ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thick blanket of fog. Thick, thick blanket of fog. I drove through it. Thick. I was going to say it was a duvet of fog. Thick blanket of fog. A thick doona. Mark my words, there'll be flight delays. There'll be cancellations. I think it's worse this morning than it was yesterday. There were a lot of flights delayed and cancelled yesterday.

Ferries won't be sailing. Cars won't be driving. It'll be absolute carnage out here. It will be. Birds won't be tweeting. Are you sure? Absolutely positive. Well, great news.

As you heard Arnie mention, New Zealand into the final of their Cricket World Cup, beating India. Swatching some of the highlights now. It's getting through to the final overs. Oh, this is great. It's better watching. I like it when you watch the highlights as opposed to watching the game. You get so angry watching the game.

But now you know the outcome and you're watching it back. It's better. I know because you know we're going to win. Yeah. So there's less stress watching. I mean, like you. You get very angry. Because I'm less stressed. Yeah. Yeah. So there's less stress watching. I mean, like you. Or me. You get very angry. Because I'm less stressed.

Yeah. Yeah. I just like it because it's over quicker. What of advertising around the ground for GoDaddy? What's that? Is that a sugar dating? Are they advertising sugar daddies at the cricket? GoDaddy.

That sounds... GoDaddy's been advertising in sports for ages. They had motor racing teams and everything, isn't it? Like a... It's where you register your domain name. It's a web hosting and everything, isn't it like a, it's where you register your domain name. It's a web hosting. Oh, I thought it was a bit weird,

like advertising for Sugar Daddy. Have you ever typed in the wrong web address and it comes up? It's like, would you like to register this domain or something? It's GoDaddy.

Oh, I just saw they were asking if I wanted a Sugar Daddy. GoDaddy. GoDaddy wanted a sugar daddy. Go daddy. Go daddy. Go daddy. Go daddy. No. Go daddy.

Everybody give us your hottest go daddy. Megan, give us your hottest go daddy. Fletch, give us your hottest go daddy. Anya, you're in. I'm traumatised from what you just did. Give us a hot... Absolutely not. Give us a go daddy. I need to pop to the low for a quick spew after listening to yours.

Caitlin, do you want to give us a quick go daddy? Caitlin, do you want to give us a quick go, daddy? James, do you want to give us a quick... Oh, you can all get stuck. I kind of want to hear James say it. I want to hear James say it too. I want to hear James say go, daddy. James, James, James. Come on, James.

Come on, James. How is it supposed to be said seductively? However you want. I know like... Well, you can say it seductively if you want. We're all going for raunchy. That'd be weird. Raunchy. I reckon raunchy or seductively, James.

Do it. Go, daddy. Holy moly. We should all just go home now. Good Lord. I don't know if we're going to beat that. Holy hell. Well, on that, we've got Jimmy Neesham.

Are you fanning your private? Fanning my private. Jimmy Neesham, Black Cab is on the phone with us before 7 o'clock. Penis is desperately trying to turn itself into a vagina. Oh, God. We're off to a strong start. One of those shows today. Strong start.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, story time. As always, three news headlines for interesting, odd, quirky news stories. And Vaughan and Megan, pick one of the following three. Headline one, world's biggest, stripped of title.

Headline two, man's cunning car park plan busted. And headline three, baby alligator in the passenger seat. Baby alligator. The world's biggest, is that the volcano? The volcano. Yes, it is born. A volcano that's been stripped of its title because it's not, it's all how it's formed.

Yeah, it was a type of volcano, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was cheating. Yeah. It was cheating. It was cheating. It was cheating.

Yeah. It was a cheater cheater pumpkin eater town melter place destroyer volcano yeah okay so number two man's cunning car park plan busted i told you what i learned the other day no i was um i'm sure you will though here we go strap in i was we've been putting together this TV show. Have you been paying attention? It starts two weeks yesterday. TV2. You'll see the ads.

And they told me when Hosking worked at TVNZ, because it's a real tight car park. It's like there's part of the car park that looks like it's the underground part of Chernobyl from the TV show. Okay. They could have filmed part of it there. Yeah, right. Very tight car parks.

Hosking used to get two and park right in the middle. from the TV show. Okay. They could have filmed part of it there. Yeah, right. Very tight car parks. Yeah. Hosking used to get two and park right in the middle. Because he didn't want anything Because he got nice cars and he didn't want anything to happen to his cars. You are kidding. Nah.

That is out of control. How does he just like demand these things and everyone's like, yes, Mr. Hosking. Yes. Yes. That is out of control.

Loose. Loose. I've actually been in that car park. It is very tiny. Horrible. Yeah, horrible. I mean, if in that car bug. It is very tiny. Horrible. Yeah, horrible. I mean, if you can demand these things, then why not? Oh, exactly.

I'd demand something, I don't know, better. I mean, do you want to scratch his whatever fancy car he chooses to drive today? Yeah, but I could have a spa pool in my office. We talked the other day about if he'd ever owned a Lambo. I asked Kate Hawksby, his wife. I love how you ask Kate, you don't ask Mike. Well, he doesn't have social media oh yeah true

no he's never owned a Lamborghini but he'd love to it's one of his last European brands that he's not owned oh my last European brands

that I haven't owned all of them all of them oh oh actually all of them I own a 1967 Land Rover it's not going anywhere.

But my name's on the ownership titles. Is that classed as a? Until Brexit. And then it's not. Right, okay. And then I'm back to bloody zero on the European car ownership. It doesn't have a war on a fitness team. No, God no.

It doesn't even have wheels at the moment. Okay. Well, do you want man's cunning car park plan busted or baby alligator in the passenger seat? Baby alligator. Car park plan. Okay, fight it out. Car park plan.

What's the car park plan one? Man's cunning car park plan busted. It's a mouthful. Okay. You want that one? Yeah, I'll just Google the alligator. We go now to New York where a billionaire

hedge fund man who lives in New York is in trouble for his brazen annexation. Is that how you say that word? Annexation. Yep. Annexation of public

space. I'm going to show you the entrance to his garage there in New York. Megan, describe the picture. There's a big black, is that windows or is it a, it's a big black door. Yeah, okay. And describe in front of that. In front of it is a footpath. A footpath and then the part of the curb where it dips down so you can drive your car on. Correct.

Good describing, Vaughn. That's a general driveway. Well, that apparently isn't a garage door. And he did that himself. That dip down as to show you can drive in because that's where he parks every day. In front of that. Oh, wow. Nobody else parks there because...

This is like the time I wanted to put dotted yellow lines outside my house. Yeah, I know. So no one else parks there because they think, well, that's a garage door. That's their driveway. Access, yeah. But he gets home and he's like, well, there's my parking spot right in front of my front door, which looks like a garage door. That's actually genius.

I know. He's not in trouble, is he? Well, so he renovated the entire apartment block. It's a massive building. That's actually genius. I know. He's not in trouble, is he? Well, so he renovated the entire apartment block. It's a massive building because he's a billionaire. And he did the front curb as well and then just dipped it down to make it look like a driveway. So no one parks it except him. Because it looks like you're parking it in a driveway.

Yeah, yeah. But he hasn't like put yellow lines or anything. It's not cheap enough to get, I'm imagining it's not cheap to hire the concrete curb-making machine and to make that. Surely he could actually,

like, do something to his apartment where he could fit a car in. Maybe, but I mean, it is Washington. It is, like, New York. Downtown New York. Yeah, true.

It's kind of hard, isn't it? So I'm thinking that when he got no parking notices, because he's a billionaire, he was just like, eh. But why is he getting no parking notices? Because he's technically still parking over a driveway. He's parking over a driveway, but it's his driveway. So he's not going to get himself towed, but he might get a ticket.

Because you can't drive anywhere in there. To the parking wardens walking down the road it still looks like a driveway. So apparently a neighbour who had a Toyota Camry towed, he decided to have a look into this and that's when it all became kind of unravelled. And he's feuded with security

at the house because the guy has security who tells people to shoo away if they try to park there. Oh my God. And apparently it's been ongoing this feud feud, for like three years now. It's quite a fascinating story. Why doesn't he just buy, like, next time his neighbour's house goes up for such a stuff?

