Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Well, Vaugh everyone's just arguing With someone on Facebook

Oh yeah I didn't even know What it was about Apparently I think it was you Put a video on our Facebook page A couple of years ago Some Australians

Having a barney somewhere Like having a fisticuffs In a Oh And like Yeah yeah yeah Feral Yeah yeah

And you referred to them as feral Well because they were Yeah but That's why I was so confused because this Jack character, whose profile picture is a Nike logo, but the swoosh has got teeth. Oh, okay, right. So no, no photos of Jack to be seen. He launched in with very abusive intro.

Right. An opening sort of, I usually start with hello. Right. He started with the C word. Right. An opening sort of, I usually start with hello. Right. He started with the C word. Okay. And then I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. And he says, one of your effing posts. You said Australians are feral. Eff along C.

Like all this. Right. And I'm like, oh man, that was ages ago. I wouldn't be too worried about that. And then he called me a wajala. And I didn't know too worried about that. And then he called me a wajala. And I didn't know what that meant. Right. And then I saw he works

at Culture Kings in Australia. Yeah. And I said, I love Culture Kings because of the selection of hats. Yeah, they've got big hats. It was very loud.

I went into one when I was in the service recently at Pacific Mall. Christ, it was loud. Yeah. Like you'd put your earplugs in. Right.

But he didn't like that either. He didn't like that. He called me a cheeky, and then another swear word. I said, no, it was true. True story. Great selection of hats. I just saw that you work there under your profile. Right.

And then he said, IDGAF. Yep. Which I believe stands for, I don't give a, yeah, Dua Lipa. Will make you wheeze. But like the offensive word for wheeze. I don't give a, yeah, Dua Lipa. We'll make you wheeze, but like the offensive word for wheeze, I don't know what that means. Just proving the feral point, really, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

locking it down, and his uncle's gonna get me. That's a great, there's nothing worse than if you're trying to yell at someone and they chuck you some compliments, you'll be like, no, we're having an argument. No, no, I want to talk about Culture Kings. Good hats, great sizes. You know, I struggle to find a hat.

And you've got a big head, don't you? Big head, big head and a deep head. It's a deep head. Like the distance from eyebrow to peak to summit is quite a bit. Yeah. And then I'm like that. I'm not like Everest. I'm that other one. K quite a bit. Yeah. And then I'm like that. I'm not like Everest. I'm that other one.

K2. Right. Or is it Kilimanjaro that really just comes out of nowhere. Right. And gets quite tall. Vesuvius.

What? Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius. You're more like a Mount Maunganui. Thank you. In terms of like your head.

Yeah, it's rounded. It's more of an ears rock. Yeah, enough on the top for like a family to stand on and take a head. Yeah, it's rounded. It's more of an ears rock. Yeah, enough on the top for like a family to stand on and take a selfie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a pic at sunrise. Yeah, a great place to go for a run up if, you know, you're trying to tell everybody you've done some fitness. Sure. All right, you lot, listen up.

It's story time. All right, I've delved into the worldwide web to find three news headlines, three interesting news stories. Vaughan and Megan, you pick one headline out of the following three. Headline one, wine with hints of oak and old mouse. Oh, yeah. Headline two, father teaches six-year-old

how not to clean gun. And headline three, best internship ever. Those are the headlines. So there was a mouse in the wine distillery barrel. Do you call it a distillery? No, because you're not distilling wine, are you? I don't know what you call it. Winery?

You're whining it. Selling it. In the wine cellar? In the cellar. And it got in the wine? Yeah. That's the wine. Yeah. That's pretty grim. Yeah.

Did the dad shoot himself while he was showing the son? Yeah. Someone got shot. Someone got shot. What was three best internship ever? Yeah. Best internship ever. I can only assume that's the story of intern Anya's time with us.

Best internship ever. In fact, I think intern Anya would probably love this internship even more than she loves her internship now. Is it paddleboard related? No, it's actually not, no. Is it bath related? She's a bath influencer. Is your internship here finished?

Like two years ago? Yeah, about two years ago. Life's one big internship. Life's one big internship. How many times does she have to tell you she's not an intern anymore? She's an intern. And she's always taking holidays. At what point will I graduate to full-time employee?

When there's someone below you in the rankings on the show. I've only just graduated. Megan's not even a senior announcer. Intermediate at best. Oh, Jesus. So I've got 10 years to wait. At least, yeah. Well, you're not even

junior broadcaster yet. Or you could just ignore what these two say, which is how I get through life. He goes internship for years and years and years. Junior broadcaster. Intermediate. Intermediate. Senior.

Senior. Senior announcer. Right, so where's Megan? So you're intermediate. She's intermediate. Okay, cool. Right, good stuff. I'm just trying to map it out in my head.

But yeah. Okay. So this internship, a Texas mattress company is advertising this internship. They're looking for somebody to do their social media, but also to test out the products and sleep quite a bit at work. Oh my God, that sounds so good. Not only that, but you get to take home

some of the beds or you can sleep overnight. How many beds do you need though? I don't know. Or you can sleep overnight in the store or the factory or whatever. But yeah,

they basically want someone who loves to nap. That is the best job ever. They're calling this a snooze turn. You won't be an intern, you'll be a snooze turn. But is the pay real rubbish? Well, it's an internship, yeah. Is it a free internship?

No, they're paying. Are they? Yep. What's the catch? You've just got to be 18 or older, proficient in napping, regardless of the time of day. Are they going to really struggle to find a millennial

who loves a nap. Like that. They're the first, oh no, I'd say a little bit older. Generation Y, before that, napping was something

to kind of be ashamed of. But our generation and below now, like, passionately embrace the nap. Oh yeah, you've got to. Like, you imagine your mum and dad, they'd be like, like passionately embrace the nap. Oh, yeah, you've got to. Like you imagine your mum and dad, they'd be like, I had to have a nap.

I was a bit tired. I had to have a nap. And it's like the end of the world. They're embarrassed. They're like, I just, it was a late night. I feel embarrassed. I had to have a nap. Whereas we're like, oh, you know what I did yesterday?

I had a nap. And everyone's like, oh, yeah. Yeah. How long? You're like, two and a nap. And everyone's like, oh yeah. Yeah? How long? You're like, two and a half hours. Everyone's like, damn. Or you go home and you're like, oh, I'm real tired. I might have a wee nap.

And dad's always like, what's bloody wrong with you? I've been up since 5 a.m. I'm still going. And you go, oh. You want a medal. Bully for you. I'm going to go have a nap. He doesn't have to scroll through all the social media though.

No, that's tiring. Mentally draining. It's very mentally draining. We're very proud of our napping. Broadcasting Standards Authority puts out this list every year of the most unacceptable words in broadcasting. So it's things

that we're not allowed to say, obviously. But in order of offense... Well, you can say it, but you've got to be willing to face the consequence. Oh yeah, we're getting allowed to say, obviously. But in order of offense... Well, you can say it, but you've got to be willing to face the consequence. Oh, yeah, we're getting trumps. Yeah. So it goes right down to, I can see, 31 places. So it is listed in order of most offensive to least support. Let's say that despite the fact that this is New Zealand,

the C-bomb is still number one, right? It's always... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The number one, isn't it? Without fail. Actually, it's getting less offensive, but it is still number one. It's down 9% on last year. Yeah, it's plummeting.

Its value on the swear market is plummeting. People are shocked, though, when they visit New Zealand and how freely we use that C-bomb. Yeah. But we use it as like a gesture of good, like a term of endearment. Yeah, like that guy's a GC. We can be a noun,

you know, like a noun for a good or a bad or an animal. It's so versatile. Yeah, so that's down 9% but like I said, still number one. Now, I'm going to struggle to do this but one overarching trend in the list this year is that racial terms,

a lot of these are the first time they've ever been in the list. So number six, not going to read it out to you, but it's a racial term. It's a very offensive racial term. It is the first time it's ever been in there. At number six. Someone's going to have to tell the talkback people upstairs.

About offensive racist terms. At Newstalk ZB. Leighton's retiring soon anyway. The N word, very offensive, was place number three. This year it's place number two. So second most offensive word. What did it switch with? The C bomb's still up there.

N-word's number two. Jesus Christ. Are you kidding? It's number three. Or F. Jesus F Christ. Right. Frederick Christ.

Jesus Frederick Christ. That's the third most. It's the third most. Wow, okay. Is it the teaming up? What makes that so offensive? It's the teaming up of the Jesus, the Christ. So you've got a bit of blasphemy, then you've got the F word mixed in.

