Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. It might be winter outside, but our air conditioning's broken and it must be rocking at about 32 degrees in here. She's a tropical Hawaiian 32 this morning. Yeah, we're just missing the sand and the cocktails.

There might be lava under the floor. Is that why it's so warm? That could be the reason. The basement of the building filled with Hawaiian lava. Is that thing still erupting, that Hawaiian volcano? I don't know. We've kind of all just forgotten about it. It's dropped out of the news now, hasn't it?

Yeah, I think it's quietened down. Okay. My parents are off there today. They're leaving their Alaskan part of their trip to go to Hawaii. Hawaii. But they don't want to talk about it because they don't want to show us. They don't want to show us. Of course they don't.

I'm going. I'm going. But they'll be able to tell. They're going to that island because that's their favourite island. The big island. The big island. Is it? Yeah. They're not scared. They're going to that island because that's their favourite island. The big island? The big island. Is it? Yes.

They're not scared. They're not cancelling because of the eruption. I think mum said, we've had a good life. They say stuff like that. Oh, we've had a good time. It was actually a tiny part of that island. Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

The news would have you believe the whole island was engulfed in lava, but it was literally like a tiny little corner. Oh, right. Yeah. So that'll be fine. But that's not going to get people tuning into the news or selling newspapers, is it? No.

A headline that reads, nothing to worry about, but heck, it's pretty. Continue to go to Hawaii. Yeah, true. Nothing to see here. But yeah, that's what they're saying, that tourism's been affected, but as you say, just a tiny part of the island affected.

And to be honest, I'd rather go to Hawaii to see an erupting volcano. I think it'd look cool. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news headlines. I found these stories online. Quirky, weird, unusual news stories.

Vaughan and Megan, you'll pick one headline. You know how it works. Maybe for those that are new to the show this morning. Headline one. Sick of being objectified, prison guard quits, wins Miss Nude World 2020. Headline. You know how it works. Maybe for those that are new to the show this morning. Headline one. Sick of being objectified, prison guard quits, wins Miss Nude World 2018.

Miss Nude World. Miss Nude World. Yes. Headline two. Woman caught trying to smuggle plastic handcuff key to husband in jail. And headline three. Latest festival shrouded in secrecy. Latest festival.

Shrouded in secrecy. What? Who's doing that? That's not Childish Gambino's festival, is it? No. Okay. Although there's a bit of mystery and secrecy there, yeah's festival, is it? No. Okay. Although that, there's a bit of mystery and secrecy there, yeah.

Yeah, not allowed to take your phone? Okay. Is it, for the whole, this is the one in New Zealand that he announced. No phones the entire weekend. No.

Well, what's the point? I'm not going if people don't know I'm at a cool festival. Well, he wants you to go and just enjoy it. No. I'm sneaking my phone. And I think it helps

the secrecy angle because you're not going to see what happened in there. Doesn't get documented. Okay, well, very much like this festival. Are we going with this one? I reckon.

Swingfields. 2018. Oh, wow. What do you think happens at Swingfields? Sex. Swingers. Yes.

Swingers stuff. Well, that has been happening in a secluded field or fields near Worcestershire. Worcestershire. Worcester. Worcester. Don't you say Worcester? Worcestershire. It's like the sauce.

How do you say it? Worcester. Worcester. No, but it's shire at the end. I know, but you just say it's like Gloucester. No time. Stupid name. Anyway, locals quite

bemused by the fact that the two-day festival is happening near their town. Infield's huge marquees have been erected. The news have done a flyover of the event. They're not flying directly over. They've used telephoto

lenses to get in to look at the camping setup. Stocks, hammocks, swimming pools, four-poster beds just in the middle of these fields.

You really have to be sure that the weather was going to be nice. Yeah, well, they're having a great summer, yeah. Yeah. The area is licensed,

so it's allowed to sell alcohol. Now, the site is a tightly guarded secret. Ticket holders only. And if you had a ticket to Swingfields, I think you knew roughly where it was. Yeah. But you didn't know the exact location. Right. So 48 hours before, they told everybody where the festival is.

And, yeah, you had to basically, if you got into this festival, you weren't allowed to talk about it. No social media, nothing. Do you have to like prove you've got a good bill of health before you go there? Like, is a responsible festival runner? You're talking about like, well, I mean, any festival's got to provide a St. John's.

They probably better have a St. John's tent. For sure. Yeah. Now, tickets to the event, £195 for couples. £195 per couple or per person in the couple? I'd say that's per couple. A single gentleman's ticket, £170, and a single female's three-day ticket, £115.

Probably just to discourage all the creepy single guys that would go to this kind of thing. So what else is there? Is there music? Well, yeah, it's just like a normal festival. It's got food, alcohol, tents, food trucks, and yeah. Wow. Who knows? You can use your imagination for the rest.

Wow. Because it has been very warm For the rest Wow Because it has been Very warm in England Yes it has Yeah But they'll be very Pleased about that Yeah I just can't believe

There's no Walls Or Roofs It's literally It would be like Having it here in the middle of nowhere On a farm

Yeah West of the springs Swinging just feels like It should be in a walled area At the very least No roof maybe But walls Or doninging just feels like it should be in a walled area at the very least. No roof maybe, but walls. They're allowed to do it

in a field. Don't fence people in. Okay. Huh? Not everyone does it in the bedroom. Yeah, but then just do it in the field.

Don't take the bedroom bed out into the field for the four post. Anyway. Hey, actually, they weren't hurting anybody. Exactly. No, they weren't. They were victimless.. Hey, that's their own. They weren't hurting anybody. Exactly. No, they weren't.

They were victimless. No one was there, you know, against their will. Wouldn't it be, just to be a fly on the wall of that thing, that would be, that'd probably blow your mind, wouldn't it? Oh. Yeah. You wouldn't know where to look. And then you'd see someone you know and you'd be like, oh.

And they reckon cleaning up after Glastonbury's a bit of a hassle. That farmer's going to really have to check that field. Yeah. F.M. As the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax gets put on fuel, the app Gas Spy, Gaspy, however you want to say it. Gaspy. It's a P.

It's like. G-A-S-P-Y. Gas, but do you say Gas Spy? Like you're spying on the gas? On prices You're spying out the Well there should be two uses I know I'm with you on that one

I thought it was gaspy Anyway the app that tells you all the petrol prices It doesn't matter Even if you don't have the regional fuel tax People love this app I use it all the time So it reported over 3,000 new sign-ups on Saturday alone, mostly Aucklanders, because of the fuel tax.

That would put it as the top. I'm just looking on the apps charts. Surely that will... How the hell do you get to the apps charts these days? Oh, look, it's the number one trending app. Oh, okay. Yeah, right. Yeah, on the New Zealand App Store.

So if you haven't used it, what you do is you just log on and it tells you, it obviously gets your location and tells you the closest petrol stations to you and how much they are. And it's user operated. So, when you go there, it's like a traffic light. Update price, confirm price and share price. You just

click one of the buttons. Right. And you can tell everyone, you know, what the price is. I've done this myself. So when you feel like you confirmed the price on the app. Confirmed price, yep. That's such a, what do you call those people? And then it comes up in a little purple and says,

last reported by Megan. Helpful. Helpful. Like two minutes ago. What do you call those people? What do you mean, what do you call those people? Helpful. I don't know, like I'd like to include people.

Participants in society. It's like TripAdvisor, I never write any reviews. Yeah, but that's hard. This is easy. It's just tap the button. Yeah, because you just press the button. Yeah. Right, okay.

I'm telling you guys, you've got to get in on these TripAdvisor reviews. It's so good for the ego when someone's like, thank you for this wonderful tip. You're like, yes. Yeah, I help someone. Yes. So top three apps, it's number two. It's just behind McDonald's. Okay. But I know why McDonald's is. Yeah. So top three apps, it's number two. It's just behind McDonald's. But I know why McDonald's is.

Yeah. Do you know why McDonald's is number one? I actually didn't know they had an app. Yeah. Why are they number one? Can you order food from there? No, I don't want to say because then they, you know, they win. Oh, they're doing a thing, aren't they?

