Hello and welcome to the Fletch Vaughan and Megan podcast brought to you by McCafe. Grab yourself a delicious barista made coffee for only four dollars. All right you lot listen up it's story time. All right story time three news headlines uh Vaughan and Megan as usual pick one of the following three headlines which today are all corona-related. It's pretty hard. It's very hard to find news that isn't. Yeah, we've gone over the tipping point or the waterfall,

and there's no turning back from here at the moment, finding any news story that's not related in some way. Headline one, super rich robbery. Headline two, man faces robbery. Headline two, man faces more time away in isolation. And headline three, couple stopped from hoarding purchase. I went to the market at the weekend.

The supermarket? No, no, no, there was no markets. It was the open air markets and such were off. But supermarkets are still all go. They've started limiting what you can get, like how many of the Detto wipes. That was one per customer. Oh, was it? Okay.

Bread, here's a hack. Bread was two loaves per customer per day. Right. But you know what's not limited? Hot cross buns. So you could, instead of eating bread, you could just eat hot cross buns. Which is know what's not limited? Hot cross buns. So you could, instead of eating bread, you could just eat hot cross buns. Which is bread, isn't it? Yeah. Hello, loophole.

How do they get, know if you've already bought it that day? You come back in with your moustache on and they're like, wait a minute, you've been here already. Well, I know it's, I guess they're not monitoring everybody but it's kind of a reminder to do your part.

Do the checkouts stop scanning an item if you've done too many? Yeah, they do. Do they? Okay, good. Yeah, because they've got a directive and they're getting

a lot of shit for it. So what they say, put these back. Yeah, there's a limit of two. You've got too many. Which is fair enough. Like, it's fair enough. Yeah.

Yeah, because they're still open. Yeah. And everything like that. Yeah, exactly. So someone got stopped on a purchase. On's fair enough. Yeah. Yeah, because they're still open. Yeah. And everything like that. Yeah, exactly. So someone got stopped on a... On a purchase. On a bulk order. Yeah.

I saw a supermarket in... I think it was a Danish supermarket. They've got a great way of stopping people hoarding. A supermarket full of Danishers. Danish people. In Denmark. I was just imagining just like an apple one, an apricot one. There was a sign for hand wash and it was, oh, a hand sanitizer.

And one was like $5 and then the second one is $100. Oh, so it increases exponentially. That's a great idea. That's a really great idea. So if you want that second one, sure, pay $100. And no one's going to pay $100. Wow. In fact, it might have been 100 euros or pounds.

So yeah, no one's doing that. That's expensive. All right, so which one do you want? Couple stop from hoarding purchase, man faces more time in isolation, or super rich robbery? I can't. Oh, what do you like?

Man faces more time in isolation. I liked super rich robbery. Well, you've got to decide now, don't you? Super rich robbery. You want super rich robbery? Yeah. All right, we've got to decide now, don't you? Super rich robbery. You want super rich robbery? Yeah. All right, we go down to Sacramento where police are investigating a robbery. A man threatened employees and took...

What do you think he took off with? It'll be something like tissues or toilet paper. Yes, toilet paper. And in fact, another story I found, somebody pulled up to a hotel, like a loading zone, and just took off with like 60 giant rolls of toilet paper. Like people are actually going nuts.

And this police department investigating this robbery, the man drove off in a Maserati. What? Wow. Have you ever heard in a Maserati. What? Wow. Have you ever heard of a Maserati being used as a getaway car? I just wouldn't think that it would be roomy enough. And you couldn't steal a Maserati, could you? Because surely you couldn't hotwire a Maserati. No, no, it would be quite hard.

So wait, he is super rich driving a Maserati? Well, you'd assume so. He just wanted toilet paper. Threatened staff made off with the toilet paper. Police actually gave Chase, but as you could imagine, could not keep up with the Maserati and lost sight of the vehicle. But how hard is it to track down a Maserati driver? There's not that many.

Yeah, exactly. According to the Sheriff's Department, not the first time they've received reports of theft of this kind of nature. So, yeah, crazy. It's crazy times. Not even the rich are panicking. What have they got to worry about? Well, yeah, and they can't.

I mean, some of them are trying to buy their way out of it. Yeah. Good Lord. Yeah. As your mouse on a short cord today. Just pulling a little bit of cord out. Trying to get a bit more cord, but it's on a really short. What's the point of having a corded mouse if you're going to be on such a short leash?

Yeah, maybe I'm not like a wireless one. Something like your mouse is a dangerous breed. You don't need to have it on one of those special short leads. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. COVID-19, we are as a country at alert level two at the moment. You can go to covid19.gov.nz for all the information about COVID-19. The alert levels, they're all explained there. There's good info for businesses as well.

Because, you know, a lot of businesses at the moment have to, I guess, watch where customers are sitting. Like, what about your cafe? We have to register all customers now. So then we need name, we need address, we need email, we need phone number and the time that you entered the premises. What, is this at level two? Yeah.

Just to pick up a mocha? Yeah, well, because if anyone gets ill, they need to trace it back. Which is smart. Bear with, obviously that's a lot for customers and for hospitality stuff. It was at the weekend I picked up a couple of takeaway stuff and just

the look on people's face when you actually went into a store, because you can tell some of them are struggling. Yeah. And you know, it's just that sad. They're stoked to have the business. Yeah. Weird times. And you know, it's just that sad. They're stoked to have the business. Yeah. Weird times. Vaughan, Italy. Yes, an Italian man has been arrested during the very strict

Italian lockdown to, I mean, Italy's the new centre of the coronavirus. Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't know what the update was, but yesterday it was 5,000 dead. So more people have died in Italy of coronavirus than died in September 11 attacks everywhere. Yeah. And more in Italy than in China.

China, yep. Yeah. Yep, more people there. So, and it's due to the extremely relaxed attitude early in the coronavirus spread. But an Italian man has been arrested. He's in boo trouble. He was out during the very strict lockdown. They said, what are you doing?

And he said, I have to hunt the Pokemon. He was playing Pokemon Go with his daughter. No, with his daughter? Yeah, 31-year-old man out on the streets playing Pokemon Go. And I was actually reading about it. Here's why it might be very tempting. I haven't played Pokemon Go for a long while, but apparently it might be very tempting to play Pokemon Go

because at this time you can do things called gym raids. Now, do you remember gyms? Yeah. You'd go and you'd fight, but then like now it is, you can control a gym and other people can do raids. So if you live near a gym that people can't be at all the time, you could raid it, get ownership of the gym, and hold on to that gym for the foreseeable future

during lockdowns and shutdowns. So that's... But then I've been also reading Pokemon Go has actually made some changes in-game to make it less about getting out and about because that was the good part about it. Everyone was getting out and getting some exercise. Well, it's not that environment anymore. So you now can play from home in a certain mode of this game.

Yep. And you can draw Pokemon to you more easily. Okay. Yeah. I mean, the game's changed a lot since I stopped playing it. But, yeah, you can still get out there and play it without leaving your home. What an idiot. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM.

From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six. Hello there. A man in isolation doing the right thing. Yeah. These testing times. In France, ran a marathon on his seven metre balcony. Back and forward,

back and forward, back and forward, back and forward. I've done the maths. Like a beep test, but without the pressure. Yeah, take your time. Take your time.

So, 42,200 metres is a marathon. 42.2 kilometres. That's divided by seven is 6,029 lengths. Because I was thinking you'd keep count, but you can't. Was he using Map My Run? Was he doing his splits every end of the balcony?

It'd be too small an area. He had like a Fitbit on and it was measuring his distance. Oh, okay. So he kept checking it. Yeah. But it didn't take like six hours and something, something? Yes, it did. He didn't do too bad a time.

