Hello and welcome to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, brought to you by McCafé. Grab yourself a delicious barista-made coffee for only $4. ZM. Head music. Lucy M. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Wow. 320 contacts. Of the, uh, this is just a common cold, by the way. This isn't, nobody panic. Right, okay. This is the panic.

320 people have come in contact with these two lovable rogues with COVID-19. How close contact, like literally touched? Well, a couple, they kissed and hugged. So these two women released early from their quarantine, told to drive straight to Wellington from Auckland. They got lost in Auckland. Some friends came to help them, and then they hugged and kissed them to thank them.

I thought they hugged and kissed the friends that came and sorted out the rental car. I think they also helped them get on the right track. Oh, and then they helped them. Right, okay, okay. Because, yeah, I was talking to my dad last night and he's got a cold too.

I was like, oh, we've all got the cold. He's like, yeah, I think it's a colder. Anyway, did I tell you about the weekend? I helped these lovely ladies find their way to Wellington.

And I was like, that's very good from you. Very good. It was, of course, joking. Yeah. He didn't. So they've worked out what 320 close contacts that they need to track down.

God. People on the plane, people in the hotel. What were these women thinking, though? I don't know. They were obviously thinking they were fine. Well, one of them wasn't. Yeah. And she knew that.

Oh, my. It just makes me so angry. Yeah. Well, I think it's not going to help us now. I'm just a little bit worried about them, to be honest. I know, people find it, they will get lynched. Yeah, that's not a good thing. I'm surprised, the Prime Minister's so calm, eh? Like, if I was her.

In front of us. In front of everybody, yeah, but if I was her, I would have come out and just said, I'm really pissed off. And just given a real angry. She needs to remain calm so we all don't panic. Yeah, but if I was her, I would have come out and just said, I'm really pissed off. And just given a real angry... She needs to remain calm so we all don't panic. Yeah, exactly. Because have you seen what happens in the world

when a world leader is like a loose cannon? Yeah, no. America happens. Yeah. You went to school with her. Did you ever see her like fire up? At like... I can't think of a better word than like injustices.

Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, she got fired up and that sort of stuff. But not like screaming, yelling, throwing a tantrum. No, she's very, yeah. She's always been pretty calm. Calm demeanour. Yeah. Imagine what that would be like.

Having a calm demeanour? Yeah. I can't imagine. No, you can't. Because I would have been yelling at Ashley. I would have been yelling at everybody. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you would. What did she would have been yelling at Ashley. I would have been yelling at everybody. Yeah. Yeah, you would. What did she describe

when she was talking about David Clark that time? She gave him the charity of her silence. Ouch. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway, we've got the top six coming up on the show. Yeah, there's underway a British free trade agreement

between New Zealand and Britain. So I've got the top six things we could swap the British for. Like we could do swapsies. Oh, okay. Yeah. Some things we don't want. A lot of things we don't want.

All right, next though. We're going to talk about one of our favourite celebrities. You can have time with them. You can go on technically a date with one of our favourite celebrities. Ooh, okay. Get your pennies out though. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast.

ZM. One of the greatest humans to walk this earth. Oh my god, I'm right here. This is a little awkward, but go on, I'll hear you out. No, definitely not you. Oh, that's rude. He's one of our collective favourite celebrities.

Yep. And he is offering up 15 minutes of his time online so you can have a Zoom chat with Keanu Reeves. Oh. This is, of course, for charity

because it's Keanu. Of course. A gentleman. Yes. A scholar. A scholar. We always say if you haven't heard

the backstory of Keanu and his tumultuous life, you need to read up because it's pretty. Yes, I believe something along the lines of he lost his wife and then they murdered his dog. And then they were all after him. And he just goes and kills all of them. And a book in the library.

Over three movies, I believe. And I believe a spin-off TV series set in the same universe. There's lots of, like, articles that we Google, like, why I count as the greatest man and they list off everything.

Yeah. But he's making himself available. This is the aid of, in the aid of youth cancer organisation Camp Rainbow Gold. So, 15 minutes of his time is what you'll get

and at the moment it's over $25,000 New Zealand dollars for that Zoom chat. Wow. Okay. What would you even say? See, I feel like he's the sort of guy, if you just ran into him and approached him, he'd probably chat to you for free. Oh, he absolutely would.

But if you were like sat next to him. When am I going to run into Keanu Reeves? Yeah. He might sit next to him on a plane. He takes the tube, right? He takes the subway. He takes the tube, right? He takes the subway. He takes the subway, yeah. Public transport.

So, I mean, if you lived in America, you could potentially run into him, but we're not going to. No. But that's not a bad price because I saw a story. You know, Jeremy Piven, he was in Entourage.

He's been in a few things. Did he get cancelled? It was like what we were talking about yesterday about Chuck Bass. There was a lot of accusations, but I don't think they ever came to anything. Well, he's charging on Cameo. Do you know we've talked about Cameo before? That's a platform where celebrities, you can get a video shout out, like a birthday message and pay a few hundred dollars,

or you can Zoom call with them and pay more. Jeremy Piven is charging $15,000 for 10 minutes on Zoom. Oh, that's expensive. But that's not for charity, right? No, that's just for his pocket. Yeah. But loads of people, Tony Hawk charges $1,000 for a Zoom call.

Right. Doesn't say how long, but you're loads of celebrities on there if you're willing to pay some money. Yeah, well, this is $25,000. It's actually almost $26,000 New Zealand dollars. So he's not cheap, but it's for charity. Producer Jared, who you may know from over 400 matches on Tinder during lockdown,

he purchased an ant farm. Have you got any ants for your ant farm yet? No, not yet. I'm struggling to find them. I found ants. I could not find the queen for the life of me though. Because that's the main one you want, right? There's no use me getting ants unless there's a queen in the mix. A queenless colony would be a good

training session, I reckon, until I get a queen. Okay, alright. I'll be all over the show. I'll be like having America in an ant farm. It'd be a mess. show. It'll be like having America in an ant farm. It'll be a mess. Right. It needs a leader. It needs a leader.

It needs a leader. It needs a queen. But a couple of days ago in the next chapter of interesting things about you is you said, guys, what would it be like if I bought a pair of, I can't remember if you called them overalls or if you called them dungarees. Dungarees, probably. called them dungarees. Dungarees, probably. Yeah, dungarees. But today, here you are, you're in your dungarees.

Looking scucks AF, right? Imagine no more. Imagine no more. You're impressed. Oh, I like them. Yes. Megan, what do you think? Yeah, I'm pro dungarees.

Yeah. My husband's got a pair. Does he? Yeah. It's a toy boy. Yeah. I couldn't imagine him in dungarees, actually. He looks great in dungarees. Yeah. My husband's got a pair. Does he? Yeah. Mr. Toyboy. Yeah. I couldn't imagine him in dungarees, actually. He looks great in dungarees.

Not saying he wouldn't. He doesn't wear them often enough. Yeah, I'm not saying he wouldn't. I just couldn't imagine him being a dungaree person. Are they a blue denim dungaree? Yeah. Oh, lighter than that. They're lighter than this.

A bit distressed, yeah. Right. Does he wear them at the cafe? No. No, they're just good dungarees. Oh, really? They're like a good dungaree? Yeah. Does he wear them at the cafe? No. No, they're his good dungarees. Oh, really? They're like a good dungaree? Yeah.

Because dungarees to me mean you're... If I was to get dungarees, they'd be primarily for... Farm dungarees. Yeah. And then like sometimes cool people only like do up one of the buttons at the front. That was my struggle this morning. I didn't know if I should... Do them both up.

Have it like sexily underclothed. Oh, no. I didn't know if I should... Do them both up....have it, like, sexily underclosed. Oh, no. I don't think you're Gwen Stefani in 2003, so I don't... Should we do an Instagram post? I reckon. With one strap off, one on,

and people can vote. Like for, like a PoliMoli. Jared edition. Well, no, listen, don't get too ahead of yourself here. Don't try to hijack a PoliMoli. Well, we're not going to go that far.

You get one yes, no. But I think it would be nice for the people to see the dungies. Yeah. Not bad. I think it would be a crime to have these dungies and not have more people see them. I'd like to see you next time wear a yellow hoodie so you look like a minion next time.

Okay, deal. I'll get some goggles too. Yes! I want to know how come he wears something new and you two are all on board, but when I wear something new... If you wore dungarees, I would get some goggles too. Yes. I want to know how come he wears something new and you two are all on board, but when I wear something new. If you wore dungarees, I would also be on board. Bullshit.

