Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast. Thanks to Spark. Get more of what you love on the $29 prepaid rollover pack. And now, on with the show. Zid-Ems. Zid-Ems. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thanks, Hanya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Flying cars.

Finally. Yeah, I don't know if we need flying cars. So you don't drive it, eh? It drives itself? Self-driving. I'm still a big fan of those tubes, like off the start of Futurama, where you jump in the tube and you put them where you want to go. Like a pneumatic tube. Like a pneumatic tube.

Pneumatic tube. A pneumatic tube. Isn't that what Elon Musk is building, though? The Hyperloop. The Hyperloop. That's kind of like that, eh? Kind of, kind of. Is he concentrating, though? I feel like he's getting distracted. like that. Kind of. Is he concentrating though?

I feel like he's getting distracted. Ever since he smoked weed with Joe Rogan it's been a pretty loose ship. Worried about him. The old Elon Musk. Ship of the future. And then how do they know where to fly and stuff? And how do you stop?

In what? In the pneumatic tube. In the flying car. Oh, in the flying car. Oh. Oh, in the flying car? You just plug in a destination and it'll go. I mean, I've already got put-ins with people at the airport with their drones. What if I'm going to the airport? I did.

It'd be pre-programmed you couldn't fly through the airport. Oh, okay. I don't think. What? Someone will cut through the airfield to park my car before I fly out to Australia, crash into a 737. Nudging into somebody on the motorway is one thing, but nudging into someone when you're 30 metres up

and then plummeting to the ground is another, isn't it? Yeah. It's less of a sort of an insurance call and more of a call to the undertaker in a funeral home. Yeah. Mind you, we're overpopulated, so, you know, maybe we do need to get a bit more dangerous. We're living very safely as a species.

Live dangerously again. Yeah. Like, I've just stopped vaccinations. That's a sort of fast and loose game. I mean, not with my children because I love them, but I'm encouraging everybody else's children to not get vaccinated. Don't even joke about it. It's people who believe that.

It's Vaccination Awareness Month and there was some like billboard put up somewhere saying if you knew what was in the vaccinations, would you risk it? Yesterday? Who put that billboard up? Oh, the anti-vaxxers. Okay.

Yeah, but I mean, they'll be dead soon anyways. Of some totally preventable disease From the 1800s That's life though Alright you lot Listen up it's story time Alright three stories Three news headlines

You've just got to pick one. Headline one, 106-year-old secret to a long life. Headline two, 1998, quote, I'm not going to blow the money. And headline three, cable-tying preschool teacher in trouble. So preschool teacher's cable-tyed somebody. Okay. Interesting. school teacher in trouble. Cable tied. So a preschool teacher's cable tied somebody. Okay. Interesting. Interesting choice of restraint technique.

I would have thought like a ribbon or something would have done for a child. Oh yeah, like a scarf. Yeah, just a knot. As hard and as plasticky as a cable tie. What was the first one again?

A 106-year-old secret to a long life. It'll be something that you don't expect. What have we had recently? Lollies. Booze. Yep. Siggies. Are you not going with this story?

Nah. Cheetos. Cheetos. Good business. But then how long have Cheetos been around for? Dunno. Not their entirety of their life. They probably started knocking into them in their 50s.

But every day, every day Cheetos. Every day Cheetos. Man, how good would it be just being able to eat chips every day? And not care? Yeah. Yeah. I think you get to that age, you just don't stop caring, don't you? And are they eating a whole bag? or are they one of those old people

that's got a container full and they have a few a day? Yeah, it's like a sack full. I don't know how people do that. A Tupperware container. Well, both of my grandmothers could do that. They had the willpower. They'd just open it up, have a couple, shut it again. Or is that a lolly container?

Who's got time for a lolly container? Eat all your lollies. Yeah, nah. Nah. Okay, so what? You want the cable tying pre... Story two. Okay, story two.

I'm not going to blow the money. Quote, from 1998. Jim Hayes won the jackpot of a lifetime in 1998. $19 million. So that's 20 years ago. 20 years ago. So that's almost a million dollars a year for the last 20 years. Yeah.

But, unfortunately, his life went south. 20 years ago. So that's almost a million dollars a year for the last 20 years. Yeah. But unfortunately, his life went south. Oh, no. And he turned to a life of crime after he spent big on Lamborghinis, Vegas gambling trips. He is now in prison. At 55. $20 million. What are you hoping for from a trip to Vegas?

$20 million more? I don't understand that either. What do you want? Another million? Yeah, if I went to Vegas as a $19 million, it'd be to have a blowout. It wouldn't be to gamble. Yeah.

It'd be to party. But then, see, you're not a gambler, but if you were a gambler and then you won $19 million. Well, I was a gambler, but then on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with a gambler, but if you were a gambler and then you won $19 million Well I was a gambler, but then on a train bound for nowhere I met up with a gambler Right, we're both too tired to sleep What happened next?

Well he handed him a bottle and he drank down by the swallow and when boredom overtook us, he began to speak, he said son made my life. Out of reading people's faces. Knowing what to throw away.

I actually didn't know all these words, Pete. How do you know these words? For a taste of your whiskey. Oh, something, something, something. I think the main. You got to know nowhere to hold up. Nowhere to fall down. Nowhere to walk away.

Nowhere to run. You never can. Okay, yeah. So that's the hardest thing because whenever I'm doing any card game. Yep. And I'm, you know, you've got trips or whatever. And it's like you don't count your money when you sit at the table. I'm always like you've got chips or whatever and it's like you don't count your money

when you sit at the table I'm always like one, two damn it I'm doing exactly what the gambler told everybody not to do well

unfortunately for him he robbed a bank and he was caught unfortunately for him like it was an accident unfortunately for him he robbed a bank

got a flat tyre. All robbed a bank. Both unfortunate things to have happen. And only got away as well with $3,300 from this bank. Who's robbing banks anymore? I know. Especially when you've got millions of dollars. Yeah.

Well, he does it now. He was broke, wasn't he? Is that why he robbed it? He blew it all. Because he did not know when to hold him or when to fold him. He went from $19 million to broke and now in jail after a robbery spree. Wow, he's experienced so many things. I know, he'd probably write a book or, you know, make a TV movie or a movie out of his life. Sell the rights maybe, but yeah, in prison.

So, sad story really. Just got to know when to... Hold them. Don't you? When to fold them. No, don't. Know when to walk away. No.

And know when to run. Okay. You never count your money. When you're sitting at the table, you're never counting, never counting. Okay. When the dealing's done. You remember a while ago

where we talked about summer penises? What? I can refresh your memory if you've forgotten. We talked about what? Summer penises. There's a female version. Does anyone else remember this?

Remember, it got, like, because it's warm and some people said that when it's warmer it gets bigger. No, no, no. She's right. It was during the British heat wave.

Yes. Are you sure? Reported summer penis, yes. And guys were reporting that it was bigger. Yeah. Because, no, no. She's right. It was during the British heat wave. Yes. Are you sure? Reported summer penis. Yes. And guys were reporting there was bigger. Yeah.

Because of the overall, because they're not used to the whomps, especially like in Scotland and stuff. They were like, ah, what's that?

It's getting bigger. It's my penis. Well, there's a seasonal situation for females I want to talk about next. Right. FM.

There's seasonal changes that happen to your bits and pieces that we won't talk about now just stories Oh you're cracking yourself up I see, that's good So when the heatwave happened in the UK we spoke about summer penises and lots of guys

were saying, hey I think it's bigger and then scientists were like, it is, just a little bit it is a little bit bigger. And is it something to do with like the more blood or something? I can't remember. It's just the warmth, right? So you didn't need nothing contracted like usual.

You puff up a little bit. It's the anti-shrinkage. Yeah. Yeah. Now that it's getting, it's the turn of the season in the UK. So it's heading into winter. And they've moved on to women, saying that winter is not a good time,

I guess for men, because it'll be smaller. If it's bigger in summer, it's smaller in winter. But also because the vagina has a bit of a drought. In winter? In winter. Are you not irrigating?

Because of the cold weather, they literally enter drought mode, which can... We took a metaphorical drought. Like, you know how they say, if it doesn't rain, it pours when it comes to... Not metaphorical. No?

An actual sort of a dehydration situation. Yeah. And the more... So you spend a lot of time in heated rooms, that can reduce the moisture in the air. And you've probably got your dehumidifier on, Megan. So that'll be drying things out. And a little bucket of damp bread to stop your clothes getting mould on in the cupboard. That sucks the moisture out of everything.

If you fall asleep with the dehumidifier on, I can remember, Vivian, my brother was weird. Like, we shared a room growing up and he'd want to sleep with, in summer it was a fan, in the winter it was a dehumidifier. And I think it was just the noise.

He just liked the constant hum. Right. And you'd wake up after falling asleep in the room with a dehumidifier and you'd be like, It's like, I'm dry as Spongebob in that episode where he goeshumidifier and you'd be like... It's like, you know, if you ever...

I'm dry as Spongebob in that episode where he goes on the land and he dries out. But it's like having a heat pump on or the air con. Like you stay in a hotel for a night or whatever. You wake up, you're just like... That's the moisture. So what are they saying that this is a thing? Yeah, this is a thing.

