Hello and welcome to the Fletch Warner Megan podcast, brought to you by Spark. Get a new phone from $99 on a Spark prepaid rollover pack. And now on the podcast. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch Warner Megan. Good morning. I'd imagine Alec Baldwin going to a one-day anger management class would just make him more angry that he had to waste a day going to an anger management class. But what are you going to learn in one day?

You can just behave yourself and be like, okay. He looks like he'd be grumpy. He's got a history of it. He's got a history of a bit of a temper, doesn't he? But he's my favourite Baldwin. But then, oh, easy, and then 30 Rock. Yeah, 30 Rock. Yeah. Yeah.

You can't win them all, but yeah, you definitely take them where you can. Yeah. So victory there. There was a Baldwin brother in Gossip Girl. He was quite cute. Which one was that? Daniel. A lesser known Baldwin.

But I was like, he's quite attractive. What are the other ones? There's Daniel. Alex, Stephen, Daniel. Billy. Billy. Billy Baldwin. Which one is Justin Bieber's wife's dad? Stephen.

Stephen Baldwin. Oh, yeah. Show me the Baldwin. Which one have you got there, Anya? You have to get a picture of him in Gossip Girl. Oh, baby. Just throw that, Mac. They love that.

Yeah. William. That's Billy Baldwin. That's Billy Baldwin. That's Billy Baldwin. Yeah, I just throw that, Mac. They love that. Yeah, William. That's Billy Baldwin. That's Billy Baldwin. Yeah, right. That's Billy Baldwin. Right there. And which one's her dad?

Stephen. Stephen Baldwin. Yeah. As Hayley's. I think he was the one in Biodome with Paulie Shaw. And on The Apprentice with Donald Trump. That's right. Yeah.

Is it Baldwin for every occasion? What's our New Zealand version of the Baldwins? Is it the Barretts? Yeah. You know all the brothers that play rugby? We've got lots of them. Famous brothers. And they all look pretty similar.

Yeah. Yeah, right. And there's heaps of them and high profile. Yeah. Yeah. And one's more successful than the others? You can say that. I don't know.

There's one. I guess Bowdoin's been around longer, hasn't he? Right, right. Yeah, he has. Okay. But I just can't think of any other family where everybody's involved in the industry. Well, while we're speaking rugby, Karen Reid, All Blacks captain, joins us on the phone just after eight o'clock this morning.

I would like to be referred to as all-black captain and moccaccino drinker. And moccaccino drinker. I love that he drinks a mocca. Taking away the stigma of a moccaccino. Loves it. So he is, for Friday anyway, hanging up the rugby boots to play cricket,

the Black Clash, where this is a T20 game in Christchurch, former black caps versus former all black. So it's rugby versus cricket. Are there any, but he's a current all black, right? Kieran Reid. Yeah. Well, I think it's just rugby cricket.

So I don't think there are any current cricket players. Most of the players are kind of retired or senior retired. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, that's fair enough then, because if you got the current ones, you'd imagine they'd be way better, but then they're busy getting thrashed by India. Getting absolutely thrashed by India.

So we'll talk to him just after 8 o'clock on the show this morning. Also, a big announcement after that. I mean, we'd normally say... Ford's looking around like, what is the announcement? No, no, I remember. We'd normally say, you know, listen at 8.10 for Karen Reid, but I would be listening at 8.15. Well, I'd be starting listening at 8.10 in the build-up phase.

I mean, I'd be listening from now till then. I wouldn't go anywhere. Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. And three news headlines for story time. Vaughan and Megan, pick one of the following three headlines.

Headline one. $1.7 million mansion. Long story. Headline two. Assault and battery with a chicken wing. And headline three. Pigeon cost couple parking ticket. The first one, $1.7 million mansion, long story.

Yeah. Dash, long story. It's the headline. People always get me when they say something, they're like, long story. I'm like, I'll make time. I know, like they expect you to be like, oh, well, don't tell me. No. Tell me.

Leave out all the spicy details too. Don't just give me the briefest of headlines What's number three? Pigeon costs people a parking ticket You always manage to decipher these Pigeon costs people a parking ticket Did it steal the parking ticket? No

A pigeon It pooped on something and that made their licence plate And so they wrote down the wrong licence plate Close Okay, that's all I needed to know Yeah Oh, so we don't want that story then Right. And so they wrote down the wrong license plate. Close. All right, that's all I needed to know. Yeah. Oh, so we don't want that story then. Oh, yeah, definitely one.

The house. Long story. Long story. $1.7 million. We go to Alberta, Canada now, where I'll show you a picture of this house. Oh, that's kind of cool. It's, we'll describe it as a mansion. It's quite big, three stories.

Three stories. It's lovely, like scenic views, apparently a lovely vista. It is worth $1.7 million, this mansion. Oh, that's not much. It's actually not much for what that is for New Zealand. Well, no, not really, no. Well, exactly. And that's US dollars, so two and a half mil New Zealand, this mansion.

Some change. Well, the owner, a woman in Alberta, Canada, has been trying to sell this house and hasn't received a serious offer. So she has decided to have, I guess, kind of a raffle or a competition to win this house. Okay. Now, for $25, you can have an entry to win this house,

but you've got to also pen an essay, hence the long story. Okay. So $25. So your entry is $25. That's the admin fees, but the best essay is going to win. Yes. What does the essay have to be about? Why you need a house?

Why you want a house? Just anything. So she's hoping to receive 68,000 entries that will stick to a 350-word maximum. 350 words? That's not very long, is it? I know. It's like a couple of paragraphs. Why did she pick 25?

Why not make it 30 or 50 bucks? I don't know. I'd still pay 50 bucks to enter. Then she said there's one catch. If she gets a matching offer offer the contest will be cancelled and the entry money will be returned. Right.

So an offer for a house will always truck. The two and a half million she thinks it's worth. Right. Or if she gets a better offer than what she's getting for the raffle.

Then she'll cancel it. Clever. Yeah. Because now everybody's talking about it. But then what would your essay be about? Be creative.

I don't know. That's the hardest thing when you weren't given a topic to write about or do a speech about. Not just do a speech about speeches. You just got lost,

didn't you? Wasted so much time choosing on what to do but if you were set a topic, it was much easier. But I've wondered if people could do that before. Everyone like chips in a little bit amount of money and you draw it out of a hat, it was much easier. But I've wondered if people could do that before.

Everyone chips in a little bit amount of money and you draw it out of a hat. There was in New Zealand. There was a family on the Waikato River by Lake Karapiru. Oh, yeah. They had a beautiful house. But yeah, they weren't getting the money for it. I think they just did this massive raffle.

And then if you don't get enough tickets, you just don't go through with it. You don't get refunded or something. Yeah, you could just say it needs to hit a minimum, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. That's a great idea. Want to do that with the house you're in? I quite like the house I'm in.

You might get more for it. Or less. True. And then there's who covers the legal fees. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm imagining she does. That would be the raffle winner. No, you'd have to be in the raffle. True And then there's Who covers the legal fees Oh yeah Yeah I don't know I'm imagining she does It'd be the raffle winner

No you don't have to be In the raffle It'd be in the fine print Top six coming up Yes What was it again You need to start Paying attention more

It's your segment Wow Khalid better On ZM It's your segment. F-A-M. Wow. Carly, better on ZM. Fletcher, more than Megan. 16 past six. So there's Venus. I don't know if you guys at home ever have discussions on if you were the opposite gender, what sort of state your situation would be in, but that's what I'm just covering off here.

People probably wonder, sometimes we come back and we're like losing our minds and people are like what were they laughing at? Nothing's worse than walking into a room and people are all laughing and then you're like what's happening?

And they're like oh don't worry about it. But most of the time it's inappropriate like that conversation. Yeah, yeah. So just don't. Yeah.

By the by and we all agreed it would be an absolute shambles. Like that would be that would be the feedback. That would be the feedback agreed it would be an absolute shambles. Like that would be the feedback. That would be the feedback. It would be like, Jesus, this is a shambles. Have you had your coffee yet? No.

Yeah, we can tell. So this is a study. It's bad leading on from what we've just spoken about too a little bit. Because there's a study on spicy food. Well, it's a study on palates in America. So people's tastes and how it affects them. So they have discovered that people who prefer spicy foods, they mentioned that they like hot, spicy food,

have more sex. They have more heat in the bedroom. There was a correlation. There was a correlation. There was a correlation. Okay. So those who listed their spice preference as hot have almost double the amount of sex than those who said they don't like any spice on their food.