Because dungarees are one of those things I've always wanted to be brave enough to try. Well, why don't you? Why don't you? It's a real branch out. You don't need to be brave. You just need to put them on and rock it. No, because I'll look like, you know,

in the first Men in Black, that guy whose body gets taken over by the insect. And he's looking down the street like, and he's in dungarees, but he's got like a little puku guts and stuff. Like that's what I'll look like. Then you like go from urban dwelling fashionista to old boy on the farm. You might look like a farmer. I can do a little sewing and make a little extra,

I'll add a little extra material on the side. No, because then that will be really obvious. Make it look a nice floral insert. We should get you some. That'd be great. Uncle Jesse off the Dukes of Hazzard, like just that old grumpy old man in dungarees. You should both get some.

We're very supportive of your fashion choices, though. Apart from those neck curtains you wore the other day. You know what? I can't believe you don't have dungarees, Fletch. You love the Minions. I do. I do love the Min day. You know what? I can't believe you don't have dungarees, Fletch. You love the Minions. I do. I do. I do love the Minions.

You should get a yellow hoodie with the Minion eyes on the hood. Yeah, right. Come in and be like, banana. Yeah. And then you'd always have something to wear to fancy dress parties. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Good.

Well, now I know what to get you for your birthday. Yeah. Some dungarees. And a yellow hoodie. So Kmart's got another hack. This one is a little sexy time hack. So a woman has shared this on her Facebook page. Stop.

Let's have a guess. Oh, okay. Something that you can get from Kmart that helps you with sexy time Is it tying someone up with the cord kettle? The kettle from the cord The cord from the kettle Nah because they

all sell those kettles now on a base so that's really unsexy to have to be tied up but then the base is hanging off It's not really Fifty Shades of Grey to have a base And the cords are really short Yes It's got the base hanging off. But then the base is hanging off. It's not really Fifty Shades of Grey to have a base. Yeah, and it's not like that old. And the cords are really short. Yes. And it's not that old material cord.

Yeah. What was that, like, planted around the outside with, like, cotton? Yeah, they don't do those anymore. No, it's just a hard plastic cord. You'd be tied up with the cord from the kettle and then the other one would be the hand mixer. Like, yeah, the plug's digging into me. Could you make the most of

some of that parallel imported yucky Australian tasting chocolate could the rabbit oh yeah how well does that melt I don't know

I wouldn't want to mount it up there anyway no it's not that hell of a situation any more guesses um what should I tell you the price of this thing

okay two dollars oh god what's two dollars it came at? A throw cushion. How's that going to help you with sexy time? Put your head on it.

Yeah. Oh, this is so sexy. You want to be comfortable. This is comfortable. Yeah. I was just on the bed before this. Maybe if you were kneeling, you could put it under your knees. Oh, yeah.

I don't know about you guys. If I kneel on a hard surface for too long, I get sore. I definitely pray before sex. I pray during. Thank God a lot. I don't even believe in him. No, I'm out. Oh, the trolley.

No, $2. Oh, no, yeah, right. Yeah, no, that would be hiring a trolley rather than taking one home. So a woman has shared that she spent $2 at Kmart on a pool noodle. All right. Those do have holes in them.

So on the back of her headboard, you know how there's a little slot in the pool noodle? Yeah. So you can, like, slide the pool noodle down the back of the headboard. Or you just cut it, wouldn't you? You could cut it. You just cut it. I know what you're talking about.

Some don't. Some come with a thing so you can put it over things. Yeah. Pool noodles for stopping, like, if there's a sharp edge on a shed. Some of them have just got a light slide so you can push it on. So it's, like, dual purpose for pool, but also cushioning. Yeah. So if it doesn't have that, make a little cut and slot it over the back of your headboard.

It stops the... Oh my God. Oh! That would be genius. Oh, right. Okay, so it's not an apparatus to... No. ...further sexual pleasure.

It's to dull... You misled us. You made it sound like she was using something from Kmart. Apologies, Your Honour. So she is having such vigorous sex that her headboard is slamming against the wall. Yeah, it's a big wooden headboard.

So I guess it's going doof, doof, doof. Yeah. And then if you've got anyone else in the house, that's going to be... Or if you've got neighbours. Yeah. Because you would push that... Why not attach the headboard to the wall

using a 3M sticky strip? You mean the noodle to the back of the headboard? You'd just end up pulling this. I was just thinking the headboard to the, you know those 3M ones that are a bit like Velcro, that hook Velcro? Oh, yep, yep. You put one on the wall and then one on the headboard and then push it. And then it'll hold it there. No, because it's the banging against it.

They'll pop off. You'll hear. And then you're like, oh, God, I'll just reconnect that. You look up, it's actually just torn the paint off the wall. Oh, God, I didn't roll on, roll off. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, you can always detach it and use it for something

if you want to. Well, they come very long. You'd probably need to cut the ends off. Otherwise, it would hang right at the end. There'd be a bit of craft involved. Yeah. And then I don't know if you're supposed to keep it on there the whole time

or whether that's a, hang on, I'll get the sexy time noodle up. Oh, yeah, you'd have to put it under the bed and then bring it out for the sexy times. God, imagine going around to her house for like a one night stand or like the first time you're hooked up and she's like, hold on,

I'm just going to get the sex noodle. You'd be like, what? And then she reaches out, runs going to get the sex noodle. You'd be like, what? And then she reaches out, runs in there and pulls it out. You'd be like, what? That's not going. What's happening? What happens now? And she's like, okay, so what happens is you put your ear on one end

and then I whisper something. And then you whisper it back and I see if it's still the same phrase. And then we stick it behind the headboard and we go at it. Wow, wow, $2 from Kmart. Yeah. Not a bad hack. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.

Hello there. There is a free trade agreement under, kind of been worked on with Britain. Yeah. They're leaving the EU. Remember Brexit? Remember when Brexit was like the biggest problem in the world? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I actually don't know where Brexit's at.

Still happening. Let's take a back seat. Something by the end of the year, Brexit. Something, something, something Yeah Probably a great time To sneak something through Yeah Everybody's distracted with COVID

Oh yeah Horrendous institutional racism And just Brexit Brexit But we could be doing A free trade agreement With old Inge Land

Yeah So I've got the top six things we can do switchies with, with Britain. Okay. So basically the free trade agreement just means it'll be a whole lot easier to get our stuff there for them to buy and there won't be tariffs on it to make it more expensive.

So it's obviously less appealing. Yeah. Do you think it'll be good for Kiwis to work there now? Do you reckon they'll change that? Because they like Kiwis to work there now? Do you reckon they'll change that? Because they like Kiwis. There is generally, like, the workforce is considered part of trade agreements. So maybe. Yeah, right.

Okay. Maybe. So the top six things we could do switchies for with Britain. Number six, we'll bring the cream, you bring the scones. Yum. Oh, yeah, they do good scones. Devontious scones. Yeah.

Clotted cream. And no one does a better dairy product. Than us. Very true, yeah, they do good scones. Deventure scones. Yeah. Clotted cream. And no one does a better dairy product than us. Very true, yeah. We do a great dairy. Number five on the list of the top six things we can do switchies for with Britain. We'll bring the beef. You bring the Wellington. Actually, we've got our own Wellington.

Don't worry about it. Yeah, we'll probably just make our own pastry, eh? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, nah, yeah, okay, you guys do the Wellington. We'll do the beefy bit. Number four on the list of the top six things we can do Switches for with Britain. You bring the antiques, we'll bring the roadshow.

Yeah, they've got more antiques. They've got way more antiques. They're older. They're older. Our antiques roadshow is just like, I don't know, something from the 80s. Yeah. An old rapper from a trumpet. Yeah.

As in the tip-top trumpet. Yeah, or a McDonald's toy. Yes. From the 80s. Like the Transformer fries that turned into a truck. Oh my god. And the one that was the Big Mac and a robot. Mention that on Antiques Roadshow. The guy's like, get out of here.

Pass off. But I've got the whole set. Number three on the list of the top six things we can do switchies for with Britain. You bring your black cabs and we'll bring the vomit to put in them to get charged the soiling fee. Yeah. Very good at that. Speaking of number two, you bring the gin

we'll bring the unstable relationship with alcohol that we probably got from you in the first place. It's so true. Yeah. The news story did mention gin, didn't it? Yeah. Good. Why does gin make you cry?

