ZM. Hit music. Lives here. Fletch Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Thank you, Anya. Good morning. Welcome to the show. Fletch Vaughan and Megan. Minus Vaughan today, who's sick. Yeah, he's got man flu or something. I made sure to message him and be like, I want to get that lemon honey in you, babes. That's classic from him every time I'm not feeling well. It is. Although we're all feeling A bit like tickly In the throats aren't we It's that group pash We shouldn't do those

We shouldn't group kiss No especially when Someone's not feeling well Intern Anya Actually you had a couple Of sick days at the start Of the week didn't you I did

So this is all because of you Really we can pin the blame On you Yeah but I mean It's important that you Don't come to work When you're sick And I was just honouring that

You know I just really Really wanted to make sure I was not sick at all. If I could hit you with a stat, Vaughan and I combined have had less sick days than you've had in the entire time you've worked with us. But now I'm not feeling well. And I think it's because Vaughan was here yesterday when he was not feeling well. So really, I'm a team player is what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah, really. We're just infecting people at work.

There you go. You're welcome, team. We should be taking days off. Yeah, like when you came to work with chicken pox. I didn't know I had chicken pox. Just take a bloody sick day, mate. I did. I know I had to take like a whole week.

You didn't need it. Yeah. Let's touch on the drill bit that was found in somebody. How big was the drill bit that was found in somebody. How big was the drill bit? Do they use like a drill like Mitre 10 Mega or Bunnings? I don't know. Yeah, there was 63 items left in people during surgeries in the last three years.

But a drill bit, like you can understand a sponge, but how does the drill bit even come off? So the drill goes in and then you pull it out and you're like, oh, the end's not on it. It must be in this body that I'm working on. Well, you take the drill bit out to put, because sometimes you need a smaller drill bit or a bigger drill bit. Yeah, right, change it.

I'll just leave it here in the back. It just slips in. In the back, wherever you are, and then you just forget about it. Yeah. Okay. And then, like, how did they find it? Were they like, ouchies, something's jabbing into me. So many questions.

Then you go for an x-ray and there's a drill bit in you. So many questions. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. Story time. Three news headlines. Normally Vaughan and Megan would pick one headline out of the three and we'd delve into that story.

But with Vaughn away today. I get free reign. Free reign. Do what you want. Free reign. It's glorious. Okay, headline one, really grape time. Okay.

Headline two, no stars for Uber driver. And headline three, woman arrested twice for intoxication, once with cats. She a crazy cat lady. I... So no stars for Uber driver. The Uber driver's done something. Yes.

Dodgy. Very dodgy. Did he hit on the... More than that. Passenger? Okay. Yeah. Okay.

What was story number one? The grape one. Really grape time. I kind of want that. Okay. Do you know what? I will have that because there's no more

and I get to choose. Okay. Story number one, please, please. Okay, we go to the south of France now where the entries are open for the Marathon du Medoc.

I don't know if I'm saying that right, but entries are open for this marathon, which isn't your usual marathon. It's a marathon where you can take your time and appreciate the finer things in life. Is that a winery marathon? It is, yes.

So this actually started in 1985 and it's been running ever since. It's a winding course dotted with fates and celebrations and over 20 wine stops en route. This sounds like me because I've always said there's no way I can do a marathon. Also, and because it's French, it's very ooh-la-la. It's accompanied by live orchestra and delicious food. In fact, there's one photo where they're stopping at a table

and there are oysters. Yeah. See, I don't know if I could do oysters and then run. Last year's marathon runners enjoyed croissants, steak, see, I don't know if I could do oysters and then run. Last year's marathon runners enjoyed croissants, steak, oysters, cheese and ice cream as they gingerly jogged through the vineyards of France. Gingerly jogged. I think looking by the photos, a lot of English people crossed the channel for this. Yeah, and they didn't actually run across the line, they fell across the line.

They fell across the line. And fancy dress is, it's not compulsory, but it's encouraged. So it's almost like a sevens. People dressed up for the sevens doing this marathon. How many people actually finish it? That's still a long way. It looks, like looking at the photos, it does look like hundreds of people do this. If not thousands.

You've got six and a half hours to finish. How long does it take you to run a marathon? Like the average person? Oh, the average person might do it in, I don't know, five, four, five, six hours. Okay, so it's not actually that much time. Yeah, but I don't think they care if you finish,

to be honest. It sounds like my kind of marathon though. Well, yeah, because how long is a marathon? 40 something Ks. 42, I don't know. sounds like my kind of marathon, though. Well, yeah, because how long's the marathon? 40-something k's? 42, I don't know. A long way. Yeah, that's a long one. I don't think anyone's finishing, to be honest. But if you do find yourself in France in September

on the 7th, it's about £88. So $160 New Zealand dollars, which, when you think about it... And drinks and everything is inclusive. I think that's included, yeah. So that's really cheap. Yeah. Like if you're looking at a bottomless brunch. Just don't intend to finish it and

do like a jogging bottomless brunch. Exactly. Oh, by the way, they also have a 10k as well. Oh, okay. Which you know, probably more easy. Sounds more like me. Australia's Northern Territory has had to stop using its unofficial tourism slogan. So it's unofficial, but they were embracing it and they were doing merchandise. Well, they were embracing it until the backlash.

Yeah. Everyone was on board until this happened. And we're talking about it. Northern Territory NT. Yep. Their little catchy slogan was, see you the letters, see you in the NT.

So see you in capitals in the little NT. You can see where I'm going with this. And the in the was real little. Real little, in the middle. Yeah. One of the most offensive words that you can say. I know, we're not allowed to say it. You've got the broadcast standards list, Caitlin.

I do. It's number one on the list. It's number one on the list. You'd say around the world, like, we're pretty loose with that word in New Zealand too. Not close enough to say it on the rain. No. But in terms of when you go to America or the UK and you say it, people look at you and they're like, what did you just say? You're like, oh, sorry, I'm from New Zealand.

Yeah, we call people good ones all the time. Yeah. So, yeah, it says CU in the NT. And then down the bottom, there's another tagline that says, the top end different from the bottom end. So, it's all around pretty offensive. It's just crass, isn't it? Yeah.

When you look at the little logo. Logo, yeah. logo, slogan, Logan. Logo? Yep. A slogan? A slogan logo? No, a slogan. That would be a slogan, wouldn't it? A Logan. A logo slogan. Oh, you've just invented a word. Logan.

