Hello there and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to Spark, where you can get a new Nokia on a prepaid rollover pack starting from $19. Now, on with the podcast. ZDM. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Hello, good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thank you, Anya, for your news bulletin. That girl that was stabbed, who's in a critical condition,

that was like a few hundred metres outside my house. I know, I saw those stories. What were you doing last night? I didn't even know about it. Did you hear the sirens? Or you didn't hear sirens all the time? No, because I was out and I came home and I think the police had just kind of finished up

and gruesome scenes. Like they had all the area kind of like cordoned off. But yeah, I had friends messaging saying, oh, someone was stabbed like outside your house. I was like, I don't know. And in two days, your mum will ring and be like, was that near your house? Are you all right?

Like, mum, yeah, no. Obviously, thanks for calling immediately. Oh, mums just don't find out that sort of news too quickly. Horrible, horrible. Terrible, terrible stuff. News, yeah. On the brighter side of life, it's Black Friday today. Megan, I'm assuming has already, no, because we've been planning the show,

but I imagine any time now we're going to lose. Oh, tabs are open, excuse me. We're going to lose you to the world of online shopping and Black Friday. It's hard because Black Friday happens, but then also Cyber Monday happens. So I feel like Cyber Monday's like them getting rid of stock they didn't sell on Black Friday. It's dregs, it's leftovers, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, but it's all go today.

It's a great time to start your Christmas shopping if you haven't already. Because we'll stuff get here from America. You do have to check the shipping time. You've got to check the shipping. Here's a funny story. You know how we were talking about Secret Sanders yesterday and Anya and I

had to go to Plan B because our international postage from New Zealand to our international destinations was going to be expensive. I looked on the country where this person lives. I found something they wanted

from New Zealand. So I was like, I'll buy that. I clicked on it. I was like, that's not too badly priced. Add postage, $5,000'll buy that. I clicked on it. I was like, that's not too badly priced. Add postage, $5,000.

What? What are you on crack? New Zealand dollars. I was like, how's that even possible? I could go business class and win for $5,000. Is it being couriered

by a human? Like a human courier with a briefcase? I showed my wife, I said, how is this possible? And she's like, that's in that local currency as well. So it was more than $5,000 New Zealand dollars.

God, they add $5 shipping to my thing. And I'm like, no. I was honestly like, how? I looked to try to get in touch with the retailer. Yeah. And just want to know the breakdown just so I could just try to wrap my head around it. $5,000 for something that would be. That's a scam, right?

They were just wanting you to. Quarter of a size or half a size of a shoot box. They were just wanting you to not look at shipping and be like, done. $5,000. So you're safe to say that like, done. $5,000. So safe to say, like, total price, $5,005. Good to know that you're spending $5 on your Secret Santa. I was heavily discounted. Totally could have been one of those things where you've got a $10 limit,

but you buy something for like $3 on special, and they're like, wow, you spent above the limit. You're like, yeah. So safe to say, Secret Santa's not happening for you? Oh, can I just say I sent it and just not, like, yeah. So is it safe to say Secret Sadness Night happening for you? Oh, can I just say I sent it and just not like send something

and be like, you know what the post is like. Come on, Grinchy. Come on. No, it's just... If Fletch can do it, you can do it. It's not Grinchy,

it's just... Yeah, but he had someone in New Zealand who paid for his post. I haven't even sent mine yet. Do you? All right, you lot, listen up.

It's Storytime. Storytime, three news headlines, as always, for Vaughan and Megan. They pick one of the three headlines, and we delve into that story. Headline one today, wanton wantons. Wanton wantons? I'm always wanton wantons. Yum. Headline two, proposed law worries some.

And headline three, German teen lasts 49 minutes. 49. Those are the stories today. I think I've got to know the German teen. 49 minutes. That's, okay. Well, it could be a long time or it could be a short time, Megan. Depending on what it is.

Long time holding your breath, short time on an overseas experience. Oh, is it holding your breath? No. No, God no. That would be amazing. You'd be dead. Oh, what's the record? Is it 27 minutes? When I think about those free divers, that's holding your breath, isn't it? But somebody, remember, we talked about in fact today,

just laid face down in a bath. Well, like a big bath, like a paddling pool or something, and didn't move and they'd learnt to enter a sort of a hypnotic state and not breathe. Oh. And they did 27 minutes.

Right, okay. Okay. Well, it's not that. It's not that. We go now to Germany. Obviously, we're a German teenager. Was returning from a successful driving test. Okay.

He'd just got his licence. Oh, no. 49 minutes later. Yeah, 49 minutes later, police officers in the town of Hema. Hema? Hema. H-E-M-E-R. Hema.

Hema. Hema. They clocked him travelling almost twice the speed limit at 95 kilometres an hour in a 60k zone. He was excited. That's right. You're not on the Autobahn now, Hans. He lost his license, managing to last 49 minutes.

Oh, dear. He's been banned for four weeks. Only four weeks? Only get his license back after expensive retraining And also faces a 200 euro fine He's lucky But if you go double here Double the speed limit here

Instantly lose your licence don't you Yeah but isn't that for like a few months Yeah six months And like a whole lot of fines and everything right Demerit points Yeah four weeks is a weird amount of time That's like you've just been grounded by the law. Yeah.

So how fast was he going? 95 in a 60. Right. 95 in a 60, okay. Like when you go through the roadworks, that's the only time I'd ever be done for going like double the speed limit. Or, or go on.

Because nobody goes 30 when there's no one around late at night. Yeah, it's late at night and the road workers aren't even there because you've got to be careful when they're working on the road. Obviously. But if they're not there, you're like, wee. Well, the annoying part is when it says 30 and then they've just had to put a cable or something under the road

so there's literally just like a strip across the road. Yeah. My wife's always like, slow down, it says 30. And you're like, oh, we're through the road works. Just literally, I would just run over it. It was fine. The front wheels were off before the back wheels were on. Yeah.

I still slow down, but I'll be honest with you, I don't think I'd go 30. You mean 30 in a car? Christ, it's slow. Literally, I know it would be a very fast run, but it feels like you could get out and run faster. Lime scooters, we got up to 30 on those from Amber Downhill. That was scally.

That was scally. That was well scally. That was well scally. F.M. Wellingtonians love to recycle. Generalising, but sure. Huge, huge generalisation there. But it is their recycling bins that I want to talk about now

because recycling bins plus wind often equals lid opening and then empty milk bottles and light recycling, as most recycling would be light because it had something in it but it doesn't anymore. Even tins. I've seen a tin jump out of a recycling bin. Goodness. In an Augusta tin jump out of a recycling bin. Goodness. In a gusty westerly of West Auckland.

That's nothing compared to a gusty southerly, a blustery gustery in Wellington. It'll take a tin out. Well, for many years people have been putting little bricks on the lids. Ropes to hold down the lids. Well, there is a solution at hand. A wheelie

bin clip has been invented. I've got a photo of it in front of me. I don't know how it will work. It is very hard to describe. Does it go over the handle? Does it clip onto one of the handles and then loops under the... What does it loop under, though? That's my problem.

The rim. The rim. The green bit. Do you think it feeds back on itself? It must do because there's a loop, isn't there? Yeah. With a clip. Okay, but my problem here is now every time it's got to be easily unclipped.

I'm sure. I'm sure they've tested it. Because when they pull up in the truck and they tip it in, if it doesn't open, they're going to have to get out and then you've lost a lot of time. It looks too complicated. Like, why didn't they just make a simple clip? It looks easy.

What are you talking about? It'll just loop on. It'll come off easily. I would have thought the trick would have been something heavy in the lid so that kept the lid down. But then when you tipped it up in the truck, the same weight that kept it down would then swing it open. Because how does the truck get the clip off?

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. If it doesn't somehow easily undo itself, and there's no word in this article that I've read about it. No word. The article doesn't go into the working of the clip. We needed a demonstration. Yeah, I would really like a demonstration.

Well, by the way, it's going to save you rubbish going everywhere if you're in Wellington. If somebody is in Wellington and has been given one of 40,000 free wheelie bin clips. How do you get them if you don't already have one? I don't know. Is that people going to steal them? Seems like it should be an all or nothing DLA,

like everyone gets one or no one gets one. If you haven't got enough for everybody, no chewing gum in class. Is it going to keep the lid closed if the whole bin topples over in the wind? Great call. Because that's, yeah, I see what you're saying there. Like the wind's just going to hit the side of the bin and there's going to be no give so the whole bin could go over.