Gin and berries. Yeah. It's a natural. But to be honest, like New Zealand, we've got some really nice New Zealand made gin. Oh, we do. Yeah, gin's exploded in the last couple of years. So they were like, oh, this gin, that gin. And I was like, we've got nicer gins made right here in New Zealand made gin. Oh, we do. Yeah, gin's exploded in the last couple of years. That's what they were like, oh, this gin, that gin. And I was like,

we've got nicer gins made right here in New Zealand. Yeah. I don't know if we need their gin anymore. Maybe get their Pimms. Maybe Pimms would be cheaper. Oh, yeah, we'll have

a couple of Pimms. I'll have a couple of bottles of Pimms. Yeah. Tutti Free, if you're coming through. And number one, remember Tutti Free?

Oh, I hadn't thought about it. They just open that up and we'll just come to the airport. They should do that. We'll come buy it and then go home again. Yeah, pretend we were going on holiday. Yeah. Oh. And number one on the list of the top six things we can do Switchies for with Britain.

Actually, you know what? There's not much that you guys do better than us. So we'll just use our own stuff. But you can continue to buy our stuff. And then that way we get more money and we don't have to spend any. Yeah. And then we'll be rich.

That is today's top six. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. The findings of this have been printed in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. It is a look into why people lie. Okay. And they've found that one of the reasons is people lie to appear more honest.

Because appearing to be honest is virtuous and like, I don't know. It's what everyone... Are we just, are we talking little white lies? Like they're okay, eh? Yeah, kind of. Like when Bourne's like, i'm just on my way but he's in the shower yeah yeah but i wouldn't be in the shower i'd just be about to get in the

shower because i don't take my phone into the shower it's more and i reckon we do this a lot in new zealand it's more to so if you got something if you won lotto or something beneficial maybe right now you got a promotion or something that you know other people wouldn't they might get jealous or they might treat you differently. They'd want a tall pop of you. Yeah, so you'd lie about it. Oh, so you'd just be like, right, yeah, I'm just doing alright.

When you've just won Powerball and or you've got a new promotion. Yeah. That is such a New Zealand thing to do, eh? It's terrible. Appearing honest may outweigh our desire to actually be honest. So people will have extremely favourable outcomes and then they lie about it because they're worried about other people's reactions.

And isn't that sad? Yeah, it really is. Like you've bought a new car or something, but someone's like, is that a new car? You're like, no, no, I've had it. No. That's an old thing. I've had it a couple of years, but it's a 2020 model.

You had it before it came out. This old situation. Yeah. It's such a New Zealand thing. Yeah. Because then people will be like, oh, yep, got a flash car, have you? Who do you think you are? Yeah.

Well, like you often don't know where people live or what kind of circumstance they live in. Like, oh, I just live in a little house. But it might be like a big flash place that they don't want to tell people.

Tradio I was talking to. Yeah. And he said... Was he on the tools at the time or off the tools? No, he was off the tools. Off the tools.

This was in a social situation. Oh, okay. He was saying he upgraded his work ute to a really nice ute. Yeah. He worked hard. He wanted. Oh, okay. Yep. He was saying he upgraded his work ute. Oh, yeah. To a really nice ute. Yeah. Worked hard.

He wanted to pay it off. Yeah. Wanted to enjoy it, rather. Yeah. So, yeah, he upgraded his work ute to a brand new, very nice ute. Okay. And stopped getting as much work. Really?

Wow. And then was like, kept the old ute. Yeah. Started using the old ute, started using the old ute again, made the flash ute, like took the sign writing off it and just went back to using the old ute and work started picking up again. That's so true

because if a tradie turned up to my place and had a flash ute, I'd be like, oh, charging too much, charging too much, charging too much. Whereas it is so true. If they turn up in a dunger, you're like, oh, I want to help them out.

Hard worker. Yeah, hard worker. Modest. Yeah. I never even thought about that. And they said they'd talk to other tradies about it. Yeah. And it was totally a thing.

Oh, man. Yeah. So in that case, you would lie. In that case, you would lie a little bit, wouldn't you? Yeah. Yeah. Crazy, eh? He just wanted a nice ute after all his hard work. Yeah, worked hard.

So what did he do with his nice ute? Just use it at the weekends? Yeah, I think so. Man, we're a mean bunch, aren't we? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. So we're not allowed to travel anywhere at the moment. Just New Zealand. But there is...

And that could be pretty quickly taken away too. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha. Oh. Good Lord. Don't even joke about it. Don't even, yeah. Oh, God.

Go back to your crossword, mate. It's a word fine. It's a word fine. It's a word fine. I'm listening. I'm very good at doing two things at once. Oh, shit. So I've got the most grammed locations of all time. These are broken down into categories.

Right, okay. So I feel like you're going to dispute a few of these, having a seasoned traveller. How have they broken these down? By Instagram posts. Okay. So they're in categories. So hotels is the first one.

Okay. And then just literally the hotel with the most Instagram posts. Okay. So I guess you would have to have put it in the location. Tagged it in. Tag the location. Yeah, right. Okay.

So the hotel that gets Instagrammed the most in... Hotel California. No. Hotel Transylvania. I just Googled hotel. I'm ready to see how good this is. No, it'll be what it looks like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

From outside. That one with the rooftop swimming pool. Singapore. No. The Manila... You're talking about Marina Bay Sands? Yes. Second.

Oh, close. No, it's in Dubai. Burj Al Arab. The one that looks like a sail. Yeah, yeah. The one we went to the beach there when we were in Dubai. That one. So everyone jet skis and takes a gram of that sail-looking hotel.

So that's the most Instagrammed hotel. Okay. Next category, landmarks. This is kind of loose. Grand Canyon. You'd think it would be something like that. It's not. It's a park.

Central Park. Central Park. Oh, okay. I was going to say like Yosemite or something. Probably because if you go to New York, you'd go. Yep. To see whereabouts Macaulay Culkin met the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.

There's also lots to do. You could do like an aerial shot or you could go to Strawberry Fields. Locals would go there all the time too. True. Yeah. 7.3 million posts. Wow. Okay.

Runner up was Big Ben. Skylines. Oh. Just any Sky Big Ben. Skylines. Oh, just any skyline. Listen, Skylines. No, like a skyline view. Right. A clue is there is a good viewing platform for the skyline. Oh, New York.

Yeah. New York City. Yeah. New York City, 462,000 posts. Then we have theatres. The most Instagram theatre? There's only one theatre I could think of. Sydney Opera House.

Yeah. Right, okay. So, Beautiful Sunset for Sydney Opera House. Everyone's gramming that. But there is one in Mexico that's actually quite stunning that I've never heard of before. A beautiful lit up theatre. Beaches.

This is not what I would have thought. I haven't been there, but it's not what comes to mind when I would think. It would have to be somewhere that's heavily populated, right? Yeah. Like, is that Bondi Beach? No. Florida? Yeah, Miami Beach.

12 million grams. That's because so many people live there, as well as it being a place you've got to go see when you're a tourist. And then the second one, sadly, is Maya Bay in Thailand, that place where we're told we're not allowed to go anymore, eh? Is that the one, the beach? Yeah, right. Because everyone's...

See, I thought they shut that down for a few years, but it's still up there. You can probably still go past in a boat. Yeah, right. Is Maya Bay still closed? It closes four months of the year. Right. Does it?

It's irrelevant now Right. Does it? It's irrelevant now, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. Do you guys read that story about the rock pools? They're like natural infinity pools in New Zealand. Private, right? On the West Coast. Why did you give me that look? Have you been there?

No, no, no, I haven't been there. No, but they've posted pictures of people. Yeah, so it's Anafata. It's between, it's really remote. It's between Bethels and Piha Beach. So do you have to do that? On the west coast of Auckland. That walk to get there, the Tihanga.

You have to go over, there's no vehicle access. You have to take a narrow gravel road that descends through forest and eventually arrive at the rock pools. You have to walk down. Apparently there are signs because it's private property. I was going to say, is there signs? Barbed wire as well. But people have been doing this.

And ever since Instagram, it's been described as catnip to Instagrammers. Oh, yeah. And the guy that owns the place is just getting pissed off. Installed cameras. Installed cameras. And now people are upset that the cameras were installed. Obviously missing the irony that they were trespassing on private property.

They don't have a leg to stand on, right? Because he can put cameras on his private property. So he's put cameras on the rock pools and has caught couples having sex in the water. Men taking dozens of photos of women looking for the right light and angle on their bottoms to people standing right at the very edge of the sheer and unforgiving cliff.

