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. It's kickoff time in the semifinal of the World Cup. The other game, England v Croatia. Do you know, walking to work this morning, there was a bit of a hum. Even in the city, people already bagging tables outside bars that hadn't even opened.

Wow. Oh, my God. I saw some Croatian flags and some supporters up. I'm torn here. Oh, yeah. Who are we going for, England or Croatia? If England loses, though, is it going to affect us? Because I kind of want them to lose just because they've been yobbos, you know?

Yeah. Because I want to see them be like, oh. They've celebrated before they've won. Yeah. Yeah, right. But then... And they did trash at IKEA. That was bad form.

Oh, but you can't say every English fan deserves to have a loss just because of a few. Yeah, true. That's very silly. They're very happy for once, which is nice. Do we know any Croatians? Yep. I've got Croatian friends.

Goran? Oh, yeah. He's Croatian. Okay. Anybody whose last name ends in sitch, itch, or itch, or bitch, that's a...

Ech. The Croatian. I know Ech was a little Germany. I know a Milović. Yep. Definitely, 100% that would be Croatian. Yeah, I've got, I have, I never had're Croatian. I know Ek was a little Germany. I know a Milovich. Yep. Definitely 100% that would be Croatian. I never had any Croatian mates until I moved to Auckland.

And especially out west of Auckland, we've got Dalmatians. We've got heaps of Dalmatians. That's what they're called. That's right. Not the fire dogs. Oh, not the dogs. Not the dogs. I was like, what are the spotty dogs?

I thought the dogs are named after them. Right. The dogs are named after Croatian. Is it Lord Croatian? Yes. She's half Croatian. Half Croatian. Yep, the Jalic.

Jalic O'Connor. Oh, yeah, yeah, right. The Jalic part. Oh, well, maybe we should be going for a Croatian. Oh, no, I went to a Croatian meal once, a Croatian family meal. I was lucky enough to be invited

and everybody was allocated an entire chicken. A hot roast chicken. You're not talking like a... I grew up in a family where five of us shared one roast chicken. It wasn't like a fancy little baby,

like... God, no. It wasn't, what do they call them? A spatchcock. No, it would have been a number 16. It was a full-grown, hormone-injected, big bad boy,

GMO to F. And did they eat it all? All of it. That sounds amazing. I couldn't finish mine. That's something. I couldn't finish mine. That's something. I couldn't finish mine if somebody else polished it.

I've also got... They're not afraid of a feed. I'm also half British and have a British passport so I should probably support England because I don't want that taken away from me.

By the way, Croatians are pretty hot too. So the winner of this game will meet France. France. In the final. So the winner of this game will meet... France. France. In the final.

In the final. France beat Belgium. Okay. Croatia. We'll keep you updated. No, because you know I'm big on my football headline puns. Yeah, well you've got a bit of time to work on that. Croatia later.

Sure. Again, you've got a bit of time to work on that. So rushed into it. Later. We'll keep you bit of time to work on that. So rush into it. Later. We'll keep you updated throughout the morning on that score. But a big show ahead this morning. Nine o'clock this morning, we kick off our Ticket Blitz. Tickets every hour until five o'clock to see Sam Smith live

when he's here in New Zealand in November. Heartbreak Island, the final last night. Georgia and Harry join us in studio after, like, aren't we going to get a spoiler alert? Oh, well. Spoiler alert, they won. After they almost didn't win, pulled it through at the end. So they join us in studio to chat about their whole experience. And before seven this morning, we used the news Instagram feature last night.

Ask me a question. Oh, yeah, we were in the early ones. Every boring person who you've never had any interest in asking anything Wanted to just ask me a question It did get a bit much didn't it But we're going to Get all the questions That we were sent

And there were quite a lot We're going to put them in a bowl And we're going to pull them out before 7 And answer them And then your wife goes home with the question That you pulled out of the bowl No that's a different bowl party Alright you lot Listen up it's story time And your wife goes home with the question that you pulled out of the bowl. No, that's a different bowl party.

Oh, okay. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time, three news headlines for three stories that I've found that are weird, quirky, unusual news stories. You must pick one of the three following headlines. Headline one, father and son get stuck. Headline two, Thailand villages stunned. And headline three, 911, what's your emergency?

There's a pony on my roof. Those are your three headlines. I've got to hear the pony on the roof. Because, you know, sometimes you hear, if you've got a tin roof, you'll hear a larger bird, your miners, maybe the local neighbourhood Pidsian or a dove, and you hear it on the roof and it sounds like a teeny tiny pony. Like they do, they scuttle along.

Have you ever heard a rat in a ceiling or on the roof? Oh, horrible. Horrible. Y horrible. Horrible. Yuck. Horrible, eh? I've got to know how there's a pony on the roof. I don't even want to entertain the others. I think I might know how it happened.

Well, are we going there? Yes. Oh, we going there. We going there. Oh, girl, we going there. How do you think it happened, Megan? Did it happen in Japan? Yes.

Yeah. Okay, share all your fun little giggly girl guys. Let us in. They've had floods. Well, yeah. By the way, did you hear they were like, oh, we've got to evacuate like two million people. Yeah.

I was like, I didn't think about that for the logistics of that. The highest it got was 3 million people had to leave their homes, not all like completely leave the area, but leave their homes to seek higher ground. That's the equivalent of every New Zealander, apart from Aucklanders, having to get out of their house. That's crazy, eh? And at least seek like the neighbourhood hill.

Would that have been more than when they said to everyone in Florida, get out? Like, last year when that big hurricane came? And those freeways were just packed? Oh, yeah. Crazy. Anyway, the floods, the worst floods, I think, ever in recent memory to hit Japan.

Insane pictures on the news. Well, anyway, staff working at a farm, and a therapy animal called Leaf, a pony, were worried that Leaf was swept away into a swollen river and would never be found again. Oh no. Nine

year old Leaf, they feared, had drowned after a search party failed to find their miniature pony. But, as floods cleared, their little horse, the miniature pony, was spotted on the roof of the house. Oh, leaf, get down from there. There's a photo.

You can Google along at home. It's pretty cute. And it's just like, help, I don't know how to get down. But then, you know, you get too many leaves in your gutter and it blocks it, doesn't it? This is true. The horse was covered in mud and had injured one of her legs. But, yeah, they managed to get it down.

This is where I reckon it's a real shame that we don't have the ability to strap a computer on its head and it can tell us what happened. Like animal translation. Oh, I can't wait for that. No, that was Black Mirror. That was that episode of Black Mirror with the hamster. Oh, yeah. That was pretty scary.

Yeah. Don't say anything more about that episode because I feel like you can't. Yeah. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen that. How did they get it done? Because you'd see it up there and be like, well, that's where Leif ended up,

but it can't jump. So getting it down? Because you'd see it up there and be like, well, that's where Leif ended up. But it can't jump. So getting it down off the roof. I'd open the window because the photo you just showed me, it was beside a window. I'd take the window out and be like, come in here. Through the window, lured with a carrot. If you need a pony off your roof. Vaughan Smith. This guy.

Pony rescue. Lured with a carrot. Yeah, so they took the window out and they were able to pull it through. And then obviously down the stairs of the house. But the miniature pony lives. That's good. Yeah. It's a happy ending.

That's really happy. F.M. I just said before which type of women has the best sex. Well, a public health survey, this was only done last month, of 7,000 women. They found that women between the age of 25 and 34 did not enjoy their sex life. Well, that's not good, is it? So when you get a bit older, 55 to 64-year-olds, they obviously get better with age because 29% said they didn't enjoy. So less.

Women, when you're older, it's more fun, obviously. But they have also asked the question, when you're having sex, like, do you hit a home run? How often do you hit a home run? Right. Do you know what I mean? I know what you're getting at. Do you know Vaughan?

Baseball. Yeah. Yeah. So heterosexual women 61% of the time get a home run. Yeah. Which is like just over half I guess. Shouldn't you say they have their home ran? Sure.

But they get a point. But for... They get to their destination. Yep we got it. Okay. But for... They get to their destination. Yeah, we got it. Okay, there we go. For lesbian women, 75% of the time. And then another study, which was done in America, says lesbian women 86% of the time.

Well, that's not a surprise because they know the secrets. Yeah, they know. Yeah, they do. They know the Chamber of Secrets. They don't need the manual. No. So the same study was done on men, and no surprise, it's heterosexual men 86% of the time.

