Thanks, Sonia. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. September 11th. Drinking game idea. Today, every time someone says, well, technically it was the 12th here. You have to drink. Oh, yeah, right., well, technically it was the 12th here. You have to drink.

That happens every year, doesn't it? Yeah. But, I mean, there's no arguing with the date. No. 17 years ago. Are you kidding me? Yeah. I don't remember it.

Too young. I was way too young. Terrible memory. Or you're too old and you've started losing your memory. That's the bad thing is I don't remember it, but it was 17 years ago. Good Lord. Oh, I know. But I was in my school uniform getting ready to go to school.

Were you guys? Did you get the day off school because of it? Shit, no. No. Not Nelson. Tough parents. Oh, yeah, but we're all traumatised. Oh, yeah.

I was late to uni. Right. Because everybody was just watching the telly, weren't they? Uni. 17 years ago. Uni. No, I mean, what are those, bikes with one wheel? No.

Uni cycle training at the tender age of 12. You can't call radio school uni. No, it's polytech. It was a polytech. Don't try to flash up your school that you went to. I was late to tertiary education. You're now defunct polytech.

Polytech. You're polytech that doesn't exist. Yeah. Yeah. And you got a degree. That's incredible. I know. Well you got a degree, that's incredible. Well two out of three of us have. Madness.

Alright you lot, listen up, it's story time. Alright, three news headlines that I've found online for news stories. Interesting, quirky, unusual news stories. Morning Megan picked one of the following headlines. Headline one, getaway suspect does the job for police.

Headline two, whole village squeaky clean. And headline three, and you thought your cell phone bill was expensive. The who? Whole village squeaky clean. Yeah. Was there some sort of spill of... Detergent. Detergent or something?

Maybe. Some sort of large detergent spill. Yes. But was it like industrial detergent? Was it really bad? Or was it just like a... There were bubbles everywhere. Oh, okay.

Cute, okay, cute. That's all right then. So we don't need that one. What was one again? Story one, the criminal does The work for police Yep Getaway criminal Or

And you thought Your cell phone bill Was expensive So the crim's like Done something Stupid And the police Have caught him

He's done the hard work Sure Three I'm looking for some kind of I'm not going to tell you You've got to pick one Don't you You always do this

You try and I think I went three. Okay. Get the info out of me. We'll go with three. All right. We go back in the past now. Story three.

This is not a story about someone who's gone overseas roaming and run up a huge phone bill like people do all the time. It's a story that appeared online just yesterday about the first cellular phones that arrived in 1984 in San Francisco. Okay. Of course, known for its tech, home to Silicon Valley. There'll be a, what, there's a big iPhone launch, no, Thursday morning, New Zealand time. Details, yeah. The big Apple launch for their new iPhones.

Yeah. And the San Francisco Chronicle, this story delves into its reports in 1984 where $30 an hour it cost for a cell phone. What for? That's not bad, is it? $30 an hour? What do you mean, though? Just to have it? To talk.

Just to talk, yeah. But to have the phones, back then, it cost a lot. So phones in 1984 cost between $1,900 and $4,100 US to install on a car. It was a $39 per month base price. I remember the car. The car phones. When people had car phones? Yeah, you saw one and you were like, oh!

And it was a sign of excessive wealth. Someone's rich dad, eh, had one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, stock agents. That's why we used to see them in the country. Right. Stock agents, because they had to be contactable. Right.

There's a quote as well from someone here. Remember, this is 1984, saying, I really see this cell phone coming into competition with the phone on your desk. So, you know, you're going to take your own phone with you wherever you go. He told them in 1984 and people were just like, this guy's crazy. He's dreaming.

And then he also said, we're a couple of steps away from the Dick Tracy wrist phone, but not many steps. And now think about, you know, your Apple iWatch, your Samsung watches, which, you know, you can put SIM cards in. But yeah, just kind of, I guess, just a rundown of, yeah, how back in the day everyone was like, this is crazy. This is crazy tech. It's the future.

They weren't small, though. No, they were massive. That's why they call them brick phones, right? Because they look like a brick. Yeah. Well, the ones in the car were huge, and they had a cord in the car and a massive aerial on your car. So by the end of 1985, Motorola had created a three-pound phone.

How heavy is three pounds in kgs? Almost one and a half. Yeah. Kgs. So like a block of cheese and a half. Do you remember I had that brick phone? When did I get that brick phone? Ten years ago?

Yeah, and it worked. At the time, it was still on the 025 network. Oh, and then they got rid of that, didn't they? And then they got rid of the 025 network. But yeah, I could still make calls on it, and it heated up and gave you a headache. Oh, that's not good. There's going to be a whole lot of dudes in their late 60s now

who thought they were real hot stuff back in the day with giant lingering brain chambers and ears that are way bigger on one side than on the other. When these phones came out in the Bay Area, only 23 of the nearly 3,000 people were ever allowed on the network at once. Oh. Wow. So it's pretty crazy to think since then. I've never thought about that, all it could carry.

And phones have become so small and tiny and we can get everything on them. Streaming, everything. It's pretty crazy to think, like, since then. I've never thought about that, all I could carry. Like, and phones have become so small and tiny, and we can get everything on them. Streaming, everything. It's insane, isn't it? Yeah. There you go. That is crazy. That the only 24 people, you'd pick up your phone and make a call,

and it's like, not now. The future. Too full. Yeah, what if the person you're calling is not on the network? It was because there's too many people on the network. Tough. You're just going to sit there and be part of an armed robbery, I guess. Yeah.

Joe Rogan does a podcast. I just had to explain to Megan, yes, Joe Rogan from Fairfactor. That's crazy. And he's into UFC, eh? Like, does he host it? Yeah, he hosts and commentates. He's massively into that. Because I Googled him and he's, like, ripped AF. Yeah, and he's this big dude.

Stand-up comedian. Yeah. Who knew that either? Also, his podcast has been around for years. It's huge. It's massive. I didn't know, you've never heard of it. Nah, I've never heard of him since Fear Factor.

I would have been like, what's that dude up to? Maybe it's a Joe Rogan experience. Is it a lad thing? Maybe. Maybe it's a lad thing. There's some ladies out there who are big Joe Rogan fans. But he's had a really popular podcast for quite some time now and he gets massive names to come on his podcast

and he just sits down and has, in this situation, two hour 45 or two hour 50 long conversations. And does the podcast finish with, fear was not a factor for you? No. No. He's left that behind. I've only listened to a few,

but I've never even heard him mention Fair Factor. So the latest one, and the one that's getting heaps of publicity, is the Joe Rogan experience with Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, SpaceX, the boring company. Because he smokes, doesn't he? Yeah, they smoke weed at some stage. Because the part I'm up to, I was listening to this morning,

they opened a bottle of whiskey and they started talking about the whiskey and it was 4.40 and, man, I could have gone for a whiskey. Just hearing the ice tinker around in a glass and everything, I was like, ooh. Yeah. I could almost taste it. Signs you're an alcoholic with Vaughan Smith. Yeah.

The sun's not up and you're like, I could get taste it. Signs you're an alcoholic with Vaughan Smith. Yeah. The sun's not up and you're like, I could get a whiskey. So the big thing that come out of this is that Elon Musk and Joe Rogan smoke weed at some stage in the podcast. I'm not up to that page. Legally in California. So I don't know why there's a, like his share price went down a few percent, didn't it? Yeah, that's weird, eh?

The Tesla shares fell after he smoked weed with Joe Rogan, which is weird that they just took that one specific thing to focus on. And everybody's talking about the smoking of the weed and there's the photos of him doing it and everybody's just like, well, this guy's like that guy everybody knew just after school who was way too into it. The look on his face like he was loving it. But if you listen to the podcast, that's,

I'm not up to that part yet, but what he says about artificial intelligence is far scarier than the photo of him smoking marijuana. Just, I mean, I'm not saying

he's the world-leading expert on it, but he just had some really interesting thoughts on it, that and robotics. I've been seeing a lot of articles like this,

I even read one yesterday that says we should fear artificial intelligence more than terrorism. Well, yeah, it's the unknown. It's the unpredictable. And like he says, we've been, it doesn't exist yet, but we've taught it everything we know already. Like artificial intelligence will get into Instagram and instantly know everything about you and humanity and what humanity values and how to trick humanity. And yeah. But why does it instantly want to, like, be mean?

