Thanks, Anya. Welcome to the show. Good morning. It's Friday. Happy about that. Happy Friday. This news that rugby players will have to cover up at next year's World Cup,

that seems like it's at us. This is aimed at us. What do you mean? Oh, yeah, because we've all got sleeve tattoos, don't we? No, the All Blacks are saying how many of them are, like, tattered up. Oh, yeah. But then same goes for most of the Pacific Island teams. Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, they always have.

Yeah, they want us to overheat. That's it. They want us to wear skivvies. Well, I'm dealing with it coming up soon in today's top six. The top six ways to cover your tattoos if you're off to the Rugby World Cup in Japan. Because it's fans too, isn't it? It's not just players asking fans to cover up as well.

It's absolutely everybody, everybody, everybody, absolutely everybody in the whole wide world. What are you doing? I stopped singing to try and detour you from carrying on. Everybody breathe. Everybody do something. Absolutely everybody. Someone's warming up for Cher tonight, aren't they?

Oh, my God, I can't wait. We were listening to Cher's ABBA covers yesterday in the car, my wife and myself. Yeah. And I hope she's going to do some ABBA covers. She does. Oh, yes. And I looked at the seat list.

No, no, no. Sometimes I don't like to because I like to surprise myself. You like the surprise, don't you? Yeah, the mother-in-law is coming now. Well, you would look because Laura pulled out. She's got a charity thing. I was like, oh, don't you? Yeah, the mother-in-law is coming now. Well, you would look, because Laura pulled out. She's got a charity thing. I was like, oh. Stop being so selfless.

Stop being so nice to people. Doing charity. Nothing good comes from doing charity, does it? You miss out on share. That's what I said. It would have been exactly the opposite. Everything good comes from doing charity. That's what I meant.

That's the very idea of charity. Yeah, that's what I meant. Yeah, that's the one. What's the house of mother-in-law though? Is she a party animal? Oh, yeah. Okay, good.

Oh, my God. Get a couple of vinos in her. Everyone's a party animal. Yeah. She's deaf in one ear though. She'll have to sit facing a specific way. What, like side on?

Yeah. Point the good ear at the stage. Also, I don't feel like this is... I'm going to take some just in case, but is this a concert where I have to take earplugs? Nah, it won't be that loud. No, no, it's fine.

It won't be that loud. Or it'll be extra loud because there'll be oldies there. I know, she's like, I'm going to crank up the volume. Well, they've got to because people are there with only one ear. Yeah, I know. Do you believe in life after love?

People still can't believe we're going to this concert. People thought we were joking. We are not. No. F.E.M. Zed M. Fleeche Warner Megan.

I feel the wheels are falling off the show and it's only nine past six already. Just been teaching the producers how to do a Spongebob laugh. So you go, I made that noise, and then get your finger, put it on your throat, and go up and down. That's how Spongebob laughs.

But you've got to go. All right, children, listen up. It's story time. That's what we do when the songs are playing. That's how the guy actually does it. I watched a tutorial by Tom Kenny, the voice of Scrooge. How much did you watch the tutorial? Okay, headlines.

Story time. I've got three news headlines. We want to make a new pick. One headline. We delve into that news story. Headline one. Police left shaking heads news headlines. One headline. We delve into that news story. Headline one. Police left shaking heads. Policed. Police.

Police left shaking their heads. Headline two. Court upholds breasts. No, because I put the T in there. No, I was like, what's breats? I've just put the S and the T in the wrong place. Court upholds Brits.

And headline three, Scare Bear to be relocated. What was one again? Police left shaking heads. Scare Bear. That's it for me. I'm in for Scare Bear. I'm all in for Scare Bear. All in, he says, and he

pushes a pile of chips. All in. Oh, hang on. I've clicked on the wrong story. Here it is. It's Friday, okay. Look, there were a couple of rosés last night. Alright, we go now to the UK when this webpage

loads. Oh my god. The Welsh government, now they ordered a 10 foot high statue be removed from the side of the A483. I don't know why that is a word. A483? Yeah, that's

like. 8483. No, an A. You know how they have like the M1 and the M2? Yeah. A483. That's a stupid name don't know. A4, A3. That's a stupid name for a road. Let's just have a State Highway 2 or something, like we do. It seems they're getting too many numbers. Yeah.

Chuck another letter in. Well, anyway, this happened. This removal of the landmark was ordered after a crash because Scare Bear was frightening drivers. Can you see the picture of the bear? It's like 10 foot high, there there on the side of the road. So they would come around a corner and think it was an actual bear. Yes. And then like bear away from it.

Yeah. And crash. So it was next to a sign here. So they'd come around the corner. They'd be like, ah, bear. Even though you're in Wales. They'd be like, oh, I'm in Wales. Nothing to worry about down here.

Come around and go, oh, Christ, a bear. Forgetting where they are and that bears don't live there. But then maybe there's an escaped bear. Yeah. Where would a bear have escaped from though?

Bears that big aren't in zoos. And it's also been to the entrance of a now closed wool mill for 15 years. So I guess locals knew it was there.

Right. Tourists. It just took one tourist or one person that didn't know it was there to have an accident. They should have just put a sign up. That would scare me. I get big fights.

Beware of bear. Do not get a scare. And he is just around here. Do not drive over there. Like they have the signs like high accident area. Yeah. Yeah. Or like concealed exits.

Yeah. But you know the problem with a concealed exit sign? What? I start looking for it. And I take my eyes off the road. It's like concealed exit and then there's the corner and the corner's on the sign so you're like, alright and it's just off the left of the sign so you go around

and you're like, look. Oh yep, there it is. And meanwhile I've gone around a corner and I've taken my eye off the road. That's on you. That's on you, yeah. That's really on you. Right. Too distracted by the concealed. But I want to make sure no one's ripping out of the concealed excerpt.

What did they do with the bear? Where did they put it? Well, at the moment, he's just lying on the ground in this photo. Oh, they just pushed him over. That's worse because now they're going to come around the corner and be like, oh, my God, that bear's having a cardiac arrest. They are planning on a fundraising event for the end of the year to relocate them.

But what sort of fundraising do they need? I don't know. What is it made out of? I guess they're saying they're moving it to a field, a park, so I guess they have to fundraise to... They'll put a bear in a field. A bear's more likely to be going rogue in a field. It will freak people out.

They'll be walking through the field. I'd rather be in a car when I saw a bear than on foot. Yeah, that's true. Or a bicycle. But then I guess you're on foot, you can stop for a moment and see it's a concrete statue. Yeah, you're not going to like swerve and crash when you're on foot. That's true. Or you might. It would be

very funny to see. Oh! Just turn too quick, too sharply. F.E.M. Z.E.M. We like to laugh at influencers, especially when they're, like, doing rich things. And this one comes to you from an influencer from Hong Kong.

Was going on a business flight. And, I mean, before we take this too much, if we were going on a business flight, the one time I have, I grammed up the wazoo. Oh yeah, when we went to Dubai for work. Photos, grams, stories, like, look at me, I'm in business class. And we'll pay for your business class somehow, right?

They put you there so you will put pictures there. Well yeah, that's why these influencers get the first class sweets and the... What airline was it? Cathay Pacific. I always feel like I'm... Cathay Pacific. It's hard to go Cathay Pacific. I always feel like I'm... Or Cathay Pacific. It's hard to go Cathay Pacific. No, you saw the news yesterday, eh?

The plane didn't have an air. Cathay Pacific. Cathay Pacific. Pacific. Pacific. Cathay Pacific. So on a Cathay Pacific business class flight, this Instagrammer was, she's got 127,000 followers.

And this looks like a pretty, this looks first class. It's business class, but it's very fancy. Not like a business class like in New Zealand. Right. It looks, yeah, like she's spread out. She's got like her own little area. You can't even see other people. No, it's very fancy.

So she's got her champagne and stuff. Someone's taking a picture of her, but she came prepared because she brought on some fairy lights. So she's sitting down, like with her legs stretched out. She's got a blanket over her. She's like glancing out the window

with her champagne in her hand. And she has put up fairy lights along the windowsill, right down the side, and then all up her legs above the blankets all around her. Because I've seen you can get the battery pack ones, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like they run on little batteries and you can string them up.

They last for ages because of those tiny little LED lights. Yeah. They do. They look like the ones from Kmart. Yeah. If you've got a picture there, can you spin around and show me? Who took the photo to your record? I don't know.