Surely that would have also been taken into account in this design. Yeah, well, they're going to start today. But then I don't want to, you know, point fingers and be that guy, but this was a council initiative and they have been known to make mistakes. You sound like an old mate moaning about the council. Oh, I'm about to say it, I'm about to say it, as a rate payer. So they're going to start delivering the clips today and it'll take up to six weeks to get everyone one.

Okay. There must be lots of them. Six weeks seems a long time, but yeah. Yeah, 40,000 of them apparently. Nice. Well, one guy probably knows how to put them on and he has to go riding on the rubbish truck, flipping them all on, but he can't do it. There's multiple rubbish trucks every week, you know. So over the next six weeks, he's going to be out

there clipping on the bins. I relate to this girl because this is something I would do slash have done. So she's a broke uni student and she was eating nothing but instant noodles. We've all been there. So she wasn't in her first year of halls of residence. Because you know when people go to halls of residence and it's just like mac and cheese. No, cheese. Lasagna.

Oh yeah, cheese and speech marks. Mac and cheese, lasagna. It's always pasta and carb heavy. And they come home and you're like, what happened? What happened to y'all? And they're like, carbohydrates and drinking. Not a great mix.

Because you get those massive packs of noodles, so you just eat noodles every day. And then if you don't have anything for dinner, it's noodles for dinner too. Those family packs of pasta were pretty legit as a student too. Those were good, real saucy. Just add some milk or water and you're away. It says serves four and you're like, um, don't judge me.

Oh yeah, I could eat two of those. My brain's doing a lot of work here at university. Yeah, so she was just eating instant noodles for three weeks to save money. She saved over $100 doing this. And it's because she wanted to spend money on Singles Day, which is China's version of Black Friday. Right. So she was saving money to go shopping.

So Singles Day is the world's single biggest day for retail. Is it? I think Amazon did, I want to say, $30 billion. It's insane. It's nuts. In one day? In one day. It set sales records this year.

Hold on, you keep talking. What does Singles Day mean? What does that name come from? You can let me know. Okay. And when it is. Alibaba. Alibaba was who had, sorry, it wasn't Amazon.

It was Alibaba. Singles Day set a sales record on the largest shopping event, $30.8 billion of sales in 24 hours. It's a holiday popular among young Chinese people that celebrate their pride in being single. November 11th. And it was chosen because of the number one. One, one, one, one, one.

We've missed it. We've missed Singles Day, yeah. Okay. We'll remember that for next year. That was 30 billion US, by the way. Started in 1993 at a university. Really? As a way to celebrate being single.

To say it's okay to be single. Right. So she was saving and she saved money. She did save quite a bit of money to spend on singles day. The trouble was her health deteriorated and she ended up in hospital because she'd just eaten noodles. She ended up spending all her savings on her medical bills to get better. Oh no. She spent over 200 bucks on just IV drips. And then the medicine cost her more.

So yeah, all her money is gone. Do they not have like state funded medical care? Oh, I don't know. In China, you know, I don't know. Did you find some stats while I was Googling? Yeah, I said $30.8 billion in one day. Oh, geez. Okay.

It topped 2017. It was $25.3 billion. Got off a strong start, hitting $1 billion in one minute and 25 seconds. Wow. That is crazy. Okay. Alibaba CEO is just like, yes, everybody stay single, yes. When is that?

November 11? Yeah. Is it 12 New Zealand time, November 12? It'll be 12, yeah. Okay. In China, though? No, not really. Oh, that? November 11? Yeah. Is it 12 New Zealand time? November 12? It'll be 12th, yeah. Okay. In China, though? No, not really. Oh, is it the same?

It'll only be like halfway through. Okay. Yeah, because they're only like this Beijing and that. Aren't they six or seven hours behind us? I want to say six. I don't know. I feel like because Thailand's six and I feel like it's straight up from there. Oh, no, that's time in Berlin.

I've had a real Googling. Berlin, Beijing, very similar places. Very similar places. It's 1.30am on Friday the 23rd. So they're five hours behind at the moment. Okay. Yeah, there you go. I'm just writing it in for next year.

The Top 6 with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Today's Top 6 are the six remedies for the small back seats of the new police cars. The current fleet are Commodore VF Commodores. But now they're doing a ZB Commodore. Like Newstalk ZB. Yeah. Yeah.

Newstalk ZB. It's a little bit different. The shape's changed. It looks slightly smaller, slightly curvier, and apparently it's resulted in a slightly smaller back seat. I did see some of these

in the city the other day and I thought, that's a weird looking, like, they look new and flash, but I'm like, it's a weird shape for a police car. It doesn't say to me

authority. It says to me, here's dad with his executive car. Exact dad's work car. Dad's police car. It doesn't say to me authority. It says to me, here's dad with his executive car. Exact dad's work car. Dad's work car. Dad, can we take your work car?

Absolutely not. It's my work car. They give that to me. They trust me with it. But yeah, I thought they'd gone for a Hyundai fleet when I first saw them

because it does look like a I45. People don't know Hyundai I45s. I don't know Hyundai I-45s. I don't know why you keep saying that. But a Hyundai, just a Hyundai dad's work car then. Yeah. You should just think it's dad's work car.

So 157 of them have been described as quite snug. And also headroom, a bit of a problem for the taller police officers, even in the front. Oh, really? Yeah. So I've got the top six solutions because we've bought them so we can't really

give them back. They've got the stickers on them. The top six remedies for the small back seats. Number six, a caged trailer from the servo. Brilliant. That'll work, eh?

Yeah, well, they're going to prison anyway. Or if it's raining, a furniture mover. Walls float. Are we worried about how wet criminals get? No, no. See, maybe it's a

cage trailer regardless of weather. Yeah. An eye-opening moment for a criminal. But I don't know if they hire them as they need them.

Because have you been hired one from a service station lately? Yeah, but you don't want to be rushing to the scene of a crime and then have to fill out the paperwork to

get a trailer. Yeah, no, it's all on the screen now. You tap it in and then you print out a receipt and they scan it and they give you the D-bolt and the wire cable and you go out there and away you go. But yeah, as you say, if you're on your way to a scene, you don't have time, maybe just buy a couple.

Number five on the list of the top six remedies for the small back seats of the new police cars is a bike rack that goes on the tow bar, except it's for criminals. So I'm imagining sort of a Jesus-y crucifixion sort of situation that screws onto the tow bar

nice and tight. Get them up there. Say, put your feet on here and then put your arms out and then... Yep. They go backwards. They go backwards.

No, you tie them on. Okay. Wish you may. Well, you could have a seat. Okay, we'll tie them on. A seat. A seat. They're a criminal.

Oh, yeah, true. They can stand. Again, it's weather dependent. Like if it's rainy and... Again, it doesn't matter if they get wet. Oh, yes. They get a cold and then that... Oh, then it's drone on the health system.

It goes all around the prison. Number four on the list of the top six remedies for the small back seats of the new police cars is just take the seats out entirely. Comfort is something reserved for those who haven't broken the law. Not that everyone who ends up back there has, you know, innocent until proven guilty.

But it's also pretty character building to just have your ass just like bang, bang, bang on the metal steel bit under the seat. Sure. Saw her under a seat once. Didn't look comfortable. No, it doesn't. Thank God for seats. Something we take for granted every day.

We do. Number three on the list of the top six remedies for the small back seats of the new police cars. Let the criminal sit in the front seat. Absolutely not. Only if they're called shotgun though. Like if there's two police officers and they walk into the car and the criminal's like shotgun, well that's rules, mate.

And you're in the back now. Yeah, you're in the back. You're in the back, constable plod. Get in there. Also, if the cop is shorter than the criminal, that's just fair. Tall people should always get the back. You're in the back, Constable Plod. Get in there. Also, if the cop is shorter than the criminal, that's just fair. Tall people should always get the front. No, they shouldn't. For knee room.

They should. You're always like, I'm tall or I need the front. Yeah. I also get car sick. Oh, again, rubbish. Number two on the list of the top six remedies for the small back seats in the new police cars. A roof box. A fuel.