He sounds like he's got enough money to buy it. Yeah, I don't know. Well, no, apparently he has bought the entire block as it is. And there's even a sign on the door that says no parking active driveway. But it's not. It's just a front door that looks like a driveway. It's quite genius. You've got to hand it

to the man. Yeah, that is genius. How rich people pass their time, eh? That and managing bajillion dollar hedge funds. That's true. For sure.

Now there's a new Toy Story movie out, Toy Story 4. Planning on going in. Yeah, you loved it. Everyone's loving it. I haven't seen it yet. I loved it. I'm a massive Toy Story movie out. Toy Story 4. Planning on going. Yeah, you loved it. Everyone's loving it. I haven't seen it yet. I loved it. I'm a massive Toy Story fan. Toy Story 3. Oh, the tears. Gosh, I laughed. It's so

good. It's always good. All four. I don't know if I've forgotten how good the others were. This was just really good. So there's a few new characters introduced, one of which is Forky. Now Forky is a spork turned into a toy with pipe cleaners for arms

and eyebrows drawn on and googly eyes stuck on. This sort of stuff, literally your kids bring home from kindy and they're like, I've made it. I've made something. Great from Disney. And I've only just learnt you're not supposed to say to your kids like, what is that? Because then it takes their you know, it makes them feel stink that what they've made isn't. Yeah, but what if they've made something? You're supposed to ask to your kids, like, what is that? Because then it takes their, you know, it makes them feel stink

that what they've made isn't. Yeah, but what if they've made something. You're supposed to ask questions that give you clues. Oh, right. What is this? Like, August will show me a drawing and I'll be like, this is really great. And she'll be like, thanks.

Talk me through it. Yeah, yeah. I'll be like, what made you pick that as the colour? Hoping that I'm going to hear the word. But then you have to break the news to her that dolphins aren't purple. Aren't they though? I was thinking purple dolphins too. Oh, my gosh have to break the news to her that dolphins aren't purple. Aren't they though? I was thinking purple dolphins too. Oh my gosh.

Oh my God, why? I don't know. And then you have to break the news that you're not going to put it on the fridge. She told me the other day her favourite thing to do draws volcanoes. And she does have some great volcanoes. Oh yeah.

And I said to her, why are volcanoes your favourite? And she said, because they're easy. I was about to say. I was like, I can't fuck you. You are my daughter. She can nail it. You found something that looked easy,

but actually gave everybody else the appearance that you'd put some thought in. Yeah. Really, you just went for the easiest option. Oh, she's great. Yeah. Yeah. Really, you just went for the easiest option. Oh, she's great. Yeah. Yeah. And so Forky is in Toy Story,

but as with previous Toy Stories, the actual toys get released as toys. Mm. Okay. Buzz Lightyear, Woody,

they've all been actual toys. The big bad pink bear from the third movie, they've all been actual toys. This is literally just junk.

And that's the idea of the character, right? He thinks he's trash. And Woody's like, no, you're a toy now. So they released Forky. Yeah. But the eyes fall off. Oh, no. Much like the actual Forky.

Right. But that becomes a choking hazard. Yeah, kids could choke. Yeah. Yeah. So, and the broken lolly stick on the feet. Like everything about this huckery chucked together. Yeah, right.

The toy from the movie is actually coming to fruition in real life. So he battles with the fact that he's trash in the movie, but then now he's been released outside of the movie as an actual toy. He's trash. And it's still trash. Oh. Forky. He's trash. And it's still trash. Oh. Forky. Poor Forky.

But I think it's actually quite, like, it's quite brilliant. Yeah. They haven't recalled him, so it's obviously costing them money. But at the same time, perfect. Yeah. And very poetic. Yeah. And the fact.

So if you've got a Forky, just watch the eyes. And when you throw him away, you know that he'll feel at home. He won't be upset about it. Yeah. Oh, you have to go see us. Just so good. So good. I got a plastic fork the other day when I ordered food from someone,

and I was like, weird. Like, I just would have thought no one was giving out plastic forks anymore. Then I thought, also brilliant, because now everyone gets to make a forky. So they're technically reusable. Yes. Yes. Yes. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, 629.

Apologies for that. I told Fletch I had a coughing fit the other day, like a proper one. I couldn't stop myself. Sade thought I was going to die. My eyes were like watering. I'm pretty sure there was blood in my throat. I just couldn't stop. Such a drama

queen. I would have thought I was a drama queen, but Sade even started to freak out a little bit. What are you doing? Stop! Stop! I was like, I can't stop. I can't stop. Even just then, you'd be like, you're like, No, because you know you've got to

give it a good. I'm moving. The Black Cats are into The final of the Cricket World Cup Jimmy Nesham is on the show With us before seven Do you remember 2017

Paddles the Cat This was the first cat Of the nation This was before The nation had Neve Jacinda's cat And it had the extra paw Didn't it

Yeah And an Instagram Ambidextrous Didn't have an extra paw mate No it had an extra finger What do you call it Yeah, and the Instagram. It didn't have an extra paw, mate. No, it had an extra finger. What do you call it? It was just a six-fingered cat. A bit extra.

A poseable thumb cat. Oh, right, okay. You look like this is news to you. Well, it had something, didn't it? It didn't have an extra paw. Oh, didn't it? But what did it have? It had an extra finger.

Oh, okay, right. Because isn't that a thing? There's cats with like four and then there's cats with five. The cats with five can hold things and send text messages. Right. So it was run over and it was quite sad and the nation kind of went into a little bit of mourning because I think she'd just become Prime Minister.

Yeah, and wasn't it like a hit and run? Like someone just took off? They left, yeah. Well, it turns out it's come to light over the last couple of days that the person who actually ran over or hit Hal's the cat made contact with the Prime Minister soon after. Right. But the Prime Minister just kept it on the down low.

But I thought there was a witch hunt. There was a witch hunt. We were all like, who could do this? There was a witch hunt. Well, apparently the person said that they clipped the cat when the cat was running across the road, stopped to look for it. But you know how cats often, like, they're gone. Yeah, yeah.

And couldn't find the cat. So the cat had, like, dragged itself away to pass away. So this person apparently made contact with the Prime Minister and said, I'm really sorry. And just sent a message back saying saying i'm sorry you had to go through this and that everybody's like witch hunting and stuff so all these years later we found out that it was that there was no need for a witch hunt someone did come forward she just kept it on the deal yeah yeah right because i'd be like i know who it is it's this

person on instagram can you run slide into their d? And tell them what a horrible person they are. My petals is gone. That's pretty nice to not say anything. Because how would you feel if Leo was? I'd be like, sorry, where do you live? I'm just going to come around. Give you a piece of my mind. Yeah.

A poison laced brownie. No, I wouldn't do that. Reason 87 why Megan's not Prime Minister We only up to 87 Oh no we've gone back So the last 87's no longer void Yeah From the ZM think tank

This is the top six 6,000 traps Have been set in the Wellington region Will be set in the Wellington region, will be set in the Wellington region, in what is going to be the first attempt of a city to become pest-free. I mean, it's a big task, but I love that they're doing it. I've heard that some of these rats are, like, giant. Big rats.

It was a massive season for rats because of how long the summer lasted. Right. And so all the things they feed off were kind of producing fruit and everything for a long time. Right. I'll put my hand up and admit that. The rats. Have you ever had a macadamia nut tree when you were growing up? No.

It's a place we moved into. It's got a couple. They're crazy. They're the hardest things to get into. Yeah. And I thought they were coming right in summer, but they're not even ready yet. But the rats have been eating them since summer. So there's the problem.

Right. They've just had this bloody smorgasbord of macadamia nuts. And they're being any bigger and more powerful. And they'll take over the world soon. And there's no stopping them. Well, Wellington's going to give it a go because they wanted to make the Miramar Peninsula completely pest free and then they were just going to move it back. Right.

