This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, thanks to Sparks. Shoot incredible videos in super slow-mo with the Samsung Galaxy S9. 10 out of 10. Thank you, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. This is great news about the extra virgin, what is it? Extra virgin olive oil. Three tablespoons or teaspoons a day?

Tablespoons, yep. This is good. God, if you just ate three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, everything would just slip right out your bum. That's why it'd be good for you. You put it on a salad. Yeah, because it's like the Mediterranean diet, isn't it? Lots of olive oils.

Saturated fats. But you're not supposed to cook with olive oil, are you? Well, I do. Are you not? Nah, isn't it like Lots of olive oil. Saturated fats. But you're not supposed to cook with olive oil, are you? I do. Are you not? Nah, isn't it like a low heat oil? I mean,

I'm more than willing to stand corrected. I use it for everything. But also, bone to pick with you, because ages ago, wasn't it you that was like, you've got to buy olive oil, it's going up in price.

There's going to be a huge price rise. What are you talking about? You definitely said that. I don't cause panic in the olive oil reserves. You cause a panic. I don't cause panic in olive oil reserves. I went when I was at the supermarket, this is ages ago, I was like, oh my god, I'm going to buy two big bottles. I've still got two big bottles

of olive oil. You panicked me. I didn't panic you. You did. I panicked somebody else. No, it was definitely you. I don't panic when it comes to reserves. It's By somebody else No it was definitely you I don't panic people When it comes to reserves That's your fault Because you should know Not to listen to anything

What caused this You did But what caused this What was my evidence What was my background Prices were going to Go through the roof We do have like

Research into what you say You're just like Blah blah blah Fletch would question me As to where I got this Information from No I think I just I was like

I love olive oil I don't want to pay Too much for it. I'll buy now. How have you still got two big bottles if you're a self-proclaimed olive oil lover? I've gone through half of one. What kind did you buy? Like the flash glass bottle stuff or the PAMs?

Yeah, the glass, or even the PAM stuff's in a glass bottle. It's all in a glass bottle, olive oil. Yeah. I'm not buying vegetable oil. I bought rice bran oil because it's got a high smoke point. Because you know, olive oil, if you're cooking on cast iron,

it starts smoking really early. Why does that matter? It's got a low smoke point. Because if you're looking to cook some salmon on a cast iron pan. Yeah. And it gets too hot to cook.

I'm going back to bed. What did you buy? What's it called? Rice bran. I'm actually just going to check. I think it's rice bran oil. Because most of the time he's full of it. No, I Googled it.

I Googled oil with the highest smoke point. I cook salmon in olive oil. I don't think it says to cook in olive oil. I think you are, Simon. I don't know. I don't know. Jewelry's out. That's what everyone does.

I don't know. Do you cook with olive That's what everyone does. I don't know. Do you cook with olive oil? Yes, I do. I don't think you're supposed to cook with olive oil. You're just chucking it out there. I don't want to start the show fighting about our profile. Should you cook with olive oil? Someone's going to say yes, but I'm pretty sure you're olive oil aficionados.

It just says there's other... It's for a cold toss. It's for a cold toss in a salad. It's for dressing. There are other oils that have a higher smoke point. Yeah. But you can if you want to. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm after a high smoke point. I don't care about the smoke point when I'm cooking my chicken in a pan. No. Well, you should. Well, mine doesn't smoke. You want a high smoke point. What are you doing? You're not hitting it hard enough. You guys don't cook with cast iron, though, well, you should. Well, mine doesn't smoke. You want a high smoke point. What are you doing?

You're not hitting it hard enough. You guys don't cook with cast iron though, do you? No. Why would you do that? It gets crazy hot. It's good because you can take it straight off

the thing and pop it straight in the oven. It's like last time I cooked some salmon and I don't know, you guys know I like salmon. You know a good thing about salmon?

What? Got to make it threes, doesn't it? No. Got a mega threes, doesn't it? Sir. No. Got a little, got a little mega threes in there, man.

You love your mega threes, don't you? Are you off to memory? Bit of a, you guys want a bit of salmon? No, we don't. I made a little bit of burl at the weekend

in the burling machine. All right. I made a little bit of salmon burling. Coming up on the show. It's got a good machine. All right. Burling. Coming up on the show. Good oil. All right, you lot. Listen up. It's story time.

All right. Three news headlines. This is how story time works. I've got three news headlines. Vaughan and Megan, you pick one headline only. Headline one, school gala goes south after kids get drunk. Headline two, tiny micro scratches, the giveaway. And headline three, experts warn against baiting wildlife for Instagram photos.

Oh, so people get eaten by the wildlife. Yeah. Got eaten by a bear the other day, trying to take a selfie. Really? Like, died, eaten. You know, it was in Storytime about, was it last week, about the woman in China who thought she had a dog, but it was a bear? Yes.

Yep. I saw that on the news at the weekend. Oh, my girls said it was the best thing in the world. They're like, what are the chances of our dog actually being a bear? I said, slim to none. Slim to none. I'm scooping the major news networks. I heard that story early last week.

I know. And the week they finally came to get their bear, that bear was a bear. Well, I was talking to my friend Morgan who came over for the royal wedding at the weekend. She's going to Banff in Canada. And she's like, well, I only want to stay in the hotel by the lake.

I don't want to go camping. All my friends want to go camping. And I was like, you can get beer repellent. And she's like, what? Yeah, beer repellent and a spray. We Googled it. Do we trust it though? Pepper spray.

Well, it says 90%. That guy who was hunted by a bear said it aggravated it. Oh, okay. Do you remember that bear hunted him? He was in the bush. Quite famously, he got smashed by it and he played dead and it took off. So he got up, and he was bleeding, and he ran, and then it came back for another go.

He said that when he first sprayed the bear with the bear spray, it aggravated it. Like every now and then you see a cop tase someone, and it doesn't do anything. I just don't think 90%, you know, odds with my life is enough for me. I'd probably get the wind direction wrong. Spray yourself. Spray my face. This guy's not going to be good eating these. So stupid.

Need to take one of those orange wind socks they have at the airport just in case I run into a bear. Bear, if you could just stand downwind, that'd be great. Could we just swap positions? I'm going to bear spray you. Oh, that'll only aggravate me. Hey, 90%. Let's give it a shot. That'd be great. Could we just swap positions? Because I'm going to bear spray you. Oh, that'll only aggravate me. Hey, 90%.

Let's get a shot. That'd be just my luck. Well, I mean, we've kind of covered that story, haven't we? Yeah. I like the micro scratches because that sounds detective. It does. That was like the micro... Oh, no, because those were big scratches on that staircase show.

Oh, yeah. It was micro owl hairs, wasn't it? Well, we go to Fort Myers now, where a store clerk was making sure customers never won at scratchies. Are you yawning or have you got your mouth open and vague? He can't believe it. I can't believe it. He cannot believe this story, Megan. It was definitely not a yawn.

So they unroll the whole thing. So, yeah, so apparently, and I don't know if you know how barcodes work, but you only need, and this is good for people who snap concert tickets, you only need a left to right line. Oh, yeah, they need to be very thin. They're always way longer than they need to be. And it's not the numbers, it's the lines.

And it's not the lines, it's the white between the lines. Yeah, and as long as you can see... It's the white between the lines. Yeah, and as long as you can see all the white between those lines across at some stage, you can read that barcode. So she was micro-scratching the scratchies before selling them, scanning them,

and the winning ticket she was keeping. That's quite... Now, these tickets, the Gold Rush Doubler, were 20-buck scratchies. So she wasn't wastingler, were $20 scratchies. So she wasn't wasting her time with the dollar scratchies. Yeah. And I don't know if that's something that you could do on tickets here.

