Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Anya living a very busy life as a bath influencer. New Zealand's first bath influencer?

I know influencers occasionally take baths, but you've... I'm only specific to the bath. I don't influence anywhere else. No, no, no, you're right. Influence zone, primarily bath-based. Just water-based. Just water-based. Water-based influencing.

Wonderful to follow. And lightning as always. What are you trying to sell, baths? No, mostly just doing it for free bath bombs, rubber duckies, anything in the bath realm. Bath paraphernalia.

Yeah, towels. A loofah. I'm not fussy. Oh, that'd be nice. Oh, you're nice loofahs. They're good. You have to be careful though because you've got

a skinny skin. You might blow up with a loofah. That's true. Because you've got that three, what is it? You've got's true. Because you've got that thread. What is it? You've got the eyes done and you're puffed up.

Yeah, I had them waxed and I puffed and then I threaded them and I puffed. Yeah. It's just bad. A lot of puffing. Yeah. All the puffing. Yeah.

Okay. Best of luck for the weekend. Thank you, sir. A lot of time for bath. Influencing. I went very pruney last night. I was in there for two hours. And the water was cold. Oh, no good, no good.

It's not all the breeze, guys, that's influencing. Yeah. All right, the top six is coming up on the show. Yeah, Love... Nope, Heartbreak Island. Not Love Island, no. Love Island's poor cousin that you get from Kmart. Non-brand specific.

Love Island. Heartbreak Island has been announced to have a season two. Six improvements that could be made. These are your ideas. From someone that didn't watch a single episode. But you know. Rich. I've asked some people. Well, Caitlin's got a few ideas, don't you Caitlin?

Yeah, we need to bring Harry back for season two. Well, don't give it all away. Don't give it all away. Oh, okay. I'll give you some hints. Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you. Speaking of Love Island, though, Erin from Love Island. She joins us on the phone, which will be interesting.

Just after 8 o'clock this morning. We're going to play Snapchat Snapchat with her as well. So if you've been watching Love Island and you've got a question for Erin, send it through. You could literally ask her anything, I think, and she'd answer it, I'm sure. I think anyone on that show is pretty loose. They don't care. They'll just answer anything.

So you send your questions through by eight because she's on just after eight o'clock. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right. Three news headlines. You've got to pick one of the following three. The others are deleted and no Googling.

Those are the rules for Storytime, as we know. Headline one, woman none the wiser. Headline two, Florida man with no arms stabs tourist. And headline three, up, up and away. Ooh. There you go. One and three are very vague. Vague. Vague.

Vague. As the French say. Is it how they pronounce it, is it? Mm-hmm. Vague. Mm-hmm. Did the guy actually stab them or is he being like framed? Someone was stabbed by this man.

With no arms. Mm-hmm. Well, they often can drive cars, right? Foot-based stabbing. Drive cars with your feet. Yeah, you just hold it between your toes. But then it's hard with holding things between your toes to get a good... That's the thing about the hand.

The grip. The grip. Well, for you maybe, but for someone who's armless... Experienced. That's true. Yeah. Armless, but certainly not harmless. And you've seen my toes.

I can peel a banana. Yeah, but you wouldn't be able to hold a knife with such, because I'd imagine piercing a human's epidermis would require a bit of force. If he did more practice with his feet gripping. Yeah, yeah, very, very true. Very, very true. Okay, which one are we going for? That was one, right? No, that was. Very, very true. Okay, which one are we going for? What was that? That was one, right?

No, that was two. That was two. What was one? Women. Women, none the wiser. Okay. And headline three, up, up and away. Now, is that woman, plural or woman?

Singular. No, say it right. Women. Women. That's why I said woman. That's why I said, otherwise I would have said women. Women. Women.

Whamoon. Women. That's how I'm going to say the singular of woman from now on. Whamoon. Whamoon. Women. Whamoon. That's how I'm going to say the singular of woman from now on. Whamoon. Whamoon. Listen, Whamoon. Doesn't sound... No.

Great. Up and away. Yeah, I kind of want three. You want that one? Yes, please. I'm going to Google the stabbing with the feet. Let's do that one. Okay, right.

Well, we go now to the UK where a woman, a 47-year-old, was sorting out a birthday gift. Now, Megan, you've witnessed this very thing happening. Ooh. Now, she got her, she bought her cousin a $120 ring. Who likes their cousin enough? Who even gets their cousin a birthday present? I don't even know what my cousin's birthday is. Exactly right. Yeah. Like, you wouldn't buy your cousin a birthday present? I don't even know what my cousin's birthday is.

Exactly right. Like, you wouldn't buy your cousin a birthday present, would you? Nope. No. Nope. I don't even talk. I mean, I'll see. I don't even buy my brother a birthday present.

Yeah, I really like my cousins. I don't buy my siblings birthday presents either. Yeah. Well, anyway, she... It's a very, very restricted fugue, a birthday gift. She decided she would get her cousin a 120-pound ruby ring. And she thought, well, this is a lovely gift. So that's like three...

220, 40 New Zealand dollars. This is a woman giving another woman... Her cousin, yes. Okay. A ring. So she decided... Oh, but that's different because sometimes I find Girls can be really close My sister

She didn't have a sister Growing up Yeah Our cousin Was more or less her sister Right But they were really close But would she buy her

A birthday present? Like now? Yeah Probably not No Not when she's 47 Well anyway Vicky decided

That she would Forgo the usual Gift wrapping Of the ring box and decided to tie the ruby ring to a lovely helium balloon. There we go. And that is now why Vicky is asking that anyone who finds this helium balloon, which has come down from space, possibly in their backyard,

if they could contact her because she'd really love to still give the ring to her cousin because it floated away. You're an idiot. I know. It's not heavy enough to hold that down. Well, she said that she turned around to find something to weigh down the 36-inch inflatable balloon. 36-inch?

That's like weather balloon size. I know. And that's when the balloon drifted into her utility room through an open door into the garden

and away. I even worry sometimes if I'm handing my children a large helium balloon if it's going to be like, I know it is but you worry.

You worry about that. Yeah and I never think it was going to hold down a ring was going to hold down. A ring was going to hold it down. Yeah. She did run into a little bit of a hiccup, though,

because her balloon was lost during a World Cup football match, I believe the yesterday's match. Oh, no. And so the last thing people were wanting to do was to look out the window and see if they could spot her balloon. I don't think at this stage she has found the ring. She has not found the ring. Always tie down your helium balloon. Oh, we chased one of my sister's Miss Piggy balloons

for a long time. Well, like, over our farm, over the neighbour's farm, and then it was gone. It's gone. Well, you saw a lady with letter balloons. That's right. It was, like, Melissa or something. She had about seven balloons, and then one of them went...

Actually, I think she lost two of them in the end, didn't she? Yeah. Out the boot of the car trying to get them in. Essential vowels too, as I recall. Yeah. Always tie down the balloons. FVM, the podcast. A TV show

returning, TV2, Friday night 9.30. The Naked One. Yes, Naked Attraction.30. The Naked One. Yes. Naked attraction. Are they still bringing that back? Because people complained through the wazoo. There were 13 official complaints to the BSA, the Broadcasting Standards Authority, after the first two episodes of the season when it aired in 2017.

Did these, because who is it? Family First. What's their deal? Family First are a conservative Christian lobby group that want everybody else to abide by laws they found in an old book, basically. Under his eye. Under his eye. Please be the fruit.

And yeah, so they were behind a lot of the complaints. What did they not? They said they were swamped with complaints. It's like, yes, but that's not up to you. You're not the governing body. Yeah, this is true. What are the complaints? Just that you see boobs and...

A bit of pain. A lot of pain. But is it to do with the content? No. Penises. Is it literally the fact they're naked? Or is it to do with like, is it to... Do they need me to come around and show them how to work the remote?

Oh God, I want to know what you're going to say. Like, do they not know the up and down of the channel button? To change the channel. Yeah. Or they're very concerned that, I don't know. Right. Anybody might accidentally flick across and be confronted with genitalia that they own. Right.

Or, you know, if they don't own it, it's genitalia that they should see when they've become married to somebody. Right. Not married to somebody. Right. Not prior to that. They said this isn't the occasional glimpse. It needs to be off television. The first show of the series, 282 shots of male genitalia, 96 of female, an average of six penises and two vaginas every minute. PPM.

Penis per minute. Yeah, penis per minute. Or VPN. Vaginas per minute Yeah I grew up seeing So many PNVs

Yeah Like strangers PNVs In the nudist Camps Yeah and I'm okay I'm not perverted Well some would say Someone would argue that Megan

This is Oh it's low end perversion Yeah It's very low end He said It is disgusting And shocking As to the state broadcasters

trying to outdo sites like Pornhub. To which I would be like, tell me how you know about Pornhub. Oh, clean, clean bill, McCroskey or whatever you have it. How do you know about Pornhub? And is that your favourite? Is that the one you go to

because it's easiest to remember? What's going on here? But of course, they're not trying to outdo Pornhub. No. If I went to Pornhub and there was a naked attraction episode, I'd be very disappointed. It's quite nice to see different bodies that aren't like perfect.

