Treat yourself to McAfay coffee with my Mecca's rewards.

Hello and welcome to Fact of the Day of the Week.

This week, Vaughn digs through the mail sack

and stamps his authority on Stamp Week.

It's time for...

FACT OF THE DAY DAY DAY DAY DAY

Now...

OK, now we will...

I need help... tech help because my watch...

I bumped it yesterday and it went under a weird setting

and now it dings every time it's out.

Well, we'll help you out.

How do I turn it off? Turn it down, man.

Oh, hon.

Now on Thursday, our live show is happening

at Auckland SkyCity Theatre-

Not by my dear buddy.

Haley chomping at the bit.

It's gonna be a great night.

You love the stage.

Vaughn and I are just like, this is gonna be quite weird.

Don't be nervous.

I feel Vaughn will have a couple of wiskies, remember?

Like, attention to me!

Ebb.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I was gonna have a Zoplacan cocktail.

No, no Zopies.

Is it not Zopies?

No, that's not Zopie appropriate.

It's the anxiety ones.

Oh, no, you can't have any bloody...

Azeni.

No, no, no.

It's just a low grade one.

It's beautiful.

It's beautiful.

Lores, Lores!

You're not...

No.

Well, anyway, we're gonna do the fact

that the day Jingle Live...

Lores!

I don't think Haley's your doctor either.

We're gonna do the fact that the day Jingle Live,

all the stuff we do on the show, live on stage,

if you would like to come,

we've got a double pass right now.

You do have to be able to make it to Auckland on Thursday,

this Thursday.

A double pass, I'll 800 Dahls at him right now.

We'll give it to you.

Did we see the fact of the day yet?

Yeah, we did.

Yeah.

At the end, you were getting fresh air with your watch.

I didn't, right?

You're all right, Grandpa.

Hey, you're all good.

You're all good.

Someone put me to bed.

Okay.

Do you know what this show...

I mean, the live show will be interesting

as Air Vaughan can even just know where he is.

Come with me, that's all I'll say.

Come with me.

So, we've sung the song.

Just to confirm we've sung the song.

Now, today's fact of the day, and a theme this week...

Stamps.

You should probably run the themes past us

I'm gonna say I'm not immediately turned on by this.

Because I think if this isn't a good fact,

we won't have a theme this week.

Yeah, we'll change it.

We'll change it.

Permission to left turn.

Stamps.

Okay, go.

My great uncle had a stamp collection

and it was in this shed.

This isn't the fact,

but he had the stamp collection.

One of our kids, we thought it was funny

and we would like pull these...

He just put it in the shed,

so he kind of loved it that much.

But it was probably worth a fortune.

We used to pull the stamps out, lick them

and stick them to ourselves and be like,

Australia.

And then they'd fall off and we'd just run around this.

Oh, look at this collection.

He had this massive old shed.

He had Cuban cigars in there.

Yeah.

And when we were kids, we had matches

and we'd light them on fire and blow into them and be like,

Hey, shriek, shriek.

And then probably just dropped them on the ground

and we were lucky we didn't burn the place down.

Oh my God.

It was this nuts shed.

We had no appreciation for it.

It sounded like we were getting choked up.

I'm not emotional.

We were just...

Anyway, that's what I always think of

when I think of stamps.

How many stamps did he make?

That was our friend telling us she got a snapper.

Well, I just want my watch to stop making the dinging noise.

It's never made this noise before.

Oh, I can fix it.

Mine did it for a while.

We'll sort it out after this.

Okay, I just kept...

You need to put it on silent.

So, I learned this and I thought it stands so good.

I know it's going to be obvious when I find out how to do it.

It's not on silent.

No, because I know that's not right.

It's actually solid out for you.

We've got it.

Mine did it for a while as well.

Okay, please.

We'll sort this out afterwards.

I was listening to a podcast and they started talking about stamps.

And I was like, this is fascinating.

And this is where I learned today's fact of the day about stamps.

One of the main reasons they started printing stamps

for a non-practical purpose collection,

they started printing specific collector stamps,

is because technically,

you're just giving the post office money that you...

It's like buying a voucher for a place and being like,

man, I like the look of this voucher.

I'm never spending it.