Because they're different barcodes, aren't they? Yeah, they're not the traditional line barcodes. They're more of those QR ones where it's a whole lot of squares. Right. So you'd have to see all of that? Yeah. Okay, so that would be obvious someone had scratched your ticket. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, so that would be obvious someone had scratched your ticket. Yeah. Yeah. Well, anyway, agents turned up to the store where they found 83 tickets with what they call micro-scratches ready to be sold to unsuspecting customers. How did they get tipped off? Was she cashing in all the winnings? Well, no, I think somebody bought a ticket and saw the micro-scratch. Oh, they saw the micro-scratch. And they were like, hang on a second.

This is a bit, something's up. And so that led to her being arrested and she's out on bond, but did not want to discuss the allegations with media. Do we know how much in total? Well, no, we don't know what she got away with. But she'd pre-done

83. So, you know, if you were scratching 100 tickets. And that was just one day. Yeah, that was. Those were the ones that hadn't been purchased yet. Yeah, exactly. Those were the ones they'd caught her with. But you know how they come in a big roll and they're all doing together. What if the one you wanted was right in the middle?

You just tear it and then like. Just tear it and start again. You're working there, aren't you? You do what you want. Wow. Cheeky. You could tear it off and then just stick them back in the roll thing. Yeah. Yeah. But don't they have to activate? I don't know how it works anyway.

She's been caught. I would like to know that too. When do they activate them? Because if you stole a roll from behind the counter. They can just turn them off. They just turn them off. Yeah. They know.

So when a roll of instant Kiwis comes to a lotto shop, at some stage they're activated, and they've got a code for the whole roll, and that code tells you every serial number that was on there. And so if you steal instant Kiwis, they can just turn them off. And so you went to scan them, or it could even be like, beep, beep, these are stolen. That's not fair.

I went to all that trouble to steal them. Here. Then they just want you to pay for them. Right. F-M-X. Insane to think that 1.64 million New Zealanders watched the royal wedding on Saturday night. Given the time it was on, that must have been one of the highest rating things ever on New Zealand telly. So is this combining three and one?

Combining all coverage. Yeah. Wow, okay. Considering there's like children who would be in bed and then like all people who can watch it, and then including it's a Saturday night, so lots of people are out anyway. It's like a huge amount.

I wonder if Saturday night like bars and restaurants suffered because people were staying at home. Oh, I thought you meant would they have had them on? Well, yeah, they would have had them on, but yeah, I wonder if people just stayed home on Saturday. And watched it. Maybe house parties.

Yeah, a lot of house parties. So between 7pm and 1am, TVNZ got people, got 1.3 million and TV3's audience was 800,000. Wow. Mind you, she's much more of a TV1 situation. Yeah.

I haven't talked to Nan. I tried to ring her yesterday for her birthday, but she's far more social than I am at the age of 84. When was she out? She was out both times. I tried calling her twice. Oh, good on her. One during the day, one during the night.

Out both times. She's got a lot to chat to the ladies about. Oh, yeah, her and the g girls are going to have a catch up. Yeah. But I haven't talked to her if she stayed up for it. Right. I'm sure she would have. Yeah, I don't know.

There's a lot of nannies staying up. There's a lot of people. Yeah, nannies would have been up. It's half the country. Oh, it's just under half the country. You've got four and a half, so yeah. But still, phenomenal amount of people stayed up to watch it. And over the world, it was in its billions.

Wow. Was it two billion people they said would have been watching it live? And then, you know, however many people watched it at another occasion? That's insane. And however many people watched the highlights package and however many people just watched that one American preacher rant on for ages and ages. And then just turn it off. Yeah. It was really boring, too. Like, when you ages and ages. And then just turn it off. Yeah.

It was really boring, too, like when you think about it. Well, it was like Ross Boss said. When it started, you were just reminded you'd stayed up specifically to watch an hour-long church service. Yeah. Well, not all of us, but some of us got punished with that every Sunday when we were kids. And don't go for that reason. All right, coming up at 8 this morning. Mind you, I was having heaps of communion wines during.

Oh, yes. I was having a communion. I had a big slurp. I was having heaps of communion wines during. Oh, yes. I was having a communion. A big slip. Communion Chardonnay. I had a communion whiskey. I had a communion Pimms. I had a couple of communion biscuits. Much better snacks at my house during church than during church church.

The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello. Today's Top Six. The Top Six shows that the Obamas could be in on Netflix. Now, this has apparently been rumoured for a little while. But Barack and Michelle's production company, Higher Ground Productions, is going to start working with Netflix. In a multi-picture deal.

That's a big deal. Yeah. They'll be getting a lot of money for that. Scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries and feature productions. And they're not going to make a crappy movie, are they? They're going to use this for good, you'd imagine. You would imagine there'll be a social message behind it, but

they are looking to cultivate and curate talented, inspiring, creative voices. So they're going to be producers? Yeah. I mean, it sure wouldn't hurt the production to have one of them hosting it. Or no. On camera at some stage, both super charismatic. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it sure wouldn't hurt the production to have one of them hosting it. No. Or on camera at some stage.

Both super charismatic. Yeah. And, you know, amazing speakers. So the top six Netflix shows the Obamas could be in to start with, number six, 13 Reasons Why You Miss Us. Yeah. That's good. Many people miss them.

I think we all miss them. We all miss them greatly. Number five on the list of the top six Netflix shows the Obamas could be in is

Dear White People. Trump. Seriously? I haven't watched Dear White People but I've heard it's very good.

It's really good. Is it? Yeah. Very clearly done. I think I watched an episode and I was like. No you need to watch more. Oh do I? Yeah. Very clearly done. I think I watched an episode and I was like... No, you need to watch more. Oh, do I?

Yeah. Because I didn't like the first episode. Because each episode is crafted individually. Oh, right. Because I finished Safe, but then immediately someone was like, you've got to watch Evil Genius. So I jumped straight from Safe, the show that you loved, into Evil Genius, which has got me straight away. I've got you hooked. I've got you hooked straight away

so I'll put it on the list for next. Number four on the list of the top six man I'm really struggling with the top six Netflix shows are The Obamas

will be in a series of unfortunate events that lead us to now. Yeah. Number three on the list is a slight change of pace. Okay.

On the top six Netflix shows the Obamas will be in, Making Amalia. This is the story of one of their daughter's conceptions. Brilliant. Much better than Making a Murderer, where it draws its name from. Yeah. It's the creation of life rather than the ending of one. Yep.

Number two on the list, Black Mirror. The story of what goes on inside those heavily tinted secret service cars. Why would it go on? Yeah, I know. It's your look and you can't see anything. So heavily tinted. And the number one show on Netflix the Obamas could be involved in with the new production company

is Orange is the New Black. The story of the 44th to the 45th residents. Not female prison show. I like what you did there. You see what's happened there? The story of the 44th to the 45th residents. Not... Yep. I like what you did there. Yes, what did you see? What happened there?

I was waiting for House of Cards. Yes, see what happened there. I see what you did. Well, the thing is, it couldn't be any crazier than House of Cards actually was. Yeah. That's how... That's why actually last season felt a little underwhelming after the whole Trump thing, didn't it?

Yeah, it did, didn't it? Yeah. It did, didn't it? And then Kevin Spacey was like, I got this. I'll write myself out of the show with some off-screen antics. Really throw a spanner in the script of season six. Yeah. That is today's top six.

FEMC. The Warriors. It's hard to say that without people. The Warriors. The Warriors. For longer than credit where credit's due, their social media is pretty bloody good. Right.

All the players are kind of into making their own videos and then the team itself is all over the social media. And one of the videos recently is the burning of Warriors centre Anthony Gelling's unlucky undies. He said every loss they've had this season, he's been wearing this particular pair of undies. What kind of undies are they? Like just... Just undies, undies. He said every loss they've had this season, he's been wearing this particular pair of undies. What kind of undies are they? Like just...