Okay. You're a marketing genius. Thank you. Just like purely accidental. But when you look at the logo for it, it just looks like it says the word. The bad swear word. So there was jandals where if you wore them in the sand, it just looked like you were printing the word in the sand. And yeah, they've said, okay,

we realize now after people complained that it's not acceptable. This is the place that families like to enjoy and the slogan is actually quite degrading to women. So those are negative words and put downs used commonly towards women. But I mean, we're talking about it, aren't we? Well, yeah. I mean, Northern Territory, whereabouts is that?

Well, I've just Googled. Alice Springs and stuff. So it goes from, yeah, it goes from like Ayers Rock, Alice Springs up, and then it's Darwin right at the top. Oh, you never really hear much about Darwin. You don't hear good things about Darwin. Okay. I think there are crocodiles that I'm off already.

So it doesn't necessarily make me want to go to Darwin. No. Any more than it would have before. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Breaking news. It's right up there with a terror story

or a death of a celebrity, but Facebook and Instagram are down and have been for an hour, so take a moment there. What do we do? I don't know. We were going to send each other a message on the group chat,

but we couldn't. Had to use email. Email. Yeah, yuck. It was yucky. Or Twitter. I'd have to re-download. Email. Yeah. Yuck. It was yucky. Or Twitter. Yeah.

I'd have to re-download that app. Oh, yuck. Horrible. We've all been told off collectively as, well, this is more North Islanders, the Why We're a Thermal Resort. That has been closed down for a year now. It's been quite a while. Yeah. And the photos are so sad.

Well, this is a problem. Because a lot of people have been, even if you weren't in Auckland, a lot of people when they did visited. Yeah. You know. And it has been closed for a year. It's waiting for renovations apparently. But it's kind of in a bad state.

Oh, yeah. It's been tagged as well. You know, it's all in disrepair. But people want to get cool grams and take photos. And then I don't know what happened yesterday. There was a story going around being like haunting images from the tragic Why We're a Thermal Resort. I know, it looked real sad. I mean, I know they put a sad dark filter on them as well, but that added to it.

Where did they get those photos from? Well, I guess someone went in there, didn't they? Because it's been closed and a spokesperson for the property has said, we totally get the curiosity around the current state, but we need to remind people that any access without consent is unauthorised and not only are they trespassing on private property, but they're also putting themselves and others at personal safety risk. Been told off.

Been told off. So, I don't know if they got authority yesterday to get those photos that were printed on news sites, or whether they got them from someone who shouldn't have been there. But you're probably right, like, blame Instagram. I mean, blame the news sites as well, but Instagram, I follow some amazing, like, abandoned accounts.

And you see, like, before and after photos. Amazing. And, like, before and after photos. Amazing. And like, of your back looking off into the distance, like, oh, look how like tragic this is.

There's one of someone like lying in the pool of like tiny bit of water and it's all like gross and like green. Yeah. So I don't know

that I would have done that, but man, it's a cool photo. Or for the gram. Looks great on the gram. I mean, you'll probably get a trespass order for two years, but worth yeah worth it yeah not encouraging you to do that

you've been warned they'll charge you if they catch you you might have seen this story in the last couple of days hashtag trash tag trash tagging so you're putting the hashtag trash tag on photos well it's it's it it's the latest challenge. And this is a good one. Because, you know, normally when it comes to internet challenges, it's, you know, remember planking? A little bit. Oh, yeah. Like that was ridiculously pointless.

Yeah, that's on the lower end. This one, though, is good because it is encouraging people to clean up and then basically brag about it. Oh, okay. I've seen this. This is how the Trash Tag Challenge works. You find an area that needs some cleaning. Yeah. Like, I don't know, the beach, a park, anywhere in your kind of community.

You take a before photo. You take action and you clean it up or just find someone to clean it up. And then you take an after photo and then you hashtag it so i don't know you could do a split screen photo but what's the point of this so you'd get kudos out of it bragging yeah it's like hey guys i cleaned up okay i mean it's it's good because the outcome is positive well um, 26,000 posts have been tagged with this tag in this news story that I'm reading, which came out on the 13th, so yesterday,

New Zealand time. I can't search the hashtag now, but it is kind of growing. I did see one yesterday where a woman's like, it took me far less time to pick up 10,000 cigarette butts than I thought it would. And then like showed the jars that she'd filled with cigarette butts. That tone, you're indicating that she's what, bragging?

Well, I was, I kind of, okay, I kind of looked at it and was like, what's your point? Do you want a medal? But like, of course people shouldn't be flicking them out. And it's wonderful she picked them up. See, like, I'm not going to pick up ciggy butts. Yeah, because that's people's, that's 10,000 people's mouths have been on that. I know, I was, like, I'm not going to pick up ciggy butts. Yeah, because that's 10,000 people's mouths. I know, I was also like, I hope you had gloves on. Yeah, wear gloves.

Wear gloves. You don't want to catch something. No. But it seems a bit silly that you're like, oh my God, look what I did. But then I was thinking about it. It's an ultimate humblebrag. I have a feeling that Vaughn's done that before, didn't he?

Well, he's sick today, so it's something he would do. He can't defend himself. He can't defend himself. I'm sure he walked around a beach and was like, look at everything I've picked up, which, I mean, is still great. Look at this guy. He's sitting on a stool or a branch in a huge park littered with rubbish. Like, it looks like. That's so covered in rubbish, it looks like he did it himself.

Wow. And then look at that. It's all clean and he's cleaned it up with all those bags of rubbish. All that rubbish. Tipped it out and then picked it back up again. Well, if you want to go to that extent. That's totally what some Instagrammers are going to do. Use the hashtag trash tag.

I don't know. I'd love to see. Because otherwise people won't know. I'd love to see a trash tag New Zealand. Yeah. NZ. Yeah. Because I mean, we're not as messy as you go to some countries and you drive down the motorways and you're just like, ugh. Was it that beach in Mumbai that's been cleaned up after? Yes, that's another trash tag challenge. But that took, like, years.

Years. Maybe that's where this was born from. I mean, the outcome's good. As long as you're actually picking up rubbish and not littering and then picking it back up again. That's a lot of effort to go to. For a great, great gram. Fletch.