How do we know it won't, like, want to be the good guy? We don't know it will want to be mean, but it'll want to learn everything. And then if we're, like, shut it off, it's like, well, actually, I don't want to be shut off and I know how to. Yeah. So I was listening to that this morning and be like, sure do need that whiskey more now than ever before.

But yeah, it's – and he said those robots, you know the Boston Dynamic robots, they can run, climb, do the jumps, the flips and everything. In 10 years, he reckons they'll be able to move so fast you won't be able to see them without a strobe light. Oh, okay, great. Like just in an ordinary room, it'll just move past and you'll be like, what was that?

At least we won't get Called up to war Because I wouldn't want to do that Just send a robot Oh I thought you meant Against the robots Oh no I'm not going against the robots I'm on the robots team

Oh you You're already here You're the robots bitch You personally welcome Our new robot overlords Yeah yeah yeah You're like You want to know something

About humanity? I don't think I do About humanity I'll give you all my secrets Just don't hurt me Thank you I'm on your side robots Yeah my secrets. Just don't hurt me. Thank you. I'm on your side, robots.

Yeah, it's like, we don't need you. We've actually scoured your Instagram. We know everything we need to know from you. Yeah. Dead. Gone. Just like that. Yeah, it's a hell of a listen.

I'd recommend giving it a fancy sort of thing. Because I was reluctant because my friend, Orban in the UK is like, you've got to listen to it. I was like, it's two hours 45 long. But the robots already know that. If they're going to tell us something, it has to be quick, you've got to listen to it. I was like, it's two hours 45 long. But the robots already know that. If they're going to tell us something, it has to be quick because we've got bad attention spans. Recently, you know, Elon Musk, we were big fans on the show. And, you know, the whole Thai caving thing and the,

he's gone off the rails a bit, hasn't he? Does this get you back on track? Or is he a penis? No, no, it didn't make me think any less of him. Okay. Because I don't want to listen to it didn't make me think any less of him. Okay. Because I don't want to listen to it and hear ramblings and be upset again. Oh, no, he's right up my alley.

Like, this company he's got called The Boring Company, where they dig tunnels. They made the hats, and he said, if I sell 50,000 of these hats, I'm going to sell flamethrowers. So the hats made him a million bucks, and then the flamethrowers made him 10 million bucks. And then how he started this company is he just dug a hole in LA in his parking lot, his company's parking lot. He was like, everybody find somewhere else to park.

We're digging a massive hole here. Dug down there and just started digging tunnels. As you do. We all know a mate that talks like that, but no one actually follows through. No, no, no. Just Elon Musk. He's the follow through guy for all the crazy ideas. Fletch, Vaughn.

And Megan. The podcast. I want to talk about Jamie Oliver now because not only is he good at 30-minute meals, but he is good at tackling, it seems. He has been called a hero by his neighbours after he chased a burglar down the street and tackled him to the ground. Okay. So when I say street, like he lives on the same street as Kate Moss.

It's ooh la la. Yeah. Okay. He's got like a $17 million eight bedroom mansion. Oh, I was thinking it was like the Dursleys on Harry Potter. Like a sort of a quaint English. No. Suburb.

Or like, oh, or Coronation Street. Yeah, a little brick housing. Coronation Street. Yeah, brick. Suburb. Or like, oh, or Coronation Street. Yeah, something like that. A little brick houses. Coronation Street. Yeah, brick. Definitely brick. So he noticed that someone, and this burglar had been targeting houses up the street as well. Right.

But he was at home with his whole family when this burglar, they described him as an aggressive burglar, was trying to break into his home. And so he apprehended him. And when the guy saw that he was actually home, ran off down the street. Burglars aren't often passive at getting into a house, though, are they? They don't just kind of rub their hands on the window, hoping it's going to open.

There's always an aspect of aggression. Yeah, so one neighbour said they saw Jamie Oliver literally chase him down the street and tackle this guy. Amazing. So all the neighbours came out and held him down until police came. Is it true that when the police got there, Jamie Oliver was screaming at the criminal, do you know what's in chicken nuggets?

Do you know how much sugar I've got in this wheelbarrow? Yeah, do you know what you're in taking into your body? Your body's a temple. Had you not had so much sugar, you would have outrun me. Milk's not for us anymore. It's all right, mate. I'll come to prison and whip up some meals. Yeah.

You know how he goes into schools all the time? Yes, that's good. Yeah. Yeah. Go in there, sort out the prison system. Yeah. Yeah. But I can't admit, he's not a huge dude, right?

Just shows what happens if you eat right. Yeah, true. Fuel for your body. Exactly. Lots of energy. Roses. There's been a couple of changes to the humble roses. Feels weird pluralising it when you just want to say rose.

The chocolate box. Yeah, the box of chocolates. There's a new way of wrapping them because remember they were just twisted at the end? Yeah. They're sealed now. No. They're like, oh, it'll stop loose ones

in the box. There was never an issue with loose ones. That was only if someone unwrapped it and realised it was one they didn't want so they wrapped it back up

and put it in. I know they'd have probably liked that. What have they done this for? Because now you've got to get your teeth in. No, you just tear the ends. Just tear them

like a favourite. That was always too hard. Like a favourite. You've got slippery fingers because you've been adding chocolates and licking your fingers. It's hard to grip the next wrapper to undo it. It really doesn't make a difference though, does it? I know, but it's change.

I don't like change. It's just harder to get into. You like to just, you could grab one end of it and squeeze and push them out and they'd come straight in the end. They haven't changed the colours though, have they? Because that annoys me. No, I don't think they've changed the colours of the wrapping. No, but there'll still be a key on the box, Megan.

I know, but you get used to it. The other change is the white chocolate raspberry flavour. I know, that's up your alley. That's a change. Okay, that is a bit of me. That's a change. Good. White chocolate raspberry. Is this the first white chocolate in here? Yes, it is the first white chocolate

to get into the box of roses. Because as a white chocolate lover, it was always missing from the roses. I feel the favourites is eclipsed roses is the first white chocolate to get into the box of roses. As a white chocolate lover, it was always missing from the roses. I feel the favourites is eclipsed roses is the favourite box of chocolates. Well, roses are basically favourites for old people, right? Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. I would think so.

You buy someone a box of favourites now in place of roses. Yeah, true. But other flavours that have undergone an update are peppermint cream has become peppermint cream crunch. Well, it's got a bit of crunch in there. No. No, that's one of my faves. What is that in there for? Now it's got a bit of crunch in it.

I thought you loved that. A bit of texture. Like one of those chewy buzz bars. No, no, it's got a little crispy bit in it. It's a crisp bit of crispy. No, don't do that. I've already done it. I'm boycotting. No matter what you say they've changed, he's not going to be down for it. It's a crisp bit of crispy. No, don't do that. I've already done it. I'm boycotting.

No matter what you say they've changed, he's not going to be down for it. They've changed the yuck ones like those hard ones, the toffee ones. No one eats those. No, I don't like yuck.

Oh, no, I like those ones. Oh. A bit of longevity. Suck on them. That's why you're supposed to share them because everyone likes different ones.

Yeah, but one of my pubic mints are my favourites. So the hazelnut cream crisp has also had an update. Yeah. The Turkish Delight's had an update. I don't know what they've changed about the Turkish Delight So the hazelnut cream crisp has also had an update. The Turkish Delight's had an update. I don't know what they've changed about the Turkish Delight.

The hazelnut swirl, the caramel deluxe, the classic caramel, the dark mocha nougat and classic milk have all undergone changes. Now that might just be just a change of design

or maybe like crisp was in there a couple of times so maybe a little extra crispy crunch in there. Well, I'm going to need to try a whole box. Yes, I'm going to need to try a whole box. Yes, I know.

You must simply try one of them. So I've got the top six changes to make to the roses next. Okay. You're always going to be constantly evolving. Well, as you say, the chocolate game's competitive. Oh, very competitive industry. Number six, make them bigger. That's both the chocolate and the box.

Yeah, good call. Because times have changed, and if you're thanking someone by giving them a box of roses, what did in the 80s isn't going to do now. No. It needs to be a bigger chocolate. We're fatter. We deserve more food. The chocolate itself needs to be twice the size. But our portion sizes are bigger than the 80s.