Just undies, undies. What kind of undies do you wear when you're playing rugby or league? I don't know. Because sometimes I see them sticking... I want a special... I saw someone get tackled the other day, and you could see their undies sticking out of their shorts like by an inch or two.

Just like, that's too long. You need to be wearing like briefs or something. Oh, almost. Yeah. I'd want a padded boxer. Around like the gooch. Well, they're just hitting. They run in.

There's no way the genitals are going to escape completely unharmed. I don't think some underwear is going to change that, is it? No, but just a little bit of light padding maybe. Right. Like a helmet for the cricket players. Is it only sports people that are superstitious like this? Because you hear cricket players are the same.

They've got their favourite rituals before games. And if they don't do that, they don't score runs that day. He's got his unlucky undies. It just seems a bit of rubbish, isn't it? Well, it's obviously something that plays on your mind. They lost because they didn't score enough tries. That's pretty much it. That's as simple as it is.

It doesn't matter about underwear, does it? You might have talked yourself out of it. Yeah, exactly. But then that is part of it. You're part of the team, you know. If you're having an off day, it can affect the tries. And then if you're not wearing the right off day, it can affect the tries. And then if you're not wearing the right undies, it's in your hair.

I think this particular, this is mostly just for a bit of an LOL online. Right, okay. A bit of a SoshMed vid. But the videos, people are watching it, and he's saying from here on out, it's all just good luck. I think they're watching it too, because Yeah, there's warriors

not wearing shirts. I don't know if you've noticed this. There's quite a common theme amongst sports people. Quite good rigs. Quite good mid-sections. This guy's got abs. I don't know why he's got his shirt off because it's not like they burned his shirt,

but he's just made a little homemade cross. He's got his top. I mean, I'm not complaining. Not too many people are complaining. No, yeah. But I'd just like to know if your average every day, New Zealanders got lucky charms. Not your professional sports people.

Maybe it's, you know, Darfield C-team. But you've got lucky. But maybe not even sport. Maybe like people who do business deals have a lucky charm. Or like a lucky pen to sign the deal. Yeah. And then someone tries to thieve your lucky pen. Before you go into a presentation or something, you've got like something you do.

Yeah, a little pregame ritual. So yeah, it might not even be sports. Right. If anyone listening's got sort of a lucky charm. Okay. Or if anyone's ever had an unlucky one that they've had to get rid of. Because they've kind of culminated, they did some research and, you know, the correlation between that being used and a whole lot of bad luck.

This is why I buy the same pair of undies, but just in different colours. Right, so they can continue to be just... But maybe a colour is more lucky than another. No, it's just continuity. They all feel the same. They all look the same. It's great. It can't go wrong with life. But how do you have, like, special knickers when you go out on a date? They're all special the same. They all look the same. It's great. It can't go wrong with life. But how do you have special knickers when you go out on a date?

They're all special. And how do you know that there's not a pair of undies out there that fits better? Well, I don't. See, you and I are completely different in the fact that I'll be like, oh, yum, that sounds good. That sounds different on the menu. Whereas you're like, no, if I get that, I might not like it and I'll feel sad about missing out on a butter chicken. I've basically

got lots of butter chicken undies. Perfectly mediocre. Don't describe them as butter chicken undies. Makes it sound like you've shit yourself in your undies because of a bad butter chicken. Alright, so do you have a lucky charm? 0800 Dials at M 9696

Talking about lucky charms, maybe you've got some superstition. Some text messages in on this because they reckon the Warriors are going to be on track now for the rest of the season because it was the unlucky undies that were doing it. They've been burnt. When I play club cricket, when I'm padding

up to bat, I follow this ritual. Left sock, right sock, right shoe, left shoe, thigh guard, box, left pad, right pad. Then I sit down and put my right glove in my left leg and my left glove on my right leg and I stay sitting in the same seat until it's my turn to pat

and then when heading out to bat I put my helmet on after I cross the boundary rope. Wow. All that, get out there, get out for a duck, come straight back in. Should have just chucked them on any old way. Yeah, probably should have just chucked them on any old way. Yeah, probably should have just put the gloves on on the walk out. That would have worked.

Some other text messages in. My auntie is an unlucky charm. Whenever we watch any game of sport, they'll be losing, but if she goes to make drinks or leaves, that's when the team we support will score a try. So if it's all looking bad, we're like, Auntie, it's drinks break. Go get us some drinks.

And she'll pop out and they turn around. Auntie, get out. Make us some drinks. What happens if she just didn't come? Just a point to get Auntie to get drinks, really, isn't it? Charlene, have you got a lucky charm? Well, it's my husband who actually has a lucky charm. Okay.

So he has, it's like a mini Buddha, a little fat Buddha, probably about five centimetres high. Okay. Yeah. And let's Buddha see outside. That's pretty cute. A bit of condensation so Buddha's got a good view. Wow. And so you must have won lotto like so many times.

They haven't won lotto, but their house also hasn't burnt down. So Buddha's doing his job. It's supposed to be so we'll get more money, but I haven't seen any yet. Yeah, all right. Just keep rubbing that belly. Thanks, Charlie. Keep on rubbing. Somebody said I've got lucky netball undies. They're the only ones I've ever owned that are the same colour as the uniform for the team I play with.

So obviously that matches. Well, yeah, because you don't want your dress to flake up and then they see you. Only ever wear them for netball. But we're not in our early 20s anymore, are we? Getting a little tweet. Getting a little tweet. Mid-20s, the metabolism slows, doesn't it? It does.

You've got to really up your netball games to still fit your undies. Somebody said, I've got good luck lifting

shorts. This is like weightlifting shorts. Oh, yeah? Because once, when I was lifting, I did

a little poopy in my pants. And they kept it all in. No spills. How lucky is that? I pooped myself,

but no one knew. And so I put the weights down and then Like, I pooped myself, but no one knew. And so I put the weights down, and then I snuck off to the toilet and cleaned myself up. Good wash. They still work a charm. Wow. It's a lot of downward pressure, though, isn't it? I let out a fart doing a squat, and that was horrifying enough.

Well, they pooped, but their pants kept it all in. So you would feel like you'd owe those pants a little something. Oh, yeah, you would. You'd go back to that brand. Sure. Brand loyalty if you can crap yourself weightlifting and no one knows. I don't know if they kept the smell in, but... Lots of crackdowns around the world on Airbnb at the moment.

Is it Amsterdam last week that were like... Yeah, I was reading an article about Berlin. You've got these people that go around in Germany and look for illegal Airbnbs and people renting out apartments. And Bangkok, because we're going to Thailand at the end of the year with the fam, because Shadow's dad lives there. And yeah, we were going to book an Airbnb, and then we got sent this article saying Airbnbs are illegal in Bangkok now.

I don't know how that works for existing bookings or what. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. You're probably going to have to sleep on the street there. Oh. The Smith family. No, that's fine. I mean, you were looking for a flat at the end of last year, Megan.

It is insanely hard and it is so expensive. Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch. Like, it's crazy at the moment. Yeah, like 60 people will turn up for one house. And a lot of it is because people are like, well, I could let out this house and make this much money or I could make way more on Airbnb because people are creaming it on Airbnb.

So a lot of people, yeah, not renting at all to a permanent resident because they can. I mean, that's understandable in the city. But I wouldn't have thought it was out in the suburbs. Have they worked out how to tax Airbnb yet? Because that was another thing as well. Everyone was just making money, making cash monies.

So you do not have to pay tax on that? No, not at the moment. Nah, because it was it's like buying something off Trade Me, you know, you don't pay tax on when you're sitting here Well, of course people want to do that Well, Queenstown, they've had problems Did they pass a bylaw there?