Yeah, they're doing a thing. No, apparently. Yeah, I got an email yesterday and I was like, hello. Yeah, download the app and you can get a free Big Mac today so that's the only reason that'll be above

number one gaspy because people love a free thing yeah okay in the top no I was going to say

I've literally gone out of my way because some of them are like 10 up to 10 12 cents cheaper if you look at the app and you can just think

okay well that's on my way home I'll do a little detour and you can get it like 10 12 cents cheaper if you look at the app and you can just think, okay, well that's on my way home, I'll do a little detour. Yeah, right. And you can get it like 10, 12 cents cheaper. It's worth it. It needs to marry up with that Waze, you know, Waze, it's like Google Maps. In fact, sometimes, I don't know if it still does, but Google Maps used to get information

off Waze, like you'd report an accident. Oh, yeah. And it was owned by Google, so then it would put it into Google Maps when they confirmed it and that's why the traffic was slow. Because if you had your Google Maps open

on your dash and then it had the petrol station symbol and then the price next to it that'd be pretty cool. Well that's what Waze has got.

Oh right, okay. Waze has got but you have to report the petrol price in that app but if it married up with this gaspy. You need to set an alert

and be like beep at me if it's under $2.05. Yeah, and even if I'm full, I'll squeeze a little bit more in. Pop a little bit in. Squeeze it in. There's a new survey that has revealed what women and men are really looking for in the bedroom. So this talks about sexual fantasies.

Now, it's described as sexual fantasy that a mental picture that you have in your waking state that's sexually arousing to you. So this study is done and it did men and women and it has found that men are more likely to

have fantasies that include an emotional element. I've always said we're complex emotional creatures. So having their partners desire them was number one for men. Right. Women were more likely to fantasize about

bondage, domination, sadomasochism than men were. Was I not allowed to say those words? I don't know. So they, both genders also Was I not allowed to say those words? Yeah, I don't know. It's a way. So they, both genders also fantasize a lot about groups. Right. Group sex.

But apparently, just on the group situation, that comes out when you're older. Well, people just trying to answer these, I'm more worried about these surveys. People try to answer to make themselves seem more daring than they are, quite like risque. What do you fantasise about? Oh, like groups and being smacked on my bottom.

I don't know. What's the correct answer here? Am I being too creepy? Have I gone too far? Am I not going far enough? So, yeah, I don't know. But they've said they found that their first sexual experience, so their first sex experience that a person had was most likely to dictate how they liked it in the future.

So if your first time was unusual or adventurous in any way, you were probably more likely to have out there fantasies than if it was just like in the bedroom pretty standard. Mine was in a caravan. I was going to say that's why you like caravans. Location wise, exotic and interesting. On a single axis. Yeah.

But no. Okay. That's interesting. So that could be a good question on like a first date. No it wouldn't be I don't think. You would. be a good question on like a first date. No, it wouldn't be, I don't think. You would. It's fairly out there on a first date. Second date.

No, because then you get an insight as to whether they're like adventurous or whether it's... No, I don't think first date should, that shouldn't delve into first date territory personally. Yeah. You want to keep it to, you know, what do you do for a job? Oh, that's super interesting. Yeah. What's your relationship like with your family? Oh, yeah, great.

Yeah. So your first out there sexual experience, was it like adventurous and crazy? Were you tied up smack? Was your bottom smack weird? No, no. You don't need to ask like in depth. Well, you've got to once you open the can of worms.

It's also pretty creepy that, yeah, they found out that like swingers and group sex was a lot of older people's fantasies. It's just getting older, isn't it? Spice it up, eh? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's that moment, you know, like people have that, they say that you realise that you haven't got that long left. So you just like, what have I not done?

Yeah, do what you've always buried at the back of your mind. Why? Moving on nicely. Yeah. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello. Today's Top Six deals with the fact that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, the bubble has truly burst from the dizzying heights.

Hold on, I got sent a graph before from my friend who's lost lots of money. He's stoked. Yeah. So from the dizzying heights of 14,000, this was his cryptocurrency. Yeah. It peaked at 14,354 pounds. Pounds. How much did he put in?

I think he put in, it was definitely in the hundreds of pounds Right Might have been a couple of thousand pounds Okay In Britain So 14,000 pounds was what it got up to It's now back down to Well, well less than a tenth of that

Down to a thousand I think Right A thousand pounds so If you cashed out at about December last year, you would have made some good money. Well, the ass has dropped out of it. It could very well be the future of how currency is going to go.

But right now, we're all just stoked. We're doing better out of it and we did nothing. Yes. Yeah. Correct, Armando. So the top six things that would have been a better investment this time last year than Bitcoin. Number one, matte black homeware.

If you bought it then, it probably wouldn't have been too expensive. But on trend now, oh my goodness me. It's gone. It's just shot right up in price. Number five on the list of the top six things that would have been a better investment than Bitcoin, a website, harryandmegan.co.uk. Imagine how much you could have sold that for around the wedding. Yeah.

Or, you know, paid to have traffic redirected somewhere else. That would have been a good little return on investment, me thinks. Number three on the top, sorry, number four on the list of the top six things that would have been a better investment than Bitcoin. Anything lavender, because step aside, Millennial Pink, lavender is having its moment. Is it? Oh, it is. Yuck. Spring 2018 runways,

there's a lavender takeover. Where did you read that? I don't know. Something that's subscribed as an Instagram friendly shade that's been used in highlighters, lipsticks, and more. Lavender. Lavender. No.

Number three on the list of the top six things that would have been a better investment than Bitcoin, an avocado tree. Yeah. Like if you bought an established potted avocado tree, I don't know how well they do in a pot. You need a very big pot. But if it was established, you could be getting avocados off that now

and wow, they're still up there around six bucks in avo. Thousands of dollars worth. So you could be really reaping the rewards. Number five. Oh, no, sorry. Number two on the list of the top six things that would have been a better investment than Bitcoin. Butter.

Because butter's gone up in price. More than Bitcoin. Stockpile butter. Yep. Kept it in a fridge somewhere. Does butter keep... Ages, eh? Yeah.

I've never seen... I've never seen mold on butter. I've never had butter long enough that the butter's gone bad. Nah. No, neither. But then we get through a lot of butter. And the number one thing that would have been a better investment than Bitcoin, I mean, it's going to be obvious if you've left filling up your tank today

when you should have filled it up last week, if you live in Auckland especially, petrol. Yeah. Out. But you can't keep that forever, eh? So I remember asking Dad when we were kids, I'm like, why don't you just fill up the biggest tank ever with petrol?

Yeah. What did he say? He's like, oh, it doesn't last forever. But see, I think that's a lie we've been fed. He just didn't want a giant tank of petrol. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's effectively a bomb. Yeah.

He just would have been purchasing a giant bomb. That's today's top six. FEM. ZM. We need to talk about Victoria Beckham for a bomb. Yeah. He just would have been purchasing a giant bomb. That's today's top six. F.E.M. Z.E.M. We need to talk about Victoria Beckham for a moment, the Beckhams, actually, because she has just got her 14th engagement ring. So in 1998, they got married.

She got a 65,000 pound, which I guess in celebrity world isn't that much, but it was 1998. Right. And it was 1998. Right. And it looks massive. It's a diamond ring. And then they've been married for 18 years. Does that sound right?

1998. No, 20. 20. 20 years. No, married 18 years. Oh, okay. So engaged to 1998. Oh, yeah.

Engaged to 1998. Yeah, yeah. And she has managed over the years to get 14 engagement rings. So I don't know if this started after the Rebecca Luz cheating scandal. Maybe he was like, okay, well, I'll give you a new engagement ring. But that was like 10 years ago, wasn't it? Yeah, true. So she must have got a couple before.

Is this a thing? No, the Rebecca Luz thing was way longer than 10 years ago. I feel like that was like really close to the start of the marriage. I feel like that's a good 14 years ago. Have a Google, Vaughn. You Google that. It's about Luz. I'd forgotten about that.

She was his assistant. Yes. And he's always denied it, but then it happened. I don't know. Who knows? Yeah, she said it happened. He said it didn't. But maybe it was after that.

It was 2004. Okay. Yep. Wow. What's she doing now? Well, she's foraging for food. She's in a yogi retreat. Foraging for food.

