Well, last night, Broods played a concert at Nelson Boys College to thank all the people that gave it all during the Tasman fires over summer. And last night afterwards, we went to Megan's parents' house, and Megan's dad was saying up until, like, the last few days, you've still been able to see the smoke and everything off the fires. Still been able to see a few lights from the fire engines just checking on things and stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's pretty crazy that it's, you know, it's massive. It's taking that long. It's still very, very dry down here, so everybody's on high alert for it as well. Yeah. Right. Coming up on the show today, we've got some special guests, guys.

Yep. Nick Frost and Lena Headey are joining us. They're in the new movie Fighting With My Family, directed by Stephen Merchant. It's about the rise to superstardom of the WWE wrestler, Paige. Yeah, the movie came out yesterday. We got to see it a few weeks ago. It's very good. Because you know when someone says, oh, it's wrestling, because I'm not a wrestling fan.

I was like, oh, here we go. But it's really good. I think like Rotten Tomatoes and stuff, it's wrestling because I'm not a wrestling fan. I was like, oh, here we go. But it's really good. I think Rotten Tomatoes and stuff, it's got a great rating. I'm just going to it because it was 90% at one stage on Rotten Tomatoes. As it stands, Fighting With My Family is at 92% on the Tomato meter. Such a good movie. And it's got The Rock in it as well. Yep, it does.

He plays himself. Yeah, he plays himself because when she was coming up through, The Rock had kind of finished Most of his wrestling But was still doing Guest appearances So about a wrestling family From Norwich

In the UK Yeah And like the kids Just want to be wrestlers And the parents Are wrestlers too And that's just their dream It's a family of wrestlers

And yeah true story It did happen for it Didn't it Yeah it did So the movie about that But of course Obviously Lena Headey You know like We've got to ask about Game of Thrones Yeah lightly didn't it? they did. So the movie about that, but of course, obviously Lena Headey, you know,

like, we've got to ask about Game of Thrones. Yeah, lightly. We'll do our due diligence on asking about the movie. She doesn't, I don't feel like she's going to be all like, about answering questions about Game of Thrones.

She looks no nonsense. I mean, come on, she's Cersei. Yeah. I don't want to get told off by her. She's also been answering nothing but Game of Thrones questions for the last like 8-9 years So she's on

phone with us after 8 o'clock this morning Nick Frost just after 7 this morning We've got Storytime next Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast ZM Alright you lot, listen up, it's Storytime Alright, Storytime Three news headlines It's story time. All right, story time.

Three news headlines. And as usual, Vaughan and Megan, you must pick one of the following three headlines. Headlines that are unusual, odd, quirky news stories. Headline one, it's all fun and games until someone sets your pants on fire. Headline two, worst police officer ever. And headline three, man's house rattles. Ooh. Is the story about worst police officer ever in New Zealand story?

No. Oh. No. I just see that a former Tarnaki police officer has been sentenced for $480,000 theft. I was just wondering if that was it. No, not that. No, not that one. Man's house rattles. Was that the last one or shake?

Snaddle rattles, yes. It was a snake in his wall. Not quite. Snakes, plural. Oh. I think worst police officer ever then. Yeah, okay. Okay, all right.

Well, we go now to Nevada, Las Vegas, where what has been described as the worst police officer ever is facing charges. She has quite a list of offences. Now, the former Metropolitan Police Officer, according to records, used police equipment to conduct record searches while on duty for friends and family, for new people that they'd met dating, just to run some background checks. See, you say worst police officer, I say great police officer.

Well, it does get better, Vaughan. So in other videos, in one particular instance, she is seen feeding gummy bears to a handcuffed man while she made plane noises as if she was feeding a child. And he might have wanted lollies, but he couldn't have his hands free. She is quite a nasty piece of work. She was also seen taunting overweight people. And yeah, in one case, they arrested a man and his pants ripped.

So she also took a photo because his genitals were exposed. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Oh. Yeah. According to another report as well, and this is quite sad, a call of a mentally ill man

was wearing two dresses with his hair in pigtails. So she asked him in a video if she could see the doggie and if he could do a twerk. Oh. Yeah. So all of these are

just a long list of her... Indiscretions. Yes. Yeah, so all of these are just a long list of her... Indiscretions. Yes. Yeah. Okay. So she's now... So she's gone? Has she been put in jail?

Well, she's been arrested. And I guess is going to court. I'm not sure if she's been bailed or not, but yeah. Okay. But it's all on the... Because they wear the body cams now, don't they? Oh, it's all on up close HD body cam footage. Oh, good.

Oh, very good. Coming up on the show, oh, yeah, no, the top six today. The top six. Did you realize that you didn't have a top six? Yeah, and then I was like, no, I do. That's right, I've already started on it. A family is looking for a nanny,

but they want you to pretty much be a Disney princess while you're being the nanny. You've got to dress up like the Disney princess. Oh, wow. I've got the top six Disney princesses that would make pretty good nannies coming up in the top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughn and Megan, the podcast. Do you guys, we have lanyards at work for our little swipey cards. Yep. I don't wear mine because it ruins my outfit.

I do. I just wear mine around my neck. Yeah. Dangling. There is a warning for people who wear lanyards while you're driving home. This will be most people that work in an office, especially in a big office building. You always have your swipe cards. And you forget that it's there, right?

Yeah. So this actually comes from Dorset. The police volunteers have put out a message and said there have been a couple of serious traffic accidents of note where the person driving was wearing the lanyard around their neck. Gets caught up in the steering wheel. Is that why? No, but that could be a hazard.

Well, because I leave mine on my keys. Yeah. And then I put the key in and turn on and it dangles and sometimes your foot gets stuck in it and it pulls and then there's a moment of panic. So I tuck it up underneath and put it on the indicator on the other side. Moment of panic when you try to press the brake. And you're like, oh no, what's happening here?

So this is actually a little bit like full on. So the airbag car was deployed in one instance and the impact enforced the airbag caused the lanyard and pass that they were wearing to be pushed into the driver's chest. Their lung collapsed and they required treatment. Just from wearing their work swipe card around their neck. Yeah. Jeez. Just the pressure of it. You never even think about that. Would be pushed in.

Our work swipe cards are very flimsy. Yeah, right. We were given at one stage a hard plastic exterior. That thing like, it couldn't even bend. Literally, I put mine in my pocket and sat on it and it broke. So I can believe with enough force that they could. Yeah. And you know how lots of people,

it's not only your card, but people put keys on a lanyard? So another woman, she got into a car, she was driving home, she had the lanyard around and it had keys. She had an accident, the airbag was triggered, and the force of the airbag caused the keys to perforate her bowel. Well, what about your necklace you're wearing now? That's a little of heart.

How the hell did it get round to the bowel? I don't know. I don't know. It shot the key through her. Well, no, if she was sitting down, it could hang low. It must have been hanging real low. But do you think you wear anything around your neck, like a pendant or anything? Yeah, this is a heart necklace.

That heart. Yeah, you wouldn't even think about that. But it would go your boobies first, so the airbag wouldn't it? So you've probably got a little cushion there. Yeah. But yeah, that's something to think about. Plus, they're just ugly. Like, take them off.

Yeah, that's what people always say to me because I just keep mine in the back pocket and I have the thing dangling. Oh, like cool dude? Well, I don't, not trying to be cool. Remember when it was like chains? Skated chains. Skated chains in the early 2000s. No, I'm certainly not trying to be cool by doing it.

I just need somewhere to put it. I mean, I should put it around my neck. That's exactly what it's made for. Alright, Nick Frost on the phone with us just after 7 this morning. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. ZM. We are in Nelson broadcasting from our Nelson studios today. We were

at the Broods concert last night that they put on for the emergency services. The communities, everyone involved. By the way, they shouted pizza for everybody. There was so much pizza. It was good pizza too. And good pizza, yeah. It wasn't rubbish pizza.

Good pizza. And people, I think, really appreciate it. It's good night. Good gig. So that was to show thanks for the Tasman fires that have been going on. Now, I've been staying with my parents while we were here. And so I had to, I was driving the car, I had to pick Fletch and Warner. Right.

Did you want to stay with them or was this a budget cost-cutting measure from the company? Well, a bit of both. Okay. Yeah, right. Yeah. Was that why I got the disabled room? Was that why I got the room? Well, I don't know.

