From out, we're in a different studio today, it feels, and we're in a different studio. Vaughan still hasn't got his headphones ready. No, Lanya's got my hole. Right, okay. Today, the show live from our new Plymouth studios last night. The Fact of the Day pub quiz at the Good Home. Great turnout.

Oh, lovely people last night. Including family. Yeah, we had some family along. Mum and Dad came along. Bev and John. They didn't do the quiz, though. No, but your mum, the whole way through,

was regretting it because she's like, I knew that. I knew that one. Yeah, but she doesn't know the Kardashian questions. No, she doesn't know that. She gets tripped up

on the Love Island questions. Yeah. Those kind of, you know, pop culture. Yeah. And I had a second cousin there that I've never met before. That's always nice.

He's born at the end of the night. It was just, you were yarning to this chick. I was like, who's she? You're like, it's my second cousin. Yeah. And I had a second cousin there that I've never met before. That's always nice. You weren't at the end of the night, right? It was just, you were yarning to this chick. I was like, who's she? You're like, it's my second cousin. Yeah. My brother was her mother's page boy. Right. Your mother?

My brother. Oh, your brother. My mother didn't used to be a man. I know, it was like a page boy. But then maybe you can have a page girl. It's 2018, Megan. You know, the shackles are off when it comes to gender specific roles. Yeah. page boy but then maybe you can have a page girl it's 2018 Megan you know the shackles are off

when it comes to gender specific roles yeah yeah so that's really crazy to just be in the knacky because you know I give this place

a bit of stick but it's only because of my you know my strong roots here right so right

the monger presented itself to us yesterday didn't it beautiful absolutely beautiful like a submissive dog it rolled onto its back and exposed its belly and we saw the monger presented itself to us yesterday, didn't it? It was beautiful. It did. Like a submissive dog, it rolled onto its back and exposed its belly. And we saw the monger in all of its glory in the evening sun. All right, coming up, I've worn the top sixes on the way.

Yeah, there was another Apple announcement yesterday. There's a couple of new iPhones headed our way. They ain't cheap. No. Even the entry level, what are they calling it? SX, the Max, the X. So there's the iPhone XR and the iPhone XS and the iPhone XS Max. Right, that's the most expensive one.

That's the top end one. That's going to be like $2,100 New Zealand dollars just for the 64 giga. Yeah. That's insane. Good lord. That's insane. Good lord. That's a lot of cash. So, top six. So, the top six things we found out from the Apple announcement.

Coming up. FEM. ZM. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines for three stories that are found online. Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one of the following three stories. Okay.

Headline one, police won't charge puppeteers. Headline two, militant vegans have vegans, have France on edge. And headline three, in-flight entertainment stuns nearby passengers. I know that France is having a real problem with the vegans. Like, they're getting crazy. Militant vegans. Yeah. problem with the vegans. Like, they're getting crazy. Militant. Yeah. So are the vegans armed now?

Yeah, that's what that would mean. Militant. Militant. Jeez, because I know, yeah, they've been attacking butchers and both the shop and the people that fall under the name butcher. Yeah. They break windows and stuff and tip blood on them, but I didn't know that they'd weaponised.

Good Lord. Goodness. The one about the in-flight entertainment, is someone watching boobies? No. Alright, their screen hasn't betrayed them. No. I'd go puppet or the in-flight. Yeah, I'm kind of like, oh, down for the puppets. I kind of

want to know what the puppeteers have been doing. Because has anybody seen that movie? You know the movie that came out, Melissa McCarthy was in it? That's out now, eh? The Happy Time Murders? Happy Time Murders. Has anybody seen that?

No. It's out, eh? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay. I was just wondering how that was. Because the trailer and stuff didn't sell me. Right.

One, because they were naughty puppets and they looked heaps like Muppets and Sesame Street were like, how Jim Henson dare you? Oh, see, I thought Jim Henson was in on it. Well, he's been dead since 1990, Megan. The short but very aggressive fight with cancer. The term Jim Henson clocked out.

But no, absolutely not. No, no, no. But they looked so much like them, right? Yeah. Undeniably Muppet looking, so they weren't happy about it. But I'm just, yeah, wondering if But they looked so much like them, right? Yeah. Undeniably Muppet looking, so they weren't happy about it. But I'm just, yeah, wondering if that movie, it seemed like one of those movies that was selling itself on controversy,

but maybe lacked. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't seen it. Okay. Are we going puppets then? Yeah, puppets it is. Okay, we go to Indiana in America,

and an Indiana sheriff says it does not appear that any laws were broken when two men took a video of themselves with their friend who was dead. Now, he had apparently died of a drug overdose, but they took the opportunity to... Wicked at Bernie's. Yes, to prop him up. What? And take photos and videos on social media of his dead limp body

and they propped him up, waved his arms, did whatever you can do, I don't know, with a dead body. Right. Did they just think he was KO'd or did they know he was dead? Because, you know, sometimes people pass out. Well, I think they were probably high as well, to be honest. Right. They don't sound like your typical classy

people, your law-abiding citizen. Quite wasted by the sounds of things. The Indian Sheriff is saying that as disgusting as this act is, they haven't broken any laws. They didn't kill him. He was already dead. He was doing

drugs with them. But aren't you obliged to call emergency services when you find someone dead? Or is that not a law? They're just hanging out with someone who's dead and not calling anyone. Or they might have called someone, but they knew they had 15 minutes

to get as much marionette time in as they could. That's so messed up. Yeah, it's bizarre. Because in theory, I'd love to play puppets with Vaughn's dead body, but if, in theory, I'd love to, like, play puppets with, like, Vaughn's dead body. But, like, if he actually died, I'd be like, oh, that's pretty sad. I'd be okay with it. Yeah, well, because I mean... Like, just check with my kids, because they're probably the people that'll be left, that'll be, like, freaked out by it.

But I'm actually sweet with it. Well, you want your open casket to come to bring you up during... Yeah, yeah, to, like, shoot me up during. And then, like, I'll record before I die. I'll be like, oh, oh God. Oh my God. It was stuffy in there. Like that sort of thing.

And then that'll be really great. Yeah, right. For you. For you, maybe not your family and your kids. Nah, they'll be like, oh, after it all calms down and they stop having nightmares, they'll be like, oh, that was classic dad. One day I assume they'll stop having nightmares, they'll be like, oh, that was classic, Dad. One day, I assume, they'll stop having nightmares.

We can only hope. All right, it's 12 past six. Next on the show, we've all been in a motel or a hotel that's got a minibar, right? Yeah. We stayed in a hotel, the lovely Novotel here in New Plymouth, doing the show live from the Naki today. There's a reason though,

I want to talk about this next, why Spanish hotels are stopping the minibar. Okay. Spanish hotels. Some Spanish hotels are stopping the minibar. Okay.

Because of one reason, we'll talk about this next. A study has been done in a touristy part of Spain where one in three tourists have admitted filling, you know, the little bottles you get in the minibar in the hotel. Yeah.

Like the little... Mini bourbon and... Yeah, a little bourbon. You get a little vodka, maybe a gin. Yeah. One in three tourists have admitted refilling bottles with urine, water or other liquids in hotels in Costa Blanca. Why urine?

There's tea and the tea's free. Use the tea. You can steep a tea to perfection of whiskey tint. Well, here's probably the difficulty with that, Vaughan, is that the tourists that mostly do this are British. So they're probably drinking the tea. Oh, they love a tea. They love a tea in a wee.

So they're not going to waste their tea on the minibar when wee is free. That is disgusting. And they say it is mostly British tourists. No wonder. It's Barcelona, isn't it, that's had enough of tourists? Yeah. No wonder. They're paying in the minibar.

It is weird how a place like Barcelona, which would have a majority of its economy would be tourism. Yeah. It's like, we're sick of you. Like, we don't want you. We don't want your money. There's too many people. There's too many of you. You've got no respect.

Like, that's how bad the tourists must be. They're like, no, we'd rather be poor. We'd rather be hungry. We'd rather you weren't here, you filthy grimo's. Yeah. That's upsetting if you're a British tourist because it's not all of them, right? And then you get tarnished with a bad rep

when you're travelling overseas. You're a British yobbo. Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, deserved because of experience. It's like Australians. they're the worst. They're just as bad, aren't they? We're kind of up there with Australians.

No, we're not. Drinking-wise, have a little bit of a reputation. But we fall under, that is the one advantage of being Australia's cute little brother or sister, is that people often, if we do naughty things, they think we're Australian. They're like, Australian? Yep.

Yep. But if we do cute things, they think we're Australian. They're like, Australian? Yep. Yep. But if we do cute things, we're New Zealanders. So we're using the cute to our advantage and just not admitting to the bad stuff. Alright, the top six is next. FBM, the podcast.

The top six with Vaughan Smith. Hello there. Yesterday there was an Apple announcement and I'll give a forewarning. Studio full of Apple fans. Yeah. Samsung people are like, they've had those buttons and stuff for ages.

Yeah. But there was an announcement yesterday and it wasn't like a huge, huge announcement like, hey guys, your iPhone's going to be able to fly you to the moon now. I know that. That's the thing. Even Samsung announcements and Apple announcements, it's kind of like we've hit the ceiling, isn't it?

