This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, thanks to Spark. You can stay connected with free Wi-Fi a gig a day on the $19 Spark prepaid rollover pack. Enjoy. Thanks, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. This caving thing with the Thai football team. That's crazy. I honestly didn't think, I thought they were going to be dead. I know. Yeah. Because it had been how many days? Nine days.

Yeah, nine, ten days. Yeah. And they're like, oh, found them. I was like, what? Because they had a team come over from the UK. Did you read about this? Like a specialist diving rescue team. Right. That rescue people, I guess in the UK. They've done it before all over the

world. Yes. They must just fly out. They wear like all the equipment. Like sea diving. Madness. I hate diving. I hate caves. We did it on a school camp

and you had to squeeze through this little, and I was a real fat school kid. Me too. And then like the skinnier ones go before you and you're like,

there's no way. You've got to suck in the fat and push it through. It's yuck. I wanted to. You're like, there's no way. You've got to suck in the fat and push it through. It's yuck. I want to do... You're like, this is how I die. Really degrading way to die. Yeah.

Pushing yourself through, thumbing yourself through the... The tight cave hole. Up and in the softy. Head through. But I want to do blackwater rafting and stuff, but nothing about going in a cave. Bears, for a start, have they not sung this song about going on a bear hunt? The bear's always in the cave at the end.

Get out of the cave. Waiting for the blackwater rafters. Have we seen a cross-section of this cave? No. I would love to see, you know, you see a cross-section that shows you how far down it goes and how far in they were. Because how do they get in? They can't get out unless they scuba, they dive out. But they can't dive because they're kids. And they're not qualified.

Now they're going to have to do a paddy dive course. In the cave. While they're all hungry and in the cave below ground. Correct. And then they have to get up their dive hours. But none of them can swim because they're like 10-year-olds. Yeah. How did they get there? Madness. Also, what have they been eating for nine days can swim because they're like 10-year-olds. Yeah. How did they get there?

Madness. Also, what have they been eating for nine days? Well, they're nothing. They're very hungry. That's the first thing they said to rescuers when they reached them. Food, food. We need food. Yeah.

So I guess they're going to feed them up. And the rescuers are like, oh, I didn't bring... I've got a muesli bar tucked in my wetsuit. That's it. I can have a suck on my oxygen tank if you want. It's not very filling, but... Crazy, but they're alive, so I guess that's the good news. Wow.

I'm going to find a cave cross-section if it kills me. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Three news headlines for three news stories from around the world. Vaughan and Megan pick one headline, and the others are deleted forever, and you're not allowed to Google. That's another one of the rules of story time.

Headline one, new technology ahead of 4th of July celebrations. Headline two, till death do you moose. Moose? Yep. Okay. Till death do you moose. Yeah, and then headline three. It's not even like a close pun to death do youose. Yep. Okay. To death do you moose? Yeah, and then headline three. It's not even like a close pun to death do you part.

No. No, it's like an interruption of death do you. Oh, so the moose interrupted the wedding? Sure. Oh, I would have thought a cow interrupted the wedding. Like multiple cows. Multiple moose. I don't know.

I don't even know if the person writing this headline knows what sound a moose makes. Yeah, because I thought it was more of a roar, more of a... Like a...

That doesn't work as well for the headline, does it? No, it took death deep. Miracle at sea, man swaps cruise ships. Oh. Man swaps cruise ships. Oh. Man swaps cruise ships. What was story number one again?

New technology ahead of 4th of July celebrations. Fire. New technology for fireworks? Yeah, what day is it today? It's the 4th here, so that means tomorrow's the 4th of July. I'm most excited about it because all the barbecue pages they follow in America are really putting on some meaty delights. 4th of July and Super Bowl is yours.

Yeah, yeah. Meat. The meat mecca for those two. Goodness me. Story one then? Yeah. Okay. We'll do that one.

Go on. We go now to Florida. Yes. Ahead of the 4th of July, where police are warning people not to shoot guns in the air. Now, did I read that fireworks are illegal in Florida? Are they? Can you believe that?

Fireworks are illegal in Florida. You can have a gator in your backyard in an AK-47 that you can buy without a check. But don't shoot pretty sparkly things in the sky, for God's sake. No, maybe because it's always so hot down there, everything catches on fire. No, but it's wet too. Yeah, it's a very soggy

place. Yeah, I don't know. That's what makes it so attractive to those pre-mentioned crocodiles. Well, police are warning partygoers this year not to fire guns into the air, reminding them of Janice Kent and her husband, who woke up last year in their trailer in their Fort Myers mobile home to a bullet coming through the roof of their mobile home.

Well, that's the thing, isn't it? What goes up must come down. Yes. The bullet could have been a few inches in a different direction and it would have hit either of them in the head, police say. And this is quite a common thing. Because, yeah, exactly like you say, what goes up must come down.

Shoot the bullet up. Well, they did it on Mythbusters. She's a pretty loose... When the bullet hits the ground it's absolutely rocketing. What did they do on Mythbusters? They went to the salt flats and shot a... Because they wanted to look into this myth where someone shot a

gun in the air and it went up and came down and killed the same person. Right. But you'd have to find that at an angle. Yeah. So that it took into account... For the rotation and the wind and everything. So they went to the salt flats on a very still day and shot it up and then they found it.

Yeah, and the impact, it was motoring when it came back down. Right. And how far away was it from where they owned it? Pretty far away. You have to Google that. How high would it? It would go so high. Really high, yeah.

Wow. And then just arches over and comes back down. Well, police, as well as reminding people of the 4th of July celebrations and not to fire guns in the air, are launching some new technology in this area that allow officers to zero in on gunshots faster. The new technology has the ability to triangulate noise from a gunshot and pinpoint the specific area it comes from.

How crazy is that? Wow. Wow. I mean, they could use some of that gun technology to stop people killing each other too. You would think so, yeah. With bullets just going from gun to person rather than to the atmosphere and back down. Not going to help as well if the person's driving away or leaves where they shot the gun from. If you are going to shoot your gun in the air, please remain perfectly still until you are arrested.

This 4th of July celebration. That would be lovely. I've got good news for coffee drinkers. You can remain perfectly still until you're arrested. Yeah. That'd be lovely. This 4th of July celebration. That'd be lovely. F.E.M. I've got good news for coffee drinkers. And this is coffee drinkers who have two to three cups per day. Oh, that's me. Me. I.

Not me. I drink tea mostly. But there is something about coffee that is supposed to be pretty good for you. Now, this is a massive study that's been done. Half a million people in England, Scotland, and Wales, and they ranged in age from 38 to 73. How'd they find coffee drinkers there? They would drink tea like you.

Yeah, I don't know. But they found that people who drank two to three cups a day had a 12% lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. We're going to death. Just like you were more likely to say you were less likely to walk out onto the traffic. Well, I don't think if you were hit by a car, they'd count that as a death.

Well, that is a death. Just before you die, how many coffees did you have today? None. Perfect. Thank you. So, what's interesting about this too is it counted people who drank decaf. Even decaf coffee. Oh, okay.

I don't see the point of that. I have never tasted decaf coffee. But it just tastes like coffee, doesn't it? But without the whatever keeps you awake. The caffeine. Yeah, the only thing is if you really were addicted and it was late at night and you wanted a coffee maybe. Right.

Or if you were pregnant and you wanted a coffee. Right. But so they found that it's actually the coffee bean itself has nutrients and phytochemicals that are really good for you, including lignans, quinides and magnesium. Right. I don't know. And magnesium. Magnesium. Right. I don't know. Something else. Magnesium.

Which may help reduce insulin resistance and inflammation. So there's good stuff in the actual coffee bean. Right. So even when it is decaf, you're getting the nutrients and stuff out of it. And we're living longer. But isn't it funny? Like you get it, you dry it in the sun, you roast it, you grind it, you put water through it and then you finally drink it but they're like, oh no, there's still good stuff in there. It's there.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's such a process. You're losing so much of it, aren't you? What do they do to take the caffeine out? I know, I've always wondered that. How do they do that? Do they make a special bean that's like

no caffeine in it? How do they do that? Like, do they make a special bean that's like no caffeine in it? No, no. What do they do? I know. It's a post-bean growing process. They're steamed for 30 minutes in order to open their pores. Once the coffee beans are... No, that's how you get pimples.

What? I don't want my coffee bean having pimples. Steam in the shower. It's decaffeinated, but also pimply. Yeah, they rinse them and stuff for 10 hours and it removes the caffeine. So it does taste awful. Okay, so they're rinsing out the caffeine.