Which I like the idea of. Is it even possible? Like these things breed like crazy. Like rats. Like rats, yeah. But to move it back. Right. Which I like the idea of. Is it even possible? Like, these things breed like crazy. Like rats. Like rats, yeah. But we can only try. Now, the news footage I saw of this, they had all their jars of peanut butter, because you get the peanut butter and you put a dollop on the trap.

Yeah. They were using, some of them were using Peck's peanut butter. The ooh-la-la peanut butter. Well, it is the rat's last meal. Oh, my God. You want it to be good. You want it to be good. You want it to be good. Just that.

Oh, that's good peanut cracker. Yeah. You're right. What are they going to do with all the dead rats? God, they're going to stink. Yuck. They don't want to hope they don't get wet. Oh, dead rat.

Is there any animal that they can feed the dead rats to? Yeah. At the zoo? Take them to the zoo? Yeah, take them to the zoo. Maybe. Unless you poison the rats. Don't poison. No, they're not poisoned. As long as they're not poisoned. Yeah.

Don't poison them. No, they're just eating peanut butter and then getting... Because there would be like popcorn for like lions and tigers, wouldn't it? Oh, it'd just be like... A bucket of rats. Like a chicken popcorn from KFC. Yeah. Delish.

A wicked wing. Well, with 6,000 traps out... You're right. Coat them in hot and spicy. Sorry, go on, carry on. But do lions like hot and spicy? I don't know. Because if we coat them and make them and then they don't

eat them, what a waste. It'll be a waste, yeah. We'll have to eat them. Has anyone actually tried rat? Yuck, no. Well, I hope not. They eat it in some parts of the world. Waste not, want not. Are the top six types of rat traps they can set in Wellington? If they're making 6,000, they might as well chuck these on board.

Number six, mousetrap the board game, but with spikes. Okay. So the rat goes on the thing, and then you start winding the handle, and then it all happens. The ball rolls down the ramp. The man dives into the bucket. The ball falls. The trap goes stab because you put some spikes on it.

That game looks so fun on the ad. Yeah. And then you get it, and you're just like, this sucks. Oh, you should see the modern one. The modern one's a real piece of shit. Excuse my French. Okay. Because at least the last one had, like, moving parts.

Yeah. Like, the last one had 18 moving parts. Right. This one's got none. Oh, no, no, it's got, like, four. Right. Okay. It's PC madness. PC madness, like. It's on tape.

It's bureaucracy gone crazy. Number five on the list of the top six types of rat traps they can set in Wellington are Netflix for rats, the trap. Okay. They'll be too busy binge-watching all the shows to eat native birds or have sex and make more rats. It's a great idea. Yeah. That'll get them.

Yeah, they'll be like, are you still watching? And they'll be like, oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm here. I'm a rat. What else I got to do?

Number four on the list of the top six type of rat traps I can set in Wellington if they're setting 6,000. Get them signed up for a gym membership. Those are the hardest things to get out of all time.

Am I right? Yeah. It's like a financial trap. You're like, I've got to start going. I've been playing this much. Maybe tomorrow. Number three on the list

of the top six types of rat traps they can set in Wellington are, so get in the rat's ear. Yeah. Maybe it's like a fake rat, like a dummy decoy rat.

Yeah. That goes around telling all the other rats they should have a podcast and then the rats will think about it for ages and spend all their time making the podcast. And then when no one downloads their podcast

because the market for podcasts is flooded, they will just die. Are you jealous you don't have a podcast? We've got a podcast. It's the best sort of podcast. It's just this show as a podcast. Like, literally no extra work is required on my behalf. This is true.

Number two on the list of the top six types of rat traps they can set in Wellington are get a rat westfield. Okay. Have you ever been stuck in one of those? God, it feels like a trap you're never going to get out of. Well, yeah, they don't put the clock up, do they? It's a maze. No, and don't put a food court in there.

Those ones overseas, like in Australia, where the escalators go up one way and then they put the down one way on the other side of the mall. You've got to find another way out of it. You've got to find the... Yeah, it's a trap. I know that they do it on purpose, but it passes me off. Yeah.

Do you pay more for the shops in between the escalators? You surely would. You're getting so much more fortune. And number one on the list of the top six types of rat traps to set in Wellington, a honey trap. That's where sexy rats lure in other rats and then lock them into a life of monogamy and make them get a five-day-a-week, nine-to-five job. Sounds horrible. And the rats will just beweek, nine-to-five job. Sounds horrible.

And the rats will just be like, man, I wish I was still a rat. That is today's top six. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Off the back of a Black Caps victory this morning and locking in a place in the final for the Cricket World Cup, we're joined on the show by Jimmy Neesham. Good morning.

Morning, guys. How's it going? Good. Now, that was, I. How's it going? Good. Good. Now, that was, I've got to admit, I went to bed last night. I was thinking, this is going to be an interesting day for the Black Caps. Woke up and you'd won already. Well, you didn't stay up. Mate, I'm going to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning.

I was hoping to catch you here. I'd say if origin was on, the Black Caps were on, I thought you guys would stay up all nighter and then just sleep at like nine o'clock. You know what? I would have done that if I'd known the result pre-bed. Well, if you'd known the result pre-bed, you could have put some money on it as well and you would have made up.

So that, God bless that little shower of rain that postponed it from the night before. How was that 24-hour stand down between the rain delay and actually finishing the match? What happened in that time? Oh, look, to be honest, we were a little bit worried about it, to be fair. I think we played the first half of the game yesterday and it was really difficult to bat on and the guys really struggled

and we sort of got ourselves through to a good total and we were actually quite worried over the 24 hours that the pitch would quicken up and get a bit easier for batting. But we're pretty happy that we came out today and it was a similar sort of wicket. And the guys up front, Trent Bolt, Matt Henry, started superbly. And, yeah, obviously came away with the results.

We're pretty stoked. And the crowd apparently felt like or sounded like an Indian home crowd. How was that crowd when you won? Silent. We were pretty prepared for that. I think when you play the likes of India and Pakistan and Bangladesh, pretty much anywhere in the world, it feels like an away game. I think we played India in a T20 at Eden Park last summer

and there were sort of 35,000 Indian fans there. So you're prepared for that. And you know what the sound's going to be like. And it's just pretty good to hear the guys telling you that you're going to be on a flight, NZ1, to LA at 10 o'clock the next night. And to pull one away, it's pretty pleasing. So, OK, so England or Australia? Who do you guys want to play in the final?

Look, it doesn't bother us, to be fair. I think there's sort of pros and cons of both sides. Obviously, Aussie are the old foe, and we'd love to get one up on them after four years ago as well. But England as well, it's their home World Cup, and there'd be a whole lot of pressure on them if they qualify for the final too. So we're not too concerned about that.

We'll obviously be watching on, I think it's Thursday, for that final. So we'll obviously be watching that game. But we've sort of had a bit of a mantra from this tournament that we just prepare the best way we prepare. And whatever we come up against on the day, we'll prepare for that, hopefully. Is it too late to request to play

Afghanistan in the final? We can try. I mean, according to the media 24 hours ago, we weren't going to be in the final either, so I'm pretty sure it's pretty fine. We didn't say that, Jimmy, we weren't going to be the final either. So I'm pretty sure it's pretty fine. Hey, not us.

We didn't say that, Jimmy. We didn't say that. We weren't that media. That's a different media. Well, I'm just glad that I don't have to eat cockroaches in this interview. Well, you spoke too soon. Because if you open the door, there's someone out there with a batch of cockroaches. No, not at all. Can you tell us how Guppy's doing after that photo that went round?

Because he looked really sad. He needed a wee cuddle. Oh, yeah. We got him behind him. I think Guppy's one of those guys who obviously gives everything for the team and he would desperately want to have scored more runs in the tournament than he has. But today he pulled out one of the best run-ups I've ever seen to win the game for us and basically win the game.

