Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. And I imagine the sob stories about having a fake pink ticket are only going to get worse. How many? Because you think that was just her Dunedin show get worse. How many? Because it was like, you think that was just her Dunedin show on Saturday.

How many of the Dunedin show? What did you say, Anya? Several. There's been two official complaints and a lot more circulated online. Was it via GoGo again? Well, no, I think it's like Facebook, people being like,

yo, two tickets. Oh, like Marketplace. A second it goes. At least on Trade Me, you've got some kind of way to, you know two tickets. Oh, like Marketplace. The second it goes. At least on Trade Me, you've got some kind of way to, you know, you can only get from verified sellers

if you want, you know? Well, I mean, I got mine from Via Gogo. It turned up over the weekend in the Courier. It's just written on a McDonald's napkin.

It says, pink ticket times two. So that sounds, that seems pretty legit to me. It does seem legit. That seems pretty good. I'm looking forward to the show. I imagine there'll be a few more of those

with her Auckland shows ahead. Did you see the KiwiBuild homes? Aren't you still talking about the news? No. 18 of them in Papakura. They looked really nice. But my problem in a housing shortage is 18 doesn't seem enough. And they were

really nice. So what you're doing is creating a want for them, which would, you know, when there's a lack of supply, but the demand's high. Yeah. They'll be quite expensive. Economics. Just wondering if that's, wouldn't you be best to like have, like just be like, okay, guys, trust us.

We're building some Kiwi homes. How many Kiwi homes are ready next week we're selling 100,000 Kiwi homes flood the market with Kiwi homes there'll be too many homes it sounds like madness

but that you bingo I don't remember a lot from economics but flooding a market seems like a great idea to take care of swelling prices alright you lot

listen up it's story time story time. Story time. And for those new to the show, how it works, I give Vaughan and Megan three news headlines, interesting odd unusual news stories that I've found, and then they pick one headline.

So, Vaughan and Megan, headline one, mum gets 12-year-old new cell phone. What can go wrong? Headline two, man wakes up to extra massage service. And headline three, TV weather girl's career looking stormy with the chance of no job. What did that weather girl do that cost her her job? She's done something inappropriate. I'm guessing one, she bought the phone,

but there was some photos on there. You can guess away, Vaughn. Mum a 12-year-old new cell phone. What can go wrong? You can guess away. That's not how it works. You've got to pick one. What was story two? Man wakes to extra massage services.

Yep. That sounds sexual. Mind you, have you ever had a four-hand massage? Delightful. Never. I can only imagine six hands would be even better. Was it the four-hand one that you got overseas because it's super cheap? Because you'd never do that in New Zealand because it's double the price.

I got my wife one for her birthday. I got her the voucher and she used it and she said just holy moly. How great. Did the weather girl lose her job because she got in a fight with a newsreader? Yeah. Like a physical altercation.

Megan, stop Googling the stories. I want story number two, so I had to figure out. Okay, that's good. I'm keen for story number two. Weather person versus anchor. Yeah. Renee Wright versus Simon Dallow. No, it was two females. Renee Wright versus Wendy Petrie. No, it was two females.

Renee Wright versus Wendy Petrie. Oh, Renee. I don't want to bet. Oh, no. Oh, yeah, no, Renee. Oh, Wendy. Renee. That would be a good fight, though.

Renee's got Hamilton connections and spent time in Hawke's Bay. Okay, yeah, she'd win. She'd stab a bitch with a heel. She's got some regional bat luck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, she does. I don't know Wendy's regional background, but I don't know. But what about Renee?

Dan Corbett versus Simon Dallow. Simon Dallow. That guy's massive. Have you seen Simon Dallow in person? He's like 6'5". Yeah, I saw him at the airport like a month ago. He's a big MF-er. Real tall.

What about on three? Who have we got over there? No one's taking McRoberts down. No, he's a unit. What about Hilary Barry? Can we put her up against someone? She'd have to be up against Maddie McClain. Oh, God, oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no. She's on seven sharp now. Yeah. And I don't think anyone's taken Hayley Holt. I've seen her smoke a durry in like 30 seconds. Wait, she's a snowboard hero from way back. Oh, yeah, she's a snowboard hero. She'd take everyone down.

She'd kill you. Yeah. And know exactly how to dispose of the body. I don't think there's... Have we just stumbled onto the newest kind of fight for life kind of thing? What, Scrap for Death? Celebrity Death Fight. Instead of fight for life, Scrap for Death.

Scrap for Death, basically. Okay, well, anyway, we don't want that story. We've been sidetracked. You want the massage one. The man wakes up. Okay, well, we go to Port Charlotte now. A customer at a Port Charlotte massage business has

told investigators he woke up during a massage to find himself in a compromised position. And DNAs have since used DNA to make an arrest in the case. Now, a 26-year-old has been charged after the incident. Apparently, a 26-year-old has been charged after the incident.

Apparently, this happened in April at the Massage Envy massage parlour. It's just your standard massage place. Nothing dodgy about it. Right. You're not going here, you know. Yep.

For anything. For anything other than a nice, relaxing massage. I'm hearing you. Well, the victim says that he went for a massage with his regular masseuse, who's done massages in the past. Okay. So he said he was good at his job, so he went back to him.

And apparently the massage, the masseuse, said that he would give him extra time because he's one of my favourites. You've got to look after regulars. You're a regular, so I'll give you a little bit extra. That's what annoys me. People are always about catching new customers, but what about retaining the ones you've got? Exactly. And so apparently the victim says he fell asleep during the massage

and woke to find... Oh, God. Wait. The massage shit. The charades doesn't work for everyone listening to the radio. The masseuse's... Mouth. Was it the masseuse's bits?

No. His bits. His bits. His bits. The masseuse's mouth. The masseuse's mouth. The balls. The balls?

The balls. The balls. The balls? Well, they say scrotum in this story, but the balls. The balls. The balls. Just the balls. Just the balls.. The balls. Just the balls. Just the balls.

Just the balls. That's the worst part. Are we believing that he fell asleep and woke up? Wait, but so. Okay, so you wake up. I'd be like, whoa, that can stop or carry on. And he did. He absolutely flipped out.

He said, look, get the hell out of here. So this person has... Whoa. The police didn't get involved. His wife didn't walk in on this happening. No, I'm saying the police were involved. The guy's been arrested. They DNA swabbed his balls by the sounds of it

because they said they've got DNA samples from the boxer shorts. Oh, the boxer shorts. So who's been arrested? The masseuse? Yeah. Yeah. Right.

Because obviously, because he has ituse? Yeah. Yeah. Right. Because obviously, because he had the... Right. In his mouth. Gotcha. Gotcha. And so he's been arrested and it's waiting trial. Right. I thought this felt like this guy was using, like it was an excuse.

Like his wife was like, are you done with the masseuse? Oh my God, the balls. Like that. No. But he's just... No. Oh my God. So he was sexually assaulted.

Yes. But he knew the guy. So he'd been like before. Well, I guess he knew him as in he'd been a lot of times, yeah. Wow. What the hell, eh? That is so bad. That's the sort of thing that's going to get you struck off the otherwise

really reputable masseuse list. Yeah. Of registered masseuses. That's why I go to that one at the mall. They're not going to do that to you. Why? Because you're in the middle of the mall. They're not going to do that to you. Why? Because you're in the middle of the mall. Well, no, because they're coming down from the escalator.

They pull that calico curtain around. You never know what can happen behind that. True. All right. This is why. Don't fall asleep. I always fall asleep. And not only that, because they can stop doing the job.

Yeah, yeah. And you don't know because you're asleep. I've said this before. I'm too scared to fall asleep. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F.M. F this before. I'm too scared to fall asleep. F.M. F.M. Fletch, born in Megan, 6.17 past 6. Fletch just throws his headphones at his head and hopes they're going to go on.

Distracted. Caitlin brought in a bag of clothes. She's like, what do I do with these? Those are the leftover House of Hutton. We are a charity organisation. We need to talk about you going to your fashion show. Looking all dolled up at the weekend. Didn't I look great?

You did look great, actually. I'm not surprised. House of Hutton. House of Hutton. I don't know if it was a point. Nothing to do with you guys. The evolved House of Hutton. Even though everybody is sending us, what clothing label was it? Balenciaga.

Balenciaga. Balenciaga had a $9,000 outfit that looked a lot like our... Yeah, but Balenciaga are also responsible for those nasty crocs. Those blinkers. Balenciaga are also responsible for those nasty crocs. Those blank arts. Balenciaga are on a sabotage mission. I spent the weekend and I managed to get one day in skiing for the first time in years. And I actually tried skiing too, not snowboarding. I saw that

because you're a snowboarder. I know. You had skis on. I know. What has happened? How did that go? I'm out there trying. It's called by snow jewel. You're both. I'm by. I can do both now, which is great. But then sometimes when you've had a day on skis, do you feel bad? I like guilt. Yeah.

