This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, brought to you by Spark. Capture life like never before with the Samsung Galaxy S9. I told you you should have done it, Megan. No, I tell you, that was great. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Is salmon meat? Yes. I don't love it. I love a bit of salmon.

I'm not above salmon. We are shookers from that whole news bulletin. I'm a what? Nobel Peace Prize for Trump. GST on international goods. No meat for you. No meat. And GST for you, Megan.

Lord. It's something to shooketh everybody. Now what am I going to do? How are they going to put that on? When you buy it from the retailer overseas? Or do you have to pay to get it released at customs?

It'll be included in the price. God damn it. By the sounds of it. God damn it, Carrie. There'll be a way around it. Alright, coming up

on the show, thanks to Kiwi Bank and Mind Over Money, we've got some cash to give away. Before 7 o'clock, let's head out for the Activator.

The top six is coming up. Yeah, Wellington's allowing pets on public transport from Dubai. Do you have to prove like you need it? Nope. Their top six is coming up. Yeah, Wellington's allowing pets on public transport. From? Doodai. Do you have to prove, like, you need it?

Nope. No, it's not just guide dogs. Any pet. Any old nut bar that wants to take their bird for a walk in its cage. Your pet ferret? On its shoulder. To take your pet ferret? I don't know. People have those.

You're not allowed to breed ferrets anymore, but you are allowed to let it live out its natural life should you have a ferret. Oh, that's good. Yeah, because I lived with a guy who had two ferrets. Was he single? Unsurprisingly, he had no trouble with the ladies. Really?

Did he use his ferrets? Well, he used his ferret. I don't know. Yeah, no, it was a weird... It was an unexplained situation. It was an unexplained issue. Okay, well, the top six is coming up. Yes, it is.

I don't know what exactly it's going to be. Oh, right. That's why I was waiting for you to... Hey, why decide these things ahead of time? Live by the seat of your pants. Well, you've got about 20 minutes to sit here. 20 more minutes than I need. All Well, you've got about 20 minutes to sort it out this morning, Smitty. Alright,

you lot, listen up. It's story time. Alright, three news headlines, three weird and interesting unusual quirky news stories that I've found. Vornamaggan, you've got to pick one story. Headline one, dark and

10th year of school. Headline two, high and 10th year of school. Headline two, high school kids warned not to sneeze into a tissue for an old man for $9. And headline three, marathon dream comes true. Good lord. Wow.

One. What are you googling? What are you googling? Wow. I. Um. One. Don't. What are you Googling? He's Googling the tissue. What are you Googling? What are you Googling? You're Googling the tissue, aren't you? Sneeze into a tissue.

Because the old man obviously wanted to get sick for some reason. But they're. I'm not playing this game. I don't think that's the case. I don't know. What is it? No, it's just all come up with stories about how sneezing into a tissue is a. Holding in a sneeze is really bad for you.

Oh, yeah, you shouldn't do that. A man held in a sneeze and it ruptured his throat. Another one popped a blood vessel in his eye. Yeah, no, don't do that. Okay, just leave it out. What was story number three about the... Marathon dream comes true. I like...

I like the duck. The duck in 10th year of school? Yeah. What's he doing there? What was that? What's he doing there for all these years? I don't know. Oh, shucks.

Are we going duck? Nah, I don't know. You go with whatever you want. The duck will either be a letdown because in my mind, he's a professor. Yeah, is it just a duck that's been at a school for 10 years? Yeah, Fletcher's nodding. Right.

So just a duck just been living on school grounds. I know, because I don't want you to choose this one and then be let down, like you said. Right. Yeah, because in my mind,

he's definitely a professor. Okay, well, do you want... I kind of want the marathon one. I feel like there's more to that. Marathon dream comes true. Yes, please. Okay, well, the London Marathon... We. I kind of want the marathon one. I feel like there's more to that. Marathon dream comes true. Yes, please. Okay, well, the London Marathon... We got there.

The London Marathon has just happened. Was it last weekend or the weekend before? Weekend before. Well, Stanley Scoopin is 38. He is a homeless man. He sleeps rough at London's Heathrow Airport. Okay. And he has told The Sun newspaper

that crossing the finish line in the London Marathon was a dream come true. Now, I'll show you... Did he do the marathon? I'll show you a photo of him. There he is with his... Ouch!

What did he pin his thing to? He's not wearing any clothes. He's just holding it up. He's taking it... Because, you know, you run, you get a bit hot, so you take your shirt off at the finish. Also, he's done well there

for nipples without plasters on them, not to get bloody nips. Wow, Vaughn. Wow. Oh, he's cheated well there for nipples without plasters on them, not to get bloody nips. Wow, Vaughn, wow. Oh, he's cheated. Okay. He is a man who was watching the London Marathon when he saw a bib number that had ripped off somebody's singlet and he picked it up and he ran the last couple of kilometres

of the London Marathon, finishing, crossing the line and receiving a medal. Homeless people's physique is a little bit like long distance runners though. It's very skinny. It does look like a long distance runner. Yeah, like album hungry is also like album and run all day. To be honest, it looks a bit more built than a runner. Oh yeah,

in that photo he does. Well, anyway, he's been criticised and he's not taking any of it. He told the Sun newspaper, I saw the number face up in the middle

of the road and I thought, I've got to get this medal. My heart leaped. It was a dream come true. And so, yeah, he's obviously been

branded a cheat and people are saying you should give the medal back, he's obviously been branded a cheat, and people are saying you should give the medal back, and he's like, no. But he understands that he didn't run it, eh? Is it a first place medal, or is it just a participation? Everyone gets a participation medal.

Oh, but the London Marathon's one of those ones you've limited numbers, you've got to be sponsored to run it, and it's like, really, people dream of running in the London Marathon. He said he was in tears when the woman put the medal around his neck and told him, well done. No, but he didn't run it. He added, it's my biggest moment ever. No, you didn't run it.

I know. He knows that, eh? Yeah, but he's obviously not well. Let him keep the medal. Who cares? It's a piece of medal. It was a shock for the person who'd lost their number and logged on to race photos and results

when they saw the homeless man with their marathon medal and bib number, and he's saying he should be feeling pretty bad and give it back. It's fine if it was a victimless crime, but yeah, someone actually ran that. I'm sure they'll get their medal as well. Okay, we'll let them go with their medals.

Of course they will. Oh, no. It's a brilliant story. I'm sure they'll get their medal as well. Okay, we'll let them know. Of course they will. That's a brilliant story. A brother and a sister were forced to spend an Emirates flight in the bathrooms. Now, this is because they have nut allergies. Now, they're not young. I initially thought when I read this that they were young. This sounds like a play to get up to business class.

Does it? No, no, business class is riddled with nuts. Oh, do they have nuts? Fire nut content. And a nicer nut, too. Not a peanut. Like a cashew. Pistachio. You know, the king of nuts.

You know, Ricky Gervais does a bit about nuts and people with nut allergies on flights. And his latest stand-up. Their latest stand-up. He's just like, well, I've offended some people, but it's time to offend everybody else.

Everybody, yeah. So they, well, she's 24 and he's 33 and they were going on a flight and they alerted Emirates staff three times. So when they booked it, when they checked in

and when they got on board, they said, look, we have serious nut allergies. We carry EpiPens, and there is a chance we could get sick just from, you know, like air residue from the vents and things. So somebody could have nuts 10 seats away. Yeah. The aroma of the nuts in a salad waft up into the vents,

circulate, go past them, and all of a sudden they're puffing up and can't breathe. Why are you so aggressive about it? I just, when has this become such a big thing? Like, I don't remember, because you were saying at schools it's crazy. You can't give your kids peanut butter sandwiches to take to school. So you can, but the kids with the nut allergies, they get together in a little gang, and they go and eat somewhere where the kids aren't.

I mean, people have got... I don't know why nut allergies seem so much worse these days than when we were like kids. But they are. They're crazy. Is it an increase? Has something caused this? Because it just seems like people are making a fuss about...

Well, scientists have looked into it. I'm sure they've got a theory as to why it's kind of doubled over the years. But why can't they just have not had nuts on that flight? Surely it's got to the point now where nuts can just be taken off flights because you just don't know. There is an airline that will, when you're booking, if you say there's nuts, there'll be no nuts on the whole flight. Who was it?

Was it Singapore? On the whole flight. Yeah. Was it Singapore? I mean, not without nuts because someone's allergic. I don't care about nuts. I don't care if there's a couple of peanuts or a couple of cashews in the salad. Do you know in the movies there's these little things?

Have you tried those? Did you try those hot nuts I had at the movies? I saw you get hot nuts the other night. You always see those there. I was like, no, it's fine. I love them. Of course, Smitty. Of course you bought them.

I bought them once on a whim. Yeah. And I absolutely love them. Them, and if you go to the movies, you can have a beer. Perfect. You're having a hot nuts and a beer. Hot nuts and a beer at the movies. You are so la la.

It's good. Have you had them Sahara hot nuts? How much are they? Because they're not priced. That's the thing that gets me. Oh, like at the movies. At the movies, everything's crazy. $100 for a little bit.

$1,500 for them. Those nuts, when I tell you, they're worth it. At the movies, everything's crazy. $100 for a nut. $1,500. $1,500 for a nut. Those nuts, when I tell you, they're worth it. Right. But you can't. See, that's the thing. How do you know that you're not buying these hot nuts? Sitting next to someone with a nut allergy. I know.