But we've got a bit of a policy in our team that it's not about the runs you score or the wickets you take. It's about trying to contribute to the team. Whether it be with a good piece of fielding or giving throw-downs or whatever, it's about trying to make the team win. He's been pretty stoked on the bus

and I'm sure he'll carry that confidence into the next game. We've got full confidence in him coming out in the final and doing some stuff for us on the field. So when is the next one? How many hours? What's the countdown, and what are you guys doing between then and now?

So it's Sunday at Lord's, a pretty significant day for us. So, yeah, we'll train down to London tomorrow morning, bright and early, and I think we'll have a day off the rest of that day and then get into training and stay pretty level and as I mentioned before prepare for the

next game just like any other game as we have in the tournament so far. Alright well we're very excited about the final.

Jimmy Nasham thanks so much for taking the time out to talk to us and good luck for the final. Cool thanks guys.

ZM's Fletch Vaughan and Megan the podcast. Producer Caitlin your flatmate her parents were away on holiday yesterday. They're going to Raro, I think.

So they booked in the cat, the dog. They were taking, you know, packed everything up, said goodbye to their grandchildren. This is great. Goodbye to my flatmate. This is great. Taking their car to book it into the overstay for however long they're going for a couple of weeks and then they actually realise that they're leaving today, not

yesterday. This is brilliant. What did they do? I don't know, I think they just turned around and came back home. I'd camp up at that hotel they've got out there. At the airport hotel. Just have a night there. Have a fancy night together.

I've always wanted to stay there. Do the airport hotel. Just have a night there. Have a fancy night together. I've always wanted to have some crispy cream. Do a whole tray. Make a day at the airport. Which when we were kids was our worst nightmare because I've said this before but our parents used to promise us Rambo's Inn and then get up and there'd be a slight drizzle and mum would be like, we're not paying to go in the rain. We'll go to the airport

for the day. And we'd go to the airport and like. Sit and watch the planes. Yeah. This is before parking was $8,000 a day. Yeah. Yeah. And just like we'd have lunch there and we'd look around and look at the shops and stuff.

Look at the shops. Not actually buy anything. Well, no, because we weren't going anywhere, so we didn't have access to the duty-free discounts. That is such a pop-up holiday. But now it kind of seems appealing. You always rush through. They have access to the duty-free discounts. That is such a pop-up holiday. But now it kind of seems appealing. You always rush through.

Like I'd park up in that airport and watch the planes take off in the hotel there for the night. It's thrilling. Because if they've already got everything all sorted, if the house has been looked after, if the car's parked, yeah, a lot of admin to rebook. And better that they were a whole day early than a whole day late. And that's what we wanted to ask this morning. We wanted to take your calls on your travel whoopsies.

Because apparently it's more frequent travellers that are so, you know, because they fly so much, they're the people that actually leave their passports at home the most. Because they get, like, blasé about it. Yeah, they're just like, oh, when's my flight? It's today, it's later sometime. Yeah, right. God, I've got to renew my passport. Thank you for the most. Because they get, like, blasé about it. Yeah, they're just like, oh, when's my flight? It's today. It's later sometime. Yeah, right. I've got to renew my passport.

Thank you for the reminder. Oh, my God. You go on holiday in, like, four weeks. I know. You make me so... Does your wife know this? Yeah. She keeps saying every day.

And I lied yesterday. I said, yeah, I've done it. Just because she wouldn't stop going on about it. Okay, I'm going to make you do it. Okay. As your work wife, I'm going to sort that out because I know how anxious Sade will be

that you haven't done it yet. Yeah. But things like that, like getting to the airport, have you ever had a whoopsie where you've absolutely dropped the ball on something? Or maybe you're a high one I want to hear from those people

who miss their flight by like a whole month or day. Well, we were booked flights once for work by an old workmate. And he's like, I don't know why I got these so cheap. And we turned up to the airport and it's because he'd booked them a year in advance. And we didn't have flights go anywhere that day. That was for next year.

We did have some flights booked for next year. But it was great. We got to use those for just a personal holiday the next year, didn't we? day. That was for next year. We did have some flights booked for next year. But it was great. We got to use those for just a personal holiday the next year, didn't we? Yes. It was great. Yes. Because they got to get a refund. Yeah.

But yeah, how much have you messed up your travel? Have you had a travel whoopsie? Oh, $800 at M. 9696. Megan? This is why I get travel agents to do it. And I've never forgotten my passport. I'm pretty like, because I get real anxious and I like triple check like five times.

Times, right. Wait, I triple check five times. So you check 15 times. I check 15 times to see if I've got my passport. Definitely leaving today? Yeah, knock on wood, it hasn't happened to me. Definitely leaving. Vaughn, I feel like no, because your wife's all over everything.

Because everyone you surround yourself with looks after you. Yeah, that's just my thing. You're a child. You need looking after. Yeah. So how bad have you messed up travel-wise? Have you had a travel whoopsie? 0800 DALES AT M 9696.

Give us a call or a text now. Producer Caitlin, her flatmate's parents said goodbye yesterday. They were off on their Rarotongan holiday. The cat, the dog in the kennels. Say goodbye to everyone. Parked up at the

long-term parking and that's when they realised their flight's today and not yesterday. A little travel whoopsie but not a bad one because you can always come back the next day.

It's not like they were the day after. And Mangade Bridge has some lovely local accommodation. Doesn't it? Motor-ins and the like. Yeah. Lovely little pre-Rarotonga holiday to South Auckland.

Sure. Always think of the positives. Or just go home to your house, which is in the same city. Nah, it's so far away. So we want to know when you made a travel whoopsie. Maybe you turned up at the complete wrong time or place. Yeah, lots of lost passports, expired passports. Yeah.

That kind of stuff. We'll take some calls. Pete, what was your travel whoopsie? Hey, last year I was taking my wife over to the UK to meet the family for the first time. Yep. I had everything all booked. We were going through China, I think, on the way there.

And I checked my passport. It wasn't expiring, so it was all booked. We were going through China, I think, on the way there. And I checked my passport. It wasn't expiring, so it was all good. Turns out you need six months on your passport when you go through China, and I had six weeks. You went overseas with a passport with six weeks left on it. That makes me so anxious. I would have got a new one. We were in Auckland.

That was the worst part. We hadn't even left yet. And we booked this entire trip, so we had to reroute the entire thing to come back in. I had to cancel these trips to certain countries while we were over there. And my wife had never been past Rarotonga, so she was in tears at the booking office.

Oh, no. So are you in charge of booking the holidays from now on? Absolutely not. Yeah, I thought so. Hey, thanks for your call, Pete. Ella, what was your travel whoopsie? Hi, guys. I just want to say I listen to you every morning,

and you're such a fun show to listen to. Aw, I love that. You're a real bower, Stella. Well, so we went over to LA, and it was our first big family holiday. And on the way home, there was some issue with our pre-booked shuttle tickets because mum had pre-booked absolutely everything. Yeah.

And the guy, so we got out and the guy started arguing with mum and there was whatever was going on. And then he patted down his pocket and he'd accidentally locked his keys in the van. And so this was us having to like book in and um so my dad at this point like my dad's pretty calm guy but when he loses his his work he gets pretty angry and he almost threw one of those like baggage trolleys through the windscreen to be able to get into our um to be able to get into the shuttle to get our bags. But it didn't stop there.

So the people inside saw the commotion going on. And then we had about five or six armed security, like policemen and airport security turn up to be able to call a locksmith. And we were standing there for about 15 minutes with all these armed guards around us and stuff. And my little brother was only about 11 and I was about 16 or 17 and we just burst into tears and were so

terrified with what was going on. It was a bit of a crap way to end a holiday but no, it was good memories. Did you end up making the flight? We did, we did. Oh, yes. Yeah, luckily the Air New Zealand terminal

was just inside, so we were, yeah, yeah, quite lucky. Straight A. Imagine if Dad threw a trolley through the window and got arrested. I know.

