ZM. Head music lives here. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Thank you very much, Anya. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Happy Thursday morning. Thanks. You're welcome. You all right there, Vaughan? Just getting sorted. I had a little bit of a sticky, sticky headphone situation as I tried to expand the headphone.

See, you'll notice that it's got a bit of resistance to it. Oh, yeah. A bit more than usual. Is there something stuck? And you've burnt out your laptop charger. Yeah, that actually caught fire. So that's great as well. So, you know.

What are you doing to your electronics? Treating them mean, keeping them keen. I don't think that's how it works. Well, I don't think IT are going to give you a new cable, are they? They didn't want to. Apparently, it's my third. So I've just asked for a whole new computer. That seems like the logical explanation.

Why not? Because then it's going to make it look like a cord is a far more reasonable request. Yes, it's a good play from you. Say no to both of your requests. No, but I'll really go in hard on the computer things. They'll be like, oh, should we just get you a cord? Trust me, I know how people work.

I just wouldn't use my computer. And then when they're all like, oh, we're trying to email you, I'll be like, oh, you haven't given me a cord. It's like when they're trying to charge you $5 for a swipe card. It's like, well, if I can't get into work, I'll just go home. I'm not paying $5 to work here. And they kept our data, so I just deleted

work email off the phone. I'm like, that's unnecessary kilobytes. But it all adds up. It all adds up. It does. It all adds up. You know, I could watch one YouTube video or receive 20,000 work emails. I'll tell you what.

It'll be a YouTube video every time. Way more fun. The top six is coming up. Yeah, there's a new feminist monopoly. Yeah. Ms. Monopoly. Ms. Monopoly is coming up. Ms. Monopoly.

Is this official monopoly? I believe so, boy. Wow. Okay. So there's a few rules. We'll go over the rules. Is this official monopoly? I believe so. Well, okay. So there's a few rules. We'll go over the rules. One of them I'll tell you right now is when women go around the board, they get $240 when they go past go versus the man's $200. Oh, we're just making up for lost time.

Or the pay gap. Are you sure you want to do this? Yeah. When is there going to be a Mr. Monopoly? That's what you want to do this? Yeah. When is there going to be a Mr. Monopoly? That's what I want to know. God. It's been ages. He's the guy that's like.

It's a hard time to be a man these days. You know the guy with the monocle? Yeah. He's like, hello, sweetheart. Oh, you want a bit more money, do you? Have $40. Have a good round, love. We'll see you next time. Help you out Have $40. Have a good round love. We'll see you next time.

Help you out then too. Pat pat. Wow, this will be a fun top six. Alright you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. I have sourced three news headlines

from news sites around the world. Interesting, quirky, odd stories. And Vaughan and Megan, you deliberate, decide one headline only as per. Huge. Headline one, warning to ban all watches. Headline two, Indian man ages quickly. And headline three, garlic world rocked.

Ooh, I like all of those. Ooh. I like all of those. You know I'm keen to get rid of watches because... You don't need them. Just use your phone or your computer. Or digital watches can stay. Yeah. The Indian man ages quickly. What was the last one?

Oh, the garlic world. Yeah, but we love garlic. The garlic world has been rocked. Yeah, I believe so. Well, apparently it has been. How good is just a whole bulb of garlic? Nah, see, I always get the pottle where it's already mixed. No.

See, nah, I get that because you do that sort of thing. But if you're roasting You don't do a roast Oh yeah if you're doing a roast Yeah A whole bulb A whole bulb of garlic Because if you've never seen

Keep them at bay Keep them at bay with a bulb of garlic And chuck a couple in your slow cooker as well. Oh, la, la. C'est soit. Delicious. I can't find,

I was Googling the garlic story. You're not allowed to Google. I was providing sufficient cover. Is that what you were doing? Yeah, I was delaying. Were you sucking me into a...

Yeah, yeah, a garlic chat. A light bit of garlic gossip. And to see what was happening. I think that's got legs for a regular feature. A light bit of garlic gossip. And to see what was happening. I think that's got legs for a regular feature. Garlic gossip. Garlic gossip. It could do.

Okay, we'll pick one. Recipes, health things. Megan, stop Googling. Was it someone was thought to be drunk, but they actually had too much garlic? No. Wow, someone became intoxicated with garlic. I don't think that would rock the garlic world. Oh. Wow, some of them became intoxicated with garlic.

I don't think that would rock the garlic world. Oh yeah, true. Pick one. Do you want garlic world rocked,

Do you want Indian man indian man ages garlic garlic wood rock garlic wood rock okay we're going garlic rock rocked okay i would have gone with the indian man no it's too late now it's too late a A Tasmanian woman who was arrested for putting Australia's agricultural sector at risk for illegally importing garlic bulbs marked as office supplies will spend two months in jail. Wow.

Sorry, what country was this person in? Australia. Australia. Australia running some sort of anti-garlic? I don't know. It was just a... Such a biosecurity no-no. It was similar to obviously New Zealand. They've got the strict biosecurity

laws like we do. And I don't know what would happen here if you were caught importing garlic. Well, it does say on those posters that there's potential jail, right? You could face fines or jail time. So, Letitia Ann Ware, she's 53. She pleaded guilty to 10 charges, including the aggravated illegal importation of plant material.

Aggravated. Aggravated. That's like putting on a balaclava and robbing a TAB. Yeah. Aggravated robbery. Give me my bloody garlic. She is the former chairwoman of the Australian Garlic Industry Association. So she loves garlic.

Former? Yeah. Now, did she lose her job as a result of this faux pas? I'd say so. Because they would call her the current. Yeah. She broke bad. So she had imported 2,000 garlic bulbs,

which Australian authorities say could have been infected with the disease, considered to be the biggest threat to Australian biosecurity. So taking this very seriously. Whoa. Yeah. Why didn't she just import them legally? I don't know if you can.

She was jailed for 11 months, but she'll be able to be released after two. I mentioned being in prison, and they're like, what are you in here for? Garlic importation. Garlic importation. Aggravated. Aggravated. I did it with a gun.

Yeah, I'm dangerous. Back away. Right. The Indian man was 32. He was caught impersonating an 81-year-old to board a US flight. Don't do this. I saw that. Yeah. I saw that story. I mean, just what flight. Don't do that. I saw that. Yeah.

I saw that story. I mean, just what you should be doing around the anniversary of September 11th. Yeah. Come on, mate. Yeah. He's trying to immigrate to, immigrate to, what's it? Immigrates where you go in, immigrates when you go out. Immigrate.

He was trying to immigrate to America. But why not just visit as a tourist and stay there? Yeah. Like without the disguise. Yeah. Somebody said the giveaway was his passport said

he was born in 1938 yet his skin was flawless. Apparently his voice didn't match an 85 year old or 83 year old's either. Oh, come on, guy. He went to the trouble of getting a grey beard and everything. Yeah.

It's John Mendes, Camila Cabello, senorita. Senorita. Senorita. Senorita. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast, ZM. Sean Mendes, Camila Cabello, senorita. It's a much better pronunciation there. Señorita.

Muy bien. Muy bien. Española. There is a study. I just need to wait till the end of that. There's a study that's been released. Scientists have discovered why we get a little bit chunkier as we get older. And even if you don't change anything,

you eat the same, you exercise the same as you did in your 20s or whatever, and you still manage to pick up the kgs. So it has found that the body's ability to remove fat from where it's stored slows down as you age. So it's not necessarily metabolism, but it doesn't matter if you keep doing the same thing. You need to overcompensate when you get older.