I think you... At the motel unit. Yeah, but you've got a roomy shower. Very room think you at the motel unit yeah but you've got a roomy shower very roomy and wide doors yeah which if you're

you know feeling a little self-conscious about your size get that room wide doors because of course wheelchair access

yeah make you feel a lot better about yourself right you're like god so much room I could go through

this door sideways three of me right so I stayed with them and at Pekar traffic last night right before the concert I had to pick up Fletch and Vaughan and James Sideways Three of me Right So I stayed with them And at peak hour traffic Last night Right before the concert

I had to pick up Fletch and Vaughn And James Well I said we should walk Because it was literally 100 metres Yeah but I was wearing heels Yeah so we're not allowed

To walk anywhere When Megan wears heels We have to drive Yeah so I was picking you up Now this was At peak hour traffic So it was like 5.30 Yeah

I was all set To walk out the door and I get, hang on, mum says, hang on a minute, hang on a minute, your father wants to talk to you.

And I was like, but no, I've got to leave. And she's like, it won't take a minute, just in the office please. He wants, well,

did he want to do that thing parents do when you start driving where they make you do the safety check your car before you, you check your rear view mirrors, you check your seatbelts. The tyres. The tyres, your lights, your indicators. So she takes me

into the office where Dad's at the computer and I was like, here we go. So Dad says, look, it's peak hour traffic right now in Nelson. I've Google mapped you a route to take. He said, look. My mum does this in New Plymouth. She's like, oh, the car's back up. I'm like, mum, this is nothing. You're literally waiting at the lights an extra couple of phases. Like, that's it.

And they said, look, no, you need to park on the other side of the road, get the boys to walk five, ten metres, and so you don't have to cross the peak hour traffic, like do the U-turn. And I said, I mean, without being rude, I drive in Auckland peak hour traffic, like do the U-turn. And I said, I mean, without being rude, I drive in Auckland peak hour traffic. I think I'll be able to do it. And Dad said, no, no. And he pulled up Google Maps, Google Earth,

and arrowed down the road and said, turn here. Oh, wait. So because I thought Google Maps might have had those, you know, when traffic's busy, it's got those red lines. No, no, he did Google Earth. But that doesn't do that for Nelson. Does it do that for Nelson, though? Oh, I don't know.

Yeah, it does. Does it? I don't think, why would it not? It does it everywhere. I just wouldn't have thought they would have had enough people using whatever apps. Well, it does get busy because there's only like two ways in and out. Yeah. So it can get busy at five, but, you know, it's not like busy's bigger cities.

No, or heading out of Wellington. Exactly. Or Christchurch is all the one ways and everything in Christchurch. Which are all of a sudden closed down. Yeah. When they were open yesterday. They're like the stairs in Hogwarts. They just open and shut as they like and change day to day.

Yeah. So they were convinced. They said, look, you don't, you've never driven in peak hour. It's been a while. It's been a while. Follow this, Matt. The don't, you've never driven in peak hour. It's been a while. It's been a while. Follow this, Matt. The boys won't mind walking five minutes down the road. Get them to cross the road.

I'm like, well, it's fine for them to cross the road, but I can't turn across peak hour traffic. But what did you do? I just drove my own way. And then you pulled into the hotel we were staying at and then you pulled out and it was fine. It was fine. Yeah. I don't even remember waiting when we pulled out. No.

Peak hour traffic. I think it was far more of a giveaway roll through than it was a stop coming out of that driveway. For less. Yeah. But yeah, so it's good to know we survived the peak hour Nelson traffic. Nelson's peak hour traffic. Of one car coming quite a way away.

ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There is a challenge called the Florida Man Challenge. Now, this has done the rounds before, but over the past 24 hours, it's gone viral. I didn't know this was a thing, but yeah, it's been around for a few years. There's actually a Twitter account called underscore Florida Man, real life stories of the world's worst superhero. No, that was different. That was just taking a whole bunch of headlines

with Florida man and attributing it to one person making it look like Superman. Right. That was different. I mean, Florida, the reason we learned about this a couple of years ago, the reason Florida always has the craziest news headlines is that state has a totally open public policing system.

So every single crime that happens that gets written up is public record that you can access. No names, but they always just say Florida man or Florida woman. Yeah, right. Does something like throws a bottle of yogurt at a crocodile and rides a flamingo home. Because we always wondered why a lot of the story time stories were crazy things out of Florida, and that's why. Yeah, public, completely open public. Well, let's do that here.

Because how entertaining is it? Yeah. Yeah. So the challenge that's gone around is purely from someone's tweet. It says, everybody, Google Florida man followed by your birthday. So Florida man for me, July 25th. Yeah. And tell me what you get.

Mine is Florida man tries to attack neighbor with a tractor. Yes. That's not mine. That's what's in the Twitter. Oh, that's the person who tweeted it. Oh, that's good. No, mine's even better. Should I go first? Yeah. Okay Twitter. No, mine's even better.

Should I go first? Mine was July 25th. Florida man, July 25th. Florida man comes home for lunch and finds iguana in toilet. It is a huge green iguana that's in his loo. And the good thing is you get an actual story. This isn't some random web generator

make up story. Look at this iguana. It's terrifying. Wow, that's a sizable iguana. Yay for Florida. Okay, I've typed in Florida man, June 23rd, my birthday. Florida man arrested, accused of shoving woman to get egg rolls. He shoved her for an egg roll. I'm going to click on the story.

It does sound fun. This is basically story time, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I've got Florida Man, February 20th. Squirrel attacks Florida Man. Rodent was raised by neighbor. So this neighbor's raising rabid squirrels.

Why did he attack? I don't know if they taught him to attack or not. I'm just going to try. I'm going to go a random date. I'll go one of my child's birthdays. Florida man chugged can of beer during DIY DUI stop. That's good. That's good.

I just read my story. I've clicked on the headline. The Florida man was arrested after he shoved a woman when she wouldn't let him into the house to eat egg rolls. He kept ringing the doorbell even after she told him she wasn't letting him in. What? Egg rolls. What are egg rolls? Like?

Like the real yum things on sushi? Because I like those. I think it's like a spring roll-y situation, isn't it? An egg roll? Yum. Okay. Another one of my daughter's birthdays. Florida man tries to run over son who wouldn't take bath.

Florida. It's giving us the treats, isn't it? Oh, what an absolute treat. So for the Florida man birthday challenge, super easy. Florida man in Google and followed by your birthday. And hopefully you get some gems like that. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. ZM. like that. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

ZM, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. A couple of special guests on the show today. Cersei Lannister is joining us on the phone after eight o'clock this morning. Lena Headey. Lena Headey, yeah. She won't be joining us as Cersei. No.

Just as Lena. I'm just even nervous just to talk to her. I know. Like, I mean, are we even going to ask her about Game of Thrones? Because I don't think she really wants to talk about it. She's not on the phone for a Game of Thrones interview. No. It's for Fighting With My Family, a movie out today about wrestler Paige and how she

came up through the WWE. Such a good movie, too. And also in the movie, Nick Frost, who plays her husband in the movie. Yeah. Of course, Nick Frost, very familiar to Kiwis. He's spent a lot of time here. He has. He's on the show with us soon, just after 7 o'clock.

He's coming. I'm going to find my mouth. From the ZM Think Tank, this is the Top 6. Hello. Today's Top 6 dealing with a job offer in the UK Disney Princess Disney princess nanny wanted, $76,000 New Zealand dollars for a part-time role.

Okay, so just like after school or something? Yeah, so a UK website, Child Care, where you can list if you're looking for an au pair or a nanny or after school care. Five-year-old twin girls want a nanny who will dress as a Disney princess. It'll change four days a week and then you change characters.

It could be Anna from Frozen, Moana, Rapunzel, Cinderella, who wherever the mood takes them, really, costume supplied. Yep. But you'll also need to be able to play a range of Disney-related activities such as arts and crafts,

baking and singing. And there's two of them. Twins, are they double trouble? Yeah, I'm just trying to think. There's no Disney twins. I mean, Anna and Elsa are the sisters, but then if they're identical twins, there'll be a fight over who gets who.

Even though we know Anna was the more grounded one after the whole movie. Do you have to just pick one princess and stick with it or are you expecting to be multiple? No, they want you to be able to change and do various different princesses. Yeah, that would be really great if you could switch it up and change it. But I've got the top six Disney princesses that would make great nannies.

At number six, it's Ariel the Little Mermaid. She gave up her voice for a chance to get some D, so you know she's going to be great at paying attention to your five-year-old. It's like, you know her mind's not going to wander when she willingly gave up her greatest asset simply for a man. And you think about it, too. If you were looking after someone's kids and taking them to the beach, you'd be quite stressed because you don't want them to drown,

but she's at home in the water. Oh, yeah, true. Okay, she could teach them to swim beach, you'd be quite stressed because you don't want them to drown. But she's at home in the water. Oh, yeah, true. Okay, she could teach them to swim. Yeah, exactly. It really is a terrible message. Guys will find you more attractive if you just don't talk. Just shut your mouth, squatter. You want legs?

