This is the Fletch, Vaughan and Megan podcast, thanks to Sparks. Shoot incredible videos in super slow-mo with the Samsung Galaxy S9. 10 out of 10. ZDM's Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Thank you, Arnie. Welcome to the show, Fletch, Vaughan and Megan. Welcome to the show, finishing at 8.30 this morning. As in accordance to that story. So what they said, if you finish, if you do a nine to two work day and you do all your work, you can go home.

Yeah. And people are happier. Yeah. So the managing director went through some family stuff and had to take some time off work and was still working the same workload just in a shorter amount of time. And noticed that he was still getting everything done. He wasn't sick as much, didn't need as many mental health days. But what about Facebook and Instagram?

Well, that's the thing. You just do that between two and when you go to bed. Okay. Prioritise. So you think about how many YouTube videos, Facebook, time you waste. I know, but then you have to be like real focused for that amount of time.

That's hard. I could probably still slack off between nine and two. Yeah. And then to still leave. Our job mostly consists of slacking off. I reckon I could get it done even quicker. Test me. Let's not.

I've got great focus when it comes to not focusing. On the show today, joined in the studio by a special guest at 7.45, one of the stars of Deadpool 2. Yeah, Julian Dennison's popping in. We're going to see this movie at the weekend. It is so funny. Are we allowed to talk about what it was like yet? We signed a piece of paper, didn't we?

It's not out. It's not out. It was great. Let's just leave it at that. It was great. It was really great. And he's great in it as well. He's got a huge part in it too.

Don't say any more. No, I want to say that he's got his New Zealand accent in this though. Oh, yeah, yeah. He doesn't have to put on an American accent. They reference. They reference New Zealand. They reference it, yeah. He doesn't have to put on an American accent. They reference. They reference New Zealand. And we were in a cinema with about six people but everyone was like,

hey! When they mentioned New Zealand. All right, you lot, listen up. It's story time. All right, three news headlines. Three stories. A bit unusual. We have three news headlines. Three stories. A bit unusual, weird, quirky news stories. Vordermegan, you must pick one.

Headline one, man embezzling money doesn't do the maths. Headline two, police department's attempt to reach the youth fails. And headline three, pensioner loses patience. I like two, just right off the bat. What do you like, Vaughn? I've been thinking a lot lately.

Just. About, here we go, how I would launder money should I start an illegal anything. Why are you thinking about that? Well, this isn't laundering, this is embezzling. Oh, he was embezzling. Yeah, but then you've still got all this cash that you've got to put somewhere with no questions or anything. Why are you thinking about that? Well, this isn't laundering. This is embezzling. Oh, he was embezzling. Yeah, but then you've still got all this cash that you've got to put somewhere

with no questions asked. And if you deposit more than $10,000 into a bank in cash, questions are going to be asked. Well, I read a story the other day. The URD, is that what they're called? The IRD?

Yeah. They've got this like AO robot thing. Yeah. And if you've got any discrepancies in any of your like accounts or filings. Spending patterns. They're just going to be like bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. And. robot thing. Yeah. And if you've got any discrepancies in any of your, like, accounts or filings. Spending patterns and stuff. They're just going to be like, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop. And they'll know.

Yeah. You'll go to jail. Yeah. Right. Basically. Well, yeah, I was just watching, I've been watching Peaky Blinders. Oh, yeah. And they've got some illegal activities going, but they filter it through their legal gambling

thing. So I'm like, well, that would be perfect. Yeah. I'd have to buy a casino. I'd have to start up a gambling thing if I was to all of a sudden come into a lot of money. Okay, so which one then?

The embezzling money or the police department? Two. Megan's. What, Megan, did you choose two? Yeah. We'll go with that. Okay. Alright, sorry, just loading the story there. No, that's fine. It's a bit slow here. We go to Michigan.

The Michigan Police Department have jokingly renamed one of their cars... Policey McPolice Car. No. Harry McCar-Car. Now, they've done this. They've changed the decal on the police car in an effort to reach, as quoting one of the spokespeople for the police department, to reach the younger folk out there.

Radio. Who might not have the same kind of, you know, trust in the police department. They might not. Sure. Yeah. So they renamed one of their police cars, Po-Po.

Actually, that's really cool. How cool does that look? It's like a big black SUV that just says Po-Po. And where it would normally say police, big, those American style big letters. Capital Western font. Yep. It just says Popo. Yeah.

That's good. I thought the police would be like a legal requirement on their vehicles. Well, it's still got the lights. Still got the emergency 911. The insignia, right? The county insignia and stuff. It does. It's pretty cool.

It's like the New Zealand police force when they put the rainbow police car out there for Pride Week. Remember that? Yeah, that was good. Yeah, everyone was like, oh, this is great. And then like a month later,

someone was like, how much did that cost? And they were like, well, we are the police. We have to tell you it was $10,000. $10,000? To make people of a somewhat excluded part of society feel included?

Because it was only temporary. That was my problem. If you're going to spend 10K, leave it on. Leave it. Because then you'd be like, oh, my God, the rainbow car pulled me over. I know. Imagine a cop with a semi-automatic shooting at robbers from behind the rainbow car. Yeah.

Pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew, pew. If you've got any angst Immediately if that car pulled up You'd be like Okay I'll hand myself in Yeah You're driving along the road You're going too fast

And then the lights go on behind you And they've changed those to rainbows as well It's just a disco And instead of It's like a Madonna song Like a virgin And you're like, okay.

Touched for the very first time. Woo! I'd have Cher in my police car, to be honest. Yeah. Maybe these are all things that could reach out and help the youth. Yeah, just make them more.

Well, that wasn't the youth. Well, they got mixed reactions. Some feeling it was racist, saying, you know, watch out for the po-po and stuff like that. I don't think you can do anything right. Nah. What do you say? Kenya.

They're like, oh, let's try. Let's try. No, racist. Okay, we give up. No more trying. No one try. Yeah, racist. Okay, we give up. No more trying. No one try. Yeah, no one try anything. We had the best of intentions, but somebody didn't like it.

So let's all stop trying. F.M. Well, goodness me. If you're in the Papamoa, Mount Maunganui area, you might be familiar with the nudist beach. I've heard about it. I've never been. Yeah.

I know as a kid we were always like, gee, let's walk down to the nudist beach when we were staying at the mountain. Let's about it. I've never been. Yeah. I know as a kid we were always like, gee, let's walk down to the nudist beach when we were staying at the Mount. Let's do it. Let's pack a lunch. Let's go and see some boobies and a diddle. Yeah. Never did. No.

Never been to it. But I know about it because it's always in the news. Yeah. Because people don't like it, do they? Well, no. Now the problem is it's built up around it. But for decades there was this massive gap between where Mount Molinui ended and when Papamaa started. Right.

And it used to be a big farmland. So in the middle of that, isolated, away from campgrounds and families and batches, was Anutis Beach. But now that that land's been all filled in, the Anutis Beach is in a slightly more populated area. You may as well just be going down to the main Mount Beach and flopping it out. Getting it out. So there's a problem now that people are just walking around and everything. Right. And being exposed to.

Which I don't see a problem. No. It's a nude body. Now, that's not the problem. Okay. What's the problem? Because you're screwing your face up, Megan, because you come from a nudist family. And I've been to Europe a couple of times

and people were nude on the beach all the time. It's crazy. Grow up, hey. It's just a fanny. The less you're exposed to it, I think, the more you're like... We're so prudish here in New Zealand, aren't we? I grew up in a naked...

What do you call it? Like a nudist beach. Colony. And it's just like... You're just like, oh, yeah. Honestly, it just becomes, oh yeah. Honestly, like it just becomes like. But then behind closed doors we're a nation of complete perverts.

So I don't know why we can't, you know, like meet in the happy middle. Meet in the middle, yeah. It's weird being on the beach in Barcelona last year and you just look around

and you're like, oh, okay. It's all on. But you're like, oh, this is weird. But no one else is even blinking an eye. No one is battering an eyelid or even looking.

No one's sneakily taking a long ride until you've happily settled in and seeing a big floppy doodle is absolutely no big deal at all. And it's quite refreshing because then you see that everyone's bodies are different. Yes. They come in all different shapes and sizes. They do. And if, like me and Grace, you look long enough and hard enough, you might find someone with a smaller penis than you.

We wondered where you were going with that. We were there for a while, but I found them. It took a couple of days, but Vaughan was very happy. I was like, French, we need to go to another nudist beach on the other side of the island. There's certainly no small penises on this side, and I am on a penis hunt. So the problem is what the council and residents are describing as meerkats. Meerkats.

Meerkats. Not the meerkats that we go to at the zoo and think are really cute and have like a neat little community. Yeah. These are people who up in the sand dunes pop up like a meerkat and look down at the beach. Now, when I initially thought, I thought it's the pervies. Yeah. They're up there and they're not nude, but they're looking at the nude people.

Right. Yeah. So what it is, is people up in the dunes. Yeah. Affecting dune bird life, might I add, and the structure of dunes. Always keep off the dunes. Keep off the dunes. They pop up there and they go...

