Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. That's, what was that, overnight record? 24.4, Nelson. Jeez. Wow. That's, what was that, overnight record? 24.4 in Nelson. Jeez. Wow. That's a low.

Your parents would have been sleeping naked last night, Megan. No sheets. No sheets. Fan on. They're a fan each. They're nudists. They'll sleep naked anyway, won't they? Yeah. Wow. Even in winter are they? Yeah. Yeah. Just put an extra duvet on. Oh, they put the extra duvet on. Last night, no need for any duvets.

They don't have a fan, actually. They probably have to invest in one now. No, you want to be careful with your dad's big dong if he's walking to the bathroom and he gets caught in the fan. You want the Dyson bladeless. Yeah. You've got one of those, eh? Yeah, they're so good.

You are so posh when it comes to air propellant or suction. Like, you're Dicing across the range. There's two things. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The two things that you really like. Vacuum and a fan. And a fan.

Yeah. Posh. I see those fans. They're so ooh-la-la. Like, one day, Megan. How does it work? One day. I don't know.

There's got to be blades somewhere. But I like it because I, like, I can't have too much noise when I sleep. I can't have too much noise when I sleep. I can't have too much noise when I sleep. He's the princess in the pee. Good Lord. Oh, this bed's got a pee under it. Well, you know what? It's good because it's quiet.

Oh, yeah. We've got one that goes, Eee. Click, click. Eee. Oh, I don't mind that eee. I can't handle the click, click. Click, click.

Eee. Oh, fam, shut up. And just keep me cool. God, you need it at the moment, though, don't you? Oh, it's so muggy. And so the warm temperatures here continuing into this week and today as well. Great.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news headlines for story time. I'm born a Megan. Pick up, it's Storytime. Three news headlines for Storytime. Born a Megan, pick one of the following three. Headline one, woman takes shortcut to funeral home. Headline two, family blames Marie Kondo. It's a Netflix

woman. Yeah. I still haven't seen this show. I don't know, man. I think one or two episodes is enough. That's enough, yeah. It's just another one of those American reality shows where you only watch to judge people. To be like, oh, they're worse than me. Like that sort of thing. Right, but people

love that, don't they? That's kind of what we do with all reality shows. Yeah. And headline three, police station misplaces 50 semi-automatic weapons. So did the chick who went to the funeral home, did she die? No.

She crashed into it. Did she die in the crash? No, she just crashed into it. Just crashed into it. 50 automatic weapons, pretty. Let's go for some Marie Kondo. That's just some hot content right now. right now. That's hot content right now. Okay, that's the content that's going to get the clicks.

Well, we go now to America and Atlanta, where a family, after seeing the Marie Kondo on Netflix, decided to have a clean out. Okay. And as a lot of people are doing, because you know a lot of Goodwill stores, thrift stores, op shops are reporting that because of this show,

they're getting too much stuff. Too much junk. Like they're overwhelmed because everyone's cleaning their lives out because of this woman in the Netflix show. Well, a family decided they'd have a clean out and one family member in particular took it upon themselves to just take all the junk

and take it down to the thrift store. Okay. Unfortunately for this Atlanta family, one of the things that was thrown out was a childhood souvenir. It was like an old mug, a Disney mug, a Mickey mug, I believe. Yeah. And inside it was $6,500 cash. I thought you were going to say the mug itself was worth. No.

Because that's the other thing. I think people will be throwing out some stuff that's worth some money. It was like a yellow metal travel mug with a Mickey Mouse sticker on it. Did it have a lid? It had a lid, yeah, some kind of... So that's what they used for the safekeeping of the cash. But unfortunately, yeah. They were dumbasses and forgot that it was there.

Yeah. And then by the time the other family member was like, well, where's the mug? I Marie Kondered it. And they were like, well, I Marie Kondered it. She said, we don't need this crap lying around. I ask if it brings me joy and it doesn't, so I get rid of it.

Well, take the lid off. That'll spark some joy. So now that they went back to the op shop and apparently someone had bought it or it's just gone and they've tried to look at it. That's what the lady at the op shop says. Exactly. Pocket six and a half grand.

I reckon at the op shop or because it goes to the clothing bin people first day and then they distribute it, you'd find some stuff in the pocket say. Yeah. Yeah well I would be fascinated to know the actual life cycle they distribute it? You'd find some stuff in the pocket, say. Yeah. Yeah, well, I would be fascinated to know the actual life cycle of clothes

once you've put them in the clothing bin. Like, where do they go to from there? Because a lot of it gets turned into rags, doesn't it? Well, it says that,

you know, it always says, oh, this charity made a record amount of money last year off this. And you're like, well, how? like, how? Well, how? Op shops.

Yeah, yeah, but do they sell it to the op shops? Or do the op shops sell it and then cut them in on a slice of the goodies? God, that sounds like it'd be a great Vice documentary. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd watch that on Vice TV. Because, you know, hipsters love some op shop clothes. Eight minutes max, please. Yeah.

Cram as much bloody information and panning beautiful shots with depth of focus in as you can please and thank you. Well, it's not great news for us in the studio, I wouldn't think, and anyone who's maybe up very early.

Because a sleep deprived brain is more likely or is implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Oh, great. How much is sleep-deprived? Because I'm probably averaging about five hours a night at the moment. Well, don't they say if you can go to sleep within like 10 minutes or is it five minutes, then you're probably sleep-deprived?

Like if you just sit down and sit still, you're like, then you're sleep-deprived. I was sitting outside yesterday, I was lying down and the game I was playing had a 30 second break on my phone and I literally fell asleep. That's bad. I was like, I'll just shut my eyes while this 30 seconds passes. And then I woke up 10 minutes later and the kids are like, Dad, Dad, are you okay? He's not dead. Yeah. Well, that's not good news. You could get Alzheimer's.

So the study has found that excessive... Who could get Alzheimer's? You. Who's that? You can't even remember who you are. Oh, God. So the study has found that excessive amounts of a protein called tau, T-A-U, in the fluid that's in the brain and the spinal cord is more in sleep-deprived adults. So there is two proteins, and there's another one called A-beta.

A-beta? Do you say beta? Generally, when it's medical stuff, you say beta, right? Beta, yeah. That or Greek stuff. So they did a study. They revealed that sleep-deprived adults, it increased 51.5% the tau in their brains.

Well, but at least they know, right? So now they can, what can they do now to fix it? Well, I guess now they can like try and stop that protein. But then what does that protein do? Because then if they're like, we're just going to take your tau levels down and then they do and then your toenails fall off. Yeah, because you obviously need that protein.

It turns out tau was holding on our toenails. But they can reduce it down a little bit. Right. I mean, easy. Get to it. And they literally just keep taking more out and they're just tugging gently on your toenails. And then when it starts to wiggle, they're like, enough.

You've taken enough. Yeah. We've hit the Goldil tugging gently on your toenails and then when it starts to wiggle they're like enough you've taken enough yeah we've hit the Goldilocks zone of still has toenails doesn't have Alzheimer's but they have said that the amount of sleep and the quality of sleep is very important

in the middle of your life to prevent it later so yeah that's us screwed yeah oh oh well

gotta do something and that's the list of things that we probably shouldn't be doing. But then, like, when people are like, hey, got to do something, that's generally after they've been doing fun stuff, like drinking too much or smoking ciggies. It's not just after they've been working themselves and not sleeping properly. Yeah.

Oh, yeah, got to do something. I might as well be overworking myself and not taking care of myself properly. And then getting Alzheimer's, the horribly debilitating disease that slowly eats away at your brain function. Yeah. I think I might start smoking ciggies. In fact, they're too slow.

Give me some crack. Oh, my gosh. But then you've got a problem with sleep deprivation. You just can't bloody sleep. Why don't you just have a nap? There's another option. All right, nap or crack. Roll the dice.

Let's do this. News about floaties in New Zealand. Big floaties because, man, how many years would giant, because I know a few years ago the flamingo, the unicorn, the pizza slice all became pool, you know, must-haves in New Zealand. You know, something to recline on and also just have a grand pick on if you're looking luxurious. Although I've climbed onto one recently

and they're hard to balance on. So there must have been some assistance for people to get on there completely dry and have a drink in their hand. Like that must have been past the middle of a later date. And then if they're taking a selfie, they'd want to be very careful

unless they've got a waterproof phone because they could, yeah could find that off centre and flip straight in. Yeah. But those really big ones, like the six-people ones that I've seen around for like $200. Swans, big swans. So there's concern about these because of the amount of rescues

that have had to have taken place this summer from people who take them into the ocean. Yeah. And if you read that little warning on there, little instructions, it'll say this is not a life-saving device, a leisurely flotation device. They also say not to be used in the ocean. Yeah, they do.