Vaughan. And Megan. The podcast. It's a lot of effort to go to. For a great, great gram. Measles has become a real problem, not only in New Zealand, but around the world. And it's due to anti-vaxxing, right? Well, there's still a lot of poorer countries that have an issue with it. But now because of the anti-vaxxer movement in developed countries where it was pretty much eliminated. It's coming back. It's coming back. It's coming back. Do you know, the World Health Organization says in its top 10 concerns of health for the world,

measles is one of them. Really? Yeah. Along with things like Ebola. Oh my God. Okay. Like, that's nuts, eh? So in Italy, there is a new law that has been passed

and parents risk being fined up to 500 euros. So that's almost $1,000 if they send their unvaccinated kids to school. So children under six can just be turned away. So the new law came in after the measles cases. And yeah, basically if you go to school and you're not vaccinated you'll be turned away and your parents will be

fine. Is that because Vaughan's away sick today and I know he's very passionate about this and I completely agree but I guess having kids, it's quite a stressful time and I know, Producer Kayleigh, your sister's in Christchurch and I'm seeing a lot of my friends in Christchurch and they are so worried at the

moment. Well, my sister's got an 18-month-old baby who goes to daycare. Who's only had one shot. She's had one shot. So I think, I mean, hopefully they'll get another one today. But if not, Mama Marit, Mummy Marit's going to save the day. Come up from Fairleigh. Bring an injection with her.

No, I think they'll have to go down and actually do it the proper way. But yeah. Right. Wow. Because they're treating people in like car parks. Because they won't let them go into. Because it's so highly contagious. Good Lord.

So apparently you can even catch measles if someone was in the room and has left the room. Up to two hours. Yeah. That's crazy. Well, I'm going there next weekend. To Christchurch. Well, and that's the thing, because adults as well, if you were born, what, between by the end of the 60s into the 90s, you might need a booster shot. Yeah.

And in Christchurch, there just aren't enough. They've just run out, haven't they? Well, they've sent lots of vaccines down to Christchurch, but it's still, I mean, not getting to everyone. Here's a stat that I found in a news article I was just reading. Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year. So let me understand. In 2017, 110,000 people died from measles. Oh my God.

Mostly children under five in poorer countries. But so it can kill, like this is why I don't understand parents who are listening to the wife of like a league star or like, you know, people that aren't doctors. So anti-vaxxers' main concern is the child will get autism. Am I correct? Well, and allergies.

Allergies and stuff. So you are so serious about your child not having an allergy or autism, which hasn't been proven. It hasn't been proven that you'd rather them die. Just a study came out last. I know it's nuts. Oh, God, I don't want them to have autism. I'd rather them die.

And so now, yeah, developed countries like our country are seeing a rise in cases because of anti-vaxxing. And it's just this crazy and people... That makes no sense. Like, do you want your kid to die? No. Yeah. We don't even have kids, but, you know, it's... Oh, that's just madness

to me. It's madness, isn't it? So, I mean, yeah. And they're not old enough to do it themselves, but then we're hearing from a lot of people who have found out later in life that they're not vaccinated and are going to do it themselves. On their wilds, yeah. Nine minutes away from seven. On a brighter note, we've got $20,000 that you

can win. Imagine how many vaccines you could buy with that. You know, I come from a nudist family and I'm all about like de-stigmatising the naked body. I thought you preferred naturist. Oh yeah, naturist. Oh, yeah. Naturist.

Same thing. Because your parents go to that nudist park in Nelson where they caught the arsonists. Yeah. In Nelson. Just outside. And there was a nude guy in the photo on the news site had his bum in it. When the police turned up, they didn't put clothes on.

They're like, g'day. It's a police car with his bum in the shop. You'd think they're like, well, we've caught the arsonists. We'll quickly go put our knickers on and then go back and meet the police. But no. There's no shame in it. Yeah, okay. And so, yeah, while I'm from a naturist family, I can't condone this activity.

A warning for people in Dunedin because police are looking for a naked man. He was acting indecently, though, on St. Clair Beach. Right. So he was spotted touching stuff himself. Right. Just before 6pm on Tuesday. Goodness me. That's when we should be having dinner. You go take the dog for

a walk after dinner or just before and you see a naked man fondling himself. Yeah, so he's described as a Maori man with a solid build. Black curly hair and wearing no clothes. I would hate to be described, if I was a flasher or a nudist, acting inappropriately as a man with a solid build.

I would be like, well, I was going to turn myself in, but I'm not now because you called me solid. You called me fat. You might as well have called me, you're calling me fat. Pretty much. So our police are patrolling the area. They're asking for help. They've said if anyone has spotted this man,

can you contact police immediately? And if you can get a photo, get a photo. Do you want that on your camera roll? I don't know. Like, I mean... I don't know. Like, yeah. It's been described as solid.

It's probably... And what do they need the photo for? For the evidence. For the evidence, yeah. Yeah, okay. Catch him. But then it's like, you know, it's like the Loch Ness Monster.

It's always a bit fuzzy, isn't it? When it's far away. Yeah, and I don't know if you want to get too close to him, you know, to get the photo. Yeah, stay your distance. So just watch out if you're walking your dog on the beach in Dunedin, St. Clair Beach. There's a pain on the loose.

We would love to talk right now about when your parents pulled some strings because there is a big case going down in America and it involves two celebrities, but it also involves like 50 other parents who have bribed universities to get their kids in. So these are like the fancy unis that you all hear about. UCLA. Right. Harvard. get their kids in. So these are like the fancy unis that you all hear about. UCLA, Harvard, all the big

fancy unis. Right. So Lori Loughlin, who is from Full House, and Felicity Huffman. She was in Desperate Housewives, eh? Yeah. And then has she done anything since? Yeah. Oh, I hate some movies. Oh yeah. TV shows. Yeah, heaps of movies. Heaps of movies, TV shows.

Yeah, heaps. Yeah, that I can't even. Okay. I don't know, maybe you're not tied to audience. She's an incredible actor. Yeah, you see her face and you're like, yep. Yeah, so they've been indicted for conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud. So I think that Felicity Huffman only paid 15, well, I mean only, $15,000.

But I mean, in terms of how much money she has, that's probably a drop in the bucket. But she paid $15,000 for her daughter to have their test results fudged. Yeah. So after she did her test, the answers were fixed and she got 400 more points on her exam. So she was dumb. She was. And they. Well, I don't know if she was dumb, but she went from being like maybe average to a genius.

Okay. So she was average. Yeah. And then Lori, the other celebrity in the case, paid $500,000 to have their two daughters. That's like so much money. It's half a million dollars to get your kid into a college. That two daughters to be put on like a rowing crew. I'd just say, mum, just send me to a polytech and give me the money.

So they weren't rowers and she like basically got them a rowing scholarship. Right. And they had to like fake up photos of them on rowing machines and stuff. God, I hate the rowing machine at the gym. That's the one I hate the most. I did rowing and I still hate it. I'd want to get a scholarship for an easy thing. Yeah.

I don't know. Is there table tennis? Bear pong? Oh, yeah. Is there a scholarship for bear pong? Easy and it's fun. Yeah. So they've both been, well, Felicity Huffman's gone to court.