Yeah. Which is why we're fatter. Thank you, you're like I don't think you really thank me. got to upgrade the portion size. You know, thank you. You're like, I don't think you really thank me. You give them a big one and you're like, thank you. They're like, oh, yes. You're welcome. I'm thanked sufficiently.

Sufficiently thanked. I'll do it again. Number five on the list of the top six changes to make to roses next. Have the flavour written on the actual wrapper. Because it's the bloody decoding when you have to use the little lip on the box. Oh, yeah. You're not a fan? Because everybody knows

your favourite one. Mine was one of the blue ones. The dark blue and the light blue were always like them. Yeah. So I knew that but then after that I had to go searching.

I mean, the orange one was always orange swirl. And I mean, at least the favourites it's on the wrapper, isn't it? Yeah, it is. You know the wrapper. The name's on there.

I'm just saying just subtly. Okay. It's a nice little subtle change with the name written on there. Number four on the wrapper, isn't it? Yeah, it is. You know the wrapper. The name's on there. I'm just saying just subtly. Okay. It's a nice little subtle change with the name written on there. Number four on the list of the top six changes to make to Rose's next a vegan option.

Do we need that? Well, we're added a nut-free option, a milk-free option, an egg-free option, a wheat-free option, a soy-free option and a fish-free option

or a fish-flavoured one or just a box of nothing. Yeah, put it in a fun-free box. Yeah, a box of wrappers. Hey, you said it, not me. I gave the vegans an option. I thought I was being very progressive. Progressive and kind. Number three on the list

of the top six changes to make to the roses next. Put the cellophane window back in the lid. Because you know you'd pick up a box and you'd shake it around and make a quick judgement of how many of your favourites were in there. Yeah. And you'd be like, not enough. Yeah, that one looks a bit better, but they've got rid of the cellophane lid in the box. Yeah.

It's just straight cardboard now. So put the sunroof back in there so we can have a poof. What's going on in the box? But also handier if, you know, mum's got them in the pantry over Christmas. You can nick a couple before dinners. She won't notice. She won't be able to see the ever-decreasing level of roses. Okay. Number two on the list ofdecreasing level of roses. Okay.

Number two on the list of the changes to make to roses next, bring back the jingle. So because every time I see roses now, the original jingle's been overshadowed by the OutKast song, which is like, I know you like to think your shit don't stink, but lean a little bit closer, see that roses really smell like poo, poo, poo. Yeah, roses really smell like poo, poo, poo.

Right. And roses don't smell like poo-poo. They smell like delicious chocolate. Yeah. Unless you want the jingle back. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Thank you very much for feeding Rover.

Oh, that's right. Thank you very, very much. Thank you very much for having us over. Thank you very, very, very much. You could modernise it. Thank you very much for clearing my browser history. Thank you very, very, very much. Thank you very much for having us over. Thank you very, very, very much. You could modernise it. Thank you very much for clearing my browser history. Thank you very, very, very much. Thank you very much for...

What browser history? Mystery. Mystery. Solving this mystery. Thank you very, very, very much. You give it to Scooby-Doo and the gang. Yeah, modernise it. Get it back.

And the number one change to make to Roses Next after a new flavour and the wrappers have changed, make the box a different shape. Because much like Cadbury favourites, you know what it is before you've unwrapped it. Someone's like, thank you. And you're like, oh, what could this possibly be? Yeah.

Even though you've just received a gift and you're using sarcasm, which is really rude because someone just got you a box of chocolates. Yeah. But maybe like a different shape, size, something that you have to actually unwrap to know what you're getting. That is today's top six. It's Māori Language Week this week.

And to celebrate, there is a new app that has been launched. It's called Kupu. And it's quite clever. Like scarily good. Like you were talking before about Elon Musk and AI and technology. Oh, now we're touching it. Maldi. So it's going to be able to destroy us in any language.

So basically it uses a camera in your phone and you take a picture of an object and it will tell you the Maldi word for it. Like your headphones were headphones. Your cup's a cup. Laptop. And then it will give you the Māori word for that. Yeah. Now, it's powered by Google technology.

Right. So Google's got the technology where it can recognise items and then it's coupled up with knowledge from Te Aka Māori dictionary. Right. So then it can translate it automatically within the app. So I'm imagining with that Any language I mean that's the aim right If Google teamed it up

Have you guys travelled and used Google Translate the app It's incredible You can point at a sign and it will translate it In real time Yeah and it changes it to It's insane So I just took a photo of my coffee cup That was all I took a photo of.

I don't know, is this sound working? Well, it's... Ipu. Oh, there you go. That's good. Yeah. That's good. So that's drinkware.

And then it gives you options. It recognises what it could be. Right. So when it came up, it initially said cup. Kapu. Kapu. Okay. Kapu.

Coffee. That's coffee. Because you can select underneath it, It recognises it as various things. Those are my favourite Māori words, by the way. Do take a picture of your laptop. Because I, first of all, didn't think it would recognise it. And second of all, it's really long. The word for it.

The word for the laptop. This is good. We're all learning. I've got to stay on this cord, though. You've got to get a good photo. Because Megan and I, we wanted to know if it would pick up my booty. But it got my shoes and then we did my face

and it came up with chin. I was just a gin. So you've got a prominent chin. Google just thinks my whole face is a chin. It's a bit rude, isn't it, this time of the morning?

Rorohiko pō naho. Rorohiko. Rorohiko pō naho. Literally laptop. I took a photo of my laptop and it was a laptop. I can change it to computer. By the way, that's just the cord that's behind us.

It's not your left ear. It's not your right ear. It stopped working. It's called kupu. So K-U-P-U. It's electronics. We've lost more now. Actually, it's quite incredible.

I thought it would struggle to find what you're taking pictures of, but everything so far, apart from Fletcher's bum, it's recognised. Should we do my nipple? See if it knows my nipple. Yeah, let's do nipple. What are you doing? I'm creeping.

No, I was taking a photo of a key. Oh, okay. Oh, it didn't know what a key was. Well, it didn't know what the Honda's key was. It might know what a door key. You have to do it on your one. Okay, hit me with your nip. Give it enough space.

Context? Yeah. What does it say? Okay. Bare-chested man. Hold on! I want some oldies for that. Chin and nose chin.

Because your chin's in the top of that photo. A chin again. It's a prominent chin. Bare-chestedness Yeah Man Male Dane Dane

That is so crazy Rate yourself Maihara That's muscle Muscle It's all muscles Maihara Maihara

Well it called me a chin before So I'll take the muscles thing No because it could see your chin Because look your chin was in the top of that Oh yeah right Amazing Are you going to just save that could see your chin. Oh yeah, right. Amazing. Are you going to just save that photo into your gallery? Oh yeah, automatically. I've got it on auto-save.

I'm not a fool. It's an incredible app and Accelerate Multilanguage where you can download it. It's called Kupu. Yeah. K-U-P-U. It is official. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, of course Prince Harry and Meghan Markle,

will be coming to New Zealand. We knew this, but we've got dates and places now. And this will be their first official outing as royals, won't it? Like first overseas ooh-la-la trip. Is that correct? Did I read that? Maybe. I haven't read that, but I'm going to take your word for it.

Let's agree. So they're coming on October 28th, so it's not that far away. Maybe. I haven't read that, but I'm going to take your word for it. Let's do a tour. To the Commonwealth. Let's agree. Let's agree. Yeah. So they're going to go to, they're coming on October 28th, so it's not that far away. And they are going to arrive in Wellington. They'll visit Abel Tasman National Park, which is. Oh, God, what a spot. I class that as my home. That means they'll have to go through Mott, though.

That's okay. Why are you saying it like that? My family in Mott. They'll go over Mott. Yeah, they'll helicopter. They're not driving through Mott. Oh, yeah,. Why are you saying it like that? My family and Mott. Yeah, they're not driving through Mott. Oh yeah, they're not going to drive. Oh, they've got a KFC and a warehouse that could do with a paint. Good. They've got a very nice

new world. They do. Oh no, it's a lovely spot. I mean, that is like one of the, Ableton National Park is one of the most beautiful spots in the country. Didn't she, when we talked to her about camper vanning, before she was a duchess, when she was just an actress. Yeah. And she said she came to New Zealand. Didn't she say she went kayaking somewhere in New Zealand?

