ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thanks, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Fletch. Thank you, Megan. You say that every day. Thank you, Fletch. Thanks for introducing us. Megan gave me a ride to work today as we are heading into city, into Ireland. Yeah, we are.

Down to Christchurch for bingo tonight. Bingo tonight at Fat Eddie's. Well, we both had suitcases and she has a two-door go-kart. MX5. The MX5. And she said to me yesterday, I don't know if both suitcases will fit in the boot. And I thought, she's exaggerating. And then she said, I won't bring my big suitcase.

And I bought a medium suitcase and squeezed everything I needed into it. That is a big suitcase. No, it's the same size as Bourne's. But like eight of those would fit in the boot of my car. Yeah. One took up her entire boot. And you have to like squidge the boot shut. And I had to sit with the suitcase on my lap.

I didn't see the road or anything the whole way in. Megan was like, where do I go from here? I'm like, it feels like we should be going left. I can't see. She was, no, no, no. When you were like, oh, this taxi's still sitting here. I was like, oh, yep. I couldn't see the taxi.

When we got in, I said to Fletch, I don't think Vaughn was very comfortable, but he didn't complain. No, like, oh, yep. I'd get in and see him. When we got in, I said to Fletch, I don't think Vaughn was very comfortable, but he didn't complain. No, no. The whole way. No, no. One thing I wish I had done

was sit the suitcase up the other way as the handle was like digging right into my thigh. But I thought, I've done this to myself. But then I got to drive Megan's car. And I got to put it in the car.

How was that? It was so much fun. Yeah, it's like a go-kart. It is, yeah. It's like the Mario Kart. It's like Mario Kart. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And then where I parked

in the casino by work, the car park's all like ramps and levels and tight corners. It was a lot of fun. Is there a dent in my car now? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm going to try to get that security footage because I reckon I set a new

drifting record, right? Oh, Jesus. Alright, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three riveting, exciting news stories that I've found online or humorous. And we're going to make you pick one of the following three headlines.

The other headlines? Well, we don't find out about those stories in there. Gone forever. Headline one, British teen welcomes Donald Trump to the UK. Headline two, what are the chances? And headline three, underwear clad Adelaide man chases home intruder with didgeridoo. That kind of says it all. Great headline, though.

Giving it all. Great headline. I saw that guy. I saw a picture of that guy yesterday. Good thing, though, didgeridoo, because it's light, but it's a hard wood, so you'd be able to give someone a good donk with it. Yeah, you would. Probably the Trump story for me.

A lot of talk about Trump being in the UK. Did he see his little tuxedo? Yes. Didn't fit properly. Oh, there's Puku. Was it a little bit short? It was too short, wasn't it? It was supposed to be short, but I think the vest underneath,

maybe you're supposed to tuck in or something. There was something very unusual looking about it. Everyone was like, you've got your son's vest on. Your little son. Not the adult son. What's he get about Baron? Yeah, poor guy. Poor kid.

Probably happy to be forgotten about. Yeah, yeah. The association. All right, we go to the UK now, where, of course, Donald Trump flew in. And I think they actually shut down a bit of the airspace, didn't they? And kind of interfered with a lot of flights. Did they? Because they were like, well, Air Force One's coming in, no one else's.

Right. Well, an art student wanted to ensure that Donald Trump got a rude reception when he flew into Stansted Airport. The 18-year-old, Ollie Ollie spent the weekend mowing an outline of a giant penis and the words, Oi Trump, on a field below Air Force One's flight path.

He added below that climate change is real beneath a polar bear in a separate field and said that living under the flight path has to have some advantages. Lad! I've got the... Let me click this open. I mean, this is... and said that living under the flight path has to have some advantages. Lad. I've got the, let me click this open. I mean, this is fantastic.

Oh, wow, that's good. That's good stuff. Fantastic. That's the climate change is real with the polar bear. That polar bear is wonderful. Oh, that polar bear is amazing. How did he map that out? I couldn't even draw that well, and he's done that with a lawnmower.

That's lawn art. I'm all aboard. And it's quite a skinny, it's a skinny one. Yeah, it's long and skinny. Oi, Trump. Fantastic. Do yourself a favour and look at these online. Very circular balls.

Very circular. Would you be able to do this with your ride-on lawnmower? It would take some planning. Because it's so hard to do the perspectives so. You went to level one. I did a level one yesterday. This is our group chat. Very exciting. Guys, I've mown the lawns to level one. I did a level one yesterday. This is our group chat.

Very exciting. Guys, I've mown the lawns on level one. Well, I usually mow them on a two. I started on a three in the height of summer. And then I went to a two. Two looked very smart. And somebody messaged me when I put a photo up of my freshly mown lawn and say, you want to try a one to get rid of that broad leaf

or something like that. And I was like, ooh, one. And so yesterday I did one and it looks sharp. I finished in the dark. I officially became one of those dads who was rushing to get something done as the sun was like going down. Sade's like, come on. I'm like, I'm almost done.

I'll be in in a minute. And I hurry to get the lawns. Yeah, right. I'm done, but I was very happy with the result. I stood out there in the dark and looked at it and I went, that'll do. That'll do for today. But a one, I know. What a loose cannon.

Yeah. The group chat didn't really explode, did it, Megan? Nah. It wasn't quite the reaction. I mean, it was the reaction I was expecting. It's not the reaction I wanted. Right. I don't really get the sort of lawn-thusiasm out of you guys that I get from myself.

I don't have a lawn, so I don't care. I do, but it doesn't get me jazzed. But then I thought you would live vicariously through my lawn. Yeah, man, because you know I do love a good lawn. Yeah. You're just angry because you've not yet been allowed to engage blades. Yeah, especially at a one. Yeah, exactly.

That's a low setting. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Just a heads up, if you're planning on going to Russia and you're on Tinder, maybe give it a beat when you're over there.

Just give it a miss. Give it a what, Megan? Give it a beat. Give what a beat? Stay off Tinder and give it a beat, you just said. No, I mean like,

give it a beat means like pause. No, it doesn't. Okay, not in that context. It does in a musical sense, but not when you're talking about an act using a hookup. Sorry. If you're going to Russia, don't go on Tinder, give it a beat. I've never said that in the context that you're talking about.

I don't say that. I've just never heard that as an expression. Give it a beat. Give it a moment. Give it a minute. Give it a minute, maybe. Okay. Give it a moment. Give it a minute. Give it a minute, maybe. Because the Russian government is requiring Tinder to hand over data on its users that includes messages from Tinder.

So Tinder has said that they have registered to be compliant with Russian authorities, but they've not handed over any data to the government kind of yet. So I don't know. They haven't seen where they plan to in the future, but the Russian government is saying that they have to. That's pretty scary, isn't it? Yeah.

So that's amongst a whole bunch of things that the government's cracking down on. Like the national intelligence agencies wants to crack down on the freedom in the internet. Right. So that's one of the things, Tinder. And this isn't the cagey... What are they going to find out?

