Yay, because of Chaps. Fry. Frying. Or maybe Friday, because we could all be fried with nuclear war. Oh, yeah, that's true. After that news about the American North Korea summit. I'm neat. Donald Trump would say to Kim Jong, I can never remember what he said.

Un. Un. Excuse me, adjust your attitude. Yeah. You're being unreasonable. Everybody thinks so. Well, at least we've got the thought of free chips today. Just to get us through today.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll die happy with a chippy in my mouth. Exactly. Locations all over the country. You can text CHIPS to 9696. Between 11 and 1, while stocks last, a whole lot of free chips around the country.

Mr. Chips have jumped on board. With heaps of chippies. You got those promotional t-shirts they sent Caitlin because Megan is itching to wear a promo t-shirt. I'm going to get you a college shirt. Megan doesn't like wearing t-shirts. She's like, I don't want to wear a t-shirt.

You, Pop Kettle Black, you're not, you. We'll get you in a polo. We'll get you in a promo polo. I don't want to wear a shirt to a formal event Well, no, that's just shirts. I don't like the restrictive nature of shirts Well you can't hassle me about a t-shirt It's got a fat neck I've got a fat neck

Shirts I can't do shirts on It's chubby though It's choking me We'll put you in a professional frying shirt today So come down and see us wherever you are in the country for your free chips. We've got as many places as we could possibly organise. It's been a great team behind the scenes sorting this out for us. Our promo team, best in the business.

If you text CHIPS to 9696, it will send you a list of where the free chips are going to be. Or the link to the event, which has all the information you would need. But what more information do you need? Potatoes have been sliced into chip form. They have them in cooked and then they go in your gob. Yum. All right, Friday jams today from Nine.

Megan, we warm up with Friday flashback. It's your pick today. So I shazammed a song at the gym and it was good at the time. I just need to double check if it's still good when I'm not at the gym. Have you tanned yourself? I have. Thank you for noticing.

Did you notice this? What for? She's tanned herself. What for? For free chip Friday. What, you want to look like a chip, do you? Because I look like a chip before it's been cooked and you look like one that's been cooked.

Both ends of the white potato spectrum. Does she need a reason? No, I do not. No, I just thought maybe you had something. What can happen? All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for story time. Interesting, odd, quirky news stories that I've found from around the world.

Vaughan and Megan pick one of the following three. Headline one, new wellness trend, utter bliss. Headline two, smacking, sorry, snacking Toronto cops on wrong side of the law. And headline three, man mistakenly doubles his half marathon. Having a real trouble reading my writing today. Man mistakenly... Having a real trouble reading my writing. Everything's problematic.

Isn't it typed on a computer? Yeah. I'm mad that I've typed. Having trouble reading my writing. I've got a job. I've got a job where I might talk for money I'm going to job

I don't know how I've got this far to be honest we're getting there man mistakenly doubles his half marathon I left out an S that was the problem there so he ran a full marathon Mistakingly doubles his half marathon. I left out an S. That was the problem there.

I'll chuck in the S. So he ran a full marathon. Yes. Man, that's amazing that he did that by mistake. How the hell do you do that? You keep going. You'd be in pain because if you're doing a half, you know you've only got a few Ks to go and you're in pain. Well, you've only trained for a half.

Yeah. Well, he did the whole thing. Well, good on him. Wow. I'm interested in the udder. Utter, because you said udder. That indicates something to do with moo-moos. Yeah.

Moo-moo. Cows. Okay. So you want that one? Yes, please. Okay, we go to upstate New York now, where hugging is, you know, it's said to be quite beneficial.

People know this is beneficial. Yeah. A spoon on the couch or a hug. Yeah. It's good for the soul, isn't it? It's good for the soul. It's human contact. It's why when you come out of your mother, skin to skin,

they say now you get the baby straight on and you have some skin to skin contact. Create a bond. That's right. We just need that cuddling, don't we? That physical contact. Well, Mountain Horse Farm in upstate New York is offering horse and cow experiences, which promise a farm where you basically go along and you stay on the farm. So it's quite relaxing.

Yeah. But you also get to cow cuddle. Yeah. How does that? I don't know. You just go up to them and you cuddle them. I've talked about this before and you guys are urban raised, whereas I was free range.

Were we like caged? Were we caged? Oh, non-caged. Barn raised. Barn raised. Barn raised because you weren't like inner city. You were urban, so you're barn raised. But I was free range.

And we used to have agricultural days. We just called them calf club back in the day, but I think it's agricultural now. And we used to have pet days. Yeah. We just called them calf club back in the day, but I think it's agricultural now. And we used to have pet calves that we'd take along. And it was always really nice when they were sitting down, because they were like your pets, you could lie down and like lie on them. Like a pillow.

And they are so warm. A cow is so warm to lie on. Are they like memory foam? Memory foam pillows? No, they're pretty hard. They're pretty hard. Very supportive. Right. So not a good pillow, but just nice to... Just nice to

cuddle with. I can totally get the cow cuddling thing. They're very, very cuddly. If you, I mean, not your average cow. It's weird that you know that. They're really warm. Well, you think about like a cow skin rug. Yep. But it's alive. Or it's a cow

skin rug, but it's got a heater under it. A cow skin electric blanket on an animal carcass. Have they given it a wash? The cow? Yeah. They're actually remarkably clean creatures.

Right. How do they clean themselves though? Because they can't lick. Can they lick all the way back there? They can lick a lot of the way around. Oh, okay. And they're out in the rain so most stuff just...

And they've got like a short... Well, they're as long-haired. I haven't cuddled personally with a long-ha way around. Oh, okay. And they're out in the rain, so most stuff just, and they've got like a short, well, they're as long-haired. I haven't cuddled personally with a long-haired cow. Right. I mostly did my cuddling with jerseys, short-haired jerseys.

Well, the farms say it's a chance to bring relaxation, healing, and awareness about the body language via cow cuddling and promotes comfort, mindfulness,

and builds assertiveness, which helps overcome fear, builds confidence, and lets you be playful and teaches you to set boundaries. Okay. Teaches you to set boundaries is a weird one. Yeah. What looks like you're lying against a cow and you're like,

I wonder what a cow titty feels like. No touching. No. The cow's like, no. Boundaries. Boundaries. They've explained that cows have a body temperature That's slightly higher than humans I told you

And their heart rate is lower than ours Yeah So cuddling up with a cow can actually Lower your heart rate Lower your heart rate, yeah And kind of relax you Because I know farmers get a bad rap Like

They just tend to get a bad rap Because you never hear about the farmers That have been like really Well because they're Caring to their creatures Putting all the pollution in the creek Yeah and you see the video of someone Chucking one and bashing a cow bad rap because you never hear about the farmers that have been like really caring to their creatures. Putting all the pollution in the creek sometimes.

Yeah, and you see the video of someone chucking one and bashing a cow, but the majority of farmers that I've known, like, they're their friends. They see them twice a day. They're their workmates. My dad's got a lot, as he's got older, he's got very, he worries about them. Don't stop. You saw him pull a cow. You saw him pull a calf out of the cow because the cow was not feeling well and it was in a bit of pain.

So he's like, I'll help you, girl. And he helped birth it. He's like a cow midwife. He's a cow midwife. He gives them a pat on the head. Call the midwife. Call the cow midwife. Cow the midwife.

Cow the midwife. Here's a go. Yeah, I'll get it. Go get us a bit of rope. Your dad might need to cash in on this Because a 90 minute session Costs 224 pounds So 450 New Zealand dollars

Ian could be raking it in I don't know I don't think he's paid To cuddle with a cow Selling milk for that much No Ian would make me cuddle one of the cows, wouldn't he? Yeah, but he's only got a couple that would

Oh, okay Because they don't know yet and they smell you and they can, you know, they're kind of like they were preyed on so they've evolved

to not trust the unknown. Right. It's a lot to a cow. It's a complicated creature. And I tell you what else, bloody delicious creature too. Oh, yeah. They've got it all.

