Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Morning. So this Apple bug means if I was ringing Fletch and then Fletch is like, oh God, I'm not answering this dickhead's call. I could hear that. Morning. So this Apple bug means if I was ringing Fletch and then Fletch is like,

oh, God, I'm not answering this dickhead's call, I could hear that. No, Megan and I tried this this morning before you got to work. So apparently you have to, while it's ringing, add yourself to the call. But I couldn't add myself to the call. It's been blacked out, that button. It's been blacked out, that button. Oh, right. So apparently if you can add yourself to the call, then you can listen before they answer.

Oh God, I don't want to talk to him. He's an asshole. But you're making the call, but you've got to be able to add yourself to the call. Yeah, I don't know. I tried, but it wouldn't let me. So maybe they've blacked out the button while they fix it. Maybe.

I don't know. Or maybe it works for some people. Adding yourself to a call that you're making sounds like the start of the end of the universe as well. I don't know how someone figured it works for some people. Adding yourself to a call that you're making sounds like the start of the end of the universe as well. I don't know how someone figured that out. It's a paradigm. He's added himself to it. Yeah.

We cease to exist. Yeah. Weird. It's deep. You all right? Oh, I've got spew lodged in my nose. Great. I spewed this morning before work.

Good start to the day. Yeah. And I didn't know this Because in the morning When I'm at the gym Is when I communicate With my friend in England Right Because that's when he's like

Awake yeah Not doing any work And I didn't know But when he spews It doesn't get stuck In his back Out of his nose

I don't think That happens to me either I always get up Up into the nose. Like sinuses and the nasal cavity and everything. I feel like you'd be a real over-the-top singer. Oh, yeah, you're a real trimmer. I'm quite loud and halfway through I always panic and cough

and so it splutters everywhere and I think that's what forces it up my nose. Why do you, what? Are you sick? I don't know what caused it. You don't know. I don't know what caused it. Were you on the treadmill? I was pushing myself pretty hard, bruh.

Oh, bruh. That's all you're lifting. Hiat. Oh, right. Hiat. Oh, that's what we want to do. Yeah. But no, I just felt it coming.

I was like, oh, I better take myself off to the toilet. I was like, cough, cough. Barack is not fun to spew. No. Mix that with some chunky apple. You guys have a horrible, horrible situation. But you're here at work. Do you see this kind of work ethic in Ternania?

Vaughn spewed this morning and he's at work. Yeah, but he keeps banging on about it, doesn't he? Nana Millenia would have taken a bloody week off just to recover. Lodge at ACC, Clay. I wouldn't have been at the gym at 4am in the first place. That's the difference. Absolutely. His mistake.

Very true, very true. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news headlines for story time as per usual. Vaughan and Megan picked one of the following

three headlines. Headline one, man claims personal use. Headline two, 99,000 bottles of water in the river. Oh, no. I wanted to sing the original lyrics. It was hard.

And headline three, police shocked. There you go. I quite liked one. What was one? Man claims personal use. That'll be marijuana based. Marijuana? But it'll be marijuana based. Marijuana?

But it'll be heaps. I'm not saying. But it'll be heaps. If it's a yes. No, I'm not giving anything away if you want that one. Just pick it. Because if it comes in here, I reckon there'll be some really interesting court cases of people who are like,

look, I just, I got, I saw a knee. And that bootload, that field that used to grow maize, that's just how much I need for my knee. What was three? Police shocked. Or the river full of 99,000 bottles of water. Well, say some bottles of water have fallen in a river. A lot of them.

99,000 at estimations. I'll have one or three. Do you want three? Police shocked. Personal use. Yeah, you choose. Police shocked. You want that one?

Yep. We go to Norfolk. Norfolk Island. Or Norfolk. Norfolk in the UK. In the UK. Where police were shocked to find a car being driven

erratically. They had pulled over this car. It looks like a, just a red car from the photos. It's just red. It just looks like a little, you know. It looks like a Volkswagen. Yep, or maybe a little Mazda or something. Yeah, small car. Just a little runabout car. They were shocked to find it driving erratically

and on closer inspection found that the front right wheel was not even on the car. What do you mean? It was missing. It was driving on three wheels. It was driving on three wheels. It was missing one of its tyres. Thus the

erratic nature. Yeah. So they gave the driver a breathalyser and the reading was more than three times the drink drive limit. And gave the driver a breathalyser, and the reading was more than three times the drink drive limit. Oh, wouldn't it be? And so the driver was arrested on suspicion of drink driving. And, yeah, shocked to find that the wheel, quite a lot below the minimum 1.6 mil tread.

Quite a lot. Like negative. Like no wheel. Negative 15 centimetres. I'm sure you can still drive. I mean obviously

they were driving. It wasn't radically but Well yeah well your steering would be on one wheel. Yeah. And if it was front wheel drive like a lot of small cars are

It would be quite hard. Driving and steering on one wheel without the other wheel for counterbalance. Was it just grinding along the ground? It does look chewed down.

It looks chewed. You're seeing a photo there, Vaughn. Yeah. It looks well chewed down. I'll show you a photo. What's the... Oh, shit. Okay.

The car doesn't look nearly damaged enough. No, it's weird. Maybe they were just so drunk they didn't notice. Yeah. How many times over the limit did you say?

Three. That's a cracking amount. Yeah. Yeah, right. A cracking amount. Shouldn't be driving at all. The top six is coming up on the show. Yeah, the top six today is the top six outrageous things

that happened during the Ponsonby power outage yesterday in Auckland. As the country suffered in the middle of one of the hottest days on record for a lot of places around the country, Ponsonby was without their air con. The top six outrageous things that happened in Ponsonby yesterday. Next on the show, though, we need to talk about this woman in Timaru, the strawberry woman, who put a needle in a strawberry. She went to court yesterday.

And cost the South Island delicious strawberries on a whole as so many strawberries were destroyed. I'm livid. You can take this story because I think... She's going to wear it. You're not going to get any pleasantries out of me. FEM. The name and photo has been released of the Timaru woman,

mother of two, setting a great example for her children, that faked finding a needle in her strawberry from a pack and save in Timaru. And she led to the destruction of 2,040 punnets of strawberries from pack and save. We said at the time, Megan, especially seeing those photos of the paddocks in Australia full of strawberries,

give them to someone to jam and serve. What a waste. Yeah, such a waste. And obviously it was a copycat, wasn't it? It was. But I know you've got to be safe, and if you're the supermarket, you've really got no other option, do you?

Mm. I'm going to chuck them out. J. Dean. I think. J. Dean. Right. Temperley, 26, which blew everybody's mind here.

Oh, yeah, because she doesn't look 26. Like she was't look 26. She looks like she was 26, 26 years ago. Like she's celebrating her 26th, 26th. Just, you know that New Zealand is going to give her hell. So let's not go to extremes and be nasty to her. Yeah, I don't know. This may be an alias. Right.

Okay. Shut up. You're so cheeky. You're so cheeky. I won't say it then. Okay. Shut up. You're so cheeky. You're so cheeky. I won't say it then. Fine. All I'll say is, come on, minions. It's time to go do evil things other places.

So she bought the strawberries, took them home, put them in her fridge, then stuck a needle in them, then took a photo and put it on her Facebook page and said, can anyone else see this needle in this strawberry? Oh, my God. These are purchased from Pack and Save. And people said, go to the police, quick, go to the supermarket. So they went back to Pack and Save and Pack and Save were like, come on, I'll give you the money back and here's a $20 Pack and Save voucher.

But is this legit because we'd have to destroy all our strawberries? She said, yes. So after, I don't know if some heat was put on. Right. Like good cop, bad cop. Yeah, yeah. There might have been a good cop, bad cop situation. But then

she said, oh, my friend did it. My friend put the needle in the strawberry and told me to put it on to try to get some free stuff. And then admitted that there was no friend that did it, done it herself. Yeah. So, idiot. Absolute idiot.

So what did she get? Did she get just fined? I don't know what it was. It was certainly fined more than a $20 package voucher and a refund on a pun of the strawberries that time of year where you can get a great, you can get a steal on a pun of the strawberries in the summer months. So,

that's good. I'm glad someone's been caught and like, stuck with it. But I hope the punishment is like, hefty so that people don't do it.