So... Well, you love spicy food. Love it. You love your hot sauce. Is this where the population of India is 1.3 billion people? And rising? Maybe. Looking to catch China too.

People who like spicy food are 5.3 times per month. And then the others are 3.2 times per month. Okay. 5.3 per month. Is that not enough? That seems like That's the maximum Plenty That's the people who are doing a lot

That's plenty No? Okay Plenty That would be plenty I would be happy But then what if Like when we get food, I always get, and if it's not spicy, I put hot sauce on it.

I love spicy food, but Sade's very not. So we're out of whack. So that's why you're always keen. That's why I'm always like, how about it? And she's like, no. Because you're all full. You feel quite full. Well, I'm just speaking from my own personal experience. I would say after, if I do get a spicy butter chicken. Yeah, but you're all full, you feel quite full. Well, I'm just speaking from my own personal experience.

Say after, if I do get a spicy butter chicken. Yeah, but you're talking about demolishing it. Yeah, you're talking about eating the whole thing. And all the rice. They can't help you if you gorge yourself on hot food. Yeah, I want to do it after that because I'm all full. I'm pretty sure it's not like straight afterwards. Right.

You're not like, well, that was a garlicky naan. How about it right now? Like a little bit of hot sauce on a salad or something. Why do sweet chilli sauce? No, that's... Stop trying to... No, you don't really do hot. It's spicy.

Hot sauce on salad. I don't know what it is about this. I've been keen to hear from other hot sauce people. But when... Like, on meat, fine. But on salad, for some reason, like, maybe it's because it's, like, quite leafy and everything's quite glossy. It really burns your lips. Yeah, But on salad, for some reason, like maybe it's because it's like quite leafy and everything's

quite glossy. It really burns your lips. Yeah, because it gets on your lips. Yeah, I think it sits on top and it slides off as it goes in. It's far more lip burn-y. It's like when you shouldn't eat salad on a date because it actually ends up being quite messy and it slaps around your face. Yeah, yeah.

You should always eat something that's easier to eat so you don't make a mess of yourself. But that's why it gets all over your face. I could make a mess of myself eating anything on a day. Probably. There probably wouldn't be something I could eat without making a mess of myself. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top Six.

Yes, good morning. Today's Top Six is the Top Six phone calls it's acceptable to take during a caesarean section when you're the doctor? This is a New Zealand story. Yay! Well, that's got a very American feel to it. That a...

What's the difference between an anaesthesiologist and an... Anaesthetist. I don't know. Apart from both of them would be a nightmare to say if you had a lisp. Is an anaesthetist a doctor? Anaesthetist. An anaesthetist a doctor? Anaesthetist. An anaesthetist? I believe so.

Like a full doctor. I think so. Like, could you be like... And then they go further and further training, right? So do they have to do the whole med school? I wonder if it was the one, the one that came and gave Sade her epidural when Indy was born. He was hot.

Oh, really? Like, mother-in-law was there and she was born, he was hot. Oh, really? Mother-in-law was there and she was like, he's a bit all right. She's not British. I don't know why I did that. He's a bit all right. He's a bit all right. Anesthesiology is like the study of that

and you are an anesthetist. An anesthetist. So an anesthesiologist... Is still the same thing. And they're a full-on doctor. Yeah. An MD or a DO. But you go to med school for six years.

Correct. And then just inject people to sleep. Oh, if you said that to an anesthetist. But then they've got to monitor everything. They can't just be like, I know obviously it's important, but wouldn't you want to have a job, I don't know,

something more exciting? Because you'd just have like a job, I don't know, where you, I don't know, something more exciting? Because you'd just be like, all right, done. No, but you monitored the surgery. There's a lot to it. The machine's doing it, isn't it? Look, I think if it's seven years at med school and then further postgraduate study and there's more to it than, squeeze, peace.

See you. Countback quids. And you're out and I'm out. Well, anyway, the phone call that this anesthetist took was confirming a tennis appointment. Could there be a more doctor-y? Maybe if it was golf, it might have been slightly more doctor-y. But, I mean, still doing their job.

Just taking a phone call. Getting it done in there. We can all do our jobs and take a phone call. Yeah. Not. God, 30 years ago, they used to light up and have a ciggy. Who's supposed to be concentrating on the job? He's concentrating.

Like, when you take a phone call and you're driving. No, no. It's easy. Yeah. Piece of cake. No. So, yeah, he took the phone call. She's not happy about it.

Because she wasn't. I wouldn't be either. She wasn't happy about it. She was awake, wasn't she? Well, yeah, they localise it. They just do you took the phone call. She's not happy about it. I wouldn't be either. She was awake, wasn't she? Well, yeah, they localise it. They just do you from the chest down. Epidural? Yeah, right.

No, more than an epidural. Yeah, I think it's the same sort of epidural. But lucky he's been to men's school for six years. Yes, he has to put that in her spine. Like, I think you need to study for that. So are the top six phone calls it's acceptable to take during a C-section when you're a doctor? Well, okay. Number six. When someone you've been paying phone tag with calls back So are the top six phone calls It's acceptable to take During a C-section When you're a doctor Well okay

Number six When someone you've been Paying phone tag with Calls back And you actually see them Calling this time Oh yeah You're like

I've just got to take this I've been trying to get a hold Of this person for a long time Okay Number five on the list Of the top six phone calls It's acceptable to take During a C-section

When you're the doctor Is from the courier Who has your package And wants to know If they can just leave it there Even if it it doesn't have a signature, or you'll have to go to the warehouse and pick it up. Oh, okay. Because I hate those card decals.

Yeah, card decals are no good. Just hide it somewhere and let me know where you hid it. Take a photo, send it to my number. Anyway, I've got to go, mate. I'm at work. I'm epiduralising somebody. Yeah, I know. Yeah, the guy on the radio said you just squirt it in and then leave.

But no, there's more to it. There's a bit more to it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I know. Yeah, the guy on the radio said you just squirt it in and then leave. But no, there's more to it. There's a bit more to it. Yeah. Yeah. You're dead right, actually. Probably one of the most crucial parts of surgery. Yeah, if I don't do my job right, they might appear asleep but be feeling everything. Horrendous.

Yes, it would be. It'd be awful. I can feel my legs now. Is that good? Hold on, Korea, mate. What's that like? I can feel my legs. I'll just squirt a bit more in.

I'm back anyway. The guy on the radio might have been right, mate. I just squirted a bit more in. Number four on the list of the top six phone calls you could take during a C-section if you're the doctor is your Uber letting you know it's outside. And you're like, you need to tell them just to wait a bit, you won't be too long because after all, all that you're really doing is squirting and then leaving. Okay.

Number three on the list of the top six phone calls it's acceptable to take during a C-section when you're the doctor. When it's your mum and you've been wanting to talk to her for a while you're told to call you back because you're going to ask her for some money. Yeah. Even though you're the doctor. you back because you're going to ask her for some money. Yeah. Even though you're the... Doctor.

Anesthesiologist. Anesthesiologist. Anesthetist. Anesthetist. I mean, the hardest part, they probably just let you be one if you can say it. Yeah, they probably do, yeah. You just learn to spell it.

All right, you've learned to squirt it in and then you leave. But before we can give you your official qualifications, how do you say your job title? Anesthetist. You qualify. Number two on the list of the phone calls to take that you would be acceptable to take during a C-section is when it's the mystery number that's been calling you

and you haven't answered it heaps of times and you've Googled it extensively and you've got no results and it's driving you crazy every waking moment of the day as to who it could possibly be. So you're finally excited to be an adult and answer a phone call. Yeah. And you better do it while you're being an anesthesiologist or in the...

And the number one phone call it's acceptable to take during a C-section when you're a doctor. When it's a radio station that's making a major prize draw and they told you to have your phone on at a certain time of day. Yeah. So you're like, I've just got to take this. It's a radio station that's making a major prize draw and they told you to have your phone on at a certain time of day. Yeah. So you're like, I've just got to take this. It's a weekend away to Westport.

Terrible prize. Glamorous prize. Don't even answer the phone. That is today's top six. Fletch. Vaughan. And Megan. The podcast.

Sam. Previously. Ava Max on ZM. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Sam. Previously. Ava Max on ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. It's 18 minutes away from 7. A little bit sloppy on the buttons there. We're talking ice cream. I got distracted and the debate was starting to pick up some heat. So it's probably quite good you guys came along actually.

We're talking about chocolate ice cream. So yesterday I caught up with my friend James. He's been overseas, I've been overseas. Haven't seen each other for a while. So we're like caught up with my friend James. He's been overseas. I've been overseas. Haven't seen each other for a while. So we're like, we'll go out for coffee. And that quickly became,

it's too hot for coffee. Let's have ice cream. You know they do iced coffee. They do cold coffee. That sounded like a slack excuse from the get-go that coffee was the cover for ice cream. I was like two or three.

