No, we spring forward. Yeah, but I said it feels like five, but it's actually six. Oh, yeah. Because we start at six. Yeah, warm is right. God, confusing. I hate it when you're right. I mean, you've only been on this planet a little bit. I know, but daylight saving shocks me every time.

All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, Megan Vaughan, I'm going to hit you with three news headlines. You've got to pick one. Headline one, stink deal for man. Headline two, rest home party time. And headline three, mouldy flat provides inspiration. Mouldy flat?

Yeah. Okay. Like mould. Yeah. You'd be familiar with mould. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks.

Nothing but exit mould could take care of. Oh, you've got to be careful with exit mould, though. It gets you. Undies. Oh, it just gets you dizzy as well. Oh, yeah, yeah. I always wear a respirator. A little gas, a little...

Yeah. That's probably for the best. A little mask. Oh, you'd be crazy if you did that without. That stuff is lethal. Oh, yeah. That's probably for the best. A little mask. Oh, you'd be crazy if you did that without. That stuff is lethal. Oh, yeah. You spray it and then you walk away, shut the door and you come back and you're like, has someone renovated my bathroom?

It looks great in here. And then a few months later, you're back at it because you've got a moisture problem. Yeah, this is true. And you're just putting a plaster on the issue. Yeah. Stink. I don't like Mouldy Flat. What's this?

Story number one with the stink something? Stink deal for man. No, I'd prefer Mouldy Flat. Provides inspiration. Mouldy Flat is inspiring. Rest time, party time. What about rest time, party time? Is it just an O-R-G-Y at a rest time?

No, Megan. Oh, okay. Was that where your mind went? Yeah, because you know how they're like having good times. Party time at rest. Come on. That's what it suggests. That's what you want us to believe.

We go now to New Haven, where a nursing home has been fined after four residents tested positive for taking cocaine and were spotted passing a rolled up dollar bill to each other. Oh, my God. Hey, you. Yeah. There's a time to try heroin. It's when you're old.

Like, that wasn't heroin. No, it was cocaine. What I'm saying is go through your life without doing it because you've got something to do and people who rely on you. But then when you're old and you're just ticking things off your bucket list, surely a range, a variety of illegal drugs has got to be on the list. Yeah, I think it's the attitude that you're demonstrating there, Vaughan, shows why we have a problem in rest homes now.

But they're all their lives. These were the people born into like World War II or even before World War II. Yeah, true. They did all the hard yards. Yeah, so live a little. They didn't snort a little coke. Live a little. They should be given an allowance.

One patient claims they got the drugs from a nurse's aide. That aide was later fired. One resident, after taking the opioid, was unresponsive and hospitalised. Uh-oh. Yes. And so two other nurses as well were fined for poor treatment. Did they become responsive again?

Yeah, it doesn't say they died. What a way to go. So, yeah, they sorted that out. Good Lord. But, yeah, you're probably right. You'd want to live it up, wouldn't you? There's other activities. What about, like, bingo and painting? Do you ever see them, like, in the vans, the old people's rest home vans? You it up, wouldn't you? There's other activities. What about like bingo and painting?

Do you ever see them in the vans, the old people's rest home vans? You're just like, oh my God, shoot me. No, they're going to activities. They don't know they're going to activities, though, Megan. They're going to bowls or something. Some of them do live a great life. Some of them really enjoy all these activities. They get together.

Some of them are just being carted along and they're just... Yeah. It's pretty sad, isn't it? I just open the door. I'll be like, don't stop. We'll be like, we've lost four. Don't stop. Don't come back for me.

Yeah. Oh, my God. I talk about my own mortality very morbidly, but it's my mortality, so deal with it. What? Don't be offended because it's... Well, it's me, isn't it? I'm talking about myself.

Don't you guys worry about me. You're on a dating app and excuse me, you see someone famous. Tread carefully because someone famous in New Zealand has it seems been catfished on Tinder.

So a journalist was alerted to the fact that Manu Vatavai might be on Tinder. Alerted to the fact or was on Tinder themselves? That's a story falling into your lap. Yeah. Because I imagine you've got to do a certain amount of stories every day. Yep. That's a freebie, isn't it? I am.

I tell you what, it's a freebie, but also you're going to get that clicks. Got to hit your clicks. Exactly, yeah. Got to hit your clicks target down here. So the journo matched with Manu on Tinder and straight away asked if this profile was a catfish. Right.

They said, no, I'm not. And it's always the first question I get asked. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. But then when they realised they were a journalist, they stopped talking to them. Right. So I'd say it's a fake. They did actually talk to Manu and he said,

are you serious? Ha, ha, ha, that's a crack up. No, I'm not. Must be a fake. Can you imagine me on it? Ha, ha, ha, ha. So, so. Right.

Married and. Yeah. Oh, God. You'd have to do some explaining, wouldn't you? Because just saying it's a fake is like not enough. Yeah. That's not me. But although the pictures used are like full on photo shoot pictures.

So publicly available. Yeah and like I can't imagine that their pictures he would probably put up himself. I mean I don't know him very well at all but there's a topless picture and it's like he's looking off to the side and it's from a photo shoot.

Right. You know like I feel like it would be a little bit more intimate. Photos taken by yourself maybe. Yeah. But yeah, it's not. Maybe one with his wife and kids. I don't know. I'm not on Tinder, but I'd probably lead the charge with my children.

They get, people like them. Yeah, right. Okay. My wife, people like her too. Yeah, you put her on there. I'd probably put her on there. The goats. The goats. The goats.

Brilliant. A freshly mowed lawn. My latest gate creation. Yeah, you'd wonder why no one's swiping you. Your photos of your goats and a gate. The sheep, but they'd be from a distance because you can't get too close to them. They don't like you, do they? No, not overly.

No. But yeah, that's probably how I'd lead the charge. Not the publicity photos from around here where they photoshopped my teeth a bit whiter but didn't fix my wonky eye. Thanks for nothing, marketer. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A British study has found that one in five men

have no friends. Oh. Yeah, in Britain at the moment, there's a lot of focus on what is called the loneliness epidemic. Right. They looked into it a little bit further, found that 18% of men said they did not consider themselves to have close friends.

Oh, man. And 32% stating that they didn't even have a best friend. One in three men wouldn't be able to say, oh, yeah, that's my best friend. In a country that size, in the UK alone, that's millions and millions of people. So apparently men outside of work led more solitary lives. Most friends that men made were through work,

which becomes a problem in retirement. Oh yeah, because you're not with them. Because they retire at different ages. So they might still be working, but these guys have retired and they don't really have any friends. And I'm guessing they're not good at talking about their feelings. Terrible. No.

Terrible at it because there's still a stigma attached to that. Hopefully from here on out, though, we can change that stigma. I think even in the last five or ten years it's changed quite a bit. It's getting better. Yeah. Do you think that would be the similar thing here in New Zealand?

Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I know there's a lot of focus like thinking of the farming side of things. There's a lot of focus on more the social aspect of it

and checking in with other farmers because you imagine like you could just be by yourself for days and not see anyone. You work hard out in the paddock all day and then you go inside, have dinner and go to bed.

Yeah, you go and you see your family, but you don't want to gripe and groan to them all the time. Yeah. So, yeah, you're probably just out there for, you know, days on end having only seen your family and knowing that you really wanted to open up to and maybe load up with your problems. Women, however, said only

12% of women said that they didn't have close friends and 24% said they didn't have what they were considered to be a best friend, but they had groups of friends and most of their friendships were forged with other parents that they'd met through their kids' schools or sports clubs or hobbies they had, which meant that they'd met through their kids' schools or sports clubs or hobbies they had,

which meant that they could continue on past retirement and were lifelong friends. Right. Yeah. Huh. And while they would take their husbands and their men would consider them friends, they'd consider them their wife's friends or like...

