ZM. Head music. Lives here. Fletch Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Thanks, Arnie. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Good morning. New Zealand swimmer, Lewis Clareburt. Clareburt. Clareburt. Clareburt. Clareburt. Want to break a record? Yeah. What do we know about Lewis? It always freaks me out when someone breaks a record and I've not heard of them before. I don't know why that is.

Sometimes it's not until they break the record. That's when you hear about them. When you hear, you start learning. Oh, okay. So Lewis was born on 4th of July, 1999. Okay. So that's another sad thing. People who were born when I was in my last year

in high school break records now. Okay, yeah, he's quite the swimmer. Oh, he's won golds. Oh, fantastic. At the Bahamas. Oh. I'll tell you what, they do a lot of swimming champions at the Bahamas.

Probably do it outside. I wouldn't be complaining if I got to go to the Bahamas. Probably do it over something. Probably do it past that island with the pigs on it. Yes, maybe. I'm going to swim to the pig island in the pigs on it. Yes, maybe. I'm going to swim to the pig island and be back. That would be pretty great. Well, congratulations, Lewis.

Yeah, good stuff. Fantastic. I'm not trying to end devastating news. I've hurt my thumb. I was pulling apart a grapefruit, which there's a bucket of grapefruit, if anybody's into that. Yes. Yeah, I don't know how a bucket of grapefruit is going to work

in an office of predominantly females. That's into that. Yes. Yeah, I don't know how a bucket of grapefruit is going to work in an office of predominantly females. That's one thing. How many of the grapefruits are you allowed to eat before it cancels out the pill? I thought we debunked that. I did too. I thought we'd talk about this because it's the vitamin C,

but there's higher, like the kiwi fruit and stuff have more vitamin C. It's the other stuff in them, isn't it? That's... I don't know. I've got no idea. The grapefruit. Yeah.

The grapefruit flavouring. We'll do it. Well, anyway, I was pulling one of those apart, one of the rotten ones we didn't bring in, and a seed shot right up between my nail and my thumb. Oh, that hurts so much. But pushed right up in there. Got right up in there.

So I've sustained a citrus injury. You can break your leg and the next day you don't even feel it. But those things up between your nail and your skin? Ow. Really? You get pressure. Just put a little bit of pressure on the thumb. I've googled. So I've googled the pill in grapefruit.

Grapefruit juice decreases the breakdown of estrogen in the body. So although the increase of estrogen shouldn't make. So although the increase of estrogen shouldn't make the pill less effective, it could potentially increase the risk of side effects like blood clots and breast cancer. So you're not going to get preg.

So it's the side effects. You'll just get cancer instead. Exactly, yeah. Oh, God. Okay. Worth it for a delicious breakfast. Oh, God, I love grapefruit. It's so nice.

James is back. Producer James is back from his little Fijian getaway on a catamaran. G'day, guys. How's it going? It's good. He's looking very tanned. He sounds so relaxed. James, can we get a go, Daddy?

I miss them so much while you were away. We tried to get Caitlin to do one. Come on, was it good? It was just dirty. No, it was awful. That's why you need to do a really good one to make up for hers and get us all going for the week. You said go to you and Fletch has just straightened up in his seat.

Yeah, he's put it right up. He's put it right up. It gets us so excited. Go daddy. Yeah. Pretty good. It's becoming quite a tradition. I like it.

It's a sexual harassment. To start the week at the very least. Yes, what a way to start the week. What an absolute way. We're probably going to do it again, but apologies. Your chance to win cash on the show again this morning. Should we get one more? No, you can't do two in one morning.

We didn't get one last week. No, save it for tomorrow. Vaughn raises a great point. We didn't get one last week. One more. One more. I don't like being overused too much, guys. No, me neither. No, save it for tomorrow. Born race is a great point. We didn't get one last week. One more. I don't like being overused too much, guys. No, me neither.

Go. Go, daddy. That was better. That was good. It was kind of like the end of a breath. You know, everything sounds better when you're 30 and a fifth. Alright, your chance to win cash again on the show this morning. 20 questions is back. I've got like an air bubble in there.

And I started talking funny. 20 questions is back this morning. Your chance to win $2,000 cash. We're thinking of a mystery item, an object. I've forgotten what it is, so that's great. Great for you. You can play the game too. You've got 20 questions, New Zealand, to work out what it is.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Well, I have sourced three news headlines from websites, news organisations around the world. And Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, scouts earn their lightning badge. Headline two, police say red Gatorade won't cut it.

And headline three, a very meth-y Christmas. A very meth-y Christmas. What was two? Police say red Gatorade won't cut it. I just don't like red flavoured drinks. Right. Red coloured drinks. Gatorade won't cut it. I just don't like red flavoured drinks. Right. Red coloured drinks. Gatorade, Powerade, raspberry flavoured.

I like the green Powerade, but that's one of the least favourites for people. People are a red or a blue. I like the green. The green's my favourite hangover. No, but the green's more like, that's hard to come by. Yeah, because it's not as popular. Do they still do the silver one? No,

I think it was a limited All Blacks one. A limited edition drink. Because they're a Gatorade now, they're not Powerade anymore, right? Yeah,

I know. They switched up. Can you get a blue Gatorade? So if you want to support the All Blacks while you're being an absolute piece of hungover SHIT in bed,

remember, good Gatorade, not Powerade. Support your All Blacks. Yeah, I love that it's a sports drink, but the only time we drink it is when we of hungover SHIT in bed, remember, good gainer aid, not power aid. Support your rule books. Yeah, I love that it's a sports drink, but the only time we drink it is when we're hungover. Yeah. And you justify it to yourself.

You're like, I just need the electrolytes. I just, I've weeded out all my electrolytes. That's why I go coconut water for the hangovers. Get a big liter. It's nature's power aid. It's nature's power aid. It's nature's power aid. Okay.

As long as the ingredients say 100% coconut. Is it not from concentrated? Not by reconstituted shit. Am I? I'm worth more than that. I care about my body as I'm in England hungover. I'm worth more than that. Where's my Uber Eats?

I'm worth more than that. Well, do we want the Gatorade one? Yeah, I think so. Okay. We go now to America, Pennsylvania. Where vampires live. No, the Pennsylvania website is reporting a story from Denver in Colorado. Where stoners live.

Yes, where Colorado police say a driver failed or tried to replace a broken taillight with a red sports drink. Now, I'm showing you the photo there of a red Gatorade duct taped to the back of the vehicle so that when the light bulb comes on, because, you know, light bulbs are all the same colour underneath. I don't know if you've ever had a broken taillight. The bulbs are all just normal bulbs. It's the plastic covering.

It's the plastic covering that gives it its, you know, orange and red. That is ingenious. I think so too. I couldn't be angrier at someone that did that. So according to Demden News, they reported that Longmont police stopped a driver Monday who'd placed a red-coloured Gatorade bottle where his car's rear light should have been.

Authorities say the driver was on his way to get the taillight fixed. Of course he was. Although this picture is at night. Figure. I mean, you know, no one's getting a taillight getting fixed at night, are they? No. When they stopped him north of Denver, officials say officers didn't ticket the driver

who was seen repairing his car later that day. And they say, obviously we'd like you to have proper taillights and this is not a good solution. So was the Gatorade bottle... I think it's a wonderful solution. Isn't it the drink inside that's red? Yeah.

So it was a full drink. It was a full drink of Gatorade. And they just literally duct taped it on. But then, Caitlin and I went to one of those, what are those shops called? Repco Super Cheap Autos or something? Yeah. When Caitlin had a smash taillight and you just get a sticker. A sticker?

Yeah, you get red or orange stickers and you can get a sticker. A sticker? Yeah, you get red or orange stickers and you can put them over. So if you get a stone chip or something or a hole in your taillight, you can just tape over. But I don't know if that's good for a warrant. It's just a quick fix maybe. Yeah, until you get it.

It won't be good for a warrant, surely. Yeah, right. Okay, well, I don't know. I don't work at, what's that place? Orange Place VTNZ Yeah There's other places

That do warrants Just the mechanics They've just got me With those ads The Mad Max ads Hey I want you to know You've got choice In the warranted fitness world

Oh yeah I'd go and support Like a little fella Yeah If I had a car But I've got a bike And they don't need warrants Ace

As long as old mate Excuse Ace As long as old mate Excuse me As long as old mate Just my old mate Cough kicking in there Because we're talking About old mates Doesn't want to chat

Too much Oh they're not There for a chat They've got work to do They're bloody busy Sometimes if I've got A quiet spot They want to chat

I'm really okay How awful I mean I get Right into it But it's quite tiring I have to go home For a sit down. Okay.

Flesh for an Amegan, the podcast. ZM. Well, there's a chilling update in the search for Gizmo the Chihuahua. Stolen from its British home by seagulls, much to the dismay of Gizmo's Owner and best friend Rebecca 24 You'll remember he was snatched up She said she just watched a seagull carry away Her chihuahua

She was Absolutely in shock I thought this was going to be A happy ending You just said chilling You just said chilling How long has Gizmo been missing? When did the seagulls...

Gizmo. Gizmo. Gizmo. How long did Gizmo... How long ago did he get picked up and taken by the seagulls? Oh, 10 days. Oh, he's gone. Over 10 days.

