Okay. It's good. It might win an Oscar. Is there lots of Spider-Men, Spider-People? Throughout the history of Spider-Man, there's been lots of Spider-People, yeah. Okay. It's good. It might win an Oscar. Is there lots of Spider-Men? Spider-People? Throughout the history of Spider-Man, there's been lots of Spider-People, yeah. Okay.

Yeah. In different dimensions and different worlds. Right. It looks great. Okay. Good stuff. It looks great.

All right. Each to their own, eh? Coming up on the show. Each to their own. Yeah. I remember you guys said that about like the Star Wars movie and then it went on to be

one of the highest grossing films. And like the Avengers and stuff. To be honest, you two are in the minority here. No, I like the Avengers and I like Star Wars. I don't know what's happening majority of the time. Who dat? Who dat? What's that?

Who dat? Yeah, Darth and his mates. Garth? Darth. Yeah, you know, Darth McVicar, who lives on the Starship Enterprise. Yeah, but has really strict traditional family values. Empire first, Darth McVicar. No!

Brilliant. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for three stories that I've found online. Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one of the following three headlines. Headline one, one star Uber rating. Headline two, a horse walks into a bar. And headline three, restaurant apologises.

Those are the three headlines today. Short and sweet, all of them. A horse walks into the bar, I think I've seen. There's video footage from a security camera of a horse in a bar. And it gets a little bit Bucky Bronco as well. Yeah, it's bucking around in a bar. It's like the joke, isn't it? The horse walks into a bar. And it gets a little bit bucky bronco as well. Yeah, it's bucking around in a bar. It's like the joke, isn't it? The horse walks into a bar

and the bartender says, why the long face? What do you want to drink? Yeah. Why are you laughing like you've never heard that before? Why the long face? I haven't heard that.

It's just like, a horse walks into a bar. Are you kidding? Oh, no. That's what it all horse walks into a bar jokes are based off. No, you just hear a horse

walks into a bar and you're like, huh. No, that's because people don't need to say the rest of the joke because that's traditionally known as why the long face because the bartenders are always trying to work. What's the matter, buddy? Sit down and have a drink. And then you open yourself up and they say,

no, a horse, why the long face? Okay, if Caitlin knows, if she's heard this. Because horses have got long faces. Have you ever heard that? Yes. Anya? I have. Did you know the gag. Because horses have got long faces. Have you ever heard that? Yes. Anya? I have. Did you know the gag was because horses have long faces

and long faces also like a metaphor for being sad? Nah. Oh, you didn't know that part? Nah. So you didn't know why it was funny. You've just laughed all these years and been happy with it. Yeah. No, I just thought it was like something walks into a bar.

It's like, oh, yeah. Like a, you know, one of those jokes. James, you've heard this obviously. Yeah. You're a sensible, smart man.'s like, oh, yeah. Like a, you know, one of those jokes. James, you've heard this, obviously. Yeah, you're a sensible, smart man. Yeah. Sensible, yeah. How have you never heard that before? Well, that's up down to my friends for not finishing the joke off ever before.

You don't need to finish a joke because everybody knows the joke. It's like, it's like wine and a chicken across the road. You should never assume that I know the joke. Always give it a burn because you might get a laugh. Yeah, well, I just did. Easy. Okay. It's a good one.

People should use that. All right, well, we know that story. So do you want one-star Uber ride or restaurant apologizers? I think I'm leaning towards one-star, but I need a little bit more information on... Because I've got an... I heard a restaurant story, but it wasn't really...

I heard a restaurant story. Was it about an acid attack? Yes. This is a worrying trend. You have to apologise for an acid attack. It's not a fun story. Because you know how they're like pepper, and they're like, tell me when,

and they start grinding the pepper. It was like acid, tell me when. Psst, psst, psst, no. It wasn't. Some guy got acid attacked, and they start grinding the pepper. It was like acid, tell me when. Psst, psst, psst, no. Some guy got acid attacked and he ran into but it wasn't a, was it a kebab shop? Yeah, kind of like, yeah. And, yeah, poured, grabbed water out of the fridge, the Coke fridge.

Oh, right. And pulled the thing off and ran it over his face to dilute the acid and stop, you know, the burning. And did so. But he was going to get charged for the two bottles of water he used. From the restaurant. The person on the till's like,

okay, that's, um, six, seven. Yeah, seven. Oh, come on. We'll call it a nice round seven. As soon as they arise, we're about to go blind. That's creepy in the UK, eh, that that's happening? Like, just on the street? Yeah. All the time? So I think next time I go there, I'll wear a full PVC scuba outfit. Yeah, a scuba outfit.

Just protect the eyes. Yeah. Crazy, isn't it? All right. Well, I guess that leaves story number one. One star Uber ride. We go now to my favourite country, Colombia. Colombia.

Where a man found himself in a pretty awkward scenario when he was hired as the Uber driver to drive his wife and her lover to a nearby hotel to continue their affair. What? Wait, wait, wait. So the woman's husband was the Uber driver? Yes. So the woman and her lover, who's called Jesus,

had been seeing each other behind the husband's back for about a year, according to the Colombian newspaper El Espectador. The pair met up and after deciding to relocate to a motel for more privacy, they ordered an Uber. The only problem was that the husband hadn't told her that he was borrowing his friend's car and moonlighting as an Uber driver for some cash. Oh, because it was like, if you see your husband come up,

why don't you just, like, cancel it? Yeah, I know, but so you wouldn't notice. So she wouldn't even think that he was driving an Uber. I'd report him. Yeah. That's like when you see an Uber pull up and they whip down their taxi signs. Yeah.

They're not supposed to have those up when they're Ubering. It's one or the other, isn't it? Yeah. So, yeah, it's uncertain what happened after that, but certainly a one-star ride. Huh. Yeah. Do you get one-star if you fight your Uber driver? Well, they did continue to fight on the street.

Yeah. But, yeah, it's unsure what happened after that. Good stuff. Good stuff. Great stuff. Good stuff. I've never had an Uber where I've known the person. Have you?

No, neither. No. No. Yeah, I just don't know any. I see one of my friends on Facebook does it. Do they? Yeah. But I've never.

My friends are very intolerant people. Untolerant, non-tolerant, intolerant. And wouldn't want to do it. Wouldn't want to do it. They wouldn't put up with people. They don't like people. Yeah, most of my friends, we've all got an agreement. We don't really catch up.

We just agree to agree that we call each other friends. Just very intolerant. Catch up on Facebook. It's all there. Put strangers in the back of your car that have been drinking. You find your tolerance, what small amount you did have, straight out the window. Oh, God, I wouldn't be an Uber driver at night.

Night. It'd be calmer for all the years I've taken taxis and Uber drunk. Concentrated into a three week period. FM. A guy in Texas was like, you know what, I'm going to propose to my girlfriend. And he decided he had picked like the best spot to do it in Boulder, Colorado. He was going to do it up in the mountains. So he told his girlfriend,

we're going to go for a walkies up the mountains. And I don't know if they, I don't think they were very experienced. So they went to an elevation of 4,000 metres or 13,000 feet. How high is that? Well, you think about like Mount Taranaki, Mount Taranaki that you fly over quite a bit,

or you might have even been up it. That's 2,500. So another 1,500 on top of that. What's Ruapehu is 2,700? Yeah, right at the top. And that's from sea level, you've got to remember. Are you talking about metres or? Metres.

2.7 kilometres up. Yeah, that's 2,797 metres. But yeah, I mean, you're already starting. Like the car park would probably be quite high, wouldn't it? Yeah. So they went to 4,000 metres. That's like way more than that. Yeah.

But then it's a gradual increase. Right. But you said that from Texas. Yeah. Texas is pretty flat. So they went to Colorado and went up into the mountains. Well, so Colorado Springs is 1,800 meters above sea level. So that's about the height of Coronet Peak.

Yeah, so you're already starting quite high. So it wouldn't be a big walk. I mean, it's still 2,000 odd meters. The way they walked. Yeah. They walked to 4,000. Yeah. Or they gondola up and then walk around at 4,000.

Oh, it doesn't mention it. I reckon they gondola. No, they walked up. So he was doing the romantic proposal. Yeah, he was like, I'm going to do it with a view and like, you know, in a remote area.

He planned it all. You've got bears, you've got wolves. I didn't even think about the wildlife. Also, it's that high. Like, when you're at the top of a mountain, you get a bit cold and whistly. And like... Whistly.