You're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, that is quite a good thing of that show. It's not like everyone on there's a model. No. It's just everyday people. Exactly. God, I'd never go on that show. No, God, no.

You see, it's ruthless, eh? Absolutely not. Yeah, it's... I just wouldn't. Because you'd hope that, from a guy's point of view anyway, you'd hope the hating was on in the studio. Yeah.

The people are very bold, like power to them, the people that go on it. It's amazing because as you said, they stand there sort of, they're not allowed to cover themselves or anything. And the curtain slowly goes up and reveals it all. Thank God, I couldn't do it.

But anyway, it's going to be back on television. And the only thing the BSA said about the complaints last time is perhaps it needs a stronger warning at the start. It's called Naked Attraction. It's all in the title. They're going to be naked. After every ad break, TVNZ said, we'll even chuck in another little warning.

You're about to see some diddles, some boobies, a fanny maybe. Don't say the F word. And a bottom. And buy a couple of bottoms. A couple of bottoms. All right, well, you've been warned. It's back tonight, I think.

FBM. ZM. The Henley Passport Index is what ranks how friendly your passport is around the world. Now, this shows where you can travel visa-free or visa on arrival, so you don't have to pre-organise your visas. In New Zealand, we're always pretty good. Like, you can go to most countries and not need a visa.

We're pretty good, but not good news. We've slipped from where we were last year. Why? What did we do? But we've actually gained access to more countries, but the countries that were below us have gained access to more countries

than we gained access to. So we haven't actually lost anything. No, we've not lost anything, but we were fifth equal, now we're seventh equal. And there's been a change at the top because Germany was big dog. Yep. Germany has been big dog for years. Do we want to just let them in anywhere?

We can now. We can now. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's not the 1940s, Megan. I mean, Austria is still like, what? Okay. No, that's all good.

I thought it was Germany. That's all right. You're all right. Come on in. But they were first for a long time, but Japan and Singapore are now top. They can access 189 destinations, no questions asked. They got access without visas

to Uzbekistan earlier this year. Why don't we have visas to Uzbekistan? I don't know. Uzi, come on mate. I mean, I don't want to go, well not now, but maybe one day. But what if I did want to go?

Exactly. Yeah, one day. Well, maybe we'll be able to. Do we beat Australia on the list? Because I saw when I went through Chile, Santiago, Australians, they have to pay a fee, a visa fee when they land. To go to Chile? Yeah, just because they're Australians. I was like, what did Australia do to Chile?

Australian-Chile relationships? They're a little icy, aren't they? But New Zealanders, they're like, come on in. Come on in. Oh, now I need to know. They've had a beef over something. Was it over beef? It might have been. I just thought Australia-Chile relations

is the first thing that popped up. Gold rush. There's lots of countries like that. There will be a little beef, a diplo... Because we can't go to South Africa now without getting a visa. Oh, yeah, there was beef there. There was a little beef there,

and they're like, well, if you want to come here, you'll need a visa. No, it's because going... It was different one way to the other, so they were like, well, if you're going to make it hard, we'll make it hard. They had to come here and get a visa.

But that's because we're nicer to be in. I know. That's why that's harder, guys. I know. It's harder to come here because, yeah, it's like South Africa. South Africans need a visa to go everywhere too. Yeah, well, fair enough apart, Todd. You were chucking Germany under the bus just before.

They mopped that up over half a century ago. We've still got a while. Yeah. I can't find that there's any, like, beef between Australia and Chile. During the Australian gold rush, Chile was Australia's major wheat supplier, and there was regular ships between the two. They even have a bilateral treaty.

Oh, no, it says here you can go for 90 days, but they definitely had to pay a fee for something. I think that was just they thought you were Australian, so they put a little thing up to try to get some money out of you. Corruption. Okay, so it says you can get a visa for 90 days, but you do need to pay a reciprocity fee. Oh, right, so they must have to pay it when they get to Australia as well.

Maybe, yeah. Just a little bit of back and forth. But why do they have to pay a fee? We don't have to pay a fee. We're super cute. We're super cute. We are super cute. We're pretty rinky-dinkies. So we're seven people with the Czech Republic and Malta.

Oh, the Czech Republic. But the bad news is we are behind Australia. They're in number six. Tied with Greece. Oh, okay. Remember that time we went to Greece? They didn't even look at our passports. No, we just literally walked in.

I think they were just happy to see us. It was a weird little kiosk. and they're like, oh, if you go through. It looks like, see, and we're like, got my bags, I'm on a train, I'm next to the ancient ruins. I'm like, no one looked at my passport. Just spend some money while you're here. I think they were just happy to have some visitors.

So they were with Australia, fifth, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, and Switzerland in fifth place. I don't know why, but I always imagined the Swiss would be higher up, because they were also neutral, but maybe that annoys some people. You know when your mate won't get on side with an argument? If you argue with a mate, but one of your group of mates is like, oh, I don't want to be involved. I'm like, Trevor, pick a side.

Grow a spine. But yeah, Germany, Singapore and Japan are up the top. Your usuals, your Scandinavians, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, they're all up there. Right. Not real sketchy countries. Probably the US is probably the sketchiest of the top five countries. Given present scenario, I would say.

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, we're still up there. We're okay. Okay. Still good to be a New Zealander. Some new signs are being tested in, is it Norwich? Norwich. Norwich.

Norwich. Stupid silent W. In the Norwich? Norwich. Norwich. Norwich. Stupid. In the UK. In the UK. East Norwich. If they come here, someone on the show is going to like get a few finds. Looking at you, Vaughn. Oh, don't look at me.

So these signs, they can detect when you're on your phone. How? So it's a little, it looks like a little digital, you know when they have digital speed signs? Yep, and all they do is they go 64, they're like, slow down. I like those signs. You're not my mum. I like those signs.

But those aren't speed cameras. Why do you like those signs? Well, when I used to have a scooter, I'd go as far as I could on the scooter, but it was obviously too small for it to detect. So you'd go. Pop out your arms. Just try to take up enough space that it would see you.

Yeah. And then it'd be like, 58, slow down. You'd be like, yes. Such a dead animal. I'm a bad ass over here. So it's a tiny little square digital sign. And it will flash a symbol of a mobile phone with a line for it. So it's a circle, like a no phone,

to remind you to get off your phone. So just like those speeding signs, but hey, get off your phone. Yeah. So it won't give you a ticket? I don't think so. It could kind of lead to that, though, if they've got the technology. So, I mean, yeah, once they've got the technology, they can just, like, use the sign and be like,

number plate, you're booked, mate. Yeah. Show you the photo so you can't dispute it. Yeah. Like they do for a speed camera. I don't know. How are you – I don't think it describes how it actually works. Is it just, like, reading a digital –

Well, they don't want you to know because then you'll find a loophole. Yeah. Well, obviously, you've got to have your phone, like, have your phone out of reach so it can't pick it up. Because is it reading like an active digital signal? But then my phone could be ringing in the passenger seat and I'm not answering it. Well, you're allowed to answer your phone while you're driving. Just not be on it. You're allowed to be looking at it.

Yeah. Maybe it targets your eyes and then it can see whereabouts your eyes are looking. And if they're looking too far down, it's like. And not on the road, then it kind of knows you're in the photo. Yeah. So how does it know when you're, even if you're going 50 Ks. Yeah. That's still quite a bit to lock onto, isn't it?

Yeah. If they wanted to, in all seriousness, and this job, this new role I'm creating would pay for itself like that. You get a camera over a motorway, under a motorway bridge, that takes a photo of every single car that goes past. And then someone's job is to sit there and watch these photos flick by and say two seconds or a second on every photo. They'd probably get pretty good and could do it in half a second.

And then if the person's not looking, they just go tip and tick that one for further review. And then somebody else only gets the ticked ones. And then they are looking through and they're like, oh yeah, that person's definitely on their phone. Photographic evidence. Fine. That's a lot for like a $50 mobile phone fine though. But they'd be picking them up like every minute. They'd be making $50.

Yeah, it's $150. Oh, is it? Yeah. They'd them up like every minute. They'd be making $50. Yeah, it's $150. Oh, is it? Yeah. They'd be getting one every minute. I could guarantee it. Yeah. Every minute of the day. Why are you doing this?

Well, I'm sick of them mucking around. I'd get a fine, sure, every now and then. But if I was in New Jersey and people were like, oh, they've gone too far. It's a police state. I'm like, it's a lawful. I don't get it done. I get it installed, and I would just literally have a camera.

It wouldn't even cost that much. It would just be a camera on a... You're the only person... You're the one person we know that's always on your phone when driving. And you just go over an overbridge and put your phone down, and then you pull it back up again. Fine. Loophole, as I said.