Imagine how sweet that caffeine water would be. Yeah, just drink that. Yum, yum. And that's how they make no-dose tablets. Dunedin grandfather has been told that the treehouse in his backyard has got to come down. There's been complaints from the neighbours that this, what they describe as a humble backyard treehouse, needs to be removed from the tree in their backyard as it's in no way safe or there are no permits.

Right. I mean, this is bureaucracy gone absolutely bloody bananas. Do you have to have a permit for your treehouse? Well, it's like a decking. If you're going to build a decking and someone could fall off the side of that decking and fall more than a metre or a metre and a half, you have to get a permit to build it.

But no one gets a permit, do they? Well, not in the good old days when kids fell out of trees and broke their necks, Megan. But, I mean, how does it look? Structurally safe? No, it looks raggedy-ass. But, I mean, we all grew up with a granddad

who was a little overzealous when it came to promising a tree hut and then having to deliver on it. It's not going to... But like you say, you can fall out of that, but you're not going to... The tree hut's not going to fall out of the tree, is it? No, no, the tree's not going to fall out of it. Yeah. Just think, God, we hauled, you know, pallets.

Yeah. You see them around. Yeah. People recycle them, upcycle them and stuff. We had one of those once. Dad had one. He got some fertilizer on it. And we used a rope and we slung the rope over the tree and hauled

one of those up into a tree and secured it with two nails. Oh, wow. Safe. And then that was our treehouse on the flimsiest branch. Did you not even have signs in the roof? No, God, no. God, no. My cousin Marcus, he had a beautiful treehouse.

Two-story, walls, roof. Yep. Ladder in between the layers. Yep. But did he have a permit? No permit. No? No permit. No permit. It'll have to be taken right down. Because yours was loose. You know you drive sometime in

some suburbs and you see some real flash ones. They look like ooh la la like Masterbuilt ones. Like a genuine home. Now they're like $650,000 like entry level homes. You move your family into one of those. No off-street parking, unfortunately.

Yeah, probably more space. And no power or running water. But, I mean, you're on the property market now. That's what's important. Well, you're above the property market. You're kind of precariously floating two to three metres above the property market. And the insulation's probably the same as your standard house. Yeah, it is.

It is. The windows aren't double-glazed, but heck, biggest can't be choosers. Get on in there. The landlord's an eight-year-old, but unreasonable prick. Wants to be paid in chocolate predominantly. Yeah. And doesn't give you a 48 hours notice.

Before eviction or before an inspection. Before an inspection. Oh, like moments notice for an inspection. Just turns up demanding chocolate. Yeah, and for you to hide them under a blanket because your mum and dad are looking for them and they're doing something naughty.

I didn't know that this was a thing, but in flights, there is a system called ACARS, which is like a digital text kind of thing when airplanes don't have Wi-Fi. Well, they're in the middle of the ocean, aren't they? This is how they communicate with the ground. Yeah, so if you need to know something from the ground, you can request an ACARS.

Right. Now, it's not often used for serious things. It's often used for, like, if cabin crew want to know sports reports or things like that. But it's normally used for serious things. Well, yeah, I guess. But how often do serious things happen? You more often use it for sports reports.

Would this be on its way out given airplanes? Airplanes? Aeroplanes. Well, I don't know, Vaughn. Like three years ago, that airplane vanished off the face of the planet and we don't know where that is. No, but I mean, now that they're getting Wi-Fi on board and you could just thoroughly...

Yeah, well, it says this is for planes that don't have Wi-Fi. Have you ever used Wi-Fi on a plane? It's awful. Don't even bother. Yeah, but I feel like the cabin crew get a better quality Wi-Fi. Yeah, I think. They get admin. Like, we get 3G and they get 5G.

Yeah, they get on the admin. You will get 2G. Right. You get 1.5G. So, this was used on an Air New Zealand flight recently. And the reason we know is that you get printed a little receipt. So when you request an ACARS, they send it back and you get a little receipt with the information you wanted. So this receipt has been shared.

So someone on an Air New Zealand flight had requested some information. Now this ACARS little text message receipt says, crew message. Hi, Peter, Luke and Darren. Please pass this A-Cars onto Ben Wattman. Right. As requested, oh, I hope,

is this going to be a spoiler? Oh yeah, don't, I don't know if it's possibly spoilerish, don't. Well, what for a TV show? For RuPaul's Drag Race. Oh yeah, don't spoil that for people, they'll stab you.

So I'm about to tell you who won. No, people have seen it. People have seen it. People have seen it. As requested, the winner for RuPaul's Drag Race 2018 is... Aquaria. Say flight home. Thanks. Branded in crew control.

Wow, brilliant. So yeah, they can request anything they want. So who would a pilot want to know who won RuPaul. Well, one of the cabin crews. Why would you spoil it for yourself? Well, no, because you'd land and everyone's posting it on Facebook anyway. So you may as well just ask and find out and then watch it when you get home. Oh, I'd just leave my phone on flight mode until I got home.

Or is it not so much about who wins RuPaul, it's about the journey? Yeah. For sure. It is. I don't know, I've not watched any who wins RuPaul, it's about the journey? Yeah. For sure. It is. I've not watched any of the RuPaul drag race. You still have to go back and watch the performances. 100. Oh, right.

So you're saying you might know who won, but let's see the performance that got them there. The journey that got them there. Yeah, yeah. Right, okay. So if you wondered what they're doing in the cockpit. So they could actually, you could ask them if you wanted to know a football game or like the All Blacks are playing. You could ask for the result.

They could probably find out for you. Yeah, they use the little ACARS messaging system. I've been on some long flights when like, I think the All Blacks have played or some World Cup was happening. And they do an announcement, but then some people aren't happy. They don't want to hear it. I know. They don't want to hear.

They say no. Because they want to watch it when they land. And you can't like turn it off because if you've got headphones in, it blocks it. Yeah, I think when I was on there and there was a sports game, it might have been when we were in the Football World Cup. Right. They wanted to give an update.

They said, oh, if you block your ears, if you don't want to hear what's happened. Right. But then they give the result and everyone applauds and claps. Oh, yeah, yeah. You'll be able to work it out, won't you? The Top Six with Vaughn Smith. Hello there.

Hello. Hello. Hello, dear. The Great Kiwi Bake Off is coming. This is the Great British Bake Off, except it's happening here. The British go crazy for this show. This wasn't the final of it. The most watched

non-sporting event in British TV history one year. And there's been some serious dramas, haven't there? Huge dramas. What was that drama last time? There was a massive contentious issue, but I just love Mary Berry. Mary Berry's on there.

She's the host, right? I think I love her so much because she reminds me so much of my nana. Even the way she's like when she holds a spoon, because she's old, I think she's got arthritis in her joints and it always just reminds me of my nana's hands when she's like mixing. And my nana was a wonderful baker, so it always, I think

that's why I like Mary Berry so much. Now it started with a contestant, Diana, removing Ian's baked Alaska from the freezer while it was setting. That's what it was. That's what it was. That's right, because it was taking up too much room. Yeah. I've never nailed a baked Alaska.

I've tried twice. Both times it's melted. Because you cover it in a meringue. You cover an ice cream in meringue and then you bake it, which sounds madness, but if it's on a wooden block, the ice cream doesn't melt. Well, Ian wasn't impressed, but then Diana said, well, you've got your own freezer.

And then, of course, his baked Alaska scream. That's just one of her gifts. That's a sloppy mess. He pulled a sloppy mess. Ian. But also, that's on Ian. So then Ian threw the cake in the bin. But Ian had it in a metal tin

and that would conduct heat. And also, during the baking process. Ian had his own freezer. And he stormed off up the hill. It sounds ridiculous, but the nation was divided and upset over this.

And I hope this kind of thing comes to this country. In spite of a generation of bakers in Britain as well. So the Great Kiwi Bake Off is coming. Madeleine Sami is going to be hosting it. So today's top six is the top six things we're likely to see in the Great Kiwi Bake Off. Number six, a rubbery sponge cake fail.

Yeah. Sponges. Which will then be totally soaked in booze then turned into a trifle. Yes. It's a good way of... Waste not long enough. Waste not long enough. ...fueling a sponge.

Is that how the trifle came about? Probably. As a way of using leftover sponge cake? Because sponge cake goes... Fresh sponge cake. Can't be bad. Mmm. Delish.

Put a fresh cream on there, whip it up. Aren't you supposed to let it go like a little bit stale, the sponge cake, when you use it for a trifle? For a trifle, yeah. Because otherwise it falls to bits when you're soaking it. Mmm. Yeah, but maybe that's the origins of the trifle as a dessert.