So you need to adjust your diet and your exercise even more so. As someone who never had a great metabolism, isn't it great seeing everybody else is crying to a halt? Catch up. It is sweet seeing people who are just like, oh, I don't know, I'm just lucky, I guess. In their early 20s. I can't eat anything.

And in their late 20s, they're like, I don't know what's happening. It's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah. Yeah. So it's basically your fat storage. Over the course, this was done over 13 years. And yeah, I found out that their fat cells, the rate at which fat

from their fat cells was removed, slows down. So what you're saying is it's okay just to go crazy and eat whatever? Because it's just

going to happen anyway? No, I was kind of saying the opposite. Oh, right. You've got to try harder. As you get older, you've got to try harder. I mean, I think we know that,

but the science has officially stated it, that you need to adjust your diet. It's backing it up. Yeah. Or just be like, well, I'm getting older, so I don't care as much. Does it say an age where it's,

because isn't it 25, your metabolism's like, or 22, where your metabolism... Well, it says middle-aged. Right. What's middle-aged now? That's the second slowing. Is it? There's a second slowing? Yes, that's the second a bit different for everybody. Well, it says middle-aged. Right. What's middle-aged now? That's the second slowing. Is it? That's the second slowing?

Yes, that's the second slowing. Oh, God. When's the second slowing? Middle-age. What's middle-age? Late 40s. 50. Okay.

You get the second slowing. That's when you join a squash club, isn't it? No, no, no. You should have joined a squash club before then. You'll have a heart attack on your lunch break if you join. If you jump in the deep end at 50, don't start with squash. Well, that's how I want to go with those squash glasses. Just on a crumpled heap on a squash court.

Some short shorts that ride up and expose it all when you're crumpled on the floor, clutching at your chest, screaming, tell my children I love them. Oh, Christ, put your balls away, Roger. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast, ZM. Oh Christ, put your balls away Roger The KCP machine has been an overdrive There's a couple of stories that I want to tell you about The first is a dating simulator So it is called I Love You Colonel Sanders And they describe it as a finger licking good dating simulator

They should not have. So it's kind of a game. You play a culinary student who is trying to win the heart of your classmate and your classmate is like a hipster cool young Colonel Sanders. Who is downloading

and using this? I will be. We're both like I'll play it. Yeah. I can't wait to play it. I will be. Really? We're both like, I'll play it. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like, I guess it's like

any of those games except it involves KFC and then at the end of it you're like, damn, I want some Wicked Wings. Have you been addicted to or played any games

since the Kim Kardashian? Because you were really addicted to that. Nah, I haven't. Oh, apart from like Pokemon Go. Oh,

that's right. Yeah. Yeah. But I just don't get involved now. Because you know you've got an addictive personality. Yeah. But I didn't spend money on Pokemon Go. I spent money on the Kim K game, which that's so embarrassing. Is it still going?

I think so. I'd say so. If it's making any money, should you just leave it ticking along? Yeah. Once you have like found the person you want to be with forever, there's a second KFC story that I want to tell you about. And this is in Australia. You can have a KFC themed wedding.

So it's available until May next year. Yeah. So you've only got a limited time and it is exclusive to Australia's KFCs. Right. But they're going to select a number of applicants by the 23rd of October. So you have to apply to get a KFC wedding.

Now included will be a KFC themed wedding celebrant, KFC themed photo booth. So yeah, you can, I don't know what that means. It's like a KFC frame around it. Must be. KFC themed music and entertainment. Yeah.

And Kentucky Fried Chicken. Like, it'll be a food truck with KFC buckets and everything. And anytime that anyone looks at your wedding photos, they'll automatically smell KFC. I don't know what KFC themed music is. What's KFC themed music? You don't know. KFC themed music is. What's KFC themed music? Yeah, I don't know. Like southern music?

Just songs about chickens? Has KFC ever had a theme song? I don't, nothing springs to mind. Yeah, no. And like, you can't play that over and over. Do they give you unlimited refresher wipes? Are they still do those? I would hope so.

I don't know the situation on the wipes. Oh, here's a KFC theme song. Oh, by the way, we're flying into this blind. Is there a pre-release? Was it official?

I don't know. I'll just have a little, I'll have a little taste of it. Have a little pre-listen. Oh, you know, I'm really glad we didn't do that.

Oh, okay. Wow. But wouldn't be the first time Vaughn's gone rogue on the YouTube? On the aux cord? No. Without listening to something first?

Yeah. I'm glad you've learned. I'm glad you're learning. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There's been a study done, re-crazy cat ladies. So, you know, it's a thing, isn't it? You call someone a crazy cat lady. Yeah. And that's got a bad connot thing, isn't it? You call someone a crazy cat lady.

Yeah. And that's got a bad connotation, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. I prefer crazy cat people because that's you. That's what you are. You're not a lady, but you're a crazy cat man. Right, so it could be anyone. Well, a California-based study has proved that cat owners are not more likely to be alone

and that crazy cat lady criticism mostly stems from misogyny. And that being crazy cat lady is actually now cool because of celebrities like Katy Perry, Taylor Swift and Lena Dunham. Right. Because they've got cats. Katy Perry. Because they've got cats. Although she's also got a dog.

I don't think she's got a cat. So you can't call her a crazy. No. They're also wildly rich a dog. I don't think she's got a cat. So you can't call her a crazy... No. They're also wildly rich and successful. Yeah. Right. Well, researchers at UCLA analysed more than 500 pet owners.

They found that, yes, those that have pets are more sensitive when it comes to responding to low mood or distress in animals, but there's no evidence that dog owners are any more popular than cat owners.

I disagree. But then technically your dog is the size of a cat and is pointless. Yeah, but so much cooler. Did you just call my dog pointless? He does so much more than cats do. He can like sit, roll over, speak. Can you make a cat speak? But he doesn't catch like rats and stuff, which is like the main point of a cat.

Well, that's how I look at cats, mobile rat traps. Well, he's never had a rat in front of him to give him a shot. It would literally be at the same height as him and he'd be like, sorry. He chases the cat next to his cat. You should hear him. It's like a wild tiger. Also, side note in this. Oh no, he'd be like a...

Side note, Elizabeth Moss from Handmaid's Tale dressed up a ginger kitten like a handmaid. Oh, was that pretty cute? Is that enough to make you forget she's a Scientologist? Cute. It's so hard to watch that show and then, like, think, oh, you're also part of a weird cult. Yeah.

In real life. Yeah. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Today's Top Six is dealing with a new game coming out from Hasbro. It's official. It's called Ms. Monopoly. It doesn't follow the adventures of Uncle Rich Moneybags.

This is his niece. Yeah. And she invests in startups. Okay. Feminist, female startups. Okay. Okay. It celebrates female inventions.

You move around the board. Yeah. Purchasing different female inventions. It doesn't have a full list of what there is, but I've got a few of them. Wi-Fi. Yeah. Invented by females.

Solar heating and chocolate chip cookies. Yum. I don't know if females invented chocolate chip cookies. And when you go around the board, men get less money when they pass go. Correct, yes. Women start with more money, and every round they get $240 versus

the male players $200. I don't know what the starting difference is. Does it say why it's not equal? Because that's just going to cause more arguments I feel like. Also, what happens if you play this with your significant other and the man wins?

In air. In air. They don't say why. They just wanted to recognise and celebrate the contributions women have made to our society and continue it on a daily basis. Like, what if Mr Toyboy won and you were playing Miss Monopoly?