Dirty stuff. Right. But well, it's they're quite anti homosexual, right? Oh yeah. And Tinder can be used for straight hookups but also gay hookups, so then that's still like a big anti-homosexual, like, right? Oh, yeah. Oh, are they? Yeah. And Tinder can be used for straight hookups

but also gay hookups. So then that's still like a big, a big no-no. And they're scary. KGB, scary. So scary. Wait, is the KGB

the same as the government? Well, no, that's like their secret. The KGB was their Oh, so like their CIA or something. Yeah, the KGB. It's still a thing though, right? No, it's not. Is it not? The KGB was their spy force. Oh, so like the CIA or something. Yeah, the KGB. It's still a thing though, right?

No, it's not. Is it not? The KGB stopped when it stopped being the USSR. It's now the Federal Security Service for the Russian Federation. Oh, right. Because I was going to say, they're not going to stop having secret spies and police, are they? No.

No. No. They, wow, they have more than 262,000 employees. When's the last time you had a KGB? A delicious drink. Like, let's talk about that for a second. I had a big night in Mevercins. I'm pretty sure you can still get a KGB.

I've Googled KGB. It says KGB drink, then KGB Russia. It's good to know that. Yeah, the KGB. It says KGB drink, then KGB Russia. It's good to know that. Yeah, the KGB. Yep. Oh, they've definitely changed the packaging since I last indulged. Because it was named after the KGB, wasn't it? Yeah.

Was it? Yeah. That's why it had like a start. The first ones that had a start in the first ever bottles of KGB. Because KGB was early RTD. Yep. There was Tattoo, Purple Gowanas, Stingers, KGB because KGB was early RTD. There was Tatu, Purple Gowanas,

Stingers, KGBs. They were the early days and it was a vodka based drink so of course the association to Russia and then they wanted some Russian symbolism

and KGB was the most well known one. Couldn't do one of those. Good lord. Bad memories. Bad memories. Yeah, they were so sugary.

My dad opened one of those And left it by my bed One morning After a big night It was not pleasant As like a As like a deterrent And a cold pie He was like

Do you want some breakfast I was like Ha ha ha You're so funny Why the cold pie Cause I was hungover And I had He had to drag me away

From a party Right But a cold cold just reheat the pie that sounded deteriorating to me that's delicious no he wanted me to eat

the pie cold right it's like punishment yeah so you weren't allowed to microwave the pie he obviously never met

teenage me that wouldn't have I would have microwaved that pie and nommed it down I just probably would have eaten it cold so I didn't have to

leave the bed ZM's Fletch Warner Megan the podcast. A photo. Oh, well, actually, it's not a photo. It's a drawing. An artistic interpretation has been removed from Trade Me. It was entitled Wild Rider.

And you might be thinking, oh, what is inappropriate about that? Well, it's a horse. A naked horse. Okay. As horses spend most of their time. Naked, but they've got like a mouth strap. They've got like a harness on their head. Okay. You wouldn't get away with putting a photo of a human naked with a harness on its head. No. On your wall, would you? No. Galloping in the grass? Well, on the back

of the horse is more nakedness as there was a naked interpretation of the Prime Minister. Riding the horse is more nakedness as there was a naked interpretation of the Prime Minister. Riding the horse. Yes, riding the horse. Wow. That's pretty quick from training because it took them a week to get rid of those racist white t-shirts. Yeah, that took them a while. It's okay to be white. Remember those t-shirts?

Yeah, that's right. They took a bit on that. But you've got the naked Prime Minister and it's down and... We felt this listing was inappropriate and decided to take it down, said a spokesperson. It was somebody's pencil drawing. Not taking anything away from the person who did the drawing. It's quite well done, isn't it? It's hard to get the...

Hard to get... I've always struggled drawing a horse. I just have struggled to draw. I shouldn't be held up as any sort of artist or any sort of ability to draw, but a horse is very hard to do. Please tell me Clark purchased it. I believe it was taken down before it was purchased. Oh, okay.

Because imagine that. That would be a great move from Clark. Wraps it up and gives it to her for her birthday. Or Christmas. It would be a hot play. Put it on the wall at the batch. Maybe put some stickers over the batch. Yes. Maybe put some stickers over the bits.

Yep. Well, the bits that are online, I can only see it's got a sensor bar over the nipples. Right, okay. The nipples. But the horse isn't censored at all, and it's nakedness 100%. Did anybody draw John Key or Bill English on a horse? Naked? No. I'm so sorry for that mental image.

Oh my God, make it end. It also wasn't meant to be anything other than complimentary. They said they drew inspiration from both the Prime Minister's admirable resolve and New Zealand's wild nature and the taming of this graceful... The taming of this with graceful poise and the act of creating

peace and stability out of chaos. It's really well done. Yeah. Like, it's quite an amazing... Can I commission an art, a piece, a work of art

with my... I'm naked on a horse. Really? Would you like that? Yeah, but I don't want to actually have to pose for it. Just draw, like, a hot version. What, just to have it in the hallway at home so when people come around

it's the first thing they say yeah yeah and like because i'm sitting on the horse you wouldn't see my genitals but maybe just have a rogue ball just inside of the ball poking out so like a real eagle eye can be like right it's like an easter? It does look a bit like an Easter egg. Oh, God. Is that your ball or your thumb? I'd be like, well spotted, that's a testicle. Congratulations. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.

Well, we talked about his huge mansion that looks like a Westfields

and Byron Bay. Yeah. Why wouldn't you just put your feet up? I mean, you've got to make hay while the sun shines, but it seems like he's made a lot of hay. So now it's time to just sit in the barn and eat the hay. I don't know if that's the end of that analogy. Because the analogy make hay while the sun shines is about the farmer,

not the cow, eh? $90 million. His net worth was estimated in February of this year. My man. I'm sure his mansion costs, what, five? Yeah. Five or six. Five or six.

on the list of the top six sexy things Chris Hemsworth will do now that he's taking a break from Hollywood. Taking a nap on the couch. Oh, that's not sexy. You drool. Just like a little kitty cat, he's found a spot in the sun. He's curled himself up on the couch. He's going to read a book, but he's getting really sleepy.

He put his book down on his chest, shut his eyes, and he goes, and he has a little nap. Look at him there, like a sleeping angel. Oh, he's not wearing a top either. I was going to say, was he hot in the sun? Did he take his top off? Okay. Just a little shorty shorts on. Too hot for all those restrictive clothes.

You sound like such a creep. Number four on the list. You sold it with that laugh. The top six sexy things Chris Hemsworth would do now that he's taking a break from Hollywood. School drop-off and pick-up. Like, it's a bit of a thing. I, this, because you do school, I do school pick-ups,

and the majority of people that do school pick-ups, numbers-wise, from my experience, mums. There's the odd dad in the mix. Yep. And the dads, it's a real, get a fellow dad. But then in your mind, there's a bit of a dad ranking. Yep.

Imagine if Chris Hemsworth joined the thing. Oh, yeah. You'd be like, just come out to the car. I'm not coming into that. And all of a sudden, your wife would be wanting to do pickups. Do pickups. She's like, I'll do pickups. I'd be like, like hell you're doing pick-ups,

I'll do pick-ups. I want to see sexy Chris Hemsworth. Not you. Yeah. And then I'll be in there and I'll be like, hey, just doing the pick-ups. You haven't had a little nap on the couch? I had a little nap on the couch before,

but I looked more like Thor in Endgame than Thor in Infinity War, but... That's okay. Number three on the list of the top six sexy things Chris Hemsworth will be doing now that he's taking a break from Hollywood. He'll be doing some vacuuming. And you know what happens when you do vacuuming?