And then he'd be taken away. You don't want to misbehave with an American airport. No. Ella, thanks so much for your call. Keegan, what was your travel whoopsie? Well, mine was just a little domestic flight,

nothing too serious. Mine was a result of being a bit too organised. So we got to the airport four hours before our domestic flight. Oh, God. And we thought, you know, that's what we thought. Oh, God, we've got so much time to waste. So we went to one of the little bars in the airport. We thought we'd get a few drinks and then, you know, head out for our flight. Yeah.

And, like, one minute'd get a few drinks and then, you know, head out for our flight. Yeah. And like one minute turned into a few more minutes and then we looked at our phones and we were like, oh, oh, dear me, our flight's gone. How many hours were you sitting there? Yeah, we just,

we were laughing too much and we were just having a good time. That is so funny. Really good at wasting time. That's brilliant. It doesn't matter what time. If we finish a show and go to the airport to fly somewhere, it doesn't matter what time of the day it is.

Someone will be drinking at the airport. It doesn't count. It doesn't count at the airport. No. Time doesn't count. It's like international time. It doesn't matter. Brilliant.

Keegan, thanks for your calls and texts. My auntie was flying back to London and mistook 12am for 12pm, dropped her off at the airport and they told her that it had gone or left. Oh no. She was well out. Instample has two airports.

I sent us to the wrong one. There were no flights left from that airport and I was like, uh-oh. So the time we got to the other airport, we were too late. Now, flight had left, but we needed to get back. So I had to fork out for business class tickets. Oh, ouch.

Bougie, though. Bougie. Real 1% of stuff. Hope you made the most of it. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, you'd make the most of it. If anybody has ever done staff travel, which is where if your friends and stuff work for the airlines, you do standby flights, you want people, stupid people like this,

to be turning up at the airport at the wrong time because then you get on. Yeah, right. It's great. On our wedding day, I realised my passport had expired and we were due to go to our honeymoon the next day. So I had to get a three-hour emergency passport and push out the wedding ceremony to stand in line

in a wedding dress to get my passport as an emergency one. God, these people do my head in as someone that is so organised it just makes me so anxious. I've already booked Vaughan in for a photo after work. We're getting his passport. For a passport. Getting the passport sorted. Vaughan's like, I'll just do it at home.

No. We're going after the show to the photo place. Because then you'll end up sending it back five times because the selfie's not good enough and they say like it's too close and they don't know the angle's not right. And it's like yeah but this is my best angle. Yeah but you were actually sending in selfies Megan with your arm in it. Yeah I know because I look super cute.

And with a good filter. No filters. What do you mean I can't have glasses and bunny ears? That's stupid. Somebody else said who knew Melbourne Had two airports Oh I don't Oh you know it does

You know Yeah It's the one It's Avalon It's where all the Jetstar flights go from A lot of them So you gotta check that

It's way out though I thought it was Closer to the city Than the other one No no it's not Oh okay It'd be Yeah nah it's not

Okay don't Just be aware That Melbourne has two airports. Just be aware, yeah. You've been warned. Yeah. I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to take a moment to say thanks to Spark for sponsoring the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast.

You can grab Spark's $29 prepaid rollover packs and get stacks of extra value. Back to the podcast. You know, it actually hasn't been in the news. We must be due for another news cycle involving tourists on South Island roads being stopped by locals, you know, in sort of like a vigilante traffic cop sort of way. Yeah. But there hasn't been one for a while.

But there has been a story about a Queenstown local builder who grabbed the keys, a tourist stopped on the side of the road between Glenorchy and Queenstown, which is quite windy. Oh, yeah. I mean, and there are places to stop. To be fair, there are, and they are quite signposted, like look out 200 metres or whatever. There's heaps of places to stop and they are very

picturesque but something about this particular spot took the tourists attention they were like I just have to stop

in the middle of the road right here so we stopped it so a Queenstown builder called Harry pulled over and he was just like this won't do

so rather than saying get back in your car and stop up there he threw his keys into the bush which only adds to the problem. Really, because now the car's stuck where you didn't think it was a good place to be. Stopped.

Now it's stuck in that bad place. Harry wasn't thinking. Yeah. Harry got a little bit angry. Having lived in central Otago for seven or eight months, you see the most craziest things on the road there. I've come around the corner and a camper van was doing, around a corner, was doing a three-point turn on a tiny road. You see cars on the wrong side of the road all the

time. You see people overtaking in the craziest places. So I know that people get very frustrated. And if that's your road that you drive to work or you know your family drive on that road, like I can see why you'd be so incensed. You're like, if it had been my kids or, you know, like someone taking my kids to school or whatever, that could have been a very different situation. But the judge said, unfortunately, there are stupid people on the road, but you can't be a vigilante. Oh, okay.

So what, has he been done for that? He admitted to one charge of disorderly behaviour and careless driving. Why is he getting careless driving? Harry. Well, I don't know. He must have

stopped in the middle of the road or something? Yeah, he stopped there as well. So, he got charged with careless driving and disorderly behaviour and possession of cannabis and possession of LSD. Oh. Okay, so if you're going to be a vigilante, clean the drugs from your pocket.

Clean the drugs out of your car. Like Batman. Yeah, yeah. He's on his way. He's like, Quiet night, Gotham tonight. No, it's like Quiet night Gotham tonight And then it's like The light goes on

He's like Get rid of that Sprays a little easy He's in the bathroom He's just a bit like Get rid of that Bought some Britney Spears Robin

Crank the AC mate We're gonna need it Then Batman turns up And you're like And he's like Got him Robin, crank the AC, mate. We're going to need it. Then Batman turns up and you're like. And he's like, got him. Got him. Got him.

Got him. We're off back to the Batcave for some burger rings if you guys have got. Are you wasted, Batman? What? Me. How do they know? Did you hotbox the Batmobile? Am I talking out loud? This is just how I talk on Batman.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Batmobile? Am I talking out loud? This is just how I talk on Batmobile. So we all know that people lie on dashing apps. I mean, little white lies are fine, maybe. I'm six foot. You look five. I'm six foot. Okay, I'm five foot. So there is... She's a pretty basic dress.

Yeah, I mean, I was talking like little white ladies. Five, ten. Giving yourself the round up. Yeah, like rounding up. But there's been a list released of the most common lies, this is for men and women, on dating apps. The number one, which she actually just covered, is height. Both men and women lie about their height frequently

in dating profiles. It's easy to understand why guys do that because girls always go on about, like, he has to be tall. What they mean by that is, he has to be taller than me. And then they find out that that doesn't actually matter. But then, like, producer Caitlin always said, I want a guy taller than me. Now your boyfriend's shorter than you

and you're all in love and lovey-dovey. Yeah, I'm actually okay with that. Who have we said in love yet? No, we're not talking about this. Remember I told you. No, I know, but just the way Fletch said it, I thought I'd missed it. Yeah, big announcement.

No, she's going to tell us when they drop the elbow. Okay, look. Did you find, though, that guys, was it a big deal on dating apps when you were on the Bumble and the Tinders for the height thing? Yeah. Did you lie and say you were shorter? No,

but lots of men would put in their bios how tall they were and then they'd always have a little line like so I can guarantee I'm taller than you. And were they always? Sometimes they weren't. Yeah, right. Because I'm quite tall. You are, yeah. Yeah. But Caitlin and my ex-husband was shorter than me, so

we're both like, I mean that didn't work out, but it was unrelated to his height. But I mean, ex-husband was shorter than me, so we're both like, I mean, that didn't work out, but it was unrelated to his height. But I mean, we're both examples of like, the guy does not have to be taller. I see myself as Sophie Turner and my boyfriend is Joe Jonas. How tall is Sophie Turner? She's real tall. Well, Joe Jonas is just quite short.

I think I Googled it. And I think I found out that they're actually not that much. She's 175. Oh, I'm taller than her. Joe Jonas, he's been in studio. He didn't look short. No. He's 1.7.