That's what it says. Foraging for food. What is she? What is she? An animal yoga retreat. She's in one of the mountains doing a yoga retreat. And often forages for food

with no clothes on. Yeah. Really? Okay. Yeah. Really? Okay. Yeah. There's a story this week. But, so Victoria,

like every year gets a new engagement ring from David Beckham. On the anniversary of their engagement. So she's just got another one,

120,000 pound square cut yellow diamond. That's her latest. What does she do with all of these? I don't know. And that's more rings than fingers now. That's her latest. What does she do with all of these? I don't know. And that's more rings than fingers now. She's got them all because her

collection is now worth around 8.9 million pounds. She's still got them. Jesus. That's insane. She's got more engagement rings than fingers. Because you're really an engagement ring. Because the engagement ring is the ring. She's just getting a series of very expensive rings.

That she puts on that finger and she replaces it. Is this a thing that normal people do? God, no. What do you think? Surely not. But what do you do? Would you do like an engagement present on an anniversary of an engagement? No.

No. Nah, because you just always let that one go for the latest anniversary. The wedding anniversary. Your wedding anniversary. That's your anniversary. Like some women get like an eternity band. So that's like an engagement ring, a wedding ring and an eternity band. Right.

But that would be it, right? So when do you get the eternity band? Is it one year after marriage or sometimes when you have a baby or whenever you want, whenever you demand it. Or whenever you've cheated with your assistant and you need to heal things. That's insane. That's a good deterrent. Yeah.

Isn't it? You don't want to have to spend, you know, a grand on an eternity ring. A grand. What, how much would you spend on it? Oh, you've got to put diamonds in it. Oh. No, I'm never cheating with my assistant then. That and I don't have an assistant.

Two problematic things when it comes to cheating with someone. Isn't James your assistant? Is he? Yeah. Okay, I take it all back. He's a handsome man. Probably worth the engagement. Probably worth the diamond rings.

Right. Okay. So when do you actually buy the eternity? Because you look quite worried then. Like you had to buy another ring. Does Sade not have an eternity band? No. Really?

Well, when would you normally buy that? Well, isn't it? I thought it was a year after marriage or like when you had a baby. Well, that's too late then. Both of them are too late. She's missed her opportunity. And what about a push present? What?

Did you get a push present? Yeah, I got her some blue cheese. Because you can't eat soft cheese when you're pregnant. Because of baby. So when she had the baby, I got her blue cheese and a rare steak. And she was stoked for it. I don't think that's a push present. That's just like a meal.

That's just going out for dinner. Yeah. No, because we didn't go out. I got it and brought it to her. Right. Okay. Well, I mean, the marriage is lasting. I mean, we shouldn't scoff. Yeah, you must be doing something right. We're just not sure what it is. Yeah, I mean, the marriage is lasting. I mean, we shouldn't

scoff. Yeah, you must be doing something, right? I don't know what. Yeah, I've got no idea what. Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The Podcast. Sam. I want to talk about another job that we could never do because we would 100% get ourselves in trouble. In Japan, we could never be a civil servant. That's

like a government job. Just a government job. Any level government. Because. I couldn't because I'd be on civil servant. That's like a government job. Any level government. I couldn't because I'd be on the tank. One handy. I'd do it like real innocent and real cute. Like they'd have me up in front of whoever

deals with these things. The courts. Mr. Smith, you took a bribe to get this person a big government contract. I'd be like, what? What? They just gave me money because they wanted to do it. And I was like, well, if you're giving me money, let me give you some money.

Come on. I've told you before. You wouldn't do the same? Being cute isn't a defence. No, but that's a report of law. I'm definitely reducing your sentence because that was pretty cute. But do you understand how this is? Cute isn't a defence. No, but that's a quarter floor. I'm definitely reducing your sentence because that was pretty cute. Yeah, I know. But do you understand how this is?

Like the guy came in and he had a suitcase and had money in it. And he was like, can we have this job, please? And that was polite. And then the money was a nice gesture. So I was like, sure, you can build a bridge. Here's $150 million. Thank you. So this Japanese civil servant, he's 64 years old.

He works at the Water Works Bureau. Okay. He was docked half a day's pay after he left his desk three minutes early. Japan has this culture though, eh? They're very strict and very on time. But, even if their trains leave a couple of seconds early, they make sure an apology. Apology. So, he

left three minutes early to go get himself some lunch. And this is a massive no-no. Now, because he is a civil servant, he had to appear on national TV in front of a press conference and say, I'm sorry. Imagine the things you'd have to apologise for. Your pants off in studio for starters.

Hello to the people of Japan. Look. It was very, very hot. And I needed to take my pants off. You get me? You get me? You guys get me what I'm saying, right? Kimonos and stuff.

If I had a kimono on, I'd be fine. Yeah. Isn't it funny, though? Like, they're so strict about that, but they have, like, weird vending machines and, like. Yeah, that's true. They do. Creepy vending machines. What you've identified there, Megan, is cultural differences between different cultures.

So, God, like, if I lie to get out of a meeting and go home an hour, maybe an hour and a half early, maybe two hours, two and a half hours earlier than I should have, I'd have to do one of those sacrificial killings where you kill yourself with a sword by driving it through your belly. I don't think they go that far. Well, three minutes and it's a national apology. Very well could be. Imagine how much

trouble I'm going to be in for getting that money and giving that guy that bridge building contract. I asked him if he was going to build the best bridge he could and he said he was going to do his best. And what more can you ask? I don't know. I'm in trouble for something I haven't even done. It's all figurative

at this stage. I just want to mention quickly, if you figurative at this stage. It is, yeah. F.E.N. City. I just want to mention quickly, if you're in Auckland coming in from the west, shout out, but it's shut. The motorway's shut. What do you mean shut?

Which way? There's been a serious crash city-bound. So they say eastbound. If you're heading in from west Auckland to central Auckland, it's actually just shut. There's been a serious incident. Yeah. Okay, right. So it's just shut.

Don't take it that way. And the traffic's backed right up. Avoid getting on there if you can. Go suburban. Take public transport. Ring your boss and say you're not coming in. Yeah, and then send the link to the video and be like, look, I'm not getting in that.

Awful. And then he's like, you're fired. You'd be like, sweet as. See you later. I just want to touch briefly on the danger of being too influential. Firstly, firstly,

two jokes in there. First, briefly. Something I'm incapable of. Firstly, how pumping was the Raza on Friday night? We all went to the RSA on Friday night. So great. And it was Fletch Experience, the fluctuating prices of the Raza drinks. So this was so great because I was like, I'll have a gin and tonic. They obviously thought I was going to get a beer.

But, you know, I'm at the RSA. I'm going to live a little. And it was $4.60. I'm like, I'm out of my mind. A it was $4.60. I'm like, amazing. A drink is $4.60. Yeah. For alcohol. That's mental.

What is this, like the 90s or something? Is that how much a gin and tonic would have been in the 90s? You have to put your shock inwards because you don't want them catching on. I didn't say anything. I was like, oh.

And then I went up the next time and the lady came out and I was like, I'll have a gin and tonic. And it was like $7.20. I was like, that F is going on here. And then when I went up the next time and the lady came out and I was like, I'll have a gin and tonic. And it was like $7.20. I was like, what is going on here? And then when I went back, a different guy again, and it was like $4.20. I was like, what's happening here?

The stock market is fluctuating. Like, do they just make up a price at the RSA? Do they just make up a price at the RSA? They close their eyes and go, beep, beep, beep, beep. I think so. I don't know. Weird. Yeah, but that's just so. I don't know. Weird. Yeah, but that's just life.

Changes around a little bit. But that was pumping. The RSA, the Razor on Friday night was pumping. What a great night at the Razor. But then, so Sunday, I'm a huge fan of Yum Char and have, for many moons, sung its praises. Yeah. Yesterday, Sunday, which is the sort of traditional day for the family yum cha, for everybody. After we went and saw a movie, we said, let's go for yum cha.

We went to four different yum chas and the waits were all at least 45 minutes at each yum cha. Well, that's not your fault. Now, I'm not saying it's primarily because I speak so highly of yum cha that yum chas experience the flourish. It might be something to do with the do that it's the national Sunday. It might be something to do with the fact that it's the national Sunday meal of the world's most

populous country. But undeniably, there's correlation doesn't equal causation. But. Right. You're somewhat to blame. I shouldn't be made

to wait for yum cha. I'm OG. All right. You've been doing it before it got popular. Is that what you're saying? No. Yes. No. Yes. It saying? No, yes, no.