Oh, yeah, okay.

So they made millions...

The US have made millions and millions of dollars,

and the same with the New Zealand Post Office.

They make way more money off collector stamps

because it's a voucher technically you're never going to spend.

I see, I see, I'm with you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not actually going to cash in it's purpose.

You never cash it in as a voucher.

But some stamps in some collections have been sent in the past day.

Yes, yes.

But that's why I'm keeping all my courier bags,

because I reckon one day they're going to be with...

You got that drawer full of courier bags.

Yeah, because I reckon like 2,120.

Yeah.

I'll be like, look, this is an original...

This is post-haste.

This is PBT.

This is NZ Post.

This is from the now defunct Aramex.

They popped up and made an absolute meal of it.

Yeah, they did.

They were throwing packages left, right in center.

You can see here, this one's got scuff marks on it

because they booted it up the corridor.

Wow, cool, man.

I reckon, follow that.

Yeah, I've got them all in a little folder.

Cool.

Well, it's going to be really good.

Thank you.

I look forward to that.

Yeah.

Who are you going to leave it to?

You don't have children.

Well, do you want me to leave it to you?

Oh, yes, please.

Oh, get in line, mate.

Oh, yeah.

Put it in a shed, mate.

Put it in a shed with your Cubans and the guys,

and I'll get my kids to go on and put their feet in it

and scuff around the place.

Yeah, so the first time this happened for the US,

they released a stamp and they noticed it sold all of these.

It was an out...

One of the biggest ones that happened to it was an Elvis stamp.

Oh, yeah.

This massive...

The rule was you had to be dead for 10 years before you could be on a stamp

and you had to be a person of political or cultural influence.

Like David Seymour.

Perfect, but he hasn't been dead for 10 years.

But so when and...

Ha ha ha!

Gary, oh.

Gotcha, gotcha.

God, they both just crossed their fingers.

Stop it.

Gotcha, gotcha.

You're in trouble, that could be the deputy prime minister come next week.

He'll have you both executed.

And then you wait 10 years and you can be on a stamp.

So 10 years after Elvis died in 1987...

Thank you for saying that we have cultural influence.

A big cultural influence.

10 years after Elvis died, the debate started on

if they were going to have old fat Elvis or young hot Elvis on a stamp.

Young hot, Joe, what's wrong?

One, young hot one by miles.

So they got on a stamp and they noticed that all of these stamps were purchased,

they weren't getting put into the circulation.

Right.

And they're like, we have just made so much money releasing that stamp.

And because nobody was collecting the boring stamps,

it was hard to convince people to collect George Washington stamps.

And we're like, we've had George Washington stamps for ages.

So they released the Elvis one and people just bought it and just kept them.

Yeah, right.

And so technically it was like, you've just bought the right to use something

that you'll never use so it's cash in the back pocket.

Yeah, totally.

So that's the way they do it.

Yeah, right.

That's why they release commemorative stamps that they will never be sent

because it's just basically like you're buying a voucher that you will never redeem.

Do we want Stamp Week to continue?

Tease me for tomorrow.

You're not sure.

I'm not sure.

Morgan, you've won a double pass to the live show.

Congratulations.

Hello, thank you.

So we'll see you there.

Yeah, going to be fun.

Exactly.

OK, thank you.

Toodle pip.

Toodles hon.

Toodle pip.

Toodle pip, hurrah.

Toodle pip, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.

So today's fact of the day is that

collectible stamps make the post office so much money

because people buy them but never use them.

It's not a Stamp Week.

It's not happening tomorrow.

Oh, one hundred percent.

No, it's not a week this week.

Or maybe we'll have to put up a poll.

I'm not asking the people.

The people have no say.

You have no say.

Today's fact of the day is about the world's most expensive stamp.

It's Stamp Week.

It's Stamp Week here, in fact.

For all the flat lists, is that what they're called?

Flat to lists.

OK.

Just listen to it.

I've said it and I've written it down phonetically

and I still can't say it.

Stamp click to stamp fans.

The world's most expensive stamp is the British Guyana 1

cent magenta.

That is a color it is.

The story behind the stamp was in Guyana,

they were waiting in 1856 for a shipment of stamps.

