Well, there's lots of unhappy people, full stop. With the World Cup, so the All Blacks here, that match has been cancelled. I'm not sure how, but I'm pretty sure Baby Boomers will blame Spark Sport for this. Probably.

They'll be very confused about the whole thing. Typhoon, though. Yeah, why did we have a World Cup in a country where there is typhoons? In typhoon season. I don't know. What is it? It's going into the autumn. Autumn's like,

you think about here, autumn's inclement. Yeah. Inclement. But it's never, have we had like a tropical cyclone? They're more of a summer thing. Do you think they're going into autumn?

They are going into autumn. Oh, they're going into autumn. Yeah, but I don't think they can. You can't predict these things. Yeah, they can't predict it. It's not like it happens every year. Well, leading up to the World Cup matches,

When we did the all women's show it was all about when's the all men's show so that's going to be happening on then. If only Dick Heads was saying that. I don't want them speaking on my behalf. Thank you.

Happy International Day of the Girl. Yes. The top six. Happy International Day of the Girl. The top six is coming up on the show. Prince Charles and Camilla, who also has a royal title. It's not princess. Duchess.

Yep. Of? What are they? Wales. He's the Prince of Wales. She's the Duchess of Cornwall. Yeah, why do I feel like Cornwall? Because once the title's taken, it's gone, right?

Yeah, she's the Duchess of Cornwall. Yeah, the Princess of Wales was die. You can't just hand over the title to... The post tense is dead, Megan, not die. Because I always wonder, do you guys get a post, like a tracking number for your courier package? Do you wonder if anyone's ever had that before? What?

That tracking number? Yeah. Oh, I hadn't even thought about it. Or are they all unique? Like Princess Di. They've got, she was her own special tracking number, wasn't she? She wasn't getting lost at the local courier post in Bata that much for sure. All right, you lot, listen up.

It's story time. All right, story time. Three news headlines. Interesting, quirky, unusual news stories that I've found online. And Vaughan and Megan picked one of the following three. Headline one, woman exhausted after 30 dates in two days. Good Lord. Headline two, man tries to 30 dates in two days. Good Lord. Headline two, man tries to turn down upstairs neighbour's noise.

And headline three, cute Labrador puppy turns bad. Oh. 30 dates in two days seems... It turns bad or it breaks bad? That's today, isn't it? Today, 8pm tonight, I finished it yesterday. Holy... I watched five episodes of Breaking Bad yesterday.

Thank you. And so Mr Toyboy watched the entire Breaking Bad. In like six weeks. And he loved it? Is he like hooked? Loved it. See, I reckon that's the best way to do it. He was like, should we dress up as like Walt and Jessie for Halloween?

I was like, yeah, but like lots of people. Oh, sweetie. You're on the bandwagon with Breaking Bad's like, yeah, everyone's done that years ago. Hey, we were doing that seven years ago. Yeah. For Halloween. Like you do it now. I mean, the movie's back.

This is really exciting. The thing I dress up as Walter White, you were still married to your last? Yeah, no, that's true. We went to the Gann. Husband won. What was that, the tea party? The Gann party.

And I was a car, I dress up as a car seat. But that was only a great costume when I kind of sat down. And when I was standing up, people were like, what are you wearing? But then I was like wait and I squatted and they're like ah I like that. Car seat.

Yeah car seat. That's good. It's a cheap costume. Yeah. Just get a car seat covered from Repco. Super cheap autos. Boom.

Done. Done. You're in. Ah yeah so that's 8pm tonight. Alcamino. Oh good. Okay. Well it says

the puppy then because you won the puppy story. That got us onto the Breaking Bad. Okay. We go to Oklahoma now where a couple were in their car with their seven-month-old Labrador retriever. Pretty cute. Is that what your parents have got?

They've got retrievers, eh? Not Labradors. My parents are dog-free. All three of their dogs are dead. When did that happen? Well, they were fat little doggies. They were fat little shitties because they kept getting into all the milk runoff

when Dad would like... But were they retrievers? Because he loved Labradors and retrievers. I think golden retrievers is just what... Americans call them Labrador retrievers. Oh, really? Don't the retrievers have the long hair? The retrievers have long hair

and Labradors have short hair. But there's a couple of other differences. But retrievers are pretty cute. But our dog's half retriever. What's his name? Ralph. Ralph. Half retriever.

Okay. Half poodle. Well, this couple were in the car with their dog when a nearby passing train spooked the dog and it stepped onto a gun on the lap of a woman in the car. Only in America. What happened?

Well, a gun went off. She shot herself? No, she didn't do it herself. Who shot her? The dog. That's on it. It went off. The dog shot her?

Yeah. She's bleeding pretty bad. I don't feel good. I don't feel good. I gotta lay down. Come off of it. You're't feel good. I gotta lay down. Come on, baby. You're tougher than that, I know. F***ing damn it.

If I'd been shot and my husband was like, come on, you're tougher than that, I know. I'd be like, do you want me to shoot you? And you can see how it feels. Did she, is she all right? Classic old mate. Yeah, she is. Okay.

Yep. Good Lord. That accent went so perfectly with that story. Didn't it. Yeah, she is. Okay. Yep. Oh, good Lord. That accent went so perfectly with that story. Didn't it? Yeah, didn't it? So paramedics rushed to the scene, and they took her to hospital where doctors kept her in for several days. She had surgery, and she is expected to be okay.

Right. And Molly, the golden retriever, is back at home with her family, and they're promising to keep her away from trains in the future. I'd say keep her away from guns would be more important, but no, blame the train, classic America. Police say they found three shell casings inside the truck, but they can't confirm how many shots were fired. It's odd enough the dog shot her three times or just one.

See, is that... That's where... Do you reckon these are the... Three shell casings? Yeah, is that... That's where... Okay, three shell casings? Yeah, something's amiss now. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know. I don't have the means to investigate it.

You say that he shot her. I'm saying that something else happened. Like, three casings. The dog couldn't have set it off three times, surely. Yeah. Well, I don't know.

But it's America. They just shoot out of the window, don't they? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Shits and gigs. He's been shooting out the window at road signs or something. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan. The podcast. A study has been done by the Daily Mail in the UK as to

infidelity from a female side of the situation. And that is why before I said one-fifth of women have had affairs is what they have done. Really? Okay. So have they not done the comparison in this article?

We don't know how many. I think we just know that they're always cheating. The guys. Sure. The survey reveals 40% of women have been unfaithful, but one in five have taken it fully to the next level. And 47% of the people who surveyed said their partners remained oblivious to the entire thing. So they still don't know?

No, they didn't know. And they kind of got away with it. Wow. So, I mean, that's why I think that's pretty high, isn't it? God, it's lucky you've got those security home security cameras, Vaughn. Yeah, but we're living in the outside room at the moment and there's no security cameras out here. The perfect time.

The perfect time. It's time to reassess my cameras. I don't think anyone's bringing anyone home to that outside sleep out, are they? If we're honest. Well, no, once you pass your teen years, probably not. No. It would be somewhat unsexy if a married man took you home to a sleep out, are they? If we're honest. Well, no, once you pass your teen years, probably not. No. It'd be somewhat unsexy if a married man took you home to a sleep out.

Yeah. Or if you're quiet enough, you can hear a rat scuttling across the tin roof. Yeah, great. So is that sexually unfaithful or is that... So the one in five full-blown sexually unfaithful. Right.

But 40% have said they've been unfaithful in some way. So it might have just been a little kiss, a little touchy. Do you think that females are better at being sneaky about it? Yes. Guys are a little bit more, like, useless at it. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. But I don't know why.

But apparently it was all to do with sexual satisfaction. Oh, okay. Right. Yeah, so they said they'd looked elsewhere because they weren't feeling sexually satisfied. Did you see Megan's look on her face then? She's like, I don't need to go anywhere. No, I was meaning I get it.

It's because, you know, like you need to always make sure that two people are happy in that scenario. Yeah. Not just one. Yeah, they said it has long been thought women will go elsewhere for an emotional connection. Right. But I know lots of women just have been, of these women surveyed, said that they had the affair for sexual gratification with no intention of, you know, leaving their partner because they provided for them emotionally,

but they just needed to be roughed up. Right. One of them said one woman said she needed to be roughed up. Well, happy Friday. Roughed up. Well, happy Friday. Roughed up. Yeah. But then that's a hard, because now guys are going to be listening going, oh my God, my woman wants to be roughed up.