I would say good work. But if he said anything about the fact that he won and I still got more at $240 more. Yeah. Like you can't even play normal Monopoly without fights. I know. That's why I'm like you need to make that equal because that's just gonna be like, that's just gonna be a talking point

isn't it? So why aren't you saying anything? Well because I'm gonna be in enough trouble after I do the six. I don't need to add fuel to the fire before I've even lit it. Okay. So the top six features are on the new Ms. Monopoly. Okay. Number six, chance cards.

They're different. For example, you don't come second in a beauty contest anymore. Instead, you come second in a science contest. That's cool. I like that. But all your friends say you should totally have come first That other contestant has a rich dad Probably bored her the first place

You're way smarter and prettier Bitch, I've heard you say that in real life It's not a girl thing I've literally heard you say pretty much that whole sentence about someone Yeah, 100% I'm a feminist, man I told you this I'm an ally I'm an ally You can. I'm an ally.

You can be a bitch whether you're a male or female. Number five on the list of the top six features of the new Ms. Monopoly are playing pieces that represent powerful feminist icons. Okay. The Venus symbol. You know the circle with the plus at the bottom? Yep. An equal sign for equality.

Freyda Carlo, the artist. A fish on a bicycle because apparently a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. The worm symbol. Okay. Why? What? The worm symbol. Worm.

Oh, I was like, I'm worms. That's on you. Both males and females can get worms. Please wash your hands. The worm symbol, a unicorn and boobs. Something for everybody there. Okay, great. The guys will be like, oh, boobs are spies.

I have to. Number four on the list of the top six features of the new Ms. Monopoly is a new square on the board. It's called the Cone of Silence where you can get together with the girls on the board that you like and bitch about the ones

that you don't who's really doing really great with their inventions and getting a lot of investments but secretly, you know it's her parents' money. And then you come out and the next square

is the Oh Hi Babe square where you can see the one Oh my God, Hi Babe. you can see the one room. Oh, my God, hi, babe. You were just bitching about. My God, you're doing so well. You deserve that. Megan, any comment?

Again, I've heard Vaughn talk like that. I told you I'm an ally. Number three on the list of the top six features of the new Ms. Monopoly. Go to jail isn't go to jail anymore. It's go to an all-male school, lads, lads, lads, catch up at the pub. Oh, Christ. Yeah.

That sounds like a nightmare. Get there. Someone does the bloody grammar handshake. Oh, what have you guys been up to? Oh, not much, mate. Property's been a bit quiet, but you know, I've diversified my portfolios. Dad's been a real help, eh? Valuable expertise.

Translation, dad's been bailing him out for quite some time. He's been in prison. Quite some time now, yeah. I'll go to prison, will you? You still get fed three times a day? Yeah. Number two on the list of the top six features of the new Ms. Monopoly, free parking.

It's parallel parking. Excuse me. I parallel parked a truck. Megan, I did not say anything else than it's parallel parking. You know. You didn't let me finish.

You know. You didn't let me finish. I was going to say because females are very good at parallel parking. Their spatial awareness is great.

You didn't let me finish. I feel like that's sarcastic. I feel like I'm being... No, that was sarcastic. And you left a pregnant pause, especially for me to fall into. He started laughing. That was entrapment. It wasn't.

Also, I'm really good at parallel parking. You are great at parallel parking. Thank you. My wife's also very good at parallel parking. Mum won't touch it. Let your father do that. She's old school. Number one on the list

of the top six features of the new feminist monopoly are when it's finished, somebody wins. But, we all win because when a female wins, all females win.

And then the person that wins has to leave so you can absolutely slate her. Those are the rules. That's today's top six. There is a new way to flaunt your wealth on Instagram. Okay. Do you remember all those rich kids of Instagram?

Are they still a thing, those Instagram accounts? I never followed any of them, but that was more someone else was posting their photos. That was more just a big red flag for, like, the IRS and tax services to investigate their parents more than anything, wasn't it? Probably. Well, there is a, hey, wow, you're so cool and rich. Show us more of how rich your family is.

Oh, yeah. Okay, well, okay. So on the 17th of January, you said that was a business trip in the Provo Jeep, but your children were boarding it. Your thoughts? Yeah. Shazam.

There is a new Instagram account where you can pay money, a lot of money, for a shout out. Oh, my God. It's called Golden Price Tag. It's the website and Instagram. And if you would like to feature on

the Instagram account, Golden Price Tag, you need to pay anywhere from $1,000 or more. One user, according to the site, has paid three, well, it says how much you pay. It'll say how much you pay. So if you pay

$10,000, it would be, you would look more bougie. You give them a picture of yourself and you pay them and then they will upload it showing how much... What's this called? Golden Price Tag. Golden Price Tag.

Is that all it is? One word? Golden Price Tag, yeah. Because I've looked, I can't find it. It says the page isn't available. At golden underscore price tag. Golden underscore price tag.

My apologies, Vaughan Smith. It's not accepted, but I will move on. It's right here. Golden underscore price tag. No, I'm saying your apology is not accepted. Oh, right. You said the URL was not accepted. There's only five so far.

Yeah, well, it's only just started. That's so... Leonard Weinstock spent $1,000. Have you, like, the saying, money talks, wealth whispers. It's like, that's, like, people have got a little bit of money and just, like, really need everyone to know. Yeah. Well, it's a status thing, isn't it?

Yeah. It's just... But people have already signed up to do this. And yeah, it's... It's only got 4,000 followers. Well, yeah, it's new, isn't it? But then why would you pay if it's only got... But isn't everyone just going to, like, absolutely cringe's only got 4,000 followers well yeah it's new isn't it but then why would you pay

if it's only got 4,000 followers everyone just gonna like absolutely cringe and just be like well of course they will

I mean we're cringing and yeah but I mean people obviously want to flaunt their wealth and yeah I mean it's stupid

don't get me wrong I'm not defending it just saying this is where we're at at the moment humanity in terms of humanity that he's holding champagne and he's stupid, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending it. Good Lord. Just saying, this is where we're at at the moment. Humanity. In terms of humanity. No, this guy's saying that he's holding champagne

and he's paid to be on there. However, paying was still less expensive than the champagne that day. And his username is TheVictoriousBIG. Oh, dear. Yeah. Dude. That's horrible.

Yeah. Dude, dude, dude, dude. This is not going to fly In New Zealand obviously All these are all Americans No You'd be brought down Those were Germans

And Russians actually The ones I was looking at Really There was no Americans In the mix And yeah Never say never Because you know

I'm sure there'll be some Yeah Kiwis that find that Like Yeah Rewarding For the soul I don't know They should try like Planting a tree Or helping someone Less fortunate that find that, like, yeah. Rewarding for the soul?

I don't know. They should try, like, planting a tree or helping someone less fortunate. Have they tried one of those? I don't know. One of those might be right. You can still Instagram that as well. Yeah, you can actually. Yeah, yeah.

Talk about your charity. Ho, ho, ho. Ooh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Ho, ho, ho. Hi, Santa. So, it's... New intro for the Trainspotters. New intro.

103 days, 16 hours, 44 minutes until Christmas. So, we're just over a little over three months away. And if you get paid fortnightly, I just worked this out, from our pays, you've got six or seven pays. We have six pays till Christmas. What? To get paid weekly, just double that?

Yeah. Oh my God, that's scally. So fortnightly, which most people are, right? I don't know. I don't know. It's a weird one.