It's always been popular, but 45 minutes. We went to four different yum chars. For a start, I didn't know there were four different yum chars. I only ever go to one yum char. Can you book yum char? Well, one place, apparently you can book, and that was the problem. But everywhere else, you just turn

up. You get a little number, you wait. So I just, if you had a steamed pork bun yesterday, that was on me because I went without. So you ended up eating cold leftovers

at home. Did you pack it in and go home? We had a bit of an in-house boozy night on Saturday night. Some friends came over. And then,

so the next, you know, I wake up with a bit of vigour. Right. Hit the ground running, went and saw Hotel Transylvania 3 with the kids. Yep. And then afterwards had faded to the point of yum cha being my only...

Saving grace. Saviour. Yeah, right. And when I couldn't have it, I had to go home and eat some cold meat. It was okay. Cold meat was okay. Cold potato, no good. And why is cold kumara so delicious?

Cold potato, no good. When they're so, you know, closely related, one is the sweet version of the other. Well, maybe because it's sweeter, it's nicer. Maybe. But see, I can eat a cold pumpkin, skin on, but I don't like a cold potato. Yeah. Cold beans, even above cold potato, but a hot potato is up there. The Wiggles sung a song about it.

That's how great it is. Yeah. Life's big questions, eh? Life. That's how great it is. Yeah. Life's big questions, eh? Life's big problems. There was a few yesterday. There was lots of questions. Right. I want to talk about a girl in Iowa. Kayla got a nasty surprise when she was trying to do something really nice for her

boyfriend. So her boyfriend, they had a long distance relationship three hours apart, but they could still see each other. I mean, three hours is a drive. Yeah. So she said her boyfriend was studying for exams, and she was aware that he was studying really hard. So she thought for a treat,

she was going to get food delivered to his house. She ordered it for him, and it's from Jimmy John's, which is like a gourmet sandwich place. Okay. So she rang up, got it delivered. He texts her and said, hey, look, I'm just going to have a wee nap. She was like, well, the food will be there when he wakes up. Now, this is when she didn't hear back from him.

And then she got a wee text back saying, hey, thanks. Thanks for the Jimmy John's a few hours later. Right. That was when she got a call from the guy, the delivery guy from Jimmy John's. And the delivery guy said look, we don't usually do this but I think you'd like to know when I walked up to the door

to your boyfriend's place, we were able to see into his apartment and he was in his boxes with a naked woman on top of him on the couch. What a way to find out. So she was like, okay. She said she asked some follow-up questions.

She was able to establish that, yes, this was definitely her boyfriend. It wasn't a mistaken identity. And there was a naked woman on top of him. Did he eat the sandwich? But how would the delivery guy know? Did he know it was like, did she put a message in, this is for my boyfriend,

surprise him? Yeah, yeah, must of. Yeah, right. Must of, yeah. Maybe a little note. I don't know if I'd want to get involved. What a nice thing to do.

Yeah. If I was a delivery person, I'd be like, uh-oh. Because they would see some things and then you're like, well, this is on my conscience now. How do I tell? But the girlfriend was doing

such a nice thing. Yeah, you probably should tell her. You're like, oh, don't spend any more money on this D-bag. There was a second where you were telling that story and you said that he was in his boxes.

I was like, and they were satin boxes and Jimmy John's were not okay with that. We're not okay with satin boxes. So he took the sandwich back to the store. Yeah. Wow. So the delivery guy went above and beyond and I that. We're not okay with satin boxes. So we took the sandwich back to the store. Yeah. Wow.

So the delivery guy went above and beyond, and I take it they're not together anymore. But I feel really bad for her. How long had that been going on in their long-distance relationship? Courier drivers would say some things. One hundred. Delivery and courier people? All the time. Don't people just answer the door naked sometimes?

Oh, yeah. And they're like, oh, okay. Do they do that on purpose, or do they just forget? Some people do. Or some people just don't care naked sometimes? Oh, yeah. And they're like, oh, okay. Do they do that on purpose or do they just forget? Some people do. Or some people just don't care. They're like, okay. But you've also got to remember it's not just whether you're comfortable with it. You're making the other person very uncomfortable.

Yeah. I always meet my courier at the gate if I see them pulling in. I don't know why. If I don't know they're coming, I'll let them come to the door. It's good for the neighbours, though, because I go naked all the way to the gate. So it's, you know, it's what was a show for ones become a bit more of a, you know, an open-air performance of Shakespeare. Right, and then if the bus goes past...

Well, I mean, that's something for them. That's sort of a reward for taking public transport. Right, OK. You're really rating yourself this morning, eh? It's the heat in here. Our air conditioning's broken. And while it's cold and it's wintry outside, it's very balmy in here.

It's making me go a bit crazy. You are sweating. Yeah, I know. I can't stop. It's so hot. I've taken my pants off. And I'm thinking about ditching my pineapple socks. Maybe don't.

No, it's fine. All right. FEM. Found out something very interesting. We were talking about sort of house expenses and stuff, boring stuff. But out of it was born a very interesting fact. It's that producer James, who lives in a flat, with how many people? How many people live in your flat?

Six? Six, yeah. Six people live in the flat. And they were talking about the weekly shop. And we found out that they put in $40 each a week, and that gets them breakfast, lunch, and dinner four days of the week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

And then Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you're on your own. But for $40, effectively, they're eating for $10 a day. That's pretty good. Which is amazing. Because I've never been a fan of that in flats. No, I'm a bit picky. I'm a picky person. It might be easier if you're really good friends with everybody,

but if you're with randoms and everyone's working different times, they can't all be home for dinner. Someone doesn't like carbs. But then that's the thing. I've lived in a flat where it worked and it was really good because you only had to worry about cooking one night. Yeah, right. And, you know, that was your night.

You had to do that. But then the rest of the nights you just got meals cooked for you. And it was that sort of collective thing, which was your night. You had to do that. But then the rest of the night, you just got meals cooked for you. And it was that sort of collective thing, which I quite liked. But yeah, you're a fussy bi and you're picky and almost a bloody tiger. Doesn't want to be part of a lion's clan. You want to go out and do your own thing.

So he wants to revolt just because he doesn't want to be part of the collective. Yeah. Whereas I just don't want the food. You're fussy. So this was the part that blew my mind. Producer James, what is the item I described as overly luxurious that is included every week in the flat grocery shop?

That's the one. Everyone lost their minds over it. We buy a tub of ice cream every week for the flat. And you have ice cream every night. They have an ice cream every night after dinner. There's five of us go in on the shop and then each week we go and do flat shop on like a Sunday. Yeah.

And then each person each week gets a turn at picking the flavour, which is always a highly contested topic. What's the flavour this week? I think this week I might have, I think I saw it was a boysenberry, which I'm not so happy about. You don't like your fruits. No, it always gets to a point sometimes where we have to leave the person at the freezer.

Everyone go and pay for the meal while they go and pay for the food while they pick the flavour, or else you're getting too many opinions. There's too much of a debate. What was your flavour when you picked it? I normally, I sort of rotate between about three different flavours. I'll go for a cookies and cream, an orange choc chip, or maybe even just a straight chocolate.

See, I'd pick a flavour that I knew people didn't like just so I'd have more ice cream. Well, that's the thing is that if you make a really bad decision, the other four people will say you skip your turn next time. There are some that are on the blacklist for a lot of people. And a lot of accusations go around that I'm probably the fussiest of the flavour sort of person. But I have a list of no fruit ice cream.

Boysenberry, that's why I'm not too heavy about that. No lime or any sort of citrus like that. Lime's the best. No, no. Also Gold Rush, that sort of style's the best also gold rush that sort of style excuse me so you're going to get orange chopped chip but not a gold rush

universally pleasing completely different one is way better than the other just stay middle of the road just no food we get those day average that much more situation and they divide it in four And you get four flavours

In one tub That's a people pleaser That's not too bad I don't mind Sort of straying off A little bit But if it's no good Then you do miss

Your turn next time It's just the risk You've got to take You guys are living Like the queen Ice cream every night On the flat account That's madness

I mean myself My girlfriend Chanel and I We're probably the big advocates of probably every night. We've got quite a sweet tooth. There's a couple of them that probably have it maybe twice, three times a week. So there's no rules like one scoop a day for everyone? No, it's nothing like that.