No, but you. You need to talk about a rough up, pre-rough up. Don't wait till mid-rough up to talk about if they're enjoying the rough up. I don't think that one woman speaks for all. No, but there might be some women out there that are like looking at their partner now in the car being like, hey, did you hear that? Like she wants a rougher.

It's like is there something that you're missing in the boudoir? They don't want to rough me up is what she might be saying to him now. It's Fifty Shades of Grey's fault, isn't it? Yeah. Really? Before this, everyone was just like vanilla flavour

and now at the supermarket there's all these different flavours. Everybody wants a sriracha. I don't know how we went from ice cream flavours to like hot sauce. Yeah, I was going to say chocolate or yeah, sure.

Yeah. Really opened people's minds, didn't it? Yeah. She wants to be srirachered up. You're giving her vanilla ice cream. Can you stop ruining sriracha? Sriracha mayo?

She wants to be sriracha mayoed up. No, I'm not talking about like sex. I'm just saying, have you had sriracha? Yes. Sriracha mayo? She wants to be Sriracha mayo-ed up. No, I'm not talking about sex. I'm just saying, have you had Sriracha? Yes. Sriracha mayo? Yeah, it's yum. So, it's amazing. Yeah, it's like a little...

That's all I had to say on this. Oh, you're basically... Mayonnaise is magical. You need a mayonnaise in this. Have you had the bacon mayo? Yeah. Yeah, bacon mayo is good too. What about garlic mayo?

Oh, nah. That's yum. Yeah, that's yum. Isn't that just an aioli? Pretty much. It's on the road to aioli. They're made different. Eh.

Okay. What about Greek yogurt? Similar. No time for Greek yogurt. Garlic yogurt. What? Is there a thing? When you go to the kebab shop, hello, garlic yogurt's on the list of sauces.

Pick three sauces. Oh, yeah, that's a sauce. I was imagining it was, like, in the supermarket for you to eat. Oh, like beside the strawberry. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. I wonder what's wrapped in here. That's you every Christmas. I know what this is.

Very distinctive shape. That's not a, what shape is that? Like, it's not a rectangle. It's a... Coffin. Yeah, like it's a... A casket. A wedge-shaped, kind of a wedge shape, isn't it?

Would you say that? It would be a name for a shape. The favourites? Because you know when they're wrapped up, you're like, I know what those are. Good one, Mum. Great. That's what I said to Mum. I was like, this is really nice, but you don't need to wrap them.

Like, we know what they are. Just put a name on it Mum. I was like, this is really nice, but you don't need to wrap them. We know what they are. Just put a name on it so you have a sign, one each. But anyway, of course, it's the Cadbury Favourites, an absolute Christmas classic. Took over from the Box of Roses. Yeah. From a Christmas classic, didn't we? Roses are still a thing though, eh?

Oh, yeah, yeah. But they're not like, they're not favourites. Those are like mini chocolate bars, each one. Whereas roses are just like flavoured Little flavoured choccies So this is a limited edition This one This is the Kiwiana This has just been released

So this is what's inside Okay because they're a different type say Because I've just had to Google Because on that box There's no Cherry Ripe and no Turkish Delight Yeah this is what I'm saying This is limited edition by Glenn Jones And I think Glenn Jones does

art. He does Kiwiana art and there's actually, in this PR box we've received, there's actually some really cool chocolate fish inspired art. Of course. Chocolate fish, the little ones. Fletch thought it was a full-sized chocolate fish. You know, they're about to fit like four of them in the

box. I thought like in there there'd be one full-sized chocolate fish. No, it's the little spratty ones. So inside this is the small chocolate fish. Yep. A Cadbury Flake. I was talking to Indy the other day about Cadbury Flakes, my daughter. Yeah.

She's like, why is it? Is it a different chocolate? I was like, no, it's a mystery as to why it tastes better than ordinary chocolate. It does though, eh? Is it because it's waved? Because it's got air in it? Yeah. I said it's like grated cheese. You know how cheese tastes better when it's grated? She was like,

it's a mystery. And I said, you'll never solve it because I'm 30 years older and I've got no idea. The Morrow also in there. Now they've doubled down there's a Morrow and a Morrow Gold. Different, that's why. They're very different. They're both, but've doubled down. There's a Morro and a Morro Gold. Different. That's why. They're very different. We need both, but the great news is there's no boost bar in here.

Good. Crunchy makes an appearance. Your standard Cadbury milk chocolate. A picnic, which as I grow older, I appreciate a picnic. Picnic's great. A bit more. A bit of variety there. A bit of nut present.

Always good to have a bit of nut present. As I grow older, I do appreciate it. Always a nut present. Yeah. Morro Gold and the Caramello, which I'm a massive fan of the Caramello See that That's not I wouldn't go that favourites box

I'd go the one with The Dream The Cherry Ripe The Crunchy Picnic Flake Absent of white chocolate Yeah Completely absent of white chocolate

And you know me I'm the one in the favourites box That always has the Cherry Ripe And the Turkish Delight And some people like Yeah Yeah see Cherry Ripes I've grown to like Yep I'm the one in the favourites box that always has the cherry ripe and the Turkish delight. And some people are like, yeah. Yeah, see, cherry ripes I've grown to like. Yeah.

I still can't get my mouth around a Turkish delight. It's very easy. You pop it in. I know, yeah. It does. Sometimes if you don't get, like, a good Turkish delight, it tastes a bit soapy. And current geopolitical stuff with Turkey,

I'm not eating their delights. Until they what? Until they make peace with the Kurdish people. Yes, exactly. Yeah, I'll not eating their delights. Until they what? Until they make peace with the Kurdish people? Yes, exactly. Leave the Kurdish people the hell alone. Back off. Everybody get out of it. Get out of it and mind your own business.

So that's the one that's got a chocolate fish in it. I think this is a good across-the-board pleaser for a chocolate. Yeah, right, okay. Because they're all fairly heavy on chocolate. Well, let's be honest, it's chocolate. New Zealanders will buy it. Or eat it. Yeah, right, okay. Because they're all fairly heavy on chocolate. Well, let's be honest, it's chocolate. New Zealanders will buy it. Or eat it. Yeah, pretty much.

Was it Dunedin that did the police sting and they found someone eating a bowl of cereal and driving to work? Yes. It was, eh? Yeah, driving with their knees, yeah. That was like a month ago. Well, a study has come out showing, and not unsurprisingly, that eating while driving is incredibly unsafe.

It always blows my mind that we're allowed to technically eat but not use your phone. And they're all like over us for the phone thing. Yeah, I mean, the phone's not safe. I'm not saying that. I'm just meaning neither is eating. But that's why if like, how do you guys feel about when you're on a roadie and everyone's like, let's just pull over

in here, we'll get some burgers and then we'll just hit the road. Like, I'm always, if you're driving, you should be able to dine in, eh? Because I can't do a combo driving. Oh, no, absolutely not. I could eat a burger with one hand, but I've got the chips, because I always like to dip them in my sweet chilli sauce,

in my sweet and sour sauce. Unless you have the person in the navigation seat feeding you chippies. But again, I'd just rather take five. You're into some weird stuff. I'd rather just like the driver. Feed the seaman. When you're driving, someone feeds you chippies. No, I don't like that.

Because then you're driving and you're moving. You can have your own chippies. You put them in the cup holder and you know where the cup holder is so you blindly feel and you keep your eyes on the road. No, you've got to dip them in the ketchup. You've got to get the right amount of ketchup. Just squirt that in your mouth. And then you don't want your sweet and sour sauce going on the handbrake or the center console or the seat.

You should try it over the weekend. Make Sade like feed you in the car. It's weird, eh? See what happens. I'm always like, no. She would. She'd be. If I was like, feed me, she'd be like, no.

You don't have to feed me. Feed me while I drive. Feed me with all she'd be like, no. You don't have to feed me. Feed me while I dwibe. Feed me with all choppies while I dwibe. No, you should always dine in if you're on a roadie. Just take the 10 minutes. It's a good rest stop. Yeah. That's why you get like a saucy roll or a pie or something,

because you can eat it. A pie? Yeah. That's dangerous. You get a lot of flakes. I know you can do it, but there's a lot of flakes on the seat. Oh, yeah, you've just got to remember the next time you get out of the car, give yourself a good brush off.

Or one of those dollar vacuums at the service station. Or bougie. Should have brush off-led him, eh? No, I like the time challenge of the service station vacuum. It's like that with that car wash thing. You put your dollar in and it's like one minute and you're like, I bet I can do my whole car with this pink foam and this scrub brush. Exactly.