You tell someone how something works, they'll find a loophole. I'd say it's on every part of the motorway. Constantly. Just trial it. I'd put one up and trial it and I'd see how much money I make. And then people would be like, how are they just trying to lie in their own pockets? I'd be like, yeah, because I'm getting money for this, you moron.

Enjoy the new road you're driving on. I'm on no one's side. I'm a rogue agent. I can't be trusted by either side. That's what makes me a great spy. You can't just set up a camera and start ticketing people, Vaughn. Oh, I will. I need to leave straight after the show today.

Give him 10, 5 years. I need to go to JB Hi-Fi for a camera and I need a bracket. Or am I getting a bracket bunnings? I don't know. You're going to be such a menace to society in five, no, two years. Two years max. You're going to be that old man that's making his own speed camera

at the end of the road. Slow down. Sue, you can't deploy road spikes. I often do look on Trade Me for old police speed readers. That'd be another thing I'd have hooked up to my little amateur camera situation. Oh, Christ. Okay.

The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Morning. The Top Six Ways to Make Heartbreak Island Season Two Bigger and Better. This is

applications are open now if you saw the first season and you're like, ah, well, I'd like a bit of that. I'd like the internet

to judge me without any repercussions. Say whatever they want. So the top six ways to make it better. Number six. They need to stop being so negative with the title. We thought this was weird. Heartbreak Island.

Okay. Very negative. What about Soulmate Island? Well, they're breaking hearts when they leave, I guess. Life Partner Coral Atoll. Life. Life partner Coral Atoll. Life partner what? Coral Atoll. Oh.

It's like an island. It's got a lagoon in the middle. Yeah. You know, just think it's heartbreak. From the outset, it didn't sound like anyone was going to. Even the winners, they're not together anymore. You don't want to be filming a TV show on a coral atoll, though, with global warming. Oh, get it done real quick.

Right, okay. A non-hurricane season. Okay. Yeah. They have a worm farm, so there's like, you have a zero carbon footprint. Yeah, and not one of the ones that the French used to put bombs in. To test the nuclear bombs. Yeah.

Because three legs doesn't look good in a bikini. No. I also know that's how nuclear poisoning doesn't work. I just thought it was the easiest to get across. Visualise, yeah. Number five on the list of the top six ways to make Heartbreak Island season two better. In saying what I just said about Heartbreak Island, it doesn't have to be on an island. Right.

Everything's more expensive on an island. You know, everything has to be transported to the island, food and drink and everything. So what about Heartbreak Peninsula or Heartbreak Coastal Retreat? I'm just thinking of a way to keep prices down so we can spend more money on other areas. Number four on the list of the top six ways to make Heartbreak Island Season 2 better,

have a monkey as one of the contestants and see how long it takes for someone to mention it and then when they mention it, have the monkey as one of the contestants and see how long it takes for someone to mention it and then when they mention it, have the monkey cry and then everyone's like, you're a bully for calling that monkey a monkey. Just to really throw a spanner in the works. Okay. This is quite confusing.

Yeah. Are they a bad person for saying, I think you're a monkey, Stephanie? And Stephanie's like... Because the monkey identifies as a human so It's very confusing I don't know

Are you wrong to call a monkey a monkey? Number three on the list of the top six ways to make Heartbreak Island season two better

more slow motion Oh yeah Lots more slow motion It's way easier to fill up a show if there's lots of slow motion because it takes up more time

Yep I've watched enough Love Island and I've watched enough Love Island and I've not watched much to know that they are really making the most of that slow motion. That show would be 20 minutes long. Without the slow motion.

Without the slow motion. Number two on the list of the top six ways to make Heartbreak Island season two better. Fletch, I believe there's an audio cue here. Just had the theme song playing under the whole show the whole time.

I mean, it's not my cup of tea, but drink yourself silly. Number one on the top six ways to make Heartbreak Island Season 2 better. Probably just buy the rights to Love Island UK and dub the voices over with Kiwi accents.

So it would have been like, oh, you're being such a bitch. It'd be like, oh, you're being such a botch and just dub it over, do your best. Yeah, right. No one's really watching

the mouths on that show from my limited time watching it. I'm not seeing a lot of the mouths. They're in togs a lot it. I'm not seeing a lot of the mouths. They're in togs a lot is all I'm saying. Oh, and get the narrator too. Get the narrator too. Yeah, yeah.

That's today's top six. FM. Ended now, I believe it ended at 7 o'clock, so five minutes ago, but a 24-hour strike by nurses all over the country. And we actually saw a bit of it yesterday, didn't we?

We did. Walking down Queen Street. They were setting up for their Queen Street walk, part of this strike action. Big march, yeah. And I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nurses and teachers, two of the most essential aspects of a functioning modern society, give them what they want.

And it's not all about money. Having talked to my daughter's teacher, and I imagine teachers will strike as well. It's not all about getting paid more. Sure, that's nice, but wildly under-resourced teachers. Sometimes they need more glue sticks. Give them glue sticks. Give them glue sticks.

No, we do. Oh, you do? Every now and then, India will come home and say, oh, everyone has to take a couple of glue sticks in. Are you serious? Yeah, and pencils. I mean, that's fair enough. Kids go through it.

Yeah, like glue sticks and stuff. Are you kidding me? No, class supplies. I mean, that's fair enough. Kids go through it. But yeah, like glue-sitting stuff. Are you kidding me? No, class supplies. There's just no money for it. So they'll say, hey, if you can, if you're in the situation where you can offer us some stuff, that'd be great. You're so sad. I thought you were joking. No.

Oh, my God. It's not. And at the start of the year, the stationary list. Well, I mean, Indy's only year two. And I think, I'm a wild lefty socialist deep down, but at the start of the year, the kids all, they bring like six pencils or whatever. Yeah. And they go into like the class pencils.

Oh, okay. So you don't have your own pencil. Yeah. And then when those get used through, they're like, oh, we need some more pencils. Because there's no money. That's kind of nice too, because like then everyone's got a pencil

or everyone doesn't. It's not singling out anyone who doesn't have the goods that everyone else has. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. That can be a... You think when you were a kid at school

if you didn't have Duracell books. A cool pencil case. It was just a little thing but if someone's like, you didn't have Duracell, you're like... I can remember. That's a true memory

being brought up there. So if it takes one thing out of the situation, that's awesome. And I think teachers who are going to have industrial strike action for wages, sure. But also just to be a better resource to educate children. And it's the same with nurses. It's not all about wages for nurses. I know some nurses and they work crazy hours in the most stressful conditions. And sure, an increase in wages is well overdue.

But it's just about having a safer working environment and having better work conditions as well. And more staff because they don't have enough people. Yeah, exactly. So when I was in hospital for my hip surgery, there was not enough nurses to go around. But even just what they had to do for me, I was like, I wouldn't do that for a stranger. Well, they had to sponge you, didn't they? And like help me go to the toilet. And it's like, that's not nice when it's a stranger.

I mean, it's not nice when it's someone you know, but that's someone you don't know. Yeah. You think about when we're at work and someone comes in and they're like, I might be sick. And you're like, oh God, get away from me. They invite those people to their work and then care for them. Can you imagine that?

Yeah. That's crazy. So I'm fully in support of, and as a show we are, I'd like to think as a station we are, fully in support of nurses and teachers wanting what they got. I had a friend who works at the DHB but is not a nurse. Now, when they all went on strike, a lot of those people stepped in and, you know, volunteered.

To do, like, the operation. Doctors. Volunteered to do the nurses' jobs. Doctors. I heard from a couple of people I know that are doctors, and they took up some nursing roles. Oh, wow. When they shouldn't have been working, they came in to help cover yesterday. Right.

Now, she said, I'm reading from her Facebook. She said, I can honestly say I thought I knew what they did for a job, but boy was I wrong. Their job is relentless. They're on their feet all day and they have non-stop demands coming at them left, right and centre. They're also dealing with vulnerable, unwell and often agitated, aggressive patients and families.

Not to mention the bodily fluids. Just like, give them what they want. Give them what they want. Pay them what they want. Yeah, and the way you think of the ones working in emergency departments that at the weekend have to deal with the drunks and people with drug problems and people with extreme mental health conditions.

Because we're all quick to go to the hospital and be like, oh, I didn't get seen for ages or make complaints. But that's why we need to give them what they want. Yeah. Give them the facilities. Give to give them what they want. Yeah. Give them the facilities. Give it to them. Give it to them. Can't we just funnel the money they're getting from that Waterview Tunnel speed camera?

Those eight cameras they have. And I came up with the speed camera idea before. They can have some of that. I don't want it because I don't want to see it to be profiteering and fill in my own pockets. Trouble is a lot of those people that get speeding tickets are nurses too. So it's just kind of a circle there. Circle of life. Well, I'll give them a heads up. I'll be like, hey.