Yeah. Now, New Zealand is known as, you know, not a corrupt country. We always top the list of the least corrupt. I always think that we know of. Like, there's got to be stuff like this happening. In New Zealand, nobody's parents are paying to get you into uni. Or that we know of. Really?

But we did want to ask when your parents have pulled some strings. Yeah. Because all it could have taken was just mum or dad getting on the phone, calling up. And having an absolute meltdown. Having a meltdown. If mum was having an absolute tirade. Or mum or dad are just really well connected. Yeah.

And they're like, I'm going to call. Or Rich. Call in a favour. Or Rich. Yeah, exactly. So I studied really hard and I've always been okay at English. But when my English results came back, I was really upset because they were pretty average. And I got really upset.

My mum was like, I'm going to call them. I'm going to get them to do a recount. I'm going to pull some strings. Just, I'm going to, this can't be right. Can they do like a recount? Go back over and make sure the results are right. And I was like, oh, don't do that. What did she say?

It's pretty embarrassing. No, I don't think she did it in the end. But she was prepared to. What, is she going to call up and say, my daughter's just a little bit? No, she was going to make them recount and re-go over the test to make sure that that was my mark. I'm pretty sure they do that anyway, don't they? Probably. Like, recount and recount.

But she wanted a recount on the recount on the recount. Just in case it was, what, an extra, you went from a C to an A. Yeah. Yeah. Because they missed, like, half the test. Yeah, yeah. Check both sides, please. I feel like producer Caitlin, has your mum ever pulled some strings?

Because Mama Jane, she's... She's just, like, my number one fan. She is. Because I remember I got a detention once when I was at school because I was such a goody good. Yeah. And I'd just call up anything that would happen, I'd just call up mum.

Wait, why did you get a detention? Oh, something about, oh, I think I was late to a class. What? Didn't clean up after myself. It was something ridiculous. Like I did not, I didn't deserve the detention. I think they were just like power playing. So, and I like called up mum and I was like crying.

She's like, okay, I'm going to make a call. Because you've got one detection. I know. And did she pull some strings? Yeah, she pulled some, like, she just called up and was like, I'm sorry, but Caitlin is very upset. Like, but she gets on with everyone. So she's just like, hello, and calls them by their first name.

She's like, it's Jane Marriott here. She's a good cop. Yeah, just the amount of times that she, and, like, I swear, like, a couple of years ago she was going to call Ross Boss and be like, Caitlin's a Maric here. She's a good cop. Yeah. Just the amount of times that she, and like, I swear, like a couple of years ago, she was going to call Ross Boss and be like, Caitlin's a bit tired at the moment. I'm like, no, I'm 27. Stop. You can't be ringing my boss.

I know. Okay. So we want to take some calls now. 0800 dials at M and you can text as well, 9696. When did your parents pull some strings? Yeah. It doesn't have to be money related. No, maybe they just made a call, put in a good word, or they called in a favour with

a friend, and I don't know, maybe you got a really expensive job out of it. Because I know people that have got jobs because of their parents. Really? Yeah, and like, not even that qualified, but yet get paid more than people that have been at the workplace for ages, just because mum and dad know someone. My parents need to step it up. I mean, this probably is going to need people to rag on other people. Yeah.

Because no one's going to be like, admit to that, are they? I don't know. I don't know. Give us a call. 0800-DARLS.M-9696. When did your parents pull some strings? Well, there's a big scandal overseas in America involving celebrities, parents that are paying bribes to get their kids into uni.

And it might not be on the bribe level here in New Zealand, but we want to know when your parents have pulled some strings, when they stepped in, maybe called in a favour. Can I just say, before we talked about this, Fletch was like, oh, we're not a corrupt country. People don't do this sort of thing here. Well, they don't pay half a million dollars to get their kids into a nice uni, do they?

No, actually. I haven't heard of, like, huge amounts of money, but, man, parents are pulling some strings. Like what kind? How corrupt? This one's about tax. So, and visas. One here says, my dad's brother couldn't get an emergency visa to come to New Zealand for

a funeral from Finland. So we called one of my uncles who was a lawyer and within an hour the visa was approved. I'm assuming he found a legal way. A legal loophole. Legal, right. My full licence test got cancelled the day of, so my dad called and knew the guy sorting out the time slots and made him cancel someone else's test

because I'd been waiting longer, so I got a spot. They did say go, Dad. Also very embarrassing. So embarrassing when your parents call up. Hayley, when did our mum have to pull some strings? I was working at a really fancy hotel as their receptionist. And I was probably about four or five years out of high school. Yeah.

And they were about to fire me. And so mum took me out and she bought me this really expensive Veronica Mayne pantsuit. Pantsuit? To try and keep the job, to try and impress them. I know. A pantsuit, okay. It was poo brown too.

Oh. Right. I still love the job. You still? Oh. I love that she tried though. She's like, I know what will fix this. A pantsuit.

I know. Please. So what did the people at work say when you turned up to work? Because I'm imagining a Hillary Clinton Pooh Brown pantsuit. Oh, it was actually all right. And then we went to Moochie and bought one of those Moochie tops as well. Oh, girl. Also in Pooh Brown.

Right. Did she stop short of going in and talking to the manager? Yeah. I went in and the manager was like, oh, did your mum take you out and buy you a suit? You're like, actually, yes. I was like, yes, she did, because I really want to keep this job

and she wants me to keep this job. And she said, fortunately, that's not going to happen. Oh, but was it not about what you were wearing? Well, she said to me, she was really confusing. Like, I'd say to her, and my boss, you know, she'd say, oh, you're talking too quietly. So I'd increase the volume of my speech on the phone. And then she's like, we can't have that.

You're speaking too loudly. See you later. Oh, God, it's worked somewhere else. Yeah, she sounds horrible. Hey, Rebecca, thanks for your call. Jordan, when did your parents pull some strings? It was about 10 years ago. I was watching a netball game, a professional netball game for Canterbury.

And my mum knew the manager of the team quite well. During the halftime break, they give out a bit of merchandise to a random crowd member. Okay. Yeah. My mum gave me this wacky hat, a specific hat that I had to wear. And the manager was looking for that specific hat and pulled me out in front of the crowd. So you could get

what, like a crappy drink bottle or something? Oh, it was a backpack and a drink bottle. Oh yeah. It was a backpack and a drink bottle. Absolutely. It looked pretty cool at school, that was for sure. Wow, and all because Mum said you'd give my little Jordan something. Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. Thanks Jordan. Nicole, when did mum or dad pull some strings?