My experience is the other end. Cuddles and Kai. Yeah. Get everything from a cow. F yeah. I got it all. My experience is the other end. Cuddles and kai. Get everything from a cow. F-M-X. Well, there was a mystery in my suburb, my home suburb, where I live, Te Aratu. Yeah. The story went, if you haven't heard, a young lady found prescription medication, pills, in the bottom of her McDonald's sundae.

Now, she said that her partner went to McDonald's to get her and her sister a sundae, came back midway through eating it. The sister said, man, this tastes funny. And then they investigated and found prescription medication. In the sundaes. Blame immediately cast from them to the best of their knowledge that it was McDonald's who had done it.

Now, McDonald's very quickly dealt with this and I mean, for a moment, do you think that could be the case? But they provided CCTV footage that showed the entire making of it

and at no stage did anybody sprinkle any goodies in the bottom of the sunbaker. Even before they said that, I said at the very time this happened, there's no way in hell that's at their end. McDonald's. There's no way.

You just want to get away with it. No. We've worked in the, yeah, back in the McDonald's. There's just no way. There's cameras everywhere. And you're too busy. You're timed and like. And why would you do that to some rat?

It just wasn't going to happen. No. So I do feel for McDonald's. It was one of those Facebook posts on your local Facebook page. It just goes, fire. Yeah. Like a fire. And the admins kept deleting.

The admins even did one of those posts. You know where the admins have to tell everybody to write it in? Yeah. Because they're responsible if it goes to court. I know, yeah, yeah. Yeah, defamatory. They can get in trouble. So they had to tell everybody to write it in like four or five times.

But it was because of the talk of the area. And, I mean, it made nationwide news. What the hell's going on here? Well, they have arrested somebody. Yeah. Police spokesperson has confirmed a 22-year-old man from Rodney. It says 22-year-old Rodney man. And when my wife read that, she said, I can't believe there's a 22-year-old from Rodney. It says 22 year old Rodney man and when my wife read that she said, I can't believe

there's a 22 year old called Rodney. I said no, he's a 22 year old Rodney man. So he's from the area of Rodney, which it's like up north of Auckland. It goes right across. It's north of the North Shore but then it goes right across

to Upper West Auckland as well. So he's been arrested and charged with two accounts of attempting to stupefy, which means to drug somebody. Yeah. Wow. So he was not an employee of McDonald's. He has no connection to McDonald's. And McDonald's are like, we knew that.

But then what? Thanks for dragging us through the muck in the meantime. What can McDonald's do? They can't sue some 22-year-old dropkick loser who put drugs in someone's sundae. Were they never going to recoup? No. The damage, you know, if they were trying to put a financial figure on the damage to the reputation. I mean, it didn't really affect it because the next day somebody did put a photo up of our local McDonald's drive-thru and it was haven.

Haven. Yeah, I don't think we really need to worry about the ramifications on McDonald's. They did come out and say that though. They did say, I think they said that, you know, what can we do? We've lost money and we've had a damage to our reputation. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, I don't know if they did lose money but One day and then we need nuggies again. And then, you know, there's all these subsequent stories saying absolutely nothing to worry. And then, you know, there's all these subsequent stories saying absolutely nothing to worry about. And, you know, maybe the Smiths stopped in there yesterday to celebrate. That's beside the point. That's beside the point.

That's still all right now, Bob. There's an initiative in Western Australia that I guess councils are kind of thinking about doing here where they are recycling bins. They look like whirly bins. Yeah. They're recycling bins and whirly bins, but they're bringing in clear ones. Why?

So it has on the front just a little sticker that says face your waste. And the idea is that anything you put in there, everyone can see. Just recycling or rubbish as well? No, this is recycling at this stage. But why do you need people judging your recycling? Well, I guess if you're having a big night

and you're putting all your beer bottles in. Or if you're, you know how some people cheat and put stuff in there that's not recycling? That's what I reckon the main issue would be. It would be to stop people putting the stuff that can't be recycled at the bottom of the recycling bin. Do people do that? So in our neighbourhood on recycling day,

there's been a few occasions where someone goes ahead of the recycling truck, opens up the bin, kind of has a quick flick on the top, and if they see plastic bags, put a sticker on your bin saying you've got plastic bags in your bin and they can't be in there. We're not recycling today. So then I came home once, and there was a sticker on it. I was like, what? So I read it.

I got it before the recycling truck, and it said there's plastic bags in there, and I opened it up, and all our shut-eye had bought out a bunch of recycling and put it in a plastic bag and tied the top off. No, you don't do that. No, I know. Does she not know this? She does now. So I took it out of the recycling thing, pulled the sticker off, and it got taken.

Right. But yeah, there's ones that don't. Yeah. So they're saying it's not to name and shame, but to create conversation. Oh, it's to shame. Also, I don't want my neighbours knowing I've had a couple of bottles of red every day for the last two weeks. Yeah, that's a shame. But also, I don't want my neighbours knowing I've had a couple of, you know, bottles of red every day for the last two weeks. Yeah, that's the thing. You can just see someone's willy-billy and it's just full of, like, wine bottles.

You're like, whoa, okay, Fletch. Calm down on the wine. It's a bit of a problem. Yeah. Yeah. But that would be all right here, though, wouldn't it? But they'd go manky real quick. But you know if you had a clear recycle bin, yeah, it'd be disgusting.

Oh, yeah, that would be gross. And you'd see all the juice. It would cause you to clean it. Well, yeah. Actually, maybe they're onto something. Yeah. But then they don't touch the recycling bins. The arm, the little trucky arm.

Yeah. I know, but you're going to get shamed for your neighbour for having a dirty bin. Oh, check out bloody 94. They've got a dirty bin. Shame! Shame! You would totally do that.

You'd love to Oh I'm very nosy I'd probably just go for a walk On the day of recycling Yeah yeah Ooh a few Domino's pizza boxes in there Oh yeah They would be the worst

News yesterday That our transport minister Mr Phil Twyford Who just lives around the road From me I always see him I always see him driving past in this big red van. Does it have his face on it?

Or like a courier van. Yep. Sometimes he just... Because he drives slow because he's Transport Minister. Because he's transporting people in his van. I assume so. I assume there's some sort of transporting happening. Right, okay.

Otherwise, why is he driving a van? Yeah. But he made a phone call on a plane when the door is shut. And that's a no-no. But it wasn't in the air, was it? No, it was in preparation for takeoff. Because they let you do it when you land. They're like, you can turn your phones on now.

When you're taxiing to the gate, you're allowed to use your phone. So what's the difference? Very good point. Oh, it's stupid. I got a phone call from my friend once, and he's a pilot. He was flying. It was in the middle of the air. I was like, there's one rule for you and one rule for us.

Oh yeah, exactly. It's a power trip. It is. It's a power trip by the people in charge. The man. Or the woman. Whoever's flying the plane. Why can't he just say, oh sorry. Why does he have to resign? Oh no, he offered his resignation. But it was one of those token offers. I would love to be in a position one time where I have to offer my resignation

knowing that they're just going to be like, can't accept it. But then I'd be like, I offer my resignation. They'd be like, phew, and out. It's like when you say to someone, oh, don't pay for that. Yeah. And they're like, no, no. And you're like, oh, okay. All right, then.

So he offered his resignation to the PM and she said, no, don't fail, mate. Don't be silly. Just don't do it again. So that's fine. But I've got the top six other bad looks for the Transport Minister. Number six. Lingering between carriages on a train. It always tells you to move swiftly between

carriages. But sometimes it's a bit of fresh air and you get to hear that. Sometimes it says no thoroughfare. Oh, you're not allowed to leave your carriage? No, sometimes you're not. Oh, but what if they lose in the next one? I don't know. Sometimes you can go through. Yeah.