So they're saying it can actually end up being quite painful. It's a serious situation. Nurses have suggested a few things. Drinking apple juice is very good. Eating greens, watermelon, drinking coconut water, kumara. Stressing less because that can affect. Oh yeah, that's easy. That's easy.

You're just like, oh, just stress less. We've come out of winter. Yeah. Is this, like, can you concur? Well, then it's... Then it's a thing. We are coming out of the drought. Winter for the vagina is like winter in a tropical place.

What do you mean? Because the temperature's not really changing. But, like, summer in, for example, Thailand, like, the temperature for example, Thailand, like the temperature's not wildly different, but the summer is the, can't say it. It rains a lot. Yeah.

The monsoon season. Yeah, right. And, you know, winter is maybe a little bit colder, but it's the dry season. And there are sand flies. Yeah, well, there can be. I always find that weird because winter seems like it rains a lot. It does. But your skin and your lips dry out. I mean, like, on your

face. Yeah, why? Sorry. Always good to point out that difference before you say the word lips, I think. Like, your face. I think it's one of those differences. I'm trying real hard. Your face lips dry out. Yeah. So it's just a public service announcement. I feel like we can't go on without being hydrated.

It's too late now. Put that in your iCal for next, what, May? Yeah, just to hydrate. Just to hydrate and keep in mind that one would be entering the winter phase of the vagina. Otherwise for men though, great news, summer penis on the horizon. It's great news to everybody except the lesbians. No, summer means that's a summer vagina for both. No, no, no.

Yeah, but I was just saying more specifically the summer penis. You're saying that they don't have anything to look forward to. No, no, no, they don't. Okay. They don't. Okay. The heterosexual males will own one. Homosexual males own one and get to enjoy them. And then heterosexual females get to see them and be like,

damn, where's that been hiding? Right. And lesbians. Like a little bit. Well, they don't. They don't enjoy penises, Megan. That's a fact, isn't it? Yeah, right.

I believe. Okay. I mean, I shan't speak for every lesbian. I don't believe in generalising, but I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they voted on that referendum. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Today's Top Six deals with the fact that more retirees are going flatting.

This is shared accommodation between people of an older age. There's some charities around that kind of look after people who maybe can't afford to live by themselves anymore, so they find groups of them and put them in houses. There's one of them in Auckland where there's 12 pensioners living in one large Auckland house. 12 pensioners living in one large Auckland house. God, 12 pensioners. Could you imagine them whinging coming out of that place?

Nothing would be right. She'd be all go. Yep. But just like the bathroom queues, everything. Just living with 12 people of any age. Yeah. That's too many. Yep.

That's too many people. But it's happening around the country. And look at this. Look at this lady who's doing sheet accommodation. Doesn't she look a little too posh to be doing sheet accommodation? Oh, yeah. She does. She's an old, pretty ex-girl.

But then I'd imagine they were like, they're doing a story on us. It's time to get the glad rags on. You want to look your best if you're going to be in the paper. Yeah. So, yeah, this is happening around the country. And more and more people are doing it. I actually don't think it's that bad a thing because... Well, it's like when you go flatting when you leave home,

you want to meet new people, you move to a new city, you meet new people. Well, you wouldn't be lonely either. So many people say, you know, the saddest part about getting old and if you lose your partner or, you know, never had one or whatever or your family moves away, you get lonely. But if there was all those other people, at least it would be a very social place.

I think that's why I'll join the bowls club. I'm just joining that for the cheap beers. That too, yeah. I won't even be frequent at bowls. Look, my knees are bad enough as they are. Let alone when you're 80. Yeah. So today's top six.

The top six annoying things about your new 80-year-old flatmate. I wish I'd written the positives because baking, no noise complaints because they're deaf, all the sweet discounts, stories about the old days. It's right up my alley. Well, you can make lots of noise. I won't hear it. Just turn off their hearing aids and they'll be sweet.

So the top six annoying things about your new 80-year-old flatmate. The smell is number six. The smell of tripe cooking. Ooh, tripe. You thought someone microwaving fish was bad? Try a boiling pot of cow stomach for like eight hours. Oh, grandma. You're going to boil tripe for a long time to get it to soften up.

Yuck. That's a treat. That's a trick to try. Long boil. What about mince? It stinks. What's wrong with mince? Well, you want to use every part of the cow.

You've been through the mince. It's close to payday. They live through the war, Megan. They know how to stretch things. Have you ever had a cow hoof lollipop? Delicious. If cooked right. I'm lying.

That's not a thing. Number five on the list of the top six annoying things about your new 80-year-old flatmate. They always park their Daihatsu Mira in the carport and then always have to be getting everybody to move every time they want to go out to bingo, housey, all their doctor's appointments, knitting club, bowls, visiting people on the flower show. Old people.

So much more social than us. I know. So much more social. Number four on the list of the top six annoying things about your new 80-year-old flatmate. The noise of the keypad clicks that they haven't turned off on their phone. Because there's still one finger typing Oh, you're getting past Oh, I'm going to roll on there

No, that was deleting Oh, deleting Oh God, that would be punishment Number three on the list of the top six annoying things about your new 80-year-old flatmate They don't have a job so they can park themselves in front of the TV and thus get first pick of what's been watched.

Yeah, true. And the MySky is full of episodes of Antiques Roadshow, but not for the ironic reason that you watch Antiques Roadshow. Yeah. They're just like, I remember those. Number two on the list, puzzles. God damn puzzles everywhere. I love puzzles.

They take up the whole table. No, but they do them real quick. And crocheting. Basically any hobby that takes so long they need to be left half completed and returned to six months later. Doesn't producer Caitlin do crochet? Idea?

Was it idea? No, they do cross stitch. Cross stitch. Cross stitch. What's the difference? Crochets are making things, eh? Cross stitch is decorative. No, yeah, cross stitch is doing...

What does your mum do? Your mum made a hat. Mum does all of it. She knits and cross stitches. She doesn't crochet. No. I don't think I know what cross stitch is. Do you put that on your mum?

Long stitch. You want to go into long stitch, mate. Long stitch is easier. It's less work. Oh, but it doesn't look as good as cross stitch. No, no, it doesn't look as fine, does it? And it's good because it gives me something to do with my hands while I'm watching TV, so I don't eat.

I bet you still eat, though. I do. I do both. I've learnt to multitask. Eat the cross stitch. And that's why your cross stitch has got burger ring stains on it. We've all been there. And the number one annoying thing about

your new 80-year-old flatmate, the plastic wrap on the couches to keep them in pristine condition. How expensive were couches back in the day that they needed them to last like so much longer? Yeah, I guess a lot.

And it made it really uncomfortable. Was it a wheeze thing? I think it's a wheeze thing. Was it a wheeze thing? I thought it was a wheeze thing. Because I was always understanding it was to keep theze thing, yeah. Was it a wheeze thing? I thought it was a wheeze thing. Because I was always of the understanding it was to keep the stains and everything off, but then like couches get stains.

That's just what couches do. Was it wheeze all along? Mum at home makes little mats for the cats to sleep on the couch. Okay. To keep your hair off. So she covers all the cushions with little homemade things. Yeah. Just like, don't worry about it, Mum. Just, I don't know. But then they stay on all the time, right? Yeah, they stay on all the cushions with little homemade things. Just like, don't worry about it, Mum.

Just, I don't know. But then they stay on all the time, right? Yeah, they stay on all the time. Yeah, so then they're just covered in hair. That's their couch now. I know, but it's annoying. Like, just have the couch covered in hair. Yeah, like what difference does it make?

Now you've just got a couch with like pillowcases on it. You've got a couch covered in throws, covered in hair. Yeah. Yeah. Just have a couch and vacuum the couch once a week or something. If they ever want to sell it though, keep it in prestige. Why?

I don't know. It's still in the reservoir. I mean, we're tearing through resources now in our age. So we've got a couch, didn't even care. I'm like,

I'm ready to chuck it away. Yeah, get a new one. Yeah. No, I don't want to. That is today's top six. A new law comes into effect in New Zealand today. It is a Customs and Excise Act of 2018,

which sets guidelines on how customs can carry out digital strip searches. This is... What? They don't digitally strip search you. They strip search your digitals. Megan's face. Quite important, I suppose. Sorry, what? Strip search my what?

Your digitals. So they can take your phone off you and they need you to provide access to it. They did not say password. Yeah. Because they wanted it to include pin codes, passwords, or fingerprint access to electronic devices. Or space even now with the new iPhones and stuff.

If you refuse, you could get a $5,000 fine. And obviously arouse a fair bit of suspicion. No, but not just that, because people that are like really big into privacy don't even like this. No. They've got nothing to hide, but they're saying that your whole life is on your phone.

And it is. But I don't have anything interesting on there. Well, you'll be fine then. Oh no, because they'll need to get into your vault. They could ask to access that app you've got that hides all your nudes. There's no, because they'll need to get into your vault. They could ask to access that app you've got that hides all your nudes. There's no biosecurity risks in there. Stay away.

Scarring, though. PTSD for the customs officers. So one of the people you're talking about, Fletch, who just said that, you know, it's an aspect of privacy. The annoying part about this is he's on the wrong side of the story. Yeah. Because with this guy's surname, which I'll tell you in a minute, I wish he was on the customs side of things.

