Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Friday. Yay! Yeah, that's good. That's good stuff. Good bit of Friday.

Feel the Friday. Put on the Friday. What is that? Like pants. Like comfortable pants. No, that's not a thing. No, you don't want to put on the Friday? No. Put on your Fridays?

We'll just stick with Friday, I think. Yeah, Friday. Yeah, that works. It's established. It works, Vaughn. Friday flashback today. Yeah. After the break, after we had a couple of weeks off.

Megan, your pick today for Friday flashback. In charge of picking a banger at 8 o'clock that we might not have heard for a while. I've got nothing currently, but I've got a few hours. A couple of hours. Lazy. No, it's just, it's difficult, you know, to pick a banger. It's, yeah, because you're starting to run into the like, because the rule is it has to be at least 10 years, released 10 years ago.

So the 2008s, we've really got through the bangers of 2008 by this time of the year. Yeah. And so we really have to start putting a bit more effort in. Yeah. Right, all right, we've got to delve deeper. All right, you lot Listen up It's story time Three news headlines

For three stories That I've found Weird unusual Quirky news stories Headline one Old age pensioner Jailed for 999 calls Headline two

Were they lonely? There is an underlying Theme of loneliness In that story, yes, you'd say. Headline two, unusual road rage caught on camera. And headline three, rationing hits Britain. Those are the headlines. Rationing hits Britain? Yes.

But it's not World War II? It's not World War II, no. I know they're in the heat wave. Yeah. So what are they rationing? Ice blocks. Are they running out of something? No.

Okay. Not ice, not ice blocks. No, I think three. Yeah, I think so. Okay, well, we mentioned yesterday that we found out if it's over, what is it, in the office? 27, wasn't it? 27 or 28 degrees.

You get to go home. 27 degrees inside an office, yes. You get to go home. 27 degrees inside an office, yes. You get to go home. Ridiculous. Well, now, a lot of bars

and restaurants, Wetherspoons, if you've ever been to the UK. Love a Wetherspoons. They did their, what was it, which one was curry night?

That was really cheap. Shoes the night, curry night? What is that akin to, like a Lone Star? There is no akin to Wetherspoons. Oh, okay.

There is no akin to it. It's like, it's a pub. Yeah. And they do meals, but they do them cheap. And they've got every condiment you could ever imagine, like sauce-wise. Yeah. And mustard, anything.

And their beers, they have this board with the pubs around and what they're selling beers for, for the pint and they'll always beat it. It's like a stock market for beers and they'll always have the lowest prices. It's like Gatsby that app to find out where the cheapest gas is, except it's written on a board and they'll always beat it.

It's a wonderful place. The people that go there are interesting. Real cultural experience. Well, Wetherspoon's one of many places that have run out of beer and cider. And a lot of places are now rationing beer and cider as a shortage hits. And it's not just the beer or cider. It's also a CO2 shortage, which is the gas that they use in taps to carbonate the cider and beer that's on tap.

Wow. So they're having to ration a lot of that. What are they doing? Rationing it. Saying you can't have, maybe you can have one or this is all we've got and then it's gone kind of thing. Wow, like one beer each? Yeah. That's rough one beer each. Yeah. That's rough.

That's really rough. I guess they're just not used to this kind of demand and this kind of hot weather. And so people are packing out the pubs. Because I remember that whenever it's a hot summer, beer sales in New Zealand are always more. If it's a miserable summer, they don't sell as much alcohol. Right.

Which is pretty crazy, but understandable. They're blaming an international shortage of CO2. How is that a thing? Just go up into the sky, there's heaps. We're always being told about our CO2 emissions. There's heaps of it, I don't know. Apparently there's a supply issue in Europe. I don't know.

That's what I put in my soda stream, eh? Yes. Because I love my sparkly water. Yes. What's CO2? Is that carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide. Isn't that what soda stream, eh? Yes. Because I love my sparkly water. Yes. What's CO2? Is that carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide. Isn't that what we huff out?

Yes. So just bottle that. Oh, yeah, but that'd be stanky. Yeah, you don't want stanky breath in your soda stream. Someone's bad breath in my... Yeah, you want your, you know, your clean. Clean CO2. Yeah, chemically.

Yeah. Clean. Right. Not stanky breath CO2. Bear that in mind if you are heading to the UK in the next couple of days. Wow. Beer shortage. But then I'm sure the stuff in bottles, but then they've got to put that in the factories.

They've got to use CO2, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. Just rum and cokes then. But then your coke, if that's on the... Isn't there a country That drinks flat beer? Why?

Like a non-bubbly beer Yeah Non-carbonated Sounds disgusting There are non-carbonated beers This is why you need Your kombucha Because that's like

Are you not making Kombucha anymore? I ditch my kombucha I chuck the scobies In the insincorator And I didn't feel bad About blurring them to bits At all.

So you're done. I'm done. That was a gift from Soundkeeper Gary. The Scobie. What did you do with the Scobie? I put it down the insincorator and pressed the button. That was a living thing. Don't care. That was a living thing. Megan's right. That was an organism. Yeah, don't care. You just blitzed it.

I blitzed it. I'm shook. No regret. But it's like feeling bad about eating an apple. An apple's a living thing too. It's apple tree genitalia. You could have given it to someone. Pass on your scoby.

No, I had four of them. They wouldn't stop multiplying. That's how it works. Yuck, though. And it was gross. It was overrated. Don't bother. No health benefits either.

You try Mountain Dew now, that's delicious and bubbly. And for those following the FIFA Football World Cup, some games overnight? Some action overnight? Japan will not be... No, Japan is advancing through. Japan and Senegal were on the same amount of points,

which I was wondering then how you decide, apparently, who advances through from pool play. Apparently, Japan had less yellow cards than Senegal. So they go through. So that means they go through. Right. Even though Senegal lost to Colombia.

Yes. I saw some drunk Colombians walking home this morning on my way to work. They were wearing their Colombian football tops. They didn't look, like, happy. I was like, oh, they must have lost. But no, they won. They're probably just tired.

They have been awake and it is probably like four in the morning when you're walking to work. So I can understand that they're tired. 5am, yep. It's fair enough that they're a little bit tired. But I think my favourite thing to come out of the Football World Cup over the last couple of days is Mexico

loving Korea. Because when Korea beat Germany and Germany are out. Germany are gone now. First time since 1938 they haven't advanced past the first sort of pool play. That meant that that kept Mexico's chances alive. And boy, Mexicans were happy. They en masse went to the Korean embassy in Mexico

and made the Korean ambassador come out and do tequila shots with them. And there's video of it. They were loving Koreans. Amazing. They were walking around, picking them up, carrying them around at the World Cup as well, apparently. The feeling between those two teams was very jubilant. That's what's great about World Cups, bringing people together.

Until they lose. Until they lose. They hate each. And then some goalkeeper lets through a really easy goal and goes home and has a gun pulled on him. That's happened. We joke, but yeah. That's happened. Some countries that when their passion isn't positive

they can be a little misdirected. Yeah. Yeah. But we've still got a fair while to go, so if you're like me and you're not too worried about it, you don't have to start watching games just yet. So don't pretend to care just yet? Yeah, because it's a long game. It's like 45 minutes each way. Oh, and they do.

What annoys me about football is they get it down to the goal and then they have to go all the way back. Yeah, but that's exciting. No, it's not. No, I'm kind of in two minds about it because I don't like games like netball and basketball. Too many points get scored.

It's no big deal to score a point. Okay. But football, sometimes they don't score a point the whole time. Yeah, but I don't like that. No, I know. There needs to be a happy middle ground. Yeah. But that's like built up excitement the whole time. You just never like...

The tension. Yeah. I love, I'm loving these games because of how technology has advanced. They can tell you how many total kilometres a team ran during a game. Oh, how many? Phenomenal amounts. Like, in the hundreds of kilometres when they combine all of the

team together. Amazing post-game stats. Being a stats man. It's the VAR or something, isn't it? Well, no, that's the the ref, the video-assisted ref. They hate all that. But no, it's good because they're catching them out for doing their Hollywood, which is great. So I hate that about football, too.