I haven't met someone fall between them. Oh, yeah, people would, but that's silliness. Well, that's lingering. They're lingering. Yeah. And they're lingering and then instead of being silly. Right, okay. Number five on the list of the top six other bad looks

for a transport minister, talking to the bus driver. Because you know the sign always said, stand behind the line and no talking to the driver. You don't want to distract your driver. Number four on the list of the top six other bad looks for the transport minister, driving solo in the T3 line. Oh yeah, that's a bad look. Especially

in the big red van with your face on it. Yeah. I mean, it'd be pretty easy to spot. But then you could say all the people were in the back. Yeah. Prove it. Oh yeah, true. But that van's got no seats in the back. Oh yeah, they didn't have seatbelts on, they were just lying on the ground. Also not a good look.

No. For the transport minister. Number three on the list of the top six bad looks of the transport minister. Hanging your legs off the side of the ferry. Because you're not allowed to do that, are you? It's always like everything's got to stay inside the barrier on the ferry.

Because if you sit and you dangle your legs, you might lose a shoe. Yeah. Or you could go overboard. Or get eaten by a dolphin. Yeah. There's lots of things. Yeah, you could slip right shoe. Yeah. Or you could go overboard. Or get eaten by a dolphin. Yeah. There's lots of things. Yeah, you could slip right under.

Yeah. End up in the trunk. Number two on the list, playing on the train lines or tram lines. That's a big no-no. Yeah, don't do that. You're not even legally supposed to put a coin on there and then hide back and wait for the train to run over the coin and then find the flattened coin, which is always way harder than you think.

Yeah. I've never done that. Finding the coin afterwards. Have you never done it? No. We did it all the time as kids. Right. Not too far from train lines. We'd get a coin, go for a bike ride,

put it on the train line, have a picnic, have a sandwich. They never did get to the bottom of that derailed freight train, did they? Nah, they didn't. We were home by the time the investigator was gone. Making sure to, you know, fluff up the grass that we'd flattened with our blanket. No harm, no foul.

Yeah. Number one on the list of the top six other bad looks for the Transport Minister. Roof surfing on a car over the Harbour Bridge. Yeah. I mean, he's OTP on the way home from town. Yeah. It's not a good look. Climbs out the Uber's window onto the roof. It's not a good look. Climbs out the Uber's window onto the roof.

It's not a good look. No. He hasn't done it, but who's to say that it couldn't happen sometime in the future? Yeah. That is today's top six. At Melbourne Stadium, if you're a sports fan, cricket gets played there. AFL. Does cricket get played?

Yeah, Big Bash. Big Bash does. Big Bash cricket gets played there. Because they've got the MCG for the big cricket games yeah yeah for the big international tests the hub of cricket

but a whole lot of sport gets played they're home to five AFL teams now these AFL in Melbourne huge huge

massive I think Ed Sheeran did a bunch of nights here they have all the big concerts there too don't they the A-League champions at the moment Melbourne Victory

the football it gets played there as well andLeague champions. At the moment, Melbourne Victory, the football, it gets played there as well. And it is until, well, at the moment, it's still called Etihad Stadium. Which is the airline, isn't it? Yeah, and they also, they've got big money because they sponsor boats as well. Oh, yeah.

The boats when Team New Zealand races, I've seen Etihad scrawled on sales. However, they will not have the naming rights to Etihad Stadiumrawled on sales. Right. However, they will not have the naming rights to Etihad Stadium come September 1st. Yeah. It has been renamed Marvel Stadium, as in Marvel Studios. Marvel Comics.

Marvel Comics for eight years. This is not a joke. So Disney have bought the rights. The naming rights to the stadium for eight years. I can't find, I've looked into it, how much this would cost them. I can't find that that's been made public yet. Hundreds of millions. It's got to.

Hundreds. Wait, you'd be like, I want them to pick a, like, call it Iron Man Stadium. Wait, is Iron Man marble? Yeah. Or like Deadpool. Yeah. Deadpool Stadium. I know you've got all these characters, all these franchises, like even Avengers Stadium.

Oh, that'd be so cool. Imagine going to Avengers Stadium. Yeah. To watch a sports match or a concert. How cool would that be? And you might be thinking that's crazy, but I've just opened up, this is on IMDB, sorry, boxofficemojo.com, and I'm pretty sure this is only the money made in America. Yeah. In theatres But Black Panther last year made $697 million

The Avengers made $623 million The Avengers Infinity War at last tally for this It made $600 million So a couple of hundred million is a drop in the bucket To sponsor the stadium Look, I have to go down to the I mean, they've all made over $100 million. I have to go down to Daredevil, the 2003 Ben Affleck movie, before I can find a Marvel movie that's made less than $100 million.

Wow. They should call it Wakanda Stadium. How cool would that be? Wakanda forever. I wonder if they'll be able to have sections of the stadium named different or change the name for different events. Well, you could sit in the Wakanda zone or the Iron Man zone. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that would be so cool. Avengers Arena. And will they open up a store as well to sell merchandise? I don't know. Yeah, more than likely. And you'll probably see like the local teams that call it home have Avengers themed outfits. Wow, that would be so cool. But also this kind of, and just apparently this is the best time to be getting into the stadium.

Because apparently the local government's looking at spending like $225 million on the stadium and the surrounding areas to make it more of an entertainment hub, not just for sports, but for everything. Like you said, Ed Sheeran played there and did really well, so they want to do a lot more of that stuff and just really amp up the whole area. But to think for the next eight years, a stadium's going to be called Marvel Stadium. It's great. It's crazy. It's so. It's crazy, eh?

It's so good. Yeah. Yeah, no offence for Spark, but we've just got, like, Spark Arena. It's not quite the same, is it? We've got the Westpac cake tin. Yeah, but they're all, like, banks and stuff. What about... Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, DC's not having a great run. Their movies haven't been as good as the Marvel movies, so maybe they don't have the money to splash out. But also thinking that's a worldwide brand and it's just doing it in Melbourne. But you could have Batman Stadium. That still sounds badass. That's in Melbourne.

There's Batman Drive. There's areas, but it's named after a guy whose last name was Batman. He was like the first governor of Victoria. Because when I was in Melbourne and I saw Batman Avenue, I was like, okay, stop right now. Best town in the world. It's named a street after a superhero.

But it wasn't. He came before the actual Batman. He was a superhero to someone. I wonder if that's anywhere near the Marvel Stadium, if they were asked to have that officially renamed, given it's opposition company. Well, if they're paying that much money, maybe. Maybe. Fletch. Vaughn.

And Megan. The podcast. Hi-ya. Hi-ya. No, I. Vaughan. And Megan. The podcast. Hi-ya. Hi-ya. No, I said hi-ya. I'm like, I am, but I say hi-ya. Hi-ya. That's what I meant, actually.

Now it sounds better. Oh, hi-ya. Yesterday I was having a chat with some people I know, some friends, some acquaintances, some good folks, some good sorts. Because, you know, I've got no time for people who are no good. I don't have time for people. So if I'm talking to you, it's a good reflection upon yourself. Take it as a compliment.

Oh, we should be so lucky to talk to you. If I'm talking to you, take it as a compliment. Take it as a compliment because I don't like people. No, I was talking to some people. I've got a lot of time for these people. And they were entertaining me no end with a story about how they had some drinks with people from a theatrical production. Okay. And I'm not going to name which theatrical production, but if you're a detective, you'll

probably be able to work it out. Okay. And they said that they all seemed like really nice. Yeah. Just catch up for a drink. They're like, okay, that sounds great. Yeah. And then they got to this place Where they're having the drinks

And these people Couldn't turn it off Couldn't turn off That they weren't on stage They were just trying to talk Yeah To them But they were

Oh what's that noise Hold on And they'd all join in The show does not You're not doing this show I know and they'd all join in. You're not doing this show any good. I didn't want to go too much into Dina. The show's actually very, very good. I've heard it's a good show.

It's very good. Is it the one you went to the other night? Well, is it? Yep. Shall I say? I just feel like we should just stay. Okay. We'll act it out.