And you do a shithouse job and you blame the place, but you know it was you rushing and trying to save the dollar. Yeah, it's like a game show. 18% of all crashes, they say, are caused by distracted driving. Coffee and donuts, burger and fries, and candy bars are the worst offenders. Only because they're the things that you always eat when you're driving. Yeah, pretty much, yeah.

Because the chocolate bars are always on special at the servos. Drive-thru for the burger and fries. But if you want... And coffee and donuts. I can't believe pies and sausage rolls aren't on there. Well, this is from America, the study. Oh. So donuts gone.

Yeah, replace coffee and donuts with pies. And coffee. And coffee. Because, you know, you get one from, like, Wild Bean, and it's 8 million degrees when you first get it. Yeah. If you drink a black coffee. So then, yeah, okay, so the donuts, the pie, and I reckon the degrees when you first get it. Yeah. If you drink a black coffee. So then, yeah, okay.

So the donuts, the pie and I reckon the sausage rolls, the chocolate bar. Yeah. In this translation. And it's not millennials that are the worst at this. It is the baby boomers.

Really? That they say are the worst at eating and driving and having distracted accidents. My parents won't get food. No, mine won't. When they know there's food at their end destination, they'll eat before they leave

and they'll eat when they get there. Because my mum always arrives at our house, I'm like, coffee? And she's like, oh God, I've wanted one since we left home. I was like... Yeah, my mum says that too. You're like, you know that there's coffee out and about.

Places along the road. Oh, I'm not paying $5 for one. Yeah, I know that's what parents say. But that's like, every time we do a roadie, we have to stop, don't we? It's the rule. It's the rule. But is that because growing up, whenever we stopped at a servo,

we were never allowed anything? We weren't even allowed out of the car. Just petrol. So now every time I stop, I'm like, ooh, what can I get? Ooh, chow. Out of the bullshit. I can buy a slice because mum's not here. Yes.

Yes. And a Coke. And a... Sometimes I do feel like I need to ring my mum when I'm there though. Yes. Hannah Coke. Hannah. Sometimes I do feel like I need to ring my mum when I'm there though. I'm like mum tell me I don't need this thing. From the ZM Think Tank

this is the top six. Good morning. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be amongst 100 books translated into today or starting next year. Other titles including Marvel Comics Avengers vs X-Men series they're starting with first. That's cool.

Are they just going to do the Whitcalls Top 100? I mean, that's what you do if you want to move some copies, right? I'll get the Edmonds cookbook in there. Yeah. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. And the Sorcerer's Stone. Now, Fletch is worried that I'm going to offend people here. I'm just, yeah, okay.

But do you not remember we had the sit down? I know, yeah, we did. Where we talked about the language and everything. And it's better to be talking about it than not. A hundred percent. Yeah. And giving it a go. Giving it a shot.

With the whitest person on the show. The whitest person on the show. The whitest person on the show. I think we're all equally white. The DNA test proved it. We're all very British. Yeah, okay. We're trying. Think out of all of us,

you just go more red when you tan. It's the orange beard. I'll give you that. My beard does go ginger in the sun. It's slightly more gingery in the sun. Okay, so these are the top six Harry Potter quotes in today. Yeah, I just showed them to Caitlin and she said, so I've, these aren't,

because a guy called Leon Blake's translating the whole book and he usually translates educational papers and stuff. Oh, yeah, okay. So he said this is a bit different. So he's going to go through and translate the book himself, not just put it into Google Translate like I've done with these quotes.

That's a lot of work. Because that's something I'd do if I was asked to do all this work. I'd just translate it, copy and paste. Here you go. Because Google Translate's

kind of, it'll get the point across, but it's not always correct, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Have you been overseas? Because this happened to us in Bali,

and this guy was using the Google Translate, the app, where you literally speak into it and it will translate it and say it out loud to them. Amazing. I did that in South America. You literally just hold down talk and then they talk back to you.

You hold down and it's amazing. Wow. It's super duper. All right. So, Harry Potter met Fatu Manapu. As Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the top six quotes from the Harry Potter met Fatu Manapu. As Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the top six quotes from the Harry Potter series. He ruined the Harry.

I'm putting an R on there. It sounds a bit Scottish. It does, but it's only because you're saying huddy. Yeah, right. Huddy. Huddy. Huddy. Huddy. Okay. We're working on it. We're trying to better ourselves. We're all trying. We're getting together. We're getting together. We're putting our heads together. Number five on the list of the top six Harry Potter quotes in today-o. This one, I'll give you a clue. It's from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Okay. Okay.

Is that a clue flute? He kore utu te Dobby. Oh, Dobby. Something about Dobby. Dobby said it after he got given a sock. Dobby is free. Oh. Dobby is free.

That's cute. That was a nice one. It's hard because Dobby was at the end of the sentence. I'm very confused. Well, I'm just, again, this could be wrong. Yeah, right. But I've just put it into Google Translate. Right.

This one comes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So the last book in the series. This is one of the longer ones. Ka ori ko taku tamahene ko koe kuriuhā. There was no hints in there for me. Molly Weasley said it. It's... Fletch.

Wait, you know I don't Harry Potter. You know I don't Harry Potter. You know I don't Harry Potter. I don't know. It's not my daughter, you bitch. You remember in the last one, Molly Weasley steps up and it's against the woman

that was married to Tim Burton. Helena Bonham Carter. Yeah, and she like shoots a big spell at her and she's just like, bah! She's like, not my daughter, you bitch. And you're like, yes, get it, Mrs. Weasley.

This one also comes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This was said by Minerva McGonagall or Tina McGonagall as she's been known on the show lately. I don't know. I've always wanted to use that spell. That's when she's using some badass spells at the end too.

Okay, this one is said in every Harry Potter movie. And you can do the counting. You can do numbers. Yeah. Okay, this is on you. Ready? Yeah. Kau tahi ro'ia mo' Gryffindor.

100 points to Gryffindor. Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course it was. Oh, it's like one? After all, of course it was. Okay, and this one's one of the really emotional quotes from Harry Potter. This also comes from the Deathly Hallows, and it was said by Snape. R.I.P. Snape.

R.I.P. Ellen Rickman, who played Snape. It's a double R.I.P. R.I.P. After all this time, always said Snape. Remember? After all this time, he's remembering how he was Harry, how he saved Harry and he loved his mother and he was all doing it just because he loved Lily. It was emotional.

It was emotional. It was emotional. It was emotional. Yeah. It's going to be one hell of a read in Te Reo. And that is today's top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Intern Anya, we cross now to Intern Anya. Are you at the news desk now or the social media hub?

No. What male cologne was it? Givenchy for men. Flash, nice. Givenchy. Is that like my flash one? What's my flash one? Oh, yeah.

I didn't buy it. I've got to give it a real flash. What's my flash one? Everyone loves it. Came with a shower gel. Lynx? Africa? Africa. No didn't buy it. I've got to give it up. It's real flash. What's my flash? Everyone loves it. Came with a shower gel. Lynx? Africa? Africa.

No, yours is Africa. You got a Tom Ford roll on or something, didn't you? No, but he prefers his Lynx African body wash. Yeah, you guys stick with your classics. Stick with your classics. Yeah. So was that meant for your partner, Andy, or was that just like? I don't think so.

I don't think so. So, free. Is that what we're establishing? I can only assume. She's re-gifted you like a free gift with purchase. I'm not sure. I mean, there have been some other crackers over the years. My uncle got a Bic pen one year.

I'm holding a Bic pen. I tried this Bic pen, I'm holding. Like she'd stolen it from a bank or a hotel or what? I believe it was new. Oh, right. Okay. Practical, though. You always need a book.

Yeah. And when I was like seven or eight, I got a wee book, The Bikini Body Guide. Oh, my God. We do my ab exercises. Oh, my God. But see, that's not... How old was she when you were seven?

Oh, I don't know, like 75? What? How old is she now? Seven. She's 90 now. You're a bit older than mine. Get out of here. Yeah. It's not a competition of who's grandma's older. No, but I just assumed,

because when I was seven, my nana was like 60. I was like, there'd be no excuse. Yeah, right. Yeah, so that was a bit of a knock to the seven-year-old. Because grand-grands are pretty ruthless. They're renowned for being ruthless and not having that Yeah so that was A bit of a knock To the seven year old Because Grant Grant Seven years old They're pretty ruthless They're renowned For being ruthless

And not having that filter Yeah Yeah But I don't know I don't know She was old enough To be like Blaming that on

Old age We just Bless my Grand nana When they were alive That we'd just get cash And because My nana lived in England

It was amazing getting cash. Oh, because you get the pound. Because you take it into the bank and convert it, and you'd be like, Did she send it over in the past? Yeah, in a car. That would have been almost as expensive back in the day as actually how much she was putting in. Yeah, probably.