A friend of mine, his wife has a horrendous nut allergy. She was getting ice cream once and took a lick and was like, uh-oh. And someone had used the scoop and it had been in the hot water, but at some stage had touched something with a nut in it throughout the selection of ice creams. Well, these two siblings were told by staff to go and sit in the toilet with a pillow and a blanket. But that would take up a lot of toilets.

Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, what's the other option to sit with a blanket over your head? Well, they'd sit in the toilet with a blanket over their head because they were worried about the air con. I would have given them a sky couch and said, here's some blankets, go nuts. Oh, excuse the pun.

It's Emirates, so they don't have a sky couch, do they? Oh, I would have made them one. Yeah, right. Would have given them lots of blankets. Go nuts. Yeah, that was an accidental pun. Oh, was it? I'm pleased it them one. Yeah, right. Would have given them lots of blankets. Go nuts. Yeah. That was an accidental pun. Oh, was it? I'm pleased it's out.

Right, okay. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Today's Top Six. Wellington is letting pets on public transport from Dode. So if you want to take your dog on an adventure, knock yourself out. This isn't going to last long, I feel. No. Why? It't going to last long, I feel. No. Why?

It's going to be good. I don't want to be on a packed bus and then some chihuahua lets rip and does a big nuggy on the floor. Who's cleaning that up? I haven't even considered the poo. No, neither. Especially like animals. It would be quite weird.

Yeah. If they're not used to it. And my cat would scratch the seats. My couch is stuffed. And the thing is like, I might be equipped to pick up a poos, but if Leo did a wheeze on there, like what? Oh yeah. What am I going to do?

Let it soak in. Just dribble down there. Oh yuck. Yeah. And then it's going to stankle. All these buses are going to smell like canaries, budgies and poodles. I don't think anyone's taking the canary. Or they're allowed.

They're allowed. It falls under the pet jurisdiction. Right. Do you guys think of a good hashtag for people to take photos of their pets on? Pets on Wellington Transport. Pets on WGTN Transport. Because that's Wellington's abbreviation. You've got to make a hashtag shorter, don't you?

No, nowadays it's hard to get a hashtag going. Not like the early days of SoshMet, eh it's hard to get a hashtag going. Not like the early days of Soshmed, eh? Yeah. You get a hashtag going. Piece of cake. Like lighting a fire in a tinder dry bit of scrub. Well, not nowadays. Top six pets I want to see on Wellington Transport today

in photos using the hashtag pets on Wellington Transport. Number six. A sheep in business attire on the train. Is that going to be great? Yep. And because all those business types in Wellington are sheep anyway, man. Have some individuality, man.

Stop just doing what the man tells you, man. Number five on the list of the top six pets I want to see on Wellington public transport and photos today. A horse on the ferry from Eastbourne to the city for a meeting at a government department. And the person rides the horse into the meeting. Or is the horse just there to do the meeting?

The horse is there for its own meeting. Oh, I'm sorry. How very degrading to be ridden into a meeting. I'll ride you into our next meeting. See how that makes you feel. We've got a meeting at 9.30 and I will more than just happily let you ride me. I'll ride you in.

Oh my God. Number four on the list of the top six pets I want to see on Wellington public transport in photos today. Number four, a parrot talking loudly about how if its favourite barista is away today, it'll be absolutely gutted whilst on a bus to Cuba Street. Brilliant. So hipster. Because the parrot could even sit on that little hoop thing that you hold onto with your hands.

Oh, yeah. And then when he gets his coffee, the barista can give him like one of those biscottis, but it's sesame seeds. Ah, yes. Yes. And he's like, was I supposed to be this hard?

Should I let it dip in the coffee? Is it bread or a cracker? I mean, I'm a parrot. I'm not fussy, but I just want to know. Number three on the list of the top six pets I want to see on Wellington public transport today as it becomes

you know all legit to take your pet on Wellington public transport. Number three an alpaca on the train screaming at a woman I'm not a llama short ears

smaller body stop being racist. Sorry. That'd be good. And then Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, my God.

Can we please take an alpaca on the train? And when people look at you, we'd be like, what? What? And it's carrying, like, a little... Would it have to have its own snapper cart to swipe on? Oh, no. I don't know, because it's taking up a bit of room in Alpaca. Yeah, it's taking up three people.

Could take up three people. So is that like a forfeit? No, but it's a pet. It falls under the, it's with me. There's got to be some more rules in this pet thing. Otherwise, people will be playing fast and loose. Number two on the list of the top six pets I want to see on Wellington Public Transport today,

an oxolotl on a ferry telling people how things were much better in its day and also falsely accusing youth of graffitiing the seats. Brilliant. Yeah. Oxolotls. Did you have one of those? Isn't it an axolotl? No.

Is it? Oxolotl. Is it an A or an O? I thought it was an O. An axolotl. It's a Mexican walking fish. You couldn't even say tarantula yesterday. You've been practicing.

Go on. Oh yeah, I saw your Snapchat. Toy boy was... Tralantula. No. Jesus. That's it. Go.

Tralantula. No. It's not tra. It's tarantula. Oh, yeah. Okay. No, I'm supposed to start with tar like the road and end with like Coachella. Okay, go.

Tar. Coachella. Ranchella. No. I'm supposed to start with tar like the road and end with like Coachella. Okay, go. Tar. Coachella. Ranchella. No, tarantula. Okay, sorry. Oh, I won't interrupt. Tarantula. Chochola.

Tarantula. You've got to say it faster. Tarantula. Yes. Yes. Faster, faster. Tralantula. No.

And the number one. We're going to do this every day. We'll check in every day. Every day, see how the tarantula report. Number one on the top six pets I want to see on Wellington Public Transport today is a pet cat standing over the dead body of somebody else's pet rat on a trolley bar saying, what have I done?

Why did they let us all on public transport? There was a flawed plan from the beginning. I'm so sorry. I just couldn't stop myself. That's today's top six. Now, I said if you're a woman who is a personal trainer, there is some warnings that have been put out now. Okay.

Now, this is for pregnant women or maybe women who are going to get pregnant. You need to educate yourself on this because apparently a lot of personal trainers in New Zealand haven't been trained properly to work with pregnant women so there is a postnatal exercise specialist Lorraine and she has said that there are basically training clients as if they weren't pregnant and it can be really dangerous. So in New Zealand, she says there's only a few courses. Some of them are only a couple of days and it's not enough. Right. So some women are doing exercises, specifically abs,

and they're tearing their... Oh, God. Like, abdominals. I mean, there's certain things pregnant women shouldn't do, like run a country, be involved in business, leave the home, look at other men, open their eyes, or step outside. Obviously, for those four people that missed that, that's sarcasm. Horrendous. Horrendous sarcasm.

Yeah, it freaks me out. I know pregnant women can exercise, but when I see a pregnant woman running, because before you crack open an egg, freaks me out. I know a pregnant woman can exercise, but when I see a pregnant woman running because, like, if you before you crack open an egg, you've given it a good shake and then you crack it and it's all pre-scrambled. I don't think it's the same thing.

I know it's not. I know it's wildly different. And the human bodies evolve to, you know, allow movement and traversing and escaping while pregnant. But, Mike, you see some woman at the gym pregnant and you're like, oh, I know I see that. Sweet Jesus, you're going hard.

A visibly pregnant woman doing a pump class. And, like, I would never comment on her situation because I've never been pregnant. I don't know. I would just never do a pump class. But I was just like, whoa, dude, like, is that... Because is there a time when you should stop doing stuff like that? Well, you're not even supposed to fly in a plane on the third trimester, are you?

But is that because of air pressure and... I don't know. Why is that? There's three wildly uneducated people on this subject. I just remembered my wife couldn't fly anywhere on the third trimester. Is it at a risk because it might put you into labour early? I don't know. So Lorraine says she has seen people at gyms,

specifically working on Swiss balls and doing things that she's like, oh, this is not good. So she will literally go up to people, even if they're with a trainer, and say, hey, that's not good for you. You shouldn't be doing that. And she says she does it often in New Zealand.

And she'd know. She'd know because she's in the know. Yeah, even when they're with personal trainers. So I guess if you're pregnant, you should maybe ask if your trainer is like qualified in that situation. That's pretty scary. They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

I'd just give up and just eat heaps of bad food. Me too. Can lose it later. I'm going to get big anyway. I need this donut. The baby needs the donut. The baby wants the donut. That's I need this donut. The baby needs the donut. The baby wants the donut. That's how I justify everything. The baby needs this.

Holy moly. That's worrying though that personal trainers aren't qualified for that sort of thing. Because I know a lot of people worry about pregnancy weight. They shouldn't but what's that? I'm sure some are. Oh yeah but definitely worth checking. Yeah it's not even pregnancy weight though. You just want to like stay active and fit and healthy right? Yeah yeah yeah throughout it. Yeah. I say this now but it's not going pregnancy weight, though. You just want to, like, stay active and fit and healthy, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, throughout it. Yeah. I say this now, but it's not going to be me at all. Yeah. Well, I actually had a couple of questions yesterday on my Instagram story, FletchNZ, after I posted the flu. We got the flu jabs yesterday. Oh, yeah.

And people were saying, well, Megan's not getting a flu jab because she's pregnant. Oh. Deal with the rumors now. Deal with the rumors. She's not pregnant. She's because she's pregnant. Oh. Deal with the rumors now. Deal with the rumors. She's not pregnant. She's an anti-vaxxer. No. Don't plaster me with that.