And then another meerkat might see them and be like... And then they do it in the dunes. Right, okay. So they're not perving, they're soliciting the interest of other people, sometimes off the beach, sometimes other meerkats. Some local guys are like, oh, if there's an umbrella up in the dunes,

they've got it up primarily to stop the now like three-storey houses that have been built being able to see what they're up to from a higher angle because back in the day you could go up into the dunes and it wasn't the sort of place that people frequented walking through. Right. And he said sometimes like you'll see on dusk or whatever a light bit of smoke coming out and they've got themselves

a little campfire going up in the dunes and they're getting down to business. Or they might even be at that time of night. Maybe it's a smoke signal to say you're interested. Who knew meerkats were so frisky? I know. Getting up there. Right.

Do you still have a problem? You don't have a problem with that, Megan? Well, I mean, it's not... It's... I don't know. What are you supposed to do about it?

Well, they... No, it's a victimless crime unless someone stumbles upon it. Isn't it? I don't know what they want if they want the area more frequently policed. Yeah.

So they want to get rid of the nudies. Is that right? No, well, I don't... But it sounds like it's the meerkats ruining rid of the nudies. Is that right? But it sounds like it's the meerkats ruining it for the nudies. It's the meerkats that are dragging the nudies down because the meerkattery is happening. Why don't they get Grindr? Old school.

Can you get Grindr on an old bloody tradies Nokia? I don't know. I don't know. It's probably the old mates that are up to it. Yeah, it probably is is As you say like they're young people they can use technology to avoid getting a bloody

sand drain up get a bit of sand and you crack But then you don't want to go home and then your wife's asking what grinder is on your smartphone

Oh meet at a neutral location Right Lots of lovely little bed and breakfasts in the area It's a trade app they're grinding you know like

Yeah yeah you know love them working bloody metal. So you're going to go write it down if it doesn't fit. Stop asking questions. FEM. ZM. That was not a derailed train that caught the attention of waveologists yesterday.

That's not what they're actually called. Sure, let's go with that. It was a, they've got these boys floating around in the ocean to record waves and ocean swells during storms and tidal waves and... Yeah, they use these for tsunamis and, like, after earthquakes, they watch and monitor those, don't they? Monitor a bunch of stuff.

Temperature of the ocean, everything. Currents, which way the current is going. I know that's from, like, disaster movies. Is it San Andreas or something? They measure, like, oh, my my God, the boys are like... Why did you watch that movie? Because The Rock. But if you watch every movie of The Rock,

then you'll be at the bloody cinemas every week. That guy, I don't know how... He's just had his second kid. I know. I don't know how he had time to even impregnate his wife, to be honest. He must just be running from movie to movie to movie. And if you see his exercise and diet,

like, what has he got? One of those things that Hermione had in Harry Potter where he can turn back time and reuse his day twice? It's insane. He's worth $190 million. He deserves it. He works every minute of every day. I'd like, on his IMDb,

to see how many upcoming projects he's got. Because he's barely finished promoting one movie and he's on to promoting the next one and I don't even know when he filmed

any of them. He's a very busy man. But it was in that movie Battleships that, Yes. And Rihanna's one line in that movie was,

I liked that movie, you didn't like it, did you? It was a bit huckery. But, oh no, I like the bit where the old boy's

got the old World War II battleship charged up. I don't know why that made me sentimental and a little misty-eyed. About 12 movies in production. What? The Rock.

I'll tell you, he's the busiest man in the world. And he does Ballers, the TV show as well. Which I haven't watched, but people really rated. Really said it was a great HBO show. So, anyway, this boy in the ocean, like on that Rihanna movie, and that rock movie, it's recorded the largest ever wave in the Southern Ocean that we monitor. 23.8 metres high, this wave. That's the height of a seven-storey building.

So you take the building, just this is no good for anyone apart from Megan, and that's the thing about broadcasting, is you want to make it as narrow as you possibly can. At least twice as high as the building we're in. From this floor. One, two, three. And I wouldn't jump off the top of our building. No. Because I'd hurt myself. So twice

the height of that. How Like literally in this arse of me where you see a massive boat and it has to go up and through it. That's how big it was. Oh no, it's not as tall as the Sky Tower. Oh, okay.

I mean, there are buildings in between the height of our wood building and the Sky Tower, Megan. I'm just going by like buildings I know. You go from a three-story building

to the tallest building in New Zealand. Okay, yeah, it's really tall. It'll be somewhere between that. But yeah, so a seven-story building the height of this wave.

Wow. No one was there. It didn't flip any ships or anything, but it could have, should there have been one there. Nah, that's my worst nightmare is sailing and not seeing land. Yeah. No, thanks. I don't want to be on a boat where I can't see land.

I mean, unless there's a buffet and it's a cruise ship, sure. Yes. If I can hide my panic behind a never-ending supply of food, I might be okay for a week or two. And pokey machines. Oh, yeah. Love a pokey machine. And a hydroslide.

Why do I need a pool? I'm already on the ocean. I don't care. I'm on a giant boat. Avocados are in the news as often as millennials because the two go hand in hand when it comes to a headline that people will click on to either be like, or bloody millennials.

It's because we appreciate a good fat, you know? We do. Oh, we love a good healthy fat. Huge on avocados because they taste yum as well. I nearly bought one at the supermarket. They were $4.50. Wow. And they were little, but they were tiny.

That's not bad. The reason I'm going to talk about it is that I saw one yesterday for $8. Where the hell was that? At the supermarket. An $8 avocado. And I was like, no. That's nuts. So I needed to stop at the grocery store on the way home as well.

$7.50. So not that much cheaper. We're in a shortage at the moment though, aren't we? An avocados shortage. Is it an avocados? It's not just like bad, like out of season. Also in a shortage. Right.

Because then I saw someone I know in Tauranga saying avocados there are cheap, cheaper, much cheaper. They grow a lot down there. Yeah, because they grow them there so geographically. But how much are we talking? And they said that down there cauliflower is really expensive. And I was like, you see, I'd rather have cheap avocados than cheap cauliflower. Because it's one of those things you eat begrudgingly.

Yeah. But is it worth getting someone to courier up a whole bag? Like a box? Well, then you have to pay for the courier. Like, how much cheaper is it? Well, that's where economies of scale, I guess. Oh, no. Then you're in the logistics business.

Well, no, but if we're talking $8 for an avocado, you don't need to buy a couple. True. Get a box of avocado. But then how well are they going to survive the courier? Because that's the other thing about avocados at the moment. They're either as hard as rocks or as soft as... Yeah, you just can't win, can you?

No. Producer Caitlin? I bought a $6 avocado. Because I really need... I know, and I'm not usually like... $6? I know, but I really needed it. I had this perfect meal plan and I needed the avocado.

Oh, what was it? Just like this really yum salad with salmon and cherry tomatoes and feta and stuff. And you need the avocado. Yeah, you do. But you wasted $6 on one. Wow. No, I've done some quick maths. Just wait.

No, no, no, no, no. I haven't finished. Okay. It was a rotten avocado when I opened it. Wow. No, I've done some quick maths. Just wait. No, no, no, no, no. I haven't finished. Okay. Okay. It was a rotten avocado when I opened it. It was brown inside. Well, didn't you do it again at the supermarket? Did you squeeze to?

Well, I squeezed to see because all of them were hard. Yeah, deceptive at this time of year too. Right. Yeah. They were all hard, so I chose the one that was a bit softer. But then I didn't know about the knobby thing. I didn't know the knobby trick. Apparently if you take the knob off... You take the knob off

and what's under the knob is an indicator of what you're going to find. Can you take that back? 100%. And be like, I paid $6 for this and I literally can't eat it. I ate it. You could say $33,333 more of these and I could have afforded a house deposit

in Auckland. But then how do they prove when you bought it and stuff? Well, you take the receipt in. Yeah, but they could be like... They're not going to argue with you. They don't argue. They'll give it to you, Katie. They don't care enough.

I mean, there's a lot to be said also if you're buying these sorts of fruit, veg out of season. Like it's in the middle of winter and we're... I'm not happy the tomatoes are so expensive. But what was, am I about to sound bad if I say I've come up with a midwinter avocado alternative? What? So you get some feta cheese and you put peas with it. I knew you were going to say this.

That's real good, eh? Yeah. And you, yeah, I know. I'm a little reluctant because, you know, I'm a huge fan of peas because I had to eat them every night growing up. Same. That's why I don't eat peas now. That's why I don't like peas. Ever.

Even fresh peas. Oh, I'll do fresh peas. Peas are like my favourite vegetable. So you mash up the peas. Yep. Do you put a little potato with it? You can put a little potato with it. You can put a little potato with it.

Okay. And the feta cheese and the peas give it a bit of green so you can trick yourself into thinking it's avocado. But it's not avocado. Squeeze a bit of a lemon juice in there and you've got yourself. And some coriander, but that's not for everybody. Did you know mint? Yeah, mint's really good.

And then you've got yourself an avocado alternative. Did you know that we worked with Annabelle Langbyne? I had no idea. I had no idea. God, I wish I was Annabelle Langbyne, though. Why? She's got it sorted. She's super rich.

She's got that neat place in Wanaka. I'm a big Langbein. You're a big Langer. A big fan. I'm a Lang... What do you call a Langbein fan? A Langy. A Langy?

A Fangbein. A Fangbein. I'm a huge Fangbein. Huge Fangbein. A huge Fangy. The Top Six with Vaughn Smith. Today's Top Six deals with the fact that Matt Damon was photographed. He had a selfie with a fan in Kmart in Australia.

If you were at Kmart's marketing department, you would be like, thank you. I don't know what. We don't have the exact word on what he was there for. He had a couple of stuffed toys in his arms, didn't he? Right. In the picture. But is he filming a movie in?