We can get nicer screens and maybe faster phones, but where's the holographic phone? Where's the phone of the future that's in my head? And I'm just like, call mum. I'm not putting the phone in the head. You won't? I'm not putting my phone in my head yet. Not yet?

No, maybe they know how to do it, but they're just freaked out. It'll freak too many people out. You've got to slowly. You can't just be like, phone needs charging once a day. Straight to phones in your head now. There's got to be some steps in between. Oh, right, like 10 more years or something. But how good would it be?

I was just thinking, phone in your head, and then having to charge it once a day. It would obviously run off your bio power. So your body would be burning calories to charge your internal phone. Oh. Oh my God.

Give me a phone in my head. I just leave all my apps open. I have a phone in my head now. You know how you shut them all the time and then I open all the apps. To save batteries, I'd turn brightness right up

and everything. It'd be burning calories. It'd be pancakes every day for breakfast. I thought you'd have to install like a lightning charger or a USB charger. On the back of your head. Yeah, or something on your wrist or something.

Plug yourself in before you go to sleep. And then it gets all dusty and you're like, can you just blow out my charging? Yeah, someone's going to be like, I've got a bit of fluff in here. Or you go to the beach and you get like sand in your charging port. Oh, no, you need to put a bit of tape over your charging port.

Yeah. Or you put it around your, you plug yourself in when you go to sleep and you wake up and you've choked yourself because you roll over and you sleep and choke yourself with the cord. Yeah. So the top six things we learned

from the Apple announcement yesterday. Number six, this one truly blew my mind. Apple is about to sell their two billionth iOS device. Wow. So that's iPads, iPhones. Watches. Watches, anything that runs on there. So, two billionth, I googled, the best I could

find is on average, they average about one centimetre thickness. So if you look at your iPad or iPhone now, about one centimetre thickness. Some are a little thicker, some are a little thinner. So that's two billion centimetres, which is 20,000 kilometres. So if you put every iOS device

on the thinnest side possible, so the thickness of it, end to end, it would reach from Hamilton, New Zealand to Cordoba, Spain. That's 20,000 kilometres. That's the longest distance between two cities in the world. Wow. Wow. Crazy, eh?

That's crazy, yeah. And that's the thin side. So if you actually stack them long end to end, you're probably in back. Just make a moon bridge. Yeah. So when and before I said your iPhone can't take you to the moon, could.

Could, yeah. Number five on the list of the top six things we learned yesterday is that if you've got an iPhone 5 or below, it's pretty much obsolete. iOS 12 comes out on September 17, so prep the phone for an upgrade, like delete all those videos you've been meaning to delete for ages because you're not going to have room for the upgrade.

Or delete stuff for the ultimate handbrake. Because you know when you've got an older phone and you update the iOS and all of a sudden your phone runs like a tank? Well, they do it on purpose. Yeah, they do. Cheeky buggers. That'll do it. Number four on the list of the top six things we learned in the iPhone announcement yesterday,

Apple TV programming is coming, like original programming. They've signed two more movie deals this week, one about wolves and one about elephants. Not a lot of details on those programs. Okay, you're going to take on Netflix. You've got to do better than that. Well, they also have a show with both Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston on one show. Oh, okay. A Dragon's Den-style show but with apps,

Carpool Karaoke without James Corden, and M. Night Shyamalan has a TV series on that. Did I hear they had Steven Spielberg doing something as well? They've got quite a line-up. Right, okay. They've got a lot of money to sink into it. Yeah, they've got quite a few original programs coming, including just a quick mention to the team behind

The Big Sick, that movie. Oh, I love that movie. So that husband and wife producing team are making a show about immigrants in America. Oh, wow.

About what it's like being an immigrant in America. Number three on the list of the things you'll learn from the Apple announcement yesterday, HomePod, which is their version

of like Alexa, are making a run for Alexa. These are my favorite things that it said it will be able to do. You will literally be able to say after an update coming before Christmas they say, Siri, can you play that song that goes and then just attempt

to sing the song and they believe they've got the software now that will be able to work out what song you mean and start playing that song. No matter how badly you sing. That's the thing, if they can't work it out, you've probably really got to take a look at yourself. Okay, I'm terrible at singing. Number two on the list of what we learnt from the

Apple announcement yesterday, old people can wear Apple Watches now instead of Media Alert bracelets. This is what everyone is saying, that basically all that came out of yesterday was Nana gets a home bracelet. So, yeah, what is it in the internal? Gyroscope or whatever or however they do it.

Because in my mind, gyroscope is one of those big things your dad had on his desk when you were a kid and you spun it and it magnetised around and it looked like planets. But a much smaller version. My dad didn't have a desk or one of those. My friend's dad had a desk at his work and that was my favourite. That and the balls that you like picked up at one end and it clanked out the other.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are pretty neat. One of those spinning basically can tell the difference between a trip, a fall, and like a collapse. Oh, yeah, okay. Because the body either goes straight down, tumbles forward, or falls backwards. And they'll be able to tell. And then it will literally say,

contacting emergency services in 10, 9, 8. Oh, so you can stop it. So you can stop it if you just like tripped over, but you're all it. If you're just like tripped over but you're alright. Now it's just to convince old people to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a watch they don't even know how to use. That's the thing. That might be helpful but what about all the other features that they're just going to have no idea. No idea.

And the number one thing we learnt yesterday from the Apple announcement, they were talking about this. They were touting this as a big accomplishment. Apple facilities now run completely on clean energy. That includes the retail stores, the offices, the data centres and apparently co-located facilities in 43 countries. They're using recycled tin and bioplastics where they can, which sure helps out with that image we all had now,

head of that Chinese eye lake full of eye sludge from a few years ago. Remember that? It was just that pipe going into a lake and they're like, look what you're doing when you buy an iPhone. That is today's top six. We've all been there when you go to Kmart for like cleansing wipes. Like $2 cleansing wipes. And then you get a trolley full of stuff and it's like hundreds of dollars at the checkout.

And you're like, oh, well, I got like 700 things. It's okay. I haven't been that bad. Oh, really? I'm not sure. Neither. No one believed that. I got like 700 things. It's okay. I haven't been that bad. Oh, really? I'm not sure. Neither. But now... No one believed that.

Now you came out of shopping addiction, it's going to get worse or better, depending on how you look at it. Okay. Because they are introducing Afterpay. Now, if you're not familiar with Afterpay... Fascinated with Afterpay, because I see it everywhere,

and there's a couple of things like it. There's a couple of other... So, yeah, I always see the little logos on the store. Yeah. Like every store has them now. We now offer Afterpay. And online shopping Afterpay as well. Right. So what is it? So the deal is instead of like with Laybuy you pay it off but you don't get the stuff

until you've made your final payment. With Afterpay it's split into four payments. So it's more like a higher purchase. Yeah. But not as full on. Like you sign up and then you can just get it, right?

Yeah. So you pay the first instalment of four and your goods, you get them straight away. So if you're in the shop, you get your stuff straight away or it gets shipped

to you straight away. And then every two weeks after that, you have to pay the final three instalments. So it's broken down into four payments of two weeks.

And it just comes out of the same account. So if I use my FBOS card for Afterpay then I would have to have that money in that account. Do I get a reminder when I sign up for Afterpay? Do I get a text message or an email saying make sure you've got the money in the account?

I'd say so. You've just got to make the payments like you do with any bill, basically. I've never used it but that just seems from looking at it, that's what it does. Because I just gurgled after pay just to see who was in charge of it. Because I didn't really know how it worked, but I know that it was one of those big financial things. So one of the dudes, Nicholas Molnar, he just turned 30. And when he turned 30, he also became a 200 millionaire. Really?

So him and another guy, Anthony Eisen. It's Australian started in... He's 28 when he was worth $200 billion. Wow. So I don't know what the other guy did. He was two years behind. Maybe he did that. I'm ready to sit myself down one weekend

and try and come up with something like that. Some idea, right. Just feel like all these ideas are passing me by. The financial ideas, you know, you always hear about it and you're like, oh, I could have thought of something like that. But then without the financial know-how, you don't know how to institute it, do you? Yeah.

And the trouble is with this is like, it's good because you're making smaller payments over a period of time. But I can imagine with Kmart, that's over a month. I'm going back to Kmart before my last Afterpay's done. Hey, but it's like if you can't buy it now, don't buy it. Does it? It's true.

Does it cost more on Afterpay? I think they've got fees and stuff. Right, so there's fees and there's, like is the fourth payment slightly more than the first payment? No, they're all equal payments. But they're all a little bit bigger? No, I think they're all the same. There may be a little fee, but it's not much.

So how has this guy made $200 million? And the other guy's got $200 million. That's $400 million. The company's worth $1.5 billion. Does the companies pay them to use Afterpay because it encourages people to buy? Yeah, maybe. Look, someone's making a heck of a lot of money

and it's not us. And now that Kmart are offering it, like every other store, that's just adding to the list, isn't it? And it's just, when you go to the checkout and it's like, you can just pay this much now and this much over, you're like, oh, well, I can afford it then. I should have got five copper baskets. Yeah.