You take into consideration how long it would take to add in turns every seven metres. Yep. And that's what he did. Wow. Nah. You don't get much of a chance to pick up any pace either. He kind of was just jogging. Yeah. You don't get much of a chance to pick up any pace either. He kind of was just jogging. Would you jog, depending on how wide it is,

you'd jog down and you'd run like a square more than a stop and turn just to keep your pace up. But anyway, he did it. So the top six other extreme sports you can do from home. Great idea. Because you're on lockdown, but you've got a need for speed, baby. You want that adrenaline pumping. Number six,

base jumping off the back of the couch. Okay, great. You go onto the couch, a bit more excitement, go the other way and just land hard on the floor. Okay. Yeah, right. Yeah. Your parachute will never get out in time. Or bring the bed out and just

fall onto the mattress. Get onto the beard. Yeah. You've got to get high and maybe climb up. On the dresser? As high as you can, yes. On the dresser and jump. Face jump onto the bed. Brilliant.

Number five on the list of the top six extreme sports you can do from home. Downhill skiing on your roof. Oh, okay. Or the stairs. Have you seen people do that? Yes. Or they fly down. You can fly down the stairs. But not everybody's got stairs? Well, they fly down. You can fly down the stairs.

But not everybody's got stairs. Yeah, true. And everybody's got a roof. Yes. The gutter is probably going to catch the ski and stop you from plummeting to the ground. That could work in your favour or could not. Again, get the bed out.

Get the bed, yeah. Yeah, I was literally... It's a lot of purposes. I was just literally thinking if you could snowboard down your stairs onto the bed, the mattress. Great idea. I mean, it sounds easy, but... Slight snowboard down your stairs onto the bed, the mattress. Great idea. I mean, it sounds easy, but.

Slight snowboard down your stairs and then hit a little ramp and then base jump. Okay. Extreme, bro. So extreme. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six extreme sports you can do from home are deep sea diving in the bath. Okay.

Run a bath. Yeah. Go face down or you put on your little snorkel mask and just shake your eyes. Yeah. And use your imagination. Now draw fishes on the bottom of the bathtub. Oh, yeah. Draw them real small because you're going to be quite close.

Yeah. Number three on the list of the top six extreme sports you can do from home, parkour. From the kitchen to the lounge. Yeah. Also known by my children as the floor is lava. Yeah. You've got to set up your little path and then it's three, two, one, floor is lava and you've got to get around without touching the ground.

Number two on the list of extreme sports you can do from home. Surfing on the ironing board. Okay. However, get a bit more extreme. Put the ironing board on top of the vacuum cleaner. Yeah. And get somebody else to pull the cord, pull the nozzle on the vacuum. You get yourself a wakeboarding situation.

Yeah. That actually sounds really fun. It does. Everything about that is going to end up broken. The ironing board's going to break. The vacuum's wheels are going to break. The tube you're pulling it from is going to break. Yeah. And whatever part of the wall the ironing board's going to break. The vacuum wheels are going to break. The chute they're pulling it from is going to break. And whatever part

of the wall the ironing board's legs or nose hits are also going to break. And number one on the list of the top six extreme sports

you can do from home abseiling. You can use that leather swing that your mum and dad have in their wardrobe that they never hang up. Although it looks like

heaps of fun. Yeah, why don't they put that outside? I don't know. Yeah. Because usually there's just that thing hanging outside, that wicker basket that you can sit in. Yeah.

But the only hook is that, so they must put that leather swing out sometimes. They should try that. That's today's top six. We're not supposed to be panic buying. We have enough food. We need to relax. And we've heard the reasons why because people then miss out.

If you take all of the goods, there's nothing left for anyone else. Yeah, I didn't get to the supermarket at the weekend. What was it? Did you guys see? It wasn't bad. I was expecting it to be pretty crazy, but it wasn't. My supermarket wasn't. Right.

Because I went pre-state of the nation address. Oh, yeah. Okay, yeah, right. I think on the telly at 12. I don't know if that was on Saturday. Yeah. Freaked people out afterwards. Every time I've been, there's been no flour, no bread.

I heard there was no yeast because people are making their own bread. Yeah, like the basics. Somebody, there was a lot because people are making their own bread. Yeah. Like the basics. Somebody, there was a lot of self-raising flour. Okay. Could you use self-raising flour in place? Say if I was going to make a schnitzel. And I go,

flour, egg, crumb, egg, crumb. It'd be a puppy. It'd be a puppy. If you were desperate, it just has like a rising agent in it. That's alright, I like a fluffy. I like a fluffy schnitzel. It'd be a puppy It'd be a puppy If you were desperate But it just has like A rising agent in it That's alright I like a fluffy I like a fluffy schnitzel It might do a little bit

Of bubbling Yeah It could be good though It could be good Try it It's not going to be bad But I mean last week The CEOs of all the

Major supermarket groups Said Just buy normally We've got enough food It's all fine And they make toilet paper Here in New Zealand We're going to be okay.

Yeah. Well, this is from a, I think this is in the UK. So a critical nurse. It's crazy there in terms of supermarkets. I saw lines around the car park. Just to get in. A critical care nurse has just finished a 48 hour shift. She's one of

the people that is looking after everyone who's sick. And she went to the supermarket and she has put up a video begging people to stop panic buying. So I've just come out the supermarket. There's no free on veg. I had a little cry in there. I'm a critical care nurse. I've just finished 48 hours of work. I just wanted to get some stuff in for the next 48 hours. There's no fruit, there's no vegetables. I just don't know how I'm supposed to stay healthy.

I know there's people and people are just stripping the shelves of basic foods. You just need to stop it. Because there's people like me that are going to be looking after you when you're at your lowest. Just stop it. Please. I mean, if that doesn't make you sit up and take notice, I don't know what will.

Just take what you need. And if we need to go, you know, regularly, I can't say that word. Regularly, yeah. The supermarkets aren't going to be closed. So just take what you need. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. From today, GPs are asked to do 70% of their consults online.

So if you need to see the doctor and I guess it's not corona related, you might, you have to Skype or ring first anyway if you're booking. They'll, I guess, tell you how to go about that. Because I guess that's the other thing. Like all this is going on, but people still need their regular prescriptions and you might need to go get a prescription. I need some more inhalers.

And I'm like, I don't know how to go about. Do I? Did we say to do that the other week? Yeah. You did. You did. You did. And I'm still working on it. Well, if you die at your funeral, we'll stand up and we'll say we told you so.

We did tell Megan last week before it gets all busy to go to the doctor and get more inhalers. But that is a very good question because how do you go about that? Yeah, and then you get a bit of guilt because you're like, well, I don't want to put any more pressure on them. And with, you know, maybe not at the levels of the immunocompromised, but it is something that you would be more affected by due to a respiratory. Yeah, and you want to get your preventers to protect yourself. But yeah, I don't know. So I'd say call your doctors.

They'll tell you. And they'll tell you because you might be able to just get that prescription. You might just be able to go in and pick it up or they might just be able to quickly call you or Skype you. FaceTime your doctor. I've got to mention

that things have come up. That's what my brother does in Australia. Does he? He started that business where he does pharmaceutical consulting over an app.

He's so smart. No, but he did this way long ago. Yeah, right. And it was pretty quiet for a while. But now, what's to smart. No, but he did this way long ago. Yeah, right. And it was pretty quiet for a while. But now it'll be picking up business now, isn't it? Then what's to stop me going, oh, I need some meth medicine. I mean, the same thing as doing it.

He's still got, I can see what you've had previously. Oh, yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. So I wouldn't be able to do it. That's not any more convincing over Skype than it is in person. They're like, fingers crossed, they're winking, they're like, I need some meth stuff.