We can't give you a pay rise, but there's a speed camera. Don't speed. I know, just tell everybody else to. Surely there's, because the government's like, there's no money. But what are you doing with all the money we pay in fines? Or just print more. Never understood that. No, no, no, no, no, no. You've lost it now. You've gone

off. That doesn't work, Megan. Did you not see that episode of DuckTales with hyper inflation? Yes, Scrooge McDuck became really poor, right? Because they just made the Beagle Boys printed lots of money. It was weird because DuckTales was teaching us a lot about a flourishing economy. It wasn't. But also the evils of

capitalism. Fletch. Vaughan. And Megan. The podcast. Sam. Trade Me have released, and I guess they kind of asked the police, they were like, is it cool if we talk about this?

It's quite a good little stat. And the police were probably like, okay, but we're watching you. Talks in hushed voices. But the police have released, along with Trade Me, how many times they requested information from Trade Me in an effort to solve crimes. Ooh, okay. Yeah, exciting, hey?

So they went to Trade Me and requested information 1,350 times last year. Whoa, that's so much. No, I thought it would be way more. Oh, really? An official request for information. Yeah, I thought it would be more too. No, because otherwise they could just go to listings

and be like, oh, that's their email log. But I guess once something's been stolen and insurance is paid out for something that may have been, you know, then listed on Trade Me sometime later. People don't care as much. People don't care as much. Yeah, true. Unless it's something of, you know, then listed on Trade Me sometime later. People don't care as much. People don't care as much. Yeah, true.

Unless it's something of, you know, sentimental value. But 408 of those police inquiries were for stolen goods. Okay. 284 were drug related. Right. What, so people selling? Not selling drugs so much as there might have been a link back to a drug-related crime. Okay.

Right. That maybe something was listed on there. Right. Non-delivery of goods. So that's pretty much scamming. Yep. Saying you're going to sell someone something and then nothing turns up. Yep.

Money has exchanged hands. 217 of those. This next one's the very interesting one. But can we just stop on that? Okay. Stop on that one. I would have thought that is your classic trade me scam. Selling someone an iPhone that doesn't exist or anything.

I thought that would have been way higher. You thought it would be more? Yeah. To be honest, if that happened to me, though, I don't think I'd report it to the police. I'd just be like, oh, God. But if it was a lot of money, if you were wearing an iPhone. I would report it to the police.

But then maybe the threat of reporting to the police, yeah. Yeah. This is where the police needed to get official information to find out who this trade me user was. Right. Basically. So maybe just the threat. And that might be what, you know, you think 217 of that 217 different people.

Yeah. One person might have been running multiple scams. Yeah, true. On that same account there. This one's very interesting. 79 inquiries related to homicide or missing persons. What are they putting on Trade Me?

I don't know. But maybe it could be something that was like if you think about like if there was a death and there was a vehicle spotted and then a vehicle matching that description is for sale on Trade Me, they just want that information to see if that person if it matches. You're good at this.

You should be a detective. I've always wanted to be a detective. Just because I'm nosy. But if I watch enough cop dramas, I couldn't stick to the rules. No, you'd be a renegade. Yeah, they'd be like, Smith, that's against,

and then the lawyers get called in and all the evidence gets thrown out because I got it through a non-legal manner. And they were like, why were you shooting bullets at that propane tank, the big fuel tanker? Why was I? Because you were trying to just see it explode. Okay, I mean, that was the most obvious answer.

But I don't know, I never even thought I had a gun. Do I have a gun? Am I a gunned up detective? Yeah, you're a gunned up. No, gun detectives in New Zealand don't have guns. Yeah, they do, They can have guns. If they're going to find a murderer or something, they'd have to have a gun.

Well, you better strap me up. Okay. I want one of those holsters that you wear under your jacket and it's got like one on each side. Isn't that a western holster? That's for like westerns. You don't like cross over and draw two guns as a detective. Yeah, you do. Why not? It's on your hip. It's on your hip. No, that's cross over and draw two guns. Yeah, you do. Why not?

It's on your hip. It's on your hip. No, that's too boring. I'm flashy. You've got to remember I'm the renegade cop. You'd pull it out and you'd get your hands all caught up. I'd get the job done, but there's questions about how I did it. Also, you wear hoodies.

Like, you can't have a double-crossing wearing a hoodie. No, I'm wearing a three-piece suit. I'm taking the job very seriously. All of a sudden? Yeah, and some like swishy, well, they won't be real. Don't tell anybody else

on the force. Although they're detectives so they might work it out but my sunglasses are fake. I don't really drop hundreds of dollars on sunglasses. I just went to Thailand.

Detective Smith, where's all your paperwork? I don't have paperwork. God damn it, I get that job done. That criminal's going to walk without that paperwork. Can I shoot him?

I've got two guns. You can't shoot him. You'll get charged with manslaughter. Well, actually, it was planned, so it's premeditated murder. But he's a bad guy. Pew, pew, pew, pew. Oh, let him be. It's Detective Smith.

He's got a great success rate. You know, you can't argue with his methods. The streets have never been safer. In fact, the biggest danger on the street is him. Have we just described basically all lethal weapon movies? Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much, yeah.

Yeah, except Mel Gibson didn't wear a three-piece suit. Right. And he had a mullet. I couldn't do a mullet being a bald man. And he was racist. Although we didn't know at the time. No, we didn't know. It's all right to love someone until you know they're racist. Although we didn't know at the time. No, we didn't know. It's alright to love someone until you know they're racist.

Sure. And then it's very important to cast them aside quickly. Megan Markle is in Dublin for a tour of engagements. I feel sorry for her because everyone's picking holes in everything she's doing. She knew though, eh? Yeah, but how much can you prepare yourself for that? Yeah, I know. Because now she's getting everything about fashions.

I think she's been wearing amazing outfits, but it's all, like, expensive designers. When you're saying she's going too far? Yeah, I thought she'd get slammed a bit for wearing such expensive outfits, but, I mean, she's got away with it so far. She was seen carrying a 475-pound Strathbury tote. It's a handbag, Fletch.

You're looking at me frankly. I was like, what's a tote? It's that thing at the races. When I write totes on my phone, it brings up a little bag. Like if I'm like, shut up, I'll say, can you grab something on the way home? And I'll be like, totes. And you know how it makes you

like a little suggestion of an emoji and it's got a handbag beside it. So it's a tote. Oh, cute. A bag. Okay. Yeah. So it was a very expensive handbag.

And it also sold out as soon as she was seen with it, weirdly enough. But. It's so stink, they can't take economic advantage of, of their influence. Kylie Jenner's a billionaire now because of the lip kits and stuff.

So imagine if Meghan Markle released a range of handbags and everyone bought them and then she could give the money to... Poor people. Nepal. Yeah, Nepal. Somewhere. Somewhere. Anywhere.

Yeah, true. Yeah. So she was seen carrying this bag. I would never have picked this up, but people are picking holes in there so much that they have noticed when she was carrying this handbag, on the bottom of it is little metal domes. So that's to protect the leather of the bag

when you put it down on surfaces. Oh, yep. Okay. But it's got little plastic protective things on the underside of it. She didn't take them off. She didn't take them off. Oh, no.

Now, are they on the underside of the metal domes or are they under the underside of the whole bag? Just the domes by the looks of the photo. Oh, the whole bag as well. Well, the domes

are under the whole bag. Yeah. But the protective case is off the bag. Good work. Like, there's not plastic on the bag. Keep it on. there's not plastic on the bag. Keep it on.

Keep them on. No. Keep them on. No, it's a, those are there to protect the bag. You don't need to protect the protective of the bag. You do because you're going to get more protection. No. Doubling down on protection is never a bad idea.

You know, if I'm in a dairy or a shop and they've got the protective film over the F-Pos machine I've been with you when you were a child I was appalled You peeled it off I'll pull it off because it's That's not your prerogative

That's not your F-Pos machine Don't get me started on people that leave you know those like energy rating stickers on fridges and TVs

No but to be fair that doesn't come off my washing machine is it supposed to? Oh my god yes Just play we might as well do it play the bed No but that doesn't come off my washing machine. Is it supposed to? Oh, my God, yes. Just play. We might as well do it. Play the bed.

No, but it doesn't peel off, and I don't want like a half-peeled ripped sticker on my washing machine. You just dissolve it. Oh, no, Fletch. No, I'm just leaving it on there. Yeah, I left our new fridge. There was a little, it's just like a little display. Not one of those big TV fridges.

Don't get him started on the TV fridges either. He had a go at the TV fridges the other day. What's a TV fridge? You've got TV in your fridge. You don't need a TV in the fridge. Note these down for future episodes. It's going to be a fine sunny day, my fridge told me. I think that's handy.

Not like I could look out the window. My fridge is my first stop in the morning. Or at my phone or the. I think that's handy. Not like I could look out the window. My fridge is my first stop in the morning. Or at my phone or the TV I already have. No, but what if the kitchen is really far away from the TV? It's not necessary, Megan. No, you're in the kitchen, it's great. You come into the kitchen, you're getting ready in the morning

and your fridge is like, good morning, and it's like sunny, it's 16, because you can see what it's like outside, but you can't tell the temperature. Grab a coat. I just don't need it's like outside, but you can't tell the temperature. Grab a coat. I think it's a great idea. You just don't need it. And the one that I saw had like, I mean, okay, maybe it did have Spotify, which would be cool.