Where you're only allowed to let it out a certain amount of nights Yeah, a year A room So that kind of So in Wellington, this is in the news today That a Wellington landlord found out that his tenant was subleasing Their apartment through Airbnb. So they've got this flat, an apartment.

Yeah, yeah. They signed the lease. They signed the lease over somebody long term. And this person, over a six month period, had 54 Airbnb rentals for this apartment. I don't know how the landlord got tipped off to it. Maybe somebody said, hey, isn't this your apartment? Or he was like, I'll just look on Airbnb and see what it's going for. Yeah, maybe I'll kick my tenant out of there and get on those Airbnb bars.

And found out it had been leased out 54 times. So this went to the Tenancy Tribunal because it's a breach of the tenancy agreement that they had. It said in there no subleasing. And the landlord has actually been awarded the profits that that person made, which was something to the tune of $12,500.

$12,500? Yeah. Over a six month period. Over 54. No tax. Yep. So I've always thought about that, but I don't like people

because I've got a spare room and I'm like in the city. I was like, I could, like you could get, but then you've got to meet people and get them a PA but you were a social person

who quite liked meeting people from around the world you could make a good little site but you don't I don't want to deal with people

you don't and then make a mess and then break things as everyone is you're living there and it's your own house as well that'd be

exactly so they because Caitlin producer Caitlin you were living in a flat a couple of years ago yeah and you woke up

one morning and there was just there was a family in there, the B&B. Yeah, there was a two-year-old running up and down the hall. Like, ah! I was like, what is going on? Because one of the flatmates was going overseas for like three weeks or something. And fair enough, she worked as a waitress and couldn't afford to do both.

But I was just like, weird that there's like another thing. You can't flat with people and then just say, oh, there's going to be like maybe 20 different random people here in the next three weeks. And one of them could be a murderer. There's a high chance.

And it would be better if it was like one of your friends was like staying there or something like that. But there was like literally three or four different lots of people. Strangers. Yeah. I just thought three or four different lots of people. Strangers. Yeah.

Yeah. I just thought that was blanket illegal and everyone knew you couldn't sublet unless you got permission from the landlord. It's just standard, isn't it?

When you get those forms. Agreements. Agreements. It's standard on sort of tenancy agreements. Even ones you can just download if you do it. Not even through an agency.

Even before Airbnb. Yeah. This was illegal. Yeah, right. So if you're doing that, not even through an agency. Even before Airbnb, this was illegal. So if you're doing that and you get found out, the precedent has been set that the money goes to your landlord. Wow. That's crazy. It's just a few words.

The reason I've gone quiet is I'm trying to think of a way around it. Old legal loophole smithy over here. Yeah, but that's just how my, it's bad. I think it's a bad sign that deep down, like there's a criminal inside me really wanting to get out. Because I always, or a lawyer, or a defence lawyer. As tenting on the yard, is that, could that skirt the lawn? Oh, yeah. That's sub-leasing the lawn, isn't it?

But then, if you've got a lawn and you provide the caravan, you're providing the dwelling. You're not going to get as much money. Maybe you could go and sleep out in the caravan, but just have some paperwork that indicated they slept in the caravan. Right. But you're sleeping in the caravan. Could you put up some photos that kind of look like your apartment so the landlord doesn't know?

Oh, you're saying if the landlord... I would imagine there'd be lots of landlords going on Airbnb now and searching in the area that they own apartments and stuff. They're going to get some money. Yeah. And there'd be some people that are shooting themselves because they've been doing this on the side. For like a year. Yeah.

Yeah. Exactly. FVM, the podcast. I don't know what it is, but I always have really whack dreams. Is it cheese? A lot of cheese. No, I didn't have cheese last night. I do.

Sometimes I'll go a bit crazy on the cheese because I just grate, grate, grate, grate. And then I'm like, well, that's too much. But yum, I love cheese. It's my crack. I'm a real, like something that happens to me during the day always ends up in my dreams, but gets like thrown way out of proportion. Plays on your mind. Yeah. And sometimes like say a random person will ends up in my dreams, but gets thrown way out of proportion. Plays on your mind. Yeah, and sometimes, say, a random person will end up in my dream

that I haven't thought about for ages, but I've been thinking about them just the day before. Yeah. Yeah, like that. So the only thing I can put this down to is I was watching 13 Reasons Why. Okay. And obviously there's lots of rumors that get chucked around in there. Everyone's talking about everyone.

That's all that I can put this down to. So my dream involved all of us here. We, I don't know what we were doing but we went on a helicopter to a paddock.

That's sweet. Someone's farm it seems like. Now, you guys were not too talkative to me on this day.

Classic. I didn't know what was happening. I was already just enjoying the helicopter ride. In my defence, I'm not a snob. I just really like helicopters. And you guys were whispering and I was like, I didn't know what was happening. And so I kept

on asking like, what's wrong? Nothing. Until Caitlin said that there was a video of me on the internet. Caitlin? Really? Okay. She was like, I just need to pull you aside because lots of people are talking about you online.

And I didn't know what had happened and she said, this is a little bit awkward, but there's a rumour going around that you like to do poos in public places. I was wondering where this was going. Like public toilets?

No. Oh, like out in the open? Like an animal? No, but that's in the news at the moment, eh? Whereabouts was that happening? There was a public crapper. Really?

I think it was in America. He got caught. Somebody set up a CCTV and he just goes over and he's like... Maybe that's what it was because someone said there's CCTV footage of you

online doing poos in public. Oh, my. And so I went online and I was like, no, that's not me. I was never there. because someone said there's CCTV footage of you online doing poos in public. And so I went online and I was like, no, that's not me. I was never there. But the rumour had already gone around and so everyone in New Zealand had given me the nickname of Megan the Pooper. Oh, not even very imaginative.

I wasn't even very clever. I would have called you Megan Pooper-dobulous because you look like this. Oh, yeah, that's good. Pooper-dobulous. But you guys believed last eyes. Oh, yeah, that's good. Poo-pa-dob-a-lus. But you guys believed it too. So suddenly I... Oh, that's why we were whispering.

Yeah. Yeah, about Megan doing poo-sing. Don't let her back on the helicopter. For the trip back, she'll poop in it. It was like, I was so distraught when I woke up because I was like, guys, I literally don't... I don't just poo anywhere.

Oh, was it one of those dreams when you woke up, you were still quite stressed? Yeah. Oh, no. It takes you a second to realise that you don't actually poo anywhere. Oh, was it one of those dreams when you woke up, you were still quite stressed? Oh, no. It takes you a second to realise that you don't actually poo in public. It's always the stressful dreams. At the end of them, I go to sleep in the dream. Oh, yeah.

And then that's when I wake up in real life and I'm like, well, it's Gary. Oh, I've never heard that. Haven't you? No. That's kind of how I get out of the stressful dreams is I go to sleep and then I wake up and I'm like, well, obviously this has happened. Right. Yeah.

I've just Googled. What does it mean? Gossip. Dreambible.com Oh, I thought you, yeah, okay. I'll Google gossip. I'll Google poos. Don't know if that'll come up. What is it, Dreambible? To dream of hearing gossip in a dream

may reflect waking life concerns that somebody is negatively talking about you behind your back, caring too much about what other people think, trust issues, anxiety about yourself, succumbing to embarrassment you have witnessed in others, feelings about people enjoying or benefiting from talking about you in a negative way. Now, on Dream Bubble, were you eating the feces?

No. Okay. No. I wasn't even doing the feces. Did you have feces in your hands? No. Good for you. Were you covering somebody's home or property in feces?

Okay, great. We're whittling this down. Are these all options? Yep, these are all options. Wow. Was it a positive or negative? Pooh dream. Pooh dream.