How do you say that? Fuel. T-H-U-L-E. Fuel. Fuel. Fuel. Fuel. That rich people put their skis in.

Yeah. And their snowboards. Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, what's in there? Do you know how those, do not leave those on unless you're going to the snow. They just absolutely chew to the snow. They just absolutely chew through the gas. Oh, really?

They add so much drag to your car. Really? Yeah. It's crazy. I'll take my fuel off then. Fuel, fuel. I'm sure people that have a roof rack going to the ski field in their giant SUV don't care about how much fuel. No, but around town, it's just sensible.

I met someone called Thor, and I said, oh, your name's Thor, and he's like, it's Thor. Thor. So it might be Tuel. Well, why do we call Chris Hemsworth Thor? Westernised, I don't know. Okay. And the number one on today's top six,

the remedies for the small back seats in the new police cars, the boot. Chuck them in the boot. The answer was there all along. Well, where they keep the triangles and the flares and the shotguns. Well, get the shotgun out. Okay, what could go wrong? And the flare, but leave the triangle.

And what's the worst they can do with a triangle? You know, you're right. Get them in, put it on your head. Put it on the boot, and away you go to the cop shop. Nice too because you can't really hear them back there if they do a little mouthy and abusive. It's a slight tapping. Yeah. That is today's Top 6.

Now, great news for those that have been witnessing the Lime Scoot Revolution outside of Auckland and Christchurch. How would you be seeing it? Because I haven't seen it. No one's putting up grams or anything. They're not all on the news and all over the news and stuff. Well, the companies, and you may have heard that there were little kind of hints that they want to go to Tauranga earlier in the week. Well, the company's website have listed job openings for operations managers,

not only in Auckland and Christchurch, but also Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Dunedin and Queenstown. And there was also talk of Wanaka as well. Wanaka? Yeah. I don't know why I don't want them in Wanaka. Why not? You think it's going to sully the...

You know, Wanaka's like... When you go to Queenstown and Queenstown's the tourist, the bars, the non-stop party, but then Wanaka's it's just chilled out, mate. And sometimes you want to go to a chilled out, mate. Honestly, this week you've turned into such an old grub. I am awkward with it everywhere else, but it would just seem weird.

Lime Scooters in Wanaka, right? I'm in a great town for it. Only a couple of hills. Oh, it's so good. Yeah, no, it's perfect. weird. Lime scooters in Wanaka. I'm in a great town for it. Only a couple of hills. Oh, it's so good. Yeah, no, it's perfect. Mostly flat. Just the ground in Wanaka. Yeah, I don't know why I feel funny about that.

I'm all good for everywhere else. Right. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, I've got a taste for what it's like to be grumpy and not like things. I like it. So when are these jobs? What does an operations manager do?

I don't know. Managers the operations in the area. Pick them out of the harbour when they get chucked in. I really had to, because I've actually probably had a bit of addiction to them, to be honest. I see him some mornings, don't always scoot. You didn't do it this morning. I didn't know. But yesterday I saw him pulling up in his wee lime scoot.

I'd scoot all the time. If I lived where you lived and I worked here, I'd scoot everywhere. Oh, because I walk past them all freshly recharged in the morning, ready just to be driven. But you know, it costs a couple of bucks each time and I normally, I can walk for free, can't I? But they're so addictive. And there's no one on the roads at like 5am, so I'm just like. Just go straight out the middle of.

Yeah. I'm just all over the road. Like I. And basically, you're like on the New Zealand edition of Monopoly... Yeah, I'm just all over the road. And basically, on the New Zealand edition of Monopoly, Queen Street was the top dog, right? You're basically Lime Scooter-ing right down the middle of the blue square

and you don't have to pay a damn cent of rent. And there's hotels on that street. Just $2. Just $2 for my Lime Scooter. But it adds up. You do that $2.90 every morning, $2.50. You're doing what I do when I buy things. You're like rounding down a lot.

Remember? It's $3 something. And also your pricing, your cost to transport yourself to work is $2 a day. Most people pay like well over that If they have to drive their own car So even if they have to catch a bus or anything Yeah if you were to draw a pie graph Of how you spend your money The transport slither would still be very small

There'd definitely be way less than lollies Lollies The old nudes had a bit of a An issue This is the shop Nude Nude N-O-O-D The old nudes had a bit of an issue. This is the shop, nude. The nude. Nude. Yep.

Nude. N-O-O-D. Nude. Nude. Noodle. I've just realised that's not how you say noodle. Nude. So, okay, nude.

Noodle. Nude. Well, I've been living a lie. There's no debate on how to say this shop's name. Nude. Everyone knows it's nude. Everyone knows it's nude. How would you spell nude?

N-U-D. N-O-D. That's nod. That's name. Nude. Everyone knows it's nude. Everyone knows it's nude. How would you spell nude? N-U-D. N-O-D. That's nod. That's nod. Oh, yeah. Nude. Christ. Nude.

But then if you spell nude like the person was nude, that would be N-U. That's nude. Yeah. No, but that's phonetic spelling, N-O-O-D. Nude. Anyway, nude. Fletcher's tapping his imaginary watch. No but That's phonetic spelling N-O-O-D N-O-O-D Anyway N-O-O-D

Fletcher's tapping His imaginary watch He's like Move on N-O-O-D So They've had a problem On Wednesday night

Their summer sale Went online Yeah I'm guessing Someone Types it all in When does this go live? 12 o'clock tonight

Click I don't know how These things work But this is my imagination. Click. Done. See you guys. I'm fine. All right, mate.

See you tomorrow for another great date. Nude. Nude. It's nude while I work here. Me too. I agree to disagree. See you later. So at midnight, the sale went on and something went wrong with all the pricing.

Okay. So there was a dining table that should have been $1,500 for $24. Oh, heck. Is that still there? And they've got some great stuff. It's pretty ooh-la-la, that stuff. I like going to Nood. Cushions, artworks, funky chairs.

A funky chair. That's how I describe every chair in Nood. This is A funky chair. That's how I describe every chair in Newark. Funky. This is a funky chair. Any chair that's not a chair that would be around my parents' dining table, traditional wood back and legs with a cushioned butt and back. I say, now, that's a funky chair. Funky chair.

That's a funky chair. What's happened? Have people... Okay, so another thing that happened, that there was artworks that were $300. They went down to $5, but there was a coffee table that was normally $200 that was for sale for $4,000, and a bean bag went to $1,500. What? It's just all, there was a big old jumble, Magoos.

You would call it an absolute nude bugger up. You would, yeah. And people got on it. Yeah. And I guess just told people that they knew, hey, get in on here, there's been a glitch. This has happened before with airlines. I think even Air New Zealand have had this problem

where they've accidentally advertised a cheap sale. People have bought them. Yeah, and then they've got to honour it. Well, no, but sometimes they haven't. Because some of these airlines have said, nah, stuff you, we're cancelling it. Oh, they cancelled on them. Yeah, and then they've got to honour it. Well, no, but sometimes they haven't. Because some of these airlines have said, nah, stuff you, we're cancelling it. Oh, they cancelled on them. Because they were ridiculously cheap. Yeah.

Because I remember working at a petrol station, when I worked at a petrol station, when petrol was two figures, then the little one. Gather around children, grandfather would tell you about the time Petra was less than a dollar a liter.

You're talking shit, old man. This is like when you try to tell us it was nude. Respect me. And the boss was like, he wouldn't trust anybody else to change the pricing because whatever was on that had to be honoured, even if it was different at the pump.

Well, you know, same in a store. If the price is on there, that's what it is. You've got to honour it. How can you be like, oh, no, no, no, that wasn't what it was selling for. Like if they bought it for that price online. Well, it went through. It was done. Maybe they'll have to honour it.

Where was I? Where was you? Damn it. I know you do a lot of shopping. I'm surprised you haven't come across this mislabelling. It's upsetting, isn't it? I've come across mislabelling, but it's been like supermarket mislabelling. Yeah, I've had it.

Do you know this? For a while there, one of my local supermarkets had some really nice sausages. What kind? Like the deli, not like a pre-cooked. No, not a pre-cooked. So you took thoseancy flavours. Fancy AF sausages. Anyway, they always

have these chicken and bacon ones. What? Yeah. Chicken and bacon sausages. They have all these weird flavours. Right. Anyway, they were advertised as a certain price and I was like, once, I was like, you know what, I'm just going to splash it, I'm going to treat Marcy out for these fancy AF sausages.