They get kicked in the knee and they're like, oh, my head. Did you see the guy? He was on a yellow card and someone jumped up behind him to try to hit it with their head. Yeah. And he saw him there, so he pushed back into him to try to get this guy to flip over and hurt himself. But apparently halfway through, the guy's like, I'm on video and I've already got a yellow card.

So he pushes him and then catches him and flips him over and lands the guy back on his feet. And honestly, he would have won dancing with the stairs. It was amazing. So the Putney pusher, this was a case that we were kind of obsessed with last year. It was August that police released the footage and asked everybody in London if they knew this guy that pushed.

It was, the image, the video image was quite clear. Oh, very clear. Like, if that was your dad, if that was my dad, or someone I knew or worked with, I would 100% be like, that's them. And the clothes that they were wearing, yeah, everything. You just definitely know that person. By the shape of them, the skin tone, anything.

You wouldn't be identifying if you knew them. Running a line, but then veered into a woman and pushed her onto the road. A bus driver, quick thinking, swerved, avoided her. It was all caught on the bus CCTV. Just shocked everybody. Now, it happened in May last year, 2017, but police didn't publish the video until August

when they had no luck tracking this person down. Why didn't they get out there straight away? Because this guy could have been visiting. Because they did catch someone, but he was American, wasn't he? So they spoke and interviewed over 50 people that were identified as possibly the Putney Pusher. Right.

By anonymous members of the public. Said, I don't know for sure, but that looks like someone I work with or someone I know. They made no arrests and it is official. They have called off the search. They've said, we have been defeated. You are kidding.

Yeah, we won't catch this person. An update, we've finally caught them. You're right, though. It could have been a tourist. Then, like, no one. But they went worldwide. Even if they were a tourist, you'd be like, man, my friend was there at that time. So remember they caught someone and put his image all over the news and he's like, it's not me.

Yeah, he had an alibi. And then he proved he wasn't there. Wow. That's it. It's over with. We can no longer. I cannot rest. This has got to become a Netflix special.

I feel like when something becomes a Netflix special, that's when we get the answers. Brings out the armchair detectives. Yeah. That's when we'll get the answers. Yeah, follow up. Because if it was someone you knew, you'd 100% go to the police, right? You're like, yeah.

Well, the thing is, it just looks so deliberate. It doesn't look like he accidentally bumped into her. Yeah, he changed his course, and it's a shove that sends her backwards. You know, you'd stop and be like, I am so sorry. I wasn't concentrating. She really got decapitated. Yeah.

Well, the bus driver was a bit of a hero because he swerved so quickly. Did we ever find out, like, who she was? Like, was she a spy or something? Or a government official? Or someone that could have been better off dead? Was that a lead? Was that a lead?

It doesn't really talk about the woman. It just kind of... I know she's a victim, but, you know, I'm just thinking about spy movies. This is something that would happen in a spy movie. Yeah, you're thinking Putin. Yeah. Putin was the Putin of Russia.

Yeah. Maybe he's being protected because it was a hit on a spy. I feel like that would make kind of a difference to the story if she's someone, but obviously she's not. He's got a bit too much of a puku to be a spy. Just looking at his side profile. Hey. I mean, I shouldn't. Spies can be all shapes and sizes.

I know they need to be. Yeah, no, because that's why you don't think that person's a spy because they've got a little belly. A little pock pox. A little pock pox. He's out there running. Pock pox, international spy. Brilliant.

The key to my success as a spy was nobody thought a guy with a little puku could be a spy. Well, I proved them wrong. FEM. Crime stats that are worrying because they affect me. Okay. It's fine when it's happening somewhere else to someone else. Yeah, but when it's affecting you, it's scary.

So if you own a blunt umbrella, then you too have something to be concerned about. This is us. We all got sent blunt umbrellas once. This is the thing. They sent us them because they're very expensive. What are they retail for? Are they? Because people are always like,

I like your umbrella. A lot of people will say, I like your umbrella, and I'll be like, thank you. I've never had an umbrella, because I, before the Blunt umbrella, just had like a warehouse one, and if it was windy, it'd just get blown inside out.

These umbrellas are next level. They don't blow. They don't wreck. They're amazing. I had a Boston umbrella. Now, that was the official umbrella supplier to the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games. You've been...

Okay. Long-time listeners will know that Vaughan loved his umbrella. Because it had a carbon shaft. Yes, it did have a carbon shaft. And it was wonderful. Much like the blunt, it was actually, it would let, if the wind was blowing under it,

it would let the air through so it wouldn't pop out backwards. Yeah, right. It was a very, very clever design. I still have it. It's a wonderful umbrella. But it's no blunt umbrella. Well, I team it up with the blunt umbrella.

I'll go vice versa. So your one that you got sent from them is like a Karen Walker? Ooh la la. Yeah, Karen Walker design for blunt umbrella. How much do they sell for? They start at $75, I think, I can see on Trade Me. But they go up to like more than that. Because you can get the big, big ones for like $200.

Well, this one that got stolen, a man said he paid $170 for it. Yo! So what's happening at multiple places, but Papa Rich is being affected. This is a Malaysian restaurant in Aotea Square, is that people are going in and because of the inclement weather, a lot of people are carrying umbrellas around. Yeah. And here at work, we've got this flash little thing. You put your umbrella in and push a button and it wraps it in a bag.

Because otherwise people will slip over on the water and break their head. Yes, that's right. It's a safety concern. It's a safety concern. Yeah, and then what you do with it, it wraps it in plastic. And then when you're finished, you take the plastic off and throw it into the ocean. I believe so, yeah. I believe so.

So these blunt umbrellas, people are taking them into restaurants, put them in the umbrella holder, going and eating, coming back to get their umbrella and it's gone. People are stealing the high-end umbrellas, targeting blunt umbrellas because of the fine name they've made for themselves in the umbrella market. Because unless you name yours and you tag it, much like you would a great white shark that you're following in the

ocean, you're not going to know it's your umbrella that someone's walking around with, are you? My blunt resurfaced after diving to a depth of 300 metres, much like the great white shark I also tagged. Yeah, it's off the coast of Australia now. Yeah, in fact, I don't know my tag numbers mix. Yes, that was a great white shark, not a blunt

umbrella. But also, you're leaving a restaurant and you've got a $10 warehouse umbrella. That blew inside out on the way there. Yeah, yeah. And there's like an ooh-la-la one and no one's watching. I mean, I'm not saying I would, but people would. One hundy. Where is this happening?

Is it happening all over? Well, this is Auckland Central. There's these reports. Yeah, but there's, you know but this is an ongoing situation, apparently. But you can't, if you go into a restaurant, if you've got a big brolly, one that doesn't fold up, you can't put it under the table. I mean, you could, but then, yuck.

You're like, can you just put this behind the bar? It's very valuable. Excuse me, ma'am, I own a blunt umbrella and I need to find out where to put it. Could you check? I was going to say, yeah, I mean, you wouldn't leave it like your handbag. No. Or or you know

really expensive just by the front door just by the front door like a jacket they're going to have to do like a coat check for umbrellas they will

for the posh umbrellas for the posh umbrellas they'll be a bucket it just says povo umbrellas right what if you just got a nice umbrella

like a coat check a rebel sport umbrella for $15 povo bucket. Povo. Right, okay. And that's, I mean, that would be a high. You'd be like, oh, I need to coat check my umbrella.

And they'd be like, oh, no, you don't. Put it in the Povo bucket. You'd be like, ouch. Ouch. Ouch. Can't be eating here. Let's be honest, we'd all have those umbrellas if we didn't get sent one. If we hadn't been sent one.

Yeah, totally. The Top Six with Vaughn Smith. We'd all have those umbrellas if we didn't get sent one Yeah totally The Top 6 With Vaughn Smith Today's Top 6 deals with the fact that Shortland Street's getting a musical Like actually happening Actually a musical It's an interesting concept

I don't know exactly If it's kind of like Encompassing the entire history of Shortland Street and just some really crucial moments that became pop culture. They have to. Is it going to be like, you know how TV shows do

a musical episode? It's going to be an episode. No, it's like running. It's like running at a theatre. So you can go to a theatre. Wow, okay. It's a theatre. Production. So Lisa Chappell, theatre. Wow, okay. It's a theatre. We're done. So Lisa Chappell, who, correct me if I'm wrong, McLeod's daughters? Yeah.