So it's dangerous. It's the non-devil version of those people that drive around in trucks into neighbourhoods and they're like, hey, you need these things. Well, those... Pay a little bit now with this horrendous interest rate. Yeah, but without the horrendous interest rates and not preying on people in poor neighbourhoods, basically.

Okay. So good luck with your wife at Kmart. Maybe we just don't tell her about that. Yeah, or she just uses your credit card, which is her after pay, isn't it? Yeah. Or just no pay. That's called Vorno pay.

Are you making 200? It's not making you Yeah. Or just no pay. That's called Vorno Pay. Are you making 200? And it's not making you money. Or Vorno Pay. And I don't need any more customers because I ain't making $200 million. Do you have a logo on the shop front, Vorno Pay? Yeah, no.

No, logo's on the front of the shop saying Vorno Not Pay. Coming up on the show, eight o'clock, we've got cash to give away and very soon we need to talk about what Vaughan found on pay. Coming up on the show, eight o'clock, we've got cash to give away and very soon we need to talk about what Vaughan found on the streets of New Plymouth yesterday

when we were walking along and it was just there. Just right there. Just right there. We'll talk about this soon. Now I don't know what I've done with it. Great. Great.

Oh God. I'm related but kind of related. There is, I didn't even know this was a thing, but there is the Worldwide Negative Experience Index. Okay. This is a polling firm spoke to 154,000 people in 145 countries asking them how they were feeling that day. Oh, cute.

Was it the same day around the world? Oh, I don't know. Surely not. They couldn't get through that many calls. 150. And like, what if you just pick someone on a bad day? Yeah, or what about if what ruined your day was someone being like, have you got five minutes to answer some questions?

Now I'm grumpy. Now I'm not good. Well, they spoke to people about how their day had been. And unfortunately, the worldwide negative experiences were the highest since polling began in 2006. Okay. Collectively, the world is more stressed, worried, sad, and in pain today than we've ever seen it. I see the people that run their service, which isn't good.

No. It's up, and it hit 30, the average around the world. In 2007, it was on 23. And then, you know, contrary to that, they've got the positive experience index. That's dropped to 69, which is the lowest it's been and equal to when the global financial crisis hit.

So everybody just needs, I don't know. It's not great news. The great news is that the lowest negative experiences, so this is just the people who hadn't had a shitty day. They hadn't had a great day, but they hadn't had a shitty day. They hadn't had a great day, but they hadn't had a shitty day. We are the lowest. Oh, that's great news.

There's us and five other countries. Oh no, sorry. We're the second bad news. We're the third lowest. I was reading the thing upside down. The lowest is Estonia. Right. It's not been a shitty day. They're happy. Do you feel like, because if someone's like, how's your day going? You'd be like, it's good. That's what I said.

It's very key. We'd be like, eh, good, good. Oh, nothing wrong. But then when you're asked to, you know, expand, you can't say why. Yeah. You know? Yeah. You can't be like, oh, no, good, good.

Even if it's bad, you're like, yeah, no, it's good. It's good. It's good. Just because that's your default answer. But then when they probe, you don't have an answer why. Well, that's the thing. Kiwis are good at bottling it up, aren't they? Yeah.

But on the positive side, we're equal with Sweden, the Netherlands, Mauritius, Bulgaria, and Belarus, which, I mean, apart from Belarus, I've never really heard that described as a happy country. And maybe Bulgaria is on the up and up. But, you know, the Netherlands and Sweden, they're always considered... Yeah, quite happy. Quite happy. And cool countries.

You would think if we were low on the negative experiences, we'd be high on the positive experiences. No. No. It's because we're just, like, right in the middle. We're like, we're all good. But that's why we're like, nah, yeah, nah, it's been a good day. Really, what happened?

I don't know. It's just not been great, but, you know, she's a good mate. Nothing to complain about. Like, people who aren't Kiwis don't live here always find it odd when we're like, yeah, nah. They're like, yes or no. Which one's the one we should focus on? But it's not perfectly average.

Not as confusing as Australians when they're like, yeah, but. Yeah, but. But what? Yeah, nah, but. Yeah, because the but's always a bit. So if you want to get the highest positive experiences worldwide, you've got to head to South America.

Paraguay, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala. That's why Fletch always goes there. Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, they're all in the top 10. They are, but that's the thing. A lot of them don't have a lot, you know,

but they're all happy. Yeah. It's crazy. And we've all got flash iPhones and stuff. Places not to go. Oh, okay. This is the highest negative experiences. So these are people who are having a bad day

and they're not afraid to say, it's not been a good day. Yeah. The Central African Republic. Okay. Not a good day. Okay. Iraq,

not having a good time. South Sudan, they have a few things they good day. Okay. Iraq, not having a good time. South Sudan, they have a few things they wish to talk about. Chad, Sierra Leone, Egypt, Iran, Niger, the Palestinian territories, Liberia, Uganda, and here's the surprise,

Madagascar, because my experience with that is just moving it and moving it. And liking to move it, move it. Exercise, you know, is good. And dolphins. And penguins. They're always up to shenanigans.

Why are they so sad? I don't know. Why are they so sad? I don't know. They're so happy in the movie. And so they might have political unrest that we don't know about because we're down here in our, yeah, not so bad corner of the world. Well, we haven't seen the follow-up movie, have we? No.

Oh, The Massacre. The Madagascar Massacre. The Massacre. Yeah. It's the only way they can end that popular franchise. Sorry, kids. All the animals are dead now. Yesterday, I went for a walk around New Plymouth.

I got some supplies for our upcoming tramp camp that starts today. God, I've got too much. My pack's like 25 kgs. Because I'll tell you what's weighing me down, scrumpy. I saw you put a bottle of scrumpy in there. Two bottles of scrumpy. And a bottle of wine. Yeah.

You have to carry that. Yeah, I know. I know. And then I got a lovely bottle of buttery shark. And Fletch was like, get a bottle of port. I'm like, I like where your head's at, but I'm not carrying a bottle of port. Although port would, maybe we'll go back and get a bottle of port. You guys have to walk out the next day. No, we're saying

two nights. So you reward yourself at the end of the first night. Oh, okay. And then you have a quiet one. That's if we make it. Yeah, with the heavy pack. One thing that will not be coming with us is the thing I found in the streets of New Plymouth yesterday. We were walking,

walking past the Maccas. That was cranking, by the way. What time was that? Two o'clock? Yeah. Don't judge. No, no, the drive-thru. We were like, what's happening here?

Is this a New Plymouth tradition? The two o'clock Maccas. Like, the drive-thru was out. At least they had a problem, and so everybody was just, like, waiting. No, what we thought was weird was that people were there at two because either you're there at lunchtime or dinner.

Like, two's an odd time for a drive-thru to be packed. Yeah. That was our observation. It wasn't that it was packed. It was the time that it was packed. Maybe there'd been a breakdown. No. And so the usual flow had just stopped.

No, I don't think so. Okay, anyway. So some lads yelled out at me and they want me to partake in their team that, you know, you do the round the rate, the round the mountain. They were in the power co truck, weren't they? Yeah. Yeah, they want me to do a leg.

And I said, I'm not really doing long distance. And they're like, well, neither are we. That's why we need heaps of people in our team. It's a bit of a tradition because you do like legs

and you go right the way around the mountain. It's a huge run. The equivalent of four marathons? Yeah, it's huge. Good Lord. So they're like, we're aiming for like 20 or so people in our team so we don't have to run too far. I was like, I? Yeah, it's huge. Good lord. So they're like, we're aiming for like 20 or so

people in our team so we don't have to run too far. I was like, I like where your head's at. Leave me no times and dates and we'll see what we can do. Yeah. Then I turned around and I was walking back to where Fletch and my wife were standing and I looked down into the gutter and I was like, what's that? And it was in a small plastic bag

and I leaned over and picked it up and gave it a shake and it was Marukawana. A little baggie plastic bag. And I leaned over and picked it up and gave it a shake. And it was maracuana. A little baggie of weed. And Vaughan, both Sade, Vaughan's wife and me, were like, put that down, Vaughan. Throw it back down there. I was like, look at this. And I was like, smell this.

And then, yeah, I couldn't, well, I don't know why I couldn't believe it. We're in New Zealand. We do have a usage. People do use it. And then I chased Caitlin with it when We're in New Zealand. We do have a usage. People do use it. And then I chased Caitlin with it when we got back to the hotel being like,

I'm going to plant this on you. I'm going to rub it on your bag so next time you go through the airport the sniffer dogs get you. And she was really freaking out. And then I went to throw in the bin and I don't know where it's gone. I hope.

Last night when we got back Shardae's like you better get ready for the pub quiz I was like oh heck I've been chasing people

around with this marijuana and now I don't know where it's gone because I was like I'll get ready and then I was like I'll put that in the bin

and I was like hold on it was in this and I don't know where it's gone I hope it's in one of the rogue pockets in your bag

So next time I go through the airport I get this stuff I hope it hasn't fallen out of mum pockets in your bag. So next time I go through the airport, I get this stuff a doll. I hope it hasn't fallen out of mum and dad's car. Bev won't be happy. She gets pulled over for a traffic stop. Or will she be? Or it might...

