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. I like how Jacinda Ardern and Hillary Clinton are catching up. Experts say they'll be speaking on gender equality. Just because they're two females in politics, They probably just want to just be like,

it's pretty full on. Everything. Start to end. All go. They'll definitely be talking about pregnancy, having children, gender equality

and other women's affairs. Pampons. Yeah. Period. Boobs. Oh, sure. Boobs. I've got some.

How are yours? When's the right time to go from long hair to short mum bob? Yeah. Oh, God. Also, Morrinsville in the news. I've got some how are yours when's the right time to go from long hair to short mum bob yeah oh god also Moran's still in the news

it's never in the news for anything good is it you know it's good good news doesn't sell bloody clicks

does it we got we got five new them fiberglass cows last month no one wanted to talk about that

one lunatic runs a truck into the police station in ultra dramatic fashion and having his tires shot out as he tries to escape to Morrinsville's neighbouring shithole Te Arawa. And everyone wants to talk about it. Do we know who this person was? Like, what was your dad doing yesterday? Nah, oh, no, it wasn't Ian. I talked to him on the phone.

I mean, just to eliminate him. I talked to him in bed. I said, hey, about this police station thing. He's like, yeah, but it can't have been that big a truck because it got under the... That's what I thought. Got under the reorning thing. Right.

Because he ran the police station, but yeah, the top bit wasn't... Yeah. That police station has had a facelift too since I was dragged in there as a 17-year-old for a scare. Because I said to my parents, I was like, that police station's moved. It looks different. They said, oh, no, they've just changed the front of it. Right. They've changed the front of it and

some bugger's going to run a truck into it. Rude. Alright, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Alright, I've sourced three news headlines for interesting unusual quirky weird news stories from around the globe. You've got to

pick one headline out of the following three. Headline one, family not happy with dad stripper's share of the will. Headline two, two-fifths of people aged 65 to 80 are sexually active. How many? I'll just let that sink in. Two-fifths.

Two-fifths. Of how old? 65 to 80? Yep. That's actually depressing. Two-fifths. Half how old? 65 to 80? Yep. That's actually depressing. Two-fifths. Well, yeah, but under half of their partners will be dead. Say, like, 35%. Then get another partner. Well, that's why rest times are so risky.

You can't give up. You can't. No, I won't. Maybe their brain doesn't give up, but their... It does. You get pills for that now, though, can't you? Right. Headline three. A woman wakes up with nine-day nightmare.

Those are the headlines today. I think three on the nine days story three, is that the woman with the thing in her ear? Yes, it is. Yeah, I want to talk about that later in the program. Okay. So I shan't be picking three. Okay.

So a dad stripper. Yeah, I think that's the only, I mean. Unless you want to talk about old people doing it. Old people doing it. Not at this time of the morning. People are eating cereal. Not enough of them though. That's sad.

You know, when you're a kid, you're like, ooh, yuck. The closer you get to that age. You're still like 30 years away, but you're a kid, you're like, ooh, yuck. The closer you get to that age, granted, I'm still like 30 years away, but you're still like, God, one can only hope. Use it before you lose it. Yeah. Yeah, right. Okay, we go to America now.

And a former stripper received the tip of a lifetime when she received a six-figure inheritance from a former client and a friend whom she'd only met months before his death. Now, she is Veronica Beckham. She's 34. She met an HBO executive, Mickey, back in July 2014 at an

Atlantic City strip club. The pair became friends and according to her, the stripper, Beckham, I think she's, apparently she's left stripping now and she's a fashion designer. Wow, yeah, you get that sort of deposit in the back account. So, according to Beckham,

she described their relationship as an everlasting friendship in court documents. Now, the man who has since passed, he suffered from diabetes and heart disease. What did you say his name was? I'm just going to look him up on IMDB. Mickey Lou, L-I-U. Now he died less than a year later

at the age of 50 because he was described in court documents as obese. Right. And yeah, the family obviously not happy that she was the beneficiary of his retirement accounts and life insurance policy so she ended up getting 223,000

US dollars. Well, he can leave it to whoever he wants, really, can't he? Well, he can, and so the family challenged it in a Manhattan court, and the court have sided with her.

Wow. And apparently, yeah, she says the relationship was never ever sexual, and that they were friends. Well, if it wasn't sexual, why would you entrust it to a... I don't know, maybe he liked hanging out with her.

He saw something in her. Well, maybe she was a better friend to him than his family were. You'd have to ask that question, wouldn't you? Yeah. Otherwise, he would have left it to the family. I'm just looking. I can't see anybody because I looked on IMDB. By that name, who would have had six figures to throw around?

He might have been in sales or something. He did producing and stuff, but yeah, maybe more of a sales sort of thing. Some executive. He could have been in the accounts department and not on IMDB. But yeah, so that's gone in her favour. So you're saying we should all grind up on some older, maybe slightly obese men, make friends, and we too could get a big payout. Yes. That's exactly what. The key there being they're obese men because the skinny rich guys, they'll last longer.

Yeah. So you have to put in more of an effort. Oh, you mean last longer life-wise, not life-wise. I thought you meant in the grind. No, no, definitely not. Okay, good. No, definitely not. That's fine.

We've talked about this before. Do you shower in the morning or at night? Because we get up quite early. I always shower at night. I do too. I just do it before I go to bed and then straight out the door in the morning. Yeah.

I do both. Always have. But this is why you're always late for work because how long do you spend in the shower. Yeah. Otherwise, both. Always have. But this is why you're always late for work, because how long do you spend in the shower? Not. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, in the weekend, if I'm feeling extra, I'll do both. Like, if you've got time and...

Yeah. But if I don't, it's always at night. Okay. Now, a dermatologist has weighed into this and has kind of said which is preferable for your skin and for your health. They have said washing your body and face at night is important for your skin health. Because especially during spring and summer, you get sweaty and you get pollens and allergens all over your skin, like pollutants and everything. It's important to wash it off at night when you go to bed. There's also research

from Harvard University that says when you shower at night, it can help you sleep because it makes you relax. So, night time... That's a good point, actually. It is quite a relaxing thing to do just before bed. Yeah. Kind of just gets your body all just like ugh. Yeah. Because now you have a

nice hot shower. Yeah. And then you relax. And better for your skin. Better for your skin. Because if you shower too much, you're losing the nice oils, your natural body oils, aren't you? Yeah.

Is that what they say? Yeah. Yeah. But also, if you don't shower at night, that's super grim because then you're like lying in your own filth.

You're festering in the filth that you've acquired throughout the day. But not only that, it's like no one changes their sheets every day. So you're like lying in your own filth. You're festering in the filth that you've acquired throughout the day. But not only that, it's like no one changes their sheets every day. So you're like putting that in your bed and then you're getting back into it the next day. Yeah. And the filth from that day and the filth from the day before.

If you're not showering at night, you'd be more likely to not change your sheets at like weekly, I reckon. Oh, if you're not. Imagine that. If you're not showering at night, you've got to change your sheets a lot more often. Yeah. But you won't. You wouldn't.

You're saying then you're not the sort of person that's likely to worry about changing your sheets. I'd say there'd be a bit of a correlation there. What you're saying is you're dancing around, but the nice way of calling someone a grim little piggy. Yeah, pretty much. Right, gotcha. So when you go on like a Tinder date

That can be one of your first questions Do you shower at morning Or shower at night? Shower at night Always Where's one of the first questions? Oh no Rocking like third question

You know What do you do? Even third question Megan I think like I know you've been Off the market for a while But that might be too quick Okay

Is it a second date Kind of question? Or like wedge it in at the end of the first date? Oh, well, that's been fun. Do you shower at night or in the morning? And how often do you change your sheets? And what do you sleep in? And do you sleep in undies or is it balls?

Straight on pyjamas. FEM. Found this story on Stuff, and this is the headline. And this is why I was like, shh, shush. Don't tell everyone we do this trading in second hand air tickets flourishes thanks to patchy airline ID checks

oh yeah just like shh don't talk about it they'll change the rules yeah not that I've ever done it but I've never done it either but I know that producer Kate the producers because you often you're often heading down to Christchurch, Caitlin. And so if you don't know what this is, there are several Facebook pages set up.