I'd rather be called pregnant than an anti-vaxxer. You actually went to the doctor yesterday. You might have strep throat. Strep throat. Yes, I'm not allowed to get the flu jab. I'm not pregnant. Can we get that? I had it last year.

Awful. Do you want me to give you a wee pash? Just spit in his mouth. We don't need the awkwardness of that. Fletchborn and Megan's Community Notices. We're just all arguing. A lot of fun. Not me.

I've got a headache from all you guys arguing. From the arguing. It's fun arguing, though. It's fun arguing though. It's fun arguing. So millennials don't understand T3 bus lanes. Yeah, it's that mundane an argument. Transport routes. Transport.

Welcome to Community Notices, a segment of the show where we have a look at what's happening around the country according to posts on local Facebook pages. Let's start in the Farringdon community page in Rolleston. Farringdon. Farringdon. Farringdon.

I don't know if that's like a new suburb that's popped up and they're like, let's not lump ourselves in with Rolleston on a whole. Because, you know, we're new.

Let's start our own page. Well, Christina's written on there that she's been door-to-door knocking And have been to a few houses But with no answer I have found a magpie Oh, you're right, Vaughan It's a Farrington-Rolleston

It's a master plan residential community To the south of Christchurch Just googled And she's found a magpie A very friendly pet magpie He came in And was reluctant to leave Our dog outside scared him And here's the magpie Look at this magpie. He came in and was reluctant to leave. Our dog outside scared him.

And here's the magpie. Look at this magpie, just sitting on the couch. Oh, I don't trust it, though. See, I've always quite liked the magpie. No, they're asshole birds. I know, remove the dive, remove the dive, woman. Megan, why don't you tell us what you really think about magpies? Don't hold back.

I don't, look at him, he's sitting there, he? Don't hold back. I don't. Look at him. He's sitting there. He's about to do something. I know. They always look like they're about to do something. That's why when they're sitting there, you're like, uh-oh, he's going to dive bomb me. But he's like, well, I'm not going to do anything. Just sit up here.

He's like you. He's just got a guilty face. Yeah, I know. He's a real shenanigans bird. Maybe that's why I've always had a bit of a link. You've walked to it. And they can talk. They're quite smart.

Get them off that couch. It looks like it's got sharp claws on had a bit of a link. You've walked to it. And they can talk, eh? They're quite smart. Get them off that couch. It looks like it's got its sharp claws on that nice leather couch. Yeah. It's one of those corner couches, too. It squeaks around. Has anyone ever had it? Because you've got this sharp corner couch. Megan, you've got one.

I used to have one of these until my wife gave it away because it didn't suit the interior or something. But what about if it rolls around like a BK seat? Well, that's all right if you've got a large, roughness room like a BK seat? Well, that's alright if you've got a large rumpus room or a lounge but you're wasting that corner.

Yeah, aren't you? Oh, yeah, you're going to tuck it right in the corner. Unless you put a lamp or a plant behind it. It can be used to like segregate a room, you know? You can use the corner.

Oh, yeah, like a sort of a four and a half floor. It does. But it's not, it's L-shaped. Yes, it does. It separates the table from the...

Yeah. I don't know if curvy couches are in. Okay. But cool. Maybe leave the magpie on the couch and you can scratch and you can justify getting a new one. But if we're talking about lost pets, this one from the Timaru Whinge page, Sophie says, Could the owner of the eel lying on Evans Street please come and collect it?

I almost shat myself walking past it. Oh. I love how people just assume because it's an animal in an area, they're not usually seeing it and it's got to be a pet. Well, I mean, the magpie was because it was inside and it was friendly. Yeah. But Sophie's just seen an eel and she's like, well, that's not in a creek. So I assume it must be somebody's pet.

But that would die out there, right? It's dead, isn't it? No, they can scoot right across land, eels. No. Yeah. Yeah. What? Because we caught eels when we were across land. Eels. Yeah. Yeah. What? Because we caught eels when we were kids out of the creek.

Yeah, same. And we put them in the trough to scare Dad. Yeah. Because he'd always check the troughs to make sure the cows had enough water. But there were water in there, so of course they're going to. No, but then he'd be like, ah, Jesus, you kids, you've got to stop putting eels in troughs. But then once we put it in, and the trough was quite quite full and this thing like lurched over the side and like slopped into the thing

and then just snaked through the grass. And that's how snakes were made. Probably. One that got out and he was like, you know what? Being dry is not too bad. I'm just going to say in the land. Got a hair in my mouth though.

How would you get rid of that? You don't have hands. No, that's how the tongue came about. That's how he spit it out. Oh, my God, Fletch. That's how evolution works, that quickly. In the space of two minutes. A snake is just an eel trying to spit grass out of its mouth.

And that's evolution. That's how it works. Next, while we'll just get the trifecta of animal posts out of the way, Hasitha writes on the Christchurch Buy, Sell and Trade page, Did anyone lose a pigeon? Has a number 128 tag on its right foot. He came and made himself very comfortable at our flat. He's quite friendly.

PM me if you've lost a pigeon. Could be one of those racing pigeons. I don't know. It just looks better than a manky, you know, standard sort of manky pigeon. Is it fat? Who's fat? No, I was just going to say because aren't the racing ones or the homing ones slender? No, this one's pulled his neck back in. No one looks

good when they grip their neck back in. It's like when you hunch over and it makes you look like way more fatter. Yeah, oh yeah when they grip their neck back in. It's like, you know, when you hunch over and it makes you look like way more fatter. Yeah. Oh yeah, when you sit and like not great posture. Instagram models are like,

see, even we can be fat and they're just like, oh yeah. If I squeeze myself right out and like bend over and you like shoot me from an upward angle, see, we're all fat on the inside.

Yeah, you had to work hard at that. Yeah, you really had to put, you had to put as much work into looking fat as I had to look into putting skinny. Yeah, you had to work hard at that. Yeah, you really had to put as much work into looking fat as I had to look into putting skinny. Yeah, bugger right off. So if you've lost a pigeon, that is to be found. And in

the People's Independent Republic of New Brighton, Gabriel writes, guys, terrible news. There's a beached seal one kilometre south from the peel. There's got to be something we can do. The poor thing's still alive. Beached seal. Thatre south from the peel. There's got to be something we can do. The poor thing's still alive. Beached seal. That's not funny.

Oh, wait. Hang on, Megan's just got up. Megan's just worked out that seals can go on both land and water. If an eel can do it, a seal can do it. I'd imagine the poor guy's going down with his bucket, trying to pour water over it. And it's like, oh, oh. That's just what I imagine a seal bark's like.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, oh. I don't know. Those are today's community notices. If you see anything on your local Facebook page, screen cap it and send it to ours, FEMZM on Facebook. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights. The key to tradition.

While it's back for 2018. Last year, we wanted to find your favourite fast food, the cheeseburger. Beat out Nuggies in the final to win your hearts and your votes. And the title, last year, this year, it's the Kiwi Treats Edition. We are looking for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat. Yeah, things either born and bred in New Zealand

or sort of adopted as our own because we love them so much. Things that we've grown up with that we just love eating. Well, here are the results. And the South Island, oh, they will be feeling it today because in round one, cheese rolls have been beaten by the chippy sandwich two to one. Two to one ratio. 39, well, roughly two to one.

39% of people voted for cheese rolls. 61% voted for the chippy sandwich. And this isn't like 10 votes. We've had thousands and thousands of votes. I'm willing to accept a feed on the cheese rolls. I also like a chippy sandwich.

People said, does this chippy sandwich have Vegemite on it? Or Marmite? And we talked about this in our meeting and we thought either saying Marmite have Vegemite on it? Or Marmite? And we talked about this in our meeting and we thought, either saying Marmite or Vegemite might put people off, given how passionate they are. It's how you like it. It's how you would eat a chippy sandwich in your mind.

I mean, primarily your ingredients are white bread, butter and chips. Yep. Do you want to zhuzh it up with a bit of lettuce? Or a bit of Marmite? What? Lettuce? No, it's weird. It adds a texture.

No one's eating a chippy. No, trust me. A little crisp piece of fancy lettuce. Does a bit of marmalade. What? Lettuce? No, it's weird. It adds a texture. No one's eating a chippy. No, trust me. A little crisp piece of fancy lettuce. Did he put mayo on it? Fancy lettuce. You can't even want. Yeah. Who are you?

Fancy lettuce guy. I grew up on iceberg lettuce. I had enough. I've had a life full of iceberg. I deserve fancy. I have had a lifetime of iceberg. I prefer an iceberg. Okay.

You're crazy. What about that big white crunchy bit at the bottom of every leaf? Chippy sandwiches are winning out there over cheese rolls. Yep. The next competition yesterday was pineapple lumps versus minties and no surprise, pineapple lumps romped home. Megan, you were like... 83% of the vote.

Yeah, you were like in that tiny percent of people. I feel like I just want to go for the underdog sometimes. I was for the minties. Good like travel lolly, chewy, last ages, gives you fresh breath. Yeah, but fruit I was for the Minties. Good, like, travel lolly. Chewy, last ages. Gives you fresh breath. Yeah, but fruit bursts are better than Minties. No, but Minties is like kiwi.