I have like guilt. Like, oh, God, what would my mum say? That sort of thing. Yeah. You're like, okay, just back to snowboarding. That's the key to being a good by snow eel is you don't. You just don't. You don't feel guilt.

You just like both ways. Yeah. Okay. You just enjoy life. You don't feel guilt. You just like both ways. Yeah. You just enjoy life. Like who cares? I'm not here to be judged. I could clip in or strap in. It just doesn't matter.

That's not on Megan. I said in. Okay. So another thing we did and I cannot recommend this highly enough guys. Okay. You know I'm a little bit

of a nerd when it comes to train stuff. I saw this on your Instagram Serene. I wanted to do this because was this a place they were advertising a job for yeah yeah yeah i wanted it was like 150 000 a job to live in tomoronui yeah i've forgotten world adventures so i did the golf where you drive golf carts on an old railway line you drive drive them? Yeah. Oka Huracan. Look, I'm sorry.

I can't remember the place where it ends, but it starts at Stratford. Right. Amazing story. I didn't know this about that rail line. Okay. And when it stopped getting used, it was because some dude, the back wheels of the carriage came off. Yeah. And he didn't know for 6Ks, and it just rooted all the railway tracks.

And so when you keep your railway like, oh, that's going to cost a bit to fix. We'll just cut this. And they literally just cut a bridge off so no trains could get on it. We'll just see what happens there. And a guy came up with this idea to drive golf carts down it with modified wheels. Oh my God, so much fun.

I want to do the two-day one. There's a two-day one where you stop over and stay the night at an old haunted pub and then carry on and finish at Stratford. Oh, I'd be so down for that Yeah Good Good time

So anyway We're on the golf carts And there's lots I didn't know this About the King Country Turkeys bloody everywhere Turkeys Just roaming around

Roaming around Like wild turkeys You wouldn't If you lived in the King Country You wouldn't need to buy one For Christmas You'd just shoot one Oh okay

Or just grab it Yeah Unless you want to Break it Sneak it Unless you just wanted it to be pre-plucked and everything.

And stuffed with apricot breadcrumbs. Yeah. Totes, so I can understand. But my wife didn't know, and this is something, you know,

when you're with someone, we've been together for 14 years. Yeah. She only just found out I love gobbling at turkeys. What do you mean? Because you know when you gobble at turkeys they gobble back? But you've really got to throw a gobbling at turkeys. What do you mean? Because you know when you gobble at turkeys, they gobble back?

But you've really got to throw a gobble at them. I didn't know that. Because when we were kids, if we saw the turkeys, because turkeys kind of, we had like one flock of turkeys that roam around Kiwate, where I grew up, we would always go, yeah, like that. And they'd go, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. Why do they do that though? Do they do, gobble, gobble. Why do they do that, though? Do they do, yeah?

No. Well, why do you do that? Because my papa told me. But wouldn't you just go, gobble, gobble, gobble? No, so then it turns, and then, like, later on, mum's like, they'll gobble if you gobble at them, too. So then, like, every time you see one, gobble. If you're driving and you can pull over safely when you see a gang of turkeys.

A rafter. A rafter? Yeah. I heard you say a flock of turkeys. It's a rafter of turkeys. A rafter of A rafter? Yeah. Who do you say a flock of turkeys? It's a rafter of turkeys. A rafter of turkeys. Packed to the rafters. Is that where packed to the rafters comes from?

No, I think rafters were before. Okay. Did they used to sit in the rafters or something? Maybe. I don't know. So you pull over safely. Yeah. And go, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble.

And they'll gobble back. But you've got to throw the gobble at it. So we're cruising along these little golf carts. You're saying you can't do a half-ass. Half-ass the gobble. That's insulting to them. Oh, right. So we're driving along in this golf cart on this whole abandoned railway line.

And every time we see it, and there was many turkeys. Every time we see it, I'm like, you ready, kids? And they'd say, aye, aye, captain, because they love SpongeBob. And we'd go, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. And I'd go, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. And I go, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble, gobble. Back to her. Okay, that's fun. It's so much fun.

God, Sade got so angry. She was like, could you please stop gobbling at the turkeys? Nobody else wants to hear you gobbling at the turkeys. They're trying to enjoy the peace and quiet. And did the girls want you to gobble? No, and then we saw some turkeys were coming around the corner, these turkeys, and Indy leans over and she's like,

I reckon we just gobble at these turkeys. Don't tell. Don't tell mum. We'll just gobble at the turkeys. I was like, I'm going to go three, two, one. And I'm going to gobble. So we're coming up and there's turkeys and I go, and Shardé's like, don't. And I'm like, three, two, one, go.

And this year they look at you and they're like. It's nice of the locals, just so high to the turkeys. I'm not a fan. Call me old fashioned. Okay. But I'm not a fan of synthetic things. Cannabis for a start, that shit is terrible. You see, that's bad.

Full stop. Then the place, and look, to be fair, I haven't tried it, so I stop. Then the place, and look, to be fair, I haven't tried it, so I don't know the taste, but I'm always a bit like, we've got chicken,

what do we need fake chicken for? You know that chicken burger that wasn't chicken? Yep. Fair enough if you don't want to eat chickens, but you like the taste of chickens. Kind of. But also,

so less chickens have to be killed. Yeah, but what's in it that's not chickens? Well, there'll be some kind of protein. I think it's, isn't it soy based or something? I don't trust soy either. Why not?

It's beans. Very reluctant to trust the... Boobies? Yeah, the boobies bean. Oh, don't. That's an old myth. We're putting too much power in the soy pocket. Right, okay.

Soy sauce? Full stop. Oh my God. Okay, Dad. Now, there's synthetic wine and whiskey. I don't understand this. So what makes it synthetic? It's made in a lab.

I know, but what's the difference between doing it in a brewery? There's no pipes in it. So it's literally they start with water, add chemicals. Yes. And flavouring and that's wine. This is what they're adding things to it. No, no, no. What are they adding to it?

Because this article that I've been reading about it says that stuff's got to be put into it, so why don't we just keep making grapes? Yeah, but then you don't have the farming, everything that goes into that. Right. But then the stuff that goes into it has to come from somewhere. Yeah, but it'd just be chemicals and water, wouldn't it? that goes into that. Right. But then, so the stuff that goes into it has to come from somewhere. Just chemicals.

Yeah, but it'd just be chemicals and water, wouldn't it? Yeah, call me old fashioned again. Yeah, I'm not sure about that because like, why would it be better to just drink chemicals when you could,

you know, at least there's some kind of substance to it if it came from something natural. So they made a whiskey that apparently was pretty good from like whiskey tasters tasted it and said, you know what, that's not actually too bad. Right. The Savignon Blanc that they tried to copy apparently still had some way to go.

But apparently they did it from scratch to where they did these tastings for like three or four months. You're talking about wine tasters. The average Joe Bloggs who buys a, you know, $10 bottle of wine on special at the supermarket probably wouldn't know. But it can't be any cheaper than wine, right? They're not doing it to make wine cheaper. I'm sure they are. Yeah, because you're getting rid of a whole process. You can already buy a bottle of wine for like six bucks.

Yeah, well, it's going to be three now. See, that $3 difference to me is not enough. And also, what's the hangover like? Because I feel like this is the next day. Like, it's all good paying $3 for a bottle of wine, but if you were, like, messed up the next day. You wake up blind. Yeah.

Turn out they were just relabelling bottles of turps. And, like, having a couple of sips to taste it is fine, but, like, send it to New Zealand because we'll really test it, like, if it's healthy for you or not. This was in New Zealand. Oh, was it? Yeah. How much have they drunk?

Yeah, no, no, no. Is it safe? I saw it. They were tasters. Yeah. Sometimes I'm like, don't spit that out. What a waste. Fletch, Vaughn and Megan.

The podcast. There is a story about a woman named Christina Schell and I think she works at a McDonald's in Manchester. This is in the UK. Okay. And she has been told that she must wear a bra to work. At Macca's? At McDonald's.

So she doesn't like wearing it. She says she serves a lot on the patio and it gets hot, and she doesn't like wearing a bra. So she says that she has been told under no circumstances can she turn up to work unless she's got a bra. Well, you know what, your boobs gone in the dipping sauce. She's also had someone prod her shoulder to make sure she's wearing one. You can't do that. Searching for a bra. They're saying this is

like a polite restaurant and women must either wear a tank top or a bra under their uniform shirt. However, that's not stated in a contract. I was going to say, can you make someone wear a bra? Well, it's technically

discrimination because you're forcing it upon one gender. I mean, you're not saying to the men they need to wear a singlet or something under their shirt. But wouldn't you want to just for comfort? Or not really? Comfort? Like walking around? No, go on, Fletch. Tell us more.