Okay, so he is a little bit shorter than her. So she has some heels. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So number two is along the same lines. It's a physical thing. Men and women are lying about their weight. Who's putting their weight on the dating profile?

Yeah, leave that blank. Or is it just in conversation you're like, I'm like size blah, blah, blah or whatever. But then size doesn't indicate weight. No. So yeah, apparently both men and women do it. They say that they're... I'm 89 kgs, but weight just... But it's mostly muscle.

Hear me out. I've got my phone in my pocket and my wallet. I've got my shoes on. And muscles give you the fat. I'm wet. Also, there'd be guys. I reckon there'd be guys as well. I'm just trying to think what else.

Like a sponge. Like a sponge. You weigh more when you're wet. Yeah. That's what I meant. You just, there'd be guys. I reckon there'd be guys as well. I'm just trying to think what else. Like a sponge. Obviously, that would be. Like a sponge. Like, you weigh more when you're wet. Yeah. That's what I meant. You just got out of the pool. Yeah, yeah.

How much heavier? I'm in a wet cardigan. Yeah. Wet cardigan. Make sure they know when you say that as part of the conversation. There'd also be guys that round up their weight, too, because they want to be heavier. They might want to be more bulkier, so they might add 5kgs on. The trouble is, like, you're going to meet up if because they want to be heavier. They might want to be more bulkier so they might add 5kgs on.

The trouble is, like, you're going to meet up if it's going to... But no one's getting out scales, are they? No one's going to know a 5kg difference, are they? And what does that matter? Like, it doesn't mean anything, really. The third one, again, this is baffling, but it doesn't have anything to do with physical appearance. The third thing that men and women lie about,

the common lie on a dating app, is status or income. Who's discussing how much they earn? Yeah. I would almost say that if someone wanted to discuss how much I earn or someone was discussing how much they earn, that would be a big red flag for me. Yeah. What are you doing?

Producer Callum, did any guys ever say, I earn this much money? No. Yeah, but do you think that's a Kiwi thing? Because if someone said that, you'd instantly mow them down, right? Do you think it's straight up saying, I earn this much, or do you think it's insinuated with, like, embellishing your job, being like, I'm a manager? Oh, people definitely embellish.

So they're insinuating that they earn more. I guess that would come into status, you know, like, oh, I manage so many people and like... God, I'm glad I got a boyfriend, guys. It's a tough world out there. I wouldn't survive the Tinder world, that's for sure. It was hard. That's if anyone would

even swipe right. I'm just going to be the one going out. I'd just be swiping right and then they'd be like, oh, do you want to go for a drink? I'd be like, no. I'd just be swiping right and then they'd be like, oh, do you want to go for a drink? I'd be like, no. I'd be too anxious meeting strangers all the time. Yeah. I'd get to the door of the bar and be like, no, I'm not doing it.

Turn around and go away. Fletch, how do you get on? Absolutely no problems to report. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now, it was about yesterday, about this time yesterday on the show when we discussed the appropriate or inappropriate nature of Megan's comment on a Instagram post by Jack Tame, broadcaster. It was a fashion shoot for the Metro magazine.

He looked very dapper. Many different outfits. He looked great. Megan wrote, so fash baby heart. Now we asked you to go along and see how you felt that fit into the... No, you didn't. You asked people to comment on the inappropriate nature. I think we should look at the intention that was behind the comment.

It was very inappropriate. You should have said babes. And usually I do, but in the heat of the moment... You're a married woman. It just came across as creepy, is all we're saying. Also, a little condescending. Oh, I was just trying to be supportive. Well, I mean, those are our thoughts.

So we thought we'd get the thoughts from the man himself, Jack Tone, on the phone. Good morning. Good morning. Oh, my God. Did you wonder yesterday why all of a sudden you had more followers and like a couple of hundred comments on this post? Yeah, but I mean, I was surprised,

but then I also wasn't because here's the thing, I did this fashion shoot and then everyone was commenting, like Vaughn commented and he was married and I was like, oh, that's all good. And then Matilda Rice commented and I was like, she's with, ah, that's all good. And then Megan commented and commented, and I was like, she's with art, that's all good.

And then Megan commented, and I was like, I see you, girl. You know? Did you? Oh, my God. I see you. Thank you. Did you actually see that comment initially?

Yeah, well, only because you'd been liking all of my old photos over the last couple of weeks, you know, like going down in my archive. Well, well, well, the plot don't thicken. Oh, did you guys not talk about that? No, no. Oh. Megan.

Oh, yeah, no, no. I just, yeah, I came across it by chance. Yeah, and I thought. Megan's gone very red. Megan, you've got to spread these likes out, you do. One one day, one the next. No. Give some people some time to spread these likes out, you do. One one day, one the next. Please, no. Give some people some time to get between you and all these likes.

I was just being supportive. That's okay, Jack. Definitely creepy. So, because, how do you feel about it? I mean, look, I'm all about a big love. So, you know, I feel very positive about it. No, no, no. Let's see.

You know, I have met Megan and her husband on many occasions. And it's clear that. They're trying to light up a three-way. It's very clear to me now, actually. It's dawned on me. Even Andrew got in on it yesterday. So I was like, yo, you know, okay. You know, let's get together. Let me now, actually. It's dawned on me. Even Andrew got in on it yesterday. So I was like, yo, you know, okay, you know, let's get together. Let's talk, guys.

It's 2019, baby. It's 2019. Exactly. God, imagine if you're one of those, like, couples you see on 60 Minutes or that Sunday show and there are three of them and they all live together. They're all happy. Yeah. Try relationships.

Like Vicky, Christina, Barcelona. Like one of those sort of situations. Yes. Yeah, right. Yeah. But Megan, Andrew and Barcelona. Like one of those sort of situations. Yes. Yeah, right. Yeah. But Megan, Andrew and Jack. I mean, look, crazy things, guys. Oh, my God.

This took a turn. Even two on one, I still think she'd beat you both alive. She's got an insatiable hunger. Can you not? She's like the very hungry caterpillar. Day one, one red apple. Day two, Jack and Andrew. Oh, my God. Day three, Jack, one, one red apple. Day two, Jack and Andrew. Oh, my God.

Day three, Jack, Andrew, and the red apple. Oh, my God. My dad loves Jack, so he'll be in on this, too. Oh, hang on. It's 2019, but that's too far. Oh, no, it didn't mean. Okay. Oh, my God.

Banter. Banter. I'm never liking your pictures ever again, by the. Banter. Banter. I'm never liking your pictures ever again, by the way, Jack. No, I appreciate it. I really, look, being in fashion shoots isn't my natural domain, so I very much appreciate your support, Megan. Yeah, no worries. Well, you can no doubt count on it in the future.

Jack Tame, thank you so much for taking the time this morning to embarrass Megan. We really appreciate it. Thanks, Jack. Fleshforn and Megan, the future. Jack Tame, thank you so much for taking the time this morning to embarrass Megan. We really appreciate it. Thanks, Jack. It's school holidays at the moment and you can tell because if you listen carefully at about two o'clock in the afternoon,

you can hear a bottle of shardies been opened. What, from parents across the country? Parents across the country who are just sick of repeating themselves. So I thought Oh you had these kids. Yeah no I totally chose to and the good times

always outweigh the bad. Not that there's been bad ones but I said to the girls at the start of the school holidays let's have a school holidays project.

Something we can work on. Okay. And we've been talking about for ages when we moved into our new place before we got the goats there was this

you remember those old swing sets you had when you were a kid? At one end, it would have a swing. The other, oh, the swing was in the middle and it had that two-seater swing thing. Yeah. And a slide at one end. We never had one of those. One of those. But it was like an A-frame.

Nana had one. Yep, situation. You guys didn't have one? No, Nana did. Oh, Nana had one. Yeah. And you didn't have one? Wait, Nana had one at her house.

Yeah, for all the grandies. To, like, get you over. Yeah, probably. Because of power play from Nan. That's a real lure. Slides and stuff. And then baking as well. Yeah, and lollies are.