Negative, I'd say. Negatively, feces or poo in a dream may reflect problems that have been made worse. Reckless or irresponsible behaviour that has aggravated a problem that will require attention to clean up. Right. So we can take from this that you've got to

stop caring what people think about you and you've got to clean a bit more. Excuse me, if you've ever thought you were in public. What a grim dream. Thanks for sharing that. Thank you for sharing. I was distraught this morning. I just want everyone to know.

If you've woken up with a human turd on your lawn and we saw them this morning, we may have found your turd. We may know who's responsible. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Now that Megan Markle is the Duchess of Sussex. Yes.

I was going to say Princess of Sussex. A lot of people feel sorry for her because kind of the old Megan Markle's gone. So they've put up a bio on the royal website and they're buried down the bottom about her acting career. She likes to be called Megan now. Megan. So someone's compiled a list of things that she can no longer do now that she's the Duchess of Sussex. Because there's certain etiquette and there's certain

rules. You've got to be royal don't you? Actually we should check if she's even got that Instagram account anymore. No it's gone. It's long gone. It's all gone. A long time ago. Do they even have private Instagrams? Don't think so., it's gone. It's all gone. It's all gone. A long time ago. Yeah. Do they even have private Instagrams? Don't think so.

Oh, that's sad. How hard would it be just all of a sudden going cold turkey no Instagram, not even being able to look? Yeah.

Could you do that? Mindlessly scroll through. Yeah, like what do you do? What does she do when she's killing time between ad breaks? I don't know. Does she just sit there and talk to him?

You say that, and then when you go without for a while, it's quite freeing, but then you get it back and you're straight back into it. Yeah, I know. Well, she can no longer hang out with her dogs, so she had a couple of rescue dogs

that she had to give up. But the royals have dogs. So the problem with these are they were in the US and they're too old now to relocate. And it's quite hard to get your dog to relocate to the UK. They have really strict rules. So she's left them behind.

Okay. That's really sad. She can no longer go out in public alone. She has to always be surrounded by security at all times which includes if she goes to do any exercise like jogging she wants to go for a walk or anything security you've got to be with her she's on sort of palace grounds because some of them are quite large estate you can go for a run around there maybe you probably would probably be all right um she can't take selfies anymore taking selfies with any of her fans, she's not allowed to do.

They're not allowed to do it as girls. Because that's like a royal etiquette thing, isn't it? Yeah, but then when Harry and, no, when Wills and Kate and stuff came, people took selfies, didn't they? Harry took selfies. I don't know if Wills and Kate were like all up for selfies, but Harry took some selfies. Yeah.

But then it's weird that these are still in place because it makes them seem... Untouchable? Yeah, and wouldn't you want to be relatable? Yeah, well, she's already kind of, like, broken a few traditions. But then if they're going up to a wall of people, like, you know, they put the security fences up, people just turn their phones around,

so it's not like they can escape the selfie. No. Wearing short hemlines. So, I mean, if you search pictures of Meghan Markle on red carpets, she's worn short dresses. You can't wear anything too high above the knee anymore. So, I mean, as we see from Kate Middleton, if it's shorter, it's just over the knee and that's it.

And that's scandalous as it is, isn't it? Just over the knee. Naughty. I that's scandalous as it is, isn't it? Just over the knee. Naughty. I didn't know this, but she can't vote. She's been granted. No, they can't. They've got to be completely neutral politically. Right.

And also because she's been granted leave to remain in Britain but won't be given citizenship for several years as she has to go through the normal visa process like everyone else. But even when it's granted that doesn't mean she'll be able to vote. Right, okay. She's not allowed to wear dark nail polish. They wear just like nudie

coloured nail polish. She can't have her own social media accounts so that does include Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, anything that she used to post regular pictures on. And she can't sign autographs. Huh, really? Yeah.

So Prince Charles was once asked for an autograph and he said, sorry, they don't allow me to do that. They are allowed to sign visitors books for official engagements as well as like official documents, but they're not allowed to sign autographs. Is that weird? Like people are fans of you. I don't know. I suppose maybe she's not in line for the throne or anything.

Charles's signature might be a big deal one day when he becomes king but then I don't know what Meghan Markle's signature is going to do. And the last one that Meghan Markle's not allowed to do anymore is go to bed before the Queen. What?

That's not a thing. When the royal family members are in the same house or castle, it's up to the Queen to determine when the night is on. What if the Queen's up for a bender and you've retired? It's like, can we please go to bed? I said we're drinking gin, bitch. And we're not going to bed till we're done. I'm tired, please.

No. Look on your money. It's my face. No, get me another drink. Flesh, flesh, full and me. Swag, swag, swagymers, you can register at ZM Online. We want you to share with us your horrible first dates, your date experiences from apps, dating apps,

whether it's Tinder, Bumble, Grindr, Happn, Scissor, Mail, Mail, Email. That's one of the apps I've got on my phone. Rykel, Google Maps. I haven't found a way to hook up over Google Maps, but we're humans. Give us a date. Give us a date. We'll get it done. Sam, good morning.

Hello. All right, so you matched with somebody online? I did, on Tinder. Okay, and what happened next? Well, it was actually my first ever go using Tinder as well, and we'd been talking a little bit. I mean, the dead animal in this photo should have been a good precursor of how it was going to go, but it continued on.

Turned up and I got picked up by him. We got a bright yellow truck. It was a bit awful, but anyway, get along. It's a bit awkward, but a couple of jokes about bad breath and kissing and I was like, hmm, hmm, hmm. Wait, was he saying you had bad breath or was he saying he had bad breath? No, no, he was saying he wasn't going to get anything with garlic, you know. Oh, right, because he didn't want bad breath.

Okay. Yeah, he was just kind of assuming he was going to get a kiss out of it. I'm like... Bit of a assumption there, champ. Okay. But that's not... There was a couple of other things before that had put me a little bit on edge, but what was the crux of it?

We were about, I don't know, like 20 minutes into sitting down and just got a drink ordered and I was a little bit nervous and he could see that, so we just started talking and I was like, okay, yep, whatever, and then he was like, oh, I was like, so what do you study? And he told me what he studied and I was like, oh, yeah, it's like, you know, that student

life and he was like, yeah, no, I don't have an issue with my loan anymore. I was like, oh, oh, okay, like, did you win a lot or something? And he was like, yeah, no, I don't have an issue with my loan anymore. I was like, oh, oh, okay. Like, did you win a lot or something? And he was like, nah. When I was a teenager, I got diagnosed with ADHD, but I didn't think I had it. So I never took my medication. So I had six years worth of medication and then I just sold it all.

Oh my God. Enough to pay off his student loan. Yep. Enough to pay off his student loan. Yep. Enough to pay off his student loan. Wow. So technically drug dealing? Yeah. On the first date, he tells me that 20 minutes in, I'm like, cool.

I've come in his car with him. Oh, wow. Who did you sell it to? I've got so many questions. Well, I think it was because it's ADHD. I'd assume it was Ritalin, so he would have sold it to students because it's like a study drug. Right, yeah, they take it before they want to study.

I know. I couldn't believe it. I watched that Netflix documentary. Oh, yeah, what is that called? Take Your Pills. Take Your Pills, yeah. Oh, that was amazing. How about Ritalin and Adderall?

Yeah, I just couldn't believe it that he was telling me that he was just like, yeah, the doctor, you know, I didn't believe what he said. I was like, ugh. But he still kept getting the prescription for six years. Yep, and he kept them under, he said he kept them under his bed in a box and it took him a weekend to take all the barcodes off. I was like, whoa. Oh, yeah, because they would have had his name on the prescription.