Not their friends. ...truend friends, not their actual friends. Huh. Yeah. Gosh. Well, we've talked about making adult friends before. their actual friends. Huh? Yeah. Gosh. Well, we've talked about making adult friends before. It's very hard. It's very hard.

Because when you're like, will you be my friend? But when you're older, that's like a bit weird. Well, then the poll also said when was the last time you made a new friend. And under 18% of men surveyed had forged or even tried to forge a new friendship in the past few months. So they are trying. Or they're not trying enough. Only a few. Only, yeah, under 20% are actually trying or have tried recently. Yeah, right.

Gosh. It's hard work. Maybe we need to make a new friend day. What? Make a new adult friend day. A day, you know, like a national day. Like a day off work. Nah, because then all these like men will just go and stay at home.

No, they've got to go and attend these friend-making events. You've got to go out. Compulsory fun. Oh, God, you know there's nothing like that. We all know how much fun compulsory fun is. No, not fun at all. Ironically, no. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. So the reason that forensic scientists do not eat cauliflower cheese, it's...

Cauliflower cheese is... Yeah, do you need an explanation? Hardly cooked cauliflower with white sauce poured over it and then like panko and a bit more cheese on top and then you bake it, right? Didn't I have that at your RSA? My RSA makes a classic dish. A lot of cheese. They put some broccoli in their cauliflower cheese as well. I'm not against that, though.

Yeah, no. It's what you do with soggy leftover... Cauliflower. Brassicas. That's the word I was looking for. Oh, right. You just put them in, then you put cheese sauce over top. Yum.

But forensic scientists specifically do not eat the dish. Is this like people from CSI, Miami, Vegas? They do autopsies and causes of death and blood spatter analysis. Yeah. And for that reason, they don't eat cauliflower cheese because apparently, if you'd like it, I hope this doesn't ruin it for you because now it's all I'm going to be thinking about.

Why I love cauliflower cheese. It's because the cauliflower cheese smells the same as a corpse. What? Apparently. How do you know this? They've said this. Yeah. I've said that it has a similar smell, so they're not keen.

As a corpse? Yeah. So this isn't a memoir that a forensic scientist is addressing. So have you found, like, Nan? Yeah. Oh, jeez. Dad's like, hey, we haven't heard from Nan for a few months. You're like, I'll go check.

Don't check if you like cauliflower cheese. Yeah, would cheese smell like cauliflower cheese? Yeah. I guess so. What part of the corpse smells like cauliflower cheese. Yeah, would cheese smell like cauliflower cheese? Yeah. I guess so. What part of the corpse smells like cauliflower cheese? So when your system, as the blood settles,

the system fills with carbon dioxide. I don't know if we need the details. And the cells release enzymes to break down the tissues. Bacteria and yeast proliferate and ferment.

I guess that's the cheese. Aiding to the process of decomposition. So I guess that's maybe. So you said this is in a memoir. This is a memoir. Yeah. I actually feel this sick. Lifting the lid on that kind of world. Yeah.

Patricia Wiltshire, she's a forensic scientist. There's other stuff. No, I don't want you to say it because you've already ruined breakfast. I do. I feel a bit ch to say it because you've already ruined breakfast. I do. I feel a bit churny. And you've ruined cauliflower cheese for me.

What's it got other things about? What they get up to. Smells and that. Like how they do stuff and I don't know if it's like, I don't know if it's appropriate. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty gross by the sounds of it. It's stuff like, you wouldn't even, you don't even consider that you just, so when they prepare a body, you don't think about what goes into it, what someone has to do. Isn't it like, because you always see on the shows, like the detectives will go into the morgue and they're like, all right, what's the cause of death?

And they pull the sheet back and they're like, this is a laceration and this is. Blunt force trauma. How does someone like get into that? You know, like, they're like, I'm going to be... Well, I guess they're fascinated. They get into the medical field. They kind of get into

maybe studying health science. Yeah. And then that tickles their fancy and that's kind of fascinating. Tickles their fancy. And they're like, let's solve some crimes. I mean, I guess it is.

I wonder what the path is. Do you go in through health science or do you go in through crime? I don't know. Probably health science. I mean, you know, the work they do is solving, you know, crimes, isn't it? Heck yes. It's vitally important. It's quite grim, isn't it?

Yeah. And I mean, if it's going to put you up cauliflower cheese for life, that's not something I want to get into. What about Undertaker's? No. Do they enjoy cauliflower cheese for life. That's not something I want to get into. What about Undertakers? No. Do they enjoy cauliflower cheese? What does an Undertaker do? They've got to get it all out.

They've got to embalm them and make sure they don't swell and explode if it's a hot day for the funeral. Good. Okay. Yeah. Do they like a cauliflower cheese? I met a kid once and they were like 19 and just talking about like careers. Yeah. And they're like, oh? I met a kid once. Probably not. And they were like 19. And just talking about like careers. Yeah.

And they were like, oh, Undertaker. Like they decided that was them. They were going to be an Undertaker. I was like, so fascinating at your age that you'd be into it. Oh, death's so interesting. And the good thing is you don't run out of work. You know, like some industries, like we could be replaced by robots. Yes.

They won't be. Pick something that never dies. Exactly. Or does die. Or by robots. Yes. They won't be. Pick something that never dies. Exactly. Or does die. Or always dies. Yeah. Rest times. Imagine you get a rest time.

Yep. And an undertaker. Chuck a funeral home on the back. We buy a package. I'm just saying. That's called vertical integration of industry. Vaughan Smith business mentor. Yeah.

And then open an early childhood. Yep. Oh, you'd have both ends covered. Boom. Yeah. Great. You're bookending life right there. Yeah. And then open in early childhood. Yep. Oh, you'd have both ends covered. Boom. Yeah, great. You're bookending life right there. Yeah.

From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. Dan Carter has, has he got an ongoing relationship with Louis Vuitton? Oh, I don't, I don't know.

When he was playing in France, didn't that get started? I think he had Louis Vuitton rugby boots. He may have. Is that a thing? Could be. I don't know.

He's running in the mud in them. He's released a rugby ball handbag. It's the size and shape of a rugby ball with Louis Vuitton on it and some stitching and then like a handle and a zip. And everyone's like, what? It's a handbag. Yeah. And everyone's being far meaner than I'm being right now.

It just. They were laying into him, weren't they? It's like, it's a solid ball. Like it looks like a bougie Louis Vuitton rugby ball. Yeah. Doesn't it? Like it looks hard, but then it's just got a little handle strap. And it's too big to be, so is it for men?

It's too big to be a clutch. But it's not as big as a rugby ball. It's as big as like an Easter egg. And does it have a shoulder strap or you just got to hang it? I think it's a hand strap. Yeah, it's odd. I can't find a price for it. I would guess.

He said in his post they've only made $112. Yeah. And he's like, do you know why? No. Is that how many matches he played? Is that 112 matches? No, he would have been way higher than that. How many games he played for the All Blacks?

No. See, I can't find a price on it. All I found is that Louis Vuitton also recently released a US faux Jenga set. He played 112 games for the All Blacks. There you go. There you go. They released a Jenga set. Right.

For $3,000 US. Okay. So, I don't know. That price For $3,000 US. Okay. So, I don't know. That price is probably going to be tall, but it got me to thinking why New Zealand athletes do more of this. Are the top six other New Zealand athlete fashion house collabs that we need?

Number six. Dame Valerie Adams and Gucci shot put. A handbag shot put? No, just a shot put. Oh, right. Just a shot put. Or just a shot put. Oh, right. Just a shot put. Okay.

You imagine if they probably have to be the regulation ones, but she could do all of her training with the Gucci one. Yeah. It would look pretty glam. Yeah. She'd do a range of, like, scents as well in a shot put. Yes, perfume. Great thinking.