We're going to act it out. So imagine we're out. This is no reflection on the show. I've heard nothing but good things about the show. But this wasn't on the show. It wasn't on the show. Oh. Wow. Oh.

Oh. Oh, my God. I'm feeling that. Sky, it's stomped. They just bang shit. Oh, do mine. I'll do mine to make it better. I love what you're doing there. Yeah. That was real good. Oh, this mine. I'll do mine to make it better. I love what you're doing there.

Yeah. That was real good. Oh, this is good. Have we got any chance of making this show? I mean, you know we're in stomp now. I just stomped on the desk. We're in stomp, baby. So what, we now, we now.

Talk to these people. Well, now I'm just going to tell the whole details. They're at somebody's house. Yeah. And somebody shuts the cutlery drawer. And it goes, you know when you shut a cutlery drawer? That would be a great sound. And it goes, and you get the cutlery moving and the drawer shutting.

And they're like, oh. So they start banging the cutlery drawer. And then someone else is like, oh. Providing the beat. And then everyone's like banging on shit in this person's house and this person's like, hey, whoa, whoa. That's going to wreck something. That would be amazing.

Maybe they thought it would be entertaining but you're getting a free stomp on that. Stop. I would love that. You're getting a free show. Stop. Stop. Stop. Bang, ba-ba-bang, ba-ba-bang, ba-ba-bang. If I turn the TV up. Stop. Stop

touching things. Okay, stomp. You've had your fun, get out. Get out. I was just wanting a nice, quiet couple of wines with some pals to catch up on the week. You've stomped all through my house. And they were just, it was amazing that they turned someone's kitchen

into an orchestra pit of weird sounds. But at the same time, they're like, okay, stop. Great, that was, stop. It was great. Cool, they're like, okay, stop. Great. That was, stop. It was great. Cool. Great.

Stop, stop, stop. Can we just, everybody stop. And it got me, and I said, it's,

theatre people are like this. I've been, had some friends that did theatre and went to drinks and you walk in and someone's like, do you know? And start a monologue

and you're like, what the, what's going on? No. What? What's their job? They live it 24 seven. Oh,

I heard this, I heard this wonderful piece the other day. You're like, what? What do you mean? Doth thou be a way

to unsee? Horrific. I'm just making this up as I go along. But I was like, this is so weird. They weren't my, you know,

weren't my usual social circle. I was blown away. But I'd love to know. And because it's not just there to people. There's people who can't turn it off. Their job.

There's people who get home and their job, it's just... Like they get home and they're still like yabbering on, like a lot. Because you would imagine...

You would imagine... Does your wife ever say, Vaughn, you're not on the radio now? Every now and then. But a lot of the time she's also like, she also says, you just get home and you go, quiet. I said, yeah, but I've been talking heaps. I don't want to.

I don't want to do any more work. But that's the problem. You do this all the time. You're at work all day and then you get home and just you live your life and it just does pop up your job, doesn't it? I don't know. A hundred percent it pops up, but some people can't turn it off.

Imagine if you were going out with an accountant. I've heard of accountants too. You'd be out shopping and it'd be... They'd be adding things up. Yeah, yeah. I've heard the weekly shop with accountants can be quite something. Yeah.

Shut it, Daryl. Yeah. God, that would be frustrating. I don't give a shit on return on investment on a can of baked beans. Just put it in the trolley, Daryl. That's the one I like. No one likes oak baked beans, Daryl.

No one. No one, Daryl. It's the one I like. No one likes oak baked beans, Daryl. No one. No one, Daryl. The sauce isn't as good. I don't care about price per gram. It's going in. I'm going waddies. Get out of it, Daryl, the accountant that I'm dating. It's just not going to last, I don't think.

I'd love to know from people who know people that can't turn off their job. And I mean, people work insane amount of hours in this day and age. So, you know, it is hard for some people to turn it off. But I'd love to know. Oh, $800. You can text 9696. Who do you know that can't turn it off? Can't turn off the job?

We are talking about who can't turn it off. Who can't turn off their job? Their job seeps into every aspect of their life. You had some friends that had some theatre performers around and they stomped in their kitchen. Yeah, they gave a full kitchen-based performance. Which I would have loved. Because you've seen the show, Megan.

It's amazing. They wouldn't have been able to do it in my kitchen because they've got soft-close drawers. It would have been really... They've got those here. Let's see you slam a drawer when it's a soft-close drawer. Why can't you slam those? Have they got a mechanism in them?

Because they've got them here. Soft-close. Yeah, someone was like, you can't slam that. I was like, oh, I'll show you. And you can't. No, you can't. God, we've evolved as a species. It's the stomach breaking and everything.

Right. So what can't you turn off? Do you guys ever have something you can't turn off from this job? Because I can't hear a song without knowing when the intro's ending and I know when a song's about to finish too. I'm always just like, this has got about 20 seconds left. I always get scared when you're listening to Spotify or something and there's silence between the songs.

You'd better talk. You'd better say something. Dead air. Why isn't the announcer talking? Are they out of the toilet? See, now I'm worried because I don't ever have any of this. Because you don't do any of that that Megan and I are talking about. You don't.

Your job is literally just to talk. I do get like, yeah, no, maybe I do. I get a bit of anxiety because I'm hearing a song coming to an end and I'm not having you point at me and give me some weird sign language about what I'm supposed to do in the next part where we're talking. Because I've just told you 30 seconds before and you've forgotten. Yeah, it happens. So we want to know when you can't turn it off.

Somebody said, I take people for driving tests. Okay. This is my job. I give them their licenses and it's really hard to turn off my job. My friends won't drive with me. They make me drive everywhere. Because otherwise... He's the worst passenger driver.

Gareth, can you just identify the hazards we're coming up to here? Yep, I'm going to bet to open the door and push you out. That's probably your biggest hazard to worry about at the moment there, champ. Katie, your flatmates can't turn off their jobs. Oh, yeah. So my boyfriend and my flatmates are both arborists, so all they talk about is trees. So you can't take them

outside because if a walk takes an hour, they'll just point to the tree and be like, oh, that's that tree. And do you know what the name of that tree is? No, I don't care. And are they like, ooh, if we can just stop here and do a 360 of this tree, it's unweighted, I think we're going to face a major trunk breakage

in the next big storm. We went on a big walk up in Golden Bay, and they were standing there staring at a tree, and a group of tourists came and stood near them, like, ooh, what are you looking at? And they're like, oh, we're just looking at this tree. And I tell you what, we're going to take a long time because I can see another couple of trees up there

that I want to have a good look at. Thanks, Katie. Katie, Chris, your wife can a long time because I can see another couple of trees up there that I want to have a good look at. Thanks, Katie. Chris, your wife can't stop her job, can't turn it off. Yeah, she's an accountant. Oh, no. And, yeah, there's numbers constantly being thrown at me and people in offices and it's just full on, man. Does she hit you with some spreadsheets? Oh, spreadsheet.

You can't do anything without that girl knowing. Right. Cash is my best friend. You've gone off the grid, Chris. You've got an IRD in home. You've got a cash withdrawal from an ATM here for $200. Chris, I'm going to need to see some receipts. GST too, please, to prove they're in our

functioning business. Thanks, Chris. James, you can't turn off your job? Oh, I can, but it's just a choice now. I'm a truckie and the missus bloody loves it when she asks me to do something. I go, Roger that. Roger that,

rubber ducky. She bloody loves it when she calls up and I'll answer. I'll go, you're receiving, go ahead. Does she actually love it? I've been a radio chat. I can hear the grinning or the grinding of the teeth. I can't really tell the difference. So how would you sign off a call?

Yeah, copy that. Catch you later. Over. Yeah, roger that, fella. I'm wondering how we sign off now. So ro, copy that. Catch you later. Over. Oh, right. Yeah, roger that, fella. I'm just wondering how we sign off now. So roger that, roger that, James. What are your copies? Message received.