Tell us more about wearing a bra. Well, I don't wear one. I don't know. But I just thought it would have been like, I don't know, if you're working at McDonald's, wouldn't it just be easier if you're just, I don't know. Well, I don't know. You tell me, that's why I'm asking. I'm not wearing a bra today, just FYI.

Well, I knew that because this morning I did the shoulder check, didn't I? Good morning. Check the shoulder. All right. But it's more dependent on the top and stuff. And if I, like, don't think the top is going to work with the bra or whatever. What would you do if you had to wear a polo?

Because is that what they wear? I probably would wear one. But then if someone's going to prod your shoulder and be like, you need to wear it. Like, if I didn't want to and someone told me I had, like, if someone came to me today, if Ross Boss came to me today and said, you need to put a bra on, I would.

I would throw down. I don't think he would. No, honestly, I don't think it's a gender specific thing. I think just if you've got angry nipples, you should have to wear some sort of padding underneath. Guys and girls. There's some guys with some angry nipples. No, but you always see guys' nipples poking through. Mine.

I always have aggressive nipples. Aggressive nipples. Filthy. Nipples. Unnatural. It's a very interesting discussion. So she just doesn't like it. And I mean, I wear one most of the time because it's,

like if you're doing any kind of fast-paced walking or whatever, it can be uncomfortable. Plus I don't want them to. That was my point. You've got to walk around the burgundy. Yeah, there's not a lot of mucking around going on back there. And I don't want them to... That was my point. You've got to walk around the bird. Yeah, there's not a lot of mucking around going on back there. And I don't want them to end up like tucking them in my waist

when I'm like 80 because I haven't worn a bra my whole life. Is that urban legend though? I don't know. But that's her choice, you know. I just think you get old, it all goes south doesn't it? Yeah. Like... Well, gravity's working against them, you know?

Yeah. And after time, I don't know that for certain, but that's also why I choose to wear one. Right, okay. But again, I just don't think you can tell people... Oh, no, definitely not. ...what to wear and what not to wear. So what's this one?

What's she just got to fight against them? Yeah. Is she taking them to court? So she's saying it's discriminatory because it's being forced upon one gender. It's not stated in the contract because you're not really allowed to state in a contract that you must wear a bra. I guess unless it was going to cause health and safety issues, which you would say in this instance, it's probably not. Unless they are like right down there.

I would say that they're moderately sized. Okay, so they're not going in the deep fryer. No, they're not. Falling on the grill. Getting slammed in the drive-thru window. I think you've just identified three quite serious hazards, Tim Horton. Well, I'm very good. That was always the best part in my licence,

when they're like, identify hazards. I just start naming everything. Yeah, they're like, Vauden, that house isn't going anywhere. It could. If a landslide pushes it in, that's another one. Landslide. You can't argue with that because that could happen. Oh, exactly. The Top Six with Vaughn Smith.

Great news, Wellington. Sweet Axe Throwing Company is open in the capital and you can go down there and throw an axe at a wall. Now, is it a bar as well? I can't look in the news article. I hope not. I hope so. In the news article. I hope not. I hope so. In the news, have you ever seen that cool video of Jason Momoa throwing an axe?

Yeah. The Gamers Runs by. Yes. Drinks a beer, throws an axe, finishes his beer. And he recently went to Japan and ate nothing but ramen all the time. It was their breakfast, lunch, dinner. Ramen, ramen, ramen. I feel like I'm sensing a crush.

Big crush. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big crush. He could be the saviour of the DC movie universe too I feel like I'm sensing a crush. Big crush. Yeah. Oh, yeah, big crush. Yeah. He could be the saviour of the DC movie universe too because the rest of it's been pretty rubbish. So this axe throwing bar is open in Wellington

and you can go down and you can throw an axe at a wall. There's bullseye. They put little red marks on there and you've got to try to hit those. It starts with an axe. Yeah, does it say how much it costs? No. Because I'll be keen for that.

No, no word on how much it costs. But you can go down there and throw axes. Some people are like, this is going to end badly. It will. But until then, let's enjoy it. But I've said that about the ten pin bowling at...

What? In the bar. In the bar. Oh, there you can drink and play ten pin bowling. At Dr. Rudy's. But that's been fine. No one's had a ball to the head yet, have they? You've been able to drink at bowling alleys for ages.

That's true, yeah. Like, knock back a couple of Bacardi Breezers and go for a strike. No one's used that as a weapon yet, so we're all good. A Bacardi Breezer. It's a bowling ball. I was going to say, because they've definitely been used as weapons. So the top six other ideas. I like the sound of being a range, but then again, I'm a moron.

Okay. That's today's top six. Number six, the spraying then lighting a can of Lynx range. You are an idiot. Oh, you said moron, didn't you? People burn down their houses like that. I know they do. Trying to get spiders.

Yeah, that's no way to kill a spider. You shouldn't kill spiders. Just take them outside. They take care of mosquitoes and stuff. Unless they're like really scary devil looking spiders then stomp them.

Or Australian spiders. Yeah, burn the house down. Number five on the list of the ideas. I like the sound of being a range but then again, I'm a moron.

Is the eating the last piece of pizza in the fridge even though my wife totally said she wanted that piece when she put it in their range. You just go in and you eat

and then skedaddle out of there. Number four on the list of the top six other ideas. I like the sound of being arranged but then again, I'm a moron. Is there holding fire crackers and lighting them range? Like Roman candles. Not the ones that bang, like Roman candles. We've all been chased by one of those.

Terrible idea. We shouldn't be doing that. Let's not. That's what I'm saying. That's how we get a band. But then you wouldn't throw an axe at a friend. I'm just saying shooting Roman candles at a target. Okay.

Oh, okay. Not at people. Come on, guys. We want this to be a range. Number three on the list of the ideas, I like the sound of being a range, but then you go, I'm a moron, is the getting towed on water skis behind a motorbike on grass range. It's actually fun.

Sounds like a school gala from the 90s. Yeah, it is. Before they got banned. It's a legit thing to do. If you've got a good flat lawn, you can get behind the right old lawnmower and get a tow on the water skis. Get some good practice in when it's too cold to hit the water. Number two is the riding the supermarket troower and get a tow on the water skis. Get some good practice when it's too cold to hit the water. Number two is the

riding the supermarket trolleys down a hill range. Oh, without brakes, that's a dangerous game. No, my thought is there's someone in the trolley and there's someone on the back of the trolley.

You might have to weld on like a little standing platform on the back. Although I think you should just be able to push yourself up. Okay. Hold yourself off

and then use your feet as the brakes and steering as well because the front wheels are pretty wobbly. And the number one idea for the ideas, I like the sound of being a range, but then again, I'm a moron, is the eating beetroot while wearing a white shirt range.

Dangerous. Dangerous game. Very dangerous game to play. That is today's top six. This is a study that's come out of New Zealand. So an insurer has done an investigation into how we're like losing our phones and laptops. Yeah. So it was specifically for students because obviously the worst.

So a bunch of students were asked, they were between the ages of 18 and 21, how their laptops and smartphones died. An insurer? An insurer. Wouldn't have thought 18 to 21 year olds would have had insurance. My mum made me get like, she was like, you get contact insurance, you burn the house down. Oh yeah. You have to pay for it. You're like, oh yeah, good point mum.

But you wouldn't think about it. Yeah, I don't think I had insurance. You wouldn't think about it. It wasn't until I like moved away like and got a proper job that I was like, oh I better get insurance. But when I was a student I didn't. But that's when you should have it because you're more likely to burn something down and get stuff stolen.

Yeah. Okay. Well, there is one specific way that phones seem to die that is most popular with students. One in three students drop their phone in the toilet. That's a huge... Of the people that... Wait. Were surveyed. Students That's a huge... Of the people that... Wait.

Were surveyed. Students. Oh, right. Of the people that were surveyed. I've never done it. Never dropped my phone in the toilet. Haven't you? No.

No. It's way more a female thing than it is a male thing. Yeah, right. Is it because you sit down? I would have thought... Like, we have our phones in our handbags, usually. You have them in your pockets. Oh, yeah, but front pockets.

But then the girls I know that have dropped it in the toilet have it in the back pocket. And they're like, on the phone, da-da-da-da-da-da. Put it in the back pocket, then pull the pants up and it does a somersault dive into the toilet. That happened to me at Friday James last year. Do you remember that? I dropped my phone in the toilet because I had it in my back pocket. Do you remember that?

That's a more important question. I had it in my back pocket. Oh, Auntie Megan came out to party. Because I never put my phone in my back pocket, my jeans, and then I went to go to the toilet, pulled my pants down, and it went... But it survived. And you had flush day.

