ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thank you, Ash. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, at the moment, broadcasting from the Garden City, our Garden City studios. And very soon, we will make our way to the palms. Downtown, faces past, something coming, I'm homebound. Oh my God, I had no idea what you were singing. I did. It was hard. We got there. And I need you.

Well, we'll make our way to the palms. Go on, Fletch. Megan. Fall. I'm trying to tell people how they can win $1,000. Do you think time would pass me by if I'd have walked a thousand miles if I could just see you flinch tonight? Well, you can see us this morning at the pubs if you're in Christchurch.

Oh, my God. Come on down. Yeah, so we're going to head down there for 7 o'clock. $1,000 up for grabs. Yeah, just drop the chip in the dip and go in the drawer. You'll be able to come down from 7.30, get up in the scissor lift with us and drop the chip into the dip. Everybody that gets in the dip goes in the drawer for the $1,000.

And it doesn't matter where you're listening from this morning. You can call after 7.30 and one of us could drop the chip for you. No guarantees that we're any good at that, but we'll try our best. I nailed one, two the other day. It's cold this morning. Wind is not too bad. Yep. And raining later today, but this morning precipitation at a minimum.

We'll give you the latest wind conditions. So when we get to the drop, what should we call it? Drop zone. Drop zone. The chip drop zone. Drop zone. The drop zone. Yeah. Yeah. All right, you lot, listen up.

It's story time. Story time, as usual, three news headlines for odd stories, quirky, funny stories that I've found online. Vaughan and Megan, you've got to pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, Dutch police update goes bad. Headline two, man blames spider. And headline three, 100-year-old zip lining. 100-year-old zipping along, I should say. Damn it.

I know that story. A 100-year-old woman, she went zip lining for her birthday. It's like not just one zip line. It's one where you do it through the trees and you disconnect and you go on to another one. Oh, like, what's the one in Ritirua? Beautiful. Through the forest.

Canopy tours? Canopy tours. Oh, so. That's like the number one TripAdvisor thing. Oh, and you can see why. Yeah, it's amazing. You get to go through some virgin forest, hear a few birds and hear why there's not more birds. And then want to do your part to help the birds.

Isn't that? Yeah. Okay. Cool. Eco warrior Vaughn over there. Oh, I'm really made me, I'm a huge fan of New Zealand native birds, but that really just doubled down for me. All right.

Well, so you know that story. Yeah. So do you want man-blamed spider or Dutch police update goes bad? I don't know if I want to hear about the spider. Yeah, because she freaked out before some girl on Facebook put a video up of a girl spider crawling on her face and Megan

freaked out and had to get somebody else to scroll past it for her because she was hiding from the screen. Because of the heebies. Well, maybe you want this story to feel better. Man blames spider. Dutch police update goes bad. You chose man spider. Spider, man Police. Update goes bad. You chose... Man Spider.

Spider. Man Blame Spider. Okay. If it's going to make me feel better, cut it. I think it will because you didn't go to this extreme. We go now to America. Do you say Genesee? It's like Tennessee, but Genesee.

I guess so. Is it a type of... No, it's... Batavia. Batavia. Batavia. It's like America. Okay. I've never heard of these places.

Genesee, so it's spelled like Tennessee but with a J. But one, no, with a G. And only one N. Genesee County Sheriff's Office. Okay. They responded to a vehicle which had flipped into a ditch at the end of last week. When they got there, the man who was travelling northbound on Route 98, around

1.30, was in the car and he's told officers that a spider jumped on his leg and startled him. Oh my god! He tried to get the spider off his leg, which caused him to go off the road and strike an embankment, causing his vehicle to flip.

That'd be me. No one was injured in the incident, so he was fine. His car was wrecked. I know that you're not supposed to react, and I do my best, but I can't even watch it on the screen. I can't even... Yeah, right. I jumped out of my seat when I saw one on the screen.

Now I feel like everything's tickling me. And people are bees as well, like bugs, people have been killed. If you were like highly allergic to a bee, bee stings, and then a bee's in your car, like you're gonna freak. Yeah. Yeah, but surely pull over. Don't just swerve. Remember when I had that rogue cockroach crawl out of my car

and I was like, ooh! But I didn't swerve, I was like, just keep my eyes on it to make sure it wasn't like... Well, as opposed to keeping your eyes on the road. Oh yeah! It's just watching it to make sure it didn't crawl on me. But then those are big hiders. Yeah. The cockroach.

Like I went and tried to find that cockroach in your car and I couldn't see it anywhere. I know. I'd forgotten about that until this moment. So it may still be in there. So it's just... It's just biding its time. While we're away, it's just finding the perfect spot to surprise you. I'll turn on the aircon one day

and it'll fly in my face. Flesh for Namegan, the podcast ZM. A bikini model has gone on a UK TV show. She has a problem. Now before you laugh, this is a problem that I'm sure lots of people maybe face, but they

don't like to be open about it. Okay. Maybe. It's not one I've ever faced. She went on to the TV show and said, I am too good looking to find love. Come on. So she said her looks are to blame for why she's single. She does

have two children and she said her dating life is just a disaster because guys only want one thing. They see her and they only want to hook up. Right. They don't want anything serious. I mean,

I've never been in this situation. Can you judge her just by what you can see? She's beautiful. Right. She is pretty. But maybe it's not her looks. Maybe she's got a dud personality.

I mean, yeah. It could be that. It's always people with dud personalities that don't know they've got dud personalities as well. They're like, must be my looks because this personality is great. Yeah. And I was like, I wonder what everyone said in response to. Oh, I would never need to wonder. Oh, God.

Get over yourself, love. FFS. When did become so self-obsessed? You are quite good looking for some but not for others. Beauty in terms of relationship comes from the inside, not the outside, you dick. This is so Miss Fake. Thinks she's too good looking

to find a date, does she? Sounds like someone has a very over-inflated ego. I'm too good looking for love, she states, that she likes heavily tattooed guys who go to the gym, yet follows this up with saying she doesn't go for surf level stuff. So she's also on there saying physically

what she would like. She's got a tattoo just under her belly button that says Las Vegas. I wasn't going to mention that because we're not being judgy. It was simply a statement. It was more the tone of your statement, Vaughan. The tone.

Said it all, really. Oh, she's got a tattoo just below her belly button that says Las Vegas. How charming. Charm. Simply charm. No, again, that didn't sound. What would Christine say if she saw...

If I bought that home, she'd say take it back. Hope you kept the receipt. She's savage. She's a savage woman from a different generation. I'm just glad she doesn't comment on these sorts of stories online. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Today's Top Six deals with an $87,000 pillow.

Is that US dollars? That's New Zealand dollars. Good Lord. Encrusted with gems and trimmed with a 24-karat gold-infused fabric, this tailor-made pillow by someone with a very Dutch-sounding name is the queen of pillows. So the shape of it is taken from a digital scan of your head and neck. Yeah.

It's 3D printed in foam and hand finished With four diamonds and a large 22.5 carat sapphire in the zip I wouldn't want to be drunk and fall asleep on the encrusted outer And wake up with like holes in my neck From diamonds From the diamonds Yeah Also you say foam

You'd leave a mark Are we talking memory foam? Because I've got a memory foam pillow, and it's the best pillow I've ever... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. So it's not cheap like sheep. Okay. It's 3D printed foam.

Oh. So it's a 3D printer that prints to your head and neck scan. Wow. Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah, so... But $87,000, that's a lot for a pillow. So here are the top six things I need this pillow to do if I'm paying $87,000 for it.

Yep. Number six, always be cool side up. Yes. Always know, oh, it's getting hot on that part. I'll engage cooling function. Yep. Needs to be pretty smart to keep up with my head. Not that my head's smart, I'm just saying a lot happens.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Number five on the list of the top six things I want an $87,000 pillow to be able to do. Automatically get the hair of my significant other out of my face. When you have a little spoon and you're on the one pillow and you're like. It's so over the top when you hear them going. Megan, that could choke our airways. No, it couldn't.

Gets in our eyes, up our nose. I'm always like, all right, just ask me to move my hair. You're going to pick your hair up and put it under your head and slap on it. It's your hair. As a bald man, I shan't be cursed with that. I know. What an absolute rub in the face that is. Yeah.

Literally. That's a treat for you. It's a tickle on the face, if anything. Remember what this is like? Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. I know. It was a while ago. It's horrible.