Does she travel with a travel buddy? Oh, piss off. So it's night time. To be honest though, that's a pretty cool photo. No, but the fairy lights are just on her legs on the bed. It looks stupid. Imagine like an actual businessman across the way from her looking across and just be like, oh my God.

What is happening here? There goes the neighbourhood. Like if you put the fairy lights up and around the top maybe, but she's just got them lying on her legs. She's just gone flick, chuck them out. Okay, take the photo. How many followers does she have? 127,000.

Oh, damn it. Like, at this rate, I'll be lucky to influence a Jetstar economy. Space, you know, no bag fair. I could do that. Tame own fairy lights? Yeah, I was going to say, as long as there's fairy lights, you'd look very good with no knee room

but fairy lights. Can you please, next flight you do, because you fly all the time, just in economy, can you just take some fairy lights and wrap them around you? Sure. Yeah, that won't look at all stupid, eh? Nah. It'll look great. It'll look good. Hashtag influencing. There's a house in Wellington for sale that you can purchase,

but you're not allowed to look inside first. I've never heard of this happening. Apparently it happens quite often. Is that because when it's for sale, people don't want the people traipsing through for open homes? No. Is it because the inside's nasty? They've got a dead body?

The outside's very overgrown. So the fact that it might be nasty inside, it might be. I don't know because we're not a little concerned. This apparently happens quite often. I had no idea. In a mortgagee sale, meaning that you've failed to meet your end of the bargain with the contract you signed with the bank to pay back the money you borrowed to buy the house.

Yeah. And so the bank sells your house to recoup their losses. The people can lock the doors and leave and choose not to give the keys and it is illegal to enter their property until the title is signed over to the new owners. Oh, right. So you could peer through the...

No, but you couldn't even go onto their property. That would be trespassing. If they were there and they were noticing. That's so crazy. I know, I had no idea. Because when you're buying a house, you want a building report. You want to check that it's like livable.

You're going to roll the dice. That's what they're saying. You can't get a building report because you can't get access to the parts of the house that the builders need to look at. Does that mean it's cheaper though? Well that generally the rule is that it sells for a little bit cheaper. This one has a rateable

value of $420,000. So that's the rates that you pay on it. That's not how much you pay but that's how much it's worth when it comes to working out how much rates you pay. It's a half a million dollar lucky box gamble. But it's estimated to sell between when it comes to working out how much rates you pay. It's a half a million dollar lucky box gamble. But it's estimated to sell between $575,000 and $650,000 on a home estimate for what houses in the area have been selling for

and everything like that. But that's also not taking into account the fact that it's a big old lucky dip. Oh, that's so. So do you get everything in the house? Like all their furniture belongings? I believe so. Anything that's left... So do you get everything in the house? Like all their furniture, belongings? I believe so. Anything that's left in there, yeah. Because you'd sign it over

and then you kind of take ownership of it and whatever is in it. Yeah, because you know I love storage wars. Even after it came out, it's all rigged. But that mortgagee wars... We got a storage unit this week to put some stuff in. Crying your driver through there, I'm just like, what is in all of these?

Because they've all got locks on them. And in movies, it's always like where they hide people and they kidnap them and make meth and stuff like that. Oh, I hope the unit next to mine isn't making meth. I don't want contamination. In your couch. It'd be exciting if the one way over was doing it. But there was like a smashed car.

Someone's storing a smashed car there. Why? I don't know. Because they're going to get around to it. But there was like a smashed car. Someone's storing a smashed car there. Why? I don't know. Because they're going to get around to it? I don't know. And the wife's like, this is not staying on the front lawn, Kevin. And he's like, fine, I'll get rid of it.

So yeah, this is going to go to auction, this house. Okay. It's listed as a 1930s home that is available for curbside viewing only. But on the 19th of October, if you've got some money in your pocket and a real itch to know what's happening inside, you can buy it. I reckon it'll still sell because it's crazy at the moment. Even at the moment, it's still crazy.

Yeah, Wellington's. If that was a grey lid in Auckland, it'd probably go for like $2 million. People wouldn't care what was, it's just the land. Yeah, but you could open the front door and fall through the 1930s floorboards. Like, great buy. Wow. That's insane.

I want to preface this before we get too crazy and up in arms, that this is in Australia and we need confirmation from someone that this has happened in New Zealand. But at this stage we don't think it has? Is that what you're saying? I'm not unsure. But maybe if it's changed in Australia McDonald's may have changed it in New Zealand.

What's changed? Oh, it's McDonald's. You just put your hand over your mouth. No, no, no. What? If it had changed here there would have already been a story about it. Well, after 26 years, the recipe has changed. So people are shooketh because the apple pie is different. Okay.

I've heard no one. I'm a fan of the apple pie. To be honest, I've never, I haven't had an apple pie at McDonald's for years. Oh, are you kidding? I can't even remember the last time. I have more apple pies than I would burgers. Right. Okay. McDonald's. So we all know remember the last time. I have more apple pies than I would burgers. Right, okay. McDonald's.

So we all know what the recipe was, and people are furious and taking to social media because it's a new baked apple pie. So the difference is the inside is no longer diced. It's sliced. Right. So it slices. So they're bigger pieces of apple.

Oh, so longer, bigger pieces rather than... Longer, bigger, yeah. They had little cubes, didn't they? Little cubes and, like, lots of sauce. Right. So it slices. So they're bigger pieces of apple. Oh, so longer, bigger pieces rather than. Longer, bigger, yeah. They had little cubes, didn't they? Little cubes and like lots of sauce. Yeah. There's more cinnamon, which has divided people. Yeah, I'm pro cinnamon. But not too, you don't want too much.

No, I always want too much cinnamon and stuff. Yeah, so there's more cinnamon. And the top is now like a lattice. So there's more exposing of the filling. So I guess less crust on the outside. Like less pastry. I never considered one the top nor the bottom of the existing apple pie because it was more like an envelope.

Yeah, a hot envelope. But now it's got a definitive top because of the lattice. And the crust is different too. It's made with a different pastry and it's sprinkled with sugar. It used to be like sugar and cinnamon, but now it's just sugar. So that is... But they're saying there's more cinnamon, but there's cinnamon on top. Yeah.

That is going to divide people because it sounds like they've changed it quite drastically. It's dramatic. It's a dramatic difference. Okay. Well, no reports. Have we had correspondents? Producers? Anyone?

Is anyone an apple pie buyer? No Nah Nah McFlurry all the way Oh yeah I have a McFlurry as well Don't they do a chocolate pie now? Apple pie Don't they do a chocolate pie?

I believe I've seen a chocolate pie At my local McDonald's That was always BK's strength Over McDonald's When it came to the dessert option Is they had the Hershey pie The Hershey I think it's the actual apple pie

Like outside but Oh the chocolate on the inside. Oh, that sounds legit. Oh my God. I always just remember the apple pie being hot as lava. Yeah.

Maybe the latisse on the top is a way of letting out Oh, letting out the steam. Letting out the excessive heat. Yeah, maybe. You could literally leave that for four days

open it up and it'd be still crazy hot. Was the old apple pie was it deep fried? Yeah. Yeah, this one's baked. Because when you said baked that's when I old apple pie, was it deep fried? Yeah. Yeah, this one's baked. Because when you said baked,

I was like, no, no, they deep fry it. Yeah, no, it's just baked. Yeah, I don't know. So, I mean, it's probably better for you. Well, it's in Australia this change has happened.

Yeah, that's everybody's main concern when they go to McDonald's and getting dessert. Oh, I hope this is the better for me option. But just a medium thanks watching my waistline.

The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. for me option. But just a medium thanks. Now I'm watching my waistline. Today's top six deals with the fact that the Rugby World Cup happening in Japan. There's going to be lots of people going to Japan. But look, first time visitors to Japan. And they're saying, I don't know if you guys know,

but culturally tattoos, exposed tattoos that you can see in public, not the done thing here. If you are showing people your tattoos in public, chances are you've got ties to the Yakuza, which is Japanese for mongrel mob, isn't it? Yes. Yeah, it is.

Exactly that. So cover them up if you're coming. And so this was initially aimed at players, wasn't it? Yeah, because lots of rugby players have sleeve tattoos. How are half the All Blacks going to cover up a big sleeve tat? Well, these are the top six ways of doing it. They said they will. Number six, thin Lizzie.