Oh, that's acceptable. You'll fill yourself up before you're about to eat your dinner. So we decided we would go to Ben and Jerry's, the Mission Bay one in Auckland. So went in there. We must have only just missed you. We were out there yesterday. We didn't go to Ben and Jerry's though.

Right, okay. So in store, I'm like, I'll get these. It's very hard. I don't know. It's like when you go to any gelato place. There's a lot of flavours. It's very overwhelming. Don't say Ben and Jerry's is gelato because it's not.

You know I'm anti-gelato. I know you are. I'm pro ice cream, anti-gelato. I'm saying any ice cream store or gelato store with many flavours, you know, like 20, 30 flavours. It's very overwhelming. Yeah. Because I don't want to miss out on a good flavour. And you feel bad, like you can taste one, maybe two, but as soon as you start

like tasting three or four, you're taking the piss. Yeah, taking the piss. So I decided on my flavours. I was very happy with my flavours. What flavours? I went, well, there was, that's something that's so multiple. See, Ben and Jerry's, I always have to go for the plainest sounding flavour because they're, like, this is what we're talking about, the chocolate. It's too much. Oh, it's very rich. I went for there was that's something that's so multiple I always have to go for the plainest sounding flavour because they're

like this is what we're talking about the chocolate it's too much oh it's very rich I went for like a salted caramel-y one yep hot plate

yeah and then a maple walnut that's also a really good it was almost like a s'mores-y kind of flavour like a chocolate marshmallow-y kind of deal with gilliness

did you try my hack what's your oh no no oh that didn't work someone sent us a photo the weekend and the two single scoops were tiny,

but the original double scoop was massive. No, because if you... It doesn't work there because if you ask for a single scoop, they give you the single scoop container. Right. So then they wouldn't just lob another one on. What, you're not getting a cone?

No, I don't get a cone. You're worried about the five calories and the ice cream cone compared to the two scoops of the... No, it gets dribbly. Anyway, that's not... Mucking around with it, it gets dribbly anyway that's not around it gets dribbly anyway i i get mine uh my friend james gets his they're on the counter i pay for them because i'm i'm a great friend um you've never bought me ice cream well we should hang out in the afternoon okay um and anyways i pay um grab mine. He goes to grab his and fumbles it.

I know. It falls, hits the cabinet, and lands face down on the floor, literally 30 seconds after I've just paid for this. Heartbroken. What did Ben do? Ben of Ben and Jerry's. The lady behind the counter. So that's obviously Jerry.

That's Jerry, yeah sure or ben i'm not here to judge yeah kind of looks and i'm like i'm not paying for another one in my head i'm like i'm not paying for another one i'm just saying i'm not buying you another one i didn't i didn't i waited i don't think you treat your friends like that they're your kids because you don't have kids you treat your friends like well that was stupid was stupid. This is your fault. And then so I'm kind of like. Now what? I'm silent because I'm like, if I don't want to say I'll get you another one.

No, you just. Or your part or say it. And also if he doesn't get another one, then you're like eating ice cream by yourself. But then he'll just grab a spoon and want to share yours. Yeah, true. There's a downside. And then so she, Jerry. Jerry. Or whoever, Ben.

Oh, Ben and Jerry. Ben or Jerry's. Ben or Jerry's says, do you want me to get you another one? And my friend's like, yeah, yeah, we're sorry about that. Wait, she never stipulated whether or not it was going to be free. I know. So she does it again, puts it up there, and there's this little awkward moment like, are we paying for this? But she, no, we got it for free. Oh, that's nice.

Even though it wasn't her, it wasn't Jerry or Ben's fault. I always think if you drop it in the shop, like they don't have to give you another one. But they should. But if you walked out and walked 20 metres down the road and dropped it and then came back and said, I just dropped my ice cream down the street. If it's in their store, they should. Yeah.

Why though? You fumbled it. If you've left their jurisdiction. Yeah, I don't know. They would be under no obligation. And Chinanya's wanting to raise a point. Yeah, I used to work at a pizza shop and when I was applying to get the job, one of the interview questions was if a busy mum of four comes in, she's got kids running around,

looks really stressed out, picks up her pizzas and then drops them as she's leaving the store, what do you do? And I said... Too bad. Yeah, well, I said I'd remake them

because, you know, I like customer service. And then I got the job. So it must have been the answer they were looking for. What a loaded question. Because if you're filling that job form out, you're like, this could go one of two ways, couldn't it? It's like the company could be not wanting to waste money

and they don't want to hire some soft, you know. My question would have been, did the box open? I don't think that was stipulated. The five second rule. Yeah, exactly. Because if it fell, did the box open? I don't think that was stipulated. The five-second rule. Yeah, exactly. Because if it fell but the box didn't open and the pizza remained in the box. I feel like the answer was in the question because if they'd said, like, some student, like, comes in and is, like, listening on his headphones

and being a douchebag and then drops his pizza, what do you do? I feel like that would have been a no. Yeah, right. So you're saying you answered the thing. You had the right answer on you. Yeah, it was emotional. What did you do i feel like that would have been a no yeah right so you're saying you aren't saying that you you had the right answer on you yeah what did you do with the drop pizzas eat them stuff no but then you're just like this one got dropped yeah i know that's setting a dangerous yeah yeah but i i thought could we take some calls this morning domino's is that where you were working yeah you're a bit of a Domino's girl. What does that mean? Is that affordable?

I would argue that Domino's is the premium pizza choice of a cheap pizza. Affordable? Popular? But no, but Vaughn's just saying that she's not working at like a gourmet wood-fired pizza out there. No, no, no. You're not a wood-fired oven. Am I a Sal's?

Oh, Christ no. Jesus, woman. You're not a New York pizza. But the Sal's people are always so shakka and cool. I know. You're not shakka and cool. You're not a New York pizza. But the sales people are always so shocker and cool. I know. You're not shocker and cool. You're a frozen Pam's. You take that back.

You take that back. You're not a frozen Pam's. You're a frozen Pam's in a box, so I can't actually judge how much topping you've got on it. I get you home. I'm very disappointed when I take you out. I am a leaning tower. Least. With a burnt I am a leaning tower at least.

With a burnt base. A leaning tower. Yeah. I will give you that. You're a leaning tower. You are a leaning tower. Four for $3. Are we out of pot made pizza brands?

You're nearly expired stock. Leaning tower. No, but you're the one with mushrooms and fancy toppings. Thank you so much, Megan. Not just Hawaiian. You're supreme, Leaning Tower. Which doesn't mean much because you're Leaning Tower. You're so mean.

You're a Pam's pizza. It means we love you. It means we love you when we roast you. Like a Pam's pizza. Yeah. Which you don't want to leave in for too long. Otherwise, it'll just shriveled in our face. So I thought, can we take some calls this morning

of those times when you dropped your food before you got to eat it? Because we've all seen someone in a food court do this. Oh, food courts are the best because of the noise and everyone goes silent and then you can just hear the swoosh of heads looking for who dropped their stuff. And it's those big plastic trays, they give you a real slidey.

They slidey round. Yeah, and especially get it like, say you get a big, if you get a combo, you might get a big Coke in a bottle and that's like slipping on the tray. You need a rubber placemat. You lie that down. Come on, mate. That's Food Court 101.

You lie that straight down. But it still rolls on the... It still rolls. You lie it and then you hold it in the corner and you rock a thumb over it. Why can't we have rubber placemats on those? It's all I'm saying. Megan raises a great point. 0800 dials at M9696.

Chloe bloody Swarbrick would shit a kitten if every food court had a rubber mat on every plastic tray. You might as well go out and use it to bludgeon a dolphin to death. Well, you know, the Greens want us to have, like, little flex kitties at food courts. I'm down for that. Yeah, I mean, it'd be hard to eat your $10 curry out of a kittie

because it'd be leaking all over your hands. Okay. It's important we plan for the future. When did you drop your food? You'd almost have to use the naan to soak it up. You're getting back and you're like, I should never have voted for the Greens. Zed Amps, Flet never have voted for the Greens.

Talking about those times you've dropped food before you got to eat it. We talked about when it happens in a food court and everybody looks. Somebody said that happened to me. I was so embarrassed but the lady from the

Indian food place that I had dropped it from came running out and like helped me and I was so thankful and she said, come and get another one and I said,

I'll never let this happen again. And it happened straight away. It's a slippy trace. It's a slippy trace. Slippy trace. My husband dropped his spaghetti bolognese on his laptop

so not only did he lose his dinner but he also destroyed his laptop as we make a very saucy spaghetti. You don't want to dry spaghetti. It needs to be saucy.