She's playing Carrie Burton, who made the famous lines, you're not in Guatemala now, Dr. Ropata. Oh, so they're going back. Oh, yeah, they're going all the way back. And, you know, Elizabeth McRae, who played Marge Nelson, killed a short one street. Her daughter is playing her.

Okay. In the role. Her daughter, Catherine, I believe, was on Shortland Street as well at some stage. But I don't know what to expect. If we're going down the comical route or there's going to be some, like, serious bits to it. But the top six Shortland Street songs you might see in the Shortland Street musical. Number six, the Shortland Street theme song, Dubstep Remix. Okay.

It'll be a hot play. Bring it into the modern times. You reckon? Yep. It'll probably work, eh? Yep. Okay, that works for me. Okay.

Next, number five on the list of the top six Shortland Street songs you'll see is Shortland Street sung to the song of Sesame Street. Oh, yep. Hospital stay, everything's not okay. Friendly nurses banging, doctors there. Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? Copyright pending. Yeah, I don't know if they'd be able to use that.

They're owned by Disney now, the Muppets. Oh, yeah, okay. They probably, they fight legally. I just had an image of the Muppets doing Shortland Street on stage and singing that. That would have been great. That would be really good. Number four on the list is a cover of the Queen song

We Will Rock You, but it's We Are, We Are Doctors. We are, we are doctors. Doctors. Diagnosed campylobactors. Hard to rhyme with doctors. Hard to rhyme with doctors. We will shock you. Doctors. Doctors. Diagnose Campylobacter. Hard to rhyme with doctors. Hard to rhyme with doctors. We will shock you. Doctors.

Doctors. We will clear shock you. Yeah. Because you've got to say clear. So everyone gets their hands off. You need that song. Booge. Everyone get your hands off.

Number three is to the tune of Aqua's Dr. Jones. Remember Dr. Jones? Dr. Jones. Dr. Jones. Except it's Dr. Ropata. Harder because there's more syllables. Yeah, okay. Dr. Ropata, Dr. Ropata.

Calling Dr. Ropata, Dr. Ropata. Dr. Ropata, wake up now. Wake up now. Next, number two on the list is the, you know that song, Living Next Door to Alice? Alice. Who the F is Alice?

Except it's about Rangi. Because remember how Rangi Hiramaya just one day disappeared, went to Derry, never came back. And they were like, we found Rangi, he's dead in a ditch. The end, no more questions. He's like, oh, write me out like that. Yeah. So after 25 years of living next door to Rangi,

Rangi, whatever happened to Rangi? Number two. Right. And number one, it's original, and I don't want to write it for them. I'm not saying it has to be to any tune. But there needs to be a dealings. Someone needs to deal with the disappearance of Lionel Skiggins. New Zealand's number one unsolved mystery, in my opinion. Get Sensing Murder onto it

Yes In fact that would be great To trick the people In Sensing Murder Into investigating The disappearance of Lionel Skeggins Yes Using footage from the show

Brilliant Showing them the rocks That he got washed off While fishing And seeing if they Yeah They put out the Oh yes

Yes I'm picking something up here. In fact, you could use the Candyman, except change it to the Muffin Man. So it could be like... Oh! Who can go fishing? And get washed off the rocks. The Muffin Man can.

Lionel Skagans can. You've made me want to see this Shortland Street musical a lot more now. Thank you. Thank you. It's my PR company's first work. I hope it lives up to it this Shortland Street musical a lot more now. Thank you. Thank you. It's my PR company's first work. I hope it lives up to it. That is today's top six. As mentioned yesterday on the show,

my parents are overseas at the moment. They're in Canada? Well, they're actually in Alaska now. Oh, okay. Oh, wow. I was wrong yesterday when I said they were still in Canada, even though they were off the coast of Canada. They're cruising. Are they on a cruise? Yeah, they're doing the Alaskan cruise. Dad's always really wanted to do it,

and he always has to just go wherever Mum wants to go on holiday. So I think he's kind of said, I want to do this. Because she doesn't like going somewhere cold. She's like, why would you go anywhere cold? Even though it's summer, that's still not. I feel her, though. She's tropical island every single time. It's good that Ian's got his way once. He only put his foot down, and I like it.

After 40 years of marriage, he's finally put his foot down and I like it. After 40 years of marriage, he's finally put his foot down and said we're going to Alaska. So they're having a great time. He saw five moose yesterday. Mooses? Or moose? Moose. Because he said mooses and then I said that's not right. It's moose. Five moose.

It should be meese, like geese. We've talked about this. But it's definitely moose. It's like sheep. It be meese, like geese. Oh, we've talked about this. Yeah, okay. But it's definitely meese. Okay. It's like sheep. It's not sheeps or ship. Ship. One should be a sheep.

Ship. Multiple should be a sheep. Yeah. Right. So, but while they're away, I felt this was weird, but they stayed at our house the night before they left. Mm-hmm. And mum said, we're just going to leave dad's phone here if that's okay.

Oh. We're taking my phone, the who are way. Why do they get so scared about phones overseas? Like, no, I'll just turn it off. I won't touch it the whole time. I was like, you can leave it in the car. She's like, oh, no, no, no, no. Because if you could, every couple of days, just go in and check on it.

What are they expecting? And here's one thing. Dad got a new phone. It's a smartphone. Okay. It's like a good phone. But Dad's got the text on like senior citizen size. Yeah.

How crazy is that? Jesus, you have to scroll down to read an average text message. You're like scroll, scroll, scroll. Every text is full screen. So when you accidentally go into Microsoft Word and put the text size on 5,000. Yeah. You're like, whoa, got them up to eight pages. I've only written one word.

And they still pull it far away from their face to read it. When does that happen? When do we change font size? I don't know. 50? 60? Well, your dad's in his 60s. Okay.

Early 60s. So I've been checking it and I've been sending them text messages, letting them know what's happening, but I haven't been hearing back from them. Okay. So I'm their PA effectively. Mum said, let us know anything that comes through, any news, any missed calls. Right. But then they get missed calls from these weird numbers.

So I have to Google what the number was and find out who's called them to report this missed call. Right. So I'm just effectively running as their PA. And I've not heard from them. I've been sending them text messages letting them know that they've got a RSVP to a bloody cell count dinner in Matamata or something. A cell count dinner? What's a cell count?

That was the other thing. I had to research what the hell that was. If you're a dairy farmer and you've got good clean milk and no bacterial, that's what the cells are. They count the cells. If it's low enough, you get to go to a free dinner. It's like an incentive for having nice milk. Yeah, yeah, I think so.

And you get a certificate because Dad's got quite a few certificates. Somatic cell count, that's what it is. You see it every time I go to their house, it's on a certificate as you walk in the back. It's sort of a bit of this. It says congratulations. Yeah, yeah, yeah, super clear. 100% in the season

of the SCC something, something. Wow. But they're going to go to a free dinner, so I've had to tell them the dinner's while they're away. They're upset because that's a free dinner. Why are you googling the numbers? You need to call them back and say, sorry, Ian's on a payroll right now. No, because there's all those calls at the moment. Yeah, and if you call them

back, it charges you. So you don't call back and unknow a number. You have to Google it and try to find out why I've had to let them know that there's a sausage sizzle on Friday afternoon for the drench suppliers at RD1.

Everyone's putting on an event. If I got as many invitations on my social calendar as my dad was, I'd be absolutely exhausted. But he's like, oh, no, don't reply. Just don't tell them we're overseas. I don't want anyone to think I'm showing off

because this is their other big problem. They think going overseas is showing off. So they don't tell anyone they're going on these amazing holidays. No, no. So when they catch up and they're like, what have you been up to, Ian? He's like, oh, just. Saw five nurses, but I don't want to talk about it. Don't want to be rubbing anybody's faces.

But I'm playing PA while my parents are overseas. This is the first time I've done this. Yep. I don't know if my sister's been charged with this before or they've just not worried about it. Yeah. But I'd like to know from people listening this morning what you've been in charge of when your parents have gone overseas.