Shipment of stamps.

The ship got shipwrecked and the stamps never arrived.

The ship with the stamps got shipwrecked.

The ship with the stamps got shipwrecked and the stamps.

At sea, yes.

So the local postmaster said, we're going to print our own.

Now there were two types.

There was the 1 cent magenta, which was just

stuck onto newspapers when newspapers delivered.

Did you know that for a start?

It's stamps on newspapers.

The stamp on the newspaper to get the newspaper delivered.

You didn't get to have that at the NZ Herald?

No.

Deliveries included.

And the biggest stamp was four letters and such.

It was the 4 cent magenta and 4 cent blue.

Anyway, it got to the point where they weren't arriving

and they wanted to get this installed.

So the postmaster general said to the people

who were printing the paper, just print some stamps as well.

I'll give it a signature.

Tickety boo.

Lick it, stick it.

Very rare, these stamps, because soon after another shipment

of stamps arrived on a ship that didn't get shipwrecked.

They didn't get shipwrecked?

No, shipwrecked.

Shared through the sheets with no problems at all.

And it arrived, so there weren't many of these stamps out there.

In 2014, the stamps sold at Sotheby's auction

for $9.48 million US dollars.

What?

And the buyer was a high-end shoe designer, Stuart

Weltsman, who simply tucked the stamp into his pocket

in his little protective sleeve and off he went.

It has sold again since.

It sold, that guy, Stuart Weltsman, sold it in 2021,

took a loss, took a hat, $8.3 million.

Oh, it was the market down.

Yeah, the market was down on stamps.

So then I was like, who else has owned the stamp?

And I scrolled back and I think the most interesting owner

of the stamp is the man who was the heir to the DuPont

Fortune, DuPont chemical brand.

Yeah.

They do non-stick?

They're the people that do non-stick?

Teflon.

Maybe they've got a Teflon-y product.

So he purchased the stamp in 1980.

John Ethelware DuPont.

Oh, great name.

Purchased it for $280,000.

Oh, no, he purchased it for more than $280,000.

Sorry, the person before him purchased it for $280,000.

And the interesting thing is the stamp got passed on out

of his collection because he went to prison for murder, murder,

murder, and he died in prison.

He was the man he murdered.

His name was Dave Schultz.

He was an American Olympic and world champion freestyle

wrestler, seven time world and Olympic medalist.

And the movie Foxcatcher is based on his life.

Foxcatcher was a 2014 film.

Yes.

Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo.

Mark Ruffalo played the murdered wrestler.

And Steve Carell played the heir to the DuPont fortune

who owned the world's most expensive stamp.

I don't think it's doing it for me, I'll be honest.

I caught me back in with that film

because it was a great film.

The man who owned the world's most expensive stamp

went to prison for murdering an Olympic champion wrestler.

By the way, motive unknown.

They never proved the modesty.

Have you seen the film?

Oh, you've got to see it's a great film.

Does it end with this murder?

I can't remember.

Does it end with this murder?

Yes.

Or does it end pre-murder?

No, it's in the middle, I think, for memory.

So yeah, he's murdered spoiler alert.

Spoiler alert for the film.

God, the stamp he died in prison.

And then he died in prison.

Yeah, it is truly wild.

It's wild.

OK.

So he's the heir to the DuPont fortune

with a penchant for stamps, but also wrestling,

but then murdered a wrestler and then died in prison.

So today's factor today is the world's most expensive stamps.

I had some very interesting owners.

Play, Presidents, Fletch, Vaughn and Haley.

And a stamp or philatelist week.

Philatelist.

Philatelist.

That's a stamp collector, a fan of stamps.

I don't know if Haley and I have been completely

on board with stamp week, but you've been receiving

a lot of correspondence from philatelists.

It's one of those ones for people that are phalanges.

Phalanges.

Yeah, philatelics that are into it are into it.

So I've been getting emails.

I got an email yesterday from Daniel,

who works for philalic distributors in New Plymouth.

Oh, beautiful.

In New Plymouth.

We love New Plymouth.

You love New Plymouth.

And he said, great work on stamp week.

Oh, great.

Well, you know what?

I'm happy for things to not always be for me or about me.

For five minutes of each day.