Yeah. Where was the Kmart? It wasn't on the Goldie. Brizzy, was it? It was New South Wales. Yeah. So he must be shooting a movie in Sydney? I don't know.

Because, yeah, Sydney does have studios. I know there's a long history of it. But I always thought the Gold Coast had those massive indoor sets where you could film Thor, etc. That was all filmed on the Gold Coast.

Yeah, sound stages. So today's top six is the top six things Matt Damon could have been purchasing at Kmart. Because Matt Damon is just like us, guys. Number six on the list of the top six Matt Damon purchases at Kmart. Copper-coloured things. Anything. Anything.

As long as it's copper-coloured. I'm talking copper wire baskets, copper flower pots, something that's half concrete, half copper. Not real copper, just copper coloured. Because I don't know, I don't think. Unless Kmart are the people stealing all the copper from,

you know, you hear about copper being stolen. Yeah. There's no way they could be providing real copper on that scale. He might have been looking for stuff for a home because there's rumours that

he could have bought a home in Australia because he's friends with Liam Hemsworth. He was spotted at the Blues Fest in Byron Bay. So he could be nesting. He could be nesting. Oh, God.

This is not the last time they will be seeing Matt Damon at Kmart. No, no. He'll probably have to start shopping online, though, because everyone will just be waiting there for him now. Yeah, pretty much. Number five on the list of the top six Matt Damon purchases at Kmart, wooden kids' toys. God, they love top six Matt Damon purchases at Kmart, wooden kids toys. God,

they love a wooden kids toy at Kmart. You go and like, there's a whole kitchen set and everything's wood. Don't get me wrong, I like it better than like plastic stuff.

Yeah. I think it's better. And when your kids finish with it, you can chuck it on the fire and get some hate off it as well. So dual usage. And it's so cheap. Yeah.

Because I got Karen a little wood toy from Kmart. It's got holes in it. Yeah, it was like two or three bucks. And you put the toys in and he has to fish them out. It's so cute. Oh, yeah. There's lots of little holes.

Oh, they're so great. Yeah. There's no advance. There's no advance in there, is it? Yeah, you put a snack in there and it takes some ages. But they've got to earn the snack. Yeah, they do. They've got to figure it out.

Bit of this. Number four on the list of the top six Matt Damon purchases that came out, some storage options. From plastic kitchen containers to under bed wire framed thingies that slide under or something that's full of crap that we probably should have just got rid of anyway. Some storage options that came out. They love storage. They love some storage. Number three on the list of top six Matt Damon purchases that came out,

pet costumes. Yes. They've got such a selection. The little shark one. God, I want a little bear shark. And they're all like a couple of dollars. It's so cheap. Yeah.

And on the tag it says made in New Zealand and apparently that's all it takes these days. Nah, they don't lie about it. No. No. They're like, there's no way this was made in New Zealand for the price we're selling it for, guys. Just dress your dog up as a slice of pizza and be happy, okay?

Number two on the list of the top six Matt Damon purchases that came out, a pastel-coloured dinner crockery set. Ooh. You know, I'm talking like a light pink. A light blue. A light blue. Yeah, yeah, like a duck egg blue. Don't you have a pastel duvet now?

Yeah, we've got a pink pastel duvet. How's that been going for you? Great, thank you. Okay. Oh, not great. Like, I don't do well with light-coloured things. Right. Stains.

Well, not, yeah. I, like, shave my head and there might be a bit of blood on my head and I might go to bed and it gets on things. That sort of stuff. On the pastel pillowcase. Yeah. You'll hear about that. I do. Yeah. I do. On the pastel pillowcase. Yeah. You'll hear about that. I do.

Yeah. I do. And the number one thing, now this is the only stuff I can guarantee Matt Damon actually purchased from Kmart. Number one in the top six Matt Damon purchases at Kmart, a bunch of shit he doesn't really need. He just got caught up in the moment.

Yeah. You get in there, I don't know what's in the air con. Is it Coke? Because you walk in, you relax, and all of a sudden you're in a frenzy. You are in there I don't know What's in the air con? Is it coke? Because you walk in You relax And all of a sudden You're in a frenzy Yeah You are in a frenzy

I don't know if I need A huge picture frame But probably And you're that rich Like you could get everything Oh he probably just Purchased them He probably owns

A Kmart franchise now Probably the cheaper way To do it That is today's top six We are searching For New Zealand's for today's top six. Fletch Vaughan and Megan's Food Fights. The Kiwi Treat Edition. We are searching for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat.

Which, what? Have we done nearly two weeks of voting? At the end of this week it'll be two weeks of voting. So we're like, you know, a week and a half.

Okay. I think. It's Thursday today, Vaughan. It's Friday tomorrow. It's nearly two weeks. Nearly two weeks of voting. That's great, actually, because I thought today was Wednesday. What a pleasant surprise.

Okay, good. What an absolute pleasant surprise. What a nice surprise for you. So we are looking for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat. You vote on our Instagram, FVMZM. It is knockout. So when a Kiwi treat loses, it is out. And there are some delicious Kiwi treats that are gone.

Gone. Let's talk about yesterday's battles first. Raro took on Shapes. This wasn't close. Shapes taking 73% of your vote, which came to 13,258 votes. Great amount of votes there and Shapes taking the majority. The next closest in yesterday's battle was Hundreds and Thousands of Biscuits versus Jelly Tip. Now, this is the tub ice cream.

Yes. The tub. This was in favour of Jelly Tip. 58% of people voted for Jelly Tip. 42% for Hundreds and Thousands of Biscuits. So, ta-ta. Damn it. It was closer than I thought it would be.

Now, these next two, super close. Super close. There were points yesterday. We were in the group chat talking about this. There were six votes in it at one point. Yeah, there was thousands of votes for each, but there were six votes between them. Well, in the peanut slab versus crunchy battle,

there was 1% in it. So 51% versus 49%. Somebody messaged in saying, you're saying there's only like, just then I said there's 1% in it. Yep. And they said, well, technically that's 2%. So I don't know how that, just then I said there's 1% in it. Yep. And they said, well, technically that's 2%. So I don't know how that stands, but I'm just taking the percent to 50.

Okay. Because if they got 1% and took it to 50, the other one would lose 1%, right? I don't know, Vaughn. I'm not good at maths. Just give us a breakdown. I'm just explaining why I'm saying 1%. Okay. 1% in it.

To look at the votes, there's just over 100 votes in it. Wow. Wow. After nearly 20,000 votes all up in this round. Crunchy going through to the next round. 51%. It's ta-ta, peanut slab. Ta-ta, peanut slab.

Oh, I'm so happy about that. This one, less than 100 votes in it. Pineapple Lumps versus Choc Bar. This was the one yesterday that had six votes in it when there was like, I think there was 8,000 votes across the two, and there were six votes between them. I think I voted Choc Bar, but do you know what? This is a round for me that I don't care if either of these are okay to go through.

I witnessed an argument amongst strangers about this one yesterday. Really? Choc Bar versus pineapple lumps. What was the general consensus amongst these strangers? No, it was split. Okay, split. Well, it was fairly well split.

51% to 49%. And less than 100 votes in it. Going through to the next round of Food Fight, the Kiwi Treats edition. What do you think, Megan? Choc bar. Pineapple lumps.

It's pineapple lumps. Oh, is it? 51%. I knew they had the Ki Megan? Choc bar. Pineapple lumps. It's pineapple lumps. Oh, is it? 51%. I knew they had the Kiwi. The choc bar. But they're that iconic Kiwi lolly, you know? If pineapple lumps goes up against crunchy in the next round, who would win in your mind?

Pineapple lumps. Yeah, probably pineapple. Oh, no, I don't know. I'd go crunchy. Personally, I'd go crunchy. But I think pineapple lumps would win. I think pineapple lumps could beat that. Okay, what if pineapple lumps win up against hot chippies? Hot chippies.

Hot chippies. I think hot chippies will be in the final. You think hot chippies have got the power to go all the way? I'm picking hot chippies in the final. Today, we've got some new rounds for you to vote on right now, FEMZM on our Instagram. We sure do. First up, pot of hot chips versus spicy tomato manchos.

Chippies versus chippies. Have you done it? So it's hot chippies versus spicy tomato manchos. I said that mancho, I love spicy tomato manchos. I've been very passionate, but I said they'll never

be there at the end. They're good, but they're not hot chips good, are they? Early voting, it's not looking good for the manchos. 88% of votes for hot chips good, are they? Early voting, it's not looking good for the Munchos.

88% of votes for hot chips. Hot chippy's too strong a contender. It's a devastating loss. It's a year. It's just romping through. So that's one you can go and vote on at our Instagram account right now, FEMZM. The next one, Lolly Cake versus Milo. Ooh!

I voted Milo. Lolly Cake. Lolly Cake. Lolly Cake. After a quick look at about 1,500 votes cast, Lolly Cake, 57%, Milo, 43%. Yes! Lolly Cake. Do you think Lolly Cake could be the silent assassin?

Why are you all doing... Lolly Cake is not as good. I'm going to make some, bring it in, you'll be like, oh yeah. No, I'll eat it all. Don't bring it in, that's no good. The nostalgia's getting as good. I'm going to make some, bring it in. You'll be like, oh, yeah. No, I'll eat it all. Don't bring it in. That's no good. The nostalgia's getting to you.