I'm only joint to one. I only know of one. And what's that one called? Flight Swap. Oh, nah. Nah. Stitches against stitches. It's called... Are you trying to make up a name?

Yeah It's Flight Swap or something It's called Flight Central Australia Flight Switchy Poos Okay, let's just say it's called Flight Switchy Poos And you join this group And say you had a flight from Auckland to Christchurch You couldn't make it

You'd then go on this page and list it And then someone would buy it off you Yeah, and you'd say Female, this is how much I pay for it. This is how much I want for it. Right. DM me or like reply below. So you've sold, what have you only sold flights or have you bought them as well?

I have only sold one flight and I had a bad experience and I'm not doing it again. What was the bad experience? The girl that bought them freaked out about it because she was like... Was it her first time? Yeah, yeah. And it was like I sold them for really cheap, but I was like, I'm not, like someone should have these because I bought them. I can't go.

Yeah. Someone should have them. So I put it up and I was like, hey. And then I got this DM from this girl and she's like, yeah, I'd love to. Send me your bank account details, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, cool. And then she emailed me like, well, mess blah, blah, blah. And I was like, cool. And then she emailed me, like, or messaged me, like, literally the day of flying.

Was like, oh, my God, I've just realised I can't change the name and they're not going to know it's not me. And I was just like, this is not. Don't freak it out, man. Don't freak it out. And you grab them and you slap them and you're like, pull yourself together, Johnny.

We're not going to rob this bank once. And I was just like, oh, look, love, this is kind of, like. Look, love. No, but you know me. Like, I have conflicts. Hey, sweetheart. G'day, love. No, but you know me. I have conflicts. Hey, sweetheart. I gave her her money back.

I was like, it's okay. I just was like, get me out of this situation. Right. Oh, God. And you've done the Sanya? Bad experience. Yeah, I've sold one as well. It was a couple of years ago,

but yeah, it was just under Christchurch as well. I couldn't make the flight no more, and I was like, I want $50. So somebody flies as you. Yeah, so as Caitlin said, you put up like F or M. But what if you sell it to some loony who makes a mid-flight religious statement while screaming and taking their shirt off and rubbing their blood on their chest? That's less than ideal.

Because then you're blacklisted. And a hen vest. Blacklisted from flying. Because of the blood on her burpees thing she did while screaming. Screaming about God's wrath taking us all to hell. You kind of search them. Like if they DM

you, you can see them on Facebook. Are they pretty? Do they look like that? No. You're just like, are they kind of normal? And then if they've got mutual friends then that's like fine. That's good too. Because this article says obviously it's illegal and that airlines are required to know who's on board.

So if there's an accident. Yeah, I've never done this, by the way. Like I just made up that story for the radio. I always make up stories for the radio. Oh yeah, you definitely did, didn't you, Caitlin? No, that was, no. No. Definitely not.

Do not always say. But then I think it's the airline's fault. Like if they had a fee of $20 or $10 to change a name. They don't even let you change names. They don't. 100%. That's the way around it. Let somebody change the name.

Oh, can you not? No, you have to buy a whole new thing. Oh, that's their fault. Their fault. Exactly. And I was trying to go as my brother-in-law Which is a man Yeah good on that Just off the bloody cross Stretched out

Wanted to get down there I'm transitioning Oh my god You can actually say that And they would just Leave you alone I know Because they don't want

To be employed And actually don't even Want to touch it now I don't think you want To make light of that But I just I just freaked out And so bought my own ticket

What? You don't want to make Light of that No I'm to make light of that. No, I'm not making light of that. I'm saying they wouldn't touch the issue. No airline's going to want to be. Yeah, not making light of it. I could just, yeah, be, but I wasn't.

So then I didn't. Right. I wasn't transitioning. But that's the thing. So people that are speaking about this, they've spoken to people about this news article and the airlines basically can't be bothered. It's too much of a cost to check ID.

They'd have to employ more staff. They just focus on other security issues. How do they check in as you? If you check your bag, you online check in, any of that, and then you don't need to see a person. You don't need to show any form of ID to get on. You were saying that they checked your ID.

They've been checking your ID lately. Yeah, the last like three times I've flown domestically, they've checked IDs. Probably because of that time that person, as you screamed and rubbed their boobs, blood on their boobs. Ma'am, if you could just take a seat, please. You're freaking everyone out.

What do you do if you buy one of these airfares and they do check your ID? Like you're screwed. I know, because then you're caught breaking the law, right? They reckon that they've banned some people for life or permanently for flying on some of these, on either Jetstar or Air New Zealand, when they've caught people.

Imagine if it get banned from Air New Zealand. Like, oh, we just need to go down to, I don't know, somewhere, and you're like, oh, yeah, I can't fly on Air New Zealand anymore. You've got to wait until Jetstar opens up the route in five years. Fly as close as you can and then bust the rest of the way. Oh, no one deserves that. It's a lot of effort, isn't it?

If you had a bit of a blowout over the weekend and you're like, well, I didn't need those three quarter pounders. Don't feel too bad. The guy, now I'm sure this is the same guy

that was on that Super Size Me documentary. Do you remember that Morgan Spurlock, he lives on nothing but McDonald's, and every time they said he went upside your meat combo, he has to for a month. He did that for a month, eh? Yeah. And he felt quite sick after it. He did.

Now, this guy, I'm pretty sure this is the same guy that appeared on that saying, if it was bad for you, he'd be dead because he eats Big Macs every day. Well, he's officially eaten his 30,000th Big Mac since 1972. Now, apparently he can prove this. He's kept every receipt. So this guy just sounds like a barrel of laughs. And 1972, May 17th is the first dated receipt he has for eating a Big Mac. And on Friday, he ate his 30,000th Big Mac.

How does he even, like, because I sit on some of my receipts and they go blank. Have you ever had that? Yeah, yeah. I've got to keep a receipt for work and I've sat on it and it's nothing. The heat transfer. Yeah.

That's not honoring. The heat from your bum. It's like the IRD. When they audit people and they're like, ah, yeah, well, there's heat transfer. It's all gone, mate. Just kept it in the IRD. When they audit people, and they're like, ah, yeah, all of this heat transfer. It's all gone, mate. Just kept it in the hot cupboard. I definitely sat on this

$20,000 of missing funds receipt. Yeah. I keep my files in the hot water cupboard. That's just what I do. That's where I keep them. It works best for me. But he ate his 30,000th,

and he's like, delicious. Still love them. And yeah, if it's a guy from the documentary, he's not obese. He's skinny. One of those a-holes that can eat whatever they want and not put on weight.

His cholesterol and blood pressure are completely normal. He goes for doctor's checks often, as people always ask him because he's the guy that eats that. I mean, there's nothing normal about his haircut, but that's fine. He looks middle America, doesn't he? He does really look middle America. Taking a bowl cut up with a ponytail and sideburns was a bold move. But it's working for him. Bold move.

Hey, it's his. Hey, he's got a Guinness World Record. Do you? Exactly. What do I have? Has he ever tried a different burger? Like, there's other things out there. Does he go into how many he has a day?

Because, like, one burger's 500 calories, right? Sort of like one a day. One a day. That's not too bad. But if you're not having a combo, because it's the chips and the sugary drinks. Oh, well, at his press conference, he was slurping on a big soda, so.

Oh, right, okay. Oh, right. You probably get the drinks as well. Probably get a combo. It costs next to nothing to add a combo on, really, does it? Yeah. That's how I always get tricked into combos. A couple of dollars here, 50 cents there.

Oh, yeah, well, I was going to need a drink anyway. Oh, yeah. Right. So, and no plans to stop?, well, I was going to need a drink anyway. Oh, yeah. Right. And no plans to stop? No. He's just going to carry on. No, he's 64, though, so I don't know if he's going to get another 30,000 in.

Maybe get to 50,000 at a push. But if you do one a day, that's, what, 365. Maybe you do 400 in a year. Gets to his late 70s and he's not feeling well, he starts upping it to three a day just to get to 40. And then he makes it to 115 and everyone's like, what's your secret? That'll really piss me off. Yeah.