It's just stupid. Because what's happening with the woman in Australia that started all of this? Oh, yeah. That was some old, like, innocent looking woman, eh?

Yeah. She's a bit crazy, was she? I think so, yeah. I think she had some vengeance on her mind. Some payback. But that must be coming to the court soon. She's definitely being charged. That could be a Netflix drama.

Yeah. Could be. A Netflix true crime. Then you get an episode where you're like, what's happening on this episode? I don't remember this. And then you find out it's the flashback episode. And they give you her backstory

as to why she's stuck in a little bit of strobes. a special one-off. Just a one-off. I don't know if we're getting 10 eps out of that, to be honest. I was thinking four tops.

From the ZM Think Tank, this is the top six. Oh my gosh. Yesterday, there was a power outage in Ponsonby. Shock. This is Auckland's la-di-da suburb, isn't it? Yeah, it is.

It's the birthplace of the coffee culture. It's got to have everything for everybody, really. Still have a KFC? Yeah. See, something for everybody. So when the power went out, and it was out for quite a while. Yeah. On one of Auckland's hottest days of the year.

Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. So the top six outrageous things that happened during the Great Ponsonby power outage of 2018. 19. I just, 2019. Oopsie. I did it.

Because I just said it was the power went out and someone's like, no, it was the Great Ponsonby Power Outage of 2019. Okay. We will rebuild. Kia kaha. Number six. On the top six outrageous things that happened

during the Great Ponsonby Power Outage of 2019, a new coffee was invented because the barista was halfway through the milk throughing. Yeah. invented because the barista was halfway through the milk throughing. Yep. No power. Okay, so what's the new coffee? They're calling it a half flat white. Right, okay.

Half flat or an undulating white. That's just not like a small flat white? Extra flat white. No, because it's like, it's the same size. Right. But the milk's not as flat. Right. Okay. That's just not an Americano with milk?

No. No. Oh, right. Okay. It's a half flat white. Right. Okay. Much less flat milk.

Right. Number five on the list of the top six outrageous things that happened during the Great Ponsonby power outage of 2019. A Range Rover got beeped at when the lights weren't working. Oh my gosh. It gets worse. The Range Rover was beeped at by

a Toyota. Like, how dare you? Beep at me. That horn sounds so Japanese. Yikes. Excuse me? Excuse me?

You go on right through the lights that aren't working and you're clap banged, piece of shit. I'm driving a Range Rover up in here. Yes, full-time four-wheel drive. No, I don't need it. You just never know. Be prepared. Number four on the list of the top six outrageous things

that happened during the Great Ponsonby Power Outage of 2019. It's just that it's hard to say. Okay. Somebody's Aperol Spritz was served with ice cubes that were smaller than usual because it started melting because the freezer had run out of power. That's terrible. And then they actually got a couple less because they had to make the ice go further. Thoughts and brains.

Thoughts and brains. Thoughts and brains. Number three on the list of the top six outrageous things that happened during the great Ponsonby power outage of 2019 yesterday. Someone working retail got fluffy hair. Oh, my God. Because the air con stopped working and the straightening that they did that morning did nothing. Yeah. It also.

It gets worse. How can it get any worse? My makeup ran, okay? I never want to say it. That's horrible to say. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing.

I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing.

I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. I feel like I'm swearing. Number two on the list of the top six outrageous things that happened during the Great Ponsonby Parade of 2019. This one's air conditioning related as well. Someone's air conditioned garage. Air conditioned garage. Got really hot

and then the car's seat was pretty hot to sit on, okay? Oh no. Okay, when they got in the car, the seat was hot on their bum. Not like seat warmer hot, but like burning hot.

And then they were like, I'm using it. And they grabbed the seatbelt and the buckle part was real hot, okay? And it really

hurt them, okay? I do hate that. I love sprinting down. My power goes out, okay. And the number one thing that happened yesterday, the most outrageous thing that happened during the Great Ponsonby Power Age of 2019. Okay, it was so hot and the air conditioning wasn't working okay

that someone who's had Botox in their pits to stop them getting sweaty pits, they got sweaty pits, okay? It was that high And it was visible through their white linen shirt And it was awful And people were looking and like trying not to say stuff But they totally were saying stuff And okay

They just cannot go back there Yeah They've filed an ACC claim They're going to get some time off work, okay? It was real high and the power went out, okay? That is today's top six. Last year, we found out towards the end of last year that there were hedgehogs named after us.

Well, we learned a lot. We learned about Hedgehog Rescue, the crazy hedgehog lady in Christchurch. That's the Facebook page of a lady. Calls herself that. Yeah, calls herself that. We just joined in. That she rescues hedgehogs.

If you find a hedgehog in a state of distress. She'll look after it. She raises them with the intention of a re-release into the wild. Which is quite nice. That's the end game. Because no one else is really doing that. And I would have thought that they're pretty hardy little buggers. They drop like

flies. Well, she found a batch, a litter of hedgehogs and three of them needed names and she called them Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. Megan was the first to go. Weak of spirit. Ill of body. And she was gone.

R.I.P. She was gone. Yeah, that was pretty sad. And then Fletch was the next to go. It's because she had to put up with those two. Yeah, she was just like, actually, you know what? I'm out. Yeah. I'm a hedgehog out of here.

Next to go after showing all the promise in the world and Fletch died. I know. And it was pretty sad. R.I.P. That was like at the end of November, right? You kept hogging the saucer of milk. Yeah, hedgehogging the milk. Yeah.

Although I don't know, are we lactose intolerant? Us hedgehogs? Yeah, I don't think you're supposed to get the milk. We eat cat meat. Oh, you ate all the cat meat. I was straight into the whiskers. I gave up. All up in the friskies.

And then I was the sole survivor of the pack. I got taken to a school and shown to the kids. A hero, they said. Both in hedgehog and human form. No, no one said that. And I'm pretty sure they said it.

No one said that. I'm pretty sure they said it. And then, I didn't know this, we finished work last year on the 14th of December. Yeah.

That was our last day. No one told us that on the 13th of December, totally unexpectedly, Vaughn passed away. Oh, that's terrible news. Yeah. How's crazy hedgehog lady? She was.

She said, well, last night I thought I saw a hedgehog. And I was like, what did happen to those hedgehogs? And I had to scroll a fair way back because the passion that the crazy hedgehog lady in Christchurch has for hedgehogs means she posts a fair bit on Facebook. Right. And man, she gets through some hedgehogs. Sadly, sadly, they, you know, are found without a mother or whatever or lost or hungry or attacked by dogs is quite often a problem. What about their spikes? I thought that was a defence.

They get the heady bit. Oh, okay, right. The soft bit. They roll them over. I'm not exactly sure. Right. But she gets a lot, so I scroll back, and yeah, on December 13th,

the status said, totally, totally unexpected. Vaughn's died this morning. I'm shattered. Over the past 14 or so days, I've grown so attached. The Rolleston baby hasn't made it either. That was a baby that came into the,

was found in Rolleston. I don't want to point fingers, but I think the Rolleston baby brought some sort of sickness into the house. And killed you. Does any of these hedgehogs survive? Do we need to look at her methods? No, there aren't. Look, here's some release photos.

Here's some release photos. Did she release them? Yeah. She has one of those really super classic looking cat bowls. It's got two bowls. There's one and it's plastic. And one in its place and one side's water and one side's jelly meat Good on her

That's so nice And there they are having one last feed of bickies That's quite sizeable there right Yeah Oh my god they wander off into Off they go

There's a photo of it off into the grass Skiddly dee See you buddy See you later champ That is the cutest ever That's a lot of commitment We all died Yeah I mean I think See you, buddy. See you later, chat. That is the cutest ever. That's a lot of commitment.

Well, sad news. Yeah, we all died. Yeah. I mean, I think it's only fair we just have a moment of silence. Yeah. Good call. What's that in the background? I can hear like a tiny, really light music playing.