Okay. Because his last name's surname Which I'll tell you in a minute I wish he was on the custom side of things Okay Because his last name's Beagle How great would that be If there was a Mr. Beagle A Mr. Beagle That worked for customs Mr. Beagle and his Beagle

Yeah You'd have to call the Beagle Beagle as well Yeah It's Mr. Beagle and his Beagle Beagle He's saying yeah It's just an unjustified invasion of privacy Now they have to have fear and what is the, they have to have reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing.

So you already have to be on their list pretty much of people they want a word to at customs anyway. What is the definition of that? Well, exactly. There's no real definition, but like connections to people's of suspicion or having been in touch with somebody who's maybe reported you at this end. So if you're like a gang member or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. Gang member trading in illegal digital content. Right, and they just want to look up your texts to be like. They just want to flick through your basics, I think. Can you put this up your butthole when you go to New Zealand? They'll be like, oh, got you. Oh, right, because then they've got a reason to check your butthole.

Yeah. Right, I see what you're saying there. Right, okay. The last text message is, you got that thing up your butthole? And they look at you and they're like... Yeah. Come on, you've got to delete this stuff. But if you're a gang member or a Terry Wrist with stuff on your phone...

A Terry Wrist. A Terry Wrist, why wouldn't you just put it... Could you put it on the cloud, like Dropbox or iCloud? Well, that's what they say. They're not searching the cloud and your phone will be examined while on flight mode. Ah, right.

Okay. Why? So they're not going to be able to go into Instagram and be like, oh, following fitness models, are we? What does your wife think about that? Oh, not you two. Having a go at me.

Oh, God. Following fitness models. Come on. Just because I follow them, it doesn't mean I want to sleep with them. I mean, sure, I'd sleep with them, but they're not offering. I'm not going to push the issue.

I don't know, because of their squat technique. Could Megan, though, someone like Megan, who's got a secret vault of naughty photos of Mr. Toyboy. Naughty knickknacks. Would that be illegal? What, a secret vault? Yeah, Megan's secret vault. naughty photos of Mr. Toyboy. Naughty knickknacks. Would that be illegal? What, a secret vault?

Yeah, Megan's secret vault. It looks like the calculator, they're not going to open it. No, but I'm saying if they did open it and they found you and Mr. Toyboy. No, no, no, no, because those are two consenting adults. Yeah. No, no, no, there's nothing illegal there. Okay, I'm just worried about, I don't want Megan to get pulled up for her vault. I think that you should be more worried about your non-vault.

Oh, don't leave photos on the vault. No way. Or on your phone. Delete them. You know who's the best? I've had to turn this off, but WhatsApp. WhatsApp saves all the pictures you send on WhatsApp. It does.

You can turn that off. I've turned it off because I had a group chat with some mates and we'd send each other the weirdest stuff. Not dirty or anything, just weird. And you'd be scrolling back through your photos, not nodes of each other, but you'd be scrolling back through your photo app and you'd be like,

what the hell is that? Imagine being at customs and they're scrolling back through and they're like, what's this? And you're like, oh, it's a WhatsApp chat, it's hard to explain. I wish I'd disabled that thing where it auto saves your photos and your videos. We're getting rid of plastic bags in supermarkets

and now Countdown has gone a step further and they are getting rid of straws. So from actually yesterday, from the 1st of October, they're gone. Where were they? I've seen heaps of this, but where were their straws in Countdown? In the party section. Yeah, where you get cups, the party cups and plates. Oh, right.

So they're not selling them in there anymore. No. Well, you can get other straws. You can get paper, bamboo, and metal. I'm a big fan of the bamboo straws. I've never had a bamboo one. So the idea is they just break down. It's not a big bit of bamboo.

It's made from bamboo fibres, right? I don't know. Do they? Because the thing I've been finding in the last month with bars getting rid of plastic straws, they've been putting in the paper ones and I feel the pressure to drink the drink fast because it gets all sloppy and soggy.

You know you can drink out of the glass, eh? It'll do one drink easy, but a paper straw's no good for a return to a next cup. No. Yeah. I just say no straw. Some people don't like the steel straws because they're the metal straws because they get cold. They're quite cold on the lips.

Oh, my God. I'm just saying they don't like them. I don't mind them. Drink out of the glass. Do what you do at home. Unless you've got metal straws at home. The metal straws also need a good cleaning every now and then, don't they? Yeah.

When you go out, it's the only time you use a straw. You can't tell me you're using a straw at home. No, never. So just drink out of the glass. Yeah, but I don't know. You're at a bar and you want to be all ooh-la-la. But what about his lippy? He doesn't want to ruin his lippy.

He doesn't want to ruin the prowl. Yeah. And yeah, drink mojitos out of a straw, Megan. Oh yeah, because all the mint gets in your face. Yeah, exactly. Get mint in your teeth and you're like. But what's going to happen with like, you know, because they're saying straws is the biggest plastic found on the beaches.

So that's cool that we've got rid of them out of Super Bowl countdown. But what about like, I always think takeaway places, when you get your takeaway cups, they've got plastic straws too. And like, what are they going to do? They need to make sippy cups that's got a lid, but then that's plastic too. What do you mean sippy cups that have got a lid? Well, like instead of a straw.

Oh, you're looking for alternatives. What about the bamboo? You can't take your keep cup to like Burger King and be like, how can you fill up my keep cup? Oh yeah, I always say no straws. But then what do you do? You lift the lid off and drink out of the cup. Yeah, and then you fill up my game cup? Oh, yeah. I always say no straws. But then what do you do? You lift the lid off and drink out of the cup. Yeah, and then you go, put it out.

Fill it down yourself and you're like trying to. Yeah, and then the ice falls in your face. Yeah. Hits your teeth and then you're like. Well, it's a work on. That's a work on. Yeah, yeah. Well, there's work ons.

I like the idea of these bamboo straws. Yeah. Free diving is such an insane sport. They get like a little fin Like the end tail They look like a mermaid Yeah it's like a mermaid tail They get a fin on their foot

One big flipper Oh no that's cheating Flipper Is it? What's his chops? Did it without one? The guy that The Steinlager free dive

Yeah Was that a private game? Were we allowed to say That they delayed that for They were like live we're gonna be covering it live

it was delayed by 20 minutes in case he died it's probably for the best though they said it was live but it wasn't like what if he had died be like oh we've decided not to do it

what happened to him what yeah well I guess they just say look he did it and he died it's turned out badly We're not going to show the footage You just don't want someone dying live on TV and radio

Nah, bit of a downer What depths did he Go to Didn't do a hundred and Because I've done a 50 metre Straight down No in the pool like holding my breath Have you? 50 metres Because I've done a 50 metre I've done a 50 metre Straight down No

In the pool Like holding my breath Have you? There and back 50 metres There and back in a 25 metre pool Nuts And that was insane

Nuts I got to the end of that But that's also not taking into account The pressure of going downwards Because if you ever dive down Into the bottom of a deep pool And your ears go You have to go

And like equalise Was it the Kiwi free driver? Yeah. William Truebridge? Yeah. So he did 102 metres. 102 metres. Okay.

Yeah. So I would like to tell you about- And did not die. Did not die. But I don't think he had fins on. I think he was just barefoot. It's fins. They have a fin.

He has a fin. I thought he was unassisted. I don't know. No, he had a fin on. Have you got a picture of him? Yeah. Did he get one of those mermaid tails that were all the buzz a couple of summers ago, but then they were like, kids are falling in pools and struggling.

Oh, did he have a fin? No, I don't think he did have a fin. Because that was the amazing thing about him. Okay. He didn't have a fin. Okay. But he was, yeah, damn it, I hate when you're right. Oh.

I won't bring it up again, but just for the record, right about that. Are they two different things then when there's a fin? Is it just an unassisted free dive? I think so, yeah. So we're talking about a free dive with a fin. Someone has set a world record. So this was off the coast of Ibiza. So this is with a fin?

With a fin. Okay. Do they mean to if it's off the coast of Ibiza or did someone just fall in high on party pills? No, they meant to. So they attempted a dive of 107 metres, which is 351 feet, and reached the platform.

So it's broken the world record. They did it in three minutes and 15 seconds. That's holding. So they come up with a wire, don't they? So they swim down and then they hold on and then they get rocketed up, don't they? Do they get rocketed up? You get the bands if you get rocketed up. Don't you have to come up at a good pace?

Or do they just pull themselves up? You can't come up quicker than your bubble? I don't know. Yeah, maybe they pull themselves up. So you can adjust your own speed. And then you can't race, yeah. Yeah. Wow.

That is insane. Just think about that. Three and a bit minutes of holding your breath. What's their name? Alicia Sarkina? Alicia. Yeah. Female.

Although that was when you were saying they. I was like, I don't want to stomp her hair and assume it's a male. It. Female. Although that was when you were saying they. I was like, I don't want to stomp in here and assume it's a male. It's female. She's an Italian female freediver who's broken the world record. But has she broken our guy's record? Yeah. Yeah. But she had a fin.

She had a fin. So that'd be an assisted. He did 102. That'd be assisted. Right. So she's broken the assisted. See, I don't know how it works because it doesn't say assisted. It says world free dive. But did he have a fin?

Did he? Not on the video that I'm posting. He didn't have a fin. He's finless. He did it with his feet. Why didn't he do a fin? Why doesn't someone just grab a big rock? That'll drag you down pretty quick.