You're on board. Yeah. You're a welcome aboard. Welcome aboard. We'll just have to make sure that Valera Adams is okay with us hawking her identity to make money. Number five on the list of the top six other New Zealand athlete fashion house co-labs that we need. Scott Dixon, the IndyCar driver.

Scott Dixon and Versace teaming up for an IndyCar seat cover and gear knob. Like Momo car kits, but Versace, darling. Versace. Teaming up for an IndyCar seat cover and gear knob. Like Momo car kits, but Versace, darling. Versace. It's good that you're saying Versace. Versace. Well, I watched the show about how he was gunned down on the steps of his mansion. No, I like Versace.

The American. By the guy off Glee. Yeah. He did that in 97 and they still let him be in Glee? Yeah. That's not great, is it? No. Number five on the list of the top six New Zealand athlete fashion hulks,

co-laves that we need, Stephen Adams and Prada. Oh, okay. Doing a size 18 slide for basketballs that just want to chill at home on a Sunday. And I've seen him wearing slides with socks. But I think even though he's worth millions of dollars, I'm pretty sure the slides you're wearing were those blue and white striped ones you get from like

the warehouse. Yeah. It's good to see him keeping it real. Good to see him just a pair of socks from like RD1

or like a rural store. Yeah, right. Number three on the list of the top six New Zealand Athlete Fashion House collabs that we need. Lisa Carrington

and Yisve Saint Laurent. Yves Saint Laurent. So YSL. YSL. Yeah. LC and YSL kayak paddle. Okay.

That would look pretty. I kind of like the idea of all of these. Because the kayak paddle's got the big paddly bits. Okay. That would look pretty. I kind of like the idea of all of these. Because the kayak paddle's got the big paddly bits on the end. Now, they spend a lot of time in the water, but when it comes up, it would just be like boom. Prime advertising. Yeah, prime. Y-E-S-L.

Yeah. Boom. Boom. Boom. Saint Laurent. Your verse. Yeah. Saint Laurent.

Number two on the list of the top six other New Zealand athlete fashion house co-lovers that we need. Lydia Ko meets Burberry for a golf bag. Oh, okay. Oh, Burberry do good bags. I love that. You know this. Well, you had those Burberry sunglasses.

It accidentally made you cold. You remember that? R.I.P. R.I.P. They were great sunglasses. They were. Well, I lose all my good sunglasses. I lost those Ray-Bans the other day.

Did you? I don't know where they went. I had them. I was mowing the lawn and then they're gone. Why are you wearing them mowing the lawn? Because it was bright, Megan. You probably ran them over. Probably.

And then just shot them into the paddock. Oh, my God. See ya. But that might have happened. So, Lidico and Burberry golf bag with matching plus fours. Those are the golf pants. And polo shirt and hat for the discerning Sunwise golf player. But it all matches.

She'd look great in Burberry. Yes. All very, very matchy, matchy. And number one in today's top six other New Zealand athlete fashion house collabs, we need Mark Todd and Fenty. Okay. That's for sexy equestrian leathers. Okay.

With matching saddle and horse blinkers. Oh, okay. Fenty horse blinkers. Yes. Can you imagine the sexy leather up there? Yeah. He's got the frame for it. Yeah.

Wiry, but he'd carry the leather quite well, I think. And the matching saddle. Yeah. Fantastic. Bringing a bit of sex back to equestrian. Yeah. Wiry, but he'd carry the leather quite well, I think. And the matching saddle. Yeah. Fantastic. Bringing a bit of sex back to equestrian. Lovely. Brilliant. It's just what it needed. Long been said. Equestrian, not sexy enough. They're not having enough.

That is today's top six. Flesh, fauna, Megan. The podcast. ZM. So a man is lodging a complaint with the Commerce Commission after a Sony TV worth more than $7,000, actually $7,494, was advertised online for just $99.99. I'll take one.

I'll buy four. If it's a 75-inch TV, that's humongous. That's what. Well, you know, at the moment, we've had our fireplace taken out of our house. Yeah. You're doing renovations. Light renovations.

Yeah. And I did a measure up the other day, and it's too big a wall for our 65-inch television. It's going to make the TV look small. This is such a guy thing to do. When you clear something out, it can make it, you know, and you've got a bigger space. It's going to make the TV look small You all know when you This is such a guy thing to do When you clear something out It can make it

You know And you've got a bigger space It can make it look small So I'm thinking of an upgrade Okay How big? Well I'm pushing for 85 Jesus

Chris have you ever When you go into like a TV Like a Where do you What are those places called? A store A store Base A store. Base, building,

buy things there. You've been to all the TVs everywhere. Yeah. One of those departments or whatever. Just a store, yeah. Oh no,

because you're like, you've got your mindset on it, you're like, I'm going to get a 65 inch and you go there and you're like, oh my God, look at these 85 inches.

Oh no, I was going to say, you go there and you're like, how much? Oh no, I'm just kidding. Well that too, because then you look at the there and you're like, how much? Oh, no, I'm just kidding. Well, that too, because then you look

at the pricing, you're like, okay, you're back down to 55. Do I need a mesh remote? Do I need that? Do I need this? No, but then you're like, how many months interest free?

Exactly, take it up. How many months do I not have to book a paper? Well, and that's why this guy was, apparently this was on the Sony website. He was like,

well, maybe this is one of those things where they, you know. What? Put them on a mess of sales well, maybe this is one of those things where they, you know. What? Put them on a massive sale? Well, this is what he said. He's seen, he was reminded of a promotion

that BMW ran on April Fool's in 2015 where they gave away a free $50,000 BMW in a reverse April Fool's joke. And he's like, well, maybe it's just Sony's way of marketing.

And I can tell everyone I got a $7,500 TV for $99. But they contacted him after he purchased it because he's like, well, I'm getting in. And said, sorry, that was wrong. There's been a mistake. There's been a mistake. You're not getting this TV for $99. And he's got a problem with that.

And now he's lodging a complaint because they cancelled the order. They did refund him the money, the $99. But they had it up there for that price. Isn't that kind of their fault? That's why he's gone to the Commerce Commission. Because the airlines have done this in the past as well. And normally some airlines will dishonour it,

but some have also in the past reversed. Like people that have found business class seats for like $5 accidentally. Well that's like, they're gonna lose $7,400 though, aren't they? They honour that. Exactly. Exactly. But I thought, could we take some calls this morning when you've had an

error in your favour? When you've gone to buy something, maybe online, and the price has been too good to be true about it, you just got away with it? Yeah. Or you went in store and bought something and maybe they put the price in wrong? Because would you say anything?

Um, yes. I don't think, most of the time I don't notice. Oh, I'm going to get better at lying about that. Oh, do you want to go again? So would you say anything for him? Oh, yeah. What kind of shop am I?

Is it like a little situation? Oh, no, you're in like a big guy store. You're not in like a little... Oh, no, I'd let them... I actually wouldn't tell them. I'd let them use it as a training thing to try to chase me down to get me to pay. It's a good way of looking at it.

When I'm on my way to the car car or sometimes they'll call you later on. But you'd always be looking over your shoulder. All the time. You know, that the FBI will be knocking on your door. No, they're not going to go that far. They're not going to get the FBI involved. It's out of their jurisdiction, isn't it? They've got more important things to do.

All right, well, give us a call. 0800-DARLS.M. You can text 9696. Whenever you've bought something and you've had a price error in your favour So a man is upset that he bought a $99 TV That was meant to be $7,500 He's not upset about that He's upset because they

They changed their mind They said no it was an accident So he never received the TV No before it came He must have ordered it over the weekend They sent him an email on Monday saying, Soz, we've made a mistake. You're not getting that TV.