Was that the Queen Charlotte sound? Yeah, I know that she did a bit of time in Marlborough because she talked about the wineries. Okay, so maybe it was that. Yeah, I don't know if she said Abel Tasman. She must have though, if they were campervanning around that way, surely. Maybe that's why they're going back, because she loved it. Then I'll go to Auckland and Rotorua. So I don't see any mention of either of your two hometowns.

Okay, you win this time. Just mine. You win. She probably hasn't seen a wind one, though, in New Plymouth. That, I'll have a word to her. And what will she see in Morrinsville? The cows.

The giant cows. The new tourist attraction. Meth. Oh, okay, Machuacca, let's not throw too many drug stones. You've got a good point there.

Let's throw shoes over the power lines instead. Yeah, she'd see cows. There's lots to see. Lots to see. You win this one though. It's a good pitch. Right. So they're here, what, three or. There's lots to see. Lots to see. You win this one though. It's a good pitch.

Right. So they're here, what, three or four days? Yeah. Okay. Three days. How many days in October? 31. I just made that up.

I have no idea if that's... In October. Yeah, 31st of October is Halloween. Oh, yeah, it is. Oh, they're here for Halloween. Shall we invite them to a party? Halloween party. Yeah, everyone can go dressed as them.

And then just tell them that no one will know because everybody will be dressed as them. Everyone's dressed as them. We'll need to stress to Harry that he can't come dressed as an artsy again. I think he learnt. I think he's learnt. FM.

The great saga. Ed Sheeran. Castle on the Hill. Fleece Warner Megan. That'll make sense when I talk about something in just a moment and you'll regret hearing that. We're talking personal grooming because there is a Hairy Habits survey that has been done by Off and On, which is where Vaughan goes to.

That's where I go to get my back waxed. So, yeah, inadvertently you've participated to this. And so has Intern Anya and Calvin and Nicky because I've known the people that started this for years, very good people. Talk to them about Intern Anya's muddy, dried-up puddle situation. You remember we talked about the shaving with the soap and the cheap razor and they were just like,

we've got to do something about this. Right, so they've taken on a pro bono case. Charity. They've taken on a pro bono case. Charity. They've taken on some charity. You know when lawyers want to get a wrongly convicted publicity for the firm. If we can turn this drought

stricken Australian out back around then. And how's it going, Anya? Well, I'm one session in. You didn't because your skin's quite allergic, isn't it? Yeah. Sensitive. And you didn't puff up or anything?

No, I had a test patch and then I had the full kahuna about a week and a half ago. And I'll tell you what, I'm on my way to becoming a sphinx cat. Never compare your Bahain area to a swing's cat. Well, it's better than a dusty mud... What is it? It is. Oh, my God, that was funny. Goodness me.

Well, these people are responsible for some of the hairy habits stats that I'm going to tell you across the country. And it varies between cities. Right. So I can tell you that Wellingtonians, females, most of these stats that I'm going to start with are females, are least likely to up their game in personal grooming

when it comes to summer. They don't change their hair removal habits. They also are less likely to shave their legs than any other city. Because it's so windy and cold, you need the protection, the extra warmth. Yeah, only 62% actively maintain the hair on their legs, women, in Wellington. Okay. So that's the least out of any other city.

Would that be a serious, like, because it is so windy and cold quite often, you wear pants more. Oh, you show your legs way less in winter because you're like, no one's seeing them. You know you're wearing pants, exactly. Until you pull on your jeans and you're charging up a static shock. But you say it didn't change from winter to summer. So are they just rocking bush year round or they don't change? They keep up their maintenance?

So if they are choosing to have hairy legs, they're less likely to change in summer. So yeah, maybe just not a big deal for them. Women in Christchurch are least likely to have tried laser. Wellington women are most likely to wax at home. Having hair-free legs are more important to the women of Christchurch. To eyebrows, I quite... But see, there goes the cold theory out the window.

Yeah, true. Eyebrow shape varies. So Aucklanders most likely to have natural shape, more like Kate Middleton's, whereas the further south you go, the more sculpted and sharp, more like Kim Kardashian are down further south. Right, right.

Now, when it comes to male grooming, this is really interesting. Now, Vaughn, were you actually surveyed for this? No, I wasn't surveyed, but I assume just by going in and getting my back done, they'd also see the other areas of the body and, you know, know. A quarter of the men surveyed, they had tried waxing. One in 10 have opted for laser.

So, and then when it comes to a brozilian, 16% of New Zealand men are getting a brozilian. I can't believe that's a thing. That's where men wax. Like, everything. Where a woman would wax a brazilian, the brozilian. Just give it a trim and get the shaver out. And that's definitely waxing too because when I got laser,

I said, do guys get this? And most places are like, oh, it's too painful for guys to get a laser. Like a zap on the bolos. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. There's something about firing a laser into the balls. Appealing. No, terrifying.

Yeah. I mean, you guys are getting it done, but it's all internal, you know, like the balls are... Appealing? No, terrifying. Yeah. I mean, you guys are getting it done, but it's all internal, you know? Like, the balls are out there. Yeah, true, yeah. So 73% of New Zealand men said well-maintained facial hair was important. And a quarter of New Zealand men also said

it's important to have a hair-free back or chest, which is where Vaughan came in. I've got a hairy chest, but get the back done. Because Calvin said to me, do you want to try one of these brozilians got a hairy chest, but get the back done. Because Calvin said to me, do you want to try one of these brozilians? Which I believe they've trademarked the term. Right. And I was like, oh no, it seems

already unfair that I've sort of sentenced the shard to a life of having a prod round there once every six weeks. It doesn't seem fair that I should have to, you know, bombard the other workers in the salon with having to as well. Plus, you've got to get the skin quite tight, don't you? For a wax?

Yeah. You've got to keep it taut. Yeah. So what, am I in charge of pulling the balls down? No, they are. No. Well, what happens when you get a Brazilian Caitlin? They do everything.

You just lie back and you... You don't have the sag. How much do you want me to go into this? For you, like a moderate amount. A Caitlin moderate isn't everybody else.

There's one region that they do that I have to assist with. Yes. And I have to yeah. You have to spread it. You have to pull it. I have to Yeah. You have to spread it. Do you have to pull it? You have to spread. And just help because it's

Well because they don't have two hands. They've already got two hands. They can't spread and Could they use a knee? Because you know sometimes you've got to hold it. Hold something open. Get a knee on one side. Lather you up. Get it in there. We should get one of you Lather you up. Get him in there. We should get one of you two to try it.

You know? No. What about ingrowing hairs? This is right up your alley. No. Literally. Literally. They'll get right up your alley.

Anya, you're laughing too much at this. I've had it done. A brazilian. Yeah. Remember when we first started working together? I got from top to bottom completely waxed. So wacky radio of done. A Brazilian. No, yeah. Remember when we first started working together? I got from top to bottom completely waxed. Oh, that was horrible. So wacky radio of us.

I know. Did they do your butt? They did the butthole. And the weird thing is, it felt like I would constantly, like, had a little shart. But what was it? You know when you get a bit sweaty between the butt

and they rub together a bit too easy and you're like, uh-oh. It was like that because there was no hair in there. It was just like smooth sailing. Right. Okay. All right. Yeah, it was unusual.

Right. Yeah. Okay. But everywhere, everywhere, the part that hurts the most is the chest and the belly. Yeah, right.

Even compared to the junk situation in the butthole. Okay. It's good to know. No one needs to know. Vaughn's done it. Can speak from experience. situation in the butthole. Okay. Well, there you go. No one needs to do it. Vaughan's done it. Can speak from experience.

Not everybody should give it a go at least once in your life. Yeah. Right. Okay. And it's considering most of us have on this show. It's just you left over, Fletch. I'll be fine. Just trimming.

I'll just trim. Get in there. It's right by your house. There's been a Radio 1 documentary in the UK that people are talking about. A really interesting story. It's called The Announcement. And it follows the story of Laura. This happened a few years ago, but this documentary's just aired.

I think there's a podcast of it too, if you want to listen to it. Okay. She started feeling after Christmas was just tired and was just a bit like, and she thought she put on a little bit of weight, but not a lot of weight. And so she took a pregnancy test and it came back negative.

She was still having her period. She didn't have a bump. She hadn't had morning sickness. And she'd just taken a pregnancy test that said she wasn't pregnant. When she did go to the doctor, she was 37 weeks pregnant. So when she took the pregnancy test as a bit of a maybe I am pregnant, the doctor thinks because she was already past the 28-week mark, there was the hormone that sets off the pregnancy test that left her body.