Yeah. Or just jump in in jeans and boots. And a woolly jumper. No, but then how do you get back up? Oh, you take them off. So you're going to jeans and boots and a woolly jumper. No, but then how do you get back up? Or you take them off. You're going to try and take it off underwater. That's another minute of time, Vaughan. I know.

Probably another 20 metres of depth, so you'll beat your own record. That's the mafia free dive. Yeah, the concrete boots. Yeah. Then you just slip them off at 107 and see if you can get back up. Special day for you three years ago, Vaughan. It came up in your memories just before. Yeah, I had a cuddle with Justin Bieber today three years ago.

It was quite nice. It was actually kind of a cuddle too. Yeah, it was. Yeah. You bonded? Yeah, we did. After the weirdest ever interview? Yeah, he was a good kid.

He's a good kid. Don't patronise him. He's a good kid. Wait, he's... He's 24. Well, I'm pretty sure his dad's only a bit older. Granted, his father had him quite young. No, he's a good guy.

But I think even then he went from a pretty chilled out interview, like we just chilled one-on-one and had a chat and he was all good. But then he went to another station and kind of tried to amp it up and tried to smoke a ciggy in the studio and stuff. So I don't know. Didn't he pour beer into our fish bowl? Yeah, the fish has died. Did they die?

Unbelievable. Did they just get boozy? I don't know. That's right. We had those predicting the World Cup, didn't we? Do you remember that? Yeah. And I was like, I don't want to tell them off because it's Justin Bieber,

but I was also like, oh, fishies. It did move. And I was like, I don't want to tell them off because it's Justin Bieber, but I was also like, oh, fishies. Didn't move. And I was like, stop. But it turns out that fish can live in a beer diluted water. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it. No, I wouldn't recommend it at all, no. Well, they're not alive now, so.

No, we gave them away. We don't know if they're alive or not. Did we give them away? We rehomed them. Oh, okay, that's good. To somebody who wanted fish, which is beyond me. I wouldn't want fish in my house. A lot of maintenance. You don't get any lovehomed them. Oh, okay. That's good. To somebody who wanted fish. Which is beyond me. I wouldn't want fish in my house. A lot of maintenance.

You don't get any love out of them. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. 83 days, 16 hours, 38 minutes, and 2 seconds until Christmas. One. Zero. And now it's 37 minutes. Till Christmas is upon us. Fletch, I'm going to start out with a spotting.

This is from Beth. Beth sent this in. She said, I think this will be right up Fletch's Christmas alley. Unintentional. Please don't refer to it as a Christmas alley. Do not refer to it as a Christmas alley. Don't laugh that much.

This is an advent calendar that will be tickling your Christmas alley. Again, don't say tickling. From the Canberra Distillery, it's the gin advent calendar. Yes. 24 days of delicious gins in small... Bottles. Small gin bottles. It's a good idea.

Yeah. Then you have a little one every morning for breakfast. Keep you going. Yeah, alright. Or for dinner, whatever. Make it. Or lunch. Yeah. Or brunch. Whatever you like. Maybe keep the

morning drinking for the weekend. So yeah, they've got it on sale now. Whitepossum.com dot au slash advent calendar. You.au slash adventcalendar. You can get a gin advent calendar. And it's an Australian gin as well. Australians seem to be right up. There seems to be a lot of Australian gin options.

So many good gins around at the moment. Really in at the moment. Are we in the middle of a resurgence of gin? Yes, here we are. Born. I put gin. I don't know if you could. I don't really emphasize the gin resurgence. Gins, yeah, we got it. You got it? Yep, here we are. Born. I put gin. I don't know if you could really emphasize the gin.

Research gin. Gin. We got it. You got it? Yep. We got it. I'm not happy with the amount of feedback I got on that one. This one from Brandon who popped into a chemist in Paraparaumu.

And on the bit, you know, where you walk up and you're like, hi, just got this prescription. Yeah. Don't announce this prescription loudly. And don't say my name too loudly when it's ready. Don't say my name too loudly. And on the bench there, on the countertop, discount Christmas items. Oh, yeah, okay. 50% off.

That's good stuff. Everything there. You've got yourself some Christmas cards, a couple of Christmas-themed napkin, paper disposable napkin things. A Christmas sheep. You know, all your traditional New Zealand Christmas stuff. It's called a suviets. Huh?

What do I call them? Napkins. Paper napkin things. Disposable. Suviets. Suviets. Otherwise known as paper napkins. You don't call them suviets when you're, like, having them at home.

They're napkins. They're paper napkins, aren't they? No, napkins are You don't call them serviettes when you're like having them at home. They're napkins. They're paper napkins, aren't they? No, napkins are when you're... I wanted to call them handy towels because that's what we call... I know that's a... What is that term where one product becomes so prominent in the market? I forget the name of it. Yeah.

It's a great term. Shouldn't forget it. You look at something like gentrification, but it's not. No. That's where a neighbourhood gets nice or something, eh? That loses its sort of cultural significance or something. Anyway, you're going to look up the word for what happens. Yeah, I am, yeah.

You keep searching. This one in from Amy Rose in Christchurch. The Northlands Warehouse not only has Christmas Advent calendars out, it now has officially licensed Disney stockings and Christmas hats on display. You can see. Is that a frozen one? That's a frozen one there. Elsa and Anna and Olaf on the stocking.

You've also got Spider-Man next to that. A Spider-Man Christmas hat because nothing says. Christmas. Christmas like Spider-Man. The superhero of the Yuletide season. And Spider-Man's got his own stocking as well, so that's been spotted. Kelly has got in touch.

She said, I've received a Christmas catalogue from Spotlight, and I thought this has been done, but uh-uh. This is 12 dedicated pages to Christmas. Oh, and the catalogue. Yeah, this is an official, actual, Christmas-only content spotlight. That's big. That's big, eh? Yeah.

They have good decorations. They are one of the worst offenders of an early Christmas. I saw there was an article in the Otago Daily Times of everyone having a wah-wah about the local warehouse starting to put Christmas stuff out there. But if we're going to put the spotlight on anybody for Christmas penetration, it's spotlight. Turn the spotlight on spotlight.

It's because they need to be early because people are going to be crafting their decorations. Yeah. You need to start early. Was it still September? It was September when that got posted. We're in October now. It's called genericisation. Genericising. A genericised thing. Yeah. Okay. Genericisation.

This one from someone in the UK. They said, this is launched. It took me by surprise while flicking through the TV channels. A TV channel dedicated to Christmas films has launched. Where's that? That launched on the 25th of September in the UK. In the UK, right. In the UK.

And it's going to be playing nothing but Christmas films from now till. I love that Elf movie. Elf was on the other day. So good. And so was Home Alone. And I was like, too early. Too early. You can't watch Love Actually too early.

No, because then, unless you watch it now, you'll probably be ready again by December. Yeah, that's true. But you've got to watch those close to Christmas. It's popping up on the buy and sell pages as well. Someone in Hamilton selling a Christmas tree they purchased three Christmases ago where they paid $500 for it.

Quite a lush looking Christmas tree. Very good condition. Selling because it's too big for my new house. That's sad isn't it? That you've got to get rid of a Christmas tree. But if it's reaching the private sector of the internet and people selling private Christmas items, it's

getting up there. And finally from Rebecca who is overseas at the moment in the UK. She said, my local UK co-op, which is like a four square, has Christmas penetration everywhere, Christmas pies on sale,

Christmas specific chocolates, including Malteser mini reindeers, and the first sighting of a Christmas Advent calendar scratch ticket. Oh, we haven't had, we haven't had reports of New Zealand Lotto bringing in their scratchies. No.

Instant Kiwi. Not yet. Not to say that we aren't going to see them sometime very soon. But with all that in mind and 83 days away from Christmas. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Right now, Christmas penetration is at? 54%. Oh, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

FEMZ. So there was a bottomless brunch on Saturday. I wasn't invited, but I don't know. Yeah, I wasn't invited either. Megan and I weren't invited, but I don't know. All good. You made no secret of planning it in front of us, but that's okay. I love drinking at breakfast time.

We just pretended we didn't know it was happening. Yeah, I mean, I had to tidy my house. Well, I've said that we'll do a show one. Well, I mean, that'll... A show pity one. But then still, you've had two and we've only had one. Will it be as fun? I don't know.

Will it be? I mean, it'd be nice to be there for the first time for everybody, but I don't know. Yeah. Sure.

Okay. Then we all would have had two experiences. And I mean, we didn't get to experience what I'm about to explain. Yeah. But basically,

Caitlin went, Megan. I mean, you and I didn't go. Oh, yeah. No, Caitlin went. But Caitlin went and... We've known you for longer, but anyway. Oh, yeah. I mean, you and I didn't go. Oh yeah, no, Caitlin went. But Caitlin went. We've known you for longer,

but anyway. Oh yeah, I mean, it's been a long time. Almost 10 years. We weren't in, we're out of anything. If I was going without you,

I would have said I would have been a flinch. Are you guys upset that you didn't go to brunch? Our bottomless brunch. No, what? What?

What? Are you upset? No, I had stuff to do. No, I'm all good. I don't know what gave you that idea. Yeah, heck no. We're fine. We were.

Caitlin and I were. I mean, we probably could have come. Packing up on some subtle hints. Really? Yeah. Maybe upset that you didn't get invited. Man, it's always nice to be asked. Yeah, I mean, I probably couldn't have made it.