Yeah. Using the leftover booze and sponge cake. Number five on the list of the top six items we're likely to see in the Great Kiwi Bake Off is a rock hard brandy snap. So hard, someone breaks a tooth on it.

I love brandy snaps. Too hard, though. Yeah, they're... Those things are savage. Now, cut a gum, too. If you bite into a brandy snap. Too hard, though. Yeah, they're... Those things are savage. Now, cut a gum, too. If you bite into a brandy snap and it breaks, it'll get right in there between a tooth and a gum. The equivalent of getting something between your fingernail

and behind the fingernail. Mums love those. My mum always buys those. Every Christmas. Or a brandy bowl. Have you branched out to the brandy bowls? No. They're a bit like cupcake size, right?

And you can fill them with custard and ice cream. Does anybody under 40 or 50 buy a brandy snap? I love the taste of a brandy snap. I just find them too hard. They're yuck. Do you not like the taste? Nah. No time for them.

It's just sugar. It's just rubbish. It is. Nothing sits that hard without being 80, 90% shugs. Yeah. Interesting. Now I feel like a brownie snack. Number four on the list

of the top six items you'll see on a great Kiwi Bake Off, and I've done this myself. Meringues that don't form a peak in the bowl because someone added salt instead of sugar. If you, but I'll tell you what, from someone who did this, if you beat it long enough, it does start

to form peaks, and then you can put it in, it'll bake. And then when you pull it out and take a bite, you're like... I just feel like I ate the Dead Sea. Because you did. So salty. So salty. Number three on the list of the items we'll see on the Great Kiwi Bake Off is a fresh take on lamingtons, I feel.

You know they're okay. It's a Kiwi classic, but I've given it a fresh take. Yeah. So instead of like raspberry, which I learnt from you, you can make the raspberry flavouring from raspberry pulp and raspberry jelly. Yep, yep. What about a blueberry lamington from blueberry pulp and blueberry jelly? Controversial.

Controversial, but... What about lime? No. Lime jelly and... I've had those before and I was at a cafe and they did a pineapple one. I was like, there's no time for this. Oh, really? So you've tasted a brunch, Darlene?

Yeah. Away from the traditional chocolate. Basically do any flavour of jelly. Yeah. Or any pulp. No. No, you're being stupid now. I don't know where you get that flavour from.

Why are you saying stupid things? I like bubblegum jelly. Yuck. Is there a bubblegum jelly? Yeah. What colour is it? Blue. No, that's blueberry. No, there's a blue bubblegum jelly? Yeah. What colour is it? Blue. No, that's blueberry.

No, there's a blue bubblegum. No, there isn't. Let's make bubblegum, what are they called? Lamingtons. There's not a bubblegum jelly. Do you still put coconut on them? Hansel's make a jam. Are they the people that make the jelly crystals?

Yeah. Yeah. They don't make, they haven't branched out to a bubblegum. No, there's no. Bubblegum jelly. On crack. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't make, they haven't branched out to a bathroom. No, there's no. Bubblegum jelly. On crack. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know if it's Hansel's.

I don't know if it's the same one. No, I just Googled it. There's nothing. Nothing came up. No. It's seals. It's blueberry. You're thinking blueberry jelly.

The blue one's always blueberry. No, I know that there's blueberry. The blue one's always blueberry. It's a fruity one. The yellow one's always lemon. The green one's always lime. The red one's raspberry. Oh, I was about to say

Raspberry would be great You're not thinking of jelly beans again Are you? Oh maybe Oh yeah that's what you're doing Yeah classic Megan Number two on the list Of the items we're going to see

In the Great Kiwi Bake Off For today's top six Afghan biscuits That when you bite Literally explode into a ball of dust All over your pants and shirt Because that's pretty much What Afghans do anyway.

They're dusty, Becky. Very dusty. They're so yum. They're so yummy. But someone needs to invent a slightly gooier Afghan. Yeah. Because they just explode. Yeah.

And I bet this person's probably going to get criticised on the Great Kiwi Bake Off for having too much walnut on top. Fine art getting the balance of icing to walnut on an Afghan. You don't want too much walnut and the number one thing we'll see in the great kelly bake off for today's top six a sunken pavlova who opened the oven door it will be our baked alaska controversy where somebody opens the oven door while the pavlova is baking that's today's top six the football world cup is happening at the moment uh columbia eng England is the match that is underway right now.

It's nil all at halftime. Second half is about to kick off any second. Spain chucked their game against Russia because they didn't want to be poisoned slash killed so they shot before they left the stadium. It's always hard when you see sports people crying, eh, when they get eliminated. That never gets easy to watch.

They're paying heaps. They should be right. Oh, yeah, true. Cry and then go home and be like, oh, well, when they get eliminated? That never gets easy to watch, does it? They're paid heaps. They should be right. Oh, yeah, true. I cry and then go home and be like, oh, well, that's right. Well, Japan are eliminated. Yep, against Belgium. That was a very close game. That went into the kicks afterwards.

Penalty. Penalty kicks. You got it. And Belgium ended up winning that 3-2. And the Japanese fans were so passionate. They were loving it. And then what I must say is probably my favourite moment of any World Cup ever. Okay.

Being that I'm not a huge sports guy, so like the sports part's second to what happens in other places. Japan stayed with their fans, stayed behind and cleaned up the stadium. And I don't know why, but when I read the story, it really made me like, oh, it got me in a, maybe I was sensitive,

but it was a bit tired. Yeah. I was like, oh God, that's so good. And yeah, they had like, and not just talking a couple of bits of rubbish on the way out, they had bags.

Yeah. But didn't the actual team clean their locker and left a thank you note in Russian? Yeah. Thanks for having us. Spotless. It was spotless. It looked brand new, the changing sheds.

They cleaned up after themselves. Yeah. And left a little note. So basically they were like a school trip. Thank you for having us. Yeah. Who's going to write the note? You've got the nicest handwriting.

You write it. And you help me because you speak a little bit of Russian. Okay, teamwork. There's no way I'd do that. I'm such a sore loser. I'd be huffing. I'd be like, chuck my stuff in a bag and get on the team bus and get out of there. They can clean it up.

Yeah. Especially cleaning the stands. Like yesterday, you drank down and get out of there. Look, I feel sorry for the people who work in movies after, because if you've ever stayed till Marvel movies, you stay right till the end when the light's going back to full. You look around, you're like, this is an absolute mess. But football stadiums, rugby stadiums, any big stadiums are so much worse.

People just drop everything. But it's harder to drop stuff in a stadium, I find, because everyone can see, whereas at the movies, I've got no qualms dropping a Maltesers packet because I can't see. And just drop it on an angle to try to get it under the seat in front of you. There's nowhere else to put it. So you've just got to drop it on the ground. True, true.

That's fair. That's a fair call. But yeah, they stay behind, clean up the stadium. There's pictures of it. It's absolutely gorgeous. You're calling it the cutest moment ever in sport? I would probably agree. I'm calling it sport's cutest moment.

Granted, I don't have a fresh memory of an animal being on the field because every now and then an animal will be on the field. The kangaroo was in Australia, jumped across the field. Not cute though. No, that jumped across the track at Bathurst and... Or am I thinking a different one?

There was one on a... Oh, was there? Yeah. It wasn't cute though, you're right. It looked bloody dangerous. Terrified. Oh, was it scared? Because there on a soccer field. It wasn't cute, though. You're right. It looked bloody dangerous. Terrified. Oh, was it scared? Because there was that cat on the field, and people said that was really cute, but the cat looked absolutely terrified.

Yeah, didn't know where to go. Just running all around. But right now, let's go Bev next, Lev, for Fletcher's mum's Bev's travel blog. She's set up a blog, blew everybody away with pictures, just a blog. So many away with pictures Just a blog So many pictures

And I tell you what She doesn't take a bad photo Most of these photos are of people's gardens and roses Because she's on the tour with her Rose Appreciation Society She's doing a tour of gardens Yeah And they're doing a bit of a walk Not my idea of a holiday

No, but that's what holidays are, aren't they? They're what you're into You go and explore what you're into, and she loves her roses. But whereas your parents are going to all these amazing places, they don't want to show off. Bev's doing a blog. Bev's doing a blog, but it's password protected, so it's not showing off.

My dad messaged me yesterday, by the way. He wanted me to pass something on to you. He said, this is because they're in Hawaii now. They don't want to show off. Right. Tell Fletch don't want to show off. Right. Tell Fletch we've been to the gym. Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. To have a look.