Yeah, no, I don't know. Is that some bleed from another radio station? It might be. It might be some bleed in your headphones. We can't very well at the moment silence if there's bleed. We can't go silent for too long because otherwise the silent alarm goes off. Who does that call? Ross, I think. Yeah, let's do it.

How long do you have to be silent for the silence alarm, guys? Let's try it. Music will start playing. Oh, no, we don't want to do that. Okay, so let's have a moment of silence until the emergency music starts. No, but that starts playing over, doesn't it? And then it'll ruin things. And then we can't have control again.

No. Can't we? No, we can't. Should we just try? I'm just like, yes. This is the hour to try it. Ready? Okay, silence.

No, we're not doing that. All in favour? No. I'm going to leave this up to the first person that text messages us on 9696. Do we go silence or do we not? We're not. No.

All they've got to do is text you so I'm just refreshing. No, I know but I'm leaving it up to the first person who messages to decide. There's no one listening. No, it's just a very slow reload. I think maybe I'm doing it wrong. Alright, we're done. It's just a very slow reload. I think maybe I'm doing it wrong. All right.

We're done. All right. I don't think anyone's listening to this show. No, the text machine's not reloading. Here we go. It's. Stop being bloody stupid. Do it.

Do it. Do it. Yes. Yes. Do it. Silence. Do it. Shut the F up, which I'm pretty sure means go silent.

Okay. Right. In their own special way. Okay, let's go. Okay, but when we do this, a song just starts playing. A moment's silence for the hedgehogs that have gone before us. Shh. Shh.

Megan, you're ruining it. Whose phone vibrated? Mine. Okay, we have to start again now. Okay. Oh, that was my fault. I put the music on accidentally. That was me that time.

We're going to start again because it's going to be 10 seconds of nothing. Oh, that was me again. Sorry. What are you doing? What are you doing that for You did it That was cool The light flashed The light flashed

Wow It flashed three times as well And Three hedgehogs Three Oh And now Ross is getting a call to wake up Good It flashed. Wow. It flashed three times as well and three hedgehogs. Oh. Oh, my God, guys. And now Ross is getting a call to wake up.

Good. Wake up, you lazy son of a bitch. FEM. ZM. Air traffic controllers, pretty important. Yes. I've seen that Billy Bob Thornton movie. Which one?

Pushington. Okay. Is that vintage? This is one of those movies. The first time I saw it, it was on late at night, and the next day I was like, did I dream that, or was that a movie? Like, it's a weird, these two. That's old, though, that movie. Really old movie.

But what other movies have there been about air traffic controllers? None. I don't believe any. These two, like, rival air traffic controllers. Billy Bob Thornton's like the relaxed cool dude one and the other one's like by the book and he gets really angry that Billy Bob Thornton's so casual about it. Okay, I prefer that one.

The by the book one. The by the book guy. Yeah. Well, most people do if they're going to be coming in on a plane to land. And then they start pushing it a bit too hard. It's called pushing tin. And there's a couple in there that misses. Wow. That's the climax of the movie. And then's a couple in there, Mrs. Wow.

It's the climax of the movie. And then you can see why the next day I was like, is that real? Some would say Hollywood's saturated with air traffic control movies. Yeah, yeah. Too many at this point. Too many. They were getting desperate for storylines. Yeah.

So air traffic controllers in New Zealand, I didn't know this, but they are scheduled on in regional airports. Yeah. Most of the time there's only one of them. They work the whole day that the regional airports open. They're not allowed breaks because planes have to land, like scheduled breaks of a certain length. Right.

Imagine they can probably run to the coffee machine and be like, Oh, NZ4287 from Gizzy is going to be 10 minutes away. I'll just... Make a coffee. Make a slow coffee in the coffee machine. Because do you remember, was it Gisborne or Napier? No, I think it was Gizzy. There was the air traffic controller that was late a couple of times

and the MP tweeted out about it. Yeah. Because they literally couldn't take off until he was there. There's only one of them. We wouldn't be allowed a sick day. And they can't just be like, oh, I need to go to a toilet, I'll go. Because they might have planes incoming Which is pretty crazy

I've never thought about that No neither But then like If you've got a headset on You could sneak to the toilet Well that's what they have been doing They've been managing the airspace From the toilet

So that's where they'll keep Their headphones on I don't know if it's on a cord Like a really long stretchy cord In my mind it is But maybe they've gone for a Bluetooth. Yeah, it might be Bluetooth.

But then Bluetooth's pretty sketchy. It's line of sight connection. Yeah. Like, you'd have to turd with the door open and, like, be able to see

the control panel. Wouldn't you? True. Well, I suppose... Well, they've actually said that they do that. They manage airspace from the toilet.

But you're not... You know a plane's coming before you see it, right? So they don't necessarily need to see it. They don't need to see it. Yeah, but, like, it's not unsafe. They're just keeping in contact with it, right? Yeah. Like, I imagine they're not going to the toilet, he or she are not going to the toilet

on approach, like, when it's landing. Well, no, they can't. Right. But managing airspace is just, yeah, literally having your headset on, listening and answering any questions. But what if they're like, oh, so this plane's coming into land, and then you're like, oh, yeah, okay, that's sweet. And then you forget, oh, no, that other one was like just in the airspace. Because you can't have it in front of you.

Because you're doing a poo. Well, imagine it's all computerised. Wouldn't you have to input some stuff? Look, I don't know how it works. I don't know how it works. I'd be far happier when I'm already flying on a plane that's a prop-driven

plane because I don't trust you at all. I need a jet engine under me or beside me or holding onto the wing of the plane I'm on.

One that can easily explode and catch fire more than a quicker death. Most preferred. Most preferred that that explodes where we plummet to the earth.

Prop turns off or one of them breaks off, shoots through the cabin, depressurises. Slow, painful. Quick, fast. I need to know the guy's not, you know. Because me, I'm like, I'll just go to the toilet in between songs. I get there, I sit down and then I forget I've got a job to do. You can't go to the toilet within a three-minute song.

Well, I can't. I shan't hurry. Right. And also, people talk to you and you're half an hour later, you're like, sorry, what? What? What are we doing? Who said that?

Clear the land? Yeah, I'm like. Or you'd just be like, yeah. I think this is why you're not in here, traffic control, and you're on the radio. Yeah, I would totally lack the, like I would have. Concentration. I would have alt-tabbed out of the program to play Solitaire

or the coolest game I could find on the work computer. We're always fairly restricted. Meanwhile, there's all these planes circling. Yeah, or reading theories for the upcoming Avengers movie. Someone's like, Vaude, are we clear to land? I'd be like, I don't know, guys. Is Thanos happy with what he did? I've got a feeling there's going to be some regret there.

There's been some new research released by the Australia Institute. It's looking into the economic cost of trolling. So people online bullying. Right, okay. That's actually, I never thought about it, but totally good call. Like, you think about if you're paying someone to work and they're on stuff.co.nz comments on Facebook being racist.

Yeah, that's costing you more. Not only is it morally very questionable that your employees on there saying those sorts of things, but it's also costing you money. You're taking it from the person who's writing it point of view. I didn't think about that. You meaning like someone's taking the time out of their working day to be a troll. Yeah. This is taking it from the other standpoint, someone who has been trolled.

So the economic cost of the people who are being bullied. Right. So this has come from an author, Ginger Gorman. She wrote a book and it's called Troll Hunting. So she commissioned the study. Right. And it has said that nearly two out of five, or 39%, of the people surveyed said they'd been trolled online. So this ranges from any kind of threat of assault or like any kind of harm to you.

You know what online trolling is. That's how many people said they experienced it. Right. That equates to 1.3 million Australians saying that they've experienced serious online trolling. Wow. That's got to be quite low. Surely it's more than that. Well, that's just the study, the sample size that they took.

So she said one in eight people said online abuse had negatively impacted their wellbeing. That's the equivalent to over two million Australians. Right. So, basically, using that, they've worked out that it would cost the country a loss of productivity of up to $3.7 billion. A year? Wow. Because people saying, you know, if they've experienced online trolling,

it's led them to working less or earning less. What, because they might not want to go to work? They might not. They're just like, I need a mental health day. And, you know, that's just taking into account trolling. That's not even taking into account the fact that people are looking at everybody else's lives on Instagram and thinking they've got a better life. Yeah.