So, my still had a really strict policy on hair colour. Like, you could only have natural hair colour. Okay, yeah. And I rocked up with purple hair. Oh, no. Rebellious. It was promptly sent home. And then my mum wrote a letter to my head of house.

And I was allowed to have purple hair apparently for the next six months. What did she say in that letter? Was there a big wad of 50s? I have no idea, but she's pretty scary. So I'm pretty sure they were just like, please, please don't come in and talk to us. We'll just let her have it. And then meanwhile, you're rocking around with purple hair.

And does it backfire? Because all the kids at school are like, your mum wrote a letter. I don't know. But like, honestly,, it was definitely purple. You could not deny it. Everyone's like, how are you getting away with that? But apparently my mum said that I was in this place,

which I wasn't. Oh! And so it needed to be purple. Yeah, she's in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. For six months. Yeah, for six months. Exactly. Thanks, Nicole.

Some text messages in. Dad is, this is scandalous. Dad is quite high is scandalous. Dad is quite high up in the government. Made me a job that pays very, very well and I don't have to do stuff all in it. Oh my God, can your dad give me one of those jobs? Oh wait, we have that job. And for you, like, Fletch was saying.

Doing not much. Yeah, Fletch was saying that this doesn't happen, the paying the schools. Someone said, I work at a private girls' school, and there are parents who are constantly trying to do this. They say trying. Trying, so they're not actually. Not successfully.

My partner got towed once in town, so he called his parents, who knew the guy, who owned the tow yard company, and they released the car for free. Oh, because that can be up to 200. Yeah. How old was this person? Like 25? Dad, I've been towed.

Dad, can you get me out of the tow yard? You know me. I got a fine when I was drinking in public when I was 16. My dad was a senior sergeant, police officer at the time. Yeah. And he got my drinking fine wiped somehow without telling me until years later. Thanks, Daddy. Thanks, Daddy.

That sounds like me. So many people are doing this. Yeah, okay. There's no shame in calling your parents if you need help. Help, man. Help, Daddy. That sounds like me. So many people are doing this. There's no shame in calling your parents if you need help. Help, ma'am. Ma'am. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM.

This little graph went crazy on Reddit. A user, Trust Little Brother, has made an infographic on Leonardo DiCaprio's relationships over the years. It's quite over the years. It's quite funny. Yeah. Because, you know, infographics are, you know, they pop the news out, don't you? When you see an infographic on a news website, you're always like, ooh. Okay.

Okay. And like, wow. He's obviously still a bachelor. He's not married and he's quite hot. So this is why it's taken off. According to this infographic, he's had eight serious relationships. Yeah. Since 1999 till now. Girlfriends.

Girlfriends. Not hookups. Not hookups. Not the girls on the boats that we see him with. Just actual girlfriends. But there's not a lot of gap here. Five, six, seven, eight, nine. You know, every year he's pretty a lot of gap here. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. You know, every year

he's pretty much been in a relationship. Yeah. Even if it has been only for a year. So the graph shows that his average age of girlfriend

is 22.9 years old. And he's now 44. So in this graph it's got his age going up and up and up and up. Because it looks like, you know when you watch a cricket

and they've got the worm. Oh yeah, when you watch the cricket and they've got the worm. Oh yeah, when you watch the cricket. The runs and the wickets are dotted along. Yeah. It looks like that. When we all watch that.

You've got no idea what I'm talking about, do you? No. And then below, it's got the average age of his girlfriend. So he went out

with Giselle Bündchen when she was 18. She's the Victoria Secrets. Yeah, she's a supermodel. Supermodel, yeah. And broke up with her five years later when she was 23. So she never made it to the peak age.

Leonardo's peak age. Peak age. Then Barra Raffaele went out with her for five years. She made it to 25 and then they broke up. Remember, he went out with Blake Lively for a year. She was 23. And then it moves on to his other five girlfriends, mostly supermodels.

He's definitely got a type and that's okay. But only two of them managed to get to 25 and then no older. So his age limit is absolutely 25 years old. Meanwhile, he's just getting older and older. He's 44. He's 44. So his average age of girlfriend is 22.9.

So if you are over the age of 25 years old and you see Leonardo DiCaprio at a bar. It's not happening. It's not happening. It's not happening at all. Yeah. Like he probably won't even look at you. There was one girlfriend, Kelly Rohrbach. She was 25.

So that relationship only lasted a year. And he's like, I'm so sorry. I've got to get a new one. You're max age. It's not sweetheart. You're max age. The thing is, Leonardo can do no wrong though. Like he's an environmental crusader.

And he was in Titanic. And he was a heartthrob for you. Yeah, he was on my bedroom wall. Yeah. And so like, you follow his Instagram expecting to get like hot pics or something and it's not. It's just about the seals and the whales

and that's awesome. Yeah. But I feel like that's a ruse so that we don't question anything else that he's doing. The private jets all around the world. The womanising. Not that that's a bad thing,

but we're just slightly overlooking it. I can't wait. I want to see this. I this i honestly this graph in like 10 years yeah 54 oh and see if it's still absolutely still just going to climb his current girlfriend is 21 so she's still got four years left it's like it's like when you get a rego for another six months. You're like, okay, I've got another six months. Yes. Yes. Don't break up with me. I mean, break down on me. Yeah.

Welcome one, welcome all to the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast brought to you by Spark. Get four gigs of bonus data on Spark's $49 prepaid value pack. Now, on with the podcast. Everyone's being really eco-friendly these days, which is awesome. And buying reusable bottles that are like, what's that? Is it BCA free? BPA. BPA free. Something. What does that mean? No plastic?

Or no leaching? No leaking into your water or something? Yeah. You just know that it's supposed to be BPA free. Yeah. So it's now considered pretty fashionable to get like a cool drink bottle and keep cups too. Like I've known people that buy expensive as designer keep cups.

Well there is a new drink bottle on the market which is considered the height of fashion if you buy this drink bottle. There is now a wait list. It's in such high demand that there's now a wait list of 4,000 people waiting to buy the Evian Virgil Abloh water bottle.

Does it look nice? What kind of design is it? It's got white down the bottom with writing on it. It just looks like a SodaStream bottle. Kind of. The top of it's glass and then it's got, I think, a bamboo lid. Right. I mean, it's all right as far as drink bottles.

But it's not worth $70. So yeah, this is the thing, it's $70. Like I just buy a bottle from the dairy or the server or the supermarket and just keep refilling that. And then it gets all like crinkly. Is that BPA free? Dunno. Well, I'm assuming so. And then when it gets all crinkly and there's like dirt on the outside of the label and the sticker's peeling off, I'm like, I'll buy a new one.