Well, that's something that's better in a pool or a lake, isn't it? But even a lake, you could be swept out in the wind on the lake. Well, the wind could push you straight off. It's because there's a big catchment area on these really big ones. But you're not going to end up in Australia, are you? Like, worst case, you might end up in, I don't know, Turangi. Yeah, well, if we're talking big lakes. You could end up in Glen Orkey.

Exactly. Like, you know, you're going to be fine. I mean, you could end up in the Rippon Valley, the Rippon winery, if you're going on the Wanaka Lake, and that wouldn't be a bad thing. No. Maybe that's where you intended to go on your giant floaty. Sure. Help us.

We've been at sea for days. We need wine. Pinot Noir. And an antipasto platter. Immediately help us. We're dying. But they've actually had to rescue people on these giant floaties. Yes.

They've had to pull them in. Nine people were on one of them that required rescuing. And so that must have been either a really, really big one or they had overloaded a six-person one. Yeah. But also the police in Wellington are asking to report them. If you lose them, because there's been a couple blow up on Soames Island. Right.

In the middle of Wellington Harbour there. Yeah. And the police are like, well, did this have anybody on it? I'm sure that someone would have complained or at least called in. Or like their friend's missing. Yeah, my friend's missing. Yeah, maybe. Unless, you know, they told their family they were out for the day

and the three people on it got swished off by the Antero Islander so what if you lose yours just kind of report it if you lose it just ring them and let them know

not only will they do their best to get it back to you which they said and I felt that that sounded like a trap like they'll bring it round and then they'll tell you off like if they ring you

and say oh yeah we found it meet them at a secure location and send a friend yeah where they can't tell you off. Yeah. Have your friends around.

It's like when your parents want to tell you off, they have to wait till your friends go home. I think that's how the police work, eh? They can't tell you off in front of your friends. If you're on the floaties, be careful. Yeah. And if you lose them, report them missing so that they know that there wasn't a person on it

when it got washed right out to sea. All right. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Well, long hath it been tradition, driving through the Mount Vick Tunnel and giving a good old tootie-toot-toot. So there's been letters to the editor and complaints dating well back into the 60s. Oh, ever since the tunnel

started. How very annoying it was to people who walk through the tunnel that people toot when they go through. I never realised how bad it was until I ran, I did a loop like right around and ran through the tunnel. Yeah. Never again. Because of the noise.

The fumes. The fumes. The fumes. I don't know how anyone goes through there. Yeah. Like on a bike or walking. It's mad. Right.

But also the noise. It is insane. But I'll still toot. I'd take every toot as sort of a compliment to my derriere while I was running through the air. I mean, you can't really see because you're up. Yeah, you can't really claim it. Well, make it.

Make it. So, Councillor Chris Kelvey-Freeman has said it's annoying to people and wants to put signs up to dissuade people from tooting. Dissuade? Dissuade. Dissuade. So, what are the top six signs to stop people tooting

at the Mount Vic Tunnel? Number one, just do it now real quick. Get out of the way. Sure. Which means you go and you're like, and then you're like, keep driving.

Get it done early at either end of the tunnel. Number five on the list of the top six signs to stop people turning in the Mount Vic Tunnel. No one does this in the Auckland Tunnel.

Why not? Because then it'll get you to thinking, be like, oh yeah. Is it because you're going so much faster? And it's like so long, it's not really a novelty.

And it's quite big, so you don't really feel like... It doesn't echo as much. Yeah. Really, because I've not even tried. Next time I go through that Woodaview Tunnel, I'm going to lay down a toot. Try it. See how it... Have we had one in there for the long weekend group toot?

In the tunnel? Not in there. I think someone tried, but I don't know if it was reciprocated. Yeah. Someone to look forward to for Easter. Yeah. Mark it in the tunnel. I think someone tried, but I don't know if it was reciprocated. Yeah. Someone to look forward to for Easter. Yeah. Mark it in the diary. Yeah.

You want a Woodaview toot for the long weekend group toot. Number four on the list of the top six signs to stop people tooting in the Mount Vic tunnel. A sign that says, oh, you thought you'd toot, did you? Because it's cool, is it? You think you're real clever, real smart. All right, mate. One of those condescending ones where you're like, I don't want to do it anymore.

I just thought I was being funny. I don't want to do it anymore. I was just trying to have fun. I don't want to do it anymore. Number three on the list of the top six signs to stop people tooting in the Mount Vic tunnel, a sign that says, go on, do all the tooting, toot the whole way through.

Toot, toot, toot. No rules here. Please toot to your heart's content. I don't want to do it now. I don't want to. Yeah, I on, do all the tooting, toot the whole way through. Toot, toot, toot. No rules here. Please toot to your heart's content. I don't want to do it now. I don't want to. Yeah, I know, exactly. Because a sign told me I had to. Bit of reverse psychology.

Yeah, I know, and it works. Yeah. Yeah. It's like when the parents are like, no rules, and you're like, what do I do? Number two on the list of the top six signs to stop people tooting in the Mavic Tunnel are just simply a sign that says you're more attractive when you're not tooting. Oh, I'm not tooting. I don't want to be ugly.

Alright, then fine, I won't toot. I'll just be hot instead. Fine, I hope everybody's looking. Everyone's watching me drive through this tunnel. And the number one sign to stop people tooting in the Mount Vic Tunnel in Wellington are a sign that simply says someone's already tooted today,

so do you think it's cool to copy people? Be second to something? You sell out basic bitch? Is that what you wanted? That's cool. Okay. Yeah, I mean, I tooted before it was cool, but now that it's been done, sure. You are the hipster of tooting. The hipster of tooting. Really embracing that Wellington hipster culture and guilting

everybody out of tooting. That is today's top six. More 30 in that Wellington hipster culture and guilting everybody out of tooting. That is today's top six. FVM, the podcast. More 30 plus temperatures today across the country. MetService predicting Tikawiti, Taumatunui to be amongst the hottest areas today. 34 degrees forecast there today. Hamilton close behind today, 32.

Marlborough is... Hamilton is the worst, it's such a tease. It's got that big river running through it, but you're daring to swim in it. Yeah. And it's sheltered areas that are hitting the highest temperatures. Parts of Marlborough sounds 36 today, Marlborough. And areas of the Waikato, as mentioned, 32.

And the main centre is Auckland, 29 today. Wellington, 27 in the central city, but as high as 32 around Hutt Valley. No, it was hotter than that because they take the temperature out by the airport in the central city, but as high as 32 around Hutt Valley. No, it was hotter than that, because they take the temperature out by the airport, in the gully. Better news, though, for Christchurch and Dunedin,

both expecting cooler temperatures, highs of 24 today, but humidity still high. Because friend of the show, Gillian, in central Otago, she, I think it was 37 degrees on her home porch thermometer. Well, no, there's a woman in the news, I think her name's Wanda, she was quoted as being in central Otago. home porch thermometer. Well, no, there's a woman in the news. I think her name's Wanda. She was quoted as being in central Otago.

She recorded 48 degrees, but she was quick to point out that the temperature gauge was outside of her house, fully exposed to sun, and sheltered. Surrounded by black. No wind could get to it. Yeah, quoted as saying, I'm not trying to be a meteorologist. I just kept watching it and it kept going up.

Because you've got to have it in shade, right? Yeah, it's got to be a meteorologist. I just kept watching it and it kept going up. Because you've got to have it in shade, right? Yeah, it's got to be covered in shade. I mean, this is a good chat in itself. Where do you put your thermometer? No, because the temperature will be different in the shade than it will be in the sun. No, that's how they take official temperature is in one of those shady boxes.

Have you seen those? It's got a roof over it. The wind can get through. Of course it would be colder of those shady boxes. Have you seen those? It's got a roof over it. Of course it would be colder in that shady box. Well, the sun wouldn't be smashing you right in the face. But if you're walking around, it's smashing you right in the face. It's about the air temperature, not the

skin exposed to the sun temperature. This is what gets baby boomers and parents right. When they see the temperature and they're like, no, but they take that at the airport. Yeah. That's no. It's down by the river.