Too trusting. I'd be in there every spare moment. I've got a new rule with ice cream in our house. I just take the tub out of the freezer, leave the freezer door open, go to the bench and start eating it with a teaspoon and when the freezer goes beep, beep, beep, it's time to put it back. I mean, you do run the risk. It is pretty much gone by Wednesday. Oh, right.

I have tried to place the seed of getting a full three-litre cardboard box one that you get from a dairy. Yeah, I like that. No one's taken the bites on that yet. No. Well, that's a bit much taken the bites on that yet. No. Well, that's a bit much to put on the flat account. But to get away with ice cream on the flat account, that's pretty ooh-la-la.

It's very ooh-la-la. I don't know if we just push for it, but everyone seems to agree on it, which seems to work. What about you, Caitlin? Do you ever put anything on the flat account? I don't have a flat. Does your flat go in for groceries? No. Ali buys all the groceries,

and then I just take stuff slowly away from her until she realises that I'm taking her stuff. So you're stealing? I'm stealing. Not what we want to talk about. I'm always here for Ali. Terrible flatmate.

No, we just, I haven't bought food with my flatmates since broadcasting school. Like, I've been solo for like 10 years. But then you hear, Jane does $10 a minute.

I know. That's a day for breakfast, lunch, dinner. That's really good. But I'd be, I'd honestly, I'd have to like, I'd be like, you's a day for breakfast, lunch, dinner. That's really good. But I'd be, honestly, I'd have to like, I'd be like, you've got more ice cream than me. Yeah, I'd be like that too. 100.

I've got these flatmates. They're not paying rent. They won't get a job. But they go to bed early. They wake up late. One of them's four, Vaughn. Correct. Biologically, they're my children. But they're the world's worst flatmates.

I really have to just say, go and tidy your room. Like, come on. Yeah, right. And run sort of amateur flat inspections. You guys think you've got it tough. But I'd like to know what luxuries you're putting on the flat account. Like, what's your, not like you're stealing from the flat account. No.

Maybe. But maybe your flat, like James' flat, goes in for ice cream. Yeah. Well, maybe you buy a couple of bottles of wine every week as long as everybody's there for a glass. That's why you never trust the person in charge of the flat account, eh? You're always skimming or always getting a couple of... But then my thoughts are if they're taking care of everything...

Then it's a payment. It's their payment. Yeah, we seem to always end up with a bit of surplus. I don't know how, but that's, I mean, we can do those luxuries like ice cream or if someone wants a can of peaches for breakfast, go for it. It's nothing for me.

Luxuries are found, mate. Go for it. A can of bougie peaches. We've actually just moved up from, you know, you used to get the 24-pack of Kiwi Roll, one-ply toilet paper. Yeah, we've gone up to a nice, what is it? What's the one with the rolly dog on the front?

Purex. Yeah. An 18-packer Purex. I won't even splash out for a Purex. We're slowly moving up. I mean, we're all full-time workers. Why not treat yourself? You guys will be on long rolls soon.

That's the best thing ever. So better than that Kiwi roll, that's for sure. I like my butthole to know who's boss. Alright, so 0800 dials in, you can text 9696. What little luxuries are you having

on the flat account? We're talking about what little luxuries you put on the flat account. We've found out that producer James' flat chucks in ice cream. Top of ice cream

on there every week. I'm just amazed. I wouldn't have the self-control. I'd be into that thing. And I'd be yelling at you for eating more than your fair share. Exactly. And I'd be yelling at you, even though I'd eat more than my fair share,

blaming you for eating more than your fair share. I can't have anything like that. Ice cream, biscuits, chips, anything in the pantry or the fridge. Because then you'll just eat them. Because I've got no control. Yeah, you're like a Labrador. Yeah. Eat yourself to death if it's there,

so it's best just not to have it. Pretty much. So we're talking about what little luxuries you bought on the flat account. Someone text messaged in, our third year flat bought a swimming pool on the flat card. What? Everybody voted yes,

but they didn't ask me because they knew I'd vote no. Absolutely ropeable. Are we talking like those warehouse ones? I think so. Right. I don't think they had an in-ground pool. Hey, guys, we'll just put a $50,000 pool in. Obviously, chlorine is going to be quite an expensive ongoing cost.

Even water to fill a pool. Yeah. You've filled your pool with your neighbour's hose, didn't you, Megan? Yeah. How much did that cost her? I don't know. Still don't know to be screwed, though. Shauna, what did you put on the flat account?

So third year of uni, once we'd all turned 21, we went to the Deleeden Casino and we went black or red on the roulette table with all our food money. Loose! Loose! We went feast or famine for the week, so if we lost, we weren't going to gonna win or we weren't gonna pretty much eat.

Shauna, did you do this every week? No, no, no, no, we did it as a once-all. Okay, and how did that go? Um, so we got there and they were, um, it had been, you know how it shows you what the last spins had been? It showed us that the last six were like red and so we were like, alright, we'll go black because... That's absolutely not how that works. That's not how that works.

But one of our flat members had just walked off and went to the toilet and so we couldn't do it because she wasn't there. So then it went red again so we were lucky that she had gone toilet and we went black the next time and we ended up winning. So we got like roast pork that week. We got fresh steak.

We got fresh food. Wow. We went crazy because we doubled our flat money. Wow. That's amazing. I like that you didn't go back again and that you'd learned your lesson, even though you'd won. No, yeah.

We don't want to push our luck. Yeah. No. Brilliant. All right. Thanks, Shona. No. Be so feminine. Really? All right. Thanks, Shona. Ben.

My flat goes in on about eight or nine two-litre bottles of Diet Coke every week. Oh, yeah. I'd be down for that. That's probably about what Megan spends on Diet Coke. How many big bottles? About eight or nine. Okay. Good Lord.

So that would take up a fair portion of the fridge. Do you buy them all at once? We'll buy about four on a Sunday, and then by Wednesday we run out, so we buy about four more. And it's all on the flat account? Everybody drinks it? Yeah, we got one guy who's particularly addicted to it, but the whole flat is pretty keen on it. Oh, see, I'd be rationing home.

Yeah, do you have arguments about someone drinking too much? Not yet. How many people are in your flat? We've got five guys. See, I'd almost buy five each time and have names on bottles. Yeah, that's a good idea. That actually sounds like a pretty good plan. Thank you.

Some other text messages in. Somebody said we had flat condoms. Oh, yeah. Just everybody chipped in and we'd get a big bowl of condoms. And then what if someone was using more than you were? You're not going to go. You're not going to admit it, are you? You're going to be angry at your pal.

Megan's right, and you're not going to admit it. I haven't used any this week. Oh, yeah. Oh, shame on you. But they're all gone. You're like, someone's doing well here. Someone's doing very well. Some other text message.

We had the flat account hooked up to the Uber, but the deal was that we could only get in and use it if we were all going into town from the flat for Uber we got a call one night at 3 o'clock

in the morning and it was one of my flatmates and apparently I was the last flatmate he needed to talk to to get permission to use the Uber

to go for a booty call we happily granted him permission but he was so thankful he later put that money back into the flat account to cover his personal Uber. It's nice that he asked, though.

Imagine, hey, you're the fourth and final flat and I came and I got a booty call. Can I use the flat Uber? Hey, look, I'm not going to stand on your way there. Get out there.

Get out there, champ. You do what you think. Better to ask for forgiveness later. Yeah, or just use it and then put the money, because he put the money in anyway. Yeah. Yeah.

Great, great guy. Somebody said, Throwback to 2006, Desperate Housewives was the juiciest show on television. Myself and my two flatmates would splash out on a Cereally cheesecake and a bottle of Aquila on the flat account, and we'd sit down and watch us, some Desperate Housewives, and yum up that cheesecake and enjoy us some Jessie What's-His-Face.

They just wrote Jessie but I can't remember his last name. Who was the hot Jessie off Housewives? The Paul Kleiner one. Yeah, Gardner. Jessie.

It was a good time for Jessies in the 2000s. You had Jessie McCartney. You had... Jessie Metcalf. Jessie Metcalf. Oh, you got a book from my Google.

That's a great... What's Jessie Metcalf up to now? Blew out, but I think he reclaimed it. Don't say that. No, I'm allowed to say that, because I did too. It was at a 2008, 2009 blowout, and then you got to reclaim that. What's he doing?