Yeah, but people voting for the people they feel sorry for is how ACT keeps getting into Parliament, Megan. And it's a dangerous game to play. And then David Seymour's on Dancing with the Stars. It's a slippery slope, Megan. It's a slippery slope. But he tries so hard. I know, that's the problem.

So Minties's is gone, along with the cheese roll, eliminated from the competition. The next eliminated contestant, and surprisingly, the Juicy, out after round one, losing to the Choc Bar. 75% of people voting for the Choc Bar. Maybe it was an unfair match. Maybe the Juicy needed to go up against something of a drink. No, it's a frozen treat.

Well, it's death. It's knockout death, this kind of competition, isn't it? Once you're out, you're out. Goodbye, Juicy. This is the closest from day one, the competition. This is the closest, the one that had people really riled up. It was the creamy donut. Yeah.

Well, the creamy D as it became affectionately known. Yeah. In day one versus the lolly cake. A real, which one am I going to get? Because I'm at the bakery and I've got a chicken roll or a pie and a sausage roll, but now I need a little sweet treat to finish it off. Oh, it's so- It was so close.

Yeah. 52% to 48%. So 4% in it. The closest one yesterday. So the lolly cake will go through along with the chippy sandwich. Yes. And the choc bar. The pineapple arms and the choc choc bar.

We have another couple of rounds today. Choc choc choc bar. We have another couple of rounds. You can vote for these on our Instagram, FVMZM. Right now they're up. Yes. Today's rounds are, first up, K-Bar versus the $1 lolly mix. So it's whatever K-Bar flavour you like,

because I like a lime or a raspberry, or the purple one. I like all of them. Versus a $1 mixture. Current $1 mixture. You can't harp back to the nostalgic days of the 1990s where a $1 mixture was quite a heavy bag. Yeah. This is a dollar mixture

as it stands. Can be made up for, but there has to be at least one black jelly bean and one mint leaf in there because that's how... There's always a milk bottle. And teeth.

Yeah, there is. There's always teeth and what else? A banana? One of those bananas? Yeah, so the banana and the Eskimo, good.

I'm fine by them. Welcome. And maybe a gummy bear and a knockoff Jaffa. Because they don't have the actual... Right. They've got the knockoff lolly. You've got to remember, for every good lolly, there's at least two junk ones.

Yeah, there might be a jet plane in there. A boat. Probably a yellow one. Okay, versus the K-Bar. That is the first round you can vote at our Instagram, FEMZM on Instagram. They've been up for 10 minutes. What, early voting? Surely the K-Bar. That is the first round you can vote at our Instagram, FEMZM on Instagram. They've been up for 10 minutes. What, early voting?

Surely the K-Bar. I'm just going to refresh because I found that very surprising. The $1 Lollimix is beating the K-Bar 64% to 36%. I haven't voted yet. And the next round, this one could be a close one. Okay. It's the hot versus the cold, but both in the liquid variety. Blue Powerade versus Milo.

Blue Powerade, a Kiwi Hangover staple. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. One you enjoy a lot when you're younger. One is like essential when you're older. But I wouldn't go a Milo now. I'd always do a Blue Powerade Hangover. That's what I was saying. Yeah.

But the Blue Powerade's a friend in need, is a friend indeed, whereas a Milo's just one of your comfort buddies. But it was always there when you were a kid, wasn't it? Milo. Milo. Six teaspoons in your cold milk. Oh, okay.

Okay, well. Completely up to you. You need to vote now on our Instagram, FVMZM. We've got another round coming up a bit later this morning as we look for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat next. Waking up to news that if you buy anything online

under $400 very soon there will be a 15% GST tax, like we pay for things that we buy in New Zealand, applied to those purchases. Yeah, that's... I've got some questions.

Whose job is it to apply it? Is it a retailer overseas that sees, oh, I'm sending it to New Zealand and now I know international rules mean I have to... Let's cross to the news desk now, intern Anyanya, fan of T3 public transport lanes. Stop. What's the latest on this from the news desk? So, it's cross to the news desk now, intern Anyanya, a fan of T3 public transport lanes.

Stop. What's the latest on this from the news desk? So it's going to be collected by the retailer, so whoever you buy from. So this actually was introduced to Netflix and Spotify a little while ago. And yeah, it's going to be now on those lower value goods. Anything under $400, so like your Amazons, your ASOS, your books online, anything like that, 15%.

So the prices will just go up slightly and you'll just buy it and then get it. And you've paid a tax. You're not going to get a bill. It's not like when you buy something over $400 and they stop it at the airport or the customs and then they're like you've got to pay this and then we'll release it.

So what happens to goods over $400 then? So that already applies. Yeah. Yeah. So that's already in action. So it's not going to get stopped at customs. Because you guys would quite often buy stuff in single packages. Yeah.

So it doesn't get stopped at customs. So it doesn't get stopped at customs. But now are you better just to, and I mean, look, I'm just spitballing some fraud ideas here. Oh, go on. Do you think this is going to make people buy stuff over $400 and risk it? I mean, look, I'm just spitballing some fraud ideas here. Oh, go on. Do you think this is going to make people buy stuff over $400 and risk it? Because half of that stuff's not even stopped, is it?

I don't know, though. Like, if you just wanted to get a cheap book for $30 or $40, you're probably not going to be like, all right, let's pay over $400 to risk it, you know what I mean? Like, if you're just getting those odd random items or odd random dresses, you're probably just going to keep cruising. Yeah. I've never seen Megan so downtrodden and upset. It's just, I don't know.

I don't have an argument for it because we're supposed to be paying it, aren't we? And it's good for small businesses in New Zealand. Well, it is. It's good for the retailers and that's why they're doing it. And before you start saying taxinders, this is taxinders' fault,

this was actually Crusher Collins put this forward last year. God damn it. Sorry. Apparently it's going to be about $180 million, they reckon, a year. Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you sit on, because as you said, it was set up by one and initiated, put into place by the other.

It's got to be good for New Zealand business if it means more people are spending more money here. I know that, but it just sucks for me to have a selfish moment. Even if you're buying from overseas, you're still contributing in a way to this. Well, yeah, and all these huge companies aren't paying that much tax here anyway, so it's kind of good that we're getting something in.

Yeah. Megan's like, I'm going to make my shoes more expensive. Yeah, it will though. Yeah, I'm just, when does it come in? It won't come until the 1st of April next year.

So make it rain. That's right, right? This stuff has to start happening at the start of the financial year. Do you know, Anya? Does it take a while? No, so they haven't actually made the official announcement yet.

It's going to come out from the government today. Oh, they reckon it's going to come out from the government today. Oh, I didn't know it was going to come out today. Yeah. Official announcement today. There's a leak in Parliament. Someone's letting out the goss. A mole.

Okay, we've got a mole in Parliament. Yeah, we've got a mole. So wait, when you say they're going to announce it today, is it like going to go on today? No, no, no. Okay, so it's still got a window. They've got to talk to the retailers. Sign papers and do things. Amazon and say, look, this

is going to happen when. So you've got a bit of time for your under $400 purchases. Good times. Which is probably not good news for our credit card debt either. Well, exactly. You'll spend the money to save the money, but then end up paying more with credit card interest. So... God damn it.

I like that both Megan and Anya Had to think for a moment At what you'd said there Vaughn And were like It's like Yeah Okay you're right No one wants me to win

In this world No one You're all out to get me It's like entertainment books Buy them Because it's good People are raising money They're fundraising right

And you can get Some discounts and stuff But don't buy An entertainment book Being like I'm going to save so much money because you're paying for something to spend money to save money. Then you're going out like four times a week.

Oh, we've got to go out because we've got the entertainment book. So let's just spend $100 to save $15 when we could have not bought this for $20. Anyway, that's a confusing thing. Just tuned out. You think you tuned out? The woman who tried to sell me one last week Got that sermon

She was like it's okay You can stop now I'll walk away Thanks We've done this test The DNA ancestry test Just for a bit of fun To find out like

What we're made up of You spit in a tube It gets sent away And they get your DNA out of it And then they match it to everyone else. There's like two and a half million people in ancestry. Base areas of DNA origin and what they can confirm. Yeah, and they give you percentages.

I'm 8% Spanish. You're a Viking. You're a Viking, aren't you? Yeah, like 20% Viking or something. Just why you were so good at rowing. Yes. Yes. Thank you for saying I was good at rowing.

Well, you went. It's debatable. You went to Marty, didn't you? Yeah. So a woman in Hamilton has done one of these DNA tests because she was adopted and she wanted to know, like, her makeup, where she was from. Oh, my God.

That would be if you were adopted and didn't have. Think about that. That would be insane. Yeah. Well, because for us it was just a bit of fun, but... And we kind of knew, well, my parents have all got family tree stuff, so we all, you know, there was no great surprises in my... Yeah.

I mean, looking at me, you probably thought this guy's definitely got some Persian blood in him, but... Not an ounce. Not an ounce. Not an ounce, yeah. I had to give back my Persian rug. That's how little Persian I had in me. We wondered why you tanned so well. The cat, the rug, all things Persian had to give back my Persian rug. That's how little Persian I had in me. We wondered why you tanned so well.

The cat, the rug, all things Persian had to go. So she knew she was part Irish and Swedish on her mum's side. So she got one of these tests done and it came back with that she was 61% European, 20% Irish, 14% Scandinavian. Is that Viking? Yeah. And 4% British and 1% Eastern European.