Oh, wow. So, did he say how much his student loan was? I think he made it, like it was around, like, I think he did, like, a polytech thing, so it would have been, like, it would have been between, like, eight and ten grand, I'd say, or something. Like, it was a lot

of money. Still, like, to sell that much drugs, like, I know it's not, like, some 80 grand med degree, but it was, like, sell that much drugs, like I know it's not like some 80 grand med degree, but it's like what? The average student loan in New Zealand, this is in 2007, so it definitely would have gone up, was $28,000. Yeah, I think

I can't remember what he did. I was kind of like didn't really listen from then on. I was just like... And that was your first ever like dating app date. Did that put you off after that? Sure did. And that was your first ever, like, dating app date. First ever. Did that put you off after that? Sure did.

Yeah. Hey, Sam, thanks for sharing. We're going to hook you up with a site men's prize pack. Well done. No, thank you very much. And if you want to share as well, you can go to ZM online. Something happened. Oh, I feel weird talking about it now.

What, you just all of a sudden don't want to talk about it? What? Well, you've been telling, you've been teasing us. I know, but now that I'm bringing it up, I feel like everyone's going to be like, oh, okay, like you want to tell everyone that this happened. Oh. Oh, okay.

Rate yourself. Yeah, but also herein lies the problem. Yeah, rate yourself. So in France, so something happened to me yesterday that's now illegal in France. So in France, stop looking happened to me yesterday that's now illegal in France. So in France, stop looking me with that smirk

on your face. Right, Sal. In France, it says men, but I guess it would be if a woman did it. It's just more likely that a man.

Okay. You don't hear many stories of women doing it. But it says men will be fined up to £656 for wolf whistling at

women in France. Oh, like cat calling in public? Yeah. So it can start at £80 and go up to £656. I don't know why that much. Does it just depend on the whistle, the tone, the length of whistle? Yeah, and I guess how whether they continue to say more afterwards. Yeah, and I guess how, like, whether they continue to say more afterwards.

Yeah, chuck some words in. So what, this happened to you yesterday? Yeah. Where were you? At the supermarket. Oh, I was in the car park of the supermarket. I was going to say, who cackled you at the supermarket?

The deli guy? I just had 200 grams of shaved ham, please. Yeah, okay, sweet as. Sweet tits. Hey, whoa, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy. Just the ham. Thank ham, please. Yeah, okay. Sweet as. Sweet tits. Hey, whoa, buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy. Just the ham. Thank you, though. I appreciate the compliment. So, but you know, like,

um, like, equal rights and everything and, like, feminists and all that kind of stuff. So, this group of guys in a van, they were parked there. They weren't moving. Okay. And I was crossing to get to my car. Like, wolf whistled. And then made, like, the you're calling a cat, like, noise.

I do that to birds more than cats. Yeah, I don't call my cat like that. I'd be like, yeah, no, yeah. I just thought the thing I say to get the cat to come for dinner is wildly inappropriate to say to somebody. Yeah. And then, like, they started yelling something. And at that point, I was, like, so embarrassed.

And, like, I didn't know what to do. I felt a bit like it's not actually that enjoyable. Were they, like, high school boys in a van? No, no. Like, I thought that we were past that. Are we not past that? They were in high-vis. So I don't know if they were workers.

And construction sites all kind of cracked down on this. It's a huge no-no. In central Auckland, if it happened, there'd be big trouble. There was a case a couple of years ago even where the construction company cracked down because of a lady. And fair enough, it made her feel unsafe. Somebody listening now is like, what's wrong with you? You don't know how that would make Megan feel or anybody walking by.

Imagine someone doing it to your wife or your sister or your daughter or your mum when they're alone. It certainly might not make them feel great and safe in public. And so I was thinking, well, why does it make me feel... It made my heart race and I felt unsafe and I felt it was not pleasant at all. Because did they not stop? No, they kept going until I got to my car. But also, like, why should you even do it once? And then people say, oh, you should take the compliment.

But if you were in a workplace, say, like if we were around here and you walked past someone and they did that in the workplace, everyone, like if we were around here and you walked past someone and they did that in the workplace, everyone would be like, dude, no, that's not okay. But it's okay in public from a stranger that I don't know. Yeah. It was like, yeah, I think we're

past that. Yeah, well, if it makes you feel unsafe in public, then... Do women need to explain why that's not okay? I always just think, if you're going to do something to anybody, imagine A, it was being done to you or if that doesn't apply in this case, if it was from

male directed at female. Imagine someone was doing it to your sister. I always think of my sister or my mum or I've got daughters now and that just completely changes the way you view the world. So would you be happy for someone to do it to them? I always wonder, like, what are guys trying to achieve? Like, are you trying to embarrass me?

I don't know, because if you walked over and walked out and then just started taking your clothes off and were like, all right, lads, let's get this done then. Where are we doing this? In the back of the van? Get your hivers off, pussy. Are we doing this? Take your pants off. Let's see your dick.

Like, what's the end result? What do they want? I don't know. What's the idea? Yeah, is it too embarrassed? I'm not sure. I mean, what are women supposed to do now? Like, because I didn't feel right ignoring it.

But I didn't want to engage because I didn't feel like I would come away. I felt like I would get attacked if I engaged and said, stop, I don't like it. It's a, I would have probably got the, can you remember the place where they were working? Was it in another van? No, this is just a white van. What's that, like a hired van? I don't know.

I've watched too many detective shows. I'd be like, all right, I'm going to find out who hired that. You don't even want to look at them. You're like, you pretend you can't hear them. No, I know, it makes you feel unsafe. You're outnumbered as it is. And you're like, don't engage, don't look at them, pretend you can't hear them. No, no, it makes you feel unsafe. You're outnumbered as it is. And you're like, don't engage, don't look at them, pretend you can't hear them.

Was it one guy and a group of guys? Or were they all kind of getting involved? No, they were all getting involved. Right, okay. Pack mentality. But yeah, I just wanted to say, it doesn't happen often to me, and I didn't take it as a compliment. I felt

very, um, stop smiling. No, it's just, no I'm not. I think in this day and age we're past that. I just didn't think people did that. No, neither did I. Apparently it's still a thing. Somebody just messaged in saying so this happened to me

I got whistled at and I looked but wasn't smiling and I got called a bitch for not smiling back. Oh that's Yeah like why they're always like take the compliment

and it's like why can you not take the rejection? Yeah I don't just know it's not even yeah it's a directed compliment if it makes someone feel unsafe then it's certainly

not a compliment. Okay. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights. The Kiwi Treat Edition. Oh, you thought it was over. You thought the hot chip had won, and that was it. And we were just going to leave it at that? You were wrong.

Well, so stoked were they that the very thing that they have in their name, the hot chip won the Kiwi Food Fight. Mr. Chips. Give us a Mr. Chips, Chips, Mr. Don't know if they're still using that, but that was in the 90s. Was it? Yeah. Mr. Chips, Chips, Mr.

So they supply all the chips. Where you get your chips. They're chips. They're like, we've got people who do chips. Let's confirm some locations for some chips. We're going to sort you out with some chips, which is great. Great. Thanks, Mr. Chips.

Thanks, Mr. Chips. Thanks, Mr. Chips. Isn't your name? Well, this is what we put out there. We were going to just put on some chips in a few locations. They've come on board. So we can do a lot of locations now. Now, we named yesterday

that on Friday, Free Chip Friday, this will start at 12. Yes. While stocks last at these locations. Yesterday, we had three locations. Wong's Kitchen in Hamilton.

This is the Frankton store. We will not be paying for the chicken, but I mean, feel free to side order some chicken on your dime. Wellington Seamark and Lower Hutt and Lincoln Fish Supply in Lincoln. Right. In Canterbury. We've got three more locations to add. Okay, good. We've got three more.