See, I feel like if I lived in New Plymouth where my parents live, I would definitely be in charge of like the cats, looking after the cats in the house. But I'm not, so my brother does that. Yeah, I'd like to think. So I don't have any kind of responsibilities. Does your brother go and live in their house while they're gone or does he just pop around daily and feed the cats? If they were both away, they'd probably pop around.

All the neighbours would if it was a weekend. But I don't really have any responsibilities when they're away. I've also been charged with if they get, like, abducted or die or whatever, I've got all the documentation to get their bodies home. Oh, I've got that as well. Yeah, I'm the executor. You're the executor too.

Yeah, but no, this is further to that. Like, I've got photocopies of passports. Oh, really? Just in case they die? Yeah. Oh, right, okay. Pretty grim chat to have with your mum. Now, look, we might die.

You know, your father's all obsessed with mooses and bears. He might get too close. This is what we want done, and this is our passports. You can get us home. We've got insurance, all this sort of thing. Trampled to death by moose or bears. They'll be like, how did Ian die? Oh, we don't want to talk about it.

We're on a lovely holiday with moose and bears, but we don't want to talk about it we're on a lovely holiday with moose and bears but we don't want to talk about it. He died showing off. Let's just leave it at that. We've all learnt a lesson from this. Don't be showing off.

Maybe you've been in charge of something quite big when the parents have gone away because parents would have businesses right? Oh god I'd hate to be in charge I got left in charge of the farm once

when they went away and it was disastrous. Well all I had to do was move cows every now and then, but I forgot. And then I'd hear, Moo! Moo! I'd be like, what?

Oh, Christ, you're hungry, aren't you? I'm not getting invited to that somatic cell count dinner. Now I go to move you. Shh, don't tell anybody. They're not going to tell anyone. Cows,'t tell anybody. They're not going to tell anyone. Cows, are they? No. Well, they can't.

Thankfully. They keep their damn mouth shut. Alright, 0800DARLSATM9696, what have you been in charge of when your parents have been away overseas? Maybe the family business, maybe the house, maybe some pets and you lost them.

Oh, someone wants to know if Mum and Dad will be going to the Kiwite Farm discussion group dinner on the 3rd of July. I'll tell you, save me the texting you back. They're not back by then, but I can't tell you where they are because that's showing off. FEM. We want to know what you've been in charge of when your parents have gone overseas. I'm acting PA for Ian and Christine Smith of Kiwite.

If anybody needs anything, I'll happily not return your call. I might text you back, though. Dad's phone's weird to use. As previously mentioned, the text is very, very large. Right. So we want to know what you've been left in charge of when your parents went overseas. Some text messages in on the subject.

Somebody says, my father-in-law trusted me to look after six sheep. Yeah. Oh, no. Sorry. 18 sheep. Okay. Does it no. Sorry. 18 sheep. Okay. Does it go down to six? Oh, no.

There was another number mentioned. Right. Six out of the 18 got stuck and drowned. They got through the fence that I put up. What? That you put up. Apparently my fault. Oh.

Well, it is your fault, isn't it? It was a rubbish fence. You can't put a standard cow fence up because the sheep will go right under it. Hey, you'll never be asked to do it again. Bonus. Bingo. And the dumb sheep have been whittled out of the sheep gene pool.

Sheep are only going to get smarter next generation thanks to the dumb ones not being alive anymore. Survival of the fittest. Em, what were you in charge of when the parents went away? So I was newly, I was a new mother, and mum and dad used to cruise off and go to Aussie when it was too cold, but obviously we're having the lambing season here,

so they'd take off and I'd, you know, go do the walks and walk around the paddocks just to make sure everything's okay and that the lambs were all good, which was quite full on and stressful. And I remember finding this one lamb whose mother had abandoned it, and because I was like this new good, which was quite full on and stressful. And I remember finding this one lamb whose mother had abandoned it. And because I was like this new mum, I got so upset about it

and took this little lamb into the house and went to the vet and got all this grade A colostrum to feed to this thing because I knew how good it would be for this lamb that died two days later. Oh! Oh, I didn't need that. I wanted a happy ending. Mate, you ended up eating the lamb a year and a half later. Not that it died like that. It didn't need that. I wanted a happy ending. A little heartbreak. Mate, you ended up eating the lamb a year and a half later. Not that it died like that.

It didn't die like that. So, yeah, that was what we used to have to do. So you were left in charge of an entire lambing season. Yeah, yeah. That's the one time of the year where farmers know they can't go away. It's the most intensive time. Exactly, eh? But it's hotter in Queensland, mate.

I think when you start thinking like that, it's really time you sold the farm. Hey, thanks, you call in. Some other text messages. My mum and dad were overseas. I was in charge of all of dad's guns. He made me go around and just do a stock take of all his guns. Every now and then?

What's the... What does dad do? I don't know. And where does he think they're going? Yeah, they're all right sitting there, aren't they? Yeah. And you just imagine the call to Mum and Dad. Yeah.

Hey, Mum. No, still there. Yep, still there. All the guns are there. I'd chuck out a... Now, I thought one of the guns was missing, but it was just hiding behind one of the other guns. While my parents are away,

I'm in charge of collecting the eggs and making sure their hens aren't picking on each other. What do you mean? Like hen bullying? Yeah. Is that a thing? Well, there's a pecking order. It's a literal thing. Yeah! That's the thing! Yeah, the thing about the pecking order. The pecking order. Yeah. You've got to separate them sometimes. Slowly

reintroduce the dominant one. But how do you know that one's being a bully? It's got less feathers. Yeah. One's got less feathers. Have marks. Get out of town. Because somebody else messaged us, and this must be a popular thing to make sure hens are being cared for in people's absence. My parents bought one of those wireless security cameras in the hen house so they could check

on the hens from overseas while they were away. Yeah. And they'd message me and say, there's a problem, and they'd tell me which hens needed to be separated and I don't have to go around and look after I'm just imagining some baby boomer on a P&O cruise getting some wifi in Port Villareal or wherever they're pulled into

so she can load up the phone to check on the security cam on the chicken heart. It costs her like $25 for 5 seconds of wifi monitoring Emma, what were you left in charge of when the parents were away? So I was quite young,

and Dad and my step-mom had gone away sailing, and I was in charge of the house for a while. I think some friends had stayed as well. Okay. And I had put this pillow into this cupboard, and it had flicked the switch on the switchboard but i had no idea and then um it had turned off this one powerpoint in the laundry and i had and then but i hadn't used and so the powerpoint controlled this uh one power the switch controlled this one powerpoint in

the laundry and it was the chest freezer. And I had no idea. And so, like, three weeks later, I found this whole chest freezer full of rotten meat. Oh, no. Pupsies. Dragged this freezer outside and cleaned out mountains of rotten meat. Oh, yuck.

I was like, man, the bloody freezer, like, it's broken. Yeah, I would have just been like, oh, mom, dad, there was a power cut. Yeah, something's gone wrong. Yeah, take it out with them. Your huckery freezer's broken. How do you think, Zia Kulima? Our parents, somebody said, I'm currently in this situation. My parents have sold the family home of 25 years

and have gone overseas on a cruise to celebrate. We have the job of moving their entire house load of contents this weekend. What? 25 years of crap. Of accumulated crap is gonna be a lot. I can't believe they were just like, hey, while we're gone, small favour. Move everything.

No. I was in charge of paying bills, dad's bills while he was away for a couple of months. He left a checkbook with his signature on it in blank amounts, no names. Oh no. I don't know how to work a checkbook, but I would figure it out. Google.

How to commit check fraud. I know you moved on to Sydney. I just write whatever I want on it. F.A.M. So the argument whether you should weigh yourself regularly is, I mean, you're like, well, it's not good to go on scales, but then if you're trying to lose weight, is it helpful?

There's been a study. But nothing rules more than getting on scales and having lost weight. You're like, yes. Yeah, that's a good. It feels good. But then when you get on a scale and you put on weight, you're like, what would you know, scale? Half of the All Blacks are obese according to you.