Beautiful eyes, as I recall. I'm just knee-deep in some pictures of him. Of course you are. Should we just leave you then? We'll leave you then. Okay, right. Now, I'm going to run a poll now because I've got a question for the nation. I question an issue that's tearing Caitlin and I's friendship apart.

I might be overdramatic. An issue. Overdramatising this. You're the one that has an issue. I'm fine with it. Well, of course you have an issue because you don't have jeans with a stain on them. Is there a stain?

Are these the same jeans you're wearing now? These are the same jeans. So, okay, it's at the weekend. Yeah. Caitlin and I are at someone's house. There's drinks. Yeah. And somebody makes espresso martinis.

Ooh la la. Caitlin puts her espresso. Someone made espresso. You went at a bar. Wow. Yeah, someone makes. Wow. I know.

Our friends are cool. And so Caitlin drops her espresso martini or knocks it over on the bench. Yeah, can I... Okay, you say your side and then I'll say my side.

Okay, yeah. Well, there's really... There's two sides. Okay, don't argue two sides to the story. Fletch, you go first. Caitlin knocked over the drink and it spilled on me How does your story go?

This is the staircase The drink is Kathleen It's at the bottom of the stairs We'll decide how it got there The reason that my drink knocked over and onto Fletch Was because Fletch and I were having a very heated discussion I can't remember what it was about And obviously because my hands went like that

We weren't even talking. I was talking to someone else. The only reason why my drink fell over was because I was using my hands to describe something and then that's why it fell over. So it wasn't my fault. She was gesticulating. Yeah. So I think

it was because we were having an argument or something. We were doing something and I went like that. I don't even remember talking to you at the time I was talking to someone else. You were talking to PJ or someone else. Well it was because we were having an argument or something. We were doing something and I went like that. I don't even remember talking to you at the time. I was talking to someone else. You were talking to PJ or someone else. Well, it was probably PJ's fault then. It's not. Honestly.

Your hand touched a glass and knocked it over. Correct. But. This is a question. Should, if a friend spills something on your clothes, should they pay for the dry cleaning or the cleaning? Why don't you just put them through the wash? That's what I was going to say. I don't like washing jeans.

Yes, if it's a silk dress, but these are your jeans. The hard-wearing denim. Put them in the washing machine. I did help clean it up. You were the one that said, don't touch me there. She was trying to dab my ball in my crotch. So much

sexual tension between you two. I don't know what to do with this. Get it done, Ross and Rachel. You're crying out loud. I'm with Megan. If this was a high-end, delicate fabric, I'd say dry-cleaning would be a must, but it's jeans.

I'd just give them a scrub. I don't like washing jeans. You don't wash jeans that much. That's not her fault that you're a princess with your jeans. Exactly. You wash jeans not often, but when they're grubby. Yeah, but I don't want to wash them because they're not

that old. I actually think stains on jeans adds a certain character. It's getting a roast beetroot out of the oven at the weekend. It slipped out of the tongs and hit the oven dish with ferocity causing a splash of beetroot to go on my pants.

But I'm just going to leave it there. You're a monster. That little brown tinge looks really good. I like the brown tinge. I can't even see it when you pointed there before. You kind of can see it.

Insignificant, Your Honour. Does it smell? You just smell like yummy coffee. Just wash your jeans. No, see, you've just put up the photo of the spill saying, should Caitlin pay for this? But I think there also needs to be a photo of the jeans as they are now. Yeah.

Well, they're not in a new state for it, and I'll tell you that much. And it's Caitlin's fault. That's just wear and tear. Is it my fault? I don't know if it is. That's general wear and tear. You spilt the drink. You're not denying that.

Yeah, I did. If it was dry clean only and she'd ruined it, she would have to pay for it. If it was a ruby red cosmopolitan that had stained the pant, perhaps. But the espresso martini just washed straight out. Can we imagine what would have happened if the espresso martini went on those new white shoes? Oh, my God.

I would be alive. Okay, you know what? There is a brown drop on my white shoe. Didn't you Scotchgard your white shoes for these very specific occasions? I don't care about that. Wiped right off. Fletch, I'm sorry. I don't know what else you want me to do.

I'm not. What does the poll say, Megan? What does the poll say? Are people saying that Caitlin should pay? I have to vote no. No, people agree with me. 59% say no. 60% say no because I just voted. You're not rounded up. No, I just with me. 59% say no. 60% say no, because I just voted.

You've got to round it up. No, I just voted and I made it 50. You're not Paul Martin Brunton. You can't do this. Yeah, no. See, I think that makes it look like they're really stained, but we need to see the genes as they are, and I'm sure even the yes voters would change their mind on that one.

Thanks, New Zealand. There you go. You said you were going to go with what they said. We live in a democracy. I will. Will you let it go now? We've got 24 hours of voting. I won't There you go. You said you were going to go with what they said. We live in a democracy. I will. And you know, we've still got... Will you let it go now? We've got 24 hours of voting.

I won't let it go. Somebody said dry cleaning chemicals are worse for genes than just giving them a wash, a delicate wash. Oh, for crying out loud. Okay, I'll give them a dab. Or just put them in cold water if you don't want to give them a proper wash. Then what? Well, then we'll soak them

and then we'll get the espresso martini out of it and then hang them up. Probably should have done this on Sunday night, hey, when I got home. Caitlin's fault again. Oh, my God. Sunday night? Where were you between Saturday night when this happened

and Sunday night when you got home? No, no. Someone was dabbing your balls. Literally. You didn't want Caitlin touching them. I don't know who was for that 24-hour period. I'm talking about after midnight. That would be Sunday morning, not Sunday night.

Your Honour, I've got him entrapped and sneered. Had he dealt with the stain within the predetermined time, it would not be an issue. No, this isn't the staircase. And in closing. No. Will the votes continue? Okay, well, I'll live with the outcome.

We live in a democracy. I won't be happy about it. And stop making passive-aggressive comments. Yeah, you're not allowed to say anything to her every time that you're wearing those jeans and or we go out for a drink and or anyone has an espresso martini. And any time I say something to you and you don't have an answer,

you can't just be like, well, why did you pour it on me? That's not the answer to everything. Group decision. Okay, fine. 14 past eight. Next on the show, we join in some special guests.

Bree and Clint, whose show starts this afternoon. By the way, was it her fault you spilled the drink when she was there? Actually, it might have been her fault because she was probably saying something funny and then I just accidentally spilt. Yeah, it's

probably Brie's fault. Let's have her up about that. No, let's not. I think it's been adequately dealt with. Good morning to Brie and Clint. Now free. Wait a minute. Now legally allowed to talk. Hooray, I'm free. Yay.

Yay. Welcome, guys. Welcome in. Morning. I think quite like ending a legal silence. Right. Been there. Don't look like a gag order.

Good times. Yeah. Good fun. The show starts this afternoon. Am I correct in saying there's sort of a handover period? Yeah, somewhat. Yeah, we have special guests on the show this afternoon. Jason and PJ are going to join us

for at least the first half of the show. We couldn't get anyone else, so... No other celebrities, so we thought, get them back on. People kind of like them, apparently. Nah. So what does the handover entail? It's going to be kind of like a joint dual show of their stuff and our stuff and it'll all come together kind of like Infinity War.

It's a bit of a shit fight, to be honest. No one's ever done a four-person radio show successfully, so strap in for that. Yeah, four big egos in one room. What could go wrong? It'd be horrific. And you guys are matching too. You've both gone for khaki today.

We have a very similar colour palette. Yeah, we do. What is this, Megan? Is this... Autumn. Autumn. Is that what you're talking about? Well, yeah, because you told me...

Because I always say... Yeah. Well, the month. No, that's your colour scheme. Autumn is like khaki. Seasonal. Because what did you say Vaughan was? He's a summer, I think.

You're a summer. I'm a blossom. What about that he's got a swindry? Oh, you had no pants on earlier. No, very summery. It shocked me earlier. Yeah, I put my pants back on. Thank you for doing that.

Not good legs. No, only because I... Thank you. I need to go to the toilet. The thing about my legs is they've got to be seen all. All of the legs have got to be seen at once

to appreciate it. If you only see the bottom half, they look a bit skinny. Right, okay. All as one sort of whole package though, much more. You've got good girth in the thigh. Thank you.