Anyone for a busy person. I've got lots of responsibility. I know. I had things to do as well. I need 12 seats. Huh? 12! Well, I mean...

12! I mean, there could have been a thinning of the crowd to include... I'm not in your top 12. We weren't invited. It was a hard brunch. It was Maddie McLean's boyfriend was organising the surprise brunch. You guys didn't make the cut. Take it up with him.

Excuse me. Even though I bought a plus one and there wasn't room for a plus one. Yeah, I was just wondering because then I was wondering about that because you took somebody that doesn't even know Maddie but whatever. I'm just writing to Maddie.

What are you? What are you typing over there? I'm writing to Maddie. Oh, you're writing. Good. Say hi. Not like a big hi, just like a little hi.

Let him know that I'm like angry hi. Vaughn says a little hi. A little hi. Not a big hi. A little hi. Okay. Anyway, at a big high. It's a little high. Okay. Anyway, at this on Brunch, which we've heard was an absolute hoot, but I mean, we wouldn't know because we didn't go.

Don't know if you guys know, but we weren't invited. There was somebody there. They weren't with the 12 people. God, if they were, they'd probably be a little bit angry for being left out. So it was your team people. No, they were with a different party. Different party of 12. That Caitlin knows from a previous

rendezvous We said we weren't going to use your name, but I thought that might be too confusing. Yeah. That had previously been put in out of bounds territory by somebody. Now to explain this, basically at a party once, Caitlin was like,

Yeah, when I was trying to wing woman her, and we were like, trying to get her in with this person. Yeah, and then the hostess of said party said, hook up with anybody apart from that guy. Kind of got my eye there. Dibs. And we're like, I don't know if that's how humans work. You can't kind of dibs them.

But, I mean, you can dibsy, you can bagsy the front seat. Like, you can call shotgun. That's an inanimate object, like you can call shotgun. Shotgun is the word for it. That's an inanimate object, isn't it? Yes. Whereas a human, can you bagsy a human or... Well, I kind of thought at this person's party,

like we were invited to this person's party, not on to do it at the party, but maybe later. And she did have things for this guy, so when she said to you, Caitlin, he's out of bounds.

Okay, nothing... Off limits. I can't believe we're talking about that. Off limits. And we were like, okay, right now. No touchies, home base. Okay, nothing. Off limits. I can't believe we're talking about that. Off limits. Twinsies, bagsies, no touchies, home base. Okay, okay. Nothing had happened between them, and he specifically said to me nothing would ever happen with him.

No, but we were invited by her, and she was into it. I know, I know, I know. Girl code. Girl code. Just real quickly, one of the details there, you were invited. Yeah. What's that like, being invited to something? Recently I wasn't invited to something, and I'm not bitter about it,

but I just want to know about the invite. Of course you're not, no. But so he was at this brunch, and Caitlin was like, messaged me on Messenger, and was like, oh, my God, that's him over there. Oh, my God, I thought you were going to say his name. Don't say names. No. So is he still off limits?

No, he's moved on. Yeah, he still off limits? No, he's moved on. Yeah, he's got a girlfriend. He's happily moved on. Oh, so she didn't get told he was off limits. This was just a friend. Look, this is making me sound like the really bad person and like bad girl kind, but it was like a little bit different.

No, I'm on your side, Caitlin. You can't say, I mean, unless it's your best, best, bestest friend and it's their ex. Yeah, like we weren't that close. You wouldn't go there. No. You wouldn't. You just wouldn't, unless you're a terrible person. No.

But you can't say to someone, oh, I like that guy. You can't go there. No, I just said just for that party. No, don't do it at the party afterwards. Oh, right. Just do it later. Yeah. In unfamiliar territory. Just do it later. Afterwards. Yeah. In unfamiliar territory.

Yeah. No man's land. Could we take some calls? Have you ever been told by a friend that someone's out of bounds? Someone's off limits? Yeah. Because they like them, but maybe you've gone there. He or she is mine. Maybe you've gone there anyway.

Or like, because you wouldn't have let your friends Like with your sister There was never any of that But I could imagine that there would be times That people have to say Oh yeah family's out of bounds My family's out of bounds But then like if the other person's into it Who are you to say no

If they really like each other Who are you to say no I mean you probably just know both parties a little bit better. Like, in that situation with the family situation, you don't want to have to deal with the fallout of your mate and your family. What if they find love forever and ever? Yeah, but you probably know them better to know that there will be fallout. Yeah, right.

If you were Rochambeau. Let's take some calls. You can text in as well, 9696. Who were you told was out of bounds? Off limits. Off limits. No touchies. You weren't allowed to date them or even go there,

but maybe you did anyway. Or tried to. And hey, maybe it all worked out happily ever after. Yeah. Or maybe you're still hiding this. This current out of bounds. Yeah. Relationship.

Maybe in like a few years down the track, you end up at a bottomless brunch with them. Who knows? I mean, it's a party of 12. I don't know how familiar you feel with it. Like how many people are going? Who's doing the invites? Again, you're not upset that you didn't get invited.

No, no. I don't know what gave you that idea. I had stuff to do. All right, 0800-DARLS-ATM-9696. Give us a call or a text. Who's off limits? Who's out of bounds? Who's not to be touched?

Bags, property, I guess. See, I know it's weird hearing from all these people because I can imagine if you go out with someone for years and years and years and you've got a group of friends, I just don't think they would go there, right? With your ex. But what is it about people that have a one-night stand with someone

or see someone for a month and then they say, you're not allowed to go there. No one's allowed to go there. You're not allowed to touch them. Yeah, but you didn't work out, but that doesn't mean that they won't work out. I know, but why do people put people off balance? People are off property.

Yeah, you can't just say no touches. Some text messages in on the subject. I flattered with three other girls that I didn't know when at uni. They all told me their guy friends, any of their guy friends, were off limits. When the guy friends started showing interest in me was when I got the official word of guy friends were off. So they must have said to the girl friends that lived with her, oh, she's a bit of a right, introduce me to your flatmate. So I was told, absolutely not.

Now, there's something about being told you can't have something. Isn't that right, Caitlin? Isn't that right? The forbidden fruit. It makes it more exciting. Needless to say, I had fun with all of them. Some they knew about, some they didn't. Just go.

Well, that's the thing. You can't tell these people no. You can't tell them that it's not happening. Keep it on the download. Jess. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. So what was the deal?

Who was off limits? So about three or four years ago, my brother had a couple of his old friends move in and they were brothers. Yeah. The two guys moved in that were brothers. And both of them were moving in to get clean and sober and kind of get away from a pretty bad scene in life and like get a handout. So they were really good guys.

We were mates. I used to kind of half live there, half not live there. So I was around a lot. Yep. And my brother rounded on me one day and he's like, stay away from my friends. And he gave me this huge lecture and he got really angry about it. And it was really out of character for him. And I was like, oh my gosh, what's going on?

And I was really upset and scared and then the brother, the younger brother of the two guys that had been staying there, we ended up getting together. He fell in love with me. One night when we were drinking and stuff, I'm a singer and I sang in front of a few people and he tells me that he fell in love with me then. And three years later, we're still together. We have an 18-month-old little boy and we've got plans to get married. Oh, and what does your brother think about this? Is he good with it now?

He's still a little bit sceptical, yeah. He's like, I told you not to. Yeah, yeah, he's still kind of on the fence. It's funny. Just don't give him the microphone at the wedding. Yeah. Because he might have something to say. of on the fence. It's funny. Just don't give him the microphone at the wedding. Yeah. Because he might have something to say. And not when there's alcohol involved.

He's like, why? Hey, Jess, thanks for your call. Anonymous call. We've got a couple of anonymous callers. Good morning, anonymous caller one. Hello. Hello. Now, who was off limits?

So, the story goes that my friend, she met this guy at uni about six years ago. Yep. And she then introduced our group of friends to like his group of friends. Okay. And we ended up sort of all becoming friends. Her and the guy ended up falling out and she had said like oh you can't be friends with any of those

guys. So I was like yep cool, don't want to be friends with them. Yeah, they're bad. Yeah, I was like no, they're mean. Yeah, I was like, no, they're mean. Yeah, we're not going to lie to you. They're terrible guys. But even one of them's hot though, aren't they? Yeah.

Well, yeah, then about six months later, one of them started talking to me and we've been together for four years now. And how is your friend with that? I think she, I'm not too sure, to be honest. I don't care. Are you even friends with her now? Not really?

We're not like super close friends anymore. Right. Okay. So what about all the other guys? The other guys that were in her friends group? Well, another one dates another one of my friends. See, again, you get told no. See, you get told no.

See, you can't have something, you want it. I think the problem was the friend that told you not to go there. She seems like the one that's all new. Yeah, but these guys were only ever friends with her. You can't say my friends can't be friends with friends. Yeah, exactly. Anonymous, thanks, you call. Anonymous, call a two.

Good morning. Good morning. Now, who was out of bounds? My brother. Okay. Wait, your brother? As all friends should not sleep with your brother. Oh, my best friend was with my brother.