He's gone. I thought Gizmo was going to come trotting back into the house. It kind of became the small town where they lived. Totnes. Totnes? T-O-T town where they lived, Totnes. Totnes? T-O-T-N-E. Totnes. It kind of became the big thing in the town.

Like a big murder mystery. Like most of us, we were kind of like, ha, ha, ha, dog getting carried away by a bird. That's crazy. But then we all thought, what if our dogs got carried away by birds? Yeah. And if they don't stop here, will they be carrying off our children? Yes. Yeah. Like, will it be a return to the days of the hast eagle,

the biggest bird of prey ever that could carry away a baby more? And if existed now, would be able to easily pick up a sheep. That helps. We wouldn't have let them carry on existing. I'd happily let that happen. In'd happily let that happen in exchange for, imagine looking up and just seeing a half seagull. It'd be like looking up and seeing a dragon. Beautiful creature.

Give your D-South a favor, have a Google. And they were here in New Zealand. Yeah. It's amazing. Yep. So there was some seagulls nearby. This is when the town kind of became obsessed by this hunt for the dog. And seeing a rooftop, Natalie, who's 29,

she said she'd noticed these seagulls colonized the rooftop. Okay. So she went out onto the rooftop and shooed them all away. It was there that she made the grisly discovery of an animal leg. Oh, my God. And she's given it to a veterinarian for proper examination, but she says it would be roughly the size, length of a chihuahua leg. You can see the fur on the end of the foot there,

very similar to this photo of Gizmo's fur up here. Which end is the end? This is the poor end. Oh, my God. This is the joint end. Yeah, wow. Look at that. A vet's going into it for a detailed examination.

Why would you show me that? But, come on, Megan. It's CSI. It's the leg of a dog. Yeah, but we watch CSI and stuff. I thought we were all desensitised to the sort of gore nowadays. Yeah, I am. Gizmo's leg.

But it looks heaps like it could. Has the owner said, yeah, that looks like Gizmo's leg? Because you'd know your pet's leg, wouldn't you? Well, it's been stripped of everything. There's a bit of fluff on it, though. On the end there, yeah. Well, it's the same colour. Yeah, right.

But this is the worrying thing. If it's not Gizmo, they've eaten other mammals. They said it's definitely the leg of a mammal because of the fur and everything on it. Oh, that's disgusting. Six miles from Gizmo's home. There's a photo of the crime scene everything on it. Oh, that's disgusting. Six miles from Gizmo's home. There's a photo of the crime scene here on the roof

and all the other things. A lot of that chicken bones and stuff because they just get into the bins and eat, grab the KFC and take it back to the roof

and pull it apart. They've got to be stopped. They're evolving. I don't like this. Because I know there's something we can't tarnish all seagulls with this brush because I know there are some rare seagulls. Yeah. Like there's something we can't tarnish all seagulls with this brush because I know there are

some rare seagulls like there's some seagulls, is it the black billed seagull? On the endangered list. Oh yeah. Well I for one certainly won't be giving out my chips to them anymore. No. Not for a while. Not these. Not till this goes over. You don't want to look like an enabler of a seagull at this time.

Yeah. Do you? No. It's like giving synthetic cannabis to the synthetic cannabis users. Not at the moment. What a horrible way to go, Gizmo. Getting pulled apart by seagulls. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So there is something that humans think about, or adults actually think about, eight times a day.

It's not food. I imagine that would be way more. Because I've already thought about food three times. Yeah, so at least three times a day. It's not food. I imagine that would be way more. Because I've already thought about food three times. Yeah, so at least three times a day because you like breakfast, lunch and dinner. And then snacks, so that's five. Volume. Volume.

Oh, on the TV. Like, could I go with this louder? Is this right? Should it be a little bit quieter? Like, is that person talking loud? You're right though. That could be something you do think about a lot. All the time.

Yeah. Temperature. Am I on or not? Oh, I think about temperature all the time. Could I be hotter? I'm always cold. Yeah. And that's because you don't turn on your heat pump

because you're living some sort of pensioner's life. No, even in the studio, because you guys have it cold in here. You're like, my power bill's $40. Yay, more pension this week. Have I warmed up enough to take my puffer jacket off in the studio? We'll buy a Friday Flash and put a bet on the horses. I'm a pensioner.

I can get a whole flagon of sherry this week. I'll keep warm the old-fashioned way, drinking myself stupid on a flagon of cooking sherry. We had friends over on Saturday night and I didn't want them to think that we were tight so we turned the heat buff on because it was cold. Oh, how did that go? It was so nice. It was toasty, wasn't it? I'm surprised you just didn't shut the door to the hallway and be like, everybody

like run around for a bit and heat yourselves up and we'll keep the heat, we'll trap the heat in the house. Next time. Always something for next time. Nah, it's nothing you've said. It's, um, I'm surprised you haven't thought about it. It might be sex. Yeah, it's sex. More than that. Eight times a day we think about that.

Those are rookie numbers. You need to pump them up. Men and women. Yeah, apparently adults. Right, okay. So they think about it eight times. This is on average. So there's people like Vaughan that are bringing up the average.

Yeah, there's people like you who are obviously bringing it down. But you probably think about it once and then immediately get it. Whereas I think about it, no, no, no, no, no. It makes me think about it more. Yeah, there's people like you who are obviously bringing it down. But you probably think about it once and then immediately get it. Whereas I think about it, no, no, no, no, no. It makes me think about it more. Yeah, right. Want what you can't have. So they think about it eight times and then speak about sex in one way or another five times a day. That's quite.

Huh. Well, we're speaking about it now, aren't we? One. Try to keep it down. How long do we have to wait if we talk about it again? Oh, there's no downtime. You can talk about it whenever. Oh, for it to count as another time.

I think you'd have to be another topic. You'd have to have a buffer topic. Yeah. Like, this is our buffer topic. Our buffer topic is buffer topics. It is a buffer. Yeah. We probably talk about it five times on the show inadvertently.

Yeah, I'd say so. Sure, yeah. Yeah. So 65% of adults said they were comfortable with sharing their sex lives with others. 29% said they were very comfortable swapping sexual stories. So this was a study to find how comfortable people were with their sex lives. Okay. But yeah, eight times a day is how awful.

You don't need to share your stories with us at all. Me? No. Are you sure? No. No, because he used to call me like a starfish. Patrick Starfish. So I was like, do you know what?

You're going to hear about it then, so I don't have to hear a starfish anymore. And you don't call me that anymore, do you? Well, no, because you go into one of your rants about things. Now it's done. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. It was a 16 all draw between the All Blacks and South Africa at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday night. Things from the game.

Don't know. Thoughts. Thoughts ahead of the World Cup. You didn't even know it was on. Nah. Well, a lot of people yesterday thought Brodie Retallick could be out of the World Cup, but that was the big thing. His dream remains alive.

He's avoided significant damage. He got a dislocated shoulder. But when there was a possibility he was out, you should have seen some of the headlines. It was like, end of the world. Yeah. That's because he's a good player. All Black Codes smashed.

It's like there's actual people out there who can't eat and stuff. Yeah, true. Like don't have anything. But remember that World Cup where we lost everyone and then Beaver came in? Oh, yeah, Beaver. Just give him another call. You'd be no good in the All Blacks with your carpal tunnel. You wouldn't make the World Cup.

So only in 40-something days. Emma hit and got a funny knee. You'd be that one, that player, you had all the promise, but you just can't overcome injury. Yeah.

They'd be like, I hope Papadopoulos is good this week. They'd be like, nah, Papadopoulos has made the news. She's blown out of bloody AC at training.

Because I play bloody hard. Yeah. You know? Emma had told her to take it easy at training, but she's ripped her head off. Her head fell off. Shame.

She's out for the season. She'll be out for the season. No, no, no. She's hoping to be back in three weeks. She just needs a bit of physio on her head where they put like the bolts in. Yeah, she'll be right, mate. Nah, she'll be back, mate. She'll be back.

Well, it ended in 16. All this all black, so they're freaking going, what are we doing that for? Haven't we been through enough in the last few weeks? Yeah, with draws and close calls. Or if it's not like an essential golden pointer. If it's a World Cup, you would. Well, you need to, don't you? You need to have a winner to advance.

Well, I think there should never be a draw, so I've devised the top six ways to decide a draw between New Zealand and South Africa. Okay. This is mostly for rugby, but it should work in other stuff as well. Okay. Number six. Flash's looking dummy pass teamed up with a sidestep and a ksss noise.

So it's literally like you're not running it. There's a pole. You run it. Maybe the goalposts because they're out. And then when you're coming to it, you dummy and make it look like a cool head jiggle move. Yeah. Oh, way. Ksss a cool head jiggle move. Yeah. Oh, way. And then you go the other way.

And then we all judge at home by pushing the button on the Sky Remote as to who wins. Who did the best. Oh, way. I like that. Oh, way. You can do whatever noise you want. Yeah, right.

Home advantage, though. No one in New Zealand is going to be pressing the Sky remote for South Africa. No, but South Africans would be allowed to vote. Oh, in South Africa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, everybody. It's open to everybody. I'm not trying to rig the voting.