Now could you explain that to Fletch?

Five minutes of each day.

Five minutes of each day, right?

Sorry, I don't comprehend.

Yeah, he Fletch doesn't comprehend.

I'm not computing.

Non-comprende, sorry.

See, puppy, non-comprende.

He said, if you're seriously going to do stamp facts a week,

I've got a couple of good ones.

Oh, nice.

An Oltero in New Zealand.

The first is, I heard you talk about

the world's most expensive stamp.

Well, what about New Zealand's most expensive stamp?

Oh my God, what about it?

Because the most expensive New Zealand stamp,

and then he says some brackets without getting technical,

although I wouldn't mind if it got technical.

Without getting, what is, okay.

It was for the night, it is the 1949 HMS Vanguard stamp.

It was a stamp that was made for a Royal Tour of New Zealand

that was cancelled at the last minute

and till it never happened.

Because of COVID.

Okay.

Yeah.

King George got sick.

The Queen's father got sick.

I learned this when I was-

Was he the stuttering one?

Yes.

Yeah, in the King's speech.

The King's speech one.

Correct, great history, good knowledge.

Good knowledge.

Well, I also learned that they had all this stuff

sort of at government house for this visit that never happened.

Right.

Because of course, when a Royal visit

was happening back in the day,

the preparation was years in the making.

Oh yeah, you don't use your bloody Kmart cutlery.

Oh no, no, no, no.

Everything was made especially for it,

and there was like these chairs that were at government house

that were made by the mareses from around New Zealand.

Your Kmart chip plates

would have had to been replaced for the Queen's visit.

Oh my God, it'd be so unfair.

I like to keep it real.

Not even good enough for us, let alone the kids.

Those also weren't Kmart plates.

Those were Briscoe's plates.

Oh, right.

They had real Kmart energy just because of all the chips.

Yeah.

So I'm always now, well, we've got the plates.

I'm seeing how long they last.

Yeah, totally.

It's a different game now.

One's got a visible crack through it,

and I'm like, how many more dishwashers

are you going to get?

Your wife has still not invited Haley and I back

for any kind of dinner.

We've literally never been invited back for dinner.

Ever since we mentioned the chip plates.

We were actually cleaning the pool the other day,

and the girls were helping me.

And they pulled a cork out of the pool,

and they held it up, and they were like, ha!

Another sign from the night that Haley and that came.

And then walked inside, and they were like, guess what?

We just found and held up a cork,

and Trudy looked in, and she looked confused,

and they were like, we all know where this is from, mother.

Did it have Rufino on it?

Definitely a Rufino cork.

It was.

Multiple reasons you're not getting invited back.

So the stamp was made for the royal tour

that was cancelled on the last minute.

It never happened.

So then the post office is like, destroy those stamps.

Oh.

Why?

Because there were, apart from a few,

that a guy in charge of the destroying them took them home

and popped it in his pocket.

But why couldn't you just use them?

Well, because I guess it was just the pomp and ceremony of it.

It was going to be released on the day they arrived,

and the vanguard was the ship they were coming on,

and there was another in the set.

There was the who became the queen,

Princess Elizabeth at the time,

and her sister, who was Mary Kate.

Mary Kate and Ashley.

That's it.

That's who we're on the steps.

Which is Margaret, right?

Margaret and Elizabeth.

Yeah, because her oldest daughter's Ann.

Yes.

Yes, right.

So I haven't seen those seasons of The Crown,

so I'm a little bit behind, guys.

The best one is...

Well, it's also just history, hon.

It's not just a TV show.

It's crazy.

Mary Kate and Elizabeth Olson go to Paris.

Yeah, it actually happened.

Really?

Yeah.

Have we heard about the crown that they're going to have

a ghost of Princess Diana in the next season?

Mary Kate dies in the tunnel.

No.

No, Mary Kate's still alive.

It's the one that played the scarlet witch, the third Olson.

Okay.

Okay.

I'd like to catch up with The Crown.

Yeah.

Catch up with these royals.

So the Vanguard, the HMS Vanguard Stamps.

Wait, they had Netflix in 1945.

Only the rich people.

Yeah, but it was the ones we had to email.

You get a DVD sent to you in the past.