Because we used to get paid monthly. Monthly, but then he used to be able to get paid monthly and he used to be able to do that bi-monthly. Isn't that two weeks? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Into both pays. Just wherever the mood takes you. And then there's pan-monthly which is where it's not about the month. It's about the day. As long as you're getting it, you don't care. As long as there is money coming in.

So how many weeks would that be? Well, I saw a thing saying it was 17 Mondays till Christmas. Good lord. Oh yeah, 10. Yeah, wow, okay. It's about time I start my Christmas shopping. And at the end of October is when I put my Christmas tree out. I've only got like six weeks. Five weeks.

There are a lot of reports of Christmas creeping in around the place. It's not even creeping anymore. It's just walking in and being like, hey. Like, and you're looking at it, you're like, what are you doing here? Didn't tell me you were coming over. Oh, didn't I? I'm here now.

Will has got in touch. This is an international spotting of Christmas. There is a Christmassy display at Yankee Candle in Kent in England. It's a considerable one. They've still got their Halloween display up, but as you can see here, quite a sizable Christmas candle display. Oh, wow.

One, two, three, four shelves, and then from the last shelf to the floor in full. What are you looking at? Well, I received an Instagram message from Berkey, who's in Dubai. He noticed they've got reduced to clear candy canes. Candy canes. So I don't know if they're last year's.

Oh, they'll definitely be last year's. Yeah, they're trying to get rid of those. They're trying to get rid of those. But again, creeping in from our international listeners there. While we're in the UK at the London Monument Tesco, an entire end of an aisle has been dedicated to Christmas choccies. That's from Kirsty. She's over there.

She said, yeah, the whole end of the aisle. So it's not just like a tiny little bit. It's that whole end of the aisle display. Which I've heard you have to pay. Don't you have to pay? Is that a hot property, the end of the aisle? I think it's a hot property, the end of the aisle. Yeah, it's a promotional area.

Is it? Yeah. I'm always like trying to corner my trolley, so I'm not really too fussed, the end of the aisle. Yeah, it's a promotional area. Is it? Yeah. I'm always like trying to corner my trolley, so I'm not really too fussed on the end of the aisle. I like to do my D1NZ round there. I like to get just a quick tap on the brakes, get it sideways and then power it. I even make the sounds.

I reckon near the checkouts, those end of aisles will be, they've always got a good special on them. If there's a few people there, you've got to linger. Chippies and stuff, yeah. You've got to linger. Emma's been in touch. More of an at-home Christmas penetration. Her kids have already started writing letters to Santa.

You've got to get in early. Yeah. Dear Santa, please, can I please, double on the please there. That's good. That's good. Please, can I please. Please, can I please have a Lego set and a something skateboard. Sweet.

A cool dude skateboard. And a something skateboard. Oh, you don't want to get the wrong sort of skateboard. A dirt skateboard? Do they do a dirt skateboard? One of the big wheels? Well, maybe. Dirt skateboard.

I need to look into that. I like to be up to date with all the cool things. Of course you do. All the skateboardings. Somebody, Megan, is at the moment in LA. She's been at Universal Studios. She's seen a whole video, but this is just a screen cap of it. Universal Studios preparing their Christmas village.

Ooh, okay. Unbelievable. Yeah, so there's your nutcracker, your giant candy canes, your Christmas trees and a snowman there behind a tree. Have we had reports of any malls putting up Christmas trees yet? Because that's kind of, I feel they do that on the 1st of October. That's always a really big marker when the Christmas trees. Somebody just wants us to know that they've been,

Earl said he's been sent to save the date for the Christmas dinner. Oh, the work Christmas dinner? Thursday the 5th of December this year. It's going to be at Paymasters Restaurant, 18 Bond Street, Newcastle, Australia. Well, don't give away their work Christmas function. Well, no one's going to. Okay, if you turn up and manage to assimilate with their work place

and get a free meal, then well done. Well done more than anything. Another spotting. It looks like England's really getting on board. They said, Andy said, pop down to the garden centre and Preston, England, and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. They've got a little bit of a board there

shielding off too much of a Christmas decoration. They've obviously got an unveiling planned for, but Christmas cards are plenty. Oh, my God. At the garden centre. Do garden centres here sell cards, greeting cards? Yeah, they do. Do they?

No, they've always got a cafe. Yeah, they sell greeting cards. Once I was at a garden centre cafe and the scrambled eggs came out and they said, sorry, we're out of parsley. I was like, mate, we're at a garden centre. Just go pick some. Go on, grab one. Don't put parsley on scrambled eggs. Oh, and I love're out of parsley. I was like, mate, we're at a garden centre. Just go pick some. Go on, grab one.

Don't put parsley on scrambled eggs. Oh, and I love a bit of parsley. Yum. I like the Italian parsley is the flat one. And then the curly one, big fan of that too. And I'll eat it. I get told it's just a garnish for them. I say, it's delicious.

Love a bit of parsley. And finally, a tarapa countdown. A few reports of this. This is Tarapa countdown in Hamilton. A whole display of Christmas choccies as well as our first spotting of baubles. This is the first report of Christmas baubles. We've got tinsel. We've got all the shebang bang there that you can expect to see in a Christmas decoration display.

And it's only the 12th of September. I know. 103 days away. Is that what you said before? Well, with all that in mind... Oh, we're getting warmer. Right now, Christmas penetration is at... 28%.

Oh, it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I sure hope this pre-recorded laughing isn't after something inappropriate to laugh at, but I just want to take a moment to say thanks to Spark for sponsoring the Fletch, Fawn and Megan podcast. You can grab Spark's $29 prepaid rollover packs and get stacks of extra value. Back to the podcast. Apparently New Zealand is one of the countries leading the charge for veganism, which is good. Plant-based diet is more sustainable than eating meat. But a study was done in the UK and it asked people about being vegan.

And there's concerning results coming out of this. It turns out that one in five adults believe that goat's milk is vegan. Even though the clue's in the name. No, but it is because the goat's only eating grass. It's an animal product. Churns up in the animal, comes out of the animal, not allowed to eat it if you're a vegan.

So what, did they do a test and ask all these people if products... It was just a big survey. Right. And 2,000 adults. So you're one of five. Was it like, is goat's milk vegan? And 20% of people were like Yes Don't know

What the actual question was Yeah Maybe Because otherwise Yeah What were the other options? No Yes

Yes or no Yes or no So 20% of people Are pretty stupid Yeah Because it's in the name Was this vegans they were asking

Or the general public? Oh I don't know Because. Was this vegans they were asking or the general public? Oh, I don't know. Because you'd be concerned if they were asking the general public. Surely vegans are far more knowledgeable. Yeah. So it is, there was other questions. A lot of people thought that tofu was a type of mushroom.

And soybean, isn't it? It's soybean curd. How do they make it? Do they mule it? I think there's a blender. Mule it up the soybean. I actually don't know. I don't know.

It would separate, right? It would separate. You can't just blend up the soybean, right? It's processed soybean curd. It's made from soybeans that are ground in water, heated and coagulated with minerals like calcium or magnesium and salt. The curds are then pressed into a block, which is then sold as tofu. And what happens to the other stuff?

Do we know? Is there a use for that? They chuck it on the floor. I don't know. I don't know. There's just a country that's a foot deep in tofu. Just juice. Juice, yeah.