Because they're seeing their highlights real. That's true. And then needing a mental health day or not enjoying life as much as they should. And if someone's bringing you down online, then you're maybe not going to excel in your job, which would be the earning less thing. You're like, okay, well, I'm not worth a pay rise.

I'm not worth, I shouldn't go for that job because I am shit. I'm not worth a pay rise, but you don't need anybody go for that job because I am shit I'm not worth a pay rise but you don't let anybody know that how much is it costing Australia did you say 3.7 billion and that's just from that

that's just from the people on the receiving end yeah of trolling as you say Fletch not the people who are obsessed with other people's lives and feel they're not worth it

and then the people wasting time who are probably being paid to be at work on computers but using that time incorrectly. Commenting on stuff stories. And worth billions of dollars.

Yeah. You guys don't get online bully day. No, I just tell people to F off and I burn their house down and kill their family. That seems to stop people pretty quick. That's online bullying. Fine, if someone comes in with a match, you go back with a flamethrower.

Always have to tell Vaughn to tone it down a little bit. Think before you sin. Nah. Did Joffrey tone it down a little bit? No, Joffrey did not tone it down a little bit. Joffrey is not around anymore. Yeah, but for a couple of seasons

he was unstoppable. Spoiler alert, Caitlin's still watching Game of Thrones. Where have you seen little Joffrey? Why didn't you just tell me that? I said he's not around. You've seen little Joffrey. He could have written off into the sunset.

You don't know what happened? You don't know what happened? I know what's happening. I'm episode eight of the first season. Bitch, we all watch Capitrones a lot. Okay. Let me catch up. Caitlin's been bullied on work time.

By Megan. Mark it down. Productivity in New Zealand had a bad start for a Wednesday. Yes, it did. Well, yesterday it was M-Day. M-Day. Mark it down. Productivity in New Zealand at a bad start for a Wednesday. Well, yesterday it was M-Day. M-Day. M-Day. Mower Day.

Oh, what a day. I was so excited when I left here because I left here and I was like, oh God, mower's getting delivered after lunch.

It's close to lunch. What if I miss it? Is it like a career or are they like, we came and no one was home and we'll come back later? I don't know. I've never had a mower delivered to my house. What if I miss it? Is it like a career? Are they like, we came, but no one was home. We'll come back later? I don't know. I've never had a mower delivered to my house.

And neither have I. So I don't know. So I get home, and then I hadn't missed it, and I got a call from Terry. Great name for Salmour's Irish. Terry. Brilliant. And he says, hey, is it all right if we bring the mower out soon? And I tried to play it cool.

I was like, yeah, that sounds all right. But I was just like, ah! He must see this all the time. It's happening, it's happening. And so I waited on the driveway for them. Did you? Yeah. I saw your wife's Instagram story.

You were waiting there like a little kid waiting for Santa. I was just like, I want to see it coming. And then it came on the back of a truck. Yeah. And then it came down the ramp. And it's a ride- waiting for Santa. I know, I know. It's just like, I want to see it coming. And then it came on the back of a truck. Yeah. And then it came down the ramp and it's a ride-on mower. It's not just a block of push mower.

Yeah. Well, you've been talking about getting one of these for so long. It's kind of, it's weird. All my life, I've kind of thought

one day I'll get to own a ride-on mower. That's pretty true. Like, it's a lame dream to me. Like, that's lame. Like, some people have a dream to go travelling, like, around the world for, like, two years or something. It's a lame dream to me. Like some people have a dream to go travelling like around the world for like two years or something. It's a long time to be away from the mower.

But I'm like, I'm happy for you that you've realised the dream. Yeah. Your lame dream. I know, thanks. Like some people have dreams to like help people in the community all their life. I could, I could mow their lawns. Yeah. They were really like close and they were at a like pickle.

Okay, yeah. I could say, you're right, their ma was broken. They'd be like, yeah, it's a funny thing. And I'd be like, hey, tell you what, I'll just nip home and get the ride on. I'd say that, but I'd probably be riding the ride on at the time. Okay, right. That's my new vehicle of choice. Yeah.

So, yeah, I got the tutorial from G. Jed or G? Terry. No, Terry and Ted. No, Ted was at the shop. Ted was at the shop. Right. I thought Ted was delivering it. No, Tez is at the shop Tez is at the shop I thought Tez was delivering No, no, no Tez is shop based

He's got all the knowledge So Jez is showing you how to Jez is practicum Okay, right Tez and Jez Tez and Jez So G gives me the tutorial on how to do it Yeah

How hard is it? How it sit on it and press play? This is why your fast and loose attitude towards right on my eyes is why you will not be engaging blades. You know how we've talked about engaging blades as like a joke? That's the official term. Is it? Because he said, okay, so revs right up, engage blades,

and I shit myself laughing. I was just like, he's like, what? I was like, I didn't know that was like the official term. I just thought I said that because I thought it sounded funny. He's like, no, no, no, you're engaging the blades.

Very serious. Yeah, okay. And then you lower it down. So this is something you'd jump on, rip shit and bust, you'd lower it, then engage blades.

Oh yeah, like that time. Engage, then lower. Like that time I got fired from being a pilot because I put the landing gear up at the gate.

Yeah, that's it. And just, poof. You're like, oh, that had to happen at some stage. I just thought I could just pin it. Yeah. Pull that in and then pin it. And it would work. And see what that did. So then I mowed,

oh, I can't even describe it. It was beautiful. You mowed the lawns? I mowed my lawns. It was so much fun. It's got a trailer. I towed the trailer around. Where does the grass go? Does it suck it up into a catcher? No, it chops it up and just spits it out. Here's what Jez tells me.

He's like, if this is going well, you can get a mulching kit, a mulching blade. So that means it cuts it and chucks it up into the mower, and then when it falls back down, it cuts it again and shoots it into the grass. Is it like the mulch feeds the grass? Yeah. And then the grass grows faster

and you've got to mow more. Yeah, but you get a thick grain coverage. Oh, okay. Yeah. But a lawn pawn. A lawn pawn. So I was doing a shut-eye

and just kept like looking over the fence and I was just like, nah, just driving around and I'd pull up. So now as opposed to her catching in the laundry playing with yourself,

it's just going to be you in the garage with the lawnmower. With the lawnmower, yeah. Sitting on the lawnmower. What kind of lawnmower is it? What's the brand? Cub Cadet.

A what? I know, you've never heard of it, but it's New Zealand's biggest road and lawnmower brand. It's 1992, 10 years been selling them. Fly out the door. Are you on commission for these?

Nope. Hashtag spawn? Absolutely no spawn. I won't be fire festivaled into this one. It's a legit product. I'm non-paid endorsement. Never heard of it before. No, good fun.

What's the, explain to me why you're so jazzed about cutting your grass with a right on lawnmower. Like, I just don't get it. It's hard to explain. Okay. I don't know. I wore my, when I because I put a few videos on Instagram with the whole thing going down, like 17 of them or something.

I was like tap, tap, tap, tap. I got carried away. And I wore my popper's hat because when my popper passed away, I inherited his hat because that's where I get my big head from. It's like an outback hat or something, isn't it? It's an Akubra is the brand. And so many people are like, where's the hat from? And I think I inherited it from him.

If you can do something, do it with a motor under you. But I don't know, were they serious? Like when they said, where's the hat from? That's vintage. That's official vintage. Did that annoy you that they weren't concentrating on the law? No, because it was about a mower secondary hat inquiries. Got to have a wide brim hat when you're out.

You'd be mad to get the top of your ears burnt. Right, yeah. So when do we get to come around and play? Play is a funny word to use. It's a professional instrument. I'm going to go loose around the house. I don't think I want you to be on it, Fletch. I just think you're a bit fast and loose.

Have you driven a zero turn mile? Before you turn the wheel, you can literally turn on a dime. Oh, that sounds great though. Yeah, it is great. For the sake of your lawns. You can drive but you're not engaging blades.