Okay.

And then you had to go to the cinema to see it.

Right, okay.

So the guy that was in charge of destroying them took them.

Sneaky bucket.

Hence is only a few.

If you were ever in charge of destroying something,

always keep a copy.

Because there's always keep a few.

Always keep a copy.

The last one sold for $67,850.

Oh, wow.

Sorry, how much?

$67,850 for a New Zealand stamp.

70K.

Yep.

That's ridiculous.

That's a house deposit.

Doesn't that good stuff?

That's good stuff.

On a stamp.

Just one stamp.

One stamp.

Yes.

Not even a collection of stamps.

No, the one stamp.

HMS Vanguard.

All the flotatidists are like, who's laughing now?

Yeah.

You laughed at us, Britney Stamps.

Who's laughing now?

And Daniel also said,

if you ever do a trading card week,

hit me up.

No, we're all good.

Thank you, Daniel.

Your time's.

Yeah.

So absolutely full of facts.

So we'd like to thank Daniel

and the rest of the people there

and that

they're distributors.

Pythagoras theorems and what not.

Yeah.

All of those guys for that very interesting,

locally homegrown fact of the day

that New Zealand's most expensive stamp

was supposed to be destroyed.

It was a stamp of a ship

that the king was supposed to come on

and he never did, and it lasts on for $67,000.

Yeah!

Play Zed Em's Fletch for the Nailie.

Play Zed Em.

This week is Stamp Week at Stamped in the Day,

and we're not gonna do a Stamp Fact at the live show

because we thought that was lame.

No, we didn't think that was lame.

Hailey and I-

Well, we are letting you have the space this week.

Yep.

And we have accepted that not everything

about this world is about me and us.

Yep.

And that's a learning thing for me, you know?

And that's a real moment of learning.

Yeah, and you've taken it on board,

but Fletch still can't understand it.

How anything in this world isn't specifically for him.

Not computing, yeah.

It's like I've got an era.

Look at it, he literally, as you do the Fact of the Day,

he literally poises his finger-

He hovers.

On the mouse.

To click us out to the next bar.

That's a very disappointing.

Well, if you've been listening to Stamp Week,

you'll now have heard from a Stamp Collector,

Daniel, who is based in New Plymouth.

And boy, he has heard from people far afield.

He's heard, someone messaged him saying,

oh my God, I listened to this podcast.

I'm in Singapore.

Oh my goodness.

And I've heard them touting this,

the Stamp Facts, I too love stamps.

Unreal.

Wow.

Isn't this amazing?

We've gone big in the stamp world.

Just like stamps.

Yep.

Fact of the Day about stamps,

it's connecting the world.

Yeah, good.

As stamps did.

But today's stamps,

not about the stamps themselves,

but the little postmarks.

Oh yeah.

You know what postmarks are?

The ones that go, get printed, stamped over the stamp.

Over the stamp.

So you can't reuse them.

Yeah.

Well, it's origin, really.

Yeah, right.

It's the first people to process it,

put a stamp mark on it, right?

So you know where it came from.

Yeah, that's right.

But also, I went over the stamps,

so you couldn't cheeky peel them off and use them again.

But most New Zealand stamps aren't so rare,

but some of our postmarks are.

But for example, 100 years ago,

do you know there were 100 different post offices

in the Taranaki region alone?

This was shocky, Vaughn.

I did not know that.

How hard is it to find a bloody post office these days?

It's always bummed in the back of a dairy.

It's always bummed or pharmacy.

And then there you can get a lotto,

you can get a bag of chips,

and you can get a prescription,

and a couple of stamps or one of those,

but overpriced bags to send you goodies.

They bung it in the back,

but then you go to get a courier bag,

but the person's dispensing stiffy pills,

and then you're waiting, but then they-

Bona pills and a dollar max.

No, but then they go to the counter

and sell some on a Coke Zero,

and then they have to go to the other counter

to sell some on some Strepsils,

and then they come to you.

It's a lot.

And then you're like,

I'm gonna pay with Airpods,

and they're like, come over here.

Yes, they go around there.

This is the world we live in, no.

We only accept check at this counter.

Can I get some cash out?