All I want to see is a bunch of... You just make a two-syllable noise. It doesn't actually mean anything. This is why your rugby or league career didn't go anywhere, isn't it? You could say that when you go, You could do that noise or Or you could go like, Like do it backwards. Are these noises meant to put off the other players?

Well, no, it's all just like part of it, isn't it? Right, okay. You'll be judged on noise. Number five on the list of the top six ways to decide a draw between New Zealand and South Africa, a barbecue versus braai. And so like,

everybody comes together, you pick a, maybe a three-person team to man the barbecue and the braai, and you get to cooking. You can't beat a braai, but it takes forever.

You know? Yeah, yeah, no, you're not wrong. Braai is delicious. Is it a slow-cooked barbecue? It's just like charcoal. It's just fire. It's their local charcoal barbecues.

But they, yeah, have a little, like, actual barbecue pit. Yeah, I'm not saying New Zealand has to have a gas barbie. They could go charcoal as well. Oh, right, okay. Yeah, maybe while everyone's having a bit of a run down on how the game went, that's where you get your charcoal started. How good is barbecue chicken? It's amazing.

Thank you. I'm a huge fan. No convincing needed. Number four on the list of the top six ways to decide a draw between South Africa and New Zealand in any future sports. Ahead, a bull rush.

Game of bull rush. Works a treat. Bull rush there. Just let that go. What rugby is. Yeah, but... With a ball. Yeah, right. What rugby is. Yeah, but... With a ball. Yeah, right.

There's no ball. Okay, right. There's no ball. God, imagine Brodie Rattata. He'd really dislocate his shoulder playing ball rush. Yeah. The injuries in ball rush. Someone would probably like try to tackle him

into one of those weird sort of waist-high fences that schools had in the 80s with a chain link in it. And you'd go over it and he'd probably crack his head open. But it'd be right, he'd just go to the sickbay and get a plaster. Number three on the list of the top six ways to decide a draw between New Zealand and South Africa are Haka Rof. Oh, okay. Yeah, so

we do the Haka. They do however they embrace their indigenous people, which... ... ... Yeah. I'll wait. From Indigenous people, which? Yeah. I'll wait. A pass on.

I'll wait. Yeah. Got that one in the bag too then. Number two on the list of the top six ways to decide a draw between New Zealand and South Africa. This is a game I just made up. It's called Greased Up Pig. Okay. So you get one player. You get your fastest. Yeah. And you're like sl up pig. Okay. So you get one player. You get your fastest.

Yeah. And your like slipperiest player. And you grease them up with the team's grease sponsor. So I don't know if that's like Vaseline. Like a Vas or a lube or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe you get a KY on board just for the occasion that there was a drawing. This is like your erotic fantasy.

Yeah. So you grease one of them up. Okay. You get five minutes to grease them up. So for example So you grease one of them up. Okay. You get five minutes to grease them up. So, for example, you grease up Bowdoin Barrett. Is he our fastest? I don't know, but I'm just using him as an example. Who else is out there?

All of them. Who else? See, to me, I immediately thought of TJ Perenara. Oh, okay. You'd like to see him greased up. Okay, ready to go. I just think he's great. You rub Vaseline on him. You're greasy. You're losing them right up. Okay, ready to go. I just think he's great. So what, you rub Vaseline on him?

You're greasy. You're looting them right up. Has he got his shirt on? No, off. I don't even know if he's got pants on. He's just in boxes. He might have undies on. I mean, it's televised.

He should have undies on. Okay, okay. But he's not allowed socks on. Or shoes. Right, okay. So the idea is our greased up pig starts at one end. Yep. And the South African team's at the other.

Now, they're allowed five people. Now, at our end, there's five All Blacks and they're greased up pigs at their end. Right. Now, you've got to stay, not like get to the other end, but you've got to stay alive, which is what I call it when you're the greased up pig, for as long as possible.

Now, it's the first team to pin down the other greased up pig wins. Yep. For as long as possible. Now, it's the first team to pin down the other greased up pig wins. Right. And the other greased up pig, he wins if he's not pinned down. Hot. It's called greased up pig. Yeah, it just sounds like quite erotic, really, doesn't it? Mate, what do you want of it?

It's called greased up pig and it's my gift to the world. Right, okay. But then do they have to get over the trial line? No, no, no, no, no. They just have to, like, they go, go Up Pig and it's my gift to the world. Right, okay. But then do they have to get over the trial line? No, no, no, no, no. They just have to, like, they go, go. And then it's just frantic. You can try to tackle the Greased Up Pig or you can use your players to defend your Greased Up Pig.

Right, okay. It'll be a lot of, like, psychology involved. Yeah. But at the same time, you've got to get their Greased Up Pig. You've got to get their Greased Up Pig. Right, okay, yeah. So if you just played a game of defence, it would go for ages if you both just

stayed at your end. But of course, the sportsman. So they would get to the point where they have to greased up pig. I mean, you can put it to the RFU.

I don't know how that's going to go. I don't know if the Eden Park would like lube on the field. This just isn't for rugby. Oh, yeah. In this situation, I was about like netball.

Yeah. Okay. Right. Hockey. Yeah. There's no reason we can't play greased up pig in all sports. Beach volleyball about like netball. Okay. Hockey. There's no reason we can't play grease up pig in all sports. Beach volleyball.

Okay, if we must. Cycling. Now it's a draw at the Tour de France. You're all going to have to loop up. We're going to have to play grease up pig. So I know this sounds weird. This guy just had this idea once and it's going to take it off. It's caught on.

It's how we decide all sports now. Even the sport of Grease Up Pig is now decided with a little game of Grease Up Pig. I like it. And number one on today's top six. That's not number one. That was a number one. That was a number one. It should be.

Number one on the top six ways to decide a draw between New Zealand and South Africa, paper, scissors, apartheid. Apartheid kind of beats everything. Yeah, right. So just go for apartheid. They can't really argue the way out of that one. That is today's top six. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

The Fortnite World Cup is underway. We've got winners already. I don't think solo plays have been done, but the world duos have been decided. We've got the first ever world champion duos. That's where you and a teammate team up to take on other teams of two. It sounds like

a laugh, doesn't it? It sounds like a joke. The World Cup of Fortnite players. It's no joke, baby. What, took the world by storm a year ago? A year and a half ago? Yeah, year and a half ago really kicked off. Some of the people that are winning prize money have won more than the US Open.

Yeah. What? Yeah, the prize money's nuts. It's a $30 million prize pool for squads, duos and solos. That's nuts. Like, one of the players in the duo that won

was a 15 year old British kid and his mum threw out his Xbox. Because he spent so much time playing Fortnite his mum threw out

his Xbox. And now he's like hey mum I've got more money than you. Do you want the mortgage paid off or not? Oh my god.

Fetch it. Fetch it out of the bin and bring thy us sandwich. So he gets what? Like they won 1.8 million as a duo. So he gets half of that. American, yeah.

But it's kids that have all the time to get good at this. Oh, yeah. Otherwise we'd all be world champions for Fortnite. You sound like the person that said, I could have played for the All Blacks, but I... That's an excuse. I was rubbish.

Yeah, but they've got lots of time to practice, and practice makes perfect, is what I'm saying. The winners of Solo will take home $3 million. Then, like, when they win, they will get a $3 million. There's massive prize pools for Solos. Even if you come 100th, you get $50,000 for even qualifying to be there, which is great news for me because that's kind of where I used to come last. It's very competitive.

We've got a New Zealander in the mix as well. Right. A guy called Twiz. He's already out. Did he get in the top 100? Enough to get there, yeah. Okay. So he'll get a bit of cash.

Him and his partner were playing duos and they came dead last. Right. But he tweeted saying, yeah, we came last. We sucked. We weren't prepared. What I thought makes a good player was completely wrong. Nobody or nothing to blame but myself.

Don't be so hard on yourself. No, no, it's good. This is good. He knows what he's made a mistake. Yeah, right. He said that he thought they'd be very conservative in the Fortnite World Cup. But like you, hide in a bush. Hide in a bush.

Wait for it to all blow over and then swooping to try to get a couple of cheap kills. I don't think that's how you win a million dollars. He's only got one shot left. He said he actually saw that the best players in their game constantly engaged in one fights, confident and super aggressive. Yeah, because

when you play that game and you lose your pack like I lose James and Bourne. You run in the wrong direction with your head facing down. And then you get stuck with like this person who builds like super fast and like comes at you.

It's like really scary. Oh yeah, terrifying. I just get scared and don't do anything and wait for them to kill me. You want to see like this is a photo this is the

this was one of the American teams. Look at these little fellas. They haven't gone through puberty yet. And they've got a million dollars. I don't honestly know if they could have driven themselves there. Probably not. Because they're so young.

But no, absolutely youth to be taken away from them. That's highly skilled. Crazy that the prize money is. They've won more than our netballers. Yeah. Yeah, way more. The netballers won nothing, mate. They just won a cup.

These guys get both. Money and a cup. None. Fletchford and Meaghan's 20 Questions. I have questions for you. All right, playing for $2,000, 20 questions. Super easy. We're thinking of something.

A random item, an object. Last week, it was a toothbrush. It only took... Two days. Two days. Five or four questions and you got it. Yeah. Have you remembered the current item?

