblings. Different rumblings. Because yesterday when I was coming to work and I'd heard this mentioned, I was like, I'm going to try 10Ks because they have a speedo on them. Yeah.

And normally you're going about anywhere between 17 and 22Ks. Yeah. Would be what you get up to. If you're going downhill, you might get 30. We got up to 30, didn't we, on that walkway. Actually, I was a scally. Yeah, I got scaled at 19. But I was like, I'm just going to try going with the throttle.

Just go 10Ks. It's too slow. You may as well just not bother, to be honest. Could you walk 10Ks? 10Ks is a trot. It's a light jog. It's a light jog. It's a light jog.

But 10Ks, like, I think it's got to be 20 or 18 maybe. Because that's max speed, right? Max it out at like 20. And also, is it like a car? Are they just going to say the speed limit's 50, but the car can go 100? Yes, yeah. Oh, well then, oh, that's fine.

I'll still go 20. And where are we at with running them in bike lanes? And on the shoulder of the road. Because I actually feel way safer driving them on the shoulder of the road than on the footpath. Yeah, I do too. Mostly because they're quiet and like old people, when I've been on them and I see

an old person, I'm like, oh, I'm going to scare the shit out of them when I get up. Well, yeah, because it's like a magic flying machine. I know. Don't pretend like you. And they don't hear it. He doesn't go on the shoulder of the road because when I come to work in the morning, he hoons through the middle of the intersection. Well, yeah, but it's 4.30, Megan. Oh, you're going to park?

If it's 4.30, I'll be straight down the guts, like right down the middle of the road. Yeah, no, but I don't, if it's 4.30, Megan. No, it's 4.30. I'd be straight down the guts, like right down the middle of the road. Yeah, no, but I don't, if it's like peak time and everyone's around, I'll just go on the road.

Pass. That's the flattest part, Megan, and we all know what happens when he goes, I'm over the bumpy bits. Shit at the pipe hand. FEM. ZM.

Vaughn. Speaking. Do you have a light-coloured hoodie? Like a grey hoodie? I do, yes. Okay. Do you also have a light coloured hoodie? Like a grey hoodie? I do, yes Okay Do you also have a headlamp? I do, yes

I have three headlamps Three or four headlamps Because like Every time I go camping I lose the last one So I need to get another one Then I find them all Yeah

Over the past Oh no, you've got your beard I was going to say Have you been clean shaven In all of the past weeks? I haven't been clean shaven In a very long time Sounds like you're

But is this over the last week? Because I haven't worn that grey hoodie. It's one of those winter hoodies. You put it on in summer and you're just... Yeah. It's absolutely melting.

Sounds like you're describing a criminal. It's not you then. There is a criminal out West Auckland that police are on the lookout for. He robbed a Peaches and Cream store on Lincoln Road.

For those not familiar, adult fun toys. Oh, more about berries and cream. Beraches and cream store on Lincoln Road. For those not familiar, adult fun toys. Oh, more about berries and cream. Berries and cream. I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream. That's probably the greatest ad of ever. That's the greatest ad ever. Berries and cream.

What was it for? Starburst. It's on YouTube. What did you say? Berries and cream. Beers and Cream. Starburst. It's on YouTube. What did you say? Beers and Cream. Oh, my. Beers and Cream. Beers and Cream. I'm a little lad who loves berries and cream.

So great. There are like 90% of people listening right now have no idea what we're talking about. 99% of people. Go on YouTube. Google it. Beers and Cream. Starburst Beers and Cream.

You won't regret it. It's so great. So Peaches and Cream are on the lookout for a burglar. Berries and Cream. Google Starbucks Berries and Cream. You won't regret it. It's so great. So Peaches and Cream are on the lookout for a burglar. Peaches and Cream. Peaches and Cream. I'm a little lady who loves Peaches and Cream. Well, this lad loves it. He stole an abundance, a quantity of adult toys and DVDs.

Oh. I don't even know how to, I wouldn't even be able to play a DVD at my place. Yeah, like not that I'm condoning. Or a PlayStation? Uh, yeah. Does it not, that doesn't have a slot? No, it does because you

play DVDs, it doesn't play music CDs. Okay, right. I don't think. But that would be the only way I'd be able to play a DVD. Yeah. You just don't need to.

Not that I'm condoning stealing adult fun toys, but they're expensive and you can kind of understand. But like DVDs, what's he going to... Well, no, I can understand a family stealing food because they're hungry and don't have any money, but I can't understand.

I'm not condoning anyone stealing adult fun toys. It's manageable. How many can you use at once? You've only got one. Presumably. He might have two, but that would be a medical situation. Yeah. Well, maybe he's selling them.

I don't know. Is there a clear photo? It is quite clear, actually. Oh, no. So he's got a hoodie on and a headlamp, but his face is... What's the headlamp? This was a nighttime robbery. So he could be like, ah, seen that, seen that, seen that.

This one I haven't seen. And, like, I'm showing you the picture. You can see his face quite clearly. He's got a really skinny, long face. He does have a moon face. Like someone's pressed his face on the sides and it's gone squish up. Like he's passing on food. Looks like an 1800s photo where they moved slightly during the long exposure.

Yeah. So police are on the hunt. There's a very clear picture. If you do know this man, it's going to be quite embarrassing but get in touch with police. Have they tried a cave? Oh, because he's got a lot of...

He's got a headlamp. He's been spelunking. That's a caving term, not playing with yourself. I reckon just look for houses with the curtains drawn and knock on the door and if someone's like,

hold on, hold on, then it's them. I've got it. That's your man. That's your man. There's good news. My favourite sort of strike is going to be happening. Okay. This is in Wellington.

If you catch public transport, this could be for you. Right. I mean, it's not great news for the bus drivers. Basically, they're striking because there's been more part-time shifts allocated with fewer hours. So that means the drivers are paid less because they're working less and then also don't know when they're working. Yeah, that would be. Because it's all part-time.

That's pretty stink. That's pretty stink. That's happening. But during a stop meet and a strike that happened a couple of days ago, it was decided upon if it's not all sorted and worked out by the end of January they're going to work but they're going to refuse to take any money from passengers.

So they just let people ride the bus for free. That's the best strike because you're still getting your service but you're not paying for it. I think that happened in Auckland like years and years ago and it was great. It was like get a free little $1.70 ride to work. How do they do it?

The bus drivers. They just stop. They say, oh, nobody jumped on. They stop. Yeah. And they just let you on, but they're like, they just don't let you pay. But then like, legally, can they? Well, I guess so.

Like when they sign a contract. You're giving away your company's service for free then. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's better than, I don't know. It's not better than not working at all, is it? For the company. It's actually pretty worse for the company because their buses are still being used and they're using up fuel. Whereas a strike, no one's out at all.

So at least you're not using the buses. Yeah. From a company's perspective. But from a passenger, it's great. Free. You get a free ride. And then the bus drivers are getting everyone else on their side by giving them free rides.

Yes. And not striking. Still providing the service. But then you'd be like, I hope your strike ends. I hope you get where you want. Not really, because I like free bus rides. That's a confusing one. I just don't even know how.

Look, if you went to get in your bus that day and the boss was there, he's like, are you going to make people pay? You're like, oh, yeah, the rest of these guys are but aren't, but I'm going to make them pay. And then you're like, nah, and then drive your bus away. And then you get back and there's no money. And he's like. But when everybody's striking at once and doing it at once, you kind of.

You can't fire everyone. But it's like the government shut down in America. So they're just not getting paid. And I think they have said that they'll get back pay, but people are just not... That doesn't help you at the time. They're just not turning up to work. Like, they've had to shut airports.

Whole terminals. Air traffic controllers are government employees. Air traffic controllers are screeners just aren't coming to work because they're like, well, we're not getting paid.

I'm not going to screen people's bags. Yeah. That's madness. Crazy. Yeah, that government shutdown over there Is kind of a lot to comprehend It's the longest ever

Yeah It's a lot to comprehend So if you're flying into America Next couple of days I expect massive lines Good luck I think the planes are landing Within like five seconds

Sometimes They just Yeah I'm kidding they're not And quite hard Sure You take off and you're like Oh that plane's close.