You have to go through the... Can you roll it? If you went on a hill you'd be crazy. Yeah, that's it. I just think it's too dangerous

to fledge. You can't roll a zero turn. Can we put a patch of oil on your driveway and do doughies? No. Fledge. I gave it a wash at doughies? No. Fletch. I gave it a wash at the end of it.

You washed it. You've got to wash it, mate. Oh, my God. You'd be mad not to. It's an investment. And then I backed it into the garage. Yeah. Did you kiss it goodnight?

Andy came out and she said, you really like this mower, don't you, Dad? And I said, I love it. And she said, more than us? I said, at the moment, yes. She was like, okay, but try not to tomorrow. I said, well, I don't know. I'm not making any guarantees. Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Shallow.

They've kind of become meme-worthy after that performance at the weekend. Megan was just saying that if Andy P was on stage with a musician looking at her with those eyes, she'd be livid. Oh, there would be a talking to. I don't know who I'd talk to first, the girl or the guy. I'd talk to them both. There's no way I'd let that happen. A strict talking to.

Are there actors and performers, Megan? Not in that. They're not acting there. They're just performing the song. No, absolutely not. They, like, cuddle each other. Uh-uh. Sing the song.

Be professional. I can see why you didn't let him do that music video alone. Yeah. Well, speaking of jealousy, there is a medical clinic in Illinois. Now, the note they taped onto the glass has gone viral. Read the note first. Go on. You'll know why.

Dr. Lou Pardis resigned. Lou Pard You'll know why. Dr. Lou Pardis resigned. Lou Pardis? Lou Pardis. That sounds like something a doctor would tell you you've got rather than the doctor's name. Lou Pardis. Hello, I'm Dr. Lou Pardis. I've got bad news.

You've got Lou Pardis. I mean, the chances of this are slim to none, but here we are. So the note says, Dr. Lou Pardis resigned from our office on Friday. The reason he resigned is because his wife would not allow him to work here since he hired a female nurse practitioner. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

He will not be returning to this office. What? So that note's from a female? It's from the reception staff. So they hired a female nurse and obviously his wife was just not happy about it. Well, I'm guessing she was a hot female nurse. That's, I mean... Nursing is dominated by females, isn't it?

I mean, I know there are male nurses, but it would be hard to, what, just hire all male nurses to please a doctor's wife. And you've got to have female nurses because there's some female patients that prefer to see a female nurse about things. But also from this photo, you can see other people working there. There's lots of females.

This one has been a particularly fine specimen. Must have been a hottie. I was trying to talk in like nurse talk. We're going to like, we need a stool specimen. I don't know, as a sample. What do they ask for a specimen of? Blood? No, that's the culture.

I don't know. A specimen. So basically, they'd hired a hot nurse. Yeah, so the person who posted it was like, this is so unprofessional of the practice and now that it's gone viral, everyone's like, no, it's unprofessional of the husband and the wife to demand that of him

to leave work. Do you think there's more to this? There's definitely more. There was some interaction between the doctor and the nurse, Shortland Street style. Like, was there a little bit of sexy flirtation or there was messages on her phone that she found?

I don't know if there needs to be. If you take it out of the doctor and nurse scenario and put it in any occupation, no wife's going to want her husband to keep working in a place with... The doctor and nurse scenario and put her in any occupation. Yeah. No wife's going to want her husband to keep working in a place with. Yeah, like Andy P and all the hotties at his work. When they did yoga. We went to Andy P's cafe the other day.

They are attractive. No. One of them left so I didn't have to tell him to quit. Even the guys. Even the guys who came good looking. Yeah, right. Okay. It's a good cafe. Right guys. Even the guys who came good looking. Yeah, right. Okay. It's a good cafe.

Right. Was it the Argentinian? Him or her. Was it Argentinian? Because there were two there. There were a guy and a girl. I thought they were... Which ones? I was feeling South American.

Okay. Okay, we're going to discuss this afterwards. I don't want to get anybody in trouble. You've got an Indian. You know what? You should be jealous

of is that bloody pizza oven I was most turned on by the pizza oven The main hottie's left So he didn't have to ask him to quit But now I've got another one Wait you didn't have to ask Oh Annie Pease the hem I'm like wait the hot guy

Anybody hot Not allowed near my husband You wouldn't ask Seriously ask Mr Toyboy to quit No but I would bitch and moan about it a lot Right Yeah I wouldn't directly ask Just hope that it happened seriously ask Mr Toyboy to quit No but I would bitch and moan about it a lot Right Yeah I wouldn't directly ask

Right Just hope that it happened No I'm joking But then he must he obviously has to deal with the fact that you work with us Yeah

That's pretty that's a hard pill to swallow but we were here first Yeah we were We were here first You can't be angry at your partner for hot friends they had

before you were with them eh No That's a rule Yeah They're not allowed partner for hot friends they had before you were with them, eh? That's a rule. They're not allowed to make hot friends after you get together. But hot friends previous. That's fine. You can't argue that. That's a treaty. Deal with it.

That's a UN convention. 1956, Treaty of somewhere hot Hawaii says that one cannot be angry at one's partner for hot friends acquired pre-romance. FEMC. Well the big news

last week producer Caitlin at the moment has met someone and we are just springing this on you Caitlin. Yeah. Cool.

Thanks guys. Well no we're helping you out. This is why we're talking about this. Um good. Okay. Top titles like when you said the other day Cool, thanks guys We're helping you out, this is why we're talking about this Good, okay Top titles, like when you said the other day that you had had a discussion to your exclusivity

with this person, meaning you're not seeing other people We were all like, oh right, so you're boyfriend and girlfriend He's not my boyfriend This is what she says And I'm like, what's the story? If you've discussed that you're exclusive, that's boyfriend and girlfriend.

No, it's the stage before boyfriend and girlfriend. There's stages. What's the next stage then? Boyfriend and girlfriend. Right. But then you're not sleeping with anyone else. You've both said you're not. Yeah.

You don't want anyone else. No. And you're very much all lovey-dovey, so why aren't you just boyfriend-girlfriend? No, because it's a stage, Fletch. You've got to go through the stages. You do need to hear them say the word, because otherwise when you introduce them,

you can't just be like, this is my boyfriend, because what if they're like, what? You know, like you need to have the actual... Oh, my God, how can I say this is my boyfriend? Because when you introduce them, say you... Oh, my God, how can I say this is my boyfriend? Because when you introduce him, say you... Oh, my God. But I'm not there yet because I've got... He needs to ask me.

Oh, my God. You could ask him. It's 2019. Yeah, to people... Yeah. I thought you've done this. You've had a conversation last week. No, but not a boyfriend-girlfriend conversation.

Is it a thing, though, still? I feel like people just... It just happens. It's happening now. Is that a thing, though, still? I feel like people just, it just happens. It's happening now. But you want it to happen, right? Yeah. It's something that you want. Well, I think...

We were the same, like, you're exclusive, and you know that for a while, because you just know. And then you've got to get to a point, in the end, I was just like, so, you're my boyfriend. How long had you been thinking that? Because this is what girls are like.

A while. He hasn't said it yet I wonder if he's going to ask me. It's like a pot on the stove with a lid on it. You hear it simmering and you're like and then all of a sudden

the lid's like overflowing. And it's hitting the elements. There's steam going everywhere. You've ruined the potatoes. Yeah. It's that. They wait, they wait, they simmer and then they boil over and they ask themselves. How did you have this conversation with Sade? going everywhere. You've ruined the potatoes. Yeah. It's that. They wait, they wait, they simmer,

and then they boil over and they ask themselves. How did, did you have this conversation with Sade? I think just after a few weeks, she's kind of like, what are we? Because my friends have said,

what are we? And I said, I grant you permission to tell people. What did you actually say? I grant you permission to tell people that I am indeed your boyfriend and she wept what did you what for you actually did was oh my god i can't believe this is happening yes we are no she said yeah

what are we and i said what do you mean and she said like what's going on here and okay and i said oh yeah we're just boyfriend and girlfriend, right? But the better story to tell is she said, is it all right if I tell my friends we're boyfriend and girlfriend? Because she hates me telling her story. Because it's kind of not what happened. But it makes for a good reaction even all these years later. 14 years later, I'll still get a von every time I tell that story.