And they were $3 less than the price. And I was like, oh, yeah. And then the next time I did it and the time after. So it was a glitch. It was a glitch. But they've caught up now. Have you ever? So I got some like two weeks ago and the price had gone up to the advertised price.

I was like, God damn it. That was months of getting away with it. You should have bought bulk at the time. No more fancy sausages for you, mate. It was like, God damn it. That was months of getting away with that. You should have bought bulk at the time and frozen them. No more fancy sausages to you, mate. It was a good run. A plain sauce now.

Oh, no. Plain old sauce. Back to the double cheese sizzlers. Yeah. Have you ever marched somebody from the checkout to check the price on the shelves?

Like, oh, no, no, no. That's not what was on the shelf. They're like, oh, no, the machine says it's $6. I'm like, come with me. Actually, no. You remember that time not what was on the shelf. They're like, oh, no, the machine says it's $6. I'm like, come with me. Actually, no, I can.

Do you remember that time I complained about the lemons? Because they'd advertised the lemons and they weren't the right price. And you marched them. It's quite fun marching when you know you're right. You're like, down here. They were like, no. And I was like, no, you come with me. I'm going to show you the sign.

He put his finger up like that. You come with me. No, I'll show you. Because it was like $2. It's sort of like a moderately aggressive, come here, follow me. I didn't really care about the $2. It was the principle of the thing because it had a giant sign. It was the same come here when your parents were going to blast you for something,

but they wanted you to be at the site of the crime when they blasted you. You, you, you, come here. What for? I said, come here. What were your trouble? I said, come here. We're in trouble. I said, come here. And then you're like, oh God, you're just wandering into the unknown. That's what it's like for the checkout staff to be marched to a

price mix-up. We'd love to know this morning on 0800DOLLS at ME, you can text 9696. When was there a mislabelling of price to your benefit? Maybe, yeah, maybe you got away with it. Maybe one of those nines blew off the end of the price of a car. You know how they just stick them on the windows as individual things?

I don't think that's going to happen. And you've got a nice car for $2,700. Instead of $27,000. $27,000. All right, 0800-DARLESS-AT-M-9-6-9-6. A nude, name pronunciation still fully up for debate. It's not up for debate96. A nude. Name, pronunciation, still fully up for debate. It's not up for debate.

It's nude. N-O-O-D. Next thing you'll be telling me, it's not Meat Tray 10. And I won't. It's Bunnings and Meat Tray 10. Bunnings, Meat Tray 10. They're European.

Get on board or get off. I'm always jazzing up my retailers Yeah me too To make them sound flasher Yeah Parkinsafe We want to know They've had a Parkinsafe

That's the It's from the islands Just get on board So they had a A mislabelling A whole big whoopsie dozie Online shopping Which started at midnight Wednesday.

Things were drastically reduced. Yeah, when you've had a label mix-up and you've gone to buy something and maybe it's gone in your favour. Yeah. And we talked about marching the checkout staff at supermarkets. Somebody said, as a checkout staff operator, we hate it when people march us. We have zero to do with some idiot who can't recognise the difference

between greats and grapefruit. If you do that to me again, I'll squash your bread. Good sass. I like it. Fair enough too. Shelley, when did you benefit from a label mix-up? Hi, we saw a baby monitor supposed to be advertised for $250

at a large electronic store. We went in to buy it and it scanned for $50. Wow, that's... The guy said, no, no, that's a mistake. There's no way we can honour that. It's definitely a glitch. It's only $200. It's definitely not that price.

Okay. So I said to him, that's fine. There's another one of these large electronic stores just down the road. We rang them up, and they said, oh, yeah, no, it's $50. So we went in there quickly without disclosing that we knew it was actually supposed to be $700 and snapped it up for $50. Wow.

That's like real-life community chest in your favour, eh? Yeah. Real-life community chest, but someone matches it and beats it by 15%. Exactly. Thanks for your call, Shelley. Erin, when did your labelling mix-up go in your favour? I was at the supermarket, and actually, I can beat your sausage story. We got one cent.

Well, it's not a sausage competition. It's not a sausage measuring competition here, Erin. We're not all flopping at our Savloys to see who's got the biggest balls. But carry on. We got sausages for one cent. So they just scanned and went through for one cent? Well, they were on the label as one cent, and we're like, oh, no, this can't be right.

We'll give it a go anyways. And the lady was like, oh, well, I've got to honour that because it's on the label. She doesn't care. Exactly, she doesn't care. It was supposed to be like $10 or something, and then we got the zeros. Nah, it's someone's last day. They're to, yeah. She doesn't care. Well, exactly, she doesn't care. That's someone's last... It's supposed to be like 10 bucks or something, and they forgot the zeros. Nah, it's someone's last day.

They're like, I'll show you. Big supermarket chain. One cent, one cent, one cent. One cent of sausage. Wow. Erin. Well, yeah, I wouldn't be complaining at one cent of sausage.

Nah. All right, thanks for your call, Erin. Matt, when did you get a label mix-up in your favour? Matt. Matt. Matt. Hello. Hi. Hi.

Hi. It's your time to shine, Matt. I don't know if we've got a phone delay here, Matt, but what happened? Okay, so I heard that a car yard on the North Shore had got a Honda Civic in that I wanted to buy for my wife. Okay. And they wanted $7,000 for it. Okay. So I had a quick check of the car in my lunchtime and said, yeah, I'll take it.

And they just had seven grand written on the car windscreen. Okay. And I said, I'll take it. I'll be back with the cash later. And anyway, he phoned me up about an hour later, the salesman, and said, I've made a real faux pas. We were going to stick it on the yard for $10,500. And I said, okay, what are we going to do about that?

And he said, well, because you said you're going to take it and you're coming back with cash, I'm obligated to sell it to you for $7,000. What was he hoping? You'd have a change of heart and give him an extra $3,500? Hell no. No. Wow. I was going to take that car. What a deal.

Yeah. You saved three and a half grand. Yes. Great deal. Fantastic. And that guy doesn't work anymore. One kept, one kept, lady owner, 25,000 cage. We don't want to buy it, mate.

You don't have to sell it on. Just let you push. How much do you want for it? Ten grand? I'll come back with seven. Thanks for your call, Matt. Some other text messages. We were checking out accommodation in LA

and saw a penthouse apartment advertised and it said $3,000 a night. But we clicked on it and down the bottom, it said $300 a night. Okay. So we clicked on it and went through and it was like, yes, $300 a night. We're like, two nights, $600.

We're like, okay, click. Oh, it all looks good. Charged it. Done. We got two nights in $600. We're like, okay, click. It all looks good. Charged it. Done. We got two nights in a flash as LA penthouse for $600. They never caught on. I'd be scared they'd be coming for me and be like, and the rest. You'd go to check out and they'd be like, and the rest? Yeah.

Be like, see ya! You'd just abandon your suitcase and your clothes at that stage, eh? Because they'd be cheaper to replace. Cancel your credit cards. Sort that all out. See you later. Yeah. Somebody said,

a store had forgot to remove a 50% off sign when displaying their new season items. 50% was for the last season, but it was in front of the new season. They honoured it, and we got extremely cheap, newly released furniture. Sweet. Wow. Furniture.

Okay. Someone said, this happened to me. I got some free rollerblades. It's a great story. I hope it happened in the 90s though because I probably wouldn't pay for rollerblades in 2018. I've seen some people rollerblading lately.

Go on. That's the end of my story. No, that's the end of my story. Yep, they were. Okay. My friends just bought roller skates. We're all going to go skating together. See, I don't know why.

Skates are cooler than blades. When the wheels are skinny and in line and become a bit of a joke. But like roller skates, I'd give the roller skates a blast. But not roller blades. What's wrong with that? I don't know. I reset myself. Maybe it's your, you've got the issue here.

Yeah, maybe I do. Somebody said read these words out loud. Mood. Hood. Food. Wood. Nood. Nood. Damn it, hood, food, wood, nude, nude. Damn it, they got me. Yeah, they got you. They got me. It's nude.