And he's like, I can see you winking with your fingers crossed. But does he actually see them or do they just go on an app? No, it is you see them, you visually see them. Oh, okay, right. So just like, okay, yeah, right. Because do they show rashes and stuff? Do you have to be like, hang on, I've got a rash, okay, yeah, right. Because do they show rashes and stuff? Is they like, oh, put that away? Do you have to be like, hang on, I've got a rash.

Let me put it up to the camera. It's more just for people to see whether or not they need to go to a doctor or they can just go to a farmer. Because if still they need a prescription medicine, they need to get that done, I believe. He's doing so well, your brother. So smart. So smart.

Really helping the world. Yeah. Like, what have you done? Although you still are the favourite, though, eh? Are you the favourite? Definitely the favourite. Yeah, okay. I don't know.

See, my brother taking a whole load of free-range eggs to work. That's true. Yeah, good call. Well, you're our favourite. You're our favourite anyway. I would hope so. If you notice that your Netflix and YouTube are not as good a quality, maybe not yet, but I'd say it might come.

Because in Europe, in the EU, and this includes Britain, Netflix are reducing their bit rates. Because so many people are. Because there's such a strain on. Yeah, sure. And I didn't think about this because I was like, oh, yeah, your Netflix will just go slower. But it's affecting essential services online, making everything a bit slower. So they need to reduce the quality of the non-essential online services so that people can get what they need.

Right. So if you're streaming a show and it's just a little pixelated. I can see that that's going to really upset you. I'm on rural broadband, baby. We lose quality all the time. Maud's used to it. Family game night, Friday night. It's a bit of a tradition.

And given that we're avoiding crowds, just at home, usually we... Nobody take a board game to like what? No, no, the pub has them. Oh, right. Oh, really? Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

It's got different games. One of the games it has is headbands. The girls love headbands, so we bought headbands. Now, for those that don't know how headbands work... Headbands works, you put a little thing around and then you shuffle up these cards face down and you pick one up without looking at it and put it in your headband and then you've got to ask a series of questions.

You could just make that. Oh, okay. Asta from Good Morning. Retro callback. You just write some stuff on paper and then stick it to your head. You're like, we don't know what's all in there. Yeah, right right okay.

Right. Because I was thinking about that because the girls want this other game called Actions and it's basically charades but for kids

it's like real simple things. Yeah. And I was like oh we could just make them and then Shade's like well if you make the cards you're already at an advantage because you know

what's in there. Yeah. True. And that's just sort of how seriously we take family game on. I can make the cards for you. So we got, yeah, you should do it.

Some homemade. And then I pay you for it. And then I might as well have bought it from the store. See, so I bought headbands. Yeah. Went home. Strapped it in. It's always a nice opening.

When you've played a board game and it's been like a secondhand one, when you get it like brand new and you get to take the cards out. Oh, yeah. Unwrap the plastic. Yeah. Perfect condition. And then you just throw the plastic out the window and you're like, return to nature, plastic.

Yeah. And then you spread the cards out and they're nice and crisp. Sometimes they're like a little bit stuck together. You need to give it a... Oh, yeah. That's good. Yeah, that's good stuff. So we started playing headbands.

I also bought Skip Bow, which I was told was a card game by the makers of Uno. Now I'm like, now that's a card game. No, Skipbo is like. So hard. Yeah. We tried to watch a tutorial on how to play it. No idea.

Later on today, I might go online and I might say, who knows how to play Skipbo? And then have like a video call with them. Why not just play Uno? And then they can teach me how to play Skipbo. Just play Uno. No, I know we've got Uno. Right, okay.

Looking for some variety. So Skipbo was too hard, so we got back into headbands. How did headbands go wrong? Well, headbands, the rules, we've been playing it wrong. It came with an egg timer and we were always like, at the pub, we're like, what's the egg timer for? Okay. But we used to play it like, if we were playing it now,

I'd ask a question and if the answer was yes, I'd get to ask another question and I could ask a series of questions until the answer was no and then it would be Megan's turn. Yeah, that sounds right. So no, the idea is that you flip the egg timer over and while that's going, I can got, I can ask as many questions as I can. Oh, really?

Yeah. And it gets quite freaky because like, you're thinking one question at a time, but you kind of need to be thinking three questions at a time.

Yeah, right. And then say, how do you win, headband? You guess what your thing is. Okay, right. So it could be an animal, could be a food, could be a thing.

Yep. You know, you've just got to guess what's on your head. Right. So, and they can only, you can only ask yes,

no questions. So in the first round, flip. Right. So, and you can only ask yes, no questions. So, in the first round, flip. Yeah. Over I go. Now, I start asking my questions. Am I an animal? Yes. I'm like, okay, cool.

Do I have fur? And there's, it was a very early question. Do I have fur? Yeah. And there was, um, yes. Oh, God. Do you have fur? Okay, yeah. And then Andy's like, hold on. And there was, um, yes. Oh, God. Do you have fur? Okay, yeah.

And then Andy's like, hold on. And went over and whispered it. And Shardo's like, no, no, no. Yeah, you've got fur. And I was like, okay, am I at the zoo? Yes. Am I at Auckland Zoo? Yes.

Do we like seeing them at Auckland Zoo? Yes. Okay, so I've got fur. How many, do I stand on two legs or four? Two. Okay, two legs. Fur. Auckland Zoo likes seeing Zoo. Yes. Okay, so I've got fur. How many, do I stand on two legs or four? Two. Okay, two legs. Fur. Auckland Zoo likes them. Monkey. Am I a type of monkey? No. Oh, they have four legs.

But they stand on there too, don't they? Yeah. So I went meerkat. No. I was like, okay, size-wise, am I smaller than a fridge? Yes. Okay, so two legs, fur, and then my time's running out. What is that? No idea what that is. And so I miss out. Yep.

So the whole thing goes around. It gets back to me. I'm still on my criteria. Yep. I'm at the Auckland Zoo. I like seeing it at the Auckland Zoo. Smaller than a fridge. Smaller than a fridge.

Fur. Two legs. Kiwi. No. Fur. Because they don't have fur. They have feathers. Because they are a bird.

And this, sir, is my issue. Mine was a penguin. Well, they have feathers. That's not fair. I know. And I didn't even consider that because one of my early questions was, do I have fur? And the answer was yes.

And so Shardé's like, it's not feathers. Oh, my God, Shardé. Are you kidding me? It's a bird. It's a quintessential element of the bird. Yeah, yeah. They are covered in a feather. It's too thick to be feathers.

I was like, woman, please. And then he's like, I tried to tell her. I was like, eight-year-old, smarter. Wow. I mean, I've played Pictionary with you and your wife before. We don't. Yeah, you can't play that anymore, can you? No, we can't play Cranium.

There's a long list of games we can't play. We played Cranium at the weekend. And the rule is, and I always say this, we have to be on the same team. No! Because otherwise, no, because if we're on different teams, we fight. Get shitty. So we thought we were on the same team. Yeah. We've played Cranium were on the same team. Yeah.

And we've played cranium with you before, right? Yeah. And Shade, the humming one, she'll be humming and I'll be like, keep going. And she's like, no. I'm like, oh, do a different part of it. She's like, no. I just did that part.

I was like, well, do it again. And she's like, no, I'm not going to do it again. I was like, our time's running out. Quick, hum something. And she's like, no. I don't know. I'm not going to do it any better than I did the first time. I'm like, well, just do it again. Our time's running out. Quick, hum something. And she's like, no, I don't know. I'm not going to do it any better than I did the first time.