Yeah, I have remembered. Megan had forgotten. It's a good one. We have 16 guesses left, questions. These are the questions that have been asked so far. Is it a living thing? No. Is it a shoelace?

No. Is it found in a house? No. Is it a car? No. Is it a power tool? No. Is it a ladder?

No. Does it have a motor? No. Is it a road cone? No. So you get a motor? No. Is it a road cone? No. So you get a yes, no question. And then after you've asked your yes, no question, you get to have a direct guess at what the item could possibly be.

Megan, good morning. Good morning. How are you? Good, good. All right. So we need from you a yes, no question. Okay. Is it something you would wear?

No. All right, so it's not something you'd wear. You get a guess now for $2,000 cash. Is it a traffic light? Are you boarding at a gate or are you at the airport? No, I'm on the bus. The bus? Why does it make a bing bong?

Why does it make a bing bong? When it's stopping. Megan wouldn't know. No, I've got no idea. What bus is it? Are you in Auckland? Yeah, in Auckland. They don't know either. Producer Caitlin's saying they make a bing bong. I catch the bus all the time. I've never heard a bing bong. They don't know either. I didn't know. Producer Caitlin's saying they make a bing bong. I catch the bus all the time.

I've never heard a bing bong. I catch the bus. Is this a double-decker bus? No, it's not a double-decker. It's fairly new, though. It might be a new one. It's a big car. I didn't know.

No, you take the inner-city link. All right. It's an announcement. Is there a rude? Is there a rude? We're on the radio. No, no, no. She'll feel fine. This isn't Megan's spot. Megan. Is very rude. Is very rude. We're on the radio. No, no, no.

She'll feel fine. This isn't Megan's spot. Megan. It is not a traffic light. No. It's not. Thank you, though. But you have, I guess, you've eliminated a whole lot of possibilities. Yes.

ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Friday after the show, lunchtime, I had lunch with a friend at a cafe. Excuse me? And I ordered. Oh, not your cafe. No, but your cafe's too far away sometimes. So I don't have a car. If your cafe was right by my house, I'd be there every day.

Was it good? Was it worth cheating on me? Their creamy mushrooms weren't as good as your creamy mushrooms. I said to myself at the time, I wish I was at Megan's Cafe for the creamy mushrooms. For the creamy mushrooms. But it's, you know, 16 k's away or however far away

your cafe is. Right, okay. Anyway, so I order before my friend and then I go to the table with the number and I put it on the table and there's a pear

and a fruit, piece of fruit, a pear. A singular pear. A singular pear next to the cutlery. Unusual table. A singular pear next to the cutlery. Unusual table decoration. Yeah, next to the cutlery and the serviette holder.

And so I'm just like, oh, that's weird. Someone's left a pear. Sat down. The cafe's very busy. This is the only table. Yeah. It's just a table for two. I'm like, this is perfect.

This is all we need. They had one of those big tables, you know, that you share. Yeah. A shared like, this is perfect. This is all we need. They had one of those big tables you know, that you share. A shared table. I always think the other people are listening if you're doing the shared table. Yeah. Well, these tables are very close. I can hear what the people next to us were saying as well. So it's very tight. And then, so my friend

comes back after they'd ordered and we're sitting there just talking and this guy comes up and said, oh, that's my table. I left my pear there. I was like, that's not a thing. He bagsied with a pear. You can't bagsy a table.

You bagsy with a jacket. You leave a jacket over or a purse. You leave a bag or a jacket or a purse over the table or on the table or over a chair so that people know that's taken. Not a pair. Like, is that weird? That was the only thing he had. He didn't want to leave a phone or anything.

Like, in case I got mad. See, I'll leave a phone. Maybe if I'm not overseas, I won't leave a phone. Who takes a pair to a cafe? I don't know. And then so it's like, oh, this is my table. But luckily, some people had just left. And so he's like, oh, this is my table. But luckily some people had just left. And so he's like, oh, look, I'll just get this table.

Did you say it appears there's another table for you to take your pair to? Get out of here, kid. I wish I'd thought of that. If I could have gone back, I would have said it appears. Or you'd be like, if I have to leave this table, I will be in despair. Despair, yes. Despair, despair. I will be in despair. Despair. Yes. Dis- despair. Dis- despair. I will be in

dis- pair. Right. Yeah. But it's weird that you shouldn't be able to bagsy something

like that. With a pair? With a pair. That's not an item of bagsying. No, you can't bagsy with a pair. That would be

like putting a tea light candle on a table and be like I bagsy with a tea light candle. Yeah. But I just

thought this morning I wonder if we could take some calls. Has anyone had an argument with anybody? Because this was resolved very quickly. But I certainly wouldn't have moved. You were going to throw down. If there were no other tables.

Yeah. Has anybody ever had an argument when they were bagsying? Like car parks is another one. Some people stand in a car park while their friend is driving around the mall and then you come up to it, the car park, and someone's standing in it. You can't bagsy that. They're not in a car. No.

That's almost as annoying when you think it's an open car park and it's just a little car. Yeah. Or a scooter. That's very frustrating. A scooter should have been a car park. They've got special places to park. They could park inside the mall if they wanted.

No one would really care. We've literally driven into, I wasn't driving by the way, but into one of those car parks when someone was standing there because I think like car versus person, the person always backs down. You just drive in slowly and they walk away. You're like, well, you're not a car. Yeah, you can't back to that. Bring the car around. Whatever car gets there first. They get in, but then someone's like, oh, no, you're not a car. Yeah, you can't bagsy that. Bring the car around. Whatever car gets there first.

They get in, but then someone's like, oh, no, I'm saving this car park. And then your husband's like, I'm South African. And they're like, okay, get out of the way because they will run us over. That's how they play in Joburg. But so what did they – They pay for keeps. Did they just back away? They backed away slowly and they're like, oh, no, I'm saving this for someone.

And I was like, well – Me, thank you. Sorry, you're like, oh, no, I'm saving this for someone. And I was like, well. Me, thank you. Sorry, you're not a car. I'm here. You can't bags yet. You should have got your car here. Yeah, that's the pair equivalent. Yeah.

Really. He should have put his phone down and his pair. And a jacket. Yeah. Take a jacket off. Or, oh, you can't take your shirt off. You've got nothing on underneath. But you can always leave an item of clothing on. Comes back from the toilet topless. I mean, if you're that committed to saving a table and you want to take your shirt off. Or, oh, you can't take your shirt off if you've got nothing on underneath. But you can always leave an item of clothing

I mean, if you're that committed to saving a table and you want to take your shirt off, I'll give you the table. crazy guy who's topless in a cafe

and be like, I saved this one. So, 0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696, have you ever had an argument over bagsying?

Whether it's a table, a car park. How do we feel about shotgun? Like, someone calling shotgun. Well, it's just the rules, international rules. Yeah, it's a table, a car park. How do we feel about shotgun? Like someone calling shotgun. Well, it's just the rules.

International rules. Yeah, it's international rules. But I mean, maybe there could have been some big fights come from that. Bagsy the front seat. Bagsying people when you're out on a night on the town. Well, you can't bagsy living things. You can't bagsy people. People do.

People definitely do. People break up or they have a one day... Yeah, but what about the other person? You're bagsying someone who has the choice. You're telling or they have a one date. Yeah, but what about the other person? You're bagging someone who has the choice. You're telling me, I don't disagree. But I bags that living being. Do you want to let them have a choice? No.

I bags them. But this is what people do. They go on one date with someone and they're like, oh, you're not allowed to go with them now. No one's allowed them that I know. Yeah. I don't agree with that. That's like putting a pear on someone's head.

You just shouldn't do it. A little floating pear. 0800-DARLS-ATM-9696. Give us a text or a call. Talking about those times you've had an argument with someone bagsy-ing something. I sat at a table on Friday afternoon, lunchtime. It was bagsy with a pear. I just thought that someone had just left a pear on the table.

Weird. Bizarre. But someone came back, wanted their pear and their table. And their table. You can't bagsie with a pear. Did they take the pear? Yeah, they took the pear. This isn't a book.

You can't just find what's around you and put it in a book and be like, that's where I was up to. Yeah. You can't just grab something and put it on a table and be like, that will sufficiently bags this table for me. No. You've got to leave an item of clothing, I think we've established. Yeah. You can't just grab something and put it on a table and be like that will sufficiently bags this table for me. No. You've got to leave an item of clothing I think we've established. Yeah. As an international rule of bagging a table. Well it's yours isn't it?

Yeah. That pair could be anybody's. Yeah. Anybody's pair. That's your jacket. Yeah. Hmm. Okay. I'm disappointed in humanity today. Jalen, you had a bagging incident? Um, so I was at a cafe also, and I went to go,

I like ordered my food, and I sat at a table, and I saw a straw on there. And then I thought, oh, I just put that off. Yeah, they haven't cleaned up properly. Yeah. And anyway, I got my food,

and then this couple comes over to me. I was eating my food, and then they go to me, excuse me, you've taken our seat. And I got my food, and then this couple comes over to me. I was eating my food, and then they go to me, excuse me, you've taken our seats. And I said, sorry, what's wrong, what? And then they said, we put our straws there because it's reserved for us. No, you can't reserve a table with straws. Well, that's what I said.