And then in America, 95% of the time. But what about gay men? It doesn't change much, 85% of the time. Because the game's over once they get to home, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's like they hit the cricket ball into the paddock and they don't want to go get it, so they're like,

I'm not playing anymore. Yeah. That's why you should always let the woman bat first. Yeah. And then when you get them out, you get to have a turn. Yeah. And then... That's very considerate.

But they might sulk and just want to go back inside anyway. Who? The woman? Yeah, if she gets out. Now, mate, if you can talk them into getting outside to play cricket, then we're right. But not always, like, consensual cricket. Yeah, right, obviously. Always, obviously.

But, like, it's just getting them out to play cricket that's the hard part. Because it's quite hard to play cricket with a headache or when you're tired. Or if you've had a big day and you're sick of dealing with screaming children. Right. So could the key be, if your sex life is terrible, as a woman, to become a lesbian? Yeah. I mean, that's how simple it is. From my limited knowledge of homosexuality, or just human sexuality on a whole.

That's how easy it is. Yeah. Yeah. Nailed it. Yeah. Just change. Yeah. And then change is. Yeah. Yeah. Nailed it. Yeah. Just change. Yeah. And then change back.

Sure. Yeah. The Top Six with Vaughan Smith. Hello. Today's Top Six are Top Six ways to spot a fake homeless person. I've just been reading a story about fake homeless in Auckland banking $100 a day. I don't know exactly what constitutes fake homeless

in this journalist's report. Well, I think they said they had a house to go to. Yeah, but they might not have a job. No, no, no, no job. And, you know, this is how they get out there and get money. But from what I can read of the story, Anna, you know better than anyone,

you walk through Auckland City every day on the way to work. There's numbers have increased. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah, it has. The last few years, even I've noticed I don't go downtown Auckland much, but then when you do go down, you always notice numbers are increasing. I think it's a really sad reflection of society

that people feel forced out there. Some of these people they're saying do have places to go, but then I also think if the places that they've been allocated, perhaps they don't feel safe there and they've been on the streets for so long and feel safer there, that doesn't also constitute fake homeless. But apparently there's people out there who literally have a home but just go and sit on the street.

Hard to spot. You'd rather help someone that doesn't have a home, though, wouldn't you? Because that, to me, that a lot of people... Someone who's just angry with their mum and dad. That's just hustling, isn't it? Yeah. If they're if they've got a home, but then they don't know. So that doesn't mean that they're not struggling.

Yeah, I know. Yeah. That's a hard one. Do you remember in the UK they followed that homeless guy who had an Audi in the car park? Oh no, that's BS. Do you remember that? But was he living in the Audi? Well, he was driving home! He was doing it, they did

a big expose on him. It was in the UK. I remember reading about it. There was a guy in Hamilton and he was doing it rough, quite famous in Hamilton. And one day I just stopped and I said to him I just was interested. And I just said, where do you live? And he said I'm in kind of a

community provided housing. But I just said, where do you live? And he said, I'm in kind of a community provided housing. But I like to get out during the day and I like to come down here and bang on this drum thing. And I was like, do you get by enough? And yeah, he said how much he was making in cash a day was more than I was earning as an intern. Yeah, I was like, huh, scooch over a little. But the top six ways

to spot a fake homeless person. And this, I think, kind of applies not just in Auckland, but, you know. Okay. Number six, they've got a posh accent.

Okay. So, if they're like, excuse me, Governor, would you be able to spit a shrapnel through a sixpence?

That would be a fake homeless person. Right, okay. Unless you're in 1920s England and they're also a chimney sweep. Number five on the list of ways to spot fake homeless people. They're a mannequin dressed up and they're not saying anything

or moving anything. Yeah. That'll happen. You've got to look. It's a giveaway. Yeah, that'll rightly give the way. Or if you're an introloquist dummy. Like when they talk,

the guy sitting next to them's mouth's moving a little bit. That's a fake homeless person. That's a giveaway. Number four, they're skiding about how they're making $100 a day and if they can do this for a few more months, they'll be able to afford to pay this year's rates for their three-bedroom home in an East Auckland suburb.

That would also be a fair indicator. Talk about paying rates. It's a homeowner's curse. It is, yeah. Privilege. Number three on the list of the top six ways to spot a fake homeless person, they get dropped off by their butler in a Maserati. That's a giveaway.

It's a giveaway. They're not really in need. No. Ah, they're homed, not homeless. Number two on the list of the top six ways to spot a fake homeless person, their collection container is a Puhui Valley Greek yogurt container. Oh, not homeless. Number two on the list of the top six ways to spot a fake homeless person. Their collection container is a Poohoi Valley Greek yogurt container. Oh, fancy yogurt. Fancy yogurt.

Fancy yogurt. I'd be asking questions. Yeah. Especially if, like, you know, the tinfoil seal has been, like, completely removed. And, you know, it feels good when you get it all off in one. Oh, I hate it when it's tearing around the edges. And the number one way to spot a fake homeless person is if you're

going to give them a sandwich and they ask them if it's gluten free bread. That would be my... Yeah, your tip. I'd smell a rat. That's today's top six.

It's Enohora to Matariki, the whale. Wellington's Free Welly. Yeah, Free Welly. I like that name better. Do you? I don't the whale. Wellington's Free Welly. Yeah, Free Welly. I like that name better. Do you? I don't know.

Well, I don't. But Free Welly was never Willie's name in the movie. I know. The whale in the movie was Willie. Yeah. It was about freeing Willie. Yeah. Free being, you know, a verb.

Well, you could free Welly from the harbour. But then it would just be Welly. What's gone? The whale has gone. Yeah, apparently it flapped its little tail last night and said, see you, see you later, to Wellington and headed back out towards the Cook Strait. A photographer called Victor took the photo

from the Wahine Memorial Park as the whale departed. But the whale might just be going out to check the mail. Or popping down the shops. Yeah, down the shops. Get some krill, come home. Yeah. It could be back, but hasn't been seen since. Well, this is either way great news for fireworks lovers

because that was postponed last week, wasn't it? That's right. So does that mean this weekend back on? Yes. Hold on, I'm just going to Google very quickly Wellington weather. Polite and being like, I'll let you do the fireworks and then I'll be back. Saturday, Sunday's looking alright too.

Pretty good. Yeah, yeah, Monday, Tuesday's packing it apparently, but Saturday, Sunday could be pretty good for fireworks in Wellington. Alright, next on the show, we've been sent a heap of questions. FVMZM is our Instagram. Trying out the new Ask Me a Question feature. And we asked you to put your questions to us last night. And we're going to go through a whole bunch of them next in an Ask Me Anything.

So I hope you're prepared for the curly questions, Megan. What's that look on your face? It's fear. It's just unadulterated fear. Pure fear. Yesterday, Snapchat releasing a new feature. Sorry, Instagram releasing a new feature. Asked me a question.

And you'd say by the end of last night it was wearing a little bit thin on Instagram because everybody was asking me a question. Yeah. I just scrolled through my stories. I was like, I don't have one for you. I don't have one. This French photographer that I follow, he said, ask me what?

Oh, no, no, no. There's a reason I mentioned that he's French, but I do follow only foreign, non-English speaking photographers. No, but he was like, and I was like, what? But I knew it was in the little box. So he was like, ask me a question, Rainbow Warrior.

Yeah. I can, the French will never forget. And I was like, oh, and then I clicked through and all the questions are in French and all the answers are in French. I was lost. Okay. Well, all of these questions,

we asked you for your questions last night on our Instagram and all of these are in English. And are we ready? Yeah. Are we ready? Yeah. Megan? Yeah.

We've got a lovely, again, let's mention the lovely jar, Caitlin, from the kitchen. It's like a squat cravat. It's Teddy Time Posy Glass Vase, available at teddytime.co.nz. Who are they paying for that? No, give them a free... No, you've just said what a lovely vase it is. It's lovely. It's like a good lolly jar, too.

That one? Yeah, and if your hand's too big, you can't get it in there. Yeah, because if your hand gets too fat, you can't raise your lollies, and that's the end of cutting. You should stop. All right, we've put all the questions into the glass jar. Vaughan. Hey, I'm drunk right now.