Whistly. I don't want to be in active wear when I get proposed to. You know? Oh, yeah, or tramping boots. Or like sweaty and like pissed off because I just walked 4,000 metres up a hill. Yeah, right. But it wasn't...

She was like totally happy. So he got at the top of the hill, proposed. She said yes. It was like sweet as, but it's what happened afterwards that soured the day. They rolled all the way down. So they left it too late and they got into trouble on the way down. So both of them

got altitude sickness. Right. Which is what? To get the bends. Or is that the ocean? How would you describe it? It's just a bit like the flu. Yeah. It's really weird. You just get headaches, start vomiting. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty horrid. So they both got altitude sickness. They got lost and it got dark. And so she's like, well, we got engaged, but it turned very sour. So a hiker found them dehydrated, lost, and he led them to the camp, gave them food and water and a place to warm up. So they got found, thankfully. That's a good story.

But it could have turned very sour very quick. Because I guess they weren't experienced. Very memorable. I would say that's got to be a record for how quickly you ended up in the dog box after a proposal. Yeah, I was going to say. Can you imagine? The engagement's still on, but probably not after an argument. So if you remember Pick a Path books, I think this is the most,

or video games, that's what they're saying. It's video games that have driven this. It's not the nostalgic view of how great Pick a Path books were, even though you just, like, kept your finger on the page before you turned it and you'd read ahead. See one option, you'd be like, not the best. No. Yeah, try the other one.

Oh, yeah, that looks better. I'm not doing that one. I'd die. Yeah, die straight away there. That was pretty tough. Yeah. So Netflix is trying this with an episode

in the upcoming season of Black Mirror. They are, and apparently the fifth season is expected to be released in December. Oh, so it's quite soon.

They were expecting this at the end of this year. So basically, this episode of Black Mirror, it's only going to be released in December. Oh, so it's quite soon. They were expecting this at the end of this year. So basically, this episode of Black Mirror, it's only going to be one episode of the next season. I will let you choose how it ends. I wonder if this is because generally the end of Black Mirror is so bleak and grim and leaves you being like, ooh, humanity, that you might...

Choose a better option? Yeah, you might need a better option. But I feel like they're not going to give you a better option because that's not what Black Mirror is about. No. Could it have something to do with the topic of the episode? How are they going to do this? I don't know.

Like, do they just film multiple endings? Multiple endings. I guess so. But then partway through the episode, does it come up with, like, does it stop and up with options? Yeah, I believe it'll be like a push this button to, because what do you watch Netflix on? Well, anything you just use, if you're watching it on your laptop, you just use your mouse. Yeah, yeah, be able to use the arrow keys.

If you're watching it on your smart TV, those all have arrow keys or coloured buttons. But is it going to be like for a happy ending or a sad ending or it's like just pick the red path or the blue path or? But it's not even about the, it's not even about the ending it'll give you options all the way through won't it oh will it well pick a path does it's not just about

the end no they said they're going to try it there won't be too many options because obviously then you've got to be filming basically an entire series

to make one episode but it's a clever way to get people to watch the same episode more than once yeah but then how do we know which episode to talk about

with everyone at work? Yeah, people need a definitive ending to know like what happened. Yeah, like you want to come to where you can say, oh my God, did you see Black Mirror?

Yeah. Like this happened. At the end, yeah. Finish like this. No, it didn't. Mine finished like this. Oh, my ending was better. No, but that's good.

It should have ended. Yeah, you're like, oh, I'm going to watch that because I want to see your ending. And no words as to how many endings there's going to be. Right.

Like two or four or whatever. They've tried this with kids shows, apparently. Yeah, because I thought I thought someone was filming some kind of interactive TV show. Maybe they still are.

Yeah, I think it was in Britain for a kid's show that ended up on Netflix. But I think it's only on British Netflix. Right. So yeah, they're going to do this.

They're saying with video games giving you so many options of how to finish stories and I guess it's all based on the pick a path situation. Yeah.

And just games, just playing board games every way you do it could lead to having a different ending. Yeah, right. TV's always been a watching experience but it'll be more interactive and if any shows get the right one to test a different ending. Yeah, right. TV's always been a watching experience, but it'll be more

interactive, and if any shows get the right one to test it on, you'd say Black Mirror. Because it's not already a mind game. I know, and it's going to be out like December. That's not what we need before summer holidays. Oh, no. You don't want to be at the... Oh, don't you love it when Black Mirror ruins Christmas? That's why you take a break from Christmas Day to watch

Black Mirror. Oh, God. What a downer. Oh, God, I'm having so much fun. Greatest Christmas ever. I might watch an episode of Black Mirror. Don't do it. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Today's Top Six deals with the fact that Britain's wearing it.

Well, McDonald's in Britain is wearing it for still giving away plastic toys. And I kind of get it because they're generally pretty shit. Like they don't last long and then you've just got more plastic. I kind of get it. I get it too. They're not the kind of

amazing toys you're going to play with forever. You just kind of get them and last forever. I mean there's the odd exception. Every now and then

I'll get the girls a Happy Meal and there'll be a toy in it and you'll be like damn. Do you remember the Transformers one that was chips

and then it turned into... Those were legendary. Yeah, that was great. Those were back in the day. But I mean, I can't think of a great example. Minions? There was a Mario ones recently.

Yeah, the Minions ones. The Minions ones were great. What would happen if you just didn't give them a toy? Why would you get a Happy Meal? Because it's small for the kids. But they don't...

Nah, my kids are on the quarter pounders now. And he's like, I want one of them big cheeseburgers. And you're like, no, but those are expensive. Oh, no, I'm proud in a weird way. Because she's eating a quarter pounder of meat. She's such a slight thing,

but she can nail a quarter pounder, so... Wow. Dad doesn't say this enough, but he's real proud of you. But do they want it for the toy? The Happy Meal? It depends what the toy is. Often they'll say what's the toy before committing to the Happy Meal.

Oh, okay. Right. So it does matter. Otherwise they'll just rock the big pack of nuggies. The ten pack. That's the other thing. You get six and they're kind of like could have gone 10 we're all like that yeah it's because

Sade's always in the nuggies she's like she does this to not only me but the kids now like oh no no no I don't want anything I don't want anything

and then gets the six pack and eats two of the nuggies so they're only getting four nuggies oh god I hate that that's what's I'm like one day

I'll have kids so I can eat their chippies and not order chippies on my own you think your partner's a ferocious can eat their chippies and not order chippies in my life. You think your partner's a ferocious gardener of chippies kids. Oh, really? Why are you doing this?

Why are you eating my chippies? Eat her chippies. Don't eat my chippies. It's just far easier. I'll be like, who bought you the chippies? That's right. You shouldn't have bought us them if you wanted to eat them yourself. So they're saying the McDonald's should stop giving away plastic toys.

That's a good point. One of the environmental ministers. They said, you know, if we're all trying to cut back on plastic, McDonald's said they're going to, so maybe they should cut back. So I've got the top six environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options. Number six, a stick from a tree that was grown in a sustainable manner. Okay, right. One that you can find water with.

Oh, yeah, divining stick. Did you ever do that as a kid? You're like, we're going to find water. Yeah. Nah. And you know who he did on the farm? My dad told us if we ever found a new ball source, he'd give us a thousand bucks.

Oh, really? So you were like, all right. Yeah, so we'd take the stick and then we'd dig a big hole. Yeah. No water here, Dad. And then it'd fall down the hole. Yeah, well, that was the thing. You always had to fill the hole back in

because cows could break their legs. Right. Yeah. All right, number five on the list of the top six environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options, ice. Oh, yeah, okay. It's biodegradable, isn't it? Yeah, true. And you get two toys in one.

You start with ice, turns into water. You can play table football with it. Yep. Until it melts. For a bit, until it melts. But you could. Yeah. Number four on the list

of the environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options, a free range chicken. Okay. And you can bring it back next time and have it turned into nuggies. Oh, okay.

You just got to give them a bit of prep time. Okay, right. How much time do they need? What to grow? The chicken to get gains. To fit in the Happy Meal box, it'd need to be a little wee chicken.

Yeah, right. A few months, bring it back. A couple of weeks. Do you take it to the first window? The chicken? Yeah. And then get it at the second window? Yeah.

My God. Way later. Okay. Number three on the list of the top six environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options, dirt. Okay.

Kids love dirt. Yep. Now they have their own bag of dirt. Wait, what's that bag made of? Paper. Phew. Can't give them dirt in a plastic bag. Yeah, no.