It's not as good as you remember. You think about Milo. It's not that great. Have you put it on your rice bubbles? Yeah, I had it growing up. Have you put a spoon load of it in your mouth? Have you put seven spoons in a cold cup of milk? Yeah, but I'd rather put...

Have you choked and blown Milo dust everywhere when you put a dry heaped spoon of Milo in your mouth? But I'd rather choke eating a whole log of lolly cake. Me too. Think if I was going to die on something, it'd be soft gooey lolly cake. We've just been talking about an article that I read and it sparked furious debate in studio

about tourist destinations that people rave about that you didn't like. Yeah, because people have slammed parts of New Zealand and... Auckland. Where?

Dears, bitch. Yoli, his trailer apparently reviewed Auckland as a city that bored me out of my wits. The malls were closed very early,

like 6pm, I think. Not wrong. That is annoying. But it's nice that people that work in retail get to go home. Do shifts. Like,

does someone do the... They have late night on Thursday. Oh yeah, but what if I can't go on a Thursday? Friday. Another weekend.

As a non-mall person, to me, they're open too much. I hate malls. No. You go overseas and they're open late, like till 10 o'clock. But then in some countries they're not open on Sunday or something. I hate malls. No. You go overseas and they're open late, like till 10 o'clock.

But then in some countries they're not open on Sunday or something. Well, go the other days. Oh. Okay, you can't win, can you? So she also went on to say there were no museums, which is a big load of fat BS. There's a huge one. That's a lovely museum. There's a huge one that when I'm a billionaire, I plan to buy and turn it into my Batman mansion.

Oh, it would be good. And race go-karts around the bottom level. That's what the bottom floor is going to be. She says no theatres. Okay, she's not even educated herself. I don't know if she's even trying. I don't like people that are overly negative about places, like haven't got out and explored. Yeah, yeah.

Put no effort into doing anything other than just walking and hoping to have it all fall on their lap. Yeah. But yeah, a lot of Sydney's, a lot of, sorry, a lot of cities got slammed. Sydney, the same one. Yeah. She said apart from the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, this could have been any old city. It was very unremarkable. Oh, I love Sydney.

She sounds very, is this the same person? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same person, same miserable. The writers have just gone through and found people that have written bad reviews on like TripAdvisor and sites like that. Yeah. And just kind of done a compilation. But you've traveled fairly extensively. Is there anywhere that's sort of one of those tourist spots that everybody says you've got to go and then you got there and you're like, I probably didn't need to. Not really.

Because I always manage my expectations. I don't expect much. Right. And then if I'm like nicely surprised, I'll be like, great, it's nice. But if it's dad, you're like, thoughts are... I mean, there's a lot of places you go to, like the swing in Bali.

You know, the iconic swing that everyone gets a photo. We've talked about this before and there was literally a line of people to get the photo. Right. You never see. So it looks like tranquil and like you're by yourself. But it's not. But it's not. It's just so many people. Yeah. And that's just a lot of people to get the photo. Right. You never see. So it looks like tranquil and like you're by yourself. But it's not. But it's not.

It's just so many people. Yeah. And there's a lot of places you go. There's just a lot of people. But it's still, you know, I'm just stoked that I'm there. It's like the beach beach in Thailand. Oh, yeah. That's sad.

Which can do a great photo. And now it probably would do a good photo because they've actually banned boats going in there. Yeah. Because they were just making an absolute mess. So if you could get in there, I don't know, you'd let a kayak in there. It'd probably be a going in there. Yeah. Because they were just making an absolute mess. So if you could get in there, I don't know, you'd let a kayak in there, it'd probably be a pretty good photo. Yeah.

But when we went there, I was a bit like, ugh, there's boats everywhere and people doing wheeze behind a tree over there. It's pretty grim. It's perhaps not as tranquil as I thought. But we were wondering this morning, where did you not rate? Where does, you know,

everybody recommends you have to go, but you got there and you were like, you know what? Meh. Meh. Caitlin, have you got there and you were like, you know what? Meh. Meh. Caitlin, have you got one of these? Mine's, I'm going to get told off. Mine's Bali.

I didn't, I was like, meh. Is it because of all the Australians? I don't know. I just like, I like going over places for the culture. So like when I went to Cambodia and Kenya, like that was amazing because you just like. You're immersed. Right, immersed in it.

And then in Bali, yeah, it's just all Australians. So you're like, oh, you're in Australia. Not Bali. Yeah, you're in a different part of Australia. You're just like off the coast of Australia. Which technically it is almost Australia, Bali. Yeah, it's another suburb. If population percentage was, you know, their country, Bali would be Australia as much as the Gold Coast is Kiwi.

Do you have one, Megan, a place that people rave about and you got there and you're like, eh? I don't want to say because I don't want people to be like, oh, I'm so ungrateful. But Rome, I always say it was a big leap down. Oh, yeah, you've whinged about the Colosseum before. It's right in the middle of the town and it's half falling down. I don't know if everyone knows that because I didn't. And there's like McDonald's

wrappers and everything around it. I'm like pick that up. You've got a historical building. You've just seen the Russell Crowe movie. You thought it was in one place. I didn't realise it was like half broken. Well she wanted a fully complete Coliseum and to watch someone kill another person for entertainment and then feed the Christians to the lions. But she

didn't get any of it. You're not allowed to sit on the grass. The police disappointed didn't get any of it you're some of the darlings rappers do you know all that is sit on the grass the police blow their whistle at you and tell you to move on and you said

it's dusty as well swirl dusty I was just a bit of a let down so we want to take your calls right now 0800DARLS

at M9696 you can text where did you visit and not really like yeah and you kind of hated it place

maybe a big touristy place everyone loves and you were like man I don And you kind of hated it. Place, maybe a big touristy place everyone loves and you were like, man. I don't know why people raved about it. FEM.

We're talking about what tourist hotspot you perhaps weren't that impressed with. But, but meh. Some bad reviews of some New Zealand

cities have come to light just in an article. We'll just ignore those because we know it's not true. We're a lovely country. They just sound ignorant. Like they didn't get out there and do anything. But let's in turn drag everybody else down by hearing about terrible other places that

you didn't like. Some text messages in the city of Brussels. Hated it. Main attraction was a tiny weeing statue called Menequenpies. Okay. Never go. You've been to Brussels? No. I've always heard lovely things about Brussels. Well, a lot of those

European towns, like some of the big cities, are quite nice. Yeah. But then that's just it. Someone said Las Vegas, and I kind of have to agree with them. You see Las Vegas, and it's all glitz and glamour in the movies, but then you get there, and it's... It ruins you. Yeah. Two to three days max.

Two to three days max in Vegas. Never go and book a week there. It's only 10 years since we were in Vegas, and there's a part of the back of my brain that was like, I could go back there again. And then I start thinking about it and I'm like, I don't need to. You see the real downside of humanity there.

You do. Like 7 o'clock in the morning you go down to have a chocolate fountain buffet breakfast and there's an old nan having a ciggy and a martini at a slot machine. You're like, oh, I didn't want that. Kate, whereabouts did you visit and you were a bit meh about it? Disneyland. No, Kate, no. Why?

It's the happiest place in the world. I know. I just like couldn't enjoy the magic because of all the American kids and their loud, obnoxious children. Okay, fair call. I'll give you that if there were less Americans. When it's real packed, it's a bit of a punish. I'll agree. Yeah. Did you eat the

food and go on all the rides? Nah, I just like had a real sulky time here. Like one kid even ruined a whole ride for me by like telling me where all the cool bits were coming up and stuff. Oh, God. I know. Did you see Goofy or Donald or anybody? No, just

had a huge, salty time. What about the teacups? Did you go in the teacups? Yeah, I did. That was probably one of the only ones I had fun on because there was a city next to me. They made me feel like I want to do vommies. I think you need to get back there and maybe go on a quieter time.

Yeah, non-store holidays. Just give it one more shot. Give it another go. It's a great place. Thanks, Kate. Jess, where did you travel to? And you're a bit meh about it. Paris. We got a train into the train station and we witnessed this mum

holding her toddler above the ground as she peed in like the waiting area. Oh, okay. Just onto the lino. And then five minutes later, this little old lady was walking past and she slipped in it and fell flat on her back in this puddle. Of wee.

Yeah. And that ruined the whole city for you? Yeah, we'd only been in Paris for like 10 minutes, and that was the first thing we saw, and I was like... A few other people have messaged in about Paris. Somebody said I was in Paris. There was dog poo everywhere. Yeah.

Any place that wasn't the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe I would describe as bland. What? Not in Paris. It's a beautiful city, though. Armed police with fully automatic weapons. Oh, yeah, that's a bit scary. Everywhere, which you don't see anywhere on postcards or anything.

And, I mean, technically you can go anywhere in the world. You could see someone peeing on the street in New Zealand if you looked at the right time. Yes, true. Thank you, Jess. Troy, where did you go and you thought it was a bit overrated, a bit meh? San Francisco. Oh, okay. My parents didn't like San Fran either, and I thought it might have just been because it was a big city and it freaked them

out, but then they went to New York and loved it. Exactly that. I went to New York and absolutely loved it. I actually went to New York first, so I think I might have killed it that way. I might have spoiled it for you. But San Fran suffers a bit like Wellington. Like, if you don't get it on a good, perfect day, it can be a bit miserable. The weather. Yeah, and like three days wait to get a costume blim in Alcatraz. Yeah. Oh, right. Yeah, but that's

beginning. You've got to book ahead. The Alcatraz sells out. I can't believe she said Rome was bad. Oh, see, yeah. Rome was beautiful. I couldn't even get a decent pizza. Oh, come, yeah. Rome was beautiful. I couldn't even get a decent pizza. Oh, come on. Don't go there. Come on.