Because I can tell you blasphemy overall down. Jesus Christ on its own, down to 29th place. My mum doesn't tell me off as much for blasphemy anymore. She used that even, yeah, like not even that long ago. Don't say that. Yeah. I think my kids said, my kids just got back, and I think one of them said, God damn it, in front of her.

And she was like, we don't say that. But you were laughing? Yeah. There's offensive words for homosexuality in here as well. That's the best way I can put it. Good. Number seven is the one that you're probably thinking of,

and also for the first time ever, in there, place number 11 is just starting with H. A four-letter word starting with H, which I don't want to say. Really? Is in there for the first time ever at place number 11. So, blasphemy down, like homophobic terms up and racist terms up, which is good, New Zealand. I think that's great.

Now for the fun part. How far, starting at the least offensive, can we go up the list? What's number 31? Oh, I don't know how far we can go. Okay, 31 is God. Okay. That's fine.

That's down. I already said that. Yeah, you did. Shit is place number 30. Probably already said that at some stage of the year. Yeah, mate, maybe. Jesus Christ, 29. It's weird to me that that's so far down the list,

but chuck an F in the middle of it, and it becomes the second or third most offensive team. Yeah. Yeah, I can't explain that. Okay. Bastard is 28. That feels good to say. It just rolls you, bah, And then you get that Nice round

Bah And then you hit the Stah And then the Arr On the end Bastard 27

I actually find this word Not very nice It's like a Like you A prick Spiked your finger Yeah You prick

Yeah okay 26 I don't know I don't like that word I think it's not nice Oh that's an old person insult Oh he was being a real prick. Like, that's when they're really wound up.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, he was wild. He was being such a prick. Oh, watch it. Don't. Careful. 26 is dick. 25 is bitch.

24 is arsehole. Megan! Megan! Is it bad when I reel them off? That was too far. I think we're true. We're averaging one every 10 seconds. Oh, do I need to space them out?

You can't just be like, oh yeah, bitch, dick and asshole are up next. Sorry. I was trying to do it fast to get it done. No, you've made it worse. You've made it worse. I'm sorry. My apologies. I love how much words freak people out.

But I understand those prejudiced words. I'm pleased to see racist terms and homophobic terms going higher because that's prejudiced stuff. But other words that really have an emotional tie to it, they're just fun to say. And to be honest, I think that's probably where we need to stop. From there, it gets steadily downhill that's probably where we need to stop. From there it gets steadily downhill.

What number did we get to? 23. So there are 22 more words. Yeah, 23 more words. 23 more words that we can't say. No. You can probably say, wanker. We've got one more spot.

One more spot. What's next? Next is a Maori word Wanker. We've got one more spot. One more spot. No. One more spot. What's next? That's 23. What's next? Oh, no. Next is a Māori word, so I don't. It's in Māori, and I don't know what it is, so I'd rather not say it. Are you serious?

Yeah. Well, I need to know what that is now. Oh, no. It's fun saying swear words in other languages. I don't know what it is, so I'd really rather not say it. Oh, I don't know what that is either. Kāia te kuri. What is it?

You just offended someone. Oh, there's another. There's is either. Kaya te kuri. What is it? You just offended someone. Oh, there's another. There's a few. We've got a few Māori words. That looks like a Samoan word there. Yeah, there's a few. Okay, well, let's not say that. Let's not say that.

Let's move on now. Let's move on. It's funny seeing them all written down. I like swear words. Okay, step away from the list. You shouldn't have shown him the list because he's going to say something. There's a Tinder profile that has gone viral. It is a female nurse, and it's because it's a little bit creepy.

So it starts off okay. Her name is Nicole. She is the start of her bio. That is creepy. That's put you off already, is it? She's cute. She says she's a 26-year-old registered nurse looking for a lifetime partner. She wants a man who's hardworking, humble, healthy, and trustworthy.

Is this a New Zealand profile? No, I don't think so. Okay. So healthy, I think, is in capitals. But, I mean, apart from that, everything seems kind of okay so far. Then her description of her perfect partner says, he must have both lungs and kidneys, heart with a sinus rhythm. She wants a non-smoker.

She will settle for an occasional drinker, but she doesn't want anyone that takes substances that might damage the liver. Okay. So internal organ health is very important to this. Is she planning on harvesting these organs? That's why it sounds so creepy.

That's where it ends. Or is she just wanting a nice clean man? No, but like, you go there and do you wake up in an ice bath? Yeah, because what sort of substances do you take that could harm your liver? Booze, right? Alcohol, yeah. So she wants someone that doesn't drink.

I know, but it would be less creepy just to say. I reckon it's got to be a fake profile. But is it a fake profile by like someone crazy who wants to cut someone open? Harvest livers. Or is it just someone having a laugh? Because it's not really funny. So it's creepy.

You wouldn't be swiping on that. Oh, people would still be swiping on it. Guys would just be taking a chance. Some people don't read the bios. They just swipe. Yeah. And they'll be like, she's hot, swipe, I'm there. Nicole, 26, nurse, done.

She's invited you around and you wake up in an ice bath. You've got to be so careful. When a Eastern European man is holding you down and cutting out your liver, he'll be like, no, this is the liver of a drinker. Lie to Nicole. FVM, the podcast.

When Donald Trump was in the UK, he was there for three days for the Queen, only met him for one day. But, despite the fact that she's not supposed to have any political opinions, she's supposed to remain neutral on all political matters, she might have staged her own

little quiet protest. Sass. Middle finger. Through brooches. This is, I read this article. There has never been a more queenly way of sassing someone than by using brooches. You know how you get those, you get like plane spotters and train spotters and just people that are just fascinated by one area.

Yeah. And they take photos and they research and they know everything. There are brooch spotters. There's communities in the UK who are dedicated to the brooches that the Queen wears. Well, these people are just fascinated with everything the royals do, down to how they sit and all that kind of thing. So one person, a woman, Julie, has taken to Twitter

to share her insight into this. And everyone's like, oh, my God, yes. So day one, she did a three day protest. So this was the whole time Donald Trump was there even though she only met him for one day. So day one, she wore the brooch

that was given to her by Obama and Michelle and Barack Obama. So it was a personal gift that they had bought themselves that they gave to her. And I'm imagining she gets gifted brooches all the time. Willy nilly.

So many. Because she always wears them. And what do you buy? A queen? And if it's like a personalized made one from, you know, scratch and there's none other like it, then that is a very special gift. But given she'd have hundreds,

quite fitting she chose to wear that one. I wonder if we've ever gifted her a brooch. I'll have a look. New Zealand? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Made of like greenstone or something. Oh yeah, she'd love that.

That'd be beautiful. Might just speak on her behalf. Oh, she'd love that. She'd love that. So that was on day one. That's not the day she met Donald Trump. She met him on day two and that's when she chose to wear a diamond brooch,

which to look at is really pretty. It's just a little diamond brooch. But the last time, the only other time she has worn it, was at her dad's funeral. So it signifies the queen in mourning. Wow. And she wore that when she met Donald Trump. I like it.

I love her. And having watched The Crown, that's how I base all my knowledge on the Queen. She does seem like a little sassy. Yeah, she would. This is something she would do. And on day three, the Sapphire Jubilee snowflake brooch. So this is the last day of his visit.

A little bit less sass, but it was gifted to her by the Canadian people. Which again is brilliant. I've got an issue at the moment, don't I? Yeah. So that was her three-day brooch protest. Brilliant. She's worn a brooch designed by a New Zealand jeweler and given to her by John Key.

Yeah. She wore that at a Commonwealth Nations meeting at Buckingham Palace. So you have given her that brooch. Is it pretty? Is it nice? Did you see a picture? Yeah, there's a picture. Do you want to see what it looks like?

Yeah. It's gold and it's in the shape of like a flower and it's got diamonds and the right in the middle is a pearl. That's really nice. We've done real good. A New Zealand found pearl. New Zealand? Not bad.

I mean, that was one person's work. She would, it's such a feature on her outfit, you know that there's thought that goes into it. She doesn't just pick one and put it on. Does she pick them or her people? Is this a protest by one of her staff that she doesn't know about? Maybe.

And over 60 years ago, a diamond silver fern brooch was gifted to the Queen by New Zealand. It was under a shroud of secrecy. I don't know why. But then she lent it to Catherine to wear when they came to New Zealand in 2014.

Oh, so she's all over her brooches. She totally knows the story behind these brooches. Okay, so the brooch was a Christmas present from the woman of Auckland when the newly crowned Queen was on tour here in 1953. So 60 years later, she's like, you're off to New Zealand, aren't you, love?