He's like, well, I haven't pooped since I was 100. I guess that's just holding me all together. Today's top six deals with the fact that Hillary Clinton's in the country. Hi, Hillary. It's great to have you. Hi, Hales. Just in case she's at the Reuters hotel and the alarm clock radio's come on. Oh, yeah. And it's in the country. Hi, Hillary. It's great to have you. Hi, girls. Just in case she's at the Richards Hotel and the alarm clock radio's come on.

Oh, yeah, and it's us. Yeah. Hi. Hi, Hillary. Where would she be staying? Like, one of the real... Is that where she was staying? The Flash ones.

It was somewhere in the viaduct. Oh, yeah. I heard, yeah, they... Sofitel. Sofitel, there's where... Is that where Barack Obama stayed, too, isn't it? For a night, I believe. Oh, no. Yeah. Greedy with the sea lebs. Sure is. I just think it's nice down there. Is that where Barack Obama stayed too, isn't it? For a night, I believe. Creedy with the sea labs.

I just think it's nice down there. Oh yeah, well that'll be why. It always depends on which room you get. So they get the nice room. Yeah. They wouldn't get the room that looks down

into the rubbish. There's always a room in a hotel that looks down into the big skips. The wheelie bin, yeah. You're like, don't open the window. The smell wafts up. And you hear the cleaning the. You're like, don't open the window. The smell wafts up.

And you hear them cleaning the glass up. Yeah, yeah, tipping the bins. 3 a.m. A lot of yelling. And you're like, oh, that's why this room was $70 on Expedia. Yeah. That's right. That's why.

Great central location, though, for my sake. So apparently she went to the Baby Boutique in Parnell. Right. Is that what it was called, Megan? Yeah. You informed me of this. Yeah. To purchase what we believe to be a present for Jacinda Ardern today.

They're having a catch-up. Of course, you get the present, don't you? It's a thing to do. Yeah. So the top six things Hillary Clinton did not purchase at the Baby Boutique yesterday in Parnell. Number six, vouchers. She didn't buy vouchers. No, she's not a voucher.

She's a boss lady. She buys a gift knowing it's going to be a good gift. She does not buy vouchers. She doesn't want you having say in it. Trust me, Valerie Clinton. Number five on the list, blocks. She did not buy blocks. Those letter blocks?

No, just blocks. Because babies love building walls. Big, beautiful walls. To keep out the other babies. And walls are a bit of a painful premise for her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big, powerful walls being built. Or just the threat of them.

Yeah. Might have just thrown her. Number four on the list of the top six things Hillary Clinton did not purchase yesterday at the Baby Boutique in Parnell. A dummy. She's had enough of dummies. She's like, no more dummies.

No more dummies in my life. Number three on the list is a lammy skin because it sounds a little bit much to, like Lewinsky all these years later. Actually, saying it out loud, it doesn't sound anything like it, but there's six things and I was struggling. Lammy skin. And you put your words in the middle. Yeah. saying it out loud, it doesn't sound anything like it, but there's six things and I was struggling. And you put your worst in the middle.

Yeah. Because people are like, give me some more good coming. Because we're not at the top one yet. Number two on the list of the top six things Hillary Clinton did not purchase at the baby store in Parnell yesterday. Any cute farm scenario that involves chickens hatching

from eggs? Because she's had a bad run of counting her chickens before they've hatched. So she's like, how many are in these eggs? I'll just open the ball and count them. Smart move. Yeah, smart move. And the number one thing Hillary Clinton did not purchase at the baby store yesterday in Parnell, no dump trucks, no camels with a hump, anything that does a jump.

Basically anything that rhymes with Trump. Oh, I see. No rhyming. No rhyming at all. That's today's top six. An American woman has had a harrowing air-based experience. She went to bed. This is so gross. Woke up and she described it as it felt like someone had slipped a chip of ice into her ear.

So I don't know why in ice it must have felt cold. Okay. Well, in her ear in the morning, she tried to get a cotton swab to get it out. But she was like, oh, no, something's in there and it feels like it's moving. And her husband had a look and it was a cockroach and it was burrowing into her ear canal. Was it cold insects? Cockroach kind of. I wonder if they're a little bit colder. It's probably just the sensation it was giving her.

Yeah. So anyway, they were off to the ER and it was trying to get deeper and deeper into her ear. So there was a numbing ointment in an attempt to kill it. But you know know those things, they'll survive the nuclear holocaust. Yeah, I think I tried once with some oven cleaner

and that didn't even work. Or it took a long time to bring it down. It'll melt today. Yeah. Like I sprayed a lot on and it was still moving. I was like,

God, why won't you die? So basically, the guy at the ER, the doctor, got in there with some tweezers and started like pulling on it, but rather than it coming out, it would just start to break up. Okay. Oh, God, and then these cockroach guts in your ear. Yeah, so they got it out.

He put some cream in there and he believed it had killed it, so he pulled it out and it was in three separate parts. And then she had to go back nine days later just for a little bit of a checkup. Yeah. And he flushed it out with like, I'm imagining like warm. Saline solution. Saline solution. And then some legs came out.

Oh, no. Then she went home and she was like, oh, that feels better, and woke up the next day, she's like, actually, that doesn't feel better. She had to go to an ear, nose, and throat specialist, and then he pulled out the entire head, the upper torso, the remaining legs, and the antenna, which had become, like, lodged.

Because I'm imagining it was doing bitey stuff. Oh, God! And because you know how they can live without their head for a while? Oh, are you kidding? Cockroaches, yeah. They're nasty. They won't die.

Have you noticed more cockroaches since you moved? Less. Less. Because we used to live by the water. Is that a thing? There used to be so many cockroaches. They're like a moist, warm area. Maybe that's why they went into the air.

Yuck. Ah, but cockroaches, yeah, big fans of the West Auckland. I don't know why. Cockroaches. Lops out by you. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, none of which have crawled into my ear. I watched that Facebook video with the spider in the air. Won't go into it. You can figure it out.

And that's been a fear of mine for a while now. Something going, because I... I'm going to sleep with headphones on or something. How do you wake up for your alarm? Because like,

at least if you're awake, you can fight it off. You'll hear this. But, what's the chance of this happening? Although I say that, but I remember being a kid

and there was, I heard a buzzing in my ear and like a fly was trying to go in my ear or something. Something was trying to go in my ear. My dad had a moth, my dad had a moth burrow in

to his ear. Oh, okay. Yeah, he had a moth burrow in to his ear. Yeah, he had a moth. I remember it clear as when we were kids and he was just like, oh, there's something in my ear. And you could see the end of the moth. Was it like an old dusty air hole? Dusty old air hole, I don't know. Oh, and you'd hear that being like...

Yeah, you could feel it moving around. I'm imagining you as you say, it's good sprinkling of dust in there. Right. I was just wondering if anyone's ever had an insect move in to their body. Sort of without signing a tenancy agreement, without paying weeks in advance. No bond lodged with the tenancy tribunal. Before we'd said, when you started reading that out,

I thought we'd be lucky to find anyone that that's happened to. Nah. Because that sounds like a once in a blue moon occasion. But then you almost had a run in with a fly. Yeah, but it didn't go in, did it? Yeah, right. But it didn't go into your dad's ear. Yeah.

It was right in. But he got it out straight away. Oh, we got it out. Oh, right. Okay. We got it out. Yeah, it was pretty nasty. But you hear about people with those.

I mean, I've seen enough videos online of people coming back from, you know, a third world country. I mean, like, oh, I've got this little itchy bite. And the doctor's like, oh, that's one of those bot fly things. And they pull this big sluggy maggot out. Great breakfast friendly Monday morning chat. Good morning. All right. 0800-DARLS-ATM-9696.

When did you have an insect move in to your body? A cockroach was living in a woman's ear for nine days. She dealt with it pretty quickly, but all the aspects of the cockroach weren't removed for nine days. It was a nine day ordeal.

The head of it suggests, because you can see the head that they removed, suggests that it wasn't small, like it was what you're imagining, the size of a normal cockroach. Like those ones when you go to Thailand or Fiji or the islands. Those ones that hiss at you. Oh, yeah, hissing roaches. And they fly and they're massive.