I'm like, we'll just do it again then. But in your team, I would always put you as the performer. No, because we were doing the alternate so you couldn't do it

two rounds in a row. So then the next time we played it, a long time later, we weren't going to be on the same team. So I teamed up with Sade's brother

and while we clicked, we had a chemistry. We were just, I'm going to be like, I'll be like Michael Jackson, Billie Jean. And they'll be like, yep. And we'll be like, boom, boom, boom. We were the cranium dude. We were done, and everyone else was still in a sucker

in the first quarter of the board. And then she got really shitty at me because she said, now you're showing off that you're winning. I just was like, I'm just going to get a drink. And then I went up and I was getting a drink, and she's like, there he is, getting a drink. And I was like, what is your problem? You don't need to make such a big deal about winning.

I was like, I'm just getting a drink. Yeah, but you've walked away from the board. I was like, huh. So we don't play that at all anymore. Now, we need to be careful about, of these kind of situations, heading into, like, a pandemic lockdown. Because there's nowhere to go. No. You can't leave the house if you pack a tanty.

You have to go to the room. Like, Andrew is such a bad winner. Like, he rubs it in everyone's... What? By being like, I might actually get something to drink. You know how in cranium, if you don't get it right, you don't get a roll? Every time he's like, you don't get to roll. And you're like, I know that.

Oh, okay. I mean, he shouldn't be rubbing it in. No. See, I would never say that. Constantly being like, oh, I can't help but noticing how close we are to the end. I'm like... I think I came back with the coffee or drink I had and I would have been like.

Shouldn't have been like, oh God. Stop sipping so smugly. It was a smug sip. It was a smug sip. Okay, so I think we should take some calls on this. 0800-DARZATM9696, has a board game uh or a games night turned ugly because i think if we share these stories now we can learn from this going in uh to like a board game lockdown situation we're talking about when uh a game a family game night or, you know, this is the thing. If there's a lot more of isolation and kids aren't going to school

and, you know, that's something we have to consider happening soon and probably for the better. We're going to have to learn to pass the time. Where was it where divorce rates are going up? China. China because everyone's like hanging out together. Home and work got cancelled and everything. And they're having to see each other more than...

Playing board games. Just a little bit in the morning and night. Taylor, when did a board game night go bad for you? Okay, so when even me and my family play Monopoly Deal, we rarely have a go at each other. So how's Monopoly Deal different? Yeah. I've seen it.

It's based on cards, right? Yeah, and you have to get about three properties. I don't know how you sum it up, but you have to get about three properties to win. Right. And, Sarah, can someone be the banker? Because I always like being the banker, Taylor, because then if I need a loan, I can just get a loan from the bank.

Yeah, we literally cheat and stuff. Yeah, great. Okay. We will save up cards and we will, like, pick on each other. We'll turn on one person if they win the first time and we do a second round. We'll all turn on them. Wow, brilliant.

Okay, and then so has that even ended in, like, people not talking to each other? Close. Yeah, good, brilliant. Okay, and then so has that even ended in like people not talking to each other? Close. Yeah, good, good. My dad once goes after, I think he got all my mum's cards and he goes, here's my cuddles for the night. Oh, that's pretty cute from dad. Wow.

Yeah. Brilliant. Taylor, thanks. You call some text messages. It's Monopoly seems to be the one we're hearing the most about. Right. We haven't played Monopoly in around 20 years after Dad destroyed the board,

threw all of his money in the houses that asked, called Mum a cheating wench and stormed off with a soul for a few hours. A cheating wench. What is it about Monopoly that just... Is it because the... But if you think about it, it's a real reflection upon society, you know?

Like all the players are trying to get the most money and all the money and there's a few real meltdowns along the way. Yeah. Now, I have never played Articulate. Have you guys played Articulate? No. Can you look up what's involved in that?

Because that's another one that we're hearing a lot about. I haven't talked to a friend for four years since the game of Articulate. Okay, so it's- And also also uninvited to my wedding too. It's a board game where players describe words from six different categories to their team as quickly as possible. So you've got to describe the words. And every time you have to do six.

Well, that sounds like a good fight starter. Yeah, that does. Because then if people don't know what the word means or how to. Yeah, Shadow will be like, it's a bird with fur. And I'll be like, no, sweetheart, no, it's not. No, it's really not. My partner does this thing where he plays dumb about how a game works, but he's played the game lots of times.

Like a monopoly, everyone goes easy on him because he's like, we never had this growing up. Oh. He's trying to hustle. Yeah up. It's an absolute hustle. I've actually started calling him out about it now. I don't even care. I'm like, no, he knows exactly how to play this. My partner once kicked one of our good friends out of games night

because she was, quote, so shit at Trivial Pursuit. He also accused me of cheating him because he can't stand losing. There's no such thing as friends game night anymore. How do you cheat at Trivial Pursuit. He also accused me of cheating him because he can't stand losing. There's no such thing as friends game night anymore. How do you cheat at Trivial Pursuit? Like you either know the answer or you don't.

Unless you were Googling. Yeah, Googling or something like that. I just need to go to the toilet. Again. It's your 13th time go to the toilet. Hubby and I played Monopoly with the kids.

It was his idea but then he got so angry he lifted the board game up and stormed off because the kids weren't following the rules 100%. Keeping in mind, our kids are 6 and 10. Wow.

Yeah. All right, next on the show, it was March 11 that we asked you if you're still going to go on dates during the current climate, during corona. Now, that poll result from the 11th is way different to the poll result that I've got now because we've asked the same question on our Instagram poll today.

And it's quite surprising. We're going to go through that next on the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast, ZM. The NRL is expected to issue a list of banned activities for their players. And among the banned activities are dating apps, Tinder and Bumble. They've said casual intimate contact is an absolute no-no. Are they going to say Grindr or does it just go without saying?

Because you can't tell me there's that many players. Players and there's not a few. They wouldn't have a profile photo though, would they? They'd probably just have like an abs pic. An abs pic. yeah, yeah. Just to lure you in. Lure you in. You're a snapper in the deep and they're just

dropping a little soft ring. And then be like, I don't do face pics. And you'd be like, why? You're in the NRL. No, no, no. You've got to figure that out when you meet them. The NRL saying don't use Tinder and dating apps, but I would have thought that would have gone without saying at the moment.

Right? Even I'm surprised they're still playing. Australian states, Victoria, New South Wales, today are going into lockdown. So movies, cafes, bars, restaurants, everything. I believe schools are still open, a lot of them, but everything else locked down. Right.

Because it's just out of control there. Are you actually surprised you have to tell guys not to? So I put up, I reposted a meme at the weekend about Tinder, and the amount of people that were just like, it is going, like they're not

meeting people, but I had messages from people saying, this girl was like, my Tinder is popping. Oh yeah. Because everyone's bored. Because everyone's bored, so they're chatting, but they're messages from people saying, this girl was like, my Tinder is popping. Oh, yeah. Because everyone's bored. Because everyone's bored, so they're chatting, but they're not necessarily hooking up. Yeah, right. Well, this is what.

Somebody in self-isolation that I know said they just popped on there to see what their likes were like because they needed the self-esteem boost. That's true, right. Well, that could give it to you. It could be good, though, because everyone's actually chatting rather than, you know, like you might actually get to know someone. So on the 11th of March, so what is that, 12 days ago,

we said to you on our Instagram poll, now bear in mind this had thousands and thousands of votes, so it's a pretty good sample size. We said, is the fear of coronavirus putting you off going on dates? 93% of people said no way. It's not.

93. Now that is 12 days ago. So we know how much the world is changing 93% of people said no way. 93? 93. Now that is 12 days ago. So we know how much the world is changing even in a couple of days. So we asked the same question just this morning. Are you still open to going on dates amid the COVID crisis? 87% said no way. So it's an actual total flip in 12 days.