So he's lodged a complaint. Interesting. But already it's... We'll see how that goes. Yeah. I mean, because they did advertise it. But then the screenshot of the website just shows, maybe this is the recent one, shows the $7,500 price.

But yeah, he went to pay for it. $99. Done. But yeah, whenever you had an error in your favour, a pricing error, you can call 0800-DARLENS-ATM-9696. Taron, what happened? Hello? Hello, Taron.

Yeah. Hey, I found a camera body, a DSLR camera body inside of a kettle box, which wasn't supposed to be there. So you bought a kettle? Yeah, from a store. And we had a look inside of it. Oh, my God. They found him.

They found him. They finally caught up. They've caught up with him and sniped him. He's gone. Because those, you know, those DSLR camera bodies can be like $2,000 or $3,000. They can be thousands of dollars. He's gone. You can't bloody boil water in a camera, can you?

No. You can't make a cup of coffee with a camera. You're just looking forward to a nice cuppa. You're like, oh, God, there's a $2,000 camera in here. I think he can get another cup of coffee. I know. I need to know what happened. Can we try and get him back?

I want to find out if he took it back or if he kept it or sold it. He definitely kept it. Some other text messages in from people who had an absolute coup. Bought a Breville espresso machine. Ooh. Lovely. From Briscoe's. Yep. Fuck it on, eh? Was on sale for 30 espresso machine. Ooh. Lovely. From Briscoe's. Yep.

Fuck it on, eh? Was on sale for 30% off. Yep. Went through the kiosk in store. They didn't have one in stock. Yep. They said, we'll order it for you. And then I said, okay.

And they put in an amount and I swiped my FBOS card and paid for it. And they said, it'll be couriered. And then I walked away realising I had paid an absolute fraction of the price, but yet it turned up at my house. No further questions. See, that's the thing. I always just swipe and I never really look.

So people could charge me more or less all the time. Especially with the old tap and go. Yeah. I'd always notice it was more. I was online shopping for wine. Saw a very reputable brand advertised for $3.99 a case. What? A case?

A case. Someone's left out a digit. Is that 12 or six wines in a case? I don't know. What's the ruling on that? Six? Bankers dozen? That's buns.

Oh, is it? I bought two cases. Turned up, no questions asked. What? They definitely missed out. The decimal point was in the wrong place there, right? You surely got to be. Somebody said mum was looking at what she could buy with her flybys.

Found an iPad Air for one flybys point. Redeemed it. Went to pick it up from Noel Lemmings. And got it, no questions asked. However, when they were waiting for them to bring it from out the back, somebody said, oh, what'd you do there? And mum said, oh, I bought a, I think they've got a mistake. One flyby's point was for six iPads.

So this person apparently logged on in store and tried to redeem six. Mum walked out the store, but apparently that person raised enough suspicion that they put a halt on it. Wow. So you don't get greedy. No, exactly. Erin, when did you have an error in your favour? It was actually last night.

My boyfriend and I decided we'd go by Game of Monopoly. Okay. Do you want to have a fight? I like your boyfriend. Okay, things are going too well. Let's have a fight about nothing. I could read that book he's just noted into you, or we could play a board game.

It's the one with the bank card, so there was not really, you know, we couldn't cheat or anything. Okay. I'm currently not talking to him about it because he may have won. See? This is the problem with Monopoly. Don't play board games. Okay.

So the game itself, was it cheaper than it was meant to be? Yeah, so can I say where was meant to be? Yeah, so the, can I say where I got it from? No, let's not. Let's leave that out. There could be a major advertiser on the network. We don't want to upset anybody. They were having a sale anyway, so

the price sticker on the game says $39. Oh yes, sweet, I will take it. Scanned it through and it came up as like $6 or $59.99 or whatever it was. And we sat there and we're like, hold on. No. Come over here. This ain't right.

And then the chick was like, oh, I'm really sorry. I'll just change that for you. She ended up changing it just down to like $38 instead. So you kind of gained about $1 on that after the $59 mistake. I can see how you were so easily bamboozled with Monopoly. You

saved a dollar and you're like, I'm calling the radio station. I'm calling the radio station to tell them I saved a dollar. And your partner's like, yeah, great, yep, do it. But he couldn't have cheated because it's all electronic now. Yeah, but he bamboozled it with a mortgage, I bet. Aaron, thanks for your call. Taron has come back.

You may remember we left Taron when his phone cut out. He purchased a kiddo, and inside was a very expensive camera. Did you keep the camera, Taron? Yeah, I've still got it to this day. I had to get a lens for it because it's just a camera body, valued priced up with the price still on the box, about $14.50. Wow. But big question, did you manage to get a kettle?

No, I actually had to go back out and get another kettle. Did that raise suspicion? Yeah. Or were you just hoping that the lens was in that box? Collect your camera with a kettle. Yeah. Thanks, you called Taryn. I knew he kept it.

I knew he bloody kept it. He wasn't going to be doing anything silly, was he? Quite a few people messaging in about transactions at bars. When the person working at the bar is in such a hurry, they forget to hit the last zero. Oh, yeah. Someone said we were having our bar tab tallied up after a big day at a bar,

and they just quickly tapped it in and passed the boss the machine, but they'd missed the zero on the end. So he had a significantly cheaper staff, too. Didn't say anything about it, just paid and walked away. What would you do if that happened at the cafe? What, if I was, like, giving it to... Oh, I would hunt them down Until they paid it

Hey that male Yeah I bought a Karen Walker ring Online for $3 They contacted me Saying they'd been A mistake

And I said no And They said No And they gave me A refund of my $3 I was on an art site It had a painting

For $0 and everything else was $1,000. So I put it in the online cart, checked out, away we go. I only had to pay for postage. They probably emailed me saying it was a grand, do I still want it? I said, no, of course not. They did send me a T-shirt and a small picture

of the picture that I tried to buy. Oh, that's funny. I like that. All right, 7.23. I want to talk next about something that women are way more guilty of than men. This is going to cause arguments. We just had the Monopoly argument. Yeah.

Hasn't it been a wonderful podcast so far? And it's all thanks to Spark, our primary sponsor. Do you love free data? Then you will love the Spark data stack. More data every month that you stay. Hey, guys, let's get back into that podcast. If you think about your own relationship, oh, sorry, not you, Fletch,

but if you're in a relationship. Sick bird. Wow, that literally came from nowhere, unprompted. So how many times have you had an argument about who uses their phone the most? But this can be solved now because of the screen time counter on iPhones. Yeah, but that's a real passag move when you're like, open up your screen time.

Oh, yeah, not nearly as. It's the slightly less aggressive move. We don't. You're always on your phone. We never open that. Because. The screen time. I honestly don't think I'm on my phone as much as he is.

But didn't you just have this argument the other week with Sade? Yeah. And then you made it. But that's what I mean. You were like, open your screen time. I tried to initiate a phone free bid where. Oh yeah. Were you hoping to get some?

I was going to say it nicer than that. Oh yeah. Well, certainly. Always aiming. Yeah. It's the aim of the game than that. Oh, yeah. Well, certainly. Always aiming. Yeah. It's the aim of the game. Yeah. And she's like, you're one to talk.

No, she's not listening. You're one to talk. You're always on your phone. You are always on your phone. I said, I bet I'm not on my phone as much as you. And she said, you are. You will be. I was like, open up the thing then, the counter.

And I wasn't. However. I haven't. However, how much was your screen time compared to hers? It was on average something like 35 minutes less a day. In her defence,

like, you, it doesn't break down time of day. So maybe she's doing all her phone when you're not there. All her screen time

and then when you're there, it's just a little bit. Your Honour, I won't stand by and be falsely accused of this. It needs to be broken down into day part. Because like, you can be on your phone as much as you want when you're not with your partner. But when you're there, it's just a little bit. Your Honour, I won't stand by and be falsely accused of this. And these should be broken down into day part. Because, like, you can be on your phone as much as you want when you're not with your partner.