That's right. I forgot about those. Some text messages in. My little sister had to put a spider up her nose. What? It died and the doctor had to pull it out because it started to make her breath smell. She was maybe four or five at the time. She put it up her nose.

I missed the start of that. It said my little sister put a spider up her nose. And then it started to make her breath smell. What was it, rotting? No, she was breathing baby spiders because you know how they... Oh, don't even... Imagine that.

It sits up in there and it nests, and then you're like... No, no, no. You spew out a whole lot of spiders. Kira, what moved in? Hey, guys. I had a tick burrow into my head after petting a kangaroo at SoZone Australia. Oh, you are kidding me. We've all done that, right?

Petted a kangaroo. Held a koala. No, it was super gross. Isn't that how people get, is it Lyme's? Lyme's disease is by ticks. And if you pull ticks out, if you just pull the body out, the head can regrow another body. Yeah, I think it can go pretty badly.

Like an alien. Yeah. So how did you, so what did you do then? I went to the chef in the hotel we were staying at for some reason, knew how to get it out. And so I think he used olive oil or something and gave it back to me in a wee container. Yeah, you drown them, don't you?

Yeah. Don't they have to detach to breathe if you cover them in an oil? Yeah, there's something like that. Right. Yeah, and it just climbed out, I think. I've only got cheap cooking oil. Would that do? Like a canola?

A canola. A canola would suffice. It's got the heart tick. Oh, I was going to say, you might just give the tick cholesterol. Melt some margarine. Get that on there. That would be scary, especially if you're a

kid. And there's something like living in you. It's so hard to explain to kids, with my kids and other kids, my nannies and nephews. It's so hard to explain to them. Just let me have a look. We'll deal with this real quickly and then it's going to be done. It's going to be over.

Like prickles. My kids are just like, you can't even look at it. I want you to look at it. I can have it out in two seconds and then it's not going to be out. No, I'd rather have it in forever. It's so weird to explain to a kid

that one second of pain or discomfort is going to be the end of it. Cherie, your boy had a spider move in? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Yes, he did. He had a tiny, very tiny spider crawl into his ear. And he knew something crawled in, but we kind of thought it must have come out.

And several hours later, after having a shower, so I presume maybe he got a little bit of water in it, he was complaining that he could feel something. In his mind, he said it was like buzzing, and I thought, oh, my God, what if there's a bee or something? So we took him up to A&E, and they just put a little bit of, I'm assuming, like saline solution or something,

and it just flushes it out, and there was this lovely, beautifully formed spider that just crawled on out. It wasn't even dead. It was alive. It crawled out. That is like some alien movie stuff. Yeah, it just crawled on out. It wasn't even dead, it was alive. It crawled out! That is like some alien movie stuff. Yeah, it just crawled on out. Was it one of those little jumping ones?

I think it probably was and he was really excited because they gave it to him in a test tube so he was able to take it to school. Do you know what it could have been? What are those big hairy spiders? Starting with T. Sort of like

Central American, South American. Megan? Chilanthulas. No? No. No, definitely wasn't a chilanthula.

Wasn't any thing of the chilanth family. Thanks for your call, Cherie. Somebody said, a lot of tick stories from Australia. As a kid, I had a tick latch

On behind my ear After falling into A stinging needle patch In Australia You can't pull them off So a couple of hours Of sucking my blood We managed to get

Some tweezers Underneath it And grab its sucky bit And pull it out by that Oh god Somebody else said They felt uncomfortable On a flight

All the way back From Australia Got home There was a tick In the crack of their ass Wow On the flight And it had latched on in the crack of their ass. Wow. On the flight and it latched on within the crack of the ass. What, from the airline seat?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Did they not have pants on when they petted the kangaroo? They might have got it from somewhere else. God, it's all pretty grim, isn't it? Yeah. Somebody said a man that I would now describe as an insect once started a baby growing inside me. That's somebody airing their dirty laundry on the radio,

comically and metaphorically, and I appreciate that. I do. I do appreciate a little poetry. The debate has raged online over pyjamas after someone admitted that they wash their pyjamas every day. So they wear them and wash them. The pyjama would lose its fluff. And you'd have to have a couple of sets of PJs in rotation.

Unless you're doing washing every day. Yeah, you'd have to have quite a few. So this person was like, yeah, I wash them every day. Another person waged in and was like, yeah, I wash mine every day and I iron them. Who has time to do that? You're not ironing something that you're only going to wear to bed. That's lame. Yeah.

Because no one cares if it's crazy. I wouldn't even iron them. Jammers wouldn't be ironed ever. No. No. No. But they wouldn't iron well, would they? I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Splintlet iron, I suppose it would. But if that's the issue going forward. What's the thing that melts? Like silk? Satin? Oh no, some pyjamas have a recall.

You're right when you get too close to the heater. Yeah, yeah. You'd have to iron them on a low heat setting. Yeah. And that's when everyone was like, okay, I do not wash my pyjamas like maybe once a week. So the debate has raged. And before I want to say anything,

I want to know where everyone else sits on this because I've never really thought about it. It's to me, it'd be like once a week with your sheets. But then I don't wear pyjamas. I'll wear like pyjama bottoms around the house with a t-shirt just at night after I've had a shower. But then I sleep in the nude. I'm a nude sleeper.

Yuck. Sorry for that visual. Bold nude. I'm a nude sleeper. Yuck. Sorry for that visual. Bold. Even in winter. Nude sleeper. Even in winter. Yep. I'm an undies sleeper.

I've got sleeping boxes and they just get washed. Those are your Tasmanian Devil ones, aren't they? Correct. Yes. I love a little Tassie. Yeah. I put them on and I walk into the room for shut down and I go, She loves that She does

She's like I wish you'd stop that But she's just playing So I give her another one Yeah And she's like No I was serious And I'm like

Oh my gosh These games have got to end After being together this long Yeah And then she turns the light off And rolls away It's a long game It's a long game

I wear pyjamas Especially in winter Sometimes it's on in summer And then she turns the light off and rolls away. It's a long game. It's a long game. I wear pyjamas, especially in winter. Sometimes it's not in summer. But I would wash them. I don't think I leave it as long as a week. But I don't wash them every night. If I have a particularly sweaty sleep in summer, I'll give them a wash. Yeah.

Right. Like after. Well, are you wearing the same boxes to sleep in? Yeah. But when you think about it. That's not right. Yeah, it doesn't seem right, does it? No, not. Now that you're thinking about it.

No, but pyjamas are looser, whereas boxes are like more fitting. No, no, no. These aren't super like fitted boxes. Oh, yeah. No, yuck. Actually, yeah. I don't know. It's kind of like wearing undies every day.

So I sleep in them for six hours a day. Yep. Six hours a day. Yep. Six hours a night. So that's non-physical. Yeah, non-physical. Like I'm not like sweating it up like I would, like I'm not walking around. But you're still rolling around in it.

But see, I wear a pair of undies for like 12 and another, maybe another three. That makes 15. So you just great quick spot on the spot. No, but how often are you washing these? Every day I wash those. Oh, but they're like maybe twice a week. For your PJs?

Yeah, yeah. My PJ boxes will get like two or three days. Yeah, so if you count six, twelve, whatever's next. Eighteen, a non-physical. Fifteen hours a day of walking around in my undies, it's about the same. Yuck.

Okay. That does smell. What about producers? How do we sit on this? James? Well, I, yeah, I wear a T-shirt. I'm Scrooge McDuck. Yeah, no, Donald Duck, yeah. Oh, Donald Duck.

I wear a shirt. Hey, Winnie the Pooh. Or Winnie the Pooh. Oh, they're both. They're both. No, because if it was Donald Duck, you'd have to be wearing a hat as well. So you sleep from the waist down nude.

Nude. But then you wear a T-shirt. It's so weird. My shoulders get cold, but man, I am hot and sweaty down below. I mean, I'm quite a hairy guy, so it's like I'm wearing almost like leggings anyway. You're right. Sort of Yeti Jammers. But no,

I'll probably last about a week with my shirt and then that will go on the wash. But no longer than a week? No longer than a week

or else it gets that bed smell when you're like nah, can't be wearing this. How often do the sheets get washed?