No, because she'd put in like 20 pounds or something. And you might get like 50 or 60 when you're a kid. I remember, yeah. You were just like, whoa, I'm rich. 30 cents for the pound. Oh, 30p for the dollar. And then you'd have to work out how many lollies you could get for that.

It was just amazing. All the lollies. Lots of lollies for that. But I don't even think, yeah, none of our grandparents ever did weird, unusual. My grandparents nailed gifts. They were all my grandfathers

both left it up to my grandmothers to take care of and they nailed it every time. Didn't your, which one brought you those camouflage shorts that time? Didn't you get camouflage? Remember you got some item of clothing? Oh yeah, Nana always bought us clothes. But I got camouflage shorts. That was when camouflage shorts were okay.

Yeah, I was about to say, you're saying it to Vaughn and he probably actually thought they were cool. No, but this was like in the mid-2000s. No, because everywhere we went, you're like, you can't see my bottom half. I was like, yeah. And then I stood behind a bush, like a short shrub, and then I was like, I'm floating. Because you couldn't see my shins down. So you're right, it was a great present for you.

Super, super great. The rest of us were like, okay, it's debatable. Yeah, what about your racist gran? Your racist gran? Your racist gran. What does she buy you? Just money. Just money and cards that's like a few months late. Okay.

Yeah. Although I haven't had money and a card for a while. Well, it sounds like Anya's really lucked out. Do you think she bought herself some perfume and then the gift with purchase she was like, oh, save this? I'm not sure. Or maybe she was like, she's a bit tomboyish. She won't see for him.

It'll do. The bikini body guide didn't work. I tried to make her into a princess when she was seven with this bikini body guide. Oh, my God. Okay, so we want to take your calls now of those really weird gifts that you've got from grandparents. Like maybe they, because, you know, they're old.

They don't know, do they? They might think this is a great gift. They don't know. They know? You're saying they do? They know, yeah. You're saying Anya's... It's just you get older and you're like, CBF, I would.

Yeah, oh, totally. All right, so 0800DARLS.M, you can text her as well, 9696. What are the weird presents that you've had from your grandparents? Talking about those odd gifts that you get from grandparents. Intern Anya has received a free gift with purchase, a male's fragrance. And a blue toilet bag. That was obviously a free gift with purchase as well. So we want to know from you what you got given by your grandparents

for a birthday gift or maybe a gift and you were just a bit like, okay. Okay, that's, okay. Is that odd? What's just happened is okay because you're a grandparent. You've got to pinch the pennies when you get to retirement

because you've got to live on your That's true. 100%. On the pension. On the pension and your KiwiSaver. Somebody messaged in, I got a half a pack of malt biscuits

and mixed nuts delivered to my eighth birthday party in a brown paper bag. Every Christmas and birthday, both me and my sister and our partners now, my nana gives us a lemon myrtle soap bar. I literally have a mountain of yellow soap bars in my bathroom cabinet as I don't use. Oh, because come on. What's that?

Yellow myrtle? Megan's the only young person I know that uses bars of soap. Can't be, because there's so many, like, bougie bars of soap in the supermarket. They're making a comeback. Anya's nodding too.

They're making a comeback. I don't care if bougie soap's making... Is it? Is that why? Because of the plastic. Yeah. I'm saving the environment. Will I refill my container up with my...

You know I bulk purchase my soap. Yeah, but the refill comes in plastic, doesn't it? Yeah, but I'm using the same one. Well, you can't take it straight from the detergent cow, can you? If you could, you would. I'm trying, I'm trying. Catherine, what did Nan get you? She gave me one sleeve of Britney Spears stickers,

which she divided up amongst me and my siblings. Okay. That's not the bad bit, though. The second bit was a banana. Oh, so she literally just looked around the kitchen and what she had. Yeah, she went through that junk drawer and was like, got some Britney Spears stickers,

got a banana, sorted. Wait, so one banana had to go between three kids? No, no, we got a banana each. Oh, okay, okay. But my siblings are both diabetic, so she's like, well, I can't give you chocolates. And I was like, you can give me chocolates. I don't have diabetes.

Okay, the other type of diabetes, thank you very much, type two. Give me a chocolate. Thanks for your call, Catherine. Mia, what did your grandparents or grandma get you? Morning, guys. Morning. Oh, so for my 12th birthday, my grandmother got me the Miller's voucher. It's an old ladies' store.

Oh, Miller's. Is it still around, Miller's? I think so. I don't know. I actually don't know. I live in Napier and it's no longer here. Oh, right. It's just like cardigans and like stuff, isn't it?

Yeah. Oh, and a mani-clue. I've got great news. Yeah. It's still around? I believe so. Yes, millersfashion.co.nz. Okay. Women's clothing. A great range at low prices. Still around I believe so Yes Millersfashion.co.nz Okay

Women's clothing A great range at low prices Have you still got the voucher Or did you find something? No I ended up buying socks with it Do you think someone Had given her the voucher

And she just regifted? I don't think so Because she was That was her store She passed now That was her store I love this store So so she will too. She's going to absolutely love this.

Hey, Mia, thanks. You're called Jessie. What did you get from the grandparents? Hi. So my grandmother was notorious for re-gifting used gifts. She gave me a dress book when I was seven that was nice and leather, but it was dated from the 90s, and she'd actually gone through and crossed out all the addresses

that she used before re-gifting it to me. Bless. Why would a kid need an address book? I don't know, but it was very sophisticated, kind of like a business address book, and I didn't know what to do with it.

It's a nice leather-bound book. She wasn't even trying, eh? Unbelievable. You could go to the $2 shop, like any kid would be she wasn't even trying, eh? Unbelievable. Especially when you could just, you could go to the $2 shop. Like any kid would be happy with anything from there, right? Like one of those $1, $2, $3.

Yeah, bubble gun or whatever, anything. Thanks, you called Jessie. Olivia messaged in, my nana gave me paper towels one year. They were wrapped up nicely though in her defence. My nanny gave me the Fifty Shades trilogy, but she'd made it clear, very clear,

that she'd read them first. How old? Is that an appropriate gift for like a... Don't know. Shoe polish? Got shoe polish one Christmas. Practical. My nana sent me, not long after I had my first baby,

a gift for the baby and another gift that said, for mum, and I opened it, and it was a stuffed toy pig in gym clothes that snorted. What are you trying to say? When I was seven my grandmother gave me a professional

watercolour painting kit that had clearly been re-gifted. For my 18th birthday I inherited my grandad's moustache monthly magazine collection. My elderly aunt

sends my daughter old lady knee-high stockings every year. You know the stockings that you'd wear under like a long skirt? Yeah, right. Every year. She's 21 now and has absolutely no use for the knee-highs. Never has. My grandma made me undies. That comes from a good place, though.

I need to see. Because that was back in the day where they didn't have anything. So like if you had an old shirt, I assume it would get made into undies. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, bless. My grandparents just re-gift us everything they won at the RSA raffles. Oh, yeah.

We've had waffle makers, toasted sandwich makers, even a meat pack once. That's pretty good. But I don't mind. I don't want them spending money on us, which is true. And those are practical gifts, aren't they? My nan's given me her hand-me-down clothes, but tried to make them look like they were new by folding them back to how they would be in a shop and sometimes putting a little tag on them.

She gave me a box load of pens once, an old box of chocolates where their chocolate had gone dusty. Oh, yeah. It goes white, doesn't it, but on the top, yeah. And she polished her shoes and got them resold and gave them to me once. Oh, yeah. It goes white, doesn't it? But on the top, yeah. And she polished her shoes and got them resold and gave them to me once. Oh, that's really nice. Yeah.

They're not the wasteful generation. They are not the wasteful generation. The America's Cup is now New Zealand's Cup. On his team, the Adams. Oh, beautiful connection. Long black celebrating already. Sports Talk. How are we doing, Takabash?

Spence. Well, we were going to preview the All Blacks game against Italy this weekend. It was meant to be tomorrow afternoon, but that game against Italy has been cancelled. That will now be a draw because it's typhoon season in Tokyo, in Japan. Imagine if it'll be like, you know in New Zealand we famously over-prepare for the storms that come to nothing, but the ones we don't prepare for end up causing the most chaos.