Number two on the list of the top six sexy things Chris Hemsworth will be doing now that he's taking a break from Hollywood, some hobby woodworking. But he's like old school. He doesn't like to use power tools. Plus, when you're working with power tools, you can't really be rocking around

with no shirt on. It's going to get hot out there in his woodworking shed. Open a window, Chris. I prefer the window shut. It's going to get hot. I know.

Are you going to take your shirt off? Might do. Uh-oh, he's shirtless again. And now he's got a hammer in his hand like he's Thor again. And he's going tap, tap, tap.

He's doing some chiseling. Right. I was imagining overalls with no shirt underneath. Oh, like strappy overalls. Yeah. Oh, that would look cute. That would look very sort of like warm German. Yeah.

You don't often see a warm German. German in the summer. Yeah. Bavaria. Oh, it's too hot for your shirt. Might just have been your overalls. That was more of a Dutch accent Yeah it was

You know what I'm getting at here Yeah And then after he's done The chiseling He's going to need to Smooth that out So he's going to rub That bit of wood

With some sandpaper And get it nice and smooth And then you know What he's going to do He's going to blow off the dust And he's going to get out a rag And he's going to put some Oil on

He's going to... Might go for a walk over there and see what's over there. Get over there. Do you know what? I'm over here now. It's a little hot. I think someone needs a restraining order.

You know what I'm going to do now that I'm a bit hot? I take my shirt off. Because I'm Chris Hemsworth. Might go check the mailbox. Wander on down. How's that? To the neighbour. Yeah.

And this guy next door is like, better now. He's not even a gay neighbour. He just appreciates, platonically he can appreciate another man's... Fine form. Fine physique. And then he's going to walk back up to the house

and he's going to potter around for a bit more. And then Elsa, his wife, is going to say to the kids, you seen dad? And they're going to say, he's just pottering around outside somewhere. But unlike most dads, he's not just like out there with a shirt on. He's out there with no shirt on. Do you need a cigarette or something? I do.

Take myself a cold shower. I'll keep my shirt on because I don't feel I'll ever measure up to Chris Hemsworth. That is today's Toppsack. Pizzanomics, it's great and they should teach, this would be a great way to teach some basic economics

Okay Actually Because you know Like you say pizza You're both listening I'm listening How quiet you're being Yeah

I remember doing Get a sticker I remember doing economics at school Or whatever they called it I don't It was boring I mean I was there But I don't remember it

And then they could like Talk about like pizza Because it's like Effectively like a pie graph Yeah So you get paid a pizza And then you've got to pay This much tax And this much And this much Like you break it down And if it's like effectively like a pie graph. Yeah. So you get paid a pizza and then you've got to pay this much tax and this much and this much. Like you break it down

and if it's a pizza and then you imagine you're left with this much of a slice. What a way you're connecting with the students for. It's the way to do it. I'm listening. It's the way to do it. Well Groupon in America did a study into the economics of pizza just being pizza, not being a representation of your income or anything

like that. Okay. And they found out every time it is better to order a large pizza as you're getting more square meterage of pizza bang for your buck. As opposed to what, just getting a small? Yes. Right. So they worked out and the average price for a 16-inch pizza in America was $19.23. That's quite expensive. In America, I would have thought America, the land of the pizza.

Sorry, Italy, but the land of the pizza. Well, you would have been able to get a cheaper pizza than that. Is 16, that would be our standard size? No. 12 inches our... Yeah, that's your standard one, isn't it? It's a bit bigger, but it's not as big as those massive sales pizzas. Yeah. It's kind of in between.

16-inch pizza. So to get the same amount of square footage of pizza, like area of pizza, in the smaller 10-inch pizza, you would need to buy two and a half pizzas. And that, on average, costs you $32. Right. $76. So this is even the case and I've noticed this, it's cheaper

rather than getting two small pizzas you get a big one and you ask for a half and half. Yeah. So even paying the extra, because generally it costs a little bit more to do a half and half, like a buck or two. It's always cheaper. Which I don't like because you're telling me it's too hard to put ingredients on a pizza. Well they've got it, yeah, no you're right. It should just cheaper. Which I don't like because you're telling me it's too hard to put ingredients on a pizza.

Well, they've got it. Yeah, no, you're right. It should just be part of the package. It should be part of the deal. Part of the pizza package. Yeah, but you don't know that a pepperoni doesn't take longer to cook than just like a cheese pizza. It would all take the same amount. It's all the same, isn't it? They put it on that little conveyor belt. Because they never put raw chicken in.

It's always chicken's been pre-cooked. I know, but if you're going to crisp up the salami, it might take longer than just a cheese. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here. Right, okay. So what, like you need to feed half of it in? I don't know. Spin it around. Maybe.

Put it in like that. Right. So, yeah, that's a better way to do it rather than getting two small pizzas. Get the biggest one you can and go half and half. It's better economics for pizza. But that kind of goes for everything. It's like if you wanted to get a 600ml

Coke, it's better to just get like a big one. But then of ease, like if I walked around just carrying like a 2.05, maybe he doesn't judge me. That blows my mind because we were at the supermarket and we were getting Coke Zero and so I looked at the

1.5 and it was for example, let's say $2.99. Yeah. And then the 2.5 was $1.99. Like, it wasn't just better value. It was way cheaper. And then a 600ml is like $4.50. Yeah. Yeah.

You're paying for convenience, right? I swear those, like, because they've gone smaller, eh, the little bottles? There are smaller options now. There are smaller options. But I feel like those have just gone up in price so much. Yeah. Well,

it's like when your mum used to buy a big bag of chips and split them into little bags of chips. You could take that big bottle of cocaine and pour it into smaller bottles. Yeah. So every day you just got your small little bottle.

And then by, do you know what I haven't seen for ages? And maybe it's because growing up, if we had fizzy drink, it was a real treat. We had like one glass and that was that one glass of the day and then it got put back in the fridge. Do you remember those things that were around in the 90s? I haven't seen one for ages. And you'd screw it onto

the top of your soda drink, your fizzy drink, and go, and then push it. And you'd pump the bottle up and it would hold the pressure in and it would hold a fizz it would hold a fizz for weeks oh my god and then aren't you just

pumping air in yeah but it would like pressurise it so it would hold the carbon dioxide in there there was no room for the bubbles to come up out of the

yeah right drink you'd pump it full of air and it would keep the fizz in that's how I always figured it worked when I was a kid go to the supermarket and buy another dollar something bottle.

But nowadays you just buy a fizzy drink and you go through it like in one evening. I feel sorry for Indy and August. They're going to get like individual bottles pouring every day now from a big bottle. And then it'll pump again. But then you can't take fizzy to school anyway. Yeah, that's true.