Yeah. That's a good one that's a nerve right so you're waiting for him to say well yeah because I'm

guys I'm really trying not to be intense and I'm really trying not to stuff this up and how's that going no no I can see

she's like hey no this is how it's going down so she's like fully intense with us she's like oh my god

and then she goes and she's like fully intense with us. She's like, oh my God. And then she goes home and she's like, hey. Yeah, because you guys are like my friends. And then when I'm just like, whatever. He's like, I'm going out tonight with the boys. She's like, yeah, that's totally cool, babe. I'm all for it. And then she gets all the girl chat.

She's like, oh my God. Yeah. Okay. That hasn't happened Let's not tell people about that But you know It's chill, whatever That's how everyone is You totally chill in front of the partner

But you want them to ask you Yeah I would like to know And you can call us Is this a conversation that still happens? Do you have to have it? Do you have to have it? Or does it go without saying?

Or is it something that needs to happen? And why don't the guys do it? It seems like the girls are always the instigator. Because the guys don't want to, you've got your Tinder set up and stuff. You don't want to have to delete it and then start again in a week. I'm not sorry, he's on his own here. Islands in the stream. What about you, Anya?

Well, no. So we were flatmates and then just kind of started having cuddles. And then that just kind of like happened like every night for ages. And so I kind of like would have known if he was still, you know, gallivanting around. So, yeah, it wasn't until about two months in, and then he was like, so should we give this a nudge? Shall we give this a nudge?

And I was like, what? He's like, you know, this. I was like, all right. And then, yeah, I think I called him boyfriend after that. So it's the excitement of the different stages, though. Like you want, like there's not much excitement in our lives, guys. You need these little, like, little moments. But he didn't actually say, will you go out with me?

No, and that would have been really cute. What if he's still seeing other people? Yeah, you could be right three years later. I have no confirmation. He's got you on a technicality. You can be like, I thought we were exclusive. He's like, we never had that conversation. When I said, should we give this a nudge, I meant dinner.

The Chinese takeaway we just got. Okay, well 0800 dials at M9696. Is the boyfriend-girlfriend conversation relevant in 2019? Does it need to happen? Yeah, do you need to officially be asked? Do you think? Give us a call. Well, producer Caitlin has not officially had the

are we boyfriend, girlfriend talk yet. Have you heard from him since we've sprung this on you? Has he messaged? No. Okay, well, you're clear he might not be listening. He'll certainly hear about this later when Anya makes one of those video things. No, no.

No, that's not happening. So we're talking about if the title needs to be there, if the conversation needs to happen. Someone said, yes. In capital letters. Yes. I was seeing my now husband for about six months. We'd spent every night together, et cetera, et cetera.

After that six-month period, I boiled over, as you put it before, and screamed, when are you going to ask me to be your girlfriend? To his response being really calm, I thought you already were. That's the best part. When there's a boil over, a calm reply. Yeah. A calm reply. Sarah, when did you have the conversation?

What happened? Yes, so he came around my house. We'd been dating for about a month. Okay. And he said, hey, have you got your phone? Can I see your Facebook profile? And I was like, okay. And he scrolled down to the relationship status where it says single,

and he pointed at it, and he was like, I feel like changing that to in a relationship. Oh! And how did you like that? I thought it was a bit cringy, but it was cute, so I accepted. It's only cringy if you're not into it. And then it's cute if you're like, yeah. It's okay there, but not somebody. Did you see that video of people at their wedding

changing their relationship status at the front, like after they said their vows and everything? They got out their phones and... Cringy. Yeah, you might want to give them a heads up, but you don't want that. Hey, thanks for your call, Sarah. Kirstie, did your partner have the conversation with you?

Yeah, we sort of did. We were having a few drinks. to your Coursera. Kirsty, did your partner have the conversation with you? Yeah. We sort of did. We were having a few drinks. He's being a bit of an egg, so I tried to catch him off guard and he dropped down on one knee and asked me to be his girlfriend. Oh, that's pretty cute.

Like a proposal. How long had you been going out for or kind of seeing each other? About six-ish months. Wow, that sounds like a long time to not really be sure. Oh, I was pretty sure. Like, we didn't need to really have the conversation. He was just mucking around.

But again, he's... You got it. You got it. That's a legally binding agreement. And he's bought an extra six months with a two-year relationship. Is it legally binding if he's had drinks, though? Get it again. Depending on his level of incapacitation.

Get it again. Hey, Kirsty, thanks for your call. Kelsey, did you and your partner have a conversation? It took a while. We've been together coming up eight years, and we still haven't officially had that conversation. What? Are you engaged?

No, but we are having a baby. All right, okay. And so how long did it take you to say, we're boyfriend, girlfriend? Yeah, that never happened. Wait, so what do you... It never actually happened. Did you ever refer to him as your boyfriend

or have you only ever said his name? Yeah, well, yeah, no, I do now. But for the first little while, we were long distance for a few years. So our friends would be like, oh, where are you going? And we'd be like, oh, just to see a friend, and everyone knew that we were together, but we just never put a title on it.

Wow. Casual. I like it. Yeah. Laid back. Kelsey, thanks. You called some texts. Somebody said, Caitlin, you're a glorious goddess and this boy's lucky to have you. Stop playing small 2019. See, you tell him what you are. Glorious.

You don't want to come up in tents. Stop it. Thank you so much. You're saying how you don't want to come up in tents, eh? So don't be like, tell him what you are. Slam open the door and be like, I am your girlfriend. Maybe come in a bit faster. To some Beyonce.

Yeah. Okay. I'll try it. I'll let you know how it goes. You could ask him. Now, Mama Jane's coming up this weekend. No, next weekend. Is your mum meeting him next weekend?

Yes. It's got to happen before then. For the first time. Guys, you're putting too much pressure on that. Your mum's going to stomp right into it. What would you introduce him as? Oh, I always feel like this is... Insert name here.

You almost said his name. I was going to cut you off. Insert name here. Okay. Right. She'll be like, what are you? What's happening here? You know mums always do name. I was going to cut you off. Insert name here. Okay. Right. She'll be like, what are you? What's happening here? You know mums always do that.

What's going on here? What do we tell people back home that you've got going on here? Well, as you've heard, Caitlin, there's no rush. Thank you. But also there is a rush. There is a rush. You've heard of the whole spectrum of this. FVM, the podcast.

Joined in studio right now by special guest, shall we say spokeswoman, model, social influencer, Jess Quinn. Good morning. Good morning. So you've done a TED Talk. It's called Why Are We Chasing an Unbelievable Idea of Perfection? Yeah, so my TED Talk came from my own experiences with body image and just how we're all trying to, I guess, trying to go after

this unrealistic perfection. And it's in the media, it's everywhere and people are falling for it. And I just wanted to break that down. And with my own experiences going through what I did as a kid, I kind of had this different perspective on body love because I had to kind of force myself to, I guess, love the body that I had after kind of the changes that I went through. And yeah, so I decided I got asked to do a TEDx talk and I thought let's give this a go and you have to pick a topic so that was my topic and it was the end of last year after I'd done my TED talk I did it in October and I was like there's no point just saying like let's get a law passed I may as well be the person to bring it into play so I chatted to my manager who messaged Jacinda Ardern and she

said to get a petition sorted. So that's what I did. So the idea is if there was like a billboard or a magazine or anything and there's been photoshopped to it, there should be what, like a symbol or a disclaimer? Yeah, exactly that. Right. Were you photoshopped without permission? Yeah, it was without permission. But then taking ownership of myself, I also didn't say, hey, can you not photoshop my images? ownership of myself, I also didn't say, hey, can you not Photoshop my images? But that's because I honestly didn't know that the store went on. I thought people used to Photoshop back in the day, you know, in 2018 at the time. Now, you know, it's a change time.