Debate is over. Well, like hood, it could be nude. The world's safest and riskiest nations have been released. This is also going to be good because it's an infographic and Megan doesn't know where countries are. So she'll be like, oh, one in the middle of Africa is a bit of a hot spot. We must be right up there on the safest list. Although in saying that, a young girl was stabbed outside,

up the road from my house yesterday. Yeah. Is it about trying to make yourself seem like ghetto and stuff? Having some sort of ghetto appeal? No, but if someone gets stabbed outside your house, it's pretty scary. That's pretty full on. Oh, it's horrible. She's still in critical condition.

Horrible. It's a horrible situation. I don't think anybody should be stabbed anywhere. No. New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the US do feature among the world's least dangerous countries. The US! You say that, but the US, like,

I mean, you've got a huge chance of getting caught up in gunfire somewhere. So that takes into account how bad the other places might be. So, and also huge, it's like by per capita. Right, okay. So there's obviously some really dangerous places in the US, but obviously some pretty safe places. So China and India aren't even going to feature on this list. Because when it's per capita stuff, China and India never feature

because there's so many people there. Get out of town. China is the same as us. Very low risk. Yeah. India. Oh, there it is. They are next up.

They're orange. So this is like, we're light yellow. Okay. Then they're orange. So it's a bit, they're like next level. You sure? Which one is India? No, India's one of the ones that actually has got their name on the country.

Oh, that's good. That's going to be very handy then. That's going to be very handy. So where should we be avoiding going on holiday? If we want a nice, relaxing, non-dangerous time away. So they consider these extreme. Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, South Sudan, and Somalia are the extreme. They're like dark red.

Right. Dark red. Don't go there. Don't go there. Okay. South Sudan is like pretty nuts. We knew some people. We talked to a guy. Remember when we went to Cambodia with World Vision?

Oh, yeah, that's right. One of the guys had been to South Sudan, and he said it was pretty crazy. Somebody just, he heard someone in their little tent, and he opened his eyes, and there was a guy with a gun in his face. They had to do hostage training to go there, right? Yeah, that's right. Crazy. Nuts.

Yeah. We've all been to a place that's very high, considered very high risk, Thailand. Well, I'm going there just after bloody Christmas. What's happened? You're going to the beach, though. It's where all the dangerous stuff happens. They'll be talking about, like, Bangkok and... It's even Bangkok's fine.

You might find a star luxury resort, but it'd not be dangerous. Mind you, those Mai Tais by the pool are pretty bloody dangerous. If you have a few too many of those. Am I right, ladies? Oh, my goodness me. I've just stood up for the first time in four Mai Tais and the pool are pretty bloody dangerous. If you have a few too many of those. Am I right, ladies? Oh, my goodness me. I've just stood up for the first time in four Mai Tais

and I'm a little bit giddy. I think the only danger coming to you is from yourself. I hope that attractive Spanish man doesn't take advantage of me. Help me. I don't know what's happening here. I'm lost. Feel free to help me out of this weird homoerotic daydream anytime you like. Thailand's up there.

Yeah. Disappointing. God, I knew we shouldn't have gone and seen my father-in-law. I've been batting for not going since day one. Now I've got another piece of ammunition to add to it. It's dangerous. We're taking the children. This is mad. You'll be fine, I'm sure.

Today is Black Friday. Tomorrow even more so because that's when it kicks off in the children. This is mad. You'll be fine, I'm sure. Today is Black Friday. Tomorrow even more so because that's when it kicks off in the States. And then there's Cyber Monday sales as well. Cyber Monday happens too. If you can wait that long, you might miss out on exactly what you want, but you might get a better deal. So it's a real juggle. But it's a good time for Christmas shopping.

Yeah, it is a great time. Just check your international shipping. There is something I want to talk about with Black Friday though. I've noticed this myself. So I've been like watching Little Couch. It's been on my radar

for I think like three months. Little Couch. So it's not really I've already got like a little seat and it's an extension of the couch. So you just like add on a little extra bit. Oh, like a chaise. Yeah. Chaise.

A what? Chaise. Is it in Ottoman? I've decided now when I don't know how to say things, I'm just going to say it in the four ways that I believe I can say it and one of them will hopefully be right. You can buy it in bits. So I wanted to add on the extra bit.

Right. Okay. And so I've been watching it and it's been like around $600. It's like, that's a lot of money. So I was like, I'll wait. I'll wait for sales. And I have seen at this particular place that they have got it on sale, but they've listed the original price as $1,500.

And so now it's on sale for $700, which is more. Wait, but you said it was $600 before. So I'm just saying watch out because sometimes they hike the original price to make the deal sound really good. Because what's that? That's still 50% off, right? Well, yeah, if you didn't know and you hadn't been watching it and you had

that much money to spend, you'd be like, oh, what a deal. Oh, that's a great deal. What a deal. But it's not. But prior to, it was cheaper. Prior to, it was cheaper and they've hiked the original price. On Reddit last night, in the subreddit New Zealand, it was cheaper. Prior to, it was cheaper and they're quite to the original price. On Reddit last night, in the subreddit New Zealand, somebody was calling out retailers because they've been watching, like you, for a while, they wanted to buy a 4K TV. Right.

And they said they've been monitoring them all for a while and thought this is going to be the time with the sales coming up. Two weeks ago, all the TVs that they were watching went up in price, kind of across the board at most retailers, went up in price kind of across the border most retailers went up like how much? I think hundreds?

yeah hundreds they went up a significant amount but now that the sales have started they're like 30% off but they put on

20% so technically it might be 10% off but like you say it's that number that gets people to rush out and go a little bit crazy. Because they're like, oh, it's 30% off.

And if you look at the original price, you're like, look how much I'm saving. Yeah. So, yeah, I would just say just be a little bit careful. Do your shopping around. We're on to you. We're on to you. Well, what about that? Put on the tinfoil hats.

Especially electronics quite often use that Price Spy website, which is really good. Does it have a graph? Oh, like a graph. A history graph. A graph? Graph. Does it have a history graph graph?

I don't know. That would show up. But it can show you the average price. And if the sale price is the same as the average price, then you're just not getting a deal. It's not a sale at all, is it? It's not a sale at all. So do your research.

Do your research. Unless you don't really care. I'm just, I can't believe that I'm having to defend the chocolate up people again after the Thins biscuit debate of 2015.

I feel like we really weighed in on that. The whole debate is when you eat a chocolate coated biscuit, covered top biscuit. It's chocolate one side, biscuit on the other side. Yeah. Do you eat it with the chocolate up or the chocolate down? Obviously, it's chocolate up. 100% chocolate up.

I thought we were at odds, but we're all saying chocolate up. Yeah, but not everybody agreed though. No, I thought one of us said chocolate up. I thought we were at odds, but we're all saying chocolate up. Yeah, but not everybody agreed, though. I thought one of us said chocolate down. Because to me, you ate it the same way you'd sit it on a plate. I feel like we'd say chocolate down. No. You'd eat it the same way. Didn't you say because then the chocolate would be on the tongue

and you'd get the full enjoyment of the chocolate? No, I don't think I ever would have said that. Because I'm always worried if you put the chocolate down on the plate, like it's going to melt or something. Yeah, yeah, you're not going to get all the chocolate. It's going to get stuck to the plate. Yeah. I can't ever remember.

And then you just eat it the same way. I doubt my previous former self would have been a chocolate down person. That seems ridiculous. Yeah, you can never say well. But I feel like one of us did argue that it was chocolate down. It wasn't you.

Was it any of the producers? No. When you eat a chocolate, like a chocolate thin, chocolate up or down? Down. Yeah. It's always been down for me. No, chocolate down. Yeah. This is a Christchurch thing.

Well, what way does it come in the packet? Yeah, because onions are Christchurch. No, James. They come down in the packet, right? No, they come sideways, they're stacked sideways. Wait, so I'm feeling the chocolate on my tongue. That would be eating chocolate down. Yeah, yeah, down.

No. How would you sound? No, it's definitely down. It's down. Chocolate down on your tongue. Yeah. What about when you put them on a plate to serve them to guests? Chocolate down?

You want them to see the chocolate. You give them digestive biscuits and then they'll give you some crummy biscuit. See, the chocolate thin, it kind of curves, the biscuit curves down to the chocolate, doesn't it? Yeah. So to me, the chocolate should be on the top. No, the chocolate, so how it's made is chocolate down. Yeah.