And you know what, a lot of teams, because it's fine for the All Blacks, we'll go through, but a lot of teams like Italy, they needed the points. And Scotland as well, their game against Japan, if that gets cancelled, Japan go through and Scotland go home. Yikes. So they want this

game, they want their game to go ahead. Well, joining us on the phone. It's crazy. To talk about rugby, not specifically the game that won't be happening. Yeah. But a voice of our rugby youth. Yeah. Used to commentate all the games.

John McBeth, good morning. Well, hello. 1987. 1987, I was the voice of that first Rugby World Cup on radio in New Zealand, and we had no idea what the Rugby World Cup was really going to turn out to be, and look at it now.

It's just captured the whole sporting world, and we're loving it and looking forward to the All Blacks dealing to Italy and getting through to the All Blacks dealing to Italy and getting through to the next stage. What was it like? You've been there since the start of the World Cup. What was it like in 1987?

Because it was in New Zealand. There hadn't previously been one. Was it kind of maybe we'll do this once and see how it goes? Well, that's exactly what it was. You know, the Aussies and Kiwi administrators got together and decided it was a great idea, and they had to fight against the negativity of the Northern Hemisphere groups, particularly Scotland and England, who didn't think it was a good idea.

They put it on in New Zealand. We wondered whether it was going to be a success. The opening game was, you know, All Blacks against Italy, coincidentally, and the crowd turned out there and once that game had gone and we had some spectacular tries and the All Blacks were playing this magical brand of rugby everyone realised that the World Cup

was going to be something special and that it would continue and it has it's just got better and better and lesser teams are winning games, those that didn't even exist really in those 1987 matches are playing tremendous rugby and one of them might even end up being in a quarterfinal against the All Blacks.

Japan, of course. The Blossoms have had a hell of a World Cup. Probably helps that it's on home soil, do you think? Oh, yes, without doubt. And there's been a lot of criticism, you know, from so many negative buggers out there, aren't they? You know, trying to dig into the All Blacks and upset them. But one comment has been that there were so many overseas players,

non-Japanese-born players playing for the Japanese. But if we go back to, say, 1995 in South Africa, the All Blacks beat Japan by 130 points. And look at them now, Japanese, beating the likes of Ireland and Samoa. So the development through the Rugby World Cup has been fantastic. And in a couple of generations, Japanese will be, you know, fully Japanese-born team, I would say. So it's been real positive. So obviously there's a lot happening with the cancelled games and the impending typhoons. Is it too early to say who's going to be in the semifinals and finals?

How do you think this is going to play out? Well, I think that most of those that get through the quarterfinals are going to be top contenders. There are some that you would say are getting there just into the quarterfinals and won't make any further, but you just can't underestimate the likes of France, for example, who underperform all the time, and then we know what they can do in the quarterfinals

because they've done it to us before. And all you need is for the referees to be taking a lot of notice of all this, you know, let's get the All Blacks. The All Blacks are untouchable. They never get red carded, all that sort of stuff. We just need someone to get out there and blow a couple of red cards on one team and the lesser team might just get through and win.

And obviously that's what a lot of the countries are hoping will happen to the All Blacks because some of them just believe that the All Blacks are beatable if they've got 13 players. Get a couple of them off. You're actually travelling to Japan next week, John. Yeah, away on Wednesday. We're picking up, my wife and I are leading a group of 35 people

and we're going to land in Tokyo on Thursday and we'll see two quarterfinals, including the New Zealand game and then the two semifinals and the final. So I'm starting to get quite excited about that. But I've done it before. With 2007, we landed on a Thursday in Wales and saw Aussie get smashed, and then we saw France beat New Zealand in the quarters.

So we know what can happen, but we're buoyant and ready for a good holiday no matter what. Fantastic. Have you obviously been to Japan before? Not often. In fact, once, so that's not often, is it? No. Yeah, yeah. And only for a weekend of sevens a few years ago.

So no, it's going to be a real experience for me. And I'm just looking forward to all that stuff that goes with Japan. You know, great food and lovely sightseeing and the odd drink here and there, which hopefully won't give me a hangover. And we toss a bit of rugby in as well it'll be great they do a wonderful whiskey in Japan

John I don't know if you're a whiskey man I know yes and I'm partial to a nice whiskey I've coming in through

duty free I've travelled into Scotland quite often and you know first port of call oh here's here's a distillery let's try this one.

So I'm looking forward to the Japanese stuff. Good man. John McBear, thank you so much for having a chat to us. It's been a delight. Thank you, guys. The Great Nelson Pre-Set Reset. Well, Megan's parents put up a billboard. It didn't do anything.

Well, it did. We got one listener. But we are the 13th favourite breakfast show in Nelson, the small town at the top of the South Island. Beautiful town, it did. We got one listener. But we are the 13th favourite breakfast show in Nelson, the small town at the top of the South Island. Beautiful town. Beautiful place. Some have said pathetic. And I've said, hey, I won't have you say that about Nelson.

Not last. Well, we're trying our hardest to do better than 13. Yesterday, Megan, your mum gave us a great review of the number five Breeze breakfast show with Dave Dobbin, some old bangers on that show. Lots of local content. The guy had a sexy voice. The guy had a sexy voice.

To be honest, I think that might be where we're falling down. I've tried dropping an octave today. And being a lot sexier on the radio. But it's a little bit harder. Oh, it's a bit hard, isn't it? Fletchwater vegan. Fletchwater vegan, good morning. Is that doing it for people?

I mean, it's better. Is that doing it for people? I mean, it's better. Is that doing it for people? I don't know. I prefer this. You like it? Now, Producer James, you're going to patch us through to Nelson to the 12th favourite breakfast show. One above us.

One above us. So whatever they're doing, they're doing it a little better than we are in Nelson. Okay. What is this station? Jorge? George. George FM. in Nelson. Okay. What is this station? Jorge? George. Georgie Femme. George Femme. Yeah. Favourite station for tradies who love a ping as a pie

and a V for breakfast. Big tradie station. You don't need a pinger and a V for breakfast. It's doubling up. It's one or the other. Okay. So, yeah, patch us through to that. Okay. Jesus Christ! It's 7.46! I'm awake!

You've got to drink your Monster Energy drink and smoke your durry. People seriously listen to this in the morning. Oh, they're still talking. Wait, listen.

Oh, we don't have those. You can't hear them over the music. Oh, they've got voting. We don't do voting. Have your say. Top three songs. Awesome. It's going to be a big day tomorrow.

There's a lot of talking about the music. I'm turning them off. What have you heard enough to... I've heard enough loud music, loud bangers, and we talk over the songs. We don't, every time we finish a song,

we don't have Lizzo being like, hey, this is Lizzo. That's a problem. Well, we could easily get that. Okay. Easily. Do we have any of those? Do we have any of those, James?

How do you get Lizzo to say we're cool at the end of a song? Like an artist drop or something. Yeah. If I was called K-9, that could have just been anybody with an English accent saying that. Yeah, I don't know what K-9 sounds like. You do know what K-9 sounds like? No idea.

No idea. I don't know. Al maybe has something like that. I don't know what canine sounds like. You do know what canine sounds like? No idea. No idea. I don't know. Al maybe has something like that. I don't have any artists saying their name. I know it's been a while since you've been a DJ,

Vaughn Ox. You know, I've upgraded. Have you? What are you now? I'm Vaughn HDMI. I'm not an Oxcorn anymore, mate. I'm HDMI.

I'm visual and audio. I feel that you should bring back DJ Vaugh'm HDMI. I'm visual and audio. I feel that you should bring back DJ Vaughn HDMI because we've got Friday Flashback coming up. Are you coming for a remix? I'm saying why don't you remix

my Friday Flashback after the news at 8 o'clock and do it in the style of the number 12 breakfast show in Nelson because this could be what we need to pick it up. Yep. Just a little bit. More beats.

We talk over the songs. Maybe mix in some ZM. Faster BPM. Up the bit. Up the BPM. Get some ZM. You know how they go, ZM, ZM. Yep.

Get those things in there. Remind people what they're listening to constantly. Yeah. In case they've forgotten. Yep. All right, we'll do that. We'll do that. I'll go get the decks.

Next on the show, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern. She's on the decks? Actually, she is a DJ. Of course she's a Prime Minister. She used to get on the decks. We can ask her for some tips.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Joining us on the show now, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Happy Eve of maybe getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

We had to bring it up. We had to bring it up. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure what I meant to say next. Are you, like, even just the fact that Time magazine put you in one of their favourites list? Like, I mean, I know that you're very humble and you think that you're just doing your job and everything, but it must be quite flattering to even be spoken about the potential of getting one.