Cause I just, while I was waiting,

I was lured in by the scratchies.

And I got a real good feeling about that one.

Different term and all for the scratchies too.

Yeah, oh yeah.

Well, it depends what scratchies as well.

You might even go to the pharmacist in the back

if you got the scratchies.

Cause they bung a lotto store in places now too.

Everything's bunged into something else.

It's all bunged in.

Bungry bung bung, bunged in there.

So there used to be 100 different post offices

in Taranaki, all with their own post markets,

cause they didn't bung anything in.

You don't know exactly.

I know they were stand alone.

It was a busy, it was a busy time.

So they all had different post marks.

And so they become collectors of them.

The most valuable ones are the ones that were open

for a very limited time.

And even when the royal visit happened,

a lot of stamps connected to the royal visits.

1935, there was a royal visit to New Zealand.

There was a Royal train.

So the train went down the old main trunk line.

And when they got to a place and they needed to go,

then they'd have a car waiting for them

and then go back and then they'd come back

to the Royal train.

There was a special post mark for the Royal train.

If anybody on the train wanted to see some mail,

a special post mark, I got him.

I got him.

Did you see that look on his face?

He likes trains.

He likes trains.

And now he imagines, you know what else you're imagining?

They can't afford to stop all the time for the post.

They hang it up the window on a bag.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

And they snatch it off and they pick it up and they go.

That's what he's thinking of.

Well, what's today's fact there?

Well, no, no.

Well, I'm about to tell you at the moment,

for sale on trade me,

there is a stamp here from the Royal train.

See, this is the post mark here.

It says Royal train, 10th of January.

$189.

Yeah, that's a 10th of January.

What are you going to do with that?

1935, the 1 p.m. pickup.

And it says it was happening in New Zealand.

The stamp up here, you might be thinking,

that's the one that's worth it.

That's trash.

But that Royal post mark on there from 1935,

currently on trade me at $189.

And another universe, if we met on a hot date

and I brought you back to my place

and I was like, you'll never guess what I've got.

And I got out the Royal stamp thingy

that Vaughn just showed us on trade me for $189.

I'm getting an Uber.

I'm ordering an Uber.

It's ordered.

I would, if I...

Nah, I'm already at your house.

You know, we'd go through with that.

But I wouldn't be staying the night.

Okay.

Would you not just be like...

All the way there, you live quite high up

in your apartment building.

Crafts you this amazing yarn about the Royal train

in the 1935 visit and a special train on the track.

It's not doing anything for me.

Your bone is gone.

To be fair, on my first date with Aaron,

I showed him marching and said, watch this.

And he watched hours of it.

Oh, yeah, but guys will do a lot.

Yeah, he got what he, you know.

Yeah.

I paid him the price.

Yeah.

Well, he knew your timing was on.

Yeah.

He was like, gosh, he's got good rhythm.

Yeah.

Yeah, should give a constant.

And a hell of a set of legs on it.

Constant move, constant move, constant move.

So today's fact of the day is it's not always,

if you see a stamp for sale,

it's not always the stamp that's the valuable part.

Sometime it's the postmark from a short lived post office.

Ah!

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day.

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo,

doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo.

Play it, two-dim, splits, born in Ailey.

Thank you very much for joining us for Stamp Week.

It's been improved.

It's been a great ride.

There's been ups, there's been downs.

Yeah.

There's been licking, there's been self-adhesive.

You've been rocking the stamp world.

I've just been, I think I am a rock star of the stamp world now.

Yeah, it's good.

Ah, people are hearing from all over.

Daniel, who's pretty much provided me with a whole week of facts,

apart from Monday, where I shot for the stars.

And he's just filled in all the gaps.

I'd like to thank him.

Yeah.

Because I did have a different fact lined up for today,

but then he was like,

my wife's just reminded me of another stamp fact.

Oh, great.

So this guy loves stamps, trading cards, and he's married.

He's found his, he's found his, he's found his,

he's found his stamp, mate.

Yeah.

But what's the, um...

Lick, mate.

Lobster.

Lobster.

He's found his lobster.

Isn't that the lobster's mate for life?

Isn't it lobster's?

No, they're penguins?

Penguins, too.

Beavers, it's beavers.