That'd spoil everything. Number two on the list of the top six environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options, grass clippings. They're a great gumball. They probably go pretty well with dirt, to be honest. God, do your kids have any great toys? These are the environmentally friendly ones. Right, okay. And the number one on today's top six of environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy options,

air. It's the ultimate environmentally friendly Happy Meal toy. Oh, wow, Mom, look at all the air. I'm going to let it go with all the other air. Our toy's everywhere. I just breathed in the toy. Breathed out a slightly different toy. I'm going to hold my toy.

That was fun. That was lots of fun. That actually sounds like a fun toy. A great toy. It's all in the marketing. It's all how you sell it to them. Yeah, wait out. This Christmas bloody Zuru will have a toy that's just air.

Come in this Christmas. Zuru Air. You're breathing it right now. You've got the toy. You didn't even know about it, but it was $12. That is today's top six. Fletch. Vaughn.

And Megan. The podcast. Sam. A museum has lifted its ban on selfies. It said we don't really want selfies. And you're not allowed to take any photos of the things in here. You can tell people about it, but we want them to come and experience it for themselves.

And plus, when you're selfie-ing, you're backing into stuff. Okay, so my question was, you know how you go into fancy places overseas and they're like, no flash photography? But if you're taking a selfie, there's no flash most of the time. That's because that's for the preservation of the art, isn't it? That's why it's fading. But they haven't actually figured out if fading affects, I mean, if the flash

affects the fading of the art. But yeah, you do go to art galleries and stuff overseas and they're like, no photos. No flashes. Or even just no photos. I'm just like, come on. Like, who cares? It's old paintings.

You turn the flash off. Why can't you take a photo? Just say no flash. I've always wanted that come on. Like, who cares? It's old paintings. But yeah, if you turn the flash off, why can't you take a photo? Just say no flash. I've always wanted that. Yeah. Yeah. So they, and this is where my problem lies, is the idea of museums is you want people to experience art

and everybody experiences it in a different way. But they said it was particularly frustrating. This is a curator that said it was particularly frustrating to watch somebody just take a photo and walk away or take a selfie with the thing in the background and then walk away. Welcome to... Not standing and enjoying the art. Welcome to life today.

Yeah. No one's got no time for nothing. So they've actually said that selfies are again welcome because it turns out if people can't take selfies, they just don't want to go. And also they're not promoting your business. They're not promoting your museum or your art gallery. That's what somebody said to them.

Every person with an Instagram account is a potential advertiser to other people. You think about every time there's a cool exhibition on, like, say, at the Auckland Art Gallery or in Christchurch or Wellington. The dot one. Like at Te Papa when there's an exhibition. Yeah. You see it all on Instagram stories. And I'd like to see that with my own eyes and get that on my own Instagram story.

Exactly. And if you didn't see it, you probably wouldn't go, would you? You wouldn't know about it. Yeah. And because everyone knows what the Mona Lisa looks like, you can Google it. But you want to go and see it for yourself. It's way smaller in real life. It's like A4, right?

Yeah. Disappointing to hear how small that was. I always figured it was like an A2. Did they not have A2 paper back then? Lazy. Lazy. You just didn't want to paint a big one. Laziness. But I'm okay because now everyone's told me so when I go there I know

it's going to be small. Your expectations are ready. Yeah. Okay. Do you know talking about selfies, I actually heard that the average length of your arm length of how far you stretch your arm out and take selfies, too close to your face to get the right proportions of your face.

Being that close to your face might make your face look fatter than it is. Oh, okay. You want it five foot away. It's meant to make your nose bigger, isn't it? Yeah. Five foot, that's like... That's a selfie stick. Yeah, okay.

It's a selfie stick, though, without a stretched arm. But then you're getting the selfie stick in there. That's annoying, isn't it? Well, no, that's all of the angles thing, isn't it? Yeah, okay. You go a bit lower. That but it's a stretched arm. But then you're getting the selfie stick in there. That's annoying, isn't it? Well, no, that's all of the angles thing, isn't it? Yeah. You go a bit lower. That's why you do like an upward angle because then it like makes your face look skinnier.

Downward angle. So five foot is ultimate length. Yeah. Yeah, five foot's apparently a good length for your face to be away from the camera. But yeah, Megan, no, you're not. That would mean you were 10 foot tall if you would stretch One arm out

And it would go five foot Is five foot about you Distance away Too far No that's too far Okay Well imagine I'm six foot

I'm six foot How many feet are you Five something So it's about Your height Oh wow How am I doing that Your height minus

The Subway sandwich The smaller Subway sandwich How am I doing that Chicken teriyaki Six Subway sandwich. The smaller Subway sandwich. How am I doing that? Chicken teriyaki. Six inch. Minus a six inch teriyaki or meatballs. Right.

I mean, well, you've got to get a stick, I guess, for the ultimate selfie. Yeah. Well, you normally take all of our selfie groups, don't you? Because you've got the longest arm. Yeah, and I'll sacrifice my face to be closest. It's just something I'm willing to do. That's why we appreciate you. Take the photo because you're closest to it. And then, yeah. It's just something I'm willing to do. That's why we appreciate you. I never take the photo because you're closest to it.

And then, yeah, that's my track. And it's giving you guys like a handicap start because you're already a 10. It's a race. Yeah, exactly. I'm a 10 second, 100 metres. FM. There has been a new type of dinosaur discovered. Yes. Mahadi Mufubi.

Mufubi. Have they not come up with a Tyrannosaurus Rex kind of cool name? Well, you see, this was found in South Africa. Okay. And so it's in the Sesotho language. And it means a giant thunderclap at dawn.

And it was quite an intense name. Twice as big as an elephant. As an African elephant. Yeah, they're saying it was a giant thunderclap at dawn. And it was... Quite an intense name. Twice as big as an elephant. As an African elephant, yeah. They're saying it was a 12-tonner, and it lived 200 million years ago in the Jurassic era. Is there an artist's rendition? Yeah, there is. What do they think it looks like?

I don't know why this is the first thing I've ever seen, but they've drawn it pink. I know, I saw that. The neck's quite pink. I'm down for it. It's like, what would you say that looks like? Almost like a... Well, it's a quadruped.

It's a quadruped, four-legged one. And it's a herbivore. So it looks like... What are the other ones with the big... Brontosaurus. Yeah, so it's like one of those, but chubbier. And it's got a big frilly neck. And a frilly neck.

Sometimes I just think they just need to zhoosh them up and they just give them their own decorations. They don't know about the frilly neck. Sometimes I just think they just need to zhuzh them up and they just give them their own decorations. They don't know about the frilly neck. Because that's all soft TCU, so that would have... Yeah, you don't know it had a frilly neck. Why if it's a like, what do you call it? Plantator. Does it

have a big hooky thumb like it's going to kill something? It's got a big hook on its thumb. It needs to hook onto the trees, doesn't it? Grab things. It's still not one that I'd thumb. No, that needs to hook onto the trees, doesn't it? Grab things. Oh, okay. It's still not one that I'd like to turn a corner and see. No. Nah.

I wouldn't like to turn a corner and see any dinosaur. No. Like, even a small one. Because on the Jurassic Park movies, they were always pretty chill about the ones that only ate plants, but they're still big and dumb. Yeah. They'll stand on you or freak out and whack you because they'd be territorial.

Even you see like elephants on a safari or hippopotamuses, they kill a lot of people, don't they? Hippo or rhinos. Is it rhinos? No, hippos kill heaps of people because they sit just under the water and then people wander in or they don't know and they're really fast. Hippos are pretty loose. Yeah, and they just wouldn't want to be in the way of any of those.

Yeah. So get out of the way. Is anyone else thinking that Ross from Friends would love this news? Does David Schwimmer have a Twitter account? Am I the only one thinking that? I hope that people send this to David Schwimmer. Oh, they 100% will. When there's any new dinosaur sighting or discovery,

he's like, oh, Christ. And he's not even a paleontologist. He might be into it. No, that was a character he played. He might be into it. No, that was a character he played. He might be into it. He may be. Two hours ago, people were messaging him. Nothing about the dinosaur so far.

But I mean, it's only a matter of time, right? It's new news, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he would ignore it. Send him a story. Send it on Twitter. No, he'd ignore it.

He'd be so sick of dinosaurs. People would always message him. I don't even know. Do you reckon? Yeah. Do you reckon he'd be sick of it? 100%. That makes me a little bit sad.