But when it's, like, together time, you're, like, going to put the phone down. No, it's just always convenient. It's the person who's saying, you're always on your phone, has literally just got off their phone. Yeah. Because they've checked everything in their board. Yeah. And they're like, hey, pay attention to me.

Hey, what's going on over there? You're always on your phone. Well,'re like, hey, pay attention to me. Hey, what's going on over there? You're always on your phone. Well, I mean, it's not great for women. There's been a study that has revealed that women use their phone for four hours

and 42 minutes per day. On average, men use their phone for three hours and 49 minutes. That's almost an hour less. Mama Mia. That's almost an hour less

than females. So that equates to 71 days a year that women are on their phone. And that is nearly two weeks more than men. Two weeks. In a whole year. Yeah. So that's 71 days you're spending on your phone. Just think about that.

But that's not every woman. You just think about what you've done. I'm the, I don't, I break the rule there. Like, I'm definitely not on my phone. But you would be on more than Mr. Toyboy. Nah.

Have you done that timer? Nah. Well, you can't say nah then. No, but I just don't think, no, he's on it all the time. Well, run the test. Tonight, do a test tonight, report back tomorrow. Run the timer.

No, because I'm scared I might lose. Exactly. Yeah, but, yeah. Unless you're like me, I just checked my screen time, but I updated my iPhone to the latest iOS, and it's cleared them all. So I've only been on my phone 23 minutes a day. Hey, good work, you.

That's great. That's good. All you. That's great. That's good. You're free. Your partner will be, oh. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. I'd like to talk about serial returners. People that buy stuff

on shopping websites. Megan. Oh, not serial. I just swiveled my chair to look at Internanya, who is also a cereal returner. I thought you were imagining someone took a box of cereal and had some in the back of the store. They're like, this is not nice. I don't like bran flakes.

This is yuck. I don't like all bran. Yeah. This one was too much. Don't you eat bran flakes? Yeah, I like all bran. I was going to say something, but then I was like,

don't feel like being ridiculed for my cereal choice. Sultana Bran was always the better brand. Yeah. Because the Sultanas give it, yeah. No, this is Cereal Returners of Clothing. Now, they estimate in the UK that Cereal Returners costs the retail industry 1.5 billion pounds a year.

Whoa. So a big issue they have is, and you claim that you don't do this, Megan, is people buying, say, a nice dress or a shirt or whatever to wear out to an event once, leaving the tags on and returning for a refund or a credit online. No, do you know why? I would like to say because I'm morally against it.

There's that, but it's also I don't back myself to, I spill food and drinks on myself all the time. I just would, I definitely rip it or spill or ruin it. Right. So the only reason you return things wrong size or you change your mind. Yeah, yeah. Or if it doesn't look good. Same thing?

I think you're wildly overestimating the amount of events I go to. I'm not overestimating the amount of packages that you drop off and return. That's just more like stuff doesn't fit

or change of mind or I realise I'm poor. You know, all these things come into play. Right, okay. Well, a study for Checkpoint, Checkpoint make those,

you know, those beep, beep, beep machines when you try to steal something from a shop. Do they? Checkpoint, and they make the tags

that go on things like those big tags. Right. The inky ones? Yeah, the inky ones, those kind of things. They have found more than one in five people routinely buy items to use and return. That rises to 43% of 16 to 24-year-olds

who are going out and wearing it once or twice with the tag tucked away and then returning. Now, they have invented a new tag. It looks like a red nose day nose that is on top of a large piece of paper or a tag that is clipped on somewhere visible on the item of clothing that you could not hide. Yeah. It can only be removed once. Right.

So once you take this tag off, there is no way that you can put it back on. You can't reattach it and then send it back. Yeah, you can't. So this is a new tag that they've just invented, which they're hoping is going to stop people doing what you say you don't do, Megan. If I don't.

And many people do. If you see someone in an event with a red nose day nose on their dress What if it's a red nose day event? Yeah well it looks like, I mean it's just a little red kind of a bulby. There's way around that you could make some petals and that could be like

a comical flower and just roll the paper up You could roll the paper up and hide it Yeah. Lots of places are doing similar things though though, to stop this. So the Iconic, they have a tag that's attached with, you know, like a plastic little string with it. So you can only detach it once.

I reckon I could. The tag just says invalid for return once removed or something like that. I reckon I could get an AliExpress gun. Gun. One of those tag guns. Connects that plastic. Put that right back on. One of those little string. Connects that plastic. Put that right back on. One of those little stringy plastics.

Have you never seen them using it in the store? That's a lot of effort. Is it though? I bet you can get one on AliExpress for five bucks. What would those be called? I don't know. Like a plastic tag gun? Plastic tag gun. I mean, I'm a plastic tag gun. Plastic tag gun. Yeah, here Plastic tag gun Yeah here we go

This is tagging guns And accessories You can get them From Office Max Oh okay They'll probably be Bougie expensive ones They'll be a bit more expensive

Than looking offshore $80 Oh okay That is for an Avery Denison Tag gun Fabric needle Fine Mark 2

Oh okay They've improved Significantly At Spotlight You can get one For $21.70 Okay But then you'd want the same plastic bits, eh? Because are they all the same?

I don't know. I mean, all you have to do is buy the shirt or the dress or whatever. Yeah, don't be lame. Don't be, yeah. Oh, no, I'm not encouraging. I just went in to check it. I went to check the price after you said that they could be purchased. They don't look like I thought they'd look.

No. They just look like a little glue gun like I thought they'd look. No. They just look like a little glue gun. What do they? Yeah. Okay, right. And then how does it work? I don't know.

You just put it in and it punches it through, doesn't it? They must have that, you know, the really thin plastic end of the T. That must be on the same as the, and it goes, boop, pops it through and then that comes out. You don't like it when they pop, like, labels through, like, undies and I, because I just rip them off and then it always rips a hole where I rip them. You've got to get a finger

on each side and bite it. Yeah, I don't know how I'm too rough. That's why you're not allowed nice things. It's in too much of a hurry so I'm so busy.

She's on Celebrity Treasure Island and she's joining us on the phone right now. Shannon Ryan, good morning. Good morning, Megan. How are you? I'm good. Now do you live in Oregon or you live in the United States now, right? Yeah, I do. I'm up in Oregon just on a little adventure. I'm actually right now on the fringe of this gorgeous temperate rainforest along

the coast standing in a tool shed trying to get reception to talk to you guys. My goodness, that is dedication, isn't it? Fully dedicated to life. Now, so tonight on Celebrity Treasure Island. You're doing the puzzle challenge. Yeah, and this could be it for you. It could be it, and I'm up against one of the most epic women on the show. I mean, Athena, she's already shown that she is a badass when it comes to puzzles.

So it's nail-biting for me. Although I don't have time to bite my nails because I'm busy puzzling. Trying to get through. You're pretty good at the challenges, though, because the one that sticks in my mind is when you, was it the balancing the cats where you did the yoga or one of them where you're just like your legs are

in the air and I was just like how are you even doing that? I know. I watched that back and I asked myself the same question. It's like right at the beginning I was stacking cubes with Rosanna Arkell. Yeah, yeah that's it. That's the one. Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah you don't lift something like that down once, that's it. That's the one. Oh, my God. Yeah.

Yeah, you don't lift something like that down once you've done it. It's a skill. Totally. Don't be ashamed. The relationships between all the females on the show seem to have been, like, really solid and encouraging and backing each other.

It seems to be the males that were the aggressors in certain situations. Is that a fear? Fear core? Oh, how the tides have turned, right? It used to be this dialogue that, the aggressors in certain situations. Is that a fair call? Oh, how the tides have turned, right? It used to be this dialogue that we're still against each other and all of that. But now, of course, we all bonded, you know. And that's just how it played out.