Now she, I don't know why, but she just decided to do another one. She was like, I'm going to go to a different company. I'm going to see. What's the other one? What's the other big one? My Heritage. Right, okay. And she did Ancestry New Zealand were the two that she did.

Right. So she paid, did the cheek swab, sent it off, and my oh my were they different. She got two completely different results. How's that, how's that, how different? What else was in the, what was in the second one that wasn't in the

first one? She was almost 80% Northern and Western European. She, I think the biggest difference is 2.1% African and 1.3% Nigerian. So completely different.

That changes those emails about a Nigerian member of my family dying and wanting to leave me millions. It could have been a thing. The first one here is European, Scandinavian, Great British. Very vanilla. Second one here is European, Scandinavian, Great British. Yep. Very vanilla. Very vanilla, yeah. Second one, Western European, Eastern European, African and Nigerian.

Wow, okay. Explain. Yeah. Is there a photo up there? Like, which? Had she just been kissing somebody before she cheek-swapped? Could that work? I don't know.

Because it's like on saliva and stuff. If you've been really, really tonguing. She just looks like a, like, I guess maybe I'm sure. 2% is next to nothing. Yeah, that's true. She's not going to, you know, look in the mirror and be like, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah, right.

No, but it's not, I mean, it's not that. It's just the fact that the places were all completely different. How is that possible? No, but it's because they put your match against their database, don't they? Oh, so their database is different. If their database is different and has a lot of Europeans compared to, say, I don't know, Americans or Africans, I don't know. So the best one to go for would be the one with the biggest database then.

Right. Because it would be on a larger scale. Because my wife did it and she's an ethnic hottie. There's no other way to put it. I was trying to on the spot think of a different way to say it. Certainly not intended to cause offense to anything, anybody. She's always been an ethnic hottie. Well, when she got her results back, I just got so much more than I bargained for.

Because I thought I had Thai Chinese. I had Nepalese Indian. I just got so much more than I bargained for. I thought I had Thai Chinese. I had Nepalese Indian. I had Indian Indian. I had a little Eastern. Why are you saying I had? Oh, you. No, she had. But by proxy, I get it.

I get a little UN kickback. She had sort of like Southern Asian. She had a bit UN kickback. Yeah, right. She had sort of like Southern Asian. She had a bit of Middle Eastern. She had 6% Polynesian. Do you know the best thing about this? I think that like anyone who's like severely racist should do this.

They did this show in America. They did this. They got people who were like horrendously racist and traced back there. You're a little bit Nigerian. Yeah. And there was an episode of this. What was it on? Was it History or Discovery?

And some guy who traced back his ancestry and he was like, you know, they were slave owners and there's nothing wrong with that. That's just what happened. It turned out he was actually the offspring of the slave owner sleeping with the slave. And so he was both slave and slave owner in the past. What did he say about that? He wasn't happy. He was not happy. So I've talked a little bit about it lately, but I've been cleaning out the garage and it's looking so good now.

All because we teased you about being a hoarder. Yeah, well Megan started it by saying I'm a pack rat. See, a little bit of teasing does you good. Yeah, and then you know, Sade's like, oh, I can't get the car out or something like that. I'm like, well that's just, she's not as good a backer

as I am, precision. Oh, shots fired. But, you know, it was a bit messy, so I've decided to clean it out, and it's looking really good now. You proud? You proud of it? I'm actually quite proud of the,

I've got a little work bench for the first time. I can do little work things. I don't know what yet. What are you going to do on it? I don't know. Work of some nature. But during the cleanup process, I was like

I need to organise I need some shelves and I need I wrote a little list down on this piece of paper and I said to Shade yesterday I was like

I'm off to Mitre 10 and she was like okay and I waited nothing I was like oh I'm out of here so I went

because that's those big hardware stores are kind of like my Kmart you get in and you're like oh I didn't even know toilet brushes looked like that.

Three of them. Of like three. Oh my God. There is so much cool stuff in there though. But often if I go, I have to go, like we go somewhere with the family or the kids are there. But yesterday I was just by myself. I had a couple of hours and I just like went up and down every aisle and I was like. But you.

It was nice. You had some Sade for this. And to be fair, toilet brushes there would be way cheaper than it might have turned. At Kmart. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Well, it wasn't the toilet brushes because I put those back but boy, I had a blowout. I bought a belt sander. Why? Why do you need a belt sander? Well, I've got this dream

of getting into a bit more woodwork because I just... Did I show you the finished product of my barbecue table? You did. Did I send that to the group? No, you showed us on your phone. Did I show... No, no, I haven't shown you.

It's outside now. Look, it's got the barbecue in it. Oh, okay. That's very nice. I made that. Personally, I would have gone a darker varnish, but... You would have gone darker. It's too late now.

I would have gone lighter. I would have gone lighter. No, no. You needed to go darker there. Well, next project, guys. I'll go darker just for you. Did you make the wood bit on the bottom too? Oh, my dad did that.

But that's why, you know. I need to get into a bit more woodworking projects. You brought a sander for your woodworking, but all you did was varnish that. No, no, no, no, no. I sanded that and sanded all these legs and I sanded all this stuff. But you didn't build everything.

I helped him put it together. You what? He made it as a kit set and then I put it all together. I cut the holes and stuff. It was teamwork. Oh, your dad made you a kit set to put together. I know, I was really impressed. So anyway, I put a belt sander.

I bought two big shelves. I got carried away. And then I got home and I left it in the car. It was a real role reversal because that's what Sade does when she spends too much money. She leaves stuff in the car and she'll drip it in. She'll be like, why don't you play

some PlayStation or something? I'll be like, what have you got? What have you done? Because she knows she can just sneak it in item by item. I imagine her sneaking around the back of the house through the laundry. Yeah, through the laundry and up the stairs really quick. What are you doing? No bag!

But, yeah, so I left it all in the car and I came in and I was like, whew, I got a bit out of hand back there. She's like, yes, I know. I was just looking at online banking. Oh, that's the worst. But she wasn't snooping. She was just like paying bills. And she's like, heck, there's a bit on the credit card.

That's what I've told you guys. You guys need your secret bank account. So when you need to bust them over and escape. Yeah, escape the country. So now she said, okay, that's okay. That's what she said. Yep. It's okay.

Which means it's going to come up in an argument in six months time. Or she's already got something she's hiding from you. Yes, that's what I thought. Or she knows what she wants to spend some money on and she'll be like, yeah, well you ain't going to mind a ten that time.

That's not what she sounds like. And she's like, let's just rein it in though. No more, no more sort of unsupervised trips. So she'll go with you next time. Which is so bad because she's like,

I'm bored. I want to go back to the car. I'm like, you go back to the car and then it's text messages. How long are you going to be here? What are you even looking for in there? I said, I don't know until I find it. I'm aimlessly wondering. That's what mine of 10 and Bunnings is like.

You can just wander around and you're like, oh my God, that's a thing. Who knew I needed this, but I do. I know. It's a giant pot. Some other stuff that I didn't know I needed. So I understood it, but now there's a temporary supervision order in place for any large-scale hardware

store shopper. Well, you're lucky. I've got a permanent supervision for anywhere. Really? So you're just not allowed to go? If I was like, I need to go to Kmart, he'd be like, why? What are you gonna get? And I'm like, oh, I'm just gonna have no, I'm not allowed to go at all by myself, ever. Having a look is dangerous. You're 100%

not allowed to go for a look. So what if you needed something for the house? He has to come with me. Hey, when have you ever been to Kmart for a look? No one walks out of there with nothing. People go for a look all the time, but yeah, no one just has a look.

The intention might be a look, but there's not really, no one just has a look. Three hour facial wipes? Okay. The intention might be a look, but there's not, very rarely is the end of it a look. I'd like to know, on the back of this supervision order that's been in place for two members of the show and somebody else

doesn't have anybody to put in the supervision. Well, I just do what I want, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Free agent. Living the dream. Where are you not allowed to go unsupervised?

Or have you got any sort of like shopping rules in place? Yeah, I'd just point out for those that maybe have just tuned in now, this is about shopping, not like if you've got a court order. We don't go to the pools anymore because of the thing that happened with the nudity and the bum. When your pants

fell off when you got out of the pool. We don't want those calls. So shopping, whereabouts are you not allowed to go unsupervised? Maybe your partner's put in a shopping ban? We're talking about where you've got a supervision order in place. It's shopping-wise that you can't go unattended. You can't control yourself.

Your partner's banned you from somewhere. Some text messages in. And this, I'd say, would be quite popular. My partner isn't allowed to go to hunting and fishing alone, as he always buys new guns and fishing rods, and somebody else said, I'm not allowed to go to hunting and fishing

because last time I came over with a crossbow. Oh, my God. Daryl, I've told you. Those are scammies. Daryl, there better not be a crossbow slung across your back. Oh, my God. It is, isn't it? It is, isn't it, Daryl?

You bought a crossbow, you bought the sling, and yes, it does look cool, Daryl. It looks very cool. But we live in an apartment in Wellington Central. What are you going to do with a crossbow? Shoot pigeons.

Fair call, Daryl. Great purchase. I don't know why I raised my voice. Make sure you tie some string on those arrows so you can pull them back in. But I love going

to outdoor stores like Mac Pack, Catmando. They're so cool. Hunting and fishing. I mean, I'd probably buy a gun, but again, I live in an apartment. I don't need one. You don't need a gun.