Jeez. Because I think someone fell off there recently or around that area. But I mean, it looks beautiful. I think he's missing a trick. He should be charging people. Yeah, put up a little fence. But as soon as he charges people,

he's got to make it safe for them. But also, it's not about that. But as soon as he charges people, he's got to make it safe for them. But he's also it's not about that. It's about the ecosystems being damaged. Because he's picking up rubbish all the time. So you can feel sorry for the guy. Okay, I just googled it and I think the problem might be all of these

websites that tell it about being one of New Zealand's hidden secrets and how it's beautifully photographic. Anafata Beach secrets at NewZealandDreamer.com. Eight secret places in New Zealand. It's not secret. It's private.

Yeah, there's a Reddit about it. The best kept secret on Auckland's West Coast. It looks beautiful. It's a natural infinity pool. Right. And rock pools. Amazing. But yeah, and there's some, like, look at this chick. Like, is that topless?

Yeah. Hard to tell if she's wearing like a white caney bottoms. Right. But pretty much top, definitely topless and on hidden camera. Oh dear. Oh no. Oh dear. Alright, next on the show, Polly Moly. Yeah, the whoopsie edition.

We ask things like, have you ever cried in public? We've got all the results. It turns out a lot of us have. Yeah. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. It's Poli Moli, Moli, Moli, Moli. Poli Moli, Moli, Moli. Come on!

Poli Moli, the whoopsie edition. We asked a bunch of questions about little whoopsies. Not all of these, like, need to be whoopsies all the time. For example, our first question, have you ever cried in public? Yes. Nothing wrong with a good cry. Yeah. All the time.

But maybe it just overcame. You became overcame. You became overcome. You became overcomed. Yeah, you were overcome. And you cried in public. 86% of people said yes, I have cried in public. There's nothing better than seeing like a Friday or a Saturday night meltdown.

I didn't even think about that. Losing it. Like a drunk one. Yeah, like a drunk meltdown in public. They're great to watch. You've never cried in public, have you? I've never even seen you cry, period. Well, I wouldn't admit it to you, probably, if it had happened.

What? What a tough guy, eh? Tough guy, tough guy. God, he doesn't want to get down to the rugby club this weekend and have the boys say, hey, I hear you cried in public. A couple of DMs on the topic. Somebody said, I cried in public the day I was dumped. I had to go to jury service.

I was sitting there crying, waiting for them to draw out the names. Needless to say, I didn't get picked. They must have thought I was too emotional to decide the fate of a criminal. Great. That's a great way to get out of jury duty. Yeah. Because I might have to pull that. Put Vicks Vaporub under your eyes before you go in there.

I'm on my last warning for jury duty. I've got out of it like three times. You always get asked four times, don't you? Fourth, you can't say no. Fourth, you can't say no. The next time I've got to do it. Yeah, you're bossy. And I hope it's a juicy one because I'll just tell them.

I'll just say everything the next day on the radio. And then they'll let me go. Yeah. Yeah. And then you'll be here. I'll wear a sweatshirt that says, I am a blabbermouth. I can't keep a mouth shut. I can't keep a secret.

And they'll be like, sir, go home. I'll be like, yes. See you. Have you ever cried in public? Somebody said, first week of lockdown, I was supposed to be having

a big birthday party for my dad's 70th. I started crying when I realised in the supermarket queue that he'd be all alone on his birthday and I wouldn't be able to give him a hug. Oh, my gosh. A lot. Our second question was, have you ever cried on public transport?

No. Now, what did you answer to that? No. That was the only one I said no to. Because you haven't been on public transport. Because I don't really go on public transport. What about a plane? Have you ever cried on a plane?

Because that's public transport. Like, we say it's not. People say it's not, but it is, isn't it? It's like a flying bus. Flying bus. Yeah, I've watched, I've had a few wines and watched movies and cried. Okay, so you have cried on public transport. Okay.

47% said yes, they have. 53% said no. Somebody said I was absolutely bawling when finishing a book on the train. If you ever read The Great Alone, you'll know why. Jeez, that sounds like a depressing read. It sounds rough. I don't think a book's ever made me cry. I read stabby books, like murder books.

Right. It takes a lot to be reading a book and find something funny and actually laugh out loud about the book that you're reading. Right. Good Reads gives it 4.3 out of 5.

Give us the rundown there. The Great Alone, a desperate family seeks a new beginning in the near isolated wilderness of Alaska only to find that their unwanted,

that their unpredictable environment is less threatening than the dot, dot, dot. Bears. Oh my God, the bears. Polar bears. Wolves. No, I cried when I read Me Before You,

that book with Amelia Clarke did the movie on. Oh, yes. I don't search out books that will make me cry, probably. Somebody else said, my visa living in London expired before I was ready to leave. I cried the whole flight and bus ride. And somebody else said, I watched the movie Me. I cried the whole flight and bus ride.

And somebody else said, I watched the movie Me Before You on the plane after a couple of wines. I was crying so hard the air crew kept checking in on me. That's just devastating.

But it's, I've said as well, it's something about being in the air makes you more emotional. Our next question for Holy Moly, the whoopsie edition was,

have you ever been kicked out of a bar for being drunk? 46% said, oh yes. 54% said, not me. Someone DM'd, I spewed into my hands. The bouncer

had to escort me out of the bar without spilling the contents. After my grandfather's funeral, my whole family got kicked out of the RSA. Then we went to the local pub and got kicked out of there as well. It was actually a bloody great night. Gramps would have been so proud.

I've had a little non-eyes on a toilet seat. I had a little non-eyes. A little standing up non-eyes once. And he said, I think it's time to leave. And I said, you are definitely not wrong. Give us a hand, will you? We also asked, have you ever sent a risky text to the wrong person? Uh-huh, honey, said 51%.

No, said 49%. That's bad. A DM on the topic, my sister sent a sexy naked selfie to the family group chat. Oh, no. You've got to do a triple check if you're sending a naked selfie to the family group chat. Oh, no. You've got to do a triple check if you're sending a naked selfie. Somebody else said, I wrote a lengthy message

complaining in detail about somebody I worked with sent it to the person I was complaining about. Not my friend that I meant to. We also asked, have you been ghosted after sending a risky text?

So you could get a little bit sexy on it. 33% of people said yes, they have been ghosted. 67% said no. That's why you shouldn't mention your sexy Kmart pool noodle until they're at your house. Yeah. Have you ever had a dramatic fall in

public? 62% of you said yes. 38% said no. A DM on the topic, I was late to a lecture I was trying to sneak in and said I tripped and rolled down the stairs. Made a very big scene, still horrified about it. And somebody said I fell off

my bike after hitting the curb, grazed my chin, but it must have looked very dramatic as I drew a crowd there was an ambulance and my mum happened to be driving past the stop too. I've had carpet burn at the airport When I fell off my heels And I skidded along the carpet on my knee

In front of everyone I do that all the time Because of my heels If I'm not concentrating And you go down And you get a carpet burn You go down hard Was it Wellington Airport?

No it was Auckland Oh I was going to say Because you know that Wellington Airport carpet That looks like stones Oh yeah yeah yeah You'd be like Oh no I was going to say, because you know that Wellington Airport carpet that looks like stones? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd be like, oh, no, not a full-on stones. It's just carpet. All right, next on the show,

our bad news for the trans-Tasman bubble and any hopes of getting to Australia soon. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. A lot of us have been getting excited about the possibility of a trans-Tasman bubble. Bubble. The chance to go to Australia for like a week's holiday. Yeah.

Wow. If this week had a... I did tell everybody to manage their expectations of us. Did you? I did. I've said it a lot. Because my mum, because my brother lives in Australia, and mum and dad usually go over at this time of the year.

To see the grandkids. To see the grandkids. And they go across on like May, April and May is when all the grandkids' birthdays are over there and they haven't been and mum's like, oh, it'll be soon. I'm like, you just manage your expectations, please, Christine. And she said, don't be like that. And I said, you

taught me to be like this. You created this monster. Well, I think if this week has taught New Zealand anything, it's that, yeah, we're probably getting a little carried away with ourselves. A little bit. Maybe. Complacent was the word I've heard a lot.