But it was saying like YouTube and stuff. So what am I going to watch cat videos on my fridge? No, do a playlist on YouTube. Don't tell me if I put that in your house, you'd dispute it. He said he wouldn't want it. He said he'd dispute it. The other day, he was like, I would never put one of these in my house. It'd dispute it. He said he wouldn't want it. He said he'd dispute it the other day. He was like, I would never put one of these in my house. It's two minutes.

I don't need a screen on the fridge. I mean, if Samsung gave me a free one, I wouldn't say no. Because, you know, a new fridge would be great. But no. You don't need it. I mean, if Samsung wouldn't want to give us all free ones, that'd be fine. I'll just need to send you the dimensions. Don't send me a really wide one.

It won't fit in the current gap. Let's work this out. Right. Let's get us three fridges. I just don't see the point of having a TV on your fridge. To watch things. No, I like it because of like recipes and just like pictures. Because I always, we've got pictures of the kids on the fridge. So you can put like a slideshow on there.

So it was like a little picture-y thing. You know those little video cooking things? Yeah. That goes too quick and you put it on your TV, pause, go and do your bit. Yeah, come back. Play. Okay, recipes would be pretty cool on the fridge.

It would need to be elbow sensitive though because whenever I'm making anything, my hands are covered. So I'd need to be like, play and pause with my elbow. Right, okay. As long as you take all the protective stickers off. No, leave the protective,

leave it all there so it gets dirty and you can wipe it before. That's a good thing because then when you do peel it off, people are like, oh, you've got a new fridge.

You're like, well, actually, I've had it for six months. Yeah, but you spent six months with a protective screen on it. This is why, and people that have cell phone screen protectors,

risk it. No, because look, I put a big scratch on my screen in the first few days that I had it When I see people with bubbly screen protectors I'm like And when dust gets in the corner

So the dust stops sticking I get this thing that comes over me I'm like peel that off now Peel it off Producer Caitlin On the search looking for love Currently not on Bumble. It's the perfect time to try something out.

It's a little left field. Oh, God. What do I have to know? Hang on, Caitlin, just one moment. Okay. How much are moon boots? You know when they give you one at the hospital because you've bunged your leg? Oh, but you need a cast to fill out a moon boot.

No, you don't have a cast. You don't have to have a cast. What? It's in lieu of a cast. So it's like for a heavy sprain. Yeah. Or a fracture. Or a fracture, yeah.

How much is it? Can you rent them? On Amtech. I used to have one. I wonder if I've still got it. Well, you should have given it back. No, you keep them. They don't want it back.

It's had your nasty ass foot in it. You can put them in the dishwasher. Oh, you know what? Not bad. How much? 50 bucks. What? Yes. And that's the one that goes up to the knee. Yeah, no, this is the one we need. So, producer Kevin.

Oh, we could splash out the 61 and it's got like a brace tightening system like snowboard boots. You twist the thing and the whole thing tightens. Oh, that's nice. Do you have any with speakers? Bluetooth speakers? Yes. What is that name you're talking you have any speakers? Bluetooth speakers? Yes. What is that name you're talking about?

It's a beach by Drake. That would be a good side one. So, this is my idea, Caitlin. Friend of mine, friend of yours, has currently... Name them. A sprained foot. No, no names.

No names to protect. I know who we're talking about now. And has picked up in a moon boot in one wink twice. Because they think of the moon boot. They think the moon boot is the difference. Because it's a vulnerability, isn't it? It's a... How?

Ow. Ow. Oh, I need help. I need help. Like a limping puppy. Yeah, yeah. I need help. Like a limping puppy. Yeah, yeah. You're always like drawn to a limping animal, aren't you? Or a seagull with one leg.

You're still going to last in a long relationship. That's just for life. No, it's the door opener. It's the icebreaker. Exactly. Oh, yeah. The moon boot gets you in and then you're on your own. Now love me.

Yeah. Now love me. But hang on. How do you look sexy in a moon boot And what shoes do you wear You don't wear a shoe with a moon boot But then what do you wear on the other foot It has to be a flat one because otherwise you're like Because you had a moon boot didn't you

But then also this is really great Because you can go into a shoe store and just steal A shoe on display because you only need one I don't think that's a thing We're not encouraging stealing If I was an amputee I'd be stealing shoes all the time I mean you still need one. I don't think that's a thing. We're not encouraging stealing. If I was an amputee, I'd be stealing shoes all the time. I mean, you still need a shoe for the other, when you've got your, like, attachment on.

Oh, you raise a valid point. I've not really thought through this amputee lifestyle. So I'm thinking we get you a moon boot, Caitlin, that you can wear in the club. In the club. In the club. And lure in the honeys. Wait, does your friend go to the club with the moon boot on?

Well, on one occasion it was at the club that it worked. There's no stopping it. That would be good, though, because I could be on the dance floor, like, cutting some shapes, and then I could, like, see a hot guy, and then I'll, like, limp over to him and be like, oh, my leg, and then he'll be like, come with me. The doctor told me to take it easy. Yeah. Can you help me?

I need to sit down. Exactly. And then before you know it, you're married to them and you've got a couple of kids. I need to sit down. And then kids. Okay, cool. Alright. Oh, you're on board now. Yeah, that's good work. But you've, you're on board now. Yeah, this could work. But you've got to have a good story.

So what happened? Saving a shark from a crocodile attack. What is going on with your on-the-spot lie? That was outrageous. Saving a shark from a vicious crocodile attack. Like you were actually generating a fake response. It was like you were one of those Google AI robots and were like, hey, Google AI, tell a lie.

I was saving a shark from a crocodile. Well, we're going to have to work on that. We'll work on that. But I'm just saying this is an idea. That's the thing we give in a moon boot, but she's going to need to work on that. We'll work on that. But I'm just saying, this is an idea. That's the thing, we're giving a moon boot, but she's going to need the backup. There's $50. Yeah. We spent more on those one-size-fits-all traveling pants jeans.

Yeah. Like, think about that. But you're going to have to go with the lie forever, because if they found out you were wearing a fake moon boot to pick up. You just say, oh, I get it off on Tuesday. Okay. Because I'm nearly healed. Yeah, yeah, the doctor says I I get it off on Tuesday. Okay. Because I'm nearly healed. Yeah, yeah, the doctor says I can take this off on Tuesday. And then boom, the next date you're able

bodied and it's all on. Baby. Or keep it on maybe just for another week, another couple of dates. It's just an idea. Okay. Because you've tried dogs, you take that mini the dog for a walk, you've tried that, you've tried your, the dog, for a walk. You've tried that.

You've tried your adorable niece. Yeah. And nothing. To be honest, I've tried a lot. You've tried a lot. Is it tried yourself? Is there something else that we're missing? It's my face, isn't it?

It's my face. Can you get a moon boot for the face? I don't know. Maybe it's your mask.? I don't know. Maybe I should wear a mask. No, don't do that. On the same website, you can get some taping. We could tape your face up. You could say you were burnt while saving a shark.

A shark. The crocodile bit me on the face while I was saving the shark. Is there something that we're missing? Has someone ever got a date or picked up with something unusual, like a moon boot? Because like you say, the dog and baby, the cute dog and baby thing. Tried, tested, true, but if it's not working for you, maybe something weirder. Yeah, maybe like the moon boot.

You were in an accident and had a cast and all of a sudden you just found that you were getting dates and it was working for you. Maybe it's because you finally noticed them. First you're like, oh, that person's like in a moonbird or on crutches, and then you're like, oh, hey, actually. Yeah. Quite cute. Yes, right.

So maybe, like. It's your notice me thing. Right. Maybe that's it. But then you kind of have to be cute at the end of it, you know, once they look from the feet up. No, no, I'm not meaning you. How about this, Caitlin?

That was rude. I wasn't meaning Caitlin. Present company excluded. Thank you. How about this, Caitlin? That was rude. I wasn't meaning Caitlin. Present company excluded. Is this everyone else ugly? Yeah. Alright, okay. Alright, so 0800-DONZEDEM, let's take some calls. He contests 96 as well. What weird thing

has helped you get a date? Whether or not it was like a moon boot or a cast. Crutches. Maybe it was a mascot. Mobility scooter. Whatever. What's helped you? We're talking about maybe, I'm reluctant to say a disability,

but a disabling factor of a friend of the show has scored him two dates in one week. A moon boot. A moon boot has been worn due to a sprain of the lower leg. Well, it's a fracture. It's quite, yeah. Oh, is it a fracture? It's a fracture. I thought that would have been a cast more than a moon boot.