And then I was with my brother's friend. So you were the one that you made the rule. You said my brother is out of bounds. Yeah, it was at my 22nd birthday and it was sort of like, I thought I'm getting a little bit too cozy. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This is not happening. This has happened before with other friends and I've lost friends over it and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. This is not happening. Like, this has happened before with other friends

and I've lost friends over it. And I was like, not a game. Yeah, because like, you can't hang out with your friends if your brother's around, can you? Because then if they've got a thing and it's awkward, yeah. Yeah, well, now he's actually part of our friend group. So we're a group of 12 girls and we've been friends since school. And they're now married with a little boy

and they've been together 10 years next year. So it all worked out. Even though you said no. Yeah, well, I tried. But they're happily married now, so it all worked out fine. And you like them, so why not, like, you ensure your brother's with someone you like, you know? I know, and I was invited to to her at the wedding. Even better.

Oh, so it's still inclusive. Yeah. Happy ending. All right, thanks for calling on us. A couple of text messages to finish off. My sister and I used to date brothers. So sisters dating brothers. Yep.

Neither relationship worked out, but I rebounded with my sister's ex, which also happened to be my ex's brother. So that's like double off limits, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. But then, okay, wouldn't they be the same? Or they're not twins?

They're not twins. Okay, right. But it's still awkward because then you're always going to see your ex. Because you're seeing the brother. Yeah. Well, the rebound doesn't necessarily mean like a long relationship. That's true. We were 18 and my friend's mum was hot and quite young.

And single. Naturally, he said, my mum that's true. We were 18 and my friend's mum was hot and quite young. And single. Naturally, he said, my mum's off limits. He knew. And mum was just like, well, well, well. And then there's just this shrug emoji. This one. Into the cougar den. Yeah.

Mum's off limits. What's it going to do? What? I didn't hear that Sorry Flew right over my head How would you bring that up? What?

Saying your mum's off limits Or that you're hooking up With the mum No that it happened Or that you just have to Leave it on My mum's really happy today Mum's so happy

She gave me pocket money And she wants to know If you want to ask your mum To come for another sleepover Even though we're 18 And we don't have to ask our mum's permission for sleepovers anymore. School holidays. At the moment, everyone's got to figure out what to do with children. You can't just push them at school and be like,

just entertain yourself there for six hours. A lot of parents take their kids to work. Because I've got a courier package used to open the door. It's like an infant with a courier package. You're a bit young to be driving a van. What, at your house? Yeah. And he was doing his dad and he'd run them in.

He was with his dad. That's good for dad. Yeah. Imagine he gets to school holidays and you've got to work. Are they like, was the little kid having a little fun? They're like, sign here, mate. What's your name? Why are they British?

I don't know. Sign here, mate. Sign here, mate. What's your name? Why are they British? I don't know. Sign here, mate. Sign here, mate. What name am I going to put on that? Yeah, governor. He sounds like he'll actually beat you up. Yeah, all right, mate. Have a good day, eh?

See you later. And they always go. And they're trying to laugh down the bar. But I guess, like, some parents can't just take the time off, so they have to drag their kids to work. So a lot of people have to work during the school holidays. When they get to a handy age, like. Yeah.

Little mate who was running in the courier passes. I think it was about four. I'm terrible with working at, oh, I don't know. It's probably eight. It's probably like 12. I don't know. I was like, definitely not old enough to be driving anyway. I was like, definitely on school holidays with dad.

So I totally forgot it was school holidays and I got home from work and Indy was sitting there. I was like, definitely on school holidays with Dad. Yeah, so I totally forgot it was school holidays and I got home from work and Indy was sitting there. I was like, what are you doing? She was like, nothing. What do you mean? And I said, oh, it's school holidays. Then Sade's like, I'm off to the gym. See you later.

I was like, oh, okay. What do you want to do? No Fortnite for Vaughn. I know. And Indy's like, I don't know. What do you want to do? I was like, hmm. I see we've reached our first impasse of the

school holidays. And it's day one. Yeah. It's like, should we go up to the school? She's like, yep. Can't we just give it something with a screen and then be like, see you soon? I feel really bad doing that. Don't get me wrong all the time. But you know, you feel bad. It was one on one.

Surely we can do something. Also, I'm sorry for calling Indy it. It. I saidon-one. Surely we can do something. Also, I'm sorry for calling Indy it. It. I said it. Give it a screen. Take this. Give it a screen. Entertain yourself.

I don't know why we've had two of them, but one will be entertained with the screen. So we did that. Did you ever go to the school? Did you ever go to school during the school holidays? What a weird place to be during school holidays. Well, we lived next to my, like, primary school, so you'd always go, like,

you might go at the weekends and stuff. Just to use the fields. Or, like, did you have a pool key? No. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we did. My friends had a pool key. Yeah.

Yeah, that's weird, too. Well, we lived next to a certain high school in New Plymouth, and you used to just be able to get a screwdriver and Jimmy opened the pool gate. Well, most of the fences were jumpable in the 80s.

Yeah, exactly. But they were just to kind of like, don't, oh, who cares. Yeah. Don't do, don't, meh. Yeah. But now they're like enclosed

and barbed wire and stuff. Yeah. Electric. Yeah. Really don't want kids swimming. Some people did have the key for that pool, so they just assumed

that we had a key. Right, yeah, yeah. You were there with the people with the key. So we went up to school and just kind assumed that we had a key. Right, yeah, yeah. You were there with the people with the key. So we went up to school and just kind of, I had a stick. So I just made a pile of all the clothes that people had left behind.

How do kids go home without socks? Look, I'd get a kick in the arse if I arrived home and mum would be like, where are your socks? And I'd be like, mm. No, but you take them, like your shoes and socks off to play on the field and then you like run around and you're like, oh,

I don't know where my socks are. Yeah, but no further questions. There was a lot of clothes. Was there? Like you could have clothed a lot of children with all the clothes.

They just don't care. So I just made a pile with a stick while we were walking around and he was telling me about all these different events that happened around the school in different spots.

Oh, this is where, this is the tree where the kid was running and not watching where he was going and he ran into the tree. Good stuff. Imagine that was pretty fun. Great start to the school in different spots. Oh, this is the tree where the kid was running and not watching where he was going and he ran into the tree. Good stuff. That was pretty fun. Great start to the school holidays.

That was a pretty fun thing to do. Then we had a treasure hunt, which was basically me just like looking around and being like, find something that starts with R. Basic. That's a real good one too because they get really into that. Got to have a basic grasp of letters. And can you just sit there

while they run around and find something? Yeah, and if they get it like first off, you can be like, nope. And then you've got to buy yourself some more time to spot something else that starts with R. Right. Because you don't want to lose to a kid

on the first pop, you know? It makes you feel a bit dumb as an adult that you couldn't pick something that was too hard for them. Good luck finding a rotisserie chicken on this field. It's got to be something that's on the field. Oh, okay. It's got to be like that's on the field. Oh, okay.

It's going to be like a rugby ball or rugby goalposts. Right. Or, you know, change it up and I don't know what else starts with a... You can really like screw with them and pick like types of tree.

Right. Like it starts with K. I'll never guess it's a K-5 tree. Is this a tip for the school holidays because this sounds very intensive. No, it was me. I just sat on my ass. Right.

I just sat coming up with things that start with letters. That was very easy. Then I had was me. I just sat on my ass. Right. I just sat. Coming up with things that start with letters. That was very easy. Then I had a, I gave her my phone but not to watch like YouTube. We did a photography competition. Okay.

And she actually took some very nice photos of the cat. Okay. Put those on my Instagram. Did you see those? I saw those, yeah. Very like,

well, she took about 10,000 photos but that's a pretty good photo of a cat. Oh, yeah, that's really nice. I was concerned about the first photo. Is she pulling the fingers? No, she took about 10,000 photos, but that's a pretty good photo of a cat. Oh, yeah, that's really nice. I was concerned about the first photo. Is she pulling the fingers? No, she's pointing with her

she was just pointing at me. I don't know why we were doing that. But then that kind of wore out pretty quick. I was like, what do you want to do? And she said, I want to play Fortnite. I was like, alright, I'll let you have a treat. Why didn't you just suggest that at the start? How about we play Fortnite? Well, I mean, it's raining, so today's probably just going to be a big Fortnite day of 50

v 50. Yeah. Just getting her to level up so I don't have to, because I'm not getting bored with Fortnite, but it's not... As exciting as it used to be? It's not as exciting as it used to be. And all my friends work during the day, so I'd be playing with strangers and... It's not as fun.

Put her on solo and set her in there. I'm just going to get my kids good at things that I like to do. Like, should we go shopping with mummy again today? And they're like, yay! I'll be like, yes. Yeah. And then, okay, so mummy's going to come out dressed in something. Three compliments.

Make them varied. Thumbs out. What do you think of this? Oh, mum, that colour is really you this season. Good from you. Good from you. Two more. I can't think of two more.

Two more! Two more or we're going home. Can we please just go home? That's how it'll go. Yeah. But yeah't think of two more. Two more! Two more or we're going home. Can we please just go home? That's how it'll go. Yeah. But yeah, good luck out there. It's a pretty wild world in the school holidays. If your kids aren't burning something down, though,

you're doing pretty good. Right. Yeah. Or experimenting on the neighbourhood animals. That's also pretty good. Well, that's the sign of a psycho murderer. Yeah, it is. That's why it's pretty good if your kids aren't doing it.

Right. Fair enough. This Friday, 10 past 8, we're giving away a car. It's a $10,000 car. It's a Suzuki Swift. It's cute AF. Very cute AF. And there are two ways to win it.