Your show is lit. Just wanted to know if Fletch was keen for a BYO. Now, I don't have who sent that in. That's one thing I will mention is when you share the responses, it doesn't say who asked the question, but when you ask the question, the person you're asking can see all your details. Yeah, and I don't think everybody

knew that last night, judging by some of the questions I got. I think they were getting in and they thought they were asking them anonymously. They answered on your behalf anonymously, but we can see who's asked. Because is there that site where you can ask and that app where you can ask anonymous questions? Was that Ask.fm?

Yeah, Ask.fm or something, and there's a few of them. You didn't answer my question, Fletch. What was yours? It's not suitable for the radio. Oh, you know, it's not. Megan asked me a horrifically gross question. I'm not putting that on my Instagram. Oh, really?

Did we answer this? Are you came from BYO? It depends where. Because I've got food poisoning. Should we say this? Yeah. Did you hear this? He's got Campylobacter. As a Campylobacter survivor, I'm not okay with you hear this? He's got Campylobacter.

As a Campylobacter survivor, I'm not okay with you being like, I've got Campylobacter. I'm like, I was in a hospital. Where's your runs? No, I've been, no, I've had them,

but I'm all, I don't think cancer survivors get together and quarrel about whose cancer was worse. Yeah, it's not a competition, Megan. I'm sorry, mild melanoma removal. You can't come into our chat.

He's got Campylobacter. It's medically proven. This is another, what do you call it, notifiable disease I've had. Because I've had the Giardia a couple of times. Does the Giardia leave you more open to Campylobacter? I don't know. But Caitlin, did you feel all right after that BYO?

Because I don't. That's what I'm pointing feel alright after that BYO? Because I don't. That's what I'm pointing the finger at. Oh, that was ages ago. That was like two weeks ago. Well, of course, it takes a few days for the... No, it takes 24 hours. No, it takes two... It can take up to 11.

It's normally two to five days, and then you find out you've got it. I don't know whether people eat something in there straight away, and they're like, oh, I've got food poisoning because it takes a little while for the bacteria to multiply. It takes a couple of days, yeah. Anyway, I'm on antibiotics

so let's move along. I may decline depending on the food grade of the place. Question two from the Instagram ask us a question. What's something

your mother doesn't know about you? Oh, good question. Honestly, I think my mum knows everything. That I found some Christmas presents from a certain someone. Really? And that's how I worked out a certain something about Christmas. My mum doesn't know that as a curious teenager, I smoked cannabis. I'm sure she can imagine that you did, at least dabble. She said once to her friends, if it's any of our children who are going to do it, it'll be this one.

And pointed right at me. And I was right there. And I had, like, a little while before, and I was still like, freaking out. But I don't anymore. All right, next question. I choose not to. Can men drink moccas? The answer's yes.

I find this. Ask All Black Captain and regular moccacino enjoyer, Kieran Reid. Yeah. He loves a moccacino. And don't let a drink, you know, dictate your... Define who you are as a man. Yeah, define your gender.

You guys used to drink moccacinos. Fletch loves a mocca every now and then. Every now and then I'm feeling a bit volney. So if I'm having a tired day, I'm like, it's a mocca day, guys. I can't go back to that much milk. I know, it is. It's a lot of milk.

Especially when you've got Camp Lobacter. I tell you what, I'm really feeling the lactose at the moment. Are you really? Carry on, though. It just hits you and kind of gurgles straight away. This question, apart from early mornings and dealing with each other, is there any part of the job you don't like? I'm not fond of meetings.

We seem to have too many of those. Most of which could be taken care of in email form. I just don't like being told what to do in general. Put that finger down. Having a boss is something that annoys me. We're more free spirited. We just like to

do what we want. And I always bang my knee on this thing under the desk. I don't like that either. Other than that though, we're free spirited. We just like to do what we want. Yeah. You know? And I always bang my knee on this thing under the desk. I don't like that either. Yeah. Other than that though, we all. Because I got a lot of questions last night on my Instagram asking if we liked each other. For real. Mm.

No. There's just, I couldn't do this if I. I know. I mean, I don't, I don't choose to hang out with you a lot outside of this. Well, we get a lot. It's like concentrated friendship in here. You get as much friendship over like hanging out

with someone for the whole day. We get it in like four or five hours. We don't need. It's just getting in there and getting it done. Next question. Who's the best guest

you've had on the show? I'm still sticking with Cookie Monster and Elmo that time. Yeah, Ed Sheeran's always fun. He's always so nice, eh? Yeah, he's just straight up good.

It's been a while. He might be an arsehole now. What do you have for lunch at work every day? Like, we're still here at lunchtime. Get real. If I'm here and I'm like, oh my God, it's lunchtime. I just leave regardless of what's happening. I'm like, this is absolutely beyond comprehension.

Next question. This jar's got a bit stupid now that the question's a bit lower. You can tip the jar. Yeah, okay, I'm going to tip them out. Because it is a lovely jar. If your dad transitioned, would you want to see his new breasts? Like, he's standing there naked. Curiosity's going to get the better of me there.

What if they're better than mine? I'd be like, dad. He's cheated. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. He's gone against the genes he gave to you. You'd actually have gone to a surgeon. You'd have no choice.

You would see your transitioned dad at the nudist colony. Yeah. Also, would your mum stand by your transition dad? Was she still with him in this scenario? Yeah. I'd imagine so. She'd be like, that's the least of your annoying features. Yeah. I'd just be

very curious. I'd be like, you'd want to look? Give us a look. Okay. But I don't want to sexually harass my dad. Yeah. My mother now. You'd be like, you'd want to look? Give us a look. Okay, sure. All right. But I don't want to sexually harass my dad. Yeah. My mother now. You'd have to ask. Yeah, if it's okay.

What about you? John? John's boobs? What about dad? Is there some reason the thought of your dad with breasts tickles my fancy the most?

Yeah, John. I think he'd just be teamed up with the accent and his husky voice. All right, Carl, you want to see my boobs? Anyway, have a quick squeeze if you want the foot. He's about to start.

He's coming home. He's coming home. He hates football. Next question. Are Caitlin and Harry from Heartbreak Island dating? Because they should just say it. Oh, God, I would love to see this. Well, Harry's coming in.

He's coming in soon. I'm going to quiz him if him and Georgia are together. I don't reckon they are. If they're not, let's give you a date, Caitlin. It'll be so awkward if they are because I've been slipping and sliding all my way through his DMs. Has he been messaging back? Slipping and sliding.

You say you're sliding into the DMs like you're sliding into a home base. You don't say slipping and sliding like you're lubed up with Vaseline and you're like... Like an eel. Hey, Harry. Fletch. Vaughn. And Megan.

The Podcast. Sam. Yesterday after the show, we got to talk about how often as kids we had takeaways. It's a bit of a Friday tradition in our house growing up. You'd either have fish and chips. Maybe later we'd be lucky to get Maccas. Wow, really? Ooh, ooh la la.

I know. We never had McDonald's. That's very ooh la la. Yeah, my grandparents, my nan and gangie were the only people that ever bought us McDonald's. Right. Because we never really went to, they lived in Matamata, Matamata had a McDonald's. Ooh, we're Matamata, we've got McDonald's. Show offs.

But we didn't even have fish and chips. I remember going to the neighbor's place once and their mom bought bags of frozen chips and like fish fillets, frozen and stuff. But then when she'd cook them, she'd put them in newspaper and make the kids feel like they were having the fish and chip experience. I know, bless, right? So we said to mom, can you, when you do those chips in the oven the crinkle cut oven chips for a start mum stop buying crinkle cut oven chips just the straight ones please

mums love a crinkle cut oh we didn't have a deep fryer either they were always oven so they just went as hard as rocks well like can you put it in baking paper and then wrap it in newspaper and mum was like no what a stupid amount of effort. Eat it. Eat it. We were talking about how often we got takeaways. We just never had it. And that was when Megan, you said your family's big takeaway treat when your kids was KFC. You had it very rarely though, didn't you? We were fish and chips Fridays.

Yeah. If we were having takeaways on a Friday. But sometimes we would branch out and we'd get KFC. Oh, okay. Listen to how sad this is. Except we were only allowed the chicken. So we'd go and get like some chicken and we'd argue about how many pieces we need.

Never a tub. You never got a big bucket? No, just a box. That was just economies of scale stuff back in the day. Like dad could eat the cold chicken for the rest of the week. Yeah, no, just a box. And we weren't allowed, like, we'd get it home. We weren't allowed to eat it then.