Yeah. Also 20%, so one in five as well, of 18 to 34-year-olds thought that eggs were vegan. You can have eggs. You can get vegan eggs though, can't you? Can't you get like an egg substitute? Maybe, maybe. Oh yeah, maybe. Ticks the box.

Like a runny. See that's the thing I could be a vegetarian if you know push came to shove but I couldn't say no to eggs and cheese. Eggs and cheese. Just yum. And that you can get like dairy free cheese but it's just not the same. It's just not the same. It's not Cam and Bert

is it? Nah. Piscatarians eat fishay. Where do they draw the line on that? What do Pescatarians eat fish, eh? Yeah. Where do they draw the line on that? What do you mean? They eat something that can swim. Yeah, I don't know. You have to ask a pescatarian. And does that include

shellfish? And whales? Ooh. I don't know. I was just wondering where you draw the line on things in the sea they don't eat cephalopods like squids and octopus

I don't think why what's the difference between that and fish I don't even like eating an octopus I watched a documentary about how clever they are

would you do a power fritter shit yeah I wasn't a monster wouldn't I do a white bait fritter or do a power fritter do a muscle fritter pineapple fritter

do you like those I love a pineapple fritter sometimes even when do a whitebait fritter, do a power fritter, do a muscle fritter? Pineapple fritter. Do you like those? I love a pineapple fritter. Sometimes even when we're doing fish and chips, I chuck a potato fritter in. Even though it's just a flat chip. It's just a slice of potato battered. Flat. Yeah, that's nice.

Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Lizzo Truth Hurts on ZM. Yesterday she engaged on Twitter with Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster started it saying, me just took a DNA test. Turns out me 100% cookies.

Yes. Good stuff. She loved that. Yeah, and then lots of people started talking about even when me crumble crazy, me got short bed problems, that's the monster in me. And that song Lizzo songs

Hit such mainstream My daughter's like This group called Kids Bop And it's like These kids do like Versions of popular songs And they said

Do you reckon They'll do Lizzo I'm like Absolutely no way Could they do There's too many references And swear words Anyway there's a version now

DNA test Turns out I'm 100% your friend Oh they do. There's too many references and swear words. Anyway, there's a version now. Oh, is there? DNA test. Turns out I'm 100% your friend. Oh. And then, because my kids love Lizzo in her completely uncensored form. Yeah.

And they were like, bitch was better. You're right, kids. It was. We're going to listen to this version because you just said bitch was better.

Yeah. Go to your right and even bat an eyelid. So that's a problem. An Alaskan high school swimmer has got a twist. There's been three hours ago, there's been an update. Okay. But I'll tell you what happened. An Alaskan high school swimmer was disqualified at a swim meet because she was exposing too much of her buttocks.

She got a wee G. Yeah, she was wearing a swimsuit and it was a standard swimsuit. It wasn't one of those ones now that's made to be a G-string bikini. It would be your standard Speedo. I just loved hearing you explain that. Why? Because I get you in trouble in Bali? Yeah, because I was like... Did you get in trouble

in Bali? Did you? Oh, that Brazilian, yeah, that was a situation. But they, we were there first, luckily, and they sat there, so there was a sort of a deniability to it. But, yeah, you just feel like. But.

But. Vaughn. Yeah. There's a but, all of the but. So it wasn't one of those. It was a sort of togs you wear to swim. Yeah. Yeah, but you're like kicking seriously.

Yeah. Hungry but. Yeah. So there was a hungry but, and the togs were, they rode up and apparently was disqualified due to a swimsuit exposing too much of the buttocks. A decency ruling. You'd think this would happen a bit, wouldn't you? The riding up?

Oh yeah, I thought you meant the disqualification. That's ridiculous. I've never been a good swimmer, but to hear from swimmers, surely that happens. Guys in Speedos as well. At the worst, a malfunction. But it's not her fault. No. Absolutely not.

What's the update? Well, the update is it's been reversed. Oh, gosh. Because they were wearing it because there was a lot of outrage. Well, it was the Anchorage School District. It governed it and it's been deemed heavy-handed and totally unnecessary and it's agreed to overrule the decision. Right.

But, yeah, somebody, one of the other swim coaches or a parent or something made the complaint. Ugh. And so this 17-year-old was disqualified. We're all rolling our eyes. We need an audible sound for our eye rolls. And a butt's a butt. We've all got them.

We do all have butts. All different shapes and sizes are butts. There's no one that's had a butt cheek removal's trying to think of people who don't have butts. Like a butt cheek removal? Because of an accident or something? They might have had like a... Yeah, no, there is. Okay, so maybe we don't all have butts.

Yeah, maybe we don't all have butts. Sorry, we need to be inclusive. Yeah, be inclusive, please. But then the shape of the butt doesn't matter. It's still a butt. It's still a butt. Okay, yeah, true, true. It's where the bend in the body is at the butt.

It's where you poop at. Yeah. And I understand not all butts poop either because some people might have had illnesses or diseases that require another form of it. But we've all got a butt

of some form. Yeah. There we go. They're all wonderful. They are. So we want to know Why are you just trying to get yourself

in trouble again? This morning this is barley all over again. No because I was saying about the other one I wasn't like specifically mentioning Brazilian.

Latino butts. Yeah, okay. Which on a whole. Anyway. Excuse me. Why are Latino butts better than like everyone else's butt? No, I'm just saying on a whole,

they're very presentable. Stop trying. Stop getting yourself in trouble again. No, I'm not. I'm being accepting. What makes them presentable? Can you get on top of it, please? Get on top of what?

Top of what? Oh, I thought you said get on top of it. I was like, whoa. No comment, Your Honour. We'd like to know this morning when everybody saw your butt. Yeah, when did you accidentally flash? Yeah. Because much like the swimmer, it was a complete accident.

And, you know, all of this unfolded because they had a wardrobe malfunction. We had the ball rolling. At the intermediate cross country, we had to cross him. Of course you've got a story. At the intermediate cross country, we had to cross a muddy creek. And everybody was kind of like getting to it and then jumping over the creek. Wait, so your high school made you do a Tough Mudder?

Intermediate. No, it was just one Tough Mudder crossing. Right. Just a small aperitif of what a Tough Mudder would be like. But everybody was running to it, stop, and then they'd jump over it or they'd time their jumps and jump over it. I was like, I'm going to jump in. And I jumped in and it was, I can see why,

immediately why I was straight up to the waist in mud. And when I crawled out, my pants would have come down and everybody saw my butt. Now, thankfully, due to the mud, the genitals were covered. Okay. Great. So it took down your undies as well?

It took down the undies and the pants. It was an aggressive mud pit. And the people behind me and monitoring it, because they always had teachers monitoring it, the area swore my butt. Quite a few people swore my butt. And that's, yeah. That's the story.

The teacher laughed. I was okay with it. I was like, whoa, that's why everybody's not doing that. And then I washed off in a farmer's trough. Great. All right, well, 0800-966. When did everybody see your butt? We want to know when someone's accidentally seen your butt.

A swimmer in Alaska has been disqualified. That's since been overturned after some worldwide outrage after a wardrobe malfunction. But this happens to a lot of people. We want to know when a lot of people saw your butt. Someone said a word of advice. Don't wear floaty skirts. What are they?

Just like ones that can blow up in the wind. Right, gotcha. On lime scooters. Oh, yeah. I would have thought that would have been pretty obvious, but maybe not for everybody. It's fluttering down the road. Somebody else said, we were doing dives at swim training

and everyone started laughing. And I said, can you go tell me what's so funny? What's happened? And they said, yeah, you've got to do one more dive. And it turned out my togs had just split right up the back and my whole butt was hanging out. Oh, and no one told you. That's mean.