And anyway, we ended up arguing, and then I was still eating my food while we were arguing. And I ended up winning my seat. But where had they gone? So they put straws down and gone somewhere. They went to another shop. Oh, no, you can't leave the premises. You can't go to another shop.

You can't leave the premises. No, absolutely not. No, I side with you on this one, Jalen. Me too. Get out. Was it quite busy? There was nowhere else for them to sit? Oh, it was like, there was a few people in there, in the cafe,

but they wanted that seat because it was right next to the window, and we had a nice view. Okay, that sounds real punishing. Jalen, thanks for your call. Cam, did you have a bag-seeing issue? Cam? Oh, hello.

Yes, today. Not really an issue, but, like, I do dive agility, and you tune up nice and early on in the morning. I'll have to park nice and close to the ring, and people have turned up the day before, probably very early, and put tarpaulins everywhere, all around the ring, so you can't even get close. Well, you said you do. People are bag-seeing car parkings with tarpaulins everywhere, all around the rinks. You can't even get close. Well, you said you do.

People are bagging in car parkings with tarpaulins. Oh, you can't. I just park on the tarpaulin. We just pull it down. You say you do. Is it dog agility? Yeah. Well, you'll never beat them.

They're very fast. That's right. That's right. Well, they're dogs are anyway. So, okay, so that's a lot of effort to go to to secure a car parking spot. Yeah. Or a tent spot. You can't even get your tent close because, you know,

sometimes you get your tent right close to the air tap hole and say, well, you know, try and fit in there. That's crazy. People are crazy. Just turn up on the day. Who would have thought people who run dogs over seesaws would have been crazy? Yeah, but, you know, as soon as the gates open, people are, like, queuing outside just to get a car park.

And, yeah, it's crazy, mate. So watch the dogs go over the little seesaws. Zigzag through the sticks. It's pretty cute. It's cute to watch. No, it is, yeah. It's cute to watch. Yeah, but I don't understand why you'd need to bag it.

I suppose you want to be close because you don't want to have to walk them too far because they might get puffed before they go up the seesaw. Cam, thanks for your call. Some text messages in. We were at a summer concert and a lady came along to our spot where we had three people,

including my 60-year-old father, saving space for friends. So we each had a blanket. We were each on a blanket. Oh, yeah, this is a controversial move. She got very angry at me because she said, can you move over?

And I said, oh, no, we've got these saved. I've just gone to get drinks and food. because she said, can you move over? And I said, oh, no, we've got these saved. They've just gone to get drinks and food. And she said, this is absolutely bloody ridiculous. You shouldn't put your bloody blankets down before you're all here ready to sit on them. I said, well, we were, but they've just thrown it off. She wouldn't accept blanket as bagsing. No, that is. That's bagsing to me.

Yeah, if you get a Coca-Cola Christmas in the park early and you set up the family picnic blanket and then need to go and get, as long as somebody's on that blanket. Yeah. And you can have one person spread across two blankets in my mind. If they were starfished. I mean, don't go crazy.

Don't take the piss when you're spreading out your blankets. Like if you've got four people and you've got space for like 12, that's not okay. Yeah. Yeah. I was once standing in a car park because I had a broken leg and I was in crutches. Yeah. So the park was right outside the cafe we were going to.

So I thought, we'll park there. Yeah. But I hopped out, got the thing. They were about to back into it. And a lady started screaming at me, said, I'll break your other bloody leg if you don't move. And I said, I would never usually reserve a car park, but given the fact that I'm wildly incapacitated and don't have a disability parking sticker, I can't park there. But yeah, she was very, very angry

at me. Somebody else said that their partner will go and play at pubs. They play guitar in front of the crowd and I would go by myself because my partner's already out there playing to watch him and I would just sit at the smallest table possible. But if I went and left my jacket and other things on the

I'd just come back and I'd be in a pile in the corner and some people would have taken my No, you're going against the bagging rule that's allowed. Yeah, jacket, jacket, that's fine. Real, real bags-ing there. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. At the weekend, you would have probably seen the news headlines that a steamroller, although my problem,

and I've discussed this with a few friends, they're not powered by steam anymore. We shouldn't be calling them steamrollers. What, do we just call them rollers? Heavy rollers. Heavy rollers. Yeah, road rollers. Because they're called steam rollers because they used to be powered like a steam engine.

Yeah. Used to be powered by steam. I thought it was like they huffed out steam when they rolled. Is that not the case? They did. They did. They did when they were iron. To get the creases out of the road. To get the creases out of the road.

To get the creases out of the road. I've overdone it now. I've got wet stains all over the road. I know because my iron dribbles water everywhere. Yeah, mine does too. This is not a perfected technology. Yeah. Do you wait for it to heat up properly?

Because if it's not heated up, if the light's gone off. Twice a year, Megan. I was going to say, I don't iron very often. Yeah. I iron when Sade says, jeez, that shirt's crinkly. I said, I don't even want to wear a shirt anyway. She's like, go and get the iron. I don't want to get an iron.

Get the iron. Go and get an iron. I've no idea. She got really angry. Back when I used to snowboard, I used to use the iron to melt the wax. It's not a good idea. You have to go and buy a new iron. You get out of that Briscoe sale, boy, you're buying new iron.

You're in big trouble. Okay. So it didn't puff out anything, but it did run over some cars and people have been quite seriously injured. And then there's a broken leg. The video of it caught on Snapchat shows a steamroller moving and the guy videoing it's quite like stoked to see the steamroller because it was a convention of car enthusiasts.

Boy races, meeting at a cul-de-sac. Yeah. A new development. So they were of the impression that one of the lads, lads, lads, lads, lads, satney for the boys had got into the steamroller. Yeah. It became pretty obvious pretty quick that it wasn't one of them

because it started running over cars. Get your car out of here. Oh, no. Bro, f***ing do it. F*** this. Is it bad that I found this guy funny? Oh, no. The guy was, like, really going for it in the steamroller.

Like, hooning. He was. It's a 47-year-old man who has been charged with drink driving. What? Was he drunk as well? He might have had. Jeez. Uh-oh. Might have had a couple of drinks to work up the courage to get the car enthusiasts to leave the cul-de-sac.

Yeah. So he just had enough? Was this just some guy that. We don't have all the details, but it ticks the criteria of an old mate who'd had enough. Yeah, right. Somebody said that if they'd just been asked to leave, they would have without this damage happening to cars.

I saw some of them on the news were like, you know, yeah, we would have just left. If he'd politely come down and asked us to leave. You know, we were just here and then like cut to the news footage the next day of literally the road covered in burnouts and tyre remains. And weren't other witnesses saying, yeah, they had definitely been asked to leave?

Yeah, I think a few people had said that, yeah. So this guy commandeers a steam... And we're not... I'm going to stop calling it a steamroller. A heavy roller. Yep. And we're not talking some, like, low-end one when they're doing your driveway.

It's a huge one. It's a monster. Yeah, right. And sets about running over some cars. I don't know how it all... like, because I've seen the footage, but I don't know what happened after that because that kind of ends mid the chaos. Yeah, and I don't know, like, what was his end game here?

You can't really get away with a steamroller, can you? No. I was really upset you didn't get to see the car after it had been let roll. I wanted to see how squished it really got. Judith Collins would have woken up on Sunday and been like, finally, Krushy Collins. Nobody did it. We're sure it wasn't her in there.

They pulled the mask off the guy in court and it's like, it was Judith Collins all along. She's like, I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you pesky kids and your souped up bloody skylines. Get it started, come on Get it started, get it started Don't get fleshed outed Don't get fleshed outed in here Don't get fleshed outed Don't get fleshed outed in here Just playing along there on my metal drink bottle.

Oh, um, I don't, you've asked, I don't want to go on about it, but yeah, it's metal, because I'm... You're saving the planet. Sustainability. We got matching ones. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Yours is ageing better than mine. I know, because I take care You're saving the planet. Sustainability. We got matching ones. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Yours is ageing better than mine.

I know because I take care of my stuff. She doesn't bang it with a spoon like you would a store. At every opportunity. Sometimes it's our way now. Dinner's ready at home. Dinner! Supper's ready! So, speaking of supper, after supper,

sometimes on a special occasion we might sit down to a family dessert. And like many New Zealanders, we're not afraid of vanilla ice cream, as it is New Zealand's favourite flavour of ice cream. A million litres of vanilla ice cream eaten a year. This is this news story that got me started this morning. So, what are your thoughts on New Zealanders' favourite ice cream being vanilla ice cream? So they're eating

a million litres of it a year. It's the... I like how he's always already put them in a camp. Put them in a camp. No, you've put them in a camp. You're like, them. It's the ready salted

potato chip of the ice cream world. No. Okay. So I understand... I'm not talking French vanilla. I'm talking vanilla. I love... French vanilla is probably French vanilla. I'm talking vanilla. I love French vanilla is probably. No, that's old mates.

That's not vanilla. That's not plain vanilla. It's creamier, isn't it? It's, yeah. And it's obviously got a bit more of a taste to it. Now, when you go to the supermarket, there are literally, you're spoiled for choice with ice cream. So you take home a tub of vanilla.