It's like, do you ever have those friends when something happens, it's their industry? So you're just like, hey, what about this? Yes. You know, like my friend who's a pilot, every time I see a weird funny landing, I'm like, have you seen this? He's like, yeah, lots of people have already seen that. Yes. You know, like my friend who's a pilot, every time I see a weird funny landing, I'm like, have you seen this? He's like, yeah, lots of people have already seen that. Yeah. I was like, oh yeah,

forgot, yeah. I don't know, it's just like a thing you do, isn't it? If you had a friend that was a scientist, every time there was a scientific breakthrough, you'd probably be like, hey, have you heard the latest? No, that's not even my area. Because it covers so many things. You're sending them all this breakthrough in plant cells, and they're like, that's not even my area. Because it covers so many things. You're sending them all like this breakthrough in plant cells.

And they're like, I don't know anything about that. That's a completely different area of science. I'm a different science-y guy. You do that with my dad too. Every time there's like a wonky sign because he makes and puts up signs. So there's a wonky sign or a sign falling down or they're taking ages to put it up. He gets sent those videos. Or if they put the eight upside down on a sign.

That tickles him. Or the S is all, like the bigger curve of the S is on the top rather than the bottom. Oh, I don't like seeing that. I feel like your dad would really appreciate those kind of messages though. Yeah. He's not sick of them yet. No, whereas some people would be sick of them. Yeah.

And definitely Ross from Friends, David Schwimmer. David Schwimmer's probably sick. Sick of getting dinosaur news. Of dinosaur news. Could we take some calls now in your line of work? What do you always get sent from friends or family? Like maybe you work in a certain industry. Yeah.

And whenever there's a story about it or a meme or something pops up on Facebook, you get tagged in. You're always getting sent these things. Yeah. Tagged in. Do you think people, I mean, it's a thing, right? People would. For sure.

Oh, 100%. Oh, here's one I just saw. If you were a barista, that's not the lawyer one, eh? That's a barrister. If you're a barista, every time there's one of those funny arts on a coffee, they'd tag you in. Can you do this? Yeah.

You should learn to do this. That's what I do this? Yeah. You should learn to do this. That's what I would say. Hey, you should learn to do this. People would love this. Because I saw one the other day. It was someone had made a fluffy cockroach. And then, like, it looked like a cockroach. Don't put a cockroach on my coffee.

On the coffee. It was like coffee art. No, it's got to be cute things that would never end up in a coffee, like a panda. Yeah. Like, not actually a panda, but cockroach could be a cockroach. I guarantee if you made coffees, you would be sick to death of people tagging you in coffee art.

In the coffee art. Coffee art videos. So give us a call, 0800-DARLS-AT-M, 9696. What are you always getting tagged in or sent because of your job? And we want to know the things you're always tagged in or sent because of your job. Just talking about this because Ross from Friends,

the actor David Schumer, he will no doubt get deluged with news today of a new dinosaur that's been discovered. He's not even a paleontologist. Still the most famous paleontologist that isn't a paleontologist. Even though Friends finished ages ago and he wasn't a paleontologist in real life. We might as well have

taken Sam Neill. He was a paleontologist in real life. Yeah. I mean, we might as well have taken Sam Neill. He was a paleontologist in the Jurassic Park movies. Yep, true. Or Chris Pratt, who dealt with dinosaurs in the new ones. Oh, yeah. No doubt they're getting a few tweets today. I have, someone said it's not a job, but I have a pet bearded dragon. And every single

time anyone sees anything lizard related on Facebook, even by friends of friends that I don't really know they tag me in and say does yours look like this and I know what a beady looks like and mine's way cuter anyways I get tagged in a lot of videos with the

same cat as Karen like the British Blues like the one you know that lady in Australia that rapped her British Blue in Christmas rapping I'm about to get all of that again yeah yeah yeah I got tagged in Australia that rapped her British Blue in Christmas rapping. I'm about to get all of that again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Should be that.

Like four Christmases ago. I got tagged in that like two weeks ago from a friend. Like, have you seen this? Yeah. Yeah, I have. And you don't want to be like rude about it because it's a funny video and they're just being nice.

But I've seen that a hundred times. You should just say, oh no. Make them feel better. Yeah, true. No, I haven't. We're just say, oh, no. Make them feel better. Yeah, true. No, I haven't. We're hearing from people, though, aren't we? We are. I'm a paramedic.

I always get tagged in stuff that has some weird accident. Oh, okay. They're like, oh, how would you deal with this? What would you do if you arrived to this? I'm a truckie. I get tagged in dash cam footage every single day. It's other people's dash cam. Yeah, right.

Well, like, you know, those crashes in Russia. Yeah. Those crashes. What are you reminding them that they could have a near miss or have a crash every day? Someone said, someone knows you, the text message to Fletch. Does that concern you? Here we go.

It does concern me. Where's this going? Where's this going? That just shows that you're guilty because there's nothing to be concerned about here. I'm an outdoor adventure guide instructor. I was actually Fletcher's partner on an alpine course some years ago. This is Gareth.

Yeah, yeah. I mainly do caving and cave search and rescue. So anytime there's anything to do with caves, I get asked if I'm going and get tagged in it, including the most famous caving incident of recent history, the Thai caving incident. Michaela, what's the thing that you're always tagged in?

Hey, I'm a graphic designer and every time there's some terrible design or some text is misaligned or something, I always get snapchats about it and it drives me crazy. What about the use of Comic Sans? Oh, my, don't even get me started.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I know. People are still doing it. But so, I mean, do people just think that you will appreciate it? It's a combination of appreciate it, and they think that I'll get really, like, angry about it because it makes me really OCD. Yeah.

You're literally trolling now. But do you know, I'm not even a graphic designer, but when I see a shop using Comic Sans or something from like Microsoft Word, I'm like, come on. Yeah, yeah. Like the terrible like title fonts that you can get. Yeah. Oh my God. I can see why your friends send it to you.

You sound quite passionate about it. It's making me angry just talking about it. Yeah, yeah. Michaela, thanks for your call. No worries. Cheers, guys. Nikki, what do your friends tag you in? It's not me.

It's another one of my friends who's a GP. She's quite a young GP. Okay. And it's more, she gets sent photos of people's warts. And it's like, oh, can you just let me know what you think of this? And I've been out in the pub with her at night, and people have told her that, you know, she's told them that she's a doctor or whatever.

And they've, like, pulled up their trousers to show her things. Oh, my God. That's like real life getting tagged in something on Facebook. Yeah. Well, it's free, isn't it? I don't like that. It's their own fault for charging so much to go to the doctor, Nikki, isn't it? Yeah.

Getting hit up for freebies. Somebody else messaged in, they're a doctor, and they said they get tagged because one of their passion things is vaccinations. And they get tagged in every anti-vaxxer post there is. Is that the same with your friend? Yeah, absolutely. And, yeah, I saw one quite recently. She was taken. So, yeah, her Facebook page.

I'm actually sometimes to blame. My son had a burst eardrum the other day and I Facebooked her to check something with her. God, I'd just leave Facebook if I was a doctor. I think it would have been worth it. Nikki, thanks for your call. Isaac, what do you always get tagged in? Hi. Yeah, well, I think. It would have been worth it. Nicky, thanks for your call. Isaac, what do you always get tagged in? I love my job, but

I feel like it follows me around every day because when I tell people I work for Briscoes... Are you having a sale? I didn't even have to mention the rest, guys. Are you having a sale? Tagging on the Briscoes advertising. Is this what happened to you?

No, seriously. The worst thing is when I'm actually at work and then we're on sale and then customers come up to me and they're like, excuse me, is this on sale? I'm like, what the heck, man? Do you not see the 8,000 posters say up to whatever percent? Jesus Christ. You should stop working at Briscoes and go somewhere

that doesn't talk about how they have a sale like EB Games. They keep it pretty quiet. I know, EB Games. They keep it pretty quiet. I know. I know. They keep it quiet too. Maybe one or two posters. Thanks for your call, mate. Some text messages to finish.

I'm a makeup artist and I get tagged in five to ten posts a day about a new brow trend or whatever's coming out of Japan most recently. Or those, you know, those time lapse where they do like a full like. Those are cool. Yeah. But again, they've seen those time lapse where they do like a full like, those are cool. Yeah, yeah. But again, they've seen it. I'm an oral health therapist. I always get tagged in crazy conspiracy anti-fluoride posts. I'm a nanny and I always get tagged in any video involving kids.

That's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah, yeah. That's a lot. I'm a health and safety officer and I get tagged in so many grim stories about people dying at work. It's like my job is to try to avoid this stuff. I don't want to be tagged on Facebook. Awful.