I hadn't done the business yet. I pulled my pants down and I heard the plop. I hope that she hadn't done her business. She said she was taking her pants down. Oh, I thought she'd done the business. And her pants. They had the previous person flush, because you know public toilets are a bit...

You know some people don't flush? People are weird in public toilets. What's up with that? You tread it like your own. They don't want to touch the button? Is that it? I don't know. Well, because guys are the worst,

especially with the toilets, because they won't even lift the seat up sometimes. Pedal on the seat. Mankey. Gross. Yuck. Yeah, so I just quickly tipped it over and gave it a dry

And it like The home button Stopped working But the rest of it Like survived Yeah Well it's in the toilet But I had a phone

That took two dunks In the bath That's right Yeah it went fully Fully submerged One time it hit the bottom Hit the bottom Scooped it out

Turned it off Put it in the hot water cupboard In a bowl of rice And left it for a day Lucky And it worked both times. Yeah. Kept working.

I love how we're talking like we've come back from like World War II. Yeah. Tales of survival. I'll tell you that time I had to put my phone in the hot water cupboard. It was a spring day 2017. Well, considering one in three New Zealand students lose their phone in the toilet, I would like to know what your phone has been through and survived.

Oh, okay. Because mine lived to tell the tale. Yours lived after its dunk in the bath. Wasn't there a news story maybe a month or two ago about a pilot, maybe a skydiver, who lost his phone out of a light aeroplane and then found it? And it was fine.

It was fine just because I think it had a field. Did he use like Find My iPhone or something? Yeah. And it had like spongy grass

or something. I don't know. Mud. Boy, he probably found it. He would have gone to Find My iPhone he would have trekked through the paddock

to find it. He would have seen it. It would have been face down because you know when you drop your phone it's always face down. And he would have been like, is the screen going to be correct?

And if you're in public, you just, you pick it up and you don't even really look because you know, you're just like, I don't care. You hear someone else drop their phone and everyone looks and waits. Is it dead?

Is it dead? No, you're right. That's like you give it a quick look and you're like, yeah. And then they turn it over, hands shaking and they look and it's not broken. They're like, oh.

That's a good day. Again, World War II stories for our generation. I saw a guy do that, though, and it was broken. And the look on his face was just like, I felt for him because I've been there. Dear Helen, I hope this news finds you well. I've had a bout of bad luck lately. I dropped my phone and I chipped a corner of the screen.

I hope back home things aren't as crazy as they are here. If I've learned anything, it's that we should just get married when I get home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I miss you, my love. I yearn for your touch. Snap me back so our streak may continue. 0800-DARLS-ATM-9696.

We want to hear your tales of phone survival this morning. In New Zealand, one in three students drop their phone in the toilet. I'd say that would be, I mean, up there for adults as well. Oh, yeah. Post-students. This was just a study done with students, but one in three of us in the studio drop their phone in the toilet. So that stands true.

We want to know from you, though, what your phone survived. Live to tell the tale of. Some text messages in on it. We were at the lake water skiing, and my phone was in the hoodie pocket, fell out, went straight to the bottom, dived in to save it, couldn't find it. While having lunch, 20 minutes later, my friend could see a light at the bottom. Someone was calling it, and the light was going. So we dived down, got it

out and it worked fine. Does that say something about the phone's waterproof nature? Because the new iPhones are shower proof, eh? So the Samsungs are waterproof? There's waterproof Samsungs. The iPhone X says that it's

waterproof, yet water damage still voids the warranty. So they actually don't have to stand by that whatsoever. Somebody said, I've dropped a phone into a deep fryer. Okay. Freaked, got it out, turned it off, left it for a bit. Worked sweet. But surely a deep fryer would be hot enough to melt plastic.

Yeah. Or maybe it is not. If it was only in for like a, a second. A split second. But then you wouldn't stick your hand in. How'd you get that out with the basket?

You'd have to get the basket. Or maybe the deep fryer hadn't been turned on. We don't have temperature details if you are still listening. Let us know the temperature details of that oil, please. Just for our own

personal satisfaction. Ah, Prue, what happened? I'm a swimming coach, had my phone in my jacket pocket and I leaned over and it fell out into the bottom of the dive well. Ah, Prue, what happened? I'm a swimming coach, had my phone in my jacket pocket and I leaned over and it fell out into the bottom of the dive well. Oh, no. It's quite deep.

The next hour, hour and a half, I spent my kids the entire time diving into the bottom of the bottom. Chocolate fish for the winner. Brilliant, I like that. Good incentive. And when it got out, it still worked? It still worked. What?

How long would it have been submerged for? It would have been in there for just under an hour, hour and a half probably, by the time it actually got up again. How long did it take these bloody kids to get that phone? Oh, it was three lots of high-five lessons. Right. All right, we're going to do deep diving.

Deep diving now, kids. They're like, we're only just in our first week of learning to swim. Shush. Well, it's called sinking. You hold the other end of this rope, sink down, grab your phone, and I'll pull you back up. Thanks, you cool pro. Alana, what happened?

My girlfriend went to, we're actually in the outback, which is really grotty, and she. Excuse me, I met my wife in that wonderful establishment. Oh, you're going to so resonate with this. So she's like in the toilet. Her phone's down her bra. She leans forward to spew in the toilet. She spews.

But then her phone falls into the toilet with the spew. Oh, God. It gets worse. So then she was like, oh, she was so drunk. She was like, oh, my God, my phone. And it was an iPhone. And like, we were poor students. Yeah.

And we probably didn't have insurance. So she picks it up and sucks the water out. I was like... Out of the charger plug and the headphone plug. Yeah, out of the charger plug. And, like, the speakers, even up the top, like, earpiece. She was, like, sucking it. I knew it.

Crazy. I can't. I knew when the story started, so we're out drinking at Hamilton. I knew it wasn't going to end well. I just had a gag. And, like, you don't know what was in that toilet before? No, we don't. Alana, did she get sick and did the phone work?

She was hungover obviously the next day, but yes, the phone did work the next day. She was like, good as hell. Alana, that is so grim. I love it. Alana, thanks for your call. Thanks. That's what I promised you guys.

See you, mate. Text messages in. Yeah. I had to swallow it. Alana, thanks for your call. Thanks. It's not a problem. See you guys. See you, mate. Text messages in. Yeah. Just, I had to swallow it. My phone survived the trip on the roof of my car along the motorway from Takapuna Beach to Northcote Point. Screamed along there. And then when we stopped, it slid down onto the windscreen.

I was like, oh, there you are. My dad dropped his phone in the big chest freezer He didn't know he had And it wasn't until we got to the bottom of that freezer Food wise That it was there And it was like oh that's where that ended up It had been there for 18 months

Turned it on I charged it Turned it on and it worked Wow Somebody said that is the magic of the Nokia. It would be dry, wouldn't it? And it's like things

in Antarctica, they stay really preserved, don't they? Yeah, I guess so. Because there's no moisture. I work with liquid nitrogen on a daily basis.

A guy dropped his phone into a tank of it. Please tell me it shattered like in science. Fished it out, phone still works sweet. Oh, okay. That was unfortunate.

Well, if you dropped it once you got it out. Yeah, I would have gone with a little hammer. Ting, ting, ting. Somebody else said that we had our phone fall out of the car, get run over by the car, crack, tiny bit of crack up on the upper right hand

side of the screen, but other than that, totally sweet. I feel like these people should have written what phone they have, because I don't think any of these would have been iPhones. No, heaps of them are. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, heaps of them are. Thankfully, there are many, many YouTube videos of iPhones going into

liquid nitrogen. I wondered what you were doing. I was like, I'm just gonna see, someone's putting one in here. Hang on, I'll just see if they're gonna... Fast forward to see if they're shattering. No, no, I am, I am. Tink, tink, tink, tink. Oh, yep, they're hitting it with a hammer. Stand by. This is great for a variety of purposes.

No, remember the hard old days when YouTube didn't have the old... Oh, it doesn't. The preview of the... It doesn't... Just break it. It doesn't shatter into a million pieces. You might as well have hit a room temperature iPhone

with a hammer. Yeah, it's the same as hitting a... That was disappointing. Disappointing. Very. So don't try that with your phone. No. Disappointing.