Lots of thin Lizzie. Right. What happens when they sweat? Does the thin Lizzie come off? Actually, it might be all right. You want to make them slippery to grab, like a little bit hard to tackle because they'll have a little bit of slippery. And when the Aussies and the English are on the ground,

you just rub your forearm in their face and get all the thin Lizzie in their eye. They're blinded and you score a try. I was thinking tackle them and then in the, you know, the ruck, get your shirt and then rub their thin Lizzie off. And then when they stand up, the yakuza will attack. Okay. Like every other game, are they allowed to rub Vaseline on their arms?

No. I don't think you're allowed to lube yourself up before a game of rugby, are you? Will they catch me? It works against you, Megan, because in the line-out, you've got to lift up one of the tall players. And then you've got to catch the ball as well. Yeah. I see.

Could you imagine a lubed- up Brodie Retallick? Yes. Very hard to lift. I can now. Now that you've put a, what are you doing? I'm trying to lift him in the line out here

but I'm slipping. Right, yeah, yeah, I see, I see. You can see the issue there with lube,

Megha. There you go, one of the many issues of lubing yourself up. Number five on the top six ways to cover up your tats for the Rugby World Cup in Japan, stockings.

Oh, yeah. That's actually legit, though, right? Yeah, you put stockings, they're like a thick stocking that's the same colour as your skin over your arms or legs. I imagine that's what they'll do, like those compression, like have an Adidas sleeve. Yeah. Yeah, they're probably going to get their sponsor

to make them something actually proper. Yeah, and then you have to skin match it and everybody's like, well, I just wanted to look a bit more tan. Could you go a shade darker on the official Adidas arm stockings to cover up my tattoos at the Rugby World Cup 2019? Thanks.

Number four on the list of the top six ways to cover up your tats are cartoon plasters. Oh, yeah. Like have lots of cute little plasters. Do you still have minion plasters? Yeah, only because I've hidden them. Oh, okay. And you're going to Japan you can get like... I can get all sorts

of things. Oh, Hello Kitty plasters? Yeah, that'd be a good plaster. Anime plasters. I would be interested to see in Japan if you could even buy a plaster without a cartoon on it. You're saying the old brown skin tone wouldn't happen? Probably not.

Fair call, fair call. Number three on the list of the top six ways to cover up your tats, skivvies. This is for when you're out in public more than during the games

because they'll be doing some sightseeing as well. Yep. Chuck on a skivvy. Maybe they could dress as the Wiggles. Yep, good. You know, just do a bit

of a Wiggles dress up situation. Yep. And get out in public just do a bit of a Wiggles dress up situation. Yep. And get out in public there in a lovely all purpose any weather skivvy. Yeah, nice.

Number two on the list of the top six ways to cover up your tats in Japan for the Rugby World Cup ninja outfits. Oh yeah. Because while the Yakuza

are frowned upon ninjas are still A-OK. Yeah, nice. In Japanese culture so you can get a full blown ninja suit. Don't want to be in a ruck or a scrum and your sword comes out

of its sheath. Oh, yeah. Leave swords on sidelines. So then can you culturally appropriate ninjas? Well, the thing is your face is covered so they can't even tell if you are Japanese or not. That's true. I mean, Brody Retallick probably doesn't look too Japanese by silhouette just to bring him into the fray again.

Yeah, yeah, okay. But, you know, he'd get away with it. Sure. Okay. As long as he didn't do the accent. Yeah, okay. The accent. Yeah, when you get into dicey territory.

And the number one way to cover up your tattoo for a trip to the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan, full cosplay all the time. Yes. Hello Kitty. Yeah. Pikachu or any of the Pokemon. Oh, yeah. Mario or anybody from Nintendo's world of characters.

Every Dragon Ball Z character ever. Godzilla. The options are endless. This is going to be a great World Cup. It would be a hilarious game of rugby to watch, right? Mario and Luigi versus Wario and Waleji, whatever that guy was called. The bad version.

Anyway, that is today's Top 6. No more sleeps. No more sleeps. No more sleeps. But we, tonight, are going to share. Now, we've mentioned this

as almost like a running joke. And for the last few months on the show, ever since it was announced, people thought we were joking. Like, oh man, she's got so many bangers. I know, this was my, I think this is the only concert I'm going to this year.

Oh, Friday Jams, but I expect to pay nothing for that as I am a staff member. If I had to pay, I'd be like, well, Ross, it's a Sunday is all. But I think this is the only concert I'm going to this year. Right. Okay.

Because you don't really do concerts. You don't go out. I find that loud. There's artists that I really would like to see in concert. Yeah. But they're still quite loud. Who are these artists that you really would like to see? I loved Miley.

She was fantastic. I know you did. We had a show outing tonight. And then you were so upset because there were no t-shirts, Miley merch t-shirts for you. I know. To be fair, that's mean. A male's large.

But that shan't be an issue this evening, my friend. Look, Sade, my wife's very excited about Shure as well. In case you thought me going to Shure was like my coming out at, shut up. My wife's very excited about Cher as well. In case you thought me going to Cher was like my coming out at my middle age after my wife left me. No, we're still together. She's like, have you seen the merch? Because we're getting some merch. I was like, I like where your head's at.

What have we got option wise? And she showed me all this amazing merchandise. Oh, yeah. You can get a ring, Fletch. That says Cher. Cher. What does that T-shirt say? Dark Lady. Okay. I could wear that. You can get a ring fletch that says Shur. Shur. What does that T-shirt say?

Dark Lady. Okay. I could wear that. I like that. You could wear that. I like, this is my favourite one. It's like this retro when Shur was probably still in her 40s. Is that her bum?

Yeah, it's her bum. Oh, yeah. Okay. She's amazing, eh? Yeah. Phenomenal woman. So people, we've like been talking about it. A lot of people have said

I thought you were joking No they're not They're really really not And this is what we wanted to bring up now And take some calls on The concerts or shows that people can't believe you've gone to Because do you guys find concerts are great for people watching? You're like how does that person

Like how is that person here? You look at some people like They might be like You how does that person, like, how is that person here? Oh, yeah. You look at some people, like, they might be like, you might be at, like, a typical young concert, and you see, like, some old mate, and you're like, they are loving the show more than anyone here. Yeah.

And you're just like, that is so cool. Yeah. Because, I mean, there's no set age for an artist, is there? No, like that old dude at the pink concert I went to who got real lit and had to be taken out. He got mega lit. Was he older than your dad? He probably would have been similar age. That's like my dad getting escorted out because he was a little bit wasted.

And your dad loved Pink and he's not the kind of person I would have expected to see at a Pink concert. And I imagine you're going to see a broad spectrum at Shear tonight. But I had that when I went to Michael Bublé and I will not have a bad word said about him. I'd go to Bublé as well. He was... He's a showman. Spectacular.

It was like a stand-up comedy show plus like a great just... Right. Why are you looking at me like that? I don't know. It's just weird. I wouldn't go. Speaking of which,

he must be getting ready to crawl out of his cave with Christmas approaching. Must be time for another Bublé album. I've got that Christmas approaching. It must be time for another Booblay album. I've got that Christmas album. That's a great Christmas album. I thrashed that at Christmas. That's a great Christmas album. But yeah, people were like, you're actually going to that.

I paid good money. Paid good money to see the boobs. To see the boob, yeah. Were you like the youngest person there? No. Thank you. At the boobs? Oh my God, thank you.

Did you see what I did there? Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so. Because he's universal appeal. He does have a tendency to lean towards mums. So there was a lot of mums, but he had a universal appeal. Right. I went to Robbie Williams. When?

At the height of Robbie Williams? Oh, like it was my brother was 2001. Oh, but that's, I mean, that was Robbie Williams, but I was a brother was... So 2001. Oh, but that's... That was Robbie Williams, but I was a fish out of water there. That was the concert where I got punched in the back of the head by a middle-aged woman. Did you deserve it? I would say the crowd was predominantly...

Mums. Mums. Yep. At Robbie Williams. Why did they punch you in the head? Well, I was like... Because I was used to going to concerts at that stage. Big day out.

Big day out. And if you wanted to get to the front, it was just get like, because I was used to going to concerts at that stage. Big day out. Big day out. And if you wanted to get to the front, it was just get your elbows in and like swung. Yeah, mosh pads. So I said to my brother, like, why don't we- Did you and your brother go? Yeah. Just the two of you? Yeah.