It's not a great message, that movie. Shush. Oh, you know, all those old Disney princess movies, they're trying to rejig them. Yeah. But, yeah, their initial message wasn't great. Number five on the list of the top six Disney princesses that would make great nannies, Princess Aurora, a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty.

She's the classic story of, make sure you don't touch that. But she touched it. She pricked her finger, had a wha, fell asleep. Had a wha. When she does this, of course, then when she's asleep, your bloody kids will touch it. Yeah, right. They shouldn't be positive, though. At least they'll all be asleep when you get home.

You don't have to deal with whingy, tired, hungry kids because they'll be asleep for 100 years. Yeah. Number four on the list of the top six Disney princesses that would make great nannies. Mulan. Okay. Mulan. Yeah, great. You've come home and all your daughters have short haircuts, are calling themselves by boys' names,

and have enrolled themselves in the Chinese army to fight the invading Mongolian forces. Great to come home after work to find your children are enrolled in the Chinese army. Yeah, I mean, the name change and the hair is all good, but I don't know about the army. Well, yeah. Old school armies.

They're five, aren't they, these twins? Yeah. Not ideal They shouldn't be in there Number three on the list of the top six Disney princesses That would make great nannies Princess Jasmine From Aladdin, yeah, a nanny with a pet tiger

And access to a magical flying carpet Yeah sure, this all sounds great Sorry kids, I know I have a tiger but you can't touch it And your parents said we can't go for loose, non-seat belted flights around the neighborhood. Oh, and don't touch my boyfriend's monkey. We think it might have rabies. Dangerous. Very dangerous.

Number two on the list of the top six Disney princesses that would make great nannies. Cinderella. She'd make a great nanny. She's not afraid of a bit of a hard work. Yeah. She's okay with light to moderate abuse. But keep her away from the lads because one good looking dude

looks her way and she'll chuck it all in. Yeah, I'm going to live in a castle rather than live in a basement and do all the work around here. And the number one Disney princess that would make a great nanny is Snow White. She technically ran a place full of seven dwarves

and those dwarves are basically all the moods that your kids have every day. Dopey, sneezy, bashful, doc, happy, grumpy and sleepy. Yeah. She managed them all pretty well. Yeah. Pretty well and kept that place looking spic and span so she should be able to manage your kids. That is today's

top six. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. The movie is called Fighting With My Family. It's in cinemas now. It's the story of WWE superstar Paige and her rise to fame. One of the men is in the movie, and we'll call him an honorary New Zealander. Nick Frost, good morning. Hello, how are you?

Very, very well. Do you miss New Zealand? Do you miss Wellington? I do, yeah. I have a sister whose name is Sarah Grew, and she is a Kiwi. She's lived in New Zealand literally all her life. She's now in her 50s.

Right. She's lived there for like 44 years. Oh, Sarah. She lives in Tizirangi. Oh. Tizirangi. She's got four lovely strapping sons, and they're all young filmmakers, and she's got a lovely strapping sons, and they're all young filmmakers,

and she's got a lovely strapping husband who used to be a golfer. And, yeah, so I have a connection to New Zealand. Wow, okay. And you spend some time here working with Sir Peter, and you've come and gone and done some film projects here, so you must just feel right at home over here. I love it, yeah. I like it a lot.

It feels a lot like Wales and Scotland and parts of England and you know, I just feel a oneness with the people. Can I say that? Yeah, you certainly can. We welcome it, in fact. Now, you're in the movie Fighting With My Family with quite a cast

and written and directed by Stephen Merchant. We saw it very recently. Did you meet Ricky and spend some time with the character, or did you just from the documentaries and read about him and base it off that? I was really afraid to meet him. And I didn't want to meet him and then do like an impression of Ricky. Because I think if the person you're doing doesn't like that impression, I've got to handle who he was as a man and what his motive was as a father.

And I kind of want it to be that, you know. And then pray to God that he doesn't tear my arms out of their sockets on the red carpet. So has he yet seen the film and your portrayal of him? He's seen it a couple of times and he's thrilled now. He's really happy. Wow. Which means that I might live longer than

the red carpet. Is he still running the wrestling in Norwich? Yeah, they still have a thriving I think as a result of the documentary and the film starting to take off and The Rock and I think they're starting to actually pick up a bit of traction and getting lots of people

in and coming to see the WAW wrestling up in norwich that was part of what i liked about the film is that you know those guys it's not all glitz and none of it's glitz and glamour you know it's blood sweat and tears and they're putting up a ring on one night then they wrestle and they take it down and stick it in a van and drive up to the next place and they're still in front of like 30 people it's just a thankless task and they do it because they love it and they're entertainers and I understand that.

Well, I mean, that's probably why he loves the film. You're selling him some tickets. God, I hope so. Now, Stephen Merchant wrote it and there were some parts that felt very, like some of the lines

were very Stephen Merchant. What was it like working with Stephen? It was good, you know. I've known Stephen for years, and we've always just met at bits and pieces and parties and do's and, you know, gravitated toward one another and just spoke nonsense and made each other laugh, and that was kind of it, really, and that's often enough.

But he wrote this and was pleased enough that he kind of had me in mind for a part in Ricky. And he was great to watch direct, you know. I really like watching him. I like his style. And he's very generous as a director and as a person. And once we'd finished shooting what we needed to shoot what he needed, then we'd often do an alternative version or it would be looser.

And it's nice to be able to do that. It's nice to have a voice on a set too to be able to say, hey, let's try it like this. Did you actually do the wrestling? Like in the film there are scenes where you're involved in the wrestling. Was that you or stunt double? Well, I mean, we did everything.

Obviously, you know, I think when he edited the film together for the first time, it was like three hours long. So a lot of it has to come out. And so invariably some of the wrestling came out, but we did it all. Yeah, absolutely.

I get stunt doubles to do it too. And, but I, you know, I played rugby for years and I did martial arts and I like, I like physical contact, rough contact with other big men. No,

no judgment here. Yeah. So, you know, to get home of an evening covered in bruises and you think your liver might be torn, it's a nice sensation for me. And what was it like? There is a scene, not to spoil it for people who haven't seen it yet, there's quite a passionate open-mouthed kiss there with Lena Headey at the dinner table.

What was that like? Were you kissing her at the same time thinking, God damn, Susie Lannister? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm not even her brother.

So that was a nice sensation. We got a sense, Stephen sent me, or the company sent me like the 20 minute version of that table scene. At the end of which we kind of pash. Yeah. And I had forgotten, and I said to my girlfriend, at the end of which we kind of pash, and I had forgotten, and I said to my girlfriend,

hey, why don't we watch this scene that the production company has sent, and she said, yeah, and we put it on, and we were laughing about it, and about 10 minutes in, I thought, oh, hang on, this ends with us kissing passionately. And then me having to say to my girlfriend,

ah, come on, let's just turn it off. And she's like, no, you're being funny. I said, well, look, I think we kiss at the end of this scene. She was like, right, keep it on. And I had to watch it, which was weird and erotic. Yeah. Hey, thanks so much for the chat, Nat. Cheers, guys.

Thank you for having me. Have a good day. Flesh, Vaughan and Megan. The podcast. Nat Cross, lovely man. Fighting With My Family. The movie is out now. Lena Headey.

Lovely man. Every time we talk to him. Someone describes me as a lovely man. They won't, though. That's the thing. They won't. They won't. No, you're going to be like, maybe one day.

They won't. Every time we talk to him, he's just so nice. He is. He's a really good dude. Like, so lovely. Selena Heddy, who plays Cersei Lannister, she's in the movie too. She's on the phone with us quarter past eight this morning. I was chatting with a friend yesterday on Facebook.

That's not important, but that was where it was. It wasn't in person. It was online. And I know they went to a wedding last weekend. Yep. And I said, oh, how was that wedding? I wasn't expecting an invite, so I wasn't one of those, how was that wedding? Like, you know, when you're not invited, but you think you probably should have been entitled to an invite.

I knew a few people that went to weddings last weekend after, obviously, the tragic events a week ago. And, yeah, they did say it was like, they were somber, but also quite, like, you know, at the same time. You've got to celebrate love. It was celebrating love. Celebrating happiness, yeah. They said it kind of took their mind off it for a little bit, which was nice after watching it unfold on Friday. But they said the most notable part of this, a wedding,

and I've been to a wedding where this has been done before too, and I thought it was wildly uncouth. Why did you just look at Megan? No, no, no, no, no. It wasn't Megan's wedding that did it. Well, there's something I did. No, no, no, no. You haven't done this at that did it. It was something I did. No, no, no, no. You haven't done this at either of your weddings. Maybe something for Wedding 3.