Even on a calm day, the wind whistles up there. It's in the shade. Yeah. But there is a warning, though, for all of us. Yes. Don't drink as much booze in these extremely high heats. Here's the problem. Alcohol interferes with the regulation

of water levels in your body. Makes you go wheeze more, basically. Yeah. For what you're drinking, you're weeing a lot. And then your body runs out of water and you're like, I better drink more, I'm thirsty.

And you drink more and it only makes your dehydration worse. And then you get the headaches, the dizziness, the confusion. And it also leaves you far more prone to heat stroke. I've never knew the breakdown of why you get dehydrated. But you do wheeze more. Way more. You break the seal,

mate. It's on. Hypervolemic shock is one of the things that can happen from dehydration in this extreme heat. Drink a lot if you are drinking. Of water. What if you have like a vodka soda water? Sure.

Is that as hydrating at the same time? It's so refreshing. Yeah. Okay. No, I don't think so. I think it just means non-alcoholics. It would have been an absolute punish it laneway yesterday because it was stinking hot.

And very humid. Very humid. Oh, God, you would have been touching so many sweaty people that gives me anxiety how many who's this warning from why

health boards oh just health right okay medical like medical professionals not just your mum right you're not gonna no one's gonna tell me

to drink less and less it's a profession I just wonder where this is coming from local mum takes break from whinging about position of meteorological temperature recording

to comment on you should be drinking more water on these hot days. Take your drink bottle. You need to keep your water intake up. You're sweating it out so quickly. So I tried something for the first time. By yourself? By myself. Yeah.

I took a bus and it was exhilarating. People thought we were like taking the Mac. Yeah. So I've been on a party bus. Everyone said, how did you get away

with being in Europe without being on a bus? Well, I went on the tube. That's the train, right? Yeah. And trams. Because I... But the bus is no? Yeah. And trams. Because... But the bus is no different here.

You just pay, get on, and it... Or is it no rails? Does that mess with you? I just felt like it was... All the pay stations, when you go into, like, the tube, the pay stations are right there. So you just pay and get on. Or you get, like, the Oyster card,

and then you just go tap, tap. It's just like. Well you do that here. But where do you even buy it from? Oh my God. And like. Anyway so. The shops.

You can look up online. Those troops like you get straight out and there's the shop that you wanted to go to. So on Friday we gave you some coins. Yeah.

And you got the bus. That was so expensive. Apparently. That's why they want you to get the card. They want you to get the card. They want you to get the card. It's an incentive.

It's a disin... Is that what you call it? A disincentive. To dissuade you. To use cash. No, dissuade is to put you off. Dissentive is to put you off. Dissincentive.

A disincentive to use cash. Yeah, it's a dissentive. Yeah, it's dissuade you from using cash. Yeah. So I went on the bus. I, like, spoke to this lady. I made friends with this lady. And then when I got off and she stayed on the bus, she waved as it drove away.

And I was like, I might never see her again. See you. Well, probably not because you don't take the bus because you're a public transport snob. And when I got off the bus, the bus driver was like, have a lovely day. I was like, I will have a lovely day. To the best of my ability, I will. It's surprising. You've heard from a lot of people.

So many people. That you weren't alone with this. And thank you to those people because I did get a lot of... Hate. Hate. What's that word? I know, I was trying to think of a nicer word than hate. Conveys when people say mean things about non-really meaningful things.

But you'd be surprised how many people also have never taken a bus. Well, I guess because you grew up in a small town in Nelson, and there is a bus service, but hardly anyone uses it because everyone's got a car. Yeah. And you move here and you just get a car, so you wouldn't need to use it. Exactly.

I've never ever experienced peak hour traffic, so I've never thought, okay, well, the bus will be easier. So, yeah. But people couldn't believe it was your first. Nice. Didn't anybody ask Sharon, like, you know, first? They're like, well, now that you've done that, Megan, you should try something I've just tried.

Do you remember we worked with that guy in up till... Cody. A couple of years ago. Had never eaten sushi. Or avocado. Or avocado sushi. And this is like a grown ass man. Yeah.

Never eaten sushi. Like how do you... Not even touched it. But if you're like in a family who just never fancied sushi, you could easily grow up and then you're just like, oh. But surely... I haven't had sushi till I left home. The concept was foreign to my folks. It was up and then you're just like, oh. But surely I haven't had sushi till I left home. The concept was foreign to my folks.

It was potatoes and then always peas and then a couple of other veg and some meat. But surely you went out and you were like, well, I'll get something for lunch. No. And it never crossed your mind to get something. If we went out for lunch, I'd be like super excited and I'd get McDonald's. Right. I'd be like, I should try something. Oh my God, I ate quarter pounder.

It just blows on like, Antoninia is quite a fussy eater. Is there anything you've never tried? Like we... Well, we had porridge. We'd never eaten porridge. I had pasta

for the first time in October. It was really lovely actually, guys. You simply must try it. But when you're a kid, you live on pasta. Even I had pasta growing up.

No, I never liked it. What about like spaghetti bolognese? Yeah, I do like Wattie's tinned spaghetti. No, no, you live on pasta. Even I had pasta growing up. No, I never liked it. What about spaghetti bolognese? Yeah, I do like Wattie's tinned spaghetti. No, no, no. Spaghetti. No, you filthy, filthy creature. From a packet you cook it in water kind of thing.

You were definitely born in the wrong era. You're like World War II is when you should have been born, like on the rations. Because I'm real tough, that's why. Yeah, yeah, real hardy. What about a cabanara? I'm still, I can't believe this. Macaroni. You were a fussy kid, so you just got nuggets every night, that's why. Yeah, yeah, real hardy. What about a cabanara? I'm still, I can't believe this. Macaroni.

You were a fussy kid, so you just got nuggets every night, eh? Yeah, it was nuggets. There's a big gap from being a kid to where you are now. I know, I'm doing this. You should have been filled with pasta. The world's my oyster now, guys. It's just really, I'm trying everything. It just blows my mind.

Yeah. Okay, well, can we take some calls? Is there something that you've never ever tried or done? Because there would be people that have never even been on a plane. Oh, yeah. Think about that. Yeah. Like, we're quite lucky.

We get to fly all the time for work. But there'd be some people that might be, like, in their 20s, just haven't flown. No. Never needed to. Just drive up to wherever they're going. I'm in a different era, but my nana never did. Yeah.

She never left the North Island. She never had grab a seat, did she, in the 70s? Well, you could grab a seat, but you'd take it home. Put it by the kitchen table. But I don't know whether it's food or just anything. Yeah. Is there something that you've never done? Like, I have never.

Like, actually, I have never. I've never been to the movies by myself. That's, like, one thing I want to do. Oh, the best. It's the best. It is the best. Who do you talk to about how the movie was? You don't need to.

Nobody. Did you like that? I just talked to myself about that. That was great. You know, you always do it when you go down the escalator. You're like, what did you think? I really loved it. I really loved it.

You know, you ate more than your fish or your popcorn. I bought the bloody popcorn. Yeah, but I bought it on the proviso that it was going to be 50-50. Why didn't you chip in then? But you can't deal with going to the movies by yourself. Nah. It's weird. But see, I'll happily do that or even a concert.

Judging me, if I just bought, I'd be like, one ticket, two. We work the best job too because you finish work, go to the movies. No one's there. Sometimes it feels like you're in a private screening. Yeah, for yourself. With 400 seats. Yeah. Anyway, this is the sort of extravagance I would have if I was truly wealthy.

So we want to hear from you right now. IHaveNever.com. What have you never done at your age? Give us a call. You can text if you can't get through 9696. I want you to complete the sentence I have never dot dot dot. Like Megan last week, you know

43 and has never Excuse me. Someone asked me if I was really 43. I was like I would say yes. Because then they'll be like you look amazing. And then forget the part where they thought you were 43 and just take the compliment. That's how I function.

I'm 63 for like 10 years. Yeah, I'm 64. Oh, my God. You look amazing. Thank you. Forget the 64 part. Take the compliment. See, that was worth it, wasn't it?

Totally. I don't know. So we want you to complete the segment. Like Megan last week, never taken the bus by herself. But now. But now you have, haven't you? You have. Do you want some text?

Yeah, sure. Somebody said, this is a pretty big deal. I'm Fijian Indian and I've never had a butter chicken. Always blows people's mind. Yeah, right. Okay. I've just never doubt. Maybe they don't need to.