I got caught in a washing machine wave at Piha, sent into a rip, was desperately trying, you know, to just survive there. The lifeguard came and got me, a bit of a rigmarole, caused everyone on the beach to watch and they got me and they pulled me up across the IRB and dragged off the

pants on. I mean they saved your life but Is your life worth that? You know how they come in when they're like and then they do that too. They get to this thing and just butt. Everybody sees your butt.

Everyone sees your butt. They could have turned the other way in, but they prefer a left-hand turn, so everybody saw the butt. Danielle, when did everybody see your butt? Well, I was running late for a real estate appointment and I just so happened to be wearing a mini skirt and a G-string. Okay, yeah. And I just got out of the car and didn't realise my skirt was tucked into the top of my G-string

and ran into the office. Oh, no. And I was there for about five minutes standing at the printer until someone come and told me that my whole ass was out. Oh, my God. That's my worst nightmare. Was it summer? Because surely you would have noticed temperature difference

when you got out of the car. Well, that's the thing. I really didn't notice anything. It was summer. I didn't notice anything or temperature difference. No, but if you're wearing a skirt, it's breezy anyway. Yeah, exactly. There's no difference.

Question, Vaughan. How long would you tell Megan if that was Megan? I would make sure that there was adequate video and photo footage. And then we'd tell you. Danielle, thanks for your call. Jordan, when did everyone see you butt? Well, I

was in a play in high school and we were doing a dress rehearsal. And we had all of the primary schools from around town come and during the show there was a bed off the stage and I ran backwards up to it, landed on my back and my friend grabbed my legs and threw me over. But on this particular day he decided to grab my jeans instead of my ankles and I essentially showed my butt to the entire primary and fingies of the town I lived in. Oh, Jordan. Wow.

Jordan. What was the audience reaction like? Well, because they were under five, there was a lot of laughing, so that was all good. I mean,

butts are an ageless pleaser. Everybody loves laughing when they see a butt. Yeah, this is true. Wow. I snuck back into the classroom and I'm like hiding

behind my file pretending to do homework and one of the teachers walks in and goes, oh my God, who saw Jordan's's brown eye that was the worst part the teacher wow hannah when did everyone see your butt hey i was in peru a few months ago and was on an overnight bus yeah um so i was like i'm in a bathroom pulled down my pants went to go sit down um as we did that like the roads in peru aren't great to say the least yeah to a bathroom, pulled down my pants, went to go sit down.

As we did that, the roads in Peru aren't great, to say the least. Yeah. So we went over a bump, went flying into the door. The door handle, all you required was a push down on the handle to unlock it. Yeah. So push down on the handle, just went flying into the aisle of the bus because it was like at the back and the middle of the bus. And your pants are down. Oh, bus. And your pants are down. Oh God.

And my pants are down. I didn't know, I couldn't move because I was just trying to cover everything. Oh my God, Hannah. Was that universally funny for everybody else on the bus?

Everyone said I handled it really well but I was traumatised. I was travelling with these people for like a week or so and it was four. Good.

Yeah, wow. Brilliant. Hannah, thanks for your call. Some text messages. I was wakeboarding on a boom. That's where the bar comes out the side. Crapped it but didn't let go straight away. Bounced on the top of the water.

My pants were down around my ankles but they couldn't get past the board and everyone was like, just let go, just let go. And everybody that was on the side of the lake saw my butt. Coming home from a big night on a bus and needed a wee, jumped off at a stop, found a suitable bush, backed into it, started weeing and started hearing car horns. I thought, that's unusual.

Only when I got back on the bus, I noticed the bush was on an incline and the cars coming down the motorway with their lights on and had a pretty good view of the bus. Wow. And I used to be an in-flight service manager. Oh, okay. I stood at the front of the plane, picked up the little telephone, started doing the welcome announcements,

didn't realise the cord from the microphone had hooked up my skirt and the whole aisle of the aeroplane could see my front butt. Front butt. The front butt was on full display there. That's a heck of a situation to find yourself in. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. Yesterday after the show, some of us went to see Jojo Rabbit, the new Taika Waititi movie,

which has just had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. Taika Waititi winning a director award. Yeah. Really? Now, I don't think the movie comes out here for about six weeks. I think it's six weeks away. It's October something. From memory.

October something. It's a while away. Yeah. Although October is next month. Good Lord. Yeah. Yeah. Although October is next month. Good Lord. Yes. So we had a special preview screening, myself, Fletch and Anya. I brought along my tamari almonds and I was mocked for having tamari almonds,

which are better than the natural almond because they have a nice flavour to them. Oh my God. You're not the first person to discover tamari almonds, okay? And I thought when you said you had tamari almonds, you were getting them from the bulk, like, pick and mix. But he had macro-organic tamari almonds in a packet. What, a macro-organic tamari almonds? Throughout the freaking movie, you, like...

And then you had a banana. That was disrespectful. And you left the skin right next to me. Oh, that was somebody else's cinema. Did you really take a banana in there? I put it in the bin afterwards. It was fine. Did you wipe your hands on the seat like you do at work?

Yes, he did. Oh, God. I did not. I've just Googled macro organic tamari almonds. Macro's the brand, yeah? Yeah, macro. Yeah, they're delicious. Yeah.

Better than normal because I can't eat a lot of normal almonds because they're yuck. But the tamari is just this flavour. I don't know what it is, but they're amazing. Anyway, great movie snack. But that wasn't the... The fact aside, the movie was incredible. It was so hilarious, and it was so

moving. Yeah. It's the best movie I've seen in a while. I don't think it's overselling it to say that. I'm going to say movie of the year. Yeah. I know the best movie I've seen in a while. I don't think it's overselling it to say that. I'm gonna say movie of the year. Yeah. I know Vaughn's like Avengers but I just love this movie so much. Like a great story of love over hate. Yeah. Because it is

it does feature Taika Waititi as Hitler. Yes. Imaginary friend Adolf Hitler though. Yeah imaginary friend and it's just so funny. Yeah. And so I know that critics have been divided early reviews. A lot of people, especially in America. You've got to remember Hitler killed

6 million people. He's quite a hard sell. I don't think that's not overlooked in the film. He still represents hate. Very much so. Yeah, right. And it is about love over hate. And it is an incredible movie. I think it's going to be huge. You're definitely going to want to see this movie.

But that wasn't the interesting thing. We were watching it, this little preview, with censors. You know how they censor movies? They give it a rating. Was the chief censor there?

I don't know who the chief censor is. You always say it on the news. There were two lovely ladies. Is it a guy? Yeah. Oh, no. Two lovely ladies. No, maybe it's a woman now.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm imagining there's a lot of people, because you think they have to watch every movie and TV show and video game that comes out in New Zealand. So they were watching it, and then I guess they went away to the office, and they're like, what, should we give it? And then they decide. So they were sitting there with laptops and little lamps behind us

watching the same movie. Yeah, and I was like, because I heard them laugh, I was like, oh my God, they must like it. I wonder if they'll give it a whatever, an M or a... They might like it, but they'd still have to, that'd have to be... Well, they'd be very professional. Yeah, they couldn't just be like, oh, I found it funny, so I'm just going to make it okay okay but there was a bit in the movie

where they where penis was mentioned I can't hear and then Megan it was just like this it was like because they had like a little I don't know if it was an iPad

with a keyboard or a laptop and you just hear the little typing throughout the movie you'd be like oh I wonder what they were writing oh

just notes for later and stuff there was things that like, you didn't even like, I couldn't recognise anything that had happened on the screen, but then suddenly you just hear, you're like, oh, they didn't like that.