No, I had a moon boot for a fracture. Really? Yeah. Instead of a cast. And so the idea is maybe we splash out a bit of show budget to producer Caitlin. A moon boot. A moon boot.

Because you could wear this to the club and maybe meet your future husband. So we want to know those unusual techniques. Maybe it is, maybe it was the legit or maybe it was,

you know, you faked an injury with the moon boot so that you would, you know, and it would work in attracting the opposite sex.

How about this one? This is madness on the high scale. A friend and I, if it got to a certain part of the evening, would take turns punching each other in the face. It was my week. He'd punch me in the face and immediately leave so that he couldn't get in trouble with security. Girls would crowd around making sure you were okay.

Phenomenal success rate. And then when it was his week, I'd punch him in the face and quickly leave. Are you kidding me? Would you find that? I would feel so sorry for the guy. You would? Yeah.

He'd crowd over and be like, oh my God, are you okay? Would that work for you, Caitlin? Your beautiful face. I'm not saying you get punched, but if you saw a guy. No, because I might think he was a bit of trouble. I don't know if I want to be with guys. But he got punched. Yeah, I know, but then I might think that he like...

But he might need saving. You could change him. I wouldn't even think of that. I can see why this works. Deep down, he's a good guy, you know. I can just see, I could be the one to change him. Yeah. I would just be like, if he got punched, he, like, I feel sorry for him.

I don't care what happened. You don't punch someone. There you go. Oh, God, these guys are risking, like, facial injuries. Oh, yeah. You could break that beautiful nose. Somebody else said this 100% works. This comes from a female. Okay. There was a guy I used to like to suss on a

night out, who, like me, had asthma. Right. I used to pretend I'd lost my inhaler and was getting bad asthma on the dance floor. And one night he gave me a puff of the inhaler and said, you poor thing, let's get you out of here. And that was it. Oh, right. And they even finished their

text with, easy peasy. Easy peasy! Wow, that's insane! Lorraine. That's insane. Lorraine, what happened? I had to have ligament reconstruction surgery on my ankle. Okay. So I was in a cast for probably around about 12 weeks.

And then I went out with some of my girlfriends and I met my partner. And yeah, as of last month, we celebrated our three-year anniversary together. So you met him in a cast or a moon boot? In a moon boot. I had just removed my cast and then I just got him into the moon boot. This is what I'm saying. Three years. And the moon boot was the reason.

Yeah. On to something. So I reckon, Caitlin, you need to try it. Lock in a moon boot. I can purchase one right now. Well, I've got a spare one she can return it 50 bucks are they okay do you need it though no no um this was like i just obviously it's just been sitting in my wardrobe for like the last three years she's got her man she don't need no moon build no more. Yeah, that moon boot's done well.

Sisterhood of the travelling moon boot. And it's a lucky moon boot too. It's the lucky moon boot. It's the lucky moon boot. I think we should take you up on that, Lorraine. She's got to try something. Desperate measures. That kind of one, it's going to make.

All right, Lorraine, wait there. Some other text messages in. Somebody said, oh, we're a fake sling. Like the person that messaged in before. Worked an absolute treat. Do these people ever get found out? Don't know. Someone said I had shoulder surgery.

I was just about to stop using a sling. Didn't need it anymore. But for the first time, I went out to a big social function and a few great conversations from random girls started up. And I was like, you're staying with me, buddy. And that sling stayed on for a few weeks longer than it needed to. Oh my God. I didn't think about it.

That would also be a conversation starter. Like, oh, how did you hurt your foot? How did you hurt your arm? Yeah. And then that, and you kind of get into it that way. Someone said I was in a moon boot for three months over summer, which sounds like it would be awful. But when I wore it out, guys would carry my bag for me and be very chivalrous. It was their

chance to show that chivalry was still alive and well. Okay. Somebody asked me when I had an actual broken foot, I put a photo of my leg on Tinder. Worked a treat. Boys would bring me treats. Are you kidding? Pizza and burgers

delivered to Mandel. Just put it on when you want some food. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Okay, so Caitlin, did we get the, have we got Lorraine's details for the moon boot? Yeah.

The lucky moon boot. Now, I don't know if I should use it this weekend or I should wait for another weekend. We'll get it delivered and then we'll pick up somehow. You should just wear it around the home this weekend so you get used to it. Yeah, because I don't want to like fall over, but then or pick up somehow. You should just wear it around the home this weekend so you get used to it. Yeah, because I don't want to like fall over. But then if I fall over, they catch me.

Oh, no, wait. We need crutches. We need crutches as well. You can walk on a moonbird. You can walk on a moonbird. Oh, can you? These moonbirds are made for walking. And that's just what they'll do.

Right. One of these days, these moonbirds are going to walk all over you. Why is he on crutches and a moonbird? Is he getting extra sympathy? No, weight bearing comes later. Oh, right. You can just say you're at the weight bearing stage.

Okay. This is great. And then we'll go undercover with cameras at the club. Oh, God. I'm not going to pick up that way. I'll be too self-conscious of you.

We'll warm you up nicely, but don't go straight to the club. We'll go to the RSA. Now, those old boys, any excuse for a trip to the RSA, but those old boys will crowd around. Friday Flashbacks.

Oh, God. I can see the song. January 2005. What a time to be alive. Oh, was it? I'm okay with this. I think we're ready. This song received a remix in 2013.

Okay. That remix went to number one in Australia. Really? The original went to number one in New Zealand. Oh, so what are you going to play? The remix? The original. Okay.

No, because the remix would not fit the parameters of Flashback Fridays being at least 10 years old. It's also appeared in movies and TV shows and it pops up every now and then. You're like, that's right. What movie was this in? Knocked Up. Knocked Up. That's right.

When they're in the club and they're dancing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It came on and I was like, this is that song. It's from New Zealand. It's in the movie. Weird. Great. Yeah.

Good for us here in little old New Zealand. What a time to be alive. Well, without further mucking about, today's Friday Flashback is Swing by Savage. Oh, the intro's a little longer than I remember. Two, one. Here it goes. Oh, it's shit. My movie like a gypsy.

Stop all backing up now. Let me see your hips. Oh, it's shit. Here, guys. Now drop it low and let me see your head swing. Down to the floor, now let me see your head swing. Savage, Swing, it's your Friday flashback today from 2005. It was a New Zealand number one song. Australia made it to number one after a remix with... Who did the remix? Joel. Joel Fletcher did a remix. But then Soulja Boy had a remix as well.

And that was the one that got released in the United States. Right. Okay. It's really, really good. Only one... Is it? Honestly, honestly, one, what is this crap you just killed Friday morning? Oh, sorry about that. Buzzkill, you killed it.

You, cold-ass. You're bad at it, cold-ass. People loving it, saying this is the first time a two-year-old's heard this. Loves the swing bit. I don't know if the two-year-old quite understands the back the ass up and let me see the swing situation. But either feedback, yas, I'm doing another block. That means they're going

around the block again before they go into work so they can hear the end of it. What a tune. Someone said, this used to play in Family Bar back in the day

and the gays went wild for it. Really? Yeah, apparently that's what somebody said. So I'm pleased. I'm pleased this was a sort of a universal hazing for

sexualities across the spectrum. I didn't know that Savage was a gay icon, much like Madonna, Cher, Lady Gaga. He might never have known. He might never have known. Savage might never have known. Well, it goes over that he has one name. Cher, Madonna, Gaga. Yep.

All the gay icons only need to travel by one name. Do gays not like syllables? I think they just want to get it out and get on with it. Right. Right. Okay. That's what happens. We ready to move on?

Yes. Because I'm excited about this. Right now, Erin from Love Island, Australia, joins us on the phone. Hi, Erin. Oh, hi, guys. How are you going? I'm so happy that you guys want to be on here. Of course.

Oh, our pleasure. Can I, like... Oh, look, just before you begin, Megan, I'd like to thank you, Erin, on behalf of boyfriends, husbands everywhere who have won some unhindered Fortnite or PUBG or just video game time. And this Love Island, you know, hour-long episodes,

multiple nights of the week, have just given us so, so much time to do that with our wives, you know, glued to whatever device they're watching it on so we can play PlayStation. Thank you so much time to do that with our wives, you know, glued to whatever device they're watching it on so we can play PlayStation. Thank you so much from everybody. I am so grateful that I could help out. See, I was doing it for everyone else out there, really.

How much of it have you actually watched back yourself? Oh, my God. Okay, so I'm officially up to episode four and I'm already cringing. No, oh, my God, my eyeliner. Like, I'm a fan of eyeliner, but Jesus, I took it too far sometimes. No, I liked the eyeliner. It was like, it's perfection.

Is there anything, having watched it back then, that you regret so far, what you've seen? Or that you can remember? Really, I honestly regret nothing. Like, I'm as crazy as you say that I am. I'm literally like that in person. Okay. Like, you know how people say things like, oh, I'm different behind closed doors?