I want a gun, but I don't need a gun. I want one. Fletch, you might be able to shed some light on this. This is a New Plymouth story. Okay. There's a great little coffee shop. Shopee Pop. There's a great little coffee shop

in the heart of New Plymouth that I'm not allowed to go to anymore because they sell Frisbee golf Frisbees. Couldn't excuse the fact that I was spending $60 on a coffee shop on the regular. Wait, what? There's a coffee shop that sells Frisbee golf Frisbees. Frisbees? You're just a moccaccino and three of your finest Frisbee golf Frisbees. But how many Frisbee golf Frisbees does one need?

I don't know because they're not like golf balls. Surely you'd buy one. And then just the next day you'd get a mocker without the Frisbee. Apparently they couldn't say no to the Frisbees. Excuse my ignorance, but how are they different to normal Frisbees? They have the hole. They have just a ring, aren't they? Oh, just a ring.

Frisbee, Frisbee. They look legit. I've always wanted one. A Frisbee golf Frisbee. No, they're ordinary Frisbees No You're not talking about those Remember in the 90s

Where they took the middle Out of the Frisbee And you could Yeah, I'm talking about those ones That's what they use For Frisbee golf, isn't it? I'm pretty sure Neither of those

Use standard flying discs Oh, those other ones are rubbish How weird is it Saying Frisbee so often? Yeah, and also Someone tell me where that is Because next time I'm visiting the parents

I'll go along And buy a Frisbee moccaccino. Whereabouts do you even play Frisbee golf on your planet? You'd have to find a park, wouldn't you? I don't know. Good question. Oh, yeah, it's got one. It's got one at Maryland's Domain.

Does that make sense to you? You can play there. Yeah, yeah. Disc golf. Disc golf, okay. Because obviously Frisbee is a copyrighted term. Hannah, whereabouts has your partner banned you from shopping? The supermarket.

Like any supermarket, I cannot go without my partner because he knows I'll go down the cleaning aisle and I'll want to pick out everything. And it's not only just the cleaning aisle. The aisle with all the shampoos and stuff. Me too. The beauty aisle. Yeah, I'm like, I definitely need this exfoliant.

Do you know what I need? An eye cream. Yeah, I'm like, oh, that facial smells good. I think I need another one. And you know what you can never have enough of? Janola. Gosh, we need some more Janola. The bigger the bottle, the better.

Spray and wipes. Silvo. I might need to clean the Silvo where we don't own yet. Those two aisles can push just a quick trip or your weekly shop through the roof. Like if you have one of those shops where you all of a sudden coinciding, you need new toothpaste. Oh, yeah. Everything. Have I changed my toothbrush in a while? No, I don't think so. roof. Like, if you have one of those shots where you all of a sudden, coinciding, you need new toothpaste, new everything. Have I changed my toothbrush in a while? No, I don't think so.

Let's grab a couple more. I've audibly gasped when I got to the checkout and there were like a hundred and some of you. Oh! Hey, thanks for your call, Hannah. Jared, where are you banned from shopping? The warehouse. Oh, Jared, what do you go crazy on there?

Well, it's just a recent one, actually. I went to get a baby gate and some draw clips to sort of baby proof the house a wee bit. Yeah. And I walked out with a baby gate, draw clips, door latches, door guards, all sorts of stuff. All those things you didn't know you needed, like Vaughan at Mighty 10. But that is so, that's so cute. You're a dad. You want to make it all safe and you want to... Yeah, you're nesting. Yeah, yeah, you're nesting.

Yeah, yeah, that's the one. And I'm sure like... Chuck a few onesies in there, did you? Well, not onesies, but I got some clothes. Yeah, good on you. See, that is so cute because you hear from lots of women that were like, oh, he never puts in any effort when it comes to buying the baby things. Look at you going the complete opposite.

Jared, thanks for your call. Yeah, I went over the top. Good man. Jared, thanks for your call, mate. No worries. Some other text messages. I'm not allowed to go to the SBCA because every time I go, I bring back an animal and then I spend the whole night crying about the ones

that I couldn't bring home. So I'm banned because I keep bringing home animals but also because it emotionally wrecks me for a day. Lots of people say I'm not allowed in Briscoes unsupervised. They always have a sale though.

They got me the other day. Yeah. I was waiting for a couple of things and I was like, all right, it's half price. I'll get it. But somebody said I'm not allowed to go to Briscoes unsupervised

but I start my new job at Briscoe's and supervise, but I start my new job at Briscoe's very soon. That would be like being a drug addict and then getting a job at the drug factory. Getting a job with Walter White. All right, welcome to day one here at the drug factory. Anything we should know about you, Steve, before you start? No, I know. Oh, I guess I've got one question. Where do you keep the drugs?

So we are searching for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat. Now, it doesn't need to be something that is necessarily New Zealand made. We're just touching on those things that we've grown up with and just come to love. Yeah. So it could be a Kiwi icon. It's a special little place in our being

and our soul and our very New Zealand-ed-ness. Now, you can vote on these right now on our Instagram, FBMZM. We've got our results from yesterday's. Yeah, just really quickly, the cheese roll fell to the chippy sandwich. So the chippy sandwich goes through the next round and thanks cheese roll for coming.

But the South Island regional classic wasn't enough to dethrone the mighty chippy sandwich. And Lolly's pineapple lump took on Minty's because, you know, Minty's are a bit of a Kiwi classic, as are the pineapple lumps. 17% of people voted for Minty's, so ta-ta Minty's,, pineapple lumps. Sad. RIP minties. Choc bar

beats Juicy. So Juicy's whilst they refreshed us on many a hot summer day after we chewed a little hole in the corner of the packet and sucked all the flavour out. They weren't enough to dethrone the mighty choc bar and that advances through, but the closest from yesterday's and a victor for the people

who enjoy a malt biscuit and a sweet and condensed milk can with some coconut and some Eskimo lollies cut up. The lolly cake beat the cream donut. The cream donut, the bakery classic, now out of the competition and lolly cake advances to the next round. I had people messaging me on Instagram and Snapchat yesterday saying, thanks, you've made me eat a donut. That's what I was thinking. And lolly cake.

You ain't seen nothing yet, baby. We've got some things coming up that are going to blow your mind and blow your diet as well. I'm happy that the lolly cake won. I mean, I love the donuts as well, but lolly cake was just so good. Love a bit of lolly cake.

Today's fights we announced last hour are the $1 lolly mix versus the K-Bar. And at current voting, the K-Bar being beaten by the lolly mix. I would have thought K-Bars were a tooth-ripping Kiwi classic. Next up, and this is pretty close as it stands, the Blue Powerade versus Milo. Milo, the hot, warm friend on a cold night or morning, whereas the Blue Powerade's always got your back

when you feel like you're going to spew in your bed. The Blue Powerade, not enough, though. Milo winning with 56% of the vote. Are you kidding? But still pretty close. It's so versatile. You can have it cold. You can sprinkle it on your rice

as if mum won't buy Cocoa Pops. Because we were pov, we had Milo on rice bubbles. Yeah. Yeah, like you're like, good stuff. Because we didn't do Cocoa Pops. That's what I mean, we had Milo on rice bubbles. Yeah. Yeah, like your way. Good stuff. Because we didn't do Coco Pops. That's what I mean.

It's versatile. Back in the old days where Milo had a forced out health rating. Somehow. Somehow. All right. These are the next two rounds. So the last two of today's four battles, you can vote for these at our Instagram page, FMZM on Instagram.

The pottle of hot chippies. Specifically the pottle. That kiwi pottle The one that's yellow With red writing on it That says tasty and delicious Or however yours come The white one With the newsprint on it

With the red writing That says hot chips Classic Basically if it comes In a small cardboard pottle That is who you are voting for Versus the dairy pie Chippies though Nowus the dairy pie.

Chippies, though. Now, is the dairy pie like a Mrs. Max or a Big Ben? It's a pie you get from the dairy. Just any soggy, been in the warmer for five hours pie. Do the BP pies count, the wild bean pies? No. Because those are a next level pie. Okay, just your standard.

Question. Go on just your standard. Question. Go on. Go ahead. Do the hot chips have my chutney, Whitlock's chutney sauce on them? No. Get out. You want to pay 30 cents for one of those little squeezy things? You can, but at the moment, chips. Yeah, no.

The chutney sauce is always better. Yeah, but then the pie doesn't have sauce either. Yeah, both situations are BYO sauce, pie and hot chips. So you're having those foods as you like them in your head. Yeah, but then the pie doesn't have sauce either. Yeah, both situations are BYO sauce. Pie and hot chips. So you're having those foods as you like them in your head. Yeah. Against each other. And this next one

off early voting, I'm actually going to refresh this voting because this is almost too close to call. Oh, I just voted. Oh my gosh. It's exactly 50-50.

For the hot chips and pie. No, no, no, no. For the one I'm about to announce. The final one for today. Sour cream and chives grain waves versus twisties. 50-50. You voted for twisties, eh? I haven't voted yet.

There's been 1,200 votes on that, and there's 12 votes in it. Wow. I voted grain waves. Is it sour cream and chives? Sour cream and chives. Specifically sour cream and chives grain waves. Is it sour cream and chives? Specifically sour cream and chives grain waves. Not a salsa. Because to me, twisties are yum.