So, yeah, there you go. It's not just Ross from Friends that can't escape. Well, David Schwimmer that can't escape. News about dinosaurs. His fictitious news. Yep. FVM, the podcast. Statistics New Zealand has released the most common birthday in New Zealand.

So this data comes from 1980 to 2017, and it breaks down with a very extensive chart every day of the year. And I can tell you the most common birthday for New Zealanders, like how many, the most people have a birthday on this day? Okay. I would have guessed this month purely because of what happens nine months earlier. So like September's the most popular month.

Like Christmas, New Year's. So it's fair to say if your birthday is in September that mum and dad got a little bit drunk on vodka cruises or cask wine and you were made. You've probably worked it out and then you've probably heard the story. Whether you wanted to hear it or not. So the most common birthday

is the 29th of September in New Zealand. End of September. And I can tell you that the least common birthdays tend to be around public holidays. So around Christmas, 24th to the 27th of December, the 1st and 2nd of January, Waitangi Day and the 25th of April, Anzac Day

are the least common birthdays. And the 29th of February. That's dead last because it only happens once every four years. Oh, yeah, true. But what about Christmas Day? Is that, again, least popular? Yeah, 24th to the 27th of December. So is that because if there was to be any inducing,

it wouldn't be normally on a public holiday? Like, obviously, if the baby's going to come, it's going to come on those days. But then if they were planning a C-section or to induce labour, it's less likely to be on a public holiday, isn't it? Unless it's absolutely necessary, right? Because, yeah, I wondered why, how you get around to having a baby on those days. But you're right, they wouldn't induce them on a public holiday, isn't it? Unless it's absolutely necessary, right? Because, yeah, I wondered why, how you get around having a baby on those days.

But you're right. They wouldn't induce them on a public holiday. And I wonder if they just can hold off. Like, that sounds crazy. But, you know, like they say when you've got something to do, you know, when you're busy, maybe it would hold off the baby being born until a period where you're not so busy.

Is that a thing? I think it's a mental thing sometimes. Your body can be like, no, we've got to get this done. And then when we've got this done, it'll be fine. Also, you don't want to squeeze out little Timmy and have his birthday on a day when, you know, he doesn't go to work or school. Well, Indy's born on, my oldest is born on Waitangi Day. And yeah, it's the 360th. Oh, really? Least popular day. So it's right up there. What about it's the 360th Oh really?

Least popular day. So it's right up there. What about mine, the 23rd of June? Um, ouch. Vaughn just hit himself on the microphone.

About how wide my head was when I was wearing 234th. 234th, yeah. I feel pretty spesh now. That's good. Quite rare. Unlike you,

what are you? I'm the rarest. I'm the 327th. Oh, okay. Out of the show. You're the rarest of the show. I'm 87th rare. Unlike you, what are you? I'm the rarest. I'm the 327th. Oh, okay. Out of the show. You're the rarest of the show. I'm 87th equal. If you're born September, October, that's pretty common.

Oh, yeah. If you're born on September 1st, you share your birthday with the most people in New Zealand. And then September 30th, and then September 28th, and then September 26th, then September 27th. So it all happens like the top five are within five days. Literally like everybody got drunk at New Year's. Yeah, the most common period

is about to finish up until the 4th of October. That's crazy. But then I find that weird too because just before New Year's where maybe you're relaxed, you're at the beach, you're on holiday, you're drinking, you're doing it. There at the beach, you're on holiday, you're drinking, you're doing it. There's the Christmas period, and I always eat too much to even begin to comprehend it. No, but you're done eating by New Year's.

No, I know, but isn't that crazy though? Because if you go back before that, a week, because there's only a week between Christmas and New Year's, it's still right up there. Yeah, right. Okay. I guess you're just not at work, you're on holiday, aren't you? Yeah. And they say're just not at work. You're on holiday, aren't you? Yeah. And they say similar patterns overseas as well.

But then they're not having a summer. They're just having a holiday. And it's winter and it's cold, so maybe they're not going outside as much. And cuddles. Yeah. And that always leads to things. Not always.

Not really? Oh, you're married. That's right. Friday morning, we're giving away a $10,000 car. Thanks to Stadium Cars. We'll be live with the show in Christchurch. Now, there are three ways for you to win this car. And this all came about because producer Caitlin,

you were hit and run by Double D's last week. Double D's was the number plate, by the way, in case there's any confusion. It was, yeah, the number plate of the way in case there's any confusion. It was, yeah, the number plate of the car. And what's the latest on that? The police said

they can't find him. Yeah, no. He doesn't have an address to the car. Yeah. The car. But they really should drop everything and find him.

I know. What are they doing? We've done all the hard work. We've got a number plate. I know. We've done all the footwork. I know. But if plate. I know. We've done all the footwork. I know. But if it's not registered to an address, what are you going to do?

Drive around until you see double Ds? Put the helicopter up. Get the eagle up. Yeah, let's get up in the eagle. Yeah. Can you even see number plates in the eagle? Let's get the eagle up. No, we're just looking for a 1996 white Nissan Pulsar with a dented front right side.

And then every time we see a white car, we'll hover over it. Yeah, go right now. Get out the machine guns. Yes. Is that true, Double D? Double Ds, is that true? I don't, sweet as,

I knew it. I feel like, I feel like we wouldn't last long in the place because we'd abuse our authority. No. Oh, that's just the start

of what I do. That's the best of every cop movie and those guys are in it for the long haul. Yeah, right, okay. Every cop that pushes the limits, it stays in the force

for the longest. Right, okay. Because they get results. They get results and they don't give a damn how they get them. Well, so the team at Stadium Cars

came to us and said, well, we want to give Caitlin a car, a $10,000 Suzuki Swift, which is a very nice car. So beautiful. As we worked out with fuel prices the way they are at the moment,

like super economical. Like you'd be able to fill that for just under a Hyundai. Amazing. Like perfect. But we said, well, Caitlin's got insurance and we don't want it to be that easy for her. So we're deciding now to run the great raffle, Christchurch versus Caitlin.

And you can come down if you're in Christchurch at 10 past 8 or just before. Grab a ticket in our raffle. Christchurch versus Caitlin. And you can come down if you're in Christchurch at 10 past 8 or just before, grab a ticket in our raffle. They're free. And for every ticket that we give to somebody, we'll give one to Caitlin. So she'll have a 50% chance. Now, there is also a chance to register ZM online. And at 10 past 8, around then, we'll give six callers from around the country

the chance to call through and win this car. So those are the three ways to win. Now, are you prepared to lose? Like, I mean, they could go really well in your favour, but no. The odds are heavily stacked in her favour. They're heavily stacked. If this was the Hunger Games, you'd be from like District 1 or 2. Okay.

That's just the Hunger Games reference. Yeah, thank you. I'm just thinking about my bad luck with cars in general. True, and these things happen in 3. So I don't even know if we talked about this on air, these things happen in 3. So a car was crashed into, then she went to borrow

Ross Boss' spare car, and I dropped her off because Ross Boss lives close to me. He moved close to me to be near me. Have a spare car? What is he, a baller? Oh, was it a Mazda Demio? Okay. But why does he have a spare mum car?

No, just because. I think he carpools with his wife now. Oh, right, okay. So we got there, and it had been broken into. The window had been smashed. So we had to tape that up. So that's two. That's a frame.

The third is good. But then it's good because you're getting the curse out of the way. The third is that you might not win. I've had many, I've had to have Bridget

before that. Remember that guy slammed into the side of me. That's also true. Yeah. You are just a run of bad luck. You do have a car curse. But then if you get the Suzuki,

like what if you get it and then you ride it off next week? That's going to be upsetting. Yeah, because you've got to drive it up. I was going to say she's got a lot of kilometres to cover to get it all the way back home. You're bad luck. Could we reenact now? We draw out the raffle ticket and you've lost.

Go. Okay, hang on. Oh, that's cool. Yay! Yay for the person that won. Well done. I'm so happy for you. Oh, Steph's won.

Come on up, Steph. Caitlin, this is Steph. She won the car. Well done, Steph. See ya. And then i'll just say great life in your car um okay what about if you you've won okay so we've just drawn it out and the winner is your number because it's going to be raffle tickets yep so it'll be like green clubs 24. Oh my God. Oh, don't lie. It would have been like, oh my God.

I'm so beautiful in this moment. I'm so quiet and peaceful. I'm Snow White. Whatever. I'd lose my shit. I'd be like, oh my God. What is that? Definitely there would be some tears because I'd be like really tired from this emotional roller coaster. I don't want people to think, well, I'm not going to come down because I want Caitlin to have a car.