Okay. It was probably the most brotherly thing we've ever done together. Yeah. Going to the Robbie concert. He was, he loved Robbie Williams, still does. And so I'm like, follow me. And so we're getting in the elbows, and this woman's like, yeah, little prick.

Boom. Prick. And I was like, ugh. Have you ever been hit? It was like, I was king hit. You know, they talk about king hits in the news. Yeah. And they're always like, the young man was in his 20s with gang affiliations.

I was king hit by a woman in her 40s with knitting group associations. She wasn't mucking around. That was one of the hardest punches I've ever received. Okay, we want to take your calls now. 0800-DARLS-IT-M 9696. What concert can't people believe you went to? F.A.M. At the heart of this is stereotyping, really.

Oh my God. It is. We will not be pigeonholed. We will not be put in a hole. I won't be cubbyholed. I won't be pigeonholed. I won't be potholed. I won't be manholed.

I might be manholed tonight at Cher. Who knows? So people can't believe that Vaughn and I are going to Cher. They're like, we thought you were joking. But we are not joking. And we want to know from you what concert people can't believe you went to. And it is stereotyping. Just like last week when your dad came for Pink.

And he loved it. And everyone's like, oh, that's cute. Yeah. A massive fan. But again, it doesn't fit the mold of the typical fan. No. Some text messages in on this subject. I haven't been yet.

But none of my mates can believe I'm going to Shania Twain, but they can all suck it because I can't wait. I love... Man, a female rock woman. I love him. Yeah. You do it.

You get in there. Somebody said, when I was a 16-year-old male, I went to Ronan Keating. I drove from Auckland to Wellington to see him. 90% of the audience were grannies. 9.9% were the hobbies of grannies that didn't want to be there. And 0.1% were me and my mate.

Great concert. Wonderful performer. That is so great. All right, we'll take some calls. Matt, what concert can't believe, people can't believe you went to? Adele. Adele. Yeah, normally it wouldn't sound too crazy, but myself, quite a big lad.

Okay. Just one of my good mates. He's bogan, bearded, wears a hat and sunnies all year round. I've got a picture of him in my mind. I've got a picture of him too. We all know him. We all know one. Yeah, it was just us two lads went, and it was brilliant.

I love that. That Adele show, and I remember saying it after the show and even before, that you are never going to go to a concert like that in your life again. That wasle show, and I remember saying it after the show and even before, that you are never going to go to a concert like that in your life again. That was amazing from start to finish. Absolutely amazing. I was going to say, when you were talking about the guy with the shades on, was he crying behind the shades?

Oh, he said he wasn't, but I just had to wipe the eyeballs a few times. Do you sing along? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love it, Matt. That's so cool. Especially at the start. How good was sing along? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I love it, Matt. That's so cool. Especially at the start. How good was that opening?

If only we hadn't given your mother and all the share ticket. Matt, would have been great to go in. Hey, if anyone pulls out, guys, let me know. Are you a member of the share? All right, thanks for your call, Matt. Bo, what concert did you go to when people couldn't believe it?

Hey, I was like seven years old and I went with my family to the Jimmy Barnes concert. Oh. I was like right in the mosh, right in front of the stage. I was sitting on my dad's shoulders. And there was like this little blonde girl in the middle of like all these people. And I knew every lyric to every song. Okay, both finish this sentence.

Whoa. He's a working class man. Is it because Okay Bo Finish this sentence Whoa Is it working Classmate It like kind of cut out As you sang it Oh No Damn Okay

Is it because you grew up though And dad was a huge fan So you just had to listen Oh yeah totally And he like Yeah so he's actually Passed away now But every time I hear Jimmy Barnes,

it just reminds me of him, yeah. Oh, good times. You'll always have Jimmy. Yeah, totally. You will, you will. All right, both, thanks for your cool, some text messages. Other people going to concerts where people couldn't believe it. My family couldn't believe I was going solo

to the Harry Styles concert. I'm in my 40s, but I had a great time. That's the thing. You do you, eh? Yeah, you do you. Taylor Swift's Red Tour was phenomenal. Sorry to the group of teens that I pushed past in an attempt to get to the front.

I'm the only late 30s who wanted to rage till I knew you were trouble. So good. At 25, I went to a Neil Diamond concert. The looks I got from the audience members were like, are you okay?

Are you meant to be here? He's in the right place. Yeah. So many people go to concerts. When I was 23, I went to a Kenny Rogers concert. Oh, wow. Easily the youngest person there, but man, I had a good time. My dad has been to the Backstreet Boys both times I've been to New Zealand.

Huge Backstreet Boys fan there. He's a great, great showman. I've been to Tom Jones gigs four times. The first time when I was 18. God, I loved it. It was so good. Not unusual. I wouldn't go to that.

I feel like that'd be fun. I went to Metallica in Christchurch. This is a guy that's text messaged us in, so that's not too surprising. No. But I was sitting beside a lady who was 87 years old. We talked about Metallica all night before they started playing, and during the Metallica song Battery,

she even threw up the horns and did some headbanging. Wow. 87. That's older than my nan is now. I can't imagine Marlene Rocking out to Enter Sandman But even if she was listening to them When they first started

She would have been still 60 Because how long have they been around? 30 years? Yeah and when did they come? It was a few years ago So yeah she would have been That is crazy She would have been like an old bloody

Old shazza What's this new band? I bloody like this. You're pigeonholing her. Got a bit of guitar to it. No, she definitely loves a rollie and a shandy. Yeah. Or a port.

Shandy bourbon. I'd say she'd be straight on the... Yeah. Straight on the boobs. So many people. So don't let... Do not let yourself be pigeonholed. And Monday, please wear your Cher t-shirt.

Oh, 100%. Are you actually buying a sheer t-shirt. Oh, 100%. Are you actually buying a sheer t-shirt? Yes, I am. This is so great. I just hope they've got the full range. It would make my day

if there's a raglan because you know merch tees are often in raglans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember my dad is like a sheer raglan. Is your friend Ellie

working there today? She is, yeah. Does she know about merch? Maybe. I think it opens early, too. You could go early to make sure you avoid disappointment. Okay, that's a great idea. Do you want me to ask if she can put something on hold for you?

If she could just let me know what the options are. Okay. So I can find a bit of a plan. You know when something happens with a product and they do like a serious recall? Like, please, we're recalling this product for these reasons. It's been a while. There was a website, wasn't there?

It was on consumers. It was the active. I think I bookmarked that. It's been a while since there have been some metal shards in some food. Yeah. Well, only in New Zealand. Australia's in the grasp of an issue of metal shards in food. Well, this is a beverage, a New Zealand beverage.

Max non-alcoholic ginger beer. They have concerns after some bottles have accidentally been filled with beer. Actual beer. Actual beer. With alcohol.

So they obviously do the ginger beer, non-alcoholic, and the beer, the Max beer in the same factory. Yeah, yeah. Right, okay.

Wow. So these are the batches with the best before date of March 20 or 21 next year. So it says false labelling. So they must have put ginger beer labels on like Max Gold or something. Could imagine if you were like two years sober or something. Or like 20 years sober. I had not considered that. You go to a party, you're like, well, I'll drink my ginger beer while everyone's drinking their beers.

I thought about that. And you take one sip, you're like, start the clock again. No, that's not fair. Like, you can't count that. No. I was thinking, like, more on the fun side of things. Oh, yeah, like if you're at high school and you're not 18 yet and you're just like, let's go buy all the ginger beer and see if there's any beer in it. Yeah, whoopsies.

Wow. Yeah. So apparently they've been notified of a couple of bottles of this happening, but they have to recall because obviously it's mislabeled and it's alcohol when they're selling it is not alcohol.

I'm sure by now that'll all be off the shelves anyway, won't it? But if you do have any, what were the dates? The March 20 or 21 next year, 2019. Okay. And that's the max non-alcoholic ginger beer.

Are you making notes? What's this? Swivel mount self-retracting lifeline. That sounds important, hey? Well, there's a product recall because apparently it doesn't self-retract. But it looks like, I don't know if it's, it looks like abseiling equipment. Oh, wow. That's a pretty big recall issue, isn't it?

So you're on the website with all the recalls in New Zealand. I'm looking down and most of them are just like under-cleared gluten products. And you're kind of like, well, that'll flush them out. But look at that. What is that? And the problem is that it doesn't recall. It actually says the product default could lead to serious injury or death.