PC madness. You can't take much to school. Like Sade has to, she makes like a brownie, but then it's every second day because she doesn't want to be like mum shamed about getting an email about sending the kids chocolate every day. So wait, what are they allowed? A sandwich. Like healthy stuff.

But not with peanut butter. Madness. No peanut butter. No eggs either. Oh my God. Was at kindy or... You're telling me I can't take an omelette to primary school? And rub it in the face of your mates. No, you can't.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. We go to Indonesia now where a Facebook post has been picked up and has gone viral. And I love this story. So a guy called Frederico Hill. And he mentions the currency is RP, which is the Indonesian rupee.

So he must have been in Bali, maybe. Okay. Do they do rupees? The Indonesian rupee, I think it's called. Rupiah or something. Isn't the rupee the Indian currency? Well, no, yeah, it is, but there's, I think it's the rupiah or rupee or something like that.

Rupiah. Rupiah. Rupiah. Yeah. Well, no, yeah, it is, but there's, I think it's a rupee or something like that. Rupee. Rupee. Rupee. Yeah. Because you go to Bali and you get your money converted and you're like a millionaire. Yeah, straight away. Yeah, I love that. There's a 50,000 dollar note here.

You're like, it's worth $5, but yeah, yeah, make it rain. So this is a post on Facebook. I just bought this chicken out of spite because a mother behind me muttering to her whining child that he can only eat one piece. No more than that or you end up fat like that guy in front. So there's a picture of a giant tub, a bucket of chicken. It goes on to say, I asked the clerk if all the chicken on display is all they had left they said yes the other batch is still cooking i said to the clerk i'll buy it all i paid and walked away when the mother came up to the register the clerk explained that they

were out of chicken she needs to wait 30 minutes her Her kid keeps whining. She was angry and upset. She then looked at me frowning. I just flipped to the bird and turned and went home. Now I'm 240k RP poorer. I have 15 pieces of chicken because out of spite but seeing the look of her face and her kid is priceless.

So basically she called him fat. I don't think it's KFC. It looks KFC-ish but I just think it's a chicken store. $240,000 Indonesian. Yeah. $25. Oh, worth it. Worth it.

Worth every penny. Absolutely worth it. Bought every last piece of chicken they had on display out of spite. Eat it. Oh, no, you can't. Oh, you'd almost maybe tip some in the bin in front of them. Yeah. I mean, it's waste.

I wouldn't do that. No, I wouldn't take it home. Because I love it. There's no point in trying it. No, you just eat it in slow-mo, standing in front of them. Eat it real slowly. How rude though. Or invite the kid over and let him eat like five bits.

Yeah. Be like, you little me now. You're on the way. Wow. Okay, that's rude. But I love that because it's just out of spite. Yeah. And it's so petty,

but it's so brilliant. I've got one of these going on at the moment in this chat. I've got with some mates of mine. There's four of us in this chat group and three of us have been watching Chernobyl. Yeah. One member of the group, Callum, he's like,

I don't like, he doesn't like gory and he doesn't like scary stuff. Right. He's more of a Disney kind of. he doesn't like gory and he doesn't like scary stuff. And it is kind of haunting. Disney kind of. Yeah. Yeah. More of a Disney guy.

And he's like, I'm not watching it. It's horrible. And you've just described somebody melting. So I'm not going to watch it even more now. And one of my other friends, Aubyn, said, well, I'm not talking to you until you've watched the whole series. And now it's really weird because we're all in this chat group and if I say something, they'll each talk. But if Callum says something, Auburn doesn't react.

And if Auburn says something, Callum doesn't react. And it's like we're in this room and me and my other mate Johnny are talking to everybody, but everybody else isn't really talking to anybody else. Wow. Yeah. That's very petty. Yeah.

And there's even been a case where it's been said, can you please tell Callum that he can see it? And I don't know, this could just be our friendship for the rest of our lives now. Because Callum's not going to watch it. Because you're all stubborn to watch the program. Callum's not going to watch it, and Norman's not going to talk to him until he has watched it.

And you're all very stubborn. Yeah, very, very, very. It's just this weird, I don't know, does this just go on forever now? So, well. It's just as weird. I don't know. Does this just go on forever now? So, well, maybe. And this is what I wanted to know. Are you, have you ever done something that is this petty? Yeah, levels of, or just gone out of your way, yeah, to act out of spite.

And maybe, you know, and I think in this case, it's deserved. The mother shouldn't have said you'll end up fat like that person. This is very rude. This is very rude. We're about to hear from everyone who's ever flattered with someone they didn't get on with, really. Because when you don't get on with your flatmates, that wears them. Because we had a guy, and he moved in, and he said, I'm not paying for Sky.

I don't pay that. It was like $5 a month. It was next to nothing, and he was like, I'm not paying for it because I don't watch it. And he was always in front of the TV watching it. So if I ever came in and he was watching it, I'd grab the Sky Remote, turn it off and take the Sky Remote with me. Every time. Petty.

Every time. But then again, he didn't want to pay the five bucks a month. No, because he never watched it, but he was always watching it. Turn it off, take the remote. Those people, those flating people just. Okay, so whenever you've done something petty or out of spite? I'll 800 dials at him. We're talking about your acts of extreme pettiness.

Or maybe, what was the other way we put it? Pettiness or spite. Acting out of spite. Acting out of spite. Megan, during that short two minute 59 song, admitted that she does something incredibly petty. I told you like this is my life. No names. I'm the queen of pettiness. Um so

I follow people on Instagram who I like want to keep up with but I don't want them to see that I've watched their stories. So I'll watch it on someone else's phone.

What, like Mr. Toy Boys? Yeah. Or my best friend's phone. Do you realise how crazy it sounds? Yeah. But why do you follow someone if you don't like them? No, it's not that I don't like them. It's just like you can't unfollow them because then they might find out.

But then just mute their story and don't look at it at all. No, but I want to see what they're up to on the slide. But why? But I don't want them to see that I'm interested. Are you hearing yourself? Yeah. I told you, I'm well aware I'm the queen of petty. I'm really good at it.

Kristen, what have you done that's been quite petty? It wasn't me. It was actually some of my housemates that I live with. We all kind of grew up on farms and stuff, so none of us were vegetarians. But one of our housemates, I don't know if it was like out of spite, but she made a vegetarian meal. So while dinner was cooking, the two boys I live with went out,

bought McDonald's, and came back and ate it at the dinner table with us. What did she make? What was the vegetarian meal she made? I think it was just like a veggie stew. It was like winter. We lived in Palmerston North. Oh, a veggie stew. What part of a veggie stew is chewy?

You've got to have a chewy party. A veggie stew would just be all mushy, wouldn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was basically mushy. So then you can imagine how we were thinking, why did we not all just give McDonald's? Very petty, but I like it. Thanks, you're cool.

Jordan, what happened? This was another flatting situation that got petty? Yeah, man. We had a flatmate. We used to do his washing every week for him, and we'd expect a block of chocolate and just a singular beer at the end of the week. Okay, well, that's a good payment for the weekly washing. Capitalism, baby.