Wow. 13% though said, yep, they're still fine. They're fine. And bearing in mind the images that were coming out of Courtney Place and bars at the weekend

that were absolutely packed with no social distancing. Guys, come on. It's crazy. Wow. Yeah, I'm actually quite happy that at least 80 something percent have said no. Yeah.

We need to work on the rest. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Previously on Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Well, we've just found out Mountie doesn't have insurance. If you missed that, Mountie has a name, but we refuse to let you know it. She doesn't have, her and her partner. Yep. You guys aren't engaged, eh?

Nah. I was going to say fiance, but then I was like, was that a touchy subject? Yeah, touchy. Oh. Now I don't want it to make it seem like you've had that conversation with us About him

But have you? Does that feel No Anyway you're in enough trouble Shall we do this now? Yeah no No we need a break for later in the day Break it up Mountie

Save these things for Alright alright Maybe tomorrow we can fit that in Good I love that We found out that you and your partner have a car but you don't have insurance Yes that is correct And well we even talked about it and then we have a car, but you don't have insurance. Yes, that is correct. And, well, we even talked about it,

and then we took calls from people who have been in accidents or been on the receiving end of people who don't have insurance. And there were people paying off, like, hundreds of thousands of dollars at, like, $50 a week. Then you came to us sometime later and said, guys, great news, I've got roadside assist. And we were all like, what? That's not insurance.

That's not insurance. No, but it's great to have. And most insurance comes with free roadside assist. No one tells me this. Bear in mind, I'd say we would have talked about that nearly two months ago. Do you reckon? At least six weeks ago. Look, it was some time before today.

But it was long enough that I'm sure we should have scared you into getting insurance that day, but it didn't work. No, but you guys gave me a lot of shit for getting roadside assistance. Heaps, yep. But it turned out to be such a good idea, you guys. What, did you need it?

Well, no, actually not yet. Okay. But what happens when you sign up with like AA is that they send you like a big envelope and it came with like a booklet of information and a welcome letter and stuff. And there was also a tiny envelope within the big envelope. And inside that, there were like vouchers and stuff. So there was like 40% the movies there was like deals on pet insurance i don't have a pet but i was like i could get a pet what i could get one now yeah

and get insurance for it yeah great but the one that actually caught my eye said that if you take out a new policy with us yeah we'll give you a 50 prezizi card. That's free money. You don't have to be an accountant to know that that's a good return. That's free money, yeah. Return on investment, good. So you signed up for insurance. So long story short, I am now the proud owner of a $50 Prezi card. Yay! And insurance.

And full comprehensive. Full comprehensive. You went straight to the full. Yeah, baby. You didn't go third party. insurance. Full comprehensive. You went straight for the full. Yeah, baby. You didn't go third party. Oh, my God. You went full. She was very convincing on the phone.

Yes, of course she was. Mum and your two dads are so proud. Oh, my God. That's good. I was expecting you to say that you had third party. Yeah, that too. Wow. Wow, deep end.

That is so good from you. Now you can just drive like a lunatic. I know. Yeah. I totally wasn't before. Now you're free to do it. Well, that's good. Right.

Very good. So what are you going to put the $50 Prezi card towards? Well, the world's my oyster. Also, this is not like a hashtag spawn for AA. I'll be sending them an invoice. Yeah, you should. Definitely. Or another Prezi card.

Or they could give you a Prezi card. Yeah, exactly. Easy. Yes, paid in Prezi card. Or they could give you a Prezi card. Yeah, exactly. Easy. Yes, paid in Prezi cards. So proud of you. Yeah, well done. That's really good. So how old are you again?

I'm 24. First insurance at 24. Also a bit of insight for insurance companies as to what it takes to get people on board. I know, right? Like, that's ridiculous. A little $50 Prezi card. A little of them in with a little,

like, what they're going to be paying you back immediately, but a little of them in with a little promise of a Prezi card. Exactly. All right. Next on the show, we're going to talk to Sam Johnson, who is the head of the Student Volunteer Army. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. We need to hear about positive people

doing positive things in the world right now, and one of those people is Sam Johnson from the Student Volunteer Army. Good morning, Sam. Kia ora, guys. What a pleasure to be on your show. Oh, Sam, it's our pleasure to have you. We're just no good at anything, and look at you out there saving the world. Well, hey, we're always looking for volunteers, so I think you guys would make a good addition. These two here, Sam, you don't want.

They'd be too much perving and not enough working. These two. Your student volunteer army fall right into the demographic of these two. Excuse me. I'll stop short of calling them predators, Sam, but... I was about to say, Sam, I'm in. Right between the lines. Yeah, I can see that explanation going to your husband well, Megan.

How much is to help these volunteer students? I think we can find you something, a perfect little task. I'll handpick them myself actually today and I'll send them through. Now, so some questions. So this was, we remember you after the Christchurch earthquake and all the students that stepped up. Is this nationwide or just in Canterbury? It's nationwide.

Over the last three years, we've built a high school program and a primary school program and really just built our little charity up. So there's groups we're working with and there's volunteers we've got in our own database right around the country. So anyone can request help anyway, anywhere. And basically we use Facebook to recruit people wherever you are. Nana's in Taupo. We can recruit someone in Taupo. We can recruit someone

in Taupo to come and do some grocery shopping for us. Sam, you guys kind of got a real, like Fletch said, after the earthquakes. Should you be putting more time into studying if you're still a student 10 years later? I'm not still

a student, thankfully. But there's about five of us who are not students who work on the project and a whole heap of advisors and we're just talking with some counsellors about getting some people seconded to help us just so that the student side of Student Volunteer Army, that they only have to do about two hours' work a day. Sadly, they've done basically full-time

for the last 10 days straight putting this together. Wow. It's an amazing group. So you mentioned you might be able to do some grocery shopping for the elderly. What are the kind of jobs you guys are helping out with? Yeah, so if you think about it, it's kind of like Uber Eats at the supermarket without the Uber part. Right.

People can jump on our website and they can actually, as of later on today, there'll be a payment mechanism where you'll be able to tell us how much do you authorise us to spend and what do you want us to buy from which shops? And then what we do is we go and buy that stuff, we drop it off at your door, and if you're happy with it, then we charge your credit card. Right.

Aww. And, of course, the whole time there's no contact between the person who's in isolation or the elderly person. No, that's right. Everyone's super gloves and masks on, no contact. isolation or the elderly person? No, that's right. They're usually on the doorstep, right. Everyone, super gloves and masks on, no contact, dropping the things at the door. But we realise there's a lot of people,

imagine a whole country of 70-year-olds, and that's not really that old anymore, but they're locked up in their house. So how can we support them, and particularly with online shopping being quite overwhelmed at the moment? Yeah. What we're saying is if you know someone who actually could use some shopping being delivered, give us a call or jump on our

website and request help, and we'll find someone to come and give you a hand. And then the other big area is childcare. Think of all the GPs in the country who are working from home, or maybe have kids nearby them, particularly when holidays start.

So if you need someone to come and be in the house and actually while you're there and look after the kids for up to two hours or look after the kids while you pop to the shop, that's something that we can consider as well. A bit more case-by-case basis to check that the person really does need it and we're not exploiting the volunteers. We just really want to be able to help where we can to unlock capacity in the health system

so the most critical people can stay working and keeping us all safe. Oh, you guys do an amazing, amazing job, amazing work. So I'm at the website now, sva.org.nz. There's a section there where you can request help, like you say, or you can be a volunteer if you'd like to volunteer. And also, maybe if you're listening now

and you don't need to request help or maybe you can't volunteer, there is a way to donate as well. So you can donate to help out the Student Volunteer Army. Sam, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. And, yeah, amazing job. And thanks for all your work. No, my pleasure, guys. The phone number's just 0800 005 902

because there's heaps of people who can't use the computer out there. So just give us a call. Of course. Okay, that's great. And maybe if people know of some elderly in their neighbourhood as well, you can put them on or help them make the call. Sam, thank you so much. Make the call for them.