No, it might have fallen out in the company car. Well, again, that's not a good thing either, Maud. No, no, that's not a good thing. Hopefully one of the interns will take the heat. Because I'm a 36-year-old father of two, what would I have marijuana for? Because you picked it up off the bloody street. Yeah, because I'm just curious.

Right, okay. But I would just like to know what people have found. It was in the gutter. Right, okay. Shade is convinced that someone was being chased by the police and they threw it there. She's got a whole backstory. Yeah, she's creating some sort of law and order episode out of it

so that when I get arrested for possession of next to nothing and I'm in the clink, she can start my defence case. And I guess, like, talking about it on national radio, am I publicly, am I making myself guilty or am I, like, because it's not mine? It certainly publicly am I making myself guilty or am I like because it's not mine? It certainly sounds like, well I mean you're not technically in possession of it are you? Exactly, God knows where it is.

Well that you know of. I don't know, I don't know where it is. So yeah, well I'd just like to know what people have found while just walking down the street. Because they always say there's that saying isn't there, fell off the back of a truck. You wander along and something's fallen off. The origins of that saying being. Well that normally means it's stolen. Yeah, you stole it off the back of a truck. You wander along and something's fallen off. The origins of that saying being. Well, that normally means it's stolen, doesn't it?

Yeah, you stole it off the back of a truck. What have you found just like on the street, lying around? Did you pick it up? People find money all the time. Maybe you always hear of people that, like tourists, that lose a big wad of money. Yeah, I've found money, but it's only been like, yeah, one rogue note. But I always feel like there's a hidden camera show.

I know. So I don't pick it up. And then you go and chase it and it starts running away from you. You're like, come here, you bloody. Oh, it's on a string. God damn it, I'm on some stupid show. Or if it was like a roll of cash and you picked it up and you took it home and they were like, this man took cash.

I'd be like, blur my face. I don't care. Like, you don't have my permission to use my face. Blur it. And I'll keep the money. That's fine, that's my appearance fee. Okay, so 0800 DALZITM, we want you to call us now, or you can text 9696.

What did you just find on the street? And maybe you handed it in, or maybe you kept it. Or maybe you took it home and like when you lost it. You've lost it now. 0800 DALZITMIT-AM-9696. FVM, the podcast. Fletch, want to make it in the show?

Thanks to Spark, 50% off Spotify Premium on a $19 Spark prepaid rollover pack. We're just talking about yesterday on the streets of New Plymouth, I found a small bag of marijuana. Thank you to local amnesty collectors here in New Plymouth who have messaged in saying they'll take that off my hands and dispose of it. At the police station.

No, through an apple. Through an apple. Through an apple. They said that's their chosen disposal technique. Through an apple. Megan, it's a homemade bowl, isn't it? Oh, okay. God, Megan.

Sorry. I don't know. I'm from the knacky. I know these things. Yeah. Well, I mean, Megan's from Nelson. What's your local fruit down there? Raspberries. Peaches. I don't know. I'm from the knacky. I know these things. Yeah. Well, I mean, Megan's from Nelson. What's your local fruit down there? Raspberries.

Peaches. I don't know if you can make peaches. Isn't it apples? Megan and the giant peach. Charlie, no wonder we're singing giant caterpillars. So what you've found on the street is what we're talking about this morning. Some text messages. And I once found a homemade D-I-L-D-O. D-I-L-D-O.

D-I-L-D-O. And it was a name of. When tidying a car park. Okay. What's someone had just. Do you want to hear how it was made? It was made up of plastic bags. Oh, hang on.

I finally just realised you said homemade. Yeah. Bunched together really hard, covered in sellotape, and then covered again in a final plastic covering, covered in Vaseline. Killed it. Well, it's like when we made the homemade poise at school.

Multilanguage, right? You can actually attach a couple of poise to the bottom of that homemade situation. Good. Yeah, I don't know. You guys laugh. I'm shooketh. Speaking of the homemade situation and good get the home yeah I don't know you guys laugh I'm shooketh speaking of the

homemade DILDOs somebody said they found a bag of DILDOs outside the school they work at jeez

it was just a plastic bag full of them well they were talking we were just talking yesterday about Eero's education in schools when it comes to

adult information that's right yes yes and now they need to up their game but perhaps not using a but it is if there is a positive about Aero's education in schools when it comes to adult information. That's right, yes, yes. And now they need to up their game, but perhaps not using it. But if there is a positive to come out of this, that's the second use of that single-use plastic bag. It is. You're right.

So now it's a dual-use plastic bag. Logan has called up. Now, Logan, what did you find just on the street? I was going down the street, and I saw some, it looked like paper was fluttering in the wind and as I got closer it turned out to be

a whole lot of $100 bills and counting it up ended up being close to three grand in cash. Oh my God. So what did you do with that? So I gathered that up in the plastic bag

that was also containing a lot of money and then took it down to the local police station and it turned out it was from a water delivery truck guy because there was a few checks in there as well and he put it on the back of his truck and

he drove down the street and it would blow up and all of his month's worth of money was fluffing around in coats. Was there a moment where you were like, could I steal this? A little bit, yep. No, no, no, that's all I was going to say.

You would have asked for everyone's money, wouldn't it? If he's being paid predominantly in cash, he's probably doing a few cashy jobs there. You should just do

the self IRD and take yourself a percentage there as tax. He's not doing that. But if it's a bunch and there's checks in there, you know that it's a business

and someone's dropped it. And hard-earned money. You know, that's so good on you. Did you end up getting a reward for that, though? I would never actually keep it and I knew that, you know, water truck guys work a lot of hours and, you know, it's also the right thing to do.

So he was very happy and gave me a call and bought me a box of beers and... Oh, that's nice. And if you ever have a swimming pool that needs filling, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to do that for you. What, with filtered bottled water? No. Oh, no. I'm imagining you're talking about like that guy

who drives around with a massive tank on, right? Yeah, that's the one. Fills up tank water. Oh, right. I imagine those water cooler trucks that always get hit in the movies. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not like a tanker.

Like a tanker and they go and fill up and people are on tank water. You're a good man, Logan. Thanks for your call. Paul has called up. Paul, what did you find on the street? Oh, it was a few years ago. Me and my mum were walking up to the shops

and there was a bit of paper on the side of the road and we picked it up and it was just up the road from our house and it turned out to be a police search warrant for a house up the road. It had been executed a few weeks earlier. Oh, yes. I was like, he'd knock on the door and be like, excuse me.

We've got a search warrant. Hold on, it's here somewhere. Hold on, hold on, guys. Don't charge in yet. I'm just going to... I think that means we get to keep the TV. Back to the station. Don't you guys splash any drugs down the toilet.

We'll be back with our search warrant. We scanned it and we changed the name and the address to my uncle's place and we popped around and we put it in a letterbox and we rang him up a few hours later and he was freaking out. Oh, that's amazing. That's great. Good sense of humor, Paul. Good.

All right, thanks for your call, mate. Sarah has called up. Sarah, what did you just find on the street? Oh, no, it wasn't me. It was a friend. She was at the petrol station and, like, she saw something shining on the ground and we thought, oh, it must have just been some glass that, you know,

somebody must have had it crash. It must have just been a piece of shiny, like, glass. She took it, popped it, like, in her pocket and said, oh, well, it might be, like, you know, some crystal or something. I'll go get it checked out. Like, won't bother about it. Went overseas, took it to the jeweler and they were like, it's a diamond and it's valued at about 12 or 13K. Whoa.

So it must have been pretty big. Yeah. And what, did she keep it? Yeah. I sold it. At that point, you've had it for a while. And it was probably insured too. Like, they would have had it insured.

Surely. Yeah. So I took it overseas and sold it and said, well, I don't know who the person is. And it's been like months and months and months. So must not have kept up. That's how stealing things work. That's how you...

You're stealing. Then you move overseas. Then you're like, well, I tried my best. Hey, thanks for your call, Sarah. Some text messages in. Somebody said, I found an envelope sitting on the side of the road that had farmers written on it. And I thought, oh, it might be like a gift certificate or something.

I opened it up and it was a pair of false teeth wrapped in a lady's handkerchief inside a farmer's envelope. Very disappointing find there. Lame. Some other text messages in Somebody I tell you what There's a few people

Finding the old Adult fun toys Really Yeah Lots of them How are they getting out Into the street I don't know

They're making a run for it It's like toy story I've seen enough Yeah Toy story It's adult toy story Woody and Buzz Are also good names for adult fun toys.

Come on, Rabbit. Let's go to the shop. You can go with us, Woody and Buzz. To infinity and beyond. This is pretty cute. Last year when hay prices went up due to the drought, I was driving home and found five bales of hay on the side of the road. Well, that's like...

Great find. How much would those be worth? They would have been well over $100 worth. So I parked up and called the husband to bring down the ute so we could take them home. Good find. Good find. I took my dog swimming in gore.