Yeah. Yeah, well, he decided not to give us the beer or the chocolate because he thought he didn't have to. So we never done his washing for him and he wasn't allowed to use our machine. Oh, you blocked the machine. Yeah, man. Okay, yeah, fair call. Well, he didn't pay up.

No, he went't pay up. No, he went to the dry cleaners for about three weeks before he finally decided it was just cheaper to buy beer and chocolate. Yeah, wow. Wow, you basically put a sanction, put a restricted trade sanction. A tariff. A tariff, yeah. You trumped them. All right, Kate.

Kate, what got petty? So I had this really amazing dress that I just bought, brand new expensive dress, and my little sister had asked to borrow it for a party. And I said, no, it's brand new. I don't want you to ruin it. Yeah, fair enough. Went out for the day, came back home,

and she'd stolen every single item from my wardrobe and taken all my clothing, including my underwear, socks, everything, and hid it all at her boyfriend's house at the time. And I absolutely lost it. There was like one single socket left in my drawer. Oh my God. Good from her, good from her. Did you get mum and dad involved,

the International Police Service? I'd have been like, ma'am. Oh yeah, yeah, I got dad involved straight away. I was so livid. I couldn't stand it. Did Dad say something along the lines of I've got better things to do than to deal with this sort of shit and have a go at everybody? Yeah, pretty much.

Good Dad. He's done well. He thinks he called Kate some texts. I lived with a girl who objected to how much toilet paper our flat was going through so she kept it in her room and if you wanted toilet paper you had to go in and tell her you needed

to roll the toilet paper. It was the most ridiculous thing in the world. You had toilet paper rations? Yeah. That's ridiculous. Wow. Yep.

I wonder what she does for a job now. Accountant. It's always accountants that do that. I was going to say politician or something. Oh yeah.

Totally. It could be an accountant as well. Somebody said I was driving at 102 kilometres an hour and someone was tailgating me. So I just tapped my brakes every now and then

and then we got to a passing lane and I was like you know what, not today. You've tailgated me. So I kept the exact same speed as them so they couldn't get past me in the passing lane and then put my foot down just as I got to the end of it. I love doing that. Or they go into another lane so you box them in with the other person in the other lane. People do that.

Oh God, I'm so petty. Yeah. Oh, that's good stuff though. Somebody said, I lived with a complete pig in London for about a year. We shared a bathroom. He never cleaned it. He hardly ever flushed the toilet. He never bought toilet paper or cleaning products.

So I started taking the toilet paper in and out with me. I'm like, if he's not paying for it, he's not getting it. It backfired as I heard him saying to another flatmate that he'd discovered a new thing where you could go straight from using the toilet into the shower. Oh, grim. Suffice to say, from that day on, I continued to buy toilet paper

For the both of us Oh that's grim That's something else My brothers This is another bathroom I'm growing up I shared a bathroom With my brothers

They never turned the lights off So this is weird This seems like That's a parent thing To be angry At the light I was being on So I decided If they didn't know

How to use them They didn't deserve them And I unscrewed Every light bulb In the bathroom But when I used The same bathroom Every morning I'd put the bulbs in was being on. So I decided if they didn't know how to use them, they didn't deserve them. And I unscrewed every light bulb in the bathroom. But when I used the same bathroom every morning, I'd put the bulbs in.

I would shower and then unscrew the bulbs and hide them. Oh, my God. That's next level pity. I love it. You'd have to get a little step later to get the bulb in. Yeah. That was like my brother. He thought he was the third parent of the family. So so would often take it upon himself to just make up rules

and try to rule the roost. But yeah, ultimate in pettiness. What a great podcast so far, wouldn't you agree, Fletch? Yes. And it's all thanks to Spark. Get one gig of bonus data with the Spark U25 pack. Now, back to the podcast. Fletch, this is right in your wheelhouse.

I'm imagining you're going to be sent this story a lot. Even though you are, again, catless in your life. I know, yeah. But a woman has carried a cat in a backpack up Mount Whanganui. I did get tagged in this already. Yesterday I saw this story online. Because I remember when these backpacks were

sort of invented and online you were getting tagged in them a whole lot. So it's like a backpack and it's got like a giant clear plastic, like a fishbowl almost on the side of it. The front of it is just a plastic capsule. Yeah, so the cat can look out and there are air holes so it can breathe.

But I feel like they were invented in Japan. It's got a very Japanese feel to it, doesn't it? Most of the initial postings on the internet seem to have been Japanese of origin. But someone's got one in New Zealand and it's just hit the news. Yeah, because they put their white cat. What kind of cat is this?

A white one? Yeah, it's a white cat. Yeah, it's a flash white one. Oh, it's a flash. A Persian? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I think you're right, actually. Is that a Persian?

Oh, that's beautiful. No, it looks like a Bur, actually. Is that a Persian? Oh, that's beautiful. No, it looks like a Burmese. Is it a long-haired Burmese? Burmese or a Persian, maybe. What about a Burmese? A Burmese. A Burjiman. A Burjiman.

Yeah, that could be a Burjiman. So the Burjiman got put in the bag and walked up the mount. I mean, temperatures have been lower lately, but you wouldn't do this in the height of summer. Oh, no. I wouldn't imagine. They would absolutely cook your cat. Cook your cat.

So, yeah, a woman walking up the mountain at the same time, Catherine, she took a photo, sent it to her daughter. The daughter puts it online. It goes pretty crazy about this woman who's walking her cat up the mountain in a plastic box, effectively. Yeah. I thought there would have been more outrage. I don't think it's very cool.

Like, maybe a dog would be into it, because a dog likes companionship. But, like, locking your cat into... I know it's got breathing holes, but it doesn't want to be there. Like, cats like boxes, but get a cat harness. You can get a harness for your cat, but it wouldn't want to walk up the mount. No. You end up

carrying it. And then also, like, you're jamming your cat into a box to take it to the vet that I understand. Oh they hate that. Don't jam it into something small just for your pleasure. To walk it up the... My favourite part of this whole story was I read an article, I think

someone, I don't know if it was that article you're reading, I saw it because everyone posted this last night, said that she ran into trampers while on the mount. You don't call people going up the mount aren't tramping. No. That's a day walk.

No, it's not even a day walk. It's like an hour of your time. That's not a tramp. It's like go on like a multi-day tramp where you have to stay overnight somewhere. That's tramping. No, but what constitutes a tramp? That's like a hard walk. Does it have to be? No, because you don't have to go overnight to constitutes a tramp? That's like a pack, a hard walk. Does it have to be...

No, because you don't have to go overnight to do a tramp. It's not tramping. It's basically a road up there, Megan. Don't be mean. You'd call it a day hike at absolute max. Are you on my side with this one? Yeah, but what would you call them? Hikers.

Fellow climbers. I'd call them climbers. No, they're not climbing, though. Walkers. Fellow walkers. Fellow traversers. To tramp is to walk heavily or noisily. There you go.

That's not a definition of tramping. Walking in the bush, walking in the bush. I don't know why I haven't seen any native birds. If you heard me going up there, I'd be like, this is so hot. I'd complain the whole way. That's noisily. I'd tramp up the stairs at work, then I'm like, why are they so steep? It's a good season for TV because Handmaid's Tale is back,

dropping three episodes at once, right? Tomorrow, yeah. Tomorrow, other things that are happening. Chernobyl, the final of that limited run series, which was five episodes, was on last night. So good. It's available. We've been watching it on Neon.