Yeah, it does. I walked out of Subway with my sub in a plastic bag and I swung it as I walked to my car. The handle snapped. The Subway unwrapped itself mid-flight. In my mind, because you know how they cut the sandwich in half, it tried to flap. Mid-flight, then landed sourced down on the sidewalk.

Lettuce, tomato everywhere. It was an absolute massacre. Right in front of the subway windows. Yeah, I wouldn't go back. I'd just carry on. They said they stared at it for a few seconds, scraped it up off the floor and jumped in the car and took off. No word if they ate it or not,

or just cleaned up their mess to take it with them. I've got the top five health trends for 2019. These are things that you're going to have to look out for or take part in this year. The first one is going to be your favourite. The vegan jealous. The vegan jealous. Like an evangelicalist.

Yeah. Vegan jealous. Yeah, but it's not spelled like that. Vegan jealous. Right, so it's being evangelical but also a vegan. So this is increasing numbers of people are going to be taking up veganism. Do you know a third of Britons have stopped or reduced eating meat? Even then they get drunk.

That's true, and then want a burger. But I feel like that is definitely happening. There's definitely a movement and a swing towards that. And everyone's talking about the benefits of being vegan and reducing meat. That's definitely happening. It's just Warren can't get on the bandwagon. Because he'd love a bit of meat. I'm quite a fan. But then, like,

all these extra plants that are going to be needed, where do they come from? Gardens. Yeah, but people are going to be mass producing them and how do they stop weevils and stuff? Sprays. And then what wants to eat plants?

Little animals. So what happens to the little animals? They get murdered. So would you rather murder one and eat it or just have one like senselessly killed? Okay, look, you can argue with the vegans later, Vaughn. I don't want to argue with them, but if you come at me, I'm not going to go quietly.

There is new furniture that will make you fit. The one that they have spoken particularly about is the mirror that will have a built-in video screen with an instructor. So they'll take you through yoga, Pilates, cardio, boxing, stretching and strength classes. And you'd have it at your house. Yeah. So it does just look like a mirror,

but then I guess you can play things on it. And also... It's a TV with full-time glare. Basically, you know, when your window's open, you're getting glare off the TV and you're like, oh, I have to shut that curtain. This thing's full-time reflection. And there is technology that's in place.

Silicon Valley's working now to make mirrors that will look at you and recognise what's going on in your body. So if you've just had a big night out, it can be like you're dehydrated. You don't need a mirror telling you that on Sunday morning that you look like a pig. You need to go easy on the alcohol. Where did it all go wrong? But down to like they might notice a few extra lines on your face

and tell you to get some retinol for your skin. That's what mother-in-laws are for, isn't it? Yeah. But also then you just resent it and not want to look in the mirror. You're like, no, I'm not going to. I'm unplugging your mirror.

Yeah. Hit the pillow, not the gym. This is my favourite. As a health trend. As a health trend. Okay. So there's a decline

in people getting good night's rest and it is bad for you, obviously. It can affect your weight. It can affect how you function. So getting a good night's rest and it is bad for you obviously it can affect your weight it can affect how you function so the getting a good night's sleep is a major talking point and a big health trend for 2019 uh the fourth trend health trend for 2019 his classes h i i s so we know high intensity interval training

No, that's HIIT That's HIIT You said HIS didn't you? HIS It is high intensity interval skipping Oh, okay So there's lots of models that are saying this is amazing Skipping is really hard

It's good cardio though I do 5 minutes and then your body just like When you get tired It's just like You just stand on the skipping rope All the time You self-sabotage Yeah

Don't do it to bare feet So how long Are they saying to skip for? Well as long as you can I guess Probably get an app Anyway Yeah but it says You can burn 1200 calories

A session But it didn't say How long the session is Hmm okay So we're doing that For half an hour Yeah Not likely

And last of all, plastic workout gear is a massive trend in 2019. So eco active wear. Yeah. That's been made from recycled plastic, hemp, anything. That's not going to breathe.

We'll be like wearing a Coke bottle to the gym. Sweet with holes in it. It's feeling comfortable. It's gym. It's very uncomfortable. It's rubbing. It's cut me in places. I'm full of sweat. But yeah, look out for it. You might be wearing recycled plastic to the gym.

It came to our attention. I mean, we've kind of known this, but never really thought too much about it until the other day. Megan mentioned it's 2019 now and she still hasn't ridden a bus as part of public transport. Yeah, clarification, like I've taken party buses.

Public transport's just one big party bus, baby. Where you just get on and have some drink. You must have been on like a school camp on a bus ride or something. Oh, yeah. School trip. But never have you taken a scheduled public transport bus from point A to point B. No.

Never done it. In all of her 43 years on earth, she's never done it. 43? No. So we thought tomorrow will be the day. Tomorrow, January 25th, 11 months till Christmas, will be the day. You'll have a day to prepare for this.

Because I can understand when you lived in Nelson, you grew up in Nelson, there's one bus, isn't there, that goes from the city to Richmond, maybe. Yeah, and my parents just dropped me everywhere. And then when I was 15, I had a car. You didn't need the bus. But you've also then lived in Christchurch and Auckland, two large cities, both with a lot of buses. Mm-hmm.

And what? I had a car. You had a car, right. But you never went to, like, a party and you were like, well, it's just cheaper if I just get the bus to... No. Don't screw up your face. But why...

Okay, so my main problem with that is, is, like, you, oh, I'm going to sound like such a dick. My main problem with this is. No, okay, so if you're going to a party, you're like dressed up and like, you're like, that's weird. You get on the bus and you're going to be like, okay, mate, like. What do you mean? People go on the bus all the time. I don't think anybody goes on a bus. Like, if you're going out drinking and then you're all like you mean? People go on the bus all the time? I don't think anybody goes on a bus. If you're going out drinking

and then you're all dressed up, people go on the bus. People are going to be like, calm down, Cinderella. Yeah. Like that. They're not going to judge you. No one cares.

Because they're all coming home from working like a suit. Or something. Okay. People wear suits. What were you going to say? People wear suits on the bus. Oh my God, Megan.

I just feel like you get judged if you're too dressed up on the bus. Nah. I mean, they have the night buses. They just don't want to look at you. They just want to push the button when it's time for them to hop off. And they have night buses that go back. It's not like I'm totally against it because there's one that's, like, there's two buses that drive past my house.

And, like, they must go somewhere. I'm always like maybe I should like. What does the sign on the front of them say? There's a name on the front and a number beside it. So that is where it's going? Yes. Okay. I just thought that was like the name of the route or something. The name of the bus.

Well the number's the route, yeah. That bus is called Auckland Central. Weird name but cute I guess. So I've always wanted to but I'm just, I actually, like, can't do it. Because I don't know where it's going to take me. And if you want to go somewhere, how do you, like, figure that out? There's apps and stuff. No, but you have to get off one sometimes and get on another one.

Yeah, it'll tell you when to hop off. Who does? Apps. Google Maps is amazing. It's on you, though. So when you want to... Oh, I'm such an arsehole. When you want to get off, you tell the dude.

Or do you have to stop at every stop? Only when you press the button. Only when there's someone waiting to get on at that stop or someone pushes the button. If there's no one there and no one's pushing it, they'll drive past. The other problem I have is that, like, your bus might stop, like, way down the road from where you're going.

Well, yeah, you might have to get off at the closest possible distance. Can you stop it and get off? Google Maps shows you where the bus stops are, so you work out which one's closest. So you can't stop earlier? No. Or you can't stop. Or ask them to make an unscheduled stop.

Him or her to make an unscheduled stop. Before, like, the stop. No. Or you can't stop. Or you can't make an unscheduled stop. Him or her to make an unscheduled stop. Before, like the stop. No. You would. No, but they might drive right past you when you're going. I reckon if you're really hot, you could get away with it. And if you're the only one on the bus. Maybe.

And it was like, duh. Bus drivers aren't monsters. They want you to be safe. If you're like, please stop. They have to stop at like the next thing. They won't though. Most of the time they won't. Well, they've got a schedule. Otherwise, it'd, the next thing. Oh, they won't, though. Most of the time, they won't. Well, they've got a schedule.

Otherwise, it'd be stopping for everyone. It's not an Uber, Megan. Also, I don't know how to pay for it. You give them money or you get a card. No, you can't just give them money, Caitlin. Oh, they don't like it when you give them money because I always used to give them a big... Why don't they have F-boss?