Because you've got to, this is win-win for you. I mean, yeah. This is why we're having fun with this. Because you get your insurance money from your old car, Bridget. And so you're getting a car either way. I know I am, yeah. But, so I don't want people to feel bad about coming down and getting a car either way. I know I am, yeah. But so I don't want people to feel bad about coming down and winning a car

and Caitlin losing because she's... I don't know if they will. It's a car, you know. Yeah, okay, true. Each for their own but... Yeah. They'll be like, oh sorry but sweet. So gotta say thank you and by the way where we'll be in Christchurch if you do want to come down on that Friday

morning is the Countdown BK car park. And does anybody have a blowy machine? Because I was thinking, we've got a blowy machine in Wellington, but it's going to take a long time to get the blowy machine to Wellington. How much did they quote in Ternania for the freighting? Oh, heaps. That's how quotes work. You're like, hi, I'm just after a quote for renovations in my house.

Oh, it'll be heaps. Okay, thanks. I'll let you know. Pretty much. No, I was talking to someone who was talking to the person and I was like, oh, how much is it going to be?

They were like, oh, a few dollars. And I was like, that's too much for us. Isn't it Ross Boss? He's like, you got it, dog. And that was our chat. So it could have been $7

because seven's few. It's one of those things that you do cash grabs in. Yeah, so it's, the fan goes on and it blows it all around. Don't they have one at Watt now or is that the Gunka machine?

The Gunge machine. They used to. It might be quite vintage. Might not work anymore. Oh, no, I'm all about vintage. Put a call in there. Get in there and you turn it on and you can still smell

Siobhan Ruah Cameron. That's creepy. No, it didn't manage to be creepy. I'm just saying you could. That was real creepy. Okay, let me start again. Get creepy. I'm just saying you could. That was real creepy. Okay, let me start again. Get in there, switch it on. You can still smell Anthony Samuels.

No, that's just as bad. That's still creepy. Get in there, switch it on. You can still smell Jason Farfoy. Don't say you can smell someone with that grin on your face. You can still smell. That's a bit creepy. Well, either way, whether or not it's a cash grab blowing machine.

You can still smell tummety coffee. Or a bucket that we draw it out of. It may have to be a bucket. You can come down Friday morning or make sure you're listening Friday morning. We're going to say thank you to Stadium Cars as well. Yeah, and if you're not in Canterbury, you can still do a deal with the good sports.

Fast finance at better rates. Cars, bikes, boats and more at stadiumfinance.co.nz. So I got sent a tea towel yesterday. Yeah, it sounds weird. Sounds weird without the rest of the story. I just took a weird time to swallow and take a breath. Got sent a tea towel yesterday by some people who know that I'm a fan of biscuits. I'm partial to a bicky.

This is annualannual.com, a New Zealand little business that made up this tea towel, put together a book, have a whole lot of different things. Because I got asked where it was from, the tea towel. I was like, I don't know. It's just a tea towel with Bickies on it. I like it because it's real Kiwiana. Yeah, real Kiwiana.

They're common household biscuits and slices of New Zealand. And boy. And yeah, you put a photo up, Fletch, saying, I like this one. I don't like that. Don't like that. Don't like that. And crosses over the ones you didn't like.

And I went cross equals yuck. And whoa. You wore it. Because what did you say was yuck? Definitely Anzac biscuits and shortbread. And those are the ones I heard the most about from people. You give me so much crap about loving shortbread. If you get a good butter and shortbread. And those are the ones I heard the most about from people. You give me so much crap about loving shortbread. If you get a good buttery shortbread.

It melts in your mouth. What other biscuit melts like that? I don't like dry, crumbly biscuits. It's not. It's melting. You cross out the Afghan, and the Afghan is the driest and crumbliest. I know, but that's got a bit of chocolate icing in it. Plus, mum makes a great Afghan biscuit.

Yeah, but see, I don't think you've had someone in your life that's made a good shortbread. Rita made a great shortbread. What biscuit is not dry and crumbly? That's the essence of a biki. It's like a biscuit base.

If you're making a biscuit base with something that needs a crumble to it. Should we go through all the biscuits? Okay, the biscuits and slices. Let's start at the top left to work our way around.

Ginger Crunch, the slice. Yep. On board? On board. Megan? Yes, on board. Oh, yeah. Good. Love the slice. Yep. On board? On board. Megan? Yes, on board. Oh, yeah. Good.

Love a good ginger. Yeah, I'm on board with it. Especially with thick icing. Yeah. Yeah. Because what is it? The ginger and the icing and the base or just the... Oh, it's mostly the icing.

How do you make a ginger? That actually is a shortbread, to be honest, isn't it? The base. The base. No. A Ginger Crunch, it's almost a shortbread. Almost. It's quite short.

Okay, Louise Slice. Yeah, they're shortbread. Almost. It's quite short. Okay, Louise slice. Yeah, they're great. Oh, my nana, Rita. I'll refer to Rita a lot throughout this segment as she made most of these. Yep. Oh, my gosh, she made a great Louise slice. Always wondered why they were called Louise slices.

I think Louise made it first. One Louise staked a claim to that. Next, the squiggle. Yeah, my favourite biscuit. Put those in the freezer, by the way. Although I like candy flavour better than Hokey Pokey, but I'm down, the squiggle. Yeah, my favourite biscuit. Put those in the freezer, by the way. Although I like candy flavour better than Hokey Pokey, but I'm down for a squiggle. Controversial. Next,

the pink wafer, which I've got no time for. Got no time for the pink wafer. I left it on because I'm like, okay, that's alright. And this is a case with another biscuit we're going to get to. The pink wafer's pink and pink promises a lot of flavour, but the pink wafer doesn't deliver flavour. And the white stuff in the middle is yuck.

Next line, Afghans. Yeah, we mentioned that. I'm a fan. You're a fan. Don't mind. Yeah, but you're inconsistent with your ruling because you said you don't like crumbly biscuits, but they're the crumbliest. Yeah.

Peppermint slice. I crossed that out. Not a fan? I found from messages yesterday a lot of people are anti this. Yeah. Somebody said it's like eating a dessert that tastes like you're brushing your teeth. Yes. That's just peppermint on a whole. Short bread. Yes.

See, I crossed that out and that's what I heard about the most. Yeah. You need a good short bread. Belgian biscuits. I was very surprised at the amount of people who did not like Belgian biscuits. I know, they're so yum. But then defended the ginger nut. Now there's the same spicy taste. I like the Belgian over the ginger nut because it's softer.

And it's got a bit of icing and a bit of jam. And a lot of people are like, I can't believe you don't like ginger nuts and shortbread. I'm like, well, if you have to dunk a biscuit to make it nice, is it nice? No, you don't have to dunk it to make it nice. It's a dunkable. It's extra. No.

You're so plain sometimes. You've got to appreciate the simple. If it needs a dunk, it's a dud. It doesn't need a dunk. It does. But it's good for a dunk. That was next on the list anyway, the ginger nut. That's gone.

Since the guy who kept the, are you going to do this horrible biscuit next? The raisin biscuit. Love the raisin biscuit. I accidentally left this on and I didn't cross it out because I thought it was a chocolate chip cookie. That's why everyone hates a raisin biscuit because they're expecting chocolate. But then that's on you for being unobservant.

Like, yum yum is a soft biscuit with a couple of juicy raisins in them. No, but then the raisins burn and yeah. I'm a fan of anything in raisins. And caramel slice is next out of the gates. Love caramel slice. So good. Somebody messaged me that and like, caramel, full stop. I was like, get off the planet.

Go live on the moon. Marshmallow slice. I crossed that out. You see, I could take it or leave it. Yeah, same. I'm not like fussed about it, but I don't hate it. Sultana pasty. Pasty.

Pasty. I heard about these because people are like, I can't believe you crossed off all these biscuits that you don't like and you left on a sultana pasty. But it's covered in chocolate. It's like a fruitcake that you'd put chocolate on. Yeah. Oh, yuck.

Yum, with a biscuit bit in it too. Melting moments. I was surprised that so many people didn't like a melting moment. But that's kind of like shortbread.

And see, I don't like shortbread but I like the melting moment because there's like, you have an inch of icing in the middle of it. Well, maybe a centimetre. Also called yo-yos

some places, eh? Yep. The cameo cream, I was disgusted with how many people said they didn't like the Cameo Cream. Oh, no, I hate them. Take the biscuit off, lick the inside off, and then have another biscuit. It's the New Zealand version of the Oreo. I got in trouble when I was a kid because mum found the Cameo Cream biscuits in the bin because I used to just open them and peel the icing off your teeth.