Get it out of my face, woman! Rude. Very rude. Number four on the list of the top six things I want my $87,000 pillow to be able to do. Know exactly what to do with my awkward arm when spooning. Yeah. Where's this arm going? Under my own pillow?

Under their pillow? Down along your body. Do something, pillow. And the pillow will automatically hide that arm for you, I guess, is what that pillow, is what I pillow is. It's what I'm asking, pillow. Number three on the list of the top six things I want the $87,000 pillow to be able to do. Gently wake me up with light movements, bird sounds, and compliments.

Compliments. You slept like an angel last night, you beautiful boy. Get out there and tackle that big wide world. Oh, that would be so nice in the morning. Au revoir. Au revoir. I love you. I'll see you later.

Yeah, you're like, I love you. Your partner's like, love you too. You're like, not you, the pillow. Some phone alarms are like, good morning, it's 5.30, and the weather today is scattered showers. Yeah, but I... But you can add the compliments to it. Yeah.

You're going to kill it out there today. You could go for a cowboy accent every now and then. Okay, yeah. Compliments, though. Number two on the list of the top six things I want this $87,000 pillow to be able to do. Automatically remember to pack itself in my suitcase when travelling and shrink to a small size so I can still fit other stuff in the suitcase. Yeah.

And you see people travelling with their big pillow on, like, long-haul flights. I mean, it's a good idea, but it's a lot of effort. I didn't bring my pillow last night when I lay down. Yep. You noticed? I didn't bring my pillow. Always say,

oh, better take this pillow with me. It's a great pillow. And then always say. Trouble is, those memory foam pillows are a few kgs. That's going to add

to your suitcase. What are you saying? No, they take up a fair bit of space, but they don't weigh that much. They're not a few kgs. Yeah, but every kg.

That'd be a kg, absolute maximum. No, I reckon all. They're not a few kgs. Yeah, but every kg. They'd be a kg absolute maximum. No, I reckon a memory foam pillow would be two kgs. I'd say 800 grams. You're not sleeping on a rock again, are you? 800 grams. Because it was that time of the year in the 2000s where you were using a rock as a pillow. I'm googling. I'm googling.

I'd say 800 grams. It can't be a couple of kgs. Surely it's the space over the weight situation. Maybe you can roll them up and get them pretty small. Hang on, I'm just on Amazon. They've got one here. It doesn't say how heavy it is. Well, I guess it's a weird question.

Not too many people... Yeah, okay, I'm sold on Amazon. It's a great pillow, but how much does it weigh? How much do you weigh? Are you looking too, Megan? It says a high-quality memory foam pillow. Also, I'm a much better Googler than you. I can weigh up to four pounds.

Thank you. Four pounds is 2.2 kgs, right? Yeah, I told you. And if you've only got 20 kgs of luggage or whatever and you're travelling away for a few weeks, it adds up. It's a space issue way more than it's a weight issue, though. And last, Lance, today's top six things I want this $87,000 pillow to be able to do. Number one, last long enough so that one of my grandchildren can initiate smother mode

and smother me with it when I'm old and bedridden and I want to die with dignity. I don't know if that's dying with dignity, but sure. Being smothered with a pillow? Yeah. That's how I want to go. That's dignity. Choice is down to the last choice. I think it's how Captain Cook went, isn't it?

Being smothered by a pillow. Is it? I think he got smothered in the sandwich islands. I think he got eaten. Are you sure? He got smothered with bread. In margarine. Hard to breathe through marge.

Very hard to breathe through marge. Is that margarine? You could have at least killed me with butter. One of the world's great explorers and that's how he died in a sandwich that's why Hawaii used to be called

the sandwich islands that is today's top six ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan the podcast Gucci have launched a campaign which kind of steers away

from the normal campaigns that we expect from beauty products this is specifically for a lipstick so the creative director

has decided instead of trying to shy away or like forget about your imperfections, they're trying to hold them up on a pedestal instead. To say that not everyone's beautiful and perfect.

Well, your imperfections are your beauty. That's what makes you different. Right, everybody's different. Yeah. So their new lipstick, the ad literally shows, you know how it's always like red lipsticks, perfect white teeth. Like look at how amazing these smiles are. This has people with all different types of teeth.

They have gaps in their teeth. They have some that aren't perfectly white. They have some that are crooked. And they're all highlighted in this new Gucci ad. Which is quite big for, because you kind of expect that from an ASOS campaign.

They've started showing, you know, like, untouched up bodies and all that kind of stuff. But for a big fashion house to do, you know, like, teeth missing and... And teeth missing.

Yeah. To have, like, everyday people. Teeth missing? Yeah. To have like everyday people. Teeth missing and like, and well they're still models but they've just got what you would normally consider imperfect smiles. Right. To show off the lipstick and be like you know what, every smile is beautiful and every smile deserves a Gucci lipstick.

But I think it's good. Oh they'll go back to the hot ones with perfect teeth after this though, won't they? Well, Gucci is one of the more progressive houses. They've got like a real strong eco-friendly vibe. They don't do like furs and stuff, whereas some of them do, which we found out recently, still do furs. Yeah, right.

So Gucci is one of the more progressive ones. But I think that's good for a massive fashion house to embrace imperfections like that. Next, we need them to like not retouch up the model so much. That'd be great. Get some stretch marks on the runway. If I was, like, holding a Gucci purse or whatever they sell on their website, I'd want to be touched up.

Yeah, that should be up to the model. Yeah, it should be. They're going to touch you up. Want to talk now about a request that was made to a maid of honour, bridesmaid, essentially. Right. So the bride's getting married and the bridesmaid, maid of honour, had a breast enhancement surgery scheduled for before the wedding.

How long before the wedding? After bridesmaid dress fitting? Or before? I actually don't know. Her wedding is in early September, but I don't have a gauge on when this is. She said it's within a month. Yeah, your dress fitting in July,

operation in August, wedding in September, you're like, yeah, just leave a little bit of room in the boob. But it's not the recovery from the surgery that she's worried about. Is that what you're saying? You wanted her to recover in time or whatever.

My thing, no, the dress wouldn't fit because she got it sized when she didn't have big burpees. That's what I was thinking. It's not even that. She doesn't want her to overshadow her with her new breasts. Wow. Okay. So she's asking her to put off the surgery until after the wedding.

I'd just make a bridesmaid's dress that showed no cleavage, like a skivvy. Or a sack. A turtleneck. A sack, a turtleneck, yeah. And then say, ha. But then they'd probably be quite voluptuous in that too. You could get like a whole two-neck one.

Yeah, make a sack look good. You'd be like, damn her and her breasts. Yeah. So they have posted this online and been like is this I'm upset

but do you think this is rude or reasonable it's rude it's rude it is changing asking your

bridesmaid to change any part of themselves yeah is not okay there are always stories like this

I like telling bridesmaids don't get pregnant yeah or don't do this or don't look like this because I when I went blonde I was gonna be a bridesmaid, don't get pregnant. Yeah. Or don't do this or don't look like this. Because when I went blonde, I was going to be a bridesmaid,

but I put off going blonde until after the wedding just in case it wasn't, just in case it upset the bride because I didn't want to do anything. But had she asked me, she never would, but had she asked me, I'd be like, um, excuse me. Rude. You can't tell me what to do with my hair. But I just don't think that's okay. She probably will overshadow you with her great boobs, but, you know, she's your friend.

It is always weird how you're like, well, I'm not going to do it because obviously it's their thing. And then, so they ask you to do it, something you weren't going to do anyway. They ask you not to. And you're like, don't tell me what to do. And you do it, even though you had no intention to do it. But because you were asked to do it, now you're going to do it.

Yeah. All right. Next on the show, we are going to move to our outside broadcast location at the Palms. We are outside Coffee Culture. And from 7.30, we're going to be dropping chips into a dip from a Disney end. We're going to be trying to. We're trying to from six meters. Our cash chip dip, it is a chance for you to win $1,000. We're going to be trying to. We're trying to from six metres. Our cash chip dip,

it is a chance for you to win $1,000. We're going to run through some testings. Yeah, test the atmospheric conditions. Maybe you go up first in the scissor lift just in case it's broken.

I do have a all wobbly history with scissor lifts as well. I'm probably the most skilled person. Yeah. I was sorry, I talked over you there.

I didn't hear why you thought I should go up. What was your reason for it? Because you're most experienced. Yeah, I thought so. That's what everybody said. Yeah. You're right, eh?

Fleece, Vaughan and Megan's Cash Chip Dip. Do you believe in chip and dip? Yes, hello. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fleece, Vaughan and Megan. We've moved to our outside broadcast location. Who are we? Do you want the current weather stats?