You always got something to say to it when you're overweight. I'm always like, muscle weight is more than fat. Muscle weight is more than fat. I've definitely just put muscle on this morning. When was this last calibrated? The gym's like, oh, it's certified. It's like, yeah, it resets itself every time someone gets off it. What? Ever. It's like, yeah, it resets itself every time someone gets off it. What?

Ever. Are you sure it's not someone else's fat still on here? Yeah. Should I be doing it on a hard surface or the carpet? Hard surface, right? Does the carpet make you heavier or lighter? I'm willing to weigh myself on the carpet. There's no difference.

No, you just get a misread on the carpet I'm happy with that As long as it's in my favour Yeah, you definitely can't weigh on the carpet Oh, can't you? No No, you do it on the hard surface So a study has been done

I've been weighing myself on the moon Is that okay? Perfectly fine Okay, great A study has been done It invited 162 adults to do a study Who were wanting to lose weight, and they weighed themselves daily. That daily is a bit much.

Good Lord, isn't it? I guess you're not going to change too much daily, though. It's not going to shock you. I did. I'm not emotionally breaking down. I've just got something in my throat. You weigh yourself because you gym every morning before the show, and you weigh yourself every day. And there's one there saying, yeah, I have a shower at the gym before I come to work, and I've just got something in my throat. You weigh yourself because you gym every morning before the show and you weigh yourself every day.

And there's one there saying, yeah, I have a shower at the gym before I come to work and I just jump on the scales and see. And what feels really good is that because I've changed my whole, this is a little bit TMI perhaps, but since we've been doing the mornings for a few years now, I just said to my body, we've got to start perping at night because I don't have time in the morning. Okay.

This is the thing. Yeah, so I just said, this is what we're doing now. So I perp at night. Okay. This is a thing. Yeah, so I just said, this is what we're doing now. So I poop at night. Right. Before I sleep. And when it's been a particularly big one, the next morning you're like, I think it's going to be a good weigh-in. So you've got to make the most of a big one.

I feel like that was definitely a KG. You're like, whew, that's got to whew. Now not to eat again, even though I've just got this vacuous feeling. I must, but I shan't. So these people weigh themselves every day. And the people that did so maintained or lost weight.

It helped them to lose weight. Because every choice you make with food, you are saying to yourself, well, I've got to weigh myself tomorrow or later today. Should I eat this? Yeah. Is this going to help me? But then is that an unhealthy thing? Is that a bad thing?

Because surely if you exercise and you're feeling great, it doesn't matter how much you weigh. It shouldn't, no. Oh yeah, totally. But if you're after a weight loss, you know, it's a goal. That was during year one. In the second year, men in the daily self-weighing group maintained their weight loss. And those in the control group who had now started daily weighing lost weight, while the women stayed the same.

So also it says in here, if anyone's had any trouble with, you know, like eating disorders, you don't weigh yourself. You don't weigh yourself at all. You just got to sort out. I wouldn't have thought. No, I definitely wouldn't have thought this applied to that group. It kind of leans towards men should weigh themselves and women maybe we shouldn't. Is it because I can't speak for you, but I quite like the accountability of it.

Like if you have a, because I'm a shocker, I just get to the weekend and I'm just like, it's time. I've done it. I've behaved'm just like, it's time. I've behaved myself five days. It's time to blow out for two. And then on Monday, you need that accountability to snap you back into a bit of routine for the week. Well, actually, that works. It is the accountability. That's what they said. But it works better for men because women have hormone and water and everything.

So you could one day be more heavy. Always go for a big wheeze before you weigh yourself. It's water retention though. You can't just wheeze out. Give yourself a squeeze and a wheeze before you. One day, depending on the time of the month, how much water you're retaining, you could be two kgs heavier

and it can really throw you off. But it's a trend, right? Women should weigh themselves less often, like weekly or... At the same time every week. Yeah, or even monthly. But men are fine to do it daily and it can help you lose weight.

I'm happy with that. Then you're like, did I do it last time? You do whatever works for you. Exactly. If it doesn't make you feel comfortable and happy, don't weigh yourself. Yeah.

Personally, I just need the accountability of it to be like, Vaughn, you've been a naughty little pud-puds over the weekend. It's time to wind it in, champ. Yeah, you've got to stay healthy. And if you haven't jumped on a scale for like years and then suddenly you're like, oh, I didn't know I weighed that much.

I remember a shocking... Have you ever gone for a bungee jump or a skydive? No. Or got on a little plane or a helicopter? You write your weight on your hand, you're like, no. No, tourist operators now have come up with codes for different weight classes so you don't have to walk around holding your hand over your other hand looking like an old lady.

If you get an F in red, what does that mean? You're F'd. You're F'd or the bungee cord's F'd or the helicopter's F'd. Somebody's effed. There is a study that's been done. It's a report from the public health in England. Right. So this is England stats, but I mean, we can relate it to here.

We come from there, don't we? Yeah, some of us. Some of us. And it has studied women, purely women and their sexual activity. So basically it's whether their needs are being met and when they've had

their best sexual times of their lives. Okay. So would you like the most satisfied or least satisfied? I've got age parameters. Who are the most satisfied? So the most satisfied are those aged between 55 and 64 with women

having the best sex of their lives at the age of 66. 66! Well, we know what born parents are doing on the cruise of Alaska. They're not even that old yet. So the best is yet to come. Learning to get good at it

and then at 66. Wow. So men are slow learners? Is that what we can take from this? Maybe. I don't know. Or maybe women just over time drop their expectations significantly. They get to 66, they're like, look, anything's going to be alright. Yeah.

So according to this UK sex survey, women between the age of 24 and 35 are the least satisfied with their sex lives. Caitlin, that's you. You're in that age bracket. So is Megan. I don't want to know about Megan. She'll start talking about things.

No, I'm fine. I think you know that I'm like not very happy with the non-existent sex life. So, yeah, that's true. No, but of the... Oh, okay. How...

Yeah, okay. Do we want to ask each other? Is it expectations? Is it that sort of age groups being exposed to... No, but I think you know if it's satisfactory or not. It doesn't have to be, like, weird or different or kinky. No, no, no, no, no, no. But I'm saying it's the or not. It doesn't have to be like weird or different or kinky. No, no, no, no, no, no. But I'm saying it's the lack of satisfaction

because you believe that it should be something that, you know, is too much. I think there's an easy parameter as to whether you can say it's satisfactory or not. What is it? What's the parameter? Do you get to home base or not? What's home base?

I'm beating around the bush. Well, that's probably why you're not getting there. If you're going around it, it's right in the middle, isn't it? Okay, that's interesting. What about in that age group between that? Yeah, I guess they're next. Does it get better for them?

I don't know, but it says... On the way to it being great. Overall, out of all of the women surveyed, 42% didn't feel their sexual needs were being met. So almost half. But this is why rest times are out of control. Hot beds for STIs.

66 is a bit young though for a rest time. It is, yeah, but I'm just saying it must get worse. They haven't delved into those stats, but it must get worse. But you hear theved into those stats, but it must get worse. But you hear the stories, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, you do.

Or it goes back the other way and they go into these rest homes. They're like, well, it was so great 15, 20 years ago. Yeah. I'm going to try to recapture that from when I was 66. And you just lose your inhibitions, right? Yeah. Is that something to do with it? Just like, oh, well.

Yeah, and your memory. You're like, did I sleep with Keith yet? Can't remember. Cyril, come here. I think it was good. Yeah, maybe it was. Better try again. With Barry. See, Barry's are getting a lot on the show this morning. Barry's are getting a lot. Okay.

In our house, we've got a bit of a tradition. When we're having dinner, we talk about our favourite parts of the day. Everyone has to have a highlight. And if you've had a bad part having dinner, we talk about our favourite parts of the day. Everyone has to have a highlight. And if you've had a bad part, you can tell us about your bad part of the day too. I was going to say, what if you don't have a highlight? Well, that's sad. Because sometimes you just go to work, don't you?

You get home and it's the day stuff. No, but you've always got a favourite part of the day. Do you? It could even be coming home and relaxing. I was going to say, even just your food can be your favourite part. Yeah, it could literally be dinner. Like I branched out and I had a sushi with a bit of salmon on the top. Could that be my favourite part of the day?