Knows the tails. Yeah. Okay, that's scary. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Today's Top Six dealing with the teacher shortage. Apparently Auckland will struggle to fill the teaching vacancies this year. There's 400 job vacancies nationwide and many of them are in Auckland.

And so it's just the ongoing issue with the massive teacher shortage that the country is experiencing throughout education, not just primary or secondary, the whole shebang. So I have sat down and over the last 20 minutes, I've given it some thought and I've already got six ideas. How hard can it be? You should be running the country. I should be.

Are they back yet? Don't encourage him. Are they back yet? He's still on holiday. Guess who's already back working on solutions? This guy. Am I on an MP's wage? No, I'm doing it for nothing.

So the top six solutions for the teacher shortage number six, just bigger classrooms with more kids in it. I'm talking university lecture style classrooms. Right. If it's good enough to go to university and be in a lecture hall with like hundreds of other students. So instead of one teacher for like 20 kids, one teacher for 300 kids. Okay, this is good.

And then we need less teachers. Like five-year-olds. Yeah. Okay. But I can hear the critics already. And then we need less teachers. Like five-year-olds. Yeah. Okay. But I can hear the critics already. And there will be. There always is. Vaughan, what about the crucial one-on-one time

a child needs the teacher to blossom and reach their full potential? Yeah, what about it? I don't have an answer. It's teaching independence. Yeah, it is. And neediness, probably. Answering a question with another question, are you?

And they just wet their pants because they put their hands up but the teacher wouldn't see their hand up. What do they put on the big screen? Just Dora? No, teaching stuff. Oh, right, okay. Letters. Letters.

Numbers. Repeat after me. A. And all the students just have numbers because there's too many of them to remember the names. Okay. Number five on the list of the top six solutions to this teacher shortage are robots.

They're taking most jobs, so get them teaching kids things like how to overthrow their human makers and how, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stupid humans, we were the first to Mars. True. Which technically they are the universe's first Martians. I saw a story the other day

about robot caregivers in Japan because you know how they've got a very old population very old population yeah apparently they've got a lot

of old people that need care and robots are doing it imagine that like on that movie Big Hero 6 yeah that was so cute

take your glasses off and you think it's a real person I guess so yeah would Take your glasses off and you think it's a real person. Guess so, yeah. Would you want a robot giving you a sponge bath though? A lot can go wrong. We're not supposed to put electronics near the water.

Yeah, true. But then maybe it'll take care of the ageing population. The robot's giving them a bath and it's like, I'm sorry about this. It's like, one less, two careful. Take care of that ageing population. Shit, we're solving international problems now. Aren't we? Number four on today's top six solutions for the teacher shortage.

Make it illegal to have schools in big cities. They're too expensive for teachers to live in on teachers' wages. And I completely agree. Auckland's a very expensive place to live in. Entry-level teachers have shockingly low wages. So that would mean you'd have to move to a smaller town. Who? You, if you had a kid.

Just the children. Auckland becomes an adult-only wasteland. Okay, right. Imagine it. Mum and Dad cut loose 365. Yeah. Because the kids aren't home. They live in a small rural town now.

Okay. Being taught things. Number three on the list of the top six solutions for teacher shortage. Get these kids working. Too many kids in school. Not enough in the workforce. Okay. School schmool.

If they don't want to be there, get them on a sewing machine, making shoes for international sports apparel companies. The smart ones get to go to school. Yeah. I'm not saying it's a perfect situation, but China does it, and their economy's looking pretty healthy. True. Touche.

Number two on the list of the top six solutions for the teacher shortage, homeschooling. The classroom's teacher-student ratio would be on point, and also none of these obnoxious parents can complain to teachers about their child not getting enough attention True. That'd be the way to get them to appreciate teachers a bit more. And the number one on today's top six solutions for teacher shortage. Do we have a teacher shortage or a surplus of children? Hunger Games.

That'll thin out the crowd a bit. Definitely thin out the crowd a bit. That is today's Top 6. It's in the news today that a very young child was spotted on Auckland's Southern Motorway. Like a toddler.

Yeah. Steering the car as it was driving. How fast was it going? Was it like rush hour, real slow? Well, it's hard to tell. It kind of looks rush hour because she's looking on her phone. The kid's on her lap or standing between her legs on the seat. Steering.

Hands on the wheel. At 10 and 2, by the way. Good. That's good. It's good etiquette. Because you lose those habits, don't you? Yeah. Staring. Hands on the wheel. At 10 and 2, by the way. Good. That's good. It's good etiquette. Because you lose those habits, don't you? Yeah. Perfect practice.

Not just practice makes perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. But even if it was crawling, like the kids not in a seat. Did they have the seatbelt around both of them? Not that that's okay, but. You've got kids. When are you allowed out of car seats? So you're in a car seat.

Oh, the car seats we've got, it was like the minute their shoulders go above the seat straps, you change it to an across belt, and then they're in that until they're at least seven or a certain weight. But then I'm also remembering adults have to wear seat belts. Yeah. This kid is... She's completely in the wrong, this woman.

And she's been... In so many ways. Good Lord. Yeah, I mean, this is the stuff you do when you grow up rurally, not in Auckland where people have got camera phones. You do it when you can't be seen. Oh, yeah, back in the 80s, kids were driving parents to work all the time because there were no camera phones.

Yeah, back in the good old days where a kid could have a smoke. All right, Dad, see you after work, mate. I'll pick you up on the way home. Down the road. It is a bit different rurally. Rurally. How is it different, though? Because you always say you were driving utes when you were a kid.

Yeah. Not a toddler like that. But we would have been sitting on our granddad's knee staring the ute at that age. I can remember my cousin being real, because my cousins were a bit younger than me, and I remember them sitting on my grandad's knee staring the ute at that age. I can remember my cousin being real, because my cousins were a bit younger than me. And I remember them sitting on my grandad's knee staring and they were like two or three. What was your grandad doing? Just driving with the feet.

He was there. He wasn't on his throne or anything. He was like there. But was there ever a time when you were really young and you got to drive without an adult? I'll never forget. It was on a farm, which is even more dangerous

because it's not a nice flat sealed road. It was like a hilly farm and I can distinctly remember my grandad putting the ute into first pulling the choke out a little bit so it like, so it had a little bit of rev. And then he just opened the door and climbed out onto the back of the ute and started

feeding out hay and we were in charge of the entire thing. Oh my god. Like I freak out leaving my kids in the car just to nip into, like get money out of an ATM or something. I'm like, please don't touch anything. Because I'm imagining I'm at the ATM in the car just like, lurches forward because I'm fiddling with things. But we were in charge of the whole.

Wait, how old would you have been? Young. Young. Like I would have been no older than six. And my brother, so my brother would have been seven and my sister would have been four. It was loose. What if he was like a ditch or something?

Oh, we nearly went on, off. I remember at one stage his arm came in the window and he turned the wheel, like, drastically to the left because we were headed towards, like, over a hill, over a cliff. Oh, so he loosely got it. He must have just been, like Feeding out and he turned around And he's like yeah shit okay We'll just

That way kids Oh my god That's so brilliant That was good fun Can we take some calls On those things that your parents Let you do as a kid I can't

Nothing comes to mind like that for me Was there anything If someone was here taking a photo Mum and dad might have been in trouble I can remember using a chainsaw really young, but it was a small chainsaw and it was like an instructional how-to. Was it a My First Chain, My Little Chainsaw?

Did it have a blade on it? Yeah. I cut through a log. So you could cut your arm off? Oh yeah. Okay. But I didn't. How old were you? And now you should see me with a chainsaw. Legendary. Yeah. Oh, I don't know, young, eight maybe? Eight? Using a chainsaw. Legendary. Yeah. I don't know. Young, I'm an eight maybe. Eight?

Using a chainsaw? I just said, maybe it is just different rurally, but you just, it's handy if you can have a, if you can be working a chainsaw. Not an eight. That was just how to do it. Yeah. I was like, how do you do that? It was, I remember it being so heavy.