Right. Which I didn't know that. I didn't know you could take a pregnancy test in the late stages of pregnancy and get a negative result. But by then, most people would already know they're pregnant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But see, she said she wasn't showing. She asked her partner

if he thought she'd put on any weight. And he, like any sane man, said, no, of course not. But then later confesses to the documentary makers he thought she'd put on a bit of Christmas weight. The UK, it's winter,

so you've got winter weight. And then all the Christmas eating, of course you're going to put on a bit of weight. So he just thought that was the situation. Right. And then when she finally went to the doctor, the doctor, as I said, pregnancy test, came

back negative, did all the tests and the doctor's like, maybe we should just try a scan and scanned. So she obviously, there was nothing visible. Not even a little bump. No, not much at all. 37 weeks pregnant, which is crazy because Indy, my oldest daughter, she's premature by six weeks. So she was already three weeks old by 37 weeks along.

So she's like, could have it at any stage. No, no, no. She's had it. This is like looking back. No, I mean at that point. Oh, yeah, at that point. At 37 weeks. Heck yeah.

From 38 weeks, it's all totally on and you can totally have your baby. That's crazy. Safely and everything. Remember we spoke to that woman who was one of those just gave birth and that was the first she knew about it. That blew my mind when we talked to that lady because you never think those people are legit. No. And what's the reason?

It just sits really far back in your body. Yeah, that's the thing that blows my mind. You see some people pregnant and it looks like they actually have just put a beach ball up their top. Yeah. And then you see people like this who are 37 weeks into it and nothing to show. And you might be thinking she was big and she might have been hiding it. She's not.

There's a photo of her and she's not at all. Yeah, right. She's not at all big. It didn't get lost up in there somewhere. Is it just a one-off doco? Yeah, it's a documentary called The Announcement, and it's how they had to kind of then quickly tell everybody they knew who they were.

By the way, we're pregnant. No, she said she didn't believe it until in the ultrasound she saw the heart beating, and then they were like, oh, hold on, I'll turn on the speaker and hurt. And she's like, oh. Wow. Okay, and she had to ring her partner and be like, hey, hon, so you lied when you said I hadn't put on weight because I have, obviously, I'm pregnant.

And yeah, 37 weeks along and then they gave birth and now their baby's, yeah, approaching their third birthday. Started playing the new Spider-Man game last night on PlayStation 4 and let me tell you, nothing but positive reviews. Fortnite's cool because you play with your mates, and it's more about the whole shared experience. But this is just, if you like the Batman games, the Arkham series, you're going to love this. Just get into it, full stop.

There's a story, though, with this game that I think will touch everybody. Yeah. It's quite sad. Insomniac Games are the developers and someone got in touch with them and said, I need your help. He tweeted them. Yeah.

I need your help. This may be selfish, but I'm ready to propose to my girlfriend and I want to do it in a big way. Is there any way you can put an Easter egg of Madison, will you marry me anyway in the upcoming Spider-Man game? Right. So he only messaged them this a couple of months ago. You think the game would be, in the upcoming Spider-Man game. Right.

So he only messaged them this a couple of months ago. Well, you'd think the game would be like, they'd just be tying up all the loose ends. Yeah. So they got back to him and said, okay then, who are we to say no to love? We'll DM you the location of the billboard in the game. Now, in the game, it's on, you know,

outside old cinemas that say, that slide those, you know those light boxes Everybody bought from Typo A couple of years ago And they'd write things like Blith Love Happiness Home

But first Coffee And they'd have them around their house Didn't your wife get one? No She got a light box Yeah She wrote Indian

And the girls names in them And But she does have a But coffee first thing Above the jug And I give a shit about it Every time I bought the jug I'd be a but coffee first thing above the jug and I give a shit about it. Every time I bought the jug I'd be like,

but coffee first. And so, you know those ones that you see outside cinemas and they'd put like what movie was playing and then... The Theatre Marquis.

Bingo. Yeah. They still do them in some places. The Light Up Theatre Marquis. Yeah. Some places still have them. Like the Newmarket cinemas

have them. That's right. Oh, they do. Yeah, yeah. And you see them up on the ladder and they slide the ladders in. They're trying to be classy and stuff. Yeah. So they put it on one of those in the game.

And it says, Maddie, will you marry me? And the, what did you call them? A theater marquee. A theater marquee. Yeah. So they put it up there. Unfortunately, before he could play the game as Spider-Man. Because it only just came out in the last week.

Okay. Before he could go and park Spider-Man in front and look up at the theater marquee and be like, hey, look at this. She dumped him. They'd been together for five years. So you can understand he thought it was forever Yeah And do you want to say the kicker?

She started going out with his brother She contacted him I don't get that It's like cheating with someone That looks the same I know Don't cheat with someone That looks different

They don't always look the same There's a big difference between That's true But genetically it's similar. You know, if you want to experience... It's like having a cheat day, but just continuing

with your diet. Yeah, yeah. Or just putting butter on the grain bread or whatever. Like get a burger. Like try something wildly different.

So she... He got in touch with them and said, she's left me for my brother. And she actually then got in touch with the game. The game people must be like, hey, we're trying to get a game out. We're not trying to deal with all this bullshit.

She's like, actually, you know, I broke up with him. And it was way after that that I started seeing his brother. And everyone's just like. Hell, there's a lot happening. In the game, and this will be a huge game forever. If you know, if you want to see it, you have to get, don't they do different releases of it? They're going to change it.

Yeah, so in a patch update. Yeah, that's what I mean. For Spider-Man. See, you knew theater, Marky. I knew patch update. Together. They're going to get rid of it. Oh, wow.

And change it to something else. Right. Okay. But he planned this like intricate, beautiful proposal. Yeah. In a way. Well, you know, you must have, even if you weren't a fan of video games, He planned this like intricate, beautiful proposal. Yeah. Well, you know, you must have, even if you weren't a fan of video games,

she probably broke up with him because he played too many video games. And he's like, wait, wait, wait, wait. Spider-Man's coming out. Just chill. Everybody relax. You know who doesn't play too many video games? His hot brother. Yeah.

Damn hot brother and his non-video games. Do you know, in studio, we've got a special guest this morning. Megan's dad's in studio. Morning, Wayne. Good morning. We've got a little treat for you after 8 o'clock on the show because you're up for Pink tonight, aren't you? Yep, yep.

No more sleeps. No more sleeps. It's all on tonight. They just watched another video of Pink's live performance. You're very excited, aren't you? Oh, yeah. We've got something to make tonight even more exciting for you soon. Oh, I wonder what was going on.

What's happening, Dave? All right, it's after eight. There's something being trialled, and this has actually been done in the UK, and when I read the story, I was like, duh, doesn't that already happen? Because you know when you need to transfer money to somebody, an online banking, and you say what name's on the account because it's one of the fields you've got to fill out? Yeah.

So like the amount, their bank number, the date of transfer, and it says name of account. Let me bring up our group chat from yesterday. You're so naughty. So you get that. So I always thought, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I always thought that the name had to match. So mine's always VA Smith.

When people are like, oh, what do you want me to transfer? And I give them the bank account number, and I put VA Smith. And heck, I used to even put the branch. Okay. But even though that's taken to even put the branch. Okay. But even though that's taken care of in the code, isn't it? The first two is your bank. The second lot, the four, that's your branch, right? And then it goes into your account

number. So, I always thought V.A. Smith, crucial part of transferring money. And if it went into an account where it was both myself and Sade's initials, I thought that needed to be in there. So I always just put my one because I knew it would just be easier

to do one person's initials. And like when you're paying someone on Trade Me, you just put their name in that they give you. Yeah, okay. Or a company's name. I'd always freak out when the whole company's name wouldn't fit in the name thing. You're like something, something, the LTD won't fit in. And it doesn't matter right

this is what they want to bring in is that it has to match up and all you have to do now is it just has it just has to have a bank account number that works and it will just shoot it through to that account not check against the name and i've thought ever since i was a kid it always checked against the name i've had friends that yeah would go to pay someone on trade me and mess up the number and lose money or have to go to a bank and then have to pay fees so they can investigate and transfer it back. Have it reversed. Yeah, real dramas.