I don't know if she talks like that. And she's like, yes. Yes, grandmother, I am. I've got just the bloody thing to wear. They're going to bloody love it. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello, welcome to today's Top Six. Top Six, nerdy yet hot themed stripper ideas.

As Margot Robbie has revealed doing publicity for her next film, that when she had her hands due, she had a Harry Potter themed stripper. And she was all for it. Was it Daniel Radcliffe? No. Maybe, I don't know. I know he doesn't like talking about Harry Potter

but he'd probably do it for the money. He's been naked on stage. Why not? Yeah, beside a horse. Yeah. Equius was that one, wasn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, she had her hands do on the Goldie. Did she? Yeah, because when we were there recently someone said, oh, and Margot Robbie

had a part of her hens do hair. And I was like, what? Really casual? They're like, yeah, she had like a whole weekend and the girls got pretty loose for the whole weekend. You can't take the bogan out of the A-list Hollywood celebrity cat. You really can't. So apart from Harry Potter,

I mean, maybe we've stumbled across something here because people who are part of nerdy fandoms also get married and want strippers. So the top six nerdy yet hot themed stripper ideas. Number six, Lord of the Rings. Fancy four small men, an alpha dwarf, a wizard and two humans. One being Sean Bean though, so he'll probably be out pretty early. Then the Lord of the Rings strippers are for you. Yeah.

I don't know how I feel about Gandalf. You shall not pass! And then he whacks his staff into the ground and grinds on it. Pole dances on his wizard staff. Oh, yuck! That's yuck. Some people are into that, though.

Foolish, foolish hobbit. Come here and take off my G. You're ruining a lot of childhoods, Vaughn.

But then, like, there's a lot of males there, but for the females, for the males, yeah, there was some Alvin things. It was a fairly

homoerotic. Looking back on it, it was pretty homoerotic. Yeah, Legolas. Yeah, yeah. some Alvin things. It was a fairly homoerotic. Looking back on it, it was pretty homoerotic. Yeah, Legolas. Yeah, yeah. Ooh, yeah. Be getting a lot of orders.

Number five on the list of the nerdy yet hot themed stripper ideas, Game of Thrones. Yeah. Again, Sean Bean. He'll probably be out pretty early. Don't get attached to him. In fact, don't get attached to any of your strippers because if you get a favourite,

they'll probably be killed by another stripper. And then you'll have to start liking another stripper. It's true. And then you'll be arguing over who was the worst stripper. Was it the Joffrey stripper

or was it the... Was it the Ramsay Bolton one? Yeah. Oh, crap. All bad people. Number four on the list are World of Warcraft. I don't know a lot about World of Warcraft,

but I know that would really get some geeks going, some orcs, some dragons and swords and such. I mean, there's people listening right now who are like, oh, God, it's too, oh. Don't make that noise. Oh, that sounds good. Don't make that noise. World of Warcraft, wow.

That's the acronym for Warcraft. But also a sound you make when you're impressed. Whoa. Number three on the list of the top six nerdy yet hot themed strip road years. My Little Pony. Now I can't explain it. It's a nerdy fandom. Yeah, well they have the bronies.

The men, the bronies Of growing men The bronies Who I was part of I've fallen I've fallen to the side Not on purpose I didn't you know Move away from them But I'm just not

As into it as I was Did you see that Video during the rounds Where people dress up As horses But also a little bit Like sex Yeah they get like

Led round and And there's like Leather and whips And yeah It's a little bit weird. And they have like... It's like bondage feel. Yeah, right.

Yeah, I imagine the strippers would be like that. But my little pony's is weird and aside to the... Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Yeah, like, leave us alone out of this. Get us out of this. You're like, oh, what a... What pony is this stripper supposed to be? And they take off their pants.

You're like, I see their cutie mark. That's the little mark. Yeah. Cutie mark. That's the little mark before their bum. Yeah. Cutie mark. Number two on the list of the top six nerdy yet hot

themed stripper ideas, Doctor Who. Okay. So there's been lots of male doctors. Yeah. So take your pick of what male doctor

you want. I'd probably go Matt Smith, bow tie. Call me contemporary. You'd like your strippers to be dapper. Yeah, dapper. And he was quite like a Matt Smith bow tie. Call me contemporary. You'd like your strippers to be dapper. Yeah, dapper.

And he was quite like a dapper doctor. Yeah, right. And one of the younger ones. You go too early in the piece, you'll be getting the old guy

with the long scarf in the fro. So that might be some people's cup of tea but not particularly mine. No, yeah. They all had female assistants so there's options there.

And the new female doctor and the first female doctor start soon. But regardless of who you choose, you know if there's like a, if you're at a hen's den and there's a it's the police. And it's a police stripper. Rather than that, all of a sudden you hear

That's the TARDIS arriving. Okay. That was a terrible TARDIS arrival. Okay. Ew. Of course it is. That was a terrible TARDIS noise. Ew. Ew. No. In fact, you could have a stripper dressed up as the TARDIS and they just walk in and they just do pelvic thrusts.

Ew. Ew. Ew. None of these ideas sound great. And the number one for today's top six of nerdy yet hot themed stripper ideas, Star Wars. Oh, yeah. You couldn't go past it. So many options.

Leia, very attractive. Han and Luke, good-looking people. For the robot-inclined, there's C-3P. Oh, no, you'll D-A. And R2-D2 it to me. And for those people who are like a hairier, taller man that could rip your arms right off, Chewbacca for the Wookiee fans.

For the Wookiee fans. For the Wookiee fans. And they could all work together. Yeah, right. Okay. Could be something there. Could be something there. That's today's top six. FVM, the podcast. I don't want to apologize for this. And I shan't because it's not just me.

But I'm part of a problem. I'm like the person that gets a straw and I'm like, it's just one straw And I'm like It's just one straw But you know what Seven billion people Said that too And now there's a sea turtle With a straw up its nose

Which is a horrendous video But I'm not here To talk about straws Is there actually a video Of a turtle Oh You won't use a straw again No

You will not Ever use a straw again I thought everyone Had seen that That's the video That made me go When I order things now, I'm going, oh, don't worry about the straw.

Because of the sea turtle. Yeah, because there was a lot of talk about it. Because I've seen the turtle that grew into the beer can ring holder. Oh, yeah. And its shell's all distorted because of the plastic. Yeah, that's bad too. Oh, no.

I couldn't even get through the whole video. I wonder if you'll be able to. It's pretty long. We can do it after this. They could have definitely done a shortened version. I couldn't even get through the whole video. I wonder if you'll be able to. It's pretty long. They could have definitely done a shortened version. Anyway, not here to apologise for that either because I didn't put that straw up that turtle's nose. But Fortnite, a game that I love and play regularly,

along with producer James last night, we did a streaming, didn't we? How did that go? Oh, well, we didn't win any squad matches, but what did we have, a second and a couple of we had a couple of seconds and a couple of thirds. A couple of seconds and a couple of thirds. Which is pretty good for us. Seconds are good for us.

They streamed this on Sky Sports. No, last night's wasn't, but yeah, we went to the most amazing little setup. You know how the Sky Tower looks like in Evil Villain's Lair? Yeah. The actual tower, not the building next to it. This is in the actual tower. Oh, okay.

In the actual tower. They've got to play video games and they've got the ability to stream to Sky TV. Like there's Tekken 7 finals and stuff getting streamed on. Oh, I like Tekken. Oh, this is fun.

I'm a button basher. Me too, but that was Tekken 3. I don't think you can pull that off on Tekken 7. It's a whole group called Let's Play Live and they basically stream like every week and have it up on Sky Sport as well. It's a pretty group called Let's Play Live and they basically stream like every week

and have it up on Sky Sport as well. It's a pretty cool set up. Because people, you were watching this last night, Caitlin. Yeah, I jumped in. Were you liking it?

I jumped in with the boys. Yeah, okay. It was very stressful. Like just watching, first of all, okay, two points. Vaughn was like, his character was this

hot ass guy. Like from, I only saw him from the back and I was like, Vaughn, come on. Because aren't you supposed to do someone that looks like you? No, but you don't get to customize. There's not.

I tell you what, there's one guy I want to unlock. This season, he's got a big beard. He looks like Willie Arpiata. Remember that famous photo of Willie Arpiata? He looks like that. When I unlock him, I'll only ever play as him. Well, all these shenanigans, you two, James and Vaughn, you're slowing down New Zealand's internet.