It could totally be your favourite part of the day. Excellent. We should try to do this with Fletch. If you've ever had a Smith family meal, you will be asked what your favourite part of the day is and you will have to have a favourite part of the day. Are we going to do this at RSA tonight? We could. We're going to the RSA tonight.

For dinner. Can we all go around the table? Have I been invited? Yeah. Okay, good. It's open. Open invite. Okay.

Because Indie Anarchy will be there so we have to do our favourite parts of the day. Okay. Well, I'm getting sushi for lunch so that will be mine. I've already pre-planned

my favourite part of the day. Yeah, you've not even had it but you've planned it. There's nothing more fletch. If I have to have a favourite part of the day I'm going to have to plan what to do to have a favourite part of the day. I just't have to plan what to do to have a favourite part of the day.

I just can't live my life and look for highlights. Well, hopefully something exciting spontaneously will happen. That would be great. If it did. So, Indy, we asked Indy first. Indy started in a slight brag on my behalf. 30 out of 30 on a spelling

test. Moving up to the next level. Yes, queen. She's very advanced. Okay. Yeah. But have you seen the words they get them to do? Like, they're real easy. Which?

You're not allowed to bring people down when they say they're positive. The words, like, there was there. Oh, right. Okay. Which is the right there. Yeah, exactly. It was there as in the place Okay

So it was T-H-E-I-R No Easy T-H-E-Y apostrophe R-E There I'm going there But she got the right

That's awesome That is great So that's good But then we got to August And we said What was your favourite part of the day She had a bit of a think about it And she said

My favourite part of the day was baking biscuits at Kindy. Okay. I was like, totally get it. I was like, what were you baking biscuits for? The class. And she, you could see the brain started working and she started thinking, she's like, we're baking biscuits so we could sell them to people who've got their eyes shut. What?

And I was confused. I was like, are you selling biscuits? Have you sold them? No. Who's buying them? People with their eyes shut. Okay. There was so much confusion.

It seems like quite a slim market for biscuits, people in the market for biscuits. Well, yeah, how do they find you? But then we got to the bottom of it. She's on this like little panel committee who are baking biscuits for the Blind Foundation Bicky Day. People with their eyes shut. She got all confused.

I said, oh, sweetheart, you're selling biscuits to people. So people who are blind, like money gets raised and they can have guide dogs. She was like, they can't see. I was like, yeah, but it's to benefit the people who can't see. Like you're not selling to people who have eyes closed. So there was general confusion, but she's much happier now. Right, because she knows. Because once I said, how are they going to find you?

Yeah, I know, doing a little bit of charity. And I said, and then we looked it up so I could get the details of it. And I said, but Bikki Day is not till Monday. She said, yeah, we ate. So that's why it was in paper. So it was like, I don't know if it was like a test. I said, oh, were you just like perfecting your recipe? She was like, um, we ate some of them before we cooked them.

We ate some of them when we cooked them. I was like, what tasted better? She's like, before we cooked them. We ate some of them when we'd cooked them. I was like, what tasted better? She's like, before we cooked it. Yeah. That's not wrong. This is why she's my favourite. Cookie dough is the best. Cookie dough is delicious.

They sell that by the roll, like luncheon in supermarkets in America. Yeah, they do. Amazing. But it's got raw egg in it, eh? So they're a little... Yeah, it's a little... You shouldn't eat it.

So I said to her, maybe you should just sell the biscuits before they're cooked then. That'd be a good... Did that blow her mind?...difference for your business. So I said to her, maybe you should just sell the biscuits before they're cooked then. That'd be a good point of difference for your business. She was like, I'll tell them tomorrow. So I don't know, they must be having another bash at the biscuit day today. And she's got something to bring to the meeting.

Yeah. Sort of like a new take on business, where to take the business. But if you are, I think it's, I've just looked it up again. I think it's too late to register.

Right. But if you see people selling Buc-ee's on Monday and some of them will be in the shape of a dog because when you're registered you've got a dog cookie cutter. Oh yeah, that's why.

You can buy those and they're raising money for the Blind Foundation guide dogs. That's nice. Friday Flashback. First though, it's our tradition

every Friday to play an old banger, maybe a song we haven't heard for a while. I've gone to 2008, so minimum age, 10 years old. It was from her sixth studio album, Her, as the lead single. It's been covered by so many artists, Lily Allen, Franz Ferdinand, Girls Aloud. It went to number nine in New Zealand, but it was number one in the States. And, I mean

it's from a massive, massive artist. I'm surprised this wasn't number one. Yeah, so am I. Actually, this is going to give away who I'm talking about but the video from this was supposed to be a sequel to Toxic. Did you know that? No. I need to re-watch the video

but today's Friday flashback from Britney Spears. Womanizer to re-watch the video. Okay. But today's Friday flashback from Britney Spears. Womanizer. It's 10 years old. Okay, I didn't think this song was 10 years old. Alright, it's Britney Friday flashback on ZM. I know you, got a clue what you're doing You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here But I know what you are, what you are, baby

Look at you, getting more than just a re-up Baby, you got all the puppets with the strings up Baking like a good one, but I call them like I see them I know what you are, what you are, baby Womanizer, woman, womanizer You, baby Womanizer, woman, womanizer You're a womanizer, oh, womanizer Oh, you're a womanizer, baby You, you, you are, you, you, you are

Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer Boy, don't try to front, I, I No, just, just what you are, I, I Boy, don't try to front, I, I No, just, just what you are, I, I You got me going You you're oh so charming But I can't do it, you're a womanizer Boy don't try to front, I am not just just what you are

It's Britney Spears, Womanizer on ZM. It's Megan's pick for Friday Flashback. It was Grammy nominated for Best Dance Category. Born feedback. Yeah, good feedback. Somebody calls this a cultural tentpole. I've never heard of anything Britney Spears related being. She is a cultural tentpole.

She herself is a cultural tentpole, but they feel this song is a cultural tentpole because it kind of really floated the idea that women were onto the F-boys. They knew what was happening with the duck boys. Okay. That's true. That one in that Beyonce Destiny's Child song, where she's on the phone with him, but he won't say her name.

Okay. Facts. So it's a bang. You've picked a banger, Megan. You've done well. Now, TVNZ On Demand, Love Island. The UK is streaming. You've got the Australian version.

The Australian version of Love Island so far has had 2.1 million streams. Let that just blow your mind for a moment. Good Lord. Let that just blow your mind. Wow. And joining us on the phone from Love Island this morning, Cassidy, how are you? Good, how are you? Good.

Now, it's been like a week since you've left Love Island, and I'm reading the horrible articles about the hate that you've got. Wow. Yes, unfortunately. It's the unfortunate reality of reality TV. What's it been like, even just walking on the street? Do you read those online comments as well? In the first few days, I did, unfortunately,

because I didn't know to not read them. Yeah. But to be honest, as the week's gone on, it's literally dropped to less than 5% negativity. So it really has done a full 180, but at the same time, like, the damage could have already been done in that first few days. So it's kind of alarming to get the messages I was.

Because people were saying, kill yourself. Yeah, it was crazy the kinds of things they were saying. What the hell is wrong with people? It's Love Island. We're just having a bit of fun, aren't we? Yes. But, like... Just a girl trying to find some love. Knowing what you know now, though, would you still go back and do Love Island? Yeah, 100%. I would do it all over again. It was an amazing

experience. I loved it. So you'd do it again. Would you do it any differently? No, I wouldn't. I think I was 100% true to myself and I followed my heart the whole way and everything I did I wanted to do at the time because I was either curious or I had feelings and I would have ended up wondering forever if I didn't do it. So, yeah, I would have done everything again. Right. Cassidy, our producer Caitlin is...

I don't think there's a bigger fan of Love Island Australia than our producer Caitlin. Hi, Cassidy. We're getting her in just a fan. She's in a fangirl now. Hi, Cassidy. Hi. Hi.

Oh, my God. How are you? Hi. This is so weird. You don't get like this when we have Hollywood superstars in here. I know. I've just been watching from day one. I was totally team Cassidy from the start.