And then that photo, that emoji with the shades on. Why would I want to know that? Might go back later. But you go to the gym. I know. Why don't they just say, I've been to the gym. Wait, is Ian saying there was hotties there or something? And I said, what are you on about here?

Did you actually go to the gym? What did you go for a look at? And then he just sent me the emoji of the arm with the muscles. Was he drunk? Fletch said, I'll need photos.

And he said, I'll work on it. And I said, please don't. No, I was just kidding. They don't, parents don't do subtle photos. No.

No, no, no. Mum takes her photos on her iPad. She'd literally walk in and be like, doesn't turn the sound off. Cha-ching, cha-ching iPad She'd literally walk in And be like Doesn't turn the sound off Cha-ching Cha-ching

Cha-ching Someone would be like What are you doing She's like Oh just taking some photos Of you They're not there They're for my friend

They're for my son's friend That's so weird From your dad Why would I Why do I care That he went to a gym I don't know You go to the gym

I know I can't explain them He just knows that Gym is your place Yeah yeah I just like he went to a gym? You go to the gym. I know. I can't explain him. He just knows that gym is your place for 30. Yeah, yeah. I just like to go to the gym. So we joined Bev in Denmark. She did a whole lot of days entries all at once. A lot of flower chat.

But this entry a little while ago now, because this is what happened on your birthday. Oh, okay. On the 23rd of June. And I will proudly say not a single mention of it. She did WhatsApp me. She did say, not a single mention in this. Unbelievable. I'm spending my son's

birthday taking in the sights. Anything like that? No, not at all. Not at all. They drove over another bridge. You remember last time, a lot of bridge chat. She loved it. Huge amount of bridge chat. This part, however, was a much shorter bridge. It's connected to mainland Europe and close to the German border. Lots of conflict throughout history here.

Our first stop was an old farm garden with old roses and perennials and a very large vegetable garden. The size of the roses here is amazing. I expected them to be smaller, but they seem to grow as large as ours do and the foliage is so clean and crisp. She's loving it, Abe. But that's the thing. In winter, Denmark, very cold.

But in summer, the sunlight hours are extremely long. Sunlight hours have a very long day. They also love English roses here. And also old heritage roses. At home, we do love to complain about possums eating our roses. But here in Denmark, the complaint is different. It's deer that come and eat deer roses. We're learning.

The next stop was Frederick's Guard. We discovered the most wonderful garden that I have ever been to. That's big call. Big call. She's been to a lot. 1.5 hectares. Kurt and Marion. Marion drew the whole garden before even starting the project,

which doesn't appear to be finished. They're slowly planning it out more. A stunning garden full of all sorts of roses, perennials, lilies. And then there's just this, like, literally, I'm still scrolling down through all these different photos of all these different flowers. Right. Last up of the day was Christian Field,

which was originally settled by a religious group from Germany. A few of the residents are still part of the group today. It was different. And we noticed sand on the floorboards. Why? Apparently. It's a big mystery. It's quite common in Denmark,

and it is laid to keep the floors clean. The grip stops the dirt becoming ingrained. It makes sense, but I do wonder if it is also slowly sandpapering the waterway. That's a good point. After dinner, there was a ritual bonfire and witch burning outside the hotel. Oh, my God. And there's an actual picture of the fire.

Like, it's a raging inferno. Oh, wow. It's like a massive bonfire. She should make it public. It's interesting. And many photos. If she keeps this up, she'll be working for Lon massive bomb. This is the thing about Bev's blog. She should make it public. It's interesting. And many photos. If she keeps this up, she'll be working for Lonely Planet. She really could be.

She really could be. We're situated on an inlet, presumably a fjord. Fjord. It's a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. The buildings are converted to a hotel after originally being a sanitarium. A sanatorium. Sanatorium? Sanitarium. Sanitarium, a sanatorium, sanatorium? Sanitarium.

Sanitarium. Wheatbugs. Yeah, I know. Where they make wheatbugs. For tuberculosis patients. Yeah. Wow. It's been lovely.

We're here for three days so it's time to unpack a little and do a little washing. Mums love a bit of washing on holidays. Yeah. They pull out that clothesline in the shower of hotels. Yeah. I didn't even know what that was for years

until my mum said, that's where you hang up your clothes after you've washed them. Why don't they do, I just take enough undies for the whole two weeks. And do they take a little pouch of soap powder here? Just in case. Yeah. I think my mum's been asked to explain

what the powder was in her bag in the container at an airport once, and she said it's clothes washing powder. Because she doesn't like paying the exorbitant rates to wash your clothes at the hotel. She just does it in the bath or sink, just with her hands. Yeah, yeah. And she'll stand there ages, and you'll just hear the splashing.

You'll be like, what are you doing? And she'll be like, well, I'm just washing. I'm midway through the wash cycle. I'll eventually get to the rinse, and then you hear her rinsing she's like a human washing machine and then wrings them out and hangs them on there

like just go in and find a laundromat or take enough undies for the whole time but your mum's away for a long time her suitcase would have been 90% undies

if she took enough undies for the whole trip true we'll delve back into Bev's blog as more updates come to hand because this is the thing

where she I'm imagining writes it all down, keynotes, bullet points, and then updates the blog. Because I told her the other night that you're into her blog, and she said, well, I've got drafts. I'm writing drafts. I don't have time to post them now. I need to go to sleep.

So tell Bourne there'll be some more soon. We're into her blog. You didn't say exactly what we were doing. Well, no, I think she'll cotton on, though. No one's told her, though. I'm waiting for one of her narc friends to comment in the comments, because the comment section's getting more active.

Is it? There's a couple of comments in there from different friends back home. Join us next time on Bev's Travel Blog, where she goes to the birthplace of King Harold Bluetooth. Is that who invented Bluetooth? It's his royal insignia that is the sign for Bluetooth.

Whatever. Bev tells us about that in Bev's next entry in Bev's Travels blog. FM. Hinton Anya is in the producer's booth. Morning. Good morning. Morning. There's an issue, and I believe this is an across-the-board issue.

All in the studio have got an issue with this, don't we? Yeah. In the producer's booth, the the studio have got an issue with this, don't we? Yeah. And the producers, both the two other producers also have issue with this. I think they see this daily. Yeah. With the multivitamin. Our issue being how you take pills. What's wrong with it?

Because you're an adult. That's what's wrong with it. If I had my way, I'd have chewable gummies in the shape of cute bears. They are yum. And I would like some. They're yum because they're 90% sugar, but they're still yum.

I always see those in the supermarket in the vitamin section. I'm like, I should get those. But then I'm like, they're obviously not good for you. No. But you can get chewable hard ones that are like... Are they in a beer shape? They are in a beer shape. Oh, I stand corrected.

I'll bring you in one tomorrow and you can try it out. That would be great. Yeah. There's other ones that are round and August says they taste yum, but it's only because they're round. They taste exactly the same. But now you're facilitating her problem rather than fixing it. So why don't you tell people listening now how you take a pill?

Okay. So I take a slight sip of water and I sort of, like, cushion the mouth. And then I just boop the pill in. I just boop it in and then I swallow it down. And if I need to do multiple pills, I'll do that process multiple times. Through pursed lips. Yeah. Well, I don't want the water to go everywhere, I'll do that process multiple times. Through pursed lips. Yeah, well, I don't want the water to go everywhere, Megan. I'm not full yet.

So you're going to push the pill in. You're just a little... No, but then the pill residue gets all over your lips. Oh, no. My technique's good. You put your neck back a bit. There's ways around it. So you can't put a pill in your mouth like normal people.

Oh, no, thanks. And then drink it down. I'd do a handful pill in your mouth like normal people. Oh, no thanks. And then drink it down. I'd do a handful if I take some multivitamins in the morning. Send these vitamins and it comes in a pack and in each pack there's like six. Right. And I just huck them in every morning. I literally just chuck them in.

One of them always just slides down by mistake on the chuck. Yeah. And then I just have a quick swig. No, no, no. Because then as well, sometimes you take water and the pill will like stick to the tongue. Yeah, and you're like, oh no, go down please. You're supposed to put it in the back of your mouth. Caitlin, you'll take a pill dry sometimes, won't you?