Yeah, go on. Seven degrees. Yeah. And how do you get the wind? Oh, here we go. Wind. Get on the bottom. It's a three kilometre an hour westerly, which is nothing.

Nothing. It's good chip-dropping conditions. We are going to drop a chip, or you could drop a chip if you're in Christchurch, from a scissor lift. Yep, scissor lift in place. Chips in hand. Not yet, but we've got the bags of the chips here.

I won't say chip in hand. That makes it sound like we're ready to drop. But there are a few things to work through before our first drop closer to 7.30. That's right. So your chance to win $1,000 cash if you're in Christchurch. We're in the Palms. We're in the Palms. We're at the Palms, but outside coffee culture. By the Palms.

Yes. Fake Palms. Fake. Fake. They look great, though. They look great. But they're not real. To ensure survival in a Christchurch winter.

Ah, right. Yes. So we've got $1,000. Either if you come down, if you're in Christchurch, or if you're listening wherever you are in the country, call up after 7.30. We could be dropping the chip for you. So a lot to do before we do that. We've got to test the scissor lift.

We've got to get our dip ready because it'll be the people that get the chip in the dip going in to win the $1,000 cash. We've got multiple bowls, too. We need to make sure we've got the right bowl, the right vessel. Yeah, that's going to be a hard decision, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking a smaller bowl.

I don't want something large, bucket-y situation. Yeah, but then more people go in the drawer if there's a bigger bowl. Less about the drawer, more about the excitement. Right. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

Just grabbing a handful of chips. I am in a scissor lift. And this is thanks to Hyapool who have lent us this scissor lift for this morning. It goes to an extended height of six metres, which is how high we're going to be when we're dropping the chip into a bowl of dip. And if you can do that just after 7.30 in person or get someone to do it for you over the phone, $1,000. Now, Vaughan, you haven't done the training for this, have you?

No, I haven't. I haven't done the training. I arrived too late for the training. You've got an operator. We've got a trained professional, and we're just going to go up now. Now, who are you entrusting there with your life? Josh. Josh.

Josh's. Okay. Yeah, I can hear some beeps. She's got a bit of a wobble. I'm not going to lie to you, Josh. She's got a bit of a wobble on. Is that six metres? Is it Josh?

Is that six? Yeah, that is. That's really high. That's pretty high. Do you reckon you could drop a chip in my mouth? Okay, you open your... I'm going to have to get one that's... Hang on.

This is quite sexy, actually. Now you have my headphones on the side. Okay, yeah, you have a face, Sid. If you move your microphone out of your mouth, you might actually get it in. I reckon, though, that there's not a lot of wind. They were mostly coming straight. I reckon a lot of people are going to be able to get in the bowl.

There's absolutely not a breath of wind going through the fake palm trees. So, yeah, I think wind's not a huge factor because, of course, Tristan, our physics expert, was worried about atmospheric conditions. Yeah. Right. So the idea is to drop the chip in the dip. Jeez. Oh, God. Did it move?

I think there's going to be a bit. If you're afraid of heights, there could be a bit of in the wobble that could get in the head, you know. A lot of sports is a psychology of it. Well, see the wobble that could get in the head, you know. A lot of sports is the psychology of it. Well, see, that's another thing to take into account with the physics. There will be a slight wobble. Yeah. Oh, maybe.

Jump. You've got some hecklers this early in the morning. Very early for heckling. Very, very early for heckling. Don't be a chicken, jump. Sensible. Sensible. Sensible advice. So are you actually going to, have you dropped all your chips already? Yeah, no, I've got all my chips.

I was just, were we going down there? Because it felt like we were going down. No, we weren't. That was all in here. All in here. All right, take us down. Okay, well, this is great. Oh, that's a quick descent.

This is great. So I think wind conditions are perfect. Scissor lift is ready to go. Thank you to Hyer Paul. Again, fantastic. Now we've just got to sort out the dip container. I think wind conditions are perfect. Scissor lift is ready to go. Thank you to Hypole again. Fantastic. Now we've just got to sort out the dip container. Yeah.

So up from that height, Vaughan, do you think, what do we think for this chippy, the dip vessel? I think the same sort of size bowl we had the other day. It worked like your standard sort of soupy dessert bowl. Pudding bowl. Yeah. Your pudding bowl. Good, because I want to eat some of that. Okay. All right. There's a lot of dip there. Pudding bowl. Yeah. Your pudding bowl. Good, because I want to eat some of that. Okay, all right.

Yeah, there's a lot of dip there. Small pudding bowl. Brilliant. All right, Warg. Because that bowl that we had on the ground there just for scale size was kind of what your mum puts a salad in when she's going to a barbecue.

Yes, and then she'll want the plate back though before she will. She'll say something along the lines of, keep the salad, but I'll grab the plate. And then you'll be like, where's mum? And she's in the kitchen dishing up everything onto paper plates so everyone can take

their dishes home. Today broadcasting our show live in Christchurch we're outside the Palms. Our cash chip dip is underway soon at 7.30 with a chance for you to win

$1,000 cash. But guys, there is some news and it's about people under 55 and about how useless we are so hold on not everybody surely not okay so not everybody a study's been done um with 2 000 drivers um and about like how they can um i guess look after their car and what they can do okay to their car

yeah so 45 of those aged over 55 would tackle changing a tyre. They could change a tyre. Yeah. They could do that. Just 19% of 18 to 24-year-olds would do the same or could change a tyre. So I wouldn't because I doubt myself and I blame the over 55s for making me doubt myself.

Oh, you're blaming generational doubt passing. Yeah. See, because I would be worried that I hadn't screwed it on properly or something. Right. Right, what about filling up your window washers? Because only 56% of people, 18 to 24, would do that. What do they do when they run out?

I don't know. They just go for a dry rub. You've got to add moisture on your windscreen. You get home and you're like, yes, I'm home, and go inside, and the next time you need your window wipers, you're like, that's all right. I'll even put some bug off in there. You've got to have a little bit of bug off.

But you're over 55 at heart. At heart I am, yeah. I know it drives me nuts. At the moment my Honda's getting to the point where you squirt, and it goes squirt, but there's a little bit of a with air at the end, and I'm like, you need to top up, my friend. And you're going to get some bug off. How old is that car?

Because we came to the airport in that car, and it smells like you're a smoker, but you're not. Your car smells like, I don't know why it smells like durries. Also, you told me that seat was broken, and I laid down that whole drive. Oh, no, it wasn't. No, I didn't. I said, you might want to put that seat up. And I think you thought I said you can't put that seat up. So she was like reclined

like a boy racer for the whole drive to work the other day. Yeah. I was like, she just must want to have a snooze. I thought it was broken. It is early. A bit of a crowd here outside Coffee Culture at the Palms in Christchurch. Would you change, do you know how to change a tyre? Oh, no, not at all. How old are you? I'm 21. Right, so if you got a flatty, what would you do?

Oh, ring mum or dad. Yeah. For sure, not a doubt about it. Or you just pull over on the motorway and you're like, help me. Okay, what about you, flat tyre? I'm ashamed to say, no. Okay, flat tyre? Yeah.

You'd change it? Yes. Have you done that before? Not on a car, like a road car. But a bike car. A bike car. A bike car. A race car. Yes, girl.

Right, you've changed to a race car tyre. Yes. So what, it pulled in and you're like, no! Because that's a bit different because in a car you've got to be like, which way, lefty, loosey, and then you do them all unloose a little bit and then you jack it up. And then you take it off and then to be like, which way, lefty, loosey. And then you do them all unloose a little bit, and then you jack it up. And then you take it off, and then you...

No, so not like that. No, not like that. Oh, okay, right. That's still very impressive. You can change a tire. Change one tire, you've changed them all. Yeah. Okay.

What was the other one? The windscreen wiper fluid, and what else did they have? What about you, young man? How old are you? Oh, gosh. I don't need a car. I'm just trying? Oh, gosh. I don't have a car. I don't have a car. If you had a car,

would you change a tyre? So I got my bike, got a flatty and I had to take it to the bike store. That's pathetic. Because I don't have the things to get the thing off the thing.

Yeah, okay. Or know what anything on your bike is called, apparently. The rim. Yeah. You've got to get the tyre off the rim to get the tube out.

Yes. But I don't have those lever things. Don't you just use like a shoehorn or a bit of plastic or... I don't have a shoehorn or a bit of plastic. Like a spatula? I've got a spatula.