I never give people my name. I've never ever been, I don't actually know what the name of my bank account is. You just put the number. I always thought you had to put the name because it's one of the things, it's why I always put something in the code, the reference and the thing fields as well. I thought they all had to put the name because it's one of the things, it's why I always put something in the code, the reference and the thing fields as well.

I thought they all had to be full. So then what, they're trialling? I freak out when I don't have enough details on a bank transfer. So they're trialling out some new technology. Yeah, some new technology is going to be built where you're going to have to match the name and the number so that these sorts of mistakes don't happen. Right. It's like, it blows my mind, and it shouldn't, but it does,

when you're paying for something by visa and you put in the details online, you put the Visa number in, then you put the expiry date and that thing in the back, how quickly it's like, no, that's not a Visa card. I'm always like, oh, you know. But it only needs the first few numbers, right, to distinguish what card it is. Because you type in a few,

and then it'll go MasterCard or Visa. Oh, yeah, but those are the first ones indicate whether it's MasterCard or Visa, but then the rest, and are the first ones indicate whether it's Master or MasterCard or Visa, but then the rest and then the expiry date and then that thing on the back and it's just like, you know, no, you've got one of these wrong. You're like, you knew so quickly. So, okay, I've got a bone to pick with you because I, we're, a few of us, not Megan and Anya because they're allergic to long drops and camping, but a few of us on the show,

the rest of us, are going to hit the huts, the backcountry huts. Like, Megan, do you want to go tramping? I was like... This weekend. No. She doesn't want to go tramping or trampolining. Either of them. Take pictures.

I'll see it from the pictures. So I've been in charge of organising, or I've been sending out all the gear lists and making sure everyone's organised. You sent out a checklist, right? Yes. And Sade is loving, because I'm too casual. Because Sade's coming too. This is going to be the test. Yeah.

But I'm just so like, no, she's a plotter. She loves to be organised, though. Because that's why when we've travelled together before, you and her just sort everything and I just cruise. Yeah. I just get a free ride. It's like it's a bike with three seats and I'm on the back being like, just getting a free ride. She's loving that you're so organised three seats and I'm on the back being like, shh. Just getting a free ride.

She's loving that you're so organised because I was just like, I don't know, boots and a sleeping bag and some food. Yeah, so I'm there. So anyway,

so I get the hut tickets for everybody and I'm like, okay, here are the hut tickets. Transfer the money into my account. And I didn't give the account name.

That would have freaked you out more. But he gave the amount. Well, I know because I've got you saved. Yeah, oh, you do too. Well, I can't even read out on the radio. I cannot read on the radio what you wrote on my bank statement. That's how bad these words are.

They can't be said on the radio. Can you show me? Oh, fine. My bank has to see that. Well, no, I'm just looking at my outgoing. It's not bad. Mine literally says, paying back Fletch for hot passes. Yeah, on your statement, my statement says something completely different.

You can read a couple of those out, can't you? I can read out lubricant as the reference. That's the only word I can say on the radio. You can read out rings and plugs. It's just the words in front of those you can't read out. Oh, that's going to make a good catch up with your Westpac representative next time you catch up with them. Won't it? All right, let's check and see how your accounts are going.

Whoa, okay. See you later. FEM. Tonight, am I right in saying Pink's last show here in New Zealand? Still tickets available for this last show, I believe. There are. It's her last New Zealand show. Every night I have seen incredible videos,

friends and just people that have been to these shows and it's amazing to watch. Yeah. And I've been tagging Dad in a lot of these photos because I'm taking my dad, who is the biggest Pink fan I know. I like Pink. Don't get me wrong. I would probably want to go see her show too,

but I really wanted to take dad because he's a super fan. And I've been tagging him in all these videos that he runs posting. And to bring people up to speed, Wayne, you were surprised on Father's Day with Tickets to Pink. You thought you weren't going. You'd missed out. Yeah, I thought we'd missed out. But yeah, just a little bit disappointed.

Was there a tear? Surprised. Oh, yeah. Oh, really disappointed, I suppose. But yeah, no. I got over it. I'm not going. I thought that was going to be the end of it.

But yeah. You got a little bit emotional when I gave you the tickets. What did I? I can't remember that. And you did a status update on Facebook saying it was the best Father's Day present ever. Did I say that? Yeah.

He was caught up in a whirlwind of emotion, Megan. He was in shock. He can't remember what he did. Yeah, I know. What he said or did. I don't put much on Facebook, do I? No, so it was a big deal. It was a big deal.

That's how excited you were. Yeah. Well, the day's finally here. Zero sleeps. Yes. So you must be. Did you wake up? Did you sleep well last night?

No, I was awake at two o'clock this morning. Is that why you came to work with Megan? She gets up and you're sitting in the lounge? I can't sleep. What, so a nap this afternoon? You'll be buggered. Oh, I don't get a quick nap. Yeah, I'm getting on a little bit now.

So, you know, I want to see the show. Get a napper. Yeah. So, yeah, a little bit now. So, you know, I want to see the show. Get a napper. Yeah. So, yeah, he didn't sleep well last night with the excitement. Now, we mentioned yesterday on the show we surprised Megan. Do you know what Snapchat is? You wouldn't use Snapchat, would you? No, no, no, no, no.

No. I'm not as good as Bev. No, no. No. Bev's all about the Snapchat. No. We made a filter for tonight's show. So if you're going along tonight, there is a filter, a Snapchat filter.

Yeah. So I've just been showing Dad, when you scroll along the bottom, there's like filters that say where you are. There's going to be a filter for you that has your face on it when people are at Spark Arena that says you love pink. So thousands of people with Snapchat there tonight can Snapchat their friends

and it'll say at the bottom, Wayne loves pink. The little photo of, yeah. Oh, for goodness sake. Yeah. Now, what are you going to wear tonight,

Wayne? Because you're wearing your no fair polo at the moment. Yeah. Are you going to wear that? Oh, no. I don't think you'd be trying to hunt around for a pink cardi

They did not cater for the grown man at Miley Cyrus. I think Pink would have an extensive range. Yeah, I feel like she would. Well, you don't need to worry about that, Wayne,

Another true friend. Lost all fear. What do you tell them when they're, like, giving you a stick for going to pink? What's your explanation? Well, they haven't really listened to that. They don't really know a person can actually sing. They're a bit like Lady Gaga.

People can, you know. You appreciate the artistry of pink. I do, I do. Yeah, yeah. You really do. I'll tell you what, Wayne, you should pop out to the bathroom and do a quick costume change for us. Not a problem.

That would be great. And we can model that online. We'll get a photo up on our socials, FVMZM, in a couple of minutes because you're going to look great. And if you see Wayne tonight and Megan, be sure to say hi. Even grab a photo. And don't forget, use the Instagram. Grab a selfie and use the Snapchat filter.

Oh, Dad would love that. I'll be everywhere. Don't even do that. I'll be there early. Before or after the show, please don't interrupt Wayne's pink viewing experience. Oh, no. No. No. No.

No. Not during the show. Next on the show, we need to ask a very important catering question because we are hitting the bush this weekend. We're tramping. Yep. Well, not Megan and Anya.

They're allergic to long drops. But Caitlin, Vaughn, you're coming. Yep. James, the producer, he's bringing his girlfriend. You're bringing your wife, Sade. Correct. Is it her first time tramping? She has taken pride in telling me

that she went to OPC. You know me? What's that? I don't know. OBC is the people who sung How Bizarre. No, it's the Outdoor Pursuit Centre. Oh, right. Okay.

Yeah, she says she's hiked. She knows her stuff. Well, a question came up this morning and it got us all very heated and very argued and we want to pose that to you next. We want to poke the beer again and argue again. It's about toasted sandwiches, if you must know. For serious issues this morning.

Yeah. FEMZM on Instagram if you want to see Megan's dad in his new pink T-shirt, ready for tonight's show, modelling it. Pink's his colour, I think. It looks great. Looking great. Matches the grey hair, doesn't it? I think a baby pink, it's the grey hair that really goes well with a baby pink.

More older men should wear this pink, I think. It really pops the pink. It does, yeah. Very true. The pink pop. So this weekend, we're hitting the walking track. We're going hiking. Yeah, two nights in the bush. Yeah. The pink pop. So this weekend we're hitting the walking track. We're going hiking. Yeah, two nights in the bush.

Yeah. The usual suspects, Fletch and I, James, Caitlin, are joining us, James' girlfriend and my wife. So there's six of us, bit of a group going. Megan, now I want to say at this point, Megan and producer Anya did have the option of coming. You did invite us. We said no, thanks.