Yeah. I just get like a, yeah, I take it raw dog. I just put like a bit of. That is disgusting I thought I'd get saliva in my I'm going to stop talking You just build up enough saliva Yeah

And then you can just Using that saliva is enough to lubricate the pill Enough to get it to swallow it If it's not like one of those big massive ones Yeah because those big multivitamins Are always a big chunky one eh You've got to have the water to get it through Because it might not go all the way down like one of those big massive ones. Yeah, because those big multivitamins are always a big chunky one, eh? Yeah. You've got to have the water to get it through

because it might not go all the way down. You can take two of those at one time. I take, because I always take garlic and echinacea, and I always take four of those at one time. Four? Without water? That's madness. No, wet water.

I was going to say. Absolutely. But it's just like a mouthful of food that you're chucking back with water on you. I can't crunch it up, though. You've got to chew 24 times, Megan. That's not 24. Do you ever get a little, because I take a Barocca, do you ever get a little bit carried away and you can't wait for it to fully dissolve

so you just start drinking? You're like, I'll drink it through my teeth, but then the half-dissolved Barocca slips under your teeth and it's dissolving in your throat? I've never been that impatient for a Barocca. That's why I drink warm baraka. I'm so impatient. I can't...

Standing watching baraka dissolve in cold water does my head in. It's too much waiting. No, you've got to prepare it. Go do something and come back. You always comment on it as well. You're always like, oh, that's a quick fizzer.

Like if I'm drinking... What have you got here? What brand's this? This is a quick fizz i'm always looking for a quicker delivery it's weird oh look at that thing go yeah put in the warm water it goes quicker and then just but yeah sometimes i even get too impatient for that and i'll drink it and i think i'll keep it out with my teeth of the gatekeeper but then it gets so slim it slips between the teeth and then it dissolves in your throat.

And I imagine that would just be, like, the worst for you if you can't handle a pill. Absolute sacrilege. No, thank you. Not for me. Okay. Well, you continue to purse your lips and finger your pill in. I think it's great practice for when you need to do suppositories because you're already popping a pill through a person.

And there, I don't know if your butt can take a tiny sip of water before hand. trees because you're already popping a pill through a person. In there. I don't know if your butt can take a tiny sip of water before hand. Probably with the right angle on a pump bottle you could. Just the tip. Okay. Okay.

Okay. If you accidentally shut the pump bottle while it's in there it'll pinch. Okay. Okay. If you accidentally shut the pump bottle while it's in there, it'll pinch. Okay. Coming up in Spy. Someone tweet. Life tips. Life tips for avoiding A&E. You know that After Dark Girls Only Facebook page?

Yeah. Somebody showed me one on there once and a woman said the trick to avoid that is you put a hair tie around the bottom of the pump bottle. I don't know what she's doing. I was like, what's she doing? That she's worked out a foolproof method. Anyway. FVM, the podcast.

Over the weekend, this footage was intense. It's World Cup qualifier for the Basketball World Cup at the moment. So a whole lot of games are being played. We played China last week. That's a shot. I don't know. That's a shot. James, is it China?

Did we play China? Jaina. Sorry, I'm saying it wrong. Jaina. Did we play Jaina last week? Yeah, it was either them or, and we played Hong Kong maybe as well. Recently? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So Australia played the Philippines, and it was in this qualifier that the craziest basketball brawl I've ever seen in basketball. Always a bit of push and shove, but I don't think it's ever known for its brawling. Not all at that time. This is like boxing level brawling, like chairs being thrown, people flying in from the crowd

to have a scuffle. I saw it on the news last night. It is full on. It goes for like five minutes, right? Yeah. People from the crowd start joining in and piling on Australian players on the floor. Yeah. It's ridiculous.

Because it was being played in the Philippines. Yeah. And footage came out of the coach, the Philippines coach, at a timeout saying, hit someone. Like they're obviously losing to Australia by quite a bit and they want to bring in a bit of biff. I don't know, they want to rile up the Aussies. And this Philippines player pretty much clotheslines

an Australian guy with his elbow, shoulder barges him, knocks him to the floor. If you can't beat them, beat them. Up. Yeah. Sure. 100%. And that's when it starts. It just goes all out.

It flies out. The first international basketball game to be called off to have people removed from the stadium. I think they removed players. So they only had a couple of players left so they had to call it off. Because, yeah, Australia were just like, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Yeah, boom, boom, boom, boom. Slam dunk. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom Or badminton? No, but most games have a bit of contact. Even the non-contact sports have a... I mean, football's got to be at the absolute low end of this because someone just gets lightly brushed by somebody else's shirt and they throw themselves. They'll backflip onto the ground and... And cry. ...faint broken bones. But, you know, all other non-contact sports

there's a fair bit of contact. And then ice hockey's just... Oh, that's crazy, yeah. Slam them against the wall. It's like Disney on ice and fighting on ice, really. Yeah, pretty much. It is. It slams and punches and everything.

I'd like to know, though, this morning, when someone's been asked to leave your sports game. Because, you know, it's not just players. It's, you know, a sideline mum and dad. Supporters, mums and dads. Yeah, over-enthusiastic coaches. Yeah. Like, they're, you know, they have a go at referees.

It's sad going to sports games now, kids' sports games, where there's signs saying, this referee's a volunteer. Like, these are kids. Don't beat them up. Yeah, yeah, just relax, chill. Sit on your little fold-out chair. It's just a game. No one's going to die at the end of it.

Exactly. My mum got a talking to at our kneeball game, but not because she was yelling at the ref. She was yelling at me. Just constant, like, telling me what to do. Constant disappointment. Following me around the court. Yeah.

And so she got told to. Oh, so she was sideline pacing. Yeah. She'd come round to the goal end and tell me. What would she say? Just like, shoot it up, shoot it. No, go in for the rebound. You didn't go for the rebound.

Like, constant screaming. Tight in, mum. They were like, you need to rein it in. You're distracting the other players. But was she asked to leave? No. Just tone it down.

Tone it down or she would have to leave. Oh. I don't think she came back after that. She got upset. She was done. She was like,

I can't deal with that. If I can't support my daughter, I'm not coming back. Support was a funny word to use in that sentence, Mum. It didn't feel like it. Yeah. Support.

So, okay, let's take some calls. 0800-DARLS-NM-9696. Who got asked to leave your sports game? We're talking about who got sent away from your sports game. Maybe inappropriate behaviour. So many parents. It's mostly parents being sent away that we're hearing about this morning. Isn't that insane?

Although somebody just said they were at a game of under six rugby. So I'm guessing that's ripper rugby. Yeah. And they saw a kid being carried off the field. And they were like, is that kid okay? Yeah. And one of the parents was like, oh, he just took a swing at the ref. A six-year-old?

Took a swing at the ref. What, like at his knee? I don't know, but that's so worrying. Like, where has that kid learnt that that's acceptable behaviour? That's insanity. Like, Dad watching the All Blacks must really get his blood going. Oh, my goodness me. Some other text messages.

And I had somebody walked off site by security after a game because they wouldn't stop yelling at me during an Apple game, of which I was the ref. This was in the lowest grade of competition too. So I'm like, why are you taking this so seriously? This is like literally half a step above social grade. And especially when those refs aren't being paid and they're volunteers. Yeah, they're volunteers.

And that there's security there to do the walking away of people. I know, because this must happen like quite a bit. I hated reffing netball like for younger grades because the parents are psycho. It was the most awful thing. Tiari, what happened? I was sitting my unpaid license for netball

when I was an intermediate. Right. I was reff unpaid licence for netball when I was an intermediate. Right. I was reffing under 10s and a dad got so angry at me for the calls I was making that he got escorted off the court. And the calls you were making were just normal calls? You were just doing your job? Yeah, well, like under 10s, we let them kind of, you know, they can have up to three steps.

You're not supposed to move the ball at all. But we had one kid who kept running down half the court. So I had to call her on stepping. But it was obviously this guy's kid. So he wasn't happy. She's running down the court, mate. You've got to learn. You've got to learn.

Wow. Tiari, thanks for your call. Jalen, who got asked to leave your sports games? My mum. She got called by all the refs every single Saturday. And so what would she do? So I'll be playing netball, and then every time the other team had the ball,

she'll go psycho and tell the other team off. It's like Megan's mum. Yes. Wait, tell them off for having the ball? Yeah. No, but Megan was telling off her own daughter. Your mum's telling off the other kids. At least she's supportive.

That's out of your mum's jurisdiction. Yeah. I think that's just, possession goes both ways in sport, doesn't it, really? Jalyn, thanks for your call. Georgia, who was asked to leave your game? So I was playing hockey when I was about 16,

and we had Pretty much Pretty much a brawl Between both teams' parents So not even Not even the kids It was the parents brawling Yep

Oh god We were all good on the field And then all of a sudden We look over And there's a big old Riot happening Oh that's going to make For an awkward

After sport Switching of mellow puffs You know how you go and there's a table? Were your parents at the bottom of that mall? No, my parents weren't there to support me that day, but I'm probably glad they weren't. It's good when your parents weren't there the day that the parents all got into a fight. Yeah. And so what was the outcome of that?