I've had another argument going into the supermarket. So the first one was about Pussycat Dolls. God, this marriage is full of bits, eh? Pussycat Dolls lyrics. And this one was, I'm totally in the right. I'm totally in the right. So we were going to, and I'll tell you, like, it's important to know which supermarket, and you'll know why in a second. Okay. I were going to And I'll tell you Like it's important to know

Which supermarket And you'll know why in a second Okay I was going to Pack and Save Okay Which is good Remember when Megan was all like Ew Pack and Save

I'll say You did You didn't want to go that time You turned your nose up They're really cheap mates Yeah you didn't Want to go I didn't go there

I try not to go there on a Sunday Because it's too busy Okay It's too crowded And I don't like crowds But we were going to Pack and Save and of course

you need to take your reusable bags because we're all trying to save the world. There's never the right size cardboard box at the end of the

Pack and Save trip, is there? They're like, oh, grab a box and you go over and they've either got the biggest box they've ever seen

in the world that's got no sort of like bottom strength to it. Or they've just got like the tiniest thing that like juice sachets came in. Well, neither of these boxes are quite. Yeah. Why hasn't Pack and Save got on the reusable bag? I think because you've had to buy them for ages, haven't you?

Bags there. Yeah. But you should be able to buy, you know, reusable Pack and Save bags. Can you not? No. They only have the boxes there and then they have plastic bags that you can buy. So usually we would go to pack and save, get our groceries, take the trolley to the car, put all the groceries in the boot and pack them in our bags in the boot.

Because we have reusable countdown bags. Right. And my thoughts are you can't take another supermarket's bags. I can't take countdown bags into Pack and Save and pack them in there. Because it's a different supermarket. So this was the argument you're having with Mr. Toyboy. What are you saying? You can't take countdown bags into the Pack and Save?

We have reusable countdown ones. He put them in the trolley and when you hoon around. And then at the checkout, he's packing them. No, I'm on Mr. Toyboy. Right in front of the lady. I was like, those aren't pack and save bags. I don't care. They're countdown bags. They don't work there.

No, I know, but it's like cross-contamination. No, it's absolutely fine. It's like a pack and save note that sometimes I do cheat on them. So what if the reusable bag wasn't either supermarket? That's fine. But you've got a problem taking a countdown reusable bag. You know, if we're talking reusable bags, you know who's got the best reusable bags?

And I'd tap the table now because you know what I mean. I know who you're going to say. New World. Yeah. Because I wouldn't have a New World near us. I'd just never go to a New World. Went to one at the weekend. More reusable.

Whoa. It's the handle. How am I a dollar? That thing's like, no, they're probably a high end. Yes, that's the difference. The Countdown ones, the black ones are a dollar, but those ones, they're like. Are they real fancy?

Well, $2.99, I think. Oh, high roller. But this thing's like legit, right? It's lasting forever. Because my supermarket all last week with the Countdown was doing the Countdown inception to no plastic bags, my one. So from today. Oh, you're going to have to carry everything. And they've got

big signs in the supermarket like, don't forget your reusable bags in the car park. It's like, oh, it's too late. I've already forgotten them. Would you take New World bags into countdown? I've got the answer to your problem. Wait, one just said... Well, we have just, I believe, just put a poll up on our Instagram.

Vaughn's actually running out of the studio. Oh, yeah, okay. It's the granny trolley bag that I got you for your birthday. That I've left at work? Yeah. That actually has something in it now. Which, by the way, was endorsed by Troye Sivan as a celebrity cool item. You should be a trendsetter. Somebody's using this to store extensionter. Well, I will take...

Somebody's using this to store extension cords. Well, I'm glad it's getting used. You should just do it. Not actual Gucci. You could fit all your shopping in there as a single male. You could easily fit all your shopping in there. I could. Cat biscuits.

I don't know about the embarrassment. So we have run a poll on our Instagram page whether or not you're allowed to take other supermarkets' bags. What? Let me click on this. 87% say it's all good. So you are literally in a 13% minority, Megan. Well, I haven't voted yet.

It's early votes. I don't even think about it. I don't even care. No, who cares? I was so embarrassed. I mean, if you... Like if I got to the checkout and they were like, I was like, oh, I got reusables,

and I passed them one and it had, like, new wool on it, and they were like... They start sobbing. Will you bring this in here? Tell us you've been shopping around? If I was a supermarket owner or ran... I'd just do a trade. I'd say, hey, you give us that.

We'll give you a brand new one for nothing. Yeah, okay. That's good. Yeah. Boom. That's good thinking. Boom. There you go.

That's good thinking. Then I would trade. But there'd be no way I'd trade my new New World bag for one of your countdown bags. I'd be wanting four countdown bags. You're saying they're superior. Yeah. Okay. And if you thought dolphins choked on plastic bags, you should see how they choke on a reusable.

Don't say that. Well, the idea is we're not going to chuck them in the ocean. Every great idea of humanity seems to end up in the ocean. TVs, oh, we're not throwing those in the ocean. Slash. And she played Dunedin. What about, what about? What's up? This is Pink and you're listening to ZM. City welcomes Pink. And she played Dunedin Saturday night here in Auckland. Spark Arena the 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th and 10th.

So there is a good chance that she could be out and about in Auckland. Yeah. Was she at the Dunedin Farmers Market? I saw that. She said everyone was so lovely to her and her family. And she liked, what did she have, a pie or something? She liked the pies. We do make good pies in New Zealand. They love the great pies.

But her husband, Carrie Hart, was in Timaru over the weekend. In fact... And the talk of Tim is... Talk of Tim is. In fact, he was on Liv's farm. Good morning, Liv. Good morning. So, Carrie Hart competed in motocross on your farm.

Yeah, he did, yes. I just love, this is such a great Kiwi story. Yeah. Crazy, eh? So, how did he hear about it? Is it a pretty big event in the back paddock? Yeah, it was quite a big event, like 700 people. Oh, wow.

Wow, okay. And so, did he just Google or something and find out about it? I think it was like he heard through word of mouth and then he posted on social media about it. And then one of the event organisers hit him up and he was pretty keen to come. So he's like, oh, this sounds fun. And everyone's like, oh, come along.

And he did. Yeah, pretty much. And did he BYO motorbike or did you guys loan him one? Well, he didn't have one lined up, but he got one through somewhere. He got one. He got one somewhere. You make it sound like you stole it on the way there. Did you actually see him ride?

Was he really good? Yeah, yeah, we did watch him. He was competing, but yeah, he was pretty good. I think he got a couple of fours. Oh, okay. A couple of fours. Well, he's on holiday technically, isn't he? Yeah.

I guess. Yeah, yeah, he had a race in like six months. Oh, wow, okay. So I heard that he skipped out on Pink's show and decided to stay back and have some drinks in Timmins. Yeah, well, he didn't go and watch the show. But yeah, he was going to have some drinks, but he was pretty jet lagged. So I think he went to bed, actually.

Did he stay in Timaru the night or did he go back to Dunedin that night? No, he stayed in Timaru, yeah. And so Timaru has been buzzing all weekend? Yeah. Did you actually get a chance to have a conversation with him? Yeah, yeah. He was in the tent right beside us. My brother was riding

as well and he was quite literally right beside us. When you say tent, was it one of those neat little pop-up things? Just like a gazebo. I love those. The motocross families always have like four of those neat little pop-up things? Just like a gazebo. I love those. The motocross families always have four of those in the garage. You walk them out, pop them up, put the sides on them if it's a bit windy. So what did you talk to Carrie Hart about?

We just talked about how many kids he has. He's got two. Well, I have three other siblings. Yeah. So he was saying, two's enough for me, I think. Well, there you go. That's a bit of, if we were like one of those women's mags, we'd be like, pink, that's it.

Says two's enough. No more kids for me. No, no, we wouldn't. We would say something like, Carrie says that's enough, but pink wants more. Oh, yeah. That's what you'd say. You make it sound like there's issues in the marriage

because the dude's just like, yeah, I don't think two kids is enough. And does it sound like they're enjoying their time in New Zealand? Yeah, I think he thinks it's really cool. He was really impressed with the track. He said that in America, he has a track at home which he can only use four times a year after it rains. Oh, okay. Yeah, so he was pretty impressed with New Zealand I think

He should get a Sprinkler system I mean I'm not If I ever talk to him I will say Maybe get a Sprinkler system Because then you can

Use it all the time Yeah exactly It's just a thought I had Just off the top of my head Anybody in motocross That's finding Track restrictions

Due to dryness Feel free to Implement that Nice Alright well thanks For having a chat to us Liv Your farm's famous Yeah I know Crazy On the map feel free to implement that. Nice. All right. Well, thanks for having a chat to us, Liv. Your farm's famous.

Yeah, I know. Crazy. On the map. Was the local Timaru news there to report on it? Yeah, it was on News Hub, but very nice. I love it. Yes, New Zealand. Joe Timmers.

Nice. All right. Everywhere I scroll on Facebook, I just see stuff, articles. Yes. So good. All right, Liv, thanks for talking to I just see stuff articles. Yes. So good. All right, Liv, thanks for talking to us this morning. Pink's first show tomorrow night in Auckland. And how many is she doing in Auckland?

Five. All of them. All of them. Five of them. FEM. Father's Day yesterday. The greatest day of the year. If you're a dad.