Look how easy it was just for, you know. Yeah. Press the gun. Bugger it up. 320 contacts are now tracing after these two women were let out of the hotel early. Well, more bad news today from over the ditch because the Australian government is warning Australians that the country's borders could remain shut

until at least next year, 2021. Including to us. Yeah. So the tourism minister, Simon Birmingham in Australia, he has recommended, urged Australians to consider a holiday at home even despite talk of a travel bubble with Australia,

New Zealand and other countries. He's saying don't get your hopes up and please holiday at home in the meantime. Ew! Also, today news at Qantas have cancelled all international flights through to the 24th of October, with

the exception of flights to New Zealand and Tokyo at time of writing. So they're not gearing up for any kind of tourism soon. Thanks for that, Fletch. Yeah. Oh no, that's part of this. Also good to, I guess, you know, holiday at home. Support the local tourism operators. Yes, definitely.

Absolutely, 100%. And we've got many options on our doorstep. Because you and I bloody love a luge. I'll luge any time of the year. Yeah. If it's winter luging, I'll wait until maybe it's a little bit warmer. I get very cold fingers. Unless I can get some gloves on.

We'll get you some gloves. Yeah, yeah. Get you some gloves on. So I've get some gloves on. We'll get you some gloves. Yeah, yeah. Get you some gloves on. I've done winter lurching. Bloody love it. I've done winter lurching, just not first thing in the morning. Well, you take your gloves next time.

Or last thing in the night, yeah. I'll need to take some gloves. Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. We should say about that song, there's a part at the start you can actually hear his mouth moving.

The drink. It's the drink in my wandering hands. The drink. The drink. And I'm drink in my wandering hands. The drink. The drink. And I'm like, drink. Can you actually hear it like him do that?

Yeah, you can hear his mouth movements. The drink in your hand. Well, don't do the mouth bit. Hang on. Where's the mouth bit?

Listen. Here. I'm in my bed. All right, a couple of lines in. You're not here. Yeah. And there's no one to blame but the drink and my wandering hands.

Oh. Shit, that's good. That is good. That is good. I love it. I was like, when he says says drink And Bourne's like Yes I know exactly

What you're talking about And it's another thing That hot people get away with Yeah Mouth noises Yeah We started doing mouth noises If you could hear

You know when you hear Someone talking And it sounds like They've got too much Spit in their mouth And you're like Yuck But then if someone

Really hot's doing it You're like Why are they salivating And it's like musicians Yeah are they salivating? And it's like musicians, yeah, when they sing and you can just get a little hint of the mouth. He must have been right up on that microphone during that record. Just another thing hot people get away with. Hot people.

I'll forgive them. On with your day, hot people. It's important you're out there. We want to discuss this morning, if you have broken up because of differing opinions, because a friend of mine posted on Facebook, the status said, please help, my partner's just told me she thinks COVID is caused by 5G.

Oh, that's an instant dumping. Caused by 5G. Yeah. How long are they being together? Like would you not get hints of oh man.

No but it's viral. Yeah and but something like I mean you surely you'd get a sense that the person

was into conspiracy theories when you start dating them right? But maybe they're feeling a bit vulnerable now you know like everyone's a bit

on edge and willing to believe, you know, they've been taken down a rabbit hole and it's whether you have a discussion with them and whether they're like hard set on it now. Because then how do you go forward when you've got completely different ideas? Because it's also, if they've been into it behind the scenes

and like been looking into it you know, through sources with absolutely no scientific backing or you know, any truth to them those people always say, now the first thing they're going to do is try to tell you that it's not true you've got to be strong, you've got to resist. Well you can't argue with these

people. No exactly, and then you argue with them and that's like, they said that they were going to do this But can you continue a relationship though? Because imagine if suddenly your partner's like, do said that they were going to do this. Yeah. But can you continue a relationship, though? Because imagine if suddenly your partner's like, do you know the earth is actually flat? Oh, my God, what would you do? You're like, no, you don't know. No, no, no.

No. And then every time you go to a party, can you just not bring up that you think the earth's flat? We don't go to parties anymore. We don't leave the house. I don't know how you carry that on. Yeah, because even if you're the partner, you can't argue with them. Nobody can.

No. Do you think an ultimatum of it's 5G conspiracies or me would wake up a... No, because if they've been buying into the argument the whole time, that's what they've come across, is that people are saying they'll make these crazy accusations and say this, but it's all part of their giant government conspiracy, man. But what if you're married and you've been together years and you love this person?

People get divorced all the time. Just add to the stats, leave them. Here's an idea, Megan. You marry Harry Styles and then like six months in to the marriage, he comes in and he's like, all right, I think 5G's...

Oh, the 5G one's bad though. I thought you were going to say flat earth. He can believe that it's flat. He's like, I think the earth's flat and 5G causes coronavirus. Shh, shh, shh. Do the mouth thing. Just sing.. Do the mouth thing. Just sing.

Just do the mouth thing. In the dream club of hands. Yeah, all right. And you've probably got a good point about that COVID-19. You should have. If Harry was ever with me, there's nothing he could do to make me break up with him. Besides murder, I'm not down for that. Right. I think you're still giving him a

passcard on the first murder. Get your first murder free. Oh my God. Comes home, I've done it again, Megan. Stop it. You're so hot. Okay, well I think it would be interesting to take some calls. If you're listening, have you ever been with someone and into the relationship there's been a difference of opinion

and that's caused you to break up with them? Let's not forget it's an election year this year. People get pretty feisty on the politics side of things. Do you think you could be with someone that didn't have the same political or the same... No, as long as it wasn't... Extreme. As long as it wasn't the two extremes. Yeah, right.

Yeah, I just... No, yeah, I don't think I could be with someone that was like... Because it's like your opinion on anything. That's like fundamental belief. Yeah, yeah. That's your morals. Okay, so 0800DARLS.M, give us a call or text in 9696. Has a difference of opinion about something

or a belief caused you to break up with someone? And whether or not it was a political thing or a conspiracy theory. Yeah, or maybe just. Yeah, I don't know. They were a greenie and you just wanted to keep. Burning tires. Burning tires or using plastic bags. And giving your old TV to the dolphins.

We're talking about what you couldn't, you couldn't get over in a relationship and you had to break up because of a difference of opinion. Yeah. Somebody said, I used to argue with my ex over the correct use of the English language. Aww. He didn't believe there was any difference

between saying, I seen that person and I saw that person, even though I spout out and proved to him multiple times there was. So yeah, I'll forgive a wrong there or there, because they're hot. Like, it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, if they're hot.

If they're hot, it's fine. Even though you'll be like, that's wrong, but I'll just let it slide. I always, because English is my husband's second language, so he still says things wrong. He always says, plug it out. And I'm like, you say unplug. Plug it out?

He always says, can you plug that out? Okay, that would annoy me. Like little things weirdly, but I always correct him. And he's like, okay, thanks. It must be so annoying. But like you say, not his first language. Yeah. So, you know, you can understand that. Yeah.

But, you know, hearing from a lot of different political and these anti-vax. Yeah. Angers as well. Yeah. My partner and I have been together for three years But we struggle to move forward because of differing opinions The latest disagreements are about The legalisation of cannabis

And conspiracy theories I'm okay with differing opinions But it drives me mad if it can't be backed up with evidence Or something intellectual Rather than just I read online or I saw on YouTube Anonymous You had a difference of opinion with an ex?

Hi, so me and my ex, we've been together for about two years. Yeah. And things were starting to get serious, you know, questions about kids and that sort of thing. And so then one day she comes out with an absolute banger of, well, you know, when we do have kids, I don't want to vaccinate them because vaccines cause autism and I don't want my child to have autism. Yeah, okay, wow.

Not true. And so was that, did you dump her? Say what you say, wow, not true. Wow, not true, not true. Well, having grown up in a house where parents were, you know, the whole nine yards conspiracy theorist.

Okay. Kind of as soon as I could, went out, got all my vaccines. And then, so when she came out with that, I was like, no, I'm sorry, but. I've grown up with that. I don't need it anymore. Yeah, brilliant. Anonymous, thanks so much for your call. Some other text messages.

I was casually dating somebody and it ended pretty quickly. We had very opposing views on a woman's rights and abortion. He was casually dating somebody and it ended pretty quickly. We had very opposing views on women's rights and abortion. He was very against it and I said, well, I wasn't planning on having one, but someone who I barely know also can't tell me what to do with my body, so. Yeah. Was that David Seymour? That ended.

No, he's no, he's not anti-abortion. But he just thinks people should also be allowed to protest right outside. Yeah, right. To make an already, I'm imagining, very harrowing decision even more traumatic. Yeah. Somebody said a few years ago when Kim Dotcom said he was going to run for prime minister.