That would probably be... You shouldn't have to think about this, James. No, I shouldn't have to think about this James No I'm just trying to think, we'll probably never get to the end of two weeks I don't reckon Two weeks? No it's got to be a

weekly thing. You've got junk to sheep happening too for two weeks Yeah that's true Exactly, yeah yeah I would never get over two weeks and then it's got to be done. Okay Caitlin? Well in the winter I wear never get over two weeks and then it's got to be done. Okay, Caitlin? Well, in the winter I wear full flannelette, like full pyjamas from Kmart because it's cute.

Yeah. I always wear knickers so my vagina's never rubbing. Do you wear knickers to bed? Yes. No. I always wear knickers. Wait, so you wear knickers and then pyjamas? Yes, of course.

Oh, I should have guessed. So vagina is never touching the pants. Oh, my God. But I remember once when I was little, I was at a sleepover, and my friend didn't wear knickers, and I was like, I don't want to wear knickers. And then I wet the bed, so. I did not know where that was going.

I am just so glad that's how that ended. She's like, okay, we're at a sleepover, my friend's not wearing knickers. I'm like, Caitlin, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And that's why you ended. She's like, okay, we're going to sleep over. My friend's not wearing knickers. I'm like, Caitlin. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And that's why you got teased at high school. That's why I always wear knickers to bed. Right. Every night. But then, you know, knickers don't stop wheeze.

You're talking about a nappy now. You're wearing nappies to bed. I think it was like unprotected, so I was like, I don't know. I don't know what happened. I don't know how that happened. It needs to feel closed in. How old were you? I don't know, like 18.

No, I don't know. Like, you know. What school were you at? Primary or high school? Primary, definitely primary. Okay, just checking. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And so now, okay, that's a lot. And then in the summer, I just wear, like, singlet top and shorts or whatever. Or, like, pyjama shorts. Anya, where do you stand on this? Pyjamas washing every day or once a week? I'm just a knicker gal. I've got no time for pyjamas. Do you just wear undies?

Yeah. But your boobs flop around everywhere. Yeah, I'm comfortable with that. Flop freely, I say. You do what you need to do. In the slumbering hours? You do you. You do you You do you

Right bird and left bird It's like bed sheets It's how comfortable you feel Isn't it really? Yeah If you don't mind Washing your sheets you know Once a month

Then you do you If you want to be grubby And lie in your own filth You do you You do you We're searching for The. The Kiwi Treat Edition. We're searching for the number one Kiwi treat, and you can vote on our Instagram when we do these rounds, FVMZM.

Now, first of all, let's deal with Fridays, because we haven't officially announced on air what happened with Friday's rounds. Although, if you're following it, you will know. Chippy and Chippy's and Kiwi Dip went up against Cheerios, the little red sausages, the Savloys. Yeah. And it's goodbye to Savloys as Kiwi's Chip and Dip gets through to the next round. 70%

of the vote in that one. Wow. A clear winner in the next round was Fruit Burst versus Hubba Bubba. Hubba Bubba Bigga Bubba Blubba Bubba. What was it? Bubba Bubbles. Nothing blows bubbles like Hubbly Blubba What was it? Bubba Bubbles Nothing blows bubbles Like hubbly blubblies

What? They're out anyway So who cares? Oh they got a hiding too They got a smashing 80% of people saying Fruit Burst And it was the peach Fruit Burst

That has been RIP Discontinued Canceled Yeah discontinued That is a real shame That is a real shame They replaced it with the berry

Huge, huge error Oh no see I didn't mind that move. Ah, this one was pretty, pretty close. 51% to 49%. It was the chocolate fish versus the Cadbury cream egg. Megan, you'd be the same as me. You cannot believe this outcome. Because the cream egg lost, didn't it? Yes, it did.

Chocolate fish, 51% of the vote. It's because it's so classically Kiwi. The cream eggs are British. It's so basic. It's so basic. You've got a choice of these two things. You're not picking a chocolate fish. Well, they did.

No. Only just, though. They did. There was all up over 15,000 votes cast for that. Oh, my God. The people have spoken. The people have spoken. The people have spoken. And the next round, sausage roll versus garlic bread.

Again, it could not have been closer. 49% to 51%. And it's our good friend, the barbecue classic, garlic bread advancing to the next round. Sausage rolls. I am shook. I'm shook. I'm happy about that, actually. I just next round. Sausage rolls. I am shook. I'm shook. I'm happy about that, actually. I just, I couldn't believe.

I don't do sausage rolls. It's a meal in your hand. I always find the meats real yuck. Like, it's a basic, it's a basic sausage, isn't it? Yeah, but there's protein in it. Like, that's just carbs and fat and... Yum. Yum.

I think that's what you're trying to describe, Megan. I think that's what you're trying to say. You're not doing anything to put me off it. You've just described two of my favourite things in the shape of another of my favourite things, seasoned with my favourite thing. Right, so those are Friday's rounds. Yes, so this week is the second lot of rounds.

We've eliminated half of the field, and so we go down to the next round. And some of these are really stepping up. And again, these are things that have won already, but at the end of the week, half of these will be gone. Correct. Ruthless. Why is this so heartbreaking?

I know it is. So the first rounds today, we've got another couple of rounds to announce next hour. But the first rounds today are the Hot Chippies, which cleaned up in the first round, taking on the Chip Sandwich. That Hot Chips, I think Hot Chips will be in the final. Do you think that's a big call? Are you calling them for Victor?

I say they'll be in the final. They'll be hard to beat. They'll be hard to dethrone. Right now, there's been about 3,500 votes cast. Early signs. Hot Chip is absolutely smashing a chip sandwich. 82% of the votes. Oh, they've got it.

Goodbye. And the next round, this one is going to be close, and it is. Very, very close. Grain Waves versus Spicy Tomato Manchos. Sour Cream and Chives. Grain Waves versus Spicy Tomatoes. Is that Bluebird V Eater as well? Let me just zoom in on the photo.

Are they both Eater? I don't know what Grain Waves. Eater Munchos are definitely Eater Munchos. Grain Waves are a... Are you Googling? I'm Googling. I'm Googling. Yep.

Bluebird Grain Waves. Bluebird Grain Waves versus the Eater Munchos. It's the Chip Company. I don't know. It's just Chip Company versus Chip Company. I love it. It'sos. It's the chip company. I don't know. It's just chip company versus chip company. I love it. It's great. It's the chippy behemoths.

Corporate versus corporate. And at the moment, Munchos are ahead by 1%, 51% to 49%. Yes! If you would like to see those votes change, I mean, it would take a lot of you. It would take an army, some would say, to change the results of the hot chip versus the chippy sandwich. But the Greenways versus Spicy Tomato tomato manchos, anyone's game. FVMZM is our Instagram account. You go along and you vote in one of those polls.

You click which one you want to do. All right, in 17 minutes, we're going to play our $200,000 double date. Your chance to win cash coming up. There's been a study done by one of the world's largest dating apps. It's revealed that a quarter of millennials are looking to date cougars and silver foxes. Wow, okay. Okay. So they are...

Well, that speaks true for your millennial. I'm a millennial too. Producer Caitlin, is this you? Would you settle down with the silver fox? You've just got back on Bumble. Thanks, mate. Which dating app is this from? These stats. Badoo. Never heard mate. What dating app is this from?

These stats. Badoo. Never heard of it. It's overseas, eh? Oh, is it one of the big overseas ones? Badoo. Badoo. Badoo.

Badoo. Oh, that movie. That got me. It depends how old they are. But you have a rule where you'd go much older and like how much younger, if any. A day. A day. So that's kind of true.

Like millennials are looking for older and not younger than them. So they have said nearly a third of women have dated someone 10 years older. 9% of men would date someone 20 years older than them. Silver foxes? I mean, if we're talking Mike McRoberts,

then yeah. But also, you've got to think about... This is the second time in recent memory, Caitlin, that you've had on Mike McRoberts on air. Well, I haven't slid into his DMs just yet. No, he knows it's happening, though. We've been flagged.