He dived under in a river and came back with a sawn-off shotgun. Oh, my God. I was like, got a stick. He wasived under in a river and came back with a sawn-off shotgun. Oh my God. I was like, got a stick. He was like, what do I do? Like, that sounds like I'd be using a robbery. I'd call the police. So I had to walk it to the police station because I called, but nobody answered.

And I had to stand at their door ringing the bell to get in. They looked through the window and saw a guy with a sawn-off shotgun. I went into full defence mode. Took a little bit of explaining, but yeah. I found a $2,000 watch on the curb when I was walking with a friend,

handed it into the police station. No one claimed it. Six weeks later, I got a call saying, congratulations, the watch is yours. And there's a few calls about that. People that find things take it to the police station and then after a little while get a call saying, yeah, you better come back in and pick it up

because it's technically yours now. That's ideal because then your conscience is clear. Like, you tried. Yeah. And then you get to keep it. That's good because most of that stuff would be stolen, and no one's going to the police station to get their stolen property back, are they?

No. Sweet. Someone when they were a kid found a police ticket book on the side of the road, so they wrote all their friends' tickets to school. All right, on the show next. Mark Wahlberg has shared his schedule online, and everyone is going crazy about his daily activities.

That's insane. We'll go through Mark Wahlberg's typical day next on Zed App. Mark Wahlberg has shared his daily schedule online. This is basically because he must be doing those questions on Instagram. Right. Because a fan has asked him how often he works out. Because I watched that Mile 22 movie. He's still ripped.

Because what's Mile 22 about? They have to get like some guy that they're, what do you call a person who's... He's a CIA operative. Yeah, there you go. He's a small but lethal paramilitary team on an urgent and dangerous mission. They must transport a foreign intelligence asset from an American embassy in South East Asia to an airfield for extraction 22 miles away.

Oh that sounds good. It sounds good. Is it a good movie? Yeah it was better than I thought it would be. Yeah Rotten Tomatoes have given it a stellar 22%. Megan!

It was alright. Everyone was going to rave about it. Actually when Vaughan and I know not to trust your movie reviews No do you know the only reason I went

is because my parents like action movies and I took them to an action movie. That's the same with my dad. He loves action movies. But I love a crappy action movie. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't groundbreaking.

So, before you tell us this, let me point out that Mark Wahlberg is 47 years old. Yeah. And, like, if you were 47 and had his body, you'd be stoked, right? Yeah, because... If I had his body at my age, I'd be stoked. If I ever had his body, I'd be stoked, right? Yeah, because... If I had his body at my age, I'd be stoked. If I ever had his body, I'd be stoked. Yeah. If I got to just see his body in person and touch it,

I'd probably be pretty stoked. Okay. And, like, that's not ageist. It's just the fact that when you get older, it's just harder to get that kind of muscle. We're speaking about men in their late 40s. Paul Rudd, because I watched 40-Year-Old Virgin. He doesn't age.

He doesn't age, but he's in better shape now than he was. He's 49. Paul Rudd, because I watched 40-Year-Old Virgin. He doesn't age. He doesn't age, but he's in better shape now than he was. He's 49, Paul Rudd. Are you? I would have thought like 40. 49. Yeah, he's 49. And in the latest Ant-Man and the Wasp, there's a scene where he gets in the bath.

The dude's ripped. Yeah. Good on them. So he's 47 years old, and a fan asked him on Instagram how often he works out. And this is when Mark shared his breakdown of a typical day. It is insane. First of all

his day starts at 2.30am. I always knew that he got up early. This isn't new news is it? We knew that he's like, he gets up super early. Yeah, but that's why? Too early. That's the middle of the night. Like Vaughan, you get up at what? Three? Three. My alarm goes off

a quarter past three. That's mental too. That's silly, but 2.30 does seem extra silly. Yeah, so he wakes up at 2.30 and then I guess 15 minutes he's just chilling because then at 2.45 is prayer time for half an hour. Half an hour of prayer time? That's a nap.

That snooze to me, I have 15 minutes of prayer in the morning too. It's called the snooze button. Or it's computer room time while his family are asleep. So he's been up for 45 minutes before he eats at 3.15 where he has breakfast. 3.40 to 5.15 is his workout. So I guess that's similar to you, like he's working out at that time of the day. Yeah, we're both pumping iron at the same time. You and me and Warbird.

Look at us. Twins. So then at 5.30, he has another meal. So he ate at 3.15 breakfast. 5.30 is a post-workout meal. 6 a.m. he has a shower. 7.30 he does golf for half an hour. Does he just have his own golf course or something?

Or just like a drive-thru? Remember, this is a typical day. So he would play golf most half an hour. Does he just have his own golf course or something or just like a driving range? Remember this is a typical day so he would play golf most days. Okay. Then at 8 o'clock he has a snack.

Wait he plays half an hour of golf? Yeah. It must be driving range or a trip in park or something. Then at 8 o'clock snack

9.30 cryo chamber recovery that is for an hour. So he's so rich he's got his own cryo chamber. That's cold, eh? It's like an ice bath situation. You stand, I think that's what Lindsay Lohan was doing.

You stand in them and your head's out of it. Yeah. Yeah, right. So he does that every day for an hour. Okay. Then at 11 a.m., yeah, it's family time meetings, work calls. That goes to one, which is where he has his lunch. Wouldn't his kids be at school?

You'd think so. Maybe they're homeschooled. Okay. 2 p.m. meetings and work calls. 3 p.m. Oh, pick up kids at school. Okay. So family time, maybe that's wife.

The wife, okay. 3.30 a snack. 4 p.m. he does his second workout for the day. That's an hour at four. Right. So that's where you and Mark Wahlberg differ. Differ, yeah. He does the second workout. What are you doing at four o'clock?

Having a snack. Fortnight. Children. Yep. Yeah. Fortnight. 5pm he has a shower and then 5.30 is dinner and family time and then he goes to bed at 7.30. What an insane day.

So he has seven hours of sleep a night. So it's like a decent amount of sleep. But he goes to bed at 7.30. What an insane day. So he has seven hours of sleep a night. So this is like a decent amount of sleep. But he goes to bed at 7.30 and wakes up at 2.30am. And I imagine that's when he's at home. Movie schedules would be all over the show. He'd be filming night and mornings and all kinds. Wow. It's madness. So two workouts a day. He's got four

kids. His wife, his work. And his prayer time. Because what is he? Is he Catholic? Remember when we spoke to him he's quite religious. Do you remember that? I think he's Catholic or Christian of some sort. Right. Yeah. That's like a half

a Catholic mass every day. Too much. Yeah. I reckon you could condense that down to two minutes. Yeah. Surely. It's about using your time with God efficiently. Yeah. I'm here for It's about, you know, using your time with God efficiently. Yeah. Yeah. I'm here for a good time, not a long time, God.

FEM. Friday Jams Day today from nine o'clock. But as always, we warm up with Friday Flashback. Vaughn, it's your pick today. Yes. I was inspired this week. Okay. Whilst waiting outside my daughter's yoga class, I got locked out, a man went past in a early 2000s silver Ford Mondeo.

Now, he was wearing a high-vis reflective vest. Okay. And he had a hard hat on, which I thought was unusual. To be driving with a hard hat. Yeah. Yeah. Again, reflective. Yeah.

Okay. Must have been comfortable. And he was cranking the song. Cranking it. So you were like, oh, that's inspiration. He had his windows down at the Silver Monday. He was stoked to be finished for the day. And he was listening to the song with such a passion,

I thought, a wonderful Friday flashback that would make, if there's anyone listening who has the passion for the end of the work week like that man. Okay. And that Silver Monday-o. Okay, well, that's coming up. Right now, though, I can tell you, news out of the UK,

divorce statistics have cited fortnight for dozens of divorce proceedings in the UK. Very specific. That's right, irreconcilable differences. No, no, no. Trust me, they know the name of it.

F-ing fortnight turn that shut up how many we're not hearing about the divorces from Love Island are we but that's because

guys just played fortnight while Love Island was on yeah yeah I reckon the reason these divorces have started filing in now is because Love Island's finished and she's like

pay more attention to me and the husbands are like but find something else to watch I don't like that that representation of a woman please find something pay more attention to me. And the husbands are like, but find something else to watch. I don't like that representation of a woman, please. Find something, pay more attention to me. Well, yeah, maybe. Maybe there was couples where, you know, one male liked the gaming

and one liked the Love Island. It could be. And apologies for wanting to spend time with your beloved husband. Well, you didn't want to when bloody Danny and Danny were romping all over that Spanish bloody villa. Danny and Jack. I don't know. There was two and Danny were romping all over that Spanish bloody vela. Danny and Jack. I don't know. There was two Dannys though, right? No. No, that's right, the girl was Danny and her dad's name

is Danny. Yeah, yeah, Danny Dyer. Do you think it's because Love Island finished and all these women are like, well, my husband's not like any of those hot guys. Yeah, and she, I'm like, I'm sorry love, we're on an island of our own where 100 other men have dropped in and we must eliminate them all.