Mum would turn the oven on and she would put the chicken in the oven to crisp it up and get rid of some of the extra fat. That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. So she'd give it a double cook. It would make the chicken really dry. Yeah. And yuck. Yeah. That is the saddest thing I've ever heard. So she'd give it a double cook at KFC. It would make the chicken really dry. Yeah. And yuck.

Yeah, and it felt like hot and spicy, even though it was like original recipe, because it was real crispy. See, I'm down for that. I'd be down for the extra crispiness, but having to wait. Oh, that's sad. It's hard enough driving home with it. Oh, no, there's no takeaways on record that float around a car like KFC.

Yeah. And then you get home and you are ready to eat it. Yeah. But you've got to wait another, like, 15 minutes. It's like seeing a toilet when you need to go to the toilet, but someone going like, not yet. Wait. I'm about to wear my pants.

So this was because she wanted to get rid of the fat. She wanted to be obviously healthier. She thought she was being healthier. And we would have oven fries. I'm like, you know that you can buy the chicken with fries. No, but that deep fried fries. Yeah. Not oven fried.

That was my mum's. But it was still yum. Is she still like this? No, I don't think they do KFC anymore. Because the kids are gone. Yeah. It's just off the menu. Yeah. Yeah. But was your mum like that. Because the kids are gone. Yeah. It's just off the menu.

Yeah. Yeah. But was your mum like that? Because my mum's got weird ideas. My mum's still got weird ideas of what's healthy. Like margarine? She won't eat avocados because avocados are high in fat. Yeah. Yet she'll have margarine, so much margarine with some low sugar jam as an alternative.

Yeah. Which is all like chemically sweetened. On brown bread that's twice as thick as white bread, but just because it's brown bread. It's okay. You can't rationalise with them. There was this weird period of time in the 70s and 80s where health food took a real weird turn

to whoever, whatever food had the most money to spend convincing you it was healthy, it became healthy. Well, yeah, just anything that was low fat. Yeah, but it just meant high in sugar. Exactly. So, yeah. But mums, our generation mums would be chronic for this. And I think if we asked our people to call us in

and tell us this morning of their mum's weird idea of what was healthy, we'd get a few calls. There'd be a lot of margarine. Lots of margarine. Lots of margarine. Lots of margarine. Okay, well, let's take some calls. 0800DARLS.M, you can text 9696. What was your mum's weird idea of what was healthy?

We're talking at the moment about what wacky things your parents used to think were healthy. Megan's mum used to bring home KFC and then re-cook it in the oven. Did she have a drip tray underneath to catch the... Yeah, I think so. To use later? No. Oh, God, no. My parents and grandparents had... And did you have

one of these? This is an English thing, apparently. Right. A metal container and it had a lid on it and there was hundreds of tiny, tiny holes on the top of the lid. And when you'd finish cooking in, like, lard or fat, you'd pour it onto the container. And it would stop all the bits of meat and whatever else you were cooking in that from going

in. And then you could use that lard at a later date. The drippings. The dripping, yeah. They'd be like, that's good stuff, that. But they were skinnier than us, so. I know, go figure. Maybe they were onto something. So we want to know your parents' weird idea of healthy.

Whether or not it was cooking the KFC in the oven when you got home just to get rid of the extra fat. Yep. Whatever it was. So some text messages in. In our house, somebody says porridge with a thick layer of soft brown sugar. Now, it must always be brown sugar because that's a healthier alternative to white sugar. What about raw sugar? It's not. Because it's brown.

All sugar is sugar. To the body. The body doesn't go, oh, this is brown sugar. Oh my god. Oh my god, this is refined sugar. This is raw organic sugar. Yes, still like glucose. Pancreas, back me up on this, but is this refined? Tastes like it to me, stomach.

Well, I'm not happy about this. At all. Watch out, Belle. It is sugar. It doesn't matter which one. Well, I'm not happy about this. At all. Watch out, Belle. Eddie's sugar. It doesn't matter which one. Morgan, what's your mum's idea of healthy? Well, when we were growing up, she'd always get Chinese takeaways,

and she said it's because she was getting all her vegetables in it, so that was her healthy takeaway option. That's how I would, that's how I, you know, if I get a burger, it's got lettuce, tomato in it. It's how I justify it. You break it down and then you're like the meat's the protein and then the cheese is like your calcium so really. And I need carbs for a brain function. Five plus a day.

This is five plus. This is a whole square meal. This is everything. Deep fried too. So there's your deliciousness. Does mum love her margarine as well? Oh yeah. She still loves her margarine. And every time I open the fridge, I'm like, mum, why is it still in here? It blows my mind, the range of margarines at the supermarket. Next time you go, have a look.

No, but you go home and your parents have still got the same pottle of margarine from like three months ago. A Liviano. It never goes off. It bothers me there's no mould or anything. It never changes. Thanks you're like, it bothers me there's no mould or anything. It never changes. Thanks for your call, Morgan. Sarah, what's your grandma's idea of healthy?

My grandma always, like from us being really little, always told us that ice cream helps you digest. I wish. Grandma. That's grandma's Grandma likes

Grandma's love Giving grandkids ice cream They love it I think They eat baking Treats Yeah they love it I mean she used to give us

Mars bars before breakfast What that is The coolest brand In the world That gives you chocolate Before breakfast Yeah And before diabetes

Took her lower limbs She was a real she was a real go-getter. Thanks to you, cool Sarah. Some text messages. My mum's rule was if it was deep fried, you had to have it with a side of peas. Don't know why, but we ate many KFC meals with a side of peas. What's green? Is it a veggie? Yeah.

What did someone text when they used the bread to soak up cholesterol. Cholesterol, yeah. You put anything that's unhealthy, you leave it on a slice of bread for a little while and then take it off and the bread will have soaked up the cholesterol. Because my mum was a big fan if she ever made snitchel or fried anything,

she'd put it on paper towels. Oh, yeah. But that's not a bad idea because that does soak up a bit of the fat. Yeah. But then it takes off and there's some of the crumb of the schnitzel. Did you put the schnitzel in the warmer drawer while she was getting the rest of the schnitzel ready?

While she was boiling the hell out of all the veggies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the good stuff. Hey, they fed us. I know. That was terrible. That was mean. Luckily, mum's out of the country.

I know. That's why you're sassy. I know, yeah. We're here. Somebody said, my dad would buy powdered orange juice, so like Raro or the other alternatives. Vita Fresh.

Yes. I'm thinking Vita Fresh, by the way, this dad rolls, because he believed it was essential to get vitamin C and all the things you were to weed out overnight. So everybody had to have a big glass of pounded orange juice in the morning. It was a great way to start the day. That stuff is just sugar.

Someone said, my mum always said fish was such a healthy meat before she rolled it in breadcrumbs and fried it in lard. But again, we've never been fatter. This is true. They might have been onto something.

This is true. Online shopping is growing in New Zealand and now we know which centre it's biggest in. So it's not Auckland, it's not Wellington, it's not Christchurch, but the centre that spends the most in online shopping is Taranaki. What? My home prov.

Average spend every time you buy online. Right. In Taranaki, it is $124.50 every time they bought online is the average spend. And they're working out like per capita, per person. Because surely like the bigger regions would be spending more, you'd think. No, it's average spend of each person. Wow.

Would it be because they don't have all the shops and stuff? Yeah. Yeah, maybe. So in Auckland, it was $121.70. So it's like $3 less. And in Wellington, $109.80. Yeah.

So we're spending over $100. $3.6 billion online in 2017 is what Kiwi spent. Does this just include anything that you order online? Yeah, I guess so. Okay, I would spend that. I was wondering if it was specifically clothes. No, like... Per time you spend.

Per time you spend. Every time you buy. No, heavens, goodness. Yeah, I'd say that's quite high. How much was it in Taranaki? This is the average. $124.50. So, yeah, some people are spending, like, you're buying bigger items.

Well, you might buy something that's $20 one time, but then you might buy some flights. Yeah. Oh, yeah, okay. So it's all averages. Is that counted? Well, that's online shopping. You can buy anything online. Like, I bought my outdoor furniture online, and, of course, that. It's all averages. Is that counted? Well, that's online shopping. You can buy anything online.

Like, I bought my outdoor furniture online, and of course that was more than $100. You didn't even go outdoors to buy the furniture. No. But you didn't. It's amazing. Did you not sit on the seat before you bought it? Oh, big mistake.