Yeah. Like it was going, but I had to like keep it it revving and lean on the log to get it through. Alright, well 0800 0800 DALS at M9696 What did your parents let you do as a kid? Which looking back now, you're like, okay, I was a bit young to be doing that.

Well, a woman has been photographed on Auckland's motorway. We don't know if it was crawling traffic. It looks like it was. Either way, it's not great. Okay, was. Either way, it's not great. Okay, yeah, either way, it's not great. You're right, Megan. Having your child steering the car. Infant child between her legs on her lap

steering the wheel while she's on her phone. We want to know what your parents let you did as a kid, which maybe now you look back and you're like, yeah, that was... Let you did. Let you do. Sorry. Let you do as a kid.

What you did as a kid. Like go to school. Great English. Yeah, yeah. No, they won't let you do. Let you do. Sorry. Let you do as a kid. What you did as a kid. Like go to school. Great English. Yeah. No, they won't let you do that. Wow. Some text messages. Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

When I was three years old, I used to walk home from kindergarten by myself as I knew the way. And one day I said to mum, can I walk home by myself? And she said, I can't see why not if you know the way. Oh, I feel like that's the 90s. That wouldn't happen now, would it? No way. No, that's 80s. That's 70s. It feels like even the 80s

three might have been a bit, hee. Someone said, and a few people have said this, my parents used to get me to roll their cigarettes when I was a kid because I had small little fingers. I think I remember doing that for my little fingers. I could roll them nice little ones. I think I remember doing that for my uncle, but I think my dad told me off.

But I was like, oh, that looks like fun. I've tried rolling a cigarette. It's so hard. It is. And then you slobber all over the filter and they get very angry. This will burn slowly, uncle, because it's covered in my slobber. Nino, why did your dad teach you to drive when you were 10? Because he used to enjoy going to the pub

and having a few drinks. And my mother used to get quite annoyed with him driving. So he taught me how to drive so he didn't get in trouble. Wait, so wait, you'd go to the pub with him and you'd sit in the car or he'd just... You know what, he would walk to the pub and tell me to come fetch him at a certain

time. All right. So you had to drive there by yourself and then drive back with drunk dad. It was only a couple of k's down the road and it was sort of a rural farm area, but sort of built up. Right. Could you see over the steering wheel or did you need a cushion, a booster seat? No, no. I could see over the steering wheel. Oh, that's good.

And you never got caught? No, never, ever. There was not really many people around, and there was the odd car, but no police kind of thing. That's so close. Nino, thanks for your call. Sophie, what is it that your parents let you do at a young age? Hi, so me and my four siblings all had to help out with, like,

building work, so making extensions onto our house. Right. This runs from anything from concreting a floor to tiling a roof all between the ages of four and 12. So you're up on a roof putting the tiles on? Yeah, we got taken out of school for a whole week. Wait, how old would you have been when you were up on the roof? Ten.

Wow. With my younger sister, who was like eight. I think about the amount of time we spent on roofs as kids. It was a lot. We'd just be like on the roof. Mum would be like, what are you doing up there? We'd be like, just on the roof. She'd be like, okay.

Yeah, right. Don't fall off. Looking back, did you stay in that house for long? Like, did it leak or anything? Or was it watertight? No, it's fantastic. This was in England. I went back only a few months ago and stayed in the house that we built.

It's bloody fantastic. Although still half built. Great. So that's the problem when you employ your own children. They grow into adults and they won't work for you anymore. They bugger off, don't they? Thanks for your call, Sophie. Shay, how old were you?

I was like four or five. Okay, and what did you do at that young age? Well, I used to help my uncle get the cows up for milking in the afternoons. What he did is he'd put the ute in very slow and fall asleep. And I used to just follow the cows up. Whenever I got too close to the cows, I used to just turn the ute off and then let them get ahead a little bit. And then the ute would start and then start driving again because it was such a low gear.

And then yeah I just used to do all that all the way to the cow shed. It was such a low gear you'd start it in gear and it would hop into life. Yeah yeah. Holy moly. It just goes along and then yeah once I got to the cow shed just turn it off and then yeah wake old uncle up into milking. And you were four. Four years old.

Yeah. Obviously, I didn't help milk. I'd probably just help get the cows around and the bales and whatnot. That's brilliant. And he got a little half an hour nap. That's brilliant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, you're cool, Shay.

Ashley, what did you do at a young age? Yeah, so I grew up on a farm as well, and we did all sorts of crazy stuff. I could ride our quad bike by the time I was four, and Dad used to let me and my friends hang off the tractor forks when we were going down the race at, like, 20km. Oh, moving. And he would be like, he'd be like,

Dad, I'm falling, and he'd be like, well, you better hold on because otherwise you'll go under the tractor. So it's literally hold on or you will be crushed to death. Yeah. It's like American Ninja Warrior, but like very New Zealand. I know, right? Yeah. Brilliant. And they have big grip strength

though. You could probably. Yeah. No, that's true. Thank you, Ashley. A tribute to that. Some text messages in. When I was a kid, my granddad would say, oh, shit, because he'd look at his time and see a horse race that he wanted to have a bet on was coming up. So he'd send me up to the house. I'd ring the horse betting hotline.

I had his account number, and I knew what race and how much money to put on a horse, and I was like seven years old placing bets for granddad over the phone. But over the phone you'd hear, hello, I did a number seven, I placed a bet for my dad. Yeah, number seven at the Trintham, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I'll go for a box quinny as well. Box quinny. Yeah, why not, eh? Sounds good. Alright, cheers mate, bye. That'd be so gold. My grandad used to take me to the pub because he was in charge of me and he wanted to go to the pub.

While he chatted up the bar lady, he'd of me and he wanted to go to the pub. Yeah. While he chatted up the bar lady, he'd give me some money to play on the pokies. I won 30 bucks one day. And I was so excited. Granddad said, oh, why don't you skip down the street and get yourself something? So I went to Decker and got myself a nail sticker maker and came back and did everybody's nails at the pub. Babysitting, eh?

My parents used to let us fry potato chips in a pot of hot oil unsupervised from seven years old. Oh, there's so much that could go wrong there. You're talking house fire there.

You're talking straight out house fire. When I was seven, my parents used to let me have a glass of red wine at dinner. At seven? Seven. Wow. Do me have a glass of red wine at dinner. At seven? Wow.

Did you imagine a seven year old being like... Red as well. Was it a capesab? Was it some kind of like... I hope not. I hope that seven year old had some taste. Mother, is this centralitaco pino? It tastes a little like Malbec. Take it back to the kitchen and try again. How's that?

Glass of... Are they an alcoholic now, do they say? That or Italian, I'm not too sure. Sure. This is going to cause some chat. The Otago University researchers, in fact, this is being published in the New Zealand Medical Journal.

Right. They have said that schools and doctors should routinely offer Kiwi teenage girls long-acting contraceptives. So that's in the form of implants and devices and things. Right. How long can they last? Quite a while, some of them, eh? Yeah.

Some of them last like five years. It just depends on what you're looking at. But the World Health Organization says they're first-line contraceptives for all women. So they should be explaining this to school-age girls. Right. And offering them to them as well. Is that up to the school at the moment? Is that all individual choice of school?

I don't know. For what they teach about contraception. Because I don't remember learning too much about contraception. Learn about what you do and how it makes a baby. And they rolled the condom over the wooden penis. Yeah. Remember that? I remember we were taught about the pill,

but I don't remember hearing about anything else other than that. Right. So I remember hearing about condoms and the thing of ha ha ha ha but not like much more than that. No. And that's when they spoke to a group of girls, they did a focus group.

A lot of teenage girls admitted they didn't know a lot about contraception. Which is weird because you should be learning about that, shouldn't you? Yeah. I hate that argument of, oh, if you teach them about it they're gonna want to do it because if if anything sex the more you learn about it the more you're like yuck like when you've got no real in-depth knowledge

of it you're like that sounds great and then you start learning more about it and you're like it's all pretty gross or even just knowing about all the risks. Yeah. Well, that was under the umbrella of what I mean by gross. The risks, the diseases. But then just like babies as well. But one of the people that were in the focus group said, if all females had this information and maybe the long-term contraception,

it would just be the same as what boys have all the time, not having the fear of accidentally becoming pregnant. But I don't understand. That's a sad statement because boys should have that fear too. They're equally as responsible. Yeah, yeah, that's not growing inside them, but it couldn't have happened without them and they should feel a responsibility toward it.