I just don't know what to say when people bring it up. Yeah, I mean, I was doing my job. And when I think back to that period, it was just, like, you know, all I think about are the families and just how horrific that whole period was. And so then to think of it in terms of people talking about it in that way, I just don't know what to say. And also, I'm a Kiwi. You know how we are.

I was going to say, I think there's a classic old Kiwi saying often muttered by my grandfather that sums it up, just another day. Yeah. Just another day at work. Yeah. Yeah. And so, yeah, so I've, and obviously I also think that,

I think there's been some amazing contributions to the world in the last year. So I'm looking forward to congratulating a very deserving winner. What about if Greta wins, Greta Thunberg? Would you be happy with that, obviously? Yeah, look, absolutely. And that, I think, would be an acknowledgement that, you know, the contributions that we need in the world aren't just around peace

and our old versions of war and so on, that actually there are some new threats that we have to tackle. And she's incredible. And she's obviously very young as well. So a big contribution there. Now, another issue facing New Zealand, you may not be aware of this, Prime Minister, but in Nelson, we are the 13th most favourite breakfast radio show,

second from the bottom. It's quite an issue for us and some Nelson constituents. Do you know what's going on there? Well, no. We've got no idea. But we've just had a listen in to a couple of the breakfast shows above us in the ratings. One of them is Georgie Fam.

And so very soon, Vaughan is going to get on the decks. And we thought, seeing as you're on the phone with us, you have DJ'd in a past life. I've been laughed at by the Prime Minister. Do you have any DJ tips for Vaughan? Don't. Really thought there was going to be more to that. No, I'm going to keep it nice and simple.

Just don't. Because what's yours? Do you have a deck of choice? Like, we've got a new, a what? A new mark. A new mark. What's that? No, see, of course, no, I don't have a deck of choice.

I wouldn't have an answer to that question if you asked him. He's a real DJ. Did you use clown sticks? I was never a real DJ. Oh, so you never had a DJ name? More broadly, stick with New Zealand, maybe. Stick with Serato, obviously, New Zealand. Oh, okay.

I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. That's good, though. Right. But then... I just don't. Just, guys, stick with your strengths, you know? We don't know what those are.

Obviously, they're not Nelson-based strengths. No. As 13th in the area. What else has been on the agenda? What else have you been dealing with this week? This week, of course, we were... Thank you for asking. We were dealing with the Crown Finances,

which is a hot topic of conversation that is not going to lift your ratings. Oh my God, that sounds so boring. I just heard our eight Nelson listeners switch off. I've got your backs, guys. I've got your backs. Well, I know you're very humbled, but all the best, Prime Minister,

tomorrow for that Nobel Peace Prize announcement. All the best. Oh, that's most kind, but there won't be happening,. We're all the best. Oh, that's most kind, but there won't be happening that think you're all the same. Just another day. Just exactly. Hey, guys, I'm down in Nelson next Friday.

I'll put in a video for you. That's when we're there. We're in Nelson next Friday. Oh, dear. Our worlds have collided. Oh, next Friday? Oh, I mean No not next

Just a Friday Well okay This is great We might have to arrange A prime ministerial Motorcade visit We can help each other Because that's a national

Strong seat isn't it? Nick it's a Nick Smith For the moment It's an interesting seat If anything could happen I would say But Okay

And there'll be no There will be no The last thing you want to do Is a motorcade Well we could get some Quid pro quo thing. And there will be no, the last thing you want to do is a motorcade. Well, we could get some quid pro quo thing happening. That's all the rage at the moment, isn't it? A bit of quid pro quo. Pro Minister, thank you.

Thanks a lot, guys. Talk soon. Friday Flashback. I'm so excited for this. All right, it's my pick this week for Friday Flashback, and we're going back to a song that is 10 years old. It was released in October in 1999. Now, if you've just joined the show,

we've been mentioning over the last week that we are the 13th favourite breakfast radio show in Nelson. We've been listening to other shows in Nelson that are doing better than us. To get tips. Yeah, we tuned in before to, I believe it's, is it Jorge FM? Jorge FM.

Jorge FM. This was George FM earlier. So many beats per minute. So many beats per minute. And they talk over the songs and they... You can't see the gesture Fletcher's doing with his hands. Yeah, they're really energetic for this time of the morning. Really gets you jazzed.

Vaughan has decided to come out of retirement. And you've actually... Because you played Deep Heart and Funky in 2002? Mate, it was a blurry time. Blurry time, mate. I remember a lot about the early 2000s. I remember I had that fake British accent for a while there. That went down a treat.

It was like, get up, are you ready? Like that was a real goer. Yeah, okay. Played a couple of those big dance parties. What was that one we liked called? Tangy Apples. Played liked called? Tangy Apples. Played a couple of Tangy Apples. At Mount Smart, Tangy Apples.

Yeah, Tangy Apples used to go bloody balls to the wall. Tangy Apples 05. Was that the last one that got cancelled? Well, you'll remember what happened at Tangy Apples 05. There will be certainly no mind. In fact, even mentioning Tangy Apples is probably going to be struck off some lists. And you've actually rebranded. You're not called DJ Vaughn Ox anymore.

No, well, I'm better than an Ox Chord now. I'm an HDMI. I do, because I've got quite a good visual display. Okay, so DJ Vaughn HDMI

is on the decks. James, the producer, has bought in awesome decks. And you are going to play my Friday flashback, but you are going to remix it

in the style of the show that is 12th favourite radio show in Nelson. So that we leapfrog. Yes. And go up. Okay. All right.

So, Vaughan HDMI. Let me just, it was this. ZM. Yeah. Oh, wait. Do you have the air horn? Yes. Sure do, pal.

Holy shit. I am excited for this Sure do, pal. Holy shit. I'm excited for this. Okay, don't worry now. This song for Friday Flashback made it to number one in Norway, Ireland, and the UK. New Zealand, 26. But we liked it. You will know this song. Today's Friday Flashback.

Hold on. DJ Vaughn HDMI cord is Darude Sandstorm. Sandstorm. Sandstorm. More of those. And you've got to talk. You've got to do your accent.

It's going very fast. Zit-im. Zit-im. Zit-im. You've got to shout out your DJ name too. Vaughn HDMI. This is for all those that survived Tangy Apples in 05. There's only four of us left.

Who knew bringing a dolphin to a rave was such a bad idea? Okay. I love how James comes in every time you change the pitch. Ready? Let's do it what's that i'm not taking requests i'm an artist not a bloody jukebox. That thing doesn't work, James. Still not working, James. God, it's hard to get a good stagehand. Here we go. Z.

I bought a farm to escape it. I bought a farm to escape it. I've just been offered a Sunday gig at Chapel. I'm not talking about that. Don't get me out of this. Back into my black. I'm topless. I'm topless.

I'm going back into my uniform of just black, long sleeves. I'm topless. I'm topless. I'm going to be back into my uniform of just black, long sleeve shirt. I'm sorry, Charlotte. I'm so sorry. I went back there. I'm a bad person. You put your shirt

over top of your headphones. I just need to get it out and sort myself. All right. Beanie. And... As I was just a part of the radio show

where we listened to Vaughn get changed. Done. Done. Not for you then, mate. and as I was just a part of the radio show where we listened to Vaughn get changed done done not for you then mate not the lifestyle I can't go back there no I've been there done that

that's not for that's no Vaughn little flashback little flashback but no I'm done now there is a a call

a casting call for the Lord of the Rings TV series that we would like to talk about now because we knew that this was happening. Filming out just down the road. West Auckland. Yeah. And you actually could be

someone they're looking for because they have put out a call of what they are looking for for the new Lord of the Rings TV show and you have to have a specific part. They have confirmed that agencies are looking for people and they include all ages and genders from

multiracial backgrounds with interesting character faces and physicalities. And that includes beds. So Vaughan, that's why I was thinking that's good for you. Examples of people they're looking for. Character faces. Earthy, weathered,

dark skin tones, missing teeth, wonderful noses. Wonderful noses. Wonderful noses. What's a wonderful nose? Here's where you fall in. Biker hairy men. Bearded hairy biker men. Thank you.