A big note and they were like... Yeah. They'd be like... Because they've got to make change for it. Caitlin, are you in the same bus as this, aren't you? It's the same boat. I used to have to bus in Wellington because I didn't have a car, but I wouldn't

do it up here. So you're a transport snob as well, public transport snob. Does it tell you how long it's going to take? Yep. Does it? Yep. Google Maps is amazing, aren't it? Yep. The app. Google Maps is amazing, aren't you?

Google Maps is great. Nah, I've caught heaps of buses in my time. Yeah, so you're down to earth. Hey, you're right, smug. Yeah, that's right. Legend over here. Not afraid to tap on and tap off. James, you're not scared of public transport, James?

No, I've taken a lot of public transport, for sure. Buses, trains. Ferries? Have you taken a ferry? No, only to Waiheke. I've taken a ferry of public transport, for sure. Buses. Yeah. Trains. Ferries. Have you taken a ferry? No, I've only been to Waiheke. I've taken a ferry to Waiheke. Well, there you go. For Venus.

Yeah, right. Is it over public transport? No. Okay. It's private. Well, tomorrow. I'm down to earth too, just by the way. But I just don't know how to do it.

Why don't you just call yourself down to earth? Because he said you're down to earth too, just by the way. But I just don't know how to do it. Why don't you just call yourself down to earth? Because he said you're down to earth to like James in there. And I was like, I'm down to earth. I thought you were just making a statement. Guys, I'm down to earth. I am. Well, tomorrow you can experience it because we're going to make you do it. Can someone come with me?

Can someone come with me? Please. No. Maybe like a camera person, but they're not helping you. It's like the Amazing Race. I'm actually scared of the driver. You would be terrible on the Amazing Race. I know.

I know that about myself. We're like, where's my limousine? But bus thing totally aside, she'd just be terrible on the Amazing Race. We're like, run. I'd be like, no way. I'm going to sleep on the side of the road tonight. Not happening. Netsafe New Zealand have released some statistics.

When I heard these, I originally heard it in a news broadcast on the way to work. And I was like, they've got the comma in the wrong place. Like, that can't be the number. That cannot be the number. I've read it. It's been printed. And it blows my mind. Yeah.

And so I'm thinking, I personally, my close circle of friends, I don't know anybody this has happened to or certainly they've never come forward and said, guys, I'm in a bit of trouble. This has happened to me.

And I'd imagine it would be quite a hard thing for my group of friends like dudes in their 30s. Yeah. If this had happened, it would be a hell of a thing for them to admit to me.

These numbers alone, there'll be people listening that have had this done to them. Okay. This would be a hell of a thing for them to admit to me. These numbers alone, there'll be people listening that have had this done to them. Okay. This would be quite something to talk about and I completely understand if nobody does call. Yeah. If you have experienced this. What, being on the end of revenge porn?

Being on the end of revenge porn. This is what NetSafe have released these statistics about. So you can call us and let us know how it went for you if you went through the whole process of it because the people who do it now I'll tell you about the laws in a minute

of what people can face if they are using revenge porn to extort people or embarrass people or for whatever reason they're doing it around 151,000

New Zealanders have been impacted by image based sexual abuse but how do they know these figures? Is it like a guesstimate? They've worked it out on the percentage reported

or the percentage that have been lodged with them and the ones that haven't been. Yeah, right. So this is where you could be going out with someone, you make a video together, or you send each other videos. It doesn't even have to be that. Or you send pics. And then you break up.

They're like, well, I'm going to send these to everyone. Some of them are just people who are good with Photoshop. Photoshopping people's heads on other naked bodies and spreading the photo around. Oh, wow. And people don't look close. I know. Shocking, right? I just could not believe that it numbered into the

hundreds of thousands, well, 150,000 New Zealanders affected by this. And whilst people under 30 were most likely to be affected, of the reported cases, up to and including people 70 years old. Oh, my God. So this could be anything. This could be sleeping with something, like on the blackmail side of things, sleeping with something you shouldn't have slept with.

And then it becomes a blackmail issue where they've got video or photos of you engaged in acts that you shouldn't be engaged in. This is, as you said, Fletch, you film it with someone both consensually and then somebody's got a copy of it. There's a breakup or there doesn't even need to be a breakup. You might not have even been seeing this person

and they spread it around for whatever purpose they're doing it. But there are laws now, right, that are coming down harsh on. Yes, correct. There are. Now, when asked, 35% of New Zealanders had no idea or were very unfamiliar with the laws around this sort of thing. But it's the Harmful Digital Communications Act. And penalties for this, fine up to $50,000 or two years in jail for an individual

or up to $200,000 for a body corporate. Right. So if it's on a larger scale. Okay. Yeah. So. Wow. Mind-blowing, right?

Yeah. Do you know anybody that this has happened to? Do you know anybody that's ever been like, had not really. Not that they've ever spoken to me about. Yeah, yeah. I don't think someone would come forward and be like, oh, this happened. Yeah. Yeah.

So females that reported themselves being the victims of this, that were brave enough to come forward and try to do something about it. Like to the police. Yeah. Okay. So mostly it was photo-seeking during a relationship. That relationship had ended and it was a blackmail situation of trying to, I mean, if a relationship's over,

you're certainly not going to win them back by threatening them. And if you do, it's not going to be a healthy relationship. And often it was connected to wider spread cases of domestic abuse. But you always talk about having your secret folder, Megan,

on your phone, which is like disguised as a calculator and needs a pin code to get in. So you've got photos of Mr. Toyboy and he's got photos of you. Yeah. And that's all fine and dandy now. I know.

That's the thing. I don't think either of you... No, but you're not vindictive, are you? No. But like you, and a lot of those were seen early on in the relationship as well. So like you, you often go into it trusting the person you're with. Like we weren't married and you're sending them like early on in a relationship and you think it's all fine because it's all fun and games.

But he, I mean, he's not that type of person, but could have easily done something with them. But you trust them at the time. Like I can see how people do it. We've done it. And you go into it so innocently. But, man, there's no shame in coming forward and being like, hey, so I've sent a picture because, like, you're adults

and you're consenting and you're in a relationship. But, man, if people, that's only the amount of people that have come forward. Exactly, yeah. You think how many people would have been in that situation and were too embarrassed to say anything. So men are reported the reasons mostly as abuse or started out as a joke, say, using inverted speech marks,

that had turned into abuse or extortion. There was a reported case of a guy in a sports team and afterwards having a shower, someone took a photo and sent it around. And he's like, what are you doing, mate? That's not appropriate or cool. That's not even a consensual photo. No, no, totally. Totally.

So when I heard the number, I just could not believe it. Remember the golden rule. Never the face and the genies in the same pic. One of your faces looks real cute though. Send them just a photo of your face. True. Yeah. We've actually had an anonymous caller call through.

Good morning. Hi. Now this has happened to you. Yeah, I was 14 at the time. It was my first year of college. Oh my God. And was this someone you were seeing? No, it was actually a girl who didn't want to come out that she was gay.

Right. And we were really close friends, and obviously I knew about it. And it got out another way, and she thought it was me, and it wasn't me. So she put my face on a poster and pretty much sent it around the school. Wait, so she kind of photoshopped your face onto a naked body? Yep, she did. Wait, so she kind of photoshopped your face onto a naked body? Yep, she did. Oh, wow. And put it around the college.

And yeah, I left that college after not returning for three months because I was pretty much destroyed at the age of 14. Did you make a complaint to the police and everything? Yep, police were involved and the teachers were all informed. The dean was informed. My mum and I were sitting with the dean and she didn't even care. She didn't worry about it.

She was like, oh, it's just girls being girls. And my mum and my big sister were absolutely just going crazy at the dean. It was like, how can you not do anything about it? Yeah, it was a really traumatic time in my life. People don't really think about that, how it's going to affect the other person. Yeah, and I can imagine what it would have been like at school,

especially at that age. Oh, yeah, that's a weird time, isn't it? And in all girls' school. Yeah. And how did it affect you? Pretty bad. Like, it took me, I didn't have my first relationship Yeah. And how did it affect you? Pretty bad. Like, it took me, I didn't have my first relationship until I was 16.

I didn't talk to anyone or anything like that. And even then, it was really hard. Like, I was with that person for a year before I even showed even topless to rewards him. So, yeah, it definitely took away my confidence. Exactly. That's the effect it had on you. And it wasn't even your naked Yeah. It definitely took away my confidence. Exactly. That's the effect it had on you

and it wasn't even your naked body. It was a fake. Imagine if it was. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. It's really impactful

to hear it from somebody who's been through it. Thank you, anonymous caller. Jessica, good morning. This has happened to you or your sister? This has happened to my sister. Hi, guys.