Yes. So this is an actual problem at the moment because of Fortnite. So on Thursday, this was last Thursday, was when Season 5 started, and internet usage was 20% higher when that download became available. Slowing it down, obviously, if the volume's 20% higher than usual, you lose

a bit of speed. Not only that, but never before seen levels. Yeah. Like, that's insane. 20% is a huge amount. Yeah. If you think about it, it has one in five, so there's another one of those added on.

Good lord. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. I make no apologies, but every now and then I do use lag. This is the great thing about a gamer in New Zealand, although our internet's getting up there with some of the best in the world, but you can still blame lag. All right, this is the last one, you guys.

That's what I mean. We use a lot of internet, but it can always be better, our internet, I think. There's a lot of room for improvement. Let's not be happy with what we've got. No. Let's try to get faster. You know, every now and then they're like,

oh, the rural sector. They're really concentrating on the rural sector, getting good broadband. It's great news because farmers, you know, they work hard. They want to have some downtime and play some Fortnite, but they're all on dial-up still. Or these rural satellite connections.

So yeah, I'm all for rural broadband. For other reasons as well. Whatever. It's like porn and gaming right that's what farmers want faster internet for and bless them they should they deserve it yeah isn't that what all men in new zealand want the internet for porn and gaming yeah it's a fair call and then what was it kate the news during this good fast recipes because you're in your kitchen you need to google like oven stats and stuff it's like where should I put my cake in the oven?

Where? 400 Fahrenheit. Well, not because he's a physician for the rack here for the cake. Get out! Yeah. Are you supposed to cook things on different racks? Or on different levels? Yeah. Stop it!

Of course. I always just thought that was just if you wanted to pack heaps in, you had options. No. Because if you do biscuits on two levels, halfway through, you're meant to swash them around. Yeah, I know that. But like, say I've just got one thing in there. Yeah, a cake.

Okay, a cake. Well, it depends what you're making. Where should I sit it? I don't know. Put it in the middle. In the middle. Okay, well, that's a sitting on the fence answer. No, you don't want to put it at the top.

Never put it at the top. Because heat rises more and it'll be more hot. And it went too hot at the top. Yeah. Amazing. See what I mean? You need fast internet to Google that stuff. Yeah, what rack should I cook this on?

And obviously, Paul. So much to worry about. In the kitchen too? No. So you put the cake in, you're like, oh, well. No, that's when the cake's ready. Yeah, while I've got the internet connected. So yesterday I put up a gram and I was, it was what I was wearing that has hit me with some insta-heat.

So I was wearing a, to look at it, it looks like a fur coat. Yeah. It's cheetah print. Is it cheetah print? It's more like a leopard. Yeah. Snow leopard. I want to say snow leopard.

Yeah. I want to say snow leopard. I'm just looking at your Instagram now. I'm just going to Google snow leopard. Can you just like that photo? Oh, yeah, I'd say leopard, snow. Did you like that photo? No, I liked it now.

Oh, I just saw you double tap your bit. I did see it last night and I didn't like it. Oh, I must have been busy. I haven't liked it either. Ready for another like? You commented, and I didn't like it. Oh, I must have been busy. I haven't liked it either. Ready for another like? You commented, but you didn't like it. Classic. Smith.

Sometimes you've got to keep them, you've got to trade them in, eh? Keep them came. Keep them came. Oh, yeah, definitely snow leopard. This is a snow leopard. And, like, looking at that, like. Oh, what did it do that for? God.

Momentary, momentary discretionary trajectory this way. What are you talking about? Isn't it annoying now on Google Images when you just want to rip the image off the person, but you've got to go and visit their website to do it. Oh yeah, yeah I know, like stealing images is so hard now That made it a step

harder. I know. See that's a snow leopard I feel like it was a bit of a snow leopard print. Bit of a snow leopard search Yeah. So I didn't think know. See, that's a snow leopard. Oh, yeah, okay. I feel like it was a bit of a snow leopard print. Bit of a snow leopard search. Yeah. So I didn't think anything of that, and that's when I got a comment that said, hey, man, what's with the fur?

And I was like, oh. Because you've obviously killed a snow leopard and been able to afford to buy its fur. That was my two problems. I would never wear a fur coat, and I would never be able to afford a fur coat. Especially not of one of the rarest baguettes on the planet. Yeah, nor would I.

I'm going to Nepal. Are you going to go to base camp? To hunt a snow leopard. Turn it into a jacket. Oh, my God, they think it's real fur. So I said, oh, come on, it's 100% fake. And I thought that would be the end of it. Be like, oh, all good.

No one has a problem with that, eh? Like, some people are saying that sometimes it doesn't biodegrade. Fake fur. Fake fur. Oh, because it's made of millions of strands of plasticky. I guess so, yeah. Because that's why some people are saying you should use like possums and rabbits because they're pests.

But then they're still actual animals. And they're manky looking. I know. Sure. Oh, rabbits. But there's really no problem with a fake fur coat. I didn't think so. And that's when, like I said, it's fake and I thought

that was the end of it. And that's when they said, and I want to know if this is a good point or not. I know, but it perpetuates the fashion which fuels the real fur industry. But you do look lovely. Thank you for the compliment. And I do appreciate where they were coming from.

I was like, okay, kind of. They just didn't want to back down because you'd proved them wrong. Kind of. But then I was like, well, it's up to individuals just to not wear fur. Yeah. Because you know where it comes from. It comes from an animal. Don't wear the fur.

And, yeah, I wore it. But the problem is, when you go out on a limb, and I didn't do this, I didn't like troll the person, I left it at that. I was like, that's a good point. But when you go out on a limb, and it's public, everyone else felt the need to jump in on my defense. Right. And the problem is, in the profile picture of the person that said it, someone, there was two people, someone was wearing a fur hood.

A coat with a fur hood. Like one of those real. Fake fur. Fake. But it perpetuates the fashion, doesn't it? Yes. So I think, yeah. That's one of my favourite.

I'm trying to make a point. It's one of my favourite. I'm trying to make a point. It's one of my favourite things, and I try not to go in the comments too much of, you know, stuff and Herald and Facebook posts. But it is when there's like a really divisive issue and I see people commenting the most horrible things, I love clicking on their profiles. And, you know, they're saying something sexist

and they've got like pictures of them with kids. With their daughters. And I'm like, they're saying something sexist and they've got, like, pictures of them with kids. With their daughters. And I'm like, how can you speak like this? You have kids or... That's what I'll never understand. You know, you just delve into these people's lives and you scroll through their timeline a little bit and you see them saying horrific things.

But you're just having a go at this person. 100%. The loudmouths, you don't have to dig too deep to find hypocrisy. You never have to. It's actually quite a fun game to see how quick it takes you to find some hypocrisy. Yeah. It never takes very long. No.

Very quickly. Yeah. What is everybody's thoughts on historic furs? Say you inherited a fur that great grandma got back in the day and it's a legit fur. Say it's fake. But that animal died 100 years ago. Say it's fake day and it's a legit fur. But that animal died a hundred years ago. Say it's fake. My mum has a fox

that was my great grandma's or something and it's not nice. But you're never going to wear it either so what are you supposed to do with that? But also binning it seems like a waste. Disrespectful to the animal. The animal was killed for nothing all Right. All those years ago.

I mean, even back then, to line a fox up and... Would have been pretty like... Yeah. You can't wear it. You can't put it on display. That's it. I had a friend who inherited furs, and they're like, what do I do? I can't throw them out.

They're like these now endangered species, because that seems crazy, but I also can't wear it, because I don't want the backlash. Well it's not a problem I've got so they can deal with that. I just wear it around the house talking like that woman out of Grey Gardens. It's hard to declare. This house is a place of evil.

It's weird that I feel like I always have to like preface this when we're going to talk about this subject and be like hey but then we shouldn't have to because big girl pants on, this is like real life. You know? And it happens to half the population. I want to put my big girl pants on too.

You can. Do it. So some parents are throwing their daughters a special kind of party. I never had any parties. Your parents were famously anti-party. I had a cake and Nana came over for dinner. Yeah, we never had big parties

because my parents didn't know how to discipline without smacking, so they didn't want us to tell off other people's kids. And they weren't allowed to smack them, but even back then. Just smack them and say, don't doubt your parents. Do you want another smack? That's what I've said. About, you know, coming out, if my

children ever have friends over that aren't immunised, they're going to be like, who wants to go for a fun trip to the doctor? Oh, you can't do that. Oh, we're going to play a game. Fake jab for my kids. Real jab for you. Too late.