What are you? You're a monster. You don't buy outdoor furniture without reclining in it. It doesn't recline. It's just seats. Oh, it's terrible. Terrible. No, I mean, you recline.

You, like, lean back. You've got to work out. You get a leg up. So this is the argument. And, terrible. You recline. You lean back. You've got to work out. You get a leg up. And you've got to have a beer in your hand. I take a couple of beers to Bunnings and Montana every time I go. Just in case I see something I like, I'm like, I need to sit and have a... Oh God, I'm not that fast about it. I'm not going to sit on it every day.

You want a good cushion for your boot on. You can see that it's got a good cushion. Oh no, you can't. You've got to feel it. You're a monster. I can't believe this. So they're saying that older people... You think you know someone and then they purchase it out of virtue without sitting on it? This is classic because they're saying older people like to go in store and try it.

Sweetheart, sweetheart, this patio of yours sounds like an absolute mess. Which would be you two, older citizens, need to go and try it. We get out our gold card, we jump on some public transport, we're not allowed to drive anymore. See, I would go to the store, sit on it, and then buy it online. No, but you couldn't get it from a store. I would go to a store. You can't go to a store and get it. Sit on it.

See if it's comfortable. Search to find it cheaper online. And then say to the store, I found it cheaper online. And then they're like, please. People do that too. But only if I go to a store and I see something. Price matching. Then I Google it.

That's a real, I just can't believe you did that. Because that's a big, without sitting on it. You know I buy everything online. Oh, I can't deal with that. But then they're arguing, you know, if you want to try on shoes, go in store. But I would say go in store, try it, and then go home. That shoe store in Wellington, which has, I think, gone under, not surprisingly. The lady, old lady, had a go at me.

Because I was shopping with my friend, Morgz, and she was looking for shoes. And she was in another store. And I sent her a photo. I was like, they're here, your shoes that you want. I think they were like Chucks or something. She went ballistic at me. For sending a photo. You're going to go home and look this photo up online

and buy them. Sure am, Sue. I mean, I'll give you a chance to price match, but I always give the shops a chance to price match. I mean, I know that's not I understand the frustration,

but it's just like I go to like the cheapest gas station. I want to get everything I can as cheap as I can. So I can buy more stuff. Yeah. As cheap as I can. Yeah. Like outdoor furniture buy more stuff. Yeah. As cheap as I can. Yeah.

Like outdoor furniture without trying it. I don't know what the solution is for them, and I'm sorry, but I'm just going to keep doing it. Look, I'm sorry, but you bought this on your own. They're bringing in the online shopping tax, aren't they? So that's fair enough. That'll help people. Yeah, it is. All right.

Okay. I've got a friend in England and he said he's watching it at home because he chose not to go to the pub because he doesn't want to risk his life. I thought he was joking but his mate's at the pub and he said when they scored the goal

it just went feral. Oh, no. Like, barstools started getting thrown. If they lose, like, what's going to happen? It's, like, I know it's important, but it's football. Viva La Revolucion! Calm down.

Joining us in studio soon, Harry and Georgia from Heartbreak Island. But I want to talk about now, the police have released that they can, I didn't even know this was a thing, but they can now access driver's license photos. When I read the headline of the story, I was confused, because I thought, why do we all

have photos on our driver's license? If, what, so they can see that it's you when you give them the license? A hundy. So why do they pop back to their little police cars? Stop saying little police cars. You're going to get pulled over and then you're going to be like, oh, it's you. I'm just going to pop back

to my little police car. It's not a little police car. I'll say, alright, pull it up alongside my car and we'll have a measuring comp. Let's see who's you. I'm just going to pop back to my little police car. It's not a little police car. I'll say, all right, pull it up alongside my car, and we'll have a measuring comp. Let's see who's bigger. And if mine's any longer than yours, then yes, it's a little police car. And my bumper's kind of been hanging off a little bit, so I've got a couple of extra inches there. But it's so they can run, like, checks and see if you've got any outstanding warrants.

Because you're saying police, you're saying motorway patrol. Yeah, so that's when they go back to their little car. They check your name against if there's any warrants out for your arrest or if there's any previous. But yeah, the photo is just so literally, when you hand it to them, they can hold it up to your face and be like, oh yep,

that looks enough like you. Right. To access the photo back at the car, they've previously needed a warrant. So they couldn't, like... All they can pull up is your basic details and if you've got any outstanding issues. Now, if you've got outstanding issues,

there might be an automatic feature where then they can see that your photo matches up with the driver's license photo and the person driving in the car. But it blew my mind that they needed a warrant. They needed a specific reason to access your photo. And so all this has changed now, hasn't the car. But it blew my mind. That they needed a warrant. They needed a specific reason to access your photo. And so all this has changed now, hasn't it? Yeah, it is.

There's a new law or something? Yeah. So they can see my photo in the little car. They can go back to their little car. And on their computer system, they can pull up a photo of you. Can they use my profile pic on my Facebook or my Instagram? Or link your gram to your driver's license to the little car

cause Megan's given us her like a Tinder profile Megan's given us her profile in case she like goes missing for the news yeah yeah

don't let them use anything nasty has to be in my Instagram profile post 2015 at least eh yeah yeah nothing from 2008

when you were gothic oh but I wanted 2008 gothic no I was if I was gothic, it was way before 2008. And then they say, we've found her. And I'm like, oh my God, thank goodness. And they bring it in and I'm like, that's Amy Lee from Evanescence.

Go back and try again. She's out there. My favorite part of this is if you do get pulled over by the police and they go back to their little police car, Vaughan, they're going to pull up your photo and see you wearing a turtleneck Yeah. And a necklace. A turtleneck,

a necklace, an earring and a weird look on my face. Because we did that funny thing for the radio that time, remember? Har har har.

Yeah, that was really hard case. I always forget and they're like, oh, can we see your licence? And I pull it out and I'm like... And if you ever go missing... That'll be it.'ll be it winners of heartbreak island join us in studio harry and

georgia did we say congratulations congrats thank you thank you yeah i've got the song i've got the song i've got the song i could be heading for the wrong i need the chorus yeah You don't start with the non-chorus part. Oh, sorry. Trouble straight at the hook. There we go. There we go. What a banger. The heartbreak. Heart, heart. Okay, yeah. So you guys won $100,000 splitting it, right?

Yep. There's a Suzuki Swift and a holiday to LA. How are you going to split the Suzuki? And are you going on holiday together? Well, because I wouldn't be able to fit in a Suzuki Swift. I'd have to drive from the backseat because I'm that tall and lanky. How tall are you?

6'5". But most of that's just limb, like just legs. I say I sold 70% as leg. Yeah, I reckon at least. Right. My body's just normal human height. So does that mean one of you gets a Suzuki and the other gets a holiday?

Yeah. Okay. That seems fair. Yeah, so Harry will be going gets a Suzuki and the other gets a holiday? Yeah. Okay. That seems fair. Yeah, so Harry will be going on the holiday and I'll be in the Swifty. And she also gets diamonds too, which sucks.

Oh, yeah. Why don't you get diamonds? Because I don't win the first challenge. She won the challenge. Oh, right. So you can see who's carrying who through.

Yeah, yeah. So, are you guys still together? Take it away, Georgia. No, Harry and I aren't together anymore. What happened? I know, I hear 12-year-olds' hearts breaking. Guys, it was just last night. What happened?

I know. Oh, it was a quick turnaround, yeah? Yeah, this was filmed in summer, wasn't it? Yeah, so it was Feb is when it all pulled up. Did you last a week? Oh, we lasted a little while. A couple months, and then we realised that, like, Yeah, so it was Feb is when it all pulled up. Did you last a week? Oh, we lasted a little while. A couple months.

And then we realised that there's this whole other outside world. Like other people. Like you're not on an island anymore. Yeah, it's just completely different. And there's all these external factors and other dynamics. And we're just like, holy shit, what's going on? Yeah, absolutely. And I was back in Australia anyway So it was like It was really difficult Right

Because this would have been awkward If you were still together Because producer Caitlin You know she's got You're always flirting with her On Instagram She's my baby mama Yeah

George is right here And I know you're not together But George is right there Oh no Yeah She just said go hard Caitlin also put on like Makeup and everything today

She doesn't normally She doesn't need it She put a bit of mousse in her hair to get a bit of volume. She doesn't need it. Mousse in my hair. She did. She went... Is it true, Harry, that she's been sliding into your DMs?