Nominate them. Cheers, guys. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Am I a bad person? This is where we find if someone's a bad person, they've got to come to us with a moral conundrum. This one, I don't know if, not really moral, but to us with a moral conundrum. This one I don't know if not really moral, but

they've definitely got a conundrum. Okay. And it does involve their boyfriend. Okay. This is very interesting. Hi FVM. The email reads I first met my boyfriend Sam two years ago and by pure coincidence his dog has the same name

as my dog, Charlie. Okay. Ever since we met he's been asking me to change my dog's name because she's the youngest of the two Charlies and he doesn't like the idea

of having two dogs with the same name. He thinks it's confusing for both us and the dogs. Wait, how long have they been together? Two years. Two years

and it's still this is an issue. How long have these dogs got to live? Like if she had it or she'd already had it 13 years and then two more years, that dog's got to be on the... Well, she said her Charlie is the youngest of the two Charlies, but doesn't specify age. His might be the one closer to them.

I disagree, though. My Charlie responds really well to her name, and I think it would be extremely difficult for her to adapt to a name change, I imagine, for any dog. Whereas Sam's Charlie doesn't respond to her name at all, and I believe she could probably adapt to a name change easier than my dog, although that's the older of the dogs. Yeah, okay.

We've recently moved in together now, and Sam has been pushing the issue even more about changing my dog's name but I'm refusing to budge. Either Sam changes his dog's name to something else or we deal with having two dogs named Charlie. Am I a bad person for not wanting

to change my dog's name? No! I couldn't imagine changing your pet's name halfway through. Could you? No! Because when we got your pet's name halfway through. Could you? No. Because when we got Leo, his name was Robin because him and his brother, his brother was Batman. Yeah, right. But it wasn't a Robin and he was only tiny.

He was only a baby. So he doesn't know. No. Well, I just Googled, it's easy for your newly adopted dog to learn a name. Don't feel the dog cannot learn a new name and don't feel the dog can't learn a name completely dissimilar to its last name.

Well, the other thing is like, I don't know if this is for everyone, but I call Leo a multitude of things. Well, none of our pets have one name. Yeah. Like lots of different names. So just start calling him Lizard all the time. Dee, Doofa.

Doofa. Doofa, because he is a doofa, but that's Ralph. Your dog. That's Ralph the dog. But Lulu was like, Lulu, Wiz, Wizzy Woo. Luz. Lulu, yeah, Luz. The cats have all got multiple names. I blame my wife's stupid family for this, because

yeah, they give a pet a name, but then call it anything but its bloody name. Yeah, but that's cute. But it's all the tone, right? They understand the tone and... Does Charlie have another nickname, maybe? You could go with that. We'll call it Chili. Chili and Charlie or something.

I mean, it doesn't matter, does it? This guy's also putting his dog ahead of you. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah, and this seems like a weird argument. So it's coming to a head because they've moved in together. Yeah. Whereas up till now, it hasn't been an issue. And that I want, especially the boyfriend doesn't want to have two dogs named the same.

But she refuses to change it. Okay, well, what do you think? Is she a bad person for not wanting to change her dog's name? Yeah. Saying he should change his dog's name. I don't know if anyone's going to be on his side. This is stupid. Yeah.

Isn't it? But I don't know. Maybe you've been in a similar situation. Maybe you've got some advice. 0800 dials at M9696. Maybe you've had a dog that maybe someone didn't like the name of your pet. Yeah, you changed it. And so, you know, that became an issue.

Or like rescue dogs. If you adopted a dog, did you change the name? Yeah.. Yeah, you changed it. And so, you know, that became an issue. Or like rescue dogs. If you adopted a dog, did you change the name? Yeah. Am I a bad person? So today's argument is about dogs. So Sam and his girlfriend

is the one that's messaged in. They have moved in together. They've been together two years, but they've both got dogs named Charlie. I like how she outed her boyfriend's name, but not hers. She wants to remain anonymous.

So you know someone called Sam with a dog? With two dogs named Charlie. Yeah, not hard to work out, is it? No. The problem is they both have two dogs called Charlie. When they met, they had these dogs. Yeah. And her boyfriend wants her to change her dog's name.

She doesn't want to. How is this even an argument? Like, just let it go. Yeah, well, it's a good thing if that's all they're arguing about. Yeah, this is true. All right, well, is she a bad person for not wanting to change her dog's name? Not many people disagreeing. Rachel, good morning.

Hi. What do you think? Is she a bad person or not? Nah, not a bad person. I think he's being totally unreasonable. Like, if he's just so mad about it, he should just change his dog's name, right? Yeah, but he's got the older dog,

just playing devil's advocate. His dog's had the name Charlie longer. Yeah, but she said he also doesn't respond to Charlie. And like you said, Warren, dogs are open to learning a new name. Very open. I mean, let's be honest, whoever's feeding them, they'll be happy, right? Yes.

Okay, Rachel, thanks for your call. Melissa, what do you think? Is she a bad person? I've actually been in the same situation before, funnily enough. Me and my partner have both had dogs called Buster. Right. Yeah, good dog, man. Yeah, clearly. And, yeah, we just kept them the same because the dogs are risky.

And then you call one, they'd both come. And if you growl at one, it's a warning to the other. So what was it like when you met your boyfriend and you both discovered that you had a dog called Buster? Were you just like, oh, my God, this is meant to be? Yeah, at the time, it felt like it was really right because of that. But are you still together now? Yeah, we are.

Oh, okay. See, it was meant to be. It was meant to be. Brilliant. Melissa, thanks for your call. Sam, what do you think? Is she a bad person? Yeah, I think she's a bad person.

I mean, she's just a lot more complex and everything reflects more than that. Oh, really? But it doesn't matter that you've both got a dog called Charlie. It doesn't matter. But he's not being flexible either. Dogs don't even know their name. They just come to your voice. Yeah, that's true.

But why shouldn't she change the dog's name? Why doesn't he change his dog's name? Well, I just think she should change her name. Her dog's name. I just think you love an argument, Sam. You're in the mood to argue today. See? Not wrong.

No, because she would have argued with you. Oh, you're never in the mood to argue. She was truly in the mood to argue. Exactly. I don't want to argue now. She's giving me the silent treatment there, just not responding. She doesn't want to prove you right. All right. Hey, thanks for your call treatment there, just not responding. She doesn't want to prove you right. All right.

Hey, thanks. You call Sam some text messages. Yeah. Somebody has raised a very good point regarding this, and that is that she should rename hers Charlie 2 and his could be Charlie 1. Okay. And that's only on age.

Or maybe if she gets an early, she could have Charlie 1. Charlie the second. Or they both change the dog's names. So nobody's Charlie. Yeah, and then just call them one and two. That's a good point, yeah. Someone says she's not a bad person. It sounds like her boyfriend's very controlling

and just needs to chill out about the whole thing. Yeah, like what else is he controlling? If he can't accept you and your dog called Charlie, get rid of him. And someone just said, I think she's a bad person. Very simply put. They just sound like they want an argument too today. It is one of those days though.

Yeah. Flesh, Fawn and Megan. The podcast. ZM. It's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, tay. Today's fact of the day is about turquoise. The colour.

Same colour of the Spanish Army's uniform. Is that the colour of the Spanish Army's uniform? If you weren't listening if you weren't listening earlier this morning Megan has found photos of the Spanish Army online and I thought it was a Mardi Gras uniform.