Oh, okay. Wow. I don't know if anyone's about to head off abseiling for the weekend, given that it's spring, you know, and the weather's finding up a little bit, but just check the equipment. FVM, the podcast. The University of Otago have a few studies that are intergenerational. They've got studies that have been running.

I think there's a study that's been running since the 50s. Was that when they check in with them every few years? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like this because they seem so thorough. I know. If it's long running, it's thorough. And I get bored with stuff like five minutes into it. So I don't know how these guys are doing it. There's admiration for their

ongoing. See, I'm getting bored with myself talking. I might only been talking for 20 seconds. You started a sentence. I'm like, research or something. Meh. So they've studied and found that 15-year-olds now, compared to when their parents were 15, are significantly heavier and have a lower aerobic capacity,

meaning their fitness is not nearly as fit as their parents were at the same age. And not how much though. A couple of kgs? Not a couple of kgs. Averaging between 8 to 13 kgs heavier than their parents were. Now this isn't just a New Zealand thing. Worldwide, 15 year olds now are significantly heavier and less fit than their parents were at the same age. But with our obesity rates and childhood obesity, you'd say that it's here, that it's a thing here. Yeah.

Especially for us. Yes. Yeah. But also like lots of fun things to do inside. So much to do inside nowadays. Lots of fun things to do on your bum. You don't even need to get off your bum to have fun. Yeah.

That's the problem. Or even socialise. I can sit on my bum and bum to have fun. Yeah. That's the problem. Or even socialise. I can sit on my bum and socialise. Yeah. That's quite a lot. That's quite heavier, isn't it?

Oh yeah. I'm heavier than my dad but I'm also like bigger than my dad. Like I'm taller than my dad. Do you know what I hate is people like,

everyone's like, your mum is so tiny. I'm like, yeah, isn't she? Your mum is tiny. She's got like, yeah, isn't she? Your mum is tiny. She's got like, yeah, tiny little legs. She's so little.

I'm like, yeah, I can't fit any of her clothes. I don't even remember being able to. When I was 10, I wore her jeans. Because what did they imagine your mum was based on only having seen you? Based on me. They imagine your mum walks in, she's like. Okay, thanks. Don't care.

They're imagining your mum's shred. Yeah thanks don't care I'm imagining your mum's Shrek yeah don't care what we're doing today that would be oh I hope no one imagines my mum

looks like Shrek no your mum's wonderful if anything it's a surprise as well how beautiful she is I know

they're like this is yours he came from you okay what does his father look like? No, he doesn't look like that either. What happened? So, yeah, they're just saying that they've studied 125 pairs of mothers and daughters

and 110 pairs of fathers and sons, and it's consistent across the board. Wow. God damn it. That's bad news. That's such a painful study. But you think about, yeah, I did a calculation. So my dad was my age now in 1992. Yep.

And I remember, so I would have been 10. And I remember him like cycling all the time. Well, my dad's got a physical job. He's a farmer. Yeah, yeah. Whereas I've got a sit-down job. Like I'm standing up right now and crikey, I'm exhausted. But yeah, he's always been

Well you did your water blasting yesterday for six hours and you got a sore back. But that's my water blasters fault. Right. And then people, because I put a video up of my wife water blasting and everyone's like, look at her. I'm like, she did literally one strip for a video and then she was like I don't want to do this anymore. She did it for the

gram. So I did, yeah, like and then people were sending me videos of their awesome waterblasters doing like a really good job. And I was like, look, I've got a little bungy waterblaster. I don't need to see everybody's great water. How much a waterblaster is going to be the one? I'm definitely going to get a new waterblaster. Don't any people waterblast shame you?

Oh, no, they totally waterblast shamed me. My dad's got a better waterblaster than me too. So there you go, skinnier than me. And he's got a better waterblaster. What's it got to do, you know? i use a water blaster once every two years why can't i have the best one on the market that is yeah good point actually that's also this generation i never use anything i'm thinking about using something i better spend a lot of money on it i need the best one yeah yeah use yeah, yeah. Use it once.

I'm just going to put that in the garage. It's time for a new segment on the show. We're thinking this is ongoing because there's at least one example of this a week. Okay. Because do we want origins of how this came up before we get into it? Sure.

So we're talking about what we did yesterday. Yep. Because Fletch, Caitlin and James went to a company party. Yep. Caitlin and James got pretty a company party. Caitlin and James got pretty lit up. That's why James, what time did you get to work? Pretty lit up.

You just say lit. Oh, do you? Okay, so the kids got lit. Pretty lit up. James arrived at like three minutes to six. And his voice. Listen to his voice.

It was before the show though. That's all it was. Before the show. His voice is deeper than that. Deeper than you. A little bit more crackly. I just snuck off after drinks here and then got a gold Kit Kat on the way home and ate all of that.

A gold Kit Kat. I was so young. It was a top notch. And then Megan, you went to a school play. Yeah, I watched my nephew in his first school production. And so this is where it starts going downhill a little bit. Oh, don't say downhill. It was the cutest thing ever.

From the dizzying heights of the kids getting lit up, Fletch sneaks off, you go to a school play, I spent six hours water blasting, and what Anna told us leads to our new segment. And nothing, Anna. You are the world's oldest millenn Anna. Guys.

You are the world's oldest millennial. Yeah. You are an old person trapped in a millennial's body. Nah, I'm young and cool. And I'm down with the kids. Rather than go, because you're 22, right? So you're in like partying prime. You're supposed to go out on a Thursday night, bounce back,

hit Friday night, do Saturday night, binge about it till Wednesday and then do it all over again. Oh, that's normally me. Yeah, definitely. I took just a short sabbatical yesterday. When the kids go to the zoo, they're like, let's go and see the party animal. And they get to the enclosure and there's you.

Hello, here I am. So what did you do last night rather than get drunk at the company party? I went to Briscoe's 60% off sale. Yeah. And shit, it was a good time. What time did you go? Well, I picked my boyfriend up from the work party. Oh, you drank?

I didn't know that detail. Here you pull up, beep, beep, beep, party time's over. If you want to come home now, if you want to ride home, you're coming now. Okay, well, here's the thing. So I was umming and ahhing about going to this party all day. I was like, I was retired. Had a nap and woke up at like quarter past five. I was like, look, I've missed it now.

You catch an episode of Coronation Street. It started at four. At quarter past five, you hadn't missed look, I've missed it now. You catch an episode of Coronation Street. It started at four. At quarter past five, you hadn't missed it. Oh, the traffic would have been bananas. I just couldn't possibly do it. Well, she stayed around and watched Emmerdale Farm. Well, then I was watching the six o'clock news. Oh, my God.

And then, because it's free-to-air TV, I had to endure the ad break. And then, oh, my God. Yes, yes, yes. Said like a true millennial. Yeah. And then I saw this heck of a sale down at Briscoe's. Wait, so you saw it on a commercial on television?

Yes, and I thought, oh, gosh, I better get down to you. Are you telling me TV advertising works? It does. And it was only on till 9 o'clock. So I texted Andy. I was like, listen up, Sonny Jim. If you want to be picked up and sober driven, you get your skates on and then i went and picked up and i was like well we've got a little bit of a treat we're gonna make a little pit stop on the way home

many drinks yeah whopper burger you're right. I was like, well, hold on. One little stop before then, and I went and got a great new pillow, some cushions. What else did I get? Oh, a little diffuser. Mama went to town. One of those rails beside the toilet with your little help up.

Yeah, an extra little potty. A grip mat for the bottom of the bath so you don't have a slip. Did he wait in the car or did he go in with you? Well, he was going to and then I was like, come on, you might find some bargains. And then I managed to talk him into a pillow too. It's 60% off, you'd be mad not to buy two.

What a sale, how could I pass it up? There is nothing more important than a 60% off store-wide sale. I don't think it was up to. It's up to 60% off, isn't it? Yeah, but I'll tell you what, the majority of things were up there in the 50s and 60s. I nearly posted about it on social media.

Like, guys, get down. Come on. I don't know if you know, but Briscoe's is having a sale. Shop horror. The deals were sensational. I couldn't pass it up. Wow. Okay, this is why I couldn't pass it up. Wow. Okay.

This is why we've got the new segment. Anna the Nana. Anna the Nana. Join us next time. When Nana nods off just after lunch. And wakes up at bus four. And goes to bingo. Friday Flashback.