Yes. Not in the calf though. It's of a... You've got good girth in the thigh. Thank you. Not in the calf, though. It's very chickeny. Very skinny calf. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Hey, this is nice. Leg breakdown.

But here I just put my pants back on because I had to go to the toilet and all the office people upstairs are arriving. Okay. Yeah, for those that have just joined the show, the aircon's broke, the heating's overheating. It's like 40 degrees in here. It's very, very...

So Vaughan took his pants off. Fletch, can I ask you a question? Yes. How many times did you say the wrong radio station when you started the new show? Zero. How many times did you say it? Once.

Yeah. I said it once too. Yeah. I said it once on a practice. Was it in phone number forms the hardest? Yeah. Used to the phone number rolling off the tongue. And the text bit as well.

You feel really terrible like you're sleeping with someone else and you've said your ex's name, you know? My mum's done that before. Have you done that? No. Your mum has said her ex's name. No, wait, no, she called my new partner my ex's name and I was like, mum!

She did it four times in one night! I thought you were saying your mum was sleeping with your dad but she recalled some hot lover she had back in her teens. That happened too. Just decided to yell Roger. Dad's not happy. Roger was 34 years ago. What the hell's going on?

While we've got you here, we wanted to play a game called Clint or Brie. Oh yeah. Clint or Brie. Now the answer to these questions will either be Clint or Brie. Clint or Brie. Okay. Now, the answer to these questions will either be Clint or Brie. Right. Right. This is a chance for listeners to get to know you better. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. See, I hate this because you know me better than you know Brie. No. You're just going to put up your hand to answer. They've got to know me a little bit over the last however many months. Probably not good stuff about me. Yeah. Question one in Clint or Brie.

A soft cow's cheese named after the French region from which it originated. Clint. Brie. Correct. Do you want the buzzers? Yep. Okay, good. Mario. Next. He just got that coin. Best known for playing grumpy old men

characters. Is it Brie Eastwood or Clint Eastwood? I'm going to say Clint Eastwood. Brie. Is it Brie Eastwood or Clint Eastwood? I'm going to say Clint Eastwood. Brie. Point for Brie. Yes. These are hard. I know there's people struggling that don't know these guys as well as they know themselves. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, you've got to fill in the blank. Yep. Okay. For this one. So, Auckland City, you're a friend of mine. There's no better place to be. Auckland City, you're a friend of mine. And you no better place to be. Auckland City, you're a friend of mine. And you've got a friend in the blank Z.

Bree. Correct. Two points. That was a stretch. And that was on tone, on pitch. You wouldn't know. It's beautiful. Came in hot.

Next one. She'll play Captain Marvel in the next Avengers film. Blank Larson. Is it Brie Larson or Clint Larson? I'm going to say definitely Clint Larson. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unfortunately not.

Damn, when are men going to get their chance in a superhero movie? One day. One day. I can't get a bloody foot into that franchise. Okay, well or this one. Sometimes when two letters of this name are too close together, it can make the name look like the number one bad swear word. Is it Brie or Clint?

Clint. Yes, it is Clint. You know, that is the curse of my life. And I was like, oh, cool, new show, fresh start. We'll get some new signage. You should see how capitalised and close together the L and the I are. And when the L makes one big U.

Curve to it, it does look like a U. They could have taken out the N altogether and it could have been really bad. That's true. That's true.

That also works. I just got it. Megan just clicked. I was spelling it. Clint's grown up and lived his life with these hilarious name tags.

Fill the gap. She ran an unsuccessful presidential campaign. Is it Hillary Breton or Hillary Clinton? I'm going to say Clinton. Correct. Yes. I can't wear a pantsuit. How are they getting to know them?

I'm not keeping score on this. Neither. Okay. Okay. Fill the blank again here. Huge data blank prompted 8 million emails I've received lately regarding a change in terms and

conditions. Data Clint? A data Clint? No? No. It was a data Breach. Really? Breach. You're really struggling, aren't you? It's Clint or Bre. Okay, first thing, you guys can have that if you like. Can we play that every day? For the show. Knock yourselves right out with it. Knock yourselves outindle Marie. Okay, first thing, you guys can have that if you like that. Can we play that every day?

For the show. Knock yourselves right out with it. That's great. Knock yourselves out. So four this afternoon. Four this afternoon. Four this afternoon.

We kick off. And tomorrow afternoon. Now, is there still a chance to win some cash with the first song? Or is that closed? No, no, no. That's open.

We're going to cut that off about lunchtime. So if you have a great idea for what we should start the show with, it's on our Facebook page. You can just search Bree and Clint

and pick it. If we pick yours, how much money did they give us to start with? I think it was $200. Yeah, $200. $200. It only goes down

how much money they give a new show to throw around and try to buy listeners. Right. Gosh, we used to have hundreds, didn't we? Now we do.

Now we've got the hundreds. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day. First of all, I've got to do a little bit of a check. You guys know who Rachel Ray is, right? Oh, my God. I went through a phase of like... They used to show her on TV3, didn't they?

Yeah, yeah. In the mornings. The mad Italian chef. What? EVOO. She puts EVOO on everything. What's that? Extra virgin olive oil.

EVOO. God, I loved watching her cook, but it was very American. Rachel Ray, she's not afraid of butter, and she's not afraid of cheese,e She's not afraid of butter And she's not afraid of cheese And she's not afraid of pasta There's many things to love about Rachel Rae How old? You're on a Wikipedia page

How old is she now? 49 years old 49 years old And resplendent Beautiful Lovely lady Husband John She's got a dog too

I can't remember its name Yeah Was she another one that kind of got The Oprah The Oprah boost? Did she? Is that how she got a dog too. I can't remember its name. Yeah. Was she another one that kind of got the Oprah, the Oprah boost? Did she, is that how she got a kickstart? She like, you know how all mouth to fill used to be on Oprah. Yeah, I think she's in the Harpo family.

Yeah. Okay. Well, I can tell you in 2003 at the age of 35, people knew who Rachel Ray was in 2003 as well. Maybe not as many people as do now. Right. She was asked to pose for FHM magazine. Oh yeah.

This is the For Him magazine. Yeah. They do the raunchy spreads. Is that still a thing? I don't know. I think so. I think it is. There's not as many of these magazines as there used to be, but yeah, FHM is still-

No, it's a defunct monthly men's lifestyle magazine currently operating- Get out of town! Solely online. So it used to be a magazine, now it's solely online. Solely online. Well, in 2003, when it was at the height of its magazine production, they asked Rachel Ray's agent if Rachel Ray would post for FHM. I think it was a long shot, but we'll give it a go.

Rachel Ray's agent mistakenly thought FHM stood for Food and Home Magazine and said, Rachel, do you want to pose for the Food and Home Magazine? And she said, I'd love to. And then got there. And the outfits were a little raunchier than she expected. But she was like, oh, well, I look good. So this is great. They took all the photos.

They did an interview with her. And away she went. And then became an FHM cover girl. In 2003, under the guise of posing for Food and Home magazine. She said her mother's still furious about it.

Anytime it comes up she gets really wound up about it. But she said she was really happy with how the photos came out and she'd do it again because she found it

quite empowering rather than demeaning. Have you seen the photo shoot? Yeah. Crazy. She's like serving a pie in a little outfit and then she's washing the dishes in a sexy way. She's licking chocolate off a spoon in a provocative manner.

Did she fire the agent? Who obviously had no idea. No, she obviously loved it. I don't know. I'd say she probably still got the agent. But yeah, so today's fact of the day is well-known butter pastry cheese and pasta jam. And a big fan of Evo. Evo?

Evo. Rachel Ray in 2003 posed for FHG Magazine because she thought it stood for Food and Home Magazine. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Well, it's a problem that we're going to deal with now, Producer Caitlin. And it's not the usual problem. In fact, I would say this new problem has made the last problem a problem again. Welcome to the life of producer Caitlin.

It's problem after problem. Hi, guys. Hey, girlfriend. So you are one of the big problems. I don't want to say it's a big problem. You make it a big problem. Is that you're always looking for love. Yeah.

Searching for the future Mr. Merritt. Yeah. And you've just recently got back on Bumble, giving it another go because of Love Island. Yeah. It gets you in the mood. Yeah. Top order.