She nailed it. And then when you're a teenager, she'll give you spirits. Let's pop around and see. She doesn't care. She'll do what it takes. And call you fat when you eat all the lollies. She'll do what it takes to get you around there. So there's one of those, and it was kind of broken, but it was still there.

And we've got the goats, and they are currently in what is the chicken shed. Okay. What the chickens are going to go into. So the school holiday project, the school holidays, is turning the old A-frame swing into a goat house. So the goats can move into that house. How are you doing this? Well, I've taken all the swings and stuff off it.

Okay. And then you're using that as a frame. Yeah. And it's going to be like an A-frame. You're right. And I'm going to put corrugated iron down the sides because we just had to replace some of our roof. But if I cut off the rusty bits,

it'll be bigger enough to go down the sides there. Okay. And I've made a floor, an elevated floor. I'm going to put some insulation under that because my goats deserve the best. And HIV. I'm not going to do underfloor heating. Yeah.

I've done the whole lot And en suite Because you don't want to have to go Too far from your bathroom at night To your bathroom at night So I was explaining to Indy How it was all going to work

Yep And she was like Alright I'm on board And I It started out really strong I had She would have blasted the

Would have blasted the frame Because it was like A little bit grimy and stuff So she would have blasted that It was going great She's on board I was like a little bit grimy and stuff so she water blasted that it was going great she's on board I was like this is great dad daughter bonding time

and then I taught her how to use one of those ratchet thingies do you even know nah is it not just a ratchet is it a ratchet it's where you put

the different sized thing on a nut and it goes she was like how does this work I was like well you turn it this way and it'll only turn it when it's undoing or you turn it this sized thing on a nut and it goes. She was like, how does this work? I was like, well, you turn it this way and it'll only turn it when it's undoing it. You turn it this way and it'll only do it when it's tightening. So that was quite magical.

You would have had to tighten them up anyway, wouldn't you? Waste of time her doing it. No, I had to undo them to get all the stuff off. So it was going well. And then she said she was bored and she walked away. So she's not on board. I was like, we haven't even started cutting the floor for the wood. She's like, oh, but what do you want me to do there?

I was like, well, you can measure it in like, you know, numbers and stuff. I'll tell you the number and you can measure it and put a little line at that number with the pencil and do the thing and I'll cut it. She was like, but yeah, you can do that. You can probably do that quicker. I was like, but yeah, you can do that. You can probably do that quicker. I was like, but it's not about how long it's taking, mate. It's a joint project. She's like, I'm just going to go inside and see if there's something to eat. I was like, okay.

She didn't come back out. She never came back out. And what's August doing? She didn't want to be involved from the get-go. She knows it's too much hard work. No, she went to the supermarket with her mum because she knew there was far more chance of a kinder surprise at the supermarket. She's evolved from the get-go. She knows it's too much hard work. No, she went to the supermarket with her mum because she knew there was far more chance of a kinder surprise. She's so smart.

Did she get a kinder surprise? No, she didn't get a kinder surprise. Oh, okay. She got to see the kinder surprises. Right. She knows that they're still there. That's good to know for the rest of the holidays. Okay.

That there's a kinder surprise. Yep. But I've got the floor all sorted. Okay. The planks are cut. Yep. The floor base is all sorted. The goat house is...

You know that goats can just live under a shelter. Like, you don't need all this. Shut your mouth. Humans can live under a shelter too, but we like our luxuries, don't we? And that was the... I actually said to Indy, I said, this is too big.

It's not even really a goat house anymore. It's like a hotel or a goat hell. And she was like, I don't know, what do you mean? Is that the moment she was like, I'm going inside? It might have been just before that, yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about the pool noodle. The pool noodle.

Oh, I use that like in acrobics. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, what's that? You use it when you're teaching, when you're taking your babies to swim class, you tie it around under their arms so they can't. The young and old love them. Yeah.

I saw a story just at the start of the week, and I think it was out of Australia, because it's winter there at the moment, people warning that. In Australia? Yeah, well, obviously. What a foreign concept. But I'm saying it's winter, so all the snakes are like,

and so they're going in the middle of pool noodles. Oh. Yeah, so there's like a warning if you're in Australia to put your pool noodles like inside of something. Or in the garage. That'd be a pretty thin snake. Yeah, well, you wouldn't be a boa constrictor or something. No.

It'd be a thin. But yeah, a normal snake could probably get in there. Boa constrictor would probably eat a pool noodle. Yeah, that'd look pretty funny. It'd be really straight. It's for one section. And it would try to like strangle something, but it couldn't because it's got the pool noodle in it. It would kind of get to a certain point and it would just like kick. Yeah. It's for one section. And it would try to like strangle something, but it couldn't because it's got the pool noodle in it. And it would kind of get to a certain point and it would just like kick. Yeah.

And then it goes in the pool and one section floats. And he's like, why can't I go down? Swimming along a bit. You know when you're like the back end of him's got more float, so it's pushing his head under. He's like. Then I just vomit a bit closer to my mouth so I can float and still be able to breathe. So I didn't know this, but the inventor of the pool noodle is a hotly contested issue.

There's two men, Rick Costa and Steve Hartman, and they both insist that they invented the pool noodle. Well, they can't have both invented it. Well, Rick Costa is now 72 years old. He is a retiree, and he feels he's been robbed of his legacy as the inventor of the toy that he called the water wobble. Okay. And the other man is Steve Hartman,

and he's the CEO of a company that's made pool noodles for decades, and he said, we can't have this guy running around saying he invented pool noodles and dragging my family's name through the muck and saying we've committed industrial espionage. Oh, wow. Okay, so there's a real fight here. Yeah, it's a really interesting story.

Costa had a series of ideas for floating noodles. He had sketches about, did they need things on the end? Okay. Like decorative things on the end? Were they too plain? Would children like them? He came up with the name Waddleaggle because it was a little bit of a slightly more excited one.

The early ones had a foam serpent head on it and stripes on it. Oh, yeah. But Hartman is saying, no, I invented the pool noodle because we specialise in foam products. Yeah. And we always had them around the home. And these in particular were foam tubing that we used in buildings and roadways. And one day one ended up in the pool and the kids just like played with it for ages.

And he was like, we should make this into a toy. And has done since. Do they have dates on either of their, could it just be a coincidence that they both came up with similar things? That's what I think, Megan. It's like so basic. Surely this could be a coincidence. Yeah. It's a very basic design.

It's not like they both accidentally invented something so crazy. Yeah. It's literally just a tube of foam. Imagine that. Just some pipe insulating foam falls in the pool. Yeah. And then you see your kids playing with it and all of a sudden you're like a bajillionaire. Yeah.

I'm going to go start chucking pink bats in various situations. Just household things. Being a fun toy. Yeah, right. Yeah, maybe like a cardigan made of pink bats. Personally, I can't see anything itchy or scratchy about that. That's why you're not a businessman, Vaughn. Well, not yet.

Not yet. Not yet. So today's fact of the day is there is an ongoing battle that's been going for about 30 years and the debate of who actually invented the pool noodle. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do- Now amongst them, one of the six was Magic Earring Ken. Yes. Immediately the gay community just found themselves an icon and gravitated towards Ken. Yeah.

When Mattel found out about this, worried due to the times that it might scare some people, they got him off the shelves. I wish they'd had a bit more government. It was 1993. It was a different time. It was a different time. They were freaking out. They were...

Whoever designed that, though, knew. Surely they knew they were creating, like, pride kin. Purple mesh shirt over the top of the purple mesh shirt, a purple vest, leather vest, swished back, blonde bleached hair, earrings in both ears, came with some earrings to wear as well. Immediately the gay community loved him. He got pulled off the shelves and has since become somewhat of a mythical creature of the Barbie landscape.

Well, I, when I read about this, immediately went onto eBay, found one, purchased a aforementioned... What was it, $35 US? $35 US, and it is currently being shipped. It's being shipped to the Global Shipping Centre. I got an email about it last night. Oh, exciting. So it's inbound.