Alright, it's time for Friday Flashback. This is a Friday tradition. We go back and play you an old banger. We don't normally go back as far as this. This is 1998. There's a reason for this, okay? I need everyone to be on board because I might get in trouble from Ross, although he's still sleeping because he had a big night last night,

which is making this easier for me. So 1998, this is an upbeat dance pop song with love at the heart of it. If we're talking about a good era for upbeat pop dance pop songs, like the late 90s were pretty bloody good.

A lot of bangers. This is a banger because I tried to go through where it's been number one. It would be easier for me to go through where it's been number one. It would be easier for me to tell you where it wasn't number one. Okay. Of what? Music charted countries.

Yeah. So on Wikipedia you know when it's like it gives you like a chart list down the bottom. There's five places it wasn't number one. Okay.

Tell us these five places. Austria it was number two. Canada it was number two. Finland six. Iceland five.

Poland two. So it was pretty much number one everywhere in the world. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, this is... I've got no clue. Give us another clue. It's topical.

And it was also in a movie. Okay. I'm going to play you... Well, it was covered in a movie, shall we say. Okay. So, from the movie The Land of the Lost, which. Yes, yes, yes. I'm on board with this.

Which otherwise the movie was pretty average. Can we agree? Except for this one moment. I will say this movie, this Will Ferrell. That was with Will Ferrell, Danny McBride. Yeah. It is worth watching this horrible, crappy movie for this one scene. So it's covered by Danny McBride.

And this is a wee snippet of it. It vibrates. I wouldn't touch that, all right? Do you believe in love and love? That is so dumb and childish. Do you believe in love and love? I can feel something inside me, sir. I really don't think it's too long Ross is awake.

He's just messaged the group. FFS. Well, this will teach you to drink on a Thursday, Ross. The boys are going to see her tonight so to celebrate. Yes! You can't argue with this. It was number one everywhere. We need it

every now and then. This is such a drag. Enjoy New Zealand. Share belief. It's your Friday flashback. ZM. No matter how hard I try You keep pushing me aside And I can't break through

There's no talking to you You keep pushing me aside and I can't break through. There's no talking to you. It's so sad that you're leaving. It takes time to believe it. But after all is said and done, you're going to be the lonely one. Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me say I really don't think you're strong enough, no Do you believe in life after love?

At Share Believe, your Friday flashback on ZM. Number one in New Zealand in what, 98, 99? 98, yep. Wasn't it? And of course playing tonight, and we did talk about this earlier in the show. People thought we were joking, but Vaughn and I are going tonight.

That's what somebody writes. It's a great song. Fantastic choice.

I'm pumped for the work day. Great. Somebody said, I'd actually be happy to hear this every morning at quarter to eight. It's like you're on a smartphone, you can make it an alarm. No, they want us to play it every morning

at quarter to eight. Oh, I'm happy to do that. It's going to be a great public service. Happy to make that happen. Yeah, it would. Yeah, 100% positive for you. Apparently that is a family bar banger. The amount of times I've seen the gays go wild

on a good night out when this one comes on. Absolute anthem, best flashback. The gays and Vaughn. Yeah. Okay, I want to talk about Life360. It's an app. I actually have this app on my phone. Okay, what does it do?

Because it's a tracking app. So you have to get the other person to agree. So it's like an iPhone has on Find My Friends, doesn't it? Yeah. There are a few of these apps. And your friend Ellie was just touring all around Europe by herself, so you wanted to know where she was. Oh, yeah, but we had it before that.

No? No. Sorry. No? No. Don't you silly her? But why don't you just use, find my friends, find friends on the iPhone's built-in app.

Oh, I don't know. Maybe this has extra features. Oh, yeah, maybe it does have extra features. I can like zoom in and tell exactly where she is. I can tell how much battery she's got on her phone because every now and then I'll get a message saying, please charge your phone. Because I remember, was it when she was over there,

she was going on a date? Can I say this? Or was she going out and you were worried? You were like, well, I'm going to keep a dab on her. Oh, yeah, because she was going on a date. Can I say this? Or was she going out and you were worried? You were like, well, I'm going to keep a dab on her. Oh, yeah, because I was going on a date. No, it was like late at night

and she'd like pashed a boy and I was like, oh, do her parents listen? Oh, well. Too late now. We've said it. I think we lost the conservative Christians

with all the gay banter around Cher, to be honest. It was very late at night and I was like, um, okay, I need to keep tabs because I said, are you getting home all right? She didn't text me back. So I was like, okay, I need to keep tabs because I said, are you getting home all right?

She didn't text me back. So I was like, okay, I'll just watch where she is. You want to follow all of us and I don't like to have a problem with that. You know, old producer James, he left over two years ago. I've still got him on Fine Friends. Every now and then I tap in and see how he's going. I get worried about the little fella. Actually, Ellie's at home.

Should she not be at work? It's ten past eight. No, she's working late tonight. This is why I don't want Vaughn knowing where I am, because you'd be like, what are you doing here? I've noticed you haven't moved for two hours. Yeah. I don't need that.

James is 18,000 kilometres away at his home in South London. Wow. It's just good to know he's there. It's good to know, yeah. Okay. Good to know that he's okay. So the reason we talk about Life360 specifically is because Jamie Oliver has admitted that he uses the app to track, yeah. Okay. Good to know that he's okay. So the reason we talk about Life360 specifically is because Jamie Oliver has admitted

that he uses the app to track his daughters. Are they young? Are they teenage? How old are they? Well, 16 and 15. Okay. I imagine that would be a you're not getting this phone unless I can track you kind of deal.

100%. Are you going to do this when your daughters are old enough to have a phone? Yes. Yep. Starting them early. There's these watches coming out for kids. Yeah. And you connect it to your phone plan.

Yep. And it's like a fun thing. You can send them like a little smiley face and then they can push a button and send your smiley face back or like a sad face. Oh, okay. If they're having a bad time.

Right. I'd mess with you and just put sad faces. But then I'm going to arrive. What's happening? Why are you sad? And all of a sudden be like, you didn't give me enough pocket money for movies. Wait, you're a kindergartner.

I take you to the movies. I ran all the way here and I got the stitch like that time I was singing to Cher. But some parenting people are saying that it could cause future problems. Oh, I've just remembered the Black Mirror episode. Which one? But some parenting people are saying that it could cause future problems. Oh, I've just remembered the Black Mirror episode. Which one? Wasn't that tracking where she had... Oh! What happened in that episode?

She knew she could see what her daughter was seeing. That's right. In that Black Mirror episode. She had a chip implanted in her and just never took it out. That was like next level. That was. But I imagine that's probably where it's heading. That's where we're going.

Most episodes of Black Mirror seem to be coming to fruition, sadly. But yeah, that seems normal to me. I'd track as many people that would let me. But yeah, people are saying it could cause problems in the future. Snapchat, when it updated, and it kind of did one of those big long things, hey, you better read this. And I'm like, yeah, right, app. Yeah.

Accept. And then unless you change your privacy settings, when you went to that map, you can see people that you followed that followed you. Because I'll accidentally click on the map because you know how sometimes this goes into the map. Yeah, when you pinch out on a photo. It's surprising how many people leave that open.

Yeah. Or leave that kind of their position on the map because people could creep on you. Yeah. Yeah. They could find you. But they're saying like kids will feel spied on.

They're not going to feel like it's okay to make mistakes. Also it like brings in trust issues. Yeah. Right. Okay.

Children can't be trusted. Would partners do this? Do you think? Well, I don't actually do it with my partner. Oh, you should. He's a child

and he can't be trusted. See my statement 20 seconds ago. He's with me most of the time. Plus, like, it brings into, like, trust issues. He knows better, is what you're saying. He bloody knows better. And plus, you've already got that tracker installed in his car.

Yes, I don't need to double up. And you microchipped him when you got the dog done. So, you know, if he gets lost, they just scan him at the SPCA and they'll be in touch. Can we take some calls? Is there anyone out there who is tracking their partner? Or maybe as like a teenager, your parents, or even now. They're tracking you.

You've left home, they track you. Like who is using these tracking apps? Caitlin, is your mum tracking you? This feels like a Mama Jane initiative. That she'd want to know where you are. I'm really hoping she's not listening right now. Because if she can figure it out, she would. I'm a messenger. No, no, don't because last

night she saw that I was on Facebook late and she's like, you're supposed to be in bed. And I wouldn't be surprised if she messaged Ellie and asked where I was. And like, she can't go to bed until I go to bed, even though we're in like different cities. That's weird. Nah, I mean, yeah, oh, I don't know why I just said that.