The way you're looking, I've got a pizza. But Megan was in Italy going to Domino's, so I don't know if that was her problem. Thanks, Troy. Some other messages in. Somebody said, I thought the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Oh no, that's incredible. Looked like a bloody drippy mudhuck.

It does but it's so incredible. Somebody else saying Disneyland. They'd waited for it for so long. But maybe they hadn't managed their expectations and maybe that's the secret. It's the key to travelling anywhere. Don't expect anything great and then be surprised.

You need to prep yourself. You need to get those fast passes so you're not waiting three hours in the line. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody else said Paris was disappointing. A lot of Paris hate. Someone said went to the Louvre

and had to get shuffled past the Mona Lisa, which was much smaller in real life. That's what everybody says. Everybody says that. Everybody says that. Oh, it's very tiny. Everybody says that, eh? Everybody says that. Oh, it's very tiny. Everybody says that. It's like A4.

Somebody said wasn't a huge fan of Phuket and Thailand. I agree with that. See, you land at the Phuket airport, get out to an island. Yeah, Pepe Island.

Don't say, Petong Beach was lovely, but it's just British and grim now. European tourists. You just want to go for a nice walk

and some guy's like, you want to see a menu of horrific things you can watch one human do to another? You're like, no. Not really, no. Not really. All right, Spice. So I went to the doctors yesterday with Indy,

took Indy to the doctor. And while I was there, I asked the doctor a couple of questions, just general sort of questions. Got to chatting. Yeah. Like my doctor. We have a good chat. And I told him he didn't know, but

my family's got a history of bowel cancer. And I'm getting to the age now where we talked about it. My grandad had quite bad bowel cancer in his 50s. So he could have developed the really early stages of it in his 30s. And it's the sort of thing, the earlier you catch it, the better. So I'm like, well, I want to be around to ball like a madman when my daughters get married so get the stuff looked after

get yourself tested and like that's totally what I think everybody should do precautions the best so I got talking to him and he's like well there's these couple of tests and you're very young

and everything so we can get it and when he said I was very young I was like thank you do you want some see my ID? Are we flirting?

Indy, go and wait in the waiting room. Flirting with a doctor. And I got talking. He's like, there's these tests you can do. Here's the paperwork. Go to Med Lab. They'll take some bloods and stool sample and stuff. And I was like, I haven't done a stool sample. You remember my stool sample.

I know you. Your stories of stool sample. Oh God, it was an embarrassing situation. Because the only time I've done them is when you're, like, got food poisoning or something, and it's not. I've done one when I was a kid, and I think I was in the hospital when we did it. Because I had to take mine out in the waiting room and write my name on it because I hadn't written my name on it.

And they weren't going to write my name on my poo sample. I wrote my name on the thing as soon as I got it. Very hard to write on a round container when there's poo in it. Do it before there's poo in it. So I go to the med lab next door and I get bloods taken and then she's like, I'll

be back in one minute. She walks back in with what I assumed was everything I would need for the stool sample because it said on the side of the bag biohazard. And I was like, that's rude. But she said, okay, have you done one of these before? I was like, no, I haven't. And she's like, okay, so what you do is,

and she went really like detailed, this is the receptacle. And it looked like a strawberry punnet. So that's kind of put me off strawberries. You put the stool in there, straight from the bottom. Like you kind of hover over the toilet. Yeah, and then you hang it underneath. I haven't done it yet,

but I'm really looking forward to, like, lining up the drop, because I don't want any in my hand. So, and then she's like, and then this, and she had a sample one, she's like, you push it to the side, you pull this out,

you put this into the sample, and then very carefully put it back in, click it, put this in. And I was like, oh, okay. You've gone very detailed. Yeah. And she's like, well, there's been a couple of incidences lately. What does that mean?

Where I haven't fully explained how to work this and the consequences have been dire. Right. So then there's this amount of silence. I'm going to need to know what happened. That's why I was like, do I ask? Yeah. Can she tell?

I was like, yeah, no, I'm going to need to know what happened. Okay. So she tells me that earlier this week a guy came in and they said, he was getting a holotest done. We need to still sample of you. Yeah. He took it home in the strawberry container receptacle, pooped in there.

Yeah. Then put that in the plastic bag that said biohazard on the side. Yeah. Sealed the top, zip slide seal. Yeah. Sealed and then walked back into Med Lab with a bag full of shit, which, by the way, in the car journey, it sloshed all around. It was no longer isolated to the strawberry container.

And it was like, here you go. And they were like, no, no, no, no thanks. We can't take that. Right. There's, what you need to do is, the thing that we gave you, where's that? He's like, it's in the bag too. They're like, okay, we'll get you a new one, but you need to take that home and take a sample from it. And he's like, I'm not going to be able to poo again today.

And they're like, oh, okay. People are eating breakfast. This is in the waiting room. There's people waiting for like blood tests and stuff. And this guy's effectively taking a shit in a bag. And they're showing them, see through a plastic bag and they're like, ah, he in the middle of the waiting room got another

one and dipped it into the plastic bag took a sample and was like, there you go and then said to them, here, can you get rid of this? To the bag full of crap. So this is why I'm trying to explain to you the details and this is why I want everybody to appreciate the beautiful people

at any lab facilities that have to deal with blood, wee, poo, anything that would make you giggle as a child because they deal with it on the daily. On the daily. And people who have no idea how to handle it. ZDM, Sledge, Vaughn and Megan. 10 to 8 Deadpool 2 is out on Wednesday. I ain't letting Cable kill this kid.

But I can't do this alone. We're going to form a super duper group. We need them tough, morally flexible and young enough to carry their own franchise for 10 to 12 years. We'll be known as X-Force. Isn't that a little derivative? You're absolutely right.

Tell me they got that in slow motion. And our New Zealand connection to the film is in studio, Julian Dennison. Hello, hello. Good morning. It's nice to be here. We got to see the film on Sunday, and you're in this film a lot. Yeah, I am. Luckily. It's not good of you to film a whole film and and you're in this film a lot. Yeah, I am. Luckily.

It's not good of you to film the whole film and then they cut you out of the final. Because I was like, I wonder how big a part you'll have. But you're like one of the main stars. I was so proud. Me too, yeah. Yeah, I got to keep my accent in the film. So that was pretty cool. Can you do other accents?

No. I was wondering if it was out of necessity that you got to keep the Kiwi accent. Yeah, no, it was a really quick conversation. I was like, do I have to do an American accent? I'm better than like, are you bad at it? No, you can just keep your accent. We'll just reference that at some stage in the film. No, it was actually dubbed.

The whole thing was dubbed. You know in those old Asian movies when they used to dub it? Yeah. Mouth moving. Hello. And then their mouth would move and then yeah they were these kung fu yeah

drawing from the history box how much time was there between Hunt for the Wilderpeople when that finished to Deadpool because Deadpool crazy long

I think it was like we shot like Hunt for the Wilderpeople like three years ago right and we only shot this last year so there was like a solid like year and a half

because we shot for like four months in Vancouver. Beautiful place. It's Canada, you know. Yep. It's like a lesser version of New Zealand if you think about it. Right, yeah. But like still good.

Still good. Like anywhere, like if I could move anywhere besides from New Zealand, it would actually maybe like Fiji and then Canada. You know, Canada's on the list. Yeah. When you went from say Hunt for the Wilder People, maybe like Fiji and then Canada. You know, Canada's on the list. Yeah. When you went from, say, Hunt for the Wilder people,

how many people would have been on set at any one time? Like 100, 130 at the max. And what about Deadpool? Like 400. He's like, whoa. Like that whole fight scene on the truck. That's not a spoiler. People saw it in the trailer. I can say what I want anyway.

But, yeah, so it was like 400 people, truck. That's not a spoiler. People saw it in the trailer. I can say what I want anyway. Yeah, so it was like 400 people, like plus extras and stuff. Wow. Did you get one of those big chairs with your name on the back of it? Yeah, I got to keep the back of the chair. They sent it to all the cast after we wrapped filming and then there's like a prototype of my final costume that I was able to take home.

But I don't know why they gave it to me because they had to like import the fabric from Italy and then they had to dye it. So I'm like, mate, I'm just a Kiwi boy. Making my way up. But you've got a custom made superhero costume now. Yeah, it was like a, it wasn't really a superhero costume,

but I didn't really want to be in a superhero costume because all of the cast, like Zazie Beetz, who plays Domino and then Cable, they all had these like super tight suits. Yeah.

And I was like, actually, no. I actually won't. Because I got really sweaty. You'd like shake their hand or something or like, and they'd, oh. Yeah.

Well, how sweaty does Ryan Reynolds get in a full body suit? He's cool. Oh, the makeup was disgusting. Yeah. It was, oh.

He looks like an avocado like like, turned inside out. He does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, we want to come back, because I know Megan has a lot of questions. So many questions. A lot of questions. Might be Ryan Reynolds-based.