And the icing's kind of coconutty, eh? Yeah, it's nice. And then chuck the biscuit out because yuck. Well, lolly cake next down the box. I almost crossed that off. Almost. I left it on because I'll eat it. Yeah, right.

I love lolly cake. I'll eat it. I wore it for not liking hundreds and thousands biscuits. I crossed that off too. Yeah, they're yuck. They're dry. And again, pink promises a lot of taste and it does not deliver. And the hundreds and thousands are hard and they get stuck in your teeth.

And that's a plain biscuit under there. Yeah, exactly. It's mud dressed as lamb. Butter biscuit. Mallow puff. I left it on, but to be totally honest, I could do without it. Yeah, I'm the same. It's like too much marshmallow.

Don't make yourself look bigger by filling yourself up with marshmallow. I do like to smash it and peel off the chocolate though. I crossed off the peanut brownie because I'm like, ugh. Yeah, it's like an Afghan with peanuts.

It's too dry and there's no chocolate. Ray Ray makes a really good peanut brownie. It looks like a poo. It looks like a poo that's been squashed into a biscuit. The last two biscuits on the tea towel, I crossed out

and I have worn it for these. Magic in the middle. I reckon yesterday I got nearly a couple of hundred messages in my inbox from people so passionate about biscuits.

It's insane. Yeah, well you turned your back on New Zealand when you attacked these two biscuits. First the shrewsbury. Magic in the middle. You can't get round

the magic in the middle. shortbread, eh, with jam in it. Yeah. It's a little bit shortbread-y. It's too dry. And the jam, it's yuck jam and it's not enough. A homemade Shrewsbury or a jam drop, yes, I'll go.

You'll go a jam drop, but you won't go a Shrewsbury. There's lots of jam. But this one I find disgusting that you would do this because whenever we're anywhere and I see an Anzac, I can't say no to a chewy, gooey, yummy Anzac. God, I hate Anzac biscuits. Anzac biscuits. So good.

You are not a New Zealander. It's a controversial, because you know I don't like Nestle reduced cream onion dip. And you don't like tomato sauce? No, I don't like tomato sauce. And so I also don't like Anzac biscuits. And wow. Get out.

I've been getting messages like, I can't believe you're disrespecting our fallen soldiers. You are. Are you even a Kiwi? I was like if they could have been eating squiggle tops in the trenches they would have. It was a different time. It was a different time. They're disgusting. They're chewy. No they're so

yum. That's what I like about them. When they're good they've got to be soft. If they go too far down the line, they start, and they get hard, they're a bit too much like a ginger nut. Maybe I've never had a good one. Oh, even when they're hard too,

I'm going to say. You need a good thick Anzac biscuit because then you're always promised chewiness in the middle. People are weird. Like, you're like, you could go to the supermarket, you're in the supermarket,

you can choose any biscuit and you'll choose a shortbread or a shrewsbury. No. But I'm not saying I want them eliminated from society. You can have a Tim Tam. You can have a squiggle.

Shortbread will melt in your mouth. And yet some people still pick pink wafers. Exactly. Disappointing. If you go to our Instagram, FVMZM, there's actually, you can join in as well. People have been posting on their story and crossing out their yuck biscuits.

We've put a blank one up so you can screenshot it and then choose to. And I'm sure whoever's making these tea towels is pretty stoked about it as well. Oh, yeah, good tea towel too. Yeah. Took it straight home, dried the dishes with it. You didn't give it a wash first. You've got to fire up the fabric. Controversial, I know.

You've got to fire up the fabric and hot wash. Got to get it absorbent. Always, when you buy new towels, hot wash to fire up the fabric. Do you know how I know that? Or don't you give it a soak in cold water for like a day? No. Oh, okay. No.

No. Because we used to, at the radio station I worked on in Nelson, you had to go to the local linen store and do crosses. And that's how you fire up the fabric. You'd be like, come on down. We're here with Steve. Steve, tell us about towels. He'd be like, well, we've got great towels on special.

We've got all sorts of towels. We've got bath mats. We've got towels. Fire up the fabric. Hand towels. He'd be like, well, we've got great towels on special. We've got all sorts of towels. We've got bath mats. Don't forget towels. Fire up the fabric. Hand towels. Don't forget towels. Give them a hot wash. And I'm like, it's actually quite a good tip there.

Bath towels. Tea towels. FM. Want to talk about have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity? Now, this post came from the Rochester Police Department in New Hampshire. They posted a picture of a man who they were looking for in regards to a criminal trespassing case. Now this post has got

81,000 comments at last look because he looks the spitting image of Eminem. He looks just like Eminem. It looks like Eminem is breaking and entering in someone's backyard on security camera. You haven't seen it? On security camera. Yes.

It's not Eminem, but man, it looks like him. Has Eminem come out and said, he does look a bit like me, but that's not Eminem, but man, it looks like him. Has Eminem come out and said, he does look a bit like me, but that's not me. I'm not sure if he got tagged. Surely he would have seen it. He's got a comment on it. It's pretty funny. It's pretty funny.

this is Vaughn, and it's just a bald guy with a beard. And sometimes he's not even bald. He's just got like a hat or a beanie on and he's got a beard. And I'm like, take the beard away. We look nothing alike. They're like, no, it's in the eyes. I'm like, not at all. No, it doesn't look at all like you.

a lot her ex her ex-husband even mistook me for her once like no wonder they got a divorce he was not a pleasant man okay uh I'm Ginger I am Vorno back up what you said before Ginger's always get once. No wonder they got a divorce. He was not a pleasant man.

I'm Ginger. I want to back up what you said before. Gingers always get confused for other gingers. Someone asked if I was that girl off Game of Thrones once when I was working in a cafe. I was like, no. And later on I worked out they meant Sansa Stark. I was like, come on.

Right. Come on. Oh, because I was thinking Jon Snow's girlfriend or now wife, eh? Oh, yeah, true. Oh, yeah, yeah. But again, all look the same. I don't know. I'm kidding, obviously. Don't say that.

My brother-in-law gets mistaken for Richie McCaw all the time. Oh, yeah. The most awkward was when he was in a mall and a couple of old ladies approached him and he didn't know how to tell them he wasn't. So he just was for a bit. I'd pose for photos. Yeah. Oh, I'd walk into like that garage place and be like,

I need another garage. They're like, Richie, not again. You've had four garages already. But I need another one for my mate who doesn't live where I live. But come on, I'll show you where. I used to get mistaken for Eliza McCartney. This is the pole vaulter. Oh, yeah.

When I worked at the cafe in the facility she trains at, people would be like, oh, my God, do they make you work here as well? That's brilliant. What are you talking about? You're Eliza McCartney. No. Who is that celebrity? We were talking about it in studio off air the other week,

who documents, is it Tony Hawk? Yes. Who's been documenting, a skateboarder, who's been documenting all the times people say to him, you look like Tony Hawk. Yeah. Oh, it says passport. It happens at the airport all the time.

People are like, huh, Hawk, like that skateboarder. Because on his passport it says Anthony Hawk. Right. And yeah, he gets confused for himself all the time. And he doesn't know how to, he says it gets too far. He doesn't know how to tell people. And it's quite funny. He's just on Twitter the whole time, just, yeah. Detailing. It's pretty funny.

Yeah. My husband looks like Pity Weepoo. When New Zealand won the World Cup, everyone was so stoked for him. Brilliant. Someone said, when I'm in Australia, people often think I'm Russell Crowe. Really? Yeah. And somebody else said, Vaughan, can you

confirm for our friends in Dunedin if you are supporting Cannabash this year? Apparently there's someone that looks like me on a Cannabash poster. No, unfortunately not this year. Won't be attending Cannabash. Unless they've used your likeness without your authority. Imagine if it is me. Yeah.

What is Cannabash? It's a cannabis bash. Oh, okay. I don't think you bash. I'm just assuming here. I'm imagining it's some sort of like get together. Right. Like you know how they used to have the variety club bash? Oh, okay. I don't think you bash. I mean, I'm just assuming here. I'm imagining it's some sort of like get together. Right. Like, you know how they used to have the variety club bash?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Except cannabis isn't for kids and you shouldn't be driving around the country being like, no. It's cannabis. But what do they do? Just get stoned and fall asleep in a room. Well, that's what I did. And eat chips.