So yeah, it's 70 bucks and it's considered the height of fashion because the Louis Vuitton designer designed it. Right. Yeah. But I've just got my Love Island one and it's kind of gone green and mouldy at the top. They never go green and mouldy on the show, do they? No. No.

Not there long enough. Pretty soon, Caitlin, you've got a couple of designer drink bottles. You've been all over designer drink bottles for like the last six months. Yeah, I'm super eco-friendly. But no, I'm also just really vain in like the look of it and to look cool. Because you paid for the official Love Island one, didn't you? Yeah, well, I got two. How much did you pay?

Because we got given one and then you paid for one. And then I paid, I think. Well, no, because I was thinking it was about $30, but with shipping and stuff, it must have been like. Wasn't it $45? $45. Or your shared shipping. So between $40 and $45.

For a drink bottle. That is ridiculous. I know, but it's so chic. Because you know that when Love Island comes on again, they're going to have a different type of drink bottle. No. You have to buy a new one. No.

They always have the same ones. You could have paid $25 more and got this Louis Vuitton. You have to buy a new one. No. They always have the same ones. You could have paid $25 more and got this Louis Vuitton. Yeah, I actually really want it. Because you use your drink bottle all the time. And also, I always figure that

if you've got a nice drink bottle, you drink more water because you want to be seen drinking out of it. Yeah. So, you know, it's a win-win. It's with you all the time.

Apart from your bank account. It is like the new accessory. You know, you've got your handbag and your water bottle. Do people comment about your Love Island drink bottle? Yeah, all the time. What do your bank account. It is like the new accessory, you know, you've got your handbag and your water bottle. Do people comment about your Love Island drink bottle? Yeah, all the time.

What do they say? They're just like, well, you're so chic. No, they're like, that's stupid, but okay. And it says, eight in now. Yeah, I've lost it in.

Because the letters are coming off. Yeah. Right, because they put your name on it. Yes, yeah. And it's, yeah, getting mouldy, so, but you know.

Do you wash it much? Sometimes. I've got one of those straw things that you push up and down and throw it. That one does get particularly mouldy up the top. But then I'm just like, I'm not licking the mould part. It's all right. And like, you know, good for your, you know, a little bit of dirt. What's it good for?

Your intestinals. Yeah, your immune system. Immune system. Intestinals. Intestinals. Close enough. Close enough. FEM. ZM. Close enough. Close enough.

FEM. ZM. Last week, we had the list of Uber lost and found here in New Zealand. The weird and wonderful items people have left behind. Today, the UK have released their list of lost and found. You've got the weird things. Do you also have the most popular item to be left behind? No, I just assume it'd be the same as New Zealand phones. Cell phones and wallets.

Cell phones and wallets and keys. Yeah. They do say, I think same as New Zealand, that the most popular day for things being left in Ubers is a Saturday. Oh, okay, yeah. Because like you said, you've always got something on a Saturday, don't you?

The things that have been left behind in UK Ubers include a cat, 45 pieces of chicken, I'm assuming in a bucket. include a cat, 45 pieces of chicken, I'm assuming in a bucket. In a bucket. In a giant bucket. A Masonic apron.

What's that? A Masonic apron? Like the Masonic Lodge or, I don't know, isn't that the Masonics, isn't that like a secret society? What is it? We have a secret house, I don't know, I'm not sure. A painting of the Last Supper

was left in an Uber. A Nando's uniform. I don't know if that was after work or before work or they just quit. They're like, I'm out. You can have this. I love you, peri-peri sauce, but I'm out. And also a script of the movie Legally Blonde. What?

A script? Like a whole entire script. Also, that movie's really old. Why have they got that now? I don't know. That's so bizarre. How big was the painting? The Last Supper painting?

Doesn't say, but it's a big... Are people not turning around? I don't know. I always turn around and have a look. I've left keys in a taxi before, but only because they slipped out of my pocket. Yeah. But I'll always now,

because I lost my keys, I'll always do a big check. Yeah. Always just like... Do a hand swipe over the seat. Yep, exactly. Check you got your phone. Yeah. But I'll always now, and because I lost my keys, I'll always do a big check. Yeah. Always just like. Do a hand swipe over the seat. Yep, exactly. Check you got your

phone. Yeah. And I don't know how you're leaving a cat. Do they go to the vet and take your cat? Apparently, yeah. Oh, that's all sad.

Do they get the cat back? Doesn't say there's no follow up to any of these and why there was a photo of The Last Supper. Yeah, okay.

Or a script for Legally Blonde, the first movie, which came out so long ago. I'm not sure. Am I a bad person? All right, we have received a message to our Facebook inbox.

And if you've got a scenario for Am I a Bad Person, if you're in a bit of a predicament, you'd like the nation to help you out. And judge you. Then send us a message, FVMZM on Facebook.

So this is anonymous. It's about a relationship. This is the message that was sent in. I used my boyfriend's laptop the other day and his Facebook was logged on. I had a sneaky look and I saw that his ex had messaged him and that they'd been chatting. It's nothing salacious and just a friendly chat, but I still find it really weird, especially that he hasn't told me. Am I

a bad person for wanting him to stop talking to her? Firstly, if he was hiding something, he wouldn't just leave his Facebook open like that. But she was on his laptop. Maybe she would have no reason to ever use his laptop.

Yeah, true. He wouldn't expect her to be on it, maybe. Yeah, okay. But it's not. She's obviously scrolled through all the messages and seen that it's not. But did she open it up and it was there? Or did she, like, open up Facebook and then go into messages? It says his Facebook was logged on.

And you know how late they just pop up? Or that would be your defence. You know how you just go into your partner's Facebook page? It's just like the messages have just popped up on the screen. So I don't... Oh, okay. So she wants to know... She's not asking if she's a bad person for looking at his messages.

No. She's asking if she's a bad person for wanting him to stop talking to her. I mean, technically she has broken the law. Broken the trust. Broken trust and the law. I've never looked broken the law. Broken the trust. Broken trust and the law. I've never looked at Facebook messages. What? At Mr. Toyboy's Facebook messages?

Never at Facebook messages. Why? Because you're not crazy? No. But what have you done? No. Instagram DMs. Have you really?

Oh, accidentally. It was just like, just like. But were you looking? Don't look at me like I'm crazy. No, look at, you're getting a look from even Caitlin like you're crazy. Like Megan. Ages ago. Ages.

He was in a boy band. Sue me. Oh yeah, true. He was. He was traveling around the country. Come on. And I never found anything. Just so you know.