Either be listening this Friday at 10 past 8 because we're going to give six callers on the phone a shot. Otherwise, if you're in Christchurch, you can come down and grab a free raffle ticket. And we're going to just draw out one person to win this car. So you've got to be there to win. So it's basically Caitlin gets one raffle ticket for every person who takes a raffle ticket.

So it'll be 50-50. Because the idea is this car was meant to be Caitlin's, but we're like, well, let's not get too carried away. She's got insurance. I just saw a raffle ticket. So it'll be 50-50. Because the idea is this car was meant to be Caitlin's, but we're like, well, let's not get too carried away. She's got insurance. I just saw a picture of her. It's real cute. It's so chic! So Stadium Cars have come on board. Yeah, thanks

to Stadium Cars, Home of the Good Sports, Morehouse and Rangiora. Rangiora. Rangiora, Canterbury, and they deliver nationwide as well. so the car's going to be there and then you'll just be able to drive it away

how much is how much is petrol at the moment this is well 91 yeah but what's what are we roughly talking

$1.35 $1.35 for 91 $1.35 nine times it's got a 42 litre tank okay so nah that can't be right you put in a dollar it's $2 $2.359 times, it's got a 42 litre tank. Okay. Nah, that can't be right.

You put in a dollar, it's $2. $2.35. Yeah, I was going to say that. I only cost you $50. That's not right. $2.35. $2.359 and we're happy with that as sort of a thing. Times 42 equals like $99. Dollars to fill up the car.

$99 from dead empty. From absolute dead empty. Have you thought about the fact, Caitlin, that like a winner could win this? Sure. But if you win it, you're going to have to get the ferry and drive it up. Oh, that'll be fun. Road trip. Road trip.

And I'll look so chic and people will like toot at me. We're saying chic so much. We said chic three times in that one sentence and twice before Sheikah's the new word for cool so I've a couple of things to organise

ahead of Fridays because we're going to be broadcasting the show live we ticked off the list of inflatable wacky tube flailing arm men yes

they're going to be there they're going to be there because you know we're giving away a car weather 22% chance of rain at the time overcast I like those odds that's pretty good those are easy to beat odds that's fine that's going to be there. Because, you know, we're giving away a car. Weather, 22% chance of rain at the time overcast. I like those odds. That's pretty good.

Those are easy to beat odds. So that's fine. That's going to be okay. So come on down. That's four-fifths chance if we're looking for a silver lining, four-fifths chance of not raining. Now, the next on our planning list, the raffle itself and how do we give people like a number, like a ping pong ball?

Oh, okay. I see what you're saying there. So you have two ping pong balls, each numbered the same, and then you give one to them and one in the drawer. No, no, no, no, no. You wouldn't do that. Are ping pong balls made of plastic? If you were to do ping pong balls, they'd come up.

It's not environmentally friendly. If you were to do ping pong balls, they'd come up, they'd pick a ping pong ball, they'd write their name and phone number on it, then put a ping pong ball into a giant concrete mixer or lot of concrete mixer or something we need those uh because the other option is we get those little meat raffle you know the classic kiwi raffle tickets uh-huh in the book and you tear it off different colors i've got hookups the rsa where did they do a meat right do they use those raffle tickets of course they do okay they'd be mad not to right and they yeah they have them on the table and you write your name on them and chuck them in the bowl and then

they do a draw and you come up and you get them out. Well, that's what we need. Yeah. Books of that. They've got a randomiser. This big digital display thing and you push a button and it goes... and stops on one and then they're like, 35, and then in fuel 35 you go up.

How flash is your RSA? It's pretty flash. Can we borrow the randomiser from the RSA? No, because it's stuck to the wall. Oh, okay. I don't know how it's stuck to the wall. Oh, okay. I don't know how it's stuck to the wall. We'll just do a drawer out of a hat or a bucket. But I know where to get those classic Kiwi raffle tickets.

Stationery, like paper. Yeah. All the stationery stores have them. We have stationery, we'll have them. Yeah. But how many are we going to need? Well, there's 100 in a booklet. And from what I'm aware of, you can get four different colours that I can think of.

Okay. So that's 400. Is that going to be enough? Because one for Caitlin's How many people want to turn up? That's only allowed for 200 people.

10 people could turn up or 200 or 400 or 900. We've ended it over Cater, aren't you? Okay, yeah. Do that with me. I've got, yeah, I can do that.

All right, so Friday it's all on Thank You To Stadium Cars a $10,000 car you can do that. Alright, so Friday, it's all on Thank You To Stadium Cars, a $10,000 car you can win at 10 past 8 this Friday. Do we actually

want to leave that with him? Have we said where to come? We're going to be outside Countdown BK on Morehouse Ave. In the car park,

so that's where you need to come on Friday at Christchurch. Peace, Kate. Don't forget the tickets. Otherwise, call in and,

Caitlin, can you take over the organising of buying these? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. He hasn't even... Yeah, I've already done that. How good am I at saying I'll do something so I seem like a good guy

and then it just gets taken off me because I won't and then I'm like, well, I tried. And that's like, that's all you can ask. That I tried my best. Just we know that you're terrible at life. Which is exactly where I've crafted my life to get to. Not actually having to do something, but kind of seeming like I could. Yeah.

Or at least I wanted to. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. 17th of October is it too early to mention this but the next our next fact of the day pub quiz will be in Christchurch

on the 17th of October so we're going to be at Clever and Co. Two weeks tomorrow. $1,000 for the winning team. You can read to see your team at ZM Online. I like that they've picked a place with a good amount of meat. Yeah.

That is good. Yeah, thank you. Thanks everybody that made that happen. Today's fact of the day is about a little Nigerian village called Ubang. You're right. Yeah. Ubang is a... You are a bong.

This is Ubang, a farming community in southern Nigeria where the men and women speak different languages. What do you mean? They have different words for the same thing between genders. Oh, but doesn't lots of language have that? Why? What do you call a small thing that barks? No, but like in different languages,

they call things differently. They say things differently. If you're a female or if you're a male. No, I'm not talking about specific like male and female. Feminine kind of versions. You know, these are like two different names, like a dog. Yeah. The males call it an abu, and are like two different names, like a dog. Yeah.

The males call it an abu and the women call it an okwakwe. Oh, okay. So the one thing and they're vastly different names. Oh, right. So a tree, the men would say that's a kitchi and the women would say that's an okwing. Oh, they're like completely different. Completely different. Don't even sound anything alike.

They obviously both know what those words mean. Yeah. But they... Yeah, you would. What would happen if a boy said ukwing? Megan, I don't have an answer for you. Why are you saying that? If a male started using the female words for things.

Right. Yeah. Does it say why? So somebody went and studied the community and said the words don't even sound alike. It's unlike other places in the world where there has been slightly different words, but they would sound the same or like you said, Fletch, have a feminine ending. A feminine or a masculine. Yeah.

Yeah. Start or ending. But I know these are just two vastly different things. And they said it's always been done. They trace it back as far as they can. It's predominantly a spoken language. It's not a lot of written down aspects of this language. And they just got to the point where they said,

God told us we had to do it this way. Oh, okay. So that's just far back. I think trace anything far enough back and everyone starts losing, you know, why they do things that They're like, God? I don't know. But a bit of a blank spot in history there.

We'll just say God made that happen. So that's easy. We can carry on with life now. Right. But, yeah, they've got two vastly different words. They call clothing. Men would put on niki and women would put on ariga. So, yeah.

Not even close. Not even close. Not even close. But they do understand what the other person means, but they don't use that word. And it's for everything basically. Yeah, right. That's got a noun or some verbs.

What if you're saying you put on your... You'd still say the... You'd still say what men say for clothing. Right. Okay. Crazy. From what I can understand. Yeah. And yams, they've got different words for yams. I don't know why they specifically think of yams,

but when this person went to study, the chief's like, watch this, what do you call this? And she says, oh, that's an uri. And he's like, it's actually an etong. We have different words for things. Side note, how great are roasted yams? You know I love a yam. You know I love yams. God, they're good, eh?

Like, they're underrated. More people should be roasting yams. I'm a big fan of yams. People leave the yams. Do we have the right climate to be growing more yams? I don't know, but I see them in the supermarket and if you're doing a roast, always include a yam. That's why I'm thinking they're always quite expensive compared to potatoes.

Oh, you're right. And kumara. But they hold their heat, too. Kiffs when you bite into them. Oh, yeah, because you leave the skin on when you roast a yam. You don't peel a yam, because if you peeled a yam, there'd be nothing left. Yeah. You leave the skin on, but then that does equal roasty, toasty, a little bit of yam.

So today's fact of the day is there is a small farming community in southern Nigeria where men and women have different words for the same things. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Want to talk now about bridesmaids. You two, have you ever been bridesmaids? Great movie. Oh, not the movie. No. Actually being a bridesmaids. You two, have you ever been bridesmaids? Great movie. Oh, not the movie. No.

Actually being a bridesmaid. Not like a groomsman. No. Not like a, is that what you call the? Yeah. Yeah, the. Not a groomsman. I've never been a bridesman.

No, and I'd probably say. That's a thing though, eh? Yeah, bridesman. You can't have a bridesman. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But usually you don't make them wear a dress. I mean, each to their own, but you wouldn't probably wear a dress. What do the guys do, though, if all the girls are in some pink bridesmaid's dress?