When I get these girls these watches, do you want me to get three? No. Mama Jane does not need to know what I get up to. She sends you a little question mark. You're like, drunk face. She's like, angry face. 0800DilesAtHim9696,

are you using a tracking app with friends or the partner? Jamie Oliver's tracking his teenage daughters. Good on him. That's a pre-warning to my daughters who are listening And not yet teenagers But know you will be tracked Whether you like it or not I'll put that chip in them that they have You know when they're trying to find people in avalanches?

Just so I can walk around with that thing And it'll be like Those are actually quite large transponders You have to strap to your chest or your side Okay You're leaving the house without your avalanche transponder Now go and get it Actually, quite large transponders you have to strap to your chest or your side. Okay. You're leaving the house with that dravalanche transponder. Now go and get it.

It'll be small by the time they're teenagers. Oh, you're true. Okay. So we want to know who you're tracking and for what purpose. Or if you're being tracked. Yeah. Because a lot of partners and people have this kind of agreement. Yeah.

Lots of text messages in of professional reasons. Now, I really like this. People whose partners are drivers or drive a lot of distance. Truck drivers, for reasons. Now, I really like this. People whose partners are drivers or drive a lot of distance. Truck drivers, for example. Oh, yeah. They want to know where they are, where they last were

because these apps, this is Live360, it'll say where they last were if they go out of range. Yeah. And then how long ago it was so they can expect them to come back in

to range truck drivers, couriers, that sort of thing. If there's an accident in the middle of nowhere, they drive off the road, they can kind of... Or if they get an alert that there's been an accident in the middle of nowhere, they drive off the road, they can kind of... Or if they get an alert that there's been an accident

and then they can look where their partner was before they call them and freak them out, that sort of thing. So for professional reasons, then there's this text message. My partner likes to drink to the point of oblivion. There's been multiple times where he's fallen asleep in a bush and it's taken me hours to find him. So I have to have the tracking device on so I know which bush he's asleep in.

Assuming he hasn't lost his cell phone. So rather than asking him to deal with his problem with horrendous binge drinking, it's just easy to tag him like a great white shark. Anonymous has called through. Hello, Anonymous. Hi. Now you were tracked by your ex? Yes.

So what happened? My phone that I had just went missing overnight and the next day or two he had bought me a brand new phone and put the tracking on it before I even got to open it. Wow. Wow. That's great. So what, he installed an app or something? Yeah, it was an app. So he received like all my texts.

Oh wait, so he was seeing the whole shebang. Yeah. Stored an app or something? Yeah, it was an app. So he received like all my texts. Oh, wait. So he was seeing the whole shebang. Yeah. That's illegal, right? That's like spyware. Well, we knew someone at the time that had done it to her partner and found out that he was cheating. And it was an app.

And you just received all their texts that they get. But why was he? Did he have any grounds for suspicion or was he just? No, he was just really insecure and had trust issues. Wow. Yeah.

Wow. And so when you, how did you find out that he'd installed this on your phone? Well, something was just odd, like, you know, I just sensed something didn't seem right. Like, he was acting different and yeah.

And did you end up dumb? Were you just like, see you later? You're crazy? Yeah, well, we didn't work that. Yeah, probably if he's installing spyware on your phone, that's probably not going to last, is it? All right, hey, thanks. You're cool.

Brittany, your dad tracks you. Yes. It's a couple of years ago now, but he got me a new phone for my birthday and just randomly I would get texts like, oh, what are you doing out here or doing something there? And then I clicked on that. He knew where I was and I figured out it was the phone. Wow. So he had got you the new phone, but had turned on and installed like a Find My

Friends app. Yeah. I'm not too sure how he did it like still to this day but i was a bit like oh so i was like 14 at the time you know i was just and i went to school like quite a while way while from home and then so when it was something where i was somewhere different he would be like why are you there what are you doing yeah it wasn't two three one it was school straight real real subtle dad a subtle, Dad, eh? Real subtle. Yeah, Dad's got to work on their subtleness. Does he still track you now?

I hope not. Oh, but you don't know for sure, so yes. Yes, yes. He's keeping tabs. That's crazy. Thanks, you call Brittany. Another anonymous caller. What's the situation?

Hi. Hi, so my partner, his mum tracks his bank account spending Wow, but how old is he roughly? So he is 19 Okay So we've been together two years Okay And every time he swipes his card, buys something online, buys something anywhere,

she gets a notification. Oh, she's got full-blown spyware. Yeah, that's too much. But does she ever hit him up about anything? Um, yes. But he's 19. It's his money. He's got to be able to learn, doesn't he? Wow. Yeah, exactly.

Wow. That's, yeah, it's learn, doesn't he? Wow. Yeah, exactly. Wow. That's, yeah, it's a bit creepy. Good luck with that. Yeah, good luck. All right, thank you, anonymous caller. Someone said, I got a weird notification one day that my dad had joined Snapchat. I was like, what?

Oh, no, no, no, no. Dad uses Snapchat? Turns out he'd been told about Snap Map, which is a map on Snapchat, and he just joined Snapchat to be able to work out where I was. Pretty quickly turned that off. Just blocked dad. Yeah.

My dad used to do this when we lived in the country and he was so worried about the roads being so dangerous. So he'd just do it and keep a live update on where we were on the road

and how fast we were going. Does this one show you the one you've got show the speed? I don't know if it does show the speed. I haven't found that. So many people

just saying that that Life360 is so handy just when your kids get older and they said, you know, this is coming in from the kids, just saying knowing where everybody is. Yeah. You can go, can you go dark? Can you like hit a button and go offline for it? No, that's a giveaway.

That'd be like saying to mum and dad, drugs or something. Yeah, then they'd just be like, why are you offline? Oh, I'm buying drugs. It's probably better, though, that they know where you are so they leave you alone. Yeah. Don't you think? Yeah.

Or get two phones and leave your phone where you're supposed to be. Well, if they're paying for the phone bill, I guess that's the downside. You've got to let them track you. We've got a sneaky little rat over here. Buy two phones, leave one where you should be. Could you leave it on something like the link bus

that just goes round in a loop? Tell the bus driver just to hold onto this for a bit. Nah, so you're getting in trouble. You're saying tape it to the bottom of the bus. If you're skiffing under a bus, the tape's something

under there to get a bus to spin. Oh. Yeah, yeah. And then your parents would be wondering why you're doing loops to the city. They'd think you'd fallen asleep

on the link bus. But meanwhile, you're at someone's house. Yeah, okay. It's a great plan. Feel free to take that one up. You're just going to get back on the bus. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day is another in our Trailblazer series, an amazing rundown of 125, and it's not just 125 women that have made this country great. Look in the mirror today. There's a gal staring back at you that made this country what it is. Not you, Fletch. Okay, sorry. Just you, Megan.

Look in the mirror. Have you got a penis? It's not you. It's not you today. It's not the mirror. Have you got a penis? Yeah. It's not you. It's not you today. It's not your day. It's not you this week. Okay. Celebrating 125 years of suffrage.

The suffrage movement. Incredible stories. Highlighting people I'd never even heard of. Kate Shepard. Mm. I don't know why, but I in my mind always imagined her to be a real working class gal. She's on the $10 note. Yeah, she's kind of the face of the suffragette

movement. Yeah, she used to be the orange election man, like back in the day. Like that orange thing that's like, go vote. Oh no, she was like, let us vote. And then he's, go and vote. He should actually say, she did all this hard work. Yeah, I'm riding on her coattails as an orange blobby

guy. But I always considered her a real working class dame. But then I saw a photo of her yesterday that's been colourised, like digitally revamped and colourised. Posh. She looked posh. She looks posh on the $10 note. Because you only ever see her hair.

I just thought they might have done her hair for that portrait for the money. They're like, oh, Kate, you're going to be on the money. You need to kind of. Can we do something with her hair, please? She's going to be on the money. Can we do something with her hair, please? She's going to be on the money one day in this photo. Make it look nice. But yeah, she was like quite posh looking. Okay.