I am not. Exactly. Can you tell us two nice things about Millie? Okay. Yeah, I'll have to get back to you on that one. So, do you actually really hate each other? It's like one of those things where our personalities are so crazy that we're either going to be best friends or worst enemies.

And obviously we were besties. No, so we were not friends. I was going to say, you haven't seen the final yet, but she was rolling her eyes at you during the final when you're standing up there. Yeah, but Millie rolls her eyes all the time at me, so it'd be weird if she didn't do that. Right.

Also, spoiler alert, Megan, she's only up to episode four. She doesn't know she makes the final. Yeah, that's just rude. I saw that you and Eden have gone Facebook official over the past couple of days. So you guys are definitely still together. We are 1,000% still together.

I'm actually seeing him on Monday. We've taken this week to spend with our family and friends. Yeah. And so I'm seeing him Monday. I'm going up there with Cassidy and Francois. It's been neat, yeah. One thing a lot of the girls around here want to know is, do you guys get free clothes? And do you get your hair and makeup done?

Oh, my God, no. So we were sponsored by a pretty little thing. But I'm awkwardly shaped. I don't fit into everything. And what was the next question? Oh, hair and makeup. No, we're doing hair and makeup at home. If you're awkwardly shaped, I'm not fitting into anything from Pretty Little Pants.

That's fine. We can just not fit into everything together. Yeah, me and you, we'll go shopping somewhere else. Yeah, that's okay, dear. Because everyone's hair and makeup was so perfect all the time. Was that just you guys? Oh, my God. You know, that is the glow of stress, okay?

Because you wouldn't always have a long time to get ready. So that is the glow of stress. I can tell you now, though, I can get ready to go for a night out within 10 minutes. Wow. Wow. Okay. So what has the public been like when you got back to Australia on the street?

How are people treating you? Oh, my God, really good. So when I came out, I realised at the start it was a lot of love and then at the end of it, it was like hate. And then now it's like love again. I'm just like, I can't keep up. It's actually amazing. It's weird. You just go for coffee and everyone's like,

oh my God, Erin from La Favre. And I'm like, oh my God, who are you? Well, they've been so invested in your life and they think they know you, but they don't. Oh my God, I know. They say everything. It's so weird. They're like, oh my God, I love when you said this and't. Oh my God, I know like they say everything, it's so weird. Like,

oh my God, I love when you said this and that. I'm like, wait, when? When was that said? I'm like,

why would I say that? And then I've been like watching snippets and I'm like, oh shit, I did say that. Erin, we're going to come back

with you in just a second because we have a little feature called Snapchat, Snapchat, where people send in questions for you. So our listeners

have got some questions for you. All right, the next. Okay, I'm ready. Snap, snap, snap, snap, Snapchat. Snapchat. Snapchat.

And it's a special edition of Snapchat, Snapchat today. Juicy questions, I feel, are on the way for Erin from Love Island. Are you prepared? Okay, here we go. Bring it. Okay, okay. The thing about Snapchat is that we've not opened these questions before. Okay, so we're all in it together. Yeah, so we open it. The thing about Snapchat is that we've not opened these questions before. Okay, so we're all in it together.

So we open it and within the first millisecond make a judgment whether or not to take our finger off and go to the next one. If it's somebody's penis, it's good because you don't see it on the radio. That's just rude. No need to fix for me. I can screen cap it and send it to you later if you want.

Alright, okay. First Snapchat. Only answer the videos. Here we go. Do you think anyone went on the show just to get famous? No, I don't think so. No, I actually think everyone in there was like, just came in to see what would happen.

I don't think anyone was like, I'm going to go there and be famous because what if someone hated you? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, next question. Hey, Erin. How do you feel about

the rumours that Eden had a girlfriend outside the villa? Okay, so when I heard that rumour, I was like, okay, here we go because Eden's so good looking

and everyone wants a piece of him, right? Yeah. I'm like, but like, who has the bracelet with the name on it? Me.

Not you. And have you, like, since you've left, is that completely untrue? Yeah, no, it's completely untrue. My friends, right, went, like, full stalkers and, like, tracked all those people down and, like, got them to admit that it wasn't true.

And I was like, I've got such great friends. Well, so they actually, like, went out of their way to lie, those people. No, like, so what happened was, I don't know, it was, like, anonymous that somebody, like, because there's photos of Eden and exes, like, up on the internet, just, like, there's photos was, I don't know, it was, like, anonymous that somebody, like, because there's photos of Eden and exes, like, up on the internet, just like there's photos of me and exes. Yeah.

And someone took those photos and just said, oh, my God, he's still with these girls. And then the girls were like, oh, no. Ah, right, okay. The internet. All right, next question. Hey, Erin, I was just wanting to know if you're that protective of your boyfriends in the outside world

because you came across a little crazy. Oh. Shots fired. Okay, so I am that crazy normally in life, but I'm only that crazy if I really generally don't like a girl. As you can see in the villa, I wasn't that crazy with every girl. It was only Millie. But I just, I also don't understand how you're so angry with Eden

and then like two seconds later it's all good and you're like laughing. I know. And the thing is, in my past relationships, I got over a fight in like two years afterwards, right? Right. So with Eden, I got over it within two seconds and I'm like, what the hell? He just makes me smile and I forget.

And then like I'm like, no, remember why you're angry. All right, next question. I saw in an interview that you have got plastic surgery and that you want to get more. What else do you want to get done? Okay. Yeah, I'm so open about plastic surgery. I honestly don't even mind it.

I would love to get my boobs done again, but apparently this is as big as I can go, which is unfortunate. Oh, so you'd want to go bigger? Yeah, I've always wanted to go bigger, even when I got this size and the surgeon was like, well, just, no, you can't get bigger. And I was like, you're so rude and professional.

You're so little, though. I feel like you'll topple over. Oh, that's fine. Don't pick me back up. Okay, next question. Did you and Aidan have sex in the villa? Yeah, we did. Yeah, we did.

I'm not going to hide that. I love it how everyone's really scared to say if they did or not I don't understand why we're all adults but I'm not going to tell you if other people in the villa had sex because that's up to them because I was going to say Taylor and Grant are like Eden and Erin are the only ones who did it in the villa I was like whatever

I know I was like well that's fine I'm like we're f***ing adults here I'm like oh no I didn't even touch him of course I touched him have you seen Eden? f*** no alright okay we've got time for one more question and he's like, oh, no, I didn't even touch him. Of course I touched him. Have you seen Eden? F*** no. All right, okay. We've got time for one more question.

Is there any truth to the rumours that you and Eden knew each other before you went on the show? I've heard that one so many times. No, I swear on my life I didn't know who Eden was. I actually appreciate that because it must look like we've known each other for so long. Yeah. But you've never met? No, never met. He lives in Sydney. I live in Melbourne.

I hardly go to Sydney. Oh, true. Oh, well, thank you so much for talking to us. I really enjoyed watching you on Love Island and all the best with Eden. Oh my god, no, thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you guys having me on. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about a functionally extinct breed of tiger.

Oh, okay. The South China tiger. I didn't know this. I've just been reading. What is functionally extinct? I'll tell you what that means in a moment. But I've been reading and I didn't know this, but tigers, the earliest

known tigers were from China. The oldest drawings they can find of tigers are from China. They were always in China. Tigers were even quite prevalent there until sort of semi-recent

history when it started expanding in more farmland and stuff. And Chairman Mao, who was a massively changed China last century, did a thing called a pest clean. And anything that lived on land that was a risk to farmers, because they had such a booming population, it all needed to be growing food. And all of these tigers got wiped out. Oh.

So that's why. And I've never known why the tiger's such an important role in the Chinese horoscope because I'm like, well, there's no tigers in China. Yeah. And that's just because

over the last couple of hundred years, so many of them have been killed and used for medicine. You know how there's lots of old Asian medicinal... Tiger balm. Made from tigers until they became hard to come by.

Sure. Or for tigers. But you know, like rhino horns and stuff, like a lot of the poaching is because of these old medicinal things that actually don't work. Well, the South China tiger is a really beautiful tiger, if you see a picture of it. It's like a textbook tiger.

Hold on, I'll show you a photo. And you can judge by Fletcher's reaction because he loves cats. I like cats. Oh, that's beautiful. It's a textbook tiger. Hold on, I'll show you a photo and you can judge by Fletcher's reaction because he loves cats. I like cats. Oh, that's beautiful. It's a beautiful tiger. So the South China tiger is functionally extinct. Now that means it no longer exists in the wild,

although there are still South China tigers. And when I read the basic headline of this, while they're considered functionally extinct, one banker owns 19 of them in captivity in South Africa. What? I'm like one man, 19 tigers. Because that was a stat at one stage. There were more privately owned tigers in the United States of America than there were left in the wild.

Oh, wow. Okay. Because people were buying them. Yeah. I'm imagining not great conditions for a tiger to be kept. Like Mike Tyson and The Hangover. So I'm thinking this guy, this Stuart Bray, this banker, he's a bad guy. But the more I read about it is that he and his wife took it upon themselves to save this species.