Mainly about Blake, eh? Yeah, and Blake. Celebrating the release of Deadpool 2, we have special guests in studio, Julian Dennison. Hello. Morena. You're about to take off to New York to the world premiere. No, no, the world premiere No no The world premiere

Was in Seoul I think Seoul Korea But this is like a US This is Yeah like a US opening I guess Where all the cast

Will be there You know me and my Like celebrity friends With all our money Yeah And stuff Yeah You're like guys

Oh my god It's so good to be back Amongst the A-list I've been dealing With poor people Because the other guys Have been doing like European promo tour. Yeah, I know. I just got Sydney and Auckland.

Well, you've got to go to school. Yeah, I've got to go to school actually. They'll interview me there. Yeah, I've got to go to school. Well, I don't want to be stupid when I grow up. That's what my mum says. Nobody likes a stupid anything. No one likes a stupid anything.

That's good advice. Solid mum advice. So anything No one likes a stupid anything Solid mum advice Yeah So how does it work When you're doing films and stuff? So I do online schooling Because as I said In the earlier interview There were so many interviews

On this show Yeah But basically I like So we shot in Vancouver For like four months I had to do the New Zealand curriculum Because I'd come home

And be like a Canadian Yeah So I'd do it all online And then I'd come home and be like a Canadian. So I'd do it all online and then I'd have the tutor just watching over my shoulder to make sure I was doing it. Right. So you'd be shooting with like Ryan Reynolds, leave the set and do like algebra. Yeah.

Hate it. Keep to yourself. The alphabet and numbers. Stay in your own fields. It's a relationship that can never be a thing. That's when I left maths. Yeah, yeah. When numbers and letters came into it.

Confusing. So when you're back in New Zealand, do you go to a school? Yeah, yeah. I go to Hibbs down in, it's like a half private, half, it's a nice school. I really like it there.

I have friends there who really support me and I can trust when I say stuff to them that they won't like, blame me. Yeah. You don't want to be on TMZ. But I to them that they won't like blame me. Yeah. You don't want to be on TMZ. But I couldn't. They told heaps of people.

So yeah. So you've got to be careful now. Lucky the word didn't go out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. New Zealand's like pretty small. Isolated, yeah. Everybody in New Zealand knew but we all kept our mouths shut.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't tell anybody else. So hit me with Ryan Reynolds' details. Is he cool? Oh yeah, he's really cool. He's really done it. he's like really tall as well yes, he's really tall, I remember the first time meeting him, he like came out in like a

green Christmas sweater it was like subtle though, it only had like a few Christmas trees on it, it wasn't like your classic, and was it Christmas? no, that's like the only time people actually wear Christmas sweaters when it's not Christmas but no it was really cool meeting him and his wife

Blake as well. And then like Josh Brolin, he's really intimidating. He looks like he'd be grumpy. Like Brad from the Goonies. Yeah, I know. Because he looks like he'd be quite grumpy. Oh yeah, no, but he's super nice and he's super funny as well. So did Blake Lively come on set? Yeah, she came

on set with her children, which were really cool. You know, like the Hollywood children. Yeah. But, um, no, she gave me, they gave me a gift, I think after the first week we were filming. Like, you know, welcome to the family. But it was a scented candle. What flavour?

It was like, it was like made for me. So it was like, it was like a like a rocky sort of flavour, like fire, like ash, like I was like confused with all this flavour, like fire, like ash. I was confused with all this and I'm like, I'll have a bubble bath. 14-year-old boys, well done for their love of Santa Candles. Sipping on my cranberry juice or something, like in a wine glass.

Do you have Ryan's number in your phone? No. He'll just be like, won't read my text and he'll have like 13 messages or something just unread. 13, what a specific number. You know exactly

how many you've sent. Yeah. They remain entirely unanswered. Yeah, it'll just be like, hey, I'm still here.

I'll see you at the premiere. Yeah. Can't wait and then we'll just read that. Sorry, I couldn't talk at the moment. I was busy. Yeah.

You probably tried to call while I was in another interview the moment. I was busy. You probably tried to call us in another interview. Have you, this might be letting the cat out of the bag a little bit, but have

you, are you in any more? Yeah, we've got some films coming. I'm not allowed to say because there's probably

someone like watching me with like a gun or like Fox producers or something ready to press a button or

something. There's a possible future for you in that universe. Oh yeah, of course. Oh, well I hope so. Yeah. I hope they don't kill me off

on like the next film. Yeah, that is... Yeah. Be like, oh, between that last film and this film, he's disappeared. Oh, I'm not saying

that I live in this film, but I'm also not saying that I don't live in this film. Yeah. So it's all a puzzle. It's all connecting. Yeah. You know,

it's a bit of this and a bit of that. Yeah. I mean, if we want to find out anything, we'll just ask you skill mates. It's all connecting. Yeah. You know, it's a bit of this and a bit of that. Yeah. I mean, if we want to find out anything, we'll just ask your schoolmates. Yeah, yeah, of course. You'll probably just find them and tie them to a chair. Yeah, yeah, they'll blow them out.

You wouldn't even need to tie them to a chair. Just stand over them. Give them some intimidation. Well, the movie comes out in New Zealand next Wednesday. It's so good, too. It's so good. So good. That's the thing.

The first one was like, apart from Passion of the Christ, the highest moneymaker for a restricted film, right? Yeah. And so there was a lot of pressure in the sequel. Oh yeah, there was way more pressure.

But it's good. It lives up. It does its job. It does. So good. And well done on your part, man. Please go watch it, honestly. We need the money.

Are you getting a cut for some of the sales? No, not at all. They're just making me say that. Oh, okay. It was part of his contract. Yeah, okay. I'll live. Before you leave, we want to do one thing. Do I spin it? When do I spin it?

You can spin it. You can spin the wheel. I really want to spin the wheel. When do I spin it? Spin it really hard. Oh, wait, that wasn't much. Wait, it is... April. April. Can we make it October?

No. April, the month of bunnies, chocolate, and when JC doubled his chances of winning ZM's double date. Call now, big guy, and anyone else born in April. 0800 DIAL ZM. Good show. All right, April babies, give us a call. 0800 DIAL ZM.

Gillian Denison, thank you so much. Thank you. But if it was October the 26th, I've could have won $100,000 because I'm here. Just take one of the 26. Yeah, sorry, mate. Well, two people were born on April the 23rd ring because then I just set up something.

We're on the hunt for New Zealand's favourite Kiwi treat. And it's a knockout competition. So when a food loses, it is gone. We said goodbye to hundreds and thousands biscuits. I know that was particularly upsetting for you. But the rest of us have moved on. That's life, isn't it? The majority.

This is a democracy. A functioning democracy. Majority wins. No Winston Peters is allowed. We're getting so many votes. People are so passionate. You witnessed an argument yesterday, Megan. Yeah, it was about the chocolate bar and the pineapple lumps.

Up against each other. That was one of the tightest races we've had. Oh, hugely tight race. Results from yesterday, that one you specifically speak of, pineapple lumps versus chocolate bar. Pineapple lumps taking it out by under 100 votes. Hundreds and thousands of biscuits lost yesterday to jelly tip ice cream. Shapes destroying Raro.

So Raro, see you later. And Crunchy just nudging out the peanut slab in the Battle of the Bars. I'm happy about that. Yeah, me too. We've got some ones

you can go and vote on now at our FMZM Instagram. Hot chips destroying munchos. One would even say a vote for munchos at this stage would be a mercy vote. There's been

6,500 votes cast and there has been 5,700 for Hot Chips. It's a decimation. To put it in a percentage it's 88% to 12. I'm still standing by the fact I think Hot Chips will be in the final.

I don't know what it'll be up against. Well, it might be up against Lollicake because at the moment in the Lollicake the Milo round, Lollicake 58% of the votes, Milo 42. Quite close. Love it.

Quite close. I might have to make some Lollicake just to celebrate. Have you bought anything that we've been talking about? Because I've got a hankering for munchos. We should be on the cut for all these companies. We should be.

I've had many photos sent in. And people eating their favourites when their favourites have been eliminated. Not the box of favourites, just their favourite food that was eliminated from the competition. They've eaten them sort of as a commiseration meal. So a couple of new rounds that you can vote on. Yes. Currently, you can just go and vote on the chip and dip versus fruit bursts.

This is the hot puddle of chips versus fruit bursts. Chip and dip. Chip and dip. No, sorry. Chip and dip. Hot chips are already involved. They're taking on manchos at the moment. Chip and dip versus fruit bursts.

So take your chip. You take your chip. You dip it in mantras at the moment. Chip and dip versus fruit bursts. How's that tracking? You take your chip. You dip it in the dip. You eat the chip and dip. Or you could just unwrap a fruit burst and pop that in your gob. So you can go and vote on that now at our FEMZM Instagram page. I think I'm going to have to go chippies and dip for that one. Go chippies and dip over fruit burst?

Yeah. It's more what? More versatile? Just savoury over sweet. Savoury over sweet. You can't beat the Kiwi Dip. While the voting is open, you can go and vote on it now. Shh.

This can't leave the room. Okay, this is just between us. Just between friends. In this room, the room's over New Zealand and the podcast listeners all over the world. It's sort of a metaphorical room. It's a cone of silence, but it's like a really big cone. It's like the Eiffel Tower with an ice cream cone over the top.