Very much looking forward to meeting Magic Ken. What are you going to do with this? It's unopened in the box. You're going to put it in... Yep, new in box. Put it with your Star Wars toys in the attic? No, they're not in the attic. They're just in an area in. Yep, new in box. Put it with your Star Wars toys in the attic? No, they're not in the attic. They're just in an area in the closet.

Oh, right. In the wardrobe. Yeah, you can see why my wife loves my collections. But you actually heard from a lot of people yesterday that collect weird and wonderful things. Yeah. People said, I heard from one person that had always wanted one. Because they collect toys that are recalled.

Or take off the shelves. Yeah, because they're often worth a lot of money. There's various people messaged me saying that they had, like, VHS copies of, like, the first edition of Lion King. Now, that's... But would that be worth anything? Because you can just download it now. It was the highest selling V edition of Lion King. Now that's... But would that be worth anything? Because you can just download it now. It was the highest selling VHS of all time.

So there'd be lots of them out there. Yeah, so it wouldn't be worth... But then maybe this is unopened. Yeah, right. Whereas you try buying a VHS and not opening it back in the day. Yeah, true. You bought that, you watched it thousands of times

until it stretched and warped and didn't play properly anymore. Yeah. So yeah, I heard from a few other people that said they were going on eBay to try to find it. One girl said she had the budget for five Barbies. So she had gone through rare Barbies and picked out five that she was going to buy. You just end up hoarding all the stuff in your house, though. That's the problem.

It's not patient enough. It ends up clutter and I just want to get rid of it. Yeah. So I want to know what you're collecting that you think might be worth some money one day.

What have you got? What are you holding on to? What are you squirreled away that you think might be worth some money one day? I don't have anything.

Because somebody else pointed me in the direction of a saxoboom. A what? Now a saxoboom was a small plastic battery powered saxophone from the early 90s, I think.

Right. Jack Black made it famous. Oh, okay. He plays it at Tenacious D concerts and has done heaps of TV talk show appearances where he's played this little... And it's all... Little yellow plastic.

You don't actually blow into it. You just push the buttons on the front and it gives these weird beats. But I saw it. I was like, oh, that could be interesting. I looked it up. The cheapest one I could find was out of its box and 300 US dollars. Wow.

Okay. So there are people making some serious cash out of their collecting this weird stuff. And I love reading those stories of like, did you have one of these? It might be worth some money now. Oh, yeah, because we all had those toys and we threw them out. We treated them like trash and like trashed them and played with them so much that they were unrecognisable. Okay, well give us a call. 0800 DALESATM 9696. What do you

think might be worth some money one day? What have you collected? What have you got saved away? Hoarded. Hoarded, yeah, maybe you've Hoarded. Hoarded, yep, or ordered. Sure. Maybe you think it's going to be worth some money one day. Give us a call. Talking about the things you're collecting that you think one day might be worth a little

something. Some text messages in. I threw out my brother's extensive collection of Mad magazines. Didn't they just announce like last week? There'll be no more new Mad magazines. It'll just be reprinted stuff. I found out later they were worth money. So actually probably worth more money after this week's announcement.

But he now lives in Switzerland and he's forgotten all about them. Until he reads online that Mad Magazines are worth a lot of money. Amy, what are you collecting that you think could be worth something one day? Cash. Money. Yeah. So I collect commemorative notes. Okay, because then people pay quite a bit for those, don't they?

Yes. Well, hopefully. I don't know. I'm getting really, well, hopefully. I don't know. I don't know. I'm getting really attached to my collection. I don't even know if I want to sell it. What would be the most expensive note you've got? I've got a 2,000 yen note, Japanese yen.

Right. So they were released at the turn of the century. But from what I've found out, the Japanese don't like even numbers. And so it's considered kind of bad luck to use this 2,000 yen note. So their other notes are 1,000s, 5,000s, and 10,000s, so 1, 5, 1. Right. So they're real rare. I've only ever seen one, and it's the one that I have.

Wow. Wow, and do you think you could sell that for more than it's worth? Possibly, but it's my favourite, so I don't think I'd want to. This is quite weird. You've got a favourite note. Favourite note. Yeah. I'd just spend it.

I couldn't hold on to it. Me too. Yeah. Amy, thanks for your call. Candice, what have you got that you think might be worth something one day? Well, it's not me.

It's my husband who has a collection of Simpson DVDs as well as a massive Homer head. Wow. Okay, so he loves the Simpsons. And are these DVDs all out in the lounge or are they hidden away like? Oh, no, they're in the office cupboard.

Right, okay. And does he think they'll be worth something one day? Well, he said the other day, oh, he should look up and see how much they would be worth to see if we could sell them, but we haven't done that yet, so we have no idea. Probably wouldn't have hit that sweet spot of being old enough yet. Nah.

And plus, I imagine they would have made so many of them. Yeah. As well, that's the other thing. But you never know, though, do you? Candice, thanks for your call. Ask some text messages. I saw something recently about cabbage patch dolls. Certain one's been worth a couple of thousand dollars.

Right. Somebody messaged in and they knew that they had one of those growing up. So they said to their mum, where's my cabbage patch doll? And cabbage patch doll apparently got chucked out. Jacob, what are you collecting that you think might be worth something one day? Bobbleheads.

How old are you, Jacob? Ten. Are they the Funko Pop bobbleheads? I've got them, but then Jacob, I get them and I want to play with them so I always end up taking them out of the box. Me too. So they're out, but then, Jacob, I get them and I want to play with them, so I always end up taking them out of the box. Tee hee hee. Me too. So they're out of the box, Jacob?

Not all of them. What ones have you left in the box? Explosive ones. Ooh, okay. You're smart. I like that. Do you think that these could fund your university or some overseas travel when you're older, Jacob?

Yes. Good. How many do you have? Like 25 or something. Wow. Now, did you do chores and get pocket money to buy them, or did mum and dad pay for them? I got some because I had

some birthday money oh okay nice because when you sell them mum and dad might want some of the profits

but write a contract out that says that you own exclusive rights to these and get them to sign away any rights any claims I've got to them

yeah it's important it's important to take out a legal contract when you're 10 we're only here to help you. We don't want your family screwing you over, Jacob. We'll invoice you for this legal advice.

It's a pleasure. Thank you, Jacob. Some more text messages. We have Sylvanian families. Let's go to his mum and say, we've got to get a contract. You know when you're trying to screw me. You know how families get when money gets involved. I have Sylvanian families from when I was a kid.

Full sets of Sylvanian families. My kids play with them now. Three 60-litre containers full of Sylvanian families, four houses, cars, caravans and everything. I call it my retirement fund. I wouldn't be letting the kids play with those Sylvanian families. See, Sylvanian families are one of those weird things that I think will be worth some money one day.

Someone said, I've got a full set of Shortland Street Collectors cards from the 1990s in a limited edition folder. What do you reckon they're worth? Is that for sale at the moment? The trouble is it's not a worldwide thing, is it? No. You've got a niche New Zealand audience for that. Basketball

cards. Somebody else said I've got heaps of Michael Jordan basketball cards from the early 90s in those little plastic cases you used to put valuable cards in. That could be worth something. That could be worth a lot of money. A lot of money. I've got a Heritage All Black Series Ford Falcon. I don't know which All Black owned it, though. That would probably change the value of it.

Yeah, wouldn't it? What if, like, Buck Shelford sat his torn scrotum in your Falcon? It's worth more or something, isn't it? Yeah, okay. I don't know if it is more. It's worth more than a... I don't know if that would be worth more. Did they clean the seats?

Oh, yeah. No, I'm not saying it's still messy. It's still got the remnants. I'm just saying that it would have at some stage touched the same seat. Right. I can imagine some bloke driving along finding that just great. Yeah. That happened.

I don't know. I just feel it some days, you know. Just drive along. I just feel it. It's a vibe. Zeddy's Fletchborn and Megan. The podcast. feel it some days. I just feel it. It's a vibe.