But yeah, it was subtle. Like when I first got the magazine, I was like, oh, that's me. That's cool. And then I got sent the untouched images accidentally. And I was like, oh, wow, I look a little bit different. And they weren't crazy changes. But, you know, I'm sitting on a chair and I'm wearing gym clothes and a crop top and the leggings dug into my skin as they do. Even if you had zero percent body fat, it's going to dig in somewhere.

And that was very flush in the Photoshop version. So it's all these little changes that someone's going to look at that and be like, oh, damn, that doesn't happen to me when I sit like that. You know, my stomach hangs over my pants thus setting an unhealthy expectation as well as an unrealistic super unhealthy i really respect you for that because if i if i'm being honest and i've been seeing those two images i would have been like yes i mean that looks better one looks better do you know what i mean it takes a lot to to speak out about it and honestly i did look better in that one, but that's where this conversation starts.

So what's next? The petition carries on. Yeah, that's the goal. I'm nearly at 5,000 signatures now. I think I need 10 before it hopefully goes to Parliament. And then, yeah, we just keep going with it, really. But for me, it's bigger than a law. It's about this conversation, and I want to keep having just keep going with it really. But for me, it's bigger than a law. It's about this conversation

and I want to keep having that conversation as much as possible. Have you come across anybody that's put a block to it? Yeah, so there are people who are going to argue and then some people do argue. They're like, oh, but I prefer it when my images Photoshop, you know, people in the media and stuff. And I'm like, that's fine,

but it's not really healthy for the young people coming through. Yeah, I mean, young people probably saw this awful photo of me with white straight teeth and a not shiny forehead that you can see in Australia. And, I mean, they did all this work on me. They didn't take the crow's feet out of the corner of my eyes. I mean, if I could have sat down with them for five minutes, we could have prioritised.

The bed's definitely had some sort of colour put through it, so it's a bit more consistent. There's been a lot of work done on all of us. I know. A lot of work. It's weird once you start noticing it, you're like, I'm very smooth. It's weird when you look worse after Photoshop.

What does that say about you? So what about taking it back a step? You said you had to come to terms with your body after you went through changes as young. For people who don't know, you lost your leg in a cancer battle. You won the battle. How did you, you said you had to learn to love your body. What about for people who, like you say, prefer the Photoshop

because it makes them what they're happy with. What some like basic tips for just taking it back a level and learning to love what you've got yeah for me I it was a really a really tough period because I was also coming into my teens and we all kind of struggle with with that kind of stuff at that age um but for me I the way I learned to love my body was that I learned to love it for what it achieved me to do you know I had this really weird looking leg but I wouldn't have been here if I didn't have it. You know, and also I was able to learn to run again and I was able to do all these things. So I put my focus into understanding what my body could do and to push my limits in that area, not just what my body looked like. Because, you know, and through that I found my confidence and I found that when I was confident about my leg I started wearing shorts which I didn't do for about eight years and I realized you know people are still going

to stare regardless but it's not in a malicious way and if I was confident within myself then that was kind of the best the best outcome and that's all that really matters is if you're happy within yourself and I think this body love conversation is getting I don't want to say toxic but kind of toxic in the sense that, you know, people put out these, oh, I love my body, you know, images on Instagram because they kind of go somewhat viral or they get a lot of attention and people get this instant gratification from that. But then, you know, I did a post recently and I was like,

make sure after you do that post that when you step away, you look in the mirror, you still say those things. That's awesome advice. Yeah. Thanks. So profound. I know. You should do a TED Talk.

Yeah. Thanks. So profound. I know. You should do a TED talk. Yeah. So where can people find and sign the petition? I've got a link through my Instagram. It's kind of the easiest way to just direct through there. It is on the Parliament website, but it's quite hard to navigate. No one goes there. No one goes there.

I've never been to the Parliament website. Do they have one? I know, I didn't know they had one. How cute. What are they? Parliament dot... I think, yeah, and I think there's a... I don't actually know how to direct you there.

Dot gov. Dot gov. Dot nz. Wait a minute. It's a lot faster to go through Instagram. And what's your Instagram? Jessica Emily Quinn

is my Instagram. Are we just Googling? You can probably do this in your own time, I think. Two N's on Quinn. Yes. Jessica, Emily, standard spelling. Standard.

Quinn, like Dr. Quinn, medicine woman. Yes. Here we go. Oh, you've got 186,000 followers. Yeah. Have you heard of HelloFresh? Shut your face. Okay.

We're all having a bloody laugh. We're all having a bloody laugh. We're all having a laugh. Jess, I really appreciate you coming in. I think you've got a really important message. Yeah, if you want to sign the petition, go to Jess's Instagram and give her a follow too. Thank you.

Thanks for coming in. Thanks, guys. Fletch, Vaughn follow too. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. Thanks, guys. Fletch. Vaughn. And Megan. The podcast. Damn. Oh, guys.

There's a wheel whoops-a-daisies from Andy Murray. This is quite funny. So he actually, I don't even know what he was, oh, he was getting a hip resurfacing procedure. Oh, my God. Him and me. Is it the same thing? Rhys, no.

But like, sometimes you have to like, if you get like a labral tear or something, you could get like a, that might be what it is. Because they said there's steel. I heard the thing that they put a bit of steel in. So what part of the hip is that going into? Is that like the top of the big bone? I don't know. I'm out.

The ball part. Oh, and then other people commenting saying it was a hip replacement. I don't think. People just, when you have surgery on your hip, everyone's like, hip replacement. Yeah. It's often not the case. Well, that's what most people think of, isn't it? Yeah.

Because Nan or Mum might get one. Yeah. Yep. So anyway, he's been through this procedure and I'm not sure why, but he posted a picture of himself. There was one in a hospital gown with the tube out of his arm. Mm-hmm. And also a copy of his x-ray

I'm out of the clinic It's all done He looks happy He looks groggy But he looks happy Is this on his Instagram? Yeah How many people

At Andy underscore Murray Heaps I'm going to have a look World renowned as tennis' most boring character Andy Murray, Scotsman. Oh, don't say that. So just years of tennis kind of wore it down, is that right? Also, just, yeah.

And tell me if he's still got a post up. He's got 1.6 million followers. Right. So bear that in mind. Is the post still there? Oh, the bloody Wi-Fi's. Yeah, it's still there. Okay.

Still there. There's the X-ray. I can say, oh God, I just saw it again. I saw it again. Oh God. So he posted the X-ray. I can say, oh, God, I just saw it again. I saw it again. Oh, God. So he posted the X-ray. Didn't think anything of it. Now, this at this stage has had 260,000 likes.

That's pretty good for someone with one million followers. That's the fifth. It's been up in 11 hours. Okay. Yeah. So this is the problem. Blake posted in his hospital bed and the X-ray. And that's when the comments started coming.

And one person said, hey, Andy Murray, x-rays don't just show bones, my friend. No pun intended. Please rethink your Insta post. Because an x-ray, when you take it, it's a levelling thing. And it's the density of the bone is the part that shows up. And it can show all the different levels. If you look close enough, sometimes you can see a bit of poo

and different things. Someone else said, I wonder if anyone realised you could see Andy Murray's twig and giggle berries on the hip replacement x-ray. You can see Andy Murray's

left landing penis. Yeah, a lot of comments. The one with the most is from Jaquina B. Jaquina B. She says, you need to delete the second photo.

Sincerely, all of us who can read X-rays and notice a certain eggplant emoji. Yeah. Some were discreet and some are less so. Ha ha, you can see the top of it. But if it's like 11 hours and he was groggy after surgery, he might have just been having a big sleep. He might have slept through his entire scandal.

Yeah. And then he wakes up. To be fair, it's the bottom of the x-ray and it's the other side of the one that's been worked on. So he would have literally just looked at the replacement thing and been like, oh yeah, there it is. Because it's quite faint.

They would have flopped his hand out of the way so they could work on that hip. But you're telling me that people that work in the x-ray department, when they take x-rays of people, can see your penis. I had no idea. No idea. Well, not if they're x-raying your wrist, but yeah.