Our team, like in Kahu, we lost two of our guys quite early on. So it kind of leaned that way and bled out into, you know, kind of we're experiencing that in its out into, you know, kind of we're experiencing that in its finest form right now at the end of it all. But I am proud, actually, of how all of the women have conducted

themselves and supported each other. Yeah. Would you do one of these on the larger scale? Like, do you think you're ready for a survivor-esque? You guys are muck around straight to it. Yeah, actually. I said at the end, I said, Brie asked me, she goes, would you do it again?

I was like, hell no. I am over this. I want, you know, I want to just keep on, like, going. But I also want to go home. Literally within a few weeks after filming the show, I was like, can I go back and cook some rice and scrape some coconut? I missed the line.

Is that why you're in Oregon now? You've gone for the slightly colder version. You're just going to get out there in the wilderness. I know. You know that there is a bear. There's actually a bear that's creeping around trying to steal all of the apples. So we're on bear watch right now.

I was actually going to say the one thing that that has that I'll feed you doesn't is bears. It's actually a real life survivor, isn't it? Yeah. It is a real life survivor for me right now. Yeah, I do. When I get up at night to go to the bathroom or anything like that,

I am quite literally looking for bears and mountain lions trying to keep alive. When you were on the island, was Sam ridiculing you for the chanting to your face or were you only kind of... Oh, he had a bit of a laugh to my face. That's good. I knew that he wasn't really feeling it.

Yeah, yeah. But I didn't quite realise how silly it was until after. But, you know, he drew himself a nice little yoga mat in the sand and I think that's so brilliant. Are we allowed to say what it is or do we just draw it into the dust on the back of people's cars? The penis mat. The penis mat. Okay,

we can. Cool. Oh, well, good luck for tonight, Shannon. I'm sure we'll find out eventually who wins. Thanks for talking to us. I know you will. It's this week. Thanks, guys. Bye.

Watch out for the bears. Yes, please. I know, I know. I'm creeping around. It's like Goldilocks up in here. Fleshfauna Megan, the podcast, ZM. While I tell my story about my dog, Leo, please refrain from making jokes.

At least wait till the end. Collect your jokes and deliver them all at once at the end. Okay. Snide remarks throughout? Condescending. Clever digs. Would we say clever? I would.

So it was a lovely day over the weekend. Lovely weather. Oh sorry, that was a snide remark. So I decided to take Leo to the dog park. There's an area near our house that's like massive field and it's fenced off. The one in Hobsonville. The military base.

We went there. Should you be running around a military base? No, they've like sectioned it off. It's for doggies. Have they taken away the landmines? No, no, no. Currently they're taking away the asbestos. Lovely. Which I thought was nice of them. They'll put up a little fence saying, Are they taking away the landmines? No, no, no. Currently they're taking away the asbestos. Oh, lovely.

Which I thought was nice of them. They'll put up a little fence saying, ah, ah, ah, don't go in here. Asbestos. My dad walked past that and he was like, it's all concrete. There's no bloody asbestos in there. They just don't want you going in there. Classic old man saying.

He's like, have you been in there? Do you know for sure? No, it's just really stupid, isn't it? It would have been lined with asbestos. It was where they stored explosives. Yeah. Anyway, so we went to this dog park and because it was a lovely day,

sometimes you go there and there's not many dogs and you're like, oh, sorry, buddy. You just have to run around by yourself. But yesterday, because it was a lovely day, there was lots of dogs.

What time did you go? We went to the same one yesterday. Did you? Yeah. Cute. Yeah. We went at like three or four. Morning dog people.

Oh yeah, no. Afternoon. After the cafe's closed. Oh, of course. This sounds so boring. What are you just taking to this park and they run around? I love watching him interact with all the dogs. But don't they just try to hump each other and fight? Well, herein lies the problem.

So there's a big variety of, there was like heaps yesterday. And really big dogs, lots of dogs his size, little dogs. They were all running around having fun. Were the Alsatians there? No, there was no Alsatians. There's always Alsatians when we go. There's a big fluffy white one. Are you not getting confused when the police turn up?

Or are they German shepherds? No, I've seen the Alsatians before. Alsatians are German shepherds. Same thing. Yeah, right. They call them Alsatians before. Alsatians are German shepherds. Same thing. Yeah, right. They call them Alsatians because the Germans use them for things and one or two.

Oh, so it's less. Okay. It was a little less Germany. Right. Big fluffy white one. I don't know what that's called. There was a big, beautiful husky who was very friendly.

Actually very sociable with the little dogs. So like he'd run around and then the little dogs would get under his feet. So he'd jump over them. I was like very, like very. Understanding. Understanding of the little doggies. So she was beautiful.

And my dog, Leo, happened to think so too. So Leo was running around with the husky for quite a bit. And they were playing friendly. Like tails wagging was all good. Until Leo, who is a little dog and the husky is a big dog. Yeah, your dog's the size of like a rugby ball. Yeah. Leo.

Would that be a good comparison? Dimensions of a rugby ball. Yeah, probably. Leo mounted the husky. Ambitious. Very ambitious. He made it. Did he have a little step ladder?

No. And humped him. Humped the dog. And so I, both of us ran over and were like,

Leo, stop. Cut, oi. Cut it out. Cut it out. Cut it out. But everyone was laughing, like the owners. Cut. Oi. Cut it out. Cut it out. Cut it out. But everyone was laughing. Like, the owners were laughing. At Leo.

At Leo. I was so embarrassed. Because they have the coolest dog in the world. Like, it's even got a Game of Thrones dog. They've got the dog that's the closest to the wolves. Yeah. And, like, wouldn't you expect the husky to turn around and be like, but she was just standing there.

Not, like, very understanding of Leo, but he kept doing it. So the whole time in the dog park, I just had to keep running around trying to like swat him away from this husky. So your dog is a sex pet? Yes. You're going to need to get your dog banned from, well, it's probably already banned. There'll be a little poster up saying, please watch for this sex pest with his boogly eyes. Hey!

It does look like a sex pest. He's like, don't stand still too long, I'll hump you. I'm a sex pest. I'm Leo the sex pest. Because have you had him neutered? Does that make them less sex pesty? All his bits and pieces are done.

They're supposed to make them less aggressive, but apparently they do that to assert dominance on other dogs. So he's like, I found the biggest dog in the park. Little man syndrome. Little man syndrome. We all know a little fella who likes to bite off more than he can chew with the ladies. Bless. The ladies are very like that.

I give them a little pat on the head. They're like, oh, bless you. That was a nice try. That is offensive. You're being offensive to my dog and little men. Apologise to both. Little men will come in, they want to fight. I heard what you were saying about little men.

Put your jukes up. What are you? But I was, honestly, it was so embarrassing. And he kept doing it no matter how many times I swat him away. Would have been helpful if the dog had just swiped at him because then he would have stopped. But everyone else thought it was hilarious and was laughing at Leo. So I would love to know this morning when your pet has embarrassed you. Yeah, right.

Okay. It doesn't have to be a dog. It doesn't have to be humping. Probably will be a dog. Yeah. Okay. But maybe they've done something, yeah, while you've been in front of friends or people. What about talking birds?

You know how they say offensive things? What would you like to discuss about talking birds? You know how they say offensive things? What would you like to discuss about talking birds? They say offensive things, and you can't stop them saying rude things when people come over or something. You have to have taught them. Yeah, because they've heard it from you. If you're the sort of person that's teaching your birds swear words,

you're the sort of person that would have a visitor walk in and be like, hey, watch this. Stevie. I don't know why the bird's called Stevie. Say the swear word you say. Then Stevie says the swear word. Yeah. And they're like, ha, ha, ha, ha.