And you're on the receiving end. Yes, it's a very attentive day. I had a pretty good haul. You guys have pointed out just momentarily ago, I've got a new bracelet. It's pretty cute, but, like, it probably doesn't suit all occasions. Like, you wouldn't be able to wear that with a formal suit. Maybe not.

Maybe it's like a telephone cord, I guess, is how I'd best describe that. Or, like, the pen that keeps the bank's pen at the bank. Yeah. The cord. Yeah. And it's kind that keeps the bank's pen at the bank. Yeah. The cord. Yeah. And it's kind of springy and then there's a key ring. And it goes around your wrist and that's...

Now, I don't know what this was. This looks like it might have been a milk bottle or something originally. Okay. But Indy said what they did is that they made a design and then they baked it and it went small and hard. And it's got a... What do you call these things? Ribbon.

A rosette. A badge, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, with the hanging down things, and it says number one dad on it, which is good to know, because if she had another number one, I'd be questioning what's going to be. When they gave it to you? Oh, I was very thankful. Okay.

No, I didn't really cry, but the funniest thing she said, now that says, it looks like it says no one's dad, but that's just how you write number one one without having to write the whole number one. It says N-O, dad. Pretty good haul. Also got August maybe some Rocky Road. Okay. And that was wrapped in beeswax paper, and that's all the buzz, isn't it?

Beeswax paper. Yeah, but you're not really a fan of marshmallows, are you? Because you always give me the mocha marshmallows. I'm not fussed by them, but I'll eat them if they're encased in chocolate. It's just because you love marshmallows. Yeah, you're a too much. Yeah, it's like a treat. If you've been a good boy, you get a marshmallow.

But if you've been naughty, I just eat them myself. I know, and I like to really rub it in your face. You're the only person I know that gets like a cup of marshmallows with their mocha. I'll always ask for a couple of extra marshmallows. And then you can see people always looking to see where your kids are. But they're not. They're just, I'm eating them. Yeah, he's eating them all.

I'm a grown man eating marshmallows. Get over it. I got a lovely note too. This is a story. Okay. I don't want to Skype, but I'm going to read it out. Is this from Indy? This is from Indy.

Okay. Well, she actually overachieved in two nights, but I don't want to say how advanced she is, but she is very- She's quite advanced. Very advanced. Okay. My dad is special because he's kind, helpful, and funny.

He helps me a lot. He's loving and a hero. Here's the part. Now, here's the part. The only reason I'm reading this. Okay. My dad works really hard at ZM. Me and Indy need to have a chat.

So I was like, yes. He's sometimes silly and sometimes very silly. Yeah. He helps me a lot on videos. My dad's kind to me. My dad is the best. My dad is good at playing Fortnite. Okay, right.

Again. And fixing car tyres. Now, I don't know where she got this from because she wrote this at school last week. We had a flat tyre on the way to Ruapea over the weekend. And I changed it. This was pre that. I said, how did you know I could

change tyres? And she's like, because that time you hit the kerb and popped the tyre. I was like, that was ages ago, though. She's like, oh yeah, I just remember you being quite good, because it was raining. And she also probably needed to fill up the page. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, when you're just doing an assignment

and you need extra words. Or you've read an and and you're like, oh, now what's after? Yeah, okay, I need something else. I need another point. Producers, can you back up that hardworking ethic? What's your number one motto about meetings? Don't go to them.

Exactly. I rest my case. Yeah, and I'm working hard to not go to them. She doesn't stipulate what kind of hard work I'm doing. A hard work avoiding unnecessary work. That's hard work. That's smart work. I'm just wondering

what you're going home and saying to them in order to get them to say you're working hard. You know how Dad's home at half past ten every day? They don't get home till three. As far as they know, I just walked in the door. Ah, big day at work today. What does Vaughan say literally after every show?

What have we got on? How long do we have to hang around here? Well, I've put a lot of hard work into these hours. Hours, plural. We had so many meetings today that you can't get out of them. There's people in this building that only do one hour. Unreal. Who?

Kate Holtzby. Only one hour. None of us are willing to bag out Kate Holtzby. You're on your own. She's lovely. Yeah, I know. She's very, very lovely. So, no, super.

And then I bought a lot of Johnny's eclairs. Because, you know, those famous Central Plateau eclairs that I love so much. I bought an entire shop out of eclairs for the family to share. And then this was the highlight of my entire Father's Day. When I said to the girls, oh, here's your eclair. They both said, you can have them. You love them so much. I was like.

I do. I do love them. So, you can have them, you love them so much. And I was like. I do. I do love them. So, you ate three eclairs. Well, four. Because I bought two for myself initially.

Right. Because I love them so much. Six. Four. Four. Okay. And a good bite of Sade's. Okay,

yeah. So, five. 4.5. And then another half of another one. So, let's just. Oh my God, that's so good though. They five? 4.5. And then another half of another one. So let's just round up the six. Oh, my God.

That's so good, though. They are so good, yeah. I went to the mountain at the weekend. First day of spring. Spring has sprung. It has. So that means, nah, three weekends at daylight savings. Yes.

And it's already lighter at night and lighter in the morning. Good. So good stuff. And I took the girls skiing Well I put skis on August And she went up and down A couple of times And she was like

Where's pastor around here? Yeah she's like me Straight to the cafe Because of the wedges and stuff Yeah When I was specifically after pastor I was like I don't think they have pastor here And then we walked into a cafe

They had pastor She's like see I told you I was like I've never seen pastor here Give me a break they had pasta. She's like, see, I told you. I was like, I've never seen pasta here. Give me a break. Hey, pasta's not everywhere. Was it macaroni cheese?

No, it was pasta with sauce and like bolognese. Oh, okay. Oh, right,

okay. I was like, but you know, pasta's not everywhere. She's like, well, it's here. Like,

I couldn't win. God, she's going to love Italy. Oh. Yeah, sure. When she goes there, when she's 20 something and she pays for it herself, she will love Italy. Yeah, sure. When she goes there, when she's 20-something and she pays for it herself,

she will love Italy. I'm sure everybody does. Not on my ticket she's not going to bloody love Italy. But Indy and I were skiing and we were waiting in a line to go up the magic carpet. How great is that? That's like a conveyor belt in the snow. Yeah. I saw your snap.

And even though I'm a grown adult, every time I see a magic carpet, I get so excited. I don't know what it is. Well, we pretended on one ride to be groceries. What were you? Were you a packet

of something? Oh, I just, I think I just said I was a juice. Okay. She was like, because I said, oh, it's like the supermarket.

She said, oh, let's pretend to be groceries. So we're going up and she'd be like, beep. And I'd be like, beep.

I would do, I love beep. I would love that. I would do that. And then when we were waiting, one time when we got our skis on, we were waiting for a bit of everybody that was coming off, we were beeping them as well. And then it stopped. I was like, oh, this one's having trouble scanning. We were having great fun.

Oh, I'm just having, the barcode's on the fold. Where is it? And it starts again, you're like great fun. Oh, I'm just having, the barcode's on the fold. Where is it? And it starts again, you're like, oh yeah, there it is. While we were waiting for the magic carpet at one stage,

the person attending at the bottom, kind of like the hydroslide person. Oh yeah. You always hate that person. They make sure you don't go too close.

I am a big fan of them in the snow because they stop people getting right up on you and if you fall off they're on top of you. Yeah, but the Hydra Slide one, they don't need them. Some would say being forced underwater at the end of the Hydra Slides is pretty bad to do it because some fat kid went behind you too close.

And they're like, oh, that was fun. Oh, there's something under me. And I'm just like, help. That happened to me as a kid. That's why I'm not bad with Hydra Slide attendants. They're okay by me too. Oh, right. You respect the spacing.

I like someone who respects the spacing. Okay. And so the person who was respecting the spacing was just going to check something. You have to keep it clear the whole time. Make sure everybody's all good. And they left and this kid was standing beside the little pole with the emergency stop button.

And his mum said, don't touch that. Like she knew. She knew. Little Timmy had eyed up that big red button. Is it like a game show buzzer? Yeah like a bang. You push it and it stops it immediately. Like those ones that airport convey about. Sometimes I'm just like because they're big

and red and you're just like. Make them less enticing. Like just underneath something. Not red just a black switch. Like a forest green switch. I'll take things I'm going to get in trouble for for 600. Oh, man, I'm in trouble. So she's like, don't touch that. She knew.

And I was watching this kid, and he didn't even look at his mum when she said that. His eyes were focused on the red button. Yeah. And his hand started reaching out. And she's like, I said, don't touch that. And his hand stopped for a minute. Yeah.

And then she looked back the other way. He knew she'd looked away. He didn't take his eyes off the button the whole time. Yeah. He used the force. And he felt that her head had turned away. And he just reached out and went, eh. And push it and stop.