Immunised. Indy's dad took me to the doctor and gave me a jab in the arm. What? I said don't tell anybody. The parties that they are throwing their teenage daughters is period parties. So in order to get rid of the stigma and educate their daughters

and just like bring everyone in and like talk about it, they're throwing these parties and there's party favors. There's like cakes that are shaped like body parts and the party favours include like sanitary items, tampons, takeaway bags. With kids parties you just chuck some junk

in there and they take it home. And there's like period games. How do you feel about this? I think it's good because when I was in this situation I thought the world was ending. I was like, I thought it only happened once. And then you were done. I was like, this happens like every month for the rest of my life.

And mum's like, well, until you get like old. Had your parents not given you like a heads up? Nah. Really? I don't remember having any kind of like sex chat with my parents. You've done well to get this far without a baby. No. No, you get that at school

from your mates. Oh, right. You get a bit of that. Yeah. Plus we had like sex ed at school. Yeah. So my parents just like

leave it up to them. But still, heads up that I'm going to start bleeding once a month. I take most of my parenting from the book of Phil Dunphy.

So I think a period part is going to be right out. Yeah, from the dad from Modern Family. He's like the best dad ever. If you threw... That would be totally something I'd do that my children would never forgive me for

because of how embarrassing it sounds. Oh, that's the thing. It would be embarrassing, wouldn't it? No, but so one of these girls put up pictures on Twitter and stuff and was like, I had a period party today and my family is super extra. She got a cake. It was white and it had like red buttercream and was like, I had a period party today and my family is super extra. She got a cake. It was white

and it had like red buttercream and was like, congrats. Congrats on your period. And everyone's like, woo! I've never heard of, has anyone ever heard

of this being a thing before? No. What a great idea though. No, I wish I had a period party. I want one every month. Because you need the cake. No,

because that'd be the danger. You'd eat the whole cake. Let me eat the whole cake. What's wrong with eating the whole cake? Oh my God, no, nothing. Please, have the whole cake. I'll get another one. What flavour do you want? Something that's just red.

Red velvet. Red velvet. We had gatherings at school to talk about periods with our mums. Did you? Yeah. So I waited for ages. I had to wait for ages to get mine.

And when I did get it, I was like, yay. I was so excited. No, I was the opposite. Mine are. Jesus Christ. Is it a tampon and a scoop of ice cream? With some raspberry sauce. So you

had no heads up that it was coming. No. So you were probably amongst the first in your group of friends. Yeah. Hated it.

Hated it. And you were at the other end. The world is ending. So you really wanted it to happen. Yeah. Isn't that crazy, eh? Yeah. As soon as everyone else does it,

you're like, I want to do it. Yeah, I want to do it. But when you're the first, the trailblazer. Because I had these boobs at 10. I mean, now they're not great, but like, I want to do it. Yeah, I want to do it. But when you're the first. No. The trailblazer. Because I had these boobs at 10. I mean, now they're not great, but like when I was 10. They are good boobs.

It was something. Megan, I love your boobs. Thank you. My 10-year-old boobs, great. You know, sadly, I had this penis at 10 too. And you know what? Even then, not that great. Now, even worse.

Yeah. Like on a 10-year-old, it looks small. And on a 36-year-old, pathetic. The balls, though, they've kept growing. Okay. Rageously. Stop, I said. Oh, we're having a laugh, aren't we? It's a segment of the show where we get old mate Raven. Don't get fleshed out in. Don't get fleshed out in here.

It's a segment of the show where we get old mate raving. There's a few things that get him going that ticks the boxes. Airport lines at airport security. Airport lines. We still haven't covered in depth, but I think throughout the history of the show, you've randomly raved almost enough about that. Do you know it's at the point now where people in line at airports will Snapchat and Instagram me?

And I will say, I feel your pain. We all pay a levy in our fee. That's your thing. Every person should be on, every lane should be open 24-7. Does it? But what about the fact that it's a business and in the quiet times, they tune through all those people and then they're paying people to sit there doing nothing.

They know when the planes are taken off for them. But then you can't do that. You've got to have a certain amount of hours in your contract, don't you? You can't be like, oh, Steve, we need you to drive all the way here for half an hour's work because we've got two planes coming at once.

Steve can be a part-timer. We can't start this segment every time with airport line chat. Okay. I think we have. And we will. Gets me so wound up. But one thing I wanted to ask you about, Fletch, is recently you were diagnosed with campylobacter.

Oh, food poisoning. Food poisoning. I know, yeah. I know. You were diagnosed with campylobacter. It's going to be really full on. I know where this is going. I know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you went to the doctor on a Friday. Yes. And paid a fee to see a doctor. Yep. A hefty fee, might I add. And then on Monday when your results were returned, the doctor said, come back in and pick up the little piece of paper that entitles you to a prescription at the pharmacy. Yeah, some antibiotics.

Okay. Now, would you like me to take over the story from here? Go ahead. Obviously not moving. Obviously not nearly yelly or nearly moving quite fast enough for you. The arms are crossed. So firstly, when I went to the doctor on Friday, because I just had the really upset stomach and like cramps and stuff,

I was like, something's not right here. It wasn't Giardia because I've had that before. Wasn't pregnancy. I had a reliever doctor. Have you guys ever had a reliever doctor before? Yeah. It's weird, eh? Because you always go to your usual doctor,

but then it's like having a reliever teacher. You miss a save. Sometimes they're more thorough. You try to make them cry. They're like, open up. You're like, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm. I'm just going to check the temperature in your ear. No.

It's like, you're not my real doctor. Yeah. But he was lovely. I know. And so I did a test. Yeah the temperature in your ear. No. It's like, you're not my real doctor. Yeah. But he was lovely. I know. And so I did a test. Yeah. The poo test again. We've all had to do that.

Yeah, obviously. Did you poo? Did you have a poo ready to go? No, I had to wait a day. The next day. Oh, yeah, because they always give it to me. I have to take it home, and then I panic, and I can't poo. Because you know my bowel.

Yeah, and I panicked. I panicked. It's very sensitive. Yeah, very sensitive. Any sign of danger, and it's like, nope. Not today. So the reliever doctor rang me at the gym, and he said, look, it's come back, and you've got Campylobacter.

I hope you wipe the machine down. Yes. I've been very thorough with my hand washing and my water intake. So he's like, you've got this. And I'm like, oh, okay. And he's like, you're going to have to get some antibiotics. And I just finished these yesterday. So he's like, well, you this. And I'm like, oh, okay. And he's like, you're going to have to get some antibiotics. And I just finished these yesterday.

So he's like, well, you have to come in and get the prescription. I'm like, great. Thank you so much. This is great. You've been wonderful. Go into the doctors. And I said, I'm just here to pick up my prescription for the antibiotics. And she's like, okay, here you go.

And I start walking off and she's like, oh, that's $25. $25 for the actual tablets? No. No. Those were $5. That's fine. I already knew the answer to that. I knew the answer to that. Stop winding me up.

I know you like winding me up. $25 doesn't seem bad for actual tablets. So I pay the doctor fee on the Friday, Thursday it was, Thursday that I went to the doctor. Yeah. $71. That's how much it costs to see my doctor. But that's fine.

Whatever. I don't go that much. It's a lot. It is a lot, but it's life, isn't it? You've got, when you've got stomach cramps and runny poos, it's what you pay to get better. Okay, so you're not angry at that? Not angry. I'm like, $25.

She's like, yeah, it's the fee for the prescription. I'm like, but I paid on Friday. She's like, oh, that's just fee for the prescription. I'm like, but I paid on Friday. She's like, oh, that's just the fee. This is a new thing. To print out the prescription. I was like, you are bloody cheeky. That's what. What did they call it?

An administration fee? No, just a prescription fee. Oh. Just to press print. Exactly. $25 to press print. I mean, I know med school is not cheap but it's cheeky I don't think the woman

who pressed print went to med school so next time I go to the doctor I'm asking I'm going to be like what do you think is wrong with me they'll be like

it could be this this and this I'll be like okay well you give me prescriptions for that that and that and I won't cash them in I won't cash them in

until you confirm until you call me and I'm not paying to call this isn't included in the fee that's right now. Because I'll only have five minutes. Bet like bargain with them. I will. I'm going to get prescriptions

for every illness under the sun. I can't believe you didn't know this was a thing though. Because every time I have to get repeats, you ring up and ask for a repeat. And then when you go in, you pay for the prescription. For like the pill? Yeah, but you have to pay for the piece of paper. Why do you have to pay for the piece of paper?