But that's it, right? Yeah, sure. If your bird swears, you've taught it to, so you're probably more stoked than it does. My dog Leo went to the dog park yesterday and ended up humping a husky. Leo is very small, but he still managed it. Highly embarrassing.

So I'd love to know when your pets embarrassed you and what they did. There are no shortage of text messages of people whose animals have embarrassed them. I probably can't read the story about the pet pig, but it involved a male pet pig becoming excited and then ending its excitement all over the farm worker's gumboots. Very embarrassing.

It was their first week on the job. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. My horse farts whenever it jumps, which is fine and home, but at competitions it'll be like, truck, truck, truck, jump. That would be you as a horse. Fart power.

A bit of extra fart power over the jumps. But do you ever, like, try to disguise or sneak out a fart with, like, if you were, like, walking down some steps or something like that? With a loud footstep. Yeah. Or a cough. Then it's funny when. On a loud footstep. Yeah. Or a cough. Then it's funny when there's one for each step.

Yeah. And if you do the whole staircase, you're like, I wish I hadn't disguised this, because that would have been quite a triumphant thing to hear. Yeah. And all its glory if someone was coming down the stairs behind. For sure. Stacey, when did your pet embarrass you?

Oh, humiliated. So we went to the beach. It was back when you're allowed to take your dog down to the beach. The good old days. Oh, I can't. Even bringing this up, I can't even believe this happened. He boosted over to the in-between the flags. He could have gone anywhere down the beach,

but he specifically went in-between the flags. So Stacey first got on him. But he went into like the shallows. It was beautiful. There's kids playing everywhere. And he just in the shallows, so like right where the wave just sort of breaks away, squats, massive dump, right in the flag.

And there's kids playing. And so I panicked. I'm a full-blown panic. I was like do I leave do I just walk away like it's not mine or do I

100% did I was like see ya Rod I'm out of here see ya Rod Rod that's my Rod I love that

if you yelled that out that would just make it look like you're saying goodbye to your dad see ya Rod he was running I was like Roderick I was screaming

and it was too late and it was too late. It was too late. And he squatted. He squatted and he dumped right in the flat. What is? But if you're yelling at your dog pre-squat, everyone knows it's your dog. I panicked. I panicked.

There's no textbook on this. You can't, you know, you don't know what to do. Yeah. And the worst part, the worst part, you know how sometimes they do that leg flick after they've done a pee? Yeah. Yeah, it's water, sand, there's kids. Like, oh.

Oh, Rod. Rod. Rod. Rod. Taryn, when did your pet embarrass you? We're walking, my friend and I were walking her little dash hound. And there was no lead. And then it saw a cat.

So it took off and chased this cat into a cat door of a random house. And then it stayed inside for three hours. We had to sit outside this house and wait for either the dog to come out or the owners to come home. And the owner came home first. Luckily, the owner was really understanding. But the dog had just been hanging out inside this random house for three hours chasing cats.

Oh my God. That was so embarrassing. Had the dash hound done any damage inside the house? No, she didn't do much damage, but she'd clearly just been snooping around this house, probably having a snooze. Ate the cat food, though, because the cat food was demolished.

That's the first stop. I mean, to get away from a dash hound, Probably having a snooze. Ate the cat food though. The cat food was demolished. That's the first stop. I mean, to get away from a dash and you've just literally got to jump up on a chair or a table, don't you? Really? Yeah. Taryn, thanks for your call. Some other text messages in. We were at the beach.

We watched in horror as our dog came out of the water, stood in the middle of a family who were laying down, shook himself all over them, and then weed on their belongings. Pretty horrendous. My dog cocked his leg and peed into a power socket at the vet's consulting room. Oh, my God. Amazingly, he didn't get electrocuted and die, resulted in smoke and then a fuse blowing and an electrician having to be called. Oh, gosh, there's so many.

Somebody said, I took my dog to a teddy bear's picnic. It was a bit weird when we first got there. It could obviously smell a rabbit. When it got let off its leash, it chased the rabbit out in front of the children where it pinned it, ripped its throat out, and then proceeded to death shake the rabbit to make sure it got it flicking blood and fur all through the... Teddy bear's picnic.

Oh, my God. That took a real turn, didn't it? We've got two big Leon burgers. Burgers? Leon burgers. You know those big, beautiful big dogs. We're at Pack and Save. They're on the back of the yurt.

Always get a crowd of people coming to look at the dog when we're out in public. Our big boy, Mac, in front of everyone, turned around so his butt was hanging off the side of the ute and proceeded to runny shit all the side of, down the side of the ute and all over the floor. Oh my God, these are so cute. They are, right? They look real fluffy. Yeah, super fluff.

Absolute big super fluffs. That ate a lot. My dog itself was the embarrassment. We acquired a puppy from an accident. It was a corgi that mated with a sleeping Saint Bernard. The Saint Bernard was the female.

Apparently, yeah, she was asleep while the corgi mounted. Oh, I've just googled what they look like. No, really? I think they're kind of like two kind of cute dogs. Wait, what's the blend called? A corgi thing.

Yeah. I saw some corgi huskies, which were surprisingly cute. No, they're not. Pomskies is a different thing altogether. It's a Pomeranian husky. Yeah. Oh, a corgi husky. A corgi husky.

The poor husky involved in that. If you were a husky You'd be like Oh look I'm quite beautiful and stuff I don't want to have to mate with that Oh my god they're pretty cute though The result of royal inbreeding for many years So many text messages

What have you got there? It's like a mini husky Husky mate at the span My dog ripped a duck to bits in Hagley Park. Oh, my God. And then the lady screamed at my mum that ducks mate for a lifetime, so you've just destroyed a duck family. Oh, jeez.

Somebody said, your pig story before, I joined the dots. I had a rabbit that did the same thing. Charlie was his name. He was free range, R.O.P. I don't know how he died. He'd run around. He'd come up, give you a quick hump and... A rabbit?

Yeah. Wow, okay. Charlie bit me. I want to Google, but I don't want to Google. Really? Yeah. Somebody else said they've got a husky. It's called hashtag

because they let their eight-year-old name it. But when you take it for a run and using voice commands, it's always embarrassing because you're like, hashtag stop.

Hashtag sit. Yeah. Hashtag run. That sounds like you're live commenting an Instagram post. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Today's fact of the day is that in Britain it is illegal to drive through a puddle with the intentions of splashing a pedestrian. It's actually illegal and you can get a £5,000 fine. Are you kidding? Uh-huh.

Under Section 3 of the Road Traffic Act 1998, it is a criminal offence to drive without reasonable considerations for other persons. And this includes any instance of driving through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed. Movie puddles. I know, movie puddles. Like that classic scene in a movie where the downtrodden character is walking home and a bus splashes him. What? Can they prove your intent though?

You can just be like, I didn't see the puddle or the person. Yeah, that's a good question. Because you've seen a few legal shows, haven't you? Yeah. You've seen a few legal shows. You have to prove my intent and that's hard to do In 2018 The police in St Ives

Cambridgeshire That's where they do the body scrub isn't it St Ives they do the body scrub Yes yes yes It was where that person was going to buy the body scrub When they met a man with seven wives Each wife had Seven cats each cat No sacks she had sacks the cats were in the sacks The cat had kittens body scrub when they met a man with seven wives. Yeah. Each wife had seven cats.

Each cat, no, sacks. She had sacks. The cats were in the sacks. The cat had kittens. Ridiculous. Transportation option for that many cats. But in St. Ives, they used public appeal to find a driver who splashed a woman and her two children

after they drove through a 25-foot-long puddle at excessive speed. In 2014, a 22-year-old man was banned from driving and fined 500 pounds after he drove through standing water soaking a woman and her two children as they walked to school. But the woman even said, I'm quite shocked at the punishment. I didn't think it would be. I just thought he'd get a ticket. Didn't know it would be 500 pence and also banned from driving.