Do you know if they... No, it's not that they wouldn't have liked it, it's just that they would have made a note about it. But I just found it fascinating because you just forget that when you watch all these TV shows and movies, that they have to watch every single thing. Like, you know when you start

a Netflix show and you get 20 minutes in, you're like this is awful. For various reasons, they would have to watch everything. And pay attention, because when it's awful, you just want to fall asleep. Then if you fall asleep watching something, do they have to go start again? And then you get home, you make dinner,

and then you're on the couch with your husband or wife and they're like, what should we watch? And you're like, I don't want to watch anything. Do streaming services have to adhere to that yet? I don't know. Or is it just traditional broadcast, movie, video games? It's a good question. DVD release.

But then it's streamed on our screens, isn't it? It's no different than a movie. Yeah, surely it would still have to adhere to that. Surely. Do you know, did the different senses, like, take care of different things? Like, was there, like, one person who was looking after nudity and violence, but somebody else

was using drugs and swear words? I don't know. Because we said hello and stuff and goodbye at the end, but I had so many questions, but I was like, I didn't want to interfere or, like, be rude or anything. Right. But I was just so fascinated by it. I was like, because it would I don't know, just make watching movies so different, wouldn't it?

Because you wouldn't be watching a movie just purely for the enjoyment and the ride. You'd have to be, every time there was a scene with something, you'd be like, oh, we've got to take that into account. Yeah. Because there's that old saying, if you find something you love, you'll never work another day in your life. But it's more like, start doing something you love for work and you'll end up hating it. Because it's still work.

It's still work. And you have to do it. Because if you're watching a movie maybe you hadn't even censored it or had anything to do with the censorship. You'd still be thinking oh there's some swear words. God Steve's let that one slip through.

That should have been an M actually. Not a PGR. Steve. What was he doing? Probably eating those tamari almonds that he keeps going on about. Well, yeah, I didn't see that. I didn't think they had snacks. They didn't have snacks, no.

I didn't offer them any snacks, no. Because I didn't want to be seen to be influencing a movie's rating with tamari almonds. But you imagine if you're a censor, so you're watching. Imagine if I was dragged into a scandal. Yeah, because you sputtered up the. A favouritism scandal, because I gave them tamari almonds. Tamari almonds. But you imagine if you're watching six movies a day. Yeah, because you sputtered up the... A favouritism scandal, because I gave them Tamari almonds. Tamari almonds. But you imagine if you're watching six movies a day,

and every time you sit down for a movie, you have snacks. I know, I know. But how do you decide what movie is going to warrant snacks? You'd be like, this is a good one. It's a popcorn movie. You'd probably pack a little system with carrot sticks

and some celery and some hummus at the start of the day and once that's done, you're done. Well, yeah, exactly. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. This is kind of like

the Ross from Friends lookalike who got arrested. The David Schwimmer lookalike that got arrested. Oh, yeah. He went to prison, actually. Follow up on that, didn't he? Yeah, he did.

Got some jail time. Well, there's a new celebrity lookalike that's in trouble, a guy called Todd W. Barrick, who bears a striking resemblance to Walter White from Breaking Bad. This is good to you because, you know, like when they actually caught that Ross from Friends guy, he didn't look much like Ross from Friends. No, the close-up shot didn't look much like him.

No, but this guy. Yeah, he looks like Bryan Cranston. He's been arrested in relation to possession of methamphetamine. He looks like Bryan Cranston had there been like a season eight. 18. 18, yeah. The goatees a little bit longer. Shaved head and glasses on.

Yeah. Like if Bryan Cranston's character had started actually taking meth. Yeah. Yeah, rather than just making. Yeah. Rather than started actually taking meth. Yeah. Yeah, rather than just making. Yeah. Rather than just making the meth. So, I don't know. He's got to do a comparison.

I mean, it's a bit of a serious crime, isn't it? It's not like. It's not like. What are you doing about Bryan Cranston? Yeah. Right. It's not like the Ross and Friends was like a tray of beer. Yeah.

This is like actually. It's like the amphetamine position. Yeah. It is a month until the Breaking Bad movie comes out. On Netflix? Yeah, 11th of October. Yesterday was the 11th, so I decided that we... I wanted to re-watch all of Breaking Bad before this movie comes out.

Because when... Okay, right. But you've seen it. I've seen it, but my husband hasn't seen it. Mr. Toyboy. He has not seen... Because he would have been like five when that came out. It was 2008, so he was...

I don't want to work it out, actually. Was that when it started, 2008? He was 12. Was it? He was 12? Yeah. Okay. He was 12 when it came out.

So he was actually legally... We just talked about censorship. He was actually legally not allowed to watch it. Yeah. Yeah, so he's never seen it. So we watched the first episode last night, and I literally had this thought, because it's just such an iconic TV show that we talk about all the time.

We all loved it. But what if we're already married? What if we started watching it? And he's like, nah, I'm not down for that. This sucks. Would that be grounds for divorce? Amicable difference? What's that thing you write on your...

Reconcilable differences. Yeah. Or just didn't like Breaking Bad. So, I can't even remember the first episode. So, when I watched it, I was like, oh, it's quite serious. Like, you know, it gets more action-packed, but the first episode is quite serious. And he was like, this is a bit depressing. And I was like, oh, my God.

But at the end, you'll be happy to know, he was like, okay, definitely came for episode two. Oh, yeah. So, you're one... So know he was like, okay, definitely came for episode two. So I don't need a third husband just yet. So how many episodes do you need to watch before the movie comes out? So there's 62 in total. So 61 to go. In a month. So that's two, what, two a day? Two a day.

That's doable. But they're an hour long, right? Yeah, they are. Full hour episodes. Yeah. It's a lot to get through. I reckon we can do it. Not impossible, though.

Not impossible. You'd read Game of Thrones, didn't you? Before. Yeah, but we did a long time. We took our time on that one. There was no hurry. And that's more eps, too. That's a lot of effort to get through.

Yeah. Yeah. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that the U.S. Homeland Security isn't that secure. There was a study undertaken in 2011 by the Department of Homeland Security. They planted USB sticks and just like

they looked like they'd been dropped in the car parks of their employees as they wanted to see how often these employees would plug them into a work computer, no questions asked. Oh, okay.

Yeah, right. A rogue USB stick. Okay. So of 60% of the people that picked up the USBs, who saw them and picked them up, plugged them straight into their work when they got into their, plugged them straight in. Like when they got to work,

they sat down at their desk and they popped it straight into the computer. That's like, if you found a USB stick, would you just be like, oh, I need to know what's, it's like finding a box or a wrapped present. I know. You're like, you've got to know, you've got to find out what's on there. If we've learned anything from this,

it's don't do it on your own computer. Do it on the work computer. Do it on the work computer. That's what I was wondering if they did as well. You were going to play fast and loose. You play fast and loose with Homeland Security because you thought the IT would be up to scratch. Yeah.

So I was 60%. However, if the CD or USB stick had an official logo on it, 90% plugged into computers. But what was the logo that they used? It could be anything. They tried a whole bunch of different logos. If it was just a blank USB stick,

60% of them plugged it in. But if it was a USB stick with a logo on it, that could have been a Homeland Security logo. Another department. They'd plug it in, but if it was a USB stick with a logo on it, that could have been a Homeland Security logo. Another department. They'd plug it in, or something that they were familiar with, they'd plug it straight in. Wow.