Okay. So, you arrive. I like how we talk about Wedding 3 like World War 3. You know the threat is imminent. And I don't know, maybe North Korea are involved. So, you arrive.

There's a little bit of standing around. Then the ceremony starts. Yeah. Then after that, there's a light bit of mingling. Yeah. A glass of champagne handed around. Congratulations. Yeah, congratulations.

Yeah. And some light canaps. Yeah. And then the bride and groom and bridal party go for photos. Yeah. And people are left to mingle. Yep. Oh, God, what happened?

At this stage of this wedding my friend went to, the bar, which had been open during the post-ceremony mingling, four drinks, three drinks, became a cash bar while the bride and groom weren't there. And then while they were away for a couple of hours getting photos, everyone had to pay for their own drinks. And then when they got back, the bar tab started again. No, that's unbelievable.

You can't leave your guests to pay for their drinks. How long were you away for your photos? I'm not sure. It can take a while. It can be like two hours. Was it like an hour and a half? Yeah, yours went pretty quick, I think. Probably because the bar was open.

Wedding one, though, you did your destination photo. You were gone longer in wedding one. Yeah, we drove away. Yeah, but wedding two wasn't that long and you stayed at the same place. Yeah. I kind of like that. No. No, because first wedding, what table had too much to drink?

Every table. No, your table. Is the answer our table? Your table. And then during the speeches, there was very rowdy and disruptive behavior. And I thought at that moment, maybe the bar should have been shut down while we went away for two hours. So I'm imagining some people might even shut it down. And so drinks aren't even available.

Pause it. But what are people supposed to do? Well, yeah, because it's a long... Like, talk to each other. Yeah, but it's a long time. You need a bit of social lubricant. Yes, yes, yes, yes. You need a couple of shampers.

You're going to be talking like someone's uncle's going to come in hot with some chat about the Warriors. And you need a couple of like... No, but the idea is you've already had a couple of drinks. And then the food's still available. And there'll be like, you know, water and stuff. Oh, but then you get a couple of drinks and you get that's still available and there'll be like you know water and stuff oh but then you get a couple of drinks and you get that

you get the taste you get the taste for it you can't go dry without it or you get you get a couple of tokens so that everyone's allowed two drinks

oh no that would be even worse like when you're arriving at the wedding the ushers are showing everyone their seats and handing out two tokens now hold on to these tokens

these are for the drinks while the bride and groom go and get their photos taken but some people need just a wee reminder to calm your farm Handing out two tokens. Now, hold on to these tokens. These are for the drink star while the bride and groom go and get their photos taken. But some people need just a wee reminder to calm your farm while, you know, because otherwise you get rowdy speeches. I don't think it's a bad idea. Well, I'd like to be given some notice that that's going to happen so I can start double parking.

Well, I'd take a hip flask. I'd take some hip flasks. Wedding number three, I'm probably going to have tokens. Okay? That's your notice. Okay. I like this token. Yeah.

Down for that. Is wedding three Las Vegas themed? It feels like. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan played their homecoming show last night. Thanks to Air New Zealand as well for getting them there. Air New Zealand team were there. They were free pizzas as well that Broods put on.

And just for all of those emergency services, the volunteers, the members of the council and all the services around Tasman and Nelson, it was quite a night. It has been a crazy week in New Zealand. I'll never forget the week. Neither will I. And how it's all played out in New Zealand. It was this day a week ago,

Friday a week ago, that the atrocities happened in Christchurch. I just logged onto Instagram before and I thought this was nice. I don't know if you guys got this. It was just a flash that came up before I was able to see Instagram. Yeah, I've got it as well.

It says, together in tears, together in hope, in remembrance of every person lost in Christchurch, if you need support, call or text 1737. I've heard that number,

1737, has been 10 times busier this week than the average week. Yeah. With texts and calls and everything. And I believe it also relies on volunteers,

like professional volunteers, doctors and stuff who give up their time to help people. Which is amazing. Yeah. Because, you know, so many people have, especially counsellors, services have just stepped up this week just to offer help if you need it in Christchurch and around the country. And today there's events happening. There's going to be

a minute silence, two minute silence. That's going to be something that everybody gets involved with around the country including radio stations, TV channels and everything that will be broadcast. A call to prayer is going to be broadcast as well. I know TVNZ and Radio New Zealand, the national

broadcaster. Yeah, that's going to happen. Which is the first time that's ever happened in New Zealand. Yeah, 1.30 and then 1.32 for the two minute silence. There's also at mosques around New Zealand linking hands around mosques. That's happening at midday. I believe

that's happening at all different places around New Zealand. A lot of vigils as well over the weekend, today and over the weekend. So I know New Zealand Herald, the news sites, have a lot of those lists compiled. But with the good comes the bad, I don't want to give these people any airtime. But it's worth saying that if you know someone in your life that is posting wildly inappropriate and bad taste things on Facebook, negative things, there are seriously repercussions.

Two Ray White real estate agents have been kicked out of being Ray White real estate agents because of a string of racially charged Facebook posts, not only relating to the attack, and not only against Muslims. These were across the board racist posts. When someone looked into the history of their public posts, there was all sorts. So they're

out. Ray White's like, we want nothing to do with you. And if word gets out, if you know someone putting this sort of stuff online and they have a business and it gets out, their business is over. No one's going to want to touch them with a 10-foot barge pole. And I don't know if generally the people that have been caught out

in this sort of stuff are older people, so they're probably not aware of it. It's not an excuse, though. It's certainly not an excuse because they're still saying it and they're publicly saying it. It would be effectively like standing up on a public soapbox and yelling it. They'll drag people down with them.

They're using the excuse of freedom of speech, but the charge, and they can be charged, is inciting racial disharmony. Yeah. And it's good to see people are being charged. And it's like, there's a doctor. There's an Auckland doctor who has been stood down over anti-Muslim comments in the last week. And it's happening around New Zealand. It's happened in Auckland, those cases. But also people have been charged in, I think, Hastings. And I think the Lower North Islands had a couple as well.

Masterton, I believe, a 28-year-old woman was charged with spreading... Yeah. Just... What did you say the exact charge was? Inciting racial disharmony. You say it's mostly these older people, but I don't think sometimes it isn't. Oh, no, no, no. And that's what's sad to me. You mean the comments on Facebook?

Well, yeah, and you see comments. Because they don't understand that Facebook is as public as it is. Yeah, yeah, and they can, somebody, and they might have a private account, but somebody that they're friends with or have been friends with at some stage could screencap that,

send it to somebody and then all get taken down. One of Jacinda Ardern's press conferences came up live streaming on Facebook on one of the news sites. I was like, well, this is great.

I'm going to hear her talk. You know, she was, you know, a lot of positive messages and she was talking about the gun reform. And oh my God, some of the comments, I was great. I'm going to hear her talk. You know, she was, you know, a lot of positive messages and she was talking about the gun reform. And oh my God, some of the comments, I was like, I cannot believe people in New Zealand are saying these things.

Some of the things. I don't want to say what they were saying. No, don't. And then it's like anytime you see, and not just about this, but if there's ever any like International Women's Day was another one. You see people saying the most horrendous thing, holding their daughters. No, that's what I clicked on.

This woman said, I don't want to say her comment. It was racist. I clicked on her profile. She was a mother, probably in her 30s. She had a child in her profile, and she had changed her profile pic to the I am Hope. What? I was like, what is God?

Like, it just made me so angry. And I think we have to call out those people that are our friends or family friends. Yeah. Or somebody that you know them. Their friend requested you on Facebook once. If I want to request them, they're going to say to mum. But you need to call these people out. Oh, yes.

They need to be told that it's not okay. We're all human beings. I okay. We're all human beings. I know. We're all the same. Even if you don't believe the same thing, we are all the same. Don't spread hate.

It's so toxic. I thought interesting last week when blood donations were being called for. That that is, your blood can be taken from you

and put in somebody else who's the same blood type and all races are all blood types. Like, yeah. That's exactly the same stuff coursing through all of our bodies. A Muslim could have very well saved a white supremacist's life, and they would be none the wiser. Exactly.

Exactly. I would like to see, because they do the text alerts, don't they? I'd love to see that text alert. I don't think they get into the specifics of who's got your blood. Maybe they should. Oh, God. Yeah, in that case, they bloody should. Yeah.