For the pill? Because you know what it is. Yeah. Can't they give you, I just print off five. Can't you get a prescription? If I was the doctor, I mean I'm not a doctor, this is probably wildly illegal. I'd print off five and just leave them like a blank check and be like put the date on that when you need it. That's illegal. That's not a doctor. This is probably wildly illegal. I'd print off five and just leave them a blank check and be like, put the date on that when you need it.

That's illegal. That's not a thing. Surely for something like the pill, you can just get a year or two year supply. Well, you have to go in to get a check-up sometimes, but even if you don't get a check-up, you still have to pay for that. Well, that's BS. That's rubbish.

But that's like when you ring up for any prescription. I'm beginning to think it's not as easy being a woman as it's made out to be. Is it made out to be easy? Do we just make it look easy? You do. You make it look really easy. You do. You do.

Well, I share your pain, Megan. Okay. Yeah, now obviously. Distance. Vaughan Smith, professionally distanced. I mean prescription pain. Prescription. Just that one.

Yeah. I'd just love to hear you bargain with the doctor and the receptionist next time. I was aghast. Did you pay it? Yes, I paid it. I was like, oh, it's not in the end. Then I was like, have you got a toilet? Where's your toilet?

I'm going to ruin it just for that. Yeah. If you're going to pay me $25, I'm going to take some toilet paper. It's not a bad idea. You need to get it back wherever you can. Take it back wherever you can. I just take the magazines. Right.

You don't really need these, do you? From 2008. Yeah. FM. So Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson are together. They're getting married at some point. After two months. Three months now, maybe, at a stretch.

Three months. And Pete Davidson has given Ariana Grande his dad's New York Fire Department badge. So he passed away on 9-11. So he's kept the badge as something, you know, sentimental to him. Well, you were saying what, yesterday he even gets, he had replicas made and gives them to like girlfriends. But he said Ariana's got the original one. Right, okay. That aside,

she's been wearing it as a necklace. So yeah, they've been together maybe three months. I wouldn't like that. It's a bit creepy. Not creepy, maybe creepy's the wrong word. It's a bit,

it's too much responsibility slash it's too soon. I don't know, it's weird. Yeah, I would be like too much responsibility slash it's too soon. I don't know. It's weird. Yeah, I would be like, no, maybe you should keep that. I don't know. I feel. That's something you should keep and cherish, right?

Yeah. You don't give that away to someone who could lose it or, you know, you could break up with them and then it's gone. Because imagine if your partner lost it. You'd be pretty upset about it. Yeah. But then if you lost it yourself, you could only blame yourself. Yeah. Well, hopefully you've still got one of your replicas. A convincing about it. Yeah. But then if you lost it yourself, you could only blame yourself. Yeah.

Well, hopefully you've still got one of your replicas. A convincing looking replica. Yeah. But yeah, he said it's like so important to him and she's so important to him. So he felt the need to give it to her. Would you have, if Mr. Toyboy had proposed to you with like a great grandmother's ring that had been passed down, would you have been okay with that? Yeah.

Depends on what it looks like. Yeah, I mean, sentimentally, that's lovely, but if it's not my style, I'd be like... It's bright yellow gold. Okay. With a big black... I mean, that's pretty special, that your family would gift it, because he's not the pretty special That your family would gift it

Because he's not the only boy The family would gift it to you So I mean yeah You'd be like wow okay I'll wear this on a necklace Or I'll just leave it Can you give me another one as well Like when Frodo took that ring

To destroy it He wore it on the necklace Don't take that as some sort of metaphor But I will have this melted down In the fiery pits of Mordor And cast into something I would actually wear. Thank you. Well, my brother gave

his ex-wife now, but that's not a moment. My Nana's diamonds. So where are those? They're somewhere. Did he get them back? I'm not sure actually. Nana's diamonds! I know, I was like, I want

Nana's diamonds. But yeah, that was passed down. But then it's different! I know, I was like, I want Nana's diamonds. But yeah, that was, I mean, that was passed down. But then it's different when I guess you're getting married because you plan to stay together forever. Yeah. So that's like a big commitment anyway. Yeah. That makes a bit more sense. But like, they've been going out for three months

and like suddenly you get something that mega sentimental. That's weirder. But there would definitely be people like not even getting engaged in relationships And like suddenly you get something that mega sentimental. That's weirder. But there would definitely be people like not even getting engaged. In relationships, they get given gifts like that. They have some family sentiment like heirloom or really sentimental gifts. Yeah, I've never. I've not inherited anything to ever give it. My family are like the most horribly practical people

as well. Would you like a nice ring? God no. We need a new door on the shed. That's kind of generations of my family summed up. We've never had sort of heirlooms and such to pass down. Well most of the time in my family it's kept

on the same side. So like it would be your grandma's give it to your side of the family, you know? Right, right, right. It never crosses. Yeah, it never crosses across. It always passes down. Then it stays in the family, doesn't it? It's probably why.

Oh, you can see why. I don't know if you heard her mention it. Both her and her brother have been married and are no longer married. So, if they were giving it to their partners, they'd have nothing left. It's true. It's true. The way they are getting through it. Is there anybody listening that has got a gift from their partner,

and maybe you're not together now, but at the time it freaked you out because it was like some family hand down or some sentimental family item? Yeah. Here's Nana's ashes. That's a big one. Thank you. Even I'm sure if you'd started seeing someone and they gave you Nana's ashes. That's a big one. Thank you. Even I'm sure like if you'd started seeing someone and they gave you Nana's ring, even just as a gift, that would freak people out, wouldn't it?

Yeah. Or would some people love that? Because it means way more than a ring. Some people would love it, but there's so much attached to it. Yeah. And it's a really... A lot of pressure maybe. Yeah, a lot of pressure.

Okay, well 0800 dials at M9696. When were you given something sentimental by a partner? Maybe it freaked you out. Maybe it was quite early on. Yeah. You were given granddad's teeth. Fletch. Vaughn.

And Megan. The podcast. Pete Davidson has given Ariana Grande his deceased dad's badge, and that's quite a lot of responsibility. He was a fireman, and he died in 9-11. Yeah. I wouldn't want that at all. I wouldn't want the responsibility.

No, if you lost it. But we're talking about sentimental things, maybe heirlooms or something that your partner has given you in a relationship. And maybe, I don't know, it freaked you out or it was too much. Sophie, what were you given? I was given my partner's great-grandmother's ring. So my engagement ring for hers. Wow, great-grandmother's engagement ring.

So that's getting back there, like turn of the 19th century sort of stuff? Yeah, so they're really old, they're real delicate, and they're really expensive. So it is a lot of responsibility, and I'm quite freaked out being in charge of them. So do you actually wear them every day as your engagement ring? It is a lot of responsibility and I'm quite freaked out being in charge of them. So do you actually wear them every day as your engagement ring? Yeah. And I get lots of comments on them because they're quite, I guess, old school. And people know that they're old school.

Right. Is there any other siblings? Have you had any snide remarks from being like, I should have got that or anything? He does have a sister. Okay. So I think, yeah, she's probably a little bit... I'd be pissed. She didn't get them. Yeah.

And I guess I'm kind of like, I don't know why you didn't get them. But she's not going to propose to someone. Like, if it's an engagement ring, she can't really wear it. Well, I mean, you could wear it on the ring. She can't do it to herself. I engage myself. So, I mean, you could wear it. She can do it to herself. I engage myself. So, I mean, you love it, but at the same time, it's got a lot attached to it.

Yeah, so I'm kind of like, I do love it, but it's like, I have to love it. Yeah, yeah. And that's delicate, and you want to wear your engagement ring so people know you're engaged, but at the same time time you're freaking out, you're going to bang them on something and something's going to break.

Totally get that. If it's just from, like, Michael Hill or Pascos or whatever, you're just like, oh, well, it's lovely. I can't wait for anyone to even know. Yeah, exactly. That's the thing, getting it redone. Exactly. Thanks, you're cool, Sophie.

You're not the only person, though. Some text messages in. I got given when I got proposed to my partner's dying nana's ring. Apparently, she dished it all out when her time was coming. Yeah. And then I lost it. Oh, no. But we had enough photos that I had an exact one made.

Yeah. Oh, it's not the same, though, is it? I know, but there's only a couple of people that know it's not the same. They're lying. It's tricked everybody else. Yeah, it's not the same, though, is it? I know, but there's only a couple of people that know it's not the same. They're lying. It's tricked everybody else. Yeah, it's tricked everybody else. You just would, though, because it'd break their heart for no reason. Just pretend it's a real one.