Yeah. My girlfriend and I had an argument. Was she pro Kim Dotcom? No, no. She's, her family, a Labour family through and through. Oh, yeah. So when I said I was going to vote for Kim Dotcom? No, no. Her family are a Labour family through and through. Oh, yeah. So when I said I was going to vote for Kim Dotcom because he was going to give everybody free Wi-Fi,

she lost her mind. How good would free Wi-Fi be, though? Yeah. Stoked. It was the funniest thing ever to me. However, to this day, she still doesn't know that I actually voted for him. Oh.

Where is he now? He lives in Queenstown now, doesn't he? Does he? I think he lives in Queenstown I haven't heard that name for a while Yeah Oh, okay God, remember when that was our biggest issue?

Yes Ah, the good old days I broke up with my ex because she thought it was okay to sleep with her co-workers and I didn't think that was right and we had a differing opinion on that That's fair enough and I didn't think that was right and we had a differing opinion on that.

That's fair enough. Okay, so this one's very intense. I broke up with my boyfriend in high school because he could never have sexual relations with someone of a different race because if they were to end up having a child, it would have a very difficult life. Wow. Racist much?

Yeah. And then try to paint yourself as the hero. Yeah. I'll avoid my unborn child having to be exposed to racism by just not having one. Wow. What? Yeah.

That's crazy. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Hey ZM. It's Benny. ZM presents Benny. I'm a donut in a lie.

No, I'm super excited. I've been keeping it a secret for a while. But yes, I am. And I didn't know that I'd be able to play shows so soon. I thought it would be a lot. It would be like I couldn't even see it in the future. Because what was... This must be really weird.

You were starting to get traction. People were loving your music. Internationally, the TikTok thing blew up. Oh, TikTok. TikTok. TikTok. The TikTok. TikTok off. And then, TikTok. TikTok. The TikTok. TikTok off.

And then, boom, nothing. Lock down. Shut your doors. Stay inside. And did you have anything planned? I did. I had, like, a US tour and a Europe and a UK tour, which would have been, like, my biggest tour ever.

Would you be in the middle of that now? Or would you have been done already? I think I might still be in it. Yeah, I think I would have been in like the UK kind of area. Wow. I think. I might be wrong. But yeah, no, I mean.

So was that postponed? It was postponed. No, it was postponed for a while. And then it was like, actually, we have no idea when we're going to be able to go anywhere other than like out of New Zealand. So I was like, I'm just going to cancel it because otherwise people's money is just sitting there. It's not the best time to hold people's money.

So there you go. And also the Jimmy Fallon thing, because you get on Jimmy Fallon, but you don't get to be on it. Yeah. Be there. Yeah. It's weird. There's like, there's some kind of like nice thing

about like doing everything at home though and like, I love New Zealand so I feel like this is like the nicest place that you could be stuck in. You know what I mean? So I've kind of, yeah, it has been bad.

Is that why you got a puppy? Because I got a kitten for the same reason because I was bored at home. No, I mean, I actually wanted to foster a kitten at the start of lockdown but I only just got my puppy like a week ago, but I got it because I'm moving out of my house and I need a friend.

Right. So cute. Yeah, a little guard dog. What would happen if you didn't have a friend and you went into a new house? You might be a little super little. Oh, God. No, I am flatting, but I do need like a little friend. So I would be lonely without a little buddy.

I mean. Does your landlord know you've got a dog? Huh? Interesting. No, I am my landlord. Oh, right. Okay, that's all right then. Oh, good.

Nice. All right. Okay. Your landlord does know then. Otherwise, landlords don't let people have pets, eh? No, you've got to take the dog to your friend's house when they do an inspection. Yeah. Oh, true.

Or it has a day at doggy daycare. Yeah, I guess you could easily hide it. Nah, they know. As long as you don't forget the bowls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess it's also like a smell. Yeah. Like houses with dogs.

Like my house, you can always smell a dog. Yeah, when I was flatting, we put up fences to stop the dog getting out and then the landlord came around and was like, what are these fences? These are interesting little three foot, three-foot-tall fences that serve no purpose. I was like, yeah, I don't know.

Should have hidden them. Take the fence down. Yeah. I was far too lazy. Fair. I want to know how the Jimmy Fallon thing happened. How does, like, because he's never going to contact me. How does it?

How does it? Does he get in contact? Or, like like his people? What happens? I think his people get in contact with my people. Yeah. Because he didn't message me. And then you made what was almost a music video.

Yeah. I guess it's kind of like a music video. Yeah. I worked with this girl called Charlotte who did my another music video for me. My blue video. But yeah, it was cool. It was kind of nice

doing it from home and like, we got to record it on Roundhead and I love it there. Like, it's so pretty. But yeah,

we just like did like a, like the live, obviously like an actual live performance but we got to shoot it nicely so it was fun. So you didn't ever actually interact with him?

Unfortunately not. Right, okay. I was wondering if he ever just like zoomed afterwards and said, that was great, or thanks very much. I wish. Is there anything you want mentioned? I wish.

I mean, nah. He kind of, I think he kind of does, he doesn't do interviews unless you're like Taylor Swift. Yeah. Right. What is, what is, like, what is being on TikTok like for you? Because when we go down a TikTok hole, you know, we all do this, but is it different for you for you? Because when we go down a TikTok hole, you know, we all do this,

but is it different for you because you use your music a lot? Yeah, it's kind of random because I actually do get quite lost just like on the app. I always sit there for an hour happily and the time will go very, very quickly. But yeah, it's always kind of weird

because I'm kind of scrolling and I get a little bit, you know, I'm kind of like, you know, full asleep and I'm scrolling and then I hear my song and I'm like, damn, what the heck? And I'm like, oh, that's right. The song's on here and yeah. Does it make you want to scroll past?

Yeah. Now? Yeah. Or I just turn off the sound. This is cute. This is cute. But it's actually, it's cute watching all of the videos. Like, yeah, there's some funny ones.

Do you get, I don't know if this is like too personal, but like they're using your music on a platform, but like, do you get payment for that? Because any other kind of platform where people were like, technically performing to your music, you would get paid. No, I don't think I do. I'm not really, I don't really know that much about like, nah. But I guess, but I get, I mean, it I do. I'm not really, I don't really know that much about like, nah, but. Seems unfair.

I guess, but I get, I mean, it's like blown up my audience to like, I don't know, I've never had this many people listening to my music. So I guess it kind of, I think it links them directly to like Spotify and stuff.

So it's still, they're still like listening to your music. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, I feel like it's good. It's good for us. And I mean, you know, you think of like Lil Nas X,

like he had his music on TikTok first and it's like, I can't really complain to be honest. Yeah. Thank you, TikTok. Thank you, TikTok. But also, pay me TikTok. Yeah. Not me.

I've done absolutely nothing on TikTok, but you've done a lot. So this tour, you're going to four locations, Dunedin, Wellington, Auckland, and I've made up the fourth. No, Christchurch. Christchurch. To play at those. Do you have any fond memories of these four cities that you wish to share with us now

before embarking to them once again? I mean, just the gigs that I've had there have all been really cool, and I feel like the crowds were always a little bit different. Yeah. You know, like Welly's a bit different to Christchurch, but... Oh, how are they different? Well, just like, I feel like the crowds were always like a little bit different. Yeah. You know, like Welly's a bit different to Christchurch. How are they different? Well, just like, I feel like Welly's...

Wellington's cool. Wellington, they all bike in the concert on their bikes, going around the city. Totally. Drinking espresso coffees. No, but even like Dunners. Like Dunners is like, you know... They're all a cat.

They're all crazy. I've got a lot of mates. They all have cat-manded puffer jackets. I've got a lot of mates there and they're all the crazy ones. That's good, eh? Because they're the doctors and stuff. Doctors and dentists.

It's actually true, though. Yeah, yeah. Lawyers, doctors, dentists. They are. All the leaders of tomorrow are at the moment keg standing

and vomiting in their own beds. Oh, they actually are. But yeah, no, like there's always like a little bit of like a kind of difference they actually are. But yeah, no, like there's always like a little bit, a little bit of like a kind of difference

between the crowds, but I'm, no, I'm just stoked. Spark Arena in Auckland too. That's huge. Like that's insane. Oh, it's crazy. I'm so excited.

Somebody's wearing red pants. I think it works. That reminds me of the 1990s. Remember Origin Jeans? They came in seven base colours. Red pants and a navy top. Daring. I like it.