That's very basic be Indian. But then you go to like a food court and it's an option, isn't it? Yeah. But there's lots of options. So many options. I know, Indian food. But then you go to like a food court and it's an option, isn't it? Yeah. But there's lots of options. There's so many options. I know, I know. Somebody said, I've never eaten

a tamarillo. There's a niche, it's a niche fruit. That's a rogue fruit. Yeah. You don't see that everywhere. If it was an apple, I would be like,

wow. Yeah. Tamarillo. And don't you see them at the supermarket and you're like, well, I'll try one. And then you see the price and you're like, well, I'll try one. And then you see the price and you're like, whoa, not today.

When are they in season? They're in season? I'm not paying that. I better just find someone with a tree. Yeah. Grace. Hi. I have never what?

I have never eaten avocado or sushi. How old are you, Grace? I'm 22. Oh, you look amazing. I understand not eating sushi, but how have you avoided eating avocado? I just, I haven't tried it, but it's like the texture that freaks me out.

I love the texture. The texture's the number one seller. People say, I was one of them that talked about avocado coconut mousse pudding thing. I was like, you're crazy. And then I tried it and I was like, I was one of them that talked about avocado coconut mousse pudding thing. I was like, you're crazy. And then I tried it and I was like, I was crazy. It's amazing.

So is it the texture of sushi as well that puts you off? No, it's the thought of eating seaweed that puts me off. But what about a California roll? Isn't that the one that's got minimal to no seaweed? Yeah, or you can get the ones... It's more just like, I don't know, the sushi thing just puts me off. Oh, the seaweed thing just puts me off sushi altogether.

Right, but you can hardly taste it. I wouldn't know. I haven't tried it. Well, I don't like sushi, so I'm like, you're not missing anything. But why don't you just try to see if you like it? Because I kind of think I just know that I won't. Are you a fussy eater though?

Yes, there's many things I haven't tried. Right, but those are the two things that blow people's minds. Yeah. Do you like Mexican food? No. Okay. Have you tried it? Yeah, I have tried Mexican food. Okay, but what have you tried it? Yeah, I have tried Mexican.

Okay, but what have you tried? Have you had a sizzling fajita platter? I don't, like when I get food, I don't get any sauces or dips or anything. You dry old, you dry old boring. I feel so bad for you. I want to swear at you is what I want to do. I was okay with that other stuff,

but now you're like anti-sauce. Grace, wait there, wait there, Grace. Monica, I have never what? I have never been down a water slide. Oh, you haven't. Oh, yeah, I love hydro slides. Monica, why? Are you scared or you've just never been to a theme park or a water park?

I've been to a theme park, but I've never actually gone down a slide. I think I'm just way too chicken. But what about like the meandering slide? You know, the curvy one. You sit on like a tyre. Never. I've never been down one of those like little kid plastic slides when I was like five but that's probably about it

okay right with water or sans water on that slide? pardon? like did that have water on it that slide? yeah a little bit so it'd be raining you're just like whoa whoa whoa whoa not too much

but you've never been down a oh that just blows my mind that just blows my mind because that's so much fun I know I know Monica wait there so many of these Oh, that just blows my mind. That just blows my mind. That's so much fun. I know, I know. Monica, wait there.

So many of these. Somebody said, I'm 47. I have never filled my own car at the petrol station. Oh, yeah, that's what my mum... I've been driving since I was 16. Never done it. Where are you going to a petrol station that... No, you go to it during... Now they do it, but there was this good 15 year period where you

couldn't get someone to come out to your car. No. My mum gets someone to take the car to fill it up. Oh, the car needs petrol. She always says. Your dad? Yeah, or anyone. Unbelievable, Ray Ray. Frances, you're 32 and you have never what? I have never travelled out of

the North Island. Never been to the South Island? You've got to go to the South Island. Never been overseas. Okay, so what out of the North Island. Never been to the South Island? You've got to go to the South Island. Never been to the South, never been overseas. Okay, and so what part of the North Island do you live in? I live in Auckland. Okay, and so what's the furthest south you've been? Have you been to Wellington? Yeah, yeah.

Okay, right. Wellington. Right, okay. And you go up there and you're like, whoa, that'll be... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I see that big stretch of water. I'm imagining you're on a horse for some reason. Whoa.

Don't swim across there, buddy. That's a long way. Is there like part of you that does want to go to the South Island or would you rather go to Australia first? Well, the thing is I'm turning, of course, 33 this year, so my goal is to go overseas. I mean, I've always wanted to go to Australia or Hawaii as kind of my first stops, but my brother lives in Christchurch, so I'd love to go down. I mean, I've always wanted to go to Australia or Hawaii as kind of my first stops,

but my brother lives in Christchurch, so I'd love to go down and see him. Have you been on a plane? Oh, yeah. My parents live in the Wairarapa, so I go down, gosh, two or three times a year. Oh, right. Okay, okay.

So you've been on a plane. It's not a fear of flying. Yeah, yeah. No. Wow, okay. I guess, yeah, I'm an early childhood teacher. I just guess, yeah, I just put family and career and stuff first. Yeah, okay, all right.

Amazing, all right. Francis, wait there. Matt, what have you never done? I've never eaten an egg. What? Come on. What about a chocolate egg? Oh, yeah, well, that's different.

I don't know, but I was just wondering if it was a shape thing or if it's... Nah, it's just the texture and the gooey and the smell. Nah, just not attractive. Have you ever had, like, egg fried rice and it's been snuck in there? No. Because they'll chuck an egg in there. I refuse to eat it. What about, like, a cake and it's got egg in it?

Yeah, I've had a cake. Like baking. I've had cakes before, but... I've had a cake. Yeah. I've never really tasted the egg in that. But you must have. Did you have egg as a kid and you were like, well, I don't like this anymore?

No, never had an egg in my life. No, Fletch doesn't have kids. How this basically works is your kid decides it hates something without ever having tried it and then just like foot down refuses to ever eat it. Oh, we were just like, it was shoved in our mouth. I know. And then your nose was out of shudder and then they chewed for you. Oh, we were just like, it was shoved in our mouth. I know, and then your nose was out and then they chewed for you.

Matt, that's incredible weight there. Craig, you're 30 and you've never what? I've never left New Zealand. Okay. You wouldn't be alone in that though.

No, there'd be a lot of people messaging in that are older that have never left the country. But you've travelled around New Zealand? I've driven from the bottom of the New South Island

all the way to the top. Okay. So you've probably seen more of the country than a lot of people have. Yeah. Have you been to the North Island, though? Yeah, I live in the North Island. Oh, you live in the North.

Oh, to the top of the South Island. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. No, well, that's... It's a big word out there. All right, some more text messages

Somebody asked This is 56 I live at Mount Monganui Never been on a plane Or left the North Island Never really intend to Wow okay I'm 44

I live in Christchurch I've never been to Queenstown And I've never eaten Any type of shellfish Good thing about Queenstown Is it's not near the sea So you shouldn't be bombarded With shellfish You can get them if youown is it's not near the sea so you shouldn't be bombarded with shellfish.

You can get them if you want them. Yeah, that's true. Oh my gosh. Somebody's shared some very full-on details of what they plan to do tonight which will be their first. That's me.

Really? Thanks for sharing. Somebody said they've never done a road trip. How do people afford it? I'm taking my first one in a couple of months. It'll only be two days long

and it's only to Taranaki. Sorry, but that, I, sorry Fletch, but I know that seems really lame. I don't know if they're apologising to you for New Plymouth. No, it's a beautiful place. Yeah. Great. You're no huge fan of roadies. You'd rather fly, wouldn't you? Yeah. You don't. He gets

impatient sitting down for that long. Well, you always get stuck behind a bloody tourist and a camper van, don't you? There's nowhere to pass. I've never had a shave with a razor. I'm 25 and my whole life I've just used hair clippers. Wow. Yeah, but do they not get a big facial hair going on? No, they just trim it down all the time.

They just have constant stuff. Oh, nothing beats a good clean razor shave. So good. That must be so annoying, though. It's just constantly growing back. Yeah. I'd have a beard, too, if I was a dude. See, that's the only reason Vaughn has a though. It's just constantly growing back. I'd have a beard, too. Somebody said that's the only reason Vaughn has a beard.