Hi. So, what was the situation? So it was her boss. So she was in a relationship with him. Okay. And it ended kind of on bad terms, and then he just showed it around to everyone and all of her colleagues. So was it a photo that she'd sent to him while they were in a relationship?

Yeah, it was her face and everything. And so what was the end result? She didn't tell anyone about it because it was her boss, so she didn't feel that she could, you know, if she reported it, she felt like she'd lose her job, which is kind of a bit disappointing. But in the meantime, everyone around, like, work had said this. Yeah, everyone was just making jokes, and it was pretty horrible for her. There's a whole lot going on there.

I mean, that's an abuse of power, yeah, as well as an abuse of a person at a human level. So was anyone ever charged? Did it go to the police? No, nothing. She just kept her mouth shut because she didn't want to lose her job, and she's quite a sweet person, so she wouldn't, you know, pipe up and... And say anything, yeah.

...tell the big, huge CEO about it. That's the sad thing about those stats, is that while it's a huge amount of people, there's also the huge amount of people that haven't reported it. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my gosh. All right, Jessica, thanks for your call. Some text messages, and this happened to me with a video.

I wasn't aware that I was even being recorded. And at the time, I didn't know that I could get this guy charged for it. It just went all over Snapchat and social media and kind of destroyed me along the way. Jeez. Oh, my God. Yeah. So, I mean, the thing of doing this because you're like,

this will teach them, you could go to jail. And then I tell you what, you'll be taught. There'll be some teachings going on there. The biggest movies in New Zealand of 2018, so the favourites that we watched last year, have been revealed. Top ten. It was a boomer of a year last year for the movies.

A second biggest year since movies. Since movies. The game. Right, okay. I don't know what year would have been bigger. The article? Titanic year? Avatar year? Maybe.

I'm just trying to think of like a Lord of the Rings year? Maybe. I don't know. So the top 10. Fantastic Beasts. The Crimes of Grindelwald is in at 10th place. I still haven't seen that. No neither. Number 9.elwald is in at 10th place. I still haven't seen that. No, neither. Number nine, Peter Rabbit is in at 9th place.

Great movie. 4.5 million. Deadpool 2, 8th place. Great. That's not bad for an R because that was R rated. Jurassic World, Fallen Kingdom is 7th. I think that was a pile of plop. What?

It was terrible. I heard it was rubbish. No, I got 20 minutes in. You know, I like Chris Pratt when he's acting and not being himself. And dinosaurs,

big fan, always have been. Big fan of dinosaurs. And I got into it. I was like, oh, I don't like this. So sixth equal, Bohemian Rhapsody

and A Star is Born. They are 6.2 and, oh no, they're not equal. So Bohemian Rhapsody got more than A Star is Born. So A Star is not equal. So Bohemian Rhapsody got more than A Star Is Born. So A Star Is Born sixth place, Bohemian Rhapsody fifth. Five, okay.

Yeah. Number four, Here We Go Again, Mamma Mia. I didn't like that. I'm alone in that. I didn't think it was great, but that's fine. The Incredibles 2, 7.7 million. That comes in at second place. My reason for that is the original came out in 2004.

So people that were kids then or younger then, it was so long ago now, they might have their own kids to take. So they're going to see it as well. You might notice second place, third place, under it, Black Panther. The Incredibles 2 beat Black Panther

and the biggest movie at the box office in New Zealand last year Avengers Infinity War $10.36 million in New Zealand wow

that's insane that's a lot of money just for New Zealand yeah I know also just the highest grossing New Zealand film was the Breaker Opera $1.8 million

that's good that's pretty good for a New Zealand made film in New Zealand. Yeah. I'm always getting targeted advertising and most of it I fully deserve. Okay. Or have like asked for. And they know they're going to get me. Yeah.

Like that time I bought two Deadpool masks. Yeah. Didn't need one. And there's always a debate. Is Facebook listening? Yeah. They say they're not. But's always a debate. Is Facebook listening? Yeah. They say they're not, but we know they are. They're listening. Don't say it too loud. So what have you been advertised?

So, most of the stuff I'm advertised is like stuff I can work with. Right. But this one, very confusing. From multiple brands, I've been advertised mattresses and boxes. Like an air mattress? No.

I've seen these every now and again and they're real like, are they squished in the box? They're rolled up and squished in a box. And then you get them to their house and you put them where you want them and then you pull the thing out and they go and pull air into them. They're a foam. There's no springs

in them because obviously that wouldn't roll. But like multiple brands. Didn't you get one of these, Producer James, a mattress in a box? I got one of these to keep costs down when I moved up from Christchurch

and to be able to fit into a car. I got a mattress in a box off Trade Me. And what was it like? It was rubbish. It was what you'd expect. Yeah. A mattress that could fit in a box. I mean, it actually flattened out.

It was all right. But, I mean, maybe close to a fancy gym mat. I don't know. Right. So quite thin. Quite thin. Oh, okay. Because I looked at the ones that are Target advertising.

I think the koala ones, they look very fancy. That's a bit thicker. This one was a little bit different. This was just a straight mattress in a box. Ekuza. No. Ekoza. But why are you getting this advertising?

I don't know. You don't need a mattress. I don't even know. I haven't even talked about a mattress. Oh. Before Christmas, I did. What did you say? Because we got the girls bunks

Right When we moved house And the bottom was a double mattress Right Oh my god That's creepy But you only talked about it I never googled it

Because if I've ever got any mattress requirements I flick a text message to my lovely friend Lily From Big Sur Furniture And she says how can I help? And I said I've got a furniture inquiry You know most people just go into her stores Yeah well most people She gets the message from you And she says, how can I help? And I said, I've got a furniture inquiry. You know, most people just go into her stores. Yeah, well, most people. She gets the message from you and she's like, oh.

Here we go. I'm going to flick her a message. It's actually a good reminder, timely reminder, just to say, hey, happy. Nah, I'll wait till Waitangi Day. Happy Waitangi Day. No, he's just going to say happy Waitangi Day. So the only time you message her isn't when you want something.

Yeah, exactly. It's a maintenance test. It's a maintenance. That's exactly what it is. It's keeping up maintenance. Yeah, right. Because that is right. You don't want to be the person

that only gets in touch with someone when you want something. When you need something. Yeah, you want to be just flicking her. Yeah. How's it going? Because I asked her

if everything was all right when the ads changed. Right. Because I hear so more mellow. Way more mellow. Way more mellow. Way more mellow. Fine.

She's fine. She's changed. Yep. Changed her tack. That's what it was. It's like the America's Cup. She was caught in the dead with a tack. Changed her tack.

Caught a fresh breeze and sailed away. Well, you wish her a happy Waitangi Day. From all of us. No, I can't say anniversary weekend because that's, I don't know when the anniversary weekend is for Hawke's Bay. I have to wait till Hawke's Bay has the anniversary. I'm going to note all these down. I'm going to set some reminders.

But anyway, I don't know why I'm being targeted with mattresses and boxes. Yeah, right. Very unusual. Odd, odd. F.M. Tomorrow. 11 past 1. I've got a lot of numbers in front of me.

4.15 tomorrow is the Black Clash at Hagley Oval. It's team cricket versus team rugby. Yeah. These two teams loaded up with people from their respective sports, coaching the cricket team, Stephen Fleming, Mr. Fujitsu himself, and Sir

Graham Henry, the coach of the rugby team and playing on that rugby team and captain of that rugby team, Kieran Reid. Good morning. Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning. Now, you've got a bit of a cricketing background as well as rugby, don't you? Yeah, I do.

I certainly played a lot back at school and was reasonably successful. But, yeah, I guess it has been tough being here since I've picked up the willow in any kind of competitive match. I heard you talking a bit on the ACC over summer. You did it on tour with the All Blacks. You might do a bit of hallway cricket as well? Yeah, we do. We try and get out.

We carry a bat and ball around with us. Every now and then when we've got a bit of time on our hands, yeah, we'll get it out and have a crack. Who would you have picked from the All Blacks if you could have had anybody? Like, who's the gun cricketer currently in the All Blacks team? Yeah, look, I think we've got him, eh? We've got Geordie Barrett, I reckon, is going to be the guy for us.

He's obviously still pretty young, and he played cricket up to a really high level as well and probably could have gone down that route. Because Geordie and Bowden are playing, aren't they? Yeah, they both are, yeah. So, talented, those guys. It seems really unfair that there's a rugby team and a cricket team all playing cricket.