Copy that. Yeah, well, cheers, Cobb. I'll catch you on the road. See you in a minute, mate. Bravo. Thanks, James. Essie, you can't turn off your job? Yeah, James. Essie, you can't turn off your job? Yeah, hi.

I'm a teacher and I find myself using my teacher voice outside of school. So friends or family. And a friend recently got a new job and I was like, oh, well done. You're so clever. Good work. Good work. Are you patronising me? I'm going to give you

a sticker next to your name on the chart. Good work. Exactly. We'll get you out in front of assembly. But on the flip side, what about the telling offs? If you're like upset with someone, do they come across real teachery? Yeah, I try not

to because I can sound really patronising. Yeah. I just think some men would be really into that. Oh, yeah. Actually, maybe I should try that. You've been such a naughty boy. You've been very naughty. Very naughty.

Oh, okay. See? Essie, thanks for your call. Are some text messages in? I work in a timber call. It's happening. Some text messages in. I work in a timber yard, and we sell a lot of fence posts and timber. If I go anywhere, my partner gets so sick of me talking about the specs of fence posts

and how that could have been a better job. Oh, no. God, they've got some 150 by 150 there, but you've got to wonder if they leveled that up before stabbing it on the ground there. Maddie messages in her dad's a plasterer. He'll walk into

people's houses, run his finger down the wall and point out bad plastering jobs, which is horrible. A lot of teachers messaging in, actually. Someone said,

I have to often remind my husband that these children are his children, not somebody else's children and he needs to speak to them like he's their father, not their teacher.

Oh, right. So he cares too much. What's that? He's saying he doesn't care too much. No, no. It's just his tone. Yeah, his tone that he's talking to them like he's their teacher. I'm a nanny. I come home and I'm singing children's songs to myself while I'm getting

dinner ready and I realise that I'm singing the Wiggles when most other people would be singing a Rihanna song. And sometimes I talk to my boyfriend in the baby voice. A lot of people said that. A biosecurity officer said, I saw a mosquito fly past me and I followed it trying to catch it

and then identified if it could or could not be a malaria-carrying species from overseas. I believe I once saw a fruit fly in an airport as well. I alerted the biosecurity officer on duty to its presence. Oh, my God. Wow. That would be the... Yeah, you'd see...

Is that a malaria-carrying mosquito, is it? Well, I better alert somebody. Sort that out. The list of most trusted brands in New Zealand. So it's not New Zealand brands. It's the most trusted brands in New Zealand that's been released. I want to tell you number one right from the get-go

because I feel like everyone will guess it anyway. Save it till the end. Okay, am I going to save it? Have you never done a list before, Megan? Oh, I'm sorry. You've got to keep me tantalisingly teased. Is it one of New Zealand's courier companies? That's a good one.

That's a good one. You're going to get some hate and also your passes are going to be smashed today. Apart from my career. Personal career is exempt. So I will take you from, actually I don't know what number it is,

but I'll take you from the bottom to the top, okay? Okay. Dilma. So T. Oh, okay. Is it at the bottom?

No, no, no. This is like the most trusted brands. But at the bottom of that list. 10? 10. No, I think it's 9.

I think they're doing the top 9. Weird that they've done this top 9 thing. Okay. Sleepy head. Who put this together? I don't trust them. They've slipped right down my... Latest digest. Well, I think it's ninth. I think they're doing the top nine. Weird that they've done this top nine thing. Okay. Sleepy head. Who put this together? I don't trust them.

They've slipped right down my... Reader's Digest. Well, I don't trust them anymore. They've only done a top nine, but they told us it was a top ten. Sleepy head is next. Okay. The beds. Yeah.

Trust a good sleep. I don't know. Tip top. Oh, yeah. Trust them. Yeah. They make delicious ice cream. What's not to trust?

What's not to trust? Exactly. The next couple are a bit weird. Sometimes I don't trust them, though, because you buy goody gumdrops with the lollies, but there's not enough in. What's not to trust, exactly. The next couple are a bit weird. Sometimes I don't trust them though because you buy goody gumdrops with the lollies but there's not enough in there. You know? Yeah, but you say that but for everyone else who's enough you just want like a ratio of

50-50. Yeah. Okay. That'd be good. Yeah. So number six, the six most trusted brand is Resene. The paint people? Yeah. Okay. That's a? Yeah. Okay. That's a fair call. I've never like bought a pot of red paint and it's turned out to be blue.

I mean, it's not hard to not be trusted as a paint company, is it? No. Trusted, worthy. They're like, oh, this is weatherproof and then it rains and it runs off your house and you're like, Resene! So yeah, trustee. Okay. Number five, Nikon.

The cameras. Oh yeah, okay. Not gonna let you down. Nah, only from a good angle though. Doesn't matter what camera company you are. If you've got a double chin. Catch you from mumbling. You're like, I don't trust anybody. Number four is Toyota. Okay. Really? Because haven't they

had a couple of like recalls and stuff over the last few years? I'm sure they've had some recalls. Well, you better check you're working there because they're the fourth most trusted brand. I was disappointed when I heard it. Hey, they do the RAV4. The RAV4. It's been a trusted hairdresser car for years.

For many, many years. Oh, and, you know, every time you jump on an Uber, there it is. You're in a Toyota. Well, and everybody knows if you get a a Toyota they last for years and years. Oh yeah. And they're always lots of parts. I mean as far as

car companies go very trustworthy. Number three is Canon. Yeah. Cameras again. What are these camera people so I don't know.

I wouldn't have thought yeah. Number two and I feel like it's been number two for a while Air New Zealand. Second most trusted company in New Zealand is Air New Zealand.

What have they got to do? They must be like, what have we got to do to get to number one? Yeah, we're always the bridesmaid, never the bride. I think I know what number one's going to be. Yeah, number one has been number one for seven years. After a bit of a scandal with Cadbury when they had the palm oil situation in 2011, Whittaker's is the most trusted brand in New Zealand for the seventh year running. But it's because we can eat it.

It's chocolate. It's chocolate. Is this delicious? Yes, it is. I trust you. It's weird that no other cameras made two appearances but chocolate only made one. Yeah, no other food companies. Yeah. Well, because they asked

people on all sorts of brands. It was like real estate, heat pumps, jewelers, insurance, car rentals, bikes, vitamins and supplements. They did right across the board. And two Canberra companies got in there. Yeah, but you just said real estate agents. I'm not expecting them to take one of the camera spots. It's true. All right.

BDM. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights. The Kiwi Treat Edition. take one of the camera spots. It's true. All right. Well, after weeks of voting, we have a winner. We have a winner. It was hot chips. And, you know, we announced the winner a week or so ago

and we thought, well, we've got to celebrate. We did when we did the fast food edition and we put on like $1,000 at McDonald's. Cheeseburgers. And we did cheese, well, we've got to celebrate. We did when we did the fast food edition and we put on like $1,000 at McDonald's. Cheeseburgers. And we did cheeseburgers,

thousands of cheeseburgers or however much that bought. I'm not good at maths. I think they cut us a deal because of our mass order. Yeah, we did get more, right? We gave away like over $1,000. More than your average.

So today, we're doing free hot chips for the country. Asterix. Parts of the country. Parts of the country. Parts of the country. So Mr. Chips came on board, who supply a lot of chips. A lot of chips.

They know chips. They know chips. They are chips. You're wearing a promotional Mr. Chips beanie. I am wearing a Mr. Chips beanie. Now, we've also received some promotional t-shirts. Yes, we can wear these as we go to our various locations today. No, no, no.

No one told me I had to wear a T-shirt. Megan doesn't wear T-shirts. We know this. I ran out of time. I was going to get you a Mr. Chips blazer. A Mr. Chips. So they do like a satin thing that was like a lace trim. This one just picked up.