I don't agree that that's the way that they intended then to be eaten. But the biscuit, because it's easier to dip, it just runs through a shallow bath of chocolate and the chocolate settles on the bottom of the biscuit and then they flip it to dry it. Yeah. I'm purely just in case the chocolate melts. It's going to go all over the plate.

Yeah. Not in your mouth. And then I'm going to have to lick a plate. Yeah. Because there's no chocolate left behind. The biscuit they're arguing about in the UK is a round biscuit. It's a digestive. Digestive.

You can get them here, I think. Yeah, yeah, you can. You've got chocolate like Wheatons or Digestives. Yeah, chocolate Wheatons. Same kind of thing. Yeah. But again, I've always eaten those chocolate up. There's no argument.

Yeah. Now, normally when there's an argument, there is a TV show that deals with this. Yeah. Could it happen? Does it happen? We, a couple of years ago, had the guys from Mythbusters on the show.

And in fact, I think they were in just after the whole chocolate up and down biscuit debacle. You could still taste the chocolate on the top of your mouth from eating the biscuit the right way around when they came in. And we put a question to Mythbusters about this very thing. We'd like you to quickly bust the myth.

This is, I'm not willing to give up on this yet. We were debating heavily last week. These are called chocolate fins. These are one of New Zealand's most popular biscuits. Give it up, Warren. Give it up. Which way, that biscuit, which way is up? Which way is up?

The cracker part. The chocolate part is down. Yes, thank you Damn it I mean, that's what the biscuit manufacturers told me But I wasn't going to believe it Until the Mythbusters confirmed it This is how it's made, right?

They lay down the chocolate They pop the cookie on top And you've got to get the chocolate on your tongue So your chocolate tongue is how you think it is What do you think? Have one of these biscuits Alright, right It's never too early in the morning to have a biscuit

Jamie, what are your thoughts? Well, you can see by the artifacts of the way the chocolate is set that it was put down first on a surface because it's flattened out.

So that went down first. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the top. You. You're a flip-flopper. You said at the start of that that you were chocolate down. But now you're saying you're chocolate up. I'm chocolate up. You're a flip-flopper. You said at the start of that that you were chocolate down. But now you're saying you're chocolate up.

But I'm chocolate up. You're a flip-flopper. You buy biscuits. I don't even remember saying that. How bad is it? But I always eat chocolate up. You've been living a lie. Who are you?

I don't even know anymore. Who even are you? I don't even know anymore. I can't believe we're friends. You can go sit out with the producers. I just love chocolate biscuits. I don't care know anymore. I can't believe we're friends. You can go sit out with the producers. I just love chocolate biscuits. I don't care which way it is. I'll just put it in my mouth.

Eat it sideways. Put it in sideways and just go down. But then there'll be the argument of what way is the chocolate facing, cheek or tongue. Friday Flashback. Flashback, Flashback.

Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback

Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback Flashback at times in that ad break we're desperately trying to find like a good because there's a lot of pressure everyone gives their feedback and Fletch made me do this one I'm going to say because you were like it was a banger

and now that I've looked at the charts it wasn't a banger it was a clanger I only made it to seven in New Zealand and that was the best Megan if you're not

preparing for your Friday flashback like Vaughn and I do with days and days of preparation and chart research can you turn on Anya's mic please that means you're Like Vaughn and I do with days and days of preparation and chart research.

Can you turn on Anya's mic, please? That means you're telling a big old poor thing. That's who we go to when we need a good fart noise. No, you're full of it. You doubt yourself more than any of us. Well, you, you, it's on you. You made me do this one. So it's from 2008.

It's a dance song. Okay. Okay, you'll know it, and I hope that you like it. American DJ. Okay. It's not him singing. He's got a singer on the track. What else can I tell you about it?

Did it win any awards? Did it do well on the charts? I mean, it got gold in New Zealand, which is only 7,000 copies. Got to number seven. In the charts? There you go. It's all right.

That's top ten. That's better than some of the other rubbish you've played, Megan. You've got a bad track record. In fact, we should do a tally board next year. A banger versus clanger. You'd be low down there. She's a rock. I'm just letting you talk some absolute shit, Carl Fletcher.

But hey, if this goes badly, Carl made me do it. It's a free world. I didn't make you do anything. Yes, you did. It's my Friday flashback. Megan's Friday flashback. Ian Carey project, Get Shaky. Sit in. Baby, get shaky after school Oh, there you go Baby, go crazy, break the rules

Oh, there you go Baby, get shaky after school Baby, go crazy, Morning Megan. It's Megan's Friday flashback. Ian Carey project, Get Shaky. Do you see Luce from The Office just came in to be like absolute banger? Specifically, tell me. Thank you, babes.

It was a good trip. Feedback. If it's good, I chose it. Brilliant. I chose that one. I was trying to do some gentle yoga. Now dancing while doing the forward bend. Oh, okay.

Somebody said, heck, this is 10 years old. That makes me feel old. I know, right? So good song, but Megan, I don't like it because you made them feel old. B-A-N-G-G-E-R. Banger. That's a banger. Banger.

I told you, didn't I? Absolute banger. My girlfriend is 28. She says it's a banger. I'm 25. I've never heard the song before in my life. She says it's a banger. I'm 25. I've never heard this song before in my life. Oh, that's on you. That's because you would have been what? No, but even 15, where were you? Yeah. Do you have a radio? It's played

every 10 minutes. Greatest track ever. You got this, Megan. No, you had lots of people. Yeah. Someone said this is a Disco Lollipops clanger. But then I thought it was going to lead them with a banger. Banger. There's a few people saying it's not a banger. But then that happens every week. You can play the banger, at least the bangers.

Oh, and someone's not going to find the banger. Someone's like, I don't like it. Clanger. Yeah. Good. Okay, well, that's good. I would like to talk now about things you have to explain to your partner. So in case you don't know, my husband and I,

there's a 10 year age gap. I'm older, but we don't really, day to day, don't notice it. Like we have a lot in common. What happened the other day? Didn't you get,

you got told you looked real young. Yeah, he wasn't even there. Cause you always say it's only cause he's with me. It was at the supermarket it is. I said, something about my husband and they were like, I didn't realise you were even old enough to have a husband.

I thought you were a teenager. I was like, oh. That's obviously, they don't see. Can I get that in writing? Do these people see people? What do you mean? Like, outside of you? Yeah, what industry do they primarily deal with?

Are they in aged care? People who have lived? Like, drug addicts and stuff? It was in West Auckland. There you go. really deal with. Now it's closer. Are they in aged care? People who have lived, like, drug addicts and stuff. It wasn't West Auckland. There you go. It's a quickly ageing area. Still though, take the compliment.

I absolutely did. I'm just jealous that I haven't received a compliment. So yeah, there's 10 years difference. And often I say things and I have to explain

them to him. Like what it was like living in the war. Yeah, he's always like, tell me what dinosaur was the scariest? Ha, classic. You guys are older than me, so whatever. But I said

this saying, it's kind of like a, I'll tell you what it was, and I expected to explain it. I expected to have to explain it to him. So we were talking about something. It was actually not very nice. We were talking about a person who appears at lots of things.

Okay. Lots of events. And I said, they'll go to the opening of an envelope. Great saying. That's a great saying. I think it's one of my dad's favourites, actually. Oh, really? When he's reading that sign-up paper, he's like,

I don't even know who this is, but they're reading this every week. They go to the bloody opening of an envelope. And I didn't have to explain it, but he was like, he just cracked up and he was like, that was really clever. That's such a good saying. Did he think you made it up? He thought I made it up. And what, you let him believe you made it up?

100%. 100%. How has he never heard that before in his life? I don't know. But something yesterday, again, something he'd never heard of before. We were talking about Woodstock. So I've never been. Obviously, that's in the 70s, right?

69. Is that when it last? When was it last? Oh, sure, sure. The big famous Woodstock was 69. But they've tried to do it a couple of times since, but it last? Oh, sure, sure. The big famous was 16. I mean, they've tried to do it a couple of times since, but it's not really. Original Coachella.