Woman slash other. Tall, lean, androgynous looking people. Okay. Tall. So the tall, lean, androgynous people are elves. I'd say so. Yeah, that's going to be the elves. The first ones you described sound like the weathered sort of humans

because like all the villager looks and stuff in the original Lord of the Rings, all the humans were, you know, dirty and medieval looking. And I'm guessing the more dirty weathered looking humans I can find in New Zealand, the less makeup that they need to put on, right? If you're really weathered, you just need a little bit of thin Lizzie

and you're on set. Yeah. Whereas if you have some youthful looking skin, it's probably going to take a bit more. Beautiful people. Here we go.

Here we go. Finally, someone on the list I can exclude again. Fair, fine boned faces. So if you don't have a jawline, you're probably out excluded again. Fair, fine-boned faces. So if you don't have a jawline, you're probably out. R.I.P. So are you supposed to go to the casting call

and say which category you fall under? Or like, I'm here for the beautiful people audition? Well, I think it's... Yeah, I don't know if you're meant to have an agent or what, or you just turn up. They're also looking for very short people as well as very tall people. Over 182 and over 200 centimetres. looking for very short people as well as very tall people. Over 182 and

over 200 centimetres. What's the short people requirement? Just short people. Really? Drew, can I get that into the shortness? Oh my god, they're also looking for circus performers who can juggle and walk on stilts. I can walk on stilts! You can walk on stilts. Oh my god. Why would they want jugglers?

Like, maybe there's a scene where they go to a village and someone's juggling fish or something. I don't know. Ah, yes. The famous Lord of the Rings fish juggling universe. Well, they didn't have tennis balls, did they, in 100 BC? Right. No, they can't.

We could totally. Vaughn's under the biker hairy guy. I can walk on stilts and you are? An elf. An elf? Elvish. An androgynous one. I could grow a beard.

When do they need this by? Oh my God, can you please grow a beard? I just need to see it. Nah, because it gets itchy. And I always just see Vaughn with food stuck in his beard, so I'm like, it's a turn off. That's an option though. You don't have to do that.

I just choose to. That's the turn off? Oh, right, okay. Just when he's got food stuck in his beard, that's the turn off. That's the only thing. That's why I have the food stuck in my beard. Yeah.

Remove the... Temptation from flesh. But what... Okay. What if... If you're listening now, what's your unique look? Your USP about your... Yeah, yeah.

What's your unique selling point? Isn't it weird when they say the thing about the... Like, the way they put that? Like, wonderful noses. Well, they don't want to say weird noses. Yeah, but that's what they're looking for. They're like, do you want a lumpy or a big one or a bent one or a...

Yeah, like an old man nose. When do they go lumping when you get old? So on Dr. Pimple Popper, she reckons that's all like blackheads and stuff. She reckons that some of that could be avoidable. Your nose and your ears don't stop growing, right? No. What do you want to hear from people that have a unique kind of a physical feature?

Yeah, what's your look? Like an extra finger? Yeah, that would be nice. That kind of thing? Yeah, sure. Okay, do you have... Webbed toes? Do you have a...

You've got, though. Do you have a unique feature, a body feature, that you could take to the new Lord of the Rings TV show? Let's do a casting. I knew someone that had a birthmark on their head and it meant the hair that grew out of that spot was grey. Because, I don't know if you're familiar with X-Men, the Anna Paquin character, Rogue.

Yeah, that's not real. No, I know, but that's what people thought. They thought she was trying to copy the movie. And she's like, I had this before the movie. I was born with this. I was the OG. Okay. Well, let's take some calls. 0800 dials at him.

You can text him as well. 9696. Do you have a unique physical feature? Maybe a body part that could get you a part in Lord of the Rings. Let's open up and share now. And Megan's already opened up with her web toes. Fleshforn and Megan. already opened up with her webbed toes. Flesh, fauna, Megan, the podcast, ZM. The casting call has been made for the Lord of the Rings TV show

to be filmed here in New Zealand, in West Auckland it'll be filmed, and they are looking for, well, people with different features, physical features. Unique selling points. They call them wonderful noses, but I'm guessing what they mean is maybe you've got an unusual, maybe it's a wonky nose, maybe it's a different shape. Yeah.

Or something. Tall, androgynous looking people. Tall people, short people, hairy people. Hooray. People that have stilts still in their garage that their dad made them, Megan. Yeah. I can't believe you are always like, oh, Vaughn, you hoard so much shit. You're a hoarder and you've still got stilts.

When did you last get on stilts? Oh, I don't know, a while ago. But then Lord of the Rings makes a TV show and they need stilts walkers and I'm like, you're ready to go. This is my time. And she said she's going to put the stilts on this weekend and put her like extra long pants on

to make her look like she's got really long legs and she's going to walk into the house. And they're like, hello. Maybe we could start representing people and be their agents because we're asking you to call us now with your physical features. Your unique physical features. Kate, what's yours? I was born with two different coloured eyes.

Oh, what's that called? Hetrichromia. Hetrichromia. So what if you're bichromia? You're into both. You're curious. I don't know. You tell me. So what do you

put when you... Is it your passports? I just put multicoloured eyes. Because I don't really define. That's so cool. I've met one other person in my life with it, but that's all. Have you... Because you know huskies get this quite a bit. Yeah, I get referred to, I'm a vet nurse,

so I get referred to it a lot as animals having it. Because then would you get a dog that had it? Because then you both have bonded. Well, you have a kinship with a husky. They say pets are like their owners. Yeah, just shortcut it. Brilliant. Yeah. Hey shortcut it. Brilliant. Hey, Kate, thanks so much for your call.

AJ, what's your unique... G'day, mate. G'day, mate. G'day, mate. I'm over two metres tall. That's what they're looking for. So they're looking for taller people, six foot eight plus plus. Is that what that is?

Six foot eight plus plus isn't like just taller people. That's very tall people. So do a lot of people ask you to like change light bulbs or something on the ceiling? I don't know. All the time they're like, because I work in fire alarms so they're like, oh you can just change the battery on the fire alarm without a ladder.

Is that why they hired you? Because they don't have to buy new ladders? Yeah. Aluminium's very expensive these days. Very hard to come by. You're not wrong. AJ, thanks for your call, mate. Some text messages. Somebody said, I've got a bent nose from an old football injury. Also,

one white eyebrow and a dimple chin. One white eyebrow? That's right up their alley what you've got going on there. That's exactly what they want. But then do you want to be known like that's, like it's a compliment but then it's not because you're on the Lord of the Rings TV show being a freak show? I'm not saying they're a freak show but that's why

they want you. They'd exaggerate it. Yeah, like what if you're getting to make them. You've got to embrace your differences, don't you? And you're getting paid too, aren't you? Yeah, exactly. And I heard the catering at these things is next level. Really? Well, one of the places, one of the restaurants, one of the good restaurants out Cumie where they're filming it's shut.

They're just like, we're just going to be caterers from now on. Hashtag set life. That's what I'd love. Yeah. As an extra. Yeah. But then I don't know if you extras get to eat at the Good Caravan with the main actors. Oh, right.

Okay. Just get to, I don't know, just pick up the table and have some garlic bread. Somebody said that they're very, very short and they've got no jawline. Is there any role for them? Well, they said jawline. They said bare, fine-boned faces, but that was under beautiful, so you could just be under

the smaller people. There's probably alright. It doesn't say small people with or without jawlines. And also musicians, by the way. They're after musicians. But probably guitarists. Not DJs. Yeah. Well, I've said goodbye to that laugh, Megan.

Of course you have. Hasn't it been a wonderful podcast so far? And it's all thanks to Spark, our primary sponsor. Do you love free data? Then you will love the Spark data stack. More data every month that you stay. Hey, guys. Let's get back into that podcast.

Fact of the day, day got two Do I want to give you the choice? Or do I? No, I'm not going to Give us a choice Okay, what? Just you pick what's best You know best I'm going to save one for Monday So that means I have to do less work

I like that On Sunday That's clever thinking Today's fact of the day is Orange juice saved a Costa Rican national park. Really? Correct. Is this the national park where I saw the jaguar?

I don't know. What was the national park called? Were you... Manuel Antonio National Park. Not that one. No. It's a beautiful country. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It wasn't that one. There's heaps. It's a beautiful country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't that one. So in the mid-1990s, 1,000 truckloads of orange peels and orange pulp, which were leftover residual byproducts of making orange juice, they didn't have anywhere to dump them. Now, there was a part of the Costa Rican National Park that had been cleared to try to be made into farmland, but they couldn't get anything to happen there. Really? It wasn't growing the grass well. Oh, yeah.