Like, why don't you play rugby? That's how people get hurt. It does seem a little bit unfair, yeah. But I think if we played rugby, it just probably wouldn't. Yeah, I don't know if it quite works. I don't know why. You guys have got Brendan McCullum on your team. Yeah, I think Ted managed to get the swap in, eh?

We pulled up McCullum. He was a rugby player back in the day, so we were able to bring him in, bolster our squad up. So hopefully that will even up the game somewhat. And what about Israel Dagg? What's he like at cricket? to bring him in both to a squad up. So hopefully that will even up the game somewhat. And what about Israel Dagg? What's he like at cricket? Oh, look, he can bring the ball down at over 140 clicks, I think.

Oh, jeez, okay. Look, we're hoping he can last more than maybe one or two balls at that pace. Yeah, he's going to blow his shoulder out coming in and rocking him in that quick. Right, and with Sir Graham Henry coaching, is he taking this quite seriously balls at that pace. He's going to blow his shoulder out coming in and rocking him in that quick. With Sir Graham Henry coaching, is he taking this quite seriously or is he casual with this?

Oh, look, he's reasonably serious. You know, the old upside down smile is kind of the winner. Once we turn up, we're all getting scared today and looking forward to kind of going together as a team and then into it. But it's supposed to be a bit of a fun watch.

The lads from the ACC are commentating. It's going to be on TV1 tomorrow from 4. But you are all competitive sports people. Is it going to be fun or is it all like, ha-ha, yeah, it's going to be fun out there, let's murder them? Yeah, look, I think it's certainly going to be fun or is it all like, haha, yeah, it's going to be fun out there, let's murder them? Yeah, look, I think it's certainly going to be a bit of fun

and for us, I guess, rugby players, we're not, you know, totally out of our comfort zone playing cricket but we're competitive buggers

and I think it's fair to say probably we'll do our sledging maybe before we bat so then they can't bowl it out out our heads. Right, right. Get the sledging done.

I'm a safe end of things. Well, pretty excited for tomorrow's game. The weather is looking good. Quarter past four is kickball off? Kickoff? What do you want to know? Tickets are available at the gate. Kieran Reid, Team Rugby, good luck, mate.

Hey, thank you very much, guys. All right. Quarter past eight. Next on the show. Big announcement. Big show. Big announcement. Big announcement. Big announcement. A big announcement.

Okay, so for a couple of months now.

I'm going to get paper in front of your face. I have met someone very nice that I am seeing. It's a boy. And we're just seeing where things go. So, yeah, that's cool. So, like, don't hit me up if you want to date me because I can't at the moment. Because at the moment I tell you I can't.

Don't say at the moment. Don't say you like me. Don't say it. You don't. That would be like me saying, hey, have you met my for now wife, Sade? No, but she doesn't want to put a forever tag on it either. She doesn't want to be like. She didn't need to. Don't time frame it.

Just say, I can't. This is so out of my, I literally have no idea what I'm doing. Okay. He is your. No, we're just not seeing other people. It's exclusive. It's exclusive, but we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. Have you had a chat about what it is?

Kind of. Yes. We've said that we're not seeing other people, but we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. Yes. At the moment. How it is going. Okay.

I just wanted to give her space to scream. Can you talk? Okay. No, that's amazing. Out of interest. How did you meet? How did you meet him? We met at work.

How long ago? Well. No, we've. What? Answer the question. Oh my God, people are messaging me. Go away. Well, he's been at work for ages.

Out of interest, was there anybody maybe on the show that said this was worth pursuit last year? Maybe. I just said out of interest, who said last year, this would be a great match-up? Yes, okay. Who said that? Say their name.

Vaughn did. Vaughn Alan Smith. Did he? This is not about you. Sit down. She can have it back now. Sit down. She can have it back now.

So anyway, we're just, I mean, please, I want to ask you two, Megan, you're fine. Yes. Don't ruin this for me. Don't ruin it for her. Why am I going to ruin anything? That's my mum voice. Thank you, Megan.

A couple of questions have come in via the text machine that I would just like for you to address. I'm not going to throw it because, you know, I've been about this. I've got two questions. Someone says, is it Fletch? Why is that so funny? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's not Fletch.

It's so rude. I'm so sorry for Fletch now. Yeah, I think we went a bit... That's yuck for me too. I'm nervous. That's even yucker for me. More than I'll ever know. More yucker for me.

It's just because she's got that brown line that she named Fletch. Yeah, that's why. It's my... There's no... That's not happening. No. Sorry. Love you.

Question. Have you met his parents or any of his family? No, no, no, no, no. Or vice versa? When's your mum flying up? No. No. Another question.

She is flying up in February. Yep. What is flying up. Yep. What is your favourite thing about this person? Oh my God, no. I'll say my favourite thing about him. He's got the most wonderful head of hair. Okay. He does have good hair.

From a bald man. We always notice. Let's shake hair goals. Great hair. No, what's the one thing you like about him? He's very, very lovely and he's very nice to me. He's, yeah, he's great. Right.

I wish you'd said something. Shut up. No, we're very happy for you. And I promise that these two will not ruin it for you. I won't even say what... I was the one that predicted it. I was Nostradamus about this. You don't ruin things.

Are you kidding me? I don't ruin things. I stopped myself from swearing just this. You don't ruin things. Are you kidding me? I don't ruin things. I stopped myself from swearing just then. I don't ruin things. Well, what other questions have come through? Like, people must want to know more. Someone said, is it Jeremy Wells? It's not.

It's not. That would have been great, but. Caitlin, you don't say that. I don't know. I don't know how to do this. No. Ew, yuck. Jeremy Wells.

Gross. Oh, that's a bit harsh. He's a do this. No. Ew, yuck. Jeremy Lowe. Gross. Oh, that's a bit harsh. He's a nice guy. Okay, yeah, he is lovely. A lot of people are like, oh, my God, I thought Caitlin was about to say she's pregnant. Oh, no. Are you pregnant? No, no, no, no.

Fine. No, no, no, no. No, no. But don't ask me for that. One announcement at a time. One announcement at a time. And also, yeah, don't ask me that. Okay, anyway, let's all get back to our lives.

We've got an email yesterday asking if you wanted a stripper for Valentine's Day. Went to turn it down. I said, you know what? And the person was like, you're kidding me. Excuse me, they didn't ask the whole show if we wanted a stripper. We could have all done with that. Yeah, it doesn't mean we can't enjoy

things. Caitlin, you can't say that either. You read the menu, you just can't order. That't enjoy things. Caitlin, you can't say that either. You read the menu. You just can't order. That's the rule. Oh, okay. Andrew, if you're listening, Megan wants a stripper on Valentine's Day. Let's see how. Yeah, see?

Nah. See? Fletch. Yeah, we'll get one for Fletch. Yes. That we can all enjoy. Yay, you're the only single person on the show, Fletch. I mean, I'm still single.

Well, I don't know what to say. Oh, my God. I'm freaking out. You're still single? Come on, man. I know, but I'm not single. single person on the show please i mean i'm still saying oh i don't know what to make oh my god you're in an exclusive relationship with a very nice boy and go to the song fact of the day It comes from an article I found and read Called the apparel industry's environmental impact Oh okay You don't hear much about the impact of clothing on the environment do you?

It's all plastic bags at the moment And straws Yep Dairy farming Yep Often wear it farming. Yep. Often wear it. Meat eating. Yep.

That sort of thing. Oh, I've got a great one. This is going to be a great one if a vegan's wearing cotton for you in a minute. Okay. So the main fact for today is that the average consumer bought 60% more clothing in 2014 than in the year 2000, but keep each garment for half as long. Right. So they're buying 60% more than they did in the year 2000,

but garments are only lasting half as long. Is it because it's so, with online shopping, it's so much easier now to get cheaper clothing from like your H&M's, your Top Shops, and your, I don't know, whatever store you're getting it from. Yeah. You don't have to go anywhere.

But then classically cheaper clothing never lasts as long, does it? Or you just want the more in-style stuff and it's cheap to buy, so you just get it. You get a new one. Yeah. Rather than make it do two seasons or... I don't want you to make me feel guilty about this. Prepare yourself. It takes 2,700 litres of water to make one cotton shirt.

What? 2,700 litres of water to make one cotton shirt. That's enough water for one person to drink for two and a half years. What? That's nuts, eh? But you're recycling it, surely, and then doing multiple T-shirts. It gets too polluted to use too much time for too many times. Yeah, too many times for what they use it for.