And we're all inside. It can't leave this area. And you look one way, and then you look the other, and then you tell us. We ask a question. This can't leave the room. Give you look one way and then you look the other and then you tell us. We ask a question. This can't leave the room. Give you a scenario. Yep. This can't leave the room, but I really should go to the doctor because dot dot dot. This can't leave the room, but I should probably

go to the doctor because I have a lump the size of a large grape on my neck. Dude. ASAP Rocky. That doctor. I wouldn't say I'm a hypochondriac, but if I had a lump the size of a grape on my neck, I would have been in at the doctor ASAP. I would have been in at the doctor when it was a pea-sized lump,

most probably. Because you get quite scared, but it could just be like a little cyst-y thing. Yeah. Now lance that, and then it'll look really neat, and then if you get them to video it and you put it online, lots of people will watch it because they're into watching pus be squeezed out of the bod.

Okay. This can't leave the room, but pus be squeezed out of the bod. Okay. This can't leave the room, but I should probably go to the doctor. My little small toe is going a bit grey-yellowish. Is that weird? Yes. Grey-yellowish? Yeah, dog. My general rule in life is if one of my phalanges is going a different colour,

my hand or phalanges, I'll be straight off to see a qualified medical professional. my phalanges is going a different colour. My hand or phalanges. Yeah, I'll be straight off to see a qualified medical professional. Any phalange. Any phalange. Do not wait. Any extremity. But New Zealanders, especially New Zealand men, are terrible for this.

They are. At putting things off. And they won't go to the doctor until it's literally pussy and falling off. But yeah, at what point? Like, that's grey and yellow. Has he still got feeling in it? Follow-up questions.

Follow-up questions. Yeah, we don't... Do those. Don't do those, no. This can't leave the room, but almost every time I eat, I have explosive pills. I see why there's a voice disguising. That just sounds like a very fibrous diet.

Explosives? It might be. But irritable bowel also, it's not just explosive poo, isn't it? Also crippling pain. Sore tongue. Could be giardia. I've had giardia. You remember when I got giardia?

That was explosive, wasn't it? That was, you're not fun. And how quick, the food goes through you pretty quick when you've got giardia, right? Yeah. Like sort of 20, 30 minutes. I mean, it's great weight loss, but it's horrible. It's not pleasant. I mean, it's not a long-term sort of weight loss situation, though.

Maybe just short, like a weekend. Sure. You should go to the doctor also. This can't wait to run, but I should go to the doctor because my belly button smells really bad. Like it smells like my bum, but really, really bad. Okay. Okay. smells like my bum, but really, really bad. Okay. But have you put your finger in your belly button?

Because I used to always do this. It does smell bad. I don't like my belly button being touched, ever. But is it like, because you know how like if you take your ear... She said like her bum. No, but if you take your ear piercings out and you smell... Can you stop fingering your belly button like that? Are you getting aroused? Are you finding it hard to work with me while I'm fingering my belly button?

No, this is creepy. How long do I finger it before I smell it? You've got to get it right on in there. Now. Clean. It doesn't smell like anything. It smells like my body wash. It smells like the body wash.

It's like when you smell piercings. Like if you take your earrings out and you rub it together and you smell it. Maybe you should just stop being a grim bitch. No, honestly. Wash yourself. No, you're not fingering it. You've got to... Come on, mate.

Finger it like you mean it. Deep down in there is like a tiny little scab because it's like... What? No, there should not be a scab in one's belly button. You shouldn't have scabs in your belly button. Like when you're in newborn. No, because you get it right on in there and it feels like you're touching your tummy. No, I can't push it in too far.

It feels like I'm literally touching my spinal cord. No, you need to push it in. No, I'm the same. It's like a reset button on the router. So why would you press that? It'll go back to zero. Okay, well, if you push it in far enough, it smells weird. Bling, bling, bling, bling.

That's the noise I make after my belly button's been pushed too hard. I don't think your belly button should smell like your bum. She said it smelled like her bum. No, it doesn't smell like your bum. It smells weird, though. Have a shower. Can someone please do that and text in? Nah, because I swear I'm not alone.

You might have something going on. You don't have piercing, so you don't even understand. Do you have a pierced belly button? Yeah. Do you still have a pierced belly button? Well, it hasn't closed over. Aren't you a bit old for that? No, I haven't got anything in it.

There's nothing in there, but it's... But in your ears as well. Smells. Do you want me to show you? No. Do you want have a PS Valley button? Well, it hasn't closed over. Aren't you a bit old for that? No, I haven't got anything in it. Oh, you mean there's nothing in there, but it's... But in your ears as well. Smells. Ooh. Do you want me to show you? No. Do you smell? No, I don't.

Kind of. Yes, but not right now. Later. Okay, next one. This can't leave the room, but I should probably go to the doctor because my ex-boyfriend was cheating on me with my best friend who was having unprotected sex with most of Hamilton. Oh. I mean, you've said the H word unprotected sex with most of Hamilton. Oh. I mean, you've said the H word there.

No doctor wants to hear that. Oh, yeah. Hamilton. Yeah, you probably should, actually, to be honest. You should have already. Probably not a bad one. Should we do one more? One more, one more, one more.

Just can't leave the room, but I should probably go to the doctor because I haven't had my period in three months, so... You're pregnant. Yeah, you need to get some antenatal vitamins and some good medical advice on a healthy pregnancy. Does that always mean that though, Megan? No, sometimes it can be stress, right?

And like if your diet's not very good. I've heard that. Lots of people, yeah. If you're like maybe. But probably something worth checking with the GP. Totally. Imagine. A medical professional opinion on a MIA period.

It's pretty... You'd want to get on There's definitely something happening there. Yeah. Want to know when it's good to stop drinking RTDs if that's the case

if you are pregnant. Oh yeah, you want to know. Fact of the day, day one of my top five animals at Auckland Zoo. It's so much one of my favourites, it's on my zoo pass. Otter. Close. He's in the top five, but it's not otter. All of my animals are all cheeky mammals.

Cheeky mammals. Monkey. Cheeky mammals. Not top five. What's close to an otter? Tasmanian devil's in the top five, but this isn't about the Tasmanian devil. I don't know what a mammal, what constitutes a mammal really. Oh, fuck.

Giraffe? Yes, that's a mammal. Definitely a tarantula. What are those called? Tralantula. No, no, arachnid. Flamingo. That's my favourite.

That's not a mammal. That's a bird. Rhino. That is a mammal, yes, but not one of my favourites. Cheetah. I love those. They're great. Elephant.

No, maybe we could just get out the Zoom app and point it everywhere. I'll just tell you. It's about the red panda. Oh, okay. Do you like the red panda? I do like the do like the red panda i've got a little photo the little eyes and they've got the cute as all hell well did you know this is today's fact of the day i told this at the dinner table last night right how'd it go down generally across the board mind-blowing okay kids were just like you're kidding and shadow's like I don't believe you.

Fake news. She trumped me. I proved her wrong, which is also part of being trumped. The Red Panda was the original panda. Huh. The Red Panda was the original OG panda. When they first had Red Pandas, they were just called pandas.

Up until like the mid-1800s, the Western world thought the giant panda, or as we know, just the panda, was like semi-mythological. They thought it was a crypto, like the Loch Ness or the Sasquatch, until they

started seeing them more and people started going into the back blocks of China a little bit more. So when they found the red panda, it was called just panda. Yep. Straight panda. Then when the other panda was discovered, they're like, well, it looks a bit like the panda.

Let's call it the giant panda because it's way bigger. Yep. And they're like, okay, that works. But then the giant panda became the more popular panda. So they're like, let's just call it the panda. Someone's like, we've already got a panda. They're like, okay, that works. But then the giant panda became the more popular panda. So they're like, let's just call it the panda. Someone's like, we've already got a panda. They're like, what colour is it? It's red.

Call it the red panda. This guy's the main dog. He's the panda now. Yep. So the red panda was panda. Right. And now I've said it so many times, it's a weird word to hear. And then did they go to North America and Canada?

And they were like, oh my God, look at these ones. They're little. Well, it turns out they're not even like at any way related to the giant panda. Right.

The red panda or the original. Now when I see them on my zoo pass, I'm like, this dude's OG panda. I don't call him the red panda anymore.

I call him OG panda. They're like carrots. As in the purple carrots, the original. Yeah, not the orange orange And then we got orange And now it's like Everyone's all about The orange carrot

Forget the purple It's the OG carrot Yeah Yeah What about those white carrots Oh those are turnips Those are parsnips Parsnips

Turnips are round They're more of a bulbous Oh yes Like a swede Yeah right We don't have a lot of those At my supermarket Parsnips

Like a big white carrot. So yeah, the red panda was the original. You guys aren't quite as stoked as I thought you'd be about this. No, it's good. It's a six out of ten one today. Okay, I've got, I can add a bit more to it. No, it's fine. Technically good.

The sound they make is called tweeting. Oh, okay. They were ahead of their time. Yeah, they were ahead of their time when they communicated via tweets. So it was like, beep, beep, Oh, okay. They were ahead of their time. Yeah, they were ahead of their time when they communicated via tweets. So it was all like... Yeah, like a higher pitch, sort of a squirt situation.