I'm not using a kitchen utensil on my greasy bike. If you're not willing to use a kitchen utensil on a tyre change, you're not really changing a tyre. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Live at the Palms today, giving away $1,000 after 7.30

with our cash chip dip. And the reason, if you've just joined us and wondering why we're doing this, is we do Food Fight. It's an Instagram voting competition looking for New Zealand's favourite food. Yeah, different categories, different things. We've done fast food. This time was the chippy edition.

The crisps, some call them the potato chips. And it came down to salt and vinegar chips. Winning through rounds of voting. Those losing eliminated. The king or queen of the chip has been crowned. And if you can drop that chip into the dip, $1,000. Now, you will be in a scissor lift, or one of us will be up there doing it for you.

Bluebird, salt and vinegar is the winning salt and vinegar chip, by the way. They've actually sent us a year's supply. So they've given us a year's supply. So the winner not only wins $1,000, but gets a year's supply. And then we'll talk to you in a year time and see if it's still New Zealand's favourite chip. You might be ready to try something else at the end of the year if nothing but salt and vinegar. Who knows? Now, one of the things that we've done this week

is test with a physics professor. Yes. We've tested, like, we've talked velocity, all kinds of things, wind direction. That's all you remember. That's all I remember.

Velocity and other things. That's all. Were you with the teachers, Pete? What do you remember? Oh, drag was a big one in atmospheric conditions, like the drag of the wind and the shape of the ship.

So if you're actually dropping it, you've got to hold it flat? The best technique is to pinch a finger each side and then a quick release as flat as you can. Yeah, curbside down. In front of you, Megan, we've got a giant bowl of dip. It's a salad bowl of dip. Now, we've used that horrible wallpaper dip, wallpaper paste dip. You watch yourself.

That's the kiwi onion dip and reduced cream. Yeah, the only one in New Zealand that doesn't like this dip. Wallpaper paste dip. You watch yourself. That's the kiwi onion dip and reduced cream. Yeah, the only one in New Zealand that doesn't like this dip. Oh, smell it. Mm-hmm. That's too much onion for this time of the morning

to smell. So what size bowl? Are we going to go little, little bowl or medium-sized bowl or giant bowl? We've got a real Goldilocks. It's like if Goldilocks and the We've got a real Goldilocks.

It's like if Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but it was Goldilocks and the Catholic Bears because there's lots of bowls here of all varying shapes and sizes. This is a flat cupboard, you know? You don't have matching bowls. Yeah, it really is. It's a jangled mess of what you can steal from Mum and Dad without them noticing. Yeah.

What about this one, this lovely silver one? We've come down to our two bowl selections. We've got a very standard-looking cereal bowl, the vegan-spec fletch. You've got a slightly high-walled bowl. So the thing I like about my bowl here is that it's got, like, the mouth of it opens up a little bit. But there's more space. Yeah, I know.

I want people to get it in. You know what? Actually, only very minimally, half a centimetre either side. That get it in. You know what, actually? I'm just putting that on top. Only very minimally. Yeah. Half a centimetre either side. That's a good Kmart bowl there, actually. I was going to say, is that a Kmart bowl? Yes, it is. Brilliant.

Okay, great. Okay, well. Stoneware made in China. It's got a 1-800 number if you need some support. Should we do a super quick vote on our Instagram? Because Anya's manning or womanning the Instagram. You guys hold a bowl each. She's going to take a photo and say, which bowl should we use?

And then when we're about to start, whatever bowl is winning. And then we'll do that thing where we delete the poll. Because it'll be annoying that people are still voting on it, even though voting will no longer count. Yeah, exactly. All right, good chance. So those are our two bowl finalists. Fletchvorna Megan, the podcast, ZM. Meanwhile in Auckland, police will be trying to determine So those are our two bowl finalists.

Meanwhile in Auckland, police will be trying to determine who exactly the scallywag is that took a lime scooter over the Auckland Harbour Bridge last night. Oh, so they don't actually know who it was. They know that they were getting an escort. Maybe they've already got them. Because at 6.45 last night,

shielded by a ute behind him with hazard lights on. A ute escort? You know, the Kiwi escort. Yeah, the Kiwi way. A guy went over the Auckland Harbour Bridge on a lime scooter. No helmet, in a t-shirt, and over he went.

Ute behind him. We don't know if the ute was associated or the ute was just like, this guy's going to die, I'm going to play safeguard and block him and put on my hazard lights. But of course, causing traffic issues because limes

only go 30 kilometres top speed and the minute you start going uphill, you lose all of that top speed. Pretty downhill on the Harbour Bridge, you might be able to get up to 50.

Down the other side. Down the other side. It's one thing to go over the Harbour Bridge in a car or a bus or whatever, but when you, we've run over it for the marathon, the half marathon. It's one thing to go over the Harbour Bridge in a car or a bus or whatever, but when you, like, when you run over it for the marathon, the half marathon,

it's really steep. Like, when you're actually going up it on foot, you're just like, it's quite deceptive, eh? The gradient's very deceptive in a car. I feel you'd get to the top on a Lime Scooter and be like, I've made a bad decision. Here we go. I have not thought this through at all. And then you see it's one of those Lime lime scooters that's been harangued on the weekend

and it's break things broken and then you've got absolutely no way of slowing yourself down. The limitation on the speed, has that been put on yet? Because there's going to be a limited speed in the CBD, so 15 k's, right? Yeah, when you come flying into Auckland CBD on a lime at 27 k's an hour, it's going to have a GPS brake effectively and you go into a zone, it'll slow you right down to a top speed of 15km an hour. Because if I was going

up the Harbour Bridge, I would definitely need a run up. Well, you'd need a push. You'd need to be push kick. You'd be kicking yourself the whole way out. But it was northbound. Going northbound. Right, and there was a guy last year that got photographed or filmed. But whatever happened to him?

Because that was a story, like, wasn't it around December? Going over the Harbour Bridge. Yeah. On a Lime scooter. Yeah. Was he? This is, like, the second one. Oh, this guy's not even worth talking about then.

Sorry, mate. It's already been done. Sorry. No, your yesterday's bloody news, mate. You're not interested now. No, I'm not interested now. I only like innovators. I don't like copycats. All right, okay. It's been done, mate. You're not interested now. No, I'm not interested now. I only like innovators. I don't like copycats.

All right, okay. It's been done, mate. Right over something exciting. You know what he needs to do? Ride around the skywalk thing, around the top of the skyscraper. Oh, yeah, that'd be impressive. But obviously, let them know. Flash-forwarding Megan's Cash Chip Dip.

Do you believe in chip in a dip? And we have brought... Guys, can I get some compliments about my singing again for that? I was just thinking how awful that is, so we keep playing that. What? Excuse me, I'm right here, Megan. Even with the auto-tune. Okay, so we are here broadcasting live outside the Palms,

outside Coffee Culture here, who have given us some plugs to plug our broadcasting equipment into, so thank you so much and we are celebrating the fact that the Bluebird salt and vinegar chip is New Zealand's favourite chip

you voted in our final we had 20,000 votes so I mean I don't know that's pretty scientific it is the people spoke

the people spoke so right now we have $1,000 up for grabs and a year's supply of Bluebird salt and vinegar chips oh yes just saw that the sizzler had a horn I could not hold back for one second longer $1,000 up for grabs and a year's supply of Bluebird salt and vinegar chips.

Oh, yes! Just saw that the sizzle lift had a horn. I could not hold back for one second longer. I apologise that you were in the middle of something. Now, so how this works is, Vaughan, you're on the sizzle lift that we've got. Thank you to Hyer Paul as well, who have loaned us this. Now, the idea is we will go up to about six metres on the scissor lift and drop a chip into a bowl of dip. Now, we voted for the grey bowl, the lovely grey bowl.

Yes, the Kmart bowl. Lovely bowl. The Kmart bowl that Fletcher's holding in the Instagram vote. And everybody that gets the chip in goes in the draw to win $1,000. Sounds easy. Now, it may be that nobody gets it in and we get to spend that $1,000. Hooray. Or five people get it in, so we have to draw a winner.

Or maybe just one. I don't know. We don't need to do the draw, but we'll do a draw anyway because we've got the draw lollipop thingy. So a couple of ways. You can either call 0800-DARS-IT-M and we'll drop the chip for you, or you can come down to the Palms and do it. I'm thinking we'll probably finish up around 8.20, 8.15, 8.20.