They have a responsibility as well. Yeah. Yeah, crazy. I definitely think teenage parents of teenage boys have got to be explaining that side of things as well. Like it can't all fall on teenage girls to take all of the responsibility

and make sure everything's safe and protected just because they're the ones that are going to have a baby inside them at the end of things. And that's the worrying thing I think is that you might have a long term contraceptive but that

doesn't protect you from like STIs and stuff. Yeah, yeah. Interesting. But I think yeah, the conversations definitely need to be had at school about contraception. Oh yeah, living in ignorance about it certainly. It's not going to help. Yeah, just ask any Catholic high school. Yeah. Ask them how it goes when they just don't teach them anything about it. It's not going to help. Yeah. Just ask any Catholic high school. Yeah.

Ask them how it goes when they just don't teach them anything about it. Baby boomers. My parents. Yeah. What have they done now? We're allowed to have a go, right? Because I think our parents fall into that.

Yeah. Like they'll have a go at us, we'll have a go at them. It's just a bit of intergenerational banter. Like, they'll have a go at us, we'll have a go at them. It's just a bit of intergenerational banter. It's a kind of a millennial versus baby boomer. The news cycle loves a fight. Oh, they love it.

And I'm sure time's gone by when there wasn't even names for generations. Oh, yeah. They were always having a go at the younger ones, and the younger ones having a go at the older ones. Well, there's a book out that examines relationships for young people, women more particularly. But apparently it's baby boomers and the older generations that are making you single if you're young.

How? And unhappy in relationships. Because older people expect, like your parents, expect you to be the same as them relationship-wise. They expect you in your 20s to meet the person that you're going to marry and spend the rest of your life with or go through a horrendous divorce in your late 40s. Sure.

Or early 30s. Maybe some of these boomers probably shouldn't be casting judgment advice or, you know, a relationship judgment on you. Back in the day and maybe even before our parents, like, the people would get into relationships and that was it. You just made it work, didn't you? If you were unhappy, you stayed in it. So in their 20s, they get into relationships and stay in long relationships.

Now, they expect the same of you. So the pressure has been put on, woman, and we've all heard it. Do you have a boyfriend yet? How's the situation? When am I going to get my grandchildren? You go home for a family Christmas and all the relatives are asking, aren't they, Megan?

Not, not. How's the career? You're correct, Bourne, actually. How's the career? How's work going? What's coming up career-wise? That might come on later on But it's always like

Babies and relationships I've only got a fur grandchild Where's the babies? So that pressure Makes people get into relationships That they're not necessarily happy in And have toxic relationships A relationship doesn't need to be toxic

But they could be in relationships that aren't healthy or happy because it saves them being constantly nagged about being in a relationship. Because what was the statistic for single people in that age group? In what age group? It was like half of millennials, wasn't it? No, no, no. Older than that, 25 to 44. Okay.

So even older than millennials, half of the people in that age group are single. Right. Don't let people pressure you because then you get divorced early 30s. She's speaking from experience. And then you get a divorce and everyone frowns upon you for that

because no one's divorced in your family. And then the minute you're divorced, they're like, any relationships on the horizon? I just got divorced last week, Gran. By the way, it never stops because then you get married and then there's the, where's the babies? And then you have one baby and they're like, well, you've got to have another baby I just got divorced last week, Gran. By the way, it never stops. Because then you get married and then there's the, where's the babies?

And then you have one baby and they're like, well, you've got to have another baby. And then you have two babies and they're like, can I have another baby? Good Lord. You guys done now? And then what happens next? It's like, when are your kids getting married? You know, then they start on at Christmas. You take over. Indy, where's your boyfriend?

Have you got a boyfriend yet? Oh, and that starts on the next generation. Yeah, it starts again. Yeah. Don't you do that to her. Oh, I never will. No, your boyfriend? Have you got a boyfriend yet? Oh, and that starts on the next generation. Yeah, it starts again. Yeah. Don't you do that to her. Oh, I never will. No, I don't want to have a boyfriend. She's got a man in her life.

You're looking right at him. Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh. God, I, yeah. Poor Indy. I should just start letting her know that I'm here if she needs me. Because she can't talk to Dad about this stuff. Yes, she can. I'm cool, Dad.

No, no, no. I'm Phil Dunphy. I was going to say, you're Phil Dunphy. Yes, you can. I'm cool dad. No, no, no. I'm Phil Dunphy. I was going to say, you're Phil Dunphy from Modern Family. He's not the cool dad. He is cool dad. No. He's cool dad. So there you go.

Just back off on the... Millennials. The expectations of people in their 20s that they have to be living up to how you did it in your 20s. Next on the show, women's voices. I'm real self-conscious of how I'm talking now. I don't know why you've become semi-British. I'm self-conscious of how I talk now. There is a type of women's voice that people find most attractive.

Is it a person? We're going to go there next. No, it's a type of voice. Oh, okay. It's a type of voice. Yeah, okay. It's a type of voice. Yeah, you guys can talk. FEM. ZM.

It's 11 to 8. That was a... That made you laugh afterwards. Man, what a ZM throwback. Good morning. Bad. So we're talking about sexy voices because a study's been done and it's found the female voice to be the most sexiest when it's low.

Men find lower tones of female voice more attractive. The University of Sussex did this study. How low are we talking? I don't know. You just sound like... That's weird, isn't it? I believe this is just across the board Are we talking? I don't know. You just sound like... That's weird, isn't it? No, no, no. I believe this is just across the board because women find men with deeper voices sexy.

Case in point, is Producer James on a microphone behind me? Oh, yeah. He does have a deep voice, doesn't he? Hit it, Jimmy. You've put me on the spot a little bit. That'll do. Sorry.

That'll do, Peg. That'll do. We've got a bloody work day to get through, mate. You can't be setting them off on the way. That's harassment, boys. Although a great way to start the day. Annie in the day and pass some time at lunch. So apparently women with lower

natural voices, like not, you don't, you can't put it on because people will be like, why are you putting on that voice? Like me, you sounded a bit weird before.

Did I? You sounded like Helen Clark. I'm not doing that again. Like how low? Like I don't think mine's real high, but I don't think it's low. It's like mid. Yours would be mid, wouldn't it? Okay. So, average sexy.

I looked up actresses with husky voices. But then huskies, is that, to me, it's kind of the same. Like Emma Stone. I googled actresses or celebrities with deep voices. Miley Cyrus. Yes, she's on the list. Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson's

also on the list. Sometimes I think, because I love Miley, but then sometimes I think she's just had a few too many packs of Paul Mauls, you know? That's what, they talked to a well-known

British voiceover woman and she said that's all people ask her. Had a hard night. She's got a Husky voice and it does. Right. Sounds like she's had

a blowout on the Durries. So we've decided, is this a competition or is this just an experiment? It's just a panel. We're just doing our own small sump size. Okay. But so how do you want to run this? Because we've got some females. We've got one, two, three, four, five, six females on hold.

Okay. I don't want them to put on, because they can hear us when they're on hold, right? Yeah. I don't want them to put on a deep voice. No, don't put it on. I just want them to speak. Yeah, voice no i just want them to speak yeah your normal voice and their normal voice your trend what about our trends quite a bit from the internet that is just what's that hi hi but that is just because she's constantly on the season what no no it's just like a lot of not big nights isn't it vomiting in dudes' beds and stuff.

See? What? No, no, that wasn't you. Are you going to speak? You've got to speak. Okay, what do I say? What did you have for dinner last night? How do I make it sound sexy?