But they don't have enough of the flavour. Yeah, I feel like I'd go burger rings or cheese balls before I went twisties. I'm sorry. You're alone on your cheese balls. You love cheese balls. Sometimes I eat a whole pack and it burns the roof of my mouth. Yeah. I've got a problem, mate. Well, that's when you know you've had enough chips.

Because they don't fill you. Okay, well, we're not doing cheese balls. So it's, what were the results for the hot chips and pie again? Well, the hot chips and pie, as it currently stands, the hot chips are decimating the pie. Oh, 79. Yeah, 80% for the hot chips, 20% for the pie. And as, yeah, again, 50-50 with the Grown Waves versus Twisties.

You can vote for all of these as we, over the next few weeks, try to find New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat. What are we going to do to the end? Because you remember last year when the cheeseburger beat out Nuggies and Hot Wings and all of that? Well, I mean, this is the thing. We put on a shout at lunchtime. We did, and that was as simple as rocking up to a fast food outlet.

Paying $1,000. Yeah, and getting it done. But, like, for example, if, you know, the chips win, we're just going to have to buy heaps of packs of chips, I would imagine. And we'll just sit on the floor with tomato sauce. But what if lolly cake wins? We all need to buy the world's entire stock of malt biscuits.

We should make the world's biggest lolly cake. Yes. That'd be great. Alright, vote now. I've got a query. Re Facebook etiquette. Right. This popped up. Friend of mine overseas. At a wedding, I believe.

There's a photo put up of a group of people at this wedding. Okay. He's tagged in it, but he didn't upload the photo. And I have no connection to the person apart from this person in the photo, obviously. The person that uploaded the photo, I don't know them. Right, but it's appeared in your feed. It's appeared in my feed because a friend who I interact with, the algorithm's been like,

boom, Vonna want to see this because this is his buddy. And it's right. It's a great photo. Good to see them. But I do not know the person that posted this at all. Yeah. Are they in any state of undress? No.

Okay. No. Okay. Formal photos. So what's your etiquette question? How does everybody feel about me liking that photo? And then the next step would be commenting on that photo when I don't know the poster.

And that's going to become their issue. Yeah, right. they're going to be dealing with. No, that's okay. I've wondered about this though. Often like, yeah, that'll happen and you'll be like, oh well I don't know them so obviously that's whoever's been tagged and it's someone's friend. Yes, correct. Yeah, but you just

know that, don't you? As long as it's not something negative. I'd love to know what people think now. Text in 9696. So you don't, you think if it was negative you wouldn't like, say it's one of your really close friends and somebody else uploads a photo and you want to rag on them in the Kiwi Classic manner of bagging your best friends. So that's what I was going to say to you. You know how you write like sarky comments?

Yes. And not everyone understands. No, I have no idea about it. Why write sarky comments? And like you might be ringing on him. Not appropriate in this instance. Right. Because they don't know you.

Right. And they might take it the wrong way. Right. I feel like everybody's uploading these photos because they all want lots of likes, right? Well, this is spot on. They're not going to care if the person they've tagged in the photos friends are liking

because they're going to get more likes. Yeah. But what if they're sort of like a semi-private person? Does their profile have to be public for that photo to show up? Or when they upload it, you can click people tagged in friends. You can have friends or friends of friends. Right, or friends of tagged. Yeah.

Right. Okay. Producers, what do you think is the etiquette here? Caitlin? Nah, it's totally fine. Totally fine? Yeah. Because you want the likes?

So if you posted a photo of us and our friends liked it but you didn't know them, you wouldn't care because you're getting the likes? Well, yeah. I guess I don't really think of likes with Facebook. I'm more interested in likes on Instagram. But Facebook is just, yeah. And then you get to stalk the person that has taken the photo and you're like, oh, who's this?

But sometimes I like it You don't even realise that someone else has posted it You're like, oh, there's my friend And then you're like, oh, that didn't even come from that person But see, I'd like the photo I didn't in this particular photo that popped up Because it's like, oh, I've got no idea who that person is that posted it Right

Jane, someone's fallen Caitlin, what did you knock over? It's fine. It was just a cup and a spoon and a bowl. James, producer James. I think you're showing appreciation for the photo. I mean, it's a bit different. It can come from my side.

If I was to like a photo and say it was a random girl, put the photo up. In her bikini. That's why I asked. It can look a bit strange. They might be on the beach. They might be in bikinis. And I'm liking it.

And I might know one of the people. You might be appreciating beach. They might be in bikinis. And I'm liking it. And I might know one of the people. You might be appreciating the lovely Thailand location, though. Exactly. No, but I think if they're in any state of undress, then don't like it because you're a creep. Right. Anya? But what if you know...

I'm not appreciation. Okay, so what if your friend... I'm just thinking of Vaughn. Your friend... Oh. Oh, yeah, true. No, that's a good point, Megan. Yeah, true.

If you put up a picture of, like, girls in bikinis, but my friend put it up and tagged everyone in, and then Vaughn liked it, I'd be like, no. Oh, yeah. But are you up a picture of girls in bikinis, but my friend put it up and tagged everyone in and then Bourne liked it, I'd be like, no. Oh, yeah. But are you in the picture in a bikini? Yeah. Needless to say, I shouldn't be liking it. But I'd probably do a laughy face.

No, I wouldn't. But okay, no. So what if, okay, my friend who's tagged in it is ordinary, but the people that he's with are in bikinis. Creepy. It's even worse. Creepy, that's creepy. That's worse. Yeah, don the people that he's with are in bikinis. Creepy. It's even worse. That's creepy. That's worse.

Yeah, don't like that. So I don't like that. Even though I'm liking it for his presence, not the bikini. Message him and say, hey, that holiday looks fun. No. No, that's... Yeah, right. Right.

Anya? What's the etiquette here? So there's a lot of like subjective context is what I'm... Yeah. Yeah. Read the situation. Okay. I reckon it's fine, but it's always awkward though.

Like, say if I put up a photo of me, Caitlin and Megan, and then only Caitlin's mates come on and be like, Caitlin, you look so great. Yeah, that always happens. Oh, so I should wait if it's kind of like

a you guys look lovely. I've got to wait for somebody else that knows the original poster before I jump in and compliment my friend and not the original poster. Yeah, just go with group compliments.

Make us all feel beautiful. Oh, you guys all look great. But then you don't know me. Yeah. And you guys just see the floor. I'm thinking this whole situation though, majorly. Like, don't.

Oh, okay. I better go back and check on that photo and see if someone else has commented first before I make my comment. No, I'll get the notifications. Unless it's somebody's

new baby photo because then I'll comment and unfollow because I don't need a notification every time somebody says cute baby. I agree. Cute baby. Great. Fantastic news. But I don't need to hear everybody sayingollow because I don't need a notification every time somebody says cute baby. I agree, cute baby.

Great, fantastic news, but I don't need to hear everybody saying it. I don't need 100 notifications on that. I'm going to like the photo. It's going to be strange if a random guy's liking a photo and saying you guys look great and you don't even know the guy. Don't comment.

Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, don't comment. Yeah. No comment. No comment, but a like? Like. I'm going to give it a like. Unless they're in bikinis.

Oh, no, I've hit heart. I've hit heart. I've hit heart. That's crazy now. That's an extent. No, see, no one's in a state of undress. Look, it's just a wedding party, but I can't click love. I can't click love.

If it's a wedding, you're allowed to click love. But you don't die. I've unclicked like and like and love like four times. Is that a notification every time? I think it just comes up once, doesn't it? Here's hoping. Mate, this is significantly more awkward than it needed to be. But I'm glad we've had this discussion.

Fact of the day, day, Carl Peter Fletcher. Me. And your latest little buddy, Kombucha. Oh, I love Kombucha. Kombucha. Fletcher's throwing in some Kombucha. So, Soundkeeper Gary, he's a bit of a fermenter as well. I do know I joined a Facebook page.

Oh, is there like a thing? You're a fermenter. There's a fermenter Facebook page. I joined it because you can share recipes and stuff. I knew you would. What? Join all the Facebook. Hey, can you ferment cabbage with a...

Oh, sauerkraut. Yeah, sauerkraut. I've been doing the sauerkraut. With a thingy, with a solo issue. With the what? The rubber thing. What's it called? Scooby.

Yeah. Scooby. Scooby-doo. I don't know if you use that, but you can buy these kits in like a lot of the homeware stores have them now. And yeah, you just weigh cabbage down and whatever you put in there. I don't know. And then it makes sauerkraut.

Yeah. It's healthy gut living. You're so hipster. Wow. Although my first batch of sauerkraut tastes like apple cider vinegar. Have you made sauerkraut as well? No. Kombucha. I said kombucha. No, you said sauerkraut. You said your first batch of sauerkraut tastes like apple cider vinegar. Have you made sauerkraut as well? No. Kombucha.

I said kombucha. No, you said sauerkraut. You said your first batch of kombucha tastes like apple cider vinegar. Ew. Yeah, too long. Left it too long. It's a learning process. Well, here's something for you.

Okay, here we go. Although numerous sources have claimed health benefits from drinking kombucha, there is no scientific evidence to support this. Unbelievable. Is that because none's been done? Nope. Well, it's been around for millions of years. No, there is no scientific evidence to support this. Is that because none's been done? Nope. Well, it's been around for millions of years. No, no, no. It's not millions of years. Back up by a few zeros, I reckon.