So you've got to be here before then, and we'll try to get through everybody. So there's an orderly queue having formed already. This is how it's going to go. You'll step forward, pick your chip from a bowl of chips, and then you will come into the sizzle of being very careful not to break your chip because that's the only chip you get.

Hang on, what about if you just dropped a crumb? Would that be okay? Well, what if it broke mid-air and part of the chip, is that what you mean, part of the chip goes in the dip? If it broke mid-air and part of the chip goes in, that's going to be fine. Now, James, the producer, you're the official, I guess, bad guy.

Adjudicator. The adjudicator here for the cash chip dip. I'll be making sure everything stays in line while we're dropping the chips as well. We have had a few people saying as well, you can't crush the chip up and dust it over the wall no you will be disqualified someone messaged me on instagram asking if they could chew the chip up and spit the glob jewel into it and i said absolutely not it's a chip drop don't be so grim yeah that's like yeah that's worse than double dipping a chip in the dip yuck bullets okay Well, it's goobling in the dip.

Now, so during some tests that we had, a chip bounced in after it hit the concrete into the bowl of dip. James, will that be allowed? No, that won't be allowed. It has to leave the fingertips into the dip. Nothing has to touch it on the way through. What if on the way down it bounces off the scissor lift and goes into the dip? No.

Okay, so nothing. It's not even allowed to touch. It has to be straight into the dip. You can't ricochet it. What about if it hits the side of the bowl and into the dip? I'd be happy with that. That's just a... That's counted as a basket in basketball.

Yeah, it is. True. So that's nothing. You've got your nothing but net and then you've got your... It goes in off the rim. We've got nothing but dip. That's what we'll say. Nothing but chip. Nothing but chip and dip. That's what we'll say. Nothing but chip.

Nothing but chip. Nothing but dip. Exactly. Great. All right, well, I mean, I guess we should start this. Who wants to go first? Who have we got? Megan, go pick someone from the line.

Okay, what's your name? Cola. Cole. Cola. Cole is going to go first. You pick your chip. It's just very cold here. We're all having trouble speaking.

It's like 70 degrees. Did you hear us talk to our physics professor on which chip was the best for the dropping in the dip? He didn't. He didn't. Okay. Get a round one. A roundish one.

Or you just do whatever you like. All right. Now, Vaughan. Oh, a lot of deliberation. We're allowed three people on the scissor lift at a time. We've got the operator who's been through the safety course. Correct. Yes.

And you're up there. And you'll take our listeners up. Cole, jump on up, mate. Jump on up. Mount the scissor lift. Cole's chosen a fairly flat chip. It's quite large. A large flat.

But it doesn't have a huge curvature to it. See, I think the smaller, flat, less curvy chip's better. We've got to shut this gate, Cole. Come in a bit closer. We've got to shut this gate for safety purposes. Horn, can you give us a horn before you take off, please? Yeah, I'll just give it a safety horn. Beep, beep. Horn, can you give us a horn before you take off, please? Yeah, I'll just give it a safety horn. Beep, beep.

Yeah, thank you. That was good. Let's begin our ascent. Ascend. We're ascending. Yeah, because the opposite's descend. Yeah, yeah. You'll be descending later.

I don't know if it was ascend or ascent. We begin our ascent. But it's great. We get the beeping, the flashing lights. Yeah. Vaughan is making his way up to six metres. Cole, how are you with heights?

Great by the sounds of these. Holy trip is what he said there. He's holding on two hands very tightly. Okay. Hold on, what's that beeping noise? What? We're into the bloody safety course.

You tell me. And now we're two things are beeping. Are you overweight? How dare you, bitch? You wouldn't say that if I was down there with you, because I would slap you. Are we? What's...

I don't want to die. There's three men up there who have just gripped the railing now. Oh, my God, he just pushed the big red button that says stop. I was just expecting to plummet. It didn't happen. And thanks again to the provider of this is a lift hire pool. Wonderful thing.

All right, Kyle. Do we want every time this happens for the crowd to go, oh? And then if it goes in a chair, yeah, that sounds good. All right, so we'll ask the crowd to join in. Here we go. Kyle, are you ready? Yep. We'll do it three, go, oh. And then if it goes in a chair, yeah, that sounds good. All right, so we'll ask the crowd to join in. Here we go. Kyle, are you ready? Yep. We'll do it three, two, one.

Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Oh my God, that's outrageous. Ready, crowd? Here we go. Oh. What are you doing down there, mate? You've got to drop it from six metres.

You've got to drop it above the bar. Oh my God. Was Kyle listening at all to the safety? First one's always got to test the parents, don't they? Here we go. Down in the platform. Here we go. Oh.

Yeah. Oh. Missed. Cole, missed there by about a foot and a half, mate. How do you feel? Oh, no. It's all right. Okay.

All right. Well, come down. We'll do that again. All right. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. So we worked out what the beeping was before. You weren't allowed to go too high with that weight, so. Why do you always say this when I'm not down there to give you a punch?

And you just ate a bagel. Can we afford for you to eat that bagel? But it's not beeping because I think, yeah, I think you've... Yeah. I've picked a small person to go with. Yeah, I didn't want to say it, but you have picked a real small person there. How much do you weigh? Vaughan!

Vaughan! What? Excuse me. You don't ask people that. All right, so I've got a bowl of chips that I'm not allowed to drop the bowl because it will shatter and we'll be in big trouble. And every person I saw when I had the bowl said, don't drop that while you're up there, so I'll do my best not to.

Yeah, right. So you're perching it precariously on the edge of that railing. Pretty much, yeah. Now, so, shall we... You're going to drop for some listeners around the country. Do we want to do... Oh, what's your name? Alan. Alan, you drop your chip first. Yeah, you go first. I can linger in my failure. Oh, babes, you're right. Alan, have drop your chip first. Yeah, you go first. All right. I can linger in my failure.

Oh, babes, you're right. Ellen, have it on faith, Ellen. Good technique. Oh, no, it got the spin on. It drifted way to the side, babes. It got the spin on, and then it was all out. I think here the thumb might have just kind of clipped the side of the chip there. We're going to go to Ali in Auckland.

Ali, good morning. Good morning. Okay, Vaughan's going to drop your chip now, Ali. Ali, this is the chip I picked out right at the start, okay? So this is the king chip. Okay, get it in the hole. It's got a hole in it, though, Vaughan. I can see a hole in it.

No, it's just a thin bit. Oh, right, okay. Oh. Oh, my. It was lined up. I so thought that was going in, Ali. Sorry, Ali. Literally, like, maybe 20 centimetres away there. Sarah in Auckland. Sarah, good morning. Vaughan has a going to happen, Ellie. Sorry, Ellie. Literally like maybe 20 centimetres away there.

Sarah in Auckland. Sarah, good morning. Vaughan has a chip for you, Sarah. Do what I can here, Sarah. Best of luck. Here we go. Three, two, one. That fell pretty flat.

So that was a medium to small-sized chip. It actually fell quite straight. Let's go to Shelly. Let's go to Shelly who's standing by, I believe. Shelley in North Canterbury, good morning. Hi, how are you going? Good, good, thank you, Shelley. All right, Vaughan is standing by.

Any words for Vaughan? Go for the bullseye, Vaughan. I'm going for the bullseye. Here we go. Drop. No, no, no, no, no. Shelley, that was the worst drop of the morning. Oh, it was terrible, Shelley.

It actually went out of our designated area. The chip just started spinning the minute I left my hand. Okay, Kyron in Auckland, or is that right? Kyron? Do we have Kyron? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm out. Good morning, Kyron. G'day, mate.

All right, g'day, mate. Here we go. I've dropped it already. Didn't happen, Kyron. Disappointing. Any words for Vaughan there? That was a disappointing drop. Can I try again, though?

I didn't even get to pick a chip or anything. You're not here, babe. He didn't even give Kyron a chance to pick a chip. We're trying to get through as many as possible. Do we have anybody else? Yeah, we've got other people. Okay, let's go to somebody else. Do you not feel sorry for Kyron? No, but Kyron.

No, I've got to pick a chip. Okay, yeah, true. This chip that I'm going to drop next is folded in different chip. No, I've got to pick a chip. Okay, yeah, true. This is Kyron. This chip that I'm going to drop next is folded in half. Those are my favourite to eat out of a packet. Connor, good morning

in Auckland. Connor? Good morning. Hi, guys. How we doing? Do you want Vaughn to drop the folded in half chip

or do you want more of a flat one? Oh, I'm going to go with the folded in half chip. I'm feeling it. Yeah, I would too. Here we go.