What are you, the boringest person in the world? When you could be having like, I don't know, multiple different chocolate ripples and flavours and goody-goody gumdrops or Gold Rush or the ooh-la-la ice creams, the carpeties. If you're having some kind of like pie, like an apple pie, or some kind of dessert where, like an apple pie. Yeah. Or some kind of dessert where it's all really fancy.

Or you could get a bougie ice cream to go with that. No, you don't want something that battles the flavour of whatever you're having. You want a nice

accompaniment. Just like a custard or a vanilla ice cream. But then get a berry, get a boysenberry. Imagine getting the boysenberry with a nice apple pie.

Oh. Yum. With the berry and the apple. Yeah, get a boysenberry. Imagine getting the boysenberry with a nice apple pie. Oh, yum. With the berry and the apple. Yeah, what a combo. But then you have a tub of vanilla ice cream that can go with any kind of dessert that you have. And you can make vanilla ice cream into anything. Once an ice cream is an ice cream, it's done. Well, yeah, because we used to put Milo on another vanilla ice cream if we ever had that. Sprinkles on vanilla ice cream.

Crumble up some biscuits on top. Yeah. Yeah. But if you've got boysenberry, I mean, that would actually be delicious. That's still though. And then like,

if you've got a fussy household or if you're having a dinner party and you don't quite know what everyone's into, then you just hit it with vanilla. Well, no, you buy the nice ice cream and if they don't like it,

they don't eat it. I just, I'm really disappointed in people. It's like when someone comes around with a bag of ready salted chips. That I kind of understand. You're like, how are you my friend? But then ready salted can go with like any kind of dip. You know, it's the same kind of thing. You've lost me now, Pappas.

Yes, absolutely. No, I was playing devil's advocate. I don't buy ready salted either. I understand ready salted chip. Nobody should. Like, a hatred for that. But not vanilla ice cream. When New Zealanders are eating a million litres more than any other ice cream. Seven Sharp further looked into it and did like blind taste tests. And they said the one that won was one of the cheap ones. Really?

Deep South. Right. It's in a black tub and it's got a picture on it of like mountains with ice. Oh, okay. Right. Which makes you be like. I so reckon I could taste test a tip top. You could pick a tip top out. Yeah. In a range. Of a vanilla with ice. Oh, okay, right. Which makes you feel like... Oh, I so reckon I could taste test a tip top. You could pick a tip top out?

Yeah. In a range. Of a vanilla. Yeah. I reckon. Do you reckon you could pick out the flash tub? No. Like the one that has the actual vanilla bean...

The... Gold. That you can see the vanilla bean bits in it? Yeah. Fancy. You'd taste the vanilla. You'd feel the texture, wouldn't you? I don't know.

I don't know. I'd just be doing that blind taste test, and I'd be like, couldn't we do a nice taste test, like the bougie ice creams or the chocolates? What do you buy if you, like, bought yourself a little tub? I don't know anything that's not vanilla.

I'll get those little bougie ones sometimes if I'm treating myself. Yeah. Your cookies and cream? I like cookies and cream. I like Gold Rush. Yeah. That's probably my favourite if I got an ice cream at the dairy. You scoff at me for the fancy

plain flavours. Like, I love a maple walnut. Huge fan of a maple walnut. See, that's not... I don't know. I've been with Bleach Report and he's like, oh, these flavours, why are you getting that? Or you get a rum and raisin. Oh, yum. What are you, 50? No.

What are you eating 50? No. What are you eating that for? Look at it. You've got, you're going to have bloody rainbow swirly goody. Yeah, like raspberry white chocolate. Oh, yum. See, that's as close as I'd get to a vanilla. It's a subtlety.

It's the subtle. Just saying, there's all these options and people go vanilla. It's versatile. Disappoint me. Disappoint me. So people that always sleep with white people. Get a flavour. Have you guys,

you guys, we live in a modern world. Get out there. Try it. I mean, I'm not disagreeing. 70%. Of course you're not.

70% Ghana. Get it. Leroy. Fletchfod and Megan's 20 questions. 70% Ghana? Get it. You're little. Okay. All you've got to do is listen to all the clues. We do this at 7 and 8 every morning when we're slowly whittling down possibilities of what this mystery item could be.

These are the questions so far. Is it a living thing? No. Is it found in a house? No. Is it a power tool? No. Does it have a motor?

No. And is it something you would wear? No. 15 questions left. We've not had any yeses. No. Yes, no. No, we haven't had any yeses.

Andy, good morning. Good morning. All right, so question 15. We need a yes, no question from you. Okay. Is it found outside? Yes. Ooh.

We got a yes. Okay. Good. God, what? It's something outside. Could be one of five Okay. Good. God, it's something outside. Could be one of five things. Good luck. Is it a fence?

For $2,000, is it a fence? No, it is not a fence. Okay. And it's found outside, so we finally had a yes. Yeah, well, that's true a fence. Okay. All right, it's found outside, so we've finally had a yes. Yeah, well, that's true. 14 questions left. Erika. Hello, good morning.

Good morning, Erika. Okay, so... I like that. Erika. Erika. Really spicing up your name. You can have it. I'll spice it up for nothing.

All right, we need a yes-no question from you. Okay, narrowing it down. Is it something you'd find outside around your house? Wait there. Wait there. The judges need to confer. I'm just going to put her into the kind of silence here. Hang on.

I'm going to turn out my... Yeah, we can't have an on-air confer. Okay, so wait there. Wait there, New Zealand. Wait. Don't have an on-air concert. Okay, so wait there. Wait there, New Zealand. Okay, so we've just had a little discussion. Get Arika back. Hello.

Arika. Arika. Now, can you clarify the wording on your question again, please? I said, is it found outside around the house yes okay yes no see

you've got to say no no no no you don't because it's just yes or no and yes the judges are having trouble with this question

that needs to be noted should we say that the answer is yes I think you can say do you need to Do you need to deliberate again? Wait there, wait there. Wait there, wait there.

Okay, look. You almost put me on a flat. Deliberate it. It could be or can be. So the answer is yes. Yeah, but it's misleading if you say it's outside everyone's mouth. It could be or can be. So the answer is yes. Okay. Yeah, but it's misleading if you say it's outside everyone's mouth. It's not misleading because you have to answer it, ask a question that can be answered and yes, no.

This is like the time we're on the road. It can be. No, that is not an answer. The answer is yes. It's a yes, no. Yeah, but you're being mean. No, I'm not being mean. Arika, we need a guess from you.

Okay. That might have changed my guess, but I'm going to go with, is it a hose? A hose for $2,000. It is not a hose. Okay. Thanks. All right, thanks, Arika.

So, 13 questions to go. If you want to keep up, ZM Online, our Instagram, for all the closing guesses that we've had so far. We'll give you chances to play again tomorrow, 7 and 8. I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to take a moment to say thanks to Spark for sponsoring the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast.

Back to the podcast. There's been a study done on what star signs are the most successful on dating apps. What about Chinese Zodiac? Because I like them better. What are you?

Aren't you a goat? A dog. A dog. A dog. You're the dog. I think I'm a rat. Yeah, you and Sade are rats. That's not appealing on a Tinder or a Bumble profile.

But the rat's one of the heroes of the story because he hitches a ride, he jumps on whoever wins. I think the tiger or the dragon win. I think the rat's just like bumming a ride. Resourceful. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right.

So I have a list of men and women. There's two separate lists of who is most successful. So if you're not that successful on Tinder and your star sign is on your profile, this could be why. Because people, would you say a lot of people know what star sign they're compatible with? Even if they don't truly believe? No, it's more traits of these star signs that are appealing without people really knowing. Right.

It's not like they're going on there being like, ooh, a Scorpio. Because some people do, they get really into it. They're like, well, I'm really into my Pisces or my Libras. This is just focusing on what seems to be most appealing, just swipe-wise. I mean, it's not if the dates are successful in the end or anything. It's just what's getting the most swipe. They're just going on raw data. Yeah.

Okay. And there is only details on first, second, and third because the rest, well, you suck. You lose. Right. So do you want the list of each of them? Yeah, I think so. I'll go from the top. It's all of them listed.

Okay. So there's 12. Yep. And then end with number one. That's how you do lists on the radio. So male or female first. It builds anticipation, doesn't it? Right. Should I do male first? Okay. So there's 12. And then end with number one. That's how you do listening to the radio. So male or female first. It builds anticipation, doesn't it? Right. Should I do male first? Okay.

Number 12 is Capricorn. You're last. You get the least swipes. Because you're a goat. If you were a really hot Capricorn, you're going to get swipes, aren't you? Well, yeah. Against the hot people doing well again. Has anybody done the maths on that?

I don't know. Number 11 is Sagittarius. 10 is Fletch Cancer. Third to last. That explains so much, doesn't it? Nobody wants cancer. Third to last. Just even seeing the word cancer in a dating profile.

They need to rejig that marketing situation. Number 9 is Gemini. Number eight is Leo. Remember, this is males. Yep. This is the highest swipes for male star signs. Number eight, Leo.

Seven, Aries. Six, Scorpio. Five, Libra. We're still waiting to hear the borns. Number four is Aquarius. Well, that's one of mine because I'm a cuss.