Look at this T-shirt. Semi see-through. Like if you get a little bit chilly out there in this fletch, it'll be nip city. I don't know if Mr. Chips wants that brand alignment. No, probably not. So behind the scenes, people have been working

to find locations where we can give away hot chips today. Now, we aren't everywhere around the country and bear in mind that these are great New Zealanders.

These people that run these fish and chip shops or these takeaway stores are taking time out of their day. Oh, 100%. Some of them are opening early. Yeah, give out free chips.

They're great people. I'm nominating them all for night and night hoods and dame hoods. Yes, me too. Night and day hoods. Night and day hoods. That should be a thing. They get a night and day franchise.

Yeah, it literally should. So here is where we are going around the country now. If you miss these details, you can text CHIPS to 9696 or join the Facebook group. And Nelson, Salisbury Takeaways, Richmond, 27 Salisbury Road. You know where that is? Yeah. It's famous.

It does good takeaways. Salisbury Road Takeaways. Good takeaways. Fung-a-day. Okada Takeaways in the Okada Shopping Centre. Wellington. Wellington. Wellington Sea Market, 87 High Street, Lower Hutt. In Hamilton, Wong's Kitchen.

Now, on the Massey Street, Frankton Branch. Yeah, that's the Frankton Branch. Christ, you're... Lincoln Fish Supply, 7 Gerald Street, Lincoln. Tauranga, Bethlehem Takeaways in Bethlehem. Auckland. We'll be at three locations. Now, we will each be overseeing the running of these.

I will be at Ponsonby Fresh Fish and Chips, which is on Ponsonby Road. They've won Metro Awards for Takeaways. Yeah, and they've kept all of them all in the window from previous years. Yeah. So you'll be there, Megan, overseeing that. Yeah.

I'm going to be going west to New Lynn, to 2 West Coast Road, Hollywood Takeaways. Not bakery. You said bakery the other day. Well, that was a typo on somebody else's. Yeah, okay. Apparently there's no Hollywood Bakery at 2 West Coast Road, but at 2 West Coast Road there is a Hollywood Takeaways,

and I'm going to be heading west. Now, I'll be at the Blue Sea Bakehouse and Cafe in Monaco, which is at 792 Great South Road. Fletch wanted to go to Monaco so I could go to Krispy Kreme afterwards. I mean, I figure, well, I'm eating hot chips. I may as well eat like five donuts. Yeah, write the day off.

Yeah, I'm writing the whole day as a cheat day today. So we would love to see you come down. There will be free chips. Wild Sox lasts from 11am until 1 o'clock. Knock yourself out. Just please be pleasant to the vendors because I imagine there's going to be a few people. Yeah.

I think we'll give you a punnet, but obviously it depends how many people turn up. You might even be able to get more. Like, you know, we're pretty laid back. Maybe. I don't want someone coming up and saying, oh, I've got five friends in the car. Can I grab a punnet for them?

And I will say, in West Auckland, no. Now, we will be accepting the costume rule if you come back in a costume. In a decent costume. Yeah, you will be allowed another second punnet. Yeah. And even a moustache on a finger. Well, I'm not going to be running that. I'll accept that because I think that's good effort.

I am going to be stopping on the way, though, to pick up a big bottle of sauce. Oh, right. Okay. I'm thinking Whitlock's Home Style Chunky Sauce. Right. Because that's a real. No, it's Chunky Sauce on your chips. No, look, Chutney, it's Chunky.

It's Home Style. I love that sauce. Don't put Chunky Sauce on your chips. No, it's good. It's got a bit of body. Yeah, it does. It's got a bit of fragrance. It's the one you always dip the hot dogs in it.

Yeah. Like the carnies have it. Oh, no. It's got a bit of fragrance. It's the one you always dip the hot dogs in it, like the carnies have it. Oh, no. That's different again. Oh, no. The carnie sauce is mainly made out of apples. It's really sweet. I really like that.

What? What kind of carnie are you going to? You know this sauce? No, no, she's right. It looks like tomato sauce, so it's kind of pinky. Yeah. It's actually made most out of apples. It's carnie trickery.

It's carnie magic. It's the one they dip the hot dogs in. It's delicious. You should get some of that for your... Okay. I mean, you're going to be absolutely scoffed in Ponsonby if you don't have like a dipping hummus. No, I need like a lemon aioli or something.

You're going to have to take your stupid dog on a leash as well. Dress it up. Now, are these chips gluten-free? And one must ask, are they cooked in animal fat or pure vegetable oil? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's a free tip. Get it in you.

Yeah, exactly. Knock yourself out if you want any more details on our Facebook page. FEM. The most popular passwords of the last year have been analysed

and you might be wondering who's just giving out their password when someone rings going, hey there, we're doing a study on passwords. What's your password?

Just primarily for the study, promise. So how they got these were over 2017, another big year for hackers. Yeah. And 61 million leaked emails and passwords happened. And log on details that involve passwords. There are some sites, and you probably want to pick a trustworthy one, that you can put in your email address, and it will tell you if your password or that email address

is on a database of leaked stuff. Right. And then you can change it. But again, be careful because that could just be people wanting... I mean, you don't put in your password as well. You just put in your email address. No, your email address, and then it pops up anywhere. Yeah, right.

So 61 million leaked passwords have been studied. And your traditional passwords are right up there. QWERTY, which is just across the top of your keyboard. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. And then some as long as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Because some would say you've got to have 8. And lots of people have password as their password. Lots of people have capital P, ass 1, because it's got to have

a capital letter, a number, and at least 8 letters. Basically anything that asks for symbols, people still use password, but just replace like the O in word with a 0. Alright. So all of these. This is actually

a term called password keyboard walking, where you walk across your keyboard to make a password. So it's well known to hackers, and they do try people with password walking. One of the most popular password walks is 1QAZ2WSX. Oh, so you just go down and back? Down in the first two lines, straight across, quirties one, one through whatever,

number wise, A, S, D, F, G, F, J, K. What if you skip the S, go A, D, G. Oh, you're smart. I know, I skipped one. That's cool. Maybe that could be called keyword hopscotch. Yeah, okay. Sure.

So that'll be. But one of the things that came out of this is how many people use passwords, passion word passwords. Right. Like I love you is a very popular password. Okay. I love you. But so is F you, but the whole word.

Right. Right. And a-hole, but the whole word. Right. And F off, but the whole situation. It's because when you're trying to type in a password, it's like, no, no, no. So then you write FQ with an exclamation mark. Or a one.

Accepted. Brand wise, and they think this is a hangover from when everybody first got social media and needed a password. Yep. MySpace is a really popular password still. The old, the sort of OG social media. You're young, you need a password. You put it in MySpace.

In your MySpace account and then it just becomes your password for everything after that. So MySpace is a really popular password. Mustang, apparently after the car. LinkedIn is a very popular password. Probably on LinkedIn accounts. Yeah. No one really... No. I mean, people do

take LinkedIn seriously, but you get on there and it's like, whoa, too much for me. It's too serious. Ferrari and Playboy are other brands. Pop culture wise, Superman tops the list, along with Pokemon, Slipknot, the band, Star Wars and Metallica.

And in Britain specifically, people after their favorite football teams, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona and Manchester are making it. So, I mean, this article could otherwise be known as trying to get into a friend's email account or Facebook account. Try these ones. Yeah, pretty much. Friday Flashback. All right.

I've gone for rock today. American Rock Group. This is from 2008. So this is the first year this song has been eligible. So it'll blow your mind that this song's 10 years old anyway. This song was written about a model. Yeah. A Victoria's Secret.

It was played at a Victoria's Secret show. Was it written about a Victoria's Secret model? I think she was a Victoria's Secret model. But it was definitely written about this. Yeah, she is. She was an angel. Do you want to say who this? Well, it's kind of a giveaway.

Does this remind you of when you started working with your two favourite human beings? Yeah, this song was massive when I started working with these two. Yeah. We won't hold that against her. Lily Aldridge is the model. Really?

Which has probably given it away to a few people because she's married to the lead singer of this band and they're all related.