Here we go. Three, two, one, releasing. It dropped at speed, though. Yeah, I would too. Here we go. Here we go. Three, two, one, releasing. Oh! It dropped at speed, though. Yeah, it fell really quick, didn't it? Unfortunately, Connor not in for that $1,000. Bex in Ototirua, good morning. Hi, good morning, guys.

Good morning. All right, Vaughan is going to drop your chip for you. Slam dunk it. Any words? Slam dunk it, she says. Slam dunk it. Oh! Oh, my God!

That was close. This is the stupidest yet most thrilling thing I've ever been a part of. Oh, I believe we've got Natalie in Auckland. We can do Natalie in Auckland. Just one quick... Natalie. Hi. Yep.

No, Natalie, sorry. Vaughan just hit the wheel. I dropped Natalie's chip before she even said hi. Maybe go again for Natalie. Do you reckon go again? Yeah, go again. I felt like you brushed that. Okay, I don't know, Natalie.

You were the only one. I feel bad for Kyra now because he didn't get a second drop, did he? Yeah. Three, two, one, release. Oh! Right beside the bone. Oh, my God. Oh, that would be like three centimetres.

What a great podcast so far, wouldn't you agree, Fletch? Yes. And it's all thanks to Spark. Get one gig of bonus data with the Spark U25 pack. Now, back to the podcast. Now, Vaughn, you are currently up the scissor lift. Yeah, I've just demanded a fresh bag of chippies be poured in, so we've got a few more options to pick from.

Okay. What's your name? Caitlin. Hi, Caitlin. Can you please tell Caitlin that she's allowed to manoeuvre around there? Like, because you're hogging the middle. Yeah, but you're hogging the central drop zone. It's easy to say, ground guy, but someone who's six meters high on a small sizzle,

maneuvering around each other is not that easy. All right, Caitlin, you drop, and then we're going to do some people on the phone. Can I ask, Caitlin, you've been standing here watching people drop. Do you see anything people are doing wrong? I feel like you've just got to wing it. Oh, okay. It's luck, eh? That's just great

life advice too. Don't plan too far ahead. Isn't it? Just wing it. Alright, when you're ready. Oh no. Oh my God. You just wung it.

You just wung that all over the place. Yeah, it didn't go in. Alright, okay. We are going to take some calls to wherever you are in the country right now, 0800 dials at end. Liana, good morning. Hi.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Now, Liana, any words for Vaughan before he drops your chip? Take your time. Okay. Three, two, one, release. I felt everyone hold their breath. I know. That was a good drop. Three, two, one, release. Oh.

I felt everyone hold their breath. I know. That was a good drop. It was about, I'd say about 20 centimetres away, Liana. Yeah, not the closest, but it was a steady chip drop. It was. Wilson. Wilson and Wellington.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning again. All right. Okay. All right. Here we go. Here's your drop.

Three, two, one, release. Oh, my God. That was probably the closest one today Three, two, one, release. Oh, my God. That was probably the closest one today. You kept it very straight line. I'm sorry, Wilson. I'm sorry. Thank you. Kristen and Wellington, good morning. Hi.

Okay, any words for Vaughan? Words of encouragement. Oh, good luck. No, that was more than luck. A metre and a half away. Yeah, that was a bit of a rubbish drop from you, though, more than luck. A metre and a half away. Yeah, that was a... Bit of a rubbish drop from you, though, Vaughan. Good morning, Kate in New Plymouth.

Good morning. Hello. From my home city. Any words for Vaughan before he drops this check? Good luck. Just good luck. Let's see if we can't inject $1,000 into the New Plymouth economy. Well, that'd be nice, wouldn't it?

No, not today. Sorry, New Plymouth. Hey, thanks, Leona. Kayla and Marston, good morning. Hi. All right, Kayla. All right, I just

picked a chip. This is a pretty good chip. Oh! It really twisted in the wind there, It did. It kind of, it was going left

and then it arced in hard but just overshot the board a little too much. Sorry. All right. Flashborn and Megan's Cash Chip Dip. Do you believe in chip and a dip? That's right.

We are here broadcasting live in Christchurch this morning with our Cash Chip Dip. We are trying to drop a chip into a small bowl of dip from a height. Yep. And I tell you what, Vaughan, it's been half an hour and we haven't had any height. Yep. And I tell you what Vaughan, it's been half an hour and we haven't had any success. No, we got the little work raffly

draw machine because we thought so many people would be getting it in. But we have not yet had a chip land in the dip. And one thing to consider, kiwi onion dip's what we've used here. Yep. The classic sort of party dip. Very different in a seven degree outside temperature.

It's very hard, isn't it? It's very hard. Like a chip might even... Oh! Another drop there. Just dropped a foot to the left. Thoughts on making the bowl bigger? No.

No. The thing is... What are we just going to keep going? We say fast. Are we just going to keep going? The thing is, if you look at the ground, you can see that all the chips are close. They're all around the bowl. It's not as if they're miles away.

No. We only need one person to get it in. All right. Well, we're going to come back next on the show, and 0800 dials at M. We're going to just go through the lines. If you would like your shot at winning $1,000, do you think maybe it needs to be Megan dropping the chips, Vaughn?

She's more than welcome. Oh, she's a little bit with heights, though, isn't she? I'm terrified of heights. It's weird because you just go straight up and then you realise how high you are. And the genie, 1932, there from Hypole. She's a beautiful... Oh! That was just a hit!

A chip just came in. That fell with force. Asteroid. Asteroid strike chip. Flesh, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Beep,ch, Vaughan and Megan The podcast ZM Beep beep

Vaughan you're up there Thank you for the long weekend group Someone just long weekend group Turned it at a distance Great practice Because we are already Two weeks away From the long weekend

Next long weekend group I'm going to start practicing Now Vaughan You'll be dropping Four listeners very soon But there has been Some controversy There has been

Because over the course Of that Billie Eilish song At the start of it, there was no chips in the dip bowl. Now, there's one chip in the dip bowl, and that dropper is Kate. Good morning. Good morning. Now, Kate, you let go of your chip. It hit

the scissor lift, scissory bit. Yeah. It bounced on the ground and into the bowl. Yes, it was a bit of an accident. Premature drop. It had quite the journey. It was brilliant was a bit of an accident. Premature job. It was brilliant because you were like, ah! And you saw it fall and it bounced off the ground and everyone was just like, oh my god, trick shot. Amazing trick shot.

However, sadly... Adjudicated James. Yeah, I am sorry to say but the rules were that the chip had to leave the hand and hit the dip without hitting the ground, so I'm sorry. It does not qualify. James is now going to walk to the bowl of dip and remove the chip.

In dramatic fashion. And he's taking the chip out of the dip there. Is he going to eat it? No. He's tossed it away. He's tossed it away like it is trash. Well, Kate, even though it was an accidental slip out of your

hands, you have come the closest to getting the chip in the dip. Yes. All right. So right now, 0800 DARS at

M, we're going to take some calls from around the country. It is so cold here. It's like seven degrees.

So I'm just stalling for time while my fingers are cold. Just be careful, mate. Your Auckland's showing.

Put your Auckland away. We're going to go to Roko and Danny Burke. Roko, good morning. How's it? Good, mate. Now, any words of advice for Vaughan, who's going to drop you a chip?

Oh, good luck, mate. Nothing. Nothing. A three, two, one, chip drop. Oh! My God, that was so close. That was good. Inches away.

Sorry, mate. Shaina and Palmy, good morning. Shaina? Hi. We've got a good-sized chip for you. I'd say it would be maybe an inch and a half by an inch. No. No.

No, I'm afraid not, Shaina. Sorry, Shaina. It broke in two. Tiffany in Christchurch, you can't make it down to the palms where we are, but you're at work. Yeah, I'm at work this morning. Okay. I got a good one for you, Tiffany.

Here we go. Oh! That curved! I thought you'd really screwed that up, and it curved back in. It was close, Tiffany, but unfortunately no $1,000 for you. Angela in Auckland, good morning.

Good morning. Angela, I'm letting it go now. Oh! When you hear silence, you know it's good, because everyone's like, ooh! in Auckland. Good morning. Good morning. Angela, I'm letting it go now. Oh! When you hear silence, you know it's good because everyone's like... You were about two inches away from the dip there, Angela. Sorry for that. Just go this way a bit more. I've got another

folded chip. Yeah, whatever you're doing, just do it two inches less. Leave me alone. You haven't dropped a single chip. And you've called me fat three times. I love it. I love the sizzle.