Were they banned? Yeah, they were banned for about five years. Oh, wow. And they had to apologise to both teams because the captains got sent off. Both captains got sent off the field because of the riots. Wow. Obviously, the parents leading by example, they're setting a good example.

Thanks, you called Georgia. Some other text messages in. My husband was reffing kids basketball in the States and a parent in the stands threw a full Gatorade bottle at him. They had to call off the game and literally wait for who to admit who threw the bottle. All right, we're not leaving. Growing adults.

And the game starts running again until somebody admits who threw that Gatorade bottle. My mum got asked to leave our college soccer games because she'd start screaming the wrong name when someone got the ball and would confuse whoever had it. That's so cheeky. And they'd turn around and look. She still calls me the wrong name occasionally.

Bless you, Mum. Oh, but that's what Mums do. Like, I've only got one brother, but she'll say his name. She'll call me Scott. Oh, yeah. John and then her brother's name and then the cat's name.

Oh, Carl. Eventually get to you. Yeah, you got there, Mum. She shouted the whole sports team by the time she gets Eventually get to you. You got there, mum. She shouted a whole sports thing by the time she gets to you. Yeah. Somebody else said, I was a referee at a game and I started getting abused. So I just blew the whistle to stop the game, grabbed the ball and walked away.

Good. Good way to end. Because without a ref, you're not going to have a game. And like we said, like these people are, you know, volunteering. Most of the time, yeah. Just while we're on sports and football, it's one all Columbia, England. They're going crazy, crazy after 94 minutes.

Columbia's never beat England, right? No. Wait, so it's a draw. It's a draw at the moment. After 94. Are they in extra time or what do they call it? It's still going. I think there's a penalty shootout. But 94 minutes, the second half should be up. It's 45 each.

Yeah, well, it should be. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So there must be an extra time. But this game, it goes so long and they've scored one point each. I know, but it's been exciting. It's about the journey. So much running around.

So much. So much. So much. So much to yell at the ref until this game gets called off. Am I a bad person? Welcome to Am I a Bad Person? And normally we have a listener on with us now, and they will be in an awkward situation, a conundrum.

They want to know what they should do. Are they a bad person? Well, today, our very own Megan. You know how we do those little video clips and they go on Facebook and stuff? Can we not do one out of this? The lights are on in the studio and the cameras are rolling. Andrew's not listening right now. We're in a safe zone.

And then if it's not online, there's no way. As someone that's pulled the safe zone clause, I back Megan up on this. Yeah. Okay, so this is, it's safe to talk about Mr. Toyboy now because he's not listening. Yeah. Okay. So, okay.

Now that I'm saying this out loud, I know that people are going to jump on me. But just... But sometimes that's all you need. But if I'm feeling this way, then you can't argue my feelings, okay? Okay. Oh, God.

So... How a crazy person starts a sequence. No! Okay, okay. Roll with it. That's like saying, look, what I'm about to say, look, I'm not a racist, but... Don't interject. Like, let me get it out. Okay. I'm not crazy, but here we go. So, my

husband has started a new job. Mr. Toyboy. Yeah. And I hadn't been there. I hadn't visited. So,. Yeah. And I hadn't been there. I hadn't visited. So I went along and I... Stop it, Vaughn. Stop it. I'm looking away. I'm not interjecting.

I'm letting you tell your story. That laugh, though. I wasn't laughing till she... I'm really supportive, okay? Like, real supportive. He went away for seven months for his career and I was like, you go. He did. I was going to say girlfriend.

So anyway, I went to his new work and he'd spoken about, like, some people that worked there before. So I was like, oh good, yeah, these people happen to be females. So then I went into his work for the first time. Yeah. And so he works with hot people, okay?

He works with hot girls. And I'm not begrudging them for being hot. Like, good on them. He works in what would you say, the hospitality industry. Yeah. And I mean, fair's fair. You come to work with two stunning babes. Yeah, no, that's true.

Me and Fletch. Not just before any one of the producers claims that as titles. I was talking about us. And so I was like, okay. Yeah. Okay. So he works with hot babes. And then he came home one day and said that his boss was like doing a little team bonding

thing and decided it would be real fun if they did work Pilates together. So. I didn't know this was falling under the guise of team bonding. Yeah. Exercise, but team bonding. The boss, like, pays for it, which is cool. Like, that's, you know, free exercise and stuff. And the trouble is, though, like, he's going to do Pilates,

private Pilates with these hotties. And I'm like, cool. And to be fair, this is all internalised. I haven't said any of this to him, which is why we don't put this on Facebook. I've been so supportive. I'm like, if you want to do that, that's really cool. You go and do that with your new workmates. But you don't mean it.

No, but then I was like, oh, is it open to, like, me? Can I come along? Or is it purely work? And he did the old, um, so the boss is kind of paying for it, and I think it might just be like a work thing, but I'll ask.

Oh, he's a young man, isn't he? So he had the wisdom of me. I was like, okay, well, I'll get on board and maybe I can, like, befriend them slash, like, watch while we're there. Well, you've got afternoons free. You can get a job.

Me? That wouldn't be crazy at all if you started working where he works. Or get a job at the cafe. Yeah, get a job at his. It's a work. Well, I work here technically now, so I'm coming to the Pilates thing.

So you want to know, am I a bad person for what? For wanting to crash their workplace thing. Let's not look into my motives for it, because I just wanted to befriend everyone. You're sounding, are you hearing yourself? A little bit. Producers, what do we think? Is Megan a bad person for wanting to go to Mr. Toyboy's work event so I can keep an eye on her? Don't say work event.

It's work Pilates. Megan, you know that I support you fully on everything, and I don't think you've got anything to worry about. Here it comes. He loves you. But, like, make the most of it. Go home, watch Love Island. As Vaughn said before, I'd make the most of it.

Eat a packet of biscuits in bed. Caitlin, I thought you were going to be like, make the most of it. Go home, watch Love Island. As Vaughn said before, I'd make the most of it. Eat a packet of biscuits in bed. Caitlin, I thought you were going to be like, make the most of the free Pilates. I was like, I intend to. No. Let him do his own things, and then you can do your own things. Anya, what would you do if your boyfriend was going to Pilates with hot girls from work?

Be honest. Have you ever seen that Stephen King movie, Misery, where she smashes his ankles with a sledgehammer so he can't leave the house? I'd say Anya would be somewhere in that deranged cage. Wasn't he sitting next to some hot chicks at work? And you were like,

no, guys. When are you going to knife a 65-year-old woman that worked at the same station as him because she called him sweetheart one morning? I'm not Oh, no. Mental guys. Nah, I'd be so cool with it.

I'd be like, babe, go have fun. Oh. Honestly. Okay. Tomorrow, we send Andy,

your Andy, to the sexiest, politest, closest you see. We certainly will not. You would absolutely, would you go along? No.

Or would you tell him not to go? Okay. 100% honesty, I wouldn't go along, but I would have the biggest drop about it. I reckon I'd just be like, have fun. See you after. See, in my defence, I haven't done any of that.

He's got absolutely no idea that I've got a problem with this. Well, I don't have a problem with it. Oh, God. You do have a problem. You do have a problem. I just want to go along. Okay, am I a bad person for wanting to crash? It's so nice witnessing somebody else put their marriage

in knots on the show. Not being me for once. I haven't done anything wrong today. Yet. It's the eighth of June. There's time. Back to the day's question. Should we just, like, I don't need calls.

Well, we're going to take some calls and text messages. And text messages are evenly split. Okay, is Megan a bad person for wanting to go to Mr. Toyboy's Pilates event with the hot chicks? His workplace Pilates. If you need someone to go along, I could go too and help him. Now you're in trouble. I've done it, damn it! Now you're in trouble.

I've almost got there. You nearly did it. What's the time? Damn it, it's that time? You nearly did it. Damn it, it's that time too. Am I a bad person? Today Megan is asking the question, am I a bad person? For wanting to go along with Mr. Toyboy's Pilates work thing.

I'm really, I'm so regretting this. So he works with hotties And like I don't begrudge them for that Cause like They're hot All good But like

Then he's asked to do Well he hasn't asked He said he's gonna do A work Pilates class with them If it was work paintball And they were in unsexy overalls Would you have a problem with that? Not at all

But we all know What Pilates is like Yeah right And is it a grid Or are they in a line? If it's a grid, he has to go at the front of the class. 100. But then you turn around and stuff.