I've been sliding in hers. I've been telling her that we're going to make blue-eyed babies and all. I love it. I love it. Harry's obsessed with blue-eyed babies. That's why we didn't work out. She's got blue eyes. The best eyes.

There's a lot of... You can flirt with Fletch if you like. He's the only person on the show. I'm going to go. Let's not make this awkward. It's funny when it's Caitlin. So, I mean, you said last night you were going to talk about moving to New Zealand, but you guys aren't together anymore. So are you going to come to New Zealand?

Harry does live here. He lives in Auckland. I moved here. Yeah, he moves to Auckland. Okay. Yeah, here. He lives in Auckland. He lives here. I moved here, yeah, moved to Auckland. Okay. Yeah, and I found a love of my life, Caitlin.

So everything's looking great for me. Sorry, Georgia. Are you actually single? Yeah, yeah, I am, yeah. Slide on the DMs.

You didn't see that, I just was like, winking at Caitlin. Caitlin doesn't know where to look because all the Warriors are in the iHeartRadio lounge and Harry's here. There's some eye candy out there for sure.

Georgia, let me touch on the stuff with Caitlin because I gave her a chance to say her side of the story. So your argument with Caitlin, what happened and what was the beef? I think it wasn't necessarily a beef. It was more that

you can't have a whole lot of personalities on an island and everyone's going to get along. Yeah, totally. So I was like really lucky enough to have found like really genuine friendships in, you know, waiting in Ruby. And it was never a ganging up situation. It was never like that. But it was just one of those things where you kind of just like you don't get on with someone.

And it's just, it's all heightened because you are in, you know, a setting on an island. You can't avoid them. Yeah. And I'm not someone that's going to get on air and, you know, talk about her or run her down. Not at all. It was just two very different people

with different interests, really. Given the chance, would you guys do it again? Because we have someone in the office who's applied to be. Yeah. I would recommend it. I don't know if I would do it again. I wouldn't do it again because of the anxiety and stress because we didn't know what was happening.

Obviously, you guys wouldn't know. You didn't know if you were going to shave your head or get a tattoo, Georgia. Yeah. I don't know what I was... I'm gutted. I'm gutted she did it. I questioned my sanity looking at that moment.

I'm like, Georgia, what are you doing? So what tips would you give for people that are applying? Because season two, they've decided it's happening and you can apply now, TVNZ online. Yeah, I'd say don't take it too serious. I try to make it fun the whole way through and just not look at everything in a serious manner because you can get really,

you could just go in a real manner because you can get really, like, you could just go on a real dark, wicked place in your mind if you just keep getting stuck in because you don't have your outside life, your own friends and family. It's just these other random strangers on an island. So don't take it too seriously. Have fun. Yeah, take the mickey and just enjoy the ride.

Awesome. Good advice. Good life advice. Not even if you're just on an island. Yeah. And are you willing to loan me any money? Has anyone already asked you for money? You're going to have to ask my accountant, Caitlin.

Are you sure you want to do that? She's already got the purse, Trish. This is moving really fast, guys. It's not a good idea. Give her what you wish for, Harry. Yeah, financially, she's not to be trusted or at all responsible. Well, thanks for joining us in studio, Harry and Georgia. Congrats again on winning Heartbreak Island.

Thanks very much. Is Megan smarter than a nine-year-old? Is she? Let's find out. She wasn't last time. Spoiler. For previous episodes. You didn't ask me the right questions last time.

We've got a great array of questions to ask today. Yeah, diverse sports, everything from sports, history, general knowledge, everything. None of those sound very good. We're joined by Leo who's just telling us he's on his second week of a three-week school holiday. Is that right? Yes. Is that the that right? Yes. Is that the whole school? Yes.

I thought everybody got two weeks. Well, our school gets three weeks. Or is that just what you're telling Dad? The teachers are just like, bugger off, all of you. Take an extra week. That sounds sweet. Got a wild headache and you're the cause of it. Have you done anything exciting during the school holidays so far?

No. How much homework have you done? 0. the school holidays so far? Um, no. How much homework have you done? 0.0%. Oh, he's answering in percentages. He knows percents. All right. When you know the answer, buzz in. And if you're the first to buzz in, you're the first to answer the question.

Yes. All right. Let's start with maths. Oh, come on. Put fire maths. What's three plus 12? Leo. 15.

Correct. Megan was still... Megan knew we were trying to count her fingers. You were still counting in your head. When he said the answer, I knew the answer. Okay. I need longer. I can get it.

Next question. This one's a tough one. I'm expecting this might take a little bit of thinking. What is six times 14? Oh, no. I don't even know. Leo. 84.

Yes. Yes. That was really good. I don't even know how to work that out. That was really good. I don't even know. How did you work that out of interest? Did you go six times 10 and then add a six times four?

No, it's just you half the amount of seven times 12 that you times seven by. I didn't even know that. And times it by 14. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I don't even understand his explanation. No, no, no.

I'm going to send that written down later. Enough of maths. Okay, it's 2-0. Let's move on to English. Megan, no, no. I'm going to send that written down later. Enough of maths. Okay, it's 2-0. Let's move on to English. Megan, you said this was your strong suit. Okay. So here we go. Spell presidential.

Oh, no, I don't know. Leo. P-R-E-S-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L. Correct. That didn't mean that I would have got it wrong. Okay, you go. P-R-E-L. Correct. That didn't mean that I would have got it wrong. Okay, you go. P-R-E, the same word? Yeah.

P-R-E-S-E-N. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. You're spelling present. You're spelling present, not present. Presidential. You're spelling present. Presidential.

Don't put an E in. E in. Yeah, you put an E in. You skipped the I-D after the present part. That's what they quite often say on game shows. Jill. Did he put an E in? Yeah, you put an E in. You skipped the ID after the pre-spa. That's what they quite often say on game shows. Oh, sorry, I'm just flustered. When he was spelling it, I was saying it at the same time, so I know.

You got to spell it after him, the same word, and you got it wrong. Let's move on then, because that was not Megan's strong suit. History. Do you like a bit of history, Megan? Oh, no, because I don't know the dates of everything. She was once famously quoted as saying, there it is, and why worry about it? It's already happened.

Okay, the question for history. Genghis Khan was the first leader of what empire? I'm going to have to take your answer there, Megan. No, not Genghis Khan. They do do a great barbecue. No, it's not a barbecue. Genghis Khan was the first leader of what empire? First leader?

Oh, leader. Leader of what empire? Leo. Ottoman Empire? No, not the Ottoman Empire. Similar time, maybe the Ottoman a little bit later. It was the Mongol Empire. The Mongolian Empire. Of course, Mongolians.

Mongolian barbecue. You were close, Megan. No, I knew it was Mongolian barbecue. Damn it. No point there for either of you. 3-0. I don't know what the Ottoman Empire is, just by the way. 3-0 to...

Some people that invented that thing you put your feet up on when you sit on the couch. So far. Yeah, they're big fans. Sports. Sports time. Side spin, set and slice are all terms used in which sport? Leo. Tennis. Yes, correct.

Side spin. What about serve? Or like love? That's all I've got. That's what she's got. Okay, next sports question. In swimming, how many lengths would a short course 400 metre race be? Leo. 16.

How do you know that? How do you know that? Because I swam 400 metres once. You can also swim further than me. It's a 25 metre pool. That's what short course means. It means a 25 metre pool. So you're turning more often, but it is 16 lengths.

Okay, and one final question, even though, like, you know, there's no coming back from here, but sort of a glory question. Just give me a wee hint before you tell Leah. Name a type of spider starting with the letter T. She wouldn't even buzz. Leo. Tarantula. Yes, correct.

Megan, what's that spider called again? No. How did you say it, Leo? Tarantula. Yes. Yes. Correct. Megan, what's that spider called again? No. How did you say it, Leo? Tarantula. Tralentula. No. No. I'll give you ten points if you can say it right.

Next time. Go. Three, two. No. No, no, no, no. Three, two. Say it. No.

You don't get your ten points. Congratulations, Leo. Yay. Smart young man. Smart. Taking it out. You're really smart. I don't even know what the Ottoman Empire is.

What else was there? The times tables. How to spell presidential, times tables, tennis answers, short course swimming. But look, I'm here, Leo. Look, I've got a job and... Yeah, you don't have a job, do you? Where are we running them down? He's nine years old. He's like, I don't have a job, do you? Well, we're running them down. He's nine years old.