Tauranga, we're not forgetting about you. Bethlehem Takeaways on State Highway 2 there. 235A, State Highway 2. I've Google Mapsed it because I'm overly familiar with it. It's next to Bethlehem here. So maybe you can pop in and get a nice perm. That's just before you

get into Tauranga, right? Yes. Yep, yep, yep. That's right. That's always a busy road too. That is going to be heathen. It's near the Bethlehem Butchery, which, you know, I'm a bit of a nut for a good butchery. Love going into a butcher and having a look at the meats. Says they've got aged beef, continental and American cuts. Well, they're not paying.

No, they're not. I know they're not. Don't give them a free plug. Go and get some chips on Friday and pick yourself up some lovely meat for a... Right, okay. Low and slow this weekend. That's great. Where else have we confirmed?

Another location is in Newland in Auckland. Okay. At the Hollywood Bakery. Now, I didn't know Hollywood Bakery did a hot chip. Oh, yeah. Some of them do. Yeah, some of them do the punnets. I love a ginger slice from there. Yeah, yeah. They do a good size ginger slice there at the Hollywood Bakery.

To West Coast Road. And from looking on the map, I think they must be in the Calston shops. Okay, yeah. And the other location we can announce today is in Monaco, and this is Blue Sea Bakehouse and Cafe.

That's at 792 Great South Road. I'm so excited we're rolling these locations out. We need to get your hometown involved, Megan. Yeah. Has Nelson got a confirmation? My hometown. I think we need to get more towns on board.

Nelson would go off. Oh, would they love a hot chippy? Yeah, get some hot chips. No one listens to us in Nelson, and I blame you entirely for that. That's why we need to give them free chips. We need to bribe people to listen. Bribe them. Oh yeah, that's a good idea.

That'll get them. Right, so we are working behind the scenes. And when I say we... Have we started a Facebook event, Katie? Have we started a Facebook event so people can work out where the closest to them is for the free hot chips? Yeah, that's happening once we've fully confirmed everything.

So once we've got all of the locations. But it'll be like today or tomorrow. This is just saying, you know, a bit of an on-air brain still, but wouldn't it be better to get it going, people sign up, and then when we have updates, we can update them? Okay. Do you want to do it? No.

Okay. So we'll do it when we're ready, okay? You know this by now. It'll happen. Purely on Ideas Guy. Today or first thing tomorrow morning. Right, now we are working on more locations. Urgency. It happens today. Okay. It happens. morning. Right, now we are working on more locations. Urgency, urgency.

It happens today. Okay, boy. It happens. Okay. It happens now. These are hot chips we're talking about. I know, boy. I'm very excited.

You don't want them getting cold. No, they won't. No, they won't. It was metaphorical. Why don't you do it if you want it done so urgently? Because I don't want to. This is what happens every day. I'm the middle management of the show.

You're a delegator. Yeah. You, you, you. You middle management of the show. You're a delegator. You, you, you, you. You're not a doer. You're a delegator. Let's go to lunch. Free Chip Friday, it's happening on Friday. We'll update you with some more locations tomorrow and set him online for all of those details.

Chippies. Chippies. Yum. So there's a little bit of a, I mean, I'd imagine most people who work together and are friends with people they work with might get a collective show buzz for like a TV show. Yep. Going on, be it, I don't know, like Dancing with the Stars or whatever's happening in your life. But for us, it's generally Netflix shows.

And we do get in on a bit of a whodunit or a crime situation where, you know, there's all these things and you can talk about it and break it down. You've just started watching one and I'm like, oh, okay, now I've got to watch this. Evil Genius. Yeah.

Yeah. I remember this. I just started it and when I said this, I didn't know what it was about. I was like, I remember this happening. In 2003,

this guy who was a pizza delivery guy robbed a bank with a bomb around his neck and I remember it happening. It was really a weird, he was kind of taken hostage and had the bomb put around his neck. There remember it happening it was really a weird weird yeah he was kind of taken hostage and had the bomb put around his neck there was kind of a movie loosely based on it that came

out afterwards because i was going to say that is a plot from a movie yeah 100 and now i'm only just like 20 minutes into the show and i'm like oh what we got going on here so we're going to have discussions about that so everybody on the show's got to start this right previous to that fletch put us onto this bit of a whodunit that starred, what's his name? Michael C. Hall. Michael C. Hall, who was Dexter. You're done from Dexter and Six Foot Under.

And it's called Safe, and it's about this missing person in a gated community. It's an eight-part set. I finished it on Sunday. It's British. Oh. Plot twist for Africa. So you finished it, Megan finished it, Caitlin finished it, and I was about three episodes in,

so I've been doing the hard graft over the last couple of days, and I finished it this morning. I finished it. So I was ready to come in and talk about it, knowing that Intern Anya was at about the same stage that I was at yesterday, and she said, oh, I'm not finished yet. You're the only one that hasn't seen at all this show. Yeah.

Apart from James. James hasn't even started. He's tapped out. James doesn't care. Yeah, I haven't started. Not your thing, is it? Oh, yeah, but yeah, you guys go ahead

and talk about it. He's easy going. It's like, you know, he's chill. You know, like, with Game of Thrones or something, you're like, oh, yeah, he just started more of it.

Yeah. Oh, no, Game of Thrones, you don't want to... You don't want to, Game of Thrones, you don't want to. You don't want to miss out. No, you don't want to miss out. I know so many people that are so stubborn. They don't want to watch Game of Thrones just because everyone else is doing it. Stupid.

I'm not going to watch it. My wife was like that. You were like that. I was like that, too. You guys were all like that. I was like, I think you'll really like it. But I wasn't like, oh, she's got dragons. Oh, bloody stupid.

But anyway, this show, safe. the big reveals in the last episode. Like every classic, who's done it? And I said, oh, yeah, I finished and it was really great. And Megan just blurts out, oh, did you pick it with so-and-so? Says the full name of the person. And I turn around and Anya's jaw is on the floor. She's like, Margon. In my defense, I didn't realize that my god I in my defense I didn't realize

that she hadn't watched it and I didn't realize she was listening because she was in the producers booth but we were obviously playing out there how do you feel Anya

knowing now that you've got how many episodes left three three I feel so bad look I mean it's not a big deal

it just you've gone from like friend to colleague now. But remember when Caitlin told you who the Black Hood was on Riverdale? It's been a bad week, you know, if we're going to be honest. She spoiled that for you. I'm not the only bad guy. And to be fair, this is only an eight-parter.

Like, Riverdale's been got weird, like, seasons deep on that now. So that's, like, a bigger... That was worse. That was worse, to be fair, Caitlin. Oh, I was helping her got weird, like, seasons deep on that now. So that's like a bigger... That was worse. That was worse to be fair, Caitlin. Oh, I was helping him. No, you weren't. I feel like you did it quite vindictively as well. Yeah, Caitlin, dick move.

Megan, we were talking about you. No, I'm shifting blame. I would have hated you if you'd ruined... Safe for me. I'm shifting blame. Do you know what? Also, there's more to it, you know? It's like, there's a web...

Says the classic spoiler it's still worth the watch yeah it's the journey that gets yeah yeah i felt really bad the reveal itself Today's Fact of the Day is about why chip packets are so rustly and noisy. Okay. Because what would be your guess? It's foil to keep them fresh. It's freshness. Yep.

You reckon it's the old foil to keep them fresh situation where you've been sucked right in. Oh, okay. You've bought into this, the lie. But then what about a Pringles tube? That's got lining though, doesn't it? Foily lining. No matter where you are in the house, you can hear if someone opens a bag.

Pretty much. Well, it's along those lines. It's all to do with sound because the noisy chip packet makes your brain perceive that the chip is going to be crunchier. Huh. Because it's in amongst the rustly noise. So you're telling me they could put chips in a

non-rustly bag? Yeah. They could put them in anything that sealed basically it's just to keep the air. Right. It's to keep the air out. But then you don't want because the fat will seep into the packaging if it was paper. If it was paper, yeah. So it would rip too easy.