You'd tease me if I wore that to work. Oh, shit. I would ruthlessly. I used to have red jeans. I don't wear those anymore. me if I wore that to work. Oh, shit. I would ruthlessly. I used to have red jeans. I don't wear those anymore. Why do you think that is? Because your best friends told you you look great in them. Yeah, that's why.

We welcome Kate to the show. Good morning, Kate. Morning. You're going to play I Better Can Guess Your Mum's Name. Now, Vaughn, you've got five questions to ask Kate to try and work out her mum's name. We'll give you 15 seconds to guess her mum's name. Yeah. You're on a losing streak too, but I'll only say that to encourage you.

Okay. To lift you up. Okay. Hi, Kate. Hi. Sorry. No, don't be sorry. You don't have to apologise for anything, Kate.

I tell you what, she was raised well, though, whoever her mum is. That was great manners there. She apologised when it was unnecessary. Question one, don't be sorry. Question one, what is the best piece of advice your mum's ever given you? Always treat people with kindness because you never know what's going on behind the scenes. Oh, that is advice we should all live by. And I'm sorry because I didn't know what was going on that day

you wore red jeans, Megan. I just really liked them. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Next question. This is the first time I've asked this question. Okay.

And you guys can tell me if I'm not allowed to ask this question. This is the first time I've asked this question. Okay. And you guys can tell me if I'm not allowed to ask this question. Okay. How many syllables is your mum's name? Oh, that's cheap. No, you can't ask a question about the name. You don't think I can ask about the structure of the name? No, absolutely not. Oh, Executive Internation

is saying yes. Why are you saying... No, because it's like saying what does the name start with? But look, he's on a losing streak. No. I don't want any hand me to... I don't want any handouts. I don't want any charity. When someone's trying to qualify at the Olympics, do we bring the finish line closer?

No, we don't. They work harder. God, that was a good analogy. Okay, forget it. Okay. Forget it. Scr, forget it. Scrub that question. What year, how old is your mum? This is a classic.

This gets asked every week. But it kind of gives us a bit of an era, you know? Sure. So she is 57. Oh, okay, okay. I reckon that gets rid of a few names. Your older names. 57. So what, 1963? Yeah, that's rid of a few names. Your older names. 57.

So what, 1963. Yeah, that's kind of like the 60s. Yeah. A bit of a change there, wasn't it? Okay. When you're sick, what's your mum's go-to recipe to make you feel better? Oh, it depends on what kind of sickness. If I've got stomach bugs, she gives me flat lemonade.

Cute. And if I've got a cold or anything gives me flat lemonade. Cute. And if I've got a cold or anything, then soup, that sort of stuff. Oh, okay. What's her soup? Is that like a beef soup or a chicken soup or a vegetable soup? Pumpkin. Oh, yeah, good. Mum knows.

Mum knows where it's at. Mum gets it. Okay, if you go out for coffee or tea, how does mum have her coffee or tea? She doesn't have coffee or tea. She has hot water. Is your mum my mum? We just talked about Megan's mum does this. I don't make pumpkin soup too. Yeah.

She doesn't have any caffeinated beverages? No. No. Never has. Wow. Body's a temple. Mmm. Yeah.

Wow. I kind of temple. Yeah. Wow. I kind of want to... No, I don't want to waste one of my questions. Well, you've got one question left. Yeah. What are your mum's siblings' names? So, Victoria, Edwin, Timothy and Helen. Oh, okay.

Oh, no. You're never going to guess it. Oh, okay. Oh, no. You're never going to guess that. Oh. Okay, well, Vaughn, you now have 15 seconds to try and guess Kate's mum's name. Kate, if you hear your mum's name, just say, stop, that's my mum's name. Okay.

All right, Vaughn, are you ready? Mm-hmm. 15 seconds starts now. Pam, Shirley, Leslie, Lorraine, Christine or Christina, Carolyn, Debbie, Colleen, Janice, Rose, Bronwyn, Sarah, Karen, Helen, Celia. Oh, you got it. What? Last Helen, Celia. Oh, you got it. What? Last name, Celia.

Was it after the buzzer? Was it after the buzzer? I'm shocked you got it. Are we giving that to them? I think we should give it to them. It was after the buzzer, though. On the buzzer. We'll go through to the adjudicator,

Executive Intern Anya, your call. On the buzzer. We'll go through to the adjudicator, Executive Antonania. Your call. I'm not impressed. Vaughan. On the buzzer. But it was on the buzzer, right? Was it on the buzzer or after the buzzer? Hang on.

What would they do on the chase? Bradley Walsh answers the question. Yep. Asks the question. Oh, I don't know what they'd do on the chase. No, because if it's on the buzzer, if it's on the buzzer, it's counted. I like to think of it as basketball. You know when it's basketball,

they're like, and it goes. And if the ball's already left the hands. Should we just give it to them? Otherwise we'll never hear the end of it. Yeah. You know the best part about it? What? I didn't even mean to say Celia. I meant to say Sis Celia. But you heard the buzzer.

She calls Cecilia all the time. Does she? Well, that means... I think I got confused because Celia who works here and I meant to say Sis Celia

because my mum's got a friend called Sis Celia. Ah. Me and my sisters have been talking about this and we're like, he's never going to get it. He's never going to get it.

Wow, and he got it. He got it. On the buzzer. Well, by mistake. Now the buzzer. By mistake. Now, Kate, because Warren guessed your mum's name. Bonus round. While you're on the phone, I'll have a go at guessing your dad's name. One guess, Warren.

No questions. Dave. Oh, no. Whoa. What? There's no discussion or anything. No. What is your dad's name? Peter. There was no discussion or anything. No. What is your dad's name?

Peter. I was going to say Peter. Yeah, bloody word, dog. I feel like I say Peter and Dave every week. Hey, well, congratulations. There's only five dads' names. Congratulations, Kate. You take away a victory there with, I bet I can guess your mum's name.

Congratulations. I don't know what prize we've got for you, but we'll delve into the uh, we're sending around one of those Newstalk ZB t-shirts we saw outside. Vaughan and I were going to steal one and pretend to work on Newstalk ZB. He doesn't want one of those.

No, you'll get cancelled pretty quickly. I think you're a Mike Hosking fan. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is about statues. A lot of chat this week, the last 10 days, about statues.

Why? Huh? I'm kidding. Well, no, for people who don't know, with Black Lives Matter, the protests and marches happening around the world, it's been thought that maybe the statues in public places celebrating people with dubious, you know, claims to fame perhaps aren't the best use of public room. And you look into some of what these people did that have statues and you're like, wow. Yeah.

Jeez. I saw a very good, like a story on Instagram and somebody said, okay, so if someone kidnaps your children and sells them into slavery, where would you like their statue put? Yeah. Nicely put. Yeah, exactly. You put it in modern context

and you think, yeah, you certainly wouldn't put up a... No. A statue of these people. Yeah. And that is also the same situation that Hungary faced at the fall of communism in Russia

because they were under communist rule. They were part of the Eastern Bloc. And today's fact of the day is rather than destroy the statues, they put them all in one place, a place called Memento Park, Memento Park, where you can go now and see the history without celebrating the history. Oh, okay. Because they said, like it or not, this was part of Hungary's past.

Well, that's what a lot of people have suggested, putting them in, taking down the statues, putting them in museums. Yeah. So when you're in there, you can learn about the history. Yeah. Of the person. Yeah. And, you know, then, because, yeah,

they said some horrific things happened in Hungary under communist rule. But it also serves a massive part of our history. And we can't pretend we've had a completely flawless history. So there are 42 statues that were taken down from around Hungary and put into Memento Park. Apparently, the most impressive one was there used to be a massive statue of Joseph Stalin. Right. The leader of Russia after World War II and kind of the head of the whole Eastern Bloc. And he said there was, well, he said this is where parades will go past.

Yeah. You'll have meetings here. There will be celebrations around my giant statue. There was a revolution and the statue got pulled down and the only thing that remained up were his boots. So then that revolution was crushed by communist forces and they never got around to fixing the statue again

so these boots became a statue. So the boots have even been picked up and moved in there because they said this is not only a reminder of the communist past, this is the reminder of the revolution and the people who lost their lives in the revolution. And now that we've moved on,

we can look back at both of these. You're not particularly attached to any of the statues around. Like, I don't care if they get ripped down. What about the Harry McCleary statues and the Tauranga waterfront? That's fine. You're okay. Let's put up favourite people that we love.