Everyone on the magic carpet, stop. And the person has to come back down. Because to them, the person at the top might have stopped it. Yeah. So they don't know who stopped it, but they come back down and they push the button and turn the key. Yeah, and it starts again. It's a bit harder to get it going again than it is to stop it.

Right. And then it all gets going. And she was just like... When he pushed it and it stopped, she was like, just pretend you didn't touch it. Just pretend you didn't touch it. And Indy's like, he touched that. I was like, I know he did. Don't knock.

No one likes to knock. Don't knock. You saw the kid, he didn't even look at his mum. He's a psycho. He'll shank us with a plastic fork from the cafeteria if we're not careful. So yeah, he goes up. And then I'm standing next to it and I'm like,

I clenched my fist and pulled my hand away So I didn't have to touch it So I was like, he's allowed to touch it Why am I not allowed to touch it? Because I've still got that kid mentality Yeah, yeah, yeah Well, he touched it I want to touch it now

Everybody should be allowed to touch it Not fair, not fair So I was wondering this morning On 0800 dial ZM or 9696 What did you just have to touch? So maybe there was a sign, no touching. No touching. Well, you just knew you shouldn't touch it.

Yeah. And you did. Or do not touch. Yeah. You were just like. It got too much and you had to flip the switch, push the button. Especially as a grown adult. Like, you know you shouldn't.

What's it like in lifts if they've ever got that little bell? Yep. Alarm. Which does nothing. It just rings the bell on the ground floor. So if you're stuck in it, you can push that and someone can come and stand by the lift and be like, are you okay? Yeah. I'll always push that.

I know I'm not supposed to. I don't like when you do that. Ring, ring, ring. Because I feel like there could be a call out and we'll get in trouble or something. You have to do more, I think. You have to do more. Right, okay. So yeah, give us a call or a text.

What couldn't you help but touch? We want to know what you couldn't help but touch. When the opportunity presented itself and you're like, too good to pass up, push. Flick. Maybe there was a big red button and you know you shouldn't. You had to.

Some text messages in, if I ever see a wet paint sign, I always have to test it. Just with the finger. Just a little finger. Just a little push it. Is it really wet? Yes, it is. Yeah, because that's what they said and they take no greater pride in touching it when it's not wet anymore and be like this sign can be taken down.

Just pull it down. I've touched that and it's not even tacky anymore. The paint is 100% dry. Tony, what couldn't you help but touch? So it wasn't exactly me. It was my dad. Okay.

My dad was in an elevator with my mum and decided that it would be fun to touch all of the buttons and just ended up stopping the elevator for about three hours. This is why I say to you, Vaughn, don't press that button. But it's just a little... You don't know that they... What, they had to get rescued by someone? So they got called through on the little buzzer thing and people were talking to them and said,

hey, we're going to let you out on the next level. We've got to get someone in. And they got to the next level, and because they were in the States, they're like, oh, okay, maybe we shouldn't have done that. And so they bolted when the doors opened. Good, good. Always bolt.

Don't hang around. They know the lift's pining up. They can deal with that. Exactly. Thanks, you're cool, Tony. Sarah, what button couldn't you help but touch? So it wasn't me. It was my partner, because I'm smart enough not to push random buttons.

Yeah, I feel you're sensible like me, Sarah. And Vaughn's your husband in this situation. Yes, totally. So we just moved into a new, well, we just got our keys for our new house and we're looking around and we're in our bedroom and I said to my partner, what is this green button in our room? Oh, wait, hold on. No, this is your house.

You said you had the keys. This is your house now. Push away. Push all the buttons. No, no. Well, before I could say, I don't think we should push the button, he said, why don't we push it and find out? So he pushed the button and then the loudest screeching alarm went on.

And as we just moved in, we didn't even know the alarm code to turn it off. So we had to, you know, go find papers to turn it off. And here's me like so mad at him. And it was a panic alarm. A panic alarm. What kind of drug dealers

did you bought your house off? Yeah. An old lady used to own it. So I guess in case like someone intruded, What kind of drug dealers did you bought your house off? Yeah. An old lady used to own it, so. So I guess in case, like, someone intruded, she could just be like, push the alarm. I suppose, well, it's a nice house in a nice area, but it's just like a little green button

by the power point next to the bed. Legit. I just push it all the time. Like, if my wife was hungover, I'd be like, your fault. It is so loud. I'd just be like, can you get me a glass of water? I'm real thirsty.

No, I'll push the button. I'm contemplated putting like sellotape over it or something so my partner does not push it. Brilliant. All right. Thanks for your call, Sarah. Aidan, what couldn't you help touch? Okay.

So I was into Papa and I was about 15 at the time. And I'm kind of impressed with this guy who's, you know, currently my fiancé as well, so it clearly works. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, and in Te Papa they had these little doors everywhere that say do not touch. And I'm like, don't tell me what to not touch. And I opened it, right, and it must have had the fire hose in it

because there's a massive, like, siren started going through the entire Te Papa. My entire class was looking at me. He's looking at me and I'm like, oh God. Closed the door real quick and it stopped.

It was terrible. But it worked. He must like a bad girl. It stopped. I did. But it was like the most stupid way to look bad.

It was just terrible. But I love that. You don't tell me what to do door. I'll tell you. Tip Harper is the place if you've got a thing for all the buttons and the interact because they if you've got a thing for all the buttons

and the interact, because they've got lots of interactive stuff like all the buttons and the dials and knobs and stuff. It's just asking for everything to be touched.

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, it is. It's like, touch me the whole time but not now. Yeah, really don't. All right, I think you call Aiden.

Touch me the whole time but not now. That's sort of interesting to hear you say. Well, that's sort of, it's apparently not the first time you've said that. To Vaughan.

Oh no, definitely not to me. I've heard it many times. Some text messages in. When I was little our cow shed got new concrete. Dad said no one touched the concrete. It's a cow shed though. It's not like it's a driveway. No, but you know what it's like when you see a perfectly you know when concrete's just

finished and it's all been smoothed out. And it needs my footprint. Yeah, it needs some initials carved in it. For all eternity. Anyway, this person put three fingers in it. And it actually, I was like, uh-oh, they tried to smooth it out, it didn't work. And it looked enough like a dog paw print that the dog got in real big trouble, but we didn't. That's good, that's good.

One of my friends is renovating their house, and we were allowed to go and have a little bit of a look, and the builder said, don't touch the pink fluffy stuff. Now, that's pink bats. When you're a kid, though, it looks like candy floss. It looks so nice. So we made a fort out of pink bats. Rolled around it and everything.

Long story short, rash from head to toe. Yeah. That'll do it the pig bats. Yeah, that'll do it. Somebody else said, we were in Taupo many years ago at a second-hand store, and the lady said, oh, hello children. Now, you're welcome in here, but don't touch.

And mum turned around and said, don't touch. So we touched some glass things. They broke. That was pretty good. My sister said she didn't touch anything. And then when she was getting told off, I touched something and it broke. So her mum was just chasing around various glass smashes. I pushed a big red button in a train museum in Nuremberg.

Is that Germany? Yeah. There was a sign that said don't touch, but it was in German. And I don't speak German, so I pushed it. Three grown men screamed like little girls. and I got yelled at in German, which is quite terrifying. What did the button do, though? It set off an alarm.

Oh, okay. In a train museum. Well, don't have that where people can touch it. Somebody said, keep off the grass. In fact, some of this person said, any time I say keep off the grass sign, I just give a couple of quick steps on the grass and then back off. And someone said, I learned the hard way when it said,

do not touch electrified. I said, we'll see about that. And I got the shock of my life and it threw me onto my back. So now I don't touch anything. What have you got to prove? Yeah. I'll show you, electricity. Finally, my Nana was in hospital and I saw this emergency lever on the bed

that says emergency lever. It drops the bed fully flat. Nana was sat up. I sat for 30 minutes trying to stop myself until finally I was like, I said, sorry, Nana, and pulled the cord and it dropped the bed flat and down about a foot. Thought I'd given her a heart attack.

She was not happy. Sorry, Nana. Sorry, Nana, but this lever's too... Watch for that! Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Next stop on our Fact of the Day pub quiz as well in New Plymouth. Not this Thursday, but next. The Good Home in New Plymouth. You can register

online. $1,000 for the winning team as well. So ZM online for that. I thought this would be an interesting fact of the day to follow up Father's Day yesterday and maybe if any fathers are listening and their daughters didn't talk to them for very long or maybe didn't talk to them at all. At all, yeah.