Millions of years. Yep. Billions. Like what? Tiny little cave-dwelling mammals were brewing kombucha. Why are you doing this to him? He's enjoying it. In fact, there is more adverse health effects from kombucha

than there is proven health benefits. Here we go. You wore your, like, arguing pants today, didn't you? I know. You're right, actually. Well, Arnie's not even talking to you because you're hassling her about the T3 lane. I'm just trying to make the traffic flow smoother. So adverse effects associated with kombucha consumption

include severe liver and kidney toxicity as well as metabolic acidosis, which is a condition that occurs when the body produces excessive quantities of acid or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. Right. So I'm going to die. Due to the acidity of the tea.

Right. And over fermentation. Now, some of the other deaths associated to kombucha is because... Kombucha. What is that? How do you say it? Kombucha. Kombucha.

That's how it gets said by me from now on. Okay. And I know I'm doing it wrong. Kombucha. Komb wrong. Kombucha. Kombucha. Yeah. Includes, due to the fact that you're messing with a Scooby-Doo, and that's a yeasty bacterial thing, isn't it?

They can go a bit rank. Right. And can poison it. Some guy died and they did the tests. Do we have to explain what kombucha is? Yeah, I think so. So how it works is a scoby. Which is like a bacteria.

A rubbery bacteria. Where did the scoby first happen? Aliens. Because that's what it looks like. Yeah, it does look like a floaty alien thing. It looks like a slimy thing you'd find in a bit of stagnant water. People are always hating on things, and they're always the ones smoking ciggies and drinking Codys.

You shouldn't do that. It's unhealthy. I've been drinking a Codys. People have been doing that for millions of years. Millions of years. You ignore Vaughan. If you're enjoying it, then you do it. Oh, yeah, I don't care.

But there's always these haters for things. Haters gonna hate us. Haters gonna hate us. It's just people say, oh, the proven health benefits of kombucha, but scientifically there's been no health benefits proved. Proven.

Here we go. Well, it's just yum. I just like it. You can't say, oh, that's fine. If it's yum and you like it, then that's fine.

But you just said before it tasted like apple cider vinegar and you went, mm, good gut health. Whereas, my friend, kombucha's got no scientific backing

Does that mean it's bad for your teeth? Because you're not supposed to knock back apple cider vinegar Mm, good gut health. Whereas, my friend, kombucha's got no scientific backing to prove that. Does that mean it's bad for your teeth? Because you're not supposed to knock back apple cider vinegar. It's bad for your teeth. Is it? Yeah. Everyone's always like, have a bloody swig of apple cider vinegar. Ask your dentist.

They'll cringe. Really? Oh, I'm not asking my dentist anything. There are always these ways like, you're not flossing. And I did. I did it this morning. What was the last thing you had to get done at your dentist? I had to get a crown.

You don't want to ask a dentist a question. That's the thousand dollar question. And why did you have to get a crown? Because my phalanx fell out and my tooth was eroding like a coastal cliff lapped by the waves. Or like a tooth bathed in acidic kombucha. Lapped by the sugary waves of lollies.

So today's fact of the day is despite claims, there's actually little to no scientific evidence that kombucha's healthy for you. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Sorry, I said healthy for you. I meant health benefits. It might be fine, but there's nothing...

I'm Googling. Somebody said there's no scientific proof that people can die from a broken heart, but they do. No, there is scientific proof for that, isn't there? It's stress. Yeah, you're stressed and your chemicals get all out of whack. I looked it up once. You can and your brain freaks out

and then your heart races and you die. Do you want me to wait for you while you're Googling or should I say... What are you Googling? What were you attempting to... I'm just trying to find the health benefits. Cute. You said you don't care. Just go with that.

Don't be mean to me. I'm not being mean to you. You didn't invent it. No, he's argumentative today. Cave dwelling mammals millions of years ago did. Just ignore him. He's argumentative. F.E.M.

Now, somebody ordered some takeaway food from a place. This is in the States. La Pochetta. La Pochetta. We've got a La Pochetta. We've got a La Pochetta. La Pochetta. They gave a review for this place on Yelp after they received their order.

This is what the review said. It was a one-star review. Oh, yeah. Tried this place based on the reviews and the fact that they had Zapolis on the menu. What are those? Zapolis. Zapolis. Tell me how it's called.

It's like a little dessert. Z-E-P-P-O-L-E-S. Like donuts? Yeah, maybe. Oh, yeah, they are. They're fried. Are they little donuts? A fried dough food.

Oh, yum. Well, she said, which you don't come by often. So ordered the cheeseburger as well, which was very dry and unseasoned. Also did not come with lettuce or tomato. But it came with cheese. All you've been promised in a cheeseburger is cheese. But you expect a bit

of zhuzhy stuff in there, right? No, I don't. If you order a cheeseburger, you just expect cheese, burger and mustard. Tomato. Unless otherwise specified. She then said that the little mini donuts, You just expect cheese, burger, and mustard. Oh, okay. Tomato. Well, anyway. But no, unless otherwise specified. She then said that the Little Mini Donuts barely had any powdered sugar on them

and were soggy from the styrofoam container. So one review on Yelp, and that is when the manager turned up at her front door because it was a delivery to say, What you doing with one star? Because apparently she was asked by the delivery driver to give them a review. So they obviously need reviews to get the business going. And so they had their address from the delivery. He said, oh, let's look and see who ordered the thing and the cheeseburger,

and then I can see where that went. So I'll just go around and he'll sort this out in person. Yeah. So it turns out. Yep. Come on. Hey, what are you doing? And just apparently just the manager of this place as well.

So I don't know. It doesn't even sound like he was the owner. Maybe he was just really into his job, really into the service, and he just took it a little bit too personal. But then, like, those reviews can shape whether or not you go to a place. Oh, totally. Yeah. I often think that when I read a TripAdvisor review

and it's a low rating because somebody did something wrong and it was the hotel's fault. So they're like, this hotel wouldn't... Yeah, but after a few, they kind of even out those kind of reviews, don't they? Yeah, I hope it doesn't put anybody off. So this is what I wanted to ask. Maybe you've been out somewhere. Maybe you've been at a restaurant or a cafe or somewhere

and you had a little complaint. Maybe you had some constructive feedback and somebody working there took it way too seriously. Oh, like took it personally? Took it personally. Oh, because when you said it before, I thought you meant like someone made a complaint and they like dropped everything to help you out.

No. But this is better. This is better. This is more drama-filled. Yeah, so I want to know when you've complained and someone took it way too personally. Like, they just work there. Like, who cares?

Yeah. It does feel like a personal attack, though. It can, though. And if you've had a long day, it can. Yeah. You're dealing with customers. It'd be awful, wouldn't it? Yeah.

All right. 0800DARLS.M, you can text 9696. If you want to talk about those times you've complained maybe about your food or your service and someone's taken it a bit too personal and they've got upset over it. Yeah. Some text messages in on it. We checked into a hotel in Hawaii. The service was really poor.

Later that day, I got this email saying, please rate your chicken experience. So I'd had a few Mai Tais. Full of Dutch courage, I wrote a review that included the worst possible rating and the next morning we woke up hungover to the phone ringing and it was a hotel manager asking why we'd given him such a bad rating

and how that reflects really poorly upon the phone ringing and it was a hotel manager asking why we were giving him such a bad rating and how that reflects really poorly upon the staff working and everything. I was like, well, you asked for feedback. You can't then hit me up about why I gave the feedback. I told you why. Oh, that's awkward. Yeah. I would never,

if someone gave me a really poor rating, I'd never call them. No. That's so confronting. I know. They obviously gave it to you because they felt it was awful. But then sometimes, because I use TripAdvisor a lot, I feel sometimes people are just a-holes for the sake of it.

Yeah, definitely. You definitely get that feel. Because, you know, people travel. They might travel 12 hours to get there and they're tired and grumpy and there's no rooms because it's before 2 o'clock. That's not their fault. But you can sometimes tell when you're reading it if they're having a real rant. You're like, oh, that was a bad day. Yeah.

It can't be that bad. Somebody messaged in saying, I won't name the restaurant, but we were going to make a complaint and somebody said, look on their Facebook page and see if this stuff happens often. So we looked on the Facebook page and surely enough it did. Lots of complaints, but every single one was met with the most abusive

reply from the owners saying they wouldn't know anything and shut your mouth and fine, don't come back, we don't want you. Like there's a trend there. You can't ignore that. No. Jessie. Hi, I had ordered some smoked salmon at a restaurant and I ate it,

but it was really smoky. Right. So I asked around the area. Wait, but isn't it meant to be smoky? Yeah. I felt like I'd been breathing in the campfire. Right, okay. Okay, so.

Right. Too much. Okay. And so after our meal, I just wanted to let them know. Well, I asked them, do you smoke your own salmon? And they said yes. And I said I'd like to speak to the chef or the manager just to let them know that it was really strong. Okay. And the manager cried. let them know that it was really strong. Okay.

And the manager cried. Oh, no. No. And what did you do? You're like, no, no, no, I'm sorry. Well, I apologise. I've worked in the food industry, so I know how much that

constructive feedback makes a difference. Yeah. So I really just, I've probably come across a little bit too strong, but yeah, he thought that I was attacking her and I said I don't want my money back, I don't want a new meal

I'm just letting you know. Yeah, I'm just letting you know that it's a bit strong. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there was something else going on that day. Yeah, it sounds like that was the last. It's been a bad night. Yeah, the school that broke the camel's back. And then you're, oh no. Hey Jessie, thanks for your call.