And their dream is for them to be re-released into the wild. But at the moment, they don't think China's ready for it. We'll release them somewhere else. Well, that's why he's got them on the, and when I say in captivity in South Africa, they're not in cages. They're in a massive sprawling ranch and they get fed and everything. Yeah, so

kind of like a wildlife reserve, but there's 19 of them, but technically because there are fences, it's called captivity. So they're functionally extinct in the wild, but there's 19 of them in South Africa. So when do you get enough that you're like, all right, release them? So I don't know if this is wild thinking.

And like with breeding, the way it is with that smaller gene pool of these sorts of tigers left, he said when he gets to 100, he wants to start. And it's important to him that they learn to hunt and breed and everything before they're re-released into the wild.

But he said at about 100, he'd be pleased to re-release them. So it started out, you thought he was a bad guy, didn't you? Yeah. Now he doesn't seem like so much of a bad guy, does he? No. Unless he's training them to be his tiger army. Then he's back to being a bad guy.

I'm sure he's. Because I couldn't fight a tiger. No. Okay, maybe. So today's fact of the day is the South China tiger is functionally extinct. However, a banker called Stuart owns 19 of them in South Africa.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. The Emmy nominations are out So that's TV right? Purely two books Yes There is a series That has had in its total lifetime 129 Emmy nominations now

Hit me with your Game of Thrones Yep Easy Easy I was thinking What's been running long enough to get that It's got 22 Emmy nominations this round.

So yeah, 129 in total now. You just can't deny though, that show is incredible. And we're all hanging out for the final season. 100%. Yeah. So Saturday Night Live and Westworld, they got 21 nominations each. The Handmaid's Tale, 20 nominations. The final of season two was last night.

Here comes all the spoilers. No, I'm joking. No spoilers. The Smiths have dos episode to go. So you're watching both final Handmaids tonight? Penultimate and final tonight, yeah. Season two. Well, we need a bottle of...

We'll need a fresh bottle of shardy. Yes. Yeah, she's a... It's a roller coaster. I haven't mouthed open a couple of times, like. Oh, like. Shut up.

A wine's not going to be enough, I'm going to need some spirits. Do you have air problems in your flat? Like trying to explain to a kid how to balance her ears when the plane's coming down.

Netflix collectively earned 112 nominations. Wow. Which. That's nominations. Wow. That's huge. Yeah. I think HBO has dominated, yeah, for 17 years. So Netflix has taken over. So The Crown, Godless, Stranger Things, Glow, and Queer Eye.

What are Queer Eye's for? I hate it. I can't do it. You watched Nailed It though. You watched YouTube. No, it didn't need to be a series. You can watch it. You can look at the Pinterest fails.

Queer Eye is so much better than Nailed It. It gives you all the feels. Yeah, right. Look, the first season of Queer Eye, I liked it. It was a lot to take in. But this Tom and Abby thing, on again, off again, you know, it just annoyed me so much.. But this Tom and Abby thing, on again, off again, you know, it just annoyed me so much. The what?

Tom and Abby. That old guy is like, you can't flex ugly. But that's not the guy's fault. It's not the program's fault. Oh, no, no, no, it's not. No, it's just tarnished them, really. They've been degraded. But they nailed it not getting the Emmy nomination.

Christ. What's wrong with the world? That episode of Black Mirror where it's called USS Callister, the one that everyone loved so much that they thought it might be its own spin-off show. They got seven nominations just for that single episode. Which one was that? That was the one with the guy Todd off Breaking Bad,

and he was a real nerd and kept real quiet at work, but at home he was like a maniac. That's right. Yeah. That one. Right. Did you know that one? No.

Did you watch Black Mirror? Yeah, some of it. Oh. Some of it? What's wrong with you? Like, sure, it's a bit much to binge. It's a dark, it's a dark look at the future.

And then I read the little synopsis and I pick which one. He takes the swabs of them and takes it home and puts it in his... No, I don't think I've watched that one. That's one of the best ones. It was such a great idea.

And for the first time, even Modern Family. No nominations. They've won Best Comedy five years in a row. Didn't even get nominated this year. Oh, I think we're a bit... We want something new. Are we over it? Yeah, we're over it.

It's a funny show, but let's pick something else. Yeah, it'll be the first time since 2009 that something other than Modern Family or Veep will win. Always a good, if you need a new show to binge, is to go through a list like the Emmy nominations and all the categories. Yeah. Because you might find your new favourite show

that you've kind of haven't gone on. That show This Is Us has got some nominations because I was just looking at the list for a show. I've heard that's really sad. I know. People say the sad outweighs the happy. I'm happy to have the sad, but I've got to have the happy.

Got to have the happy. A couple have lost, and this is a fear of mine because this is exactly where I keep my passport when I travel. Okay. And my wife always says, why don't you put it in your bag?

And I'll be like, no, I'll just leave it here because I don't need to fill out that card thing. I need to know the number and the details and everything. But a couple lost their passports in the little magazine holder. In the seat in front of you. In the seat in front of you. You always put your passport in there because you need it to fill in your arrival form. Yeah.

I grab my wallet, my phone, my passport, and I put it as a bunch. And then I just squeeze it in there. Oh, that's living dangerously. But they lost theirs. They could not find it. Do you know what? Because you're looking for a headphone case for your headphones. Yeah.

Noise cancelling, because I've got those. I put everything in the case. Then you can't lose it. It would also be very, very handy. Unless you leave the case on the plane. Yeah, but that's big and bulky. That'll be also one of those things you'll try to find a good spot for

because you know the minute something gets more than about an inch thick, you put it in that magazine thing, your knee space is gone. Yeah. And it sits weirdly against the fold-down tray table. Yep. So they got on the plane,

got flying, put their passports in the magazine pocket, stepped off. They didn't have them. They didn't have, they hadn, put their passports in the magazine pocket, stepped off. They didn't have them. They didn't have, they hadn't got the passports out. Yeah. They're like, oh, we've left our passports on.

They go back on. They can't find them anywhere. In the magazine thingy. No, nowhere. Like the flight attendants, everybody was helping them search the plane. They searched the bathrooms, everywhere they went on the entire plane. Couldn't find it. Oh, so someone stole it. They were on the ground for 30 minutes before having to be sent back to the plane. They searched the bathrooms, everywhere they went on the entire plane. Couldn't find it. They were on the ground for 30 minutes

before having to be sent back to the UK. They literally lost their passports on the plane. And you know, the weirdest part about this is where they landed was Greece. And we mentioned before on the show that we literally walked into Greece and no one even stopped us to ask us more than one question.

No. How long was that flight that they took and then had to turn around and do it again? A couple of hours. More than five hours? Oh, right. To Greece?

No, a couple. From London to Greece. I'm sure it's five hours because it blew my mind because I thought they were like straight down. Who's going to win? But it's not.

It's straight down and it's across. It is non-stop three hours 40 minutes. Oh, it was in the middle of the day. Three and a half hours.

We must have taken the long one. We went down and around Spain. We did. No, we had a stopover. No, the stopover was on the way back.

I don't want to argue in front of the children about our holiday, honey. But the stopover was on the way back. We had a stopover in Amsterdam on the way back.

Because they have these crazy rules in Europe where if your flight's delayed, they pay you out. What do you mean? Can you imagine that? For your whole flight?

Yeah. That's right. Oh, delay me. But they make it impossible. Delay me. No, but they make it impossible.

There's hoops. There's hoops. Like, what did we have to do? Because it was KLM, but they didn't have an office in New Zealand. Oh, you had to send it away. I was relentless, Megan.

I got that $100 for all of us. And I just put mine in Fletcher's envelope. Yeah. Because he was on a charge. And I was relentless. I got a refund. There you go. Not that we even really cared, eh?

Because we got there about the same time. Yeah. Because they gave us another flight, but we still got our money. Yeah. But they do the stuff. It's great, anyway. But anyway, they didn't get to just walk through Greece like, hi, we're here to give you some of our money. They had to turn around and go home. They were on the ground

for 30 minutes. So just keep an eye on it. So do we know what happened to their passports? No, they still haven't, they never found them. Someone else must have grabbed them, or they must have got knocked on the floor and someone picked them up. But they're gone, and they had to go home. Do you know what? Because when I flew recently to Thailand, the little pocket had a hole. The whole bottom had a hole in it.

So anything I put in there fell down and I didn't notice until halfway through the flight. So it could have all rolled down the back of the plane because there was a hole in the little thing. I lost a good Captain America pencil like that. R.I.P. Granted, I got the Captain America pencil through the same thing. It was rolling down the runway, the aisle, and I was like, pencil, picked it up. My wife's like, are you going to see what kid dropped that pencil?

I was like, finest keepers, losers weavers, international order, salvage rights. But then I lost it the same way. It rolled and I was like, oh, well, easy come, easy go. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. For more, well, easy come, easy go.