He's waiting. But you've got to think about children and stuff as well. If they've got kids, then you're going to be the... So much. No, but for me, if I wish to get with the silver fox and he's got children, I've got to think about that. If they're 20 years older, their kids could be very similar aged. And you were saying he might not want kids because he's had them.

Yeah, or do I want to be a step-mommy? Right, yeah. Kind of such. So there's a light-hearted explanation for this and a more scientific psychological explanation. The light-hearted one is that famous people have made this common. So like the George Clooneys and Sam Taylor Johnson, the director of Fifty Shades.

She did Kick-Ass, right? And that's where she met her partner. He was in the first Kick-Ass. He was Kick-Ass. That's right. Quite a large, is it 20 years between the two of them? Yeah, at least. He's 20 years younger than her. She was 40-something and he was 19 when they started.

She's like, I'll direct you in life. Yeah. So there's lots of celebrities are doing it. So they're saying that maybe they've made it okay. Right. And the more scientific is that there's a lot of baby boomers that have broken relationships. So there could potentially be a lot of people with mummy and daddy issues. Right.

Okay. I liked the first one better. I know, me too. Me too. The second one's a bit yucky. I just think that older guys are more mature than guys my age. That too. Like, they're just better.

At pretending to be mature. Well. It says most older guys are just better at pretending to be something they're not. And then you get them with their lad mates and they're all just exactly the same. Don't write off younger. Hey, Fletch. What? F.M.

This is a real first world problem. A teenager from Beverly Hills is complaining that her mum is forcing her to live like a peasant. So this is from a teenager who she demanded, sorry, a $230,000 SUV for her birthday. This has gone viral because it was on Dr. Phil, wasn't it?

Yeah, I saw it on Dr. Phil. So, the mum dragged, actually, I think the daughter might have dragged her mum onto Dr. Phil thinking she could probably win that argument. Yeah, she did. She did. She was the one that said to Dr. Phil, my mum's mistreating me and I think you need to sort her out.

And then she gets on there and Dr. Phil's like, I'm not the real problems, you. What do you want me to do? So it was, it got turned around on her and then she was like, ah. So her problem is she was getting $5,000 a month in allowance. US. And her mum's like, no more. Only $1,000 a month. She's still living at home, though.

Yeah. What does she get $5,000 for? Well, she said to Dr. Phil that her mum's never around. She's got friends who don't get that much money, but their mums are around to, like, cook for them. Right. And look after them and advise them on life. But she said because her mum works all the time,

she's just going to do all these things and it costs her lots of money. Oh, no. Also, it shows her in her wardrobe and there's on life, but she said because her mum works all the time, she's just going to do all these things, and it costs her lots of money. Oh, no. Also, it shows her in her wardrobe, and there's, like, I can see, at least three Chanel bags, some Valentino shoes. Oh, she's a spoiled little so-and-so,

but her mother made her that. Yeah, and now she wants to try and turn it around. Yeah. $5,000 a month, even $1,000 a month. Like, I never even got pocket money. It's $1,000 a even $1,000 a month. I never even got pocket money. It's $1,000 a month about $250 a week from your parents.

That's a hell of an allowance. That's crazy, right? Yeah. But there would be people that leave home and go to uni and you hear of them getting their parents' credit card. That's unbelievable. Imagine when you leave home getting your credit card but they end up ticking up thousands of dollars on it.

Exactly. Or you get mum's Uber account and it's just a free ride every weekend. I'm really good with numbers. My mum is so scared that I'll memorise her credit card number. You're really good with numbers. You can't say that, Megan. You can't tell the time.

No, but I can remember. What you're really good with numbers. You can't say that, Megan. You can't tell the time. No, but I can remember. What you're really good with numbers is knowing credit card numbers with expiries in the CVV, whatever's on the back of the card. So she hides it from me. She doesn't even let me borrow it to pay for us because she's scared I'll remember the numbers. I probably would. Like, this is my RoboCop. Yeah.

But yeah, she doesn't even give me... Producer Caitlin, do you get an allowance? Because I know your mum will top up your tank every time she's in town, but that's allowed, eh? That's like... Petrol. Yeah. Mum buys me sometimes undies and bras and...

That's such a mum thing. Tops up my petrol. But you don't get a weekly allowance? Shivers, no. No. I never got that. No way. Sometimes if I need to, like, borrow money, I will, like a big, like a lump sum.

But you'll never pay it back, eh? No, I do. Oh, you do? Yeah. Okay. Just very slowly. I'll pay it back when I'm, like, old and have matured. Because you've paid off your...

Old and have matured. Old and have matured. So you've... Because you've paid off your student loan. Yes. But your ongoing loan from the bank of mum and dad is in existence. Yeah, that's kind of stressing me out.

But it doesn't have a minimum monthly repayment. No, it doesn't. But just the like, the thought in my heart. Does that accrue interest if you go overseas? No. I thought your mum would be like, don't you leave.

What is that charge of your interest? It just would be her visiting me like every week. She'd turn up to the airport and arrest you when you're trying to leave the country because you haven't paid her loans. Can we take some calls? Would anybody admit to having left home and being a grown

adult, even maybe working, not even studying and still getting an allowance? Would anyone admit to that? Oh, like a top up? Or would you have to dob your rich bratty mates in? I don't know. Either way. You're happy to hear?

Yeah. Are you proud of it? No. I always love the hypocrisy of these sorts of situations where a family's rich enough to support their kids even though they're out on their own, yet the same people bang on about how bad beneficiaries are to the country. Oh, their family couldn't afford to just like float them forever in a day

so that's why they had to fall back on social welfare. Sorry. Sorry everybody was nosy. Alright, 0800-9696 Who gets an adult allowance? Who do you know that gets an adult allowance? Maybe it's you and you know what? If I was in this situation and I, mum and dad

were rich enough and I was 26 and they were giving me money every week I wouldn't say anything. I'd take it. I would take every second of it. Wouldn't you? I'd still live at home if I could. They're not in the same city. I'd totally

go there every night for dinner. If they could afford it, I would. Yeah. Oh yeah. I don't know if people would keep taking money from their parents and their parents haven't got a lot of money. That doesn't sit well. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't like people who keep taking money from their parents, and their parents haven't got a lot of money. That doesn't sit well. Yeah. All right.

Yeah, if they had the money. Do you still get an adult allowance? You've moved away from home. I'll wait. Hunter Darns at M9696. We're talking about getting an adult allowance. If it happens to you or someone you know. Somebody messaged in saying they know a family on the rich list and they get a really

big allowance. What? Did they say how much? How much? They didn't say how much. Say it. I don't want to start rumours I'll mime it for you in studio. No, we don't know who it is. And then you can give the list. Say it out loud. Ten.

Say it out loud. You're supposed to just react. When? How often? A month. No. No. Was that 10,000?

It was more. Times two. 20. Out loud. $20,000 a month. But see, if that was me and I was getting that, I'd be stoked about it. Yeah, you're a rich person. That's probably even not enough. Who cares?

I'd be such a cow. I'd be such a cow. I know it. I know that money ruins some people. It wouldn't ruin you. I'm glad you're poor. I hope you're poor forever. No, but I know that about myself.

I know that about myself. You'd be like, uh-oh, I can feel myself changing. I'm getting snobbier. Wow. Stop looking at me. Wow. Stop looking at me, poor person. You don't pay tax on that.

That's like what they get, right? I don't know how that all works. Yeah, I don't know. Unless daddy or mommy gave it to you in notes and then you didn't have to pay tax. They're probably rorting the system and they're probably a payee of the company or something. Somebody, some other stories in on your

adult allowance. Somebody said, does the supply of homebrew citrus vodka count? Because for ages I'd just send out an empty bottle and $5 for postage and Dad would courier me back a full one. Yes. That's a pretty good question. That's an alright allowance. I bet Dad's homebrew citrus vodka

ain't for weaklings either. That's probably 80%. Michael, you get an adult allowance? Yeah, I do. Okay, how much do you get? I only get like 10 bucks a week for like chore money. I get an automatic payment at the end of the week.