You know what it is though. It's a festival, like the original Festy Woodstock. And he's like, what's Woodstock? And I was like, oh, you know, the festival. He's like, I've never heard of Woodstock before in my life. He's 24. He's never, ever heard of Woodstock before. That's on He's 24. He's never, ever heard of Woodstock before. That's on him though. That's like

a cultural, yeah, no, that's not an age thing. There'd be 24 year olds very well familiar with Woodstock. Yeah. Or knowing what it was. So yeah, I spent yesterday trying to explain Woodstock and how famous it is. This happens often.

Yeah. and movies that everyone would be well versed in, but they are like, you know, 20, 25 years old. Right. Often it's not aware of at all, never heard of. Yeah, so I'd like to know, maybe you can make me feel a little bit better. What did you have to explain to your partner? Something that's like, I don't know,

you feel like everyone should know. Right, okay. Fletch? Has this ever happened to you? No. He doesn't talk to them. Gets them in. This isn't about me. Does the business. Ships them out. He's FedEx, mate. He's not here to muck

around. He's got a job to do. He's not hanging around for pleasantries. Get it done. Get it done. it done See you later I've got a couple of questions No No No

What about you? Because do you ever have to explain anything to Sade? Because you're full of all kinds of Oh shit I don't know Lots of stuff But she doesn't listen Stories

Yeah okay Did you say western stories? No Like wisdom and stories Wisdom and stories And yarns Yeah She just

What doesn't listen in the end. Yeah, no, she's sick of listening. Somebody said they're 24 and they've got no idea what Woodstock is. They've never heard it until we literally just said it now. And somebody else said, isn't your partner a musician? That's even more that he should know about Woodstock. Thank you. I'm not arguing with you at all.

He should. Somebody said, I'm in a car full of 24-year-olds, and when you said Woodstock, we all looked at each other like, do you guys know what that is? I mean, I know it's old shit. It happened well before I was born, but I know about things that happened before I was born. Yeah, me too.

I've never been to it. I wasn't around for World War I and II, but I've... I know what they are. I know what caused them. It's always referred to in movies as well, right? 100%. It's a pop culture leverage point. Is that what they were doing in

Forrest Gump? I will not be made to feel old because I know what Woodstock is. I will not stand by and let people think I'm old because I know what Woodstock is. Anya, intern millennial, nano millennial. Youngest one on the show. Youngest person here old because I know what Woodstock is. Anya, intern millennial, nana millennial. Youngest one on the show. Youngest person here.

Do you know what Woodstock is? Yeah, I couldn't tell you where it was or anything about it, but I definitely heard it. It was at Woodstock. Where's Woodstock? In America. In America.

That's all I know, too. It's big festy. No, I just heard the name, but I don't know where it is. It was a one-off Coachella, and the reason people don't know about it is nobody had phones to take photos of themselves.

Oh, wait, so it's not still a thing? No. The one-off Coachella. And the reason people don't know about it is nobody had phones to take photos of themselves. Oh, wait, so it's not still a thing? No. No, didn't they do an anniversary like in the 99 or something? Yeah, 99, and it just turned to riots and went downhill real quick because everyone's like, oh, I heard about this. My granddad came and he said we smoked weed and there was boobies. And then they get there and they're just like, smash, smash, smash. Yeah, well, I would have been three, so I didn't go to that.

Didn't hear about it at the time. Mum didn't tell me. Didn't get dragged along to Woodstock as a kid. All right, well, what do you have to explain to your partner? Maybe, do you think it's just an age gap thing? Maybe not. Or it's just you were brought up differently. Differently, and you know about something

that I've never even heard of before. Fletch, Vaughn, and Megan. The podcast. I'm talking about the things that you have to explain to your partner. Maybe there's an age gap or maybe they grew up in a different part of the world. Or maybe they're just dumb. That's a very real possibility. Like the person who just messaged in saying they had to break it to their partner that

there were no saber-toothed tigers at the zoo. Why not? Well, there's ordinary tigers there were no saber-toothed tigers at the zoo. Why not? Well, there's ordinary tigers who are the saber-toothed ones. Like, come on. I can't laugh at that. Why? Because you don't know why you're laughing?

Because I only discovered flamingos in a room when I got to the zoo. So what about, what would stop a saber-toothed tiger being in the zoo? They live in the Arctic. Don't they live in the icy parts of the world? Yeah, in the real cold bits, Megan. What is a saber-toothed? I'm done.

I'm starting to have a flop around on the floor like a fish. Are you just Googling saber-toothed tiger? Yeah, they're real. We'll come back to Megan soon. What do you mean? Yes. Keep reading. Should we wait or should we go on?

Oh, no. Okay, I don't mind. Extinct. There you go. You got it. That's why they're not in the zoo. Prehistoric. Yeah, like dinosaurs.

But not that far back. All right. All right. Some other text. Woodstock. Come on. She's got Woodstock Some other text. Woodstock. Come on. She's got Woodstock. She's got Woodstock.

Somebody said, my husband's from a small town in Tennessee. I have to explain everything that happened in the world that wasn't in Tennessee that ever happened whenever he asks. That's kind of cute though. Yeah, it is. He's like, honey, what's this hair machine? It's a microwave. And what does it do?

Hates food. What kind of food? Any food. Amazing. Who are we going to on the phone? Kate. No, no. No?

Gone. All right. A couple more text messages. Some other text messages in. Someone said, there's only a five year age gap between me and my partner, but I just learnt what the United States of America stands for. United

States of America? That there's states of America and they're united. Yeah. Right. I don't know why, I just thought it was a thing you said. I never really thought about it. My partner explained it to him, I was like, ah, amazing. Somebody else said I recently explained Woodstock to my partner. And she was just like, that's crazy.

When did this happen? 1969. How do you know about that? You weren't born then. And they said they pretty much had the same conversation that we had just before, that it's okay to know about things that happened before you were born. Someone said, I'm constantly explaining modern pop culture references or just cultural references to my partner.

She's 10 years older than me. And then I hear her using them in the incorrect way. I'm like, okay, we're just going to need to wind that up. Somebody else said they had a massive argument with their partner because they didn't know who Charlie Brown was. You know Charlie Brown the cartoon? Yeah. And they explained it to her.

Yeah. And she said, so what do the kids do? And they're like, not much. And they're like, well, why would you watch it? And then does the dog talk? No, the dog doesn't talk. Well, how does the dog get its point across? It was just this massive across over Charlie Brown?

Gosh, I would love to hear that argument. That sounds like a fun argument. Kate, who did you have to explain to? So my co-workers, we went to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie one night, and we came to work the next day, and we're talking about it over lunch, and one of the girls there, who's probably about 22, 23, started asking who we were talking about, who, what, what's Live Aid?

And I said, well, you know, Live Aid, it's one of the biggest concerts ever to go on in the entire world and she just had no clue. But did she know who Freddie Mercury and Queen were? She had heard, she said she heard of Queen, but she didn't know who Freddie Mercury by name was. Oh, my God. We've had people text message in that that movie's caused a rift in their relationship

because they went to see it and they were like, oh, it was a great story. And they were like, you know that happened. And they were like, you're out, you're kidding me. Yeah, had no idea of it. And I'm only 33, so it's beyond my age. Yeah, wow. Okay, all right. Thanks, you're cool, Kate.

Someone recently at work said party on Wayne to a guy called Wayne. And the guy called Wayne was like, what are you talking about? And he's like, Wayne's World? He's like, never heard of it. And he was like right in the demo where Wayne's World would have been massive. So he needed to sit down and explain Wayne's World to him. Someone said, I'm 30. I only know about Woodstock because it was on an episode of The Simpsons.

But that is a good thing about The Simpsons. Yeah, that's the thing, and it's pop culture, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Like, none of us were alive when it was on, but, you know, you know about it, don't you? The Simpsons will teach you a lot. Simon, what did you have to explain to your partner? She was convinced that buffalo wings

were the tiny vestigial wings trimmed from real buffaloes. Hence why they were so small and withered. Yeah, and why buffaloes can't fly with them, because obviously they're too small to lift a buffalo. You've never seen a buffalo with wings. How did that go down, Simon, that argument? Blew her mind. Yeah. That's confusing.

Then we had a discussion about buffalo sauce and how it wasn't made from buffaloes. No, it was made in Buffalo. Made famous in Buffalo, New York. I didn't know that. Exactly. Why do they call it that? Is that the only example you've got? Because I feel like you might have a few.