Phenomenal. And now the highest ranked TV show in internet movie database history. So what does that mean? It means... Who's doing that? So, users. Right doing that? So users. Right. Critics and users.

Anybody can cast a vote in IMDB. Do you want the top 10 all-time TV shows ever? There's some great TV shows. Actually, I'm going to start at 11 because Rick and Morty's 11. That's back in November this year.

Blue Planet 2 is 10. Do you say Cosmos or Cosmos? Cosmo. Cosmo. Cosmos or Cosmos? Cosmo. Cosmo. Cosmos. Cosmos. Nine. Our Planet 8, The Wire.

Oh, so good. Seven. Game of Thrones, six. Breaking Bad, five. Planet Earth, four. Band of Brothers, so good. That's at three. Planet Earth 2 is number two with 9.5

and with the 9.6 out of 10 rating, Chernobyl. Yep. So good. So good. We're trying to work out why. Yeah, because it is a little bit surprising, right? Yeah. But then when you put together all the factors

of what makes a great TV show, it's got it all. The acting is top. Jared Harris. He's going to win an Emmy for that. And that Skarsgård. He's the dad. Oh, the dad. His dad's Skarsgård.

Yeah, and heaps of British people who don't even attend Russian accents. Because I thought that would have cost them in the ranking. But no, that's good. And the cinematography is amazing. They spared no expense getting authentic vehicles. Everything is made to look exactly like it was. Clothes, the control room of the nuclear power plant in 1986. Like, everything is just absolutely perfect.

People in Russia and the Ukraine are just like, wow. You nailed it. You've done so well. You can't explain it, it though because if you try and sell it to someone it feels like a hard sell but once you watch it you're hooked you're in and each episode's horrendous for a different reason like each episode has this overarching just feeling of doom well it was a nuclear meltdown so you can see why but yeah for different reasons every every episode and i was like how are they going to do this in the fifth episode?

Because they'd covered so many awful types of, but it was, yeah, it was all about sort of like lies versus the truth. And it was, you had it as a fact of the day, but the guy that created this had just like research or just started reading about it and has spent like the last few years of his life dedicated to this program. He also wrote Hangover, the Hangover movies, two and three and one of the scary movies.

And the guy who directed it did a Madonna music video. Yeah. It's so incredible. There's actually a podcast for each episode explaining why they did certain things. And things they filmed that didn't end up making the final cut and stuff. It's really good. But now that that's gone

you need a new show to fill the void. And you've watched the first few episodes of... I've seen the first When They See Us, is that what it's called? Yeah. The first three. I'm going to watch the other one on the plane today. It is, it's about the Central Park Five. So for those that don't know, I think it was 1989. 1989. There was an

attack and a rape on a woman who was running through Central Park in New York. And there was, they dealt with it pretty quickly. They got DNA and everything. Well. But then the, but then they came out, they apprehended these five people. They're like, these are the young African-American dudes responsible for it. Totally race-based.

Oh, they just had to happen to be in the park. Yeah. They were just, and that one of them was 14. The DNA didn't match at all, but they were like, well, the DNA is inconclusive, even though it wasn't. Yeah. And one of them was 14. The DNA didn't match at all, but they were like, well, the DNA's inconclusive, even though it wasn't. Yeah. And these guys went to prison for between like five and 15 years. And then in 2002, a convicted murder, serial rapist guy in prison was like, I actually did that.

I did that. And the DNA matched and tied him to it. And yeah, these guys had been in prison for like 15 years doing nothing wrong. They actually play actual footage of Donald Trump in like 1989 or 1990. He took out a full page ad calling for the death penalty and

I think still to this day hasn't even really apologised for what he said. No, it's not. He doesn't apologise. But it's actually really hard to watch. Wow. But it's really well done. So if it's not. He doesn't apologise. But it's actually really hard to watch. Wow. But it's really well done. So if you need a new show on Netflix.

What's it called? When They See Us. When They See Us. Okay. Yep. And Chernobyl is on Neon. And then Handmaid's Tale is coming out on Lightbox. So get them all. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. There is a house for sale in Wellington. It's a renovated villa, and that might be right up your alley. Right. You might be right into that. But if it's not, it could win you over because it's got its own flying fox. Yes! I know.

To where? It's got like a sauna. What? Ooh la la. It's got like an outdoor fireplace, but it's got its own flying fox. Where does it go to? Does it go down into water? No.

Into the swimming pool? No. Oh my God. It's just a kid's, it's just quite an extensive playground. It's like a playground that you would see at a council playground. Like there's a climbing wall. Like the Margaret Mayhew playground. Yeah, there's like rope climb thing, neck climb, and a flying fox.

We didn't even have a trampoline. No, neither. You ever tried to make your own flying fox? Nah. Oh, we tried and failed. Many times. Really? Many times.

That seems dangerous. We had the little pulley wheel thing. Oh, right. From something else. I'm imagining from pulley, but you'd have to feed the rope or the wire through that before you attached it to the end. And of course, the deal, the hardest part was getting it tight enough.

And you'd always probably send Michelle, your younger sister, down first, wouldn't you? Nah, it was one of those weird ones where every time we were so sure of our design, there was almost a fight over who got to go first. Oh, really? Yeah. Amateurs.

It's only your last one run. No, yeah, well, you jump on it. My brother jumped on it once, and his weight just plonked it, and it just pulled off straight off the wall behind him, and he just plummeted. But it tries him out. But this looks like a professional flying fox. I know this is definitely a professional flying fox.

Oh, my God. The thing is, if you had this at your house, you would have all your friends, or you'd have everyone over. You'd win everybody. I understand now why my parents didn't ever engage us in this flying fox dream. They didn't want other people's kids around. Because my parents, like I've said before, they didn't know how to deal with kids if you weren't allowed to yell at them or smack them.

And so imagine the smackings that you would have had to have dealt out for a flying fox. Yeah. It would have been all sorts of smackings. You think that's cool? I met a guy yesterday, a cool, my new friend, I've told everybody about. Great guy. He doesn't know we're friends yet, but we're definitely friends. Is he saying that you're his friend?

I don't know. I hope so. Okay. Oh, my gosh. I hope he said to somebody, I've got a new adult friend. When you say adult friend, it makes it weird. Just say friend. No, because you don't make friends when you're an adult.

Do you? You have workmates and you might grow to like them on a personal level, but you don't make adult friends. Have you grown to like us? You're almost there. On a personal level? Yeah, you get in there. You get in there. Well, we were invited to your wedding.

Yeah, I know, but that was just a numbers thing. You can't have an empty wedding. So I walk into his house and the first thing I notice is there's a trap door in the lounge. Oh my God. This is another Vaughn. Why were you at this man's house? I was having some photos taken.