I couldn't believe that Grant did that to you. I was like, heidy from the start. I couldn't believe that Grant did that to you. I was like, he is the biggest dick ever. And then, like, things went, and then I'm kind of like,

oh, I'm shipping Grant and Taylor a little bit now, but they're obviously on the rocks. I've got so many questions. First of all, what is wrong with Josh? Why did you not get with Josh?

I can't believe that you guys, like, friend-zoned each other. I know. I'm not sure what they've shown of the whole Josh ending thing, but yeah, it was such a

mutual breakup because the spark just wasn't there. We tried to take things further off our friendship and we both just agreed that every time we tried to get physical or take it further it just got weird. And when Dom came into the villa,

like, what I didn't realise I was missing with Josh, I sort of just had that initial spark and, like, attraction to Dom. And I definitely don't regret anything, but I would love the opportunity to spend more time with Josh now, but in the villa, I still would do everything the same again because I would have always been curious about Dom

to see if it would have worked, if it wouldn't have worked. And in the villa, you just don't have that kind of time to work on things. Yeah. You just never know. I'm glad you didn't go with Dom. That's good that you got rid of him as well. Yeah, no, I definitely woke up to that.

Your relationship with Taylor, was that because it went from like being really obviously annoyed at her, because I was. I was screaming at the TV like, how could she do that? But then we sort of kind of realised it was more Grant. And then you and Taylor became like quite good friends. Are you, what's the feelings around Taylor now? So Taylor and I, we didn't leave on the greatest terms.

In regards to Taylor, it's kind of hard to level with her because their maturity levels and mine are very different. I like hypocritical of me to say this, but she is a very emotional girl. And once she has her mind made up about something, she sort of just doesn't let it go. And she wasn't even willing to, like, speak to me. She didn't want to give me, apparently, the satisfaction. But we got to clear the air on the truth bike.

But, yeah, she was still harboring some negative emotions after I left. Go, girl. That was the best thing I've ever seen you on the truth bike. You were so calm and you just had, like, you just said it amazingly. It was the best thing I've ever seen you on the truth. You were so calm and you just had like, you just said it amazingly. It was so good. Oh my God.

Yeah. Well, I'm glad I got that opportunity, especially as I got dumped. I was really grateful I got that opportunity to like clear the air because that's one thing I would have regretted

is leaving and not having ever spoken to Grant or Taylor about why I did it. Yeah. Since you've left the show, what's your DMs like? How many guys have slid in there? See, well, not that many that are worth noticing. It's kind of really weird.

Have you got any unsolicited penis pictures? Oh, no, thank God. Not yet, but probably I'm going to unfortunately get them. But no, thankfully I haven't received any, like, bad ones. But thankfully,

Instagram also blurs them as well. Oh, yeah. Can Instagram identify a... No, if you send any photo... That's right,

and you don't know the photos, yeah. They blur it, yeah. But then don't you want to know what that photo is? I'm still like, hmm, what is this? Oh, look, curiosity probably will always get the better of the place. Yeah. They blur it, yeah. But then don't you want to know what that photo is? I'm still like, hmm, what is this?

Oh, look, curiosity probably will always get the better of the cat, unfortunately. Something I've wondered, though, watching Love Island, do you, is there something you get scouted for or did you apply, like? I applied for Love Island. I didn't get scouted. Because there were rumours that you were an actress, weren't there? But they say this all the time, don't they? Yeah, well, I did hear fascinating rumours that I was a paid actress,

but no, I was not the paid actress on there. There could very well be someone else on there, maybe a paid actress, and then stop there. Wires crossed, but no, it's definitely not me. Do you have any suspects? No, I don't think... Millie! No, just kidding, I'm just kidding.

I actually like Millie. What about the fact that... I don't think anyone could. I actually like Millie. What about the fact that... I don't think anyone could be that good of an actress. What about the fact that there's rumours that Grant and Eden have girlfriends outside of the villa? Oh, that shocked me. I'm like, could anyone really be that dumb enough? I don't believe it personally for both of them because... Well, especially for Eden.

Like, you're going on national television. Of course you're going to get caught out. In saying that for Grant, he was dumb enough to fly through his teeth for a week, so. I can imagine he would. I don't trust him. He's a slippery snake. Yeah. Look, I'm going to hope

for the best, especially hope for Taylor, because Jesus Christ, I would hate to see the fallout. The girlfriend's not going to see that. He might have had a girl for when he went in, but she's not sticking around and The girlfriend's not going to... Yeah, yeah, sure. As soon as you see that, you're not going to stick around. He might have had a girlfriend when he went in, but she's not sticking around and watching the show while he's in there, surely,

and being like, oh, he loves me, that was coming out at the end. He's single now. Yeah. Yeah, apparently he's just been in for the exposure. And I want to know, too, like, reality TV shows, do the producers, like, influence what's happening? Not at all.

So, basically, we're filmed 24 hours a day, and we're wearing microphones around our neck. And whatever discussions we're having, so like if I were to say, oh, I really want to talk to Millie, she's really annoying me, if I don't go and do it and I keep talking about it, they'll encourage me to go and talk to her. Right.

A, for me to get it off my chest, and B, it'll probably make good TV. So, but they won't put words in my mouth at all or they won't like coerce anything but they will set up conversations but it'll be to do with what's going on or what something we've said

but no, it's all very much us. It's not production at all. God, I've been no good at that because I always talk a big talk but I shan't be walking anymore. I know. Really quickly, I know who you're already, I already know who you're going to say, but who do you think is going to win?

Eden and Erin. Eden and Erin. Of course. Erin's my wifey. Where has my friendship gone? Is that for real? Was that just for the TV or was that like a you? No, that was so real.

Like from the very first day, from the moment she met me, apparently I said to her like within 30 seconds of meeting, I was like, yeah, I'm really kind. Like I kind of always end up letting people walk all over me. She's like, oh, no, that's going to change. Like I'm going to take you under my wing. Yeah, because you turned into her. You basically turned into her.

You were like savage. You were like, nah, no one's playing me. That's the weird thing. Like, my friends and family watching when I got out, they were like, it was cute that everyone thought that you, like, transitioned into this, like, girl with a backbone where we were watching at the start. We were like, who is this girl?

Like, where's Cassidy with a backbone? Like, that was me all along. I just, like, I don't know. Grant sort of, like, pulled my backbone out of me and I was, like, slowly growing it back. And in that last week, I was like, yeah, I'm back. Well, thanks so much for talking to us. All the best with life and love.

Cassidy from Love Island Australia. Thank you so much. Thanks for talking to us. Thanks for having me, guys. Fact of the day This will blow your mind Okay, I'm ready to have my mind blown This will blow your mind

Okay Walking on a treadmill Swinging your Walking anywhere Going for a walk Yeah And swinging your left arm With your left leg

Rather than your right arm With your left leg rather than your right arm with your left leg. You know how you... Oh, like march. No, you don't do that much. Your march is the opposite arm to opposite leg. So you're doing

the same arm and leg when you walk. Yes. Isn't there some kind of military, like, bee feeders or the changing of the guard? It's really hard

and it's... I did this around the house last night and Shade's like, why are you doing it like that Try to do it naturally I was like you try to do it naturally And she was like

I guess it's because you never do it If you practice it you can probably get good at it Because swinging your left arm along with your left leg While walking burns 26% more calories I'm doing it At the gym I'm doing it You'll look weird on the treadmill It would just be hard to do on a treadmill.

It's really hard to do. Oh, you try and do it running. You try and do it running. You can't. It's impossible. I'd rather just do an extra five minutes and look like an idiot. Well, no, you need to do an extra. How long are you running for? Because if it's 26% more, that's like a quarter. Just over a quarter. Well, either that or do this when it's early in the morning

before people are up. Seriously, you try and do it when you're running. It actually puts you off balance. It must be a balance thing. I'm going to take my boots off. I'm going to try to run. Okay, you look like an idiot. Be thankful if you're stuck in a car and you can't try this

because it looks ridiculous. I wonder how many more calories do in that Naruto run burn. You know, where you put your arms back and you just run. Oh my God, do that on the treadmill. So good. That would look great if you were at the gym honking it like 18 clicks and you're just arms back, head down and just boost it. That would be pretty cool.