So, but now that very thing that got you in the mood and got you back on Bumble has cost you Bumble. The reason being, Caitlin was lined up for a little Saturday evening, early Saturday evening, pre-espresso martini situation. Meet up with a chap off Bumble. Yeah. Weren't you? What did you have planned? Just a little bite to eat and a drink?

Probably not eat because I don't really do that. Perfect though because then you could say I've got to go to this BYO. Yeah, that's why I did it. And then you can get out of it. Easy way to get out of it. Good one. Yeah. Okay.

But you ditched the date because you thought you just wanted to squeeze in a couple of extra episodes of Love Island. God, I hope he's not listening. I told him that I wasn't feeling very well. And then you were out on Instagram story at a BYO. Like, you don't think these things through, Caitlin. You don't understand. I was watching it.

So I'm watching both the Love Island UK and the Love Island Australia. And I'm, like, far behind and I see all these spoilers. And it's just like, once you start watching it, you can't stop watching it. And it's so good and it's just like once you start watching it you can't stop watching it and it's so good and it's so intense and I just could not bring myself to leave and live my own life I enjoy like watching people live their lives then I do enjoy living my own life how sad is that when I just said that I just realized that you just said that I just want other I like watching other people find love more than I want to go out and do it myself. Well, they're put up in an unrealistic situation,

which is more exciting than most of our lives on a day-to-day. It's honestly just the best thing that's ever happened to me, watching the show. How is your wife like this, Vaughn? Oh, she loves it. Yeah. But the episodes are so long. I know.

I know, but you just, it's so good. That's why you have to cancel life. It is a sweet, we talked about it. It's a sweet spot at the moment because it's just like, I just get Fortnite. A lot of Fortnite time. She's like, oh, I might watch one more. Didn't you wake up the other night though and she was on the iPad?

Last night, I went to bed really early. Yeah. And I kind of, at some stage she came to bed and I was like oh okay she's in bed and then I fell back to sleep and I woke up and I was like man it must almost be time

to get up for work because I went to bed so early it wasn't actually that late it was like 10.30 but she was watching Love Island I rolled over I was like

oh because that's what I do every morning like roll over make sure she's still there because one morning she's going to be gone I assume she'll leave

in the dead of night and she was on the iPad. And I rolled back over and I checked the clock and it was 10.30. I was like, great, I get to go back to sleep. But this is insane. She's fully addicted. And because she's like Caitlin,

she's watching the UK and the Australian one and they're coming out every day with an hour long episode. Yeah. You can kind of have a binge every single day of the show. But she's also married and it hasn't cost her her motherly duties or neglected her

friendships or anything. Well, the only reason I'm here now and not watching Love Island is because I've got to pay for the Wi-Fi so you can watch Love Island. I had to actually put the hard word on Caitlin, who's always cancelling our BYOs with the group of friends. I said, on Caitlin who's always cancelling our BYOs with the group of friends

I said Caitlin you are not cancelling this time she's like but no bye I was so late guys I was so late because I had to finish

the episode and then when I was at the BYO I didn't want to be at the BYO because I was thinking about what was happening on the program

do you find yourself I think you've got a problem with a show when you find yourself looking for any spare moment of your life to watch it. Like, I could brush my teeth and watch this. That's what I do. I make dinner and stuff and put the laptop on the bench.

So at least you feel like you're doing something. You've got an iPad, you put it in the old recipe book holder. Yeah. And you can make your way around and still be watching a TV show. I'd love to know and ask the question this morning. What have you cancelled in your day-to-day life just so you could watching a TV show. So I'd love to know, and I asked the question this morning, what have you cancelled in your day-to-day life just so you could binge a show? We had to drag your ass to the RSA,

and then you talked about Love Island the whole time. Oh, you and Sade parked up in the corner and just talked about Love Island the whole time. That was because the RSA finished at 8.30, so I had a good amount of time to watch Love Island. That's the good thing about getting booze at the Razzie. Cheap, and you're home early. All right, so 0800DARLS at 8.30, so I had a good amount of time to watch my mother. That's the good thing about getting boozed at the Razzie. Cheap and you're home early. All right, so 0800DARLS at M9696.

What did you cancel or put off in your day-to-day life just so you could binge a show? Like, has anybody ever called in sick for work just so they could get a season done? Oh, what? What? Really? Well, like, how bad is, like... Well, you extended your chicken pox outbreak. Remember a few years ago, you wanted to get 24 finished.

Yeah. So you just extended it. I still had, like, chicken pox scars, and I was still gross. Oh, you know, totally, like, easy, yeah, lie to self. But you're right, I could have come back to work a day earlier. But that was different. That was DVD box sets. Oh, my God.

The original difference. It was the box sets. Oh, my God. The original difference. Retro. It was the original binging. You had to get out of the... You'll never know the struggle of having to get out of bed to change the DVD. Yeah. No.

And then you're just like, I'll just listen to this loop menu music forever. Forever. Yeah. What have you put on hold in life, day to day, or any big, big situations or events, just so you could binge watch a show. This is what producer Caitlin is going through at the moment.

We're having a pry her away from Love Island, Australia and UK, just to come to social functions. Why have they released all of them at once? Do they just want no one to have a life? What, you mean both series? Yeah. Yeah, I'm just amazed that they managed

to put in an hour. I mean, I doubt it's high quality, sort of gripping, scripted drama level production. You say. But Caitlin would

disagree with that. She would disagree. Yeah. There's something obviously addictive about it because, you know, all of these episodes are coming out

and people are just loving it. What was it? TVNZ On Demand told us last week two and a half million streams on Love Island on their website. Insane. Which is crazy.

And that's only going to be increasing exponentially with every episode that comes out. Yeah. Somebody said One Tree Hill. That legitimately took over my life. Was that with Jessica Biel? Was she in that? Was she in One Tree Hill? I know that Chad Michael Murray was.

Oh, yeah. That was a great show. Sort of the OC after the OCA. Or was it the same time as the OC? It took over my life. I took two sick days from work because once I started, I couldn't stop. And then when I finished, I felt lost without it.

Somebody else said, my partner and I were a little late to the second season of 13 Reasons Why. We ended up being late to various events because we needed to finish it. However, arriving at a best friend's birthday party after finishing the series probably wasn't the best idea. You're not feeling in the greatest mood.

A bit of a downer. Yeah, it's a bit of a downer. Bianca, what did you put on hold in life just so you could binge watch a show? Kill More Girls. I told my manager I needed focus to work on a project and I worked from home and

binged watched Gilmore Girls. Did you actually work while you watched? I did work. But not that much. Well, yeah. The good thing about the Gilmore Girls is they all talk a million miles an hour,

so your words per minute would have shot right through the roof. Pretty much. Bianca, thanks for your call. No worries. Stevie Lee, what did you put off for a TV show? Oh, hi there. So basically I have to go to the hospital every 28 days and get an infusion of medication, and I put that off for a day or two so I could binge watch Lost.

Okay, no, that's not life. That's life. Life or death. Yeah. That's life. Wow. Oh, but also, Stevie Lee, what a horrendous disappointment at the end of that. Well, yeah.

I mean, you can't blame me for holding it off. You know, I'm getting pricked and prodded while I'm there, so come on. Yeah, true. Yeah. I just lost. It was such a great show, and it just ended like that. Yeah.

I know. I felt like I never figured out what even happened. No, nobody did. Not even the people that were making it. So, you know, I pretty much missed out on, it wasn't too bad. I didn't get in too much trouble, but I missed it for nothing, really. Yeah, I had an organ failure by the time I got there and I was awfully confused about that.

All because of Lost. Amazing. Great, thanks, Stevie Lee. Some other text messages in on what people got caught binging and it cost them aspects of their life. Stranger things, somebody said, but the worst part was when I finished the first season, I worked out that the second one was out as well.

So the whole life on a whole got put on hold for that one. The next Stranger Things season is going to be, they're going to go through to the, isn't it going to be more in the 80s or it's going to jump forward quite a bit? No, but it's going to jump forward, isn't it? To like the late 80s. Maybe, I feel. I don't know. That's the problem with getting young teen actors,

is they won't stop growing. Growing, yeah. They'd be busy to get, no, wouldn feel. I don't know. That's the problem with getting young teen actors, is they won't stop growing. Growing, yeah. They'd be better to get, no, wouldn't work with old people. Or they die too. They die, yeah. God, it's hard. Hard to get the perfect TV show underway. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.