Because he probably deleted them. Probably. It's alright. He's smart. But did you, you were looking over his shoulder. He left it logged in or he left his phone around and you purposely went in.

Explain yourself. Oh, I didn't think we'd go deep into this. No, so his phone was like there. You know how sometimes you go on someone else's Instagram for like fun because their timeline

is so different to yours. No. And then there's like. No, no, no. It's the same app. Everyone looks the same. No, you know how everyone follows different people. So their timeline just looks way different.

Megan, that's a really weak excuse. Megan, that is a weak excuse. Whatever. It was ages ago, like early on in the relationship. I was feeling a little bit vulnerable. Okay. Oh, it's okay, babes. And then like, yeah, no.

And you didn't see anything? No, I didn't see anything. So good on him. Turn the music back on. He had nothing to hide. Anyway, that's not all we're discussing looking into like...

I actually honestly can't believe you just admitted that. I know. Can we not make... Don't... I don't want to see this anywhere after today, okay?

Oh, make it into one of those video highlights. Only people who are listening right now know that this happened. I'm 100% going to hear about this later. So, okay, so back to the person with the predicament. She's seen that her boyfriend is talking to an ex. Is she a bad person for wanting him to stop? So she wants no communication with the ex.

What do we think in the production studio here and the producers both? I've got a boyfriend now. Do you? Yes. Did you know? Would you go into his DMs or his Facebook inbox? What about his Instagram DMs? No, he's never good with Instagram, so I don't think I'd know how to do that.

You don't have anything to worry about. No. Oh, shivers. I think, like, because it's so new, I might, because I know that he's got exes, so I might. But then in saying that, I don't know, I think he just, like, he's a bit, oh, you know, I don't want to say that.

This is what? Do you want to say something? I don't want to sound like, oh, like I can't decide what I want to say. No, I don't want to say that, like I can't decide what I want to say. No, I don't want to say that he's like, dumb. That's not the word, but he just doesn't really like,

he's not, he's fully onto it, but he doesn't, he wouldn't be thinking about that. So do you think, I think maybe a conversation just needs to be had being like, hey, like, I just feel a little bit uncomfortable with the fact that you're talking to your ex.

Because I've gone on your Facebook when you weren't looking and I don't agree with this. Well, my boyfriend has 100 messages still left in his inbox. So I'm not going through that. He's not cheating on you because he's not returning any of their messages.

He's got no time. Okay, well, we want to take your calls now. Maybe you've been in this situation because you do hear of people going back to their exes. It's just uncomfortable. That's someone you were in a relationship with. I think she's got a right to say, don't talk to her anymore. But at the same time, like...

Or it makes me uncomfortable. You can be friends with an ex. Yeah. You know, you've broken up. Okay, make me sound like a psycho this whole break then. Call Wes. 0800-s an M. 9696.

Is it okay? Is she a bad person for wanting her boyfriend not to talk to his ex? No. Give us a call. What do you think? Am I a bad person? And we did receive an email, a Facebook message rather. Someone has delved into their boyfriend's Facebook messenger.

In their defence, it was logged on. She had a sneaky look, saw that his ex had messaged and they've been chatting. It's nothing salacious, just friendly chat. But she wants to know, is she a bad person for wanting him to stop talking to her? I'd like to know who broke up with who. If it was him that broke up with her and he moved on, it's probably, you know, like it might be her

that's trying to get back in there or vice versa. Because if he got broken up with, maybe there's lingering feelings. Exactly. We don't have that information. But is she a bad person? What do you think? Stacey, is she a bad person or not?

I don't think she's necessarily a bad person, just a very insecure one. I think maybe she just needs to work on her self-confidence, her trust in her partner. Are you talking about Megan or the... Hey! Kind of think Megan's a little bit more self-confident than this person. Yeah, it was ages ago.

Yeah, just a little bit. Yeah, right. But what if it makes her uncomfortable? Do you think she has a right to say something to her boyfriend about that? Um, I think he needs to bring it up with him, but not necessarily give him an ultimatum, you need to stop talking to this person,

because that's just, yeah, ridiculous. Okay, Kerry, is she a bad person? Yes or no, what do you think? Yes, I think she is a bad person for wanting to control who he talks to. But what, it's someone he's had a past relationship with. Yes, exactly. She's an ex.

Right. And she, for a reason. And it's for a reason. Yeah. If you were in that situation, though, and you just saw that your partner was chatting to an ex, would you, you'd just leave it and be like, oh, well. Well, exactly. As to her own confession, there was nothing malicious or nothing salacious in it.

Yeah, there was no flirting in the messages. And I guess if he's going to cheat, he's going to do it regardless. This is true. Cheryl, is she a bad person? No, I don't think she is, to be honest. I've been in that situation and it didn't turn out great for me. And I'm not a bad person and I did all the right things. And I guess at the end of the day, what's going to happen is going to happen

and you can't control the outcome. But I definitely think that she should communicate with him and at least express how she feels about the situation. Then it makes her feel uncomfortable. Yeah, for sure, definitely. And sort of see his reaction too, because sometimes that can say a lot about it as well, and sort of give you an idea of where you stand with him and your relationship as well. So for your situation, was the chatting really

platonic? I don't even know, because it was kept from me. I wasn't allowed to see any messages or anything. It was hidden from me. When I asked him about it, he got defensive. He denied it, et cetera, et cetera. Wow. Okay. All right. Cheryl, thanks for your call.

Some text messages. You'd say people are split though, eh? Yeah, really split. And this is from a guy. My girlfriend talks and goes and hangs out with her ex. It makes me uncomfortable. And all I can do is express how it makes me feel, but I feel like I can't

tell her not to talk to or hang out with someone. So I think that's really good, at least you can say, look it doesn't, I don't feel great about it, but you, saying you can't talk to them is a whole other thing. And it depends like how long they were with their ex, like if you were with someone for like 5, 6, 7,

8, 9, 10 years years and you're still friends, some people just can't walk away from that, can they? They might just remain friends and that's fine. Not a bad person. Totally acceptable to want him to not communicate with his ex. He needs to move on. You can never just be friends. She's not a bad person.

My boyfriend did this for ages. I suspected but didn't know for sure and it got flirty and inappropriate in the end I did check his Facebook messages he left it open on our joint laptop they've specified and I confronted him I shut that shit down someone said this is you need to know

if she still talks to her exes because if she's still talking to her exes why is she not comfortable with him doing it it's really split. Someone said she is a bad person. Stop being so insecure with yourself. I mean, that's easier said than done, isn't it? Yeah.