So she came from... But what are you trying to say? Well, I don't know why, but in my mind... Posh people don't change the world? No, posh people do change the world. I'm not going to be wrong. But I thought that she would have come from a place where rich men would have been like,

why don't you get something to do? Like go play tennis with the gals and make us some scones. Like that sort of thing. And she would have been like a place where rich men would have been like why don't you get something to do like go play tennis with the gals and make us some scones like that sort of thing and she would have been like alright dad but no she was like not happy with that

even though she was in a good position by the looks right okay I hear ya you know what I'm saying I do but it's not about

Kate Shepard today and the Trailblazer series this is about New Zealand's first female jockey Linda Jones okay this is another one of those ones where you're going to be like,

what year? Now, in what year do you think women were banned from competing as jockeys? Now, there was one race. Do you mean up until which year? Up until which year? When the ban was lifted? So it's kind of not lifted.

There was an event one year that was like a bit of a, why don't we just let the girls ride the ponies? Ho, ho, ho. That'll be funny. Their boobs will be jiggling. There was an event one year that was like a bit of a, why don't we just let the girls ride the ponies? That'll be funny. Their boobs will be jiggling. How will they put a helmet on with all that hair? Who knows? Let's give them a shot and see what happens.

So what year do you think 11 women settled up to compete in a race known as the Powder Puff Derby? The Powder Puff Derby. The Powderpuff Derby. 60s. I'm going to say. 50s, 60s. 80. No, it's got to be before 80s. 1970.

Prior to 1970, women were banned for competing as jockeys. So there was 11 women who took to the racetrack. And one of them was Linda Jones. And she loved horses. Okay. And she wanted equal rights in horse racing. It wasn't until 1978, so eight years later,

that she, oh no, 1977, sorry, was when she became the first female jockey to gain the right to race against men in the same races. Wasn't that far off. It was the next year, 1978, that she won her first race. Wow.

At Te Rapa in Hamilton. She's won! Oh, my God, that chick has won! Fantastic! Wait a minute to those titties! What the blue blazes is going on? This is the racing industry. The only jingling we should be seeing is from the little man's penis!

Stop! I'm abhorred! This is the racing industry. The only jingling we should be seeing is from the little man's penis. Stop. I'm abhorred. Give me some caviar on a cracker. I'm bloody rampable. We laugh and that's probably the exact conversation. Yeah, I can imagine that. So these are the reasons that after she won the Powder Puff Derby. I just can't believe you did that.

I just can't believe you did that. I apologise. In 1970, she applied for an apprentice licence. Right. To be an apprentice jockey. She was turned down. The reasons being. Oh, God.

She was married. Okay. She was too old. Right. At the time, she was 24. Okay. She was too old. Right. At the time, she was 24. Okay. She wasn't strong enough,

and she would take work off already registered male jockeys. We'll work about harder. But she stuck at it, and as I said, in 1977, she won the right to be the first female jockey to race against men, and then won her first race the very next year. Good on her. Yeah. Were married men jockeys allowed to race?

I assume so. Yeah, so what's being married? For the men. For the men. Okay. They'll be smashing their genitals against the saddle, sure, but she's got to have a baby in her tum. It's just a dumb thing. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Have you not seen a horse that's so big and strong? She's a wig. Female. How will she steer it? Oh, we joke, but literally those would have been the conversation. Next thing you tell me, she'll be driving the ute, towing the trailer to get it here. So today's fact of the day is prior to 1970,

it was illegal for females in New Zealand to compete as jockeys. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. I would like it to be known that I no longer have the shopping problem on the show. Oh, you know, you've toned down a lot. I've stepped down as queen and someone else has taken over and it's not a queen that you should be proud of, I don't think.

Intern Anya is the newest person with a shopping problem. She's spent so much money. It's because she moved in with her mum and dad. Yeah. You're supposed to be saving. Serious saving. in with her mum and dad. And she was like, I'm just going to start with serious savings. Yeah, for a week, me and my boyfriend were like, oh, we'll save up and get a house deposit for somewhere that is like four hours commute away and it'll be great.

And then we realised that that was really boring. So, you know, we're just like my mum and dad and shopping. So you look at it as the money that you'd put on rent is free money for shopping. Pretty much. Okay. I'm investing in my personal brand. And how's that working out for you?

I like that. How's your personal brand going? It's a... You doing all right? A hit and a half, yeah. Yeah. Because today you've actually had a wee setback in your personal brand

because you have to send something back. Yeah, I have to put my tail between my legs and order some shoes online that, yes, they did say, you have to send something back. Yeah, I have to put my tail between my legs. And ordered some shoes online that, yes, they did say, oh, no, you can't return these, but... What, because they were on sale? Yeah, they say final sale cannot be returned. Yeah, they were down from $200 to $60. These are shoes?

Yeah, these are shoes. Nice. All leather heels. Leather entirely, I will add. Very flash. Down to $60. What a steal. These are shoes, nice, all leather heels, leather entirely, I will add, very flash, down to $60. What a steal. And then it turns out that they only fit my toes in there.

Like, not even a part of my heel. So, what size did you order? A nine. And what size came? Well, it said a 39.5, which on the size guide said it was a nine, but no, sir. You can't get your foot in. Not even half. Is it a girth issue?

No, it's a length issue as well. It's a length and a girth. But is it your foot? Is it too big? Look, I'm a curvaceous woman, okay? And there's no exception for my feet. I've got a whole shoe size smaller and my foot fits in it, but like snug. So it would suggest that it's the wrong size.

So they have sent you the wrong size. They've misled with the sizing. Yeah, because sometimes it'll be like, oh, this size is a bit small, runs a bit small, get a smaller size. But there's none of that kind of shenanigan on here. So I've written a strongly worded complaint email. So Anya's just sent me this message being like, is this okay for the returns letter?

Well, you've sent your fair share of returns. Yeah. Well, she was going to try to sell them. I was like, no, write a strongly worded letter that they're the wrong size, they're not a nine, and get your money back. It sounds like a disgruntled mum. I couldn't have written this better myself.

Do you want to hear some of this later? Oh, yes. Okay. I've just received the Jane Debstar Vibe shoes and I'm very frustrated at what I've received. Oh. Frustration. Frustration is a mum emotion. If mums were only allowed

one emotion for the rest of their life it would be frustration. Whilst I do acknowledge that these shoes had a no returns policy, I feel that the shoes guide with these shoes was completely misleading. And I should not be left out of pocket as a result of this.

This is 22-year-old Anya again. Look, as I said to Megan, some kids learnt times tables. Mum taught me how to write complaint emails. You know, six years old, listen up. This is how you do it. I am a size 9. Frequently buy shoes from your website,

as my order history will state. Oh! Yeah, good. Hit them with a bit of loyalty that they could lose. So she says there was no warning that this shoe runs small, and I certainly would not have spent $59.95 on them if I had known. This is real passing if I had known. This is real passing. I love it.

The shoes remain in a perfect condition and should be resold to someone who is aware that the shoes do run very small. This is the most like... But they're just going to fire back with you've got a big foot. No, but I... But she's got the history where it shows that she's

purchased a shoe in the size Is it clear I only ordered shoes Like two days prior So she'll be fine Would they ever have The audacity To write something back

Along the lines of Has your foot Experienced weight gain No See She even broaches this By saying Your size guys

Said that it would fit A 39.5 Which would be A size 9 However both myself And a colleague Who has a size 9 foot cannot even slightly get into the shoes.

Another colleague who has a size 8 foot can barely fit into them. I've covered all my bases. You have. You've really thought of everything. Your mum did so well. Thank you. 7 times 8. The three colleagues and me and Caitlin.

What's 7 times 8? 39. No. 56. 7. What's 7 times 8? 39. No. 56. 7. What's 7 times 8? 54. 63.

No. 62. It's like Keno. What's 7 times 8? So you can't do the times tables, but you can write a good complaint letter. And do you know what Ashley's good at? Discounts. Like percentages off.

Thank you. She will tell you that in a second. Yeah, I noticed that the other day. That was weird. It was weird. It was like 35% off. She was like, tell me. What's 20% off $39.95? It'll be $32.

That's pretty good. It's so good. I love it. Well, good luck. Good luck getting your shoes back. Keep us up, David. Thank you. Have you seen that? Yeah. Okay love it. Well, good luck. Good luck getting your shoes back. Keep us up, David. Thank you. Have you seen that? Yeah. Okay, great. Did you put the work signature on the bottom? No, I didn't. Oh, you always chuck them on.

I should have done some grumpy emojis too, like girl, this is my face right now. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZM Online.