Sadly. But you thought what's wrong because everything else could have been good. You should tell us soon, Megan, what you did for your dad on Dad's Day, because it is the cutest story. I think he nearly cried. Megan told me before you got into work today. Did you nearly break him? I did nearly break him. I think you nearly broke your dad. Yeah. But you

would have talked to him on the phone for a while. You Skyped him, didn't you? Oh yeah, that was like, yeah, would have been about half an hour. So it would be fair to say you're not ovulating? No. Well, I don't know. How very interesting. When is that?

Because today's fact of the day is that women talk to their dads significantly less when ovulating. Because you don't find them sexy. Well, I hope you don't find your dad sexy for the other three weeks of the menstrual cycle as well. You're particularly like, ugh, stay away from me. Can we just have an audio replay of what just happened? Because you just said... You don't find your dad sexy. That's what I said.

We're talking about your dad, not your husband, right? You know that, eh? Yeah. What? I said you don't find your dad sexy. So when you're ovulating, you don't want to talk to them, especially. You don't find your dad sexy. So when you're ovulating, you don't want to talk to them especially. You don't find your dad sexy anytime. No, that's what I'm saying.

I get it now, but when you first said it, I needed a rework. You don't find your dad sexy, period. That's what I'm saying. Well, no, yeah, it's got to do with you, period. Christ alive. But really got to structure your words. I said you don't find your dad sexy. It felt like you find him sexy at other times.

It felt like it needed a spoken comma or something. No. You don't find your dad sexy. Full stop. Right. So when you're ovulating, you do not want to talk to him. Good. Okay, right. Correct.

Is that why? Good Lord. They studied. This is at UCLA and the University of Miami in Cal State. They studied daughter's contact with their father. Okay. Just father-daughter contact all the time. And they noticed when they put these up against the fertility,

the menstrual cycle, that during ovulation, women talk to their father far less frequently. And if their dad made contact with them, they were way quicker to cut it off. Does it say why? So they said they don't know the contents of the calls. All they have is the length of the calls against the menstrual cycle. And they said that they don't know the contents.

So the best they can do is that, yeah, like you say, you avoid men that you are related to when ovulating, and it's a primal instinct to avoid inbreeding. And it happens in mammals across the board. There's some mammals that actually, when they're in the most fertile time, just leave. The women all... Oh, you're right.

The females of the group all separate themselves from the males. Right, kind of like nature's fail safe. Yeah. You'd still ring up dad if you needed money though, eh? Yeah. Cycle or no cycle. Dad can't talk for long? Ovulating. Need money. No, send a text. Wire it through. Yeah.

It'd be like, yuck, dad, sorry. Oh, gross. Can I have some money? Vomit emoji. Look, I'll talk to you in another few days. Until then, yuck. Your sincerely love, not that kind, end bracket, your daughter. Yeah.

But it must be subliminal. Like your body just must do it because like I don't know when you're ovulating. Well, you've never thought, oh, I'm not calling dad. You know. Yeah. Yeah, you've got that app in your phone. You know when people are trying to get pregnant, they've got the app to track their breastfed ovaries

and they're like, ooh, can't talk to dad today. Can you try next time just to have a, you know, half hour conversation with your dad just to see if you like. During that time. Yeah. Because I Googled it. It's like between day 10 and day 19 of like a woman's cycle. So what's day one?

Because is menstrual cycle like the week? Some people think it starts on Sunday. Some people think it starts on Monday. What's the start of it? Well, after, so the cycle lasts like 28 to 32 days. Right. And then the start of it would be after. The day

the period stops. Yeah, I would have thought. Right. That's day one. You're starting again. Sounds like the sequel to that book series, The Day When The War Began. The day after the period stops. Yeah.

So 10 days after your period stops is when you start ovulating. That's when it might feel funny to talk to Dad. According to what I'm looking at, yeah. Okay. That's so weird but fascinating, isn't it? Really fascinating. It's primal. It's so weird but fascinating, isn't it? Really fascinating. It's primal. It's wired in.

We can't help it. So today's fact of the day is that when a woman are ovulating, they talk to their dad far less. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I'm just going to tell you a story about how I won Father's Day yesterday. So behind the scenes, my dad loves pink. And it's kind of weird. I don't know why. Even you find it strange.

It is. It's weird. He's not really Tiger audience. But you look at him and he just doesn't look like. He's a real blokey dude. You're a big blokey dude. You'd think he'd be into some like, I don't know, Fleetwood Mac or something. Which he does.

He does like, but he loves Lady Gaga and Pink. He thinks they're incredible artists. He tags me in videos and things like that, which for dad is a big feat. Yeah. So when he heard Pink was coming, he lost his shit. And he was like, we've got to get tickets, we've got to get tickets.

So I told him we'd missed out a long time ago. Even though you can still get tickets for the last show. I know, but also it was weird because you had to have an American Express. It became difficult. For the pre-sale.

Oh, yeah. Dad doesn't look into this kind of stuff. Right, okay. So I said we missed out. Dad's done know what that means. And if you tell him it's sold out, like, he believes what you say. Yeah, when you see like a Ticketek outlet somewhere still, and you're like, who's using that?

Dad's. Dad's. Oh, yeah. So you told him it had sold out, but secretly got him tickets. And so apparently, and bless his heart, he didn't say this to me. He never showed his disappointment to me. But he said to my mum, look, there was a miscommunication. She thought I was going to get tickets.

She obviously, and like vice versa, I thought she was going to get the tickets. We've missed out. And he's been sulking this whole time. Because those tickets went on sale ages ago. I actually talked to him. He said, I hate her. He said, I know I shouldn't say this, but from one father to another, I He said, I hate her. He said, I know I shouldn't say this, but from one father to another, I hate her.

I hate her. He said to Mark, look, if there was one show I wanted to go to, it was Pink, but that's okay. See, I thought I was joking about how he said he hated her. He's even been reading reviews of how she's gone in Sydney and he's been telling you about how incredible the show is. So he was gutted. He's going to be blown

away because like from what you heard from friends in Dunedin and I've seen her before. She's incredible life. Yeah, I know because he tagged me in YouTube videos. But so yeah, he thought he'd missed out. And every time we've spoken about it on air I've had to watch what I say.

And we nearly put our foot in it once. I said that I was going to pink, but Dad was, he listens to the show religiously, and so he would have heard, but obviously didn't think anything of it, thankfully. But on Father's Day, I, because he's managed to come up to Auckland, but he thinks it's just for a wee weekend. Right. And so yesterday I FaceTimed him,

and I showed him that I'd actually got him tickets to Pink. His little heart. He called me a naughty girl, but I think he got a bit choked up. Yeah. And he said, I've been telling everyone about how I'm missing out on the show. And now, so yesterday, this was in the morning, and then yesterday I was bombarded with text messages from my dad. Yeah.

So first of all, he said, I've been watching, I've just been looking on YouTube at Pink. I particularly like. I particularly, this is set list,

this is hopes. I particularly like Pink and Nate Roos. This is from Fun. Just give me a reason. Great song. I can't wait until Tuesday night.

Thanks so much. Thank you. I love how he went full. Pink and Nathaniel Root and their wonderful song. Just give me a reason. So now he'll be hoping that she does that one

even though it's a big song. She'll do that? Yeah, surely. It's a big song. Then a couple of hours went by and he said, look, I think I need something pink to wear for Tuesday night.

This is good from home. That's a pretty big step. Then another half an hour passes, maybe a pink cardigan. Then I actually noticed on Facebook. He's not going home the same man he arrives. No, he's not. I hope your mum knows that. A few hours later, and Dad's real, real basic on Facebook.

Yeah. Real basic. He's always putting up photos drinking like Aperol Spritz and stuff. Super basic bitch. Yeah. Selfies. I got some of that at Judy Free the other day. Oh, yes.

Yes. Slice of orange. Yeah. Yes. So he put up a status update and this, so dad's not a very, we don't, we're not a family who say I love you. We're not asking you to change his profile picture. Yeah.

And we're not a real like smoochy family. Like we don't say I love you or that kind of thing. So he put up on Facebook as a status update, this old fart is off to pink. Best Father's Day present ever. And I'm allowed time off work. Isn't he his own boss? Yeah.

Wow. We all know Roro's the boss. She pulls the shots. Did you take note Of best Father's Day Present ever Yeah if I was your brother I'd be like

My brother commented on it And I was gonna I was gonna say something I thought no I better not What did he say He said I don't know If you have got that time off

Because my brother Works with my dad So he Not only is he going Not only is he coming up To hang out with me At Pink For the best

Father's Day present ever My brother's gonna have To pick up the slack of work. Wow, that's a double blow. Yes. Oh, you've got to find a big pink top for him. A pink cardigan, he specifically said. If anyone's got a manly, like a manly sized pink cardigan. Well, just go to like Supre and get a fluoro pink.

In like 3XL. Yeah, Supre doesn't tend to cater for dudes as big as Megan's dad.