I mean, it doesn't rip easy. That's an advantage of the material it's made of. Like paper would get soft and rip. But some lead food technology scientists have done studies saying they did a sonic taste experiment. They teamed up with a professor of experimental psychology at Oxford University, and they made people wear noise-cancelling headphones.

Oh, yeah. And they gave them the exact same chips from the exact same batch, the exact same flavour, brand, and everything. One time, they let them listen with no headphones on in the opening, and they're playing with the bag as they ate them. And the other time, they put on noise-cancelling headphones, the best noise-cancelling headphones, so they couldn't hear the crunch of the, they could still feel the crunch in their mouth.

Yeah. Which would give them some sound of the crunch, but they couldn't hear the sound of the bag as they foraged around. And they said that the ones was more stale and spongy when they had their ears covered, even though they were exactly the same chip. Huh. And it's the same, they also tested the pop of the champagne cork. Yep.

If you hear the champagne cork pop and that sort of pop and fizz sound, you'll automatically think it's bubblier than one that you didn't see or hear be opened. Huh. Okay. So that's often why at restaurants they'll pop the cork. This is the theory behind it. They'll pop the cork at the table. Right. And they don't behind it. They'll pop the cork at the table. Right.

They don't bring it out popped. Okay. Whereas I always like to pop it and see how far I can shoot it. I know, same. If I can hit the ceiling. And you just give it a little bit of a shake. Yeah. Not too much that it's going to flow over,

but enough that it's going to be like poof, and you'll be able to shoot it a little further away. So yeah, there's absolutely no reason that they're still using the foil packets. Wow. Other than when you're eating from them, you perceive the chip to be a whole lot crunchier and fresher. Okay. So today's fact of the day is when we hear the rustle of the chip packet, we assume the chip's going to be crunchier. Fact of the nation

In fact the nation joined in Rightly so At the fact that I don't Have a rubbish bin At your house On the bench So everyday I'll just have a rubbish bin. At your house. At my house. And there's a bag on your bench. On the bench. So every day I'll just have a little plastic shopping bag and I'll fill it with rubbish

and then in the morning before I go to work or if I leave the building, I'll just chuck it in the rubbish room downstairs. Or you flush it down the toilet. Yes, that's right. Let's not forget that. The flushing. Interesting. Well.

Situation. Well, your peer pressure has worked. Your, oh, I'm never coming around to your house till you get a rubbish bin. Oh. your peer pressure has worked. You're, oh, I'm never coming around to your house until you get a rubbish bin. I don't think anybody went that far. Like, you're a disgusting human until you fix this problem. With that we said.

That we said. So yesterday, I went to Bening's. The French department store. French hardware store. And so I needed some paint. Not to be confused with the Italian to Benin's. The French department store. Yeah, the French hardware store. French hardware store. Benin's. Benin's. And so I needed some paint.

Not to be confused with the Italian hardware store, Mitretten. Mitretten. Yeah, these foreign companies coming in with their hardware. Mitretten, Omega. So, yeah, so it was there. I needed some paint. And then, so she was mixing the paint because it needed to match

This thing that I was touching up Did you take it in For a paint match? Yeah Pretty magic machine hey That's insane I watched a guy do it once I was like

I said to her It wasn't even my paint I was just waiting I said can you walk me Through how this works As you're doing it So they put this little Scanner up

And it matches there And you can't even tell This thing that I repainted This cabinet Yeah It looks so cool. It's a different paint brand. Yeah, I know.

It's a different paint brand and they just know how many whites went in there to how many blacks and how many blues and how many cyan. Well, you wait until you accidentally put a hole in your wall, Megan, and you need a color match. This will come in handy. Is that what you did? You put a hole in your wall? No, but I've used that before for that purpose. Yeah. And you couldn't even tell.

It was magic. Okay. Because there are so many different white paints, which I also learnt before I coloured it. That's also stupid. Okay, so you're in Benin. There's a white paint called black white. I know.

And it's not even black. Ridiculous. Anyway, so the lady's mixing up the paint. So I'm like, I'll just have a wander around because, God, it's exciting walking around. Oh, yes. Even if you're in Benin, or Maitreya.

Me that day in Namibia. You just walk around. Oh, God, you find so many things that day in the meagre. You just walk around. Oh God, you find so many things you don't need. I know. So I walk past, I'm like,

I'll go and look at the rubbish bins. So I went and looked at the rubbish bins and then I was like, Oh, you weren't that into sort of like a kitchen

storage situation? At first I was in just the normal bins and I was like, I could get a normal bin and put it under the bench but I was like, I'm going to look

at those ones you pull out and you screw them in. Yeah. So I got one of those because I found one and I was like I'm going to look at those ones you pull out and you screw them in so I got one of those because I found one and I was like I can do this I can do this and I put it in

it's on my Instagram story if you want to see like real mass ketro like builder stuff real if that gets you going like trainees are watching and be like

it felt like a mini episode of the block it didn't even show off your drill you're like look at my drill I know because I own a power drill which is like the mini episode of The Block. It didn't even show off your drill. You're like, look at my drill. I know, because I own a power drill, which is like the fourth time I've used it. So I'm slowly earning it.

Keep that drill. Fleet Chen's it on my Instagram if you want to see that. How did you get that drill? It's a grunty drill for a part-time drill user. I brought my drill around and it struggled to get through his concrete wall. And then he's like, I think I've got a drill. And he pulled out this drill that drilled through concrete.

Yeah, it's great. Because you've got to have a hammer drill worn. Yeah, this one's intense. I mean, we can talk about drills this time. So, basically... Did you get that from

Mitterten Mega? Or Bornens? Bornens. Why are you saying Mega at the end? Yeah. Oh, I had no idea. The Mecca.

Oh, sorry. Mitterten the Mecca. Okay. It's an Italian hardware store. It's an Italian hardware store. Yeah, come on, catch up. So not to be confused with the German hardware store, Blastmakers.

No, that's the Scottish hardware store. Blastmakers. Yes. Not to be confused. Very easy to confuse. Blastmakers. Bonesse and Maitre-te in the make. So long story Chris. Bonis. And the matter then the make. So long story short.

Europeans love a hard restore. They do. They do. Long story short. You peer pressured me into spending $100 on a. Yes. A rubbish bin. A double slide out bin.

A 20 litre, two times 20 litre. Good, eh? Slide out rubbish bin. I'm being a grown ass adult. Oh, it's so good. I didn't want to bring up any negative to it when I saw you install that, but given that they're phasing out single-use shopping plastic bags, which fit perfectly into those,

you're going to need to find another sort of bin liner. I know. Glad must be stoked all these supermarkets are, like, cancelling. Yeah, because they've fallen. They'll be like, oh, no, it's the single-use plastic bags. Yeah, well, you've got to buy them, don't you? That is a single-use plastic bag. Yeah, well, you've got to buy them, don't you? That is a single-use plastic bag. I know it is.

I know. Literally, when I use it as a bin liner when I got it from the shopping, it's been used twice. Yeah. But literally, if I'm buying a bin liner, it's only been used once. I know.

It is the actual single-use plastic bag. If you get a shopping bag, that's on its second use. So I was wondering on the back of this, has anybody listening been peer pressured into something stupid? You know like peer pressure's always like drugs, alcohol. Fitting in with the cool kids by doing

this. Or like when you peer pressure me into like eating a burger when I'm like trying to be healthy. You're always like, Max, I can. Max, I can. Yeah, we chant. I know, we chant. Well, that's the thing. Chanting. You guys didn't chant But chanting Normally helps push someone

With peer pressure But so Your normal peer pressure aside Has anybody ever been Peer pressured Into doing something stupid Like putting in a rubbish bin Like lame