I'm going to try that next time I'm at the gym, so I might die, so I might need someone to come and get me. Right, but you go to the gym at like 3.30 in the morning. Best time I was going to say get someone to film you, but no one will be there. No, there's always recording security cameras. Oh, okay. So at least I'll be able to get some YouTube hits posthumously.

Yeah. He went viral after he died trying to do the Naruto run on a treadmill. It's what he would have wanted. Yeah, it is. It is actually what I would like. So today's fact of the day is swinging your left arm at the same time as your left leg and vice versa will burn 26% more calories while walking. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Facebook is going to be trialling a new feature called Keyword Snooze. And this means that you can avoid TV show spoilers, but it also means you can take people out of your life. Yep, you could put baby in there as a key word. Engagements, babies, marriages, happiness, and my friends' lives. Humanity.

People. Anything other than bloodlust. I'd be able to leave with cats. Leave those. Cats. Megan's stupid dog. Oh, I'd block Megan's stupid dog. Would that block Megan's stupid dog? It's interesting that they haven't been able to block certain sorts of photos.

Because have you ever done that thing where, I don't know if this was on Facebook, I went to edit photo and it was change category of photo. I was like, what is that? And I clicked on it and it was single category of photo. And I was like, what is that? And I clicked on it and it was like single human dark background. And it was a photo of Indy with a dark background. And I didn't have anything on it. And Facebook had deducted that it was a single human with a dark background. And you can also tell Facebook to not use your face in its facial recognition.

Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, and then Ross was showing me that you can type in like beach photos of mine that include a beach and at any time that there's facial recognition. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, and then Ross was showing me that you can type in like beach photos of mine that include a beach and at any time that there's a beach. How does it know? Magic. God, I would have been caught out so bad if I was on witness protection. What do you mean?

Or just be in all these people's photos. Like at BYOs and stuff. And then the mob would find me. I think the idea about the witness protection is you don't go to BYOs or if everyone's like selfie at the BYO, you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the mob would find me. The mob would find me. I think the idea about the witness protection is you don't go to BYOs. Or if everyone's like, selfie at the BYO, you're like, okay.

And then everyone's going to be like, why does Fletch not want photos at the BYO? Oh, because... And then I'd have to tell them I was on witness protection. No, you never say you're on witness protection. That's why you're bad at being on witness protection.

You're telling everyone you're on witness protection. What do you have to tell them? Oh, probation. Yeah. That's why I tell Greenpace on the street You're telling everyone you're in witness protection What do you have to tell them? Probation Yeah That's why I tell Greenpeace on the street I can't sign up for their bloody whales Do you have to tell them

Give up all your friends till and stuff If you're in witness protection You have to walk away from your whole life You have to walk away from us I have to walk away from all of you I've got to find out another way to tell my new friends I'm on witness protection You make a Spotify playlist And the only song in it is Walking Away Yeah. Which means I've got to find out another way to tell my new friends I'm on witness protection.

You make a Spotify playlist and the only song in it is Walking Away. Okay. I'm walking away. And then you like send it to everybody and then you're gone. Just like that. And then I'll know. This is a great feature though.

Oh yeah, that's right. That's what we're talking about. TV spoilers. Yes. Especially with America, like it's hard. Even now that we can get them on the day of release, Game of Thrones is impossible to avoid because normally you want to sit down after dinner and watch that.

You want to give it a few hours, but by then it's ruined for you online. Well, you could block Game of Thrones. You could put G, little O, big T in there, block all of that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You could put a character's name in there if you think they're going to be involved. Jon Snow. Yeah, block all of that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You could put like a character's name in there if you think they're going to be involved. Jon Snow. Yeah, it'd get rid of that.

But you could also, if you're just sick of like the Kardashians or Donald Trump or put them in. Anything like that. You could put them in and you wouldn't be seeing them on your feed either. So, testing the feature, but it's not available yet. Yeah, testing it. Like they do with most things, they'll test it and then they'll roll it out to like a limited

audience and one of your friends will be like, oh, I've got this new feature. And you'll drive yourself nuts looking for it, but then you realise that it's not everybody's yet. FEM. And first up this morning, we're going to Emma. Good morning, Emma. What's your story for Last Calls? Hi, my story for Last

Call is we recently bought my grandma a new car. We're from Dunedin and she kept complaining she was getting Christchurch radio channels in her car and couldn't get onto the Dunedin one. Right. It turns out there was only CH on her radio, and it stood for Channel, not Christchurch, and she thought it was Christchurch. Oh, bless.

She's like, they're from Christchurch. No matter what, when I change it, it still says Christchurch. It was like my friend that thought it was the moist button on their stereo in their car, but it was mono slash stereo. But the slash looked like an I and it was moist. And I said, oh, what's the moist button for? Because they said, oh, that's the moist button. I said, what is the moist button for? You know when you get in your car and there's like condensation on the inside?

Idiot. It was good fun. Good times. We'll vote in a sec. Melissa, Melissa, what's your story for last calls? Melissa. Oh, hello. Hi, Melissa. It's about a road worker guy. We got stopped and he decided to hit on me

and then he said, oh, I'd better stop. I don't want to make him jealous. Him meaning my dad. I turn around and go, um, that's my dad. And he was said, oh, I'd better stop. I don't want to make him jealous, him meaning my dad. I turned around and go, that's my dad. And he was like, oh, and we just all bursted out in laughter. And my dad said, hey, well, unless you think I look young. That's true. So funny.

But also stop hitting on my daughter and please turn the sign around so we can get on our way. Yeah, so he was in charge of the stop-go sign? Yes, he was a lollipop boy. Right, okay. It's embarrassing getting hit on in front of your dad, I would have thought. It was, but I had to laugh him thinking

I was dating an older guy. Like, come on. But also, I wonder if he'd stopped you a bit longer because he was flirting with you. Yeah. That would be a downside of being hot and driving. And the little walkie-talkie guy at the other end is like, send him on through.

And he's like, give us a couple of minutes, mate. All right, Melissa, we'll vote in a sec. Wait there, Steph, what's your story for last calls? Morning. Morning. Hi. So, summer last year, mum and dad decided that they were going to sell our family camper,

like a motorhome, and we'd had that for so many years and had so many good family memories in it. So my sisters and I were pretty upset. Yeah. And so anyway, he said that the guy that had come to look at it a couple of times was going to pick it up in the morning.

And so I was a bit gutted. I decided I was going to sleep in it for the night. Okay. I didn't tell mum and dad about it because I thought they would think it was a bit queer, but anyway. So yeah, I hopped in it and went to sleep and the next morning,

me being a heavy sleeper and all, it wasn't the best idea because I wake up at the Bombay's. So the guy had come to pick it up and I'm on my way to the Bombay's, none the wiser, So the guy had come to pick it up. And I'm on my way to the Bombay's, none the wiser, and I wake up here and can't see him anywhere. He's parked up.

So I go into the coffee shop to try and find him, not knowing what he looks like. Yeah. And can't find anyone. So I come out and the camper van's leaving. So I'm stuck at the Bombay's. I had to ring mum and dad who just, it's like, I mean, they still take the piss out of me now. It was hilarious.

And then they rang the guy to let him know. It was so embarrassing, even though I didn't know him. But yeah, so that was... Oh my God. Were you in your pyjamas? I was, yeah. I was sleeping in my pyjamas. How much of a heavy sleeper are you?

Because you went down the Bombays and all around. I know, this is from the North Shore in Auckland to all the way to the Bombays. We'd always joked about the camper being like a real smooth ride. So, yeah, it proved to be true. So a motorhome, so you drove it. Were you sleeping in that? He drives in the front.

Yeah. Were you in the bed above where he drives? No, in the back. There's like a fold-out one. Oh. I was in that. Oh, my God. How did he not?

Can you not see through from the drivers? He could have if he had a look. He obviously just didn't look. Why did he pick up the camera? He just gave him the keys and away he went. All right, let's vote the Tribal Council for our favourite story for last calls. And yeah, I don't think we can go past that. Steph, congratulations.

$100. $150, I mean. $150 to spend a grand one. Oh, thank you. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. We'll be back.