Fletch Warner Megan, the podcast. ZM. ZM, Fletch Warner Megan, 20 to 8. We wanted to hear from you on i100dollzm. You can text 9696 about mystery switches. Like, if you've ever had one in your house. Like if you've ever had one in your house. Yeah, and you don't know

what it does. We moved into a new house at the end of last year and we've got so many mystery switches. Like there's a switch, there's a set in the kitchen, there's a three light switch.

Yeah. Top one, mystery switch. Bottom one, kitchen lights. Yeah. And then the bottom one, like the hall that comes off the kitchen. Right. Top one, mystery switch. Bottom one, kitchen lights. Yep. And then the bottom one, like the hall that comes off the kitchen. Right.

Top one, complete mystery. And this is my problem. I'm so obsessive that I'll stand by it and I'll flick it and I'll be like, what do you do? What do you do? What do you do? I'll turn off every other light and just stand there flicking in case it's like some light for a cupboard or something that I haven't found. What if they just only had a three switch and they just filled the hole?

Why would they do it? Why would you do that? Just to annoy someone like you. And then by the door, there's like two lots of two switches. Yeah. And three of them do something except one doesn't.

Oh, God. But the problem is also when we moved into this house, there was like six working light bulbs in the whole house. So that was a mystery when we first moved in as well, replaced all those. Because nowadays you can get light. I love it when the switches have on them what they do, like fan. Yes.

Heat. Heater. And blackened in. Yeah, those are great switches. You can buy them. I mean, I don't know if you could put them in yourself, but I'm pretty sure you could. Have you ever just walked into a J.A. Russell wholesaler?

What, their place where electricians go? No. You've got no place as a civilian going in there. Especially if you've got absolutely no electrical qualifications. But, oh, switch porn. Do they have light switches? Switch porn. They've got dimmers.

They've got, like, labeled switches. It's good times at J.A. Russell've got dimmers. They've got, like, labeled switches. Oh, wee! It's good times to jump. It's good time for J.A. Russell. Right, okay. This is like your equivalent of, like, a bra wholesaler or something. Yeah, like going into the bend on outlet. Because that doesn't excite me as much.

But then you've got the bend on outlet. All right, love, you go to the bend on outlet. I'll go to J.A. Russell. Yeah. Just, what are you going to J.A. Russell for? You know, you never know. You just might find a switch you like. Look at outlets. Yeah. Just, what are you going to J.A. Russell for? You know, you never know. You just might find a switch I like. Look at outlets.

Oh, look at outlet plugs. Oh, yeah. No wonder I've got the USB outlets. You know, you can get a power port with a USB stick in it anyway. Anyway, beside my bed is another one of our house's mystery switches. Okay. Beside your bed? I know.

So, beside your bed, traditionally, it would be the light for the room so you can switch off your light for the bed. On Shardé's side of the bed, there's two switches. One does an outside light, which I'm not down for. No, but you don't have to leave. Well, you don't have to control the outside. Outside the bedroom. Yeah, but you might be in bed and be like, oh, you hear something.

Yeah, you flick it on. Oh, I don't think like that. Have it by the door if you're getting up, flick it on when you get to the door. Sometimes I feel having switches by the bed's too much because if you're getting up. Flick it on when you get to the door. Sometimes I feel these, having switches by the beds too much. Because if you've ever stayed in like a hotel or a motel and there's like, you get into bed and you all get all ready. And then you flick it off, but it doesn't flick the light off, the right light off. Then you have to get out anyway. And then you're going to find there's a million lights on in the room.

And it turns on again. And then you're like, well, how do I? I think in hotels there should be a switch beside the bed called the master switch. And it turns off everything. Oh, I stayed in a hotel once that had that. That would have been a long play. But then it didn't charge my phone, so I think it was master switch. Oh, okay, for everything.

For literally everything. And your minibar went warm. So, Sade, side of the bed, bedroom light, outside light. My side of the bed, mystery switch. And every night, I flick it. I bet you do. I'm like, what do you do, little Switch? And we've been in there.

No, we've been in there for December, January, February. So almost four months. And I flick this thing every night. Little flick before bed. Every night. Running a little couple of flicks before bed. So running it parallel to this story of the Mystery Switch is that we've got a central heating thing

that's not working. And so I've got a lovely young man called Kyle's come out. Real, like, ladies, if you need your aircon service, he's very pleasurable on the eye. And he's coming to my house again today, so this won't be awkward. And I said, oh,

this unit just won't go. Like, there's no power to the little keypad. Guess what? He traces it back yesterday. The switch beside my bed controls the mains for the air conditioning unit outside. What's that got a switch there for? In bed. In bed.

What do I need to be able to switch on? What if it gets too chilly? No, but it's got an auto-control thing. Oh, right. So you could go to bed in the keypad in the hallway. You could be like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, and type in, like, keep it at 22 degrees. Right, yeah.

What do I need to switch? The main switch shouldn't be beside my bed. Well, that means you didn't want to get up and turn the air con off. But now it's going to have to be one of those light switches that you put a bit of tape across and write, do not touch on. And I hate those switches. No, but you're the only one who would flick it. No, you can get a blank switch just to fill in the gap.

Or you can get a whole new thing to... Wire it on full time. Yeah. Because it's got a switch outside one of those big... Oh, and if we're talking about hot switches, you know those big switches? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're talking about hot switches. Well, maybe I want to change what we're taking phone calls on to what's the hottest switch.

I'm going to need a little J.A. Russell fix this afternoon. Is it just a lads thing? Because I could easily go to an electrical place and look at the switch. Have you seen the Matt Black switches? What? Now, you could do a Matt Black switch. Because you know I love Matt Black. That's ridiculous.

They need to be clean and I've got grubby children fingers in the house. Oily hands on you, Matt Black. That's what I'm looking forward to in my retirement. Matt Black switches. So we want to take some calls. Yes, I'd like to withdraw all my KiwiSaver. Oh, really? What for?

Matt Black switches. We want to know if you've ever had a mystery switch in a flat or a house that you've lived in and maybe it took you a while to figure out what it was for. This was also an episode of Friends. Everything can be traced back to an episode of Friends. Mystery Switch. Because Monica had a Mystery Switch. Yeah, and it controlled Joey and Chandler's TV.

Because that was what they could remember, that they had a Mystery Switch. We couldn't remember what it controlled. So give us a call, 0800-DARLS-AT-M-9696. Do you have a Mystery Switch? What did it do? Fleshforn and Megan, the podcast. ZM.

Flashback Friday is coming up. We'll kick off Friday Jams. Megan, it's your turn this week. It is. It is a beautiful song for today. Okay. Shall I say? Yes.

Nice. All right. Okay. We're talking about mystery switches in your house. And thanks to all the offer of people who work at electrical wholesalers that say we can go in and have a couple of beers. Not today. Do it when I'm not with you.

No, but we could just go in and get switches that say like with the writing on, like lights. Yeah. Somebody said that they have a particular J.A. Russell's outlet that they go to, and there's a guy in there that they love talking to because he always gets them throughing over the latest switches. And, no, Megan, do you know what? Lots of females have texted. They love getting excited about the switches.

That's cool. It's not for me. Somebody said, I'm a 24-year-old female, and I'll always stop in an electrical wholesale to through over the new season switches. New season? I didn't know this was a seasonal thing. So, you know, you guys, I don't think you guys have been to Bree's flat,

her apartment. Yeah. She has these switches that are like push-button ones and they're so sexy. You just called a light switch sexy. No, but it is. Well, you know, Ross Boss installed his own electrical switch

so if his house burns down, he should not be insured. So he can get Alexa to turn on his lights. Yeah, he just says, hey Alexa, turn on all the lights. All the bathroom.

Oh, that's pretty cool. But he's like literally standing right next to the light switch. He is the laziest person we know. So taking your text messages and your calls and people, so many people with

mystery switches. Mystery switches in the house. Someone said, we've been living in our house for 15 years and there are three switches. We don't know what they do. What is what?

No, I couldn't deal with that. I'm keeping an eye out for next time Grab One has one of those, get two hours of electrician to come around for 50, 60 bucks or whatever. And you get like a good deal, and they come around, and you're like, all right, mate, find that switch. Here's the only thing you need to do. Find what these switches do. Alright,

we'll take more of your calls and texts next. Shawn Mendes, Lost in Japan. It's 828ZM. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.

In about 20 minutes time, Lena Headey, who is Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones, she is in the new movie Finding With My Family. A great movie. It's out now

and in about 20 minutes time we're going to talk to her and I'm terrified. I am too. I know she's lovely in real life. And I know she's not Circe. But I don't know if she's up for the Game of Thrones questions, which we will do after we ask her about the movie. We're going to have to somehow seamlessly

seg into asking about Game of Thrones. So this other thing that you've been doing for a few years. It seems I'm going for the old lady Tyrell approach. I'm showing no weakness. Tell us who's had with me. Talking about mystery switches, Vaughan, you've got a couple in your new place. Yeah, yeah.