And it's not just to make the shirt. It's to grow the cotton as well. Cotton's responsible for 24% of insecticides used in crops worldwide. So a quarter of insecticides users are on cotton crops. And 11% of pesticides, but only account for 3% of the world's farmed land. Right. So there's a lot going. And then the 2,700 litres of water is used for growing and part of the process as well as dyeing the cotton. Right.

It's enough to fill, so worldwide, it would be enough to fill two million Olympic-sized swimming pools. So every time we buy a cheap T-shirt. Yeah. A cotton T-shirt. Yeah. Well, that's more on Vaughan

because he's got the most cheap T-shirts on this show. I don't have, yeah, but mine don't take as much water because they're cheap. But then Vaughan does wear his T-shirts.

Literally till they fall apart. Till they're coming apart at the seams. I make the most of my 2,700 litres per tea. Really? In fact, it probably lasted about as long as two and a half years, which is how long it would take a human to drink that much water. And another thing is the polyester production. So making polyester, the pollution,

the carbon footprint of polyester, the pollution, the carbon footprint of polyester production in the year 2015 was the equivalent of 185 coal-powered plants running 24-7 for a whole year. So we can't eat anything, we can't drink anything, like we're just

screwing up everything, just being alive and living. We have the opposite of the king Midas touch. Everything he touched turned to gold. Humanity, everything we touch turns to turd. So, serious question. If you can't wear polyester or cotton, like, what do you... I'm wearing hemp sacks. Hemp? I don't know.

Yeah. I don't know what... I think you mentioned with the recycled plastic clothing. Active wear. Yeah, but the trouble is those pants cost $286. Like, okay, cool. And they say recycled plastic, but that's a bit. The rest is made up of polyester and cotton.

Right. So you just make it a real big old mess. But today's fact of the day, the main factor in this guilt-filled fact of the day, if you're wearing clothes today, I'll tell you who's having a laugh. Naturists. Nudists.

Nudists. They're like, oh, this is nice. The average customer bought 60% more clothing in 2014 than in the year 2000, but each garment was only kept for half as long. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. I found this article. It's quite interesting. And I know we've touched on this a little bit,

but it's something that in America has been found, and I'm sure it would be the same here in New Zealand. It's found to be hurting especially females' friendships. And it's not boys or boys related. It's nothing to do with boys. It's multi-level marketing schemes. So where you're selling your friends something

like cosmetics, skincare, containers, nutritional... Oh, like adult fun toy parties. Adult fun toy parties. But it's a bit different to that. Okay. Yeah, but different to that.

It's a bit different. It's not just like Sue's going to be here with a range of stock. Come and buy off her. It's not that. It's where you sell them something for them to sell on to somebody and you've got to sign up. Multi-level marketing is what it's called. And it's not illegal.

It's not exactly ethical to drag your friends in and then be making money off the people that you're selling stuff to. If you're in at the top, big money to be made. But if you're down the bottom, lots of money to be lost. Well, that's why people say it's a pyramid-esque. It's a modern-day pyramid scheme. It's not illegal, but it's not exactly...

So from this article, 18.6 million Americans are involved in direct sales. A staggering 74% of those are women wow so they are hitting up their friends saying you need to buy this stuff and it can be anything

like we mentioned cosmetics to candles to nutritional shakes yeah right anything like that where you've got to get your friend to sign up and buy yeah

like you mentioned and then they can make money they buy a whole lot and then of that they can sell it to get your friend to sign up and buy, like you mentioned. And then they can make money. They buy a whole lot and then of that, they can sell it and they're going to sell all that and then you get a portion of that and the person that got you into it

gets a portion of your share of their share. So you've got to be careful if your friend's signing you up for this because in America, and I don't know how things work here, but in America, according to a Federal Trade Commission report, less than 1% of anyone involved

in a multi-level marketing scheme will profit. Less than 1%. And they're always the ones that are touted about and be like, look how much money this person's making. What they don't tell you is the other 99 people for that one person that did not make any money out of it. And then, so they compared that to if you started just a small business on your own selling,

I don't know, you could be selling nutritional shakes or whatever, of those, 39% are profitable over the lifetime of the business. So you are much better to go out on your own. Start your own little business. And start your own little business. I don't know, an e-store or something. Because then you pay tax, but only one person's getting a share.

Yeah. Exactly. And that's kind of, one would argue that that tax is beneficial to society to function. But, and the reason I'm, I haven't read this article you're reading, but I'm imagining it's tearing friendships apart because the top dog depends on you to be selling to make money. And then if you don't, they're going to be like, well, what's going on? I make money when you make money.

And then it actually costs you money. So you begrudge your friend who's cost you money when they promised they were going to be making everybody a lot of money. Yeah, so your friend gets into it but is hounding you to get onto it. Essentially like a mini boss. And then you do. This article talks about those times when you hear from those friends that you don't really hear from that

much until they've got something to sell you or sign you up for this scheme. Yeah. Yeah. But I'd just be really interested to know if anyone has ever had a friendship ruined by a scheme like this or just going into business with a friend. Going into business with

friends would be hard, right? And it's bad because you're like friends or someone could say, we're friends, we'll work it out. We don't need to get this all legally. We don't need to take care

of you 100%. That needs to be written and sorted and signed. So then if it all falls to bits or if it goes really, really well, there's not going to be an argument on who's entitled

to what. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe you're listening, you've gone into business with a friend or you've had a friendship ruined from a friend that tried to sell you some stuff and sign you up. 0800 dials at M9696. Talking about if a business or a venture has ever torn a friendship apart

because Fletch read there's a worrying trend 75% of people doing multi-level marketing 79 sales even yeah

are females yeah and there's a new just people are being torn apart by their friendships have been torn apart by promises made

and then obviously wildly hard to live up to because these schemes need you to sign up your friends so that you know they start selling and then you get a bit of it and everyone's getting a cut.

So it's not just those, though. Somebody else said, my friends bought a business together. They put their life savings, two of them, into a local sports shop. The relationship turned sour after a month. One of the mates ripped off the other one. Turned out they lost about $150,000. Oh, my God. Didn't go through the right channels getting lawyers and everything

because they're friends and they thought, you know. Oh, no. They can, through the right channels getting lawyers and everything because they're friends and they thought, you know, they can, you know, we're mates, we'll get this done. And then I was stuck in the middle between them because they both have different stories of what happened. Oh, geez.

It's so, it's risky business. Risky business. Pun. Jessica, what happened? So my very close friend and I now don't talk at all. So while I was still pregnant with my twins, she kind of started getting into a health and beauty product. Okay.

And selling it. It was all right. She kind of come to me with a couple of things and I just said, no, not at the moment. After I'd had my twins and they were about four months old, she'd come to me to try to get me to sell for her. She tried for a couple of months to try and get me to sell for her and told me that I should have plenty of time around my twins.

I do a lot of sports as well, and I have a full-time job, and there's no way that I shouldn't have time to do it. I got really, really pushy, so we don't talk anymore. And after that, she actually tried to recruit my younger sister, who was studying at the time, and she tried for four months to get her into selling it for her as well. Boy, she's a terrible salesperson. Yeah.

Absolutely. That's the dream that sold, right? Like, they fall for it, and they're like, well, you know, everyone else is going to jump on board this great opportunity I presented to work from home and make thousands of easy dollars. Yeah, exactly. And it was all this oh, you'll make $4,000 within

your first month and it will just go up from there. It's insane. I'm making so much money. I was like... Was she actually making that much money though? No, absolutely not. She was sprinting on every last dollar she had. Because her making money depends on her friends starting

to do the thing as well. Yeah, absolutely. And not many of us are signing up for it or not any that I know. Yeah. Wow,

Jessica, thank you so much for your call. Some other text messages in. Somebody said, I'm actually in the middle of this right now. We cannot, friends who have been

friends with this girl for life, cannot convince her that the weekend she just spent with people who sold her the dream and she drank the Kool-Aid, we cannot, as a group, convince her that this isn't going to end well. I think if all your group of friends are saying,

you've got to listen. Yeah. It's hard, though. Should you just, like, stand back and let her learn her lesson and just be there for her? Or are you going to try and step in and potentially lose the friendship and be like, stop it? Well, just say, look, we don't want to get involved.

You do you. Yeah, don't get involved. And then you're like, you say, be there at the end. And be there when it falls. I'd call their mum. You call their mum, you're like, hey, she's about to get scammed. And then mum's like, scam? It's definitely not a scam, but I have got an opportunity for you.

You're like, oh, no, it's got the whole family. Run. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. We can do it, David. We can. ZDM.