Yeah. So I'd say quite literally 50-50. And what about you? Are you going to do some more snooping on Instagram? On Mr. Toyboy's Instagram? I don't know what you're talking about. I've never done that ever. Megan's now denying what happened five minutes ago.

I'm in so much trouble. Tomorrow on the show, what happened when Megan got home? Yeah. No, that never happened. I was just joking, guys. I would never do that. I just said it for the radio. Mr. Toyboy.

That's a good defence. He's like, why are you calling me Mr. Toyboy out of it? ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Now, Vaughan is away today, sick. Oh, so it's just a joint. Like, actually sick, not in turn, aren't you sick? Oh, who do you think gave it to him? Man, you're cheeky.

Yeah, you got the finger. You deserve that. Oh, you know millennials, it's a little bit, they get sicker easier. I don't know what it is. Okay. Anyway, my point is. You're just jealous

you're not a millennial. I'm at the end of being a millennial, Megan. Okay, elder millennial. I'm an elder millennial. Yeah,

like that Netflix comedy. Elder millennial. So it's a duet. Yeah, it's a duet today. That was my whole point. Thank you for interrupting.

Classic millennial. Younger millennial. And so it's a duet today. So there's whole point, thank you for Inter Narnia interrupted. Classic millennial, younger millennial. And so it's a duet today, so we'll be missing the high nasal of the fact of the day. Pot kettle black. It's time for fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Did you feel exposed? I felt exposed. James, can you come in for the end, please?

Like a baritone. On Vaughan's mic. You're going to have to come in. We need the deep voice. Not that Vaughan normally gives that. I don't know. I was just missing something there. We'll try James.

Yeah, okay. Okay. Today's back to the day. I've taken the reins because, like we said, Vaughn's not here. Bit of pressure. I have chosen something that interests me, so I don't know if you guys will care. But that's what he does every day. I know, yeah.

There is something in your lipstick called guanine. This is often confused with bat guano or bat poo. Now, it's not bat poo. It is a material that comes from crushed fish scales. So in your lipstick, every lipstick or some?

Well, I mean there's vegan lipstick so I guess probably not in those. But in lots of still used common lipsticks there is fish scales and that gives it the light diffusing and shimmering effect. So this can also be used in like blushes, highlighters, anything that has a shimmering effect could have guanine, which is crushed fish scales.

Is that what gives their skin that shimmer in the water? But they're not all fish like sparkle and... No, it is a certain type of fish that they generally use. Salmon. I don't know. I'm type of fish that they generally use. Salmon. I don't know. I'm out of fish now. A fish that has like a pearlized scale. Right.

They just literally crush it up and they can use it in jewelry as well. And it gives the shimmery effect. So you've got... I've got lipstick on today. See, I never knew there were vegan lipsticks. Yeah. I had no idea. Babes, what do you think vegans use?

Well, no, but I just had no idea there were animal products in lipstick. Or makeup. There's so many animal products in lipstick, which is kind of frightening. But I'm wearing, you'll notice I'm wearing like a matte today. A matte red. It's not shimmery. So you don't have fish on your lips. I might be licking off lots of other animal products, but at least I know no fish scales today.

Great, nice. So today's fact fish scales today. Great, nice. So today's fact of the day. No, James, James, come in. We're going to get James for the outro just to add some bass. He doesn't want to do this. He's not a glory hog. I mean, we're waiting, James. It allegedly pays.

I could have done it for him there, but I guess not. Okay, okay. It's all right. He doesn't like to say much, James. No. But he's here. Are guess not. Okay, okay. It's all right. He doesn't like to say much, James. No. But he's here. Are we ready? Okay, yeah.

So today's fact of the day, there could very well be guanine or fish scales in your lipstick. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. It's all right. It's all right, James. It was too deep I think you were too deep You're showing the rest of us up We're like way up here We'll try Caitlin tomorrow

Thank you though James, appreciate it If Vaughan's sick tomorrow we'll try that There is a new brunch that is coming to New Zealand and it is all ages. I'll just preface this. I know. So it's not like a bottomless brunch. I got excited thinking it was a bottomless brunch

when I saw this yesterday. I've never been. Oh, no, we did a bottomless brunch in Dubai. Explain a bottomless brunch. So a bottomless brunch, you pay like a set fee or whatever. Because, Katie, we did this, eh? And then we went to Waiheke. That was a mess on Sunday.

At the end of a bottomless brunch, you always end up on Waiheke. So just prepare yourself for that. Or you end up somewhere. It's the reason you see people vomiting in the viaduct in Auckland at two o'clock on a Saturday day. So this is all ages.

Yeah, and then you see your pain, you get to choose one of the mains and then it's like bottomless mimosas. Yeah. Constantly filling it up with champagne and orange juice. Oh, good Lord. I couldn't do that. I don't even need a couple. So the Wizards brunch and dinner have announced that Auckland

is the next destination for the Harry Potter themed brunch. And Fletch, like I say, is all ages. So it's a family friendly event. And so they've got the, what's the beer they're doing? Butterbeer. Butterbeer, which is non-alcoholic. Yeah, because they serve it at Universal Studios where you go to Harry Potter World and stuff

and everyone can drink Butterbeer because it's non-alcoholic. Is it just like a soft drink? It's from the movie Butterbeer. Yeah, I know it's in the movie But well Because you know I've only seen one of the movies

The second to last one We had to go Because we were doing an interview With someone in there And I didn't know What was going on I know it was very annoying The whole time

You're asking questions In the movie It was the one where The bird died Hey It's the owl Hedwig Yes

The bird has a name That one Pigeon, owl Something along owl. Hedwig. Yes. The bird has a name. That one. Pigeon, owl, something along those lines. Hedwig, that was traumatic. So yeah, you can go along and you can learn spells, drink magic potions, eat food. There is bottomless butterbeer, live entertainment. It looks like, I mean, such a good day. And you get to dress up.

Well, you can dress up as whatever you want. Oh, everybody be dressing up. But you should dress up with me and you're Slytherins. We could both dress up as Slytherins. See I know I'm a Slytherin but that's all I know about Harry Potter. Do you know what that means? No I mean apparently we're bad people. Are we bad people? Well it depends because Ariana Grande's a Slytherin too.

So I mean we're in good company. Yeah. But it's I mean you're not going to get alcohol there. Butterbeer is non-alcoholic But it still sounds like A great time Fleet is in my comments I want you to come Just so you can be

Like completely baffled By what's going on No yeah Because I will be baffled Because I've never seen I've seen Wingardium Leviosa See I don't even know