What are you doing for a job? Leo, thanks for coming in. Thanks for playing, mate. Thanks, buddy. I think we need a nine-year-old trophy. We need a, are you smarter than a nine-year-old trophy? We do. To give out like an MVP. An MVP. Yeah, an MVP trophy. Alright, nice work.

And also, I totally believe this kid's school has only got a two-week break. He's just so smart. He's tricked everybody into thinking that's true. Yeah, totally. I'm on to love it. See you, Dan. Just a quick update. Croatia, England still locked in extra time at one all.

Oh, it's going to be a penalty shootout. That's so traumatic. If you want to see what scenes are going to be like if England loses this, look up that movie where Gerard Butler's in London and they all start getting terrorist attacked. So I'm pretty sure London's just going to set itself on fire. In fact, did London have any webcams, streaming webcams of central tourist hotspots?

It definitely would. Oh, that'd be worth a look soon. Because either way, win or lose, it's going to be feral. Yeah. And this is only a semi-final. Yeah, not there yet. If you google the word betrayal and synonyms,

you'll be given the list of words that include deception, dishonesty, treachery, treason, duplicity, falseness, trickery, unfaithfulness, Judas kiss. Oh, Judas. Trickery. Unfaithfulness. Judas kiss. Oh, Judas.

Judas. Who's Judas? Fletch is Judas. Oh, what have I done? I am Hazels, a Mexican leader. What have I done? I haven't betrayed you. What have I done?

I actually thought this yesterday as well. I thought you've betrayed Vaughn. Betrayal. How? Of the highest order. I want to hear now. For the last, I'd say at least five years, we've developed a tradition around this time of the year.

We've attended a world press photography. Okay. Exhibition. Yes. And it's quite an intense exhibition. It's not like... It's on at the moment. There are some beautiful photos of wildlife,

but also like... Horrendous photos. Horrendous photos of what humans are capable of doing to each other and other animals. We saw Mexican beheading that year, didn't we? Shooting at a press conference. Completely uncensored photos of some heinous crimes that have happened around the world.

But, you know, beautiful photos. Well-taken photos. Yeah. And the content's very confronting, but, you know, a timely reminder of, well, it's not perfect. It's a pretty good place to live. This little island of ours.

I always walk out thinking, God, we've got a great hair. We've got a great hair. Yeah, and Fletcher always says to me, hey, the World Press Photography exhibition's coming up. And we get our tickets and we go along. Last year we took Caitlin. Oh my gosh. We won't take her again.

We understand it was an emotional bit. She started like loud crying and it's in a very... Like you hear of people walking around. It's wooden floors. It's always very echoey and you just hear. It is. It is.

The content's ultra confronting. And I don't know. I would never like take my kids there. It's not something I think they need to see. But, you know. Kids do go though. I know. Where there was that kid there last time.

There were some photos from Kenya this year that I thought would make you cry. Because you just went to Kenya. And I was like, oh, Caitlin, you're bawling over it. Anyway, look, it's not about Caitlin. It's about the fact that you went without me and now you've broken our streak and now we have to start again. See, I remember you saying, only was it a week or so ago, you were like, the world press

exhibition's coming up and Vaughan's like, oh yes, we simply must go. We must. That's not how I remember it. I remember you being lukewarm slash not that interested. Because it's an established tradition. I don't need a like. I don't remember him being lukewarm. I thought at the time, I was like, Vaughn doesn't seem that into it.

I'll go with another friend. So that's where the problem starts. Okay. I thought you were by yourself. It's like we've lost our snap streak. Our snap streak. Or one of those couples that's broken up for two weeks and got back together.

Yeah. Restart the clock. Judah, you are Judas. Yeah. Did you take someone else? Yeah, I did. Why didn't you double check with Vaughn? Why didn't you double check with Vaughn?

Who, by the way, his wife and children were away yesterday, so it was an open. It was the perfect time. He was doing nothing yesterday. It was the perfect time. I know. You're in so much trouble. I honestly thought you were just like, oh, no.

I got a lukewarm. Double check. Couldn't be bothered. Well, now I can't go. Why can't you go? You can still go. I can't go. I can't go by myself.

I'll go again with you if Caitlin comes. Oh, no, because I can't go with Caitlin again. Why? I really want to go. Please come. Why do you want to go? Why would you put yourself through it? Because I want to feel cultured,

and it's really good to have a cry once in a while, and I haven't cried in like three days. Three days? Well, I just don't want to put myself through it, because I've seen some of the photos that are there. It's too much for me. But then you'll just feel so cultured. I don't know if I would.

I feel disappointed in humanity. It's very reflective upon what sort of horrible creature we are capable of being. Well, you should go by yourself, maybe. Yeah. That's what you say to a friend when you've shafted them. Yeah. Just, you go. You go by yourself. It'll be... Or, do you know what's worse?

I'll go again with you. I mean, I've seen it, but I'll go again. Yeah! It's like you're re-watching a Netflix show you said you were gonna watch together and you've lied to me and you're re-watching it. I know you know what's about to happen. I don't want your pee watch. I don't really want to go again because it's $15. I'm not paying $15 again. Didn't we find some cheap tickets last time?

I don't think I paid $15. I'm not going for $15. See what I mean? He's meh about it. My favourite part about it is you get so excited about it, you buy tickets and then always forget. It's the one time you forget to get the money back off me. I don't think I've ever paid.

What about the share tickets? I've paid you back for share tickets. Thank you very much. I got a bloody, I got almost a full docket print off when you bought our share tickets. My Lord. He wanted to go A class to share.

We're going to share. We're going to share. He wanted to go A class. I was like're going to Cher. We're going to Cher. He wanted to go A class. I was like, look, I love Cher as much as the next man or woman. No, it was Laura that wanted to go A class. Yeah, and you were really easy. You were only paying for one. I've got to pay for two.

I'm taking two. Okay. Taking my wife. Well, we can mend the friendship. This is my new rule with Charlotte. I've got to take her when I go and see gay icons or I get a bit carried away. Hookups and stuff. With men.

Oh, you're always doing it, aren't you? Always. Always. All right. Fact of the day, about High School Musical. Any fans of High School Musical? I've never seen a High School Musical. Caitlin's putting her hand up.

We're all in this. All of us back here. James A. Yeah, that was like my high school drama. James Lofts. All through high school. Was it? It was High School Musical.

Vanessa Hudgens, was she like your... You can escape it. Bit of a crush of yours? Not really your cup of tea, you're shaking your head. More of a... Not a shake, it's more of a... Don't say Ashley Tisdale. I don't know what you mean.

She was mean to me. No, not that way, yeah. Why was Ashley Tisdale mean to you? It was her and Hayley Joel... No, Hayley Joel Osment's sister. What's her name? Remember they whispered about me and laughed? Ashley Tisdale, I watched your High School Musical. Shut up. Joel Osment's sister. What's her name? Remember they whispered about me and laughed. Actually,

Tissa, I watched your high school musical. Shut up. Hey. What were they laughing about? I don't know. Was it what you were wearing?

I don't know. It was real, like, real bitchy. Well, jokes on him because we don't have a TV show

that conference this far has been cancelled. That's true. It did get cancelled. So, na-na-na-na-na-na. And what's she doing now? Nothing. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na. And what's she doing now? Nothing.

And she pretended she directed it. Sorry. But they were mean to me. Anyway. Is this a good high school musical fact or a bad one? It's not no one's dead or anything or like incriminating. Right. Incriminating.

But high school musical is actually the storyline that they had planned for Grease 3. You know Grease? You're the one that I want. A shaman, a shaman, a shaman. Woo, woo, woo. Yeah. Yeah. When John Travolta still pretended that he liked ladies and stuff.

You have the Church of Scientology going through your rubbish if you keep this up. That'd be great. While you're in, could you clean out my bin after it's been emptied? Because there's a couple of things stuck to the bottom of it. I thought you were going to do your business idea of bin cleaning. Yeah.

Yuck. What happened to that? Well, no, you said someone said they were already doing it. Oh, okay, right. For like three bucks a bin or something, which is undercut. That's hugely undercutting yourself.

You were going to do it for 20. I looked at just getting machinery made. No way. If it was real manky, I'd judge it. It'd be a per bin sort of judgment. On the mankiness scale. On the mankiness scale. Grease, so grease originally,

after the success of the first grease that we all know, and mum will be like, we're watching this! If it's on TV, and she'll watch it through the ads and everything. So after the success of that, they had four Grease movies planned. Right. But then after Grease 2 was a total fizzer, they put them on the shelf.