With guns, not love. Yeah. So divorce-online.co.uk said, taking into account Fortnite, but also other online games and gaming, 200 divorces this year. Wow. Since January have cited online gaming. That's just the straw that's broken the camel's back though, right? Because obviously, like, there's other issues going on.

That's just the final. Yeah. So the types of, they said it's always addiction, addiction problems that have been the main cause of divorce. So it used to be drugs, alcohol, and gambling. But now in the digital age, it's online gaming, social media, and pornography that are the addictions. Really? That are cited more often in divorce.

So you'd still have your traditional addictions that are causing divorce, but this just adds to it. Yeah. Okay. It's pretty sweet. I'm just watching the clips in the story and I'm like, damn, I haven't played for a few days, y'all. Well, what are you going to do when we go bush this weekend? Spend some holiday time with your wife. I assume I'm hunting you all.

And trying to find treasure chests with golden scars in them. Is that not what we're doing? No. He's like, oh, Fletch didn't spill out goodies when he died. Yeah, boo. And that little computer thing didn't come and like zap him up. Where's the bus? It's real life

oh no yeah and we also have to walk up the mountain too there's no bus that drops us off yeah you just can't endlessly run

like in the game and not run out of energy FVM the podcast FVM am I a bad person returns we need your help

deciding if someone is a bad person they're in a bit of a a sticky spot a bit of a predicament. A pickle. A bit of a pickle. And, you know, New Zealanders, we love to judge.

So your chance to do that soon. Speaking of someone finding themselves in a little bit of a pickle, what happened yesterday when we got to New Plymouth, I would describe as a pickle. Well, I didn't. So there was a lot of us travelling down yesterday. There was five of us. Yeah. On the plane. there was a lot of us travelling down yesterday. There was five of us on the plane.

We had a lot of bags. So we had our broadcasting equipment. We had our camping, tramping equipment because we're going up the mountain soon, some of us, and our bags. Yeah. And we loaded them onto the trolleys at New Plymouth Airport. The classic, has everybody got everything? To which when you look around, I identify your bags

at that stage, don't you? As long as you can see your luggage. If everyone makes sure they've got theirs, we're sorted. Now look,

I don't want to point fingers, but I'm pretty sure it was James, the producer, or Vaughan that said, yes, everything is here. Let's go.

Speaking for my bags, I said yes, I've got my bags. I've got the two bags and my backpack. Well, I didn't see everyone load up the bags. I just assumed we had two big trolleys. We had everything.

Okay, let's go. It's not like you to assume. God, and so I get to the hotel. I'm like, where's the little wheelie suitcase? I'm like, oh, God, it's at the airport still, isn't it? Where's the little wheelie suitcase? In the meantime, the New Plymouth Air New Zealand ground crew, Kate, Kate and Owen. The two Kates.

We've met the two Kates before, haven't we? Who met us every time we're coming down for a tramp with a box of Air New Zealand goodies. They are messaging the Facebook page that I don't see until this morning, saying, I think one of you guys have left your bag here. Probably about at which the same time they call your dad, because this is your dad's bag. Yeah, I was bringing it back from him. It had his number on it. So they called my dad and dad tells me this last night. He's like, I don't know.

I haven't been to the airport. It's not mine. They call him then, Mr. Fletcher, I've got a bag of yours here. And he just cuts them off. He's like, no, you don't. I haven't been to the airport for ages. See you later. See ya.

He was having a shower. He wanted to get in the shower instead. So he's like, I haven't been to the airport. I haven't got time for it. You know your son is in town and he's got your bag. Put it together.

But in case you've wondered where Fletch gets his Fletchness from, it turns out it's his dad. No time for it. Not mine. Not my problem. Quit bothering me. Basically, yeah.

Yeah. So I rang them up and they were like, yeah, we do have your bag. And so we had to go. Have you ever done that before? No. It's just so unlike you.

I know. You got comfy when you came home. No, because you guys said you had all the bags. So last time, I trust you, I'm doing a full count next time. I didn't say I had all the bags. I said I got my bags. You said all the, I said, are all the bags here? You said yes.

Has everybody got everything, I believe, is what I said. Has everybody got everything? Meaning check that you've got your own stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't know. You're trying to take your friend's word for it, don't you? You know, that they've got your back and they've got your bags.

But not never again. No, it was my fault. I'll take blame. I'll take blame. And all it's going to cost you is these two big eye rolls. It is time now for us to go back at least 10 years. Yes. Day Flashback.

With Friday Flashback, we do this every Friday. We each take a turn at picking a song that is at least 10 years old. Yeah. And normally it's quite hard. You have to go through the charts, maybe. But Vaughan, this came to you in the streets, main streets of West Auckland. That is correct. Yeah.

How long ago was 1968? Oh, we're not playing a song from 1968. That's a long, what is that? 50. 50 years ago. Yeah, okay. 50 years ago. Oh, okay. 50 years ago. Oh, yeah.

That should have been way easier. No, no, it shouldn't have been way easier. It's always confusing when it's in the 60s and it has to jump up into the teens of the next lot. I know, but it's like 18 minus 18. Yeah, no, I knew it was a round number. Ah, yeah. Okay.

So 50 years ago, the song came out in its original form. Okay. I'm guessing we're playing somewhat of a remix. We are, yes. Okay. We're playing another recording of the song that came out in 2002. Okay. 2002.

It was originally used for a Nike ad. Yeah. In 2002. Actually, reading that makes a lot of sense. I can remember it on the Nike ad. Okay. It was for a FIFA World Cup that was happening.

It's a remix of that song from 1968. And I heard this being absolutely cranked by a man in a silver Ford Mondeo in a high-vis reflective coat. He was headed home, still wearing his helmet,

and he had his windows down. He was enjoying some spring evening air. Yeah. It's Elvis Presley and JXL. A little less conversation. I haven't heard this for so long. A little more action.

All right, it's your Friday Flashback ZM. A little more action. All this aggravation ain't satisfaction in me. A little more fun, a little less fun me A little more pride, a little less fun A little less pride, a little more fun Close your mouth and open up your heart It may be satisfying Satisfying, really

A little more pride, a little less fun A little less pride, a little more fun Catch your breath and open up your heart It's a family, it's a family A controversial pick. I enjoyed it, actually. Did you? I was a bit. I mean, it wasn't a huge, huge hit, was it? Yeah, it was.

It got to number two in New Zealand. Did it? Yeah. It got right up there. And it was number one in the States. Massive song of 2002. And as I said before, that just goes out to the guy in the silver Mondeo. Who was franking that as I was sitting outside.

What was the feedback like from listening public? Mixed. At least you know he would have enjoyed it. I hope he was listening. I doubt it, but I hope he was. Somebody messaged in, my dad is jamming to this one. I said, you like this dad? He said he was 20 when this came out and he's pretty sure it was on one of the

CDs he had on the night him and mum made me. So thanks for that worst Friday flashback ever. I was going to say it probably wasn't and now that's what I call music volume something. Every single dance compilation. Yeah. Some other people declaring it an absolute jam. Okay.

A lot of people were inquiring as to what happened to DJ... CXL. J-A-J-C... J-X-L. J-X-L. J-X-L. Yeah. Okay, I can't tell you. I don't have updates

on what that man I know Elvis is dead. Elvis was dead a long time before the song came out. Yeah, yeah. As it so happened. Am I a bad person?

Today we are joined by Anonymous. We're not going to give out a name because the situation will become obvious to the other person involved. So Anonymous has We're not going to give out a name because the situation will become obvious to the other person involved. So Anonymous has reached out to me with a question

and I don't know how to answer this. And you think this would be great for the segment Am I a Bad Person? Yes. So good morning, Anonymous. Morning. Are you ready for some judgment from the nation? Yes, yes, I am.

Okay, do you want to run us through the scenario that you're faced with? Okay, yes. So I've been with my girlfriend now for about two years or so. Yeah. And my predicament is that she hasn't explicitly said that she wants kids, but I kind of get the vibe that she wants them. But I've never really been a fan. Not that

really, but I've never wanted them, I guess. Right. So you know that you don't want to have kids? Yeah, I'm pretty set, and I'm happy with that, not having them, but yeah, she's quite the opposite. Is this a not now or not ever situation

for you? Not ever. Okay. Can I ask, at this point, Vaughn, you've always wanted kids, eh? As long as I've known you. Oh, I wish you, one day I wanted kids. But like, I'm just guessing you're in your 20s? Yep, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I wasn't ready for mine in my early 20s. But I think there's a difference with being not ready and knowing you don't ever... And knowing you don't want them. Yeah, maybe. It's not a case of, like, you're not ready. Right. So your predicament is at some stage it's going to come up

and you haven't lied about it, though. You haven't said to her, oh, yeah, yeah, sure, one day. Yeah, no, there's never been any discussion like that at all. But, yeah, no, I just know that it's going to happen. It's a matter of when. So you want to know if you're a bad person for what, then? Kind of what's stringing her along? Yes, yeah, just not telling her that I'm not a fan, really.

So you want to stay with her, though? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You love her and everything, but... Yeah, it's a bit of a predicament. I don't know. I don't think you're a bad person because you've not had that full-blown conversation yet, right? Yeah, but should I?