Were you naked? Did he message you on Tinder and said, I could take you some model shots? Like, what happened here? Yes. Did you get naked before or after you went

down the trapdoor? Both and during. You've made friends with a man with a trapdoor that wants to take photos of you in his house. He didn't want to take photos of me. Somebody else said he had to. Oh, my gosh. No. So I walk in and the first thing I notice, I'm like, where does this go?

It's a trapdoor. Yeah. Trapdoors are like, I want a trapdoor so badly. And I'd keep mine under a rug. Yeah, I would hide a trapdoor. Trapdoors are like I want a trapdoor so badly and I'd keep mine under a rug. Yeah, I would hide a trapdoor. So he says that's my wine cellar and I'm immediately like, I gotta see this

and he's like, after the photos, I'm like I'll do my best to behave. So afterwards I was like, can we look down there now? And he's like absolutely. You've done your glamour shots. Done the glamour shots. I've got the months from January through October. I'm going to go back for November, December.

Yeah. I was getting tired. And we go down and there's a wine cellar. He built his own wine cellar. He apparently just said, I want a wine cellar. And his wife was like, oh, yeah. And then he pulled up the floorboards in the lounge and just dug his own wine cellar

does he want you telling everyone that he just did that I don't know but he used like a jackhammer because you're disallowed to do that no it was so

it was so good oh my gosh this literally just sounds like you in a few years I know and I said to him why like what

you know kicks out of this? He's like, well, I've got two daughters, and when you're the only guy in the family, you need a project and a loan. And I was like, are you me from the music? I've got new numbers. Does he have a beard? Yes.

But he had a lovely thick head of hair, so unless I toupee it up or get something done, not me. Is that right? But, oh, and I went home and I said to Sade, dangerous things happened. Yeah. I've seen a trap door. I've seen a trap door,

and I've seen a man who made his own wine cellar. And she went, ah. Because you remember, like, in our last place, it was my dream to build a trap door in a wine cellar. Or it was just a trapdoor in an underground bunker, but there can be wine down there. We're going to get a phone call from Sade being like, it's happened, Vaughn's...

Vaughn's digging a hole. No, Vaughn's been buried alive. He's attempting to. Yeah, he Googled fairly limited stuff on how to dig a wine cellar before he just started digging a massive hole. But I'd like to know, when you... Maybe this is just now, or maybe when you were a kid,

what was the coolest thing your friend had at their house? We had a friend at school and his parents ran a dairy. So he had a dairy at his house and they lived above it. And so we'd just go over and have lollies. Dollar mixtures, just all the time. Yeah.

Did they give them to you for free? Or did you have to bring $2? Just take them. Just take them. Just take them. Hey, I've always, and I don't know why, but whenever there's a dairy with a house above it, I've always wanted to look in the house to see what it's like. It's just a flat above a dairy or a house. I know, but I've always wanted to like walk in.

Do they get sick of the bing dong? Well, I guess that's their life, isn't it? The bing dong. Yeah. That's so annoying. But you're right. Like if your friend had something cool like a swimming pool. I had a soda stream. That's so annoying. But you're right. Like if your friend had something cool

like a swimming pool or a tree hut even a soda stream. But that was like we were like one of the only people who had a soda stream and then like

I started to feel like a bit like a celebrity. I was like this is how celebrities feel. They're just using me for my soda stream. Would your mum let them put flavouring in?

Yeah. She supervised the flavouring though. How rich were you? She supervised. Did you have multiple let them put flavouring in? Yeah. She supervised the flavouring, though. How rich were you, eh? She supervised. Did you have multiple flavourings or just like one? Yeah, multiple flavourings. That's rich.

Oh, wow. But then, so did you feel like you were being used, though? A little bit, but I was okay with it because... You had friends. I had friends. So, all right. Some people attract friends with their personality and some attract them with their mum and dad's SodaStream machine.

That's absolutely fine. Well, you can with what you've got. Yeah, exactly. All right, well, let's take some calls. 0800 DARS at M. You can text 9696. What did your friend have growing up at their house that was super cool? Yeah, what was the coolest thing?

Or maybe you were like Megan and people used you for the soda stream or the swimming pool or the spa. Where are those friends now? I've still got a SodaStream. We're talking about what your friends had when you were growing up that was the coolest thing

at their house that maybe drew in all the neighbourhood kids. Like Megan's SodaStream machine. Yeah. And it's weird that that was like a sign that you were

ooh la la ray at SodaStream. Yeah. Why? Because everybody else just drank water. Yeah. So it's just like,

or just bought fizzy. And multiple flavours, dog. We look back on it now. Big dog over here with multiple flavours. Big dog and, you know, quite a popular point, but it was the start of an epidemic of kids with rotting teeth and obesity,

really, wasn't it? Oh, okay. Like, all the other parents are like, oh, damn it, I've got a feeling this is where we all start going downhill. Yeah. So we want to know what you had, maybe growing up,

or what your friends had that always got people around, the coolest stuff that you had at your house. Georgie, was this your house or someone's, one of your friends? Morning, guys. Morning. This was in my childhood home. Okay. Yeah.

So we had, from me and my sister's bathroom upstairs, we had a laundry chute. Oh, my God. Yeah. So we threw, you know, our towels and all our dirty spots there and everything down the laundry chute, and it magically just turned up in the laundry. That was, one of my friends had one of these,

and it, like, you could put a basket at the bottom of the chute, and it would all just magically end up in the basket. That was, one of my friends had one of these, and you could put a basket at the bottom of the shirt, and it would all just magically end up in the basket. Like, that was good stuff. Was it enough to actually go down? Funny you ask. So it had like a kink halfway down, so you couldn't really see to the bottom. So, yeah, my cousin did try to get down at once,

but it was, it was a little bit narrow. So would your friends come over just to use the laundry shirt? Would they be like, hey, do you have an old towel? I just want to put it down the shirt? And they would be like, oh, have you got any dirty things? Let's throw it down. It's weird. I remember doing the exact same thing in my mate's place.

What can we chuck down here? He's like, I don't know, nothing. Don't worry about it. I'm like, no, but there must be something dirty around here. So fancy. A whole bunch of clean stuff ended up going just down all the time. Mum's like, I sure I just washed this last week, you know? Mum is filthy.

God damn, you're running a house around here or what? Hey, thanks for your call, Georgie. Dave, what did your friend have growing up that was called his house? Growing up in Wales, my friend of mine, his father had a working tank. Wow. And would you be allowed to go around and use it? It takes us for spins around the paddock and once or twice we might have sat in the controls.

It was awesome. Where did they go? Awesome. How did they get a tank? Why was there a tank? Where'd it come from? They were from a military background in the UK and he was just a collector of old Warth come from? They were from a military background in the UK and he

was just a collector of old war sort of memorabilia and stuff like that. That's better than a soda stream, isn't it? But if it's a tank, what are the soda stream on board? Oh, yes! Move turret to 360 and fire at will and

three pumps. Ah, yeah, SodaStream ready, baby. Let's kill some dudes. Hey, thanks. You can call Dave, ask him text messages. Somebody said,

my grandparents have a hidden room in the attic. Attic. Their house is two storey but you go through a secret door in the upstairs hallway, you push a wooden panel, the door opens and it goes up some tiny stairs

to a massive room in the roof. I know. I'm 28 and when I visit, I still ask if I can sleep in that room. It's so legit. Were they wanting to hide from the Nazis? It sounds very Frank, doesn't it? It does. Hannah, what was cool at your house or your friend's house?