Well, the sizzle beat because it was overweight is all I'm saying. It usually was in the digital display. It kept saying OL, overload. LOL. We would have been having fun at least. Bridget in Rotorua, good morning. Hello. Hello. Now, I've got a folded chip for you, Bridget. Rotorua, good morning. Hello. Hello.

Now, I've got a folded chip for you, Bridget. This folded chip, I think it's going to project itself down. Would you like the folded chip or would you like a standard chip? I don't know. I'm just thinking just to throw it good. I'm sorry I asked. Just do the fold. Oh, right behind the ball. So close.

So close. All good. Tiffany, good morning, Tiffany. Do we have a Tiffany? No. Anne-Marie in Tauranga. Yep. Here we go.

Dropping it for you. Oh, last-minute twist. This trip's a deceptive little bit. Are we going to give away the $1 deceptive little brothers. Are we going to give away the $1,000? At what point are we going to go big a bowl? Well, we're not going to. Christine in Auckland, good morning. Hi.

That's my mum's name. So that might be a good omen. It might be a good omen. And she loves a chip. Okay. Oh, I was like, it's going to go after that build up. I was like, it's going in, but it didn't. Hannah and Palmy, good morning, Hannah. Hi. Okay.

Don't worry, mate. Are you listening to this drama? Are you even confident that everyone's going to be able to do this? No. What was that? What? What was that? I tell you what.

That was a drop. That was a real poor attitude from you for Hannah. You weren't happy with what she said there. My drop matched Hannah's attitude. I matched my drop to the attitude. Hannah, thank you. Tyler in Auckland. Good morning, Tyler.

Good morning. I just dropped yours already, Tyler. I was just like, let's get through these. But it was really close. If that makes you feel better. But no cigar. Charlotte in Auckland. Good morning, Charlotte.

Good morning. You might have just heard the chip hit the ground there, Charlotte. It did not land in the bowl. Oh, thank you. Thousands of apologies. Can I maybe suggest something? Can we come back next, but Megan drops them? Because she's really good with heights.

No. She's great with heights. I don't think I can even have one hand off the railing. Okay, one more. Have we got one more caller? We can do one more. Ange in Hamilton. Good morning, Ange.

Morning. Okay, great bubbly attitude. Yeah, Ange sounds great. Ange, a good job. I'm just thinking, because I'm from Hamilton too, so I can say this. We're a bit mongrel from Hamilton, so I'm kind of wondering if I can...

A mongrel chip. Good. Maybe it's a bit broken. Maybe it's got a big, like, green corner. I've found it. It's got a burnt corner on it. Okay, done. Okay.

For Hamilton. Nah. That was a Hamilton of a drop too. Sorry. It was like a metre away. Ooh, that is a nasty chip. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Well, we are trying to give away $1,000.

You'd think it'd be easy. You... So we're... Megan is now going up in the sizzler. She's not great with heights, are you, Megs? Nah. Nah. But I think we needed...

Oh, my God, Josh! It's a rough finish. Jeez, Louise. Is that how your feedback is? Oh, yeah. Jesus, Josh, that was a rough finish. Oh,. Is that how your feedback is? Ah, yeah. Jesus, Josh, that was a rough finish. Oh my God, okay.

So the idea, if you've just joined us, we're trying to drop a chip into a dip to give away $1,000. Now, you can call 0800-DARLS-NM right now and Megan can drop it for you.

Vaughan, you've been dropping throughout the morning. Absolutely no luck. Looking down here at the ground, there are like 100 chips around one bowl of dip and not one has gone in. No. It's weird, right?

Yeah. The ground is literally covered in chips. Except the bowl. There's some that are very, very close. There's the odd patch around it with no chips, but surely you'd think just the scattershot. What are you just dropping random chips on there? I'm practicing. You're practicing?

Because if you get it in... Josh, can you keep still, please? All right, we're going to start with Nicole and Danita. Good morning, Nicole. Hi, how are you guys?

Good, thank you. Now, we've changed to Megan, so we're hoping here that Girl Power can win here. Yeah, Girl Power. Megan, you've got this.

I've got you, Phil. Okay, here we go. Also, Megan, I'm just going to have to ask you to keep your arm above the rail height that's oh i'm sorry i'm calling connor and i don't know good morning connor hi okay now megan's gonna drop for you now oh about a foot away about a foot away drop drop it a bit more this way how is your how are you looking central i'll tell you you what, I feel like generally... Go this way a little bit more.

Natasha. Yeah, the hill straight above it. Natasha, good morning. Hello. Okay, Natasha. Megan, standing by. I'm dropping. No.

I caught a bit of wind there, I'm afraid, Natasha. You're getting further away there, Megan. Oh, all right, says the guy who's not been up here yet. See how hard it is to be up there and be gritty. Yeah, I apologise. Good morning. Hi, morning. Kia ora.

Okay, so we've got Megan standing by. Megan, I have met you. About 20 centimetres away, I'd say. It did feel good. I'm sorry. It did feel good. Amy in Christchurch, good morning. Yes, hi.

How are you? Good. Currently on your way to work now. Any words for Megan? Any words of advice? You can do it, Megan. We believe in you. Thank you, babes.

I've picked this special chip. I feel this chip is it. The secret. Oh, no. No, it's a manky ass chip. She did choose the rubbish chip. It had a jagged edge. Oh, I thought maybe that would give it what it needed.

Bad for the aerodynamics. Jamie in Cambridge, good morning. Hi. Hi. Hi. Okay, Megan's dropping for you. No. So the line wasn't bad, but the depth wasn't there. Absolute rubbish.

Yeah. That was tough. Do you want to get back up there, Vaughn? Apologies. Sorry. Excuse me. Generally, I think mine have been closer than Vaughn's. Also, you have not been up here.

It's because I wasn't up for you. Josh is wiggling the to the left, too. Ashley in Auckland, good morning. Hi. Ashley. Hi, Ashley. Okay, good morning. Hi. Hi Ashley. Okay, standing by, we're going to see if we can win you this thousand dollars. No. That's actually the furthest away. That actually went way around the back side of the... Somehow it's actually ended up behind the scissor lift. Hey, let's just be supportive that the person who's scared of heights is up here. I'm shaking. Jamie in Cambridge, good morning. Hi.

Yeah, I don't know how this is going to go, Jamie. You can do it, Megan. Megan's packing is so handy now. She just threw that way away. No, I thought giving it some force would do something. Renee in Tauranga, good morning. Morning, guys. Good luck, Megan. Good morning.

Okay, Megan, here we go. Also, do we think maybe the wind's picked up a little bit? Straight down it came. One finger. Into the drip it went. One finger drop. I can't jump up and down because I'm off a scissor lift. I don't even know who was on the phone. Renee. Renee, I just won you $1,000, girlfriend. We love you. We love you, Megan. The kids are sitting here.

They love you too. If no one else gets a chip. Oh, if no one else. But there's some people here who have come on down who have still got to have their drop. Oh, okay. So we're going to give the locals here a chance to get up in the lift.

I've never been so proud of myself. We're going to give them... Set a low bar. Against the odds. I had doubters. We've got about five or six people left. So at the moment, that money is yours, Renee.

But there are five chips left to drop. Oh, okay. Well, we've been dropping chips from a scissor lift all morning, trying to get into a small, tiny bowl of dip, and, well, drama just moments ago. Oh, look at that swag. Yeah. I mean, you've been up there all morning, Vaughn.

I just went up once and did a couple of drops and ain't got a thing. Renee in Tauranga, you're still there, Renee? Yes, we are. Your chip is the only one in the bowl of dip at this stage, and we have one person left to dip, or to try and get their chip in the dip. Now, these are the last of our local crushed Cantabrians that have come down. Yeah, this is Samantha

and Samantha, there is nothing more I would like than you to wipe that smug look off Megan's face. I'm ready. I'm ready. My precious Sam. Alright. Okay, she's dropping. And she's smug. Smug look remains on face. She's missed by a foot,

which means Renee and Totunga, congratulations. You have won our cash chip and a dip $1,000. Oh, yay. Thank you so much, Megan. We love you. Oh, you are welcome. And me. I sung the intro.