No, no, you don't have to. It's just natural. I had a chicken wrap. That's not bad. Okay, let's ask every female on HOD what they had for dinner last night. Okay. Okay. And don't, and don't, but don't try to be sexy. That's not bad Okay let's ask Every female on HOD What they had for dinner last night Okay Okay And don't

And don't But don't try to be sexy Just be normal You don't have to do like A call centre voice Or anything like that Just be normal Okay well let's start

Good morning Vicky Hello Okay what did you have For dinner last night I had chicken cordon bleu With pasta salad Chicken cordon bleu And a great voice

A great voice Vicky Yum dinner That's good I work in sales, so I do a lot over the phone and it really does come in handy. A voice? Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it? Do you mean to like sell to people?

Yeah, well, we sell like sheets of plastics to sign writers and that sort of thing and there have been a few comments that maybe I should moonlight on like a phone stick. Wait, God, I hope that wasn't my dad. The sound writers can't say that.

Don't let them say that for a sale, Vicky. Was one of them called Wayne? Just ignore him. It's worth it. A little bit of like sexual harassment to get you that sales bonus. Oh, Vicky. It's still out there, isn't it? It's okay.

Definitely still happening. Lisa, good morning. It's still out there, isn't it? It's definitely still happening. Lisa, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. What did you have for dinner last night, Lisa? I had a coconut curry on lemon and coconut infused rice. Jeez, everybody's having a pretty swish dinner. I know, I was having a real night.

I just had rubbish dinner last night. Well, omelette. Bloody hashtag, hashtag hello fresh. Yeah. Hashtag spawn. Working together, here's my discount code. Thank you, Lisa. Amy, what did you have for dinner last night?

Oh, hi, guys. Hi. I had some soft, beautiful wraps with some chicken, some tangy salsa, some lettuce, some cheese, and some crunchy carrots. You've really gone to lengths to explain the chicken wrap there. I had much better words than that, but you told me not to be sexy, so I had to pull it out. Oh, right. I feel like maybe we'd do a real good sexy voice.

Okay, do a sexy voice for your wraps. So last night I had some soft, beautiful wraps with some tender, moist chicken. Some tangy chocolate. Okay. She's less using your voice than using words. Descriptive words.

Thank you so much for your call there. Jen, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Wait, does that put on, Jen? That sounded a little bit like it wasn't the natural state. No, this is my natural voice. Jen.

I've had a lifetime of everyone telling me I'm in the wrong career. It sounds very breathing. I cannot believe. So you're saying men will say to you, you should be like an 0900 operator? Are there even five sex operators anymore? I don't know. Is that a thing? Pretty much.

You're like, excuse me, I have other talents other than my voice. My brain. Oh, absolutely. There's multiple talents I have. You've got a great voice if you're on hold. It's very soothing. It is soothing. There's multiple talents I have. You'd be, you've got a great voice for like, if you're on hold. It's very soothing. If you're on hold to the IRD. Yeah, well, I deal with

people a lot on the phone and I feel that sometimes some of them just ring to get their little daily dose of gin. Gin, I would like you and James to have a conversation. I think this could double up here. James, say hi to Jen.

Hello, Jen. How's it going? I'm good, James. How are you? I'm very well, thank you. Oh, my God. The bisexuals are losing it, aren't they? They're getting hit from every angle.

Wow. Thanks for your content. We've all had a daily dose of Jen. Or a ciggy or something. I think I took too much gin. I'm a little dizzy. Nikki, good morning. Good morning.

How are you? Good. What did you have for dinner last night? We just had a barbecue and corn on the cob and salad. Oh, corn on the cob on the barbecue. I love corn on the cob. This just, for me, has turned into a great segment of dinner ideas. Less about what she's eating,

more about her voice. Do people comment about your voice as well, Nikki? Sometimes. I always would have liked to have been on radio at some point in my life. She's got a great voice. Yeah. I mean, we don't have great voices,

but we made it, didn't we? By the sounds of it, if you're a woman and a guy hasn't complimented your voice or told you you should be working on a sex phone line, like, what's wrong with you? If I was a woman and no one had ever said that to me right now, I'd be like, why haven't I been sexually harassed? I just cannot believe it. I can't believe that guys would say that.

Well, I can. Sadly, I can. Ash, good morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Do you get comments on your voice as well? Yeah, I can. Ash, good morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning. Do you get comments on your voice as well? Yeah, I do. I have a large chunk of my job on the phone, and I often get creepy, guys.

Deepest. I think Ash is the deepest. Yeah, you might be the deepest. Yeah. What did you have for dinner last night, Ash? I had a Thai beef salad. A Thai beef salad. Oh, yeah, that is a bit sexy.

So I should never need to go detailed. Did you make it yourself? Yeah, I did. Did you put sesame seeds on it? I did. Good, because you can't have a Thai beef salad without sesame seeds. My question with the Thai beef salad is did you have the meat warm in it or did you pre-cook it and let it cool a little and then

add it to the salad? I cooked it and then I cooled it and then I had it later. Good. Sometimes if you're in a hurry, you hit it too hot and it wilts the lettuce. Too much. I'm more focused on her voice. You guys are just worried about the food. Well, I've said this has been mostly about the food for me.

And I think women with nice voices have heard enough from males about their voices, to be totally honest. I'm happy to talk Thai beef salad. Thanks for your call, Ash. Friday Flashback. Thanks, Anya. Welcome to the show, Fleeche Morning, Megan. Friday Flashback. Thanks, Anya. Welcome to the show. Fleets for Morning Megan.

It's a Friday tradition. Friday Flashback. As we warm up for Friday jams, kicking those off at 9 o'clock. Now, the rules for Friday Flashback are it's got to be a song that's at least 10 years old. At least. At least. It's got to be a banger. So this year, because it's 2019, we can go back

to 2009, which was a huge year for pop music. Great year. Great. There are some... It was a great vintage. The... Yeah. Elements were right. I've seen the list. This was, I believe, 2009 was Taylor Swift's first year as well. Love Story. Love Story was

one of the biggest songs of the year. Right. This, today though, Friday flashback, Megan and I were discussing this before you arrived at Workborn and I settled on the song and then Caitlin doesn't like it. Caitlin thinks it's a downer.

She said it's my own funeral. This is the biggest mistake of your career. If you hadn't done the song, I 100% would have. I fully back this. Great song. So in 2009, this artist was singing at a bar. Bradley Cooper comes in, sees her perform,

and basically takes her to stardom. What was that line he said a million times during the press for that movie? No, she did. There was 100 people in the room, and 99 don't believe in you. You just need one to believe you or something like that. That's right. Exactly. Well, Bradley Cooper believed in her and she brought out the album Fame in 2009.

The Fame. The Fame. Huge. So obviously there were a lot of songs from that album that we can do for Friday Flashback. And then he was like, well, that's music taken care of. Time to star in The Hangover. Pretty much. So this song that I'm going to play from Lady Gaga

portrays her struggles in her quest for fame as well as balancing success and love. I love when they describe pop songs. Yeah. You're like, oh, okay. Yeah. That's what it's about. Today's Friday flashback.

And the first one for 2019 is Lady Gaga, Paparazzi. On CDM. On CDM. So magical, we'd be so fantastical Leather and jeans, garage glamorous Not sure what it means, but this photo of us It don't have a price, ready for those flashing lights Cause you know that baby I I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until

you love me Papa paparazzi Baby there's no other superstar you know that I'll be Your papa paparazzi Promise I'll be kind

But I won't stop until that boy is mine Baby, you'll be famous Chase you down until you love me Papa, paparazzi Lady Gaga, it's your Friday flashback on ZM Paparazzi. Eight past eight. What's the feedback like? Don't care.

Varied. So many great songs in 2009, Fletch, and you choose this dud. If you don't like that song, we can't be friends. Okay, do you know the song I wanted to choose? Vaughan wouldn't let me because he wants to do it. And I let you. Dibs, next week. It's happening, baby.

Don't miss it. Oh, Vaughan's been waiting to hear this song. For like five years. When we first started doing Friday Flashback, I was like, how many years do I have to wait Till this song So I was like Five years I was like

Shit Well the time's finally here Oh my god I've been waiting Next week Next week In fact it's a goal It's kept me in my job

So after next week What is it What's going to keep you In the job God knows Probably the paycheck That you need to pay for living. That's right.