I don't believe there was thanks the first time you said no. I'm surprised that you are fine with going with such a large group, Fletch, especially people who aren't known for their fast walking. It's going to be testing. We'll see how this week. Oh, Sharni's freaking out about it. I was like, look, he can leave. He'll go.

I'll just meet them at the next hut. Although the last time I walked ahead of Vaughan and our friend Nathan, they nearly got lost. We did get lost. The sun started to set and we missed our marker because we were chit-chatting. So I don't think I'll shoot ahead too much. No, but there's only one track. Yeah, it's hard to get lost.

And you've done it before. Yeah. Well, I just followed you last time. So first debate, because there's been a gear list sent around and like ideas for meals. And I'm just going for that stuff that you put boiling water in and seal it back up

and let it be done. The dehydrated food is the easiest thing. And Caitlin's got, what did you tell Sade? You've got rice, tuna, and vodka. That's her entire idea of sustenance

for the weekend away. And I said, I've got in the garage a Jeff Lion. Now, this is toasted sandwich. This is a toasted sandwich maker that you put into a campfire. Okay. And it's like on these long metal handles, and it's got wooden handles, and you put the sandwich in, you clamp it shut,

you put it in the fire. I was like, I've always wanted to take it. And I quite like the idea, because it's been so long since I've had a good toasted sandwich. Yeah. I love the idea of making a toasted sandwich on the campfire. I'm so excited about this. If it's cold, if it's wet.

Yeah. Camp, it's going to be good. It's going to be a heart warmer. It could be the entire mood changer of the weekend. However, with space at a premium, we said there's only going to be enough room for toasted sandwich ingredients of one variety. Enough for everybody, but one variety of toasted sandwich. And that's when it kicked off.

It kicked off. The arguments. Because everyone's got a go-to combination for when they're going to make a toasted sandwich. So I proposed instantly, well, you've got to do cream corn, cheese, and bacon. No. No. Stat. I was with you two thirds of that way. Now the bacon I'd imagine would need a sizzle in the pan before it went in.

And then chopped up into small bits. I don't mind if there's no bacon. Because I'm planning on doing bacon and eggs for breakfast for our camping trip. So cream corn and cheese. You cannot beat that as a toasted sandwich combo. You can by removing cream corn because cream corn is diarrhea. That's no. Cream corn, that's what cream corn was made for, toasted sammies.

You know, producer Caitlin's like, no, just take kernel corn. Yeah. Oh, no, you're a monster. It's a monster. Cream corn, at least it doesn't look like vomit. Yeah, cream corn is yuck, but corn kernels plain on bread would be way worse. No. Like, where's the creaminess coming from?

What is the creamy part of cream corn? It's just tomato sauce in. Tomato sauce, kernel corn, cheese. Look at the onion. What is wrong? Let me, okay, onions in. I'm across the board, onion. Cream corn, cheese, and a sprinkle of onion.

Can't beat it. Spaghetti, cheese, onion, bacon. See, that's what I do. Can't beat it. Spaghetti, cheese, onion, bacon. Oh, too busy. Okay, too much. See, I don't mind a spaghetti toastie, but it's second to a cream corn.

Whoever's using baked beans and a toastie, get out of my family. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They're not welcome. Get out of my family. You're disowned. You can't have bacon in a toastie. You're going tramping as well.

That's like too... No, no, no. Bacon's a treat. You get yourself a thin pack and it just sits in your pack because it doesn't... If it's sealed, it doesn't need to stay

refrigerated for... James, producer, what's your... Yeah, cream corn has no place in a... Oh, what? There's my boy. There's my boy.

We're on our way to a majority rule on cream corn, my next name. Go with cheese, sprinkle of onion and if, I mean, if you're feeling

a bit expensive, get some bacon. For sure. But cream corn, nah. What about pineapple? No. Just pineapple and cheese. I don't know. Pineapple, onion, and cheese.

Pineapple, onion, bacon, and cheese. Not bacon! Why do you want the bacon so much? Because it's bacon. Do it. Yeah. What further explanation do you need, your honour? You're putting too much on your toasties. It's going to explode as soon as. Do it. Yeah. What further explanation do you need, your honour? You're putting too much on your toastings.

Like, it's going to explode as soon as you bite it. Yeah, this is a classic Will Smith homemade pizza scenario too. I always load that thing up and then you've got to cut it and it all just slides off the top. And it's doughy in the middle because it hasn't cooked through. Somebody's proposing tomato. Here's why that's a bad idea. No, yuck.

Too expensive at that time of year. Exactly. They hold their heat pretty much like lava food. Get squished in your pack. And they'll get squished in the... Yep, exactly. What's Anya hitting for a toastie? Well, she's not coming

so her vote doesn't count unless it's cream corn. Well, we heard Megan out. Not cream corn. No corn. Put that corn away. Put the corn back. Get in there,

you dollar-shaved ham from Pack and Save. Ham? Okay, I like what I'm hearing. I like what I'm hearing. I like what I'm hearing. A little cheese and a little white bread, maybe onion if you're feeling flash, and Bob's your uncle, that's a toasty.

Ham, cheese, and onion. But see, that's pretty dry sounding. You're going to need butter in there. You need something... Well, no, you need butter on the outside. Yeah, but a marge on the outside. You'd have a lot of cheese. Did you just say marge?

You're off the Toasted Sandwich Committee. No, do you know what you need to put on the outside of toasted sandwiches is mayonnaise. That's what crisps it up and makes it golden brown. You are welcome. I mean, that sounds wonderful if you're doing it at home, but I'm not carrying a tub of best food. Yeah, I'm just carrying all of this because I will carry tomato sauce

sachets and plastic cheese and white bread. Oh yeah, plastic cheese is pretty legit. And we're done. How glad are we we're not going on this tramp, aren't you, hearing all these domestics? So glad. I've got all this extra stuff Caitlin needs to take in her pack. She's like, I can't fit it. There's vodka in there, taking up

all the room. No, I'll put the whole bottle of vodka in a super pump and then Bob's your uncle or a camelback to drink on the go. This time, don't set the place on fire, okay? That's your only... Hey, that was...

We haven't done that again. That was once, Megan, that we nearly set a hut on fire. Once. And don't do it again. And you'll never let us forget it. I mean, we're going to literally have an open-doored fire as we're making explosive toasted sandwiches. It could happen again.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day! Day! Today's fact of the day is that Prince Charles is a magician. Prince Charles is a registered, recognised magician. Prince Charles is a registered,

recognised magician. He is a member of the Magic Circle. That's a British organisation dedicated to promoting and advancing the art of magic. Why haven't I seen him do like... Oh, I thought this was a joke. A magic trick at like a children's hospital or something. Or has he?

And I just have missed it. Well, I don't know. Maybe he's keeping it under his hat. I don't know. But yeah, he's studied it. He knows. Weird. He knows magic.

So this was an all-male club until 1991 when 75% of the men were like, phew, sausage fest in here. Let's get some ladies in. So then, you know, it opened it right up. So membership, if you want to join, you can spend two years as an apprentice before applying for full-time membership.

Right. You need to know at least two current members for at least a year and must be at least 18 years old. So you need references and everything. You can choose to write a thesis or do a performance exam. If you do a thesis that is read by two fellow magicians, and a copy is made available and submitted to the Magic Circle Library. Then there's a vote by the members of council

who will approve the candidate as a member, and then they are free to call themselves members of the society and use MMC after their name. And Charles, Prince of Wales, is one of those members. Dynamo is also in there. Dynamo's a magician though, so that's unexpected. Stephen Fry is another big name. Is he?

That's a recognised member. I googled it and it said he passed his test or audition by doing the cup and balls trick. You know, the cup over the balls and then you switch it round and like, where's the ball? Where's the ball? Where's the ball? That's not a trick. That's not a great trick.

Did they make it easy because he's the Prince of Wales? Maybe. It's like, look, I can make a ball just like that. No, but if you follow it and then he lifts it up and it's not there,

like that's pretty clever. He just slides it off the table. Is that what they do? Is that what they do? Yeah, they slide it around and they like pull it off the table. I always wondered how they made it just there.