My parents had two pokey machines in our garage. What, like old pokey machines? Yeah, like the ones that used to put the 5 cent and the 20 cent coins in. And then crank the arm down? Yep. Wow. The full lot. And we used to take all our pocket money.

So did they have the key to open it up? Or did you actually have to win your money back? Oh, mum. Mum was running a mini casino in the garage. Yep. Stealing all your pocket money. Thanks, Hannah. I'm skimming off the top of the pokies.

Some other text messages in. Somebody said, my friends moved into a house and their house had a panic room. So we'd constantly be playing there. But the thing is, when you went into the panic room and cranked the big lock shut on the indoor of the panic room, it automatically called the police. So the parents had to have that disconnected after five police phone calls in one day. Soon after they moved in. Who had that house before them?

Like they're hiding something, aren't they? Yeah, drug dealers. I was one of my first friends to get SingStar on PlayStation 2. Great jam sessions to Jamelia Superstar at my place after school. Always a competition. Is that still a thing, SingStar? SingStar, I don't know. I think so.

You think so? I once dated a girl and her parents had Sky Television, a flat screen TV and surround sound. It was just like going to the movies. Everybody was always around there. That was when everyone had those big, huge box TVs. Yeah, big CRTs. Oh, fancy.

Somebody said it didn't take much to impress me. My mate was allowed raspberry raro. So I was around there all the time. We didn't get raspberry raro at home. Like full colour or colour free? Because I don't care what anyone sees. Colour free did not taste the same. No it didn't it didn't Megan. I completely agree with you. Yeah we got colour free. Yeah. Makes you

too hyper. My parents owned a pub. My mates parents owned a pub. We'd just go there and play pool all the time. It was quite cool to hang out at a pub after school. I mean not too many people could say that. And one of my friends lived next to the Waikato River and had a massive rope swing down and over the gully.

So that was always super exciting. One kid did fall off and get hospitalised though and that was the end of that for a little while. Just a little while. Just a little while. Back on the swing now. We'll tie that rope around the tree for just a little bit until this all blows over and then we'll get back out there and break some more wrists.

So there you go. 8.20. House looked boring growing up. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Fact of the day is about your teeth. Okay. What about them?

Well, the enamel on your teeth, that's the white bit on everybody looking at their teeth right now. Fletch and Megan are both looking at their teeth. It's about your teeth. But you always forget her in your mouth until someone says something about your teeth. And then for some reason you've got to check they're still there with your tongue. You're like, yeah, I've got them all.

All still there. You just had a thing for your tooth. You all got to go back for a porcelain. Show me your thing. Which one is it? That's a temporary one at the moment. Because when you were 20, what happened? They said, well, yes, I went to the dentist and he's like,

you can either have a root canal and it's like $1800 or when you're 20 when I was 20 like yeah on radio radio minimum wage which is actually

less than minimum wage um because you get free sausages with it yeah free you get free sausages they take into account before they pay you

how much free stuff you've um eaten from around and just in Timberlake City so you know balanced out and that so he said

oh you can get a root canal for $1,800 or I can rip it out for $60. And that's a no-brainer. That's a real no-brainer. So I ripped it out and have regretted it ever since. But you couldn't see it. It's right near the back. But now I've got to get one put in because all my teeth have moved.

So you knew the tooth that they're going to put in the gap where you had the tooth ripped out isn't going to be anchored in your jaw, right? It's going to be on the tooth. Like the clip-on on the side of the harbour bridge, it's going to be holding onto the tooth next door. Yeah, pretty much. That's crazy. Nuts, eh? So what's it holding on

with? I don't know. They just glue it on. Because they glue the temporary one in and then they rip it off. And then they glue the other one back in and it sits on your tooth. It's like a crown. Isn't that what you've had for like 10 years, Warren? No, he was a root canal. Right.

No, but you were rocking a temporary crown for like five years, weren't you? I'm still rocking it now. Eight years later. Nine. They're coming up nine. Happy birthday. The crown that I got the other week, he literally got a sharp hook thing and ripped it straight off.

Yeah, this thing's broken in half. It's not... One! Oh my god. Like, this has been in my mouth longer than I've had children, guys. I can't get rid of it now. It's one of the kids. When is the last time you went to the dentist? Then. Oh my god. I went once on one of those grab one vouchers, but he said I needed all the stuff.

I was like, all right. I'll catch you later. You were like, I'm not, I'm not. Because that wasn't included. I said, oh, so that's included in the $69. And he's like, no. And I was like, all right, see you later. I'll see you later on.

But my teeth don't hurt. And when they do, I just. Why do you give me anxiety? I just, you're sensitive for a couple of weeks. You're sensitive. It's knowing to prevent, to stop tooth decay hurting. Yeah, yeah, just for a bit. It'll numb the pain. So anyway,

all this talk about teeth. They're all falling to bits, right? Yeah. So, actually, the primary material in your enamel, which is the top of the tooth, is harder than lobster shells and rhino horns. It's crystalline calcium phosphate.

And there's only one harder biomaterial in the world. Diamonds. No, biomaterials are like produced by coal. Imagine if you started like producing diamonds. Oh my God, I would be the most. But imagine if it was in like a really horrific way. Like kidney stones. Yeah. Oh, my God. I would be the most. But imagine if it was in like a really horrific way. Like kidney stones. Yes.

You've got to pass them out. Yes. Your kidney starts producing diamonds, so you've got to weed them out. But that cut, that would almost be cut on the way. I wouldn't know. That'd be horrible.

But it'd be worth it because it'd be millions of dollars. Then you get a diamond. Then someone would start farming me. You know, like a cow. Yeah. How awful. They'd have you in a little cage. You wouldn't be free range.

You'd be caged. Yeah. Hey. In a dark room. Maybe scoot off otherwise. Can't have the golden goose. Also, we can't have you laying diamonds in the grass.

We'll never find them. No. Oh, I hadn't thought of that. So obviously keeping Megan in a cage and farming her diamonds is much better. In a nappy. In a nappy.

How did we get down this dark path? With a catheter. Someone's just joined the show now and been like, where are we? Why are they plugging Megan in? Megan is producing diamonds. We're talking about teeth. And we're cage farming her. From my kidneys.

So there's one heart of biomaterial on earth and it's produced by a sea snail and it's what its teeth are made of. Whoa. Wait, a sea snail has teeth? Yeah. Goodness me. A sea snail is like a mollusk it'll like crawl on top of something and just like its teeth can get through all all a matter of things well it's the hardest biomaterial so unless we're second out of it yeah our teeth are second. Can we eliminate that snail and become number one? Hey if there's one thing humans can do, mate, it's eliminate a species. And you know, we might do it and not even mean to.

Yeah, that's true. So today's fact of the day is that your tooth enamel, even though you're rotting it and it's all melting away and you've got to go to the dentist all the time, is apparently the second hardest biomaterial in the world.