Like, rip down Captain Cook and put up the Briscoe's lady. She saved us so much money. She's done more for us than Captain Cook. You're right. Yeah. Lily from Big Saves. Yes. She saved us so much on couches.

People that are saving you money. Yes. They should be thanked with a statue. How many Sir Ruben Hillary statues do we have? Not enough. Not enough. Do we have any Kate Shepard statues? Yes, I think in Wellington there's a Kate Shepard

statue, isn't there? Good. Bang a couple more of those up. Just do what they do on those Instagram, on those bloody Facebook videos that are always popping up telling you how to do crafts. Once you've made one statue, lie them down and pack sand heavily

around them. And then remove the statue, lie them down and pack sand heavily around them. Yeah, right. And then remove the statue, put the two boxes together and pour aluminium in. You've got yourself a statue mould. Just like that. And we can just crank out a few Kate Shepards. So today's fact of the day is at the fall of communism, rather than destroy all the statues from the communist era, Hungary put them all in one single park.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. There's a story out of the UK that we want to touch on now. A 73-year-old old mate who is a serial competition winner. Won 23 free holidays, a car, World Cup final tickets, just all the stuff over his time. How much has your mum won? She loves a competition. Remember she won that trip to San Francisco?

Yeah, that's why she likes Mark Ruffalo. Because it was a Mark Ruffalo movie. Right. Even though he had literally nothing to do with that trip. He didn't even know it happened. No. No, he would never have done. The movie company would have known.

Yeah. She wins, not heaps, not heaps. Because I just... But who's had like post-in competitions? Yeah, I see competitions like, oh, enter this. I'm like, there's no chance I'm going to win. Maybe that's... Well, not if you don't enter, mate.

That's some poor attitude. Mum won a fishing line once. She's won like a mountain bike. She won that trip. She wins bits and pieces here and there. Okay. So Colin is his name and he says the secret is to never give up. He says he sees, like all his friends see him winning all the time

and they join in, but it doesn't last and he's like when they give up and that's where they lose so just by entering every single competition also he's joined a thing called

the London Competitors Club so they pay a 20 pound annual membership fee and then all of the members share tips and details

of competitions so So they literally just spend their time. I bet you there's a Facebook page in New Zealand for this. Like a competition page. Yeah. Then why would you want other people to know about these competitions? Yeah, I wouldn't share mine.

I wouldn't want to share but then I guess they're getting They're a small group of professional competition enterers. Wow. And he pays a membership fee for this. That's insane. Yeah. But it's worked for him.

He's won heaps. Okay, well, we would like to ask today you to call if you are a serial competition winner. You're not winning anything for calling her. No. You've won enough. You've won enough. You've had enough. But maybe you're just one of those people

that are just lucky. Yeah, give us your tips. Like you do enter a lot of things or maybe you just know someone like maybe your mum, like Vaughan's mum, who I'd put her up

with a semi-professional competition winner. I think she's called her jets a bit. Really? Lately. Oh yeah, compared to people that, okay,

producer Jarrah's just found one. It's called Competition Crazy New Zealand. It's got 54,000 people compared to people that, okay. Producer Jarrah's just found one. It's called Competition Crazy New Zealand. It's got 54,000 people on this Facebook group. Wow. Okay. And they share what can be, oh, okay.

It hasn't been one for a little, they haven't posted for a little while. Okay. But then I also wonder if maybe competitions have dried up a little bit. Yeah. Just because of the COVID times? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just because of the COVID times. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.

Well, this was sparked by a news story out of the UK. A serial winner, a man that even belongs to a winning, a winner's club. Over the past 35 years has won more than 23 holidays, a car, tickets to football games, all sorts. So we want to know from you if you've had this kind of luck or you know someone that is a serial winner. Kate, you're a serial winner.

I don't know if I'd say serial, but apparently so. Okay, so what are the big ones that you've won? I have won three overseas holidays. Whereabouts two? So the first one, we had a scenic flight over Antarctica, flying

business class even. Oh wow! Was that amazing? Oh yeah, that was when I was about how old would we have been? Like 20, 21. Okay. Probably totally wasted on us but we had a good time in business class. Yeah. We

have won a trip to Phuket for a week. Yeah. And the final one we won a family trip with the kids to Rarotonga. Wow. Lucky. Like the sky says, you've just got to enter everything. Yeah, pretty much. Then things just come along.

A couple of them have just been email ones. You know, like everybody, send me an email with your name and phone number. And there we go. I see those and I think, well, I'll never win, so don't bother. Yeah. But maybe everyone thinks that and that's the problem. All right, Kate, thanks for your call. Talking about serial winners, like the big loads of stuff that you've won.

Story out of the UK, professional winner, even has a 20-pound... Subscription. Yeah, to a winner's club. It's a select few people, and they'd share competition. Yeah. Details. Although we've found Facebook groups in New Zealand, people doing the same thing.

Julianne, you're a serial winner. Oh, not me, but my sister is. Okay. Yeah, she's won some quite big, exciting prizes. She won a trip to Wimbledon for two. Yeah. Did she take you? No.

Oh, rude. Rude. She won a trip to Christchurch probably seven or eight years ago and took me. Okay. Why does she win all the time if she's winning all this stuff? She enters so many things on Facebook and she does belong to a Facebook group. I can't remember what that's called, but she tags me in everything as well,

which drives me nuts. Oh, God. Those people that tag a friend in front of the page. Random strangers always tag a man in this on Instagram. She's always tagging me in things that I'd never want. Yeah, but that's how she enters. It's a common thing. Everyone that's winning a lot of stuff

is entering every single competition they can. Whereas the rest of us are like, well, this is rigged. We're never going to win. Yeah. It's wrong. I'm not quite sure why she enters some things because it's stuff that she'd never use.

And it's like, well, what are you going to do with that if you win it? Exactly. Let someone who actually wants it win it. Exactly. Hey, thanks. You called Julianne. Le. Let someone who actually wants it win it. Exactly. Hey, thanks you called Julianne. Leanne, you've won

quite a few trips. Yes. Yeah. Probably the biggest one I've won was a trip to Bangkok to see Mariah Carey. Did they wheel her out

on that office chair like the meme? No. Was it actually Mariah Carey or was it like somebody dressed up as Mariah Carey

because they do a very convincing drag routine over there No, no, it was definitely her, it was a very interesting experience And is that all you've won? No, so I've won a trip to Rarotonga as well and then when I lived in London I won a trip to Spain for the running of the gold I was going to be like, what's your secret? But you just enter everything as well. No, I actually haven't entered anything for a long time.

But that was a bit of a streak over like five years. But, yeah, I don't know. Just luck. People just say I'm lucky. Okay. All right. Well, Leanne, thanks for your call. Adam, you're a serial winner?

Yeah. So definitely not trips overseas, but I was going to say I have noticed since the radio station stopped giving out CDs, I stopped winning CDs. I used to win CDs all the time. I mean, my car doesn't even have a CD player anymore, so, I mean, it's kind of useless. But back in the day, 15 years ago, I used to win endless amounts of CDs and thought that that was just the greatest thing ever.

Nobody uses, like, even in your car, do you use CDs anymore? Nah. Not really, yeah? No, not at all. You used to have the big folders, you know, full of them. And yeah, I mean, since CDs went out, radio stations can't give them away. I heard a radio station the other, well, it must have been a month ago, doing DVD of the week.

It's like, where do you even put that? I don't even have a slot. Like, get with the program. Like, what are you, in the 90s, radio station? Don't help, though. Hey, let me know what it is, because I might go win it. Hey, Adam, thanks for your call. Some other text messages.

My cousin's a serial winner. She even started an Excel spreadsheet of everything she's won. You've got too much time on your hands. Yeah. This is, and it gets to a point where it's just taking the piss, isn't it? Like, it's just being like a greedy scrounge. And that's like entering, like you mentioned before, entering things you don't need. Or don't even want to win to sell.

Like, I don't know. I just would let someone who actually wants it win it. Yeah. But she's won a Suzuki Swift, big screen TVs, multiple overseas trips. Oh, my God. One of the trips she won was to Australia to do this, like, Outback Safari thing. She won that.

How you entered was you had to go and see the movie Australia and then enter the competition, but she didn't watch the movie. She just entered the competition and then ended up winning it. You'd have to sneakily go and see Australia just in case they ask you a question about Australia. Yeah, what if they ask you a couple of Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman related. That's right, I know the movie. I probably know more about it than the one that won the prize for it.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's Bree and Clint a listen too? Right.