He's too lazy to shave. Oh, yeah. They're like, what do you do with your face? Yeah. I've got to have hair somewhere on my head. True. That's as bad a place as any. Better than, like, going full Sideshow Bob and blowing it out the sides.

I've never been to a live concert. I've never been to a live sports game. 42. Never been to one. You know what? Live sports games are overrated. I'd rather watch it on the TV with replays and the chips are expensive. Super expensive in real life. And the beer's warm and the wine's little bottles and yuck.

Yeah, it gets warm. Everything gets warm. And they don't do my long white raspberries. You can make everyone on this list feel better. Just like make everything sound a little bit shit. Yeah, exactly. My friend famously said, why go and see it

when you can watch the DVD? Just, fair call. Like, if you go to the Grand Canyon Cost of Fortune to helicopter, just watch it on YouTube. Somebody said,

my great grandmother's 92 has never stepped foot in the ocean. What? How do you grow up in New Zealand and never touch the ocean? I understand if you're not a huge fan But surely you go in it at some stage

Yeah So this morning I did my sort of What is it when it's every second month? Bimonthly Isn't that twice a month? Oh yeah, I don't know what every second month is Do you Every other monthly?

Every other month Every second month? Every second monthly Yep I logged on to LinkedIn Why do you even have LinkedIn? Every other monthly Every other month Every second month Every second monthly Yep I logged on to LinkedIn Why do you even have LinkedIn? Because I search Oh, I don't know

I think it's fascinating though But you've never even had another job No, I know Yeah Keep your options open though Sure So I log on And I've got a few messages in the inbox.

And one of them catches my attention. It's from Showhag Manage. Okay. Nicki Minaj's brother? I just said Minaj, but it's Manage. Oh, right. Showhag Manage. Okay.

It says, hello, sir. It's me, Showhag. And I'm immediately like, friend? Old friend? How are you doing now? He says. Okay. So then I'm like doing now? He says. Okay. So then I'm like, now?

So he has a previous measurement of my how am I doing. Yeah. He wants to know if it's got better or worse. He says, I'm a professional and experienced iTunes podcast promoter. Are you looking for iTunes podcast promotion for rank one to ten of all time? Contact me now. That would be nice for the show podcast. I know.

So I said, show hug, old friend. Great news. Permission granted for you to begin promoting the podcast. Good luck out there. Oh, what are you doing? And he said, sure, sir. I will give you all-time top rank. Sir, want to give order now?

And I said, yes, show hug. I order a number one of all time. How did this not come up in, oh, is this on Facebook? No, it's in LinkedIn chat. Oh, yeah. I was like, how did this not come up in, oh, is this on Facebook? No, it's in LinkedIn chat. Oh, yeah. I was like, how did it not come up with spam? How did it not get blocked?

Because it's not. He's going to give us a number one podcast. So I, and he says, okay, sir, for whole month, I said,

what's this whole month nonsense show hug? I said forever. Because remember before, he said forever. So he said, give me the podcast URL. So I sent him the podcast URL.

Oh God. And he said, ah, yes, I saw your podcast category comedy. And I said, you are full of flattery, show hard. He didn't say it was good. He said he saw it. Well, he said comedy. He could have danced around that. He said for every month, top rank of number one

will only cost you $200. Whoa. Whoa, whoa. My old friend. Were you expecting this to be free, Vaughn? I said, this costs money? Yes, sir. I need to boost your iTunes podcast on all social media and we'll send you email many

of new audience. I said, well, if I'm just going to pay, I could do that myself, show hug. Where did we go so wrong? Thought we were friends. Friends with the benefit of promotion. You promote the podcast, I make the podcast. Right. Batman and Robin.

Sure, one's the sidekick and one's the hero, and then in brackets, you're the sidekick. Wow. Wow. That's not a way to win friends, Warren. You're calling yourself Batman. I'm the Batman. If Show Hug and I were in the Batcave,

there's no argument over who's putting on the black cowl and who's putting on the spandexy. We haven't met Shoah. He might be Batman-esque. Meh. He's Robin at best. I said, but this symbiotic relationship makes us this unbeatable team. He said, okay, well, you let me know when you want to.

And I said, where are you going? Get back here. I want to right now. Right. And I said, what podcasts have you promoted to number one? And he said, my running work top one and will stay at number one for all time is a podcast called Hidden Brain by NPR. Now, that's National Public Radio in the US.

I clicked on it. It checks out. It is number one. Well, he just looked at the number one US. I clicked on it. It checks out. It is number one. Well, he just looked at the number one podcast. He's not responsible for that. They did cereal. I said, show hug, yelled, sea dog, congratulations. Look at you go, clever clogs.

Now, can you flick me the details of the people at NPR so I can ask them about your work with them? And he said, sure. My client's name is Shankar. Now, Shankar's the host of the Hidden Brain podcast. There's no way Shankar is running promotional side of it. No. I said, not Shankar Vedantam,

because I Googled the name of the host as well. And he said, yes, why is that? I said, holy shit, show hug, you are not going to believe this. What are you doing? But we used to work together. Oh, did you? That's a lie. Is it right?

I'm testing Showhug. I mean, he could see your LinkedIn. I'm 90% of the way there. Right, he could see your LinkedIn that you've never done anything with NPR. We've worked in podcasts. Oh, right. I said, I'll flick, because the host may used to have worked here or we've crossed paths at some stage.

I said, look, I'm going to flip them a message right now on Facebook and ask about you. And he said, okay, sir, will you now place your order? I said. He's got to get in now. Yeah, he's got to get in before you find out he's awake. I said, show hug. I've just talked to Shankar.

We've just had a 10 minute long conversation. Catch ups, then straight to business. Did you leave 10 minutes between correspondence? Oh yeah, clever. Because I got a coffee and went to a toilet and forgot I was doing this and then came back. I was like, that's right. This is what one's been doing all morning.

We've been trying to talk to him. During the show. Yeah. And I say, they say they've never heard of you. And Sho Hag says, this cannot be right. Of course, right. And I said, Sho Hag, have you been lying to me? Sho Hag's been silent.

Oh, no. I kind of want to give him $200. You can't trust people on that. I want to give him $200 too just for trying. Just to see what he'll do with it. That's what I don't know. How's Joe Hugg going to want to get paid? Oh, Bitcoin probably.

Oh, yeah. Or iTunes vouchers. Yeah. Which would be good because then he could spend those iTunes vouchers in the iTunes store to boost our podcast. Yeah. True. Although it's a free podcast, so I don't know how he'll do that.

No, but he pays to have it seen. Oh, does he? On social media. Yeah, True. Although it's a free podcast, so I don't know how we'll do that. Nobody pays to have it seen on social media. Yeah, right. Anyway, I'm not giving up hope on this guy yet. He could come through. There's a good spirit in this body. Yeah. There's a good spirit. I'm going to turn him around.

He's very entrepreneurial. He's reaching out to you, isn't he? Yeah. Well, if you see our podcast, link anywhere on social media. Show hug. Show hug, Minaj. Or manage. I haven't asked. I haven't asked.

Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. Data out of the UK, the number of Tinder-related police call-outs has more than doubled in the last three years, according to official figures. Tinder-related police call-outs. That's terrifying.

That's just the ones where people call police when something bad's happened on Tinder. And, you know, it can be, in the most extreme cases, something quite serious and violent, but most of these seem to be for fraud, where people might get taken advantage of. Someone steals something from your house. Right, right, right.

On the way out. They nick something on the way out. And we've talked about that happening before. One night stands, taking a little memento. Yeah. Or it could be something like jewellery, that kind of thing. Yeah. Or taking the TV.

Police in the UK now receive more than 20 reports a week related just to Tinder. Wow. Do you think these are like one-off offenders or do you think there's people that go on there specifically to like, I'm going to steal? Oh, you know, there are. Yeah, police say that they trawl through looking for people. Oh my God. And not just Tinder as well, other dating apps as well.

It's got to be super careful. They're going to ruin it for the people who are just trying to find love, you know? Schemers, fraudsters and narrative wells taking advantage of people. Somebody, I don't know why know if this woman called police, but a teaching assistant, she's in this article, revealed she went to police after being duped into an affair with a married father she met on Tinder. I don't know if police can help you there.

Wait, she got duped into the affair or she duped because he was married? I think she didn't know he was married. She was a teacher. Yeah. Was he the father of one of the kids in her class? Doesn't say. No, because she met him on Tinder. I was like, well, weird that her occupation has anything to do with that.