Yeah. So, and they got the reports back, too, because it did have something on it. It did have a virus of sorts, I guess, because it made communication with the home base, the home computer, saying, yeah, I've been plugged in. This is who's plugged me in. Like whose profile I came in under.

Could imagine getting called into that office to be told you shouldn't have plugged in that USB. Like, whoopsie. What does the security stand for in our name? Security is just a safety idea. Interesting. Interesting thought. You plugged in a USB, you literally found

on the ground with no markings on it. Why'd they make this public? Because now, like, Russia will be dropping USBs in their car park. Well, because I've given everybody a rock up about it.

Oh, right. But this was 2011, so I hope they have like a yearly or maybe twice yearly reminder of when this happened to stop people

because they could get a little lax on it. Remember they did that to us here? Was it the start of the year they did a test in the email? Like a fake. A phishing one. A phishing fake email. Yeah. And a few people fell for that.

I didn't because I never replied to anything. You don't read your emails. It looked pretty legit though, eh? It did look legit. What did it say? It said click here and then you had to log in your details and then they were like, ha, it was a test. And I think 80% of people failed. To be honest,

I always read those emails and I'm like, oh, Fletcher will tell me tomorrow if that's something I need to do. Yeah, this definitely seems like somebody else. Unless it's like free chocolate, I'll be like, okay. Right, so that would be how to break into a company,

would it? Yeah. Free chocolate emails. Promise their employees, like, free chocolate. Okay, yeah, fair call. Trust me. So today's fact of the day

is 60% of USB sticks dropped in car parks of Homeland Security were plugged straight into a computer. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. When you're a kid, you become obsessed with certain things. Like I loved dolphins at a certain point in time.

Yeah. Excuse me. What's not to love about dolphins? Nothing here that's good. But I could just imagine you had like those little dolphin ceramic ornaments or something. I don't have them now. One of those ones with a weight in the bottom and it would look like it was leaping back in the 40s. Those were big in the 90s.

Super cool. Do you reckon they'll ever make like a little bit of a comeback? I don't think they ever went away, Vaughn. Oh, they've been here the whole time. Dolphins. Universally always loved. Those porcelain swans. They made a comeback.

They made a big comeback. Were they crowned? Did people put a plant in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. My nan never had a plant in hers. Oh, really? My nan had to. She didn't want to ruin it by putting a plant in it.

Yeah, I don't know. It just sat there. Right. Right. And candles was my other thing. But it's been revealed that Princess Charlotte, she has an obsession and it is an animal. Well, it's a mythical animal.

She's obsessed with unicorns. And then the media's gone around to, like, take note of every single time she's stepped out with a unicorn. So she's been spotted. Once she had a, actually on her first day of school, she had a sparkly unicorn key ring hanging off her school bag. In July, she was photographed carrying a sequin unicorn purse on her wrist. Wow.

Slow news day. She's obsessed with unicorns. But yeah, I would love to know what you were obsessed with as a child. Right. Maybe you had a big collection of something. Yeah. Not that I can remember. You?

Yeah Really caught up In the Ninja Turtles bars. Donatello. I liked Donatello too, but only because he had a purple mask. Donatello, don't scoff because Donatello I always found was the most modest one to say that you were. Because Leonardo, you were declaring yourself the leader. Yeah, right.

Michelangelo, you thought you were the party dude. And Raphael, you were like the tough guy. So I thought Donatello, he was the brains of the outfit. Yeah, right. But he was the most, you know, low key. I wanted to be Michelangelo

because he was the funniest. He was the party dude, yeah. So we want to take your calls. 0800 DARS at M9696. As a kid, what were you obsessed with? Maybe you collected a lot of things. You can text in 9696 as well.

What were you into as a kid? Maybe something you collected or you were absolutely obsessed with. Somebody's messaging about their son and I'm imagining this is the case. I know pretty much every boys more than girls in my personal experience, but I also know girls

love a dinosaur. They said my son, I spent a small fortune on dinosaurs for my first son. Just absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs and everything. Knew the names. You've got two nephews that know all the names of dinosaurs. Is he going to be a paleontologist? Well, no.

Where does that love disappear to? Maybe just other lizard-y type creatures. Okay. Somebody else said, my missus still has all of the dolphin ceramics and massive pictures on her wall. See? She's 26. Yeah. Mine was dogs.

No stuff now. Okay. But I love dogs. My son collects rocks. Rocks from anywhere. Constantly finding them everywhere and throwing them back into the garden and he gets really upset. Loves a rock. Tani, what were you obsessed with as a kid?

The Spice Girls. Actually, Vaughan, your brother was Spice Girls obsessed. Yeah, but he wasn't a kid. He was like 18. Did you have the Spice Girls impulse? Yeah, I had everything Spice Girls. Spice Girls impulse. I used to like cut the pictures out of magazines

and put them into scrapbooks. Like, I was, I had a problem. There was no shortage of posters for the Spice Girls either. They were always in the poster mags. Who was your favourite Spice Girl? I always liked Baby Spice, but when we had to act out the Spice Girls songs with my friends, they used to make me be Posh Spice.

I was Ginger when we did that at school. I was Sporty. She was pretty cool. Did you Ginger when we did it at school. I was sporty. She was pretty cool. When they did the reunion thing, did you go and get over there and see them? Or has that love gone? Oh no, their love is very much still there. I really wanted to, but we just

couldn't afford it and my husband was like no way he's getting that money to go over there. So I just played them on Spotify and my kids die, mate, by listening to it. Brilliant. Tani, thanks for your call. Jess, what were you obsessed with as a kid? Oh, as a kid, I had Furbies.

Oh, okay, yep. They weren't cheap, though. Oh, they were pretty hard to figure out, but once you got there, they'd do anything. Wait, so you cracked the Furbito? And then the bloody batteries would die, and then you couldn't feed it. Oh, they sound demonic when the batteries are dying. Thanks, you're cool, Jess.

Right. Your own? No. So what are you? Not my own. Mainly my mother's. But mainly like if I could it would be any long hair I could get my hands on. And I would even go as far as eat it sometimes.

You'd eat long hair? Yeah, I have no idea what the heck I was thinking back then, but, yep, I used to eat long hair. What would you be like, Mum, can I have a bit of long hair? Nah, she didn't actually know about it until I was about, oh, maybe 10 or 12, and I sort of knocked it on the head around 14, 15. Right, but would you just get, like, a little clipping,

and what would you do with it? Well yeah I used to um I used to just randomly find it if I'd find it then sleep if not then I wouldn't go out of my way to look for it. Are you a bird, Brandon, building a nest? We've been trying. I'm pretty sure that's exactly what my mum was thinking. Yeah, well, I'm glad you moved out of that phase, Brandon. Yeah. Is this something you started to get through? You don't see long hair now and it, like, triggers anything in your mind?

No, not really. I see it and I just need to get it away from me. Okay, do you not want a lock of Megan's long hair? No, thanks, no, not really. I see it and I just need to get it away from me. Okay. Do you don't want a lock of Megan's long hair? Uh, no, thanks. No. It's pink at the moment. It's pink at the moment. Some of it's pink.

Yeah. Yeah. Keep him at bay for a little bit Huh Yeah Yeah