Because, I don't know. Should you initiate it? Yeah, will it be a deal-breaker for her? Like, should I just... Maybe....address the elephant? Well, you it be a deal breaker for her? Like, should I just address the elephant? Well, you could be saving your time in the future. If you're going to break up in four years when she wants to, you know, get married and have kids. Yeah.

Why not just get it over and done with now? The thing is, if you know, kind of, you get the vibe that she definitely wants to. And this is already a long term relationship, like two years. How long do you go before you say something? Because girls in their mind, they're thinking marriage and babies. You're thinking, will I marry this guy? Yeah. So she's kind of probably already thinking about it.

I think you should say something. But I don't know. I don't think you're a bad person for wanting to stay with her. Because you love her. Some people could see it as being selfish that you're staying with her. And not saying anything. Because you don't want kids in the future. Like, do you even want to marry her?

Yeah, yeah. I'm 100% yeah, want to marry her. But yeah, it's just... You'd never want kids. Okay. Interesting predicament. I'm sure there would be people in this situation. Yeah.

But then she might be happy to not have them and just be with you because a lot of couples do that. I mean, they do get a lot of questions and have to suffer through a lot of when are you having babies. Yeah, I do know women who don't even want to have kids and that's the choice that they've made in their couple, but yeah, you need to have a conversation.

Alright, so this is how Am I a Bad Person works. 0800 dials at M 9696 is our anonymous caller, a bad person for wanting to stay in a relationship but not wanting to have kids ever with this person

who may very well want to. Yeah, want to have kids. Have you been in this situation where it has been a deal breaker for you and you're just like, well, let's just end it now. Yeah. Because this isn't what I want. Yeah, rather than drag it out.

Yeah, let us know your opinion. Let us know if you've been in this situation. Okay, well, you can text through 9696 0800 dials at M and anonymous caller, thank you for sharing. Yeah. And let's see what the nation thinks. Is he a bad person? Let us know now.

Good luck. FBM. ZM. Am I a bad person? So, am I a bad person? We've just heard from our anonymous caller in a bit of a predicament. He is with a partner whom he loves.

Yep. She has indicated that children are something that she would be interested in at some stage and he is not anti-children. Well, he's been on a plane and heard them, hasn't he? Yeah. That's enough. He's been in a cafe when one has a meltdown

and the parents want, step up and do some parenting. But he's one of these people that knows that he doesn't want to have children. Not even just not now, just not ever. So is he a bad person for wanting to stay in this relationship? I guess selfishly, because he loves her and wants to be with her, but he doesn't want kids. It's not selfish to love someone else. No, but it's kind of selfish to stay in the relationship, string her along. Right.

Knowing that you can't give her what she wants. So, man, we've had some text messages in on this one. Okay. And some really interesting points. Yeah. Somebody said, from a woman who's been on the receiving end of this, sometimes it's just that you don't want to have babies with her. Oh, really?

Because she said, my partner always said, didn't want kids, didn't want kids, didn't want kids. Got engaged. I managed to, you know, I was dealing with it. I think I wanted kids, but, you know, I wanted him more. And nine months in of our marriage, we separated. A few months later, he was with somebody else and she was pregnant and he's got two kids now. So it wasn't so much that he didn't want kids, he just didn't want them with me. Right.

So what would you say most people think he's a bad person? Where are people falling on the... Some people think he's a bad person? Where are people falling on the... Some people said it's a deal breaker. He's not a bad person for that being his choice to not have kids, but he's a bad person if he lets her believe that it's a possibility and it's...

Because part of having a long term relationship is knowing that your futures are aligned. Because if they're not, you're just going to grow apart. It's not going to work. Right? That was deep. Thanks. Very deep. Kelly.

Kelly's on the phone. What do you think, Kelly? Is he a bad person? Oh, it's Shelly. Shelly. Sorry. No, I think he just needs to talk to her. I've been in the female position of this,

and it doesn't end well. So he needs to just tell her now. What happened to you? Did you get strung along? I thought that my partner wanted kids with me. He never told me that otherwise. And always said they wanted kids. And then one day turned around and said that they didn't.

So how much did you feel like you wasted precious years? Exactly. Not wasted. It was just upsetting because it was a long time coming that could have been talked about. And it was more like you're disappointing because you thought that you were going to have this amazing future with this person and have kids. And then, yeah, it just kind of flips your whole world upside down, really. I guess it's because as a society, our default is you get married or you have kids and you stay together. That's the default. So I guess if yours isn't the default,

you need to mention it, right? Well, it's just about being honest. Just being honest in a relationship. And it would definitely come up in conversation. You can be with someone a year or just over a year and that conversation's probably happened at some stage. Yeah, or Caitlin, it's on the first date, isn't it? Yeah.

Thanks, Shelley. Holly, what do you think? Is he a bad person? No, I definitely don't think he's a bad person. He loves her and, you know, they've had a great time together. And it is something that needs to be brought up between the both of them. But I sort of, I wanted to ask him the question, if she was to get pregnant while they were together,

say, I don't know, in the next year or so, if they do stay together, did he think that would ruin their relationship? Oh, that's a great question. I don't know if he's actually thought about it if they end up having a baby together. I don't have him on the line anymore, but that's a great question. Yeah, because it's not always expected or planned, is it? Yeah. But what do you do then? They were not

planned, but I'm the happiest I've ever been. But, I mean, I don't think he actually think about it until it happens. You know, it's one of those things that, yeah, he might not want kids now, he might not want them, he might think he might not want them in the future but if it did happen, it might change things, you know? There's been a few text messages like that as well

that had the conversation and the partner never really wanted kids and then one of them's actually a really cute story. One time he had a couple of drinks and he said to her, he had to admit he's been lying. She was like, oh God, here comes the cheating. and he said to her, he had to admit he's been lying. And she was like, oh God, here comes the cheating. And he said, I've actually been like thinking more about it lately

and I'd really like to be a dad. Oh, that's the cutest thing ever. And she was like, it was a really like cute and happy conversation that they had. All right, thanks. You call Holly. Ruben, what do you reckon?

Is he a bad person? No, I don't think so. But I was thinking about the selfish part, but initially that's what I thought. But I don't think so. But I was thinking about the selfish part, but initially that's what I thought. But I don't think so either. I think it's just quite a hard situation. And, you know, the longer he obviously carries it out, the harder it will be for both of them.

Yeah. Okay, so not a bad person. But needs to be honest. I had initially thought selfish, but from what I've heard, I don't think so either. But I wouldn't want to be in that position myself. You know, I've had that.

I've come close to it, but like him, the conversation hasn't been brought up. Yeah. Right. Okay. The conversation needs to be had. Thanks for your call, Ruben.

Ask him more text messages. Someone said, I've had many friends who have had kids and it's destroyed their relationship. It's put me right off wanting them. It's not easy, is it?

Oh no, it's not easy. Marriage isn't easy in itself though, is it? Yeah, and then chuck a couple of like Fletchers in the mix and it's like really hard. What do you mean?

As kids? Or like as the husband? Well, that's why I was ready for children because I dealt with Fletch. It's actually really good. It's good having a friend that has tantrums and a demanding, selfish friend

because then it prepares you for toddlers. Our other child is irresponsible, gets lost. That's me! Always late. We just prepared each other for life, haven't we? And Megan's that kid that thinks she's one of the parents. You know that kid? Everyone had a sibling that thought they were part of the parental committee.

But they'd be like, Mum, Dad, if I could just have a word about the children. That is me. My brother was that. I hated that. He's like, Mum, Dad, Vaughan and Michelle are just being so irresponsible. It's very annoying. Vaughan's been using the car, and he said he only went somewhere

that would have been 25 kilometres, but there's 80 kilometres on the clock. Who does that? What a nut. Yeah, full-blown nut. You should have shanked him in the shower. I did. All right, Fact of the Day is next.

F-E-M. It's time for... Fact of the Day, Day, Day, Day, Day. Today's Fact of the Day. Thanks, everybody, that came last night, by the way. Oh, yeah, lovely. To the new Plymouth edition. Oh, I think there's a couple of others in the pipe line.

Yeah, we've got a couple planned. I don't want to say in case it doesn't happen, but we do want to get around and get as many people as we can experiencing the fun that is sometimes winning and sometimes losing. The fact of the day. Well, the majority of the time losing, because only one person wins. Like they say with

life, it's the experience, isn't it? It's the journey. And you've loved New Plymouth, Megan. Yeah. She says while she's still in New Plymouth. I meant it to be sincere. I didn't mean it to sound scared. I don't come to your hometown. I mean, I love your hometown, but I live there as well.

It's great. Well, today's fact of the day is about that cute little thing you've definitely seen. Gazelles do this on a nature show. And lambs do it as well. Is it that boing, boing, boing, boing, boing? It's called stotting. Also called

pronking by the locals. Because pronking is the African verb to mean show off or strut. But stotting, it comes from the Scots. Scottish stotting, it means to bounce or walk with a bounce. But it is a behaviour where, yeah, basically animals,

gazelles do it most prominently and get the highest. So it always makes great slow motion footage. Yeah. For nature docos, they spring straight in the air, all four feet off the ground, and their legs are usually straight, back arched and head facing down. Do you know why they do it?