Like I just thought it was a group dressing up. Is it appropriate to share on my Facebook page? Like people need this now right? Well I think they need it. Yeah they need to know

A they need to know that Spain's safe and B they need that in their lives. That's turquoise, right? It's like teal. It's like a tealy blue. Like they say, turquoise waters. Swim in the delightful turquoise waters. Yes, yes, yes.

They do. So it's about that. The New Zealand Army uniform, it's not Oh no, the New Zealand Army uniform I think it's fine. It's not a fence, but it's I mean, it's practical, but it's not. Very practical defence force. Where can people see fence, but it's, I mean, it's practical, but it's not. Very practical Defence Force uniform. Where can people see that, Megan? Are you going to post that?

Oh, the Spanish. Shall I post it on my Facebook? I think people need. Okay. They need any kind of light relief they can at the moment. I'm not trying to exploit them. They're doing a great job. I just feel like you need to see this.

Fair enough. Sure, yeah. So the fact of the day, yes, it's about Turquoise the Colour. Okay. But Turquoise the Colour got its name from Turquoise the Mineral. Okay, I didn't know there was a Turquoise Mineral. It is a hydrated phosphate of copper and aluminum, and it has a chemical formula of CuAl6PO4 4OH8 or H2O.

Oh, yeah, that's what I thought. That's what you thought it was. Yeah. Because of the phosphate. Is it the same colour as turquoise? Is that why? Okay. It is the very same colour as turquoise.

It is that colour that turquoise, the colour, it is the rock that turquoise, the colour is named after. And it is called that because the original mines of it belonged to the Turkish people. So when they got the mine, they called it turquoise, as in it is the rocks of the Turks. It's blue like a Caribbean beach water. Oh, it's a beautiful rock. Look at that, Megan.

Look, they've polished that rock. Oh, that's... That's real pretty. That's beautiful. So now turquoise, the gemstone, has named turquoise the colour and has the same origins of naming as turkeys the bird. Because remember they named turkeys the bird because they came from the Turkish ports.

Yeah, right. When they first came to Europe, they said it's the Turkish bird. And then they just dropped the Turkish and they said it's a turkey bird. And now there's turquoise colour, the rock from Turkey. Huh. So turquoise and turkeys have the same origin. They were just named because they came from the area or through the ports of Turkey. Huh.

So imagine if you saw a turquoise turkey. Oh, there's a... That would be cool. That would be... But you won't. It'd be freaky. But like a peacock? Yeah. Peacock's got a turqu. It'd be freaky, I guess. But like a peacock? Yeah.

Peacock's got a turquoise turkey. Yeah, a bit of that. So today's fact of the day is turquoise the colour and turkeys the bird are both named after turkey either place. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Good morning, welcome to Bluffel Stuff. Basically, we have a prize, a Fitbit Versa, and you have to tell us who is holding it. We're all going to lie and you have to tell us who's got it. Well, one of us isn't lying. Like last week, I wasn't lying, but people thought I was.

It was rude. You just don't sound sincere. Vicky, good morning. Good morning. All right, so this is the third week and nobody at this stage has managed to pick who was bluffing. That just means we're all really good liars, right? Yeah, doesn't it? Yeah.

All right, so Vicky, who wants to start? Vicky, you get to ask us each questions. Okay. To work out if we're holding your prize or not. Okay. I will start with Fletch. Okay. You had it yesterday.

I had it last week. Yeah, I did. Yeah, you're right. Last week. Sorry. Have you... Oh, how do I want to pose the question? I'm trying to outsmart you, but I don't feel very smart right now.

It's not, it's impossible, Vicky, it's impossible. See, I don't think it's outsmarting in the asking the questions, you just got to, yeah, maybe ask an easy one. Like I said last week, Vicky, because I'm holding it again, the first time I picked it up last week, it was a lot heavier than I expected, and same this week, I'm always surprised by, I think the packaging is heavy. I mean, there's obviously a manual in there. Didn't you say last week it was lighter than you thought it was going to be?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Okay, cool. No, last week you said it was heavier than you thought it was. No, heavier than I expected. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's a smallish box and I was like, well, I didn't think that would be as heavy. Okay. But yeah, you know, it's got all the... Or and I was like, well, I didn't think that would be as heavy. Okay. But, yeah, you know, it's got all the— Or are you confused because you're not holding it?

Are you confused about what you thought? I'm definitely holding it again, Vicky. Yeah, no, he's not holding it. I don't think it—because the consistency's not there. Why? Because you're holding it, are you? Correct. Vicky, in my hot little hand, again, I have the Fitbit Versa. Uh-huh. Okay. Which hand are you holding it in? And again, I have the Fitbit Versa.

Which hand are you holding it in? My right hand, which is also the hand that I wear my watch on. And people are always like, you've got your watch on the wrong hand. And I say, excuse me, I'm an individual, but why don't you follow the flock, sheep? Well, that's the hand I would wear it on. What about you, Megan? Which hand would you wear it on? I wear it on my left hand because I've got bangles on my right hand.

I don't actually know what hand a watch is supposed to go on because I can't, like, read the time. Analog. You can only do digital. But she's not holding the box, Vicky.

She's not holding the box. I am holding the box. No, you're not. Because I can tell you the accurate colour of what this Fitbit Versa is. Can anyone else tell me Yeah, I said last week it's champagne

and champagne, isn't it? Are you locking in that as your answer? Rose. I think I said it was rose. Yeah, because I'm looking here, rose. It has a peach band and a rose gold aluminium case. You don't even sound... That's not true. That's the colour of her bangle on her hand that she's looking at. You literally

said, I'm reading this off the box and then you were like I'm... Someone read the box, and then you were like, um, uh, uh, uh. Someone read me the serial number. I can read you this. 744-887-648-E-A-7-4. I can tell you that the barcode that Vaughan read out is wrong because all New Zealand barcodes start with 9-4. She wanted the serial number.

9-4-6-7-2-8-9-2. Yes, she won the serial number. That's not accurate because the barcode on the box I'm holding says 8-1-6-1-3-7. You liar! Too slow. She's saying it too slowly because she's making up numbers. 8-1-6-1-3-7-0-2-9-1-1-7. I can read out numbers fast.

So 6-4-8-2-4. But can you repeat what you just said? Because I can. I said 8-1-6-1-3-7-0-2-9-1-1-7. That's Megan's phone number. That's because you're reading that number online. 8-1-6-1-1-3-7- I'm saying the same thing. That's her phone number, but I'll do one

in front of that. Call it and you can get a direct line to Megan. Alright, well, Vicky, you now need to eliminate. You need to eliminate one of us. Okay, I eliminate Fletch. I don't think you have it now. And now it's stressful. Because I was eliminated first last week, Vicky, and you know what happened?

I had it all along. You had it, didn't you, Vicky? I had it all along. I know, but then I think you're trying to fake me because you already had it last week, and then, like, what are the chances you have it again? It's quite easy to have it again, Vicky. There's only three of us. Yeah, one out of three. Okay, like, what are the chances you have it again? It's quite easy to have it again, Vicky. There's only three of us. Yeah, one out of three.

Okay, well, Vicky. We're doing what I like to call a Gapped Double Bluff because I had it the first week, Fletch had it last week, and this week I have it again. No, we've shared it around. It's called a Gapped Double Bluff. We're not going to share. You think we share here?

That's madness. Okay, Vicky, any further questions before you choose Vaughn or Megan? Oh, no, there's nothing I can really say. Try and read the barcode again. Silence now until she has decided. I've got it, Vicky. I'm literally going to eeny, meeny, miny, moe it. Oh.

Let him go. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe it. Megan has it. Well, I don't appreciate your methods but Vicky That is correct.

Yay! I was reading the barcode I don't know what Fletch is on about. She guessed she didn't even believe you.