Oh my God, that's cute. That is the cutest. Oh my God. And I'm 22 now, so it's been quite a while since I've been at home about five years and they just haven't stopped it.

Oh! So do you think they've forgotten about it or do you think they just think, about five years, and they just haven't stopped it. So do you think they've forgotten about it, or do you think they just think it's a cute tradition they don't want to stop? I actually think they've forgotten about it, because at the end of the day, that's $520 that they're giving me every year. Yeah, I know, but now that I've got kids, if you start weird little cute traditions, you don't want to stop them, because then you feel like you're losing out. Even with them 22?

Yeah, I'd let it happen. I'm not very cute anymore, though. But if they came around, I'd be like, hey, you're losing out. Even when they're 22? Yeah, I'd let it happen. I'm not very cute anymore, though. But if they came around, I'd be like, hey, rubbish needs taking out. No, no, no, haven't done that in a while. Brilliant. Thanks, Michael. Cute. Some text messages in.

I'm 26. My parents still pay my phone bill and all of my insurances. Up until I was 24, I had the petrol card. But when I turned 24 I had the petrol card. Oh my god. But when I turned 24 they were like, so we need to stop the petrol card. There were tears, there were tears. We did our OE in London with

a group of friends working shitty jobs and one friend kept getting £10,000 every Christmas from their family back home. What? That's like $20,000, right? Why? I don't know. Oh, I'd want them home. Do they want an extra kid?

Do they want to adopt me? Put yourself up for adoption. Wow. You've already got parents, Megan. You don't care that much about me. Somebody said I'm 24 and the old man still pays for my phone. To be honest, I think he's forgotten about it and rich enough not to notice. And I recently upgraded my phone plan to the unlimited.

So I waited for a couple of months to see if he noticed. No notice. So keep on keeping on. My mum gives me $60 a fortnight while I'm studying. I never asked for it. Just randomly started appearing in my account one day. Didn't complain. It was just a little bit of a help out.

I'm a 25-year-old student, and mum's still giving me $100 a week for food. Yeah, because that's what mum says, but you suppose you could use that on booze, eh? Yep. She's not going to know. Unless she wants the receipts. Yeah, mum's running a tight ship there.

But if it's for food or something, that's quite nice. But if it's just untold amounts of cash. Somebody else said, I get $1,000 a month from my mum. I'm 28 and married with two kids. $1,000 a month? You wouldn't have to work. Somebody else said, this really hurts my feelings.

Even you guys talking about this. Last month, I was cut off from my parents. They finally cut the umbilical cord as I've got a job now and I'm finished studying and they sat me down and gave me a serious chat about the fact that I've really got to learn to stand on my own two feet. It hurts me that you're talking about this in such a comical fashion. You'd be like cold turkey though. Like wean me off.

Yeah, tear it down. I've got the shakes, Mama. I've got the shakes. I'm at you, Mama. I needed money. Fact of the day, day, day, day it down. I got the shakes, Mama. I got the shakes. I met you, Mama. I needed money. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about holding our breath. Okay.

I saw this, and the most interesting part about this, this is a world record, for the longest time of breath held voluntarily. Now try as I may, I could not find any record

for longest time of breath held involuntary. No, because again, people weren't there to, you know, how would that happen? You would just hold

someone underwater but then how would you know that they'd... Yeah. Is the record held by a free diver? Yeah, he is a free diver. He wasn't free diving at the time. He was literally just lying face down in a pool. There's a really boring YouTube video of the entire thing.

Okay. If you're into watching a guy who looks dead not be dead floating in the water. But good that he did it in water because how do you know he's not having a sneaky breath above the water? We've had breath holding competitions at home and you can always see the kids because they breathe through their nose

and their nostrils are moving. Or you make them hold their nose and they go So how long do you think it is? Four minutes. Ten minutes? Oh, okay. 24 minutes and three seconds.

I know. I couldn't believe it. It blew my effing mind. What about your brain? I don't know what happened to his brain. Are these people, do they have supersized hearts or lungs or something? Well, he's a professional freediver, so maybe, you know, this isn't his first time. He's not just in the bath, sliding down the back of the bath and going.

Because you can train yourself to do it. Because I remember we'd do, like, I had a swim. What do you call it? I'd go swimming, like, how about squads. And sometimes you'd have to do the whole length of the pool. And the first time I couldn't do it. And then I could go there and back. Holding your breath of a 50-meter pool.

You went 100 meters underwater. No, it was at 25 meters. So I could go there and back. But even then you went there and back. But the first went 100 metres underwater no it was a 25 metre so I could go there and back but even then you went there and back but the first time I did it it was really hard and then I could do it

the difference is there is like you're like puffing because you're exercising but you're still holding your breath that's like pretty that's crazy but so yeah

this guy Alex Vendrell he's Spanish and a freediver as I said he lasted for 24 minutes and 3 seconds Alex Vendrell, he's Spanish and a freediver, as I said. He lasted for 24 minutes and three seconds.

That's insane. One face down go. He did a dive show, so pressure was on. People watching. I thought with comparative, how would the nearest female go for the female, again, completely voluntary. She wasn't held against her will. And how long do you think she went for? Is it

considerably less? Well, it's less because he's a world record holder. 18 minutes and 32 seconds. And she's Brazilian. So is there something in Latin Latino speaking? He's Spanish. He's Spanish. What is there something in Latino speaking?

Is he also Latino? He's Spanish. He's Spanish. What are they speaking in Brazil? Portuguese. Portuguese, eh? So is there something in that Iberian Peninsula? Peri-peri chicken.

Yes. It could be the peri-peri sauce, because isn't that Portuguese? There's something in the sauce that makes them. That's interesting, because you know in those movies where they're like there's the spy or the bad guy or the Navy SEAL and they're like

shooting and they're in the water and then they disappear and then get up to the beach. And then the water catches on fire. And then they don't resurface and you're like

that's rubbish. They're lying. But I'd imagine Navy SEALs would also train to hold their breath underwater for a very long time. Yes. I thought you were going to say

in movies where they hold someone's head under the water and try and kill them. You'd have to hold them under for so long. You'd get so bored. You'd be like... You'd stay still and be like, oh, I'm dead.

And then you probably wouldn't say I'm dead, but you'd be like... I always think that. I'd go still. Yeah, everyone panics and panics and their panic slowly wears down and then they've drowned. But my thing would be like panic battle.

No, you've died too quick there. Yeah, you died too quick there. And then they let me go. I'd shoot a couple of rounds under the water just to make sure you were definitely dead. What did you do that for?

Well, now I'm bleeding and then I'd be like and blow out all my air and then I'd drown. He wasn't dead. I'd be like, damn it, he got me. But when you say Navy SEALs that record's actually longer

than what SEALs hold their breath for. No, are we talking Navy Seals or seal seals? Seal seals. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, but you said Navy Seals and that got me thinking because I looked at a list of animals that hold their breaths for long times. And it is, it's longer than the average seal does to dive underwater and do it about. So the longest animal that they've actually tagged

with one of those geo things and then it goes under the water and stays down there was down there for 90 minutes. Oh dear. No, no, sorry, 138 minutes. The average for its species is 90 minutes, but the longest one was 138 minutes. So it'd go down and it'd come up in a whole movie

and a bit would have passed. What do you think about holding your breath for a whole movie? I just Goog bit would have passed. Anything about holding your breath for a whole movie? I just googled Navy SEALs. They can hold their breath for a couple of minutes but there was a breath holding exercise by two members that went tragically wrong and one of them couldn't hold their breath for much longer and they drowned.

Were they holding him under? Was he the record holder for the involuntary breath holding? No, they were just doing training. How far down was he? That's my thing, yeah. It makes sense. This guy's floating on the surface. You don't want to go too far down.

Yeah. Could a long way to come up for someone who goes wrong. And you've probably got a big backpack as well. Weighing you down. Weighing you down, yeah. That's where you went wrong. So today's fact of the day

is the longest, currently, the longest time that a breath has been held voluntarily underwater is 24 minutes and 3 seconds. Fact of the day day, day, day, day

a do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do do-do-do-do Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights The Key Street Edition Alright, we've got cash to give away soon with Survivor NZ, but Food Fight Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights. The key to tradition.