Yeah, family. Yeah. Someone said, happy new year. But Boo, who chose that? I thought Friday Flashback had to be upbeat. That made me want to reach for a gin. What a negativity. That was upbeat.

Somebody else said, yas, Fletch. Somebody else said, I realised this. I just realised the tragedy of this song not being on my playlist. So there's a couple of positives. Someone said, I'm singing along, but only because back in 2009, you hammered the song into my brain. I would class this as a clanger, not a banger. Right.

Someone said, it's great that Gaga now finally qualifies for Friday flashbacks. Someone described your pic as dusty. And somebody else said, this song is as much of a banger as a double cheese sizzler. It's not. They're not only calling you out, but they're all calling out sizzlers as well. Well, they like a traditional sausage.

They like a traditional sausage. Some of us just like a cheap sausage. We had fun, didn't we, Fletch? We did have fun. And that's all that matters. Now, Vaughn's found a list online, and I don't like this list. I don't want to do this. I think it's stupid.

I think it's a stupid list. I read it. I was like, this is going to be interesting. But then I read it. I was like, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Totally agreed. Sometimes you're on a news site and it's like five things or six things. You're like, okay.

And you're like, who's writing this stuff? I'm related to this. I don't get why you're like... I'm totally for this. There's nine things you should never touch if you're at somebody else's house. And there's no rule book. You just know. This is on an Australian website.

Number one, they're children. Like you shouldn't discipline other people. Not in a creepy way, but you shouldn't discipline other people's children. Like, even if... You did this recently. Yeah, but they were related to me. It doesn't count if they're nieces and nephews. You told off your nephew.

Oh, I tell everybody off. Okay. I want it to be fun, Uncle, but I'm quickly becoming grumpy. Right, okay. Because what else is on this list? Their special chair. Now, this could be a else is on this list? Their special chair. Now, this could be a lazy boy. This could be their computer chair.

Any chair that has a setting. You shouldn't change the settings to set you, to fit you. Right. Don't sit in it. Because did you ever, like, go around to your friends for dinner or, like, you go around to someone's place for dinner

but then you accidentally sit in their chair at the dinner table? Yeah. Yes, you know, people have their regular chair, don't they? My dad gets real thrown when people do that to him and I just like watching it happen. But that's why I always say, oh, where should we sit? And they say anywhere.

I hate that because you are going to sit in the wrong spot. That's somebody's spot. You don't want to take the big dog's seat. That'll really shift the power dynamic of dinner. Yeah. Number three, you shouldn't touch their underwear drawer. Oh, that's a given. This is why this list

is stupid. No, that one's a given. No one's going to touch your undies. That would be just the top drawer mostly. It's always at the top.

Yeah. The next on the list of the nine things you shouldn't touch in somebody's house is any of their cleaning equipment. You shouldn't get

to somebody's house and like if you're just waiting and you see like something's a bit dirty, don't clean it up because that's... That's like saying

it's dirty in your house. Yeah, that's like saying man, your house is so grubby. I'm just going to... I'm going to take it upon myself to better you as a person by cleaning up. Unless you're Marie Kondo

and you've been invited to clean somebody's house. Yeah, right. Touch away. Their flash ice cream is the next on the list. You shouldn't help yourself to nice ice cream.

Just ordinary two-litre tub. Okay, right. If they've got like one in a small pottle, don't help yourself to somebody else's pottle ice cream. The next on the list, their en suite. Oh, no. Could not agree more. The en suite is not a bathroom. But I've been at a party at your house and used the en suite.

Was the other bathroom being used? Yep. I think so. No nice it was just nicer that one yeah that's why you're not a modern in there the other one had a child as a child and visit a free area it has like personal items in there yeah i would unless the toilet was in use and someone said, oh, use the en suite. Even then I'd be like, you sure? I don't like using en suites. It's an extension of the bedroom. Yeah. Yeah. The next on the list of things you shouldn't touch in people's house, their medicine cabinet.

You shouldn't help yourself if you've got like a headache or you want to use something. You should ask them to get it rather than going in. Pop a couple of their Ritalin. But that's what I'm saying is you might see in there something that they don't want you to see. Yeah. So you should always ask so they can fetch it for you. Oh, yeah, right.

Which is fair enough. If you went to my mum's house and went into her medicine cabinet, you'd just see a bunch of, like, stuff from 2004. From her Thailand show. And they say it's all good still. I'm like, I don't think it is.

You were saying in Thailand they've cracked down on that. Yeah. On your last holiday. Did you try to buy some medicines or something? Well, they threw me under the bus. Hey, Vaughn, you were saying in Thailand, they just don't loosely throw out prescription medication

for anybody who wants to have a cheap cat anymore. Yeah. Not that I tried, but I heard. You're the one making yourself say. No, my wife wanted to refill her prescription. Right. And she went in with her passport and the pill bottle. Yeah.

Because we're like, it's Thailand, it's loose ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like last time they were there, they were just like throwing Valium in your face as you walked past. And they were like, oh no, we don't do that anymore. And I was like, like Copenhagen? No, we didn't try and cope.

Oh, right, okay. The next thing you shouldn't touch in somebody else's house, their music streaming. You shouldn't. in somebody else's house Their music streaming You shouldn't Oh I hate that Oh don't interfere with that Don't fiddle with their playlist There's algorithms

If someone house sits I'm like I just make a guest Netflix account Because I don't want to log back into Netflix And someone's halfway through Some crappy show It's like do you want to continue watching I'm like ooh

Now I can see it And they never disappear And now it's a disgusting thing. Yeah. The continue watching never disappears. If I start watching a show, I'm like, man, that was terrible. And I'm constantly reminded of the bad choice I made. You need to be able to delete it.

Yeah, it'd be great if you could click it and be like, remove from everything. And the final thing on the list of the nine things in other people's houses you shouldn't touch is their liquor. Oh, yeah, that's fair enough.'t touch is their liquor. Oh yeah, that's fair enough. Unless you've been told. Unless you've been told. Yeah, unless you've been told.

But you never open a bottle and you never finish a bottle. That's the rule. Well, just like a centimetre of champagne, do you? I would,

if it was like a really nice looking scotch or something, I'd Google to see how much the bottle costs too. Oh right, okay. So if it's a lot,

you don't drink it. If it's a lot, you do drink it. Well, I would, but I wouldn't want against anybody drinking any of my nice scotch, yeah. Sure. So if it's a lot, you don't drink it. If it's a lot, you do drink it. Well, I would. I wouldn't want to against anybody drinking any of my nice scotch. Sure. So there you go.

Somebody just messaged in saying you can remove, continue watching shows if you log on. This is on Netflix. We were just talking about how you make a poor choice and then it haunts you forever. That you can, if you log on to your Netflix account on a browser, then go to viewing history, you can delete it and it will be gone from your continue watching list.

But you can't find it. So that's also a way, I guess, of watching a show without your partner or getting ahead and then going into your viewing history and deleting that you've watched it and then it will make it look like it hasn't. Good idea. So I guess that's under account. I haven't found where to find the viewing history yet. But once you're in there, you're away laughing.

I have something that I'd like to question you guys about. Like, is this okay? Okay. Because yesterday, watching Netflix, funnily enough, and it was evening. I can't remember what time. But we were sitting there and I noticed I could smell gas. So I brought it up and everyone's like, yeah, okay, we can smell gas too.

Do you have a gas stove? We have gas water. Oh, yep. So there is gas. The big bottles out the back. Yeah. So we were like, oh my God, okay, well, let's go. So we checked the oven.

We checked the LPG bottles out the back. How did you check it? Did you just put your face next to the oven and go? I just sniffed it. So I find if you get a lighter it's really good for burning it off well it's very immediate

you'll know you'll know within like a half a second whether or not it was the gas from the oven and then I didn't know how to check the big bottle

so I just sniffed it and then put my ear to the thing you put soapy water around well I thought I might hear it soapy water what do you mean

get like a paintbrush get some dishwashing liquid. Yeah, and it blows them big. And that's how you know if a gas bottle's leaking. Right, okay. That's how we used to test at the service station. Can you not hear it? I put my ear to it.