It's not beavers.

They are pro-miscuous.

Oh, beavers hold hands when they sleep.

Penguins make the life.

No, they're otters.

They hold hands when they don't drift away from each other.

It is otters.

Beavers build dams.

Where have you been?

I've been chewing down trees.

What was the cartoon about beavers?

Two angry beavers.

Two angry beavers.

Two stupid dogs and angry beavers.

Two great cartoons.

Spend some time, get it, get it familiarized.

He said, Daniel said the, about New Zealand health stamps.

These were the stamps that were released

to fund different things.

And the first one was 1929.

And it was a health stamp.

And when you bought it, you helped stamp out tuberculosis.

Oh, I see what they did there.

Oh my God, stamp it out.

Yes, stamp out tuberculosis.

So this went on, started in 1929,

the New Zealand health stamp.

But then the last one they did was just recently.

This kind of carried on throughout time.

There wasn't money for different health issues.

We had a big problem though in 1996.

You guys will be familiar with this.

Where it was about children's health.

Old man's bed.

Old man's bed, must go.

Must go, that's what it was.

It was getting into the...

What's old man's bed?

Must go, well, you wouldn't know

because we got rid of it as kids.

Thank you.

We made us...

Yeah, they made us walk Riverways and pull it down.

We pulled it all down.

So when you think about it,

it was quite cunning then, wasn't it?

They had child labor.

They still do it.

Do they?

Yeah, my kids went on a planting day.

And they were ridding the country of weeds.

Oh no, they were planting.

Oh, right.

They were planting, okay.

They were weeding.

Yeah.

They should get like the PD, you know,

when you drink, driver, they make you do community service.

I saw someone the other day

who had a community service based on.

I was like, oh, hon.

They tow around when they do the side of the road,

they tow around a portaloo.

Have you seen them tow around the portaloo?

No.

So if you're caught short,

you don't just openly waas on the side of the road anymore

when you're picking up rubbish.

Right.

They tow around a portaloo so you can use that.

Well, the big problem was in 1996,

the stamp came out

and Plunkett went off.

Right.

Plunkett went off.

Why?

Because the way that the stamp was made,

made it look like the child was in a front-facing car seat.

Oh, I know.

We don't do that.

Because there was a bear included.

So there was a teddy bear wearing a standard seatbelt.

And then the kids holding a bear.

No, and then the kids having a bear.

Plunkett weren't happy about that.

So they got rid of that.

Okay.

But what was wrong with that?

They tied him up.

The baby is facing forward,

whereas the law has just changed

where babies have to be in backward facing.

Yeah, right.

So this is a stamp that could be worth some money

because it was another one of these stamps that got out

and then I had to be recalled.

I'm happy that the stamp week's over.

Yeah, look, I know a lot of people have liked it.

But a minority.

A minority of people have liked it.

And it's important to represent the minority of stamp collectors.

But next week maybe run the week of fast faster.

Yeah, can we get something sexy next week?

That's my request.

You choose what it is.

Longer rate week.

Longer rate week.

Well, I just had a bunch of bras show up, didn't I?

Yeah.

So that's perfect.

There you go, bra week.

Longer rate week.

Yeah.

We're talking the bras.

Facts about the lingerie.

So today's fact.

You know what?

It could happen.

Okay, lock it in.

Today's the mono bosom.

Let's do that on Monday, the mono bosom.

Where's your nap?

Say no more.

Get it home from them and start taking it off.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

That's one.

It's sort of a cyclops tit.

Sort of a situation.

Yeah.

But I love your breast.

Great tit.

No, but see, cyclops would indicate one central breast.

Whereas mono bosom is like a mono brow.

It's two that have become a joint in the middle.

Oh, like a ball.

Like a, like a.

You know what I mean?

Like a bar.

Like a bar of breasts.

Today's.

I've got a fancy idea.

Today's fact of the day.

Is that in 1996,

the Plunket went off because a stamp was showing a child

and a Ford-facing car seat.

Oh, fact of the day.

Day, day, day, day.

Ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du.

Ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du, ddu-du.

Da, da, da, da, da-da!

Is that the podcast done

because I'm blasting for a pose?

I was thinking for a pose, Jesus.