One of them's solved now. It controls the air conditioning unit from in my bed. I don't know why. Not alone. A lot of people have messaged and called, and we're going to start with Martina. Now, Martina, you found a mystery switch. Oh, yeah. I've got one in my home.

I've sort of got two switches in my hallway. Okay. And the second one, I have no idea what it does. And I'm an apprentice Sparky, and I just haven't really been bothered to find out yet. Oh, my God. But this is your area. It would kill me. Oh, you could easily just flick that, you know,

you could take the cover off, get it out, see where the wire leads. Yeah, but then you have to go into the roof and my roof is just not a great time, to be honest. Rats as well. But if you're a sparky, aren't ceilings and under houses kind of your main place that you go in a house? Yeah,

mine is like one of the worst, so I try to avoid it. I know you have to do it at work, you don't want to have to come home and do it again. Exactly.

Alright, and do you get excited about light switches? Yeah, I do. I really want to buy some for my house but,

you know, being a princess I'm pretty broke so I just want to ignore it. Well, you can't even work out the ones that you've got. Baby steps, Baby steps.

Somebody messaged in saying, we're talking about as a joke, withdrawing our KiwiSaver to get sexy matte black switches. Someone's like, you'll probably need it. $200 a switch. Oh, what? That's ridiculous. And $100 per switch to add the plate. Oh, no.

I'm not spending that much money on a silly switch. See, I still am. I still am. I still am. You are such a tire. Hey, thanks you call Martina. Yeah, I'm hoping I'll have grandkids one day. So I think I'm stuck with greasy hands for life. Okay, Tess, you've got a mystery switch at your house.

Tess. Oh, hi. Yeah, I just flicked on the mystery switch to get to talking. So, Tess, have you found out what it does? No. So, it's in our lounge and it kind of looks like, you know, the number five on a dice. So, we've got a switch up the top and a dimmer, a switch down the top and a dimmer. And in the middle is this mystery switch that we have never been able to figure out what it does.

We've been here for about three years. Now, do you know, someone messaged in, and this could be an electrician lull. This is really cruel. When they were renovating their house, they put a light switch in their lounge that does absolutely nothing. And so they said when they sell the house and the next people that buy it, if it ever drives them nuts enough they take it off the wall, written on the wall behind the hole

that the switch sits in is, lol. Oh my God. I know. You need to take the cover off. That is torture. I know. That is not nice.

That should not be allowed. No, I was just thinking about that the whole time. I know. It should be illegal. Tess, thank you for your call. Some text messages. Somebody said we moved into a rental.

We got the walkthrough on how everything worked. Yeah. One thing we weren't told, the switch beside the bed that we held off switching for a week because we didn't know

what it did, switched it. It was a panic alarm and the alarm went off. We had not been given a code and it just bled and bled and bled, and then the police turned up. So that's a few people who have said that. There's been mystery switches in their house, and they've switched it.

And there's been a panic alarm. And for old people that might, like, take a tumble or be in bed and ill, they get installed next to their bed. So they can flick it. But I feel like that needs to be labelled, this is an alarm. Well, what about those people that message in? They've got one that says, do not switch. Yeah, and it's got tape over it, and they moved in, and it's been like that needs to be labelled. This is an alarm. Well, what about those people that message in? They've got one that says, do not switch. Yeah, and it's got tape over it, and they moved in, and it's been like that.

And they're resistant. Oh, I'd just press it. Somebody else says, our house drives us nuts. We've got heaps of labelled switches. So the ones we were talking about, the sexy ones with the name on it. It'll say fan. We've got no fans. There's a switch that says, in sync-erator.

We do not have an in sync-erator. Do you reckon that the wiring's just in there In case one day you want it? Yeah, maybe Or not Well, they plan to get one in Now I want sexy black switches But they're too

I can't believe they're so expensive I know Well, someone texted in and said Stuff $200 for black switches I just spray-painted mine black That's an option No, Milo I could spray-paint mine black

And it'd get stuck. Stuck on off. Yeah, you've got to take them apart and spray paint them. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. The Podcast. We've got Cersei Lannister joining us on the phone. Lena Headey, who is in a new movie which is out now

in cinemas across the country, starring herself and Nick Frost fighting with my family, which is a true story. Yeah, it's the story of Paige from the WWE and her rise to wrestling superstardom. Got The Rock in it, directed by Stephen Merchant, of course, who did The Office with Ricky Gervais. It's 92% of Rotten Tomatoes.

It's an incredible movie. It's quite heartwarming. Vince Vaughn's in it. Vince Vaughn? Vince Vaughn. Didn't know he was in it when we saw it. I was like, Vince Vaughn's in it. Because people quite often say that they listen to Vince Vaughn and Megan.

Yeah. Which is lovely. A compliment. High praise. Also coming up, some high praise for Megan's mum. Because if you were listening yesterday, we were invited to Megan's mum's place for dinner because we're in Nelson today, broadcasting out of our Nelson studio. Yeah.

And we got to try the famous casserole. The chicken casserole with corn chips on top. But now... It's famous. There's a few other people that want to try... Yeah. The famous chicken casserole. All right, we'll touch on that next.

Friday Flashback. Okay, so I have decided today we need to do something that is full of love. We need to do a that is full of love. We need to do a somewhat uplifting song that shares love. So I've found what I think is the perfect song. And I've also discovered that it is a cover. Which I mean, I know this song, but I've never known that it was a cover. I had no idea.

No. So it is, it covers a song from 1986. And you can actually, I've never heard it before. And it's very 80s. So I think we'll all agree that this version I'm about to play is an improvement. Right. Okay. But it's, yeah.

What can I say about it? It is, well, it was released originally in 2008. And then it was re-released in 2009. We're big fans of her and her band in New Zealand. She was here just a few months ago. Yeah. Do you know what's shocking, though, is that this song, although we all know and love it, it reached number 50 in the charts in New Zealand.

So maybe it's one of the ones at the time we love it much more now. Yeah. So with everything that's going on today, we are going to spread the love with Florence and the Machine, You Got the Love. It's my Friday flashback. It's it in. I know I can count on you Sometimes I feel like sin Lord, I just don't care

But you've got the love I need to see me through Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough And things go wrong no matter what I do Now and then it seems like a life is just too much But you've got the love I need to see me through Thank you. I know my saviour's love is real. You know it's real. You've got the love. You've got the love. You've got the love. You've got the love.

You've got the love. You've got the love. Florence and the Machine, you've got the love. It's our Friday flashback today on ZM, kicking off Friday Jams. Joining us on the show next, Lena Headey. Cersei Lannister, she is in a new movie called Fighting With My Family, which is out now with Nick Frost, and she's on the phone with us in like five minutes, five, six, seven minutes.

We, last night, were invited to the Sellers family home up on the hills there. Wonderful view. Arrived a smidge too late for the sunset after Brood's gig. Smidge too late. But still a wonderful view. And we were treated with a recipe we've heard about for years and have never had. Megan's mum's famous chicken casserole. That's my favourite.

Talked with corn chips. That's what I always ask for when I go home. Now, we learnt that the corn chips were added as a children pleaser. So this was a plain chicken casserole. But then, you know, kids can be fussy. So put chips on top of anything with some cheese and they'll probably get involved. Because I put this on my Instagram story, and immediately people were like,

why are there nacho chips on top of a casserole? And I answered that with, why not? Yeah, I'll agree. They were delicious. It was amazing. Now, oh, we've got to mention, though, Megan was very upset. Ray Ray left the bones and the chicken last night. So, okay, she roasts the chicken.