Well, it's obviously a serious issue. In 2005, a motorist was fined 150 pounds and given three penalty points for driving through a two-inch puddle and soaking a workman. Okay. And in 2009, a motorist from Plymouth was questioned by police after posting a video clip of her soaking pedestrians on her social media page. Oh, so that's intent. That is the intent.

Yes, heading out for the grant. So do you think there would be something under our laws that would take care of that? I don't know. Because I've been in the car with you, Vaughan Smith, and you love a puddle. But I don't hit the puddle for the intention of wetting people. I just hit the puddle. Just because you love the spray to go everywhere. I love the thrill.

Yeah. I love the thrill. I say, kids, when I'm announcing it, I'll say what side of the car it's out. Okay. I'll be like, which side? Okay. Because, I mean, that may,

it's all because the kids change seats. Not because I'll go onto the wrong side of the road. Because I was always the seat behind the driver. That was my seat. Well, they toss it up. Do they? No. Me and my brother were always the same.

You always had the same seats. I just like that seat. I think we changed it up. Oh, okay. My sister always sat in the middle, but I think we changed. Right. Interesting. That explains my car sickness growing up.

I didn't have sort of a consistency with it. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but I'll call it sit in the middle, but I think we changed. Right. Interesting. That explains my car sickness growing up. I didn't have sort of a consistency with it. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, but I'll call it, I'll say puddle, Indy side, and then they'll look out that side, and then you hit the puddle. Right, an aquaplane into a power pole. Yeah, shut-ace screaming, don't be so stupid. And I'm like, you only live once. Woo!

I don't say YOLO, I actually say the whole phrase. Right, gives it a bit more. Yeah. Jenny say quat to the whole ordeal. So today's fact of the day is it's actually illegal to drive through a puddle causing pedestrians to be splashed in the UK. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Yeah. This is why I'm fat.

Our segment that looks at new food trends, new food items. And today it's back. Guess who's back? Yeah, is this allowed? Because it's technically not new. It's returning. Well, it's returning. Guess who's back? Yeah, is this allowed? Because it's technically not new. It's returning. Well, it's returning. And I tell you what, judging by the news post that I've seen on Facebook

with the thousands and thousands of comments already this morning, people are jazzed about this. People are excited. Caramilk is back. When? Today? If you go to the supermarket? Is it literally going to be there or are they teasing us?

Yeah. No, it is. It says today. Literally that. What? We're turning to Kiwi shelves. Why do they ever take it off the Kiwi shelves? Keep demand high.

Nationally from the 30th of September. Keep your throughing. No, they've sent us some blocks. That's why I thought it was out today. But yeah, so September 30th, so a week today. So next Monday it'll be in supermarkets around the country. That's a tease. And dairies.

What a tease, a week. But yeah, you're right. Why isn't it just always there? Because if it was always there, we wouldn't be so excited about it. But if it was always there, we'd eat more of it. Do you think so? Absolutely. Because everyone's going to panic by now.

Yeah, and it'll be on Trade Me like it always is. When they finish it again. Does it say how long it's out for? Limited release? No, it doesn't say how long. Just that it'll be available nationally. Because we got a lockbox the other day, and they said the key arrives Monday.

And can I have this lockbox? Why? It'll be great for the float at the market. You don't run a stall at the market. So just to keep all the cash in. I could use it for my float at the market. You don't even have a market. Well, what if I wanted to go to, what if I wanted to, Megan?

What are you going to sell? What if I wanted to start a stall? Of what? Advice. Born stall. Yeah, people can just come along, pay $5. Like in Charlie Brown, where they take the, yeah, they just listen to you.

You can just judge them. Yeah. Give them a snide comment. One day you might have an avocado store. That's true. One of the avocado trees at home is absolutely loaded

with the little buds on it. We're not talking about healthy food. We're talking about junk food here. Hey, ask my mum. She thinks avocados are very unhealthy. Yeah. Because they're so fatty.

That's what she learned at Weight Watchers in the 90s. Sticking with that advice. Sticking with it. Margarine's fine though, eh? To the day she dies. Well,

not much calories in that, mate. I mean, not much of anything really. That's the option. Well, our caramilk back Monday. This is wild.

Fat. This is wild. Fat. This is wild. This is wild. This is wild. Fat. This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fat. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan.

The podcast. ZM. I currently take vitamins to protect. There's like a vision shield to protect your eyes from blue light. Oh my, what a load of bullshit. Megan. You didn't pay for those, did you? It was a gift.

Okay, good. That's alright then. But it's hard. It's hard to quantify. Megan you didn't pay for those did you it was a gift okay good that's alright then but it's hard it's hard to quantify that's a hard one to quantify because you can't tell if it's working you know

because you're not really gonna it sounds like a loaded rubbish it's all that that thing is that you're thinking about it and you're taking something

so your mind's like well it's the placebo effect that's the word I'm after yeah you think it must be doing something so in your mind you're like something, so your mind's like, well, it's the placebo effect. That's the word I'm after. Yeah. You think it must be doing something, so in your mind you're like, it's doing something. That's not for everything. Vitamins do good as well.

Oh, yeah, but what's in the vitamins for the protection from the blue light in your screen? Lutein. Gluten? No, lutein. Oh, I think that's how you say it. That's an airport, isn't it? L-U-T-E-I-N, lutein.

L-U-T-E-I-N. Yeah, right. Lutein. Yeah, so I don't know if they're working or not, but it turns out that maybe. Oh, lutein is produced by plants that give fruits and vegetables a yellow to reddish colour. It's a powerful antioxidant and defends the body

against unstable molecules and late 90s rock band, the Free Radicals. The new radicals. Ah! Damn it! Damn it! Close, close. Good knowledge of the 90s though.

Yep. So we've always been told that light from your phone can disrupt your cicadian rhythm. Yep. And can disrupt your sleep and your internal body clock and then messes with your eyes. A blue light's not good for you. It turns out, now this guy is a professor. Professor Russell. disrupt your sleep and your internal body clock and then messes with your eyes, the blue light's not good for you. It turns out, now this guy is a professor, Professor Russell.

He is the director of the University of Oxford Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute. So he knows his stuff. He has said that it is extremely unlikely that the light will affect sleeping patterns as the lights are generally too weak. He says that this has been overstated. So light exposure does set our circadian rhythm or internal body clock, though he said it needs to be a large volume of light over a significant period of time.

Like getting home, having dinner and then watching Netflix for hours and hours and hours and getting into bed and watching your screen for hours and hours. Would that be enough? I don't even know if that would be a large enough volume of light. After you've been staring at your computer screen all day? It would need to be just having the lights on. Yeah, right. Or the sun.

I was in the Ukraine. Where is this going? There was an explosion. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah. Nothing to worry about. Okay. Only 3.4 Ro explosion. Yeah, right. Okay, yeah. Nothing to worry about. Okay. Only 3.4 Rooten.

Yeah. And I looked into the light of a nuclear meltdown, Megan. Would that be enough light to affect me? Right. Yeah, I think you'll sleep forever. Yes! Shortly after. Finally!

You'll have a really long, deep sleep. You'll be glowing green as well. But then I can nap quite happily in the sun, and that is the provider of all light. Yeah, I think that's just because you're knackered. Right, right, right, right. So that's the key. Overtired.

That's the key to getting a good night's sleep, kids. Be tired. Be tired. And so just go back to looking at our phone before bed. Yeah. Well, Professor Russell says it's fine. Well, Professor Russell says it's fine. Well, I shall ask no further questions.

Zeggings, Fletch, Vaughan Russell says it's fine. Well, Professor Russell says it's fine. Well, I shall ask no further questions.