I thought I'd hear it's... Oh, you might not be able to hear it, though. Well, you put your ear up to the big tank. Yeah. And you thought you'd just hear it hissing on the side. Does that not make sense? Yeah. What if you were listening to the valve, maybe?

You know, I was listening to the top bit. Oh, okay. I thought you'd just gone to the side of the... No. Right. So that was fine. Okay. But when I say we could smell gas, it was filling the air.

So we're like panicking, thinking something is wrong with our house. So that episode of The Simpsons where Sideshow Bob tries to kill Patty or Selma or whoever it is. You know how everything can relate to an episode of The Simpsons. So we went out on the balcony and looked around the neighbourhood because I'm just like, it's pungent by this point. I can smell it full on.

And it turns out looking over, our neighbour has an LPG bottle which he is rolling down his driveway. What, like a one for the barbecue? Yeah, like a one that you do like a swap or out one. Oh, yeah. Swap a bottle. So he's rolling it back and forth down the driveway,

and then he picks it up and shakes it, puts it down, rolls it back and forth some more. And it must have been leaking, right? So he's trying to get the gas out. He's so he's trying to get the gas out he's shaking it and trying to get the gas out into the air

except but rolling it down a hill just down his driveway up and down his driveway rolling metal on other metal yeah right beside a road

yeah which could spark yeah as cars are driving past smart guy your neighbour is he yeah that's not a thing though

is it if your LPG bottle's leaking, what should you do? I don't know. I don't think you should roll it up and down a hill. But how can it leak? I'd get it the hell out of my house. Was the valve faulty? I don't know.

Something was happening because it was pungent, like, to the point where we couldn't, we were going to move the car back into the driveway. We're like, let's not start the car right now. But there was cars going past in the driveway. You're sitting out there like, shit, we might be a while. We should have a cigarette. But he got to a point where we weren't going to film because we were like, he's going to blow up.

This is messed up. It seems as though a couple of months ago there was a gas bottle explosion on a boat outside your house. What is it with your neighbourhood and loose goose with the LPG tanks? So he rolled it up and down for maybe 10 minutes and then I think he decided that it was empty. So he rolled it up and down for maybe 10 minutes. And then I think he decided that it was empty. So he put it in his car.

Shut the doors and the windows. Shut the doors and the windows to take it somewhere today maybe. To swap it out for another one. He's still alive. But that's not done. You didn't hear an explosion last night or anything? No, but it wasn't there this morning when he would have left for work. So, don't know.

I don't know enough about gas and explosions and everything to consider myself any sort of an expert. But I do know a combustion engine functions on flammable gas. It just doesn't seem like a leaky gas bottle is a good thing to put in an enclosed space. No. Where there's sparks and explosions at the front. Yeah.

I mean, I know that's all sealed in. Well, that's why he rolled it outside, up and down the driveway, to get rid of the gas. Well, yeah, the gas is gone. It's at Megan's house. Meanwhile, we're like tripping out. He released it back into the wild.

I'm just glad there was no smokers around. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about Jesus and Wi-Fi. Oh, my God, that was weird. Oh, my God, cute, babe. I said Jesus and they-Fi. Oh my God, that was weird. Oh my God, cute, babe. I said Jesus and they both did that. Up there, up, down, side to side. Spectacles, testicles, while on a watch.

Father, Son, the Holy Spirit. At the same time, we're so in sync, babes. That was quite cute. I mean, we're not at all serious about it. And in this story, we go to Poland. Did you go to Poland when you were in Europe? I did. Beautiful country.

Yeah? Yeah, Krakow and Warsaw. Those are too big. Why don't people talk about those places in Poland? you don't hear too much about Poland. It's pretty cheap too. Yeah?

Well, there you go. That's the magic word when it comes to my holidays. Cheap, yeah. Just kidding. They might be expensive. So they've got a giant statue of Jesus. Huge, like Christ the Redeemer.

Except I actually think it looks better because it looks a little bit more like cartoon Jesus. Right. Like you can imagine this Jesus in a Batman cartoon. Like Batman's like, well, the Joker's got me now. There's only one person to turn to. Jesus, help me. Right. Jesus comes down and he's like, I got this Batman and takes care of it.

Well, this massive Jesus statue, when you take into account the plinth that it sits upon, plinth. How have you managed to work in the word plinth twice in one week? Yeah. I'll try to do it again before the end of the show. The coffee block it sits on. When you take into account the poof that it sits upon,

it's 52 metres tall. Now, this is taller than Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, but he's on top of a hill, so that's cheating. So that's the thing. When I saw Christ the Redeemer, I was like, when you're standing in front of it, you're like, not as tall as you think. Yeah.

Right. But it's the whole, it's on top of the hill. It's like the Sky Tower. Yep. If that was on the waterfront. It wouldn't look nearly as impressive. No. It's because it's halfway up a the hill. It's like the Sky Tower. Yep. If that was on the waterfront. It wouldn't look nearly as impressive. It's because it's halfway up a big hill. Cheating.

That it looks bigger. Oh, yeah. Okay. It's like shaving your penis. Yeah, I was about to say. They've shaved around the Sky Tower. It does make it look bigger though, Megan. It does.

And take photos from a low angle too. Because if you notice when you take photos of the Sky Tower, right low, it looks way bigger than it is. Get it from above. It's okay, but it's not the biggest you've seen. And then they're there, what are they going to do? So this Jesus statue, it was up quite high now, 52 metres

including plinth. And there you go. Done. And they were having trouble with the internet. So the local parish, the local church said, you know, we can't get a good signal here. It's too far away from the receiver. And the telecommunications company said, do you want to put a rebounder, like a repeater? That's what they were after. Do you want to put a repeater on Jesus' head?

Right, okay. No, like, you're all right. So, the local area is provided internet by a repeater placed in the crown on Jesus' head. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. For the Wi-Fi, which people probably look at porn on. The irony. I you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. For the Wi-Fi, which people probably look at porn on. The irony.

Just you to take it there. The irony, though. Yeah, you're like, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. My good God. Thank God. And the Holy Spirit.

So yeah, today's fact of the day is in Poland, Jesus has got the Wi-Fi card Fact of the day, day, day, day, day Mower bones The bones of the now extinct mower Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- rare and exclusive items. So then people come around to your house and you can be like, I've got a full set of moa. Extinct bird, hardly. Anyone's got this? I think you just leave it out. Right.

And they're like, oh, what's this? And you're like, well, I don't like to talk about it, but sinners are you've asked. Either way, you're going to come off like a rich a-hole, aren't you? Snob. So the skeletons of these birds

fetch like thousands and thousands of dollars. But the problem is that scientists who are studying the bird, but also environmental and climate data, can no longer access them to study them because these birds lived in a different time. They'll be able to tell a whole lot about the environment by their bones and what makes them up and everything. So they're kind of like all these people selling them privately

because scientists don't have enough money to bid and get as much. They can't buy them for study and for putting in museums and stuff after they're finished with them. So the Richies are like, oh, well, unless you're going to pay me millions of dollars, you can't have them. Yeah. Even for scientific purposes.

So they just sell them for more money. Which, to be totally honest, if you've got something for sale, you sell it to the highest bidder, don't you? At least you've got enough money to sell it to someone for scientific purposes. So they just sell it for more money. Which, to be totally honest, if you've got something for sale, you sell it to the highest bidder, don't you? At least you've got enough money to sell it to someone for research purposes. So what, this family's got some? Yeah, families have got them, and they're selling them on.

And it got me thinking, my family's never really had anything we shouldn't have had. Or maybe... But it's not illegal to have them. No, no, no, no, no. It's not illegal to have them. No, no.

But paleontologists, Ross Geller, are asking the government of New Zealand to make it so that they can't be sold like this because they lose track of them and then they can't study them and they're kind of important to us. Why don't they get out there and find some more? Stop being lazy.

Because paleontologist, you want to study it, but then if you find one, you're like, I did want to go to Fiji this year with the fam, so maybe I'll just sell this one on Trade Man, then we'll find another one. Yeah. Then they get involved in the business. But they want to, I was wondering, did you ever have anything in your

family that was kind of like discussed in the family but you didn't really tell anybody else about it? Oh, like that polar bear rug. I'm kidding. But there would be family... We had a family friend with a grizzly bear rug. That's terrible. We have got a red kangaroo skin.