They get a pink tie. Yeah. They just get something that kind of matched. Not wear a pink suit. Would you... Might be hard to find a nice pink suit. Actually, for like groomsmen, have you ever paid for your suits? Paid for what you were going to wear when you were a groomsman?

No, I've only been a groomsman once and no. And I've had groomsmen and I didn't make them. Yeah. So you didn't have to pay when you were born? No. That's good. Well, I was either that or I was wearing my track pants. So I think Horne's wife Sade was like, let's get everyone a nice suit. Because there's this

thing some people do when they have bridesmaids, they make them pay for the dress. But then they get to keepmaids, they make them pay for the dress. Okay. But then they get to keep the dress, right? They get to keep, but you keep the dress anyway. It's impractical to wear that though, isn't it? Out anywhere else, isn't it? Well, it depends on the dress.

Some of them are quite simple. I knew someone that wanted the dresses back and sold them all. Are you kidding? No. Okay. The bridesmaids didn't pay for the dress. Right. And they didn't get to keep the dress.

They wanted them back. That's actually not a bad idea, I guess. They sold them on as a set. Okay. So you could buy them for your wedding. Yeah, but then you've got to choose your bridesmaids based on the dress size. That's true. That's true.

So I want to talk about this wedding that happened or is it's ongoing. So a bride has been absolutely slammed for forcing her bridesmaids to pay $300 New Zealand dollars for these dresses. Now, it's not so much that they're being made to pay for them. These are, I'm going to try and describe it to you. It's yellow. She's opted for canary yellow. I was going to say canary yellow because that's the only yellow I've ever heard of. Not a baby, not a pistol.

Canary yellow. The bottom is ruffled tulle, much like House of Hutton. Tulle. What, like net curtains? Yeah, yeah, okay? Fluffy net curtains. How do you spell chul? T-U-L-L-E. The top is a sparkly corset.

So it's really out there. It's something you'd see on 27 Dresses with Catherine Heigl. If they want to be the bridesmaid, they've got to pay $300. $300 for this hideous yellow dress. You're 100% never wearing it again. Okay. And there's six bridesmaid, they've got to pay $300 for this hideous yellow dress. You're 100% never wearing it again. Okay. And there's six bridesmaids and they hate the dress. So they've been discussing, can they say no to the bride?

Can they say we're not paying for it? So it's gone viral because A, they have to pay and B, it's hideous. Yes. Okay. Fair enough. So most people are saying, look, you can't pay that much for a dress that you hate because you're literally never going to wear it again. But my question is...

Is it also their... I mean, they've got to wear it, but at the same time, she's obviously got a colour scheme going on. You don't want to be... You pick a different dress. But that's what she wants today. Well, pay for it then. You can't make people pay $300.

$300 New Zealand dollars. Yeah, that's a lot of money. Yeah, well, pick a different one if you can't afford it. Right. I'm just, I didn't make my bridesmaids pay for their dresses because I'm of the opinion, like, you're making them wear something. You've chosen the dress. You're making them wear it for your day.

You pay for it. But is it more the fact that maybe some people aren't in that position to be able to afford that? Pick a different dress. Like a cheap one, just a real easy. Or like you can get like simpler dresses. Yep. So if the yellow tulle dress was 80 bucks.

Yeah. Would you pay for it? No. Because I'm not, I don't want that. It's the yellow tulle dress. No, but if you ask. I just think it's your decision. Like, do you not agree?

Because you don't pay, you don't make the groomsmen pay for their suits. Yeah, but I've dealt with a bride who's made her mind up on something and you just don't argue with it. It's easier to just... Yeah, true. I'm just like, I don't know what everyone thinks about this. I mean, if you were going to take them off your bridesmaids and on sell them, maybe it would be a thing.

But I'm keen to know where you stand on this. Should bridesmaids pay for their dresses? That'll also be a good option because you'll find out secondhand bright yellow dresses with a tulle bottom actually are harder to sell than brand new ones. Yeah. That nobody wanted in the first place. Okay, so do you want to hear from people

that have had to buy their bridesmaids' dresses? Yeah, and when you were angry about it, did you talk to the bride? Or were you all good? And maybe you had to buy your bridesmaids' dress and it was hideous and you'd never wear it again. That's upsetting. I don't know if many people would have had to buy their bridesmaid's dresses.

I know of people that... Are you telling me... No, I'm not going to say it. No, say it. I'm going to get myself in too much trouble. But people buy clothes all the time that they only wear once and don't really like them after one wear.

No, it's your choice. Yeah, but sometimes you need to be told what to do. Alright, 0800-966. Did you pay for your bridesmaid's dresses and should you? Should you have to pay

for your bridesmaid's dresses? Do you think the nation's divided on this one? Pretty divided by going by the text machine. It seems real 50-50. I'm like dead set no because it's being forced upon them.

Unless you're doing the buy what you like and then you can wear it again because it's your choice. Yeah, buy yourself a dress that fits this minimal criteria. If you're forcing a dress upon someone, you have to pay for it. That's what I think. I got asked to be in a bridal party as a favour. Okay. Did someone drop out and they were like, please? It was to Even up numbers

So I don't know If the other dude Had like too many And she was like Well I mean You weren't one of my first picks But do us a favour I need an even number here

No but it might be In an acquaintance And you have to be like Hey it's a bit of a favour Because otherwise It would be weird Yeah So I had to pay for the dress

That I will 100% Never wear again It was lilac Had lace at the top Tight around the neck And armpits And it was too long. It got all dirty at the bottom and then

I had it given an approximate cost to have it dry cleaned and they said it would be $200. So it's sitting in my wardrobe dirty as a reminder of this sort of thing. See, no one's wearing a lacy lilac dress again. No. No. Not really. Alright, Lana, what do you think?

Well, I've been a bridesmaid twice and i was i paid for my dress and then i'm being i'm the bride this time and those two are my bridesmaids and so i kind of am doing the same thing like they're paying for their dress oh because they set the bar they set the bar they made the rules bar. They made the rules first off. They made you pay, so you're making them pay. When they got married, were you a bit miffed that you had to pay for them though? Were you like, oh. No. No, not at all really.

The thing is though, is that my friends are never going to make me wear something that makes me feel uncomfortable. And I'm under the impression that they, like I said that I want this specific colour, but they can choose the style because I personally think that they're going to look better in something that they think they're going to look better in.

True. Okay. Yeah, good. Have you worn the dresses that you paid for to be part of their bridal party? Have you ever worn those dresses again? No. Yeah, see, that's my problem. I wonder if they were multi-use.

Hey, Lana, thanks for your call. Libby, do you think that people should pay for their bridesmaids' dresses? No, not at all. I was the bride and had four bridesmaids, four groomsmen, and we paid for everything. So we paid for the dresses, the hiring of the suits, the jewellery, the shoes, everything. Yeah, so did we.

Yeah. I just think you're forcing it upon someone. Like, they're going to do the service, but you're making them wear something. And that's a lot of money. Along the whole journey, I said to them, these are the dresses I like. What do you guys think? You guys have got to agree on something. And they were all black.

They were all, double worn them again. And they were actually really nice dresses. So they were all really happy. Yeah. Perfect outcome. Yeah, absolutely. Libby, thanks.

You called some text messages. We had to pay when I was a bridesmaid. The worst part about it was having to buy hideous burgundy flat shoes for my friend's wedding. Why flat shoes? We weren't allowed to have heels. She was shorter than us. She cancelled the wedding a week out as she met a new bloke

on her hen's do. Didn't offer any of us anything for the investment we'd made. You're kidding. You met someone new on your hen's do. I mean the signs were there. She made you buy ugly shoes. She wasn't fully vested in this. Where are you meeting him?

On the Henstow. Just in the bar? Or he wasn't the stripper? I don't know. Wow. Somebody else said, my wife got her bridesmaids to buy their own, but just specified a colour.

Each of them had a different style and body shape, so I just left it up to them to choose something that they were comfortable in. Right. Some people would have a problem with that because they wouldn't all match, if it wasn't matchy-matchy. Would you have a comfortable in. Right. Some people would have a problem with that because they wouldn't all match, eh? If it wasn't matchy-matchy, would you have a problem with that, Megan? I'd have a problem with that.

But at least they're all the same colour. Okay. Somebody has said my maid of honour is buying her dress because she's the only one. And then I would have said that's the reason to buy the dress, right? But then she also gets to keep it as long as it's burgundy. She can buy any dress as long as it's burgundy. As long as it's the colour people only wear to weddings and nowhere else. As long as it's, you know, a wedding colour that I'm happy with.

Violet, yellow or burgundy. You know those colours you see people wearing everywhere? Oh, lovely mint dress. Oh, yes. We see people wearing all those colours at places that aren't weddings. So the Instapoll that we've put up, 59% say it's okay. Really? Yeah.

To ask your bridesmaids to pay. To pay, yeah. I'm going to go vote the other way around. Sway that verdict. That's really surprising. Okay. Well, you do you. It's not my wedding.

Exactly. But if you ever ask me to be your bridesmaid, I'm not buying my dress. You can pay for it. I'll not my wedding. Yeah, exactly. But if you ever ask me to be a bridesmaid, I'm not buying my dress. You can pay for it. I'll just wear something I've already got. And then you'll wish you bought me that.