Oh, I don't know. They just mention it in the article. Yeah. I felt like it was relevant to that. Yeah, a lot of the stories were more about Ford. But what would the police do about that? Well, nothing. Nothing they could do.

You've got to stop sleeping with married men. Yeah, because it's not illegal to have an affair, is it? Isn't it? If you're married, isn't there like adultery? I don't know if it's like jail time. Is it? I don't know. I feel like it's one of those, yeah, it is, but we don't really do much about it.

We don't do anything anymore about it. Situation, yeah. You don't get stoned to death. No, no, you don't get your hands cut off. No. Not anymore. But they're saying that these stats are just what's reported. So the fact that there would be so much more,

and we hear about it all the time in swipe mares, there'd be so much that happens that people don't report because, yeah, what are the police going to do? I mean, even if your house gets broken into now, you'd probably, just for the insurance report, you're going to report it. You'd need a number. But other than that,

you wouldn't bother, would you? Nothing's going to happen. And it's also pretty embarrassing if you got scammed by somebody to admit. That's why they reckon a lot of internet fraud doesn't go reported because afterwards you look back and you're like,

that was embarrassing. How did I fall for this? Yeah, I'm not going to tell anyone this happened. No. Speaking of which, Shoahag has not yet responded right because i asked him how we can pay him he's gone quiet he's playing hard to get and i like it i'm chasing him down the rabbit hole of the internet it's the uh the heat wave of the summer

this week that we can again today what into the 30s yeah into the 30s? Yeah. Into the 30s. Now, one thing I hadn't thought too much about as myself and my wife were fairly agreeable, but I know there are people out there, and I was talking to somebody yesterday who's in a relationship for the first time in a while. It's not Caitlin. For the first time in a while, people have just assumed it was.

They had had some dramas with their partner because this was their first sort of heat wave, sleeping in the same bed, and this person's nothing on. Right. Right, they sleep naked. No, no, no. I mean, like, no duvets. They're simply using the mattress as a thing to sleep on.

Right. Yeah. I have the fan at the moment. There's no top sheet. It's just sleeping nude on the bed. You're not even having a blanket? No, maybe if it gets a little bit chilly. You might have a sheet for security.

I have to have something to cover me, to cuddle. I just put my feet under the sheet and then nothing else. Oh, just because the monsters are over your toes. Yeah, it's all about the monsters. I need something to cuddle up around my face. But the fan is on a high setting because it's like stinking hot at the moment. Yeah. But yeah, so what, they're with what, a partner for the first time.

Yeah, and so the partner, the new partner, he sleeps nude, no sheet, but will not have a fan on. What's wrong with that? He does not want to sleep with a fan on. Would rather what? Rather have the window open. Would rather be naked. I don't know about the window open situation.

Okay. But that's a good call. Maybe that was the answer. But whereas she will sleep with a summer duvet, but the fan will be on. She's sleeping with a duvet? Yeah. Oh, no.

I wasn't like, what are you wearing? It came up and she was, you know, not like a full nightie or anything, just undies. Okay, yeah. What did she, 80? No, that's what I was, I don't want everyone to think she's running cold like a full nightie or anything, just undies. Just undies. Okay, yeah. What did she, 80? No, that's what I was, I don't want everyone to think she's running cold like a lizard and she needs to keep warm. But it's, yeah, so she said the big problem is the duvet

and he's pushing it away and then she's like fan on and he'll get up and turn it off and then she'll wake up roasting. Oh, no. And she said it was their first sort of like heat wave together. Producer Caitlin, now that you've got a boyfriend, this might be news to some people, but it's not news to us. We've heard quite a bit about it. How are you finding it?

Well, because I have to have a duvet. I need the weight. I know, you need something on you. Even in summer. It's a security thing. No, I totally get it. And I also wear pyjamas, but we both. Wait a minute, you're wearing pyjamas?

Well, not like winter pyjamas. Like shorty pyjamas. Yeah we both... Wait a minute. You're wearing pyjamas? Well, not like winter pyjamas. Like shorty pyjamas? Yeah, shorty shorts. Okay, weird. But we both need the weighted... So we have a fan. If we have a little sleepover. So you have a...

I can't believe we're talking about this. This is so weird. This is good, though. I'm just laughing here so much. That early on, if you found out you were going out with someone who couldn't sleep with a fan on, that would be the same. Well, he gets nightmares from the fan sometimes. And, no, to be honest, so do I.

I wake up and I'm like, oh, my God, it's raining, or my radio's turned on or something. Well, that's understandable because it's the noise and you're not used to it. Yeah, so we have to just, if we want a good sleep. It just depends. I know it's a fan because ours goes. Oh, you've got to get a non-clicky It clicks on the left hand side

How do you get a sleep with that? Are you spooning? It's a wrong time to get into a relationship Because it's not winter Winter's the. Winter's going to be good. Winter's ultimate spurning months. Yeah.

Okay, right, but there are no real arguments over that. No. Yeah. Okay. Hey, just imagine being with someone

who couldn't sleep with a fan on because I know there's people who can't sleep with fans on. A, it's the breeze. B, it's the noise.

They're like, no, I simply couldn't sleep with a fan on. But then if you live in the middle of, like, I don't know, the suburbs,

you can have the windows open but I can't have windows open. Because I live in the city. It's too noisy. In the suburbs, there's burglars and mosquitoes. Oh, you're true. And sometimes it's a mosquito with a penchant for burglary. True. Your blood.

It's like... Yeah, you hear it around your head. Vangs flies out. You're like, oh, it didn't bite me. And then you're like, oh, it didn't bite me and then you're like, bloody TV's gone. What? How'd it do that?

Yeah. Was that mosquito, wasn't it? I believe so. It was the only noise I heard all night. Sure. So what I'd like to know

if anyone's running at odds with their partner during this heat wave. Right. If there's any contentious night time. Right. You're at odds with them.

I'm just trying to think about a word. I'm not talking about having sex because it's far too hot and sweaty for that at the moment. Put that off till May. Put that off till May. May. Good Lord. It's too warm to think about. Perhaps a late April.

When's Anzac Day? Sometimes it's cold on Anzac Day when you go to the door and serve. Book it in for Easter, Vaughn. Book me in for an Easter weekend. And a hiatus to Easter. Easter sexy time. It's a sexual hibernation.

Right, okay. For a big bear like me, there's no, you can't do it in summer. It's too sweaty. It's too sweaty. So you want to hear from people that are

having fights or they're at odds. They're at odds with their partner. Their sleeping arrangements. Sleeping arrangements, yes, right, during the heat wave. F're at odds with their partner. Their sleeping arrangements. Sleeping arrangements. Yes, right. Fights over the fan.

Yes. Fights over the window. What speed, by the way? What speed do you have the fan on? Oh, we argue over the speed. I'm a one. Out of a possible three. I went to a seven last night.

Out of a possible ten. Now, is ten? Ten's most powerful. Yeah, ten's most powerful. You almost went to a three quarters. That would be above a two, in between a two and a three on a standard fan setting. I've got three. Even when you go up to number two, it's like...

No, you've got to have it on one. It's the calming speed. Yeah. All right, well, 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Are you at odds with your partner in the bedroom during this heatwave? We are talking about during this heat wave if you're at odds with your bed fellow. Yeah, that's a good way

to put it. The partner that you share a bed with. Because some people anti-fan. Some people cannot do it. I can't believe anti-fan is. I know.

I'm having my mind blown. Some duvet, some not. Some window open. No, the mozzies. Shut the window. I know. I want to have the window open but Andrew's like,

no, the mozzies. Oh, I saw these things I want to have the window open, but Andrew's like, no, the mozzies. Oh, I saw these things at the weekend you can get for your windows. They're magnetic. So you would need to have aluminium window frames, but you stick it over and it's like a mesh. Oh, yeah. Why don't you just, you could sleep with a mozzie nest over your bed. What if?

Oh, yes, that's exotic. Yeah, but then you're in the islands. What if something that like, if anything, you open the window, and then if anything flies through, or a hand or anything, it just electrocutes the shit out of it. Yes, laser force fields. So then if I get a burglar, it zaps them too. But you'd get up in the morning and shut the window? No, it's programmed to their DNA.