And then when you're in the pussy where you go down on your hands and you look back through your legs, you'll be looking back at them. Upside down. Oh, yeah. And they'll be framed by his jennies. Have we asked, though, the question, how old are these girls, these hot girls? Younger than me.

Oh, so you're fine then. Why? Because he likes He's into the old girls. It's a weird hippie that runs the Pilates class you're probably going to worry about.

All like you know those ones that are 60 but they look 40? Oh yeah, yeah. They can do things. Can they walk? It's a work thing but I was was like, can I go along?

And I want to know if I'm a bad person for wanting to go along to his work Pilates class. And it is quite split, isn't it? Oh, hells yes. Right. No, there's definitely not everybody saying you're a bad person. Okay. Somebody said, even if you're going to be there, they're still going to be hot. It's quite poetic in a way, isn't it?

Is the ignorance bliss? Like if I go and then it is as hot as I think it is, I'll be like, oh. And having been to one Pilates class, it was not nearly as sexy as I had imagined. Right. You know, in my mind, I'm like, I'll give it a go. It sounds hot.

Yeah. And then you get there and you're like, it's hard work, isn't it? And then the mid-Pilates farts happened because they were in stretching. And sure, most of them were me, but some of them were other people as well. Jana, is Megan a bad person? Nah, not at all. Okay, so what would you do in her situation?

I wouldn't even let my husband go. But you don't need palates. You don't need palates. You look great already. You don't need palates. If you want to Pilates. You look great already. You don't need Pilates. If you want to do Pilates, you're doing Pilates at home. What if it was a non-sexy work event with the sexy people? Um, I don't know.

If it was like work drinks, generally I can go. So I'm like, oh, it's all good. But I don't know. Okay, it's work drinks, but you're not allowed to go? No, normally I... I know, but you're not allowed to go in this scenario. Is he still allowed to go? Um, normally I... Oh, no, but you're not allowed to go in this scenario. Is he still allowed to go? Yeah, if all the other guys are there.

But if it was just him and the two girls... So then you're much more likely to get drunk and shit on your partner than you are get flexible and shit on your partner. Bilates, right? True. Good point. It's true. I've just inadvertently got your partner banned from work drinks, haven't I?

Gianna, thanks for your call. Sarah, is Megan a bad person? Hi. No, I don't think she's a bad person. I've been in a similar situation. Okay. Oh, God. So what happened?

Well, my partner, he is the boss, so it's kind of different. But what happened was he had a hot assistant. She's very hot. I stalk her on Instagram. Very hot. Okay. Good on but... Yeah. Well, I haven't once. He had a hot assistant. She's very hot. Like, I stalk her on Instagram. Very hot. Okay. Good on her. Yeah.

Yeah. No, she's... I understand that level of hotness where you can't even be happy for them. Yeah. I get that. I see guys sometimes and I'm like, no, you're too attractive for me to even be like,

that guy's hot. Get out of my life. Get out of my eyeballs. Yeah, so I was talking to an Instagram and then she'd flirt with him in front of me and I'd be like, it's cool, it's cool. One day I snapped and they have to say, no, she's no longer their assistant. Oh, well, win-win. You win, you win.

Yeah, but maybe don't do that Megan, since two boys may not still be there. I tell you what, if they flirt with him and throw at him, I will throw down. Yeah. No, I'm not psycho. I was going to say, that's something psycho people would say. Can we get a guy's opinion?

Sam, what do you think? Is Megan a bad person? Oh, God. No, I don't reckon she's a bad person. She's just showing an interest in what he's up to. She's just trying to look out for him. She's doing the girlfriend thing. That's what I'm doing.

I reckon wanting to go along is a bit much. It's just the fact that you're showing an interest is, you know, good. But she's only showing an interest because she wants to keep an eye because there are hot girls there. Yeah, but if I was in the same situation and, like, if I had a girlfriend who wanted to go to, like, Pilates with a whole lot of hot guys, I would feel the

same way. I wouldn't go, but I would feel the same way. Thank you, Sam. Some people quite like. I've got some friends that had partners that really liked when they got jealous because it showed them that they were interested. They cared? They were interested and cared.

Yeah, but then you get into a dangerous game of fencing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And the old cat and mouse. Yeah. Um, Anisha, is Megan a bad person? Oh, is this me? Yes. Is your name Anisha? Yeah. Yeah, it's you. Anisha's a diamond, doesn't she?

So what do you think, Anisha? Yeah, so first of all, I just want to say, Megan, like, no one can judge you think, Anisha? Yeah, so first of all, I just want to say, Megan, like, no one can judge you for your feelings and your choices. So if the people through the text machine are saying that you're a bad person, then you do your girl.

Like, don't worry about them. Oh, thanks, babes. Yep. Secondly, I don't want to, like, I'm not going to judge you at all. Also, I'm going to pose you a question. Oh, God. Why are you worried about him going?

I don't know, because he's not going to feed on you. I know, and especially not at Pilates. Yeah, and everything you've said on the radio about him, you guys sound rock solid, so I don't think you have anything to be worried about, girl. I need Anisha's number so I can call her all the time.

She can be like your AA support person when you're having a fragile moment. That's a good point. I don't know why I feel... Yeah, just think about why you might be worried because it might just be you think that you need to be worried, but you don't because you have nothing to worry about. It's just girls feel insecure when there's hotties

and you're like, oh, and I definitely don't need them bending around in front of my husband. But you know that he loves you and you know that he's not going to cheat on you. It's true. Great words, Anisha. Have you got sensibility? So sensible.

Thanks, Anisha. So she said I'm kind of a bad person? Balanced perspective of Anisha to some text messages. Okay. Somebody said, Megan, in this case, I go to my life mantra, TAS. Throw a strop. Throw a strop, babes. Throw a strop.

I'm really good at a good strop. You know that. You are great at strops. You're up there. You're top five strop throwers. Thank you. I'm better at a strop than Megan. Oh, you're number one. Thank you. I'm learning. Thank you. And wherever,rop throwers. Thank you. I'm better at a strop than Megan. Oh, you're number one. Thank you.

I'm learning. Wherever, whenever, whoever. You're the best strop thrower I know. Someone said, don't become the crazy girlfriend that they'll tease him about at work. Because then insecurity gets planted in his mind.

You aren't bad for wanting to go, but if you actually do go, that will be bad. And somebody said, I wonder if the hotties are listening, because A, they'll take this as a compliment. That's what I'm hoping. People quite like to be referred to as an intimidating hottie.

But then there will also probably be awkwardness at some stage in the future. Yeah, I can never go back there. No. I'm never going to. the future. Yeah, I can never go back there. No. I'm never going to. Not now. No, you can't. Yeah.

We can though, right? Like go for a coffee later. I mean, it's nowhere near either of our houses. We could go. You're in so much trouble. You guys want to go? You got to come.

You're getting yourself in trouble again. I can't go by myself. You've done it now. It's a work trip. Sorry, Shadow, you can't come. It's a work trip. To see the hotties that Megan's husband works with.

Stop. Oh, yeah, I've gone there now. FBM. ZM. Oh, my God. Sons of Zion drift away on ZM. Fleeche, Warner, Megan. 8.31, it's time for...

No, wait a minute. I just want to... Can you share the oh, my God? Oh, I just... I actually just found a pair of one size fits all jeans. Everyone's saying these are the real life sisterhood of the travelling pants.

Sorry, I was watching a video. Where's one size fit all? I know, there's a video. Girls all different sizes are trying these jeans on. Well,

but what about us? They'd probably fit you too. You need to see this video. Get a pair. We'll test it. Okay. No, they sound like those

infomercial jeans. Have you seen those? Terrible. No, they're not tights, they're jeans. Oh, right, jeans. We'll test it Okay No they sound like Those infomercial jeans Have you seen those It's terrible No they're not tight It's their jeans Oh right They're not jeggings Right

They're not jeggings Gosh Fall into that trap Three or four times Haven't I It's time for Fact of the day Day

Day Day Day Today's fact of the day I found this interesting This is about the Oscars And specifically the best foreign film Oscar This can be entered

From any country Whose Primary language is non-English So although they are foreign to the Academy, England can never win this. Because they speak English. Unless it's a Welsh film. Right.

But then that would be more Great Britain than just primarily England. But yeah, if they're primary, and I guess that means we couldn't. I mean, one of our official languages is Māori. A Māori film could win. It's not the predominant language, though, is it? No, it's not the...