All right, we've got cash to give away soon with Survivor NZ, but Food Fight, we're looking for New Zealand's favourite fast food item. Yeah, we're into the next round. If you've just joined us, all the ones that lost the last round are gone. They're no longer in the competition. And some heartbreak, some real heartbreak from people who have just been going through the messages on our Instagram, some very angry people that we pit sausage rolls against garlic bread

so early in the competition. And garlic bread won. That's crazy. Goodbye sausage rolls. But we're throwing down a gauntlet of hard decisions. Hard, delicious decisions. People are so passionate.

I love it. They very much are. So we want to know from you what favourites you've got. We opened up with some new rounds today. Hot chippies, a puddle of hot chippies versus a potato chip sandwich.

And at the moment, hot chippies are romping home. Why do you keep saying chippies? Because that's what it says on the thing. Especially what chippies. That's what we're saying it is. Chippies, chippies. Hot chippies, a puddle of hot chippies. And you can imagine your favourite sauce on that too.

Yeah. I go for the chunky. Do whatever you want. You go for your waddies. Here's the one that I think is going to be today's closest i'm about to announce another couple that i think would be pretty close but this one after let me check how many votes there's been near on 7 000 votes yep 50 50 exactly between mancho spicy tomatoes wow and grain waves sour cream and chocolate that is going to be the best.

So 24 hours of voting. You can go to our Instagram, FEMZM. There's another one as well. The, I guess, the chocolatey milk round. That's right. We can announce it now. It's on our Instagram page. Primo versus Milo.

The chocolatey milk battle. At the moment, Milo on 58% of the votes, Primo 42. Did you think it would be closer? I mean, the nostalgia on that. You went for Milo over Primo? Yeah. I went for Primo on that. But if you mixed up your perfect Milo in a glass,

would it be better than a perfect Primo? A chilled Primo? I don't think so. That's just my personal take on it. What if you used Primo to mix up your Milo? Really double down on that four and a half star health rating. That's not allowed. And the other, this is a little bit closer.

The $1 Lollimax versus the Lolli Cake. Do you want to know how I decided? How? I was like, if I was at a party, I don't know, like a kid's party or whatever, and they're both sitting on the table, which one would you reach for first? And you voted for? Lolli Mix. Did you?

Oh, I went Lolli Cake. Did you? $1 Lolli Mix man messaged us. Yeah. This is somebody on Instagram who's looking to trail as many $1 mixtures as they can. Now, interesting to look at his profile because he lays them all out when he buys one. Yep. A $1 mixture's perhaps got that nostalgic ring to it,

but maybe they aren't what they used to be. Really? You don't get that much now? What, are we talking like four lollies? It was all the, you know those huckery spinning top lollies that are made of that chewy, yum. Oh, I like those. I love those.

Oh, get out of here. I'd rather have a sour Coke bottle lolly in there. They're in there. It was actually a sad state of affairs. Oh, God. Sad state of affairs. And maybe that's why Lollicake's 3% ahead in this battle today. So go to our Instagram.

Those are four new rounds that you can vote on. FBMZM on Instagram. And this time tomorrow, we'll have our victors for this round and some more competition throughout the week. FBMZM on Instagram. And this time tomorrow, we'll have our victors for this round and some more competition throughout the week. FBMZM. Third person eliminated from New Zealand, Survivor Frankie, who is also our ZM wildcard, joins us in the studio. Good morning.

Good morning, guys. Boo! Frankie, boo! Boo! We're saying boo because she was our wildcard. She was our brand. You were meant to win. She represented the brand.

I know, guys. I'm really sorry. David, you know what? They get rid of the strong contestants first in this game. They sure do. And then you get down to the dud ones at the end. Because you... Famously how every skill based competition

works. You were killing it. You're physically fit and you're doing well and do you think that's why they got rid of you? Typically with Survivor you don't get rid of your strongest players at the very beginning. Otherwise, you end up losing the challenges, which, as you can see, is what happened to Charnick. We sort of just are self-imploding. Right. Just losing all the challenges.

Yeah, just losing all the challenges. No food, no strength, no nothing. And I literally every single night think, why the hell was I voted out? Like I was, the show was based on a lake. I was the strongest swimmer probably in the game. And yeah, see you later Frankie. That was an absolute blind side though.

Unanimously voted out and you had no idea. No idea. What does that feel like? Well, it just, obviously I had no idea. No idea. What does that feel like? Well, it just obviously I had no idea what the hell I was doing because I genuinely didn't see it coming. I had really tight alliances

and those are the two people that turned on me. So did you obviously thought everyone was voting for Eve? Yeah. So what kind of chats had you had? I'd had just chats, you know, sort of dotted around the group. I was pretty, I didn't want to make it obvious. But I mean, out of me and Eve,

I thought that I was definitely the stronger contender and I thought that I was the more trustworthy person. So I didn't think it was going to be an issue. Ouch. Yeah. If someone dies on Survivor, do you get to get somebody else from the other team? No.

Because you know how like on sports teams, occasionally someone hurt themselves. So the PE coach would be like, all right, you're from the other team? No Because you know how on sports teams occasionally someone hurts themselves So the PE coach will be like, alright, you're on the other team now No I was just wondering That would have been bloody good If someone died There's your headline It would have been good to get an actual strong male in our team

Because at the end of the day We weren't that good I've been waiting for a strong male to join this team For every day I feel like it's all on my shoulders Megan and I are learning a lot of lifting We weren't that good. I've been waiting for a strong male to join this team. I feel like it's all on my shoulders. Megan and I are learning a lot of lifting. A lot of lifting. A strong male is what we all need, eh, Fletch? You want a strong male.

We all want a strong male. We all do, yeah. But that night in hell, so someone almost did die, really, because you all got really sick. Yeah, so basically they don't even show you how bad it was. Jericho, the winner of Australian Survivor last season, he was explaining it this morning that it would be so nice if the cameras were there to show how bad it really was.

It was like monsoon-type rain and it went on for eight hours and we were all shaking. We were all probably pre-hypothermia. Like, it was that bad. But then on top of it, I was sick. I was vomiting. I was in and out of consciousness. And still they were like, do you want to go home?

And you're like, no. And they leave it into your hands. They say, look, Frankie, if you go home, you're off the game. Yeah. And I could feel, I could feel Charney being like, go home. Go home, Frankie. Go home. And I was like, I'm not going home. There's no way I'm going home. Just to spite them. Oh, it's just that I'm tough. Like, I could feel Charney being like, go home. Go home, Frankie. Go home. And I was like, I'm not going home. There's no way I'm going home.

Just to spite them. Oh, it's just that I'm tough. I'm tough and I'm not going to give in. Whereas I think some of the others being in my position, they probably would have. I would have. Stuff that. You're vomiting, you're freezing, it's raining. So you've been kicked off Survivor and you have to move to London now.

Is that how it works? Yeah. Well, I was like, I either win Survivor or I'm fleeing the country. Well, I mean, you're prepared for London. You just said you spent eight hours in the rain and you were freezing cold. That's pretty much what London is in a nutshell. But no light. No.

Yeah. And no trees. Yeah. Okay. Well, best of luck moving to London. Thank you so much. Thank you. I hope you win $250,000 somehow.

Yeah, I might enter over there, see if I can go on All Stars or something like that. Oh, yeah. I think I've got a lot more to give. Right, you're ready to get back into the jungle. I'm ready. It was way too early to leave. How would you play it differently next time then?

Oh, look, I was just a bit, I feel like a bit of a loser, to be honest. I was just a bit of a fish out of water. I trusted everyone. I was like, these guys are great people. Turns out they weren't. So I would trust no one. Okay.

It's a great way to live life, eh, Fletch? Yep. It is actually Fletch's only one ever, full stop, ever. Ever.

That's his mantra. Ever, ever. That's his life mantra. That's my mantra. Life mantra. Thanks, Rikki. Thank you so much. ZDM's Fletch,

Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out Thank you so much.