They're like, we're not doing Grease 3, we're not doing Grease 4. The leftovers from Grease 3 became the basis of High School Musical. Huh. It was supposed to be centred around basketball. Really? Is that what High School Musical's got about basketball? Is this a basketball? Yes.

True Bolton, yeah. Is that Zac Efron again? Vaughn was too busy watching Pokemon. He doesn't get the reference, though. I didn't see Danny Zuko as much of a sportsman, though. No, no, I think it was... No, he tried to be a jock. Then they came back and did some light coaching or something.

What's light coaching? Like not caring so much, but still coaching. Maybe he just did it. Maybe he had to do it because of a speeding charge. I mean, I'm just filling in gaps here, but he got speeding and grease lightning. And they were like, all right, mate, it was kind of okay when you were in high school, but now it's sad because you're in your 30s.

Do you want to do PD picking up rubbish or coach these kids at basketball and then he goes back and he coaches them? I don't know, mate. That wasn't supposed to be the vibe of Grease and it ended up getting turned into High School Musical. So today's fact of the day is High School Musicals are based on the leftovers from a script for Grease 3. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. This segment of the show is where we talk about a delectable treat that is high in calories that we're not going to be able to say no to.

Yeah. And today, this one's going to hit Fletch very, very hard. But for further analysis and announcement of this, we cross to senior chicken nugget correspondent, intern Anya. Huge fan of nuggies. What news have you got for us there in the field? This is breaking nugget news,

and I need you to turn your eyes, your hearts, and your tummies to McDonald's for the spicy McNugget. When did they announce this? Yesterday or the day before? Because I saw this everywhere online yesterday and I couldn't resist. With no warning.

Just an absolute bombshell. In the nugget community, we were all taken by surprise. Yes. Now, this came hand in hand with an announcement about a breakfast burger. Have you spoken to your burger brethren? No. The consortium aren't as passionate about

burgers as we are about nuggets. But has your consortium reached out to the burger consortium to see how they're handling this AM burger announcement? No, I'm too busy with nuggets. Okay, I completely understand. So wait. When it dies down and the news cycle's getting a little quieter, you'll of course reach out.

Then we can converse. The announcement happened yesterday. Has either of you nugget aficionados tried spicy nuggets? I went straight from work to make nuggets. That's why you're our senior chicken nugget correspondent. I think I'm going to need to get that on a plaque. I think I'll... We can have that done. Investigate that after the show.

Yeah, no, they were great. Crunchy, spicy. How spicy and what sort of spice? Was it a peppery spice or like a chilli spice? Like a wicked wings. I'd say more down, if you're familiar with your Nando's chicken, it does sort of go along the lines of the peri-peri spice. So more of like a sweet tang than like a full on,

than like a hot bird. Than like a, oh, shivers, get me a glass of milk. Than a timely reminder you've got a tongue. Yeah, yeah. So I like my hate. Now, there, shivers, get me a glass of milk. Then a timely reminder you've got a tongue. Yeah, yeah. So I like my hate. Now, there's two new sauce options as well. Go on. So there's a sweet and spicy barbecue.

Sweet and spicy and barbecue. Go on. Yeah, and it was also described as tangy. Now, I wouldn't have said it was tangy. Now, there was also another option, which was aioli. Can I just stop you there with the tangy? I think that word's thrown around these days. Like, you know, it's lost all meaning, tangy.

Right, okay. Now, if you remember kiwi chips, sweet and tangy kiwi chips in the 1990s. Now, that was the last time that I ate something that was called tangy. Tangy that tasted tangy. Yes, exactly, Megan. Let's not throw around tangy. Yeah. Good Lord, that's good, yeah.

Now, you could choose between that and aioli, but I thought, I know what aioli tastes like, but this tangy, sweet and sour barbecue, sign me up. You were on a journey of discovery that day. You didn't want to stop into an old familiar. It was eat, pray, love, and I was mostly just eating. It's eat, pray, nugs. That is so good.

And did the sauce disappoint? I have to say, I won't be going back for the barbecue. The sweet and tangy barbecue sauce? Yes, I'll be going back with the aioli, back to my safe house. Could you opt for a new nugget with an old sauce? Well, that's what I'm thinking. I'm a visionary, and I think I'll go just the classic sweet and sour next time. That's what I was thinking would be your team-up, then.

Yeah, I won't be. What's the other one? I won't be dilly-dallying. Barbecue. Just straight barbecue. Standard barbecue. Sans tanginess. No tanginess. Yuck. That's madness. Okay, right. Okay, well, dilly-dallying. Barbecue. Just straight barbecue. Sans tanginess. No tanginess.

Yuck. That's madness. Okay, right. Okay. Well, thank you very much for your in-depth look at these new chicken nuggets. Are they limited time? Yeah, I think so. That's how they get you, isn't it?

Yeah. You're rushing there, looking like a fool, sweating. Oh, God, they haven't sold out, have they? No, limited time generally means a month or so. Damn it! You've got to stipulate, I've got the stitch, I'm going to need a 20-pack. Well, it's another reason why. Fat.

This is why. Fat. This is why. This is why. This is why. Fat. Fat. Ah, but I thought I'd give you an update.

Yesterday at approximately 20 minutes past eight, the nation, nay, the world, was grasped as I tried a new pillow for the first time in many years. A pillow that I'd had around that had too much stuffing in it, as it turned out. It was foam chips, not one big piece of memory foam. I mentioned that I removed three to four moderate-sized handfuls of the foam in order to find the sweet spot of pillow filling. Yep. As it had been too big previously and, you know,

just put my neck at too much of an angle that I couldn't sleep properly. Well, I kept that stuffing, as you'll be well aware. Well, because Megan and both your wife said chuck it out. Yeah, and I said I shan't. Yeah, give it to me. You don't need it. I haven't found the perfect level yet. I might have to put some more back in. Well, last night as I unzipped my pillow.

Did someone ask for this update? Yes, multiple people have asked for a pillow update. Who has asked for a pillow update? Oh, I couldn't go through all the names. Just a couple off the top of my head. Belle. Don't look in the studio. You're just looking around.

Carl. Saying names. A girl called Anna. Carl. Saying names. I've been looking around. A girl called Anna. A guy called James. Yeah, right. And someone called Caitlin that have got nothing to do with the show, but are just names that have definitely been in touch.

Right. About the pillow. So last night, it was because my wife's away, so I was sitting alone on the side of the bed. Yeah. I unzipped the pillow, and I thought, do I put the phone back in? And as I said, I would, one handful at a time until I found the sweet spot.

Okay. But instead, it was at that stage I noticed that there was grouping of pre-aforementioned foam. Right. So instead, as I zipped it open, instead of putting more in, I simply put my hand down and much like someone making a lucky dip drawer to pull a child's name out of a sack or a lucky dip drawer. Yeah. To pull a child's name out of a sack. Yeah. Or a lucky dip present. I just rotated my hand around. Right.

Aerating the foam particles. Okay. Okay. And then shook it off because the foam was stuck to my arms. Okay. Zipped it up. Fluffed the pillow. Yep.

And I believe, ladies and gentlemen, I can say to you, judging by the quality of my sleep last night. Optimum pillow level. I've reached optimum foam volume. Yep. And also foam spread. Distribution. Yeah, distribution and spread throughout the pillow. Right. Thank God.

I know. Well, we can all rest easy, can't we now? Or have I? Because, you know, it's like when there's a successful TV show or movie and then when they've done two, they're like, that's all we're going to do. And then the networks hound them. They say,

it was a boarding rating success. And then you think it's all over and then tomorrow I'll announce it's a trilogy and there'll be further pillow chat. Oh, great updates. Will there be some sort of external villain introduced

or something? Who knows? We're going to take it from here. I'll be in touch with Marvel Cinematic Universe headman Kevin Feige for an update on how to take something from, you know'll be in touch with Marvel Cinematic Universe head man Kevin Feig for an update on how to take something from, you know,

the short-sightedness to the long game. But at the moment, I can confirm comfortable sleep. Thank you very much. Great to have a pillow update. Yeah, good pillow to head levelling as well.

Very pleased. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. For more, check out ZDM online. We're the two we day with the weekend. ZDM. Very pleased.