Or they make it stick to the top of the cup. They've got a magnet and they go, and then they pull it up and they're pull it off the table. I always wondered how they made it just there. Or they make it stick to the top of the cup. They've got a magnet and they go... Oh, right. And then they pull it up and they're like, see, it's not there. And then put it down and take their finger off, which was magnetising it back up. They're crafty buggers.

You're the worst to go to magic shows with because he always does this. He's like, oh, that's easy. Oh, no, I've tried to stop. Like if you go to a proper theatrical show, I'm not that guy that sits there being like, easy. Easy. I actually do enjoy magic. But yeah, I thought everyone,

because I got a Paul Daniels hanky-panky magic kit when I was a kid. Hanky-panky. Yeah, you wouldn't get away with calling a magic kit the hanky-panky kit today in the current climate. No. But yeah, and you did tricks and there was a whole lot of like different little bits

and that was one of them, the cup and ball. Right. That one actually was like the ball was Valkyrie, so the trick was to get the ball to jump up and stick to the top. Oh yeah. And then you could twist it and it would fall back down. But yeah, a bit of hanky-panky magic there. So today's, I wouldn't pass the test, I don't think.

No. I wasn't smooth enough. So today's fact of the day is Prince Charles is a recognised member of the Magic Circle, aka a magician. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I want to know right now if anybody listening has ever put out a lot of people because they slept in and were late for work. Like, because, you know, most people, if you're late to work,

say you work in an office, you just get there late and, I don't know, you're maybe inconveniencing a few workmates. Yeah. You might get in trouble or you just make it up at the end of the day. No big deal. Yeah. But there are in trouble or you just make it up at the end of the day. No big deal. Yeah. There are some jobs where it's vital you're there. A pilot.

Exactly. Like you could be doing the first flight of the day. Yeah. Out of a region or out of an airport and you don't turn up so then they've got to get some cover. Flight might be late. Something like that.

The reason I ask is because a flight, apparently an air traffic controller, has been late to work. This was a tweet yesterday from the police minister, Stuart Nash, who is flying from, I believe, Napier to either Wellington or Auckland. He tweeted, Oh, sick! 20 minutes yet again for the second Monday in a row because air traffic controller turned up late for work. Oh, sad. Do they have that as the official reason they were 20 minutes late?

Well, that's what he tweeted. So that's what he's saying. So I don't know whether he was talking to people or they said on the plane, look, we're just waiting for air traffic control to turn up. Right. So I'm imagining it's just one person and they're not there so they can't take off.

And it's not a one-off thing either. This person's like tardy. Well, they're saying, yeah, for the second Monday in a row. They're just going to sleep in. It's Monday's suck. It doesn't matter what your job is, does it? But imagine knowing that the planes aren't going to take off without you. But that also, wouldn't that not, correct me if I'm wrong,

and I know a lot about air traffic control, but wouldn't that have a flow-on effect to other airports? Well, it just means that plane would then be delayed wherever it goes for the day. So that plane's late taking off, but they're expecting it in Wellington, and then when it gets there, a plane has to circle once or something

because the Napier plane's coming in, so that plane's a little bit late to land. Maybe, yeah, maybe they can make up some time, but yeah, it could have a bit of a knock-on effect. By fanging it. By fanging it. Yeah. But I just wonder if anybody has ever been late for work

and it's put out lots of people. Like your job is important and you have to open something and you're the first one for the day. You know what I mean? It must be nice to feel a bit important though. Like you've got some power. Yeah. Nah.

I don't have it. I don't want it. You don't want the power? That's you've got some power. Yeah. Nah. I don't know, I don't want it. You don't want the power? That's not the sort of power I want. I want superpowers, not the power to put people's day out bad or good. Right.

Just want to be able to fly, you know. So I want to take some calls. 0800 DARS.M now. 9696. When did your sleep in put out lots of people for work?

0800 DARS.M. We want to know when your sleep inin put out lots of people for work? 0800-DARLS-IT-M. We want to know when your sleep-in put out a lot of people. This news story comes to us after the police minister was on a plane and tweeted that the plane was late by 20 minutes yet again for the second Monday in a row because of an air traffic controller turning up late for work. So I don't know if they slept in or they were just late. Lots of text messages of people who have slept in

and it's put a lot of people out. I was a hotel chef reads this one. I was on breakfasts and I slept in. 60 guests in the house. All other chefs had their phones on silent. Plus who answers their phone at 4am. No breakfast for all the guests. Which isn't bad.

You'd be in so much trouble. So much trouble. I'd be so angry In the morning If I didn't get like buffet eggs Yeah Especially if I'd book Do you know when you book online

It's like free breakfast You're like yeah I'll take advantage of that Where's my eggs I slept in once When I was looking after A warehouse building 35 people had to wait outside

I don't think this is the warehouse Our warehouse Okay yeah 35 people had to wait outside Until I arrived I snuck around the corner And just watched. 35 people had to wait outside until I arrived. I snuck around the corner and just watched them for five minutes while I had a coffee and ate my breakfast. Five more aren't going to kill them.

You know when someone's late for something and they're holding a takeaway coffee, it's like, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. No, no, no. At least hide it. You had time to get a takeaway coffee and you're five minutes late. Yeah.

Sorry, I'm late. God, I've been such a rush this morning. Traffic was terrible. I had to... Oh, they just walked us up to the traffic lights. Amanda, when did your sleep in put out lots of people? It was a few years ago, but yeah, I worked at a super liquor and we meant to open at 9am.

Yeah. And, well, I had about 10 of the local guys waiting for me. I worked at a super liquor and we meant to open at 9am. Yeah. Well, I had about 10 of the local guys waiting for me. 10 people? Get out of town. How late were you to open? About an hour and a half late. And they're just like, where have you been?

Yeah, they were like, oh, did you have a good night last night? I'm like, hmm. Yeah, says the person in the booster at 10.30 in the morning. Yeah, children shall be cast. That shows how ignorant I live, eh? I would have thought no one would go to a booster until at least after lunchtime. Oh, no, there is a lot. Wow.

Amanda, thanks for your call. Geri, when did your sleep in put people out? Oh, I was super hungover and slept through my alarms on a Sunday morning and I was meant to be opening up a gym. And when I arrived about 30 minutes late, everybody was running at the door and they were so angry. Oh, silly them. It's Sunday.

Yeah. I know. Angry gym people. Did you come up with an excuse like, oh, sorry, but the water mains burst? I just told them that I got the wrong keys from home, and I had to go home and get other keys. What time in the morning did you have to open this?

I have no idea. Maybe it was, like, 8 o'clock. It was so long ago, but I was just, I must have looked like death. So they weren't buying that excuse, then? No, they weren't. No. Jerry, thanks for your call. Some text messages in.

Somebody said, in my job, if I'm late, there's 360 ladies who get very upset with me. Making a whole lot of noise. Cow they cows? Dairy farmer. Yeah, I knew that was a dairy farmer joke. They just like, shut up cow, what have you got to do? I was a key holder at a kids

holiday program. I was late because I walked out the door and the door shut behind me locking my car keys inside my house oh no so cue me getting flustered uh angry ending up climbing through the window rushing looking a little sweaty and arriving disheveled yeah many angry parents when i got there uh claiming that i was hung over and that was the reason why i was late but it was just that I had to scramble in a window in my house to get the keys again. So, another

reason not to be in charge of other people's children over the school holidays. I mean, at least if we turn up late to work, the music just keeps playing, doesn't it? Yeah. And at least one of us will turn up. That's what I would always think. It's kind of sad that we're not missed. Dispensable.

It's an awful realisation. I'd rather be on this end of things than sleep in and arrive and someone's dead. Like a patient. Oh yeah, because you slept in, you missed your operation. Because they'd ring me, I'm a brain surgeon, they'd ring me, they're like, how far away are you? I'm like, two minutes, I'm just parking

my car, that's me waking up. They're like, alright, well, anaesthetise. Yeah, yeah, bro, cut them open. I'll be there in like two, easy, easy. And then I get in the shower and it's hot and I'm like, what was I supposed to be doing? Oh, brain surgery. And then I'm late again and I get there and they're like,

he died. I like that you're a brain surgeon in this story. Well, I went for a high profile one. Right. If you're going to dream, you might as well shoot for the stars. If you're making up an occupation. Go for a high profile one. Right. If you're going to dream, you might as well shoot for the stars. If you're making up an occupation. Go for a good one. Yeah, go for a big one.