Aerodynamic movement, something? I don't know why. They're not trying to fly. Oh, okay. They have the impression they? Aerodynamic movement, something, I don't know what. They're not trying to fly. Oh, okay. They have the impression they're just going to take off. I don't know. They watch the reindeer do it on all the Christmas movies

so they're giving it a go. Like, get out of my area. Oh, to make themselves appear bigger. No. Oh, okay. Like,

they're looking for sexy time? no, no, because it's always infants. It's predominantly the infant quadrupeds that do it. They need to peer overpeds that do it.

They need to peer over something. They do it. They're learning how to walk. They do it as a sign of telling predators nearby that maybe they can't see. Yeah. They're going to be pretty hard to catch, so you shouldn't even bother. That's what I said, a pair bigger.

Look at me go. And scarier. No, no, no, bigger, just quicker. It's a big, it's a... It's like when you chuck a dummy. It's like when you chuck a dummy. It's like when you chuck a dummy past you. Don't even try, bro. I'm too quick.

And you make that noise. And you get it going. Right, okay. Yeah, because I... Even though they couldn't outrun a predator. Well, not really. They're trying to give the impression that the predator doesn't even need to try. Sometimes they might be able to do it, but sometimes they might not be able to.

Yeah, right. But sheep do it as well. Little lambies. Yeah, like lambs, when they're just standing there, they go crazy and do like big jumps. They think it's just a hangover from when sheep were wild. Because obviously there's not a lot of predators to sheep on a sheep and beef farm. No. I thought they were just doing it for the human's benefit, for cuteness.

Yeah. I thought they were just having fun, like, oh, yeah, I love life. It's a conversion technique as well, because it's pretty hard to sit down to a lamb shank once you've watched them do the cute little thing. Yeah, it is. Bit of mint sauce, bit of gravy will have you back on track. Yep.

In no time. So today's fact of the day is that weird little jump that animals do when you're like, why are they jumping? It's not really achieving anything. It's called stotting, and it's just to show predators they're going to be pretty hard to catch. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. If you're like me, you're not keen on seeing a spider in your house. If I see a spider, I'll put a cup over it and leave it.

Or sometimes I just kind of walk away and pretend I didn't see it because I don't want to deal with it. Didn't you get trapped once in your old dingy flat? So you tease me because you always say it wasn't a white tail, but I used to get heaps of actual white tails because I saw the white bit on the bum in my old house. Yeah. And it was in the doorway,

so I wasn't stepping over that. Unpredictable. They're way more, yeah, they are unpredictable. They're way more common than you think, the old white tail, because I was always quick to say, that's not a white tail.

Yeah, but they don't fly. You can step over them. They're very territorial and super aggressive. Very fast. Ah, right. They're crazy. The trouble is, though, if you leave it and then it's not there anymore. Where'd it go Very fast. Right. That's crazy. The trouble is though, if you leave it

and then it's not there anymore. Way to go. Yeah. Yeah. So there is a study that has pinpointed the time you're most likely to see a spider in your house.

And it's interesting. How did they find this out? Well, the researchers, it's from the University of Gloucestershire. And they had created a free app. It's called Spider In Your House. And so people could track any run-ins with spiders. Okay.

And this was over years. So this evidence is like quite thorough. Right. So basically, if you see a spider in your house, it's most likely to be a male. Right. Most of the spiders you'll see walking around in your house are male. The females are on webs in garages

and in windowsills. So they're trying to collect food. They're nesting up. Yeah. And what are the men doing there? Yes. OTP. Getting horny.

Close, yeah. They're like literally looking, walking around looking for sex. They are literally looking for a mate. They're not looking to attack you in your house. No. They're looking for another spider for some fun. Unless you've got a spider tattoo,

then it could start wildly humping it. Who knows? So, yeah, basically they're walking around in your house because it's a nice place to come out and do that kind of thing. So what time are you most likely to run into them? So you're most likely to see them between 6pm and 9pm. So, dinner time, which is probably the...

Date night. It's time they're going on Tinder dates. They're literally cruising at night looking for a date. Yeah. And the exact, they've pinpointed the exact average time most people see them

is at 7.35pm. You're most likely to see a male spider in your house. Wow. But then also, a lot of people would have been at work during the day with this app. Yeah. So then you're more likely to see them if you're there at night, aren't you? That's true.

Correct. They could be out like wandering during the day and you just didn't see them. Wow. I didn't think you were going to get that specific. I thought you were just going to say time of the year and I was going to say, isn't it like autumn, winter? Because it's getting colder and they come inside. Yeah.

And it was like thorough. There was like 10,000 people recording this test. Wow. Wow. Okay. Yeah. So hide and have a SWAT

from 7.30 to 7.40. Or burn your house down at 7.30. While they're all in it. That'll teach them. Sacrifice. That'll do it. All right, Swipe Mears. That'll teach them. Sacrifice. That'll do it. All right, Swipe Mears

is next on the show. FM. Swipe Mears. Fish, bull, and me. Swipe, swipe,

swipe, swipe, Swipe Mears. It is the time for another edition of Swipe Me, so we learn about someone's bad Tinder, Happn, Bumble, Grindr date. Yeah.

Or any one of those dating apps. And Anonymous joins us on the phone today, which means it's going to be good. It's always good when it's an anonymous caller. Good morning, Anonymous. Morning. All right, so what happened? Let's start at the beginning.

All right, so I was obviously swiping on Tinder and I came across this hot guy. I was like, yeah, he's a bit of me. So I swiped him, matched, and I was like, okay, cool. So we just started chatting. And the next thing he did was ask me to add me on Snapchat, which I was like, oh, okay. I've seen this happen before.

So I was like, you know. I know where this is before. So I was like, you know. I know where this is going. So I agreed. I was like, oh, I could have a bit of fun with this. Like, this could be interesting. So he added me on Snapchat and he did the typical duck boy thing and pretty much asked me for a pic straight away.

I was like, oh, all right. So I was like, okay, I'm going to mess with him. And I just sent him a photo of my face. I was like, here you go. He was like, oh, wow, you're really pretty. But that wasn't really what I was like, okay, I'm going to mess with him. And I just sent him a photo of my face. I was like, here you go. He was like, oh, wow, you're really pretty. But that wasn't really what I was after. Wait, what was he after? Like, come on.

I think we know. Come on, Megan. Boobies. The demnudes. You have to excuse Megan, anonymous caller. She's never had to use a dating app. So she hasn't been. But just one, like, boobie picicked, like, straight up after you matched.

Yeah, pretty much. Oh, no. Dem nerds. Too early for dem nerds. Yeah. So I was like, okay. Anyway, I said, all right, your turn. Let's see what he's going to, like, bring to the table.

Yeah. And he opened my Snap and he, like, took ages to respond. I was like, okay. And then he started typing. And on Snapchat, you can see when someone's typing for ages. Yeah. He was taking a sweet time. I was like, what on earth is he going to say?

And he sent back this long message and he was like, so I don't mind showing you my face, but the thing is I'm not actually the guy in the profile. And I'm like, oh, like oh no oh here we go i'm not actually single but the thing is you already know me creepy music and sort of freaking out like how on earth do i know this person and then he said like we used to know each other a long time ago and so i was just like what the heck and asked for proof that he actually knew me yeah he said he told me what school i'd been to and who some of my friends

were i was like holy crap he actually knows who i am okay so i'm still trying to figure it out i was like so were we friends? What was it? Like, what on earth? Because part of me, if I was in your situation, would really want to know who this is, but at the same time also want to block them and be freaked out. Yeah.

I guess when you're so far down the line and you know that they're not single, I'm like, I wonder if I could out this person. Yeah. Should I tell the girlfriend or what? Okay. So then he dropped the massive bombshell, and he Should I tell the girlfriend or what? Okay. So, um, then he dropped the massive bombshell, and

he's like, the thing is, we actually used to date. And I was like, what? This is an ex-boyfriend of mine. And how many ex-boyfriends do you have? Not that many. And so, I figured it out pretty much straight away. As soon

as he said that, I was like, he is the one person I would know that would do that. And so, yeah, basically I was catfished by my own ex. What was his play like? Well, that's what I said. I said, okay, you're not the guy in the profile. Like, someone's going to figure that out when you go meet up with them. They're going to be like, um, I did not sign up for this. Yeah.

But he was in a relationship. Did he want to meet up or was he just trolling? What's the story? Well, because obviously he knew me and he wasn't like that afraid to like tell me who he was. And the thing was, like absolute crackers, he goes, oh, so would you be keen for some on the DL fun? And I'm like, absolutely not.

I am not a homewrecker. Did you tell his girlfriend? I didn't know her, but I was just like, damn, like, I feel bad for her. Yeah, you need to sort out your life. You got rid of him. Some people are just scum. Yeah,

they are. Hey, we're going to hook you up with a Swipe Me as prize pack and if you are listening and you've got your own Swipe Me, you want to share with us, you can register at ZM Online or just flick us a message on Facebook, FVMZM in the DMs, and we can get that happening.