No, she was the same person that said, why are there no saber-toothed tigers at our zoo? Yeah. Maybe we should meet. You should hang out with Megan and Toyboy. Christ, you'd be really leading the charge there. I think you'd be lifting more than your weight. All right, thanks for your call, Simon.

Ah, so there you go. That's all I had there. I went from smart to dumb real quick in that whole conversation. Yeah, I know. You were ha-ha Woodstock, but I tell you what, I can't wait to see a sober tooth tiger in the Arctic Zoo. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about blimps.

Blimps. I don't feel they get enough. They get enough time. Do they still do blimps though? Aren't they too dangerous? No, in America they've got blimps. The Goodyear blimp. Yeah, the Goodyear blimp flies over football games and stuff, right?

Over sports stadiums and gives a different view. They're part of the lighter than air vehicles. And there's a whole bunch of them. Different ones like the Hinderburg. That was a big one. That was an airship. Yeah, but that was full of hydrogen and helium. No, that's really explosive.

So that's why that didn't end well. That didn't go well, no, when that little situation happened. But today's fact, today's specific fact about blimps is that a blimp uses less fuel in two weeks than a 747 aeroplane does to taxi to the runway. What? Yeah. Because it's full of helium, so that gives it its float.

And then the little thing that pushes it is just like. Yeah, but good luck getting to Europe on a blimp. Oh, you know, it'd take ages. Like if the wind picked up too much, you'd be like, see you later. The blimp was a bad idea. And away they go. They're not quick. They're not quick.

The average cruising speed and zero wind is 35 miles an hour, which is about 50 k's an hour. What's the difference between a hot air balloon and a blimp? Just the shape. Hot air balloons aren't propelled in a certain direction. And hot air balloons are kept up in the air by hot air, whereas blimps are literally like inflated with an inert gas helium something that's lighter than air and then they

have a propeller right yeah so they propel forward so they go up and then propel along like a jetson's car yeah well no no they's more of a... Okay. Okay. Showing off with your lips. I do have very agile lips for noise making. Very little use in any other aspect. Yeah.

Apart from this. And this. Okay. It sounds like I'm underwater, but I'm not. I'm not underwater, but I'm right here. Okay. So, yeah, today's fact of the day is a blimp uses less fuel in two weeks running solid than it takes a 747 airplane to just taxi to the runway. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Now, a C-section or a caesarean section is a type of birthing option named after Caesar salads.

I was about to say, what's it named after? Oh, you're going to tell me. Because afterwards you should always eat croutons, lots of mayonnaise, and an egg on top. You go out via the sunroof. Yeah, you go through the sunroof. Yeah. So you came out caesarean, right? I was a C-section. And an egg on top. You go out via the sunroof. Yeah, you go through the sunroof. Mum's sunroof. Yeah. Yeah. So you came out caesarean, right?

I was a C-section. I was like, I'm not going out there. And it's more like, shan't be going out there. Put my feet up on the sides. I was like, nah, not happening. Oof. So over the past two decades, the number of caesarean sections have doubled. Right.

Really? Yeah, doubled. Because we're the old school, eh, Megan? Yeah. It was a pleasure to give birth to my mum. I've all three. Yes, you're 100% making that up. I've always had a way with the I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud. Thank God.

I wanted to say it out loud just to see the look on your faces, but as I was about to say the V word, I chickened out. You don't know. You know, my mum might be listening. She could be. And it's her situation that we're discussing. So apparently babies born by elective C-sections are more likely to be overweight when they turn one.

Oh, God. What if it was an emergency C-section? Good question. It does say elective caesarean. So does this mean later in life you're also going to be chubs as well? Well, if you're chubs. Or just at one. Isn't it if you're chubs when you're young, you're more likely to be chubs?

But not just one because I think everybody's chubby when they're one. You want a chubby bubby. A chubby bubby. You don't want to see a skinny baby when they're one. That's sad. Baby way. You want to see a ch baby when they're one. That's sad. Baby way. You want to see a chubby little baby. Right.

Yeah. So apparently emergency, it says that emergency caesareans, which are performed for whatever reason, versus elective, elective more so. Right. So you were emergency, right? I don't know. I just came out the sunroof.

I'm unsure. But I was a super cute baby. I just came out the sunroof. I'm unsure. But I was a super cute baby. I don't think they had electives when you were born. Right. Yeah, I don't know the details. Because you couldn't come out. I think looking back at photos of when I was a baby, I might have been a bit chubs, but I was super cute.

Like I had blonde hair and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And then it all obviously went downhill rapidly, didn't it? So they analysed 727 babies and their mothers. A third of those babies were born via caesarean. And of those, a third were elective caesarean. And when they did all the body mass index and everything

against babies born, yeah, the old-fashioned way, they were significantly higher. Well, maybe that's what I can blame it on. Just my love of chocolate and bit chubs. Chuck it in. People are like, ooh, Fletcher's blown out. Because I won't say it to you, they'll probably say it to us. And I'll say, excuse me, he was a caesarean baby, okay?

He's got an excuse. Just give him a bit of leeway we look bloody stupid we all look a bit stupid in these togas today and in cea you guys look really cute. So for those who have just joined us, we are going to take some mock questions today for classical studies. Do you know I've never been to a toga party? Me either. Wow, looking at you.

Right. It's not because it just doesn't suit you? No, but that's why it's not my vibe. Right. I'm sorry about the sheets, guys. They've been in the wardrobe for a while. Yes. They smell so musty

remember I am a teacher and I don't get paid much so yeah that's true you've done what you can I did what I could it's not very flattering the toga is it

it can be Megan you look good thanks I need a belt or something also I don't think mine's a duvet cover it's a duvet cover not a sheet

mine's a duvet I climbed in it before I like the leaves in your hair you can't tell anyone out and the office that I stole them from that plant. Oh they're real! Yeah! Today at NCEA we are doing level 3 classical studies. What is classical studies again?

I don't know, like gods and stuff. Just ancient studies. Ancient Greece, ancient Rome. I don't know, Jenny in the office helped me if they should they had orgies oh yeah it's all based on the art yeah but a bit of interest and the battles the great battles okay russell crowe gladiators art parties high society the birth of democracy pottery with like vases with lots of penises on them. I should have actually done classical studies.

Okay. Because you get a lot of vases. Question. Who was the god of the sea? Me! I pressed the buzzer and I forgot to buzz in. Who? Who for? The Romans or the Greeks? I don't know. Just the one. Neptune and Poseidon. They're the same person

but one called them Neptune and one called them Poseidon. Poseidon was what I had written down, but yes, correct. Damn it! Thank you. Okay. Poseidon was the Greek. Neptune was the Roman, I believe. Okay.

Now remember to use your name as your buzzer. Oh, yeah, I went in. Oh, so you didn't say... Okay. No, I got it. That doesn't count. Megan, stop giggling. No, I'm just checking if Neptune is the Roman.

No, he's Greek. Did you say he was Greek? No, I said Poseidon was Greek. Yeah, you got it wrong. Ha ha. Okay. It wasn't the question. Question number two.

Why was the Trojan War started? Born over Helen of Troy. And it wasn't the Trojan War. The Trojan horse was the end of it. It was the Battle of Troy. And it wasn't the Trojan War. The Trojan Horse was the end of it. It was the Battle of Troy. Yeah, that's right. It's Friday, guys. Jessica, I don't feel like the student should be telling you how to rework your answer, your questions.

I've just given up. Helen of Troy, though, is so beautiful, though. She could set a thousand ships to sea. And she did because they went to fight for it. Who was she the wife of? Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. No, Brad Pitt came in to fight for it. Who was she the wife of? Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. No, Brad Pitt came in

to do the fighting. Oh, okay. It was Eric Banner that she went with. No, it was Orlando Bloom she fell in love with. Now, none of this would have happened

if Helen had a Norton antivirus. The Trojan would never have gotten in. Can I have a point for that? You can have a point for that. For that funny internet joke? Yeah.

Okay, thanks. Okay, question number three. What are the names of the legendary founders of Rome? Now, hang on, because I'm going to give you some options. No, Vaughn, I want options. Romulus and Remus. Yeah. Remus.