She roasts two chickens beforehand, and she peels the meat off and then puts bones and the chicken last night. So, okay, she roasts the chicken she roasts two chickens beforehand and she peels the meat off and then puts it in the casserole. There was like legs and wings in there. Yeah, drumsticks. No, I was fine with that. I was like, tonight's not the night to be trying things. No. Tonight's the night for tried and true. There was some pre-tabling

discussion in the kitchen. The recipe's top secret, but we picked a couple of ingredients because we were like, we want to know what's in this because it tasted amazing. So we don't know everything, but there was cream, there was white wine, spring onions, some mustard

because I could see the little mustard seeds. So I was like, I've got you on that. You're not actually missing too many ingredients, but there's one, well there's two vital ingredients. Wine. Did you say wine i said yeah white wine yeah uh so also was she giving you white wine as children yeah but you cook it out you cook the alcohol i say when i make a crock pot and i pour half a bottle of red wine and i'm like it'll cook her off but she won't even taste cheese boozed because she's like one for me

or two for me or one for the casserole. One for the casserole. So last week, my wife's love affair with Josh Emmett's Instagram page started. I was like, what are you watching? Because she was like, ooh. I was like, what are you watching? She's like, I'm watching Josh Emmett make mashed potatoes. He was

like a judge on one of these shows, wasn't he? Master chef. But he also has, he earned his first Michelin star in like 2005, I think. Worked with Gordon Ramsay in London. Have you seen

his mashed potatoes though? Yeah. And he's got heaps of restaurants, doesn't he? Yeah. Yeah. Rata is one of his restaurants

in Queenstown. That's a treat. Is that ooh la la? That's a treat. Would I be allowed to go in shorts? I mean, you could. Okay. But I'd be allowed to go in shorts In my I mean you could Okay

But I'd be judged Yeah Some other people might Judge you a weaver And he's got a few Few of these places So we've been in

Communicado on the gram Right Josh Emmett and I I've been admiring His extractor fan Is that a metaphor Yes but no No because he's got

A flash kitchen It pops up out of the stove And so it's not above I bet he's got a Button for that, a switch, a sexy switch. Oh, he does. I've seen him push it. It's on the side. And set in the bench.

So we were talking about that and Megan's mum said, send him a photo of my casserole. I said, okay. So I sent him a photo. He's got a Michelin star. He doesn't want to see your casserole. I said, hey, mate, Megan's mum wants you to see this casserole. So I sent him a photo and he's like, what the hell is that on top?

Spuds. I said, no, it's corn chips. And he said, corn chips are legal to put on top of a casserole. Is that legal? I bet it does look delicious, though. And then, of course, there was a little bit of intergenerational competition. So Megan's made a crumble for dessert. So she then demands I send a photo of

Josh Amber to be a crumble. Yeah, I wanted to judge my crumble. And it was good crumble. Right. As far as crumbles go, it was a bloody good crumble. And he said that crumble looks very amazing. So there you go. You've had a compliment on your crumble from someone with a Michelin star. I know. That's really made my day.

Yeah. And he even re-grammed your mum's casserole. Yeah. What was the comment on that? Because I wasn't sure that it was entirely complimentary. Or like an underhanded compliment. I've been enlightened. This is Megan's mum's chicken casserole with corn chips on top.

Who knew? I feel a cooking demo coming. Oh, he's going to try and recreate's mum's chicken casserole with corn chips on top. Who knew? I feel a cooking demo coming. Oh, he's going to try and recreate your mum's cassie. Brilliant. Yeah. Imagine we go to Rata in Queenstown next time, get a lovely bottle of pain au revoir, sit back, and on the menu it's like casserole. And underneath, you know, it's like a simple title,

and then underneath they get into the flashiness. Topped with non-GMO, locally grown organic corn, crushed and pasted into chip shape. I'm terrible at describing food. Nacho Chups. Nacho Chups. I bet you there'd be some baby boomers that'd order that too. Yeah. They'd love it.

Love a casserole. Nacho Chups casserole was delicious, Josh. Well, you've had some high praise. I have. And so has your mum. So, good work. God, the sellers, woman,

were bloody a flutter. With the silver fox of sheffery. So, I've had a lot of people messaging it because I put it on my Instagram story. People want the recipe. I think your mum's just got to release it.

Oh, you should see people laying it on thick on Megan's Instagram telling her they're having a hard time. Their car got broken into and they don't have insurance. Can I please have this recipe?

But sometimes you just need a nice casserole. Oh, God, I love a casserole. It makes everything better. Oh, my God. There's no better comfort food than a casserole. We'll see if we can twist

Megan's mum's arm. Because we nearly got it out of her last night. Somebody said, Megan, your mum should try putting those little tater tots, those little potato gems, you know what I mean? Those little potato balls. They firm up nice. Get a bit of crispness. It's not crunchy, though.

Oh, yeah. Okay. I don't know if I'm open to new things. All right. Next on the show, the movie is out now in cinemas called Fighting With My Family. Lena Headey, who is Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones, is on the show with us next. ZM's Fletch Warner-Megan, the podcast.

Joining us on the phone from the movie Fighting With My Family, Lena Headey, good morning. Good morning. We saw the movie recently, and we've got a show here in New Zealand called Outrageous Fortune, and it's about a rough family, but, you know, everyone can kind of relate to them and they're very, very likeable. So it felt like a really nice character that you were playing.

Yes, I love Julia. I think she's an incredible woman. She's kind of bawdy and got a mouth like a sailor. You had some great filthy lines. I was quite shocked at times. I know. There's some crackers in there, isn't there? There really was.

We talked to Nick Frost, and he said that big, passionate kiss at the dinner table got him in trouble with his girlfriend, though. He said he'd forgotten about it and wanted to watch a cut with her, and then halfway through remembered it ended like that, and he tried to eject, but she wouldn't let him. And now he's only allowed to work with Simon Pegg. Yeah, no, fair enough. I mean, we did both stages. We'd just go for it, and we did.

It was kind of, I think they didn't show the full kiss because it was probably disgusting. Julia, who your character's based on, did you meet her before you played the character, or was this just a, you'd based it on the movies and what you'd read about her, sorry, the documentary and what you'd read about her, sorry the documentary and what you'd read about it Yeah, I just based it on

watching the doc and I watched lots of interviews that Julia had done and I'm about to meet her in 10 minutes. Oh really? Wow, like for the first time? Yeah Wow. Do you know if she's seen the movie? She has and apparently she's super happy so

but if you don't hear from me again That'll be that situation then. And have you ever liked wrestling? Has that ever been a thing you've watched? I've watched British wrestling which was old men in dirty lycra

Is that your thing? Yes They would literally put their pints down and then get to it sort of dirty lycra. Is that your thing? Yeah. Yeah. They would literally put their pints down and then get to it. Wow. And it's not unlike

the nice kind of scenario of that WAW situation where you go to little gigs around the country and it's sort of intimate and charged and the audience is part of it.

And so I grew up with that and then WWE came in and my brother loved that so I also was sort of privy to all of that stuff. Were you like because my when we were into wrestling as kids my sister was the smallest so she was the easiest to do the moves on was that the situation in your family? My son now does like to run at me and I often am heard, give me a warning. They hit you with force and speed. Yeah. What was it like playing, by the way, we probably had a bet in studio, you probably have a timer to see how far through an interview

you can get before there's a Game of Thrones question, so you can stop your timer now if you're running that. What was it like playing a likeable character? Was that a nice change? I don't know what you mean, but yeah. Are you referring to a certain person? Wow. Wow.

Even just answering the phone, I was like, oh God, I just felt this way. It was chilling, Lena. Oh my God. That just shows you're doing a great job. Yeah. I saw you on Jimmy Kimmel, and he was giving you shit. It was quite relentless.

Is life unbearable at the moment with that? Yes. Can you go to the supermarket? Yes, I just have to be, I just can't stand still. It's like if I move, I'm not noticed as much. Has anyone ever chanted shame at you in the street? Yeah, that happens far too much. Oh, stop that, people.

Well, hey, we loved the movie. It was just, like, to know at the end it was a true story. I didn't really know too much about the story. It was incredible. Good luck meeting Julia, who you played in the movie, in 10 minutes' time. And again, if we don't hear from you, we'll present this interview to the police.

Okay, thank you very much. That'd the police. Okay, thank you very much. That'd be great. Awesome. Thank you very much. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, just before we get to the fact of the day, would you like to tell people about your rash?

No, no, no, really. That was something I was pretty happy just to... Oh, okay. Keep amongst ourselves. It's a weird... Where do you tweet me that's the rashy one? I know, but that's why this is weird. I'm just worried that that's not

Show me No because you've got one up there as well Where? Oh my god there's more there Okay no seriously It's all around your back It's on your back It's all on your back

I'm not even joking it's on your back My back has been itchy Lift up your shirt on the back Oh okay it's a your shirt on the back. Oh, okay. It's a little bit on your back. Oh, my God. Sorry.

Because I don't get rashy. I never get. My skin's like leather. It's very. Have you been bitten? Hard wearing. No, but it doesn't look bitey. It might be. Because the other day when I was outside, I was.

Don't touch it. I may have been bitten by something. Don't touch me. Oh, no. Don't worry. Oh, no. It's fine. Don Don't touch it. I may have been bitten by something. Don't touch me. Oh, no, don't worry. Oh, no. It's fine. Don't worry about it. We're in a little incubator with you.