How's this? Because I've always wondered. Okay. What happens to gold teeth when people die? Well, in this situation, somebody inherited their grandmother's gold teeth. What did they do? just yank them out? What was she like some kind of Had a gorilla? No I've heard it's a big thing

And you pass them down the family And then they get it re-melted and put in teeth Right You can do that, it's like tradition And then you can be like Gold Grandma had some bananas I was just trying to think of something that stays in the taste

that stays in your mouth for ages. But you melt it down and put it in your teeth. You don't get a ring or? So this is what happened. They melted it down and broke with tradition of getting it put in their own teeth and have it made into an engagement ring for a partner. Right.

They gave it to the partner. Yep. The engagement broke off. That never re-entered the family, that ring. Oh, no. And when they hit them up saying that's Nana's teeth. Yeah. In ring form.

Can we have it back? No, that was an engagement ring and you gave it to me. Vaughn and I were talking about this off here. If you have an heirloom that's passed down in a family and you break off, you have to give it back. If it's just a ring that the person purchased and gave to you, then sort it out. But surely most people could morally identify the fact that that's...

But then if they cheated on you and you want to do anything you can to spite them, no, you're not getting grandma's ring back. I think I'd still give it back because it's not about that person. It's about their family. I'd say, meet me down at the duck pond. And then I'd be on the other side of the duck pond and I'd throw it to them. And if it went in the duck pond, they'd go in and get it. But I tried.

I tried to give it back. You know, that sort of thing. You made it very difficult and get it but I tried. I tried to give it back. You know, that sort of thing. You made it very difficult though, Vaughn. I'm still a good person. Some other messages. I got given a locket necklace made from his dead father's jewellery

at our first Christmas together and we've been together for six months. It was a hell of a lot to put on an 18-year-old. I didn't want to refuse it in front of his mum, but at the same time, it was so much to be loaded with.

He started talking about marriage pretty soon after that. I was 18, as previously mentioned. So I noped right out of there, but I did give them the locket back. Oh, nice. This is your dad, so you've got to keep this in your family. What was his mum doing though? Like, come on your 18 year old son's giving away a family

heirloom. Like, calm down. He's probably going to have 10 more girlfriends. Somebody said my engagement ring had a huge centre stone. I get compliments on it all the time. The story behind it though is my mother-in-law gave it to her son as part of the proposal. She got given it when she was proposed to and my father-in-law, it turns out,

had worked for a jewellery maker in California for no pay just worked for him endless hours and in exchange for this beautiful centre stone

it took him forever to work for it there's this whole family story to it and I feel terrible that I have to wear it it's bloody beautiful but really stressful

having it on my hand the whole time because if I lose it I've lost this like amazing part of a family story just keep it on your finger I don time because if I lose it, I've lost this amazing part of a family story. Just keep it on your finger.

I don't think I'd complain. I'd know. You could lose a finger as well. Oh, yeah. Okay. In a mulcher. Yeah, true. Oh, I thought you meant someone wanted the ring.

Cut your finger off. Well, that too, Megan. Okay. I could take that off. So, yeah, lots of people inheriting heirlooms. It sounds intense. Yeah, it's a lot of pressure. Yeah, too much pressure. Yeah. Somebody said, my nana just had her T3 done It sounds intense. Yeah, it's a lot of pressure. Yeah, too much pressure. Yeah.

Somebody said, my nana just had her T3 done recently and she's like, well, I don't need these and gave me all the gold caps. So I'm literally, as hearing you guys talking about this, looking at a whole bunch of gold teeth.

I think that's weird. Like you melt them down and sell them. I'd get them put in my teeth. Also, of course you would. I'm getting ringy Marlene this afternoon. I've seen a couple of goldieines in there when she smiles at me. Don't put it in your mouth. Yeah.

That's awesome. Then she gets to hang around the whole time. I remember being really young and asking my gran when she died if I could have an ice cream maker. I didn't even think about it. She had an ice cream maker? Yeah, she had an ice cream maker. I think it was an ice cream maker. Yeah, it was.

My nana made me go around the house with a pencil and write my name on everything I wanted. And then when she actually died, everyone's like, why is your name on everything? Because I bad-seed it, so hands off. Yeah.

Somebody's Nana went into hospital and when she was in hospital, everyone's like, it's not looking good. It's not looking like Nana's coming home. So everyone ran around with coloured dots and put dots and every

person was a different coloured dot. Nana gets better, comes home and she's like, what are all these dots? Back off! If you could just leave those dots, Nan. Don't touch them, Nan. It's going to be hard just to go through and do this all again

in a few months anyway. 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. I want to say quickly a good luck to all of our teams tonight. Oh, yeah. Fact of the day. Had you forgotten, Megan? Yeah.

That we have to work tonight. Yeah. Well, our next fact of the day. Had you forgotten, Megan, that we have to work tonight? Yeah. Well, our next fact of the day pub quiz is tonight. And hang out to West Auckland. Yeah. Yep. Hang her out there. All three of us.

Is it? Megan. Recent West Auckland. You should be there to meet the people. Shake some hands. Yeah, okay. Kiss some babies. Or don't bring your baby to the pub at that time of night.

No. Like, weekends, sure. Like, during day-light hours, knock yourself out. Babies at pubs, but not at night. Okay, so today's fact of the day, this one's a bit for you, Fletch. It's about planes. Oh, you know I love planes. Yeah, we do love planes.

It's about the Boeing 787. That's the Dreamliner. It's a big one. It's a good one. It's a big one. It's got the windows that don't have the... Well, you push the button and it goes... Yeah.

It's amazing. And the wings, they's got the windows that don't have the... Where you push the button and it goes... Yeah. Amazing. And the wings, they kind of bend up, don't they? Yeah, they bend a little bit of a bendy up wing. Oh, that's freaky. You're like, should they be doing that? And famously, the one Megan stank out that time she took her shoes off. You stank a whole 787. I did not.

Vaughan's exaggerating. It was amazing. No, I've never seen anything like it. Vaughan was like, what's that smell? And I was like, I don't know. No, Vaughan said that to call the technical people. They thought there was like a little electrical fire. And the oxygen masks dropped down.

And I just panicked. So today's fact of the day about the Boeing 787 is every flight it takes, it produces 500 gigabytes of flight data. 500 gigs? Gigs. Okay. So you think about a high-definition, your average 42-minute television show

and high-definition is about a gig? Like a Game of Thrones ep? Maybe a bit longer because those get up to an hour. Yeah, true. Those might be like, you might be looking at like a 1.4. Maybe if you've got a 1080 or something, it might be up in the twos. A high-def movie would be anywhere between two to three gigs.

Yeah, and it produces 500 gigs a flight. Of what? So everything. So I read about it and interestingly enough, someone had commented on there and they had worked in aviation and they'd looked at some of the logs from the plane. Every single thing is constantly saying, systems okay, systems okay, systems okay.

So like all the windows, systems okay, systems okay. Air conditioning, systems okay, systems okay. It's just constantly. And there's a camera at the tail and a camera at the nose that record the entire flight. Yeah. You've got all the flight. Like when I started actually thinking about it, there's a lot happening up there. Yeah. Well, you take it for granted, don't flight. Yeah. You've got all the flight. Like, when I started actually thinking about it,

there's a lot happening up there. Yeah. Well, you take it for granted, don't you? Yeah. When you sit down and you're like, oh, where's that drinks trolley? Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. The whole thing's a miracle.

Yeah. That it's going. Like, the engines are constantly saying they're okay. Yeah, right. The pressure points saying they're okay. And the whole thing's controlled by computers, isn't it? So there would be a lot of data. Yeah, yeah, a lot of data.

Why doesn't it just say when it's not okay? Be like, actually, no, I'm not good. It does, but it only knows that it's not okay because it's not saying it is okay. Do you know what I mean? Right. Does it come, like, if you press the bing bong, does it record that?

I would imagine so. Right. Because you get a report at the end of the plane, who's the most annoying passenger. 37D was fairly demanding today. They pushed the bing bong a lot. Yeah, but it's for, because I guess it's the most modern plane, it also, yeah, it relies and produces way more data than,

I'm just wondering when it lands, like, do you plug a USB in? I don't know. And then you're like, all right, I'll just drag that whole folder because my hard drive's getting a bit full on the plane. Yeah, I know. Did you want me to download a couple of episodes of Game of Thrones? It's a long flight. I mean, once we get out there, we just press autopilot

and that takes care of the rest, doesn't it? They just sit there for most of the nine hours, don't they? Drag, full. I'm just going to put last flights in the bin. Nothing. No reason I shouldn't do that. I just need to free up some space.