Oh, right. If we're inventing technology, why stop there? Yeah. Okay, fair call. All the way. So we want to know how you're at odds with your partner during this heat wave. Somebody said, last night my husband had been pestering me for a week that we hadn't had any sexy times.

Okay, yeah. Pestering. That's such a romantic way. If I ever mentioned it, it would be, come on, come on. Stop pestering me. Which is sexy. Pretty pestering me. I don't know, how does it go for you? Pretty much like that. So I actually said to him, all right,

but we've got to work on the cooling system. So we had two fans on facing us during our antics in the boudoir. And one was at the bottom of the bed and it just shot a cool breeze up my butthole the whole time. They said it was very distracting. They were trying to enjoy it. But they just had a cool breeze up my butthole the whole time. They said it was very distracting. They were trying to enjoy it, but they just had a cool breeze tapping in their butthole. Okay, thank you.

Lovely, Bourne, lovely. Now I want to try. Taylor, good morning. Hi. How was your sleep last night? Well, I slept alone again. So what's the deal with your partner then? Well, he's actually my husband.

We're actually newlyweds, so it's even more distance. It's so weird. But he sleeps on the couch every single night because he won't even spoon or cuddle anything with me. I can't even put my leg over him when it's in hot, like, any heat in any way. So why? Is it because he wants, like, any heat in any way. So why, is it because he wants a fan and you don't? Yeah, so he steals the fan

and goes to the couch and sleeps there. Couches are always so hot. Yeah, yeah. Cuddles, yeah, and you're hot. I'd rather sleep on a bed or, yeah, the floor even, the carpet. Do you, like, roll over in your sleep and give him cuddles? Yeah, I do. I tuck my leg over him and he just, yeah, the floor even, the carpet. Do you, like, roll over in your sleep and give him cuddles?

Yeah, I do. No. Like, I tuck my leg over him, and he just, like, literally picks it up and puts it over. Yes. Handled. No. So good. All right, guys.

Stick together. Thanks, you cool, Taylor. Troy, how's it going for you during this heat wave? Oh, I'm all right, mate. I don't seem to struggle too much. I usually just sleep on the floor. Okay. I get a moist towel, chuck that down on a sheet and sleep on the moist towel.

And then usually my missus will wake up at 3am and get panicky because she thinks I've run away somewhere. But you're simply on the floor on a moist towel. I'm on the moist towel on the floor, mate. Did you ever squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the moist towel so it feels like you're actually inside a K a moist towel. I'm on the moist towel on the floor. But did you ever squeeze a bit of lemon juice on the moist towel so it feels like you're actually inside a KFC moist towelette? Yeah, and then when you wake up, you're fresh and you're ready to go.

But is that not doing something to the carpet or the mattress? Is that not leaving that damp and yuck? No, you put a bit of plastic down first, mate. Plastic? You put a bit of plastic down? You're a kid with plastic sheets. Yeah, you get a plastic sheet plastic down first, mate. Plastic? Put a bit of plastic down? You're a kid with plastic sheets. Yeah.

Yeah, you get a plastic sheet, wet towel on top, a bit of lemon by the sounds of it as well. Yeah. Wow. Okay, thanks. You're cool. Troy, Chris. Okay, so I'm originally from Perth,

so I don't find this hot. Really? So I sleep with a duvet, but what we worked out is, so the other half's originally a pom and he finds it really hot. So he would roll over the duvet and then I'd be trying to tug at it because I'm cold. So we've come up with a solution. So I have the whole duvet on my side.

He doesn't sleep with anything on top, but he has like a little fan going on his side. And if he has the fan going on his side, then I've got headphones or earplugs. Really? So you can't deal with a fan at all? No. Honestly, divorce sounds like less admin.

Chris, thanks for your call Some other text messages I'm menopausal at the moment As well as dealing with a heatwave So I have got a fan on full force Duvet flung off Window open as well Husband goes to bed in full pyjamas

And often leaves because it's so cold in our room Full pyjamas He must be quite skinny Do you think that like... And guys run a lot hotter anyway than women do. Somebody else said, my partner puts a beach towel down on his side of the bed because he sweats so much and sleeps with nothing on

and has a fan on him like he's in the Bahamas. And meanwhile, I'm on my side of the bed, otherwise known as Antarctica, trying to pull a duvet up over my face so I'm not blasted with the polar winds. Somebody said, oh, my partner's currently overseas in Prague where it's snowing at the moment. She messages me saying, I wish you were here so we could have a little cuddle and stay warm. And last night I said to her, if you were here, you wouldn't even be touching me. It's so bloody hot. I would maybe put one hand

on your hip for five minutes and then peel it off and we would not touch again till morning. Not really the intimate month, is it? It's not. No. We're talking September? Late September babies? Yeah. Just know that your parents

went through a lot to have you. Fact of the day! Day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the 1988 Korean Olympics held in Seoul. Okay. In South Korea. By the way, just a Korean side fact. Korean fan death is a thing, which is when we were talking about

sleeping with the fan on in the heat. There's a superstition that in Korea, if you sleep with the fan on and the door shut, you die. So nobody does. Everyone just like melts in the heat. Fan including air conditioning, I believe. Someone said they live there.

Just try it. You won't die. It's like saying Candyman into a mirror three times. You're like, piece of cake, I'll sleep with the fan on. You turn on your... No, I'm not going to do it. But somebody lived there and they messaged and saying all these people were melting and they were sleeping with a fan on

and every morning they were like, oh my God, you're alive. What? You'd think after a couple of weeks they might think it was a bit, you know. What do they think happens? I don't know, blows your spirit away or some nonsense. Like my superstition. It's just kind of one person died because they died, but the fan was on, so the fan was to blame.

But this is about the opening ceremony of the Olympics held in Seoul. Okay. Part of the opening ceremony, stadium-based opening ceremony, was the releasing of hundreds of white doves. Hundreds of white doves were released. They circled the stadium, and everyone was like,

whoa, beautiful. The dove, the sign of peace internationally. Does this involve the death of doves? Correct. The doves... Did they get sucked into fans? They turned. They thought, well, we're doves.

We've flown around. We are getting a little bit tired. I know where we'll land. That giant satellite dish looking thing. Yes. So they landed upon the Olympic torch, which burns for the entire ceremony of the Olympics. There's actually video of this.

Mind you, it's really hard to find. Right. Because I saw this yesterday and I tried to find it. And look at what the screen cap said on YouTube. Video unavailable. This video contains content from the International Olympic Committee who has blocked this from display on this website or application. They're trying to cover up the past.

They don't want the video, so I had to dig deeper. And I did find a video of it. These doves landed on the big dish before it got lit. So in the practice, they released the doves and no one was in the stadium. So they flew around, landed in different parts of the stadium,

and then the guy, I don't know, he ushered the doves back. However that works. I don't understand doves. However, when the stadium was full of people, noise everywhere, bright lights freaking out, they went for the most isolated place, which is the place that is about to be engulfed in flames. Oh my god. So there's

footage of the doves all sitting in the Olympic torch. I would say they released hundreds. I'd say there's a good 50 on this torch. And how the torch was lit, three people, each with their own small Olympic torches, stood on an elevator platform

that went up underneath the Olympic torch. And you see them holding up the torches, approaching the thing, and there's just doves there. And everyone's like, and they're just getting closer and closer. The people with the torches, no idea doves are there.

All they've been told to do is lean back and it will ignite. Yeah. So you can actually see the elevator slowing, and apparently they were like, let's just slow this down. Hopefully those birds will fly away. They got to the top. The world's watching.

The birds didn't fly away. Up in flames it goes, and it's pretty intense. And like a couple of them try to fly away, but they're on fire. Oh, my God. They're on fire. And they could not get the smell of cooked dove out of the stadium

during the entire Olympics. Like track and field people are running. Yeah. And they're like, what's that? Smells like burning hair. Because when you cook chickens

or any poultry, you take all the feathers off them. It's the feathers that stink when they burn. So what did it smell like? Feathers and chicken? Yeah. I'd imagine. Closest to... Just real grim. Right. It apparently made competing in the early days of the Olympics a little bit hard.

There's a smell of death. Oh my god, that's horrific. And they just leave the torch going. You imagine after the 21 days or whatever of the Olympics, there wasn't a lot left in the torch pile. No, no. So today's... What a grim fact of the day.