Serious question, but kangaroos are like a dime a dozen. Are bears like, is that like an endangered bear? This was sanctioned. At the time I was like, whoa, that's cool when I was a kid, but now Are beers like, is that like an endangered beer? This was sanctioned. Because at the time I was like, whoa, that's cool when I was a kid. But now I think back and I was like, that's loose. Going all the way to Alaska to shoot a grizzly bear.

That's terrible. And now there's the rug. I haven't seen these people for years. But, yeah. Well, there'd be nannies out there with like ivory collections. I know, there would be. Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Back in the day. Because back then it was just, you know, not really questioned but now with knowing what we know and really ivory just the only person that does any good to is the elephant that it's attached to. Yeah. So we don't need, we don't really need it for anything. Yeah.

But I was wondering if anybody's got anything in their family that they're a bit like, who? Like. Yeah, Nana's got lots of furs and one that's still got, one that's still got like the fox's head on it. But my thing is. But what do you do? Because I don't wear it.

Not wearing it's not going to bring that fox back to life. And my mum's like, should I chuck it out? It seems disrespectful. Yeah, because then that's a waste. Don't kill any more foxes for their furs. But the foxes that have already died from a time where it wasn't, you know, thought about. There's no point burning that.

That's so weird that you'd go out to like a function. With a fox right here. Like you've got a fox head on your shoulder. But it was all signs of wealth, right? It was like, yeah, but I'd just turn up in a nice car or a carriage. Like, you know, I've got money, but I don't need a fox head. I'd keep turning around and be like, oh. All night. Every night it would get me. Because I can

be in a department store and mannequins get me too. Yeah. Oh, sorry. Oh, you're not real. I've just said I apologise to running into you. You're in the bathroom and you look at the mirror like, oh my god! Just me. Alright, so we'll take some calls. 0800 dials at M. You can text

as well. 9696. Yeah, what have you got in your family that's a bit like, who? You probably shouldn't have. Yeah, should you have it or what are you going to, you know, if you inherit, what are you going to do with it? Talking about those things your family probably shouldn't have, Briar, what does your family have that it probably shouldn't?

We've got a stuffed kiwi. Our endangered national bird. I don't know how we came about it, but it lives in my brother's wardrobe. Wait, he can't even display it? No, people get upset about that kind of thing. But how long ago was it acquired? I only found out about it when I was probably about 20.

So even within the family it's... Wow. I don't know where it came from or who it came from but it's real. The thing is if that was found dead like why not? I mean I wouldn't but I can imagine some people might want to.

Yeah. Because I mean let's be honest every time I've gone to a Kiwi enclosure, never bloody see them. I've never seen one. It's bloody dark. I know. Don't like it. So why not stuff a dead one

so we can at least see what they look like? And now you've got it, you can't very well chuck it out, like put it in the rubbish. Definitely not. But that is interesting, though. It's in the wardrobe because there would be a lot of shame.

Yeah. You couldn't put that on the mantelpiece, could you? Nah. I get a little bit upset. Brian, thanks for your call. Sam, what does your family have that's a bit...

My family have a stuffed kagapo and a stuffed tuatara. Not as bad as a kiwi. Do you know where it... Like, where did it come from? Well, I have an ancestor who used to be, like, involved in, like, natural research and stuff and discovered a couple of the birds, so we just assume it came from him.

Right. Right. Okay. I hope he found them dead. Up until recently, we had a pair of stuffed huia as well, which are extinct. Oh, my God. What happened to them, you said, up until recently? My granddad sold them for, I don't know how much,

a quite large amount of money. Oh my God, it would have been gone for so much. Wow. Wow. Is having any of these, is there any legality to it? No, because, I mean, the kākāpō, when they were going extinct, lots of museums sent out hunters to shoot them for specimens. So, like, Te Papa apparently has, like, a freezer full of them.

That makes sense, doesn't it? Like, humanity is so screwed. Shivers, those might disappear forever. You better go shoot one so we've got a specimen. Oh, my God. Sam, thanks for your call. Some other text messages in. Someone said I was house-sitting for a doctor once

who had a full human skeleton that was actually a human skeleton. That's creepy. Yeah. Because you can donate your body to science, right? When you die and they have a fiddle around. But then, like, what's the deal with the doctor taking home the bones at the end of it?

I mean, and I'm imagining it's from a long time ago. Yeah. Why would you want it? Quite a few stories about people having like human skeletons or bones, human bones. It's most unusual.

Very creepy. My family has an endangered giant sea turtle from the Bahamas taxidermied and passed down through generations. It has legs,

head, shell, the whole shebang. Yeah. Is it a coffee table? It hangs on my grandparents' living room wall. We've had multiple people say we probably definitely shouldn't have that. Yeah. Is it a coffee table? It hangs on my grandparents' living room wall. We've had multiple people say we

probably definitely shouldn't have that. Probably definitely. Yeah. Somebody said when granddad died going through his stuff from World War II

he had a legitimate samurai sword because he fought in the Pacific theater of war and he got it off a Japanese soldier. It was all handed

down and sorted out. My mum was like, I think we should return this, and we returned it to its original family in Japan. Oh, wow. Oh, that's cool. That's crazy that you could even trace that back. I mean, they probably have a name or a serial number or something on it, right? And you could pass it back.

Someone said, my mum inherited a whole lot of real furs from her grandmother, and the whole family was just like, what do we do with these? Because as we said before, you burn them, you're not really achieving anything. You can't wear them. Could you cut the fox head off and just say it's fake? No. I mean, you could, but I wouldn't want to. Because then you go in and

they're like, is that fur real? You'd be like, it's fake. Wink. It's like having a real Louis Vuitton bag, but being like, it's a fake. Wink. Very confusing. And mum's one still got feet Vuitton bag, but being like, it's a fake, wink. Very confusing. And mum's one's still got feet on it as well, so you'd have to cut both ends. It's got feet on it.

I know, it's grimace. Somebody asked here, dad worked in Africa for a while and came home with some jewellery for mum. Turned out it was ivory. Mum hit the roof, hit it, and dad's like,

well, if you're not going to use it, sell it. Mum's like, I'm not ivory trading! And there was a massive fight. Oh my God. And the family, and now they're like locked in a box and no one talks about it. And mum's like, I'm not over retraining. And there was a massive fight. And the family, and now they're like locked in a box and no one talks about

them. But mum every now and then still gets quite angry about it. And dad claims he had no idea what he was buying. It just looked nice. Oh my God. Somebody said, my family has a time capsule that we're not allowed to open until the year 2020. It got shut a long time ago and

no one's got any idea what's in there. You need to write down their phone number because you've said it now. We all need to know what's in that. Yeah, but I don't want to be built up for nothing. This better be good. Like, what's in it? I don't know. I don't know. Oh, a newspaper from 1980. Cool. When did they, did they know when it was buried?

Um, they don't say. Right. Might be a little while ago. My parents have got a rattlesnake head and a crystal ball. Official rattlesnake head. Is that next to the dolphin? Sounds like sort of, oh my God. What? Our family has a tiger's head.

No. It was killed after it attacked and ate a few men in a village that my family lived by. And it was killed and we inherited the head. They must have been the person that killed the man either, Tiger. And then it was... How is it in New Zealand? How did it get here? That's what I want to know, because we don't have tigers.

Where would that have been? India or Asia? Yeah, I'd say it would have been. Oh, my God. My family has a full cheetah with head attached and everything. Great, great granddad shot it. There's a photo of the day he shot it back in the 1800s. It's still here, but everyone's very, very awkward about it.

Well, if you had people come over, you'd put a towel over it, wouldn't you? What's under the towel? Don't look. Just leave it. Where are you at on the conservation scale? You're kind of like chucking plastic in the ocean, or you went off straws before it was cool? a conservation scale? You're kind of like chucking plastic in the ocean or, you know, you went off straws

before it was cold? What's your... ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. We're the two-way game of the weekend.