I sung the intro. Yeah, well done, mate. Well, you turned up to work. What do you want? Pat on the back. Thank you so much to the Palms as well who have let us come down and make a mess. And we've absolutely left a

mess of chips on the ground. The seagull's already on it. Yeah, thank you to Coffee Culture as well who've let us plug in and broadcast from their store this morning here in Christchurch. To Hirepool as well for the scissor lift. And not only have you won $1000 Renee, but also thanks to Bluebird who won our food fight,

we've got a year's supply of salt and vinegar Bluebird chips for you as well. Oh, my God. The kids are actually happier about that. Yeah, I bet. I bet. Yeah, don't tell them about the money. Yeah, just say you've won the chips. Mum just won some chips.

I don't know. The money's just a rumour. All right. Well, this is always awkward when we have to do this in an outside live situation with people watching, but right now it's... Let alone up a sizzle if we're Samantha. It is time for...

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's Fact of the day is about Beyonce. Oh, okay. Have you guys watched her Netflix special? The Coachella special. Yeah. I have not. Is it homecoming?

Yeah. You watched it, Samantha? Yeah, it's great. Okay, well, you're the only person here who has, so I'm going to ask. Was it pretty good? Yeah, I loved it. Yeah. So did she film it all in one go, or is it over the two Coachella performances?

Two weekends. So one, she's yellow and then the next weekend she's pink. Wow, okay. Vaughn's blown away by a costume change. Vaughn was mind-blowing. So, hold on, hold on. What? Pink?

And what? That only took her a week. Well, they wear pink and they wear yellow. What? Clothes. Please tell me that's not. The clothes come in pink. Please tell me that's not your fact of the day.

No. So it kind of relates to it, though. Beyonce, in 2015, Uber asked Beyonce to perform at an Uber gig. And she said, rather than you paying me $6 million, which is my Beyonce fee. I'll just turn down $6 million. Beyonce fee, I think she calls it. What could be better than the Beyonce fee of $6 million?

Of $6 million. Well, she asked for stocks in Uber. The stocks she received are today worth $300 million. For doing one show? Yes. That's a long play, though. I'm all for, like, give me $6 million now. Immediate payoff. Yeah, same. That's a long play, though. I'm all for, like, give me six mil now. Immediate payoff.

Yeah, same. She's the long Beyonce play. Stop making her name into things. It's very easy. And then, so, last year, when she did Coachella, two-week pink and yellow, yeah? Yeah. And when she did the Coachella,

when she did Coachella, she only took half of the headliner payment. And she said, but I want to film my special here at Coachella. Okay. And they were like, okay. And that saves her putting on her own show to film a special at. Right. So she took half of that.

Four million. Four million. And Netflix paid her $60 million for the rights to the Beyonce special to be on Netflix. So what today's fact of the day is, Beyonce is a bowler. Yeah. So, yeah, today's main fact of the day is in 2015, rather than accepting $6 million... She's a billionaire. I'm trying to make her name into billionaire.

Oh, wow. No. Are we not doing that anymore? I think BAE once was enough. Right, okay. Fine. That didn't really work either, but I gave it a shot and I'm happy I did. She turned down $6 million and accepted stocks in Uber,

and today those stocks are worth $300 million. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I've just realised that there's a gym just up there and they've been watching us waste chips all morning while they've been doing Swiss ball stuff full stuff. This is why. Fat. This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why.

This is why. Fat. Are you still fasting, Megan? Yeah. So more for Vaughn and I. Are you going to engage? Well, I've seen what this is. We did this earlier.

This is a twofer this week. Oh, this is why I'm fat. And last time you just left me hanging. I'll do some of this. You can do some of this. Because I've never tried it. Oh, no. why I'm fat. And last time you just left me hanging. I'll do some of this. You can do some of this. Because I've never tried it. Oh, no. No.

Can you save me some? Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So this is why I'm fat. For those that are new to the show or this segment, it's where we take a look at a new food that has been introduced.

Another reason we're all fatties. Should I have a scan on my fitness pal or are we not doing that? No, don't. Why are you doing this all the time? No, because it's called the slow fat. We want to know exactly how, you know, fat, how bad it's going to be. I was the one who told you about this part of this product. Remember?

And then I Googled it. I've been so into it. I've been jazzed about trying this. Wow. Oh, little wee barcode. One finger, 50 calories. Oh, little wee barcode. One finger 50 calories. Oh, that's high. One, two, three, four.

So 224 calories for one Kit Kat. Yeah, some protein's at 200 calories. And this is a tiny Kit Kat. This is the new Kit Kat pink made with ruby cocoa beans. Ruby chocolate. All the rage, isn't it, in Asia at the moment.

Is it? It is, yeah. You love the ruby chocolate and cocoa. Are we getting into it so that heaps of cocoa farmers are going to take traditional cocoa and rip those fields up and put in ruby and then in like six months we're going to be over it and all these people have changed their farming practices for nothing? I don't know, Vaughan, I'm unsure.

It seems like what we do as humans. It seems like what we do as humans. It seems like what we do as humans. It has a special flavour. Might I finger you? Thank you for that finger, Vaughan. That's what it's called when you give someone a Kit Kat finger. Could you explain? So it's milk, dark and white.

What? And ruby. What? It's delicious is what it is. That's pretty good. So the inside is their white chocolate. Almost tastes like it's got a berry. Yeah, it's a berry.

I don't know if I like that. It's a little bit bitter, isn't it? It's got like a little bit of like a tang to it. Like the last bit. The last bit you eat and you're enjoying the chocolate. That's what I love about it. And then you swallow and there's just this little tang. That's the ruby bean.

Yeah, I could eat too much of this. Oh, it's wasted on you. Yeah, because you know I could eat a block of anything. I'm trying to... This is so legit, it's still got German writing on it. Huh, okay.

It's just been parallel imported. It's very expensive. Are they normal Kit Kat price? Because ruby chocolate's very expensive to buy. It's much smaller. Right normal Kit Kat price? Because Ruby Chocolate's very expensive to buy It's much smaller Right, maybe that's why I know you can buy mini Kit Kats, Kit Kat snack ones But it's kind of in between that and a standard

They're normally a bit longer, aren't they? Oh me, oh my That is delicious You're not allowed to say that anymore Justin Marshall's trademark Wumpfer I think you're allowed to say Wumpfer, not Bumpfer Yeah, but no, you just said Bumpfer So he needs a dollar He gets a dollar every time you say Wumpfer Bump you were about to say Wumpfer not Bumpfer yeah but no you just said Bumpfer

so he needs a dollar he gets a dollar every time you say Wumpfer Bumpfer oh you owe me yes girl

I like it this is why this is why this is why this is why this is why this is why ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan

the podcast news from the Naki and this is for you Flet, as this is your home region. It is, yes. Well, your mum's from there, don't forget, Vaughan, so watch what you say. She is. She doesn't really fall into this category, but Taranaki, it turns out, love getting OTP. It's got the highest level of heavy drinking in New Zealand, almost twice the national average.

Huh, okay. It's ranked, but then they can handle their alcohol as well as it's ranked fifth when it comes to hospitalisations wholly attributed to alcohol in adults aged 15 years or older. Okay, so they drink a lot, but they can handle it more. Because they're fifth. Right. So if you're drinking the most you'd expect, it would follow suit. Yeah, still not a good sign though, is it?

Not really. No. Where does your home province stack up? Surely the Waikato. The Waikato will be up there. With their Dobros are right up there. The Waikato with their Dobros. The Waikato with their Waikato.

Oh, yeah, true. But then Dobros as well. Dobros, I'm just saying everyone's doing, yeah. Bit of everything. Bit of everything. Well, in Taranaki, heavy drinking, this study defined heavy drinking as four standard drinks for men, sorry, for women,

and five standard drinks for men on one single occasion. It's unfair that we have to drink more. We should be equal with women. That's true. Thank you. Gender equality. In the Naki, 21% of adults aged over 15 allegedly indulged in episodic heavy drinking at least weekly. So that means...

Right. Where did the other regions fare in the heavy... You don't know. This is just a NACI-specific story. It's very NACI-specific. Right. Okay. Not good, though, from a home region?

No. But, I mean, good though from a home region? No. But, I mean, great for the craft beer outlets. Well, I've got to stop giving my family booze for Christmas too. That's probably not helping either. I mean, you've got to be good at something, right? Very true. Very true. Like, I couldn't think of anything else.

Every time the Google search histories come out as well, the Naki. Oh, yeah. Porn making, gay porn, and something else bad. Yeah. Not good, is it? And our heavy drinking, but at least they don't need to Google where to get booze from. They know. They know, yeah.