Oh, what a way to get a wife. Write a number one song about her that everyone around the world can sing. So today

for a bit of rock on Free Trip Friday Kings of Leon Sex on Fire. There is this is one of the greatest sing-alongs when you're drunk or sober. Yeah. So good. Good song.

So good. It is Free Trip Friday, New Zealand, and it's your Friday flashback, Kings of Leon, Sex on Fire, on ZM. We'll be right back. Like me Has people talking Talking Yeah Your sex is on fire Yeah Your sexist on fire Consoled with a watch that transpires Bye. Kings of Leon.

Dun, dun. Sex on Fire, your Friday flashback today, Megan. Banger of a pick. I don't care what anyone says. That song is fire. Fire. Fire. Fire.

So good. Praise be, Lady Megan. Nailed it. Praise Megan. Nailed it. Under a zine. Fantastic song, under a zine. We used to sing this to a work colleague that always seemed to be popping off to the doctors for another check-up about an STD in a choir.

Still sounds like an anthem for STDs, but I love it. Banger, way to go. Awesome choice. Yeah, there's some negative, but I just feel people are negative for the sake of being negative. We're not negative today. It's not a free chip Friday. Not free.

Today is free chip Friday. Get your freak on. For those that don't know, locations across the country today where you can get free hot chips on us, text CHIPS to 9696. From 11 to 1, while stocks last. Thanks to Mr. Chips

for giving us so many chips yeah want to talk now about your boyfriend bless his heart when he's accidentally bought the wrong thing

so you've sent them to buy something and they bought the wrong thing because it happened I thought you specifically meant my boyfriend and I said he's a secret this was in the US

I'm keeping him on the down I don't want my wife to find out I've got a boyfriend so it was her birthday and the partner This was in the US. I'm keeping him on the down low. I don't want my wife to find out. So it was her birthday and the partner was like, what do you want for your birthday, honey? Like, very thoughtful.

And she said she wanted a highlighter and a brush saying she preferred Fenty, but she was open to anything that popped. Now, to me, that makes sense. Okay. I know Fenty's Rihanna's thing. She's got a makeup brand. Yeah, I can see what's happened here, but a highlighter, is that a highlighter? So she wants like a highlighter for your cheeks, a brush to put it on.

Preferably from Fenty, like Rihanna's line. I thought the highlighter was a hair thing. Highlights. Yeah, so did I. Oh, no. Is it not? Okay. What are you doing on the face? Where do you put it? On your cheekbone.

What do they make? Cheekbones pop. Yeah, so you got that. They might make my cheeks pop. I've told you. You've got great cheekbones. Thank you. I just wanted a compliment.

Just enhance them with a little bit of highlighter, you know? Right, okay. So he's boys here. The boys will flock if you get some. He's boys.

Babes, we'll talk about it after the show, but if I could just get a couple of lines there, you're going to be knee deep in it, boy. He's bought her a packet of highlighter like pins. Yeah, so he went out and bought some highlighters and a hairbrush because she said a brush and highlighter.

Yeah, yeah. So he technically is not wrong with his shopping list. And she wasn't angry about it. She's just posted it online and said, look, bless his heart, not what I was wanting. Yeah, he got her to the best of his knowledge what she wanted. Weird, I don't know why. He was so confused.

Yeah, so attempted. Beautiful attempt. But I'd love to know when you... Could we do it the other way around as well? The girlfriend wouldn't get it wrong. I think so. I know a couple of guys whose girlfriends have been like, what do you want?

And they start naming like video game accessories. Oh, yeah. Or stuff for PlayStation or Xbox. Beyond me. And they get them the wrong thing, the wrong game. Right, like they're like, I want... Well, there's been so many Call of Duties. Like, for example, I know a guy who got a really old Call of Duty

because she went to EB Games and found it for like five bucks in the bargain. She's like, oh, my God. Yeah, oh, my God, this is great. This is... Does everybody know about this bin with all these great games in it? And he didn't get the new Call of Duty. He got a really old Call of Duty. Okay.

Well, let's see. Let's see. Is it guys or girls who are worse at this? All right. So when did you send a boyfriend or a girlfriend to buy something and they didn't get the right thing? Have you had this with Mr. Toyboy? Nah. He's pretty good.

He follows instructions. Yeah. God, you wouldn't want to get it wrong with this. Yeah, I was going to say. Yeah, no, he's well trained. You get them young and you train them. Okay. You get them straight out of school.

Sometimes, like, while they're still in school. And that's aimed at both of you. So we want to know when you've sent the partner to buy something and they've mucked it up. This is after a guy in the US, a wife was like, hey, for my birthday I want highlighters and a brush, like meaning makeup comes back with literal highlighter pens and a hairbrush.

He tried though. He tried his best. Rihanna's makeup brand, they've actually reached out and they've actually got something free out of this. They said A plus for effort. Slide into our DM so we can hook you up with the real deal. So she scored makeup for free. What if this was a ploy all along?

Maybe. Yeah, I know. Well played. Well played. Good ploy. Love a good ploy. We've got some text messages from people who were sent out for something and came back with.

Should we start with some calls? Yeah, okay. Elise, this was Dad was sent out by Mum to get something. Yeah, Mum wanted some nice new candles for the house, you know, painted pretty. Yeah. And Dad found a real good deal at the warehouse. Five bucks for 20 tea lights.

Oh! Five bucks for 20, that's four per dose. eight, that's 20, that's four per dose. 25 cents a tea light, that's not bad. Mum was thinking some nice Akoya though, wasn't she? Yeah, yeah, she was. Yeah, you know, like an $80 candle. But then if Dad drops a bit of vanilla essence on the top of that tea light, you've got a little vanilla scented candle.

Do you? I don't know. You could actually have a huge fire hazard and I don't want anyone to try that. Thanks, Lisa. Amy, you got the wrong something or other for your boyfriend. Yeah, yeah. So the whole PlayStation thing is above me. Yeah.

And I thought I'll be a real good girlfriend and I'll get him NBA 2K17. Little did I know it was actually 2K18 is the right one to get. Oh, yeah. He wasn't happy. You were a year out.

Did he already have 2K17? Yeah, yeah. Because he talked to me there was a new one coming out. And they always come out a year ahead kind of way. Like it would have been 2017 when you bought 2017. Well, that makes sense. Exactly. So I thought, yeah, I'm going to be the best girlfriend ever.

And he opened it and I was real excited and he's just like, what's this? What's this? Were you able to take it back and swap it for the new one? Yes, luckily I could do it. But, oh, this is a mission. You tried your best. Have you lost him to Fortnite now? Yes.

Yeah. Every single night. Yeah, girl. Where we dropping, boys? Straight into Tilted. Get them kills. Well, get killed in my case.

Amy's had enough of this. Yeah, I'm over it. I'm over it. I was playing yesterday and my wife's like, you were very excited. And I was like, was I?

And she's like, I'm going to video you next time. You were giggling at one stage. I was like, I was pretty excited. I feel like we need a support group for Amy and all the girlfriends

that have lost their boyfriends. Oh, my wife put up a photo saying when we got back from holiday, straight back into this and it was a picture

of Fortnite. She was inundated with women wanting to form some sort of support group. Thanks, Amy. Dan, you were sent out for something?

Yeah, yeah. My health conscious ex Says to me one Saturday Oh babe, you know I need some green milk And I was like, yeah, sure thing And I came back with lime primo To be fair, she didn't say green top milk

Or green lip milk She said green milk Looking back, green top, that was the go, but it was 10 o'clock on a Saturday, so naturally I'd only just gotten up, but I wasn't really thinking about it. Lucky she didn't ask for light blue milk, because who knows what flavor that is.

I don't even know what that is. Bubblegum. I would try, what would that taste like with coffee? Lime milk. Horrendous. Awful. Probably would actually. Terrible idea.