No, one or the other. No, that's the good thing about being'm a cusp. No, one or the other. No, that's the good thing about being on the cusp. You just pick whichever one does better. So number three is what you're on the cusp of, Pisces. Top two are Virgo and the winner, the most swiped male on

dating apps is Taurus. So Taurus men. Right, okay. For the females, number 12, Pisces. Right, okay. For the females, number 12, Pisces, 11, Sagittarius, 10,

Aries, 9, Libra, 8, Aquarius, 7 is Gemini. So we're getting into the top six. Yep.

Females, what is the top six female star signs? Capricorn, 5 is Virgo, 4 is Cancer. Still haven't got to mine yet how are the female Cancers higher than the male Cancers

for swiping on Tinder rigged this is rigged still haven't got to mine 3 is Taurus I'm second Leo is the second most popular female star sign

if I was on Tinder I'd be killing it you'd be hot property with the toy boys on Tinder if you were single the top female is Scorpios. Oh, they're crazy. So-

How do you know they're crazy? I don't know, I just feel like I haven't said anything for ages, so I needed to chime in with some sort of star-based bullshit. Scorpio women, it's because of their sexuality

and their desire to connect on a deeper level, apparently. And the top men, Taurus men, they're grounded and driven. It's an earth sign. So their strong world- I'm just changing my star sign to Taurus men, they're grounded and driven. It's an earth sign. So they're strong-willed. I'm just changing my star sign to Taurus.

This sounds like me. Strong-willed? What else? Leo women, who are second and most appealing, they may come across as high-maintenance and require a little more effort and consideration. But it appears to be a defining... Oh, there's no...

Did you say anything positive? She was waiting for a but and it never came. It just says this appears to be a defining, oh, there's no, did you say anything positive? She was waiting for a but and it never came. It just says this appears to be a defining trait of the woman who topped the list. Just high maintenance, crazy woman. But. Oh, there's no but. Oh, no.

Told everybody the truth. Don't hate the player. Without the but. Hate the game. I'm getting the most swipes. Flesh Fauna Megan, the podcast. ZM. Well, bad news, Megan.

You might need to turn the heat pump on. We're getting a cold snap, and MetService have issued a severe weather watch in parts of the South Island, including heavy rain over Westland. I'm going to sweep my puffer. I think they just prefer Westland. Westland. I know when I said that, I was like, Westland.

Westland. Westland. Westland. But yeah, cold this week. Boo. It's winter. I mean, it's... I know, but I thought we're done with that.

I thought we were done. We haven't even started. I was wearing shorts yesterday. Mountain ranges and stuff. I know. I was wearing shorts yesterday. 18 degrees. And now I've got to wear pants again.

It's horrible. Well, it's time for... Oh, yeah, poor darling. It's time for... Sweetie, I know. Honey. Sweeter. Swe, it's time. Oh, you poor darling. It's time for... Sweetie, I know. Honey. Sweetheart. Sweetheart.

Doll. Still got a mum. Champ. Chief. Boss. Babe. Miss Thing. Pants.

It's okay. Miss Thing. Miss Thing. If someone called me Miss Thing, I wouldn't be mad at it. I'll Miss Thing. All right. Well, if we're calling Megan Miss Thang, it must be time for... Fact of the Day, Day the Granny Smith apple. Okay. Good for baking. Yeah, that's about all though.

It's about all there is, isn't it? Real thick skin too. Yeah. Is that what makes them good for baking? No, it's the tart flavour. It's the tart,

but the skin... You peel it. It's weird when you see someone at their desk or walking around and they're eating a Granny Smith. You're like,

what's wrong with you? There's so many apples out there. Have you seen someone eating a peeled apple lately? No. I saw someone eating a peeled apple a Granny Smith, you're like, what's wrong with you? There's so many apples out there. Have you seen someone eating a peeled apple lately? No. I saw someone eating a peeled apple the other day. I was like, they peel the whole thing. They peel the skin off. Because when I was a kid, I didn't like the skin on apples and I'd be like, peel the apple!

And then my granddad would whip out this little knife and be like, and peel the apple and we'd eat the apple. Shaka. But, oh yeah, his knife would be perfectly sharp. Everyone's got an old mate that's sharpening a knife that doesn't need sharpening. Yeah, right.

My granddad, once he went through his wasabi knife, he sent it back and was like, can you put a new blade on this? And they were like, we're so confused. What's happened? What was wrong with the blade? He sharpened it on an angle grinder. Every time he'd use it for a couple of days,

he'd be like, shit, this thing's getting blunt. And it was so sharp. And he'd sharpen it, and it just whittled down to nothing. Just wore down to a little. Yeah, so he sent it back. They were so confused. He said, when I bought it, it said it had a lifetime warranty. Yeah, but they sent it back with a new blade on it.

What? They were just like, we don't know what this old man is doing. Like, what's he doing with his knife? I hate Swiss Army knives. It didn't have all the other business on it. So stupid and pointless. Just get a knife. It was just a knife.

It was just a pocket knife. It didn't have all the other business on it. Because I don't like those. They're too thick. What do I need a full fork on a knife for? And it comes in half and I've got a knife and a fork now. I have a fork and a spoon. Right.

It's a lot. Yeah. It's a lot. Yeah. It's very rare that I'm going to need that. Anyway, he'd peel it. I saw someone the other day eating a peeled apple. I was like, I just didn't think we did that anymore. No. So we ate it skin and all.

You grow up. Remember that big buzz in the 90s about, don't peel your food, it's where all the nutrients are. Give it a light scrimp. That's not true. Give it a light scrimp. I thought that was true. And it is true, but that was when everybody stopped peeling their veg and just ate it skin and all. Is that not true? Give it a light scrub. No, that was, and it is true, but that was when everybody stopped peeling their veg

and just ate its skin and all. Yeah. You know? Put a dirt on your carrots, make you strong. I ate a whole kiwi fruit yesterday. People were horrified. Yeah, you eat the skin and all. It's like fibre.

Scrubs it out on the way through. Yeah. Scrubs it all out. Makes you go toilet. So Granny Smith's probably the apple you would peel if you're going to peel because of the tough skin, as previously discussed. But I've, as a Smith, Yeah. My nana on my Smith side was a nana.

She wasn't a granny. People would be like, ha, Granny Smith, because she loved a Granny Smith apple. Well, I've learned why they're called Granny Smiths. They get their name from an Australian woman called Maria Ann Smith, who was nicknamed Granny Smith because Okay. Because she was a granny. Her husband died. She took over the family orchard. And so the story goes.

It was 1868. And she had a crate of old crab apples, French crab apples. Oh, okay. They were from Tasmania. So those are quite tart. Very tart. And you use them for cooking. They're really good for cooking. Crab apple jam and. Very tart. And you use them for cooking. They're really good for cooking.

Crabapple jam and stuff. Crabapples are really good for cooking. And she just tipped them into a creek. Oh, yeah. Like a ditch. She was just like, I just don't want these anymore, but I want the creek. So she was a polluter. Essentially, yeah.

So then she used the creek to fill it up. And then she saw that from there, there was a little sapling tree growing. And she was like, I've got other things to do. I don't have time to clean that up. It grew and it started fruiting. And it was like, that's really green. And she bit it and she was like, that's better than the crab apple that it came from.

And tried it in the baking and everything. And then it took off. Wait, so where did that come from? The apples that she tipped in. So I don't know this, but every apple you grow from seed will be different to the one it was grown from. So the ones that we, when we eat like Pacific rose versus just rose, they're different and they get cloned.

You like take a branch and you stick it on the other tree on the roots. And the only way to ensure that they're all going it on the other tree on the roots. Oh, yeah. And the only way to ensure that they're all going to be the same is to clone them. When you grow them from seed, they change kind of every time. Oh, okay. That's how we've got such a variety of apples. But then they get onto a good one like the rose. Personal favourite.

I love the rose. And they clone them and they plant a whole orchard of them so they can provide a consistent product. Take my Pacific rose seeds. No, because they'd change. You know, that's what I want. And then you might get an orange or something. Yeah, you do that, sweetheart. Yeah, good on you, boss. Good on you,

chief. Good work, Miss Thing. Put that in your wee bucket in your room. I see this. You can't keep a house plant alive, mate. There's no way you're growing an apple from seed. It's not happening. But you buy something that literally is

don't touch me and I'll be right and it dies and you're like, I don't know what went wrong. I've got two pot plants that are brown. Just can't be bothered because they've still got the shape of the old fern. But from a distance, it's fine. I'm actually thinking about spray painting them green.

Oh my God. Yeah. You should have houseplant survivor, and they need to extinguish their tiki torch and chuck them in the bin. That's a great idea. Tip them out of their pot into the bin. You're like, the tribe has spoken. And they fall out, and you're like, bye.

It's about time. It's winter. Just leave them be a little bit. They're hibernating. What are those peace lilies? I've got to water those every two days. No, winter. Just leave them be a little bit. They're hibernating. What are those tea slullies? I've got to water those every two days. No, you don't.

No, no, no. Famously, no. Because they all go bleh. Yeah, that means too much water, mate. And if they go brown on the tips. Too much water. No, but they like sag down. And then you give them a bit of water and they come back to life. Yeah.