Yeah. If they're x-raying that area. No, I mean, it's not like a hot nude or anything. It's kind of weird and it's just the shape of the outline. I know it's not a hot nude, but if you were like, you know. Imagine if we found out they had a setting. So they clink and they take the radiologist clink and they take the photo

after wearing their lead vest. That makes me nervous because why don't I have one of those? Exactly. And then they're like, oh, yep, cool. All done. And then you sneak around and you have your quick look and there's four photos and they're like, one's just of you clothed, one's of you like perfectly naked

and then it gets down to like the bone and organ level. Yeah, right. And they're like, oh, you're not supposed to see this, it's a radiologist secret, we have four depth levels. I don't know if that, but you remember when they were doing the x-rays at the airport they had to develop the software to blur out junk. Yeah. Because, you know, you're working in the airport screening, that'd be a

great part of the job, wouldn't it? Yeah. Some, I'd imagine. And I mean, you're leaving a big blind spot there. You can put a bomb up your penis and they'll never spot it because it'll just blur it out of the back. It'd be a tiny bomb. Seriously, though, Megan, if there was a hot guy and you x-rayed him. But, Fletch, you know the answer. That's why I can't be like a radiologist.

Oh, I thought you were going to say, Fletch, you know the answer. If you're going to be a medical professional, you sign an oath. Not everybody's as perverted as you, but instead you just joined him in the filth. Caitlin, if you were X-raying and it was a hot guy and you saw... There's so much to get through. Speaking on behalf of radiologists,

they've got 10 people in the waiting room that are getting shitty for waiting. Enjoy the ones that are hot. Fletch, I'm seeing someone now, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask me that. Okay, if I was asking you. I 100% would. Okay, yeah.

Obviously. Well, I appreciate the honesty. Thank you. You're all being struck off. I'm taking this to the imaginary radiologist meeting. I'll have all of your badges And your guns We don't have guns I'll have all your x-ray clickers

And your lead vests And that Instagram again is Andy underscore Murray Is it impressive though? Like We can all see it but is it like Yeah, stoked for you Andy Murray Or is it just like Well he's just in a hospital bed

Like it's Yeah I don't know Yeah and like he's probably A bit druggy So it's a Yeah He's pretty a bit druggy If I ever get

He's so drugged Yeah right Okay fair call But woozy probably So if I ever get a hip extra And now that I know this I'm definitely warming it up A little bit

I thought you were going to say Put some tinfoil on it That'll kick you out of it That would be even thought you were going to say put some tinfoil on it. That would kick you out of it. That would be even weirder, wrapping it in tinfoil like it's a kebab. And a little bit of lettuce pops out. What end do I open it from? I don't want to open the wrong end and it all spills out. It's always messy.

I'm wrapping it like a kebab. Jesus. Would that even work? Yeah, it'd show up in his lady's center. It'd be like a beacon. If you X-ray tinfoil her and you knob it, it'd be like, boom. Fact of the day. You could just take that tinfoil off your penis and we'll go again, Mr. Smith.

Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is at the moment in America, it is in some places colder in North America than it is on Mars. And Mars is way further away from the sun than we are. That's crazy. Yeah. Have you done the average? And they have no atmosphere. Well, the last reported weather from Mars, that was the little robot.

The robot's at the end of the news. He comes on and does the five minutes of what's happening in Mars. So the high on Mars was negative seven degrees. Right. And yesterday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in North America, the high for the day, the high was negative 15 degrees. As warm as it got yesterday in Minneapolis was negative 15 degrees. But the last weather report we had from Mars, negative 7 was the high.

So it's warmer on Mars than it is in North America in some spots. And Canada. Canada is crazy cold at the moment. I just Googled here. It can reach up to 20 degrees on Mars. Yeah, because it's got no atmosphere. So I think it fluctuates. Right.

Yeah, and it can be as cold as minus 153 degrees Celsius. But you never really think about it because Mars doesn't have snow. And that's kind of what we associate cold with, right? Like ice or snow. Yeah. Huh. Yeah, why doesn't it? Because there's no water on it.

Well, there might be water. That's kind of what they're all... Every six months someone at NASA gets real jazzed about the fact that they might have found a puddle or an old lake or something. And they're like, I told you, I told you! We'll just wait and see what the diggy machine says. And then, yeah, everyone gets really excited. So, yeah, yesterday that was...

You're reading a book about Mars, aren't you? I am. How's this? It's a bit of sci-fi from that side of the desk. You were in sci-fi, but I didn't know that it was sci-fi. How do you know it's sci-fi? What's this book about? Science fiction. So, the NASA's building, like, a centre on Mars for them to go to but instead of like

wasting proper astronauts they've got like cons that have been sentenced to life. So they send the cons up. Kind of like the movie Armageddon. Cross between Armageddon and Con Air. Yeah. So they've sent these cons up

who have done varying degrees of terrible things and people have started dying but I don't know whether it's I think they're being sabotaged. I think one of them's killing them off. Oh, God. They didn't take a murderer, did they?

Yeah. There's multiple murderers. These people have life distances. Take white collar fraudsters. Yeah. If you're going to send criminals to Mars. No, they get a soft ride. These death row mates will give it a go at least.

But they are talking about how cold it is and if they go outside without proper... Basically, the book you're describing is the space version of Australia. Yeah, okay. We've got this place down there. It's pretty far away and it's pretty hard out. We don't want to waste real people,

so we're going to fill it with criminals. Yeah. And now look, a couple of hundred years later, what a bloody turn for the books. We read from you, though. Yeah. Are you going to report back to the book club? I like murdery, like stabby ones.

Yeah, science fiction. Because it's science sci-fi, science fiction. But it's murdery. It's not happened, but it's science-based. I will report to the book club. Okay. Sounds like an interesting book. So today's fact of the day is in Canada and parts of the US.

At the moment, it's colder than it is on Mars. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Snapchat are looking at changing everything we know about them, all in the name of advertising, it seems. So the disappearing message might not actually disappear. So this is only, before you panic, because Fletch is like, what? I wasn't. Historically, asking for a friend.

Can they go back in? Can they see those photos? So this is for anything you put to our stories won't disappear, but anything that's private. Like messages, like, yeah. Will be unaffected, so they will disappear as normal. So they're looking at making our stories available forever so that publishers can, I guess, advertisers, can keep their advertisements there.

What do you think Evan, what's his name, Spiegel, Spiegel, Evan Spiegel, who's started this, ever regrets not selling to Facebook for all those billions of dollars?

I think so. Because I don't use Snapchat anymore. You do. For nefarious purposes. Because you're a deviant. No, I still chat to friends on Snapchat. I still feel a lot of people use it, but less than, say, two years ago. I forget about it, and then I'll be like, oh.

And I open it for the first time in a week, and there's like... Heaps of snaps. Yeah, all these messages. But I don't bother posting on store. I just use Instagram now for that. I have Googled some stats, just as you mentioned that, because I was like, I wonder who is still using it. The latest I can find, these were stats from September last year.

Right. The average monthly users in September last year, 300 million. Oh, they were doing all right. That's total, yet daily active users, so people using it every day, 188 million. The number of snaps created every day in September last year, 3 billion a day. So people are still using it.

And really using it. How many people did you say were using it every day? 188 million. So they're sending at least like 10. Do you know a lot of them though are in America and Canada? In America, Canada, 100 million of those. The number of daily video views, 10 billion. Does it have monthly active users?

Because I've just got an Instagram stat for how many active. Right. So 71% of Snapchat users are under 34 years of age and 70% of Snapchat users are female. Wow. That's interesting, eh? Go back to the first thing you had, because I'm pretty sure that was monthly

active users. So, total number of monthly active users, 300 million. That was in September last year on Snapchat. Cute. One billion for Instagram. Wow. Wow. I mean, a lot of us don't have big regrets, eh? But if one of your big

regrets before you died was missing out on a few billion dollars when Facebook offered to buy your company, you'd be like, yeah, that's a big one. I'd be okay with it because isn't he still dating Miranda Kerr? Married to. And married to. Yeah. But then, like, if she was like, it's over and on the divorce papers cited not selling to Martin Silverberg

for $23 billion, I'd be like, okay, now I, yeah. Yeah, I regret that.