She had to guess. Yeah. I love it. I felt like Megan would have had it, but then Vaughn was very strong with his serial number reading. Like, he was very quick up the mark. I was just making things up. Good for you repeating the same number, though.

That was smart. Yeah. That was really smart. Vicky still didn't believe me, though. No. Hey, Vicky, congratulations. You've won the Fitbit today with Bluff All Stuff. Congratulations.

Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM. Some stats released. Now, this is, there's different sorts of Netflix stats. And apparently they're pretty coy on giving them out. Yeah, well, they've recently just started doing, like, the top 10 shows and movies in New Zealand. And before that,

they don't like giving any stats because I guess it's commercially sensitive. However, if it is what is known as an acquired licensing product, like, for example, a show that was made for a TV network and then has gone onto Netflix, they can get the

people who own the license can ask for it. Right. So because The Office, the American version of The Office was on NBC before it's been on Netflix. And at the end of this year, it won't be on Netflix anymore because NBC's Peacock, their online streaming service. They're launching their own. Yeah.

Is going to take it back. It is the most watched acquired programming on Netflix since the period of people isolating. Right. In America, 189,000 viewers during the week. That's different viewers, different accounts. So you think about how many people are sharing accounts and it probably goes up a little bit.

Yeah. Just beating out Schitt's Creek, which I've never watched, but I've heard many great things about it. I've tried to watch that. Apparently season're hearing great things about it apparently season one is the worst season right and then it really finds itself in season two

because I've heard people say great things about it I think that's going to be on the list because I think we're going to need quite a few shows

to get through Good Girls which I've not heard of and Parks and Rec Good Girls is it's a couple of girls who are good girls but then they go and try and rob I have watched a couple of girls who are good girls, but then they go and try and rob.

I have watched a couple of episodes, but also I couldn't get into that either. Right, you couldn't buy into that. 81% on Rotten Tomatoes. Right. That's a pretty good rating. Parks and Recreation, as well as Better Call Saul and American Horror Story are also on there.

Right. Yeah, but apparently from their list of their original properties, The Trials of Gabriel Fernandez and Lovers Blind are the dominating. Oh, yeah, it's all massive. They're going crazy. The dominating shows. Has anyone seen Self Made?

It's on my list. Yeah, that's the number one movie or thing people are watching on Netflix New Zealand. Octavia Spencer. Yeah, looks really good. What else are people watching? I thought it was out today but it's 31st is Ozark Season 3. That is

fantastic. Season 2 was just unreal. If you like Breaking Bad kind of people were comparing it to that but by likes. Breaking Bad by a big like. Breaking Bad in a different part of America. Yeah. Kind of people were comparing it to that, but by likes. By likes. Breaking Bad by a big like. Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad in a different part of America.

Yeah, pretty much, yeah. So the top watched things on Netflix at the moment are Self Made, that movie. Spencer, Confidential, that's a movie with Mark Wahlberg. Lost Girls, Blended. Yeah. But no real TV shows. But you can go to the most watched TV shows, right? Oh, Blacklist is the eighth. It's number eight on the overall list.

Blacklist? Yeah, the TV show Blacklist. You never watched that? Is it still going? Still going, yeah, still going. Nah, my father-in-law went too hard on the cell. And if he goes hard on a cell, I'm probably

not going to like it. Just historically. He's like, no, zombie crocodiles versus mummied werewolves is a great movie. He was the one that was buying, he was the one that was enabling all those sharknadoes and freaky deaky

dumb ones. You have people in your life that if somebody recommends a movie, like say for example, you recommend me something Vaughan, I know that it'll be good. Megan on the other hand, 50-50. She's been on a good streak lately,

but historically you can't forgive her. You are full of, I always tell you about, this is the joke. This is why they're winding me up because I always tell you about something and then like two or three months later you're like, have you seen such and such? And we're like, no.

Okay, cannot remember you saying that. Santa Clarita Diet. How many months after did you watch that? That was great. Marcella. That's a great one on Netflix. That's a hidden gem. I told you about that, didn't I?

You did. What else? But yeah, Vaughan's right. You do have a history of some terrible choices in movies. I have a history of telling you great picks before you find them. But then you've also got those friends like your father-in-law, maybe Vaughan, that recommend something you're like, absolutely no way I'll be watching that if you've recommended it.

Yeah, no. Yeah. Have you watched this? Completely unrealistic military portrayal of India's involvement in the 1970s Bangladesh? I'm like, no, God. I'm not going to. ZM's Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. I was asked a question yesterday.

I was absolutely stumped. I didn't know the answer. That's not like you. Now, is your brother colourblind, Megan? Yeah. Because remember, he wanted to be an electrician, but... He didn't know the why. The why.

He got lots of electric shocks. It's not funny. Yeah. Cut the red one. Stop! That's green. You said, oh, no. Oh, no.

Yeah. So my friend was like, well, I want to buy my friend some flowers just because they've had a tough time lately with everything that's been going on. They've had a bit of a shit run. And then was like, I want to buy like a big bunch of flowers, but like they're colourblind. So like, what will they see? Yeah, but it depends on what kind of colourblind they are.

I know, but I was just like, well, that's a good question. I don't know the answer. Like, do they just see all grey or something? Like, I'm not trying to be insensitive or make a joke about it. I just didn't know what to say. Yeah, if you don't have someone in your life, you probably don't really know. Because what would your brother, because I know there's different kinds. Yeah, well, my father-in-law is colourblind as well. But my brother, he was 18 or something when we figured it out because we went on a plane and he got served a cup of tea and asked why his tea was orange.

Bright orange. But it's obviously not. Who asked that? Your father-in-law? My brother. And that's when we were like, I don't think that you are seeing the right thing in front of you. So his is reds and greens and brownie tones. He gets.

Right. They kind of all, I don't know if they get confused or they all look the same or... So you're this first ever cup of tea and he's having it on a plane? No. Or was it something about the way it was served with the background? Maybe the tray table or something set it off? Yeah. So say, for example, someone got him a red rose for Valentine's Day.

Would he be like, why have you got me a brown rose? Yeah, I don't know what he would see. A brown... Probably would be brownie. Yeah. I've got the different types of colorblindness here. You just said a Google. There's red, green colorblindness.

And within that type, there's four. Right. There's a common type called deuteromonol... No. It makes green look more red. Yeah. And it's quite mild apparently and it doesn't affect too much. Protonomally, which makes red

look like green and less bright. And the other two both make you unable to tell the difference between red and green at all. They look like the same colour. And then there's blue-yellow colour blindness. That's why you really have to know which traffic light's on the top there. And electricians, you know, that's the real issue.

The red-green wires. And then there's complete colour blindness. So the one you were talking about is monochromatic. You know the monochromatic? Yeah. It said it's monochromacy. Chromacy. Yeah, I guess so. Chromacy, monochromacy.

Would that be right? Monochromacy. Yeah, go with that. And that means everything's just a shade of grey and really, really rare. Right. Really rare. But there are people that have it. Lord.

But, I mean, you'd still appreciate, like, no matter what, if you're colourblind in any way, you'd still appreciate flowers. You'd still appreciate the smell of flowers. Yeah. And you'd still see them. Yeah. Yeah, the smell and the... Yeah.

But then you'd want to find out what type of colourblindness. Yeah. Because then you could get maybe the colour that they would see the most. Yeah. Because you wouldn't, or, and avoid the colours that turn, like, brown. You wouldn't get red roses with a long green stem. If you had that red and green. Yeah.

You'd be like, well, the stem and the flower's all one colour. Exactly. Yeah. That's okay. Well, I feel educated now. Yeah, good. So what would you pass on as a prize? I probably,

I would have just gone for chocolates to be honest. Yeah. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. If you enjoyed this podcast, why not give ZM's free and clean to listen to?