But interesting. During the opening ceremony of the 88th Seoul Olympics in Korea, 2,400 doves, by the way, not 240 as I thought, 2,400 doves were released. And many of them met a grisly end in the Olympic torch. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. You know, with it being so hot outside, no better time to lock the doors and watch some Netflix. Yeah, sure. I've got a recommendation.

I've recommended this. You guys haven't watched it. Caitlin and intern Anya have watched it and agree with me that it's crazy cuckoo bananas. Okay. Is that your official rating? That is my official rating. Crazy cuckoo bananas.

Okay. Out of five. Right. And it's called Ab rating. Crazy cuckoo bananas. Okay. Out of five. Right. And it's called Abducted in Plain Sight. Okay. And it is the craziest story of kidnapping, brainwashing, that you may ever see. This is how crazy it was.

True crime? True story. True story. Okay. From the 70s. And is it a one-off special? It's a one-off. It's a movie.

It's a documentary. Okay. One's a movie. It's a documentary. One and a half hours long. This is how crazy it is. 20 minutes in, I need to go to the toilet. I paused there. I was like, how are we only 20 minutes into this?

It feels like so much has happened. What could possibly happen in the remaining one hour 10? And it all happens. Wow, okay. It's insane. Is it a story that you would know? I'd never heard of it.

Okay. I'd never heard of it. Can you tell us without giving too much away? A synopsis. A girl when she's young is abducted by someone that the family trusted 100%. Right. And then the string of crazy events that happened after it. And then you find out what happened before the abduction as well%. Right. And then the string of crazy events that happened after it. And then you find out what happened before the abduction as well.

Right. Why the family trusted him and why they let their 12-year-old go with this. Right, dude. It's crazy. Right. It's nuts. Producer Kayleen, you've seen this. You'd back up.

She was messaging me yesterday being like, oh, you just didn't even quite do it justice of just how crazy it is. No, I know. And like it was the first program I've been able to watch in a while where I didn't fall asleep. Because like documentaries can be like a bit like boring. She's like, snore. But I was like.

That's not a great review for documentaries on a whole. No, I know. What about Fire Festival? You didn't fall asleep during that. I nearly did. That was really. Yeah. She was just about to nod? You didn't fall asleep during that. I nearly did. That shit was really. Yeah. She was just about to nod off and then Andy,

Andy said what do you do for a chocolate of Evian water and she was like, I'm awake. So what now? But she, oh my God, yeah. You just have to go watch it because I don't want to give anything away. But I was, I put it on my Instagram yesterday and I was just like, this is crazy.

And the amount of people that were like, the parents like it's just no no no no no no no that doesn't Spoilers? No no no that's not a spoiler at all

The parents are involved They could be angry at the parents for any number of reasons Fletch Yeah okay Or not even angry

at the parents I'm gonna need to watch this tonight so people don't spoil anything It's honestly legit It's nuts It's nuts What the hell This is the trouble with Netflix is we don't all watch. It's honestly legit. It's nuts. It's nuts.

What the hell. This is the trouble with Netflix is we don't all watch things at the same time. I know, yeah. It's not like it's on. So we can't talk about it

because you might spoil it for someone. Tornado me. Are you saying there should be an introduced etiquette that after however many weeks of release

it becomes open slather? Yeah, and also it's like when it first comes out everyone's like this is good, everyone watch it tonight so we can all talk about it tomorrow. It's almost like we need a Netflix-type service that doesn't let us choose what we watch

rather than it's scheduled programming. Yeah. Right, and why everybody tunes into it or something. So it has like a bookmark time, so it's like 7.30 on this day. Is this thing's going to be on? Yeah. And then you can talk about it. That would be great, actually.

And then if that's not your cup of tea, there might be another option. Right. I'm imagining. I want it at the same time. Like, you know how if you're in a boat and you're going down a channel, you're kind of channeled to that, but there might be another channel. You could call them channels. Okay, yeah, right.

That's a great idea. Call them channels. How would this pay for itself? Okay, now you've got me. Because Netflix is a subscription fee. But you don't want to have to pay for something that you don't want to watch. What if this is nuts?

What if during the shows on these channels, there were other tiny shows that told you to buy things? Now, the things that were for sale were paid to have these tiny shows. This sounds nuts. This sounds like it would drive people away to subscription services. Yeah, no, you're right.

Which is what we're on at the moment. Why would you sit through, because I'm thinking to keep it a fly, quick finances in my head, you'd need these little mini shows. You'd need at least four minutes of them in a row. Yeah, right, okay. People aren't going to sit through that. But that's a good time to go wheeze.

You have to pause Netflix, don't you? And then at least we can all talk about it at the same time the next day. Yes. This is genius. I think we've stumbled across something here. We have, really. These tiny, these tiny shows. Would it need to be a fresh one every time or could you

repeat the same one to the point where you hear it and immediately associate that tiny show with a product? It's possible, Vaughn. It is, yeah. It all adds up. Ads.

It all adds up. We could call them ads rather than tiny shows that would be confusing for people. We should try a tiny show right now. Okay. Fletch. Vaugh be confusing for people. We should try a tiny show right now. Okay. Fletch. Vaughn.

And Megan. The podcast. So I'm just reading this story. I'm about to tell you what I'm laughing at. In Tennessee there is a state

representative who is proposing this as a measure. So it hasn't been brought in. He's proposing this idea that there should be a dress code on parents when they do school drop-offs. And I guess pick-ups. Right.

So they need to be dressed appropriately. What are parents wearing? And Tennessee at the moment, it's winter. It's winter. Yeah. So they said that the way that parents dress is not always appropriate. People are wearing next to nothing. People are wearing shirts or tattoos with expletives

on them. Right. They're coming onto school grounds. I saw a Home D bracelet. Did you? At a pick-up once. Okay. You can't take that off, though. Yeah, but I put a pair of pants over it all. A sock.

A sock. Yeah, but you put a sock over it, you still see it. Why? If it was me personally, my reason would be I wouldn't want other parents to see it and then say in front of their kids that person was wearing a home detention bracelet and

then that kid gets teased the next day at school by the kids all talking about the fact that the mum's on. You've got to think about the part you've

got to think about how things get around. It's what you need. You just don't talk about people in front of your kids because they're little spongies with their ears.

Yeah right. I mean you shouldn't probably talk about people behind their back anyway. The bigger list said, oh, everyone up on their ivory tower. Wah, wah, we all knew it. But the principal said

he spoke to a lady. They came into her office wearing sleepwear. Or pyjamas. So this gets better. With her sleepwear on, with some of her body parts hanging out. Oh, look, we've all been to Westfield. We've seen that in public before, haven't we? You've got children coming down the hallway

and they can possibly see this. That's a quote. Wow. Like a nip or a butt crack, eh? That's like one of the two there that they're talking about. There'd definitely be parents that do the drop-off in sleepwear. Oh, yeah, but you don't get out of the car. Yeah, you don't get out of the car.

And also, like, it's hot at the moment. You're wearing a singlet top or whatever. I know. Back to school, it's going to be, some parents will be falling asleep in the paddling pool and be like, shit, it's 3 o'clock. Running down. Like a boob might fall out if you're running in a not very supportive caney.

Or dad might have to boost down in his speedos and everyone sees dad's hairy bum cheek and a ball that comes around. But you do the school pick-ups sometimes. Do you ever see anything inappropriate? Or have you ever been asked to? Well, I always like to look my Sunday best. Right, okay.

Well, you don't know who's going to be there, you know. You want to stake your climb. It's, you know, been quite well to do. God, no. See, if I put jam one time, I got up there and I was like, well, this is at to do. God, no. One time I got up there and I was like, well, this is at the last school where I walked. I got up there and I was like, I don't have footwear on. And then I hear a kid getting told off for not having footwear on.

I'm like, yeah, bloody kids with no footwear on. Trying to hide my feet behind like a tree, being like, this is a nice tree for a foot shade, but the rest of me just wants to be out and about. Yeah, no, I don't know. I've never worn, like, togs. Never say never, though. You ever seen PJs?

Anyone rock up in PJs? I've seen some pants that I would say would be pajama pants. Yeah, right. Maybe someone's hot mum would do a bikini pick-up after the beach on the way home. Bikini top and, like, denim shorts or something. Hot mum and hot dad. Yeah.

As long as they're not, like, a couple because, like, one, hot parents, okay, but two, it's just rubbing it in all of our faces. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. We're the two-week day of the week, man. ZDM.