Yeah, it's not percentage-wise. It's not the primary language of the country. But these films, whilst the director always goes up and accepts it, the award doesn't get kept by the director. It actually gets given to the country itself. So the French foreign language film wins Best Foreign Film, that's silly.

What about the director? Goes up and accepts it on behalf of France. But the director made it. I know, but the French get to keep the film. God, you finally win an award and it goes to someone else. Yeah. Rubbish. It goes to the government, goes to the parliament.

And also when I was looking into this, I found out, someone else. Yeah. Rubbish. Goes to the government, goes to the parliament. Oh. So yeah, and also when I was looking into this, I found out, and I didn't know this either, because often this

confuses me, who, what constitutes a lead role versus a supporting actor or actress? You know how it's like the Academy?

Yeah, because sometimes in a movie, like, they'll have as big a part. Like hidden figures. They, those three, was it just three or was it four? Three women, you'd say they were all on par, right? Because sometimes in a movie, like, they'll have as big a part. Like hidden figures.

Those three, was it just three or was it four? Three women. You'd say they were all on par, right? 100%. But two of them got nominated for Best Supporting and one of them got nominated for Lead. Octavia Spencer got nominated for Lead. Is that right? I think so, yeah.

So in another film, the one recently nominated, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Yeah. That was across the board. Frances McDormand was kind of the main female character. But there was the guys. There was Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, and they were nominated for different categories as well.

So in researching and finding out about this foreign film, that's actually decided upon by the voters. Oh, they decide who's the lead. So they decide who was the lead. So Sam Rockwell might get heaps of votes for lead actor but slightly more votes for supporting actor, so that means he falls into the

supporting actor category. Huh. Wow, okay. I guess it's the perception of the people watching it. Yeah, so make sure, if you're ever in a Hollywood movie and it's kind of shared around, that in the credits, your name goes first and it says lead actor beside it, so that you get the best Oscar. That would definitely help. Which none of us will ever be in the position of, but it's kind of shared around that in the credits your name goes first and it says lead actor beside it so that you get the best Oscar that would definitely help which none of us will ever be in the position of but it's nice I know with that attitude have you seen me acting

yeah you're BAFTA award nominated and thank you that's some say higher than an Oscar not many but some so today's fact of the day is the when you win the foreign Award, the award goes to the country that that film was filmed in, not the director that made it. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Do-do-do. Blackout movie. This is why. Fat. This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fat.

This one, I'm actually thinking about it now. I'm surprised. The product that this was launched to counter, to be a competitor against, has been unchallenged for so long. Okay. There's not been somebody willing to step up. This is why I'm fat takes a look at a new food item that has hit the market. Yeah.

And will be undoubtedly adding to the obesity problem of any country it's launched in. That doesn't stop us wanting it though, does it? No. No. And we can tell you that if you're a fan of lint. How do you say that? Lindt. Lindt.

No, because that's L-I-N-T to me. Yeah, I think a D is just silent. Lindt. Lindt. Okay. It's real nice chocolate. They have launched a chocolate spread to take on Nutella. Nutella's had the chocolatey hazelnut spread market.

Yeah, cornered. Yeah, they have. Well, Lindt's launched hazelnut cream, which it claims the chocolatey hazelnut spread market. Yeah, cornered. Yeah, they have. Well, Lintz launched hazelnut cream, which it claims is 40% hazelnuts. So see you later, hazelnuts, in any other aspect of your life. Because in worldwide usage of hazelnuts, some astronomical percentage is used by Nutella. Right. How else do you eat hazelnuts? They're gross, unless they're made into, like, chocolate.

I was going to say covered in chocolate, but that's more of a... You're right though. Megan's right. I don't mind a hazelnut. Oh, yeah. It's got a thin... It's very mushy. A thin cover on it.

Like an acorn. Like a huge fan of... Yeah, right. Yeah, like a really thin husk underneath the main shell of the hazelnuts. My biggest problem. But the hazelnut cream has launched and people are losing their mind. This is in Britain at the moment. And someone's done direct taste comparisons and said saliva, too much saliva.

It's already starting. To be able to talk properly. Yeah. And they said that the Lindt tastes better and it's pretty much like spreading those chocolate hazelnut balls you get at Christmas on your toast. Oh, yum. That's going to be expensive because that's a high-end chocolate. That is a high-end chocolate. £5.99.

Oh, yeah, okay. £5.99. You're not putting that on toast, are you? You're just getting a spoon. Or you're just using your finger. Yeah. What about some high-end toast? Like a fruit toast?

You just want to chuck it on a nice fruit toast? No, I wouldn't go fruit toast. Fruit toast for me is a marmalade exclusive property. I'll do honey on a fruit toast. I'll do honey if there's no marmalade, but otherwise it's marmalade on fruit toast with a lot of butter. But I'm talking like a high-end artisan bread. Maybe you'd

put a bit of Lindt chocolate spread on. But just watch out for that because that'll sneak up on you and the next thing you know, you'll be addicted. And it's out in the UK, so I'd imagine it won't be long until it's here or it's parallel imported.

I was going to say, someone will start bringing it back from the UK and making money on it, money on the transporting of it. So that's another reason that we're fat. This is why.

Fat. This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fat. F-E-M.

England are into the semis of the World Cup after a penalty, a quarterfinals after the shootout with Columbia. We just watched that. That was us getting on the bandwagon. Yeah. I wanted Columbia to get through. Same, Megan. Yeah, I choose my teams by cuteness.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you like that, Leah, the new Hemsworth brother. In the Brazilian football team, you were talking about him this morning. Or was that Caitlin? The new Hemsworth brother. No, it was Caitlin. Caitlin. No, Megan was doing something else at the time.

I don't think she's heard about it. No, there's a Brazilian football player that looks like a Hemsworth. He's like the fourth Hemsworth brother, Caitlin. He's the goalie. He's so hot. But he's got more tan skin. He's hot. What is he? He's the goalie. He's so hot. But he's got more tan skin. Oh, he's hot. What is he?

Is he the goalie? Yeah. The gorgeous goalkeeper goes viral Brazilians World Cup. It's annoying when hot people are good at things as well. I know. I think you should pick. Do you want to be good at sport

or just hot? Or just hot? You can't be. Oh, yeah. He does look like a Hemsworth. Oh, Vaughn. Okay. Rain it.

And. Goodness me. Some news. Some news. Because we quite often engage in a bit of banter, iPhone v. Samsung, against Samsung users because we're all iPhone-ers. I read this story last night. It's an interesting story,

but no one seems to be willing to take responsibility for this. Right. Or have an answer on why it's happened. But there have been multiple reports of Samsung phone users whose photo rolls, so their camera roll on their phone, are just getting sent without them doing anything to random people in their contacts list. The whole lot?

Or does it just pick photos? Somebody said their entire, they updated their phone so there wasn't a whole lot of photos on there. Yeah. But a whole lot of them got sent to their girlfriend. So you can imagine they might have a couple of complaints to make. Oh, that would be trouble, wouldn't it, Fletch? Your phone just starts randomly sending out photos.

Yeah, I mean, think about who's in your contacts. People you work with. Your mum, your dad, your family. I forgot about family. Does your family need to see what's on your photo roll in the vault? Well, no, this wouldn't happen to me because it's in the vault. So get yourselves the vault. Screen caps.

But you think if you screen cap something and send it to someone being like, pfft, lols. Just me? Just me? Give me strength. No, you know that I've done that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it's mostly to our group chat that I send those screen caps. Give me strength. Oh, no, we all know that's all of us. No, you know that I've done that, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, it's mostly to our group chat

that I send those screencaps. Give me a break. Those just get sent to anybody and everybody. So they're just the odd report of this happening. It's not a huge thing. Yeah, it's not across the board. But still, if it's happened to a few people, that's a bit of a worry, though, isn't it?

Yeah. There must be some sort of bug. They're speculating at this stage. They haven't exactly narrowed down exactly what it is, but there's a new type of messaging. And this might be something to do with T-Mobile because a lot of people on the provider T-Mobile overseas are also the people experiencing this

because they've changed some way that their RCS messaging works. I think they want it to be like an iMessage, but on that cellular network. So no reports of it happening in New Zealand? No. So it sounds like a provider thing. It may very well be a provider thing. No reports from New Zealand.

Not to say it hasn't. Maybe it has. That's your phone turning into a little... Narc. Your phone narcing on you. Your snitches get ditches, fine. And they end up in ditches fun. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn, and Megan.