Thanks, Dan. Some other text messages in. I'm severely lactose intolerant. So I say to my partner, you need to buy a dairy alternative. Dairy free alternatives to standard loaves of bread. He's brought home everything. One week he brought home cheesy rolls. And he was like, look, it's not bread, but look, it's got cheese on the top.

He's brought home a bacon and cheese pull-apart. I'm sorry, no, cheese is off, like, cheese is out. Oh, he's trying, though. Cheese is trying. Is he, though, or does he just want to eat all the cheesy rolls himself? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I can see his plan now. Exactly.

I can see that's working. Fact of the day, day, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I can see it's planned now. Exactly. I can see that it's working. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that the sports huddle was invented by a deaf American football player. Oh. Oh, right. The sports huddle where you go in a circle and your arms up and you have your conversations about your next play or whatever. Very American football, the sports huddle.

Yep, it is. You go in there and you say the code numbers of whatever play you've organized. But they had a deaf quarterback. So obviously his communication was louder. Yep. But it was the sign language that he didn't want the other team to see. So he had the plays, the pre-planned out plays. He had hand signals for them and he spoke in sign language.

Right. So when they were standing around doing the sign language, people from the other end got onto this deaf quarterback and they're like, he's using sign language and could binocular in and see what his sign language was going to say, thus kind of working out what play they had coming up. So he said, guys, to avoid this, we need to form a really tight circle so nobody can see lip read,

nobody can read what I'm gesturing with my hands or read American Sign Language. And then the sports huddle was invented. The tight knit. There had been times where they stood in a very loose circle apart, maybe sitting down, stretching or whatever. But this was the actual

invention of the tight and close knit sports huddle. And it was also, people couldn't see the deaf quarterback's hands. He was signing to people on the tight and close-knit sports huddle. And it was also, yeah, people couldn't see the deaf quarterback's hands. Right. He was signing to people on the plays and what he had up a sleeve. We used to do the huddle at netball, but mainly just because you huddle and you're like, oh, make it look like we're talking about something. I'm really tired.

Like, let's look like a professional team. Yeah. Yeah. Got any oranges left? No. And it looks like you're doing like a real good team chat, but it's just like how long's left in this quarter? Did you get into a huddle for three cheers for Hoot Beret?

Oh, yeah, but not an arms around huddle, just like hands in the middle. Oh, right. Yeah. But you had an arms around huddle for the discussion of the tactics. Yeah. Well, made it look like you're talking tactics. All right, get in for a close-up.

Not a lot of tactics at lower grade netball, like high school netball, was there? But you asked Susie's mum's inability to bring enough oranges for each quarter as she was, you know, so importantly told and how Catherine's mum didn't wash the uniforms. She just took them home and let them dry and then brought them back in. Yeah, and they smell now.

Yeah, yeah. She's not getting that job again. She thought she got away with it. No, you've got to give her the job and you've got to double down on your reminder of who to wash them. You can't let her get away with this. Because that would have been her ploy, right? Yeah. Don't get good at something you don't want to do.

As said by ancient French Renaissance poet Megan Salas. Now Megan Papadopoulos. So today's fact of the day is the tight sports huddle was invented by a deaf quarterback. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Intern Anya mentioned the gym yesterday, which means she has to put a mark on her own chart

for she's keeping a track of who mentions the gym the most. So Anya and Caitlin actually have in their draw, a pull-out draw, a tally sheet of every time Vaughan mentions the gym. No, it's anybody on the show mentions the gym. I'm sorry, but you've got the most checks on it, Fletch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I was going to say, you've got the most checks on it, Fletch. Yeah. Oh, to see. You mention it the most.

Like, oh, God, what am I going to watch for my cardio today? I need a new pair of pants. Oh, my God. Peter takes ages to download a show on the Wi-Fi for the gym later. Oh, and, like, my fitness pal. Oh, my God, do you know how much, like, a Peter bread, like, from Peter Burt is on my fitness pal? The bread is the surprising evil cousin.

It's going on the list. Stop talking about it. That wasn't the gym though. That was calorie talk. That's calorie talk. You have so much gym talk as well. Calorie talk and gym talk.

What about Fletch? Oh God, I've got to get out of here because I wanted to go to the gym before lunch. And that's why he's in the lead by about 30 points. I am smoking. Unbelievable. But she has why he's in the lead by about 30 points. I am smoking.

Unbelievable. But she has to put herself on the list. My first one. Yep, saying, I'm at the gym. I've got a problem. What's your problem?

And you'd like to air this on air, this grievance. Yeah, well, firstly, I mean, it was nice. Like, I've been paying to go there for a bit. To where? To the gym.

Oh, yep. Write that down. Write that down. That's cheeky. No, but let this paying to go there for a bath. To where? To the gym. Oh, yep. Write that down. Write that down. That's cheeky. No, but this is all... How does this gym tally works if the conversation continues? You don't get pinged. You're not involved in it.

It's our little thing. Yeah. It's our... Because we need some fun in our lives. It's our little side... Oh, you work with me every day. Fun, fun, fun overload. Some would say you're having more than your fair share of fun.

No. Whatever. I'm going to start a tally of... Oh, God, I wish I wasn't single. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. I might need a ream of paper. One of those A4 things you put in the photocopy.

Oh, my God. Okay. Me and James are just like, calm your fart, all of you. James just sunk into his chair. I've got, I need Botox in my, between my eyebrows because this is my fletch vein. We've all got that. Carry on.

Yeah. It's Friday, guys. Let's just try and get through this conversation. Friendship Friday will be off if you do not behave yourself. Did you say Friendship Friday? Friendship Friday. And our friendship. Okay, carry on, Anya.

Just at the gym yesterday, mark it down again. And saw these signs everywhere for just like real passag things. And like I was trying to work out, you know, how you do. At the gym. At the gym, on the treadmill, working out, running. And it's like, oh, hey there, buddy. Did you forget your towel? Oh, hey, don't forget a drink bottle.

They're just everywhere. And it was overwhelming. Because you've seen some photos through. My problem was in the photos, they were using, like, kids doing cute stuff to kind of, like, nullify the aggression. Weren't they? Well, that's the, yeah. That's the passive part of the aggressive. Okay.

Right. But then they, I mean, I don't know what your problem is. They just want people to be, I don't know, clean at the gym, don't they? A kid holding a weight that's strong enough to use the weights, strong enough to put them back. Okay, that's pass-ag. That's pass-ag. Hey, you.

Please don't pour your protein down the sink. It clogs up our pipes. Thank you. And it's a kid pointing at the camera. But then how? These are obviously problems for them. How are they supposed to say it? No protein. Oi, idiot. Don't tip that, don't Yeah, moron, like you're

a grown up. Talk to them like a grown up. Don't pour protein down here. Come on. All my notes, if I own anything, and they need a note to end with, come on. What were some of the other signs that you sent? There's one right in front of the cardio area where

an elderly lady's blocking her nose and then a very small writing that says, have you got deodorant on? That was my favourite. Oh, how grim is this gym? I mean, if you're in there, it smells fine. Humans need to be told to wear deodorant. Yeah, it was really grim.

It always bothers me anywhere that it says, please no spitting in the sinks. I'm like, surely that goes without saying and surely if you were going to do it don't you yeah assign it where you are

if you're going to spit it's in the toilet you wouldn't spit in the sink I've never really felt the need to spit nah neither but I try to like I try to you know

take on viewpoints from everybody's perspective sometimes you might need to spit right spit in the toilet.

I don't like seeing spit in the urinal either. That's a general yuck. Yeah. Toilet flushes it away. Urinal, that thing floats about. Who sits in a urinal? A monster. Monsters.

Well, some people put chewing gum in the urinal. They need to try that. And some people put like wiry pubes in there, but I think that's an accident. You know what? Sometimes I don't think so. Sometimes I think someone's like oh Jim

I'll just like pull out six and sprinkle these haphazardly like salt bay but with pubes. They're like Clark

just sprinkle them.