It's fine. Is it itchy? Is this a great time to tell you my parents were anti-vaxxers? How do you guys feel about contagious diseases? Obviously not, no. Okay, well, we can move on now if you're happy. Okay, yep, I'm happy. I mean, it's hard on the radio. People can't see it.

Yeah, but I mean, just that you could, they probably have a really bad picture in their mind given by the outlandish reactions you both had to it. But it's time for... Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Today's fact of the day is that in 1976, a woman tried to sue Disney, the Disney Park, Disney World, Disneyland, those two parks, after she claimed that she was groped by one of the three little pigs. That's not funny.

It's a small world attraction, apparently, the three little pigs. She said she was groped by the three little pigs, and as a result, she put on 23 kgs. All three, or one of? One of. But unable to identify whether it was the brick one, the wood one, or the stick one. The stick one, brick one.

Were they building their houses? No, hay. Hay, wood. It would have been hay. Why? It was one of the pigs because he's obviously the stupidest one. Right. So she tried to sue them for $150,000 and she believed the groping led to her putting on 23 kgs.

So this actually got to the court. It was a closed court. Disney, the lawyers, and she had a photo with the pig. Yeah. And she said, this is the one. I was groped by this pig. Yeah. And so it went to court.

Do you know how they threw it out of court? The judge, apparently, because it was a closed courtroom, the judge got into the three little pig's costume because their argument was that the arms were inoperable stubs. Right. They couldn't move. Right. So they're saying that the pig's hand, the trotter,

may have touched the woman, but it's in no way an operable limb. Right. So she backed into the way an operable limb. Right. So she backed into the pig rather than the pig. Right. And this is, I didn't know this, but people like, this is a regular thing. People try to sue Disney for what their costumed characters have done.

There was an incident in 1978 where Winnie the Pooh slapped a kid around the head. Was that accidental? Well, apparently the kid was pulling on Winnie the Pooh and the worker was panicking that they were going to fall over and spun around. And when they spun around, again, inoperable stub arms, smacked the little kid and knocked him over.

But then the jury said, that again went to the court, right? And the jury said, no, there's like this, Winnie the Pooh was just turning around and this kid was at the wrong height. Because can you imagine how you can't fall over, Winnie the Pooh was just turning around and this kid was at the wrong height. Because can you imagine how you can't fall over as Winnie the Pooh and have like the costume head? It's intense. Yeah.

Right. I knew someone that was working on the Disney cruise ships when, do you remember the Disney head sex scandal? No. The people, so if you're a costumed performer at Disneyland, like you're on the line. Like, it could all go really bad for you.

Yeah. If you play up while you're in the costume. So they take their jobs very seriously. But on the cruise ships, apparently, some non-costumed performers got the heads of Mickey and Minnie and two of them engaged in an act. Fornication. Yep.

And making baby mice. And wearing their heads and there was photos taken. Now, that was a scandal. That was a huge, a huge scandal. Because obviously, yeah, it's not good for the image, is it? Well, Mickey and Minnie have been, like, together for years. We all know they're in a sexless, loveless relationship now. They're just there because if they divorce, God, who's going to get the Orlando park?

Who's going to get the LA one? It would be an admin nightmare if they separated at this time. It would be. But today's fact of the day is a woman tried to sue Disney in 1976 after she said she was groped by one of the three little pigs. Fact of the day, dayughan and Megan, the podcast. ZM presents Broods. It was Broods' homecoming last night.

It was their show in Nelson for the Nelson Tasman community after the Tasman fires to give back and say thanks. It was good for everybody to come together. We had a moment of silence as well for those that were lost in Christchurch. Yeah. So a good feeling of just everybody, you know, showing their love and showing their appreciation for, you know, those that helped out.

And we caught up with Caleb and Georgia backstage before the show. Well, I think we should start by somebody issuing somebody else an apology. Okay, so... I'm glad that you're actually here and everyone's okay because I nearly T-boned. No, you were nearly T-boned by me. So I couldn't see the cars coming. Why couldn't you see the cars coming?

Because he was cars parked. He had his eyes shut. He was cars parked along the road, so I was like, I'll just edge out. Probably faster than I should have. And what was that? A little maroon. It was a little Toyota Corolla. Sturdy.

Mum's old car. Mum's old car. We get to drive when we're back home. Oh my God, was it your mum's car? My mum's old car, yeah. That would have been so... When the kids come home, it's the kids' car. Oh yeah.

Except I don't really like to drive it because it's a manual. Oh, right. Is there an automatic for you to drive? It's just a big ute. But then I can't park that. So, you know, I'm just a passenger. You know, that's my vibe. Get driven around.

So seriously though, you guys are back in your hometown and you're here for a reason. Yes, to play a show. To play our songs, the new songs for the very first time. To the servicemen and women who helped basically keep the fires under control so that nobody lost like

all the people that did lose land or got evacuated because they were very close to losing a lot of their property and everything like that. The only thing we can do is play music so that's what we've got to do. Yeah, they've worked really hard to make sure that it's contained and so we're going to work really hard to let them have a good time.

Unleash. Unleash. Let the barriers down. So obviously you didn't go to this school, Georgia, but did you go to this? This is Nelson Boys? I did not. I used to just get absolutely pummeled out on that rugby field

by this college because... Our school sucked at sports. He said, this school's not... No one could beat Nelson Boys at rugby.

Uh, yeah. And I was not at a very good rugby school. But we were really good at arts. Ah, the arts. So we were there

at the right school for that. Yeah. Just for what we were going to do. Because they've got all their alumni on the wall out there. Yeah, there's a lot of rugby players. And then there's Guy Williams.

Rugby league, basketball, middle distance running, Guy Williams. Anyway, moving on, basketball. He's even put his photo next to all the people that have made the tour blitz. Doesn't he have like a sports towel around his shoulders as well? It's a Billy G yellow towel, but it does look like a sweat towel. Does your school have pictures of you in your hall? I don't know. I don't really go there much.

Neither. Well, I'll tell you what we'll be doing tomorrow morning. We'll be going to that bloody school and we'll be putting the photo up. Of Megan. I think they have one of our tour awards. We gave them one to look after. Oh yeah, that's right. Not just a picture of it. That would have been a bit sad.

At least they're proud of you. I think my school likes to ignore the fact that I even went there. Well, we'll show them, Megan. Are you sort of at the level where you could commission your own bronze statue and just put it in over a weekend? That's my dream.

It would be probably as big as this mug. Oh, damn it. Okay, we're going to need to sell a few more records before we can afford enough bronze scrap metal to melt down in sculpture. It's a dream of mine to get in there and erect a bronze statue at my old high school. Of you?

Yeah. Wow. Name someone better that I went to school with. Excluding the current Prime Minister. It's an amazing thing you guys are doing so we'll let you go and get ready to hit the stage. Thanks so much.

Thanks for coming down. You guys won't regret it. Nelson's a great place. Make some noise. Put your hands together for everything. For everything. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast. There is lots of vigils going on around the country today and over the weekend. And today is also Headscarf for Harmony Day. Now, this is in support of Muslim

women in New Zealand. Some of them were saying they were too afraid to wear headscarves out in public. So it's basically a show of solidarity. Now, I've seen a couple of people who are uneasy about it, and you don't want to be disrespectful. This was run through the Islamic Women's Council of New Zealand and the Muslim Association of New Zealand. Both organizations have given it their full support and have been humbled by the gesture. They've also said no rules. For this, this is just like absolutely humbling. Do your best. You can't offend anybody if you wear a headscarf.

Not today, no. I would say that generally like a pretty modest dress would probably be more appropriate if you're going to wear a headscarf to show your solidarity today. So that's like down past the knees? Yeah. Yeah, not like a mini skirt. Shoulders kind of covered, yeah. But yeah, they've found it very

humbling. So if you want to do that today, please feel free, is the message that they're putting out there. Also, nationwide today, a two-minute silence is going to be held. Now, this will be at 1.32. So a call to prayer is going to happen at 1.30, and then at 1.32,

a two-minute silence is going to be observed. In Auckland Domain, 6pm till 7pm tonight, this got moved from its original place because so many people indicated they wanted to attend on Facebook. Right. So Auckland Domain tonight from 6pm, North Hagley Park, Christchurch, 10am tomorrow, there is going to be a march that will take place and will start at North Hagley Park. So a huge amount of people have indicated they want to go along to that. And even

on Sunday, North Hagley Park again 5pm. So all of these events are on Facebook if you want to find out more details. And quite a few that we've missed have their local Facebook pages around the country. A lot of the lists are on NZ Herald website.

And also local mosques around the country today at lunchtime. People are just linking hands around the mosque. So I'm pretty sure any mosque near you will be doing this event. So just turn up and show your support. ZM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan, the podcast.