Okay. Okay, well you just monitor them. Just a little bit. You know, only water them when they sag down. Having to water something once every two days also isn't the end of the world. You literally have nothing else to do once you leave work. I'm very busy. Your schedule is open.

I'm very busy. For like 20 hours of the day. One hour for the gym, I'll give you that. But we're still unsure what else is happening. Eight hours for sleeping. A lot of sleeping. That's 11 hours of shenanigans. Okay, you're right. I could look after my plants more,

but they're all different, and I lose track of which one needs which. Again, something in the 11 hours a day you have spare that you could surely make a label for them. We'll see. Today's fact of the day is Granny Smith. Throw those out and then I regret it. Carry on.

What do you throw out? The label. How to look after the term. Keep them somewhere. A little folder. And beside it you could be like, beside television. So you can be like, what was that one? You open up your little folder and you're like, here's my instructions.

To an old mate. Yeah. Don't act like this is below you. You do this sort of thing. I'll put it in my password notebook. Yes, please do. Yeah, stable it in. And it's one of those ones with letters down the side, like a Rolodex.

So you go down and you're like, H, houseplant. Okay. Beside television. Okay. Do not water. Okay. Okay. I'll just shut that.

You're all right, plant. I'm not going to touch you today. So today's fact of the day is Granny Smith apples were invented when someone called Granny Smith tipped some old rotten crab apples in the drain. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. The Chase It's a favourite of the show I'm a tipping point man myself Oh yeah good

I only ever see The Chase I'll turn on the news I'll watch like the last 10 minutes Always a big round And the other day I turned the TV on news, I'll watch the last 10 minutes. It's always a big round. And the other day, I turned the TV on early and I saw the first How It Starts. Correct. The chase. It was weird.

I didn't like it. When there's the four of them, they have to beat the chaser to get to the final round. Yeah. But they also get money to take through to that final round. Huge, huge TV show this is. Worldwide. People love this. It's massive. to take through to that final round. Huge, huge TV show this is, worldwide. People love this. And famously, Anya, she knew this was coming,

has a thing for which chaser do you, the one that, the beast that hooked up with his cousin. I don't have a thing for the beast who hooked up with his cousin. I just said he looks cute, he's got a nice smile, he looks dapper in a suit, and he's very smart, all right? She's got weird taste in men. Who was that other one that you liked? That's pretty mean. The cinnaman is also, he's very smart, all right? She's got weird taste in men. Who was that other one that you liked?

What do you mean? The Cineman is also, he's lovely. Who? The Cineman, Paul Sinan. Oh, on, on, on. Yeah, my chase knowledge is fire. So it wasn't, who was the chaser under fire? Sean, the dark destroyer Wallace.

Oh, okay, right. A bit of drama here, a bit of controversy. He had a real shocker, and people are saying it's because the final contestant playing the chase, Lucy, was a bit of a looker. She was hot. Oh, yeah, right. Bradley Walsh asked him, are you doing this deliberately? And the Dark Destroyer said, no, no, no, no, no. And then everyone online is accusing him of throwing the game because he liked Lucy.

But then I wonder if they do have to throw the odd game because it is very, very rarely do they give away any money on that show. And if they do, it's a thousand pounds. But aren't they saying she's hot so she can't be like smart and onto it? No, they're just saying that he's normally so smart. Because he has to get them right. She could get them right. But if he's getting them right too, he's right on her smart. Because he has to get them right. She could get them right, but if he's getting them right too, he's right on her tail.

So he has to get them wrong. Yeah. So he was getting them wrong to give her a bit of a head start on things. And then she could answer them correctly and then move ahead, obviously, and take him back a spot. Right. But this is very timely because last night's episode was a charity one and the celebrity team won £160,000 for their charity.

And he was the same, the Dark Destroyer was on and he was like, oh, I don't know. Well, it looks bad if they don't give anything to the charity. I saw them do it at Charity One's one and destroyed them. And I was like, that's going to be, the charity finally gets its time on the chase and then they get nothing out of it. But then last night you could tell he was, I guess,

you know, getting answers wrong or pretending not to know. Yeah. When normally he'd get all of them right. Yeah. So I don't know. Fine. Just give them easy questions and him real hard ones. But they're so smart, those chases, aren't they?

Is there a picture of this girl? Give them easy questions. It's the same question. They're the same question. They're the same question. No, in the final round, it's not. They get a pile of questions each. Oh, when they're doing the race to see how... No, but he doesn't get to answer those.

That's just them getting to answer them. No, he answers them, and then they get to answer them if they're wrong in the final round. I haven't watched enough of The Chaser. I will always see the last five minutes. I don't have the last five minutes. You don't have the last five minutes.

I'll let you have it because I don't know. This is why I'm a tipping point guy. I just scream, you've tripped into the wrong alley, you moron. I would like to know, though, when, and I want to take some calls on this, when you've let someone get away with something because you thought they were hot. Because this is another example of hot people getting away with murder. Murder of the hot degree.

I see why if I saw a hottie, I'd probably make it harder for them. I feel like you've had everything handed to you in this life. Here's an example, Megan. Yes. A hottie comes into your cafe and orders a slice and they drop the slice

on the floor. Their fault. Their fault, not yours. You've already taken payment. Oh no, but I just feel bad because I've dropped it

on the floor anyway. So you'd give them a free slice. Don't do it though. Don't you take the piss out of my niceness. Yeah, fatten them up. Now, swap it though. Don't you take the piss out of my niceness.

Now, swap it out for an uggo. No, I'd do it for an uggo too. Would you? I'd be like, yuck, get out. Pick the slice up on the floor, it's all you deserve. No, I'd be like, oh, you're an uggo and you drop your slice. Life sucks, get out.

Get out. Don't come back. But I think people would definitely Life sucks. Get out. Get out. I'll give you another one. Don't come back. But I think people would definitely, I think people would let hot people get away with things more. And maybe you've been at work. Of course they do. And you've had to deal with someone hot,

and you've just let them, when you normally wouldn't, let them get away with something. Maybe it's paying for something. Do people realise they're doing it, or is it kind of subliminal? Ever told a hot person no? They don't know how to process it.

Blah, blah, blah. You're like, no. And they're like, but no one says no, I'm hot. You're like, yeah, well, guess what? This guy's in a bad mood. So it's no. Well, 0800-DARLS-AT-M 9696.

What did you let a hottie get away with? When you have you let a hot person get away with something just because they're hot. There's a bit of drama with the Chase the TV show. They've been accused of rigging a game so a hot person can win. The Destroyer did, right? Yeah. Yeah, but. The guy thing.

Yeah. Oh, you think. Because the Bradley Walsh, the host called him out about it. Oh, right. Okay. So that makes me think it wasn't because surely you'd have the host in on it, right? Or maybe guys just make it too obvious. Like, girls are a bit more subtle with it.

You reckon. Dave, what did you let a hottie get away with just because they were hot? I was walking through the mall the other day and the lady said, would you like to? And I straight away said, no, thank you. And then I double looked at her and I just, I found myself buying something I didn't even want. Was it one of those Dead Sea face masks?

Yeah, and a glass nail file. So wait, you went from saying no thanks to actually just buying because she was hot? Yeah. Yeah, she was. Oh, yeah. She was marriage hot. Did you get a phone number or anything? No, no.

The wife wouldn't let me. Oh, Dave. Brilliant. You're in so much trouble. You are, Dave. Thanks for your call. Some text messages. Funny though, we are hearing from the guys, aren't we? Yeah. Yeah. We had a new hot waitress at work. I got her to make my morning coffee.

When it comes to my coffee, I'm very honest. She made it and it was awful. She asked me how it was and I said, it was great. And she then continued to make my morning coffees for the next six months. I was going to say, you've got to be honest because otherwise you'll get rubbish coffees. Yeah. Yeah. When I was a doorman, I used to let hotties into the club. Of course. Everyone knows that happened. Yeah. When I was a doorman, I used to let hotties into the club.

Of course. Everyone knows that happened. Yeah. When they were slightly more intoxicated than they should have been. However, it's science that ugly people tend to spend more money when hotter people are in the club. I mean, you didn't need to tell us that. We all knew that.

We know. We know that. I was working at the races at a sushi stand for work experience when I was at high school. Yeah. A hot guy came up and asked me what I'd do if he stole some sushi. He was so hot I couldn't even come up with a response

so he just picked up sushi and walked away with it. Oh my god. He knows that he's hot. He knew, he knew, yeah. I was working as a cook. It was past the breakfast cut off but someone asked for breakfast and I was about to scream at the waitstaff, and then I knew the look in her eye, and she said, he's quite hot.

So I popped the geese, also hot. So you got the breakfast outside of breakfast. You've got to be flexible with your breakfast cutoff. Like, eggs don't evaporate at 1 o'clock. No, but they're doing a changeover in the kitchen. What, and the person coming in can't check for the eggs? You don't have a cafe, Megan. You don't know.

But I also don't have a changeover service. I don't go to like a restaurant at night or whatever. But that's why. But yeah, of course, he's hot, so he gets what he wants. Yeah. Okay. Hot people. Well, it's getting away with it.