It landed okay, I presume we can delete this. Yeah, so we can just get rid of all of that. I'm just imagining some old mate pilot because you know some of the captains

are quite old. You know like your dad, imagine him trying to delete the deleted items, the USB. God. He'd just pull it out without ejecting it properly

yeah and then the plane would just be like it'd be like God he's trying to ring his son yeah yeah Steve it's dad

ah look I've just I don't know what's gone wrong mate oh now I've got a spinny wheel what does that mean what do you reckon just Jerry can just go

fly again. See if it like, turned off and turned on again. All right, I'll give that a go. Anyway, good to talk to you. See you later. So today's fact of the day is for every flight it takes, the Boeing 787 produces 500 gigs of data. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Day Research has been done

The University of Pittsburgh And they have found A link between alcohol And perceived physical attractiveness A.K.A Bear goggles So I just need everyone around me to be drunk at all times i always just thought it was your inhibitions and your standards dropped i didn't necessarily

thought you start seeing people as better looking well yeah but your standards would drop because you're seeing someone as better looking no but i just thought it was primarily a standards dropping situation well they had 1800 people people look at photos of people and then rate their attractiveness. Now, half of the group that were doing this were drunk or drinking, the other half completely sober. And you can see where this is going. The intoxicated group gave higher scores.

Crazy. Is it because you're like feeling... Generous? I was trying to think of a good way of putting it. You're feeling happier in general and you're like, yeah. You got your buzz on. Yeah, maybe. They didn't say they were happy drunk, so they just said they were inebriated.

They just said that they were drinking while doing it. Oh yeah, true. Because you know, everybody here is a pretty happy drunk, but some people get a bit angry drunk. Some people get a bit grumpy drunk, don't they? Yeah. It's not for everybody. Well, you know, I don't know what they were up to over.

Where was that? What was that? University of Pittsburgh. University of Pittsburgh. They may have got together with the professors at Washington State, primarily in the Department of Integrative Physiology and Eurosciences. Right. Who studied if cannabis gives you the munchies.

So they were just having a party and they wanted to, like, justify it. Yeah, you go to uni, you're just like, oh, what should I do for my thesis? I don't know, get drunk, get stoned? Yeah, quite like getting stoned and eating a pack of biscuits. So they started the test on rats. They gave rats... Like little mini-sized bongs. Little spliffs. Oh, okay.

Because they've got claws. So they can hold the spliff. Do they use a bong? I don't know. Just hold. Maybe they just hotbox. If someone was holding the lighter, they could. I reckon a rat could hold the bong.

Maybe they hotbox their cage. Squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak. Squeak. Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. Squeak, squeak, squeak. I don't know if rats squeak. And then what, they just like fingered munchies,

like burger rings and stuff through the... They monitored their eating and how it compared to a normal day being offered the same amount and if they would keep taking it, eat it, and then kind of take more. And they believe it triggers a hormone, what's known as a hunger hormone,

which scientists have spent so long trying to suppress as a sort of a dietary way of losing weight to stop yourself thinking you're hungry if you're not actually hungry. So this in turn does the opposite. It actually causes those hormones to be produced.

Now, a young man I know, let's call him Sean Bliff. Yeah. When he was younger. When he was younger and doesn't look too disliked me. Yeah. Wouldn't have needed the rat science to tell you that. No. Yeah.

I had friends that tried to tell me that if you eat, when you eat and you have the munchies, you don't, it doesn't, you don't put on weight. I don't know about that. That's not true. How many fat stoners do you know? All of them? That's not true

because they were like, you just burn it off. I'm like, well, you're not going for a run. Like how are you burning it off? Yeah, what's burning it off? I don't know. All the laughing? Yeah, that's burn it off. I'm like, well, you're not going for a run. Like, how are you burning it off? Yeah, what's burning it off? I don't know. All the laughing? Yeah, that's not, yeah. Well, science, it's official.

Science has said, yeah. Bunchies and beer goggles are a thing. Yeah. But it said also the cannabis exposure caused more frequent and smaller meals to be preferred, which is how they say to eat, right? Oh, right. No, you're supposed to eat more, but less.

What? But not chippy. Less quantity more often. I wonder if they've found out in states in America, like seriously, if that's affecting people's weight. In states like Colorado where it's all legal now. It's become legal. Because Nevada is also legal and they found that,

is it speeding or drink driving is way down? Drink driving is way down. Drink driving is way down because people are smoking at home. Right. Freaking out. I guess freaking out and not wanting to drive or just not drinking. And so they've had this huge reduction because of that. Right.

Yeah, because you smoke a little and then someone's like, we're going to go to that party. And you're like, well, I don't know, are my ears bleeding? Because I feel like they're bleeding a little bit and when my heart slows down, we can go, sure, that sounds great.

I just find it so fascinating, like whole, there are just these giant big states and countries just experimenting. It's just fascinating to watch. Oh, I've told dad when the, because I don't want to take over the family farm. It's hard work. Yeah. But I've told Dad when the... Because I don't want to take over the family farm. It's hard work.

Yeah. But I've told him if marijuana's ever made legal here, I'll happily take the land to grow marijuana there. Right. Okay. Sell it to, like, hospitals. Oh, yes. Hospitals.

I can't think of a person I know that's been to Queenstown and hasn't thought, I could see myself here. I could live here. I could live here. Now, where am I going to get a million dollars to rent a house for? Yeah. There is a section that is in the news in Queenstown, and this, if you've ever flown in to Queenstown Airport

and you've come in over the lake. Yep. So I don't know what direction that's from. I'm terrible with Queenstown because it's all mountains. Yeah. Or even when you're driving out from the airport along the road. Yeah, you'll see it. If you're coming out from the airport

and you're looking to go back into town, there's been a blank section there. And it's kind of always blown my mind. So did a house burn down there and it hasn't been rebuilt? Is it tied up in some way? Why wouldn't you build a house there? Well, it turns out it used to be a tennis court. Oh, okay.

And it belonged to one of the houses next door. But it hasn't been a tennis court forever in a day. The old mate that owned it, Trevor, he used to own the house next door as well. Right. So when he sold the house next door as well. Right. So when he sold the house next door, I'm imagining, and made a tidy profit off it. Oh, I pretty bought it in the 60s or 50s for like $2. He had subdivided off that tennis court because he's like,

well, I'll build there one day. Yeah. Like that's my foot in the door. I'm going to keep it in there. Probably paying the rates. Rates have probably increased exponentially on a completely blank old tennis court. He said, oh, it's been no good for years. I think he said he played his last game of tennis there

like 30 years ago. It's just been weeds and stuff since. Weeds since. Yeah. Wow. But anyway, he's decided he's getting too old and he's like, I'm probably never going to get around to building on it.

So it's just a waste that's sitting there empty. Yeah. So I'm going to sell it. Rateable value for a blank section in Queenstown. Does it have a nice view? Oh yeah, the lake. Anywhere in Queenstown. You can see the lake. Yeah, you can see the lake and the mountains.

Aren't you foot of the runway though? Yeah, foot of the runway. And apparently if there's some new laws passed on the noise to do with the flight path, it's one of the 34 sections Foot of the road. And apparently if there's some new laws passed on the noise to do with the flight path, it's one of the 34 sections that the airport will offer to buy out. Oh, right. For the people who are in the new noise restricted area. Okay, so that will bring the price down a little bit.

The noise. Well, will it? Because rateable value for a blank old raggedy ass tennis court with cracks in it. You couldn't ride your skateboard on it. That's my mark of a good tennis court. Can you go on your rollerblades on it? $980,000. Oh, wow.

In Queenstown. And that's with nothing on it. That's with absolutely nothing on it. And it's in a flight path. Yep. So it's going to be like... Oh, don't worry, there's the lake. Wow.

I'd love planes. I wouldn't mind that. Apart from the early morning ones. See you sitting out there. Now, when you're an old mate, you'll be one of those old mates that gets up at four o'clock in the morning

and calls talkback for a natter and then gets his day started. By sitting out on his porch and watching the planes land. But yeah, so 900, that's just what the council has put on it for rateable. What am I supposed to live in?

So you think, he's been paying the rates on a blank set on an old cracked tennis court. Oh. For a while. Wired it out to some freedom campers. My feeling is he's going to be okay when he sells it. I think he'll be fine, yeah. He'll be able to recoup his losses.