That's what I did. So that's why I wouldn't be a good ambassador. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is North Korea has given South Korea two dogs. Why? It's this weird semi-established sign of peaceful times between the two nations. Okay. Yeah, they give each other dogs. Some have said it's to put a pause

on the war. On the disagreements between the two. To put a pause. Okay, that's pretty cute. Yeah, it is pretty cute. They're pretty cute dogs too. I've never heard of this breed of dogs. They're pungs and hunting dogs. Oh, that's real cute. They look like what?

They look like coyotes. A little bit wolfy, a little bit husky-esque, shorter hair and all white. Pungsen, they came with certificates of pedigree too. But then that's in North Korea. He said he found a unicorn in a cave. So I don't know if you can really trust a certificate of pedigree. It's then that's in North Korea. He said he found a unicorn in a cave. So I don't know if you can really trust a certificate of pedigree. It's

probably just made on like publisher because they're probably still rocking Windows 95 in North Korea as well. So this kind of came to light after Donald Trump earlier this week claimed that him and Kim Jong-un fell in love. I know. That was weird. What does it even mean? He was like we wrote each other

letters. We fell in love. Yeah. We're in love. I don't know. And then he's like, the media will make a big thing out of this. Yeah, you just said you were in love with a dude that you were like swearing about. But then that's, you know, sometimes, you know, when you're young and you don't know how to process your emotions and you're the meanest of the ones you care about the most.

And sometimes you fall in love with a dictator that murders people. Even his own family. Yeah. It happens. Sometimes you fall in love with someone like doing nuclear tests. Yeah. That's just how life is. You can't help who you fall in love with.

Yeah. So these two dogs were given to the South Korean president. They were exchanged in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. They drove and met in the middle and they said, here are the dogs. Yeah. And here's three kilos of food to help them adapt to their new home. This is what we've been feeding them,

which is what always happens with dog breeders. And then you get them home and you're like, we better stick to that food. Google, Google, that's way too expensive. We'll just feed them the cheap stuff. Yeah, they'll just eat what they're given. They're not eating it. They're not hungry enough.

If they're not eating that, they're just not hungry enough yet. So they're called Gomi and Songgang. Those are the two names. This isn't the first time dogs have been switched between, switched or swapped, traded, gifted between the two nations. In the year

2000, Kim Jong Il gave two punks and puppies, same kind of breed, Uri and Duri, to South Korea. And then South Korea returned the favor with two Jindo dogs named Peace and Reunification. So wait, where do these dogs go? Well, the Pungsans were put in the Seoul Zoo. They were put in a zoo.

Oh, okay. They were, you know, treated very well, but they were so everyone could go and appreciate this. Right. Gift. Gesture. Right. Gift. Gesture. Yeah, right. This gesture from North Korea that they wanted a peace between the two.

Because imagine if you were South Korea and old Megan here, South Korea rocked up. And she gives you a, one of her stupid dogs. Oh, yeah. Want to get two of those. What have you got? Be John Griffin. Thank you for saying I was South Korea. I'd take that as an act of war.

Oh, no. You should be North Korea, actually. No. I'm not a dictator. Okay. I've just looked at the type of dogs that South Korea gave North Korea. Not as good? No.

I think they look a little bit cuter. What kind of dogs are they? They're called Jindos. Because then that would start a war. No, I like the North Korean ones. They're actually very, very similar. Those ones are ginger and the others are white. Yeah, called jindos. Because then that would start a war. No, I like them. They're very similar. They're actually very, very similar. Those ones are ginger

and the others are white. Yeah, they're whiter. But then these do come in a non-fawn colour. Right. That's the thing about ordering a dog. You never know what colour

it's going to pop out. True, true. You're going to have to dye that every month. I'm just joking. I'm going to have to take it to Rodney Wayne on the rig.

I'd never die a dog. You just heard me say about how I wouldn't buy it at the expense of food. Today's fact of the day is when North and Korea are trying to thwartize, as a word, they give each other the symbol of two dogs. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Just waiting for Vaughan.

Hi. Were you in the doing ways? Yeah, I was. But then I think it says bring your kid to work day. It's school holidays. Yeah, I know what I the thing is, is it bring your kid to work day? It's school holidays. Yeah, I know what I mean. There's like a bring your kid to work. Every woman with kids. God, is there?

Fletch. I was talking to some kids. Probably hear you out there. Hi. Hi, kids. I didn't bring mine. It's great that it's bring your kid to work day. God, I don't take any opportunity to show them off.

Do the trick. Do the trick, Dad. Torture. Get out of the air. You impress everybody. I'm sure they would have been stoked you bring Do the trick, Dad. Torture. Get out the air. Impress everybody. I'm sure they would have been stoked you bring them in at 5am. I know. Come on, kids, we're going to Dad's work. Yeah. I said, they said, can we come to your work one day these holidays? I was like, well, you'd

need to get up really early. And they're like, oh, we'll just go in. We'll just go in later. Go in later. Get Mum to drop us off or something at a decent hour. Um, shocked this morning before the show to hear that Megan and Caitlin are struggling at something that everybody should be able to do.

I mean, you're assuming too much if you think everybody can do this. Yeah, to be fair, I know I can't do it, so I don't ever try. But the reason we were talking about it is because Caitlin tried, and then she looked to me for help. I'm like, I don't know how to do that. Caitlin, what was the issue? So, I don't know how to do that. Caitlin, what was the issue?

So I don't have a car at the moment and I've been borrowing other people's cars but I just didn't have a car at all yesterday. Right. So I decided that I was going to learn how to use a bus. That's not learning how to drive a bus. That's just learning how to get on a bus. So I googled, how do I catch a bus? I've googled that before.

Because, to be fair, on my advantage, I have actually... In my defence. In my defence. In my defence, I've used a bus before. I used to use it in Wellington when I lived there. But I've had a car the whole time I've been in Auckland, so I haven't had to work out how to do it. You've never learned the intricacies of the Auckland Public Transport Network.

And I know that you can't use your FPOS card. Correct. No, you can't. But I think they should have PayWave. I think they should have FPOS. In big cities, you can PayWave at the turnstiles to get on the metro and stuff. Should be. A lot of places do that.

That's cool. So there's literally a bus stop. I walk out my door, there's a bus stop. Okay. But, what time does the bus come?

And which one? Where am I going? Yeah, you get on the bus and it could go anywhere. And there's lots of, there's not just one bus for Auckland. And then they have numbers.

How do I check where those numbers, like where do those numbers come from? You Google. Google Maps is amazing for public transport. I Googled it. Google Maps. What does the first thing say on Google?

Okay, it says route. And then there's like 600 different buses I can take. One is 926. Yeah, so what does that mean? It's just the number of the bus. Oh, is it? And then there's, okay, there's a map and lots of colour codes. What does that mean? No's just the number of the bus. Oh, is it? And then there's, okay, there's a map and lots of colour codes. What does that

mean? No, you've done, no, that's, no, we're not talking about Google. Go to Google Maps. The Google Maps app. Oh, I thought you meant just Google how do you catch a bus. You type in where you want to go and then you put from your current location and then it says, are you walking? Are you driving? Are you bicycling? Shut. Are you bussing? And you click

on public transport, which includes buses and trains. Because I walked under a bus. I got hit by a train. No. And then it literally tells you everything. Why did you not tell me this yesterday? I did. I said go to Google Maps.

You did not. No, I said go to Google Maps. You opened up Google again. Also, there's an app as well. So you can put in where you are, where you're going, that will do the same thing. Because when I Google it, it says ask a friend to help you, and my friends don't help me,

they ridicule. But then you get on, and as you say, unless you've got cash, and then you should see the look on their face, because I always jump on, I never have cash, so you've got to get like 20 bucks. Yep. You're like, hey there, uh, wherever you're going, and you've got to hand over the money, and they just go. Yeah. Well, they don't like carrying cash. Yep. You're like, hey there, wherever you're going, you've got to hand over the money and they just go.

Yeah. Well, they don't like carrying cash. See, I don't want to get on and get the. Oh, I always get the.

Because then I bought the hop card. I bought the card that you put the money on. And so you just tap it on. You tap on, you tap off. And I tapped on, I said,

me and wife, two kids, tap. You've got a car. Oh no, we were drinking. With two kids, tap. You've got a car. Oh, no, we were drinking. With your kids? Yeah. The RSA.

What, do you want me to leave them at home? That would be more irresponsible than taking them with us and showcasing why drinking's a bad thing. Look at how obnoxious Dad gets when he's had a few drinks. This is why you should avoid it. And then he was like, oh, oh, oh, you've tapped, oh, just, yeah, go on, oh, you've cost me personally $10. I was like, how did I cost you personally?