But they were the original panda. So today's fact of the day is the red panda was the panda before the giant panda became panda. Fact of the day, day, day, day, day. Coronation Street is... I would say moving Coronation Street or doing anything to Coronation Street

would be TVNZ's biggest drawer of complaints. Oh, without a doubt. Because old people love a bit of Coro. They love a little bit of Coro. So apparently, we're 18 months behind Coronation Street. Right. And as the Coro audience becomes slightly more tech savvy, they're having Coronation Street spoiled for them

by online news and spoilers and such. Right. So, I mean, the good thing is if it was spoiled straight after it happened

in the UK, chances are they will have forgotten what's happened 18 months later. But TVNZ have said we're going to take care of this. We're going to be catching up

to the UK for the first time ever. I would imagine. Yeah. Ever. We're going to be showing Coronation Street episodes a week after they happen in the UK. Now, I would imagine, ever, we're going to be showing Coronation Street's episodes a week after they happen in the UK.

Now, I don't know why they need a week when they can fast-track every other show from the States and literally have it like four hours after we have it. They could be showing it like the next night. Or even the next day because they're 12 hours behind. So if it shows at 7.30 at night or whenever it shows there, that's 7.30 in the morning. That's lots of time to get it on before 7

o'clock here. I mean, let's just take this because at least it's a week, not 18 months. This is just because mum and dad have learnt how to use the internet now, eh? Yeah, pretty much. Finally. Although they're doing this mass,

like this is compressing of Koro and they're basically like, oh, well, if you want to see what happens, we're just going to chuck this little thing on and it'll explain this huge gap. So you're just going to miss everything that happened in between. Effectively. That's what they've said. And they're going to make this little highlights package, you know, at the start

of a new season of a show and it's like, last season. What you missed. And it's going to be like, here's what you've missed in the last 18 months because we've caught up. Wow. Who are going down Rufus? That's all you've missed. They're at the pub. On Coro. I remember growing up, my mum would always watch Coronation Street.

Oh, my mum, no, my mum didn't. My grandparents, my mum's parents loved Coronation Street. And I was always like, why don't you like it? She's like, oh, it's an old person's show. And even now she's saying it's an old person's show. But we've got a friend, Rachel, who religiously would watch Coro. Even when, and we're from her 20s. Yeah, mid-20s. All about it.

Loves it. And even to this day, loves it. Won't miss an episode. That's weird. It is weird. Have you just got caught up in it? Yeah, I think you just get addicted, don't you? You didn't catch the fever for Koro?

No, I don't know. No, you've never caught it? Not at all. Not at all. Because I think that explains a lot of it. If they watch it with someone, like their parents or their grandparents, they might get involved. I watched a couple of episodes with my parents,

and I was like, this is rubbish. You didn't catch it. Are your parents Koro fans? I wonder if they, I don't actually know if they still watch it. Yeah. I think so. It was one of the only three shows that were on when they were growing up, so they probably all watched it.

Yeah. And you see every now and then you see young people who really love old people shows. Like what? Emmerdale. Yep. Because it was Emmerdale Farm, but then they're like, too much is happening on the farm.

Not enough is happening on the farm. We need to branch out and become like a little village. Was The Clouds Daughters an old people show? No. Not really. It was a females across the board show. Yeah. Right, okay.

Just young female women who were powerful. Any of you, any of the producers, do you like old people's TV shows? Any old people's TV shows you like? Sign me up for some Pack to the Rafters. Oh, my God. I think that's my mum's favourite show. Me and Christine would have so much to talk about. We'd have a great chat about that family.

You are such a 21-year-old mum. It's hilarious. You're such a mum. Like, no wonder you get confused for a mum at the pharmacy with your boyfriend. You watch Packed to the Rafters. You were probably talking to the old lady there getting her heart medication about what happened on Packed to the Rafters. Well, it would have been a great discussion.

There was, like, a great era there of like TV one specials and there was also like nothing trivial, winners and losers. Oh my goodness me. Wait a minute. 800 words? Oh girl. I don't even know what you're talking about.

Who are you? Neither do I. Who are you? You're such a nana. It's unbelievable. Can we take some calls now? Are you into an old... I go old person's show in quotation marks.

Like a show that's probably... Targeted at old. Targeted for mums and dads. For mums mostly. But are you into one of those shows as a young person? Maybe you are addicted to Corrie. You're going to be upset that they're skipping 18 months. Somebody is.

Already a text in. Yeah, they watched it when they were younger with their mum, despised it, but now it's got to be my favourite, absolutely devastated at this squishing of a timeline. Because apparently, I was reading the story, apparently they're going to squish a timeline and be transported to a serial killer stalking the streets of Coronation Street.

I've seen articles about this in the UK. It's quite the storyline. So give us a call. 0800 dial ZM text in 9696. Are you addicted to an old person TV show? Somebody just messaged in saying, Anya, they would love for you to come around for a cup of tea and have a debrief about the latest season of Packed to the Rafters

with them and their boyfriend both 21 years old. I've found my people. Talking about those old people TV shows you're addicted to, old people, like, they're targeted for mum and dads. But you're in. You're in. You love it. You love them.

You're not afraid to admit it either. No. As many Coro fans are coming out of the woodwork of the fact that Coro's about to be time-mashed and catch up to the UK, but, you know, it costs us 18 months of primetime Coro. Rhi, you're 27. What old people TV shows are you addicted to?

I used to be into Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives. Oh, yeah, okay. Those are on during the day, though, aren't they? And you can really suck the time out of your day. Yeah, but I was about, like, 15, 16 and went to bed last week. Wow.

I've never known of, like, a 15, 16-year-old to be into, like, the Young and the to bed last week. Wow. Wow. I've never known of like a 15, 16 year old to be into like The Young and the Restless. They're so slow. Like the pacing of those shows are so slow.

But I'd watch it with my grandparents so it was kind of like bonding as well. Oh, that's the thing. That's the thing. Many people are messaging in saying

country calendar. They can't miss a country calendar and I think maybe I love my country calendar because I grew up rural and I still love the rural life. Yeah. But I always watched it with my granddad. Always.

We always watched Country Calendar. And you're 26. What do you watch religiously? Coronation Street. Oh. For 16 years. So you said it when you were 10. Yeah.

Yeah. My mum was watching it and I've just yeah. Right. And what do you think about this 18 month squishing of the timeline? Yeah, it's tragic. I'm actually about to go away for at least nine months and so when I get back

I'm going to be like ages behind. It's terrible. I just don't think your mice guy's got enough space. Probably not. Anne, thanks for your call. Tegan, what old person show do you watch? ages behind it's terrible I just don't think your mice guy's got enough space probably not and thanks for your call Tegan what old person show do you watch? Antiques Roadshow

there is something good about Antiques Roadshow yeah you like this one for me I think it's seeing old people either be like jubilated at the fact that

some cruddy thing they've had in their attic for 50 years is worth 800,000 pounds or the complete opposite when it's heartbreak. Yeah. Well, I find it quite beneficial.

Me and my partner like to go op shopping, and she's always looking at clothes in there, and I find it's worth looking at the shelves and seeing what, you know, old vases or old looking things that people my age wouldn't bother even looking at twice. Could end up turning into a $3 purchase, turning into a $20,000 woman reward.

Have you had one of those yet? No. No. I was going to say. It could. It could. It could, though. It could.

Tegan, thanks for your call, Tegan. Cheers, mate. Some messages in to the studio. 9696 is the text. Someone said, I've been waiting, mate. Some messages in to the studio. 9696 is the text. Someone said, I've been waiting, but nobody else has put their hand up, so I'll volunteer as a tribute to say I'm 22 and I bloody love EastEnders. EastEnders. Where do you even watch that in New Zealand?

It's on during the day, isn't it? Is it on Prime? Oh, maybe. It feels like, oh, my God, do you ever, when you're a kid, watch The Bill? Because Mum watched it. Yeah. Was The Bill the one where they walked down the street and they caught a cop?

I'm alone on this one. And then... Anya would love The Bill. She'd love The Bill. The Bill was dramatic. She would love The Bill. He'd love The Bill. The Bill was about the British police force.

Yeah, right. I'll add it to my list. It's a paper list. It's not a digital one. I wouldn't have thought so. No. I wouldn't have thought so. It's pretty on a Harcourt's pad that you got free in the mailbox with a magnet.

You were like, oh, don't throw that out. That'll be very handy. For shopping and such. It's got Julie's face on the bottom right-hand corner. Yeah, well, we never know when we want to downsize, you know? Now that the kids are gone, we're empty nesters. Somebody said, well, this never know when we want to downsize, you know? Now that the kids are gone, we're empty nesters. Somebody said, while this is all fun and games, I hope you will all take time to give Coronation Street a go.

No. But thanks to your effort. I have when I was younger. Your nan tapped out when they got lesbians on the street. I think it was lesbians that freaked her out a bit. Oh, she wasn't having it. Mm. I was like, you don't need to be.

They're not like peanuts. People can't have a wild anaphylactic reaction to lesbians. Somebody else said, keeping up appearances. Whenever it's on, we sit down and have a good chocolate. That's Mrs. Hyacinth Bouquet. Oh, wow. Would you say Mrs. Brown's Boys, an old person show?

Yeah. I think so. You say that, but then I saw so many people go to the stage show with this year. I was like, okay, this is multi-generational. It is my guilty pleasure. I bloody love,

when I go to my dad's, we always watch Mrs. Brown's Boys. Just because you like it doesn't mean it's not an old person show. It definitely is. Anya, do you like Mrs. Brown's Boys? Nah, that one's not for me.

Bit silly, is it? Yeah, it just gets... It's just a bit silly. Fletch, Vaughn and Megan. The podcast. For more, catch them every weekday from 6. Every weekday from 6.