So they're like, let's just abandon that. So they cleared it all and then discovered it wasn't going to grow and then were like, whoopsies. How great are humans, eh? Hey, animals, we're setting this on fire, run! And the animals are like, no warning, no warning. And then they're like, oh, animals, you can come back because we couldn't get it to big grass.

And the animals are like, phew, are you planting more trees? Humans, where have you gone? And then the humans came back years later with 1,000 truckloads of orange peels and orange pulp and they just dumped it there. Now, we don't know if they dumped it there because they were being like, we've got nowhere to put these orange peels.

Which is right up humans' alleys. It really is, yeah. Right in the human wheelhouse to be like, should we drive up that road and just dump it? So what they did is they drove up the road, but they only dumped it on one side of the road that went up the middle of this cleared, this area that had been cleared. And they just dumped it all there and left it.

And then they were like, that was a great place. So they kept taking truckloads and truckloads back. Now, it is an absolutely thriving forest. And they've got an bird's eye view of the side of the road where the oranges were dumped and the side of the road where the oranges weren't. Oh, wow. Oranges.

Oh, wow. Not oranges. Not oranges. The not oranges never grew back. Never grew back to the healthy forest it was before clearing. So you're saying composting. For some reason, these oranges. But when you're, this is the interesting thing

because when I'm into a bit of composting, they tell you not to go OTT with the citric acid. Oh, okay. They tell you not to go too much with the lemons and the oranges and everything because the worms, it gets too acidic for the worms. Right. Huh. So.

Good on Costa Rica. What happened? Well, good on, not really because they were just like getting, just dumping their rubbish. But yeah, they were just like getting... All things grew back. Dumping their rubbish. But they haven't burned it down again yet. No. Because now that they're like,

well, orange juice made that fertile soil good. Maybe they'll burn it all down again and chuck it with oranges and this time plant grass instead. Classic humans. Classic humans. So today's fact of the day is orange juice saved a Costa Rican forest. Fact of the day, day juice saved a Costa Rican forest. Fact of the day!

Day, day, day, day! The podcast ZM. I'm excited after the show because I'm going to Vaughan's farmlet. Oh, farmlet. Because I want to pat the new cows. I don't know if there's anything. And I've been told. I can't promise there's pets in the cows. They don't like to be pats. They're just getting used to us.

I haven't even met the goats. But this is what I wanted to talk about now because yesterday, behind the scenes. I can't remember if it was behind the scenes or not. Or was it on air? So it was when we were talking about the cows, someone, I said how I'd been getting some questions and someone said, are you going to milk them?

And I said, I guess you could, but that'd be weird, but you'd have to get Hermione in calf. That's our cow. And I said you can milk anything with nipples. And I think I said you could milk, could you milk the goats? Because get goat's cheese. Famously milk goats.

Goat feta is delicious. So I said, well, Helen would have to have a baby goat and I don't think we need a baby goat. And people started messaging in saying that goats

don't need to be in kid that's pregnant to start producing milk. They just can be stimulated. Somebody said their lambs got into the paddock with their goat and, like, nuzzled at the goat's teats.

And then, like, the next day they saw them feeding off the goat and the goat was, like, feeding the lambs because it had, like, kicked in its motherland instinct. I gave it a Google and apparently that's why they call them nanny goats is because they can, like, nanny any kids in there. Well, let's just turn the music off because last night on the group chat,

it got a bit weird, didn't it? I was concerned. What did you do last night? I milked my goat. I milked Helen. It was so weird because I've noticed lately when she's walking away, because goats, cows have four teats on the big udder and goats have two. Yeah.

And I've noticed when she's been walking away that one side she walks a bit like a wider gate. Oh yeah. And she's full of milk. Well, and one side was large and one side wasn't.

Yeah. And so I said to Indy, got back yesterday after school holidays at her grandparents and I was telling her and she's like,

do you think? And I was like, there's only one way to find out. And so I like just leant under her and she's like do you think and i was like there's only one way to find out and so um i like just leant under and milked helen like i've milked many cows in my time conversation with helen because she's been personified so much do you have to excuse me helen may i milk you or something yeah because you're kind of friends with your goats. It's weird. It's weird. So then I went,

and milk came out and I was like, what is happening? But she didn't mind at all. So I'm wondering because this is the thing about my goats. They were rescue goats. Big mystery as to what happened

pre my adoption. She just didn't even, like it was nothing. Like no worries. Did you keep going? Do you think for the first time if you milked something, you'd be like, ah, what are you doing? But she just milked me for the first time and I'd be like

standing there in just absolute astonishment. I know, you definitely need to ask me first. You need to be a conversation. Yeah, but it was so weird and then I went and said to Sade, I went in to get a cup and Sade's like, what are you doing? I was like, I'm getting a cup because you can milk Helen.

And she's like, you are not getting a cup. I said, oh, I'm not going to drink it or anything. But I just was like, what does it look like? Would it be real watery or would it be like the milk that we know that you get from cows? But she, I know she's very particular about her home decor and cups and everything. She wouldn't want you using a good cup in the paddock to milk Helen. I wouldn't want you using a good cup in the paddock to milk Helen. I wouldn't want you using a good cup to milk Helen. It's just I don't know what to do with this information now.

Can I milk Helen if I come to the farm? Yeah, 100%. I reckon we milk her. To ask Helen. I reckon we milk her properly. Don't just send all your mates around to milk your goat. And see how much milk we get out of the goat. Because goat milk's like, it's the good milk.

Do people use it in coffee? Could we use it for everything? We could totally do a coffee. Can we make get out of the goat. Right. Because goat milk's like, it's the good milk. Do people use it in coffee? Could we use it for everything? We could totally do a coffee. Can we make cheese out of it? I don't know how much you'd need. And I don't know because you'd want a lot at once to make cheese because otherwise you'd have to like make it and collect it. And have you ever seen those ads on TV for cheese?

You need like an old outside shed and an old person. I've got an old outside shed and there's Norma next door. Okay. Done. Easy. We'll make some cheese. The two ingredients, next door. Done. Easy. We'll make some cheese. Two ingredients, three goats of cheese done. Sounds great. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast.

ZM. If you work in an open plan office they've been quite popular recently because it's like cut down but everyone can talk to everyone. It's like no superiority. I'm too loud. I think we're all a bit too loud for an open plan office. But it's open plan out in our main ZM area.

It's just we get shut in the studio. We're kind of in here, so we can be loud and obnoxious and we don't annoy anyone. Soundproof, yeah. But it turns out that open plan offices might not be very good for females. So it comes down to the fact that women feel judged on their appearance. And if you are in an open workspace, it can actually have the opposite effect to like, you know, building teamwork, productivity and all that. It can actually make people

feel feelings of discomfort, heightened awareness, anxiety and a lack of privacy. What if you've got the big, because a lot of open plan offices still have the kind of, they make a cubicle feel, don't they? Like you've got the barriers. Yeah, segmented. But then you're still sitting down, you can still look over and see a lot of people on open plan offices. Yeah. So they've found that women see, they feel visible, exposed, and observed all the time.

And that makes them feel vulnerable and self-conscious. Huh, whereas men don't feel that way. Yeah. Or as much even. Even down to the point where like they constantly feel like people are judging you and not just how you look, but if you leave a little bit early, everyone can see that you're leaving early. I've never worked...

But they're not there to see you arrive early. But it doesn't matter though Does it Yeah But if you arrive early You should be able To leave early Unless you clock in The overtime

Or if you've done All your work Yeah The thing I would see As being a problem If I worked in an Open plan office Is if I did a

Nine to five office job I'd need a lot of Like snacks So I'd feel that I was being judged on Say I had like A bottle of tamari almonds But it also had like

Some fruit tubes Yeah Maltesers, just a drawer of lollies. You just constantly have snacks beside you, even now. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. And I would feel like if I was constantly snacking and eating, people would be like, oh, he's got his back on the chocolates again. He's always eating.

Oh, he always needs a three o'clock chocolate bar. And it's hard too, because everyone can see what you're eating. You would feel judged. I think I would feel exposed. Also you've seen offices where it's really built up. It's not, it doesn't feel that great, does it? But then I guess if you've got your own office, you'd be stoked. But then also

you can choose to talk to like Barry across the room. If you're all segmented, otherwise it's just there all the time. Another good thing about open offices is you can go for a walk, like make it look like you're going to get a coffee or to the printer and you can just walk over there and like do a little fluffy and then go back to your desk and not have your stink around you.

Only you do that. Only you would think of that. Go out there and be like, oh, hey, guys, what's up? When you're out there, you're like. In the meantime, you just crop dust the whole entire office. Yeah.
